City of Socorro: City Council Meeting, November 5, 2026 @ 6:00 PM

The City of Socorro City Council meeting on November 5, 2026, approved an amendment to the city’s ARPA spending framework that reallocates funds among existing projects, including an approximately $163,288 amendment to the SkyReach contract. The change does not increase the city’s $8.5 million ARPA allocation; its net financial impact is zero. Council also approved RFP 2605 for grant administration services to GrantWorks, Inc. for $55,400, contingent on the city receiving a 2027 Texas Community Development Block Grant. GrantWorks scored 87, compared with 62.25 for the other proposer, Langford Community Management Services.

Council authorized a purchase of 60 pre-owned Taser 7 devices and related equipment from Accredited Security for an amount not to exceed $121,970.40, using federal grant funding. It also approved awarding building inspection and plan review services to Michelle Ventures Inc., DBA Vision Consultants Inc., and authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute an agreement; no contract amount was stated. The council discussed an inventory of city-owned surplus properties and possible sales or retention, but took no disposition action at this meeting.
