Commission highlights
The Catron County Commission met for its monthly meeting on Oct. 21 Among the highlights:
* Request to rename the Reserve Community Center to the Ray Estrada Community Center. Motion passed after community members praised the dedication and efforts exemplified by Ray.
* A presentation from the Datil Area Community Advisory Board (DACAB). They are seeking acquisition of land in Datil area and apply for funding to build a multipurpose facility. This facility will be used for health care services, community meetings, and law enforcement meetings.
* Pie Town representatives Ken Bostick and Sue Bolander reported on this past Pie Town Festival. “We had approximately 1,500 fairgoers and served over 2,540 slices of pie,” said Ken. He shared with the Commission the need for improving and repairing the Pie Town Park and community center. The commissioners will look into assisting Pie Town with these needs.
* Cybersquatting, also known as Domain Squatting, was a topic discussed. As this may involve the county as well as various businesses in the county, a more detailed information packet will be presented to the commissioners at a later date.
