Saturday, April 13th. 
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Tijeras Village Council Chambers - 12 Camino Municipal in Tijeras

Go to READ MORE and then to DOCUMENTS to see the full agenda of what will be discussed.

Weather is getting nice - and that means that critters will be appearing around Paa-Ko.  Rattlesnakes (and all snakes), and bears.
So far, a bull snake has been spotted, and signs of a bear have been seen (tipped over garbage can in back of house).

Take care and be alert when doing work in your yard.  Snakes love to hide under bushes around rocks, and even wrap themselves around the base of outdoor planters.  

Please keep garbage cans inside until trash day.  If, for some reason, you cannot, please make sure the lids are secured to the bin so it is more difficult for a bear to open.  

Haven't heard if our resident Paa-Ko mountain lion has been spotted this year or not.......

In any case be vigilant when outdoors, especially when children and pets are running around your yard.

Please send me photos to put in newsletter if you get some great or unusual shots of wildlife.

Attached is the full DOCUMENT regarding the installation of the security cameras in Paa-Ko.

Please go to READ MORE and then to DOCUMENT to read.

Paa-Ko Communities Sewer Association – March Update from President Mike Boice

All documentation has been submitted to the State of New Mexico fulfilling the requirements for moving forward with the Paa-Ko WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) computer and software update.

The State of New Mexico website posted the notice with no protests.  The Sewer Association will be able to sign the $40K loan and move forward to place the Purchase Order as early as next week.  This means the update should be complete by mid-April!

As far as the $50K grant for engineering services to evaluate the system and define the upgrades that are necessary, we have released the RFP.  Seven different providers have responded.  A meeting is scheduled for all bidders on Friday March 15, 2024, to brief them on the sewer system as it now exists.  Bidders must have their proposals in by May 1, 2024.  This will be followed by source selection and a Purchase Order should be issued by June 1.

There have been a few reports of loose dogs at the top of Canyon Ridge on several occasions - no owner in sight.  An Airedale and a Sheepdog. These dogs bark at other walkers with dogs, causing them to try and take a different route because of the uncertainty of what the two dogs will do.  

This is a reminder that dogs must be in a fenced yard or on leash when outside of the house.
