The City Council of Casa Grande held a regular meeting on May 4, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included approval of a lease agreement with KCGZ Investments for eight airport hangar lots at the Casa Grande Municipal Airport, authorizing construction and use of private aircraft hangars with a 30-year lease term. The council also approved an ordinance authorizing acquisition of real property for the South Burris Road and Peters Road development project, including potential condemnation actions, with an appraised value of approximately $20,607. Additionally, the council adopted the FY 2027 tentative budget, which includes a $35 million bond issuance for capital projects, a personnel budget increase to $68.7 million, and $50.9 million allocated for new capital improvement projects, notably infrastructure and quality of life projects. The council also approved the city's effluent allocation strategy to manage treated wastewater for industrial and residential use. Public comments focused heavily on the proposed intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the elementary school district to allow police access to school security cameras managed by Flock Safety, with concerns raised about privacy, data security, and transparency. Despite opposition, the council approved the resolution supporting the IGA. The meeting concluded with approval of the city's annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) action plan for funding public services and infrastructure improvements.
