City Council set to Select New Maricopa Mayor

With Mayor Christian Price’s resignation becoming official at the end of June, Council is now able to move forward with the process of selecting his replacement. Council will consider the appointment of a new mayor during the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting on August 16. Council was not able to officially appoint a new mayor until Mayor Price's resignation was effective.

Pursuant to the City Code and Arizona Revised Statures, the current vacancy for the mayor will be filled by appointment by the remaining members of Council. On August 16, if City Council determines that Maricopa residents are best served by selecting a member from the current City Council to complete the remainder of the term, they may take action to appoint a current Council member to fill such vacancy.

Each member of Maricopa's current City Council brings with them multiple years of experience and three members have previously served as Vice Mayor. City Staff looks forward to supporting the new Mayor and the excitement they will bring in our collective goal of serving Maricopa residents and creating a premier city in Arizona.
