| 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 | |

| Thank you James Supervisor. | 00:13:22 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
