Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, May 1, 2025.
Today is shaping up to be a busy one across Tucson with several major events happening around town. The News 4 Tucson's Job Fair kicks off at 10 AM at the DoubleTree Reid Park and runs until 3 PM. If you're job hunting, this is being billed as Southern Arizona's largest job fair, with numerous local businesses looking to hire.
In city news, the process to fill the upcoming Ward 5 Council vacancy is moving forward. Applications must be submitted by 9 AM today. Successful candidates will make short presentations as part of the selection process.
The City is also hosting an important town hall tonight regarding a potential agreement between Tucson and TEP. If you're interested in learning more about this partnership, head to the meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
In other local news, a Tucson nonprofit is making a significant change today as the Assistance League of Tucson will officially change its name to Viva Pima! This marks the end of their national affiliation with their umbrella organization.
For those concerned about community activism, May Day events are happening across the city. A march is scheduled for 5:30 PM starting at Southside Presbyterian Church on West 23rd Street, joining similar events happening nationwide.
On the public safety front, Sahuarita police arrested a 28-year-old man on child pornography charges yesterday. Also concerning, authorities report a middle school student was allegedly assaulted at an Eastside bus stop on Wednesday. In another development, a PCC student was recently arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure, and witnesses are being sought.
Some good news for families looking to cool off as temperatures climb – the City is celebrating the Freedom Park splash pad this weekend. And for our neighbors in Marana, the Aquatic and Recreation Center opens this Saturday, providing another recreation option for the hot months ahead.
If you're interested in local governance, the City Magistrates Merit Selection Commission is currently interviewing applicants to fill a vacant City Magistrate position, and public comment is encouraged as part of the review process.
In Cochise County, a fire scare in Bisbee has been contained, with the Sheriff's Office canceling evacuation orders that had been issued.
As we head into what looks to be a warm afternoon, remember to stay hydrated if you're attending any of today's events.
This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
