"DWI Crackdown, Severe Winds, and Community Events: El Paso Local Pulse"
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Mayor Renard Johnson led an "Enough is Enough" rally yesterday to combat the rising number of DWIs in our city. Police Chief Peter Pacillas shared concerning statistics - El Paso has seen 1,400 DWI arrests this year with over 181 involving repeat offenders. The police department is implementing a zero-tolerance policy on traffic violations, and a new ordinance will soon go before City Council to allow rideshare drivers to park closer to establishments, making it easier for residents to choose responsible transportation options.
El Paso is experiencing its third consecutive day of severe winds and dust. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning, indicating high risk for fire spread. If you're heading out today, secure loose objects and be prepared for reduced visibility in some areas.
The AGC of Texas El Paso Quarterly Meeting happens today. Originally scheduled for May 22nd, the meeting was moved to accommodate a Joint Committee session. This gathering brings together construction industry professionals from across our region.
Looking ahead to Friday, District 1 will host Movies in the Park at Braden Aboud Memorial Park at 7:30 PM, featuring "Inside Out 2." The City Council recently approved $1,000 from discretionary funds to provide refreshments including popcorn, snacks, and water for attendees.
In city government news, the Council met last week to update their Rules of Order, streamlining meeting procedures. The changes include combining public comment and call to the public sessions at 10 AM and implementing a new public comment conduct policy.
For those planning ahead, El Paso Community College will observe Memorial Day on Monday, May 26th. Live student and business services will not be available during the holiday.
In neighboring Horizon City, the Town Council is considering sponsoring SK84KIDS' skateboard competition by reducing the special event permit application fee to $100. They're also reviewing a resolution to deny El Paso Electric Company's rate change application filed back in January.
On the international news front that's capturing local attention, salvage crews have recovered the boom from the $40 million Bayesian luxury yacht that sank recently.
A reminder for families looking to cool off: City Council has approved $1,500 for water safety gear and vests to support the upcoming opening of El Paso's water parks, ensuring a safe summer season for all visitors.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
