The City of Flagstaff will move to Phase 4 of its COVID-19 Reentry Plan on April 11. This move is due to the downward trajectory in the number of new cases, hospitalizations and COVID-related deaths in Flagstaff. The City will continue to monitor conditions and take steps it deems necessary to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 exposure and spread within City facilities.

Under Phase 4, City facilities operating hours will be as follows: 

• City Hall will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• The Flagstaff City-Coconino County Public Library (Downtown location) will be open: 
  1. Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. – 8 p.m.
  2. Friday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
  3. Saturday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  4. Sunday 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. 
• The East Flagstaff Community Library will be open:
  1. Monday – Thursday 9 AM – 8 p.m.
  2. Friday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
  3. Saturday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
  4. Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Both library meeting rooms will be available for reservation starting April 11 and library programs will begin transitioning back to in-person. 

• The Hal Jensen Recreation Center will be open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
• The Jay Lively Activity Center will be open regular hours which may vary with monthly programming. Please see the monthly calendar for the up-to-date schedule (https://www.flagstaff.az.gov/DocumentCenter/View/51065/JLAC-Calendar-April-2022?bidId=). The party room will be available again for rentals. 
• The Joe C Montoya Community and Senior Center will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays.
• The Aquaplex will be open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday including the reopening of the climbing wall. Community and party rooms will be available again for rentals. Pool capacity will increase but may be limited at times due to staffing. Kids Club will remain closed due to staffing shortages, but steps are being taken to reopen this area as soon as possible.

Please note that some work groups are still in the process of filling vacant positions. In the event that a service is not staffed throughout the entire opening period of the facility, members of the public will be provided with contact information for assistance. 

Council meetings will continue to occur on a hybrid basis, with public participation available both in person and virtually.
