City Council Regular Meeting - 09/14/2026

The City Council of Goodyear held a regular meeting on September 14, 2026, which included public comments and work sessions focused on city infrastructure and resource management. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the Fire Resource Management Building project, funded by a 2023 voter-approved bond. The project, currently in design, has an estimated total cost of approximately $31.14 million, including $1.76 million allocated for design in FY26 and $26 million planned for construction, with additional funds for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and IT. The council discussed the building's features, construction timeline, and potential for future expansion, with plans to include covered apparatus bays and modern amenities to improve operational efficiency. The project is expected to be incorporated into the city's five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and budget process for final funding approval. Additionally, the council received a strategic plan update on increasing the use of non-potable water sources for park irrigation. While no immediate funding requests were made, staff outlined opportunities, challenges, and cost considerations related to alternative water use, with plans to bring detailed project proposals through the normal budget and CIP processes. No votes were taken on funding during this meeting, but motions were passed to approve consent agenda items including budget amendments and intergovernmental agreements.
