FLORENCE -- Pinal County Treasurer Dodie Doolittle said her office has received calls regarding a tax scam targeting some local residents. “Our office has been contacted by residents saying they have received messages from a person claiming to be with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration,” Treasurer Doolittle stated. “They are told that their address is under Federal investigation. I am forwarding on a statement from the Office of the Inspector General regarding this scam and how

to report if you receive a call from these scammers.”From the Office of Inspector General: There are numerous telephone and email scams in which individuals claim to be employees of the Treasury Department. These scammers often state that they are from the “Department of Legal Affairs,” offer grant money in exchange for you wiring a small payment, or threaten to arrest you within a short period of time unless payment is made. Do not provide personal information or payment to these

individuals. Their actions are crimes under Titles 18 and 31 of the United States Code, and the Treasury Office of Inspector General is working to stop them. If you have received a call or an email that you suspect is fraudulent, report it to [email protected] with a description of the communication. If the call or email contained claims related to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or taxes, you must report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at http://1.usa.gov/1Xuggrj or

1-800-366-4484. When reporting a suspicious call, telephone carriers require that you provide the exact date and time that you received the call(s) and the geographic location and time zone where you received the call. For example: “I received a suspicious call from telephone number XXX-XXX-XXX to my home phone in Tallahassee, Florida (Eastern Time Zone) on October 23, 2015 at 9:23AM claiming that there is a legal action against me from the Treasury Department of Legal Affairs.”

John F. Kennedy Student Body President Alianna Lopez and student body treasurer Nathan Taylor presented the SHS class of 2016 Valedictorian Elias Olmos and Salutatorian Ivie Lopez with Panther Drive street signs on behalf of the Student Council and the JFK student body. The duo also gave a report on the all of the activities the student council completed during the school year. The student council also presented Ms. Josie Campos with a plaque to recognize her for her efforts in

reorganizing the student library at JFK. The library had been closed for more than seven years and with the help and direction of Ms. Campos she was able to assist the administration in re-opening the library this year. The street name change is now official, with Mary Drive becoming Panther Drive. For those wishing to buy a street sign Panther Drive, the school is selling them for $25. Stop in at the district office to inquire about purchase.

Graduating seniors from Superior High School were honored by the Superior Town Council last week. Christine Martinez | Sun

By James J. HodlSuperior Sun

Superior Town Government has come to an agreement with the Arizona Office of Auditor General (OAG) concerning charges that the town misdirected HURF (Highway User Revenue Funds) targeted for road, bridge and transportation projects to other municipal uses. The agreement was explained at the May 12 Superior Town Council meeting. Rather than refund to the state the $2.8 million in HURF funds OAG says were used for non-road budgetary items over the years, OAG merely wants Superior to spend more than the HURF funds it receives each year for appropriate projects. Revenues spent on road projects in excess of HURF funds received would be deducted from what it owed until the deficit is erased. However the agreement comes with a warning. Should Superior not spend the total HURF dollars received in the year they are provided, OAG could send auditors to the town and take over direction of road projects inside Superior “In effect, the state auditors would set their own priorities on what road projects need to be done in Superior without town input,” said Superior Police Chief Dave Neuss, who earlier this year met with OAG on the HURF issue while serving as interim town co-manager.

To meet terms of the agreement, if Superior received $80,000 in HURF funds and spent $100,000 on road projects, $20,000 would be deducted from the $2.8 million owed. But if Superior only spent $60,000 of the HURF funds, the shortage would be added to the deficit and the town would risk OAG seizing control of road maintenance within the town, Neuss said. “They rather we use the money to maintain and upgrade our roads than send the money back to the state,” he added. “And they are willing for Superior to pay at its own pace even if it takes 50 years.” The agreement supplants an earlier agreement with OAG to pay back the misdirected HURF funds at a rate of $100 a month, for which Superior stopped paying in September 2013. The misdirection of funds was discovered in a 2011 audit, where OAG found that Superior has used HURF funds to plug holes in its budget targeted for other municipal projects. The repurposed HURF money was originally said to be a “loan” but due to a declining population and the 2008 economic downturn Superior found it impossible to repay these “loans” and for several years continued to “borrow” more. There had been a threat by OAG to ask the Arizona Treasurer’s Office to withhold transportation excise tax revenue to the town for inappropriately spending earlier revenues. During 2015, Superior received $203,338.61 in HURF

revenues as allocated by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). HURF revenues are derived from transportation taxes and fees, such as the motor fuel taxes, and the title, registration and driver licenses fees, and from local taxpayer-approved excise taxes. These are distributed to all counties based on population. Arizona Statute 28-6392 limits the use of transportation excise tax revenues and HURF funds to street and highways purposes and for transportation projects. These can include right-of-way acquisitions, and the construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair of roads, streets and bridges; and for roadside development. Excise revenues also can be used to pay principal and interest on highway and street bonds and personal costs, including salaries and benefits for employees working directly or indirectly on transportation projects. During the Council Meeting, the Council unanimously approved a HURF-covered purchase of an air curtain burner for the Superior Transfer Station. The burner is used for the thorough but low-pollution burning a vegetative matter (including wood) removed from right-of-ways acquired for new road and road widening projects (such as the current U.S. 60 widening project running through the town). The cost is expected to be about $75,000.

A, B, C, D, E, F, Gee, what amazing fun is being had at Head Start, by students, staff, family members and other participants! On Wednesday, May 25, starting at 10:30 a.m. the Superior Head Start program’s ceremony for Certificate of Completion will be held. Time and nurture have brought the children experience, growth, development and the acquisition of skills, and, soon, many of them will be off to kindergarten while the staff, who enjoyed their company during a year of learning, will be welcoming new children to the program. Head Start children learn so much in a playful way, but, with a focus on details that is rare in the academic world. Whether it’s looking for their name, or for the letters in their name, counting friends, selecting crayon colors, engaging in daily conversation, dancing to silly songs, learning how to swing, listening to stories to enhance their good listening skills and develop their attention span, the children are encouraged to develop coping skills. They have learned much about pride, sharing, caring, concern for others, as well as the more esoteric skills such as tying shoes, waking up on time, and, of course, learning to deal with the frustrations that come with personal and academic growth. Says Teresita Martinez-Olmos - PIC Superior Head Start, “The teaching staff would like to thank all of the parents, grandparents, family members and the community of Superior and business community for their involvement with the Head Start Program this year. It takes a strong relationship with parents and community in order for the children to succeed.”

Town Manager Todd Pryor noted before passage that the air curtain burner also could generate revenues for Superior as the ash from wood waste is a nutritious soil additive and can be sold a plant nurseries, farms, and as potting soil to homeowners. Councilman John Tameron wondered if Superior could charge firms working on highway projects outside of Superior to recycle the vegetative debris removed from around their projects. In other business at the Council Meeting, Council members voted to request that ADOT include lighting in the Stone Avenue underpass as it rebuilds the U.S. 60 bridge over the road. The lights (not included in project specs) will provide better safety for residents using the underpass, thus reducing accidents. To hold down costs, it was proposed that LED lights be used. Council members also directed Pryor to pursue a grant application to acquire a new ambulance serving the Gila River Indian Community. The ambulance would replace a 1997 model ambulance that has traveled more than 200,000 miles and is nearing the end of its useful life. It

is hoped that if the grant (derived from Prop 2 gaming money) would cover the entire $196,000 price tag for the new ambulance. Rates for reserving a public pool in Superior for parties was reduced from $75 to $50 per hour by a unanimous Council vote. It is hoped that the lower rates will bring in more pool party rentals and thus increase such revenues to the town. The number of party rentals dropped substantially when rates were earlier raised. Proposed revisions in the Superior Sewer Code were tabled and sent to committee. The proposed change would make Superior responsible for more of the underground lines. At present, Superior is only responsible to repair problems in the mainline, with homeowners paying to correct all other lines leading to their home. The proposed change would make Superior responsible for repairs to sewer pipes up to property lines. “Before we draft a new code, we should ask homeowners what they think,” Councilman Tameron said. The Council voted to hold such hearings, and for Town

Attorney Stephen Cooper to draft the Code revisions. It was noted that if Superior goes with property lines, the town may have to acquire new tools to verify who is responsible, such as a camera-equipped sewer snake. Superior Chamber of Commerce President Sue Anderson added that the town should be responsible for sewer lines under private property if the lines were installed wrong, as in her neighborhood the presence of 90-degree-turns in sewer pipes has resulted in costly clogs and effluent backups that residents have had to pay to undo. During the Public Comment section, Nancy Vogler, co-owner of Superior Sweets, asked the Council to take another look at the local sales tax situation. With the Superior portion of the tax at 4%, when combined with the state and county levies, residents pay a 10.7% sales tax. This is hurting business in Superior, with some residents taking their business outside of Superior to escape the high tax, she said. Council members indicated they would take the request under advisement.

The Chief of Superior Police Department has been invited to a conference at the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children in Alexandria, Virginia. These invitations are limited, fully funded by the Center, and the

conference will cover numerous topics of child crimes and safety measures. “Besides the obvious educational benefits that will be brought back to our police department,” Chief Dave Neuss said, “being part of the National Center

brings the town many national program availabilities. If the town ever needs assistance with child safety or resources; the National Center is available to us, with just a phone call.” The Town of Superior Police

Department was the first law enforcement agency to be acknowledged in the State of Arizona, for the Missing Kids Readiness Project. This is a great honor for our town to be invited to this conference in Virginia.

Public NoticePursuant to A.R.S. ‘41 563.01, the Town Council of Superior voted to (approve/disapprove) the proposed alternative expenditure limitation home rule option at its special meeting on April 28th. The vote for approval was 4 For and 0 Against. At the primary election to be held on August 30, 2016, the voters of the Town of Superior will vote on the question of an alternative expenditure limitation home rule option. With voter approval, the town shall be limited to the expenditure of estimated available revenues whether such expenditures are less than or exceed the State imposed limit. As an example, in 2015-2016, the state-imposed limitation plus applicable constitutional exclusions will allow expenditures of $1,200,240. Under the proposed alternative expenditure limitation, we estimate expenditures of $6,763,131. If the voters approve, the additional expenditure authority will be used for all local budgetary purposes including the ambulance service, police, fire, public works, senior center, pool and library. Revenues received from federal, state and local sources will be used to fund such expenditures. (The town property tax shall be limited to the amount prescribed in the Arizona State Constitution.)
