# Governing Body Committee Meeting 11-10-2026

At the City of Santa Fe Governing Body regular meeting on November 10, 2026, staff presented a feasibility study on the Salvador Perez Pool, closed since March after a motor failure. The roughly 70-year-old facility is beyond its expected useful life and would require substantial work to meet current safety, accessibility, and pool-code requirements. Estimated options were $500,000–$800,000 for repairs that would not bring the pool into compliance, $4.5–$5 million for a remodel with an estimated 15–20 years of service, or a full replacement costing about 5% more than a remodel and potentially serving for 40–50 years. Staff said the governing body was not being asked to approve a project at this meeting; a request for $261,000 to begin design is expected at the December meeting. The city noted the project is on its ICIP list and described pursuing state appropriations and potentially regional funding. Design and construction together were estimated at about 18 months.

The governing body also approved a correction of non-substantive errors in the land development code. Two bills were introduced: one to repeal the city’s obsolete Civil Defense Council provision and another to add the Santa Fe Pride Festival to the category of major commercial events permitted on the Plaza. No pool funding or construction contract was approved at this meeting. A councilor also reported that the North Central Regional Transit District had acquired electric and hybrid buses for its regional service; no city purchasing action was taken on those vehicles.
