Check bidding process behind SL3's eight leases
Context: All eight leases passed as two block votes (a 2-item and a 6-item group) with no individual item discussion, adopted 8-0 on 2026-05-12 after first reading 8-0 on 2026-04-28.
Recommended: Pull the staff backup for items 25-26 and 47-52 to confirm whether the eight ground leases to SL3 EP Industrial, L.P. went through competitive solicitation or were sole-sourced — bundling that many leases to one lessee in a single meeting is the kind of pattern that invites a Texas Local Government Code Chapter 272 challenge from a competing bidder.
Pull SL3 Industrial's eight new El Paso leases
Context: Council adopted eight ground lease resolutions to SL3 EP Industrial, L.P. in one meeting (items 25-26 and 47-52), grouped and passed 8-0 on 2026-05-12.
Recommended: Request the recorded lease documents for all eight parcels granted to SL3 EP Industrial, L.P. to check rent rates, term length, and any exclusivity or first-refusal clauses — those terms set the benchmark if you're bidding on remaining city-owned industrial land nearby.
Ask why SL3 Industrial got eight leases at once
Context: Items 25-26 and 47-52 — eight ground lease resolutions to SL3 EP Industrial, L.P. — passed as block votes 8-0 on both 2026-04-28 and 2026-05-12 with no individual discussion in the record.
Recommended: File a records request for the appraisals or valuations behind each of the eight ground leases and for any communications between SL3 EP Industrial, L.P. and city staff before the April 28 first reading — one company receiving eight city land leases in a bundled vote with no public debate is worth checking for how the lessee was selected.
