City Council Regular Meeting - 03/03/2025

The City Council of Goodyear held a regular meeting on March 3, 2025, which included several recognitions of local high school sports teams for their achievements. The council approved appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Arts and Culture Commission. Public comments focused on support for local public schools and water conservation efforts. The council approved a resolution supporting grant applications from various nonprofit organizations serving Goodyear residents. A significant procurement-related discussion involved approving an engineering, procurement, and construction agreement for a brine disposal project in partnership with the City of Buckeye and APS. This project, already budgeted at $9.2 million for the fiscal year, aims to improve water treatment and disposal by redirecting poor-quality water to a regional facility, thereby increasing capacity and efficiency. The council unanimously approved the agreement and authorized the city manager to execute necessary documents. The meeting concluded with community event updates and scheduling the next meeting for March 17, 2025.
