Quail Ranch annexation approved by city council
The Rio Rancho city council voted 5-0 to annex Quail Ranch a 12 000 acre 30 year development despite warnings from Bernalillo County and Albuquerque that services and federal funds could be withheld. The meeting noted potential legal steps and the need to record the ordinance with both counties. The same session approved a water rights settlement with the state engineer office and a water conservation ordinance with penalties for daytime watering.
