corridorNotableCity Council
A proposal sought to authorize the City of El Paso to sell a 0.318-acre parcel of city-owned property to Eli Ramos Investments, LLC, for $168,000. The property sale represented a disposition of city real estate in the Ysleta Grant area. The matter proceeded through two City Council hearings in February and March 2026 but stalled without reaching a final vote.

Confirm charter process record for Alameda Avenue conveyance

Context: Minutes note items were introduced pursuant to Section 3.9 of the El Paso City Charter on February 17, 2026 with a public hearing set for March 3, 2026, when Ordinance 019847 was adopted 8-0.

Recommended: Obtain the minutes and notice file showing the February 17 first reading, the March 3 public hearing, and the executed deed, then confirm the deed's metes and bounds match Exhibit "A" of the ordinance for both tracts. The record cites Section 3.9 of the El Paso City Charter as the introduction authority but does not supply the charter text — request that section and ask whether its notice and hearing requirements were satisfied before relying on the conveyance in a title opinion.

Verify lot consolidation for 8821 Alameda Avenue tracts

Context: Ordinance 019847, adopted 8-0 on March 3, 2026, conveys Tracts 22 B and 22 C at 8821 Alameda Avenue to Eli Ramos Investments, LLC for $168,000 with each tract described by separate metes and bounds in Exhibit "A".

Recommended: The city conveyed two separately described parcels — Tract 22 B (0.318 acres) and Tract 22 C (0.205 acres) of Block 38, Ysleta Grant — as one sale, so pull Exhibit "A" metes and bounds from the adopted ordinance and confirm the two tracts are contiguous and share usable Alameda Avenue frontage before designing a single building footprint. If they are not legally merged, a replat or lot-consolidation step will be required before any permit on a structure crossing the shared boundary.

Request appraisal and paired item for Alameda land sale

Context: Minutes show Items 7 and 8 were introduced under a single motion on February 17, 2026 and Items 21 and 22 were taken together on March 3, 2026 when Ordinance 019847 passed 8-0, with Representative Limón commenting but the companion item unidentified.

Recommended: Ask the city for the appraisal or valuation supporting the $168,000 price for roughly half an acre at 8821 Alameda Avenue, and identify what Item 8 and Item 22 were — this ordinance moved through both readings bundled with an unnamed companion item, and it is not clear from the record whether that companion involved the same buyer or an adjacent parcel. Also ask what Representative Limón's comment on the bundled items concerned.

Ask what can be built at 8821 Alameda Avenue

Context: Ordinance 019847, adopted 8-0 on March 3, 2026, conveys 0.318 and 0.205 acres at 8821 Alameda Avenue to Eli Ramos Investments, LLC for $168,000, with no use condition stated in the record.

Recommended: A roughly half-acre city-owned tract on Alameda Avenue in the Ysleta area is now in private hands, and the adopted ordinance as recorded sets a price but no verified use restriction. Ask the city clerk for the recorded deed and the current zoning for Tracts 22 B and 22 C so you know what uses, hours, and building types are permitted before a site plan appears.
