Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Heading for International SpotlightABQ’s SXSW presence more strategic, all-inclusive and visible this year

The internationally acclaimed SXSW Music, Film and Interactive Festival that attracts more than 50,000 registrants annually not only has the potential to connect startups with investors and other resources that can help them succeed, but it also provides Albuquerque’s fast evolving entrepreneurial scene with international exposure that mon-ey can’t buy.

SXSW is viewed as the world’s leading conference in fostering cre-ative and professional growth because of the unique convergence of original music, independent films and emerging technologies, accord-ing to <SXSW.com>. The event is a launching pad for creatives and

their products, providing conference panel discussions, trade shows and global networking opportunities.

Representatives from accelerators (ABQid), venture capital firms (Village Capital), resources (New Mexico Tech Council), the Living Cities Integration Initiative and the City of Albuquerque (Mayor Richard J. Berry), in addition to 15 startups have been scheduled to attend the world-class innovative conference from March 11 thru March 15, 2016 in Austin, TX. The conference is a full-on, scaled down version of Albuquerque’s entrepreneurial ecosystem that will be trans-planted in Austin.

Eric Renz-Whitmore, Albuquerque’s community organizer for SXSW said: “We’re getting in-creasing recognition as an up-and-coming city as a city that’s doing interesting things around our entrepreneurial scene. This is an opportunity to cement that or at least to get on more people’s radar.”

Albuquerque’s innovative and entrepreneurial viability is illustrated through our strong showing at this year’s SXSW,” Mayor Richard J. Berry said. “We have created an environment in our city that allows innovative ideas to gain traction, grow and prosper. Albuquerque has a great deal to offer and I am pleased that we have this interna-tional platform to share our uniqueness.”

Mayor Richard J. Berry will be helping to catapult Albu-querque into the national spotlight in Austin. SXSW orga-nizers have asked him to lead a panel on March 12 about growing the entrepreneurial ecosystems of emerging cities.

Environmental Monitoring Report Results: Bosque Multi-Use Accessible Path

Post Construction Environmental Monitoring Report: No Detectable Changes to Environment

SWCA Environmental Consultants conducted follow-up studies on last year’s Bosque Multi-Use Accessible Path Construction from Central Avenue to I-40 Freeway.

The study concluded that:

“In summary, trail construction in 2015 had no detectable effects on trail side soils, vegetation or birds.”[Executive Summary]

SWCA also evaluated all proposed alternatives for the proposed path extension between I-40 Freeway and Campbell Road NW. The report considered alternative alignments and identified the least potential for environmental impacts while providing the most positive outcome for that portion of the Rio Grande Valley State Park Bosque:

“Based on the analysis of potential alternatives proposed by the City, SWCA recommends all variations of Alternative 2 (2A, 2B, 2C, or 2D) as the environmentally preferred alternative(s) because it minimizes impact to wildlife, vegetation (trees) and geomorphology by avoiding the established cottonwood riparian forest (bosque) in the northwestern part of the project area.” [Page 40]

In November and December 2015, the City conducted three public hikes with a total of 80 people in attendance. Alignment options and the project schedule were published on the City’s website December 21, 2015. On January 7, 2016 the city held a public meeting to present the alignment options. The meeting was advertised for 19 days and was a success with nearly 200 people in attendance. The City also received 157 comments from November to the end of January, all of which are posted on the city’s website. This month, the City will determine the best alignment option based on the SWCA study and public input.

ABQ RIDE Submitted by Rick De Reyes

On February 9, 2016 while on a trip to Washington, D.C., Mayor Richard J. Berry received the news that the Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) had received recommendation for a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Small Starts Capital Grant to construct ART from Co-ors Boulevard to Louisiana Boulevard along the Central Avenue Corridor. When approved through the congressional budget process the grant, along with money set aside by the City, gives the project about $119 million for construction and beautification with anticipated completion in the fall of 2017.

“Over the past three years, Albuquerque has undergone a very intentional process to study and garner feedback from the community on this important project,” said Mayor Richard J. Berry. “I am extremely pleased that President Barack Obama has recognized this effort and the importance of this project by including Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) in his budget. I believe ART will set the standard for the nation for the most effective Bus Rapid Transit system.”

Mayor Richard J. Berry said “ART will break ground in the next few months and be completed in the fall of 2017”. He also introduced Bradbury Stamm as the contractor for the ART project.

“Bradbury Stamm has been building New Mexico since 1923,” said Bradbury Stamm’s CEO, Cynthia Schultz. “Our company is put-ting all our resources behind this project to make this a life changing project for Albuquerque and future generations. We are proud that as a true local contractor, the construction of this project will be an economic driver for the community which will lead to funds being reinvested back into the community.”

Construction updates will be available on the ART website <BRTABQ.com> and via a 24 hour hotline at 505-764-6180. An APP is being developed and will be available when construction begins. The APP will give people immediate updates on construction, detours, and discounts for businesses along the Central Avenue corridor, bus schedules and special ART events.

Mayor Richard J. Berry also announced several initiatives to support businesses during the construction period:

• The formation of the Small Business Resource Collaborative, made up of representatives from WESST, ACCION, SCORE, the Loan Fund and SBDC to provide business and marketing consulting and low interest loans to businesses in the corridor. More information by going to the website at <www.sbrcabq.com>.

• Special Route 66 events will be held twice monthly to encourage people to shop and support the businesses in the construction cor-ridor;

• ART Outreach Liaisons will be in the corridor daily to update businesses and provide helpful information to disseminate to custom-ers, vendors and employees;

• A new hotline is being made available that will be live and answered 24/7 at 505-398-4ART.

To see the latest information about Albuquerque Rapid Transit, you can go to the ART website at <www.brtabq.com>. A five minute video that describes the ART project is also available on the website.

“We are looking forward to what ART will make possible for the City, “Mayor Richard J. Berry said. “My team is doing everything pos-sible to listen to public input and to minimize the impacts of construction.”

APD Crime Prevention Submitted by Steve Sink

Hundreds of scam phone calls are being made to Albuquerque residents every day and it appears these calls continue to be on the increase. The callers claim to represent a variety of inter-ests, ranging from important governmental services, court pro-ceedings, promises of riches and family members in trouble. They attempt to catch us off guard and provoke worry, hesita-tion and action. The threat of jail, financial destruction and the demise of a family member tend to get our attention. The scam-mer’s have a fundamental goal – separate you from your money. They disguise this attempt in a variety of ways. However, there can be a very easy way to avoid becoming a scam victim in today’s world. If someone initiates a call to you and they want to give you a prize or demand money for any reason that is the beginning of a scam. We can no longer trust an incoming call as legitimate. Review the following information and learn to control the telephone and reduce the possibility of becoming a scam victim.

Recently Reported Telephone Scams

• IRS/U.S. Treasury – The caller claims you are delinquent in your taxes and must pay by a prepaid cash card, credit card or through Western Union immediately to avoid arrest, deportation, loss of license, etc.

o The IRS and/or the U.S. Treasury will never call you

directly if problems exist with your taxes. They will never use scare tactics or threatening language. If you feel like looking into the matter, call your tax preparer or contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 for accurate information.

• Failure to Appear for Jury Duty – The caller demands you pay a court issued fee to settle a warrant for your arrest. They demand you purchase a prepaid cash card for restitu-tion or you will be arrested.

o Jury duty obligations will always be sent to you. If

you want to officially check your status contact Metro Court at 505-841-8151 or District Court at 505-841-8400.

• Hi, Grandma/Grandpa, I’m in Trouble – Caller claims to be a grandson or granddaughter who have been arrested or de-tained. The location refers to Mexico, Canada or states a long distance away. Callers will pose as the family member or as an official representative of the reported jurisdiction. They will ask you not to contact the child’s parents. The reason for arrest varies, but the scam attempt is the same – money must be sent immediately to post bail and/or to pay court costs.

o Verify the jurisdiction and initiate a call to them. Al-ways contact parents to confirm the child’s location. Never offer names of grandchild rather ask for their name and a fact that only they would know.

Related Issues

- Never send money or provide credit card information based on a telephone call. Always verify first.

- If a caller claims you have won a prize but you must pay a fee discontinue the call immediately.

- If you don’t recognize a telephone number - don’t answer the phone. If a message is left from an unknown number do not return the call.

- If you get a scam call, report it to the NM Attorney Gen-

eral’s Office at 1-800-678-1508.

- If you think you have been a victim of a scam call the fol-lowing numbers:

o Albuquerque Police Department Telephone Report Unit at 505-768-2030 to file a police report.

o Contact your bank or credit card company if these accounts are involved.

o Contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-800-269- 0271.

o Contact one of the Credit Reporting Agency’s to place a Fraud Alert on you.

Equifax at 1-800-525-6285.

Experian at 1-800-397-3742.

Trans Union at 1-800-6807289.

These are currently the most common telephone scam attempts. There will undoubtedly be different ones in the future. Stay alert and remember if you receive a call from an unknown num-ber and they want money immediately for any reason – this is the start to a scam. Control your phone and don’t be a victim.

Building Resilience with Diverse Communities (BRDC)

This spring as part of Mayor Richard J. Berry’s efforts to in-crease disaster resilience for all Albuquerque citizens, the Albu-querque Office of Emergency Management will begin working in partnership with U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Center for Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and other City Departments to initiate a process of engagement in emergency management activities. The Building Resilience with Diverse Communities (BRDC) process is an initiative de-signed to examine the role of faith based and community orga-nizations in emergency preparedness and response. The BRDC process will be closely aligned to Mayor Richard J. Berry’s goals to protect the city’s citizens and strengthen emer-gency response against hazards of any kind. The overall goal of the initiative is to build upon existing processes and partner-ships, with hopes that Albuquerque can become an example of urban resilience across the country. The DHS Center created the BRDC process to help jurisdic-tions improve emergency capabilities by engaging faith based and community groups. The pilot initiative of the BRDC pro-cess began in 2011 in Florida’s Miami-Dade County and dem-onstrated that communities can adapt the model to effectively integrate faith based and community groups into emergency management plans and processes.

BRDC works to improve community resilience by engaging the “whole community” through its seven stages process which in-clude: engagement, assessment, self-guided and group training, technical assistance, participation in scenarios/exercises, affilia-tion and integration. Emergency managers identify underserved and unengaged faith based and community groups and assess their capacity to participate in emergency preparedness and re-sponse activities. Based on that assessment, emergency manag-ers can use the BRDC process to build partnerships with these groups, provide training to strengthen their skills and formally integrate them into emergency management plans and exercis-es.

The Albuquerque Office of Emergency Management antici-pates collaborating with the neighborhood associations, faith-based and community-based organizations on this process over the next six to nine months.

WHY DOESN’T THE CITY DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION?

We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood.

--- Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States

In a neighborhood, as in life, a clean bandage is much, much better than a raw or festering wound.

--- Edward Koch, Mayor of New York City

It has been my privilege to work with the Office of Neighborhood Coordination for several years now. It is long enough to begin to discern temporal patterns in the questions that flow from Neighborhood Associations to the Office of Neighborhood Coordination and to the Legal Department. About every two years, we get a rash of questions or requests concerning the internal operations of a few Neighborhood Associations. In this article, I will answer some the most common questions we get.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AND NEIGHBORHOOD

ASSOCIATIONS

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Why won’t the City make my Neighborhood Association do _____________?; or, I want the City to tell my Neighborhood Association they have to do ___________. How soon can you do this?

ANSWER: The City of Albuquerque does not create or regulate Neighborhood Associations. The City only recognizes or refuses to recognize pre-existing private Neighborhood Associations based on the criteria set forth in the Neighborhood Recognition Ordinance, § 14-8-2-1, et seq.. A ‘recognized’ Neighborhood Association remains a private organization, and the City has no authority to micro-manage your organization. Even if your organization does something or fails to do something that violates the City’s recognition criteria, the City’s only remedy is to remove the organization from our list of recognized Neighborhood Associations. The City cannot sue the Neighborhood Association to make it comply. The City cannot get an injunction and keep you from meeting as a Neighborhood Association. The City can only inform you that your Neighborhood Association is no longer recognized under the Neighborhood Recognition Ordinance.

THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AND LEGAL ADVICE TO NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Can my Neighborhood Association legally do _____________?; or My Neighborhood Association is doing ___________. Is that legal? Can you make them stop?

ANSWER: The City does not provide legal advice to Neighborhood Associations, gun clubs, book clubs, auto associations or any other private organization. As to how to run your organization, you must turn to your own bylaws, your own parliamentarian, or your own legal counsel for advice. However, the City is happy to guide you as to the legal requirements for ‘recognition’ as set forth in our ordinance.

THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER LAWS OR AUTHORITIES

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Does my Neighborhood Association have to follow the Open Meetings Act?; or, My Neighborhood Association is not following Robert’s Rules of Order. Isn’t that illegal? Can you cite them or arrest them?

ANSWER: Neighborhood Associations do not need to follow the state Open Meetings Act, N.M.S.A. 1978, §§ 10-15-1 et seq., in order to be ‘recognized’ by the City of Albuquerque. In fact, the Open Meetings Act does not apply to private organizations, even if public officials are attending the meeting. You do not need to follow Robert’s Rules of Order, 10th ed. (Cambridge, Mass.: Perseus Publishing, 2000), in order to be ‘recognized’ by the City of Albuquerque as a Neighborhood Association. However, following the state Open Meetings Act or using Robert’s Rules of Order does not preclude a Neighborhood Association from being ‘recognized’ by the City of Albuquerque. The City’s recognition criteria simply do not speak to these issues. If your organization’s bylaws state that your particular Neighborhood Association will follow Robert’s Rules of Order, but the officer’s of your organization refuse to do so, there is nothing the City of Albuquerque can do about it.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: The Treasurer of my Neighborhood Association refuses to show us the accounting books. We fear she may have embezzled our money. What does the City intend to do about that? or The President of my Neighborhood Association is showing favoritism to particular members and he constantly lies at meetings. Can the City please investigate and bring appropriate impeachment proceedings?

ANSWER: If you have reason to believe a crime has been committed, such as theft or embezzlement, do not waste time calling the Office of Neighborhood Coordination or the City Legal Department but call the Albuquerque Police Department! If you have reason to believe an officer of your Neighborhood Association is engaged in misconduct short of a crime, do not call the City at all. Your bylaws or the advice of a private attorney should be able to guide you as to what remedies you have or what actions you can take regarding misconduct of an officer of your private organization.
