During Item B I should have also mentioned the Arizona Public Budget Briefing. I attended the Budget Brief this past Wednesday and found it very informative. For those interested in the specifics of the presentation, you can download the slides here. The Herald/Review also published an article on it that I think covered some of the highlights pretty well. The article covered an important point raised by Michael Boardman, President of the Huachuca 50. We need to see specific funding from the State to support our military installation communities. I was grateful to hear Mr. Boardman specifically ask about the State Military Affairs Commission and the Military Installation Fund. Both of which, you may remember, I discussed in my City Summit blog post last year. I made sure to speak up in support of the points brought up by Mr. Boardman and emphasize that even though Fort Huachuca isn't facing an immediate threat of BRAC, we are at risk of mission poaching, and mentioned us dealing with such this past year. Bill Greeney, the assistant director in the Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting, then gave us his assurance that this issue would make it back to the Governor's Office. Between the meeting here and our meeting in December with our House Representatives, I am hopeful that military communities will be better addressed in the AZ budget and by the State Legislature. Moving forward, I am now a member of the Military Communities Council, a nationwide board that addresses military communities, and will help bring our concerns to the federal level as well as better equip Sierra Vista for our dealings at the state level. I will be attending my first meeting as a member, next month. As always, please contact me at Carolyn.Umphrey@SierraVistaAZ.gov with any comments or questions. I love hearing from you!
Your council member,
