County approves raises to attract and retain workers
The commission backed a $2 per hour increase as projected cash balances hover near $5 million. Chairman Robert Lopez called the hike the best way to secure staff, with Fortner and Zamora supporting a livable wage for road and jail workers. Critics warned of wage compression as the county contemplates future 2 to 5 percent raises. Additional budget boosts include $20,000 for a pothole machine, $241,711 for the former Bob's Budget Pharmacy building renovation to house a regional emergency center, and $60,000 to boost election cybersecurity. The board also approved Transportation Fund Project sponsorship requests totaling $2.92 million for Quay Road 63 and $344,676 for Quay Road AR engineering. Assessor Dana Leonard noted the protest board lineup, and DWI coordinator Rico Marano announced more school programs, with Carl Marano becoming Tucumcari Public Schools' new superintendent in July.
