Summary
Mayor Tom Armstrong said the town met with the county and neighboring communities to discuss open-space and water issues and warned the aquifer is depleting; he also announced a Memory Park canine-stroll fundraiser on April 25 to support the police K9 program.
Mayor Tom Armstrong said the town recently met with Yavapai County and neighboring communities to discuss open-space and water problems and stressed the need for regional cooperation to conserve water. "We all need to do something to conserve water, and we all need to work together to do so," he said, noting that the town's aquifer "is continually depleting" and that efforts are needed to sustain the local water supply.
Armstrong described the meetings as an opening for shared solutions but did not provide technical details, proposed regulations or an action plan in the podcast. The announcement did not specify funding sources, timelines, or required state or county approvals.
On community fundraising, Armstrong announced the annual canine stroll supporting the Chino Valley Police Department's K9 program at Memory Park on April 25. "Last year, they made about $1,500 for the dog program ... and they'd like to at least double that this year if they possibly can," he said. The town website will post registration information; participants will pay on site rather than through the town's online payment system, Armstrong added.
Residents seeking more information were directed to the town website and to Administrative Assistant Mike Coomer, who compiles items for the mayor and council.
