Summary

Trustees approved a lease to host State Legislative Council offices in village facilities for $1,500 per month, citing benefits for community access to legislators and noting the office's adjacency to the village fire substation.

The Board of Trustees voted to approve a lease between the Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and the New Mexico Legislative Council to house legislative offices in village-owned space.

Administrator John Avila explained the lease terms and said the monthly rent of $1,500 is above a typical per-square-foot market rate but provides direct access for residents to meet legislators and for legislative staff to hold meetings locally. Trustees asked whether the space would be sublet and whether the leased suite is adjacent to the village's fire substation; Avila said the space will accommodate legislators and staff and that the location is next to a substation.

Trustees moved and seconded the lease approval and the motion carried by voice vote.
