Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Los Alamos County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Public Art Conservation and Maintenance
The August visit from Pacific Coast Conservation found the outdoor collection in good shape, but fixing Corky, the Ashley Pond pony painted black by a prior conservator, got pushed so the new senior center artwork could get its required UV coating — leaving a budget shortfall for the contract's final year.
Dino World Project Pending
A status update on the dinosaur-themed playground project. No action taken — the project is still moving through its current phase.
Snowmaking project delays at the ice rink
Pump skid deliveries, SCADA integration, fiber work, and tank disinfection are delaying the snowmaking system, though the project manager says the December 15 contractual obligation will be met — assuming snow conditions cooperate.
NRPA Gold Medal Finalist Recognition
Los Alamos's parks department was one of four national finalists for the NRPA Gold Medal Award in its population category. It didn't win, but the recognition is a big deal for local recreation services.
$1 Million Trails and Bike Park Grant Application
The county will apply for a $1 million state Outdoor Recreation Trails+ grant, tied to a North Mesa bike park, to improve trails and recreation.
Bradbury Science Museum hours change and remodel
The Bradbury switches to 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday starting June 16 while bathrooms get their first remodel since 1993. Porta potties will be on site during construction.
