Your Open Space Advisory Board won . . . again. After a lengthy presentation by Mr. Jim Carrillo of Halff Associates regarding their study (A Review of the Role and Duties of the City of El Paso Open Space Advisory Board) and other presentations including the one above by OSAB Chairman, Charlie Wakeem, Representative Susie Byrd once again moved that the duties of the Mountain Committee and the oversight of Hillside Developments be given to Open Space. Representative Steve Ortega, who seconded the motion, even asked why Council was considering this matter again. The vote: unanimous although Representatives Holguin and Quintana were not present.
Slide 6 above is what Rep. Byrd moved to reaffirm.
Thank you to the OSAB for your diligent vigilance to ensure implementation of the Open Space Master Plan! Your work is vital to El Paso’s future.
