The Queen Creek Town Council held a regular session on June 4, 2025, focusing on community engagement and honoring local organizations. The meeting began with a reminder from the council about the importance of maintaining decorum during discussions, emphasizing that the session is meant for conducting town business rather than a political rally. Attendees were asked to refrain from cheering or clapping outside of ceremonial portions of the agenda, and speakers were limited to three minutes each, with only one comment allowed per person per agenda item.

The council expressed appreciation for public participation, noting that comments without identifying names and addresses would not be included in the official record. They also clarified that, according to Arizona law, they could not respond to issues not listed on the agenda.

A highlight of the evening was the presence of the color guard from the Queen Creek American Legion, Duane Ellsworth Post 129, which was honored for its 20 years of service to the town. The post has been active in supporting veterans and youth programs, including Boys State and Junior ROTC, and has initiatives like Operation Wounded Veterans, which provides comfort items to injured veterans and their families.

The meeting included an invocation led by the post's chaplain, Peter Anello, who called for integrity and cooperation in the council's decision-making. The council presented a proclamation to the American Legion Post 129, recognizing their contributions to the community and celebrating their two decades of service.

Overall, the session underscored the council's commitment to respectful dialogue and community service, while also highlighting the significant role of local organizations in supporting veterans and youth in Queen Creek.
