Hello, good morning. Once again, we have a fairly short agenda, but we do have an executive session after so. 00:01:42
Let's go ahead and get started with Item 2A, which is a public hearing, information, discussion and action to consider a liquor 00:01:52
license application. County number LL-23-19, submitted by Kimberly Stam for an owner transfer of a Series 6 bar license with an 00:02:00
interim permit to operate as the Boondock at the Boondocks at Roosevelt Hwy. 188 and Main in Roosevelt. 00:02:09
And issue a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control whether the license should be granted. 00:02:18
Samantha. 00:02:22
Good morning, Chairman and Board members. As stated, this is a Series 6 for our license application for the Boondocks at Roosevelt 00:02:27
located in Roosevelt. The county does have an internal review process whereby the Treasurer reviews the application and ensures 00:02:32
that the applicant is current on property tax payments. 00:02:37
For all properties owned in Halo County. 00:02:42
The health department and building permitting department both review the application. To date, there have been no issues reported 00:02:44
for the boondocks at Roosevelt. The clerk of the board's office recommends to proceed with the public hearing and I can take any 00:02:48
questions. 00:02:51
Thank you, Samantha. Supervisor Humphrey, any questions or comments I have, I have no questions. This is at the Roosevelt Lake 00:02:56
resort, the one with the duck on behind it and there's new owners. And then this Kimberly Stam, she is leasing it. She's cleaned 00:03:02
it up. She's done a real nice job of cleaning that place up. So I wish her all the luck in the world and going forward with this 00:03:08
'cause it has changed hands. But but anyway, so far she's done a great job and I think it's, I think it's a good thing for that to 00:03:15
keep operating. 00:03:21
Thank you supervisor. 00:03:29
OK, I'm good as well. So I turn it over to the public hearing part. Is there anyone present here in Globe today that wishes to 00:03:31
speak on this item? 00:03:36
No. How about Payson? 00:03:41
OK and. 00:03:45
OK. Then I'll close the public hearing portion and call. 00:03:46
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion for an owner transfer of a Series 6, our license with an intern permit to operate at the boondocks 00:03:52
at Roosevelt. 00:03:57
Hwy. 188 Main Roosevelt and issued a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. The license should 00:04:01
be granted. 00:04:06
I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye aye, motion passes unanimous and we'll move 00:04:12
on now to item 3. 00:04:17
A Information Discussion Action to Approve Intergovernmental Amount Agreement number 10042023 with the Town of Miami to provide 00:04:23
funding for the Copper Mountain Transit System in the amount of $73,000 for the period of July 1st, 2023 through June 30th, 2024. 00:04:30
And we have representatives here from the Transit Authority and we have Meron. Good Morning, Mr. Chair. Good Morning, Supervisor 00:04:38
Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. 00:04:46
This morning I'd like to introduce Alexis Rivera from the Town of Miami. 00:04:53
He's here with staff to go ahead and make their presentation about the Transit Authority. 00:04:57
And with your approval at the end of this item, finance can go ahead and fund the IGA. 00:05:02
Thank you. 00:05:09
Thank you. And Chairman and Board of Supervisors, good morning and thank you for the opportunity. This is the first time for me to 00:05:12
be presenting. 00:05:15
Our transit program my. 00:05:20
In front of you, you have the numbers for fiscal year 20 to 22. 00:05:24
For our service, you're going to see two kind of programs that fix route and the dial right numbers. 00:05:32
We make this breakdown on the passenger service revenue revenue per mileage. 00:05:42
In the vehicle hours that we used during the service from our region. 00:05:48
Globe Miami Tri-City Area. 00:05:56
Fixed. 00:05:59
And I alright, are going to be saying she's going to present a differential of the programs. 00:06:01
That you can understand why you can see a big gap in numbers financially. 00:06:08
Hi, my name is Melinda Paisa. I'm the traffic coordinator. 00:06:17
Good morning, Copper Mount Transit runs. 00:06:21
A curb to curb dialerize service and we operate 2 vans for that service. 00:06:24
One van during the day, so we have two that we can swap between. 00:06:31
And it starts at 6:30 in the morning with 15 minutes. 00:06:35
Appointments throughout the day. 00:06:40
They break for lunch for an hour and then they resume in the afternoon and they end at 3:00. So we. 00:06:42
Calculate the. 00:06:48
Revenue Miles of passengers taking them to and from doctor's appointments. 00:06:49
Shopping. 00:06:54
Visiting family. 00:06:55
You know, it's whatever they. 00:06:57
And it's from point A to point. 00:06:59
Sometimes it's just a one way, sometimes it's a round trip and we also calculate the number of passengers that we do that with the 00:07:02
revenue that we collect. 00:07:07
It's a dollar per zone. There's four zones between Miami and Globe. And so if you're. 00:07:12
Living near in the town of Miami and you want to go to Walmart? That's all one zone. So it's a dollar to get over to Walmart and a 00:07:18
dollar back. 00:07:22
If you want to come all the way out here to the courthouse, it's $3. 00:07:26
If you need to go all the way to Hilo Pueblo from Miami, it'd be $4. 00:07:30
Just to give you an idea of how that works, we operate Monday through Friday in our, as I mentioned, the last appointment for 00:07:34
dollar rights at 3:00. 00:07:38
The. 00:07:44
We do have a monthly path that people can purchase so they can get unlimited rides. It works a lot for the people that might live. 00:07:45
And they travel all through. 00:07:54
You know the Bull, Miami. 00:07:56
Also the bus rout. 00:07:59
It's a fixed route and with dev. 00:08:01
Umm, the fixed route. 00:08:05
34. 00:08:07
Between and we have our buses start at 6:30, so one's going to start over there at Alhambra and make their way back to Miami and 00:08:09
go back and forth all day. And then the other bus starts at Miami Senior Center and goes all the way this way and goes back and 00:08:14
forth throughout the day till 6:00 at night. 00:08:19
We have a deviation because there's certain because we have a fixed route. There's no stops, especially like around the Claypool 00:08:26
area. 00:08:29
So a person can call and ask us, hey, can you pick me up at Kaya Dalaman? As long as we can go in and turn around safely, we'll go 00:08:34
ahead and do that. It's a dollar to do that so we can help people. 00:08:40
They may not be able to walk all the way to the senior. 00:08:46
But we can pick them up and take them on to where they need to go or drop them off. Umm. 00:08:49
The fixed route we. 00:08:55
Calculate the miles that we travel the fuel. Same with all right the revenue that we collected $0.50 for. 00:08:57
Seniors, people, persons with disabilities or students, and that's a dollar one way for the general public. So not bad. It's 00:09:05
pretty reasonable I think. And the deviation, as I mentioned, it's a it's a dollar. 00:09:12
And again, we operate Monday through Friday from 6:30 to 6:00 PM. 00:09:19
Any questions about the route? Oh, well, thanks for the presentation. So yeah, we might have a few questions. So Supervisor 00:09:24
Humphrey? 00:09:28
Yeah, so you have you have you have two buses running during the day doing their regular stops and also dial a ride. 00:09:32
So sometimes you get pretty busy with Dial a Ride and keeping your stops up as well. Yeah, well did that. The van operates with 00:09:41
dialerized by appointment only. So yeah. So that's a separate and it does get really busy a lot of times it can be back-to-back 00:09:48
appointments. Yeah, I would venture, I would imagine. And then last last year when the Globe pool opened, there was quite a 00:09:55
concern over rides from like Miami to the Globe Pool. So Dial a Ride would be able to take care of that rather than a regular 00:10:01
stop. 00:10:08
Or is that something that can be worked out? Maybe down the road? 00:10:15
Well, right now we're in the study to create a Direct Line, a direct service from Miami all the way to Globe. 00:10:20
Not only because the swimming pool, because we have staff, individuals. 00:10:27
Uh, service to their jobs and sometimes going. 00:10:33
From one point, I say. From Miami Bullion. 00:10:36
To any other jurisdiction going in it take more minutes if we create this line this. 00:10:40
Direct service line that's going to help probably individuals from the Tyler County City of clothes that they can use that 00:10:48
reliable service like the. 00:10:52
That's what we try to create in. Furthermore, it says 2022. Our numbers increase about 62%. 00:10:57
On 20/22 the dial ride was 4760. 00:11:05
As today, six months of the service for FY23. 00:11:11
We are already in 2800. We anticipate that we can be in the 8000 on IOI for FY23. 00:11:15
In about 14,000 on the fixed route as today we have 8000. 00:11:22
Are individuals that we surveyed on the fixed route as FY23. 00:11:31
Our numbers back to FY22 on the fixed route was 11,000. 00:11:37
And like I say, we, our service are getting very popular, very it's increasing due to the radio station ads and all the media that 00:11:43
we use like Facebook and our website. 00:11:49
We're promoting very aggressive service because it's very important for the. 00:11:56
Well, Mr. Chair, if I may I I thank you very much because you do a great job and and so a lot of times when you do a great job and 00:12:02
don't tell your story, people don't know. 00:12:07
And so that, you know, that's why I wanted you to come and do the presentation once so the whole board knows what's going on, but 00:12:13
also the people that don't use the transit that understand, you know what a service that you provide for the community. So I, I 00:12:19
thank you very much for your presentation today and all that you do to help the people without a vehicle get from one place to 00:12:25
another. Thank you very much. 00:12:31
Thank you Supervisor James. Did you have something to add? Look poised to do it. 00:12:40
I'm sorry. 00:12:46
Yeah, I just wanted to add that the town of Miami, I've been attending their. 00:12:47
Public transit meetings that they have and with this bezza that. 00:12:53
Getting 1012 people there to these quarterly meetings that discuss transit in the area. I've been able to attend those and. 00:12:58
They are generating a lot of interest, a lot of activity from those quarterly means, so I wanted to commend Town of Miami. 00:13:06
Putting interest in. 00:13:17
The whole program, so thank. 00:13:19
Thank you James Supervisor. 00:13:22
I just want to say thank you for doing this. This, this is a big service and you know it's a it's a service for the dollar a ride 00:13:24
or whatever it is. That's that's good. That helps a lot of people. So really appreciate you guys keeping this up and improving it 00:13:29
as you go along. Thank you. 00:13:34
Again can I'll say thank you as well. So with that I will ask for. 00:13:40
Mr. Chair, I move to approve in the Government agreement number 10042023 for the Town of Miami in the amount of $73,000 as 00:13:47
presented and Mr. Chair, I'll second that OK Motion and a second to approve item 3. 00:13:55
All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. 00:14:03
Thank you. 00:14:11
OK, moving on. 00:14:16
Consent agenda items we have 4A through. 00:14:19
I'll ask if any of the supervisors want to discuss. 00:14:22
One or more of these items separately. Supervisor, hump. 00:14:27
I'm good. 00:14:32
I'm good as well. Thank you as well so. 00:14:34
However, thank you for coming just in case. 00:14:38
With that, I'll call for a motion, Mr. Chair. I'll make the motion to accept. 00:14:42
Consent agenda action items for a through 4:00. 00:14:47
I'll second that. 00:14:52
A motion to approve. And second, all those in favor say aye, aye. 00:14:53
OK. So we're done with that. I love this investment. Thank you. 00:15:00
Call to the public. 00:15:08
Do we have anyone in Payson this morning? 00:15:12
No. 00:15:15
About YouTube. 00:15:16
Anyone here in? 00:15:18
OK, so let's move on to item 6. 00:15:21
Managers, comments, reports and supervisors Mr. Menlo. 00:15:26
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, since we were talking about transit today, I wanted to give an update on the intergovernmental 00:15:32
public transit. 00:15:36
Transportation author. 00:15:40
That is still ongoing. The as you know you as the Board of Supervisors created the IPT. 00:15:44
And that is. 00:15:50
Next step. 00:15:52
Have an intercontinental agreements for all seven of. 00:15:54
Cities and towns and county are all in agreement with an IG. 00:15:58
That's we. 00:16:04
They've been working with a company called AECOM that had got us to this point. 00:16:06
Got a quote from them of what it would take for them to continue to make sure that we continue to get the IGA signed by all 00:16:11
entities. 00:16:15
That quote came back from them at over 100,000. 00:16:20
And I in my mind couldn't justify over $100,000 to get an IGA signed by all the entities. 00:16:24
So in. 00:16:32
Friends with Travis Ashby. 00:16:35
Tag We're kind of having to push this down down the road a little bit. 00:16:40
And working on that. And so as you are now, these grants from the federal government come through a dot. 00:16:46
And they come only every two years. 00:16:54
We were up against a wall of having to have all of these grant applications in the Igas completed and all that here within the 00:16:57
next month or two and it just was not time to do that. 00:17:02
And so Miami of course they have wanted to continue to to do this transportation. 00:17:08
And. 00:17:16
Town of Payson. They were not quite as receptive to it, but and some discussions Town of Payson has agreed to. 00:17:17
Submit the application to a. 00:17:24
To continue transportation transit services in Gila County as they are for the next two years. So in the meantime, we will 00:17:27
continue to work with CAG to get the Igas going, but it gives us a little bit of time and the way it's set up with Town of Miami, 00:17:34
Town of Payson that we can ensure that transit will continue. 00:17:41
As it is for the next two years. 00:17:48
It's not on the agenda, so I don't know if we can if. 00:17:52
Questions. We can't really have a discussion about that, but wanted to give you an update that we are continuing. 00:17:56
Trying to do it a little bit more economically than 100. 00:18:03
20 or $130,000 that we recorded. 00:18:06
Get this done by AECOM. So thank you Mr. 00:18:10
Thank you, Mr. Menlo. 00:18:15
And we we have a meeting on, I think it's Friday in. 00:18:17
To talk with the counterpason on this topic, among others. 00:18:22
And so supervisor. 00:18:27
Yeah, held a Roosevelt meeting on January the 8th. Was on KQSS radio. 00:18:31
At 5:30 on the eighth A. 00:18:38
In our government, an ID, a meeting. 00:18:42
On January the 9th. 00:18:46
Miami Town Hall that the night of the 8th was at the Miami Town Hall. 00:18:49
I was a guest speaker at the Rodeo luncheon on January the 3rd, and tomorrow I'm going to meet with some public at Tunnel Basin. 00:18:55
On planning. 00:19:07
And I'm not sure where that's going to go. I asked no staff to go. I'm just going to get in front of the public and see what's 00:19:10
going on. 00:19:13
And see what I can do to go from there with questions. So that's all I have. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:19:17
Thank you Mr. Chair. So on Tuesday January 9th I had a meeting there in Young with a good handful of people over the short term 00:19:25
rental. 00:19:29
Ordinance and everything that we're proposed, what that's in the process? 00:19:32
Taking Effect got hammered really hard from that meeting and it came to my attention that there's some things in there that I feel 00:19:37
like we need to address, so I'm going to be working on that. 00:19:42
Wednesday, January 10th I participated along with Mr. Chair there that at the Central Arizona Association of Realtors as a 00:19:48
breakfast get together with with a lot of different real estate people that are patient at the casino. 00:19:55
I think that went very well, yeah. I really enjoyed it as a good group, met, met some new people, so it was really good. 00:20:03
Who's going to have an NRCD meeting that got cancelled due to weather tomorrow? 00:20:10
We're headed to the ECO meeting in in Phoenix and then the CSA legislator. 00:20:16
Reception, legislative reception. So I always look forward to that and get to visit with everybody. That's a good deal. 00:20:22
And then on Wednesday, January 24th, we're going to have a workforce meeting in. 00:20:28
A little bit of an update. 00:20:33
The vet center is gathering up a lot more attention. There's there's groups, bigger groups that are looking to. 00:20:35
Come in there and spend some time and that's really good as well. 00:20:45
Also, I don't know, some of you guys might have heard about it, but there was talk going around that the state was going to pull 00:20:50
back that $3,000,000. 00:20:54
On the vet center, but I had a message this morning from Representative Marshall that said no, they're not. It's safe, so I 00:20:59
haven't had a chance to talk to. 00:21:04
To make sure that, but that's the word right now, so I hope he's right. And with that, I think that's it. Thank you. 00:21:10
Yeah, we had a good time at the Realtors meeting. Was good and could be there. 00:21:20
The food. 00:21:26
I went to the opening ceremonies of the legislature. 00:21:30
And that and that was good. That was all good. I didn't agree with some of the things the governor was saying. 00:21:35
Anyway. 00:21:41
That was fun to go do that talk to Todd a little bit and so I'm going to be working with you the. 00:21:44
Meet more people in the legislature to get. 00:21:52
Contacts that way. 00:21:57

And over this last Friday, I was able to meet with a. 00:22:05
Who's a family friend Ed Curry. He's on the He's appointed to the govern. 00:22:10
Water. 00:22:15
Underground water management. 00:22:18
Thing that that she's got going, which is about 29 people. 00:22:21
And so he's a farmer and he. 00:22:26
Near. 00:22:29
And they got a lot of issues in Cochise County, got a lot of issues in that area with people pumping. 00:22:31
They have a lot of agriculture, they have a lot of orchards. 00:22:37
A huge dairy, and the dairy grows all of its own food. 00:22:43
And these circle crops and they've got a lot of them and so. 00:22:46
Anyway, I have some real issues that they're trying to work through. 00:22:51
And the concerns they have are not the same as what he or county has. We don't have those same issue. 00:22:55
And so it was interesting to listen to him as they were trying to figure out ways. 00:23:01
Other people are telling him this is how we need to monitor the usage. 00:23:07
Of the water and there's a lot of arguments on how to do that and the fairness involved in it and so. 00:23:12
They're really. 00:23:21
In that location. So I understand the state of Arizona is one place but every county. 00:23:22
Is a different area with different needs, and we don't. 00:23:28
The legislature, the governor or whatever to impose things that are statewide or? 00:23:32
That are not optional for. 00:23:37
It was interesting to do that. 00:23:40
So that's really all I want to report on right now, so. 00:23:42
I will call for a motion to go adjourn and go into executive session. 00:23:46
Do I need to? 00:23:54
Oh, I'm sorry. Let me read it and then I'll call for the motion. 00:23:56
Item 7. 00:23:59
Information Discussion to vote to go into Executive Session pursuant ARS 38 Dash 431.03. 00:24:00
3 For discussion and consultation for legal advice regarding possible options for the Gila County Board of Supervisors in efforts 00:24:09
to support education in Halo County through the Gila County Provisional Community College District or other educational partners 00:24:15
or pathways that can be considered now. I'll call for Motion. Still Move, Mr. Chair, I'll Second it. OK Motion and a second to 00:24:22
adjourn into Executive Session. All those in favor. 00:24:28
We concluded our executive session will reconvene here in the boardroom. 00:24:47
And there's nothing actionable about what we discussed in. 00:24:52
The executive session so I don't need to call for a motion. 00:24:58
And I got 1116. We're going to adjourn. 00:25:03
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:25:08

Hello, good morning. Once again, we have a fairly short agenda, but we do have an executive session after so. 00:01:42
Let's go ahead and get started with Item 2A, which is a public hearing, information, discussion and action to consider a liquor 00:01:52
license application. County number LL-23-19, submitted by Kimberly Stam for an owner transfer of a Series 6 bar license with an 00:02:00
interim permit to operate as the Boondock at the Boondocks at Roosevelt Hwy. 188 and Main in Roosevelt. 00:02:09
And issue a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control whether the license should be granted. 00:02:18
Samantha. 00:02:22
Good morning, Chairman and Board members. As stated, this is a Series 6 for our license application for the Boondocks at Roosevelt 00:02:27
located in Roosevelt. The county does have an internal review process whereby the Treasurer reviews the application and ensures 00:02:32
that the applicant is current on property tax payments. 00:02:37
For all properties owned in Halo County. 00:02:42
The health department and building permitting department both review the application. To date, there have been no issues reported 00:02:44
for the boondocks at Roosevelt. The clerk of the board's office recommends to proceed with the public hearing and I can take any 00:02:48
questions. 00:02:51
Thank you, Samantha. Supervisor Humphrey, any questions or comments I have, I have no questions. This is at the Roosevelt Lake 00:02:56
resort, the one with the duck on behind it and there's new owners. And then this Kimberly Stam, she is leasing it. She's cleaned 00:03:02
it up. She's done a real nice job of cleaning that place up. So I wish her all the luck in the world and going forward with this 00:03:08
'cause it has changed hands. But but anyway, so far she's done a great job and I think it's, I think it's a good thing for that to 00:03:15
keep operating. 00:03:21
Thank you supervisor. 00:03:29
OK, I'm good as well. So I turn it over to the public hearing part. Is there anyone present here in Globe today that wishes to 00:03:31
speak on this item? 00:03:36
No. How about Payson? 00:03:41
OK and. 00:03:45
OK. Then I'll close the public hearing portion and call. 00:03:46
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion for an owner transfer of a Series 6, our license with an intern permit to operate at the boondocks 00:03:52
at Roosevelt. 00:03:57
Hwy. 188 Main Roosevelt and issued a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control. The license should 00:04:01
be granted. 00:04:06
I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye aye, motion passes unanimous and we'll move 00:04:12
on now to item 3. 00:04:17
A Information Discussion Action to Approve Intergovernmental Amount Agreement number 10042023 with the Town of Miami to provide 00:04:23
funding for the Copper Mountain Transit System in the amount of $73,000 for the period of July 1st, 2023 through June 30th, 2024. 00:04:30
And we have representatives here from the Transit Authority and we have Meron. Good Morning, Mr. Chair. Good Morning, Supervisor 00:04:38
Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. 00:04:46
This morning I'd like to introduce Alexis Rivera from the Town of Miami. 00:04:53
He's here with staff to go ahead and make their presentation about the Transit Authority. 00:04:57
And with your approval at the end of this item, finance can go ahead and fund the IGA. 00:05:02
Thank you. 00:05:09
Thank you. And Chairman and Board of Supervisors, good morning and thank you for the opportunity. This is the first time for me to 00:05:12
be presenting. 00:05:15
Our transit program my. 00:05:20
In front of you, you have the numbers for fiscal year 20 to 22. 00:05:24
For our service, you're going to see two kind of programs that fix route and the dial right numbers. 00:05:32
We make this breakdown on the passenger service revenue revenue per mileage. 00:05:42
In the vehicle hours that we used during the service from our region. 00:05:48
Globe Miami Tri-City Area. 00:05:56
Fixed. 00:05:59
And I alright, are going to be saying she's going to present a differential of the programs. 00:06:01
That you can understand why you can see a big gap in numbers financially. 00:06:08
Hi, my name is Melinda Paisa. I'm the traffic coordinator. 00:06:17
Good morning, Copper Mount Transit runs. 00:06:21
A curb to curb dialerize service and we operate 2 vans for that service. 00:06:24
One van during the day, so we have two that we can swap between. 00:06:31
And it starts at 6:30 in the morning with 15 minutes. 00:06:35
Appointments throughout the day. 00:06:40
They break for lunch for an hour and then they resume in the afternoon and they end at 3:00. So we. 00:06:42
Calculate the. 00:06:48
Revenue Miles of passengers taking them to and from doctor's appointments. 00:06:49
Shopping. 00:06:54
Visiting family. 00:06:55
You know, it's whatever they. 00:06:57
And it's from point A to point. 00:06:59
Sometimes it's just a one way, sometimes it's a round trip and we also calculate the number of passengers that we do that with the 00:07:02
revenue that we collect. 00:07:07
It's a dollar per zone. There's four zones between Miami and Globe. And so if you're. 00:07:12
Living near in the town of Miami and you want to go to Walmart? That's all one zone. So it's a dollar to get over to Walmart and a 00:07:18
dollar back. 00:07:22
If you want to come all the way out here to the courthouse, it's $3. 00:07:26
If you need to go all the way to Hilo Pueblo from Miami, it'd be $4. 00:07:30
Just to give you an idea of how that works, we operate Monday through Friday in our, as I mentioned, the last appointment for 00:07:34
dollar rights at 3:00. 00:07:38
The. 00:07:44
We do have a monthly path that people can purchase so they can get unlimited rides. It works a lot for the people that might live. 00:07:45
And they travel all through. 00:07:54
You know the Bull, Miami. 00:07:56
Also the bus rout. 00:07:59
It's a fixed route and with dev. 00:08:01
Umm, the fixed route. 00:08:05
34. 00:08:07
Between and we have our buses start at 6:30, so one's going to start over there at Alhambra and make their way back to Miami and 00:08:09
go back and forth all day. And then the other bus starts at Miami Senior Center and goes all the way this way and goes back and 00:08:14
forth throughout the day till 6:00 at night. 00:08:19
We have a deviation because there's certain because we have a fixed route. There's no stops, especially like around the Claypool 00:08:26
area. 00:08:29
So a person can call and ask us, hey, can you pick me up at Kaya Dalaman? As long as we can go in and turn around safely, we'll go 00:08:34
ahead and do that. It's a dollar to do that so we can help people. 00:08:40
They may not be able to walk all the way to the senior. 00:08:46
But we can pick them up and take them on to where they need to go or drop them off. Umm. 00:08:49
The fixed route we. 00:08:55
Calculate the miles that we travel the fuel. Same with all right the revenue that we collected $0.50 for. 00:08:57
Seniors, people, persons with disabilities or students, and that's a dollar one way for the general public. So not bad. It's 00:09:05
pretty reasonable I think. And the deviation, as I mentioned, it's a it's a dollar. 00:09:12
And again, we operate Monday through Friday from 6:30 to 6:00 PM. 00:09:19
Any questions about the route? Oh, well, thanks for the presentation. So yeah, we might have a few questions. So Supervisor 00:09:24
Humphrey? 00:09:28
Yeah, so you have you have you have two buses running during the day doing their regular stops and also dial a ride. 00:09:32
So sometimes you get pretty busy with Dial a Ride and keeping your stops up as well. Yeah, well did that. The van operates with 00:09:41
dialerized by appointment only. So yeah. So that's a separate and it does get really busy a lot of times it can be back-to-back 00:09:48
appointments. Yeah, I would venture, I would imagine. And then last last year when the Globe pool opened, there was quite a 00:09:55
concern over rides from like Miami to the Globe Pool. So Dial a Ride would be able to take care of that rather than a regular 00:10:01
stop. 00:10:08
Or is that something that can be worked out? Maybe down the road? 00:10:15
Well, right now we're in the study to create a Direct Line, a direct service from Miami all the way to Globe. 00:10:20
Not only because the swimming pool, because we have staff, individuals. 00:10:27
Uh, service to their jobs and sometimes going. 00:10:33
From one point, I say. From Miami Bullion. 00:10:36
To any other jurisdiction going in it take more minutes if we create this line this. 00:10:40
Direct service line that's going to help probably individuals from the Tyler County City of clothes that they can use that 00:10:48
reliable service like the. 00:10:52
That's what we try to create in. Furthermore, it says 2022. Our numbers increase about 62%. 00:10:57
On 20/22 the dial ride was 4760. 00:11:05
As today, six months of the service for FY23. 00:11:11
We are already in 2800. We anticipate that we can be in the 8000 on IOI for FY23. 00:11:15
In about 14,000 on the fixed route as today we have 8000. 00:11:22
Are individuals that we surveyed on the fixed route as FY23. 00:11:31
Our numbers back to FY22 on the fixed route was 11,000. 00:11:37
And like I say, we, our service are getting very popular, very it's increasing due to the radio station ads and all the media that 00:11:43
we use like Facebook and our website. 00:11:49
We're promoting very aggressive service because it's very important for the. 00:11:56
Well, Mr. Chair, if I may I I thank you very much because you do a great job and and so a lot of times when you do a great job and 00:12:02
don't tell your story, people don't know. 00:12:07
And so that, you know, that's why I wanted you to come and do the presentation once so the whole board knows what's going on, but 00:12:13
also the people that don't use the transit that understand, you know what a service that you provide for the community. So I, I 00:12:19
thank you very much for your presentation today and all that you do to help the people without a vehicle get from one place to 00:12:25
another. Thank you very much. 00:12:31
Thank you Supervisor James. Did you have something to add? Look poised to do it. 00:12:40
I'm sorry. 00:12:46
Yeah, I just wanted to add that the town of Miami, I've been attending their. 00:12:47
Public transit meetings that they have and with this bezza that. 00:12:53
Getting 1012 people there to these quarterly meetings that discuss transit in the area. I've been able to attend those and. 00:12:58
They are generating a lot of interest, a lot of activity from those quarterly means, so I wanted to commend Town of Miami. 00:13:06
Putting interest in. 00:13:17
The whole program, so thank. 00:13:19
Thank you James Supervisor. 00:13:22
I just want to say thank you for doing this. This, this is a big service and you know it's a it's a service for the dollar a ride 00:13:24
or whatever it is. That's that's good. That helps a lot of people. So really appreciate you guys keeping this up and improving it 00:13:29
as you go along. Thank you. 00:13:34
Again can I'll say thank you as well. So with that I will ask for. 00:13:40
Mr. Chair, I move to approve in the Government agreement number 10042023 for the Town of Miami in the amount of $73,000 as 00:13:47
presented and Mr. Chair, I'll second that OK Motion and a second to approve item 3. 00:13:55
All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. 00:14:03
Thank you. 00:14:11
OK, moving on. 00:14:16
Consent agenda items we have 4A through. 00:14:19
I'll ask if any of the supervisors want to discuss. 00:14:22
One or more of these items separately. Supervisor, hump. 00:14:27
I'm good. 00:14:32
I'm good as well. Thank you as well so. 00:14:34
However, thank you for coming just in case. 00:14:38
With that, I'll call for a motion, Mr. Chair. I'll make the motion to accept. 00:14:42
Consent agenda action items for a through 4:00. 00:14:47
I'll second that. 00:14:52
A motion to approve. And second, all those in favor say aye, aye. 00:14:53
OK. So we're done with that. I love this investment. Thank you. 00:15:00
Call to the public. 00:15:08
Do we have anyone in Payson this morning? 00:15:12
No. 00:15:15
About YouTube. 00:15:16
Anyone here in? 00:15:18
OK, so let's move on to item 6. 00:15:21
Managers, comments, reports and supervisors Mr. Menlo. 00:15:26
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, since we were talking about transit today, I wanted to give an update on the intergovernmental 00:15:32
public transit. 00:15:36
Transportation author. 00:15:40
That is still ongoing. The as you know you as the Board of Supervisors created the IPT. 00:15:44
And that is. 00:15:50
Next step. 00:15:52
Have an intercontinental agreements for all seven of. 00:15:54
Cities and towns and county are all in agreement with an IG. 00:15:58
That's we. 00:16:04
They've been working with a company called AECOM that had got us to this point. 00:16:06
Got a quote from them of what it would take for them to continue to make sure that we continue to get the IGA signed by all 00:16:11
entities. 00:16:15
That quote came back from them at over 100,000. 00:16:20
And I in my mind couldn't justify over $100,000 to get an IGA signed by all the entities. 00:16:24
So in. 00:16:32
Friends with Travis Ashby. 00:16:35
Tag We're kind of having to push this down down the road a little bit. 00:16:40
And working on that. And so as you are now, these grants from the federal government come through a dot. 00:16:46
And they come only every two years. 00:16:54
We were up against a wall of having to have all of these grant applications in the Igas completed and all that here within the 00:16:57
next month or two and it just was not time to do that. 00:17:02
And so Miami of course they have wanted to continue to to do this transportation. 00:17:08
And. 00:17:16
Town of Payson. They were not quite as receptive to it, but and some discussions Town of Payson has agreed to. 00:17:17
Submit the application to a. 00:17:24
To continue transportation transit services in Gila County as they are for the next two years. So in the meantime, we will 00:17:27
continue to work with CAG to get the Igas going, but it gives us a little bit of time and the way it's set up with Town of Miami, 00:17:34
Town of Payson that we can ensure that transit will continue. 00:17:41
As it is for the next two years. 00:17:48
It's not on the agenda, so I don't know if we can if. 00:17:52
Questions. We can't really have a discussion about that, but wanted to give you an update that we are continuing. 00:17:56
Trying to do it a little bit more economically than 100. 00:18:03
20 or $130,000 that we recorded. 00:18:06
Get this done by AECOM. So thank you Mr. 00:18:10
Thank you, Mr. Menlo. 00:18:15
And we we have a meeting on, I think it's Friday in. 00:18:17
To talk with the counterpason on this topic, among others. 00:18:22
And so supervisor. 00:18:27
Yeah, held a Roosevelt meeting on January the 8th. Was on KQSS radio. 00:18:31
At 5:30 on the eighth A. 00:18:38
In our government, an ID, a meeting. 00:18:42
On January the 9th. 00:18:46
Miami Town Hall that the night of the 8th was at the Miami Town Hall. 00:18:49
I was a guest speaker at the Rodeo luncheon on January the 3rd, and tomorrow I'm going to meet with some public at Tunnel Basin. 00:18:55
On planning. 00:19:07
And I'm not sure where that's going to go. I asked no staff to go. I'm just going to get in front of the public and see what's 00:19:10
going on. 00:19:13
And see what I can do to go from there with questions. So that's all I have. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:19:17
Thank you Mr. Chair. So on Tuesday January 9th I had a meeting there in Young with a good handful of people over the short term 00:19:25
rental. 00:19:29
Ordinance and everything that we're proposed, what that's in the process? 00:19:32
Taking Effect got hammered really hard from that meeting and it came to my attention that there's some things in there that I feel 00:19:37
like we need to address, so I'm going to be working on that. 00:19:42
Wednesday, January 10th I participated along with Mr. Chair there that at the Central Arizona Association of Realtors as a 00:19:48
breakfast get together with with a lot of different real estate people that are patient at the casino. 00:19:55
I think that went very well, yeah. I really enjoyed it as a good group, met, met some new people, so it was really good. 00:20:03
Who's going to have an NRCD meeting that got cancelled due to weather tomorrow? 00:20:10
We're headed to the ECO meeting in in Phoenix and then the CSA legislator. 00:20:16
Reception, legislative reception. So I always look forward to that and get to visit with everybody. That's a good deal. 00:20:22
And then on Wednesday, January 24th, we're going to have a workforce meeting in. 00:20:28
A little bit of an update. 00:20:33
The vet center is gathering up a lot more attention. There's there's groups, bigger groups that are looking to. 00:20:35
Come in there and spend some time and that's really good as well. 00:20:45
Also, I don't know, some of you guys might have heard about it, but there was talk going around that the state was going to pull 00:20:50
back that $3,000,000. 00:20:54
On the vet center, but I had a message this morning from Representative Marshall that said no, they're not. It's safe, so I 00:20:59
haven't had a chance to talk to. 00:21:04
To make sure that, but that's the word right now, so I hope he's right. And with that, I think that's it. Thank you. 00:21:10
Yeah, we had a good time at the Realtors meeting. Was good and could be there. 00:21:20
The food. 00:21:26
I went to the opening ceremonies of the legislature. 00:21:30
And that and that was good. That was all good. I didn't agree with some of the things the governor was saying. 00:21:35
Anyway. 00:21:41
That was fun to go do that talk to Todd a little bit and so I'm going to be working with you the. 00:21:44
Meet more people in the legislature to get. 00:21:52
Contacts that way. 00:21:57
Was on camel G yesterday, also Karim yesterday and. 00:21:59
And over this last Friday, I was able to meet with a. 00:22:05
Who's a family friend Ed Curry. He's on the He's appointed to the govern. 00:22:10
Water. 00:22:15

And so he's a farmer and he. 00:22:26
Near. 00:22:29
And they got a lot of issues in Cochise County, got a lot of issues in that area with people pumping. 00:22:31
They have a lot of agriculture, they have a lot of orchards. 00:22:37
A huge dairy, and the dairy grows all of its own food. 00:22:43
And these circle crops and they've got a lot of them and so. 00:22:46
Anyway, I have some real issues that they're trying to work through. 00:22:51
And the concerns they have are not the same as what he or county has. We don't have those same issue. 00:22:55
And so it was interesting to listen to him as they were trying to figure out ways. 00:23:01
Other people are telling him this is how we need to monitor the usage. 00:23:07
Of the water and there's a lot of arguments on how to do that and the fairness involved in it and so. 00:23:12
They're really. 00:23:21
In that location. So I understand the state of Arizona is one place but every county. 00:23:22
Is a different area with different needs, and we don't. 00:23:28
The legislature, the governor or whatever to impose things that are statewide or? 00:23:32
That are not optional for. 00:23:37
It was interesting to do that. 00:23:40
So that's really all I want to report on right now, so. 00:23:42
I will call for a motion to go adjourn and go into executive session. 00:23:46
Do I need to? 00:23:54
Oh, I'm sorry. Let me read it and then I'll call for the motion. 00:23:56
