Eddy County board authorizes county manager to proceed with disposal of Central Eddy County property

The Eddy County board voted to authorize the county manager to proceed with disposal of real property in Central Eddy County, the meeting chair said.

The chair said the board had gone into executive session under a statute the transcript records as “section 10-15-1(h)” to permit discussion of real-property matters. After that session, the chair asked for a motion "to authorize the county manager to proceed with the disposal of real property in Central County," which was moved and seconded. The chair then called for a roll-call vote.

Members identified in the roll call as Rose, Juan and Bowen answered “Yes.” The transcript does not identify who made the motion or who seconded it; the recorded responses in the roll call show those three members voting in favor and the chair concluded the motion had passed. The meeting did not record additional details about the property or next steps in the public portion of the transcript.

The statute the chair cited was transcribed in the record as “state of Mexico, MEANSAC, section 10 dash 15 dash 1 dash h.” The transcript appears to refer to the New Mexico statute that authorizes executive sessions for certain real-property discussions (commonly cited as NMSA Section 10-15-1(H)); the article corrects the transcription error for clarity. The transcript does not supply the parcel identifier, appraisal, buyer or timeline for disposal.

The board’s action, as recorded, directs county administration to proceed with the disposal process; the transcript does not include additional procedural details, conditions, or a recorded implementation timeline.
