Mayor Alan Webber and three city councilors are sponsoring a significant change to a proposed committee that would address the controversial removal of a monument honoring a historical figure and other tensions stemming from the October toppling of the Plaza obelisk.
In a news release issued Tuesday night, Webber and City Councilors Roman âTigerâ Abeyta, Carol Romero-Wirth and Chris Rivera said they will propose a substitute resolution to create a Culture, History, Arts, Reconciliation and Truth Committee that would eliminate an appointed board and replace it with a format based on a template used in Albuquerque. That approach includes one-on-one interviews with residents, questionnaires and three roundtable meetings open to the public.
