April was a busy month. In May, we are
expecting further budget discussions
among town council, staff and the community. It is possible that the Council
adopts the Tentative FY 15-16 budget in
May. The Tentative budget sets the expenditure limit. The State determines DH
expenditure limitation as approximately $4
million. Historically, the Town’s actual
operational expenditure has been around
$2 million. As many of you know, the
town’s fiscal year stars July 1 each year.
All Council budget discussions are public
meetings and will be posted accordingly.
You are welcome to attend.
In May, the Council is also expected
to recognize all nominations for the Volunteer of the Year (2014) and select the Volunteer of the Year for the DH community.
Town wants to thank those who have
kindly made a nomination (or two).
Please stayed tuned for the selection.
Late May, the Town is scheduled to
chip seal some town owned paved roads.
As you know the Town implemented a 6year paved road maintenance plan in
2012. Each year the town follows the
schedule and maintains about 6.5 miles of
paved roads by either fog coating them or
chip sealing. It costs over $200,000 a
year and is part of the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) expenditures. The fog
-coating and chip-sealing work is generally done by qualified contractors. This
year, Henderson Rd., Yavapai Dr., Foothill Dr., Green Valley Rd. and Holiday Dr.
are on the schedule to be re-chipped.
Please be aware of the construction crew
when you are out during the work. Town
staff maintains the total of 50 miles of
town roads year around including 39 miles
paved roads and 11 miles of dirt roads. If
you have questions your roads, please
call the Town’s Public Works Department
at 632-7362.
In April, some of you attended the
clean-up days at Mayer Transfer station.
If you did not make the April dates, on
Saturday May 2, the Town is partnering
with Prescott Valley for a clean-up event.
