Las Cruces Council Work Session - May 11, 2026

The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 37 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 37 were found in the recording.

Summarised — gaps worth reading. The comparison is mechanical and has no opinion about why two documents differ. A gap can be honest summarising; a mismatch can be the caption software mishearing. Both texts are shown so you can decide, and the correction form at the bottom is there for when the machine is wrong.

What the recording says

team. Good afternoon, mayor and council. Today I'll be giving a brief overview of our active transportation team, our coordination efforts, and then we'll as well be going over Vision Zero. Our active transportation team within public works consists of myself, Vanessa Morales Romero. I'm currently the interim engineering and surveying manager. Oscar Cadetto is our main point of contact. So, anything active transportation goes to him, and he routes it all to the rest of us. He's an engineer with public works. And then we also have Jeremy Varela

Brent Crowther: the minutes negate a sentence the recording does not (“doesn't”)

Says something different

Both records carry the same sentence, but they disagree on a number or on whether it was negative. The same sentence appears in both records, but the minutes contain “doesn't” where the recording has no negation. Around: “the development to the safety action plan doesn't bring all stakeholders together”.

What the minutes say

Brent Crowther said absolutely. Part of the development to the Safety Action Plan doesn’t bring all stakeholders together. We have been working on a project in a different state and law enforcement has been our committee and the corridors that are identified within the Safety Action Plan have been referred to law enforcement then they can help prioritize enforcement on those corridors where there are seeing a higher frequency of crashes.

Mattiace: a negation on the recording is missing from the minutes (“don't”)

Says something different

Both records carry the same sentence, but they disagree on a number or on whether it was negative. The same sentence appears in both records, but the recording contains “don't” where the minutes have nothing — which reverses its sense. Around: “i think he has been stopped i think 17 times in dona ana”.

What the minutes say

Councilor Mattiace asked in another collaboration effort, I believe it was slide 11, maybe if you could bring it back to 11? The one where it showed the alcohol where I think it was 30 something percent alcohol and then 22% alcohol and 37% drugs. Will there be a collaborative effort and can the council help like with our judges and sentencing and making sure for some reason I have a friend and I think he has been stopped I think 17 times in Dona Ana County, can that be addressed as well?

relation to the goal that's established within the safety action plan. I mentioned that first part that leadership commitment.
