	All right.	00:00:00
	9:00 to 1:00.	00:00:04
	It's the City of City Council meeting Tuesday, June 17th, 2025. Roll call please. Mayor Baskar.	00:00:07
	Councillor Travis Lopez here.	00:00:13
	Councillor Dean.	00:00:16
	Councillor Fleming.	00:00:17
	Councillor Olcanpo here.	00:00:19
	Counselor Rogaine.	00:00:21
	Councillor Partridge.	00:00:23
	Councillor Romero here, Councillor Salome here. We have a quorum.	00:00:25
	Mr. Lanell, I move. We approve the.	00:00:31
	Consent agenda as presented today.	00:00:34
	OK, the second discussion.	00:00:37
	All in favor.	00:00:40
	OK, public forum.	00:00:42
	Everybody, I'm OK.	00:00:53
	Yeah, my name, Dennis said there. And I live.	00:00:55
	On 605 Colson Drive.	00:00:58
	And right there at El Camino Real and Coulson.	00:01:01
	And my issue I have is.	00:01:05
	I have.	00:01:08
	Flooding every time it rains hard up in the area.	00:01:09
	West of there so and now they're building more and more.	00:01:14
	You know, houses and so that.	00:01:18
	Causes more. There's going to be more roofs. There's going to be.	00:01:21
	More cement sidewalks and driveways.	00:01:25
	So that flooding and getting a little worse and.	00:01:29
	That pipe is only a 12 inch pipe.	00:01:32
	And when they first put that in?	00:01:35
	I guess they didn't realize.	00:01:37
	You know how much?	00:01:39
	How many houses were going to go up in that area?	00:01:41
	So now I have an issue of.	00:01:44
	Every time we get a good rain, water backs into my garage.	00:01:48
	And.	00:01:52
	Once it was about half an inch.	00:01:54
	Before it came into my actual house.	00:01:57
	So, uh.	00:02:01
	Is that right by Robert? How to mails across the street from across the street on the north side?	00:02:03
	That holding pond doesn't hold anything at all or.	00:02:09
	That water from your place doesn't.	00:02:11
	It holds water, but the pipe that drains out of there, there's not big enough. OK. And the pipe comes out of a storm drain there?	00:02:14
	No, the pipe goes underneath El Camino Real.	00:02:20
	From I'll have Lloyd look at it.	00:02:29
	Let me get, let me.	00:02:32
	What do you recommend? He can't do nothing.	00:02:35
	Doctor recommendations he had Well no, but I mean but that 12 inch drain pipe.	00:02:39
	Where did it drain from?	00:02:45
	It it it just.	00:02:47
	It drains out of the pond.	00:02:50
	You know it.	00:02:53
	Towards the top of the pond, but it drains onto the road or it drains across the street into the field there.	00:02:55
	An empty and so the pond gets too full and can't take any more water from your place.	00:03:02
	OK, so let me we'll work on. We'll work on that. Let me get the.	00:03:11
	Backward, Lloyd and see.	00:03:16
	Because the discharge of that pawn.	00:03:17
	And to somebody else's property might be a problem, but.	00:03:21
	So we can discharge it on the road and let it drain down. But let me talk to Lloyd.	00:03:24
	Guy what? He came over and Danny came over to.	00:03:28
	Monette so.	00:03:33
	Donald.	00:03:36
	Well, I mean, Donald, yeah.	00:03:37
	He's the way. This week I'll get on the first thing.	00:03:40
	I'll work on it tomorrow with Lloyd.	00:03:44
	O'Donnell will be back on Monday. Yeah, because I, I mean, I worked at.	00:03:45
	For Fish and Wildlife, 35 years.	00:03:50
	And I put in a lot of drain pipes and inlets and outflows.	00:03:53
	And I just by my experience, I don't.	00:04:00
	That that pipe is not big enough.	00:04:04
	So you think increasing the size of the pipe with a bigger culvert right to fix the problem that's.	00:04:06
	Right now that's the problem. And then the type style of the pipe too.	00:04:13
	So they make different styles of pipes.	00:04:19
	So, uh.	00:04:22
	Anyway that that's one issue that you know I want to bring up tonight.	00:04:23
	And then there was another thing I have is not an issue but.	00:04:29
	I lost my son.	00:04:37
	Philip about a year ago now.	00:04:39
	He was in the army.	00:04:44
	20 years.	00:04:46
	And June 10th of this year would have been 21 years.	00:04:48
	Then he would have retired.	00:04:52
	Then, but he lost his.	00:04:55
	He did his tour in Iraq, Afghanistan.	00:04:58
	And then came home and passed away here.	00:05:01
	In the States while he was still in the Army.	00:05:05
	And I was wondering.	00:05:08
	If there's a way.	00:05:10
	To put something.	00:05:13
	At what do you call it at the Veterans Park?	00:05:17
	Sure.	00:05:21
	Let me look into that.	00:05:24
	Can you give me a little background on him? Can you write something up for me? Yeah, I can do that. Just just kind of his service	00:05:25
	and.	00:05:29
	And his.	00:05:33
	Full name and everything, a rank and just so you can drop it off. Yeah, Lena.	00:05:34
	OK. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.	00:05:40
	OK, I'm sorry. Sorry about that. Yeah, well, it's.	00:05:43
	Rough, but yeah.	00:05:47
	And I guess that's that's all I have right now, so.	00:05:52
	No, thanks. And so I'll get back with you in the flooding and.	00:05:56
	If you leave us a little bit of a remembrance about him.	00:05:58
	Understand if you have a photograph.	00:06:02
	Yeah, we could do that, OK. We might even do a little proclamation so we can do that, OK.	00:06:03
	Thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank you for coming.	00:06:09
	Anyone else?	00:06:16
	OK, Samantha Winter wants bicycle racks.	00:06:19
	At Don Juan's.	00:06:24
	CS OK.	00:06:27
	Thank you all the bike racks.	00:06:45
	Thank you.	00:06:52
	After I plot the step. I'm sorry.	00:06:58
	So all the bike racks have been generated.	00:07:02
	So we worked with the Ganglion Welding Club. They were able to get those all made for us. We did have to get pushed back in the	00:07:06
	timeline a little bit. Getting metal out there was was kind of hard this year.	00:07:11
	So we were able to get them all the pipe, get them all the steel, get everything welded up and painted. We actually were able to	00:07:16
	get 17 bike racks and settle the proposed 15. They threw in two extras for us.	00:07:21
	One actually didn't have that great of attack Weld job so more like one extra bike rack get 16.	00:07:26
	They're all at this point, all but four have been installed.	00:07:32
	They're in a variety of locations kind of across the county. We got some at the limit, our truck stop with the monkey farm stand a	00:07:36
	bunch up in Magdalena.	00:07:40
	But we would like to install some at Don Juan.	00:07:44
	That that main, main drag kind of right in front. And then Melissa at the Loma has also requested one if possible.	00:07:48
	With the other one.	00:07:55
	The Loma at the Loma Theater right across from it, they would also like one. But with the new sidewalk, there was some concern. We	00:07:57
	were talking to the building owner and he was like, well, the sidewalk city property and with it being new.	00:08:03
	He's like, well that's the city, so we'd like to see if it'd be possible to install some bike racks there.	00:08:09
	I've had nothing but grief on that Muzzin Harris project.	00:08:15
	I just, I just tell you, I just tell you that in public.	00:08:19
	So putting those bike racks there.	00:08:23
	If it's going to be the straw that broke my back.	00:08:27
	I just want to make sure.	00:08:31
	That they're they're.	00:08:33
	Because like I'm just telling you and I don't blame them. I know knock their business down. I know it changed some of the things	00:08:35
	there, but.	00:08:38
	We had to get that project done.	00:08:43
	But adding another.	00:08:45
	I won't say obstacle, but.	00:08:47
	Adding one obstacle on each side.	00:08:50
	I gotta have their 100%.	00:08:53
	Guarantee that they're not going to be **** * at me if we're doing it.	00:08:56
	That's just simple.	00:09:00
	And I'm all for the buy. You got one of the veterans store.	00:09:02
	You got him like this. Great.	00:09:06
	I'm just telling you on those two, that's why I hadn't responded to you.	00:09:08
	Is that?	00:09:12
	I just have gotten.	00:09:13
	And I'm still have a thwart act against me, a tort claim.	00:09:16
	So I you know.	00:09:19
	But that's that's my story. Yeah, sticking to it. That's but but what other places you got for you said, what about the other	00:09:22
	people? We're trying to get one also at Baca House. Baca House is requesting 1. The only gallons I would Baca House is they've got	00:09:27
	the bricks.	00:09:31
	Or a sidewalk. So we're trying to figure out like actual mounting because how these are designed is to deal with basically	00:09:36
	concrete bolts, just concrete set in.	00:09:39
	Screws. So we're trying to figure out basically the risks. They're sidewalk with the brick. We don't, we don't want to damage	00:09:43
	their sidewalk. So that's the other place that we've been working out.	00:09:48
	And then Box King and Brewing also would like one, but they're all asphalt.	00:09:53
	So we're also trying to figure out a good way to actually install those.	00:09:57
	So those are the other two that are sitting.	00:10:00
	Unclaimed.	00:10:03
	What about the coop? Is there one out there?	00:10:04
	Basically essentially on man's nearest path.	00:10:10
	The corner right there.	00:10:13
	Now, the P30, the dispensary right there, there's nothing past that.	00:10:16
	On that, on that street, on those in ours, have you spoken to the two businesses, Loma done ones we have and they and the business	00:10:21
	owners?	00:10:26
	Are up for it and so I can definitely get something in writing from them. Buildings.	00:10:30
	I'm trying to think of his name. That's why that's who I want. Thank you. I know who does, but I'm just saying.	00:10:36
	I don't understand any names, but I would like that in writing from them. OK, I can get something for. Yeah. He said that	00:10:41
	basically that the sidewalk has become city property, and he said he wasn't going to.	00:10:46
	Gonna touch it within with the new sidewalks and stuff like that.	00:10:52
	So I can keep you willing to stop.	00:10:55
	But see if you'd be willing to do something in writing and get that with that.	00:10:59
	Yeah, you're doing a great job. Thank you. What's your next project?	00:11:04
	We've got like a million projects, I'm not gonna lie. So one project that we're kind of working on with actually part of Seguro is	00:11:09
	spokes.	00:11:12
	It's the community bike shop that's their fire in that in the folders that opened up.	00:11:15
	On Monday night, Monday night we had our soft opening.	00:11:20
	For that we're trying to get.	00:11:23
	Somebody who can actually run the bike shop for us during the day.	00:11:24
	Because we are trying to expand that into being a drop off bike program where we actually donate bikes. We even fixed up and then	00:11:28
	donate back to the community for anybody who needs alternative transportation.	00:11:32
	And then we're still expanding the youth programs. So we have a youth drop in, drop in hours now two days a week during the	00:11:37
	summer.	00:11:41
	We've expanded the five hours now we had to split to two days. It just got too big. So we have two days now on Tuesdays and	00:11:44
	Thursdays.	00:11:47
	Umm, we've got a grief kit going out. That's our other big project. We're working with the schools to do bereavement kits,	00:11:51
	especially for children who've lost loved ones, either to overdose or suicide.	00:11:56
	So we've got those out. Those have been a huge hit. We've already dispensed 25 of those and we just started those in.	00:12:02
	January.	00:12:08
	And then we've got we've got the Wellness Wednesday movie still going on. We've got we're starting family game nights.	00:12:10
	On Saturday nights, it'll be the last Saturday of the month.	00:12:16
	They'll be in the office. We're going to have Aaron from World Tree Comics. He's going to come in and teach how to play like Magic	00:12:19
	Gathering and stuff like that and just have like a family gathering center.	00:12:24
	Then we've got more suicide prevention trainings coming in.	00:12:30
	We now offer youth mental health first aid, mental health first aid.	00:12:33
	QPR.	00:12:36
	And then we've got some trauma informed training as well.	00:12:38
	The two that we've been offering is the everyone can be trauma informed as well as the trauma informed for community helpers. And	00:12:42
	then we also have emotional CPR coming in the fall.	00:12:47
	Good job.	00:12:53
	We've got a you know, there's a program that heart start.	00:12:55
	Across the State is doing a CPR project.	00:12:58
	Was it June 27th?	00:13:01
	June 28th of the Convention Center.	00:13:03
	So we're inviting the whole all the public to come and get certified. They're doing that in in Jacksonville University Medical	00:13:06
	School.	00:13:10
	No, they don't get certified. Oh.	00:13:17
	The CPR class.	00:13:20
	And we can actually, we can actually promote that as well because we've actually been offering, we've partnered with the.	00:13:22
	The village of Angelina as well, one of their volunteers, the volunteering fire department, he does CPR certification. So we've	00:13:27
	actually been kind of very.	00:13:30
	Limited basis offering some out of the office as well. So I'd love to promote this one as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.	00:13:34
	We'll get you a flower for that.	00:13:40
	And then the other thing is that bicycle shop.	00:13:42
	Do we have any high school students leftover that might want to?	00:13:46
	Christian that might. We could if you need more.	00:13:49
	Help. Maybe for the summer anyway. Yeah, that would actually, that would actually be great because if any of the high school kids	00:13:52
	might be interested in.	00:13:55
	Working at the shop.	00:14:00
	It was right behind the thrift store. The personal thrift store right here in California is the old frame shop.	00:14:02
	There's the like ramp going up to it. It's in that unit.	00:14:08
	Mr. Parton.	00:14:13
	Reached out to me about.	00:14:15
	Bike maybe? I was trying to get clarification on it. So you donated Scope donated.	00:14:17
	Bike rack holder. Yeah, yeah, a bike repair stand.	00:14:24
	I called Donald, I think I missed Polo him or I were out one of the two.	00:14:30
	I and as you, you were hoping to get potentially get that back.	00:14:35
	To use app that yeah, yeah, that was never hope. Since it hasn't been installed yet, we were kind of wondering if either a the	00:14:40
	city can install it a little bit closer to the bike shop.	00:14:45
	Or even if we could just install it in the bike shop. So it's a standalone bike repair stand. We've actually.	00:14:50
	I don't know if y'all been up to Magdalena recently. There's ours and Magdalena set out right outside the steer stop so it's a	00:14:57
	it's not too big about yay tall. It's got a mount where you hang the bike on, It's got a pump.	00:15:02
	And like a little wrench set and things like that. It's not too, it's not too big.	00:15:07
	But we were hoping either a we could basically reutilize that over in the bike shop or even install it near the bike shop.	00:15:12
	Is that impossible? We have it.	00:15:18
	But I would like.	00:15:20
	Still, has it or not? It's been it's been a it's been a hot minute. I'm not gonna lie. If we.	00:15:23
	Yeah.	00:15:30
	And all that, but I'll look into it. We'll look into that.	00:15:32
	But as far as maybe getting a?	00:15:35
	Maybe getting some help at the shop?	00:15:37
	Maybe there's kids to learn about.	00:15:40
	Taking care of a bicycle? Yeah, that'd be great.	00:15:42
	Thank you for your presentation and I'll get back with you on the bike rack I need.	00:15:47
	I'm going to need a written thing from the.	00:15:51
	I'll definitely see the owners of the building.	00:15:54
	And then if I get something written from him, would.	00:15:57
	Would you all need to install that or we have a volunteer, His name's Edgar. He's one of the veterans who's been installing those	00:16:00
	for us. Would he install that?	00:16:04
	Yeah, we've got like a hammer drill and then this little basically.	00:16:10
	Things of cement tube that we put in and stuff like that.	00:16:18
	That's a good job. Thank you. Thank you, Thank you.	00:16:22
	OK, we're going to do have an election pretty soon, I guess.	00:16:28
	Hello. What's that all about?	00:16:32
	Municipal election action resolution #25-06-17A.	00:16:34
	The state requires us to have this resolution for our upcoming election. We have.	00:16:40
	4 councillors and a municipal judge running.	00:16:46
	This year, then, we'll be and.	00:16:49
	September. Is it snowing in October? November. I'm sorry, November 4th.	00:16:54
	Selection came came came first November.	00:17:01
	So Mr. Again I have a question on this. So the resolution, it still has the wards. I thought it was moved to the at large.	00:17:05
	At last election.	00:17:14
	At the last election it says that large at the beginning on.	00:17:17
	Isn't the top four vote getters. Is the top four vote getters, and so it shouldn't be by word.	00:17:22
	Shouldn't be people opposing themselves, it should be just.	00:17:27
	The top 4 Volt gutters is what we've had.	00:17:31
	OK, we can now.	00:17:34
	We're not. We could just get rid of the words off of that.	00:17:35
	We're not.	00:17:39
	Mr. Partridge.	00:17:42
	Is there a school of murders going to?	00:17:47
	What is that over 10,000?	00:17:51
	Now we're at what, 9?	00:17:55
	Eight. Well, eight or nine right now.	00:17:56
	9/9.	00:17:59
	That's when you get over 10,000.	00:18:01
	You also lose what they call the small cities of.	00:18:04
	Money, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars.	00:18:07
	We're never we're AT-90008980900.	00:18:10
	I believe, I believe when we used to have it at Ward one, Ward 2.	00:18:15
	When a person could go in and say well I want to run in Court One and then and that's it's all completely at large now, so.	00:18:20
	So we do have to postpone this on until the next one and change the resolution because the resolution still says words. I can I	00:18:30
	can just change the reading of the resolution and then.	00:18:35
	Yeah, because I was the last one on the last.	00:18:41
	The last resolution do guys I need I need this.	00:18:44
	Asked before.	00:18:48
	Our next meeting be too late, I need to get over the county clerk so.	00:18:51
	Just to order up an amendment saying that we should.	00:18:55
	These electors are at large and there's no no wards.	00:18:59
	I'll just delete. I'll just delete the words off of that.	00:19:04
	Or there was. How was the last one read the last election the last one?	00:19:07
	It was just like this actually, so.	00:19:12
	There was.	00:19:15
	The dollar was changed.	00:19:20
	So but but but.	00:19:23
	But that's that's fine, I can I can just delete.	00:19:24
	The wards off.	00:19:28
	And just leave it for your turn.	00:19:30
	On each one of them.	00:19:32
	Mr. Mayor, it seems that when a municipality has their own elections.	00:19:34
	That they don't have to go by the at large election process.	00:19:41
	When we decided to go with the timing of the county elections.	00:19:46
	Is when?	00:19:51
	The uh.	00:19:52
	The type of election.	00:19:54
	Changed so that was before me in years past.	00:19:56
	They were always requesting that the city of Socorro do these at large elections.	00:20:00
	But the city had their own municipal election.	00:20:06
	And decided to do it by war.	00:20:10
	And in fact.	00:20:12
	This last election.	00:20:14
	There was and I think I think I'm pretty accurate there was.	00:20:17
	There was 5000 votes and the mayor's for the mayor.	00:20:22
	Election total votes.	00:20:27
	And there was a total number of votes for.	00:20:29
	The at large counselors.	00:20:32
	Was 2300.	00:20:35
	So there was 2700 votes.	00:20:39
	That were cast for the.	00:20:42
	That will not cast.	00:20:45
	For the counselors.	00:20:47
	So people had their.	00:20:50
	The ballot in front of them.	00:20:52
	People had a pencil in their hand. They cast a vote for the mayor.	00:20:54
	And they?	00:20:59
	2700 or 2500 chosen to not cast their total number of eligible votes.	00:21:01
	OK, So what happened is that?	00:21:09
	In my opinion.	00:21:12
	The integrity.	00:21:14
	Of the election.	00:21:15
	Was.	00:21:17
	Was lowered.	00:21:18
	Because, in fact, people didn't cast their vote.	00:21:20
	Because.	00:21:25
	To be quite blunt and quite honest.	00:21:25
	If I was to submit a vote for myself as.	00:21:28
	A person that's running for one of the wards.	00:21:35
	And then and I have three more votes to submit.	00:21:38
	And I and I chose to submit a vote for Mr. Fleming, for example, who I believe.	00:21:42
	Was a good counselor and needs to have.	00:21:49
	Support.	00:21:52
	I could actually lose my election.	00:21:54
	Because from my own vote.	00:21:58
	You see that that's what happened.	00:22:00
	Last time because I said.	00:22:02
	Vote for the mayor.	00:22:04
	And for the counselors?	00:22:06
	And I don't believe a lot of people.	00:22:09
	Voted for the floor. They just maybe 1 or maybe none.	00:22:13
	So and that when that law changed because by Ward.	00:22:18
	Say if Anton was running, he'd go and say I want to run in Ward 1, so he would.	00:22:22
	And everybody would pick their spot and then.	00:22:28
	Other people would go in and say I want to run a good Santone or I want to run against Damien or whatever, so.	00:22:32
	So that that.	00:22:37
	Took away that and they had to run completely at large.	00:22:38
	So when it said you have to vote for four, I don't think a lot of people understood that and they did well, you know, you don't	00:22:42
	have to vote for four.	00:22:46
	No, you don't have to. You could just vote for one. Yes. And and the prudent thing to do is that you're playing the numbers game.	00:22:50
	Is to have you and your and the people that support you.	00:22:57
	Vote for one.	00:23:01
	Because a vote for another person you believe that you want to support.	00:23:03
	You. You can't.	00:23:09
	So the integrity of the election.	00:23:11
	Is diminished, in my opinion, due to that fact. Now you got to use strategies. Well, there's. Yeah, I don't know about strategy.	00:23:14
	Yeah. Well, you know, I, I don't know.	00:23:18
	That's that's just for the record. I voted against that.	00:23:23
	That's the one when you know, that was it. We had nothing to do with that. That was that came down because we we changed. We	00:23:26
	changed it to go to the county, to have the county run the election and change it to November.	00:23:32
	The state, the state changed the law to do it to be at large. The council had no decision on making that large.	00:23:37
	We believe that I think the election would be done with the county and the governor and executive this and that if there would be	00:23:44
	more participation. So you're looking to have more people vote.	00:23:50
	But the rule was left. But the rules were changed the minute that the council voted to go on the November election.	00:23:56
	Head of the March.	00:24:03
	We did the March, we changed it to November 1st and then it was right before the last election that Donald sent out the themes in	00:24:05
	the state, changed the law.	00:24:09
	Because the first election that we had going to November.	00:24:12
	That was our race. No, No, but we were.	00:24:15
	Doomed to accept their laws, whatever they the state decide. Whatever the state decided. That's why I wanted to stay in March, Mr.	00:24:20
	Ocampo.	00:24:23
	I just, I would, I didn't really understand it, I don't think. And we've talked about that, talk to people that have come in the	00:24:27
	office just about and how you can manipulate the system and.	00:24:32
	I just, I don't know about all that. I just, I think it's kind of unamerican just to not.	00:24:37
	Not say, hey, I think I can do a better job and so and so, I think I can serve people better than so and so and I'm gonna run for	00:24:42
	that war.	00:24:46
	I think that I should be.	00:24:50
	That representative.	00:24:52
	And instead you don't even know who you're running against. And can you revert back Polo?	00:24:54
	To the old system.	00:25:01
	I mean, I'm not saying this election.	00:25:03
	Yeah.	00:25:06
	Because it saved us like 25,000. That was the whole ticket.	00:25:07
	But when we had that, when we had that discussion.	00:25:11
	About going to the November system.	00:25:14
	Rather than the March that we did our own.	00:25:16
	Then we were kind of.	00:25:19
	Have to go with what the state said.	00:25:22
	And so I'm not sure whether there's a chance to revert back to March. The council would have to decide, but I mean, that's another	00:25:25
	discussion. But I'm just.	00:25:29
	Maybe we should look into it if you guys are interested.	00:25:34
	How far does the words before that though? Because whenever I was looking into it like.	00:25:37
	So if it was Ward One, they were arbitrary.	00:25:43
	Those ones were arbitrary.	00:25:46
	They didn't represent a certain area. Yeah, no, it was no.	00:25:50
	But once you get over 10,000.	00:25:53
	Then the council. I was just reading that just now. The council then.	00:25:55
	Besides, to make the ward, you know.	00:26:00
	That's where gerrymandering came in.	00:26:04
	Whether you how you make the words.	00:26:06
	And the council decides to divide the city out once you get past 10 lbs.	00:26:09
	Yeah, but right now we're at large, which Mr. Ogden pointed out. We need to make sure we're right.	00:26:14
	So I just.	00:26:21
	I'll just diddly find the old one from the last resolution that we did in 2023, but I can't. I don't see.	00:26:23
	Despite a run.	00:26:32
	And with the at large system, because I think last election was the first time that happened.	00:26:34
	Correct. But I think it came out kind of late and people were unaware of it because there was I think now that they did the	00:26:39
	election, we'll see what it looks like. I believe it's the last election. We had already done the the resolution that the change	00:26:44
	and then just when.	00:26:49
	Really. We found out about all the new laws. I think we knew about the new laws. It just.	00:26:54
	Just came out and then everybody wanted to go and pick a award and and it wasn't that way so.	00:27:00
	So will somebody make a motion? What are we going to make a motion to make sure it reads right, I mean.	00:27:05
	Make a motion to accept the resolution and we can do an amendment to it.	00:27:13
	Right. Well with the amendment wouldn't be in time to change you got to turn it in right if you do an amendment if you could just.	00:27:18
	Make a motion to.	00:27:24
	Accept the resolution.	00:27:27
	Without the words on there.	00:27:29
	But he cannot be.	00:27:32
	Let me do a special meeting on that. I would. I would rather do a special meeting to be honest and have it worded right. This is	00:27:35
	the postponement for another lunch meeting.	00:27:39
	OK.	00:27:43
	We want to do it right. I think we want to do it right.	00:27:46
	And the point, and the point that I'm making is was that.	00:27:49
	Now there's over 2000 votes that you have the pencil and.	00:27:52
	They weren't cast OK. The goal is to get.	00:27:57
	People vote so their voices can be heard.	00:28:00
	Over 2000 people decided not to cast their votes, whether they didn't know they had three more votes to make, whether by design,	00:28:04
	they said, you know what, like I said, a vote, a vote for Mr. Fleming is a is a vote against me.	00:28:11
	And as you're in that pod, yeah, a lot of the stuff that came back to me was.	00:28:18
	Was people didn't read it.	00:28:24
	And then they said, well, they voted and they were like, oh shoot, I didn't vote for the other 3.	00:28:26
	I just voted for the one I think it was on.	00:28:31
	The front page and the back page, there's a big ballot, yeah.	00:28:33
	Because you got the school board and you got the Conservancy, people get tired of reading.	00:28:37
	Think about. Anyway, we'll postpone that.	00:28:42
	And now these utility bills, you know, you want to say something about that.	00:28:44
	This year for the utility bills we are going to write off $45,761.59 and that's for the year 2020.	00:28:52
	For June of 2020, we are. For the fiscal year we actually built 7.8.	00:29:00
	$1,000,000 to write.	00:29:07
	35,000.	00:29:10
	Then second, then we write off utility charges on aye.	00:29:18
	We are going to go ahead and sign.	00:29:23
	For the purchase of the Newberry pond.	00:29:26
	And that will also be the.	00:29:28
	Recipient of the water that they're going to be cleaning for the EPA.	00:29:30
	Superfront side.	00:29:34
	The price is 100 and.	00:29:36
	Is that 50,000?	00:29:39
	To Mr. Chris Heffner and the Hefner family.	00:29:42
	I remember the council saying to go ahead and work with that so.	00:29:45
	We're just making it official now.	00:29:49
	And we're also working to try to get the property that they own on Cuba Road and they will donate their property. We're not going	00:29:51
	to buy that property.	00:29:55
	We'll be able to maybe clean up that whole area.	00:30:00
	But this one, we are going to pay for it.	00:30:03
	And it's not going to be a water park.	00:30:05
	Right now, it's going to be the recipient.	00:30:09
	Of the 250,000 gallons a day.	00:30:12
	Of clean water that's being cleaned with a Superfund.	00:30:17
	And it will also be.	00:30:21
	The recipient of runoff blood water.	00:30:22
	From the Conservancy in case their ditches run over.	00:30:26
	Mr. Arthur.	00:30:32
	We had it appraised.	00:30:35
	And that he wanted.	00:30:37
	254.	00:30:39
	Thank you, Mr.	00:30:41
	Who we approve of resolution #25-06-17C.	00:30:45
	I second the second discussion.	00:30:51
	All in favour.	00:30:55
	Remember well, you know, we've been working on it and I want to thank the Councillor Shalom and Travis Lopez for meeting with the	00:30:57
	commissioners.	00:31:00
	But we've come to a.	00:31:04
	Agreement. Uh.	00:31:06
	That we have now.	00:31:07
	I'm going to get paid for three.	00:31:10
	Extra EMT.	00:31:12
	Uh employees.	00:31:17
	Of the fire department.	00:31:19
	I think Chief Baca agrees with that.	00:31:20
	Really what we need.	00:31:23
	Right now, that's the minimum.	00:31:25
	The Commission still has to approve the small changes that we made.	00:31:27
	But this is just a discussion to let you know that we made some.	00:31:31
	Headway with the county Commission. They've been very kind and.	00:31:34
	Accepting the proposition of three extra ones.	00:31:38
	And we continue to serve the rest of the county.	00:31:41
	As we have now.	00:31:44
	And it makes a difference of about $240,000.	00:31:46
	So that's and then I think.	00:31:50
	The city councilors meeting with the commissioners kind of helped.	00:31:52
	Get that done and appreciate that.	00:31:56
	And so that's going to get.	00:31:58
	I think that the next meeting, I'm hoping the Commission will approve it and it'll come to us at the next meeting and this is over	00:32:01
	and above.	00:32:04
	What we have staffed right now, it will not.	00:32:08
	For the existing staff.	00:32:11
	It's an and then, Chief, are you going to be?	00:32:13
	Putting in for applications for.	00:32:19
	Three new empts or.	00:32:21
	So we were going to 18, which would be a big help.	00:32:27
	Yeah, which will be a big help.	00:32:31
	So I don't know if you had any other.	00:32:35
	Comments about that, but that's just.	00:32:37
	So we're going to make an actual. This is an action item so that.	00:32:39
	This is a memorandum of understanding of what?	00:32:42
	The county Commission is going to.	00:32:45
	Put into, I mean, they need to memorialize that.	00:32:48
	So that we don't have to be asking for it every every year.	00:32:51
	Let's move and seconded.	00:32:58
	Discussion.	00:33:01
	Again, thank you for meeting with him and.	00:33:03
	I don't know if you have other meetings that you're gonna make.	00:33:05
	But want to keep meeting with them about and they've been helpful. They've been helpful with the Senior Center too.	00:33:08
	Because we've had some needs for money.	00:33:13
	And we are, we want to see about meeting as a group, not only with the county, but maybe the schools and.	00:33:16
	And who else did we say? The schools?	00:33:23
	For the Regents, yeah, we could get whatever councillors are interested in, in talking, meeting with them.	00:33:27
	I think those are always good ideas and like I mentioned before, and I'll mention again, you guys probably get tired of hearing	00:33:34
	it.	00:33:37
	Is that?	00:33:40
	You know the the the board of trustees hires the manager of the coop.	00:33:41
	The umm.	00:33:46
	The Board of Regents hires the president of the Tech.	00:33:47
	The county Commission hires the county manager, right?	00:33:52
	So there are different forms of government. City Council doesn't work that way because the mayor is elected.	00:33:57
	So we work differently.	00:34:03
	And so if we.	00:34:05
	Talk and communicate with those.	00:34:08
	The trustees, the Board of Regents, we can get on the same page.	00:34:11
	And and we know that.	00:34:15
	Through the communication that.	00:34:18
	That that difference in style and manner of government makes a big difference.	00:34:20
	Because, you know, it's easy to say all that.	00:34:25
	The president is this way. Oh, the county manager is this way. Oh, the president of the Tech is this. Well, you know what? Is this	00:34:28
	really not those guys?	00:34:33
	It's really the.	00:34:37
	The group that's elected, the elected officials that hire that person, the Superintendent, is this or that. Well, it's a school	00:34:39
	board that that is ultimately responsible for the behavior of the people that they've hired.	00:34:45
	Doesn't work this way.	00:34:52
	For this type of government.	00:34:53
	So I just think it's a good idea to meet.	00:34:55
	BS for a little while with them so everybody knows how things work and and we can move forward with.	00:34:59
	Helping their organization, then helping our organization and we can help the community and the county.	00:35:06
	And I think collaborating between all entities is a really good idea as well.	00:35:13
	Well, and if they're going to build this new.	00:35:18
	Jim and all that, I think that's something.	00:35:20
	Because they sound like they're gonna have a shortfall as to what they think is gonna cost.	00:35:23
	So that would be great. So all in favor.	00:35:27
	We're doing a safe harbor lease for Puerto Siguro.	00:35:31
	I don't know if he knew, but.	00:35:34
	That building is subleased to us from tech.	00:35:37
	So this is just another paper that we need to get signed because they're doing a good job over there.	00:35:41
	We want to make sure we continually lease.	00:35:46
	Oh my God. Second the second discussion.	00:35:49
	Hi.	00:35:53
	New business.	00:35:55
	Oh, it has to deal with housing.	00:35:58
	So the Housing Authority was just approved for a grant.	00:36:00
	OF47 counties and it has to do with.	00:36:05
	Landlord.	00:36:08
	Are not able to remodel their their homes for rentals and a lot of.	00:36:11
	Rentals are empty because, you know, sometimes you can't afford to remodel them and maybe put them through the program or enter	00:36:17
	them to other people.	00:36:21
	So we received the grant.	00:36:25
	And we are taking applications for download.	00:36:29
	And it is will give them up to $25,000 to remodel their home.	00:36:33
	And the only thing that we asked back is that they sign a contract with housing.	00:36:37
	To ensure that their homes are rented through Section 8.	00:36:42
	And then we have another one.	00:36:46
	That is, we have our regular program, but then there's another one where if a tenant damages your unit.	00:36:49
	Will come in and help with about $5000 to repair your unit if if the.	00:36:57
	Entity I mean if the if the tenant damages your unit.	00:37:02
	But that $25,000 you don't have to pay back.	00:37:07
	If if that's all it takes to remodel your unit, how long is that contract with? Five years?	00:37:10
	And then is that depends on.	00:37:17
	The landlord's financial condition or no?	00:37:19
	Now and you know, do you know anything about I have AI have a renter.	00:37:22
	Who's going to be evicted?	00:37:28
	And she's handicapped.	00:37:30
	What can she do?	00:37:34
	To the I mean, she's going to get evicted.	00:37:37
	I mean, is there any protection for?	00:37:41
	Renters.	00:37:43
	Legal aid to make sure that.	00:37:46
	The election is correct or not?	00:37:49
	But she can get help to be great.	00:37:51
	Lena, could you give her that letter?	00:37:54
	And maybe she may be able to apply for your place.	00:37:57
	Because she definitely handicapped.	00:38:00
	Yeah. So if you maybe you could help us with that?	00:38:01
	OK, Mr. Bert.	00:38:06
	Is there prior to the mines being?	00:38:15
	Done. The water lines are constantly breaking on like on my at least on my street and I know it's back on.	00:38:20
	Other street behind and I think the main lines knew of this one understand but the stuff to the.	00:38:27
	Each one of.	00:38:33
	Isn't that wrong?	00:38:36
	But is there a chance to?	00:38:38
	Replace. I don't think so, but I have to refer to Lloyd. I'm sorry he's not here.	00:38:40
	Today, but I'd like to probably refer that to him.	00:38:46
	I'll get you the answer, OK?	00:38:50
	And that project is going to be done at the end of the year.	00:38:52
	The DI estimated date.	00:38:55
	I'll discuss with my first thing.	00:39:00
	First thing tomorrow, discuss that with.	00:39:03
	Where's the Columbus?	00:39:07
	And say thank you to the city for.	00:39:10
	Holes that are up in the same area.	00:39:13
	Think mainly on Park City and going up on Springhill bottles that they fixed and.	00:39:15
	They say they look great and they actually reached out to me today and said make sure.	00:39:20
	Make sure to let you know when the crews know. Thank you. Oh good, because I got a picture of one of the rims that.	00:39:25
	That's supposedly I I didn't take credit for it, but I don't know how he got it. And then I was approached by the farmers market	00:39:30
	about.	00:39:35
	Signage and stuff.	00:39:40
	For them, for people crossing.	00:39:43
	Back and forth, but I have spoke to leader and she said they're working on that. There's Lefty I think when talked to.	00:39:45
	As to which crosswalks they wanted.	00:39:52
	We're going to start this week, weren't they?	00:39:55
	Yeah, I'd like to thank the city for putting on the golf program at the at the tech wonderful. All the kids are really enjoying	00:39:59
	themselves. Even though it's real hot out there, you really don't even notice because the kids are having a good time with it.	00:40:05
	And not people and the kids that the city has hired.	00:40:12

	And just leave everything that's hard out there.	00:41:48
	Yes, you'll, you'll call the street department and let them know that you have some stuff to pick up and those guys will get out	00:41:53

	Anything else, Chief?	00:42:12
	Isaac in the Chiefs, no.	00:42:16
	If you want secure safety, he's taking care of that business.	00:42:18
	The latest one?	00:42:33
	It already took care of it.	00:42:34
	So thank you.	00:42:36
	And thank the guys.	00:42:38
	That's a tough job out there.	00:42:39
	All right, all the business sending old business, no.	00:42:41
	OK, we have.	00:42:46
	Executive session.	00:42:48
	Marianne, I'm going to go to the executive session, OK. I just wanted to let you know.	00:42:50
	That and this is not. It could be executive session, but I want to say it in public anyway.	00:42:56
	The PRC.	00:43:03
	And the Socorro electric Co-op.	00:43:06
	Have now they've signed an order.	00:43:09
	The PRC has signed an order.	00:43:11
	Against the Score Electric Coop, which includes $1,000,000 fine.	00:43:14
	985,000.	00:43:18
	We're going to have a mediation.	00:43:21
	Resume meeting initially.	00:43:24
	With a Co-op lawyer.	00:43:26
	Our lawyer text lawyer.	00:43:30
	And of course, Mr. Gonzalez from.	00:43:32
	From the coop.	00:43:36
	That would be a. It'll probably be a closed meeting.	00:43:39
	Every legal negotiations about.	00:43:43
	Where the city stand.	00:43:47
	Whereas everybody else text stamps on some of these things and I'll bring those to you after we've had the meeting.	00:43:49
	And then get your input as to where you think the city should stand.	00:43:55
	There's about 5 points.	00:43:59
	It's not just about the fine.	00:44:01
	It has to do with.	00:44:04
	LED.	00:44:05
	Length bridge.	00:44:09
	Economic development rates.	00:44:12
	Has to do with the fine.	00:44:14
	It has to do with what the city might expect from the coop.	00:44:17
	In order to support.	00:44:21
	Them in their fight with the PRC.	00:44:23
	Not a fight, but I mean, they're capitulated. I mean they're.	00:44:26
	They've said mea culpa, you know, but.	00:44:30
	But in the long run, the fine is going to end up coming out of our consumers pockets.	00:44:32
	Now we can't have that.	00:44:38
	And there's also an indication that the court might want to raise rates again.	00:44:40
	So all that, I'll just let you know that that's what's going to happen.	00:44:44
	We're going to have that meeting on the 27th.	00:44:47
	So and that that will be kind of a.	00:44:50
	Lawyer client type meeting.	00:44:54
	So it'll be.	00:44:56
	Confidential.	00:45:01
	I'm just giving you the meat of what?	00:45:02
	We're looking at.	00:45:05
	And Mr. Gonzalez has made great strides in our relationship.	00:45:07
	There's no doubt about it.	00:45:12
	And he's been open about everything.	00:45:14
	Shared stuff with us.	00:45:16
	He's looking at solar.	00:45:19
	They're up against it because of their equipment.	00:45:21
	Really obsessing.	00:45:24
	The trucks I guess are just. Do they already have the option?	00:45:27
	They were going to auction off like.	00:45:31
	12 trucks out there because.	00:45:33
	Dead. I mean a lot of them are really bad shape so.	00:45:36
	And he's been real honest and open about all that, so that's good.	00:45:41
	But just to let you know, we're out of that.	00:45:44
	OK, that's that.	00:45:48
	Then let me explain. Mr. Fleming's not here to help me out.	00:45:52
	That's a pretty thick dossier here.	00:45:58
	OK. So I'm going to go on to the personnel changes.	00:46:01
	Sergio.	00:46:04
	Is St.	00:46:06
	Certified traffic control supervisor.	00:46:08
	What the heck is that?	00:46:11
	Can we all have wastewater laboratory technician?	00:46:16
	We're again we're up against.	00:46:19
	We're up against getting people that.	00:46:22
	Qualified to run the sewer plan and we're grateful that.	00:46:24
	That Henry's still working.	00:46:27
	So we really want to make sure that he stays with us.	00:46:29
	Irena Benavides additional job duties Water Division Secretary Richie Chavez Additional job duties of the wastewater Joe Melendez.	00:46:33
	Kosher compliance, which is a big, big thing.	00:46:40
	And Sasha Gonzalez is a dispatcher, no.	00:46:43
	And Sasha was the.	00:46:47
	State champion.	00:46:50
	And wrestling.	00:46:51
	Undefeated.	00:46:53
	So, Chief, good luck. I hope she doesn't wrestle one of your police officers when she's caught on it.	00:46:54
	On the dispatch.	00:47:01
	So that's that's one that's wonderful that she.	00:47:03

	All right.	00:00:00
	9:00 to 1:00.	00:00:04
	It's the City of City Council meeting Tuesday, June 17th, 2025. Roll call please. Mayor Baskar.	00:00:07
	Councillor Travis Lopez here.	00:00:13
	Councillor Dean.	00:00:16
	Councillor Fleming.	00:00:17
	Councillor Olcanpo here.	00:00:19
	Counselor Rogaine.	00:00:21
	Councillor Partridge.	00:00:23
	Councillor Romero here, Councillor Salome here. We have a quorum.	00:00:25
	Mr. Lanell, I move. We approve the.	00:00:31
	Consent agenda as presented today.	00:00:34
	OK, the second discussion.	00:00:37
	All in favor.	00:00:40
	OK, public forum.	00:00:42
	Everybody, I'm OK.	00:00:53
	Yeah, my name, Dennis said there. And I live.	00:00:55
	On 605 Colson Drive.	00:00:58
	And right there at El Camino Real and Coulson.	00:01:01
	And my issue I have is.	00:01:05
	I have.	00:01:08
	Flooding every time it rains hard up in the area.	00:01:09
	West of there so and now they're building more and more.	00:01:14
	You know, houses and so that.	00:01:18
	Causes more. There's going to be more roofs. There's going to be.	00:01:21
	More cement sidewalks and driveways.	00:01:25
	So that flooding and getting a little worse and.	00:01:29
	That pipe is only a 12 inch pipe.	00:01:32
	And when they first put that in?	00:01:35
	I guess they didn't realize.	00:01:37
	You know how much?	00:01:39
	How many houses were going to go up in that area?	00:01:41
	So now I have an issue of.	00:01:44
	Every time we get a good rain, water backs into my garage.	00:01:48
	And.	00:01:52
	Once it was about half an inch.	00:01:54
	Before it came into my actual house.	00:01:57
	So, uh.	00:02:01
	Is that right by Robert? How to mails across the street from across the street on the north side?	00:02:03
	That holding pond doesn't hold anything at all or.	00:02:09
	That water from your place doesn't.	00:02:11
	It holds water, but the pipe that drains out of there, there's not big enough. OK. And the pipe comes out of a storm drain there?	00:02:14
	No, the pipe goes underneath El Camino Real.	00:02:20
	From I'll have Lloyd look at it.	00:02:29
	Let me get, let me.	00:02:32
	What do you recommend? He can't do nothing.	00:02:35
	Doctor recommendations he had Well no, but I mean but that 12 inch drain pipe.	00:02:39
	Where did it drain from?	00:02:45
	It it it just.	00:02:47
	It drains out of the pond.	00:02:50
	You know it.	00:02:53
	Towards the top of the pond, but it drains onto the road or it drains across the street into the field there.	00:02:55
	An empty and so the pond gets too full and can't take any more water from your place.	00:03:02
	OK, so let me we'll work on. We'll work on that. Let me get the.	00:03:11
	Backward, Lloyd and see.	00:03:16
	Because the discharge of that pawn.	00:03:17
	And to somebody else's property might be a problem, but.	00:03:21
	So we can discharge it on the road and let it drain down. But let me talk to Lloyd.	00:03:24
	Guy what? He came over and Danny came over to.	00:03:28
	Monette so.	00:03:33
	Donald.	00:03:36
	Well, I mean, Donald, yeah.	00:03:37
	He's the way. This week I'll get on the first thing.	00:03:40
	I'll work on it tomorrow with Lloyd.	00:03:44
	O'Donnell will be back on Monday. Yeah, because I, I mean, I worked at.	00:03:45
	For Fish and Wildlife, 35 years.	00:03:50
	And I put in a lot of drain pipes and inlets and outflows.	00:03:53
	And I just by my experience, I don't.	00:04:00
	That that pipe is not big enough.	00:04:04
	So you think increasing the size of the pipe with a bigger culvert right to fix the problem that's.	00:04:06
	Right now that's the problem. And then the type style of the pipe too.	00:04:13
	So they make different styles of pipes.	00:04:19
	So, uh.	00:04:22
	Anyway that that's one issue that you know I want to bring up tonight.	00:04:23
	And then there was another thing I have is not an issue but.	00:04:29
	I lost my son.	00:04:37
	Philip about a year ago now.	00:04:39
	He was in the army.	00:04:44
	20 years.	00:04:46
	And June 10th of this year would have been 21 years.	00:04:48
	Then he would have retired.	00:04:52
	Then, but he lost his.	00:04:55
	He did his tour in Iraq, Afghanistan.	00:04:58
	And then came home and passed away here.	00:05:01
	In the States while he was still in the Army.	00:05:05
	And I was wondering.	00:05:08
	If there's a way.	00:05:10
	To put something.	00:05:13
	At what do you call it at the Veterans Park?	00:05:17
	Sure.	00:05:21
	Let me look into that.	00:05:24
	Can you give me a little background on him? Can you write something up for me? Yeah, I can do that. Just just kind of his service	00:05:25
	and.	00:05:29
	And his.	00:05:33
	Full name and everything, a rank and just so you can drop it off. Yeah, Lena.	00:05:34
	OK. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.	00:05:40
	OK, I'm sorry. Sorry about that. Yeah, well, it's.	00:05:43
	Rough, but yeah.	00:05:47
	And I guess that's that's all I have right now, so.	00:05:52
	No, thanks. And so I'll get back with you in the flooding and.	00:05:56
	If you leave us a little bit of a remembrance about him.	00:05:58
	Understand if you have a photograph.	00:06:02
	Yeah, we could do that, OK. We might even do a little proclamation so we can do that, OK.	00:06:03
	Thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank you for coming.	00:06:09
	Anyone else?	00:06:16
	OK, Samantha Winter wants bicycle racks.	00:06:19
	At Don Juan's.	00:06:24
	CS OK.	00:06:27
	Thank you all the bike racks.	00:06:45
	Thank you.	00:06:52
	After I plot the step. I'm sorry.	00:06:58
	So all the bike racks have been generated.	00:07:02
	So we worked with the Ganglion Welding Club. They were able to get those all made for us. We did have to get pushed back in the	00:07:06
	timeline a little bit. Getting metal out there was was kind of hard this year.	00:07:11
	So we were able to get them all the pipe, get them all the steel, get everything welded up and painted. We actually were able to	00:07:16
	get 17 bike racks and settle the proposed 15. They threw in two extras for us.	00:07:21
	One actually didn't have that great of attack Weld job so more like one extra bike rack get 16.	00:07:26
	They're all at this point, all but four have been installed.	00:07:32
	They're in a variety of locations kind of across the county. We got some at the limit, our truck stop with the monkey farm stand a	00:07:36
	bunch up in Magdalena.	00:07:40
	But we would like to install some at Don Juan.	00:07:44
	That that main, main drag kind of right in front. And then Melissa at the Loma has also requested one if possible.	00:07:48
	With the other one.	00:07:55
	The Loma at the Loma Theater right across from it, they would also like one. But with the new sidewalk, there was some concern. We	00:07:57
	were talking to the building owner and he was like, well, the sidewalk city property and with it being new.	00:08:03
	He's like, well that's the city, so we'd like to see if it'd be possible to install some bike racks there.	00:08:09
	I've had nothing but grief on that Muzzin Harris project.	00:08:15
	I just, I just tell you, I just tell you that in public.	00:08:19
	So putting those bike racks there.	00:08:23
	If it's going to be the straw that broke my back.	00:08:27
	I just want to make sure.	00:08:31
	That they're they're.	00:08:33
	Because like I'm just telling you and I don't blame them. I know knock their business down. I know it changed some of the things	00:08:35
	there, but.	00:08:38
	We had to get that project done.	00:08:43
	But adding another.	00:08:45
	I won't say obstacle, but.	00:08:47
	Adding one obstacle on each side.	00:08:50
	I gotta have their 100%.	00:08:53
	Guarantee that they're not going to be **** * at me if we're doing it.	00:08:56
	That's just simple.	00:09:00
	And I'm all for the buy. You got one of the veterans store.	00:09:02
	You got him like this. Great.	00:09:06
	I'm just telling you on those two, that's why I hadn't responded to you.	00:09:08
	Is that?	00:09:12
	I just have gotten.	00:09:13
	And I'm still have a thwart act against me, a tort claim.	00:09:16
	So I you know.	00:09:19
	But that's that's my story. Yeah, sticking to it. That's but but what other places you got for you said, what about the other	00:09:22
	people? We're trying to get one also at Baca House. Baca House is requesting 1. The only gallons I would Baca House is they've got	00:09:27
	the bricks.	00:09:31
	Or a sidewalk. So we're trying to figure out like actual mounting because how these are designed is to deal with basically	00:09:36
	concrete bolts, just concrete set in.	00:09:39
	Screws. So we're trying to figure out basically the risks. They're sidewalk with the brick. We don't, we don't want to damage	00:09:43
	their sidewalk. So that's the other place that we've been working out.	00:09:48
	And then Box King and Brewing also would like one, but they're all asphalt.	00:09:53
	So we're also trying to figure out a good way to actually install those.	00:09:57
	So those are the other two that are sitting.	00:10:00
	Unclaimed.	00:10:03
	What about the coop? Is there one out there?	00:10:04
	Basically essentially on man's nearest path.	00:10:10
	The corner right there.	00:10:13
	Now, the P30, the dispensary right there, there's nothing past that.	00:10:16
	On that, on that street, on those in ours, have you spoken to the two businesses, Loma done ones we have and they and the business	00:10:21
	owners?	00:10:26
	Are up for it and so I can definitely get something in writing from them. Buildings.	00:10:30
	I'm trying to think of his name. That's why that's who I want. Thank you. I know who does, but I'm just saying.	00:10:36
	I don't understand any names, but I would like that in writing from them. OK, I can get something for. Yeah. He said that	00:10:41
	basically that the sidewalk has become city property, and he said he wasn't going to.	00:10:46
	Gonna touch it within with the new sidewalks and stuff like that.	00:10:52
	So I can keep you willing to stop.	00:10:55
	But see if you'd be willing to do something in writing and get that with that.	00:10:59
	Yeah, you're doing a great job. Thank you. What's your next project?	00:11:04
	We've got like a million projects, I'm not gonna lie. So one project that we're kind of working on with actually part of Seguro is	00:11:09
	spokes.	00:11:12
	It's the community bike shop that's their fire in that in the folders that opened up.	00:11:15
	On Monday night, Monday night we had our soft opening.	00:11:20
	For that we're trying to get.	00:11:23
	Somebody who can actually run the bike shop for us during the day.	00:11:24
	Because we are trying to expand that into being a drop off bike program where we actually donate bikes. We even fixed up and then	00:11:28
	donate back to the community for anybody who needs alternative transportation.	00:11:32
	And then we're still expanding the youth programs. So we have a youth drop in, drop in hours now two days a week during the	00:11:37
	summer.	00:11:41
	We've expanded the five hours now we had to split to two days. It just got too big. So we have two days now on Tuesdays and	00:11:44
	Thursdays.	00:11:47
	Umm, we've got a grief kit going out. That's our other big project. We're working with the schools to do bereavement kits,	00:11:51
	especially for children who've lost loved ones, either to overdose or suicide.	00:11:56
	So we've got those out. Those have been a huge hit. We've already dispensed 25 of those and we just started those in.	00:12:02
	January.	00:12:08
	And then we've got we've got the Wellness Wednesday movie still going on. We've got we're starting family game nights.	00:12:10
	On Saturday nights, it'll be the last Saturday of the month.	00:12:16
	They'll be in the office. We're going to have Aaron from World Tree Comics. He's going to come in and teach how to play like Magic	00:12:19
	Gathering and stuff like that and just have like a family gathering center.	00:12:24
	Then we've got more suicide prevention trainings coming in.	00:12:30
	We now offer youth mental health first aid, mental health first aid.	00:12:33
	QPR.	00:12:36
	And then we've got some trauma informed training as well.	00:12:38
	The two that we've been offering is the everyone can be trauma informed as well as the trauma informed for community helpers. And	00:12:42
	then we also have emotional CPR coming in the fall.	00:12:47
	Good job.	00:12:53
	We've got a you know, there's a program that heart start.	00:12:55
	Across the State is doing a CPR project.	00:12:58
	Was it June 27th?	00:13:01
	June 28th of the Convention Center.	00:13:03
	So we're inviting the whole all the public to come and get certified. They're doing that in in Jacksonville University Medical	00:13:06
	School.	00:13:10
	No, they don't get certified. Oh.	00:13:17
	The CPR class.	00:13:20
	And we can actually, we can actually promote that as well because we've actually been offering, we've partnered with the.	00:13:22
	The village of Angelina as well, one of their volunteers, the volunteering fire department, he does CPR certification. So we've	00:13:27
	actually been kind of very.	00:13:30
	Limited basis offering some out of the office as well. So I'd love to promote this one as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.	00:13:34
	We'll get you a flower for that.	00:13:40
	And then the other thing is that bicycle shop.	00:13:42
	Do we have any high school students leftover that might want to?	00:13:46
	Christian that might. We could if you need more.	00:13:49
	Help. Maybe for the summer anyway. Yeah, that would actually, that would actually be great because if any of the high school kids	00:13:52
	might be interested in.	00:13:55
	Working at the shop.	00:14:00
	It was right behind the thrift store. The personal thrift store right here in California is the old frame shop.	00:14:02
	There's the like ramp going up to it. It's in that unit.	00:14:08
	Mr. Parton.	00:14:13
	Reached out to me about.	00:14:15
	Bike maybe? I was trying to get clarification on it. So you donated Scope donated.	00:14:17
	Bike rack holder. Yeah, yeah, a bike repair stand.	00:14:24
	I called Donald, I think I missed Polo him or I were out one of the two.	00:14:30
	I and as you, you were hoping to get potentially get that back.	00:14:35
	To use app that yeah, yeah, that was never hope. Since it hasn't been installed yet, we were kind of wondering if either a the	00:14:40
	city can install it a little bit closer to the bike shop.	00:14:45
	Or even if we could just install it in the bike shop. So it's a standalone bike repair stand. We've actually.	00:14:50
	I don't know if y'all been up to Magdalena recently. There's ours and Magdalena set out right outside the steer stop so it's a	00:14:57
	it's not too big about yay tall. It's got a mount where you hang the bike on, It's got a pump.	00:15:02
	And like a little wrench set and things like that. It's not too, it's not too big.	00:15:07
	But we were hoping either a we could basically reutilize that over in the bike shop or even install it near the bike shop.	00:15:12
	Is that impossible? We have it.	00:15:18
	But I would like.	00:15:20
	Still, has it or not? It's been it's been a it's been a hot minute. I'm not gonna lie. If we.	00:15:23
	Yeah.	00:15:30
	And all that, but I'll look into it. We'll look into that.	00:15:32
	But as far as maybe getting a?	00:15:35
	Maybe getting some help at the shop?	00:15:37
	Maybe there's kids to learn about.	00:15:40
	Taking care of a bicycle? Yeah, that'd be great.	00:15:42
	Thank you for your presentation and I'll get back with you on the bike rack I need.	00:15:47
	I'm going to need a written thing from the.	00:15:51
	I'll definitely see the owners of the building.	00:15:54
	And then if I get something written from him, would.	00:15:57
	Would you all need to install that or we have a volunteer, His name's Edgar. He's one of the veterans who's been installing those	00:16:00
	for us. Would he install that?	00:16:04
	Yeah, we've got like a hammer drill and then this little basically.	00:16:10
	Things of cement tube that we put in and stuff like that.	00:16:18
	That's a good job. Thank you. Thank you, Thank you.	00:16:22
	OK, we're going to do have an election pretty soon, I guess.	00:16:28
	Hello. What's that all about?	00:16:32
	Municipal election action resolution #25-06-17A.	00:16:34
	The state requires us to have this resolution for our upcoming election. We have.	00:16:40
	4 councillors and a municipal judge running.	00:16:46
	This year, then, we'll be and.	00:16:49
	September. Is it snowing in October? November. I'm sorry, November 4th.	00:16:54
	Selection came came came first November.	00:17:01
	So Mr. Again I have a question on this. So the resolution, it still has the wards. I thought it was moved to the at large.	00:17:05
	At last election.	00:17:14
	At the last election it says that large at the beginning on.	00:17:17
	Isn't the top four vote getters. Is the top four vote getters, and so it shouldn't be by word.	00:17:22
	Shouldn't be people opposing themselves, it should be just.	00:17:27
	The top 4 Volt gutters is what we've had.	00:17:31
	OK, we can now.	00:17:34
	We're not. We could just get rid of the words off of that.	00:17:35
	We're not.	00:17:39
	Mr. Partridge.	00:17:42
	Is there a school of murders going to?	00:17:47
	What is that over 10,000?	00:17:51
	Now we're at what, 9?	00:17:55
	Eight. Well, eight or nine right now.	00:17:56
	9/9.	00:17:59
	That's when you get over 10,000.	00:18:01
	You also lose what they call the small cities of.	00:18:04
	Money, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars.	00:18:07
	We're never we're AT-90008980900.	00:18:10
	I believe, I believe when we used to have it at Ward one, Ward 2.	00:18:15
	When a person could go in and say well I want to run in Court One and then and that's it's all completely at large now, so.	00:18:20
	So we do have to postpone this on until the next one and change the resolution because the resolution still says words. I can I	00:18:30
	can just change the reading of the resolution and then.	00:18:35
	Yeah, because I was the last one on the last.	00:18:41
	The last resolution do guys I need I need this.	00:18:44
	Asked before.	00:18:48
	Our next meeting be too late, I need to get over the county clerk so.	00:18:51
	Just to order up an amendment saying that we should.	00:18:55
	These electors are at large and there's no no wards.	00:18:59
	I'll just delete. I'll just delete the words off of that.	00:19:04
	Or there was. How was the last one read the last election the last one?	00:19:07
	It was just like this actually, so.	00:19:12
	There was.	00:19:15
	The dollar was changed.	00:19:20
	So but but but.	00:19:23
	But that's that's fine, I can I can just delete.	00:19:24
	The wards off.	00:19:28
	And just leave it for your turn.	00:19:30
	On each one of them.	00:19:32
	Mr. Mayor, it seems that when a municipality has their own elections.	00:19:34
	That they don't have to go by the at large election process.	00:19:41
	When we decided to go with the timing of the county elections.	00:19:46
	Is when?	00:19:51
	The uh.	00:19:52
	The type of election.	00:19:54
	Changed so that was before me in years past.	00:19:56
	They were always requesting that the city of Socorro do these at large elections.	00:20:00
	But the city had their own municipal election.	00:20:06
	And decided to do it by war.	00:20:10
	And in fact.	00:20:12
	This last election.	00:20:14
	There was and I think I think I'm pretty accurate there was.	00:20:17
	There was 5000 votes and the mayor's for the mayor.	00:20:22
	Election total votes.	00:20:27
	And there was a total number of votes for.	00:20:29
	The at large counselors.	00:20:32
	Was 2300.	00:20:35
	So there was 2700 votes.	00:20:39
	That were cast for the.	00:20:42
	That will not cast.	00:20:45
	For the counselors.	00:20:47
	So people had their.	00:20:50
	The ballot in front of them.	00:20:52
	People had a pencil in their hand. They cast a vote for the mayor.	00:20:54
	And they?	00:20:59
	2700 or 2500 chosen to not cast their total number of eligible votes.	00:21:01
	OK, So what happened is that?	00:21:09
	In my opinion.	00:21:12
	The integrity.	00:21:14
	Of the election.	00:21:15
	Was.	00:21:17
	Was lowered.	00:21:18
	Because, in fact, people didn't cast their vote.	00:21:20
	Because.	00:21:25
	To be quite blunt and quite honest.	00:21:25
	If I was to submit a vote for myself as.	00:21:28
	A person that's running for one of the wards.	00:21:35
	And then and I have three more votes to submit.	00:21:38
	And I and I chose to submit a vote for Mr. Fleming, for example, who I believe.	00:21:42
	Was a good counselor and needs to have.	00:21:49
	Support.	00:21:52
	I could actually lose my election.	00:21:54
	Because from my own vote.	00:21:58
	You see that that's what happened.	00:22:00
	Last time because I said.	00:22:02
	Vote for the mayor.	00:22:04
	And for the counselors?	00:22:06
	And I don't believe a lot of people.	00:22:09
	Voted for the floor. They just maybe 1 or maybe none.	00:22:13
	So and that when that law changed because by Ward.	00:22:18
	Say if Anton was running, he'd go and say I want to run in Ward 1, so he would.	00:22:22
	And everybody would pick their spot and then.	00:22:28
	Other people would go in and say I want to run a good Santone or I want to run against Damien or whatever, so.	00:22:32
	So that that.	00:22:37
	Took away that and they had to run completely at large.	00:22:38
	So when it said you have to vote for four, I don't think a lot of people understood that and they did well, you know, you don't	00:22:42
	have to vote for four.	00:22:46
	No, you don't have to. You could just vote for one. Yes. And and the prudent thing to do is that you're playing the numbers game.	00:22:50
	Is to have you and your and the people that support you.	00:22:57
	Vote for one.	00:23:01
	Because a vote for another person you believe that you want to support.	00:23:03
	You. You can't.	00:23:09
	So the integrity of the election.	00:23:11
	Is diminished, in my opinion, due to that fact. Now you got to use strategies. Well, there's. Yeah, I don't know about strategy.	00:23:14
	Yeah. Well, you know, I, I don't know.	00:23:18
	That's that's just for the record. I voted against that.	00:23:23
	That's the one when you know, that was it. We had nothing to do with that. That was that came down because we we changed. We	00:23:26
	changed it to go to the county, to have the county run the election and change it to November.	00:23:32
	The state, the state changed the law to do it to be at large. The council had no decision on making that large.	00:23:37
	We believe that I think the election would be done with the county and the governor and executive this and that if there would be	00:23:44
	more participation. So you're looking to have more people vote.	00:23:50
	But the rule was left. But the rules were changed the minute that the council voted to go on the November election.	00:23:56
	Head of the March.	00:24:03
	We did the March, we changed it to November 1st and then it was right before the last election that Donald sent out the themes in	00:24:05
	the state, changed the law.	00:24:09
	Because the first election that we had going to November.	00:24:12
	That was our race. No, No, but we were.	00:24:15
	Doomed to accept their laws, whatever they the state decide. Whatever the state decided. That's why I wanted to stay in March, Mr.	00:24:20
	Ocampo.	00:24:23
	I just, I would, I didn't really understand it, I don't think. And we've talked about that, talk to people that have come in the	00:24:27
	office just about and how you can manipulate the system and.	00:24:32
	I just, I don't know about all that. I just, I think it's kind of unamerican just to not.	00:24:37
	Not say, hey, I think I can do a better job and so and so, I think I can serve people better than so and so and I'm gonna run for	00:24:42
	that war.	00:24:46
	I think that I should be.	00:24:50
	That representative.	00:24:52
	And instead you don't even know who you're running against. And can you revert back Polo?	00:24:54
	To the old system.	00:25:01
	I mean, I'm not saying this election.	00:25:03
	Yeah.	00:25:06
	Because it saved us like 25,000. That was the whole ticket.	00:25:07
	But when we had that, when we had that discussion.	00:25:11
	About going to the November system.	00:25:14
	Rather than the March that we did our own.	00:25:16
	Then we were kind of.	00:25:19
	Have to go with what the state said.	00:25:22
	And so I'm not sure whether there's a chance to revert back to March. The council would have to decide, but I mean, that's another	00:25:25
	discussion. But I'm just.	00:25:29
	Maybe we should look into it if you guys are interested.	00:25:34
	How far does the words before that though? Because whenever I was looking into it like.	00:25:37
	So if it was Ward One, they were arbitrary.	00:25:43
	Those ones were arbitrary.	00:25:46
	They didn't represent a certain area. Yeah, no, it was no.	00:25:50
	But once you get over 10,000.	00:25:53
	Then the council. I was just reading that just now. The council then.	00:25:55
	Besides, to make the ward, you know.	00:26:00
	That's where gerrymandering came in.	00:26:04
	Whether you how you make the words.	00:26:06
	And the council decides to divide the city out once you get past 10 lbs.	00:26:09
	Yeah, but right now we're at large, which Mr. Ogden pointed out. We need to make sure we're right.	00:26:14
	So I just.	00:26:21
	I'll just diddly find the old one from the last resolution that we did in 2023, but I can't. I don't see.	00:26:23
	Despite a run.	00:26:32
	And with the at large system, because I think last election was the first time that happened.	00:26:34
	Correct. But I think it came out kind of late and people were unaware of it because there was I think now that they did the	00:26:39
	election, we'll see what it looks like. I believe it's the last election. We had already done the the resolution that the change	00:26:44
	and then just when.	00:26:49
	Really. We found out about all the new laws. I think we knew about the new laws. It just.	00:26:54
	Just came out and then everybody wanted to go and pick a award and and it wasn't that way so.	00:27:00
	So will somebody make a motion? What are we going to make a motion to make sure it reads right, I mean.	00:27:05
	Make a motion to accept the resolution and we can do an amendment to it.	00:27:13
	Right. Well with the amendment wouldn't be in time to change you got to turn it in right if you do an amendment if you could just.	00:27:18
	Make a motion to.	00:27:24
	Accept the resolution.	00:27:27
	Without the words on there.	00:27:29
	But he cannot be.	00:27:32
	Let me do a special meeting on that. I would. I would rather do a special meeting to be honest and have it worded right. This is	00:27:35
	the postponement for another lunch meeting.	00:27:39
	OK.	00:27:43
	We want to do it right. I think we want to do it right.	00:27:46
	And the point, and the point that I'm making is was that.	00:27:49
	Now there's over 2000 votes that you have the pencil and.	00:27:52
	They weren't cast OK. The goal is to get.	00:27:57
	People vote so their voices can be heard.	00:28:00
	Over 2000 people decided not to cast their votes, whether they didn't know they had three more votes to make, whether by design,	00:28:04
	they said, you know what, like I said, a vote, a vote for Mr. Fleming is a is a vote against me.	00:28:11
	And as you're in that pod, yeah, a lot of the stuff that came back to me was.	00:28:18
	Was people didn't read it.	00:28:24
	And then they said, well, they voted and they were like, oh shoot, I didn't vote for the other 3.	00:28:26
	I just voted for the one I think it was on.	00:28:31
	The front page and the back page, there's a big ballot, yeah.	00:28:33
	Because you got the school board and you got the Conservancy, people get tired of reading.	00:28:37
	Think about. Anyway, we'll postpone that.	00:28:42
	And now these utility bills, you know, you want to say something about that.	00:28:44
	This year for the utility bills we are going to write off $45,761.59 and that's for the year 2020.	00:28:52
	For June of 2020, we are. For the fiscal year we actually built 7.8.	00:29:00
	$1,000,000 to write.	00:29:07
	35,000.	00:29:10
	Then second, then we write off utility charges on aye.	00:29:18
	We are going to go ahead and sign.	00:29:23
	For the purchase of the Newberry pond.	00:29:26
	And that will also be the.	00:29:28
	Recipient of the water that they're going to be cleaning for the EPA.	00:29:30
	Superfront side.	00:29:34
	The price is 100 and.	00:29:36
	Is that 50,000?	00:29:39
	To Mr. Chris Heffner and the Hefner family.	00:29:42
	I remember the council saying to go ahead and work with that so.	00:29:45
	We're just making it official now.	00:29:49
	And we're also working to try to get the property that they own on Cuba Road and they will donate their property. We're not going	00:29:51
	to buy that property.	00:29:55
	We'll be able to maybe clean up that whole area.	00:30:00
	But this one, we are going to pay for it.	00:30:03
	And it's not going to be a water park.	00:30:05
	Right now, it's going to be the recipient.	00:30:09
	Of the 250,000 gallons a day.	00:30:12
	Of clean water that's being cleaned with a Superfund.	00:30:17
	And it will also be.	00:30:21
	The recipient of runoff blood water.	00:30:22
	From the Conservancy in case their ditches run over.	00:30:26
	Mr. Arthur.	00:30:32
	We had it appraised.	00:30:35
	And that he wanted.	00:30:37
	254.	00:30:39
	Thank you, Mr.	00:30:41
	Who we approve of resolution #25-06-17C.	00:30:45
	I second the second discussion.	00:30:51
	All in favour.	00:30:55
	Remember well, you know, we've been working on it and I want to thank the Councillor Shalom and Travis Lopez for meeting with the	00:30:57
	commissioners.	00:31:00
	But we've come to a.	00:31:04
	Agreement. Uh.	00:31:06
	That we have now.	00:31:07
	I'm going to get paid for three.	00:31:10
	Extra EMT.	00:31:12
	Uh employees.	00:31:17
	Of the fire department.	00:31:19
	I think Chief Baca agrees with that.	00:31:20
	Really what we need.	00:31:23
	Right now, that's the minimum.	00:31:25
	The Commission still has to approve the small changes that we made.	00:31:27
	But this is just a discussion to let you know that we made some.	00:31:31
	Headway with the county Commission. They've been very kind and.	00:31:34
	Accepting the proposition of three extra ones.	00:31:38
	And we continue to serve the rest of the county.	00:31:41
	As we have now.	00:31:44
	And it makes a difference of about $240,000.	00:31:46
	So that's and then I think.	00:31:50
	The city councilors meeting with the commissioners kind of helped.	00:31:52
	Get that done and appreciate that.	00:31:56
	And so that's going to get.	00:31:58
	I think that the next meeting, I'm hoping the Commission will approve it and it'll come to us at the next meeting and this is over	00:32:01
	and above.	00:32:04
	What we have staffed right now, it will not.	00:32:08
	For the existing staff.	00:32:11
	It's an and then, Chief, are you going to be?	00:32:13
	Putting in for applications for.	00:32:19
	Three new empts or.	00:32:21
	So we were going to 18, which would be a big help.	00:32:27
	Yeah, which will be a big help.	00:32:31
	So I don't know if you had any other.	00:32:35
	Comments about that, but that's just.	00:32:37
	So we're going to make an actual. This is an action item so that.	00:32:39
	This is a memorandum of understanding of what?	00:32:42
	The county Commission is going to.	00:32:45
	Put into, I mean, they need to memorialize that.	00:32:48
	So that we don't have to be asking for it every every year.	00:32:51
	Let's move and seconded.	00:32:58
	Discussion.	00:33:01
	Again, thank you for meeting with him and.	00:33:03
	I don't know if you have other meetings that you're gonna make.	00:33:05
	But want to keep meeting with them about and they've been helpful. They've been helpful with the Senior Center too.	00:33:08
	Because we've had some needs for money.	00:33:13
	And we are, we want to see about meeting as a group, not only with the county, but maybe the schools and.	00:33:16
	And who else did we say? The schools?	00:33:23
	For the Regents, yeah, we could get whatever councillors are interested in, in talking, meeting with them.	00:33:27
	I think those are always good ideas and like I mentioned before, and I'll mention again, you guys probably get tired of hearing	00:33:34
	it.	00:33:37
	Is that?	00:33:40
	You know the the the board of trustees hires the manager of the coop.	00:33:41
	The umm.	00:33:46
	The Board of Regents hires the president of the Tech.	00:33:47
	The county Commission hires the county manager, right?	00:33:52
	So there are different forms of government. City Council doesn't work that way because the mayor is elected.	00:33:57
	So we work differently.	00:34:03
	And so if we.	00:34:05
	Talk and communicate with those.	00:34:08
	The trustees, the Board of Regents, we can get on the same page.	00:34:11
	And and we know that.	00:34:15
	Through the communication that.	00:34:18
	That that difference in style and manner of government makes a big difference.	00:34:20
	Because, you know, it's easy to say all that.	00:34:25
	The president is this way. Oh, the county manager is this way. Oh, the president of the Tech is this. Well, you know what? Is this	00:34:28
	really not those guys?	00:34:33
	It's really the.	00:34:37
	The group that's elected, the elected officials that hire that person, the Superintendent, is this or that. Well, it's a school	00:34:39
	board that that is ultimately responsible for the behavior of the people that they've hired.	00:34:45
	Doesn't work this way.	00:34:52
	For this type of government.	00:34:53
	So I just think it's a good idea to meet.	00:34:55
	BS for a little while with them so everybody knows how things work and and we can move forward with.	00:34:59
	Helping their organization, then helping our organization and we can help the community and the county.	00:35:06
	And I think collaborating between all entities is a really good idea as well.	00:35:13
	Well, and if they're going to build this new.	00:35:18
	Jim and all that, I think that's something.	00:35:20
	Because they sound like they're gonna have a shortfall as to what they think is gonna cost.	00:35:23
	So that would be great. So all in favor.	00:35:27
	We're doing a safe harbor lease for Puerto Siguro.	00:35:31
	I don't know if he knew, but.	00:35:34
	That building is subleased to us from tech.	00:35:37
	So this is just another paper that we need to get signed because they're doing a good job over there.	00:35:41
	We want to make sure we continually lease.	00:35:46
	Oh my God. Second the second discussion.	00:35:49
	Hi.	00:35:53
	New business.	00:35:55
	Oh, it has to deal with housing.	00:35:58
	So the Housing Authority was just approved for a grant.	00:36:00
	OF47 counties and it has to do with.	00:36:05
	Landlord.	00:36:08
	Are not able to remodel their their homes for rentals and a lot of.	00:36:11
	Rentals are empty because, you know, sometimes you can't afford to remodel them and maybe put them through the program or enter	00:36:17
	them to other people.	00:36:21
	So we received the grant.	00:36:25
	And we are taking applications for download.	00:36:29
	And it is will give them up to $25,000 to remodel their home.	00:36:33
	And the only thing that we asked back is that they sign a contract with housing.	00:36:37
	To ensure that their homes are rented through Section 8.	00:36:42
	And then we have another one.	00:36:46
	That is, we have our regular program, but then there's another one where if a tenant damages your unit.	00:36:49
	Will come in and help with about $5000 to repair your unit if if the.	00:36:57
	Entity I mean if the if the tenant damages your unit.	00:37:02
	But that $25,000 you don't have to pay back.	00:37:07
	If if that's all it takes to remodel your unit, how long is that contract with? Five years?	00:37:10
	And then is that depends on.	00:37:17
	The landlord's financial condition or no?	00:37:19
	Now and you know, do you know anything about I have AI have a renter.	00:37:22
	Who's going to be evicted?	00:37:28
	And she's handicapped.	00:37:30
	What can she do?	00:37:34
	To the I mean, she's going to get evicted.	00:37:37
	I mean, is there any protection for?	00:37:41
	Renters.	00:37:43
	Legal aid to make sure that.	00:37:46
	The election is correct or not?	00:37:49
	But she can get help to be great.	00:37:51
	Lena, could you give her that letter?	00:37:54
	And maybe she may be able to apply for your place.	00:37:57
	Because she definitely handicapped.	00:38:00
	Yeah. So if you maybe you could help us with that?	00:38:01
	OK, Mr. Bert.	00:38:06
	Is there prior to the mines being?	00:38:15
	Done. The water lines are constantly breaking on like on my at least on my street and I know it's back on.	00:38:20
	Other street behind and I think the main lines knew of this one understand but the stuff to the.	00:38:27
	Each one of.	00:38:33
	Isn't that wrong?	00:38:36
	But is there a chance to?	00:38:38
	Replace. I don't think so, but I have to refer to Lloyd. I'm sorry he's not here.	00:38:40
	Today, but I'd like to probably refer that to him.	00:38:46
	I'll get you the answer, OK?	00:38:50
	And that project is going to be done at the end of the year.	00:38:52
	The DI estimated date.	00:38:55
	I'll discuss with my first thing.	00:39:00
	First thing tomorrow, discuss that with.	00:39:03
	Where's the Columbus?	00:39:07
	And say thank you to the city for.	00:39:10
	Holes that are up in the same area.	00:39:13
	Think mainly on Park City and going up on Springhill bottles that they fixed and.	00:39:15
	They say they look great and they actually reached out to me today and said make sure.	00:39:20
	Make sure to let you know when the crews know. Thank you. Oh good, because I got a picture of one of the rims that.	00:39:25
	That's supposedly I I didn't take credit for it, but I don't know how he got it. And then I was approached by the farmers market	00:39:30
	about.	00:39:35
	Signage and stuff.	00:39:40
	For them, for people crossing.	00:39:43
	Back and forth, but I have spoke to leader and she said they're working on that. There's Lefty I think when talked to.	00:39:45
	As to which crosswalks they wanted.	00:39:52
	We're going to start this week, weren't they?	00:39:55
	Yeah, I'd like to thank the city for putting on the golf program at the at the tech wonderful. All the kids are really enjoying	00:39:59
	themselves. Even though it's real hot out there, you really don't even notice because the kids are having a good time with it.	00:40:05
	And not people and the kids that the city has hired.	00:40:12
	To support and help is just a wonderful program that keeps great tradition.	00:40:16
	Great tradition. Thank you. Thanks to the administration for that.	00:40:20
	Any of the eminent Division directors have comments?	00:40:25
	Steve.	00:40:30

	Good evening.	00:40:41
	Just wanted to check in and let you guys know that.	00:40:44
	Now with the school out and it hitting it pretty hard and.	00:40:47
	Irritating a lot of people so.	00:40:50
	Checking in.	00:40:54
	Anything. Umm.	00:40:58
	What can I Angel with you?	00:41:02

	With the mayor and.	00:41:07
	Street department, We're getting some yards cleaned up as well.	00:41:09
	But anything you guys got from me just let me know.	00:41:13
	Are you doing a great job? You know, it's not easy, I know.	00:41:18
	I heard you were even wearing a.	00:41:20
	Velcro camera, yeah. You know, there's people that he goes and people get upset.	00:41:22
	Yeah, but you got a cleanup coming up.	00:41:30
	I believe so. I'm working to see what Loyden and her year schedule that we're going to be cleaning up in different quadrants.	00:41:34
	So I think that'll be coming up.	00:41:42
	And it seems a lot by the branch.	00:41:45
	And just leave everything that's hard out there.	00:41:48
	Yes, you'll, you'll call the street department and let them know that you have some stuff to pick up and those guys will get out	00:41:53
	there and.	00:41:56
	Welcome and called the front desk because they'll make a work order.	00:41:59
	Alrighty. Thank you, guys. Thank you, Thank you.	00:42:08
	Anything else, Chief?	00:42:12
	Isaac in the Chiefs, no.	00:42:16
	If you want secure safety, he's taking care of that business.	00:42:18
	The latest one?	00:42:33
	It already took care of it.	00:42:34
	So thank you.	00:42:36
	And thank the guys.	00:42:38
	That's a tough job out there.	00:42:39
	All right, all the business sending old business, no.	00:42:41
	OK, we have.	00:42:46
	Executive session.	00:42:48
	Marianne, I'm going to go to the executive session, OK. I just wanted to let you know.	00:42:50
	That and this is not. It could be executive session, but I want to say it in public anyway.	00:42:56
	The PRC.	00:43:03
	And the Socorro electric Co-op.	00:43:06
	Have now they've signed an order.	00:43:09
	The PRC has signed an order.	00:43:11
	Against the Score Electric Coop, which includes $1,000,000 fine.	00:43:14
	985,000.	00:43:18
	We're going to have a mediation.	00:43:21
	Resume meeting initially.	00:43:24
	With a Co-op lawyer.	00:43:26
	Our lawyer text lawyer.	00:43:30
	And of course, Mr. Gonzalez from.	00:43:32
	From the coop.	00:43:36
	That would be a. It'll probably be a closed meeting.	00:43:39
	Every legal negotiations about.	00:43:43
	Where the city stand.	00:43:47
	Whereas everybody else text stamps on some of these things and I'll bring those to you after we've had the meeting.	00:43:49
	And then get your input as to where you think the city should stand.	00:43:55
	There's about 5 points.	00:43:59
	It's not just about the fine.	00:44:01
	It has to do with.	00:44:04
	LED.	00:44:05
	Length bridge.	00:44:09
	Economic development rates.	00:44:12
	Has to do with the fine.	00:44:14
	It has to do with what the city might expect from the coop.	00:44:17
	In order to support.	00:44:21
	Them in their fight with the PRC.	00:44:23
	Not a fight, but I mean, they're capitulated. I mean they're.	00:44:26
	They've said mea culpa, you know, but.	00:44:30
	But in the long run, the fine is going to end up coming out of our consumers pockets.	00:44:32
	Now we can't have that.	00:44:38
	And there's also an indication that the court might want to raise rates again.	00:44:40
	So all that, I'll just let you know that that's what's going to happen.	00:44:44
	We're going to have that meeting on the 27th.	00:44:47
	So and that that will be kind of a.	00:44:50
	Lawyer client type meeting.	00:44:54
	So it'll be.	00:44:56
	Confidential.	00:45:01
	I'm just giving you the meat of what?	00:45:02
	We're looking at.	00:45:05
	And Mr. Gonzalez has made great strides in our relationship.	00:45:07
	There's no doubt about it.	00:45:12
	And he's been open about everything.	00:45:14
	Shared stuff with us.	00:45:16
	He's looking at solar.	00:45:19
	They're up against it because of their equipment.	00:45:21
	Really obsessing.	00:45:24
	The trucks I guess are just. Do they already have the option?	00:45:27
	They were going to auction off like.	00:45:31
	12 trucks out there because.	00:45:33
	Dead. I mean a lot of them are really bad shape so.	00:45:36
	And he's been real honest and open about all that, so that's good.	00:45:41
	But just to let you know, we're out of that.	00:45:44
	OK, that's that.	00:45:48
	Then let me explain. Mr. Fleming's not here to help me out.	00:45:52
	That's a pretty thick dossier here.	00:45:58
	OK. So I'm going to go on to the personnel changes.	00:46:01
	Sergio.	00:46:04
	Is St.	00:46:06
	Certified traffic control supervisor.	00:46:08
	What the heck is that?	00:46:11
	Can we all have wastewater laboratory technician?	00:46:16
	We're again we're up against.	00:46:19
	We're up against getting people that.	00:46:22
	Qualified to run the sewer plan and we're grateful that.	00:46:24
	That Henry's still working.	00:46:27
	So we really want to make sure that he stays with us.	00:46:29
	Irena Benavides additional job duties Water Division Secretary Richie Chavez Additional job duties of the wastewater Joe Melendez.	00:46:33
	Kosher compliance, which is a big, big thing.	00:46:40
	And Sasha Gonzalez is a dispatcher, no.	00:46:43
	And Sasha was the.	00:46:47
	State champion.	00:46:50
	And wrestling.	00:46:51
	Undefeated.	00:46:53
	So, Chief, good luck. I hope she doesn't wrestle one of your police officers when she's caught on it.	00:46:54
	On the dispatch.	00:47:01
	So that's that's one that's wonderful that she.	00:47:03
