Richardson, Roswell, NM 88202 Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 3:30 p.m. ACTION REQUESTED: BLM Trail Extension Project Review BACKGROUND: BLM and the Department of Health have contacted the City about working with them on developing a new trail to Bitter Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Originally, staff had discussed an alignment from a turn-off near the Roswell Test Facility along US 380 and heading north through City of Roswell property to the southern end of the Bitter Lakes property. Recently, the BLM has requested an alignment consideration of starting at the Spring River Park and Zoo and heading east on a to be determined alignment towards Bitter Lakes. This route would only be partially located inside the City’s municipal boundary and would need to end up on the north side of Berrendo Creek which would require a series of easements through private properties. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: There are no anticipated costs to the City at this time. LEGAL REVIEW: This issue has not been reviewed by the City Attorney. BOARD AND COMMITTEE ACTION: Discussion of coordinating the development of a new pedestrian / bike trail between the Spring River Park and Zoo and Bitter Lakes National Wildlife Refuge with the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Health, and the City of Roswell.

Whereas, the City of Roswell seeks economic development from industry in keeping with the values of the community; Whereas, the film industry can provide environmentally friendly job creation and is an economic activity that augments the city’s current visitor attraction businesses; Whereas, the film industry in New Mexico contributed a direct economic impact to the State’s economy of $340 million in 2015 and has already contributed $150 million to the State’s economy in the first quarter of 2016; Whereas, there are talented citizens in Roswell who are involved in film or film education who can, with the assistance of the Roswell-Chaves County Economic Development Corporation, form the FilmRoswell Board and directly support the development of the film industry in Roswell; Whereas, the New Mexico Film Office relies on a local contact person, designated by the City as the Film Liaison to supply local information for a variety of film industry activities to attract film production to New Mexico; and Whereas, the person designated as the Film Liaison does not engender potential conflicts of interest, can work closely with local permitting and public safety authorities, and who can serve as a repository of local photography, locations, and other filming needs. Now therefore, be it resolved, that the Governing Body of the City of Roswell, New Mexico recognizes the creation of the FilmRoswell Board, that that Board will report quarterly to the City Council about project needs and economic benefits, and that the City Director of Public Affairs, currently Juanita Jennings, may be recognized to the State of New Mexico and to all other parties as the designated Film Liaison for Roswell, New Mexico for the purpose of promoting the film industry in the City.
