Meeting Highlights

Dear Sahuaro Residents,

This week the Glendale City Council had its first workshop to discuss capital improvement projects for the upcoming year. We had a robust discussion about streets, public safety, library, and flood control capital improvement projects. Some projects were moved out into future years because funding was expected from bonds which did not pass during the last elections.  
 
Major street projects that may move forward for next year’s budget includes, reconstruction of Glendale Avenue west of 91st Avenue and Cactus Road from 51st to 59th  Avenue. In addition, more than $4 million is also slated for public safety infrastructure improvements. 
 
Another topic brought up by the City Council was to have a workshop on reducing the sales tax on food. This topic will be scheduled soon at a future workshop.


Enjoy your weekend,


Ray Malnar
