APNA Annual Meeting November 22, 2022
APNA will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, November 22, at 6:30 PM. This meeting will include the elections of officers for next year and topics of interest to the community. Join it on Zoom.
NOTE: Normally, APNA meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month. The APNA board voted to move the APNA annual meeting to November 22. The Board felt that holding the meeting on Election night as normally scheduled would be problematic and reduce turnout. Keeping with Tuesdays the Board decided on the fourth Tuesday.

The City has a new on-line permitting process for people planning to make changes to their property. As part of this process, there have been some minor modifications to the Historic process.
· The Historic application has been combined with the Special Districts application. The link provides the process that any new applicants will need to follow.
· Prior to submitting the required documents, applicants will need to register with the Tucson Development Center On-line. Once registered, the applicant can submit for their permit.
· When it is determined that the applicant is in an HPZ/HL and needs to submit Historic, they will be prompted. Applicants will be able to track the progress of the application in the Tucson Development Center On-line (TDC).
If you have any questions, please contact Jodie Brown, AICP, City of Tucson Historic Preservation Officer, at 520-837-6968 or jodie.brown@tucsonaz.gov .

A message from our President:
Hi Armory Parkers,
What a great neighborhood we live in. Currently we have the highest membership in the neighborhood Association we have had in many years. Thanks to everyone who is a member at this time.
However, if you are not a member now is the time to join. Friday is the last day to join and be able to vote for leadership positions. It is very easy. It costs just $10 a person and takes five minutes or less.
Go to: https://armoryparktucson.org/membership/
Our Annual Meeting is scheduled for November. We need leaders to step up and serve as officers and directors. More from the nominating committee on that will be coming soon.
For now, make sure you are a member so you can vote in the Annual Meeting.
Thank you,
David Bachman-Williams
