A Message from Councilmember Malnar

April 17, 2020

Dear Sahuaro District Residents,

On Thursday, President Trump announced the "Opening of America Again" Plan, which provides guidelines based on each state's situation regarding COVID-19. The Plan has three phases for individuals and employers. Governor Ducey will release the Plan's phases when he feels Arizona is ready as a state.         
 
However, in the meantime, make yourself aware of the many scams that are occurring by checking the Federal Trade Commission at: 
consumer.ftc.gov. Also remember blood donations are still needed. If you are not sick and you can donate, please do!

If you have a question or complaint regarding City services, please use GlendaleOne. The link below will allow you to enter your question or complaint online. If you prefer the phone, you will see below that you can call 623.930.2000 for staff assistance .

Sincerely,

Ray Malnar
Vice Mayor
Sahuaro District
