Pima County Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting - September 22, 2026

The Pima County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on September 22, 2026, addressing a variety of community and governance issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a contract with the Southern Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to administer a business safety and beautification grant program for small businesses, funded by proceeds from the sale of Project Blue. The board approved the contract with provisions allowing monthly payments to expedite fund distribution. Additionally, the board adopted a 120-day moratorium on new data center developments in unincorporated Pima County to allow time for a zoning code text amendment and incorporation of a public health impact framework developed by the county health department. The moratorium aims to ensure comprehensive evaluation of environmental and community health impacts before approving data center projects. Other procurement-related items included a resolution authorizing potential condemnation of property for road widening and approval of additional early ballot drop-off sites for the 2026 general election. The board also discussed future agenda items related to short-term crisis and emergency resource grants and a policy on proclamations to manage meeting efficiency. Several proclamations recognizing community service and educational initiatives were presented, but no direct contract awards beyond the Hispanic Chamber contract were noted.
