A Message from the Pima County Board of Supervisors

At the meeting of June 17, 2003, the Pima County Board of Supervisors directed staff to begin preparations for a possible May 18, 2004, bond election. The Board further directed that the May 2004 bond election would include open space, neighborhood reinvestment, and other improvements as recommended by a bond advisory committee. At the meeting of July 1, 2003, the Board created three advisory committees for the 2004 election.

The Pima County Bond Advisory Committee is a 19-member body, with the charge to recommend to the Board on the magnitude and substance of the bond package. The Board asked the Committee to report back by December 2, 2003.

The Conservation and Neighborhood Reinvestment committees were created by the Board to assist the County Bond Advisory Committee. The Board charged both of these committees to make recommendations to the County Bond Advisory Committee on the substance, structure and procedures for an open space and neighborhood reinvestment program respectively, if they are approved by the voters. These committees are scheduled to report to the County Bond Advisory Committee by mid-October 2003.

Through the quick links on the left, Pima County will provide the widest possible, timely dissemination of public notice and information about the progress and output of these committees, as well as about significant correspondence between the Board and County Administrator’s office and the committees, other jurisdictions, and the public. The Your Questions and Opinions Are Important link in upper right will provide the public with the opportunity to submit questions to the County or to the committees that will be answered in a timely fashion. This correspondence will also be posted on this Web site for the public to view.

As the committees proceed with their work, they will receive a significant amount of information. Summaries of each meeting of each committee will be posted on this site and reference will be made to presentations that are made. Copies of these materials are maintained by County staff and are available for the public to view at any time. Request to view this information.
