During its Dec. 17 meeting, the Alamosa City Council voted to enter an executive session to discuss acquisition of real property for a building to house police support services.
Councilor Jan Vigil moved the motion to convene the executive session pursuant to CRS 24-6-402(4)(a) (the statute was cited in the motion). The motion was seconded and the council voted to proceed. Councilor Martinez announced a recusal and abstained, saying she is related to a member of the board of one of the buildings being considered.
The council recorded that the motion carried unanimously with Councilor Martinez abstaining from the executive session vote. Mayor stated that no further business would be discussed after returning from the executive session.
Why it matters: The executive session concerns a potential property acquisition for police support services, which could affect capital spending and the location of city police operations. The recorded recusal indicates an identified conflict of interest by one council member.
What’s next: The council entered executive session immediately following the vote; no additional public action was recorded in the transcript about the parcels or terms discussed during the closed session.
