Summary

The council voted to authorize the town manager to sign an "early actions community investment agreement" with Santa Cruz County, the City of Nogales and South 32, moving design-phase funding and early projects forward while retaining public input tied to the final EIS/CPBA process.

The Patagonia Town Council voted to authorize the town manager to sign an early actions community investment agreement with Santa Cruz County, the City of Nogales and mining firm South 32. The motion to approve the agreement was moved and seconded on voice vote and the mayor declared the motion carried.

Town manager Robinson had presented the package earlier in the meeting, describing the agreement as an interim, standalone investment vehicle distinct from the community protections and benefits agreement (CPBA). Robinson told the council the town’s suite of projects would be submitted like grant proposals — with narratives, scopes, milestones and bid-ready documents — and that South 32 had preapproved scope templates for the projects. The council recorded no roll-call tally in the transcript; council members signaled approval by voice vote.
