Sandoval County treasurer announces staffing change, outlines tax-collection outreach and delinquent-account totals
Summary
Treasurer Taylor announced treasury accountant Rosemarie Mora will leave at the end of May and introduced internal candidate Consuelo Lucero as successor; staff reported outreach dates and said there are 511 delinquent manufactured-home accounts and 11,409 delinquent residential accounts on the tax roll.
Treasurer Taylor told the committee the treasurer's office will lose long-time treasury accountant Rosemarie Mora at the end of May and has cleared hiring of an internal replacement to provide overlap training. "She's been with the treasurer's office for over 20 years," Taylor said, and introduced Consuelo Lucero, currently an accounting specialist senior, who will assume the vault-supervisor/accounting specialist senior role effective April 27.
Taylor said the office will post the accounting specialist senior vacancy in May after the second-half tax collections period wraps up. The change is intended to ensure a trained employee is in place for the treasurer's critical cash-management duties before Mora departs.
Chief Deputy Treasurer Jessica McPartland described the treasurer's outreach schedule for second-half tax collections, listing community collection dates and locations from April 28 through May 6 and naming outreach coordinators Alberto Chaitis and Orlando Hockas who will staff libraries, rec centers and senior centers.
Treasury operations manager Holly Aguilar reported collection rates and delinquencies: she said the office has collected 59.35% for the 2025 tax roll to date and noted long-term collection rates near 94.6% (context was presented by staff); the office reported collecting $116,445 from manufactured-home accounts working since 2025 and that 511 manufactured accounts remain delinquent. For delinquent residential accounts, staff reported 11,409 accounts currently delinquent on the tax roll; the Property Tax Division plans a state auction in summer (exact date not specified) and will run a two-day auction to include more accounts, the bureau chief Roy Sentival said.
Treasurer Taylor announced a tentative manufactured-home auction scheduled for Friday, May 22 at 10 a.m., and asked staff to report back with updates on auction timing and collection results at the next committee meeting. The committee moved, seconded and approved the minutes and agenda earlier in the session and adjourned after the presentations.
The treasurer said staff will continue outreach and provide more detailed updates on state-auction timing and post-auction receipts at the next quarterly meeting.
