City Council Allocates $55,439 to Cover Outstanding Invoices for Pedestrian Safety Projects
The City Council approved a budget adjustment of $55,439 from the general fund to cover outstanding invoices for the Second and Third Street pedestrian crossing safety projects. These projects involve professional services for design, with Wilson and Company having completed over 70% of the work. The design phase has been paused due to issues with grant agreements and funding, with new agreements expected around August or September. The outstanding invoices date back to October 2025. The council expressed concern over the delayed payments and potential impact on contractor relationships. The Second and Third Street projects are currently listed as priority number six on the city's ICIP list with a budgeted amount of $202.5 million.
City Council Approves July 4th Event Permit with Park Avenue Road Closure
The City Council discussed and approved a permit application for the July 4th Stars and Stripes event. The event will feature vendors, food trucks, live music, and a drone show, with the public portion opening at noon. A road closure on Park Avenue between Zouri Road and Fourth Street was authorized from 6-7 AM on the day of the event. Entrance and parking are free.
City Adopts Infrastructure Improvement Plan, Prioritizes Library and Airport Projects
The City Council reviewed and approved Resolution R2026-25, adopting the annual New Mexico Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) for the city. This plan is a five-year projection of infrastructure needs submitted to the state for funding consideration. It includes 46 projects across various departments, with conceptual cost estimates. The council discussed and ultimately agreed to prioritize the regional library as number three and the airport as number four in the top five legislative priorities. Public comment highlighted strong support for the library, emphasizing its role in education, economic development, and community well-being, and raised concerns about the public notice process for the ICIP. The resolution passed with affirmative votes from all council members present.
City Council Approves Amendments to Renewable Generation Systems (RRGS) Program
The City Council reviewed and approved amendments to the Renewable Generation Systems (RRGS) program and an interconnection agreement. The amendments aim to consolidate program requirements into a single document, address operational and technical gaps, and ensure the program's sustainability. Key changes include updating definitions, clarifying participation limits per customer, maintaining system size limits (10 kW AC for residential, 75 kW AC for non-residential), establishing a pathway for larger projects, revising load-based system sizing to 80% of historical consumption, formalizing solar array sizing, establishing battery energy storage system requirements, and setting program capacity allocations (4.77 MW AC for residential, 10.23 MW AC for non-residential). The resolution also clarifies administrative responsibilities and grandfathering clauses for existing participants. Appendix A details the avoided cost calculation methodology.
City Council Approves Five-Year Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP)
The City Council reviewed and approved Resolution R2026-26, which adopts the annual New Mexico Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) for fiscal years 2027-2032. The plan serves as a five-year projection of infrastructure needs and funding priorities, intended for state legislative consideration. For FY27, the plan prioritizes furnishings for the new senior center. FY28-30 focus on vehicle replacement (food truck, senior transport van). The ICIP is a planning tool, and project costs are conceptual estimates. The council also discussed potential adjustments to project start dates to align with state fiscal year conventions. The resolution passed with affirmative votes from all council members present.
