Council authorizes city manager to finalize negotiations with Bureau of Reclamation
Summary
Following an executive session, council voted to authorize the city manager and city attorney to negotiate and for the mayor to execute a final agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation addressing infrastructure development and water storage in the Tucson area.
After a closed‑door executive session concerning water resources and lower Colorado River Basin mitigation, council returned to the public record and passed a motion authorizing the city manager and city attorney to negotiate—and for the mayor to execute—a final agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for infrastructure development and storage of water resources serving the Tucson area. The motion was moved and seconded on the public record and carried.
Council did not provide details of the negotiated terms during the public session and treated the vote as an authorization to conclude the previously discussed executive session matters. Staff said they would report back on outcomes as negotiations conclude.
