PORTALES — The Portales City Council plans to honor a longtime firefighter for the city department when it meets Tuesday evening in regular session.
The 6:30 p.m. meeting at the auditorium of the Portales Memorial Building will feature a segment to acknowledge Lance Hill, who retired as battalion chief after 21 years of service to the department.
Other items on the Tuesday agenda include:
• A resolution to authorize participation in the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s Local Government Road Fund Program. The $100,000, which includes a 25% local share, will cover work on 18th Street from Avenue D to Avenue B and South Avenue K from U.S. 70 to 17th Street.
• A pair of agreements with Portales Municipal Schools, one for the usage of school fields for city youth programs and the other for the school resource officer program.
The Portales school board approved both of the agreements in its Monday meeting.
• A resolution to continue participation in the Eastern Plains Council of Governments for the 2020-21 fiscal year, and appointment of a representative and alternate.
• A resolution to authorize Mayor Ron Jackson’s signature on a litter control and beautification grant agreement.
