AGENDA:
•Land acknowledgement, overview of the State Land Office, and introduction of special guests
•Presentation of Proposed Exchange: James White, Commercial Resources Division
•Public Comment and Q&A moderated by Assistant Commissioner Angie Poss
The purpose of the meeting is to receive public comment regarding a proposed disposition of the following state trust lands in a land exchange:
Section 32, Township 14 North, Range 1 East, N.M.P.M. – 640 acres
Section 16, Township 14 North, Range 1 West, N.M.P.M. – 640 acres
Section 16, Township 14 North, Range 2 West, N.M.P.M. – 640 acres
These three separate tracts of state trust lands are located in Sandoval County, northwest of the City of Rio Rancho, near the boundaries of the Pueblo of Santa Ana reservation, and they are currently leased to the Pueblo of Santa Ana for livestock grazing. Section 32 is located west of the Del Norte Gun Club, and the two other sections are located roughly 4.4 miles and 14.5 miles further northwest. At the request of the Pueblo of Santa Ana and because of the cultural and historical connection with the Pueblo of Santa Ana, the State Land Office has proposed a land exchange in which it would convey these state trust lands to the Pueblo of Santa Ana in exchange for lands of equal or greater value having the potential for commercial development and thereby providing greater income potential to the trust land beneficiary, which is New Mexico public schools.
Conveyance of these state trust lands is not expected to change the nature of the use of the state trust lands or surrounding lands. If the SLO makes a final decision to proceed with an exchange, the Commissioner of Public Lands would execute an exchange agreement providing for a conveyance of the state trust lands subject to a reservation to the State of New Mexico of all minerals and geothermal resources in, under or upon the Land. The SLO may offer a negative easement or surface non-disturbance agreement with regard to the reserved minerals and geothermal resources.
