Roosevelt County Commission Special Meeting 06/23/2026

The Roosevelt County Commission held a special meeting on June 23, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related discussions focused on the county fairgrounds and a regional behavioral health plan. The commission approved increasing fees for fairground stall rentals from $15 to $25 per night and hookups from $25 to $35 per day, while removing the deposit requirement to reduce administrative workload. They also discussed signage sponsorships for the fairgrounds, deciding to table that item pending further information and local vendor quotes. Additionally, the commission reviewed and approved the 2026 Regional Behavioral Health Plan for Judicial District 9, which includes Roosevelt and Curry Counties, allocating $6.6 million in state funds primarily to support a crisis triage center and related administrative costs. The plan aims to address behavioral health service gaps and is funded through state legislative appropriations, with no immediate financial obligation to the county. The meeting included discussions on funding challenges, opioid settlement funds, and the regional impact of behavioral health services.
