# Special Town Council Meeting - November 9th, 2026

The Town of Sahuarita Special Town Council Meeting was held November 10, 2026 (the meeting title identifies November 9). The council approved a Growita grant and related budget amendment, accepting $98,000 from Freeport-McMoRan for program expansion and improvements to the town’s business-support hub, and $8,000 from Vantage West Credit Union for hub support and technical assistance to local business owners. Staff also said they expected to solicit construction quotes in November for improvements to a parking lot and the addition of pickleball courts, with construction anticipated to begin in January; no contract award was made. A public hearing was held on the proposed annexation of property for a planned Arizona Center for Nature Conservation facility, operated by the Phoenix Zoo, but the council took no action. Staff expects to bring an intergovernmental agreement forward in December. The county is considering a regional bond question for 2027, with no town funding decision reported.

The council also adopted ordinances establishing rules for electric bicycles and similar devices and a parks and recreation cost-recovery and fee-setting framework; the latter sets guidance for future fee recommendations but does not approve specific fees or amounts. The council approved its 2027 meeting schedule. No other procurement awards were identified.
