Bernalillo council ratifies hires, approves $3,538 library adjustment and $1.8M in payments
Summary
Council ratified two hires (Police Department administrative assistant; Water Field Supervisor), approved a $3,538 budget adjustment for the Library Donation Fund, and approved accounts payable totaling $1,801,764.46.
At its June 8 meeting the Bernalillo Governing Body approved several administrative and financial items by roll call vote.
Personnel: Clerk/Administrator Ida Fierro reported the hiring committee recommended ratifying two appointments. The council approved the hiring of Honora Langwell as Administrative Assistant for the Police Department (motion by Councilor Torres‑Quintana; second by Councilor Prairie; roll call yeas: Valverde, Montoya, Prairie, Torres‑Quintana). Consolation for the record: Ida Fierro stated it was the hiring committee’s recommendation to ratify the hire.
The council also approved the hiring of Eric Moreno as Water Field Supervisor (motion by Councilor Torres‑Quintana; second by Councilor Prairie; roll call approved: Montoya, Prairie, Valverde, Torres‑Quintana).
Budget adjustment: The council approved Resolution 06/08/2026A to create an expenditure budget of $3,538 in Special Fund 21807 (Library Donation Fund) for Books & Programs, funded from the fund’s cash balance.
Accounts payable: The council approved the accounts payable voucher list for June 8, 2026, totaling $1,801,764.46 (motion by Councilor Torres‑Quintana; second by Councilor Valverde; roll call recorded aye votes by Torres‑Quintana, Montoya, Valverde and Prairie).
Why it matters: the hires fill operational roles in Police and Public Works; the small budget adjustment authorizes donor funds for library programs; the accounts payable approval clears monthly vendor and contract payments.
