Let’s Use our Resources Wisely
“We all know that Prescott is a highly desirable community to live and work it. This is, in part, due to the high quality of core public services that the city provides to ensure the safety of our residents.
“However, community growth has impacted our ability to provide these public safety services. Both the fire department and the police department have been experiencing a significant increase in calls for service over the past several years.
“New fire stations and personnel are needed, but by also focusing our budget on initiatives that increase the efficiency of current and future resources, we can reduce the overall cost of catching up to the growth we have all experienced.
“Over the long-term this will ensure that the investments of taxpayer dollars are applied in the most efficient and responsible manner and focusing on positive outcomes.”
Be Prepared for Wildfire Season
“Living safely in our beautiful city comes with a lot of responsibility for all of us. The city must do its part to effectively invest the tax dollars to implement wise initiatives that respect those investments.
“I urge citizens to also do their part, by ensuring their properties are ready for wildfire. Yavapai Firewise provides resources for property owners to create defensible space around their property.
“Other ways you can be ready for emergencies is to check your smoke detectors, and if you are a business owner to make sure you are up to date on all of the safety regulations impacting your industry.
“As your mayor, I am responsible for ensuring that our policies are effective, available and responsive. As a citizen, I urge you to also do your part to keep Prescott as vibrant, beautiful and safe as ever.
