FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER Anthony Da Silva: There
was a meeting today for the New Mexico Mainstreet project. He turned it over to Barb Hinnenkamp, who gave some
background, and then read the letter of approval she got from them.
She was congratulated by the assembly and the audience for her
hard work and success. Mary Ann Closson: She was
approached by some residents who are worried about the Forest
Service’s plans to keep roads open to ATV and motorized traffic, which
will disturb the peace and quiet of the forest.
She had a petition to sign and some literature to read for anyone
interested in voicing their disapproval of the Forest Services’ plans. Dieter Vogt: Discussed
the County Commissioners meeting in Pena Blanca last week and wondered
why the Commissioners and/or Jeannette Wallace had not been invited to
Cochiti Lake. Ken said that
he, Jan and Anthony had met with our county representative during the
time of the bus service meetings, and had invited them at that time. Cindy Eakin: Told
Assembly that Qwest had been in touch with Mary Wheeler about their
plans to bring the proper lines to town, not in 2007, but in 2008.
She suggested a massive pre-campaign, bombarding Qwest and PRC
with requests for service. Ken Kiesling: Asked
Anthony Da Silva about the status of the sewer system.
Anthony had not yet spoken to Joseph Suina, but that they were
looking into various remedies. Jim Hamilton: Had good
news and bad news about the recycling program.
There is still excellent participation in the program, but the
grant money they were seeking was denied because we are a Leasehold
Community. However, there
are ways around that, and he will pursue a partnership with Buckman Rd
Recycling Center. He will
keep the assembly informed of progress. Ken Kiesling: Asked Mary
Wheeler to ask Calvin for his recommendation of what level of assistance
he needs in the back of the ambulance. Glenn Holiday:
Congratulated Barb Hinnenkamp for her excellent work efforts on behalf
of the town. Mary Wheeler: Thanked Cindy Eakin for her generous and invaluable help with the audit.
