The town of Hurley had a regular meeting July 8, 2025. Mayor Ed Stevens, Mayor Pro Tem Reynaldo Maynes and Pete Ordonez. Aron Phillips and Robert Candelaria did not attend.
The council approved the agenda for the meeting along with the consent agenda. The consent agenda consisted of minutes from three meetings. Also, in the consent agenda had been reports from maintenance, clerk, fire department, animal control, police department, judge and library.
Municipal Judge George Moreno said he had quite a few code enforcement citations and had dealt with approximately 20 cases in court the previous month. From those the court had collected $400 to $500 in fines. Some had been issued summons because of ignoring the citations. The previous day they had a dog attack, and it had been a child, but he had not been injured but his clothing torn. The court will be dealing with that issue. Moreno wanted to commend the police chief, patrolmen, code enforcement and the fire department for their efforts on the Fourth of July.
