We got audio and all that good stuff today right on, and so we're good here.
|
00:00:34
|
|
|
We'll start with the pledge, of course, and the invocation will be led by Nick Nickel invocation when we get there. Micah, you
|
00:00:38
|
|
|
want to lead us in the pledge this morning?
|
00:00:42
|
|
|
Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
|
00:00:50
|
|
|
And to the Republic for which it stands.
|
00:00:54
|
|
|
Nation under God.
|
00:00:58
|
|
|
Invisible with liberty and justice for all.
|
00:01:00
|
|
|
Do you hear me, Father? We're thankful for this day and.
|
00:01:12
|
|
|
We're thankful for the Board of Supervisors be able to convene, and we asked them to.
|
00:01:15
|
|
|
Give them your spirit. They're able to replace decisions and discern what is best for the county.
|
00:01:20
|
|
|
And say these things and then Jesus Christ in.
|
00:01:25
|
|
|
Thank you, Nick.
|
00:01:29
|
|
|
OK. We'll start with two, a presentation. We have a presentation this morning of the.
|
00:01:36
|
|
|
2022 Annual report for the Healing County Sheriff's Office and we have this the sheriff.
|
00:01:42
|
|
|
I don't see her. And Sarah. Sarah's gonna start. I'll start off. OK. Good morning.
|
00:01:47
|
|
|
As Chairman, members of the board, and I'll be quick, I'll skim through this. That's always If you guys ever want to meet with us
|
00:01:52
|
|
|
or discuss anything more in depth, please feel free.
|
00:01:56
|
|
|
And we'll start, you know, our mission statement and our values and the letter to the citizens from the sheriff that's on the
|
00:02:04
|
|
|
next.
|
00:02:07
|
|
|
That's right.
|
00:02:11
|
|
|
And then we go into the crime statistics, which is what everyone is most.
|
00:02:12
|
|
|
You know the the information that they like to see.
|
00:02:17
|
|
|
And so we have arrests on there, broken down by felony and misdemeanors. We have the DUI arrests on there, collisions and
|
00:02:20
|
|
|
citations all broken down in their individual categories.
|
00:02:25
|
|
|
The Administration Bureau.
|
00:02:32
|
|
|
Is next. It kind of talks about everything that's under that and.
|
00:02:36
|
|
|
Looks like we have the budget summary for the entire department and the budgeted positions for the entire Sheriff's Office.
|
00:02:40
|
|
|
Next you'll see at the bottom is the total.
|
00:02:48
|
|
|
Processed records. So this comes out of the administration Bureau. So things like mug shots, background checks.
|
00:02:54
|
|
|
And the deputies report to process that are sent over to the county attorney's office, public records requests, warrants and civil
|
00:03:01
|
|
|
papers served.
|
00:03:04
|
|
|
And next you have the patrol Bureau down at the bottom. Those are the community interest crimes, so our agency assists burglaries.
|
00:03:10
|
|
|
I thought the death investigations, domestic disturbance, your DUI again. Fraud. Search and rescue missions. Sexual assault and
|
00:03:18
|
|
|
misconduct, Theft. Traffic collisions.
|
00:03:23
|
|
|
And violation of court order.
|
00:03:27
|
|
|
Next you have the detention Bureau, their budget up at the top for health and detention, and then the services that they provide
|
00:03:31
|
|
|
at the bottom.
|
00:03:36
|
|
|
The next is the task force. All of the drug seized for 2022 were the street value was right over $35 million and down at the
|
00:03:42
|
|
|
bottom is our canines and service. So for last year we had four canines.
|
00:03:50
|
|
|
And the communications unit, you have their total calls answered.
|
00:03:59
|
|
|
And there are total calls dispatched and then broken down for law, fire and medical.
|
00:04:03
|
|
|
And next, we always put this in here because we're proud to have.
|
00:04:11
|
|
|
A number of veterans that serve in the Sheriff's Office as well. So they they went and served our country and then they came back
|
00:04:14
|
|
|
and continued to serve our community.
|
00:04:18
|
|
|
A dive team and lake patrol Staffs are there.
|
00:04:25
|
|
|
And then our 22 volunteer programs, again this is something that's super important for us to highlight for you guys. We have
|
00:04:30
|
|
|
strong volunteer programs in the Sheriff's Office down at the bottom. They worked over 17,000 hours for us, which was a total
|
00:04:36
|
|
|
savings of.
|
00:04:42
|
|
|
454,000 and 371 dollars if we were to put them at what a starting starting wage for a deputy is.
|
00:04:48
|
|
|
Thank you for that.
|
00:04:56
|
|
|
Our community involvement, we've really had a couple of deputies who have really taken this. We've got SRO's in the schools and we
|
00:04:57
|
|
|
have coffee with the cop. We had bike giveaways.
|
00:05:03
|
|
|
And one of our biggest programs is the Shop with a Hero in December, which you guys as a board contribute to and we're extremely
|
00:05:09
|
|
|
grateful for that.
|
00:05:14
|
|
|
Next is all of our social media and outreach that we have for the community to get information.
|
00:05:20
|
|
|
And next is all of our contact information for each substation we have.
|
00:05:27
|
|
|
And then to get records, gel and the civil unit, our sex offender information in the past in jail.
|
00:05:32
|
|
|
And so with that, I'll take any questions that you guys have.
|
00:05:40
|
|
|
Thank you, Sarah. Supervisor Hoovering. I have no questions. Supervisor Christensen, thank you. Thank you, Sir, for the report. I
|
00:05:45
|
|
|
I noticed in the paper today is the new canine is whiskey. Yeah. So he'll be in 2023. He's becoming quite the celebrity in our
|
00:05:52
|
|
|
office. So he's making quite a few drug busts. He just got a $4 million drug bust. Yeah.
|
00:05:59
|
|
|
Yeah, So. So I'm Deputy Montijo is his handler. Yeah. So, yeah, great. Thanks.
|
00:06:07
|
|
|
Sir, how many positions do we actually have on the task force now? So we have one commander and one deputy budgeted out of the
|
00:06:13
|
|
|
Sheriff's Office and we're also able to provide some reimbursement for Glow PD to put someone on and they promoted that
|
00:06:21
|
|
|
individual. So he's no longer part of the task force right now. So currently, right now, as we said, we have two positions.
|
00:06:29
|
|
|
So.
|
00:06:40
|
|
|
Yes. We are always saying if we had more money, the amount of people we could put on there and the amount of work that we could
|
00:06:42
|
|
|
get accomplished would be substantial. I'm always amazed at the buses that are going on in the mountains, taken off the streets
|
00:06:48
|
|
|
with just a handful of people basically, and then to think what we could do with even twice that much.
|
00:06:55
|
|
|
Till with his canine. He is actually part of the patrol.
|
00:07:03
|
|
|
So he is getting these drug busts, like while he's out doing traffic stops and just doing regular calls for the Sheriff's Office.
|
00:07:07
|
|
|
And of course money is the issue, right? Absolutely. Yeah. The task force grant only gives us the amount that you guys match, the
|
00:07:14
|
|
|
25%. So with the amount that AC JC gives us and the match we're only allowed, we're only.
|
00:07:21
|
|
|
It only allows for us to fund those two positions and one for an outside agency.
|
00:07:28
|
|
|
OK. I'm not gonna give up on that one. So we'll we'll see what happens. Yeah. And just a quick note before I end. I'd like, you
|
00:07:34
|
|
|
know, my staff, I always say I get to stand up here and present it to you. There's hours and hours of staff work that goes into
|
00:07:40
|
|
|
pulling these Staffs and putting this together. I'm Deborah Williams. Our 911 coordinator puts this all together. So.
|
00:07:47
|
|
|
Well, she did a good job. Yep. So thank you very much, Sheriff. Thank you, Mr. President, for yes. Yeah, that rose the question.
|
00:07:53
|
|
|
You said with more money you could do more.
|
00:07:58
|
|
|
How are you doing with applicants wanting to be sheriffs?
|
00:08:04
|
|
|
So to be part of your crew, yeah. So actually the steps program really helped us and I I hope that we, you know, voice that a lot
|
00:08:08
|
|
|
to you guys.
|
00:08:13
|
|
|
And when we implemented that, I think it was two years ago.
|
00:08:18
|
|
|
And.
|
00:08:22
|
|
|
That really helped us. We currently, as we said today, have 4 vacancies on the patrol side.
|
00:08:23
|
|
|
So you know, that's a really good number to have. We love to be fully staffed, but four is minimal.
|
00:08:29
|
|
|
Um.
|
00:08:37
|
|
|
The problem is, is that we have to keep up with it, right? Like the word is getting out that the Sheriff's Office outside of DPS.
|
00:08:38
|
|
|
Is the best paid agency in Healey County.
|
00:08:46
|
|
|
Well then that's gonna kick in other agencies to increase theirs and then we'll slide to the bottom again. And so we just have to
|
00:08:49
|
|
|
stay on top of it. But the work that you guys have done so far and with the STEPS program and the cost of living increases has
|
00:08:55
|
|
|
really helped us to recruit on the patrol side.
|
00:09:00
|
|
|
That law enforcement as a whole is struggling.
|
00:09:07
|
|
|
So.
|
00:09:11
|
|
|
Thank you. Thank you.
|
00:09:12
|
|
|
Will keep us up on it. I mean, you guys worked hard to putting that together and I'm glad we were able to put the final touches to
|
00:09:14
|
|
|
it, but.
|
00:09:17
|
|
|
Hopefully it's slowed down that evolving door. So anyway, yeah, thank you, Sir. Appreciate it. Thank you, Sir.
|
00:09:21
|
|
|
No.
|
00:09:32
|
|
|
You're on top.
|
00:09:33
|
|
|
Enjoy it while you can, I'm sure. Thank you guys.
|
00:09:37
|
|
|
Good.
|
00:10:03
|
|
|
OK, we're back up and running, so we'll jump into public hearings #3A.
|
00:10:04
|

00:10:09

00:13:40
|
|
|
To obtain all necessary federal, state, county, and local permits.

00:13:51

all the permits.

|
|
|
Umm.

|
|

|

|
00:14:14
|
|
|
And again, we've had no opposition to this project our.
|
00:14:17
|
|
|
Support either so.
|
00:14:20
|
|
|
That I'll answer any questions you may have.
|
00:14:23
|
|
|
Thank you Andy Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:14:25
|
|
|
I I have no questions. Supervisor efficiency, thank you. I don't either thank you and neither do I. So I'll open it up for public
|
00:14:28

No, Sir, we do not.
|
00:14:40
|

Is there anything on YouTube, Joseph?
|
00:14:41
|

And I don't believe we have anyone here.
|
00:14:43
|
|
|
So I will close the public hearing and entertain a motion.
|
00:14:46
|
|

I will continue with the programming that started in January down in Hayden. One of the programs that we do is a healthy eating
|
00:16:11
|
|
|
program, which includes showing our participants how salads and smoothies can be fun, healthy and tasteful young Raspberry and
|
00:16:16
|
|
|
spinach.
|
00:16:21
|
|
|
Programming like gardening, teaching how to choose what plants, how and where to plant them, and how to use them after you've
|
00:16:28
|
|
|
harvested them. And we've also included composting in the program. We have programs on healthy exercise, including yoga, chair
|
00:16:34
|
|
|
yoga with weights.
|
00:16:39
|
|
|
And Zumba for both adults and kids.
|
00:16:44
|
|
|
We've been able to purchase football, soccer balls, Cornville games, sidewalk chalk and other outdoor activities for everyone to
|
00:16:47
|
|
|
enjoy on the library lawns.
|
00:16:51
|
|
|
And if you're not aware of, the Hayden Library actually has this beautiful lawn out in front. So the kids come in and get.
|
00:16:55
|
|
|
These activities that they want to do and they go out and they play and they bring them back into the library. So our hope is to
|
00:17:01
|
|
|
add to that collection of activities for those kiddos for this fall.
|
00:17:05
|
|
|
As a result of the grant, we have and will continue to add to our collection.
|
00:17:10
|
|
|
Um, for books of all ages and DVD's to continue this healthy living and good living information.
|
00:17:14
|
|
|
The Library District recommends that the Directors approve the application and acceptance of this vital grant to be used for the
|
00:17:20
|
|
|
Hayden Lane Group.
|
00:17:23

Onto E Information Discussion action to approve Amendment #3.
|
00:24:11
|
|
|
To an intergovernmental agreement contract number Ctr. 055209, with the Arizona Department of Health Services.

To enhance current public health emergency preparedness activities July 1st, 23 through June 30th, 24th. Good morning, Carl.
|
00:24:29
|
|
|
Morning, Chairman and members of the board. Pretty straightforward one for you today. This is an amendment to the third amendment
|
00:24:38
|
|
|
to the Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant IGA.
|
00:24:42
|
|
|
That's the program that funds our public health emergency preparedness program. It's a grant for $204,000.
|
00:24:47
|
|
|
That has a 10% cost match, which we're able to meet with in kind services with the money that we pay for our notification system.
|
00:24:55
|
|
|
So no money out of pocket for the county.
|
00:25:00
|
|
|
This program is recently placed under my purview. I've looked over this amendment as soon as there's a few terminology changes.
|
00:25:07
|
|
|
Nothing significant.
|
00:25:10
|
|
|
Thank you, Carl. Question Supervisor Humphrey, no question, no Supervisor Christensen. Thank you and no questions. Thank you all.
|
00:25:15
|
|
|
Question for you, Carl. We can't let you get off that C so you're talking about enhancing your your preparedness activities and
|
00:25:20
|
|
|
stuff. What, what kind of ideas do you have for that? So my first couple of ideas, one of the focuses of both Emergency Management
|
00:25:26
|
|
|
and public health emergency preparedness on the federal level since both of those programs are pretty parallel is addressing
|
00:25:32
|
|
|
extreme climate.
|
00:25:38
|
|
|
So I'm looking at addressing and mitigating some of the issues, especially with our at risk communities during the extreme cold
|
00:25:44
|
|
|
and extreme heat. I'm looking into some options such as purchasing.
|
00:25:49
|
|
|
Cooling towels or or blankets that we can give out to people that are in need.
|
00:25:55
|
|
|
That public health emergency preparedness is very similar to Emergency Management with a focus on health more than safety. So that
|
00:26:00
|
|
|
kind of opens some doors for us to to get a little more in depth with the services that we're providing.
|
00:26:06
|
|
|
OK. Thank you, Carl. With that and entertain a motion.
|
00:26:13
|
|
|
Mr. I moved to approve Amendment #3 to the Arizona Department of Health.
|
00:26:16
|
|
|
Services Intergovernment Agreement Contract number C TR 055209.
|
00:26:22
|
|
|
In the amount of $240,367.
|
00:26:28
|
|
|
I will second that.
|
00:26:34
|
|
|
Having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you, Carl. Thank you.
|
00:26:35
|
|
|
Now the next item F.
|
00:26:42
|
|
|
I don't believe we need to address it. You're saying we won't go ahead and table this, correct, Michael. Correct, Chairman.
|
00:26:46
|
|
|
If it pleases you, I'd I'd like to table this issue at this time until I get some further information from our finance team.
|
00:26:53
|
|
|
OK.
|
00:27:00
|
|
|
So I would need a motion to table item math.
|
00:27:01
|
|
|
Mr. Chair I.
|
00:27:04
|
|
|
Make a motion to table item.
|
00:27:06
|
|
|
4F at this time.
|
00:27:08
|
|
|
Mr. Chair, I'll second that.
|
00:27:11
|
|
|
Having a motion in a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you, Michael.

Auntie G Information Discussion Action to adopt Public Works Department Policy Number.

00:27:19
|
|
|
PW-17 Dash Public Works Equipment Operator Requirements and progression.
|
00:27:25
|
|
|
Homer, good morning, Sir.
|
00:27:32
|
|
|
Good morning, Chairman and board members.
|
00:27:34
|
|
|
This item is about trying to bring employees into public works, train them and allow them to progress from operator to senior
|
00:27:37
|
|
|
operator. And that's what we're going to share with you via couple of slides in here.
|
00:27:43
|
|
|
1st next slide please.
|
00:27:51
|
|
|
Umm.
|
00:27:55
|
|
|
And if you would like I could.
|
00:28:01
|
|
|
So currently as as you know the road crews and landfills are short or short staffed on.
|
00:28:09
|
|
|
Equipment operators and we're not receiving.
|
00:28:15
|
|
|
Uh, sufficient application for us to determine our qualified candidates.
|
00:28:18
|
|
|
Today at Star Valley, for instance, we have 7 vacancies.
|
00:28:23
|
|
|
Out of about 10 positions that are available.
|
00:28:27
|
|
|
Uh.
|
00:28:30
|
|
|
In the new and on top of that, the new federal commercial drivers license requirements have have changed.
|
00:28:31
|
|
|
And they require some certification of both classroom training and behind the wheel training.
|
00:28:37
|
|
|
And we'll talk about that a little bit more in the future Slight.
|
00:28:46
|
|
|
So we have revised the job descriptions and we create.
|
00:28:50
|
|
|
We've created the equipment operators, I actually we're using the same job description for.
|
00:28:53
|
|
|
Our Rd. Yards and Landfill and.
|
00:28:59
|
|
|
We also created a new job description for our training, or an apprenticeship apprentice if you want to call them that. This
|
00:29:01
|
|
|
position has been created. We have received applications.
|
00:29:06
|
|
|
And we currently have one applicant that I'm going to talk about how he has progressed.
|
00:29:11
|
|
|
In in what he has done so far on a future slide.
|
00:29:16
|
|
|
Again, Wayne Jones, the Regional Rd. Yard manager in Star Valley.
|
00:29:20
|
|
|
Uh.
|
00:29:24
|
|
|
Found out what's required to do in house training and he's not A and he's and he fulfilled all those requirements. He's now a
|
00:29:26
|
|
|
certified CDL trainer for Heela County.
|
00:29:30
|
|
|
So when we sent someone to get their permit for for.
|
00:29:35
|
|
|
For a CDL license, he signs off that they have completed all the classroom training that's required.
|
00:29:39
|
|
|
And then when they get ready to both take the driving test, he also signs off that they have.
|
00:29:48
|
|
|
Met the hours required on behind the wheel training.
|
00:29:54
|
|
|
So Wayne does that. He does that either personally or by supervising someone else to do that.
|
00:29:59
|
|
|
The proposal, the proposed plan right now is being implemented with a few of our employees. We have an apprenticeship.
|
00:30:05
|
|
|
The apprenticeship has been with us a number of months and today.
|
00:30:11
|
|
|
Uh, this week he'll he'll be getting his CDL permit and so for instance.
|
00:30:15
|
|
|
We also have another operator.
|
00:30:20
|
|
|
That came in without a CDL.
|
00:30:24
|
|
|
He had heavy equipment experience and one of the things that we did is change the job description to allow us to hire an operator
|
00:30:27
|
|
|
with heavy equipment experience. You'll see a little bit more details.
|
00:30:32
|
|
|
On a slide, so I'm just going to summarize it as it pertains to this particular employee. This employee also has met all the
|
00:30:37
|
|
|
classroom training and would be will be getting his CDL permit this week.
|
00:30:42
|
|
|
We have another employee that all of them in the Star Valley Rd. Yard at this time.
|
00:30:49
|
|
|
That came in with a CDL, but only has a.
|
00:30:54
|
|
|
Authorization to drive automatic transmissions. Most of our ten wheel trucks are standard, so we're training him so he can meet
|
00:30:58
|
|
|
those requirements and get his full CDL license.
|
00:31:04
|
|
|
That's a type of training and if it's taking place at this time.
|
00:31:10
|
|
|
Next slide please.
|
00:31:14
|
|
|
So the we can hire this flight has to do with the.
|
00:31:16
|
|
|
Road maintenance and Mansfield Equipment operator which requires for us to for for a person to apply.
|
00:31:21
|
|
|
And to come in as A at this position.
|
00:31:27
|
|
|
Uh, they no longer need a CDL, even though the CDL is very important, but we are requiring that they.
|
00:31:30
|
|
|
Within three months of employment that that they passed the written portion of the CDL testing.
|
00:31:38
|
|
|
We're requiring for them to do that. Those that have come in have met this requirement and at the end of nine months of
|
00:31:42
|
|
|
employment.
|
00:31:46
|
|
|
That they obtain A valid Arizona Class A Commercial Drivers license.
|
00:31:50
|
|
|
And that's what we're working on with the three individuals that I just mentioned earlier and we believe it's there, they will all
|
00:31:54
|
|
|
be successful at at meeting that requirement.
|
00:32:00
|
|
|
Next slide please.
|
00:32:06
|
|
|
So a new policy has, so we have operators and we have senior operators and in the past we had one position that was a senior
|
00:32:08
|
|
|
operator even though the operators here in Globe.
|
00:32:14
|
|
|
May be doing the same work.
|
00:32:19
|
|
|
At the same level as the senior operators and we wanted to provide a level playing field and encourage folks to to receive
|
00:32:21
|
|
|
additional training and qualify for the senior operator position.
|
00:32:27
|
|
|
And and that is part of the policy that if you agree, you would be approving later on today.
|
00:32:33
|
|
|
Our next slide please.
|
00:32:39
|
|
|
So what an external candidate to for the senior operator if somebody were to come to us and and I'm not talking about the operator
|
00:32:41
|
|
|
position anymore, the operator position if you remember does not require a CDL, just have the equipment experience and then we
|
00:32:47
|
|
|
train them.
|
00:32:53
|
|
|
But the senior. But somebody could come and apply for a senior operator position. They would have to have a Class A.
|
00:32:59
|
|
|
Class A CDL with tanker endorsement. 3 years of experience actually driving using that CDL.
|
00:33:05
|
|
|
Um, and and meet some of the other requirements that are in the job description.
|
00:33:12
|
|
|
If they if they don't have that, then we would hire them as an operator.
|
00:33:16
|
|
|
However, our internal candidates will automatically be promoted from operator to senior operator when they meet the following
|
00:33:21
|
|
|
qualifications and this is what the policy that we're presenting to you is about.
|
00:33:27
|
|
|
Number one, that they'd be here at least a year, year employment with public Works as an equipment operator. That's one of the
|
00:33:33
|
|
|
requirements to progress from operator to senior operator. We wanted to make sure that there was a time frame and and the minimum
|
00:33:37
|
|
|
that we think is one year.
|
00:33:42
|
|
|
They would also need to get a Class A commercial drivers license with the tanker endorsement.
|
00:33:48
|
|
|
So it's a step higher than what we talked about at the apprenticeship.
|
00:33:54
|
|
|
Our next slide please.
|
00:33:58
|
|
|
Umm.
|
00:34:00
|
|
|
They would have to demonstrate and when we hire someone from the outside, we have a A.
|
00:34:01
|
|
|
A test that we give them when they say they can drive heavy equipment, we ask them what kind of heavy equipment and then we.
|
00:34:07
|
|
|
During part of the interview process, we give them a test on the equipment itself.
|
00:34:13
|
|
|
And so we would be using this type of skill test.
|
00:34:19
|
|
|
To determine that this operator that wants to move from the operator position to the senior position would be qualified to at
|
00:34:22
|
|
|
least operate two of the heavy equipments that you see on the list and that we that we utilize on a frequent basis.
|
00:34:29
|
|
|
So they would need to be skilled on at least two of these pieces of equipment. Next slide please.
|
00:34:37
|
|
|
They would also need to pass LTAP courses, and the policy does a better job of describing these courses. So instead of reading
|
00:34:45
|
|
|
them off, I'm just going to tell you we have.
|
00:34:50
|
|
|
A program that's called a Road Scholar. It's a it's a state program to help public works organizations train individuals and.
|
00:34:55
|
|
|
The type of training that takes place, as you can see up here, is about safety.
|
00:35:05
|
|
|
It's about materials, it's about processes. It goes into things like gravel, Rd. maintenance and introduction to survey and things
|
00:35:09
|
|
|
like that.
|
00:35:15
|
|
|
There are two levels, L tap one they call it and L tap 2. There's nine classes associated with each level.
|
00:35:21
|
|
|
In order to get from operator to senior operator, you will have to pass eight out of nine.
|
00:35:28
|
|
|
Horses for El Tap One.
|
00:35:33
|
|
|
And eight out of nine courses for L tap tool.
|
00:35:35
|
|
|
And I I don't want someone to get hung up on the math. There's like a math. One of the courses is math.
|
00:35:38
|
|
|
If they're not able to fulfill the mad obligation, but they can fulfill all the others.
|
00:35:45
|
|
|
Then I think they would be capable and competent to be a senior operator, and so instead of requiring all the courses, we're
|
00:35:50
|
|
|
requiring 8 out of nine for each level.
|
00:35:55
|
|
|
Is there a last slide here?
|
00:36:01
|
|
|
So those are the that's how they would progress. It would be automatic if you meet those requirements, can operate the piece of
|
00:36:03
|
|
|
equipment, get your Class A CDL with tanker endorsement, pass the old tap training.
|
00:36:09
|
|
|
Uh, you would qualify to progress the senior operator in it and it it would be automatic. If not, let's look at whether I I
|
00:36:15
|
|
|
believe that you're a good employer or whatever it just if you meet those requirements, you move forward.
|
00:36:22
|
|
|
And there doesn't have to be a position open for that, you just you replace yourself as an operator to senior operator.
|
00:36:30
|
|
|
Um, and so the suggested motion is for.
|
00:36:38
|
|
|
The Board to to Consider and Approve Public Works Policy number PWS Zero 17.
|
00:36:42
|
|
|
Public works equipment, operator requirements and progression and authorize the Chairman's signature on the policy.
|
00:36:49
|
|
|
And with that, I will entertain questions.
|
00:36:55
|
|
|
Homer, thank you Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:36:58
|
|
|
Yeah, I've won. I thank you for all the work that you guys put into this and for doing the training program to help us.
|
00:37:01
|
|
|
Increase our workload, and I mean our workers, to keep up with the workload that we have.
|
00:37:08
|
|
|
And and and that I I didn't hear anything about part time employees.
|
00:37:15
|
|
|
And I was wondering, can a part time employee be?
|
00:37:21
|
|
|
Of a senior operator or or how is that working with the part time or does that that's not even in any of this?
|
00:37:24
|
|
|
We're not, We're not changing the part time employment.
|
00:37:33
|
|
|
We we do have an opportunity to bring our folks in at.
|
00:37:37
|
|
|
Part time at various levels.
|
00:37:41
|
|
|
And we'll continue to do that.
|
00:37:44
|
|
|
And that that's why it's not mentioned here. We're not changing that, OK, part time employee.
|
00:37:46
|
|
|
OK.
|
00:37:50
|
|
|
Thank you.
|
00:37:51
|
|
|
Very much Supervisor Christian picture and thank you for mayoral so great and we need to.
|
00:37:52
|
|
|
Open up more opportunities for people.
|
00:37:59
|
|
|
And I'm very impressed with Wayne Jones. Very self motivated man.
|
00:38:02
|
|
|
Um.
|
00:38:07
|
|
|
And he kind of went after the CDL training.
|
00:38:08
|
|
|
Teacher program himself, I mean.
|
00:38:11
|
|
|
Desired to become that he desired to take on that. Do you know if he incurred any personal expense doing that?
|
00:38:14
|
|
|
I'm sorry, I missed the last part of that question, so.
|
00:38:23
|
|
|
The wing.
|
00:38:26
|
|
|
When he became an instructor for the CDL that he and currently a personal expense.
|
00:38:29
|
|
|
He did that on his own, didn't he? He did that on his own. He currently is receiving special duty paid for that.
|
00:38:34
|
|
|
For, for, for that responsibility.
|
00:38:43
|
|
|
And we're offering the same for the other regional manager if he would care to.
|
00:38:46
|
|
|
Receive that type of accreditation.
|
00:38:52
|
|
|
Great. Yeah, I'd like to see people rewarded for.
|
00:38:56
|
|
|
What they do so.
|
00:38:59
|
|
|
He's a great employee. Thank you.
|
00:39:02
|
|
|
Homer has that's a good deal. Has this has been an issue we've had for a long time and you know we'll still have it to to some
|
00:39:05
|
|
|
extent, but this really gives our people a chance to move up.
|
00:39:10
|
|
|
Their position. So I want to thank you for putting all that together. It's really good. The question I would have for you.
|
00:39:15
|
|
|
Looking at these senior positions.
|
00:39:21
|
|
|
The folks that are now currently in those senior positions prior to this policy change or we're going to be working with them to
|
00:39:23
|
|
|
bring up some of this.
|
00:39:28
|
|
|
Ohh qualifications.
|
00:39:33
|
|
|
On for their behalf as well.
|
00:39:35
|
|
|
We're going to.
|
00:39:38
|
|
|
Be working with all of them to.
|
00:39:39
|
|
|
Complete every single LTAP course possible.
|
00:39:43
|
|
|
We are going to be pushing very hard for training. We've had a couple of mishaps in public works that.
|
00:39:47
|
|
|
Have stimulated us, encouraged us, motivated us to.
|
00:39:54
|
|
|
And provide additional training for employees. We're working with Caterpillar, so we would like for all senior operators to
|
00:39:59
|
|
|
continue.
|
00:40:03
|
|
|
With training.
|
00:40:09
|
|
|
And as time goes on and everybody, let's say everybody worked to satisfy the LTAP requirements, we're going to have to look for
|
00:40:10
|
|
|
other type of training.
|
00:40:15
|
|
|
One of the things that the HR offered to us is there's there's like a public works rodeo that takes place and because of COVID it
|
00:40:20
|
|
|
got postponed and.
|
00:40:24
|
|
|
Our employees, we send employees to represent us and that's kind of like a a training opportunity for the employees that attend
|
00:40:29
|
|
|
and as well as there's a little competition about how to operate the equipment.
|
00:40:35
|
|
|
And hopefully the the folks that we send one from each Rd. yard will bring back what they've learned. But yes, there's.
|
00:40:41
|
|
|
There's a lot to do, yeah.
|
00:40:46
|
|
|
For training of our employees in in all aspects of.
|
00:40:49
|
|
|
Of how best to write the maintenance for our roads and how to be safe while we do that.
|
00:40:52
|
|
|
There's still a lot of work to do.
|
00:41:00
|
|
|
So I know I have one more question and it has to do with public works.
|
00:41:02
|
|
|
So bear with me.
|
00:41:07
|
|
|
Are we looking at kind of the same protocols in your shots?
|
00:41:09
|
|
|
I mean you know you have you have mechanics that are still carrying CDL's and and other qualifications as well are, are, are.
|
00:41:13
|
|
|
Coming up in the future, are we going to be looking at something there as well?
|
00:41:22
|
|
|
Yes, we're currently looking and we talked to HR a couple of times and with the county manager as well.
|
00:41:25
|
|
|
On a similar program for our.
|
00:41:32
|
|
|
Fleet mechanics.
|
00:41:36
|
|
|
And it's a little different, and it's not quite the same.
|
00:41:39
|
|
|
In the in the world mechanic, there is like training that's available. It's basically universal. Ford Motor Company offers
|
00:41:44
|
|
|
training and automobiles.
|
00:41:49
|
|
|
And I think it's Penske offers training on heavy equipment.
|
00:41:55
|
|
|
And it's not something that, it's something that's utilized by many different organizations in the United States.
|
00:41:58
|
|
|
So we're trying to understand what that is and what's fair and how, how we can, how we can use that.
|
00:42:05
|
|
|
Not not, not just to.
|
00:42:11
|
|
|
Uh, keep people once we get them to retain them by.
|
00:42:13
|
|
|
A progression opportunity, but also how they can.
|
00:42:17
|
|
|
How we can train our employees to be the best?
|
00:42:22
|
|
|
The best mechanic possible?
|
00:42:25
|
|
|
Homer, thank you. Thank you for putting all this together. It it's it's a good thing for for us it's accounting for sure.
|
00:42:29
|
|
|
You know and I.
|
00:42:34
|
|
|
And I hear what you say about the vacancies in Payson. I often wonder if it isn't because of the cost of living and housing issues
|
00:42:35
|
|
|
in place and that that people just, it's just hard to be there right now so.
|
00:42:41
|
|
|
But thank you for going through all this and putting it together. With that, I'd entertain a motion.
|
00:42:48
|
|
|
Last year I moved to adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS DASH.
|
00:42:52
|
|
|
01 So I will second having a motion in a second. All in favor, do so by saying aye, Aye, aye, Motion carries. Thank you, Homer.

00:47:31
|
|
|
Down to the Tunnel Creek shores intersections.
|
00:47:34
|
|
|
So what we're going to do is we're going to pulverize the existing ask Pavement.
|
00:47:37
|
|
|
We're going to mix it with the existing aggregate base material.
|
00:47:43
|
|
|
We compacted according to mag specs.
|
00:47:46
|
|
|
And then we'll install a double chip seal and a fog seal on top of that.
|
00:47:49
|
|
|
We're also widening 3 curves and then we're going to strike the entire project.
|
00:47:54

|
|
Gazella is 2 lane roadway. It's got a.
|
00:48:00
|
|
|
Average daily traffic of 596 vehicles.
|
00:48:03
|
|
|
And it provides access to Gisela and the.
|
00:48:08
|
|
|
Tonto National Forest.
|
00:48:12
|
|
|
So the objective is to improve the driving surface and improve drivability of those 3 curves.
|
00:48:15
|
|
|
As a recommendation, our Public Works Director recommends that we award this bid 071023.
|
00:48:22
|
|
|
To Cactus Transport, also known as.
|
00:48:30
|
|
|
Cactus asphalt.
|
00:48:33
|
|
|
And I'll be happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Tom. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no questions, but thank you. That's been on
|
00:48:35
|
|
|
the on the chart for a couple years now. So I'm I'm very, very happy to see this come back.
|
00:48:41
|
|
|
And and I noticed too that on that on this downhill slope, it's a, it's a, it's a pretty good slope.
|
00:48:48
|
|
|
And there's a lot of tight curves on it, and some of those curves now have concrete curves on them. Will there be any concrete
|
00:48:55
|
|
|
curbs included in the engineering on this new road?
|
00:49:01
|
|
|
Not unless we do it as a change order. It's uh you know once we get into the project if if we need to take a look at those we we
|
00:49:07
|
|
|
could do a change order for those. Yeah, I I mean I'm not encouraging change orders but I know that due to the.
|
00:49:13
|
|
|
Steepness of it and the runoff that actually hits the road. I was just wondering if that's why the concrete curves?
|
00:49:19
|
|
|
Were there or or maybe they could be kept. I don't. I don't know. Yeah, we're going to try to keep the ones that are there. You
|
00:49:26
|
|
|
know, we're aware of them and.
|
00:49:30
|
|
|
I don't not sure why they were put in originally, but we'd like to keep them.
|
00:49:34
|
|
|
Unknown further question, Mr. Chair. Tom, thank you very much. Supervisor Christian. Thank you, Tom. I think those curves were put
|
00:49:39
|
|
|
in to prevent erosion, but I'm hoping that you're probably going to redirect.
|
00:49:44
|
|
|
And make sure the flows are all correct. So we'll get the water off the roadway, down into the ditches. Yeah, it's time to get
|
00:49:50
|
|
|
that robbery down. I remember when that was all dirt.
|
00:49:55
|
|
|
So.
|
00:50:00
|
|
|
Yeah.
|
00:50:01
|
|
|
Thank you, Tom.
|
00:50:01
|
|
|
Tom, I have any questions. Thank you so much. So for getting it done. I know.
|
00:50:03
|
|
|

00:52:06
|
|
|
The contract price.
|
00:52:13
|
|
|
Was $608,000. We had two bids on this project.
|
00:52:15
|
|
|
The umm.
|
00:52:22
|
|
|
Real quickly, the proposed work is in the.
|
00:52:23
|
|
|
Roosevelt Lake Resort community on Stagecoach Trail.
|
00:52:25
|
|
|
From Spur Trail to Antelope Trail.
|
00:52:29
|
|
|
The improvements consist of constructing new pavement.
|
00:52:32
|
|
|
In a concrete valley gutter.
|
00:52:36
|
|
|
For this two lane roadway with side street curb returns and the length of the project is about 1350 feet.
|
00:52:39
|
|
|
The community lies at the Foothills.
|
00:52:49
|
|
|
Of a nearby Mesa, and it's located on the east Bank of Pinole Creek.
|
00:52:52
|
|
|
During storm advance, the community experiences inundation.
|
00:52:57
|
|
|
Ranging from.
|
00:53:01
|
|
|
Ranging in severity from nuisance ponding to St. and parcel inundation.
|
00:53:04
|
|
|
The primary objective of this project is to improve drainage.
|
00:53:10
|
|
|
And mitigate existing flood potential and road damage.
|
00:53:14
|
|
|
And to reduce storm related maintenance for both residents and staff.
|
00:53:18
|
|
|
Project is designed to collect and convey the 10 year six hour storm event.
|
00:53:24
|
|
|
So in conclusion, it is in the best interest of Heela County to award this project to businesses.
|
00:53:30
|
|
|
Engineering and construction in the amount of $608,000.
|
00:53:37
|
|
|
We've added in 10% owners contingency.
|
00:53:42
|
|
|
$60,800.

00:53:45
|
|

|
00:53:48
|
|
|
Contract will be $668,800.
|
00:53:49
|
|
|
And I'll be happy to answer any questions, Tom. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:53:54
|
|
|
I have no questions, just another thank you. And it has been a long time, only 6 1/2 years.
|
00:53:59
|
|
|
We've been working on this project.
|
00:54:04
|
|
|
To drain a.
|
00:54:06
|
|
|
Of.
|
00:54:08
|
|
|
A residential area that when it rains, there's yards completely.
|
00:54:08
|
|
|
Flooded.
|
00:54:13
|
|
|
And all of them have septic tanks, so.
|
00:54:14
|
|
|
You know, it's not only a drainage issue, but it could very, very easily be a health issue as well, so.
|
00:54:17
|
|
|
I just want to thank staff very much because this has been a long hard one and.
|
00:54:23
|
|
|
It's one we've got to keep hitting every, every day, every step of the way.
|
00:54:27
|
|
|
And so nothing, but thank you very much.
|
00:54:31
|
|
|
Supervisor, Assistant, thank you Chairman and Tom, I have no questions.
|
00:54:36

00:54:43
|
|
|
Humphrey said, it's been a long time in the making. I'm sure those folks will.
|
00:54:48
|
|
|
Really appreciate it so that I entertain a motion.
|
00:54:53
|
|
|
Mr. Chairman, I'll move to award a contract in response to invitation for bids number.
|
00:54:56
|
|
|

|
00:55:01

|
|
In the amount of $608,000 that includes a 10% owners.
|
00:55:07
|
|
|
Contingency in the amount of $60,800 for total agreement.
|
00:55:11
|
|
|

|
00:55:16

Mr. Chair, I will be happy to 2nd that.
|
00:55:21
|
|
|
Having a motion in a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you, Tom.
|
00:55:25
|
|
|
Chairman if you would allow. Yeah, absolutely. Keeps the podium for another minute or two in the audience with us is Alex Kendrick
|
00:55:32
|
|
|
and and all of, you know, Alex, OK. But I just wanted to kind of like formally introduce him as our county engineer working for
|
00:55:38
|
|
|
with tom-tom Goodman and his public works.
|
00:55:43
|
|
|
And and the reason I do that is because he's going to play a very important role in what we do forward. Tom right now has a plate
|
00:55:49
|
|
|
of about $47 million worth of projects that he's working on.
|
00:55:54
|
|
|
Some of them have been engineered, some of them were under construction, some are soon to be construction, Some of them are grant
|
00:56:00
|
|
|
money that we have available that we haven't spent yet.
|
00:56:04
|
|
|
And so Alex is going to play a big role in that and and I want to thank our our Assistant County Manager for and his organization
|
00:56:09
|
|
|
for being so cordial about allowing Alex their transfer into into public works and continue a breakthrough year with with HeLa
|
00:56:18
|
|
|
County. Just wanted to introduce him and welcome him and we look forward to continued success from him.
|
00:56:26
|
|
|
Alex, congratulations and we're we're glad to have you over there helping Tom and everybody out. That's gonna be good. And I'm
|
00:56:35
|
|
|
sure that Michael being a team player, he is with all four sharing you with with with Public Works. So I know that's what he's
|
00:56:40
|
|
|
going to say.
|
00:56:45
|
|
|
Good. Absolutely correct, Chairman.
|
00:56:51
|
|
|
Thank you, Alex. Good job. Yep.

|
00:57:19
|

|
like to speak on this and the benefits of it a little bit.

00:57:24
|
|
|
Yeah, I it it benefits the community because it brings a lot of people in and and there's a lot of things going on there. There's
|
00:57:30
|

|
a lot of history in that.
|
00:57:34

00:57:39

Umm, And and it. Like I said, it brings a lot of people and there's a lot of history over the area.
|
00:57:44

And if I'm not mistaken that's a three-way split with all three of us and what this is about is the little fire district there has
|
01:03:38
|
|
|
needs to go through and.
|
01:03:42
|
|
|
Replace a lot of their fire hose.
|
01:03:47
|
|
|
And so that's what what the money's going for.
|
01:03:50
|
|
|
Holes. Regardless of if you use it every day or you don't after it sets for so many years in in the weather and whatever else.
|
01:03:55
|
|
|
It gets bad, it goes bad, it won't hold hold pressure, so.
|
01:04:03
|
|
|
All three of us has agreed to split this, which is a really good thing and a really good purpose. Supervisor Humphrey, you have
|
01:04:07
|
|
|
any questions or comments? I have no questions or comments and I'm glad to do it, but I would maybe they can reach out for some of
|
01:04:12
|
|
|
the.
|
01:04:17
|
|
|
Grants from the gaming districts in the future. But yeah, no, I I'm very happy to do this for them, to help them with that, didn't
|
01:04:22
|
|
|
they? They didn't go through.
|
01:04:26
|
|
|
Yeah.
|
01:04:33
|
|
|
Yeah.
|
01:04:35
|
|
|
Yeah, we've been trying to guide him along that way. Chief Morris at Hell's Gate is really good. It'd be like.
|
01:04:36
|
|
|
It'd be good if those two could sit down around the table and and and get together on that. But you absolutely you're right
|
01:04:42
|
|
|
because they they pay for a lot, yeah.
|
01:04:46
|
|
|
Yeah, it's it's just people don't realize how strapped for cash the fire districts are.
|
01:04:50
|
|
|
They are going to be able to do this. Devastating for them to face a bill like this.
|
01:04:56
|
|
|
But it's for public safety. I'm happy to contribute, yeah, and everyone's about the same. So with that I'd entertain a motion.
|
01:05:01
|
|
|
Mr. Chair, I move to approve Intergovernment Agreement number 083123 as presented in the board has counted to be beneficial to the

01:08:20

|

You know they're coming in. So that's why I felt someone from a couple. I've got a couple people from Tunnel Basin.

|
|
Ohh, cause I think that if once that bridge is finished, we're gonna get some infrastructure in that area.
|
01:08:35
|
|
|
Well, with that, I'd entertain a motion to accept the consent agenda action items.

|
|

OK. Do you have anybody comments on YouTube, Joseph?
|
01:09:10

01:09:15
|
|
|
So on to update #7.
|
01:09:17
|
|
|
Michael, do you have updates on the manager side of things?
|
01:09:22
|
|
|
I do not at this time, Sir. OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey.
|
01:09:25
|
|
|
Umm.
|
01:09:31
|
|
|
No, just.
|
01:09:33
|
|
|
Just saying stuff. Meetings.
|
01:09:34
|
|
|
Been on the radio, attended the Cattle Growers.
|
01:09:36
|
|
|
Association luncheon on Saturday.
|
01:09:39
|
|
|
And it's it's good just to stay in front of the public and.
|
01:09:43
|
|
|
And see what's going on in the community so.
|
01:09:47
|
|
|
That's about it.
|
01:09:50
|
|
|
Really bad.
|
01:09:52
|
|
|
OK, good deal.
|
01:09:53
|
|
|
Supervisor Christensen, I'll fill you in on a recent trip to Washington. You bet. Wednesday morning. The whole purpose was to go
|
01:09:55
|
|
|
and visit with.
|
01:10:00
|
|
|
Representative Senators and that and put my hat in my hand asking for help. Money. So the PILT money is payment in lieu of taxes.
|
01:10:05
|
|
|
That's very important to Heela County.
|
01:10:11
|
|
|
And we received just under $4 million approximately.
|
01:10:18
|
|
|
This is not a continually funded thing, so we have to go back every year and beg for it, make sure they don't cut it out and be
|
01:10:23
|
|
|
devastating to us.
|
01:10:27
|
|
|
To do that. So they will meet with eight.
|
01:10:32
|
|
|
Was it 9? And we went to nine different offices.
|
01:10:36
|
|
|
Of representatives and senators met a lot of people. They were all.
|
01:10:40
|
|
|
Really in favor of funding pills. So I don't think we're in danger of losing tilt at this point, even with the very conservative
|
01:10:47
|
|
|
groups that are.
|
01:10:51
|
|
|
Saying, you know, we're spending too much, we're going to have to make some cuts and we may have a government shutdown. Hilt
|
01:10:56
|
|
|
doesn't seem to be one of those things that.
|
01:11:00
|
|
|
Anyone's willing to cut.
|
01:11:04
|
|
|
UH, alongside of that was also the SRS, which we talked about earlier.
|
01:11:06
|
|
|
We get about $1.6 million for.
|
01:11:11
|
|
|
Several schools, That's.
|
01:11:15
|
|
|
Timber money in in lieu of not cutting timber money. And so that was also something we did. It was very organized. I was, I just,
|
01:11:17
|
|
|
we just were able to walk right in and it all happened.
|
01:11:24
|
|
|
Was a really great visit. I look forward to doing it again. The travel was kind of a bummer, but yeah, actually being there was
|
01:11:30
|
|
|
great.
|
01:11:35
|
|
|
I will make the comment the whole place is.
|
01:11:40
|
|
|
Ornately.
|
01:11:43
|
|
|
Magnificently gilded at every level.
|
01:11:45
|
|
|
You cannot believe the size and magnitude of the buildings, the columns, the.
|
01:11:49
|
|
|
Supreme Court the most Um.
|
01:11:55
|
|
|
Elaborate of the mall with the.
|
01:11:58
|
|
|
Library of Congress When you go inside of that, you cannot.
|
01:12:01
|
|
|
Believe what that is. I mean, it's just you can't even swallow in there. It's.
|
01:12:05
|
|
|
And I got my.
|
01:12:10
|
|
|
I got my library card for the library of cars.
|
01:12:12
|
|
|
Yeah. So I was able to actually go down and see the public actually go in there.
|
01:12:15
|
|
|
You have to have a library card. So we've got a library card and we actually went down into the actual library.
|
01:12:20
|
|
|
Was pretty cool.
|
01:12:25
|
|
|
Um was on camogie yesterday. That went really well. That always goes well and.
|
01:12:26
|
|
|
We are still on track for the hash knife monument. That's probably going to be a ceremony sometime toward the end of October.
|
01:12:32
|
|
|
We're just starting to work on that now, so we'll have more to come on that. The the actual bronze is almost completed at this
|
01:12:38
|
|
|
point. Just got a video on it yesterday.
|
01:12:43
|
|
|
And they're doing the final welding, that kind of stuff.
|
01:12:49
|
|
|
Umm.
|
01:12:53
|
|
|
Patty Powers was amazing. She's uh.
|
01:12:54
|
|
|
Are.
|
01:12:58
|
|
|
Uh, lady in Washington. That is our lobbyist. And so she was very helpful.
|
01:13:00
|
|
|
Really worked out great.
|
01:13:05
|
|
|
So thank you.
|
01:13:07
|
|
|
Good trip then.
|
01:13:10
|
|
|
You had?
|
01:13:12
|
|
|
I'm sorry. Good trip. I had a good trip. Productive and enlightening.
|
01:13:13
|
|
|
And I'm willing to go back. Cool.
|
01:13:19
|
|
|
Yeah.
|
01:13:22
|
|
|
OK, so before I tie into this some things here I got I want to read a letter from one of our past.
|
01:13:23
|
|
|
Deals we pushed through for the local VW. Here we we helped fix their roof on their building.
|
01:13:31
|
|
|
To the tune of quite a bit of money.
|
01:13:38
|
|
|
So I want to read this letter to you, and it's addressed to the Heela County Board of Supervisors.
|
01:13:40
|
|
|
On behalf of VFW Post 1704, I think the Hilla County Board of Supervisors for your support of our association.
|
01:13:45
|
|
|
Our new roof made it possible by your generous contribution was completed on August 4th, 2023.
|
01:13:55
|
|
|
You allow us to continue our services and sponsorships to our veterans, their families and our communities. We are able once again
|
01:14:03
|
|
|
to be a resource for the community as a rental hall for various private and community events.
|
01:14:10
|
|
|
VFW Post is dedicated to honoring excellence, promoting patriotism, and investing in our future generations in the global Miami
|
01:14:17
|
|
|
community.
|
01:14:22
|
|
|
Who are grateful to you for helping ensure that the post buildings proud 75 year history.
|
01:14:26
|
|
|
As home to our local, veterans from all branches of service will continue to be a beacon in our community.
|
01:14:32
|
|
|
Thank you for joining us with this patriotic spirit to make this a House of Honor and to serve.
|
01:14:39
|
|
|
Our veterans who have valiantly fought to protect our freedom and for our community which supports them.
|
01:14:45
|
|
|
This was signed by John McBride, Junior Vice Commander. And so it's always good to see those those projects be done and us be able
|
01:14:51
|
|
|
to be a part of them. I mean that was a lot of discussion to get to that point.
|
01:14:57
|
|
|
Lot of discussion. So it worked out very well and it sounds like they're on their way.
|
01:15:04
|
|
|
Way now to.
|
01:15:08
|
|
|
To have had their building backs.
|
01:15:10
|
|
|
So it just dishing to that on September 11th I I was in an RCD meeting.
|
01:15:12
|
|
|
Uh, kind of basic things still.
|
01:15:18
|
|
|
Still working on the big contract with the boundary fences on the forest. That's through a good neighbor authority between NRCD
|
01:15:21
|
|
|
and.
|
01:15:25
|
|
|
The total National Forest, there's 73 miles of fence. It's about a $5 million project and the NRCD is doing a contract.
|
01:15:29
|
|
|
Our district is so.
|
01:15:38
|
|
|
So working on that, um, we have some election stuff coming up on our next one. We're going to be working on that.
|
01:15:40
|
|
|
And probably reseat officers on the board as well, but it was a very good meeting.
|
01:15:47
|
|
|
On September 13th I meet myself and Kathy. We made it to Payson in time to.
|
01:15:54
|
|
|
Set in on the Election Integrity Integrity meeting with Doctor Franks.
|
01:16:01
|
|
|
Umm.
|
01:16:06
|
|
|
We we we got hung up a little bit, so I only was in there for about an hour.
|
01:16:07
|
|
|
Uh, whether I agree with anything or not.
|
01:16:12
|
|
|
It was something to listen to. I will just put it that way. There's a lot of lot of people, a lot of emotions in this election.
|
01:16:17
|
|
|
Integrity part of it.
|
01:16:21
|
|
|
Lot of push on paper ballots, hand counting.
|
01:16:26
|
|
|
Do away with the machines on and on and on and on. But it's good to listen to people and and I think from.
|
01:16:30
|
|
|
My standpoint I I want to be able to listen to all sides of it before we actually are going to have to make a decision.
|
01:16:37
|
|
|
And so.
|
01:16:43
|
|
|
We we had some some information we brought back if either one of you want to read it or whatever, more than welcome to but.
|
01:16:46
|
|
|
I don't know. It's just, you know, this, this Doctor Franks, he's.
|
01:16:55
|
|
|
Guy that travels around the country and it puts on these different.
|
01:17:01
|
|
|
Meetings and things like that on election integrity.
|
01:17:04
|
|
|
What I've seen so far on a lot of the like election integrity, it always goes back to the national level, the the big one.
|
01:17:07
|
|
|
I every meeting I'm in, I try to pull it back to Heela County, tell me what's wrong with Heela County and we don't get two
|
01:17:15
|
|
|
sentences out and we're back to Wisconsin or someplace.
|
01:17:20
|
|
|
And so.
|
01:17:26
|
|
|
I just I've I there's a lot of good people that's in this group and I know a lot of them personally. And I know you do too.
|
01:17:29
|
|
|
And.
|
01:17:36
|
|
|
And I think it's it.
|
01:17:37
|
|
|
I think it makes them feel better that at least we're listening and paying attention no matter where the outcome is going to be or
|
01:17:39
|
|
|
whatever.
|
01:17:42
|
|
|
What's going to happen?
|
01:17:46
|
|
|
One of the big things coming up and you can shoot me down if I'm wrong, but our next next meeting is on the 26th.
|
01:17:47
|
|
|
Is about our policies and procedures here.
|
01:17:54
|
|
|
On elections.
|
01:17:58
|
|
|
And Sadie and Eric are going to present on this.
|
01:18:00
|
|
|
I've made it well known with these groups.
|
01:18:04
|
|
|
We're not talking about hand counts.
|
01:18:07
|
|
|
We're not talking about paper ballots.
|
01:18:09
|
|
|
We're here to let Eric and Sadie go through our process.
|
01:18:11
|
|
|
From one end to the other.
|
01:18:15
|
|
|
And and and that and make sure people understand it. What I find still out there in these meetings and other places, there's
|
01:18:17
|
|
|
people sitting there that still doesn't understand.
|
01:18:22
|
|
|
The processes we go through in our election.
|
01:18:27
|
|
|
They they don't know what we go through. So this is a way of getting it out there. I think it'll help a lot of people understand
|
01:18:29
|
|
|
that.
|
01:18:33
|
|
|
But I will say too that I'm not sure how that meeting's going to come out. As far as the group wise, I've made it well known that
|
01:18:37
|
|
|
I'm not gonna.
|
01:18:40
|
|
|
I'm not gonna entertain anything except what?
|
01:18:44
|
|
|
Eric and and Sadie have to present our work session so.
|
01:18:47
|
|
|
So I I we made it through that one. And then on September 14th we went back to a cell phone tower meeting in Whispering Pines.
|
01:18:51
|
|
|
I don't know.
|
01:19:00
|
|
|
How many of you are familiar with whispering Pines? But it's a real.
|
01:19:01
|
|
|
Sits down in a Canyon. Um quite a few homes really in there for where it sets and the way it sets.
|
01:19:04
|
|
|
I can't imagine there being very good self-service in there. I mean, I don't have anyone. I'm there.
|
01:19:12
|
|
|
Umm.
|
01:19:17
|
|
|
But the first meeting I was at was was with Supervisor Christensen.
|
01:19:18
|
|
|
Right after we redo the lines.
|
01:19:23
|
|
|
And.
|
01:19:26
|
|
|
It was on the cell phone tower.
|
01:19:28
|
|
|
And the proposal was is to put a cell phone tower in the middle of the community there.
|
01:19:30
|
|
|
I went in there thinking, well, this is a slam dunk. These people are going to want a cell phone tower because I guarantee you
|
01:19:35
|
|
|
can't call out.
|
01:19:38
|
|
|
Anywhere in that Canyon, unless you're in your house and you have Wi-Fi.
|
01:19:41
|
|
|
Ohh boy was I wrong.
|
01:19:45
|
|
|
It was all, I wouldn't say all, but I'd say 80% opposition to the cell phone.
|
01:19:47
|
|
|
Very vocal opposition.
|
01:19:53
|
|
|
And so we went up back the other night and Kathy for another round and listened to him and.
|
01:19:55
|
|
|
And it was the same thing. There was a a few people there that was for it, but the majority of them.
|
01:20:01
|
|
|
Are dead set against it.
|
01:20:06
|
|
|
And there, their main reason is it's five. It's a 5G tower and 5G, the rate, the waves off of it though, whatever they call it
|
01:20:10
|
|
|
that comes off the tower is going to cause cancer and and health problems.
|
01:20:16
|
|
|
Some people talked about the tower being there in the middle of their community and it's gonna it's gonna knock their property
|
01:20:24
|
|
|
values down.
|
01:20:28
|
|
|
Possibly, I don't know.
|
01:20:33
|
|
|
So we listen to that.
|
01:20:34
|
|
|
Obviously, you know, they've got a process they're going to go through and it's not over with yet, so we'll see.
|
01:20:38
|
|
|
See where that goes, But very vocal against that cell phone. I told a few of them there.
|
01:20:43
|
|
|
If you if you guys don't want it, we'll take it in Pleasant Valley because we don't have sales. But listen, it would be really
|
01:20:48
|
|
|
nice to have it.
|
01:20:50
|
|
|
You know, so anyway we we we attended that meeting and then on the 16th.
|
01:20:54
|
|
|
I was at the Hilo County categories annual steak fry. Supervisor Humphrey was there. It was a pretty good turnout, good, good
|
01:21:00
|
|
|
conversations, a lot of visiting going on with folks.
|
01:21:05
|
|
|
Supervisor Humphrey helped me speak there. That and he spoke on behalf of the county and I spoke on behalf of NRCD.
|
01:21:11
|
|
|
In the district.
|
01:21:18
|
|
|
And I believe it's a good turnout, don't you, Tim?
|
01:21:20
|
|
|
It was a good turnout.
|
01:21:23
|
|
|
And so.
|
01:21:24
|
|
|
One thing coming up? The Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat fundraiser and it's Saturday, November 4th. Tickets will be $100 each.
|
01:21:27
|
|
|
And can be purchased at the Majestic RIM Retirement Community in Payson.
|
01:21:36
|
|
|
The BIOS has ticket says side.
|
01:21:41
|
|
|
For them to each just let Kathy know if you will attend and how many tickets.
|
01:21:44
|
|
|
This this event is is being held by that retirement community to help us raise money for the vet site.
|
01:21:48
|
|
|
They're they're a huge help. These folks are going through everything as far as I know. They're putting it all together. They're
|
01:21:56
|
|
|
cleaning.
|
01:21:59
|
|
|
All of it. And very excited to do it. I'm very happy to be a part of it. So I think if I remember I read it, there's like 130
|
01:22:04
|
|
|
tickets gonna be sold as all there's gonna be sold.
|
01:22:09
|
|
|
OK.
|
01:22:16
|
|
|
OK.
|
01:22:18
|
|
|
So I think based interested in going to the whatever, get ahold of Kathy and we'll go from there.
|
01:22:20
|
|
|
And then?
|
01:22:26
|
|
|
I think that is it. Tomorrow I will be at CSA.
|
01:22:28
|
|
|
Small counties and the eco meeting is tomorrow, they'll be at that one.
|
01:22:33
|
|
|
And then back to Young after that.
|
01:22:39
|
|
|
Guys got anything you want to add or?
|
01:22:41
|
|
|
You think I'm up?
|
01:22:43
|
|
|
Yeah.
|
01:22:45
|
|
|
I.
|
01:22:46
|
|
|
You know I I.
|
01:22:47
|
|
|
I was there Saturday was the services for a past supervisor, Shirley Dawson.
|
01:22:49
|
|
|
And so I didn't make the services because I wanted to go to the.
|
01:22:55
|
|
|
Can deal, but I I'd ask for a moment of silence before you close for past supervisor who has.
|
01:23:00
|
|
|
Best by Shirley does Yeah. We we can do that and I don't that that was just like same time as the steak Fried was going on that
|
01:23:06
|
|
|
day. It was yeah. I believe she was the first female chairman of the board.
|
01:23:13
|
|
|
And probably, I believe, and yeah. And so anyway, probably, I think she served for two terms.
|
01:23:20
|
|
|
Two times, yeah. I don't. I don't remember the years exactly, but.
|
01:23:27
|
|
|
But I remember the two terms, so if we could, let's just have a moment of silence and then we'll go from there.
|
01:23:31
|
|
|
OK. Thank you. And if there is nothing else?
|
01:23:46
|
|
|
I think I got a lot of papers to sign.
|
01:23:52
|
|
|
So during the meeting. Thanks.
|
01:23:54

|
|
