FROM: Isaac Gamboa, Executive Director of Operations & Athletics
RE: Compliance with EPA Asbestos-Containing Materials
in Schools Act (AHERA)
DATE: November 10, 2025

The Farmington Municipal Schools has updated the “Asbestos Management Plan” as required by the Environmental Protection Agency, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The original “Asbestos Management Plan” was prepared by R & H Associates, Inc., an EPA accredited consulting firm in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was updated in 2003, 2008 and 2011 by Contract Environmental Services of Farmington and then by Asbestos Consulting of Lovington, New Mexico in 2014, 2017 and 2020. The new 3-year Farmington Municipal Schools asbestos re-inspection report was completed in October 2023 by AnE Consulting, Inc. of El Paso, Texas.

The “Plan” lists whether asbestos is located in a Farmington school and what action will be taken with regard to control of the asbestos. A copy of the “Plan” is available at the FMS Plant Operations office located at 2855 Southside River Road, Farmington, NM 87401.

The Maintenance Department will inspect the asbestos area every 6 months. A copy of the six-month inspection is available at the FMS Plant Operations office and the Principal’s office at each school.

Asbestos abatement is an ongoing process at Farmington schools and is usually done in conjunction with renovations such as HVAC upgrades, carpet replacement, etc. Country Club Elementary School is scheduled for a partial floor replacement during the unoccupied periods of the 2025-2026 school year. Farmington Municipal Schools encourages you to take the time to review the “Plan” and become acquainted with the asbestos situation in your schools. Our first concern is to maintain the safety of all students, teachers, and staff members of the Farmington Municipal Schools.

If you have any questions concerning asbestos in your school, please contact Mr. Isaac Gamboa at 324-9840 ext. 3208 or Mr. Charles VandenBroeck at 599-8621 at ext. 2104.

BEFORE THE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Durango City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 during the regular Council Meeting scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 949 Second Avenue. This is a request to hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance stating that the City of Durango opts out of revising Durango’s Code of Ordinances regarding electric vehicle (EV) permitting processes as described in HB24-1173 prior to December 31, 2025. In 2024, Colorado passed the Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits law (HB24-1173) in 2024. This law encourages local governments to adopt land use permitting processes and standards for public charging projects (particularly with regard to larger-scale DC Fast Charger stations) to foster more streamlined, transparent, and consistent permitting processes. Municipalities with 10,000 or more people and counties with 20,000 or more people as of the 2020 Federal Census are required to take at least one of the following compliance actions by December 31, 2025:
A. Adopt the permitting processes and standards from the EV Charging Model Land Use Code developed by the Colorado Energy Office (CEO);
B. Adopt the permitting processes and standards prescribed by HB24-1173;
C. Adopt an ordinance or resolution stating that the local government does not wish to change its existing land use codes and opts out of revising its codes.
The proposed ordinance aligns with compliance path C.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the public is invited to attend and present written and/or oral testimony regarding this proposal. Written comments (or emailed comments which can be sent to PublicComment@DurangoCO.gov) from those who cannot attend but want their opinions considered in Council’s deliberations must be received by noon on Monday, November 17, 2025 by the City Clerk’s office, 949 Second Avenue, Durango, CO 81301.
