Council Member Bill Garner has informed me that the Golder Ranch Fire District is offering a reimbursement for any currently annexed parcel in Oro Valley.
There are a couple of caveats to this program.
1) A reimbursement application must be submitted to GRFD prior to Oct 31, 2008.
2) Reimbursement is only applicable to those properties that have either a monitored fire alarm system with evacuation plan and/or a sprinkler system.
3) Vacant parcels must be free of combustible materials.
Please log on to the GRFD web site for more details. Click on "reimbursements."

Is God Advocating A "Yes" Vote On The Naranja Park Bond???
Bob Oro writes a column in the NW section of the Az Star. Below his column, it states; "Bob Oro is a husband, parent, dentist, and children's advocate in Oro Valley."
Too bad Bob Oro is not an advocate for the senior citizens on fixed income or the families struggling to make ends meet. If that were the case, perhaps he wouldn't be so quick to ask
"What lessons does God have in store in this journey for the community?"
The good dentist was so enthralled with the 100 or so folks, including mostly children that marched in support of the Naranja Bond issue, that he attempts to pull at the heartstrings of his readers with the comment:
"Their little 4 to 8-year old legs were starting to tire."
If that wasn't bad enough, he suggested that Susan Zibrat & Nancy Martin, leaders of the "yes" group "should be cloned."
I don't know Ms. Zibrat but I do know Nancy, and certainly acknowledge she is a good, well intentioned lady, but to "be cloned" might be a slight exaggeration.
Bob Oro can espouse his views on this or any other subject. By the same token, I believe God may be looking out for those that realize this $48.6 million expenditure for ALL Oro Valley residents, to satisfy a few, is the wrong thing, at the wrong time.
Hopefully, enough voters will agree with me. We'll know in 19 days.
If you haven't yet voted by write-in ballot, please VOTE "NO" On The Naranja Bond Issue.
