The ongoing litigation against the 2023 GVID water rate increase was denied oral arguments by the Arizona Court of Appeals, on the grounds that both sides had pleaded their positions thoroughly enough that it was not necessary to schedule a hearing date to argue the case in person. The Court will rule based on the Superior Court record and the written Appeal pleadings. An order in the case is not expected for several months.
Supervisors approved an additional $1,407,795 ($299,294 in GVID funds and $1,183,501 in ARPA funds) to complete the new GVIDWell (#5) pump house , and hopefully bring it on line by year’s end. Agenda item #41 on the December 23rd, 2024 BoS meeting.
Two roads were accepted into the County road maintenance system. S. Glen Canyon from W. Abrigo Rd to W. Redwall Dr., and S. Opal Rd. from W. Chemehuevi Dr. to W. Cerbat Dr. will now be graded by the County.
A minor land division south of Shipp Dr. and east of Estrella Rd was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors at the January 6th meeting. The zoning change to agricultural residential, 1 acre minimum, would be consistent with previously voiced GV resident preferences.
