Welcome to the Live Stream of the Goodyear City Council Work Session - 05/11/2026

The City of Goodyear held a City Council Work Session on May 11, 2026, focusing primarily on the city's comprehensive water strategy and road safety action plan. The water strategy discussion included past and ongoing water conservation programs, leak detection, water reuse initiatives, and future projects such as advanced water purification and potential capital improvements related to water infrastructure. Council members discussed innovative ideas like a water cap-and-trade system and rate restructuring to encourage conservation without penalizing users. The session also addressed concerns about water availability amid Colorado River negotiations and the impact of industrial users like data centers. Additionally, the council received an update on the road safety action plan, highlighting data-driven strategies to reduce traffic fatalities, improve bicycle and pedestrian safety, and address speeding and aggressive driving. The plan will guide future capital projects and policy updates, with further council feedback and formal adoption expected later in the year. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but future capital projects related to water infrastructure and road safety were noted as potential budget items.
