Inspection services agreement (R202506)
City staff said the Arizona Department of Housing contract allows local jurisdictions to perform permitting and inspections for manufactured homes and factory-built buildings under state standards, including mandated fee schedules, required training (paid by the city), and reporting obligations. Staff recommended the city renew its arrangement with the Department of Housing and enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Navajo County for the county to issue permits and perform inspections within Show Low city limits. A council member declared a conflict of interest prior to the vote, noting Navajo County is a current client; the motion to adopt resolved R202506 was moved and seconded, and the mayor announced the motion passed (transcript: “motion passed unanimously with 1 sustaining”). The resolution approves the inspection services agreement and the county arrangement as described in staff materials.

Abandonment of an access easement (R202507)
Staff briefed the council on a request from the owner of assessor parcel APN 210-14-050A (owner: Roger Hatch on behalf of Ram Holdings, Inc.) to abandon a 15-foot-wide access easement created in 1957 (recorded in docket 92, page 45 of Navajo County records). The easement crosses the owner’s property and historically provided ingress and egress to land now owned by the city (part of the Reedhead home acquisition). Staff recommended abandonment after reviewing documentation and concluding the easement is no longer needed for access to the city-owned parcel. A council member moved to adopt R202507, the motion was seconded and the council voted to abandon the easement; the mayor announced the motion passed unanimously.

Purchase of property adjacent to cemetery (Ordinance 2025-01)
City staff said the property at 4540 E. Adams Place (APN 210-02-013E) is roughly 0.3 acre, includes an older home, and abuts the city cemetery. Staff negotiated a purchase price of $100,000 with estimated closing costs of about $2,000. The council adopted Ordinance 2025-01 to authorize the purchase and approved associated budget transfers to fund acquisition from previously set-aside property acquisition funds. The motion to adopt passed unanimously.

Consent calendar
Earlier in the meeting the council also approved Resolution R202505 (approval of meeting minutes for Jan. 21 study session, budget study session and regular meeting). The motion was seconded and the mayor announced the motion passed unanimously.

What the actions mean
- R202506 moves permitting and inspection duties for manufactured homes to an arrangement with Navajo County while maintaining state-mandated standards and reporting to the Arizona Department of Housing.
- R202507 removes a 15-foot access easement recorded in 1957, a step staff said will facilitate potential private development of the parcel east of the Reedhead property.
- Ordinance 2025-01 authorizes acquisition of a 0.3-acre parcel adjacent to the city cemetery for $100,000 (approximate closing costs $2,000) and uses previously budgeted acquisition funds.

Councilors asked few substantive questions during the votes; one member recused themself from discussion of R202506 because of a stated professional relationship with Navajo County. All three items were approved during the meeting; minutes and ordinance readings were completed as required by the city clerk.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Show Low City Council Meeting for 2-4-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Show Low City Council approved (1) an inspection services agreement with the Arizona Department of Housing and an arrangement with Navajo County for manufactured-home permitting (resolution R202506), (2) abandonment of a 15-foot access easement (resolution R202507), and (3) purchase of a 0.3-acre parcel adjacent to the city cemetery (Ordinance ","taxTitle","Show Low, Navajo County, Arizona","taxId",58397,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6682334,"Show Low presents midyear fiscal update; most funds tracking near budget",469,2697000,3166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2699248-498500b71ce7de48515ed18d68c4cfc2&start=2697&end=3166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2699248-498500b71ce7de48515ed18d68c4cfc2/thumbnail_2697000.jpg","/articles/6682334/Show-Low/Navajo-County/Arizona/Show-Low-presents-midyear-fiscal-update-most-funds-tracking-near-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6682334-9867efdc63ab3b6836439fe761450079/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442616&Signature=oEkjBdo01vtwQCocRzxOXQrx~oaHFJyhwuVagc5vNh1Yi87SHqBeQwhMzewR9loeSRwV4hCnkoFK66~w6djZU~-KDkQNqI~jiXRkAbcJNpiOIHFFMtgHr94Za83IiyoiOMOsSIdSvFT5FqrJkTK-rPkDiKqsimRj4GcUCWClEXBaerS5p~-pK3--idGV--t1-CqTSNIHqnZHlCiMkJupXNb~UX6URSXwuNJop8gHA~NdH8knKuI~nY~lrinb~0SsUFzindG2Nn0qL9ldsphnsGtjCxTVNBe3kf168UnSNCskNv3q3PlLkFyTsAs5DUitbDLxNZsZW30yRpbWxrlAeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City finance staff presented a midyear financial update to the Show Low City Council on Feb. 4 showing that most general-fund revenues and utility funds are tracking near budgeted expectations, with several timing-related variances noted.

Justin (finance staff) told council that 50% of budget is the rough midyear benchmark and that most line items were close to that mark. He said police-related revenues appeared low in the packet because the city had not yet received dispatch billing records at the time the report was prepared; he confirmed to the council that the dispatch billing had been received and that police revenues are now about 51% of budget.

Other highlights from the presentation:
- Parks and recreation revenues were running under budget for the first half of the fiscal year but were expected to rise with spring program enrollments.
- Grants can be volatile due to federal timing; staff said they expect grant revenues to meet budgeted totals by year end.
- Some expense categories were above 50% because of timing: city magistrate and information services showed higher expenditures because large purchases and contracted payments were made early in the fiscal year.
- Sales tax collections through December outperformed the prior year in four of six months; preliminary January figures were roughly $20,000 higher than the prior January with a week still remaining in the month at the time of reporting.
- Airport fuel margins declined after the city’s airline carrier began purchasing fuel in Phoenix; the carrier agreed to monthly lease payments to offset some of that change.
- Utility fund activity: water revenues were about 70% of budget because WIFA-funded projects carried over from prior years; wastewater and sanitation were tracking close to expectations once final monthly numbers are recorded.
- Debt service: the city has two debt issues scheduled to retire over the next two years, which will reduce annual debt service payments (the transcript cited a reduction of roughly $439,000 for the streets budget when one series retires).

Councilors asked several clarifying questions during the presentation (for example, the meaning of the “all other” revenue line and timing of sanitation numbers). Finance staff indicated a conservative approach to interest-earning budgets and explained that some line-item timing drives deviations at midyear. The report closed with staff offering to provide additional detail on any line item as requested. No formal council action was taken on the midyear report at the meeting.","City finance staff reviewed the midyear financial report showing general-fund revenues near 50% of budget, some timing-driven variances in expenses, and upcoming debt-service reductions that will lower payments in 2026–27.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6682337,"Show Low honors police, volunteers and regional partners at annual awards ceremony",376,770000,1146000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2699248-498500b71ce7de48515ed18d68c4cfc2&start=770&end=1146","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2699248-498500b71ce7de48515ed18d68c4cfc2/thumbnail_770000.jpg","/articles/6682337/Show-Low/Navajo-County/Arizona/Show-Low-honors-police-volunteers-and-regional-partners-at-annual-awards-ceremony","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6682337-e9be6d0a7254adf17209e30b6bcf579e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442616&Signature=EDuU2KCf6VWTeAwch~KbW71DI0JD1foc6AL7d3reQSQZfR6vGT6kY-0dR2A8~PBzclCkrIt~tRwVM3EHEJ4OsKltlI4gyWSzPuVS2DuZ~~lSQjUP7uPm1J8SNYkDyqDUvRycTioxj35wEtY1eiDQ5D9G1BcAXz3H~932WNpbarGTSfQZshFImtIbh78OBV5VtXcnJXL62pLCMkicwkn0z0VHTG5kp1Vr47MAHnrs1NRGe9s-MfTB14UiKPWdzMoaTJktqzNsXQCJ31rGfZ2aeeQ2lvMJbnMUuvD7R4BGts7xxv~DIgE9b9YKohXOyH09~qWe9tUzKO63xJbrXiC6zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Show Low city leaders and public safety officials presented awards and commendations on Feb. 4, recognizing officers, volunteer units and partner agencies for work during 2024.
