Dear Sahuaro District Residents,
This week the Council again received news that AEG is returning $1.6 million to the City from arena operations. This in effect reduces our annual operating cost to $4 million, a decline of nearly 65% over operating expenses from just a few years ago.
Another topic of discussion was our capital improvement program over the next 10 years and the possibility of asking the residents to authorize additional bonding authority. Some time ago the Council put in place a policy that prohibits the City from issuing bonds that would raise the property tax levy. Therefore, if the public authorizes any additional bonding authority it would not increase property taxes overall.
Recently a resident inquired about the construction project taking place east of 67th Avenue at Paradise Lane. The new building planned for the area will be an adult day care center operated by Catholic Charities.
Enjoy your weekend,
Ray Malnar
Councilmember
Sahuaro District
