City considers agreement with county on Air Center funds

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh and some city councilors expressed concerns at a Thursday morning meeting about a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Chaves County over the use of a $5 million state appropriation for the Roswell Air Center. Members of the Roswell Finance Committee City Councilors Jason Perry, Jacob Roebuck and Margaret Kennard voted after the discussion that the draft MOU should be reviewed by all city councilors at a Jan. 14 City Council meeting. Kintigh had some specific concerns about the “vagueness” of the MOU, as well as priorities for spending the funds. Kennard and City Councilor Jeanine Corn Best expressed their upset over the 2020 state capital outlay award itself, saying they thought the county should have received city approval before asking for the funding because the airfield and its related properties are owned by the city.

Committee recommends cutting city furlough days | Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record Roswell City Manager Joe Neeb asked members of the city’s Finance Committee to “take a leap of faith” in recommending dissolving six remaining employee furlough days. Committee members Jason Perry, Jacob Roebuck and Margaret Kennard took that leap, voting 3-0 to recommend the proposal for the full Roswell City Council consent agenda at its Jan. 14 meeting. Councilor Juan Oropesa was absent from the meeting. Items on the consent agenda will be considered in one vote unless a councilor requests an item be removed and placed on the regular agenda. In its fiscal year 2021 budget, the city planned for 10 furlough days one pay period spread throughout the year as part of a $31 million cost-cutting plan, expecting the coronavirus pandemic would drastically reduce the city’s gross receipts tax collections.

Councilors consider ways to end recent conflicts | Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record Elected officials with the Roswell City Council are considering changes to their committee system, voting procedures and rules to create more efficiencies and end the high-tension conflicts of recent months that have resulted in some councilors walking out of meetings and that prompted Mayor Dennis Kintigh to say he is being worn down by the need to keep order at the monthly City Council meetings. “I want you to quit picking at each other. I am weary. I am tired,” Kintigh told city councilors during a Saturday workshop where elected officials began discussions that could take the next few months to result in decisions.
