Mr. Jones & Members of the Rancho Mañana HOA,

Thank you again for the opportunity to address your questions yesterday.  As I mentioned during the introductory comments, this recall leaves you with two options. The recall challengers, who represent a hysterical brand of confrontational politics on the one hand.  On the other, the incumbents including myself, Reg Monachino, Mike Durkin, and Charles Spitzer, who ran in 2013 because we recognized there was something amiss in the Town’s leadership and have been working diligently to fix things since taking office.
Neither Mr. LaMar nor Mr. Esser put forth a single policy proposal of their own during their multiple terms on council, yet they voted to approve tens of millions in debt expenditures to acquire and overbuild infrastructure beyond our community’s needs.  They then never saw to ensuring that infrastructure was maintained.  The result has been that our administration had to do over a year of triage on utility systems.  Thus, it took some time to first identify the costly and unnecessary delivery of potable drinking water to the Rancho Mañana golf course, in excess of the treated wastewater the course needs to irrigate. I apologize that the messaging from Town Hall was not clearer on this issue at the outset. But, rest assured the golf course is not going to turn brown as a result of identifying and correcting this problem.  However, the Town will save hundreds of thousands of dollars and we will conserve millions of gallons of precious water.
You won’t read about it in the Sonoran News, but over the last year and half this Council has been working for you. You heard my recall opponent talk about the transparency, maintaining infrastructure, and protecting desert rural zoning.  Her statements were vague pleasantries, unsubstantiated by a plan of action. The fact is this council has taken measurable strides in all of those categories.
Yesterday a question was asked about posting information, such as the maintenance plans, online so that it was easily accessible to the public.  I wanted to take the opportunity to send this email and provide you with some links to demonstrate the actions of this council.  All of this information is currently available online, although admittedly it may be difficult to find if you don’t know where to look. I pledge to try to fix that as we work through the more pressing needs of the Town.  In any case, my hope is that this information helps to demonstrate that details are in fact publicly available, and that my opponent’s statements are symptomatic of how disconnected the recall challengers are from reality.
Yesterday the challengers demonstrated that there is no substance to this recall.  They spent their time focusing on irrelevant deposition transcripts, their aspirations for serving the community lacked detail, and they did not even try to rebut the fact that former councilmen on the recall team sat idle before they were last voted off the Council.  Though the partial list above shows that much has been accomplished, there is more we must do.
I hope you will agree that Cave Creek needs to allow myself, Reg Monachino, Charles Spitzer, and Mike Durkin an opportunity to finish what we have started. And so, I ask for your vote and your continued support.  Together we will keep Cave Creek moving forward.  For more information please visit my website www.adamtrenk.com or feel free to contact me via email or phone if you have other questions.
Sincerely,
Adam Trenk
Vice Mayor, Town of Cave Creek
