The City Manager reported at the council meeting that City Hall’s passport-processing activity generated more than $46,000 in December and that the last eight days tracked (including holiday days) produced over $33,000 in passport revenue. The manager said the city receives $35 per passport, $15 for a photo and $1 for copies, and urged residents to use city services.

The manager also reminded council members and residents that Fiesta de Pueblo will be held at Community Park on the coming Saturday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., and asked any council members participating in opening ceremonies to arrive after 11:20 a.m.

Why it matters: the passport-processing revenue is a notable source of non-tax revenue for the city and the Fiesta is a public event expected to draw residents.

No actions were taken at the meeting on either item; the manager’s report was informational.
