City Council Regular Meeting - 11/04/2024

The City Council of Goodyear held a regular meeting on November 4, 2024, where several procurement and contracting matters were addressed. The council approved expenditures up to $690,000 for a capital improvement project involving the Bard Water Campus pre-filter replacement. They also discussed and approved placing franchise agreements with Epcore Water Arizona and Liberty Utilities on the May 20, 2025 special election ballot. These 25-year franchise agreements would grant the utilities rights to construct, maintain, and operate water and wastewater infrastructure within the city's rights-of-way, with provisions for relocation and restoration at the utilities' expense. The council also formally called the special election for May 2025 to include these franchise agreements and charter amendments, with election costs shared between the city and utilities. Additionally, the council approved annexations of properties to facilitate road improvements related to the Stream Data Center project. No other procurement-related votes or contract awards were noted during the meeting.
