I was saying that they need that they should be getting this. 00:00:00
Yeah, there you go. 00:00:05
OK, well. 00:00:08

Councillor Partridge here. 00:00:24
Romero, Yeah. 00:00:26
Counter Salome. 00:00:27
Here have a quorum. 00:00:28
I pledge allegiance to. 00:00:33
The flag of the United States of America. 00:00:35
And to the public for which it stands. 00:00:38
One nation under God. 00:00:41
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:43
Mr. 00:00:54
Make a motion. 00:00:55
Consent agenda second. 00:00:57
Move to 2nd discussion. 00:00:59
All in favor. 00:01:00
Nobody wants to gripe today. 00:01:02
OK. Longevity stipend? 00:01:08
D Because the Council and the Mayor have been very generous with. 00:01:10
Raters over the last few years, but then the budget cycle this year. 00:01:14
It was determined that. 00:01:18
Annual raises will be held off until January. 00:01:20
Well, our grocery seats have. 00:01:24
Kind of leveled out. 00:01:26
So we're probably not going to be able to. 00:01:28
Annual increases in January. 00:01:32
And this is a. 00:01:35
A statement that much like we did with the Police Department and the fire department during COVID. 00:01:36
It is to. 00:01:42
Thank our employees for sticking with us through. 00:01:43
Thick and thin. 00:01:46
Yeah, it looks like we're about. 00:01:48
400,000. 00:01:51
Yes, Sir. So Mr. Romero. 00:01:53
Move to approve the. 00:01:56
Longevity stipend. 00:01:57
I second. 00:01:59
To move the 2nd and how much is that? 00:02:00
Roughly, roughly it's probably going to cost about 70,000 if we have 120 full time employees and. 00:02:04
40 part time employees, you're looking at 70,000. 00:02:10
But how much do they get? 00:02:13
500 to full time and 2:50 to part time. 00:02:15
How many full time? 00:02:19
It's I'm guessing off the top of my head, but it's approximately 120. This is the top of Christie's head. 00:02:21
152 full time and 25 part time. 00:02:27
Thank you, Christian. 00:02:30
Thank you. 00:02:31
I wanted to just. 00:02:33
I think it's 250 per student and temp. 00:02:36
But if you're permanent. 00:02:39
And then student and. 00:02:45
How about city councilors and the mayor? 00:02:50
I forgot it's not the county. 00:02:55
I'm sorry. 00:02:57
All in favor. 00:03:01
We got a. 00:03:05
Anything that will happen in this town lately? 00:03:08
Mr. Mayor. 00:03:11
Whole couple, yeah, I just want to, I know we'll have another opportunity to announce it. 00:03:12
But first of all, to say thank you to the city for supporting the food drive. Again, the hot meals. 00:03:17
Did it for so many years and. 00:03:22
Believe it or not, we're in Year 6. 00:03:24
So I think we're 56 years. 00:03:27
Old for the Christmas food drive. 00:03:29
So thank you to the mayor and the council and the city for always being there to support it. 00:03:31
All these years, really appreciate it. 00:03:35
And just want to let everybody know it's first come, first serve. 00:03:37
On December the 20th. 00:03:41
Saturday, December the 20th. 00:03:44
Behind San Miguel Parish, drive up, we'll load them up. 00:03:46
And you know, and another special thank you to our. 00:03:50
To Angel Garcia and the Socorro Police Department, because they do a great job getting. 00:03:54
All the kids little gifts as well. 00:03:58
So. 00:04:01
Yep, anybody can drive up that's in need. 00:04:02
Between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon. 00:04:05
And if they cannot make that, they can get a hold of. 00:04:07
Myself and uh. 00:04:10
State Farm. 00:04:12
And we can deliver them as well. 00:04:12
On December the 20th Saturday. 00:04:15

Thank you, we're blessed to do it. 00:04:29
The other stuff that we're having a. 00:04:32
Well, they call it a pub crow. 00:04:35
Not a pub crawl. 00:04:39
No, OK. 00:04:40
So we have the holiday Light parade that's going to be happening on Saturday. 00:04:42
That'll start at 6:00. We have a ton of people signed up to be in the parade, so it should be a very good parade. A lot of people 00:04:49
are super excited about it, ready to get their floats out there. 00:04:53
The fire department's also having their mithuna that day. That'll kick off at 4:00. You can get a ticket from one of your fire 00:04:58
department. 00:05:01
Firefighters. 00:05:04

Purchase the ticket there. 00:05:09
Did you hear that? You. 00:05:11

After the parade and all that, we have the Illuminati stroll on the Plaza and so most of the. 00:05:22
Businesses on the Plaza are participating. They're going to have artists or musicians in all of their businesses, and they'll be. 00:05:28
Selling stuff and giving stuff out and. 00:05:34
Just making it a great night for everybody. 00:05:37

Cranes, they are still continuing with the. 00:05:58
Arts and crafts were at the Opera House. 00:06:01

Yeah, we have seen still a little increase in tourism. We're still seeing travelers that are coming through even though festival 00:06:38
wasn't a thing this year. We are still still seeing an increase in tourism. 00:06:43
So that's good people are still coming to see. Well, we took a hit with the. 00:06:48
Trinity site closing. 00:06:52

Those those are two big nights. 00:06:55

Bigger and better. 00:07:04

Thanking the city for being supporting it all the time. 00:07:08
So that was good. 00:07:12

Last week could you give us AI mean I I'm just still. 00:07:28
Just devastated by how this happened and. 00:07:32
Tell us some of the other things that my people have been asking me. 00:07:36
What about the people that were there? 00:07:39
They're either suspects or witnesses. 00:07:43
And they're being dealt with that way. 00:07:45
A lot of good footage from. 00:07:48
Surveillance and. 00:07:50
Statements from other people have come in SO. 00:07:51
We have turned that over to state police. They are. 00:07:54
Continuing working on that. 00:07:56
Individuals located in Magdalena. 00:07:58
It was one of our officers gave him a tip of where. 00:08:01
He was at. 00:08:04
And they were able to make a plan and go up there and pick them up. 00:08:05
Thank you guys, did a great job in getting it done. 00:08:09
Thank you. 00:08:11
And the state police, we thank them for. 00:08:12
Showing up in force and taking care of this. 00:08:14
Yes, but we're still concerned. 00:08:17
About the number of guns and. 00:08:20
People that have. 00:08:22
Different motives. 00:08:24
Yep, in this community. 00:08:25
Same with us. I mean, we, we deal with these guys. I mean just on. 00:08:27
Two days before we. 00:08:30
We stopped the individual, yeah. 00:08:31
Have an AR15 walking down the roadway but. 00:08:33
Not much you can do with the Second Amendment rights and right to bear arms and everything else. 00:08:37
It is a. 00:08:42
Unfortunate. 00:08:43
But it's happening more and more. 00:08:44
And you know. 00:08:47
Keep your eyes spilled and if you see anything that doesn't seem right, please give us. 00:08:50
And then the family of the person that was killed. 00:08:55
If there's anything that the public can do to help, I think. 00:08:57
They have a go fund me page for their. 00:09:00
Funeral expenses, and I'm not sure exactly what's going on with that. 00:09:03
But I can give you some more. 00:09:07
Information on that after. 00:09:09
Just so the public if they can help. 00:09:11

New Mexico tech is going to be. 00:10:11
In front of the Mataza selling little. 00:10:13

So that's that's cool. 00:10:22
Any other new business? 00:10:25
Any requests from people that would like to have? 00:10:27
Something done that we have not. 00:10:30
It's accomplished. We've got. 00:10:32
Projects going on. 00:10:35
That we're still. 00:10:37
Waiting to finish and. 00:10:38
Cuba Rd. is 1. 00:10:40
We're still trying to get that. 00:10:42
On track. 00:10:43
We've got. 00:10:45
Good relations with the Co-op. 00:10:48
We're meeting regularly. 00:10:50
For solar projects and. 00:10:52
Even geothermal projects. 00:10:55
And we might be bringing you a. 00:10:57
A proposal to have a geothermal project on city property. 00:11:00
So that's that's coming up. 00:11:04
And they helped us with the lights and everything which. 00:11:06
A refreshing change. 00:11:10

And to your apartments, I mean this. 00:11:47
