Coconino County supervisors approve a slate of proclamations and several consent items; two consent items pulled
Summary
At its April 8 meeting the Coconino County Board of Supervisors voted to approve six proclamations and multiple consent items, including small community grants and board appointments. Two consent items were removed from consideration and will not be voted on tonight.
The Coconino County Board of Supervisors on April 8 approved a set of ceremonial proclamations and a number of routine consent items, and removed two consent items from tonight's agenda for later consideration.
The board voted to approve proclamations recognizing International Dark Sky Week (April 21–27, 2025), April 2025 as Earth Month, April 2025 as National County Government Month, May 1, 2025 as Law Day, May 2025 as Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and May 2025 as Treatment Court Month. The proclamations were read into the record by staff and community partners and carried on voice votes after motions on each item.
Why it matters: Proclamations are symbolic actions but reflect county priorities and longstanding partnerships — for example, the Dark Sky proclamation highlights Coconino County’s relationship with Flagstaff-area observatories and tourism, while the Treatment Court proclamation emphasized local specialty court programs and cited local cost-savings figures provided to the board.
Key consent votes and other actions - A funding agreement with the Boys & Girls Club of Flagstaff: $3,000 total ($1,500 from District 1 community initiative funds and $1,500 from District 2) for a youth leadership program, term through 06/30/2025. Approved by voice vote. - Acceptance of a FY2025 grant (Cycle 38) for the drug, gang, violent crime control program supporting recovery court functions: $62,861.08 from the Administrative Office of the Courts with a local cost share noted in the staff memo. Approved by voice vote. - Workforce Development Board appointments: The board approved appointments recommended by the Coconino County Workforce Development Board (Jeff McCormick, Carolyn Kidd, Jason Jones, John Connolly) for terms 04/08/2025–04/08/2027. Approved by voice vote; nominees spoke briefly. - Award of RFP 2025-514 to Emergency Management Partners LLC for development of the county's multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan and supporting materials: contract not to exceed $100,000 from the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) 2023 grant. Approved by voice vote. - Grant award contract CNA 25-102 with the State of Arizona Constable Ethics Standards Training Board to purchase duty weapon equipment for constables in Williams and Flagstaff ($2,298.35) and a corresponding budget amendment. Approved by voice vote.
Items removed from consent: Supervisors asked that consent agenda items numbered 9 and 21 be removed from the consent agenda and not considered tonight; staff said item 21 would be continued to the April 22 agenda after vendor revisions, while the timing for item 9 was not specified.
Votes and procedure: Most roll-call actions on proclamations and consent agenda items were handled by motion and carried on unanimous or voice vote; the record does not include roll-call tallies naming each supervisor's vote. When recorded, motions, seconds, and the phrase "opposed, motion carries" appear in the transcript.
What’s next: Items pulled from consent may return to a future agenda after staff follow-up. Several proclamations correspond with county outreach events (e.g., Dark Sky and Earth Day activities) that county staff and partners said they will publicize.
