70
Community Development Director Steven Saavedra explained that after 71
the site visits he communicated with Eric Edgerton in regards to updating the 72
survey to show the electric line. Mr. Edgerton has since submitted a new 73
survey showing the electric line and that was provided in the agenda packet 74
for review. This item is back as requested by Eric Edgerton. 75
76
Commissioner Padilla mentioned that last time there were a lot of 77
concerns and asked it those had been addressed. Steven Saavedra 78
explained that he spoke with Ken George the Electric Director about the 79
concerns with the electric line and the only concern he had would be to make 80
sure they have 10 foot for an easement or adequate access to the electric 81
line. Commissioner Padilla also asked about how much land it was. Steven 82
Saavedra said it is 0.29 acres. Commissioner Padilla mentioned that it would 83
be nothing more and he felt that we should list that in the motion. Mayor 84
Snover mentioned that he felt this was just the way that it was estimated so 85
they said more or less. City Attorney Tyson Gobble explained that this is 86
common in survey because there might be some deviation in the GPS 87
coordinates and he has even seen them rounded up from the hundredths 88
spot, he feels like it will be alright as long as we know what is being sold. 89
Commissioner Lewis mentioned that he wants to make sure that Newman 90

AGENDA TITLE:
Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) 2021 Application
ACTION REQUESTED BY:
City Staff
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) 2021
Application
SUMMARY BY:
Kris Farmer
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / FACTS
New Mexico Youth Conservation Corps (NMYCC) uses a formal process to apply for
funding. Proposal due date is December 1, 2020 at 3pm.
Youth Conservation Corps Commission will equally distribute funds to projects in 2
categories: 1) Projects located in urban Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), which
include Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia, Dona Ana, Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Torrance and San
Juan Counties (urban counties) and 2) Projects located in all other Counties (Rural
Counties).
The City has had successful applications since 2003.
If funding is successful, the City is required to accept funding. Typically response is
required within a week of notification of grant award. Due to this, staff is requesting that the
City Manager be approved to accept the funding on behalf of the City.
YCC program requires that the City meet our match before the last reimbursement payment
will be processed. As a result, the proposal will not identify 100% of the anticipated City
match in the event that all projects are not completed or actual costs are less than estimated
costs.
Tiger Park Improvements have been identified as the project for FY21. Projects include:
Project 1. Development of Dog Park at Tiger Park
The City has acquired some land that is suitable for the development of a dog park on the
west side of its existing park, Tiger Park. The project will include fencing the dog park area,
building and installing dog park amenities.
Alternate 1. Aztec Disc Golf Course
The City has recently constructed an 18-basket disc golf course located northeast of Tiger
Park. The course requires permanent tee boxes and connecting trails between baskets and
tee boxes.
Alternate 2. Landscaping Improvements around Tiger Lake
The lake located at Tiger Park is central to the parks use as it provides fishing and a
walking/jogging track around the lake. At the time of its construction in 2010, the landscape
that had been installed has subsequently failed and has never addressed the issue of storm
water runoff and erosion. The City wants to redesign the hill slopes to address erosion
issues that have impacted the landscape and walking track around the lake. The old
irrigation system has failed and needs to be removed, the slope needs to be terraced, and a
drainage system needs to be constructed between the hill slopes and walking track.
It is estimated the program will begin in May 2021 with the hiring of the YCC youth and
continue through to the end of July 2021. The program will provide employment for 8 youth
plus 6 alternates and the YCC Coordinator.
This funding application continues the YCC youth wage pay scale which compensates
returning YCC members at a higher rate than non-experienced youth. The YCC youth also
benefit through the YCC Cash Bonus/Tuition Voucher Program. Corps members who have
worked 12 months in a 48 month period may be eligible to receive a $500 cash bonus or a
$1,500 tuition voucher. The tuition voucher maybe used over a two year period. Corp
members must have satisfactory employment evaluations during their YCC service to be
eligible.
The grant provides funding for youth employment and some program supplies. However,
the NMYCC desires a larger portion of the YCC funding to be utilized for youth wages. As a
result the bulk of the project supplies will be borne by the City.
The City has had successful YCC programs in the past; however, the summer months are
the busiest months for the Parks and Recreation Department, which makes it extremely
difficult to add supervision of 8 additional employees to staff. If the City’s proposal is
successful, the City will hire or recruit from within a project coordinator as in previous years.
PROCUREMENT
To ensure availability of materials and timely completion of projects listed, if funded, City will
begin procuring many items spring 2021, after Notice to Proceed is received. Any items
received prior to Notice to Proceed are not considered a match to the YCC funds.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Entire Project costs for FY20-21 proposed grant $59,262
Projected costs for labor and materials for YCC are as follows: $32,321
1. YCC Youth $28,826
2. Materials, Supplies and Training $ 3,495
Projected costs for labor and materials for City are as follows: $26,941
1. YCC Coordinator $ 6,788
2. Materials, Supplies and Training $20,153
The FY21 budget does not include funds for YCC for the month of June 2021. If
proposal submittal is authorized by City Commission and funding is granted, we will do a
special budget resolution to appropriate funds to cover wages, materials, supplies and
training for June 2021.
The program will actually cross the FY21 and FY22 budget years and funds will be
appropriated in FY22 to complete the City’s obligation if proposal submittal is authorized
by City commission and funding is granted.
FY 21 YCC Grant $19,780
FY 21 YCC City $16,112
$35,892
FY 22 YCC Grant $12,542
FY 22 YCC City $15,676

2. Mandatory Specifications, a. Project Overview
Project Summary - write give a brief summary of the project, 1-3 paragraphs
City of Aztec
Project 1. Development of Dog Park at Tiger Park
The City has acquired some land that is suitable for the development of a dog park on
the west side of its existing park, Tiger Park. The project will include fencing the dog park
area, building and installing dog park amenities.
Alternate 1. Aztec Disc Golf Course
The City has recently constructed an 18-basket disc golf course located northeast of
Tiger Park. The course requires permanent tee boxes and connecting trails between
baskets and tee boxes.
Alternate 2. Landscaping Improvements around Tiger Lake
The lake located at Tiger Park is central to the parks use as it provides fishing and a
walking/jogging track around the lake. At the time of its construction in 2010, the
landscape that had been installed has subsequently failed and has never addressed the
issue of storm water runoff and erosion. The City wants to redesign the hill slopes to
address erosion issues that have impacted the landscape and walking track around the
lake. The old irrigation system has failed and needs to be removed, the slope needs to
be terraced, and a drainage system needs to be constructed between the hill slopes and
walking track.

2. Mandatory Specifications, a. Project Overview
Describe how the project benefits the community and/or the environment:
City of Aztec
Project 1. Development of Dog Park at Tiger Park
The community has for years requested that the City develop an area specifically for dog
owners and their dogs where the dogs can run loose without a leash and owners can also
train their dogs with various features (e.g. jump overs, weave posts, etc).
Alternate 1. Aztec Disc Golf Course
With the closure of the local golf course, numerous disc golf players lost their disc golf
course on the east side of San Juan County. The City stepped up to the challenge by
working in collaboration with the non-profit organizations Aztec Trails and Open Spaces
(ATOS) and the San Juan Basin Disc Golf Club in designing and building an 18-basket disc
golf course. The course was designed with the professional in-mind with par 4 and 5
distances. The City is currently adding additional tee locations to accommodate beginners
and intermediate players (par 3). This course is unique to the San Juan County area and
expands on the City’s efforts to promote outdoor recreation to local residents and visitors.
Alternate 2. Landscaping Improvements around Tiger Lake
The erosion issues along the west and southern sides of the lake has over the years
impacted the walking/jogging trail around the lake, destroyed some of the landscaping, and
has potential to impact the lake which functions as the main water storage for the City
residents. The City wants to address these erosion issues so that future impacts do not
continue to impact the water storage and trail system.

Project 1 - Dog Park Development
1301 Old Spanish Trail, Aztec, NM 87410
The project will involve fencing the perimeter of the dog park, installing gates, excavation
and installation of water lines for drinking stations (human and dog), and dog
features/amenities.
Task 1. Delineate the dog park boundary and install 6 ft high fencing. An estimated 600
linear feet of new fencing in conjunction with 375 ft already existing which will enclose the
dog park (1.3 acres). The dog park will be designed with two separate areas so that dog
owners can be accommodated with the type/size of dog they own. This will require
modifying the current one gate entrance into a two gate entrance at the north side of the
dog park and installing 200 ft of additional fencing to separate the two areas.
Task 2. Remove the existing gravel area that currently exists in the northern portion of the
area. This gravel may be recycled/reused for the walking/jogging trail around the lake.
Task 3. Remove any cactus or prickly vegetation (e.g. tumble weed) that may exist in the
southern area of the dog park.
Task 4. Trench and install water lines from the main Tiger Park water line to the two drinking
stations within the dog park.
Task 5. Design, construct, and/or install dog features/amenities for each area. Features will
include, 2 benches, 2 water stations, 2 dog walks, 2 sets of weave posts, 2 jump-overs, and
2 waste stations with trash cans. Most of the features will be designed and constructed
in-house by the City.

Alternate 1 - Aztec Disc Golf Course
1301 Old Spanish Trail, Aztec, NM 87410
This project will involve trail development and making the tee-boxes permanent.
Task 1. Clear and define trail segments between the basket locations and next tee-boxes.
The trails will be cleared with 6 foot path ways and lined along the edges with 6” to 8” river
cobble for delineation. Estimated 3,700 linear ft of trails. Two trail segments will require
switch backs to be constructed to provide better access from the tee-boxes to the baskets
(Holes 3 and 5).
Task 2. Tee boxes will have dirt removed and replaced with concrete. This will require
mixing concrete at tee-box locations and applying a 1 to 2 inch layer. The long distant tee
boxes are 5 ft by 10 ft (18 tee locations) while the intermediate tee-boxes are 4 ft by 6 ft (11
tee locations). Estimate 1,164 sq ft or twelve 60 lb bags of concrete per tee-box.

ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of Intent to Adopt Ordinance 2020-510 Amending
SUMMARY BY:
Chapter 16, Division 3, Section 16-181 Electric Rates
Delain George
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / FACTS
St
aff recommends adoption of the electric rate structure as proposed which includes a solar
rate structure for multiple classes of customers. The ordinance is drafted to include a
subsequent increase on July 1, 2022.
All e
lectric customers, Residential, Commercial, Solar and Non-solar pay a power supply
cost based on individual monthly usage.
Ac
tual impact of the electric rate structure will vary for each customer based on the type of
customer and their individual usage.
The
current residential solar rate assesses a $38.00 Customer Charge to a solar customer.
The current non-solar residential customer is charged $25.75, which includes the first 100
kWh consumed. The proposed ordinance will decrease the solar customer charge to
$25.75 to be the same as a non-solar customer charge and will also include the first 100
kWh purchased from the City.
By decreasing the solar customer charge to mirror the non-solar customer charge, it is
proposed that when the solar customer receives electricity from the City of Aztec the rate to
purchase power from the City should also mirror that of the non-solar customer. In other
words; When the solar customer does not generate enough solar power to supply the total
monthly needs of the individual home use
and must rely on the City of Aztec for to provide
electricity to meet their individual electric monthly usage, the solar rate will be the same rate
of that of a non-solar customer for the usage purchased from the City. The proposed solar
rate change mirrors that of the current non-solar rate and will have the same tiered rate of
that of a current non-solar customer.
The
proposed solar rate also recognizes the need to promote solar. This proposed
ordinance adds a rate at which the City of Aztec will continue to "NET" meter and will begin
to purchase excess kilowatt hours generated by solar, by the individual customer, based on
cumulative monthly net consumption of all electricity received and delivered by the
customer. In other words, if the solar customer generates more electricity than they use in
any monthly billing cycle, the City will purchase the excess power at $.04250 ( four and one
forth cents)per kilowatt hour, the cost in which the City purchases power from our main
power provider, Guzman Energy, Inc. We currently have a 10 year contract to purchase
power for the City of Aztec as a whole, at a rate of $0.0425 per kilowatt hour.
The ordinance proposed is to bring equality to the rate structure for all electric customers.
The proposed ordinance has an effective date of January 1, 2021 for the remainder of
FY2021 and will increase at start of fiscal year 2022 to stay in line will all electric rates.
PROCUREMENT
None
FISCAL IMPACTS
The proposed electric rate structure is not anticipated to have significant impacts on current
electric utility revenues.
In Summary the proposed ordinance is to:
decrease the monthly solar customer charge
add a usage charge, to solar customer rates, when electricity is purchased from the City
of Aztec, this is in addition to the power supply cost already charged to all electric
customers.
add a rate to purchase excess generation from the customer
