AZTEC — The San Juan County Commission will consider a memorandum of understanding with the City of Farmington for the city to act as a fiscal agent for the senior centers.

The former fiscal agent chose not to pursue funding this year and the city chose to step up and submit an application for Bonnie Dallas Senior Center as well as the two county-run senior centers and the centers in Aztec and Bloomfield.

The County Commission meets at 4 p.m. Oct. 6 and the meeting can be viewed on YouTube.

Other agenda topics include a presentation on regional broadband and a presentation about the behavioral health initiative.
