30 E. REPORTS: 31
1. Administrator Report 32 • Bond Presentation from Jill Sweeney 33
34
Administrator Curry: I think you see in your packet a lot of the reports from the departments. 35 During new business you are going to hear some reports from Sandy Rasmussen and others 36 talking about lodger’s tax. We thought it would be appropriate to have that discussion when we 37 were actually talking about the lodger’s tax. That will come up on new business items four and 38 five. First thing I wanted to say on the administrator’s report is that we had a very nice meeting 39 this afternoon to talk about the Grower’s Market. I want to thank Councilor Burkett and 40 Councilor Murray for coming by and sharing their opinions. I may ask Tanya to say a few things 41 in a moment, but we had a good visit with the Gonzaleses this afternoon where we laid out a plan 42 so that the Grower’s Market will begin to look how it used to look. It was a good meeting and I 43 appreciate all the comments prior to and during the meeting. Tanya, do you want to add anything 44 before I move on? 45
Tanya Lattin: I think the meeting went really well and I think that this is going to be a good 46 start to our new beginning. 47
Administrator Curry: Lynn? Do you have anything? 48
Lynn Siverts: No, I agree. I think we had some good discussions. 49
Administrator Curry: So, I think we are moving in the right direction with that and I think it is 50 just a matter of having better communication. One of the better things that came out of this is 51 that we are going to have a lot of communication and the market will continue to be the iconic 52 market that it is for Corrales. Jill Sweeney are you on the line? I would like to turn it over to her 53 to talk about bonds. 54
Jill Sweeney: My name is Jill Sweeney and most of you know that I am a lawyer of Sherman 55 and Howard practicing in public finance here in New Mexico. We are here to talk to you tonight 56 about a general obligation bond for two and a half million dollars for conservation easements. 57 This GO Bond was approved by the voters in March of 2018 and Village staff and consultants 58 have been working on the project to make sure that those projects are ready to proceed. That way 59 when the bond is issued, the proceeds will be spent on projects that are quote, unquote shovel 60 ready. It is most economical for the Village to issue this bond through the New Mexico Finance 61 Authority. It is the same process we went through fairly recently on your municipal gross 62 receipts tax bond. At the moment, your finance team is working on an application to the New 63 Mexico Finance Authority. That application would be brought back before the Council at your 64 June meeting. Then, after working with the finance authority, it would be brought back to you at 65 your July meeting for adoption of an ordinance and approval of an interest rate. The finance 66 authority periodically sets those interest rates so we won’t know what that interest rate will be 67 until a little further into the process. The goal is to close the bond and have funds available for 68 the purchase of the conservation easements in August. Do we have either John Archuleta or Brad 69
Angst on the line? No? In any event, we have been working closely with your financial advisors 70 as well as Village staff to develop a calendar and a financial structure that will work with the 71 Village. With that I will stand for any questions. 72
Councilor Murray: My understanding is that the bond issue is not only for conservation 73 easements but it is for any open space that the Village wants to spend money on is that correct? 74
Jill Sweeney: Councilor Murray, the bond question put before the voters in 2018 is for 75 easements, not outright purchase of land, to be used for recreational as well as other uses. 76
Councilor Murray: Okay, so then let me also ask you, is there a time limit from when the bonds 77 got elected to when they have to be issued? 78
Jill Sweeney: Yes, under state law bonds approved in an election must result in a bond sale 79 within four years. 80
Councilor Murray: Okay, and are we collecting taxes for that bond issue right now? 81
Jill Sweeney: Yes. 82
Councilor Murray: And that is at the 2.4 mill rate? 83
Jill Sweeney: I do not have that right in front of me but I believe so. The commitment we made 84 during the 2020 election cycle was that with the addition of the questions from the 2020 election, 85 that the mill rate would not exceed the 2018 mill rate. 86
Councilor Murray: If we don’t spend the money are the taxes then put in escrow? Or do they 87 get returned to the tax payer? 88
Jill Sweeney: Once the bond is issued, the Village is required to have a reasonable expectation 89 that the proceeds will be spent within three years. That is federal tax law. So, we have to have 90 those projects lined up and ready to go. Should there be unspent proceeds, those would go 91 through the waterfall and could be used for other purposes but the tax law requires that we have 92 projects and reasonable expectation to spend all of the money in the particular manner approved 93 by the voters. 94
Mayor Roake: I do want to let the councilors know that we believe there will be a 95 recommendation coming before this Council from the Farmland Preservation Commission. We 96 can look forward to that. Anything else Jill? 97
Jill Sweeney: I do not think so. Mayor, Council, we look forward to working on that application 98 and coming back to you with a parameters resolution at your meeting on the 16th of June. 99
Mayor Roake: Administrator Curry, is there anything else you would like to add to your report? 100
Administrator Curry: No just that I would stand for any questions. Also, just a reminder that 101 we are probably going to meet again prior to the legislative session. As I am sure some of you 102 have been following that it will be challenging for people to express their opinions during this 103 session because of the way it is setup. I am not sure they are going to let lobbyists, or what they 104 define as a lobbyist into the building as opposed to a public employee. We will keep you up to 105
date but there is just a lot going on. I think the best thing we can do is talk to your local 106 Representatives or Senators and see what they say. 107
Mayor Roake: I believe that session is set to start June 18th. 108
Councilor Knight: I have a question for the Administrator. You had talked about the meeting 109 you had with the Growers’ Market; can you fill us in with any of the details? 110
Administrator Curry: We met at two this afternoon, and Councilor Murray and Councilor 111 Burkett joined us. We met with the Gonzaleses about moving the market back up to the front lot. 112 We talked about access, and moving around in a clockwise way which is something Al 113 discussed. But the tone of the meeting was just to try and get the logistics laid out and make sure 114 that we are managing to keep large gatherings apart. We talked about how they would monitor 115 that. We worked out a flow plan for people coming in there and we think it will work well. I 116 think it’s going to be different and there will be some changes as we work with the Growers’ 117 Market folks. We as the Village have been working very hard to follow the Governor’s orders on 118 all of this and we think we have done that. I think everyone has worked really hard on this and I 119 look forward to moving forward and getting back to future, I guess. 120
Mayor Roake: This is starting this Sunday and we will be having an in-person market and I 121 think everyone will be looking forward to that. We just have to remember that we will have to 122 keep up the social distancing protocols and the vendors have been very cooperative. I would 123 really like to thank the Village governing body, the Administrator and Village employees for 124 being so patient, taking it slow, and following the Governor’s directives. I want to thank every 125 member of the community as well because we are in good shape in terms of this virus. No 126 numbers are acceptable but we have eight cases right now, and as far as we know, we have no 127 fatalities. I think that boils down to our community staying in place and following the COVID 128 safe practices. As we go forward and open up this essential business to people coming on foot, I 129 know we are going to do a good job with it. 130
Councilor Woldman: Just to clarify, this Sunday, there will be pedestrians as opposed to 131 vehicles going through the market. 132
Mayor Roake: That is correct. 133
Councilor Murray: I saw on the news today that the Governor is opening up the outdoor 134 restaurants. I was just wondering if we were moving forward with that too and how can we 135 maximize that 50% or whatever they are going to have? 136
Mayor Roake: I believe our restaurants have been planning for this. I believe they were even 137 planning for this a couple weeks ago and got delayed. I think when Sandy speaks about this 138 during the MainStreet report. She has been working with our local businesses to determine what 139 their maximum capacity can be. I think the Crow, the Bistro, Hannah and Nates, Village Pizza 140 have been working on it. I think everybody has been trying to work on that and I think it is going 141 to start tomorrow. We may need to start flying balloons and making every announcement we 142 can. Again, everybody has to be safe. They probably have marked it out and made sure that 143 everybody is going to be a safe distance from each other. 144
Councilor Murray: I assume that Ex Novo is going to be exempt because they are a brewery 145 and not a food source. 146
Mayor Roake: They have been open and I think they have had food trucks. That’s a really good 147 question and maybe Sandy can help us answer that. 148
Sandy Rasmussen: There is a little stipulation there. I talked with John Perea and all the 149 restaurants. He is not sure he is going to open right away because he cannot have over 50% of his 150 business be alcohol driven. Perea’s is so on the border that he doesn’t think it is worth his time to 151 check to see if he has 49% or 51%. That might affect Ex Novo as well because they have food 152 trucks but they do not have a restaurant. John is going to wait until next week when things start 153 to open more. 154
2. Department Reports 155 156
F. COUNCILORS FORUM: This section is for information purposes only, not for discussion 157 and debate, to inform the Governing Body of an issue/concern that would not be addressed on 158 the agenda during the business session. 159 160 Councilor Lucero: I wanted to express my gratitude that the Growers’ market is moving onto a 161 walkthrough market. Thank you to everyone to who put in work to make that happen. 162
Councilor Knight: I want to thank everyone who organized the graduates’ parade. Everybody 163 was excited to be there and I thought it was a really nice idea. 164 165
G. CORRALEÑOS FORUM: This section is for information purposes only, not for discussion 166 and debate, to inform the governing body of an issue or concern that would not be addressed on 167 the agenda during the business session. There is a 3-minute time limit, unless approved by the 168 Presiding Officer. 169 170 Dave and Amanda Obrien: 171 Dear Councilors 172 I am sure the police and fire department has notified the Council that the North Corrales beach parking is 173 a mess. 174 For the last week the Fire, Police and Animal Control has been out on the road ticketing folks and locking 175 up the gates 24/7. Sadly, it seems someone has been cutting their locks and ropes. We talked to the 176 Police on duty out there and he said parking is unsafe so no vehicle access allowed. The net result is 177 several cars are now parking along Camino Corrales del Norte and climbing through private properties to 178 get back onto the cannel road. 179 This lockdown has made it difficult for Corrales residents (and others) to drop off kayaks for floating 180 down river, etc. 181 Questions: 182 Is there a way to make the parking area for say 15-minute load and unload only? Police and others can 183 monitor and ticket all others. 184 Open up the west cannel road? This was the exit road from the beach. However, it was closed off first, 185 forcing two-way traffic on the east road, which is dangerous, since the roads are only single wide. 186 Thank you for your time. 187 Dave & Amanda Obrien 188
189 All comments must be emailed and will be read into the record. Please email comments to 190 at [email protected] no later than 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday May 26th. 191 192

208 I. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA: 209
210 J. NEW BUSINESS: 211
212 1. Organizational Appointments of Appointed Officials carried over from the April 19th 213
Regular Council Meeting, Confirmation of Appointed Officials per NMSA 3-11-5 (h) 214 215
Village Administrator 216 Chief of Police 217 Village Clerk 218 219
Motion: to approve the appointed officials, Action: Approve, Moved by Councilor Knight, 220 Seconded by Councilor Dornburg. 221 222 Councilor Lucero: I have a couple comments and some discussion about the Village Clerk. I 223 want to make sure that none of these comments are derogatory towards Aaron. These comments 224 are specifically towards the Village Clerk. In the discussions I have had, and this particular 225 dismissal has caught a little traction with me anyway. In several conversations and emails with 226 people in the Village they are wondering why the turnover? Especially with this position 227 considering the time we are in and the amount of experience that has left. Granted, personnel 228 issues are always very tough. I know there is probably some issues we could discuss in this 229 forum, but maybe more in a closed session. I think it would be appropriate just to make sure that 230 I got everything clarified and out in the open so that I can discuss it with people that are 231 concerned. I would like to postpone the appointment of the Clerk upon discussion in a closed 232 session about some of the issues that have taken place with the dismissals recently, especially 233 with the last Village Clerk. 234
235 Mayor Roake: We need to be really careful on this issue. Could I have our counsel weigh in 236 please? 237 238 Randy Autio: I understand your concern. The situation with appointments is a little bit different 239 than when we are considering a classified employee. In this situation we have appointees that are 240 serving at the will of the Mayor with Council approval. You are right, we cannot discuss the 241 merits of letting her go. But the way the appointment process essentially goes is that Councilors 242 can act with their vote. Either you support the Mayor in their appointment or you do not. It is 243 typically not done that we go into closed session because it is an at will employee. I would 244 recommend that all Councilors vote with their feelings on this one. 245 246 Councilor Lucero: It is not that I do not want to support the Mayor. I just want to answer some 247 questions that have been posed to me. Maybe not with this particular position, but just in general. 248 It was suggested that we maybe hold off. I would just like to get this cleared up before we move 249 on with these appointments. 250 251 Mayor Roake: Are there any other questions? Otherwise I will be calling for a vote. 252 253 Councilor Murray: I tend to support Kevin’s statements as well but the problem with the way 254 the appointments are listed is that it is an all or nothing. I would kind of like some answers to 255 about the turnover and some of the issues that may be affecting staff. We are getting questions 256 about the Administration and I think it would be a good thing to be able to discuss those in a 257 closed session. 258 259 Randy Autio: One thing I would say is that you can have a discussion on overall Administration 260 or employee moral or anything like that in open session. You cannot talk about personnel issues 261 except relating to certain personnel actions for termination or discipline of an employee. That is 262 the only time you can go into closed session. This is not a situation because the Mayor may 263 release the Clerk for any or no cause. So, talking about the pluses or minuses of the Clerk are not 264 at issue here. It is not a matter of discipline, it is not a matter of bad job performance, it is the 265 Mayor can simply do this wanting to change a direction. 266 267 Councilor Dornburg: I think that is the key there. This is an at will employee. This is the 268 Administration’s choice who they want serving. My first concern when I heard of it was the 269 optics of it, especially in today’s day and age. But this is not a traditional personnel decision for 270 poor performance, it is a servant at the will of the Mayor. If you disagree with it, you can say no. 271 We can propose an amendment that separates them, but I would discourage that because I do not 272 think there is any purpose served in it. I was unaware that it was every two years. I thought it 273 was when the Mayor came in. I do not disagree with the sentiment you are having, but I do think 274 this is a different kind of issue. 275 276 Councilor Woldman: Firstly, I think if it is possible to separate the first two from the third then 277 that would be appropriate. Secondly, the statement was made that the Mayor is going in a 278 different direction. I think it would be helpful to know why and what that direction was. Not 279 from a personnel perspective, but a direction perspective. 280
281 Mayor Roake: Again, this is an at will employee and it is my decision. I have to be really 282 careful what I say because I do not want to do anything to damage an employee’s privacy. These 283 are sensitive personnel matters and I think I have to kind of stand my ground. I think my counsel 284 will back me up on the fact that there is very little I can say. I think the hopeful new Clerk has 285 been working very diligently throughout the Village the last two years. He is well qualified. He 286 will do an excellent job in making sure that our communication with our Councilors and our 287 community is top notch and that our continuing improvements in technology and continued 288 improvements in follow-through. That he will make sure everything is done right and that is the 289 way we want to go. I do understand your concerns. Believe me, no one wants to change 290 personnel, but that is about all I can say about it. I would disagree with any notion of low 291 morale. But again, when it comes to other appointments, I am willing to sit down and talk about 292 it, but this one is an at will employee. It is my decision, and I would like to take a vote on it. 293 294 Councilor Murray: Can I ask one more question to Mr. Autio? I was looking online at the New 295 Mexico State Statutes and I cannot find subsection h. Is that just a minor technicality? 296 297 Randy Autio: It is in fact under 3-11-5. It is a technical issue with a typo in the agenda, but not 298 a violation of the Open Meetings Act. I think the error occurred because we are constantly 299 working with subsection h in the Open Meetings Act. 300 301 Vote: Motion carried by unanimous vote (summary: Yes = 6). 302 Yes: Councilor William Woldman, Councilor Kevin Lucero, Councilor Stuart Murray, 303 Councilor Mel Knight, Councilor Zachary Burkett, Mayor Pro Tem David Dornburg 304

Biennial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2022
Between
New Mexico MainStreet Program, The Village of Corrales,
and Corrales MainStreet and Arts & Cultural District/Compound
The State of New Mexico’s Economic Development Department seeks to increase the number of jobs and
businesses, sustain and expand existing businesses, mitigate commercial leakage, support local entrepreneurs in
start-ups, and improve property values within traditional and historic commercial districts. To that end, it has
dedicated resources, professional assistance and services to partnering municipalities and a local nonprofit
organization representing stakeholders within the designated commercial district through the New Mexico
MainStreet (NMMS), New Mexico Arts & Cultural District (ACD), and Frontier and Native American Communities
Initiative programs. The partners of this MOU agree to dedicate collaborative resources, adopt local economic
growth and revitalization tools, and establish economic development funding for operations and program
implementation to restore economic vitality within the MainStreet economic redevelopment district.
New Mexico MainStreet (NMMS) is a designated “Main Street America Coordinating Program” of the National Main
Street Center, Inc. (NMSC), a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The New Mexico Economic
Development Department (NMEDD) is licensed and accredited annually to administer the NMSC’s Main Street
Four-Point Approach® downtown revitalization. It does so through the NMSC’s “Economic Transformation
Strategies.”
The New Mexico MainStreet (NMMS) program is an economic development partnership program with local, eligible
communities. The NMEDD, by New Mexico State Statute (New Mexico MainStreet Act 3-60B-1 to 3-60B-4 NMSA
1978, as amended 2013, and the Arts and Cultural District Act 2007), is authorized to select local partners to
participate in the New Mexico MainStreet’s program based on the standards and principles set forth by the NMSC
and when legislative appropriation allows. Local partners (the local revitalization organization and the local
governing body), join their resources (human, social and financial) to directly support the economic development of
the district.
As a NMSC Main Street America Coordinating Program, NMMS provides local MainStreet organizations and their
local government partners with resources, training, and technical services that enhance local culture and heritage,
and build the economic vitality of each participating community’s downtown, village plaza, town center, courthouse
square, historic commercial corridor or traditional neighborhood central business district.
The local government partner (municipal, county or tribal government) financially supports the work of a community
economic development partnership within the dedicated MainStreet district for both operations and program
2
implementation through a service contract with the local, state-designated MainStreet organization. Since the
NMMS program and its designation of local partners are established by state statute, and with the understanding
that the service contract binds the local MainStreet organization to implementation of economic development
projects which have a fair-market value in exchange for funds received, local government partners remain in
compliance with anti-donation clause of the New Mexico Constitution.
The local MainStreet organization is an economic development organization comprised of downtown stakeholders,
whose programs, projects, and activities enhance the local downtown economy and contribute to the quality of life
of its citizens. The organization builds local partnerships to leverage resources and buy-in for the revitalization of
the district.
This MOU commits partners to the criteria defined in New Mexico MainStreet Program Guidelines (Attachment 1).

I. Background
Mission: The New Mexico MainStreet Program fosters economic development in the state by supporting local
MainStreet/Arts & Cultural District revitalization organizations and their local government partner in their economic
work in downtowns and adjacent neighborhoods. The Program provides resources, education, training and services
for asset-based economic growth that builds local knowledge and skills based on the Main Street Four -Point
Approach®, which preserves and enhances the built environment, supports district businesses and entrepreneur
development, and conserves and interprets local culture and heritage resulting in increased economic vitality of
each participating local MainStreet district.
New Mexico MainStreet (NMMS) is a designated “Main Street America Coordinating Program” of the National Main
Street Center, Inc. (NMSC), a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The New Mexico Economic
Development Department (NMEDD) is licensed and accredited annually by the NMSC to administer and manage
the Main Street Center’s registered trademark revitalization program in New Mexico providing services, resources
and technical assistance to help implement the Main Street Four-Point Approach® to local organizations.
NMMS is delegated by state statute (Main Street Act, NMSA 1978, 3-60B-1 to 3-60B-4 and the Arts and Cultural
District Act, NMSA 1978 15-5A-1 to 15-5A-7 NMSA 1978), and through NMEDD, to assist communities in building
capacity in community economic development that creates jobs, supports commercial property owners, mitigates
leakage, grows businesses, encourages entrepreneurs, benefits the local economy, and raises the quality of life for
its residents. The NMMS program was launched in 1984 and accepted its first designated organizations in 1985.
NMMS is responsible for coordinating and orchestrating resources, services, and professional technical assistance
to its organizations via several programs and initiatives. For more information, visit the NMMS website:
www.nmmainstreet.org.
II. New Mexico MainStreet and Main Street America Designations
Local New Mexico MainStreet programs are established as public-private, community economic development
partnership programs dedicated to revitalization and economic growth of traditional and/or historic commercial
centers. Local programs are tiered, based on local capacity/development and receive resources, technical
assistance and support from NMMS concurrent with their program designation or authorization. Local communities
enter the program through an Accelerator process to bring the organization up to full capacity within 18 months. It is
an intensive coaching and start-up process in the Four Point Main Street Approach®™. Successfully graduating
from the Accelerator Process leads to designation as a National Main Street Center “Main Street America” program
and makes the community part of a larger network with a proven track record for celebrating community character,
preserving local history, and generating impressive economic returns.
Attachment 1 - Page 2 of 8
A. Designation as Main Street America Affiliate™ or Accredited™ Program: NMMS, as a licensed and
accredited State Coordinating Program, annually awards local Mainstreet programs with a Main Street

operational capacity and their programmatic engagement with demonstrable economic
performance toward completing goals of the ETS leading to Main Street America Accredited
designation.
2) Main Street America Accredited™ status is for programs or organizations that demonstrate
success in planning, implementing, and measuring successful Economic Transformation Strategies
utilizing the Main Street Four-Point Approach®. Accredited programs have fully engaged Boards,

III. Economic Transformation Strategies and Community Revitalization
The local MainStreet organization is required to set three (3) NMMS-approved Economic Transformation Strategies
(ETS) for the District based on one of the adopted economic development plans. Of the three ETS, one should be
dedicated to organizational capacity building and is not directly related to specific economic development goals. An
annual work plan is developed based on the three (3) ETS. All work in the “Main Street Four-Point Approach®”
(Organization, Design, Promotion, and Economic Vitality), should directly support outcomes established under the
ETS strategies. Work teams, task forces or committees are established to implement projects that advance each
strategy.
The focus of the annual performance review of each local organization will be based on the positive outcomes of
the Board and staff in meeting performance metrics in the annual work plan related to each ETS strategy and the
engagement of each of the Four Points by the organization in meeting each strategy.
ETS strategies should be concrete, specifically defined, and achievable with the existing resources of the local
