Summary/Background: Town of Taos Policy requires Council approval on all budget transfers that transfer funds between costs categories, (i.e. Personnel, Operating Expenses and Capital Outlay, interfund transfer, budget increases, project to projects and new projects. This adjustment in Community Grants Fund will increase revenues and expenditures in the amount of $31,002 for two grants received from the New Mexico Department of Transportation - Aviation Division that were not in the FY 2020-2021 budget.  The first grant is for a mower deck in the amount of $20,000, with a $2,000 match. The second grant is the airfield maintenance and consumable items that were partially budgeted; this adjustment adds in the difference of $11,002 to the original budget of $10,998 for a total of $22,000.  The town match for both of these grants is coming from the Community Grant Match expenditure line item.  We are also transferring funds from State Treasurer Investments to cash in the Community Grants Fund and Fire Fund from the General Additional Reserve Fund to cover the anticipated pre-payment for a new Pierce Enforcer Pumper.

This is an annual grant based on the library's status as a Public Library.  The amount this year is $6,038.53 which reflects 50% /50% deposit as well as one-time CARES Act supplemental funding.
 

Discussion, consideration and possible approval to issue a direct purchase order to Siddons Martin Emergency Group in an amount not to exceed $600,378.13 inclusive of gross receipts tax, for the purchase of a new Pierce Enforcer Class A Pumper. This purchase will be made through HGAC contract pricing and funded from NM State Fire Marshal’s Office Grant Fund in the amount of $200,000 and through Capital Projects funded through Fire Protection Fund amount of $400,378.13.

Summary/Background:

The Town of Taos’ Vision 20/20 Master Plan was developed in 1999 and must be updated with a Municipal Comprehensive Plan (as defined by New Mexico State Statute). Various elements of the master plan have been amended or updated since 1999 to include housing, land, economic development, water and sewer, parks and recreation. The Town would now like to update and consolidate all the plans into one document that addresses future needs through 2040. The new comprehensive plan will build on the following plans: Vision 20/20 (1999), Community Economic Development Strategic Plan (2013), Water & Sewer Master Plan (2015), 40 Year Water Plan, Park Master Plan (2018), Youth & Family Center Plan (2018), Taos County Hazard Mitigation Plan (2018), Community Tree Care Plan (2018), and the most recent Strong at Heart Plan (2018) focusing on downtown strategies. These plans, and other relevant documents, can be found at: www.Taosgov.com.

In addition, the Town has received funding for the following plans currently underway: Chamisa Park Development Plan, Affordable Housing Plan, and the Taos Regional Airport Master Plan.

The Town is seeking to update its comprehensive plan through a highly interactive, public process with various community stakeholders. It is expected that the end product will be a plan that reflects the aspirations and values of the community. The plan will serve as a basis for the establishment of future priorities and policies for the coordinated development and redevelopment of the Town. The adopted update will meet the provisions of New Mexico Statutes Annotated.

Period of Performance: The updated comprehensive plan shall be finalized and accepted by the Planning Commission by August 6, 2021.

Summary/Background:

Phase II of the comprehensive plan update will be to develop a new land use element, including the following:

1. Develop recommended approach to updating Town Land Development Code to include a detailed assessment of the code’s current zones, overlay zones, performance standards and subdivision regulations; recommendations for code administration, and recommendations for new code structure.
2. Detailed review of current adopted plans guiding land use, primarily the Vision 2020 Plan (1999) and Strong at Heart Downtown Strategy Report (2018), to validate and identify needed updates and revisions to information, analyses and policies.
3. Develop series of land use mapping and analyses, including:Existing land use of Town, future annexation areas, and the extraterritorial planning area Land status (showing public ownership by entity and private lands)

• Historic settlement patterns and urban form
• Conditions of selected categories of properties based on windshield survey (could include lodging facilities and housing stock in a few neighborhoods)
• New and emerging development areas (such as Youth and Family Center area on Paseo del Cañon)
• Opportunity areas, including Strong at Heart and expanding geographically
• Significant physical features, including drainages, surface water, vegetative zones, elevations
• Zoning districts in Town and in the ETZ (Town and County GIS)
• Recent land use changes
• Future land use (resulting from all other analyses)
• Annexations by phases (if strategy emerges)

4. Conduct initial analysis of consistency between the Town Land Development Code and new comprehensive plan.
5. Develop goals and policies (Policy Framework).
6. Development of draft plan, draft review, amendments, and adoption.
