Cochise supervisors honor Howard G. Buffett for county public‑safety donations
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 25‑35 recognizing Howard G. Buffett and his foundation for philanthropic contributions to Cochise County and the Sheriff's Office; staff and officials cited donations that upgraded public‑safety communications.
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 25‑35 on Nov. 18 recognizing Howard G. Buffett and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation for philanthropic contributions to the county and its sheriff’s office.
County staff and the sheriff described donations that aided public‑safety communications upgrades. One speaker stated the total value of donations at 'over $100,000,000' and another corrected that on the record to approximately $24,000,000, explaining the larger figure may reflect inflation adjustments; staff emphasized the contributions helped modernize the county’s public‑safety radio and data systems and move the county toward interoperability with state systems.
The board adopted the resolution by voice vote. A short video will be provided to Mr. Buffett as part of the recognition.
