City of Yuma Legistar record for Motion MC 2026-172, passed September 16, 2026. The motion authorizes City participation with Mohave, La Paz, and Yuma counties in litigation to enforce a 2024 federal district court judgment requiring an environmental impact statement for the proposed transfer of GSC Farm’s estimated consumptive use from 2,913.30 acre-feet of fourth-priority Colorado River entitlement to Queen Creek. The motion concerns that transfer and the existing judgment. It is separate from MC 2026-173, which concerns possible legal action over the Department of the Interior’s August 2026 operating decision. The record describes a $100,000 City cost cap.
