Summary

After a presentation on Executive Order No. 2026-026 and discussion of Section 60-2C-8.1 NMSA 1978, the Board determined no fireworks restrictions were necessary at this time and directed staff not to return the item unless conditions change.

Mayor Gabriel I. Holguin presented Executive Order No. 2026-026 regarding statewide drought and severe fire conditions; City Attorney Enrique Palomares summarized the statutory standard under Section 60-2C-8.1 NMSA 1978 for implementing local fireworks restrictions. Trustees discussed current local conditions and legal thresholds for restricting fireworks.

After discussion, the Board concluded that no immediate action was required and directed staff not to return the item unless future conditions warranted reconsideration. The decision was procedural: staff will continue to monitor conditions and the City can implement restrictions later if legal criteria are met.
