Portales council tables pool agreement again
Portales City Council on Tuesday again tabled a decision on a proposed swimming pool agreement between the city and Eastern New Mexico University.

“The agreement is very fair and comes down to the Council’s pleasure of what services you want to provide and in what manner,” interim City Manager T.J. Cathey told Council members.
The proposal failed to find support, but councilors agreed to reconsider it at their next meeting.
