The Cochise County Board of Supervisors convened a special meeting on September 30, 2025, to address a significant tax appeal involving Walmart. The meeting took place in the Executive Conference Room on Melody Lane, with options for remote attendance via Microsoft Teams.

The session began with a roll call, confirming the presence of two supervisors in person and one online. The primary agenda item was to discuss potential settlement agreements related to a large tax appeal filed by Walmart against Cochise County.

Following a brief discussion, the board moved to enter an executive session to receive legal advice regarding the pending litigation. A motion was made and seconded, and the board unanimously agreed to proceed into the executive session.

Upon returning from the executive session, the board approved a proposed settlement for the tax appeal case, identified as Walmart Stores Inc. versus Cochise County, currently pending in the Arizona Tax Court. The motion to approve the settlement passed with a unanimous vote of 3-0.

The meeting concluded with a note that the next gathering would focus on the library district committee, scheduled to take place shortly after the current session.
