Be the Voice of Surprise
Welcome Surprise Independent Readers and thank you for your story on Aug. 11, Richard Smith. We are being noticed, and now there's a delay by the builder with their application to the City. Stay tuned to stay ready to be at City Hall in person when it's back on. Watch for the Planning & Zoning Commission meetings  - details here for FS20-829 Truman Ranch to provide a recommendation to the City Council - SIGN UP TO SPEAK AT THE MEETING HERE (Find the purple button part-way down that reads "PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION COMMENT FORM") Showing up at city meetings and district meet & greets, writing to city leaders, sharing this with neighbors, and getting signatures on the corner (we're waiting for some summer heat to fade before resuming LOL) has been working! Keep it up.

We already know this location for "affordable housing" makes ZERO sense and Dominium has no well-established communities of this type in Arizona—so they really don’t know Arizona nor the impact!!!

Sadly, attending the 6:30 pm Tues. 6/29 meeting at Sunset Hills will drive no action by our City Council—they will not act until their positions are imperiled by a larger group of citizens across the City.

Starting Tuesday, July 6th we are meeting on Zoom every Tuesday at 9 pm (so we can give our kids the evenings they deserve) until at least the August City Council meeting.

Meeting links will be posted here at voiceofsurprise.com
