A project presenter (speaker 1) reviewed cost-estimation methods used for the Albuquerque East Levee (based on the Army Corps' 2009 reevaluation), explaining the team adjusted Corps' line-item costs to present-day values rather than recreating Corps detail. The presenter said tow-drain replacement and full levee rehabilitation showed only modest cost differences once design, land/damage, contingencies and environmental contingencies were included. He flagged potential federal cost-share (roughly 65% federal / 35% local) and the possibility of phasing work over multiple fiscal years. Trustee(s)
Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque Board of Trustees reviewed an Army Corps levee cost update, kicked off a Rio Grande traffic-calming study, approved two land-development items (a site plan and a preliminary plat with a well-condition requirement), denied a post‑construction fence/gate height variance appeal, and adopted several administrative resolutions and ordinances; multiple public comments and trustee policy questions focused on community character, enforcement, and infrastructure impacts.
