Members of the 2020 SaddleBrooke Public Affairs Commission

The SaddleBrooke Public Affairs Commission was created by the SaddleBrooke One Board of Directors and is charged with establishing relationships with community and government leaders in surrounding areas. Its mission is to identify risks and opportunities and communicate what it finds in a timely manner. Simply put, the Commission’s mantra is “No Surprises.” The Commission is comprised of members from both SaddleBrooke One and SaddleBrooke Two.

Each year, the Public Affairs Commission identifies areas of interest that it would like to explore. Last year the Commission had a busy agenda, meeting with representatives of Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, councilmembers from the Town of Oro Valley, planners and administrators of the Town of Marana, and representatives from Golder Ranch Fire District. The Commission also did a “deep dive” into the state of the internet in SaddleBrooke, holding public meetings with representatives from Orbitel and Century Link, and started off a long-term project of exploring our water infrastructure with a lecture on “water basics” by member Bruce Hale, who worked for the Denver Water Department for 33 years.
