City Council Voting Meeting - May 26th 2026

The City Council of Prescott held a voting meeting on May 26, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related items. Key discussions included approval of night work for pipeline installation on SR 89, acceptance of public easements for the citywide small water mains phase two project, and the 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan. The CDBG plan, funded by $265,856 in federal dollars, was approved to support various construction and public service projects, including a new down payment assistance program for low-to-moderate income residents. The council also reviewed and approved a new special events sponsorship policy aimed at providing structured funding for signature tourism events, with funding tied to economic impact studies and contracts up to five years. Additionally, the council adopted a city-wide fee schedule for fiscal year 2027, including adjustments to airport fees, recreation services, and emergency response fees, with some fees pending further review and implementation later in the year. Motions related to these items were passed unanimously, reflecting a focus on transparent funding allocation and economic development through tourism and community programs.
