Disaster and relief costs loom after regional snow incident
A man died of a heart attack while shoveling snow and another man died in a snowdrift near a mobile home as recovery teams worked. The Chaves County Road Department cites preliminary costs of 310 961 for labor and equipment with contractor expenses possibly doubling to 431 000. Final figures should arrive in two weeks. The county seeks federal and state reimbursements totaling as much as 87 5 percent. The board approved actions including 496 136 in HUD funds for Tobosa Building expansion and a 19 856 New Mexico energy department grant for East Grand Plains Fire Department gear. They backed HR 4313 to ease federal rights of way disputes, supported the original New Mexico Livestock Code, and approved funding applications to support emergency medical services and indigent care policies.
