On March 18, 2026, the Clovis-Curry County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) met to discuss a major revision of its bylaws, receive updates on emergency planning efforts, and hear reports from member agencies. The meeting began without a formal quorum but proceeded under agreement to continue discussion and make a recommendation.
Oh the number. Oh wow. There we go. Good afternoon, everybody. Um we'll do roll call via the sign in sheet at the door, so make sure you sign in before you leave. Um we do not have well I don't think we have a proper quorum at this point. Who do you have? I have well, Mr. Lucera would be energy or utilities. Let's see, where's my old list? Yeah, she'd sent me an email previously. Yeah, Elaine's here. Right across from you. And then local utility. Are you afraid of each other? I saw like there's a bunch of papers there. Oh maybe somebody's saying you would have been fine. I recommend that we go ahead and have this discussion and make a recommendation still knowing that we don't have a quorum, and the reason why we're doing these bylaws is because we can't get a quorum. Okay. Sounds good. So we're gonna jump to new business, which is discussion and recommendation regarding the LEPC bylaws. Um are the old are the well current bylaws that were approved back in twenty uh two thousand three. Because there are quite a few changes in here. Some of the key changes have to do with membership and who is needed to be represented. We have narrowed that list down a little bit. It also moves me from chairperson to information coordinator. And we'll put hopefully somebody from one of the either the city or the county commission as chairperson. Just following the current format of all city boards and committees. Our list of other organizations that need to be represented. I think went from like 16. 16 or 17. Where'd that list go? One, two, three, four. How do we still have eleven? I think the old list was no, the old list is more than eleven, I think. Yes. We went from 18 to 11. So hopefully that'll make that all make getting a quorum at each meeting easier. So can we can actually conduct business. The ones that we took out were representative from Canon Air Force Base because they should be an ex officio member anyway, not a voting member. Then we took out City of Clovis Safety Officer. We took out public works director. We combined Clovis Police Department with the Curry County Sheriff's Office. I'm trying to think of what else. There was we added transportation services. This was on we were following the guidelines from the there's an LEPC, a federal LEPC handbook that lists agencies that should be involved. And we went off of that list plus the list that we had currently. Other changes included rewriting the standing committees to align what we currently have in place and making sure ad hoc committees was in there. So if we need any other committees along the way, such as bylaws committee, we can add those until their task is completed. The bylaws stated quarterly.
