County commissioners invited to public meeting

"County Commission members invited to public meeting

Community members have invited Santa Fe County officials to discuss further and better ways for the public to be involved in county decisions. As of Thursday, no county officials were planning to attend.

The forum is scheduled for Wednesday. Organizer Katherine Andrews said she sent an e-mail invitation to County Manager Roman Abeyta and County Commissioners Paul Campos, Jack Sullivan, Virginia Vigil, Harry Montoya and Mike Anaya on Sept. 8.

The invitation — signed by more than 25 groups and residents, including the League of Women Voters, Drilling Santa Fe and the Southwest Energy Institute — requested an RSVP by Sept. 15.

Andrews said only Montoya and Vigil replied, both to say they probably could not come.

The stated purpose of the meeting is to "define a mechanism for greater citizen participation in the current strategic planning for growth management."

Abeyta told The New Mexican on Thursday that he will send someone from the county's land use department. "They are the ones doing growth management," he said." More>>>>
