Camp Verde council adopts tourism plan, issues RFP and approves multiple contracts and consent items
Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting the Town Council adopted a Tourism Marketing Plan, authorized RFP #25‑215 to implement it, approved multiple capital and maintenance contracts including a $750,000 pavement preservation award, authorized a $65,739.38 change order for Dickinson Circle drainage, adopted engineering design standards, and approved routine consent agenda items including equipment leases and a temporary suspension of reclaimed water fees for FY26.
The Camp Verde Town Council on Sept. 3, 2025 adopted a Tourism Marketing Plan and took multiple actions to begin implementation and to approve routine and capital projects.
Economic Development Director Molly Davies introduced consultants from Axis Culture Group (Joe Klein, Jon Hatch and McKenzie Oakley), who presented the methodology and recommendations for the Tourism Marketing Plan focused on sustainable promotion of Camp Verde's natural and historic assets. The council voted 7‑0 to adopt the plan and authorized staff to issue Request for Proposals #25‑215 to solicit tourism and economic development marketing professional services to implement the plan.
On procurement and capital projects, the council approved Change Order No. 1 for the Dickinson Circle Drainage Improvements Project with Mulcaire & Son Contracting for $65,739.38 and awarded the FY26 Pavement Preservation Project (Bid No. 25‑216) to Cactus Asphalt for an amount not to exceed $750,000. Both actions passed by roll call vote, 7‑0. The council also adopted the Town of Camp Verde Engineering Design Standards Manual after a staff presentation that emphasized revisions to manhole standards, rural local roads, first‑flush requirements and retention/detention rules; public commenter Bill Feldmeier raised concerns about curb, gutter and sidewalk requirements for small versus large lot subdivisions.
The consent agenda — approved earlier in the meeting — included approval of minutes, scheduling of future meetings, authorization for a Voluntary Assistance Agreement between the Marshal's Office and the Arizona Rangers (contingent on insurance review by the Town Attorney), budget adjustments for FY25, and authorization to procure equipment identified in the FY25 CIP including a Caterpillar 420 backhoe (five‑year lease up to $170,000) and other turf/maintenance equipment (five‑year lease up to $172,500). Council also authorized release of RFQ #25‑217 for prosecutorial services and ratified Resolution #2025‑1192 suspending reclaimed water fee charges for FY26. All consent items were approved 7‑0.
Mayor Marie Moore adjourned the meeting at 9:49 p.m. Town Clerk Leah Rhodes later certified the minutes as a true and accurate accounting of the session.
