  • Pima County Begins Construction on New Soccer Stadium
    Pima County begins construction on new soccer stadium In the city of Tucson, soccer is not considered the sport of choice. In terms of attending a sporting event, that distinction belongs to University of Arizona men’s basketball, football or baseball. In terms of leisure, it belongs to golf. However, the fastest growing sport in the United States could be the solution to overcoming a nearly $1 million revenue deficit in a special taxing district of Pima County. Construction began April 25 on a new soccer stadium at the Kino Sports Complex as part of the Kino North Fields Modification Project. The construction of North Stadium, which will be operated and occupied by local semi-professional team FC Tucson, started a little over a month after the Pima County Board of Supervisors voted to provide $2.8 million to fund the creation of a 2,000-seat stadium, concession stands, a scoreboard and restrooms. North Stadium will be ready in time for FC Tucson’s 2014 season. This is phase two of a larger project to repurpose the Kino Sports Complex in an attempt to make up for revenue lost from the departure of Major League Baseball spring training. The goal is to make the complex more soccer-friendly by converting several baseball diamonds into soccer fields. “Pima County is investing $2.8 million in a new stadium because we believe this public-private partnership will bring children and families together, and help serve as an economic boost for our region by bringing more professional and youth soccer to the Kino Sports Complex,” said Richard Elias, Pima County District Five Supervisor.

Special Thanks INTRODUCTION Known unofficially for decades as the Old Pueblo, Tucson is building on its vibrant multicultural heritage to create a more urban, yet uniquely Southwestern-style future. The rest of the nation is taking notice that Tucson is on the upswing—a high quality of life, economic opportunity, lots to do and experience, and a happening dining, arts, entertainment, and local events scene. Tucson is being increasingly recognized for its livability, vitality, and cool factor. Tucson is a place like none other. Surrounded by five mountain ranges—the highest reaching more than 9,000 feet in elevation – and home to giant saguaro and other rare cacti in the heart of the living Sonoran Desert, Tucson enjoys an average 350 days of sunshine each year. Tucson hosts eclectic festivals and events year-round, most of them one-of-a-kind and home- grown, celebrating the region’s history and culture, visual and performing arts, a unique food heritage—Tucson is the first American city to be named a City of Gastronomy by UNESCO— local music, outdoor recreation, nature, science and technology, spectator sports, cycling and running.

    The Honorable Chairman and Members, Pima County Board of Supervisors Re: Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium and Pima County Stadium District January 15, 2014 Page 2 costs have been partially financed and fueled by the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority (ASTA), which was formed to assist in the building and financing of a new stadium for the Arizona Cardinals football team. The ASTA is only authorized to operate in Maricopa County. Over the years, a number of other spring training facilities have been built or upgraded in Maricopa County. Because of the additional financing provided by the ASTA, we cannot compete with Maricopa County in attracting new Major League teams for spring training. The total cost of building sports facilities in Maricopa County is now nearly $1.3 billon. The downtown Phoenix Chase Field public cost was $238 million; the Arizona Cardinals stadium in Glendale had a public cost of $307.5 million; the Coyotes hockey arena was constructed with $180 million in public funding; and $542 million in public funds has been spent for both new and renovated Cactus League baseball facilities. Several other large sports facility expenditures are planned in Maricopa County, including construction of the new $99 million Mesa Stadium for the Chicago Cubs; nearly $28 million in construction and renovations at the Peoria Sports Complex for the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners; and $17.5 million in renovations to HoHokam Field for the Oakland Athletics. These are extraordinarily exorbitant expenditures of public money for sports facilities used primarily by for-profit private organizations. An article in the December 13, 2013 Arizona Republic reported on Glendale’s fiscal stress resulting from financing sports facilities and indicated the annual payment for the two- team spring training facility for the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers would cost $17.5 million this year.

  • March 2019 to Council Town Manager’S Message
    TOWN MANAGER’S EXECUTIVE REPORT Town of Oro Valley | MARCH 2019 TO COUNCIL TOWN MANAGER’S MESSAGE February is the start of the deep dive into the preparation of the FY 2019-20 Recommended Budget. In addition to keeping the Town Council apprised of the process, I also provide an oppor- tunity for employees to hear from me regarding issues and priorities the Town will expect to see in the upcoming budget, and to listen to their concerns as well. Revenue projections are being finalized based upon actual collections to date as well as an analysis of economic projections. Town staff have met several times to review capital and fleet replacement needs, and over the coming weeks, the budget team will meet with each individual department to review budget requests line by line. The Town Council will receive the Recommended Budget prior to your April 17 regular meeting. The Town has also retained the services of Tischler-Bise to conduct the required review of Oro Valley’s development impact fees once every five years. Impact fees are those one-time fees collected with all new construction that are reserved for infrastructure investments required as a result of new growth. The Town currently collects impact fees for police, roads, parks and water. For a single family home, the current combined impact fees paid to the Town are $9,216. State law dictates a very stringent process by which fees can be calculated, and Tischler-Bise has con- siderable experience in Arizona doing similar studies for many local governments. A study ses- sion with principal Carson Bise will be scheduled in the next two to three months to brief the Council on the process and to review assumptions.

  • Annual Report 2017 Changing Lives
    LIVEBIG ANNUAL REPORT 2017 CHANGING LIVES I recently spoke with a young man who shared with me his struggles growing up in a Los Angeles neighborhood riddled with gang activity and drug use. He talked about the fights, Marie Logan the fear, and the feeling of hopelessness he sometimes felt. He spoke proudly of being successful, of “getting out of there” and all he had accomplished. He expressed how thankful he was for being able to overcome the many challenges he faced growing up. I asked him why he felt he was successful when so many of his classmates and neighbors were not. He thought for a moment and said, “Because I had someone in my life, besides my Mom and Dad, who cared about me, and I didn’t want to disappoint him. A lot of those kids I grew up with didn’t have that. I was lucky.” Stories like this remind me of how vital and important our work is. Decades of research show us what this young man knows, and what we all instinctively know, a caring adult friend in a child’s life can make a positive and long-lasting difference. Our volunteer Big Brothers and Big Sisters give of themselves every day to be that friend to a child. Our staff works tirelessly because they believe in the work we do. Our volunteer Board of Directors dedicate their time, talent, and treasure because they know the foundation of a strong healthy community begins with the health and wellbeing of its children. This past year we provided hope and friendship to well over 500 children through one-to-one mentoring relationships.
