PORTALES - The right-to-work ordinance that elicited considerable public input the last time it was on the agenda will come back before the Roosevelt County Commission at today's meeting.
The commission is expected to take action on the ordinance following a public hearing regarding the right-to-work ordinance. County Manager Amber Hamilton said the hearing is a requirement for all potential ordinances prior to the commission's action.
When the notice of intent for the ordinance was adopted at the commission's June 26 meeting, the meeting began with about 30 minutes of public comment featuring proponents of the ordinance praising its increased freedom for workers and opponents of the ordinance declaring it "a union-busting measure."
Last month the Curry County Commission took no action on a similar right-to-work proposal.
Also on the agenda for today's meeting, scheduled for 1 p.m. in the commission room at the Roosevelt County Courthouse, 109 W. First St.:
• A trio of year-end financial items. Resolutions regarding final budget adjustments and the fourth quarter report for fiscal year 2018 and the fiscal year 2019 budget will each be voted on by the commission.
• The meeting will be followed by an executive session. The agenda calls for discussion of "limited personnel matters and/or attorney-client privileged information pertaining to threatened or pending litigation."
Action may be taken as a result of the closed session, the agenda states.
