The town of Bayard held a work session and regular meeting December 11, 2023. Attendance included Mayor Chon Fierro, councilors, Frances Gonzales, Eloy Gonzales, Jose Diaz, and Eloy Medina. Gabriel Ramos, city clerk, also attended.
The work session allows the council to ask questions about items on the agenda.
Ramos received a letter from the New Mexico Municipal League on his request for information concerning a past conversation with the council. The letter said city clerk/treasurer and city administrator would be two different positions but could serve as both. The letter included the statues that support that. Ramos told the council it would be their choice. Diaz said they needed to wait for the new mayor to make any decision. It would also mean an ordinance would have to be done and a period of time for the public to have the opportunity to review. Ramos said he just wanted them to have the documents.
