Vice Mayor Reuwsaat commented that he was proud to be a part of a Council that put the majority of the Town's budget into the true needs of the community such as capital improvement projects and transportation needs.

She advised them not to always be dependent on funding and assistance from outside sources like the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). She said that a stronger support from ADOT was already evident because of the good example Marana had set. The Town accepted partial responsibility for construction costs in the re-configuration of the 1-10/Cortaro Road exit ramp and intersection.

He agreed with the Vice Mayor and with Council Member Harn that the Town was moving in the right direction and giving the residents what they wanted.
