Approval of Agenda 1. Amendments 2. Tabled or Withdrawn Items CHAIR ROYBAL: Do we have any amendments? TONY FLORES (Deputy County Manager): Mr. Chair, good afternoon, Commissioners. The agenda was posted on March 7th and as amended was posted on the Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting of March 14, 2017 Page2 10th of March. I draw your attention to page 2 of the amended agenda, item III. C. 3, the resolution authorizing the County Manager to negotiated and execute all agreements as it relates to the agricultural extension office. That item has been tabled and moved to the March 28th agenda. On page 3, Matters from the County Attorney, item VI. A. The caption has been retooled to make sure that we had any unnecessary authority removed and also we added items 1, 2 and 3. And then Mr. Chair, I had a request that we move item VII. Discussion and Information Items and Presentations to immediately following the Consent Agenda, thus allowing us to have the executive session as the last matter of our doing business. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: Mr. Chair. CHAIR ROYBAL: Commissioner Anaya. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: Mr. Chair, Mr. Flores, [inaudible] excited and eager users of the new extension facility [inaudible] about it progress and I see we're tabling this item. Could you just provide some additional feedback? Is it a logistical reason for tabling, or still [inaudible] to move forward, or could you just provide a brief snapshot as to where we're at with the project? There's a lot of people excited about the opportunity to use it once it's constructed. MR. FLORES: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Anaya, thank you for that question. The resolution that was on the agenda today was authorizing the County Manager to be able to sign all construction agreements or any other agreements that were necessary for the bid that is currently on the street before the actual bid opening. The impetus of that resolution was to ensure that timing issues, we didn't have any constraints once the bids are opened and an awarded that it did not have to be brought back to the Commission to·execute that contract. From my perspective, the project is under bid currently. We have some time constraints relative to the severance tax bonding that the state of New Mexico has provided to us in the past, so this resolution is merely to avoid any contractual delays in getting the contract moving once the bids are open, which has not been done. So [inaudible] report to the Commission to you Commissioner Anaya, your question, the project is still moving forward and still anticipated to be underway by the time the summer schedule happens so this is a way [inaudible] further contractual obligations. COMMISSIONER ANA YA: So, Mr. Chair, Mr. Flores, let's leave it on. Can we leave it on? MR. FLORES: Mr. Chair, the packet material was not received. The resolution was not ready. It was not ready as of the time of the meeting today. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: Okay. I got you. So it was a logistical matter and we can move forward at the next meeting so once the bids are in the project can move to construction. Is that accurate? MR. FLORES: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Anaya, yes, that's accurate. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: And just for clarification for those that are maybe listening in on the radio or watching via streaming, this is in reference to the youth ag facility that was part of the Extension Service that was the number one recommended project that we fixed building, based on our building assessment to replace a building that was built in the fifties and it's in Commission District 5 and it's at our Santa Fe County Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting of March 14, 2017 Page3 Fairground facility. So is that accurate, Mr. Flores, what I just said? MR. FLORES: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Anaya, that's 100 percent accurate. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: Okay. Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. The other question I had was the last thing you said, Mr. Flores, was that we're going to move presentations, which would be -was it VII. B? Because I was going to make a recommendation but if that's already covered in your recommendation I won't. Did it cover the presentations under VII. B? MR. FLORES: Mr. Chair, Commissioner Anaya, yes. The entire item VIL would be moved up which includes presentations, immediately following the Consent Agenda. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: So I would request that, Mr. Chair, is if we could do VII. B. 1 after the approval of the Consent I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time, Mr. Flores and Mr. Chair and the Commissioners. CHAIR ROYBAL: Thank you, Commissioner Anaya. And just to be clear, we are moving item number VII right after the Consent Agenda. Is there any other amendments or tabled or withdrawn items from the Board or Manager? Okay, so seeing none, what's the pleasure of the Board? COMMISSIONER HAMILTON: Move to approve. COMMISSIONER ANAYA: Mr. Chair. CHAIR ROYBAL: Okay, we have a motion. Commissioner Anaya, would you like to second or did you have something else to say, sir? COMMISSIONER ANAYA: Yes, if I could, Mr. Chair. Just if we could do that VIL B. 1 right after the Consent I'd appreciate it. CHAIR ROYBAL: Would this motion include that amendment, Commissioner Hamilton? COMMISSIONER HAMILTON: Yes. That would be fine. CHAIR ROYBAL: Okay, I have a motion. Do we have a second? COMMISSIONER HANSEN: I'll second it. CHAIR ROYBAL: We have a motion and a second.
