Commissioners Court - Special Meeting

Yes, thank you. I've always said, right, that special sessions are so important to us. We take a little bit more time. We don't have a lot of business. So thank you for everything you do. But I think the public needs to know everything that all of you here, administration and all the departments have to do to get us ready for this special session. So on behalf of myself and the commissioners, we thank you for being here today and look forward to a very, very productive session. Thank you.

And now I'll pass it along to Bernie. I'm sorry, before we move on, Lydia, can I just ask a follow-up question about Coyote Park in Tornillo? So I understand, I think we have a date for the first community meeting. We have a community meeting, I think, in November, no? November 19th?

And the reason I'm asking is because there's a lot of interest from the community. They want to attend this meeting and so they keep asking if there's a date set. When do you think we will know?

Okay, so we're waiting for the consultant.

The commissioner already has his own shovel, okay, so he's ready to go.

Thank you so much. Great job, Bernie and team.

Commissioner O'Gean, anything? Do you see anything in your area that Michael or Commissioner sort of knows?

First off, Judge, I do want to thank our staff. This is an incredibly heavy lift. This is completely new legislation that was passed by the legislature to deal with this huge problem that we have in Far East El Paso. And our staff basically had to come up with these policies from scratch to do something that no one's ever tried to do before. So I want to thank our staff, George, Michael, for all of their efforts. One of the things that we did think was important, Judge, was to make sure to provide this presentation to both Representative Gonzalez and Senator Blanco. So we've already done that.

Okay. Wishing everybody a great weekend. Thank you. Thank you all. Motion team, translators, thank you. Take care, Commissioner Stout.
