Gila Bend approves easement to Arizona Public Service for transmission access (Resolution No. 26-03)
Summary
Council approved Resolution No. 26-03 authorizing an easement over Town property (APN 403-11-053) in favor of Arizona Public Service and authorized staff to complete and record the easement; the vote was unanimous with one member absent.
The Gila Bend Town Council approved a utility easement to Arizona Public Service on May 12, 2026.
The council considered an item described as "APS Utility Easement from Town of Gila Bend (APN 403-11-053)." Vice-Mayor Chris Riggs moved to approve Resolution No. 26-03 authorizing the mayor to execute an easement in favor of Arizona Public Service Company over a portion of Town-owned property (APN 403-11-053) and to allow Town staff to take all necessary actions to complete and record the easement. Councilmember Fernando Fernandez seconded. The motion passed unanimously (Ayes 6; Absent 1).
The action authorizes the mayor to sign the easement and directs staff to complete recording steps; the meeting minutes do not include the easement document text, corridor width, compensation terms, or any conditions. The council took no separate action on the Desert Sun Project presentation earlier in the meeting; this easement vote was a standalone consent item recorded as Resolution No. 26-03.
Town staff are authorized to complete and record the easement; additional implementation details and any required public notices or permitting were not specified in the minutes.
