Pima County Board of Supervisors — What to Watch

Tuesday, October 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM

Board of Supervisors' Hearing Room

2 substantive items on the agenda (2 for discussion, 0 on consent calendar)

Pima County Supervisors to Discuss Hiring the County's Top Executive

The Pima County Board of Supervisors will meet behind closed doors Tuesday to discuss hiring a new County Administrator, the unelected official who runs county government day to day, possibly including contract negotiations. The meeting also opens with a public comment period, giving residents a chance to tell supervisors what they want in the county's next top executive before talks continue in private.

Supervisors Weigh Who Will Run Pima County Government

The board will go into executive session, a private meeting closed to the public, to discuss hiring and appointing a County Administrator and possibly negotiating that person's contract. The County Administrator carries out the board's policies and oversees thousands of county employees, a budget of more than a billion dollars, and services residents rely on, from libraries and parks to public health, wastewater, and roads. Under Arizona's open meeting law, supervisors can deliberate in private but cannot take a final vote there, so any decision to hire someone or approve a contract must come later in a public meeting.

Not on the consent calendar. This is a discussion item held in closed session.

Residents Get a Say Before the Doors Close

Before the closed-door discussion, the board will take public comments, the only part of this hiring discussion where residents can weigh in directly. People who can't attend can email written comments to COB_mail@pima.gov, and the county says all comments will be provided to the supervisors. Because the person chosen will shape how county services are run for years, this is an early opportunity to raise priorities such as budget management, transparency, or how the next administrator should handle the county's relationships with Tucson and the state.

Not on the consent calendar.
