City Council Regular Meeting | Oct 5, 2026

The City of Casa Grande City Council regular meeting, identified in the title as October 5, 2026, approved three infrastructure-related procurements. By unanimous roll-call votes, the council adopted Resolution 5974 awarding Sunland Asphalt and Construction LLC the annual pavement preservation program, and Resolution 5975 accepting the company’s bid for the PM10 response plan to pave five miles of dirt roads each year. It also approved Resolution 5976 awarding Ellison Mills Contracting LLC construction-manager-at-risk preconstruction services for the Courts and Road Improvements project, Colorado Street to Pier Road, for an amount not to exceed $43,310. The project includes work on the south two lanes and a turn lane; staff estimated the construction budget at roughly $2–3 million but said they would provide the current figure. The project was expected to be completed in early 2027. Council members also requested the missing CMR checklist and additional budget information, and discussed confirming the developer’s completed obligations at the intersection.

The council received, but took no action on, Charter Review Committee recommendations for potential May 2027 ballot questions. Procurement-relevant proposals include eliminating the second reading of ordinances and allowing council to set the dollar threshold for using a resolution rather than an ordinance, which the committee said could shorten the process for lower-cost purchases by about 30 days. Other proposed amendments include removing the 24-month cap on city manager employment contracts to support recruitment. Staff planned to bring a resolution on the ballot questions to the November 16 meeting. The council also considered an authorization for the fire chief to apply for an ambulance-rate adjustment; the transcript ends before a vote is recorded.
