The City of Show Low City Council held a meeting on September 1, 2026, during which several procurement and contract matters were addressed. The council approved the acceptance of the Timothy McKay Memorial parking lot and walking path project, including a change order of $23,334.83 to address unexpected base material issues, bringing the total project cost to $741,669.83. They also awarded a contract to Lehas Corporation for the Timothy McKay Memorial Park play mound and water feature project, with a contract amount not to exceed $260,000. Significant discussion focused on the Xolo Sports and Event Center project, including approval of a $426,871 change order to increase design costs due to an expanded building size and site, and approval of a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract amendment of $4,164,680 for preliminary grading and steel purchase.

Motions related to these contracts and amendments were passed, with one dissenting vote on the design cost increase.
