Time for the Globe High Five! ✋
A quick look at five things worth celebrating across our community this week!
There’s a lot to be proud of this week. From steady progress to big-picture advocacy, here are five things worth celebrating across our community:
1️⃣ Strengthening Our Team
We’re excited to welcome a new in-house Planning & Zoning Administrator! Helping to guide thoughtful growth and support the future of Globe.
2️⃣ Projects Moving Ahead
Important community projects continue to move forward:
• The Skate Park project is progressing, with American Ramp scheduled for the Council Meeting on March 31st
• The Jesse Hayes Sidewalk project is advancing, with a bid opening set for May 1st
3️⃣ Local Investment & Activity
Seven commercial projects are currently in progress, including:
• A groundbreaking at CVRMC this week
• The opening of WaFd Bank
These are strong signs of continued investment in our community.
4️⃣ New Tools for Residents
We’re making it easier to connect with City services and manage resources:

• All new water meters are now installed! Residents can begin using WaterScope 2.0 to better understand and manage water use
5️⃣ Advocating for Globe
City leadership recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to advocate directly for our community. Mayor Al Gameros, Councilman Fernando Shipley, Councilman Jesse Leetham, and City Manager Paul Jepson had several key meetings, including with Congressman Greg Stanton, Representative Juan Ciscomani, Representative Eli Crane, Senator Ruben Gallego, Congressman Andy Biggs, and Senator Mark Kelly.
A key priority was working with the Natural Resources Conservation Service to pursue a match waiver and continuing efforts to secure a FEMA declaration, both important steps in supporting recovery across Globe, Miami, and Gila County.

As part of their contract with The City of Globe for the water meter changes, Phoenix Water Solutions (PWS) is performing a service line inspection to determine if the City’s service line or a customer’s water service line may contain lead. The City of Globe is required by Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to complete this process by November 2027.
The inspections must be done at 3 points:
1) City’s side of the meter (done at time of meter change)
2) Customer’s side of the meter (done at time of meter change)
3) 18” from the home or building (still needs to be completed)
A PWS member will be entering your property to get the 3rd point inspection. They will attempt to make contact with a resident and then will proceed to locate a visible water line within 18” of the home or structure and will be taking pictures. If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Smith, City of Globe Construction/Utility Inspector at 928-200-9297.

Manned aerial mapping flights will take place in the coming days and weeks.
Manned aerial mapping flights will take place in the coming days and weeks.
Beginning the week of February 9, surveyors will be in the field setting the ground control for the aerial mapping. A total of 35 targets will be set for 3 mapping areas.
The areas are: Upper Pinal Creek, Six Shooter Canyon, and Russell Gulch. The targets will typically be visible as white “X” markings on the ground. Please do not disturb these markings.
Within the next few weeks, a manned aircraft will fly these areas at a flight height of approximately 1,000 feet to obtain new aerial imagery and LIDAR data to develop topographic mapping for these areas. This mapping will be the basis of improvement plans associated with upcoming flood mitigation work.
