He said the governor of Sonora responded positively to a request for a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and that the city expects to work on an MOU in the coming months.

“His response was a resounding yes. He wants to work on an MOU with us in the next couple months to get that process moving,” Mayor Nichols said while reporting on the summit. Nichols also said he spoke with a federal undersecretary about international cooperation for the project and described broad support from state and Sonoran partners.

The mayor characterized the international relationship-building as an important step in permitting and coordination, adding that the Sonora governor’s response and federal engagement make the international cooperation component look like “an all go ahead for the spaceport as far as our relationship with Mexico.”

The remarks were delivered as part of the mayor’s summary of current events. Council members did not take formal action on the item during the meeting; the comments were informational rather than a council directive or vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Yuma Council Meeting July 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Mayor Nichols told council he presented the spaceport project at the Arizona-Mexico Commission Summit, received positive response from the governor of Sonora about a memorandum of understanding, and said a draft MOU is expected in the coming months; no formal council action was taken.","taxTitle","Yuma, Yuma County, Arizona","taxId",3669,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6177482,"Yuma council adopts fiscal year 2026 property tax levy and two other ordinances on consent",98,563020,661660,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5337765-865b8ad441b7541002705f8622c62991&start=563&end=661","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5337765-865b8ad441b7541002705f8622c62991/thumbnail_563020.jpg","/articles/6177482/Yuma/Yuma-County/Arizona/Yuma-council-adopts-fiscal-year-2026-property-tax-levy-and-two-other-ordinances-on-consent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177482-12cc554870fe843767fa94c7c368f8e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163678&Signature=P8JWVGcpcqeqgs6-qgsHSLlECtic8uG2AVbpxlXc~ctgWbJozc3gAhN3wLbl1syrWywb50JlYClGvI2T6wHFfWQBpQmKi4tjwP~wwKlIwC-DqQGA1fwuiNVQhXRM3dzPIG1ccd0Rc5IjqCnUNzYHDiwqzEQnvKApxHRE4orWa8t9sN2MmlSY0~6aLCOJ0FE-EhWart9KUpKDBXo9pJ97IIhwB4-Sq2HunGuzWet3zP~x22vOdnBlbjKRmzKUP4sJDyFVuKWIRgKVAjhUQFkqeVaGyfdi7G5UY0wNHheWXDoMQctnKtnJk2D7Ju2yoik-7GGS1fRhGpQsnstANcmz1w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yuma City Council adopted three ordinances on July 2, 2025, including Ordinance O2025-2024 to adopt the fiscal year 2026 City of Yuma primary property tax levy, the Main Street Mall and Off-Street Parking Maintenance District No. 1 property tax levy, and 13 municipal improvement district tax levies.

The ordinances were part of the ordinance consent agenda and were approved by roll call after no speakers registered. Councilmember Morales moved to adopt the ordinance consent agenda and Councilmember Watts seconded; the clerk called the roll and recorded unanimous ayes.

The other two adopted ordinances on the consent agenda were O2025-2022 (amendment to Ordinance O2021-7 concerning city departments) and O2025-2023 (rezoning of property at the southeast corner of State Route SR 195 and Fortieth Street). The transcript lists the ordinance titles but does not provide levy amounts or detailed fiscal schedules during the meeting.

“The ordinances have also been adopted,” the clerk announced after the roll-call vote.

No public comments were recorded for the ordinance consent agenda items. The council approved the measures on consent, meaning the items passed without separate public hearings or extended council debate at this meeting.","On July 2, 2025, the City Council adopted three ordinances on the consent agenda, including Ordinance O2025-2024 setting the FY2026 primary property tax levy and multiple maintenance and improvement district levies; no public testimony was recorded.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6177488,"Yuma council adopts two intergovernmental agreements with ADOT; mayor recuses on one",111,368810,480800,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5337765-865b8ad441b7541002705f8622c62991&start=368&end=480","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5337765-865b8ad441b7541002705f8622c62991/thumbnail_368810.jpg","/articles/6177488/Yuma/Yuma-County/Arizona/Yuma-council-adopts-two-intergovernmental-agreements-with-ADOT-mayor-recuses-on-one","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177488-ad29f2e739fecb87c93459542df9cd1c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163678&Signature=US7V704y7GcGBn3Bf3ar5nFPz9DSd~ttwCLmnZT-S6L76PgC4F5sod-OnJUV8qcwWAS2zXz1ssgM9WjwEc8hC7qzD11tGKnYAs8ezA2kt53SGbtuT4rM2em86L~da1AXXhlNBgaSG-lcqQSBN3cVGcp0T8tLSnzWfvVTBw~vfufSrfZ49gEw6~Xl1voc0LjGFsJCwq7V2CKtMXcoB8q0MCeU5c2LECG40~tcBjPD-qqPdVSZ6u1ZjGrgqQFSJRmyNSGsrVbFfX28tq4S5ctCiBpdAHae00RbvsYfUOIRUfD6rS7dht~fjHdGVLira-RZdIJdX8Xvg3NhD0K8FJej7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yuma City Council adopted two intergovernmental agreements with the Arizona Department of Transportation on July 2, 2025, including Resolution R2025-074 and an amendment for an HSIP pavement-marking project (R2025-075).

Councilmember Morales moved to adopt R2025-074, and Councilmember Watts seconded.

Later the council adopted R2025-075 (an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with ADOT for an HSIP pavement-marking project) by the consent agenda with a separate roll-call vote that included Mayor Nichols.

“I will declare a conflict on the first one, R2025-074, the intergovernmental agreement with ADOT,” Mayor Nichols said before turning the meeting over to Councilmember Morris.

There were no public comments on either resolution.
