Special BCC Meeting - Jun 26 2026

The Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners held a special meeting on June 26, 2026, focused on the county's Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP) and capital budget requests. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation of a five-year capital and maintenance budget plan, funding strategies involving general obligation and revenue bonds, and prioritization of capital projects based on available resources. The board reviewed proposed revenue bonds for significant projects such as the adult detention facility expansion and the Pocky Basin Regional Water System. They also discussed the importance of prioritizing maintenance projects and the need for preliminary engineering reports to vet potential projects before inclusion in the ICIP. Several new capital projects and funding allocations were proposed, including water infrastructure improvements, housing initiatives, and utility system upgrades like smart meters and automated meter reading systems. The commissioners debated adding the Kenyatta de los Alamos mutual domestic water connection project and permanent supportive housing to the ICIP, emphasizing the need for strategic planning and legislative support. The meeting included public comments and concluded with a motion to adjourn, with plans to finalize the capital budget and ICIP in upcoming meetings.
