[Archived] Town Council Regular Meeting - Thursday, October 8, 2026

The Town of Prescott Valley Town Council regular meeting was held October 8, 2026. The council approved two agreements for the aquatic and indoor recreation facility project, CIP CF2503: architectural services with Grace Design Studios LLC for $2,743,902, plus a $50,000 owner contingency, and a construction manager at risk agreement with CORE Construction Inc. for $349,476. The project is being planned in two scopes around $16 million in currently available funding and an additional $14 million contingent on the November election; construction pricing and a guaranteed maximum price will come back to council later. The council also held a public hearing on development impact fees. Staff said updated fees may be delayed until 2029 under recent state legislation and outside counsel’s advice; the fee schedule is expected to return for consideration in November. Separately, council approved a notice of intent to increase water and wastewater capacity charges, with a public hearing and possible action scheduled for December 10, 2026; the charges fund infrastructure capacity, not monthly utility rates.

Council approved the Stone Ridge cell tower-related general plan amendment and zoning map change. It postponed action on the proposed AT&T/Alignex lease for equipment at Pronghorn Park until the November 12 meeting, allowing residents additional time to review records and raise concerns; no lease approval or award was made. The meeting also included approval of a resolution supporting local and regional stormwater infiltration and recharge projects, with staff noting it did not commit the town to a specific expenditure. Other enacted items included e-bike and floodplain-management code amendments and a parking-authority amendment; no procurement action was identified for those items.
