Las Animas County commissioners set March 3 hybrid work session with Rainmaker

Trinidad’s Las Animas County Board of County Commissioners met in a hybrid work session at 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time on March 3, 2026, in the Commissioner’s Chambers at the Las Animas County Courthouse, 200 E. First St., Room 201, and by Zoom for a listed discussion with Rainmaker Technology Corporation. The item appeared on a work session agenda published as a legal announcement by KRTN and was scheduled after the Board’s regular 9:00 a.m. meeting the same day.

The posted work session agenda followed standard call-to-order procedures: invocation, Pledge of Allegiance, roll call and approval of the agenda, then a single substantive line-item described as “Discussion with Rainmaker Technology Corporation,” followed by adjournment. The KRTN copy included the line “Las Animas County is inviting you to a scheduled Hybrid meeting,” and also showed the agenda header “LAS ANIMAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION AGENDA March 3, 2026 1:00 p.m.”

Commissioners Felix M. Lopez (District 1), Robert A. Lucero (District 2) and Tony C. Hass (District 3) are the elected members who appear regularly on Board rosters; contact information captured on the same page lists emails and phones for each commissioner: felix.lopez@lasanimascounty.org, 719-845-2593; robert.lucero@lasanimascounty.org, 719-845-2595; and tony.hass@lasanimascounty.org, 719-845-2592. County Administrator Phil Dorenkamp is named in the meeting materials as the county staff point associated with the Board’s work sessions.

KRTN’s legal announcement was posted March 2, 2026, and the page header displayed March 4, 2026. The KRTN notice includes a “Join Zoom Meeting:” label but the captured copy contains no Zoom URL, meeting ID or passcode, indicating the public posting did not include virtual access details in the version archived by KRTN. KRTN’s page also lists its contact as Enchanted Air Radio, 575-445-3652.

The agenda did not provide further information about Rainmaker Technology Corporation’s purpose at the session; no staff report, contract language or presentation summary accompanies the single agenda line “Discussion with Rainmaker Technology Corporation” in the posted notice. The county’s embedded description of the Board on the same page reiterates its administrative and policy-making role for Las Animas County, including budget development, ordinances, zoning and oversight of services such as road and bridge maintenance and human services.

Records captured on KRTN do not record votes, outcomes or meeting minutes for the Rainmaker discussion. To determine whether the March 3 work session produced recommendations, a procurement request, or follow-up actions, the county’s official meeting packet or minutes and any presentation materials from Rainmaker will need to be obtained from Las Animas County staff or the County Administrator’s office.
