OK, going on to #2 presentations to a presentation of information by Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers. 00:02:43

Good to see you guys and Mark Fincham here. So come on up Wendy and. 00:02:59

Thank you. 00:03:19
What do we do? 00:03:21
So there we go. 00:03:23
Test test near me. 00:03:25
Think so? We're good. 00:03:27
Emergency said. If you have static here so. 00:03:28
Thanks for having me, supervisors chair. 00:03:33
Umm. 00:03:36
Senate Concurrent Resolution 1037 was passed out of the Senate in the House and sent to the Secretary of State's office. 00:03:37
On the third of the May, excuse me, 3rd April. 00:03:43
Well, hang on, Senator, Are we good? 00:03:48
OK. 00:03:53
So. 00:03:54
Test test. 00:03:57
Test test. 00:04:07
That's better, Sam. Maybe that worked. Ask you the shot. Go ahead. Yes. Thank you once again. 00:04:09
You know, we we passed the Senate concurrent resolution and send it to Secretary of State's office. 00:04:16
And we know we ran a bill to actually. 00:04:20
Put more restrictions and requirements. 00:04:24
On electronic voting systems because. 00:04:28
We are finding out through when we did the Senate audit and throughout other investigations nationwide, we were finding that there 00:04:30
was components that are made in that are with these machines. 00:04:36
Or electronic systems. 00:04:42
That are made from countries that don't want to do us harm. 00:04:44
So we tried to put some heavy standards on it, DoD cybersecurity standards, just in standards that we use for our weapon systems. 00:04:46
However, unfortunately, the governor vetoed that bill. But so but it's on the Senate concurrent resolution. 00:04:53
Still applies. 00:04:59
I sent all Let Go letter back in on May 22nd. 00:05:01
Of course the other side, the opposition says that the. 00:05:06
The letter. 00:05:10
One senator does not have the authority to dictate anything, and they're absolutely right. One senator doesn't. But that was just 00:05:11
to alert you all about the Senate Concurrent resolution. 00:05:15
And when it basically if you I'm sure you all read it. 00:05:19
The resolution itself. 00:05:22
But it highlights and there are facts and evidence that we found over the last three years. 00:05:24
In other States and even the things that we know here in Arizona. 00:05:29
That. 00:05:33
Well. 00:05:35
Reclaiming our plenary authority. 00:05:35
Over federal elections, because that's where we fit in the US Constitution. 00:05:38
Now under time, place and manner. 00:05:42
Now the arguments will be. 00:05:44
That the Senate Concurrent resolution does not have the weight of law. I beg to differ US Constitution. 00:05:47
It is the law of the land. 00:05:53
And of course they said well, it needs the Secretary of State's office had said well. 00:05:55
This doesn't affect because they need the governor's signature. 00:05:59
I disagree with that because in the US Constitution it doesn't say. 00:06:03
You know, time, place and manner prescribed the legislature and the governor or the executive. 00:06:08
Doesn't say that it says the legislature shall. 00:06:12
Prescribed time, place and manner and electronic voting systems being manner. 00:06:15
We're saying that please don't use them because they don't comply. 00:06:19
With cyber security standards that that is necessary. 00:06:23
Because technically. 00:06:27
Even if you wanted to do a post election audit. 00:06:29
You're prohibited to do so. 00:06:32
And I will prove that by saying look at Cochise County. 00:06:34
Coaches County wanted to do a 100% hand count of all their precincts. 00:06:37
In the 22 election, and the Secretary of State's office interfered and tried to intimidate the board. The board wasn't going to be 00:06:42
intimidated. 00:06:46
They voted to move forward to do a 100% hand count of all their precincts. 00:06:50
Of course there is a manner that they have to do. They have to do by law, certain races. 00:06:54
Or they wanted to do that. So once they did that. 00:06:58
And voted to go forward. 00:07:01
Mark Elias got with a a nonprofit or retires E group and a couple of Democrats, either plaintiffs. 00:07:02
Is so two coaches county to prevent them? 00:07:10
From being able to do. 00:07:13
They're prescribed duties to make sure that the elections are done properly and fair and if things are secure. 00:07:15
Well, why did Mark Elias care about Lindo Cochise County? 00:07:23
Because the statute says. 00:07:26
The Secretary of State shall provide the source code to a special master that shall be appointed by the court. 00:07:29
And those findings shall be made public to the court. 00:07:34
And to the Secretary of State's office. 00:07:38
So they tied coaches, county and litigation long enough to run the clock out to on the day they have to certify the election. 00:07:40
And. 00:07:47
And if they didn't certify the election on that deadline, they were threatened. 00:07:48
And intimidated. 00:07:51
With a felony. 00:07:52
Once again. 00:07:54
Use elected officials. 00:07:56
Are actually being prohibited from following through and doing your. 00:07:58
Your your due diligence and your duty to make sure that when you sign that certification. 00:08:02
And everything is true, fair. Obviously, under penalty perjury, everything is accurate. 00:08:07
Coaches County uses 2 systems the mail in ballots of your paper ballot, but they use the SNS systems. This is not about just the 00:08:14
Dominion. 00:08:17
It's also about ES and S. 00:08:20
Yes, and their system they use in Cochise counties that touch screen. 00:08:22
Well, you as the voter, you want to make sure that what goes in the system. 00:08:26
Is the way you voted. 00:08:31
But you cannot. 00:08:33
Because the third party vendor literally has autonomy. 00:08:34
And. 00:08:38
Immunity. 00:08:40
From any type of vote oversight meaning once again. 00:08:41
They got sued by Mark Elias, the Democrat, their attorney. 00:08:44
To block that type of oversight. 00:08:48
This is tax dollars paying for equipment that has no oversight and that that should just. 00:08:52
Make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up anyway. 00:08:57
But. 00:08:59
Without any kind of government oversight. 00:09:01
That the citizens are entitled to. 00:09:03
Is a travesty. 00:09:05
We vote in public. 00:09:08
Absolutely vote in private. 00:09:11
But we count in public. 00:09:12
This is about transparency. So what we're asking is a 100% hand count of all paper ballots being done by by the people under the 00:09:15
supervision obviously, of your election director. 00:09:21
And it can be done. It's not impossible. 00:09:26
The opposite side will say that the law doesn't allow for a hand count. 00:09:29
And of course, I argued this with a couple of the county attorneys already. I said show me a statute or the machines are mandatory 00:09:34
to be used. 00:09:38
They're not. 00:09:42
It's not mandated by law to be used as a primary source. 00:09:43
It's you. It's an option. 00:09:46
So if it's, you cannot use a machine. 00:09:49
Hello. 00:09:52
If you're not mandatory, then how else would you count the ballots? 00:09:53
You would do it by hand. 00:09:57
They said there's nothing in statute that permits a hand count. 00:09:58
So, well, show me the statute where it prohibits it doesn't. 00:10:02
If you if you're not mandatory to use machines, mandate to use machines. 00:10:06
Obviously you can do it the old fashioned way of counting ballots one at a time now. 00:10:10
The opposition is going to say it's going to take too long. 00:10:15
To do this well, we have 30 days of voting. 00:10:18
Mail in ballots because it's sent out 30 days prior to the election. 00:10:22
And they start coming in. 00:10:25
So you have the ability to start tallying the votes. 00:10:27
14 days prior to the election. 00:10:31
I know in my county, Mojave County, 80% of the ballots that come in are all from early ballots from either from the mail in or in 00:10:33
person at the County Library and so they can be done. 00:10:38
In a timely manner and therefore we can, you can. 00:10:44
Put all your effort into get Election Day voting and and. 00:10:47
With consolidation of personnel. 00:10:51
So it's just nothing more than pure logistics to make this happen. 00:10:53
Once again, you're not mandated to use these machines. 00:10:56
They are. There's so much evidence that these things can be. There's no. 00:10:59
Faith in them and if you don't have. 00:11:04
The ability of transparency, of looking into a black box. 00:11:07
Uh, we're actually that's photo suppression in itself. 00:11:12
So the citizens want to make sure that their ballots are being counted as cast. 00:11:16
And I think the best way to do that is going back to hand count paper ballot. I'm open for questions. 00:11:20
Thank you, Senator. This could provide your Humphrey. 00:11:27
I I have no questions right now. Mr. Chair, Supervisor Christensen. Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Senator Borrelli. I appreciate 00:11:34
your presentation so. 00:11:38
You're you're advocating for a mandatory hand count. Can you tell me? 00:11:43
Do you know how accurate that will be? It's there could be human error. 00:11:51
So can you tell me is there any statistics that show how accurate a hand count is? 00:11:57
Thank you, Mr. Chair Out. You know, that's gonna depend on the volunteers and the supervisors. 00:12:03
The Election Assistance Commissions. 00:12:09
It actually says that there's a margin of of error. 00:12:11
In electronic voting systems, that's acceptable. 00:12:14
Is it 0 point? 00:12:17
Zero 2%. 00:12:19
Not a three million, I mean do the math on that. 00:12:21
I mean, there's a margin of victory. We've had races one and lost with one ballot, one vote. I mean, Andy Biggs won his recount 00:12:24
with 19 votes. 00:12:28
But. 00:12:34
Nothing is going to be perfect. 00:12:36
But it can be done. It's not logistically impossible. 00:12:39
There's several methods of doing it I prescribe. 00:12:43
I team of five people. 00:12:46
Counting one race at a time. 00:12:48
And you do an assembly line count, a stack of ballots. 100 ballots counting. One race, three people counting. 00:12:50
Two people marking and observing. 00:12:57
And then you do that stack, you hand it on over to the others. So you get, let's say, for the presidential race and the next one 00:12:58
will be the US Senate race and then congressional race, so on and so forth. You could do this with a team of five people. There's 00:13:05
other methods in Texas that have been doing it with less and it's been taking them, you know, a few hours just to do. 00:13:11
Yeah. 00:13:18
3-4 hundred votes ballots, and that's an entire ballot. 00:13:19
Not just one at a time, but. 00:13:22
It's gonna be done in small counties like like ours or yours. I got Applause County, too. Small county. Yeah. Roughly less than 00:13:24
25,000 votes last year. 00:13:29
In the election and that can be done in 14 days. 00:13:33
What, 5 hours a day with a team of folks Feel folks. 00:13:38
And I'm sure the county chairs will. 00:13:41
Ohh. 00:13:43
The parties will step up and provide those volunteers, and you'd be surprised how many people are lining up. 00:13:44
Signing up to Want to be able to? 00:13:49
Count. 00:13:52
Really complains. I don't. I don't want. I don't have any trust in faith and confidence in these electronic voting systems. So 00:13:53
therefore I have no idea if my my ballot, my vote counted. 00:13:58
Well, I believe if you go to a hand count, paper ballot. 00:14:04
And the citizens are actually doing the. 00:14:07
Count. 00:14:10
Then they can rest assured that, hey, your ballot didn't count. I know which one it was in a big stack, but we physically counted 00:14:12
every one of them. 00:14:15
Uh. 00:14:19
You know the opposition is going to come up with all kinds of roadblocks, but. 00:14:20
You know there's a bulldozer we can, but we can plow through. 00:14:24
Well, I am an advocate for voter integrity, absolutely. And so we just need to debate what the solutions to that are and this is 1 00:14:27
possible solution. 00:14:32
And etcetera. So one last question for me and that would be how does the county? 00:14:37
Recorder come into this discussion. 00:14:44
Will County report? Thank you Mr. Chair, the county recorder. Once that's all the signatures coming in, we'll make sure that the 00:14:47
signature verification is completed. 00:14:51
But that's where your county reporter would come into play to make sure that things are being done right. And they're they're 00:15:23
elected officials. I mean, the elections don't belong to us elected folks. 00:15:28
Elections belong to the people, right? 00:15:34
Thank you, Senator. 00:15:36
Senator, thank you. Thank you all today. Good information and. 00:15:38
And then? 00:15:43
Definitely to take in consideration. Senator Rogers, you have some you want to add. 00:15:45
Mr. Chair members, I'm your senator. Senator Wendy Rogers from Flagstaff. I cover Coconino, Navajo, Olive Hilla and a big part of 00:15:56
Pinal County. 00:16:01
I want to speak to the wholeness of you as a county. 00:16:09
You're one of 15 counties. 00:16:13
In Arizona, we're unique because we have so few counties really. And so each county is very, very important even though. 00:16:16
Heeler County is small. Mojave County is small. 00:16:25
But the United States Constitution, as my colleague just reemphasized, endowed the state legislature. 00:16:28
With the plenary, which means absolute authority. 00:16:37
To determine time manner in place of Federal. 00:16:40
Elections. 00:16:44
And we take that very, very seriously. It's up to the county. 00:16:45
To implement the election. 00:16:51
So you may think, well, you know, we're a small county, we're rural, but you're fundamentally important. 00:16:53
Because the United States, the other 49 states. 00:17:00
Are looking right now. 00:17:04
To Arizona. 00:17:05
To lead. 00:17:07
And we're in this. 00:17:08
Unique. 00:17:10
We're at this unique inflection point in history. 00:17:12
So what you have right now on the border is an invasion. 00:17:16
What we now have seen in theaters nationwide. 00:17:21
As a child. 00:17:25
Sex trafficking epidemic? 00:17:27
What we have is an economy that is under siege. 00:17:30
And many other ills. 00:17:35
That have befallen our state. 00:17:37
Because elections have consequences. 00:17:40
And stolen elections have dire consequences. And we're facing this right now. And you say to me, well, you know, we have 180,000 00:17:44
people here in Heela County. What can we do? 00:17:49
You can lead. 00:17:56
Maricopa County. 00:17:58
There's not a county that Senator Borrelli or I represent, but they have 65% of Arizonans in it. 00:18:00
And that is tilting the scales. 00:18:10
And that is where we are today because of Maricopa County and the fraud and corruption. 00:18:12
Senator Borrelli and I have seen on full display in the Elections Committee at the Arizona Senate. 00:18:19
We've got the receipts. 00:18:25
And so where do we fit in as small rural counties as your senators? 00:18:28
This is where we step forward. This is where we are at the pointiest tip of the sword. 00:18:33
This is where we other counties. 00:18:40
In Arizona, say we're going to lead. 00:18:43
By example. 00:18:47
And we're going to follow this Senate Concurrent Resolution 1037 and you say to me. 00:18:49
Where did you come up with that? 00:18:55
It's a subtle nuance that the. 00:18:57
The forefathers, our founding fathers of Arizona, put into the state constitution, thank goodness, over 100 years ago. 00:19:00
It did not require the rubber stamp of the governor. 00:19:07
It got transmitted to the Secretary of State to implement. 00:19:12
And it's 5 pages of detail. 00:19:17
Of the fact that in 2017. 00:19:20
The United States government? The DoD. 00:19:23
Said that election machinery is considered critical infrastructure. 00:19:27
And as such is subject to security requirements ad nauseam. One of which is it can't be connected to the Internet. It can't be. 00:19:34
Invaded, so to speak, by a nefarious actor adverse to the US government. All those things are proscribed in these 5 pages. 00:19:44
That election machinery must adhere to. 00:19:52
It's nylon to impossible for that to happen. 00:19:57
To have the parts made in the US and to have everything the way it should be. 00:20:00
So that's why we're talking about. 00:20:06
Paper ballots. 00:20:09
For the federal. 00:20:11
Ballot. 00:20:14
We tried, as my colleagues said, to get that passed for the state ballot. That had to be a bill that the governor would sign, 00:20:15
which was vetoed. But we, the state legislature and you as the implementers. 00:20:22
Still have control. 00:20:28
Over the federal ballot. 00:20:31
And the state. 00:20:34
So you can do the complete right thing if you want. 00:20:35
And conglomerate to two. 00:20:40
Which we would highly advocate. 00:20:42
And have that be. 00:20:45
Paper. 00:20:46
And Representative Mark Fincham behind me can speak to the actual ability to do that. 00:20:49
Paper. 00:20:55
Don't let the side opposite tell you it's gonna cost too much. 00:20:56
Don't let this and by the way. 00:21:00
As Senator Borrelli will tell you. 00:21:02
It's been paid for. 00:21:06
It's been paid for by 250 years of blood and treasure spilled for the freedom of this country, which is. 00:21:09
Slipping through our fingertips. 00:21:16
If we don't lead as the state of Arizona and we don't lead as individual counties, we're going to miss. 00:21:18
An opportunity. 00:21:24
To right the ship of state back on track. So don't let anybody tell you like the Secretary of State that you don't have legal 00:21:26
authority to do this. They will intimidate you. 00:21:31
And they will try to talk you out of this. 00:21:37
But this is your chance right now to do right. 00:21:41
And you have our fullest support. 00:21:45
And who knew over 100 years ago? 00:21:49
That the founders of Arizona. 00:21:51
Would put this capability this Senate Concurrent resolution. 00:21:53
Fat. 00:22:00
And and ability into our state constitution for such. 00:22:00
A time as this. 00:22:05
Where it will figure so pivotally. 00:22:07
And prominently. 00:22:10
And saving our state. 00:22:12
And our country and I, I go on these national interviews a lot and they go Rogers. 00:22:13
What about the other 49 States and I say they should do this? 00:22:18
And they are Shasta County in California. 00:22:24
You're Balding County in Texas. 00:22:29
What's the other one in Georgia? 00:22:33
Spalding County in Georgia and seven other counties in Georgia. 00:22:34
And growing. 00:22:40
By that day. 00:22:41
This is where counties can lead. 00:22:44
And we need to partner with you to get this going. We've already presented to Mojave County. 00:22:48
Which is Senator Borrelli. 00:22:54
They are moving forward. 00:22:56
Senator Borrelli and I are going to present to Navajo County. 00:22:59
And to Pinal County after this. 00:23:03
This is gaining. 00:23:06
Steam. 00:23:07
Why? Because we see what's happening in our state. We see the consequences. 00:23:09
Of what will happen if we don't? 00:23:15
Reclaim our plenary power to correct. 00:23:18
Elections. I stand for questions. 00:23:22
Thank you, Senator. 00:23:26
Supervisor Humphrey anything? 00:23:28
Mr. Chair, I have no questions. Supervisor Christensen. 00:23:31
Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Senator. Colonel. 00:23:35
Rogers understand completely. So I have no question for you though. Thank you. 00:23:38
So. 00:23:44
So Senators, I have a question for you guys, like going forward in the future. 00:23:46
What can we expect to see through any kind of legislation in the state? Are you guys thinking about putting any other bills or 00:23:51
anything to back this up or push it or or what? How, what are you thinking about there Mr. Chair Members, this is a standalone. 00:23:59
Resolute document in and of its own strength, it already has passed the House and the Senate. It is a pillar. 00:24:07
It is a rock of truth and implementability, yes, and I understand that. But I was just asking in addition, as I guess I should 00:24:16
clarify. But Senator Borrelli, you have something there. 00:24:22
Yes, Sir. Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:24:28
You know, it's kind of interesting, but uh. 00:24:32
Like I said. 00:24:35
The bill that I I, I ran. 00:24:36
Would have put several security standards on it. The source codes would have been. 00:24:38
Held in escrow with the Auditor General, not the Secretary of State, to take the politics out of it. 00:24:42
Senator Rogers ran a bill for critical infrastructure. 00:24:49
It got better. 00:24:52
Critical infrastructure. 00:24:56
Got better? 00:24:58
However. 00:24:59
Governor Hobbs does an executive order to ban TikTok. 00:25:00
On government equipment. 00:25:04
But she vetoes a bill for critical infrastructure cybersecurity standards on all government equipment. 00:25:06
Everything so going forward. 00:25:15
We're gonna keep banging on that door until she rises up and starts doing things to protect Arizona and put the partisanship 00:25:17
aside. 00:25:21
Now. 00:25:25
We'll just roll back the clock little bit. 00:25:27
This is not about. 00:25:29
Biden and Trump. 00:25:31
It's not about Hobbs. 00:25:32
And and late. 00:25:34
This goes back to. 00:25:36
Right after the. 00:25:38
The 2016 election. 00:25:40
Secretary of Homeland Security said in 2017 that elections are part of critical infrastructure. 00:25:42
The US Senate held hearings back in 2019. 00:25:48
About electronic voting systems when they had a man named Clinton Curtis come and testify before the Senate. 00:25:52
How electronic voting systems can be hacked, How they're hacked, how they're already pre programmed and said you'll never find it 00:25:58
because the results are going to always come out 5149. 00:26:02
And the only way to find that out is to actually do a hand count. 00:26:07
Like I said, trying to do a hand count, that's where the interference comes in on the post election. 00:26:11
Camilla Harris, Senator Harris was even on the record stating. 00:26:18
In that committee hearing. 00:26:22
Now her staff witnessed. 00:26:24
The electronic voting systems being hacked right before her very eyes were from a cell phone. 00:26:27
The man who testified Clinton Curtis. He's the one who wrote the programs to make sure that the outcomes would come out a certain 00:26:33
way. 00:26:36
Now. 00:26:40
Is he Republican? No, he's a registered Democrat. 00:26:42
He testified in front of Senator Rogers Committee. 00:26:45
So the answer to your question is, Sir, yes, we're going to keep pushing bills. 00:26:48
To. 00:26:52
Tighten up what? Our elections, because that's our first priority. Let's don't belong to us. 00:26:53
It belonged to the people. They're entitled. 00:26:58
To that. 00:27:01
Transparency. 00:27:02
So the answer your question Sir, no more politician problem like no, that's good. No and I agree with you on that. So. So today 00:27:03
you got, you've presented to your your county there Molly and today you're presenting to us are are we the only two counties so 00:27:08
far that you presented this to or is there other ones. Thank you Sir. No, I've had preliminary meetings with other counties so you 00:27:14
know their vice chairs and and and we're trying to work through so that way they can get on we can get on their agenda because a 00:27:19
lot of this is new. 00:27:25
To them and. 00:27:31
Of course the opposition from you, from the Secretary of State's office is the one all kinds of roadblocks in a way which is kind 00:27:32
of ironic that the. 00:27:36
You know, he he he's a lawyer and he knows the US Constitution. 00:27:40
So. So he thinks Sense though but. 00:27:44
Not to disparage her. 00:27:47
Secretary of State but. 00:27:48
You know, it's just amazing that. 00:27:50
The opposition doesn't want to have transparency. 00:27:52
That that's what's the most telling thing of it is they don't want to have any transparency like I said. 00:27:55
You're not mandated using machines. 00:27:59
It's literally a black box that you're not allowed to look into. 00:28:02
As elected official and a taxpayers are paying for this equipment. 00:28:05
No. 00:28:09
Well Senators, I really thank you for taking your time out of your busy schedules. I know you're you're swamped and. 00:28:10
And for coming up here and visiting with us this morning and and going from there, James, did you have a question or comment? 00:28:16
What when we're done with those questions? 00:28:21
Ohh OK well, I I think I've asked mine so far. So and I've got the Halderman report. Alex Halderman was caught. He's a professor 00:28:24
at Wisconsin and Michigan or something like that. Yeah, in Michigan he he was, he was commissioned by the Democrats to do a report 00:28:30
on electronic voting systems. 00:28:35
This is. 00:28:42
Prior to 2020. 00:28:43
And of course, the report came out. He named Arizona. 00:28:44
Is one of the 16 states that's vulnerable before the 2020 election. 00:28:48
Well, a federal judge in Georgia. 00:28:51
Sealed. 00:28:54
Now report. 00:28:55
And it wasn't till just a month ago, less than a month ago, we found that judge unsealed it. So we have a a redacted part that 00:28:56
that we will send to you that highlights this EAC, Election Assistance Commission and CISA. 00:29:03
The cyber security folks, they're the ones that examined the machines that Dominion, ESS, and. 00:29:10
In Williamson, Tennessee. 00:29:17
And that's highlighted in the example. 00:29:20
In the SER. 00:29:22
Where they had found an anomaly. 00:29:23
Uh. 00:29:25
An erroneous code that nobody knows how I got on there. 00:29:26
Well then the manufacturer says what's OK, we fix it. 00:29:29
Really. How do we know you fixed it? 00:29:32
Well. 00:29:35
The secretary states have the source code, so we're not going to be able to see. 00:29:35
Because they won't give it to us. 00:29:38
When we were doing this Senate audit, we tried to get the source code from the Senate, from the Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs. 00:29:40
She refused to give it to us. 00:29:43
We subpoenaed Dominion. They refused to give it to us because they're a private company. 00:29:47
And his priority and we don't have any authority over private companies, so. 00:29:51
Obviously you can see that there's no transparency. 00:29:56
At all. 00:29:59
And to try to make sure that there's any kind of oversight that protects. 00:30:00
The citizens what they're entitled to. 00:30:03
And extreme fear relations. Thank you, Senator James, Mr. Chair, members of the board. I just wanted to express appreciation to 00:30:06
Mr. Mariscal, our Elections Director, and his team. 00:30:11
Based on the the controls that we have, policies and procedures, checks and balances that have been implemented in HeLa County. 00:30:17
That I know that. 00:30:26
Through the Elections Department, we can provide assurance. 00:30:29
That the elections for 20/20/22. 00:30:32
That the results were truthful and accurate. 00:30:35
And that the population, the voters of community county can have that assurance. 00:30:39
That we do everything within our power and possibility. 00:30:45
Checking. 00:30:48
What we do before the election and after to make sure that the the accuracy of the counts. 00:30:49
So I express appreciation to Mr. Moscow and his team. 00:30:55
And all the many volunteers that come and support the elect. 00:30:58
A truthful and accurate election in Heela County. 00:31:02
So. 00:31:05
Senators as as a small county, because we are less than 55,000, we take voting integrity very seriously, just like SEND, 00:31:06
Supervisor Christensen said. 00:31:11
And we have questions coming at us from all angles as you well know as as do yourselves. So this is something that we do stay on 00:31:17
top of and. 00:31:21
And with our elections department and with the recorder and the folks that we have in our small group. 00:31:26
It's a constant topic of discussion. 00:31:32
So. 00:31:35
Yes, Mayor. Yeah, absolutely. Well, thank you. Thank you, Sir, for that. And by the way, this is by way no indictment against your 00:31:36
elections personnel. 00:31:41
It's not. 00:31:46
Because they're very dedicated individuals, we know that they want to make sure things are done right, but I don't think they 00:31:47
fully, fully grasp the understanding of it. 00:31:51
When you're voting by paper ballot. 00:31:55
OK. And you're running it through tabulators? 00:31:58
You really don't know. 00:32:01
If the outcome is literally true. 00:32:03
Now you do a sample afterwards. 00:32:05
That you can say 2% and 5%. 00:32:08
Well, that doesn't give you the bigger picture because the system has been designed. 00:32:11
Clinton Curtis testified from the US Senate. 00:32:15
Saying and in front of our our committee that. 00:32:18
You're not going to find it in that way because the the outcome is going to be 5149 on obviously certain races that wanna be. 00:32:21
Manipulated. 00:32:29
And because you can't look into the system itself and you don't want to do that as opposed to election on it. Now let's say we do 00:32:33
a logic and accuracy test. We do all these testing prior to, which sounds good. 00:32:39
But it means that when you do a logic and accuracy test, you're actually certifying the equipment is operating properly at the 00:32:45
time of inspection. 00:32:49
But once the system is going on with the electronic voting systems, we're talking about a computer. 00:32:53
But nobody's. Nobody's in here to a data guy. Unless you got the source codes to see if anything got changed, you don't have that 00:32:58
ability. 00:33:02
That's that's the real issue there. 00:33:07
So I mean I'm, I'm convinced that your country is you know this cleans the, you know, hounds tooth but. 00:33:09
The systems can be corrupted. 00:33:16
And we need to take a stand and stop giving. 00:33:19
Your authority over to a third party vendor. 00:33:23
And it's complete autonomy and. 00:33:27
Community because they're protected. Because they're a third party and they're not subject to a Fourier request for public 00:33:30
information request. 00:33:34
Senator Rogers, And if I could just piggyback on that. 00:33:38
We don't know what we don't know. 00:33:43
And I know that sounds simplistic. 00:33:47
But as Senator Borrelli said, unless we can look into the machine, real time when votes are being cast on a continuous basis. 00:33:50
We don't know what we don't know. 00:34:01
And also. 00:34:04
You're right, we just have a small county here, but because you are an entity, one of 15, you are more powerful. 00:34:06
Than the number of voters you represent. 00:34:16
You are one of 15. 00:34:20
Very important entities in this state and hence this country. 00:34:22
So you are sort of. 00:34:28
The mouse that roars. 00:34:30
And. 00:34:32
I'd like to call up a representative, Mark Fincham, who is a subject matter expert. 00:34:33
To speak to the implementability. 00:34:40
And to the corruptibility on these two sort of mechanical. 00:34:43
Aspects. 00:34:49
Mark Chairman. Or have you just state your name and where you're from? Yes Sir. 00:34:55
Now from Phoenix, formerly from Tucson and the Republican nominee for Secretary of State in 2022. Served in the Arizona House of 00:35:01
Representatives for eight years. 00:35:06
There's a couple of things that I've heard here and I'm I'm gonna ask you to set aside for just a moment the idea of inspecting 00:35:11
the code. 00:35:14
The question is, do you know? 00:35:19
And I already know the answer. 00:35:23
That the number that the machine gave. 00:35:24
Matches the number of votes in paper ballots. 00:35:28
As for every vote that comes to that machine, no, I mean, we don't. We we take, we take the sample, the samples and test those 00:35:32
like we've talked about, but ask for every vote. No, that's exactly my point. You don't know. 00:35:39
There is no transparency in the machine system. That's one of the reasons why myself and governor. 00:35:46
Gubernatorial candidate Terry Lake. 00:35:54
Are at this moment in front of the 9th Circuit Court. 00:35:57
Challenging the use. 00:36:00
Of black box ballot tabulation equipment. 00:36:02
Black box being a term of art in the legal world. 00:36:05
You can't see inside of it. 00:36:08
Now I'm going to tell you something that is not widely known that in the Raphael Warnock election, you may have heard of that in 00:36:11
Georgia. 00:36:14
17 pallets of ballots were printed by Runbeck. 00:36:19
And shipped to Georgia. 00:36:23
Paid for by Dominion Voting Systems. 00:36:27
Why did they have to have paper ballots shipped to Georgia for a specific election? 00:36:31
If the election tabulation equipment were trustworthy. 00:36:38
I'll tell you why. 00:36:42
We had to have a match on the number of paper ballots. 00:36:44
So the number of ballots counted in machines. 00:36:48
I happen to know that. 00:36:51
Because the fellow by the name of Bob Hughes assured that with me he was able to track down the PO. 00:36:53
PO number on the ballots and verify who paid for it with Runback. 00:36:59
That ought to make your blood boil. 00:37:05
Because that's the kind of thing. 00:37:07
That can happen when you're unable. 00:37:09
To do a full hand count. 00:37:12
Of paper ballots. 00:37:15
Now once again. 00:37:17
Senator Burley highlighted the fact that in law. 00:37:18
There is no prohibition of doing the hand count. 00:37:21
In fact, I would call your attention to the hand count roadshow.org. 00:37:26
There is a system Louisiana has designed what they call the Clothesline System. 00:37:31
It's about hand counting the paper ballots. 00:37:36
At the precinct level. 00:37:39
That's where you get the detail. 00:37:41
So that's one of the things that I would advocate for. 00:37:44
I am advocating for. 00:37:47
Is the chief executive officer of the Election Fairness Institute. 00:37:49
It's a nonprofit organization that's dedicated to one thing. 00:37:53
Seeing to it that county officials. 00:37:56
Have security. 00:37:59
And transparency. 00:38:01
You know, we hear a lot of talk about integrity. Well, that's an output. 00:38:03
The input is having a secure system. 00:38:07
That you can rely on. 00:38:10
Now, the Holderman report showed categorically. 00:38:12
The equipment cannot be relied on because of a security defect. 00:38:16
If we're not so Williamson County, Tennessee. 00:38:21
Would have had an exact match on the paper ballots versus the machine count. 00:38:24
They didn't. 00:38:28
Now, once again, Senator Borelli spoke to that. 00:38:30
Said. Well, we fixed it. 00:38:32
Really. 00:38:34
How do we know? Can we see the code? I know you're just gonna have to take our word for it. 00:38:36
What is so mysterious about the? 00:38:41
Tabulation. 00:38:43
Unless of course, it's a calculation. 00:38:44
It seems stunning that so many elections come out 51% to 49%. 00:38:48
That is a statistical improbability so high. 00:38:52
It is not credible. 00:38:56
So I recommend if you want to do a little bit of your own research. 00:38:58
I'm visiting the hand count roadshow.org. 00:39:02
And we are making plans to have that roadshow visit. 00:39:06
Probably in Phoenix. 00:39:09
I understand that there's quorum problems, so you're going to have to. 00:39:11
Decide amongst you who might want to come. You can't all three come. 00:39:14
But you'll see an opportunity to disprove the allegation. 00:39:18
That it's a logistical nightmare. That it's a logistical impossibility. 00:39:23
To hand count the number of ballots that you would have in your system. This is a classic throughput problem. 00:39:28
If you have nice people and you have an efficient system. 00:39:34
But quite frankly, the roadshow. 00:39:37
Is doing a hand count demonstrating a hand count? 00:39:40
Where they digital camera overhead? 00:39:43
For ultimate transparency. Why? Because their live streaming account as it's happening. 00:39:47
What we have right now is the crisis of. 00:39:54
Faith in the system. 00:39:56
That's what we're facing right now. 00:39:59
And I I guarantee you. 00:40:02
That your constituents right now are focused on one thing. 00:40:04
Transparency. 00:40:08
Thank you very much. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. 00:40:10
Thank you. Go ahead. I have a question. 00:40:13
And anybody can answer it, what's the penalty for altering? 00:40:17
An election. 00:40:21
Well, Sir, it depends on whether or not you want to charge someone with treason. Well, yeah, I don't want to charge them with 00:40:24
anything because I'm not capable. I'm saying what is the what is the penalty for altering? 00:40:29
An election? Yeah, I'm talking about the ubiquitous day. OK, so if. 00:40:35
It can be found that it is a criminal event. 00:40:40
Criminal is going to require intent. 00:40:44
If there's intent to alter the election. 00:40:48
There's a number of different penalties depending upon. 00:40:50
How the the charges come out? 00:40:53
But at the highest level. 00:40:55
I suppose that that individual could be charged with treason. 00:40:57
And the reason I asked that because I mean you hear different things and there's a lot of things and and there's a lot of 00:41:01
questions about the election, but but if there's not enough balance about ballots for particular party. 00:41:07
At a particular voting station, and that's been proven. 00:41:13
What's the penalty? 00:41:16
What if? What if a marker is marked on a ballot that can't be read by the machine, so the ballots throw it out? What's the 00:41:18
penalty? 00:41:22
So. 00:41:27
Supervisor Humphrey that would deal with. 00:41:28
That's there's no intent there. 00:41:31
That's just something that happens is part of the election process. Now one would hope and I'm sure that the Heela County 00:41:35
elections officials. 00:41:38
Have already tested a lot of this stuff. 00:41:43
Do they have markers or pens that that bleed through? 00:41:45
I'm pretty sure that he LA County was not affected by that. 00:41:49
Like Maricopa County? 00:41:52
My guess would be that he LA County actually proved all that stuff in advance. 00:41:55
To show we have to use this process, we have to use these tools. We have to use this paper. 00:42:00
That's why you didn't notice the Heela County's name in the media. 00:42:06
Something you should probably be very happy about. 00:42:11
Yeah. Senator Barrel, he's probably got some additional perspective. OK. Thank you, Sir. Yeah. And the remedy to that, you're 00:42:17
right. Like, you know, ballot on-demand printers. 00:42:22
And they were the wrong size. It wouldn't go through the tabulator. 00:42:26
Bleed through all those things. 00:42:30
Guess what? All that stuff is eliminated. 00:42:32
If you just do a hand count. 00:42:35
If it goes through a ballot on-demand tabulator. 00:42:37
It's not going to go. 00:42:40
It goes to a ballot on demand printer. It's time to go through a tabulator. 00:42:41
Because you're going to count it by hand. 00:42:45
If it bleeds through, obviously you can see that it went through and it didn't affect. The other side didn't affect. 00:42:47
And that's why you have also have your observers or your county. 00:42:53
Elections director and even. 00:42:56
The parties have lawyers there in in that room when they're checking. 00:42:58
But if you alleviate, alleviate. 00:43:02
All those. 00:43:04
Calculators. 00:43:06
Electronic voting systems. 00:43:07
Let's stop this song. 00:43:10
Yeah. 00:43:11
I hope I answered your question. 00:43:14
Best you could. Thank you. OK, Supervisor. Christians, thank you Chairman. Thank you Representative Chairman. 00:43:18
So I appreciate all of you good presentation. 00:43:25
And I would just. 00:43:28
Suggest that I would. 00:43:32
Be I would not be opposed to having a work session on what we're doing in Heela County, how it's conducted. 00:43:35
And whether or not there are options from the Board of Supervisors to improve it in any way that we deem necessary. So I think a 00:43:42
work session would be something. 00:43:47
To look at because I know I have a lot of constituents. 00:43:53
That are very concerned about. 00:43:56
Going forward? 00:43:58
Mr. Chairman. 00:44:01
I would be happy to have as one of the options that you could do. 00:44:02
The demonstration of a hand count system. 00:44:06
That would fit, I'm sure, into the Heela County system to replace. 00:44:09
Mechanical or electronic tabulation. 00:44:15
Thank you. All I need is the date and time we have here. 00:44:17
Thank you all for presenting today. Very good. I really appreciate it and. 00:44:21
Thanks for coming. 00:44:26
Good to see you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I always say follow up with. 00:44:27
Improve your net, Higher vet. There you go. Thank you. 00:44:32
Thank you all. Thank you. OK, moving on to #3 public hearing. 00:44:36
3:00 AM Information discussion Action to Adopt Ordinance #2023-05, Environmental Health and Repeal previously adopted Ordinance 00:44:43
number 2014. 00:44:49
Dash 02 Dash Hilo County Wastewater. 00:44:57
And any other previously adopted wastewater ordinances and we have Josh Beck and Michael O'Driscoll. I guess we got Josh, Good 00:45:00
morning, Chairman, Klein. Board supervisors also have Shake, Carrot and Alex Kendrick and Eric and the patient as well in case you 00:45:08
have any questions. But so we have prevented this numerous times. Mr. O'Driscoll started this in 2021. We've taken our time with 00:45:15
it because we're really trying to make sure we get it right. We had a. 00:45:23
Couple different fee schedules for wastewater and for the food process and. 00:45:31
We're trying to clean that up to make it really better for residents. It's better for us as well, but it's better for residents 00:45:36
because before we had just all kinds of different charges for like mobile food units and all these different categories. And if 00:45:40
you looked at it, you were just kind of confused. 00:45:45
Now we're going to go in line more with what other counties have, which is a risk based system. There's four risk categories and 00:45:49
that's how we kind of evaluate everything. It's more straightforward. It's easier for us to explain to somebody. It's easier for 00:45:56
them to understand. It kind of aligns better with other counties. If somebody moves here, they're more aware of what it is. 00:46:02
It really goes through part of what took it longer for us, it really goes through and it defines the powers that are delegated to 00:46:08
us through the state of Arizona. 00:46:13
It goes through and really defines. Here's all the powers that we have and how you know that process affects everything. We kind 00:46:17
of spell that out way better now than what we had in the past. 00:46:21
Um. 00:46:26
The last edition that's really helpful is for the Tri-City Sanitation District. 00:46:27
We've set in a what we call like a limp along permit. 00:46:32
So that people that live in that Tri-City sanitation district have a cesspool that fails. 00:46:36
This one I feel pretty good about. 00:47:11
Thank you, Josh's supervisor, Humphrey. 00:47:13
I have no question, Josh. I didn't thank you for the time and effort to. 00:47:16
Put into this Supervisor Christiansen, thank you. Thank you Josh and Michael for working on this and your whole staff. 00:47:20
And this has been ongoing and this is not like a new. 00:47:27
New thing. It's just we've had a hodgepodge thing going on and now we're getting it. We're getting our act together and I like 00:47:32
that. Thank you. 00:47:35
Josh, thanks. Yeah, it has been a long time. 00:47:41
Working on this, so I appreciate all your help. I think with that I'm gonna open up the public meeting part of it. 00:47:43
Public hearing and Do we have anybody in Payson, Joseph? 00:47:50
No Sir, OK. 00:47:55
Nothing. No comments on YouTube and I don't believe we have anyone here. It's all closed the public hearing and entertain a 00:47:57
motion. Mr. Chair, I move to adopt Ordinance #2023-05. 00:48:04
Repealing Ordinance #2014-02 and any other previously adopted wastewater ordinances. 00:48:10
Move your chair. I'll second that having a motion and a second. 00:48:19
Ohh. 00:48:23
Say yeah. 00:48:24
All all in favor say aye. Aye, Aye. I think I got it right. Aye. Motion carries. 00:48:27
I'm just learning to talk, Josh. It's OK. 00:48:34
OK, on this number three, public hearings 3B Information discussion Action to adopt resolution #23-07-02. 00:48:37
To name W Lone Ranger Trail in the Tunnel Basin area. Tom Holman. Good morning, Tom. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the 00:48:47
Board. Yep, Tunnel Basin is once again expanding and we need to assign Rd. names so we can assign addresses the residents there. 00:48:57
Perhaps euphemistically. 00:49:08
Selected Lone Ranger to go with Tonto. 00:49:09
But um, you know, it meets all our standards, so. 00:49:12
Here I am before you today. I'm willing to take any questions. Supervisor Hunt for any questions. 00:49:16
I have met Supervisor Christensen. Thank you, Tom. Yeah, I have no questions. I think you'll probably be come to us more and more 00:49:22
often. It feels like it's. Yeah. Thank you. And I'm good as well, Tom. So I'll open that up. Public hearings. Do we have anyone in 00:49:27
Payson? 00:49:32
No Sir. And no comments, anybody on YouTube and I don't see anyone here. So with that I'll entertain a motion. 00:49:39

Supervisor Christianson, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:50:17
I'm here this morning to request to advertise a request for proposal for a primary banking service. 00:50:22
And that's per ARS 35-325. 00:50:29
Currently now our banking primary banking services with JP Morgan. 00:50:33
Chase that expired June 30th of 2023. 00:50:38
So right now the procedure is that I must advertise. 00:50:42
And it's going to be in the pacing roundup on July the 17th, July 25th of 2023. 00:50:46
With a bid due date of August 10th, 2023. 00:50:53
Once those bids are in. 00:50:58
All this will be reviewed by appropriate parties and that would be the county manager. 00:51:00
Deputy County Manager, Finance Director and myself and a decision would be made to extend an offer to our new. 00:51:05
Premier Banking. 00:51:16
Contract for three years. 00:51:17
So right now it's just a procedure to advertise. 00:51:19
Thank you, Monica. 00:51:23
Supervisor Humphrey and questions. 00:51:24
No, just just the advertisement part of it. You know, if someone doesn't happen to read the paste paper, then they don't know so. 00:51:27
We we've got into situations in the past, but anyway I I have no questions, gonna be on the website and I'm not sure I believe 00:51:34
it's going to be available in the paper and also on the web, also on the web. 00:51:40
Hearing. 00:51:47
Mr. Chair, Supervisors. And just so you know, we do have a list of banks. 00:51:49
And this will go out to all of them directly, so whether they get the payment or not. 00:51:54
The the banks will receive the invitation and then if they choose to respond and they can. The last time we went out to bid, we 00:52:00
received two bids. They were very competitive, so they advanced to an interview process. 00:52:08
And then as. 00:52:15
As Treasurer Wolforth mentioned, there was a committee that chose between the two bids for the successful bidder. 00:52:17
Hi, Thank you very much for reaching out to the qualifying parties. 00:52:25
Supervisor Christiansen. Thank you. Mr. Chairman. I have no questions. Thank you. Thank you. And I'm good as well. Thank you, 00:52:31
Monica. And with that, I'd entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll move to authorize the advertisement of request. 00:52:36

To approve agreement number 03162023. 00:52:59
Between Hillary County and the Town of Payson in the amount of $73,000 to support public transportation services. 00:53:04
In the patients Star Valley area for the calendar year 2023, James, this Chairman, I'm not going to get up, no. So yeah. 00:53:12
Mr. Chairman, as you know, in southern Helen County we have to the copper bus system that we have here have contributed for a 00:53:20
number of years, $73,000. 00:53:25
Of. 00:53:30
They pace in Senior Center, of course, in northern Healer counties. 00:53:31
Began the B Line bus system several years ago. 00:53:35
Are the Senior Center. 00:53:39
That is not their primary focus. They wanted to divest from the the bus system. 00:53:41
In northern Healy County. 00:53:48
And thankfully, very thankfully, the town of Payson took over management and administration of the B Line bus. 00:53:50
And Hula County. 00:53:58
And. 00:54:00
Opposing that is consistent and it's equitable that we have have. 00:54:03
Partnered. 00:54:09
With our partners here in Southern Nevada County to 273,000 a year that we do likewise in the northern part of the county. And so 00:54:10
this is an IGA that we work with. 00:54:15
The Northern bus system town of Payson. 00:54:20
To support that transit system. 00:54:23
To the $273,000. 00:54:26
Thank you James Supervisor Humphrey. 00:54:28
I have no questions. Supervisor Christians, thank you. Chairman. Thank you. Mr. Manlove. I have no objection to this. I just if if 00:54:32
it's permissible to ask, how is the advisory committee? 00:54:37
Are coming this first formation. 00:54:43
As far as the. 00:54:46
Transportation Advisory Committee Yes, I have a a meeting. 00:54:48
Town of Patient has a meeting scheduled. 00:54:52
Later this month. I'm not sure of the date, but I am planning to attend that. 00:54:54
As far as the advisory committee? 00:55:00
The next step as far as the. 00:55:02
Intergovernmental partnership that we have is an IGA. 00:55:04
And I'm working with CAG to continue to work through that idea that we can take it. 00:55:09
I will work with CAG to take an IGA out to all the different communities. 00:55:14
That will participate the six. 00:55:19
Organized municipalities in HeLa County take that presented to their councils and that we can all consider an intergovernmental 00:55:21
agreement to go forward on the I PTA. 00:55:26
So two different, two different things, but they are both moving forward. 00:55:32
There is a Transportation Advisory Committee. 00:55:37
First meeting, Initial meeting. 00:55:40
Later on this month. 00:55:42
Thank you. 00:55:43
And I don't have any questions for you, James. I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I move to approve agreement number 03162023 00:55:45
with the Town of Payson in the amount of $73,000. I will second that Mr. Chair have a motion. And second, all in favor. Do so by 00:55:51
saying aye. Aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you, James. 00:55:57
On the Foresee Information discussion Action to approve the use of Sourcewell contract number. 00:56:04
090122 Dash GET with Code 3 technology. 00:56:11
In the amount of $300,439.13. 00:56:17
For the purchase of new laptops and vehicle docking stations and we have coal and carry. 00:56:23
Good morning. You too. Good morning, Chairman, Board members. Today we come before you to address the important matter of the 00:56:28
directly affects the efficiency and security of our Sheriff's Office. In recent years, we've witnessed the significant rise. 00:56:34
And cyber threats and attempts to breach sensitive information, the safeguard. 00:56:40
To safeguard our operations and to ensure the highest level of security, we have implemented multi factor authentication 00:56:45
throughout the county. 00:56:48
Multi factor authentication provides an additional layer of protection required multiple forms of verification to access critical 00:56:52
systems and data. 00:56:57
Our Sheriff's Office requires new laptops that meet the highest standards of reliability to update technology enhanced security 00:57:01
features. 00:57:05
These laptops are crucial tools for our daily operations and to provide faster, more secure multi factor authentication for our 00:57:09
deputies. 00:57:13
The current laptops we estimate to be approximately 10 years old. 00:57:17
By equipping the deputies with modern laptops, we empower them to perform their duties efficiently and accurately. These laptops 00:57:21
will enable our deputies to access vital information in the field, communicate seamlessly with our other departments, and maintain 00:57:27
a secure connection while handling sensitive data. 00:57:33
Moreover, they will. 00:57:39
They will enable us to meet the evil. 00:57:41
Technology requirements of law enforcement and adapt to the ever changing landscape of digital threats. 00:57:43
I understand that the budgetary considerations are always a concern and, however, the long term benefits and the protection of our 00:57:49
critical resources far outweigh the initial investment. 00:57:54
I urge you to carefully consider the impact that requiring new laptops for MFA purposes will have an efficiency and security to 00:57:59
our Sheriff's Office. 00:58:03
With today's approval, the laptops used for sheriff's deputies will now be replaced every five years. 00:58:08
Like the rest of the county's equipment, this will help us budget and ensure that we have the up-to-date hardware to address 00:58:14
security needs and keep the county safe. 00:58:18
We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:58:22
Thank you, Kerry. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:58:25
I have no questions. Mr. Chair, Supervisor Christensen, thank you. I have no questions. 00:58:27
So where's the money coming from? 00:58:32
This will be coming from Capital. 00:58:34
Our capital. 00:58:36
We have the money, James. 00:58:38
Who's chairman? This is part of Coleman. So that investment from. 00:58:41
The ARPA. 00:58:48
Once. OK, so that's cool. 00:58:49
So what happens to the old laptops that we replace? So the old top they'll laptops that we have will be decommissioned. Like I 00:58:51
said, they're 10 plus years old, so they'll probably be. 00:58:56
Sorry, they will, they will be. We have a company that we use for Easy Street that actually comes and decommissions our at our 00:59:05
current any old laptops or computers that we may have and then from here on out then every five years these new laptops would be 00:59:11
replaced at Diana. 00:59:17
Routine replacement schedule, Yes Sir. So currently the current laptops they that they have are refurbished laptops, so when they 00:59:23
get them they're refurbished at that point. So with these they will have new laptops which will have the multi factor 00:59:30
authentication, which will have the fingerprint readers which makes it easier for the deputies to use. 00:59:36
We tested multi different things to give them different ways to be able to authenticate and this was our easiest way for them to 00:59:44
authenticate was with the fingerprint reader. So so another question so or when we purchased these laptops is that for every 00:59:51
deputy position in the Sheriff's Office or is that just for the ones that are filled? 00:59:58
We're purchasing it for every position we have a little bit of a deficit. 01:00:06
But in case a piece of equipment goes down, we have them the ability to put that computer back in. We can take a brand new one off 01:00:11
the shelf, deploy it right away. That way there's not a gap in. 01:00:16
Abilities for the deputies. Cause I I believe you're down on deputies now anyway. Right positions, yeah. 01:00:22
Don't quote me, but it's in the. 01:00:28
Five to seven different positions were down, OK. 01:00:30
Alright. 01:00:34
Any other questions you two, we're good. Just one if, if. 01:00:35
Well, if they're gonna be replaced every five years, how do we budget for five years away? 01:00:39
We'll build that into our long term budget I. 01:00:49
Camp Como said it's going to be within five years. 01:00:52
It will depend on what the financial position of the county looks like and the prioritizing our needs. 01:00:55
As we go. 01:01:02
So I I can't say that in five years they're gonna be would be replaced. 01:01:03
OK, so by approving this, we're, we're not approving that they're upgraded every five years. We're just not approving the purchase 01:01:07
of them. In the worst case scenario, you know, say that doesn't happen in five years, there's going to be devices that are still 01:01:12
probably in. 01:01:17
Fairly good shape. 01:01:22
We could replace probably the the worst 8 or 10 that are out there or they'll have some about this big that do everything, yeah. 01:01:24
Yeah, we have the worst ones out there and move forward. If we get into a bad position like that without putting some, OK, yeah, 01:01:32
just, just. 01:01:35
Just looking ahead, just brought up some questions. So OK, thank you, Mr. Chair, thanks. We'll say on the number of pieces, items 01:01:38
of equipment that they would they're per vehicle. 01:01:44
Because these are going into vehicles, so it's not necessary. 01:01:50
Authorized FTE. That's so that a vehicle is equipped. 01:01:53
And able to meet the needs of the officer out on the field. So that's what we were intending to do, not necessarily on FTE. 01:01:57
Umm. 01:02:06
And again, this is part of the the plan that we had long term of committing $2,000,000 of technology so that we can upgrade. 01:02:08
Our technology and. 01:02:14
Not yet. They'll ask you enhance our capability to be more efficient. 01:02:17
And what we do across the board. 01:02:21
So the reason I asked about is whether or not you're purchasing this for every position that you have out there. 01:02:23
As we know, technology is outdated in about 6 months from now. 01:02:29
And so to go through and purchase a bunch of these laptops. 01:02:34
And have vacant positions where these laptops even you have a good idea called that would they would be sitting on a shelf and. 01:02:39
Readily available as somebody to break theirs or one goes down but. 01:02:45
But then there may there's a possibility too. We're purchasing laptops that may not get used. 01:02:49
That in a matter of a couple of years? A year. 01:02:54
Six months, whatever it is. 01:02:57
It's outdated. 01:02:59
And so we've just thrown some money away, James. 01:03:00
I believe the Sheriff's Office not trying to speak to you. 01:03:03
Call that they're rotating their vehicle, so the equipment is being used, that's why it's not. 01:03:08
Being assigned to a vacant position is assigned to a vehicle and the vehicle for the rotator. OK, and they're all used. 01:03:13
Yeah. So that that scenario of having some kind of computer having it set for a year or two is is. 01:03:20
Will not happen. 01:03:28
Can I quote you on that later, James? 01:03:30
Just kidding. Go ahead. 01:03:33
Supervisor Humphrey did. Yes something. No, I'm good. Thank you. You're good. I think I am too. So thanks you guys. One thing like 01:03:36
I got a question here for you. But. 01:03:40
Sam. 01:03:45
Official title. 01:03:48
Sergeant, Sergeant. 01:03:50
Yeah, it was the conduct crossword anyway. OK. Thank you, Cole. Thank you. Carry with that. I'd entertain a motion, Mr. Chairman, 01:03:53
to approve the use of Sourcewell contract number 090122. 01:03:58
Dash GET. 01:04:04
With code 3 technology in the amount of 300. 01:04:06
$1439.13. 01:04:09
Mr. Chair, I will second that having a motion, and a second all in favor, diesel, by saying aye, aye, aye, aye, Motion carries. 01:04:13
On to 4D. 01:04:21
Information Discussion Action to Approve Service Agreement number 061423 Dash 1. 01:04:23
With. 01:04:31
Exicom incorporated to provide hindsight H4 multimedia logging recording system in the amount of $99,708.23. 01:04:32
Through June 30th, 2024 and Cole interior up again. 01:04:45
Yeah. So I didn't prepare anything quite as extensive as what Kerry had there. But essentially, this is a pretty simple piece of 01:04:50
equipment we're looking to replace. 01:04:54
The Sheriff's Office within our dispatch facility and Globe has what we call the recorder system and it essentially takes all of 01:04:58
the phone lines within the Sheriff's Office, all our VoIP phones. 01:05:04
All of the radio channels the Sheriff's Office uses and the fire medical radio channels. 01:05:09
The Sheriff's Office uses. 01:05:15
And it records those. 01:05:17
For transparency, if the public requests it for after action, reviews, if there was a a critical incident for court cases, all the 01:05:18
normal things we'd expect to see with something that records what we do. 01:05:24
Umm. 01:05:31
The current system should have been replaced several years ago. We've been working on trying to find a piece of equipment that we 01:05:32
all felt comfortable with from the IT side, from the Sheriff's Office side. 01:05:38
That worked well with their integration and requirements. 01:05:43
And worked well with a supervisor. 01:05:47
From the Sheriff's Office or in the dispatch center or in records, being able to easily log in has a. 01:05:50
Very usable interface. 01:05:56
To be able to gather whatever they need to gather. 01:05:58
Save it and. 01:06:01
Create a certificate that. 01:06:04
What they did was. 01:06:06
Complete and accurate when? 01:06:08
Done. 01:06:10
Done properly. So we we finally found a a piece of equipment we like. We found a vendor that we feel comfortable with to help us 01:06:11
purchase the piece of equipment, install it, implement it, train. 01:06:17
All the users and get us up and running and off the ground. 01:06:23
That's really kind of the long and short of the equipment and what we're looking to do with it. 01:06:28
Cool. Thanks. Cool. 01:06:33
To provide your Humphrey, Mr. Chair, I have no question Supervisor Christensen and neither do I. Thank you. Looks like we're 01:06:34
spending a lot of money on you today Cole. Thank you. I appreciate that. There is there is also a grant that was that they found 01:06:39
funding for. Yes. 01:06:44
So partial parking. Yeah, so. 01:06:50
Coordinator Deborah Williams. She was asked to look for a grant. For this, she was able to find one to the tune of $49,000 even. 01:06:54
And that will supplement the the purchase of this. Well, that's good. Thank you. 01:07:02
That entertain emotion. 01:07:07
Mr. Chair, I move to approve Service Agreement number 0614. 01:07:09
23-1 with Exicom in the amount of $99,708.23. I will second that having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, 01:07:14
Aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you, Cole. Thank you, Carrie. 01:07:22
Thank you. On to E information discussion action to approve the use of State of Arizona Procurement Office contract number. 01:07:30
Ctr. 063770. 01:07:38
With Iron Mountain Incorporated in the amount of $538,197.46. 01:07:42
For the digitizing insight computer program, destruction of unneeded documents and transportation, pickup of documents and plans, 01:07:50
Randy, we have you and Payson. 01:07:55
Tomorrow, Karen Troop risers. 01:08:02
As you know, this has been an ongoing want and need for the. 01:08:04
County over several years, long before I was even here. 01:08:10
Of digitizing community development files. 01:08:15
We have. 01:08:19
A couple Connex boxes full of archive files that are not. 01:08:21
Climate controlled. 01:08:26
And they're just sitting out there. They grow Moby and. 01:08:27
And are are dying and we're trying to save all that. 01:08:31
Plus all of the 67 file cabinets full of. 01:08:34
Ongoing files that we have. 01:08:40
Umm. 01:08:42
I got involved in this about a year ago with Harry Jacobs. 01:08:43
And uh, it's taken that long to get to this point. 01:08:48
Basically we're looking at in community development around 72,000. 01:08:52
Files. 01:08:58
And. 01:08:59
We're looking at about. 01:09:00
Two and a half million. 01:09:02
Different scans of paperwork than permits and inspections. 01:09:05
And then we're looking at about 37,000. 01:09:10
Uh. 01:09:15
Plans. 01:09:15
That are going to be scanned. 01:09:17
They'll be put into a insight system. 01:09:19
Which makes anything that's on those plans are on those paper. 01:09:22
Recognizable. 01:09:27
We've been working with IT to ensure that everything works together and with the new permitting system that all that's going to 01:09:29
work together. 01:09:34
So that somewhere down the line we can turn this over to the citizens. 01:09:39
Where they can look up their own items, so if they want to know something about their parcel. 01:09:45
What's there? What's not there? They don't have to come into the office. 01:09:50
And then staff doesn't have to go pull. 01:09:54
A file line? A file cabinet. 01:09:56
Talk with them over the counter and then go make copies and so on and so on. 01:09:59
They'll be able to be at home and research this stuff on their own, print it out. 01:10:04
They have whatever information that's in there that's accessible. 01:10:08
Um, this is involving? 01:10:13
Quite extensive, there's this is a not to exceed number. 01:10:16
Because we first of all, we don't know exactly how many pieces of paper there are. We did not count two and a half million. 01:10:21
But that over the companies. 01:10:27
Experienced that average is what they came out, They have been to our site, have looked at our files, have went through them 01:10:29
several times. 01:10:33
We've had staff go through them to. 01:10:38
Uh, kind of verify the numbers they came up with and and the idea of all that. 01:10:40
Umm. 01:10:45
Right Now what the they had. 01:10:47
Propose. 01:10:50
Was. 01:10:51
That they will come pick up the files, take them, scan them. 01:10:52
Put them all back together and then bring them back to us. 01:10:55
Well, we're finding out through the state archives. 01:10:58
That we don't necessarily have to have those back. 01:11:01
Um, a lot of those are going to be destroyed. 01:11:04
Obviously. 01:11:07
Destroying the. 01:11:09
Files would be a lot cheaper than. 01:11:10
Um. 01:11:12
Having staff or having their staff. 01:11:14
Putting them back together and bringing it to us and then us refilling them again and. 01:11:17
Um, it doesn't seem like a a. 01:11:22
A good plan overall. 01:11:24
But under state archives we have to keep so many files or certain files. 01:11:26
Uh, for permanent. 01:11:32
So we are not going to get rid of all file cabinets. 01:11:33
But I sure hope to have a. 01:11:37
A. Fire shell on file cabinets at the end of this process. 01:11:39
The current time frame is route 10 months. 01:11:43
To get this accomplished. 01:11:47
At that point. 01:11:50
The computer program, the insight that you talked about is the program that recognizes the scans. 01:11:52
And we'll make it searchable by anyone who has access to that. 01:11:58
And we are working on all that and verified with other departments. 01:12:03
How this will work? IT has been involved. 01:12:08
Other departments are looking at going through the scanning. 01:12:11
We're just happy to be. 01:12:15
One of the bigger ones. 01:12:17
Moving forward, all the staff and it's already been purchased. 01:12:19
All the staff will have scanners at their desk and at the front counters. 01:12:23
So any paperwork coming in will just automatically get scanned. 01:12:28
And we won't have to hopefully go through this again. It will be an ongoing. 01:12:32
A process to ensure. 01:12:36
That the citizens had and staff have the most. 01:12:39
Up to date access to all their documents. 01:12:43
I'll be more happy ohh this is coming out of the ark money. 01:12:46
So if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them. Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:12:51
This one Randy, is is there a length of time that you need to keep records or just as far back as you get and as much information? 01:12:57
As you have, just keep it for as long as you can or. 01:13:05
Of. 01:13:09
Just for information for the public. 01:13:10
We have a documentation. 01:13:13
Timeline that is approved by the state. 01:13:17
Some are permanent. 01:13:20
A. A. A. 01:13:21
Permit card. 01:13:23
It's permanent. 01:13:25
A plan of the houses is 90 days. 01:13:26
A plan for a. 01:13:30
Commercial business is one year. 01:13:33
Uh. 01:13:35
We've kept them for a lot longer than that. 01:13:37
Um, basically because they're all in a file and you know, you'd have to pull those out and. 01:13:40
Everything else we did set up a system that we can get rid of. 01:13:45
Plans on a timely basis and we have them all dated by. 01:13:49
Time. 01:13:53
But the states the one that determines that. 01:13:54
Uh, what are permanent? What are not permanent? 01:13:57
And it's stated in the archive. 01:14:00
That if it was created. 01:14:03
By. 01:14:05
Hand. 01:14:06
You have to keep it permanently, so we have. 01:14:07
I'm gonna say several 100. 01:14:10
Uh. 01:14:12
Hermitage. 01:14:14
They were created by hand. They were actually handwritten out permits. 01:14:15
Those will be permanent. 01:14:19
If they're completed. 01:14:20
Started by the computer. 01:14:22
Then we can scan those and get rid of those. 01:14:24
I will say that the archives may not be up to date on all the options. 01:14:28
Because they still like microphone. 01:14:33
So I haven't seen one of those projectors in years, but that's kind of where they're at. So yes, there is a limit and there if you 01:14:36
exceed that limit, then you actually are in violation also. 01:14:42
Because if you tell me you're going to keep this for six months and you keep it for five years. 01:14:48
You're actually still in violation of the retention schedule. 01:14:52
There's still this company that's gonna take everything you have and do it all up nice and neat and not give it back to you. 01:14:56
Then you're going to need to, I guess, to inventory what you give them. 01:15:03
So the stuff that you don't need to keep or or things of that nature. 01:15:09
Uh, you're going to have to deal with that prior to them scanning everything. Is that correct? 01:15:15
Correct. And they need all the requirements for the handling. They actually inventory every piece of document that comes to them. 01:15:21
They do this all across the area. 01:15:29
Um, they're huge. 01:15:32
But they document everything that we give them. 01:15:34
We have certain stickers on, like those handwritten permits. 01:15:38
We have those as documented that those need to come back to us. 01:15:42
But the other ones don't necessarily need come back to us and then we'll have them destroyed. They will also provide us the 01:15:46
documentation that we need to give to the state when we destroy a document. 01:15:51
And they will ensure that all the paperwork that is required by the state. 01:15:57
Is followed and they do this all the time. 01:16:02
OK. Yeah. No, just question, ask and answer. Thank you very much. 01:16:06
Supervisor Christiansen. 01:16:12
Thank you, Chairman and thank you, Randy. Yeah, we we've known this is coming along and. 01:16:14
I find some things curious and funny. In fact I find most things curious and funny how we have discussed this morning about 01:16:19
converting our voting into non electronic, non tabulation paper count. Humans only. 01:16:27
And now we're going to completely go the other direction with digital files. And I I just find that humorous. 01:16:34
But I know we need to do that. 01:16:40
So thanks. 01:16:42
Yes, Sir. 01:16:44
Randy, thank you. I think this is that. 01:16:45
Obviously you haven't digitized and and. 01:16:48
Readily available for whoever needs to pull it up is a good team. 01:16:51
Comes with the big cost and I guess that is the ARPA money as well, so. 01:16:55
But this will set up the only thing I would be curious, Randy. And I know, I know, maybe I already know the answer to my own 01:17:00
question, but. 01:17:03
What about mess ups? Or how do you know everything's going to get through and be put in there that you're going to need? Is there 01:17:08
any guarantees? 01:17:11
I guarantee probably not, but this is a pretty efficient company has done it for other jurisdictions. 01:17:18
We'll document the files. 01:17:24
One of the things we're doing the plan is, is that let them take the archives out of the unex office. 01:17:26
Both here and patient and morning glow. 01:17:33
Practice on that. 01:17:36
Make sure that the quality of those are our worst files anyway. 01:17:38
To make sure the scans are up to the quality, that are readable and doable and everything else. 01:17:42
Um. 01:17:48
And then once we approve that then they will come and get other. 01:17:49
Portions of the files that's at a time. 01:17:54
They've actually even implemented. 01:17:57
That if during the scanning process. So in other words, there's a. 01:17:59
File that a customer comes in that we really have to have. 01:18:04
But it's in their possession. 01:18:07
Dave actually committed to go out, pull that file, scan it and send it to us. 01:18:09
So the customers aren't going to be. 01:18:14
Put out more than that necessary to get this accomplish. 01:18:17
OK. Thank you, Andy. 01:18:21
That entertain a motion, Mr. Chair, I move to approve the use of State of Arizona Procurement Office contract number Ctr. 063770, 01:18:23
with Iron Mountain Incorporated. 01:18:28
In the amount of $538,197.46 is presented. 01:18:34
Mr. Chair, I will second that having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, motion carries. Thank you, 01:18:40
Randy. 01:18:44
Onto Earth Information Discussion Action to enter into an agreement with Salt River Project. 01:18:49
For access and construction purposes consisting of excavation. 01:18:55
Folder placement, barricades and other related barrier placement activities on land located near a crossroad and to authorize the 01:19:00
Chairman to sign Salt River Project construction license number. 01:19:07
94886 for the period August 1st 23. 01:19:15
Through August 1st, 25 and we have Homero. 01:19:20
Good morning. Good morning, Chairman and Board members. 01:19:24
Tom Goodman was supposed to be the presenter, but the Army Corps called us yesterday afternoon and wanted to come visit what we 01:19:27
had done at Bloody Tanks, and I asked Tom to. 01:19:32
Represent the county on that site. Visit SO. 01:19:38
That's why I'm acting in his behalf this morning. So this is a request to enter into agreement with Salt River Project for a 01:19:41
construction easement. They call it a licensing agreement, but it's really a construction crew, simply just a construction 01:19:46
investment. It's a two year agreement for us to do work. 01:19:51
Uh, and and and use their property to to do that work. And then we move out and we no longer have have a license to do any 01:19:57
additional work beyond that. 01:20:02
The proposed work is located on the East End of a crossroads. 01:20:08
And like you mentioned, the work consists of excavating boulder placement, barricades and other related barrier placement 01:20:12
activities. 01:20:16
On the A+ crossroad. 01:20:20
The contractor that's on the Counter Creek Project project will place the boulders in a berm. 01:20:22
As part of the restoration project. 01:20:29
The road will be permanently closed and rehabilitated, also as part of the Conflict Free project by the contractor. 01:20:31
So it's our recommendation that the that the Board of Supervisors enter into this agreement with Salt River Project. And with 01:20:40
that, I'll take questions. Thank you, Homer. Supervisor Healthcare, I have no questions. 01:20:45
Supervisor Christian, thank you. No questions. 01:20:51
So you said the east side across the, did you mean the the West End that the bridge? 01:20:53
Umm. 01:20:59
There's a, there's a, there's a map fixer available on the and it shows the east side as as being. 01:21:00
The circle up there. 01:21:07
Yeah, he's inside. 01:21:09
So. 01:21:12
Whose jurisdiction is this? 01:21:15
Pardon me, whose jurisdiction is this that that property belongs to some river project? 01:21:18
It's surrounded by the forest. 01:21:24
At Aboriginally we thought it was for profit. 01:21:27
When we then when this project was first Invasion, then the contract was put together. 01:21:29
That particular area that we're working on belongs to Salt River Project. 01:21:34
Hmm. 01:21:40
So. 01:21:43
So what you're saying is this property is just right off of the the 288 it's right off of? 01:21:44
The apartment. 01:21:51
Umm. 01:21:53
At the apartment on the east side. 01:21:55
On this side of the bridge and east side of the bridge, OK. When you said east side of a cross, I was literally thinking across 01:21:59
Rd. 01:22:03
OK. Thank you, Homero. 01:22:07
I don't have any other questions either that I didn't paint a motion. 01:22:09
Mr. Chair, I'm I moved to enter into an agreement with Salt River Project and authorize the chairman. 01:22:12
To sign the Salt River Project construction license number. 01:22:18
94886 as presented, I will second that having a motion, and second all in favor do so by saying aye, aye, aye, motion carries. 01:22:22
See information discussion Action to adopt resolution #23-07. 01:22:32
Dash 03 to authorize the Chairman signature on the Arizona Department of Transportation. 01:22:38
Intergovernmental Agreement #20-0008 Zero 60-I. 01:22:44
Amendment #222-000 Eight 760-I. 01:22:52
Tunnel Creek Bridge construction. Homer, thank you. I'd like to offer some introductory remarks before I get into this agenda 01:22:58
item. 01:23:02
The amendment is required because we received additional grant monies. We received $250,000 in addition to what was originally 01:23:07
provided for us in the in the initial grant. 01:23:12
Uh, the work on the bridge is progressing very nicely. 41% of of the hours that were on the contract, 41% of the hours are 01:23:17
consumed. We're almost like halfway there. 01:23:22
The work is scheduled to be completed next June. 01:23:27
Work is taking place right now on Gabions. 01:23:31
Uh, they're they're doing the forming and the pouring on columns on pure caption on a bit abutments in the next couple of weeks, 01:23:34
so you should be able you can't see the work from from the highway as you drive by. 01:23:39
And it'll be more prominent in the very near future. 01:23:45
So the Board of Supervisors approved the original IGA with a dot on May 25th of 21 for the bridge construction. 01:23:49
And on June 3rd of of of. 01:23:57
2020 Second, the board approved Amendment #1. 01:24:00
We have looked at that. Those documents that we felt like they were didn't really express the numbers. We went back to a dot when 01:24:04
we received the 250,000. 01:24:08
And we asked them to review those documents and they did some edits. 01:24:13
And I'd like to share a spreadsheet that's actually up there and it's in your package. 01:24:17
That that best explains the flow of money. 01:24:22
But Amendment number 2 will revise the project cost to include the $250,000 increase in the bill and the bill grant. 01:24:25
Um, and the execution of this amendment and the receipt of the additional after receiving the the Additional Bill grant. 01:24:31
The county will be in reimbursed in amount of 32,450 and if and if you look at the spreadsheet that's up there. 01:24:40
Uh, it's a very top of the spreadsheet. Uh, the first box that you see are the costs associated with the bridge. There's a utility 01:24:48
relocation cost. 01:24:52
Biological monitoring, cost image construction. 01:24:57
That, by the way, has not changed. That's the original contract that we received from Ames. We still have at least 75% of our 01:25:00
contingency left on that contract. Things are working very nicely at this point in time. 01:25:06
There's a, there's a construction administration of a little over two million, $2.5 million with ADOPT. There's a contingency 01:25:12
amount that I just mentioned is at least 75% in fact at this point for our construction total of just a little over $25 million. 01:25:20
OK. 01:25:29
The original bill grant provided a little bit over $21 million. 01:25:30
Umm. 01:25:35
And the county share the difference of of those two numbers is a little bit over 4,412,000 dollars 600 and. 01:25:36
605 dollars. 01:25:44
4,004,605 dollars. 01:25:45
So that was the the county share that's required, the county has paid. 01:25:48
So far 3.7 million a little over 3.7 million that was in two payments. 01:25:53
And the difference that's still needed is $217,000 and 2000. 01:25:58
To $217,550. 01:26:05
And the additional bill grant provides 250,000. 01:26:09
And that's the difference that I that we just mentioned a minute ago that that we would get reimbursed 32,449 when the project is 01:26:12
done. 01:26:16
Are given that we don't exceed our contingency, OK. So basically it's a I think it's good news, it's settled, set everything up 01:26:21
and there's a little bit of money left over at the end of the project. So we would like to recommend the adoption. 01:26:28
Of Amendment #2 by the Board of Supervisors. 01:26:35
Thank you, Homer. 01:26:39
Any questions? Supervisor helping? Mr. Chair, I have no questions. Thank you. 01:26:41
Suffrage Christiansen Only one Where did that 250 come from? The state or federal? Federal OK. 01:26:45
Thanks to the people before me. 01:26:53
This actually has been around for a while. 01:26:56
It's just that they don't belong while to figure out the the, the, the accounting for the project. 01:26:58
Thank you. 01:27:04
Thank you, Omar. I'm good with that idea kind of motion. 01:27:05
Mr. Chairman, I will move to adopt Resolution #23-07-03 and authorize the Chairman signature on the Arizona Department of 01:27:07
Transportation Intergovernmental Agreement 20-0008, Zero 60-I and then number 222. 01:27:16
Dash 0008760 as presented. 01:27:25
I'll second that Mr. Chair having a motion, and second all in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. 01:27:29
Onto age, information, discussion, action. 01:27:36
To approve the use of State of Arizona Procurement Office contract number ADOA Ctr. 058876. 01:27:40
With Kimley, Horn and Associates incorporated. 01:27:49
In the amount of $472,000 to update the Four service Hwy. 512. 01:27:52
Environmental documents and clearances with the completion date of September 9th, 24 Homer. 01:27:58
Thank you. 01:28:04
So on September 6th of 2022, the Board approved the USDA Forest Service Rd. Project Agreement. 01:28:06
Which Provided $472,000 as a grant to undertake the environmental document. 01:28:14
For that portion of 512 Four Service Hwy. 512 that has not been paid. 01:28:21
They provided this funding. 01:28:27
We'd like to utilize it and we'd like to utilize Kimley Horn's services through to complete the environmental service. 01:28:29
And those things are the environmental. 01:28:37
The environmental assessment. 01:28:40
Would include the of course, the biological, the archaeological, the 404 scoping with all the all the required entities. 01:28:43
And also it would include 60% of the design work for for the road itself. 01:28:52
So when we would be finished with the environmental assessment work, we would have most of the design work for the road already 01:28:58
done. 01:29:01
Right. 01:29:06
Um, and there we would like to the grant actually has a a term limit. We would like to meet be compliant with that with that term 01:29:07
limit. 01:29:12
And and therefore they're the request is. 01:29:18
Umm. 01:29:21
It's the The proposal and scope of work by Kim Lee Horn has been reviewed by the Forest Service. They'll be sure that the project 01:29:22
would not be missing any elements at the end of the contract. 01:29:27
Uh, the owners Contingency. There's actually. 01:29:32
Can We Horn would like to charge $402,000. 01:29:36
And leaving 69,000. 01:29:41
$212.00 in that grant amount available. We'd like to keep that as that owners contingency in case anything shows up. If nothing 01:29:44
happens then that we probably will have to ask the four service if we can use that money for something else or return it. 01:29:51
But there seems to be ample funding in the grant to undertake the environmental assessment. 01:30:00
And and we do have a a time frame that we've incorporated into the into the agreement with Kimley Horn and that's to complete 01:30:05
complete the environmental assessment by 9/9 of next year, 2024. 01:30:12
And with that, I'll, I'll take questions. 01:30:19
Thank you, Homer. Supervisor Humphrey, Mr. Chair, I have no questions. Supervisor Christensen, thank you. No questions. There's 01:30:22

Thank you. 01:30:54
Yeah. 01:30:55

We're submitting for monies to finish the design and and obtain some pavement. The grant size is $1.8 million. 01:31:15
And we'll be sharing that with the board in more formal fashion. 01:31:23
In the in the near future. 01:31:27
Sounds good, Homer. And I don't know if any of you guys have been on that North Rd. in the last. 01:31:29
While but it is totally mucked out. 01:31:34
So, and it's gotten to the point where. 01:31:37
No matter what we do with motor graders or anything else, it just it stays beat out. Traffic is unreal, speed is high. 01:31:40
The whole 9 yards, so. 01:31:47
It's it's done but. 01:31:49
Surprise the helping Yeah, that pavement will slow him down no longer, but but it'll sure be nice to him, my trailers and stuff, 01:31:51

Thank you, Kaylee. Supervisor Humphrey questions, comments. And just one, are you having any luck with local contractors working 01:35:56
with you on some of these projects? So yeah, we have contracts in place. There are some requirements that our contractors have to 01:36:01
abide by. So that has been a bit of a struggle. 01:36:07
But um, but we have had success. 01:36:15

For eligible Healey County residents experiencing homelessness, Kelly. 01:37:22
Mr. Chairman, Members of the board, this agreement has no funding attached to it, but it will be beneficial in helping people in 01:37:27
our community who are experiencing homelessness. 01:37:32
We can help them get vital documents such as photo IDs and birth certificates. 01:37:38
Um, this is something that people often kind of stop the process because it's it's a lengthy process. Or has. 01:37:43
Fees associated with it and through this agreement we can help mitigate those issues for our clients and help them. 01:37:50
To, you know, come out of homelessness on the other side. 01:37:59
Supervisor Humphrey questions comments. I have no questions. 01:38:03
Supervisor Christiansen. 01:38:07
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Kerry. Yeah, this is. 01:38:08
That's great. Thank you. 01:38:12
So. 01:38:14
We've been doing this before. 01:38:16
No, this is the new new agreement with the Homeless ID project that just came about. 01:38:19
OK, so I see a lot of advantages to this for folks take advantage of this deep. 01:38:25
So you haven't started it yet, right? You're going to when's that start date going? 01:38:31
Yeah. 01:38:36
The agreement says July 1, so as soon as it gets approved, we can begin. 01:38:37
So I'm really curious as to how many people would take advantage of this, I mean or use it, not take advantage of it, but use it. 01:38:44
I mean that would be something to see. I'm I'm curious to see that you know? 01:38:49
I I always makes me wonder, well, homeless people, you know, if they're. 01:38:55
Off the grid for a reason maybe? 01:38:59
You know, or some of them just struggling and trying to get back on their feet, Which documents like you're willing to help them 01:39:02
with is a huge plus. So this will be something. 01:39:07
Kind of cool to watch and see how it does for you. Yeah, absolutely. And we'll we'll be starting to have metrics that we can bring 01:39:13
back to also let you know how successful it's been. We would appreciate an update. Thank you that I'd entertain a motion and Mr. 01:39:19
Chairman, if I may add this one and that's the people in the past and my self included. 01:39:25
There's been a stigma for homelessness, but. 01:39:31
The things have changed quite a bit now to where people that don't want to be homeless are becoming that way or they're becoming 01:39:33
in this transitional state. 01:39:38
Either of their rent, they're they're renting something they can't afford any longer, they've lost something like their car and 01:39:42
they can't fix it, then they can't go to work that it's just a big thing. So anyway, I thank you for that comment. And with that, 01:39:49
I'll make the move to approve a memorandum of understanding with the Homeless ID project. 01:39:57
Incorporated as presented. 01:40:04
Mr. Chair, I'll second that having a motion. And second, all in favor, do so by saying aye, Aye, aye, Motion carries. Thank you. 01:40:08
Honda L Information Discussion Action to adopt the Fiscal Year 24 Proposed Salary Salary Plan Positively affecting. 01:40:17
All 459 of the county's full time employees and utilizing. 01:40:27
$1,504,716.00 of available budget capacity to implement the Fiscal Year 24 salary plan. 01:40:32
Effective the first full period period in 24. 01:40:43
Man, that's a mouthful. 01:40:47
Good morning, Mr. Chair. 01:40:51
Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Christensen. 01:40:52
We did use the computer to do the math. There was number black box involved and the numbers that went in matched the numbers that 01:40:56
came out and they were verified by at least three other professionals in the room. 01:41:01
When we brought you our. 01:41:09
Our proposed budget a couple of weeks ago and. 01:41:11
And as we talked about a variety of things preparing the budget this year. 01:41:15
We talked about what capacity was available for. 01:41:19
Creating a. 01:41:23
Wage increase. 01:41:25
Positively affecting as many of our staff as possible. 01:41:27
The plan that we have come up with that's illustrated here. 01:41:31
Positively affects all 459 full time regular employees here at Gila County. 01:41:34
It uses $1,504,716.00 of available capacity. 01:41:40
Of that. 01:41:47
Just over 1,008,000 is from the general fund. 01:41:48
And then 496,000 would come from the special revenue fund. 01:41:52
This also includes enough funding to cover the benefits linked to those those salary increases. 01:41:56
Included in the calculation was making sure that the lowest pay grade would come up to $15.00 an hour. That's $1.20 per hour 01:42:07
increase from our current lowest pay rate of 1380. 01:42:14
We are working to make sure that the separation between pay grades is 2 1/2 percent. 01:42:22
And that that systematically increases as we go up through the pay grades. 01:42:29
And. 01:42:34
That it create that it works to reduce compression. 01:42:35
We also know that there are additional challenges with compression and. 01:42:39
On paper performance. 01:42:44
So in addition to this 1,500,000 that we're talking about. 01:42:46
To be effective the first full pay period in July, we also are proposing to build in 1.6%. 01:42:52
To be used at the departmental level. 01:43:01
And I don't mean. 01:43:04
To give free rein to department directors, I mean to. 01:43:06
And to ensure that each department can have. 01:43:09
Have capacity for pay, for performance and to ameliorate compression issues. 01:43:13
Umm. 01:43:18
We would talk later about. 01:43:19
What exactly those criteria were, But we wanted to make sure that this discussion came to you separate from next week's final 01:43:22
budget adoption. 01:43:26
So that not only could you have a conversation about it, but you could also. 01:43:30
Um, have documentation now and for the future, for all your constituents and for all the staff. 01:43:36
That these considerations were taken seriously, that that we looked at all of these items. 01:43:41
And took your consideration seriously. We've been talking about the budget for five months now. 01:43:48
And we we worked as closely as we could with everybody we could to come up with this. 01:43:53
So the base adjustment pay for all employees is 4.9% with this. 01:44:00
Then there's a second layer. 01:44:05
That would ensure that the minimum salary increase. 01:44:07
Would be $3000 for the year. 01:44:11
So. 01:44:13
What that works out to is any employee making less than. 01:44:14
Right now making less than $61,225. 01:44:18
Will receive the minimum $3000 annual increase. 01:44:22
And then the salary increases range from 9.75% to 4.9%. 01:44:26
And some of the. 01:44:33
Salaries on the the lower end, closer to entry level, needed a little bit more adjustment, so we worked together with. 01:44:35
With staff to develop that. 01:44:42
That range. So we're here to answer any questions for you and to give you whatever other information we might. 01:44:46
Be able to provide. 01:44:52
Thank you, Mayor. 01:44:56
That's a lot to think about here in the next minute. 01:44:58
Supervisor Healthy. 01:45:01
Mr. Thank you. Yeah, I I looked over this and and there was an awful lot of thought. 01:45:04
The and in two. 01:45:09
These calculations I mean, when I looked at it, I I was pretty impressed with. 01:45:11
Of of the thought that went in of all of the different. 01:45:16
Ranges that you had to deal with with the minimum wage and on up. So I I just appreciate all the. 01:45:20
But you know, you could have thrown something together to put to us and you, didn't you, you you put an awful lot of thought and 01:45:27
effort into this and appreciate it very much. And I'm sure that the employees will as well. I wish I could take credit for it. 01:45:33
There were 11 different iterations, Mr. Menlo. 01:45:38
Was super helpful in in addressing all the nuances. 01:45:45
My plan was not nearly this elegant or or well thought out so. 01:45:49
It it is definitely a product of teamwork and I'm really, really fortunate to work with great people who. 01:45:54
Who put a lot of time and effort into this? 01:45:59
OK, then I won't give you all the credit as I you thought I did before. 01:46:02
They. 01:46:08
Thank, thank everyone that worked on this and maybe we need to get them a little plaque and have them stand up front employee of 01:46:09
the year or something, but thank you very much. 01:46:14
Supervisor Christensen, Yes, thank you Chairman and thank you Mayor. And and I'll just say thank you. We're credited due. 01:46:20
And I think it is a good plan and I'm just going to ask and you can just give me a round about you if if you know so on this 01:46:26
second layer minimum pay adjustment 3000 would be. 01:46:32
The minimum. 01:46:38
Amount someone would get. How many employees does that affect? 01:46:41
The employees, would that be 102 hundred? I think it's almost 300, but I'd have to look at the list at 2:30. So it's it's a. 01:46:47
Vast majority of all vascularity, right? Or at least 50%. So OK, good. Here's more closer It's over 60 percent, 60%. It is a 01:46:57
significant number of employees that. 01:47:03
Yeah, I'm glad to see that. Thank you. 01:47:10
Thank you, Mayor. Thank you James and everybody else I Yeah. 01:47:12
And if we can help more people, especially at the bottom end, I know you know that's where my heart is, is at the lower levels, 01:47:18
not at the top, so. 01:47:22
But thank you very much for what you put together. I appreciate it. 01:47:26
That I didn't take a motion. 01:47:30
Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt. 01:47:33
The FY20 24 salary plan. 01:47:35
As presented, I will second that having a motion, and second all in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye, motion carries. 01:47:40
Thank you, Mayor. And you got one another one. So. 01:47:49
Him Information, Discussion Action to Adopt Fiscal Year 24, Full Cost Allocation Plan, and CFR Code of Federal Regulations. 01:47:53
Cost allocation plan man. 01:48:01
Good morning again, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Christensen, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:48:04
I put together a PowerPoint for this and then looked at the agenda and thought, there's no way you're going to want to sit through 01:48:09
another one. 01:48:12
So. 01:48:15
Today I will keep it short. We expected to have printed copies for you today, and they have not come in yet. 01:48:16
Each one is about this thick, and you'd each get two of them, so. 01:48:22
When those come in, we will distribute them to you. 01:48:27
This is. 01:48:30
Effectively a scientific distribution of the complete cost of running the county across all the functions of what the county does. 01:48:32
We have an obligation under federal regulation. 01:48:41
To. 01:48:45
Maintain a cost allocation plan. 01:48:46
To have that done by a professional firm. 01:48:49
So Seinfeld Meech has prepared the one that we received. 01:48:52
And are hoping to adopt. Today there are two versions. The full version does all the costs across the whole county. 01:48:56
The CFR version is the one that is based on the Code of Federal Regulations and limits some of the expenses that can be allocated. 01:49:03
But it dictates what we calculate it cost to run a grant or program. So that when we apply for a grant or program, instead of 01:49:12
saying that we'll take the 10% de minimis, we can say what the actual administrative cost is. 01:49:21
And then that information gets passed on to the grantor. 01:49:31
And then we can go back and forth on it. We do have a couple of Grand Tours who are waiting for us to approve the CFR plan so that 01:49:34
they can approve. 01:49:39
Those programs budgets for next year. 01:49:45
