Lordsburg seeks part-time City Hall clerk, applications open until filled

Job seekers in Hidalgo County who want municipal work can apply for a part-time City Hall clerk job in Lordsburg, where applications and detailed job descriptions are available at City Hall, 409 W. Wabash St., during office hours Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The city posted the opening on May 6, 2026, listed it as open until filled, and said it reserves the right to reject any or all applications.

The city did not list a wage in the visible posting, so applicants would need to review the full job description at City Hall for pay, duties, and qualifications. Even so, the opening matters far beyond one desk job. In a small city like Lordsburg, the City Hall clerk sits at the front door of local government, where residents often turn for forms, records, customer service, meeting information, and help with utility questions.

That role ties directly to the work of the City Clerk’s Office, which the city says is responsible for courteous and efficient public service, preserving and protecting vital records, managing cemetery records, publishing legal notices for City Council meetings, complying with the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, and supporting the mayor, City Council, and staff. Irma Saenz is listed as the city clerk, and the clerk office contact email is city.clerk@cityoflordsburg.org.

The timing also lines up with a recent change in how City Hall operates. Effective the week of Monday, March 30, 2026, the city moved to Monday through Thursday office hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and closed on Fridays. The clerk posting matches that schedule, underscoring how tightly staffing and public access are linked at City Hall.

Lordsburg’s meeting calendar shows why that coverage matters. Regular City Council agendas are posted 72 hours before meetings, and the city’s agenda request form says topics should be submitted at least five business days in advance so they can be pre-studied. Recent council materials also show personnel matters involving the city clerk and accounts payable clerk discussed in executive session, while a March 4, 2025 special-meeting agenda included approval of a part-time City Hall clerk. For residents, filling the vacancy could mean faster answers, smoother records processing, and steadier daily service at the center of city operations.
