Matters from Guest/Members
Reading and Approval of Minutes(Action)
A motion to approve the corrected minutes for the May 27, 2026 meeting
was made by Scott Bennett, seconded by Norman Doggett. Motion passed.
Financial Reports (Action)
No
financial report is available because of the Writ of Garnishment of all
CV funds. Norman asked if we could have an account of what we are owed
from water users now and what is delinquent by the next monthly meeting.
Leo said she would print a delinquent spreadsheet.
Reports from Officers, Boards,and Standing Committees
a) Sam Rodar reported that CV has an official agreement with the
Department of Justice. After DOJ files into the case they estimate two
weeks for some results.
CV has been officially changed from a
non-profit to a political subdivision of the NM State and is listed as
such on the NM SOS Website. CV MDWUA is organized under the Sanitary
Projects Act (NMSA 1978, Chapter 3, Article 29) as a political
subdivision of the state, but was incorrectly listed as only a
non-profit.
Sam initiated a water audit with SWEFC. There will be
no cost for CV for the audit. This will help with determining the
discrepancy between the amount of water received from Espanola and
amount billed to CV water users.
Sam also described CV has 9
items out of compliance with the NMED. Work is being done to bring each
violation in compliance. The NM Finance Administration may be willing to
help us out again after CV is back in compliance. It will also allow us
to apply for further assistance in grants. Matt will call for Henry
Roybal’s assistance.
Sam will work on changing the contact
person’s name for USDA.
b) Mel informed us of three water
issues.
1. Sombrillo’s leak
2. Al Morales
3. John Martinez
