- 20 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
- 10. Legislative Action to Address Short-Term Rentals Discussion/Direction/Action: Directing the County Administrator to send a letter to Governor Katie Hobbs, Arizona Senate President Warren Peterson, Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro, and the legislative delegation of Pima County urging them to support legislative action to address short-term rentals. (District 3)
- 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (11/4/25) (Clerk’s Note: Supervisor Heinz requests this item be removed from the agenda.) Fiscal Year (FY)26 Emergency Funding for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona and the Sahuarita Food Bank & Community Resource Center Discussion/Direction/Action: Directing the County Administration to send Emergency Funding in the amount of $600,000.00 to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, and $200,000.00 to the Sahuarita Food Bank & Community Resource Center, to ensure that they have the food resources they need to meet the increased demand they already are experiencing due to the federal government shutdown, the passage of the “One Big Ugly Bill” Act which strips SNAP eligibility from tens of thousands of Pima County residents, including tens of thousands of children, and other Trump administration policies that have wreaked havoc on the economy, affecting working class and poor families the most. This funding, limited for now to FY 2025/26, shall come from the approximate $8.38M in extra, unencumbered and unrestricted Beginning General Fund Balance with which the County began FY 2025/26, per the most recent Financial Update provided to the Board. (Projected Beginning General Fund Balance of $126,746,493.00 as of July 1, 2025, rather than the budgeted amount which was $118,366,104.00.) Smaller Resource Centers and Food Pantries are welcome to apply for funding through the upcoming Outside Agency RFP process in November. Additionally, directing the Administrator to support the Food Banks’ outreach and communications efforts to the broader community about the importance of making a charitable gift this season to ensure that nobody in our community goes hungry. (District 2)
- 12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (11/4/25) (Clerk’s Note: Supervisor Heinz requests this item be removed from the agenda.) Fiscal Year (FY)26 Emergency Funding for Refugee Resettlement Agencies Serving Pima County Discussion/Direction/Action: Directing the County Administration to send Emergency Funding in the amount of $250,000.00 each, to the three Refugee Resettlement Agencies serving Pima County: IRC of Arizona, Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest, and Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona ($750,000.00 in total funding, FY26), for the purposes of supporting refugees, asylees and others they serve to complete the process of applying for Legal Permanent Resident (“Green Card”) status and related services. The funding shall come from the approximately $8.38M in extra, unencumbered and unrestricted Beginning General Fund Balance with which the County began FY 2025/26, per the most recent Financial Update provided to the Board. (Projected Beginning General Fund Balance of $126,746,493.00 as of July 1, 2025, rather than the budgeted amount which was $118,366,104.00.) As was made clear at the October 21st Board of Supervisors meeting, because of Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” refugees, asylees and others who have not yet adjusted their status to Legal Permanent Resident - though legally here and legally authorized to work, and though they are paying taxes! - have now lost access to basic social safety net supports like SNAP (as of 11/1/25), AHCCCS (as of 10/1/26) and Medicare (as of 1/1/27) as well. The more legally present refugees, asylees, and others whom we can help to adjust their status to Legal Permanent Resident (all taxpaying members of our community already!), the more members of our community who will continue to benefit from the basic social safety net programs that we all contribute to, and we all rely on. (District 2)
