Community & Resident Issues

Can the illegal juvenile ATV/dirt bike activity up and down Newburn Rd. be stopped? It is not a racetrack. The police are aware of the problem. Also on the “open space” along the rim trail below the library and the police station!
Thank you for your question. This is a continual problem that the city has faced for many years. The problem is being in the right place at the right time. As you can imagine that other crimes, such as crimes that involve a victim take precedence, so if an officer isn’t right there when a neighbor calls the ATV in, it heads straight out into the desert. We will continue to patrol that area and even increase when possible.

Red Mesa Rim Trail is supposed to be open at dawn. In 2024 there were 7 holidays that the gate was never unlocked. Any chance that we could improve the situation in 2024?
We will see if we can make an effort to improve on this. Please keep in mind that the staff of the city is on a holiday, and we will need to find someone who is willing to volunteer to get out of bed before dawn. We won’t guarantee but let us see what we can do.

Will we be getting a New public Pool and Splash Pad? Where will it be?
We are thrilled to share that the city has officially begun the planning process for a new swimming pool. After months of discussions, community engagement, and careful budgeting, the city has voted to confirm a funding source that will not only support the construction of this much-anticipated facility but also ensure its ongoing maintenance. A new swimming pool will provide a safe and enjoyable space for families, children, and individuals to gather and engage in healthy recreational activities. I cannot emphasize enough how vital this project is to our community’s well-being, and I look forward to seeing its positive impact in the years to come. The swimming pool is planned for the property directly behind the PERA Club on Haul Road.
In addition to the swimming pool, we have exciting news about other recreational projects that are set to begin in the new year and will bring joy and activity to our residents. We are eagerly anticipating the groundbreaking of a new splash pad this spring, designed to be a fun-filled park facility for our children during the warmer months. The splash pad will serve as a gathering place where families can create lasting memories, and I encourage everyone to get involved in the upcoming celebrations surrounding its opening. The splash-pad is planned for the Sports Facility on Haul Road.
City Council & Meetings

I have been streaming the city council meetings live for some time. I notice when the council goes into executive session the recorded meeting ends there and when the council reconvenes the recording does not continue. How is the remainder of the meeting accessible?
Normally once the City Council goes into Executive Session the staff member who mans the cameras for the meeting leaves, because there is no guarantee when the Council might return to the open meeting. The only way you can review what the last few minutes of the meeting is to review the audio that is available on the Agenda section of the city website. That audio is normally available one to two days after the meeting, attached is the city site for you to review.

When are they going to start building the pool?
There have been several questions concerning the Page Aquatic Center. The City Council approved a new funding source specifically for the Aquatic Center. The city didn’t start collecting that new bed hotel/motel tax until September of 2024, which means we actually received our first payment from the State of Arizona in November. The City Council agreed that once the revenue started to be collected, the Aquatic Center committee could begin their planning. Being realistic, considering architecture, engineering, and then the bid process we should be able to break ground for the project the fall of 2025. Also, there is no new plans for a parking lot and the pool is proceeding exactly on the timeline that was expected.

What is the building project near the police station on Osprey? The sign mentions something about housing.
You will soon be hearing more about this in the coming weeks and thanks for noticing. That is the new City of Page long term treatment center. This is a project that the city has been working on for 4 years, so this is very exciting for all residents of Page. We are hoping that it will be completed by Jun 30, 2025 and CBI/Encompass will be the provider for the facility.
