Fire District for upper third of San Tan Valley rejected on 4-1 vote by Pinal County Supervisors
By James J. Hodl | Ledger
Yet another attempt to create a municipal fire district within San Tan Valley was rejected on a 4-1 vote by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors during its May 6 meeting.
Although board members called the impact statement offered by the San Tan North Medical and Fire District (STNMFD) to be well researched and had a thoughtful plan for creating the firefighting service in the northern third of unincorporated San Tan Valley, they questioned the proposed start-up costs as being inadequate. As a result, only Supervisor Stephen Q. Miller voted to accept the statement.
STNMFD organizers can submit a revamped impact statement in six months, if they choose.
As proposed, the STNMFD would have covered an area of San Tan Valley bordered by Germann Road on the north, Schnepf Road and Sierra Vista on the east, Combs Road on the south, and Meridian Drive on the west.
