The ICIP is a comprehensive, multi-year strategic plan designed to identify, prioritize, and fund critical capital projects aimed at maintaining, modernizing, and expanding the City’s essential infrastructure and public facilities. \r\n\r\nSubmittal of the ICIP to the Council for approval by March 1st of each year is required by 2-12-9 of the City Code of Ordinances. The ICIP is also required by the State of New Mexico for projects to be considered for Capital Outlay distributed by the Governor’s Office. The City’s 2026 plan identifies five key areas as follows: \r\n1.\tAffordable, Transitional, and Supportive Housing and Homeless Facilities. \r\n2.\tPublic Safety Technology, Equipment and Facilities.\r\n3.\tEconomic Growth and Placemaking through Continued Development of the \r\nRail Trail. \r\n4.\tEnergy Efficiency and Climate Resilient Infrastructure. \r\n5.\tProtecting Vulnerable Road Users through Vision Zero Investments.\r\n\r\nAnalysis:   \r\n•\tThe whereas clauses of this Resolution list the following reasons for why these \r\npriorities are listed in the plan.\r\n\tAffordable, Transitional, and Supportive Housing and Homeless Facilities. \r\nCommunity members are experiencing housing insecurity and rising rental costs, increasing the need for more affordable, transitional, and supportive housing and investments in our homeless facilities to help foster stability, dignity, and equitable access to safe living environments.\r\n\tPublic Safety Technology, Equipment and Facilities. Modern public safety \r\nchallenges require robust and responsive measures, including enhancing technology, equipment and facilities to improve emergency response, protect lives, and ensure that Albuquerque Community Safety, Albuquerque Fire Rescue and the Albuquerque Police Department are equipped to meet the evolving needs of the community.\r\n\tEconomic Growth and Placemaking through Continued Development of \r\nthe Rail Trail. Revitalizing urban areas through strategic projects that stimulate economic growth, contribute to placemaking, and enhance connectivity by linking neighborhoods strengthens the community. \r\n\tEnergy Efficiency and Climate Resilient Infrastructure. Investments in \r\nenergy efficiency and climate resilient infrastructure will mitigate environmental effects, reduce operational costs, and ensure long-term sustainability and safety for all residents.\r\n\tProtecting Vulnerable Road Users through Vision Zero Investments. In \r\n2025, the City Council adopted O-25-98 and R-25-196. These laws improved protections for vulnerable road uses across the City. Continued targeted infrastructure investments through the Vision Zero program Along with the implementation of O-25-98 and R-25-196 promoted safer mobility.\r\n•\t2-12-9 of the City Code of Ordinances requires that the Mayor annually submit by \r\nResolution the City ICIP List for review and adoption by March 1st. Projects included in the ICIP List shall be ranked by urgency and need to comply with Section 6-4-1 NMSA 1978 (A) and (B) and State Executive Order 2012-023. \r\n•\tThe Resolution identifies “5 key areas” and not priorities. Though, being the \r\nOrdinance requires ranked priorities and that the key areas are presented in numerical order, the key areas as listed in order could establish the priority schedule.\r\n•\tThe ordinance provides that the Council may amend the list if such amendments \r\ncomply with the provisions of Section 6-4-1 NMSA 1978 (A) and (B) that the project is ranked by urgency and need for realization and State Executive Order 2012-023 and that they verify project needs and costs. The ICIP List approved by the City Council shall be submitted to the State of New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration.\r\n\r\nFiscal Impact: There is not a direct fiscal impact to Fund (110).
