    For three hours, the North Central Region Transit board sat behind closed doors, trying to hash out the details of executive director Tony Mortillaro's contract.

    When the dust settled Friday afternoon, the board approved a contract that would give Mortillaro a base salary of $100,000 per year and no vehicle allowance of $500 per month.

    "I am just glad now we can focus on moving forward," Mortillaro said.

  • Teen Center Study progresses

    Only about 20 people turned out, about half of them teens, to the first of three public meetings to discuss the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Phase I Study for the Los Alamos Teen Center Facility Thursday evening.
    “Although turnout was low, there was a nice cross-section of the community there,” said Linda Daly, executive director of the YMCA.
    Council approved $150,000 for the Phase I study in December 2010. The Phase I study request argued that Los Alamos needs a teen center because of its isolation. Los Alamos lacks the places where teens usually “hang out,” such as shopping malls and bowling alleys.

  • Authorities seize semi trucks

    New Mexico Motor Transportation Police have discovered that the two big rigs involved in separate incidents on N.M. 4 last week contain multiple violations.

    “Both vehicles received a federal level one inspection, which includes the frames as well as everything inside,” said MTP spokesperson Wendy Graft. “They did not have proper paperwork for that cargo. The trucks have been impounded while we’re waiting for the company to send us the paperwork.”
