Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rio Rancho public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Laguna Burger Beer & Wine License
A retired police deputy chief wanted to produce small-batch wine in his Northern Meadows garage and sell it off-site. The council worried that approving it would open the door to microbreweries and other home manufacturing, and denied the license 1-5.
Sandoval Economic Alliance Activity
Councilor Tyler wants to trim SEA funding to $55,000 and possibly move $20,000 to the Rio Rancho Chamber — a decision for a future meeting.
Collaboration among economic development organizations
Councilors heard overlap between the city, SEA, and the Chamber and proposed a quarterly collaboration meeting or economic development board to stop duplicated effort.
Sandia Area Federal Credit Union bank branch
A new bank branch is proposed at 4551 Safelite Blvd NE in the Enchanted Hills area, with a site plan hearing before the board.
