About the Charter Amendment
|
|
|
The proposed changes to the Bernalillo County Charter, the primary governing document for the county, are minor in nature and allow for clean-up of language, minor authority and administrative adjustments to promote efficiency.
|
- The hiring process for the chief of the Bernalillo County Fire Department is streamlined so that position becomes a direct hire by the county manager instead of undergoing county commission confirmation.
- Language is added to clarify the collaboration between the county manager and county attorney in retaining outside counsel for cases involving conflicts of interest concerning county business, and the county manager’s ability to retain counsel to assist with the duties of his or her office.
- The county’s legislative process is amended to include deputy county managers among those elected officials and county employees authorized to sponsor legislative agenda items. Finally, various small language corrections are made throughout the charter.

 Archaeologists have found the ruins of a Cretan temple found beneath thousands of tons of ash and have connected it to the legendary lost civilization of the Minoans. In addition, they have also found remains of the Minoans themselves. Thanks to scientific technology and historical evidence, the mythical and beautiful Minoans will rise again. We will view a short documentary and examine this great discovery as we discuss which DNA markers are most identified with this ancient culture.
