Council announces food distribution, parks activities and Skyline project timeline
Summary
Councilmembers promoted a community food distribution, urged pet-owners to clean up after dogs, encouraged use of parks, and Mayor Wallace gave updates on the Skyline project, CDBG meeting and other local initiatives.
Councilmember Cynthia Butterworth announced a food distribution next Friday and asked for volunteers to help pack and distribute food, and she urged residents to pick up after dogs near bus stops and parks, noting it violates a town ordinance.
"It's violation of a town ordinance and it's rude and it's just discourteous not to pick up," Butterworth said, urging residents to carry bags and dispose of waste properly. Councilmember Danielle Cardella encouraged residents to enjoy parks and outdoor spaces. Mayor Pro Tem Christy Hirshberg described a local networking event and said she would be selling circus tickets and attending community meetings.
Mayor Johann Wallace provided several updates: the Skyline project is due to start in about 30 days, he summarized recent grant successes (GADA and CDBG items) and county discussions related to ocotillo/plant-permit issues for a nearby jail site, and he noted Cochise College received funding for AI-focused education. Councilmembers reminded residents of the upcoming CDBG meeting on March 21 and volunteer opportunities at the food distribution.
