Doña Ana County commissioners approve consent agenda including airport master plan grant, housing and park contracts

The Doña Ana County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved the consent agenda at its May 27 meeting, accepting a Federal Aviation Administration grant to update the airport master plan, approving a grant to buy and develop affordable housing units for low- and moderate-income households, and awarding a contract to renovate the softball fields at Colquitt Park.

The consent agenda bundled several routine approvals; Anita Skipper, communications coordinator for Doña Ana County, summarized the actions in the meeting recap. The items were approved without recorded opposition during the consent portion of the meeting.

The approved FAA grant will be used to update the county airport master plan, the recap said; the county did not provide a dollar amount in the meeting summary. The housing grant was described as intended to buy and develop affordable units targeted to low- and moderate-income households, also without a funding total given. The commission also awarded a contract to perform renovations on the softball fields at Colquitt Park; the recap did not specify the contractor name or contract value.

The meeting summary directed residents who want more detail to the county website and the full meeting video on the Doña Ana County government YouTube channel for agenda packets, contract documents or grant agreements.

Documents on the county website will provide the formal grant agreements, contract terms and any conditions tied to the approvals.
