County Manager Debbie Hays explained to commissioners there were three reasons for this year’s “good solid budget.” The reasons Hays gave? She said good fiscal management and that old-fashioned concept, belt tightening, made that happen.
There was still room in the budget for a five percent “across the board” increases in county employee salaries this next fiscal year in spite of watching the expenditures.

Sandoval County staff says they will spend $97 million for services next year.
Slicing it thin, they are projecting at this time that the projected revenue from the general, road and miscellaneous fund accounts will be $97.097 million.
Three-quarters of next year’s expenditures will be spread between direct community programs, public safety, roads, public works and landfill.
The bulk of their revenues come from Sandoval County property taxes and grants and legislative allocations from the state and federal government.
The commissioners approved the preliminary budget with little dicussion.
They will have until July 31 to make any adjustments to the preliminary budget.

In twenty or thirty years our streets will be paved. Why not pay to have them done now because the cost of its paving will do nothing but become more expensive every year we avoid it.
I'm strongly in favor of each area absorbing the cost of paving its own area. I'm ready and I'll be living there soon. "

1. SAD7 is a feeble attempt by the council members to force so-called 'improvements' to lot owners for their 'welfare'.
2. Cost estimates started around $10K per lot. Now, it's closer to $15K. What are the real costs-including interest?
3. There are serious concerns whether this process is even 'legal'.
4. Most land owners are AGAINST SAD7. What about paving, gas&elec, lighting, serwer, etc?? I am protesting. "

Our communities experience with Waste Management has not been positive. Waste Management's "Good Neighbor" policy has not been positive in Waste Management's attempt to expand the Alliance Landfill in our hometown. For details go to http://www.alliancelandfill.blogspot.com
