N. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-_____. A
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF SANTA FE’S 2028-2032
INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN.
Amendment C - Interfaith Project
Public comment in response to a question from a Councilor as to what lessons
Interfaith learned from the issues at their previous location.
Mr. Kent Grubbs. Mr. Grubbs said they would not tolerate any criminal activity
on our property. We are partnering with another organization to look at the surrounding
area to provide protection and a buffer zone through teams canvassing the designated
area on a regular schedule. There will be a collaboration with first responders and the
Police Department as to who is responsible for what. A protocol will be designed.
Marisol Atkins. Ms. Atkins said we have clear language in our operations that
we will have street outreach and are committed to have collaboration with other entities.
Councilor Question. What has been done to improve leadership moving in the
right direction.
Marisol Atkins. Ms. Atkins said communication has taken place. We have
been in communication with Urban Alchemy, not necessarily to partner with them, but to
work together. We have letters from 19 organizations who want to work with us.
Kent Grubbs. Mr. Grubbs said we have the support of the other players in this
ecosystem. They have indicated their intent to have a physical presence on our
campus. He does not think the Governing Body fully understands what we have done
toward this project.
MOTION A motion was made by Councilor Castro, seconded by Councilor Feghali,
to approve Amendment C adding the Interfaith project to the ICIP list.
VOTE The motion failed on a roll call vote of 4 no and 3 yes, as follows:
