re: Notice of proposed Waddell Fire and Medical District in Maricopa County A.R.S. 48-261
Ms. McCarroll:
Thank you for the notification of the proposed district in Waddell, Arizona 85355.
I am writing on behalf of the Congregational Council of Desert Streams Lutheran church, located at
10330 N. Cotton Lane, Waddell, AZ 85355, to indicate the council has unanimously voted to support the
establishment of a fire and medical district in Waddell, pursuant to the announcement of a hearing to
take place on August 15, 2018.
Our facility was opened on November 3, 2017 and we are currently served by Rural Metro Fire Service
under an annual contract. We are very interested in the establishment of a fire and medical service that
is focused on Waddell and is inter-connected to other fire services in the area. Further we appreciate
the addition of increased paramedics, fire and safety education, and providing more peace of mind for
our membership in the event of fire or medical emergencies.
While we recognize that this will impact the residents of the Waddell community, we believe that the
benefits far outweigh the increased property taxes and provide a service that is superior to the current
arrangement.
We wholeheartedly support the proposed Waddell Fire and Medical District.
Respectfully,
Jerry Houston,
Council Board Member and Property Manager
