Cochise County supervisors approve intergovernmental HR services agreement with Superior Court after executive session
Summary
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors voted June 17 to approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Cochise County Superior Court for human resources services after meeting in executive session under Arizona law.
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors approved an intergovernmental agreement between the Cochise County Superior Court and Cochise County for human resources services during a special meeting on June 17, 2025. The board moved into executive session first under Arizona Revised Statutes §38-431.03(A)(3) to discuss the matter and then voted to approve the agreement by voice vote.
The board began the meeting at 1 p.m. and, citing Arizona law authorizing confidential executive sessions for certain matters, a supervisor moved that the board go into executive session “as authorized under ARS 38-431.03, subsection (A)(3) to discuss the intergovernmental agreement between the Cochise County Superior Court and Cochise County for Human Resources Services.” The county’s attorney’s office recommended entering executive session, and the board proceeded.
After returning from executive session, Supervisor Gomez moved to approve the intergovernmental agreement, and the motion was seconded. A voice vote was taken; a supervisor voiced “aye,” the chair also voted aye, and the chair announced the motion passed. The motion’s text recorded on the public transcript was: “I move to approve the intergovernmental agreement between the Cochise County Superior Court and Cochise County for Human Resources Services.”
Meeting participants who were identified on the record included Supervisor Tom Crosby (District 1) and Supervisor Gomez (District 2); Supervisor Antoni (District 3) was noted as absent for the day. County staff named on the record included Rachel Gray from the clerk’s office; Jennifer Graham from human resources; Bert Whitehead from the county attorney’s office; Nelson Flores from court administration; Andrew Casey; and Sharon Nolan. The transcript does not specify the full terms, dollar amounts, contract number, or implementation timeline for the approved agreement.
The board adjourned after the vote. Staff announced that the next meeting will be Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the Executive Conference Room for discussion and possible direction regarding voting machine status and legal compliance.
