Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Alamogordo public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
FY2026 Fourth Quarter Financial Report
State law requires the commission to certify the final numbers for the fiscal year that just ended. The report shows the city ended FY2026 with roughly $109.8 million in cash and investments.
Revised budget approval from the state
Resolution 2026-37 would send the city's revised budget numbers as of October 27, 2026 to the state for approval. It's routine housekeeping, but the budget underlies every city service residents rely on.
Preliminary FY2027 City Budget
The Commission considers asking the state for interim approval to adopt the preliminary 2026-2027 budget, plus a resolution on revised budget numbers — the roadmap for next year's city services and spending.
Airport FY 2027 rates and fees
The Commission was scheduled to approve next fiscal year's rates and fees at the Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport.
Five-year infrastructure priorities (ICIP)
Resolution 2026-22 was set to lock in the city's capital wishlist and its top five projects for 2028-2032 — the list the state uses when awarding infrastructure grants.
Uncollectible accounts write-off
The commission was asked to clear uncollectible utility, library, and other accounts from the books — routine housekeeping that acknowledges revenue the city likely won't collect.
NMFA loan and subsidy agreement of $3,083,455 (Ordinance 1725)
The commission was scheduled to consider a loan and subsidy agreement worth about $3.08 million with the New Mexico Finance Authority, following a public hearing. This is a significant city debt/financing commitment.
City vehicle replacement program
A discussion on how the city replaces its aging fleet of vehicles — with cost, maintenance, and budget implications for city services.
On-call HVAC maintenance services for city buildings
A re-bid contract for heating, cooling and refrigeration repair at city facilities was set to be awarded to two vendors, keeping city buildings operational.
