114
Mayor Snover opened the item up for discussion. He mentioned that there has 115
been an amendment to the resolution.
116
Commissioner Sipe explained that after conversations with legal counsel the 117
resolution has been amended because of concerns in wording by legal counsel. 118
Commissioner Randall mentioned that he had an issue with the fact that a version
119
went out in the packet and web and this is what the citizen’s saw and then today he is 120
handed an amended version of the resolution. He mentioned that he would still like to 121
move ahead with the resolution that was presented to everyone in the agenda packet. 122
City Attorney Nicci Unsicker explained that in the original resolution there are 123
concerns that would open the City up to liability so the amended version is to help 124
reduce the liability and still have the voices heard. 125
Mayor Snover explained several Cities have received a letter from the Attorney 126
General’s Office warning them of the language in the resolutions that have been 127
passed. He stated that every Commissioner supports the Second Amendment and they 128
all swore an oath, but they don’t want to get the City in a situation from a legal 129
standpoint. 130
Commissioner Sipe mentioned that over and over in the Community forums she 131
heard that the citizens wanted the Commission to support the Second Amendment and 132
this new resolution basically states that. 133
Mayor Snover read the amended resolution. 134
The audience started to become unruly and they Mayor gave them several 135
warnings to settle down or the meeting would end. 136

Rural Economic Development Innovation (REDI)
Letter of Commitment and Support
Dear Evaluators,
I respectively submit this letter of commitment and support on behalf of the City of Aztec
located in San Juan County, NM as a part of the Four Corners Economic Development, Inc.
(4CED) application for the planning grant offered through the Rural Economic Development
Innovation (REDI) initiative. With the dramatic changes we are witnessing in the energy sector
in the Four Corners region, we are aligned with 4CED's goal of promoting the interaction of our
diverse rural communities in finding solutions and building collaborative efforts to begin to
diversify our regional economy.
We have participated with 4CED and other entities in initiating a 4-state collaborative effort
known as the 4C Future Forum. Two forums were successfully executed in the last two
consecutive years with participation from the 4-state regions: NW New Mexico, SW Colorado,
NE Arizona, and SE Utah with representatives from the Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe,
Hopi Tribe, and Laguna Pueblo. Six priority areas have been identified through this process and
action teams will be established in this next phase to address the first three priorities:
Connectivity/IT Infrastructure; 4C Marketing, and Local Foods Initiative.
The City of Aztec supports this program because we believe it will benefit Aztec and the region
to continue the efforts already initiated to promote the four corners region with regional
economic diversity being a primary focus. We see tremendous opportunity in working with
4CED to expand and diversify the economy in the Four Corners Region. If you have questions or
comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Victor C. Snover
Mayor

The Library, during the normal course of operations, reviews circulation of all materials.
Materials which are not circulating or are out of date are pulled from the shelves and
become surplus material. These items would have been purchased with city or state
library funds or donated to the library. Materials pulled include a large collection of adult
and youth books, several DVDs and music CDs.
Approved library surplus items will be disposed of in a variety of ways to best serve the
library and the community. Materials which may have use to Good Sam’s, local schools,
and/or veteran’s programs will be donated. Materials which may have public interest will
be packaged and available for sale at the library. Other materials may be packaged and
sent to book outlets at no cost to the city. The Public Surplus website has not resulted in
interest for library materials, although it will continue to be utilized as well.

o Funding request items must be included in ICIP
o Applications are required to be approved by governing body.
The FY20 Capital Outlay Request for the Aztec Senior Center, if recommended for

session for General Obligation Bond Capital Outlay. If approved by the legislature and
governor, the project(s) would be included on the November 2020 ballot for voter

providing consistent heating and cooling. Increase kitchen functionality by adding more space for preparation
and service; upgrading and adding more storage; adding additional sinks for sanitation; adding the aesthetics
of the main room by closing the dish room and storage areas; b) Reduction of safety risk. Make receiving dock
more accessible and safer for delivery drivers and the kitchen staff. Flooring replacement will reduce tripping
hazards in public areas improving safety for senior participants and c) Visibility and accessibility. The project
location experiences high usage by the public. New flooring will give the area a needed face lift. The increased
functionality of the facility will benefit the daily users, workers and the community as whole.

RFP Request For Proposals
NM OSA New Mexico Office of the State Auditor
The recommendation for an annual audit contract for services is required to be
submitted to OSA for approval by May 15, 2019.
Although the City’s cost for annual financial audit services is below the $60,000 limit to
require the formal RFP or bid, the State Audit rule
(https://www.saonm.org/state_auditor_rule) encourages government entities to request
proposals for audit services and enter into a multi-year agreement. A single firm (or
same individuals associated with another firm) may perform audit services for six years
consecutively before the City is required to change firms. Under New Mexico
procurement, the maximum term for professional services is four years (based on total
value of contract).
RFP 2017-608 for audit services was awarded to RPC CPAs + Consultants LLP in April
2017. Audit costs for FY17, FY18 and FY19 were established in the RFP award.
RPC CPAs + Consultants, LLP merged with accounting firm Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC
in 2017 after the award of RFP 2017-608. As of March 28, 2019, Carr, Riggs & Ingram,
LLC is an approved audit firm by the NM OSA.
If the Commission approves continuing with Carr, Riggs & Ingram for the FY19 annual
audit, the recommendation will be submitted to the NM OSA for approval. Upon
approval, a contract will be generated for signatures (City and audit firm) and submitted
to the OSA electronically.
PROCUREMENT / PURCHASING
Five qualified proposals were received in response to RFP 2017-608. The evaluation
committee independently reviewed and scored each proposal on the criteria established
in the RFP. The committee recommended RPC CPAs + Consultants LLP (aka Carr,
Riggs & Ingram, LLC) be retained for annual audit services for the City.
FISCAL INPUT / FINANCE DEPARTMENT
The FY20 Preliminary Budget includes:
General Fund Finance Department specific to FY19 annual audit: $45,000.00 plus tax
If the City Commission approves the 3
rd
year proposal for Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC to
perform the FY2019 annual audit, the audit contract request will be submitted
electronically to NM OSA for approval. Upon NM OSA approval, the contract will be
signed a representative for Carr, Riggs & Ingram LLC and the Mayor (final contract will
not be presented to City Commission for approval).

Resolution 2019-1130 Animas River Habitat
Enhancement and Bank Stabilization Grant
ACTION REQUESTED
BY:
Jeff Blackburn
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of Resolution 2019-1130 Animas River Habitat
Enhancement and Bank Stabilization Grant
SUMMARY BY:
City Staff
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / FACTS
The project scope will focus on the Animas River in Rio de Animas Park, and in
Riverside Park in Aztec. The site has been identified by the City of Aztec as a target for
enhancing riparian habitat, establishing quality in-stream habitat, bank stabilization, and
improved recreation access with the goal of a healthy, functional ecosystem along the
Animas River that benefits natural and human uses alike.
Previous attempts to control the river in these parks with concrete block, car bodies,
etc., have made the river unsafe in areas where we are inviting human use, as well as,
creating ecological liabilities. These issues have been know by the City for some time,
but were most apparent during the drought last year, when the Animas River was at its
lowest level in quite some time.
The goal of the project is to provide a safe river corridor for waders, floaters, boaters
and fisherman from Rio de Animas park to Townsend Property, and to preserve the
bank along the river. This is our first step towards that goal. The project will also tie in
with the Outdoor Recreation Industry Initiative and the North Main Expansion projects.
In Riverside Park where we have constructed a concrete walking path on south end of
the park, our goal is to slow erosion which now threatens the integrity of the path. In Rio
de Animas Park our goal is to remove "junk" near the current raft launch and make the
area safer for river access. The project will also preserve mature cottonwoods along the
bank, decrease invasive plant species, increase channel depth, and help preserve
adjacent stream banks. In the process, the aquatic and riparian ecosystem will be
improved.
Both phases will be coordinated with: the City of Aztec; San Juan Soil and Water
Conservation District (SJSWCD); Basin Hydrology; and Cottonwood Consulting.
General Services/Parks Director Jeff Blackburn will serve as the Project Manager.
SJSWCD, Field Representative, Kurt Imhoff will serve as the Assistant Project Director.
If funding is awarded, it is anticipated the project will be scheduled for fall of 2019.
No procurement requirements specific to the funding application submittal. If funding is
approved, there will be various levels of procurement to be completed in compliance
with state statute and city policy.
FISCAL INPUT / FINANCE DEPARTMENT
The application includes a commitment of $31,260 In-Kind match provided by the City of
Aztec. These costs are included in the FY20 preliminary budget in the form of existing
personnel and equipment costs.

centered on the river being safe, accessible, and an example of functional riparian and
aquatic habitat. The project components proposed in this application are the first step
towards realizing this goal, and were carefully selected for this purpose. The rationale
for these specific components’ selection over others includes:
High likelihood of success. The positive working relationships between and
prior experience of the applicants, as well as the selection of project
components that can stand alone until additional project components are built,
increases the likelihood of project success in both the short and the long term.
Ecological impairment. The banks of the Animas within the project are denuded
of native vegetation, colonized by invasive plants, structurally failing, and
contributing to water quality issues in the river. Restoration done here would
provide significant improvement relative to expenditure.
Structural risk. Erosive risk to existing infrastructure on city property
necessitates action on a shorter timescale than at other potential project sites in
the area.
Visibility and accessibility. The project location experiences high usage by the
public, and is easy to access for construction and monitoring relative to other
potential project areas. The presence of a highly-visible, functional project in
Aztec will facilitate community support for future riverside projects on private
and public property.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The project reach extends along the Animas River from Rio de Animas Park
downstream to Riverside Park in Aztec, New Mexico. This site is part of both the ‘San
Juan River to Estes Arroyo’ and ‘Estes Arroyo to Southern Ute Indian Tribe Boundary’
reaches of the Animas River Watershed, which have been identified as impaired
(Categories 4A and 5/5B, respectively) on the Integrated §303(d)/ §305(b) List of
Assessed Surface Waters (State of NM Water Quality Control Commission, 2016). The
site has been identified by the City of Aztec as a target for enhancing riparian habitat,
establishing quality in-stream habitat, bank stabilization, and improved recreation
access with the goal of a healthy, functional ecosystem along the Animas River that
benefits natural and human uses alike.
2.1 RESTORATION NEED ON THE ANIMAS RIVER
The Animas River, typical of semi-arid streams in the region, has historically exhibited a
weakly-bimodal flow regime. In late spring, annual snowmelt runoff caused a high-
flow event that would last for a period of days to weeks, mobilizing sediment and
spilling onto adjacent floodplain surfaces. This regularly-occurring event was paired
with the spatiotemporally-variable occurrences of monsoon rains, which would cause
high-flow events during the summer months. While the duration and intensity of these
two flow event types differed, they served similar functions excess wood, sediment,
and organic material were flushed; seeds were dispersed and established; and a variety
of in-channel and riparian habitats were sustained, to the benefit of native flora and
fauna.
With the onset of Euroamerican settlement in the region, land-use changes began to
have consequences on riverine and floodplain function in the region. Regulation and
diversion of in-stream water altered the timing, magnitude, and duration of floods in
the Animas River. Appropriation of floodplains for residential and agricultural uses
often involving levee construction and draining/ditching practices resulted in large
scale separation of active channels from adjacent floodplains, wetlands, and off-channel
features (Levick et al., 2008). Thirdly, altered surface runoff from development and
agricultural practices forced hydrologic changes in the river itself. These effects forced

JANUARY 2016 5
the Animas to adjust its morphology to the post-development flow and sediment
regime (Zeedyk and Clothier, 2009).
The effects of this adjustment on water quality and habitat has been considerable.
Channel narrowing and flow/sediment imbalances have greatly reduced habitat
diversity of in-stream and riparian areas on the Animas. Furthermore, recruitment of
native riparian species has suffered in the altered hydrologic regime, promoting the
establishment and continued expansion of non-native invasive species (Shah et al.,
2007). Over time, the Animas has narrowed, incised, disconnected from its floodplain,
lost a high percentage of stabilizing riparian cover, and contributed ever-increasing
sediment loads as adjustment goes on and banks continue to erode.
These issues will continue to worsen in the absence of treatment. Recruitment of native
riparian plant species is practically nonexistent, and invasives such as Russian Olive
(Elaeagnus angustifolia) are well-established. What cover exists is often eroded as the
river adjusts its bed and banks to the new regime. Attempts to address bank erosion
have actually exacerbated the problem - concrete blocks, erodible rock, and debris (e.g.,
car bodies) are failing, exposing banks denuded of vegetation and contributing large
amounts of sediment. These bank features, as currently constructed, are ecological
liabilities and dangerous for members of the public accessing the river. Existing bank
stabilization measures have also had the effect of furthering channel constriction, which
limits habitat diversity by promoting the development of a single-thread glide. As the
banks continue to fail, water quality, riparian community composition, and public
access and safety suffers with it. The various issues faced in the project area have long
been known to public entities in the area, and were included in planning documents
such as the Lower Animas River Watershed Based Plan (LAWBP, 2016).
2.2 PROJECT AREA BACKGROUND / PREVIOUS PROJECTS
At Rio de Animas park, the City has to date only undergone minor development, and
has identified bank erosion, vegetation, and safety issues to address there. At present,
the majority of the downstream-most 200 feet of the river bank is composed of concrete,
metal, and debris, which is failing and contributing debris to the river. The metal,
concrete, and debris in this bank also serves as a river user hazard. Vegetation along
this bank is a mixture of mature cottonwood and Russian Olive. The City’s long-term
goal for Rio de Animas is the restoration and stabilization of this bank, along with the
establishment of a boat ramp and river access here. Given that it is the furthest
upstream parcel owned by the City on the Animas River, the goal is to provide a safe
put-in site for floaters, boaters, and fishermen.
DRAFT
ANIMAS RIVER HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND BANK STABILIZATION PROJECT - NMED STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
JANUARY 2016 6
Similar conditions prevail at Riverside park. Within the project area, the city has already
established a concrete walking path that parallels the river-right bank. At present, this
path is imperiled in several locations by the rapidly-eroding bank, part of which is
composed of failing rock structures and rock gabions (Appendix C). Mature
cottonwoods along this project component are also at risk due to the ongoing erosion.
Riparian vegetation is almost completely absent, but heavily consists of Russian Olive.
In the past, the City has conducted Russian Olive removal to address non-native
expansion in the reach, but little native planting occurred during this process and there
remains much Russian Olive to treat.
At both project components, the channel and adjacent streambanks would benefit from
well-planned, geomorphically-viable stabilization efforts that include (rather than
preclude) native plant establishment. In the process, aquatic and riparian ecosystem
function could be drastically improved, while improving water quality and rendering
the area safe for users. This would ultimately serve the City’s interests in improving this
park for the benefit of citizens and wildlife alike.
Photos of the project area are located in Appendix C.

3.2 PERMITS, CLEARANCES, AND SURVEYS REQUIRED
The following permits, clearances, and surveys will be required to implement this
project:
Biological Evaluation. An assessment to confirm the presence or absence of state
and federally-listed species under the Endangered Species Act. Though
voluntary, this process would help avoid future litigation or interruption of the
project.
In-Stream Construction. US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permits under
Section 404 (discharge of fill material) will be obtained from the New Mexico
Environmental Department (NMED) and USACE. Initial conversation with the
USACE Durango Regulatory Office has occurred.
4. PROJECT GOALS, METHODS, AND IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 PROJECT GOALS
The goals and component objectives of this effort are as follows:
Goal 1) Stabilize eroding banks to protect infrastructure and improve water quality
Objective 1a: Remove failing stabilization and armoring material. Rock, metal,
and debris will be transferred off-site to a safe and legal dumping area by the
City of Aztec.
Objective 1b: Construct bank stabilization/erosion control structures in a manner
that redirects flow and dissipates energy along eroding banks and adjacent
infrastructure. Photo documentation and monitoring of the stabilization
structures will be conducted to ascertain project success.
Goal 2) Enhance riparian and aquatic habitat within the project area
Objective 2a: Remove noxious weeds and woody plants from the project area
using mechanical and/or herbicidal methods. Measure pre- and post-treatment
coverage of riparian plant species using greenline transects.
Objective 2b: Improve coverage and density of native riparian plant species
through seeding and transplant efforts on newly-shaped banks and other
appropriate surfaces. Protect newly-planted vegetation with fencing, and
measure pre- and post-project coverage through greenline transects. Monitor
post-project survivorship (%) after a period of 1 year.
DRAFT
ANIMAS RIVER HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND BANK STABILIZATION PROJECT - NMED STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
JANUARY 2016 8
Goal 3) Improve accessibility and safety of riparian and riverine areas to the public
Objective 3a: Remove dangerous materials such as metal, concrete, and debris
from in-stream and riparian sections of the project area. A pre-project survey of
hazardous material will be conducted, and project construction will include the
removal and disposal of identified hazardous material. A post-construction
survey will be conducted to ensure that all hazardous materials were removed.
Objective 3b: In concert with bank stabilization structures, step-down terraces of
rock will be installed that allow public access and recreation along the river,
while allowing for the habitat, bank stabilization, and water quality aspects of
constructed banks to continue functioning.
4.2 PROJECT METHODS
To achieve Goal 1, the following methods will be employed. To address failing bank
stabilization measures, the existing rock, rock gabions, concrete, metal, and other debris
will be mechanically removed from the bank. Banks will be sloped back and/or armored
with rock, according to geomorphic position and site-specific processes ongoing at the
two project component sites. Additionally, rock structures will be constructed to deflect
in-channel flow and promote scour and side-channel pocket habitat. These structures
are likely to be J-hooks, but the location and specific design elements of these structures
will need to be determined as part of the design process. Construction will be
performed using heavy mechanical equipment and operators with experience working
in rivers on restoration projects. The newly-stabilized banks will be planted with seed
and woody transplants to further stabilize the site. Seeding will also occur on adjacent
bank areas that did not require mechanical stabilization, where suitable. Further
information regarding native plantings is discussed in the methods section for Goal 2.
To achieve Goal 2, noxious weeds and woody vegetation will be removed from the
project site’s riparian areas using mechanical and/or herbicidal methods, according to
the position, age class, and the species that is being removed. The removal of these
plants will aid in the establishment of currently outcompeted natives, and promote
ecosystem resiliency in the project area. The primary targeted noxious species in this
project area is Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), though other invasives will be
treated as encountered, as able. The native plants seeded along the newly-stabilized
banks will be composed of a variety of grasses, forbs, shrubs, and trees, including
Coyote willow (Salix exigua), and Narrowleaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia).
Cuttings, transplants, and seed will be dispersed in a way to diversity native plant

cover and age classes. The revegetation achieved will provide a variety of cover types to
be utilized by native fauna and enjoyed by river and riparian area users.
To achieve Goal 3, the process of removing failed stabilization measures will include a
general removal of hazardous debris from the project area. At present, the banks are
steep, eroding, and contain numerous materials that present a risk for bodily injury for
members of the general public. This includes metal rebar, car parts, broken concrete,
and other materials that present a risk of bodily harm to users in the river or along the
banks. As construction of stabilization measures occurs, additional debris that is
encountered in the river will be removed. All harmful material that is removed will be
disposed of at the landfill. The process of bank stabilization will include stepped rock
structures that allow for easy, safe access to the water by river users this will be a
greatly improved situation compared to the existing site conditions.

JANUARY 2016 11
The City of Aztec is committed to the overarching process of enhancing riparian/aquatic
habitat, improving safety and public access, and addressing water quality issues
throughout the Animas River’s reach within city limits an effort that both predates
and will outlast this proposed project. The city is set to commit up to $31,620 of in-kind
contribution to the construction and maintenance of this project, which includes
personnel hours, fuel, and equipment usage to assist in project construction and
maintenance. This value represents just over 20% of the entire project cost.
In addition, the San Juan Soil and Water Conservation District is committed to water
quality and habitat improvements in the project area, which featured prominently in
the Lower Animas River Watershed Based Plan (2016). Efforts by the San Juan Soil and
Water Conservation District to address noxious weeds, riparian health issues, in-
channel habitat, and water quality are well-documented and will aid in ensuring the
lasting quality of this and future projects undertaken by the City of Aztec.

8. RELEVANT PROJECT TEAM EXPERIENCE
Team members involved in this proposal have overseen the successful implementation
of similar projects over recent years. This includes projects with similar management
issues and site characteristics, including:
Lower Animas River Watershed Based Plan Implementation Projects (Phase I):
From 2017-2019, the SJSWCD and Basin Hydrology were involved in the
planning, design, and construction of bank stabilization measures in Flora Vista
at the Ranchmans-Terrell Ditch Diversion. This project is ongoing, but the
installation of stream structures has already had an effect in reducing bank
erosion and promoting scour in the active channel, to the benefit of the ditch
managers and aquatic wildlife.
Cedar River “Riverbend” Levee Setback and Floodplain Restoration Project:
Prior to working for the SJSWCD, Mr. Imhoff was worked on various river and
riparian restoration projects in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. One
such project was a complex restoration project in Renton, WA. In a city-owned
park in a heavily developed area, Kurt designed a levee setback effort that
included bank stabilization, native plant establishment, and a focus on habitat
enhancement, public access, and water quality.

SUMMARY BY:
Aztec Municipal Judge / City Staff
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / FACTS
Judge Carlton Gray met with City Commission at a workshop on March 26, 2019 to provide City
Commission with information on salaries from several municipalities across New Mexico.
Compensation for the Aztec Municipal Judge is established by City Code (Sec. 2-166) and is
currently set at $35,000 annually. The annual salary has not been reexamined since 2003. The
Municipal Judge receives benefits established by City Code (Sec. 2-167) including paid
vacation, sick leave and holiday pay as provided in the personnel policy as adopted by the City
Commission.
By NM State Statute, a municipal Judge’s salary can only be adjusted based on the Judge’s
election cycle. Therefore any change in compensation for the municipal judge will not take effect
until after the 2020 Municipal Election and swearing into office.
The Aztec Municipal judge and City Manager are requesting annual compensation for the
Municipal Judge be established by City Code at a fifty percent (50%) of the State Magistrate’s
salary. A change to Aztec City code would ensure that the Municipal Judge’s salary would be
examined and adjusted every election cycle. A Magistrate Judge’s salary is established based
on the NM judicial annual budget submitted by the Chief Justice of the NM Supreme Court.
FISCAL IMPACTS
This will have a fiscal impact to the budget after the next municipal election and subsequent
fiscal years.
