Discussion of Potential Land Exchange Related to the 1996 Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Discussion of potential land exchange and draft letter.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Flagstaff was recently made aware of a potential land exchange that would seek to fulfill federal government commitments under the 1996 Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute Settlement Act (P.L. 104-363) (Attachment 1: East & West). Senator McCain and Congressman O’Halleran issued a letter informing the City about a potential settlement, seeking our input and sharing that "no federal lands have been predetermined for inclusion and that [they] will not advance any legislation in Congress without first seeking [our] input and support" (Attachment 2).
On February 26, 2018 the City of Flagstaff, Coconino County, the City of Winslow and Navajo County discussed a plan for a joint response to the letter (Attachment 3).
