The legislation defines how proposed capital projects will be ranked, assigns weighted criteria for evaluation, and allocates estimated bond funding across major service areas. The total anticipated 2027 General Obligation Bond Program is approximately $165 million, a $15M reduction from 2025 and a $35M reduction from 2023.\r\n\r\nAnalysis: The resolution implements requirements of the Capital Improvements Ordinance by providing the framework for the City’s ten-year capital planning process. It directs departments to review and prioritize projects consistent with adopted City policies, including the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Comprehensive Plan, growth policies, and the City’s five-year goals and one-year objectives.\r\n\r\nThe legislation establishes a policy emphasis on rehabilitation and deficiency correction, setting a goal that approximately 90 percent of the 2027 bond program and decade plan be dedicated to existing facilities and systems. Of that amount, 55 percent is targeted specifically toward rehabilitation projects, defined as those that extend service life or restore original performance or capacity.\r\n\r\nThe resolution also prioritizes investment in socially vulnerable and geographically inequitable areas, using criteria identified by the Office of Equity and Inclusion and prior Council-adopted equity policy.\r\nProjects proposed for inclusion in the bond program must be rated by a staff committee using the criteria attached to the resolution. Ratings are categorized as high, medium, or low priority, with a limitation that no more than 15 percent of the Mayor’s proposed bond funding may be allocated to projects rated as low priority.\r\n\r\nThe resolution further requires the Administration to categorize all projects as growth, rehabilitation, deficiency, or mandate, ensuring consistent classification across departments.\r\n\r\nFiscal Impact: The resolution itself has no measurable fiscal impact and does not appropriate funds. It establishes policy guidance and allocation targets for the future 2027 General Obligation Bond Program, which is estimated at $165 million. Fiscal impacts associated with individual capital projects will be addressed in the recommended program of capital improvements and subsequent bond legislation.\r\n\r\nKey Dates:\r\nPlanning horizon: 2027–2036 Decade Plan\r\nBond program year: 2027\r\nEstimated bond capacity: Approximately $165 million\r\nProject rating and submission: As part of the 2027 capital planning process that takes place during 2026.\r\n\r\nComments: The resolution allocates the estimated $165 million 2027 General Obligation Bond Program across major functional areas as follows:\r\n\r\nStreets (Department of Municipal Development): Approximately $33.75 million (20 percent)\r\n\r\nStorm Drainage (Hydrology): Approximately $8.25 million (5 percent)\r\n\r\nParks and Recreation: Approximately $16.5 million (10 percent)\r\n\r\nPublic Safety (including Albuquerque Community Safety, Police, Fire Rescue, and Emergency Management): Approximately $19 million (11.5 percent)\r\n\r\nTransit: Approximately $3.25 million (2 percent)\r\n\r\nHousing, Homelessness, and Health: Approximately $11.5 million (7 percent)\r\n\r\nOther Community Facilities and Departments: Approximately $44.5 million (27 percent)\r\n\r\nCouncil-Neighborhood Set-Aside Program: $15.75 million (10 percent), with projects identified by each district Councilor and subject to approval by the full Council\r\n\r\nEnergy-Efficient Projects Set-Aside: Approximately $5 million (3 percent)\r\n\r\nOpen Space Land Acquisition Set-Aside: Approximately $5 million (3 percent)\r\nArt in Public Places Set-Aside: Approximately $2.5 million (1.5 percent of each bond purpose)\r\n\r\nThe resolution is procedural, establishing how capital priorities will be evaluated and funded rather than selecting specific projects.
