i would like to see the budget increased for PHXPD. We need to have funding & a more positive council dialog & appreciation for PD. Funding needs to be there for technology, i.e. drones, cameras & shot spotters. It is so important that we not loose our CAO ,NET & bike squads.They are an integral & positive force in our neighborhoods.Our parks need more rangers to help maintain safety in our parks to enforce of the code of conduct. show that you are pro police and public safety in our community
I am in support of the budget. If there are any monies remaining we need to add to our police TRANSIT TEAM, CAO's and NET SQUAD. These teams work very well together and all three are super important in solving criminal behavior and keeping our neighborhoods safe. Great job on the budget
If we are always negative about our Police, why would any recruit be interested?
We need to invest additional surplus money into our Police. Without more investment, we are jeopardizing our public safety.
I support the Park and Recreation’s request for additional Park Rangers. We don’t have enough Park Rangers to service the Code of Conduct. Please also consider additional Park Ranger funding for our neighborhood parks. Thank you
More $$$ needs to be allocated towards public Safety. We're so short Police &staff were not safe. Our children aren't safe. We need more K9s drug enforcement. Seniors & domestic violence crime victims need housing. Spend money building mental Hospitals. Sentence addicts to Narcotics Anonymous for 5 years or put them all in jail. Force communication with Plea, PPSLA for all council or they are fired. No exceptions. Criminals pedophiles hate police. Remove council who supports criminals 7,8,5, 4
Please finish Desert Foothills Park, including 8 Pickleball courts and a paved parking lot would greatly enhance the community! Over 1,000 new homes are planned just a couple of miles east of the Park and our community needs more recreational outlets. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, now even being taught in our elementary/ Jr. High/ High Schools....these children will need a convenient, easy access place to play Pickleball rather than sitting at home on their electronics.
As a long standing Realtor in the Ahwatukee community, clients are always searching for the best schools, parks and recreational activities. Desert Foothills Park was never completed and dedicated Pickleball courts and additional parking would be a wonderful addition for Ahwatukee residents and future residents.
I support adding pickleball courts at the Desert Foothill Park. The courts at Pecos park are already fully occupied at prime times and Desert Foothills park would be the perfect spot to expand Pickleball in Phoenix. With 1050 new homes being built on the recently sold 373 acre State Trust land just to the west of Desert Foothills Park there will be a much greater need for Pickleball courts and the tax revenue to support these projects.
Thank you.
I am a 25 year Ahwatukee resident and Desert Foothills Park has never been finished. The area planned as a Community Center is used for illegal dumping. There is a great movement to build pickleball courts which I fully support as I work during the day to pay my taxes, and can only play at Pecos after 5:30 PM & weekends. I often have to wait over 30 min betw. games. Why is the funding collected from taxes & impact fees in this area for the past 25 years not being used to finish this park?
As a life-long advocate for youth sports & fitness, we are asking you to please allocate budget to add dedicated Pickleball courts to Desert Foothills Park & refurbish the current courts. Currently, Steve Manolis is leading an effort to donate refurbished paddles to the Boys and Girls Clubs in Phoenix and we have proposed to councilmembers to offer Free clinics to help increase access to pickleball as a safe and healthy recreational low cost activity for anyone to enjoy. Thank you.
I am fully in support of adding PICKLEBALL COURTS AT DESERT FOOTHILLS PARK. I am asking the city to consider funding to add at least 8 Pickleball courts and add an additional parking lot. This park has never been finished. I am asking that our current tennis courts be refinished and lined for picklball (dual purpose). Lighting is very bad and needs to be updated. With this I (and MANY others here) would not have to drive to further courts thereby saving the environment and fuel.
I am writing in on behalf of over 800 supporters for the PICKLEBALL AT DESERT FOOTHILLS PARK project. We are asking the city to consider allocating funds to add at least 8 dedicated Pickleball courts and a parking lot. In the interim we are asking that our current two tennis courts are refinished and lined for dual purpose as these courts are underutilized and in bad shape. We would love to be able to walk/ride to our local park to play pickleball rather than driving to Pecos- go green.
