Votes at a glance: Nogales council approves liquor license, road contracts, library/county IGAs and other orders
Summary
At its June 10 special session, the Nogales City Council approved a Series 9 liquor license for a convenience store, in-kind support for veterans’ parades, multiple infrastructure contracts (Frank Reed and Linta roads), acceptance of air-quality funds, certifications to file CDBG applications, library and animal-control IGAs, and ratified a human-resources appointment.
The Nogales City Council recorded multiple formal actions on June 10. Key outcomes:
- Liquor license (2026-12): Council approved a Series 9 license for Central K Stores (53 Northwestern Ave.). Motion recorded as passed.
- Veterans Day parade support: Council approved in-kind support for American Legion Post 23 and another veterans group for the November 11, 2026 parade (motions passed).
- Road contracts: Council authorized the city manager to award the Frank Reed Road Improvements contract to Sunland Asphalt & Construction LLC (order 2026-06-024) for an amount not to exceed $1,500,000. Council also authorized the Linta Road Improvement contract (order 2026-06-025); the record was corrected on the dais to show the contractor as Cactus Asphalt.
- Funding and grants certification: Council approved acceptance of PM2.5 air-quality funds for the nonattainment area and certified and authorized submission of CDBG regional-account and colonia set-aside applications (orders 2026-06-026 through 028).
- Library and animal-control IGAs: Council approved an IGA with Santa Cruz County for library services (order 2026-06-029) and an IGA for animal-control/enforcement services (order 2026-06-030).
- Budget adoption and personnel: Council adopted the FY2026–27 final budget (order 2026-06-023) and ratified the appointment of La Benet Faras as human resources director.
Votes: The transcript records motions and chair calls for aye/nay; detailed roll-call tallies were not recorded in every instance in the public record excerpts. Staff will publish official minutes with formal vote tallies and associated contract documents.
Why this matters: The package of actions advances infrastructure projects (paving and water/utility-related work), preserves grant application deadlines, and implements intergovernmental service arrangements affecting libraries and animal control. Contract awards and budget adoption commit public resources and begin project implementation schedules.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contract paperwork, coordinate construction schedules to avoid monsoon-period impacts, submit certified CDBG application materials, and publish official meeting minutes with recorded roll-call votes and contract documents.
