The Quality of Life Committee approved Amendment No.1 to IGA item 24‑0555 with the State of New Mexico Aging and Long Term Services Department to reallocate 2.25 volunteer service years from the Senior Companion Program to the CARE Companion Program. The amendment does not change compensation or the agreement term, which runs through June 30, 2025.
Councilor Garcia recused from the discussion and vote, saying he works for the federal agency that operates the Senior Companion Program. With Garcia temporarily absent, members moved and seconded the item and approved it by roll call.
Nut graf: The change reallocates volunteer service years between two federally supported companion programs the city administers locally and does not change funding levels or contract duration.
Staff noted there was no staff presenter because the item had been pulled by the recusing councilor; the committee moved the amendment with no further debate.
Ending: The amendment was approved without change to compensation or term; Councilor Garcia left and rejoined the meeting following the vote.
