Supervisors to begin evening meetings in May

PIMA COUNTY, Jan. 7, 2026 - The Pima County Board of Supervisors at its Jan. 6 meeting voted 5-0 to start meeting at 5 p.m., effective with the May 12 meeting. The Board also will start adding one study session each month, from 1 to 4:30 p.m., preceding that first meeting of the month.
The Board approved the new schedule through June 23, 2026. A schedule of meetings for July-December 2026 has not yet been approved.
Meetings will continue to be held on Tuesdays but will begin taking place the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The Board currently meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month. The new schedule avoids conflicting with meetings of the City of Tucson Mayor and Council, which meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of the month, except when there are holiday conflicts.
The Board asked the County Administrator and Clerk of the Board to review the financial impact of evening meetings but still plans to move ahead with the schedule change.
Study sessions will be open to the public, but they will not include a Call to the Public. That will still be offered during regularly scheduled meetings. Any member of the Board can put items on the study sessions.
The change in meeting time addressed Board members’ desire to offer additional opportunities for the public to participate in meetings.
