towns are facing devastating revenue shortfalls due to an
unprecedented recession; and
WHEREAS, the unincorporated area of Pinal County known as San
Tan Valley is seeking to incorporate within a specific geographic
area; and
WHEREAS,the incorporation of San Tan Valley will have a
negative financial impact on existing municipalities by forcing a
redistribution of already reduced state shared revenues; and

cities and towns within six miles of the proposed boundaries of a
new municipality have been provided veto power over such
incorporation; and

the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Green v. City of Tucson,340
F.3d 891 (9th Cir. Ariz. 2003) (attempted Tortolita incorporation in
the Tucson area); and
WHEREAS, the statute set forth a legitimate state interest not
only in regulating the formation of new municipalities, but also in
protecting the interest of already existing municipalities; and
WHEREAS, the very purpose of A.R.S. § 9-101.01 is to protect
cities and towns from problems that may flow from the existence of
many separate governmental entities in a limited geographical area.
