District 2 Supervisor Liz Archuleta — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The month of October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Victim Witness Services for Coconino County is doing a Campaign for Healthy Relationships throughout Coconino County. While it is important to recognize that domestic violence is a real problem that people deal with daily, we also want to recognize a way to prevent it is by knowing about and striving for healthy relationships.

They are hosting a video series. You can watch the vide below. This video highlights the Page Office for Victim Witness and invites you to send a letter of gratitude to someone. Please subscribe so you get notified of the new videos. Also, please forward this and share with whoever you know or can. They will continue releasing these videos every Monday and Friday of the month.

They are also doing a Community Word Search in Flagstaff, Williams, Page, and Tuba City! Find at least 2 words posted at local businesses and agencies and then go to our website to enter to win prizes! All the words are related to healthy relationships.

An update to the 2001 Doney Park Timberline Fernwood area plan is underway. The area plan is as an amendment to the Coconino County Comprehensive Plan that reflects residents’ vision of the future. It contains goals and policies and provides guidance for decision-makers reviewing land use projects such as conditional use permits, rezoning requests and subdivisions.

The informational phase concluded in August and the committee is now seeking input through a community survey. The survey is intended to further inform the process with insight into the community’s perceptions and vision for the future, and to understand today’s community interests, characteristics, needs and issues. Results of the survey will guide future development in the area.

Residents of the area, as well as business and property owners are invited to provide their feedback through the survey which can be found here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DPTFsurvey. The survey will close on October 31, 2020.
