Mr. Eric. 00:01:50
Mayor scale. 00:01:53
You're up. 00:01:55
We're getting back feed is that, can you hear it? 00:01:59
You can't hear it, OK? 00:02:03
All right. If we have no IT problems, let's continue. Eric, go ahead. 00:02:06
How about now? 00:02:22
Can you hear me now? 00:02:23
OK, because this this is the mic, right? 00:02:25
So that's closer feather. 00:02:29
Ohh OK. 00:02:31
Alright, once again, Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor, client, Supervisor Christensen, this matter, the order establishing the 00:02:34
Bernie Glen Domestic Water Improvement District has come to us before. It was tabled last time because of the pending litigation 00:02:39
and so forth and apparently that was resolved and so now they have submitted their petition in the process once again to establish 00:02:45
the working Plan Domestic Water Improvement District. 00:02:51
And so at this point in time for you notices were sent out that there was to be a hearing on the formation of the 30 Glenwood. 00:02:57
Was posted in the newspapers as required by statute. 00:03:06
And the Corporation Commission we know applied, and so we did send out letters to the individuals residing within the proposed 00:03:09
district. 00:03:12
We received four that were returned for bad addresses. We received the fifth one last night at the last minute on our on our mail, 00:03:17
but we could not. 00:03:21
We address that one and send that one back out, but the other four we did last week, something back out. Hopefully they got their 00:03:26
notifications of this meeting. 00:03:29
And that they were able to attend or not. So at this time, the public hearing is just for the commentary from the public that they 00:03:33
have commentary. 00:03:37
Ohh okay. 00:03:43
Umm. 00:03:45
Alright then, do we do we have comments from either Supervisor Christiansen or Supervisor client at this time? 00:03:47
Thanks Supervisor Humphrey. I don't believe I have any questions or comments at this time. 00:03:57
OK, and neither do I. 00:04:03
Humphrey OK then, I'm Then I will open it to a public hearing. 00:04:06
And we have quite a few people here. I have I have three people that have filled out their blue sheets. 00:04:13
A call to the public. 00:04:20
And so, um. 00:04:22
So the people that filled up the blue sheets, would you like to come up and? 00:04:29
And address us. 00:04:34
True. 00:04:37
Yeah, just just state your your name and address for the minutes. 00:04:39
OK. And and we try to keep it around 3 minutes. If you go over a little bit, that's fine, but we try to keep it about 3 minutes. 00:04:45
All right. Good morning, supervisors. My name is Hunt Winston. I live full time permanently at 137 N Roper Lane. That's part of 00:04:52
Bernie Glen. 00:04:56
Right down by the river. 00:05:01
My family and I live there. 00:05:03
And I'm here to really represent. 00:05:05
Not only individually as a as a homeowner and property owner in that. 00:05:08
Neighborhood and association. But also, I've served in the last nine months or so as the board president for the Birdie Glen 00:05:13
Property Owners Association and had been a board member since I've lived there since November of 2020. 00:05:19
The role I took really as part of the board was the operational liaison. So that means because the the property owners association 00:05:27
owns the water company. 00:05:32
And is responsible for delivering and ensuring we have water service to the community. That means I got pretty neck deep and 00:05:38
involved in understanding the assets that we have. 00:05:42
The capabilities of those assets, the challenges or weaknesses of those assets and also in administering an RFP to seek out a new 00:05:47
water operator back in that 2020 time frame. In that time, we've had a couple of incidences. One was referenced in the letter that 00:05:53
the former President, Bill Remy had sent to the Board of Supervisors. Hopefully everyone's had a chance. Perhaps Supervisor 00:05:59
Humphrey, you haven't had a chance yet to read this. 00:06:06
But I think it was sent yesterday. 00:06:12
And he did a good job of articulating some of the challenges that we've had just simply with our aging infrastructure. Much of the 00:06:15
infrastructure was put in originally back in 1960s, some of it even 1950s that is still in service and is primarily serving the 00:06:21
community, including the pressure tank for Vertigo and 1:00 and 2:00. 00:06:27
And then also much of the piping infrastructure and things like that. We've had a couple of incidences since I've lived there in 00:06:35
just the last few years that have. 00:06:39
Brought some concern to me and to others in the community about the longevity and the likelihood of maintenance needs and 00:06:43
replacement needs and things like that in terms of duty cycles and such for that equipment. We don't really have backup equipment 00:06:49
either. And so as we looked at as a board what the cost might be and what the options would be. 00:06:55
To fund. 00:07:02
Some replacements and upkeep, it really is a non starter to do it ourselves. We've operated well ourselves for a long, long time. 00:07:03
But at this point with the age of that equipment and some of the experiences that we've had in the last year that just make it 00:07:11
obvious we're going to face more and more reliability issues in the future. And by forming A DWID, we hope and expect that we 00:07:18
would at least have access to and different standing to perhaps have access to funding sources that could support. 00:07:26
Our our maintenance and upkeep needs and and reliability improvements overtime. So, so again it's just a simple you know, property 00:07:33
owner and family man who lives there full time and relies on that water source every single day for my family and I. 00:07:41
And then also as a board member and current board president, I'm certainly in favor of the Board of Supervisors voting to approve 00:07:48
as does the petition suggest most of the homeowners also would would like to have this grid. And so I thank you very much and 00:07:55
given my role, I'm happy to answer questions now, later if any of the supervisors have questions. So OK. Well, Supervisor 00:08:01
Christensen, do you have questions of? 00:08:07
Thank you. No questions. 00:08:16
Supervisor client. 00:08:18
Thank you. 00:08:21
OK. Well, thank you very much. Thank you Next whomever. 00:08:24
Would wish to speak. 00:08:28
OK. And and you are? 00:08:40
Okay, Rich, do we have a a blue paper on on. 00:08:44
On a rich. 00:08:48
Romano. 00:08:50
Romano. 00:08:51
And he declines to speak. 00:08:53
So. 00:08:55
Umm. 00:08:59
Who is it, Michael? 00:09:01
Huh. Mike Harper. Sorry, Mike Harper. 00:09:03
Yeah, you you write your name like you sign a lot. I do. I do, Yeah. I couldn't read it. 00:09:06
Criticism. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, apologies. 00:09:14
Thank you very much for for. 00:09:18
Taking the time to consider this again. Mike Harper, I'm an attorney. Presentation, 111 W Cedar Lane St. C. 00:09:21
Uh, we were here. 00:09:28
Gosh, maybe four or five months ago. It's been quite a bit, uh, when this was first presented to you. 00:09:30
And thank you, Commissioner. 00:09:38
Stop reclining Christensen. 00:09:41
For considering the matter then, and will be being willing to hear this back, It's been a contentious issue. That's just the 00:09:43
truth. 00:09:46
There was a lawsuit that was filed. I think that my sense of. 00:09:50
What held us up last time was this lawsuit and that there was perceived uncertainty about the lawsuit. 00:09:54
Uh. 00:10:00
I'd like to talk just briefly about the lawsuit is what happened with the lawsuit, And I wish, I'm still kicking myself happy in 00:10:02
here at the last minute, honestly. But what the lawsuit had to do was there was an ownership question in terms of some of the 00:10:07
assets and the people involved, in particular my clients who are a group of residents. 00:10:13
And the Property Owners Association, which is the defendant, a defendant in the case, among others, did the right thing. 00:10:19
And got together and immediately worked to try to get things worked out and reached an agreement to a lot of hard work which 00:10:26
involves essentially the agreement that. 00:10:31
Um, the assets of the association would hopefully be turned over to it with. 00:10:36
Uh, and that's why we're here today as that agreement was reached. 00:10:41
The lawsuit was settled. There was some remaining issues that a group had raised about winning an award of attorneys fees out of 00:10:45
the lawsuit. That was considered by Judge Wright and that was the name. And so I have the final judgment here. If anything you'd 00:10:51
like to see it or or not. But it was the loss that's been over and the final judgment entered quite some time ago. So this, this 00:10:57
lawsuit is done. It's time for this community to move past this and move forward. 00:11:03
Towards what it really needs, which is improvements to the infrastructure. I I heard Mr. Winston speak and would just echo those 00:11:10
comments this this is a system that went out for a number of days last summer with nobody having anyone. 00:11:16
And that's not, that's just not acceptable. The Dwayne will allow for additional funding opportunities and standing for funding I 00:11:22
believe is well put that I don't think that the association would have. Then it's just time for for the community to come 00:11:28
together. That's why the settlement was reached. They won't get to the real business, which is getting this water system fixed up. 00:11:34
So there's not problems in the future, I would like to say that. 00:11:40
When this petition came before the board last time. 00:11:46
I believe there were 32 out of 46 inches. Don't hold me to this these numbers, but around 46 total property owners around 32 00:11:52
signatures the first time. 00:11:56
Uh, the petition. 00:12:02
Needed to be recirculated. 00:12:04
And we came back with more signatures. So there were allegations. I don't know if the board recalls, but there were some 00:12:06
allegations in the last. 00:12:10
Meeting that this lawsuit people have been. 00:12:14
Pressured to sign, and there have been some, you know, shady practices, for lack of a better way of putting it. In terms of the 00:12:17
way the presentations were circulated, that was nonsense. 00:12:21
And it's proven by the fact. 00:12:26
That more people. 00:12:28
Have now even come back and signed and signed the first time. So these this all took place after this this new petition all took 00:12:29
place after the lawsuit was over. 00:12:33
And um. 00:12:37
There's just an overwhelming support in the community, roughly 35 out of 46 property owners. 00:12:39
On board for this. So with that I'll stop and if there's any questions for me I'd be happy to answer. 00:12:44
That's all I've got for you. OK. Thank you. 00:12:51
Supervisor Christian, do you have any questions for Mr. Harper? 00:12:54
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, no. 00:12:59
Thank you, Mr. Harper. I have no questions. 00:13:02
Supervisor Klein. 00:13:05
Neither do I, Supervisor Humphrey. And and thank you Mr. Harper for all you did to get us to this point. 00:13:07
Thank you. Yeah. Thank you very much. I I I guess. 00:13:14
Yeah, no, I I have no question. Thank you. Moving forward, we don't have any comments on on YouTube. 00:13:19
OK. I I guess the question I have of probably staff is at the hearing all interested party owners may appear and be heard on any 00:13:28
matter related to the establishment. 00:13:35
Of this proposed district. Any person wishing to object to the establishment of this proposed district may file in writing with 00:13:43
James Manlove, clerk of the Board. 00:13:49
Healey County Courthouse. 00:13:57
Of. 00:13:59
And then the address of or by e-mail him at his e-mail address no later than 5:00 PM on Monday, June 12th. 00:14:00
Did we get any comments? 00:14:09
Negative comments yesterday. 00:14:14
Or by yesterday. 00:14:16
No, Sir, I did not get anything. 00:14:18
Yes, yes, supervisor. 00:14:20
An e-mail was sent to Mr. Men Love from a dentist. Deep Bassy lives at 233 S Canyon Drive in Tucson, AZ. 00:14:23
Um, and I'm going to read it out loud for the record. 00:14:34
If I may, please do. 00:14:38
Tweet application by the Verdie Glen Property Owners Association. 00:14:40
This quick note is to voice my opposition to this application. I've been a homeowner in Bertie Glen for 18 years and experienced 00:14:45
possibly 2 water outages in that time. The Druid application is result of litigation and intimidation of the resident. 00:14:53
The druid will put too much power in too few hands and is bad for Birdie Gwen. 00:15:01
A simple majority vote should not be enough to carry this application. 00:15:06
Respectfully, Mr. Bassey. 00:15:11
OK. Thank you. Is that the only? 00:15:13
Comment that we received. 00:15:16
To my knowledge, yes Sir. 00:15:19
Ohh okay. 00:15:21
Then I guess if there's no one else that would care to speak. 00:15:23
Then I will close the public hearing. 00:15:29
And I'll call for a motion. 00:15:34
Mr. Chairman, it's advisor Christianson would like to make the motion to adopt an order establishing the Birdie Glen Domestic 00:15:37
Water Improvement District. 00:15:42
And Mr. Gerald second that. 00:15:48
OK, having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye. 00:15:50
Aye. 00:15:57
Aye. 00:15:59
Motion was approved unanimously. 00:16:00
Thank you all very much for your time, energy and effort. 00:16:03
Today. 00:16:08
And so now I will move on to three call to the public. We have no public and patent. 00:16:10
Do we have any public here that would care to address the board? 00:16:18
I am. We have none here, so I will go on to four at any time during the meeting pursuant to ARS38-431 point O2K. 00:16:23
Member of the Board of Supervisors and County Manager may present a brief summary of current events. No action may be taken. 00:16:34
On the information presented. 00:16:41
Mr. O'Driscoll, do you have anything that you would care to comment on today? 00:16:43
I do not, other than we received one more. 00:16:48
E-mail to Mr. Men Love regarding the Droid. 00:16:53
And it's a very long e-mail, but I'm just going to read it if I can. The very last. 00:16:57
Sentence OK because we've already, we've already done. Yeah. So but just no but but so yeah, because they they did send in so 00:17:02
yeah. Bill and Sandy Remy. 00:17:07
Would urge our honorable Board of Supervisors to approve the DUET application for Vertigo and is presented. 00:17:13
I think that gives a general gist of the e-mail. 00:17:19
OK. 00:17:22
Thank you. Thank you very much. 00:17:24
Supervisor Christensen, do you have any anything that you would like to bring up to the board today? 00:17:27
Thank you, no. 00:17:33
Supervisor Klein. 00:17:36
Jerry. 00:17:39
OK. Well, if if that concludes our Business Today, I will adjourn today's meeting. Thank you all very much for being here today. 00:17:41
And all the hard work that you put into to your enabling yourself to proceed forward. Have a good day and and good luck with that 00:17:51
and I'll adjourn. With that said, thank you very much supervisors. 00:17:58

involved in understanding the assets that we have. 00:05:42
The capabilities of those assets, the challenges or weaknesses of those assets and also in administering an RFP to seek out a new 00:05:47
water operator back in that 2020 time frame. In that time, we've had a couple of incidences. One was referenced in the letter that 00:05:53
the former President, Bill Remy had sent to the Board of Supervisors. Hopefully everyone's had a chance. Perhaps Supervisor 00:05:59
Humphrey, you haven't had a chance yet to read this. 00:06:06
But I think it was sent yesterday. 00:06:12
And he did a good job of articulating some of the challenges that we've had just simply with our aging infrastructure. Much of the 00:06:15
infrastructure was put in originally back in 1960s, some of it even 1950s that is still in service and is primarily serving the 00:06:21
community, including the pressure tank for Vertigo and 1:00 and 2:00. 00:06:27
And then also much of the piping infrastructure and things like that. We've had a couple of incidences since I've lived there in 00:06:35
just the last few years that have. 00:06:39
Brought some concern to me and to others in the community about the longevity and the likelihood of maintenance needs and 00:06:43
replacement needs and things like that in terms of duty cycles and such for that equipment. We don't really have backup equipment 00:06:49
either. And so as we looked at as a board what the cost might be and what the options would be. 00:06:55
To fund. 00:07:02
Some replacements and upkeep, it really is a non starter to do it ourselves. We've operated well ourselves for a long, long time. 00:07:03
But at this point with the age of that equipment and some of the experiences that we've had in the last year that just make it 00:07:11
obvious we're going to face more and more reliability issues in the future. And by forming A DWID, we hope and expect that we 00:07:18
would at least have access to and different standing to perhaps have access to funding sources that could support. 00:07:26
Our our maintenance and upkeep needs and and reliability improvements overtime. So, so again it's just a simple you know, property 00:07:33
owner and family man who lives there full time and relies on that water source every single day for my family and I. 00:07:41
And then also as a board member and current board president, I'm certainly in favor of the Board of Supervisors voting to approve 00:07:48
as does the petition suggest most of the homeowners also would would like to have this grid. And so I thank you very much and 00:07:55
given my role, I'm happy to answer questions now, later if any of the supervisors have questions. So OK. Well, Supervisor 00:08:01
Christensen, do you have questions of? 00:08:07
Thank you. No questions. 00:08:16
Supervisor client. 00:08:18
Thank you. 00:08:21
OK. Well, thank you very much. Thank you Next whomever. 00:08:24
Would wish to speak. 00:08:28
OK. And and you are? 00:08:40
Okay, Rich, do we have a a blue paper on on. 00:08:44
On a rich. 00:08:48
Romano. 00:08:50
Romano. 00:08:51
And he declines to speak. 00:08:53
So. 00:08:55
Umm. 00:08:59
Who is it, Michael? 00:09:01
Huh. Mike Harper. Sorry, Mike Harper. 00:09:03
Yeah, you you write your name like you sign a lot. I do. I do, Yeah. I couldn't read it. 00:09:06
Criticism. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, apologies. 00:09:14
Thank you very much for for. 00:09:18
Taking the time to consider this again. Mike Harper, I'm an attorney. Presentation, 111 W Cedar Lane St. C. 00:09:21
Uh, we were here. 00:09:28
Gosh, maybe four or five months ago. It's been quite a bit, uh, when this was first presented to you. 00:09:30
And thank you, Commissioner. 00:09:38
Stop reclining Christensen. 00:09:41
For considering the matter then, and will be being willing to hear this back, It's been a contentious issue. That's just the 00:09:43
truth. 00:09:46
There was a lawsuit that was filed. I think that my sense of. 00:09:50
What held us up last time was this lawsuit and that there was perceived uncertainty about the lawsuit. 00:09:54
Uh. 00:10:00
I'd like to talk just briefly about the lawsuit is what happened with the lawsuit, And I wish, I'm still kicking myself happy in 00:10:02
here at the last minute, honestly. But what the lawsuit had to do was there was an ownership question in terms of some of the 00:10:07
assets and the people involved, in particular my clients who are a group of residents. 00:10:13
And the Property Owners Association, which is the defendant, a defendant in the case, among others, did the right thing. 00:10:19
And got together and immediately worked to try to get things worked out and reached an agreement to a lot of hard work which 00:10:26
involves essentially the agreement that. 00:10:31
Um, the assets of the association would hopefully be turned over to it with. 00:10:36
Uh, and that's why we're here today as that agreement was reached. 00:10:41
The lawsuit was settled. There was some remaining issues that a group had raised about winning an award of attorneys fees out of 00:10:45
the lawsuit. That was considered by Judge Wright and that was the name. And so I have the final judgment here. If anything you'd 00:10:51
like to see it or or not. But it was the loss that's been over and the final judgment entered quite some time ago. So this, this 00:10:57
lawsuit is done. It's time for this community to move past this and move forward. 00:11:03
Towards what it really needs, which is improvements to the infrastructure. I I heard Mr. Winston speak and would just echo those 00:11:10
comments this this is a system that went out for a number of days last summer with nobody having anyone. 00:11:16
And that's not, that's just not acceptable. The Dwayne will allow for additional funding opportunities and standing for funding I 00:11:22
believe is well put that I don't think that the association would have. Then it's just time for for the community to come 00:11:28
together. That's why the settlement was reached. They won't get to the real business, which is getting this water system fixed up. 00:11:34
So there's not problems in the future, I would like to say that. 00:11:40
When this petition came before the board last time. 00:11:46
I believe there were 32 out of 46 inches. Don't hold me to this these numbers, but around 46 total property owners around 32 00:11:52
signatures the first time. 00:11:56
Uh, the petition. 00:12:02
Needed to be recirculated. 00:12:04
And we came back with more signatures. So there were allegations. I don't know if the board recalls, but there were some 00:12:06
allegations in the last. 00:12:10
Meeting that this lawsuit people have been. 00:12:14
Pressured to sign, and there have been some, you know, shady practices, for lack of a better way of putting it. In terms of the 00:12:17
way the presentations were circulated, that was nonsense. 00:12:21
And it's proven by the fact. 00:12:26
That more people. 00:12:28
Have now even come back and signed and signed the first time. So these this all took place after this this new petition all took 00:12:29
place after the lawsuit was over. 00:12:33
And um. 00:12:37
There's just an overwhelming support in the community, roughly 35 out of 46 property owners. 00:12:39
On board for this. So with that I'll stop and if there's any questions for me I'd be happy to answer. 00:12:44
That's all I've got for you. OK. Thank you. 00:12:51
Supervisor Christian, do you have any questions for Mr. Harper? 00:12:54
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, no. 00:12:59
Thank you, Mr. Harper. I have no questions. 00:13:02
Supervisor Klein. 00:13:05
Neither do I, Supervisor Humphrey. And and thank you Mr. Harper for all you did to get us to this point. 00:13:07
Thank you. Yeah. Thank you very much. I I I guess. 00:13:14
Yeah, no, I I have no question. Thank you. Moving forward, we don't have any comments on on YouTube. 00:13:19
OK. I I guess the question I have of probably staff is at the hearing all interested party owners may appear and be heard on any 00:13:28
matter related to the establishment. 00:13:35
Of this proposed district. Any person wishing to object to the establishment of this proposed district may file in writing with 00:13:43
James Manlove, clerk of the Board. 00:13:49
Healey County Courthouse. 00:13:57
Of. 00:13:59
And then the address of or by e-mail him at his e-mail address no later than 5:00 PM on Monday, June 12th. 00:14:00
Did we get any comments? 00:14:09
Negative comments yesterday. 00:14:14
Or by yesterday. 00:14:16
No, Sir, I did not get anything. 00:14:18
Yes, yes, supervisor. 00:14:20
An e-mail was sent to Mr. Men Love from a dentist. Deep Bassy lives at 233 S Canyon Drive in Tucson, AZ. 00:14:23
Um, and I'm going to read it out loud for the record. 00:14:34
If I may, please do. 00:14:38
Tweet application by the Verdie Glen Property Owners Association. 00:14:40
This quick note is to voice my opposition to this application. I've been a homeowner in Bertie Glen for 18 years and experienced 00:14:45
possibly 2 water outages in that time. The Druid application is result of litigation and intimidation of the resident. 00:14:53
The druid will put too much power in too few hands and is bad for Birdie Gwen. 00:15:01
A simple majority vote should not be enough to carry this application. 00:15:06
Respectfully, Mr. Bassey. 00:15:11
OK. Thank you. Is that the only? 00:15:13
Comment that we received. 00:15:16
To my knowledge, yes Sir. 00:15:19
Ohh okay. 00:15:21
Then I guess if there's no one else that would care to speak. 00:15:23
Then I will close the public hearing. 00:15:29
And I'll call for a motion. 00:15:34
Mr. Chairman, it's advisor Christianson would like to make the motion to adopt an order establishing the Birdie Glen Domestic 00:15:37
Water Improvement District. 00:15:42
And Mr. Gerald second that. 00:15:48
OK, having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye. 00:15:50
Aye. 00:15:57
Aye. 00:15:59
Motion was approved unanimously. 00:16:00
Thank you all very much for your time, energy and effort. 00:16:03
Today. 00:16:08
And so now I will move on to three call to the public. We have no public and patent. 00:16:10
Do we have any public here that would care to address the board? 00:16:18
I am. We have none here, so I will go on to four at any time during the meeting pursuant to ARS38-431 point O2K. 00:16:23
Member of the Board of Supervisors and County Manager may present a brief summary of current events. No action may be taken. 00:16:34
On the information presented. 00:16:41
Mr. O'Driscoll, do you have anything that you would care to comment on today? 00:16:43
I do not, other than we received one more. 00:16:48
E-mail to Mr. Men Love regarding the Droid. 00:16:53
And it's a very long e-mail, but I'm just going to read it if I can. The very last. 00:16:57
Sentence OK because we've already, we've already done. Yeah. So but just no but but so yeah, because they they did send in so 00:17:02
yeah. Bill and Sandy Remy. 00:17:07
Would urge our honorable Board of Supervisors to approve the DUET application for Vertigo and is presented. 00:17:13
I think that gives a general gist of the e-mail. 00:17:19
OK. 00:17:22
Thank you. Thank you very much. 00:17:24
Supervisor Christensen, do you have any anything that you would like to bring up to the board today? 00:17:27
Thank you, no. 00:17:33
Supervisor Klein. 00:17:36
Jerry. 00:17:39
OK. Well, if if that concludes our Business Today, I will adjourn today's meeting. Thank you all very much for being here today. 00:17:41
And all the hard work that you put into to your enabling yourself to proceed forward. Have a good day and and good luck with that 00:17:51
and I'll adjourn. With that said, thank you very much supervisors. 00:17:58
