Wednesday afternoon 12-21-22 the City of Alamogordo honored former Mayor Donald E. Carroll in a naming ceremony at City Hall. Current and former commissioners, mayors, staff, and family were in attendance.
“It was a long 25 years,” said Rosemarie Carroll, Don Carroll’s wife, “Don’s motto was ‘If it isn’t good for the city, we are not going to do it.’”
Mayor Carroll is the longest-serving mayor of the City of Alamogordo, serving 12 years from March 1996 to March 2008. He gave 25 years of service to the City of Alamogordo as Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem, and a City Commissioner, elected in March of 1982.
Former Commission, Inez Moncada, served with Carroll, “Don was such a good mayor; he was diligent and always thoroughly researched every topic he considered bringing before the commission, very knowledgeable.”
During his term as Mayor, Carroll served on many boards including, but not limited to Chairman, New Mexico Self Insurers’ Fund; Chairman, Otero County Solid Waste Authority; Director, Southeastern New Mexico Economic Development District; Director, Otero County Economic Development Council and Co-Chair, Holloman AFB Restoration Advisory Board.
“I have a lot of respect for Don; he devoted himself to the city and our relationship with Holloman Air Force Base. He and I share a passion for water and the projects that the City has implemented, his work helps to ensure water security for our city now and well into the future,” said former Mayor Richard Boss.
Mayor Carroll helped to obtain funding for various water collection and delivery systems during his tenure. The water conservation measures that began in the 90s helped to drop the city’s per capita use. And in 2005, the City of Alamogordo won an “Innovative Water Conservation” award presented by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
Current New Mexico State Senator, and former City of Alamogordo Mayor & Commissioner, Ron Griggs was the catalyst for the recognition of Mayor Carroll. He shared, “Don dedicated a lot of his life to the City of Alamogordo, he was the longest-serving mayor, and definitely deserves the recognition he is receiving today.”
The City of Alamogordo is happy to be able to commemorate former Mayor Carroll’s service to Alamogordo and pleased to have his name adorning the commission chambers were he served for so many years.

What, no outrage for this poor victim of federal law enforcement who only acted in self defense?
i would make a polite suggestion; please describe the guys working on the store fronts as facade crews.
the term facade squad makes me think of another group of masked federal agents dispatched to do the trump regimes' dirty work.
If I don't feel like sitting at a table, will the Oppenheimer have a Geiger counter?
Torrez engaged in another frivolous lawsuit.
As I've stated previously, the grants in question were a demonstration program. Of course Dems like Torrez only know one meaning of the word demonstration, but this grant was not intended to provide funding for protests, it was a trial program.
I'm calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to change the official designation of the Lincoln from National Forest, to National Ashtray.
It's designation should be more in line with it's actual use.
does this mean that you don't have a personal relationship with brooke rollins? saying that, has pam bondi ever gotten back in touch with you regarding the source of funding for all those nasty protests against dear leader's royal inclinations? couple weeks back, you told us that news was going to break immedia
After looking at New Mexico election law, a person may run as a candidate for office in the primary of the party they are registered with, without first seeking that party's approval.
this is just another echo of the fight to recognize the health risks of exposure to agent orange in the decades after the vietnam war.
Laymans translation, Mr. Sharp is having some problems proving his clients contracted cancer from PFAS.
Notice he's not crying about coverage for known cancer causing agents, but PRESUMED cancer causing agents. That's because to date, there is no known PROOF of any adverse health effects from PFAS.
there's neighbor john, right on schedule. he has already declared his willingness for other folks to be exposed to well established risks in environmental situations - just as long as he can't see them from where he lives.
So, Miyagishima is going after Republican and Independent voters instead of the Democrat base in a blue state who's election laws are heavily biased towards Democrats. Tells you something about the state of the Democrat Party.
