Sandoval County approves appointments, procurement awards and housing bond intent; several routine items pass unanimously
Summary
At its meeting, the commission confirmed planning‑commission appointments, authorized a private activity bond intent for an affordable housing project, approved multiple on-call service contracts and adopted routine asset and IT dispositions.
Sandoval County commissioners approved a series of routine and project-related motions, including appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission, an intent resolution to begin the process for a private activity bond for an affordable housing project, and multiple procurement awards for on‑call services.
Appointments: The commission appointed Kevin Shelton (District 2) and Jerry Mangum (District 3) to the Planning and Zoning Commission to fill vacancies created by resignations. Both appointees introduced themselves and received supportive remarks from commissioners before the motions passed.
Housing bond intent: The board adopted an intent resolution to begin the process of issuing private activity bonds to support remodeling and restoration of an affordable housing complex off Meadowlark in Rio Rancho. Staff said the resolution starts due diligence and that state Board of Finance approval will be required before any bond issuance or final transaction.
Procurements and approvals: Commissioners certified the county’s capital asset inventory for the year, approved disposal of obsolete IT equipment (with data‑shredding handled by a third‑party vendor), and awarded a property‑abatement contract to Builders Tech New Mexico. The commission also approved dual contracts for drug and medical services (Concentra and DSI) to support county personnel needs and awarded multi‑vendor on‑call contracts for HVAC, electrical and plumbing services to ensure backup coverage for critical facilities. Roll calls recorded affirmative votes on all these items.
Community services and small items: The board approved a four‑year agreement for the senior program with Aging and Long‑Term Services and confirmed staff promotions within Community Services. The chair closed the meeting with thanks to community partners and a holiday message.
