Narrative:

Prescott airport issued a NOTAM for our main runway to be closed for 1 hour on aug/xa/08. When we received a facsimile; it was showing the closure for a busy time period. After a controller; who was working controller in charge; continued to question the time period and after calling FSS; we finally determined that the city incorrectly wrote down a time that was meant to be local; but was written/assumed to be zulu time. The supervisor was not going to question anyone on the NOTAM and it took the controller/controller in charge to keep this error from becoming something more serious.
