The year-long effort to form a Street Light Improvement District (SLID) in the Surprise neighborhood known as Sierra Montana Parcel 14 is nearing success. City officials say only three additional signatures are needed to form the District, which will provide property tax dollars to pay to keep the lights energized, and avoid a street light shut-off.
Arizona Public Service has said the company will disconnect the streetlights in that neighborhood on May 17.

The City of Surprise and the Community and Recreation Services Department is currently accepting applications to fill seven positions on the Surprise Teen Advisory Board.
Fancy dresses, corsages, black ties, quiet dinners and tuxedos; these are all fond memories that most people recall from their high school prom. The City of Surprise Adaptive Recreation Outreach Program made this prom dream a reality for a group of students with disabilities from Dysart High Schools on April 28.
The second annual Adaptive Prom, which was held at the Sierra Montana Recreation Center in Surprise, included a limo service to the event, tuxedos and dresses for the participants, red carpet entry, a catered meal, dancing and fun for everyone! The Prom also included photos and a crowning of the King and Queen. Over $6,000 in donations and in kind contributions from organizations and sponsors across the Valley allowed these students to enjoy their special day for free.
The Teen Advisory Board is comprised of 11 (ninth through twelfth grade) students enrolled in public, private, or charter schools or participating in home schooling or other educational venues that equate to 9 - 12 grade study levels. All voting members shall be residents of Surprise and remain so during their term of office. Members shall be appointed to the lesser of either four year terms or until such time as they graduate from high school.
The City of Surprise was presented the 2010 Water Reuse Project of the Year Award, by the Arizona Water Association at their annual conference in Glendale today, for the Surprise South Water Reclamation Plant Vadose Zone Recharge System.
Councilman Mike Woodard
I guess Councilman Mike Woodard is learning that you can say more, when you’re an ordinary citizen.June 26, 2007 – Page 2Public Comments:Mike Woodard commented that the City Manager is a good man, he met him about 4 or 5 years ago. There are a lot of things that have been said by the City Manager and he has been steadfast and stood by his word over the years even with all of the confusion and turmoil. He is admired and respected by his employees.
Now that Councilman Mike Woodard is on the council he has evaporated into thin air.

Deaner, who has a Sun City mailing address, lives in an unincorporated area near Corte Bella, and could make the mortgage payments on the home he bought but chose not to, forcing the bank to begin foreclosure proceedings. And there’s an estimated million more like him. He’s part of a rising epidemic of Americans who, despite having the money, walked away from homes “underwater,” or worth less than their mortgages.
In Arizona, half of the homes are “underwater.”

Council Woman Sharon Wolcott of Surprise, AZ
Surprise, Arizona
After thinking of what Council Woman Sharon Wolcott said the other day, I wonder if where she comes from, did they have like we have “Towns” & “Cities” which is based on population and noticed that there are minor state statutes which are different from one another.
Because Surprise is a City and does not have a Charter it operates under A.R.S. 9-271 Procedure for change; city officers.
