Cubero residents urge commissioners to address flooding and road damage affecting disabled residents
Summary
Two Cubero residents told the commission on July 28 that road damage and arroyo flooding are impacting their properties and lives; one resident warned she would seek an investigation into county expenditures if the problems are not addressed.
During the public-comment portion of the July 28 meeting, Becky Sanchez of Cubero told commissioners there are holes in the road between the school and her house, that flooding from the school is running onto her property, and that a neighbor has been throwing hay, manure and grass onto her land; she provided pictures as evidence. Commissioner Ralph Lucero committed to inspect the site with the superintendent.
Elizabeth Vallejos, also from Cubero, described flooding from an arroyo behind her home that affects her and her partner. Vallejos said both are disabled and asserted the county had funds and responsibility to address the flooding; she said that if no action is taken she would pursue an investigation into county financial expenditures. No timetable for inspection or remediation was recorded in the meeting minutes.
These comments were presented during the public-comment period; no formal action or vote was recorded on these requests during the meeting.
