DOR and Property Management Resources, SR-30, Independent Contractors Status, Remembering Pearl Harbor

The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) has made several updates to their systems and is providing new resources to help PMCs and their clients. I will be highlighting these helpful resources and changes made on a regular basis at www.weservgad.org, in the monthly WeSERV flipbook “The Word at WeSERV” and in the WeSERV broker newsletters.

Here are a couple of recent highlights: The ADOR has a special webpage for PMCs and DOR staff have created a helpful video tutorial series starting with the first video “Welcome Property Management Companies”. You can find more information on www.weservgad.org. Click on Arizona and look for the blogpost named Property Managers – AZ Dept. of Revenue Has a PMC Specific Webpage for You.

Also, at DOR for PMCs, free live, interactive virtual workshops and trainings for you and your clients.

MAG, the Maricopa Association of Governments, is seeking public input on a preferred active transportation facility along the SR-30.

If you have not had a chance to submit your comments to the Department of Labor regarding the proposed new IC rules, the deadline has been extended to December 13th.

December 7th, 1941:
It is now 81 years since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The USS Arizona was a proud warship and the largest in the American fleet. She had been commissioned in 1915 and led the American fleet back from Europe after WWI. She was also sitting in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th 1941, along with most of the Pacific Fleet, when the bombing began.

Read more about the USS Arizona, watch of video of President Roosevelt declaring war, and read a copy of the draft speech at www.weservgad.org. You can see artifacts of the USS Arizona at the Arizona Capitol Museum. To get a better feel for the shape and size of the ship, go to the USS Arizona memorial gardens at Salt River Fields.

To help honor the dead, the USS Arizona Memorial Gardens at Salt River will be conducting the annual flag breathing ceremony with the flag that flew over the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The ceremony begins at 8am on Dec. 7th.

Government Affairs events are complete for 2022. Our last two events were our city liaison teams visiting with cities in the southeast and west valleys.
Both members and the cities found the small scale, conversational meetings helpful and we will do more in 2023.
