Bernalillo County approves bonds, economic outreach and parks planning; glyphosate policy amended
Summary
Bernalillo County commissioners on March 25 approved a set of financial moves — including the sale of 2025 general obligation bonds and a conduit issuance for an affordable housing project — adopted a new process for economic‑development community dialogues and approved a revised vegetation‑management resolution that allows limited spot use of glyphosate while directing staff to complete an Integrated Vegetation Management and Maintenance Plan within a year.
Bernalillo County commissioners on March 25 adopted a package of financial and policy actions including the sale of 2025 general obligation bonds, approval of an affordable-housing project revenue bond conduit issuance and a set of resolutions covering economic development outreach and vegetation management.

The finance items included final approval of the county’s 2025 general obligation (GO) bond sale, routine write‑offs of old receivables and a project revenue bond conduit issuance to help an Albuquerque Housing Authority affordable housing project move forward.
Why it matters: The financial approvals release capital for county roads, parks, public safety and housing projects and free up local matching dollars the county can use for priority projects. The vegetation policy vote directs parks staff to complete a one‑year Integrated Vegetation Management and Maintenance Plan (IVMMP) and creates a temporary, limited exception allowing spot use of glyphosate in specified high‑hazard areas until the plan is adopted.
