For the first time, Hidalgo County received the prestigious New Mexico State Auditor’s Audit and Accountability Award, an honor presented annually to counties that demonstrate a strong commitment to financial ethics. This award is jointly given by New Mexico Counties and the State Auditor. Additionally, for the 11th consecutive year, Hidalgo County was recognized with a Risk Awareness Award. The Risk Awareness Program (RAP), developed by the New Mexico Municipal League and New Mexico Counties (NMC), supports counties in implementing best practices and procedures. The program aims to enhance staff morale and professionalism, increase community support, and provide a defense against potential lawsuits.
In Deming news:
The City of Deming recently announced that during a public hearing, the City Council made a significant decision for the community’s future. The Council approved an ordinance authorizing the sale of $2.5 million in General Obligation Bonds, a move that received approval from the New Mexico Finance Authority. This funding is part of the total $5 million approved by voters in the November 2022 election. The initiative represents a promising opportunity for growth and development in Deming, particularly in improving and enhancing the city’s roads.
