Clovis commission approves consent agenda and authorizes abatement and demolition for two unsafe properties
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a 13-item consent agenda including grant applications and maintenance agreements, adopted resolution 3367-2026 to demolish a fire‑damaged house at 406 E. 10th, and adopted resolution 3368-2026 to secure an unsecured structure at 212 Diamond Head (owner notice then city action if not remedied).
The City of Clovis commission unanimously approved a 13-item consent agenda that bundled routine permits, grant applications and capital or maintenance items. Items included conditional use resolutions (3364-2026, 3365-2026), a replat approval (3366-2026), an application request for FY27 grant programs, a Parks Capital Improvement List, quarterly lodgers tax disbursements, an application and potential acceptance of a $43,500 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program award to buy a backup generator for the Clovis Police Department, scope-and-fee agreements with CDM Smith for landfill phase‑1 closure services and with Stantec for trail design, maintenance agreements with the New Mexico Department of Transportation and an EPPCOR temporary construction easement.
Mayor moved the consent agenda and the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
The commission then considered two code‑enforcement abatement requests. City Attorney Mister Morris described 406 East 10th as a fire‑damaged residential structure owned by Jose Martinez with compromised framing and roof; building officials recommended demolition as a public‑safety measure. After clarifying a photo-address geotag issue with staff (Mr. Perkins explained the geotag artifact in photo metadata), the commission adopted resolution 3367-2026 authorizing demolition; the vote was recorded as eight in favor and none opposed.
The next item, resolution 3368-2026, concerned 212 Diamond Head, a residential structure with unsecured doors and windows and repeated trespassing complaints. Morris said the process is notice to the owner, a chance to remedy, and then city-secured abatement if the owner does not comply (typically after 15 days). The commission adopted the resolution by unanimous vote.
All recorded votes were unanimous; staff indicated owners will receive the resolutions and the city will proceed with the standard notice-and-abatement timeline where necessary.
