Otero County Commission Special Meeting Monday September 28, 2026

The Otero County Commission held a special meeting on September 28, 2026, primarily to address procurement and funding matters related to local infrastructure projects. The commission discussed a resolution to certify financial hardship and request a waiver for the local match requirement of $78,000 for the Timberon guardrail safety improvement project, phase one, funded by the New Mexico Department of Transportation. Due to limited funds and recent road damages, the commission agreed to apply for the waiver to alleviate the financial burden. The motion to approve the waiver request was passed unanimously. Additionally, the commission approved holding an executive session to discuss real property acquisition or disposal, indicating ongoing considerations related to county assets.
