City Council (Regular) — May 19, 2026
The city is facing a revenue plateau — about $10 million a year less in state-shared revenues — so it's tightening spending while cutting property tax rates another 20 basis points. The 10-year capital plan tops $1 billion, with 55% going to streets, and nearly half the operating budget goes to public safety.
City Council (Work) — April 23, 2026
The proposed $181.2 million CIP puts 55% toward streets, including SR 238, Sonoran Desert Parkway Phase 2, loop road concepts, and the SR 347 payment to ADOT. The city's $30 million revenue bond closed on favorable terms, saving about $5 million in interest for future road projects.
