CITIZEN COMMENTS
Rita Franco, a Yucca resident, said she is concerned about where the revenue will come
from to support the casino. She asked who was going to subsidize the city services that will
be required if the casino moves into the city. She said the tribe is under no obligation to
provide any money to the city to support the infrastructure needed. She said this is the
only casino that sits directly in a neighborhood with families and she asked if this was
going to drive down property values in the area. She asked what impact the casino will
have on the Westgate businesses.
Annie Oertel, a Barrel resident, said her concerns were the same as Ms. Franco's. She said
her taxes were already too high. She said she didn't want to pay more in taxes to build
roads,and additional infrastructure to support the casino. She is concerned about property
values in the area and the close proximity of schools to the casino. She said they are
ruining the small,home town feel of Glendale. She asked the Council to consider the strains
the residents of Glendale are already under when making their decision.
Martha Moffett, a Cholla resident, said she agreed with the previous comments about the
casino. She said the casino is not good for the environment and it is too close to the
1
schools. She said the drinking and gambling could cause problems within families. She
mentioned the police would be strained as well. She asked the Council to think about what
kind of city they want in the years to come before making a decision.
Gary Hirsch, a Cactus resident, said the Tohono O'odham nation initially proposed a take it
or leave it proposal to the city. He said now the city is supposed to confer and negotiate
with the nation. He said Council needs to consider funds received by the city from other
tribes as well. He spoke about the court decisions regarding the casino land issue. He
spoke about impact fees and infrastructure costs for the land that the casino would sit on.
He said if the Tohono O'odham nation isn't willing to pay the costs associated with the
casino, the city should not negotiate with them. He asked the Council to tread carefully in
any dialogue with the nation. He said the land is designated for mixed-use development.
The voters approved it and that is what the land should be used for.
Ann Traw, a Yucca resident, said she lived directly across the street from an unfinished
park at 83rd Avenue and Cavalier. She mentioned the Council's discussion at the last
meeting about not building any new parks, but keeping the existing parks in good
condition. She said there is not enough parking at the park near her residence. She spoke
about the cars parking in the dirt by the park. She said people want to use the water
feature at the park, but are unable to take their kids to play there as the city has put up no
parking signs in the dirt area around the park. She said the Council needs to provide
parking for the families who want to use the park.
Bob Stratton, a Yucca resident, said Heroes Park is a blight in the neighborhood. He
discussed the history of the park. He said after 15 years and the initial discussions about
the park, it is still 50 acres of dirt. He spoke about the park plan that had several items that
the residents in the area would like to see in the park. He said citizens in the area use the
completed areas of the park. He would like to see the Council make this park a priority so it
can be utilized by the residents in the area.
Tom Traw, a Yucca resident, spoke about the history of Heroes park and the planned
development of that area. He asked where the $6 million that was allocated for this park
went. He said all he sees is dirt out the window of his home. He said the kids need a place
to play. He said he understands the financial situation the city is in, but this park needs to
be a priority. He suggested getting neighbors to donate trees for the park. He said he
would donate 5 trees. He said the children in the area would love to have the green space.
He said the neighborhood fought for a park and it needs to be completed.
