Pueblo of Sandia
Dear Residents,
The Pueblo of Sandia is seeking federal legislation that would transfer approximately 10,000 acres within the T’uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area along the western face of the Sandia Mountains into trust as part of the Pueblo of Sandia Indian Reservation, “for the benefit of the Tribe." This area extends from south of the Tram north almost to Placitas, and from the current eastern boundary of the Pueblo all the way up to the Crest. Because this proposal could affect issues important to our community – including public access, outdoor recreation, wildfire management, and property values in the area – the SHHA Board is gathering input from residents before discussing whether to support, oppose, or take no official position on the issue.
Please take a few minutes to read the background information and complete the feedback form. Your comments will help the Board’s discussion at future board meetings.
Many thanks to you.

August GRIT: Sandia Pueblo Proposal, PNM Appeal, and More
Sandia Pueblo is seeking federal legislation to transfer approximately 10,000 acres within the T’uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area into federal trust. Because the proposal affects land bordering Sandia Heights, we’ve created a webpage with background information and a community survey. Please take a few minutes to learn more and share your feedback. The August GRIT also includes the latest update on the PNM substation appeal, an illustrated explanation of how electricity reaches your home, wildfire and neighborhood safety information, community events, and the annual Fourth of July parade and Roadrunner Food Bank food drive.
PNM update
Good Afternoon Sandia Heights Residents,
A quick update on the status of the Bernalillo County Commissioners denial of PNM's proposed substation application on Paseo del Norte and the 115 kV transmission lines down Tramway Blvd. PNM filed an appeal and here is the status:
LATEST
The Administrative Record (all the documents and transcripts from the Bernalillo County hearings) were filed in Second Judicial District Court on July 15, 2026.
NEXT STEPs
PNM has 33 days from that filing to file a “Statement of Appellate Issues” which is a 25 page brief describing how PNM thinks the Bernalillo County Commissioners violated the law or was arbitrary and capricious in its decision. 33 days after PNM’s Statement is filed, the County and SHHA and the North Albuquerque Acres Resident Coalition (NAARC) will file a 25 page Response Brief to the Statement of Appellate Issues where we will rebut PNM’s claims. Then 33 days after that PNM can file a Reply. Then, the District Court Judge, Dan Ramczyk, at its convenience, will either hold a hearing on the matter or will decide it on the papers. This process may take up to a year.
Whomever loses can file a petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals 30 days after the District Court makes its decision.
We will continue to keep you updated.
Taco & Margarita Fiesta – Arrival Schedule
Taco & Margarita Fiesta – Arrival Schedule
Dear Fiesta-Goers,
What a great problem to have - so many of you have signed up for the SHHA-sponsored Taco & Margarita Fiesta on Saturday, August 1!
The good news is that everyone will fit at the Homestead Café. However, the owner, Jory Rosen, has asked us to stagger arrivals so the food stays fresh and the bar and waitstaff are not overwhelmed. To help make the evening run smoothly, we've divided guests into three suggested arrival groups. You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like.
Arrival schedule:
- Last names A – G: 5:00 p.m.
- Last names H – O: 5:45–6:00 p.m.
- Last names P – Z: 6:45–7:00 p.m.
If you need to arrive earlier or later than your assigned time, please feel free to join a different group. These suggested arrival times are simply to help ensure fresher food, shorter waits at the bar, and a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you there!
