Thank you for affording me the privilege to serve as your public servant on the City of El Paso Council. I am honored to represent District 1.
Like many El Pasoans, my family’s journey here began far away in a foreign land. My father, Leonardo, immigrated to the United States from Argentina in the 1970s to study medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, where he went on to become a successful spinal and neurosurgeon.

Had a great meeting today with Victor Vasquez, a member of the Governmental Affairs Committee of the Greater El Paso Association of Realtors. He presented me with a copy of "On Common Ground" the magazine from the National Association of Realtors focusing on our cities and Smart Growth. Thank you Victor!

Greetings District 1, I am glad to announce that starting next week, on November 8, 2021, nonessential travelers will be able to visit our city once again by crossing one of our three ports of entry from Mexico. During these months of the pandemic the number of positive cases increased in our comm...

The City of El Paso is prepared for the Texas-Mexico border to reopen, Monday, November 8, 2021, for non-essential travelers for the first time since March 2020.
The Texas-Mexico border was closed for 20 months to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now with the abundance of the COVID-19 vaccine and a reduction of positive cases, the White House moved away from the country-by-country restrictions.
Individuals crossing the border must adhere to the following requirements when crossing the border into the US at all ports of entry:
-- present proof of COVID-19 vaccination as outlined on the CDC website; and,
-- verbally attest to their non-essential travel and COVID-19 vaccination status.
The CDC has determined that for purposes of travel to the United States, vaccines accepted will include current FDA approved or authorized vaccines and World Health Organization (WHO) emergency use listed vaccines. To date, there are currently seven vaccines that meet the CDC’s requirements, including:
-- Pfizer-BioNTech
-- Moderna
-- Johnson and Johnson
-- Oxford–AstraZeneca
-- Sinopharm BIBP
-- Sinovac
-- Covishield
Individuals under 18 years of age and those engaged in essential travel will not be required to be vaccinated at this time; however, beginning in January 2022, all travelers—whether for essential or non-essential reasons—must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination.
“In anticipation of the reopening of the border we have consistently been in communication with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to be fully prepared for the increase in crossings. We are also in close coordination with our Police Department to ensure that we have enhanced traffic control plans to better manage congestion near the ports of entry,” said David Coronado, Managing Director of International Bridges and Economic Development. “We strive to keep our community safe and will ensure to have extra CBP officers so that the agency can have additional lanes open during peak and help stabilize wait times as we enter into this new phased reopening.”

Fall FloraFest 2021
Fall is the best time to plant most perennials, shrubs, and trees. The soil is still warm, allowing roots to grow. With more developed root systems, these plants will be ready to grow next spring and handle the hot and dry early summer months.
FloraFEST is the only fundraiser for the maintenance and operation of the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens. Shoppers can visit with local Master Gardeners, horticulturists, and other plant experts for advice on how to care for their plants at home. We sell mostly native and native-adapted (plants that are not native to our region but will grow well here) plants, many of which are not available at local nurseries or retailers.
Our plant sale will be held on October 9, 2021 from 9:00 A.M. until we sell out. The sale is at the UGLC plaza at UTEP, between the Centennial Museum and the UGLC. Parking is available at the Sun Bowl Parking Garage.

My condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Diana Natalicio. She was a strong leader and voice for our community and UTEP. Her vision for a better El Paso was inspiring to many of us, including myself. Her dedication to this community and education was recognized not only nationally, but internationally as well. She helped pave the way for countless students, and their families, to succeed with their education and their careers. She deeply cared for the borderland, and it showed everyday with her presence and exemplary character. Thank you Dr. Natalicio. May your memory forever be for a blessing.
Peter

Greetings District 1,
I hope you have had a great week.
Part of my role as your representative is oversight and listening to your concerns about what is going on not only in our District but our beautiful city as well. A large part is to help inform. Recently, we have seen troubling issues relating to infrastructure failures with EP Water and the Frontera Force Main pipes located around the intersection of Doniphan and Sunland Park Drive. I have heard disturbing reports from business owners and residents about raw sewage sitting in city streets as well as up to this very day an open sewage pit operating around this intersection. Perhaps most troubling is untreated sewage flowing into the Rio Grande day after day. According to EPWU, this project is anticipated to be completed by EP Water, a separate entity from the City of El Paso, sometime towards the end of November or December. Like many you I am concerned about this timeline and the ongoing impacts to our community.
In response to this ongoing crisis, my office alongside District 3, and District 8 have placed an item on our City Council Work Session this Monday Sept. 27th to receive an update from Ep Water about this project and their response. I hope you will be able to tune in or participate. I am concerned about this project and how we need to respond to these infrastructure challenges affecting our community.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our office by email at [email protected] or by phone at 915-212-1002
I hope you all have a great and safe weekend.
