“It doesn't need to be in color. The city of Tucson is on the lands that have been stewarded by the Dona Watham since time immemorial and the Pascua Yaqui people who have lived in the Sonoran Desert for thousands of years. Thank you. Sure. Well, so first of all, thank you to everyone for being here. I think one of the things about meetings like this, when we are not in our own chambers, is that they are slightly deceiving in the sense that some of us can stroll in, sit down. However, all of our IT, our clerks, Our communications staff do a ton of work behind the scenes to sort of bring our…”

So thank you for the work that you all do and for being here.”

“This quick overview of the Prosperity Initiative and Pima County's policies and programs seeking to improve our community's overall health and prosperity is just a scratch on the surface in understanding all we are doing. Over the past four years, we have aligned the county budget to building a more just, verdant, and prosperous community. We adopted the Prosperity Initiative in 2023 and have been working toward embedding it in the culture of the county and its budget writing. Reducing generational poverty and improving overall community wealth are enormous undertakings that require all of us…”

“So we thought kind of basing the discussion both like level setting with the videos as a foundation and then just thinking about two key questions. One is where do we, and we meaning county if you're county, city if you're city, Where do we lead on the prosperity initiative, right? Because sometimes we lead, sometimes we follow. And then the second question is about what gaps do you think exist in our prosperity initiative work?”

“I would also note too that, I mean, I know between city and county are Our planning departments, our development services departments do a lot to ensure that when you cross the road, you don't confront different regulatory procedures, right? So that there is a seamlessness between the city and county. And I know there's effort to look at what could be done to speed up those processes, but I think clearly more could be done. And I think it's a brilliant idea of sort of integrating in some of the legacy businesses as well, because we do focus... And there's an increasing focus, I think, from…”

“Sure. I mean, there is so much that we could do. My notes are extensive. The one piece that I'll just flag, and not that we need to be flagging anything else that we could do together, because I think there's so much already, but just our work around climate. For both of us, we have goals, right? And climate is one of the cross-cutting policy areas of the Prosperity Initiative. We both have climate plans. The one that is completed within the county is the one that focuses on operations. And I think that there is so much that could be done around efficiencies if we did some of our energy…”

“And I will just thank everybody for your commitment to your constituents, your commitment to families and to seeing where people are at and seeing and hearing the real struggles that people are facing and then coming together to come up with new and different ideas and stepping outside of our normal sort of jurisdictional boundaries to do work differently and to do it together because at the end of the day, it's our constituents, our families in the county and the city that matter the most. So thank you for all that you do.”
