The town of Hurley had been set to have a regular meeting February 11, 2025. Only Mayor Ed Stevens, and Pete Ordonez had attended so a quorum could not be met. Mayor Pro Tem Reynaldo Maynes had been held up and councilors Nanette Day and Keana Huerta had resigned.
Stevens read the resignation letters. Huerta cited school and responsibilities as a reason she could not continue. Day said she had been hired for a job that did not allow for any government pay so she could not continue on the council.

The Silver City Town Council held a work session meeting February 3, 2025. Attendance to the meeting included Mayor Ken Ladner, Mayor Pro Tem Guadalupe Cano, Nicholas Prince, Rudy Bencomo and Stan Snider.
They started the meeting out with public input on the proposed notice of intent to adopt an ordinance for the citizens' advisory board. Ladner let them know they each had three minutes to make their statement. He asked them to make the comments brief and to the point.
Police Chief Freddie Portillo spoke to the council and thanked them for the opportunity to speak. He reminded the community the police work for them and having a good working relationship and gathering community input would be invaluable. "The community does and always will come first. However, I do not support this notice of intent." The community as a whole provides oversight.
