Summary
The City of Albuquerque's Council Bill R-26-13, sponsored by Brook Bassan, appropriates a portion of revenues from the Community Enhancement Municipal Gross Receipts Tax for municipal operational purposes. Specifically, 50% of these revenues will fund employee compensation adjustments and address deferred maintenance across municipal infrastructure, including facilities, streets, and parks. The resolution mandates that the City Administration develop comprehensive plans for employee compensation, deferred maintenance, and fee reductions for municipal services, with all proposals requiring City Council approval.
