|
To them.
|
00:00:04
|
|
Testing. Testing.
|
00:00:07
|
|
Please.
|
00:00:30
|
|
History.
|
00:00:34
|
|
Yeah.
|
00:00:36
|
|
Chip.
|
00:00:43
|
|
1.
|
00:00:49
|
|
Alright.
|
00:00:52
|
|
Testing, Testing, 1-2, three. Can you hear me?
|
00:00:53
|
|
Alrighty.
|
00:01:03
|
|
Can you hear me?
|
00:01:04
|
|
But from testing 1-2 three.
|
00:01:07
|
|
Good morning, everyone.
|
00:01:32
|
|
We're going to get started here, pacing. Are you guys getting pacing?
|
00:01:35
|
|
Yep.
|
00:01:39
|
|
Thank you, Joseph. We're good here and Youtubes working this morning.
|
00:01:40
|
|
Right on so.
|
00:01:44
|
|
Thanks for being here this morning. It's Tuesday, July 11th. It's 10:00. O'clock straight up and we'll start this call to order
|
00:01:46
|
|
the Pledge of Allegiance. And Tim, you want to lead us in the pledge and then next going to lead us in the invocation?
|
00:01:53
|
|
I pledged.
|
00:02:01
|
|
Space.
|
00:02:05
|
|
Just, says one Nation.
|
00:02:08
|
|
Small.
|
00:02:12
|
|
That's this girl.
|
00:02:13
|
|
Thinking that the US is in this meeting of the side with respect to people.
|
00:02:22
|
|
Presentations on the escalator.
|
00:02:27
|
|
That will spread to the weapon then.
|
00:02:29
|
|
For me, the service bus.
|
00:02:31
|
|
So these things and then just cross them.
|
00:02:33
|
|
Thank you, Nick.
|
00:02:36
|
|
OK, going on to #2 presentations to a presentation of information by Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers.
|
00:02:43
|
|
Regarding the Senate Concurrent Resolution 10:37 and also we have Sunny Borelli.
|
00:02:52
|
|
Dinner.
|
00:02:58
|
|
Good to see you guys and Mark Fincham here. So come on up Wendy and.
|
00:02:59
|
|
I'll let you get started. Or how do you want to do this?
|
00:03:03
|
|
OK, that that's cool.
|
00:03:08
|
|
Come on up, Sir.
|
00:03:11
|
|
He.
|
00:03:13
|
|
Retired Marine gunnery started, but this Colonel still has to supervise.
|
00:03:15
|
|
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.

00:52:59
|
|
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

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
|
|
472,000 Homer. That's the money or James we got from Senator Kelly.
|
01:30:28
|
|
Is that right?
|
01:30:34
|
|
No, I I don't.
|
01:30:38
|
|
I'm sorry, So where Where did so where did money come from?
|
01:30:42
|
|
It's a federal grant.
|
01:30:46
|
|
Or to our service. OK, it came through the Forest Service to us.
|
01:30:48
|
|
OK.
|
01:30:52
|
|
Thank you.
|
01:30:54

|
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

Good morning, Chairman, Members of the Board, good morning. Like you said, this is a grant that we received for weatherization

services for our community as well as utility repair and replacement.
|
01:35:39
|
|
Um and assistance with utility deposits and bills.

01:35:45

This grant has no matching requirement and has been very helpful for our community in the past.
|
01:35:49
|
|
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
|
|
OK. Thank you, supervisor.

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.

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
|
|
|
