Ruidoso council approves $4.9 million amended contract with Dubble LLC for river intake system

The Village of Ruidoso council voted unanimously to approve an amended contract with Dubble LLC for the 2 River Intake and Transmission System, increasing the total to $4,923,873.62 to include New Mexico gross receipts tax.

A councilor introduced a clerical correction to agenda item 10, saying the originally approved amount of $4,551,240.78 should be updated. "As amended, it would read with New Mexico gross receipts tax at $4,923,873.62," the councilor said. The council then moved and seconded the correction and proceeded to a roll call vote.

The clerk conducted the roll call; Councilor Jackson, Councilor ******, Councilor Corey, Councilor Eby, Councilor Letterman and Mayor Pro Tem Salas each voted "Aye," and the motion passed. The transcript does not identify who made the original motion to approve the underlying contract prior to the clerical correction; the second on the correction was recorded in the meeting audio.

The amendment specified that the larger figure reflects the inclusion of New Mexico gross receipts tax; the transcript does not record additional funding sources, contract duration, or associated departmental budgets. The item was identified in the record as being with Dubble LLC for the "2 River Intake and Transmission System." The council had moved out of a preceding closed session before taking up the item.

After the vote the mayor said, "That concludes all the business for the village of Ruidoso. This meeting is adjourned." No further follow-up steps, implementation assignments, or funding breakdowns were recorded in the provided transcript.

Meeting participants recorded in the transcript were the presiding mayor, a councilor who proposed the clerical correction, and the clerk who called roll. Specific mover of the original contract motion was not specified in the audio record provided.
