PUBLIC SERVICES (PS) ISSUES
PS‐1: Emergency service coordination between the AZARNG and the Town of
Florence is not formalized.
Location:
Florence Military Reservation
The AZARNG currently has Memoranda of Agreement with Pinal County for police
and fire protection, but responders from the Town of Florence typically have quicker
response times due to their proximity. There are no Memoranda of Agreement in
place with the Town of Florence emergency service responders.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
PS‐1A: Consider incorporating Florence Military Reservation into town limits. Primary Party:
The AZARNG should consider the benefits and costs of requesting annexations into
the Town of Florence limits to allow access to Town of Florence emergency services.
If deemed to be of benefit, the AZARNG should formally request annexation into the
town limits and pay any associated costs.

RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
PT‐1A: Ensure property boundary demarcation with fences and signage. Primary Party:
The AZARNG should continue to fence and maintain existing facilities and contain
newly acquired / leased lands for its training activities. The AZARNG should also
ensure adequate and highly visible signage that indicates where land is part of an
active military range and trespassing is forbidden.
