Grant County Commission proclamations 041123

At the April 11, 2023 Grant County Commission work session, after presentations and some county reports, County Manager Charlene Webb said, in her review, that the first item on the regular meeting agenda for April 13, 2023, would address a public hearing and discussion regarding Ordinance No. O-23-03, an ordinance entitled Wireless Telecommunications Facilities, Regulating the siting and Permitting of Wireless Communications Facilities. 

District 5 Commissioner Harry Browne commented: “It’s a matter of trusting you.”

Webb replied that the ordinance has worked well in other communities. “I think having a contractor with knowledge will be a huge benefit to the county.”

Planning Director Randy Hernandez said the contractor would attend the regular meeting on Thursday.

At the public hearing, no one gave testimony for or against the ordinance, and the hearing closed.

Commissioners approved the ordinance. 

With no public input, the next items on the regular meeting agenda included several proclamations: The National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month and the Day of the Young Child Proclamation; the National Public Safety Tele-communicators Week Proclamation; Fair Housing Month Proclamation; National Correctional Officers Week Proclamation; National School Lunch Hero Day Proclamation; and the Martyn and Alex Olson Tour of the Gila Bicycle Race Week in Honor of Martyn Pearson and Alex Olsen Proclamation.

Following the proclamations, New Mexico District 28 Sen. Siah Correa Hemphill gave update on the 2023 Legislative Session, which will be addressed in the next article.
