MAIL BACK YOUR SPECIAL ELECTION BALLOT FOR PROP 412 BY WED. |
|
Wednesday, May 10, is the deadline for City of Tucson voters to mail back their special election ballots to the City Clerk's Office to ensure they are received and counted by the May 16 election date. There is one question on the ballot (Proposition 412). That question is about a new franchise agreement with Tucson Electric Power (TEP). The 25-year-agreement would include a renewal of the existing 2.25% franchise fee on monthly electric bills of TEP customers within the city, as well as a new 0.75% Community Resilience Fee. If the agreement is approved by voters, the extra revenue generated would be used to cover the cost of undergrounding infrastructure and to fund efforts that support the City's Climate Action Plan. The projected monthly impact to TEP customers within Tucson city limits would be approximately $0.93 per month for residential and $2.65 per month for small business customers.

MEG JOHNSON, NEWSLETTER EDITOR AND GDNA SECRETARY, RECEIVES CIVIC AWARD |
|
An article she would NEVER
write about herself:
Meg Johnson Receives Civic Award
by Lisa Maher, Treasurer, Garden District Neighborhood Association
As long-time readers of this newsletter might guess as they read further, Meg Johnson is not writing this article. She would never toot her own horn, which is part of the charm which made her a natural fit for the Ben’s Bells Founder’s Award given annually to a community member.
J. Maré Annual Ben’s Bells Founder’s Award Nominations
We are seeking nominations of individuals in the Tucson area who embody kindness through their behavior, choices, and actions, and through their service to the community. The recipient will be presented an award during a Celebration of Kindness.
These kind individuals understand that kindness is a powerful skill and ongoing practice that begins inwardly and extends to other individuals, groups, and entire communities. A Ben’s Bells Founder’s Award honoree will be someone who actively works for community equity and inclusiveness.
The Celebration of Kindness and presentation of the Founder’s Award took place the evening of May 6. Ms Johnson was fittingly chosen for this honor. A sizable number of Garden District residents and neighbors from other neighborhoods who have worked with her through countless projects over the years nominated her and were able to attend and toast our dear newsletter writer and editor.
Among the traits Ms Johnson exhibits to those who nominated her:
*the writing and publishing of this newsletter at least fifty times per year, for over a DECADE. This newsletter goes out to almost 1400, and informs all of GDNA, (most importantly) not only whether or not it is Recycling week, but also inspires all who read it to volunteer, to become involved, and to know and look out for their neighbors. It also inspires and supports other neighborhoods in following suit, which has radiated beyond simply Garden District as a force for communication, community, and motivation;
*co-chairing events which build community such as our bi-annual Plant Swaps and yard sales, annual holiday party, potlucks, and Porch Fests;
*sponsoring and publicizing such items as: feral cat clinics, bicycle repair events, neighborhood clean ups, bookmobile schedules, low income and food assistance programs, City Resource info, crime meetings, and whenever there is free ice cream at Dairy Queen!
|
|
*Writing or co-writing grants ranging from $5,000 to $500,000 for the neighborhood. She wrote the $500K grant for the sidewalks on both sides of Columbus from Grant to Speedway and co-authored the half million dollar grant for the Pima Pedestrian Pathway between Columbus and Alvernon, which took a DECADE and protects pedestrians and children walking and biking to school, partially mitigates storm flooding, and simply looks terrific;
*Actively seeking and getting funding for the gorgeous and colorful neighborhood identification signs you see that show pride in Garden District and advertise what a great neighborhood GDNA is;
*And ensuring that our community has access to the Wright playground during non-school hours so that there is a semblance of a public park for our kids, also liaising with Wright Elementary staff and the group which sponsored the lovely mural on that playground.
If our dear editor would allow it, the list of how she volunteers could continue and fill the entire newsletter, but we assume you would rather see a few photos!

|
Auditioning a Children's Mariachi band from White Elementary and Special Eats, a Grilled Cheese food truck for next year's Porch Fest. Both were excellent! |
|
|
Remarks that Ms Johnson made upon being awarded included:
“A personal mantra of mine is Margaret Mead’s famous quote:
‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world;
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.’
Ben’s Bells is changing the world. Through the ripple effects of intentional acts of kindness, Ben’s Bells is changing the world school by school, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city. I am proud to play a small part in spreading kindness in our Tucson community.”
We are sure you will agree that she is so very deserving of this award.

TRAFFIC WATCH - REPORTING UNSAFE DRIVING |
|
Use the QR code to access the Traffic Watch website.
In an effort to improve traffic safety on our roadways, the TPD Traffic Section has created a new program called Traffic Watch. It will streamline the process for the community to report dangerous driving behavior. Now, anyone can easily and quickly report dangerous, reckless, or any driving behavior that is putting our community at risk.
Traffic Watch went live on Wednesday March 29th, 2023 and allows community members to report illegal driving behaviors they observe occurring daily on our streets, without having to use the 911 system. However, the option of calling 9-1-1 is still available when an immediate response is needed (i.e., impaired driver).
A TPD motor officer will review each report and decide the most appropriate option: a citation, an arrest, or an educational courtesy letter. Community members should be reminded that using their cellphones while driving is dangerous and a violation of traffic laws. The program is not to be used to take retribution against someone else. The goal of the program is to make our roads safer by using this community-based approach. Follow the link below for more information.

WHERE TO FIND HELP IN PIMA COUNTY |
|
Thank you North Dodge Neighborhood for this info.
|
|
'TIS THE SEASON FOR UNRULY, LOUD PARTIES |
|
As high school and college graduations approach, it is important to know that noise disturbances can be reported at ANY time of day. Oftentimes, residents think they can only call 911 to report a noise disturbance after 10 pm. This is not true. It is, however, a low priority call and you should expect that it may take police some time to respond, but they will respond.
HELP END DANGEROUS ILLEGAL GATHERINGS
REPORT any time of day, any number of people, if unruly.
1) Loud party calls should go to 911.
2) Additionally, if student-related, contact the UA Neighborhood Hotline to report concerns at 520-282-3649.
Thank you to our friends in Jefferson Park Neighborhood for this helpful flowchart.

More than 20% of single-family households in Tucson have a swimming pool. A typical pool uses just under 30,000 gallons of water per year and represents significant costs to operate and maintain.

Water utilities Tucson Water, Metro Water, Oro Valley Water, and Marana Water have collaborated to create this hyper-local poolremovalhelp.org website with these tabs:
-
Savings Estimator: Enter your pool and property info into the online tool for a customized estimate of annual savings of water, energy, maintenance, chemicals, and more.
-
Benefits of Removing a Pool: Removing an unwanted pool offers seven ways of saving, plus conserving water and energy.

-

HOME REPAIR FOR THOSE IN NEED, ESPECIALLY SENIORS LIVING ALONE |
|
From Ward VI May 1 Newsletter:
CHRPA
With the heat about to smack us, I want to remind you of the great work being done by CHRPA – Community Home Repair Projects of Arizona. Find them at http://www.chrpaz.org/
The ward 6 office has offered up several thousands of dollars to CHRPA’s work, specifying that we’d prefer their assistance go to seniors living alone in ward 6. In our more recent donation to them we simply said to help those most in need.
CHRPA does home repairs and remodels, safety features like the grab bars you see in the photo, and they help make homes accessible for people with disabilities. If you know of someone who could use some help before we get into the 100-degree temps, please reach out to Scott and his CHRPA team to see if they can be of assistance.

Pima Animal Care Center and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona are asking for the community to help save young kittens during what shelter staff call “kitten season.”The season begins in the spring as the weather begins to warm up, initiating cat breeding. During this time, thousands of kittens will be born across Pima County, and many of them will end up in shelters after being removed from their mothers.
“Our greatest need right now is fosters for neonatal kittens,” said Monica Dangler, PACC’s Director of Animal Services. “Kittens will not survive if they are left in a kennel overnight; we must have fosters on-deck to take litters as they come in.”
On April 23 alone, 33 neonatal kittens came into PACC needing round-the-clock bottle feeding.
“Fostering isn’t as hard as you may think, and those adorable kittens give you so much in return. All it takes is love, commitment, and a willingness to learn a few skills,” said Steve Farley, the Humane Society of Southern Arizona’s CEO. “Both shelters’ foster staff are happy to train new fosters and can provide all the resources needed to help with any potential issues.”
There are a number of ways to help:
-
DON’T ‘CATNAP’ KITTENS: Well-meaning folks often accidentally remove kittens from nursing mothers, placing them at risk. Don’t panic when you see kittens alone; their mother is likely nearby. This graphic explains when a kitten should be brought to the shelter.
-
FOSTER: Shelters have an immediate need for fosters who can be on-call as litters of neonatal kittens come into the shelter. Interested folks can sign up here to foster for PACC.
-
DONATE: The neonatal kittens have a variety of needs that are very different from in-shelter pets. Kittens need warmers, milk replacement, non-clumping litter and more. PACC’s official nonprofit partner, Friends of Pima Animal Care Center, helps maintain an Amazon Wishlist, which the public can use to purchase supplies and have them shipped to PACC. The Humane Society of Southern Arizona features several ways to donate on their website.
-
SPAY/NEUTER: One of the best things cat lovers can do for cats this kitten season is get them fixed to prevent future litters from being born outside. Cats can become pregnant at just four months old, making it imperative that cats are spayed or neutered early. If there are neighborhood pets that need to be spayed or neutered, PACC and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona can assist with catching and altering cats through their Community Cats TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) programs.
- ADOPT: As kittens reach adoption age (8 weeks old), they will need homes! For families looking to add a feline friend to their home, it is a great time of year to adopt. There are currently more than 560 pets at PACC in need of homes, along with nearly 1,200 in foster care in need of adoptive homes.
Pima Animal Care Center is located at 4000 North Silverbell Rd. PACC is open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from noon to 7 p.m., on Wednesday, 1:30 – 7 p.m., and on weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To see all available pets and services, go to pima.gov/animalcare.
The Humane Society of Southern Arizona is located at 635 West Roger Road. The shelter is open Monday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. To see all available HSSA pets and services, go to hssaz.org.
