Camp Verde Council Set to Act on Town Manager Resignation, $481,238 Sidewalk Bid
Camp Verde's Town Council has a packed July agenda, with the Town Manager's departure and a nearly half-million-dollar sidewalk project heading the list. All three recent meetings are agenda-only at this time — minutes have not yet been published, so the items below reflect what was scheduled for action or discussion, not confirmed outcomes.
Town Manager Resignation and Interim Selection
The Council scheduled a July 8 special session for a closed-door discussion of the Town Manager's employment and related legal advice under A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(1) and (A)(3). No public votes were listed for that session.
A second special session on July 15 added three executive sessions: legal advice on town water resources updates from Town Water Attorney Steve Wene, legal advice on the Equestrian Estates water rights transfer also from Wene, and legal advice plus consideration of a position on a separation agreement with the Town Manager from Town Attorney Jon Paladini.
The July 15 regular session agenda lists acceptance of the Town Manager's resignation effective immediately, with a separation agreement providing six months' severance. The same agenda includes discussion and possible selection of an interim Town Manager.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed whether the Council voted on these items or who, if anyone, was selected as interim Town Manager.
Verde Lakes Drive Sidewalk Project
The July 15 regular session agenda includes awarding Bid No. 26-230 for the Verde Lakes Drive Sidewalk Improvements to Lincoln Constructors at $481,238.75. The bid award was listed for council action. Confirmation of the award awaits published minutes.
Liquor License and RV Park Public Hearings
Two public hearings were scheduled on the July 15 regular agenda:
- A restaurant liquor license for Agustina's Fogon at 396 S. Main Street.
- A use permit to operate Jackpot Ranch RV Park at 2025 W. Reservation Loop Road.
Outcomes of these hearings are not yet available.
Water Rights Discussions
The July 15 special session included closed sessions on town water resources and the Equestrian Estates water rights transfer. No public votes were listed on these items; the agenda describes them as legal advice sessions with Town Water Attorney Steve Wene.
What We Know and What We Don't
All three meetings are listed as "agenda only" — minutes have not been published. That means the summaries above describe what the Council scheduled for discussion or action, not what was ultimately decided. Vote tallies, if any, are not available. Residents seeking confirmed outcomes should watch for the published minutes on the town's official website.
Coming Up
No public meetings are listed on the provided schedule for the next 14 days. Residents should check the town's official calendar for any newly posted sessions.
