# 20260922 Regular Board of Supervisors Meeting

The Cochise County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on September 22, 2026, addressing several procurement and land use matters. Key procurement-related actions included approval of multiple funding agreements and grants, such as a $2.38 million agreement with the Arizona Supreme Court for adult probation and juvenile court services, a $241,241 public health emergency preparedness grant from the Arizona Department of Health Services, and a $262,000 911 funding assistance program with the Arizona Department of Administration for Southeastern Arizona Communications. The board also approved a resolution authorizing the use of eminent domain to acquire easements and rights of way necessary for the James Ranch Road project, part of the new commercial international port of entry infrastructure, with negotiations ongoing with private landowners. Additionally, zoning and comprehensive plan amendments were discussed and approved, including rezoning a 26-acre parcel near Douglas from residential to general business district to facilitate commercial development, and a 6-acre parcel rezoning to allow alternative building methods. Public concerns were raised about notification processes for zoning changes and potential impacts on residents. The board emphasized transparency and community engagement in future development. No new contracts or vendor selections were announced during the meeting.
