Manfredi Reveals Key Discussions Ahead at Tomorrow’s City Council Meeting

Interim Mayor Vincent Manfredi won’t pursue the permanent Mayor’s position, as the Maricopa City Council begins selecting a new leader. During a recent town hall, he addressed community questions while continuing to serve in his current role.

The Maricopa City Council is set to convene tomorrow at 6 p.m. at City Hall, located at 39700 W. Civic Center Plaza. A significant agenda item involves a proposal to amend the general plan, which would adjust the land use designation for approximately 184 acres at the southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Farrell Road. This change aims to reclassify the site for mixed use, paving the way for the Maricopa Towne Center.

Community involvement is encouraged. Citizens can express their opinions during the public comment portion without needing a speaker card. Your participation is vital in shaping this development.

Other matters on the agenda include:

• RES 25-21: Support for a grant application for Maricopa Seniors, Inc.
• IGA 25-09: Amendment to an existing agreement with the Arizona Department of Transportation concerning Murphy and Hartman Roads.
• ORD 25-05: A proposal to rezone 263 acres near Ralston Road and State Route 238.
• RES 25-23: Support for a grant application on behalf of the Hope Key Foundation.
• Resolutions to accept public infrastructure improvements in El Rancho Santa Rosa and Moonlight subdivisions.
• A presentation of the 2024 Office of Economic Opportunity Annual Report.

These decisions will significantly impact local neighborhoods, traffic flow, and overall quality of life. Engaging in this process is crucial for residents who wish to influence the future of Maricopa.
