Staff also flagged the International Half Marathon this Sunday (the city is a sponsor) and an art show, Queer Magnetism, that opened last Thursday with a crowd of more than 400 and will remain open to the public through Nov. 1.

These items were presented as informational; no formal committee action or funding decisions were taken during the update.","Staff reported that two initiatives will be honored at the governor's conference, announced a new downtown business coordinator focused on Guadalupe Street, reminded the public of an occupancy tax grant deadline and highlighted several upcoming arts and sports events.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979836,"City Hall moves to single point of entry; Community Health & Safety reports staffing and senior services updates",162,334000,496000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793795-69f3274336441206fa628c89840e692e&start=334&end=496","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793795-69f3274336441206fa628c89840e692e/thumbnail_334000.jpg","/articles/5979836/Santa-Fe/Santa-Fe-County/New-Mexico/City-Hall-moves-to-single-point-of-entry-Community-Health-Safety-reports-staffing-and-senior-services-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979836-8d43649f373a668c60010e0ad4d74f72/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983640&Signature=HrKQY9hPzGlLeSUH1vy4eVq5AeiwfIWTXSdB9qjR9Sl9HBYyFR5QR85tz8rfAZGkkQimlZgRcgtLMwaMOIXB1cKBZIM3ulTPfHkKO72Y23hHt0qDjRsz26to4N5DyImRwlfhlVWmjrCrAlVmVLpCDxK7J34cRA9R6PUQsP9x5cbyzCCboLrVbkYWPWR7zU7Mz2omWwEP19Zw7jHPVSEWPDVsKisn2ddRcUO0EzlTN6JXQbyBjPZ8b4lwzg-Yy4Fns1ouycihTzw9NEWHalg9xhlxdw3fK1kvMIj7vXjV8tLY0yu~7bjiZ9Yg4wIIUU5iUp2kp4YAjb3JWouUR6CHCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Quality of Life Committee on Sept. 17 that City Hall now operates with a single point of entry for staff and the public, a security change the department said responds to recent public-safety incidents and aligns city practice with other government entities in the capital region.

The Community Health & Safety Department representative said, \"We now have a a single point of entry for, staff and the public to come in through the main doors on Lincoln Avenue. This is in response to a handful of, public safety incidents across the country as well as here in Santa Fe and New Mexico more broadly.\" The representative added the change is intended to improve constituent experience through greeters who can orient visitors to offices.

Staff also reported progress on senior services and staffing. Director Sanchez Tucker will speak Sept. 24 at the New Mexico Conference on Aging in Glorietta and has been working on an age-friendly action plan alongside Councilor Chavez. The department said the Baile de Oro senior event drew more than 300 attendees this year, up from about 125 at the event's start three years ago.

The committee was told the human services division hired a new director, Leah Salaveri, who began work Monday. staff said Salaveri previously served as a district director for a city council president in Oakland and most recently worked at Pallet Shelter LLC, which designs emergency housing for people experiencing homelessness and displacement.

Staff said they are \"working to investigate and understand more of the context around, the city of Austin's decisions to end their contracts with Urban Alchemy\" and promised a briefing to the committee when additional information is available.

No policy actions, budget changes or formal directives were taken during the update; staff presented informational items and commitments to return with more information on the Austin/Urban Alchemy contract review.","The committee heard that City Hall now has a single point of entry for staff and the public; the Community Health & Safety Department also reported senior program growth, a new human services director hire, and an investigation into Austin's termination of Urban Alchemy contracts.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979843,"Committee approves donation of Las Estrellas Tract 6A to HomeWise for affordable housing",92,114000,206000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793795-69f3274336441206fa628c89840e692e&start=114&end=206","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793795-69f3274336441206fa628c89840e692e/thumbnail_114000.jpg","/articles/5979843/Santa-Fe/Santa-Fe-County/New-Mexico/Committee-approves-donation-of-Las-Estrellas-Tract-6A-to-HomeWise-for-affordable-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979843-3dfb57e43e0eb997c3166477e9b3b309/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983640&Signature=k8X9BgWYiCkDRFYf5eGRzCQlyjof9pjZXkCDcy~3qsVaxrJqPbqTQixozniKg1J47NVZnxqUBYTYNYryyw6qjThG7iO2AuoYBQZZ5qzESNMHA0MAPds2C7nr5Rih0YbcOrpcx4RdCPRPUQzn-qRVr8fZEAQFPmtAL0-N9oyk-w5HTlyUFdbViN3iSfc1I-3bDHOENALasjZaP0oMsTlIBRLZlQsK1x8XJ12npb0xTA1KJohDcgM4enjHHY5nM4unWSRgq1dMlymdsm-vPg8piA4QGxt3nkf9v~usS6ix1SG3CPqH2mAiRXRaV1YWefq3SYZ7fJnBLSxps5NLUUZGbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Santa Fe Quality of Life Committee approved a donation agreement on Sept. 17 to transfer Las Estrellas Tract 6 A to the nonprofit HomeWise for development as affordable housing after a 2-1 roll call vote that included confusion from the member who moved the motion.

The vote matters because it transfers a city-owned parcel — identified in committee as Las Estrellas Tract 6 A — to HomeWise for development as affordable housing, although the committee did not discuss a price, timeline or implementation details at the meeting.

Committee member Councilor Castro moved to approve the donation and Councilor Faulkner seconded. During the roll call, Castro said she would vote no; Faulkner voted yes and Chair Councilor Chavez voted yes. After brief confusion about the mover's intent and the vote count, the chair declared the motion passed 2-1.

Councilor Castro told the committee, \"I support HomeWise, and we need affordable housing. I'm a little hesitant on donating any city land at this time. I think that we need a more holistic plan. And with that, move to approve.\" Castro later explained she had moved to approve but had voted no initially because she did not expect a second.

Committee members and staff noted that Terry Lease was the staff contact on the item but that staff were not present for discussion. No additional details about the donation agreement's terms, a development timeline, or funding for infrastructure were provided during the meeting.

Discussion: The committee did not engage in further substantive debate on conditions or implementation; the transcript shows questions about the vote mechanics but no amendments or instructions to staff to negotiate terms.

Outcome/direction: The committee approved the donation agreement; the meeting record contains no further direction to staff about next steps, amending the agreement, or certification of value.

For now, no timeline, appraisal, reciprocal obligations, or staff report were presented at the Quality of Life Committee meeting; those details were not specified and were not part of the recorded discussion.","The Quality of Life Committee voted 2-1 to approve a donation agreement that transfers Las Estrellas Tract 6 A to HomeWise for development as affordable housing; the vote included verbal confusion from the mover about how she intended to vote.","actionData","errors"]
