After the Public Comments in videos 01 – 04 above, the city councilors and City Manager gave their comments. As usual, the District 4 Councilor sobs and rambles incoherently, saying this increase in crime in her district during her tenure is not her fault.

On April 3, 2023 we had gone before the Las Cruces City council asking for help in removing illegal encampments in the city park outside our bedroom window. Las Cruces Police officers cleared the camps 9 days later and that same day Parks & Recreation crews removed the shelters that had attracted the illegal encampments. On April 17, 2023 we again went before the city council to express our thanks to those involved in clearing up this mess. One person that we had expected to help ensure our safety and peace of mind was the City Councilor for this area, Johana Bencomo, (District 4). She sided with the illegal, homeless campers and opposed us, her constituents, that just wanted our peace of mind back. This video is our talk before the city council with photos and videos added to visualize what we were talking about.

On April 17, 2023, after we had spoke to the Las Cruces City Council, thanking the LCPD and Parks & Recreation for solving the illegal encampment situation at Burn Lake City Park, District 4 City Councilor, Johana Bencomo spoke and blasted us and the city workers for doing what they had done. Ms. Bencomo had every opportunity to help with this situation and refused. As she talks, I added text replies along with photos to back up my position.

This 8 1/2 minute video highlights the one hour siege that Las Cruces Parks and Recreation workers had to endure while they were doing their jobs at Burn Lake Park on April 12, 2023. These city workers were removing abandoned shelters at Burn Lake Park when this Chevy Trail Blazer entered the work area and disrupted the city workers trying to do their jobs. In the video, I will refer to the driver as “The Chevy Guy”. This area of the park is off-limits to unauthorized vehicles.
