Dear Sahuaro District Residents,
Last Friday the City Council met for a special meeting we called a visioning session. This was the first of several visioning sessions we will be having in order to create a longer term vision for the City.
The scope of this session was limited to parks, streets, City buildings and economic development. The overall consensus was that our parks need capital improvements, our street maintenance program needs to continue at an accelerated rate, many of our buildings are in need of update, and there are a lot of economic development opportunities in the years ahead.
Part of the vision plan will be a long term strategy to determine how these improvements will be funded.
During my Neighborhood District Meetings I asked residents to voice their concerns. The main concerns have been street and right of way maintenance, parks, code compliance, library hours and crime. If you have additional thoughts on long term improvements to the City, please let me know.
With the holidays approaching rapidly, there are many upcoming events for family fun and making memories. See the information below.
Have a nice weekend!
