Council approves in‑kind support for binational Interalcaldes summit to be hosted in Nogales
Summary
Fundacion Onore y Causa (FHC USA) asked the council to support a March binational mayoral summit (Interalcaldes); council approved an in‑kind contribution of about $2,000, and organizers said the summit will include mayors and firefighters from U.S. and Mexican cities.
Fundacion Onore y Causa (FHC USA) requested the council’s support for Interalcaldes, a binational summit of mayors and firefighters scheduled for March. The council approved an in‑kind contribution to the foundation.
The request matters because the summit will bring municipal leaders from both sides of the border to Nogales and organizers said it could boost cultural, economic and public‑safety collaboration.
Maritza Liniguera, president of FHC USA, described the proposed March 28–30 summit and an awards dinner. Liniguera said she expects mayors from Mexico and the U.S. and representatives of firefighting departments to attend and described events including a border gathering and a forum highlighting binational collaboration. “This event presents a significant opportunity for our city not just to celebrate public safety heroes, but to extend Nogales' role as leadership in fostering binational relationships,” Liniguera said.
Staff told council the foundation requested in‑kind municipal support — roughly $2,000 worth of in‑kind services — and the council approved the request by motion. No direct cash appropriation was recorded in the meeting minutes.
