Votes at a glance — Alamogordo City Commission, June 23, 2026
Summary
Summary of formal votes taken June 23 by the Alamogordo City Commission: consent agenda approvals, a change order for the new fire station, approval of the city manager contract, ICIP adoption, and approval of uncollectibles resolution with exceptions.
At its June 23 meeting the Alamogordo City Commission took the following formal actions:
- Consent agenda: Approved items 3, 4 and 8 after items 5, 6 and 7 were pulled for discussion (voice vote recorded as 7–0).
- Fire station change order (Item 5): Approved Change Order No. 2 to add procurement and installation of new apparatus bay doors to the prime construction contract, adding $83,068 (excluding NMGT) and extending the contract by 70 days. Vote recorded as 6–1 in favor. Staff said a purchase order under the existing overhead doors RFP had been denied by finance, requiring the change order so the prime contractor would assume warranty responsibility.
- City manager agreement (Item 7): Approved a contract with Robert Stockwell. The motion passed 5–2. Multiple public commenters had urged the commission to delay action pending public vetting and records disclosure.
- ICIP (Item 9): Adopted Resolution 2026‑22 approving the Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan and the top five recommended capital outlay projects for FY 2028–2032; vote recorded as 7–0. Commissioners discussed moving the Dudley School renovation ahead of Balloon Park funding due to cost and near‑term readiness; staff said Dudley needs roughly $150k–$160k more to finish the project.
- Uncollectible accounts (Item 6): Staff asked to remove three large abatement demolition accounts (totaling nearly $250,000) from the resolution while pursuing additional collection steps; the remainder of the resolution was approved 7–0 after excluding those accounts.
These actions were recorded on the June 23, 2026 meeting record and were effective at the time of vote unless otherwise noted. Members of the public were encouraged by commissioners to request public records for details on payouts and contract history that were discussed during the meeting.
