Ruben Gallego to discuss the Federal Emergency Management Agency's denial of flood recovery funding. Vice Mayor Mike Stapleton and Mayor Al Gameros attended the meeting alongside Miami Mayor Gil Madrid, seeking federal advocacy for local recovery efforts. City officials reported that while there were no guarantees, the senator assured local leaders he would push the issue in Washington and understands the ongoing issues the region is facing. --- ### Regional flood mitigation agreement officially executed GLOBE, Ariz. — An intergovernmental agreement between the city of Globe, Gila County and the town of Miami has been fully executed to develop a coordinated, long-term flood mitigation plan. Robin Bradford, representing Freeport-McMoRan, announced that the company's new resilience fund is supporting the strategic effort. With the agreement approved by all three governments, Freeport-McMoRan is finalizing a consulting contract with Lucinda Andreani, the Coconino County Flood Control District administrator, for her expertise in post-wildfire mitigation. Andreani is expected to begin official work in early September. --- ### Multi-agency effort launched for private property debris removal GLOBE, Ariz. — A new soil and debris removal initiative is rolling out to assist private property owners heavily impacted by recent flooding. Mayor Al Gameros announced that volunteer groups including Team Rubicon are organizing to clear private lots, while Tiffany Construction is donating labor and equipment to transport the post-flood debris. The United Fund of Globe-Miami has also partnered in the effort and will cover all local landfill fees. Residents needing assistance are encouraged to contact the United Fund of Globe-Miami at (928) 961-1428 or by visiting ufglobemiami.com. --- ### Council approves phase two for Pinal Creek bank stabilization GLOBE, Ariz. — The city council approved the guaranteed maximum price for Tiffany Construction to begin phase two of the Natural Resources Conservation Service project. The upcoming phase will focus on bank stabilization and importing rock for critical areas of Pinal Creek. While the exact dollar figure of the guaranteed maximum price was not immediately available, city staff noted the approval marks a major step forward in reducing future flood risks and supporting the city's long-term recovery efforts. --- ### Recent monsoon storms aid Pinal Creek clearing efforts GLOBE, Ariz. — A recent storm that dropped heavy rain on Globe provided unexpected benefits for ongoing flood mitigation work. Tiffany Construction reported that the high water flows exposed old manholes, grade beams and other structures hidden in Pinal Creek that were causing major debris buildup. The storm allowed construction crews and engineers to safely observe how the creek reacted to water volume and make long-term adjustments to clear unseen blockages. --- ### City secures permanent drainage easements for flood work GLOBE, Ariz. — The city of Globe has successfully secured permanent drainage easements from eight property owners to allow Tiffany Construction to proceed with sediment removal and stabilization work. Only one property owner declined to grant an ingress and egress easement due to future building plans, prompting the city to secure an alternative access route through the Arizona Department of Transportation. The city is currently finalizing paperwork for an additional property revealed to need work during recent rains. --- ### Discounted medical flight memberships expiring soon GLOBE, Ariz. — Globe residents have until Aug. 12 to sign up for a heavily discounted PHI Air Medical membership. Because the city temporarily paused its municipal membership renewal to prioritize limited resources toward critical flood recovery and mitigation efforts, PHI is offering individual city households a $30 annual family membership. Mayor Al Gameros urged residents to take advantage of the rate, noting that it covers everyone in a household. Residents can enroll before the deadline by calling 480-841-5837 or visiting phicares.com. --- ### Council approves pool agreement for Piranhas Swim Team GLOBE, Ariz. — The city council unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding with the Globe Unified School District regarding the use of the municipal pool. The agreement establishes the terms and conditions for the Piranhas Swim Team to utilize the Globe Community Center pool for its upcoming season. The item was passed without debate as part of the council's consent agenda. --- --- Found a mistake? Have a news tip or feedback to share?
