Message From Councilman Kevin Robinson
As someone with over 36 years of law enforcement experience, I always am looking out for the future of our Phoenix Police Department. Currently, the Phoenix Police Department is below its authorized number of police officers. This is not a place we want to be, especially as the nation’s 5th largest city.
So, the question begs to be asked, what can be done to bridge this gap and attract more qualified women and men to the Phoenix Police Department?
To me, the answer is simple, educate people about the opportunities that a career with the Phoenix Police Department offers. There are a multitude of assignments within the police department that would satisfy anyone’s quest for personal fulfillment, and most importantly, service to others and community.
I would encourage people to explore the police department website, joinphxpd.com It only takes a few minutes to see that you could have a rewarding career filled with a variety of opportunities!
What type of person makes a good police officer – a good person, someone who wants to be a part of a great time and have an exciting career, one that offers the challenge to help people and keep our communities safe. A good person, willing to learn, someone that cares about helping others, all the while, improving our community. Good people can be trained to be good police officers – that’s what we need, good people looking to be a part of a positive impact in the City of Phoenix.
Thank you,
Kevin Robinson, City of Phoenix Councilman, District 6

Message From Arizona State Treasurer
Greetings Biltmore Area Partnership Members,
I hope your families had a wonderful summer break as the “Back to School” season begins!
My investment team at the Arizona State Treasurer’s Office continues to produce record-setting results while wisely investing our taxpayer dollars, always taking into consideration Safety, before Liquidity, before Yield. For Fiscal Year 2024, we distributed a record-high of over $1.5 billion in earnings, which includes $335.9 million for our participants in our Local Government Investment Pool, $715.9 million for State Agencies and $456.1 million for the Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund (PLETF).
I am also proud to report that the PLETF had a record-high month-end market value of $8.67 billion in June, which is an increase of more than 50% since I took office. In fact, the 10-year annualized returns of the PLETF have outperformed the national average U.S. college and university endowments for 10 years in a row! These distributions positively impact our local communities by supporting 13 beneficiaries, including Arizona K-12 schools, universities, and hospitals.
The AZ529, Arizona’s Education Savings Plan, continues to help more families save and plan for their children’s future education. Since my office began administering the AZ529 Plan in October 2020, we have seen 43,483 new accounts opened and assets up 43.2% to $2.32 billion in that same time frame, which is a new record-high.
In July, I announced the 10 winners of our second annual “My Picture-Perfect Career” Photo Contest during an awards ceremony at the Arizona State Capitol. The winners represent K-12th grade students from district, charter, private schools and homeshools from across seven Arizona counties. Each winner received $529 towards a new or existing AZ529 Education Savings Plan.
I am always looking to help more students save for their education and prepare for their future careers, so look for our AZ529 essay contest this fall and an art contest in the spring.
I am thankful for your continued support and contributions to our community. If you or your organization require my Office’s assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at (602) 542-7800 or aztreasury.gov/contact.
Sincerely,
Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee

Adobe Bar & Grille’s New Executive Chef: The Adobe Bar & Grille recently welcomed Jacob Ellis as Executive Chef. Chef Jacob has 18-plus years of culinary arts, restaurant management, and guest service experience working at popular restaurants, resorts and golf clubs. He most recently served in dual roles as executive chef and food & beverage director at Rancho De Los Caballeros in Wickenburg, Ariz., where he spearheaded the opening of 19, a new fine-dining experience at the historic resort. Early in his career, Ellis studied under Celebrity Chef Beau MacMillan at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, before moving on to lead the culinary operations at several high-end establishments, including Top of the Rock in Tempe, Ariz., the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco, Calif., and Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond, Okla.
Book Golf Simulator on OpenTable: Reservations for the Golf Simulator can now be made on OpenTable or by calling 602-468-9160. Located adjacent to The Pantry, the simulator can be rented by the hour and enjoyed by guests and Club Members. Golfers can choose to play over 200 championship courses on the simulator, including Pebble Beach, Bethpage Black, Pinehurst and St. Andrews, or choose from a dozen golf-themed games.
Golf Course Summer Maintenance Schedule Update: With hotter temperatures and the establishment of warm season grasses, comes the need for aerification of our golf courses, including tees, greens, fairways and roughs on both the Links and Estates courses. The Links Course reopened from aerification on July 15th and as a result turf health is improving during these hot summer months. The Estates Course is now closed for the same aerification process and will remain closed through August 25. The extended period of closure will allow crews to complete additional work on the course, including improving tee box alignment on a few holes, planting more plants, and working on overall turf health in a few areas of the course.
Practice Range Closed: Summer improvements commenced on June 3rd with the closure of the Practice Range for a grassing project. Crews have sprigged/grassed the range with the same TifTuf Bermuda grass used on the golf course. It generally takes 90 days for this type of grass to grow in properly, therefore the Practice Range will be closed throughout the summer. We expect to re-open by Labor Day weekend. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Pantry: Coffee, teas, scones, muffins, sandwiches, ice cream and more, The Pantry is the perfect place to stop to satisfy your hunger or quench your thirst. The new grab-and-go market located in the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club clubhouse has quickly become The Biltmore community’s new gathering spot.
From Small Meetings to Large Weddings, Meetings and Events: The spectacular new clubhouse at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club can accommodate a variety of meetings and events – from a small luncheon or meeting in The Gallery, to a larger wedding or event in the 6,000 sq. ft. Ballroom. The Ballroom features a state-of-the-art sound system and visual displays, and can be split into two rooms for smaller, more intimate gatherings. For more information on holding your next event at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club, contact Catering Sales Manager Sally Mackesy at smackesy@jdmgolf.com.
