Special Meeting/Joint Meeting
Town of Carrizozo/Village of Capitan
Wednesday, January 5, 2005

The Village of Capitan Board of Trustees held a Joint Meeting with the Town of Carrizozo on January 5, 2005 at the Village Hall Building. Mayor Sederwall called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm. Trustees present were George Tippin and Bobbi Shearer. Trustees absent were Bill Martin and Ed Davis.

Reference to Capitan/Carrizozo Gas Compan : Mayor Sederwall said that Village of Capitan feels that they have an obligation to the people of Capitan to dissolve the Capitan/Carrizozo Gas Company. That Capitan wants it to be a joint effect and not leave either Village or Town without natural gas. The Village of Capitan wants the divorce to happen quickly and not have another bill come out with the high rates.

Mayor Hernandez said he respected the Mayor thoughts and for what you want to do is the benefit for your community, but he feels different about it. We will turn it over to our attorney Dave Stevens let him be the spokesman tonight and give you a run down on what we feel, what we think and what we should do. If you want out, it can be done, but Just like I told you before over the phone, this is just not something that you can take and do over night. You have to go through all the legalities and the attorney can explain it a more better than I can. If you will let Dave Stevens conduct the meeting on behalf of the Town of Carrizozo and the Gas Company.

After a lengthy discussion, the Town of Carrizozo wanted a Public Meeting for both communities. A public meeting was set for January 20, 2005; Town of Carrizozo at 5:30 pm in Carrizozo and Village of Capitan at 6:3 0 pm in Capitan. A joint meeting was set for January 25, 2005 6:30 pm in Carrizozo.

Motion by Trustee Shearer seconded by Trustee Tippin to adjourn at 8:24 pm. All in favor, motion carried.
