Finance Committee Meeting 06-22-2026

The City of Santa Fe Finance Committee met on June 22, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement discussions included approval of a $51,179.80 contract amendment with the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe for event management services related to the city's 4th of July celebrations, reflecting additional costs due to a venue change. The committee also considered termination of a $7.9 million street outreach contract due to fiscal constraints, with ongoing efforts to develop a coordinated citywide encampment response strategy. A significant budget adjustment was approved, transferring $7,641,910 from the community development fund to the affordable housing trust fund, including funds from potential excise tax revenue. The committee reviewed and approved multiple amendments to the 2028-2032 Infrastructure Capital Improvements Plan (ICIP), including projects for pool maintenance, infrastructure improvements, drone equipment for public safety, fire truck purchases, and affordable housing projects. The committee discussed the inclusion of the Corrales Resource and Opportunity Center on the ICIP list, with concerns raised about organizational readiness and community impact; the motion to move this item forward was approved without recommendation. The meeting also addressed policy and procedural aspects of capital project submissions and emphasized the importance of transparent community engagement and fiscal responsibility in procurement decisions.
