In this letter I would like to provide the constituents of District One a brief description of some of the activities and issues that I participated in the first quarter of 2015.
Starting on Jan. 4, I was at the dedication of the Oracle Sail Cart, a great addition to the community. The following day I accepted and attended the Governor Ducey’s Inauguration Invitation at the State Capitol. The following Monday I was at the capitol again networking at the invitation of the state legislature and also attended the Governor’s State of the State Address. Two days later I attended a dinner by invitation only with Canada’s Consulate/ Ambassador to the US. They are hoping to develop an economic mining project in Florence, AZ.
As a member of the National Association of Counties, I attended a conference on Health, Justice and Public Safety. At the local level I had January meetings with constituents on a flood design concept overview; Oracle Little league; Oracle Dark Skies Committee; protecting Coke Ovens by Riverside, Az.; Attended Central Az. Association of Governments Meeting; and participated in Legislative Policy Committee meetings every Friday analyzing legislative bills.
In February, I participated in meetings with Southern Pinal County Regional Corridor Study; San Manuel Project; Sun Corridor Municipal Planning Organization; Copper Corridor Broadband Project; Senator Farley on I-10 dust control; Gov. Ducey’s policy advisor; Waste Management on Landfill Voucher Program; US Congressman Ruben Gallego; Sheila McGinnis U of A Community relations; Addressed the Eloy Rotary Club; and Interviewed with National TV-Cable Network on issues of mining and Resolution Copper. This in addition to constituent meetings and meetings with County Supervisors Association and Legislative Policy Committee.
In March, I worked with constituent on San Manuel Clean-Up; attended San Manuel High School Career Day Fair, sponsored by League of Women Voters; attended meeting with others at Oak Flat Mine site in Superior; attended a luncheon by invitation only with US Senator John McCain and British owner of Resolution Copper; participated in Kearny’s Pioneer Day Parade; addressed Leadership Institute participants at CAC Aravaipa Campus; plus other constituent meetings and LPC and CSA meetings.
Sneaking into April, a little bit participated in Oracle’s Oak Festival Festivities; had meetings on San Manuel Airport; worked with San Manuel Senior Citizens on their parking lot; met with Feds on lead and arsenic poisoning; plus many other meetings. I just wanted to provide a brief report on some of my activities and I plan to continue doing this from time to time.
Sincerely,
Pete Rios
Vice-Chairman
