V. BROKER AND PUBLIC FORUM

stating that GAAR is happy with their collaboration with the New Mexico Real Estate Commission
(REC). He thanked the Commission for their efforts with regard to education and their swift action for
allowing courses online. However, Mr. Cravens expressed some concern that REC staff is no longer
honoring a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that GAAR and the REC entered into in September,
2019. The MOU outlines a quick verification process for license transfers without the need for licensees
to wait to be updated in the system. Mr. Cravens said that the process was working well until late
January, 2020 and he requested that REC Staff resume following the MOU.

NM Real Estate Commission Meeting
May 18-19, 2020
Agenda Page 4 of 14
d) Update on Executive Secretary Ciddio
There was no discussion on this agenda item.
e) Discussion and Possible Action on Organizational Chart
Commissioner Johnson asked Commissioner Koether to move this item up on the agenda to follow
the Public Forum due to relevance, so this discussion took place earlier in the meeting.
The Commission reviewed an organizational chart for the New Mexico Real Estate Commission
Staff. The chart lists Wayne Ciddio at the top as the Executive Director and Roxanne Romo under
Mr. Ciddio with the licensing staff under her to include Brittany Dominguez and Debra Gallegos.
Also listed under Mr. Ciddio are the investigators Lyn Carter, Perry Bryant and Valerie Martinez and
Administrative Assistant Germelyn Vivar.
Ms. Romero Halama stated there is no proposed change to the organization chart. She has not been
added because she has been working with staff only on a temporary basis in Mr. Ciddio’s absence.
Member Johnson read the following statement for the record:
“With due respect to the staff at RLD who have been working diligently through the
simultaneous storms of the situation with the Executive Secretary of the Commission
followed by the COVID Virus and with nothing personal intended. The way the
situation with Mr. Ciddio was handled has turned my attention to the organization
between RLD and the Real Estate Commission. I was caught on my back foot at the last
meeting, when I learned our respected Executive Secretary was suddenly put on leave.
There was no discussion with or explanation to Commissioners. Since that very
unfortunate day, I have learned of RLD’s intention to control our rule making process,
control our investigative process, control our agenda, and a practice that was already in
place, control our budget. I learned that someone at RLD decided not to honor an MOU
the Commission has with GAAR regarding license transfer. Additionally, I read notices
posted to the licensees that during the COVID crisis, The Real Estate Commission had
decided to allow waivers for continuing ed for license renewal, allowed licenses to be
renewed without fingerprints, and to allow all classes for credit to be conducted via
Zoom. The Commission had not met since January. How was it that the Commission
made these decisions without the Commissioners being consulted? When we wonder
about things like this, we turn to the statute: 61-29-4.3 says that the Commission is
Administratively Attached to RLD. What does that mean?
9-1-7 of the NMSA 1978 says:
A. An agency attached to a department for administrative purposes ONLY shall:
1. Exercise its functions independently of the department and without
APPROVAL or CONTROL of the department;
2. Submit its budgetary requests through the department; and
3. Submit reports required of it by law or by the governor through the
department.
B. The department to which an agency is attached for
administrative purposes only shall:
1. Provide, if mutually agreed, the budgeting, record-keeping and
related administrative and clerical assistance to the agency; and
2. Include the agency’s budgetary requests, as submitted and without
changes, in the departmental budget.
C. Unless otherwise provided by law, the agency SHALL HIRE ITS OWN PERSONELL
in accordance with the Personnel Act (Chapter 10, Article 9 NMSA 1978)
That made me question the authority of RLD over this Commission. This led me to find
two AG Opinions on similar matters. I quote from Opinion number 87-58, “RLD only
NM Real Estate Commission Meeting
May 18-19, 2020
Agenda Page 5 of 14
should perform clear administrative duties. The Board (Veterinary) is an autonomous
entity, to which the legislature granted broad statutory authority to carry out its specific
purposes. Therefore, it is our opinion that the Board, as part of its policy making
functions, has the statutory power to hire and executive director at a salary that the board
determines. The RLD act does not in any way supersede the Veterinary Practice Act,
especially with respect to the personnel or budgetary decisions”. Until that unfortunate
day in January, this Commission had been running well, functioning in good faith and
good will. Since that day, it has become clear to me that for reasons unknown to me,
RLD is overreaching its statutory authority over this board.”
Member Johnson made a MOTION that Lori Chavez, AAG seek an opinion from the Attorney
General’s Office (AGO) specific to the New Mexico Real Estate Commission regarding the
Commission’s authority and control of its own budget, hiring and firing of its Executive Secretary,
its investigators and the investigative process, its rule making authority and agenda, its website, its
license renewal process, and communicating questions from licensees and public. Member Foltz
SECONDED the motion. Motion PASSED by UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
Member Johnson made a MOTION that until such time as a decision is delivered to the Commission
for discussion by this body, all existing processes, including the MOU with GAAR remain in place.
Member Foltz SECONDED the motion. Motion PASSED by UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
f) REC Budget – Discussion and Possible Action
President Koether stated she requested the Commission’s budget from RLD and didn’t receive a
response so she filed an Inspection of Public Records Act Request (IPRA). She also stated she
received very general information and would like someone from RLD’s Administrative Services
Division (ASD) present to the Commission at its next meeting to answer questions regarding the
Commission’s budget.
g) Update and Discussion on PSI Contract
Member Johnson made a MOTION to defer until the next meeting. Member Foltz SECONDED the
motion. Motion PASSED by UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

Committee Members. The Commissioners discussed the process and determined that the
