After a brief discussion, the board unanimously passed the motion with a vote of 3-0, indicating a strong consensus among the supervisors on the importance of maintaining fiscal responsibility and ensuring the county's financial health.

This decision reflects ongoing efforts by the Cochise County Board to manage resources effectively, particularly in light of increasing demands for services and infrastructure.
