Mesilla to schedule work sessions on nuisance, noise, University Avenue and municipal-streets ordinances
Summary
Trustees set tentative work‑session dates to review updates to nuisance and noise ordinances, consider the University Avenue corridor and Mesilla Park historic designation, and examine municipal‑streets/one‑way proposals; staff emphasized public outreach.
Town staff told the board they will schedule multiple work sessions and public hearings to review four ordinance packages: nuisance code updates, a pending noise‑ordinance update (follow-up public hearing proposed in late August), a University Avenue corridor discussion that would include Mesilla Park historic‑designation questions (proposed Sept. 3–4), and a review of municipal streets with potential one‑way proposals for narrow historic roads. The chair said many of the sessions will require extended discussion and recommended dates be selected to allow broad public participation.
Staff said they will over-communicate via mailings, door‑to‑door outreach or a newsletter and will post hearing notices so residents in affected neighborhoods can give input prior to trustee decisions. Trustees and staff also agreed to collect written comments and to post dates once trustee availability is finalized.
