The town of Hurley had a regular meeting August 12, 2025. Mayor Ed Stevens, Robert Candelaria, Pete Ordonez and Aron Phillips attended. Mayor Pro Tem Reynaldo Maynes did not attend.
Public input
Anselmo Tellez said it had been a while since he had come but he had seen a drastic change. He thanked the mayor and councilors. He said they have been appreciated. Tellez had seen on the agenda the consideration for Darlene McBride, town clerk, to attend a housing summit in Albuquerque. He thought it would be a wonderful idea. He had been involved in the housing industry for thirty years. Recently people have been receiving their insurance renewals and have noticed them going through the roof. Tellez said AI has been involved and he had talked to his insurance agent and said it was called 360 AI. It tells them what to charge. He wanted more than McBride to be sent if the budget allowed. "It will be a wonderful investment into the future."
