The west three lanes of Beaver Street will be closed at the northwest corner of Butler Avenue and Beaver Street so that a crane may be parked to complete construction work during the week.

Earlier Oct. 11 – and after a hearing held on October 4 – Judge James Smith of the Maricopa County Superior Court entered a preliminary injunction (attached) precluding the State of Arizona from collecting a $1.1 million “assessment” that the Arizona Legislature said should be collected from the City of Flagstaff.
That “assessment” arises out of legislation passed several years ago (HB 2756) in direct response to Proposition 414, under which the City’s voters recognized the needs of the community and adopted a minimum wage higher than that of the State at large. In July of this year, the City filed a lawsuit against the State challenging the constitutionality of a recently passed law that, for the first time, authorized an “assessment” against the City in connection with its minimum wage.
On October 5, the Flagstaff City Council approved a professional services contract for five years with Terros Health for an alternate response mobile unit in the amount of $2,583,300.

The mobile response unit will provide proactive outreach to the community and respond to public safety calls, such as public intoxication, substance use, trauma informed, and mental or behavioral health related events. Including a behavioral health professional on the mobile response unit will create a higher level of service for those in need in the Flagstaff community.
