On October 24, 2024, the commission held a regular meeting at the city annex building.
Raymond De La Vega, Stantec project manager, had an update on the project. They will be working on the basis of design report and laying out the alignment.
The survey has been almost completed except two small segments. They should have that from their department next week. The engineers have continued to work on the EPS model. That would be the extended period simulation about the chlorine residual water age. They need two more components that they expect to have from John Shoemaker the following week. Stantec has also been compiling historical well data on some of the wells at Santa Clara and Hurley.

A party that got out of hand seems to be the source of several calls to Grant County Regional Dispatch Authority reporting shots fired in the area of Shady Grove and Canal Street on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, at about 1:35 a.m. According to a Silver City Police Department incident report, officers responded quickly to the area and to a white Ford vehicle behind the SCPD with a victim.
The victim, Alix Rivera, 18, of Bayard, was bleeding from his right cheek and answered in the affirmative when asked by officers if he had been shot. The driver of the vehicle, Miguel Misquez, 40, of Bayard, told officers he and his friends were at the party when a fight broke out, and to his knowledge, the only person with a handgun at the party was a juvenile, WL.
