Arizona Public Service is looking to build another solar power facility in Yuma County.
APS will approach the Yuma County Board of Supervisors this week for a permit to allow a facility on a 230 acre parcel near Hyder. The plant would be located about three-quarters of a mile north of Palomas Road on Avenue 75E.
The Supervisors will consider the permit at their meeting Monday. Other items on the agenda include:

- Acceptance of $734,540 from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security for the Yuma County Sheriff's Office's Operation Stonegarden. The grant will play for overtime and radio and car camera equipment purchases.
- Authorize the appointment of David Haws as a Judge Pro Tempore for Yuma County Superior Court from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2013.
The meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Board of Supervisors auditorium,198 S. Main St.
