Alamogordo City Commission Convenes 6:30 Tuesday Swearing In

Chris Edwards Editor

The Alamogordo City Commission begins its new term tonight. The meeting will begin with the swearing in of new commissioners. Then a vote on a new mayor pro temp and seating order.

After that the agenda is detailed in hosting a variety of zoning concerns and addressing dilapidated buildings. The meeting kicks of a new commission with great expectations and a hefty agenda in the new year.

The new commission is being seated in a year of significant uncertainty in politics with a presidential and congressional election looming in November. The divides of nationalism and extremism in national debate may or may not influence local decision making. The public is invited to join the dialogue locally as the commission addresses local spikes in crime, business development, issues around the closing of the Fun Center, zoning rules ordinance changes that need to occur to bring Alamogordo into consistency with Las Cruces and other cities around building standards and more.

The agenda for tonight has 22 items for consideration and can be found at https://alamogordonm.portal.civicclerk.com/event/2873/files/3394
