In addition, Farrell was the chairman of the Committee to Incorporate Maricopa, which successfully became Arizona's 88th municipality on October 15, 2003. Farrell was chosen by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors to serve on the first City Council and then was elected by councilmembers as Maricopa's Founding Mayor.

On May 3, 2004, Farrell received the "2004 American Society for Public Administration Superior Service Award". Farrell is a founding board member and chairman of the Pinal Partnership and currently sits on the Central Arizona Economic Development Foundation Board. He also represents the City of Maricopa with the Central Arizona Association of Governments. As a fourth generation Farrell in Maricopa, he and his wife Lori, have started a fifth generation of Farrell's with their twins, Luke and Selah and continue the growing roots of this historic Maricopa Family.

"One of my main goals through incorporation is to help establish a workforce for our community through industry, to help minimize commuting in and out of our city so that we will not become a bedroom community of the valley. It is also very important that we build on our education and recreational activities for our youth so that they can become active and bright young adults."
