Commission moves forward on CPACE notice, approves participation in law-enforcement recruitment fund
Summary
Commission voted to publish intent to consider a CPACE-style improvement special assessment ordinance and approved participation in a state law-enforcement recruitment fund that would fund detention-center positions with phased DFA payments.
The Taos County Commission approved two administrative resolutions: one declaring intent to publish a draft ordinance creating an improvement special assessment program (a CPACE-style financing mechanism) and another authorizing participation in a Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) law-enforcement recruitment fund.
Jessica Stern (county staff) told commissioners the county has been working internally on the CPACE ordinance and is aiming to publish notice ahead of an adoption hearing planned for November 19; the county will meet statutory advertisement requirements by publishing the draft on or about October 31. On the recruitment fund, staff described a three-year funding pattern (100% first year, 50% second year, 25% third year) covering newly added detention-center positions; the county would absorb positions after the DFA subsidy period ends.
