Summary
The council authorized an intergovernmental agreement with the Tohono O’odham Nation for $67,500 to restripe Rancho Sahuarita Boulevard and approved a budget amendment to accept and spend the grant.
The Sahuarita Town Council authorized an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Tohono O’odham Nation to accept a $67,500 grant for pavement markings on Rancho Sahuarita Boulevard and approved a corresponding budget amendment.
Public Works Director Nalo Nalavalli presented the IGA and told the council the grant will be used to restripe Rancho Sahuarita Boulevard from Pima Mine Road to Sahuarita Road, a distance of roughly four miles. Nalavalli credited Public Works Operations Manager Paul Burton for preparing the grant application and thanked the Tohono O’odham Nation for the award.
The council moved to adopt the resolution authorizing the IGA and to amend the Public Works Streets division budget by increasing revenues and expenditures in the capital infrastructure improvement fund by $67,500; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously by voice vote. Nalavalli said the funds will be applied to restriping operations as described in the staff report.
Council members thanked staff for pursuing grant funds and noted the difficulty and importance of securing such awards.
