Town Council Meeting - May 26, 2026

The Town of Sahuarita held a council meeting on May 26, 2026, which included sessions for the Rancho Cerita and Quail Creek Community Facilities Districts. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the adoption of tentative budgets for fiscal year 2027 for both districts, with presentations by the district treasurer detailing property valuations, bond issuances, tax rates, and debt service obligations. The Rancho Cerita district reported a $37.8 million property valuation and $1.88 million in property tax revenue, while Quail Creek showed a $57.4 million valuation with a reduced tax rate resulting in lower homeowner costs. The town council also reviewed and adopted the town's overall tentative budget for fiscal year 2027, totaling approximately $109.8 million, including allocations for capital projects such as the Campbell Avenue Extension, police department building improvements, and road infrastructure funded partly by federal discretionary funds and local sources. Additionally, the council approved a liquor license transfer for a 7-Eleven location and discussed zoning code amendments related to non-conforming uses. Public comments heavily focused on environmental and community concerns regarding a proposed copper mine project, but no direct procurement actions related to the mine were taken. The meeting included updates on community services, infrastructure projects, and a citizen survey highlighting resident satisfaction and priorities.
