Message: The length of Triple A baseball FIELD (not included thestadium part) is 118 meters from home plate to the endof the outfield. That is bigger than Sun Bowl/UTEPfootball field length. UTEP field doesn't fit in the CityHall area. How in the world are they going to fit abaseball field in area where a football field doesn't fit?Someone hasn't measure the length. Something is offhere and this needs to be address quickly.

We do not own Asaarco site. It will not be available to any type of redevelopment for at least

another 2 years. Not sure we could accommodate this facility on that property given some of the

environmental issues with the property. We looked at that initially and rejected for these

reasons. If this person would actually review the information on the web they would see that we

did review and rejected.

leaders of Insights Museum and they are on board with the transition to the larger vision and want tobe a part of the planning and implementation going forward. So we have not abandoned thisimportant asset nor ignored the future planning.

From the ball parkfootprint i see the museum is gone. Is this issue beingignored because it is privately owned so it is not aconcern? Having a children's museum and or sciencemuseum also located downtown is important. There is

synergy from co-locating these museums and librarynearby each other. Please make plans on how to takecare of this issue.

Respond as follows:

City leaders have actively been engaged in creating facilities and opportunities for soccer professional and amateur. Several facilities are on the proposed ballot for November. We also arecollaborating with UTEP to upgrade the Sun Bowl for MLS. The bottom line is MLS will view El Pasos viability based on our success with Triple-A. That is a test bed for other things.

Message: Dear city representative The plan to build a downtownbaseball stadium is a bad one. Not only do we alreadyhave a baseball stadium, we lack a stadium for the mostwidely played and supported sports in el paso. Soccer.You should instead simply improve Cohen stadium Andbuild a multipurpose soccer stadium in downtown. We

are not like other city's like Cleveland. Instead of tryingto emulate them we need to embrace our ownidentity. We are truly a soccer city and we shouldembrace the talent and love for the sport the city has.

An MLS club would be the best sporting club for thecity. It would draw people to downtown in much greaternumbers than a baseball game in el paso. The baseballidea is a waste for tax payer money and doesn't benefitthe majority of the youth and tax payers in the city.

Advise that they will be a primary tenant and will pay rents for use and access to

facility. City ownership will provide greatest flexibility in terms of opportunities forother uses and rents and related income. In situations where private ownershipinterests occur they usually control access and income to a greater extent. Theownership group is paying considerable money for the team purchase for theopportunity to move to EP and assuming greater than normal risk on return. Thisis not an unusual arrangement.

Message: Recently I circulated a petition to have the ballpark/cityhall plan brought before the voters before it is finallyapproved. Now it seems that the petition will not have

any effect because the signatures cannot be verified intime for the plan to appear on the November ballot. Thisis very unfair! The voters have a right to be heard onthis question, as it will affect our taxes. And I would liketo add that of the 25 or so neighbors whom Iapproached, only 2 refused to sign. Most people realizethat the plan is a big gamble; why didn't the city councilrealize this?

How is the "El Paso Tomorrow Advisory Committee" constituted? Is it a city entity or aprivate entity? If it is a city entity, how exactly are the members appointed--who decides whothey will be? If it is a private committee, does the city have a contract or some other formallyconstituted agreement to be working with it? If not, is it registered as a lobbyist, or are themembers registered individually as such?

This group is a private advisory committee consisting of DMD, PDNG and other community

members interested in supporting and advocating for the QoL bond election. (This is similar to theQoL Bond Committee in 2000 that was spearheaded by the Chamber at that time. ) Initially came

together to coordinate with city on community outreach and recommendations. The group was

working with Rick Horrow as well. City has not formal contract or arrangement other than staff

worked collaboratively up to the presentation on April 18 with the prelimary bond

recommendations and then again on the final recommendations in May. Staffs involvement has

been limited since then because group was evolving into a Political Action Committee to officially

advocate for the bond election in November at least we believe that is going to happen or is

happening.

Cannot respond to the issues of registered lobbyist. Would need to contact them directly or

check.

(Julie, you might want to check with Richarda to see if this group is registered as a lobbyist with

City. I dont believe so.)
