| And that you will be doing the invocation this morning. | 00:00:09 | |
| Yes, OK. | 00:00:13 | |
| So. | 00:00:17 | |
| I'd like to call this meeting to order. It's the very first meeting of 2024, exciting. We're going to have a great year. | 00:00:20 | |
| January 2nd. It's 10:00 and I've asked Alex if he would lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. | 00:00:27 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, | 00:00:40 | |
| indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:47 | |
| Heard your kind of gracious Heavenly Father. We are grateful that we can come before thee this beautiful morning. We have | 00:00:58 | |

| And do those things that are pleasing in my sight. | 00:01:20 | |
| We're grateful for the Board of Supervisors that. | 00:01:23 | |
| Willingly. | 00:01:26 | |
| Through in their capacities of helping and blessing the lives of others, we are grateful for this opportunity that the Board has | 00:01:28 | |
| to meet this morning. | 00:01:32 | |
| To go through the agenda and we pray for their wisdom and their blessings. | 00:01:36 | |
| And father, we pray for the constituents of Hila County that those that are suffering. | 00:01:44 | |
| Through health or other and have other needs that they may be blessed this day. | 00:01:50 | |
| And that we may be compassionate on those that have needs and look for ways to serve, or look for ways to bless and help them | 00:01:55 | |

| We're grateful again for this day and pray that blessings upon us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Thank you. | 00:02:09 | |
| Oh, it's warmer up here. | 00:02:22 | |
| Well, I trust everyone had a good holiday season. | 00:02:26 | |
| And travels if you travel, good family time, good food. | 00:02:29 | |
| And now we're back to work, and I'm excited about that. | 00:02:35 | |
| Marin, are you on my schedule first? | 00:02:39 | |
| You know what? I thought it wasn't. I'm not. Excuse me. | 00:02:43 | |
| So that's OK. | 00:02:48 | |
| OK, so the first item here today is 2. | 00:02:53 | |
| We'll get you up here, Marin, don't worry, we'll get you up here to a, we're going to have a presentation today on update on | 00:02:57 | |
| legislative session activities from the Policy Development Group. Todd and Andy with us. | 00:03:03 | |
| Good to see you guys. | 00:03:10 | |
| Great. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you. Chairman, Supervisors, as you mentioned, my name is Todd Bowman with Policy | 00:03:12 | |
| Development. | 00:03:15 | |
| Andy Jacobs, my colleague, is here with me today and we want to give you a recap of what happened last legislative session and | 00:03:19 | |
| then I look forward to the next legislative session. | 00:03:25 | |
| Last legislative session, kind of the saying in the political world is that you've seen one session, you've seen one session. | 00:03:32 | |
| And last session was actually the longest session ever in Arizona history. | 00:03:39 | |
| So it extended well into the summer for a few different reasons, but ultimately wrapped up in July, so. | 00:03:43 | |
| With all bills every year, they become effective and go into place 90 days after resigning, die or get out of session. | 00:03:53 | |
| Typically depends on when we get out, but typically that's sometime in the summer, early fall. This year those bills went into | 00:04:02 | |
| effect October, end of October. | 00:04:08 | |
| So when you have bills going into effect October 31st? | 00:04:15 | |
| They have only been in effect for a few months really. So a lot of times when bills go into effect, you see what works, what | 00:04:19 | |
| doesn't, you come back, you change them in the next session. But we really haven't had a lot of time to see what works and what | 00:04:24 | |
| doesn't with some of the bills that are passed. So that will impact this coming session. | 00:04:30 | |
| So on your behalf we've engaged with. | 00:04:38 | |
| Different supervisors and staff, not only with CSA, but ACO as well, working on some of the broader issues that are important to | 00:04:41 | |
| Hila County. We've engaged with the governor, staff, Governor Hoff, this was. | 00:04:48 | |
| Year in session. So she won the election last November and then was. | 00:04:56 | |
| Quickly, you know, about a month later produced it, But her proposed executive budget and then through this budgetative session. | 00:05:03 | |
| As we'll touch on in a second, it was a tumultuous session between the legislature and the governor's office. She had a record | 00:05:10 | |
| number of vetoes that she chose to veto. | 00:05:15 | |
| And so with the typical number of bills that were introduced, as there's normally a couple thousand bills that are introduced | 00:05:21 | |
| every year. We worked very closely last year, last year on your behalf with the Department of Veteran Services. | 00:05:27 | |
| As we'll also touch on in a second, there was a significant piece of legislation that Representative Marshall sponsored. | 00:05:35 | |
| Was able to pass and ultimately sign into law through the budget. | 00:05:42 | |
| We worked with Department of Veteran Services to make sure that that legislation looked proper in a form that Department of | 00:05:46 | |
| Veteran Services felt comfortable with. And that's important because that helped ultimately get it across the finish line. So I do | 00:05:51 | |
| want to thank the Department of Veteran Services for reaching out. | 00:05:56 | |
| We've built a great relationship. They've been up to young and worked with us on that. | 00:06:02 | |
| Continue to work with the department of Fore. | 00:06:08 | |
| And a dot as well, and then other stakeholders such as SRP, particularly on the forestry issue. | 00:06:11 | |
| Also, I do want to mention, just thank the legislators that you all have here. You all have some great legislators. | 00:06:18 | |
| Worked very closely with them and even just recently with Representative Cook he worked with. | 00:06:26 | |
| Helping us with state land issue and as I mentioned I represent Marshall sponsor that key piece of legislation for us last year. | 00:06:35 | |
| Last year, the budget, it was a $17.8 billion budget. It was the largest budget we've had in states history. We had a budget that | 00:06:42 | |
| was a bipartisan budget. Ultimately with the Republican legislature, that's as close as you can get. | 00:06:51 | |
| It's 1614 and 3129 in the House. One vote majority for the GOP. | 00:07:01 | |
| And then a Democrat governor, there was some question about what's his budget? Is it going to take forever? They actually got the | 00:07:07 | |
| budget done fairly quickly for what folks were anticipating and they got it done in May. But there were a few other issues that | 00:07:13 | |
| particularly Prop 400, which was a tax issue for Maricopa County, a big property or a sales tax extension for transportation. | 00:07:19 | |
| That's what stretched session on. | 00:07:26 | |
| There was also record number of vetoes by the governor, and she indicated that she will continue to veto legislation this year if | 00:07:34 | |
| it's not something that meets her standards. | 00:07:40 | |
| There was significant infrastructure spending. | 00:07:46 | |
| Of the $17.8 billion, there was a lot of one time money. Typically with one time money you want to spend that on a capital | 00:07:49 | |
| project, transportation projects. | 00:07:54 | |
| Or other capital funding that one time money is gone as is the ongoing money. We'll touch on that here in a second as well. But we | 00:07:59 | |
| are not, we are not like we are not heading into this session looking at a surplus, rather we're looking at a deficit. | 00:08:07 | |
| But a couple other things that I just want to mention too. From a tax policy standpoint, tax cuts remain in place. | 00:08:15 | |
| The rental tax was eliminated. | 00:08:22 | |
| The governor signed that. | 00:08:26 | |
| Into our on the education front, a hot topic is Esas, which is something that continue to remain in place. | 00:08:28 | |
| And then Prop 400 was the transportation tax, which? | 00:08:38 | |
| When it was passed, it will be put on the ballot next November, so the Maricopa County voters will be voting on that sales tax | 00:08:43 | |
| extension. | 00:08:47 | |
| To continue that, to continue the funding for. | 00:08:52 | |
| In Arizona. | 00:08:56 | |
| Another transportation project. | 00:08:57 | |
| Finally, I would just mention that the Senate who has the responsibility of confirming. | 00:09:00 | |
| The governor's nominations to head up for agencies. | 00:09:06 | |
| They held some very contentious I would say. | 00:09:11 | |
| Hearings, and several of them didn't pass committee. Some of them that did pass committee did not ultimately get a full vote by | 00:09:14 | |
| the Senate. And so that's been a point of ongoing contention between the governor and the Senate and I think we'll see that | 00:09:20 | |
| continue into this next session. | 00:09:26 | |
| I'm for specifically the bill that represented Marshall ran last year and very grateful for him taking the leadership on this. It | 00:09:33 | |
| was $3,000,000. | 00:09:38 | |
| To Gila County for the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat. That's something that I know is. | 00:09:43 | |
| Very important to Gila County Couple events that were held this last year. | 00:09:49 | |
| Ribbon cutting to start that process. I know we've been working, Andy, and I've been working with your staff to make sure that | 00:09:55 | |
| that money, you get that money and you're able to spend that money working with Department of Veterans Services on that as well. | 00:10:00 | |
| Representative Marshall was up there as well to celebrate. | 00:10:05 | |
| Working through the state jock to get that funded and then continuing to work with the federal folks on that. One of the things I | 00:10:12 | |
| want to mention is that because we are headed into a deficit, Andy and I are keeping a close eye on making sure that that money. | 00:10:20 | |
| That was appropriated in the budget last. | 00:10:28 | |
| Gets to Gila County. | 00:10:32 | |
| And we'll continue to do and continue to stay in contact with your staff on that as well. | 00:11:05 | |
| Just a couple pictures from the events. It was a great event up in Young and I think one of the things. | 00:11:10 | |
| Political boundaries and hope. | 00:11:55 | |
| Geographical boundaries to to not only serve Kilo County, but this is important for for the entire state. | 00:11:58 | |
| Looking forward to 2024, the budget deficit, as I mentioned. | 00:12:07 | |
| Stands at about 331 million budget deficit for FY24. That's this current year that we're in the budget that we just put together. | 00:12:13 | |
| It's something that it changes as the revenue projections come out. We'll see we'll see how much everybody spent on Christmas | 00:12:19 | |
| presents this year and what the. | 00:12:25 | |
| Sales tax looks like income tax is another one that. | 00:12:33 | |
| Has impacted the state state's budget, but those numbers actually were a little higher. The deficit was a little higher before the | 00:12:37 | |
| November numbers came out. So we'll we'll take a look and we'll see what the latest numbers are. | 00:12:44 | |
| As the legislature puts together their budget, just kind of the time frame of it is from start next Monday. So second Monday in | 00:12:51 | |
| January is when the session starts. They typically have committees for about two to three months. | 00:12:58 | |
| And then at April is typically when they. | 00:13:04 | |
| Once committees are done to what the budget is going to look like, So what happens, what the revenue numbers come into the next | 00:13:07 | |
| three months will be interesting to see and that will impact what this next budget looks like. | 00:13:13 | |
| But I would anticipate there will not be a ton of new spending there. | 00:13:19 | |
| Cuts and there will be deferrals. That's one of the ways that typically these are dealt with. If you have a big capital investment | 00:13:23 | |
| that you're planning on making as a state, but you have to defer that in order to save hundreds of millions of dollars, that's | 00:13:28 | |
| that's a possibility that they could look at as well. | 00:13:33 | |
| Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat will continue to work on that. Forest health implementation is something that is is not. It's not | 00:13:39 | |
| a one time thing, a continual thing for the state, particularly county. | 00:13:47 | |
| Road opportunities as well. That's something that the governor and the legislature, if there has been some points of agreement on, | 00:13:55 | |
| they can they continue to believe that roads and infrastructure are. | 00:14:01 | |
| And then a state land issue. I know we've worked with your staff to try and figure out how we can better work with state land from | 00:14:07 | |
| a Gila County perspective. What state lands are in Gila County that we might be able to work with them on to have a highest and | 00:14:13 | |
| best use here in Gila County to meet the needs of Gila County? | 00:14:19 | |
| Light issue. I know that's something that we've had a conversation about for, you know, a while now and how we work to resolve | 00:14:27 | |
| that issue. That's something. | 00:14:32 | |
| CSA has recent conversations with CSA. | 00:14:37 | |
| And we want to continue to work with C. | 00:14:41 | |
| Whether that be a legislative issue or there's other ways to approach this, it's something that. | 00:14:44 | |
| It's not just a Gila County issue, frankly, there's other counties that deal with this issue, so. | 00:14:50 | |
| This is something that we either deal with now or. | 00:14:56 | |
| Figure out a way to deal with because this issues not going away and it's not just a Gila County issue, it's a statewide issue. So | 00:15:00 | |
| we need to work with our legislators on that as well. | 00:15:04 | |
| There is the rural hospital legislation. | 00:15:09 | |
| Representative Cook ran a bill last year that didn't quite make across the finish line that would allow rural hospitals to have | 00:15:12 | |
| more flexibility for certain procedures. | 00:15:17 | |
| There's challenges with getting certain staff to be able to staff certain procedures in rural hospitals and we want to make sure | 00:15:23 | |
| that there's flexibility. | 00:15:28 | |
| If that's necessary. So we're going to continue to work with him on that issue. | 00:15:35 | |
| And then? | 00:15:40 | |
| As is always the case, every year, there's thousands of bills introduced and Andy and I's job these next couple weeks, I think we. | 00:15:43 | |
| Enjoy the during the holidays because we know what's coming. | 00:15:50 | |
| I've talked to Legislative Council where they write all the bills. | 00:15:55 | |
| And this was probably 3 weeks ago. There were about 800 bills that were already being worked on. And a lot of those are pulled | 00:15:59 | |
| over from last year, ones that are being run back again from last year. That didn't make it across the finish line, but there'll | 00:16:05 | |
| be new ideas as well. So we will spend the next. | 00:16:10 | |
| 2-3 weeks as all the new bills are introduced. | 00:16:17 | |
| Pouring over them, making sure that they don't negatively impact you and identifying the ones that do help you and. | 00:16:20 | |
| Will work with your staff on that to make sure that we. | 00:16:27 | |
| Read through those and make sure. | 00:16:33 | |
| Deal with those appropriately. | 00:16:35 | |
| With that. | 00:16:38 | |
| I know Andy's here as well, but happy to answer any questions that you might have or any comments or any other direction or | 00:16:39 | |
| feedback to on your behalf. Lastly, I would just say beyond beyond the bills, we always look for opportunities if there's if. | 00:16:47 | |
| Opportunities to support your priorities. It's been a privilege to represent you. | 00:16:55 | |
| The last few years I think we've gotten a good understanding of what's important to you, anything just think that particularly | 00:17:00 | |
| with some of the fire mitigation. | 00:17:05 | |
| That we've been able to secure some funding for. There's opportunities. | 00:17:10 | |
| We want to make sure we push for that. This is a year where frankly there's not going to be a lot of money out there. But that | 00:17:14 | |
| doesn't mean that we can't look for those opportunities when they arise. We're that happy to answer any questions. Thank you, | 00:17:19 | |
| Todd. Good job, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:17:23 | |
| Yeah, I have no questions. Just thank you for helping us through a lot of the rough spots and helping us with different funding | 00:17:30 | |
| issues. And like I say, to continue to work on the blight and things like that. I appreciate it very much. | 00:17:36 | |
| And so I I look forward to this year and see where it goes. | 00:17:42 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor Klein. Thank you, Mr. Chair, Todd Mandy. Thank you both for what you've done and I'm sure it's | 00:17:47 | |
| going to be another busy year. But I had a question for you on water Representative Griffins push on the water and all that. And | 00:17:53 | |
| have you heard anything new on? | 00:17:59 | |
| Anything that's going on there? | 00:18:06 | |
| So water, Water is always, always an issue every single year. | 00:18:08 | |
| I think this year will be no different, frankly. She's. | 00:18:15 | |
| She's not shield away from that issue and she'll continue to work on it. I, you know, I haven't specifically talked with her yet | 00:18:18 | |
| this year on what she's looking at pushing, but that's something that. | 00:18:24 | |
| I know I've chatted with her a couple weeks ago on a different issue, but I'd be happy to to get with you if there's a specific | 00:18:32 | |
| aspect of it from Peeling County's perspective. | 00:18:36 | |
| OK. Yeah. And and as far as you know, it's the board, we haven't really discussed it. So I won't go any deeper than that, but. | 00:18:43 | |
| But yeah, that's that keeps coming up. And you know, the governor's got her ideas on on the water appropriations and all that as | 00:18:49 | |
| well. So I'm not real sure where that's gonna end up, but. | 00:18:54 | |
| But that's something that. | 00:19:00 | |
| That I want to keep an eye on for sure, especially for for a rural county. | 00:19:02 | |
| But thank you so much for everything you guys have done and that was a really good push on that veterans center and Representative | 00:19:08 | |
| Marshall did an outstanding job on it. So if you would please relay that to him when you see him next, I tell him all the time, | 00:19:14 | |
| but no I will, I will definitely do that. And on the waterfront, I know there had been some conversations in the off session about | 00:19:20 | |
| the 100 year water supply and so that. | 00:19:27 | |
| 100 year water supply, Should that number be changed? | 00:19:33 | |
| There was some pushback on changing that, and I think that would run into some significant pushback, but that doesn't mean that | 00:19:37 | |
| the conversation won't happen. A lot of times these bills are introduced to. | 00:19:43 | |
| You were able to see him in committee and he spoke very eloquently to it and was able to communicate. And you know personally why | 00:20:19 | |
| it was important to him, but important to the county as well. So you all are blessed with some good representatives. Thank you | 00:20:24 | |
| guys. | 00:20:28 | |
| Thank you. Thank you, Todd and Andy, really great job. I really appreciate you. I just, I actually wrote down also rural | 00:20:32 | |
| groundwater. So I know there's a lot going on right there. | 00:20:37 | |
| And what the governor wants, what is passable? The problem I see is you can't make. | 00:20:42 | |
| One-size-fits-all for every county, so. | 00:20:49 | |
| We're not even close to being there yet for Gila County, so I'm going to be continuing talking to other people on that. | 00:20:54 | |
| I know a gentleman that's actually on that water council. | 00:21:02 | |
| And he's a. | 00:21:05 | |
| And I want to talk to him about what's going on And so get mourns one and the three million to Pleasant Valley was just amazingly | 00:21:07 | |
| good. | 00:21:12 | |
| I don't see us probably not getting that money. In fact, I heard that we already had about half of it. | 00:21:18 | |
| And the other half's coming. | 00:21:23 | |
| Yeah. OK. So that's great. But we're probably not going to count on another dose of that this year is what you're kind of telling | 00:21:26 | |
| us. | 00:21:30 | |
| Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's going to be a difficult year all around. Yeah. But that doesn't mean, that doesn't mean that, you know, | 00:21:35 | |
| everything has challenges. So we'll work our way. So thank you very much with that. Yeah, Supervisor, one more. | 00:21:42 | |
| Is on roads and infrastructure. | 00:21:49 | |
| Is there anything coming down the pipes on any kind of grant money from the state or through state on any kind of? | 00:21:53 | |
| Road improvements or construction or anything like that for rural areas. | 00:22:00 | |
| That you know of I have not heard specifically. | 00:22:04 | |
| I. | 00:22:08 | |
| I think right now what I've heard is. | 00:22:09 | |
| That some of some of the monies that were the one time funds that were appropriated last year I think that. | 00:22:12 | |
| Those are the funds that are. | 00:22:20 | |
| I mean, obviously there were higher dollar amounts because they were one time. | 00:22:23 | |
| Those are the ones that folks are looking at to. | 00:22:27 | |
| Are these going to be, is there, is there the potential for them to be paused or pulled back or stopped? And so I think this is, | 00:22:31 | |
| it's going the other way at least as of right now depending on what the revenues look like, I think that's. | 00:22:38 | |
| Folks gonna have their their intent as. | 00:22:45 | |
| Yeah. OK. Thank you. | 00:22:48 | |
| Thank you, guys. Anything else from anybody? OK, great. | 00:22:51 | |
| Have a good new year. | 00:22:55 | |
| OK, Item 2B, presentation of Heather County general fund financial data. | 00:22:57 | |
| As it compares to the fiscal year 2024 Gila County budget and fiscal years 23/22/21 and 20 year to date performance. | 00:23:03 | |
| Good morning. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Good morning Supervisor Klein. Good morning Supervisor Humphrey. Sorry I jumped the gun | 00:23:12 | |
| earlier and. | 00:23:16 | |
| Happy to be back at work and apparently that shows you're just zealous. We like that. And as Chairman said, we did get half of the | 00:23:19 | |
| $3 million already for the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat. We hadn't received that when we put together this update, but we do | 00:23:25 | |
| have that now. | 00:23:31 | |
| The information that we're showing. | 00:23:38 | |
| Just where we are relative to the last four years. | 00:23:41 | |
| At the end of November, we were at 36% of our annual budget compared to a five month target of 42% and that is for your. | 00:23:46 | |
| And the difference is less than 3900 dollars. Year to year expenditures at the end of November were at 40.3% of the budget | 00:23:57 | |
| compared to a 42% year to date target. Those expenditures are $2,000,000 higher than the prior year. Most of that is salaries and | 00:24:05 | |
| employee related expenses. | 00:24:12 | |
| Followed by bond interest and fees, and the bond interest and fees variance is due to timing in the year before that. | 00:24:21 | |
| Other than that, your differences are in Utilities and Miscellaneous. | 00:24:28 | |
| And we'd be happy to get you more specific detail if you'd like it. And we expect to have a December update for you. | 00:24:33 | |
| Probably the first week of February after everything is finalized. | 00:24:42 | |
| Thank you. | 00:24:49 | |
| Any comments or questions, Supervisor Humphrey? No comments or questions? Thank you, Supervisor Klein. | 00:24:51 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. | 00:24:57 | |
| I guess I could be brain dead after all that time off, but. | 00:25:00 | |
| At the end of November were 36% of annual budget on our general fund revenues, but why was that again, do you know? | 00:25:04 | |
| It's compared to the prior year. It's a $3800 difference. I can dig into that if you like. | 00:25:12 | |
| You're welcome. You're welcome. We'll, we'll expect we see at the end of December so far that we're creeping closer to that 50% | 00:25:21 | |
| mark. So there's probably another week worth of revenue to post and we were at 44% when I ran this report last Friday. So we're | 00:25:29 | |
| we're getting there, we're gaining. OK, thank you, Mayor. You're welcome. You'll expect to see. | 00:25:36 | |
| Let's get probably to the 80% point in April when that second-half of property taxes come in because that's really what drives the | 00:25:43 | |
| ratio right now, right. OK. Thanks, Marina. You're welcome. I'm pretty simple about finances. It's like it's in blocking or | 00:25:51 | |
| reading. So keep the blocking coming and we're good. So thank you for that. Thank you. OK, let's move on to. | 00:25:59 | |
| Regular agenda items three AI Will call for motion to adjourn as the Higa County Board of Supervisors and convene as the Board of | 00:26:07 | |
| Directors of the County Flood Control District. So moved Mr. Chair. | 00:26:14 | |
| How second that? Hey, we have a motion and a second to do that, let's. | 00:26:22 | |
| What do I say? | 00:26:28 | |
| Say I Yeah. All in favor. All in favor. | 00:26:29 | |
| I I forgot what to do. | 00:26:33 | |
| OK, And then we have Guard with this information discussion action to authorize the publication of a notice. | 00:26:36 | |
| Of a proposed amendment to the Gila County Floodplain Management Ordinance and set a public hearing date for February 20th, 2024. | 00:26:43 | |
| Dark. | 00:26:48 | |
| Mr. Chairman, Members of the board, I'm glad to be here in. | 00:26:53 | |
| Give you a little bit of background on this. | 00:26:57 | |
| This change was initiated by it. | 00:27:01 | |
| What they call a community assistance. | 00:27:04 | |
| From the Arizona Department of Water Resources, who is acting as an agent for FEMA for the flood insurance program. | 00:27:07 | |
| And there were some suggestions they. | 00:27:14 | |
| Came up with. | 00:27:18 | |
| Some things that once we got looking at it. | 00:27:20 | |
| Notice that we should make these a little bit clearer. | 00:27:23 | |
| Less ambiguous in the. | 00:27:27 | |
| And try to make. | 00:27:30 | |
| As easy as possible for the our citizens to comply with while still meeting the. | 00:27:33 | |
| The federal guidelines and regulations. | 00:27:39 | |
| So. | 00:27:43 | |
| The in the. | 00:27:46 | |
| Code of Federal. | 00:27:48 | |
| There are FEMA's rules and. | 00:27:51 | |
| Certain definitions and and rules. Then FEMA also has certain guidelines to. | 00:27:53 | |
| Tell us what their interpretation of the regulations are. | 00:27:59 | |
| And we try to match that as closely as possible. | 00:28:04 | |
| And. | 00:28:09 | |
| And provide the at least the minimum level of flood protection for our residents. | 00:28:12 | |
| While not making it too. | 00:28:18 | |
| Burdensome by adding a lot to it. | 00:28:21 | |
| Now they're always free. | 00:28:23 | |
| Protect to a higher standard when they build. We don't want to make it. | 00:28:26 | |
| Hard on those who are having difficulty anyways trying. | 00:28:30 | |
| Get a home. | 00:28:34 | |
| So. | 00:28:41 | |
| You have the this. | 00:28:43 | |
| Summary and you also have the proposed ordinance and that will be published if you guys approve the the publishing of that for | 00:28:47 | |
| public review and comment. | 00:28:51 | |
| Would just like to touch on a few things that are. | 00:28:57 | |
| That have changed and I'm not going to touch on everything because there are a lot of details. I know that Jim is long, so I'm | 00:29:02 | |
| going to respect that. | 00:29:05 | |
| There is a new definition. | 00:29:10 | |
| Of agricultural structure with. | 00:29:12 | |
| Allowable ways to flood proof that which. | 00:29:17 | |
| Actually, a little. | 00:29:21 | |
| Lenient and. | 00:29:24 | |
| Options than what we had before. | 00:29:26 | |
| Definitions for breakaway fence breakaway walls which are designed to breakaway floods come and. | 00:29:30 | |
| And have. | 00:29:37 | |
| The support you know, above them. | 00:29:39 | |
| The flood proofing. | 00:29:45 | |
| There there's a revised definition that clarifies that. | 00:29:48 | |
| Mainly the dry flood proofing where you provide a. | 00:29:52 | |
| A strong structural. | 00:29:56 | |
| Wall or something that keeps the water out. | 00:29:59 | |
| And wet flood proofing where you. | 00:30:02 | |
| Flood vents that allow the water to come in and equalize the water pressure so. | 00:30:05 | |
| Structure is not compromised by forces on the wall. Those are the two main. | 00:30:11 | |
| Major types in a nutshell. | 00:30:17 | |
| So that's clarified a little bit. | 00:30:18 | |
| There's a definition. | 00:30:24 | |
| It's been added. | 00:30:28 | |
| And. | 00:30:31 | |
| Some other things they. | 00:30:34 | |
| Clarifications are bringing in compliance. | 00:30:36 | |
| Go to federal regulations. | 00:30:39 | |
| And. | 00:30:43 | |
| There's. | 00:30:46 | |
| Our modification, which would expand the jurisdiction of the ordinance. | 00:30:48 | |
| To include regulation of flood plains, which have been identified by FEMA in their new studies that we've talked about a while. | 00:30:54 | |
| And so that we can use the best available information. | 00:31:05 | |
| In the interim until these maps are officially adopted and made part of. | 00:31:11 | |
| Official flood. | 00:31:16 | |
| And these are. | 00:31:20 | |
| Better engineering than what we have. | 00:31:27 | |
| The floodplain. | 00:31:32 | |
| Was pretty. | 00:31:35 | |
| Pretty rough approximate. | 00:31:36 | |
| And now we have better information we'd like. | 00:31:39 | |
| Use that to protect their citizens. | 00:31:43 | |
| And that that goes both ways. Both those who? | 00:31:45 | |
| Well, as those, those who might be in areas that we're not currently on the maps. | 00:31:49 | |
| And for those who. | 00:31:56 | |
| Currently on the maps, who would not be with the new? | 00:32:00 | |
| We still have to. | 00:32:03 | |
| Issue. | 00:32:05 | |
| But we use the information from. | 00:32:07 | |
| From the new study, which will basically say there aren't any requirements because you're out of. | 00:32:10 | |
| Floodplain. | 00:32:16 | |
| We just still have to do the paperwork. | 00:32:17 | |
| And there's a section. | 00:32:21 | |
| That talks about ways to correct violations. | 00:32:25 | |
| And FEMA has some guidance on. | 00:32:30 | |
| Which which we're implementing. | 00:32:33 | |
| There are several methodologies and we'll go through all. | 00:32:37 | |
| One of them. | 00:32:42 | |
| That would affect you is the changes being proposed, which would not allow the floodplain board to grant a variance. | 00:32:46 | |
| To a. | 00:32:54 | |
| Variances are. | 00:32:56 | |
| According to FEMA, supposed to be. | 00:32:58 | |
| For unusual situations that. | 00:33:01 | |
| Deserve a special treatment. | 00:33:04 | |
| And not just because they blew off the wheels. | 00:33:06 | |
| And wanna. | 00:33:10 | |
| So that's that's one change of speed proposed. | 00:33:13 | |
| There's a. | 00:33:17 | |
| Proposed change. | 00:33:20 | |
| Would agree with the federal regulations. | 00:33:21 | |
| Which would? | 00:33:25 | |
| Radio. | 00:33:27 | |
| Mike. | 00:33:29 | |
| Air conditioning compressors. | 00:33:30 | |
| Generators. What kind of equipment that serves a? | 00:33:33 | |
| Now they need to be elevated above. | 00:33:38 | |
| Flight elevation by a. | 00:33:42 | |
| And they're we're proposing. | 00:33:45 | |
| Allowing it to. | 00:33:47 | |
| Be designed to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding, which is the | 00:33:49 | |
| federal wording. | 00:33:53 | |
| So there are situations where people are unaware that their AC contractor or something. | 00:33:59 | |
| Not gotten permits. Now they're stuck with a problem. | 00:34:07 | |
| This would allow them some options to make a retrofit a little more easily. | 00:34:11 | |
| And. | 00:34:21 | |
| Then there's a section to allow using. | 00:34:23 | |
| Water surface elevation in New FEMA. | 00:34:27 | |
| In Zone Ace, where? | 00:34:31 | |
| And there's no elevation on the flood. | 00:34:34 | |
| And that's been encouraged by FEMA, but we wanted to put that in the organs to. | 00:34:38 | |
| Official and transparent everybody Thoughts. That's what we're. | 00:34:44 | |
| And there is. | 00:34:54 | |
| There's some new FEMA guidelines with. | 00:34:56 | |
| Come. | 00:35:05 | |
| I think since the. | 00:35:06 | |
| I don't know. They're not since the last ordinance, but we want to implement them their guidelines for and floodways which are | 00:35:09 | |
| always. | 00:35:13 | |
| Where the the regulations state that. | 00:35:18 | |
| We need. | 00:35:21 | |
| Have engineering to prove that there is no rise in the water level by what somebody wants to build. | 00:35:23 | |
| And common sense tells us that some things. | 00:35:31 | |
| In the middle of a floodway are so minor. | 00:35:36 | |
| That they would not really have an impact. | 00:35:40 | |
| And this allows. | 00:35:44 | |
| The guidance allows us. | 00:35:46 | |
| To basically. | 00:35:50 | |
| Not require that engineering for that purpose. These are things such as. | 00:35:52 | |
| Flag poles electric meter pedestals for manufactured homes. | 00:36:01 | |
| Breakaway. | 00:36:06 | |
| Open carports with minimal support structure. | 00:36:08 | |
| And things like that. | 00:36:12 | |
| So those are believed to be positive and helpful to our residents. | 00:36:14 | |
| And that those are the major changes that we're proposing in this ordinance. | 00:36:22 | |
| Thank you, Dart. Any any comments, advisor Humphrey? Yeah, one, I think change is good. This is a long time coming because a lot | 00:36:28 | |
| of people have done their own engineering to prove that the map was incorrect prior and so when you mentioned the paperwork. So | 00:36:35 | |
| now once this is out. | 00:36:41 | |
| Are they still going to have to do their engineering paperwork for building permits and stuff, or we'll be able to just go by the | 00:36:48 | |
| new? | 00:36:52 | |
| Elevation set. | 00:36:56 | |
| We will. | 00:36:59 | |
| OK for for the. | 00:37:02 | |
| I understand the question. | 00:37:04 | |
| You're asking whether once these new. | 00:37:08 | |
| Flood maps are published. | 00:37:12 | |
| For zone, is not the zone a ease with? | 00:37:15 | |
| Because by famous regulations, we have to use the effective one on that. | 00:37:19 | |
| OK. And those are being revised also? | 00:37:24 | |
| But when this goes into effect some of the ones that we have. | 00:37:30 | |
| Areas which are mapped as floodplains but don't have elevations. | 00:37:35 | |
| We'll be able to use those. | 00:37:39 | |
| That information, the permit paperwork, will still be there, but. | 00:37:41 | |
| Some of the requirements will be eased a lot. | 00:37:46 | |
| The same as with these changes in. | 00:37:49 | |
| For development floodway for minor. | 00:37:53 | |
| They'll still require a permit so that we know what's going on. | 00:37:56 | |
| But the requirements will be somewhat less. | 00:37:59 | |
| Does that answer your question? Well, yeah, for the most part. And then also too anytime you you change those maps. | 00:38:04 | |
| A lot of people's homeowners insurance is. | 00:38:13 | |
| By these maps, and so with these maps changing. | 00:38:17 | |
| Will that help people? | 00:38:21 | |
| Or hurt people. | 00:38:24 | |
| And their homeowners insurance, depending on the change of the maps. | 00:38:27 | |
| It could. Now, this ordinance doesn't change the maps. | 00:38:30 | |
| FEMA is. | 00:38:34 | |
| On a parallel track, revising the maps. | 00:38:37 | |
| And when those become effective. | 00:38:39 | |
| That, that's what. | 00:38:42 | |
| Insurance will be based on. | 00:38:44 | |
| OK. And and and. | 00:38:46 | |
| And we don't have anything to do with the insurance. I understand that. So, so when, when will these maps? | 00:38:48 | |
| Be finalized do you think? | 00:38:55 | |
| We don't have an exact. | 00:38:58 | |
| They're telling us that probably. | 00:39:01 | |
| Mid 2025 will. | 00:39:05 | |
| Preliminary. | 00:39:08 | |
| And then they have a. | 00:39:11 | |
| Review and comment period where people. | 00:39:14 | |
| You know, objectively. | 00:39:18 | |
| Send in comments and they'll look at that. | 00:39:21 | |
| Then after that. | 00:39:23 | |
| And they haven't given us a. | 00:39:26 | |
| But after that's done, they will start creating the maps. | 00:39:29 | |
| So we go through the process. | 00:39:34 | |
| Drop the maps. | 00:39:37 | |
| When the. | 00:39:39 | |
| Finalized they'll have. | 00:39:41 | |
| Review and comment period. | 00:39:45 | |
| They'll be adopted, so we're looking at probably a couple. | 00:39:47 | |
| At least, OK, because now that we've now that we've stirred this up and muddied the water, I get a lot of questions. Building | 00:39:52 | |
| permits and homeowners insurance. | 00:39:57 | |
| And so that that was my reason for the questions to you. | 00:40:02 | |
| Is then as I answer questions, is it's going to be. | 00:40:07 | |
| Few years down the road before you're able to to benefit or be harmed. | 00:40:14 | |
| From these new maps. | 00:40:20 | |
| Yes, but once the ordinance becomes effective, some of. | 00:40:23 | |
| Minor provisions to help people along, they will become. | 00:40:28 | |
| Effective, right. Understand that. OK. | 00:40:32 | |
| Thank you. Appreciate. | 00:40:36 | |
| Prize decline. | 00:40:38 | |
| Sweetheart. | 00:40:40 | |
| Do you still got my turn? Go. | 00:40:42 | |
| Sorry, I don't blame you. Almost got a word. It's OK. | 00:40:44 | |
| I. | 00:40:48 | |
| So. | 00:40:52 | |
| Floodplain is a real huge issue for Hina County. | 00:40:55 | |
| And and there's there's a lot to it, and a lot of it is based on those maps. | 00:41:00 | |
| That's that's kind of the issues where we're at right now. Really, almost everything is the what is mapped now isn't mapped | 00:41:07 | |
| correctly. | 00:41:11 | |
| And so when I looked at. | 00:41:15 | |
| You got to pardon me a little bit because I did not jump into this and look out real close parts of this. I can understand where | 00:41:19 | |
| you're coming from. Other parts I can. | 00:41:23 | |
| And I think for me to jump into an ordinance, to sign an ordinance that I'm not really. | 00:41:28 | |
| Fully familiar. | 00:41:35 | |
| I'm not going to be ready to do that. | 00:41:37 | |
| And so, especially where it pertains to floodplains, because I'm no different than Supervisor Humphrey, I get a lot of questions | 00:41:39 | |
| on floodplains. | 00:41:44 | |
| And and there's a lot of lot of things that has to do with the floodplain, as he stated, that can hurt or help people. | 00:41:50 | |
| And so. | 00:41:58 | |
| I see some differences and definitions and some things like that. | 00:42:00 | |
| But for one, I I feel like this is a subject that we really need to be able to sit down and really dwell in. | 00:42:06 | |
| At least on my account to where I understand it more fully than right now. So I don't really have anything in specific guard. I | 00:42:14 | |
| just want to thank you for what you put together. | 00:42:19 | |
| But I'm not going to push to pass this right now. I'm not going to do it. I'd like to see us have a work session on it that we can | 00:42:24 | |
| dive into and have some really good discussions when we have the time. | 00:42:30 | |
| Because we don't have the time. | 00:42:36 | |
| So thank. | 00:42:38 | |
| Thank you. | 00:42:41 | |
| So I will entertain a motion to adjourn as the Board of Directors of the Gila County Flood Control. | 00:42:46 | |
| Vote. Oh, OK, sure. OK, so I'll entertain a motion to take action or approve or something. Whatever you want to. | 00:42:53 | |
| Make a motion about Mr. | 00:43:05 | |
| I moved to authorize the publication of a notice. | 00:43:08 | |
| Of the proposed amendment to the Healing County Blood Pain Blood Plain Maintenance Ordinance and set a public hearing date for | 00:43:12 | |
| February 20th, 2024. | 00:43:18 | |
| OK, I'll second it. | 00:43:26 | |
| OK, We have a motion and a second to proceed. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. | 00:43:30 | |
| OK, motion carries. | 00:43:37 | |
| And I presume we can always make adjustments to it as needed. | 00:43:41 | |
| OK, Marin, you're back up item 3. | 00:43:47 | |
| Information. Oh, I'm sorry. Now I need. Now I need a motion to adjourn as the board of directors of the Yula County Flood Control | 00:43:51 | |
| District and reconvene as the Board of People. So moved, Mr. Chair. I'll second that. | 00:43:57 | |
| OK. With that all those in favor say aye, aye, aye. OK. | 00:44:03 | |
| Thank you and item 3D Information Discussion Action to approve Intergovernmental Agreement number 10042023 with the Town of Miami. | 00:44:10 | |
| To provide funding for the Copper Mountain Transit System in the amount of $73,000 for the period. | 00:44:22 | |
| July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. | 00:44:28 | |
| Good morning, Mr. Chair. Good morning, Supervisor, Client, Supervisor Humphrey. I fully expected Katie from the Town of Miami to | 00:44:33 | |
| be here today to present to you their ridership summary for the past year. | 00:44:38 | |
| Seeing if she's not here. | 00:44:45 | |
| It's up to you whether you want to approve this as is or if you'd like to table it until. | 00:44:48 | |
| They're able to be here to present. | 00:44:55 | |
| OK. Thank you. With that, I'll entertain a motion. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Any questions, Supervisor Humphrey? | 00:44:59 | |
| Yeah, I would like to see the town of Miami here because they they were after me pretty hard. Why they didn't get their funding | 00:45:07 | |
| this, that and the other. And it's like, well, usually you come and present to us what's been going on with the money that we gave | 00:45:11 | |
| you last year. | 00:45:16 | |
| And and and it's in my district and I don't want to ruffle too many feathers, but I think it would be important. | 00:45:21 | |
| For them to come and let us know where our $73,000 went and where our new $73,000 is going to go. | 00:45:27 | |
| The proviso client. | 00:45:37 | |
| The 77,000 is something we've given them now for. | 00:45:39 | |
| Seven years I've been in here. I mean, it's just been a. | 00:45:43 | |
| Deal. I can't imagine that it's got any any less. I don't totally disagree with Supervisor Hunter. I'd be nice to have them here | 00:45:47 | |
| to prevent, but I also know how important that transit system is to people. | 00:45:53 | |
| And. | 00:46:00 | |
| I'm, I'm. Leave it up to your call. Entertain a motion, then, to either. | 00:46:02 | |
| Approve, disapprove or to. I'm sorry, you have something, Chairman. Yes, members of the Board. So this authority is arising under | 00:46:07 | |
| ARS 11.254, which the Board does need to make a determination. That's for the benefit of the public. So if you feel that you're in | 00:46:14 | |
| a position where you can make that determination without the presentation, you can go ahead and proceed. But if you're in the | 00:46:21 | |
| position where you need more information, I would recommend holding off. | 00:46:28 | |
| OK, thank you. So I will entertain a motion to either approve, disapprove or table. | 00:46:36 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey District I think I'd leave it to you. | 00:46:43 | |
| OK, I moved to table this until we can have someone from the town of Miami do have us a presentation. | 00:46:47 | |
| On the transportation system that we're having fun. | 00:46:54 | |
| Can we have a motion? Yeah, I'll second it. OK, motion in a second. All those in favor of tabling Item 3BA aye, aye, aye, aye. | 00:46:59 | |
| OK. We'll wait For more information. Thank you, Marin. Item 3C information and discussion action to adopt A revised policy number | 00:47:07 | |
| B, OS-F I N-116, the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System funding to reflect update actuarial valuation as of June 30th, | 00:47:14 | |
| 2023. | 00:47:22 | |
| So I believe this is my final item today. So ARS 38 eight 6301 requires that we have an annual update to our PSPRS funding policy. | 00:47:31 | |
| We have adopted this policy annually since June 18th of 2019, when we first adopted it. | 00:47:46 | |
| And we did in. | 00:47:54 | |
| Issue. | 00:47:58 | |
| Revenue. | 00:48:00 | |
| Bond Pledged revenue bond that we used to fund 100% of our PSPRS debt. | 00:48:03 | |
| So that we are making our ongoing payroll contributions, but we do not have an ongoing normal contribution as the policy requires. | 00:48:12 | |
| So the update to today's policy. | 00:48:22 | |
| Indicates the current asset balance in each of the three funds, the Sheriff's Office, adult detention and dispatchers. | 00:48:26 | |
| And indicates their assets, accrued liability and the unfunded liability and the funded ratio. All three funds are funded at more | 00:48:35 | |
| than 100% at this time. Specifically, the Sheriff's Office funded ratio is 103.38%. | 00:48:44 | |
| Adult detention funding ratio is 104.3% and dispatch is 112.24%. | 00:48:54 | |
| Today's policy update indicates that there is no goal to achieve and we do not need to make any normal contributions. | 00:49:04 | |
| And we will continue to maintain to the greatest extent possible the goal of 100% fully funded. Happy to answer any questions you | 00:49:14 | |
| have. | 00:49:19 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:49:25 | |
| I I have. I have no question and I think that's great that we're way ahead of that game. | 00:49:29 | |
| Supervisor K. | 00:49:35 | |
| Yeah, I don't either, man. I just really, really happy we did what we did a few years ago. So thank you. Yeah, very beneficial. So | 00:49:37 | |
| thank you, Marin. And with that I will entertain a motion. | 00:49:42 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to adopt revised policy number BOSF IN-116 Public Safety Personnel Retirement System funding. | 00:49:50 | |
| I'll second that have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, aye, Aye. | 00:50:02 | |
| Thank you, Marin. Thank you, gentlemen. | 00:50:08 | |
| Item 3D Information Discussion Action to approve Economic Development Agreement number 112123 between Gila County and the Globe | 00:50:13 | |
| Miami Gun Club incorporated in the amount of $3662.00 to fund the improvements to the gun range required by Arizona Police Officer | 00:50:22 | |
| standards and training in order to establish the Eastern Arizona College slash Gila Pueblo Law Enforcement Bringing Academy. | 00:50:30 | |
| Which the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. The provider, Humphrey. Yeah, where this is, is. | 00:50:40 | |
| Since since I've been here, we've been trying to do cadet training because a lot of the people that we send to other areas to get | 00:50:48 | |
| trained, you know, it's hard to get them back also to locally. It it would help in my opinion to have officers trained here | 00:50:55 | |
| locally, it would help us with a lot of that. And so in order to do that, we needed to do some improvements to the gun range and | 00:51:02 | |
| so earlier in one of the meetings. | 00:51:08 | |
| One of the IT was just like $30,000 and and I came up with 10,000. The city of Globe came up with 10,000 and and FMI came up with | 00:51:17 | |
| 10,000 which was a $30,000 which you gentlemen helped me approve. | 00:51:25 | |
| Well then as it was inspected by the NRA, from my understanding is there need to be some improvements to the range over and above | 00:51:34 | |
| what that 30,000 included, which was 7 right at $7000 more money they needed for the improvements. | 00:51:43 | |
| And so I I. | 00:51:53 | |
| I sat down and worked with the Chief of Police of Globe and we decided that we would split this additional $7000. | 00:51:55 | |
| In order to make this happen and be then when NRA could approve that for us to do the training at the Globe gun range. And so it | 00:52:03 | |
| it's not only for the cadet training but you know we're doing a 4H deal with people shooting and things and so the improvements to | 00:52:11 | |
| the range are going to go far beyond just being able to help cadet training but so anyway that's that's what this is for and it is | 00:52:20 | |
| out of my constituent funds and and I I would like us to go. | 00:52:28 | |
| Forward with that. | 00:52:36 | |
| And and so being said, it is for the benefit of the public and has to come before the board. | 00:52:37 | |
| That's that's what I have and if you have question, we have Lee Canard here who is has been ring ringleader of this for two years | 00:52:43 | |
| trying to get it rolling. I have a letter from the college as well that is going to help with the classes and so if you have any | 00:52:50 | |
| questions. | 00:52:57 | |
| That's my presentation. Thank you supervisor. Either one of you or both of you wish to speak at this time. | 00:53:05 | |
| Yeah, please tell us who you are. | 00:53:13 | |
| Hello, my name is Lee Canard. I'm the Academy Director or coordinator for the Pueblo College. | 00:53:24 | |
| I was trying to retire and I wasn't able to do that. I was brought into this position. We appreciate that very much. | 00:53:32 | |
| I want to kind of go over what? | 00:53:43 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey said I attended this police Academy back. | 00:53:46 | |
| 86. | 00:53:51 | |
| And this is when Chief Walters approached me. He said that most of us that had attended this local Academy. | 00:53:53 | |
| Tended to stay with local agencies. | 00:54:01 | |
| And it was a high number. | 00:54:03 | |
| Of people that stay. | 00:54:05 | |
| And retain with these agencies which? | 00:54:07 | |
| That we know the area, we know the people. I mean, it's a really good thing to keep local people here. | 00:54:11 | |
| And it also, it's not a revolving door. You train them, they leave, you train them, they leave. Hopefully they'll be trained here | 00:54:18 | |
| and stay here. | 00:54:22 | |
| I. | 00:54:28 | |
| The opportunity to work with. | 00:54:30 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:54:33 | |
| And to get this moving ahead. | 00:54:35 | |
| You have any other questions, I'll be glad to answer. You have anything to add to that? | 00:54:39 | |
| I I don't. OK, Supervisor Klein. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So. | 00:54:45 | |
| What's the chance of us having an Academy or is it good? Do we have a date or this is this is our biggest hurdle. I've I've been | 00:54:50 | |
| working with Arizona Post which is all of you know is Arizona police officer standards and training. | 00:54:56 | |
| They have to approve our. | 00:55:03 | |
| I have a representative that I stay in contact. | 00:55:05 | |
| And in order to get our first ins. | 00:55:09 | |
| Towards getting the Academy cert. | 00:55:13 | |
| This is our last hurdle. Is this gun range? | 00:55:16 | |
| I have all the updated lesson plans. We have an agreement with Miami School District to use their wrestling room and their track | 00:55:20 | |
| and field for all the physical fitness and the defensive tactics. | 00:55:25 | |
| We have a lot of. | 00:55:32 | |
| Instructors through Globe Police Department, Payson Police Department and Gila County Sheriff's Office to provide us with the | 00:55:35 | |
| instructors for the training. | 00:55:39 | |
| I've had other people come forward that are experts in their field. | 00:55:44 | |
| That are willing to come in and also provide instruction at the police Academy. OK, so. | 00:55:48 | |
| So we go through these steps then I guess what I'm hearing you say is they've already kind of looked at your range or looked at | 00:55:56 | |
| the gun range and this is, this is kind of what it's going to take to. I had two Arizona Post representatives come and look at | 00:56:01 | |
| both the Globe police range. | 00:56:05 | |
| And the gold mining range? | 00:56:11 | |
| The City of Global Police range. | 00:56:13 | |
| Improvement list was quite extensive. | 00:56:16 | |
| And it's also Unleashed for service land. I'm sure you've dealt with that before. | 00:56:19 | |
| So the list for the Globe Miami range was short, like 3 or 4 items. We're going to upgrade the electrical for the night. | 00:56:24 | |
| We're going to put a four strand Bob wire fence to keep cattle out of the pistol range and then we have the 8 foot by 200 some odd | 00:56:33 | |
| feet berm to separate the rifle and the pistol range. | 00:56:38 | |
| And that was the major requirements. College has already purchased a flagpole for a range, a range flag that was the other | 00:56:44 | |
| requirement and and so the global. | 00:56:50 | |
| You know, pardon me, but Globe Miami range is open to everybody, right? And so all the membership range, you have to be an NRA | 00:56:56 | |
| member, plus you have to be a member of the Global Miami Gun Club. | 00:57:01 | |
| But there we have partnered with the Globe Miami Gun Club to have the police Academy training there. | 00:57:08 | |
| So nobody can just walk in off the street and shoot there, not while we're doing our training. | 00:57:15 | |
| OK. OK. Thank you. | 00:57:21 | |
| I think. | 00:57:24 | |
| It was 10 or 12 days. | 00:57:25 | |
| Oh **** Well, night shoots and we're going to notify the people in the local area. That's because that land sits on BHP and FMI | 00:57:28 | |
| property. It's leased from them and that was one of the agreements we had is we're going. | 00:57:34 | |
| Probably a member of one of the representatives from the minds of myself and probably Brent, who's the vice president. And we're | 00:57:41 | |
| going to go out and talk to the local neighbors and explain to them what's going on and that there will be several nights where | 00:57:46 | |
| they're doing the night shoots, which is. | 00:57:51 | |
| Players on the post. So one of the things that Supervisor Humphrey brought up was our local 4H club. That's getting into the | 00:57:56 | |
| shooting and stuff like that. Yes, now, are they a part of this range? | 00:58:01 | |
| OK. | 00:58:06 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Canard. I sounds like a good deal. So with that, I will entertain a motion that needs to | 00:58:08 | |
| include the benefit of the public comment. | 00:58:14 | |
| Mr. Chair, I move to approve Economic Development Grant number 112123 with the Golden Miami Gun Club Incorporated as presented. | 00:58:20 | |
| And the Board of Supervisors has found it to be benefit, a benefit of the public. | 00:58:31 | |
| And I'll second that Mr. Chair. OK. We have a motion in the second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye, Aye. | 00:58:37 | |
| Motion carries. Next item is 3 E Information Discussion Action to Approve Economic Development Agreement number 113023 between | 00:58:43 | |
| Haley County and Love where you live in the amount of $250 for the October Fest 2023 to provide for the upkeep of parks and | 00:58:52 | |
| support of local clubs, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Supervisor Humphrey Yeah, this was one | 00:59:00 | |
| came before earlier and I asked Ablett instead of the side because the way it was written. | 00:59:08 | |
| It was not for the benefit of the parks as to which I thought it was. If you remember, I stated that in the meeting and so the way | 00:59:17 | |
| it was presented, it was not what it was actually for and so. | 00:59:25 | |
| We we redid it and and came before the board with this now that it is for the benefits of the of the dog parks in the local area | 00:59:35 | |
| and so that's that. | 00:59:42 | |
| That's my two cents worth and I don't have anyone here to speak on that today because I didn't think it was necessary because. | 00:59:49 | |
| I I do believe it's for the benefit to the public that have so many animals in use, the dog parks in the area. | 00:59:58 | |
| Thank you supervisor. | 01:00:07 | |
| Surprising how many dog parks do we have in Globe? | 01:00:10 | |
| There's like five I think. I'm not sure right off the top, but. | 01:00:13 | |
| The each. | 01:00:18 | |
| There's several different walk. | 01:00:20 | |
| Four dogs. | 01:00:24 | |
| And then and so the $250 you're just going to break up between the parts is what you're thinking about. Yeah, it's for the for the | 01:00:26 | |
| benefit of the dog parts. | 01:00:30 | |
| OK, I have no questions. So with that, I'll entertain a motion that must include the benefit of the public comment. | 01:00:38 | |
| OK, so. | 01:00:45 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll move to approve the Economic Development Agreement number 113023. | 01:00:47 | |
| With love where you live as presented and which has been determined to be for the benefit of the public. | 01:00:55 | |
| I'll second that, Mr. Chair. OK. Motion second to approve those in favor. Say aye. Aye, Aye. | 01:01:03 | |
| Motion carries. Thank you, Item F. | 01:01:09 | |
| Information, discussion, action to prove each board member. | 01:01:12 | |

| Get rid of. | 01:03:14 | |
| OK. Thank you supervisor client. | 01:03:15 | |
| Yeah, I'm the same. I'm good. OK, I'm as well, but umm. | 01:03:18 | |
| Should my? | 01:03:23 | |
| Also include a board member of the CSA which. | 01:03:25 | |
| Oh, I'm on the legislative policy and. | 01:03:31 | |
| The representative to the. | 01:03:35 | |
| Is that is that something that should be included? Mr. Chairman, Supervisors each All three of you are members of the executive | 01:03:38 | |
| board of the County supervisors Association. | 01:03:43 | |
| So we could include that for all three of you, but it is each. | 01:03:48 | |
| Are on. That's why it's not included, because it's not specific, OK? | 01:03:53 | |
| Thanks for that clarification. Yeah, OK. With that, I will entertain. | 01:03:57 | |
| Mr. Chair, I move to approve each board members representation. | 01:04:02 | |
| On various boards, committees, and organizations for 2024 as agreed. | 01:04:07 | |
| Two by each board member and Mr. Chair, I'll second that have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye aye. | 01:04:13 | |
| Motion carries. | 01:04:18 | |
| OK. On the 3G? | 01:04:24 | |
| Information, discussion and action to authorize the. | 01:04:27 | |
| Advertisement of requests for qualifications number 120423. Professional consulting firms specializing in solid waste. | 01:04:31 | |
| Operations we have Homera with. | 01:04:41 | |
| Chairman, board members, thank you very much. | 01:04:44 | |
| Melanie would be here, but she wanted to spend one more day with her mom and so took a vacation day. Today I will present for her. | 01:04:48 | |
| This board item is all about process improvement. We mentioned we would do something like this at the work session that we | 01:04:56 | |
| provided on landfills and that is to seek out a third party expert on landfills And we had looked at a model that was used | 01:05:03 | |
| elsewhere where some, some folks provided this exact service to other landfill operations. | 01:05:10 | |
| And they and we and we kind of copied the scope of work. It's like a four page scope of work with a lot of detail because we used | 01:05:17 | |
| the work that somebody else had done. | 01:05:22 | |
| And we saw the results of that scope of work, and so we'd like to pursue the same thing. | 01:05:28 | |
| And and this is what this request for qualifications is about. It's for the recycling and landfill management division to seek a | 01:05:33 | |
| qualified professional consulting firm to provide a high level. | 01:05:39 | |
| For the Gila County landfill. | 01:05:46 | |
| And and we're asking the board to approve this RFQ for this purpose, this purpose of to pursue, to put, to put an advertisement | 01:05:48 | |
| out to look for a qualified candidate that can do this. And there are various firms that can do this. They specialize in this. | 01:05:54 | |
| They actually have libraries of video training. | 01:06:01 | |
| That they offer as part of the service that they. | 01:06:07 | |
| That our folks can get online and look at the training on how to operate the landfill, what are the safety, the operate, the | 01:06:10 | |
| equipment and things like that. When when we look at the type of firm that we're looking for somebody that can come in and talk | 01:06:16 | |
| about the safety operation. | 01:06:22 | |
| About our policies, about the equipment operation, about how best to fill the landfill, how to take advantage of every last square | 01:06:28 | |
| cubic foot of airspace, all these kinds of things. It's the entire ball of batch of operating a landfill. | 01:06:36 | |
| And to come back with a recommendation that says this is what we think you can improve. | 01:06:44 | |
| These are things you ought to be doing. | 01:06:49 | |
| This is a policy. You ought to change this policy and we would bring this gap analysis or this, this, this, this. | 01:06:51 | |
| Document. | 01:06:59 | |
| Response from them back and shared with the board and we'll take advantage of the things that we can take advantage and learn from | 01:07:00 | |
| them. | 01:07:03 | |
| And you know of of the many operations that we have, the landfill, we've seen people come and go and Melanie's here, she has | 01:07:08 | |
| extensive experience in landfill and recycling. | 01:07:13 | |
| But our supervisors are fairly new. They're less than one year, one year of seniority. One of them has just several months of the | 01:07:19 | |
| folks that run the landfill, OK. The other one has about years of experience and they're gaining experience. They become a | 01:07:26 | |
| supervisor of the landfill with Gila County. It's not that we hired them as having that supervisory skill. | 01:07:33 | |
| So we're training them. | 01:07:41 | |
| And and I think of the operations that that are in public works, this is a great concept to pursue something like this so that we | 01:07:42 | |
| can learn from others and move this process improvement a little quicker than we would otherwise. Yes, you could say we could | 01:07:50 | |
| learn to do these things over time. We just don't have that luxury I don't think. And so we'd like to ask for the board to to to | 01:07:57 | |
| approve the advertisement for the request for qualifications number 120423. | 01:08:04 | |
| Professional consulting firms specializing in solid waste operations and and with that. | 01:08:12 | |
| I'll take any questions please. Thank you. Mayoral Supervisor Humphrey. | 01:08:19 | |
| I I think this is a good deal, you know, with all the problems that we had in closing the landfill and and things that were costly | 01:08:24 | |
| to us because they weren't done correctly. And I'm not, you know, blaming anybody, but but education is very important and like | 01:08:31 | |
| you say, we can learn to do things but we can't learn to do things without a teacher. | 01:08:37 | |
| And and so you know with us looking at you know what expanding another landfill and and trying to get as much use as we can out of | 01:08:44 | |
| the one we have. | 01:08:49 | |
| And even perhaps, you know, get more into recycling and stuff, I think it would be great to. | 01:08:54 | |
| I think every money well spent in finding someone to help us do our landfills better than they have been done in the past. | 01:09:01 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you. And Supervisor Klein. Yeah, thanks for Merrill for for looking into this. | 01:09:10 | |
| This could provide us a little help with one impatient as well, if they think there's a chance we could get it extended a little | 01:09:17 | |
| before we have to tie in there and have a new landfill. | 01:09:23 | |
| We did something like this, yes. This would be for both landfills and the training would take place at both landfills. | 01:09:29 | |
| And both the landfill that we have here, the sequencing of how we best utilize the existing landfill as well as best utilize the | 01:09:36 | |
| remaining space at the landfill in Buckhead Mesa, those were items that are in the scope of work for them to provide for us. So | 01:09:43 | |
| there's a good chance the money we put into this. | 01:09:50 | |
| Pay for. | 01:09:58 | |
| Yes, we, we we this corporate work that we saw was targeted something less than $50,000. | 01:10:01 | |
| And and we're not making a decision ahead of time or anything like that, but we think that the cost will be in that range. And and | 01:10:09 | |
| I I believe that the benefits would far exceed that cost. Yeah. Thank you, ****. | 01:10:14 | |
| Yes, thank you, Romero and thank Melanie. I think this is exactly the right direction to go. | 01:10:21 | |
| And I'd be very interested. | 01:10:27 | |
| What that looks like, what the cost will be and how we can improve what we're doing. | 01:10:31 | |
| Make things smarter. Better. With that, I'll entertain a motion, Mr. Chair. I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of | 01:10:35 | |
| Request for qualifications number 120423. Mr. Chair. I'll second that. We have a motion and a second to approve all those in | 01:10:41 | |
| favor. Say aye. Aye, Aye. | 01:10:46 | |
| Thank you, Romero. And I want to make a comment. OK, before we go to the next item, I want to praise you and Melanie and the | 01:10:53 | |
| landfill. | 01:10:57 | |
| Department this Saturday. | 01:11:01 | |
| Before Christmas. | 01:11:04 | |
| I went out to the landfill at Buckhead Mesa. It was drizzly and rainy. | 01:11:07 | |
| And there was no one, no customers were coming, you know, so I got out there. | 01:11:12 | |
| When? | 01:11:20 | |
| The personnel that we're working. | 01:11:22 | |
| Our employees were. | 01:11:25 | |
| Raking trash up around the fences and. | 01:11:28 | |
| The little Hut there and they were cleaning things. | 01:11:32 | |
| In the rain. | 01:11:36 | |
| Because they're self motivated. | 01:11:39 | |
| And I was very impressed by that when they had every excuse in the world. | 01:11:41 | |
| To just huddle inside and keep warm. | 01:11:45 | |
| I want to, I want you to share that with Melanie. Thank you very much and I will I'm, I'm very pleased with the with the landfill | 01:11:49 | |
| staff. | 01:11:52 | |
| They are trying to do the very best that they can and I'm happy to hear that, that that that shows. | 01:11:58 | |
| And we'll continue to behave that way. Thank you Romero. Item 3H Information Discussion Action to about Resolution #24-01-02 | 01:12:04 | |
| Accepting the Quitclaim deed for Ike Clark Parkway in Young, AZ, establishing the road as a primitive road, and accepting it into | 01:12:11 | |
| the Gila County Maintained roadway system as a Primitive Rd. | 01:12:19 | |
| Thank you. This is about designating this board item is about designating art I Clark Parkway in young AZ. It's a primitive road | 01:12:29 | |
| and for the county to maintain that road This this road is is approximately 1/4 of a mile and it starts at the Baker Ranch Rd. And | 01:12:36 | |
| then runs runs all the way up to the floor for service section and and it had a corners across the central National Forest back | 01:12:44 | |
| into other other parcels and other private property. | 01:12:51 | |
| But what we're talking about today is that section between Biker Ranch Rd. And for service it's about 1/4 mile. | 01:12:59 | |
| Quit Claim deed for. | 01:13:07 | |
| Ike Clark Parkway and for Baker Ranch Rd. were both granted to HeLa County in 19/19/83. At that time Gila County took action to | 01:13:11 | |
| accept Baker Ranch Rd. into our county maintained Rd. system but took no action on on I Clark Parkway. So today we're here to. | 01:13:22 | |
| To ask the board to accept I Clark Parkway as a primitive road and and to accept the the quick claim deed as well. | 01:13:32 | |
| The the Primitive Rd. of course, will allow us to maintain the road several times a year. It does have. | 01:13:44 | |
| A low traffic count I will say of 34 vehicles per day but it's a road that could have been accepted in the past and and and | 01:13:53 | |
| there's there's. | 01:13:58 | |
| Significant need need for the road from the public because it does like I said lead to other parcels beyond this quarter mile. And | 01:14:03 | |
| so with that I would like to ask for the board to accept the quick claim deep for I Parkway in young AZ and establish the road as | 01:14:11 | |
| a primitive Rd. so that we can maintain that as part of our county maintain a roadway system. | 01:14:18 | |
| Thank you, homeroom supervisor, Hump. | 01:14:25 | |
| Yeah, I just, I just want to bring up the fact that Primitive Rd. is primitive road and it's not going to be maintained once a | 01:14:28 | |
| week because our Primitive Rd. is is is set. | 01:14:34 | |
| To maintain them. How often home arrow there? There's no set a couple of times a year. Yeah. OK, that's fine. Yeah, I just, I just | 01:14:40 | |
| wanted to bring that up because all of a sudden the county takes over a road and we take over a lot of roads in a lot of different | 01:14:45 | |
| categories. | 01:14:50 | |
| And I just wanted everybody to know that it's a couple times a year that it will be maintained not once a week. That's all. Thank | 01:14:56 | |
| you, Supervisor Klein. | 01:15:01 | |
| I was hoping we're going to pay that next week. Bring it, bring it, bring it to the board. Is it your driveway? No, it's not my | 01:15:07 | |
| driveway. Bring it to the board. No. But what wasn't in that was that first quarter mile was is pretty low maintenance type Rd. | 01:15:14 | |
| But it's going into area that's being pretty well developed. A lot of houses are being built in there and properties being sold | 01:15:22 | |
| and and things like that. So, Homer, thank you for doing that. | 01:15:29 | |
| OK. With that, I will call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I move to adopt resolution #24-01-O2 as presented. | 01:15:38 | |
| And I'll second that all those in favor, say aye, aye aye motion carries. Thank you, Romero. Next item is 3 I information | 01:15:47 | |
| discussion action to adopt resolution #24-01-01 authorizing the abandonment of 1706 square feet of unneeded Pinion Dr. cul-de-sac | 01:15:57 | |
| in exchange for the acquisition of 2003 square feet of assessors parcel number 30131062. | 01:16:08 | |
| For a new right of way and authorizing the Chairman signature on the quick claim Deed to Teresa Burkhart and Francis M Ostman. | 01:16:18 | |
| As successor Co trustees of the Liu Chebowski Living Trust home. | 01:16:28 | |
| Thank you. | 01:16:36 | |
| So the owners of 5665 W Pinion Drive in Pine at their lot survey and discovered that A. | 01:16:38 | |
| And a part of a carport were inadvertently built in a cul-de-sac adjoining the east side of their lot. | 01:16:46 | |
| At the same time, with the same survey, they discovered that Gila County was encroaching on their property as part of a roadway | 01:16:52 | |
| system. | 01:16:57 | |
| An existing Rd. that we have Pena, except that it veered off the road right of way onto their property. | 01:17:02 | |
| And Exhibit A shows that section the hash line is shows part of the road that we're going to just today and and the and the quick | 01:17:10 | |
| claim that we're asking from them in exchange for exhibit. | 01:17:16 | |
| Next one, the next one. | 01:17:25 | |
| It shouldn't be. What show part of the cul-de-sac that is really not used today. It's not used today and it's not going to be used | 01:17:29 | |
| in the future. I think You there we go. | 01:17:34 | |
| Hasn't been used, will not be used. There's no need for that cul-de-sac and we're and and so we're exchanging the encroachment | 01:17:40 | |
| area of Pinion Rd. for this half quarter circle of the cul-de-sac, which is about the same square footages of a property one for | 01:17:47 | |
| the other. So that we can continue to maintain Pinion Rd. where it's at without having to do any new construction or anything like | 01:17:54 | |
| that. | 01:18:01 | |
| And allowing them to use that. | 01:18:08 | |
| Order of the circle for their chant and for their carport that you see on this property here. | 01:18:12 | |
| This is a benefit to Tehela County. It's a benefit to the Cherbowski. | 01:18:19 | |
| And and there's really no reason not to do this. Like I mentioned, the cul-de-sac is not used. It's not being utilized and will | 01:18:26 | |
| not be utilized. It's in an area where. | 01:18:30 | |
| It would. There was no need to have a cul-de-sac and so this benefits everybody without causing any harm to anyone else. And so | 01:18:35 | |
| with that, I'd like to ask the Board to adopt resolution number 2401, dash 01, authorizing the abandonment of 1706 square feet of | 01:18:43 | |
| unneeded Pinion Dr. cul-de-sac in exchange for the acquisition of 2003 square feet. | 01:18:50 | |
| Of Assessor Parcel #301-31O60. | 01:18:59 | |
| For the new right of way and authorizing the chairman's signature on the quickplay beat of Theresa Perkart and Francis M Ostman, A | 01:19:03 | |
| successor Co trustees of the Lucha Bowski Living Trust. | 01:19:08 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I I think it's great that we clear up a lot of these things and it still looks like there's | 01:19:14 | |
| room for someone to turn around and be into that road if if needed. So no, Thank you very much for cleaning up some of these loose | 01:19:20 | |
| ends. Appreciate it. Supervisor. Client. Thank you, Homero. Yes, thank you, Homero. Tidy things up with that. I will entertain a | 01:19:26 | |
| motion. | 01:19:32 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution number 24/01/01 is presented. | 01:19:39 | |
| I'll second that. And with those motions, all those in favor say aye. | 01:19:46 | |
| Motion carries So Item 3J Information Discussion Action to authorize the advertisement or invitation for bids number 113023 to | 01:19:52 | |
| purchase 13 new General Fund vehicles as outlined in the Solicitation of. | 01:20:00 | |
| So every year, thank you, Chairman. Every year we look at our vehicle list of vehicles and we ask ourselves, how old are they? How | 01:20:10 | |
| many miles do they have and how much does it cost to maintain? And we prioritize these lists based on those 3 characteristics. | 01:20:17 | |
| From the worst to the ones that are the new. | 01:20:25 | |
| And so at the same time we turn to our County Manager and and and you the Board and we determine what capital monies we have | 01:20:29 | |
| available to purchase new vehicles and the 13 vehicles that are being presented today. | 01:20:37 | |
| Are in line with those two items capital budget that was available for this fiscal year. | 01:20:46 | |
| For vehicles and vehicles that we should be replacing. | 01:20:51 | |
| So there's 13 vehicles at the bottom that we take and we say these are the oldest and the worst and we're going to move them out | 01:20:55 | |
| and we bring in new vehicles. | 01:21:00 | |
| And there. | 01:21:04 | |
| A common sense way of taking a new vehicle and asking yourself where should this new vehicle go to? Does it go to I'm going to use | 01:21:07 | |
| the landfill operation, does it go to the landfill operation where a vehicle may just be used on the landfill and it doesn't have | 01:21:12 | |
| to go to Phoenix every week or every other week? | 01:21:18 | |
| Or it's only being used in the landfill? Should the landfill get a new vehicle? The answer, I think, is obviously no. | 01:21:24 | |
| That landfill is OK using a vehicle that's three or four years old, OK. And so we use this, we call it the trickle down method of | 01:21:32 | |
| taking the newest vehicle and putting it where we think it belongs and then taking the the slightly older vehicles. It can be | 01:21:37 | |
| something like two or three years where we've been using that with different departments where they don't get and they see they | 01:21:43 | |
| don't get necessarily a new vehicle. | 01:21:48 | |
| They get a vehicle that stored three years and we try to put the new vehicles as much as we can into fleet. | 01:21:54 | |
| And that's what this board item tries to explain. | 01:22:00 | |
| That we're buying 13 new vehicles and we're going to make the decision where best to put them. Board item actually states where we | 01:22:03 | |
| think today these 13 vehicles will go. But that the I'm not going to say that the clever didn't come from me. The clever idea that | 01:22:09 | |
| was put into how we purchased this vehicle. If we're going to go out and request for bids to the open public OK to the open to the | 01:22:16 | |
| to all the dealers that may want to bid bid on these vehicles. | 01:22:22 | |
| It's gonna be a public, a public bid. | 01:22:29 | |
| They may. They can come back and we can pick and choose the cars from different dealers depending on convenience and cost. | 01:22:32 | |
| OK, we want them now. We don't want. | 01:22:41 | |
| 18 months from now. | 01:22:43 | |
| We want those vehicles now. | 01:22:45 | |
| And so we're going to get them from the probably the most, the ones that are lowest cost that are available within a reasonable | 01:22:48 | |
| amount of time. And based on when we get those vehicles then we will make a final decision as to how we distribute the vehicles. | 01:22:55 | |
| But in the board item there is a for every vehicle we're showing where where that vehicle goes. | 01:23:02 | |
| And and we just reserved. | 01:23:10 | |
| Unless they the common sense approach of making that decision at A at a future point in time in the final decision. | 01:23:15 | |
| So, so with that, without having to read how we exchange all these vehicles, they're here on the board item. | 01:23:25 | |
| I would like to ask the board to approve this invitation for BIDS number eleven 3023 for 13 various models of new vehicles and | 01:23:33 | |
| with that I'll accept any questions. Thank you Supervisor Humphrey. | 01:23:40 | |
| Yeah, there's two questions. | 01:23:47 | |
| So the ones that OK, we're going to get 13, that means we're going to be getting rid of about 13 or thereabouts. And so those will | 01:23:50 | |
| be either trade insurance or auctioned. | 01:23:55 | |
| Very good question. Thank you. Not only are we getting rid of 13, we're getting rid of, we're getting, we're auctioning 13 + 2 | 01:24:01 | |
| more. | 01:24:05 | |
| OK. There's folks that you were trying to reduce the fleet size and oftentimes somebody will say if I, if I, if I get a new | 01:24:09 | |
| vehicle, I'll turn. | 01:24:13 | |
| And so in this particular case, there's the other 15 vehicles that are going to find their way to the auction block. | 01:24:17 | |
| OK, good. And and and I I guess another question I had is I noticed that a lot of our trucks are Fords and so with us purchasing | 01:24:25 | |
| 13 new vehicles, you said it's going to go out public, is that the Dodge, Chevys, Chryslers, Fords, what, whatever. | 01:24:32 | |
| I would prefer to have words today. | 01:24:42 | |
| OK, ask. | 01:24:45 | |
| Supervisor Climb. | 01:24:50 | |
| Tomorrow. Thanks. So when we do these, this, these purchases on this, is this the only purchaser And beyond vehicles are, you | 01:24:52 | |
| know, fun for this year. | 01:24:56 | |
| Unless, unless there's a grant right now we've been approached that there's grant money available for this is not general fund for | 01:25:03 | |
| a couple of vehicles and if they have to spend it by a certain amount of time. And so we may be coming to you next board meeting | 01:25:09 | |
| or in early February pending approval from the county manager for two vehicles like for probation where they got 90% of the funds | 01:25:16 | |
| and they're looking for somebody to help them with 10% more to get. | 01:25:22 | |
| So yes, these are, these are mostly all the general fund vehicles with a few exceptions, OK. In the end you would see those | 01:25:29 | |
| exceptions and we would have to pass the, the, the, the, the finance part, the budget part as well as the county manager before we | 01:25:36 | |
| came here. This is mostly for all the general fund vehicles including. | 01:25:42 | |
| We previously we purchased some sheriff's vehicles. | 01:25:50 | |
| And and these are or for the rest of the general fund vehicles. Thank you, Homer. | 01:25:53 | |
| Thank you. Homero is one of these vehicles, the one we discussed. | 01:26:01 | |
| The animal control vehicle. | 01:26:07 | |
| No. | 01:26:11 | |
| That we. | 01:26:14 | |
| A vehicle and appropriate vehicle for ramp animal control that had low mileage of fairly new or had poor utilization. | 01:26:16 | |
| And they're gonna get that vehicle. I see. Thank you. Hom. | 01:26:24 | |
| With that, I will entertain. | 01:26:29 | |
| Make a comment, sorry, sorry. | 01:26:31 | |
| With the state they've got, there's a lot of money that has come in through with COVAD related funding. | 01:26:35 | |
| And some of those cases the funding was so much that their idle money that's sitting available at the state level. We continue to | 01:26:42 | |
| work with the state through various departments at the state to get funding for vehicles. So and and the question or comment is, | 01:26:48 | |
| is this it? | 01:26:54 | |
| I've had conversations in the last month. | 01:27:01 | |
| Well, we might be able to get this $250,000. | 01:27:04 | |
| That we can use for vehicles. | 01:27:07 | |
| Covert Bunny that's sitting there not being. | 01:27:10 | |
| And if it's not used, it's going to go back to the federal government. So it's kind of, as Homer indicated, that there's some flux | 01:27:13 | |
| and some flexibility that we're looking at. | 01:27:18 | |
| But for now this is the funding and continue to work to get additional funds perhaps replace these general fund dollars that we | 01:27:23 | |
| don't have to spend all general fund dollars for these 13 vehicles, but then we can go ahead and and get these on order and. | 01:27:30 | |
| And it's been determined. | 01:27:38 | |
| Mr. Vera and his team that these are the ones that need to be replaced now. | 01:27:40 | |
| Thank you, Mr. John. Thank you for that clarification. We still everybody good. With that I will call for motion Mr. I move to | 01:27:45 | |
| authorize the advertisement invitation for bid number 113023 as presented and I'll second that motion and a second to approve | 01:27:52 | |
| those in favor say aye. | 01:27:58 | |
| Item 3K Information Discussion Action to authorize. | 01:28:05 | |
| The advertisement for invitation for bid number 112023, The Walnut Springs Blvd. Culvert replacement. | 01:28:10 | |
| Chairman Alex Kendrick, a member of our engineering staff, will provide this item for public. OK. Thank you, Alex. | 01:28:19 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for advisors. Thank you Director Villa. This is a request to advertise an invitation for bid | 01:28:27 | |
| number 1123023 for Walnut Springs Blvd. It's the Walnut Canyon cover. | 01:28:33 | |
| Replacement project Currently there's five culverts that got damaged when the last floodwaters came through after a fire came | 01:28:41 | |
| through, and so this work would be to remove those existing 536 inch culverts and construct. | 01:28:48 | |
| New 2 year old 10 + 16 concrete blocks culvert. | 01:28:57 | |
| To match up with what? | 01:29:01 | |
| A dot has on 80. | 01:29:04 | |
| 188 The Department of Forestry and Fire Management, Diffum is partially funding this project in the amount of $367,805.82. | 01:29:07 | |
| The remainder would be the responsibility of Gil. | 01:29:20 | |
| The resource request from diplomas are 33204509. | 01:29:23 | |
| So with the available of funding from Diffum and then the transportation excise tax revenue, Gila County should be able to fund | 01:29:30 | |
| this project which will make a substantial impact to the community. | 01:29:36 | |
| Are there any questions? Thanks, Alex, Supervisor. | 01:29:43 | |
| No questions, but thank you because I think this has been put off for quite some time to get easements in order to be able to do | 01:29:48 | |
| this, correct? | 01:29:52 | |
| And so thank you very much for your persistence in working with these these easements from property owners to benefit the | 01:29:57 | |
| community. You know, it's just great because there was a lot of things and why it wasn't done and this and that and. | 01:30:03 | |
| And so thank you very much for your persistence on, on continuing to to benefit the public supervisor Klein. Alex, thank you. I'm | 01:30:09 | |
| good. Yeah, thank you, Alex. It looks like our cost might be 20,000 or so. | 01:30:17 | |
| Right in that vicinity approximately. So we're getting a pretty good bang for the buck as of right now. That's what it's looking | 01:30:25 | |
| like. Yes. OK. Thanks, Alex. With that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of | 01:30:30 | |
| invitation for bids number 112023 as presented. | 01:30:36 | |
| I'll second that Mr. Chair 8 motion, and a second to approve those in favor. Say aye, Aye, aye, Aye. | 01:30:42 | |
| Motion carries item 3L. Thank you, Alex. | 01:30:49 | |
| Information Discussion Action to approve Intergovernmental Agreement number 100923 with the Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire | 01:30:53 | |
| District, which allows. | 01:30:58 | |
| Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire District to purchase fuel at the Young County Road Yard Fuel Depot. | 01:31:05 | |
| Thank you. | 01:31:14 | |
| This item like the next two items or about IGA's with our communities. | 01:31:15 | |
| That allow them to purchase fuel from us. In all three cases they have a previous IGA with the county and some path in the past, | 01:31:22 | |
| whether it's the immediate past or a more distant past. There has been an IGA with with each of these previously, so this one is | 01:31:30 | |
| with Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire District and as you can imagine, they benefit from having a source of fuel that's available to | 01:31:38 | |
| them in during emergencies at all times. | 01:31:46 | |
| Because we would be working alongside with them in the event of an emergency. | 01:31:55 | |
| So our facility would be open to them, they would have available, the amount of fuel that would be available to them would be a | 01:32:00 | |
| sizable quantity. | 01:32:04 | |
| And it would, it offers a great benefit to them and so we would like to enter into an IGA with them. It would be a five year term | 01:32:09 | |
| on the IGA that will allow us to purchase fuel from us. | 01:32:15 | |
| In our cost plus 1818 cents a gallon in addition to that, that's all spelled out in the IGA. | 01:32:22 | |
| And we recover everything that we spend plus the time, the administrative cost that that we would. | 01:32:31 | |
| In providing the fuel to. | 01:32:37 | |
| So with that, I would like to ask for board approval for IGA number 100923 with Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire District, which | 01:32:41 | |
| allows the district to purchase fuel from our facility in. | 01:32:48 | |
| Thank you, Romero Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I put a, you know, thought into these because the IGA will, as you say, the ones | 01:32:56 | |
| coming up as well, it's like, OK, they're buying fuel somewhere now. So what jeopardy are we doing? | 01:33:04 | |
| To a private business whom is selling fuel and so I kind of battle against, you know, helping the helping the private business | 01:33:12 | |
| owner, but you know, when it comes down to it. | 01:33:19 | |
| They have a lot of people to sell fuel to and and and by by coming up with these, the availability to the individuals in a little | 01:33:27 | |
| bit of cost. | 01:33:32 | |
| Benefit to. | 01:33:39 | |
| Overall, I think it's beneficial to these entities to for us to be able to IGA with. So thank you very much for working on this | 01:33:40 | |
| home now. | 01:33:46 | |
| Thank you supervisor. | 01:33:52 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair I. | 01:33:55 | |
| From what I know. | 01:33:57 | |
| I can tell you there's only one other fuel source in young Arizona. So there's not like there's a competitive deal going on there. | 01:33:59 | |
| So they if you get it, but also on their pumps. And I'd say that time you remember exactly what I said. But I know that they're | 01:34:06 | |
| not taking fake cards and some other different cards at those pumps. I'm not sure really what the option is in. | 01:34:12 | |
| For the fire department or the school as far as fuel but. | 01:34:20 | |
| Well, I understand that. We've been doing this now for a little while anyway, right? Homer, for the last 2-3 years, four years, | 01:34:25 | |
| whatever it's been. | 01:34:29 | |
| Yes, we've been. We've been. They've had an IGA with us previously. Yeah. So thank you for doing this, Homer. | 01:34:32 | |
| Thank you, Mayor. No questions for me. I'll talk for a motion. | 01:34:40 | |
| Mr. Chair, I moved to approve Intergovernmental Agreement number 100923 with the Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Department as | 01:34:46 | |
| presented, and I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor. Say aye. | 01:34:52 | |
| Motion carries Item 3 M, the information Discussion action to approve an IGA number 101023 with public with Young Public Unified | 01:35:00 | |
| School District #5, which allows the district to purchase fuel. | 01:35:07 | |
| At the young county. | 01:35:15 | |
| Yard fuel depot. | 01:35:17 | |
| This particular item is the IGA with Young Public Unified School District #5. | 01:35:20 | |
| And we have been selling fuel to young school district. A letter is on file that requested an IGA to purchase fuel. However, we | 01:35:26 | |
| could find a copy of the executed IGA. | 01:35:31 | |
| So this is a little different than in the first one that I talked about and the next one that I'm going to talk about a little | 01:35:37 | |
| bit. | 01:35:40 | |
| And so we would like to make this formal IGA agreement with them active and. | 01:35:44 | |
| If you if you look at the very last. | 01:35:53 | |
| Item on your presentation, it's up on the board right now. It showed, it actually shows the fuel that we've sold to these various | 01:35:58 | |
| organizations in the last year. | 01:36:02 | |
| From 2022, I'm sorry, it was in the in the year. | 01:36:07 | |
| 19/20/2022. | 01:36:13 | |
| And you can see that it varies. But Pleasant Valley Fire and the Young School district were buying. | 01:36:15 | |
| Relatively low amount of fuel and so if you're if you're running the fire truck only in in the young area and and you don't have | 01:36:22 | |
| that many fires. You could understand that maybe they wouldn't use that much fuel. But again the important portion for the fire | 01:36:28 | |
| district is in the event of an emergency and you could probably say the same thing for the school district that if there's a | 01:36:33 | |
| there's a significant snowfall out there and. | 01:36:39 | |
| And they thought the route for the school, but they haven't plopped the fight over then. | 01:36:45 | |
| The source of fuel for them would be at at the Gila County facility. | 01:36:53 | |
| And the school district has used at that time and for that year, a little higher level fuel than than the fire district. | 01:36:58 | |
| So we would like to put an IGA as a formal agreement with the Young school district, the purchased fuel at the Young County Road | 01:37:06 | |
| Yard fuel Depot. And with that I'll entertain any questions. Thank you Mayoral Supervisor Humphrey, no comments. Thank you | 01:37:12 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 01:37:19 | |
| Yeah, I don't have anything. I guess the one thing I would say in some of these areas is. | 01:37:26 | |
| Cost of fuel is really high through some of these pumps. And so there's one way of looking at this if if we're providing diesel | 01:37:33 | |
| and fuel at a cheaper rate, we're also saving taxpayer dollars. So, so that's the other twist to this story anyway, but thank you | 01:37:38 | |
| for doing this, Homero. | 01:37:44 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Klein. And with that, I will call for. | 01:37:51 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Intergovernmental Agreement number 101023 with the Young Public Unified School District | 01:37:55 | |
| #5 as presented. | 01:38:01 | |
| I'll second that. OK, We have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye. | 01:38:09 | |
| Motion carries. | 01:38:17 | |
| Last item home Merrill #3. | 01:38:19 | |
| Information, discussion, actions Approve an IG. | 01:38:23 | |
| 100823 between Gila County and the Tall Basin Fire District, which allows the district to purchase fuel from Ela County. | 01:38:26 | |
| Thank you. Before I talk a little bit about the Tanto Base and Fire district IGA, I just like to mention that we recover our full | 01:38:34 | |
| cost for the fuel with these IGA. | 01:38:40 | |
| There is a commodity price for fuel that's used in the United States and is published every week on Monday morning. We take that | 01:38:47 | |
| number and anything that's purchased that week based on that Monday price is what they pay. Plus they pay a delivery fee and their | 01:38:54 | |
| profit fee, that's a delivery fee which includes all costs for the for the vendor that sells to the fuel and and they they pay the | 01:39:01 | |
| hearth tax and then on top of that they pay the county administrative cost of $0.18. | 01:39:08 | |
| So I've often wanted to go to the fuel pumps and see which one is more expensive or not. | 01:39:16 | |
| But it's probably comparable because I don't think that there's a big cost savings for them to purchase from us. I think what we | 01:39:21 | |
| really offer is the dependability, reliability and and availability of that fuel at the fuel pump at all times, especially at | 01:39:26 | |
| times of needs. I think that that's what we bring to the table for these entities. I just wanted to kind of share that thought, | 01:39:31 | |
| OK. | 01:39:37 | |
| So it's IGA 100823 with Central Basin Fire District 2 purchases. | 01:39:43 | |
| Actually we had an IGA with them from the year 2000 and five 2010 and for some reason we didn't renew that IGA, but the fire | 01:39:51 | |
| district is interested in in again starting up at this agreement with. | 01:39:58 | |
| With Gila County and they have 16 vehicles, a piece of equipment that you feel at times of emergency. So again it's a great | 01:40:08 | |
| benefit to them. | 01:40:13 | |
| And with that, I would like to ask you to approve the IGA 100823 to allow the Council Basin Fire District to purchase fuel from | 01:40:18 | |
| Gila County. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. No questions. Supervisor Klein. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good as well. I'll entertain a | 01:40:27 | |
| motion here. I move to approve your government agreement number 100823 with the Tunnel Basin Fire District as presented. | 01:40:37 | |
| And I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor. Say aye. Thank you. Thank you. | 01:40:47 | |
| Item three O Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment #1 to Funding Agreement #203-24 between the Arizona Department of | 01:40:54 | |
| Housing and Healing County Community Services Department Housing Services to use Low Income Home Energy Assistant Program funding. | 01:41:04 | |
| And Department of Energy Weatherization Readiness funding. | 01:41:14 | |
| Fund funding. | 01:41:18 | |
| Which increases the amount of the contract by $374,487.00 for a total contract amount of 592,969. | 01:41:20 | |
| Dollars for the period of July 123 through June 30th, 2024 and we have. | 01:41:31 | |
| Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board as presented, this is significant contract increase to continue to help. | 01:41:37 | |
| With our weatherization efforts within the county, it's important to note that this will increase our requirement of completed | 01:41:45 | |
| units to 30, which means we will be helping at least 30 homes and their occupants within Gila County with a contractual of nearly | 01:41:52 | |
| $600,000 and no match requirement from the county. | 01:41:58 | |
| Thank you, Kevin. Supervisor, Hump. | 01:42:06 | |
| Yes, not all of this work needs to be VPI certified. | 01:42:09 | |
| Or does all of this work need to be PPI certified? I believe this all has to be certified. | 01:42:15 | |
| With weatherization. | 01:42:20 | |
| OK. But but some of the funding you get does not require BPI certification, OK? | 01:42:22 | |
| I said I'd ask you last time, this time, do you have some local contractors signed up for the work that does not need to be VPI | 01:42:29 | |
| certified? | 01:42:33 | |
| In the area. | 01:42:38 | |
| That's OK. Don't, don't, don't worry about it. This, we can talk about it later because if you don't have. | 01:42:42 | |
| Local contractors to Then I would like to help you get some on the list that can use funding. | 01:42:48 | |
| Chairman, members of the board. So that funding would arise under a different contract, is that correct? Yes. OK, so we could chat | 01:42:55 | |
| about that at the. | 01:42:58 | |
| Federal supervisor. | 01:43:07 | |
| Thank you. OK. Thank you, Katie. | 01:43:10 | |
| Supervisor. | 01:43:13 | |
| Good job, Kelly. Yeah. Thank you, Kaylee. So. | 01:43:15 | |
| With that, I'll call for a motion. | 01:43:21 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Amendment #1 to funding Agreement number 203. | 01:43:23 | |
| Dash 24 with Arizona Department of Housing as presented. | 01:43:30 | |
| I'll 2nd that I have a motion and a second to approve those in favor. Say aye, aye. | 01:43:34 | |
| Thank you, Kaylee. And I understand that we just recently combined the community services. | 01:43:41 | |
| And health department back together again. | 01:43:46 | |
| That's good. | 01:43:49 | |
| Item 3P. | 01:43:51 | |
| Morning. Morning. We're getting to the end here, so it's a good thing. So let me read it First, Information discussion action to | 01:43:54 | |
| approve contract agreement number 082223 with Iron Mountain Information Management LLC in the amount of $33,000 for Pack. | 01:44:03 | |
| Prep and destruction services for an estimated 1029 cartoons. | 01:44:13 | |
| As a small part of the process was not covered under previously approved Arizona State contract Ctr. | 01:44:20 | |
| 633. | 01:44:28 | |
| 70 ready. | 01:44:30 | |
| Morning again. We've talked about this prior that when we came. | 01:44:34 | |
| For all the digitizing and we had. | 01:44:38 | |
| At one time there were certain items that were not actually covered under the state contract and that's what these items are. | 01:44:41 | |
| Transportation to come pick them up, take. | 01:44:48 | |
| Destroying them and the 1029 cards is kind of. | 01:44:51 | |
| Umm, it could seem small. It's about two million pieces of paper that we're getting digitized and put into this. So this 33,000 is | 01:44:57 | |
| the amount to all of the ARPA money. It was originally out of the original contract. This is just the part that was not covered | 01:45:04 | |
| under the state contract. | 01:45:11 | |
| So I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no questions or any. | 01:45:18 | |
| Supervisor Klein. I'm good, Randy. Thanks. Yeah, thank you, Randy. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. I moved to approve | 01:45:25 | |

| Item 3 Q Information and discussion Action to review all bids submitted for Request for Proposals number 092723 Consulting | 01:45:46 | |
| Services Opioid Abatement Award, a contract to the lowest, most responsive, responsible and qualified bidder and authorized the | 01:45:54 | |
| Chairman's signature on the award contract for the winning bidder. Josh Beck. | 01:46:02 | |
| For the opioid settlement and put it out to the public to see what kinds of ideas that they would come up with, which would be | 01:46:41 | |
| different than you know the expertise that we have in the department and things that we would do. | 01:46:45 | |
| Sadly I didn't get as many bids as I wanted to receive, but the bid that we did receive is a strong bid. | 01:46:51 | |
| They're selected a good like third of the 27 page list is deliverables that they want to do some things that are in areas that are | 01:46:57 | |
| outside of our scope of work as a health department. | 01:47:02 | |
| I'm working on some the map training. The medical assistant treatments where they, you know, combinations of behavioral therapy | 01:47:09 | |
| and medications help people get through their opioid or those types of crises. | 01:47:15 | |
| They have kind of a their own type of wrap around service that they wrote into this contract. | 01:47:54 | |
| That the opioid settlement funding goes for 18 years and. | 01:49:02 | |
| Looking for him. So my agreement with them, the same as the state said to us is we're looking to make a difference in those | 01:49:06 | |
| numbers. So that's where we're at. That's what they've brought forward to us. It really is a good package. Mr. O'Driscoll and I | 01:49:12 | |
| know two of the members of the group that put this together both worked on the opioid and the prevention side with the Arizona | 01:49:17 | |
| Department of Health Services. | 01:49:23 | |
| Both really smart people, so we feel pretty good about this. | 01:49:29 | |
| Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey, no questions. Supervisor Klein. | 01:49:34 | |
| Thank you, Josh. | 01:49:38 | |
| Yes, thank you, Josh. With that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair. I'll make the motion to award a contract to yield Health Group | 01:49:40 | |
| in the amount of $389,687.96. | 01:49:46 | |
| For the project period through June 30th 25 to satisfy the deliverable of requests for proposals number 092723. | 01:49:52 | |
| I'll second that, Mr. Chair. I have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor. Say aye. Aye. Thank you, Josh. | 01:50:02 | |
| Next item is item four. It's the consent agenda item. Does anyone? | 01:50:10 | |
| One of the supervisors request request to take one of those items or more off of the consent agenda. Supervisor Humphrey, I wish | 01:50:15 | |
| to take none. | 01:50:20 | |
| Supervisor Quan, I'm good. I have a question the point of process I would like for Jessica if she's the most appropriate to | 01:50:25 | |
| explain item 4A, as we did have a session on that. Either Jessica or whoever is appropriate to say how we got to this. | 01:50:35 | |
| Item and got past the problem that we were looking at. Yes, you would need to make the motion to remove that item from the consent | 01:50:45 | |
| agenda. OK, I'll call for a motion to remove consent agenda. Item 4A from the consent agenda. | 01:50:53 | |
| I'll make the motion. | 01:51:01 | |
| OK. And I will second have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor, say aye, aye. OK. So let's address that item | 01:51:04 | |
| specifically now please, certainly. | 01:51:10 | |
| So members, supervisors. So I spoke out, spoke to other deputy. | 01:51:17 | |
| Attorneys from other counties, and they do go through the process without. | 01:51:22 | |
| Forming a ICA. Now Santa Cruz does have a formal ITA. | 01:51:28 | |
| They are not being charged the 26 overhead percent. | 01:51:33 | |
| Not sure why we could dig into that if you choose. However, the other counties are moving forward with the appropriation. Without | 01:51:38 | |
| that, they are going through the authority of Arash 3-124. This is because the county Agriculture Extension Extension Board, they | 01:51:45 | |
| were the ones to determine the appropriation. They approved it per that statute. It now comes before the board. You can simply | 01:51:52 | |
| make the appropriation without forming the IGA. | 01:51:59 | |
| OK. So you feel comfortable with that now? Yes. OK, thank you. So with that, I'll call for a motion to approve. | 01:52:07 | |
| What was previously Consent agenda? Item 4A, Mr. Chair. | 01:52:13 | |
| I'll second. OK. We have a motion in a second to approve that item. All those in favor say aye. | 01:52:18 | |
| Aye. And with that, then I will call for a motion to approve consent agenda items 4B through 4:00. | 01:52:24 | |
| Mr. Chair, I make a motion. | 01:52:34 | |
| Approved consent to agenda items for B through 4M. | 01:52:38 | |
| And I'll second that. OK. We have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, aye, Aye. | 01:52:46 | |
| Thank you and. | 01:52:52 | |
| Item 5 called to the public. Is there anyone present? | 01:52:54 | |
| Flow today that wishes to address the board. | 01:52:58 | |
| Is there anyone in Payson that wishes to address the board? | 01:53:01 | |
| And thank you and Cassandra. | 01:53:06 | |
| No. OK. So then we'll move on. At this time, we will allow the Board of Supervisors, County Manager to have a brief summary of | 01:53:09 | |
| current events. So I'll turn it over to Manager Menlo. | 01:53:14 | |
| As Chairman members of board, thank you for a moment. | 01:53:21 | |
| I just wanted to make you aware or remind you that as of yesterday, the Board of Advisors in adopting the fiscal year 2324 budget, | 01:53:23 | |
| there was an amount of 1.6% that was included in departmental office budgets. | 01:53:31 | |
| To impact employ. | 01:53:39 | |
| Salary information or the amount that people are paid, It's 1.6% included in each department in each office that was affected | 01:53:44 | |
| yesterday, so those are going into effect. | 01:53:49 | |
| Checked with human resources and they are working through that process. Take a look at at the information that's presented. I've | 01:53:55 | |
| got received no or no information that there's any issues, any challenges, any problems with the implementation of that. So it | 01:54:01 | |
| fully affect expect that it'll. | 01:54:07 | |
| Let's see. First full paper is starting on the 1st, so it's about. | 01:54:14 | |
| 1718 that. | 01:54:19 | |
| Employee. | 01:54:22 | |
| Their paychecks will be impacted and they should get a raise and it's based on the elected official or department director for | 01:54:25 | |
| that applicable office or department. | 01:54:30 | |
| If there's any comments. | 01:54:39 | |
| We're glad. Be glad to meet with you and discuss separately. | 01:54:41 | |
| Same will be be true for something for. | 01:54:44 | |
| Board of Supervisors offices and those that work in the board office. | 01:54:50 | |
| OK. Thank you, James, Supervisor Humphrey. | 01:54:55 | |

| Chief Walters with City of Glo. | 01:55:40 | |
| Freeport Mcmoran. | 01:55:43 | |
| My constituent funds for going towards the Law Enforcement Training Academy. I think it's going to be great for the area. I was | 01:55:46 | |
| really surprised that none of the other law enforcement agencies wanted to pitch in, but I think those very much that did. | 01:55:54 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Klein. I don't have anything. I took took two weeks and went to the woods. It was really good. So if we | 01:56:03 | |
| could do that for the rest. | 01:56:07 | |
| The month that even be better but thank you. Well I've been busy but I don't have a litany of things to. | 01:56:12 | |
| Talk about what I would like to do though is say that. Um. | 01:56:19 | |
| One of our former I just received information that one of our former supervisors, Cruz Salas. | 01:56:23 | |
| Passed away December 30. | 01:56:31 | |
| He served on the board from 1993 to 2004. | 01:56:33 | |
| And he passed at age 87. | 01:56:38 | |
| So before we dismiss today and adjourn, I would like for us all to stand and justice have just a moment of meditation. | 01:56:41 | |
| In his. | 01:56:52 | |
| Thank you very much for adjourned. | 01:56:57 | |
| So what are you going to be done? | 01:57:05 | |
