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.

worthwhile steps in the battle to keep the trump/musk regime from converting our nation into a government of the billionaires, for the billionaires, and by the billionaires.
Torrez did NOT win the lawsuit, which is still pending.
This was a preliminary injunction, blocking the termination of grants until the case is heard.
You forgot to mention Flag Day, Saturday, June 14th.
I was puzzled as to why June 30th would be set as National Meteor Day, because I didn't recall any major meteor showers on or around that date.
So I looked it up. It turns out it's a date I should've remembered.
and, it's useful to note that the 14th will be NO KINGS DAY, with peaceful demonstrations across the nation - calling for concerned citizens to protest the actions of the trump/musk regime - and save our constitutional form of government.
All the evidence is pointing to un-elected people running our country for four years. You should've been holding "No King" protests the past 4 years. But instead you hold it against a duly elected president.
After reading Milk's bio on Wikipedia I can't see why anyone would want to name a ship or anything else for him.
For one thing, he was a pedophile;
they could name it the donald j. trump, for a draft dodger whose daddy saw to it that a doctor provided a questionable letter, stating that he had bone spurs...resulting in a draft deferment during the vietnam war.
You bring up a good point, this class of ships are being named for civil rights leaders, and president Trump definitely fits into that category.
He has a store in Alamogordo, but is based in Artesia. Kinda like calling Walmart a local business.
If you look up Peco's Valley Pizza, dba as Domino's Pizza you'll find he has had multiple lawsuits against him and his company, more than one of which were for unpaid wages, among other things.
Mr. Baake,
several students placed in the top five statewide and nine in the top three
And that out of what appears to be a class of 7.
Gotta love the new math.
Are we over reacting to these measles outbreaks?
From the headlines and stories you'd think measles were as deadly as Anthrax.
Before the 1970's, getting the measles was just part of growing up, and for the most part was treated with the same urgency as a cold or skinned knee.
"if we can prevent a disease, why not take those preventative measures?" well said.
