Noah James Markham, a Tempe resident, told the Queen Creek Town Council during the public‑comment portion of the meeting that he had had "a few altercations" with Queen Creek police officers and that, as a person with a disability, he should not have to "worry about the fear of my life" when interacting with officers.

Markham asked the town to provide police training on interacting with people with disabilities and to hire more women officers. He also urged paid leave for officers who take maternity leave and for women who experience miscarriage or abortion. Separately, he asked the council to consider higher pay for firefighters, increased Section 8 housing and improvement of sewer infrastructure to eliminate noticeable odors that he said affected him while driving.

The town did not take formal action on the requests during the meeting. Vice Mayor reminded the public that state law limits back‑and‑forth discussion during public comment. The council did not provide an immediate staff direction on the items Markham raised during the meeting.
