Show Low City Council Meeting for 5-5-26

The City of Show Low held a City Council meeting on May 5, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved a zoning ordinance amendment for a planned unit development, reflecting ongoing urban development. They awarded a contract for additional repairs to Well 10 to Willis Management Enterprises for $59,232.29, addressing water infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, the council awarded a construction contract for the Aquatic Center parking lot expansion to Perkins Senders Incorporated for $167,301.92, a capital improvement project included in the 2026 fiscal year budget. The council also discussed a grant-funded initiative to purchase bear-resistant garbage cans to reduce human-bear conflicts, with $130,000 in grant funds secured and a proposal to use up to $350,000 in council contingency funds for additional cans. However, the council voted to deny using contingency funds for this purpose and directed staff to work with Waste Management to maximize the grant and explore other solutions. Presentations included updates on wildfire mitigation efforts by APS and Navajo County, as well as recognitions of local high school robotics and state champion athletes. The meeting concluded with community event announcements and acknowledgments of city staff efforts.
