R-26-59: Approving And Authorizing The Acceptance And Use Of Grant Funds From The State Of New Mexico Department Of Health For A Mosquito Surveillance Program And Providing An Appropriation To The Environmental Health Department In Fiscal Year 2026 And 2027 (Bassan, by request)Resolution R-26-59 authorizes Albuquerque to accept $131,139 from the New Mexico Department of Health and appropriate it to the Environmental Health Department’s Operating Grants Fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The funding supports the Urban Biology Division and Vector Control Program in expanding mosquito trapping and arbovirus testing in Albuquerque, unincorporated Bernalillo County, and the East Mountains. Up to three seasonal employees may be hired, with mosquitoes identified and submitted to UNM for pathogen testing. The City will also train and assist partners in Valencia, Cibola, Sandoval, Socorro, and Torrance counties. The grant requires no local matching funds and runs through June 30, 2027. It matters because surveillance data can guide mosquito-control decisions and improve awareness of disease risks, including West Nile virus and other arboviruses.EC-26-213: Revenue & Expense Report for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026EC-26-213 is Albuquerque’s FY26 third-quarter revenue and expense report, submitted to inform the City Council as required by Budget Ordinance Section 2-11-18 ROA 1994. It creates no new spending or revenue and requires no approval-related funding. The report projects General Fund revenue of approximately $871.4 million, slightly below the approved budget, while projected expenses are $884.5 million, about $11.1 million over budget. Revenue outlooks are generally positive for gross receipts and property taxes, but negative for permits and miscellaneous income; economic uncertainty remains a risk. Other funds include projected increases for automated speed enforcement, aviation, and refuse disposal, while senior services, roads, parking, and fleet revenues are below budget. The report supports public oversight and future budget adjustments.EC-26-214: Approval and authorization of the grant application to FEMA from the Albuquerque Fire Rescue DepartmentEC-26-214 authorizes the City of Albuquerque to apply for FEMA funding to recruit, hire, and train 12 additional Albuquerque Fire Rescue (AFR) firefighters and EMTs. The proposed grant would support wages and benefits totaling $2.11 million over three years, while the City would provide approximately $1.46 million in matching funds and cover $535,376 in indirect costs. The additional personnel are intended to improve AFR’s operational capacity, response efficiency, and safety for residents and emergency crews during time-sensitive incidents. The legislation does not create a revenue source. If it is not approved, AFR’s staffing and response capabilities would remain unchanged, and any expansion would need to be funded through the City budget.EC-26-215: Filing Application for FY26 Defense Community Infrastructure Program GrantEC-26-215 authorizes Albuquerque to apply for up to $4,267,727 through the federal FY26 Defense Community Infrastructure Program and seek up to $1,831,601 in state matching funds. The proposed $6,099,328 project would improve three major corridors leading to Kirtland Air Force Base. Work would include transportation safety and speed-management measures, updated traffic signals, fiber-optic infrastructure, and traffic-management technology. The local match is currently proposed from General Obligation Bonds but could be reduced or replaced by state funds. The project affects military and civilian personnel, contractors, visitors, and nearby residents. It involves a partnership among the City, Kirtland Air Force Base, and the Kirtland Partnership Committee, and would generate no revenue. Without approval, the City could forfeit federal funding and lose the opportunity to address documented safety and operational problems.EC-26-216: Q4 FY26 ABQ RIDE Quarterly Security Report with APD, ACS, and Metro Security DataEC-26-216 submits ABQ RIDE’s Q4 FY26 security report to the Albuquerque City Council under Ordinance O-22-47. It requires APD, Albuquerque Community Safety, Metro Security, and Transit to report quarterly calls involving buses, Sun Van vehicles, stops, and transit centers, categorized by incident type, agency, route, and location, while incorporating demographic reporting and researching safety improvements. For April–June 2026, agencies recorded 5,164 calls, including 4,456 proactive and 708 reactive calls; 61 were Class A incidents. Ridership rose 6% to about 2 million boardings, while serious incidents remained about 3 per 100,000 rides. The report involves no additional city cost and promotes public transparency and oversight.EC-26-217: Fast Housing Program ReportEC-26-217 is a City Council-requested report on Albuquerque’s Fast Housing Program, created under Resolution R-24-22. It documents housing projects that received expedited permitting or prioritized development review at no additional cost to applicants. The report lists 56 active permits, including single-family homes, accessory dwelling units, apartment buildings, adaptive-reuse projects, and mixed-use developments; 10 permits that expired; and 30 projects completed and approved through final inspections. Active projects range from individual homes to developments adding hundreds of units. The communication does not authorize spending, generate revenue, or approve a new project. It provides transparency on how expedited housing legislation is being implemented and the status of projects affected by it.EC-26-219: Mayor's appointment of Clarice Honahnie to the Commission on American Indian and Alaska Native AffairsEC-26-219 is identified only by its reference number in the provided document, with no accompanying text or legislative details.

The designation appears to be an executive communication or related city filing, but the document text supplied contains no title, explanation, proposed action, sponsor, legal authority, fiscal information, or status. Without the underlying document or additional identifying details, it is not possible to accurately summarize what the measure does, whom it affects, or how it would change access to government information. Please provide the full text, title, or a link to EC-26-222 for a factual summary.EC-26-223: Appointment of Joshua D.

Four additional cases below $10,000 totaled $21,560.09, including IPRA-related claims. The report also lists numerous City victories, including dismissals, affirmed judgments, and cases resolved without City payment. It has no separate project cost or revenue source.EC-26-226: Mayor's appointment of Dr. Mindy J. Brown to the Para Transit Advisory BoardEC-26-226 is an executive communication associated with the City of Albuquerque, but the document text provided contains only its identifier and no substantive legislative language. As a result, its purpose, provisions, affected parties, legal effect, and policy implications cannot be determined from the available information. The identifier alone does not explain whether the matter concerns funding, appointments, contracts, administrative action, or another municipal issue. Access to the full communication or its accompanying materials is necessary to accurately summarize how it relates to Albuquerque government and residents.EC-26-227: Mayor's appointment of Mr. Evan J. Sandoval to the Para Transit Advisory BoardEC-26-227 is identified only by its filing number in the provided text; no legislative language or accompanying details are included. As a result, its purpose, requirements, affected parties, implementation, and relevance to public access to City of Albuquerque government information cannot be determined from this document alone. A complete summary would require the resolution or executive communication’s full text, including its title, provisions, sponsoring authority, and any references to transparency, records, data publication, or public participation.EC-26-228: Mayor's appointment of Mr. George T.M. Dietrich, III to the Transit Advisory BoardEC-26-228 is identified only by its designation in the provided text; no legislative title, description, provisions, sponsor, or implementation information is included. As a result, its purpose, affected parties, requirements, fiscal impact, and relationship to public access to City of Albuquerque government information cannot be determined from this document alone.

The Aviation Department may use the firm to support large capital projects, including airfield, terminal, technology, safety, security, asset-management, compliance, funding, construction, and commissioning work. The contract is expected to run four years, with a possible one-year extension, and will be billed at proposed hourly rates using Aviation’s capital fund; no revenue is expected. The federally funded RFP received one proposal, and Burns & McDonnell scored 821.6 points. Approval would supplement City staff capacity for a planned, multiyear aviation capital program; without it, Aviation staff would manage all projects internally. The procurement follows the City’s Public Purchases Ordinance and federal requirements.R-26-62: Adopting An Amendment To The Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Comprehensive Plan To Extend The Main Street Corridor Designation From Wyoming Boulevard To Tramway Boulevard (Grout and Rogers, by request)Resolution R-26-62 would amend the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Comprehensive Plan to extend the Main Street Corridor designation along Central Avenue from Wyoming Boulevard to Tramway Boulevard, ending at the Four Hills Village Activity Center. The change affects future development, redevelopment, and public investment along this approximately three-mile East Gateway corridor. It would allow 2026 Integrated Development Ordinance Main Street standards and incentives to guide walkable, mixed-use, transit-supportive projects, while limiting incompatible uses. The amendment supports existing Route 66, East Gateway, and Vision Zero plans, emphasizing local businesses, housing, pedestrian and bicycle safety, transit, adaptive reuse, and economic reinvestment. It creates no direct City cost or revenue.EC-26-231: Mayor's appointment of Ms. Lauren Shedivy to the Youth Advisory CouncilEC-26-231 appears to be an Albuquerque City Council executive communication or legislation identifier, but the document text provided contains only the reference number and no substantive content.

The City received 10,083 requests, including 7,756 involving APD, while APD requests rose 32% from the prior year. Video and body-camera requests—particularly from commercial or monetized media—created significant processing demands. The City closed 42% of requests within 20 days, digitized 325,000 records, and reported a backlog of 1,719 requests supported by 28 dedicated staff. The report states that annual requests have grown from about 4,500 in FY2017 to 21,705 in FY2026. It identifies gaps in IPRA regarding commercial requesters and modern digital records, emphasizing the need to evaluate whether the law keeps pace with public access demands.EC-26-235: Mayor's appointment of Erik M.

It affects Councilors, committees, City staff, news organizations, and residents seeking to attend or monitor public business. Full Council meetings generally occur at 5 p.m. on the first and third Mondays at the Vincent E. Griego Chambers, with virtual viewing available when in-person meetings are impractical. Regular agendas must be finalized 72 hours in advance, while draft agendas should be posted five days prior when possible. Special and committee meetings require at least 72 hours’ notice; emergency meetings generally require 24 hours, subject to urgent circumstances. Notices must identify meeting details and agenda access, be posted in City facilities and online, and accommodate accessible formats and disability-related assistance. Changes or cancellations should be announced when possible.R-26-64: Setting The Official List Of City Council Meetings From January 2027 Through December 2027 (Peña)Resolution R-26-64 establishes Albuquerque’s official regular City Council meeting schedule for January through December 2027. It fulfills city law and Council rules requiring an annual calendar that avoids holidays and dates when a quorum may be unlikely, while allowing adjustments by later resolution. The schedule affects City Council members, city staff, residents, media, and anyone seeking to attend or participate in public meetings. Meetings are generally set twice monthly, with additional dates in May and no meeting listed for July. The resolution provides advance notice of when Council business and public proceedings are expected to occur, supporting public access, planning, and transparency in local government.EC-26-239: Mayor's appointment of Ms. Mia De La Rosa to the Youth Advisory CouncilEC-26-239 is identified only by its designation in the provided document; no legislative text, title, sponsor, subject, or action is included. As a result, its provisions, affected parties, and significance to the City of Albuquerque cannot be determined from this information alone. “EC” may indicate an executive communication, but that cannot be confirmed without the accompanying record. To provide an accurate public summary, the full document, agenda entry, or official City Council record for EC-26-239 is needed.EC-26-240: Early Head Start Quarterly Report for April 2026 through June 2026EC-26-240 is an informational Executive Communication presenting Albuquerque’s Early Head Start quarterly report for April–June 2026. It requires no approval, cost, or City revenue; the federally funded program is administered by the City’s Youth & Family Services Division. The report covers compliance, finances, enrollment, attendance, health, education, family services, and governance. Enrollment declined from 40 to 19 of 64 funded slots, while attendance remained below the 85% federal benchmark. In April, the City decided to relinquish the federal grant at the end of FY26 and transition services to state-funded Pre-K and preschool programs. Staff coordinated family transitions, inventories, and service continuity, including partnerships with other providers. The report also formally documents dissolution of the Early Head Start committee.EC-26-241: Notification of a grant application submitted by the Aviation Department to the New Mexico Economic Development Department for funding through the Site Readiness Fund programEC-26-241 notifies the Albuquerque City Council that the Aviation Department applied for a $100,000 New Mexico Economic Development Department Site Readiness Fund grant. The funding would pay for engineering and design of electric, gas, water, wastewater, stormwater, and telecommunications utilities serving a proposed heliport and an adjacent 130-acre parcel at Double Eagle II Airport. The City would provide $18,750 in matching funds from the Aviation Department’s Capital Fund 613. The project affects airport operations, prospective aviation and commercial tenants, and future development at DEII. It is intended to reduce conflicts between helicopter and fixed-wing activity, improve site readiness, and support future jobs, investment, and revenue. Design is expected to take six to nine months; delaying approval could postpone development and require multiple-year funding.EC-26-242: Mayor’s Recommendation of Award RIN Credit Management for Renewable Natural GasEC-26-242 recommends that Albuquerque authorize STX Commodities, LLC to manage Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits generated through ABQ Ride’s compressed natural gas fleet. Using a virtual “book-and-claim” model, STX would source equivalent renewable natural gas, handle federal registration, reporting, audits, credit sales, and compliance, without changing the City’s fueling infrastructure. The contract is expected to run three years, with up to three one-year extensions. No direct cost is identified; STX would share credit revenue with the Transit Operating Fund, with $250,000 budgeted in non-transportation revenue and higher estimates possible. If rejected, General Fund support for transit may increase. STX ranked first among eight evaluated proposals with 923.6 points. The procurement follows the City’s Public Purchases Ordinance, and related records are generally subject to public inspection laws.EC-26-243: Lease Agreement between Harmony Road Recovery and the City of Albuquerque at 5400 Gibson Blvd SEEC-26-243 would authorize Albuquerque’s Health, Housing, and Homelessness Department to lease approximately 577 square feet at 5400 Gibson Blvd. SE to Harmony Road Recovery, a Texas company. The space would support outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment and recovery services, which the document says are not otherwise provided by another entity. The one-year lease would run from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with up to four one-year renewals subject to compliance and City consent. Rent would be $11,540 annually, increasing 3% per renewal, generating revenue without City project costs. City Council approval is required.R-26-65: Approving And Authorizing The Acceptance Of Grant Funds From A New Mexico State Tourism Department Destination Forward Grant And Providing An Appropriation To The Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency In Fiscal Year 2027 (Baca, by request)The resolution authorizes Albuquerque’s Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency (MRA) to accept and appropriate a $121,440 New Mexico Tourism Department Destination Forward grant for Fiscal Year 2027. The funds will support the first installation phase of a downtown wayfinding system, including directional signs, pedestrian maps, banners, lighting and murals. The system will organize downtown into five branded districts and help residents and visitors find parking, lodging, businesses, cultural sites and transportation. The project affects downtown businesses, property owners, residents and visitors, and is intended to improve accessibility, encourage walking and tourism, and support redevelopment. The grant partially funds an estimated $264,000 project; the MRA plans an 8% bond-funded match and must secure remaining funds.R-26-66: Approving And Authorizing The Acceptance Of Grant Funds From The New Mexico Office Of Broadband Access And Expansion For The ARPA Community Wi-Fi Parks Project; And Appropriating Funds To The Department Of Technology And Innovation (Baca, Bassan, Rogers, by request)Resolution R-26-66 authorizes Albuquerque’s Department of Technology and Innovation to accept and administer a $927,485.13 grant from the New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion for the ARPA Community Wi-Fi Parks Project. Funds would be appropriated in Fiscal Year 2027 without requiring a City match to design, install, test, and operate free public Wi-Fi at Phil Chacon Park, Tiguex Park, Old Town Plaza, Mesa Verde Park, and North Domingo Baca Park. The project may include wireless equipment, broadband connections, fiber, electrical and backup power systems, construction, and related services. It would benefit residents and visitors by improving access to education, employment, government services, health information, and emergency communications. The department must follow cybersecurity, privacy, accessibility, procurement, reporting, and grant requirements. If funding is reduced, project scope or sequencing may be adjusted.OC-26-17: Appointment of Candidate to the Board of EthicsOC-26-17 informs the Albuquerque City Council of a vacancy on the Board of Ethics following the resignation of Council appointee Susan Selbin. Under the City Charter, the Council and Mayor each appoint three members, who select a seventh member as chair. The Board investigates alleged violations of the City’s Code of Ethics, Election Code, Open and Ethical Elections Code, and related rules. Council will choose between city residents and registered voters Tim L. Allen and Bruce R. Roach through preferential balloting; the candidate with the lowest score wins, with a runoff required in case of a tie. The appointee will serve the remainder of Selbin’s term, ending July 31, 2027. Resumes describe Allen’s Navy, construction, and facilities-management experience and Roach’s finance, operations, project-management, and government-contracting background.R-26-67: Adjusting Appropriations In C/S R-26-17, The Fiscal Year 2027 Operating Budget To Revise Funding For Positions In The Transit Department And Vehicles For The Planning Department (Grout)City Council Bill R-26-67 adjusts Albuquerque’s Fiscal Year 2027 operating budget to correct transfer appropriations accidentally omitted from the adopted budget, C/S R-26-17. It adds $680,000 to the Transit Department’s ABQ Ride operating budget, funded by an equivalent reduction in the General Fund transfer. The resolution also appropriates $280,000 from the General Fund for vehicles for the Planning Department’s capital program. The measure primarily affects city departments, budget administration, and the funds supporting transit and planning services. It matters because it aligns the enacted budget with intended funding levels and formally authorizes the Council-approved corrections. A severability clause preserves the remaining provisions if any part is invalidated.R-26-68: Appropriating Funding Provided By The State Of New Mexico Department Of Workforce Solutions To The Gizmo Arts Recovery Housing Project In City Council District 2 (Baca, by request)Resolution R-26-68 appropriates $650,000 in state funding received through a City–New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions agreement for the GIZMO Arts Recovery Housing Project in Council District 2. The money will help renovate the downtown GIZMO building into five affordable residential units for households earning no more than 80% of area median income, with affordability maintained for 20 years. Golden Forward is the qualified grantee, and the City’s Department of Health, Housing and Homelessness must ensure compliance with state and local requirements. The funding addresses a documented construction gap and requires progress reporting, expenditure documentation, inspections, and performance tracking. If not approved, the project would lose the state allocation and retain a significant financing shortfall.EC-26-245: Veto Of O-26-54, Amending ROA 1994, Chapter 2, Article 7, Part 2, Related To The City Attorney And The City Legal Department And Repealing Section 3-2-5 Of The Code Of ResolutionsEC-26-245 is identified only by its designation in the provided text; no legislative title, contents, sponsor, date, or action are included. Therefore, its purpose, affected parties, and implications for access to City of Albuquerque government information cannot be determined from this document alone. Additional material—such as the executive communication, proposed resolution or ordinance, committee analysis, or official docket entry—is needed to explain what the legislation would do, who it would affect, and how it relates to transparency, public records, data access, or civic participation.OC-26-18: Albuquerque City Council Legislative Program for the First Session of the 58th Session of the New Mexico State LegislatureOC-26-18 presents the Albuquerque City Council’s proposed legislative and capital-outlay program for the first session of New Mexico’s 58th Legislature in 2027. The requests seek state funding, laws, and services affecting residents citywide and within individual council districts. Capital projects include affordable housing, parks, libraries, community centers, fire stations, roads, drainage, lighting, transit, pedestrian and bicycle safety, open-space facilities, and cultural amenities. Legislative priorities include food access, housing stability, neighborhood revitalization, behavioral-health services, immigrant and domestic-violence protections, transit funding, greenhouse-gas reductions, data-center regulation, fireworks restrictions, impact-fee updates, and stronger protections for vulnerable road users. The program also supports a constitutional “Green Amendment” and authorizing local metal-recycling transaction reporting to help address theft. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee forwarded the proposals without recommendation for full Council review; they are requests, not enacted law.EC-26-246: 2027 Administration Priority Capital and Policy RequestsEC-26-246 transmits the Albuquerque Administration’s capital, operational, housing, and policy priorities for the 2027 New Mexico Legislative Session, as required by City Ordinance O-24-35. The communication does not request Council approval; Council only records receipt. It seeks state support for completing or launching parks, libraries, pools, rail trails, public safety facilities, and community centers, along with major investments in affordable and transitional housing, behavioral health, homelessness services, and crime-lab operations. Proposed operational requests include $150 million for housing, recovery, and stability; $50 million for housing stability; $50 million for local-government stabilization; and $3 million for the crime lab over three years. Policy priorities address crime, gun violence, courts, behavioral health, youth violence, and roadway safety. These requests could affect city services, infrastructure, public safety, and housing availability, but funding would depend on state legislative action.R-26-69: Appropriation Of Opioid Settlement Funds (Rogers, by request)Resolution R-26-69 would appropriate $5.2 million in opioid settlement funds during Fiscal Year 2027 through the City’s LG Abatement Fund 201. The Department of Health, Housing and Homelessness would receive the funding for four efforts: $2 million to create a new treatment-navigation and assessment function within the Gateway System of Care; $1.4 million for the Medical Sobering Center; $300,000 for recovery housing; and $1.5 million for Albuquerque Public Schools’ second-year Opioid Crossroads prevention and intervention program. The legislation targets residents with opioid or related substance-use disorders, including people needing treatment, housing, recovery support, or connections to care, as well as APS students. It implements priorities established in R-25-128 and is intended to expand evidence-based treatment access, overdose prevention, and continuity of care.

This funding is specifically designated for the addition of a bunk room at Fire Station 11, which is among the busiest stations in the country. The resolution underscores the need for safe and functional living conditions for firefighters, who often work extended shifts.

This ordinance aims to refund existing Series 2015A and 2016C bonds, taking advantage of lower interest rates to restructure the city's debt service and save approximately $300,000 annually, totaling around $2.9 million in net present value savings. The bonds will be secured by state-shared gross receipts tax revenues, ensuring a dedicated revenue stream for repayment. If the financing is not approved, the city risks incurring higher costs without the potential savings from this restructuring initiative. This legislation is crucial for maintaining financial efficiency and reducing overall debt service
