Board approves P&M utility easement at Bus Barn site after executive session
Summary
After an executive-session review, the Santa Fe Public Schools board voted to grant a P&M utility easement at the district Bus Barn site; the discussion was conducted under statutes permitting executive session for real property and personnel matters.
The Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education voted April 24 to grant a P&M utility easement at the district Bus Barn site after an executive-session discussion.
Board members moved into executive session earlier in the meeting under NMSA 1978 section 10-15-1(H) to discuss "purchase, acquisition, or disposal of real property" and later announced in open session that they had discussed the Bus Barn utility easement and that "no action was taken" during the closed portion. When the board reconvened in open session, a motion to grant the P&M utility easement was made, seconded and carried on a voice vote.
Why it matters: Granting a utility easement can affect district property rights and future site use at the Bus Barn location and may be a precondition to utility work or development on district land.
Board action and authority cited: The board identified the executive-session statutory authority as NMSA 1978 section 10-15-1 and used that authority to hold the closed discussion of the easement before making the open-session motion to grant it. The motion to grant the easement carried on a voice vote; the transcript does not show a roll-call tally.
Next steps: The operations or facilities team will execute the easement documentation consistent with the board'approved action and any terms discussed in executive session.
