Government exists to enhance quality of life. We choose to live in certain municipalities and neighborhoods based on our perceptions of how our lives would be impacted by liv-ing there. Public policy decisions by government drive our perceptions of our towns and neigh-borhoods. So, how is Youngtown doing; what is its state or condition and how is it impacting our lives?

Youngtown’s premier asset is its location. Halfway between the 101 and 303 freeways and nestled between Grand Avenue on the north and Olive Avenue on the south, Youngtown provides easy access to world-class amenities in downtown Phoenix

and surrounding communities without sacrificing its easy “small-town” ambi-ance.

After a hard day at work or play, we come home to a very safe community, thanks to excellent law enforcement by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and quick responses to fire and medical emergencies by the Sun City Fire and Medical Depart-ment (SCFMD).

Our relationship with newly elected Sheriff Paul Penzone and the command officers of District 3 assures us that MCSO service levels will continue to be excellent. A new, state-of-the-art fire station, scheduled to be built later this year in Youngtown, will assure continued excellent response times to fire and medical emergen-cies.

Thanks to a roll-

ing five-year main-tenance program, developed by our public works depart-ment, the streets, roads and alleys in Youngtown are in excellent condition. Recent improve-ments, like the Peo-ria Avenue straight-ening at the north entrance to Agua Fria Ranch, continue to enhance mobility and safety. Addi-tional street lights to be erected, later this year, along the Agua Fria Parkway and in neighborhoods in the older sections of Youngtown, will enhance security and safety in our neigh-borhoods. Young-town’s involvement in projects, like im-proving Grand Ave-nue and the construc-tion of the Northern Parkway, help assure enhanced regional transportation.

A well-run library and several parks, along with the new bike/ped path recent-

ly constructed on the south side of Peoria Avenue, offer resi-dents lots of oppor-tunity for recreation. Projected construc-tion of some 80,000 linear feet of side-walks in the older neighborhoods of Youngtown, over the next couple of years, will encourage resi-dents to safely inter-act with each other in their neighbor-hoods, while enhanc-ing the perception of Youngtown as a truly walkable com-munity. Several new recreational proj-ects, already in the works, are designed to further enhance recreational assets and opportunities.

We continue to cultivate a fertile commercial en-vironment with programs, like our commercial façade improvement grant program, which is gaining momentum and showing some very positive results

throughout the town. Our commercial real estate vacancy rate is low, with several new businesses hav-ing recently located in Youngtown, and we continue to work with commercial prospects looking to make Youngtown their home. Our streamlined govern-mental processes make us one of the easiest municipalities to work with.

Youngtown is fi-nancially stable, with a strong rainy-day fund, no debt and fis-cal policies designed to weather any storm, and our tax burden on residents is among the lightest in the Valley.

So, what is the state or condition of your town? It’s pretty darned good - fiscally stable, while constantly looking for ways to further enhance quality of life.

Life is good in Youngtown!

In the Works........Annual street maintenance on the calendar

MARTYMOSBRUCKER

PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER

Annual Street Maintenance:

In the very near fu-ture, we will perform street asphalt resur-facing in Town. The areas receiving asphalt resurfacing are as fol-lows: the alleys from Grand Avenue, south to Alabama Avenue will be crack sealed and seal coated. The streets from Grand Av-enue south to Alabama Avenue will be crack sealed. The streets in the Agua Fria section of Town will be crack sealed. Peoria Avenue will be crack sealed and seal coated. Re-striping of these streets will be to the existing pattern. The incon-venience is greatly worth the end result as asphalt resurfacing will extend the life of the streets, negating the need for extensive and often cost prohibi-tive milling/overlay or removal/replacement.

Lo que estamos trabajando ahora

alrededor de la Ciudad

Mayo 2016La primavera está

aquí y en plena flo-ración! Disfrutar del clima en este momen-to, ya que pronto será demasiado caliente para estar fuera. Una cosa que podemos definitivamente con-tar en el desierto de Sonora es el calor del verano.¿Cree que va a ser un verano caliente? Definitiva-mente!

Prevención de la Contaminación del

Aguas Pluviales: La ciudad cuenta

con varias bocas de tormenta que dre-nan el agua de lluvia en el río Agua Fría. Con el fin de evitar la contaminación de los ríos aguas abajo, la ciudad ha puesto en marcha un programa de manejo de aguas pluviales. Los resi-

dentes tienen que ser conscientes de que es ilegal arrojar con-taminantes desagüe de aguas pluviales. Un con taminan te es cualquier sólido, líquido, gas u otra sustancia que pueda alterar las propie-dades físicas o quími-cas del agua, incluy-endo, pero no lim-itado a fertilizantes, disolventes, lodos, petróleo y sus deriva-dos, residuos sólidos, basura, materiales bi-ológicos, materiales radioactivos, arena, suciedad, residuos animales, ácidos y bases. Las sanciones civiles y penales pu-eden ser evaluados a cualquier persona que intencionalmente o por negligencia viole las leyes y reglamen-tos relativos a la tor-menta de drenaje de agua. Nuestro obje-tivo es permitir que sólo el agua de lluvia fluya por el desagüe de aguas pluviales.

escorrentía de aguas pluviales recogerá contaminantes y el flujo de estos con-taminantes en los de-sagües pluviales. Los residentes y Las Em-presas pueden ayudar a prevenir la contami-nación de escorrentía de aguas pluviales mediante el uso de fertilizantes con mod-eración y barriendo las aceras y patios. No tire basura en colector de aguas pluviales. Veg-etar espacios vacíos en su patio. Compo-star sus desechos de jardín. Sigue la in-formación de las eti-queta del pesticide. Llevar su automóvil para el lavador de au-tos en vez de lavar en la calzada. Compruebe su automóvil que no tiene fugas y reciclar su aceite de motor. Recoger los desechos de su mascota. Re-cuerde, sólo el agua de lluvia se permiten las alcantarillas. Más información está dis-

ponible en la biblio-teca y en la oficina principal de la ciudad. para aprender más sobre cómo prevenir la contaminación de aguas pluviales.

M a n t e n i m i e n t o Anual de la Calle En un futuro muy cer-cano, vamos a volver a allanar las calles con asfalto en Ciu-dad. Vamos a poner avisos en su casa y en sus automóvil que están aparcados en la calle cuando se será repavimentación. Las áreas que reciben el rejuvenecimiento de asfalto son los calle-jones de Alabama Ave y todo el camino al sur a Peoria Ave. Las calles en la es-quina suroeste de la ciudad, justo al norte de Peoria Ave., Agua Fría Ranch Parkway y David C. Uribe es-tacionamiento. Si por lo general aparcar su automovil en la calle por favor no aparcar allí el día de la repavi-

mentación asfáltica. Es importante seguir las instrucciones que aparecen en las cartas de notificación. No manejas alrededor de las barricadas. Por favor, lea las instruc-ciones de aviso muy atentamente y cumplir con las instrucciones. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta, hay número de teléfono al fondo de la aviso. El incon-veniente es la pena el resultado final. Se extenderá la vida de las calles, mantener los costos bajos para la extensa fresado / recubrimiento o de retirada y sustitución. Valor estético es un beneficio adicional como el pavimento recibe una nueva su-perficie de desgaste del color y la tex-tura uniforme, au-mentando los valores de propiedad.

¡Sigue sonriendo! Hasta la próxima vez espero verle alrededor la ciudad.

DOGGIE TIDBITS“WHAT NOSE AROUND COMES AROUND”

A larger portion of a dog’s brain is dedicated to scent discrimination than is a human’s. That means that dogs can tell whether a human is nervous and fearful or relaxed just by his odor. They also have a keen memory for odors, and once a dog has met someone, especially if that person had an impact on him in any way, he will remember their scent forever.

Susan Hout, our Event Chair, printed out survey forms to find out what amenities our friends would like to see at the Dog Park.

We received many responses and the committee was pleased with the feedback we received. Please watch for future additions to the Dog Park, based on your feedback. Thank you again for taking the time to fill them out. You will soon see two more tables added to the park, with pavers underneath, and some shade coverings will be installed.

Regular maintenance and treatment for all Town parks is ongoing through our Public Works Depart-ment. Recent weed treatment and aeration have been done to promote the growth of the grass.

Please continue to donate at the following busi-nesses that are assisting the committee in purchas-

Clubhouse Square – Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Checks must be written out to the Town of Young-town with the memo section filled out for Citizens’ Dog Park.

During the next few months, you and your four-legged friends will continue to see improvements to the park. This is why we need you to attend our meetings and give us your ideas, comments and suggestions.

Most dog owners are gracious enough to pick up after their dogs, but some are leaving their treasures behind. Let us continue to work together to keep the park clean and provide a safe environment for others.

The next Dog Park Committee meeting will be May 20th, at 9:30 a.m. at the United Method-ist Church at the corner of Alabama and 113th Avenues. For further information, please contact Margaret Chittenden at 623-974-9756.
