City Commission Regular Meeting 6-23-2026

The City of Alamogordo held a regular City Commission meeting on June 23, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were discussed. Key procurement topics included a presentation on the downtown economic development and capital outlay projects by Alamogordo Main Street, highlighting over $5.5 million in public investment and $1 million in grant funding supporting downtown revitalization. A significant agenda item was the proposal for the Sacramento Springs multifamily housing project by EDC Construction, which included a request for a seven-year property tax abatement to offset flood zone construction costs. The commission also considered and approved a change order of $83,068.08 for the installation of new apparatus bay doors at a fire station, addressing a procurement issue where the original RFP purchase order was denied, necessitating a change order to keep the work under one contract. Additionally, the commission approved a city manager agreement with Robert Stockwell amid public concerns about the hiring process transparency. The meeting included approval of a resolution adopting the Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) for 2028-2032, prioritizing capital outlay projects, and a resolution to remove uncollectible accounts from city receivables, with some accounts pulled for further review. The meeting concluded with an executive session on pending litigation.
