The Town of Camp Verde Mayor and Council approved several administrative and capital actions during a July 9, 2025 special session, including an auditing services contract, a stormwater drainage contract, a permanent hire in Community Development, and a change to town facility hours.

The consent motion was made by Councilor Robin Godwin and seconded by Councilor Patrica Seybold; the roll-call record in the minutes lists Councilor Bolton, Councilor Seybold, Councilor Godwin, Vice Mayor Escoffier and Mayor Moore as voting "aye" and Councilors Foreman and Murdock as absent; the minutes state the motion carried.
Drainage contract: For Bid No. 25-210 (Dickison Circle Drainage Improvements Project), Public Works Director Ken Krebbs explained that the Arizona Department of Transportation installed a box culvert under Highway 260 and will replace gabion baskets with concrete inlet/outlet structures; the Town will install a 96-inch culvert to convey stormwater to the Grief Hill wash.
