	Romero here.	00:00:00
	Answer Salome. We have a quorum all right for the pleasure.	00:00:01
	A legislative plan of the United States of America.	00:00:07
	Our nation under God.	00:00:12
	Indivisible with liberty and justice from.	00:00:16
	Mr. Romeo.	00:00:25
	Consent agenda as presented here.	00:00:30
	Move to 2nd to discussion. There's a whole bunch of resolutions for the budget.	00:00:33
	So I have many questions about it.	00:00:38
	OK, all in favor.	00:00:44
	All right, public forum.	00:00:46
	Who's not on the agenda? Would like to make a comment.	00:00:48
	Everybody's on the agenda.	00:00:53
	OK, Jay, do you have?	00:00:54
	You you want to speak in public firm.	00:00:56
	OK.	00:01:02
	What question do we have?	00:01:04
	Give us a hint. What kind of questions?	00:01:06
	Well, tell us what you're going to do.	00:01:13
	Come again, please. You know we had a meeting.	00:01:16
	Sam, everybody.	00:01:20
	And uh.	00:01:22
	We try to figure out something.	00:01:23
	To do for the homeless.	00:01:25
	And these are legitimate homeless that are not causing trouble. There is a group that causes problems.	00:01:27
	But she had an idea and we thought, well, the city can budget that.	00:01:31
	So kind of tell us what you plan to do for the.	00:01:35
	Yeah, so we, I mean, we're already open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the day from 1:50. As I think most of you know, we	00:01:38
	serve a hot meal.	00:01:42
	Showers, laundry, all that kind of stuff.	00:01:47
	Umm, but in the summertime when the temperature rises above 100°.	00:01:49
	We like to offer.	00:01:55
	Yes, there there are.	00:01:56
	Some that are like what you're describing.	00:01:58
	Kind of.	00:02:01
	Causing some problems in the community, but by and large these are just folks who just don't don't have housing.	00:02:03
	And that's for a variety of reasons that we could get into and talk for about a while and I'm guessing but.	00:02:10
	Umm, but the the best way to do anything is to try to.	00:02:17
	Offer some sort of solution to the problem we can we can do.	00:02:21
	There this I know that the.	00:02:25
	Police do sweeping.	00:02:27
	And try to keep the encampments down and stuff like that.	00:02:29
	But without some sort of emergency overnight shelter in place for these 30 people, they're just going to set up camp.	00:02:31
	Somewhere else, you know, and, and these are local folks.	00:02:37
	The something 80% of the people that we serve at Port Louisville are local sakura winds.	00:02:41
	And so.	00:02:48
	Yeah, we just wanted to be able to offer them this like life saving service, keep people from dying of exposure or dying from heat	00:02:50
	stroke in the summertime. And so I.	00:02:54
	Presented a proposal to that effect.	00:02:58
	To staff it, we already have procedure in place. We'd like to have two staff members.	00:03:00
	Umm, to supervise, you know.	00:03:05
	Be awake all night and just answer any questions and do referrals and that sort of thing.	00:03:07
	And again, just basic services, bathrooms and ice water.	00:03:13
	We have a little lounge area where we have a TV, they can watch movies on Netflix during the day and then this breaks down into	00:03:17
	shifts so.	00:03:21
	The cooling centers right now we're trying to do.	00:03:25
	Noon to 8 on days when we're not regularly open, which is.	00:03:28
	Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday and then on the days when we are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.	00:03:33
	We do close down for an hour after our regular services to do a thorough deep cleaning. We have a commercial kitchen and	00:03:37
	everything so we do close from 2:00 to 3:00 but then open back up at 3 and stay open until 8:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and	00:03:41
	Fridays just to get people.	00:03:45
	Out of the keys.	00:03:50
	In our hope is also that, you know, in the winter.	00:03:52
	We've had fires in these abandoned homes.	00:03:55
	That that would hopefully.	00:03:58
	Trying to be proactive. We're still going to be.	00:04:00
	Working with encampments and stuff with that, and we're not going to allow that.	00:04:02
	I know there's a bunch in the Bush and then the.	00:04:07
	When the trees over there, but.	00:04:09
	Anything in town we're not really allowing, so we wanted to have an alternative.	00:04:13
	And hopefully this will be a little, but not going to be a major event, but.	00:04:17
	Needs to be a little bit of a dent in trying to do something positive.	00:04:21
	Absolutely.	00:04:24
	And is that included in our final budget?	00:04:26
	Yeah, yeah.	00:04:31
	I appreciate you asking us for the money too, so thank you for the work you do.	00:04:32
	Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. I'm hoping this will be very good for the community and.	00:04:37
	And as you mentioned the fires.	00:04:40
	The one on.	00:04:43
	New Year's Eve, I think it was. It was so bad. It was the night that we weren't able to be open because we didn't have.	00:04:44
	Staff so.	00:04:50
	People are going to try to find ways to stay warm when they're freezing and unfortunately that's a devastating consequences for	00:04:51
	the community, so we hope to try to mitigate that.	00:04:56
	Thank you all for your support in your time.	00:05:01
	Thank you.	00:05:02
	Anyone else?	00:05:05
	OK, we shall go on to the ordinance where the municipal judge compensation.	00:05:08
	Orders #25-05.	00:05:13
	Dash 27.	00:05:16
	Yes, ma'am, Mr.	00:05:18
	I'll make a motion. We pass ordinance #25-05-27.	00:05:20
	Give me a second.	00:05:30
	I'll second the motion.	00:05:34
	Moved and seconded.	00:05:36
	Discussion. Uh.	00:05:37
	You have I gave you guys some information about the judges.	00:05:39
	Court.	00:05:43
	Schedules and the budget.	00:05:45
	And I think this is a.	00:05:48
	30% increase, something like that.	00:05:50
	From the salary based salary.	00:05:53
	There it is now.	00:05:55
	Is that judge? Is it 30?	00:05:57
	Oh, so more or less.	00:06:02
	More or less 30% huh?	00:06:06
	And Mr. Romero?	00:06:08
	At one time we had had.	00:06:09
	Conversation.	00:06:11
	2-3 years ago I can't remember.	00:06:13
	About whether to.	00:06:15
	We can retain the sport.	00:06:18
	Here in Socorro and I don't know.	00:06:21
	State with the state legislature about.	00:06:23
	Three years ago, Donald or.	00:06:26
	Four years ago.	00:06:28
	Gave municipalities.	00:06:30
	The option of.	00:06:32
	Not having a Municipal Court.	00:06:34
	And I've.	00:06:37
	Thought about that but.	00:06:40
	At this point, you know we have an acting judge and.	00:06:41
	You really can't. You have to do it.	00:06:44
	At election, Yes Sir, it would have to be. It can't be enough.	00:06:46
	Yeah, during the sitting judges term.	00:06:50
	And a committee has to be formed with the mayor.	00:06:52
	The judge, I believe a police officer. I'll e-mail this. I looked it up last week but at this point it's a little late because of	00:06:55
	the.	00:06:59
	Election coming up and I think the primary.	00:07:02
	Paula, is that the reason is the primaries coming up you have to put this in effect before the primary?	00:07:05
	Yes, it's actually the election.	00:07:09
	There's no primary, it's actually the election is coming.	00:07:14
	But is the timing for this? Is there a chance to?	00:07:18
	Look at it a little more in depth. I had some comments from the counselor that.	00:07:20
	They wanted to perhaps table it and look at it under depth. Is there?	00:07:24
	What's the timing for the?	00:07:27
	For this to get past and make sure that it gets into the.	00:07:29
	Into the, into the.	00:07:32
	Statute to be able to.	00:07:33
	Be acted upon by the next judge that they will receive it.	00:07:35
	Is there timing problem?	00:07:39
	We just have to advertise for 30 days. We've already done that.	00:07:40
	No, but I'm just saying that.	00:07:45
	I mean, I'm not sure if the.	00:07:46
	Council is ready to vote on it, that's fine. I'm just.	00:07:48
	I'm just reflecting some conversations I've had with the Council.	00:07:51
	That they wanted to perhaps have some time.	00:07:54
	Look.	00:07:56
	The bottom line is we're losing money.	00:07:57
	With the.	00:07:59
	The court.	00:08:00
	And then?	00:08:01
	Politically, you can't say.	00:08:04
	I'm going to make the judge.	00:08:06
	Make more money. That's not the right, it's not politically correct to say to the judge.	00:08:08
	So I'm just saying that.	00:08:13
	I'm just going by the budget.	00:08:15
	You have in front of you the.	00:08:17
	The the record from.	00:08:19
	FY16 to FY25.	00:08:22
	And the transfers?	00:08:26
	From the General Fund.	00:08:29
	Have been from 48,000.	00:08:32
	And on FY25?	00:08:34
	79,000.	00:08:38
	That's that's the amount of money that.	00:08:41
	Not collected the Hyatt.	00:08:44
	The high mark was 104,000.	00:08:46
	116,128 Thousand 120,000.	00:08:48
	104,116 had dropped down to.	00:08:52
	79,000 FY25.	00:08:55
	So we're going to be adding another 10,000 loss.	00:08:58
	And you also have.	00:09:01
	We're kind enough to.	00:09:03
	Give me some information about 2223.	00:09:06
	2324.	00:09:09
	And 2425 as to the number of citations.	00:09:11
	And the actual court hearings?	00:09:14
	And court.	00:09:16
	So you have that in front of you also.	00:09:18
	So it's it's.	00:09:20
	And it's only fair to also say.	00:09:22
	And I'd say that.	00:09:24
	In being transparent.	00:09:27
	The City Council is also going to be getting a raise.	00:09:29
	For the next.	00:09:31
	Group of counselors that are coming in.	00:09:33
	So, and it's a, it's a significant raise.	00:09:35
	So I think that's just important.	00:09:38
	Quite out I I personally am against it.	00:09:40
	Because I'm looking at the budget.	00:09:43
	But that's just wanted to put everything out that we need to put out Mr. Romero. And I would just with my question, I was just	00:09:45
	curious.	00:09:48
	What communities have?	00:09:53
	Actually, uh.	00:09:55
	I don't have that offhand.	00:09:56
	I haven't heard, you know.	00:09:58
	I don't have that. Do you know, Judge?	00:10:00
	If any communities have done away with their municipal.	00:10:02
	Courts.	00:10:06
	When there had only been one in the state.	00:10:09
	Limit based on population OK.	00:10:13
	And you know.	00:10:15
	Just, uh.	00:10:16
	Just to be clear as to the type of things that the municipal judge sees.	00:10:17
	That the magistrate may not such as.	00:10:22
	Dog issues.	00:10:24
	Code enforcement issues.	00:10:26
	That are local.	00:10:27
	We really don't ask any warrants or.	00:10:29
	Trying to arrest people because it ends up costing us a fortune if we put people in jail.	00:10:31
	So basically the citations are.	00:10:35
	Traffic and.	00:10:40
	If I'm wrong let me know.	00:10:43
	No.	00:10:46
	Mr. Mr. Sullivan.	00:10:55
	Avenged Sevenfold.	00:11:03
	For the deficit that their fund be.	00:11:05
	To support the municipal.	00:11:08
	That's basically.	00:11:10
	The $94,000 maybe?	00:11:11
	Maybe the increase in the salary for the judges and enough.	00:11:14
	Maybe it needs to be more.	00:11:18
	But I think as a council we need to see those numbers.	00:11:20
	As a council we need to, we need to see those numbers and.	00:11:24
	The side of the council is the value that the city taxpayer is funding with the general fund to put into the.	00:11:28
	Municipal Court.	00:11:34
	Is that?	00:11:36
	Is that equal to the value that?	00:11:37
	Commensurate with the value that they're receiving.	00:11:39
	The pool. The pool loses money, but the value that the.	00:11:42
	That the taxpayers and the kids get from it.	00:11:46
	We've decided that that's valuable. They have a good time, they have a place to safe place to be.	00:11:49
	That's fair.	00:11:53
	Now we just have to answer that question. Is the value?	00:11:55
	At $94,000 that the taxpayer is.	00:11:58
	Is funding of the deficit for having a Municipal Court?	00:12:01
	Is that worth it to the taxpayer?	00:12:05
	Because we can sit up here and we can vote on stuff like that.	00:12:07
	99% of taxpayers don't even know that we're voting on it.	00:12:10
	But we have to consider.	00:12:14
	Those those things just like that.	00:12:17
	Mr. Mayor, Mr. Logan.	00:12:20
	I think those are all good questions and conversations to have for the actual Municipal Court, but I think the issue at hand is.	00:12:22
	The salary for the judge itself I think that I mean.	00:12:28
	Those are all me.	00:12:32
	These this is all stuff that we could talk about if we were going to decide.	00:12:34
	On removing the Municipal Court, but the fact of the matter is, is that.	00:12:37
	This is for the next election for the next judge.	00:12:42
	Who you've been here? This is your first term, right?	00:12:44
	Yeah. So if you look back and.	00:12:47
	Such cases, I mean, it's, it's been pretty consistent so.	00:12:50
	That's a again that to me, that's a question for.	00:12:53
	Actual court itself.	00:12:56
	Not the issue.	00:12:58
	That we'll be voting on.	00:13:00
	Well, I mean, we were able to put a number to it because we put $3500 a month on there.	00:13:02
	I think we need to see the the numbers that support that number.	00:13:07
	So like I say, it might be not enough.	00:13:10
	For the municipal judge, might be 6000 a month.	00:13:13
	Right potential of what it.	00:13:16
	The work that's going to go through his office.	00:13:19
	Mr. Mayor, Mr. Partridge.	00:13:22
	Yeah, I was. I was in support of this too, and him in support of it in regards to you.	00:13:25
	The Rays discussed across the board we've given.	00:13:30
	The vast majority, I think of the city workers raises.	00:13:33
	Umm, you know, and from an understanding.	00:13:36
	That's been in place for quite a while.	00:13:40
	I do have questions about.	00:13:42
	Stuff. But if we're just voting on simply.	00:13:44
	Whether or not to give that position a raise.	00:13:48
	And whether it's.	00:13:50
	Judge Duterus for the next.	00:13:52
	Judge that's elected.	00:13:54
	I would be in favor of.	00:13:55
	Seeing that position get paid more as everybody else.	00:13:57
	But I can give you some history.	00:14:01
	When? Since I've been married since 1990. Mike Trujillo was the judge.	00:14:04
	And Travail was a.	00:14:08
	Part time Judge. Municipal Judge.	00:14:10
	So he was getting.	00:14:13
	A salary that was something like 10,012 thousand.	00:14:15
	When Judge Paces came in.	00:14:19
	Which of who I appointed?	00:14:21
	Because Mr. Judge Trio's passing.	00:14:24
	She worked for a while and then we actually made her.	00:14:28
	Full time.	00:14:32
	And that increased her salary.	00:14:34
	To the saladous.	00:14:36
	There now.	00:14:38
	Historically.	00:14:40
	We've had a, an an.	00:14:43
	The other thing is after.	00:14:45
	We do the budget and give.	00:14:47
	The judge, their salary.	00:14:49
	The city has absolutely no control over the court.	00:14:51
	No control over.	00:14:55
	Hours no control over.	00:14:57
	The how many cases are?	00:14:59
	Judge sees no control over.	00:15:02
	How the process goes on?	00:15:05
	Separation of.	00:15:09
	Powers between administrative and court.	00:15:11
	So the only thing that the.	00:15:13
	Council has.	00:15:15
	In their hands to be able to do anything.	00:15:17
	Is to.	00:15:19
	Look at the budget.	00:15:20
	Look at the class.	00:15:22
	Effectiveness.	00:15:24
	And decide whether.	00:15:25
	They want to continue to expand the court.	00:15:27
	By salary and whether?	00:15:30
	You're asking the judge to be.	00:15:33
	8 hours or you're just saying quote UN quote full time and Donald?	00:15:36
	You'll have to correctly full time can be anything.	00:15:39
	Yes, Sir.	00:15:43
	Anything over 40 hours a week.	00:15:44
	But to your question earlier will.	00:15:46
	For a deadline, I would say if the Council.	00:15:48
	Wants to postpone this. We need to act on it before.	00:15:51
	The date to sign up to run for judge.	00:15:55
	That way. I just wanted to clarify that.	00:15:57
	So, Mr. Chavez, so is this the first time?	00:16:01
	That we've ever questioned the.	00:16:05
	I mean when?	00:16:08
	Such cases was the first time is brought up.	00:16:09
	Since judge cases.	00:16:11
	So it wasn't so we don't know if she lost money, not lost money.	00:16:13
	Well, I can give you she lost money.	00:16:16
	I only went back to 2016.	00:16:19
	That's when you notice.	00:16:22
	This goes down to FY six, 2016.	00:16:24
	And so judgment.	00:16:26
	Kisses was a judge till.	00:16:28
	2020.	00:16:32
	20 Right 20.	00:16:34
	So you can see the losses, I mean there's some of them are like 128,000.	00:16:36
	Can see, so it's.	00:16:40
	It doesn't make a difference and and and you can see that the judge has actually had.	00:16:42
	In 2224.	00:16:47
	The number of hearings was 825.	00:16:50
	And the court hearings last year.	00:16:55
	Cases now bring.	00:16:58
	A lot has to do because the judge can't do that.	00:17:00
	He's not enforcement, he's basically just.	00:17:02
	Absolutely. Deacons at his own hour.	00:17:05
	Just like you guys do, sometimes you don't come to the meetings.	00:17:08
	You know.	00:17:12
	Just like I do. I mean, I get paid if I don't show up, you know, I still get paid.	00:17:13
	So we're politicians.	00:17:18
	I've been home.	00:17:21
	Yes.	00:17:23
	In terms of citations.	00:17:26
	What kind of breakdown is between traffic citations and?	00:17:28
	Non traffic citations.	00:17:33
	Well, the 13.	00:17:35
	Judging correctly, but.	00:17:37
	The 1350 citations are.	00:17:39
	Basically just.	00:17:42
	From the.	00:17:43
	Traffic and traffic.	00:17:45
	Yeah, well, they're not code enforcement.	00:17:47
	Are they code enforcement?	00:17:51
	Yeah, umm.	00:17:52
	Yeah, but it's not number wise, it's Chief.	00:17:54
	Yeah, yeah. But I mean.	00:18:01
	But when you look at 13 and 50 citations, do you think?	00:18:03
	Because the majority is the traffic.	00:18:06
	Yeah, yeah, majority.	00:18:09
	We get.	00:18:13
	That is criminal. Those traffic citations follow that case into this Magistrate Court. They don't go to Municipal Court.	00:18:14
	We can't separate them.	00:18:21
	So like for example what?	00:18:22
	What traffic violations go to a magistrate rather than the?	00:18:24
	Anything that is criminal.	00:18:29
	Basically anything.	00:18:31
	Say they got a DWI. Say they got.	00:18:32
	You know anything that.	00:18:35
	Has a criminal attachment that we go through.	00:18:36
	Prosecution. Umm.	00:18:39
	If there's traffic involvement in those two, they also go through that state port. We don't separate the criminal from the.	00:18:40
	So it all stays together.	00:18:47
	And you know that that's again budget wise.	00:18:50
	I don't want to be paying them money for the.	00:18:52
	That's why the problem too.	00:18:56
	For the jail, if we put him in jail.	00:18:57
	Each day will cost me a fortune if I.	00:19:02
	We put a bunch of municipal violations.	00:19:04
	Well.	00:19:09
	If the judge.	00:19:10
	Sends out a warrant.	00:19:11
	You know, then and they have to be put in jail because there's some people that just decide, hey, I'm not going to go into the	00:19:13
	court.	00:19:16
	So but but he.	00:19:19
	You know, we've said, well, we'd rather not have work.	00:19:20
	But again, it's.	00:19:23
	I can't tell you the.	00:19:26
	There's 2 like you brought up. It's a philosophical thing about municipal judge.	00:19:28
	It's a it's a real thing about the budget.	00:19:33
	And it's a real thing as to.	00:19:36
	We've had a municipal judge, as far as I know, as Mike Trujillo was the one that's been there forever.	00:19:38
	And then after that, judge cases.	00:19:43
	But.	00:19:45
	There's a.	00:19:48
	History of having municipal judges.	00:19:50
	We've had an escalation of.	00:19:52
	Salaries everywhere else.	00:19:54
	It hasn't had one at the judges.	00:19:56
	The Council has to decide whether.	00:20:01
	It's it's worth it to have.	00:20:03
	Judge, because after this you can't say anything to the judge about anything.	00:20:04
	This is the only thing that I personally.	00:20:09
	As far as administration is concerned.	00:20:12
	Have to be able to do anything about.	00:20:14
	The judges.	00:20:16
	You know, and we are talking about moving the judge to the.	00:20:18
	The new police station, once we get that all put together.	00:20:20
	Mr. Cartridge.	00:20:24
	Just referencing what was said earlier about.	00:20:26
	Part time and full time was that decided upon by the Council at one point?	00:20:29
	Yes, that was about, that was my ordinance.	00:20:34
	OK, so that if.	00:20:36
	For some reason.	00:20:39
	There was. We felt it was needed. That's something that could be revisited, another point.	00:20:40
	OK. I mean, that's that's a good point.	00:20:45
	I mean, it could be.	00:20:47
	That's the only thing. Not that I want, I just want to understand the process.	00:20:48
	The judge doesn't mind you saying that.	00:20:52
	No. You know, we're talking to frankly here. No, I just want to talk about it transparently. Yeah.	00:20:56
	And talk about it about in real things, not personality wise or anything.	00:21:02
	But you're right.	00:21:06
	It can be. It can be.	00:21:08
	Brought back up.	00:21:09
	But probably after.	00:21:10
	It has to be on the election of the judge.	00:21:12
	But it has to. It has to take effect.	00:21:15
	After.	00:21:16
	So yeah, it could be brought up and the ordinance could be changed and said.	00:21:18
	Yeah, we're just losing too much money. It's not working out.	00:21:22
	And it's not worth the 40,000 or whatever is going to be.	00:21:24
	OK, so.	00:21:27
	And to be clear that the Municipal Court isn't to generate.	00:21:29
	Lungs, it's not to generate revenue.	00:21:32
	That's that's what you're saying. Well, I mean, I mean, that's really the.	00:21:35
	Philosophy behind.	00:21:38
	The opportunities for the judge to generate revenue? Are there opportunities for the judge to generate revenue based on the	00:21:41
	citations that go across your desk?	00:21:45
	Put the judge in that situation. I mean the.	00:22:07
	Father should understand.	00:22:11
	They have very specific rules.	00:22:14
	And I have very specific rules administratively.	00:22:17
	About how we interact with the court.	00:22:20
	I mean, it's very.	00:22:22
	Pretty strict that we stay out of it.	00:22:23
	They are very but.	00:22:26
	But you know. But the bottom line is.	00:22:28
	Is it could be like you said, it could be rolled back.	00:22:30
	I'm just always looking at the budget if you take that.	00:22:34
	If you take that 79,000.	00:22:37
	Question is, can you put it somewhere else to better use?	00:22:40
	I wouldn't ask the judge to try to break even.	00:22:44
	But my job is to try to.	00:22:46
	So that's.	00:22:48
	That's when they separate, that's what.	00:22:50
	So you know, and I understand the discussion.	00:22:53
	Is good and robust, but.	00:22:56
	I wanted to point out the council and the mayor did get a raise for the next election.	00:22:58
	And the mayor didn't until the next mayor election.	00:23:02
	But that's.	00:23:04
	To be pointed out so.	00:23:05
	The employees have been getting raises.	00:23:06
	So I and I think your employees gotten some raises.	00:23:09
	So, so you know, that's, that's also.	00:23:12
	Just to be honest about it.	00:23:14
	Aren't strictly on the budget.	00:23:16
	Side So if you guys want to take a.	00:23:18
	What we can take the world I know.	00:23:21
	I don't think we had enough.	00:23:22
	Discussion or.	00:23:24
	So, Mr. Panetta, you want to do the.	00:23:26
	Voting councillor Salomi.	00:23:29
	Yes.	00:23:32
	Councillor Romero.	00:23:33
	Yes, Councillor Partridge, Yes.	00:23:35
	Counsellor O'gane.	00:23:38
	Councillor Ocampo.	00:23:40
	Yes, Councillor, Councillor Fleming's now Councillor Dean.	00:23:41
	Councillor Travis Lopez.	00:23:47
	Motion passes OK.	00:23:50
	Very good. And that takes into effect in January.	00:23:51
	Of 2026.	00:23:55
	Thank you.	00:23:57
	Thanks. I mean, thank you for coming and it's important to have it.	00:23:58
	We've got to have this conversation, I think when.	00:24:01
	We.	00:24:04
	Answered understanding it.	00:24:06
	OK, so that the conversation could take place again.	00:24:08
	After the election.	00:24:13
	That's true. Well, yeah.	00:24:16
	Yeah.	00:24:18
	I mean, I think we're going to have to look.	00:24:19
	I mean the next administration or whatever.	00:24:22
	And we can look at.	00:24:26
	Talk about it whenever. I mean, that's fine.	00:24:27
	But maybe there'll be more competition now.	00:24:30
	Get the word.	00:24:32
	OK.	00:24:35
	Same thing with the City Council.	00:24:37
	So this is the resolution for the final budget.	00:24:39
	Mayor Council. So we're done with the year now we're starting the new year, so I had the end of quarter.	00:24:48
	Fourth quarter, so I have ending cash balance matches, beginning cash balance in the budget.	00:24:54
	I just wanted to give you just a little overview.	00:25:00
	Of the 4th.	00:25:02
	Quarter well FY25 so.	00:25:04
	GRT was up 24% in revenue. Expenditures were 1% less than budgeted. This is what was budgeted.	00:25:07
	Projects were the Evergreen.	00:25:14
	It's Evergreens Solar project. Bell Press.	00:25:16
	Manzanaris and.	00:25:20
	There's continuous engineering on all the roads for projects coming up.	00:25:21
	The rodeo arena.	00:25:25
	It was the clubhouse.	00:25:26
	The arena skin stalls.	00:25:28
	Sound system.	00:25:29
	Heating and cooling and security quarters.	00:25:30
	Umm, auto maintenance got a hydraulic lift?	00:25:33
	Fire station remodel. They got some heart monitors on a lease.	00:25:36
	They purchased a Gurney for an ambulance.	00:25:40
	You had the baseball lights put up.	00:25:42
	Joined Enterprise revenue was 7% less than budgeted.	00:25:44
	Expenditures were 10%.	00:25:49
	Lesson. Umm.	00:25:50
	Budgeted The overall year and capital outlay for Joint Enterprise was 1.1.	00:25:52
	Million and repairing system maintenance. Maintenance was about 500,000 appearances. System maintenance is just things that need	00:25:56
	to be done.	00:25:59
	Throughout the city.	00:26:04
	With the gas, water.	00:26:05
	Wastewater.	00:26:06
	Solid waste and landfill.	00:26:08
	Senior Center ended their second year. Linda did a wonderful job. We extended all funding.	00:26:10
	Nothing was reverted.	00:26:15
	Grants. All grants were expended. Law Enforcement Fire Fund. EMS.	00:26:17
	Firefighter One.	00:26:22
	The grant we got for one EMT that was extended.	00:26:24
	And the third year for the law enforcement retention.	00:26:27
	That has been expended this year and we have one more year on.	00:26:30
	The recruitment.	00:26:34
	Grant and that's for the fourth quarter.	00:26:36
	And then?	00:26:39
	For the budget.	00:26:40
	What I budgeted.	00:26:41
	In revenue and GRT, I budgeted 9% less than what actually came in.	00:26:42
	Because we don't know what's going to happen.	00:26:47
	You know, throughout the year.	00:26:49
	Salaries increased by 16%.	00:26:51
	PRA employee and employer was half a percent increase. Health insurance was 24% increase.	00:26:54
	80% the city picks up.	00:27:00
	And 20% is an employee.	00:27:03
	Expenditures is a 12%.	00:27:06
	Increase liability insurance went up 5%.	00:27:07
	Capital outlay throughout the city.	00:27:11
	We budgeted some capital outlays that would come out of.	00:27:13
	Cash balance or revenue that came in?	00:27:17
	Joint Enterprises 385,000. Special utility 150,000.	00:27:19
	Revolving loan would be 400,000.	00:27:23
	Revolving loan is for the wastewater department.	00:27:26
	And then we also have capital improvements for gas, water, wastewater.	00:27:28
	That isn't budget.	00:27:32
	Projects that are funded that I have in budget manzanaras need to be completed. We have center.	00:27:35
	Church and Park Street. We have Otero.	00:27:40
	Cuba Rd. which is CBD G.	00:27:42
	The police building Police cars dispatch E 911.	00:27:44
	The Rodeo sound system, the cooling, the clubhouse, which is the quality of life grant. These are all funded that I'm reading.	00:27:49
	The transportation got 1 van and then we got a New Mexico match to cover that.	00:27:57
	The spec building.	00:28:02
	I-25 Exit Family gym they're still working on.	00:28:04
	EMS 100,000 Law enforcement protection.	00:28:07
	111,000.	00:28:11
	Law Enforcement 30 OR 56,000. EMS second year 56,000.	00:28:13
	An ambulance from the state 346,000.	00:28:17
	An ambulance from the Department of Health, 208,000.	00:28:21
	Senior Center 37,000 and then.	00:28:25
	Of course we have eagle picture and then the CNG.	00:28:27
	That the marriage is.	00:28:30
	That and the only loans.	00:28:31
	Grant for 1,660,000.	00:28:35
	To upgrade the CNG.	00:28:40
	Upgrade 1.	00:28:42
	And part of that was from our lobbyist who worked.	00:28:45
	Really hard on that.	00:28:48
	Yeah. And then our loans of course we refinanced USDA and.	00:28:50
	That'll be doing it here. And then we have Evergreen and Valve Press.	00:28:55
	That will not be due until the project is complete, a year after if the project is complete.	00:28:58
	And that's my completed budget. I don't know if anybody has any questions on it.	00:29:02
	I thought those three EMS.	00:29:06
	Those are budgeted in and so it's the funding from the county.	00:29:08
	Just to clarify that we have.	00:29:12
	17 Chief.	00:29:14
	That we need to fill.	00:29:16
	And we are one short too short.	00:29:17
	So once we hit 17.	00:29:23
	Then the next three are from the county.	00:29:26
	That's that was the agreement we had.	00:29:29
	And they did approve the one that we didn't have to go to the jail.	00:29:31
	Improve them so it's going to be.	00:29:34
	To where we have to.	00:29:37
	Fill up with 17.	00:29:39
	And then, then he's got.	00:29:41
	5 or 6.	00:29:43
	What they call it?	00:29:46
	5 or 6.	00:29:47
	Candidates for possible.	00:29:49
	Or possible?	00:29:51
	Hiring and that some of them are certified so.	00:29:53
	So that that will be the next.	00:29:56
	Three after 17.	00:29:59
	Thankful by the county.	00:30:03
	So that that was good.	00:30:07
	And then we'll try to work something out for the with the county. I was talking to the chief.	00:30:08
	Well, we'll try to work something out for like medical call.	00:30:13
	Maybe send somebody there for an hour to help them with a medical call.	00:30:16
	And I think we can work something out, but that'd be a separate.	00:30:20
	Contract.	00:30:24
	We'll try to maybe try to do something like that with them.	00:30:25
	And I think they're helping with the.	00:30:30
	Senior Center a little bit.	00:30:32
	The county.	00:30:34
	Yeah, the Senior Center matched what the city is going to donate with 25,000.	00:30:36
	So I don't know if that covers Vegeta, but we're doing vegetable.	00:30:40
	Mr. Mayor, that that was a.	00:30:44
	An MOU that was done between the county and the city for those 3 firefighters is that.	00:30:46
	Because I remember before.	00:30:51
	It wasn't. It was.	00:30:52
	Just like they're you guys approved.	00:30:54
	Exclusion of the.	00:30:57
	Visit to the jail.	00:30:59
	It was sent over to them last week and that's all.	00:31:00
	OK, the amendments.	00:31:04
	The big thing to get done? That's 280,000.	00:31:11
	If not more.	00:31:15
	Also help for the chief.	00:31:17
	Ambulances are we're down to ambulances.	00:31:18
	Getting a new one in the end of July or something like that.	00:31:22
	But one in August maybe?	00:31:27
	But we're working with the hospital, with the transfers.	00:31:29
	Have to even cancel some transfers.	00:31:33
	So.	00:31:36
	Any questions?	00:31:39
	So we shall.	00:31:41
	There's a majority of the movie approved resolution #0.	00:31:44
	01/8.	00:31:48
	I second seconded discussion.	00:31:49
	Hi, this quarter report.	00:31:52
	Fourth quarter report.	00:31:57
	No, I already went over that one.	00:31:59
	I did them both already.	00:32:02
	At the end of the year budgeting, we have to, we have to, OK that too, right?	00:32:04
	Make a motion.	00:32:09
	Someone except 25-07-59.	00:32:11
	Moved and seconded all in favor.	00:32:14
	Then again working with the South Central Council of Governments.	00:32:17
	Reservation number 25-07-15 Green.	00:32:22
	We have been getting some results now since we have Gwen Valentino.	00:32:26
	As our.	00:32:29
	Grant writer so.	00:32:32
	We probably would like to go ahead and do that.	00:32:33
	Make a motion.	00:32:36
	Move the second, aye?	00:32:37
	Opposed new business.	00:32:40
	Counselors, you guys will see on that. I think you guys all got emails.	00:32:44
	I think there's a huge e-mail blast too, but.	00:32:49
	On July 24th from 2:00 to 6:00, there's an open house at the Community Kitchen.	00:32:51
	Sponsored by Mercedes, who's been working real hard on.	00:32:56
	Getting that up to par.	00:33:00
	Over the last three years, they were able to get $43,695 to go towards the.	00:33:02
	The build out.	00:33:09
	Of that community kitchen.	00:33:10
	Some of the people, just to give the counselors an idea, some of the people that have been using it.	00:33:13
	In 2022 there was 123-4567.	00:33:19
	Long term members, yet some short term members.	00:33:22
	Currently this year you have.	00:33:26
	Alice's Bakery, Box Canyon Brewing Company, Box Canyon Brewing, Brian Dean.	00:33:28
	Uh, Capital Bar? There's a Desert Badger Baking Company.	00:33:33
	Though that is the lights outside agitators Coffee Supai LLC.	00:33:37
	And bread from almost.	00:33:42
	Baked goods.	00:33:44
	There's some short term renters.	00:33:45
	Um, but just.	00:33:48
	I'd encourage councillors if you can make it. I know some of you guys have RSVP D.	00:33:51
	To go check it out, there will be food provided by one of the.	00:33:56
	Businesses that.	00:33:59
	Works out of the community kitchen.	00:34:01
	And there should be some people that have used it before as well too or are using it now to.	00:34:03
	Kind of talk about how.	00:34:09
	How beneficial it is.	00:34:10
	And also, from what I understand, there's going to be people from.	00:34:12
	Coming up to look at it because they kind of want to marry what?	00:34:17
	Has been done with that too, so.	00:34:22
	So I'm going to throw that out there and you know, these businesses could.	00:34:24
	Possibly. I mean they.	00:34:27
	Generate grocery seeds possible.	00:34:28
	Expansion jobs, et cetera.	00:34:30
	It's a really good addition to not only Socorro, but the region.	00:34:33
	As a whole.	00:34:37
	Council again Socorro County Chamber of Commerce is still in existence.	00:34:39
	Yeah, so they.	00:34:44
	They were the ones that started the process to get the community kitchen going.	00:34:47
	Technically, yes, they are still in existence.	00:34:53
	They do meet.	00:34:57
	But merge does the one that's been taking the lead on getting all this.	00:34:59
	So those are all conversations that obviously.	00:35:05
	The questions that I had as well too, about the Chamber, but.	00:35:07
	I think that's.	00:35:11
	That that some of that stuff will be coming down.	00:35:13
	The pipe, then conversations, all we had about that.	00:35:15
	I just wanted to say that.	00:35:18
	The Chamber owns the building.	00:35:21
	That.	00:35:24
	No, no, not this one.	00:35:26
	But a chamber owns a building that used to be by the.	00:35:27
	Sports page was, still is.	00:35:30
	Servancy uses it.	00:35:32
	Yeah. And they're getting revenue from that. And I just wonder why that revenue was going.	00:35:33
	Whether that revenue is being used for?	00:35:38
	That's why I wanted to know if there was any board members or.	00:35:40
	There are.	00:35:43
	That they that they monitor the.	00:35:45
	I think the rent is like 700 a month or something like that.	00:35:48
	But is that going?	00:35:51
	To just.	00:35:53
	Just I think that's a separate situation, separate issue.	00:35:56
	Has nothing to do with this.	00:36:00
	I'm sorry.	00:36:02
	I just wanted to know that.	00:36:03
	Since I saw the Chamber of Commerce's.	00:36:04
	I wanted to know why?	00:36:06
	And where they are and who I would, I think they're just giving them credit for the start of it. And I think.	00:36:09
	The Chamber actually runs the payroll for the.	00:36:14
	Kitchen manager still do.	00:36:17
	So there are an.	00:36:19
	There are A5031C or whatever.	00:36:20
	Do you know who's the manager there?	00:36:24
	Carla.	00:36:29
	OK. Thank you.	00:36:31
	Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.	00:36:32
	Step on anybody's toes about it, but I just.	00:36:34
	Was surprised to see that the chamber being still active.	00:36:36
	Any other new business?	00:36:40
	Mr. Partridge.	00:36:42
	Wrestling at the.	00:36:43
	Rodeo arena this weekend.	00:36:44
	Saturday, Friday, Saturday should be a 2 day event.	00:36:47
	I don't know if there's any way we can help just get the word out to the businesses that.	00:36:49
	The wrestling event in the evening, just.	00:36:53
	Help with you know.	00:36:55
	Food services and stuff that's always a.	00:36:57
	Tough one for us with the wrestlers. I was hungry and wanted eaten.	00:36:59
	Things being open so I don't know if there's any way mobile call or something.	00:37:03
	General public and then it looks like we're not meeting again till August 19th in it.	00:37:07
	I've had some talks about doing an event here on the.	00:37:11
	I sent it to you about just a.	00:37:15
	Outdoor event and it sounds like the.	00:37:18
	Hot August night.	00:37:20
	Working with.	00:37:21
	The group there, so just put the maps out here and get the insurance policy and make sure it's covered and.	00:37:22
	A little event, pretty small to begin with, that won't be two days, but.	00:37:27
	Something small, local, and then.	00:37:30
	Grow it and we'll grow it for sure.	00:37:31
	Couple events coming up.	00:37:35
	Any questions from the director? Thanks for coming.	00:37:37
	Any questions from the?	00:37:44
	Retired school bus Superintendent.	00:37:46
	Oh, OK.	00:37:49
	Just to let you know and Steve.	00:37:51
	Probably say it, but I'll tell you.	00:37:55
	Those.	00:37:57
	Stables.	00:38:00
	Fiscal year generated $102,000.	00:38:02
	That's, you know, and I think the Convention Center.	00:38:08
	Itself generated something like 38 or.	00:38:11
	40,000.	00:38:14
	And the RV park.	00:38:16
	In the last 2-3 months was really full.	00:38:18
	But it's so.	00:38:22
	It's coming to where we can try to maybe.	00:38:23
	I hate to use the word break even again.	00:38:26
	We're trying to do that so.	00:38:30
	And that's where we're at, old business.	00:38:32
	Question about the depth.	00:38:36
	That group came over and asked if there was a chance we could.	00:38:37
	Extend the hours, maybe longer throughout the summer. What was?	00:38:41
	The decision on that.	00:38:45
	US, Mr. Padilla.	00:38:46
	But I thought the city had to make a decision on whether or not we.	00:38:53
	Would try to accommodate them.	00:38:56
	Oh, OK.	00:39:04
	I believe I believe tech is accommodating them right now.	00:39:07
	You just have to put it on this weekend and it is open.	00:39:10
	I think at the time.	00:39:13
	They didn't know if it was going to be open.	00:39:14
	And one thing to keep in mind is if we spend the hour, we're going to have to find more lifeguards and we're having a hard time	00:39:16
	finding them.	00:39:19
	I brought up the lines on Pinon, they're doing the sewer and I had brought it up last time and.	00:39:26
	Lloyd and the crew got out there and got that done for I think 6 or 8 or.	00:39:32
	My neighbors there in the area that we've just had constantly.	00:39:35
	They did it so just.	00:39:38
	All the members were grateful.	00:39:40
	Thankful to the city for getting some.	00:39:41
	Thanks for taking care of that one. If he's laughing or crying or he's looking at.	00:39:44
	I just was worried that if it got paid.	00:39:49
	And then there's leaks underneath that we're gonna be digging it up so.	00:39:51
	They took care of it quickly.	00:39:53
	And we appreciate it. So thank you.	00:39:54
	So, Lloyd, have you heard anything about that flood?	00:39:57
	That the head on that street.	00:40:00
	Because the royal Arroyo had been.	00:40:02
	Closed off.	00:40:04
	Good, good. So you are going to.	00:40:10
	There is something that needs to get opened up or.	00:40:14
	OK.	00:40:17
	We're going to meet with.	00:40:19
	Lieutenant Governor Morales tomorrow.	00:40:21
	At about one, you're welcome to come.	00:40:24
	He'll be here at City Hall.	00:40:27
	But it's specifically.	00:40:28
	To try to finish up Finley Gym.	00:40:30
	To try to see if he can.	00:40:34
	Look at some money.	00:40:35
	For be about 1,000,003.	00:40:37
	To finish it up.	00:40:40
	So he was kind enough to actually he.	00:40:41
	Yeah, I was just talking about him, something about the root dose of floods and stuff and he.	00:40:44
	About Kenny, what can you do? What can I do? And because he was.	00:40:49
	He was on board from day one along with Representative Tripp.	00:40:52
	For the rodeo.	00:40:56
	When we started the whole process of building.	00:40:58
	And very thankful to him for being our senator and.	00:41:01
	Always looking out for us and he's help with a.	00:41:04
	Police station also so maybe he can help us with family gym.	00:41:06
	So that's where that's at.	00:41:10
	OK.	00:41:12
	Anything you guys want to volunteer?	00:41:15
	The.	00:41:18
	Come on, Steve, Come on.	00:41:20
	No, not a thing.	00:41:23
	Oh, OK. Oh, OK.	00:41:24
	You have to stand up, didn't you?	00:41:40
	Romero.	00:41:43
	Somebody was asking.	00:41:46
	Have a kind of a big canopy?	00:41:50
	And so.	00:41:53
	OK.	00:41:58
	Even the.	00:42:03
	Thank you.	00:42:07
	Thank you, Lord.	00:42:08
	Mr. Massaro.	00:42:10
	From also we have.	00:42:22
	Said we would accept 100 tons.	00:42:24
	A day with they do send some stuff to.	00:42:26
	And the landfill, yeah, it's been doing pretty well.	00:42:29
	A clean up.	00:42:35
	I see there's.	00:42:37
	Washing machines and dryers sitting out on people's curbs.	00:42:38
	Are we supposed to be those up?	00:42:43
	OK, OK.	00:42:46
	Well, good. I'm glad you made that decision on your own.	00:43:12
	That's gonna cost me money too.	00:43:22
	Anyway, so I got a question.	00:43:25
	On refrigerators.	00:43:27
	Do we accept refrigerators?	00:43:31
	I know so.	00:43:38
	Out there and we don't want the ones with the freon and I'm.	00:43:41
	And I don't care what you do with them, but I don't want, we don't want them.	00:43:44
	So that's important.	00:43:48
	They check it when you go there because the other one so they ask if you can get.	00:43:51
	They do, they look at.	00:43:57
	They're doing a job for sure.	00:43:59
	But anyway, but that those are.	00:44:01
	Thank you. Let me.	00:44:02
	Yeah, and the lights, Mike, are they doing OK?	00:44:04
	Grass, Lloyd, The grass is a little bit up in it.	00:44:08
	Call the middle.	00:44:11
	$1000 that.	00:44:20
	Wow, and the school that user feels.	00:44:21
	It's you.	00:44:26
	If we could get someone through a group of lights, move.	00:44:28
	They'd like to move the high school baseball field.	00:44:31
	The City of Park and.	00:44:34
	One field.	00:44:39
	I can hear him. I got my hearing aids on this guy.	00:44:43
	No, wait, are you talking about the?	00:44:47
	And that they would, really.	00:44:50
	So, uh.	00:44:52
	We should have thought it, we should have slowed it down a little bit.	00:44:53
	It's not working out at the high school, so they would really have liked to use the needle park and they would put a lot of money	00:44:58
	into Studio Park.	00:45:01
	Which I don't know if you go there during the week, Michael, I mean, it's packed.	00:45:04
	The Deal Park Back Boys. But it's a great place to have it. No, I know it's a lot.	00:45:08
	If we could, and if the schools could come up with the money, it would be good to move a few of those lights.	00:45:13
	And.	00:45:17
	Those are, oh, they could be moved. It's not you don't think a few of them, Three of them.	00:45:20
	We wouldn't pay to move them, wouldn't we?	00:45:25
	It wouldn't be. We could move on and have a hardball field there. We should have done it.	00:45:28
	We decided not to do it.	00:45:31
	Well, but.	00:45:33
	I didn't run it, might be worth doing it and.	00:45:34
	And don't, don't make that decision. Let them come and talk.	00:45:37
	No, no, I got services in America. I mean, I don't mind.	00:45:41
	I don't mind them having a hardball field, but the question is how much is going to cost to move them and.	00:45:45
	Set up the field we shouldn't.	00:45:49
	Bear the cost of OK.	00:45:51
	Well, that's great. I don't mind doing that.	00:45:54
	No, it's a great.	00:45:56
	People love to come down here.	00:45:57
	All the parking lots are full.	00:45:59
	That's great, really good.	00:46:01
	Mr. Mayor, Mr.	00:46:03
	Who said that, Donald? The high school baseball field is in terrible shape. It's got clumpy grass, kind of like some of our city	00:46:04
	will park areas.	00:46:08
	But go ahead, yes?	00:46:12
	We'd love to work with them.	00:46:15
	It's just the finances of it.	00:46:17
	So they're having the same issue. Ours is in better shape than theirs.	00:46:20
	You play third base or first base?	00:46:25

	Our nation under God.	00:00:12
	Indivisible with liberty and justice from.	00:00:16
	Mr. Romeo.	00:00:25
	Consent agenda as presented here.	00:00:30
	Move to 2nd to discussion. There's a whole bunch of resolutions for the budget.	00:00:33
	So I have many questions about it.	00:00:38
	OK, all in favor.	00:00:44
	All right, public forum.	00:00:46
	Who's not on the agenda? Would like to make a comment.	00:00:48

	OK, Jay, do you have?	00:00:54
	You you want to speak in public firm.	00:00:56
	OK.	00:01:02
	What question do we have?	00:01:04
	Give us a hint. What kind of questions?	00:01:06
	Well, tell us what you're going to do.	00:01:13
	Come again, please. You know we had a meeting.	00:01:16
	Sam, everybody.	00:01:20
	And uh.	00:01:22
	We try to figure out something.	00:01:23
	To do for the homeless.	00:01:25
	And these are legitimate homeless that are not causing trouble. There is a group that causes problems.	00:01:27
	But she had an idea and we thought, well, the city can budget that.	00:01:31
	So kind of tell us what you plan to do for the.	00:01:35
	Yeah, so we, I mean, we're already open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the day from 1:50. As I think most of you know, we	00:01:38
	serve a hot meal.	00:01:42
	Showers, laundry, all that kind of stuff.	00:01:47
	Umm, but in the summertime when the temperature rises above 100°.	00:01:49
	We like to offer.	00:01:55
	Yes, there there are.	00:01:56
	Some that are like what you're describing.	00:01:58
	Kind of.	00:02:01
	Causing some problems in the community, but by and large these are just folks who just don't don't have housing.	00:02:03
	And that's for a variety of reasons that we could get into and talk for about a while and I'm guessing but.	00:02:10
	Umm, but the the best way to do anything is to try to.	00:02:17
	Offer some sort of solution to the problem we can we can do.	00:02:21
	There this I know that the.	00:02:25
	Police do sweeping.	00:02:27
	And try to keep the encampments down and stuff like that.	00:02:29
	But without some sort of emergency overnight shelter in place for these 30 people, they're just going to set up camp.	00:02:31
	Somewhere else, you know, and, and these are local folks.	00:02:37
	The something 80% of the people that we serve at Port Louisville are local sakura winds.	00:02:41
	And so.	00:02:48
	Yeah, we just wanted to be able to offer them this like life saving service, keep people from dying of exposure or dying from heat	00:02:50
	stroke in the summertime. And so I.	00:02:54
	Presented a proposal to that effect.	00:02:58
	To staff it, we already have procedure in place. We'd like to have two staff members.	00:03:00
	Umm, to supervise, you know.	00:03:05
	Be awake all night and just answer any questions and do referrals and that sort of thing.	00:03:07
	And again, just basic services, bathrooms and ice water.	00:03:13
	We have a little lounge area where we have a TV, they can watch movies on Netflix during the day and then this breaks down into	00:03:17
	shifts so.	00:03:21
	The cooling centers right now we're trying to do.	00:03:25
	Noon to 8 on days when we're not regularly open, which is.	00:03:28
	Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday and then on the days when we are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.	00:03:33
	We do close down for an hour after our regular services to do a thorough deep cleaning. We have a commercial kitchen and	00:03:37
	everything so we do close from 2:00 to 3:00 but then open back up at 3 and stay open until 8:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and	00:03:41
	Fridays just to get people.	00:03:45
	Out of the keys.	00:03:50
	In our hope is also that, you know, in the winter.	00:03:52
	We've had fires in these abandoned homes.	00:03:55
	That that would hopefully.	00:03:58
	Trying to be proactive. We're still going to be.	00:04:00
	Working with encampments and stuff with that, and we're not going to allow that.	00:04:02
	I know there's a bunch in the Bush and then the.	00:04:07
	When the trees over there, but.	00:04:09
	Anything in town we're not really allowing, so we wanted to have an alternative.	00:04:13
	And hopefully this will be a little, but not going to be a major event, but.	00:04:17
	Needs to be a little bit of a dent in trying to do something positive.	00:04:21
	Absolutely.	00:04:24
	And is that included in our final budget?	00:04:26
	Yeah, yeah.	00:04:31
	I appreciate you asking us for the money too, so thank you for the work you do.	00:04:32
	Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. I'm hoping this will be very good for the community and.	00:04:37
	And as you mentioned the fires.	00:04:40
	The one on.	00:04:43
	New Year's Eve, I think it was. It was so bad. It was the night that we weren't able to be open because we didn't have.	00:04:44
	Staff so.	00:04:50
	People are going to try to find ways to stay warm when they're freezing and unfortunately that's a devastating consequences for	00:04:51
	the community, so we hope to try to mitigate that.	00:04:56
	Thank you all for your support in your time.	00:05:01
	Thank you.	00:05:02
	Anyone else?	00:05:05
	OK, we shall go on to the ordinance where the municipal judge compensation.	00:05:08
	Orders #25-05.	00:05:13
	Dash 27.	00:05:16
	Yes, ma'am, Mr.	00:05:18
	I'll make a motion. We pass ordinance #25-05-27.	00:05:20
	Give me a second.	00:05:30
	I'll second the motion.	00:05:34
	Moved and seconded.	00:05:36
	Discussion. Uh.	00:05:37
	You have I gave you guys some information about the judges.	00:05:39
	Court.	00:05:43
	Schedules and the budget.	00:05:45
	And I think this is a.	00:05:48
	30% increase, something like that.	00:05:50
	From the salary based salary.	00:05:53
	There it is now.	00:05:55
	Is that judge? Is it 30?	00:05:57
	Oh, so more or less.	00:06:02
	More or less 30% huh?	00:06:06
	And Mr. Romero?	00:06:08
	At one time we had had.	00:06:09
	Conversation.	00:06:11
	2-3 years ago I can't remember.	00:06:13
	About whether to.	00:06:15
	We can retain the sport.	00:06:18
	Here in Socorro and I don't know.	00:06:21
	State with the state legislature about.	00:06:23
	Three years ago, Donald or.	00:06:26
	Four years ago.	00:06:28
	Gave municipalities.	00:06:30
	The option of.	00:06:32
	Not having a Municipal Court.	00:06:34
	And I've.	00:06:37
	Thought about that but.	00:06:40
	At this point, you know we have an acting judge and.	00:06:41
	You really can't. You have to do it.	00:06:44
	At election, Yes Sir, it would have to be. It can't be enough.	00:06:46
	Yeah, during the sitting judges term.	00:06:50
	And a committee has to be formed with the mayor.	00:06:52
	The judge, I believe a police officer. I'll e-mail this. I looked it up last week but at this point it's a little late because of	00:06:55
	the.	00:06:59
	Election coming up and I think the primary.	00:07:02
	Paula, is that the reason is the primaries coming up you have to put this in effect before the primary?	00:07:05
	Yes, it's actually the election.	00:07:09
	There's no primary, it's actually the election is coming.	00:07:14
	But is the timing for this? Is there a chance to?	00:07:18
	Look at it a little more in depth. I had some comments from the counselor that.	00:07:20
	They wanted to perhaps table it and look at it under depth. Is there?	00:07:24
	What's the timing for the?	00:07:27
	For this to get past and make sure that it gets into the.	00:07:29
	Into the, into the.	00:07:32
	Statute to be able to.	00:07:33
	Be acted upon by the next judge that they will receive it.	00:07:35
	Is there timing problem?	00:07:39
	We just have to advertise for 30 days. We've already done that.	00:07:40
	No, but I'm just saying that.	00:07:45
	I mean, I'm not sure if the.	00:07:46
	Council is ready to vote on it, that's fine. I'm just.	00:07:48
	I'm just reflecting some conversations I've had with the Council.	00:07:51
	That they wanted to perhaps have some time.	00:07:54
	Look.	00:07:56
	The bottom line is we're losing money.	00:07:57
	With the.	00:07:59
	The court.	00:08:00
	And then?	00:08:01
	Politically, you can't say.	00:08:04
	I'm going to make the judge.	00:08:06
	Make more money. That's not the right, it's not politically correct to say to the judge.	00:08:08
	So I'm just saying that.	00:08:13
	I'm just going by the budget.	00:08:15
	You have in front of you the.	00:08:17
	The the record from.	00:08:19
	FY16 to FY25.	00:08:22
	And the transfers?	00:08:26
	From the General Fund.	00:08:29
	Have been from 48,000.	00:08:32
	And on FY25?	00:08:34
	79,000.	00:08:38
	That's that's the amount of money that.	00:08:41
	Not collected the Hyatt.	00:08:44
	The high mark was 104,000.	00:08:46
	116,128 Thousand 120,000.	00:08:48
	104,116 had dropped down to.	00:08:52
	79,000 FY25.	00:08:55
	So we're going to be adding another 10,000 loss.	00:08:58
	And you also have.	00:09:01
	We're kind enough to.	00:09:03
	Give me some information about 2223.	00:09:06
	2324.	00:09:09
	And 2425 as to the number of citations.	00:09:11
	And the actual court hearings?	00:09:14
	And court.	00:09:16
	So you have that in front of you also.	00:09:18
	So it's it's.	00:09:20
	And it's only fair to also say.	00:09:22
	And I'd say that.	00:09:24
	In being transparent.	00:09:27
	The City Council is also going to be getting a raise.	00:09:29
	For the next.	00:09:31
	Group of counselors that are coming in.	00:09:33
	So, and it's a, it's a significant raise.	00:09:35
	So I think that's just important.	00:09:38
	Quite out I I personally am against it.	00:09:40
	Because I'm looking at the budget.	00:09:43
	But that's just wanted to put everything out that we need to put out Mr. Romero. And I would just with my question, I was just	00:09:45
	curious.	00:09:48
	What communities have?	00:09:53
	Actually, uh.	00:09:55
	I don't have that offhand.	00:09:56
	I haven't heard, you know.	00:09:58
	I don't have that. Do you know, Judge?	00:10:00
	If any communities have done away with their municipal.	00:10:02
	Courts.	00:10:06
	When there had only been one in the state.	00:10:09
	Limit based on population OK.	00:10:13
	And you know.	00:10:15
	Just, uh.	00:10:16
	Just to be clear as to the type of things that the municipal judge sees.	00:10:17
	That the magistrate may not such as.	00:10:22
	Dog issues.	00:10:24
	Code enforcement issues.	00:10:26
	That are local.	00:10:27
	We really don't ask any warrants or.	00:10:29
	Trying to arrest people because it ends up costing us a fortune if we put people in jail.	00:10:31
	So basically the citations are.	00:10:35
	Traffic and.	00:10:40
	If I'm wrong let me know.	00:10:43
	No.	00:10:46
	Mr. Mr. Sullivan.	00:10:55
	Avenged Sevenfold.	00:11:03
	For the deficit that their fund be.	00:11:05
	To support the municipal.	00:11:08
	That's basically.	00:11:10
	The $94,000 maybe?	00:11:11
	Maybe the increase in the salary for the judges and enough.	00:11:14
	Maybe it needs to be more.	00:11:18
	But I think as a council we need to see those numbers.	00:11:20
	As a council we need to, we need to see those numbers and.	00:11:24
	The side of the council is the value that the city taxpayer is funding with the general fund to put into the.	00:11:28
	Municipal Court.	00:11:34
	Is that?	00:11:36
	Is that equal to the value that?	00:11:37
	Commensurate with the value that they're receiving.	00:11:39
	The pool. The pool loses money, but the value that the.	00:11:42
	That the taxpayers and the kids get from it.	00:11:46
	We've decided that that's valuable. They have a good time, they have a place to safe place to be.	00:11:49
	That's fair.	00:11:53
	Now we just have to answer that question. Is the value?	00:11:55
	At $94,000 that the taxpayer is.	00:11:58
	Is funding of the deficit for having a Municipal Court?	00:12:01
	Is that worth it to the taxpayer?	00:12:05
	Because we can sit up here and we can vote on stuff like that.	00:12:07
	99% of taxpayers don't even know that we're voting on it.	00:12:10
	But we have to consider.	00:12:14
	Those those things just like that.	00:12:17
	Mr. Mayor, Mr. Logan.	00:12:20
	I think those are all good questions and conversations to have for the actual Municipal Court, but I think the issue at hand is.	00:12:22
	The salary for the judge itself I think that I mean.	00:12:28
	Those are all me.	00:12:32
	These this is all stuff that we could talk about if we were going to decide.	00:12:34
	On removing the Municipal Court, but the fact of the matter is, is that.	00:12:37
	This is for the next election for the next judge.	00:12:42
	Who you've been here? This is your first term, right?	00:12:44
	Yeah. So if you look back and.	00:12:47
	Such cases, I mean, it's, it's been pretty consistent so.	00:12:50
	That's a again that to me, that's a question for.	00:12:53
	Actual court itself.	00:12:56
	Not the issue.	00:12:58
	That we'll be voting on.	00:13:00
	Well, I mean, we were able to put a number to it because we put $3500 a month on there.	00:13:02
	I think we need to see the the numbers that support that number.	00:13:07
	So like I say, it might be not enough.	00:13:10
	For the municipal judge, might be 6000 a month.	00:13:13
	Right potential of what it.	00:13:16
	The work that's going to go through his office.	00:13:19
	Mr. Mayor, Mr. Partridge.	00:13:22
	Yeah, I was. I was in support of this too, and him in support of it in regards to you.	00:13:25
	The Rays discussed across the board we've given.	00:13:30
	The vast majority, I think of the city workers raises.	00:13:33
	Umm, you know, and from an understanding.	00:13:36
	That's been in place for quite a while.	00:13:40
	I do have questions about.	00:13:42
	Stuff. But if we're just voting on simply.	00:13:44
	Whether or not to give that position a raise.	00:13:48
	And whether it's.	00:13:50
	Judge Duterus for the next.	00:13:52
	Judge that's elected.	00:13:54
	I would be in favor of.	00:13:55
	Seeing that position get paid more as everybody else.	00:13:57
	But I can give you some history.	00:14:01
	When? Since I've been married since 1990. Mike Trujillo was the judge.	00:14:04
	And Travail was a.	00:14:08
	Part time Judge. Municipal Judge.	00:14:10
	So he was getting.	00:14:13
	A salary that was something like 10,012 thousand.	00:14:15
	When Judge Paces came in.	00:14:19
	Which of who I appointed?	00:14:21
	Because Mr. Judge Trio's passing.	00:14:24
	She worked for a while and then we actually made her.	00:14:28
	Full time.	00:14:32
	And that increased her salary.	00:14:34
	To the saladous.	00:14:36
	There now.	00:14:38
	Historically.	00:14:40
	We've had a, an an.	00:14:43
	The other thing is after.	00:14:45
	We do the budget and give.	00:14:47
	The judge, their salary.	00:14:49
	The city has absolutely no control over the court.	00:14:51
	No control over.	00:14:55
	Hours no control over.	00:14:57
	The how many cases are?	00:14:59
	Judge sees no control over.	00:15:02
	How the process goes on?	00:15:05
	Separation of.	00:15:09
	Powers between administrative and court.	00:15:11
	So the only thing that the.	00:15:13
	Council has.	00:15:15
	In their hands to be able to do anything.	00:15:17
	Is to.	00:15:19
	Look at the budget.	00:15:20
	Look at the class.	00:15:22
	Effectiveness.	00:15:24
	And decide whether.	00:15:25
	They want to continue to expand the court.	00:15:27
	By salary and whether?	00:15:30
	You're asking the judge to be.	00:15:33
	8 hours or you're just saying quote UN quote full time and Donald?	00:15:36
	You'll have to correctly full time can be anything.	00:15:39
	Yes, Sir.	00:15:43
	Anything over 40 hours a week.	00:15:44
	But to your question earlier will.	00:15:46
	For a deadline, I would say if the Council.	00:15:48
	Wants to postpone this. We need to act on it before.	00:15:51
	The date to sign up to run for judge.	00:15:55
	That way. I just wanted to clarify that.	00:15:57
	So, Mr. Chavez, so is this the first time?	00:16:01
	That we've ever questioned the.	00:16:05
	I mean when?	00:16:08
	Such cases was the first time is brought up.	00:16:09
	Since judge cases.	00:16:11
	So it wasn't so we don't know if she lost money, not lost money.	00:16:13
	Well, I can give you she lost money.	00:16:16
	I only went back to 2016.	00:16:19
	That's when you notice.	00:16:22
	This goes down to FY six, 2016.	00:16:24
	And so judgment.	00:16:26
	Kisses was a judge till.	00:16:28
	2020.	00:16:32
	20 Right 20.	00:16:34
	So you can see the losses, I mean there's some of them are like 128,000.	00:16:36
	Can see, so it's.	00:16:40
	It doesn't make a difference and and and you can see that the judge has actually had.	00:16:42
	In 2224.	00:16:47
	The number of hearings was 825.	00:16:50
	And the court hearings last year.	00:16:55
	Cases now bring.	00:16:58
	A lot has to do because the judge can't do that.	00:17:00
	He's not enforcement, he's basically just.	00:17:02
	Absolutely. Deacons at his own hour.	00:17:05
	Just like you guys do, sometimes you don't come to the meetings.	00:17:08
	You know.	00:17:12
	Just like I do. I mean, I get paid if I don't show up, you know, I still get paid.	00:17:13
	So we're politicians.	00:17:18
	I've been home.	00:17:21
	Yes.	00:17:23
	In terms of citations.	00:17:26
	What kind of breakdown is between traffic citations and?	00:17:28
	Non traffic citations.	00:17:33
	Well, the 13.	00:17:35
	Judging correctly, but.	00:17:37
	The 1350 citations are.	00:17:39
	Basically just.	00:17:42
	From the.	00:17:43
	Traffic and traffic.	00:17:45
	Yeah, well, they're not code enforcement.	00:17:47
	Are they code enforcement?	00:17:51
	Yeah, umm.	00:17:52
	Yeah, but it's not number wise, it's Chief.	00:17:54
	Yeah, yeah. But I mean.	00:18:01
	But when you look at 13 and 50 citations, do you think?	00:18:03
	Because the majority is the traffic.	00:18:06
	Yeah, yeah, majority.	00:18:09
	We get.	00:18:13
	That is criminal. Those traffic citations follow that case into this Magistrate Court. They don't go to Municipal Court.	00:18:14
	We can't separate them.	00:18:21
	So like for example what?	00:18:22
	What traffic violations go to a magistrate rather than the?	00:18:24
	Anything that is criminal.	00:18:29
	Basically anything.	00:18:31
	Say they got a DWI. Say they got.	00:18:32
	You know anything that.	00:18:35
	Has a criminal attachment that we go through.	00:18:36
	Prosecution. Umm.	00:18:39
	If there's traffic involvement in those two, they also go through that state port. We don't separate the criminal from the.	00:18:40
	So it all stays together.	00:18:47
	And you know that that's again budget wise.	00:18:50
	I don't want to be paying them money for the.	00:18:52
	That's why the problem too.	00:18:56
	For the jail, if we put him in jail.	00:18:57
	Each day will cost me a fortune if I.	00:19:02
	We put a bunch of municipal violations.	00:19:04
	Well.	00:19:09
	If the judge.	00:19:10
	Sends out a warrant.	00:19:11
	You know, then and they have to be put in jail because there's some people that just decide, hey, I'm not going to go into the	00:19:13
	court.	00:19:16
	So but but he.	00:19:19
	You know, we've said, well, we'd rather not have work.	00:19:20
	But again, it's.	00:19:23
	I can't tell you the.	00:19:26
	There's 2 like you brought up. It's a philosophical thing about municipal judge.	00:19:28
	It's a it's a real thing about the budget.	00:19:33
	And it's a real thing as to.	00:19:36
	We've had a municipal judge, as far as I know, as Mike Trujillo was the one that's been there forever.	00:19:38
	And then after that, judge cases.	00:19:43
	But.	00:19:45
	There's a.	00:19:48
	History of having municipal judges.	00:19:50
	We've had an escalation of.	00:19:52
	Salaries everywhere else.	00:19:54
	It hasn't had one at the judges.	00:19:56
	The Council has to decide whether.	00:20:01
	It's it's worth it to have.	00:20:03
	Judge, because after this you can't say anything to the judge about anything.	00:20:04
	This is the only thing that I personally.	00:20:09
	As far as administration is concerned.	00:20:12
	Have to be able to do anything about.	00:20:14
	The judges.	00:20:16
	You know, and we are talking about moving the judge to the.	00:20:18
	The new police station, once we get that all put together.	00:20:20
	Mr. Cartridge.	00:20:24
	Just referencing what was said earlier about.	00:20:26
	Part time and full time was that decided upon by the Council at one point?	00:20:29
	Yes, that was about, that was my ordinance.	00:20:34
	OK, so that if.	00:20:36
	For some reason.	00:20:39
	There was. We felt it was needed. That's something that could be revisited, another point.	00:20:40
	OK. I mean, that's that's a good point.	00:20:45
	I mean, it could be.	00:20:47
	That's the only thing. Not that I want, I just want to understand the process.	00:20:48
	The judge doesn't mind you saying that.	00:20:52
	No. You know, we're talking to frankly here. No, I just want to talk about it transparently. Yeah.	00:20:56
	And talk about it about in real things, not personality wise or anything.	00:21:02
	But you're right.	00:21:06
	It can be. It can be.	00:21:08
	Brought back up.	00:21:09
	But probably after.	00:21:10
	It has to be on the election of the judge.	00:21:12
	But it has to. It has to take effect.	00:21:15
	After.	00:21:16
	So yeah, it could be brought up and the ordinance could be changed and said.	00:21:18
	Yeah, we're just losing too much money. It's not working out.	00:21:22
	And it's not worth the 40,000 or whatever is going to be.	00:21:24
	OK, so.	00:21:27
	And to be clear that the Municipal Court isn't to generate.	00:21:29
	Lungs, it's not to generate revenue.	00:21:32
	That's that's what you're saying. Well, I mean, I mean, that's really the.	00:21:35
	Philosophy behind.	00:21:38
	The opportunities for the judge to generate revenue? Are there opportunities for the judge to generate revenue based on the	00:21:41
	citations that go across your desk?	00:21:45
	Put the judge in that situation. I mean the.	00:22:07
	Father should understand.	00:22:11
	They have very specific rules.	00:22:14
	And I have very specific rules administratively.	00:22:17
	About how we interact with the court.	00:22:20
	I mean, it's very.	00:22:22
	Pretty strict that we stay out of it.	00:22:23
	They are very but.	00:22:26
	But you know. But the bottom line is.	00:22:28
	Is it could be like you said, it could be rolled back.	00:22:30
	I'm just always looking at the budget if you take that.	00:22:34
	If you take that 79,000.	00:22:37
	Question is, can you put it somewhere else to better use?	00:22:40
	I wouldn't ask the judge to try to break even.	00:22:44
	But my job is to try to.	00:22:46
	So that's.	00:22:48
	That's when they separate, that's what.	00:22:50
	So you know, and I understand the discussion.	00:22:53
	Is good and robust, but.	00:22:56
	I wanted to point out the council and the mayor did get a raise for the next election.	00:22:58
	And the mayor didn't until the next mayor election.	00:23:02
	But that's.	00:23:04
	To be pointed out so.	00:23:05
	The employees have been getting raises.	00:23:06
	So I and I think your employees gotten some raises.	00:23:09
	So, so you know, that's, that's also.	00:23:12
	Just to be honest about it.	00:23:14
	Aren't strictly on the budget.	00:23:16
	Side So if you guys want to take a.	00:23:18
	What we can take the world I know.	00:23:21
	I don't think we had enough.	00:23:22
	Discussion or.	00:23:24
	So, Mr. Panetta, you want to do the.	00:23:26
	Voting councillor Salomi.	00:23:29
	Yes.	00:23:32
	Councillor Romero.	00:23:33
	Yes, Councillor Partridge, Yes.	00:23:35
	Counsellor O'gane.	00:23:38
	Councillor Ocampo.	00:23:40
	Yes, Councillor, Councillor Fleming's now Councillor Dean.	00:23:41
	Councillor Travis Lopez.	00:23:47
	Motion passes OK.	00:23:50
	Very good. And that takes into effect in January.	00:23:51
	Of 2026.	00:23:55
	Thank you.	00:23:57
	Thanks. I mean, thank you for coming and it's important to have it.	00:23:58
	We've got to have this conversation, I think when.	00:24:01
	We.	00:24:04
	Answered understanding it.	00:24:06
	OK, so that the conversation could take place again.	00:24:08
	After the election.	00:24:13
	That's true. Well, yeah.	00:24:16
	Yeah.	00:24:18
	I mean, I think we're going to have to look.	00:24:19
	I mean the next administration or whatever.	00:24:22
	And we can look at.	00:24:26
	Talk about it whenever. I mean, that's fine.	00:24:27
	But maybe there'll be more competition now.	00:24:30
	Get the word.	00:24:32
	OK.	00:24:35
	Same thing with the City Council.	00:24:37
	So this is the resolution for the final budget.	00:24:39
	Mayor Council. So we're done with the year now we're starting the new year, so I had the end of quarter.	00:24:48
	Fourth quarter, so I have ending cash balance matches, beginning cash balance in the budget.	00:24:54
	I just wanted to give you just a little overview.	00:25:00
	Of the 4th.	00:25:02
	Quarter well FY25 so.	00:25:04
	GRT was up 24% in revenue. Expenditures were 1% less than budgeted. This is what was budgeted.	00:25:07
	Projects were the Evergreen.	00:25:14
	It's Evergreens Solar project. Bell Press.	00:25:16
	Manzanaris and.	00:25:20
	There's continuous engineering on all the roads for projects coming up.	00:25:21
	The rodeo arena.	00:25:25
	It was the clubhouse.	00:25:26
	The arena skin stalls.	00:25:28
	Sound system.	00:25:29
	Heating and cooling and security quarters.	00:25:30
	Umm, auto maintenance got a hydraulic lift?	00:25:33
	Fire station remodel. They got some heart monitors on a lease.	00:25:36
	They purchased a Gurney for an ambulance.	00:25:40
	You had the baseball lights put up.	00:25:42
	Joined Enterprise revenue was 7% less than budgeted.	00:25:44
	Expenditures were 10%.	00:25:49
	Lesson. Umm.	00:25:50
	Budgeted The overall year and capital outlay for Joint Enterprise was 1.1.	00:25:52
	Million and repairing system maintenance. Maintenance was about 500,000 appearances. System maintenance is just things that need	00:25:56
	to be done.	00:25:59
	Throughout the city.	00:26:04
	With the gas, water.	00:26:05
	Wastewater.	00:26:06
	Solid waste and landfill.	00:26:08
	Senior Center ended their second year. Linda did a wonderful job. We extended all funding.	00:26:10
	Nothing was reverted.	00:26:15
	Grants. All grants were expended. Law Enforcement Fire Fund. EMS.	00:26:17
	Firefighter One.	00:26:22
	The grant we got for one EMT that was extended.	00:26:24
	And the third year for the law enforcement retention.	00:26:27
	That has been expended this year and we have one more year on.	00:26:30
	The recruitment.	00:26:34
	Grant and that's for the fourth quarter.	00:26:36
	And then?	00:26:39
	For the budget.	00:26:40
	What I budgeted.	00:26:41
	In revenue and GRT, I budgeted 9% less than what actually came in.	00:26:42
	Because we don't know what's going to happen.	00:26:47
	You know, throughout the year.	00:26:49
	Salaries increased by 16%.	00:26:51
	PRA employee and employer was half a percent increase. Health insurance was 24% increase.	00:26:54
	80% the city picks up.	00:27:00
	And 20% is an employee.	00:27:03
	Expenditures is a 12%.	00:27:06
	Increase liability insurance went up 5%.	00:27:07
	Capital outlay throughout the city.	00:27:11
	We budgeted some capital outlays that would come out of.	00:27:13
	Cash balance or revenue that came in?	00:27:17
	Joint Enterprises 385,000. Special utility 150,000.	00:27:19
	Revolving loan would be 400,000.	00:27:23
	Revolving loan is for the wastewater department.	00:27:26
	And then we also have capital improvements for gas, water, wastewater.	00:27:28
	That isn't budget.	00:27:32
	Projects that are funded that I have in budget manzanaras need to be completed. We have center.	00:27:35
	Church and Park Street. We have Otero.	00:27:40
	Cuba Rd. which is CBD G.	00:27:42
	The police building Police cars dispatch E 911.	00:27:44
	The Rodeo sound system, the cooling, the clubhouse, which is the quality of life grant. These are all funded that I'm reading.	00:27:49
	The transportation got 1 van and then we got a New Mexico match to cover that.	00:27:57
	The spec building.	00:28:02
	I-25 Exit Family gym they're still working on.	00:28:04
	EMS 100,000 Law enforcement protection.	00:28:07
	111,000.	00:28:11
	Law Enforcement 30 OR 56,000. EMS second year 56,000.	00:28:13
	An ambulance from the state 346,000.	00:28:17
	An ambulance from the Department of Health, 208,000.	00:28:21
	Senior Center 37,000 and then.	00:28:25
	Of course we have eagle picture and then the CNG.	00:28:27
	That the marriage is.	00:28:30
	That and the only loans.	00:28:31
	Grant for 1,660,000.	00:28:35
	To upgrade the CNG.	00:28:40
	Upgrade 1.	00:28:42
	And part of that was from our lobbyist who worked.	00:28:45
	Really hard on that.	00:28:48
	Yeah. And then our loans of course we refinanced USDA and.	00:28:50
	That'll be doing it here. And then we have Evergreen and Valve Press.	00:28:55
	That will not be due until the project is complete, a year after if the project is complete.	00:28:58
	And that's my completed budget. I don't know if anybody has any questions on it.	00:29:02
	I thought those three EMS.	00:29:06
	Those are budgeted in and so it's the funding from the county.	00:29:08
	Just to clarify that we have.	00:29:12
	17 Chief.	00:29:14
	That we need to fill.	00:29:16
	And we are one short too short.	00:29:17
	So once we hit 17.	00:29:23
	Then the next three are from the county.	00:29:26
	That's that was the agreement we had.	00:29:29
	And they did approve the one that we didn't have to go to the jail.	00:29:31
	Improve them so it's going to be.	00:29:34
	To where we have to.	00:29:37
	Fill up with 17.	00:29:39
	And then, then he's got.	00:29:41
	5 or 6.	00:29:43
	What they call it?	00:29:46
	5 or 6.	00:29:47
	Candidates for possible.	00:29:49
	Or possible?	00:29:51
	Hiring and that some of them are certified so.	00:29:53
	So that that will be the next.	00:29:56
	Three after 17.	00:29:59
	Thankful by the county.	00:30:03
	So that that was good.	00:30:07
	And then we'll try to work something out for the with the county. I was talking to the chief.	00:30:08
	Well, we'll try to work something out for like medical call.	00:30:13
	Maybe send somebody there for an hour to help them with a medical call.	00:30:16
	And I think we can work something out, but that'd be a separate.	00:30:20
	Contract.	00:30:24
	We'll try to maybe try to do something like that with them.	00:30:25
	And I think they're helping with the.	00:30:30
	Senior Center a little bit.	00:30:32
	The county.	00:30:34
	Yeah, the Senior Center matched what the city is going to donate with 25,000.	00:30:36
	So I don't know if that covers Vegeta, but we're doing vegetable.	00:30:40
	Mr. Mayor, that that was a.	00:30:44
	An MOU that was done between the county and the city for those 3 firefighters is that.	00:30:46
	Because I remember before.	00:30:51
	It wasn't. It was.	00:30:52
	Just like they're you guys approved.	00:30:54
	Exclusion of the.	00:30:57
	Visit to the jail.	00:30:59
	It was sent over to them last week and that's all.	00:31:00
	OK, the amendments.	00:31:04
	The big thing to get done? That's 280,000.	00:31:11
	If not more.	00:31:15
	Also help for the chief.	00:31:17
	Ambulances are we're down to ambulances.	00:31:18
	Getting a new one in the end of July or something like that.	00:31:22
	But one in August maybe?	00:31:27
	But we're working with the hospital, with the transfers.	00:31:29
	Have to even cancel some transfers.	00:31:33
	So.	00:31:36
	Any questions?	00:31:39
	So we shall.	00:31:41
	There's a majority of the movie approved resolution #0.	00:31:44
	01/8.	00:31:48
	I second seconded discussion.	00:31:49
	Hi, this quarter report.	00:31:52
	Fourth quarter report.	00:31:57
	No, I already went over that one.	00:31:59
	I did them both already.	00:32:02
	At the end of the year budgeting, we have to, we have to, OK that too, right?	00:32:04
	Make a motion.	00:32:09
	Someone except 25-07-59.	00:32:11
	Moved and seconded all in favor.	00:32:14
	Then again working with the South Central Council of Governments.	00:32:17
	Reservation number 25-07-15 Green.	00:32:22
	We have been getting some results now since we have Gwen Valentino.	00:32:26
	As our.	00:32:29
	Grant writer so.	00:32:32
	We probably would like to go ahead and do that.	00:32:33
	Make a motion.	00:32:36
	Move the second, aye?	00:32:37
	Opposed new business.	00:32:40
	Counselors, you guys will see on that. I think you guys all got emails.	00:32:44
	I think there's a huge e-mail blast too, but.	00:32:49
	On July 24th from 2:00 to 6:00, there's an open house at the Community Kitchen.	00:32:51
	Sponsored by Mercedes, who's been working real hard on.	00:32:56
	Getting that up to par.	00:33:00
	Over the last three years, they were able to get $43,695 to go towards the.	00:33:02
	The build out.	00:33:09
	Of that community kitchen.	00:33:10
	Some of the people, just to give the counselors an idea, some of the people that have been using it.	00:33:13
	In 2022 there was 123-4567.	00:33:19
	Long term members, yet some short term members.	00:33:22
	Currently this year you have.	00:33:26
	Alice's Bakery, Box Canyon Brewing Company, Box Canyon Brewing, Brian Dean.	00:33:28
	Uh, Capital Bar? There's a Desert Badger Baking Company.	00:33:33
	Though that is the lights outside agitators Coffee Supai LLC.	00:33:37
	And bread from almost.	00:33:42
	Baked goods.	00:33:44
	There's some short term renters.	00:33:45
	Um, but just.	00:33:48
	I'd encourage councillors if you can make it. I know some of you guys have RSVP D.	00:33:51
	To go check it out, there will be food provided by one of the.	00:33:56
	Businesses that.	00:33:59
	Works out of the community kitchen.	00:34:01
	And there should be some people that have used it before as well too or are using it now to.	00:34:03
	Kind of talk about how.	00:34:09
	How beneficial it is.	00:34:10
	And also, from what I understand, there's going to be people from.	00:34:12
	Coming up to look at it because they kind of want to marry what?	00:34:17
	Has been done with that too, so.	00:34:22
	So I'm going to throw that out there and you know, these businesses could.	00:34:24
	Possibly. I mean they.	00:34:27
	Generate grocery seeds possible.	00:34:28
	Expansion jobs, et cetera.	00:34:30
	It's a really good addition to not only Socorro, but the region.	00:34:33
	As a whole.	00:34:37
	Council again Socorro County Chamber of Commerce is still in existence.	00:34:39
	Yeah, so they.	00:34:44
	They were the ones that started the process to get the community kitchen going.	00:34:47
	Technically, yes, they are still in existence.	00:34:53
	They do meet.	00:34:57
	But merge does the one that's been taking the lead on getting all this.	00:34:59
	So those are all conversations that obviously.	00:35:05
	The questions that I had as well too, about the Chamber, but.	00:35:07
	I think that's.	00:35:11
	That that some of that stuff will be coming down.	00:35:13
	The pipe, then conversations, all we had about that.	00:35:15
	I just wanted to say that.	00:35:18
	The Chamber owns the building.	00:35:21
	That.	00:35:24
	No, no, not this one.	00:35:26
	But a chamber owns a building that used to be by the.	00:35:27
	Sports page was, still is.	00:35:30
	Servancy uses it.	00:35:32
	Yeah. And they're getting revenue from that. And I just wonder why that revenue was going.	00:35:33
	Whether that revenue is being used for?	00:35:38
	That's why I wanted to know if there was any board members or.	00:35:40
	There are.	00:35:43
	That they that they monitor the.	00:35:45
	I think the rent is like 700 a month or something like that.	00:35:48
	But is that going?	00:35:51
	To just.	00:35:53
	Just I think that's a separate situation, separate issue.	00:35:56
	Has nothing to do with this.	00:36:00
	I'm sorry.	00:36:02
	I just wanted to know that.	00:36:03
	Since I saw the Chamber of Commerce's.	00:36:04
	I wanted to know why?	00:36:06
	And where they are and who I would, I think they're just giving them credit for the start of it. And I think.	00:36:09
	The Chamber actually runs the payroll for the.	00:36:14
	Kitchen manager still do.	00:36:17
	So there are an.	00:36:19
	There are A5031C or whatever.	00:36:20
	Do you know who's the manager there?	00:36:24
	Carla.	00:36:29
	OK. Thank you.	00:36:31
	Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.	00:36:32
	Step on anybody's toes about it, but I just.	00:36:34
	Was surprised to see that the chamber being still active.	00:36:36
	Any other new business?	00:36:40
	Mr. Partridge.	00:36:42
	Wrestling at the.	00:36:43
	Rodeo arena this weekend.	00:36:44
	Saturday, Friday, Saturday should be a 2 day event.	00:36:47
	I don't know if there's any way we can help just get the word out to the businesses that.	00:36:49
	The wrestling event in the evening, just.	00:36:53
	Help with you know.	00:36:55
	Food services and stuff that's always a.	00:36:57
	Tough one for us with the wrestlers. I was hungry and wanted eaten.	00:36:59
	Things being open so I don't know if there's any way mobile call or something.	00:37:03
	General public and then it looks like we're not meeting again till August 19th in it.	00:37:07
	I've had some talks about doing an event here on the.	00:37:11
	I sent it to you about just a.	00:37:15
	Outdoor event and it sounds like the.	00:37:18
	Hot August night.	00:37:20
	Working with.	00:37:21
	The group there, so just put the maps out here and get the insurance policy and make sure it's covered and.	00:37:22
	A little event, pretty small to begin with, that won't be two days, but.	00:37:27
	Something small, local, and then.	00:37:30
	Grow it and we'll grow it for sure.	00:37:31
	Couple events coming up.	00:37:35
	Any questions from the director? Thanks for coming.	00:37:37
	Any questions from the?	00:37:44
	Retired school bus Superintendent.	00:37:46
	Oh, OK.	00:37:49
	Just to let you know and Steve.	00:37:51
	Probably say it, but I'll tell you.	00:37:55
	Those.	00:37:57
	Stables.	00:38:00
	Fiscal year generated $102,000.	00:38:02
	That's, you know, and I think the Convention Center.	00:38:08
	Itself generated something like 38 or.	00:38:11
	40,000.	00:38:14
	And the RV park.	00:38:16
	In the last 2-3 months was really full.	00:38:18
	But it's so.	00:38:22
	It's coming to where we can try to maybe.	00:38:23
	I hate to use the word break even again.	00:38:26
	We're trying to do that so.	00:38:30
	And that's where we're at, old business.	00:38:32
	Question about the depth.	00:38:36
	That group came over and asked if there was a chance we could.	00:38:37
	Extend the hours, maybe longer throughout the summer. What was?	00:38:41
	The decision on that.	00:38:45
	US, Mr. Padilla.	00:38:46
	But I thought the city had to make a decision on whether or not we.	00:38:53
	Would try to accommodate them.	00:38:56
	Oh, OK.	00:39:04
	I believe I believe tech is accommodating them right now.	00:39:07
	You just have to put it on this weekend and it is open.	00:39:10
	I think at the time.	00:39:13
	They didn't know if it was going to be open.	00:39:14
	And one thing to keep in mind is if we spend the hour, we're going to have to find more lifeguards and we're having a hard time	00:39:16
	finding them.	00:39:19
	I brought up the lines on Pinon, they're doing the sewer and I had brought it up last time and.	00:39:26
	Lloyd and the crew got out there and got that done for I think 6 or 8 or.	00:39:32
	My neighbors there in the area that we've just had constantly.	00:39:35
	They did it so just.	00:39:38
	All the members were grateful.	00:39:40
	Thankful to the city for getting some.	00:39:41
	Thanks for taking care of that one. If he's laughing or crying or he's looking at.	00:39:44
	I just was worried that if it got paid.	00:39:49
	And then there's leaks underneath that we're gonna be digging it up so.	00:39:51
	They took care of it quickly.	00:39:53
	And we appreciate it. So thank you.	00:39:54
	So, Lloyd, have you heard anything about that flood?	00:39:57
	That the head on that street.	00:40:00
	Because the royal Arroyo had been.	00:40:02
	Closed off.	00:40:04
	Good, good. So you are going to.	00:40:10
	There is something that needs to get opened up or.	00:40:14
	OK.	00:40:17
	We're going to meet with.	00:40:19
	Lieutenant Governor Morales tomorrow.	00:40:21
	At about one, you're welcome to come.	00:40:24
	He'll be here at City Hall.	00:40:27
	But it's specifically.	00:40:28
	To try to finish up Finley Gym.	00:40:30
	To try to see if he can.	00:40:34
	Look at some money.	00:40:35
	For be about 1,000,003.	00:40:37
	To finish it up.	00:40:40
	So he was kind enough to actually he.	00:40:41
	Yeah, I was just talking about him, something about the root dose of floods and stuff and he.	00:40:44
	About Kenny, what can you do? What can I do? And because he was.	00:40:49
	He was on board from day one along with Representative Tripp.	00:40:52
	For the rodeo.	00:40:56
	When we started the whole process of building.	00:40:58
	And very thankful to him for being our senator and.	00:41:01
	Always looking out for us and he's help with a.	00:41:04
	Police station also so maybe he can help us with family gym.	00:41:06
	So that's where that's at.	00:41:10
	OK.	00:41:12
	Anything you guys want to volunteer?	00:41:15
	The.	00:41:18
	Come on, Steve, Come on.	00:41:20
	No, not a thing.	00:41:23
	Oh, OK. Oh, OK.	00:41:24
	You have to stand up, didn't you?	00:41:40
	Romero.	00:41:43
	Somebody was asking.	00:41:46
	Have a kind of a big canopy?	00:41:50
	And so.	00:41:53
	OK.	00:41:58
	Even the.	00:42:03
	Thank you.	00:42:07
	Thank you, Lord.	00:42:08
	Mr. Massaro.	00:42:10
	From also we have.	00:42:22
	Said we would accept 100 tons.	00:42:24
	A day with they do send some stuff to.	00:42:26
	And the landfill, yeah, it's been doing pretty well.	00:42:29
	A clean up.	00:42:35
	I see there's.	00:42:37
	Washing machines and dryers sitting out on people's curbs.	00:42:38
	Are we supposed to be those up?	00:42:43
	OK, OK.	00:42:46
	Well, good. I'm glad you made that decision on your own.	00:43:12
	That's gonna cost me money too.	00:43:22
	Anyway, so I got a question.	00:43:25
	On refrigerators.	00:43:27
	Do we accept refrigerators?	00:43:31
	I know so.	00:43:38
	Out there and we don't want the ones with the freon and I'm.	00:43:41
	And I don't care what you do with them, but I don't want, we don't want them.	00:43:44
	So that's important.	00:43:48
	They check it when you go there because the other one so they ask if you can get.	00:43:51
	They do, they look at.	00:43:57
	They're doing a job for sure.	00:43:59
	But anyway, but that those are.	00:44:01
	Thank you. Let me.	00:44:02
	Yeah, and the lights, Mike, are they doing OK?	00:44:04
	Grass, Lloyd, The grass is a little bit up in it.	00:44:08
	Call the middle.	00:44:11
	$1000 that.	00:44:20
	Wow, and the school that user feels.	00:44:21
	It's you.	00:44:26
	If we could get someone through a group of lights, move.	00:44:28
	They'd like to move the high school baseball field.	00:44:31
	The City of Park and.	00:44:34
	One field.	00:44:39
	I can hear him. I got my hearing aids on this guy.	00:44:43
	No, wait, are you talking about the?	00:44:47
	And that they would, really.	00:44:50
	So, uh.	00:44:52
	We should have thought it, we should have slowed it down a little bit.	00:44:53
	It's not working out at the high school, so they would really have liked to use the needle park and they would put a lot of money	00:44:58
	into Studio Park.	00:45:01
	Which I don't know if you go there during the week, Michael, I mean, it's packed.	00:45:04
	The Deal Park Back Boys. But it's a great place to have it. No, I know it's a lot.	00:45:08
	If we could, and if the schools could come up with the money, it would be good to move a few of those lights.	00:45:13
	And.	00:45:17
	Those are, oh, they could be moved. It's not you don't think a few of them, Three of them.	00:45:20
	We wouldn't pay to move them, wouldn't we?	00:45:25
	It wouldn't be. We could move on and have a hardball field there. We should have done it.	00:45:28
	We decided not to do it.	00:45:31
	Well, but.	00:45:33
	I didn't run it, might be worth doing it and.	00:45:34
	And don't, don't make that decision. Let them come and talk.	00:45:37
	No, no, I got services in America. I mean, I don't mind.	00:45:41
	I don't mind them having a hardball field, but the question is how much is going to cost to move them and.	00:45:45
	Set up the field we shouldn't.	00:45:49
	Bear the cost of OK.	00:45:51
	Well, that's great. I don't mind doing that.	00:45:54
	No, it's a great.	00:45:56
	People love to come down here.	00:45:57
	All the parking lots are full.	00:45:59
	That's great, really good.	00:46:01
	Mr. Mayor, Mr.	00:46:03
	Who said that, Donald? The high school baseball field is in terrible shape. It's got clumpy grass, kind of like some of our city	00:46:04
	will park areas.	00:46:08
	But go ahead, yes?	00:46:12
	We'd love to work with them.	00:46:15
	It's just the finances of it.	00:46:17
	So they're having the same issue. Ours is in better shape than theirs.	00:46:20
