CLOVIS The Clovis city commission filled its District 4 vacancy Thursday, electing Megan Palla to serve the remainder of the term won by R.L. “Rube” Render.
Palla, a certified public accountant in Clovis for 23 years and a longtime member of the city’s economic incentive board, was elected from a field of five candidates. Others vying for the position included Clovis Homecare, Inc. Director Amy Corbin, New Mexico Department of Agriculture Inspector Senior Lynn Culberth, former city manager and police chief Raymond Mondragon and contractor/developer Stephen Whittington.
Palla, who will serve out the rest of Render’s term through next March, said she had a goal to make Clovis a place where children would want to return to raise their own families and build their own businesses.
