    Discussion and action to amend the City Manager search process by eliminating City Representative interview panels and instead have the entire body of the El Paso City Council conduct interviews with candidate finalists as one body. This process creates better perspective, allows for greater follow up questions and discussion, and achieve greater collaboration and unity. This further reduces the burden on candidate finalists and allows for better preparation during interviews. Amend interview process further by eliminating rule that restricts City Representatives to speaking twice and for only 20 minutes total.

    Operational Focus Updates

    Discussion and action to direct the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare and host two community meetings in each city council district to inform, educate, and explain in detail the proposed ordinance calling an election on November 5, 2024, to permit voters to determine whether to revoke the City’s authority to issue the 2012 Quality of Life bonds that have not yet been sold or delivered. Further, provide a cost analysis and detailed line-item budget for the community outreach, mailers, text messages, and educational campaign related to the voter education the city will provide for this specific election. This should include an estimate of the total cost to the taxpayers. Additionally, all marketing, communication, and outreach must provide timelines across all mediums and be approved by the council prior to initiation. Outreach should commence once the election is called and be completed no later than two weeks before the first ballots by mail are sent out. The communication should include a timeline of events from 2012 to the present and a list of all expenditures for bond series that have been sold, but not fully utilized.

    Operational Focus Updates

    Discussion and action to amend the City Manager search process by eliminating City Representative interview panels and instead have the entire body of the El Paso City Council conduct interviews with candidate finalists as one body. This process creates better perspective, allows for greater follow up questions and discussion, and achieve greater collaboration and unity. This further reduces the burden on candidate finalists and allows for better preparation during interviews. Amend interview process further by eliminating rule that restricts City Representatives to speaking twice and for only 20 minutes total.
