District 1 Commissioner and Chair Chris Ponce started the Dec. 8, 2022, regular meeting saying: "I would like to say it's sorta sad that this is (District 2) Commissioner (Javier "Harvey") Salas's last meeting. I want to tell him that I appreciate everything you did for Grant County, as well as the building of our friendship through this commission. You had projects that we are hoping to move forward. The county staff also appreciates you, and I want to hand you a token of our appreciation. We all put ourselves in the line of fire when we run for office. I've also come to know your wife—a lovely lady, who supports you totally. I also have a token for your wife. She has been graceful in supporting you."
