Roswell meetings outline $37.25M infrastructure plan, Air Center drainage vote, and property deals
Roswell's City Council and advisory committees laid out a packed agenda in late June, including a five-year infrastructure plan totaling $37.25 million in priority projects and a $1.85 million proposed allocation for Air Center drainage. All recent meetings listed below are agenda-only — minutes have not yet been published, so items reflect what was scheduled for consideration, not confirmed outcomes.
City Council: Five-Year Infrastructure Plan
The City Council's June 25 agenda included adoption of the Fiscal Year 2028-2032 Infrastructure Capital Improvements Plan (ICIP), which identifies high-priority projects to be submitted to the State of New Mexico for funding opportunities. The plan lists five projects:
- Flood damage repairs, city-wide — $15,000,000
- Large Pipe Replacement — $10,000,000
- Water Transmission Pipes Replacement — $9,500,000
- Small Pipe Replacement — $2,500,000
- City Hall Deferred Maintenance — $250,000
The ICIP is a planning document that sets priorities for state funding requests; it does not itself allocate city funds.
Legal Committee: Property Sales, Lease, and Master Plan
Also on June 25, the Legal Committee agenda included several property transactions and policy items:
- Sale of Hangar 91 at 99 Will Rogers Rd for $250,000
- Adoption of the 2026 City of Roswell Comprehensive Master Plan
- Purchase sale agreement for 212 E 12th St
- 1-year lease for Reno Air Racing Association Inc at Roswell Air Center
- Ordinance to amend City Council compensation structure
No vote tallies are available because minutes have not been published.
Finance Committee: Air Center Drainage, Museum Conservation, First Response Center Design
The July 1 Finance Committee agenda included action items on several budget adjustments and purchase orders:
- Vote on $1,850,000 for site grading and drainage at the Air Center
- Consider $595,675 purchase order for conservation of 291 collection items
- Consider $500,000 budget for design of the Roswell First Response Center
- Consider $269,115 budget adjustment for three dispatcher positions
