Mammoth Election Canvassed, New Council Members Take Oath Of Office
|
 | | New Mammoth Council Members Take Oath Of Office |
It took two official meetings and went one day past the official deadline, but the votes from the March 13 Primary Election and Recall Election for the Town of Mammoth were finally canvassed (made official) by the Mammoth Town Council.
The first meeting, set for Wednesday last week, ended without any action being taken because the council did not have a quorum. Four is the minimum number of council members needed to hold an official meeting and take action. Present at Wednesday night's meeting were Vice Mayor Frances Wickham and Councilmen Alvaro Barcelo and Rudy Romo. No other councilman nor the mayor attended.
The council attempted to call a second special meeting on Thursday, March 29, but it was later determined that those present did not have authority to call the special meeting. That authority rests with the mayor. [Read full story]

Mining Report
|
 At press time Copper was being sold at $3.94 a pound. This price reflects a penny overnight increase.
On March 21, Governor Brewer signed Senate Bill 1054 which will allow mining companies to allow 12 hour shifts for underground workers. This bill which was introduced by Resolution Copper will take effect on July 19, 2012. Previous state law only allowed mining companies to allow for eight hour shifts underground in a 24 hour period; that law was written well before federal mining regulations and modern mining methods were put into effect. Officials from Resolution Copper explained that at this time this bill would potentially affect 90 of their 500 employees and contractors. Resolution does not plan on immediately moving to 12 hours shifts but is considering 10 hour shifts.
Resolution Copper
Work continues to progress on the development of the number 10 and number 9 shafts at the Resolution Copper Project. At this time the company is reporting that the number 10 shaft is currently at 5,340 feet underground. The number nine shaft, which is undergoing rehabilitation, is currently at 3,020 feet. The number nine shaft is being modernized and rehabilitated. [Read full story]
