Los Alamos County Council Sets Weeklong Sessions Including White Rock Meeting

On Jan. 9 the county released notice of Los Alamos County Council regular and work sessions planned for the week of Jan. 13, 2026. The release highlighted that the Jan. 14 meeting will be held in person at White Rock Fire Station No. 3 and said officials will provide a Zoom option for remote participation. Residents seeking the full agenda were directed to lacnm.com/agenda, and the release noted that public input can be submitted through the county eComments tool.

The agenda calls for several items with direct community implications. Executive Director Pat Vanderpool will present the 2025 Regional Development Corporation annual report, a briefing that will interest residents tracking local economic development, business retention and attraction efforts, and regional partnerships. The council will also receive an introduction and presentation of the North Mesa Recreation Master Plan, a planning document likely to shape future investments in parks, trails, recreation facilities and open space management on the North Mesa.

Discussion of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Area Commission is listed among agenda topics. Outcomes of that conversation could affect redevelopment priorities, land use incentives and community revitalization strategies in designated MRA zones. Another scheduled item relates to the county Strategic Leadership Plan, where council members will review performance indicators connected to launching a 2026 community dashboard. That dashboard is intended to make performance data more accessible to the public, a move toward greater transparency and data-driven local governance.

For local residents the meetings offer multiple channels to engage. In-person attendance at the White Rock venue provides direct access to the Jan. 14 session, while the Zoom option and eComments tool enable remote participation and written input. The county release indicated a County Manager’s office phone number for questions and directed readers to the online agenda for detailed meeting materials and timing.

The council sessions come at a time when choices about recreation planning, redevelopment policy and how government reports performance will influence everyday life in Los Alamos County. Participation through the available in-person and virtual options will give residents the opportunity to weigh in as elected officials consider plans and reports that guide local services, economic direction and community amenities.
