The Safford City Council will consider a vote of intent to move forward with proposed utility and service rate increases during the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on Monday, August 11, 2025.

- A public hearing, tentatively scheduled for Monday, October 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., and
- A final vote for approval or disapproval, tentatively scheduled for Monday, October 27, 2025.
