Summary of 2005 Activities

• A review of the Las Cruces City Charter, now in progress, (is chaired by SNMCC Board member Woodie Jenkins). SNMCC was against the little and not meaningful changes that were being made to the existing City Charter. The Utility Board change was the only one that was controversial.    

• Matt Brix and Bill McCamley spoke at the SNMCC Annual Meeting. 

•  Addressed the NMSU Regents because they have consistently avoided “Open Meeting Act” requirements in their Executive Sessions / closed sessions. Subsequently a meeting was held with the NMSU attorney. SNMCC decided to take legal action. SNMCC then brought the matter to the attention of the State Board of Common Cause.

•   Issues were brought to the attention of Memorial Medical Center’s Managers such as indigent care, mental health and possible conflicts of interest by SNMCC and Dona Ana County.
