Kirtland Posts March 10 Meeting Notice, Recruiting Council Seat, Part-Time Project Manager

The Town of Kirtland posted, "There will be a Regular Meeting of the Kirtland Town Council on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 at 5pm. The meeting will held in the Council Chambers of the Kirtland Town Hall, located at 47 road 6500, Kirtland, NM 87417." The notice appears in the town's Latest News block and names the Council Chambers at 47 Rd 6500 as the meeting room.

The town's website also lists a hiring notice for a Part-Time Project Manager/Technical Advisor, stating, "The Town of Kirtland is hiring for a Part-Time Project Manager/Technical Advisor. Posting will close April 1, 2026." Applicants are instructed to send resumes to clerk@kirtlandnm.org and to contact the Town Clerk at 505-598-4160 with questions. The March hiring block mirrors a July 2025 agenda entry that discussed a Technical Advisor/Compliance Officer as a part-time position, indicating continuity in the town's search for technical staffing.

Separately, Kirtland is recruiting to fill an open Town Council seat, posting, "The Town of Kirtland is seeking a community member to serve on the Kirtland Town Council." The notice sets explicit eligibility: "Candidate must be a resident of the Town of Kirtland and must be a registered voter." The council vacancy is described as "a volunteer position, with a future potential of compensation," and the town advises, "This position will be open until filled." Resumes for the council seat are to be emailed to clerk@kirtlandnm.org; questions can be directed to 505-598-4160.

Historical town records posted by the Town Clerk show procedural context. An agenda posted July 14, 2025 for a July 17, 2025 meeting used the same address and 5:00 p.m. start time and listed agenda sections A through G, with Old Business including "Technical Advisor/Compliance Officer – part-time position discussion" and items tied to San Juan County local election filing deadlines in August and September 2025. That 2025 agenda also notes accessibility accommodations and physical public posting practices.

Kirtland's public notice protocol includes physical postings at six locations listed in the 2025 agenda: Kirtland Town Hall, Kirtland Post Office at 4211 HWY-64, Dairy Queen at 4216 HWY-64, Lower Valley Water Association at 4286 HWY-64, General Supply at 4345 HWY-64, and the Harper Valley Bulletin Board. The town's contact block gives office hours as Monday-Thursday, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, and every other Friday, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, with the Town Clerk reachable at 505-598-4160 and clerk@kirtlandnm.org. The town website lists multiple language translation options, including Spanish and Chinese (Simplified), among others.

The March 10 meeting notice does not include a full agenda packet in the Latest News posting; applicants for the April 1 job closing and residents seeking information about the council vacancy should use the Town Clerk contact information provided to request application details or the meeting agenda.
