Councilmembers promote food distribution, parks and local events; Mayor outlines upcoming projects
Summary
Councilmembers urged volunteers for a March food distribution, encouraged park use, and Mayor Wallace reported on near-term projects including the Skyline project, CDBG meeting, Cochise College funding, and permitting steps for moving ocotillos tied to a county jail project.
Councilmember Cynthia Butterworth asked residents to volunteer for the town’s food distribution next Friday and reminded the public to pick up after dogs, noting that failing to do so violates a town ordinance and poses a nuisance near bus stops and playgrounds.
"It's a violation of a town ordinance and it's rude and it's just discourteous not to pick up," Butterworth said, asking for two-hour volunteer shifts to help bag and distribute food. Councilmember Danielle Cardella encouraged residents to enjoy town parks as weather improves. Mayor Johann Wallace reviewed near-term projects and meetings: the Skyline project is due to begin in about 30 days, the town’s CDBG meeting is scheduled for March 21, and Cochise College has received funding to expand AI-related education. Wallace also flagged a county jail project that must follow state permitting rules for harvesting and moving ocotillos.
