The Flagstaff City Council unanimously passed a recession plan last week designed to guide the city through both the current economic downturn and those in the future.
City Manager Greg Clifton said staff began development of the plan late last year, which he called fortuitous timing.
Councilmember Jim McCarthy said the city manager had shown real leadership in beginning the process of developing a recession plan long before anyone had foreseen the current crisis.
