2021-02-09 Prescott Council should respect include citizens

In recent months Prescott officials have twice proposed and twice postponed expanding the city’s existing overly broad water policy to authorize, with few restrictions, providing water and sewer services to up to 25,000 acres outside the city limits without annexation.

The existing policy requires an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Prescott and another governmental entity, such as a Yavapai County water improvement district. The proposed policy eliminates the IGA provision, making a bad policy even worse.
