Cave Creek council appoints two planning commissioners and approves law-enforcement IGA with Maricopa County
Summary
The council appointed Josh Wedge and Charlie Spitzer to the planning commission and approved a multi-year intergovernmental agreement with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office extending law-enforcement services through June 2035; both motions passed unanimously 7-0. Staff noted insertion of additional-insured language in the agreement.
The Cave Creek Town Council completed two formal actions during Tuesday's meeting: it appointed two residents to the planning commission and approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for law-enforcement services.
On appointments, applicant Josh Wedge introduced himself as a lifelong resident and small-business owner who said he wants to preserve the town’s character. The council moved to appoint Josh Wedge and Charlie Spitzer to fill two planning commission seats; the motion carried by voice vote, "Motion carries 7 0."
On law enforcement, staff presented an updated IGA with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office that would run from January 1 through June 30, 2035 (an initial five-year term with four one-year renewals). Staff said the agreement includes additional-insured language favored by the town’s risk manager and noted the contract term and some remaining performance-measure details. Councilmember motioned to approve the IGA; the motion passed by voice vote, "Motion carries 7 0." The town manager said the arrangement helps keep a sheriff substation in town and provides continuity in patrols.
Both items were approved without recorded roll-call vote names in the public discussion; the meeting minutes will carry formal motion and mover/second details in the official record.
