City Council Moves to Cut Gas Rates and Restructure Finances
City fathers voted to lower gas rates by 1.00 per 1000 cubic feet, basing changes on November 1984 supplier costs. Monthly rates begin with 3.80 per service charge and tiered charges up to 50,000 plus a 3.80 minimum, while a second vote trimmed the Municipal Judge salary to 150 dollars. A budget transfer of 24,800 funds a Las Cruces well project with 75 percent possible state reimbursement. The council also discussed re routing a local gas line, historic sign markers for Lordsburg, extra Christmas day off, and budget tightening under Mayor Hill. Utility receivables stand near 10,000 with 40 payment agreements ongoing.
