1. NOISE ABATEMENT ANALYSIS (TRAFFIC NOISE STUDY) NM6 – JUBILEE SUBDIVISION.
Mr. Michael Jaramillo and Jonah Ruybalid presented item one. (Informational). We've been working with the Department of
Transportation trying to �igure out how this process works with the noise abatement study. This is funded through capital outlay
and not Federal Highway Funds. Because of state transportation funds, the dot is the one that has the �inal decision on making an
approval or disapproval of any kind of sound barrier. We received some funding capital appropriations in 2018 and the second set of
funds came in 2019 for a total amount of around $1.5 million. We were told by the Department of Transportation recently with
besides the noise abatement, is that in order for it to get approved or disapproved, you have to have the funding. There’s an
estimated 32 properties along the adjoining right of way. They had an opportunity to vote yay or nay on the proposed sound barrier
wall. The money is public funds has to be built on public property. So the assumption would be if it's built on public property to be
built on the public right of way, which is the be the north of the trail. Our team is ready to present the �indings that we're going to do
a little bit today. Let them know what those processes are and let them know what the possibilities could be and if we get that
information and they allow us to go to a vote, anybody who is along that right of way line, which is about 30 homes, has the eligibility
to vote anybody across the road.
Jonah gave a brief presentation on the noise barrier wall. There are two capital outlay grants through the DOT, one for $750,000 and
then one for $800,000. The area that we're looking at for this project, as stipulated in the agreement with DOT is if you it's very hard
to see my cursor, but it's from Jubilee East along this section of homes. To verify elevations between the roadway and the wall to be
utilized for design as well as the noise study. We consulted; sub consulted with Bar Engineering to do the noise study. They followed
the dot Infrastructure design directive pertaining to noise abatement criteria, and these are the results. Bar Engineering went a little
bit further to see what that noise abatement would look like, so it looked at different heights of walls 8 feet, 10 feet and 12 feet.
And correct me if I'm wrong John, but I think the goal was for the wall to provide 5 decibel reduction or more. So you can see with an
8 foot wall. We didn't quite hit that level 10 feet we did in several locations, but it was the 12 foot wall that they did it for each of the
locations that were studied. So the conclusion from the report was that a sound barrier wall was not warranted for current
conditions or for the proposed conditions, it got quite a bit closer in 20 years out, but for right now it is not warranted. if we did look
at a wall, this is kind of what we were looking at. Michael mentioned some safety concerns. If that DOT had pointed out regarding a
wall adjacent to New Mexico 6 where it would potentially create like an alleyway? So what we were looking at if a wall, if we move
forward with a wall was locating the wall as close to the existing properties as possible, which would require reconstruction of the
pedestrian path. So that's what this �igure shows. So then this is the cost estimate for the 12 foot wall about 2,300 feet in length and
reconstruction of that path. Councilman Ortiz asked if that was something that needed to be done right of way. Jonah replied, it's
something that would have to be done as part of the wall construction if we were looking at the wall close to the property line close
to the close to the Jubilee property line. Councilman Munoz commented, our $1.5 million that we have is not even close to what we
need, right? Jonah replied, that is correct. Mayor Griego asked John if he had anything to say. He explained that Jonah explained it
well. The DOT’s noise policy has a cost effectiveness criteria. What the policy says is that we'll participate if it's a DOT project if the
cost is less than $50,000 per receptor, that's a bene�it. Part of the study that we did was, as Jonah said, to looked at an 8 a 10 and a 12
foot wall. The 10 foot wall does a pretty good job knocking the noise levels down by 5 decibels for most of the impacted receptors,
but it doesn't meet that cost effectiveness criteria. So that's why we concluded that a 12 foot wall was the way to go because it takes
the noise level down for everybody. The following individuals spoke in favor of the sound barrier wall (residents of Jubilee): Peter
Dodds, Mr. Barr, Lynn Yeski, Julie Thomas, Heidi Van de Winkle and Anne Jones. Mayor Griego asked Michael Jaramillo about
scheduling a workshop. Michael replied that they are preparing for a public input as required for the study. They are currently
looking/working on a timeframe for a presentation and also to take public comment. Mayor Griego thanked everyone for their
comments.
2. RESOLUTION 25-21: VILLAGE OF LOS LUNAS TITLE VI PROGRAM UPDATE.
Mr. Michael Jaramillo presented item two. Currently working on updating Title 6 program – last update was in 2016. Submitting
applications for federal funds. Michael Jaramillo will be the Title 6 coordinator for the Village of Los Lunas. When we have any kind
of development projects here in the village of Las Lunas, when I do ADA it is my responsibility to ensure that there is public access
ADA access to all facilities, including our own. I do reporting on the ADA transition plan so this will just be an additional additive that
I'll be submitting to the Department of Transportation, showing that if there are areas of concern, we're addressing them. If there's
anything that we're doing with any project that we ensure that we have public participation and that we're providing that. Mayor
Griego asked if it met the current guidelines set up by the new Secretary of Transportation. Michael replied, a recent document that
was given to us from the Federal Highway Transportation Secretary, I also know that recently with our conversation with our current
Cabinet Secretary for transportation here in New Mexico, it was recommended by Ricky Serna to say that you do need to do that – this
is coming from the federal side regarding DEI. Michael assured the mayor that there would be no conflict at all or jeopardize any
application that we may have. Mayor Griego asked council if they had a decision for resolution 25-21.
APPROVAL: Motion to approve resolution 25-21.

3. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS FOR PROPOSED SUNSET VIEW MARKETPLACE.
Ms. Erin Callahan and Larry Guggino presented item three. This item was brought before mayor and council recently for an
informational session. This is a development agreement that would allow the village to contribute to offsite traffic improvements for
a private property of a development, a shopping center development on the corner of Hunting Ranch, E Loop and Main St. This is a
type of agreement that we do not routinely go into. It would provide an adequate legal framework for the Council to pay for this
project and then recoup a certain percentage back from the property owner essentially as an economic development incentive.
We brought this information before because it's a fairly new type of item that we're looking at today. The changes on page 2 in the
preamble added the option for the property owner to donate the appraised value of a separate piece of property that the village will
need to acquire for another project. This is Champions Rd. it will be needed for the Sun Ranch desert Willow intersection. It is not a
part of the improvements that we're talking about in this agreement. So eventually going to need to develop access to that intersection.
So this does give us the option to accept the donated that donated parcel for its full appraised value towards the developer's cost share.
There was some discussion of a bond, whether a bond would be required. Larry and I do both recommend that there is a bond in place
in the event that the development couldn't move forward, that we do know that there is a source of funds that would pay us back.
And on page 10, we also do continue to recommend that the developer apply for local LEDA. Councilman Munoz asked how long it
would take to recoup the cost of this project. Erin replied, the first thing to note is you know this is the way this agreement in order
to go into this agreement, we the village would need to take on this project. So we would need to develop these improvements and
the agreement would say the property owners pay us back for their cost share, that's 20% in the agreement. There are timelines built
in that say once we move forward with the project then they have I think put in 100 and I'd have to look back exactly, but no more
than 120 days from either the approval of the bid, so that once we award the bid and we're going to do the project, they have not more
than 120 days to pay us their share. Councilman Ortiz expressed his concern regarding applying for local LEDA first – why hasn’t this
been done ahead of time. Has anything been developed? We don’t have any applications yet for a subdivision or for any building
permits for the development on this parcel. That parcel will have to be a part of the improvements for Sun Ranch Desert Willow.
The same property owner just happens to own them. He owns that parcel, so that is a resource that he has that we know that we're
going to be seeking the we're going to be seeking to acquire that parcel of land for our right of way. So in some ways this development
agreement doesn't really pertain to the intersection at Sunridge Desert Willow. Councilman Munoz asked what would happen if they
do not develop? Erin replied, the agreement in its current state would be terminated and they would need to pay us back or we would
draw down their bond to pay ourselves back. Mr. Feinberg, attorney for landowner. We don't want you to commit to us until we have
the deal. We don't want you to spend any money until we have a commitment from a developer that's going to pick that property up.
A developer will not commit unless he knows that he's going have good access to the proper streetscapes. Larry Guggino - we're
going get an appraisal when I get the appraisal we will share it with you. You decide whether it works and you can decide what you
want to donate Champion for this project or whether you want us to do something else, but you are going to get the value for
it. Councilman Ortiz commented, I think this is two different projects. I don't think that Champion Rd. should be a part of it until we
get their appraisal till we get numbers and everything else, I don't think it should be a part of this. Mr. Feinberg - I think we're more
looking for the commitment from the village that says you guys bring us a deal, close on the property prove that you have a tenant. Erin
commented, so I do want to just clarify a couple of just logistical items with the agreement. So on Champions, the way the language is
worded in here doesn't obligate us to accept the donation and it also doesn't obligate them to donate it to us or necessarily tie the
projects together, it just leaves the possibility open if they choose to, so it shouldn't be any kind of language where either party is kind
of forced into a situation - it's an option. I think I understand what I have an anticipation of what you all are going to ask for the timing
on, but that looks like we're talking about potentially a purchase agreement as demonstrated to the village, not necessarily a
subdivision application or another permit application, so we're happy to include the language. Larry Guggino - We can add it to Section
1.14 the term means the period commencing. So I would suggest we amend that section to add commencing on the date the agreement
is executed and maybe adding a sentence in there off the top of my head that basically says the village at the at the time the landowner
acquires a purchase agreement that the village will then consider appropriating the funds to build the project. Mayor Griego asked if
there was anything else – there was none. Mayor Griego asked for a motion from Council.
APPROVAL: Motion to approve with the recommended amendments for the development agreement of this off site

5. 2027-2031 INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANT (ICIP).
Ms. Brittany Armijo presented item �ive. (Review and discuss potential projects). I am here today to present the 2027 through 2031
infrastructure capital Improvements Plan commonly referred to as the ICIP. This is a 5 year planning tool that is used to assist
municipalities in project planning and project funding. We do remove many projects that you see listed here from years past that are
not yet funded or are only partially funded. We were able to remove quite a few projects from the ICIP this past year. In addition, based
royal project came with the new authority. Mayor Griego asked, what are we talking about? And what commitments have we made?
Brittany replied that we have not made any commitments – that would be through Valencia County. Mayor Griego also commented,
we have not been presented anything as to the royal – before we put anything on the AISIP, I would like more information. Michael
Jaramillo – we have in our ICP for stormwater management plans and make an argument to them to help us fund those because they're
assessing fees to do that type of work. Mayor Griego - right, but also to any future bonding request that they go forward, any imposition
of additional property tax. Needs to be made very clear that we're not going to be funding. Other projects and that needs to be funded
by that local entity. Brittany continued with presentation - In addition, based on conversations with leadership and the strategic
priorities that we have discussed, we have decided to add 2 new projects to our ICIP. Those two new projects are the village of Los
Lunas police station as well as the village of Las Lunas E Fire and police substation. We have slotted in the police station at the number
three spot on our ICIP list. Our top four projects are now #1 the I-25 Interchange and Bridge Construction; #2 Sun Ranch, New Mexico
6 intersection improvements; #3 village of Los Lunas Police Station and #4 Central NM Rail Park Utility extensions. We do not currently
have a project slotted in the �ifth spot. Mayor Griego asked when the ICIP has to be submitted. Brittany replied, July 27th. Mayor Griego
commented that he would like to table this item until we have a full council present.
APPROVAL: Motion to table until next meeting.
