Hundreds of San Tan Valley residents showed up at the April 19th Town of Queen Creek Council Meeting, in opposition to two current annexation efforts by the Town to annex the inside of the “J-Curve”, at Hunt Hwy and Empire and San Tan Valley’s hospital, Banner Ironwood.
The meeting began with six council members heading into executive session. Vice Mayor Jeff Brown, who ran the meeting in Mayor Barney’s absence, stated the executive session involved discussions that didn’t affect anyone at the meeting, as neither the Banner or J-Curve annexations were to be discussed. The executive session was to discuss annexation of the LDS Church Farm, another San Tan Valley parcel.
While the Banner annexation public hearing was scheduled for 5:30pm, the public hearings didn’t start until 7pm. By the time 7pm rolled around, both rooms were packed with San Tan Valley residents, many filling out forms requesting to speak. Once the public hearing began, Vice Mayor Brown stated that he would not allow everyone to speak and that those interested in speaking should decide amongst themselves who will represent the body.
