41
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:46,159
Henry.
>> Thank you. Yeah, Henry Shonard, 663

42
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:51,840
Lwood Drive Northwest.
And I spoke at the last board of trustee

43
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:57,120
meeting not too long ago. Uh and didn't
realize I had met much too much to

44
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:03,120
cover. Uh I I would just like to repeat
that I I'm a volunteer

45
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,680
uh at at Los Ranches Elementary and I'm
also on the advisory council of the

46
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:15,200
department of senior affairs and I think
of these two volunteering

47
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:22,560
um things that I do as m complimentary
and in line with um the age friendly um

48
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:29,680
mission of the department of senior
affairs intergenerational

49
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Um so I um
I basically the vision that I have is to

50
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:40,560
make um Los Ranchos Elementary a
community school

51
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:46,400
um as much as possible and I've
distributed what it is that a community

52
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:52,320
school actually is able to do. Uh I
won't go through it. You can read it

53
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:59,040
trustees and mayor. Um, but it it it
really is it's I think of interest to

54
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:05,040
you as uh leaders in the community to to
know that about about what a community

55
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:11,840
school is. I really uh one of the main
reasons I spoke um uh last time and I'll

56
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:19,600
repeat it now is I want to work with
community members um and in making Los

57
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:26,000
Ranch Elementary as much as possible a
community school and a neighborhood

58
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:32,639
school which it used to be no longer is.
Um, parents here don't necessarily send

59
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:40,160
their kids to the school uh for various
reasons, but it's an issue. Um, I'm

60
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:45,680
looking ahead to a uh the election of
the APS board election, Albuquerque

61
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:52,320
Public Schools, and we'll be able to
vote on the representative for district

62
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:57,840
number three, which is now held by the
president of the board of Albuquerque

63
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:03,759
public schools. I think that's going to
be uh an important election to getting

64
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:10,800
the leadership of Albuquerque public
schools

65
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:17,120
to uh collaborate with the community in
in doing schools that I think I think

66
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:22,160
we're pretty clear that they've fallen
short and I'd like to see that that

67
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:30,319
happen. And that's one of the strategies
of being a community school is is uh is

68
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:33,680
collaborative leadership and practices.
Okay. Thank you very much.

69
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,960
» Thank you.
>> Thank you, Mr. Jeff Phillips.

70
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:50,479

77
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:31,680
Next up, uh there is a public

00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:37,919
engineering of the middle Rio Grand Levy

open to the public events hosted by

82
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:04,960
along the PBLO Aakia between PBLO Solano

83
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:11,759
hosting in their back right adjacent to
the uh to the Asakia. And then at 7 PM

84
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:15,120
at Edgewood Park, uh Judy and Henry and
the neighborhood have been doing that

85
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:20,560
one for a while. Edgewood Park is at
Edgewood and Osuna. So mark your

86
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:27,440
calendars, come on out uh to one or both
of those. And then now on to a little

87
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:32,560
little less uplifting note um for you
guys. In September of last year with

88
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:38,159
resolution 240905,
this body took the severe action to

89
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:43,039
declare the property at 605 Tascosa Lane
Northwest a menace to the public

90
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:50,160
comfort, health, peace, and safety. And
you ordered the removal of any and all

91
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:55,680
weeds, limbs, ruins, rubbish, wreckage,
debris, refues, refues, and dangerous

92
00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:00,320
buildings from the property. You took
this severe action of last resort

93
00:08:57,839 --> 00:09:04,959
because it is a severe situation, one
that has existed for years. It's been

94
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:10,160
years since the previous administration
took the exact same action that you

95
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:15,360
prescribed in September. It's now been
10 months since your resolution.

96
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Situation uh that you rightly deemed a
public menace remains and as you heard

97
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,440
from Wendy and Sam last month, it
actually continues to worsen.

98
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:30,399
Um, I see nothing in your resolution
from September that says the village

99
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:36,000
will only act if it can be guaranteed to
recover the cost. The fact that a lean

100
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,279
cannot be placed does not negate the
situation, nor does it resend your

101
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:44,880
resolution.
Um, please on behalf of Tuscosa,

102
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:50,399
Schulty, Green Valley, and Guadalupe
Trail neighbors and all those who travel

103
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:54,959
and recreate on the rice lateral, please
act on your resolution. Thank you.

104
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,320
» Thank you.
>> Thank you, Ms. Teresa Rael.

105
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Theresa Rael 105 L A Alahhamra Circle.
Mayor, trustees, residents,

106
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:20,079
um I would like you to consider placing
a crosswalk across Rio Grand at Elport

107
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:25,440
Hall.
A lot of pedestrians and bicyclists

108
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:31,120
cross this area to get to the park or to
go west to the sec.

109
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:36,160
And Saturdays people are crossing to get
to the growers market and the art

110
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:41,920
market. Um
my 98-year-old mother lives on the west

111
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:47,519
side and she walks the park every day
when she can cross real grand because

112
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:53,440
people just won't stop for pedestrians
or bicyclists. and I have stood there

113
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:59,839
trying to get across also. Um, and it's
not just for me or her. There's a lot of

114
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:05,760
people that use that area to cross. Um,
so consider a crosswalk with signage.

115
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:10,959
And, um, on another note, I'd like to
say thank you for the botchi ball court

116
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:15,920
at Hartnet Park. A group of us play
every Sunday at 8 o'clock. So, if you're

117
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:20,079
going to play, pick another time. Thank
you.

118
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Thank you, mayor and trustees. That
concludes public comment.

119
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,880
» Okay, very good. Um, we'll now move to
item six, uh, approval of the minutes.

120
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:36,079
We need a motion to approve the minutes
of June 24th, 2025.

121
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:40,399
Do we have a motion?
>> I'll make a motion to approve.

122
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,519
» It's been moved. Do we have a second?
>> I'll second it.

123
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:50,959
» Moved and second. Um any corrections or
any additions to the minutes?

124
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,920
See none. All those in favor signify by
saying I.

125
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:57,519
» I.
>> I. All opposed. Same sign. Move forward.

126
00:11:55,839 --> 00:12:05,079
Thank you very much. We'll now move to
item number seven, new business.

127
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,079
Resolution number 2025-07-01.

128
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:15,120
a resolution approving the 2024 final
quarter fiscal report year ending June

129
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:21,040
30th, 2025.
We'll go to um our CFO, Tammy Sil.

130
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:27,040
» Good evening. Thank you, Mayor. Uh
mayor, trustees, before you is

131
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:32,800
resolution 2025-07-01
for the fiscal year 2025 final quarter

132
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:38,800
financial report. This is a report that
is due to the state um through LGBMS and

133
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:42,880
it is a requirement for the state. What
what you're seeing here is the same

134
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:48,800
thing we present every year. It's just a
roll up in a summary of all of our funds

135
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:53,680
and um in the column number eight, cash
plus investments. The bottom number can

136
00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:57,000
be tied to the cash report balance on
page 72.

137
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:04,720
» Okay. Any qu uh do we need a a motion to
approve the resolution?

138
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,120
» I'll make a motion to approve resolution
number 2025-07-01.

139
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,200
» Do we have a second?
>> I'll second.

140
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:16,079
» Any questions?
>> Just just one quick one.

141
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:22,880
» Trusty.
>> So, uh Tammy, this is this is about the

142
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:27,279
geo bonds. Uh I I know it's been
explained to me, but uh you know it just

143
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:32,000
seems it always I always get confused
and if I get confused I'm thinking the

144
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:38,880
residents probably are are uh confused
as well. So, so, uh, line 401 geo bonds,

145
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:43,680
the beginning cash balance is, you know,
uh, 10,500,

146
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:48,880
revenues, 341K.
Um, so I I I'm assuming the these are

147
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,800
the bonds that we have to pay for like
the the recent purchase of the Anderson

148
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,440
house with the 24 acres. Is that
correct?

149
00:13:53,440 --> 00:14:00,160
» Um, Mayor and Trusty Benvitas, that is
correct. That's one of the bonds. The

150
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:04,560
other bond is the 2007 bond that was for
open space that was refunded in 2021. So

151
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,600
that we have the two and both of them
are for open space.

152
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:13,920
» So how how is it that we have a
beginning balance of 10,500 and the

153
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:18,639
revenues of 341? I mean don't we make
monthly payments on this?

154
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:23,120
» Um no mayor and trustee Benvitas we do
not make a monthly payment. We have two

155
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:27,440
payments a year. Um, in August we pay
our principal and our interest payment.

156
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:33,440
Okay? And then in February we pay an
interest payment. And um this the

157
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:39,120
$10,000 balance that you see starting it
is um interest that was earned off the

158
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:45,839
bond. Um the payments the revenue comes
in from property tax. The $341,000

159
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:51,040
that's property tax revenue. And then um
the transfers that you see are transfers

160
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:56,800
to cover the difference between what
property tax does not cover in the geo

161
00:14:53,839 --> 00:15:00,079
bond. Um and that's how we get to the
total for our expenditures.

162
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,079
» So we're just getting ready for the
August payment.

163
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:10,639
» Um U Mayor and Trusty Benvitas, no this
is for last year's payment, the um the

164
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:16,079
August payment in 2024 and the February
payment in 2025. So this is what was

165
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:20,959
actually paid during fiscal year 2025.
>> Sorry, but but we similarly for the this

166
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,800
new fiscal year, we're getting ready for
the August payment and we would have

167
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,320
money in that account for that. Is that
correct?

168
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,079
» That is correct.
>> Okay. Thank you.

169
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,639
» That's all.
>> Okay. All right. Any other questions? If

170
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,680
not, I'll
>> Oh, I'm sorry.

171
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,079
» Trusty
Renovich, go for

172
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,160
» Why don't you go to Trusty
>> or Trusty Rena?

173
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:46,800
» Sure.
I just had a a comment here and I and I

174
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:51,600
know as part of the listing um there is
a section here on lodgers tax and I know

175
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:56,399
we're not doing it right now but this is
something that I would certainly suggest

176
00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:03,360
that we take a look at more critically
you know in in order to generate income

177
00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:08,480
from we know that there's lodging going
on in in the village um I'm not quite

178
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:13,120
sure what the consequence is going to be
>> the B&Bs Right.

179
00:16:09,839 --> 00:16:19,199
» Yeah. Right. Yeah. With the B&Bs
um so far. And so, but I'd like to make

180
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:24,800
a suggestion though that we really
investigate this in order to in order to

181
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:30,240
have uh some further discussion about
it.

182
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:35,040
» Okay. Any other thoughts?
>> I had the I had the same uh question and

183
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:41,040
I wondered why we even include it as a
line item if we have no lodgers tax.

184
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:45,920
Um, Mayor and Trusty Radnovich, this is
a document provided from the state.

185
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,480
» Got it. Okay. Environmental GRT. We
don't have anything like that, do we?

186
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,680
» No.
>> Didn't think so.

187
00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:54,399
» Okay.
Uh, yeah. Board of members, go ahead,

188
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,360
» Mayor. Sorry.
>> No, I was just going to say

189
00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:02,240
» that was this is this is all just a
prescriptive form. So, they try and

190
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:05,600
capture all the opportunities for every
municipality. So, that's But those are

191
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:09,439
good questions. Yeah, for sure.
>> Okay. Any other questions?

192
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:14,079
If not, all those in favor of the motion
signify by saying I.

193
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:18,880
» I oppose. I'm sorry. This is a
resolution.

194
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,919
» Okay. Uh let's go to our clerk then.
>> Thank you. Trusty Benvitas.

195
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,439
» Yes.
>> Trusty Kefir.

196
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:25,360
» Yes.
>> Trusty Renovich.

197
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:29,039
» Yes.
>> Trusty Rau.

198
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:33,039
» Yes.
>> Motion carries 40.

199
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:37,160
» Very good. Good. Uh, next item is
resolution number 2025-07-02.

200
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:45,080
A resolution approving the budget
adoption for fiscal year 2025/2026.

201
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:51,039
Do we have a motion to Well, first let's
go to Tammy for a presentation and then

202
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:57,400
we'll go through the motion.
>> Uh, thank you, mayor, trustees. Before

203
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,400
you is resolution 2025-07-02.

204
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:06,559
um the resolution to approve the final
budget for fiscal year 2026. Um you do

205
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,440
have a handout in front of you um that
is slightly different that was that from

206
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:16,000
what was in the packet. Um in the
handout I provided you there are in

207
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:22,000
column D which is the increase decrease
column. You will see three squares um

208
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:25,600
that are highlighted yellow. These are
the three changes. There was a

209
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:31,440
calculation error. However, this is only
a variance column. It did not affect any

210
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:36,559
of the actual budget numbers. Um it is
it was just the variance between final

211
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:44,000
budget of fiscal year 25 and the final
budget of fiscal year 26. Um but before

212
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:49,520
you is the final budget um with
consideration of everything we discussed

213
00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:57,280
in last month's meeting. And um with
this budget in front of you on page on

214
00:18:53,120 --> 00:19:03,840
the second to last page, which is the um
ending cash balance for the general

215
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:08,240
fund, we have in excess of $162,000
um that we anticipate for the end of the

216
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:14,080
year. And then on the last page, which
is the cash balance summary, you can see

217
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:21,200
every fund here. And as you can see, we
anticipate in excess of $172,000.

218
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:26,160
um between all the funds if this budget
were to happen exactly as we are

219
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:31,520
forecasting.
>> Okay. Very good. Is are there any other

220
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:34,720
um questions for uh our CFO in this
budget?

221
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:37,840
» I I called her yesterday asked my
question so I'm good. Okay.

222
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,679
» And and I have one or two.
>> All right. Let's just let's get a motion

223
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:46,240
to uh on the floor uh first and then
we'll go to uh discussion. We have a

224
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:50,240
motion to approve this resolution.
I'll make a motion to approve resolution

225
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:54,640
20250702.
>> We have a second.

226
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:59,600
» Okay. It's been moved in a second. Uh
trusty Rena.

227
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:02,720
» I mean, pardon me. I was looking at I
was looking at Frank and uh look and

228
00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:05,919
asking George.
>> We look really similar.

229
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:13,280
» Sorry about that.
>> Um is this also a a form that we get?

230
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:16,240
» Uh Mayor and Trusty Radich? No, this is
a spreadsheet that I have to put

231
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:24,320
together.
>> So, this is a uh just a it's just

232
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:30,799
questions about do we really need some
things. Um

233
00:20:27,679 --> 00:20:36,640
for instance, the uh
the Los Ranchos merchandise which is on

234
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:41,200
the first page 3488
0101.

235
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:45,760
We don't really sell it. The only thing
I I'm guessing it's the merchandise

236
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:50,559
that's in that case right here behind
the behind the

237
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:55,520
» um mayor and trustee Radnovich. No. So,
this line item was created um back with

238
00:20:52,880 --> 00:21:01,280
the Larry Abraham administration. There
was actual merchandise available for

239
00:20:57,679 --> 00:21:06,559
purchase, license plates, um polos with
the logos, different items. Um, back

240
00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:11,440
then there was actually
items available for someone to come in

241
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:16,559
and purchase. That has is no longer the
case. Um, we have a few license plates

242
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,880
left, I believe. And we have had someone
come in on occasion to purchase those.

243
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,799
Um, so that is why that line item is
there if one of those were to sell. But

244
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:29,360
as you can see, there's nothing budgeted
there because we don't actively try to

245
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:35,200
sell any merchandise.
>> So, can we just lose the line?

246
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:39,360
Yeah, we could do that. It's a zero
>> unless we have a an interest in selling

247
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:44,720
merch.
Seems like

248
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:51,600
I don't know why why bother. I guess the
I had the same question about animal

249
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:57,120
licenses and fees. Uh I'm I question how
many people have animals in Los Ranchos

250
00:21:54,240 --> 00:22:02,720
that they don't license because the fees
had up to 80 bucks. So, I wondered if we

251
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,679
even wanted to do that and just rely on
Bernley County. Just a thought. Um,

252
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:15,360
the other one that I thought seemed
pretty low and, you know, maybe it's

253
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,600
something we want to do in the future
more, but the the film permit fees are,

254
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:28,480
you know, $800. It seems like, why
bother? you know, uh I I get if someone

255
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:33,840
came to us, there would be fees there,
but it's it's pretty low. So, I think we

256
00:22:31,679 --> 00:22:37,679
talked about this in a meeting earlier
this year or late last year.

257
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,039
» Um I'm just remembering
>> we raised the fees.

258
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:44,320
» We did. Yeah, we raised.
>> So,

259
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:48,799
» mayor doesn't seem like much,
>> if I may add on that line item. Um, so

260
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,640
one of the reasons that we have this in
revenue is and we only have it at $800

261
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:58,000
is because we don't know what's going to
come through. However, the actuals for

262
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:01,760
this past year was about $12,000. So if
something does come through, you're only

263
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,520
looking at budgeted numbers.
>> So

264
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:09,840
» thank you.
>> And I would just maybe add uh trustee or

265
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:13,600
trustees all told. I think what what uh
Tammy is doing here with this budget is

266
00:23:11,679 --> 00:23:16,880
just including all the line items where
we've had revenues and or we have to

267
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,640
budget. So if someone comes in and does
buy a license plate, they actually know

268
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:26,240
where to put the revenue that that's
generated from that sale. So to your

269
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:30,080
point, Trusty uh Renovich, yeah, getting
rid of it would be fine. that would end

270
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:34,159
up probably in a miscellaneous category
which is not a lot of money but if it's

271
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:38,400
a question of just sort of streamlining
how it presents I mean we can certainly

272
00:23:36,159 --> 00:23:41,919
go back and look at maybe even
condensing some of those aligned items

273
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:46,400
and putting them under a broader
structure but I think it was probably

274
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:51,440
most likely historical in the sense of
how people how the how the villages

275
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:55,600
budgeted before and but anyway
>> it just made me think do we want to

276
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:00,080
promote that
>> sure so that we make more money from it

277
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:04,000
or are there things we can change about
the way we do things at the village that

278
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:10,880
might bring in more money? So,
>> fair enough. Just a thought.

279
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:17,360
» Um, I was also wondering on page 23
there's line 45 uh or it's account 45

280
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:22,760
911
101700

281
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,760
for $59,000.

282
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:32,799
Is is that like um uh Mr. Uh, is it
Brennan or is it someone like him that

283
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:37,840
» mayor and Trusty Renovich? So, yes,
that's a professional services line item

284
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:39,919
for any um planning and zoning contract
professional services that we might

285
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:45,440
have.
>> I see. So, this could have included uh

286
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:52,480
last year when we went through the the
uh um the cluster housing. Uh Yep,

287
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:56,640
» that is correct. Yes. It would be any
work that was done on that

288
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:01,960
» in planning and zoning specifically.
>> Right. Right. Yeah.

289
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960
» Um

290
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:11,200
and then I saw under professional
services under a general administration

291
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:17,840
like 39,000 for professional services
and then contract labor. Is that like

292
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:21,840
help with the aggrae center and things
like that? Um, Mayor and Trusty

293
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,919
Radovich, you said under the 1840
department.

294
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:32,480
» I'm sorry. Yeah, it's uh under 1840 and
one line is uh 45151

295
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:36,080
and the other line is 45 911.
>> Okay. Thank you. Um, mayor and trusty

296
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:41,279
Rnovich. So, these are two different
type of services. The 45155

297
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:47,600
that professional services is going to
be um several different services that

298
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:52,640
are for um more villagewide items. So if
we need transcription services or um any

299
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:58,880
professional services we're contracting
out that's villagewide as a whole. Um

300
00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:03,600
the 45911 that is more towards um
contractors such as um like Maria.

301
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,880
» I see. I see. Got it.
>> So

302
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,240
okay.
>> And that's it.

303
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:15,600
» That's it. Any other questions from any
of the other trustees?

304
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:19,600
» Yep. All right. Uh we have a motion and
a second. Um, we'll go to the clerk to

305
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,240
call the role.
>> Thank you, mayor. Trusty Benvdas,

306
00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:23,600
» yes.
>> Trusty Kefir,

307
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:25,360
» yes.
>> Trusty Ranovich,

308
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:27,039
» yes.
>> Trusty right now.

309
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:32,080
» Yes.
>> Motion carries. Four in favor.

310
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:36,120
» Very good. We'll now move to item C. Uh,
resolution number 202507-03.

311
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,679
A resolution stating the participation
in local government road fund program

312
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:46,480
administered by the New Mexico
Department of Transportation. Uh, do we

313
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:51,840
have a motion to approve?
>> Yes. Uh, motion to approve resolution

314
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:54,000
number 2025-07-03.
>> Do we have a second?

315
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,039
» A second.
>> Very good. We'll go to Miss Reynold for

316
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,720
presentation.
>> Mayor, board of trustees, I need a point

317
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:06,240
of clarification from Madame Clerk,
please. I just have the um the

318
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:13,039
resolutions I wrote and I have the
agenda. Can you tell me is C maps or is

319
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:19,640
it co-op? Can you tell me which is it? C
is maps.

320
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:19,640
» So C is L300393.

321
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,159
» Is that correct?

322
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,679
» What was the number?
>> 367859

323
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:36,640
was the total project um cost and I
believe that's okay.

324
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:42,960
» That is co-op and the one for 1 million
is is D. So I had that is D. Okay. Got

325
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,279
it.
>> So, maps first, co-op second.

326
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,799
» Opposite.
>> Opposite.

327
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:53,200
» Okay. I don't know. She's nodding at me
differently. So,

328
00:27:51,679 --> 00:28:00,640
» great, great, great, great. So, the
first one is control number is control

329
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:06,120
number 300 391.
Correct. And a total project cost of

330
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:06,120
367,859.

331
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:13,679
» No, this is this is the opposite. This
is the control number on this is 300

332
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,799
» 393
>> 393.

333
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:19,440
» Okay. 393.
>> Danielle, you were correct.

334
00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:25,039
» 1.2 million.
>> Okay. So, the first the first resolution

335
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:30,000
in front of you is for a new program
that administrator John Ailan Keen

336
00:28:28,159 --> 00:28:35,760
submitted an application for for
pavement rehabilitation on Rio Grande

337
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:39,880
Boulevard. And that project is if for a
total project cost of 1,240,451

338
00:28:40,399 --> 00:28:47,799
the required share for the public entity
for the village of Los Ranchos is

339
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,799
$310,113.

340
00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:55,520
This cooperative agreement terminates on
June 30th, 2027.

341
00:28:53,120 --> 00:29:03,200
And even though it was submitted for a
specific dis um asphalt rehabilitation

342
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:08,720
repaving project, the scope of the
agreement allows for planning, design,

343
00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:12,080
construction, reconstruction, pavement
rehabilitation, construction management,

344
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:16,159
drainage, and miscellaneous
improvements.

345
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:21,360
So, this resolution
is asking for approval for the mayor's

346
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:27,120
signature to enter into the cooperative
agreement in that amount for that term

347
00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:30,640
and for that scope.
>> Thank you very much. Do we have any

348
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:36,320
questions?
>> Uh, Trustee Kever.

349
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:41,360
» Thank you, Maria. Um, question for you.
The 2027 date, does that mean that's

350
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,760
when all of the funds need to be
expensed by?

351
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,080
um
>> spent twice

352
00:29:44,799 --> 00:29:53,120
» mayor madam it is that the project needs
to be closed out all exhibits full

353
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:58,559
reimbursement request acceptance of the
project and file ready for audit so the

354
00:29:56,159 --> 00:30:05,600
funds generally have to be expended a
good 30 to 45 days prior to that date

355
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:11,600
» okay and miscellaneous
um improvements can that also include

356
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:15,840
speed mitigation efforts
>> mayor Madame trustee, it absolutely can.

357
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:20,960
Miscellaneous is anything that is not
included that is specific here. It can

358
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:26,240
be signage, it can be traffic analysis,
it can be signalization, it can be any

359
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:31,440
number of things. Yes. Anything that um
is inherent into an accepted design that

360
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,880
is not specifically stated in that
scope.

361
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:39,039
» Perfect. That's all I have. Thank you.
>> Okay. Any other questions?

362
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:45,279
» I have some. Uh Trusty Ranovich.
>> Thanks, Mayor. Um,

363
00:30:42,159 --> 00:30:51,919
I appreciate that, you know, Maria and
yourself are are good at getting money

364
00:30:47,760 --> 00:31:01,679
from DOT. Um I don't really see I mean
other than the the uh

365
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:06,080
traffic that we get there what uh what
repaving

366
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:14,080
um other than if there are interventions
about um uh slowing people down and so

367
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:18,960
forth there there needs to be and so
could you explain more I mean it's a

368
00:31:16,399 --> 00:31:24,399
relatively new asphalt
cover that we have there. There's not

369
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:31,200
many problems with it. So, if you could
explain a little bit about what um what

370
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:36,080
you have in mind. Uh Rio Grands
Boulevard is a really important road for

371
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:42,159
the village. Um I think it's iconic in
the state and maybe the region because

372
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:49,760
of what it represents. Uh even the
buffalo curve um represents agricultural

373
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:59,519
lines that were drawn many decades if
not centuries ago um by farmers. So, um

374
00:31:54,799 --> 00:32:09,600
I'm I'm really worried uh that having uh
DOT touch uh parts of a boulevard that

375
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:13,600
are so iconic uh with um uh with um
interventions that may not be

376
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:18,080
appropriate from a cultural and historic
perspective.

377
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:22,399
uh how that should uh be handled and
what you actually have in mind.

378
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:27,919
» Mayor Trusty Radnovich, this is for
pavement rehabilitation. This money is

379
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:32,559
for it was submitted as a pavement
rehabilitation project. This is a

380
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:38,320
repaving project and nothing more.
>> I thought you maybe I'm confused. I

381
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:44,640
thought uh that uh Trusty Kefir just
asked if they could include um

382
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:48,720
interventions like uh traffic calming.
>> Mayor Trustee Renovich, what she asked

383
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:53,600
was if the scope when it says
miscellaneous, what does that mean? But

384
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:58,559
what was submitted by the village per
application was for a rehabilitation

385
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:04,279
that's been on the board for repaving
for at least 10 years. Mr. administrator

386
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:23,440
» trusty rat board. Um it has been on I
can say 10 years. It has been on there

387
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:27,840
for a at least the um
the five years. Um and I wasn't here

388
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:33,200
those years but it's been something
that's uh been on the street. um program

389
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:39,120
which is looking at all the streets and
which ones are going to come up next. It

390
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:42,799
had previously had design work for
rehabilitation. That's one of the

391
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:47,519
reasons we were able to um put it
through because we had that design work

392
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:51,600
as far as getting the uh you know what's
it going to cost the estimates.

393
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:55,360
» That was the 700,000 that the mayor
mentioned a month or two ago.

394
00:33:54,799 --> 00:34:00,640
» Is that right?
>> I I'm not sure. It may may be u part of

395
00:33:59,679 --> 00:34:04,640
that
>> but here's I mean the road is

396
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:08,639
alligatored
usually alligated and that's when it

397
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:14,800
starts coming up in chunks. It's
crisscrossed by um you know it being

398
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:20,639
broken up. So it does have some of that
going on. Uh that is a place we're

399
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:27,119
having to pothole replace on regular
basis. Um, and it's uh, you know, it's

400
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:32,720
ready for rehabilitation and those
usually last about 20 years if you don't

401
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:38,320
do any remediation like crack seal and
that sort of stuff. Um, so that's about

402
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:44,000
what you get on a on a on a busy street
and it's our one of our busier streets.

403
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:50,639
» So to ask again, do you have in mind to
do interventions like uh trafficcoming

404
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:54,960
circles and things like that? Mayor,
Trusty Radnovich, this is just for

405
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:58,320
pavement rehab. That's what this
agreement is for. That's what DOT

406
00:34:56,879 --> 00:35:02,960
awarded the money for.
>> So the miscellaneous that Trusty Kefir

407
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:07,920
asked about is not part of it.
>> That is just part of the language and

408
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:14,960
the scope that they gave us that covers
what it is we applied for money for but

409
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:21,599
could also include. This is only enough
money to do the pavement rehabilitation.

410
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:26,880
So then what is your intention for the
uh engineering work on the road just

411
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:32,720
rehabilitation or not?
>> What is before you? This is just the

412
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:37,440
profile has already been set. The
estimate has already been made. This is

413
00:35:35,359 --> 00:35:43,440
we have a guarantee of a 20-year life
cycle on this asphalt. So it will be bid

414
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:48,480
as a repavement. There's no engineering
on this on this project. So this is just

415
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:55,359
going construction company.
>> Yes. A company that does um it will be

416
00:35:53,119 --> 00:36:01,839
determined through potholeing whether or
not it'll be a mill and overlay if it

417
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:06,800
will be a full depth reclamation
whatever it is we have money for that

418
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:13,200
gives us the best outcome for a final
pavement product. So then if we come

419
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:19,119
back later
with another proposals, one of which I

420
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:29,839
think was in our ICIP
to do a roundabout at uh Ortega or

421
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:35,040
traffic circle at Rio Grand and Chavez
or

422
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:42,000
something else at the Buffalo curve. um
that would be done after a repaving

423
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:48,320
project. So we'd basically cut into that
repaving project to do uh other

424
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:52,960
interventions that are trafficcoming.
>> Mayor Trusty Radnovich, this is not the

425
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:57,200
entirety of Rio Grande Boulevard. As you
know, it's a million dollars a mile to

426
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:01,839
repave. This is sections that were
identified as having reflective

427
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:07,680
cracking, alligatoring, buckling,
potholeing, those types of things. This

428
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:12,720
is sections of and I'm the administrator
could better describe those sections. I

429
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,400
know that there's a section north of
Montano.

430
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,560
This I don't believe this touches the
Buffalo curve. John, if you would

431
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:24,640
please.
>> Could you give us a idea of what the

432
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:31,280
» the termini on that are Montano or the
edge of village in real grand to Chavis.

433
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:37,599
That's what we put it. Now we come up,
you know, let's just say something's

434
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:42,160
there that we can't u um forecast. U we
might come up short of Chavis, you know,

435
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:46,960
it might be back or we might come up
with more money to take care of it. So

436
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:49,920
if we have some unknown cost, which is
doubtful because it's pretty simple.

437
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,359
We're just going to pull it up, lay it
back out. Um but we do need some design

438
00:37:52,400 --> 00:38:00,560
work inside.
don't uh leave that. Um, as far as just

439
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:04,640
making sure that we are cleared on the
bugs and buns, uh, you know, all the all

440
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:07,920
the
all the environmental stuff that you

441
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,160
would have on the edge of road and so
forth, we need to make sure that those

442
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:17,440
are taken care of. So, um, it's not just
construction. It's not just pulling it

443
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:22,240
up and laying it back down. So mayor um
trustee John if I may. So what happens

444
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:29,280
next is once the mayor enters into this
agreement we go back to the quotas by

445
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:37,520
which we the quotas those who quoted the
work to be had. We ask them for a

446
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:42,240
updated bid quote on this work and
depending on how that comes in we make a

447
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:47,119
determination on what the final scope
will be.

448
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:51,599
Okay. So, this is the we had a quote.
This that's what we used in the

449
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:57,119
application format. It's awarded. Now,
NMDOT wants to make sure the quote is

450
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:00,880
still good, sufficient, and held by the
quoter.

451
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:08,119
» And who is the quoter that we picked?
>> Albuquerque Asphalt, I believe. Is it?

452
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,119
Who was it that you submitted, John?

453
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,440
Maybe we should get a quote on a new
microphone.

454
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:26,880
» Yeah, I believe it was Albuquerque
asphalt is the quote, but it's going to

455
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:30,480
be it's going to be reassignment to a a
contractor. Doesn't necessarily mean

456
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:34,800
it's that contractor. So, procurement
didn't happen with that particular

457
00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:41,839
quote. What happened was here's the
estimate on what construction takes.

458
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:48,560
So, we could get any paving contractor
that's on the NMD DOT list.

459
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:52,640
» Doesn't have to be on NMDOT list. It's
>> anywhere.

460
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:59,440
» It's any qualified contractor. So, yeah,
there's some that might not pass uh um

461
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:04,079
you know, checking um you know, their
qualifications or history or whatever.

462
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:09,839
Uh but uh it is not one particular they
did not uh they did not get an RFP

463
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:13,760
awarded. this is an estimate. Uh we can
go back to these folks that have given

464
00:40:11,359 --> 00:40:19,040
us estimate and say you know are those
prices still good say oh no you know

465
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:22,640
labor's gone up or you know asphalt or
whatever they can tell us you're going

466
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:28,320
to be shy on your project either by
dollars or by feet. So that's what we've

467
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:35,599
had to deal with and you just what is it
called? Value engineer at that point,

468
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:42,640
» right? I know all those terms. Um
so it's possible we could get

469
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:47,040
I'll uh not name names, but there are
some asphalt contractors out there that

470
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,320
» so may I
>> may not want working on our on our Rio

471
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,400
Grand Boulevard.
>> That's why we we go through an RFP

472
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:58,960
process or selection process. So the way
that it works in the Matten Municipal

473
00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:04,720
Artillery program is they will accept
the quote that we submitted if they will

474
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:10,000
hold the price. Now that's determined by
our procurement officer and to see if

475
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:14,960
that works with the internal form of
procurement that we use. Her

476
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:21,440
determination may be that this is a for
bid project. If that is the case, we

477
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:24,880
will do a formal bid on this project. I
would assume it's probably going to be

478
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:30,160
that at this amount of money. That's not
a that's that would be an internal

479
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:36,880
requirement. Okay. We are a low bid
state. We do not have disqualifications

480
00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:42,720
for like you. I wish sometimes we did
for contractors, but they have to be

481
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:47,920
able to meet the bonding requirement,
the licensing requirement. They have to

482
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:52,160
have a they have to be able to work
through the wage rate requirements. They

483
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:56,000
have all of that. They have to meet
those requirements, whomever it may be.

484
00:41:54,079 --> 00:42:00,240
We're not at that point yet. At this
point, we're asking for the authority of

485
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:06,319
the board of trustees to have the mayor
sign the agreement so that we can

486
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:12,560
proceed. And then um we do internally we
do the um environmental and the cultural

487
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:19,200
review. We do all that internally. So
that's not part of this funding. That's

488
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:22,079
not part of it. This is literally
pavement recap.

489
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:29,280
» So,
are you going to bring before us um the

490
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:34,319
other parts of Rio Grand Boulevard? What
uh um I mean

491
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:41,920
we already have the plans for a
contractor to bid this part, right?

492
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:46,000
» I understand that we have a profile, a
paving profile. Yes. So, they'll

493
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:51,280
» So, they'll bid on the profile. They'll
bid on the profile

494
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:54,640
» and they will be watched over by
>> Well, there'll be inspectors.

495
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,200
» There'll be inspectors for the village.
>> Yes.

496
00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:02,160
» That will be engineers.
>> Not that. Not necessarily.

497
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:05,839
» Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah. Terrible.
>> I'm not Well, what I'm trying to get at

498
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:10,800
is is there any changes that are going
to be made to the street that could

499
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:16,240
affect it in negative ways?
>> So, good question, Mayor. Um that's why

500
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:22,000
we go through the environmental and the
cultural review to identify any

501
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:27,040
potential negative impacts on existing
environmental content in the area so

502
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:32,720
that we don't we don't create uh
spoilings in a wetlands for example or

503
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:36,720
we don't shake a historic building
foundation. We go through all of we do

504
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:41,200
that on the crack seal and repaving. We
do it on the co-op that happens

505
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:45,839
regardless of what the project is. So
yes, that we have to make sure that

506
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:49,040
there is no mitigation of negative
potential consequences that we're

507
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:55,680
responsible for.
>> And if and if they come up with

508
00:43:51,200 --> 00:44:00,079
something that changes the street,
>> will that come before us?

509
00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:04,640
» So mayor,
we don't anticipate that. This is an

510
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:09,599
existing rightway. It's not it's it is
literally within the existing profile of

511
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:14,000
the road. Think of this as just a much
larger version of all the paving

512
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:20,640
projects we're doing now. It is
literally that same process.

513
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:25,040
» Uh if I might uh trust Renovich, you and
I shared a conversation about this. It

514
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:28,880
might be more maybe more practical for
us just to what would you like to see

515
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:33,599
happen? Because I I think what what you
and I have shared is that look and I

516
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:37,440
don't disagree with you and I think 90%
of the residents won't disagree with

517
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:42,160
you. It is a historical road. It is an
important uh uh amenity for our

518
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:48,720
community.
This uh grant in particular is state

519
00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:52,960
money to help us repave that road. What
you I think and I have talked about

520
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:58,160
informally has been looking at
opportunities to ensure that that road

521
00:44:55,359 --> 00:45:02,720
historical significance is is honored.
>> Yes. and that when we have opportunities

522
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:07,760
to make modifications to the road,
whether they're uh road diets or whether

523
00:45:05,839 --> 00:45:14,160
they're roundabouts or or what other
mitigation measures that we can do that

524
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:18,560
and uh and and make sure that we aren't
giving ourselves or putting ourselves in

525
00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:23,920
a situation where we can't make that
happen. In this case, this is just all

526
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:28,640
about just basically resealing the or
repaving the existing road and existing

527
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:32,880
rightway. I do think that that
conversation that you and I have had

528
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:36,880
informally is the next step that we
ought to talk about at a future meeting

529
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,640
because keep in mind by the time you get
all the paperwork in place. I'm assuming

530
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:46,560
this is going to take like a lot of
other DOT projects probably five to six

531
00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:51,839
months to get going and we've got to go
through a bid process. Um, we do have,

532
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:56,560
just for purposes of the community's
understanding, in order to apply for

533
00:45:53,920 --> 00:46:00,800
these funds, we've had to have a quote
based from a certified contractor that

534
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:04,880
we can determine why we're asking for
the amount of money that we're asking

535
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:10,720
for this project. So, this quote that we
have, although it's some it's dated, it

536
00:46:08,319 --> 00:46:15,680
was enough uh it was close enough to
give the DOT comfort that based on what

537
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:20,960
they've seen so far that it's reasonable
for the for the mile that we're talking

538
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:25,680
about. But within that mile, there are
some important items for us to look at.

539
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:28,800
And I would again uh commit to you and
to the and to the village and to the

540
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:34,400
trustees, look, as we get to those
areas, uh we will have that conversation

541
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:39,599
to figure out. And now that we have some
designers and architects, etc. on our if

542
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:43,520
you will on our list of opportunities to
hire. I think we should be looking at

543
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:48,000
some of those which goes back to the
conversation we had what was it two

544
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:52,480
weeks ago or so with the ICIP looking to
get some state funds potentially for

545
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:57,040
some design work and maybe dovetailing
those into this project in in a way that

546
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:01,760
would make sense to to ensure that we're
we're not just uh that we're not giving

547
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:05,119
this an opportunity to be a better road
than it is today.

548
00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:08,079
» Awesome. That's really I think that's
really where you're

549
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:14,200
» Yeah, you answered my questions well.
And uh Trusty Veneovas, it has nothing

550
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:14,200
to do with engineers.

551
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:19,920
» Although they all
>> Thank you, Maria. Thank you, mayor.

552
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:22,560
» Thank you. Thank you, Trusty Randomage.
I

553
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:30,560
» I just have one one further question.
>> And what I was um looking at though is

554
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:35,839
the term of this is the is June of 27.
Um, given the fact that we have to go

555
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:39,760
out for bid, given the fact that the
state's going to take their time in

556
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,359
terms of approval, what's the likelihood
of us being able to meet that June 27

557
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:48,960
deadline?
>> Mayor, um, Trusty Renovich, once we have

558
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:52,960
our environmental and cultural, sorry,
right now,

559
00:47:50,960 --> 00:48:00,079
» I know I'm always asking questions.
>> Um, uh, it will be well within that. It

560
00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:06,160
is a repave project. the they are really
good at um local road fund

561
00:48:03,359 --> 00:48:10,640
administration. They turn things around
very quickly. Not so much on some of

562
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:15,920
their other programs, but on maps and
co-op, they certainly do. I have full

563
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:21,680
confidence that that this will be just
fine. The longest thing will take be the

564
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:26,559
cultural and environmental review and
that takes about

565
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:31,920
three and a half months and we can start
that as soon as we have an executed

566
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:38,880
agreement back from N DOT.
>> So then the the other question and mayor

567
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:44,319
you may know this. I mean uh right now
it's 1.2 mil. If we come back if they

568
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:51,520
come back with a statement that said
it's 1.4 four bill that can put us back.

569
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:57,200
» I would sus I would um defer to to
Maria's expertise, but it's been my my

570
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:01,599
real experience. Um you only get as far
as the money carrier takes you. So it

571
00:48:59,359 --> 00:49:06,400
may be we end up uh halfway between the
Buffalo curve and and and the you know

572
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:11,599
and and you know and some other place.
But um yeah, we'll have to see what that

573
00:49:09,359 --> 00:49:17,280
looks like. I would also say, look, the
DOT is is is usually pretty good about

574
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:22,800
if we're that close to what the termini
was of augmenting the the the the

575
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:28,000
contracts. And look, it is it's it this
this straddles basically two fiscal

576
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:31,200
years for us budgetarywise. So, so
there's also an opportunity for us. So,

577
00:49:29,839 --> 00:49:36,880
it's it's going to take a little bit of
time, but I I do want to make sure that

578
00:49:33,839 --> 00:49:41,520
again um I think you know the idea of
ensuring that we're doing this in a you

579
00:49:39,359 --> 00:49:46,480
know um sensitive way to what to what
this facility is for us and actually

580
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:52,240
even for the state is is important. So,
ju just one last thing there. Um what I

581
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:57,920
was getting at before uh with one of my
statements was just you often see a road

582
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:04,960
get built
and then two months later somebody comes

583
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:09,359
in and cuts it for whatever. So just
trying to avoid that too.

584
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:14,319
» Absolutely. And this is why these u
these uh companies that are coming in to

585
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:18,559
want to bring in fiber etc. It's so
important that we have a, you know, a

586
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:21,200
structure and and of course if they're
coming in now and they cut it down, we

587
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,960
come back and reseal it, then we'll be
in good shape. But what really is

588
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,000
important, we can't predict when when
someone's going to sell a piece of

589
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:32,240
property and all of a sudden they're on
the opposite side of where the water and

590
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:35,119
sewer lines are and um and they cut
across.

591
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:37,040
» Oh, sure. But but if if we decide,
right,

592
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:40,480
» a roundabout should be built somewhere
later, then it's looks like what are

593
00:50:39,599 --> 00:50:45,839
these guys doing?
>> Yeah, exactly. Well, um, anyway, all of

594
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,640
that being said, um, are we all good on
this?

595
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,319
» Yeah,
>> I'm good.

596
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:53,200
» We have a motion.
>> We have a motion on the table. Um, we'll

597
00:50:50,559 --> 00:50:56,480
go to clerk for the role.
>> Thank you, mayor.

598
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,000
Trusty Benvitas,
>> yes.

599
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,440
» Trusty Kefir,
>> yes.

600
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,040
» Trusty Ratovich,
>> yes.

601
00:50:59,839 --> 00:51:04,400
» Trusty Row,
>> yes.

602
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:10,520
» Four in favor.
>> Very good. Thank you very much. Now we

603
00:51:06,319 --> 00:51:10,520
go to resolution number 2025-07-04.

604
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:17,599
A resolution stating the participation
in the local government road fund

605
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:22,800
program administered by the New Mexico
Department of Transportation. Do we have

606
00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:29,200
a motion to approve?
>> I'll make a motion to approve 2020704.

607
00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:32,319
» We have a second.
>> Second.

608
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:36,960
» Second. Thank you very much. We'll now
go to Miss Reynoldi to uh present the

609
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:40,559
resolution.
>> Mayor, trustees, this is a program

610
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:46,079
you're very familiar with. This is our
sixth allocation of cooperative funds

611
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:50,680
for crack seal and repavement. And um
the department has awarded us 275,894

612
00:51:50,880 --> 00:52:01,839
with a public entity share of 91,965
for a total project cost of 367,859.

613
00:51:59,119 --> 00:52:09,040
The terms of this agreement
um expires December 31st, 2026

614
00:52:05,839 --> 00:52:13,599
and it is again they give us a scope
that includes a whole lot of things but

615
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:18,079
this is crack seal and repavement on
various roads. Now we will take the

616
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:24,160
amount of our award because it is less
than we requested and we will go back to

617
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:27,680
those crack seal companies and asphalt
companies who gave us quotes and see if

618
00:52:26,079 --> 00:52:32,800
those quotes are still good and adjust
accordingly. In addition to that, we

619
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:40,720
have committed in this agreement to a
25% share. We budgeted in excess of 25%

620
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:45,440
yet to be determined in the final
allocation

621
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:52,400
um and may have a bar adding money to
this for a higher match to cover what

622
00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:56,480
was requested and not funded. You will
see that. But at this point in time, it

623
00:52:54,720 --> 00:53:01,760
is for a total project cost in this
amount that will give us crack seal and

624
00:52:59,119 --> 00:53:07,040
I believe payment of one section of a
roadway yet to be determined. We have we

625
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:11,200
have the list of streets off the ICIP
for roadway improvements and staff will

626
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:17,440
work through that and you will have a
road list as soon as we have that.

627
00:53:14,319 --> 00:53:20,480
» Okay. Any questions on this?
>> None.

628
00:53:18,319 --> 00:53:23,599
» All right. No questions. Uh we'll go to
the clerk for the road.

629
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,200
» Thank you, Mayor. Trusty Benvdas.
>> Yes.

630
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:26,800
» Trusty Kefir.
>> Yes.

631
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:28,480
» Trusty Ranovich.
>> Yes.

632
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,040
» Trusty Rau.
>> Yes.

633
00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:35,520
» Four in favor.
>> Very good. We'll now go to approval of a

634
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:39,599
lease
by and between the village of Los Rontos

635
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:45,599
de Albuquerque and the state of New
Mexico legislative council.

636
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:50,319
Do we have uh we'll go to it to Mr. Aila
to explain this lease so that you all uh

637
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:57,440
and then we'll move to the motion.
>> Mr. mayor and board. Um

638
00:53:53,760 --> 00:54:03,440
we have uh made room for the legislative
council offices

639
00:53:59,359 --> 00:54:10,160
um here in this building and uh the
program at the estate uh has funding now

640
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:16,000
to uh enter into leases uh starting this
fiscal year. So that's u you know we're

641
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:24,319
we're in that month right now. Um, the
lease here is for

642
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:30,800
uh $1,500 per month and that's above
what the market uh is in Albuquerque at

643
00:54:27,359 --> 00:54:36,640
least, which is about $15 to $25 per
square foot and you're looking about $45

644
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:41,200
per square foot on this. So, uh, as far
as that goes, it's, uh, beneficial, but

645
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:46,400
we started off with it being beneficial
for the community, uh, so that they get

646
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:53,599
to, um, visit with their legislature
legislators and, um, also, uh, that

647
00:54:51,040 --> 00:55:00,960
those legislators can, uh, have, uh,
meetings, uh, here in the building close

648
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:04,880
by, and we also have access to them.
So with that, do we have a motion to

649
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:08,640
approve the lease?
>> I'll motion to approve the lease.

650
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:11,280
» It's been moved. Do we have a second?
>> Second.

651
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:14,559
» Any other questions?
>> I do have a question or two.

652
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,400
» I have none.
>> Uh trusty ran up.

653
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:21,520
» So
>> I mean, excuse me. Pardon me.

654
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:26,480
» Should we switch seats?
>> You know, all the Rs are on this item.

655
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:32,640
Can I say Ratage Rout? So anyway, sorry,
George. Go. That's okay. Um, it says

656
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:37,040
it's adjacent to the fire station. Are
we talking about the fire station that

657
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:40,960
used to be here or the fire station over
on Fourth Street?

658
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:47,280
» Um,
board members, Mr. Mayor, uh, we have a

659
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:52,720
fire station here. It's, um, a
substation.

660
00:55:48,880 --> 00:56:00,000
We house a vehicle. We get fire funds.
Uh, so it's uh right next to that u in

661
00:55:56,799 --> 00:56:01,760
the um souththeast corner
>> of this building

662
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,240
» of this building.
>> Got it.

663
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:07,240
» Thank you.
>> Um

664
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,640
okay

665
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:23,359
letting Oh, so so um that's a big room.
Are we leasing to just one or two

666
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:26,880
legislators? There are two legislators
and staff and

667
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:30,160
» and their staff. I see. Got it.
>> Got it. Once I saw the space, it looked

668
00:56:28,799 --> 00:56:31,839
pretty big. Okay. I have no other
questions. Thank you.

669
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:37,920
» All right.
>> All right. Any other

670
00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:41,119
questions by anyone? Um all uh in favor
of the motion to approve the lease

671
00:56:39,359 --> 00:56:44,160
signify by saying I.
>> I.

672
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:47,920
» Oppose. Same sign.
>> Motion carries.

673
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:53,839
» Very good. Thank you very much. And now
we'll move on to item number eight.

674
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:57,440
uh chief financial officer report and
administrator's report. So we'll go to

675
00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:02,799
Tammy. Tammy,
>> thank you. Mayor, mayor trustees before

676
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:10,680
you is the cash report for the year end,
excuse me, for the month June 30, 2025.

677
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,680
Our ending cash balance is $14,37,44983.

678
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:17,559
This is a decrease from last month of
$97,190.88.

679
00:57:18,319 --> 00:57:26,599
Um, however, the year-to- date excess of
revenue over expenditure that we are

680
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,599
ending with is 1,879,1212.

681
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:35,839
And um, with the close out of the end of
the year, there were several unusual or

682
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:40,400
significant items. Um, just trying to
wrap up and get as many invoices paid by

683
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:47,359
year end as possible so they didn't
bleed into the new fiscar budget. And we

684
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:53,280
also made the three transfers um that we
had budgeted for at the beginning of the

685
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:57,520
year. We made them um in June and you
can see those as the first item on that

686
00:57:55,119 --> 00:58:02,960
page. And if I have I stand for any
questions.

687
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:07,359
» Any questions of uh Miss Sila?
>> Just just a comment. I mean it's

688
00:58:04,799 --> 00:58:13,119
interesting to see our GRT climbing
upwards and which is good news for us.

689
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:17,599
It is indeed.
Any other questions? All right. Thank

690
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:23,200
you very much, uh, Miss Silva. Now,
we'll go up to Mr. Aila for departmental

691
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:29,200
updates.
>> Excuse me. Um, oh,

692
00:58:26,799 --> 00:58:33,040
» I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was still
looking.

693
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:40,480
» I just had one question. Um, I've been
worried about FEMA since January and um,

694
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:46,079
even more so today than them. And I
noticed we have a FEMA fund and it

695
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:54,640
worries me that FEMA might be going
away. And so I wondered about that if we

696
00:58:50,079 --> 00:59:02,000
should put that into some other kind of
vehicle or save it aside for some other

697
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:07,680
use because we may not have a FEMA soon.
U Mayor Trusty Radnovich. So that those

698
00:59:05,359 --> 00:59:14,000
FEMA funds we cannot move to anything
else. They are specific uh federal

699
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:18,480
funds. However, um the we are planning
to completely close that out and have

700
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:24,400
those funds expended by September.
>> So we should be okay with that.

701
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:28,839
» Oh, okay. Okay. Great. Thank you.
>> All right. Go back to Mr. Abila.

702
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:41,839
Mayor, board of trustees. Um, starting
out the report, uh, we have recently

703
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:50,000
been able to move, uh, our fourth street
project office, uh, to what's known as

704
00:59:45,839 --> 00:59:57,280
historically lango building. Um, and
that, uh, is approximately 20,000 a

705
00:59:53,119 --> 01:00:03,280
year, uh, savings over leasing. Um, and
this was done by being able to uh

706
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:07,520
mitigate that property. Um, basically
bring into

707
01:00:05,119 --> 01:00:13,040
uh status where it can be used as an
office. Uh, and there's several steps in

708
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:19,680
that. Um we have other buildings there
as well that we want to make sure are

709
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:24,720
are not lost uh wasted um if um they
just fell apart so we can mitigate those

710
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:28,559
and um bring them to some use while
we're um working on the open space out

711
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:38,640
there. Some of the things we've done in
the open space is to um take care of um

712
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:44,640
irrigation that um we needed to have and
water resource that we also needed to

713
01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:51,520
have for fire uh safety while um we're
able to put in um a sewer system. So the

714
01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:59,280
fire department had to review our water
um source that we had enough water for

715
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:02,799
the expected bathrooms just to connect
to a sewer. So that's just the

716
01:01:01,119 --> 01:01:08,799
difficulties that we've had in doing
that. But by doing that, uh we'll have

717
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:15,760
the ability to modernize the and get
bathrooms out there. Um, and then we've

718
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:21,520
also uh drilled an experimental or a
test well, not experimental well, a test

719
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:25,680
well because we had to reassign some
groundwater

720
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:31,440
rights to a different property so that
we could assign the purchased water

721
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:37,200
rights in its totality to the aggrae
center. So, there's a limit. Um, so

722
01:01:34,799 --> 01:01:41,119
that's in the works. Uh, but we did need
a well out there to place those in. Um

723
01:01:39,839 --> 01:01:46,559
so that's some of the work that's gone
out there. open space. There will be um

724
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:53,839
you know uh again improvements to
irrigation. Um and um and then at the

725
01:01:50,799 --> 01:02:00,640
Agra Nature Center, we've recently um
been awarded

726
01:01:55,599 --> 01:02:08,400
um at the um water conservation or um
being able to get um our water um

727
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:14,160
delivery either piped or in concrete or
um sealed delivery. So that's that's

728
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:18,640
coming up. Um and so we just have
started that process. Uh and then

729
01:02:16,799 --> 01:02:24,240
there's an application to start again to
ask for more um you know ask for more

730
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:28,000
grant funding for water rights at the
water trust board level. And so we'll be

731
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:33,040
looking at what we can do there at the
open space. Uh so all of this will be

732
01:02:30,559 --> 01:02:40,160
kind of building on each other so that
we have uh some water uh resilience here

733
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:45,520
for the village properties. Um and we
have been working um to update our code.

734
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:53,760
We've recently had the criminal code
changed so that uh we can deal with

735
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:59,599
camping um on village properties. Um and
we have worked through some other um

736
01:02:56,559 --> 01:03:07,520
changes here and those are those are for
your review. um community facilities.

737
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:14,000
Again, we've u done some improvements at
the Old Village Hall to the scale and uh

738
01:03:12,079 --> 01:03:21,680
the the wishes of the community, which
is to uh save Old Village Hall as a

739
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:25,760
building and give uh amenities there at
the site. So, we've been doing that and

740
01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:30,000
we'll continue doing that uh here with
the new fiscal year and the ability to

741
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:36,880
contract and get uh some work done
there. Um

742
01:03:33,039 --> 01:03:41,520
and uh working through our ICIP process,
we've all experienced that recently. It

743
01:03:39,359 --> 01:03:48,799
takes a while, but it's a again a cycle
that we do all year long. So as um

744
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:55,119
people give their um their interest and
uh priority um and as we develop our

745
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:59,920
projects some of those will change and
we have just done that recently and

746
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:06,000
entered into the system and by the way
taking enter into the system takes about

747
01:04:02,319 --> 01:04:11,520
10 hours. So um we needed to have those
in place so that we could do that. It's

748
01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:19,760
just a lot of entry. Um
let's see uh at the um Agra Nature

749
01:04:15,599 --> 01:04:25,839
Center we have uh the wellness week next
week which is how will um

750
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:31,760
we're participating in the lavender
festival and uh there's uh many

751
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:38,880
attractions there including a um herbal
garden and then they're also having a um

752
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:44,960
a meal um catered uh in the fields.
that people are able to participate in

753
01:04:42,319 --> 01:04:50,000
uh in
in planning zoning and code enforcement.

754
01:04:48,079 --> 01:04:57,599
You'll take a look there. We're starting
to um we want to reduce our um our court

755
01:04:54,880 --> 01:05:03,200
and case load so that you can see that
on a monthly basis. So that you can see

756
01:04:59,839 --> 01:05:08,160
that right as as far as it's a number um
of of the number of uh cases we're

757
01:05:06,079 --> 01:05:12,319
addressing the number of cases that we
have resolved and that usually helps

758
01:05:10,319 --> 01:05:18,000
with a lot of just it's conversation and
followup. So, a good majority of our our

759
01:05:15,119 --> 01:05:22,400
cases are getting um
solved by just working with folks and

760
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,880
not having to go any further.
And um

761
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:31,200
you know, we have before you the rest of
the reports. Um, I know one of the

762
01:05:29,119 --> 01:05:37,839
things that's been very helpful is the
work that uh Fred has done with the

763
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:43,119
homeowners associations and uh um that
basically the neighborhood watch program

764
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:47,119
that's sort of co-mingled there and
that's been really helpful for getting

765
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:50,960
people to communicate uh what the needs
are in their communities and um I'll

766
01:05:49,599 --> 01:05:54,720
leave it at that if there's any
questions.

767
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,799
» Any questions? Mr.
I I have

768
01:05:55,599 --> 01:06:05,280
» Okay, Trusty Benovitz,
>> I have two questions. Uh, one for uh

769
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:08,799
John Oila and one for uh Fred Rodovich.
We So, we have a Rodosovich, we had a

770
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:12,559
Veradovich, and we have a Renal there.
There's really no hope for us, you know.

771
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:15,359
» Yes, indeed.
>> Um, okay.

772
01:06:13,599 --> 01:06:20,240
» Watch it.
>> So,

773
01:06:17,119 --> 01:06:23,599
yeah. So, we're we're putting a a well
at the the Delorn open space, correct?

774
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:29,119
That's correct.
>> And I I think I saw in the budget 77K

775
01:06:26,319 --> 01:06:32,480
for that. Um
it it must be a pretty hefty well. I'm

776
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,559
assuming like do you know do you know
what the casing is and the depth of that

777
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:40,079
is?
>> I I couldn't tell you that. Right. Do we

778
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:44,079
know that it was a really good well u at
a at a good depth?

779
01:06:42,319 --> 01:06:47,839
» Okay. Um
>> we can certainly get you that number.

780
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:53,839
» Yeah. Okay. I can wait for that. But
just curious. Uh and then so my next

781
01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:53,839
question would be for Fred.

782
01:07:00,319 --> 01:07:04,359
Fred's getting his steps in.

783
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:24,880
Uh, let's see, Fred. Yeah. Uh, I think I
Oh, yeah. Okay. It's on page 91. Um

784
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:29,280
uh so I'll just read what what was in
here from your report. It is time again

785
01:07:27,599 --> 01:07:33,839
to begin the process of updating the
mitigation plan a recurring five-year

786
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:40,079
cycle. This time Berno will will take
the lead on applying for funds and if as

787
01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:44,960
a and as a fiscal agent last cycle um
city of Alberie did and we contributed.

788
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:50,160
» Um can you just tell me more about what
this mitigation plan is all about? What

789
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:54,240
it encompasses? Mayor and Trustee. Uh,
that's really not mine. That's Jeff

790
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:58,079
Phillips, but I can answer that for you.
>> Thank you.

791
01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:03,440
» Every five years or so, they put a
mitigation plan together for all of

792
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:07,599
Bernalo County. And uh, the last time
Albuquerque took the lead. This time,

793
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:11,760
Bernley County has taken the lead. And
usually what they ask the village for is

794
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:16,400
number one, a letter of support to help
do that. And some small funding. I think

795
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:23,279
there we're probably going to look at5
or $6,000 uh as our share. The state

796
01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:27,920
funds 90% of it and then Bernalo County
and Albuquerque

797
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:33,279
fund the rest of it. And what that does
is redo our entire emergency operations

798
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:37,359
plan for the entire county.
>> Okay. Yeah, I was going to ask you what

799
01:08:34,719 --> 01:08:42,719
what sort of events we're mitigating,
but anything that's emergency related. I

800
01:08:39,759 --> 01:08:49,359
» So, this plan is probably about 2 in
thick. Uh but it's a very thorough plan

801
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:50,799
that they redo every five years or so.
>> Thank you, Fred.

802
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:56,480
» Sure.
>> Yeah. This one, this plan, as Fred said,

803
01:08:53,440 --> 01:09:01,440
deals with the Boski with any uh issues
associated primarily because of the

804
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:04,560
concerns everyone has in the corridor,
but it can also

805
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:08,960
» too I floods. they can and deal with
levies, improvements, and other

806
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:12,960
mitigation issues that or other issues
that could create a problem for the

807
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:16,839
municipal or municipalities andor the
county in the in the region.

808
01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:26,000
Okay. Now, any other questions?
Trusty Rena, I finally get to get to ask

809
01:09:22,319 --> 01:09:32,480
you. Um, and I guess it's not in the in
the report here, but um, it's something

810
01:09:28,799 --> 01:09:37,759
that Trusty Benvdas was was referring to
in ter just in terms of water. I know

811
01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:46,159
that we hired an attorney to take a look
at water rights across the village.

812
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:51,440
What's the status of of that report? And
where do we stand then in terms of the

813
01:09:49,279 --> 01:09:54,319
water rights that have already been
identified?

814
01:09:56,239 --> 01:10:06,880
Uh we don't have a report uh for water
rights across the village. Uh we do have

815
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:12,560
um an expert um that has um worked on
with the village before um working on

816
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:18,560
transferring water rights. Uh and they
can and we've talked about it um find

817
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:23,440
out what you know what else is out there
um for the village as far as water

818
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,440
rights are concerned.

819
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:32,000
So, at at this point then, have you
received any kind of update in terms of

820
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:38,800
of what's been going on in terms of what
they found?

821
01:10:35,199 --> 01:10:42,400
» Um, there are other opportunities for um
purchasing water rights, which I think

822
01:10:40,239 --> 01:10:45,760
the village is interested in. That's a a
general statement that's that's

823
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:48,800
available. We have to to work with
those.

824
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,480
» Are you talking about the that purchaser
agreement we did like a year and a half

825
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,920
ago?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Is there a You're asking for

826
01:10:53,440 --> 01:10:59,679
a status
>> status report? Okay. Um it is before the

827
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:04,960
state engineer at this point and it
takes what it takes there we there's no

828
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:10,320
once it's once it's submitted it has to
go through their process and review.

829
01:11:08,719 --> 01:11:16,719
» So I think maybe to get more clear
clarity on this uh trustee uh Rena and

830
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:20,560
members of the the board um we are in
negotiations. were negotiated for the

831
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:26,239
purchase of water rights as per that
resolution. Um it is now as as Mr. Abila

832
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:31,120
said it's with the state engineer to
verify that the water rights are

833
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:35,360
certified if you will the state process.
Once that's done then we will move

834
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:39,280
forward with the with the actual
procurement of those water rights. Um

835
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:43,520
which is what goes to that conversation
about the drilling of the well at the

836
01:11:41,199 --> 01:11:47,120
Delorth open space. Right. we needed to
make sure that those water rights are

837
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:51,679
going to be used in certain locations.
And so that's what what's that's all

838
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:56,560
about. So to answer your question, we're
um hopefully months away from getting

839
01:11:54,000 --> 01:12:01,040
this done, if not sooner. Uh but I am as
eager as you are and I know that uh

840
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:05,440
Trusty Benedictus has been uh point on
this with with folks looking for for

841
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:09,440
water rights and he did find someone and
uh I think we're getting close. So I'll

842
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:14,080
be happy to report to you all as soon as
that that transaction is consummated.

843
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:21,040
Okay. Any other questions?
>> Mayor, I have a couple.

844
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:25,600
» Go ahead, Trusty Keeper.
>> Yeah, I got changed it from the RS.

845
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:30,480
» You did indeed.
>> Um,

846
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:37,280
Fred,
I was looking at the um the trending of

847
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:41,360
the the Excel spreadsheet that you put
together for us and and thank you for

848
01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:46,159
doing that. It helps kind of but it
looks like

849
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:52,239
things are starting to kind of trend up
but mainly with um spe suspicious

850
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:57,360
people.
Is is that just a call?

851
01:12:55,440 --> 01:13:04,400
Usually someone calls sheriff saying
this person's suspicious and then that's

852
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:09,920
how this is captured or is it a actual
interaction with the person and they're

853
01:13:06,480 --> 01:13:14,159
not suspicious after all? Mayor Trusty
Kefir, you can blame Teresa Rail for

854
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:17,840
that. That's part of the the
neighborhood watch or neighborhood

855
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:22,000
groups that we've been meeting on is
trying to get people if they see

856
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:26,880
something suspicious, call it into the
sheriff's office. And we've seen that

857
01:13:24,239 --> 01:13:31,520
number keep going up and up and up. So
that can just be somebody, you know, you

858
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:35,679
saw in the neighborhood that just didn't
look like they belong there or you've

859
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:38,800
never seen them in your culde-sac
before. And those are the types of

860
01:13:37,199 --> 01:13:42,560
reports that go to the sheriff's office.
So, uh, through her emails and stuff

861
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,760
that she's sending out to these
different groups, people are starting to

862
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,920
call it in more.
>> Okay. All right. So, we want to see

863
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,159
those go out.
>> Yes.

864
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:53,280
» Okay. I was just curious as to whether
or not they were identified truly as

865
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:56,400
suspicious.
>> Um, thank you. I think that's all I have

866
01:13:55,360 --> 01:14:02,719
for you.
>> Um, John,

867
01:13:59,199 --> 01:14:10,960
real quick on planning and zoning and
permits that are issued. Um, is this

868
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:15,640
just numbers that are issued? Is this
what has been applied for?

869
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:22,280
» Sorry, I'm on page 88. If that helps
you.

870
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:40,560
Uh this report is uh what let me see
where we are

871
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:45,840
now. The business renewals those are
issued as well as applied for. Um

872
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:50,719
yeah that's pretty much the case
throughout. Um

873
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:54,480
what do I see? I don't see anything
that's out of that's that would have

874
01:14:53,199 --> 01:14:59,360
been applied for and has not been
issued. I don't don't have that.

875
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:04,400
» Okay. So, essentially five year to date,
two two in June for commercial

876
01:15:01,679 --> 01:15:10,719
construction.
>> Okay. All right. Um,

877
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:15,440
the only other question is, and this is
probably something I should have learned

878
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:21,920
a long time ago and I
um never asked and that's my fault, is

879
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:28,320
when
someone applies for whatever project

880
01:15:25,199 --> 01:15:35,120
they're going to do, how many steps does
our planning and zoning enforcement

881
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:42,000
officer go on site to verify that that
project is what is actually taking place

882
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:48,239
» or does that not happen?
>> Um, so here's

883
01:15:45,440 --> 01:15:55,120
I've seen like a setback check may have
happened. Uh, but it's not a it's not a

884
01:15:51,679 --> 01:15:59,840
in the field um check at this point. I
mean there's not that much of that

885
01:15:56,480 --> 01:16:04,880
going. I have seen like um checkbacks
sorry setbacks uh being checked um

886
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:10,400
previously.
>> Okay. And mayor maybe you can help me.

887
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:17,120
City of Albuquerque I know there's
certain steps right when you are going

888
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:20,960
to build a garage or
whatever add on to your house. You know

889
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:27,360
there's there's the different permits
you have to get and inspections at each

890
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:31,520
phase. Are those city inspections or are
those

891
01:16:29,199 --> 01:16:36,000
» in Albuquerque? Because of the home rule
status, obviously they do all that's a

892
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:42,400
that's all a one-stop shop within the
department of of of the planning

893
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:49,280
departments. Um but in Bernalo County
outside the unincorporated area and it's

894
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:53,120
usually the county and again because
state facilities are not in either

895
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:57,679
municipality or they're in the county
but they they go through uh construction

896
01:16:55,199 --> 01:17:02,960
industries for example University of New
Mexico APS some of those facilities

897
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:07,760
don't go to the city. So it's a little
bit of a jurisdictional if you will uh

898
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:11,280
decision about how that those are done.
>> Okay. And I guess I'm just kind of

899
01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:15,360
curious because maybe that's something I
don't know in the future we need to look

900
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:21,440
at to control our own you know kind of
going back to that

901
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:27,840
to that idea of we outsource a lot of
our services. How do we protect the

902
01:17:25,199 --> 01:17:34,719
culture of our village? How do we
protect the um the design, the look, the

903
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:39,679
everything is really by getting people
boots on the ground with each project

904
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:45,679
that's being applied for? Um because
what would stop someone from

905
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:51,120
saying, "Hey, I'm going to apply for an
internal remodel and it turn out to be

906
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:56,719
something completely different than what
my application says." What type of

907
01:17:53,520 --> 01:18:01,679
checks and balances are there? So, um I
don't know just something as I'm

908
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:06,159
learning through this process um that we
should probably look at or consider.

909
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:11,600
» Well, I would just say to uh and trusty
Kefir and and again to the all of us

910
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:15,440
intuitively know that we have those at
least when I was at the city when they

911
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:18,800
would give that responsibility to the
plan department. But just so you're not

912
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:22,719
too surprised um even the plan
department sometimes is surprised of

913
01:18:20,719 --> 01:18:26,320
what was approved and what actually got
built.

914
01:18:23,199 --> 01:18:32,719
» Sure. because it's just um you it's
obviously a huge city and lots and lots

915
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:39,199
of things going on. However, um I get
the the point you're getting at and that

916
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:43,840
is that we tend to do a in-house review.
We typically go to Google Earth or go go

917
01:18:42,239 --> 01:18:49,120
to one of those, if you will, most
updated uh applications that we can get

918
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:53,679
mostly so we can be as efficient as
possible because we don't have staff to

919
01:18:51,199 --> 01:18:59,360
go out and do the the on-site
investigations. However, if there is a

920
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:05,199
reason to do that, we now have a person
that we can assign to go out and and and

921
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:11,679
look at those sort of things. But once
it's built and and it's been permitted,

922
01:19:08,239 --> 01:19:17,760
etc., Um the did the contractor build
what they actually presented and did we

923
01:19:14,480 --> 01:19:22,880
go back out there and verify that? Um I
will say to you we don't have the staff

924
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:27,440
to do that and we probably only do that
if again and it's unfortunate if someone

925
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:30,320
reports that as wait a minute these
these folks say they were going to build

926
01:19:28,719 --> 01:19:32,640
a garage and they ended up building a
church or what have you.

927
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:37,440
» Sure. you know, and that's an
exaggeration, but my point simply is

928
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:41,360
that we don't typically do the followup
and and that's sort of one of those

929
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:46,159
issues that we probably should have a
conversation. Might require additional

930
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:51,520
staff or it may just require a a
contractor that we hire on a case-byase

931
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:55,679
basis uh on some of those issues that
that you know that we believe or that we

932
01:19:53,360 --> 01:20:00,719
feel are significant enough that warrant
a review. But yeah, that's that's simply

933
01:19:58,480 --> 01:20:04,960
what what uh what is the the case at
this point. Am I on am I uh correct on

934
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:10,560
that, John?
>> That's fairly accurate there. We'll

935
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:14,400
check a few things. Uh as I said, there
was a setback. That's a pretty easy

936
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:18,800
measurement. You walk up and check that.
So, um

937
01:20:15,440 --> 01:20:22,719
» and there's no doubt that we we have a
lot of work to do, too, with the

938
01:20:20,239 --> 01:20:29,360
ordinances in our in our building. So, I
mean, I think, um you know, I'm not

939
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:33,920
trying to dump this all on staff. So,
please don't don't take it that way.

940
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:38,960
It's we've got a lot of work to do, but
it's the only thing that I think we have

941
01:20:36,719 --> 01:20:44,719
within our purview and our control to be
able to really affect the aesthetics of

942
01:20:43,440 --> 01:20:50,000
» of our own identity.
>> Right.

943
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:54,880
» Okay. Any other questions? Uh
my word, George has no questions.

944
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:58,560
» To the next item.
>> Let's go to the next item.

945
01:20:56,400 --> 01:21:04,800
I'm just kidding. But anyway, let me uh
let me uh close out um this portion of

946
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:10,880
our of our of our agenda by saying um
our next meeting uh as a board is not

947
01:21:07,199 --> 01:21:17,920
till middle of August. Um we have a new
planning director that will be starting.

948
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:25,280
» Oh uh next week. Is that right? Uh Dell.
Um and sir and this individual I um has

949
01:21:22,239 --> 01:21:30,960
um been involved in planning for for a
long time and um I think it was normally

950
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:35,760
we like to bring this individual or at
least as close to the date of their hire

951
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:40,239
for you all's approval but in this case
because of the timing and her

952
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:44,239
availability to take the job it uh it
happens you know next week and so it

953
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:51,520
would be that she would be on the job
for about three weeks before we all but

954
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:55,600
Um, I'm assuming we can divulge.
Is that right, Danielle? We can simply

955
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:59,120
say who that person is or would you wait
for or do you want or you want to wait

956
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:03,040
and see?
>> Yeah, I always have that feeling of

957
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:07,679
jinxing ourselves. We've done this
before and approved it before the board

958
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:12,159
of trustees and then they uh rescended.
>> So, uh, you know, I have that hanging

959
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:18,159
over our head, but yes, mayor, go ahead
and announce um who it will be. will be

960
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:21,440
bringing it as mayor said to the August
agenda for your approval of that

961
01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:25,520
position.
>> The individual is uh named Shannana

962
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,280
Schultz.
>> Shana Schultz.

963
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,880
» Shannon Schultz.
>> Shana.

964
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:33,040
» Shana Schultz.
>> Shanna Schultz.

965
01:22:30,639 --> 01:22:37,920
» I I would suspect that uh Trusty
Ranovich, you may have met her a time or

966
01:22:35,679 --> 01:22:42,080
two. She worked for the city of
Albuquerque for many years. She uh

967
01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:45,280
worked for the council services for a
long time.

968
01:22:43,199 --> 01:22:51,360
uh one of the principal if you will
architects and uh if you will for the

969
01:22:48,719 --> 01:22:57,280
new IDEO process that the city went
through. Um whether that is folks have

970
01:22:55,120 --> 01:23:02,159
you know can say good or bad about that
but the point simply is that she has a

971
01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:08,719
tremendous amount of of experience in
planning and zoning uh and and rewriting

972
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:12,719
etc. So to your point, Trustee Kefir,
and actually to all of you all, we've

973
01:23:10,639 --> 01:23:19,600
all been through this. I I think she'll
be a great asset for us in rewriting a

974
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:26,880
lot of our codes um and um will help us
uh tremendously on in that in that work.

975
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:31,840
And so um John will give up his uh his
his hat here very shortly and only be

976
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:37,280
our administrator. But uh
>> he's looking really sad. He's uh but

977
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:42,080
he's he's a he's been uh a true a
trooper in wearing like multiple hats.

978
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:46,159
But anyway, that she will be uh here on
Monday and so at some point I suspect

979
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:51,199
between now and the approval you all
will get an opportunity to to meet and

980
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:54,239
interact with her. So just wanted to
took some time to get there and we're

981
01:23:52,639 --> 01:23:56,960
we're I'm pretty happy that we were able
to get there.

982
01:23:54,960 --> 01:24:02,239
» Oh yeah. So anyway, with that being
said, now we'll go to uh our next order

983
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:11,440
of business, which is trustee reports.
And so we'll start with trustee Benzas.

984
01:24:05,679 --> 01:24:14,800
» Yes. Um okay. Uh a resident, and I won't
name the name because he probably

985
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:18,480
doesn't want me to made a a pretty
interesting suggestion and because we've

986
01:24:16,639 --> 01:24:26,080
been talking about how do we do surveys,
right? And uh and some of the surveys

987
01:24:22,480 --> 01:24:32,880
are not all that scientific. Uh but but
maybe uh a way to do it, not totally

988
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:38,960
scientific, but a good way to get the
public uh to comment on specific things

989
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:43,600
is is to uh use our our publication that
we have already, the village vision,

990
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:48,080
uh and put questions in there for
feedback. And you could put a QR code in

991
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:52,560
there. And if you wanted to make it more
scientific then you have to person would

992
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:58,080
have to identify their name and
residence to prevent from multiple

993
01:24:54,800 --> 01:25:01,679
people I mean voting or the same person
voting multiple times right or people

994
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:06,159
outside the village from voting right
but uh but I think it would we we could

995
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:13,920
get useful information from the public
in that manner. Okay. Um uh let me talk

996
01:25:10,159 --> 01:25:19,679
about old village hall. Uh so I I recall
Old Village Hall back when uh you know

997
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:25,199
my our our son was in Boy Scouts and at
that time so we're talking oh my gosh

998
01:25:22,480 --> 01:25:30,239
over 25 years ago. It looked pretty run
down and and it looked like a big safety

999
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:34,080
hazard. Uh uh you know the I didn't
wasn't sure if the the electrical was

1000
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:38,639
quite right. The floorboards look like
they were rotting and it just it looked

1001
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:43,280
pretty bad. Uh but you made a pretty
good argument, George, that hey, this

1002
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:49,120
was our our original village hall and
it's worth preserving. Uh and and I I I

1003
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:52,880
I agree with that. Uh and as long as
it's we can do it so that it's no longer

1004
01:25:50,719 --> 01:25:59,040
hazardous, I think I think it is worth
serving. Um

1005
01:25:55,520 --> 01:26:05,040
uh uh so uh uh let's talk about uh uh
signs in front of vineyards now. Uh uh

1006
01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:11,280
so there so I was called to my attention
by a a village resident that there is a

1007
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:17,040
a sign where that a a winery put on a
vineyard. Okay. And it's bar. Okay. Uh

1008
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:23,679
so on one hand we should actually should
encourage that sort of thing because uh

1009
01:26:20,239 --> 01:26:27,600
I I think it it it it makes people that
have vineyards a little bit more excited

1010
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:31,360
about doing what they're doing. Okay.
But but the signs need to follow our

1011
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:34,639
side ordinance or they need to be
tasteful and if we need to adjust it we

1012
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:40,639
should think about that. So we shouldn't
discourage it but uh we should uh give

1013
01:26:38,719 --> 01:26:45,520
some some good guidance about what that
should look like. Uh not anything we

1014
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:49,600
have to decide now but just you know in
the future we should think we should I'm

1015
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:56,159
maybe I'm hoping that you will come
before us with uh some suggestions about

1016
01:26:54,159 --> 01:27:04,719
what to do about that. on
>> um uh okay let's see

1017
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:10,960
uh I'm I am planning on attending the uh
the middle rail grand uh levy

1018
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:16,000
improvements uh meeting on uh July 28th
at the Raymond G Sanchez uh unless

1019
01:27:13,679 --> 01:27:23,120
something unforeseen comes up I mean I
think we should be aware of of what's

1020
01:27:18,639 --> 01:27:28,560
happening there um and and finally one
final point uh the public Menace and I

1021
01:27:25,440 --> 01:27:33,120
think this is the address 605 Takosa.
Uh God that is it it is really shameful

1022
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:38,320
and I I really feel bad for the the
residents and I hear well our hands are

1023
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:42,880
tied. Our hands are tied. Uh I mean
sometimes you have to take a little risk

1024
01:27:40,159 --> 01:27:47,440
if it's if it's not too risky, you know,
uh and just do something about it. So

1025
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:51,600
and I know I know the attorney warned us
that there was there's an issue with

1026
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:58,000
being able to put a lean against it, but
uh uh but I I You know, there's always

1027
01:27:54,960 --> 01:28:02,400
some risk, but if it's if it's is it a
risk small enough that it's worth

1028
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:05,199
taking, uh, let's do that. Give the the
neighbors some relief. That's all I

1029
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:09,840
have.
>> Very good. All right. We'll go to Trusty

1030
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:14,800
Kefir.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Um, I really don't

1031
01:28:11,679 --> 01:28:20,480
have much tonight. I think I kind of
said it all in my my planning and

1032
01:28:16,719 --> 01:28:25,360
zoning. Um, I am super excited. So, I I
did go on a vacation

1033
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:30,320

um

1034
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:34,080
up to a mountain community and I took
tons of pictures because it was the

1035
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:39,760
coolest thing to see Walmart looking
like a log cabin.

1036
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:45,679
Um and Starbucks looked like a log
cabin. And I thought, you know, if there

1037
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:51,120
has to be some planning and zoning
ordinances, I would assume in this

1038
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:56,400
community to force the designs of these
retailers and of these buildings to do

1039
01:28:53,440 --> 01:29:00,080
it that it kind of gives me hope on
something maybe we can do for Fourth

1040
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:04,960
Street. You know, if we really truly
want to preserve our own identity, we're

1041
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:09,520
not a mountain community. I know that. I
mean, we're not going to have log

1042
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:17,360
cabins, but we can find what Los Ranchos
is with farming, ranching, agriculture,

1043
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:24,480
you know, um, Route 66, kind of get that
whole vibe and really structure

1044
01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:30,400
um, a main street that really reflects
who we who we are. Um, so I took tons of

1045
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:37,840
pictures to kind of share with my my
fellow uh trustees and mayor. Um, and to

1046
01:29:34,239 --> 01:29:42,159
Miss Ryel's point on crosswalks um, in
this community, I thought it was super

1047
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:47,040
cool. It was almost a lot like Pagosa.
They had the crosswalks that lit up, but

1048
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:52,639
they also had the flags that you grab
the flag and you hold it as a pedestrian

1049
01:29:50,239 --> 01:29:59,199
to get people's attention. And I mean,
you're crossing six. this was a six lane

1050
01:29:56,239 --> 01:30:06,000
uh road that we could do something as
simple as that for Real Grand. Um you

1051
01:30:02,719 --> 01:30:11,040
know it it's amazing how much just a
holding a little flag really gets

1052
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:16,159
drivers attention. So um that's really
about all I had. Um just excited about

1053
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:22,000
the planning and zoning opportunities
after seeing some interesting designs.

1054
01:30:20,159 --> 01:30:27,800
» Very good. Thank you much. Well, and we
go to Trusty Renovich. You sure you

1055
01:30:24,480 --> 01:30:27,800
don't want Renault?

1056
01:30:28,239 --> 01:30:34,719
» Um, a couple things.
>> 30 seconds.

1057
01:30:32,480 --> 01:30:40,480
» Um,
I hope all of you are aware that we're

1058
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:49,199
having some APS meetings. One is coming
up on the 22nd. I was very distressed to

1059
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:54,639
see that APS only sent letters to the
people directly adjacent to Taft. Not

1060
01:30:52,800 --> 01:31:00,560
that Taylor.
>> So, it went to like six people or eight

1061
01:30:57,199 --> 01:31:05,199
people. Uh, word has spread. I don't
know if there's one over in your

1062
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:10,639
neighborhood. Uh,
>> yeah, Jennifer. So, uh, he didn't talk

1063
01:31:07,679 --> 01:31:18,880
about anything with Taft, but he did
talk about um, uh, uh, Taylor. So, it's

1064
01:31:15,199 --> 01:31:23,840
the 22nd. Um, and I'll send out the
particulars, but it's the 22nd. I

1065
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:28,320
believe it's at six o'clock at Taylor
Middle School. I can't believe that they

1066
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:36,320
wouldn't Well, I do believe it because
APS is like that, but um they didn't

1067
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:41,199
send any uh response to any of us. I
don't know if they did to the village at

1068
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:47,440
all. I don't believe they did. Um but
they're setting up this meeting and so

1069
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:52,480
um um it's it's that day. So hopefully
some of you can make it. I know you're

1070
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:58,880
interested. Frank. So, there's that. And
then I second what uh Trustee Benvdita

1071
01:31:56,080 --> 01:32:03,760
said about Tuscosa. It just we just gota
we just got to do something about that.

1072
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:08,880
It's ridiculous that we're being held
hostage to someone who's doing that to

1073
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:13,920
the neighbors and and and their own
house for so long. We we've got to take

1074
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:19,199
a we've got to take a leap of faith and
do it because it just can't it just

1075
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:26,120
can't go on. So, I appreciate you saying
that. Those are all I had tonight. Okay,

1076
01:32:22,639 --> 01:32:26,120
» address you right now.

1077
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:35,120
» I go along with it totally. Totally. I I
think it's something that we just need

1078
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:42,480
to address as soon as we can
that the neighbors are just being really

1079
01:32:39,679 --> 01:32:48,080
um somewhat patient with us, but I think
we need to be able to take some action.

1080
01:32:45,199 --> 01:32:53,920
On a more positive note, um Trusty
Benvitas and I both attended the

1081
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:59,840
um the event that was held over at the
library. Um yeah and

1082
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:05,840
and it was it was sponsored by the
historical society and the the

1083
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:12,080
presentation was was done by David
Mononttoya who shared with all of us um

1084
01:33:10,159 --> 01:33:16,719
reflections on on his family's
experience here in the village and also

1085
01:33:14,480 --> 01:33:24,000
shared a number of the artifacts that we
were able to see and touch and better

1086
01:33:19,679 --> 01:33:29,360
understand about uh about the um that
their experience in in the village. Um,

1087
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:36,639
it was well attended. It was well
attended and I would certainly encourage

1088
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:44,560
folks to continue to uh to follow it and
to attend. Um, the other

1089
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:51,840
another piece is that the
the village is in fact having its own

1090
01:33:48,239 --> 01:33:59,600
lavender festival. Um the first weekend
was last weekend, the second weekend is

1091
01:33:55,280 --> 01:34:09,120
this weekend. Um so I hope that we come
out to support it. Um and u and I know

1092
01:34:04,159 --> 01:34:17,360
that uh you know that the community farm
is going to be having their um their

1093
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:23,679
dinner at at the barn uh I believe on
Saturday evening. Um but the

1094
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:29,120
uh but folks from the village are excuse
me folks from the village are also going

1095
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:34,960
to be there in order to um in order to
be able to promote their wares as well

1096
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:39,600
to those who attend. Uh the other thing
is um

1097
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:45,280
that I was
uh still rather kind of intent on

1098
01:34:42,480 --> 01:34:50,400
following what's going on with Easy
Fiber. Uh, and I know from the note here

1099
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:56,400
that there's another company that wants
to come into the village as well. Uh,

1100
01:34:53,600 --> 01:35:02,800
and the the city of Albuquerque just
allowed the EC Fiber and I think there

1101
01:35:00,159 --> 01:35:07,360
was one other company uh to start work
again. But I think that we need to be

1102
01:35:05,199 --> 01:35:12,639
just very mindful about what's going on
so that we monitor what's happening. and

1103
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:17,840
the the city of Albuquerque has
published a set of rules um that I think

1104
01:35:16,159 --> 01:35:24,000
we should probably get a look at and
then replicate here as well. So that

1105
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:30,000
again part of it is to is to connect
with residents who are going to be

1106
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:35,440
impacted by the um by any kind of street
closing, any kind of overhead, any kind

1107
01:35:33,440 --> 01:35:42,320
of work that's going to be done in and
around the the community

1108
01:35:38,159 --> 01:35:47,840
so that we are able to again ensure that
um that our residents are going to be

1109
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:53,520
best served. Um, you know, so I know
that Easy Fiber has suggested to the the

1110
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:58,320
city that they're going to be on track.
They're also going to be uniformed.

1111
01:35:55,600 --> 01:36:03,120
Their trucks are going to be uh
identified. Uh, and so I think that

1112
01:36:01,440 --> 01:36:08,000
again, we need to make sure that that
occurs here in the village as well.

1113
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:10,639
» Thanks. Thanks for thanks for saying
that. I I did remember one other thing,

1114
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:16,080
Mayor.
>> Um, sorry. Go ahead. Uh, I just wanted

1115
01:36:12,719 --> 01:36:22,080
to congratulate Nancy uh, Naneroni. I
saw an article uh, online that she

1116
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:27,440
invented a I didn't know she was an MIT
grad, but she invented a control system

1117
01:36:25,440 --> 01:36:32,719
for swamp coolers, which I thought was
really cool and uh, so congratulations

1118
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:36,159
to Nancy.
>> Yes, indeed. That was a write up on the

1119
01:36:34,239 --> 01:36:39,679
Albuquerque Journal um, had a nice
section

1120
01:36:37,199 --> 01:36:43,440
» um, this weekend uh, giving her some
some kudos for her work. You're right.

1121
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:47,600
Let me just uh sort of summarize a
couple of things really quickly and then

1122
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:53,040
we'll adjourn. Um on these two problem
properties we have in our village. Um we

1123
01:36:50,639 --> 01:36:58,080
are couldn't agree with all of you more
and quite frankly as sympathetic as uh

1124
01:36:56,080 --> 01:37:04,320
as much as possible. I met with some of
the neighbors uh on one of the

1125
01:37:00,480 --> 01:37:10,960
properties on Schulty last week and um I
know that John and uh and our attorney

1126
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:17,600
are working diligently to uh get this
these two uh items in front of a court

1127
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:22,639
and and and and get a super aggressive
uh trusty R uh trustee, excuse me, Fred

1128
01:37:20,639 --> 01:37:27,760
has been helpful in in identifying
opportunities for us to uh and how to

1129
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:31,280
structure this uh program so that we can
do some work over there th those two

1130
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:34,320
you're and you guys are all right. I
mean neighbors shouldn't be able to have

1131
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:39,360
to put up with what they've been putting
up for so many years. So um I appreciate

1132
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:43,040
their their patience and you all's
patience on this. It's not obviously

1133
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:47,840
it's been here I think I got the
document for one of the places it was

1134
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:52,080
since since 2015
in particular on one of them and that's

1135
01:37:49,440 --> 01:37:54,960
just way too long for government but
nonetheless we're working on it

1136
01:37:53,360 --> 01:38:01,679
hopefully get something done very uh
very soon um I also wanted just to say

1137
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:06,719
that um that as it relates to to e to
these telecoms coming in uh very well

1138
01:38:04,639 --> 01:38:10,880
aware of that have already requested the
copies of the of the if you will of the

1139
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:16,719
requirements that the city of
Albuquerque has has uh implemented. Um

1140
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:22,400
couple of things that are interesting
about the city's uh if you will

1141
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:27,920
approach. Um they're basically because
they've awarded so many contracts, they

1142
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:30,320
all want them to have a common trench.
>> Oh yeah.

1143
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:35,280
» So that they can all put their their
line in the same hole.

1144
01:38:32,639 --> 01:38:42,159
Um the challenge for us obviously is
that we're not the these companies

1145
01:38:38,239 --> 01:38:48,400
obviously work as as much as we all uh
need all our fast uh responses on our

1146
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:52,239
computers etc and internet service. They
they go to where the the biggest benefit

1147
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:55,119
is, right? So they're they're going to
do the more affluent neighborhoods.

1148
01:38:54,000 --> 01:39:00,800
they're going to do the business
community areas first and they'll

1149
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:04,400
eventually get to everyone else, but
they're further down the line. So, there

1150
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:08,960
are some of the requirements that the
city has put in their in their structure

1151
01:39:06,639 --> 01:39:13,600
that probably that don't work for us
necessarily, but there are some things

1152
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:17,360
that do and um and we're going to be
looking at those and making sure that we

1153
01:39:15,199 --> 01:39:23,600
hold them accountable.
Um, Gigabyte, which is the uh is the one

1154
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:28,080
that's that's u a subsidiary or it's
it's a subsidiary from AT&T,

1155
01:39:26,239 --> 01:39:33,119
» came in last week. They they came in to
talk to us about wanting to do a work

1156
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:39,280
here in the village. Uh they've
indicated that they primarily are going

1157
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:42,719
to try and use uh existing utility poles
as opposed to trying

1158
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:47,920
» to try and get through most especially
on Fourth Street. um they're not quite

1159
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:52,400
sure on Rio Grand what that looks like
given what we just talked about earlier.

1160
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:56,880
We should probably have a conversation
about that. Uh but obviously the the

1161
01:39:55,520 --> 01:40:02,480
real challenge for our neighborhoods and
for our community is is is getting that

1162
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:06,880
uh if you will that service into the
home which means all the small little

1163
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:11,679
neighborhood roads etc they get they
that they may have to trench in some of

1164
01:40:09,440 --> 01:40:16,960
those they are looking at micro
trenching and some other uh aspects but

1165
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:20,320
nonetheless I I agree with you all in
the sense that we need to make sure we

1166
01:40:18,480 --> 01:40:26,639
hold them accountable and that we we
stay on top of that. And then the last

1167
01:40:22,719 --> 01:40:33,520
piece I would say, excuse me, is that
uh Trusty Kefir, um the idea of of of

1168
01:40:30,639 --> 01:40:37,840
creating what we want as an image is
really super important, I think, for any

1169
01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:43,520
community. Um you go to Santa Fe, Santa
Fe under their building structures, you

1170
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:49,440
know, height limitations, colors, etc.
Some folks might say it's the extreme,

1171
01:40:45,679 --> 01:40:53,440
but having that as a and then looking at
some of the communities in in other

1172
01:40:51,199 --> 01:40:58,320
parts of the country, we ought to be
thinking about what we what we want

1173
01:40:55,040 --> 01:41:04,239
Losas to be to some extent and uh and
that hopefully as again as Miss Schulz

1174
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:07,679
comes online um we'll have someone
that'll have some I think some some

1175
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:11,280
really good understanding of that and
and you know of course that'll be a

1176
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:16,560
longer discussion of what we want our
world to be. I want to just conclude by

1177
01:41:13,440 --> 01:41:23,440
saying to all of you that um we are
right at the at the cusp of firing up as

1178
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:27,280
I would say our main street program and
um I wanted to just inform the trustees

1179
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:32,800
and and the community that we'll be
holding very soon a a meeting with all

1180
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:37,199
our business community members uh to get
them organized if you will and to get

1181
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:42,560
them introduced to some of the work that
we want to do as it relates to uh

1182
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:45,760
revitalization of particularly Fourth
Street, but obviously there are

1183
01:41:44,480 --> 01:41:50,960
businesses other than just Fourth
Street. And uh really creating an

1184
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:56,239
opportunity for us to take advantage of
what the state has with their Main

1185
01:41:52,719 --> 01:42:00,320
Street program and to do some work in
and in and around the village and to

1186
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:06,159
attract more opportunities so that as uh
Gail so carefully observed so that our

1187
01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:10,400
GRT continues to go up uh we and and
quite frankly and so that our businesses

1188
01:42:07,679 --> 01:42:15,679
are successful on Forest Street. And so
um stay tuned. we will get with you all

1189
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:20,480
and and have that conversation um and
and try and get our our main street uh

1190
01:42:18,159 --> 01:42:26,239
really to the next level. John's working
on those on that information as we

1191
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:31,280
speak. So uh with that um there is a
baseball game tonight and so I

1192
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:36,000

task and getting us through this budget.

1193
01:42:33,199 --> 01:42:39,679
