Las Cruces Council Work Session - April 13, 2026

The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 110 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 110 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.

Harris: the minutes negate a sentence the recording does not (“no”)

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 “no” where the recording has no negation. Around: “i think it is pretty much a no brainer at this point in”.

What the minutes say

Councilor Harris said I think it is pretty much a no brainer at this point in history that it does not make sense to extend natural gas infrastructure beyond what we already got. We have a pretty vast system. It works pretty well. The people who maintain it do an excellent job at maintaining it. We have to fight outside people who damage it, which is another item I will bring up later. They have done an excellent job keeping everybody safe in those regards. The technological tide has turned, and it just doesn’t

well as the city clerk's office. If you would like to see the detail of these, I will be talking very specifically about general fund throughout the presentation, but there are a couple things that I do want to point out in this slide. The first is that our special revenue funds and debt service do show a decrease year-over-year. Those funds are typically brought in throughout the year as the agency and council approves those budgets. So, you will see that increase throughout the year. Also, enterprise funds has

What the recording says

on this first slide just wanted to give you all a little bit of information. You know for over 90 years the city of Los Cruus has provided natural gas to its customers.
