COUNTY News:
Feb. 19 beginning at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers, the Los Alamos County Council will have a discussion to decide “which” capital projects approved for design and construction in May 2012 will be moving forward or deferred.
The Council moved this meeting from being a Work Session in White Rock to a Regular Session in Los Alamos so that the meeting can be televised.
Due to budget shortfalls, Council gave the staff budget guidance on Jan. 29 to defer up to $12.5 million in capital project costs and delay projects up to four years for these eight approved projects:
- Ashley Pond Park Improvements
- Teen Center
- Nature Center
- Eastern Area Sound Wall
- Golf Course Improvements
- White Rock Civic Center
- Canyon Rim Trail
- Ice Rink Improvements
The Council will make a decision at the close of the meeting and their decision will determine the capital projects included in the FY14 budget, as well as long-range capital project planning.
The meeting will be streamed live on PAC-8 on Feb. 19, or it can be streamed on the Council’s webpage at www.losalamosnm.us.
Citizens interested in e-mailing the Council with their input on the list can do so at countycouncil@lacnm.us.
