Unscheduled Public Appearances 
George Richie, a resident of Chandler, AZ, expressed concerns about the Intel plant near Ocotillo 
and Dobson, calling it a nuisance. He has been trying to address noise complaints since 2008, 
noting that the noise can be heard as far as Bogle Junior High and Safeway at Chandler Heights. 
He often hears disturbing sounds in his home, even through closed windows. Mr. Richie has 
spoken with the plant manager, Aon Blond, and former Community Engagement Manager, Renee

Page 11 of 12 
 
Alvin, who acknowledged the issue during a visit. He also mentioned the intrusive smells from 
Intel's fleet of old buses and the overwhelming traffic in the area. He has requested that the police 
enforce speed limits on roads during early morning hours due to excessive activity. Mr. Richie 
hopes the city will appoint a staff member to work with him and Intel on these issues, particularly 
concerning the loud bursts of compressed air that startle residents.  
 
Will Bullock, a resident of 598 E. Knead in Chandler, AZ, spoke about a bill for an alarm permit. He 
expressed his belief that this requirement is unnecessary, as it simply informs the police about an 
alarm system, which seems illogical for him to pay for annually. Bullock also noted that the city 
has outsourced this fee collection, suggesting it could have been added to water bills for 
convenience. He wishes to opt out of the program altogether. Mr. Bullock addressed the negative 
media coverage regarding the city and Vice Mayor Harris, emphasizing that if any allegations are 
true, it raises serious ethical concerns for residents. He called for action on this matter, 
acknowledging the ongoing investigation by Scottsdale and expressing his dissatisfaction with the 
situation, which he believes is a significant concern for the community.

centers are now open, allowing residents to cast their votes. He encouraged everyone to 
participate in the election and hoped their chosen candidates would win. 
 
COUNCILMEMBER POSTON said that the Mayor and Council attended the long-awaited ribbon-
cutting ceremony for Galveston Elementary School. This event highlighted the community's vision, 
planning, and input in the school's creation. The city is grateful for its ongoing partnership with 
CUSD and congratulates Principal Alala, his staff, students, and parents. The city is also investing 
significantly in the Galveston neighborhood to improve the area and the lives of local children. 
Notably, Principal Alcala is an alumnus of the school, which underscores his dedication to the 
students. 
 
COUNCILMEMBER POSTON attended the Chamber's recent Women in Leadership event, which 
focused on self-defense. She found it particularly impactful. Officer Noah Dueker offered practical 
safety tips, and Joseph Bautista led interactive self-defense instruction. Councilmember Poston 
expressed her gratitude to Officer Dueker, believing this information is essential for everyone, 
especially women, to enhance their safety. She commended the Police Department for hosting 
the self-defense classes, which fill up quickly without much advertising. Councilmember Poston 
encouraged community members, particularly those who travel alone at night, to take advantage 
of these opportunities and wanted to express her appreciation for the event.
