Steering Committee recommends against formation of independent airport authority

Roswell City Manager Joe Neeb talks Thursday at the Roswell City Council’s Finance Committee meeting about the recommendation from the Airport Authority Steering Committee to partner with Chaves County in managing the Roswell Air Center, rather than form an independent governing body. (Juno Ogle Photo) Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record Seven months after its inception, the Airport Authority Steering Committee recommended against the formation of an independent governing authority that would take ownership and management of the Roswell Air Center. The committee instead recommended the city partner with Chaves County in the Air Center’s management. The recommendation comes just a little over two years after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law House Bill 227, introduced into the House of Representatives and the Senate by legislators representing Roswell.

Commissioners favor state meat inspection idea | Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record A statewide initiative to bring back state meat inspections has the support of the Chaves County Board of Commissioners. The group voted unanimously, 5-0, Thursday during its regular monthly meeting for a resolution in favor of state meat inspections as a supplement to the federal meat inspection process. Commissioner Jeff Bilberry, the vice president of a ranching corporation, said he thinks such a program could help not only beef producers but also those who raise hogs and lambs. He said it also could help the smaller meat packing companies in the state that don’t have access to federal inspectors.
