Summary

Following a closed executive session on personnel, trustees approved appointments for grounds and maintenance and a Water Operator Level 1; starting pay rates were announced during roll call votes.

After returning from a closed executive session on limited personnel matters under NMSA 1978 Section 10-15-1(H)(2), the Mesilla Board of Trustees approved multiple staffing actions.

The first approval was for David Morales to join the grounds and maintenance team; the mayor stated starting pay would be $15.50 per the job description. The board moved and seconded the recommendation and the roll call vote was recorded as affirmative. The board also approved an appointment for Isaiah Chavez to the Water Operator Level 1 position, with starting pay set at $18.50. Both appointments were presented individually and approved with motions and roll call votes.

The transcript also records a hire referenced in the closed session as 'Ferrales' in one segment and 'Ferales' in another; the board approved a grounds-related appointment but the transcript spelling is inconsistent. The board directed staff to proceed with onboarding for the approved hires.
