Tim’s Event Center & Used Car Lot
The Tim’s Toyota Center opened Nov. 8th to great fanfare and “free” skating for the public. And aren’t we glad that “Danny’s Honey Dipper ” portable toilets didn’t write a BIGGER check to the Fain’s? All the usual suspects who tuck in behind the Fains have executive suites “above” the masses.
At any rate, a great facility and over 20 Million PV citizen bucks invested thanks to a cooperative mayor and council. I voted NO as the cost that was NOT the 3 Million Fains had promised only 2 weeks before.
An election in March 07 could have replaced 4 of the rubber stamps. However, Prescott Valley does not have people willing to put themselves into the “arena of politics” and change the culture of “Fainville”.
The town has had Code ordinances against balloons and other “moving” displays. That didn’t stop Tims from hoisting balloons at their first “used car sale”. On March, 12th, the pro developer P & Z commission voted to approve ballooons for a limited period each year if properly applied for.
By the way, Last December 28th, a special council meeting held in the event center provided yet another of protection for the Fain Signature Group against ANY taxes and now the town of Prescott Valley guarantees 35 Million in payments over the life of the agreement. Remember 23 Million to construct it? Mayor Skoog and the council could not explain the 12 Million difference; but they voted for it!
I think the addition of frequent used car sales at the facility is disgusting. Additionally, the valued PV sales tax (2.33%) will mainly be held (2%) by the Event Center Agreement with the town to cover any losses incurred by the annual operation of the Event Center. Hopefully we don’t have to cover losses on Tim’s used cars sold here.
