City Commission Special Meeting 6-4-2026

The City of Alamogordo held a special City Commission meeting on June 4, 2026, primarily focused on the golf course management contract and related procurement issues. Public comments highlighted concerns about staffing shortages in city maintenance and wastewater treatment, as well as opposition to perceived rushed contract decisions regarding the golf course. The commission discussed the golf course Request for Proposal (RFP), including whether to separate maintenance and operations as bid alternates. After clarifications from staff and procurement officials, the commission voted unanimously to proceed with the RFP as currently drafted, which includes both operations and maintenance without alternates. The meeting also addressed the extension of the existing golf course management contract, with staff authorized to extend it as needed. No new staffing or equipment budget allocations for the golf course were approved in the current fiscal year. The meeting concluded with a closed session on city manager recruitment and pending litigation, with no actions taken.
