Thank you Mr Chair

29
00:01:35,764 --> 00:01:36,014
So to do a quick introduction. I

30
00:01:36,464 --> 00:01:36,714
am here on behalf of the permian

31
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:38,281
Strategic Partnership where

32
00:01:40,264 --> 00:01:40,514
nonprofit organization funded by

33
00:01:42,231 --> 00:01:42,481
oil and gas companies as well as

34
00:01:45,531 --> 00:01:45,781
two university systems in order

35
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:46,481
to invest in communities

36
00:01:47,831 --> 00:01:48,081
impacted by oil and gas

37
00:01:49,797 --> 00:01:50,047
development in southeast Mexico

38
00:01:51,764 --> 00:01:52,014
and west Texas. so our

39
00:01:53,497 --> 00:01:53,747
particular purpose in being here

40
00:01:54,197 --> 00:01:54,447
as this committee is doing its

41
00:01:56,197 --> 00:01:56,447
work is to give you an example

42
00:01:58,197 --> 00:01:58,447
of a public private partnership

43
00:02:00,331 --> 00:02:00,581
that is successfully underway

44
00:02:00,964 --> 00:02:01,214
in southeast New Mexico. I

45
00:02:04,164 --> 00:02:04,414
know it's not always easy to

46
00:02:05,864 --> 00:02:06,114
find additional sources of

47
00:02:07,764 --> 00:02:08,014
revenue for the programs that

48
00:02:09,764 --> 00:02:10,014
you need to fund to make roadsa

49
00:02:11,497 --> 00:02:11,747
across the state so we want to

50
00:02:12,097 --> 00:02:12,347
make sure that you know that

51
00:02:13,731 --> 00:02:13,981
industry is a partner and to

52
00:02:16,231 --> 00:02:16,481
please call on us as you can and

53
00:02:17,497 --> 00:02:17,747

00:02:18,131 --> 00:02:18,381
front of us you have a list of

55
00:02:19,797 --> 00:02:20,047
our membership which includes

56
00:02:21,497 --> 00:02:21,747
newborn where your host this

57
00:02:25,497 --> 00:02:25,747
morning and we also have a

58
00:02:26,264 --> 00:02:26,514
list of other projects that we

59
00:02:28,264 --> 00:02:28,514
have invested in. I won't go

60
00:02:30,231 --> 00:02:30,481
through all of them this morning

61
00:02:30,897 --> 00:02:31,147
but did want to highlight

62
00:02:31,464 --> 00:02:31,714
that we

63
00:02:33,731 --> 00:02:33,981
were just at New Mexico Junior

64
00:02:34,431 --> 00:02:34,681
College yesterday where we're

65
00:02:36,231 --> 00:02:36,481
proud to have funded the Cdl

66
00:02:37,964 --> 00:02:38,214
training program that they have

67
00:02:39,997 --> 00:02:40,247
there which includes scholarship

68
00:02:41,764 --> 00:02:42,014
funding to allow members of the

69
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:43,747
community to get job training

70
00:02:45,964 --> 00:02:46,214
and get safely on the highway

71
00:02:47,531 --> 00:02:47,781
supporting industry and

72
00:02:49,731 --> 00:02:49,981
hopefully some working fornMTOT

73
00:02:53,664 --> 00:02:53,914
in the future and also

74
00:02:56,264 --> 00:02:56,514
have some more highlights of

75
00:02:57,797 --> 00:02:58,047
some of the programs that we

76
00:02:59,997 --> 00:03:00,247
have been involved in but with

77
00:03:00,664 --> 00:03:00,914
is Chief Mac

78
00:03:02,564 --> 00:03:02,814
I can't see behind me.

79
00:03:08,297 --> 00:03:08,547
oh excellent so without further

80
00:03:09,997 --> 00:03:10,247
ado given the timeline, I will

81
00:03:12,031 --> 00:03:12,281
kick us over to Chiefacc to

82
00:03:15,497 --> 00:03:15,747
tellla you about a program that

83
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:17,981
we are beginning to fund in Eddy

84
00:03:18,497 --> 00:03:18,747
County in order to make the

85
00:03:20,264 --> 00:03:20,514
roads in southeast Mexico a

86
00:03:21,997 --> 00:03:22,247
little bit safer we will happily

87
00:03:23,731 --> 00:03:23,981
stand for questions both about

88
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:25,747
PSP public privatevate

89
00:03:27,464 --> 00:03:27,714
partnerships or this program

90
00:03:28,297 --> 00:03:28,547
whence the presentation is

91
00:03:28,864 --> 00:03:29,114
concluded from the chief.

92
00:03:32,097 --> 00:03:32,347
I will hand it over to you Chief

93
00:03:32,764 --> 00:03:33,014
Mac.

94
00:03:36,097 --> 00:03:36,347
morning Chairmandydy

95
00:03:41,497 --> 00:03:41,747
Eddie County approached the

96
00:03:43,997 --> 00:03:44,247
PP a couple of years ago to

97
00:03:46,264 --> 00:03:46,514
start looking at resources that

98
00:03:47,531 --> 00:03:47,781
we can bring into our area

99
00:03:50,231 --> 00:03:50,481
to better serve the community

100
00:03:53,531 --> 00:03:53,781
and the industry as we're

101
00:03:55,497 --> 00:03:55,747
experiencing the rapid growth

102
00:03:57,497 --> 00:03:57,747
one of the biggest things that

103
00:03:59,531 --> 00:03:59,781
we were finding was delayed

104
00:04:01,997 --> 00:04:02,247
response out to the remote

105
00:04:05,497 --> 00:04:05,747
areas which was causing negative

106
00:04:07,764 --> 00:04:08,014
outcomes, negative impacts

107
00:04:09,497 --> 00:04:09,747
not only to the roadways but to

108
00:04:10,097 --> 00:04:10,347
also the citizens of

109
00:04:13,531 --> 00:04:13,781
Eddy County and those traveling

110
00:04:15,764 --> 00:04:16,014
and visiting our area. so we

111
00:04:17,731 --> 00:04:17,981
looked at the techstop program

112
00:04:20,164 --> 00:04:20,414
that PSP partnered withex. on

113
00:04:21,997 --> 00:04:22,247
and saw that they were offering

114
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:24,447
a roadside assistance support

115
00:04:26,197 --> 00:04:26,447
program which we thought was

116
00:04:27,731 --> 00:04:27,981
great but we thought we could

117
00:04:28,397 --> 00:04:28,647
take it one step further

118
00:04:32,064 --> 00:04:32,314
so what we've done is we've

119
00:04:34,197 --> 00:04:34,447
brought in we're bringing in 6

120
00:04:36,431 --> 00:04:36,681
EMS specialist positions

121
00:04:38,264 --> 00:04:38,514
specifically to staff an

122
00:04:40,264 --> 00:04:40,514
ambulance that'll be remotely

123
00:04:43,731 --> 00:04:43,981
placed out in the area off of128

124
00:04:47,764 --> 00:04:48,014
from US or New Mexico31 all the

125
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:48,747
way to the county line with Lee

126
00:04:51,497 --> 00:04:51,747
County and they'll conduct a

127
00:04:52,264 --> 00:04:52,514
random patrols throughout the

128
00:04:55,497 --> 00:04:55,747
day. they'll do any roadway

129
00:04:57,764 --> 00:04:58,014
debris removal. we plan to mark

130
00:04:58,497 --> 00:04:58,747
the ambulances with some safety

131
00:05:01,497 --> 00:05:01,747
messages just to remind drivers

132
00:05:02,197 --> 00:05:02,447
slow down, don't text and drive

133
00:05:05,964 --> 00:05:06,214
buckle up and hopefully having

134
00:05:07,731 --> 00:05:07,981
the presence of the ambulance

135
00:05:09,697 --> 00:05:09,947
out there will get attention to

136
00:05:11,697 --> 00:05:11,947
slow down and practice

137
00:05:14,364 --> 00:05:14,614
safely. However, if an emergency

138
00:05:16,164 --> 00:05:16,414
does occur it also puts a

139
00:05:19,497 --> 00:05:19,747
responder in the immediate area

140
00:05:21,731 --> 00:05:21,981
where we usually average a35

141
00:05:23,864 --> 00:05:24,114
to55 minute response time we'll

142
00:05:26,031 --> 00:05:26,281
be cutting that down.

143
00:05:27,497 --> 00:05:27,747
obviously if they're in the

144
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:28,380
right place at the right time it

145
00:05:29,764 --> 00:05:30,014
could be a matter of seconds to

146
00:05:32,097 --> 00:05:32,347
minutes which changes the whole

147
00:05:37,464 --> 00:05:37,714
dynamic of the situation and

148
00:05:38,064 --> 00:05:38,314
then also the

149
00:05:41,697 --> 00:05:41,947
ability to be out there to

150
00:05:42,264 --> 00:05:42,514
coordinate

151
00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:46,480
massive resources quickly based

152
00:05:47,964 --> 00:05:48,214
off of actual evidence from the

153
00:05:51,730 --> 00:05:51,980
scene. So without PSP I don't

154
00:05:52,330 --> 00:05:52,580
know that this program would

155
00:05:55,497 --> 00:05:55,747
have ever come to fruition. they

156
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:58,480
put $2 million up the county is

157
00:05:59,897 --> 00:06:00,147
matched with1.7 and the

158
00:06:00,464 --> 00:06:00,714
equipment

159
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:03,747
and I think it's a great

160
00:06:05,764 --> 00:06:06,014
opportunity that we need to look

161
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:08,480
at and see how we can better

162
00:06:11,697 --> 00:06:11,947
serve these working areas during

163
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:14,180
the high impact times and then

164
00:06:15,764 --> 00:06:16,014
at night this crew will actually

165
00:06:17,497 --> 00:06:17,747
go back into the village of

166
00:06:18,097 --> 00:06:18,347
Loving and they'll staff from

167
00:06:19,997 --> 00:06:20,247
there and provide additional EMS

168
00:06:21,864 --> 00:06:22,114
support to our crews on a daily

169
00:06:22,564 --> 00:06:22,814
basis

170
00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:25,980
So Mr chairman and committee

171
00:06:27,530 --> 00:06:27,780
members all stand with PSP for

172
00:06:28,397 --> 00:06:28,647
any additional questions that

173
00:06:29,064 --> 00:06:29,314
you may have.

174
00:06:33,897 --> 00:06:34,147
with the presentation

175
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:38,280
we have truncated itm Chair to

176
00:06:41,497 --> 00:06:41,747

177
00:06:42,130 --> 00:06:42,380
we're happy to answer any

178
00:06:42,664 --> 00:06:42,914
questions

Mr Chair, thank you thank you. I

180
00:06:49,464 --> 00:06:49,714

181
00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:50,580
means to us so appreciate

182
00:06:50,864 --> 00:06:51,114
everyone involved.

183
00:06:54,597 --> 00:06:54,847
thank you Mrirpresentative Brown

184
00:06:55,230 --> 00:06:55,480
Representative Orego

thank you.

186
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:02,714
I we just came from visiting

187
00:07:05,530 --> 00:07:05,780
what was the name of it

188
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:06,880
Milbourneillbourne

189
00:07:13,997 --> 00:07:14,247
male born there we go. I said it

190
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:16,480
one of the things that struck

191
00:07:17,764 --> 00:07:18,014
me when I was driving and and I

192
00:07:19,964 --> 00:07:20,214
was talking to umpresentative

193
00:07:22,264 --> 00:07:22,514
Brown about it is that there's

194
00:07:25,497 --> 00:07:25,747
not a lot of housing out there

195
00:07:27,464 --> 00:07:27,714
like there's a so there's a lot

196
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:28,480
of trips being made from

197
00:07:31,764 --> 00:07:32,014
carlsbad to the sites and from

198
00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:34,580
I guess Hobbs to the sites

199
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:37,980
but like there's no real place

200
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:38,680
for people to you know

201
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:42,680
be housed and I wondered if you

202
00:07:43,097 --> 00:07:43,347
all have thought about

203
00:07:44,264 --> 00:07:44,514
that sort of

204
00:07:47,664 --> 00:07:47,914
future developments

205
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:50,480
for like workforce housing or

206
00:07:51,730 --> 00:07:51,980
something like that absolutely

207
00:07:53,964 --> 00:07:54,214
Mr Chairpresentativeerga, we

208
00:07:55,997 --> 00:07:56,247
have looked at that issue in

209
00:07:57,697 --> 00:07:57,947
fact when our organization was

210
00:07:59,697 --> 00:07:59,947
founded six years ago it was one

211
00:08:01,964 --> 00:08:02,214
of our key issues was looking at

212
00:08:03,497 --> 00:08:03,747
affordable housing and how to

213
00:08:04,197 --> 00:08:04,447
develop that in these

214
00:08:07,497 --> 00:08:07,747
communities. what we did find as

215
00:08:09,497 --> 00:08:09,747
a nonprofit organization was was

216
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:12,480
very difficult to help invest in

217
00:08:14,197 --> 00:08:14,447
property development that didn't

218
00:08:15,797 --> 00:08:16,047
leave us as property managers

219
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:17,780
which is not our area of

220
00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:18,314
expertise and

221
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:21,780
so we have changed our area of

222
00:08:22,264 --> 00:08:22,514
focus to no longer include

223
00:08:25,764 --> 00:08:26,014
housing and but we are open to

224
00:08:27,497 --> 00:08:27,747
conversations with local

225
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:28,480
governments to support the

226
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:30,480
projects that they are currently

227
00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:32,180
engaged in and it is my

228
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:33,780
understanding as well that

229
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:34,480
the mayor of Hobbs and the city

230
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:37,980
of Hobbs have recently unveiled

231
00:08:39,530 --> 00:08:39,780
some pretty exciting affordable

232
00:08:40,264 --> 00:08:40,514
housing programs and that the

233
00:08:41,997 --> 00:08:42,247
mayor of carlsbad also has some

234
00:08:43,764 --> 00:08:44,014
very ambitious affordable

235
00:08:45,564 --> 00:08:45,814
housing programs underway in

236
00:08:47,664 --> 00:08:47,914
those cities so the issue is not

237
00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:48,580
unnoticed

238
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:50,747
and certainly does contribute to

239
00:08:51,764 --> 00:08:52,014
the commuters on the road and

240
00:08:54,030 --> 00:08:54,280
the road safety issues what we

241
00:08:56,197 --> 00:08:56,447
have found as an organization is

242
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:58,480
that the local governments are

243
00:08:59,730 --> 00:08:59,980
the best equipped to support

244
00:09:01,730 --> 00:09:01,980
that that we are at the ready

245
00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:02,580
come bring us a project and

246
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:03,180
we'll look at it

247
00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:05,980
thank you for that thank you Mr

248
00:09:07,697 --> 00:09:07,947
Chair. I I just think that you

249
00:09:09,497 --> 00:09:09,747
know it would be great to to

250
00:09:12,197 --> 00:09:12,447
have less traffic on that road

251
00:09:14,264 --> 00:09:14,514
that was one thing that I did

252
00:09:17,764 --> 00:09:18,014
notice is that you know and

253
00:09:19,497 --> 00:09:19,747
it would probably help with air

254
00:09:20,264 --> 00:09:20,514
quality and a lot of other

255
00:09:23,497 --> 00:09:23,747
things that besides traffic but

256
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:24,580
traffic is definitely a safety

257
00:09:24,997 --> 00:09:25,247
issue there

258
00:09:26,197 --> 00:09:26,447
so thank you

259
00:09:28,197 --> 00:09:28,447
thank youpresentative. If I

260
00:09:30,364 --> 00:09:30,614
could remind the members to be

261
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:31,280
as

262
00:09:33,997 --> 00:09:34,247
concise in your questioning as

263
00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:36,480
possible and if it can wait for

264
00:09:38,030 --> 00:09:38,280
offline conversation I would

265
00:09:39,764 --> 00:09:40,014
encourage you to do that as well

266
00:09:41,497 --> 00:09:41,747
only because we're short on time

267
00:09:42,264 --> 00:09:42,514
and some of us have engagements

268
00:09:43,797 --> 00:09:44,047
in Albuquerque

269
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:46,880
so thank you members

270
00:09:49,897 --> 00:09:50,147
senator

271
00:09:51,964 --> 00:09:52,214
by shirt

272
00:09:58,264 --> 00:09:58,514
thank you Mr Chairman thank you

273
00:09:59,997 --> 00:10:00,247
M Brewer very much for for being

274
00:10:01,730 --> 00:10:01,980
here great to visit. could you

275
00:10:03,530 --> 00:10:03,780
refresh our memory with regards

276
00:10:04,264 --> 00:10:04,514
to your organization for example

277
00:10:06,264 --> 00:10:06,514
where is it housed is it virtual

278
00:10:09,464 --> 00:10:09,714
and how many businesses and

279
00:10:10,030 --> 00:10:10,280
local governments do you work

280
00:10:10,664 --> 00:10:10,914
with?

281
00:10:14,197 --> 00:10:14,447
thank you Mr Chair Mr vice chair

282
00:10:16,197 --> 00:10:16,447
the organization itself is

283
00:10:17,964 --> 00:10:18,214
physically housed in Midland,

284
00:10:19,997 --> 00:10:20,247
Texas because it is the largest

285
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:22,480
city in the permian basin so the

286
00:10:23,997 --> 00:10:24,247
area that we serve is the

287
00:10:25,997 --> 00:10:26,247
permian basin on both sides of

288
00:10:27,730 --> 00:10:27,980
the state line so the counties

289
00:10:29,730 --> 00:10:29,980
in west Texas that comprise the

290
00:10:31,497 --> 00:10:31,747
P permian basin as well as NH

291
00:10:33,497 --> 00:10:33,747
Chavison Lee County in southeast

292
00:10:35,530 --> 00:10:35,780
New Mexico. so unfortunately we

293
00:10:37,497 --> 00:10:37,747
are not an organization that can

294
00:10:39,464 --> 00:10:39,714
support the entire state but we

295
00:10:40,597 --> 00:10:40,847
are an organization that is very

296
00:10:41,264 --> 00:10:41,514
serious about rein

297
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:44,480
ve s ting in these counties in

298
00:10:45,964 --> 00:10:46,214
order to make improvements

299
00:10:48,197 --> 00:10:48,447
within the areas of

300
00:10:49,997 --> 00:10:50,247
healthcare education, road

301
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:52,480
safety and workforce development

302
00:10:54,297 --> 00:10:54,547
and we are our member

303
00:10:56,197 --> 00:10:56,447
organizations are oil and gas

304
00:10:57,964 --> 00:10:58,214
companies some of them are the

305
00:11:00,197 --> 00:11:00,447
major players the the big

306
00:11:01,863 --> 00:11:02,113
ones that we've all heard of as

307
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:04,080
well as smaller local companies

308
00:11:05,997 --> 00:11:06,247
that support oil and gas here

309
00:11:08,263 --> 00:11:08,513
we also have two university

310
00:11:09,763 --> 00:11:10,013
systems they're both out of

311
00:11:10,563 --> 00:11:10,813
Texas. that does not mean I am

312
00:11:11,230 --> 00:11:11,480
not constantly

313
00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:13,980
in conversation with the

314
00:11:15,497 --> 00:11:15,747
University of New Mexico and at

315
00:11:16,163 --> 00:11:16,413
some point these things may

316
00:11:18,430 --> 00:11:18,680
change but each member

317
00:11:21,497 --> 00:11:21,747
organization provides based on

318
00:11:23,697 --> 00:11:23,947
their level of membership pay

319
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:26,480
into a buy into the organization

320
00:11:29,530 --> 00:11:29,780
that allows us to bring that

321
00:11:30,197 --> 00:11:30,447
money together and leverage it

322
00:11:32,263 --> 00:11:32,513
for even larger investments and

323
00:11:35,797 --> 00:11:36,047
so an example of what we do in

324
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:37,780
aggregating that money from

325
00:11:38,263 --> 00:11:38,513
companies we were able to

326
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:40,480
invest10 million dollars in the

327
00:11:40,930 --> 00:11:41,180
CTE school here in Hobbs

328
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:44,480
that10 million dollars combined

329
00:11:45,730 --> 00:11:45,980
with money from the city and the

330
00:11:47,963 --> 00:11:48,213
county as well as from other

331
00:11:51,497 --> 00:11:51,747
funding partners allowed for the

332
00:11:53,730 --> 00:11:53,980
entire facility to be built

333
00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:55,747
and to be put in place and now

334
00:11:57,463 --> 00:11:57,713
providing an excellent CT

335
00:11:59,497 --> 00:11:59,747
resource for this part of the

336
00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:00,480
state so those are the kinds of

337
00:12:02,263 --> 00:12:02,513
things that we look into and

338
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:04,480
that is how we're funded we

339
00:12:06,030 --> 00:12:06,280
certainly would encourage other

340
00:12:08,263 --> 00:12:08,513
industries to consider

341
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:10,513
creating similar

342
00:12:10,630 --> 00:12:10,880
organizations. Our CEO spends a

343
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:11,547
lot of time

344
00:12:13,997 --> 00:12:14,247
traveling the country sharing

345
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:16,480
this model with other

346
00:12:17,963 --> 00:12:18,213
organizations and other business

347
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:20,280
enterprises but part of the

348
00:12:21,463 --> 00:12:21,713
reason we wanted to be here

349
00:12:22,197 --> 00:12:22,447
today is to make sure everyone

350
00:12:24,197 --> 00:12:24,447
knows that this is a model that

351
00:12:26,197 --> 00:12:26,447
works that has been working for

352
00:12:30,197 --> 00:12:30,447
six years and has led to

353
00:12:31,497 --> 00:12:31,747
billions of dollars in

354
00:12:33,530 --> 00:12:33,780
investment in the permian basin.

355
00:12:35,563 --> 00:12:35,813
everything from paying for

356
00:12:36,163 --> 00:12:36,413
teachers to get their national

357
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:38,480
board certification to funding

358
00:12:39,963 --> 00:12:40,213
this great program that Chief

359
00:12:40,597 --> 00:12:40,847
Mac is putting into place to

360
00:12:41,263 --> 00:12:41,513
make sure

361
00:12:42,630 --> 00:12:42,880
that when

362
00:12:45,697 --> 00:12:45,947
an accident does happen on

363
00:12:47,963 --> 00:12:48,213
highway128 that we can get

364
00:12:49,963 --> 00:12:50,213
immediate services there or if

365
00:12:51,763 --> 00:12:52,013
it's a minor incident in a flat

366
00:12:52,463 --> 00:12:52,713
tire or something like that get

367
00:12:53,963 --> 00:12:54,213
folks off the road and get them

368
00:12:55,697 --> 00:12:55,947
safe quicker to keep our

369
00:12:57,463 --> 00:12:57,713
communities functioning better

370
00:12:58,197 --> 00:12:58,447
so we're looking for anything

371
00:12:59,763 --> 00:13:00,013
and everything within our issue

372
00:13:00,497 --> 00:13:00,747
areas that we can help support

373
00:13:03,997 --> 00:13:04,247
ant as tic thank you and thanks

374
00:13:05,497 --> 00:13:05,747
for your initiative and your

375
00:13:06,263 --> 00:13:06,513
leadership in putting all this

376
00:13:08,263 --> 00:13:08,513
together so I won't ask you

377
00:13:10,263 --> 00:13:10,513
specifics but is it fair to say

378
00:13:10,897 --> 00:13:11,147
there's policies

379
00:13:15,497 --> 00:13:15,747
that work in one state better

380
00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:17,980
than in the other state? Well,

381
00:13:19,730 --> 00:13:19,980
Mr Chair Mr Vice chairir, I

382
00:13:20,363 --> 00:13:20,613
would always say that the

383
00:13:21,963 --> 00:13:22,213
policies in New Mexico are

384
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:24,480
better but that is because

385
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:26,480
it's my job to work for Psp on

386
00:13:29,763 --> 00:13:30,013
the New Mexico side there is

387
00:13:31,930 --> 00:13:32,180
always room for improvement and

388
00:13:33,497 --> 00:13:33,747
further development with public

389
00:13:35,997 --> 00:13:36,247
private partnership language

390
00:13:37,497 --> 00:13:37,747
the capabilities is providing

391
00:13:39,530 --> 00:13:39,780
clarification there so that we

392
00:13:40,263 --> 00:13:40,513
can partner more directly with

393
00:13:41,663 --> 00:13:41,913
more entities. what we

394
00:13:44,297 --> 00:13:44,547
have found is that working with

395
00:13:46,263 --> 00:13:46,513
local governments is one of

396
00:13:48,263 --> 00:13:48,513
our most direct routes into

397
00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:50,447
communities state government is

398
00:13:53,497 --> 00:13:53,747
a little bit more cumbersome and

399
00:13:55,497 --> 00:13:55,747
we do also work with nonprofit

400
00:13:57,730 --> 00:13:57,980
organizations so as you are

401
00:13:59,997 --> 00:14:00,247
considering legislation in

402
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:02,480
the regular session a

403
00:14:05,730 --> 00:14:05,980
particulari to legislation that

404
00:14:06,463 --> 00:14:06,713
supports public private

405
00:14:09,463 --> 00:14:09,713
partnerships could help other

406
00:14:11,497 --> 00:14:11,747
organizations including ours

407
00:14:12,197 --> 00:14:12,447
engage

408
00:14:15,997 --> 00:14:16,247
more directly but we could be a

409
00:14:18,263 --> 00:14:18,513
unique or nontraditional partner

410
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:20,280
in your work to ident in this

411
00:14:21,997 --> 00:14:22,247
committee's work to identify

412
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:24,247
funding resources and

413
00:14:25,763 --> 00:14:26,013
opportunities for transportation

414
00:14:27,530 --> 00:14:27,780
and road safety in the state

415
00:14:28,297 --> 00:14:28,547
which has been a challenge over

416
00:14:30,263 --> 00:14:30,513
the years. We cannot pay for a

417
00:14:33,497 --> 00:14:33,747
mile of blacktop but we can

418
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:36,480
certainly invest in work zone

419
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:38,580
speed cameras and those kinds of

420
00:14:40,063 --> 00:14:40,313
projects that can make a real

421
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:41,880
difference in saving lives in

422
00:14:42,297 --> 00:14:42,547
the community and

423
00:14:43,697 --> 00:14:43,947
among folks who are working on

424
00:14:44,363 --> 00:14:44,613
our streets

425
00:14:47,597 --> 00:14:47,847
thank you Mr Chairman. thank you

426
00:14:48,297 --> 00:14:48,547
M Bre and then yeah I'll ask ask

427
00:14:49,763 --> 00:14:50,013
you offline I've heard that

428
00:14:53,563 --> 00:14:53,813
company that works with both

429
00:14:55,497 --> 00:14:55,747
Texas DOT and New Mexico DOT

430
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:57,780
prefers to work with the Texas

431
00:14:58,130 --> 00:14:58,380
Department of Transportation

432
00:14:59,963 --> 00:15:00,213
even though it's a much larger

433
00:15:03,463 --> 00:15:03,713
system apparently they're just

434
00:15:04,097 --> 00:15:04,347
easier to work with but I'm sure

435
00:15:06,197 --> 00:15:06,447
there's stuff that we do that

436
00:15:07,963 --> 00:15:08,213
works best but there's stuff

437
00:15:09,697 --> 00:15:09,947
that probablyex does that works

438
00:15:10,363 --> 00:15:10,613
best and it'd be

439
00:15:13,697 --> 00:15:13,947
it'd be beneficial for the

440
00:15:15,463 --> 00:15:15,713
permian to ben to benefit from

441
00:15:17,530 --> 00:15:17,780
those two policy choices but

442
00:15:18,197 --> 00:15:18,447
anyway thank you Mr Chairman

443
00:15:18,763 --> 00:15:19,013

sure that we have contact for

448
00:15:28,263 --> 00:15:28,513
for these folks so that if they

449
00:15:31,497 --> 00:15:31,747
wish to ask more questions or

450
00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:32,380
engage somehow they can

451
00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:35,980
do that thank you Mr chair and

so this is gonna be a a a a

463
00:16:11,997 --> 00:16:12,247

southeast New Mexico I'm

00:16:28,263 --> 00:16:28,513
southeast New Mexico so if you

473
00:16:29,663 --> 00:16:29,913
want to turn to page two just

474
00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:30,580
briefly

475
00:16:32,263 --> 00:16:32,513
tell you about our district you

476
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:34,480
our primary counties we serve

477
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:37,746
arechavez, Lincoln Artero, Eddie

478
00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:39,980
Lee, Rrosevelt urrie Debaca and

479
00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:41,780
slight we barely touched

480
00:16:43,730 --> 00:16:43,980
Guadalupe torrance's coral but

481
00:16:45,463 --> 00:16:45,713
they are in our district but on

482
00:16:47,496 --> 00:16:47,746
this page I want to highlight a

483
00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:49,980
couple of things our district

484
00:16:51,763 --> 00:16:52,013
as you can see is is southeast

485
00:16:53,763 --> 00:16:54,013
New Mexico very diverse but we

486
00:16:54,496 --> 00:16:54,746
are the largest district by

487
00:16:58,296 --> 00:16:58,546
landmass and by lay miles7,700

488
00:16:59,730 --> 00:16:59,980
lane miles so that's every mile

489
00:17:02,196 --> 00:17:02,446
of payment we have out there

490
00:17:05,496 --> 00:17:05,746
it's if we went by center

491
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:06,480
lane miles down the center of

492
00:17:07,763 --> 00:17:08,013
all these highways you know you

493
00:17:09,763 --> 00:17:10,013
get3,500 lane miles as a state

494
00:17:12,263 --> 00:17:12,513
we're at31,000 center lane

495
00:17:15,763 --> 00:17:16,013
iles15,000 I was at a recent

496
00:17:16,363 --> 00:17:16,613
conference

497
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:19,980
with the western association

498
00:17:22,196 --> 00:17:22,446
of state you dont you dont Utah

499
00:17:25,963 --> 00:17:26,213
DOT maintains5600 cider lane

500
00:17:29,763 --> 00:17:30,013
miles. Arizona5600 we are almost

501
00:17:31,763 --> 00:17:32,013
double the size of those states

502
00:17:33,496 --> 00:17:33,746
and they're very comparable to

503
00:17:35,763 --> 00:17:36,013
us if you go where it says

504
00:17:37,996 --> 00:17:38,246
Fy27 budget we have a total

505
00:17:39,763 --> 00:17:40,013
operating budget of52 million.

506
00:17:41,496 --> 00:17:41,746
the two categories I want to

507
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:42,480
highlight is the ones that say

508
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:44,246
contract maintenance and fieldel

509
00:17:46,063 --> 00:17:46,313
supplies so you roughly 8.1 and

510
00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:46,980
and

511
00:17:51,496 --> 00:17:51,746
48 those are what we do the bulk

512
00:17:53,496 --> 00:17:53,746
of our our maintenance so the

513
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:54,480
contract maintenance is the

514
00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:56,480
contractors we hire and the

515
00:17:57,696 --> 00:17:57,946
fuel supplies is what our staff

516
00:17:59,730 --> 00:17:59,980
uses to maintain the roads where

517
00:18:01,496 --> 00:18:01,746
there's the garra we put the

518
00:18:04,196 --> 00:18:04,446
signs the salt we use and you

519
00:18:05,730 --> 00:18:05,980
know with 8 million in contract

520
00:18:06,563 --> 00:18:06,813
maintenance is not a lot you

521
00:18:07,196 --> 00:18:07,446
know

522
00:18:10,263 --> 00:18:10,513
a maintenance treatment can vary

523
00:18:13,496 --> 00:18:13,746
from100,000 to500,000 a lane

524
00:18:15,763 --> 00:18:16,013
mile so you know 8 million

525
00:18:16,463 --> 00:18:16,713
doesn't really take us a long

526
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:18,480
way annually but if we've

527
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:20,480
been very grateful for the one

528
00:18:21,796 --> 00:18:22,046
time funding we have been

529
00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:23,980
getting through the house bills

530
00:18:25,496 --> 00:18:25,746
right now currently at

531
00:18:27,963 --> 00:18:28,213
district wo we employ325

532
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:30,480
employees with 65 vacancies so

533
00:18:33,763 --> 00:18:34,013
that's close to a 9/9 point

534
00:18:35,730 --> 00:18:35,980
vacancy rate we have made

535
00:18:36,530 --> 00:18:36,780
some tremendous changes

536
00:18:37,096 --> 00:18:37,346
through our acting cabinet

537
00:18:37,630 --> 00:18:37,880
secretary

538
00:18:41,963 --> 00:18:42,213
and currently we have48

539
00:18:43,963 --> 00:18:44,213
positions in process either

540
00:18:45,996 --> 00:18:46,246
advertising or ready to hire so

541
00:18:46,663 --> 00:18:46,913
we'll see that go down

542
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:50,380
on page three page the following

543
00:18:55,496 --> 00:18:55,746
pages3,4 and5 and6 those are the

544
00:18:57,496 --> 00:18:57,746
summary of all the house bills

545
00:18:59,763 --> 00:19:00,013
that have been passed since 2021

546
00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:01,980
House Billwo I won't go through

547
00:19:02,396 --> 00:19:02,646
all of them you can see the list

548
00:19:03,963 --> 00:19:04,213
but just want to highlight a few

549
00:19:07,496 --> 00:19:07,746
you know in 2021 we we were we

550
00:19:08,163 --> 00:19:08,413
were lucky enough to get the 21

551
00:19:11,463 --> 00:19:11,713
million for that US60 project

552
00:19:13,730 --> 00:19:13,980
and this is for construction our

553
00:19:14,430 --> 00:19:14,680
major project when we get

554
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:16,113
something like this even as a

555
00:19:16,563 --> 00:19:16,813
one time funding

556
00:19:19,496 --> 00:19:19,746
it really helps us fast track

557
00:19:21,496 --> 00:19:21,746
and expedite these projects so

558
00:19:22,196 --> 00:19:22,446
if we want to receive that 21

559
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:24,513
million it sped up the

560
00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:26,480
schedule by two years and so

561
00:19:28,163 --> 00:19:28,413
that's very helpful as you go

562
00:19:28,863 --> 00:19:29,113
through these

563
00:19:33,963 --> 00:19:34,213
various years 90% of it is for

564
00:19:35,496 --> 00:19:35,746
our contract or maintenance

565
00:19:37,496 --> 00:19:37,746
processes so the majority of

566
00:19:38,196 --> 00:19:38,446
these contracted jobs that you

567
00:19:41,463 --> 00:19:41,713
don't see here see here we're

568
00:19:42,163 --> 00:19:42,413
done by our maintenance

569
00:19:43,930 --> 00:19:44,180
contractors we do have some

570
00:19:45,563 --> 00:19:45,813
funds in here that win our

571
00:19:46,463 --> 00:19:46,713
construction projects if you

572
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:48,480
drove the highway from roswell

573
00:19:50,196 --> 00:19:50,446
to Tatum there was house bill

574
00:19:51,963 --> 00:19:52,213
provided the design funding for

575
00:19:54,196 --> 00:19:54,446
that and so that was a have

576
00:19:57,496 --> 00:19:57,746
us able to design that a

577
00:19:58,196 --> 00:19:58,446
portion of the house bills is

578
00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:59,080
also in our construction

579
00:19:59,363 --> 00:19:59,613
projects down in

580
00:20:01,963 --> 00:20:02,213
ja il and and one in New

581
00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:04,480
Mexico128 but of all the money

582
00:20:06,263 --> 00:20:06,513
we've we've received we spent

583
00:20:09,496 --> 00:20:09,746
over 90% of it the the remaining

584
00:20:10,130 --> 00:20:10,380
is what's on those construction

585
00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:11,080
projects

586
00:20:15,996 --> 00:20:16,246
so if you go to page 6 you'll

587
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:18,180
see what was passed this year in

588
00:20:18,663 --> 00:20:18,913
in HB2

589
00:20:22,030 --> 00:20:22,280
most of these are still in

590
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:24,080
progress or pending but that's

591
00:20:26,063 --> 00:20:26,313
the list of the the150 million

592
00:20:28,030 --> 00:20:28,280
that was passed each district

593
00:20:30,263 --> 00:20:30,513
received20 million out of the

594
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:32,280
the bill and that's our list for

595
00:20:36,096 --> 00:20:36,346
2027 below is the map of all

596
00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:38,280
the house bill funds as you can

597
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:40,280
see how it's been distributed

598
00:20:42,130 --> 00:20:42,380
around District wo we try to be

599
00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:43,080
equitable

600
00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:45,780
to all communities all areas but

601
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:47,746
as you can see a lot of the

602
00:20:48,463 --> 00:20:48,713
money is coming down here to the

603
00:20:50,030 --> 00:20:50,280
southeast corner of the

604
00:20:51,996 --> 00:20:52,246
southeast because that's

605
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:52,880
where the need is here in

606
00:20:53,163 --> 00:20:53,413
district two

607
00:20:59,763 --> 00:21:00,013
page se this is our active

608
00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:04,280
construction projects over33

609
00:21:05,763 --> 00:21:06,013
million dollars worth of

610
00:21:07,530 --> 00:21:07,780
projects we have several

611
00:21:11,496 --> 00:21:11,746
large ones the74142 those are

612
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:12,480
the passing lanes that you see

613
00:21:14,263 --> 00:21:14,513
out there if you drove in from

614
00:21:16,296 --> 00:21:16,546
roswell we've recently

615
00:21:17,730 --> 00:21:17,980
completed the first phase in

616
00:21:20,130 --> 00:21:20,380
clovis1351 and we just

617
00:21:23,730 --> 00:21:23,980
we bid or let we call

618
00:21:26,296 --> 00:21:26,546
letting1352 last month so you'll

619
00:21:28,296 --> 00:21:28,546
see that in construction so

620
00:21:30,263 --> 00:21:30,513
those are you know large large

621
00:21:33,763 --> 00:21:34,013
multimillion dollar projects and

622
00:21:35,763 --> 00:21:36,013
so we've kind of transitioned in

623
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:37,780
the last10 years. The average

624
00:21:39,563 --> 00:21:39,813
construction project in District

625
00:21:43,530 --> 00:21:43,780
2 or NM2 NMdlT was really7 to15

626
00:21:45,530 --> 00:21:45,780
million but the influx of

627
00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:46,480
whether the bonds that you

628
00:21:48,263 --> 00:21:48,513
passed or the additional

629
00:21:50,063 --> 00:21:50,313
house bill funds our

630
00:21:50,496 --> 00:21:50,746
construction program

631
00:21:53,630 --> 00:21:53,880
is really focused on major

632
00:21:55,763 --> 00:21:56,013
improvements with that comes

633
00:21:57,796 --> 00:21:58,046
great great progress but some

634
00:22:00,330 --> 00:22:00,580
challenges fornMDT we just

635
00:22:02,063 --> 00:22:02,313
don't have as many projects at

636
00:22:04,030 --> 00:22:04,280
one time for the district so

637
00:22:05,563 --> 00:22:05,813
it's really been a challenge

638
00:22:06,296 --> 00:22:06,546
with construction staff trying

639
00:22:08,029 --> 00:22:08,279
to keep the workload spread

640
00:22:10,296 --> 00:22:10,546
across the district but we were

641
00:22:12,063 --> 00:22:12,313
able to supplement a lot of our

642
00:22:14,263 --> 00:22:14,513
our rehab and payment projects

643
00:22:16,029 --> 00:22:16,279
that would go to construction

644
00:22:17,596 --> 00:22:17,846
now through the house bill going

645
00:22:18,296 --> 00:22:18,546
through our contract maintenance

646
00:22:22,729 --> 00:22:22,979
if you go to

647
00:22:28,029 --> 00:22:28,279
page 8 of this is last year's fy

648
00:22:29,763 --> 00:22:30,013
26 completed contract

649
00:22:31,729 --> 00:22:31,979
maintenance projects over14

650
00:22:32,363 --> 00:22:32,613
million

651
00:22:35,496 --> 00:22:35,746
below that is this year's

652
00:22:36,063 --> 00:22:36,313
contract maintenance and this is

653
00:22:37,829 --> 00:22:38,079
a combination of the 8.1 that I

654
00:22:40,063 --> 00:22:40,313
spoke about on page two and the

655
00:22:41,763 --> 00:22:42,013
house bill funding that we

656
00:22:43,729 --> 00:22:43,979
received this year so as you can

657
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:44,613
see

658
00:22:46,263 --> 00:22:46,513
a lot of different treatments

659
00:22:49,829 --> 00:22:50,079
a lot of different contractors

660
00:22:51,496 --> 00:22:51,746
of course a lot of these are to

661
00:22:52,296 --> 00:22:52,546
be determined but one thing

662
00:22:54,363 --> 00:22:54,613
that's really helped us as a

663
00:22:57,529 --> 00:22:57,779
state with the additional one

664
00:23:00,063 --> 00:23:00,313
time appropriations is we as

665
00:23:02,296 --> 00:23:02,546
engineers as the Dlt you you

666
00:23:04,329 --> 00:23:04,579
know we want to keep our good

667
00:23:06,296 --> 00:23:06,546
payments good and and that gives

668
00:23:08,063 --> 00:23:08,313
us the best value for our money

669
00:23:09,529 --> 00:23:09,779
and we haven't really been able

670
00:23:11,529 --> 00:23:11,779
to do that but with this

671
00:23:12,329 --> 00:23:12,579
additional money we're able to

672
00:23:13,796 --> 00:23:14,046
do those treatments early on

673
00:23:16,363 --> 00:23:16,613
when the highways510 years and

674
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:17,313
able to get

675
00:23:19,763 --> 00:23:20,013
the cost value out of them for

676
00:23:21,496 --> 00:23:21,746
the longest time we're just at

677
00:23:23,529 --> 00:23:23,779
the end of life cycle trying to

678
00:23:25,496 --> 00:23:25,746
hold on so this additional money

679
00:23:27,496 --> 00:23:27,746
has really helped us and our

680
00:23:29,496 --> 00:23:29,746
assets asset management program

681
00:23:30,229 --> 00:23:30,479
that we're trying to really do

682
00:23:30,863 --> 00:23:31,113
here in the state of New Mexico.

683
00:23:34,229 --> 00:23:34,479
if you go to page nine this

684
00:23:36,229 --> 00:23:36,479
is our four year state

685
00:23:37,629 --> 00:23:37,879
transportation improvement

686
00:23:38,196 --> 00:23:38,446
programme

687
00:23:40,296 --> 00:23:40,546
of course this is the four years

688
00:23:43,529 --> 00:23:43,779
of physic constraint projects

689
00:23:45,763 --> 00:23:46,013
that are scheduled to be let.

690
00:23:47,763 --> 00:23:48,013
it's our promise to the public

691
00:23:48,529 --> 00:23:48,779
and we are to deliver in the

692
00:23:50,296 --> 00:23:50,546
four years so this is our four

693
00:23:53,529 --> 00:23:53,779
year st step in January we'll be

694
00:23:55,763 --> 00:23:56,013
going to the next four years

695
00:23:57,763 --> 00:23:58,013
but as you can see every year

696
00:23:59,496 --> 00:23:59,746
we're over100 million in

697
00:24:00,529 --> 00:24:00,779
projects a lot of it is our

698
00:24:02,029 --> 00:24:02,279
federal funding but a a lot of

699
00:24:04,029 --> 00:24:04,279
is part of the bonds that we

700
00:24:06,029 --> 00:24:06,279
just passed recently this year

701
00:24:07,729 --> 00:24:07,979
and in the s severance tax posit

702
00:24:08,429 --> 00:24:08,679
pass

703
00:24:09,596 --> 00:24:09,846
a couple of years ago

704
00:24:12,229 --> 00:24:12,479
and so that's a four year st

705
00:24:12,796 --> 00:24:13,046
step

706
00:24:18,296 --> 00:24:18,546
if you go to page10 you have

707
00:24:20,263 --> 00:24:20,513
the 2029 planning year so

708
00:24:21,763 --> 00:24:22,013
anything in the planning years

709
00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:24,279
will move into the next four

710
00:24:25,996 --> 00:24:26,246
year cycle just want to

711
00:24:27,563 --> 00:24:27,813
highlight that couple of those

712
00:24:29,496 --> 00:24:29,746
of course is the top one is the

713
00:24:33,496 --> 00:24:33,746
210291 that's downtown Texaco

714
00:24:36,029 --> 00:24:36,279
that's a $91 million project

715
00:24:36,629 --> 00:24:36,879
that's going to be happening

716
00:24:38,296 --> 00:24:38,546
we're partnering withex dot we

717
00:24:39,796 --> 00:24:40,046
received a70 million dollars

718
00:24:42,063 --> 00:24:42,313
grant from the railroaded

719
00:24:43,663 --> 00:24:43,913
railroad grant to do that

720
00:24:44,196 --> 00:24:44,446
project.

721
00:24:46,463 --> 00:24:46,713
and and of course you'll see

722
00:24:48,296 --> 00:24:48,546
some of the the additional

723
00:24:49,796 --> 00:24:50,046
projects that we're trying to

724
00:24:53,563 --> 00:24:53,813
continue on on that section and

725
00:24:54,196 --> 00:24:54,446
then unfunded priorities

726
00:24:55,996 --> 00:24:56,246
you know the number one priority

727
00:24:59,529 --> 00:24:59,779
of district two is New Mexico128

728
00:25:03,496 --> 00:25:03,746
New Mexico31 and US380 and we

729
00:25:04,263 --> 00:25:04,513
have construction projects and

730
00:25:06,229 --> 00:25:06,479
all those corridors New

731
00:25:09,496 --> 00:25:09,746
Mexico in 28 we have152 million

732
00:25:10,129 --> 00:25:10,379
occurring right now or

733
00:25:13,763 --> 00:25:14,013
100 million now and52 million

734
00:25:15,496 --> 00:25:15,746
next year but as you can see an

735
00:25:17,496 --> 00:25:17,746
unfunded priorities we still

736
00:25:19,763 --> 00:25:20,013
have sections on380 that needs

737
00:25:21,496 --> 00:25:21,746
to be completed and we have

738
00:25:22,529 --> 00:25:22,779
sections on128 that still need

739
00:25:24,329 --> 00:25:24,579
to be needed and so in New

740
00:25:26,263 --> 00:25:26,513
Mexico the way we build these

741
00:25:29,496 --> 00:25:29,746
large large scale corridors is

742
00:25:31,496 --> 00:25:31,746
in phases you know of course

743
00:25:33,496 --> 00:25:33,746
it'd be it'd be wonderful to

744
00:25:35,529 --> 00:25:35,779
get50 million to do all of New

745
00:25:39,529 --> 00:25:39,779
Mexico128 but we understand

746
00:25:40,363 --> 00:25:40,613
there's challenges there and so

747
00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:41,279
we build them in phases

748
00:25:43,963 --> 00:25:44,213
and the prior the way we're

749
00:25:45,696 --> 00:25:45,946
prioritizing a US380 and New

750
00:25:49,696 --> 00:25:49,946
Mexico128 is really where the

751
00:25:51,463 --> 00:25:51,713
accident's happening so the

752
00:25:52,163 --> 00:25:52,413
segments that you see out there

753
00:25:54,029 --> 00:25:54,279
in380 those have the highest

754
00:25:56,229 --> 00:25:56,479
crash rates in the same on on

755
00:25:59,529 --> 00:25:59,779
New Mexico128 and of course we

756
00:26:00,229 --> 00:26:00,479
have our major project in the

757
00:26:02,063 --> 00:26:02,313
city of jail and that's really

758
00:26:03,829 --> 00:26:04,079
for the congestion that goes

759
00:26:04,463 --> 00:26:04,713
through there with the number of

760
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:05,446
trucks

761
00:26:09,996 --> 00:26:10,246
on page11 this is this year's

762
00:26:11,763 --> 00:26:12,013
this year's TPF for

763
00:26:13,729 --> 00:26:13,979
transportation project funds

764
00:26:14,296 --> 00:26:14,546
these are the communities that

765
00:26:14,996 --> 00:26:15,246
were selected

766
00:26:18,229 --> 00:26:18,479
very proud of this program

767
00:26:20,229 --> 00:26:20,479
prior to this implement

768
00:26:21,829 --> 00:26:22,079
implementation of the TPF

769
00:26:23,563 --> 00:26:23,813
commuters would fight for

770
00:26:24,163 --> 00:26:24,413
federal funding or federal

771
00:26:25,996 --> 00:26:26,246
grants the district would

772
00:26:27,996 --> 00:26:28,246
provide some of their internal

773
00:26:30,029 --> 00:26:30,279
federal funding and it was very

774
00:26:32,296 --> 00:26:32,546
competitive and you saw the same

775
00:26:34,263 --> 00:26:34,513
community year in year out get

776
00:26:35,829 --> 00:26:36,079
them and it was generally the

777
00:26:38,063 --> 00:26:38,313
larger municipalities and so the

778
00:26:41,529 --> 00:26:41,779
TPF is really changed it for

779
00:26:43,496 --> 00:26:43,746
everybody across the state

780
00:26:44,229 --> 00:26:44,479
especially New Mexan disstrict

781
00:26:44,863 --> 00:26:45,113
two and I'm so proud of

782
00:26:47,763 --> 00:26:48,013
this year's selections you can

783
00:26:49,763 --> 00:26:50,013
see you got the Hagermans this

784
00:26:51,529 --> 00:26:51,779
forummners theelroses tellula

785
00:26:55,529 --> 00:26:55,779
rosa Ortero County it's just

786
00:26:56,263 --> 00:26:56,513
communities you wouldn't see get

787
00:26:58,029 --> 00:26:58,279
money so that program's been

788
00:27:00,263 --> 00:27:00,513
such a benefit so thank you

789
00:27:01,763 --> 00:27:02,013
for that and thank you for

790
00:27:02,396 --> 00:27:02,646
passing the additional funds for

791
00:27:03,096 --> 00:27:03,346
that program

792
00:27:09,996 --> 00:27:10,246
so if you turn it page 12 this

793
00:27:11,996 --> 00:27:12,246
is just a map of all the TPF

794
00:27:14,196 --> 00:27:14,446
funding since 2023 as you can

795
00:27:17,496 --> 00:27:17,746
see we've done a good job or the

796
00:27:18,229 --> 00:27:18,479
community has done a good job of

797
00:27:19,996 --> 00:27:20,246
working with our southeast

798
00:27:21,763 --> 00:27:22,013
regional transportation

799
00:27:24,029 --> 00:27:24,279
planninggan organization

800
00:27:26,229 --> 00:27:26,479
coming coming forward getting

801
00:27:27,963 --> 00:27:28,213
involved in the process as you

802
00:27:29,996 --> 00:27:30,246
can see communities across

803
00:27:31,963 --> 00:27:32,213
district who are actively in the

804
00:27:34,029 --> 00:27:34,279
TPF program and we've awarded

805
00:27:34,663 --> 00:27:34,913
across southeast New Mexico.

806
00:27:38,596 --> 00:27:38,846
briefly just page13

807
00:27:43,529 --> 00:27:43,779
uh14 and1f that's our local

808
00:27:45,762 --> 00:27:46,012
government road fund selections

809
00:27:48,229 --> 00:27:48,479
for 27 as you can see it it's

810
00:27:51,729 --> 00:27:51,979
quite similar to the TPf where

811
00:27:53,529 --> 00:27:53,779
the funds are distributed to

812
00:27:54,396 --> 00:27:54,646
communities across southeast New

813
00:27:55,062 --> 00:27:55,312
Mexico.

814
00:28:01,729 --> 00:28:01,979
so page six is the map of the

815
00:28:05,996 --> 00:28:06,246
LGRf for 2026 and and we'll be

816
00:28:06,696 --> 00:28:06,946
out in 2027 here shortly

817
00:28:10,229 --> 00:28:10,479
and then finally we have

818
00:28:14,229 --> 00:28:14,479
page17 equipment needs we're

819
00:28:15,796 --> 00:28:16,046
desperately in need of of

820
00:28:16,329 --> 00:28:16,579
equipment

821
00:28:16,579 --> 00:28:16,829
of

822
00:28:19,796 --> 00:28:20,046
if your most of you are probably

823
00:28:21,996 --> 00:28:22,246
aware of the we had a horrible

824
00:28:23,796 --> 00:28:24,046
snowstorm this year in in

825
00:28:24,362 --> 00:28:24,612
southeastern Mexico especially

826
00:28:26,462 --> 00:28:26,712
down in this area very icy

827
00:28:27,762 --> 00:28:28,012
conditions the highways were

828
00:28:29,996 --> 00:28:30,246
shut down for two or three days

829
00:28:31,996 --> 00:28:32,246
just to put in perspective

830
00:28:33,729 --> 00:28:33,979
our hospital patrol they

831
00:28:35,729 --> 00:28:35,979
maintain about 800 miles of

832
00:28:36,629 --> 00:28:36,879
highway here in this area

833
00:28:41,729 --> 00:28:41,979
ive that's some snow loza and5

834
00:28:43,829 --> 00:28:44,079
for 800 miles so

835
00:28:47,762 --> 00:28:48,012
a lot of challenges with that

836
00:28:49,762 --> 00:28:50,012
you know it shuts down the area

837
00:28:50,529 --> 00:28:50,779
so we're desperately need more

838
00:28:52,029 --> 00:28:52,279
equipment and all these patrols

839
00:28:53,796 --> 00:28:54,046
and this is kind of our list

840
00:28:55,996 --> 00:28:56,246
that we we see the needs that we

841
00:28:58,262 --> 00:28:58,512
can impact the communities

842
00:28:59,796 --> 00:29:00,046
the best so that's our equipment

843
00:29:00,462 --> 00:29:00,712
list for district 2.

844
00:29:02,529 --> 00:29:02,779
Mr Chair

845
00:29:04,362 --> 00:29:04,612
committee members, I stand for

846
00:29:05,029 --> 00:29:05,279
questions

847
00:29:07,729 --> 00:29:07,979
thank you first we

848
00:29:08,329 --> 00:29:08,579
havepresentative Senna Cortez

849
00:29:11,996 --> 00:29:12,246
thank you so much Mr Chair and

850
00:29:13,529 --> 00:29:13,779
Mister Sanchez thank you for

851
00:29:15,529 --> 00:29:15,779
your expertise and your very

852
00:29:16,262 --> 00:29:16,512
thorough but succinct

853
00:29:19,729 --> 00:29:19,979
presentation I do have a

854
00:29:22,296 --> 00:29:22,546
question regarding highway 82

855
00:29:25,496 --> 00:29:25,746
from Levington to Artesia

856
00:29:27,496 --> 00:29:27,746
there's like about a30 mile

857
00:29:28,229 --> 00:29:28,479
radius you probably know better

858
00:29:31,529 --> 00:29:31,779
than than I would do we have

859
00:29:32,496 --> 00:29:32,746
any timeline on making that part

860
00:29:35,496 --> 00:29:35,746
four lane as well Mr Chair

861
00:29:37,796 --> 00:29:38,046
Representative it was it is

862
00:29:38,362 --> 00:29:38,612
listed in the unfunded priority

863
00:29:41,529 --> 00:29:41,779
I should have highlighted

864
00:29:45,496 --> 00:29:45,746
that so we are under not

865
00:29:46,296 --> 00:29:46,546
under contract yet but we've

866
00:29:49,529 --> 00:29:49,779
gone out to RFP for the design

867
00:29:51,529 --> 00:29:51,779
and so we want to get the plans

868
00:29:53,529 --> 00:29:53,779
in place and then seek funding

869
00:29:54,329 --> 00:29:54,579
but right now that portion

870
00:29:56,296 --> 00:29:56,546
between Levington and where the

871
00:29:58,262 --> 00:29:58,512
improvements finish andaljabar

872
00:30:00,396 --> 00:30:00,646
that area local hills is

873
00:30:00,962 --> 00:30:01,212
unfunded representative

874
00:30:03,996 --> 00:30:04,246
Mr Chair and Mr Sanchez do you

875
00:30:06,196 --> 00:30:06,446
know a potential timeline on

876
00:30:08,262 --> 00:30:08,512
getting it funded

877
00:30:11,462 --> 00:30:11,712
Mr Chairpresentative that's a

878
00:30:13,496 --> 00:30:13,746
tough question but the way we're

879
00:30:14,429 --> 00:30:14,679
progressing it'll eventually be

880
00:30:16,296 --> 00:30:16,546
in this in our four year stip

881
00:30:19,562 --> 00:30:19,812
but you're probably looking at

882
00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:21,779
least another5 years before he

883
00:30:23,796 --> 00:30:24,046
gets in our our st step unless

884
00:30:25,962 --> 00:30:26,212
we get some type of

885
00:30:26,429 --> 00:30:26,679
funding for it

886
00:30:30,029 --> 00:30:30,279
thank you so much Mr Chair and

887
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:31,746
Mr Sanchez we know how to

888
00:30:32,229 --> 00:30:32,479
advocate I know that's a road

889
00:30:33,729 --> 00:30:33,979
that I travel on my way to Santa

890
00:30:34,429 --> 00:30:34,679
Fe and I have a lot of other

891
00:30:35,996 --> 00:30:36,246
constituents that when they

892
00:30:37,996 --> 00:30:38,246
travel they go to and it's a

893
00:30:39,996 --> 00:30:40,246
tough it's a dangerous road

894
00:30:41,529 --> 00:30:41,779
especially with oil filled

895
00:30:43,496 --> 00:30:43,746
traffic and so there are times

896
00:30:44,196 --> 00:30:44,446
where I'm just like I'm gonna go

897
00:30:45,996 --> 00:30:46,246
the other way because it's safer

898
00:30:49,529 --> 00:30:49,779
but it's longer so well it

899
00:30:51,529 --> 00:30:51,779
shows me where to advocate so

900
00:30:52,262 --> 00:30:52,512
thank you so much Mr Cha and Mr

901
00:30:52,962 --> 00:30:53,212
Sanchezreci you.

902
00:30:56,162 --> 00:30:56,412
thank youpresentative Nex we

903
00:30:56,729 --> 00:30:56,979
have Senatorco

904
00:31:02,596 --> 00:31:02,846
thank you Mr. Chairman Francisco

905
00:31:03,262 --> 00:31:03,512
what is

906
00:31:05,796 --> 00:31:06,046
in your

907
00:31:10,162 --> 00:31:10,412
15 and10 year plans what is the

908
00:31:10,829 --> 00:31:11,079
need

909
00:31:15,662 --> 00:31:15,912
so Mr chair senatorco

910
00:31:18,529 --> 00:31:18,779
of course there's a lot of needs

911
00:31:21,962 --> 00:31:22,212
but number one is we have to

912
00:31:24,062 --> 00:31:24,312
continue with our our major

913
00:31:25,529 --> 00:31:25,779
improvements on the on the

914
00:31:27,529 --> 00:31:27,779
highways this big projects right

915
00:31:29,529 --> 00:31:29,779
these these corridors for them

916
00:31:30,562 --> 00:31:30,812
to really function at the level

917
00:31:32,062 --> 00:31:32,312
we need and the safety we need

918
00:31:33,762 --> 00:31:34,012
they need to be fully completed.

919
00:31:35,996 --> 00:31:36,246
So number one is is finishing

920
00:31:37,796 --> 00:31:38,046
these major corridors

921
00:31:40,062 --> 00:31:40,312
number two is

922
00:31:43,529 --> 00:31:43,779
the continuation of improvement

923
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:45,779
in our funding with maintenance

924
00:31:46,162 --> 00:31:46,412
so that's the biggest that's

925
00:31:49,529 --> 00:31:49,779
the biggest one our payment

926
00:31:53,762 --> 00:31:54,012
rehabilitation that is truly

927
00:31:54,462 --> 00:31:54,712
what's truly needed throughout

928
00:31:55,162 --> 00:31:55,412
the state

929
00:31:58,462 --> 00:31:58,712
Well I'm looking through looking

930
00:31:59,896 --> 00:32:00,146
through here looks like you're

931
00:32:00,629 --> 00:32:00,879
spending

932
00:32:03,929 --> 00:32:04,179
about130 million dollars a year

933
00:32:04,596 --> 00:32:04,846
and

934
00:32:05,962 --> 00:32:06,212
district two is that

935
00:32:09,996 --> 00:32:10,246
plus or minus plus or m Mr chair

936
00:32:11,996 --> 00:32:12,246
there yes plus or minus ok I

937
00:32:14,229 --> 00:32:14,479
guess so what I was getting at I

938
00:32:17,729 --> 00:32:17,979
see over here on your unfunded

939
00:32:18,429 --> 00:32:18,679
priority projects there's a

940
00:32:20,462 --> 00:32:20,712
there's a half a billion dollars

941
00:32:21,129 --> 00:32:21,379
in that

942
00:32:23,662 --> 00:32:23,912
in that paragraph

943
00:32:24,162 --> 00:32:24,412
so

944
00:32:27,729 --> 00:32:27,979
you know we heard yesterday

945
00:32:29,962 --> 00:32:30,212
that we

946
00:32:34,062 --> 00:32:34,312
with respect to states

947
00:32:34,529 --> 00:32:34,779
supported local

948
00:32:38,562 --> 00:32:38,812
revenues where some5.7

949
00:32:41,862 --> 00:32:42,112
billion dollars underwater

950
00:32:43,896 --> 00:32:44,146
could you describe

951
00:32:46,262 --> 00:32:46,512
in this report

952
00:32:49,762 --> 00:32:50,012
that that's really what I was

953
00:32:51,762 --> 00:32:52,012
trying to get at is we're

954
00:32:54,396 --> 00:32:54,646
spending131132 million dollars a

955
00:32:55,062 --> 00:32:55,312
year

956
00:33:00,629 --> 00:33:00,879
that does not appear to be

957
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:02,146
given

958
00:33:05,862 --> 00:33:06,112
the unfunded

959
00:33:09,996 --> 00:33:10,246
paragraphs that does not appear

960
00:33:10,696 --> 00:33:10,946
to be sufficient

961
00:33:14,162 --> 00:33:14,412
could you describe for the

962
00:33:14,695 --> 00:33:14,945
committee how

963
00:33:16,629 --> 00:33:16,879
in dollars if you will

964
00:33:21,862 --> 00:33:22,112
and compare that to the5.7b that

965
00:33:22,529 --> 00:33:22,779
we heard

966
00:33:23,829 --> 00:33:24,079
yesterday

967
00:33:26,562 --> 00:33:26,812
how how far are we behind

968
00:33:30,362 --> 00:33:30,612
in total

969
00:33:35,762 --> 00:33:36,012
Mr Chairsenator a total in

970
00:33:38,129 --> 00:33:38,379
district 2strict strict we're

971
00:33:38,795 --> 00:33:39,045
about

972
00:33:43,495 --> 00:33:43,745
500 it varies you know

973
00:33:45,495 --> 00:33:45,745
everybodydy evaluates a little

974
00:33:47,762 --> 00:33:48,012
bit different you know by

975
00:33:49,995 --> 00:33:50,245
evaluations's about500 million a

976
00:33:51,762 --> 00:33:52,012
year that should be their number

977
00:33:53,529 --> 00:33:53,779
to catch up our previous

978
00:33:55,495 --> 00:33:55,745
district engineer his analysis

979
00:33:58,229 --> 00:33:58,479
was about a billion and so

980
00:33:59,995 --> 00:34:00,245
I'll go probably a billion

981
00:34:01,729 --> 00:34:01,979
dollars behind in in district

982
00:34:02,429 --> 00:34:02,679
two that where we need to catch

983
00:34:03,095 --> 00:34:03,345
up senator

984
00:34:06,562 --> 00:34:06,812
and I I know that I'm asking you

985
00:34:07,295 --> 00:34:07,545
to

986
00:34:12,329 --> 00:34:12,579
for data beyond your district

987
00:34:12,995 --> 00:34:13,245
but are

988
00:34:17,495 --> 00:34:17,745
other districts in the state in

989
00:34:19,529 --> 00:34:19,779
similar circumstances, Mister

990
00:34:22,029 --> 00:34:22,279
Chair senator we are you know

991
00:34:22,729 --> 00:34:22,979
you go

992
00:34:25,962 --> 00:34:26,212
throughout the state and you can

993
00:34:27,729 --> 00:34:27,979
drive every road every district

994
00:34:29,729 --> 00:34:29,979
and we're all behind we see

995
00:34:31,529 --> 00:34:31,779
it in our data you know we have

996
00:34:33,962 --> 00:34:34,212
a very robust project payment

997
00:34:35,995 --> 00:34:36,245
management system it it gives

998
00:34:38,195 --> 00:34:38,445
you our pavement rating it shows

999
00:34:41,495 --> 00:34:41,745
our deterioration and we're very

1000
00:34:43,562 --> 00:34:43,812
comparable to every district

1001
00:34:45,495 --> 00:34:45,745
we're all behind and we all have

1002
00:34:46,262 --> 00:34:46,512
that kind of need or that number

1003
00:34:46,929 --> 00:34:47,179
in each district

1004
00:34:56,362 --> 00:34:56,612
Welcome to the committee

1005
00:35:01,495 --> 00:35:01,745
I am so glad I'm not on this

1006
00:35:03,829 --> 00:35:04,079
committee

1007
00:35:10,112 --> 00:35:10,362
francisco Mr Chairman Francisco,

1008
00:35:11,795 --> 00:35:12,045
I consider roads

1009
00:35:15,729 --> 00:35:15,979
to be one of the primary

1010
00:35:16,495 --> 00:35:16,745
responsibilities of state

1011
00:35:17,029 --> 00:35:17,279
government

1012
00:35:20,262 --> 00:35:20,512
and

1013
00:35:23,662 --> 00:35:23,912
apparently at every level

1014
00:35:29,662 --> 00:35:29,912
we are woefully neglecting the

1015
00:35:30,329 --> 00:35:30,579
needs

1016
00:35:33,929 --> 00:35:34,179
highways impact commerce

1017
00:35:35,795 --> 00:35:36,045
a s

1018
00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:38,079
they impact

1019
00:35:40,362 --> 00:35:40,612
accident statistics they

1020
00:35:47,462 --> 00:35:47,712
they they're just something we

1021
00:35:48,429 --> 00:35:48,679
need to do a better job looking

1022
00:35:49,062 --> 00:35:49,312
after

1023
00:35:54,529 --> 00:35:54,779
and I feel your pain because it

1024
00:35:58,029 --> 00:35:58,279
looks to me like well 621 I

1025
00:36:00,262 --> 00:36:00,512
didn't even see 62,180 on this

1026
00:36:02,095 --> 00:36:02,345
list and it's already

1027
00:36:07,862 --> 00:36:08,112
in need of some serious rehab

1028
00:36:08,495 --> 00:36:08,745
because those

1029
00:36:13,762 --> 00:36:14,012
3 by3 yard patches are showing

1030
00:36:14,462 --> 00:36:14,712
up regularly

1031
00:36:26,295 --> 00:36:26,545
Guess that's all I have thank

1032
00:36:29,795 --> 00:36:30,045
you sir and thank you Mr Chair

1033
00:36:30,462 --> 00:36:30,712
thank you senator.ext we

1034
00:36:31,029 --> 00:36:31,279
havepresentative Brown

1035
00:36:33,629 --> 00:36:33,879
you Mr Chairman

1036
00:36:36,262 --> 00:36:36,512
good to see you Francisco.

1037
00:36:39,795 --> 00:36:40,045
always a pleasure to work with

1038
00:36:40,429 --> 00:36:40,679
you on projects and

1039
00:36:43,995 --> 00:36:44,245
you guys do all the work I just

1040
00:36:45,562 --> 00:36:45,812
get to make a phone call here

1041
00:36:47,495 --> 00:36:47,745
and there but I want to start

1042
00:36:49,795 --> 00:36:50,045
with the equipment needs for the

1043
00:36:51,762 --> 00:36:52,012
district. I think every year

1044
00:36:52,362 --> 00:36:52,612
since I've been on this

1045
00:36:54,062 --> 00:36:54,312
committee Mr Chairman, I have

1046
00:36:56,229 --> 00:36:56,479
advocated that we invest more

1047
00:36:57,795 --> 00:36:58,045
money and equipment not just for

1048
00:36:59,529 --> 00:36:59,779
this district but for all of

1049
00:37:01,495 --> 00:37:01,745
them because we never come even

1050
00:37:03,762 --> 00:37:04,012
close to doing that so Mr Chair

1051
00:37:05,795 --> 00:37:06,045
I just wish we could make a note

1052
00:37:08,229 --> 00:37:08,479
that maybe in the 2020 session

1053
00:37:10,195 --> 00:37:10,445
we can do a much better job of

1054
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:11,145
meeting the equipment need

1055
00:37:13,995 --> 00:37:14,245
s it is to some extent a safety

1056
00:37:15,762 --> 00:37:16,012
and efficiency issue to have

1057
00:37:17,795 --> 00:37:18,045
that equipment so I just think

1058
00:37:18,395 --> 00:37:18,645
this needs to be the year with

1059
00:37:20,995 --> 00:37:21,245
the extra revenue that we're

1060
00:37:23,795 --> 00:37:24,045
going to see we can do it if

1061
00:37:25,995 --> 00:37:26,245
we have the will to so I'll just

1062
00:37:27,962 --> 00:37:28,212
mention that I did want to ask

1063
00:37:30,095 --> 00:37:30,345
you Francisco Mr Chairman

1064
00:37:34,295 --> 00:37:34,545
about the Georgehoper leaf

1065
00:37:36,262 --> 00:37:36,512
route and I'm I'm kind of

1066
00:37:38,029 --> 00:37:38,279
making a little note for you

1067
00:37:39,995 --> 00:37:40,245
here and I've talked to you

1068
00:37:41,995 --> 00:37:42,245
in the past that the geometry it

1069
00:37:44,295 --> 00:37:44,545
goes Georgehooperlii route to

1070
00:37:48,295 --> 00:37:48,545
highway 285 very odd little

1071
00:37:50,295 --> 00:37:50,545
geometry to that curve and I

1072
00:37:52,262 --> 00:37:52,512
know there's an a cell lane now

1073
00:37:54,329 --> 00:37:54,579
but it's still an issue for us

1074
00:37:55,762 --> 00:37:56,012
and I just want to let you know

1075
00:37:57,729 --> 00:37:57,979
that the city ofarlsbad is

1076
00:38:00,229 --> 00:38:00,479
looking at is in talks about

1077
00:38:00,862 --> 00:38:01,112
some oil

1078
00:38:04,029 --> 00:38:04,279
and gas work that and maybe even

1079
00:38:05,762 --> 00:38:06,012
some housing that will happen

1080
00:38:07,762 --> 00:38:08,012
there and there may be an

1081
00:38:10,229 --> 00:38:10,479
opportunity to fix that they

1082
00:38:11,695 --> 00:38:11,945
want to have a side road and

1083
00:38:12,362 --> 00:38:12,612
maybe

1084
00:38:14,029 --> 00:38:14,279
so are you familiar? have you

1085
00:38:16,229 --> 00:38:16,479
had any discussions uhm Chair

1086
00:38:19,529 --> 00:38:19,779
Francisco Mrir Representative

1087
00:38:21,795 --> 00:38:22,045
Brown, yes we are in we are in

1088
00:38:22,395 --> 00:38:22,645
discussions with the city of

1089
00:38:24,262 --> 00:38:24,512
carlsbad some of the private

1090
00:38:24,929 --> 00:38:25,179
developers

1091
00:38:26,329 --> 00:38:26,579
and

1092
00:38:30,195 --> 00:38:30,445
of course the main discussion is

1093
00:38:32,029 --> 00:38:32,279
with the city of carlsbad they

1094
00:38:33,829 --> 00:38:34,079
want to access for their housing

1095
00:38:35,529 --> 00:38:35,779
development they're they're in

1096
00:38:37,529 --> 00:38:37,779
the process of acquiring500

1097
00:38:40,262 --> 00:38:40,512
acres acres from BLm and so

1098
00:38:42,029 --> 00:38:42,279
that's gonna be a huge impact to

1099
00:38:43,529 --> 00:38:43,779
the George superper leaf

1100
00:38:45,829 --> 00:38:46,079
routeurrently that is a whip

1101
00:38:47,728 --> 00:38:47,978
restricted route what we call a

1102
00:38:48,428 --> 00:38:48,678
access control

1103
00:38:49,662 --> 00:38:49,912
and so

1104
00:38:52,295 --> 00:38:52,545
there's a process to break that

1105
00:38:53,762 --> 00:38:54,012
so we're going to work with the

1106
00:38:54,462 --> 00:38:54,712
city of carlsbad

1107
00:38:56,195 --> 00:38:56,445
there's some developers oil and

1108
00:38:59,762 --> 00:39:00,012
gas are wanting to partner in

1109
00:39:01,762 --> 00:39:02,012
determine that use that same

1110
00:39:04,195 --> 00:39:04,445
axis so during the process of

1111
00:39:05,962 --> 00:39:06,212
working with the developers and

1112
00:39:07,728 --> 00:39:07,978
the city of carlsbad

1113
00:39:10,262 --> 00:39:10,512
once we are in favor of

1114
00:39:11,495 --> 00:39:11,745
district two but theres a

1115
00:39:12,128 --> 00:39:12,378
process that will have to go to

1116
00:39:13,995 --> 00:39:14,245
the front of a committee and

1117
00:39:15,528 --> 00:39:15,778
part of that process of the

1118
00:39:17,995 --> 00:39:18,245
evaluation of the impact of that

1119
00:39:19,495 --> 00:39:19,745
development whether it's the

1120
00:39:20,095 --> 00:39:20,345
housing or the drilling

1121
00:39:24,062 --> 00:39:24,312
or the other mix use parcels

1122
00:39:25,728 --> 00:39:25,978
they want to put out there and

1123
00:39:28,262 --> 00:39:28,512
part of that acts as approval

1124
00:39:29,762 --> 00:39:30,012
will be working with the city

1125
00:39:32,028 --> 00:39:32,278
cars carlsba to come up with a a

1126
00:39:33,762 --> 00:39:34,012
master plan for all the safety

1127
00:39:35,462 --> 00:39:35,712
improvements whether it's

1128
00:39:37,728 --> 00:39:37,978
further down the George

1129
00:39:41,562 --> 00:39:41,812
Shuett 28562 and80 and anything

1130
00:39:43,495 --> 00:39:43,745
related to that axis brake where

1131
00:39:45,495 --> 00:39:45,745
there's perhaps a traffic signal

1132
00:39:47,528 --> 00:39:47,778
or major intersix improvements

1133
00:39:48,462 --> 00:39:48,712
where they're going to access

1134
00:39:49,128 --> 00:39:49,378
off of Georgeute.

1135
00:39:52,262 --> 00:39:52,512
yeah Mr Chair I'm glad to hear

1136
00:39:54,228 --> 00:39:54,478
that. I think a cooper

1137
00:39:57,495 --> 00:39:57,745
cooperative effort would really

1138
00:39:58,228 --> 00:39:58,478
it'd be a win for a lot of

1139
00:40:00,462 --> 00:40:00,712
people including just about

1140
00:40:02,228 --> 00:40:02,478
everybody really there so thank

1141
00:40:04,195 --> 00:40:04,445
you. I also want to bring up

1142
00:40:06,195 --> 00:40:06,445
Highway128 this project's been

1143
00:40:10,062 --> 00:40:10,312
on the drawing board for a long

1144
00:40:11,762 --> 00:40:12,012
time and and work is moving

1145
00:40:12,562 --> 00:40:12,812
forward but it just seems I

1146
00:40:14,028 --> 00:40:14,278
think I read this in thehobbs

1147
00:40:15,528 --> 00:40:15,778
newspaper that there is a

1148
00:40:18,262 --> 00:40:18,512
and this is down at that little

1149
00:40:22,262 --> 00:40:22,512
intersection there um3.1 miles

1150
00:40:23,962 --> 00:40:24,212
but the work won't be done until

1151
00:40:27,528 --> 00:40:27,778
2028 is that accurate? I know

1152
00:40:28,462 --> 00:40:28,712
you're doing what signal curbing

1153
00:40:33,495 --> 00:40:33,745
turn lanes drainage of course

1154
00:40:37,495 --> 00:40:37,745
just give us a s and why it's

1155
00:40:38,162 --> 00:40:38,412
taking so long

1156
00:40:40,262 --> 00:40:40,512
Mr Chairpresentative Brown the

1157
00:40:41,762 --> 00:40:42,012
toughest projects that we face

1158
00:40:43,995 --> 00:40:44,245
indlT is is our what we call our

1159
00:40:46,228 --> 00:40:46,478
urban and so through the city of

1160
00:40:47,995 --> 00:40:48,245
ja those3.2

1161
00:40:51,495 --> 00:40:51,745
you know we're basically

1162
00:40:52,528 --> 00:40:52,778
rebuilding the highway there and

1163
00:40:55,795 --> 00:40:56,045
the the highway prism we're

1164
00:40:56,362 --> 00:40:56,612
extending it a major

1165
00:40:59,795 --> 00:41:00,045
timeline there is really the

1166
00:41:02,095 --> 00:41:02,345
storm drain system there's a

1167
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:04,345
storm drain system that goes in

1168
00:41:06,062 --> 00:41:06,312
will be going in that community

1169
00:41:09,528 --> 00:41:09,778
for for of course the the

1170
00:41:10,295 --> 00:41:10,545
drainage and that takes a lot of

1171
00:41:12,028 --> 00:41:12,278
time to lay the the storm drain

1172
00:41:14,028 --> 00:41:14,278
in there so that's a majority of

1173
00:41:15,528 --> 00:41:15,778
that second

1174
00:41:18,262 --> 00:41:18,512
just handling the traffic we

1175
00:41:19,795 --> 00:41:20,045
really have to build in small

1176
00:41:22,295 --> 00:41:22,545
phases through those miles just

1177
00:41:23,795 --> 00:41:24,045
the sheer number of trucks and

1178
00:41:26,028 --> 00:41:26,278
trying to control that so very

1179
00:41:26,728 --> 00:41:26,978
limited on the way

1180
00:41:29,828 --> 00:41:30,078
we maintain traffic and that

1181
00:41:30,428 --> 00:41:30,678
adds tremendous delay to our

1182
00:41:31,062 --> 00:41:31,312
construction projects

1183
00:41:34,028 --> 00:41:34,278
well it

1184
00:41:37,728 --> 00:41:37,978
it is a critical point in our

1185
00:41:39,695 --> 00:41:39,945
transportation system for sure

1186
00:41:40,362 --> 00:41:40,612
so we look forward to that

1187
00:41:41,762 --> 00:41:42,012
getting done and then Mr Chair I

1188
00:41:43,495 --> 00:41:43,745
just want to kind of close with

1189
00:41:45,962 --> 00:41:46,212
a comment we drove our

1190
00:41:47,962 --> 00:41:48,212
shuttle bus today committee did

1191
00:41:51,728 --> 00:41:51,978
to oil and gas location

1192
00:41:53,995 --> 00:41:54,245
and we took 62,180

1193
00:41:57,495 --> 00:41:57,745
anyway it and we've had a

1194
00:41:58,095 --> 00:41:58,345
discussion and there it was I

1195
00:42:00,262 --> 00:42:00,512
guess a concrete kind of like a

1196
00:42:01,628 --> 00:42:01,878
test plot it didn't hold up

1197
00:42:05,495 --> 00:42:05,745
and I had constituents telling

1198
00:42:06,462 --> 00:42:06,712
me it was a really dangerous

1199
00:42:09,728 --> 00:42:09,978
section of the drive and I

1200
00:42:11,728 --> 00:42:11,978
spoke with you and you did

1201
00:42:13,495 --> 00:42:13,745
exactly what I asked you to do.

1202
00:42:15,495 --> 00:42:15,745
maybe you're gonna do it

1203
00:42:17,762 --> 00:42:18,012
already but put up a slowdown

1204
00:42:20,028 --> 00:42:20,278
sign and reduce the speed

1205
00:42:21,995 --> 00:42:22,245
limit and you actually looks

1206
00:42:23,795 --> 00:42:24,045
like did some asphalt patching

1207
00:42:25,495 --> 00:42:25,745
in places there so I just

1208
00:42:26,195 --> 00:42:26,445
want to say thank you for doing

1209
00:42:28,262 --> 00:42:28,512
that. I know it's on the

1210
00:42:30,228 --> 00:42:30,478
schedule to work that stretch

1211
00:42:31,695 --> 00:42:31,945
and I guess make it asphalt

1212
00:42:32,295 --> 00:42:32,545
instead of

1213
00:42:35,762 --> 00:42:36,012
concrete but thank you for

1214
00:42:37,762 --> 00:42:38,012
being so responsive and I look

1215
00:42:38,362 --> 00:42:38,612
forward to that project being

1216
00:42:40,262 --> 00:42:40,512
done too eventually

1217
00:42:42,228 --> 00:42:42,478
Mr Chairre represent thank you

1218
00:42:43,995 --> 00:42:44,245
that those are some of the

1219
00:42:45,995 --> 00:42:46,245
challenges that we we face we

1220
00:42:47,962 --> 00:42:48,212
don't that was unexpected you

1221
00:42:48,562 --> 00:42:48,812
know that concrete was supposed

1222
00:42:50,262 --> 00:42:50,512
to last a lot longer and now

1223
00:42:51,962 --> 00:42:52,212
you're introducing a30 million

1224
00:42:53,495 --> 00:42:53,745
dollars project that we're

1225
00:42:55,462 --> 00:42:55,712
trying to now prioritize with

1226
00:42:57,762 --> 00:42:58,012
all the other needs but that is

1227
00:42:59,728 --> 00:42:59,978
desperately needed and will

1228
00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:01,912
continue to maintain it until we

1229
00:43:02,328 --> 00:43:02,578
go into construction

1230
00:43:03,762 --> 00:43:04,012
next year to replace that

1231
00:43:05,728 --> 00:43:05,978
concrete. very good thank you

1232
00:43:06,328 --> 00:43:06,578
for the answers thank you Mr

1233
00:43:06,895 --> 00:43:07,145
chairir.

1234
00:43:09,862 --> 00:43:10,112
youpresentative

1235
00:43:10,162 --> 00:43:10,412
Representativeorrego

1236
00:43:13,962 --> 00:43:14,212
thank you Mr Chair. thank you

1237
00:43:17,962 --> 00:43:18,212
Mr Sanchez francisco, do you

1238
00:43:19,728 --> 00:43:19,978
mind if I call you that?

1239
00:43:21,495 --> 00:43:21,745
so I was looking at the

1240
00:43:23,795 --> 00:43:24,045
boundaries I was looking on your

1241
00:43:25,728 --> 00:43:25,978
map and I had to actually pull

1242
00:43:29,828 --> 00:43:30,078
up the DOT boundaries so

1243
00:43:30,395 --> 00:43:30,645
traveling

1244
00:43:33,495 --> 00:43:33,745
to get to this location I came

1245
00:43:37,995 --> 00:43:38,245
on I-40 and I I think that your

1246
00:43:41,495 --> 00:43:41,745
district includes I-40, going

1247
00:43:43,728 --> 00:43:43,978
east is that right Mr Chair

1248
00:43:45,728 --> 00:43:45,978
Representative, we we do not

1249
00:43:46,462 --> 00:43:46,712
I-40 is not within our

1250
00:43:48,228 --> 00:43:48,478
boundaries you're right on the

1251
00:43:49,662 --> 00:43:49,912
on the cusp of map on the cusp

1252
00:43:50,295 --> 00:43:50,545
yes

1253
00:43:53,762 --> 00:43:54,012
ok I was just going to mention

1254
00:43:55,962 --> 00:43:56,212
Mr Chair how much truck traffic

1255
00:43:57,762 --> 00:43:58,012
was on that road when I was

1256
00:44:01,495 --> 00:44:01,745
coming east to get to you

1257
00:44:03,962 --> 00:44:04,212
know cut across to stancia

1258
00:44:05,762 --> 00:44:06,012
and I didn't know if that was in

1259
00:44:08,462 --> 00:44:08,712
your district or not so that is

1260
00:44:11,795 --> 00:44:12,045
in what district? Mr

1261
00:44:12,262 --> 00:44:12,512
Chairpresentative that be

1262
00:44:17,762 --> 00:44:18,012
districtive or45 or4 the I-40

1263
00:44:19,795 --> 00:44:20,045
you know on the east side of to

1264
00:44:20,461 --> 00:44:20,711
be district four and then

1265
00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:24,411
itstancier district cuts into

1266
00:44:24,728 --> 00:44:24,978
district

1267
00:44:27,495 --> 00:44:27,745
well I just wanted to mention

1268
00:44:30,195 --> 00:44:30,445
the amount of semi trucks

1269
00:44:31,495 --> 00:44:31,745
that I saw

1270
00:44:35,995 --> 00:44:36,245
just I40 and I know that some of

1271
00:44:39,495 --> 00:44:39,745
that we we actually because of

1272
00:44:41,761 --> 00:44:42,011
our trade port our trade ports

1273
00:44:42,461 --> 00:44:42,711
I think that I mean

1274
00:44:46,028 --> 00:44:46,278
I don't know how we can increase

1275
00:44:47,528 --> 00:44:47,778
that traffic but it's not in

1276
00:44:48,295 --> 00:44:48,545
your district but I'm sure you

1277
00:44:49,728 --> 00:44:49,978
talked to the other district

1278
00:44:52,028 --> 00:44:52,278
engineers so I just wanted to

1279
00:44:53,761 --> 00:44:54,011

1303
00:45:46,195 --> 00:45:46,445

00:45:49,495 --> 00:45:49,745
you for the opportunity to be

1306
00:45:51,495 --> 00:45:51,745
here today. I am

1307
00:45:52,195 --> 00:45:52,445
Jessselitzraden, director of the

1308
00:45:54,028 --> 00:45:54,278
New Mexico Aviation Division and

1309
00:45:55,995 --> 00:45:56,245
I would like to spend a few

1310
00:45:57,961 --> 00:45:58,211
minutes giving you a snapshot of

1311
00:45:59,795 --> 00:46:00,045
the work that is happening

1312
00:46:00,328 --> 00:46:00,578
across the division

1313
00:46:03,495 --> 00:46:03,745
I'm going to focus primarily on

1314
00:46:05,761 --> 00:46:06,011
two significant investments our

1315
00:46:07,761 --> 00:46:08,011
rural airer enhancement

1316
00:46:09,928 --> 00:46:10,178
programme, also known as rays

1317
00:46:12,195 --> 00:46:12,445
and the55 million dollar fiscal

1318
00:46:15,795 --> 00:46:16,045
year 24hB2 investment in airport

1319
00:46:16,528 --> 00:46:16,778
infrastructure.

1320
00:46:18,228 --> 00:46:18,478
Then I'd like to spend just a

1321
00:46:19,761 --> 00:46:20,011
couple of minutes looking

1322
00:46:22,061 --> 00:46:22,311
forward because I believe that

1323
00:46:24,061 --> 00:46:24,311
New Mexico has a tremendous

1324
00:46:25,495 --> 00:46:25,745
opportunity in advanced

1325
00:46:27,495 --> 00:46:27,745
aviation, unmanned aircraft

1326
00:46:28,528 --> 00:46:28,778
systems and emerging aviation

1327
00:46:29,861 --> 00:46:30,111
technologies.

1328
00:46:32,461 --> 00:46:32,711
oh we don't have the slides up.

1329
00:46:33,995 --> 00:46:34,245
I'm so sorry I wasn't sure what

1330
00:46:35,728 --> 00:46:35,978
was going on before behind me.

1331
00:46:37,995 --> 00:46:38,245
OK so the second slide there the

1332
00:46:40,028 --> 00:46:40,278
aviation division supports

1333
00:46:41,861 --> 00:46:42,111
airports and communities

1334
00:46:42,395 --> 00:46:42,645
throughout New Mexico.

1335
00:46:45,495 --> 00:46:45,745
Our role goes well beyond simply

1336
00:46:47,761 --> 00:46:48,011
administering grants. We work

1337
00:46:49,495 --> 00:46:49,745
directly with airport sponsors

1338
00:46:51,495 --> 00:46:51,745
on safety compliance, capital

1339
00:46:52,528 --> 00:46:52,778
planning and project delivery.

1340
00:46:54,295 --> 00:46:54,545
We coordinate closely with the

1341
00:46:56,261 --> 00:46:56,511
FfaA, local governments and

1342
00:46:58,061 --> 00:46:58,311
industry partners and we

1343
00:47:00,028 --> 00:47:00,278
administer the rural airer

1344
00:47:01,761 --> 00:47:02,011
enhancement orRa programme

1345
00:47:04,328 --> 00:47:04,578
our priorities are fairly

1346
00:47:04,895 --> 00:47:05,145
straightforward

1347
00:47:08,061 --> 00:47:08,311
t ect the infrastructure that we

1348
00:47:08,728 --> 00:47:08,978
already have

1349
00:47:11,761 --> 00:47:12,011
improved connectivity for our

1350
00:47:14,028 --> 00:47:14,278
rural New Mexicans help our

1351
00:47:16,261 --> 00:47:16,511
airports succeed and make sure

1352
00:47:17,995 --> 00:47:18,245
we are preparing our aviation

1353
00:47:18,661 --> 00:47:18,911
system for what comes next.

1354
00:47:21,728 --> 00:47:21,978
that combination of

1355
00:47:23,495 --> 00:47:23,745
infrastructure and connectivity

1356
00:47:24,295 --> 00:47:24,545
is really the theme that I would

1357
00:47:24,961 --> 00:47:25,211
like to keep in mind today.

1358
00:47:25,895 --> 00:47:26,145
Next slide

1359
00:47:30,228 --> 00:47:30,478
one of the clearest examples of

1360
00:47:31,995 --> 00:47:32,245
connectivity is the ray

1361
00:47:33,995 --> 00:47:34,245
programme.A was first created

1362
00:47:35,961 --> 00:47:36,211
during the 2021 legislative

1363
00:47:37,995 --> 00:47:38,245
session to help rural New Mexico

1364
00:47:39,995 --> 00:47:40,245
communities establish airirer

1365
00:47:41,961 --> 00:47:42,211
connections to regional and

1366
00:47:42,528 --> 00:47:42,778
national hubs.

1367
00:47:45,761 --> 00:47:46,011
for a rural community commercial

1368
00:47:47,528 --> 00:47:47,778
air service is much more than

1369
00:47:50,195 --> 00:47:50,445
convenience. it means access. it

1370
00:47:51,961 --> 00:47:52,211
gives businesses access to

1371
00:47:53,995 --> 00:47:54,245
customers and markets. It

1372
00:47:55,728 --> 00:47:55,978
supports tourism. it helps

1373
00:47:57,761 --> 00:47:58,011
employers recruit and retain

1374
00:47:59,728 --> 00:47:59,978
employees. It provides residents

1375
00:48:01,495 --> 00:48:01,745
with better access to medical

1376
00:48:04,228 --> 00:48:04,478
care education and family and it

1377
00:48:05,995 --> 00:48:06,245
connects to rural New Mexico to

1378
00:48:06,661 --> 00:48:06,911
the larger national

1379
00:48:07,095 --> 00:48:07,345
transportation system.

1380
00:48:11,528 --> 00:48:11,778
for fiscal year 27 alone, the

1381
00:48:13,761 --> 00:48:14,011
state is investing18.5 million

1382
00:48:15,761 --> 00:48:16,011
dollars through race but I think

1383
00:48:17,528 --> 00:48:17,778
it's important to put that

1384
00:48:19,495 --> 00:48:19,745
number into perspective since

1385
00:48:21,728 --> 00:48:21,978
fiscal year 22, the legislature

1386
00:48:23,795 --> 00:48:24,045
has invested79 million dollars

1387
00:48:25,695 --> 00:48:25,945
in rural airer throughout this

1388
00:48:26,361 --> 00:48:26,611
program.

1389
00:48:27,628 --> 00:48:27,878
Slide4

1390
00:48:32,195 --> 00:48:32,445
the79 million dollars over ix

1391
00:48:34,195 --> 00:48:34,445
fiscal years dedicated

1392
00:48:35,728 --> 00:48:35,978
specifically to improving air

1393
00:48:37,661 --> 00:48:37,911
service and connectivity for

1394
00:48:38,261 --> 00:48:38,511
rural New Mexico.

1395
00:48:40,261 --> 00:48:40,511
that level of investment

1396
00:48:43,495 --> 00:48:43,745
demonstrates that rural airer

1397
00:48:44,228 --> 00:48:44,478
has become an important part of

1398
00:48:46,028 --> 00:48:46,278
the state's transportation

1399
00:48:48,028 --> 00:48:48,278
strategy. It also means that we

1400
00:48:49,728 --> 00:48:49,978
have a responsibility to make

1401
00:48:51,728 --> 00:48:51,978
sure those dollars are producing

1402
00:48:53,728 --> 00:48:53,978
results that's why the aviation

1403
00:48:55,695 --> 00:48:55,945
division has continued to

1404
00:48:56,461 --> 00:48:56,711
strengthen the race program

1405
00:48:59,528 --> 00:48:59,778
around local participation,

1406
00:49:01,761 --> 00:49:02,011
measurable performance and long

1407
00:49:03,961 --> 00:49:04,211
term route sustainability. The

1408
00:49:05,728 --> 00:49:05,978
goal is not to subsidize an

1409
00:49:07,795 --> 00:49:08,045
airplane it's to build a market

1410
00:49:08,461 --> 00:49:08,711
we want to give

1411
00:49:11,528 --> 00:49:11,778
passengers and communities the

1412
00:49:12,128 --> 00:49:12,378
opportunity to establish

1413
00:49:13,995 --> 00:49:14,245
service, build passenger demand

1414
00:49:15,561 --> 00:49:15,811
and ultimately create a route

1415
00:49:16,395 --> 00:49:16,645
that becomes increasingly

1416
00:49:16,961 --> 00:49:17,211
sustainable over time.

1417
00:49:19,995 --> 00:49:20,245
as the state's investment in

1418
00:49:21,928 --> 00:49:22,178
race has grown we believe that

1419
00:49:24,028 --> 00:49:24,278
accountability and performance

1420
00:49:24,695 --> 00:49:24,945
have to grow with it.

1421
00:49:25,628 --> 00:49:25,878
slide ive

1422
00:49:29,495 --> 00:49:29,745
the other side of the equation

1423
00:49:31,995 --> 00:49:32,245
is infrastructure we can create

1424
00:49:33,961 --> 00:49:34,211
connectivity through programs

1425
00:49:35,495 --> 00:49:35,745
like race but those services

1426
00:49:36,228 --> 00:49:36,478
depend on having safe and

1427
00:49:37,961 --> 00:49:38,211
capable airports underneath

1428
00:49:40,195 --> 00:49:40,445
them. The legislature's fiscal

1429
00:49:43,928 --> 00:49:44,178
year $2455 million HB2

1430
00:49:45,528 --> 00:49:45,778
investment gave the aviation

1431
00:49:47,528 --> 00:49:47,778
division an extraordinary

1432
00:49:48,261 --> 00:49:48,511
opportunity to address airport

1433
00:49:50,028 --> 00:49:50,278
infrastructure needs throughout

1434
00:49:50,695 --> 00:49:50,945
New Mexico.

1435
00:49:54,194 --> 00:49:54,444
this was a one time two year

1436
00:49:56,194 --> 00:49:56,444
capital investment and those

1437
00:49:59,728 --> 00:49:59,978
dollars have been committed to74

1438
00:50:00,461 --> 00:50:00,711
projects statewide

1439
00:50:03,761 --> 00:50:04,011
sefo projects from one

1440
00:50:05,961 --> 00:50:06,211
appropriation is significant.

1441
00:50:07,728 --> 00:50:07,978
The unique thing that we were

1442
00:50:09,461 --> 00:50:09,711
able to do in most of these

1443
00:50:10,194 --> 00:50:10,444
cases that we're generally not

1444
00:50:12,494 --> 00:50:12,744
able to do is to fund them from

1445
00:50:13,128 --> 00:50:13,378
start to completion.

1446
00:50:16,228 --> 00:50:16,478
These projects are addressing

1447
00:50:19,494 --> 00:50:19,744
pavement taxiways facilities,

1448
00:50:21,494 --> 00:50:21,744
safety equipment firefighting

1449
00:50:22,228 --> 00:50:22,478
capabilities signage,

1450
00:50:24,028 --> 00:50:24,278
operational improvements and

1451
00:50:25,994 --> 00:50:26,244
other critical infrastructure

1452
00:50:27,961 --> 00:50:28,211
without this influx of capital

1453
00:50:29,994 --> 00:50:30,244
investment, many of these would

1454
00:50:32,028 --> 00:50:32,278
be waiting for more than5 years

1455
00:50:34,194 --> 00:50:34,444
or more for potential funding

1456
00:50:35,761 --> 00:50:36,011
and these aren't simply

1457
00:50:37,494 --> 00:50:37,744
investments for people who fly

1458
00:50:38,194 --> 00:50:38,444
recreationally.

1459
00:50:41,461 --> 00:50:41,711
Our airports support emergency

1460
00:50:43,494 --> 00:50:43,744
medical transportation, aerial

1461
00:50:45,728 --> 00:50:45,978
firefighting law enforcement,

1462
00:50:48,494 --> 00:50:48,744
military operations tourism,

1463
00:50:51,694 --> 00:50:51,944
business development and access

1464
00:50:52,394 --> 00:50:52,644
to rural communities.

1465
00:50:55,528 --> 00:50:55,778
in many parts of New Mexico the

1466
00:50:57,994 --> 00:50:58,244
airport is every bit as much of

1467
00:50:59,494 --> 00:50:59,744
a piece of essential

1468
00:51:01,528 --> 00:51:01,778
transportation infrastructure as

1469
00:51:02,228 --> 00:51:02,478
the highway that's coming into

1470
00:51:02,894 --> 00:51:03,144
town.

1471
00:51:03,794 --> 00:51:04,044
slide 6

1472
00:51:07,761 --> 00:51:08,011
I'd like to give you a few

1473
00:51:09,761 --> 00:51:10,011
examples of what the55 million

1474
00:51:10,394 --> 00:51:10,644
dollars looks like when it

1475
00:51:12,294 --> 00:51:12,544
actually reaches a community.

1476
00:51:14,261 --> 00:51:14,511
The first isRoswell Air Center

1477
00:51:17,728 --> 00:51:17,978
where HB2 provided just over $9

1478
00:51:19,728 --> 00:51:19,978
million to address projects that

1479
00:51:20,461 --> 00:51:20,711
had been proposed in their

1480
00:51:22,328 --> 00:51:22,578
airport layout plans that

1481
00:51:24,361 --> 00:51:24,611
funding was used to extend

1482
00:51:26,294 --> 00:51:26,544
Taxiway Charlie which helped

1483
00:51:27,761 --> 00:51:28,011
them prepare for hosting the

1484
00:51:30,328 --> 00:51:30,578
roswell airir races, but another

1485
00:51:31,994 --> 00:51:32,244
part of that investment has an

1486
00:51:33,528 --> 00:51:33,778
important public safety

1487
00:51:34,228 --> 00:51:34,478
component. Toxiwaylima was

1488
00:51:34,761 --> 00:51:35,011
constructed

1489
00:51:38,194 --> 00:51:38,444
to allow firefighting aircraft

1490
00:51:40,261 --> 00:51:40,511
to safely access their slurry

1491
00:51:43,494 --> 00:51:43,744
loading pads so in one project

1492
00:51:45,494 --> 00:51:45,744
we're supporting an economic and

1493
00:51:47,494 --> 00:51:47,744
tourism op opportunity while

1494
00:51:49,461 --> 00:51:49,711
also improving infrastructure

1495
00:51:50,361 --> 00:51:50,611
that supports wildland

1496
00:51:50,794 --> 00:51:51,044
firefighting response.

1497
00:51:53,961 --> 00:51:54,211
at Sierra Blanca Regional

1498
00:51:56,194 --> 00:51:56,444
Airport in Riidoso, HB2 provided

1499
00:51:57,894 --> 00:51:58,144
approximately3.97 million

1500
00:51:58,428 --> 00:51:58,678
dollars.

1501
00:52:01,494 --> 00:52:01,744
That investment included

1502
00:52:03,728 --> 00:52:03,978
parallel taxiway ravo increasing

1503
00:52:05,728 --> 00:52:05,978
operational safety at an airport

1504
00:52:07,528 --> 00:52:07,778
where the crosswind runway

1505
00:52:09,494 --> 00:52:09,744
provides the FfaA required

1506
00:52:10,028 --> 00:52:10,278
crosswind coverage

1507
00:52:13,494 --> 00:52:13,744
that may sound highly technical

1508
00:52:14,161 --> 00:52:14,411
but the practical result is

1509
00:52:17,461 --> 00:52:17,711
simple safer aircraft movement

1510
00:52:19,494 --> 00:52:19,744
and better airport operations

1511
00:52:21,728 --> 00:52:21,978
here in Hobbsley County Regional

1512
00:52:23,994 --> 00:52:24,244
Airport, we invested1.8 million

1513
00:52:26,194 --> 00:52:26,444
dollars. Those dollars supported

1514
00:52:27,961 --> 00:52:28,211
an aircraft rescue and

1515
00:52:29,961 --> 00:52:30,211
firefighting truck along with

1516
00:52:30,628 --> 00:52:30,878
signage and wayfinding points

1517
00:52:34,228 --> 00:52:34,478
Anarf truck is not a glamorous

1518
00:52:36,494 --> 00:52:36,744
piece of infrastructure but is

1519
00:52:37,761 --> 00:52:38,011
it exactly the kind of

1520
00:52:39,728 --> 00:52:39,978
investment that directly

1521
00:52:41,761 --> 00:52:42,011
improves airport safety and

1522
00:52:42,394 --> 00:52:42,644
emergency response capabilities.

1523
00:52:46,428 --> 00:52:46,678
and at clovis Regional Airport,

1524
00:52:49,494 --> 00:52:49,744
the state invested just over4

1525
00:52:50,261 --> 00:52:50,511
million dollars for a new

1526
00:52:52,261 --> 00:52:52,511
terminal. Now that project is a

1527
00:52:53,961 --> 00:52:54,211
very different one but an

1528
00:52:56,261 --> 00:52:56,511
equally important one.erminal

1529
00:52:58,461 --> 00:52:58,711
infrastructure ins affects the

1530
00:53:00,228 --> 00:53:00,478
passenger experience. the

1531
00:53:02,028 --> 00:53:02,278
community's ability to support

1532
00:53:04,028 --> 00:53:04,278
commercial air service and

1533
00:53:05,761 --> 00:53:06,011
ultimately the impression that

1534
00:53:07,728 --> 00:53:07,978
visitors of and businesses have

1535
00:53:09,494 --> 00:53:09,744
when they arrive in that

1536
00:53:11,528 --> 00:53:11,778
community. These four projects

1537
00:53:12,294 --> 00:53:12,544
represent only a small portion

1538
00:53:13,561 --> 00:53:13,811
of the sefo projects funded

1539
00:53:17,494 --> 00:53:17,744
throughhB2 but they demonstrate

1540
00:53:18,228 --> 00:53:18,478
the breadth of the investment

1541
00:53:21,494 --> 00:53:21,744
we're addressing safety we're

1542
00:53:23,528 --> 00:53:23,778
improving operations we're

1543
00:53:25,461 --> 00:53:25,711
supporting emergency response or

1544
00:53:27,694 --> 00:53:27,944
modernizing facilities and we're

1545
00:53:28,428 --> 00:53:28,678
helping communities position

1546
00:53:31,661 --> 00:53:31,911
their airports for economic

1547
00:53:32,228 --> 00:53:32,478
opportunities

1548
00:53:32,861 --> 00:53:33,111
slide se

1549
00:53:36,228 --> 00:53:36,478
and this is where rays andhB2

1550
00:53:38,294 --> 00:53:38,544
come together. They are

1551
00:53:39,994 --> 00:53:40,244
different programs but they're

1552
00:53:41,961 --> 00:53:42,211
really two pieces of the same

1553
00:53:44,461 --> 00:53:44,711
statewide aviation strategy.Ra

1554
00:53:45,994 --> 00:53:46,244
connects rural communities to

1555
00:53:47,728 --> 00:53:47,978
the broader air transportation

1556
00:53:49,694 --> 00:53:49,944
system while infrastructure

1557
00:53:51,728 --> 00:53:51,978
investments like HB2 product and

1558
00:53:53,494 --> 00:53:53,744
improve the airports that make

1559
00:53:54,161 --> 00:53:54,411
those connections possible.

1560
00:53:55,961 --> 00:53:56,211
and increasingly those

1561
00:53:57,961 --> 00:53:58,211
infrastructure investments can

1562
00:53:59,928 --> 00:54:00,178
also help prepare our airports

1563
00:54:02,194 --> 00:54:02,444
for emerging technologies and

1564
00:54:05,461 --> 00:54:05,711
new aviation opportunities so

1565
00:54:06,061 --> 00:54:06,311
while we're investing in the

1566
00:54:07,994 --> 00:54:08,244
aviation system New Mexico needs

1567
00:54:10,194 --> 00:54:10,444
today we also have to think

1568
00:54:11,761 --> 00:54:12,011
about the system that we're

1569
00:54:12,394 --> 00:54:12,644
going to need tomorrow.

1570
00:54:14,228 --> 00:54:14,478
flight 8

1571
00:54:17,761 --> 00:54:18,011
and this is where I believe New

1572
00:54:19,494 --> 00:54:19,744
Mexico has an opportunity that

1573
00:54:20,261 --> 00:54:20,511
is much bigger than the aviation

1574
00:54:20,928 --> 00:54:21,178
division.

1575
00:54:24,028 --> 00:54:24,278
when we talk about advanced air

1576
00:54:26,461 --> 00:54:26,711
mobility UAs autonomous systems

1577
00:54:28,028 --> 00:54:28,278
and emerging aviation

1578
00:54:30,028 --> 00:54:30,278
technology. New Mexico already

1579
00:54:31,794 --> 00:54:32,044
possesses something that other

1580
00:54:33,828 --> 00:54:34,078
states are spending enormous

1581
00:54:34,494 --> 00:54:34,744
amounts of money trying to

1582
00:54:35,661 --> 00:54:35,911
create which is an ecosystem

1583
00:54:38,228 --> 00:54:38,478
We have white sands missile

1584
00:54:39,994 --> 00:54:40,244
range with an extraordinary

1585
00:54:42,294 --> 00:54:42,544
concentration on defense testing

1586
00:54:45,494 --> 00:54:45,744
controlled airspace and advanced

1587
00:54:47,761 --> 00:54:48,011
technology operations. We have

1588
00:54:49,528 --> 00:54:49,778
NMSU and it's physicalsciences

1589
00:54:51,994 --> 00:54:52,244
lab including an FfaA approved

1590
00:54:53,761 --> 00:54:54,011
UAS test site and

1591
00:54:57,528 --> 00:54:57,778
approximately15,000 square miles

1592
00:54:59,761 --> 00:55:00,011
of coordinated airspace for

1593
00:55:00,428 --> 00:55:00,678
available for UAS operations.

1594
00:55:03,994 --> 00:55:04,244
we have New Mexicotech

1595
00:55:06,228 --> 00:55:06,478
conducting unmanned aircraft

1596
00:55:07,761 --> 00:55:08,011
testing at Plius and research

1597
00:55:09,728 --> 00:55:09,978
involving autonomous systems. We

1598
00:55:11,728 --> 00:55:11,978
have Spaceport America advancing

1599
00:55:13,694 --> 00:55:13,944
public space travel and we have

1600
00:55:15,728 --> 00:55:15,978
public use airports across the

1601
00:55:17,794 --> 00:55:18,044
state that can provide rural and

1602
00:55:19,761 --> 00:55:20,011
remote opportunity or and I'm

1603
00:55:21,994 --> 00:55:22,244
sorry remote operating

1604
00:55:23,794 --> 00:55:24,044
environments that can support

1605
00:55:26,028 --> 00:55:26,278
testing demonstration and

1606
00:55:28,294 --> 00:55:28,544
eventually deployment that's a

1607
00:55:30,094 --> 00:55:30,344
combination that very few states

1608
00:55:30,794 --> 00:55:31,044
can replicate

1609
00:55:33,727 --> 00:55:33,977
the question for us is how do we

1610
00:55:35,494 --> 00:55:35,744
turn these individual assets

1611
00:55:37,494 --> 00:55:37,744
into a coordinated competitive

1612
00:55:38,161 --> 00:55:38,411
advantage for New Mexico.

1613
00:55:41,494 --> 00:55:41,744
because I don't want New Mexico

1614
00:55:42,261 --> 00:55:42,511
simply to be the place where

1615
00:55:44,294 --> 00:55:44,544
somebody comes tests their

1616
00:55:45,994 --> 00:55:46,244
technology, packs it up and

1617
00:55:47,827 --> 00:55:48,077
leaves we should be thinking

1618
00:55:48,427 --> 00:55:48,677
bigger than that.

1619
00:55:49,961 --> 00:55:50,211
slide 9

1620
00:55:53,694 --> 00:55:53,944
the real opportunity is to

1621
00:55:54,261 --> 00:55:54,511
create a pipeline.

1622
00:55:57,994 --> 00:55:58,244
Research here test here then

1623
00:55:59,994 --> 00:56:00,244
integrate and demonstrate the

1624
00:56:02,061 --> 00:56:02,311
technology here and when that

1625
00:56:03,494 --> 00:56:03,744
technology becomes commercially

1626
00:56:05,494 --> 00:56:05,744
viable we want those companies

1627
00:56:07,761 --> 00:56:08,011
to build it here we want them to

1628
00:56:10,027 --> 00:56:10,277
locate here and we want them to

1629
00:56:10,694 --> 00:56:10,944
employ new Mexicans

1630
00:56:13,494 --> 00:56:13,744
that creates opportunities in

1631
00:56:15,494 --> 00:56:15,744
engineering manufacturing,

1632
00:56:17,694 --> 00:56:17,944
aviation operations maintenance

1633
00:56:19,961 --> 00:56:20,211
data cybersecurity and an

1634
00:56:21,661 --> 00:56:21,911
entirely new aviation supply

1635
00:56:22,294 --> 00:56:22,544
chain.

1636
00:56:25,494 --> 00:56:25,744
the role of the aviation

1637
00:56:26,194 --> 00:56:26,444
division has is not to own all

1638
00:56:27,994 --> 00:56:28,244
of that we are to be a

1639
00:56:29,994 --> 00:56:30,244
connector. We can connect our

1640
00:56:31,994 --> 00:56:32,244
airports to our universities we

1641
00:56:33,761 --> 00:56:34,011
can connect our federal partners

1642
00:56:35,961 --> 00:56:36,211
and defense partners with the

1643
00:56:37,961 --> 00:56:38,211
communities we can help identify

1644
00:56:39,761 --> 00:56:40,011
infrastructure that can support

1645
00:56:42,194 --> 00:56:42,444
testing and demonstration and we

1646
00:56:43,727 --> 00:56:43,977
can work with economic

1647
00:56:44,194 --> 00:56:44,444
development and private

1648
00:56:45,727 --> 00:56:45,977
industries so that when

1649
00:56:47,461 --> 00:56:47,711
companies are looking for a

1650
00:56:49,527 --> 00:56:49,777
place to develop and deploy the

1651
00:56:50,227 --> 00:56:50,477
next generation of aviation

1652
00:56:51,861 --> 00:56:52,111
technology. New Mexico was part

1653
00:56:52,561 --> 00:56:52,811
of that conversation

1654
00:56:55,461 --> 00:56:55,711
so if there is one thing I'd

1655
00:56:56,227 --> 00:56:56,477
like the committee to take away

1656
00:56:58,027 --> 00:56:58,277
today. it is that aviation

1657
00:56:59,827 --> 00:57:00,077
investment in New Mexico isn't

1658
00:57:00,527 --> 00:57:00,777
one dimensional.

1659
00:57:02,327 --> 00:57:02,577
next slide please slide10.

1660
00:57:05,761 --> 00:57:06,011
we are investing in

1661
00:57:07,761 --> 00:57:08,011
connectivity. Over the past six

1662
00:57:09,494 --> 00:57:09,744
physical years New Mexico has

1663
00:57:10,261 --> 00:57:10,511
committed79 million to that

1664
00:57:12,294 --> 00:57:12,544
rural air service enhancement

1665
00:57:13,761 --> 00:57:14,011
program. we're investing in

1666
00:57:15,794 --> 00:57:16,044
infrastructure the fiscal year

1667
00:57:18,261 --> 00:57:18,511
$2455 million appropriation

1668
00:57:21,961 --> 00:57:22,211
supported74 airport projects

1669
00:57:23,794 --> 00:57:24,044
across the state and now we have

1670
00:57:25,527 --> 00:57:25,777
an opportunity to leverage

1671
00:57:26,294 --> 00:57:26,544
connectivity and that

1672
00:57:28,294 --> 00:57:28,544
infrastructure are def our

1673
00:57:30,261 --> 00:57:30,511
defense assets our universities

1674
00:57:32,327 --> 00:57:32,577
and our research capabilities to

1675
00:57:33,061 --> 00:57:33,311
invest in something else.

1676
00:57:36,261 --> 00:57:36,511
innovation and economic

1677
00:57:37,994 --> 00:57:38,244
opportunity. Our job at the

1678
00:57:39,727 --> 00:57:39,977
aviation division is to help

1679
00:57:41,727 --> 00:57:41,977
connect those pieces to protect

1680
00:57:43,494 --> 00:57:43,744
the system we have today while

1681
00:57:45,494 --> 00:57:45,744
preparing for New Mexico for

1682
00:57:47,761 --> 00:57:48,011
where aviation is going next and

1683
00:57:48,461 --> 00:57:48,711
to learn more I'd like to invite

1684
00:57:49,961 --> 00:57:50,211
all of you to join us on

1685
00:57:53,761 --> 00:57:54,011
February se7 of2027 for aviation

1686
00:57:55,494 --> 00:57:55,744
and aerospace dayy at the

1687
00:57:57,494 --> 00:57:57,744
legislature. Thank you Mr Chair

1688
00:57:58,194 --> 00:57:58,444
and members of the committee. I

1689
00:57:59,961 --> 00:58:00,211
appreciate your continued

1690
00:58:01,761 --> 00:58:02,011
investment in aviation across

1691
00:58:02,394 --> 00:58:02,644
New Mexico and I'm happy to

1692
00:58:02,927 --> 00:58:03,177
answer any

1693
00:58:04,461 --> 00:58:04,711
questions.

1694
00:58:08,261 --> 00:58:08,511
thank you for your presentation

1695
00:58:10,027 --> 00:58:10,277
it's really enlightening I I

1696
00:58:11,527 --> 00:58:11,777
remember coming onto the

1697
00:58:14,261 --> 00:58:14,511
committee and I was surprised I

1698
00:58:16,027 --> 00:58:16,277
never would have dawned on me

1699
00:58:17,994 --> 00:58:18,244
that aviation was part of TOT

1700
00:58:19,527 --> 00:58:19,777
but it does make sense when you

1701
00:58:21,527 --> 00:58:21,777
really think about it so thank

1702
00:58:22,294 --> 00:58:22,544
you for the informationppreciate

1703
00:58:24,261 --> 00:58:24,511

1709
00:58:34,227 --> 00:58:34,477
the55 million dollars that was

1710
00:58:35,994 --> 00:58:36,244
what year

1711
00:58:39,794 --> 00:58:40,044
Mrir senator that was in

1712
00:58:40,361 --> 00:58:40,611
twenty4.

1713
00:58:41,694 --> 00:58:41,944
fiscal year 24

1714
00:58:45,994 --> 00:58:46,244
fiscal year fiscal so that was

1715
00:58:46,661 --> 00:58:46,911
in the

1716
00:58:47,661 --> 00:58:47,911
session

1717
00:58:48,294 --> 00:58:48,544
and

1718
00:58:52,027 --> 00:58:52,277
and that55 million has

1719
00:58:52,494 --> 00:58:52,744
already been

1720
00:58:55,994 --> 00:58:56,244
spent appropriate I'm sorrymir

1721
00:58:57,727 --> 00:58:57,977
senator yes that was a two

1722
00:59:00,261 --> 00:59:00,511
yearur appropriation and it was

1723
00:59:01,761 --> 00:59:02,011
officially ended in July of this

1724
00:59:02,461 --> 00:59:02,711
year.

1725
00:59:05,527 --> 00:59:05,777
and the and the and essentially

1726
00:59:07,494 --> 00:59:07,744
all the money was spent the

1727
00:59:09,761 --> 00:59:10,011
spent we had a bit remaining and

1728
00:59:11,761 --> 00:59:12,011
that bit that was remaining Mr

1729
00:59:14,027 --> 00:59:14,277
Chair and senator was because of

1730
00:59:16,094 --> 00:59:16,344
projects that either were

1731
00:59:17,794 --> 00:59:18,044
delayed because of lack of

1732
00:59:21,527 --> 00:59:21,777
contractors availability or they

1733
00:59:22,294 --> 00:59:22,544
were delayed due to their city

1734
00:59:24,294 --> 00:59:24,544
procurement processes because

1735
00:59:26,027 --> 00:59:26,277
this was a very short turnaround

1736
00:59:28,294 --> 00:59:28,544
with it only two years to get

1737
00:59:31,561 --> 00:59:31,811
that appropriation spent some of

1738
00:59:32,261 --> 00:59:32,511
the processes within those

1739
00:59:32,827 --> 00:59:33,077
communities take

1740
00:59:34,294 --> 00:59:34,544
quite a bit longer particularly

1741
00:59:36,327 --> 00:59:36,577
our tribal communities. Thank

1742
00:59:37,794 --> 00:59:38,044
you, Mister Chairman Director

1743
00:59:38,427 --> 00:59:38,677
the

1744
00:59:39,827 --> 00:59:40,077
so let's figure out

1745
00:59:43,827 --> 00:59:44,077
between now and Christmas or so

1746
00:59:45,794 --> 00:59:46,044
what what the capacity would be

1747
00:59:47,794 --> 00:59:48,044
now to spend money within a two

1748
00:59:49,527 --> 00:59:49,777
year period cause I think it's

1749
00:59:50,194 --> 00:59:50,444
probably time for another for

1750
00:59:53,527 --> 00:59:53,777
another round the so these

1751
00:59:54,561 --> 00:59:54,811
these were essentially public

1752
00:59:56,327 --> 00:59:56,577
works projects infrastructure

1753
00:59:58,327 --> 00:59:58,577
projects understood awesome

1754
00:59:59,927 --> 01:00:00,177
thank you so much thank you

1755
01:00:00,461 --> 01:00:00,711
director. Thank you

1756
01:00:04,227 --> 01:00:04,477
thank you we have three more

1757
01:00:06,027 --> 01:00:06,277
speakers and I think we have a

1758
01:00:08,227 --> 01:00:08,477
couple on Zoom am I correct and

1759
01:00:10,194 --> 01:00:10,444
I will ask that they be very

1760
01:00:10,861 --> 01:00:11,111
very brief

1761
01:00:14,261 --> 01:00:14,511
first we have Mr Bob Hudson,

1762
01:00:16,027 --> 01:00:16,277
manager Moriorty municipal

1763
01:00:18,027 --> 01:00:18,277
Airport president New Mexico

1764
01:00:20,094 --> 01:00:20,344
airport Manager association. Mr

1765
01:00:20,761 --> 01:00:21,011
Hudson, are you

1766
01:00:21,627 --> 01:00:21,877
there

1767
01:00:28,227 --> 01:00:28,477
Yes, I am and thank you Mr Chair

1768
01:00:30,227 --> 01:00:30,477
for this opportunity to speak as

1769
01:00:31,794 --> 01:00:32,044
the president of the airport

1770
01:00:32,461 --> 01:00:32,711
managers association I

1771
01:00:37,494 --> 01:00:37,744
link up with quite a few

1772
01:00:39,494 --> 01:00:39,744
city leaders around the state of

1773
01:00:41,527 --> 01:00:41,777
the5foub use airports we have

1774
01:00:42,294 --> 01:00:42,544
and I will tell you this that

1775
01:00:42,961 --> 01:00:43,211
since

1776
01:00:48,294 --> 01:00:48,544
uhjesse owon came in the airport

1777
01:00:51,794 --> 01:00:52,044
system has been very well it's

1778
01:00:54,327 --> 01:00:54,577
not100% but it's a lot better

1779
01:00:56,294 --> 01:00:56,544
than it's been in the past. The

1780
01:00:57,761 --> 01:00:58,011
problem we face as airport

1781
01:00:58,461 --> 01:00:58,711
managers is a lot of the

1782
01:01:02,060 --> 01:01:02,310
city leaders and city

1783
01:01:04,294 --> 01:01:04,544
councils don't really appreciate

1784
01:01:06,027 --> 01:01:06,277
or understand the value of the

1785
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:08,210
airports. I'm constantly being

1786
01:01:10,227 --> 01:01:10,477
pressed by city leaders saying

1787
01:01:11,494 --> 01:01:11,744
that their airport brings

1788
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:14,010
nothing to their city and

1789
01:01:14,294 --> 01:01:14,544
unfortunately they don't

1790
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:16,010
understand the effect of the

1791
01:01:17,727 --> 01:01:17,977
gross receipts taxes the effect

1792
01:01:19,994 --> 01:01:20,244
of the publicity with with those

1793
01:01:22,260 --> 01:01:22,510
airports they are very robust.

1794
01:01:24,060 --> 01:01:24,310
Take Moriority for example right

1795
01:01:25,527 --> 01:01:25,777
now we have a company here at

1796
01:01:27,794 --> 01:01:28,044
Moriarty called Sky which is

1797
01:01:28,627 --> 01:01:28,877
about to explode you're about to

1798
01:01:29,260 --> 01:01:29,510
hear a lot about sky

1799
01:01:31,894 --> 01:01:32,144
as as they

1800
01:01:35,527 --> 01:01:35,777
as they as they grow and the

1801
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:36,410
money they're bringing to the

1802
01:01:38,027 --> 01:01:38,277
stancia alley and Moriorty

1803
01:01:41,494 --> 01:01:41,744
issues they're building a device

1804
01:01:42,194 --> 01:01:42,444
that looks very much like a

1805
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:43,010
durgible

1806
01:01:45,494 --> 01:01:45,744
it goes airborne will be

1807
01:01:47,494 --> 01:01:47,744
airborne for a long periods of

1808
01:01:48,194 --> 01:01:48,444
time they just flew one out

1809
01:01:51,494 --> 01:01:51,744
ofRoswell to Japan and back to

1810
01:01:52,227 --> 01:01:52,477
Moriorty

1811
01:01:55,527 --> 01:01:55,777
this is just gonna increase a

1812
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:56,610
huge amount of income

1813
01:01:58,260 --> 01:01:58,510
to the valley more and

1814
01:01:59,794 --> 01:02:00,044
tomoriority and that's just one

1815
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:02,210
of the small things airports can

1816
01:02:04,027 --> 01:02:04,277
do for cities. The last thing I

1817
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:06,010
want to talk about is the55

1818
01:02:08,227 --> 01:02:08,477
million. they're a programs and

1819
01:02:11,727 --> 01:02:11,977
and materials that the

1820
01:02:13,527 --> 01:02:13,777
Moriarty missile airport has

1821
01:02:14,494 --> 01:02:14,744
been asking for for years the

1822
01:02:15,994 --> 01:02:16,244
state did not have the money to

1823
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:18,010
give us the federal government

1824
01:02:20,260 --> 01:02:20,510
did not prioritize these needs

1825
01:02:21,794 --> 01:02:22,044
high enough but with the55

1826
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:22,610
million dollars

1827
01:02:25,727 --> 01:02:25,977
after 13 years I was finally

1828
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:28,210
able to acquire materials to

1829
01:02:31,527 --> 01:02:31,777
keep my airport nice looking and

1830
01:02:32,494 --> 01:02:32,744
safe and I really appreciate the

1831
01:02:35,727 --> 01:02:35,977
help that the legislator did and

1832
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:38,010
I'll give this over to the next

1833
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:40,210
speaker but thank you. thank you

1834
01:02:41,994 --> 01:02:42,244
so much Mr Hudson. Next we have

1835
01:02:43,994 --> 01:02:44,244
Mr Jody Young administrator

1836
01:02:45,494 --> 01:02:45,744
Donana County International

1837
01:02:46,094 --> 01:02:46,344
Airport. are you there

1838
01:02:48,460 --> 01:02:48,710
Mr Young

1839
01:02:52,294 --> 01:02:52,544
Yes sir, I am Mister chairir

1840
01:02:53,794 --> 01:02:54,044
and committee members, I

1841
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:54,610
appreciate this opportunity as

1842
01:02:55,027 --> 01:02:55,277
well.

1843
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:58,210
as mentioned, if you're

1844
01:02:59,727 --> 01:02:59,977
not familiar we are located in

1845
01:03:00,394 --> 01:03:00,644
the southern part of the state

1846
01:03:03,794 --> 01:03:04,044
appreciate the representative

1847
01:03:05,527 --> 01:03:05,777
that brought up the New Mexico

1848
01:03:06,227 --> 01:03:06,477
trade port. I think we're a

1849
01:03:07,994 --> 01:03:08,244
significant arm of that and that

1850
01:03:10,027 --> 01:03:10,277
is a a big thing that that

1851
01:03:11,527 --> 01:03:11,777
between the industrial park here

1852
01:03:13,794 --> 01:03:14,044
in Santa Teresa and Las

1853
01:03:15,794 --> 01:03:16,044
cruces and the role that we play

1854
01:03:16,494 --> 01:03:16,744
here withwataz and the

1855
01:03:18,260 --> 01:03:18,510
crossborder trade is

1856
01:03:20,227 --> 01:03:20,477
significant and I think

1857
01:03:21,527 --> 01:03:21,777
Jessse hit on a lot of things

1858
01:03:22,127 --> 01:03:22,377
that are important I'm on the

1859
01:03:23,694 --> 01:03:23,944
board of directors with Bob and

1860
01:03:27,994 --> 01:03:28,244
the money that helps us not only

1861
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:30,010
with the the public support

1862
01:03:31,494 --> 01:03:31,744
piece of this the the

1863
01:03:33,494 --> 01:03:33,744
maintenance you know for me

1864
01:03:34,127 --> 01:03:34,377
personally down here at this at

1865
01:03:36,060 --> 01:03:36,310
the jet port we are exploding

1866
01:03:40,127 --> 01:03:40,377
the amount of industrial growth

1867
01:03:42,027 --> 01:03:42,277
that is happening here which for

1868
01:03:43,827 --> 01:03:44,077
the jet port again it brings

1869
01:03:46,027 --> 01:03:46,277
corporate aircraft it brings

1870
01:03:47,794 --> 01:03:48,044
customers and people flying

1871
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:49,810
through here routinely to do the

1872
01:03:51,794 --> 01:03:52,044
crossborder trade mission and

1873
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:54,010
to to meet the needs of their

1874
01:03:56,227 --> 01:03:56,477
customers and of the the

1875
01:03:58,260 --> 01:03:58,510
businesses alike we've exploded

1876
01:03:59,994 --> 01:04:00,244
along with our hanger use and

1877
01:04:00,694 --> 01:04:00,944
we've gotten a tremendous amount

1878
01:04:03,494 --> 01:04:03,744
of support in the growth I think

1879
01:04:05,527 --> 01:04:05,777
but there's always room for us

1880
01:04:06,227 --> 01:04:06,477
to go back and work we have a

1881
01:04:09,527 --> 01:04:09,777

1882
01:04:10,294 --> 01:04:10,544
was mentioned the pavement

1883
01:04:12,294 --> 01:04:12,544

1885
01:04:16,027 --> 01:04:16,277
same thing here on our taxiways

move forward, support the trade,

1890
01:04:24,294 --> 01:04:24,544
support the crossborder trade

1891
01:04:27,527 --> 01:04:27,777

part of the state and just

1894
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:32,010
