Wishing us all a healthy and prosperous year!

This letter is a follow up to Jerry Butler’s letter, who headed the “Vision Committee” last May. I attended the Vision meeting and the consensus of our table and the attendees was that Fountain Hills needs to raise real estate taxes to keep our town and school district running properly.

I feel Grady Miller and the Town dtaff is doing a great job on the limited funds they have available. When you compare our taxes with areas in Minnesota or Illinois, we are about a tenth of the amount! Let’s make some decisions to make our town solvent.

We need to start planning for Fountain Park (i.e. rubber liner, fountain motor, tank storage), continue to maintain and repair our streets and parks. As always, we want the best for Fountain Hills and believe this is the finest place to live – let’s work together to keep it that way.
