Mayor leads discussion of Carrizozo short-term rental ordinance; no board vote recorded
Summary
At a Dec. 2 public hearing in Carrizozo, Mayor Robert E. Hemphill explained proposed Ordinance O2025-03 (Short-Term Rental Ordinance) and invited Board and public input; the transcript shows discussion but does not record a motion or vote on the ordinance.
Mayor Robert E. Hemphill opened a public hearing in Carrizozo on Dec. 2, 2025, to discuss Ordinance No. O2025-03, a proposed Short-Term Rental Ordinance. Hemphill explained the ordinance to trustees and asked for questions and input from the board and audience.
The board approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session after Trustee Simon Beltran moved to adopt it and Trustee Jesse Samora seconded; a roll-call vote recorded Beltran, Samora, Damian Luna and Mital Bhakta voting "aye." The meeting record shows the ordinance was discussed during agenda item 6a but does not record any motion, amendment, vote or final action on the ordinance itself.
No public comments or specific amendments to the ordinance are recorded in the transcript segment provided; the entry in the minutes states only that the mayor "led the discussion by explaining the ordinance and asking for questions and input from the Board and audience." The transcript does not capture further substantive details of the ordinance text, specific questions raised by trustees, or any staff response beyond the mayor’s explanation.
Trustee Jesse Samora moved to adjourn at 7:25 p.m.; Trustee Simon Beltran seconded, and the motion carried by unanimous vote. The minutes are signed by Mayor Robert E. Hemphill and Clerk Leann Weihbrecht, CMC.
Next steps: the transcript does not show a subsequent meeting date or a recorded vote on Ordinance O2025-03; any formal action on the ordinance would need to be confirmed in later minutes or a future meeting record.
