Public Works Director Roger McCormick said the safety project covers three locations that connect State Route 89 and Williamson Valley Road and will move slopes away from the roadway to improve visibility around curves. “This is a safety project,” McCormick said, explaining that right‑of‑way acquisitions are complete and the engineer’s estimate was about $327,000 but the low bid came in about $411,000.

Nut graf: The board approved the higher bid to advance a safety improvement that staff and supervisors described as likely to reduce crash risk; supervisors praised staff coordination and prior briefings that prepared them to vote.

Supervisors noted the work was part of broader safety improvements in the Williamson Valley/Outer Loop area. One supervisor said the project “will probably save someone's life,” underscoring the safety rationale for proceeding despite costs exceeding the engineer’s estimate.

The board voted unanimously to authorize the contract award and for Public Works to proceed with the work.","The board awarded a $411,923.40 contract to Asphalt and Paving to widen roadside slopes at three locations on Outer Loop Road, improving sightlines and safety between State Route 89 and Williamson Valley Road; the bids exceeded the engineer's estimate of $327,000.",{"_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},6226275,"Board approves $537,051 payment to replace Wash Bridge on Walnut Grove Road",218,1369000,1587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3512871-13371f02017797ce441c8fd588c2706b&start=1369&end=1587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3512871-13371f02017797ce441c8fd588c2706b/thumbnail_1369000.jpg","/articles/6226275/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Board-approves-537051-payment-to-replace-Wash-Bridge-on-Walnut-Grove-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226275-ce2e9683a88b8749d3d345b16afe9b5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1777374446&Signature=P0-YNfUiHvTTPmpHFlKXYxI~ds0l6TbePm0WoE6tvUIGstTMezFrku-SFnGnPMk-WbNVjnYEsahuJ1tBP~gOVH-wSB5dRvgQeOSLhHurvzRprrptZHfbANDx8tHb-obyqp6S4wHc46tAPj8BMg9SxcZWFi6yg2aZqTucHSySpAIZ9VpD9K2e0D73-16sBO1p~QTBub1eiWDAZAxARMqK1j1tEhvaNQX2-w9kiIdN-dyqvfbhOkPCAu210zZTYF6XFuq0tvajhQwigQCHYstUXSoO7E1GyLswp1soD30loj~zQ4G-EGf6~4OKE3VcMYkVd324trOezjb3-vxxjxpMRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors on May 21 approved payment of $537,051 to cover the county’s share of the Wash Bridge replacement project on Walnut Grove Road.

Public Works Director Roger McCormick said the bridge was inspected by ADOT and deemed structurally deficient — posted with a 15‑ton weight limit — and that the replacement will remove the posting and provide two‑way traffic. “This 1… when it was inspected and why it qualified for the funding is it is structurally deficient. Not meaning that it's not safe to drive over but it is posted with a weight limit of 15 tons,” McCormick said.

Nut graf: The project is funded through ADOT’s off‑system bridge program; county staff told the board the total construction cost estimate rose from about $900,000 to roughly $1.2 million since preliminary estimates, and the board approved $537,051 to move the project to bid and construction.

McCormick said the bridge is located about eight miles down Walnut Grove Road where the roadway feeds into the Hassayampa River area and that the project will widen the crossing to allow two-way traffic and eliminate the weight posting. The bridge is in District 1 and was selected for ADOT off‑system bridge funding. The county’s original match estimate was just over $200,000; increased construction costs required the higher appropriation now before the board.

Supervisors approved the payment unanimously. The project will move to bid and construction under Public Works oversight.","The board approved payment of $537,051 toward the Walnut Grove Road Wash Bridge replacement, removing a 15‑ton restriction and widening the single‑lane structure for two‑way traffic; ADOT provided off‑system bridge funding and final project costs rose to about $1.2 million.",{"_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},6226279,"Yavapai County board authorizes payoff of 2017 excise tax revenue bonds to free capital capacity",228,1140000,1368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3512871-13371f02017797ce441c8fd588c2706b&start=1140&end=1368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3512871-13371f02017797ce441c8fd588c2706b/thumbnail_1140000.jpg","/articles/6226279/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Yavapai-County-board-authorizes-payoff-of-2017-excise-tax-revenue-bonds-to-free-capital-capacity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226279-b346cc16dda8666fbac09eee03fb5e43/orig.mp4?Expires=1777374446&Signature=GNjVOp0SK1vK7T3HNTBYeknwdfhBfBcAmP2KkjHiO6blRtqkgNIvDffa06cvRZmxz8GOIaXl4JxtQH5fpqEX0GRFknuCbC5~8rHUG7fBadIqeS19d~9xz6OIsI0asFwY3cKzMFKg7Oy8VK5A5x6t5qmmRak5LjmI-k5opSzqJZxQsEuMFSJcdc2znT8Iex2VvQFSk8t9KEhNpkyH9E3jWlzmV9Ndx5S8FtRna9jwxWA5rphovtXm~qzN6U-~3-JlCjhvVFXcsFff9F~wX-ES-rTcy5iQ5DsdhrA~CZG7GerMM5EJOUxE3Irp9xeRFHiO3M957ZlNO8A-WAnkCmY3Hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors on May 21 approved paying off the county’s 2017 excise tax revenue refunding bonds, authorizing the finance director to initiate the wire transfer for an amount not to exceed $5,532,000 in principal and $10,000 in interest.

Finance Director Connie Dekemper said the 2017 debt had funded the Superior Court building in the Verde Valley and the juvenile detention facility in Prescott and that retiring the bonds for fiscal year 2025 will create flexibility for future capital borrowing. “Paying off this debt in the fiscal year 2025 allows the County to be financially set up to issue additional debt in the near future if we should want to build another building for the county,” Dekemper said.

The board clarified that, after this payoff, the only outstanding county debt related to capital improvements will be in the jail district; other liabilities such as compensated absences and unfunded pension liabilities remain. Dekemper said the payoff will use fund balance as a one-time payment and that reserve space and internal transfers will be used because the county cannot increase its total budget midyear.

Supervisors praised the financial management and approved the motion unanimously. The action authorizes the finance director to proceed with the transfer to retire the bonds.","The board unanimously authorized Finance Director Connie Dekemper to initiate a wire transfer to pay off 2017 excise tax revenue refunding bonds — up to $5,532,000 principal and $10,000 interest — freeing debt capacity for future capital projects.",{"_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},6226283,"Yavapai County approves sale of 3.86 acres to Prescott Valley for $1.175 million",296,842000,1138000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3512871-13371f02017797ce441c8fd588c2706b&start=842&end=1138","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3512871-13371f02017797ce441c8fd588c2706b/thumbnail_842000.jpg","/articles/6226283/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Yavapai-County-approves-sale-of-386-acres-to-Prescott-Valley-for-1175-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226283-904f165e6d2a0f47648d4fa7ce7363ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1777374446&Signature=AdRZoQsMARICNB48~CYjMl-9EORNrBjBL1ZbxVbmsvKKNw9D6jXHBByb4LMv8Zn-ZAxme7KyXMXsH8PoRaObwwcPA2H~tSiTz~q3vFnXr7ya4rovNZkn8bDe-OuhUw8TSEwBGMY7ke0CmM7kI6XtHJ~ITnqFH0mlNWwFlna6npfWIvSMZ~qc2hUv~0ojz-OYUBsX0wSlsrC2YZZAgIKNHtlIsN~UgT4xpo5sTfNKwMGaOPy3Xy8TPuGdawHd4fpbL4B4fQRzwghVqJP4kNIlicgH27kDxO3ZqWXZeIaYbgWLbWZYIObBNC8Lo5X6-udXMH2DVbsIKrhVG9c~BSXTmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors on May 21 unanimously approved the direct sale of 3.86 acres near the Prescott Valley Civic Center to the Town of Prescott Valley for $1,175,000.

County staff said the parcel was identified as surplus and that the town and county agreed on an appraisal and a three-installment payment schedule. Tyler Goodman, assistant county manager, told supervisors, “This item is for the sale of just under 4 acres of land to the town of Prescott Valley for $1,175,000.”

The nut graf: The sale moves county land deemed unnecessary for foreseeable service needs into municipal ownership adjacent to Prescott Valley’s Civic Center; the board approved delegation to county counsel to sign closing documents so the transaction can proceed.

Board materials and staff explained that BBG Real Estate Services completed the appraisal in February and that the town proposed paying the appraisal amount in three installments: at closing, Oct. 1, 2025, and Oct. 1, 2026. Staff noted the sale is a direct sale (not a public auction) and therefore requires unanimous board consent.

Brandon Schultz, director of facilities, said the county acquired related parcels about February 2007 during property exchanges tied to nearby road work and county facility needs. Ryan Judy (identified in the meeting as “deputy assistant”), speaking for the town, said the county had allowed the town to use the parcel for overflow parking during special events and described adjacency to the civic center as making the site valuable for future municipal uses. Judy commented, “the county has been very generous in allowing us to use this parcel for overflow parking for our special events.”

The board voted unanimously to approve the sale and to delegate authority for signatories and closing steps to county counsel. The motion included the stipulation that documents and signing authority be handed to board counsel.

Clarifying details recorded at the meeting: parcel size 3.86 acres; sale price $1,175,000; appraisal by BBG Real Estate Services completed in February; payment schedule — at closing, Oct. 1, 2025, and Oct. 1, 2026; county counsel to be delegated signing authority. The board identified the parcel as adjacent to the Civic Center/Town Hall.

The county clerk recorded a unanimous vote. Staff said the funds from the sale would be available for county capital needs as directed by the board.","The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a direct sale of a 3.86-acre parcel near Prescott Valley’s civic center to the Town of Prescott Valley for $1,175,000, with the town paying in three installments and the board delegating closing authority to county counsel.","actionData","errors"]
