2. Discussion of and direction to staff regarding Federal Fiscal Year 2018 Community
Development Block Grant ("CDBG") capital project funds (Terri Clashin) ---------------1
Action Requested of Council:
Provide input and give direction for allocating the CDBG funds for capital
projects.
Background/Rationale:
The CDBG grant award for Federal Fiscal Year 2018 (October 1, 2018 to
September 30, 2019) is $353,025. The funding available for capital
projects is $229,467.
Staff Recommendation:

Instructions Upon Approval:
No impact to the General Fund.
3. Adoption of Resolution No. 2018-1672 removing uncollectible and unsecured utility
accounts from the City's list of accounts receivable for calendar year 2013
(Nick i Parks) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2
Action Requested of Council:
Pursuant to our policy and in compliance with State Statutes, Council's
approval is required to write-off any inactive account that is aged over four
years and has a balance of more than one cent.
Background/Rationale:
Each year a list of all utility accounts over four years old with a balance due
is reviewed and processed for write-off. During that review, any bankrupt
accounts for which payments are being received or are expected to be
received are not written off.
Staff Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-1672 removing the uncollectible and unsecured
utility accounts from the City's accounts receivable in the approximate
amount of $96,473.72.
Instructions Upon Approval:
Proceed with aged inactive utility account write-offs for the period of
January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
4. Proposed ordinance amending Chapter 22, Article 2 of the City Code dealing with
economic development (ShafiaFiorida Reeves and Jennifer Breakell)----------------~---3
Action Requested of Council:
Grant permission to publish Notice of Proposed Ordinance.
Background/Rationale:
A municipality must have a Local Economic Development Act ("LEDAn)
ordinance to apply for and receive LEDA grant funds from the New Mexico
Economic Development Department. The ordinance primarily outlines
qualifications, standards and/or criteria for who and what is eligible for
LEDA funds and, like a Metropolitan Redevelopment Area ("MRA")
designation, provides the City the opportunity to enter into public/private
partnerships that benefit the community without violating the anti-donation
clause. In its most basic form, LEDA is used as a financial incentive tool
and is paired with an eligible project. The State LEDA fund is currently
capitalized at approximately $500,000.
The City's current LEDA ordinance has not been amended in 20 years
while LEDA has been updated twice at the State level since 1996. There
are some significant new economic development strategies such as
creative economic development and arts and cultural development that are
not reflected in the ordinance and are potentially new areas of LEDA
financing. Additionally, State Statutes regarding MRAs have recently been
amended to include "cultural facilities" as qualifying entities which will assist
the City in a much larger array of public/private partnerships within the
City's MRA districts. Due to the excitement surrounding the Outdoor
Recreation Industry Initiative (ORII), many businesses are expressing
interest in the Animas District of the City's MRA for location and/or
relocation. Two of those potential businesses currently use LEDA funds
and have inquired if LEDA funds are available through the City.
Staff Recommendation:
Grant permission to publish Notice of Proposed Ordinance.
2
Instructions Upon Approval:
Publish Notice of Proposed Ordinance with final action scheduled for
July 1O, 2018.
5. Bid for Phase II of the 2P Zone Waterline replacement project (Kristi Benson) --------4
Action Requested of Council:
Approve recommendation for award.
Backg round/Rationale:
Bids opened June 11, 2018 for Phase II of the 2P Zone Waterline
replacement project (Public Works) with three bidders participating.
Staff Recommendation:
Award the bid to TRC Construction, Inc. as the lowest and best bidder
meeting specifications ($3,908,525.86).
Instructions upon Approval:
Award the contract.

Re: CDBG Capital Projects Recommendation and Presentations
Staff met with Council on May 22 to discuss the Federal Fiscal Year 2018 CDBG allocation and to
receive direction. For the 2018 program year (October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019), the CDBG
grant award amount is $353,025. The funding allocated for capital projects is $229,467 (65%).
Council requested presentations by departments hoping to utilize CDBG funds for capital projects.
The presentations will review the proposed capital projects submitted to date. Staff is requesting input
and direction from Council for next steps on deciding which capital project(s) to fund. The following
are the departments proposing projects for the 201 8 capital funds:
1. PRCA ADA Upgrades in preferred order (Request $309,350)
• Bonnie Dallas Senior Center ($90, 100)
• Sycamore Community Center Exterior ADA Upgrades ($31 ,000)
• Farmington Recreation Center ($30,750)
• Civitan Park North and South ADA Upgrades ($56, 100)
• Fairgrounds Park: Softball Field Restroom ($101,400)
2. General Services: Inebriate Shelter (Request $130,000)
• Acquire and relocate portable classrooms to be placed adjacent to the
Sobering Center near the Totah Behavioral Health Services. The portables
would be to shelter individuals overnight, sleeping only, no plumbing.
Restrooms would be provided at the sobering center.
• Two Portable Classrooms ($65,000 each)
Staff is looking for direction from Council. Once the capital projects are selected, they will be included
in the Draft 2018 Annual Aclion Plan. The 2018 Action Plan will then go through a public input
process including a public hearing sdleduled for the Council meeting on July 24.
