Top issues during term (20)
Timothy McKay Memorial Park completion
The City's primary current improvement project, expected to be completed next year.
Parks and Facilities Maintenance City-Wide
$25,415 for the three-year contract, expected to reduce costly emergency repair bills.
Show Low Sports and Event Center Design
The design trim is conservatively estimated to save about $500,000.
Paradise Acres apartment expansion
No direct city cost, but the developer and city are discussing workforce housing infrastructure contributions.
Guest house at 1060 N. Fairway Circle
No direct cost to the city is listed.
Financing the Show Low Sports and Event Center
A $56.4 million total project estimate, up about $5 million from the original concept.
Committee Member Vacancy
Your parks budget and rec fees now sit with a new director, so watch for spending and program changes.
Downtown revitalization and 10-year strategic plan
Projected trail-user spending of up to $90,000-$100,000 per day across participating towns, with Show Low expected among the highest-benefit communities.
Shipping container at 1231 E. Deuce of Clubs
The applicant bears fence and repainting costs, and the city may share fencing costs along its boundary; nearby property values and downtown revitalization efforts are at stake.
Flores and North Drive Waterline Replacement
The $899,223 contract came in about $124,000 under the engineer's estimate and well within the $1.4 million budgeted.
Jarmco Concrete crushing operation on Penrod Road
80-foot public right-of-way through the gravel pit
The right-of-way is dedicated by the property owner; the city is responsible for drainage in public rights-of-way.
WW Clyde rock processing operations under new ownership
Resurfacing the racetrack parking lots to full paving standards would carry significant cost, but the city allows a gravel exception.
FY 2026-27 Tentative Budget
The tentative budget totals $168,580, funded mainly by assessment billings of about $58,642 a year on property owners in the district.
Maverik fueling station expansion on Penrod Road
Six employees of the existing tenant shop could lose their workplace; the development itself brings construction and commercial investment to the east end.
Mountain bike trail easement with U.S. Forest Service
Grant funding would be sought for design and environmental study once the easement is secured.
Human-bear conflicts and bear-resistant trash containers
$130,000 in grant funds will still purchase roughly 400 carts; the $350,000 contingency request was rejected.
School resource officer at Linden Elementary
No alternate pension contribution rate is required, so the rehire adds salary costs but no special pension surcharge.
Outdoor Camping Regulation Ordinance
Cleanup of abandoned encampments has cost the city dumpster hauls and public works time; the ordinance aims to reduce that.
Show Low Car Show and Rodeo Season Events
