Summary

The Santa Fe City Council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution declaring the city’s legislative priorities for the state session, aligning them with priorities recently adopted by the City of Friendswood.

The Santa Fe City Council voted unanimously Jan. 23 to adopt a resolution declaring the city’s priorities for the 2025 state legislative session, council members said.

Mayor Brandon Nono called the motion; Council member Marks moved to approve the resolution with the same goals adopted by the City of Friendswood, and a colleague seconded. Natalie, the city secretary, conducted a roll call. Council members McCamey, Dickerson, Gennett, Marks and Schrader all voted “yes,” and the motion passed.

City Manager Alan described the resolution as a way for Santa Fe to state the city’s legislative interests — generally focused on powers for municipalities and local governance — and told council members they could tailor the list if they preferred a different set of priorities.

The action places the city’s priorities on record so Santa Fe can convey them to state legislators and municipal associations during the session.
