Satellite Offices Served Almost 2,000 Residents During Summer
Santa Fe County's three satellite offices issued over nine hundred landfill permits and filled another one thousand or so residents requests from July thru September of 2008. The offices, located in Pojoaque (opened April 2007), Eldorado, and Edgewood (both opened October 2007) are open three days a week and are part of an ongoing effort to improve services to residents throughout the County.
The Eldorado location had approximately four hundred contacts with seniors at the Ken & Patty Senior Center and the Pojoaque staff assisted the Care Connection with over two hundred contacts.
Landfill permits make up about half of all resident contact in the satellite offices. More information about Santa Fe County's satellite offices can be found at http://www.santafecountynm.gov/resident/satelliteoffices.php.
