[10] The first permanent ayuntamiento was established in Ponce while Conde was mayoring the city,by the Provincial Governor Miguel de la Torre. The new ayuntamiento did not meet in a public building,as it is the case now (2019),but instead met at the house of a prominent local citizen,Domingo Arévalo. Working alongside Conde were Antonio Albizu and Juan Rondón,both of whom performed as "teniente alcalde". Working closely with them were also Juan Pablo Aponte (regidor decano),and six council members:Valentin Tricoche,Geronimo Rabassa,Pablo Manfredi,Jose Ortiz de la Renta,Fernando Matute,and Luis Font.
