	There's an item on there. I just would like to know what that quality of life amount, what that quality of life is.	00:01:56
	Mayor pro town council. So that's a grant. It's a quality of life grant. It's 923,000. We did spend some money out of that. So I	00:02:07
	won't get the reimbursement till this fiscal year. So I had to budget that. So I had to move some money from general fund to cover	00:02:12
	that expense, but we'll get the reimbursement this year.	00:02:18
	Actually, I think we didn't. Did we approve the consent agenda? No. No, we did not.	00:02:24
	I need a motion to approve the consent agenda.	00:02:30
	Second, all in favor?	00:02:34
	All opposed.	00:02:38
	On item and councillor the that grant is to wrap the facility, try to keep the wind out and hopefully also we'll have enough	00:02:40
	funding to install a heating system.	00:02:46
	OK, so I'll make a motion. We approve. Approve budget resolution #48.	00:02:55
	All in favor, aye?	00:03:05
	OK. And then, Madam?	00:03:09
	Is that 105 budget resolution in House resolution #105?	00:03:12
	The economic development, I don't know what item was out.	00:03:17
	The 252.	00:03:26
	Is.	00:03:30
	Hang.	00:03:34
	Yup.	00:03:41
	That was the, So what I did is I just moved from economic development to contractual services because we have the contractual	00:03:44
	services and I didn't budget enough. So I just moved it from one line item to another. So what's, what's the contract?	00:03:55
	From the dot, he's the one that's.	00:04:09
	This went through City Council, the contract went through City Council. So and then it's it's for also for Jason pianist. So those	00:04:13
	two come out of economic development.	00:04:18
	Helping us get money in sanity. He's a former assistant secretary of the Department of Transportation. Has got a lot of good	00:04:25
	connections in South Bay. So I just am budgeting up in that contract right now.	00:04:32
	I just moved it from development into that line item. So we still have my take and Jay as their lobbyists as well too. Yes, Sir.	00:04:39
	And the flood control, right? He does flood control.	00:04:44
	And then?	00:04:51
	Did you have?	00:04:53
	That was 33 login Simpson that we're we had three.	00:04:57
	Justin Reese is kind of like our consultant. So we we use them a lot for our grants that we're working on.	00:05:03
	Any answers? What do you help him with? What did he help us with? With him today? He helped us get some extra funding for Cuba	00:05:10
	Road and for Bullock directly. Appropriation, direct appropriation from the dot.	00:05:16
	And that that economic development money, is that from the Leader Fund?	00:05:22
	It's Lita. Well, it's the GRT money that remember we raised the GRT and we, I moved that money and I moved to $100,000 a year in	00:05:27
	there. And that's what we use it for economic development. And I know you guys were supposed to you have a committee or a kind of	00:05:34
	sort of, so I know that's kind of the money that we use for economic development.	00:05:41
	I'll make a motion. We pass budget resident in-house budget resolution #105.	00:05:52
	Next is in house.	00:06:02
	All in favor opposed.	00:06:06
	And then I guess the in-house 107, Madam Mayor.	00:06:10
	I guess the in-house budget resolution 107 can answer it because it dealt with my quality of life grand and I just was going to	00:06:18
	ask what what it does. So in house resolutions, it's just they're like my budget items like if I go over I can move just line	00:06:24
	items from one to another. And it's not required approved by the state. But I do like to show it to council just to show that I do	00:06:30
	move line items around. And this year I moved a lot because there was a lot of activity this year. We had a lot going on this	00:06:36
	year.	00:06:42
	So I do have a lot of US regulations on that in house anyways.	00:06:48
	I guess I was going to be used for.	00:06:58
	Phone systems and other admin yeah. So if I go over so we had yeah I went over on a few things I didn't budget.	00:07:01
	Like our phone systems, our liability insurance PRAA, couple of them were because we gave those reasons. So I did go over on those	00:07:12
	line items and when I budgeted at the beginning of the year, I kind of estimate. So sometimes I don't estimate accurately on some	00:07:18
	line items, but we did have a lot of activity.	00:07:24
	This year, so and Madam Mayor and what you'll see this every July because it's closing out the final budget and getting the	00:07:31
	question and the fund actually isn't in the red. It's just that line item. I just don't want to have line item in the negative.	00:07:40
	When I report to the state the whole fund can't be in the red and usually if the funds in the red that's why I do an actual bar an	00:07:51
	in house resolution. The fund isn't in the red, I'm just moving line items.	00:07:56
	This might be a good time to mention that Ruby's department was awarded an award from the Mexican Municipal League for our audits.	00:08:01
	On that note, I'll make a motion to pass in house resolution #107.	00:08:10
	All in favor? Aye. All opposed. Thank you.	00:08:19
	OK, public forum, we'd like to welcome Socorro County Manager Andy Lockridge.	00:08:27
	Thank you for coming. You're welcome. Thank you all members of City Council.	00:08:36
	Everybody else in the audience, my name is Andy Logic. Some of you know me.	00:08:42
	Mr. Fleming may know me too well from all those days working CS when we still had the rooms back there at the old junior high. Mr.	00:08:48
	Salome, good to see you again. Everybody else here, it's a pleasure. I just want to take this time to let you all know that in the	00:08:54
	brief tenure that I've been here in the last three weeks, a lot has happened to be able to bring back cooperation between the city	00:09:01
	and the county.	00:09:08
	Not only are we working together, but we now have a new partnership with the new president over at New Mexico Tech.	00:09:16
	As well as all of our work with the school district as well. In fact, I just wanted to bring to your attention now that tomorrow	00:09:22
	morning, Kenny Gonzalez and I are going to be finalizing the deal to where we're going to be able to have four students from the	00:09:29
	high school coming to our equipment shop and start working with the county. So that we can get these kids needed exposure to	00:09:37
	what's out there as well as build up their resumes and let them know that there's more to life after high school and.	00:09:44
	For that, whether it be college or whether or not the college, there's definitely roles for every student to play here, not only	00:09:52
	in the city, but in the county of Socorro as well. Hopefully what we'll be able to do is articulate to everybody that just like	00:09:59
	myself, we might leave, we might leave for 30 years, but Socorro is Socorro is in our hearts it we're always going to bleed	00:10:07
	warrior blue. And so we just want to make sure that we keep that commitment growing, that we make sure.	00:10:14
	That we keep the lines of communication growing strong. So it's been nice working with Mr. Monet that we've been able to do all	00:10:22
	kinds of different lines of communication so far. That when it comes to how we're going to be sharing not only some of our funds,	00:10:29
	but making sure that the ambulance service is up and running the way it needs to and we can work on getting you guys those funds	00:10:37
	just a little bit quicker. And so it's those types of steps and everything that's coming on.	00:10:44
	The wrestling program, I cannot tell you how nice it's been living over there in southeastern Colorado and seeing the wrestling	00:10:52
	program going as strong as it is. And if we need to start doing some type of different grants between the city and the county to	00:10:59
	create opportunities for our youth, I'm all for it. And so that's going to be one of those commitments that we have going on as	00:11:05
	well. So with that being said.	00:11:11
	If you all have any questions, always always feel free. My door is open.	00:11:18
	And we're going to continue that line of communication. I don't want to take up too much of your time tonight because I know you	00:11:24
	have a large agenda, luckily.	00:11:28
	Our agenda got really short tonight, so I was able to get here a little bit quicker, but if there's anything you ever need, please	00:11:33
	do not hesitate to ask. And we're going to make sure that we continue to get moving in the future. So with that, thank you, thank	00:11:38
	you, thank you, good luck. Thank you.	00:11:44
	Thank you and welcome.	00:11:49
	OK. Anybody else?	00:11:52
	Public forum.	00:11:55
	Hello, my name is Mary Baca and I come before you one time a couple years back.	00:12:06
	OK.	00:12:19
	First off, I want to say thank you for putting the speed bump all the way across Fisher St.	00:12:21
	Because people were swerving and I was almost getting hit on a couple of times because they didn't want to. So I remember posting	00:12:31
	it on the soccer safety watch if you guys could put it all the way across, and I don't know who did, but thank you very much.	00:12:38
	The second time I came before you guys, I.	00:12:47
	Was in a panic. Umm I couldn't locate my.	00:12:52
	5 1/2 year old granddaughter at the time.	00:12:58
	And this was a few years back and I remember coming in front of you guys and asking you guys for your help.	00:13:03
	To get her and moved to my daughter's house and.	00:13:11
	Which did not workout very well, but.	00:13:17
	Then she went to an aunt's house and didn't workout very well. Then my stepson.	00:13:20
	Called me at work one day and told me to go to Las Cruces and help me get my granddaughter moved to his house because she was	00:13:29
	crying.	00:13:35
	And stuff. And he wanted her, but his wife didn't want her.	00:13:41
	So, umm.	00:13:46
	Things didn't workout.	00:13:49
	Well, again.	00:13:51
	For the last three years.	00:13:54
	OK, I'm gonna. My emotions have been.	00:13:57
	Up and down.	00:14:01
	For the last three years because I have to been going to my parents house, taking care of my mom, my dad and my son.	00:14:04
	With the help of my siblings as well, but me has the majority.	00:14:12
	Was because I'm the one that is responsible for giving them their medication, whatever.	00:14:19
	So I'm kind of up in the air with my emotions, so I'm going to try to fumble it a little bit here and.	00:14:27
	Try not to get too emotional, but try to get straight to the point. But.	00:14:35
	OK.	00:14:41
	No, my granddaughter is now 15 1/2. She's living with another foster family and she's doing OK. I.	00:14:44
	But now, today I present in front of you. My father passed away in January.	00:14:55
	I've been the whole them.	00:15:04
	And the main person to give my mother and my son their medication.	00:15:08
	And being responsible for the majority of the stuff that I'm in control of everything how you say, power of attorney, OK.	00:15:14
	So.	00:15:24
	When my dad passed away in January, I got blamed for a lot of stuff.	00:15:26
	That I wasn't aware of.	00:15:31
	From my son's wife, my stepson's wife.	00:15:34
	She had told my granddaughter, my 15 year old granddaughter lies about me, the mother, my granddaughter's mother, lies about me	00:15:43
	and this was all supposedly said at my dad's burial when we were all at the cemetery.	00:15:51
	Umm, I vaguely remember who was at my dad's funeral.	00:16:00
	I just remember looking behind me to see if my husband was there.	00:16:06
	And my eldest stepson was there.	00:16:12
	Because I knew that my granddaughter and my other grandchildren were with their parents.	00:16:18
	So I didn't wasn't concerned with my grandchildren at the time.	00:16:26
	But I kind of entered this out to Mr. Salome that day when I saw Mr. Romero as well.	00:16:33
	Couple months back.	00:16:42
	But today?	00:16:44
	I'm trying to.	00:16:48
	Yeah, my stepson's wife obstacle YFD program because she.	00:16:51
	Basically used my granddaughter to get into the system so she wouldn't have to go out into the world and look for a job.	00:16:59
	So this is where I was at when I got vaguely interrupted.	00:17:09
	By one of your city police officers.	00:17:17
	OK.	00:17:21
	I never have a moment's rest. It's like.	00:17:25
	Something always happens within the day. I can never accomplish something. A man start a new task because like I said, I was	00:17:30
	trying to get my stepson's wife off the CYFD program and then I got assaulted by one of your city police officers.	00:17:39
	And I did file Oversight Commission complaint form with.	00:17:50
	Mr. Panetta.	00:17:57
	OK, umm.	00:18:01
	The last time I filed one of these.	00:18:03
	I think it was about 20 some years ago.	00:18:08
	Against the Richard Lopez and it didn't workout very well.	00:18:12
	OK.	00:18:16
	So I'm not sure.	00:18:18
	How to go about this?	00:18:22
	So if you get together with Donald, he knows the process, he can help you with the process. As far as the police oversight	00:18:25
	Commission, right? Yes, ma'am. The the complaints with our attorney that overseas the police oversight Commission, We're waiting	00:18:30
	to hear back from her so we can schedule the meeting.	00:18:36
	I was told not to tell you very much about the case, but.	00:18:44
	You know.	00:18:49
	I was just kind of.	00:18:51
	I even when we were in the courtroom and I did ask the judge.	00:18:53
	When you're eating because there was somebody in front of Maine.	00:19:01
	And officer was coming.	00:19:08
	North. I was going South. He turned his lights on.	00:19:11
	And then when he turned around, he turned them off.	00:19:16
	But here's the thing, when we got to the stop light, his lights were still not on and he was running my license plate.	00:19:21
	He was, you know.	00:19:32
	So I said fine, OK, he's running my plate.	00:19:36
	And then when we took off, he pulled me over, so I pulled over.	00:19:40
	This is for the hearing, I think. I think this would be better offset at the Oversight Commission than here.	00:19:44
	Because we only give like 5 minutes. So it's better that when you present your case, you do present it to the police oversight	00:19:54
	Commission. Okay. The thing is that I was told is that.	00:20:00
	This officer is the.	00:20:10
	Well, he was arguing with my husband two weeks prior to he pulled me over.	00:20:14
	Because he did run my husband's license plate on his car.	00:20:21
	So, so now they're telling, I heard, I'm hearing a lot of stories about this officer, right? But there's nothing that we can do	00:20:26
	because it's just public forum. So I think if you follow through with the police oversight commissioner, it's in your best	00:20:33
	interest. OK, thank you. Thank you.	00:20:41
	Anyone else for public funds?	00:20:50
	Good evening all. My name is Dennis Vicente. I live at 605 Colton Drive. You guys hear me? All right then. I have. I've had this	00:21:01
	issue for about, I guess 12 years now about my.	00:21:09
	Garage, you know, getting flooded saturated with water, you know so and what the colors that I can see is two or three different	00:21:19
	factors I guess one is the pipe that goes underneath communal real.	00:21:28
	Is not big enough to supplies all the areas. Probably my calculation I see maybe 40 to 50 acres.	00:21:39
	Property to the West and I'm sure everybody's familiar with the area. And anyway, I don't think that pipe is big enough to drain	00:21:50
	all that water that's coming down and with all the new housing that's going in and the new driveways and more pavement that's	00:21:59
	causing more and more water to come down that area.	00:22:08
	But and so.	00:22:17
	I've had about five times that water went into my garage.	00:22:20
	And Sunday night with the rain we had, I'm not sure how much rain we got, but we the water literally almost went into my garage	00:22:28
	again. And two years ago, there was water that almost went in my living room. It was within an inch of coming into my living room.	00:22:39
	So.	00:22:50
	I'm just here to say, you know one option.	00:22:52
	The main option is to me would be to replace that pipe. I know it's costly and whatnot. I work for doing this type of work for 35	00:22:58
	years. So I know what the costs are cost on those things. So then that would be the main solution. But another thing is.	00:23:09
	You know, keeping the vegetation clean in that Slough where the water collects the little dam and trying to keep that so that the	00:23:20
	water flows freely all the way to the pipe. And, you know, I've had this issue. I've gone to my insurance company. Well, it's not	00:23:29
	a dwelling. That's what I get.	00:23:37
	On there so.	00:23:46
	I I'd like to just bring it up and see if we can, you know, have this rectified. Mr. O'Malley, has the city ever?	00:23:48
	Heard of this happening before at the same area. Yes, Sir. I met with Mr. Vincent they two years ago and he said his house almost	00:24:04
	flooded and then the next day I took Lloyd over to look at it. I can't remember exactly what Lloyd told me, but we'll I'll let him	00:24:12
	know again tomorrow if we can look into that. The location it's on Coulson and El Camino. Real. Yeah, that's the exact address.	00:24:20
	I live at 605605 which is 2 houses off of El Camino Real.	00:24:29
	Another problem with that area is as you're approaching El Camino, the roads at an upgrade so access the dam and pushes the water	00:24:35
	back.	00:24:39
	OK.	00:24:44
	Thank you, Sir. OK, you're welcome.	00:24:47
	Anyone else for public forum?	00:24:50
	If not, we'll move on.	00:24:56
	Make a motion to approve the RFP award RFP 062424 to Magdalena.	00:24:59
	Or for the Magdalena Mons trail plant.	00:25:08
	All in favor, all opposed. Motion passes discussion, Paul.	00:25:12
	Well, that am I going to mountain trail there there was three people that that did on that project and.	00:25:23
	And a committee recommended Applied Trails Research, so that's that's who we recommended giving the bid to.	00:25:31
	Madam Mayor, if you'll remember, Mr. Rob Selena approached us a while back. We're actually working on a second grant with Mr.	00:25:41
	Sonia, but this is to design A trail plan from the top of Baldy all the way to Fox Canyon.	00:25:48
	Thank you.	00:25:57
	Maybe, um.	00:26:00
	The municipal league delegate, voting delegate and alternative alternate.	00:26:04
	I make a We need a motion to approve. Are we going to approve, Michael?	00:26:15
	Madam Mayor, so the municipal, you sent this out a couple weeks ago, the.	00:26:24
	Convention is, I believe the first week in August in Clovis, the 15th, okay. And they want to make sure that our delegate and the	00:26:31
	alternate are both present to vote. And I believe in January Council Guine was voted as our representative to the Municipal	00:26:37
	League. So if someone wants to make a motion, if he's going to be attending to, to be our voting delegate and then anybody else	00:26:44
	that might be attending if they'll be the alternate.	00:26:50
	August the 15th.	00:26:58
	And we need to send all this by the 9th.	00:27:00
	And it's in Clovis.	00:27:06
	Anybody.	00:27:10
	Motion to approve. We need that. We need an alternate too. We need an alternate. Somebody wants to go hang out. I think I can make	00:27:12
	some changes, so I'll volunteer to be the ultimate.	00:27:17
	2nd.	00:27:27
	The discussion.	00:27:28
	All in favor, aye?	00:27:32
	All opposed motion passes. I'll make a motion where you pass resolution #001A with our final budget 2nd.	00:27:34

	Madam Mayor, I will make a motion to pass resolution #24-07-23A, the DFA fourth quarter report.	00:27:54
	No second.	00:28:06
	Discussion.	00:28:07
	All in favor, aye?	00:28:11
	Yes, Sir, I would like to make a motion to pass resolution #24-07-23B. The South Central Council of Governments, 24-25.	00:28:20

	The court years ago.	00:28:44
	And we could keep it the same.	00:28:48
	Are we in discussion? Yes.	00:28:50
	So this isn't the contract, right with South Central Council of Government?	00:28:54
	It's the contract and the voting members.	00:28:59
	Did the contract amount is still the same?	00:29:04
	And Madam Mayor, I believe also in January, Councillor Dean was elected to represent us at the Council of Governments and I, I	00:29:08
	don't remember who the alternate was. I think that we might have kept it with Gordy.	00:29:14
	If you want to keep them the same, but that was just back in January, Yeah, we can.	00:29:22
	Yeah.	00:29:29
	And also this, the South Central, that's where Gwen Valentino is helping with the grants as well, right?	00:29:34
	All right, come on.	00:29:44
	All in favor.	00:29:49
	MMM.	00:29:53
	Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion. We passed resolution #24-07-23C, the LGRF Park Street, Church Street, and Center St. discussion	00:29:57
	question.	00:30:04
	Madam Mayor, sorry, so this about the completion.	00:30:11
	While at work, Madam Mayor. Yes, we've Mccutchen in April.	00:30:16
	And we actually, the council adopted the resolutions for these grants in June, but the state dot changed the resolution the way	00:30:22
	they wanted it after we'd already adopted it.	00:30:27
	That goes for the next resolution as well.	00:30:36
	OK, all in favor, all opposed. Motion passes. Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion to pass resolution #24-07-24D the map. Otero Ave.	00:30:40
	Discussion.	00:30:54
	Yes, Sir. So is this on the completion, Mr. Monet of the Otero, we did a little strip. This is actually just for design there. So	00:30:56
	we need to be a 1.2 to $1.7 million project. But yes, that is to carry the payment forward, Eric.	00:31:04
	Thank you.	00:31:15
	That was looking at the next one.	00:31:17
	OK, make a motion.	00:31:20
	All in favor.	00:31:27
	All opposed.	00:31:31
	Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion. We pass resolution #24-07-23E, the condemning of 104 Pinon St.	00:31:33
	Donald. Madam Mayor, this resolution and the following or the resolutions are following our condemnation process in the ordinance.	00:31:43
	We need to make a motion first.	00:31:47
	OK, discussion.	00:31:55
	And Antigone is this those old apartments that were trucked in there years and years ago that and I'm not sure it was Pinion, but.	00:31:59
	You've probably been dealing with for about two years. It's on their on the drive entry to the fire Academy on the left hand side.	00:32:11
	Thank you.	00:32:15
	I, I go through Kenyon St. It's a, it's a dirt Rd. isn't it? And it's kind of a little royal at this point. And so I.	00:32:25
	By driving through there, I expected to see something that would justify the vote to move the condemnation forward, but.	00:32:36
	I didn't see anything that.	00:32:47
	That was any different was this.	00:32:49
	Pinion goes all the way down to the fire Academy. This was West of.	00:32:52
	The road that you turn off to get to the fire Academy right before you get to the sign, and then you go West up toward the	00:32:59
	mountain. There's a couple of trailers there. There's a few tires in there.	00:33:04
	But.	00:33:11
	And then you can catch the other Rd. going back around.	00:33:13
	Yeah. I, I didn't see anything and I'm wondering what, what would be the, what's the purpose of the condemnation? So what this	00:33:17
	does, again, following our ordinance, this allows us to help them clean up their house, give them a bill and put a lien on their	00:33:23
	house for the work that we do. We're not trying to take their property. We're just trying to put a lien on that for the help that	00:33:28
	we're giving them. Yeah.	00:33:34
	If it's West of the the road that enters the fire Academy.	00:33:41
	And it's a dirt Rd. that's kind of a little Arroyo, and it catches the other Rd. that's up there about maybe 1/4 of a mile long.	00:33:48
	There's two trailers. Guys were doing some things out there. But, you know, it's actually on estimate. Yeah. You come off of Aspen	00:33:55
	and go West. Yeah. Yeah, Aspen, Exactly. And then go West. I didn't see anything that would justify me to say that the city should	00:34:02
	condemn anything unless there's something there that I don't know.	00:34:09
	That we don't know is there.	00:34:17
	You know, what might be helpful to us is if we had a current photo of where the property is now and the history of what the	00:34:20
	property owner has done or hasn't done to get us to this point. So Madam, Madam Mayor.	00:34:29
	Mr. Monday, if I'm not mistaken though, this just starts the process, right? And then after there's still there's still more to be	00:34:40
	done in order to just make some aware and then from we still have another.	00:34:45
	Final vote to go with it, right? If we plan to condemn it, we will. This is again, just to put the lien on the property. Like I	00:34:50
	said, we've been working with the property owner for about two years, moving old vehicles, hauling off old trees and weeds and	00:34:56
	trash that the city's accomplished. Yes, Sir. But unfortunately, unfortunately, fortunately, Choncho was not here tonight because	00:35:02
	he's a father again, so.	00:35:08
	As of today, oh, is he yesterday? So are we looking for this? Are we looking for the property owner to reimburse the city for the	00:35:14
	expenses that they've already incurred of taking out the cars and taking out the significant amount of money that's been spent on	00:35:22
	that property? That's why it looks clean because the city cleaned it. And it's also keeps us out of some violating the anti	00:35:29
	donation clause because if we do it for one person and don't charge them, we have to.	00:35:37
	For everybody.	00:35:44
	Do we have a total?	00:35:48
	I don't know right off the top of my head.	00:35:51
	I'm sure it's less than $5000, maybe 5000 at 9000, but I'm pretty sure it's less because we did the labor ourselves. So whatever	00:35:55
	we get paid from the city, we asked them to reimburse us. Kind of similar to the Sands Motel. Yes, Sir, identical. And how's that	00:36:01
	working out? We have the title, we have the deed.	00:36:07
	All in favor.	00:36:16
	Aye, opposed.	00:36:19
	And passes. OK, Madam Mayor.	00:36:21
	I'll make a motion to pass resolution #24-07-23F. The condemning of one or 1100 Sean St.	00:36:26
	That other green property because of the city cleaned it up. Yes, Sir. We don't pursue this then people then the residents will	00:36:38
	have to clean up everybody's property at the expense of the city, which isn't something that probably.	00:36:45
	You know, this is a vacant lot that was overrun with small trees, trees sold regularly and we paid a subcontractor to go in and	00:36:52
	clean them all up. It was becoming a fire hazard.	00:36:59
	We need a second, second, second.	00:37:09
	And there's another problem property right next or two houses down from it that we're working with also.	00:37:16
	Lena, OK, so I just want to let you know that Chris does attempt to contact these property owners and he does, they do get some	00:37:24
	into court and we are at the point where there's no response. So now this is where we take it. We will either get the property	00:37:31
	cleaned and now we're going to try to recoup our funds. But there has been, he has attempted to contact the owners. So there's	00:37:37
	been a lot of documentation.	00:37:44
	There's certified letters.	00:37:50
	Yes. And then if they did get a court summons, the court will say whether they appear. They did not appear.	00:37:54
	So yes, it is documented, Mr. Lamette.	00:38:00
	Posted on the property and advertised it in the newspaper at least once.	00:38:05
	Saying that that property is condemned and there's a lien on that property and X amount of dollars to be paid to the city. And	00:38:11
	then and, and if the owner comes up with that, then they can buy. What if somebody else comes up with it says I want, I'd like	00:38:17
	that property for $5000. But if they say I'll pay it, I don't think that's legal. I don't think that's legal. It has to be, it has	00:38:23
	to be the owner.	00:38:29
	Oh, OK, so the owner is the only one that can reimburse the city at this point in time. We don't, we don't care how we get	00:38:36
	reimbursed, but who reimburses us? But in order for us to remove the lien, we do want our reimbursement. And once the liens in	00:38:42
	place then the title goes is the cities the title does the title go to the city? We don't re title it, but if they ever sell it,	00:38:48
	we'll be if they don't, there's not a mortgage on it will be first in line to get paid.	00:38:55
	Thank you all in favor.	00:39:02
	So can we, can I, can I just request that the feature when we do these if we can get in our packet just kind of yeah, just the	00:39:06
	whole timeline of On this date the letter was sent and this and this and this is the affidavit in your packet.	00:39:13
	Well, we got the, we got the contact where where they were being contacted On this date and this date and this date we haven't	00:39:21
	seen, I didn't see anything for as far as like correspondence.	00:39:27
	Letters, but it does have a timeline of them being. Maybe the total in the future would be helpful too just to understand what I	00:39:35
	think. Photos.	00:39:40
	You know, in public and they're not blind side, right? I mean, they shouldn't be. I mean if you're contacted, you know, but.	00:39:49
	Thank you. Thank you all in favor opposed motion passes make the motion. We pass the special use permit for Hannah Cooper 2nd.	00:39:56

	Special special use permit so I can have food trucks over on the corner of California and spring at the property there.	00:40:28
	So you got a big parking lot All in favor, aye. Opposed.	00:40:36
	Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion pass. Resolution #24-07-23G. The Mexico Department Transportation landscaping, I-25 Exit 147 and	00:40:46
	152nd.	00:40:52
	Question, Donald.	00:41:00
	Madam Mayor, that's the final capital outlay agreement from the state and as Councillor Green said, it's to landscape our exits.	00:41:03
	Oh, OK. That was on our counselor. Dean's been asking for that for years.	00:41:13
	Yeah, all in favor, aye. Opposed.	00:41:20
	OK, author of Animal Control Officer Jason Padilla.	00:41:25
	Jason's got his hands full.	00:41:37
	Being an animal control officer for the City of Socorro. Being an animal control officer for the City of Support.	00:42:01
	Do hereby formally swear that I accept the foregoing appointment. Do you buy here for me? For I accept the.	00:42:08
	That I will support and enforce the ordinances of the City of Socorro, that I will enforce the city ordinances of school. And that	00:42:16
	I will faithfully and that I will faithfully and impartially distract, partially discharge the duties of appointment, the duties	00:42:23
	of appointment to the best of my ability, to the best of my ability. So help me God.	00:42:29
	New business.	00:42:53
	One thing I've got a numerous calls on on Cuba Rd.	00:42:55
	I, I didn't have a chance to drive by after the rain, but Donald, were you guys were to go and look at that and the situation out	00:43:01
	there, if it was worse than before, I myself didn't drive out there either. But if we get another rain like that, I will. I	00:43:07
	usually do because I take pictures to the next CDG application to include them.	00:43:14
	But I didn't make it this time, so the.	00:43:21
	I always thought that the whole curbing and everything that was being done already would make it, I mean wouldn't reduce it, but	00:43:25
	would cleared out quicker and it actually does. But that rain was for so long and so steady, I don't I don't think you could do	00:43:31
	it. But this is a little bit of a side note we reapplied for.	00:43:37
	Additional funding to do the rest of Cuba Rd. So if there's any issues, maybe we can address them when we get the next grant.	00:43:45
	We don't know at all right now at this point if it actually did drain faster than it had been before. The last time I checked it	00:43:53
	took it about and this was probably last summer. I probably took 20 minutes for the drain at the longest because the ground was	00:43:59
	still wet when I drove out there, but it there was no water on the road.	00:44:05
	And we maintain that that ditch or whatever you call it.	00:44:13
	A long mix St. and back street and stuff. Yes ma'am, that's ours. As well as what used to be Markling Road off of Cuba Rd. which	00:44:18
	we turn into a whole new pond.	00:44:24
	OK. But yes, it's our responsibility to maintain them all throughout the city.	00:44:30
	All business and still no business, Madam Mayor, I'm going to reach out at a constituent, reach out about prior to all this rain	00:44:37
	and there's an area right behind Cottonwood School.	00:44:43
	There's like a little bit the little valley in the road there and it's supposed to be run off and it looks like the concrete	00:44:50
	trucks are washing out concrete there.	00:44:55
	And it's blocking water and it's pulling there's going back out. It's creating a pool in the road. So and it's get with the basket	00:45:01
	when he was in town. I I forgot to. So I just like to mention to the council maybe can get ahold of he got some Lloyds department	00:45:09
	potentially. Yes, I did get a complaint on that also on and Lloyd went out there and and they were going to clean that.	00:45:16
	Maybe make contact with whoever was doing. I think there's some yeah. I don't, I I never found out from Lloyd who was actually	00:45:24
	dumping the concrete, but.	00:45:28
	It was a lot of contracts in council.	00:45:32
	Blame anybody, but thank you. Any other new business? No, I just wanted to say how nice things went for the wrestling event. I	00:45:36
	guess it was really nice.	00:45:41
	Yeah, sure. That was does our 5th, 5th annual tournament. It's rodeo theme that's all themed around the city of Socorro. The logo	00:45:51
	was done for us years ago with a wrestling mat underneath the city truck Campos Socorro logos. And if you'll notice when we use	00:45:57
	it, it has like, I don't know if anybody notices it, but it's a wrestling mat. It's actually underneath that starting lines and	00:46:04
	they got great big banners up there and table covers and all.	00:46:11
	Are geared towards.	00:46:18
	And they're geared towards the rodeo theme there belt buckles. We can weigh belt buckles and cowboy hats and.	00:46:22
	Pins and Cowboys roping animals if you get a pin in a match and that's a pretty unique tournament. We had a nice turn out. We had	00:46:29
	over 800 wrestlers between the two days.	00:46:34
	The Steve and Darrell and the staff up there were great. They're phenomenal. They they helped with everything. Anything we asked	00:46:42
	them to do, it's late. It's a weird tournament because really hot this time of year. So we do it late. We start like away in at	00:46:48
	4:30 in the afternoon, which is typically at 7:00 in the morning.	00:46:54
	Start at 4:30 and we start wrestling at 7. Sun starts to go down and it was raining like crazy up there, but the the facility held	00:47:00
	up the winds. The hardest game for us up there. It's not really the rain. The rain was. It was nice, people liked it, a lot of	00:47:06
	compliments, no complaints. I'm looking forward to the new sound system up there because that was a little a little spotty, but we	00:47:11
	worked with it.	00:47:16
	Overall, I think we've seen a lot of influx of a lot of people in town and upcoming score for us and RV park was busy.	00:47:22
	I don't know exactly the numbers are imagine Steven. No, but it was good that the Mississippi was great. They were busy, really	00:47:29
	busy on the second night. So thank you to them too. They showed up. They did a great job taking care of the kids there. So that's	00:47:35
	a great event. Thanks for the council. That was the first time you'll see on the voucher and we asked for some lodgers tax. We had	00:47:42
	never asked for that before to try to help really bolster the.	00:47:48
	We spent quite a bit of money on awards to really bolster the awards that we met with the mayor so we can really keep the soccer	00:47:54
	logo and everything on it and.	00:47:59
	Oh, man, in my third match, I wrestled a kid from, I think, I think one of them said New Jersey or something. A kid from New	00:48:33
	Jersey came down, whole family came down South. I think the bigger it gets, Florida, quite a bit wrestling people are. They're not	00:48:39
	saying no. They'll come and they'll go anywhere. If there's a good tournament, good competition, they'll go. Yeah, sorry. One	00:48:46
	more. This is a question when, when is the rest of the medal going to be going up there?	00:48:52
	At the arena, at the arena, they're working on it right now.	00:49:00
	Working on it as we're speaking online at night, but but they started about two weeks ago and then they stopped for three weeks	00:49:04
	ago and they stopped for the 4th of July this and they should be going again. I'll drive out there tomorrow too. They're welding	00:49:10
	purlings on the West side of it right now, so they should help with the wind quite a bit. Yeah, I think so. I don't know. We'll	00:49:16
	see. It'll be interesting. We're hoping that it does.	00:49:22
	But what we're worried about is Mr. Fleming kidney test. Mr. Fleming can attest this is that it's going to force the wind to the	00:49:29
	now the smaller open part of the arena and as he said, creative vortex. It could, but.	00:49:35
	If it does, well, make another adjustment.	00:49:43
	I have first was I was like all in for the completing of the arena completely in. But when you sit in the stands and you look up	00:49:47
	there, the site that you get to see is really pretty. So it's unique. It's very different for, you know, we sit in gyms all day	00:49:53
	long, buildings all day long. So it's unique. I'm not saying that's the only thing that goes on a thing, but for just for my event	00:49:58
	from our perspective, it's really cool. I mean, even when we battle a little bit of wind, we made some adjustments. We got first	00:50:04
	tape and we put it on the mat.	00:50:10
	Because we've had where the maps flip up because the wind gets under, we don't have that at all this year. We completely Turkey	00:50:16
	rain. And so it's good, you know, hopefully it does cut down on it, but if you maybe could do a winter event if there's heaters.	00:50:22
	We didn't want to block that view, that's why we didn't do the east side.	00:50:29
	Makes sense?	00:50:35
	Or business.	00:50:36

	Mayor pro town council. So that's a grant. It's a quality of life grant. It's 923,000. We did spend some money out of that. So I	00:02:07
	won't get the reimbursement till this fiscal year. So I had to budget that. So I had to move some money from general fund to cover	00:02:12
	that expense, but we'll get the reimbursement this year.	00:02:18
	Actually, I think we didn't. Did we approve the consent agenda? No. No, we did not.	00:02:24
	I need a motion to approve the consent agenda.	00:02:30
	Second, all in favor?	00:02:34
	All opposed.	00:02:38
	On item and councillor the that grant is to wrap the facility, try to keep the wind out and hopefully also we'll have enough	00:02:40
	funding to install a heating system.	00:02:46
	OK, so I'll make a motion. We approve. Approve budget resolution #48.	00:02:55
	All in favor, aye?	00:03:05
	OK. And then, Madam?	00:03:09
	Is that 105 budget resolution in House resolution #105?	00:03:12
	The economic development, I don't know what item was out.	00:03:17
	The 252.	00:03:26
	Is.	00:03:30
	Hang.	00:03:34
	Yup.	00:03:41
	That was the, So what I did is I just moved from economic development to contractual services because we have the contractual	00:03:44
	services and I didn't budget enough. So I just moved it from one line item to another. So what's, what's the contract?	00:03:55
	From the dot, he's the one that's.	00:04:09
	This went through City Council, the contract went through City Council. So and then it's it's for also for Jason pianist. So those	00:04:13
	two come out of economic development.	00:04:18
	Helping us get money in sanity. He's a former assistant secretary of the Department of Transportation. Has got a lot of good	00:04:25
	connections in South Bay. So I just am budgeting up in that contract right now.	00:04:32
	I just moved it from development into that line item. So we still have my take and Jay as their lobbyists as well too. Yes, Sir.	00:04:39
	And the flood control, right? He does flood control.	00:04:44
	And then?	00:04:51
	Did you have?	00:04:53
	That was 33 login Simpson that we're we had three.	00:04:57
	Justin Reese is kind of like our consultant. So we we use them a lot for our grants that we're working on.	00:05:03
	Any answers? What do you help him with? What did he help us with? With him today? He helped us get some extra funding for Cuba	00:05:10
	Road and for Bullock directly. Appropriation, direct appropriation from the dot.	00:05:16
	And that that economic development money, is that from the Leader Fund?	00:05:22
	It's Lita. Well, it's the GRT money that remember we raised the GRT and we, I moved that money and I moved to $100,000 a year in	00:05:27
	there. And that's what we use it for economic development. And I know you guys were supposed to you have a committee or a kind of	00:05:34
	sort of, so I know that's kind of the money that we use for economic development.	00:05:41
	I'll make a motion. We pass budget resident in-house budget resolution #105.	00:05:52
	Next is in house.	00:06:02
	All in favor opposed.	00:06:06
	And then I guess the in-house 107, Madam Mayor.	00:06:10
	I guess the in-house budget resolution 107 can answer it because it dealt with my quality of life grand and I just was going to	00:06:18
	ask what what it does. So in house resolutions, it's just they're like my budget items like if I go over I can move just line	00:06:24
	items from one to another. And it's not required approved by the state. But I do like to show it to council just to show that I do	00:06:30
	move line items around. And this year I moved a lot because there was a lot of activity this year. We had a lot going on this	00:06:36
	year.	00:06:42
	So I do have a lot of US regulations on that in house anyways.	00:06:48
	I guess I was going to be used for.	00:06:58
	Phone systems and other admin yeah. So if I go over so we had yeah I went over on a few things I didn't budget.	00:07:01
	Like our phone systems, our liability insurance PRAA, couple of them were because we gave those reasons. So I did go over on those	00:07:12
	line items and when I budgeted at the beginning of the year, I kind of estimate. So sometimes I don't estimate accurately on some	00:07:18
	line items, but we did have a lot of activity.	00:07:24
	This year, so and Madam Mayor and what you'll see this every July because it's closing out the final budget and getting the	00:07:31
	question and the fund actually isn't in the red. It's just that line item. I just don't want to have line item in the negative.	00:07:40
	When I report to the state the whole fund can't be in the red and usually if the funds in the red that's why I do an actual bar an	00:07:51
	in house resolution. The fund isn't in the red, I'm just moving line items.	00:07:56
	This might be a good time to mention that Ruby's department was awarded an award from the Mexican Municipal League for our audits.	00:08:01
	On that note, I'll make a motion to pass in house resolution #107.	00:08:10
	All in favor? Aye. All opposed. Thank you.	00:08:19
	OK, public forum, we'd like to welcome Socorro County Manager Andy Lockridge.	00:08:27
	Thank you for coming. You're welcome. Thank you all members of City Council.	00:08:36
	Everybody else in the audience, my name is Andy Logic. Some of you know me.	00:08:42
	Mr. Fleming may know me too well from all those days working CS when we still had the rooms back there at the old junior high. Mr.	00:08:48
	Salome, good to see you again. Everybody else here, it's a pleasure. I just want to take this time to let you all know that in the	00:08:54
	brief tenure that I've been here in the last three weeks, a lot has happened to be able to bring back cooperation between the city	00:09:01
	and the county.	00:09:08
	Not only are we working together, but we now have a new partnership with the new president over at New Mexico Tech.	00:09:16
	As well as all of our work with the school district as well. In fact, I just wanted to bring to your attention now that tomorrow	00:09:22
	morning, Kenny Gonzalez and I are going to be finalizing the deal to where we're going to be able to have four students from the	00:09:29
	high school coming to our equipment shop and start working with the county. So that we can get these kids needed exposure to	00:09:37
	what's out there as well as build up their resumes and let them know that there's more to life after high school and.	00:09:44
	For that, whether it be college or whether or not the college, there's definitely roles for every student to play here, not only	00:09:52
	in the city, but in the county of Socorro as well. Hopefully what we'll be able to do is articulate to everybody that just like	00:09:59
	myself, we might leave, we might leave for 30 years, but Socorro is Socorro is in our hearts it we're always going to bleed	00:10:07
	warrior blue. And so we just want to make sure that we keep that commitment growing, that we make sure.	00:10:14
	That we keep the lines of communication growing strong. So it's been nice working with Mr. Monet that we've been able to do all	00:10:22
	kinds of different lines of communication so far. That when it comes to how we're going to be sharing not only some of our funds,	00:10:29
	but making sure that the ambulance service is up and running the way it needs to and we can work on getting you guys those funds	00:10:37
	just a little bit quicker. And so it's those types of steps and everything that's coming on.	00:10:44
	The wrestling program, I cannot tell you how nice it's been living over there in southeastern Colorado and seeing the wrestling	00:10:52
	program going as strong as it is. And if we need to start doing some type of different grants between the city and the county to	00:10:59
	create opportunities for our youth, I'm all for it. And so that's going to be one of those commitments that we have going on as	00:11:05
	well. So with that being said.	00:11:11
	If you all have any questions, always always feel free. My door is open.	00:11:18
	And we're going to continue that line of communication. I don't want to take up too much of your time tonight because I know you	00:11:24
	have a large agenda, luckily.	00:11:28
	Our agenda got really short tonight, so I was able to get here a little bit quicker, but if there's anything you ever need, please	00:11:33
	do not hesitate to ask. And we're going to make sure that we continue to get moving in the future. So with that, thank you, thank	00:11:38
	you, thank you, good luck. Thank you.	00:11:44
	Thank you and welcome.	00:11:49
	OK. Anybody else?	00:11:52
	Public forum.	00:11:55
	Hello, my name is Mary Baca and I come before you one time a couple years back.	00:12:06
	OK.	00:12:19
	First off, I want to say thank you for putting the speed bump all the way across Fisher St.	00:12:21
	Because people were swerving and I was almost getting hit on a couple of times because they didn't want to. So I remember posting	00:12:31
	it on the soccer safety watch if you guys could put it all the way across, and I don't know who did, but thank you very much.	00:12:38
	The second time I came before you guys, I.	00:12:47
	Was in a panic. Umm I couldn't locate my.	00:12:52
	5 1/2 year old granddaughter at the time.	00:12:58
	And this was a few years back and I remember coming in front of you guys and asking you guys for your help.	00:13:03
	To get her and moved to my daughter's house and.	00:13:11
	Which did not workout very well, but.	00:13:17
	Then she went to an aunt's house and didn't workout very well. Then my stepson.	00:13:20
	Called me at work one day and told me to go to Las Cruces and help me get my granddaughter moved to his house because she was	00:13:29
	crying.	00:13:35
	And stuff. And he wanted her, but his wife didn't want her.	00:13:41
	So, umm.	00:13:46
	Things didn't workout.	00:13:49
	Well, again.	00:13:51
	For the last three years.	00:13:54
	OK, I'm gonna. My emotions have been.	00:13:57
	Up and down.	00:14:01
	For the last three years because I have to been going to my parents house, taking care of my mom, my dad and my son.	00:14:04
	With the help of my siblings as well, but me has the majority.	00:14:12
	Was because I'm the one that is responsible for giving them their medication, whatever.	00:14:19
	So I'm kind of up in the air with my emotions, so I'm going to try to fumble it a little bit here and.	00:14:27
	Try not to get too emotional, but try to get straight to the point. But.	00:14:35
	OK.	00:14:41
	No, my granddaughter is now 15 1/2. She's living with another foster family and she's doing OK. I.	00:14:44
	But now, today I present in front of you. My father passed away in January.	00:14:55
	I've been the whole them.	00:15:04
	And the main person to give my mother and my son their medication.	00:15:08
	And being responsible for the majority of the stuff that I'm in control of everything how you say, power of attorney, OK.	00:15:14
	So.	00:15:24
	When my dad passed away in January, I got blamed for a lot of stuff.	00:15:26
	That I wasn't aware of.	00:15:31
	From my son's wife, my stepson's wife.	00:15:34
	She had told my granddaughter, my 15 year old granddaughter lies about me, the mother, my granddaughter's mother, lies about me	00:15:43
	and this was all supposedly said at my dad's burial when we were all at the cemetery.	00:15:51
	Umm, I vaguely remember who was at my dad's funeral.	00:16:00
	I just remember looking behind me to see if my husband was there.	00:16:06
	And my eldest stepson was there.	00:16:12
	Because I knew that my granddaughter and my other grandchildren were with their parents.	00:16:18
	So I didn't wasn't concerned with my grandchildren at the time.	00:16:26
	But I kind of entered this out to Mr. Salome that day when I saw Mr. Romero as well.	00:16:33
	Couple months back.	00:16:42
	But today?	00:16:44
	I'm trying to.	00:16:48
	Yeah, my stepson's wife obstacle YFD program because she.	00:16:51
	Basically used my granddaughter to get into the system so she wouldn't have to go out into the world and look for a job.	00:16:59
	So this is where I was at when I got vaguely interrupted.	00:17:09
	By one of your city police officers.	00:17:17
	OK.	00:17:21
	I never have a moment's rest. It's like.	00:17:25
	Something always happens within the day. I can never accomplish something. A man start a new task because like I said, I was	00:17:30
	trying to get my stepson's wife off the CYFD program and then I got assaulted by one of your city police officers.	00:17:39
	And I did file Oversight Commission complaint form with.	00:17:50
	Mr. Panetta.	00:17:57
	OK, umm.	00:18:01
	The last time I filed one of these.	00:18:03
	I think it was about 20 some years ago.	00:18:08
	Against the Richard Lopez and it didn't workout very well.	00:18:12
	OK.	00:18:16
	So I'm not sure.	00:18:18
	How to go about this?	00:18:22
	So if you get together with Donald, he knows the process, he can help you with the process. As far as the police oversight	00:18:25
	Commission, right? Yes, ma'am. The the complaints with our attorney that overseas the police oversight Commission, We're waiting	00:18:30
	to hear back from her so we can schedule the meeting.	00:18:36
	I was told not to tell you very much about the case, but.	00:18:44
	You know.	00:18:49
	I was just kind of.	00:18:51
	I even when we were in the courtroom and I did ask the judge.	00:18:53
	When you're eating because there was somebody in front of Maine.	00:19:01
	And officer was coming.	00:19:08
	North. I was going South. He turned his lights on.	00:19:11
	And then when he turned around, he turned them off.	00:19:16
	But here's the thing, when we got to the stop light, his lights were still not on and he was running my license plate.	00:19:21
	He was, you know.	00:19:32
	So I said fine, OK, he's running my plate.	00:19:36
	And then when we took off, he pulled me over, so I pulled over.	00:19:40
	This is for the hearing, I think. I think this would be better offset at the Oversight Commission than here.	00:19:44
	Because we only give like 5 minutes. So it's better that when you present your case, you do present it to the police oversight	00:19:54
	Commission. Okay. The thing is that I was told is that.	00:20:00
	This officer is the.	00:20:10
	Well, he was arguing with my husband two weeks prior to he pulled me over.	00:20:14
	Because he did run my husband's license plate on his car.	00:20:21
	So, so now they're telling, I heard, I'm hearing a lot of stories about this officer, right? But there's nothing that we can do	00:20:26
	because it's just public forum. So I think if you follow through with the police oversight commissioner, it's in your best	00:20:33
	interest. OK, thank you. Thank you.	00:20:41
	Anyone else for public funds?	00:20:50
	Good evening all. My name is Dennis Vicente. I live at 605 Colton Drive. You guys hear me? All right then. I have. I've had this	00:21:01
	issue for about, I guess 12 years now about my.	00:21:09
	Garage, you know, getting flooded saturated with water, you know so and what the colors that I can see is two or three different	00:21:19
	factors I guess one is the pipe that goes underneath communal real.	00:21:28
	Is not big enough to supplies all the areas. Probably my calculation I see maybe 40 to 50 acres.	00:21:39
	Property to the West and I'm sure everybody's familiar with the area. And anyway, I don't think that pipe is big enough to drain	00:21:50
	all that water that's coming down and with all the new housing that's going in and the new driveways and more pavement that's	00:21:59
	causing more and more water to come down that area.	00:22:08
	But and so.	00:22:17
	I've had about five times that water went into my garage.	00:22:20
	And Sunday night with the rain we had, I'm not sure how much rain we got, but we the water literally almost went into my garage	00:22:28
	again. And two years ago, there was water that almost went in my living room. It was within an inch of coming into my living room.	00:22:39
	So.	00:22:50
	I'm just here to say, you know one option.	00:22:52
	The main option is to me would be to replace that pipe. I know it's costly and whatnot. I work for doing this type of work for 35	00:22:58
	years. So I know what the costs are cost on those things. So then that would be the main solution. But another thing is.	00:23:09
	You know, keeping the vegetation clean in that Slough where the water collects the little dam and trying to keep that so that the	00:23:20
	water flows freely all the way to the pipe. And, you know, I've had this issue. I've gone to my insurance company. Well, it's not	00:23:29
	a dwelling. That's what I get.	00:23:37
	On there so.	00:23:46
	I I'd like to just bring it up and see if we can, you know, have this rectified. Mr. O'Malley, has the city ever?	00:23:48
	Heard of this happening before at the same area. Yes, Sir. I met with Mr. Vincent they two years ago and he said his house almost	00:24:04
	flooded and then the next day I took Lloyd over to look at it. I can't remember exactly what Lloyd told me, but we'll I'll let him	00:24:12
	know again tomorrow if we can look into that. The location it's on Coulson and El Camino. Real. Yeah, that's the exact address.	00:24:20
	I live at 605605 which is 2 houses off of El Camino Real.	00:24:29
	Another problem with that area is as you're approaching El Camino, the roads at an upgrade so access the dam and pushes the water	00:24:35
	back.	00:24:39
	OK.	00:24:44
	Thank you, Sir. OK, you're welcome.	00:24:47
	Anyone else for public forum?	00:24:50
	If not, we'll move on.	00:24:56
	Make a motion to approve the RFP award RFP 062424 to Magdalena.	00:24:59
	Or for the Magdalena Mons trail plant.	00:25:08
	All in favor, all opposed. Motion passes discussion, Paul.	00:25:12
	Well, that am I going to mountain trail there there was three people that that did on that project and.	00:25:23
	And a committee recommended Applied Trails Research, so that's that's who we recommended giving the bid to.	00:25:31
	Madam Mayor, if you'll remember, Mr. Rob Selena approached us a while back. We're actually working on a second grant with Mr.	00:25:41
	Sonia, but this is to design A trail plan from the top of Baldy all the way to Fox Canyon.	00:25:48
	Thank you.	00:25:57
	Maybe, um.	00:26:00
	The municipal league delegate, voting delegate and alternative alternate.	00:26:04
	I make a We need a motion to approve. Are we going to approve, Michael?	00:26:15

	alternate are both present to vote. And I believe in January Council Guine was voted as our representative to the Municipal	00:26:37
	League. So if someone wants to make a motion, if he's going to be attending to, to be our voting delegate and then anybody else	00:26:44

	Are we in discussion? Yes.	00:28:50
	So this isn't the contract, right with South Central Council of Government?	00:28:54
	It's the contract and the voting members.	00:28:59
	Did the contract amount is still the same?	00:29:04
	And Madam Mayor, I believe also in January, Councillor Dean was elected to represent us at the Council of Governments and I, I	00:29:08
	don't remember who the alternate was. I think that we might have kept it with Gordy.	00:29:14
	If you want to keep them the same, but that was just back in January, Yeah, we can.	00:29:22
	Yeah.	00:29:29
	And also this, the South Central, that's where Gwen Valentino is helping with the grants as well, right?	00:29:34
	All right, come on.	00:29:44
	All in favor.	00:29:49
	MMM.	00:29:53
	Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion. We passed resolution #24-07-23C, the LGRF Park Street, Church Street, and Center St. discussion	00:29:57
	question.	00:30:04
	Madam Mayor, sorry, so this about the completion.	00:30:11
	While at work, Madam Mayor. Yes, we've Mccutchen in April.	00:30:16
	And we actually, the council adopted the resolutions for these grants in June, but the state dot changed the resolution the way	00:30:22
	they wanted it after we'd already adopted it.	00:30:27
	That goes for the next resolution as well.	00:30:36
	OK, all in favor, all opposed. Motion passes. Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion to pass resolution #24-07-24D the map. Otero Ave.	00:30:40
	Discussion.	00:30:54
	Yes, Sir. So is this on the completion, Mr. Monet of the Otero, we did a little strip. This is actually just for design there. So	00:30:56
	we need to be a 1.2 to $1.7 million project. But yes, that is to carry the payment forward, Eric.	00:31:04
	Thank you.	00:31:15
	That was looking at the next one.	00:31:17
	OK, make a motion.	00:31:20
	All in favor.	00:31:27
	All opposed.	00:31:31
	Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion. We pass resolution #24-07-23E, the condemning of 104 Pinon St.	00:31:33
	Donald. Madam Mayor, this resolution and the following or the resolutions are following our condemnation process in the ordinance.	00:31:43
	We need to make a motion first.	00:31:47
	OK, discussion.	00:31:55
	And Antigone is this those old apartments that were trucked in there years and years ago that and I'm not sure it was Pinion, but.	00:31:59
	You've probably been dealing with for about two years. It's on their on the drive entry to the fire Academy on the left hand side.	00:32:11
	Thank you.	00:32:15
	I, I go through Kenyon St. It's a, it's a dirt Rd. isn't it? And it's kind of a little royal at this point. And so I.	00:32:25
	By driving through there, I expected to see something that would justify the vote to move the condemnation forward, but.	00:32:36
	I didn't see anything that.	00:32:47
	That was any different was this.	00:32:49
	Pinion goes all the way down to the fire Academy. This was West of.	00:32:52
	The road that you turn off to get to the fire Academy right before you get to the sign, and then you go West up toward the	00:32:59
	mountain. There's a couple of trailers there. There's a few tires in there.	00:33:04
	But.	00:33:11
	And then you can catch the other Rd. going back around.	00:33:13
	Yeah. I, I didn't see anything and I'm wondering what, what would be the, what's the purpose of the condemnation? So what this	00:33:17
	does, again, following our ordinance, this allows us to help them clean up their house, give them a bill and put a lien on their	00:33:23
	house for the work that we do. We're not trying to take their property. We're just trying to put a lien on that for the help that	00:33:28
	we're giving them. Yeah.	00:33:34
	If it's West of the the road that enters the fire Academy.	00:33:41
	And it's a dirt Rd. that's kind of a little Arroyo, and it catches the other Rd. that's up there about maybe 1/4 of a mile long.	00:33:48
	There's two trailers. Guys were doing some things out there. But, you know, it's actually on estimate. Yeah. You come off of Aspen	00:33:55
	and go West. Yeah. Yeah, Aspen, Exactly. And then go West. I didn't see anything that would justify me to say that the city should	00:34:02
	condemn anything unless there's something there that I don't know.	00:34:09
	That we don't know is there.	00:34:17
	You know, what might be helpful to us is if we had a current photo of where the property is now and the history of what the	00:34:20
	property owner has done or hasn't done to get us to this point. So Madam, Madam Mayor.	00:34:29
	Mr. Monday, if I'm not mistaken though, this just starts the process, right? And then after there's still there's still more to be	00:34:40
	done in order to just make some aware and then from we still have another.	00:34:45
	Final vote to go with it, right? If we plan to condemn it, we will. This is again, just to put the lien on the property. Like I	00:34:50
	said, we've been working with the property owner for about two years, moving old vehicles, hauling off old trees and weeds and	00:34:56
	trash that the city's accomplished. Yes, Sir. But unfortunately, unfortunately, fortunately, Choncho was not here tonight because	00:35:02
	he's a father again, so.	00:35:08
	As of today, oh, is he yesterday? So are we looking for this? Are we looking for the property owner to reimburse the city for the	00:35:14
	expenses that they've already incurred of taking out the cars and taking out the significant amount of money that's been spent on	00:35:22
	that property? That's why it looks clean because the city cleaned it. And it's also keeps us out of some violating the anti	00:35:29
	donation clause because if we do it for one person and don't charge them, we have to.	00:35:37
	For everybody.	00:35:44
	Do we have a total?	00:35:48
	I don't know right off the top of my head.	00:35:51
	I'm sure it's less than $5000, maybe 5000 at 9000, but I'm pretty sure it's less because we did the labor ourselves. So whatever	00:35:55
	we get paid from the city, we asked them to reimburse us. Kind of similar to the Sands Motel. Yes, Sir, identical. And how's that	00:36:01
	working out? We have the title, we have the deed.	00:36:07
	All in favor.	00:36:16
	Aye, opposed.	00:36:19
	And passes. OK, Madam Mayor.	00:36:21
	I'll make a motion to pass resolution #24-07-23F. The condemning of one or 1100 Sean St.	00:36:26
	That other green property because of the city cleaned it up. Yes, Sir. We don't pursue this then people then the residents will	00:36:38
	have to clean up everybody's property at the expense of the city, which isn't something that probably.	00:36:45
	You know, this is a vacant lot that was overrun with small trees, trees sold regularly and we paid a subcontractor to go in and	00:36:52
	clean them all up. It was becoming a fire hazard.	00:36:59
	We need a second, second, second.	00:37:09
	And there's another problem property right next or two houses down from it that we're working with also.	00:37:16
	Lena, OK, so I just want to let you know that Chris does attempt to contact these property owners and he does, they do get some	00:37:24
	into court and we are at the point where there's no response. So now this is where we take it. We will either get the property	00:37:31
	cleaned and now we're going to try to recoup our funds. But there has been, he has attempted to contact the owners. So there's	00:37:37
	been a lot of documentation.	00:37:44
	There's certified letters.	00:37:50
	Yes. And then if they did get a court summons, the court will say whether they appear. They did not appear.	00:37:54
	So yes, it is documented, Mr. Lamette.	00:38:00
	Posted on the property and advertised it in the newspaper at least once.	00:38:05
	Saying that that property is condemned and there's a lien on that property and X amount of dollars to be paid to the city. And	00:38:11
	then and, and if the owner comes up with that, then they can buy. What if somebody else comes up with it says I want, I'd like	00:38:17
	that property for $5000. But if they say I'll pay it, I don't think that's legal. I don't think that's legal. It has to be, it has	00:38:23
	to be the owner.	00:38:29
	Oh, OK, so the owner is the only one that can reimburse the city at this point in time. We don't, we don't care how we get	00:38:36
	reimbursed, but who reimburses us? But in order for us to remove the lien, we do want our reimbursement. And once the liens in	00:38:42
	place then the title goes is the cities the title does the title go to the city? We don't re title it, but if they ever sell it,	00:38:48
	we'll be if they don't, there's not a mortgage on it will be first in line to get paid.	00:38:55
	Thank you all in favor.	00:39:02
	So can we, can I, can I just request that the feature when we do these if we can get in our packet just kind of yeah, just the	00:39:06
	whole timeline of On this date the letter was sent and this and this and this is the affidavit in your packet.	00:39:13
	Well, we got the, we got the contact where where they were being contacted On this date and this date and this date we haven't	00:39:21
	seen, I didn't see anything for as far as like correspondence.	00:39:27
	Letters, but it does have a timeline of them being. Maybe the total in the future would be helpful too just to understand what I	00:39:35
	think. Photos.	00:39:40
	You know, in public and they're not blind side, right? I mean, they shouldn't be. I mean if you're contacted, you know, but.	00:39:49
	Thank you. Thank you all in favor opposed motion passes make the motion. We pass the special use permit for Hannah Cooper 2nd.	00:39:56

	Special special use permit so I can have food trucks over on the corner of California and spring at the property there.	00:40:28
	So you got a big parking lot All in favor, aye. Opposed.	00:40:36
	Madam Mayor, I'll make a motion pass. Resolution #24-07-23G. The Mexico Department Transportation landscaping, I-25 Exit 147 and	00:40:46
	152nd.	00:40:52
	Question, Donald.	00:41:00
	Madam Mayor, that's the final capital outlay agreement from the state and as Councillor Green said, it's to landscape our exits.	00:41:03
	Oh, OK. That was on our counselor. Dean's been asking for that for years.	00:41:13
	Yeah, all in favor, aye. Opposed.	00:41:20
	OK, author of Animal Control Officer Jason Padilla.	00:41:25
	Jason's got his hands full.	00:41:37
	Being an animal control officer for the City of Socorro. Being an animal control officer for the City of Support.	00:42:01
	Do hereby formally swear that I accept the foregoing appointment. Do you buy here for me? For I accept the.	00:42:08
	That I will support and enforce the ordinances of the City of Socorro, that I will enforce the city ordinances of school. And that	00:42:16
	I will faithfully and that I will faithfully and impartially distract, partially discharge the duties of appointment, the duties	00:42:23
	of appointment to the best of my ability, to the best of my ability. So help me God.	00:42:29
	New business.	00:42:53
	One thing I've got a numerous calls on on Cuba Rd.	00:42:55
	I, I didn't have a chance to drive by after the rain, but Donald, were you guys were to go and look at that and the situation out	00:43:01
	there, if it was worse than before, I myself didn't drive out there either. But if we get another rain like that, I will. I	00:43:07
	usually do because I take pictures to the next CDG application to include them.	00:43:14
	But I didn't make it this time, so the.	00:43:21
	I always thought that the whole curbing and everything that was being done already would make it, I mean wouldn't reduce it, but	00:43:25
	would cleared out quicker and it actually does. But that rain was for so long and so steady, I don't I don't think you could do	00:43:31
	it. But this is a little bit of a side note we reapplied for.	00:43:37
	Additional funding to do the rest of Cuba Rd. So if there's any issues, maybe we can address them when we get the next grant.	00:43:45
	We don't know at all right now at this point if it actually did drain faster than it had been before. The last time I checked it	00:43:53
	took it about and this was probably last summer. I probably took 20 minutes for the drain at the longest because the ground was	00:43:59
	still wet when I drove out there, but it there was no water on the road.	00:44:05
	And we maintain that that ditch or whatever you call it.	00:44:13
	A long mix St. and back street and stuff. Yes ma'am, that's ours. As well as what used to be Markling Road off of Cuba Rd. which	00:44:18
	we turn into a whole new pond.	00:44:24
	OK. But yes, it's our responsibility to maintain them all throughout the city.	00:44:30
	All business and still no business, Madam Mayor, I'm going to reach out at a constituent, reach out about prior to all this rain	00:44:37
	and there's an area right behind Cottonwood School.	00:44:43
	There's like a little bit the little valley in the road there and it's supposed to be run off and it looks like the concrete	00:44:50
	trucks are washing out concrete there.	00:44:55
	And it's blocking water and it's pulling there's going back out. It's creating a pool in the road. So and it's get with the basket	00:45:01
	when he was in town. I I forgot to. So I just like to mention to the council maybe can get ahold of he got some Lloyds department	00:45:09
	potentially. Yes, I did get a complaint on that also on and Lloyd went out there and and they were going to clean that.	00:45:16
	Maybe make contact with whoever was doing. I think there's some yeah. I don't, I I never found out from Lloyd who was actually	00:45:24
	dumping the concrete, but.	00:45:28
	It was a lot of contracts in council.	00:45:32
	Blame anybody, but thank you. Any other new business? No, I just wanted to say how nice things went for the wrestling event. I	00:45:36
	guess it was really nice.	00:45:41
	Yeah, sure. That was does our 5th, 5th annual tournament. It's rodeo theme that's all themed around the city of Socorro. The logo	00:45:51
	was done for us years ago with a wrestling mat underneath the city truck Campos Socorro logos. And if you'll notice when we use	00:45:57
	it, it has like, I don't know if anybody notices it, but it's a wrestling mat. It's actually underneath that starting lines and	00:46:04
	they got great big banners up there and table covers and all.	00:46:11
	Are geared towards.	00:46:18
	And they're geared towards the rodeo theme there belt buckles. We can weigh belt buckles and cowboy hats and.	00:46:22
	Pins and Cowboys roping animals if you get a pin in a match and that's a pretty unique tournament. We had a nice turn out. We had	00:46:29
	over 800 wrestlers between the two days.	00:46:34
	The Steve and Darrell and the staff up there were great. They're phenomenal. They they helped with everything. Anything we asked	00:46:42
	them to do, it's late. It's a weird tournament because really hot this time of year. So we do it late. We start like away in at	00:46:48
	4:30 in the afternoon, which is typically at 7:00 in the morning.	00:46:54
	Start at 4:30 and we start wrestling at 7. Sun starts to go down and it was raining like crazy up there, but the the facility held	00:47:00
	up the winds. The hardest game for us up there. It's not really the rain. The rain was. It was nice, people liked it, a lot of	00:47:06
	compliments, no complaints. I'm looking forward to the new sound system up there because that was a little a little spotty, but we	00:47:11
	worked with it.	00:47:16
	Overall, I think we've seen a lot of influx of a lot of people in town and upcoming score for us and RV park was busy.	00:47:22
	I don't know exactly the numbers are imagine Steven. No, but it was good that the Mississippi was great. They were busy, really	00:47:29
	busy on the second night. So thank you to them too. They showed up. They did a great job taking care of the kids there. So that's	00:47:35
	a great event. Thanks for the council. That was the first time you'll see on the voucher and we asked for some lodgers tax. We had	00:47:42
	never asked for that before to try to help really bolster the.	00:47:48
	We spent quite a bit of money on awards to really bolster the awards that we met with the mayor so we can really keep the soccer	00:47:54
	logo and everything on it and.	00:47:59
	Oh, man, in my third match, I wrestled a kid from, I think, I think one of them said New Jersey or something. A kid from New	00:48:33
	Jersey came down, whole family came down South. I think the bigger it gets, Florida, quite a bit wrestling people are. They're not	00:48:39
	saying no. They'll come and they'll go anywhere. If there's a good tournament, good competition, they'll go. Yeah, sorry. One	00:48:46
	more. This is a question when, when is the rest of the medal going to be going up there?	00:48:52
	At the arena, at the arena, they're working on it right now.	00:49:00
	Working on it as we're speaking online at night, but but they started about two weeks ago and then they stopped for three weeks	00:49:04
	ago and they stopped for the 4th of July this and they should be going again. I'll drive out there tomorrow too. They're welding	00:49:10
	purlings on the West side of it right now, so they should help with the wind quite a bit. Yeah, I think so. I don't know. We'll	00:49:16
	see. It'll be interesting. We're hoping that it does.	00:49:22
	But what we're worried about is Mr. Fleming kidney test. Mr. Fleming can attest this is that it's going to force the wind to the	00:49:29
	now the smaller open part of the arena and as he said, creative vortex. It could, but.	00:49:35
	If it does, well, make another adjustment.	00:49:43
	I have first was I was like all in for the completing of the arena completely in. But when you sit in the stands and you look up	00:49:47
	there, the site that you get to see is really pretty. So it's unique. It's very different for, you know, we sit in gyms all day	00:49:53
	long, buildings all day long. So it's unique. I'm not saying that's the only thing that goes on a thing, but for just for my event	00:49:58
	from our perspective, it's really cool. I mean, even when we battle a little bit of wind, we made some adjustments. We got first	00:50:04
	tape and we put it on the mat.	00:50:10
	Because we've had where the maps flip up because the wind gets under, we don't have that at all this year. We completely Turkey	00:50:16
	rain. And so it's good, you know, hopefully it does cut down on it, but if you maybe could do a winter event if there's heaters.	00:50:22
	We didn't want to block that view, that's why we didn't do the east side.	00:50:29
	Makes sense?	00:50:35
	Or business.	00:50:36
