The Deming City Council voted to approve an ordinance authorizing General Obligation bonds of $2.5 million following a public hearing held July 21.
Bond counsel Linda Melendrez summarized the bond that had been presented at a prior council meeting. During public comment, a resident asked what the bond proceeds would be used for; City Manager Aaron Sera said, "it is not specific it only goes to roads, lights and repairs," and explained that roads are graded and ranked for repair priority. One public commenter spoke off topic about the quality of road repairs.
After closing public comment, the council voted by roll call to approve the ordinance. The minutes record the bond amount discussed as $2.5 million; the record does not list a specific project-by-project spending plan or a timeline for bond issuance.
