ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Phoenix, Arizona
(NOW: camp
Navajo; storage)
Allows the Camp Navajo fund to receive monies for the storage of commodities and services provided from sources other than the government.
Camp Navajo was originally
established in 1942 as Navajo Ordinance Depot for the storage of munitions
during World War II and has been in continuous operation since. Camp Navajo is currently operated by the
Arizona National Guard and has three missions:
1)
Operate
an Arizona National Guard training site.
2)
Provide
command and control of the Arizona Army National Guard force structure in
Northern Arizona.
3)
Provide
depot-level storage services to various Department of Defense customers such as
the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
According to statute, the
Camp Navajo fund is established for the operation, maintenance, capital
improvements and personal services necessary for the Arizona National Guard to
operate a regional training site and storage facility. Camp Navajo uses revenues derived from
munitions storage and maintenance to maintain its infrastructure, pay the
salaries for the majority of their personnel and provide the Arizona National
Guard with a training facility at a reduced cost. Currently, the Camp Navajo
fund is only able to receive monies from the federal government and other
government agencies for the storage of commodities and services provided. H.B. 2581 allows sources other than the
government, such as private enterprises, to deposit monies into the fund.
There is no fiscal impact to
the state general fund associated with this legislation.
1. Allows the Camp Navajo fund to receive monies for the storage of commodities and services provided from sources other than the government.
