ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. By Albuquerque City Council standards, legislation greenlighting the city’s Poole property purchase enjoyed a smooth passage during last week’s meeting.
Councilors asked a few questions about funding for the new open space acquisition and about other potential open space prospects, but much of the Poole property discussion was akin to a victory lap; councilors and city staffers thanked and congratulated one another for having resolved a long-standing community debate over the West Side parcel’s future. The city’s purchase means the 23 acres overlooking the Rio Grande oxbow will be preserved instead of developed with 69 new homes.

Candidates looking to run a publicly financed mayoral campaign can begin testing the waters this week – the first in a series of mile markers during a 2021 election cycle that will determine who occupies the mayor’s office and five city council seats starting in January. Election Day is Nov. 2.
Current Mayor Tim Keller already has said he plans to seek a second term and he confirmed Monday that he intends to seek public financing, though he has not made the formal declaration. That will likely happen later this month, he said.

As of Monday afternoon, no mayoral candidate had formally declared their intent to seek public financing with City Clerk Ethan Watson. They technically have until mid-June to do so.
