Fire Department position discussed; trustees ask questions, no formal action recorded
Summary
Captain Crystal Davis-Whited presented on the Fire Department position during the Oct. 27 Mesilla trustees meeting. Trustees asked clarifying questions; the minutes record discussion only and no formal action on the position.
Captain Crystal Davis-Whited presented to the Board of Trustees on a Fire Department position investigation during new business. Mayor Pro Tem Adrianna Merrick, Trustee Gerard Nevarez and Trustee Biviana Cadena each made comments during the discussion. The minutes record informational presentation and trustee comments but do not record a motion or formal vote on the Fire Department item.
Later in the meeting the Board entered a closed executive session that included limited personnel matters for the Marshal Department and an attorney-client privilege discussion for the Community Development Department. The minutes show a personnel appointment for the Marshal Department (Mr. Mannie Sanchez was approved as Deputy) after the closed session; the record does not tie that appointment to the Fire Department presentation.
No public testimony or additional evidence regarding the Fire Department position appears in the public minutes. The record does not specify next steps, a timeline for further investigation, or an assigned staff reporter for follow-up.
