| Consideration and Approval of Contract: Job Order Construction Contract with Schofield Civil Construction, LLC in the amount of $706,173.90 to install a new Screw Press at Wildcat Hill Reclamation Plant to aid in the dewatering of Solids. |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| Request approval of a Job Order Contract Contract with Schofield Civil Construction LLC for the installation of a new wastewater solids dewatering screw press at the Wildcat Hill Reclamation Plant. This contract includes all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, utilities, services, and facilities required for the project. The new screw press will enhance solids dewatering, enabling it to meet disposal standards for the dedicated land disposal (DLD) field. This equipment will replace the temporary Geo Bag program, which was originally implemented as an interim solution. Installing the screw press will increase efficiency by reducing costs associated with purchasing Geo Bags ($3,500 each), lowering operator labor (two operators, at least two days per bag at approximately $25 per hour), using less polymer, and eliminating landfill fees for Geo Bag disposal. The plant currently uses about six Geo Bags per year, but use is nearly impossible in winter months. The new screw press will operate year-round, further improving efficiency. The project is expected to save approximately $200,000 over ten years and free up hundreds of operator hours for other tasks at the plant. Additionally, the screw press will help reduce solids in the sludge stabilization lagoons, allowing for offline repairs and maintenance. Water Services is also exploring the use of this equipment to assist with the rehabilitation of the Wildcat Digesters. |

| The GeoBag program was implemented as a temporary solution for solids handling. Over the past ten years, Water Services has evaluated numerous alternatives. The screw press has emerged as the most efficient and cost-effective option identified to date. Wildcat staff evaluated five different screw press options and recommended that Schofield Civil Construction LLC, the lowest bidder in the Job Order Contract process, install the Greener Day Solutions MD-402. This model includes an enclosure and a hopper, eliminating the need for future add-ons and making it the most cost-effective choice. The MD-402 features built-in redundancy, allowing for maintenance and repairs without completely shutting down dewatering operations. Additionally, Greener Day is an Arizona-based company known for responsive service and support, and a similar unit is already in use at the Nestlé Purina plant in Flagstaff. | |||||

| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| The existing metal roof system at City Hall has reached the end of its useful service life and is experiencing ongoing failures that have resulted in water intrusion, increased maintenance costs, and concerns regarding the protection of the facility and its occupants. Multiple repairs have been performed over the years; however, these repairs have become increasingly ineffective as the roofing system continues to deteriorate. City Hall serves as a critical public facility and houses essential municipal operations, public-facing services, and administrative functions. Continued degradation of the roof poses a risk to building infrastructure, equipment, records, and uninterrupted delivery of services to the community. Replacement of the roof is necessary to prevent further damage, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and ensure the continued functionality and resilience of this important public asset. This purchase is made through the 1GPA (1 Government Procurement Alliance) cooperative purchasing program under CPN AZ-26-05P-04-308801, an established, competitively solicited contract. FiveOliver, LLC DBA Oliver Roofing Systems is an authorized in-network contractor under the WTI National Cooperative Contractor Network and a Tremco-certified applicator (AZ ROC #324621). |

| The metal roof at City Hall, has reached the end of its useful service life. The roof has experienced normal wear and deterioration, resulting in increased maintenance needs and localized leaks. Facilities staff have performed repairs as needed and these repairs are no longer a cost-effective long-term solution. A recent assessment determined that full roof replacement is necessary to protect the building, preserve City assets, and ensure the continued operation of critical public services. Replacing the roof now will reduce the risk of future water damage, improve building resiliency, and provide a reliable roofing system for decades to come. The work is procured through the 1GPA cooperative purchasing program (CPN AZ-26-05P-04-308801) via the WTI National Cooperative Contractor Network. The scope includes project specific wind uplift engineering per ASCE 7-16, manufacturer sealed attachment calculations, full removal and replacement of the standing seam assembly with new underlayment, trim, flashings, and closeout documentation, all installed by a Tremco-certified applicator. The City procurement staff verified and created a cooperative contract to utilize the FiveOliver, LLC DBA Oliver Roofing Systems services through 1GPA. |

| The proposed contract is a cooperative purchase that relies on City of Tucson Service Agreement No. 260157-01, which Tucson awarded to Kimball Midwest following a competitive Request for Proposal process (RFP 260157-01). Arizona procurement code and the City Procurement Code authorize the City to make purchases through cooperative agreements that another public agency has already competitively bid. Using the Tucson agreement satisfies competitive procurement requirements and saves staff time and cost. All terms, conditions, and pricing of the underlying Tucson agreement apply to this contract. Kimball Midwest is required to notify the City in writing of any price changes, and any price adjustment requires a formal amendment approved through the City's standard process. Approval of the contract gives Fleet Services a consistent, on-demand source for the shop supplies which keep repair operations running. Purchases will be made by individual invoice as needs arise, against the established cooperative pricing. The annual not-to-exceed amount is $62,000, including fees and taxes. Any single amendment that would bring the total contract value to $100,000 or more would return to Council; amendments below that threshold may be approved administratively by the City Manager or designee. The initial term is three years, with up to two additional one-year renewal terms available by mutual written consent. The City Manager or the Purchasing Director may approve renewals. |

| Background and History: | |||||
| In 2013, Northern Arizona University and the US Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) presented a Paired Watershed Study to the Lake Mary-Walnut Canyon Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC agreed the project was important to start before Flagstaff Watershed Protection Project (FWPP) and Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI) treatment projects as useful baseline information. TAC agreed to purchase the Flowtography equipment and funded a U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gauge and sediment sampler in Newman Canyon. The three parties (City of Flagstaff, US Forest Service, National Park Service) approved the recommended action, and the equipment was purchased and installed. After one year, the plan for the Paired Watershed Study partners to take over the operation, maintenance, and data management for the flowtography equipment from SRP could not be fulfilled, which left the project at risk. One of the partners, RMRS, provided a letter on October 21, 2015, stating that they fully support Water Services maintaining the contract since they were not successful in taking over the monitoring duties. Seven sub-watersheds of the Upper Lake Mary watershed have sites actively instrumented with SRP Flowtography (TM) Stations and a pressure transducer. Pressure transducers measure the height of the water column flowing over them to determine the volume of flow moving through the channel at that time. Flowtography stations capture a photo every 15 minutes focused on a graduated vertical stake placed in the center of the drainage channel. During runoff events the photos taken at the stations capture the water height against the graduated stake which provides an additional estimate of flow and volume, as well as a visual understanding of flow through these channels. Stream flow rates and volume data are compared with precipitation data to establish a rainfall-runoff relationship for the watershed. Staff anticipates this work resulting from the JE Fuller contract to cooperatively inform and support a larger research effort of the Paired Watershed Study underway by Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University which aims to research the hydrological response that different forest thinning treatments and maintenance practices have on runoff and recharge. Sufficient baseline monitoring information gained from these projects is needed to contribute to future recommendations on watershed management practices that promote surface water runoff to Upper Lake Mary and recharge to the C-aquifer, both of which are important water resources for the City of Flagstaff. Pinal County conducted a competitive and open procurement process through a solicitation that resulted in Contract No. 262731SOQ with JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc. The City of Flagstaff Procurement department has verified the cooperative purchase contract as valid and appropriate and presents the best value to the City. |

| Background and History: | |||||
| Butler Avenue is a four-lane minor arterial that provides important east-west connectivity south of the BNSF railroad. The corridor intersects with multiple existing and planned bikeways, connecting routes to multiple destinations. Construction of the Butler Avenue Complete Streets project will help anchor the City's expanding active transportation infrastructure and encourage bicycling for a broader segment of the City's population. The primary goal of the Project is to improve multimodal safety and mobility by providing complete streets in accordance with the City's 2022 Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP). In December 2023, the City was awarded a $9.6 million Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant from the US Department of Transportation for the Butler Avenue Complete Streets project. The grant funding covers construction of the separated and elevated bike lanes, crossing improvements at Humphreys Street and O'Leary Street, and protected intersections at Beaver Street, San Francisco Street, and Sawmill Road. The Project is included as part of the City's Transportation Tax Proposition 419 program. Purchasing staff issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RSOQ) solicitation for engineering professional services Phase 1-Environmental and Phase 2-Final Design Services, and it was published on PlanetBids, the City of Flagstaff's Bidding platform, on May 23, 2025, and closed the request on June 24, 2025. The City received five (5) Statements of Qualifications from engineering consultant firms. A five-member Selection Committee that consisted of City staff and one local contractor reviewed and evaluated the statements. The evaluation committee moved forward with interviewing the highest scoring firms. Based upon the numerical scoring of the SOQ's from interview, the Selection Committee recommended negotiation of a scope and fee proposal with WSP USA, Inc. Phase 1 was negotiated and approved on October 21, 2025, and was completed in Spring of 2026. |

| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| The Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (Airport) is seeking City Council approval and ratification for the purchase of a refurbished Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle for $304,470 plus applicable taxes using funds from the Infrastructure Reserve Account. The purchase of this vehicle was reviewed and approved by the Fleet Management Committee and City Manager's Budget Team. This purchase is urgently needed for the Airport to maintain ARFF coverage to support commercial air carrier operations as required by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Airport is required to keep two ARFF vehicles in service at all times to meet this requirement and operates two frontline ARFF vehicles with a third vehicle in reserve. If the Airport falls below the minimum of two ARFF vehicles in service, all scheduled airline flights would have to be canceled until ARFF coverage is restored. One of the Airport's frontline vehicles suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure in February 2026 and is not expected to be repaired for at least several more months. The loss of this vehicle leaves the Airport at risk of not meeting its ARFF requirements if either of the two remaining vehicles are taken out of service. The addition of the 2004 Oshkosh T1500 will bring the Airport's fleet back to three usable vehicles and will allow vehicles to be removed from service for repairs or maintenance while still providing the minimum coverage for airline operations. |

| Background and History: | |||||
| The Airport is required to maintain Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Index B coverage as defined in Title 14 CFR Part 139 based on the size and frequency of scheduled commercial air carrier aircraft serving the Airport. To meet that requirement and the associated amount of firefighting agent and water, the Airport must keep two ARFF vehicles in service at all times. If the Airport is not able to provide two vehicles to maintain ARFF Index B coverage, it has 48 hours to restore two vehicles to service or cancel air carrier operations that require the ARFF Index until the trucks are available. Typically, the Airport maintains two frontline ARFF Trucks (2020 Rosenbauer Panther and 2004 Oshkosh Striker 1500) and one reserve truck (1989 International). The 2004 Oshkosh Striker 1500 has been experiencing issues with its foam application system that made it non-compliant with federal requirements. In February 2026, while attempting repairs to the foam system, the truck suffered a catastrophic failure of its hydraulic system and was taken out of service. Replacement parts have been ordered but are still waiting to be shipped, and the full extent and duration of the repairs are not fully known. According to the Fleet Section, the truck is not expected to return to service for at least several more months. If the foam system repair is not successful, the truck may not be suitable to return to service. The reserve ARFF truck is also experiencing mechanical issues and will need to be taken out of service for repairs which cannot be completed without a replacement vehicle. Both remaining ARFF vehicles have experienced extended time out of service in the past two years due to mechanical failures. If that happens again before a replacement truck is in service, all commercial airline service to the airport is at risk of cancellation. Airport and Fleet staff explored several options for additional ARFF trucks to maintain the required ARFF Index, including: borrowing or renting a truck from another department or airport, renting a truck from a commercial ARFF truck provider, and salvaging parts from decommissioned vehicles to expedite repairs to the 2004 Oshkosh Striker 1500, and purchasing a used or refurbished ARFF truck. Ultimately, staff contacted airports across the state but were unable to find any departments with trucks available to rent or borrow. Additionally, the only commercial ARFF rental company who responded to inquiries does not have any trucks available (and annual rental costs would have been in excess of $130,000), and no suitable salvage parts to expedite repairs to our existing truck were found. Staff also explored used and refurbished ARFF trucks from dealerships across the country. Staff found several possible replacements at a dealership called Truck Site in Sacramento, CA that could be placed into service quickly. Airport and Fleet staff traveled to the dealership and inspected three vehicles. One of the three vehicles met all capacity and capability requirements and was determined to be suitable for purchase. This vehicle is a 2004 Oshkosh T1500 ARFF truck that has recently been refurbished. The purchase of this truck will allow the airport to maintain its mandated ARFF coverage and continue supporting commercial airline operations at the Airport. If this vehicle is not purchased, the ARFF trucks in service now will not be able to undergo any significant maintenance, and any mechanical failures on either truck may result in extended cancellation of commercial airline service at the Airport. Due to the urgent nature and tight timeline for the purchase of this ARFF vehicle, the Purchasing Director determined there would not be sufficient time to conduct a formal solicitation. Therefore, the Purchasing Director deemed this to be a Competition Impracticable procurement pursuant to the Arizona State Procurement Code Chapter 23 R2-7-E303 "Competition Impracticable Procurements" and Article 4 "Competition Impracticable" of the City of Flagstaff Procurement Code Manual procurement. |

Retroactively approve the letter. |
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| City staff received a request to voice the City's opposition to HB2460 (business property; theft; penalties; prohibition) and send a letter to Governor Hobbs requesting she veto the bill. The bill would prohibit cities from enforcing a penalty that imposes fines for abandoned movable property that belongs to a business that is found off their property. While the bill specifically targets shopping carts, its broad definition of “movable property” creates real uncertainty for Flagstaff’s growing micromobility systems. Shared scooters will become an important transportation option in our community, but they can obstruct sidewalks, ADA routes, and trails when not properly collected. By limiting the City’s ability to hold companies accountable for retrieval and staging, the bill could hinder Flagstaff’s ability to manage future micromobility services safely and effectively. | |||||

| Consideration and Approval of Agreement: Partial Satisfaction of Reimbursement Agreement with CBAR 19 Flagstaff, LLC in the amount of $112,486.43 related to the City's proportional share of the construction costs of Kitty Hawk Lane. |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
Approve the Partial Satisfaction of Reimbursement Agreement with CBAR 19 Flagstaff, LLC in the amount of $112,486.43. |
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| The City and CBAR 19 Flagstaff, LLC (“CBAR”) entered in a lease agreement dated April 13, 2005, for the development of 1.27 acres of real property situated within a portion of Tract 7B of the Pulliam Airport Airpark Unit 1, Amended Subdivision adjacent to Pulliam Airport in Flagstaff, Arizona (“Development”). As part of the Development approval, the City required that CBAR construct and dedicate to the City an access road generally located on Tract 7B and now named Kitty Hawk Lane. The total cost of constructing Kitty Hawk Lane was $337,493.04. Through a separate reimbursement agreement dated May 28, 2009 (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), the City agreed to require future lessees and purchasers of property that abuts and accesses Kitty Hawk Lane to reimburse CBAR for their proportionate shares of the road construction costs. The Reimbursement Agreement provides that the City and CBAR agree to use an allocation mechanism of 33.33% for CBAR’s proportionate share and 66.67% for the remaining proportionate share to future lessees and purchasers, with CBAR’s proportionate cost being $112,486.43 and CBAR’s reimbursement amount being $225,006.61. The City further agreed to collect the applicable proportionate development costs from future land purchasers and lessees and reimburse the same to CBAR. The City has constructed a parking lot that abuts and accesses Kitty Hawk Lane, and CBAR and the City agree that this construction triggers the reimbursement obligation under the Reimbursement Agreement. The City parking lot abuts approximately half of the vacant frontage that remained after construction of the Development. Accordingly, the City and CBAR agree that City’s reimbursement obligation will be 33.33% of the total cost of constructing Kitty Hawk Lane, which amounts to $112,486.43. The Partial Satisfaction of Reimbursement Agreement, which is still being reviewed by CBAR and will be attached to the Final Agenda, memorializes the City’s payment and reimbursement to CBAR for the City’s proportional share of the construction costs of Kitty Hawk Lane. |

| If approved, the City will pay $112,486.43 to CBAR for the City’s proportional share of the construction costs of Kitty Hawk Lane. The reimbursement is budgeted in account 221-07-221-0880-0-4290 for $112,486 and funded via General Fund transfer. | |||||

| TITLE: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2026-13: An ordinance levying upon the assessed valuation of the property within the City of Flagstaff, Arizona, subject to taxation a certain sum upon each one hundred dollars ($100.00) of valuation sufficient to raise the amount estimated to be required in the annual budget, less the amount estimated to be received from other sources of revenue; providing funds for various bond redemptions, for the purpose of paying interest upon bonded indebtedness and providing funds for general municipal expenses, all for the Fiscal Year ending the 30th day of June 2027. (Primary and secondary property tax levies for FY 2026-27). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The City Council is required to consider a motion to levy increased primary property taxes over the preceding year's tax levy plus new construction, by roll call vote, per A.R.S. Section 42-17107. The City Council is required to fix and levy the amount to be raised from property taxation after the adoption of the final budget, per A.R.S. Section 42-17151. The final budget is anticipated to be adopted on June 16, 2026. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Financial Impact: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The City is proposing a primary property tax levy of $7,767,483 on existing properties, plus an increased levy of $34,014 on new construction, for a total primary property tax levy in FY 2026-27 of $7,801,497. The primary property tax rate to support this levy is 0.6207 per $100 of assessed valuation (an increase of 0.0162 over the prior year). The proposed levy is less than the maximum allowable primary property tax levy allowed for FY 2026-27, which is $8,383,436. The City is proposing a secondary property tax levy of $9,552,341 in FY 2026-27 on existing properties and new construction. The proposed secondary property tax rate is 0.7600 per $100 of net assessed valuation (a decrease of 0.0400 over the prior year). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Policy Impact: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adoption of the proposed property tax levies will generate revenues to help fund the community needs as identified in the FY 2026-27 Final Budget and policies reflected therein. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Previous Council Decision or Community Discussion: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Options and Alternatives to Recommended Action: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1) Adopt the primary and secondary property tax rates as proposed. 2) Adopt lower primary and secondary property tax rates than proposed. 3) Adopt higher secondary property tax rates than proposed, however, Council can not increase the primary property tax rates due to Truth in Taxation Notice publication deadlines or other legal considerations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Background and History: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Primary property tax revenues may be used for all purposes. Primary property tax levies are limited, per A.R.S. Section 42-17051. The City has the ability to increase the amount received from the primary property tax levy by a maximum of 2% each year excluding new construction. The maximum allowable increase for FY 2026-27 is 14.0%. FY 2026-27 proposed primary property tax levy is set at $7,801,497, which is less than the maximum allowable levy of $8,383,436. Primary property tax levies are also subject to Truth in Taxation notice and hearing requirements, per A.R.S. Section 42-17107. On or before February 10 of each year, the county assessor must transmit to each city and town an estimate of the total net assessed valuation of the city, including new property added to the tax roll. If the proposed primary tax levy amount, excluding amounts attributable to new construction, is greater than the levy amount in the previous year, the city must follow the Truth in Taxation procedures. It is important to note that it is the levy amount and not the rate which triggers the Truth in Taxation procedures. The proposed FY2026-27 primary tax levy amount did trigger the Truth in Taxation procedures. A copy of the Truth in Taxation notification is attached. The City is budgeting primary property tax revenues of $7,708,000 in its FY 2026-27 Budget. This budgeted amount is less than the levy amount because the City is allowing for approximately 1.0% in bad debt (taxes not able to be collected). The City anticipates an overall 7.5% increase in primary property tax revenues in FY 2026-27, due to the increase from new construction (properties added to tax roll) and the increased rate. Primary property tax revenues may be used for any general purpose use of the City government. Secondary property tax revenues may only be used by cities and towns to retire the principal and interest or redemption charges on general obligation bonds issued to pay for capital projects. Secondary property tax levies are not limited. The City has budgeted a total of $9,552,341 in FY 2026-27 secondary property tax, an approximate 0.6% decrease over the FY 2025-26 budget ($9,613,775). The decrease is directly related to the increased assessed valuation (increase in property values) and new construction offset by a decrease to the tax rate. Secondary property tax revenues are used to pay general obligation debt issued for City capital projects. Five years of historical data are shown below:
Primary property taxes account for 8.0% of the General Fund revenues budgeted for FY 2026-27. The adoption of the property tax levy is the final step in the entire budget approval process. |

| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| Amend Flagstaff City Code, Chapter 1-14, Personnel System, Section 1-14-001-0006, Employee Advisory Committee, to include updates to member definition, term lengths of members, new language for the structure of the committee to be flexible for future organizational changes, and make general grammar and spelling corrections. The amendments will also better define the alternate member descriptions, remove part-time employees from the ineligibility list, increase member term length from two to three years for continuity, allow for special elections to fill member positions with unexpected vacancies, and allow co-chairs to select a temporary alternate EAC members to attend special committee meetings when the assigned member cannot attend. Staff is also proposing amendments to the Employee Handbook of Regulations, Section 1-10-070, Employee Advisory Committee, that will refer employees to the City Code Section pertaining to the Employee Advisory Committee and delete the remaining text that mirrors the Code. Having the duplicative language in the Code and Handbook complicates the amendment process and creates the potential for discrepancies in the documents.

| Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2026-15: An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Flagstaff, authorizing the exchange of real property of substantially equal value with Leroux Retail, L.L.C.; providing for delegation of authority, repeal of conflicting ordinances severability, authority for clerical corrections, and establishing an effective date |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| This ordinance authorizes an exchange of the North/South leg of the alley in Block 19 of Townsite of Flagstaff for real property which will create an East/West alley which will transect the entire block. Block 19 is bounded by Beaver to the West, Leroux St. to the East, Aspen to the South, and Birch St. to the North. The properties are of substantially equal value. A related Ordinance abandoning the City alley as public right of way is also on the agenda for consideration, a necessary step to enact the contemplated exchange. Aligning the block's orientation to be more consistent with the rest of the Downtown alley system improves mobility and access throughout downtown. The property owner with whom the City is proposing to exchange with is currently seeking approval from the City for the construction of a hotel and parking garage. This exchange will also benefit access for the proposed development, but it is an exchange the City would pursue regardless of the proposed development. The proposed exchange benefits the adjacent development by providing better access to facilitate trash removal and the alignment of the proposed development's parking garage. The City is reserving an underground public utility easement within the City's exchange parcel, preventing the ability to build across the existing alley. The proposed exchange will not facilitate greater massing of the adjacent development than what could be achieved through the existing alley orientation. A draft exchange agreement is currently attached for review. The final will be attached prior to the July 7th council meeting. |

Through the development process, City Staff determined that an alley transecting the block from east to west would provide public benefit in addition to assisting the property owner's development.

|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| Block 19 of Townsite of Flagstaff is currently configured with an inverted “L” shaped alleyway. In coordination with a development application, the City Engineer has initiated a request to abandon the North/South leg of the Block 19 alleyway. The proposed abandonment will reserve an underground easement for any existing utilities. The abandoned area, if approved, will be conveyed to the adjacent developer in exchange for a new East/West alleyway leg on the Eastern half of Block 19. This exchange will create an East/West alleyway transecting the entire block. The abandonment is being requested in order to enhance the downtown alley network by creating an alleyway which transects the entire block. The exchange will also benefit the accessibility of the adjacent development; however, staff is recommending abandonment and exchange regardless of the benefits which may redound to the adjacent development. Aligning this block's alley orientation to be more consistent with the rest of the Downtown alley system is sufficient public benefit to consider abandoning and exchanging the alley with the willing property owner. There are no staff concerns or concerns from franchise utilities. The City Engineer in consultation with the Water Services Director and Public Works Director, and the Planning and Zoning Commission at a meeting held on May 27, 2026, have determined that the proposed abandonment is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Code, and any applicable Specific Plan, and all applicable Division standards provided that the City completes the exchange with the adjacent property owner to create an East/West alleyway. |
|||||
| Financial Impact: | |||||
| None. The alley, if abandoned, will be exchanged for real property of substantially equal value at no cost to the City. | |||||

|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
Prior to the City purchasing the Observatory Mesa lands from the Arizona State Lands, a Right of Way ("ROW") between the State Land and a private property owner was granted for the purpose of access to privately owned parcels. Due to topography, the ROW as defined is not practicable or possible to develop to engineering standards to allow for development on the privately owned parcels. The owners of the ROW approached the City to amend the ROW legal description. The City purchased the Observatory Mesa lands through a grant of a conservation easement on the property from Arizona State Parks and the City must ensure that an amended ROW does not conflict with the conservation easement. In order to comply with the conservation easement, and in order to minimize impacts to Observatory mesa and ensure fire code safety, the Open Spaces Commission worked for several years to recommend the following conditions to amend the ROW to council, which council approved in 2024:

| Consideration and Approval of Contract: Job Order Construction Contract with Eagle Mountain Construction, Inc. in the amount of $2,263,330 for the Meade Lane Utility Improvements Project. |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| Approval of the recommended Job Order Construction Contract with Eagle Mountain Construction, Inc. (EMC) will advance the construction services for the Meade Lane Utility Improvements Project. The Project is located along Meade Lane between Highway 180 and the Rio de Flag bridge. Work on Meade Lane includes stormwater infrastructure upsizing, complete replacement of aging water and wastewater infrastructure, FUTS improvements, and road recostruction. City staff utilized the job order contracting (JOC) process for selecting EMC as the lowest responsive and responsible contractor. The JOC process allows construction contractors to be selected in advance through a request for statements of qualifications and placed on a list of potential contractors to build projects as they arise. The current policy approved by the City Council for the JOC process authorizes City staff to enter into construction contracts up to a maximum of $2,000,000 per project and a $5,000,000 annual program limit. When preparing for the repairs on Meade Lane, City staff requested an engineer's estimate which indicated that the cost of the construction contract would be approximately $1,836,000. The contractors on the JOC list were given the opportunity to bid on the Project and each of the bids exceeded the $2,000,000 limit. EMC submitted the lowest bid of $2,263,330. Due to the urgency of the construction necessary in this area, City staff is requesting that City Council authorize a one-time expenditure limit increase for a JOC project above the $2,000,000 project limit in order to complete the Meade Lane Project. |
|||||
| Financial Impact: | |||||
This Project is funded in part by the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (AZ DEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP-5466-04-04) in the amount of $633,323.03 federal share plus a match of $299,934.97 for a total Project costs of $863,258.00.

| Background and History: | |||||
| Following the Pipeline Fire in 2022, the City of Flagstaff completed several flood-mitigation projects to manage increased post-wildfire runoff from the burn scar. However, areas along Meade Lane continue to experience significant localized flooding, particularly during monsoon-season storm events. The drainage infrastructure in this corridor was undersized prior to the Pipeline Fire, and the additional runoff produced by post-fire watershed conditions has highlighted the inadequacy of the drainage system along this street. As a result, the area continues to experience recurring ponding, sediment deposition, and reduced roadway reliability. Flooding along Meade Lane has been severe at times, generating substantial public concern and sustained interest from residents seeking long-term mitigation. Addressing these long-standing drainage deficiencies has become a priority within the broader system of post-fire flood-response and neighborhood-resiliency improvements. The Job Order Construction Contract will complete the drainage upgrades needed along Meade Lane, update aging water and wastewater infrastructure, refresh the road overlay, provide FUTS safety features, improve conveyance capacity, reduce flood-related impacts, and enhance the resilience of the neighborhood. The Purchasing Section posted a solicitation to the contractors on the JOC list in the horizontal discipline on May 12, 2026, on the OpenGov.com website. There were three (3) firms that submitted bids which were received on the opening date; June 9, 2026. After reviewing all bids received, City staff determined that EMC was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. |

In November 2018, voters approved Proposition 419 which allocated a proportional share of funding for roadway and bike and pedestrian improvements along the future John Wesley Powell Boulevard extension. On 27 October 2020, City Staff and the JW Powell Design Team presented an update to City Council regarding the current design work and the Land Use Framework. On 28 January 2021, the JW Powell Design Team conducted a corporate meeting with the small-parcel property owners and consequential one-on-one meetings with small-parcel property owners who requested to meet regarding specifics to their respective parcels. Starting in May 2021, the JW Powell Design Team began to meet with the large-parcel property owners individually. On 28 June and 7 July 2022, City Council, along with copious community input, selected the final alignment for the new JWP roadway extension. The final alignment shifts the alignment to the west and out of the South Fourth Street corridor. On 3 December 2024, City Council approved three separate development agreements to secure the location of the JWP extension. On 14 May 2025, the City of Flagstaff held a second Open House for the general public, following up on the initial April meeting to gather feedback from property owners. This Open House followed the same format, with stations on the specific plan process, transportation, land use, housing, and services, trails, and open space and wildlife staffed by project team members and topic experts. Feedback from these meetings has informed the plan’s content. It is anticipated that the draft plan will be made publicly available in late spring 2026 for review and comment and staff will present the draft plan to various commissions, including the Transportation Commission and the Open Space Commission, and to various community groups. After public feedback has been incorporated as appropriate, the plan will go to the Planning and Zoning Commission for recommendation of approval and then to City Council for final adoption. It is anticipated that final adoption will occur in winter 2026 or early spring 2027. On 19 January 2026, J. Banicki Construction, Inc., was selected by an RSOQ Committee to be the selected construction contractor for the JWP Extension Project. On 17 February 2026, Council approved the Design Phase Services contract with J. Banicki Construction, Inc. to partner with Peak Engineering to value engineer and support finalizing the construction documents for the JWP Extension Project. On 21 April 2026, Council approved GMP 1 with J. Banicki Construction, Inc. for the clearing and erosions control measures of the JWP Corridor. On 16 June 2026, Council approved Change Order 8 with Peak Engineering, Inc. for the additional scope and consultants necessary to complete the bridge design for crossing the Rio de Flag. |

| TITLE: | |||||
| Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-40: A resolution of the Flagstaff City Council adopting the 2026 Coconino County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| The Coconino County Multi‑Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) is the region’s roadmap for understanding our hazard risks and deciding how such risks can reduced over time. The MJHMP is updated every five years to reflect current data, emerging hazards, best practices, and the shared priorities of participating jurisdictions. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires this plan, so communities like Flagstaff can stay eligible for federal and state mitigation funding. A key part of any local hazard mitigation plan is the Mitigation Strategy, the section where jurisdictions identify, evaluate, and prioritize the concrete steps we can take to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure from the hazards we face. These actions help guide long‑term investments and day‑to‑day decision-making. On June 9, 2026, City and County staff walked the Mayor and Council through the Draft 2026 MJHMP during a Work Session. That discussion covered updates to our hazard profiles, changes to the mitigation actions, and what Flagstaff needs to do to remain eligible for FEMA programs. Due to federal funding issues, FEMA temporarily paused plan reviews earlier this year, resulting in a nationwide backlog of plans that require review. To prevent any gap in eligibility while FEMA reviewers catch up, both FEMA and the AZ Department of Military Affairs (DEMA) are recommending that jurisdictions adopt their updated plans before FEMA issues its formal approval. Following that guidance, adopting the 2026 MJHMP now keeps Flagstaff fully eligible for mitigation funding programs, including BRIC and HMGP, while the state (DEMA) and FEMA complete their technical review. |
|||||
| Financial Impact: | |||||
| Project Name: 2026 update to Coconino County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Cost: $0 Account Number Budgeted: FY Budgeted Amount: Grant Funded: Funding Source: Coconino County Emergency Management |
|||||
| Policy Impact: | |||||
| Adoption of the updated 2026 MJHMP ensures the City’s compliance with federal hazard mitigation planning requirements and preserves the City’s eligibility for FEMA funding opportunities tied to having a current, FEMA‑approved Hazard Mitigation Plan. This includes the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program and the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) opportunities, consistent with the eligibility guidance. By adopting the plan now, prior to FEMA approval, the City remains “covered” throughout the federal review period, as allowed and recommended due to FEMA’s current review delays. |
|||||
| Previous Council Decision or Community Discussion: | |||||
| The City of Flagstaff last adopted the MJHMP via Resolution 2021‑55 on 12/7/21, formally adopting the 2021 Coconino County Multi‑Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. This adoption established the City’s eligibility for FEMA mitigation funding for the duration of that plan cycle. | |||||
| Options and Alternatives to Recommended Action: | |||||
| 1. Adopt the 2026 MJHMP via resolution (recommended). 2. Request modifications prior to adoption. (DEMA and FEMA are recommending that we adopt the current state of the plan and then make small adjustments, if need be, after the adoption.) 3. Decline to adopt the plan. (This option would result in the City losing eligibility for FEMA and state mitigation funding programs once the current plan expires. This may impact the City’s ability to secure funding for ongoing and future mitigation projects.) |
|||||
| Background and History: | |||||
| Federal law requires states, local, tribal, and territories (SLTT) to keep a current, FEMA approved Hazard Mitigation Plan in place to qualify for certain disaster and mitigation funding. Because of this, Coconino County updates its Multi‑Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan every five years, working closely with all participating communities. The City of Flagstaff is one of those partners. Each update cycle, the City reviews the plan, helps refine the hazard information, and confirms or updates its mitigation actions. Once the plan is finalized, every jurisdiction, including Flagstaff, must formally adopt it by resolution to remain eligible for federal hazard mitigation grants. |

| Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-41: A resolution renaming Cheshire Park to the "Ken Ingols Cheshire Park" |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| The family and community members that knew Mr. Ken Ingols brought forward a proposal to rename Cheshire Park to the "Ken Ingols Cheshire Park" to honor the longstanding citizen and former City Parks and Recreation Director who was instrumental in creating and delivering many of the parks and recreation centers that our community enjoys today. | |||||
| Financial Impact: | |||||
| Project Name: Renaming of Cheshire Park to Ken Ingols Cheshire Park Cost: $4,000 Account Number Budgeted: 055-11-158-3067-5-4433 FY2026-27 Budgeted Amount: $4,000 Grant Funded: No Funding Source: BBB Recreation |
|||||
| Policy Impact: | |||||
| Resolution No. 2001-73, as amended by Resolution 2010-72, states that the criteria for naming a City facility, including a park, may be accomplished through a petition process with the appropriate commission. If the proposed name is that of an individual, the person must have been deceased for two years, unless it is an individual who has contributed outstanding civic service to the City. City staff, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the community would like to commemorate the efforts of Ken Ingols by renaming Cheshire Park to the "Ken Ingols Cheshire Park" in his honor. Ken Ingols meets the criteria. | |||||
| Previous Council Decision or Community Discussion: | |||||
| There has not been a previous Council decision, but the community discussed this at length with the Parks and Recreation Commission on December 15, 2025. The Commission voted unanimously in favor of the renaming. | |||||
| Options and Alternatives to Recommended Action: | |||||
|
|||||
| Background and History: | |||||
| One of Ken Ingols's daughters, Kelly Ingols, reached out to Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Events prior to Ken's passing when the team dedicated the July 2023 Parks and Recreation Month Proclamation to Ken, and the family had Ken with the PROSE team in Council Chambers to celebrate. That moment was the start of the relationship and information that Kelly began to gather and provide to PROSE discussing being raised in Flagstaff and moving to the Cheshire neighborhood as one of the first residents of the area, to her father helping create many of the amazing park spaces the community still enjoys, such as Old Town Springs Park, Cheshire Park, the ice rink for the community, and the list goes on. The way that Ken interacted with so many of Flagstaff's community members and how he worked to create those special recreational moments for the youth of Flagstaff is the backbone to this request to rename Cheshire Park for the Ingols family and friends. The community, PROSE staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission would like to honor Ken by renaming the neighborhood park where he resided with his spouse until he passed away in July 2023, shortly after the dedicated Parks and Recreation Month Proclamation. |

| TITLE: | |||||
| Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-42: A resolution of the Flagstaff City Council, approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Flagstaff and the State of Arizona, acting by and through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for the design and construction of Flagstaff Urban Trail System (FUTS) improvements along Route 66. |
|||||
| STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
|
|||||
| Executive Summary: | |||||
| ADOT is currently designing a pavement rehabilitation project on State Route 66 from Alvan Clark Way to Fanning Drive. During the plan review process, City staff requested FUTS facilities to be added along the north side of West Route 66 between Woodlands Village Blvd. and Railroad Springs Blvd. within the existing State right-of-way. This will add approximately 3,400' of new FUTS. City staff also requested to remove and replace a short section of FUTS near Switzer Canyon Dr. that is undersized and creates a bottleneck. The work will also provide for ADA access improvements. ADOT will design, advertise, award and administer construction of the pavement preservation and FUTS project. Design, construction and acquisition of temporary construction easements for the FUTS portion of the project are estimated at $766,000 as shown in Exhibit A of the IGA. The City will be responsible for actual costs as well as operations and maintenance of the FUTS project upon completion. ADOT anticipates construction to start in the summer or fall of 2027 so that the work will not impact any Route 66 Centennial events. |
|||||
| Financial Impact: | |||||
| Project Name: Route 66 Pavement Preservation Cost: $766,000 (City FUTS Improvements) Funding Source: Transportation Taxes The Route 66 Pavement Preservation project will utilize funds from Prop. 419, Fund 048, Section 119, account number 048-10-119-3461-6-4441 with a FY2026-27 budget amount of $3,800,000. |
