Revenue figures for the first half of uh
the year the second half of
2024 um you know year to date compared
to where we were uh 2024 we're actually
about 1% higher in collections I think
we're about 3.2 million collections
through December of 2024 and at the same
time in December 2023 we were at about
3.1 so we're trending same as year
before if not a little bit
higher and as you can see the tid
revenues continue to increase um you
know we've seen tremendous growth in in
the tid since fy19 and that just
continues to to you know Be
steady uh the three different um funds
related to tid 25 uh 20 2815 4270 and
4271 those are the total balances for
each of those so Havey amount of money
still in the tid for current projects
and any potential projects down the road
Road and that's the tid Financial
presentation any questions anyone have
questions on the financial
update Council for oh thank you mayor uh
thank you Chris
um what um has there been any
development on the um presentation that
NMSU uh came
with a few months ago you recall chair
board member flus are you speaking
specific to the proposed tid with Mexico
State University correct um not at this
time nothing okay great thank you thank
you
mayor okay so next item is current
project
updates okay so I picked a few uh
projects uh that are using tid funds
currently there staff from the various
departments if you have follow-up
questions beyond the information but
specific to the branagan library
Renovations we are using tid funds for
the planning uh and design of that
facility just a real quick timeline here
on when the design phase one um looks
like it'll be this you know this spring
and then phase two will be later uh this
year on into uh late 2026 so that
program is moving along fine you can see
uh phase one um design relates to Ada
improvements um and expanding The Atrium
Lobby to create a more welcoming
entrance um and then phase two
Renovations of the second floor and
expanding the grand Kea and meeting room
so branding and Cultural Center
Renovations there was money set aside
from the tid to work on some of the
exterior um Renovations related to the
vas and the porticos outside vas are
nearly complete and it looks like they
will have most of this project wrapped
up by early
March Main Street kitas is a project
that's been we've been working on for a
while and that would be to put shade in
the little kaas that run along Main
Street between the roundabout and Bowman
um design is near complete um should be
wrapping up in uh the end of February
with construction to potentially begin
sometime uh in the summer and that's
about a $1.2 million project
compost Street redesign survey is done
design is about
60% um construction tentative to begin
later in 2025 and that will be about a
14th month project when it
starts and the idea is to you know new
bike Lanes wider pedestrian sidewalks
the idea of this project was to sort of
bridge the gap between the mosquite
neighborhood and downtown and use compo
as sort of that Corridor to blend those
two neighborhoods together right now it
definitely feels like they're kind of
divided and this is to sort of make that
more of a a walking pedestrian bike
friendly connection between downtown and
the mosqu
neighborhood uh we replaced all the
stage lighting uh on on the Roberto
Estrada Pavilion we just wrapped that up
right before chili drop uh it's LED
lighting that gives us a little bit more
flexibility related to the colors and
it's very similar to the lighting that
we have out outside here at City Hall
just a real quick update on where things
are with the Amador Hotel they will be
starting the East wall exterior um
Renovations spring of
2025 uh hoping to finalize all exterior
Renovations including the South and
North facades by Spring of
2026 in case anyone has been asking and
wondering what the status is the
documentation has been submitted to
include the uh Hotel on the National
Historic registry and we are just now
waiting for feedback on that so we we've
submitted it and we're just waiting to
see what there's any questions or
additional information
required and then lastly I just wanted
to put on your radar that we are working
to do an update which would basically be
a phase three of the downtown master
plan one was done in 2004 then in
2016 this version would be um projects
Beyond those that have been completed
sort of take downtown um through the
life of the tid and come up with project
suggestions for those remaining tid
funds so we'll be moving that process
forward this year um and hopefully
having more information to share uh
throughout this year and into next but
just wanted to put that on the board's
radar that we'll be looking to to bring
that forward and and finalize that
process as
well and that's all I have for project
updates any questions yeah thank you
thank you Chris any any questions from
Council Pro thanks Chris really my only
question not necessarily about anything
regarding your list I given the recent
news about the Amador restaurant just
curious about any you know um con and
really May or to any conversations that
we need to have um soon about the future
of of that um development I think it'd
be a shame to have it be empty for for
too long sure chair board member Beno
yes you know City manager's office is
sort of looking at that process and and
what those options are I know we're
currently getting an appraisal of that
just so we have that information and
then just kind of go from there as to
what next steps will be but yeah that's
an ongoing conversation that I'm sure
City manager's office and the mayor will
be having with with the rest of council
great thank you so
much thank you mayor BR uh Chris just a
reminder again on uh comple Street I
think that was slide number nine
it it extends from Pacho Spruce to
Amador is it the complete or does it
just go a certain portion of comple Mr
chair that is correct uh it is that
portion within Spruce all the way down
to to Amador
correct okay
thanks see no other questions uh I do
have a question for our
clerk is there a member of the county
that's supposed to be on the tid or is
is there someone already uh I guess
appointed or do we need to reach out to
the county and do that um chair it would
be great to reach out to the county we
had someone on there and then they kind
of did a not it it's you in an email
chain and so we don't really know who's
supposed to be on here
anymore okay I'll reach out to the
county then on that thank
