LAS CRUCES - Doña Ana County commissioners will meet Wednesday to consider an anti-bullying measure.

The proposed resolution seeks backing for the Community Unity Coalition, a group that aims to curb bullying.

In addition, the measure names District 4 County Commissioner Scott Krahling, Democrat, as the county's representative to the coalition and encourages other local governments to OK the same resolution.

In October 2010, the commission took a formal stance against bullying, that especially targeted the gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual community.

Also Wednesday, the commission will consider approving a $1.28 million loan from the state water trust board, along with a county match for the funding, for an arsenic treatment facility in the Santa Teresa area.

Other possible action includes:

•Adopting a Doña Ana County/City of Las Cruces All-Hazard Emergency Operations Plan, to guide response in natural and man-caused disasters.

•Accepting a $1.23 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the sheriff's department, money that would pay for security efforts along the border through July 31, 2013.

•Approve an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Co. for the county to provide water and wastewater for the
