Grace Smithson, chair of the MYAC, said, “About one in seven kids in Navajo County face food insecurity,” and described the program’s weekend food bags—nonperishable items such as mac and cheese, canned soup and ravioli, ramen noodles, fruit cups and granola bars—that volunteers bag for distribution on Thursdays or Fridays. Smithson said Backpack Snacks serves roughly 40 to 50 students in the Blue Ridge School District and about 90 to 100 students in the Show Low School District.

Smithson and other MYAC members provided drop‑off locations for donations: Show Low elementary schools, Blue Ridge High School, Helmet the Jeweler and Pinetop‑Lakeside Town Hall. The group also said there is an Amazon wishlist and a Venmo account listed on outreach materials.

Council members thanked the students and suggested placing a donation box at City Hall or the library; staff indicated they would coordinate placement after the meeting. The presentation was part of the council’s public comment segment; no formal council action was required or taken on the request.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Show Low City Council Meeting for 4-1-25","oneSentenceSummary","Members of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee from Pinetop‑Lakeside presented to the Show Low City Council on behalf of the nonprofit Backpack Snacks, requesting donations and listing local drop‑off sites to help address weekend food insecurity among schoolchildren.","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},6616994,"Council authorizes purchase of automated bulk water station for City shop",159,1611000,1770000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99&start=1611&end=1770","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99/thumbnail_1611000.jpg","/articles/6616994/Show-Low/Navajo-County/Arizona/Council-authorizes-purchase-of-automated-bulk-water-station-for-City-shop","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6616994-80c8e8b7a58df2a215564044a8625fd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171537&Signature=imXyCxW-u0j4279P6487a-yz5PkFL-iEPnGi9agGw~9coKJoCOSY9Dl4~ziiYKTeZ5830zSF5koVw0575zZdPCgY3SP0C7HI8iBoa0PS3vRq1xp~4UX68U3n7-nQn79zdKnB5qpIJn5~IJabkNGX7UJpHff0XosuGDDAeTOEDxe-R1UTy4fibC60uMy6CVVq8YIYlIKOZxe3HkB0V1qayjj~PcMuin5kVIO-185Ru9yPdEmoGaWaOhUpZAR8Sb1mWD5XuFy2QW29HWf3qG43WZcKH6CdQ3Og-g1y71TODqMFati-a8RrJi0rgYpXZmCOg9-qez8mqWzF9dZs81~g5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Show Low City Council unanimously authorized the purchase of an AquaFlow International Inc. automated self‑serve bulk water loading station for the city shop.

Staff said the FY2025 budget included a self‑serve bulk water station and identified AquaFlow International Inc., of Flagstaff, as the sole vendor that specializes in automated bulk water payment systems. Staff described the motivation as simplifying single‑truckload transactions—avoiding the time needed to set up a bulk meter, collect deposits and return meters—and reducing staff administrative hours. The station accepts credit or debit cards and can operate without staff on site.

Staff said the station will be located off Thornton at the city shop in the fenced old yard and will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Councilman Whipple moved the purchase in the amount not to exceed $57,222.85 and Councilman Hatch seconded; the motion passed unanimously.","Show Low approved buying an AquaFlow International Inc. self‑serve bulk water loading station to allow 24/7 paid water fills at the city shop; staff said the system will allow card payments without staff presence.",{"_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},6616998,"Show Low approves purchase of eight city vehicles; budget transfer authorized",118,1470000,1588000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99&start=1470&end=1588","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99/thumbnail_1470000.jpg","/articles/6616998/Show-Low/Navajo-County/Arizona/Show-Low-approves-purchase-of-eight-city-vehicles-budget-transfer-authorized","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6616998-b20790867f3332d8cd8f9b0a1c987f57/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171537&Signature=UAVvvYZQQ3EiE3hHdsxWQ7VMVboX5nWG35sjtpSPpappgJEdXZSG03K1O5g1zB4wmIgiQF6D-zdLNBj60iE7nuE8WPt2ZCsEihRLImIbUeIX0I9vs9G768Elnc0dLwI7KBKhPbuNrUCFx3hP8rvGAw-Rr1xlbwYe1TAUv05pqstFfELtaaS6HUMjdCAy0Ng0Ilepbt~JiC5rJzujYK7rq60~TbP2hLpgdNLxgxQSoGlf4o4wcbU7uW1LhU~3k1RE5yFEz2cxboHIzcK6QB8~-XjNT6vMDE363-En27ZN-iA4qgOe6taryQSyqFovFw4610w~FX9BP9u1PM-cnMS0Qw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Show Low City Council unanimously approved the purchase of eight city vehicles from Show Low Ford and authorized associated budget transfers to cover a budget shortfall.

Staff told the council the fiscal year 2025 budget included funds across four departments to replace or add eight vehicles (seven 3/4‑ton trucks and one 1‑ton truck), equipped to the city standard (service bodies, pipe racks, commercial snow plow systems, light bars and two‑way radios). Bid packets were distributed to four local dealers with a mandatory pre‑bid conference on Feb. 27, 2025; Show Low Ford submitted a bid on March 6, 2025.

Staff said rising vehicle prices caused the winning bid to exceed the budget by $22,975.56 and recommended transferring shortages from capital improvements lines in the respective department funds. Councilman Clark moved the award to Show Low Ford and highlighted the benefit of awarding the work to a local vendor; Councilman Judd seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Council did not identify additional conditions or outside approvals; staff will proceed with procurement and the budget transfers noted in the motion.","Council approved buying eight fleet trucks from Show Low Ford for an amount exceeding the original budget; staff will transfer funds from capital improvements to cover a $22,975.56 shortfall.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617000,"Council approves purchase of decorative street lights for North Eleventh Street corridor",135,1300000,1435000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99&start=1300&end=1435","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99/thumbnail_1300000.jpg","/articles/6617000/Show-Low/Navajo-County/Arizona/Council-approves-purchase-of-decorative-street-lights-for-North-Eleventh-Street-corridor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617000-b3f9bb734a930b0efa142d03eaef2d18/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171537&Signature=lPn71yvoHk0Qcxxi~AKwbzq16mJRysalj4I~JRxsOpYbFlpzyXaHwROzOI0u3Mo3ZN7ltAMp~EYVG2qXGEeKwedjv0FtG-riBLLCFzKC-rb1p5S2wZAho9nkWxU4aqzyVex5KglXsTvCmFsDTmRVsp0EGOsVVwKdf-CL35J2r3t1XxbjV9~omWevjUNOz6UX5bbt-W8WH4hMBiGZE1BlESEigA1ema8y~Es5g-FepNyMgdct-krtUgIt-Kj1bkdAmwpNQPrLw6nX77QAPlt-omLTttKjWKbWD-ahWKl3G0ibe2QEZZd9-JuYdX1LaT8J4AAbVHeRrjzQ26ogjnW13Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Show Low City Council unanimously approved purchasing 25 decorative street lights for the North Eleventh Street streetscape corridor.

Staff said the lights will be installed as part of downtown streetscape improvements along North Eleventh Street between East Cooley and East Tuning (project scope includes culverts, sidewalks, paving, conduit and lighting pole bases). To improve delivery efficiency, staff proposed one purchase order for all lights in the corridor and related future parking‑lot improvements. Staff identified funding within the street CIP improvements budget and requested the purchase through the cooperative Sourcewell contract (number 091422‑WES). The quote from West Coast Distribution totaled $154,822.40.

Council members expressed support for the project and noted the work had already started in the area. The motion to purchase the lights and authorize associated budget transfers passed unanimously.","Show Low authorized the purchase of 25 decorative street lights for the North Eleventh Street streetscape project from West Coast Distribution for $154,822.40 and approved related budget allocation.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617002,"Show Low council awards contract to repair 300,000‑gallon water tank",291,999000,1290000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99&start=999&end=1290","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2844052-2b391df1d2e19f81b72c3593cb9c8f99/thumbnail_999000.jpg","/articles/6617002/Show-Low/Navajo-County/Arizona/Show-Low-council-awards-contract-to-repair-300000gallon-water-tank","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617002-ad0ee8dd23b71b5e00b13cd3c75fba14/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171537&Signature=EWBaa4Tx8AsMFRjyJ2W9qjx75ynK-yvXVheW0m16BLY~F3vk6HWR5tEYXQp-g8wyOgxUIt~XvfCK2Ez~3TqMD4DFjfES5a1uHojl9gVNXDv0zcDYiZrWr8k1Nz0O-FHJ5zdx7EA~F6ps06I6ZNeON8pvxEsj6tYfnY3Rm5BqbMu0BOgevCrafK9vWGfsvZXcvm5xe1tiZqvP62xuO505bYcxUUYtagGO3HeJHhzSzJ7RPQyi7RlK9a9z0~p~0WSvTCB~USICYQo54tNKv-YAoB1iqlF3rgyJv4VU1V~elF~V8SEzKznkbwZEZksjdC5VX6mQQciv-L-WqdpC5PViiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Show Low City Council voted unanimously to award a construction contract for maintenance on a 300,000‑gallon water storage tank identified as City of Show Low Project W6725.

City public works staff described the scope as installing a second 30‑inch shell manway access, replacing a 24‑inch roof vent, adding a liquid level indicator, a lockable ladder door cage, two 8‑foot safety railing sections, and exterior and interior surface blasting and coatings to bring the tank up to current codes. Staff said the city acquired the Park Valley Fools Hollow Water Company in September 2012; the storage tank was taken offline for repairs and has been out of service for “close to probably 10 years,” according to staff.

Staff provided a construction estimate of $250,000 and reported three bids: Southwest Tanks and Steel (listed in the bid tab at $229,507.00), Viking Painting LLC ($323,850), and Professional Piping Systems LLC ($401,004). Council approved awarding the contract to Southwest Tanks and Steel. The motion as recorded at the meeting contained a different numeric amount than the bid tab; the council record shows the motion approved as read at the meeting. The council discussion noted the tank will be used as a daily buffer—filled overnight and pumped during the day—to supplement supply in the city’s pressure Zone 2.

Council and staff also discussed the tank’s location (behind Park Place, near the dead end of Twentieth Avenue) and that engineers previously inspected the facility and deemed it repairable. No additional outside approvals were described during the discussion.

The action was passed unanimously. Staff said the project location and bid tab are included with the contract documents and that staff is available for follow‑up questions.","The Show Low City Council unanimously approved awarding a construction contract for maintenance and repairs to a 300,000‑gallon water storage tank (Project W6725).
