EASEMENTS
WHEREAS, on November 6, 2025, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved 
the Construction Management at Risk Professional Services Agreement Phase I Pre-Construction 
Services Contract #250024-CMR with Kitchell Contractors, Inc. of Arizona. (C-73-25-031-X-00) 
for Phase I Pre-Construction Services for the New West Valley Animal Care and Control Facility 
on County-owned land located at south side of Northern Avenue and west of New River Channel 
known as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 142-60-009E and 142-60-003Q (‘Project’); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-251(9), with unanimous consent of the Board, 
Maricopa County may grant easements on County property for public purposes to utilities without 
public auction and it is in the public interest to grant easements to such utilities, as defined in 
A.R.S. § 40-491, as are necessary to service and/or advance the Project; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to have the Project completed in a timely fashion; 
and;
WHEREAS, requiring that each individual grant of easement to a utility, as defined in 
A.R.S. § 40-491, necessary to service and advance the Project to be placed on a separate Board 
agenda for approval would unreasonably and unnecessarily delay the completion of the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Maricopa County Board of 
Supervisors does authorize its Chair, without the necessity of further Board action, to execute and 
deliver all easements to utilities, as defined in A.R.S. § 40-491, necessary to serve and/or advance

and accuracy of the easement; and
