HOW TO SPIN THIS HEIST: Hizzoner John Giles signaled strong support for the measure during the study session, saying that he thought the existing facilities were “overutilized,” and more space for public safety was justified.
“With the growth of our community, I think any reasonable voter that looks into this thing is going to support it,” Giles said, “but I think it’s incumbent on all of us to realize this is a campaign .”“We are going to the voters and saying, ‘would you please give us $43 or more a year of your money?’ which is a serious ask,” Giles continued. “So yes, we need to put this on the ballot, but more importantly, we need to work with labor groups and anyone else to campaign out there to help people understand why it is important to vote for it.”
City eyes $157M public safety bond proposal By Scott Shumaker, Tribune Staff Writer May 31, 2022
". . .The package is about twice as large as the public safety bonds approved by voters in 2018, the last time Mesa voters signed off on bonds for police, fire and medical.
The last time voters approved bonds for public safety, in 2018, they signed off on $84.8 million for police and fire out of a total $196 million package including parks, cultural amenities and shared use paths.
Cities in Arizona can raise funds for projects by selling bonds to investors, which are paid back with interest over a period of up to 30 years. Voters must approve the amounts of the bonds .
City Manager Chris Brady told Council earlier this month that staff estimates the new financing would cost taxpayers about $43 a year in additional secondary property taxes. . .
At a January planning and zoning hearing for a new housing development at Val Vista Drive and Thomas Road , which is in the service area of the proposed Lindsay and McDowell station, many residents said a fire station was sorely needed in the area, especially as the number of residents has grown in recent years.
While the bonds would deliver a new station in the area, residents will have to wait several years: City Engineer Beth Huning told council the new fire stations would be complete four to six years after the November vote if the bond funds are approved. . .
The largest project in the bond package is a renovation of the police headquarters building, built originally in 1974, then expanded in 1988 and 1997, Huning said.
The bond package includes a $43.4 million overhaul of the police headquarters at 130 N. Robson and adding $10 million to the $10 million already approved in a 2018 bond package for a consolidated evidence facility next door.
It also includes another $41.9 million for improving the 57,500-square-foot public safety training facility on North 40th Street by adding classrooms, parking and other site improvements.
. . . “As we’re growing and adding police and firemen, classes that we bring in continue to get bigger and bigger and bigger ,” Brady said of the training facility. “So we need both classroom space and we just need parking, logistics.”

What is SPIN FISHING? What does SPIN FISHING mean? SPIN FISHING meaning,...
VIDEO Hmmm. mebbe reading too much into this applying this definition to influencing public opinion and public relations campaigns and what's called news, 'spinning the story' ... basically it's BAIT. This is a brief streaming vid if you are interested in all the applications and ramifications in a much broader context.
Spin fishing is an angling technique where a spinning lure is used to entice the fish to bite. Spin fishing is used in both freshwater and marine environments. Spin fishing is distinguished between fly fishing and bait cast fishing by the type of rod and reel used. There are two types of reels used when spin fishing, the open faced reel and the closed faced reel. The spin fishing rod has no trigger attached to the base of the fishing rod. This is what differentiates the spin fishing rod from the bait casting fishing rod. When fishing in a river the line should be cast upstream. Casting upstream and retrieving with the current results in the spinner/lure sinking faster. Bottom bouncing is a spin fishing technique where the spinner is cast up river from the shore, and then allowed to bounce on the river bottom until it has moved downstream. The rod tip is held higher in the air than normal and the speed of retrieval is faster. This method is commonly used when float fishing from an inflatable dingy. The spinner is cast directly behind the boat until it settles on the bottom. After the spinner has settled it bounces on the bottom, naturally attracting fish of all species. This technique is commonly used for trout in large wide rivers where an inflatable boat can be used. All types of trout are caught with this method including brown trout, rainbow trout, bull trout, brook trout and cut throat trout. The key to Walking The Dog is making sure that there's some "line-slack" immediately before each jerk, and immediately after each jerk. This gives a crisp, natural motion to the lure, unfettered by drag of any kind.
