Questions & Answers:

Is it true that the City approved the new apartments on North Navajo?

Thank you for your question. The City Council has not approved the development of the multi-unit apartment building in Block 17. The proposed project that borders North Navajo is only in the infant stages of development. The City Council did give staff directive to do a parking study to see if the proposal was even viable.

Are individuals who aren't residents of Page allowed to sit on CoP advisory boards?

This is a great question. Historically the City Council has been very supportive of people volunteering on city boards that live in the neighboring areas. There are two boards that they have required residency in the past and those are the Planning and Zoning Board,  and they have expected members on the PUE Board to live within the service area to be considered for that board. The city does encourage all who are interested in volunteering on other boards to please contact the City Clerk’s Office.

What is the current status of talks with Habitat for Humanity?

Thank you for this question. The city has had several conversations with Habitat for Humanity over the last few months on the different services and options that they can provide to Page. It was decided by both the city and Habitat for Humanity to wait for the new City Council to be seated before any decisions were made concerning the direction that would be taken on this issue. The residents can assume to see this topic once again in the new year.

In the Past the City of Page was the developer of the original 2–3-acre Ranchettes subdivision Hopi Subdivision and Paria Canyon estates subdivision. Why doesn't the city build a housing subdivision of just the Lot's now?

Thank you for an interesting question. I don’t know that you will ever see the city commit to projects of this size again, mainly because of the large expense. The City Council did budget this year $2 million to expand infrastructure inside of Page. Currently there is a bid out right now asking for road expansion in the Ranchettes area. The city has taken the stance that they will provide the wet utilities, black top, lighting, the sidewalks and curb and gutter. This infrastructure will be the cities for eternity, so it makes sense.  

I know the city can't use Horseshoe Bend revenues for projects unrelated to Horseshoe Bend. However has the city tried to get creative? Like place a public safety surcharge on each parking space sold? Or place a substantial (50-100%) sales tax on parking fees that would technically apply to anywhere in the city that has paid parking (currently only Horseshoe Bend).

Although Horseshoe Bend revenue can’t be used specifically to fund the General Fund, which is what pays all of the bills for the city, we can charge Horseshoe Bend for what is call an Allocated Cost. In a nutshell, if Finance spends 20% of their time working on HSB we can charge for that, if Public Works spends 40% of their time helping HSB the city can then charge that 40% to HSB. So, in a very roundabout way Horseshoe Bend does support the facilities in our community.

Could you post information regarding the letter that recently went out to some Page residents about the EPA requirement for communities to identify and inventory water service lines? The link to the EPA website is rather confusing. Short and sweet what will be expected from residents?

Thank you for the questions. City staff was not informed of the letter or the contents. It would be best for the residents to contact PUE directly for their explanation.

I live in Big Water Utah but my girls go to high school in Page. Both of my daughters have special needs. Being that I am geographically disadvantaged in Utah we can't get services for my girls. And since we don't live in Arizona I can't get my daughters into Helping Hands. I have thought about sending one of them to live in one of the Helping Hands' group home but can't even start on that until she is enrolled in DDD and that can't happen unless she lives in Arizona. Is there anything that can be done short of me moving to Arizona?

As much as the city appreciates your situation, Helping Hands is a State of Arizona agency, not City of Page.

Has the city government considered the old empty Bashas' building for indoor recreation?

Thank you for this question. The city has not discussed that facility for indoor rec. We did discuss using that for another purpose though, and the current owners weren’t interested in selling the property, only leasing. It was the decision at that time that it made very little sense to invest the taxpayers money into a building that the city didn’t own.
