The City Council of Roswell, NM, convened on April 10, 2025, to discuss several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community support and services. A significant highlight of the meeting was the recognition of Roswell Transit for its outstanding service to veterans. In 2024, the transit system provided over 8,000 free trips to veterans, thanks to funding from the Chaves County Health Council and Together with Veterans. This commitment to serving the community, particularly during the post-COVID recovery period, earned Roswell Transit the title of Section 5311 Transit System of the Year.

During the meeting, officials praised the efforts of the transit team, including Transit Manager Chris Moore and Operations Supervisor Ray Mendoza, for their dedication and responsiveness. The team was commended for their ability to adapt and meet the needs of the community, ensuring that residents, including school children and veterans, have reliable transportation options.

Additionally, the council discussed plans to organize community events that would connect local residents with caseworkers and provide opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. These initiatives aim to alleviate stress and foster community engagement.

The meeting concluded with a strong emphasis on the importance of community service and collaboration among local organizations to support residents in need. The council's ongoing commitment to enhancing public services and fostering community well-being remains a priority as they move forward with these initiatives.
