C2 Albuquerque Journal METROPOLITAN Wednesday, January 21, 1998- APS Meeting-Pay Hike Sought METRO WATCH II "A lot of us attend a lot more than four meetings, and I'm getting tired of working for nothing." prohibits any board member for receiving per diem for more thap. four meetings a month, paying them a maximum of $300 monthly. Board members, however, typically attend at least six meetings" a-month, with the full board and itfr1 three committees meeting two' times each. Most board members sit on at least two of those committees. And Lopez says it's not uncom-T mon for her to attend as many as 10j to 12 meetings a month, since the.

board also has subcommittees and holds unscheduled meetings. This year, APS is set to spend $25,200 in per diem payments for" board members. 1 Lucero said additional per diem; money could taken from the. $10,000 allotted this year for board member training, of which only, a fraction has been spent. APS Chief Financial Officer Michael Vigil said the board typi- cally does not exhaust its annual, budget each year, sending unused' reserves to the district to spend on other programs.

6 Lucero said he does not want to have to dip into other areas of the i district's budget in order to increase the number of per diem payments that are paid. Board To Decide On Pursuing Issue By Matthew Franck Journal Staff Writer Saying they are grossly undercompensated for their time, several members of the Albuquerque Pub-he Schools Board of Education are seeking more money for attending official meetings. On Monday, the board's finance committee discussed the possibility of compensating board members for each meeting they attend. Currently, board members are paid $75 for each of up to four meetings they attend each month. "A lot of us attend a lot more than four meetings, and I'm getting tired of working for nothing," said board member Aggie Lopez.

Lopez had requested that the finance committee discuss the matter Monday. It will now be up to the full board to determine whether to pursue the matter further in coming weeks. Already, however, Lopez appears to have gained the support of fellow board members Robert Lucero and Richard Toledo. Lucero said he is frustrated that to report the noise, said Albuquerque assistant fire chief Eugene McPeek. The blast, the last ui a series of six over the past several days, was designed to measure how well a window's frame and components held up in an explosion, Applied Research Associates division manager Don Cole said.

He said a private firm contracted his company to perform the tests. Local residents heard only Monday's blast because of a weather "inversion" the layering of hot and cold air in the airspace over the base, Cole said. The inversion carried the sound much farther than in previous tests, he said. N.Y. Heist Suspect Appears in Court A glum-looking Richard Gillette made his first appearance in federal court Tuesday to face charges stemming from the Jan.

13 robbery of Brink's guards at the World Trade Center. Gillette, 39, had swapped the trademark Green Bay Packers jacket that helped lead to his arrest for an orange jail jumpsuit when he appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge William W. Deaton. Gillette was arrested Friday night after jumping off an Amtrak train bound for Los Angeles.

Gillette had been questioned by members of a drug task force, who found and confiscated $18,000 in cash he was carrying, when he exited the train and headed for an Albuquerque sports bar. He is charged with Michael Reed and Melvin Desmond Folk, who also are in custody, in the heist that netted over $1 million most of it in foreign currency. A detention and identity hearing is scheduled before Deaton on Thursday, once the case agent arrives from New York. The robbery occurred during the Tuesday morning rush hour when three men confronted two Brink's guards on their way to deliver cash to a Bank of America branch on the 11th floor of one of the trade center's twin towers. The robbers, wearing ski masks, flashed a gun and used handcuffs and plastic wiring to tie up the guards and five other people on the freight elevator, according to an arrest warrant from the Southern District of New York.

Surveillance videos captured them at various spots in the building, and a confidential informant identified Reed, Gillette and an individual named "Desmond," according to the arrest warrant. according to Albuquerque Police Department Detective Don Roberts, who's helping Albuquerque Public Schools police investigate. He said the incidents appear to be related. All reportedly occurred within two blocks of Eisenhower Middle School but involved at least one student from Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary. The suspect apparently waited until each youth was alone.

"Basically, what we have are incidents of a young man in a little white car that is approaching children in the neighborhood wanting to look at their legs," he said. "There were a couple of occasions where he actually approached them and started stroking their legs." He said two incidents were reported at the end of last school year and one was noted in September. The most recent incident was reported last week on Carruthers NE, Roberts said. Roberts said details of the encounters remained sketchy Tuesday, but added that investigators have talked with school principals to let them know what's going on. Eisenhower Principal Ginny Eubanks said that at the beginning of this school year, a student from her school was standing on a median on Academy NE and approached in a similar situation.

"Nothing really happened; the kid ran," Eubanks said, according to information she had. "Nothing has been happening here at Eisenhower, but we've given safety warnings to our students on how to walk to and from school safely." She also said police have picked up patrols in the area. Georgia O'Keeffe administrators were unavailable for comment. The suspect is described as white, in his late teens or early 20s, with brown, wavy hair and round glasses. He stands about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches tall and weighs about 175 pounds.

Anyone with information can call the APD Crimes Against Children Unit at 7614060. Window-Test Blast Causes Base Boom A big boom heard Monday in parts of Albuquerque came from an experiment at Kirtland Air Force Base, researchers said Tuesday. Applied Research Associates of Albuquerque conducted a routine test of commercial, blast-resistant windows by detonating a TNT-like substance at 12:30 p.m. on the south side of the base. The boom prompted residents in the Four Hills area to call police dispatchers Circus Asks USDA To Rescind Fine King Royal Circus is asking the U.S.

Department of Agriculture to rescind a massive fine and restore its license to show animals. The circus, which owned a dead elephant found in a filthy trailer in Albuquerque last summer, is appealing a decision by a USDA administrative law judge. The judge found the Texas-based circus committed 103 violations of federal animal care and transport laws. In a Dec. 11 decision, the judge fined the Texas-based circus $200,000 for the violations.

In court documents, Judge Victor Palmer called the fine "the highest to be imposed in an animal welfare case (in the nation) to date." The USDA received the appeal Tuesday. Because the circus is appealing, owner John Davenport maintains his license and doesn't have to pay the fine. A federal investigation into the circus began after police discovered three elephants and eight llamas on Aug. 6 crammed into the trailer, which was sitting in an Albuquerque hotel parking lot. One of the animals, an 8-year-old African elephant named Heather, had died.

Ron Koch, the Albuquerque attorney representing the circus, said Tuesday the circus didn't violate the law and a USDA inspection of the circus just prior to the August incident found no deficiencies in its animal-care procedures. King Royal's appeal goes before a USDA judicial officer. Further appeals will go before the Secretary of Agriculture, and then to federal court. In a separate legal action, the city of Albuquerque is seeking custody of the animals and pursuing animal-cruelty charges against the circus. Reports Say Man Approaching Boys Police are investigating reports that a young man with a "leg fetish" has been hanging around Northeast Heights schools and following some students home.

Four boys have alleged they were targeted in the encounters, TVI May Buy Renaissance Site DEATHS FUNERALS AOQIE LOPEZ, BOARD MEMBER state lawmakers, for example, are paid for each meeting they attend and receive more compensation. State lawmakers draw a per diem payment of $125 for each day spent in Santa Fe. "In many instances, we are just as important as state legislators," Lucero said. But board member Henry Rodriguez said such comparisons, are unfair, especially since state lawmakers typically dedicate their entire day to official business. "Do you think it's fair that you attend a half-hour meeting and receive a full per diem?" he asked.

"Because 'diem' means day." Under state law, school board members receive no pay. They are, however, allotted a per diem reimbursement set by the state for the expenses they incur while attending official meetings. APS, in turn, has a policy which In July, TVI appeared close to purchasing the vacant, 50-acre Siemens manufacturing plant near Eubank and Interstate 40 for $6.75 million. But the property's size and the fact it had been the subject of a $2.5 million environmental cleanup caused TVI officials to lose interest. In December, TVI officials solicited new proposals for the site.

Kaufman, chairman of the property acquisition committee which recommended the Renaissance Center site to the Governing Board, said officials received about 18 proposals. "For the ones we received that would have required rehabilitation of a building on the site, it would have been difficult to pin down the overall cost (of refurbishing the building)," he said. Glennon said the Renaissance Center was chosen primarily for its location. It's near small businesses in the Northeast Heights and Downtown, as well as businesses in the indus- band, Jesse A.

"TVI graduates will benefit," ne added. "I think the important thing is not who will build it, but who wijl be served by it."

nur ramuy from PAGE CI and TVI officials have said a bigger center is needed to better serve more manufacturers and businesses. TVI Interim President Michael Glennon said the land will cost about $980,000. The new center, planned to be about 75,000 square feet, will cost about $6 million. To build the training center, TVI will use the $4 million approved by voters and ask the Legislature during its current session for an additional $3 million. Glennon said a smaller building will be built if lawmakers approve less than $3 million for the project.

"It's been a very well thought out process," said TVI Governing Board member Blair Kaufman. It's the best possible location we could come up with, with the best price."
