A group of Oro Valley citizens opposed to the Town Council’s split decision to purchase the Hilton El Conquistador Country Club and associated facilities continue to collect signatures to recall Mayor Satish Hiremath and Council members Joe Hornat, Lou Waters, and Mary Snider. As of this week, the group reports that its goal is nearly met.
Ryan Hartung, who is heading up the recall effort said, “The Residents of Oro Valley are speaking loud and clear their desire to recall these four Council members. Our deadline is April 27th – we are on the home stretch. However, we insist on sending a clear and unequivocal message that a convincing number of our residents are dissatisfied with the status quo. We expect a significant surplus, but we will not rest until the 27th, and intend to collect as many signatures as possible in the remaining time.”
Specific petition signing locations, times, and other pertinent information can be found at www.OVCOG.org
Once signatures are collected and validated, a special election will take place in November, when Oro Valley residents will have the opportunity to replace the affected council members.
O.V.C.O.G. in Oro Valley, Arizona is a Citizens Action Committee formed following the Town Council’s vote to purchase this property and the referendum’s initial failing. For more information contact OVCOG2015@gmail.com, or visit www.OVCOG.org.
