Massive public records request seeks Big Chino spending data

PRESCOTT – When voters overwhelmingly approved the Taxpayer Protection Initiative in 2009, one of the main goals was to require a public vote on the city’s largest project at the time – the Big Chino Water Ranch.

Now three years in, no such vote has yet occurred.

Michael Allen Peters, who ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Prescott City Council in 2009, has questioned the city’s stance on the initiative (also called Proposition 401), and is now pushing the matter even further.

On Oct. 19, Peters filed a public records request with the city, seeking reams of information on the history of the water ranch.

Starting with 2004 – the year the city bought the ranchland northeast of Paulden – the request seeks invoices, contracts, agreements, and legal actions pertaining to the city’s plans to build a well field and pipeline to transport Big Chino water to Prescott and Prescott Valley.
