“I get it, but to them, it seems like it's just over delay and having to resubmit and then getting things that are in compliance when it should have been done completely, not piecemeal. Do you understand? At least this is what I'm hearing from them.”

“Okay. Thank you. And there's a couple other areas that I know we can work on, particularly in the area of public safety in terms of the DIMS participation from your law enforcement. I mean, you are the number one client, so to speak, that our county jail has in terms of bringing detainees. And so we'd like to see, you know, actually 100% participation with respect to some of those issues in terms of, and I know we have our issues with respect to our DIMs that we need to, and we're working on making sure that that's fully staffed throughout the entire week. 24-7. And so I think it's not going…”

“Okay, great. Because I'd like to see that down the road, maybe that the county can take back over their fire training academy at Ascata since we made that possible for you all to take over in the first place. Where do you all stand on that?”

“Okay, and just the other thing I want to mention is that we all have issues, the county and the city, with respect to our stormwater flooding that's happening, particularly in the northeast, central areas. I know that you all are concerned about that, but I'd like to see it in the strategic planning. I didn't see a whole lot of that in there.”

“Okay, and I think right now is a good opportunity for us to work together with respect to those water infrastructure issues, even though some of that responsibility is not, I mean, it is within the city, so, and I'm thinking there's a great opportunity right now, at least in terms of some of the industries that are moving in. that we can get some community benefit agreements for them to help and provide. And I know we can advocate alongside you all and other entities to make sure that we can get that done, including our legislative delegation, both on the state and the federal side. And I…”

“I have a question. Let's assume that, best case scenario, we're able to say we're gonna transfer this over to El Paso Water. How long is that gonna take? I don't know. What'd it take?”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 2:04:34
“It's not gonna be real quick, is my guess, right? Plus, how does El Paso Water figure their rates in terms of an area that they service if they bring in an area? There's still gonna be a need for that infrastructure to our system. Are they just gonna say, okay, we're gonna spread it out over everybody else? Or is it just for those areas? That's another thing we need to look at because regardless who takes over, they're gonna have to pay for this infrastructure down the road. And how's that gonna pan out? Now we have other people saying, hey, why should we be paying if it's going to be spread…”

“That we're starting to look at recovering. Because my understanding is if we can't just turn it over, we'd have to pay off the debt, right?”

“And do we know what that, Barbara, what that break-even point is to cover or recoup the losses?”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 2:09:01
“When you say break-even on the losses, what do you mean by that? What would it be the break-even point? In other words, that we're covering all of the expenses without even And I know this is off the cuff, but...”

“Well, and they don't have that. Maybe we ought to just reset it for down the road. I don't want to have to get people right now to start calculating.”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 2:09:59
“But I think that regardless of what we decide, we're going to have to decide on some kind of increase for this coming year because otherwise, as we're told, we're operating at a loss. We can't continue this even this next year. Even if we decide we're going to... transferred over.”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 2:10:50
“Yeah, and maybe we don't do the 9% or 10% this year, but maybe 6%, 7% or something like that, something that's not going to be, knowing that down the road, if we don't transfer it, we're going to take a higher hit.”

“Looking good. It's just some of the residents have been contacting us that what's taking so long, but I get it. I mean, they're just anxious to get this done. If we had kept the original, it would have been done. Because their park's been completely closed, so they don't have access to it.”

“But no, I think they're going to be happy with this.”

“YES, THANK YOU, JUDGE, AND THANK YOU, JOMILA. CERTAINLY A LOT OF THINGS TO CONSIDER, AND I THINK HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OUR ESTABLISHING THESE NEW REGULATIONS Knowing that there's existing development already out there and current development that aren't gonna be subject to these rules, how are we going to be able to navigate that with existing development that might be nearby to where we're gonna put new rules on? How are we going to?”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026

“Yes, because there's a lot of development happening north of Trans Mountain.”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 4:36:28
“A lot of it right now. Yes. And they're in right off the mountain, all the really the prime mountainside land left in the city is in the Northwest area going to deal and towards Anthony.”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026

“Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's going to be difficult for us to navigate through that with all the construction happening, and particularly from, like I said, north of Trans Mountain that's not in the city, and it's in our area. All the way up to Westway, there's plans already. I mean, the construction is ongoing.”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026

“Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's really because I know that and I've seen already the large developers are already compliant. I know just there's a development just south, rather west of I-10 by the outlet mall where I know they've created their own large ponding area. There's like some apartment complexes. So then similarly east of the freeway between Trans Mountain and Westway large developments are they're constructing their own retention of flood issues I know they're working on that my concern is with exactly what you pointed out the other smaller areas that don't even pay…”

“Yeah, some of them, they are helping. Those large developments are helping because they're taking on a larger scope in the area. My concern is with the smaller ones that don't. I guess we'll just have to I guess what you mentioned in terms of the great data policy provisions regarding enforcement is going to have to where that's going to come to effect. And of course, we're going to need the infrastructure for that, right? We don't. Do we have?”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 4:47:31
“Yeah, no, absolutely. I guess in that respect, the sooner we get to this before the larger developers who are in sense, complying with that, but then the surrounding other development that comes around it that aren't as savvy about some of these things, that maybe we can get a handle on it. And so the quicker I guess we do it, the better this is going to be. I think we just need to get ahead of it and make sure that we have our inspectors and have enough as soon as we do this that can go out there in the community to stop some of these from becoming issues. Because I know that development, I…”

“Not only that, I apologize for interrupting, but I'm glad that we're getting this done because down the road on Bosque where you're seeing Los Mochis connect west of the river, eventually that area development is coming, the children's botanical garden, that it's going to bring a lot of traffic. And the only outlet there is Vinton, so this will provide another access out there.”

“Yeah, and it looks like it's heading right at the corner of where the current middle school and Gallegos Park is, right? Is that right, Norma?”
Commissioners Court · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 5:00:45
“And you know, Bosco Road coming out of the middle school was already a big traffic issue. So not only because of the other development, but even currently now, it's gonna help quite a bit. What is the projected?”
