Utility Rate Regulation

City Council evaluated three major El Paso Electric regulatory cases before the Public Utility Commission, directing legal counsel to pursue settlement terms and ratepayer protections on generation, storage, and fuel costs.

What it means: El Paso residential and commercial utility ratepayers stand to benefit from robust legal representation and settlement terms that protect consumer interests.

City Facility Maintenance and Audit Findings

An internal audit of the Streets and Maintenance Department revealed incomplete asset inventories, outdated procedures from 2019, work order processing delays, and an insufficient general fund budget that requires frequent emergency transfers.

What it means: The general fund budget of $5.7 million for facility maintenance required hundreds of thousands in emergency transfers to cover rising HVAC and building repair costs.

Door-to-Door Water Testing Solicitations Regulation

Council passed an ordinance requiring private water testing and filtration companies to clearly disclose on door-hangers that they are not affiliated with the city or El Paso Water.

What it means: Local utility customers and homeowners protected from misleading sales tactics.

Meta Platforms Community Agreement & Grant Opportunities

The city is applying for a $4 million grant from Meta to fund solar streetlights, smart park irrigation, and traffic calming near schools with no local match required.

What it means: Brings $4,000,000 in external grant funding with zero city match.

Alcohol Waiver Denial Near Daycare

City Council voted down a request to allow alcohol sales at a bar located just 90 feet from a preschool and daycare, emphasizing neighborhood safety and protecting children.

What it means: Children and families attending the nearby daycare and school.
