Socorro council corrects language on cybersecurity grant resolution; staff says award covers equipment, not overtime
Summary
Council approved an update to Resolution 8-12 to correct administrative language for an Office of the Governor FY2026 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program award; city staff said the grant is for cybersecurity equipment, not overtime, and that the award has already been made with no financial impact to the city.
The Socorro City Council on Feb. 19 approved an administrative correction to Resolution 8-12 to align the record with the actual Office of the Governor FY2026 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program award.
Alejandro Miranda, who identified himself as the city development director, told the council staff had "incorrectly stated in the resolution that the grant would cover overtime hours." He said staff requested the update because "this grant is for a cyber security technology equipment project" and the change "doesn't have any financial impact on the award" because the grant has already been awarded.
Council members asked no substantive questions and, after a procedural clarification about making a motion, voted to approve the corrected language. The presiding official called for the motion, which received a second, and the council voted "aye." The transcript records the motion carried by voice vote.
The item was described in the agenda as an update to Resolution 8-12 pertaining to a grant award from the Office of the Governor's FY2026 SLCGP for the Socorro cybersecurity mitigation project. Staff emphasized the update is administrative language only; no change to funding or project scope was stated in the meeting record.
The resolution update was approved during the Feb. 19 meeting; staff did not indicate any required match or additional city financial commitment in the recorded discussion.
