The Clovis City Commission met on March 19, 2026, to hear updates on the new city website and the Curry County Substance Use and Behavioral Health Program, and to consider a range of resolutions and ordinances including regulation of short-term rentals and lodgers tax.
March 5th are adopted and yes, votes will be recorded for each of the members of the commission. We uh certainly want to recognize our our visitors and the guests in the meeting chamber uh this evening. Thank you for um what each of you uh are bringing this evening, whether it's an agenda item or input uh during public comment or presentation. We're grateful for uh your being here and for your interest in uh tonight's city commission meeting. We do not have any planned uh proclamations, awards, or presentations, so we'll we're moving into receipts of petitions and communications or often referred to as public comment, and we have two planned communications uh this evening. The first is an update regarding the new City of Clovis website, and Ms. Nicole Holcomb, um our marketing and events coordinator is going to share with us about the website. Is that right? Yeah, all right. Well, Ms. Holcomb, thank you for being here and uh the little bit that I've looked at it, it sure looks nice, and so we're excited to hear uh about the new website. The floor is yours. All right, I'm gonna share my screen. Hopefully. Unfortunately. Um, all right. So a long time in the making. Um we worked with Civic Plus, and they um with our input built this whole new website. Um we have got when this is our home landing page. Um we've got photos of the city, and those are all interchangeable. Right now we've got it set um so that I believe every time you go to the page, it will show you something new. Um it'll rotate through. We kept um our navigations, they're pretty similar to the old site where you can hover over and you can see different things that you might want to go to. Um we didn't make too many changes on what was readily available from the old website to the new website. We've got our lovely buttons here that when you hover over, you can see exactly which one you're over, and it'll take you directly to those um items. So far, this is what I've found people are looking for the most. Um always open to feedback. And if anyone thinks there's anything missing or that people might be looking for, we're gonna keep an eye on that and we can always interchange those with what we need. So right now we are on our meetings tab. So the calendar for March shows you exactly when meetings are. If we help go to our events, we'll go over to April. You can see what we've got going on, our community Easter egg hunt, Great American Cleanup. So we can put all of those things in. So anytime we post on the city Facebook page, it goes directly to there. And that's the same with all of our department header packages, which would be our airport, CATS, fire, police, emergency management, all of those have department header packages. I'll click on one just to show you real quick. It has its own color, its own logo. So it's still within the same theming of the main city website, but we're able to give those departments that have kind of their own logo and colors, the ability to do that in their own links, their own calendar, all of that. And then there is one big thing I wanted to show you guys that we're also very excited about. If you go into the popular links and you hit this middle one that says notify me, there is now the ability that you can create an account. You do have to create this account, it's just your email and you make a password, and then you can sign up for either email. And if you choose to use your phone number, put your phone number in there too, you can get text alerts about the calendar items when new calendar items are added, as well as our news and update, which is where the any press releases that go onto the website. People can, if they're subscribed, whenever I send one out, I'll also include a notification, and anyone who is subscribed will get that notification so they know what is going on. So those are my big things I wanted to touch on. Not sure if any of you guys have looked at the website, have questions, have feedback. I'm open to that. Well that's great. I agree with you on the calendar feature. That is really handy. And then being able to sign up for notifications, that's uh that's a very useful tool.
