FLORENCE – Sixteen months ago, a group of Pinal County citizens was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to envision a “sustainable” future. In the Dec. 7 Board meeting, the committee presented its findings to the Supervisors. “Sustainability means different things to different

people,” said District 3 Supervisor David Snider. “The Board was judicious when it gave the committee four specific areas of focus. This was a very intelligent group of residents who stayed on track throughout their timeframe.”

By Betsy Quinn The Superior Town Council adjourned for executive session (secret) twice during the Jan. 5 meeting to discuss issues relating to the employ-ment of Town Manager Melanie Oliver. Initially the council con-vened to executive ses-sion to seek legal advice from town attorneys Chris Wencker and Chad Nevin. The agenda item listed discussion, consideration or action regarding contin-

ued employment, assign-ment, appointment, pro-motion, dismissal, salary, disciplining or resignation of Town Manager Melanie Oliver. Oliver had left the meeting prior to the initial executive session. When the council re-convened from that ini-tial session Oliver was contacted and the council noted that she had re-quested to be addressed in executive session. Upon Oliver’s arrival a second executive session was ap-

proved. Following this second executive session, the council approved a mo-tion to table the agenda items relating to Oliver’s employment as town man-ager. Oliver was present at the end of the executive ses-sions and stopped on her way out of the meeting and offering to pose for a photo. Oliver was com-posed and friendly while introducing herself to this reporter.

“I am not a bad per-son,” she said and then announced, “I have just retired.” Due to the tabling of the agenda items the Mayor and Council members were not able to make any comments. Oliver’s position as Su-perior Town Manager has been the subject of ongo-ing local controversy re-lating to her performance, town issues and extended medical leave during her tenure.

By Betsy Quinn Superior Town Council met on Jan. 5, focusing on key issues facing the town of Superior for the upcom-ing 2012 fiscal year. Council members and Mayor Jayme Valenzuela focused on critical budget-ing and financial issues in an effort to fully understand the reasons behind current financial shortfalls. Cur-rently the town of Superior has unpaid obligations of $186,548. That amount does not include $34,000 in funding for a new police car approved and ordered in 2011. Rita Wentzel of the Town Finance Department told Council members that the $34,000 in 2011 funds for the police unit was sim-ply not set aside. Wentzel said although not misspent, the $34,000 will now have to be paid using 2012 fund-ing. The police car is cur-rently back-ordered and has not been delivered.

Deputy Town Manager Lou Digirolamo advised the Council that the current Po-lice Department budget has $20,000 allotted for a police vehicle for 2012. Discussions revealed no clear method or chain of command to oversee and authorize day to day spend-ing and expenses. Council unanimously voted to put in place a purchase order system for all future expen-ditures. With the purchase order system, the Council would be presented with all proposed expenditures. The council would then ap-prove or reject the proposed expense. Town Deputy Manager Digirolamo will continue to be permitted to approve requested expendi-tures using the Town debit card for some expenses. Currently the debit card is checked out and back in for expenses deemed a neces-sity on a day to day basis. Wentzel called going to

the purchase order system “mission critical,” saying the system would take care of expenses moving for-ward. Wentzel advised that the current shortfall must still be addressed. Council also noted that one of hard-est part of their tasks is be-ing transparent to residents and the community. Council directed the town staff to continue reviewing all of 2011 Council meeting minutes to determine what, if any, other commitments the Council may have ap-proved in 2011 and deter-mine if there are any other unfunded obligations to be addressed in 2012. Council also directed Deputy Town Manager Lou Digirolamo and staff to meet with Resolution Copper officials to request $100,000 in 2012 Urgent Needs Funding, as outlined in the Mutual Benefits agreement of Jan. 6, 2011. Council debated whether

Superior Council sets sights on 2012 fiscal yearto use that funding to bring the Town’s General and Grants outstanding accounts payable to a current status versus applying the Urgent Needs Funds toward com-munity improvement proj-ects such as a park to ben-efit the whole community. The Urgent Needs Funding from Resolution Copper may be used as the town dictates and is not required to be earmarked for special projects initially. Council was advised that there are more outstanding bills than revenue for several funds and money continues to be borrowed from funds that are, or should, be restricted to pay the Town’s expenses. In the coming months Superior Town Council will be considering ways to ad-dress town funding, includ-ing seeking new potential funding sources, collection of unpaid utility bills and local taxes, and possible spending reductions within departments. The Council heard a pre-sentation from Larry Jochai of Orion Recycling on the Superior Transfer Station. Jochai outlined his ideas about a project that would allow the transfer station to generate electricity through burning wood. Jochai says such a project could allow his operation to pass along the savings to the Town

of Superior. Jochai cites a story he read about a simi-lar project in Snowflake, Arizona in the Arizona Re-public. Jochai indicated he would continue to research this special project at no cost to the Town. Following Jochai’s pre-sentation the Council voted to reject the three year re-newal option of the expired contract between the Town of Superior and Orion Re-cycling. Council advised Jochai that the Town will continue on the same month to month agreement that has been in effect since the con-tract expired in 2011. That will allow Orion to continue operation of the Transfer Station for the time being. Council further directed Jo-chai to make good faith ef-forts to clean up conditions at the Transfer Station yard in the coming days. Coun-cil asked Jochai to return before Council at a future date after making such ef-forts in order to negotiate a future contract with the Town of Superior and Orion Recycling. In other business the Council approved the Fire Department’s continuing evaluation of expanding the Town’s current Certificate of Necessity with Arizona Department of Health Ser-vices; tabled setting rental fees for the Magma Club as

of Feb. 2, 2012 and setting liability insurance require-ments for renters during future events. Council discussed at length the status of proper-ties on Main Street. The Lost Legends of Su-perior Trail letter which details events scheduled for Feb. 18, 2012 was dis-cussed. The letter asks for sponsors to make donations to the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition c/o the Town of Superior Attn: Mila Lira P.O. Box 218 Superior, AZ 85173. The BHP letter on project updates on the North-west Study Area Tailings Removal project was re-viewed. Several members of the public addressed the Coun-cil with their opinions and concerns including Freddie Miramon, Sonnie Sansom, Sue Anderson, and Billy Holmquist. Miramon spoke about the 2012 challenges facing the town of Superior and the Council. Noting the difficult decisions that must be made Miramon says it is very positive that the Council is coming together this year. Sonnie Sansom cited the need for code enforcement and spoke about all the cur-rent items on the Agenda. Sue Anderson of the Chamber of Commerce and Billy Holmquist thanked Council for having the Main Street Awareness on the Agenda. Anderson asked for participation by all residents, Town staff and Mayor and Council members in the upcoming Superior Home Tour and free events. The Home tour is scheduled for January 28 and 29. Mayor Jayme Valenzuela closed the meeting wish-ing attendees and residents a Happy New Year and noting that the Town was successful in securing an IGA with the Pinal County Animal Control Department to address the local Animal Control needs.

By Mila Lira On Feb. 14, 2012 Arizona will officially turn 100 years old. However Superior will be turning 130 years old since it was founded in 1882. There is no better way to celebrate both momentous occasions than to showcase some of the interesting and unique homes and buildings and sharing the great history of Superior and Copper Corridor region. To kick off these celebrations the Superior Chamber of Commerce will once again showcase several remodeled homes and buildings that make Superior unique during the 4th Annual Home and Building Tour Art and Antique Show on Jan. 28 and 29. If you have ever driven by some of these Superior homes and wondered what the inside looks like this event gives you a chance to take a peek. Each year the homes on the tour are carefully selected by the home tour committee to ensure that ticket holders will see homes that capture the Superior lifestyle.

Homes on the tour features one of a kind décor and architecture that you will not find in an average home. The creative touches that these homes feature will most definitely inspire your creativity. Tickets to view the homes and buildings on the tour are $8 pre sale and $10 day of the event. The ticket is good for both days of the event and will provide access to the six homes and two commercial buildings on the tour. Your tour will begin at the Copper Gecko at 203 West Main Street. The event will run from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Presale tickets can be purchased at the Copper Gecko, Rolling Rock Gallery or at the Chamber of Commerce Office located at the Caboose Visitor Center. Those purchasing tickets will receive a two for one admission ticket to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum as well as discount coupons and special offers from local merchants. If viewing the homes and

buildings of Superior is not in your plans there are still plenty of free activities to enjoy during the weekend. Art in the Park will be held at the Besich Park and will showcase many local and regional artists who will be showing and selling their art pieces. Returning to the event again this year is the Mata Ortiz potters. They will have pottery available for sale and will also have live pottery firing demonstrations. Regional authors and historians Jack San Felice and Sam Lowe will both be giving lectures about the history of Superior and the surrounding areas. This year the antique show will be held at the newly remodeled Magma Club. Superior native Michael Macias who is a classical pianist will be playing live at the Magma Club during the event. Jim Pipkin, Americana musician and singer, and Scott Schaeffer, didgeridoo musician, will also be playing live music at the Besich park and the antique show during both days of the home tour.

Public NoticePinal County

Public Hearing Regarding Use of CDBG Funds

Pinal County is expected to receive approximately $140,000 in FY 2012 federal CDBG funds from the Arizona Department of Housing Regional Account (RA). Pinal County also intends to apply for $300,000 in FY 2012 CDBG funds from the State Special Projects (SSP) account. CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need. A public hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012 at Pinal County Administration Building A Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, Florence, Arizona to gather citizen input on the use of the CDBG funds.Examples of possible uses include the following:

1) public infrastructure (e.g., water, wastewater, street improvements);2) community facilities (e.g., parks, health clinics, libraries, senior or youth centers);3) housing (e.g., owner-occupied or multi-family rehab, utility connections on private property, new housing constructed by a non-profit);4) public services (e.g., paying the salary of an additional staff person to expand a Head Start program, purchasing a van to transport persons with disabilities, equipment and rent to start a new job training program); and5) economic development (e.g., a loan to a business for job creation, micro-enterprise development, acquisition of land for an existing business expansion).

The four areas given to the group included:• Energy Conservation: New Homes, Commercial/Office/Industrial, LEED and other standards• Approval Process for Green Electricity Production• Water Conservation: New Homes and Commercial/Office/Industrial• Heat Island Mitigation through Reduced Parking Lot Sizes Each area included a list of recommendations for the Supervisors to potentially adopt grouped by “immediate” and “next step.” “While the committee was looking at recommendations that could be quickly implemented,” said committee facilitator Kent Taylor, “they also thought very hard about the steps that would be long term. They wanted these changes to last for years down the road.”

In the energy conservation portion of the report, the committee recommended an immediate measure of having new homes meet the Energy Star rating as well as having existing plats meet that standard as well. District 2 Vice Chairman Bryan Martyn was impressed with the group’s effort. As the Board moves forward with potential decisions related to sustainability, serious consideration will be given to the report’s recommendations. “Are we going to encourage or make them requirements for new construction?” Vice Chairman Martyn said. “People are going to want to know if there will be a reasonable return on investment. There will be some serious questions that will have to be brought up.” When the committee looked at immediate recommendations with regard to green electricity production, their focus turned to the county’s Comprehensive Plan. One recommendation is to allow green energy production applications to be submitted as a non-major Comprehensive Plan amendment. This would speed the permitting process. They also thought that the development of a Pinal County Renewable Energy Overlay Zone would allow energy production throughout an entire area. “Technology is changing so fast,” Taylor said. “We see solar and wind generation as green energy alternatives today. But what is it going to be in the future? Could we see algae power? Who knows what it is going to be?” In the desert southwest, water conservation is a topic on nearly everyone’s mind. Water is the key

commodity that must be present for development to occur and the county is keenly aware of the limitations of the groundwater supply. The committee had several recommendations to the Board regarding how best to implement water savings throughout the county. Water reclamation, water harvesting and use of gray water were included in the recommendations. Pinal County’s growth also could bring about a phenomenon called the “urban heat island effect.” According to the Environmental Protection Agency, an urban heat island is an area whose temperature is greater than surrounding rural areas. The committee thought that more vegetation in parking zones, along with cool coating the pavement and roofs in nearby buildings would help stop an urban heat island from forming. Following the presentation to the Supervisors, Chairman Pete Rios said he appreciates the work of the committee and hopes that many recommendations are implemented. “For a volunteer group, spending 16 months together gathering data and coming up with green ideas is not an easy task,” Chairman Rios said. “These ideas would have to come before the public in a hearing to get the ball rolling, but I think there are those who would like to see these ideas implemented while we still have time to have them become effective.” The members of the committee were: District 1 – Betty Peterson, Dr. Linda Leigh and J. Peter Armenta; District 2 – Fernanda Falbo, Dr. Liz Martin and Mike Schaffer; District 3 – Bill Collings, Gina D’Abella and Dr. Caroline Lobo.

By Mila Lira At press time Copper was being sold at $3.41 per pound, which has remained steady over the past few weeks. A recent check of the websites for local mining companies has revealed that there have not been many new developments, advancements or changes for our regional mines. On January 1, the clock began ticking faster and louder once again for the Resolution Copper Mining

project near Superior. The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange was passed in the US House of Representative in 2011 however the bill still needs approval in the Senate and will need to be signed by President Obama in 2012 if it is going to be approved in the second session of the 112th Congress. Congressman Gosar and Senators McCain and Kyl remain strong supporters of the bill. If the bill is not passed in the second

Mining Reportsession Resolution will be forced back to the drawing board to develop a new bill for the next Congress. Curis Resources continues to receive opposition for their in-situ copper recovery project near Florence. In December the Town of Florence Town Council adopted a resolution that expresses the Town’s opposition and concerns regarding the project. The resolution encourages Federal, State and County agencies to deny any and all permit applications for the Florence Copper Project. The State Land department issued a letter to the Town of Florence discouraging them from passing the resolution. Freeport McMorRan announced that they will pay a cash dividend of 25¢ to their shareholders on record as of January 13, 2012. The dividends will be payable on February 1, 2012.
