The Pinal County Board of Supervisors on July 2 approved an ordinance regulating parking on county rights‑of‑way and county‑owned roadways after staff completed two work sessions and a public comment period.

Chris Wanamaker, county engineer, told the board that staff revised the draft ordinance after the first work session to better accommodate rural large‑lot areas and then conducted the required public notification. He said the public comment period produced no written comments. The board voted to adopt the ordinance.

Why it matters: the ordinance standardizes rules about parking on county roads and in the public right‑of‑way, giving county staff clear enforcement language and creating consistent expectations for residents in both rural and urban areas of the county.

Board action: the board voted to adopt the ordinance as presented. No written public comments were recorded during the advertised comment period; county staff said the item had been the subject of two prior work sessions with board input.
