REQUESTING LOCAL MATCHING FUNDS TO COMPLETE A FULL FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A BUSINESS INCUBATOR PROJECT IN VALENCIA COUNTY. Mr. Ralph Mims presented item seven. Several rural communities have been identified that may accommodate a business incubator through legislator assistance to provide entrepreneurial development in rural areas. The Village of Los Lunas has held two meetings with community leaders in Valencia County to get buy-in or the project. The request is for up to $6,000.00 to provide local match to complete a full study for a business incubator project in Valencia County. This incubator keeps entrepreneurs in the community – helps with start-ups and provides support. A feasibility study needs to be conducted to see what type of incubator would work in Valencia County. Councilman Romero asked about whom else from the county was involved. Mr. Martin replied, this project will cost $30,000.00 for a full feasibility study (grants are available through the state) – as a local community, can we come up with the 20% match of the $30,000.00. We have held meetings with the other communities to see if they would be able to help come up with that match. Rio Communities was the only community that did commit up to $1,650.00 from their funds towards that match. Mr. Russell Combs from IODA was introduced and spoke on the process of a full feasibility study. Councilman Ortiz mentioned that he remembered the presentation at a VALEO meeting and that he got the feeling that no one was interested and that Los Lunas was the only one on board. He also stated his concern that the Village is putting up all the money for the study (there is no interest from the other communities). Mr. Combs replied that if there wasn’t any buy-in by the other communities for the feasibility study, then they would have to have a Plan B or stop. Councilman Saiz likes the idea of the study but he feels the same way as Councilman Ortiz. Councilwoman Sanchez- Montoya concurred. Councilman Saiz asked how many communities are needed to make this successful. Mr. Combs replied the study would give that information.

ORDINANCE 410 – AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING A CERTAIN PARCEL OF LAND, IN LANDS OF HUNING LIMITED LIABILITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, SITUATE WITHIN THE SAN CLEMENTE GRANT IN PROJECTED SECTIONS 17, 18, 19, 20, AND 21, TOWNSHIP 7 NORTH, RANGE 1 EAST, NEW MEXICO PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, VALENCIA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO, AND FURTHER DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A – ALTA/ASCM LAND TITLE SURVEY, AND EXHIBIT B – ANNEXATION MAP. Ms. Christina Ainsworth presented items four and five. These two items, four and five, are a request for annexation and zoning designation for property adjacent to the western most boundary of the village north of NM 6. The property is lands of Huning Limited Partnership – sections 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, township 7 north, range 1 east, New Mexico principal meridian in Valencia County, New Mexico. It’s a large piece of land that is being requested to be annexed into the Village of Los Lunas and to be zoned SU for the development of a rail park. There are some residential properties in the vicinity and there is also a quarry nearby. There were a few people who spoke in opposition at a recent Planning & Zoning meeting. The Planning & Zoning did recommend approval of both the annexation and the zoning designation SU. Mayor Griego asked with the findings were. Ms. Ainsworth replied, it is in conformance with our comprehensive plan and is compatible with the adjacent surroundings and is an appropriate zoning designation. Mayor Griego asked if there was anyone who wanted to speak in favor of the annexation. The following individuals spoke in favor of proposed annex: Mr. Rudy Marquez, Mr. Del Conroy, and Mr. Mike Mechenbier. The following individuals spoke against the proposed annex: Ms. Annette Kaylor, Mr. Ed Schbow, Mr. Tim Schmidle, Mr. Bill Bixby, and Mr. Joe Dixon. Mayor Griego asked if there was anyone else who wanted to speak for or against the proposed annexation. Mr. Cummins approached the podium – he is the agent for Mr. Mechenbier. They are not an out-of- state developer. They are committed to Los Lunas, committed to the people and committed to doing it right. They are all local investors. This is not a railyard like Albuquerque and in Belen; this will be an industrial park with rail service. It is not an intermodal facility, this rail serve industrial park. Burlington Northern likes this large piece of property – it will have a mixture of uses and using SU zoning allows them to buffer the road with commercial type uses and then go into manufacturing and heavier industrial use going in at the northern end of the property. As developers, we don’t know who the first users are going to be but we want to be able to create some buffers and heavier uses are going to be towards the back with lighter uses towards the front. Mayor Griego asked to close the public hearing and Council would go back in to open meeting. MOTION: motion to close public hearing and go back in to regular meeting MOVED: Councilman Saiz SECONDED: Councilwoman Sanchez-Montoya ROLLCALL: vote of 4 (Councilman Romero – yes; Councilman Ortiz – yes; Councilwoman Sanchez-Montoya – yes; Councilman Saiz – yes) FOR AND 0AGAINST.

We are asking to revise the height limit to 45 feet in C1 and C2 to allow for hotel uses. Mayor Griego asked Council if they had any questions – there was none. Mayor Griego asked if there was anyone who wanted to speak for or against the zoning change. Mr. Ambrose Chavez approached the podium – his question was concerning the height of the project. Ms. Ainsworth replied, if there’s an approved development plan that is attached to the SU zoning than the height limitation would be dictated by that – it would still be reviewed before it’s brought to the Council. Mayor Griego asked if there was anyone else who wanted to speak for or against the proposed ordinance – there was none.
