He said a preliminary plan has been submitted to HED for their perusal.

Mayor Janway asked if there were any questions for Mr. Stephens.  There were none.  Mayor Janway asked Mr. Jay Jenkins to say a few words.  Mr. Jenkins said he is a member of the committee, his business CNB Band submitted a letter along with other businesses to recommend breaking away from NMSU system.  He said being a business man it really bothered him that NMSU has $36 million of our local money and it is not being spent over the years.  He said it is a travesty.  He said we have the #1 nursing program in town, the high school program that students can gradute with an AA degree and diploma.  He said we have state of the art programs, our community has proven we can take charge and do what it takes.  He said it was a no question whatsoever for us to endorse and take local ownership of this college, we have already done that as a community.    Mayor Janway asked if anyone would like to speak, Mr. Stephens added to Mr. Jenkins statement.  Craig Stephens added to Mr. Jenkins statement about the money that has not been spent locally.  He said the money needs to stay in Carlsbad and the college should be earning the interest on the money.  Councilor Walterscheid added a comment about WIPP doing waste handling classes at the college, as he understands Hobbs offers the class.  He said he feels WIPP would be a great group to be in the college.    Craig Stephens stated they have met with ENMSU, he said they run their branches totally different than NMSU, and they would love to work with this college.  He said ENMSU offers different programs than NMSU, they offer drama, music and film, those could be incorporated in Carlsbad.  He said the Chancellor is more than happy to work with Carlsbad.  He said we can direct this college to fit with Carlsbad and the surrounding areas and can be adapted to what Carlsbad needs.  Mayor Janway added that we shouldn't forget about the potash mines.  Craig Stephens agreed with Mayor Janway.  Craig Stephens said the mines have given large sums of money to the college.  Craig Stephens said he feels there would be more stablity with a local board and a local president.
