On June 23, 2026, I brought forward an item directing City of El Paso City Manager and City Attorney to begin drafting a Community Agreement with Meta. That item received unanimous support from Council.
Today, City staff provided Council with an update on the progress made toward developing that agreement. While we are not yet where we need to be, I appreciate the meaningful progress that the City Manager, City staff, our community partners, and Meta have made through their continued discussions.
We are changing the trajectory of where this process began and moving it in a positive direction. The work underway represents a significant shift in how we approach accountability, transparency, and the expectations we set for partnerships that have a lasting impact on our community.
There is still important work ahead, and I look forward to the continued development of a Community Agreement that reflects the priorities of our community and delivers meaningful, long-term benefits for our residents.
