Council approves multiple routine resolutions, grant applications and agreements
Summary
Council approved notice to proceed on Title 7 amendments and a package of resolutions including renumbering resolutions, an electronic payments fee, finance policies, a $138,000 Water Trust Board design grant application, a $2.4M PPRF loan application for Fire Station 1, reimbursements, and the wildfire mitigation agreement.
At the meeting the council approved a series of motions and roll-call votes on administrative, financial and capital items.
Major actions included: (1) notice to proceed with the committee-recommended Title 7 ordinance amendments (vote passed by roll call); (2) renumbering of duplicated water/sewer availability resolution numbers (administrative change); (3) adoption of a resolution establishing an electronic payment convenience fee (rescinding two prior resolutions with typographical errors); and (4) approval of COSO-related finance policies (checks and fuel-card policy).
Council also authorized staff to apply for outside funding: a 100% grant request of $138,000 from the New Mexico Water Trust Board for design funding for a 'Tank 8' replacement, and a resolution to apply to the New Mexico Finance Authority for a PPRF loan of $2.4 million to complete Fire Station 1 construction while preserving annual fire-protection-fund operations. Fire Chief reported the total Fire Station 1 project at a little over $8.2 million and explained the loan is intended to avoid diverting operational dollars.
Other approvals included two small out-of-pocket reimbursements (approved: $70.88 and $43.37) for staff vehicle-related purchases and adoption of a property-access and wildfire-mitigation agreement tied to the community’s new Firewise designation. Each resolution and application was approved on a recorded roll-call vote.
