Coconino County offices and COVID-19 testing site closures for Veterans Day
All Coconino County offices will be closed Wednesday, November 11 in observance of Veterans Day, a celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
The COVID-19 testing site located at Fort Tuthill County Park will also be closed in recognition of the holiday. Testing will resume on Thursday, November 12. Testing site hours are Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.
“Each year, Coconino County honors those who have sacrificed to serve the country. We express special gratitude to the National Guard. Coconino County has benefited from a National Guard Team, who has supported our COVID-19 response. This group of dedicated individuals has been away from their family and friends during an especially challenging time to assist us with testing operations to help stop the spread of COVID-19. This year and every year, thank you to those who serve,” said County Manager, James Jayne.
While the administrative offices at the Sheriff’s Office will be closed, Dispatch, Patrol and Detention will conduct business as usual. Records will be open from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Please dial 9-1-1 for emergencies. For non-emergencies, dial 928-774-4523 to connect with the non-emergency Dispatch number or to leave a message for one of the administrative offices.
In the event of a snowstorm or other impactful weather during the holiday, County Public Works crews will be deployed to keep County roadways open and passable.
Coconino County Health and Human Service (CCHHS) Animal Management will have an officer available from 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 11, 2020. Contact the CCHHS Animal Management office at 928-679-8756 to leave a message and an officer will return the call.
Coconino County’s parks and natural areas will remain open during the holiday, but administrative offices at Fort Tuthill will be closed and limited staff or services will be available. The Fort Tuthill Bike Park and The Disc Golf Course are open.
Coconino County lifts fire restrictions in coordination with other agencies
Coconino County has lifted all fire restrictions on private lands in the unincorporated areas of the County in coordination with similar actions by Coconino National Forest and Kaibab National Forest, as well as other agencies in the area.
The lifting of the fire restrictions is effective November 10 at 8:00 AM. The County action to lift fire restrictions ends the County’s campfire ban and Stage 1 fire restrictions enacted earlier in the year.
The end of the fire restrictions comes with cooler temperatures, improved relative humidity and recent snowfall that have helped to retard fire potential in the forests.
