Plan of Action
Kill Senate bill 1 in legislative session 2023; if that is the right phrase to describe bringing an end of a bill resulting in motion to do not pass in the committee's legislative process.
Introducing a bill that would provide collaborative professional technical programs to underserved communities for the purposes of providing affordable professional services to those who request temporary services on the annual contractual agreements that promotes and allows small community Public water systems to be a fiscal agent unto them selfish . training services will provided to encourage operations utimitly without the Regionalization collaboration services training program. When these services are no longer needed because system has met its goals of becoming self reliant all contracts with service provider will be made without the threat of any fiscal harm or financial Libility of:
Contracted certified public accounting service.s. CPA’s since 2013 have been Mandated to be employed by every government entity located in the state of New Mexico.
Certified operators are required by every community public water system to ensure quilts of water and waste water operation in providing safe clean affordable water. This service and be provided at agreed arrangement of set amount of years no less than one
Project managers are needed and provided by written requests and are meant to ensure adequate funding and affordable funding sources and implementation of expenditures to ensure funding is provided for appropriate projects, programs and services for bringing about sustainable development and growth to implement resilient communities that have the capacity to govern themselves within their communities water system existing service areas that can be used to provide stakeholders ownership of real equity.
This has real opportunity for businesses investors to provide professional services and technical services paid for by the taxpayer to ensure capacity of any community who by electing by popular vote in favor for professional services provided by Regionalization collaboration programs funded by the taxpayer to ensure safe clean affordable water in a training program that provides sustainability and resiliency to community public water systems.
This is the Regionalization Collaborative Program we need in place instead of Transfer of Ownership Transfer of Responsibility.
SB1 is the beginning of the re-governance of water resources
New Mexico is currently only investing funds in infrastructure improvements to community public water systems at just a 1/2 of percentage each fiscal year and would need to build projects that would last up to 200 years in order to be resilient enough to last its life expectancy at this current rate of service investment. We need invest more funding to improve and increase productive services through legislative efforts in providing affordable funding and technical assistance to enhance capacity to provide safe clean affordable water
Funding source is in Article IX, Section 14, subsection H. Nothing in this section prohibits the state from expending state funds or resources for the purpose of providing essential services primarily for residential purposes if the assistance is granted pursuant to general implementing legislation approved by a majority vote of those elected to each house of the legislature. The implementing legislation shall provide for accessibility to essential services primarily for residential purposes and include safeguards to protect public money and other public resources used for the purposes authorized in this subsection. As used in this subsection, "essential services" means infrastructure that allows internet, energy, water, wastewater or other similar services as provided by law.!
Funding provided by subsection d.
Nothing in this section prohibits the state or a county or municipality from creating new job opportunities by providing land, buildings or infrastructure for facilities to support new or expanding businesses if this assistance is granted pursuant to general implementing legislation that is approved by a majority vote of those elected to each house of the legislature. The implementing legislation shall include adequate safeguards to protect public money or other resources used for the purposes authorized in this subsection.

Each specific county or municipal project providing assistance pursuant to this subsection need not be approved by the legislature but shall be approved by the county or municipality pursuant to procedures provided in the implementing legislation; and
Each specific state project providing assistance pursuant to this subsection shall be approved by law.
This is an emergency act to protect the sovereignty and autonomy of the people at the local level of government for the people of the people and by the people of shared interests and responsibility of self governance.
This is a much needed course of action that is a more responsible action than to be taking actions facilitating and promoting transfer of ownership and transfer of responsibilities from the people at most important level of government at the local level provided by our respected republic form of government.
Additional funding can be provided by State Revolving Funds where administrative allocations can be used by like agencies, entities or nonprofit organizations (information concerning funding from SRF’s can be found in CWSRF AUP’s and the DWSRF’s Attended Use Plan AUP’s
