I see you are paving Skyline but only partially (from Beach to Lantern). You are also paving as of today Lantern. Why are you not paving the rest of Skyline? It is only another 100 yards or so. Skyline has greater traffic flow then Lantern or several... read more »
Alan Briley, City Manager: Thank you for the inquiry; we have been getting a lot of questions. We chose to place a chip seal on many of the streets we just completed the sewer in. There are some streets that had sewer in it from previous phases, and some of those got chosen to chip seal.
We have made the decision not to surface streets at this time that do not have the sewer installed in them yet. We did not feel we should cover and then in some future year tear it all out, as it would be such a waste in tax dollars.
We have also been contacted by residents in the San Pedro, Mescal and part of Camino Encantado area. These streets have the sewer in them, so why havent they been put on a list to resurface? The reasoning is these sewer lines were constructed 30 to 40 years ago. They do not necessarily meet all the conditions that regulations put on us. We are taking each section and replacing manholes, installing manholes and otherwise bringing them up to a standard that will be sustainable for many years. Because of the work on these sewer lines, we have chose not to add these to the list for the same reasons "we dont want to tear up our new road".
Now you notice I have not said pave. The project that is underway right now is a double penetration chip seal, meaning a spray of oil, some rock chips, another spray of oil and some more rock chips. The contractor we have now has asked us to consider a 1" hot mix pavement instead of the chip seal. We are experimenting with this 1" pavement. We need to keep in mind that it is not a full depth 'pavement' and is a maintenance project to cover the road to prevent damage, dust and reduce maintenance.
I hope this answers your question. |

What would be the closest airport to E.B.? I would like to fly in and spend some time there. Thanks, Gf
Alan Briley, City Manager: There is an airport in Truth or Consequences, but it does not have any commercial flights going into it. We are mid way between El Paso Texas and Albuquerque, NM and both those towns have commercial airline flights. It will take just less than 2 hours to get here from either one of those. Come see us! |

I am looking for your IPRA policy on the City's website, and I don't see it.
14-2-7 requires the IPRA policy with fee schedule (and email contact of Custodian of Records) must be conspicuously posted on a publicly accessible web site, if any. Ple... read more »
Alan Briley, City Manager: An oversight on our part. The webmaster has been given the policy and will be on the website as soon as they can get that done.
You are correct about the difference between the IPRA and the FOIA. |

If I were to visit EB, is there a bed n breakfast or hotel/motel?
Alan Briley, City Manager: Our Chamber of Commerce has listings of hotels and I am not sure if there is a B & B here. The chamber web site is:
elephantbuttechamberofcommerce.com
You might also be interested that there are Aqua Lodges that are houseboats that you can stay out on the lake. The local marinas can give information. They are on the chamber web site as well. |

I'm looking to relocate to somewhere in the New Mexico area. Is there a diversity of people in Elephant Butte - racial, young, singles, families?
Alan Briley, City Manager: Not to leave anyone out - the Census for 2010 would be a good place to look. We are a population of 1400 and I would say diverse - but you would probably have to check it out for yourself. If you email me with your email address I can send you some of our 2010 statistics. citymanager@cityofelephantbutte.com |

The City of Elephant Butte is located immediately west of Elephant Butte Lake State Park, New Mexico's largest lake. The area is in the northern edge of the Chihuahuan desert offering high desert climates with warm days, cool nights and very low humidity levels. A wonderful area for year round outdoor activities including golf and fishing.
