The town of Hurley had a regular meeting September 8, 2026. Reynaldo Maynes, Ester Gil, and Robert Candelaria attended. Jason Cox did not attend . Aron Phillips attended later in the meeting.
Public input
Archi Padilla said she knew they would be voting on the resolution for the TNR (trap neuter release) implementation plan. Southwest New Mexico Borderland Animal Rescue Coalition (BARC) had submitted a plan to the council, and it would be in their hands. However, they would continue to do what they had been doing. By implementing the resolution, the town will know everything they would be doing.
Arlene Lucero wanted to add to what Padilla had said. They started BARC two years earlier and the coalition part of the name had been purposeful because the philosophy of the organization has been to work with other people to bring people together. This resolution will be for the benefit of the town and make them formal partners.
