Show Low adopts IGA with Navajo County to add six fiber laterals to city facilities
Summary
Council adopted Resolution R2025-14 authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with Navajo County to construct six lateral connections to the county's middle-mile fiber network at a budgeted cost of $467,138.56.
The Show Low City Council unanimously adopted Resolution R2025-14 authorizing an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Navajo County to install six lateral fiber connections from the county's middle-mile network to city facilities.
Public works/IT presenter Hemsaw said Navajo County is installing fiber countywide as part of a middle-mile project and that the city plans to use the county's contractor (Ex Squared) to extend lateral connections to key city facilities, with city hall acting as the hub. Hemsaw listed the six connection sites: public works, the wastewater treatment plant, police department, Frontier Park, the airport and city hall. He said the project cost is $467,138.56 and that funding is budgeted for the current fiscal year; construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2025.
Staff recommended adoption of Resolution R2025-14 and authorization for the mayor to sign the agreement; Councilman Adams seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to adopt the resolution. Hemsaw said the city will take advantage of the county contractor while county crews are working in the area to minimize mobilization costs.
