# Albuquerque City Council Meeting - November 2, 2026

The Albuquerque City Council’s November 2, 2026 meeting included several capital and infrastructure discussions. The administration reported that design work is underway for a safe outdoor space at the westside shelter, with a little over $900,000 in capital funding identified to begin a phased project. For a sidewalk on Blake Road, the city cited a contractor estimate of $1.3 million against $50,000 currently available in capital outlay funding. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reported that the council had allocated $80,000 for park activation and called for more funding for park operations and maintenance; it also said its application for a state Healthy Soils grant for erosion at Pat Hurley Park was unsuccessful. Councilors discussed lower participation at senior-center breakfasts after price increases, with staff tracking participation and offering to provide the data and information on a waiver program.

The council unanimously approved R74, authorizing a short-term South Campus Tax Increment Development District bond of up to $160,000 for public infrastructure, with a larger long-term bond anticipated in 2027 as revenues grow. A motion to suspend the rules and place capital-appropriation resolution R2678 on the agenda passed unanimously, but the transcript does not provide its details or show final action on it. During public comment, a speaker alleged that APD pays Paragrin Technologies $639,000 annually for surveillance-related subscription software and urged the council to stop automatic renewal; no council action on that contract is recorded. Other actions included approval of an ordinance establishing a process for periodic Integrated Development Ordinance updates and an 8–1 vote to amend council rules on proclamations.
