County launches Youth to Youth DWI program and landfill plans
The county started a DWI prevention effort named Youth to Youth across Jemez Bernalillo and Cuba districts alongside an offender treatment program and an Employee Assistance Program with workplace alcohol screening. A 10 percent county match funds two new components STARS for hard to rehabilitate offenders and a Club device penalty program. The commission also approved continuing the county landfill with an RFP for engineering services to expand and potentially raise out-of-county hauler rates. Renovations were approved for the Sandoval judicial complex to address overcrowding and space issues, with a new complex considered for the future as judge Brown urged action.
