ACTION REQUESTED:
Resolution 26-53: Adoption of Resolution 26-53: Roswell Transit FY28 Financial Commitment. (Gass/Hicks)
BACKGROUND:
Initiated by: Becky Hicks
On August 17, 2028, the NMDOT opened the Transit Section 5311 grant application for FY2028. The application process includes a Resolution from the governing body of the City of Roswell for financial support. The application is due by October 2, 2026. Due to this unusual timeline, we were unable to present the request to Infrastructure Committee prior to Finance and City Council. This Resolution is required by NMDOT every year.
