The City Council of Goodyear held a regular meeting on March 24, 2025, which included public comments, zoning discussions, budget amendments, and presentations on community development and public art initiatives. Key procurement-related topics included approval of budget amendments related to development impact fees, authorization for grant applications to support park improvements such as relocating the dog park within Goodyear Community Park, and the adoption of the fiscal year 2026 annual public art plan. The council discussed a significant rezoning request for the Celebrate Plaza area involving commercial and multifamily development, with debate over drive-through restrictions and the balance of retail and residential uses. The council voted to approve budget amendments and the public art plan, with plans for future capital improvement projects integrating public art into city infrastructure.

The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for legal and negotiation matters related to employee contracts, land acquisition, and intergovernmental agreements.
