The Town of Bernalillo’s Governing Body adopted the FY2025/2026 final budget and approved several related budget adjustments and financial items during its July 28 regular meeting.

Council also approved Resolution 07/28/2025C, the FY2025 fourth-quarter financial report, which the resolution states is certified as correct and is being forwarded to the Local Government Division of the Department of Finance and Administration for review. The Governing Body then adopted Resolution 07/28/2025D, the FY2025/2026 final budget; the resolution notes the budget includes a 4% payroll-rate increase and that the adoption followed legal advertising and departmental input.
In the financial section the council approved an accounts-payable voucher list totaling $590,534.49 by motion of Councilor Torres-Quintana, seconded by Councilor Prairie, with a unanimous roll-call vote.
During miscellaneous announcements Gray said auditors are being contacted to start the next audit and that she will be out of the office; Chief Stoyell and Recreation and Community Development staff provided community-event reminders. Gray said, "I will be out of the office on Thursday, and I will be returning on the 7th of August. Another announcement is that we are communicating with our auditors and we're starting up conversations for the new audit. That's going to be coming around and being able to successfully complete that by December 15th." Chief Stoyell said, "National Night Out will be on August 5th. We're going to have two locations. One will be at Cottonwood Circle across the river..." and Recreation Director Mike Kloeppel invited the public to a Camp Coronado pizza party and noted the pool will close after Saturday.
All budget and financial resolutions, and the accounts-payable approval, passed on unanimous roll-call votes with Councilors Valverde, Prairie, Montoya and Torres-Quintana recorded as "Yea."
