City Commission Regular Meeting 3-24-2026

The City of Alamogordo held a regular City Commission meeting on March 24, 2026, which included extensive discussions on the management and maintenance of the Desert Lakes Golf Course. Three golf management companies—Maxim Golf, American Golf, and Keer Sports—presented their proposals, emphasizing the importance of unified control over golf course operations and maintenance to improve course conditions and financial performance. The commission debated the merits of including maintenance in the management contract and ultimately voted to issue a new Request for Proposals (RFP) that includes complete maintenance and operations of the golf course. Additionally, the meeting addressed the adoption of a loan agreement for $12 million to fund the construction of a municipal natatorium, with discussions on project costs, financing terms, and contingencies. The commission also appointed members to various local boards, including the Otto County Solid Waste Authority. The meeting featured public comments highlighting concerns about golf course management and community development updates. The procurement-related actions focused primarily on the golf course management contract and the natatorium loan agreement.
