Thank You, Globe!
The City of Globe would like to extend a HUGE and sincere thank you to the many property owners who have signed Temporary Construction Easements, allowing Tiffany Construction access to privately owned portions of Pinal Creek floor for sediment removal activities.
Your willingness to partner in this effort is helping protect homes, businesses, and infrastructure, along the flood path throughout our community.
Sediment removal is underway within City limits. The project will remove a volume of built-up material equal to that of a football field stacked 47 stories high! Removal of this sediment will restore the creek’s historical capacity to safely pass stormwater through the City.
Every property along the creek matters! Water ignores property lines, so to reduce flooding, stormwater must move safely through the whole corridor without obstructions. If even one area is left untreated, it can disrupt flow and increase flood risk for neighboring properties.
Happily, all but three private property owners have signed Construction Easements allowing this work to begin. City staff will continue working with the remaining property owners to encourage participation and ensure adjoining properties are not needlessly put at additional risk of flooding during the upcoming monsoon season.
We are at 20% completion now with final completion set for mid-July, just prior to the arrival of the forecast of Super El Niño driven monsoons
Thank you for helping build a safer and more resilient Globe.

Update on the State’s Budget Approval of 2.5 million for Globe
The Arizona State’s 2.5 million in budget funding does not eliminate Globe’s flood recovery costs. The funding from the State means the taxpayers of Globe will not have to bear the full burden of the local cost match required for the Pinal Creek Flood Mitigation Project.
Many residents are asking how the recently approved State Budget will be used, and we want to provide that information directly and transparently.
The City of Globe's $2.5 million allocation will help to meet the NRCS local funding match required for our flood mitigation project. These funds will help support ongoing efforts while reducing the financial burden to the City of Globe and its taxpayers.
Ultimately, the Globe City Council will make the final decision regarding the expenditure of these funds through the Council process and in compliance with the State budget requirement that the funding be used for Disaster Relief within the City of Globe.
This funding WILL:
✅ Help satisfy the City's share of the required local match for the NRCS flood mitigation project
✅ Help protect properties along the floodway from the threat of this year’s upcoming monsoon season
✅ Support ongoing flood mitigation efforts to assist in creating safer waterways
✅ Reduce the financial burden on Globe taxpayers
This funding WILL NOT:
❌ Be used for salary increases
❌ Be used for elected officials
❌ Be used for unrelated City operations
❌ Be used for projects unrelated to flood mitigation efforts
❌ Be given directly to local businesses or residents
Flood mitigation is a long-term effort that requires partnership at every level. We are grateful to Governor Katie Hobbs, the Arizona Legislature, Gila County, the Town of Miami, and the many community partners who helped secure these resources for our region.
This investment helps ensure that critical flood mitigation work can continue as our community recovers, while helping protect local taxpayers from carrying the full burden of these costs alone.

The City of Globe would like to apologize for the recent banner program letters distributed in partnership with Community Showcase Banners.
This program was originally initiated prior to the September flood event as a way to celebrate our community and, later, to support business visibility in Historic Downtown Globe while highlighting the resilience of our region. While those intentions were positive, we recognize that we did not adequately consider the program’s cost given the ongoing challenges many residents and businesses continue to face.
After listening to community feedback, it became clear that this program was not the right fit for Globe at this time. As a result, the City has canceled its agreement with Community Showcase Banners, and the program will not move forward. While the City had planned to explore having the banners produced locally in an effort to support local businesses while also providing an additional location for business marketing, the program did not advance far enough for those discussions or arrangements to take place.
We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their concerns. Community feedback matters, and it helps ensure that our decisions remain aligned with the needs and priorities of the people we serve.
We regret the frustration and disappointment this program caused and sincerely apologize for the oversight. Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to engage with us as we work to move our community forward.

The City of Globe is sincerely grateful to all property owners and residents who participated in the Right of Entry (ROE) process, allowing crews to evaluate creek conditions and move this important recovery work forward.
Following completion of the engineering analysis, the City is getting ready to begin sediment removal operations within Globe city limits.
As part of this next phase, some property owners (not all) will be contacted by City staff regarding Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs). Staff will begin calling and/or visiting affected property owners starting Friday, May 22.
A Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) is a temporary legal agreement that allows the City and its contractors limited access to specific portions of private property for flood recovery and creek restoration work.
These easements may be needed for:
• Sediment removal
• Creek restoration activities
• Equipment and construction access
• Temporary staging related to recovery operations
Important to know:
• TCEs are temporary
• Property ownership does not change
• Easements are limited in scope, location, and duration
• Full property rights remain with the owner once work is complete
We appreciate the community’s continued cooperation and support as this critical recovery work moves into the next phase, and we race to beat the upcoming monsoon season.
