Governing Body Committee Meeting 10-28-26

The City of Santa Fe Governing Body’s regular meeting on October 28, 2026, approved a $175,000 budget adjustment from gross receipts tax revenues for FY2027 Complete Streets construction work. The funding supports repairs to approximately 0.7 miles of Cerrillos Road east of St. Francis Drive, coordinated with an NMDOT asphalt project; the governing body voted to approve the adjustment. The body also approved the FY2025 HUD Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, which reported $875,415 in expenditures. A separate ordinance concerning a $2.55 million Water Project Fund loan/grant for the city water utility received public comment, but no final action on it appears in the transcript.

Other topics included the city’s CARE crisis-response program, with staff describing revised dispatch protocols, defined roles, EMT training, and performance tracking; the weekend tornado response and a planned emergency meeting to consider extending the emergency proclamation; and a public hearing on rezoning parcels near Boland Circle and Lane to mixed use, which continues beyond the available transcript. Public commenters also raised concerns about nuclear weapons production and housing and appeal processes.
