A mayor’s to-do list is essential for staying organized, prioritizing community needs and ensuring efficient governance. It helps track key projects, address pressing issues and improve city operations. A well-structured list keeps leadership focused, accountable, and proactive in delivering results that enhance residents’ quality of life and city development. Here are some of the 2025 to-do lists from PHX East Valley mayors.
Apache Junction Mayor Chip Wilson
Wilson says the top three items on his to-do list for the City of Apache Junction in 2025 include:
• Continuing the advancement of the Weekes Wash Retention Basin project, a multi-use detention facility near Lost Dutchman Boulevard and State Highway 88. During monsoon season, Weekes Wash Retention presents a significant flood risk to residents and businesses, including properties in the floodplain. This project aims to reduce flood risks for community members, reduce the risk to utility infrastructure, enhance emergency service access and remove many properties downstream from the FEMA floodplain. The city was awarded $44.5 million in federal funding and is working to obtain additional funding.
