Roosevelt County commissioners took a series of routine actions and votes during the public meeting, approving several staff requests and deferring one contract award.

The commission voted to enter and exit indigent session and subsequently approved the recommended indigent actions as presented by staff.
Jury deliberation room renovation: Staff presented ITB 2025-1 and recommended awarding the Roosevelt County jury deliberation room renovation contract to EPX New Mexico LLC for $365,350. A commissioner noted that additional contract parts were submitted after the meeting packet and recommended deferring action until the full contract package could be reviewed. The commission voted to defer the award to the next meeting.
DWI funds interdepartment agreement: The commission approved an FY 2026 interdepartmental agreement to use local DWI funds ($10,200) on a reimbursement basis to support checkpoints and additional patrols, including coverage for a scheduled prom. A roll-call vote was taken and the motion carried.
