The working‑group updates matter because they shape the task force’s recommendations to county staff and identify community needs for accessibility, safety and inclusion. Reports covered training costs and targets, a draft ADA audit, a proposed safe‑parking model, transit service use, and possible cultural projects.

Tina (BIPOC Cultural Working Group) said the group is exploring a bystander intervention training through Resolve; “It does cost $1,500 for the 5 hour workshop session,” she told the task force, and the working group discussed whether to target boards and commissions first or expand into broader community sessions. The same group suggested a field trip to the Los Alamos Historical Museum to review exhibit representation and accessibility, and discussed outreach on the Peace Crane statue and a longer‑term idea for a Native American cultural center.

The Accessibility Working Group reported 48 survey responses to date and that roughly 15% of respondents provided phone contact for follow‑up. Kaoh Kyung said cards and an online form are in circulation at county offices and service providers. The group scheduled a hybrid meeting to review a 34‑page ADA audit and is arranging guided tours of the demonstration garden and an assessment at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church for input from people with disabilities. Task force members discussed producing tactile maps at the library for visually impaired users; one member reported a certified teacher of the visually impaired had volunteered to assist.

Rachel, who attended a recent transportation board meeting, said the county’s bicycle working group has a report the task force should review and noted an interactive pedestrian plan website that could capture inclusive feedback.

James (Economic Equity Working Group) described a safe‑parking model for people sleeping in vehicles: social services has identified “at least 10 individuals or families that could use such a program immediately,” he said. The program discussed would limit participants to people employed in the county or using social services; suggested supports included rotating host parking lots, portable toilets with combination locks, on‑vehicle carbon monoxide detectors, access to showers through community partners, a code of conduct and self‑policing among participants. James said the group prefers a low‑profile pilot to demonstrate feasibility before pursuing zoning or ordinance changes.

On utilities and housing, James said many Los Alamos homes lack 200‑amp electric service needed for full electrification; council discussion mentioned on‑bill financing as a potential funding pathway and referenced a Santa Fe Housing Trust program that assists households up to 140% of area median income with utility upgrades.

Other items reported: the county’s Saturday door‑to‑door transportation service is operating (9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.) and has seen demand; Councilor Reitie reported the assessor’s data shows about a 10% loss in commercial space over a six‑year period; and a Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) presentation, run by the administrative office of the courts, was noted as relevant to justice‑system diversion work.

Task force chairs asked members to supply draft report templates and suggested smaller, Wednesday‑afternoon trainings as a pilot before funding larger workshops. Several members volunteered to coordinate museum visits and to collect further data for final working‑group reports. No formal votes were taken on the working‑group initiatives during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Los Alamos County - Inclusivity Task Force on 2025-08-20 12:15 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Working groups reported plans for bystander and cultural trainings, an accessibility audit and outreach, a proposed safe‑parking pilot for unhoused residents, and transportation and utility planning tied to accessibility and economic equity.","taxTitle","Los Alamos, New Mexico","taxId",51137,"location","New Mexico","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6585527,"Los Alamos outlines cooperation with Pueblo of San Ildefonso on broadband, trails and feral cattle",1890,128000,2018000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5610224-13c2e74880a3b9fe1a75d0ab2963cea8&start=128&end=2018","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5610224-13c2e74880a3b9fe1a75d0ab2963cea8/thumbnail_128000.jpg","/articles/6585527/New-Mexico/Los-Alamos-outlines-cooperation-with-Pueblo-of-San-Ildefonso-on-broadband-trails-and-feral-cattle","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6585527-7e1bb9072e6a63ec7657192da75e4886/orig.mp4?Expires=1770560376&Signature=LiXAMMzexO61e5AlRabq-ndhKwmYMJmcxHnSqMsr2~0kGBUpbOIjJDbWMYyKSAuyWIOqUAdSOdgmnqOnIre-o208ea6vhf-54NQcOZF6TIMM4-QyGj9t67gqjlWVw8cg7YnmwHIS-FfG8oHPaxCfMZni1TPx~LVAv5C-eoN0hw-bMoc6LHpV5BqYyh1ybbRsGwFmFTniCvPVr1f4XUDWLif-UKHeqRHaNubyl73K0FHKhsixm4BvduMUJtXMnA4PxYik2CtFOlrU8x2ayflS56Jo5yqiX~gQt2J4z9edFJRwyFjol3fJ2XobTXGyjztv8wxb6EvT3~YOdsq3N~EmIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Danielle Duran, Los Alamos County intergovernmental affairs manager, told the Inclusivity Task Force that the county and the Pueblo of San Ildefonso have maintained regular meetings and “a really good relationship” as they work on broadband, trail stewardship, feral cattle and other cross‑border issues.

The discussion matters because projects affecting roads, trails and communications cross jurisdictional lines and affect Pueblo members’ daily access, public safety and cultural sites. Duran described recent and planned cooperative steps intended to reduce outages, protect cultural resources and improve safety.

Duran said County Manager Anne Laurent and John Gonzalez, administrator for the Pueblo of San Ildefonso, now meet monthly. On broadband, the county and San Ildefonso Services (SIS) coordinated after an NTIA grant delayed implementation; Los Alamos County provided a $2,000,000 match to a later state grant application to expand fiber and service into Pueblo homes. “That not only serves Los Alamos, but it makes sure that the Pueblo has customers for the broadband for the fiber they’re putting in,” Duran said.

On public safety and traffic, Duran said the county police department is buying two radar speed signs to collect speed and volume data on New Mexico 502 (and on State Road 30) to document speeding and build a case for traffic calming with New Mexico Department of Transportation or other authorities. The signs “don’t collect your information on your license plate,” she said; they log speeds and counts to produce evidence for requests to the state.

Feral cattle were raised as an ongoing issue: Duran said multiple herds now move across county, lab and Pueblo property. The county contracts a “wrangler” to manage cattle on county and Pueblo lands; Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Defense Department handle cattle on lab property. Duran described property damage and safety risks from the animals and said Parks personnel coordinate with Pueblo staff.

Trail misuse and protection of cultural resources were a repeated concern. Duran described earlier incidents of graffiti and of informal trails that can damage cultural sites. She said the county has offered policies and surplus equipment access to the Pueblo and suggested joint public education — library forums, school programming, signage and targeted trail fencing — so visitors understand why staying on marked trails matters. “The Pueblo might like a chance to buy those things back” when families find artifacts at estate sales, Duran said, and suggested outreach to local estate‑sale companies.

Other items Duran listed as topics of ongoing conversation were geothermal project coordination with the Pueblo, hunting and trespass issues in Pueblo Canyon, and maintaining continuity in tribal‑county relations after leadership changes in both governments. She said prior council‑to‑council meetings had been substantive and that future meetings could cover more sensitive topics as trust grows.

Task force members asked several follow‑ups. James (Task Force member) noted local interest in bike lanes on New Mexico 4 and said he had collected “about a 100 signatures” on a petition supporting a bike lane; he also suggested the 2027 repaving project could be an opportunity to add bike infrastructure. Duran said the county must coordinate with the state and Santa Fe County on highway projects.

No formal county policy decisions or votes on the items Duran described were taken at the meeting; the presentation concluded with an offer to arrange direct Pueblo presentations to the task force on trail cultural issues and with invitations for task force help on public education plans.

Looking ahead, Duran said she expects continued technical coordination on broadband and safety data collection and hopes for another council‑to‑council meeting in the coming year to deepen the partnership.","At an Inclusivity Task Force meeting, Danielle Duran summarized ongoing collaboration between Los Alamos County and the Pueblo of San Ildefonso on broadband expansion, trail stewardship and feral cattle management, and identified next steps including data collection and public education.","actionData","errors"]
