Verify February 17 public hearing on city land sale occurred
Context: The February 3, 2026 minutes for Item 22 state a "public hearing to be held February 17, 2026," but the February 17 Item 11 record shows only a 7-0 group vote with no hearing detail.
Recommended: Obtain the February 17, 2026 minutes and the published notice to confirm the public hearing flagged in the February 3 record was actually held and noticed before the ordinance was adopted, since the February 17 item was disposed of in a combined motion with Items 9 through 11. Ask the City Attorney's office which authority governs notice and hearing for conveyance of city-owned real property, and whether the executed ordinance recites compliance.
Pull recorded plat and deed for Spohr Addition parcel
Context: The adopted ordinance conveys only "a portion" of Tract 9B, Block 36, Ysleta Grant, also known as a portion of Tract #1, Spohr Addition, for $25,000, and was carried 7-0 on February 17, 2026.
Recommended: Pull the plat recorded in Volume 16, Page 49 of the El Paso County Real Property Records and the executed deed to Torresdey Ventures, LLC to identify exactly which portion of Tract 9B, Block 36, Ysleta Grant left city ownership and whether the deed carries use restrictions, reverter, or access conditions. Also confirm whether a remainder portion of the tract stayed with the City, which would determine access and any future assemblage before you underwrite adjacent parcels.
Ask why El Paso sold Ysleta Grant tract for $25,000
Context: The ordinance passed twice without individual discussion — Item 22 on February 3, 2026 in a group motion covering Items 20 through 23 (6-0), and Item 11 on February 17, 2026 taken together with Items 9 through 11 (7-0).
Recommended: Request the appraisal, any competing offers, and the staff backup justifying the $25,000 price for the portion of Tract 9B, Block 36, Ysleta Grant conveyed to Torresdey Ventures, LLC, plus the ownership filing identifying the LLC's principals. The record shows the price but no valuation basis and no explanation of why this buyer was selected.
