And Erica will lead us through this. Thank you, Erica. Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Chair, members of the Board again, thank you
|
00:03:10
|
|
for the opportunity to be here today.
|
00:03:13
|
|
As mentioned, we do have nine employees that were nominated.
|
00:03:18
|
|
Um, we'll go through the nominations.
|
00:03:22
|
|
Eight of them were actually a group nomination and their Spotlight nomination red.
|
00:03:26
|
|
On August 7th, 2023, a fire broke out at 8:00 PM at the Buckhead, Lisa Mantel.
|
00:03:31
|
|
EDOT notified county staff and the Peace and Fire Department, and they were dispatched to the fire. Public Works Director Homero
|
00:03:38
|
|
Vela was the first to arrive on site.
|
00:03:43
|
|
He did an amazing job coordinating between the fire department and staff to create a plan to contain the fire. They worked through
|
00:03:47
|
|
the night to extinguish the fire, with many remaining at Buckhead Mesa Landfill until 4:00 AM.
|
00:03:53
|
|
We would like to recognize these employees for their hard work and perseverance in this tough situation. Thank you. And this was
|
00:03:59
|
|
submitted by Melanie Mendez.
|
00:04:03
|
|
Um, So our employees that were nominated were Mirabella. He's been with the county for five years.
|
00:04:07
|
|
If you'd like to come up and.
|
00:04:15
|
|
Say anything or.
|
00:04:17
|
|
For about one, I'm sorry.
|
00:04:18
|
|
She's looking at me. Thank you. Thank you. We don't get a speech, Homer. Yeah, actually, I would. I would like to say something.
|
00:04:25
|
|
Um.
|
00:04:33
|
|
I'm involved because happenstance. I happened to be at the Safeway and patient contributing my sales tax money.
|
00:04:34
|
|
When I got a call from Brent Klein, who had heard from the Fire department, Fine, Strawberry Fire Department first to respond.
|
00:04:42
|
|
And and a lot of kudos belong to them. They were putting out the fire when I got there. By the time I got there, of course Melanie
|
00:04:50
|
|
knew about this and I we started calling folks.
|
00:04:55
|
|
And the folks broke away from whatever they were doing.
|
00:05:01
|
|
Melanie and I decided that we would have Wayne Jones come.
|
00:05:05
|
|
It's supervised our efforts because he would be closer than than Melanie.
|
00:05:10
|
|
And then the Melanie would show up again the next morning early.
|
00:05:15
|
|
And and take over and that's what happened the folks I I stayed there till about 10:00.
|
00:05:20
|
|
And I I did very little other than make phone calls, but there were folks manning the water trucks, our team.
|
00:05:24
|
|
From the landfill.
|
00:05:31
|
|
Our folks manning a bulldozer, pushing the material into the fire.
|
00:05:32
|
|
And of course the fire department who stayed there till the fire, the flames were extinguished.
|
00:05:36
|
|
And our team stayed there till the early mornings mother and the fire out with water.
|
00:05:42
|
|
Uh, what? I get a couple of things that I did learn. One of them is our water trucks push out a lot more water than the hoses from
|
00:05:46
|
|
the fire truck, The hoses from the fire truck, or like they're pinpoint accuracy, they're long distance.
|
00:05:52
|
|
But when we put that water truck to work, and Jasmine was the first to operate a water truck, she actually used to be a scale
|
00:05:58
|
|
house operator.
|
00:06:03
|
|
Who has moved up the chain of opportunities with the HeLa County?
|
00:06:08
|
|
And that that night when she showed up, she got in a water truck.
|
00:06:13
|
|
And as soon as she started pushing water onto the fire, it started to get extinguished.
|
00:06:17
|
|
And then later on folks from Einstein.
|
00:06:23
|
|
Star Valley Rd. Yard showed up. Many of Wayne's team was there. Wayne Jones's team.
|
00:06:28
|
|
Were there and and they get acknowledged right now.
|
00:06:34
|
|
And they worked until that next day, till the fire was completely out. But it was like a team effort.
|
00:06:38
|
|
Working with the with the fire department.
|
00:06:44
|
|
Are folks that are ready to respond at any hour of the day or night any day of the week?
|
00:06:46
|
|
That's that's the kind of thing we have and I'm proud to be a member of the Thank you.
|
00:06:52
|
|
Thank you, Homer.
|
00:06:57
|
|
You're right.
|
00:07:00
|
|
The rest of our honorary firefighter crew.
|
00:07:01
|
|
Um, we have a Stewart, Wayne Jones, who's been with the county over 11 years and I believe he's up in Payson.
|
00:07:03
|
|
And of course, if any of the pace and staff would like to say anything, you're welcome to.
|
00:07:12
|
|
Um, we have Kenneth Sophie, who's been with the county over a year.
|
00:07:16
|
|
Forest Horton, who's been with the county for three months.
|
00:07:21
|
|

|
00:07:26
|
|
Daniel Gale has been with the county over five years.
|
00:07:30
|
|
And Jasmine, who's been with the county over 2 years. And that concludes our first nomination.
|
00:07:33
|
|
Thank you. Thank you, Erica.
|
00:07:39
|
|
You guys wanna say anything or are you good?
|
00:07:43
|
|
I think they're good.
|
00:07:46
|
|
And no speech is prepared, so we'll move on.
|
00:07:47
|
|
Next, we have our Spotlight nomination for Trent Moores.
|
00:07:51
|
|
His nomination read Trent quickly responded to an emergency call from the Paris Peace and Sheriff's Office jail after hours.
|
00:07:55
|
|
A blocked sewer line had caused contamination in the facility, but Trent was able to repair it and get critical infrastructure
|
00:08:03
|
|
back online in a short amount of time.
|
00:08:07
|
|
He then entered the facility was properly cleaned and sanitized, allowing the 24/7 critical facility to remain operational.
|
00:08:11
|
|
Trent is with our facilities and Land Management department and has been with the county over two years.
|
00:08:20
|
|
And that does conclude our nominations. Good deal. Thank you, Erica, and congratulations, Trent, and congratulations to rest you
|
00:08:26
|
|

|
00:08:36
|
|
of our employees.

|
00:08:46
|
|

|
00:08:50
|

00:08:54

|
OK, under public hearings #3A information discussion there action to convene a public hearing to hear from citizens.
|
00:08:57
|
|
On the FY23 Community Development Block Grant CDBG application for FY23.
|
00:09:05
|
|
CDBG regional account funding in the amount of $150,107.00 Good morning, Kaylee, You're it. Good morning, Chair and members of the
|
00:09:13
|
|
board. So this is to open up public hearing for our CDBG funding, which is $150,107.00. There's no matching requirement with this
|
00:09:20
|
|
funding.
|
00:09:27
|
|
And I actually have Angela from TAG if she wants to speak to what it is that we can and can't do. But the requirements are has to
|
00:09:35
|
|
benefit an area that is 51% or more low to moderate income.
|
00:09:42
|
|
Prevent or eliminate slum and blight or address an urgent need due to a natural disaster, human health hazard.
|
00:09:50
|
|
OK. Thank you, Kaylee. Supervisor Humphrey questions.
|
00:09:57
|
|
I have no questions.
|
00:10:01
|
|
Supervisor Christianson. My only question is why do we have to have a public hearing like?
|
00:10:03
|
|
It's just we're we're applying for, right, Right, Right.
|
00:10:09
|
|
Come on up, you can explain these pills Beer and I can.
|
00:10:14
|
|
State your name, please Angela Gatto with central Arizona governments.
|
00:10:19
|
|
The purpose of a public hearing is so that the community has an opportunity to bring forward.
|
00:10:24
|
|
Projects that they would like to see happen within the county. Only projects that are discussed at this meeting can actually be
|
00:10:32
|
|
voted on.
|
00:10:35
|
|
And step forward for funding. So we'll have a list from this meeting. We'll have a second public hearing at the end of October.
|
00:10:39
|
|
For the board to decide which project they want to choose from, what comes out of this, we have to advertise it so that if people
|
00:10:48
|
|
were not in attendance, they have an opportunity to submit comments to the board on what they would like to see voted on.
|
00:10:55
|
|
OK, great. Thanks.
|
00:11:03
|
|
Thank you so much.
|
00:11:05
|
|
So I'm good. So with that I'll open up a public hearing. Is there anyone in passing the one speak to it?
|
00:11:07
|
|
No, Sir.
|
00:11:13
|
|
OK, how about here? I don't see anyone here.
|
00:11:14
|
|
So I'll close the public hearing and entertain a motion.
|
00:11:18
|
|
Mr. Chair, I move through in Virginia Public Chairman Ohh, hold on just one minute, Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:11:23
|
|
You have to trust intentional projects that you want to see.
|
00:11:29
|
|
I don't know that we can even do that. Be honestly says that we're really not ready for it, are we?
|
00:11:36
|
|
Word.
|
00:11:43
|
|
Do you have some projects in mind? Excuse me, go ahead supervisor. My suggestion would be to utilize the funding for housing
|
00:11:44
|
|
rehabilitation to.
|
00:11:49
|
|
Add to what my department does currently with our other housing Rehab funding about Blythe.
|
00:11:55
|
|
Mr. Chairman, yes, these funds are tickets we can use.
|
00:12:02
|
|
Used by community development for housing and real rehabilitation.
|
00:12:05
|
|
As Kaylee says, so.
|
00:12:10
|
|
And that we can continue to do that. I know Town of Miami they are using their CDBG money for.
|
00:12:12
|
|
Of a stair.
|
00:12:18
|
|
Step Keystone Stairs in Miami.
|
00:12:20
|
|
So there are a number of other projects.
|
00:12:23
|
|
If there have not been.
|
00:12:26
|
|
Any submitted?
|
00:12:29
|
|
If we're not prepared to discuss those.
|
00:12:31
|
|
I would suggest.
|
00:12:34
|
|
There is a time consideration and I'll have to look to Angela to see if we can do this, but put this off for a couple of weeks
|
00:12:36
|
|
that we can hold our preliminary hearing.
|
00:12:39
|
|
To get these ideas together and and work with each of you.
|
00:12:43
|
|
To be able to have a discussion, meaningful discussion on the different potential uses for these.
|
00:12:47
|
|
Our project, so be more appropriate. So I would lean on the board for that and see what their, what our comfort level is as board.
|
00:12:53
|
|
Do you want to table it for a couple weeks and get some ideas in front of us or do we want to throw it to the wind and go on with
|
00:12:58
|
|
it well?
|
00:13:03
|
|
Mr. Chair.
|
00:13:08
|
|
I I do know that for for housing, for.
|
00:13:09
|
|
Elderly and and people that can't afford it. I know you have a back list.
|
00:13:13
|
|
That you'll probably never catch up on, and also to funding probably doesn't make it through some of your projects though.
|
00:13:18
|
|
Adding to some of that and and.
|
00:13:26
|
|
On on on your rehabilitation. It goes from everything from.
|
00:13:28
|
|
Windows to roofing to whatever that particular property may need that correct and and so on. A housing rehab.
|
00:13:34
|
|
There wouldn't be a restriction to this funding.
|
00:13:43
|
|
And as far as what you can use it for.
|
00:13:47
|
|
And and so some of your other funding limits you on what projects you can do with that funding. So if you go into a house that
|
00:13:51
|
|
needs windows and a roof.
|
00:13:56
|
|
But another funding will do the insulation of the windows, but they won't do the roof.
|
00:14:01
|
|
This would allow you funding.
|
00:14:06
|
|
To help them with the complete project. Is that correct? Yes.
|
00:14:08
|
|
OK.
|
00:14:12
|
|
Mr. Chair, I'm I'm fine to go ahead and make a motion because it.
|
00:14:14
|
|
They've got a back list, but if you if you would care to.
|
00:14:19
|
|
Yeah, no, I'm come up with with certain projects to.
|
00:14:22
|
|
To pinpoint which particular projects would use this for No. That's why I I asked her the questions that I did because.
|
00:14:27
|
|
You know, if we pinpoint it then that's all we can use it for and I think it would be better use to the department to be able to
|
00:14:36
|
|
plug in as they need to.
|
00:14:41
|
|
For for a list that they already have, I don't disagree with that. And if that's see, I didn't realize that in the past. It's what
|
00:14:47
|
|
money like this been used for James. So I thought this is something new.
|
00:14:52
|
|
But if that's the case, I'm good with that because as you Kaylee said, we we never get ahead of that list, right?
|
00:14:58
|
|
We never do and it would. It would just help.
|
00:15:04
|
|
Complete a complete project because some of the other funding that she gets.
|
00:15:07
|
|
Has earmarks that they can only use certain things. James.
|
00:15:11
|
|
Miss Chairman, I was just going to say that that that's how we've used it in the past.
|
00:15:15
|
|
Whether I was short sighted or or whatever that I didn't.
|
00:15:19
|
|
Think outside of that, there were some projects that we needed to consider.
|
00:15:22
|
|
It was my assumption that we would continue to use it.
|
00:15:27
|
|
For housing to help those that don't have safe, secure homes to live in, yeah, but my assumption that that's.
|
00:15:29
|
|
How the board would proceed?
|
00:15:39
|
|
Be comfortable with that Supervisor Christensen. Yep. OK, so with that, the only question, We're gonna go that way. I see a side
|
00:15:40
|
|
note that maybe there isn't an action needed, but there is an action needed.
|
00:15:45
|
|
So I'll flip advisor Humphrey, if you'll continue on to your motion, we'll wrap this one up, OK. And you and there will be another
|
00:15:50
|
|
hearing. Is that what I understand, OK.
|
00:15:55
|
|
Then uh.
|
00:16:00
|
|

|
|
Having a motion in a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you, Kaylee.

|
00:18:09
|
|
I'll second that Mr. Chair having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries on to 3C.
|
00:18:14
|
|
Information, discussion Action to consider a liquor license application Counting number Lol.
|
00:18:24
|
|
And there are two 3-16.
|
00:18:31
|
|
Submitted by Carol Mace for a location requalification of a series.
|
00:18:33
|
|
007 Beer and wine license at Rock House River Ranch.
|
00:18:39
|
|
5732 N Highway 288 Globe.
|
00:18:44
|
|
And issue a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.
|
00:18:48
|
|
Whether the license should be granted.
|
00:18:53
|
|
And.
|
00:18:56
|
|
I'm sorry, I just read all that for you, didn't I?
|
00:18:58
|
|
Sam, you can go on with it.
|
00:19:00
|
|
Thank you.
|
00:19:04
|
|
As stated, this is a location requalification for Series 7 beer and wine bar, liquor store license or liquor license application
|
00:19:06
|
|
for the Rock House River Ranch located in Globe. The county does have an internal review process whereby the treasurer reviews the
|
00:19:11
|
|
application and ensures that the applicant is current on property tax payments for all properties owned in Health County.
|
00:19:17
|
|
The health department and building permitting Park department both review the application. To date, there have been no issues
|
00:19:23
|
|
reported for the Rock House River Ranch relevant to the liquor license.
|
00:19:28
|
|
Location requalification is a liquor license application that the county does not see very often. Miss Mace has a unique situation
|
00:19:33
|
|
for the license due to the delayed construction of her establishment.
|
00:19:38
|
|
On September 11th, 2019, Miss Carol Mace applied for an owner transfer of the Series 7 beer and wine bar license for the Rockhouse
|
00:19:43
|
|
River Ranch, which the Board of Supervisors recommended approval of on November 5th, 2019.
|
00:19:49
|
|
Miss Mace was issued a Series 7 beer and wine bar licensed by the Arizona Department of Liquor Licensing and Control following
|
00:19:56
|
|
that November 5th POS meeting.
|
00:20:00
|
|
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Miss Mace was not able to progress the construction of the Rockhouse River Ranch establishment or
|
00:20:04
|
|
use the liquor license. Therefore, the DLC Department of Liquor Licenses is requesting that the Board of Supervisors redo the
|
00:20:09
|
|
local Governing Body recommendation form and issue a recommendation on whether the license should be granted. Her estimated
|
00:20:14
|
|
completion for construction is June of 2025. The Clerk of the Board's Office recommends to proceed with the public hearing and I
|
00:20:20
|
|
have.
|
00:20:25
|
|
Can take any questions.
|
00:20:31
|
|
Thank you, Sam. Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:20:32
|
|
Mr. Chair, I have no questions, but I do have a comment at at first.
|
00:20:35
|
|
The.
|
00:20:41
|
|
You know, I've visited with staff and as Mason.
|
00:20:42
|
|
And they thought that it was going to be opened and and the building is not ready to to be open.
|
00:20:44
|
|
But but at this time, she's not applying to open it. When when she purchased it, the the license was on hold. It wasn't being
|
00:20:50
|
|
operated at that time.
|
00:20:55
|
|
And so it's been a length of time that the state wants to.
|
00:21:00
|
|
Of.
|
00:21:05
|
|
To reapply for that and and she still wants to keep that on hold. So I I think it's a great thing The Rock house had been
|
00:21:06
|
|
operating forever.
|
00:21:11
|
|
And and I think when she is able to do construction.
|
00:21:16
|
|
That, that then it'll come back before us, but then.
|
00:21:19
|
|
Public works and and the planning and zoning and everyone will then look at the building closer. But right now there's there's no
|
00:21:23
|
|
need for any of that because it's just just to keep it.
|
00:21:28
|
|
Active.
|
00:21:35
|
|
About on hold.
|
00:21:36
|
|
Supervisor Christiansen. And no questions and neither do I. But I do have a comment. And I really want to thank Carol Mace for all
|
00:21:38
|
|
the work that they've done there. And there has been. Hang on just a minute. Yeah, come on up. Carol, I have to apologize. I am
|
00:21:44
|
|
completely hearing impaired at this point in my life. I never heard a word you said or any of you. I apologize. But I will tell
|
00:21:50
|
|
you something about myself.
|
00:21:56
|
|
I was raised in this area. Globe, Miami.
|
00:22:02
|
|
I raised my family here. We I married my husband Bob. He ran the airport at Globe for.
|
00:22:05
|
|
Years with his father before him.
|
00:22:11
|
|
So we spent.
|
00:22:13
|
|
Our entire life in this community. But when the the.
|
00:22:15
|
|
The county, I guess in the city, decided to let go of the airport. It went back to the Indian tribe. We stayed there for several
|
00:22:20
|
|
more years and then we left and moved to Globe and opened our business down there. I'm a commercial, I'm a pilot, I'm a multi
|
00:22:26
|
|
engine writing. My husband's all rated helicopters, everything. All of us, my whole family.
|
00:22:32
|
|
Uh, we're in the airplane business and and Mesa. You can go to our website.
|
00:22:38
|
|
Www.maceaviation.com.
|
00:22:44
|
|
And you'll see what we do. I was a builder in Gold Canyon. I had two communities. I had a.
|
00:22:48
|
|
A town home community and a custom home community.
|
00:22:53
|
|
I built.
|
00:22:57
|
|
Had 22 locks in each of those build. Those are all built out. I think there's a few empty lots that someone bought.
|
00:22:58
|
|
I didn't sell them to him, but anyway.
|
00:23:06
|
|
So I've been in the building business my whole life.
|
00:23:09
|
|
And my husband and I have also ran our aviation business. I saw that property out there and completely fell in love with it. But I
|
00:23:11
|
|
have to say that every time I drive by there, I kept saying Oh my God.
|
00:23:17
|
|
This place really looks terrible and there's some that work well, so we got busy and we cleaned the place up.
|
00:23:23
|
|
However, those weeds don't stop growing. They continue to grow. And when it rained like it did this last season.
|
00:23:31
|
|
We literally spent our whole life mowing. I did anyway. My daughter and I mowing weeds.
|
00:23:38
|
|
But we've stopped mowing. When it got hot, we were afraid we're going to set the the field behind us on fire.
|
00:23:44
|
|
Because there was fires all over the place. But anyway we look forward to developing that property.
|
00:23:51
|
|
And it's going to be very similar to what it is now, but a very upgraded version of it. And so that's our plan for that property.
|
00:23:57
|
|
And I apologize that I didn't hear anything you said.
|
00:24:03
|
|
Ohh, yes. I'll be good in that bar. I'll get a bunch of guys in there drinking. I won't hear a word. There you go. Yeah, that's
|
00:24:09
|
|
perfect.
|
00:24:12
|
|
I've never run a bar before, I'll tell you that. Well, first time for everything. Well, thank you so much and I want to thank you
|
00:24:17
|
|
guys for what you've done down there.
|
00:24:21
|
|
I can't.
|
00:24:25
|
|
Come up because they'll be on record anyway. I just wanted to make sure and thank you and your husband for what you're doing up.
|
00:24:26
|
|
Does look way better than it did.
|
00:24:32
|
|
I've never worked so hard in my whole life, but I have to say that I've enjoyed it more than anything I've ever done. Yeah.
|
00:24:35
|
|
Thank you.
|
00:24:41
|
|
From my house.
|
00:24:43
|
|
Yes you do.
|
00:24:47
|
|
Alright.
|
00:24:51
|
|
Forget there. I'll open the public hearing now.
|
00:24:52
|
|
And.
|
00:24:55
|
|
We'll we'll start with Globe and Globe's done. So we'll go to pacing through everybody and pace and Joseph.
|
00:24:56
|
|
We're good. So with that, I'd entertain a motion.
|
00:25:02
|
|
I'll close, close the public hearing and entertain a motion.
|
00:25:05
|
|
Mr. I moved to recommend.
|
00:25:08
|
|
To the Arizona Department of Liquor Licensing Control.
|
00:25:10
|
|
To approve the liquor license application submitted by Carol Mace for the Rock House River Ranch.
|
00:25:14
|
|
I will second that having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye motion carries.
|
00:25:21
|
|
Yeah.
|
00:25:27
|
|
All right. So we're done with presentations. We'll go on to regular agenda items.
|
00:25:28
|
|
4A.

00:25:34
|
|
Information Discussion Action to elect a Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
|
00:25:36
|
|
For a term of 16 months which will become effective.
|
00:25:42
|
|
Immediately after the October 3rd today's meeting, Board of Supervisors regular meeting and James.
|
00:25:45
|
|
This chair remembers the board.
|
00:25:52
|
|
It has been our typical common practice as the vote for the Board of Supervisors to have a rotating.
|
00:25:54
|
|
Chairmanship for the Board of Supervisors.
|
00:26:00
|
|
Of approximately equal length of time for the four year term that each of you are elected.
|
00:26:03
|
|
Uh.
|
00:26:10
|
|
That term was for.
|
00:26:11
|
|
This election cycle to ours, Humphrey was the Chairman from January 20, January 1st, 2021 through April 30th, 2022.
|
00:26:13
|
|
So I decline Chair Recline has been from May 2022 through till now.
|
00:26:23
|
|
And it's for your consideration.
|
00:26:28
|
|
That uh.
|
00:26:31
|
|
To determine if you would like to select a new chairman.
|
00:26:33
|
|
And to have that opportunity for this last third of this election cycle.
|
00:26:36
|
|
Change. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Comments, Questions, discussions.
|
00:26:42
|
|
OK.
|
00:26:47
|
|
You know the there's a lot of thought that goes into something like this and.
|
00:26:49
|
|
And a lot of work, especially when you have pandemics and fires and things like that going on.
|
00:26:53
|
|
So yeah, there's a.
|
00:26:59
|
|
There's just a lot of thought that goes into it, but.
|
00:27:02
|
|
I I believe that.
|
00:27:06
|
|
I I've been chairman several times since you've been chairman several times and.
|
00:27:09
|
|
And I I I think that.
|
00:27:14
|
|
Bends it supervisor Christian has not been chair.
|
00:27:17
|
|
As of yet, and has had his seat for a while.
|
00:27:21
|
|
Mr. Chair, I would probably like to nominate Supervisor Christian for chairman.
|
00:27:25
|
|
And I for coaching.
|
00:27:30
|
|
Supervisor Christensen, Are you ready?
|
00:27:33
|
|
I don't know, but I will second that motion. I'm gonna say if he doesn't know, I'll change it.
|
00:27:36
|
|
That's why I'm asking. We have time.
|
00:27:44
|
|
Yeah, I'd be happy to serve in any capacity.
|
00:27:47
|
|
Than anyone asked me to And so I'll second that motion that was. Well, hang on there for a minute. You'll get your chance here
|
00:27:50
|
|
real shortly. I did. I I like, I like the 16 month rotation. You know prior to us coming on the board, I believe the chairmanship
|
00:27:55
|
|
set in one position for a long time.
|
00:28:01
|
|
Whatever the reasons was I I don't care. But but since we've been on the board, I do feel like it's.
|
00:28:08
|
|
It's only fair that we each have a shot at it and there is added responsibilities.
|
00:28:13
|
|
The the one thing that I will say and and from my standpoint in particular.
|
00:28:18
|
|
You know, chairmanship is just about this meeting. That's really all it is.
|
00:28:23
|
|
I mean, there's times when you'll get a phone call to work on an issue or whatever, but.
|
00:28:27
|
|
But it doesn't give anyone of us any extra powers. It doesn't.
|
00:28:32
|
|
And it still comes. Everything comes down to the majority of the board.
|
00:28:37
|
|
And so.
|
00:28:40
|
|
But I think with that being said, I think it's fair that we all have an equal share in the chairmanship and.
|
00:28:41
|
|
And and it's good experience. It really is. I mean you.
|
00:28:47
|
|
You you deal with a few things that you wouldn't maybe normally deal with, but overall it's a good experience. So I'm I'm glad
|
00:28:51
|
|
that the 16 month rotation and the way it's been going.
|
00:28:55
|
|
I know we we held Steve back when it first started to Steve was known as position.
|
00:29:00
|
|
Remember he he would have stepped right straight into the chairmanship at the time and.
|
00:29:06
|
|
And we just switched, you know, basically me around.
|
00:29:10
|
|
And to do that so.
|
00:29:14
|
|
So I'm game beneficial. Ohh. Well I I'm pretty sure it was, you know, because I could. I could only go back to tell you when I
|
00:29:16
|
|
first stepped on this board, I was totally lost.
|
00:29:21
|
|
You know, and probably still AM today to some extent.
|
00:29:26
|
|
So, you know, I'm saying, yeah, yeah, so, so anyway, James, Chairman, I I just want to express appreciation to each of you.
|
00:29:29
|
|
As.
|
00:29:39
|
|
Elected representatives of HeLa County.
|
00:29:40
|
|
You're the ones that control.
|
00:29:43
|
|
The financial things which you have to allocate dollars to do absolutely anything.
|
00:29:44
|
|
I I'm appreciative to each of you for your sacrifice.
|
00:29:49
|
|
The one is to step out and be in public.
|
00:29:53
|
|
And represent and be the face of Heela County, so.
|
00:29:56
|
|
Umm.
|
00:29:59
|
|
I I appreciate each of you.
|
00:30:01
|
|
Thank you, James. Yes, Sir. And and one more thing it you know.
|
00:30:03
|
|
And a lot of these agenda meetings and things that come on the agenda and people that have tried to get on the agenda know that
|
00:30:07
|
|
it's sometimes difficult and takes time to get on the agenda.
|
00:30:12
|
|
And so a chairman and and.
|
00:30:17
|
|
And James.
|
00:30:20
|
|
County manager. They're the ones that that kind of figure what's going on, the agenda.
|
00:30:22
|
|
And so it's nice to work with a board instead of one person being chairman all the time.
|
00:30:27
|
|
It gives us like if I have a a something that I really would like to get on the agenda or some of my constituents do.
|
00:30:33
|
|
Then that will help.
|
00:30:40
|
|
Me.
|
00:30:41
|
|
Get things on the agenda.
|
00:30:42
|
|
And so it's nice to work with a board that we do work for our constituents and willing to to pass this around so.
|
00:30:44
|
|
If the people in Young really are asking something.
|
00:30:53
|
|
Then you can help with the people of patient in that area or like my district so.
|
00:30:56
|
|
It's great to work for a board that we don't.
|
00:31:01
|
|
We don't mind sharing and working together.
|
00:31:04
|
|
For the betterment of the county.
|
00:31:06
|
|
Thank you for that team cause you're right and one thing I will say whether.
|
00:31:08
|
|
You know, I feel like as a board we do work very well together and there's times we disagree and there's think things that we vote
|
00:31:13
|
|
differently.
|
00:31:16
|
|
But overall we do work good together and.
|
00:31:20
|
|
And all that and so and I've always felt like whether there's an agenda item that me as chair agreed with or not.
|
00:31:23
|
|
It would come up.
|
00:31:30
|
|
In in this group for discussion because I'm.
|
00:31:31
|
|
I'm not the one to sit there and say yay, nay or whatever on on things.
|
00:31:35
|
|
Like that it's it's up to our board to do that and then the majority rule so. So I think as Chairman shift that's really, really
|
00:31:39
|
|
important to keep in mind but you know you know the other thing you know if you think back to the time we were.
|
00:31:46
|
|
Really having issues with the contracts and getting things.
|
00:31:53
|
|
Moving basically.
|
00:31:57
|
|
And our processes, you know, the Chairman has the ability to call special meetings working with the clerk of the board.
|
00:31:59
|
|
Which were were?
|
00:32:06
|
|
We have a plus there since James is Kirk to the board and manager to boot. So that's that was something that really came to light
|
00:32:08
|
|
with me this last 16 months that that is a big help.
|
00:32:13
|
|
On that Not that we did a lot of it, but.
|
00:32:19
|
|
But it could happen so.
|
00:32:22
|
|
There's no discussions about cultural emotion.
|
00:32:24
|
|
Mr. Chair, I move to appoint Steve Christianson as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and appoint Tim Humphrey as Vice Chair.
|
00:32:27
|
|
Of the Board of Supervisors that will second that having a motion and second all in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye,
|
00:32:36
|
|
motion carries. Thank you, James.
|
00:32:40
|
|
OK, moving on to B I'll need a motion to recess as the Hennepin County Board of Supervisors.
|
00:32:45
|
|
And convene as a Helix County Board of Deposit.
|
00:32:52
|
|
So move chairman having a motion.
|
00:32:56
|
|
Motion in a second. All in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries.
|
00:32:59
|
|
And Marin.
|
00:33:05
|
|
Good morning. Good morning. Chairman, Chairman and Vice Chairman, right.
|
00:33:07
|
|
For today, at least.
|
00:33:12

For the purchase of 1.

00:34:54
|
|
2023 Ford F-350 4x4 cabin chassis as outlined in the specifications. David, good morning.
|
00:34:56
|
|
Morning, UH Morning, Chairman, members of the board. So as you just read, well, we're seeking approval to your state contracts,
|
00:35:04
|
|
Ctr. 059323.
|
00:35:08
|
|
To purchase a new 2023 Ford F-350 chassis cab from San Tan. This truck will be outfitted with the custom.
|
00:35:14
|
|
Fiberglass dog bed.
|
00:35:21
|
|
This truck will be used by the Health Department's Animal Control Division.
|
00:35:23
|
|
For the purpose of transporting animals and the other various duties that they are assigned.
|
00:35:27
|
|
The total cost of this vehicle is $115,410.29.
|
00:35:33
|
|
And to prevent increasing the size of the fleet, they will be turning in vehicle B204 which is a 2011.
|
00:35:39
|
|
Ford F-150 with 177,059 miles.
|
00:35:46
|
|
This vehicle has exceeded one out of the three parameters used to determine replacement and is close to exceeding the 2nd.
|
00:35:51
|
|
I do have if you have any further questions, I do have both John Castaneda and Paula Horne live from the TCM building.
|
00:35:59
|
|
Free Indeed. Further questions. Perfect, David.
|
00:36:08
|
|
Supervisor Humphrey questions comments.
|
00:36:11
|
|
Well, I got comments and questions. My first comment is we probably should get 2 trucks for that amount.
|
00:36:14
|
|
That that's a lot of money. Yeah, that's my comment and and my question is?
|
00:36:20
|
|
Is are are you pulling trailers or something with that truck? I'm just wondering why we need a three quarter ton vehicle?
|
00:36:26
|
|
Today I can answer that. So yeah, we're going to be hauling our our mobile unit that we have right now. It's a mobile trailer.
|
00:36:34
|
|
We've had a lot of issues with the.
|
00:36:39
|
|
Um, the trucks that we are using right now, they overheat.
|
00:36:44
|
|
I'm pulling our trailer and we've had to pull over with animals in the back of the trailer.
|
00:36:49
|
|
We've had the cost staff to use their personal vehicles to come.
|
00:36:54
|
|
And get our trailer and continue on to the event that they're going to. During the fires we've had to use the our personal
|
00:36:57
|
|
vehicles to to pull horse trailers. We've had to pull a flatbed trailers to move hay from one area to another. So in our the
|
00:37:05
|
|
trucks that we're using right now are just not equipped to do that.
|
00:37:12
|
|
And so we are having some issues with that.
|
00:37:21
|
|
Umm.
|
00:37:25
|
|
Mr. Yeah, Thank thank you very much. We, we do a great job. We're not good at telling great stories.
|
00:37:26
|
|
And so sometimes I ask questions to expand on, on actually what you're doing.
|
00:37:31
|
|
And so thank you very much and and it shows how much you do do.
|
00:37:36
|
|
And have used personal vehicles.
|
00:37:41
|
|
Because you you didn't have the proper proper equipment, I still think we should have two for that cost, but thank you very much
|
00:37:44
|
|
and I do believe that's real justified.
|
00:37:48
|
|
Supervisor Christensen, thank you. I just comment I, I talked to David earlier, so I kind of understand what we're doing. So thank
|
00:37:53
|
|
you, David.
|
00:37:57
|
|
Dude, I got a question for you. I'm not, I'm not hammering on you or anybody, but you know, we bought those 350 dump trucks.
|
00:38:03
|
|
And they're over overloaded, even though you guys have beefed up the suspensions a little bit on them.
|
00:38:11
|
|
What would be the opportunity of taking and and changing this to a 550 and then take one of those three 50s out of public works
|
00:38:17
|
|
and give it to the animal?
|
00:38:21
|
|
And then we have an adequate truck for those.
|
00:38:25
|
|
Spreaders.
|
00:38:27
|
|
I mean that that could be doable, but I'd have to.
|
00:38:32
|
|
Figure out who would be doing it because at the moment we don't have the staff to do it.
|
00:38:35
|
|
Or the time. So I mean that could potentially be an option that we could look at. My thought is for 115,000. I can't imagine that
|
00:38:40
|
|
a 550 cabin chassis would be much more than that. It shouldn't be.
|
00:38:47
|
|
And then we can take those four 50s that.
|
00:38:55
|
|
Or three 50s that you purchased. They don't have very many miles on them.
|
00:38:59
|
|
And we just roll one of those into your animal control folks.
|
00:39:03
|
|
If I if I can add something real quick the the cabin chassis, but that includes the the the new cab that's going to go on the back
|
00:39:08
|
|
of that animal control truck here.
|
00:39:13
|
|
Cool. I mean, that ain't coming with the truck that's gonna be coming probably from another vendor or some.
|
00:39:19
|
|
Or a roundabout way.
|
00:39:25
|
|
But but no, no worries there. He's still going one of those one of those three 50s that we have.
|
00:39:27
|
|
We're running those, those, those spreaders in public works on the highways, on their their marginal. They will work. I will say
|
00:39:33
|
|
that they are marginal when it comes to weight.
|
00:39:38
|
|
And and the other big difference that, well, what we're asking for here is actually a crew cap.
|
00:39:44
|
|
And the trucks that the, the roads department currently has are single cab. So with the Crew Cab, obviously you can sometimes we
|
00:39:49
|
|
don't get everything we want, David, this is true. But yeah, you know that's what we were requesting and we were requesting Crew
|
00:39:54
|
|
Cab.
|
00:39:58
|
|
Just for.
|
00:40:03
|
|
The option to at home more.
|
00:40:04
|
|
Staffing.
|
00:40:06
|
|
I guess the word right so but.
|
00:40:07
|
|
That's what all the. I mean the issues. John might have a really big pet dog that needs to be at the next Crew Cab, but maybe not.
|
00:40:10
|
|
I don't know. So.
|
00:40:14
|
|
So anyway, I wanted to throw that out there on the table for as an idea because that is a way.
|
00:40:21
|
|
We can avoid an issue with what we have and we still have really good trucks sitting there as well.
|
00:40:26
|
|
Comments or questions from the boards that provide the Humphrey.
|
00:40:33
|
|
I'm. I'm good. I've made my comments. Thanks.
|
00:40:37
|
|
To propose a Christian. So the other thing I would say is if we, if we go ahead and approve this.
|
00:40:39
|
|
With the caveat that David would look into.
|
00:40:45
|
|
What your?
|
00:40:49
|
|
Asking.
|
00:40:51
|
|
And see whether or not we could change.
|
00:40:52
|
|
Later.
|
00:40:57
|
|
Have a report on that. Go ahead and move through this motion.
|
00:40:58
|
|
And then have him report back whether or not we should I change it. I don't think we should do that. I think we should make a
|
00:41:01
|
|
decision, we buy a 350 or we buy a 550.
|
00:41:06
|
|
And we averted an issue with our 350.
|
00:41:12
|
|
Or we go ahead and and and keep them like they are and run with the animal control rig.
|
00:41:15
|
|
Because I mean the options are there, they David knows that five 50s are out there and.
|
00:41:21
|
|
And all that.
|
00:41:26
|
|
OK. Then that another question for me. OK.
|
00:41:28
|
|
You say we don't have the staff, we don't.
|
00:41:32
|
|
We don't have the talent or we don't have the numbers. We don't have the numbers.
|
00:41:35
|
|
OK, so.
|
00:41:40
|
|
If we did change a motion, then animal control would do without.
|
00:41:42
|
|
Because we don't have the people to put together.
|
00:41:47
|
|
Your recommendation?
|
00:41:50
|
|
From what I understand, so my understanding Homeric can correct me if I'm wrong. From or David Cantu, but.
|
00:41:52
|
|
We have vendors out there that can do this. If we don't have it in house, I'll guarantee you there's somebody here.
|
00:41:59
|
|
Here very close that can switch a unit around.
|
00:42:05
|
|
Yeah, I I definitely do. I could find someone to. What we would have to do is remove the bed from the current one, and then we'd
|
00:42:08
|
|
have to actually somehow figure out how to shift this to I I can't remember.
|
00:42:13
|
|
Umm.
|
00:42:20
|
|
When we bought one, if we were to buy this truck here, it would be drop shipped to this facility and I can't remember if it's in
|
00:42:22
|
|
Oklahoma. Do you remember, John?
|
00:42:26
|
|
I think it is Oklahoma. I'm not sure.
|
00:42:31
|
|
So it would be drop shipped to that location. So we would have to find a vendor to remove all of our stuff.
|
00:42:33
|
|
And then we would have to.
|
00:42:39
|
|
Somehow get it transported to this vendor. Do we not have a vendor in Arizona, David?
|
00:42:41
|
|
That does this custom dog stuff, no? Why do we need custom dog stuff?
|
00:42:47
|
|
Those, those, those channels or those units on the back of those trucks are made by a manufacturer somewhere that can be shipped
|
00:42:51
|
|
to some other.
|
00:42:55
|
|
Outfit whatever state there is to put this together. To my knowledge there's there's two big companies in the United States that
|
00:43:00
|
|
do these custom like dog boxes ones in Florida.
|
00:43:05
|
|
And the other ones like in I think it's Oklahoma, I'd have to double check on that.
|
00:43:11
|
|
But they're built.
|
00:43:15
|
|
Custom from the ground up so when they received the truck they start building the bed. It's they don't just build the bed and ship
|
00:43:17
|
|
it to you.
|
00:43:20
|
|
And these and these care, this climate control in the back of these things. So they're not out in the the sun and the heat and you
|
00:43:25
|
|
know, cold, snow, rain and stuff like that. They're all climate controlled in the back. So you're telling me that every animal
|
00:43:33
|
|
control unit we see in the state of Arizona is put together in Florida, Oklahoma, some other place?
|
00:43:40
|
|
For real.
|
00:43:48
|
|
Yes, Sir.
|
00:43:49
|
|
Homer.
|
00:43:52
|
|
Help me here because I'm having a pretty rough time right now.
|
00:43:53
|
|
This is what the the Good morning Chairman and board members sorry that I didn't.
|
00:44:00
|
|
Great, you are here.
|
00:44:04
|
|
Umm.
|
00:44:06
|
|
This is what we do at the board meetings. We even though it's not a work session, we you get to make a decision based on the input
|
00:44:08
|
|
that that that we provide and the information we provide and unfortunately.
|
00:44:13
|
|
We we don't have a good answer for the for the good suggestion that the chairman has has made.
|
00:44:19
|
|
OK.
|
00:44:24
|
|
Is Can we swap these vehicles?
|
00:44:25
|
|
On the one hand, if we allow, if we buy a 550 that'll be using her money, we have her money so available to do that.
|
00:44:27
|
|
It would increase the capacity of what health can do with that vehicle.
|
00:44:35
|
|
We would have a 350 that's already here that we wouldn't have to buy that we could then equip. We just have to find the vendors
|
00:44:39
|
|
that are able to make that those those.
|
00:44:44
|
|
Those changes.
|
00:44:49
|
|
We were going to use vendors to make those changes. As it is, we're buying something that's used by animal control in many places
|
00:44:51
|
|
of the United States and we were going to have someone equip the truck with that.
|
00:44:56
|
|
I think it's fair for us to ask that this item be tabled.
|
00:45:02
|
|
Give us some time to think about this particular option and see how we go forward, OK?
|
00:45:06
|
|
So I, I, I I don't disagree. But one question for you guys is are we up against the window again when it comes, when it when it
|
00:45:12
|
|
would come to?
|
00:45:16
|
|
Purchasing A.
|
00:45:20
|
|
One of these vehicles.
|
00:45:21
|
|
Or is that kind of settled out no more open now at the start of the year?
|
00:45:24
|
|
You know, we were told it was back to normal order when you need to and do what you need to.
|
00:45:28
|
|
But now with UH.
|
00:45:33
|
|
The UAW striking.
|
00:45:34
|
|
I've been told that all orders are going to be affected.
|
00:45:37
|
|
Possibly all of this year and all of next year's orders.
|
00:45:40
|
|
Are probably going to be affected by this strike, so.
|
00:45:44
|
|
I've kind of the same thing. It's already started, so we may have time to decide this. We're out. I'm up for a motion.
|
00:45:47
|
|
I I have a question. Sure. I'm gonna make a motion.
|
00:45:57
|
|
So.
|
00:46:02
|
|
If we approve this, you'd have to order the truck today.
|
00:46:03
|
|
Or this week, Yeah. And and how long would it take to get here?
|
00:46:07
|
|
With the strike going on, I I don't know that anyone could give me an honest answer. OK, so so if if we ordered one today, we
|
00:46:12
|
|
don't know when we're gonna get it.
|
00:46:16
|
|
I believe that's correct and and and if you worked on the the transfer that.
|
00:46:21
|
|
Supervisor Klein.
|
00:46:27
|
|
Ask you to look at how how long would it take you to?
|
00:46:29
|
|
To come up with whether you could or couldn't or cost difference or.
|
00:46:33
|
|
Availability and that kind of stuff.
|
00:46:38
|
|
Not sure but.
|
00:46:42
|
|
I could work on it.
|
00:46:44
|
|
I know.
|
00:46:47
|
|
Give me a couple of weeks I could probably come up with.
|
00:46:48
|
|
See if I can even find the vendor that'd be willing to take this on OK.
|
00:46:51
|
|
OK, well that that's why I'm asking because.
|
00:46:55
|
|
If if it's only a couple weeks and we don't know when we get the truck, if we ordered it anyway.
|
00:46:59
|
|
Then that would give two weeks of time.
|
00:47:05
|
|
To at least look at the the recommendation.
|
00:47:08
|
|
All right.
|
00:47:12
|
|
And and so.
|
00:47:14
|
|
I guess with that question I'll give a motion in my supervisor.
|
00:47:18
|
|
Go ahead, Christianson would care to.
|
00:47:22
|
|
Mr. Chair, I'm I move to table this item until our next meeting.
|
00:47:25
|
|
To get a report.
|
00:47:30
|
|
And John, thank you and we will help you with the truck if I could in my opinion.
|
00:47:32
|
|
And and we're just, we're just not sure where, when or how long it'll take us to get that.
|
00:47:37
|
|
OK.
|
00:47:42
|
|
OK. I will second that having a motion. And second, all in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. David. Thank
|
00:47:44
|
|
you. Thank you. On to the information discussion, action to approve Amendment #1.

|
|
The last, the last time we did it, we we we selected the Traffic Safety Incorporated to provide this service last year we spent.
|
00:49:09
|
|
$124,000 on on traffic marking and we expect to spend.
|
00:49:18
|
|
A similar amount this year and therefore we're asking for the 150 not to exceed 150.
|
00:49:22
|
|
Alright, so it's at the recommendation for the public works.
|
00:49:28
|
|
That the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment #1 contract number 06/03/22.
|
00:49:32
|
|
For uncle pavement marking with Traffic Safety incorporated for amount not to exceed $150,000, I'm happy to answer questions.
|
00:49:38
|
|
Thank you, Homer, Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:49:43
|
|
I'm just glad to hear that we're going to be doing some chip sealing or roads that we're going to need striping for.
|
00:49:48
|
|
I I I'm excited about that. So, yeah, that's all I have. Supervisor Christensen. Yeah, I have no comments. Thanks and I'm good too
|
00:49:54
|
|
as well. So I'd entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll move to approve amendment number one to contract number 060322 with Traffic
|
00:49:59
|
|
Safety Incorporated.
|
00:50:04
|
|
Any amount of $150,000 or not to exceed $150,000.
|
00:50:10
|
|
As presented, Mr. Chair, on second thought having a motion, and second all in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye aye Motion
|
00:50:14
|
|
carries on to E Information Discussion Action to adopt Resolution #23-09-06.
|
00:50:22
|
|
Authorizing the execution of an intergovernmental agreement AG contract number.
|
00:50:29
|
|
P00 One 202-300-0948.
|
00:50:34
|
|
With the State of Arizona acting through its Department of Transportation, allowing for distribution of appropriate state surplus
|
00:50:41
|
|
funds.
|
00:50:45
|
|
In the amount of $243,000 or $243,600 to be used on the highway safety improvement project on Houston Mesa Rd. Homero.
|
00:50:49
|
|
Thank you.
|
00:51:02
|
|
This project is to provide 5 foot shoulders and install centerline and edge line shoulder rumble strips on 4 1/2 miles from
|
00:51:03
|
|
Houston Mesa Rd.
|
00:51:08
|
|
It uses a Highway Safety Improvement Program funding for the most part.
|
00:51:13
|
|
Um, and we don't have a final estimate from the engineer.
|
00:51:17
|
|
At this point in time, we if we were presenting all that information later on.
|
00:51:21
|
|
But we do know that we've asked the a doctor to help us with additional funding, knowing that it's gonna be more than the original
|
00:51:26
|
|
budget.
|
00:51:29
|
|
And actually a doc came through with $243,000. Sixty $243,600.
|
00:51:34
|
|
To help us fund any additional.
|
00:51:41
|
|
UH, inflation related expenditures that we will have on Houston Mesa Rd.
|
00:51:44
|
|
The 8 dot is an initiative that they knew that the the budget.
|
00:51:49
|
|
Worth.
|
00:51:54
|
|
Inadequate and on the on their own pursue this money for us and and brought this to us and so that's a kind of partnership
|
00:51:56
|
|
sometimes that we we find that they that we appreciate that.
|
00:52:02
|
|
So.
|
00:52:07
|
|
With that, we'd like for the board to approve this. Enter this IGA.
|
00:52:08
|
|
For Houston Mesa Rd. Improvement Project.
|
00:52:15
|
|
Thank you, Homer. Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:52:19
|
|
I have no questions. Mr. Chair, Regent Fishing. Thank you. No questions.
|
00:52:22
|
|
Yeah, that's a good deal, Homer. Thank you for all that. And with that, I'd entertain a motion this year. I moved to adopt
|
00:52:26
|
|
resolution #23-09-06. I will second have a motion in a second. All in favor to do so by saying aye, aye, aye. Motion carries on to
|
00:52:32
|
|
F information, discussion, action to approve contract number.
|
00:52:39
|
|
Ctr. 063953.
|
00:52:46
|
|
Where Santic Consulting Services incorporated to provide engineering design services for the Monroe St. improvement Project in the
|
00:52:49
|
|
amount not to exceed.
|
00:52:54
|
|
123.
|
00:53:00
|
|
$1495.51 Homer, you're it again.
|
00:53:02
|
|
Thank you, Chairman.
|
00:53:07
|
|
All of you know in order to leave the parking lot from from the board.
|
00:53:10
|
|
Chamber here and and the courthouse and make a left hand turn on Ash St. You need to you're you're not allowed to do that. You
|
00:53:15
|
|
need to use Monroe St.
|
00:53:18
|
|
Monroe St. has a significant problem with it, a line of sight because of the hill.
|
00:53:23
|
|
That doesn't let you see oncoming traffic, and it has an immediate stop right after the hill.
|
00:53:28
|
|
The county has in the past looked to see what they could do with Monroe St. and actually have started some engineering and funded
|
00:53:33
|
|
some engineering projects in the past.
|
00:53:37
|
|
Uh, we we want we could we work with Stantec Consulting. They're under state contract. They've done other work here. They're doing
|
00:53:42
|
|
the work for BHP and the hospital, the roundabout, they did the sidewalk work for for Golden Hill. They're reputable, good
|
00:53:47
|
|
company.
|
00:53:52
|
|
And we would like to use them.
|
00:53:59
|
|
The work would include changes to that road elevation, reduce the hill as much as possible and to blend it in with the adjacent
|
00:54:01
|
|
parking lots, especially the one on Guerrero, the Guerrero building.
|
00:54:06
|
|
And provide access through the parking lot adjacent to the courthouse.
|
00:54:12
|
|
Umm.
|
00:54:18
|
|
The.
|
00:54:20
|
|
They will be using the work that has been done in the past, but it's done by an engineering firm that is no longer functioning.
|
00:54:21
|
|
How much of that they can use? Various Besides the road elevation, there's keystone walls that need to be built to retain the wall
|
00:54:28
|
|
adjacent through Monroe St.
|
00:54:33
|
|
And there is some.
|
00:54:38
|
|
Significant sewer lines that need to be relocated.
|
00:54:40
|
|
And and and therefore the cost is up $123,495.51 to do the engineering design.
|
00:54:45
|
|
And uh, we've worked with county manager.
|
00:54:54
|
|
Mr. Mandela.
|
00:54:57
|
|
And he has offered to be Monroe Street. By the way, it's a county maintained Rd.
|
00:54:58
|
|
And and it is on our records as a county maintained road and it's been like that for a long time.
|
00:55:04
|
|
But because we are doing work on, on, on, on some accesses to the parking lot and because it is a safety issue for county
|
00:55:10
|
|
employees and others that visit us.
|
00:55:14
|
|
A county manager has agreed to help fund 50% of this design project.
|
00:55:19
|
|
And and with that, we'd like to request board approval so that we can proceed with this improvement to our facilities. Thank you,
|
00:55:24
|
|
Homer. Supervisor Humphrey.
|
00:55:28
|
|
Yeah, Omar, with with retaining all on the uphill and downhill side, we can be able to widen that road any by dropping the
|
00:55:34
|
|
elevation.
|
00:55:38
|
|
We can we can certainly consider that as part of the yeah, because right now it's really narrow and like you say when you come
|
00:55:43
|
|
over you can't see and sometimes it it's really.
|
00:55:48
|
|
Really difficult and and and it's not.
|
00:55:53
|
|
It's not very wide for the drop that it has, so.
|
00:55:56
|
|
I was just wondering, you know, I don't know where our easements are on that, but I would.
|
00:55:59
|
|
Hopefully they're they're wider than that road area is.
|
00:56:04
|
|
And if we're going to do retaining walls, it would be nice to be able to.
|
00:56:07
|
|
To widen that as well, thank you, we will design.
|
00:56:11
|
|
Of course.
|
00:56:16
|
|
Kind of has been started, but it hasn't been started. We have a design from someone else, but there's no no engineering firm.
|
00:56:18
|
|
We'll take that design and put their stamp on it. So they need to do their work and the suggestion.
|
00:56:23
|
|
To maximize the width of Monroe Street is it's a very good one and we'll take that back to as part of their.
|
00:56:28
|
|
To Do List.
|
00:56:35
|
|
Thank you, Homer. Thank you, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Christensen. Thank you, Chairman. I don't have any questions. I'm good as well
|
00:56:36
|
|
tomorrow. So with that, I'd entertain a motion.
|
00:56:40
|
|
Moved to approve contract agreement numbers Ctr. 063953 with Stantec Consulting Services Incorporated in the amount of $123,495.
|
00:56:45
|
|
And $0.51 as presented.
|
00:57:01
|
|
Mr. Chair, I'll second that having a motion and a second all in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries.
|
00:57:03
|
|
G Information Discussion Action for the Board of Supervisors by Unanimous Consent.
|
00:57:11
|
|
To approve the salary portion 1.56 acres of Heela County owned parcel number.
|
00:57:16
|
|
207-23-011K.
|
00:57:22
|
|
To Copper Valley Regional Medical Center, CV, RMC and amount of $9900.
|
00:57:27
|
|
Which is 90% of the appraised value and authorize the Chairman's signature on the related quick claim deed.
|
00:57:33
|
|
Conveying the property to Copper Valley, Homer.
|
00:57:41
|
|
Thank you.
|
00:57:44
|
|
Cobra Valley Regional Medical Center has expressed an interest in buying the 1.56 acres. It's a portion of APN 207-23 Zero 11K.
|
00:57:46
|
|
And there's a legal description in the in the board agenda item.
|
00:57:57
|
|
Exhibit A that shows that particular portion.
|
00:58:01
|
|
The intention for.
|
00:58:05
|
|
The Cobra Valley Regional Medical Center is to build a flood wall to protect the hospital infrastructure.
|
00:58:07
|
|
In the storm following the Telegraph Fire, they used the jersey barriers K rails.
|
00:58:13
|
|
To protect their site and it is at at that approximate location where they would be building the the flood wall.
|
00:58:19
|
|
Umm.
|
00:58:26
|
|
There's a legal statutes that guide us on selling real property to.
|
00:58:28
|
|
Nonprofits and government entities as well as private citizens.
|
00:58:34
|
|
And that's found in ARS 11251, paragraph 9.
|
00:58:39
|
|
And it requires that if the property for sale is a real property, the board shall have the property appraised by an appraiser who
|
00:58:44
|
|
is licensed or certified.
|
00:58:47
|
|
The appraiser shall establish our market value for the property. The minimum acceptable bid for the purchase of the property shall
|
00:58:52
|
|
be at least 90% of the market value.
|
00:58:57
|
|
It goes on to state that a county, with unanimous consent of the board and without public auction, may sell or lease any county
|
00:59:02
|
|
property for specific use.
|
00:59:06
|
|
Joining solely charitable, social or benevolent nonprofit organization.
|
00:59:11
|
|
Incorporator or operating in the state?
|
00:59:16
|
|
In in.
|
00:59:19
|
|
Cover Valley Regional Medical Center.
|
00:59:21
|
|
Satisfies the requirements of of of a nonprofit.
|
00:59:24
|
|
In addition to that, that paragraph 9 also requires that the board deems advantageous.
|
00:59:28
|
|
For the county for sale or the the.
|
00:59:34
|
|
Board deems unnecessary.
|
00:59:37
|
|
Or that the board deems unnecessary use by the county. That this property is not necessary for the county and it is advantageous
|
00:59:39
|
|
for the county to take this action that's not found in the board item. But I wanted to make sure that you understood that in
|
00:59:45
|
|
making this decision you're also making a decision that it is advantageous for us to do this and that it did and that that
|
00:59:51
|
|
property is unnecessary for use by the County.
|
00:59:57
|
|
So that property is in a floodplain.
|
01:00:03
|
|
It is also an erosion set back.
|
01:00:05
|
|
Area where you couldn't build.
|
01:00:08
|
|
If we we we use that property as as a way of.
|
01:00:11
|
|
Uh.
|
01:00:16
|
|
Managing the waters that throw.
|
01:00:18
|
|
Through that area.
|
01:00:21
|
|
Um.
|
01:00:22
|
|
The appraiser.
|
01:00:24
|
|
Realized that this was a floodway as well as in erosion, setback area and considered that in his appraisal.
|
01:00:26
|
|
And for all of these reasons.
|
01:00:36
|
|
Staff would like to recommend that the board approve the sale to Cobra Valley Regional Medical Center.
|
01:00:39
|
|
Are the 1.56 acres that are shown in the activity.
|
01:00:45
|
|
Thank you Homer. With that I will ask if if if you wanna do you have anything on Speak of Rally, I think. I think it's a.
|
01:00:49
|
|
That, you know, my opinion is a good deal, but you know, we'll go on. Supervisor Humphrey comments questions.
|
01:00:57
|
|
No, I I just almost embarrassed the selling this property to protect themselves. I know it floodwaters because we.
|
01:01:03
|
|
As a county could not get funding to help.
|
01:01:10
|
|
With any of that Russell area from rebuilding the road.
|
01:01:14
|
|
To protecting the APS, to protecting the hospitals, we've been unable to to obtain funding.
|
01:01:18
|
|
From the federal government to help us restructure our.
|
01:01:25
|
|
Our community that that we have to.
|
01:01:29
|
|
Sell property to an entity to protect themselves. Because we can't. And I I'm I'm embarrassed to do this, but I support it on it.
|
01:01:32
|
|
Do you want to say anything just because you're good?
|
01:01:43
|
|
Yeah, who would think that something so simple?
|
01:01:51
|
|
Could be so complicated. There's a couple hospital build a flood wall.
|
01:01:54
|
|
But as one writer, I read.
|
01:01:58
|
|
Said it was apparent when the.
|
01:02:01
|
|
Legislature.
|
01:02:03
|
|
Created the requirements for selling county property that they were afraid.
|
01:02:05
|
|
The county Board of Supervisors, we're going to give away county property to their friends.
|
01:02:09
|
|
And so they created the statute.
|
01:02:13
|
|
And that's what we have. We have to work within the framework of the statute that they gave us.
|
01:02:16
|
|
You wanna sell property?
|
01:02:21
|
|
There are a couple of things that I think would be good if you include in the motion what.
|
01:02:22
|
|
Romero said about.
|
01:02:26
|
|
That is either advantageous to the counter to sell it.
|
01:02:28
|
|
Whether the board games are necessary.
|
01:02:30
|
|
And also that is for the specific use.
|
01:02:33
|
|
Ohh.
|
01:02:36
|
|
Building a flood wall.
|
01:02:36
|
|
Thank you, Jeff. And I totally agree with your analysis of that statute, but.
|
01:02:38
|
|
You know it is crazy. Supervisor Christensen.
|
01:02:43
|
|
You.
|
01:02:47
|
|
Yeah, I think it's a great idea to do it so.
|
01:02:48
|
|
But.
|
01:02:51
|
|
Whatever COBRA does with it, it's not going to affect the flow rates or anything.
|
01:02:53
|
|
Ohh, create a negative.
|
01:02:58
|
|
Water diversion of some sort? Um, it's just to protect them, but not impact anyone else downstream.
|
01:03:00
|
|
Good question and something we considered and we looked at the designs that Jay Floor gave us and this area is outside of their
|
01:03:08
|
|
design requirements to contain the water.
|
01:03:13
|
|
From from from that that flows right adjacent to the hospital.
|
01:03:18
|
|
OK. Thanks.
|
01:03:24
|
|
Thank you. So I I think I agree with surprise Humphrey and everything, but the pendulum never stops in the middle. It goes one
|
01:03:26
|
|
extreme to another. So this is what we're up against, but needless.
|
01:03:31
|
|
Whether or not that's it, I mean whatever it is, this will help the hospital secure that property and.
|
01:03:37
|
|
And it will help us, there's no doubt so.
|
01:03:43
|
|
With that, if Legal doesn't have anything else, I'll entertain a motion.
|
01:03:48
|
|
Mr. Chair I moved to sell a portion of parcel #207-23-0113 to cover Valley Regional Medical Center.
|
01:03:53
|
|
In the amount of $9900 that the board has deemed it necessary.
|
01:04:03
|
|
To build a retaining wall to protect, Cover Valley Regional Medical Center.
|
01:04:10
|
|
I will second that having a motion in a second.
|
01:04:17
|
|
All in favor, do so by saying aye, aye, aye, aye Motion carries.
|
01:04:20
|
|
Thank you. Home, Ohh. You got one more home, Merrill.

8 Information Discussion Action to Adopt Public Works Department Policy Number PW-018 Dash.
|
01:04:27
|
|
Exempt employee emergency pay. Homer. Thank you.
|
01:04:35
|
|
Last year we had what I consider a.
|
01:04:40
|
|
Ohh winner.
|
01:04:45
|
|
Um.
|
01:04:47
|
|
And umm.
|
01:04:48
|
|
We were calling out our.
|
01:04:50
|
|
Our team.
|
01:04:53
|
|
To help with snow removal.
|
01:04:54
|
|
Umm.
|
01:04:56
|
|
So we have our our folks work four days a week.
|
01:04:58
|
|
10 hours a day.
|
01:05:02
|
|
And snowfalls 24/7.
|
01:05:05
|
|
When I watched you.
|
01:05:07
|
|
OK. Oftentimes the team would come out on a Friday.
|
01:05:08
|
|
And come out on a Saturday and come back on a Sunday.
|
01:05:13
|
|
And then on Monday they would check to see what the weather forecast is. Weather forecast is unpredictable.
|
01:05:17
|
|
Often wrong.
|
01:05:23
|
|
And so when they go to bed at night and there's potential for snow their conscience off, that they could be called out or that
|
01:05:24
|
|
they called themselves out, our regional managers that don't wait for me to tell them to come out.
|
01:05:31
|
|
A regional manager for the road yards at Thunder Roll on snow removal. We do during the week talk about what could happen.
|
01:05:38
|
|
But they're the ones that make the call. It's time to go out, and usually the call is made on the side of safety.
|
01:05:45
|
|
That is, there's a potential for the snow to impact traffic or school bus routes or or school school buses.
|
01:05:53
|
|
Et cetera. They are on the side of safety.
|
01:05:59
|
|
Oftentimes when they come out, they don't come out at a regular start time at 6:00. They're coming out at 3-4 in the morning.
|
01:06:02
|
|
So we we have a regional managers, our employees that don't get paid overtime.
|
01:06:08
|
|
And and they're the first ones that I would depend on to to make the call.
|
01:06:13
|
|
One of the things that I think about is in making this, it's it's kind of like a.
|
01:06:19
|
|
It's a little different than how we treat our our, our exempt employees.
|
01:06:25
|
|
In Umm.
|
01:06:30
|
|
You would say, well, they're they're their salary, they should come out anyway.
|
01:06:32
|
|
And and I would say, there's there. James Manlove worked there, asked me to do something this Saturday.
|
01:06:36
|
|
And I worked the tailgate County Manager Mandela.
|
01:06:41
|
|
Right now I want to say that that I have a wedding to go to.
|
01:06:45
|
|
There would be some consideration for that and we would probably say fine, OK.
|
01:06:50
|
|
I go go to your wedding.
|
01:06:54
|
|
Well, I don't have that option with people. When it's snow, snow events, I need for them to come out. It's almost like mandatory.
|
01:06:56
|
|
You don't have a choice, even though it's not your schedule.
|
01:07:01
|
|
And I think it's only fair that these exempt employees, there's only two, there's two regional Rd. yard managers that don't get
|
01:07:06
|
|
paid when they answer the call for weather related.
|
01:07:11
|
|
Uh.
|
01:07:17
|
|
Emergencies.
|
01:07:18
|
|
Umm.
|
01:07:20
|
|
In in So what we're proposing here?
|
01:07:20
|
|
Is that we paid them straight time.
|
01:07:25
|
|
With the time that they come out.
|
01:07:29
|
|
If if that time is approved by either, the board through an emergency declaration.
|
01:07:30
|
|
Or by the director of Public Works.
|
01:07:36
|
|
Now it's a for instance.
|
01:07:39
|
|
The fire that took place on the landfill.
|
01:07:41
|
|
In my opinion, that doesn't qualify. That's a one time event. We answer it and the next day we can come in late.
|
01:07:44
|
|
Or we can call somebody, or we can do different kinds of things.
|
01:07:51
|
|
And SO11 single event for me don't qualify. Is that continuous?
|
01:07:55
|
|
What I taught continually last year that bothered me to ask this one person to come out every day of the week.
|
01:08:02
|
|
And and and tell you have to come out. I need you would depend on you.
|
01:08:08
|
|
And especially this is especially difficult when we're short staffed.
|
01:08:14
|
|
And I can't tell you when we're going to solve the staffing issue. It's a continuous term style for us on people. So out of the
|
01:08:19
|
|
sense of fairness, out of a sense of right out of a sense of rewarding the folks that are that are basically our first responders
|
01:08:24
|
|
for the weather emergencies.
|
01:08:29
|
|
We we would like to ask the board to approve this policy.
|
01:08:34
|
|
I want to thank you for doing this. Supervisor Humphrey.
|
01:08:40
|
|
I have no questions and thank you for for bringing things to our attention.
|
01:08:44
|
|
Not at all. Mr. Chair, Supervisor Christensen, thank you. So Mayor fund to understand these This will apply to people that don't
|
01:08:50
|
|
get an hourly wage, they get a salary.
|
01:08:55
|
|
And because of that.
|
01:09:02
|
|
They would be paid extra for any extra time. Correct. Yeah. OK.
|
01:09:03
|
|
Yeah.
|
01:09:09
|
|
Homer, what you said absolutely true. And we've seen it all the years I've been on this board, You know, I don't know how many
|
01:09:10
|
|
Christmases, Thanksgivings, things of that nature are folks work through.
|
01:09:15
|
|
You know because of snow and weather and and whatnot that goes on that they they really don't have a choice and you know and and
|
01:09:20
|
|
so it's really good to try and pick up that slack and.
|
01:09:25
|
|
And reward them for it, because you you do have to ask a lot out of them when when that's happening, so.
|
01:09:30
|
|
Thank you for doing that.
|
01:09:37
|
|
That I didn't attain a motion, This chair moved to adopt Public Works Department policy. Number P WS-018. Mr. Chair, I'll second
|
01:09:38
|
|
that having a motion, and second all in favor, do so by saying aye, aye.
|
01:09:45
|
|
Aye, Motion carries. You almost have the whole page, Homer.

|
01:10:34
|
|
Landfill Stage 3A expansion Project Homero. Thank you.
|
01:10:36
|
|
The good news is that.
|
01:10:44
|
|
Works are expected to be completed at the end of this week.
|
01:10:47
|
|
They're putting down the final layer of of of earthen material on top of the of the membranes that that protect the water from
|
01:10:50
|
|
permeating through the soil.
|
01:10:56
|
|
Uh, they worked this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. We gave them an October eight, dropped that date and and they're taking that to
|
01:11:03
|
|
heart and they're working on. We expect them to be done on the later than Friday.
|
01:11:10
|
|
At that time, we would expect to ask bills to be delivered to us by Monday morning so that we can go to a DQ and ask for the
|
01:11:17
|
|
permit and hopefully in a couple of weeks we can open the landfill.
|
01:11:22
|
|
We are receiving material at the landfill right now. We're not falling from the landfill anymore. We're we're storing it waiting
|
01:11:28
|
|
for.
|
01:11:31
|
|
Or show 3/8 to be available so that we can put the material in cell 3A.
|
01:11:35
|
|
This this request for a an amendment to the contract.
|
01:11:42
|
|
Is based on finding another issue that was not picked up in the design of the cell.
|
01:11:47
|
|
The first thing, the first thing that we brought to you was that limited waste that people had violated the limit of waste that
|
01:11:54
|
|
they had. They had actually put solid waste outside of the boundary of the original landfill.
|
01:12:00
|
|
And so when we discovered that, we had to redesign.
|
01:12:07
|
|
How we were putting down the membrane.
|
01:12:10
|
|
It costs us money for the redesign and money to do the additional work that we have to undo some work.
|
01:12:12
|
|
And then redo new work.
|
01:12:19
|
|
In this particular case, the the great amount of water that was received in the springtime.
|
01:12:21
|
|
Actually created the Birch water table to collect water.
|
01:12:27
|
|
And they had. They had examined that in the past and had found no water.
|
01:12:31
|
|
And therefore the design did not allow for any.
|
01:12:35
|
|
Way to remove the water.
|
01:12:39
|
|
Having found the water we have, we have to put in a sump pump and the and the line up the hill that runs the water out of the
|
01:12:41
|
|
bottom of the pit of the landfill.
|
01:12:45
|
|
And and that's and that's what we're paying for with this second.
|
01:12:50
|
|
Uh, Second Amendment that we're bringing to you.
|
01:12:54
|
|
Umm.
|
01:12:57
|
|
So with that, I'll I'll, I'll, I'll request that Amendment #2 to Contract 10.
|
01:13:01
|
|
1122 from Meridian Engineering Company.
|
01:13:06
|
|
That will increase the funding by $153,569.43.
|
01:13:10
|
|
For a total contract of $3,000,000 and 97,137.
|
01:13:16
|
|
Appoint 28 and to extend the termination date.
|
01:13:20
|
|
To October 8th, 2023 for so we can proceed with the final ADQ approval.
|
01:13:23
|
|
Upon receiving the asphalt.
|
01:13:29
|
|
So with with with that we ask for for your approval and happy to entertain any questions. Thank you so much Supervisor Hunter.
|
01:13:32
|
|
Alright, I have no questions I I just hope that.
|
01:13:40
|
|
That shows that what?
|
01:13:44
|
|
Ohh.
|
01:13:47
|
|
Going outside the boundaries can cost us at some point in time, so.
|
01:13:47
|
|
As we go forward, I I hope that people ask more questions and do things as they're supposed to, because it sure costs a lot if
|
01:13:52
|
|
they don't.
|
01:13:56
|
|
Supervisor Christensen, thank you. Thank you, Homero. Yeah, the IT just.
|
01:14:02

Is that the amount exceeded the $50,000.

|
01:17:27
|
|
Policy Summit that occurs next week in Flagstaff. I believe all three of you are attending.
|
01:17:33
|
|
As a part of that, there are.
|
01:17:40
|
|
A number of.
|
01:17:44
|
|
Statewide issues that CSA will be presenting.
|
01:17:45
|
|
But then there are individual county issues that there will be for consideration.
|
01:17:49
|
|
14 of them the number of them by.
|
01:17:54
|
|
Pima County.
|
01:17:57
|
|
Hill County does have a couple of All of them want to.
|
01:17:58
|
|
Make sure that we are aware of those and and what?
|
01:18:01
|
|
Our expectation is for our presentation.
|
01:18:05
|
|
First one is item number 10 is the required identification cash payment of property taxes.
|
01:18:08
|
|
This is something that's been identified.
|
01:18:15
|
|
For quite some time with Supervisor Humphrey.
|
01:18:17
|
|
And so Roger Humphrey will be presenting. I'm not gonna Don't want to Steal Your Thunder, but.
|
01:18:21
|
|
It will be.
|
01:18:25
|
|
Addressing the.
|
01:18:26
|
|
Group.
|
01:18:28
|
|
Regarding this issue and.
|
01:18:28
|
|
Addressing blight.
|
01:18:31
|
|
For certain provided property and being able to find somebody that's accountable.
|
01:18:32
|
|
Second one is to.
|
01:18:36
|
|
#11 Streamline locality purchase for state land.
|
01:18:38
|
|
This we have discussed of.
|
01:18:42
|
|
Having.
|
01:18:44
|
|
The ability for governments to purchase state land that.
|
01:18:46
|
|
But right now it's all treated as if.
|
01:18:50
|
|
We are a developer.
|
01:18:52
|
|
That's looking to turn state lands into developed.
|
01:18:53
|
|
Properties for selling for real estate.
|
01:18:57
|
|
For homes and such, which is not our case.
|
01:18:59
|
|
And property that we're hoping to look at at by the programs.
|
01:19:01
|
|
I.
|
01:19:08
|
|
The preferred and I don't have a a person from one of the three of you yet.
|
01:19:09
|
|
To present this if you if one of you if you want to just turn it over me, I can explain it and have that discussion preference by
|
01:19:15
|
|
CSA's to have a supervisor.
|
01:19:19
|
|
Because Jacob Bennett with CSA, he will read the.
|
01:19:23
|
|
Summary that he has.
|
01:19:28
|
|
And then turn it over to the county.
|
01:19:30
|
|
To have the opportunity to give any additional details, any additional information.
|
01:19:32
|
|
For supervisor home for, we'll do on the first one.
|
01:19:37
|
|
If they're either of you or I. Any either.
|
01:19:40
|
|
You.
|
01:19:45
|
|
Want to present that have the discussion.
|
01:19:46
|
|
I thought you could turn over to me and I can present.
|
01:19:49
|
|
That that issue.
|
01:19:51
|
|
That is something that always just the chairman do it.
|
01:19:55
|
|
Ohh, that's me.
|
01:19:59
|
|
I have no problems with that, yeah, I just need to get all the information, yeah.
|
01:20:03
|
|
OK.
|
01:20:08
|
|
Great. Thank you.
|
01:20:09
|
|
Yeah, about that. Yeah. Perfect. Perfect. And.
|
01:20:10
|
|
That that may be something that we end up going to get some sort of legislation by our help the policy development group.
|
01:20:14
|
|
And just have specific legislation that we say, OK.
|
01:20:22
|
|
Legislation is passed to sell this property at fair market value to Hilly County or uses of these specific purposes, which is how
|
01:20:26
|
|
we purchased the.
|
01:20:30
|
|
Original paragraph.
|
01:20:34
|
|
And that bypasses all the rhythm roll and all the investments that we would have to put in.
|
01:20:36
|
|
And then potentially lose the property if it's opened up for.
|
01:20:43
|
|
To an actual auction.
|
01:20:46
|
|
So it's it's just not an apple, it's an apple, an orange deal, and it's that it's touches are all written for apples, but we're
|
01:20:48
|
|
oranges.
|
01:20:51
|
|
So.
|
01:20:55
|
|
There's that.
|
01:20:57
|
|
That's coming up next week.
|
01:20:59
|
|
On on those packets I did notice an e-mail that they have provided hard copies in the past. CSA wanted to cut down on the paper
|
01:21:01
|
|
and how much printing they do. So if you do want hard copies.
|
01:21:06
|
|
To take with you to the summit, then go ahead and have staff here do those hard copies before they.
|
01:21:12
|
|
Before you get there.
|
01:21:19
|
|
OK, absolutely.
|
01:21:22
|
|
Shared with you.
|
01:21:24
|
|
Help make sure. Thank you.
|
01:21:25
|
|
And I I'm gonna say one one other thing that I had a meeting yesterday that.
|
01:21:28
|

About economic development, we've long.
|
01:21:34
|
|
I've long struggled with economic development in New York County.
|
01:21:37
|
|
Because we have a number of entities, cities and towns, the ID A.
|
01:21:41
|
|
Started here in DC, Northern Health, DC and all these different entities.
|
01:21:46
|
|
And I'm I'm not really certain who does what and.
|
01:21:50
|
|
And how we can work together. So I met yesterday to have.
|
01:21:54
|
|
Potentially a forum.
|
01:21:58
|
|
Working towards the forum in March.
|
01:22:00
|
|
That would bring all those entities, all the governments together.
|
01:22:03
|
|
To have a discussion on what we are doing for economic development, how we can partner, how we can work together, how we can.
|
01:22:07
|
|
Make.
|
01:22:12
|
|
What we have our resources here in Philly County.
|
01:22:13
|
|
To be able to tell the story better and make those available. So that's not, again, not for about six months, but it's gonna take
|
01:22:17
|
|
that long because we.
|
01:22:21
|
|
Would expect well over 100 to 200 people to participate in the 10.
|
01:22:25
|
|
That event, so working towards that.
|
01:22:30
|
|
Hold it in in passing, we've got permission.
|
01:22:33
|
|
I well.
|
01:22:36
|
|
Requested to be able to hold it at the school district.
|
01:22:38
|
|
The Patient Unified School District in their facility, because they would put that many people, there's not really a lot of other
|
01:22:41
|
|
options.
|
01:22:44
|
|
So.
|
01:22:47
|
|
Did you wanna make or or that so that we can have that discussion as we go forward of economic development?
|
01:22:48
|
|
And what we want to look at that?
|
01:22:54
|
|
Tell you one more final thing, Chairman.
|
01:22:56
|
|
I was speaking to Neil Jensen with the hospital CEO and I got some news about the.
|
01:22:59
|
|
About healing community.
|
01:23:06
|
|
In the county provisional Community College district.
|
01:23:09
|
|
And there are some new issues that I understand that there are.
|
01:23:11
|
|
And so I request you with Doctor Brocker and Janice Lawhorn, the.
|
01:23:17
|
|
The President or the?
|
01:23:21
|
|
Interim president for the college.
|
01:23:25
|
|
A meeting which will be held.
|
01:23:27
|
|
This Thursday in my office.
|
01:23:30
|
|
And the reason I bring it up is that.
|
01:23:32
|
|
There's another board member that is planning to come and so I won't.
|
01:23:37
|
|
This is something that ordered the point that this may impact.
|
01:23:41
|
|
The board.
|
01:23:45
|
|
And where you go as a Board of Supervisors because there are some issues that the Board of Supervisors can.
|
01:23:46
|
|
Look into make. Perhaps address.
|
01:23:53
|
|
With regard to the Community College district.
|
01:23:55
|
|
So at 1:00 if more than one of you would like to attend that meeting in my office.
|
01:23:58
|
|
We would need to post it. It's not, it's just to gather information. I'm just requesting an update.
|
01:24:03
|
|
Of where the college is at and their process.
|
01:24:08
|
|
And to get that information, so I want to inform you let you know.
|
01:24:11
|
|
And if any any of you want to participate, if more than one, we need to post that and let you know that there will be a quorum for
|
01:24:16
|
|
that meeting. So James D, what you're saying is then this is just more of a.
|
01:24:23
|
|
I can't. We can't have a discussion here.
|
01:24:30
|
|
About any of the updates, OK. But I mean, what I'm hearing is it's an informational meeting, right? Informational meeting. I'm
|
01:24:33
|
|
asking for an update.
|
01:24:37
|
|
From.
|
01:24:41
|
|
Doctor Brocker and Dr. Laughlin.
|
01:24:43
|
|
And then?
|
01:24:50
|
|
Yeah.
|
01:24:51
|
|
Perhaps meet with James after the meeting and have that discussion, because this was.
|
01:24:54
|
|
And that we can't have a discussion about it, no, I understand. But what I'm trying to weigh out here is whether I need to take
|
01:24:58
|
|
the time to try and be there at that informational meeting or as James is bringing it forward to the board that it.
|
01:25:04
|
|
Future date, right. I suggest having that conversation after the meeting. Right on. We'll do that.
|
01:25:10
|
|
Go ahead, Supervisor Humphrey, unless I just settled your question, I'm gonna be in line.
|
01:25:16
|
|
After this meeting or for questions of of James. So yeah, I I'm not gonna get in trouble. You already did. So I'm just gonna.
|
01:25:22
|
|
I'm good at that. Cancel.
|
01:25:31
|
|
I thank you for letting me indulge. I I just you're all three to get together and I to.
|
01:25:36
|
|
It's an important activity. You're going to get patient.
|
01:25:42
|
|
Education is critical in Healing County. I know that's important to each of you.
|
01:25:45
|
|
And so that's why I shared that this thing coming up that it is occurring and.
|
01:25:49
|
|
Make sure that we, you're all three are aware that it is occurring. Thank you, James.
|
01:25:55
|
|
Supervisor Humphrey here next.
|
01:26:00
|
|
Um, yeah. I.
|
01:26:03
|
|
Walker.
|
01:26:05
|
|
Campaign Creek with the people that are doing the grant we put in for buyout money on homes there that continuously get water when
|
01:26:06
|
|
Campaign Creek runs.
|
01:26:10
|
|
And and so that was a a good walk with staff, engineers, Homero.
|
01:26:15
|
|
And so I I felt good about it because why would they send out people to walk through that if they're not looking to perhaps fund
|
01:26:21
|
|
that grant at some point in time?
|
01:26:26
|
|
Umm, And.
|
01:26:32
|
|
So that you know to assess the property.
|
01:26:35
|
|
A a great turnout by Tunnel Basin community meeting and I have another one tonight.
|
01:26:39
|
|
The last one was um.
|
01:26:46
|
|
And so anyway I have a.
|
01:26:48
|
|
Um, that meeting this evening out there.
|
01:26:52
|
|
And um.
|
01:26:55
|
|
And then next Monday I have my Roosevelt meeting and I'll be on.
|
01:26:56
|
|
OK, QSS.
|
01:27:02
|
|
Until.
|
01:27:04
|
|
Anyway, that's about it.
|
01:27:05
|
|
Supervisor Christiansen. Thank you, Chairman. So I'll plan on being at that meeting, James.
|
01:27:08
|
|
Just to let you know.
|
01:27:15
|
|
And if you could provide me as much information, paper or otherwise on.
|
01:27:17
|
|
To see the CSA, that's just next week.
|
01:27:22
|
|
I mean it's it's rolling up fast so.
|
01:27:25
|
|
I wanted to keep everybody kind of updated on what we're doing with the hashtag monument. We poured concrete on.
|
01:27:28
|
|
Friday.
|
01:27:35
|
|
I gotta come down. And Levi, Amon, he volunteered to do that.
|
01:27:37
|
|
It turned out to be all day long event 9 yards of concrete.
|
01:27:41
|
|
Ohh.
|
01:27:47
|
|
I mean.
|
01:27:48
|
|
After the apocalypse, that concrete will still be there.
|
01:27:51
|
|
It's just unbelievable.
|
01:27:56
|
|
So, umm.
|
01:28:00
|
|
We are planning on having the ceremony October 27th and we're going to.
|
01:28:02
|
|
Get this out to everybody. We just have them put it together, but we're working on it. It'll be at 2:00.
|
01:28:08
|
|
And that seemed to be the best time for everybody. So we're going to have speakers.
|
01:28:13
|
|
Um, if if you'd like to speak or let me know.
|
01:28:18
|
|
If you're not going to be there, that's fine. It's just going to be a dedication ceremony.
|
01:28:24
|
|
And so everything's proceeding pretty well with that. I think we've got the plans all figured out.
|
01:28:29
|
|
And.
|
01:28:35
|
|
Umm, I.
|
01:28:38
|
|
Don't know that I have anything else right now. Thank you.
|
01:28:40
|
|
You bet, Steve. And so.
|
01:28:43
|
|
Last week, me and Kathy and Cameron Davis were on camera G.
|
01:28:46
|
|
And patient for the forum talking about the event fundraising event that's coming up at Majestic Gram Institute in Payson.
|
01:28:52
|
|
What?
|
01:29:00
|
|
And about the vet center, So it was a really good.
|
01:29:00
|
|
Good form that hour and I really enjoyed it having the other two folks there.
|
01:29:03
|
|
As well, we had some people calling in asking questions that weren't really well.
|
01:29:08
|
|
Yesterday I met with Janet Dean and another guy, Joey, and I can't think his last name.
|
01:29:12
|
|
They're with APS higher up than APS.
|
01:29:19
|
|
They want to tour the Vet Center. We took them through that, looked at it all.
|
01:29:22
|
|
Had a really good conversation with them.
|
01:29:26
|
|
Today is the first group that's coming through the vet Center. They should know tomorrow.
|
01:29:29
|
|
Not today.
|
01:29:34
|
|
They should be there anytime there's about 15 to 20 motorcycle riders coming through their veterans.
|
01:29:36
|
|
They're going to spend the night and then they're going to move on. They're making some kind of a route around on their bikes.
|
01:29:42
|
|
I'm supposed to meet with them at 5:00 this evening.
|
01:29:49
|
|
To talk about the site after they've had chance to look at it and see how they could possibly help with us in the future and
|
01:29:52
|
|
everything for this.
|
01:29:56
|
|
So I'm really looking forward to that as well.
|
01:29:59
|
|
Umm.
|
01:30:02
|
|
Other than that, I think I'm good either. Anyone have anything else? You good?
|
01:30:04
|
|
Thanks, James.
|
01:30:10
|
|
And so with that.
|
01:30:12
|
|
Congratulations on the chairmanship and I'll adjourn the meeting.
|
01:30:14
