County council liaison previews $40M broadband bond hearing, strategic-plan refinements and veterans recognition
Summary
Council liaison reported strategic-plan wording changes to emphasize expanding access and community partnerships, noted that a prior council vote increased gross‑receipts tax, and previewed a public hearing in roughly two weeks on $40 million in bonds for community broadband projects; Operation Greenlight veterans recognition was also highlighted.
Council liaison Councilor Reedy briefed the Los Alamos Health Council on recent county strategic planning and other countywide items.
Reedy said the county clarified strategic-plan language to emphasize "expand access to a variety of services" and to set apart community partnership organizations from intergovernmental and tribal relations. "We have quality of life as a focus area," Reedy said, describing changes meant to align county priorities with health‑council interests.
He told the council the board previously voted to increase the gross‑receipts tax at an earlier meeting. Looking ahead, Reedy said there will be a public hearing in about two weeks on $40,000,000 in bonds proposed to support community broadband projects.
Reedy also described the county’s participation in Operation Greenlight to recognize veterans and noted Small Business Saturday outreach and a tax holiday aimed at supporting local businesses.
No formal actions on these items were taken by the health council at the meeting; Reedy’s report was informational and members asked clarifying questions about the strategic‑plan wording and governance priorities.
