A message from APNA President David Bachman-Williams:

Hello Armory Park neighbors and friends,

Our Annual Meeting  

November 12th  

6:30 to 8 PM

Safford School library

There will be three agenda items:

1. Elections for both the Armory Park Historic Zone Advisory Board and Armory Park Neighborhood Association. We have enough candidates for the APNA positions, we need more for the APHZAB board.

2. Captain Pettey from Operations Division West of TPD will be here to talk about the tragic death of Stacy Gallandt.  Captain Pettey was head of Traffic for a time. As such she can speak to how TPD and the city respond to traffic deaths. She will take questions, too.

3. Cristina Polsgrove, Management Coordinator for the City of Tucson’s Environmental and General Services, will be here to speak about recycling. She will speak to what goes in regular recycling, what goes in the orange bags, and what is not recyclable. We will have an orange bag for everyone to take home.

Please put this on your calendar!

Peace,

David BW

APNA General Meeting 4/11/23 @ 6:30 PM

Hi Armory Parkers,

The APNA board voted to have a general meeting in April.  There are items of general interest that we feel the neighborhood should hear about.  So please come to the Safford School faculty parking lot (corner of 4th Ave. and 13th St.)  The library is the big boxy building next to the parking lot.  Please enter by the north side door.  You have to walk to the far end of the chain link fence and then back along the side of the library to the door.

Topics of general interest:

     1. A representative of the City of Tucson Transportation and Mobility Department will be there to talk about the scheduling of residential street repaving.

     2. Council member Steve Kozachik’s top aide, Diana Amado, will be there to answer questions.

     3. A rewrite of the APNA bylaws will be presented for approval.

     4. Meet your current board and talk to them about what you would like to see done in our beautiful neighborhood.

     5. There will be opportunity to raise concerns about our neighborhood.

See you next Tuesday.
