COORDINATION / COMMUNICATION (COM) ISSUES
COM‐1: There is an opportunity for enhanced communication protocols between
AZARNG and local communities.
Location:
Project Area
There is communication between the AZARNG and representatives of the local
communities close to AZARNG sites, but there is no formalized communication
process. Additionally, not all communities engage in the same level of
communication with the AZARNG, which can negatively impact both the military and
the communities.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
COM‐1A: Establish a Pinal County JLUS Implementation Committee. Primary Parties:
Following completion of the JLUS, a Pinal County JLUS Implementation Committee
should be established to maintain efficient and effective coordination among the
JLUS partners and other affected stakeholders to oversee the implementation of JLUS
recommendations, and to enhance long‐term coordination on military compatibility
issues. The issues discussed and addressed by this committee would be focused on
land uses and future development within the JLUS Project Area. The Implementation
Committee’s focus may, however, be redirected to address other compatibility
factors as appropriate. As a starting point, all members of the JLUS Policy Committee
and Technical Working Group should be invited to be founding members of the JLUS
Implementation Committee. The membership may evolve, and new stakeholder
groups may be invited to join, as may be appropriate in the future. The Pinal County
JLUS Implementation Committee should meet on a regular basis, as agreed upon by
the Committee.
To continue the momentum produced through the JLUS process, it is recommended
that Pinal County be the lead agency on developing and maintaining the JLUS
Implementation Committee.
