Los Ranchos approves planning‑director appointment, IT contract and voting delegate
Summary
Trustees confirmed Shana Schultz as planning and zoning director, authorized an IT services contract with My IT Support LLC, and named Mayor Rael the village voting delegate to the New Mexico Municipal League conference; votes were unanimous by voice.
At the Aug. 19 meeting trustees confirmed Shana Schultz as the village's new planning and zoning director. Schultz told the board she brought municipal planning experience focused on policy and regulation; trustees welcomed the appointment.
The board also authorized the mayor to sign a contract with My IT Support LLC following an RFP and discussion of local market dynamics. Kiko, who represents the vendor, explained that the industry has consolidated into remote and cloud‑first support models and said remote first‑level support keeps costs down.
Finally trustees named Mayor Lawrence Rael as the village voting delegate to the New Mexico Municipal League annual conference (Sept. 17–19, 2025) and designated alternates (administrator or clerk). All three items passed by voice vote during the meeting.
What happens next: Schultz will assume director responsibilities and work through an initial list of zoning amendments; village staff will finalize the IT services contract and the mayor will represent the village at the municipal‑league conference unless an elected official substitutes.
