The proceeds are intended to finance another segment of Blossom Rock Trail.

Zach Sakas, special counsel with Greenberg Traore, told the board that Brookfield — the developer — has begun selling lots to home builders and that builders who have purchased or are under contract have signed consent forms allowing the assessment process to proceed. “In this case though, when Brookfield does do them, they’re well prepared,” Sakas said, describing the developer’s role. He noted the district engineer prepared an assessment diagram and concluded that each lot in the area can reasonably benefit from the portion of the project they will be assessed for.

The board separately adopted two resolutions: one approving the feasibility report and formation of Assessment Area 2, and a second approving the assessment diagram and levying the $3,500 per-lot assessment. Both resolutions were moved, seconded and adopted by roll call with all members present voting yes.

Why it matters: the adopted resolutions move the district forward in forming the assessment area and establishing the legal basis to issue special assessment bonds that would finance the public works segment. The board indicated staff will return at a subsequent meeting to confirm the assessment process and, if appropriate, consider authorizing a bond sale.

Next steps: district staff will proceed with the confirmation phase; the board will consider a second meeting to finalize assessments and possibly authorize bond issuance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Superstition Vistas Community Facilities District No. 1 Meeting - 4/15/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Superstition Vistas Community Facilities District No. 2 approved a feasibility report and assessment diagram for Assessment Area 2 on April 15, 2025, establishing assessments of $3,500 per lot on 691 lots (total $2,418,000) to finance a segment of Blossom Rock Trail.","taxTitle","Apache Junction, Pinal County, Arizona","taxId",52809,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6066341,"Superstition Vistas CFD No. 1 approves assessment area 5 to finance Davis Drive improvements",484,359000,843000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3176549-e0834c3a4b88efa7ffd978b8563df79c&start=359&end=843","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3176549-e0834c3a4b88efa7ffd978b8563df79c/thumbnail_359000.jpg","/articles/6066341/Apache-Junction/Pinal-County/Arizona/Superstition-Vistas-CFD-No-1-approves-assessment-area-5-to-finance-Davis-Drive-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6066341-70812ebf77393d954e18f4451a412570/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164496&Signature=eGqyP1X9dn8btnp39EKYVM72s8ji~2cuA3XaXfYz0E454jzKHDldxRMMwhIMbqJ8alvfuEAQUDWHFflvWyKE00S3kaDw1EHcUnI6GSzRY-On3oEHCnH29nRDRGttkCxuErcm0vjjX7gX1RA1y6HrVxj91lGpzELN-lk-wFdwPCAZ1BCRHv~Dy7WFPONBXdaEGaFw9rl6spPTO-X6q9CIn9HtvZJwvl7nxxQ6Fs9Q-Qy8wRCgXdHUCXTv707muVPmyFTRg7~FdOFobvuJd~MzfXdXanjpOkr164VbWdXqJ68yazmUxRmvPz8bg0-aqjcxtoPGWXvotQqs5MfOytZRBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board of the Superstition Vistas Community Facilities District No. 1 approved a feasibility report and levied an assessment diagram for Assessment Area 5 during a special meeting on April 15, 2025. The district will assess 172 residential lots at $5,000 per lot, a total assessment amount of $860,000, to finance public infrastructure improvements including a newly built street named Davis Drive.

Zach Sakas, special counsel with Greenberg Traore, presented the feasibility report and described the proposed bond financing and the new improvements. “This has 172 residential lots that will be assessed for $5,000 each, very similar to the transactions previously considered by this board,” Sakas said. He told the board the improvements — including Davis Drive — have been accepted by the city as complete.

The feasibility resolution approved the district’s intent to acquire the described improvements, to form Assessment Area 5, and to permit the issuance of special assessment bonds to finance the work. A separate board resolution approved the assessment diagram and the $5,000-per-lot assessment after the district engineer confirmed that the individual lots will benefit from the improvements being financed.

The two resolutions were each moved, seconded and adopted by roll call. Each roll call recorded the same voting members and all votes were recorded in the affirmative. No public speakers testified during the public hearing on the feasibility report.

Why it matters: the board’s actions create the legal and administrative steps that allow special assessment bonds to be issued against the specified lots. The assessments attach to the lots in Assessment Area 5 and are intended to fund the public infrastructure the board identified.

Next steps: board staff and the district engineer will continue the assessment process; the board will hold a follow-up meeting to confirm assessments and, if appropriate, consider authorization for the sale of bonds.","The Superstition Vistas Community Facilities District No. 1 on April 15 approved a feasibility report and an assessment diagram establishing Assessment Area 5.

The purchase supports a meter-radio installation program funded through a WIFA grant; staff said the district will replace meter boxes at the same time it installs new radio equipment on water meters.

Mike, district director, described the boxes as 18-by-18 concrete polymer units that protect meters and radios and allow staff access for turn-on/turn-off operations. He told the board the boxes cost roughly $250 each; purchasing 400 boxes represents about 10% of the district’s total boxes and targets only the boxes that need replacement as crews perform radio installs. “We’re requesting $106,000 to purchase 400 meter boxes to start this replacement process as we install these radios,” Mike said on the record. The motion to purchase up to 400 boxes from Ferguson Waterworks passed unanimously on roll-call vote.

The board also approved a schedule for FY2025–26 budget work sessions and adoption: a special budget work session on May 6, 2025, at 6 p.m.; a tentative budget public hearing on May 20, 2025, at 6 p.m.; and a final budget public hearing and adoption on June 17, 2025, at 6 p.m. All hearings will be held at Apache Junction City Council Chambers, 300 E. Superstition Station Blvd.

District Director Mike also briefed the board on the Apache Junction Water Festival scheduled for April 24 at Prospector Park from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., which staff expect will host roughly 200 fourth-grade students and about 50 volunteers. The festival — described as an educational outreach on water supply, conservation, and the watershed — is sponsored in part by the University of Arizona according to remarks at the meeting.

Clarification about the procurement amount: the recorded discussion contains an inconsistent numeric phrase later in the presentation in which the speaker appears to say \"$1,066,000.\" The board motion and the speaker’s initial statement both identify the requested amount as $106,000; the article reports the approved motion amount as “not to exceed $106,000” and notes the transcript contains the later, inconsistent utterance. The minutes or purchase order documentation should be consulted for the definitive contracting amount.

Why it matters: the purchase supports a federally/state-funded meter radio installation program intended to improve meter reading and operational efficiency; the budget schedule sets the public process for the district’s FY2025–26 rates and appropriations.

Next steps: procurement will proceed pursuant to the approved not-to-exceed amount; staff will present budget materials at the May 6 work session and public hearings on May 20 and June 17.","The Apache Junction Water District board on April 15 approved purchase of 400 meter boxes from Ferguson Waterworks in an amount not to exceed $106,000, set budget work‑session and public hearing dates for fiscal year 2025–26, and heard an update about the April 24 Water Festival for local fourth graders.","actionData","errors"]
