Swisstack Elected Sandoval County Chair at First Meeting
Tom Swisstack was elected chairman of the Sandoval County Commission at the first meeting of the new board in Rio Rancho. Ubaldo Lovato declined nomination for chair but accepted a vice chair role, as both leaders asked to table several items for review including indigent care, county association renewal, and an animal control ordinance. The panel created an Indigent Prisoner Medical Care program review board, with rules to be drafted by County Manager Pat Baca. The detention facility payment was approved amid protest from a judge’s representative, and extensions for the personnel board and Planning and Zoning task force were granted. Placitas Fire Brigade received permission to move funds for a new rescue vehicle.
