Gila County BOS Meeting

The Gila County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on January 20, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. The board voted to continue an appeal hearing due to a conflict of interest with the county attorney's office and the need to hire outside counsel. Additionally, the board reviewed the results of a public surplus online auction that sold 24 properties, generating a net profit of $45,690.88, with proceeds distributed to taxing authorities. The board also approved contract CTR076526-G1 with BWS Architects Incorporated for architectural and engineering services related to the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat Multi-use Building and an ADA-compliant cabin, with a contract amount not to exceed $250,144. This contract covers the design phase to develop scope and cost estimates, positioning the county for future construction when funding becomes available. The board emphasized the importance of legal review before contract approval and discussed the project timeline and scope, including the addition of a community building and a standalone ADA cabin.
