Barrel District Weekly Update

Workshop: 12:30 P.M.
Voting Meeting: 5:30 P.M.

Greetings!
Our budget workshop this week began with a staff presentation describing some of the structural needs of our City Court building. Several years ago, the City Council purchased land at 47th Avenue and Glendale Avenue and began construction on a new City Court building. Then came the Great Recession. The new court project was put on hold, and the construction site secured. At present, this Council is electing to remodel the existing court building rather than resume construction on a new court building. Current court needs include modern electrical and cooling for data equipment, additional records storage space, restroom upgrades, and security upgrades.

Additional presentations on streets, the airport, public safety, parks, and transit Capitol improvements were made and discussed. You can watch the entire budget workshop HERE.

This weekend Glendale hosts one of my favorite annual events — the Antique Engine and Tractor Show at Sahuaro Ranch Park. Check the box below for more information about this fun, family-friendly event. I hope to see you there!
