Summary
At its March 3 meeting the Clovis City Commission approved a six‑item consent agenda, authorized demolition of two unsafe buildings, accepted a roadway contractor quote and approved a PPA for retail expansion; all recorded votes were unanimous.
The Clovis City Commission on March 3 handled a range of routine and substantive items and recorded unanimous votes on all formal actions.
Votes at a glance: The commission approved a six‑item consent agenda that included a short‑term rental conditional use resolution (packet item), participation in NMDOT cooperative local government road fund for South Oak Street sidewalk improvements ($85,000 with a $21,250 local match), participation in a Municipal Arterial Program award for Manana Street maintenance ($553,110 with $145,777.50 match), acceptance of a $1,000,000 New Mexico Finance Authority local solar access grant to install solar at Roy Walker Recreation Center, application for an FY26 AARP community challenge grant up to $5,000 for Hillcrest giveaways, and a change order for the Friendship Center renovation. The commission voted to place the items on the consent agenda and then voted to approve them; both votes were unanimous.
The commission also approved two separate resolutions authorizing abatement by demolition of unsafe buildings at 407 North Lee Street and 1300 Ash Street after the city attorney described structural deficiencies and pictured conditions in the packet; the owners were to receive formal notice.
Other actions included acceptance of a quote from Kay Barnett and Sons for 21st Street reconstruction (see coverage) and approval of a project participation agreement with North Plains Mall Management LLC supporting Shoe Dept Encore’s expansion (see separate coverage). All recorded formal votes on those items were unanimous.
Reports and reminders: The commission heard a parks and recreation committee report (Roy Walker programming, zoo master plan and a new baby wallaby) and a monthly investment and election reminder report listing five polling locations for early and Election Day voting. Mayor Morris and the commission also reported on the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority meeting and construction progress on components of the U pipeline, including a Texaco lateral with a summer completion timeline noted by staff.
The commission set future agenda items including 14th Street maintenance funding and a library master plan grant request, and adjourned. The next meeting was announced for 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 5 at the North Annex.
