The second in a 2 part series on the council workshop that took place Fridy February 10, 2023. The complete 5 hour video is on the town website. I chose the two topics that get a lot attention in Oro Valley.

This podcast gives the OV residents an update on the Town Council priorities for the coming 2 years. The comments by the Council will give you an idea where they stand on the community center. 
Part 2 to follow...

Here's a brief update on the meeting last night.

I take us back to 2014 right before we bought the golf courses and the community center. Listen in to the Council discussion about ADA compliance. I then follow up with the March 16, 2022 town Council meeting where a couple of citizens speak about the need to bring the community center into ADA compliance. I follow with Councilman Solomon's presentation, then and finally Vice Mayor Barrett's motion to make ADA compliance a priority. To date nothing has been done.

Dave Gebhart, OV CFO, reports that the town is fiscally well off, but we've had some unanswered questions regarding  tax receipts that don't chive with the economic landscape. Could Oro Valley be losing ground in bed tax, food/beverage sales and construction tax?

Here's a quick podcast going over the agenda items for the meeting. It is a new carwash in town possible? Listen in to hear what they are all about.

The meeting accomplished little if anything on how the ARPA monies ( $5.4 mil) are to be spent. Listen to the “ping pong exchange” between council and staff.
