At exactly 5:30 P.M. on Monday, September 23rd attorney Gloria Hernandez took the oath of office for Place 1 on the City Council of Eagle Pass.
A very emotional Hernández took the chair which had been vacant since May after the resignation of Asalia Casares.
"I want to thank all of my supporters and the many volunteers who never left my side the entire campaign," stated Hernandez, "I would also like to thank the voters who have placed their trust in me to work for the betterment of our community."
When asked what her agenda is after coming into the position she concluded, "I haven't come to change anything, I have come to work with the council and have come on to fill a vacancy and I will do so to the best of my ability."
At the meeting the council also took the decision to appoint Luis Sifuentes as Mayor Pro-tempore

Councilman Luis Sifuentes informed The News Gram of the fact that the City of Eagle Pass has approved a feasibility study to see if an airport nearer Eagle Pass would be a venture the city is willing to explore. "A motion was made and approved to see if we need an airport and whether it's frugal to expand it," stated Sifuentes referring to an airstrip which Mr. CC Winn has agreed to donate for the project, "It's a project which has been discussed for over a year now, and we're going to see if we really need it, what are the advantages and disadvantages." The strip is located between Hwy 57 and 277 just past the new outer Loop 480. A presentation was made by both Robert Gonzalez and Al Groves who both have worked on improving the infrastructure of Eagle Pass for many years. Sifuentes closed by saying that they were indeed given the dimensions of said facility and they will continue to look into the possibilities of such a venture. City Secretary Mary Velasquez said that this study was going to be conducted at a cost of no more than $30,000.00 which was approved at the Regular Meeting of the City Council on Tuesday.
