City of Flagstaff Council Meeting - September 15, 2026

The City of Flagstaff Council held a regular meeting on September 15, 2026, with several key procurement and policy discussions. A major procurement decision involved the approval of a cooperative purchase contract with VersaTerm Public Safety Inc. for a new computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management system (RMS) for the Police and Fire Departments and regional partners. The contract, valued at approximately $2.06 million for implementation and ongoing services, was awarded through the City of Mesa's contract and aims to replace a legacy system with a modern, secure, and integrated platform. The council also considered zoning code amendments to introduce a new Planned Community (PC) zoning district to support mixed land uses and housing diversity, with public input and concerns about oversight and potential impacts discussed. Additionally, the council adopted updated 2024 building, fire, and energy codes with amendments to balance safety, sustainability, and housing affordability. Another significant policy adoption was the curbside management plan, aimed at optimizing parking operations, technology upgrades, and customer experience enhancements. Lastly, the council discussed proposed changes to the water conservation ordinance, including expanded regulations on reclaimed water use, restrictions on artificial lakes, and potential fines, with further review planned. Several public comments and council questions addressed equity, enforcement, and community impacts throughout the meeting.
