Summary
Councilmembers reported on recent community programs: a food distribution that served over 70 people, selection of a new SVMPO director, and local participation in Read Across America events; Mayor Wallace issued a proclamation declaring March 2, 2026 as Read Across America Day.
During the meeting councilmembers offered brief reports on current events and community programming. Councilmember Cynthia Butterworth said a recent food distribution served "over 70 individuals," and noted transportation bill activity including House Bill 2304; the minutes also reference "House Bill 276015" in connection with the Arizona Smart Fund as printed in the minutes (the number appears in the minutes as written and may be a transcription or typographical error). Butterworth also reported that the SVMPO director selection named Justin as the new Sierra Vista SVMPO director.

Mayor Wallace issued Proclamation No. 2026-02 declaring March 2, 2026 as Read Across America Day. Other members encouraged participation in upcoming food distribution and announced a local Angels Grace class presented by instructor Carrie Pelton.
