Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department Proposed Industrial Waste Permit Fee Changes
It is anticipated that the Board of Supervisors will consider a revision to the Industrial Waste ordinance (Title 13, Chapter 36), at its regularly scheduled meeting on June 18, 2013. The ordinance is being revised to address changes mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). As part of this revision, the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit Fees under Section 13.36.120 are proposed to change as follow:
The Application and the Renewal Fees for:
Significant Industrial Users will be $800.00
All Other Users will be $150.00.
The County authority to charge industrial discharge permit fees is derived from A.R.S. § 11-264.
A copy of the complete proposed ordinance revision, a proposed updated Enforcement Response Plan, and schedule of Public Meetings can be found on the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department’s website at: http://www.pima.gov/wwm/about/div/CRAO/IWC/index.htm.

On September 7, Pima County began mailing approximately 451,000 property tax bills for the various property taxing jurisdictions within the County. Today, there are 94 separate levies for the different taxing jurisdictions: school districts, fire districts, the City of Tucson, Pima Community College and numerous other special districts. The County is responsible for only four of the 94 different tax levies that may be assessed against your property. Hence your tax bill will vary depending on where you live. In the interest of helping residents understand the various taxing categories they may see on their bill, Pima County has created an online property tax tutorial. For further details, visit http://www.pima.gov/taxes/.

Wireless radio project will improve public safety countywide
Pima County, Ariz. – In 2008, a 25-year-old man led police and sheriff's deputies on a zig-zag car chase that began on the  northwest side of Tucson and ended on Mount Lemmon, with one Tucson Police officer fatally wounded and two Pima County Sheriff's deputies injured. The two deputies survived. Throughout that deadly chase, police and deputies weren't able to talk to each other on the same radio frequency.
The incident highlighted a serious flaw in emergency communications that is now being corrected by Pima County. The outdated radio systems being used by most first responders will be old news by 2013, when the county's new public safety Wireless Integrated Network, funded by bonds approved by voters in 2004, is expected to begin operation.
