Pinal County supervisors authorize outside conflict counsel to pursue State Bar filing

The Pinal County Board of Supervisors voted on Oct. 2, 2026 to authorize outside conflict counsel to take all necessary actions, including filing a charge with the State Bar of Arizona, according to the meeting record. Chairman Jeffrey McClure presented the item; the board approved it by roll call.

The agenda text notes the authorization follows discussion with counsel during an executive session on Sept. 30, 2026, but the public transcript provides no substantive details of that private session. The record lists members present (Chairman Jeffrey McClure in person; Vice-Chairman Jeff Serdy, Supervisor Rich Vitiello, Supervisor Mike Goodman and Supervisor Stephen Q. Miller telephonically) and staff present, but it does not include a vote tally or the names of a mover and seconder for the motion. No further details or next steps were recorded in the publicly available transcript.
