Economic development fund financial report, Mr.

How Walt.

Good morning, Mr.

Chairman, members of the committee.

Uh for the month ending uh May of twenty twenty-six.

Uh we had revenues uh for the month of a hundred and fifty-one thousand uh as compared to May of twenty twenty-five, which was a hundred and forty-seven thousand almost a hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars.

Uh year to date for fiscal year twenty twenty-six.

Uh we have revenues of one million seven hundred and sixty-one thousand five hundred and sixty-three dollars and seventy-five cents.

Uh that is above budget uh by about two hundred thousand dollars.

Um, but it's still less than uh last year's uh fiscal year to date.

Uh last year we're at one point eight million.

So just about fifty it's actually about fifty thousand dollars less than what we were uh last year.

Uh however, interest rates obviously have have dipped, and so we're not receiving as much interest as we were uh last year this time of year.

In regards to expenditures um for the month ending in May once again.

Uh we have expenditures for the month of thirty thousand dollars.

Um most of that is administrative fees.

We have some contractual with CED, and then we have some contractual where uh we have uh done some reimbursement requests uh for our leader for retail, and so that has come out and is showing on the books now.

Um our expenditures in May of twenty twenty-five were around ninety thousand dollars.

Uh and total expenditures for FY 2026 is $496,755 and three cents.

Uh with that, I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Any questions from the committee?

Mr.

Hobart, I would ask um thank you for all that information.

I can't take that all in in my head.

Is there a way we could have those financials available to us?

Absolutely.

We will make copies for you that I can send these ones out after the meeting uh in a future meeting provided those in front of you, absolutely.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Ms.

Elliott.

Thank you.

Uh Justin, we appreciate that.

On the financial report update on economic development projects.

Tina.

Good morning.

And welcome.

We have a new board member.

Mr.

Fuentes, welcome.

Nice to have you here.

Um, this has probably been one of the busiest quarters that we've had so far.

Um, you know, in our industrial park, we still have our green energy project.

That one is still moving forward.

No update though on a construction timeline.

Um we're still waiting on them to finish their Texas location.

I did have a meeting with Project Byte, and you know, Project Byte is a uh manufacturer of conduit.

They were hoping to move forward this year in the industrial park, but currently um the price of plastics is up a hundred percent, which uh I think 56% of the world's plastics all come out of the Middle East.

So, and then I think all that's uh mostly produced here in the U.S.

gets exported.

So they're waiting for the price of plastics to come down as well as transportation because their transportation cost also went up a hundred percent.

So that has resulted in a little bit of a delay, but they are committed to being here, and we're gonna follow up with them quarterly for the updates.

Um last meeting, I know and I apologize to uh Miss Elliott because I didn't realize that she was coming on the board last meeting, but we were talking about PROs, so I'm gonna make it a point for the new people.

Um the state will send out what's called PROs, um potential recruitment opportunities, and they send them out to all the EDOs or the economic developers that work for cities, and these are potential projects looking at New Mexico.

Now 50% of those never materialize anywhere.

Um but we have had more in the last quarter than we've ever had.

Normally we get maybe one or two a month.

In the last quarter, I've had 13.

And so just to kind of give you a quick idea of what the projects were.

Um there was a hyperscale data center, a manufacturer of energy storage systems, a battery manufacturer, uh manufacturer that converts natural gas into battery grade graphite and hydrogen, um, another battery technology company, fusion-related testing and development facility, advanced manufacture of semiconductor fabrication, automated apparel manufacture, a housing component and modular system manufacturing facility, manufacture of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, advanced manufacture of satellite production, marine manufacturing operation and an advanced manufacturer requirement.

This one didn't tell us specifically what they were manufacturing, but um they needed 230,000 square feet of existing space with 20 megawatts of power.

So a large majority of these, if they're high power users or high water users, or we don't have the existing infrastructure, you know, we can apply, we just never hear back from them.

Um but that tells us that there's a lot going on across the nation as far as manufacturing goes.

Um as you all know, we went uh entered a contract with Site Location Partnership, which is a company that goes out and they recruit on our behalf.

Um they attended their second uh manufacturing conference in April called Modex.

It's a trade show focused on manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and material handling industries.

There were 1,057 exhibitors and approximately 50,400 attendees.

Um they identified and forwarded TID new leads to us, so I'm following up on those.

And some of the industries within there included electronic connectors, industrial control equipment, conveyor systems, material handling equipment, electrical wiring devices, automation machinery, electric motors, steel racks, metal bearings, and laser sensors.

So what we do is we follow up with them, they follow up with them, and then we put them on a regular mail list.

So uh consistent community.

Um also as part of our contract with uh SLP is they were gonna set up 12 broker meetings across the course of the year.

And I had eight of those meetings, and those were just between me and the brokers.

And I'll give you some information on where they're out of.

One of them was managing director of JLL out of Charlotte, North Carolina.

She specializes in site selection and incentives.

Though we were talking manufacturing, she was very excited to hear about our retail leader program.

And she told me, she said, I hear from cities all the time that complain that they're not getting the retailers, and then none of them do anything about it.

She said, so it's very refreshing to see your city doing something.

So she was really impressed with that.

Another one was executive managing director for Seville's in Washington, D.C.

He's a public policy specialist focused on site selection for advanced manufacturing projects.

He works very closely with defense related industries, and so we have some ongoing communication.

First vice president of CBRE in Albuquerque.

He emphasized the importance of having the spec building.

We've talked about this many times whether or not we should build a building out at the industrial park.

He did offer his services if we decide to do that because he consults on those.

Another one, senior director for BCI Global in Los Angeles.

He has major clients.

His clients are like Raytheon, Shell, Mitsubishi, Quaker Oats.

He said that our market was not big enough for his clients, but he wanted me to focus on some smaller markets in California, and did offer to meet with me if I go out to Los Angeles.

So that was a really good one.

Another one, manager of credits and incentives for a company called Ryan in Albuquerque.

She specializes in tax credits, incentives, and labor analytics.

And at the end of all these meetings, I followed up with all of them, giving them our labor reports, maps on the industrial park, maps on the airport, anything that they requested.

I had another one.

It was a broker in Albuquerque commercial broker.

She didn't give me much insight, but I sent her out the information as well.

And then the senior VP and principal for Colliers in Albuquerque, that one was really good.

He was the one that brought the one million square foot facility into Los Lunes.

And he also represents several major logistics developments, including the Rancho Del Ray, Del Rey in El Paso.

He was a really good contact for us.

He started telling me who to call for other areas, not just on manufacturing, so he's one I'm going to stay in contact with.

So those are great.

On our business incubator, we held a meeting with West, you know, their business incubation and micro lender, and we're talking to them about partnering on maybe a child care accelerator.

We found out that they offer a $6,000 stipend for training.

So if we have local child care providers that want to open their own, they can sign up through them, go through that, and get some money to help with it.

So right now I'm just waiting to find out if we can do an in-person training with them or if this is something that has to be done online.

But we do have a serious need in Clovis for more child care.

Sweetwater's going to be in town this week installing some panels for us.

And then they're going to make one more trip out.

Right now we're expected to be open in August.

I'm hoping this is August.

This August 2026.

So we're all very excited about it.

We do have some young interns working with Christina O'Bourney through the county, so they've been spending some time down there.

And I think everyone's going to be pleasantly surprised when we have our grand opening.

And then next year we'll include Ulta in that.

They just didn't get any reimbursement before the cutoff.

Some of the events in the last quarter that I attended.

Of course, we had the Rocino Celebration event.

I quarterly go out with Boots to Business through the Veterans Business Outreach Center on the base and facilitate a class out there.

We had the CCC breakfast national for National Community College Month.

I was a guest lecturer for ENMU's Sustainable Ag Class, Clovis Music Festival, Canon Spouses Club Auction, Pioneer Days Rodeo Breakfast.

I was called back to ENMU to uh participate with mock interviews.

So I did that, uh did a presentation for a Rotary Club of Clovis on workforce readiness.

Um went to the Clobus Civic Center 20 year celebration, the CCC graduation, leadership Clovis graduation, and then took our deputy secretary for economic development, Isaac Romero on a tour of Main Street and Canon Air Force Base along with Jim Lucero, who's our regional rep.

Attended the air show reception and Colonel McMaster's going away party at Canon.

And then of course we have regular meetings throughout the month.

We've had regular recording studio meetings.

Amy Fisher who's been overhauling the museum we meet with her regularly I did have a meeting with Excel Energy because there's someone that's working on an EV charging station and they wanted to know what kind of incentives we have available.

And for EV charging I think the only incentives that I could find are either through Excel or through the DOT but those usually only apply to counties or municipalities.

Meet every quarter with our CTE advisory board at Clovis High School.

I met with Livability Magazine we're going to be doing a full ad with them.

New Mexico Idea held a meeting for land commissioner candidates so that was very eye-opening to get on that call and be able to vet some of them.

We had a military housing meeting with Epcog that uh Raymond had organized and then regular meetings with San Juan College for the business incubator and then of course all of our chamber meetings.

Coming up we have on the 11th the Starbase ribbon cutting at Canon which I'm really excited about because I was on the civic leader tour with Colonel Bergen when we went to several states and visited these different um star basilities.

So that's really exciting to see it come to fruition on uh June 17th I have a New Mexico partnership board meeting and then June 18th we have change of command and then this is the end of our fiscal year so um CED runs from July 1st through June 30th.

So over this last year um we were awarded five grants totaling 1900 with 115000 of that being for business incubation and with that I will stand for questions.

Questions from the committee thank you for your information I do have a couple questions.

Okay as I'm still new and so is uh Mr.

Fuentes over here I'm gonna ask a few things um it's a huge list and I'm feeling I'm trying to learn from that whole fire hose kind of thing right what okay first of all what is boots to breakfast with Canon?

Boots to business boots to business uh yeah boots to business okay so that is a quarterly class put on it's under the SBA and it's the a Veterans Business Outreach Center and they travel around from base to base and these are for um enlisted personnel that are getting ready to either retire or or leave the military and it's a two-day basically uh two-day boot camp that gets them ready for starting their own business or starting their own business not just for entering the workforce no this is specifically for starting their own business I see okay excellent um ct advisory what does CT mean yeah so that is career technical education and that advisor out at Clovis High School is Adrian Lucero he holds a quarterly meeting and usually at those meetings it's myself um Liz Chavez from CCC and there's another woman that usually shows up from workforce development so we're just working on ideas that we can do with the kids to help get them ready for the workforce and one of the last meetings we had we talked about whether or not we could do even a mini um leadership clovis you know for the high school maybe we get some of these students together and we take them business to business and let them meet business owners we're very focused on trying to do things with the youth right now because if we can do that it's going to keep a lot of them from moving out of state once they finish school so we want to get them tied into the local businesses.

Okay.

What is a Starbase at Canon?

So Starbase is a program and they have it on I don't know how many they have throughout the country do you know how many they have Justin yeah so basically what they do is they take local fifth graders from within the community and they take them onto the base and you can either do five full days out at the Starbase Academy so it's basically well not STEAM but uh STEM STEM classes um and introduce them to the military and and different things that they do out there.

But they can either stretch it out or maybe they go over the summer you know for an hour a day for however long but it's it's basically to start helping our young people prepare for careers in STEM and in military.

Okay.

And if I could at some point, no rush, you've had five grants granted over the past year, correct?

Could you just to catch us up?

Email us that so we see what's been recently done, and then you know, just to be in the loop.

Yeah, and most of those are grants that have to do with us being an EDO.

Um it wouldn't be open to just anyone.

I'm happy to send it out.

I just thought I'd go over it with you.

Um right now we've been qualifying every year for a 40,000 dollar grant for getting recertified as an economic development organization through state economic development.

And then we've also been qualifying for um grants for our business incubator also through EDD.

Um and then we will pick up small grants throughout the year, you know, like 10,000 maybe at Wells Fargo or the McCune Foundation, I think was 15,000.

But I'm happy to email those out to you.

I appreciate that.

Thank you very much.

Chairman, uh thank you, uh committee committee member Elliott.

Uh any other questions from any other committee members.

Uh in regards to the PROs, I had a kind of was thinking uh when I was chairman of the New Mexico Partnership.

What we would do is we would try to get uh Melinda Allen, but before that it was uh the previous uh uh vice or president and CEO is to do some either presentations of how they operate and work the PROs, and perhaps you and I can get together since you serve on the board now, is maybe have a staffer from the New Mexico Partnership at one of our meetings to do a PowerPoint on how those operate and how they work and how they track it for each community.

Um I'll be happy to work with you on that, though we can get the committee up to date on what some of the concerns that they might have.

Yeah, that would be great.

And then something else to keep in mind.

Every fall we have an annual economic development conference in Albuquerque that is put on by New Mexico idea, but it is open to non-members.

So if you guys want to continue this and learn more about economic development, that is a really great uh place to start.

Yes, and that's the governor's conference on economic development.

And uh that that is any other questions.

And I I'll just add one thing.

Um I had invited Kathy in after the last meeting to come in and sit down and ask questions, and I open that to anybody on the board if you ever have questions about what we're doing or there's things that you feel like I'm I'm breezing through and you need more background on it, please reach out anytime.

And I have some ideas, but I I'll discuss some of those ideas at the for the good of the order uh for this committee since we do have a lot of new members that I would like to go over with them.

Data centers uh uh Tina, Texas right now is leading the nation on data centers.

Uh uh they're just popping up everywhere.

Uh do you know do you know how the state is doing on that uh besides inquiries within Eastern New Mexico?

I I don't know.

I know that we are getting a lot of inquiries.

Um I've had personal inquiries for Clovis.

I also know that um it is a controversial topic, and that one they're working on, I think up in Las Cruces they're getting a lot of pushback on that one.

Um Project Jupiter, I believe.

Yes.

Yeah, so there are a lot of people pushing back on the data centers right now.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you for that report, uh, Tina.

We appreciate you.

Thank you.

Uh, I'm sure you and I will be talking quite a bit.

The other uh agenda item for the good of the order.

I have just a couple of things.

Uh first of all, for the committee, I would like to ask you to and call you to the refer you to the City of Clovis webpage under document library uh under its government.

And click on that, and everything comes up in document library is to pull up the chapter 2.50 economic incentive board and the ordinance.

It's if not, I'll be happy to uh email that out uh to the board.

Uh it's real important that you do familiarize yourself with the ordinance.

Also, I would strongly recommend uh we've had discussions uh in regards to the and I noticed in the minutes that committee member Elliott and Claire talked about the economic development plan, the city of Clovis.

Uh tip strategies put this together.

Very good plan.

And basically that's the model that the City of Clovis is uh following in regards to the economic development plan.

I would recommend uh uh that you look at that.

I'd be happy to send you all the link to that plan and print it.

I myself have put together a folder like this or a binder with all kinds of information in regards to how the industrial revenue bonds work, uh the ordinances, EIB policies, uh and some of the projects that we've uh had discussed uh in the past and how we work.

The retail ordinance is also in there.

I also would be happy to get that over to you of how we funded Marshalls and Ross and the various uh uh retail stores on that.

So I'd be happy to uh please get you that information with the board like that, the committee.

Okay, I'll get that.

Mr.

Mr.

Chairman, members of the Kitty, I I think we have provided we when we get new members.

Is that the same that you sent me?

Exactly.

Yeah, but whenever we get new members, we would have to do that.

Everyone should have it.

Okay, everyone should have it.

Okay, good.

Uh so if you could familiarize yourself with that, I would appreciate that.

Anything else for the good of the order from the committee?

Yes.

Um Go ahead.

Mr.

Chairman, uh members of the EB committee, if I may, just to let you know with regard to the TIP strategies implementation, we meet on a on a quarterly basis with uh CED, who's doing a great job of in assisting the city of Clovis in implementing that plan.

Um this is it's a constant growing process that that we're working on.

I just wanted to uh give you a um an update.

I believe some time ago, uh you may have been briefed.

We did a site readiness plan with funding, working with Tina on funding that came through the economic development department for the state with a excuse me with a company called Global Location Strategies that I'll be working with Lindsay Germany with that company on the site readiness plan, providing them a plethora of information from everything, you know how many acres the site has, what the access is, what the uh potential uses could be, and working with all the power companies for the area, the gas companies and and water companies and so on to assess what could potential future uses for the Clovis Regional Airport could be.

As you know, uh Mr.

Holwalt and staff have been very busy building a new regional terminal there, and of course, the um airport master plan does have a provision for a future industrial park.

Um the deputy secretary uh Romero and Jim Lucero were here in town just a few weeks ago, and we were uh fortunate enough to take them on a tour of the horizon for behavioral health facility, um Clovis Community College, um the Lyceum Theater, but we also visited the airport and then had a meeting um with staff and leadership from Canon Air Force Base uh regarding industrial development out at the out at the regional airport and how it might support the existing mission at Canon Air Force Base and maybe bringing in new business and new industry.

So that's an ongoing um conversation.

So the site readiness plan is an important facet of preparing uh to bring industry in uh going forward.

So um we've uh I guess this process started probably earlier on this year.

Uh the report was due in May, and we received it uh last month.

Um so um it was a site overview, um, site selection simulation results, a preliminary conceptual plan, um, ready site selector uh scoring overview and gap analysis and investment readiness recommendations that they provided.

And um they advise that with regard to site size that the site offers significant runway adjacent acreage um with approximately 283 contiguous and developer acres, which is a notable advantage for an airport.

You see, we have unimpeded airspace here.

It's just a I mean, it's a huge opportunity for so many things that are going on.

I was in um Washington, D.C.

at the ADC conference for Mr.

Holwell um last month, and they uh they were talking about all the potential industry that's coming out now as a as a result of evolving um military activities throughout the globe uh and the changes in the way that we do war.

Um and there's a lot of a lot of potential industry that's come out as a result of that, and we can certainly uh take advantage of that if if we if we wish to.

So anyway, we have lots of acreage.

Um they recommended positioning this as a rare opportunity for larger users and aviation-related industries that value direct access and scale.

And then from a due diligence perspective, they recommended advancing due diligence studies uh to a phase one ESA, um, geotech, wetlands, cultural resources, etc., so that we can mitigate the risk to potential end users early in the site selection process.

Of course, we go through a lot of those things, like with the construction of the terminal, Mr.

Howell had to achieve all of those for that area, but you can we can expand that to the wider airport.

Um and then for utilities, you know, to look at excess capacities, which may be limited, um, to address those, continuing coordination with utility providers on existing capabilities and capacities, and evaluate um evaluating timing and costs associated with infrastructure improvements, which will be important for marketing the site.

So we um have the plan working with Lindsay.

We're gonna make a couple of little tweaks to it to uh so that we can use it and and then push it out nationwide as uh an available location for uh aviation related industries.

Um so we'll be working with Tina on on and her team on that and moving it forward uh for the city of Clovis.

Just wanted to give you uh an update on what we're doing there.

That's amazing.

I think uh is some good work going on there, and of course, the economic development plan is so vital and important to the city of Clovis.

Any other questions from the committee members?

Just a couple of things, a couple more things if you don't mind.

On the housing meeting that we had with Tina, uh Justin, uh thank you for your input at that meeting.

We I felt that we had the right players at that meeting.

Uh we have some folks from out of state.

Uh they've already purchased land.

They went back home to to the drawing board, and so they expect to be here to report uh to make a presentation at the July 13th Military Based Planning Commission meeting to the work session.

Uh they'll be presenting to the Military Based Planning Commission.

Uh we meet uh I currently serve on the Military Based Planning Commission appointed by the governor.

We meet July 13th on the work session.

July 14th is the meeting in here uh on that date with an agenda.

Uh so we meet on that.

And what they do, the Military Base Planning Commission is they support uh Canon Air Force Base on various policy issues.

Um they they support on that.

The Military and Veterans Legislative Interim Committee will be here June 26th at Clovis Community College.

Uh they'll meet at 11.

They have a late start.

Uh we have uh we've invited several leaders to be at that to present in the panel.

I believe the mayor you said was going to be out of town.

I believe the mayor you said was going to be out of town uh so uh mayor Mike Davidson from Portalis will be on that panel said Streebek and uh we'll be also inviting the county uh Brad Bender to um to serve on that earlier I was speaking to uh committee member Cordova uh moss construction as I don't know if you have heard uh Ebcog uh originally was brought in in those discussions moss construction is con currently can contracting or constructing a 600 acre solar field in debacle county a lot of the gentlemen that are working in that project are staying here in Clovis and uh and so we have worked with the Department of Work for Solutions for a um job there for them as well uh Ebcog has uh albeit the star based ribbon cutting as you all are aware uh Clovis Community College is involved with that and uh I'll be at that ribbon cutting tomorrow and I have been asked to um a company uh in a uh New Mexico delegation with the Lieutenant Governor to June 22nd through 25th to meet uh at the Pentagon with the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for family policy uh to discuss issues having to do with the military men and women and the airmen and one of the uh agenda items BAH uh on that and of course medical that's always important so uh we'll be uh we'll be doing that so thank you so much and Mr.

Mundra any questions yes yeah I was gonna add to that when we were when I was in the ADC conference the Association of Defense Communities Conference in DC and then when I was at the war college as well um the um the Secretary for the Air Force was there and they were talking about housing and um um they were very impressed with the model that we have here in Clovis it's yeah with the Sendera piece and what they're doing there so and then just to add to um and one more thing um if you know anybody that employs somebody who's in the Guard or reserve um in your line of businesses if you could please check and and let me know we are having a luncheon on June the twenty fourth at 1145 at the Civic Center.
