Summary
A resident told the council a house in Los Alamos has been a fire hazard for 12 years and raised concerns about missing road striping that could endanger drivers; she asked the city to take action and to identify the responsible agency.
A San Luis resident told the City Council on Aug. 21 that an ongoing property and road‑safety issue in the Los Alamos subdivision needs city attention.
Angela Delgado said she has filed multiple complaints over 12 years about a house in her subdivision that she calls a fire hazard. Delgado told the council the property has excessive weeds and debris and that she worries the neighborhood could catch fire, comparing the risk to wildfires in California. She said, “I do not want to have my subdivision up in flames.”
Delgado also raised a road‑safety concern, saying pavement striping has worn away at a dip on a road she drives daily and that she does not know whether the Arizona Department of Transportation or the city is responsible. She told the council she has been told the issue is “being taken care of” for a year but said the condition persists.
Why it matters: The resident framed the problem as an ongoing public‑safety risk for evacuation and emergency access and urged the council to take action rather than offering repeated reassurances.
Council response: A staff member asked Delgado for her name and contact information for follow-up; no vote or formal enforcement action was recorded at the meeting.
Ending: Delgado urged the council to “take the reins and make it safe.” The council did not record a formal timeline for follow-up in the meeting transcript.
