|
|
Testing. Testing.
|
00:00:05
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
gratitude in our hearts to the blessings that Thou bestowed upon us. We're grateful for this New Year that gives us an opportunity
|
00:01:06
|
|
|
to serve thee and strive to obey their will.
|
00:01:13
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
those that are in pain in any way that they might be blessed.
|
00:02:01
|
|
|
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.

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?

|
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.
|

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
|

01:29:20
|
|
|
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.

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.

|
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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
