Dear Mr. Boje
We have been discussing this issue some at a staff level and I need to make certain that I was clear in my response to you.
Your proposed resolution will not and cannot be acted on by the Council as a part of the Agenda on Monday. Council cannot take any action on an item not on an Agenda, and the Agenda for Monday is already set.
What you can do during the public participation section is discuss the issues related to the proposed resolution and request that the Council either put the resolution on the next Council Agenda (March 17) or on an Agenda for a Special Meeting if the Council has an interest in scheduling such a meeting to take action on your proposal. I have not spoken with any of the Council members and so have no idea as to what they would or would not be willing to consider on this issue.
If you have questions, please call me at 541-2100.

Thank you Jim,
We will alert our speakers on the Resolution to come at the beginning of the meeting, and others at the end.
Mr Rubio, we invite you to inspect the document at

Please advise if you see any changes to be made
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Boje
There will be two places on the Agenda for Public Participation on items not otherwise on the Agenda. The first will be near the beginning of the meeting, likely prior to any of the regular business. The second will be at the normal location on the Agenda, towards the end after the conclusion of the published items of business.
A member of the public will have the opportunity to speak at either (but not both) of those times on any issue.
You may obtain a copy of the Agenda on line at www.las-cruces.org or by e-mail request to the City Clerks Office.

Finally, we also need a PeaceAware volunteer to copy of the Peace and Civil Liberties Resolution delivered to:
Dear Dr. Boje:
The City Clerk has forwarded your e-mail to me.
If you would like for the City Council to formally consider an issue, you will either need to have the Mayor Pro-tem put it on the Agenda, or get four members of the City Council to put it on the Agenda. This is the protocol established by the City Charter.
If the issue that you would like to have consideration of is reflected in your attachment, I believe that you will need to have someone attend the next meeting (Monday March 3, beginning at 1:00 pm) and make that request to Council during the Public Presentation section of the meeting. It will be up to a majority of the Council if they wish to have it on an upcoming meeting for consideration. It would not be considered at the Monday March 3rd meeting since that Agenda is already set. It would have to be at a future Regular or Special Meeting.
If you have questions, please advise
Jim Ericson

Dear Shirley,
We would like to get on the City of Las Cruces City Council Agenda. I spoke to Bill Mattiace and he says there is a card to fill out.
What dates are open? e.g. Mar 6 would be good.
The topic is - Peace and Civil Liberties Resolution - See resolution signors at http://www.zianet.com/boje/peace/documents/proposed_las_cruces_resolution.htm
When is the next council meeting at Silver City and Dona Ana County commission meeting?
Dreams come true.
