San Juan County approves amendment to joint powers agreement with Navajo Nation to collect $269,202.80 arrears
Summary
The commission approved a third amendment to the joint powers agreement with the Navajo Nation covering three transfer stations so the county can pursue collection of $269,202.80 in arrears, described in the meeting as 11 months outstanding as of March.
Mr. Savegra presented the third amendment to the joint powers agreement (JPA) between San Juan County and the Navajo Nation for operations and maintenance of transfer stations at Shiprock, Sand Springs and Upper Footland. He said the amendment is intended to allow the county to collect $269,202.80 currently in arrears.
Savegra told commissioners the arrears date to January and that San Juan County staff and Navajo Nation representatives, including Charlene Jeff, had discussed paths to reconcile the amount. "The exact amount is $269,202.80," Savegra said when asked about the figure and confirmed that the arrears were from January and represent 11 months outstanding.
Commissioner action: speaker 1 moved to approve the third amendment and a second was recorded; the commission voted by voice and carried the motion.
Savegra noted the amendment language may be modified slightly after the Navajo Nation’s final review to correct clerical details, but said county staff hope mutual approval will let both parties move forward with collection and operation under clarified terms.
The commission did not record additional financial terms or a repayment schedule in the public discussion. County staff later confirmed the figure and said they will continue discussions with Navajo Nation representatives to reconcile outstanding balances and finalize the amendment.
