# Valencia County's BOCC 10-21-26

Valencia County Board of County Commissioners business meeting, October 21, 2026. The commission approved the October indigent-services activity, including an $89,598.50 monthly payment to Roadrunner Health Services under the detention-center medical contract; the transcript’s other indigent-claim totals are garbled. Commissioners also heard an update on a community Wi-Fi project being pursued through grants, IT infrastructure replacement, cybersecurity improvements, and a planned county website. A commissioner reported that down-payment assistance had provided $30,000 to 60 residents in each of two funding rounds, serving 120 families overall. No new procurement award or solicitation was clearly identified; the detention-center item was tabled until later in the year.

The commission considered New Mexico Counties’ 2027 legislative priorities, including detention reimbursement, 700 MHz radios, and recognizing EMS as an essential government service, but the transcript does not capture a vote on the resolution. Commissioners approved appointments of road viewers related to a subdivision-road vacation and Marble Corey Road, and approved a property easement. Public comments focused heavily on the proposed Los Lunas Boulevard expansion, with residents urging comparison of existing-road improvements, costs, property impacts, and environmental effects; no construction or funding decision on that project was recorded.
