Nogales City Council approved four items at the close of its May 14 budget workshop: a budget transfer to fund fire suppression work at city buildings, in‑kind support for two community events, and formal adoption of city cemetery rules and policies.
Budget transfer for fire protection The council passed Order 2025-04-013, authorizing a transfer of up to $120,000 from the general fund reserve to the facilities department to purchase and install a new fire-suppression system covering multiple city buildings (the Nogales library, Pima Delta building, Nogales Senior Center and Parks & Recreation building). The item was moved and seconded; council recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed.

Both items were motioned, seconded and approved with affirmative votes recorded.
Adoption of cemetery rules and policies Council adopted the proposed City Cemetery Rules and Policies for Parks and Recreation.
