Voters who are unsure about the specific details of a proposed increase to Coconino County's base spending limit will receive help this fall.
Tuesday night's Coconino County Board of Supervisors meeting featured presentations focused on the education outreach and communications efforts that county staff will be conducting ahead of the general election on Nov. 5. Coconino County Executive Steve Peru focused on three words in particular to describe the work that county staff will be completing over the next few months: awareness, outreach and engagement.
