Votes at a glance: El Paso County commissioners approve consent agenda, several ceremonial resolutions, a grant application and a contract amendment
Summary
At the June 23 meeting the court approved the consent agenda, adopted multiple resolutions recognizing local organizations and individuals, authorized a federal grant application for roadway safety, and approved an amendment to an economic development agreement with Marmaxx.
The El Paso County Commissioners Court on June 23 approved its consent agenda and adopted a series of resolutions honoring local officials, nonprofits and events, authorized a grant application for roadway safety improvements and approved an amendment to an existing economic development agreement.
Among the ceremonial actions, the court adopted a resolution honoring Judge William Edward Moody for 50 years of service (item 5a), recognized Veterans at Breakfast and its founder Dan Webb (5b), and approved a resolution for the El Paso Athletic Hall of Fame class of 2025 (5c). The court also adopted resolutions welcoming the Justices of the Peace and Constables Association conference to El Paso and declaring June 23 as Constable Chad Jordan Day (items 5d and 5e).
On funding and program actions, the court approved the planning and development department’s application for the FY25 U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant for $910,000 with a required local match of $182,000; the application is contingent on legal approval and would fund Phase 2 corridor safety projects across county roads identified by planning and the sheriff’s office (item 9a).
The court also approved an amendment to an existing economic development agreement with Marmaxx Operating Corporation to advance a scheduled payment by one year; staff described the amendment as changing the company’s payment schedule so the payment would be processed following execution of the amendment (item 11a).
Other formal actions: the court accepted the interim financial report for the month ended May 2025 (audit presentation) and deleted a previously listed grant award item from the agenda (the deletion was approved by motion). Several items were unanimously adopted; the record for the consent agenda reflects an aye vote from Commissioners Butler, Stout, O'Gheen, Coronado and County Judge Ruben Samaniego.
