The council approved a proclamation naming October domestic awareness month. Many American families may be tarnished with violence and fear. Approximately 95 percent of the victims of domestic violence have been women and nationally four million women have been assaulted by their partners and at least four will be murdered by their perpetrator. Approximately 70 percent of the men that batter their partners also abuse the children. They continued with a long list of statistics—one being the use of weapons, 2 percent had been with a gun, 5 percent with a knife and 93 percent had been other weapons.
Dolores Charon thanked the council for the proclamation and participation.

On October 22, 2026, Representative Luis Terrazas had a tele-town hall, and people had the opportunity to ask any questions they had. Mike Morones served as a moderator.
Terrazas started with a little background of himself. He wanted people to know he was humbled to be their representative and was born and raised in the area. "This is my community. I don't do this job for a title." He loves the community, and he will always support the community, hospitals, schools and university. More importantly small businesses and mine workers. He said he would always stand for the veterans and law enforcement. The constitution will always be important, and he will firmly stand with the second amendment.
