[Archived] Town Council Regular Meeting - Thursday, September 10, 2026

The Town Council Regular Meeting of Prescott Valley, AZ, held on September 10, 2026, included extensive public commentary on ethics and conduct policies for elected officials and commissioners. A significant portion of the meeting focused on discussions about adopting an enforceable code of conduct and ethics policy to ensure accountability and professionalism among public officials. Council members debated the merits and challenges of enforcement mechanisms, with some advocating for clear standards and consequences, while others expressed concerns about potential divisiveness and limited enforcement powers under state law. Procurement-related actions included approval of two professional services agreements: one for $243,650 with Lyon Engineering for the design of the Viewpoint Multi-Use Path project, and another for $251,110 with Ardura Group for the Bradshaw Mountain Road Bridge erosion mitigation project. Additionally, the council authorized acceptance of an $11,524 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice for police protective equipment. No votes were taken on the ethics policy revisions, with plans to revisit the topic at a future retreat. The meeting also included routine appointments and updates to the town's tax code.
