| I'm glad we're able to do that, James. | 00:12:44 | |
| As Chairman, I just want to point out at this at this point that we're having this. | 00:12:48 | |
| TNT hearing that the maximum allowable tax rate for Henry County is nearly $7.00 per $100 assessed value. | 00:12:52 | |
| That we. | 00:13:00 | |
| You as a board. | 00:13:01 | |
| Are conservative and holding taxes and keeping them as low as possible that we could be up nearly $7.00 per $100 and we're just | 00:13:03 | |
| over $4.00. So my appreciation to each of you for. | 00:13:09 | |
| You're conservative approach in keeping taxes low for the residents of either county. | 00:13:16 | |
| I appreciate that, James. My only comment to that would be we wouldn't be in these chairs very long with half we did that might be | 00:13:20 | |
| a recall going on really quick in HeLa County. | 00:13:24 | |
| So thank you James, but that is a good point to make. | 00:13:30 | |
| That, you know, for all of our years, plus the years behind us, it's been able to be held herself. | 00:13:33 | |
| With that, I would open up the public hearings and do we have anyone in person? | 00:13:39 | |

| I'm gonna ask you guys, do you guys ever get comments on the budget or any big question you really on the budget? Because I don't. | 00:21:20 | |
| No. | 00:21:26 | |
| I mean, you know, when we hold our town halls and stuff like that, I really don't. | 00:21:28 | |
| I don't ever have any questions now. | 00:21:32 | |
| Most of the questions to me are are. | 00:21:35 | |
| About them and and their. | 00:21:38 | |
| Space in the world. | 00:21:41 | |
| Not. | 00:21:42 | |
| Right, counties, right. It's like they. | 00:21:43 | |
| They care about their grocery list, not necessarily are. | 00:21:47 | |
| I was on Kimmel yesterday and received the question as to whether or not we spend all of this every year. And I said no, we | 00:21:51 | |
| probably spend between 60 and 70% of that and I hope I'm pretty close, but we budget. | 00:21:58 | |
| For things that may not be anticipated, though, that's why it's so high. Go ahead, James. | 00:22:06 | |
| Mr. Chairman and and kind of a little added to that, that we were required by state law to budget every single penny. | 00:22:13 | |
| That we have or that we may have. | 00:22:21 | |
| And so if we're planning a project, they're doing some things that there's potential that we could do in the coming year we have | 00:22:24 | |
| to budget for. And so that's why you get in the 6070% that will actually spend. | 00:22:30 | |
| Because we're preparing for and planning to or may not be able to fully. | 00:22:37 | |
| Develop or fully implement a project that we're hoping to do. | 00:22:42 | |
| It might be put off for a year or something like that, so. | 00:22:46 | |
| That's why we're required by state law to. | 00:22:49 | |
| Budget for every single penny that we have or could potentially have. | 00:22:51 | |
| Good to know, man. Thank you. And so with that, I'll open up a. | 00:22:57 | |
| Public hearing? Is there anyone yet impatient? | 00:23:02 | |
| Cassie, you still with us? | 00:23:10 | |
| I'm here. Yeah. There's no reason. No one impatient. OK. Thank you. | 00:23:12 | |
| Joseph. | 00:23:17 | |
| How many on YouTube? | 00:23:19 | |
| We're looking at 15. | 00:23:24 | |
| Ohh wow. OK finance department. | 00:23:25 | |
| Waiting to see if it's gonna go through. And no one in love, so I'll close the public Union. Entertain a motion, Mr. Chair. I'll | 00:23:29 | |
| move to adopt resolution #23-07-01. | 00:23:35 | |
| Put me on a business, aren't you? | 00:23:42 | |
| Is it your turn? | 00:23:45 | |
| I'm sorry, kind of be my guest. | 00:23:47 | |
| I've been doing all the red letters. I just thought, well, keep it, OK. | 00:23:52 | |

| Dollars, Mr. Chair. I'll second that having a motion. A second. All in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye. | 00:24:20 | |
| Do you need to speak before this or aye? Motion carries now. Now you can first Chairman, I just formed to point out that. | 00:24:28 | |
| Last year, you last week you approved a salary plan payroll plan and I have not heard anything but positive from employees and | 00:24:37 | |
| throughout the county. So thank you for including that in this budget to compensation for our employees. | 00:24:44 | |
| It's really tough time to be able to address needs and. | 00:24:53 | |
| It is to I don't know what we are totally eating every need, but it's it was a good effort and thank you for including that in | 00:24:57 | |
| this budget. | 00:25:01 | |
| Well, me personally, I appreciate you guys putting that together and and and our our folks do need that. It's it's pretty tough | 00:25:05 | |
| right now. So thank you. | 00:25:08 | |
| Moving on, #3 regular agenda items, Ma'am. Information, discussion, action. | 00:25:14 | |
| To approve the preparation of budgeted and inter fund transfers for FY23 Mayor. | 00:25:19 | |
| Good morning, Mr. Chair. Supervisors, back in January you gave us the approval to go ahead and get started working on. | 00:25:26 | |
| Interfund transfers and budgetary transfers for what is known as the LA TCF funding. That's Local area and tribal consistency | 00:25:34 | |
| funds. | 00:25:38 | |
| We've gotten several rounds of guidance from our CPA's and auditors and external experts and that information is finally complete | 00:25:43 | |
| and done. And we wanted to bring this back to you today to let you know that that was done for the end of the fiscal year and any | 00:25:50 | |
| other transfers that needed to get done are made and. | 00:25:57 | |
| Everything went really well and we had really good guidance from Mr. Manlove and from our partners at Heinz Field Meet. | 00:26:05 | |
| To make sure that we are in compliance. | 00:26:11 | |
| And with how that LTCF funding was handled? | 00:26:14 | |
| And make sure that everything is. | 00:26:17 | |
| Documented the way the auditors will want to see it. | 00:26:21 | |
| Baron, thank you. Supervisor Humphrey, questions or comments? | 00:26:24 | |
| Mr. Chair, no questions. Supervisor Christian, no questions. So a question I would have for you James, is that six million well. | 00:26:28 | |
| Let's see now it's $12 million, right, if we got the other 6 million in or we just? | 00:26:36 | |
| Dealing with the 1st. | 00:26:41 | |
| I think the last comes before the end of end of September, OK. So it's still yet to to show up. | 00:26:44 | |
| So somewhere along the way, are we gonna have a work session or something to show how, show the thoughts and whatever we need to | 00:26:51 | |
| do to to spend this money? | 00:26:55 | |
| Yes, Sir, absolutely. Yes. | 00:27:01 | |
| I will work with Michael O'Driscoll to get on a work session agenda and get that in front of you. Thank you. I know Michael's got | 00:27:04 | |
| plenty of time to do that too, man. So. | 00:27:09 | |
| Do you want the like the 18 hour version or do you want like the? | 00:27:13 | |
| Before lunch version. | 00:27:18 | |
| Down deep and get it all handled OK. | 00:27:20 | |
| You will be full blown auditors by the time we're done. | 00:27:23 | |
| That's what Supervisor Humphreys really looking forward to. | 00:27:27 | |
| Miss Chevron will also include in that the reconciliation of the original offer money, the 10 and a half million we got for the 10 | 00:27:31 | |
| and a half million plus. | 00:27:35 | |
| What we're. | 00:27:40 | |
| Have spent for the 12 million. | 00:27:41 | |
| LACTFORLATCF and. | 00:27:44 | |
| And get your ideas and thoughts of going forward. | 00:27:48 | |
| And just so everybody knows that LTCF funds are basically a. | 00:27:52 | |
| Uh. | 00:27:58 | |
| Strengthen PILT version of money that comes from the feds. | 00:28:00 | |
| Because we have so much in the way of public lands that we help administer. | 00:28:04 | |
| That we don't receive taxes from. | 00:28:09 | |
| And believe it or not, there's a lot of folks up. | 00:28:12 | |
| Around not only in our county, but other counties that do not realize that money's out there. | 00:28:15 | |
| And so. | 00:28:21 | |
| So I I don't know. I'm always trying to explain that you know that hey, you know we only get 3% off of our our lands because so | 00:28:22 | |
| much of it's. | 00:28:27 | |
| Public lands. | 00:28:32 | |
| But with this money, it does help it it it really does help a lot. So it was really grateful to get that. | 00:28:33 | |
| Alright, thank you guys. So with that, I didn't know we're good. We're on the motion on that. We're good to go. | 00:28:40 | |
| Thank you man. Alright. | 00:28:48 | |
| Or did we? | 00:28:50 | |

| constituent funds. | 00:30:00 | |
| And it's to support literacy. | 00:30:06 | |
| Any questions? | 00:30:10 | |
| I have no question. | 00:30:12 | |
| OK. | 00:30:13 | |
| So so the group they had like hold sessions or specially advanced for if in fact this is kind of postmortem because they. | 00:30:14 | |
| Just had the book festival this last weekend when it yeah, Saturday, but they didn't get their request in soon enough to get it | 00:30:23 | |
| through the board and so yeah, they have, it's like a fair and I think it's out of the casino. Is that right And. | 00:30:30 | |
| Ohh, Elaine, come on up and fill us in a little bit more on that. Thanks. | 00:30:40 | |
| I I was just curious because it sounded really interesting to me. So. | 00:30:44 | |
| So what is the 8 years that they've had that it was on Saturday at Casino in Payson? | 00:30:48 | |
| Um, we had. | 00:30:54 | |
| Approximately 550 people come in, so they have over 60 authors come in. A lot of them are local authors. I was on the authors. | 00:30:55 | |
| Initially we also included local artists. | 00:31:03 | |
| So we had a room with the artists showing their wares and all kinds of different things, not just paintings, but other other types | 00:31:07 | |
| of art. And we also have the Kids Zone, which the library district is in charge of. | 00:31:13 | |
| And we do story times and we do STEM projects, and this year we have Miss Susie come in and do 2 puppet shows for us. So it's kind | 00:31:20 | |
| of all inclusive. We're trying to do literacy, starting from the little guys all the way up. | 00:31:25 | |
| Um, and it has been very successful and they continue to do it. | 00:31:31 | |
| Cool. Good. Good to know. | 00:31:36 | |
| Thank you. Thank you for being a part of and thank you for supporting us. Yeah. Thank you with that. | 00:31:39 | |
| From this you have something else. I didn't talk motion. | 00:31:44 | |
| OK, I'll move to approve Economic Development Agreement number 062823 as presented. | 00:31:46 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 00:31:53 | |
| Chairman, We need a benefit of the public. | 00:31:56 | |
| OK. | 00:31:59 | |
| I, Mr. Chairman, I'll move to approve Economic Development Agreement number 062823. | 00:32:00 | |
| As presented with, the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. | 00:32:07 | |
| Thank you. | 00:32:13 | |
| 2nd that having a motion and second all in favor do so by saying aye aye. | 00:32:15 | |
| Aye. | 00:32:19 | |

| Passed unanimously. | 00:32:29 | |
| OK. | 00:32:31 | |
| On to the next one. See. | 00:32:32 | |
| The information discussion action. | 00:32:36 | |
| To approve Economic Development Grant or Economic Development Agreement number 062723. | 00:32:38 | |
| Between Hillary County and the Present Value Veterans Retreat, incorporated in the amount of 11,920 dollars. | 00:32:46 | |
| To provide the recruitment of veterans and their families and to perform marketing and fundraising, please which the which the | 00:32:53 | |
| Board has determined to be for the band of the public that ones mine. | 00:32:59 | |
| This is a little bit of. | 00:33:06 | |
| Off breed of money, I guess you may say too. So I wanted to explain that a little bit. This $11,920 was actually raised from the | 00:33:08 | |
| site and during for their yard sales. | 00:33:14 | |
| Is what that was and and at the time. | 00:33:20 | |
| You know, without money, the nonprofits didn't have any place to put it, so it ended up coming to the county to be put into the | 00:33:22 | |
| county. So this is actually. | 00:33:27 | |
| Money that isn't part of. | 00:33:31 | |
| General funds or anything else, It's actually money. | 00:33:34 | |
| That was raised from that site. So with that, I'd entertain any questions or comments, Tim. | 00:33:37 | |
| I have no questions. Supervisor Humphrey or Christensen? No. Thank you. You're good. | 00:33:43 | |
| OK, so with that I entertain a motion. | 00:33:48 | |
| Mr. Chair, I moved to approve Economic Development grant number 062723. | 00:33:53 | |
| As presented in, the board has determined to be for the benefit of the. | 00:33:59 | |
| I will second. | 00:34:04 | |

| He's been taking care of and maintaining of like a family ballpark there for quite a number of years. | 00:34:47 | |
| I've known Wilbur a long, long time. | 00:34:54 | |
| And it's really cool what he's doing out there. He's fixed it up and we've helped him with it. He's got Resolution Copper helping | 00:34:56 | |
| him. | 00:34:59 | |
| And others as well. They have events and everything else there. It's really. | 00:35:02 | |
| Really cool setup right there, so. | 00:35:07 | |
| I would entertain any questions on that Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:35:09 | |
| I have no questions. Supervisor Christensen, thank you. No questions. Was that entertain a motion? | 00:35:14 | |
| Mr. Chairman, I'll move to approve Economic Development Agreement number 062923. | 00:35:20 | |
| As presented and which the board of. | 00:35:26 | |
| Supervisors had determined to be for the benefit of the public. | 00:35:28 | |
| I will second that having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, motion carries. | 00:35:32 | |
| Want to E? | 00:35:40 | |
| Information, Discussion, Action. | 00:35:42 | |
| To improve economic development. | 00:35:45 | |
| Agreement number 063023 between Hilla County. | 00:35:47 | |
| And Veterans of Foreign Wars, Louis E. | 00:35:52 | |
| Hidden I I thought I was thinking. | 00:35:58 | |
| Post. | 00:36:00 | |
| 1704 in the amount of $10,000. | 00:36:02 | |
| To repair and replace the roof on Louie Higdon post 1704, which the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. | 00:36:06 | |
| And so this is mine as well. And that's the the post right here in in Globe. These folks came to us a while back. It's been a | 00:36:17 | |
| while back. | 00:36:21 | |
| And Veterans of Foreign Wars, and we've had this discussion before. | 00:36:25 | |
| You know and I and I know that the legal side of it, and there's things we we address and we we fix. | 00:36:31 | |
| You know, it's always been my thoughts. If it hadn't been for those, people would be seeking a foreign language and wouldn't be | 00:36:38 | |
| worrying about about this right now, so. | 00:36:41 | |
| But they've got roof issues on this building and they actually need more money than the $10,000 to fix this building. | 00:36:46 | |
| I think they're actually mean like 20,000. | 00:36:55 | |
| But they're wanting to try and get started, start trying to leverage money to try and put this all together to fix. | 00:36:58 | |
| And so that's why we're here today. So I didn't. I would try the entertaining questions, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:37:05 | |
| Well-being you opened that I have questions and my questions are is another gentleman from the same post. | 00:37:12 | |
| Has also contacted me. | 00:37:21 | |
| And let me know that they had trouble. | 00:37:23 | |
| With their roof. | 00:37:26 | |
| And they do fundraisers and they do for the public, but the part of the building that they do that. | 00:37:28 | |
| There are correct extracurricular activities and things for the public. | 00:37:33 | |
| Is where the roof is leaking, so it prevents them. | 00:37:37 | |
| From doing things for the public. | 00:37:40 | |
| For fundraisers. | 00:37:43 | |
| And so when they approached me, I asked them to get bids. | 00:37:45 | |
| So that I would know. | 00:37:50 | |
| What they needed. | 00:37:53 | |
| And I would try to help. | 00:37:54 | |
| And and so from from where I'm at is, is it seems that. | 00:37:57 | |
| That this is a is is. | 00:38:05 | |
| Is in front of us to vote on. | 00:38:08 | |
| But I don't understand in it and if it's only half of what the roof cost is. | 00:38:10 | |
| Then then I'm wondering, you know what? What are they gonna do for their other half a roof? | 00:38:17 | |
| And so if if that amount. | 00:38:23 | |
| Is half the roof. | 00:38:27 | |
| I don't know if we could change. | 00:38:30 | |
| This. | 00:38:33 | |
| As it is on the agenda. | 00:38:36 | |
| But I would be willing to work out of my constituents. | 00:38:39 | |
| To help your constituent funds. | 00:38:44 | |
| To help them. | 00:38:47 | |
| Get their whole roof fixed. | 00:38:49 | |
| And so that's the question that I would have. | 00:38:51 | |
| Because I would, I would you know, I mean if if if they did get bit, I haven't seen a bit. | 00:38:55 | |
| And so I don't know if the bid has been presented to you or not for the amount of the roof but it was not presented to me and and | 00:39:02 | |
| we everybody knows we can't talk to, nobody knows until we're sitting here in the public and opening cans of worms. But but anyway | 00:39:08 | |
| I would, I would be willing to. | 00:39:14 | |
| To work with that with my constituent funds. | 00:39:20 | |
| To help. | 00:39:24 | |
| You help them to complete their roof. | 00:39:25 | |
| But like I said, I don't. | 00:39:29 | |
| I I have just been asked by one of the Members. | 00:39:31 | |
| And I asked him to get me a bid and he has not gotten back to me at this point so I don't know if they have other donors. I I | 00:39:35 | |
| don't I don't know I I fully support this sure. I I'm I'm just trying to help in any way I can and not you know not to not to push | 00:39:42 | |
| anything out or or whatever I'm I'm just trying to be sure that that that they get. | 00:39:50 | |
| What they need to to continue and to be able to function. | 00:39:58 | |
| To help themselves. | 00:40:03 | |
| Can we work with the agenda item like that, Chairman? Yes. So in the request letter, it does indicate that they did receive two | 00:40:06 | |
| bids from True Built Roofing and Monarch Roofing Systems. It said that it was attached to the request letter. I'm not seeing that | 00:40:13 | |
| it was uploaded or an amount in there indicating how much it cost. | 00:40:20 | |
| So. | 00:40:29 | |
| Almost. | 00:40:32 | |
| About $20,000 is but we can we can upload that those bids for that. | 00:40:33 | |
| Yes, chairman and member supervisors, you do have the ability to modify the motion to add more monies to it if you have | 00:40:39 | |
| constituent funds available. So is this something let me let me ask you supervisor, Christians and do you want to be a part of | 00:40:45 | |
| this? | 00:40:50 | |
| I hate to put you on the spot, but I'm going. | 00:41:00 | |
| Yes, I would like to share it. | 00:41:04 | |
| So this let's let's turn it into thirds. | 00:41:06 | |
| Or anyone from the public or on YouTube. Come on if you can help too. | 00:41:10 | |
| Right. | 00:41:16 | |
| Hit hits, you know. | 00:41:19 | |
| Ohh, so work with with that with thirds and then cut it down for all veterans of foreign wars. I mean it's it's. | 00:41:26 | |
| Like I say that. | 00:41:35 | |
| It it's a beautiful bunch of people that are trying to do things for the community and they're building is. | 00:41:36 | |
| Is is preventing them from doing that? | 00:41:41 | |
| And and so if we can help them do more for the public and to have functions in their facility, then yeah, it'll give back to the | 00:41:44 | |
| community in in my opinion. | 00:41:49 | |
| Mr. Chairman, can I suggest we each give 6000, which would be an $18,000. | 00:41:55 | |
| Umm. | 00:42:02 | |
| Amount. | 00:42:03 | |
| We just split up equally three ways, whatever come 6000 somewhere though I think we are, I think we are split the bid up. | 00:42:04 | |
| Three ways, yeah, Because if they're 2000 short, then we're gonna have to have a lemonade stand or something. | 00:42:10 | |
| These other $2000, I think Kathy just stepped out to get them for six. Well 65 is you know not gonna put anybody else out. I know | 00:42:16 | |
| my. | 00:42:20 | |
| To work with an agenda item like that, but. | 00:42:26 | |
| Yeah, absolutely. The agenda item is to approve an economic development grant. The board has a discussion to decide what that | 00:42:29 | |
| amount would be and how you're gonna allocate funds for it. Ohh, I'd have to. | 00:42:34 | |
| Going. | 00:42:42 | |
| 7. | 00:42:50 | |
| Meeting. | 00:42:54 | |
| Chairman, Board of Supervisors. The low bid is $21,450 and that is from True Built Roofing. | 00:43:05 | |
| OK. | 00:43:13 | |
| 450 correct. | 00:43:15 | |
| Supervisors are to entertain a motion on that. | 00:43:18 | |
| You want me to do it? | 00:43:23 | |
| I'm good. | 00:43:25 | |
| Go ahead and any amount of goodness. | 00:43:26 | |
| 21,450. A third of that would be 7150. | 00:43:29 | |
| OK, Mr. Chair. | 00:43:37 | |
| I move to approve. | 00:43:39 | |
| Economic Development Agreement number 063023. | 00:43:41 | |
| As presented. | 00:43:46 | |
| With the amount. | 00:43:50 | |
| Uh, coming from each individual supervisor? Supervisor Christian? | 00:43:53 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. | 00:43:59 | |

| Putting in 7100. | 00:44:04 | |
| And $50.00 to make the total. | 00:44:07 | |
| Amount. | 00:44:10 | |
| $21,450. | 00:44:12 | |
| To be. | 00:44:15 | |
| Which two board? | 00:44:16 | |
| To which the board has determined to be to the benefit of the public. I will second that having a motion. And second, all in favor | 00:44:19 | |
| diesel, by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. | 00:44:24 | |
| Motion carries. Woohoo. Good. I'm glad we could do that for for that post. That's that's really good. Thank you. All right. Moving | 00:44:29 | |
| on to #4 consent agenda action items. Do either one of you have anything we need to address? | 00:44:37 | |
| Separately. | 00:44:46 | |
| Mr. Chair, I don't care to pull anything. Supervision, I'm good. | 00:44:48 | |
| And I'm good as well, so I didn't gain a motion. | 00:44:52 | |
| To accept those, Mr. Chair moved to approve approve the consent agenda, Item 4A through 4G. | 00:44:55 | |
| I'll second that having a motion in a second. All in favor, do stop by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. | 00:45:02 | |
| Called to the public patient. Do we have any calls with the public? | 00:45:09 | |
| No, Sir. | 00:45:13 | |
| And how's YouTube doing? | 00:45:14 | |
| No comments, huh? | 00:45:19 | |
| And we don't have anyone here, so. | 00:45:21 | |
| Close that and go into number six for our updates. James, do you have some updates? | 00:45:24 | |
| Yes, Mr. Chair Chairman, Speaking of roofs I was. | 00:45:30 | |
| Passing through town and knew that we were getting close, but notice that the roof on the Michaelson building. | 00:45:34 | |
| Has been taken off, completely removed. | 00:45:40 | |
| And so we are proceeding forward with getting that roof replaced on Michaelson building. | 00:45:43 | |
| And then of course, City of Globe has partnered with the with the county. | 00:45:49 | |
| And had gotten congressionally directed spending of $750,000 to remodel the interior of the building. So we get the roof replaced | 00:45:54 | |
| in process. Now which? | 00:45:59 | |
| I. | 00:46:04 | |
| Was thrilled to see Saturday night. | 00:46:06 | |
| And then moving forward on this course, Michaelson Building and intended purposes a business incubator. | 00:46:08 | |
| It will have such. | 00:46:15 | |
| President says a resolution will as indicated, they'll take an office. I'm speaking to Joe Heatherly on. | 00:46:16 | |
| On. | 00:46:23 | |
| Saturday. | 00:46:26 | |
| And he is the on the ID, a board that I was talking to Joe Henley about the ID a Industrial Development Authority of Heeler County | 00:46:28 | |
| having the president's in that building and he was excited about that, so. | 00:46:34 | |
| Really thrilled to report that we are finally. | 00:46:42 | |
| Moving forward on Microsoft building and that's going to come to pass. Cool. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No wonder it rained last | 00:46:45 | |
| night. Ohh. Huh. | 00:46:48 | |
| No, No roof on it. Good. Whatever it takes. Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:46:53 | |
| Yeah, that that was coming. I was gonna make cause I had a wheelbarrow with six inches of water in the morning. So I hope they | 00:46:58 | |
| hurry with that roof or it might take more remodeling on the inside. Anyway, attended the soft opening of the veteran center from | 00:47:03 | |
| Young. | 00:47:08 | |
| On Saturday and and my hats off to you. | 00:47:13 | |
| The facility has come a long, long ways. | 00:47:16 | |
| And it it's been a fight every step of the way, but it was well attended by some great people that were all part of the function. | 00:47:22 | |
| And so it was a it was great to be there and and see that come together as it did so. | 00:47:29 | |
| And and that's all I have. | 00:47:36 | |
| Supervisor Christensen. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, first thing I'll start with is. | 00:47:39 | |
| The Human County Community College. | 00:47:44 | |
| Which has a campus in Payson and also here. So the Board of Supervisors formed a. | 00:47:47 | |
| An Advisory Board. | 00:47:53 | |
| And we met for the first time last week. | 00:47:55 | |
| Umm. | 00:47:59 | |
| The advisory boards main function. | 00:48:01 | |
| Was to advise on how to become independent. | 00:48:04 | |
| And perhaps accredited. And so there has been, however. | 00:48:10 | |
| A real breakdown in. | 00:48:16 | |
| The. | 00:48:20 | |
| Association between EAC? | 00:48:21 | |
| And Health Community College Board. | 00:48:24 | |
| EAC currently has the posture that they're not going to be accepting. | 00:48:29 | |
| New students. | 00:48:33 | |
| This fall, which starts in about 3 weeks. | 00:48:35 | |
| So um. | 00:48:39 | |
| I've been given the task to contact EAC and see whether or not we can. | 00:48:42 | |
| Negotiate some kind of a. | 00:48:49 | |
| Truth in that so that we can at least have classes. | 00:48:54 | |
| With the idea in mind that we would. | 00:48:58 | |
| Be considering the needs of the student rather than. | 00:49:02 | |
| The various personalities that may not be getting along at the moment so. | 00:49:07 | |
| Consider that. | 00:49:12 | |
| If anyone has any helpful advice that will take it. | 00:49:14 | |
| So I was on the radio, came with yesterday, really went well. | 00:49:18 | |
| And so it always does so. | 00:49:23 | |
| And do that once a month, which people really appreciate. And then of course, I was also in attendance to the Veterans Retreat in | 00:49:25 | |
| Young and it's awesome what's going on out there. They can't praise it enough. I think there's been a lot of teamwork involved | 00:49:33 | |
| with that, with some leaders in that process that have just done exceptional. | 00:49:40 | |
| So I think that facility will make us proud for decades to come and will really serve. | 00:49:48 | |
| Our veteran community and so I'm very happy about that. | 00:49:55 | |
| That's all I have. Thank you. | 00:49:58 | |
| Mr. Chairman, Yeah, I'll make a comment on the Please do college. | 00:50:00 | |
| There is an open area. | 00:50:05 | |
| We call it town hall meeting. | 00:50:09 | |
| Next week. | 00:50:11 | |
| Tuesday night in Globe. | 00:50:13 | |
| At 5:30 I believe the two in the high school. I can get the details of the location and stuff at 5:30 at town hall to discuss the | 00:50:15 | |
| situation that. | 00:50:19 | |
| Heliconia. | 00:50:24 | |
| Provisional Community College district is in and have a discussion with the public so that ones Tuesday night here in Globe | 00:50:26 | |
| Thursday night the same. | 00:50:30 | |
| And pay some. | 00:50:34 | |
| I believe at peace in high school, but I'll make sure we get the details for that, yeah, please to share. | 00:50:35 | |
| The town halls. | 00:50:41 | |
| Tuesday and Thursday next week and who will be present as far as board members on both sides? | 00:50:43 | |
| So you're the Community College board will be there. OK, alright with president. | 00:50:52 | |
| For certain. | 00:50:57 | |
| And I don't know the details of who else would be in attendance. OK, thank you. But it's to have an open discussion. | 00:50:59 | |
| From the community. | 00:51:05 | |
| The. | 00:51:08 | |
| Thank you, James. I think that one's gonna have lots of discussions on it before it's said and done. | 00:51:10 | |
| And. | 00:51:16 | |
| Unfortunately. And then we have a lot of people hanging out there wondering what's gonna happen. | 00:51:17 | |
| Right now, so. | 00:51:21 | |
| OK, I guess not to me. | 00:51:24 | |
| Last Wednesday, me and Kathy went up here and Carol went with us to and we went up on top of Pioneer Pass and. | 00:51:28 | |
| And visited the YC crew that's working for the. | 00:51:36 | |
| The Globe Ranger District. | 00:51:40 | |
| Visited with all them, really good bunch of kids. I had a great time this summer. | 00:51:42 | |
| And look forward and hoping that we can do it again next year and. | 00:51:47 | |
| In the leaders and everybody was real happy by the, you know, the way it went and then the projects they all accomplished. | 00:51:52 | |
| That that crew worked out a globe, but they also worked. | 00:51:59 | |
| I believe a week on the Patient Ranger District. | 00:52:03 | |
| A week on the tunnel basin. | 00:52:07 | |
| Maybe more than a week on Tunnel Basin, Ranger District and the rest time, here we go. | 00:52:09 | |
| So they were able to move around and see some different places and. | 00:52:13 | |
| And different projects and really enjoyed that. | 00:52:17 | |
| I had a meeting last Thursday at the Butcher Hook on the NRCD district, the tunnel NRCD district. | 00:52:20 | |
| We're we're working really hard right now to put together a grant. | 00:52:27 | |
| For an invasive grass called yellow blue stem. | 00:52:32 | |
| And that has to go in the end of this month and then we'll see about the end of the year, you know if we're awarded the grant or | 00:52:35 | |
| not. | 00:52:39 | |
| It'll be a grant to treat about 200 acres of it, which is just a small drop in the bucket. | 00:52:43 | |
| For the issue that we have, but we're working hard on that. | 00:52:48 | |
| Yesterday I attended the Ranching, Wildlife and Sportsmen's meeting and. | 00:52:52 | |
| Phoenix North Phoenix at the Game of Fish office. | 00:52:59 | |
| And carefree highway. | 00:53:02 | |
| This was a group of us that was put together by outgoing Commission member Bill Break. | 00:53:03 | |
| And what he did is? He asked. | 00:53:10 | |
| I think there's five of us on the on the board from different parts to come together as a group to help with any issues between | 00:53:12 | |
| sportsmen's ranchers. | 00:53:17 | |
| Hunters, things like that, And it's been a really good meeting, one of the top. | 00:53:23 | |
| Issues that that is out there and has been for a while or the OHP issues. | 00:53:27 | |
| That's still. | 00:53:32 | |
| There. | 00:53:33 | |
| A lot of it is just a matter of enforcing it. | 00:53:35 | |
| For enforcing the laws. | 00:53:38 | |
| And all that comes about. | 00:53:40 | |
| But you know, money, that's what it takes to do it. And so that's. | 00:53:42 | |
| That's a big topic of this discussion right now. | 00:53:45 | |
| And probably will continue to be for a while. | 00:53:49 | |
| They have some water issues around the CAP canal down there that's been going on, which I believe that is probably a part of the | 00:53:52 | |
| overall water issues in Arizona. | 00:53:58 | |
| Which Craig Sullivan is on the water policy part of that? | 00:54:04 | |
| And so we'll see where where that. | 00:54:08 | |
| Turns along that as well. | 00:54:10 | |
| The other question was asked on me. | 00:54:13 | |
| Where we were with the 203 The Bertry Saddle Rd. | 00:54:17 | |
| I haven't heard a word from it and I don't. | 00:54:20 | |
| The last I knew Game and Fish was kind of getting pulled out of that. | 00:54:24 | |
| Litigation part. | 00:54:29 | |
| They still in? | 00:54:31 | |
| Yes. Remember supervisors, we have the retainer agreement with our council, so we would be moving forward with game and fishes | 00:54:33 | |
| participation right on. They're still in the mix, yes, correct. OK. So maybe sometime I'll get with you on some more. | 00:54:40 | |
| Whatever it is. Thank you. | 00:54:49 | |
| And so, So we'll see where that goes. | 00:54:51 | |
| So these are the kind of issues that this group that we've tackled with this group and. | 00:54:54 | |
| Some of them were pretty big issues. Um, Tomorrow I'm pulling out in the morning, I'll be going to DC. | 00:55:01 | |
| I got it. I'm gonna get into DC tomorrow and then on Thursday at 9:00 o'clock DC time all testified to the. | 00:55:08 | |
| Subcommittee House of Natural Resource Committee on Federal Lands the veterans site. | 00:55:16 | |
| On conveying the veteran site. | 00:55:23 | |
| Congressman Crane is putting that up. He'll be there and get that started. And so hopefully that goes good. | 00:55:25 | |
| And we can get it through the house side of it. | 00:55:31 | |
| From what I understand is the Senate side is already marking it up. | 00:55:34 | |
| On that. So it'll be coming up on the Senate side sometime fairly soon, I believe. | 00:55:40 | |
| And um. | 00:55:45 | |
| Hopefully we'll get that done. | 00:55:46 | |
| That'd be really, really cool to get that conveyed and done so. | 00:55:48 | |
| We'll just see where it goes from there. Did you have something you want just just two seconds. I I was just gonna say, you know | 00:55:54 | |
| sometimes a picture is worth 1000 words and Razor's Edge is been there and did some video if they could just put maybe something | 00:56:00 | |
| short together. | 00:56:05 | |
| For you to show them would would. | 00:56:10 | |
| Would be. | 00:56:15 | |
| So, so there's a long list of what you have to do to prepare for this. And so we got it in and went in this morning. | 00:56:16 | |
| And I believe it came out like 3 or 4 pages of written testimony. | 00:56:23 | |
| Just kind of a. | 00:56:28 | |
| It had to become a broad. | 00:56:30 | |
| Way that this project went I mean if we went in there every detail they they they wouldn't read it but you know but but it did | 00:56:33 | |
| cover well and a lot of that was was from. | 00:56:38 | |
| Cameron ohh going to do as well Kathy had been keeping a lot of good records. We have in there the. | 00:56:44 | |
| The support from. | 00:56:50 | |
| From the House and the Senate side and the different representatives and senators that has helped us. | 00:56:52 | |
| Especially to show that it's a cross party lines, there's nothing. | 00:56:58 | |
| Bipartisan you know, there's no, there's no, there's no games being played with this. Everybody seems to be for it. So we we | 00:57:02 | |
| showed all that. | 00:57:06 | |
| Which showed the support in the state. | 00:57:10 | |
| From all the 15 counties supporting this project through the resolution that came out of CSA. | 00:57:13 | |
| We have in there Representative Marshalls, Bill, showing the amount of money that he's putting into this project as well. | 00:57:19 | |
| So I think when it as far as. | 00:57:27 | |
| Being able to prove that it's a well supported project, I think we we've got it I. | 00:57:30 | |
| I I just can't think of anything else to throw in there that would excellent be there, but. | 00:57:35 | |
| And I only have 5 minutes. Yeah, that's your thing. So anyway, yeah. | 00:57:42 | |
| It is. | 00:57:49 | |
| Yeah. | 00:57:51 | |
| But. | 00:57:52 | |
| I'm happy to go testify. I really appreciate Congressman Crane. And for inviting me to do that, I think it's. | 00:57:53 | |
| They'll be a good deal and if we can get it through the house side, get it through the tenant side, they'll be well on its way so. | 00:58:00 | |
| And that's what we all are looking forward to. I know it's not, it's not that the Forest Service has been a bad partner or | 00:58:07 | |
| anything like that. It's just it would be cleaner if the county owned that. | 00:58:12 | |
| That site so. | 00:58:17 | |
| So it's good. | 00:58:19 | |
| Umm. | 00:58:20 | |
| And then shortly after that, this, that's on the 20th at 9:00 o'clock, I catch a plane from there to Austin, TX. | 00:58:23 | |
| That afternoon for Naco so. | 00:58:31 | |
| I'll be in, I'll see Kathy and Nico will be there till Monday, I think next week playing back. | 00:58:34 | |
| Other than that, we do have an update on the soft opening. I kind of wanted Kathy to give us that update. | 00:58:41 | |
| You can you do that? | 00:58:48 | |
| Overall | 00:58:49 | |
| do you need this? | 00:58:50 | |
| Figures. Maybe. | 00:58:53 | |
| On Saturday, I think we kind of estimate there was about. | 00:58:56 | |
| 100 people there and we had some pretty good representation from. | 00:58:59 | |
| Local government and state government and Federal Think Cinemas office sent someone crane's office. | 00:59:04 | |
| Kelly's office. | 00:59:11 | |
| Marshall, Representative Marshall was there, and we presented him with a really nice award that he was pretty surprised to get. | 00:59:14 | |
| As you probably noticed, the folks that were there, we had T-shirts, hats. | 00:59:21 | |
| Stickers and flags for sale. Was that it? | 00:59:25 | |
| Yeah, and in donations, we raised $738. | 00:59:28 | |
| And in sales we sold $1106.00 in. | 00:59:33 | |
| Merchandise. | 00:59:37 | |
| And yesterday I had a meeting with Kathy Davis, Cameron's wife, and she's going to host a fundraiser for us, probably in November. | 00:59:39 | |
| And. | 00:59:47 | |
| 150 tickets at $100 goal is $25,000, but if we sell 150 tickets at $100, that's 15,000 right there. But she has a lot. | 00:59:48 | |
| Planned. | 00:59:58 | |
| Or they're part of this will be like the highest cost you can have, usually when you do a fundraiser. So they'll provide the | 01:00:00 | |
| facility, they provide the staff, they provide the food. | 01:00:04 | |
| They'll gather up wine and stuff like that to serve. | 01:00:09 | |
| During the event, I can't think of everything she had that she gives, but I mean, our part monetarily is. | 01:00:14 | |
| Really zero as assist our work as the board to go out and help. | 01:00:20 | |
| Put this on. So I'm excited about that. We're starting to get some money. | 01:00:25 | |
| Then that'll be a really good fundraiser for that, for the nonprofit and. | 01:00:31 | |
| I really appreciate her and camera. I'm working on that force too that's that's a big undertaking to do that that's that's a lot | 01:00:36 | |
| of lot of work so. | 01:00:41 | |
| So I think everything as far as the site goes has come on great. I really want to thank the facility staff and all their hard | 01:00:46 | |
| work. | 01:00:50 | |
| But for this soft opening band, they were hurrying around there. | 01:00:54 | |
| From one building to another and they did an outstanding job. Everything looked good and tucked away. | 01:00:58 | |
| There's there's there's still some things that contractors are gonna do to finish up on, but our facilities people have really | 01:01:04 | |
| done a outstanding job so. | 01:01:08 | |
| I really want to thank all them on that too. | 01:01:13 | |
| And I guess you guys had a chance to tour the buildings and. | 01:01:16 | |
| Everything looks good. Any? | 01:01:21 | |
| Recommendations or. | 01:01:22 | |
| So outstanding actually very well done from what I saw before and what it is now. | 01:01:26 | |
| It's just. | 01:01:33 | |
| Night and day I wanna go over there and visit stay. | 01:01:35 | |
| I mean it's doors are always open, it's not lights are on. | 01:01:38 | |
| So. | 01:01:42 | |
| That what what you all seen up there now is kind of wrapping down, wrapping up the first stage. | 01:01:43 | |
| Of what's being done? | 01:01:49 | |
| Representative Marshall's money, the $3,000,000 is coming into the third or second stage, I guess. And so there'll be some | 01:01:52 | |
| meetings on that that will end up in front of us as a board on what's proposed or whatever Ferrari input. But I'm sure that's | 01:01:57 | |
| going to start happening pretty quick, James. | 01:02:03 | |
| I'm just gonna say that we do have two staff currently assigned to the Building Valley Veterans Retreat. | 01:02:10 | |
| A facilities person and then also an events coordinator, program manager. So it will be getting things regularly scheduled. | 01:02:16 | |
| And addition, for the fairgrounds we have a. | 01:02:24 | |
| A permanent position assigned there to schedule events and that that person is coming on board too. So we're gonna increase our | 01:02:28 | |
| activity and and putting. | 01:02:32 | |
| Some money into investing in these recreational sites that we've been developing, so that's good news as well. | 01:02:37 | |
| So you want me to go and say who's gonna go in the Pleasant Valley and get this done? | 01:02:44 | |
| So it's my daughter, Lacey. | 01:02:50 | |
| When this job flew, Lacey applied for that position, as did other people. | 01:02:52 | |
| And actually the lady that was selected beat her out. | 01:02:57 | |
| On the job. | 01:03:02 | |
| Lady. | 01:03:04 | |
| My name is Smith, Sarah Smith. I believe it was young lady came in there. The two was going to come in there to work, but due to | 01:03:05 | |
| the fact she had little kids, she couldn't. | 01:03:09 | |
| Couldn't get us a babysitter while she was working. Lacey was the next one in line for the job and I want to make that publicly | 01:03:14 | |
| because I did not pull strings to get my daughter into this position. She she got there on her own, which is really cool and I'm | 01:03:19 | |
| really proud of her to do that. | 01:03:24 | |
| And so I wanted to put that out there. | 01:03:29 | |
| James. | 01:03:33 | |
| I'll just add that we made it very clear that LACE reports to through Deputy County Manager Michael O'Driscoll and and his team | 01:03:35 | |
| and working there that. | 01:03:40 | |
| There's no. | 01:03:46 | |
| Connection As far as employment is concerned? Nope. With you as Chairman of the board. | 01:03:47 | |
| Uh, through Chairman Klein, Yep. And so it'll work out very well. She's, she's really excited for the job and I expect her to see | 01:03:52 | |
| her do good things, so. | 01:03:57 | |
| You went in questions on that? | 01:04:03 | |
| Comments. It'll come up guys, and trust me, it will come up somewhere along the way. | 01:04:06 | |
| But. | 01:04:12 | |
| I think the big thing is, is that this next stage, this $3,000,000, once there's some ideas kind of put together and whatnot, | 01:04:13 | |
| it'll come up in front of us. | 01:04:18 | |
| As a work session so we can discuss it and fill in our thoughts and. | 01:04:23 | |
| All that and then move forward with the next stage and I'm really looking forward to that as well. It's gonna really add some | 01:04:27 | |
| more. | 01:04:30 | |
| More really cool things to that side, so. | 01:04:34 | |
| I think. | 01:04:37 | |
| Yeah. | 01:04:39 | |
| I'm sorry, on the last couple of days, Thursday and Friday, just before our Saturday event, there was a lot to be done. There were | 01:04:41 | |
| bids to be made and decorated to be done and pictures to be hung and throw pillows and. | 01:04:47 | |
| All of that stuff that facilities. | 01:04:53 | |
| We didn't expect facilities to decorate, so Frank and Sherry Grice came up to help and Sam and Tyler Trimble came And on Friday | 01:04:56 | |
| night we finally staggered out of there about 10:00 o'clock after we hung those 20 some pictures in the hall and we really if they | 01:05:03 | |
| wouldn't look nearly as nice if those two couples had come up to help me. So just wanted to say thank you to them. | 01:05:11 | |
| Anyway, I think that's it. The only other thing I would say is I'm really frustrated with our furniture company, James, but I'm | 01:05:21 | |
| hoping you've got that. | 01:05:25 | |
| Somewhat. | 01:05:29 | |
| Tended to. | 01:05:30 | |
| Thank you. Do you either one of you have anything else you want to add or or anything on come up? No, no, I'm good. Thank you. OK. | 01:05:33 | |
| So with that and we don't have any executive meetings today. So wow, it's only 11:00. O'clock and I think we're done. I'll adjourn | 01:05:39 | |
| the meeting. Thank you all. | 01:05:45 |
