Summary
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved formation of the Hopi Vista and Tolleson Farms 1 irrigation water delivery districts after brief procedural motion; no public speakers were recorded for those two items.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve formation of the Hopi Vista and Tolleson Farms 1 irrigation water delivery districts during a special meeting on Jan. 17.
Vice Chair Lesko moved to approve agenda items 1 and 2, and Supervisor Galvin seconded; the motion passed with all members voting aye. The clerk reported no in-person speaker forms for those two items and no written opposition tied to them.
Laurie Maderas of the Clerk of the Board’s office described the statutory process for forming irrigation water delivery districts (IWDDs), saying that petitions meeting signature and legal requirements are typically approved. She noted that annual budgets are reviewed publicly and that districts must file annual reports; districts that reach a $50,000 budget threshold must undergo a review or audit.
Because no substantive public testimony or contested motions were recorded on items 1 and 2, the board’s action was procedural and final at that meeting. The board then proceeded to consider a separate petition for Tolleson Farms 2.
