Supervisor Ontiveros backs Pinewood Fire District collaboration for fundraiser event

Coconino County's Board of Supervisors made significant strides in community support during their special session on May 6, 2025, approving a fundraiser event aimed at establishing a library in a domestic violence shelter. The board unanimously endorsed the Book Blossom Foundation's initiative, which seeks to empower women by providing access to reading materials. Supervisor Ontiveros expressed confidence in the collaboration between local fire chiefs, ensuring safety for the event, which will be held in an area straddling the Mormon Lake and Pinewood Fire Districts.

The meeting also addressed a request for a permanent extension of premises for the Muns Park RV Camp's liquor license. This request, presented by agent Camilla Alarcon, received unanimous support from the board, reflecting the camp's successful history of temporary extensions without any concerns from local departments.

These decisions highlight the board's commitment to enhancing community resources and supporting local initiatives. As the county moves forward, the successful implementation of these projects is expected to foster greater community engagement and provide essential services to vulnerable populations. The board will continue its discussions on the fiscal year 2026 budget, indicating a proactive approach to addressing the county's needs.
