GCC 2026-11-10 Special Meeting

The Grant County, New Mexico, Board of Commissioners held a special meeting on November 10, 2026, and convened as the county canvassing board. The board approved the canvass and certification of the November 3 general election results. Commissioners and the clerk also discussed election operations, including staff and poll-worker contributions and concerns about the timing of poll-worker payments; no related purchasing decision was reported.

Commissioner Medina raised concerns about a proposed $26 solid-waste fee expected to come before the board around November 19, arguing that some residents may effectively pay twice for disposal through county landfill charges and private hauler bills. He cited a $62 annual county landfill charge and a $45 monthly bill from Gila Sanitation, and called for examining the hauler’s Grant County customer base; no fee decision was made at this meeting. The commissioners also discussed expanding the applicant pool for the county manager position and entered executive session on personnel matters and litigation. No contract award, solicitation, or other procurement action was identified.
