Ward 5 News: Looking Forward 1 2 World War II Memorial Bridges Update 3

Volume 4, Issue 5

November 2013

Dear Friends: I wanted to thank the good citizens of Tucson, who have given me the opportunity to serve, representing Ward 5 on the City Council. It has been a pleasure working with my colleagues on the Council and serving with two Mayors. It has been a pleasure working with the constituents, neighborhoods and businesses in Ward 5, and with City staff. Tucson is seeing the light at the end of the dark economic tunnel our community has faced during the worst economic time our country has seen since the Great Depression. When I was sworn into office in 2009, I got the message voters sent in terms of what was needed: reforming city government, economic development and creating jobs. Over the past four years we accomplished much including: development of the U of A Bioscience Park project, the construction at the Bridges Project, the opening of many retail stores such as Costco, QuikTrips, Goodwill Stores, McDonalds and Curacao. All of this resulted in the creation of 1,200 jobs alone in Ward 5 and others across the City. By leading the charge in streamlining the Certificate of Occupancy process, 71 new businesses were able to open their doors in the City of Tucson when the new rules were implemented in August 2010. During the last four years, I held Town Hall meetings, Business Forums and have updated constituents on issues of concern through E-mail, a personal blog, Facebook pages and a newsletter. I feel that communication with neighborhoods is essential to my work as your Ward 5 Councilmember which is why many meetings have taken place around the table so that we may reach a consensus. From working to form Bring Back the Splash, to ensuring the City uses the P-Card program for purchases, to lifting limitations on advertisements for SunTran buses, to ensuring that Tucsonans were being hired for City contracts, I have worked hard to lead the way and ensure that more revenue is brought into the City of Tucson and that services remain open for our residents. Progress has been made but there are still things that need to be done to get the City completely back on track. The Mayor and Council have made tremendous strides but more steps need to be taken to complete this task. My diligent staff and I have worked to try to keep you informed of what is going on and to make Ward 5 a better place to live, work and raise a family. During these tough economic times, the Ward 5 office has worked to provide the best constituent services possible. On Monday, December 2nd at 10:00 a.m. at the Tucson Convention Center, I will be

sworn in to serve a 2nd term for the residents of Ward 5. I encourage you all to join me as I am sworn in by United States District Court Judge Frank R. Zapata, who will be administering the swearing in ceremony and a blessing will be provided by Fr. Bart Hutcherson of the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center. These last four years have been ones where we have worked together to move Tucson forward in terms of jobs and business. The Renaissance of Ward 5 and the Southside has begun and I look forward to continuing the effort these next four years! Peace,

World War II Memorial Friday, November 1st the dedication of Tucsons World War II Memorial took place in Armory Park. More than 500 people were present, including Mayor Rothschild, Vice Mayor Shirley Scott, Councilmembers Regina Romero and Karin Uhlich and high ranking officials from Fort Huachuca and DavisMonthan Air Force Base. The location of this Memorial in Armory Park is significant, since it was the place during World War II, where those Tucsonans boarded buses to go off to battle in the branches of the armed services as well as the location from which many Tucsonans marched to the downtown railroad station to enter the military. This project was spearheaded by Tucsonans Gilbert Quintanilla, a World War II veteran and Connie Lujan Harris and their family members. Through the efforts of the World War II Memorial Committee funding came from the Ward 5 Back to Basics Budget of $100,000; Governor Janet Napolitano and the Arizona Legislature, earmarked a matching $100,000 from the State of Arizona Budget, done through legislation and donations of $19,570 from community members and organizations. For the entire time of this project, the Ward 5 Council Office, specifically Melinda Jacobs oversaw this effort. Melindas work entailing the compiling of the names, verification of military service to the tracking of the funds for the construction of this memorial. The Artist Selection Committee selected artists

Lauri Slenning and Rebecca Thompson to design the memorial it honors and recognizes WWII Soldiers that were from Tucson and Pima County who died in World War II, making the ultimate sacrifice. In addition to the names on the memorial, there are other components. The Bald Eagle is symbolic of the United States and our countrys role in this global conflict. The compass at the heart of the Memorial is a reminder that Tucsonans left home to fight in every corner of the world. The hearthstone at the foot of the Memorial is symbolic of home and welcomes them home. The dedication completes an eight-and-a-half year project and fulfill the dreams set out by the late Gilbert Quintanilla, a World War II veteran and Connie Lujan Harris and their family. After their passing, this effort was continued by their daughters, Mary Quintanilla Sample and Kellianne Harris Candelaria, for which Tucson thanks them for their continued work on Gilbert and Connies dream. The names of those individuals who paid the ultimate price for our freedom are listed on pages 12-15. Bridges Update Change in Name for University Research Parks The Office of University Research Parks, which directs the UA Tech Park, UA Bio Park and the Arizona Center for Innovation has changed its name to Tech Parks Arizona as part of Universitys transformational efforts in moving University research innovations to market. Tech Launch Arizona was recently created to foster an innovation ecosystem at the University of Arizona, revitalize technology transfer and connect to commercialization resources in Southern Arizona and beyond. The name change reflects that Tech Parks Arizona is an integral part of Tech Launch Arizona. Tech Parks Arizona will continue to play a significant role in economic development and technology commercialization by creating environments that promote research, education, technology innovation and commercialization, as well as high technology business development and attraction. The UA Bio Park at the Bridges is designed to meet the infrastructure needs of the growing bioscience industry in Tucson and the state of Arizona. The Bio Park is where scientific discovery connects with entrepreneurial business to advance new technology in to the marketplace. It incorporates a strong emphasis on community engagement and workforce development to grow local expertise. The 65 acre Bio Park campus is part of a larger 350-acre planned community called The Bridges, which includes residential and retail establishments. This is one of the city's largest infill projects and the first big urban-core development to mix homes, stores and jobs in a single site.

Ballot Measures Pass This election, the voters spoke loud and clear in support of Propositions 401 and 402. Winning 61.99% and 65.55% percent of the vote respectively, both propositions will go to help the City of Tucson tremendously. The passing of Proposition 401 (Permanent Base Adjustment) by the voters has permanently adjusted the Citys base expenditure limit by $50 million. This increase will allow the City to continue to provide the services it currently provides to its residents by adjusting its spending limit to accommodate the revenues it is actually receiving. This permanent base adjustment will not impose any new or additional taxes, will not increase existing property or sales tax rates, and will not permit the City to spend more than it receives in revenue. It merely assures that the City is not prevented from spending all of the revenues it does receive. The passing of Proposition 402 (Plan Tucson) by the voters has approved the new general plan for the City of Tucson. Plan Tucson was prepared through a public participation program conducted over a two year period that included members of the public and representatives of neighborhoods, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies. Plan Tucson will now replace the City's existing General Plan that was adopted in 2001. Adoption of Plan Tucson would not increase taxes or change zoning. 31st Annual El Tour de Tucson Saturday, November 23rd, more than 8,500 riders will pedal to raise money for 20 non-profit organizations, including Tu Nidito Children and Family Services, El Tours leading beneficiary. The beneficiary program was established in 1996 with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society which introduced El Tour to a new audience while allowing other non-profit agencies to use El Tour as a fundraising event. In that first year, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society raised over $675,000 in contributions. Since that time, the program has continued to expand and grow to its current roster of 25 agency partners. In 2009, an additional 639 cyclists raised almost $1.5 million as a result of El Tours beneficiary program. This was in addition to the 7,600 riders who raised more than $300,000 for Tu Nidito Children and Family Services. El Tours beneficiary program begins early in the spring with general informational meetings. In the months leading up to El Tour, the beneficiaries develop their own programs so they can meet their individual participation and fundraising goals. Any 501 (c) 3 non-profit agency may apply to the program, which is available for the main event, Indoor El Tour and El Tour Fun Ride. In addition to supporting El Tour and the beneficiary organization, out-of-state cyclists support Tucsons economy by spending money locally on hotels, restaurants, and incidentals. El Tours overall economic impact on ride week alone is estimated at $16 to $20 Million.

The teamwork of the Perimeter Bicycling and the beneficiaries makes El Tour a success, as well as creating a fun-packed ride day for the non-profits participants. With the help of the non-profit agency partners, the staff at Perimeter Bicycling, and individual riders, El Tour will continue to grow and make a difference. Proposition 409 Street Bonds Road Recovery Fog Seal Program Update - Southern Arizona Paving and Construction Co, under contract with the City of Tucson Department of Transportation (TDOT), is continuing its fog seal program associated with the voter-approved $100 million, five-year street bond program Road Recovery. Fog Sealing is the application of a thin layer of asphalt emulsion that helps cover small roadway imperfections, cracks or other small voids and seals the existing asphalt to preserve and protect the roadway. The above schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather. During this work, travel lane restrictions will be in place, however at least one lane of travel will be maintained in both directions. Business and residential access will be maintained at all times during respective projects. The traveling public can expect delays when driving in the work area. Please obey all traffic control signs and watch for construction personnel and equipment in the work area. The Road Recovery Program is funded by voter-approved bonds. All proceeds from the bonds will be used to restore and resurface City streets through Fiscal Year 2018. A Bond Oversight Commission composed of citizen volunteers is working to ensure that all bond funds are expended solely for the purpose of repairing city streets. More information on the Road Recovery Program can be found at www.tucsonaz.gov/streetbonds or by calling (520) 837-4056. Follow @TucsonRoadRecovery on twitter.

Holiday Season Safety The holidays are a time for celebration, visiting with loved ones, and reflecting on the past year and the year ahead. Yet all too often, the holiday spirit is destroyed by the recklessness of a drunk driver. Thats why the Tucson Police Department is joining with partners and law enforcement organizations across the country this holiday season to remind everyone that Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving, and that drinking and driving dont mix. Twenty-nine percent of fatalities during the Decembers of 2007 to 2011 occurred in crashes that involved drivers with blood alcohol concentrations of .08 grams per deciliter or higher. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 760 people died as a result of drunk drivingrelated crashes during December 2011. The Tucson Police Department and Ward 5 Office is encouraging people to take steps to ensure their holiday celebrations dont end in tragedy. Designate a sober driver before the celebrations begin; plan a way to get home safely at the end of the night. If you are impaired, call a taxi, phone a sober friend or family member, use public transportation, or call your local free ride program. Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel. If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someones life, and inaction could cost a life. Beginning at the end of this month, local law enforcement will be conducting DUI sobriety checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols every weekend throughout the holiday season. The holidays should be a time for celebration, not tragedy. Help us make Tucson roadways safer by never driving after drinking. Pedestrian Safety Tips During this holiday season, we would like to ask that you also be aware of pedestrians. Below are some simple tips to follow to help insure that everyone makes it home safe for the holidays. Tips for Drivers You can encounter pedestrians anytime and anywhere - even in places where they are not supposed to be found. Pedestrians can be very hard to see - especially in bad weather or at night. You must keep a lookout and slow down if you can't see clearly. When entering a crosswalk area, drive slowly and be prepared to stop. Stop for pedestrians who are in a crosswalk, even if it is not marked. When you stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, stop well back so that drivers in the other lanes can also see the pedestrian in time to stop.

Volume 4, Issue 5

Announcements

Do not overtake and pass other vehicles stopped for pedestrians. When you are turning, you often will have to wait for a "gap" in traffic. Beware that while you are watching for that "gap," pedestrians may have moved into your intended path. Be especially attentive around schools and in neighborhoods where children are active.

Tips for Pedestrians Be predictable. Stay off freeways and restricted zones. Use sidewalks where provided. Cross or enter streets where it is legal to do so. Where no sidewalks are provided, it is usually safer to walk facing road traffic. Make it easy for drivers to see you - dress in light colors and wear retro-reflective material. It might be wise to carry a flashlight in very dark areas. Be wary. Most drivers are nice people, but don't count on them paying attention. Watch out make eye contact to be sure they see you! Alcohol and drugs can impair your ability to walk safely, just like they do a person's ability to drive. Use extra caution when crossing multiple-lane, higher speed streets. Diapers Needed Access to a sufficient supply of diapers is essential for the health of southern Arizonas infants, disabled and elderly, and the quality of life of our community, but too many individuals dont have the resources to adequately provide for this basic need. As long as poverty exists, children and adults in our community will need diapers. The need is already great and its growing: just this past year, those living below the poverty line in Pima County grew by 27% meaning that 1 in 4 children are born into poverty annually. Each year the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona receives requests for nearly 2 million diapers and incontinence supplies while we were only able to distribute 600,000 diapers in 2009. Now imagine having to pick between diapers and food, and with the holiday stress of gift giving included, Christmas time can be stressful and sad for many. Currently, 1 in 3 American moms struggle with diaper needs. They often cut back on food, utilities, and other necessities to provide diapers for their babies. That is why the Ward 5 Council Office is teaming up again with Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona to collect diapers during the holiday season. Diapers can be dropped off at the Ward 5 Office any time Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
