City Council Study Session | May 4, 2026

The City Council Study Session for the City of Casa Grande held on May 4, 2026, focused primarily on a water conservation study presented by a team from Arizona State University's School of Sustainability. The presentation included an analysis of current water conservation goals, peer city comparisons, economic and housing growth scenarios, and detailed code recommendations aimed at reducing water use. Key procurement-related recommendations involved updating landscaping and plumbing codes, implementing irrigation standards, turf restrictions, and establishing rebate programs to encourage water conservation. The council discussed the potential for a dedicated water conservation specialist to champion these initiatives. Additionally, the session included a legislative update on various bills affecting municipal governance, including those related to development fees, zoning, and public safety, with some bills potentially impacting future city procurement and regulatory authority. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this meeting.
