City of Socorro: City Council Meeting, May 21, 2026 @ 6:00 PM

The City of Socorro held a City Council meeting on May 21, 2026, which included several procurement and zoning-related discussions. Key procurement-related items included the approval of updates to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) spending framework, reallocating approximately $8.5 million in pandemic recovery funds across various city projects such as water and stormwater improvements, citywide trails, surface transportation, public health, community wellness, and police department vehicles. The council also discussed multiple zoning amendments, including rezoning properties from residential to commercial or vice versa to accommodate existing triplexes, single-family homes, and commercial developments. One commercial rezoning request was postponed to allow further review of parking and traffic concerns related to a proposed roundabout. Additionally, the council appointed two members to the city's investment committee to oversee investment practices. Motions to approve the ARPA spending framework and zoning amendments were passed, while the commercial rezoning was tabled for further consideration. No new policy changes affecting procurement were reported.
