	Like I barely owe.	00:00:00
	Yes, Peter.	00:00:04
	OK.	00:00:10
	Really. All right, this City of Scotland City Council meeting Tuesday, February 20th.	00:00:12
	2024 will call please air basket here. Councillor Travis Lopez.	00:00:18

	Councillor Partridge.	00:00:30
	Councillor Romero here, Councillor Salome here, we have a quorum.	00:00:33
	All right.	00:00:38
	Mr. Mayor.	00:01:00
	Parents who approve the consent agenda.	00:01:01
	Moved and seconded.	00:01:06
	Any discussion on any of that?	00:01:09
	All in favor.	00:01:13
	Opposed.	00:01:15
	OK, we have.	00:01:17
	On the public forum we talked about 100% Socorro, so, Senator Martinez and.	00:01:21
	That's Mr. Shalom. So the approval of the February minutes, the consideration, the minutes and the C, the voucher run, those are	00:01:27
	all part of the consent agenda.	00:01:32
	I had a comment on the on the voucher run.	00:01:38
	But I was thinking, yeah, I just, I just like to say that I didn't know what is a significant amount for engineering work going up	00:01:41
	at Evergreen.	00:01:45
	And I know that the administration had been working on that for quite some time. And so I was glad to see that that project is	00:01:50
	moving forward and that is really going to be a benefit to our community in that amount And so all the the, the development and	00:01:55
	all the.	00:02:01
	The infrastructure that's going on up there is.	00:02:08
	For acknowledging.	00:02:16
	OK, Sandra.	00:02:19
	For.	00:02:22
	Sure. No, I only have two minutes.	00:02:24
	I'm going to get started, Mayor Basker, Honorable counselors.	00:02:29
	Just one.	00:02:34
	My name is Sandra Martinez, a resident of Socorro.	00:02:36
	I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you on behalf of 100% Socorro County. If you haven't heard about it, Socorro	00:02:40
	100% Socorro was about transforming our community to a place where every child thrives.	00:02:47
	It's a statewide commitment established in 2019 with bipartisan sponsorship and funding from the state legislature.	00:02:53
	The idea was to try something new to ensure that 100% of New Mexico residents can access the 10 services required to survive and	00:03:01
	thrive. This work is carried out on a county level within a framework tailored to the unique needs of rural communities.	00:03:09
	The book David, Age 14, explains all of this in the less than 150 pages. It may be the most useful book you'll read as a city	00:03:18
	Councilor, because it explains how the system, especially in rural communities, fails our children. The question then, is despite	00:03:25
	our best efforts, are these our best efforts?	00:03:31
	So we asked our community and the answers are in the graphic survey from data collected.	00:03:38
	From our community showing the difficulty residents encounter in attempting to access vital services.	00:03:44
	As a group we were beginning to see the picture and as a community we began to work on solutions.	00:03:52
	Through collaborative efforts, we were able to complete the asset mapping that helped secure PED funding for the Socorro Community	00:03:59
	Schools.	00:04:03
	He's been given a copy of that as well.	00:04:07
	Since then, we have built collaborative relationships with individuals and organizations.	00:04:11
	From the 10 service sectors, which I'd love to name now.	00:04:16
	But I think in the interest of time, I will have to skip that and are currently in the final phases of vetting an online directory	00:04:22
	of services which will go live by April 1st.	00:04:26
	Currently, we're endeavoring to move forward with a 100% Family Center, a one stop service hub that will assist families in	00:04:33
	navigating obstacles and connecting to needed services. A brief overview of the 100% Family Center concept can be found in this	00:04:38
	small booklet.	00:04:44
	So thank you for giving me this time. I have some colleagues with me in case you have any questions about the project or what	00:04:51
	we're doing. We are interested in some assistance in identifying A suitable building to house the Family Center.	00:04:58
	And also, I'd like to invite you to our summit, which will occur on June 14th.	00:05:05
	And we'll send you a save the date.	00:05:12
	To each of you, but if anyone would like to read this book, I highly recommend it.	00:05:14
	We can. Pete can hand it to you if you just let him know you'd like a coffee.	00:05:20
	Thank you.	00:05:25
	I have a question. Yeah, on your on this thing. I'm seeing housing, but I don't see the Housing Authority listed anywhere.	00:05:28
	Then that was just because if remember, at the summit we had the little cards up there.	00:05:38
	So I'd like to come back at another date if that is possible, if you would like to discuss any of this further if you have more	00:05:52
	questions, but how can the city help?	00:05:56
	Well, I think the city could help us by. Well, first of all, if you look at the, if you look at the map, this is mainly city of	00:06:02
	the court. You know these are mainly most of the people are in the city. So what we're looking for is a.	00:06:08
	Home for the family.	00:06:16
	So a building that we can, we're going to have navigators who are full time employees.	00:06:18
	How big? How big a place?	00:06:25
	Maybe Sharon Sessions. Is that OK? If she? So we're working on an actual, full proposal that describes all the needs. And one of	00:06:29
	the things that we're hoping to get out of the summit actually is feedback from the community of what of what the community needs.	00:06:37
	Ideally something that can hold office space, potentially one-on-one counseling places where people can can use computers to get	00:06:46
	job applications. So it could be a pretty big space. We can start small too, but something to be able to start with would be	00:06:52
	great.	00:06:57
	You already got it funded for you talking about renting it, Are you talking about is there any operating and maintenance that the	00:07:03
	city would have to put in?	00:07:08
	We don't know what the answer to that it yet is. So the the proposal that we're working for is one of many proposals prepared by	00:07:13
	counties across New Mexico that will be given to the state legislatures potentially being used for for.	00:07:20
	Nonprofit basically getting donors to do these kinds of things. There is one that I believe might be getting funded and Onion	00:07:30
	County that will serve as a really good model for that. That is being funded by the state legislature. So we are putting together	00:07:38
	the concept, the, the huge dream that we have to get together. I have talked with Vice President Richard Cervantes at New Mexico	00:07:45
	Tech, who's talked to the president and New Mexico Tech is willing to help with like the fiscal responsibilities of that.	00:07:52
	There's a lot of details that we don't know yet, but.	00:08:00
	Or two away or.	00:08:03
	Probably, yeah. I mean, you know, we're going to be inheriting some, some buildings.	00:08:05
	Keep us in mind that is all you know about it. I mean, I think that's something that you know.	00:08:11
	Building that new junior high was number there's there's going to be some buildings available. I think that this would be a very	00:08:18
	and if you have to have a when you do put the grant in you if you have to have a say you have a space.	00:08:24
	I mean, we want to get the specifics, we want to get involved with it absolutely and we are working on that. So we're trying to	00:08:30
	get as much, many of the details as possible.	00:08:35
	No, no, I just just a question if if they were to come and present to the budget committee and ask for some funding in that way	00:08:41
	from the council and the administration can do that way, we start our meeting soon.	00:08:47
	We invite organizations to come and and and ask for funding that would support things that would help the community.	00:08:56
	Some fantastic. There is another question we had. I'm sorry, it's we have the money now until the end of the fiscal year for a	00:09:03
	community building and your old project, but we do not have a wall.	00:09:10
	So that might be something you may if you have a world around this mural we have money to buy designated a couple of walls that	00:09:17
	never got done.	00:09:22
	You know, we were talking about that.	00:09:28
	Mrs. Wells, One time with a diamond.	00:09:32
	Can't think of the name of.	00:09:36
	But yeah, if you have money for minerals, we can. We can.	00:09:38
	We could even go tomorrow if we had somebody.	00:09:43
	And do you have the what, what topic would you put on the wall? It would be working with the artist, but it would be around the	00:09:47
	100% Sakura Initiative. So I think it would be great to say 100% Socorro, but anything that represents.	00:09:54
	Community, Our community.	00:10:02
	We don't. Well, we actually have talked to somebody, but.	00:10:05
	Don't have a space away.	00:10:10
	Working real close with the the murals.	00:10:14
	Also, we're also not just murals, but we're also talking about all these Transformers and things that are around town.	00:10:18
	And even fire fire Hyd.	00:10:25
	That's what Chelsea was. So there. That project is already going, we just haven't gotten the weather to get it started.	00:10:28
	OK, the one right there.	00:10:35
	So let's we'll get that if we can get your information.	00:10:40
	To Chelsea together with them. I mean, it doesn't have to be a huge, big mural if you can do other things than just.	00:10:45
	You know that would be.	00:10:51
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:10:55
	Mr. Parker, did you have a question?	00:10:58
	Sounds like a great initiative though.	00:11:01
	Thank you for coming.	00:11:03
	Anyone else that would like to answer?	00:11:10
	Thank you.	00:11:15
	Thank you, Mr. Mayor and members of the City Council. What I'm saying may actually in some ways be pertinent to the previous	00:11:19
	presentation in their discussion of available property in Socorro.	00:11:23
	Could you Could you just wish yourself? Of course. My name is Will Carter and I live here in Scoro. I work remotely, but I'm lucky	00:11:29
	to have family and a good community here and want to build my life here.	00:11:35
	I wanted to raise the Council an issue that I'm sure you are all familiar with and that I'm sure has come before the Council	00:11:42
	before around vacant and abandoned buildings in Socorro, particularly in our main commercial areas and.	00:11:49
	This is not a new problem or one that we haven't seen experiments around the country and around the state before. And in fact,	00:11:57
	there's actually a 2019 study by the state of how we can actually do more to address the issue of vacant buildings. And so I	00:12:04
	wanted to raise to this council that in reading this study and a number of others, including case studies from other cities,	00:12:10
	including similar cities within the state of New Mexico.	00:12:17
	There are a number of things that I think that we could do. This report itself lays out nine recommendations for smaller	00:12:24
	communities in New Mexico for how they can deal with this issue, including cost offsets, because I know that is a legitimate issue	00:12:28
	for the city.	00:12:32
	But I would love to to either share this report and other reports that I have been reading on this topic and also would love to	00:12:38
	discuss with the Mayor, members of the Council who are interested in this topic, how we can do more as a City, including	00:12:45
	establishing vacant and abandoned building ordinances and some minimum standards to hold property owners accountable and also to	00:12:52
	give the city the opportunity to accelerate reinvestment in some of these areas and redevelopment of some of these areas.	00:13:00
	Great. If you'll share the reference with us to begin with and perhaps later on this month because I'm going to be out for a	00:13:08
	couple of weeks.	00:13:12
	We'd like to talk to you about that and I would invite my code enforcement people.	00:13:18
	We have we have a problem with abandoned and vacant building. Matter of fact, I had a call from the guy who owns the.	00:13:24
	Smiths Now, I didn't return his call yet, but as Duke Rodriguez, he's the chairman of.	00:13:30
	Biggest group of marijuana company in the city, in the state and.	00:13:36
	Our problem is due process.	00:13:42
	And that's something that.	00:13:45
	If they attend to that in those articles, those nine things you're talking about, we certainly we certainly need to move on with	00:13:48
	with what we need to do with the vacant buildings. Absolutely. They they cover in this the state and national level requirements	00:13:54
	and also some of the legal mechanisms that other cities use to address the problem. So can you read us your contact information,	00:14:00
	Perhaps we can put together a meeting.	00:14:05
	Absolutely. So appreciate you coming. That's really important for us.	00:14:12
	Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. About a month ago or a month and a half ago, Albuquerque, actually.	00:14:16
	Broached this topic too on how to streamline their.	00:14:23
	The ordinance is to be able to not have to wait six months to get something done. You know, like you say due process, but we have	00:14:26
	that in our ordinances, so we have to follow that. But just just to let you know, Sands Motel took us almost three years and	00:14:31
	$180,000.	00:14:36
	So and we now we own the property that that's a problem so that that's our biggest problem is is the due process.	00:14:42
	Demolition. Now we have about 5 burned buildings in town.	00:14:53
	And we're now working step by step on each one of those to try to get those and a lot of them.	00:14:56
	Non resident owners, they live in California or somewhere else, so that's the other problem.	00:15:02
	I know, Chris, you have any comments on that? I mean how?	00:15:08
	Make sure that we invite you to that meeting.	00:15:11
	Christian.	00:15:19
	Code enforcement officer. It would be nice to like find a way to streamline that because it is a bunch of waiting and.	00:15:21
	Putting plans together.	00:15:30
	Like the Park Street took about a year and we were pretty close and someone came in and cleaned it up for us, but well, maybe you	00:15:32
	can get Mr. Clark, do you have a copy of that or is there a copy of that?	00:15:37
	That reference, will you share that with us and Chris maybe make me a copy?	00:15:44
	Whenever for tomorrow, but thank you. Thanks for bringing.	00:15:50
	Anyone else that's not on the agenda?	00:15:55
	I'd like to make.	00:15:59

	Being so patient.	00:22:31
	What we had in the.	00:22:33
	Let's go again, Mr. Mayor. I I almost want to rethink my my nomination to be the Municipal League representative for the city, to	00:22:39
	know where I could be with that.	00:22:43
	I will say though that attending something municipalities already did represent the city well. He was well liked and everybody	00:22:48
	knows Gordy up there and I'm sure everybody with the municipal is going to going to miss you as well too. And I just want to say	00:22:53
	it's been an honor working with you and.	00:22:57
	Serving with you over the years as well too, so thank you, Gordy.	00:23:01
	Again, I'd like to echo that, thank you so much, Gordy. And and I mean your family is a testament to how good of a person you are.	00:23:09

	it. So you guys done right.	00:23:22

	Mr. Partridge and mistakes whenever my first time running and he was so gracious, even through the process he he he was	00:23:31
	encouraging.	00:23:36
	And just a really good person. He wanted, he wants well, you know he wants well even change.	00:23:42
	Was the outcome. Maybe wasn't what he wanted, but he never had a sour attitude towards that. He never was.	00:23:48
	He was nothing but kind to me, his family's kind.	00:23:53
	That's kind of the people around. He was kind. It was soon as it happened, he was all about getting the transition peacefully and	00:23:56
	getting the getting this council put together and being a part of it, not being destructive about it in any way, shape or form.	00:24:02
	It's phenomenal. So thank you for helping too, Mr. Mr. Hicks.	00:24:08
	Mr. Tsunami.	00:24:15

	OK, I had two other ones.	00:25:25
	We'll skip those again.	00:25:28
	No, they won't be coming, but they'll be getting.	00:25:30
	And then Mr. Miller said he was not going to show up for the agenda item. But we've been doing some research and there are gun	00:25:33
	ranges everywhere, including on state lands, and there's never been any comment about that. I don't know about the noise	00:25:39
	pollution, but we'll give another chance to come and another time.	00:25:45
	So that's something that.	00:25:52
	We can talk about what we're doing. We have been doing some investigation about any kind of problems that other gun Rangers might.	00:25:53
	So including we've talked to New Mexico Tech to be able to maybe utilize their gun range and so we're we're kind of working on his	00:26:02
	problem.	00:26:06
	And new.	00:26:12
	We had a No, it's not signed by the governor.	00:26:14
	But we had a fairly good legislative session. The city got about two and a half million.	00:26:17
	On our on.	00:26:25
	Needs The biggest one was Finley.	00:26:27
	We also got the sound system at the rodeo. We also got money to landscape and move the monument.	00:26:31
	From El Camino Real, we also received.	00:26:39
	Funds to do.	00:26:43
	A spec building.	00:26:44
	We got about 700,000.	00:26:46
	To do a spec building at the Eagle pitcher cleanup, which will try to invite.	00:26:48
	You know, just like this is a small scale Las lunas.	00:26:54
	Like Los Lunas has the warehouses up there, you know with the different Amazons coming and Facebook and Walmart is there. So we	00:26:58
	have money to start a building that we can then invite some company to come in especially since the.	00:27:06
	The interchange at Escondido is going to be redone and it'll it'll be able to be more inviting to semis and things like that. So	00:27:14
	that's why we also receive, Did I miss any other?	00:27:21
	To the museum, The planning of the museum the museum grant we brought a Gwen Valentino has been doing a great job and putting	00:27:29
	together some grants, so we replied to the State Historical Preservation Office for a $250,000 grant to do an interpretive part	00:27:35
	of.	00:27:41
	El Camino Real Heritage Center to design it and then we can apply it also for bricks and mortar after we get the design done.	00:27:49
	We've gotten authorization from the.	00:27:57
	State Highway Department to turn into.	00:28:02
	The Convention Center and the R.	00:28:06
	Park we have to put a cattle guard there and we've done that, so now we can actually get people coming off of Hwy. 60.	00:28:08
	We're looking at a name, a named celebrity. I don't know. I shouldn't say anything until we get them, but my name is Neil McCoy.	00:28:16
	We're trying to get him to headline our July 3rd.	00:28:27
	But that's going to be something that people have asked about these modular buildings we got from the from the school system. We	00:28:31
	had a caretaker at one time, Michael Director that lived there. He is gone. That was his trailer, although we hate to have it	00:28:36
	moved.	00:28:42
	So we've got one of the modulators is going to be set.	00:28:47
	As a housing, and I'm hoping housing.	00:28:51
	Region 7 will help us with that if we if if the person qualifies to.	00:28:55
	For rent, we're going to get that and then also there's going to be another modular, that'll be showers.	00:29:02
	Bathroom, kitchen and a meeting facility for the RV park and the other modulars being moved over there to Zimmerly and we're going	00:29:07
	to show that to the Friends of the Library so we can try to make that.	00:29:13
	Presumably into a into a.	00:29:19
	Judicial complex.	00:29:23
	And so we're working with the schools.	00:29:24
	Our natural gas trucks are.	00:29:27
	They'll be here hopefully next week.	00:29:30
	Finally, and we've gotten 3 dump trucks.	00:29:32
	We did not get the gas farm that we were natural gas farm that we're going to build money for that, but we're looking for that we.	00:29:35
	Still the the Senior Center is still working with the Gita. I don't know if the county, I don't know if the county Commission.	00:29:44
	But the County Commission give us a building.	00:29:55
	But they want to see a budget.	00:30:00
	But so we're going to be asking the county Commission to give us the Vegeta building so we can.	00:30:03
	Make sure that all the seniors up there and that's a huge number that that it's going to get served for and and Linda Maurice is	00:30:10
	doing a great job with the with the Senior Center.	00:30:15
	As you know.	00:30:20
	We got 875, almost 900,000 for the for the gym and thanks to Representative Latimer and Senator.	00:30:22
	So we got money for that.	00:30:31
	But as is now, we have a million.	00:30:35
	And I think Council Dina's had meetings already is that we're planning on what we're planning to do with that area with a million	00:30:37
	that we have now.	00:30:40
	We've got a new.	00:30:45
	Activities Director, Mr. Padilla.	00:30:47
	Who is looking into upgrading our?	00:30:49
	Working physically.	00:30:53
	But.	00:30:55
	But, but see, Ruby didn't stand up. I didn't.	00:30:58
	But but he's working on trying to upgrade the equipment so that it's more attractive down there and and that's something that he's	00:31:05
	worked on a corn hole tournament and I hate that would but he's working on that. You got how many teams.	00:31:13
	So that's that's that's going.	00:31:24
	Pretty strong so and I know Steve has done a great job out there at the soccer field in the rodeo and I think coach accomplished	00:31:26
	bringing a flag football or you bringing some teams like you did last year.	00:31:32
	This number we've got, yeah, we've got a really big I think we had almost 1000 kids.	00:31:39
	We, in fact, you know this, I mean, for all you football fans we just had.	00:31:44
	Our first kid that was offered by, I mean not we, but in Mexico had their first kid who was offered by Alabama first time. Like	00:31:49
	we've got a top, like two or three.	00:31:53
	Offer from Makita, one of the kids that was at the camp this last year.	00:31:58
	But anyway, yeah, we had all the best talent in the state here.	00:32:02
	So that's going to be, I think that will be a big project, but the roadie arenas doing doing well, the Convention Center Des and	00:32:06
	Shannon are doing great out there.	00:32:11
	So all that all that stuff is going on. I want to try to get you at May not once a month goes to all the different directors.	00:32:16
	Department directors and I'll send you her report for each of the departments and I think that'll help you with the stuff that's	00:32:24
	that's going on.	00:32:29
	I think that's Mr.	00:32:35
	We also receive funding for matching a federal grant for.	00:32:38
	So, so those lights that are that we almost have 700,000.	00:32:45
	For lighting at studio park so we need to work with Southwest side Southwest.	00:32:50
	On your project about reconfiguring.	00:32:55
	The fields and everything. So we don't put the lights in the wrong place, but we've got, we've got matching. We have 380,000 from	00:32:57
	the feds and we've got.	00:33:02
	A mistake. So, so you know that ended up giving about 2.5 million, which is probably the most that we've.	00:33:09
	You know the old story about if you don't ask, you don't get. And believe me they were. If you looked, you look through the list	00:33:16
	of if you just go to the, I'm not sure which bill it was. But if you look and you can see every town and what they got starting	00:33:21
	from Albuquerque down to.	00:33:25
	Las Cruces and IS they gave out a billion dollars worth of projects.	00:33:31
	Billion. Dollars.	00:33:37
	We have, we received money for, you already know we received about a million to cover the, the, the.	00:33:40
	Arena and for heating so we can have will have in the winter, we'll have a heated arena, indoor, basically indoor arena. We did	00:33:46
	get money for CDBG project on Cuba Rd.	00:33:52
	However, the estimates, the amount that it's going to cost to do it, it came up really, really high. So Donald has put in to do a	00:33:59
	contingency. I think they have a where you can get money, extra money to do a project. We got about 800,000, we need a million	00:34:04
	too.	00:34:10
	Hello, yes Sir, due to inflation a lot of the.	00:34:16
	Amount of the cost overruns of the CDBG projects. A lot of communities didn't apply because they knew that.	00:34:20
	The match was going to be in a half $1,000,000.	00:34:25
	So that left extra CDBG funding and that application should come out on the 29th.	00:34:28
	And just to tell you about revenue, I mean it.	00:34:35
	States getting money.	00:34:38
	And I'm not sure where this came from.	00:34:40
	But our grocery seats for the very first time.	00:34:43
	Were 720,000.	00:34:47
	We've never had. She's over 500.	00:34:50
	And then we then we also get small cities.	00:34:54
	And it was supposed to be, I think the Budget Committee had it for 230 and we got something like 530.	00:34:58
	So financially we're in good shape and that's why I offered you guys some money or Councillor Salomi offered you some money, but	00:35:06
	well, don't get the budget committees. But we are, but we are, you know, and again, I, I, I kind of alluded to the fact about	00:35:13
	Zimmerly and Seracino.	00:35:19
	And we haven't signed the agreement with my agreement with a, with a, with a Superintendent and the chairman of.	00:35:26
	School board was that the city would inherit.	00:35:34
	And so that we would then start thinking about programs in Saracen or whether they were vocational or 100% Socorro or other	00:35:38
	programs.	00:35:44
	Permanent, permanent place where the, you know we were talking about the.	00:35:51
	Esports, maybe to have an arena like that at Saraceno, so there are things that we can do, We just have to be financially prudent	00:35:58
	as to how we spend it.	00:36:03
	So all that has been going on. And in the meantime, you know, we have a Police Department, we've got a fire department, we've got	00:36:08
	an ambulance that just broke down after, I don't know, 300,000 miles or something like that. We've got animal control, dispatch. I	00:36:14
	mean, there's we have what, 20, there's something like 20 departments.	00:36:21
	And so all that.	00:36:27
	Is the constant wheels going around? You know, they always tell people, when I used to watch the Ed Sullivan Show, this guy would	00:36:29
	come up with these plates that he would want 10 plates. And he was always by the time you got to that plate, the last plate would	00:36:34
	be going, had to run back there.	00:36:40
	It's just not places, department heads.	00:36:49
	So that's what we we try to keep putting energy into each.	00:36:52
	Because, I mean, these guys just get worn out. I mean, that's.	00:36:56
	GRT e-mail Do you think little?	00:37:00
	I I hope. I hope so. But I don't. I'm not counting on it to go. I mean to to we've never, ever, ever, ever had $700,000 in	00:37:04
	groceries. And I don't know if it's a highway project.	00:37:09
	Do you think that's always in the back of my head is they made a mistake, They made a mistake in Santa Rosa about seven years ago	00:37:15
	to the platoon of about a million two and they wanted their money back.	00:37:20
	And of course politics that got out of it. But but that's the only thing, you know, we used to when we used to get a check like	00:37:26
	that, we'd put it under our our blotter for about 3.	00:37:31
	We wouldn't put it in the bank. I got a check from Enron once.	00:37:37
	For $170,000 and Pat and I we just, we hit it underneath the bottom for three months thinking it was a mistake, but it wasn't a	00:37:41
	mistake that Enron had to settle with because we buy national gas from at one time. But it's.	00:37:48
	It's a little scary, really.	00:37:56
	Because you don't know if it was a mistake or what, because there's no big project to tech.	00:37:58
	You know you've got a big project coming up. The school's coming up.	00:38:04
	The roads, the roads got that was a pretty good project, but I have no idea where that came from.	00:38:08
	I don't know. I mean, you never can find out really, 'cause if you pay $1.00, they'll tell you that person pay, they won't give	00:38:19
	you.	00:38:23
	Well, which is proprietary, I mean.	00:38:27
	But anyway, but just so that's kind of a little update on the.	00:38:29
	Any largest tax up also that?	00:38:33
	It's pretty steady and larger tax is pretty.	00:38:37
	Even that month.	00:38:41
	You know, larger tax usually.	00:38:43
	Is 30,000.	00:38:46
	35,000.	00:38:49
	We get about 400,000.	00:38:51
	And that that's not fluctuated much, it's and 1st responders are solid.	00:38:54
	They're solid for the next 2-3 years.	00:39:00
	They actually added a couple of and they're going into virtual which is being put into.	00:39:02
	Thing up there, So that's.	00:39:08
	But I don't know.	00:39:11
	It is.	00:39:13
	Did you find anything about?	00:39:16
	Tech graduation.	00:39:18
	It's May.	00:39:23
	And that's already been reserved for the rodeo linen or it is going to be at the rodeo. So there's, you know, again, I think high	00:39:24
	school wanted palm at the Convention Center. We're going to work with them. I think high school graduation, was it at that rodeo	00:39:28
	or no?	00:39:33
	I think it was, yeah. So, so those, I mean those.	00:39:38
	Those facilities are getting used.	00:39:42
	We're not getting a lot of money from the people who use them.	00:39:45
	Marianne project going good.	00:39:49
	We have the groundbreaking on Tuesday, February 27th at 11:00, so we'd like to invite the public.	00:39:52
	To the groundbreaking. Oh, you're there. You're the Mayor Hotel.	00:39:59
	But the but the same people that are demoing that did the dirt work at the junior high it's in Guzman construction is the same	00:40:04
	people that did.	00:40:08
	That One South just make a point. I'm sure everybody's aware of the fact that that rodeo arena went where it went.	00:40:12
	Allowed the growth of Socorro to move out that way, to allow Marianne to put her her facility, to allow for a lot of things that	00:40:21
	are the benefits that are they keep coming from the city building that rodeo arena.	00:40:29
	And Hwy. 60, Project WE.	00:40:37
	We're still waiting for the engineer to do the final scop.	00:40:39
	Because that's going to be, I keep dreading the.	00:40:43
	That. That junior high.	00:40:47
	Because I'm hoping that the Highway 60 will be adequate along with Michigan.	00:40:50
	To have the in and out.	00:40:55
	200 people, they're going to be dropping people.	00:40:56
	That's and then high school kids too, on top of.	00:41:00
	That's that's my biggest concern of that area being congested.	00:41:03
	So.	00:41:10
	Street Projects The Fowler St. project is on the way.	00:41:13
	The walkway.	00:41:17
	That's going to get started in March, Lloyd.	00:41:18
	And which And Manzanera.	00:41:21
	Is going to get started. So we have about four projects in Cuba. Rd. will get started. Depending on that we can put the money	00:41:25
	together.	00:41:28
	So that's that's where we're at on that. And Mr. Mayor Center St. in Mccutchen will also be in March. McCutcheon. Yeah, so.	00:41:32
	We're doing those.	00:41:39
	Any old, old business that anybody wants to bring up?	00:41:42
	I want to tell you that I do have the number.	00:41:46
	For the substation.	00:41:50
	And we're giving it to our financial people.	00:41:52
	To do the pro forma as to what the cost will be per kilowatt?	00:41:57
	Not letting the cat out of the bag. If I give you a number, it's 12 million.	00:42:03
	That includes that includes a subst.	00:42:09
	It includes the distribution.	00:42:12
	And then includes about 5 things I can't remember.	00:42:15
	Capacity is one thing, Capacity.	00:42:19
	Yeah. So, and that that means new distribution lines to all the different businesses.	00:42:22
	One of the five things is a backup transformer as well. In case anything happens with one or for maintenance it has to go offline,	00:42:27
	we'll have a backup.	00:42:31
	So just just to inform you on.	00:42:35
	And then what we'll do is to take.	00:42:39
	Number.	00:42:42
	But as to what the revenue would?	00:42:45
	But the good news?	00:42:48
	There's grants out there that we have people.	00:42:50
	Actually, I.	00:42:54
	The gentleman that that Mary Ann's working with.	00:42:57
	He also.	00:43:02
	Grants for solar.	00:43:03
	And substations.	00:43:05
	And so he he figures he could probably get half of that in grants.	00:43:06
	And from the money that people are putting into electric?	00:43:11
	Right now. So so we have to work that number down and I know everybody's waiting for that one number which how much is it per	00:43:15
	kilowatt, but that's, that's the number.	00:43:20
	That we're looking at and I want to I will send you an article that I was in Durango the other day. The La Plata Electric has also	00:43:25
	been fighting with tri-state and for three.	00:43:30
	And so they have some.	00:43:36
	Don't get take it from me, it's in the newspaper from Durango. About what?	00:43:39
	Kind of trouble they've been having with tri-state. They're trying to leave trash state also.	00:43:44
	And that's La Plata is a big, big and.	00:43:48
	Again, like kit cars.	00:43:52
	The Plata? That's that Durango.	00:43:55
	They're 100% solar during the day.	00:43:57
	They don't. They. They everybody that's 100%.	00:44:01
	So that that's where everything's going and that's put a lot of pressure on the electric utilities because they actually.	00:44:05
	Pushing solar.	00:44:13
	The amount of capacity that these people were putting back into the grid was too much for the grid.	00:44:15
	So they stop. They.	00:44:20
	And that's in the article. But they stopped.	00:44:23
	Pushing So.	00:44:28
	So anyway, so that's that's the situation there.	00:44:30
	Executive session.	00:44:36
	I gave everything about the executive decision and.	00:44:37
	There's intercession.	00:44:40
	OK, So what do we got? Personnel matters.	00:44:44
	You put that first before the marriage report.	00:44:49
	OK. Well, we'll just do it then.	00:44:54
	I believe there's more.	00:44:56
	Well, that was an executive session. OK, job, job description. That's a job description, Donald, what is that?	00:44:59
	Ruby is adjusting one of her.	00:45:08
	But you adjusted her job description or that job gathered salary range in the job description.	00:45:19
	Well, then it went from 40 to 50. Yes, Sir, yes.	00:45:28
	Moved and seconded.	00:45:33
	All in favor.	00:45:35
	OK, so there she is there on the Clara Reyes on the personnel changes.	00:45:37
	And that's an administrative delinquency and collection clerk, a 43.	00:45:42
	At 7:27.	00:45:47
	That's all I got.	00:45:50
	I'll make a motion to approve the personnel changes.	00:45:52
	Seconded discussion.	00:45:57
	All in favor.	00:45:59
	Business Registration, Eminem, Latin Plaster Manual, Gutierrez, Los Lunas.	00:46:01

	Any discussion on any of that?	00:01:09
	All in favor.	00:01:13
	Opposed.	00:01:15
	OK, we have.	00:01:17
	On the public forum we talked about 100% Socorro, so, Senator Martinez and.	00:01:21
	That's Mr. Shalom. So the approval of the February minutes, the consideration, the minutes and the C, the voucher run, those are	00:01:27
	all part of the consent agenda.	00:01:32
	I had a comment on the on the voucher run.	00:01:38
	But I was thinking, yeah, I just, I just like to say that I didn't know what is a significant amount for engineering work going up	00:01:41
	at Evergreen.	00:01:45
	And I know that the administration had been working on that for quite some time. And so I was glad to see that that project is	00:01:50
	moving forward and that is really going to be a benefit to our community in that amount And so all the the, the development and	00:01:55
	all the.	00:02:01
	The infrastructure that's going on up there is.	00:02:08
	For acknowledging.	00:02:16
	OK, Sandra.	00:02:19
	For.	00:02:22
	Sure. No, I only have two minutes.	00:02:24
	I'm going to get started, Mayor Basker, Honorable counselors.	00:02:29
	Just one.	00:02:34
	My name is Sandra Martinez, a resident of Socorro.	00:02:36
	I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you on behalf of 100% Socorro County. If you haven't heard about it, Socorro	00:02:40
	100% Socorro was about transforming our community to a place where every child thrives.	00:02:47
	It's a statewide commitment established in 2019 with bipartisan sponsorship and funding from the state legislature.	00:02:53
	The idea was to try something new to ensure that 100% of New Mexico residents can access the 10 services required to survive and	00:03:01
	thrive. This work is carried out on a county level within a framework tailored to the unique needs of rural communities.	00:03:09
	The book David, Age 14, explains all of this in the less than 150 pages. It may be the most useful book you'll read as a city	00:03:18
	Councilor, because it explains how the system, especially in rural communities, fails our children. The question then, is despite	00:03:25
	our best efforts, are these our best efforts?	00:03:31
	So we asked our community and the answers are in the graphic survey from data collected.	00:03:38
	From our community showing the difficulty residents encounter in attempting to access vital services.	00:03:44
	As a group we were beginning to see the picture and as a community we began to work on solutions.	00:03:52
	Through collaborative efforts, we were able to complete the asset mapping that helped secure PED funding for the Socorro Community	00:03:59
	Schools.	00:04:03
	He's been given a copy of that as well.	00:04:07
	Since then, we have built collaborative relationships with individuals and organizations.	00:04:11
	From the 10 service sectors, which I'd love to name now.	00:04:16
	But I think in the interest of time, I will have to skip that and are currently in the final phases of vetting an online directory	00:04:22
	of services which will go live by April 1st.	00:04:26
	Currently, we're endeavoring to move forward with a 100% Family Center, a one stop service hub that will assist families in	00:04:33
	navigating obstacles and connecting to needed services. A brief overview of the 100% Family Center concept can be found in this	00:04:38
	small booklet.	00:04:44
	So thank you for giving me this time. I have some colleagues with me in case you have any questions about the project or what	00:04:51
	we're doing. We are interested in some assistance in identifying A suitable building to house the Family Center.	00:04:58
	And also, I'd like to invite you to our summit, which will occur on June 14th.	00:05:05
	And we'll send you a save the date.	00:05:12
	To each of you, but if anyone would like to read this book, I highly recommend it.	00:05:14
	We can. Pete can hand it to you if you just let him know you'd like a coffee.	00:05:20
	Thank you.	00:05:25
	I have a question. Yeah, on your on this thing. I'm seeing housing, but I don't see the Housing Authority listed anywhere.	00:05:28
	Then that was just because if remember, at the summit we had the little cards up there.	00:05:38
	So I'd like to come back at another date if that is possible, if you would like to discuss any of this further if you have more	00:05:52
	questions, but how can the city help?	00:05:56
	Well, I think the city could help us by. Well, first of all, if you look at the, if you look at the map, this is mainly city of	00:06:02
	the court. You know these are mainly most of the people are in the city. So what we're looking for is a.	00:06:08
	Home for the family.	00:06:16
	So a building that we can, we're going to have navigators who are full time employees.	00:06:18
	How big? How big a place?	00:06:25
	Maybe Sharon Sessions. Is that OK? If she? So we're working on an actual, full proposal that describes all the needs. And one of	00:06:29
	the things that we're hoping to get out of the summit actually is feedback from the community of what of what the community needs.	00:06:37
	Ideally something that can hold office space, potentially one-on-one counseling places where people can can use computers to get	00:06:46
	job applications. So it could be a pretty big space. We can start small too, but something to be able to start with would be	00:06:52
	great.	00:06:57
	You already got it funded for you talking about renting it, Are you talking about is there any operating and maintenance that the	00:07:03
	city would have to put in?	00:07:08
	We don't know what the answer to that it yet is. So the the proposal that we're working for is one of many proposals prepared by	00:07:13
	counties across New Mexico that will be given to the state legislatures potentially being used for for.	00:07:20
	Nonprofit basically getting donors to do these kinds of things. There is one that I believe might be getting funded and Onion	00:07:30
	County that will serve as a really good model for that. That is being funded by the state legislature. So we are putting together	00:07:38
	the concept, the, the huge dream that we have to get together. I have talked with Vice President Richard Cervantes at New Mexico	00:07:45
	Tech, who's talked to the president and New Mexico Tech is willing to help with like the fiscal responsibilities of that.	00:07:52
	There's a lot of details that we don't know yet, but.	00:08:00
	Or two away or.	00:08:03
	Probably, yeah. I mean, you know, we're going to be inheriting some, some buildings.	00:08:05
	Keep us in mind that is all you know about it. I mean, I think that's something that you know.	00:08:11
	Building that new junior high was number there's there's going to be some buildings available. I think that this would be a very	00:08:18
	and if you have to have a when you do put the grant in you if you have to have a say you have a space.	00:08:24
	I mean, we want to get the specifics, we want to get involved with it absolutely and we are working on that. So we're trying to	00:08:30
	get as much, many of the details as possible.	00:08:35
	No, no, I just just a question if if they were to come and present to the budget committee and ask for some funding in that way	00:08:41
	from the council and the administration can do that way, we start our meeting soon.	00:08:47
	We invite organizations to come and and and ask for funding that would support things that would help the community.	00:08:56
	Some fantastic. There is another question we had. I'm sorry, it's we have the money now until the end of the fiscal year for a	00:09:03
	community building and your old project, but we do not have a wall.	00:09:10
	So that might be something you may if you have a world around this mural we have money to buy designated a couple of walls that	00:09:17
	never got done.	00:09:22
	You know, we were talking about that.	00:09:28
	Mrs. Wells, One time with a diamond.	00:09:32
	Can't think of the name of.	00:09:36
	But yeah, if you have money for minerals, we can. We can.	00:09:38
	We could even go tomorrow if we had somebody.	00:09:43
	And do you have the what, what topic would you put on the wall? It would be working with the artist, but it would be around the	00:09:47
	100% Sakura Initiative. So I think it would be great to say 100% Socorro, but anything that represents.	00:09:54
	Community, Our community.	00:10:02
	We don't. Well, we actually have talked to somebody, but.	00:10:05
	Don't have a space away.	00:10:10
	Working real close with the the murals.	00:10:14
	Also, we're also not just murals, but we're also talking about all these Transformers and things that are around town.	00:10:18
	And even fire fire Hyd.	00:10:25
	That's what Chelsea was. So there. That project is already going, we just haven't gotten the weather to get it started.	00:10:28
	OK, the one right there.	00:10:35
	So let's we'll get that if we can get your information.	00:10:40
	To Chelsea together with them. I mean, it doesn't have to be a huge, big mural if you can do other things than just.	00:10:45
	You know that would be.	00:10:51
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:10:55
	Mr. Parker, did you have a question?	00:10:58
	Sounds like a great initiative though.	00:11:01
	Thank you for coming.	00:11:03
	Anyone else that would like to answer?	00:11:10
	Thank you.	00:11:15
	Thank you, Mr. Mayor and members of the City Council. What I'm saying may actually in some ways be pertinent to the previous	00:11:19
	presentation in their discussion of available property in Socorro.	00:11:23
	Could you Could you just wish yourself? Of course. My name is Will Carter and I live here in Scoro. I work remotely, but I'm lucky	00:11:29
	to have family and a good community here and want to build my life here.	00:11:35
	I wanted to raise the Council an issue that I'm sure you are all familiar with and that I'm sure has come before the Council	00:11:42
	before around vacant and abandoned buildings in Socorro, particularly in our main commercial areas and.	00:11:49
	This is not a new problem or one that we haven't seen experiments around the country and around the state before. And in fact,	00:11:57
	there's actually a 2019 study by the state of how we can actually do more to address the issue of vacant buildings. And so I	00:12:04
	wanted to raise to this council that in reading this study and a number of others, including case studies from other cities,	00:12:10
	including similar cities within the state of New Mexico.	00:12:17
	There are a number of things that I think that we could do. This report itself lays out nine recommendations for smaller	00:12:24
	communities in New Mexico for how they can deal with this issue, including cost offsets, because I know that is a legitimate issue	00:12:28
	for the city.	00:12:32
	But I would love to to either share this report and other reports that I have been reading on this topic and also would love to	00:12:38
	discuss with the Mayor, members of the Council who are interested in this topic, how we can do more as a City, including	00:12:45
	establishing vacant and abandoned building ordinances and some minimum standards to hold property owners accountable and also to	00:12:52
	give the city the opportunity to accelerate reinvestment in some of these areas and redevelopment of some of these areas.	00:13:00
	Great. If you'll share the reference with us to begin with and perhaps later on this month because I'm going to be out for a	00:13:08
	couple of weeks.	00:13:12
	We'd like to talk to you about that and I would invite my code enforcement people.	00:13:18
	We have we have a problem with abandoned and vacant building. Matter of fact, I had a call from the guy who owns the.	00:13:24
	Smiths Now, I didn't return his call yet, but as Duke Rodriguez, he's the chairman of.	00:13:30
	Biggest group of marijuana company in the city, in the state and.	00:13:36
	Our problem is due process.	00:13:42
	And that's something that.	00:13:45
	If they attend to that in those articles, those nine things you're talking about, we certainly we certainly need to move on with	00:13:48
	with what we need to do with the vacant buildings. Absolutely. They they cover in this the state and national level requirements	00:13:54
	and also some of the legal mechanisms that other cities use to address the problem. So can you read us your contact information,	00:14:00
	Perhaps we can put together a meeting.	00:14:05
	Absolutely. So appreciate you coming. That's really important for us.	00:14:12
	Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. About a month ago or a month and a half ago, Albuquerque, actually.	00:14:16
	Broached this topic too on how to streamline their.	00:14:23
	The ordinance is to be able to not have to wait six months to get something done. You know, like you say due process, but we have	00:14:26
	that in our ordinances, so we have to follow that. But just just to let you know, Sands Motel took us almost three years and	00:14:31
	$180,000.	00:14:36
	So and we now we own the property that that's a problem so that that's our biggest problem is is the due process.	00:14:42
	Demolition. Now we have about 5 burned buildings in town.	00:14:53
	And we're now working step by step on each one of those to try to get those and a lot of them.	00:14:56
	Non resident owners, they live in California or somewhere else, so that's the other problem.	00:15:02
	I know, Chris, you have any comments on that? I mean how?	00:15:08
	Make sure that we invite you to that meeting.	00:15:11
	Christian.	00:15:19
	Code enforcement officer. It would be nice to like find a way to streamline that because it is a bunch of waiting and.	00:15:21
	Putting plans together.	00:15:30
	Like the Park Street took about a year and we were pretty close and someone came in and cleaned it up for us, but well, maybe you	00:15:32
	can get Mr. Clark, do you have a copy of that or is there a copy of that?	00:15:37
	That reference, will you share that with us and Chris maybe make me a copy?	00:15:44
	Whenever for tomorrow, but thank you. Thanks for bringing.	00:15:50
	Anyone else that's not on the agenda?	00:15:55
	I'd like to make.	00:15:59
	If not, I have a.	00:16:03

	Thank you.	00:22:12

	I just want to Gordie. I just want to thank you for being such a good friend.	00:22:16
	A good citizen.	00:22:21
	Good, honored veteran and I want to thank.	00:22:24
	Gordy's family back there for?	00:22:27
	Sharing them with.	00:22:29
	Being so patient.	00:22:31
	What we had in the.	00:22:33
	Let's go again, Mr. Mayor. I I almost want to rethink my my nomination to be the Municipal League representative for the city, to	00:22:39
	know where I could be with that.	00:22:43
	I will say though that attending something municipalities already did represent the city well. He was well liked and everybody	00:22:48
	knows Gordy up there and I'm sure everybody with the municipal is going to going to miss you as well too. And I just want to say	00:22:53
	it's been an honor working with you and.	00:22:57
	Serving with you over the years as well too, so thank you, Gordy.	00:23:01
	Again, I'd like to echo that, thank you so much, Gordy. And and I mean your family is a testament to how good of a person you are.	00:23:09
	And I appreciate everything you've done for for this, for the town and the city of Socorro and and and your family continues doing	00:23:16
	it. So you guys done right.	00:23:22
	Appreciate you.	00:23:29
	Mr. Partridge and mistakes whenever my first time running and he was so gracious, even through the process he he he was	00:23:31
	encouraging.	00:23:36
	And just a really good person. He wanted, he wants well, you know he wants well even change.	00:23:42
	Was the outcome. Maybe wasn't what he wanted, but he never had a sour attitude towards that. He never was.	00:23:48
	He was nothing but kind to me, his family's kind.	00:23:53
	That's kind of the people around. He was kind. It was soon as it happened, he was all about getting the transition peacefully and	00:23:56
	getting the getting this council put together and being a part of it, not being destructive about it in any way, shape or form.	00:24:02
	It's phenomenal. So thank you for helping too, Mr. Mr. Hicks.	00:24:08
	Mr. Tsunami.	00:24:15
	Already you've not only been an example of how to be a an effective.	00:24:17
	Kind, generous, public servant. But you've been an example to me on how to treat people. That's more important. I I appreciate the	00:24:24
	lessons that I've learned from you and and the stories that we've shared and and your Mark Carmel experiences. And I can relate	00:24:32
	and I and I can relate with them and I just want to tell you thank you and I appreciate, appreciate you very much.	00:24:39
	Mr. *****.	00:24:48
	If you do live for guys team.	00:24:52
	And the family And Gordie, you don't have to sit through another council meeting if you don't want to.	00:24:55
	That's OK.	00:25:02
	Thank you, gorgeous.	00:25:07
	OK, I had two other ones.	00:25:25
	We'll skip those again.	00:25:28
	No, they won't be coming, but they'll be getting.	00:25:30
	And then Mr. Miller said he was not going to show up for the agenda item. But we've been doing some research and there are gun	00:25:33
	ranges everywhere, including on state lands, and there's never been any comment about that. I don't know about the noise	00:25:39
	pollution, but we'll give another chance to come and another time.	00:25:45
	So that's something that.	00:25:52
	We can talk about what we're doing. We have been doing some investigation about any kind of problems that other gun Rangers might.	00:25:53
	So including we've talked to New Mexico Tech to be able to maybe utilize their gun range and so we're we're kind of working on his	00:26:02
	problem.	00:26:06
	And new.	00:26:12
	We had a No, it's not signed by the governor.	00:26:14
	But we had a fairly good legislative session. The city got about two and a half million.	00:26:17
	On our on.	00:26:25
	Needs The biggest one was Finley.	00:26:27
	We also got the sound system at the rodeo. We also got money to landscape and move the monument.	00:26:31
	From El Camino Real, we also received.	00:26:39
	Funds to do.	00:26:43
	A spec building.	00:26:44
	We got about 700,000.	00:26:46
	To do a spec building at the Eagle pitcher cleanup, which will try to invite.	00:26:48
	You know, just like this is a small scale Las lunas.	00:26:54
	Like Los Lunas has the warehouses up there, you know with the different Amazons coming and Facebook and Walmart is there. So we	00:26:58
	have money to start a building that we can then invite some company to come in especially since the.	00:27:06
	The interchange at Escondido is going to be redone and it'll it'll be able to be more inviting to semis and things like that. So	00:27:14
	that's why we also receive, Did I miss any other?	00:27:21
	To the museum, The planning of the museum the museum grant we brought a Gwen Valentino has been doing a great job and putting	00:27:29
	together some grants, so we replied to the State Historical Preservation Office for a $250,000 grant to do an interpretive part	00:27:35
	of.	00:27:41
	El Camino Real Heritage Center to design it and then we can apply it also for bricks and mortar after we get the design done.	00:27:49
	We've gotten authorization from the.	00:27:57
	State Highway Department to turn into.	00:28:02
	The Convention Center and the R.	00:28:06
	Park we have to put a cattle guard there and we've done that, so now we can actually get people coming off of Hwy. 60.	00:28:08
	We're looking at a name, a named celebrity. I don't know. I shouldn't say anything until we get them, but my name is Neil McCoy.	00:28:16
	We're trying to get him to headline our July 3rd.	00:28:27
	But that's going to be something that people have asked about these modular buildings we got from the from the school system. We	00:28:31
	had a caretaker at one time, Michael Director that lived there. He is gone. That was his trailer, although we hate to have it	00:28:36
	moved.	00:28:42
	So we've got one of the modulators is going to be set.	00:28:47
	As a housing, and I'm hoping housing.	00:28:51
	Region 7 will help us with that if we if if the person qualifies to.	00:28:55
	For rent, we're going to get that and then also there's going to be another modular, that'll be showers.	00:29:02
	Bathroom, kitchen and a meeting facility for the RV park and the other modulars being moved over there to Zimmerly and we're going	00:29:07
	to show that to the Friends of the Library so we can try to make that.	00:29:13
	Presumably into a into a.	00:29:19
	Judicial complex.	00:29:23
	And so we're working with the schools.	00:29:24
	Our natural gas trucks are.	00:29:27
	They'll be here hopefully next week.	00:29:30
	Finally, and we've gotten 3 dump trucks.	00:29:32
	We did not get the gas farm that we were natural gas farm that we're going to build money for that, but we're looking for that we.	00:29:35
	Still the the Senior Center is still working with the Gita. I don't know if the county, I don't know if the county Commission.	00:29:44
	But the County Commission give us a building.	00:29:55
	But they want to see a budget.	00:30:00
	But so we're going to be asking the county Commission to give us the Vegeta building so we can.	00:30:03
	Make sure that all the seniors up there and that's a huge number that that it's going to get served for and and Linda Maurice is	00:30:10
	doing a great job with the with the Senior Center.	00:30:15
	As you know.	00:30:20
	We got 875, almost 900,000 for the for the gym and thanks to Representative Latimer and Senator.	00:30:22
	So we got money for that.	00:30:31
	But as is now, we have a million.	00:30:35
	And I think Council Dina's had meetings already is that we're planning on what we're planning to do with that area with a million	00:30:37
	that we have now.	00:30:40
	We've got a new.	00:30:45
	Activities Director, Mr. Padilla.	00:30:47
	Who is looking into upgrading our?	00:30:49
	Working physically.	00:30:53
	But.	00:30:55
	But, but see, Ruby didn't stand up. I didn't.	00:30:58
	But but he's working on trying to upgrade the equipment so that it's more attractive down there and and that's something that he's	00:31:05
	worked on a corn hole tournament and I hate that would but he's working on that. You got how many teams.	00:31:13
	So that's that's that's going.	00:31:24
	Pretty strong so and I know Steve has done a great job out there at the soccer field in the rodeo and I think coach accomplished	00:31:26
	bringing a flag football or you bringing some teams like you did last year.	00:31:32
	This number we've got, yeah, we've got a really big I think we had almost 1000 kids.	00:31:39
	We, in fact, you know this, I mean, for all you football fans we just had.	00:31:44
	Our first kid that was offered by, I mean not we, but in Mexico had their first kid who was offered by Alabama first time. Like	00:31:49
	we've got a top, like two or three.	00:31:53
	Offer from Makita, one of the kids that was at the camp this last year.	00:31:58
	But anyway, yeah, we had all the best talent in the state here.	00:32:02
	So that's going to be, I think that will be a big project, but the roadie arenas doing doing well, the Convention Center Des and	00:32:06
	Shannon are doing great out there.	00:32:11
	So all that all that stuff is going on. I want to try to get you at May not once a month goes to all the different directors.	00:32:16
	Department directors and I'll send you her report for each of the departments and I think that'll help you with the stuff that's	00:32:24
	that's going on.	00:32:29
	I think that's Mr.	00:32:35
	We also receive funding for matching a federal grant for.	00:32:38
	So, so those lights that are that we almost have 700,000.	00:32:45
	For lighting at studio park so we need to work with Southwest side Southwest.	00:32:50
	On your project about reconfiguring.	00:32:55
	The fields and everything. So we don't put the lights in the wrong place, but we've got, we've got matching. We have 380,000 from	00:32:57
	the feds and we've got.	00:33:02
	A mistake. So, so you know that ended up giving about 2.5 million, which is probably the most that we've.	00:33:09
	You know the old story about if you don't ask, you don't get. And believe me they were. If you looked, you look through the list	00:33:16
	of if you just go to the, I'm not sure which bill it was. But if you look and you can see every town and what they got starting	00:33:21
	from Albuquerque down to.	00:33:25
	Las Cruces and IS they gave out a billion dollars worth of projects.	00:33:31
	Billion. Dollars.	00:33:37
	We have, we received money for, you already know we received about a million to cover the, the, the.	00:33:40
	Arena and for heating so we can have will have in the winter, we'll have a heated arena, indoor, basically indoor arena. We did	00:33:46
	get money for CDBG project on Cuba Rd.	00:33:52
	However, the estimates, the amount that it's going to cost to do it, it came up really, really high. So Donald has put in to do a	00:33:59
	contingency. I think they have a where you can get money, extra money to do a project. We got about 800,000, we need a million	00:34:04
	too.	00:34:10
	Hello, yes Sir, due to inflation a lot of the.	00:34:16
	Amount of the cost overruns of the CDBG projects. A lot of communities didn't apply because they knew that.	00:34:20
	The match was going to be in a half $1,000,000.	00:34:25
	So that left extra CDBG funding and that application should come out on the 29th.	00:34:28
	And just to tell you about revenue, I mean it.	00:34:35
	States getting money.	00:34:38
	And I'm not sure where this came from.	00:34:40
	But our grocery seats for the very first time.	00:34:43
	Were 720,000.	00:34:47
	We've never had. She's over 500.	00:34:50
	And then we then we also get small cities.	00:34:54
	And it was supposed to be, I think the Budget Committee had it for 230 and we got something like 530.	00:34:58
	So financially we're in good shape and that's why I offered you guys some money or Councillor Salomi offered you some money, but	00:35:06
	well, don't get the budget committees. But we are, but we are, you know, and again, I, I, I kind of alluded to the fact about	00:35:13
	Zimmerly and Seracino.	00:35:19
	And we haven't signed the agreement with my agreement with a, with a, with a Superintendent and the chairman of.	00:35:26
	School board was that the city would inherit.	00:35:34
	And so that we would then start thinking about programs in Saracen or whether they were vocational or 100% Socorro or other	00:35:38
	programs.	00:35:44
	Permanent, permanent place where the, you know we were talking about the.	00:35:51
	Esports, maybe to have an arena like that at Saraceno, so there are things that we can do, We just have to be financially prudent	00:35:58
	as to how we spend it.	00:36:03
	So all that has been going on. And in the meantime, you know, we have a Police Department, we've got a fire department, we've got	00:36:08
	an ambulance that just broke down after, I don't know, 300,000 miles or something like that. We've got animal control, dispatch. I	00:36:14
	mean, there's we have what, 20, there's something like 20 departments.	00:36:21
	And so all that.	00:36:27
	Is the constant wheels going around? You know, they always tell people, when I used to watch the Ed Sullivan Show, this guy would	00:36:29
	come up with these plates that he would want 10 plates. And he was always by the time you got to that plate, the last plate would	00:36:34
	be going, had to run back there.	00:36:40
	It's just not places, department heads.	00:36:49
	So that's what we we try to keep putting energy into each.	00:36:52
	Because, I mean, these guys just get worn out. I mean, that's.	00:36:56
	GRT e-mail Do you think little?	00:37:00
	I I hope. I hope so. But I don't. I'm not counting on it to go. I mean to to we've never, ever, ever, ever had $700,000 in	00:37:04
	groceries. And I don't know if it's a highway project.	00:37:09
	Do you think that's always in the back of my head is they made a mistake, They made a mistake in Santa Rosa about seven years ago	00:37:15
	to the platoon of about a million two and they wanted their money back.	00:37:20
	And of course politics that got out of it. But but that's the only thing, you know, we used to when we used to get a check like	00:37:26
	that, we'd put it under our our blotter for about 3.	00:37:31
	We wouldn't put it in the bank. I got a check from Enron once.	00:37:37
	For $170,000 and Pat and I we just, we hit it underneath the bottom for three months thinking it was a mistake, but it wasn't a	00:37:41
	mistake that Enron had to settle with because we buy national gas from at one time. But it's.	00:37:48
	It's a little scary, really.	00:37:56
	Because you don't know if it was a mistake or what, because there's no big project to tech.	00:37:58
	You know you've got a big project coming up. The school's coming up.	00:38:04
	The roads, the roads got that was a pretty good project, but I have no idea where that came from.	00:38:08
	I don't know. I mean, you never can find out really, 'cause if you pay $1.00, they'll tell you that person pay, they won't give	00:38:19
	you.	00:38:23
	Well, which is proprietary, I mean.	00:38:27
	But anyway, but just so that's kind of a little update on the.	00:38:29
	Any largest tax up also that?	00:38:33
	It's pretty steady and larger tax is pretty.	00:38:37
	Even that month.	00:38:41
	You know, larger tax usually.	00:38:43
	Is 30,000.	00:38:46
	35,000.	00:38:49
	We get about 400,000.	00:38:51
	And that that's not fluctuated much, it's and 1st responders are solid.	00:38:54
	They're solid for the next 2-3 years.	00:39:00
	They actually added a couple of and they're going into virtual which is being put into.	00:39:02
	Thing up there, So that's.	00:39:08
	But I don't know.	00:39:11
	It is.	00:39:13
	Did you find anything about?	00:39:16
	Tech graduation.	00:39:18
	It's May.	00:39:23
	And that's already been reserved for the rodeo linen or it is going to be at the rodeo. So there's, you know, again, I think high	00:39:24
	school wanted palm at the Convention Center. We're going to work with them. I think high school graduation, was it at that rodeo	00:39:28
	or no?	00:39:33
	I think it was, yeah. So, so those, I mean those.	00:39:38
	Those facilities are getting used.	00:39:42
	We're not getting a lot of money from the people who use them.	00:39:45
	Marianne project going good.	00:39:49
	We have the groundbreaking on Tuesday, February 27th at 11:00, so we'd like to invite the public.	00:39:52
	To the groundbreaking. Oh, you're there. You're the Mayor Hotel.	00:39:59
	But the but the same people that are demoing that did the dirt work at the junior high it's in Guzman construction is the same	00:40:04
	people that did.	00:40:08
	That One South just make a point. I'm sure everybody's aware of the fact that that rodeo arena went where it went.	00:40:12
	Allowed the growth of Socorro to move out that way, to allow Marianne to put her her facility, to allow for a lot of things that	00:40:21
	are the benefits that are they keep coming from the city building that rodeo arena.	00:40:29
	And Hwy. 60, Project WE.	00:40:37
	We're still waiting for the engineer to do the final scop.	00:40:39
	Because that's going to be, I keep dreading the.	00:40:43
	That. That junior high.	00:40:47
	Because I'm hoping that the Highway 60 will be adequate along with Michigan.	00:40:50
	To have the in and out.	00:40:55
	200 people, they're going to be dropping people.	00:40:56
	That's and then high school kids too, on top of.	00:41:00
	That's that's my biggest concern of that area being congested.	00:41:03
	So.	00:41:10
	Street Projects The Fowler St. project is on the way.	00:41:13
	The walkway.	00:41:17
	That's going to get started in March, Lloyd.	00:41:18
	And which And Manzanera.	00:41:21
	Is going to get started. So we have about four projects in Cuba. Rd. will get started. Depending on that we can put the money	00:41:25
	together.	00:41:28
	So that's that's where we're at on that. And Mr. Mayor Center St. in Mccutchen will also be in March. McCutcheon. Yeah, so.	00:41:32
	We're doing those.	00:41:39
	Any old, old business that anybody wants to bring up?	00:41:42
	I want to tell you that I do have the number.	00:41:46
	For the substation.	00:41:50
	And we're giving it to our financial people.	00:41:52
	To do the pro forma as to what the cost will be per kilowatt?	00:41:57
	Not letting the cat out of the bag. If I give you a number, it's 12 million.	00:42:03
	That includes that includes a subst.	00:42:09
	It includes the distribution.	00:42:12
	And then includes about 5 things I can't remember.	00:42:15
	Capacity is one thing, Capacity.	00:42:19
	Yeah. So, and that that means new distribution lines to all the different businesses.	00:42:22
	One of the five things is a backup transformer as well. In case anything happens with one or for maintenance it has to go offline,	00:42:27
	we'll have a backup.	00:42:31
	So just just to inform you on.	00:42:35
	And then what we'll do is to take.	00:42:39
	Number.	00:42:42
	But as to what the revenue would?	00:42:45
	But the good news?	00:42:48
	There's grants out there that we have people.	00:42:50
	Actually, I.	00:42:54
	The gentleman that that Mary Ann's working with.	00:42:57
	He also.	00:43:02
	Grants for solar.	00:43:03
	And substations.	00:43:05
	And so he he figures he could probably get half of that in grants.	00:43:06
	And from the money that people are putting into electric?	00:43:11
	Right now. So so we have to work that number down and I know everybody's waiting for that one number which how much is it per	00:43:15
	kilowatt, but that's, that's the number.	00:43:20
	That we're looking at and I want to I will send you an article that I was in Durango the other day. The La Plata Electric has also	00:43:25
	been fighting with tri-state and for three.	00:43:30
	And so they have some.	00:43:36
	Don't get take it from me, it's in the newspaper from Durango. About what?	00:43:39
	Kind of trouble they've been having with tri-state. They're trying to leave trash state also.	00:43:44
	And that's La Plata is a big, big and.	00:43:48
	Again, like kit cars.	00:43:52
	The Plata? That's that Durango.	00:43:55
	They're 100% solar during the day.	00:43:57
	They don't. They. They everybody that's 100%.	00:44:01
	So that that's where everything's going and that's put a lot of pressure on the electric utilities because they actually.	00:44:05
	Pushing solar.	00:44:13
	The amount of capacity that these people were putting back into the grid was too much for the grid.	00:44:15
	So they stop. They.	00:44:20
	And that's in the article. But they stopped.	00:44:23
	Pushing So.	00:44:28
	So anyway, so that's that's the situation there.	00:44:30
	Executive session.	00:44:36
	I gave everything about the executive decision and.	00:44:37
	There's intercession.	00:44:40
	OK, So what do we got? Personnel matters.	00:44:44
	You put that first before the marriage report.	00:44:49
	OK. Well, we'll just do it then.	00:44:54
	I believe there's more.	00:44:56
	Well, that was an executive session. OK, job, job description. That's a job description, Donald, what is that?	00:44:59
	Ruby is adjusting one of her.	00:45:08
	But you adjusted her job description or that job gathered salary range in the job description.	00:45:19
	Well, then it went from 40 to 50. Yes, Sir, yes.	00:45:28
	Moved and seconded.	00:45:33
	All in favor.	00:45:35
	OK, so there she is there on the Clara Reyes on the personnel changes.	00:45:37
	And that's an administrative delinquency and collection clerk, a 43.	00:45:42
	At 7:27.	00:45:47
	That's all I got.	00:45:50
	I'll make a motion to approve the personnel changes.	00:45:52
	Seconded discussion.	00:45:57
	All in favor.	00:45:59
	Business Registration, Eminem, Latin Plaster Manual, Gutierrez, Los Lunas.	00:46:01
