Silver City council member calls out mayorBy Lynn JanesThe Silver City Town Council held a regular meeting July 14, 2026. Salaiz said they had not had any meetings with the museum society and had not responded to a letter from the museum society. “The council makes good decisions by listening to the public discussion during the council meeting, then voting with the majority.” They have two separate entities involved in fundraising, Silver City Museum Society a 501c3 founded in 1985 and Friends of the Silver City Museum operating under the fiscal sponsorship of the Gila Community Foundation (GCF) a 501c3. The council approved that the town shall continue to own and operate the Silver City Museum, and the town will negotiate with the Museum Society.
