It is Tuesday, February 6th at 10:00 AM. 00:00:15
In the year 2024, if you've been traveling through. 00:00:21
And I'd like to ask James if he would lead us in the pledge. If you don't stand, please. 00:00:26
United States of America. 00:00:34
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:39
And Nick Montague. 00:00:48
For our prayer. 00:00:50
Dear Heavenly Father, we are thankful for this day and we are thankful for the Board of Supervisors that they are able to meet and 00:00:56
hear information and to help decide what is best for the county. And please give them my spirit. 00:01:01
Inspire them that they will know what is best to do for us, and we say these things in the name. Jesus Christ, damn it. 00:01:07
Thank you. 00:01:13
OK. We have a bit of a schedule today, so we'll get started right away. We have a couple presentations. 00:01:20
Item 2A is a presentation of Gila County General Fund financial data as it compares to the fiscal year 2024 Gila County budget and 00:01:27
the fiscal years 23/22/21 and 20 year to date performance. 00:01:34
And is mar. 00:01:41
That's an entrance. 00:01:49
Very nice. 00:01:53
Sorry. 00:01:55
No, don't be sorry that. 00:01:57
We should, we should make that a standard deal that was better than my last one, where I jumped up too early, right? 00:01:59
OK. We look forward to your presentation. 00:02:06
Good morning, Mr. Chair, Supervisor, Klein, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:02:09
We just have our update through the end of December for you today. 00:02:13
As standard with this chart, the blue line on the left shows 100% of the budget. 00:02:18
And then the green line. 00:02:26
That which is the third one in. 00:02:28
Shows where we should be at six months, which is 50%. 00:02:31
And then your red line shows where you are for 2024. 00:02:35
The other lines show where you were in 20/21/22 and 23. 00:02:39
As you can see. 00:02:46
We are. 00:02:49
47% year to date expenses for salaries and ER. 00:02:51
30% for operating expenses. 00:02:56
And when we add in encumbrances. 00:02:59
It's not the reason. ERE is an operating expenses. We are at 48.7% of the budget year to date compared to a 50% target. 00:03:01
Revenue is at 46. 00:03:10
And is 2 1/2 million more than the same time last year? 00:03:14
If we hadn't gotten. 00:03:19
Grant from the state Department of Veterans Services Year to date, revenues would be about 500,000 less than they were a year ago, 00:03:22
and that's just due to the timing of the state shared sales tax. 00:03:27
And the annual York circuit breaker funding, which we have not received yet, but in the past two years we've received in November. 00:03:34
Any questions? Thank you. Marin Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions. Thank you. 00:03:42
Thank you. Supervisor. Client. I'm good too, man. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I'm fine. Thank you for your presentation. We'll be 00:03:48

But First off, what we're going to recogn? 00:04:36
Is Nicole Archibald her Spotlight nomination? 00:04:40
The recent accomplishment that Marisa's death spotlight is the partnership Nikki arranged with Borderlands. 00:04:44
Produce Rescue in Mogalis based organization that works closely with the. 00:04:50
Fresh produce track trucking industry to divert surplus veggies, fruits and produce from landfills, preventing food waste and 00:04:55
distributing. 00:04:59
Healthy, fresh food to communities around Arizona. Nikki read about Borderlands Produce Rescue made contact and arrange for a 00:05:03
truckload of healthy veggies, fruits and produce delivery to Globe on November 15th. 00:05:09
Once the deal was segmented, Nikki also coordinated a social media campaign, announcing this first truckload and corralling 00:05:15
pre-order sign ups. Then, a few days, Facebook posts were shared more than 100 times. 00:05:21
And generated dozens of comments and likes, which amplified the reach of the campaign recruiting signups. 00:05:27
So Nikki is employed with Health Community Services, and she's been employed with the county almost 6 1/2 years. And sneaky, I 00:05:34
don't know if you want to come up. 00:05:38
If you'd like to say anything. 00:05:47
Thank you. It's a really fun program. So thank you, thank you. 00:05:51
Next we have Thor Nutson, His nomination red. 00:06:00
We want to thank Sergeant Medicine for rescuing us at the end of the Lake Pass schoolhouse landing and pulling us in our boat back 00:06:04
to Indian Point. 00:06:07
Seeing those blue lights, what Where our saving grace, Sergeant Nutson, went above and beyond what we ever expected, making sure 00:06:12
that our boat and ourselves were safe the entire time. 00:06:16
When we finally got back to Indian Point about 3 hours later, he made sure that we were off the boat and safe Before he left he 00:06:21
also. 00:06:24
He was told initially that my phone pinged off a tower when I had calls 911, but he had called dispatch and found that I had said 00:06:28
we had passed the schoolhouse landing. So he searched for us there and found us. 00:06:33
We were so thankful that he went above and beyond. Thank you so much, Sergeant Knudsen. We appreciate you so very much. 00:06:39
This was an e-mail from a member of the public affairs Thor has been with the Sheriff's Office. 00:06:46

Next, we have a group nomination. 00:07:19
For our Public Works staff, Laurie, Wendy, Randy and Daniel. 00:07:22
Their Spotlight nomination. I want to take a moment and rightfully to recognize these four employees for their Teamwork, customer 00:07:27
service, Initiative, and integrity. 00:07:31
Upon driving out to the Buckhead Buckhead Mesa landfill in a drizzly, wet, cold day right before Christmas, it was observed that 00:07:36
this team was working together and even working outside. 00:07:41
When I approached the landfill, not only were these team members working out in the cold, but I was also greeted in a friendly and 00:07:46
welcoming way. 00:07:50
This team could have decided that since no one was coming to the landfill and since it was too cold to be outside. 00:07:54
You could just stay in the office until they had to do something, but they did not. 00:08:00
This team exemplifies the type of quality employees we should all strive to be, and I'm proud to call them teammates and Gila 00:08:04
County employees. 00:08:07
And this was recognized by Supervisor Christensen. 00:08:11
So first up we have Lori, who has been employed with the county five months and Laurie down in. 00:08:15
David from that. 00:08:22
And Lori, I don't know if you want to say anything. 00:08:25
I don't know what to say. I say thank you very much. I enjoy working at the landfill and we do work hard. 00:08:30
Thank you. Thank you. 00:08:40
Thank you, Laurie. Yeah, thank you. 00:08:43

It's really hard to hear you guys. 00:09:43
Would you like to say anything? 00:09:47
Oh, sure. 00:09:49
Yeah, So far it's been a pleasure working out there. We have a really good team. 00:09:52

Thank you, Erica. 00:10:34
Thank you. Have a good day. 00:10:36
OK, so let's go to item 3, which is our public hearing, Section 3. 00:10:40
Information Discussion Action to Adopt Ordinance #2024-01, which authorizes an amendment to the Gila County Zoning Map for 00:10:44
unincorporated areas of Gila County. 00:10:50
Arizona by changing the zoning for assessors Parcel #205-03-0108 described as Parcel 1. 00:10:56
A record of survey number 5730 Globe, AZ to Industrial. 00:11:07
M3 District Rand. 00:11:14
Morning Chairman, Supervisors. So this is the. 00:11:17
That Tri. 00:11:21
Sanitation is wanting to put their. 00:11:23
This is off the 188. 00:11:28
They're seeking to change it from the TRD to T to the M3, which would allow for that use. 00:11:31
Currently around that parcel there is some C3, some other. 00:11:39
D2 T's an R1. 00:11:45
M3C3 and another TR. So it just depends on which way to go. 00:11:48
All the notifications were sent out as the fire through zoning. 00:11:54
And we have received no comments back for or against. 00:11:59
Legal ads were sent out on 116 or 24. 00:12:05
And 117 of 20. 00:12:09
And umm. 00:12:12
Staff recommends approval for this. 00:12:15
I know you guys have heard a lot about Tri-City. I know there's a couple representatives here that want to talk, so I'll open that 00:12:17
up for them. 00:12:21
OK. Thank. 00:12:26
So who do we have from Tri-City? 00:12:28
Good morning, supervisors. My name is Mike Krebs. I'm the engineer for Tri-City. 00:12:37
Also, Robert Jacques, who's a President of the Board, is here with us today also. 00:12:42
We appreciate this opportunity and. 00:12:49
We're getting through the project and it seems like it's one step at a time, but. 00:12:54
We're making progress, so hope you could go to the next slide. OK, so. 00:12:59
What I wanted to do here was just kind of give you a little quick overview of how we got to this site and then. 00:13:05
Also we. 00:13:13
A video of kind of a fly over that we put together might help. 00:13:15
See what it would look like when we get get the package. 00:13:20
So and we had a site in 2018 when we submitted the preliminary engineering report to US. 00:13:25
And that was in 2018 and 2019. 00:13:33
BHP came to us and said that tailings dam, we need to do a bunch of work on it, so you can't have that site because we were just 00:13:38
at the top. 00:13:43
Pretty close to the toe of that. 00:13:47
That set us to search for another site. We looked at a number of different ones, and and. 00:13:50
Really kind of at the last moment this site became available and it's a little hard to see on the drawings, but it's at the very 00:13:57
North End. 00:14:01
You can see it may be better on this one, the Green square. 00:14:05
Up at the top with the blue above the district. 00:14:09
And it'll be brought into the district, brought into the DM. 00:14:12
And. 00:14:17
It'll it'll make phase three a little bit easier with costs and things like that because of. 00:14:19
Because of the location. 00:14:24
So thanks. 00:14:26
So here's a little better view of the site. It is ordered. It's in that big curve. 00:14:29
As you as you go and you Bixby, Rd. is on the right and then you cross the tracks and so it's ordered on the east by State Route 00:14:35
188. 00:14:40
And on the West by the railroad, Arizona. 00:14:46
And then the Cattlemen's association is just on the West side of that, which is an M3. 00:14:51
Site. And so the sites 8 acres. 00:14:57
It's a portion of, it's outside of the floodplain and we actually just recently we've been working with your staff to get the. 00:15:04
Use permits, floodplain use permit, and we received that just last week. 00:15:14
So, you know, let's go and then that's going in the right direction. 00:15:18
And so then we're just trying to get the the county zoning. 00:15:22
Two and M3 that will match what the Cattlemen's Association is. 00:15:28
And then? And then what's? The other nice thing about it is it's good access. It's all downhill from the project. 00:15:33
And there's power, communications and. 00:15:41
Pretty much. 00:15:44
So, and I don't know if there's any questions as I'm going through this. 00:15:46
Please. 00:15:51
Let's let's talk. 00:15:53
If not, I'll I think the next is. 00:15:55
Video if you could start. 00:15:58
OK. So it's as if you're on 188 traveling N is the way that it's set up? 00:16:07
What you see on the left there, What the tanks could represent? 00:16:14
And and I, you know, I think there's a lot more vegetation in there than what we're showing. 00:16:18
We just kind of restricted with that because it makes the file sass so big. 00:16:24
But again, you're traveling on 188 heading north towards the railroad Bixby Rd. 00:16:29
Wheat fields. 00:16:36
So I think it pretty much speaks for itself. 00:16:40
See the? 00:16:45
And I actually believe that they'll end up being a little bit lower than what we're showing on the on the site there. And there's 00:16:50
a big Ridge right there on the edge. 00:16:54
Of the north part of the parcel. 00:16:58
That's just to give you an idea of, you know, what it could look like as as you're driving along. 00:17:04
188. 00:17:10
That's pretty much all I have for our presentation. 00:17:12
I don't know if there's open to questions or anything. 00:17:16
Thank you, Mr. Craig Cribs. 00:17:19
Supervisor Humphrey I have no questions. I've kind of been following this for the seven years that I've been a supervisor. 00:17:21
And and I think it's a great thing that they now have this. 00:17:28
So that they can finish their engineering and and perhaps get started on phase one. 00:17:35
To help us with infrastructure between Globe and Miami as well as helping protect our water tables and things of that nature. So I 00:17:42
I'm, I'm very happy to see. 00:17:48
It getting done and. 00:17:55
State obtaining proper. 00:17:59
And so that's all I have. 00:18:02
OK. Thank you, supervisor. 00:18:06
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I really don't have any questions. I think it's it's a good, good site you know and like you said it's 00:18:08
downhill from everywhere so so that's going to help you. 00:18:13
Good luck. Absolutely, absolutely. Thank you. I have no question. So at this time open it up. 00:18:18
To the public. Is that the appropriate time, Randy? Did you have more to present? 00:18:25
OK. All right. I'll open it up to the public. Is there anyone here in Globe that wishes to speak to this item? 00:18:30
I see no one. And how about Payson? 00:18:37
OK. And YouTube, nobody's on there. OK. All right. So I'll close the public hearing portion. 00:18:41
And we'll entertain a motion. 00:18:51
Mr. Chair, I happen to move to adopt Ordinance #2024-01, and I'll second that motion and a second approve all those in favor. Say 00:18:53
aye, aye, aye. 00:18:59
Unanimous. Thank you, Randy. And we'll go to Item 3, Information Discussion action to adopt Ordinance #2024-02, which authorizes 00:19:05
an amendment. 00:19:11
After the Gila County zoning map for unincorporated areas. 00:19:17
By changing the zoning. 00:19:22
I just wanted to say thank you to to yourselves and to the county. There's your staff and everyone. 00:19:26
Has been. 00:19:31
Helping us get through this project. 00:19:33
It's not possible without your all support and. 00:19:36
And it's the old adage that takes a village. So thank you. I appreciate that those comments and I and I would concur that we have 00:19:40
a great staff and and it's really helpful to hear that you have that same impression. 00:19:47
So thank you and good luck. 00:19:54
OK, I'll start with 3B again. We're going to be talking about information, discussion and action to adopt an ordinance #2024-02, 00:19:56
which authorizes an amendment to the Hill County zoning map for unincorporated areas in Heel County, Arizona by changing the 00:20:03
zoning of assessors parcel #301-69 Dash. 00:20:10
193 be located at 4421 N Highway 87. That's in Pine, AZ, the residential one district density 35-R1-D35. 00:20:18
OK, Randy, so we're basically talking that whole upper left triangle. 00:20:31
Currently. 00:20:39
The owner, David Lofano, owns all of that. 00:20:42
And if you'll notice, currently the far left corner is the R1D35, the rest is C2. 00:20:46
Basically, he's so it's already dual. 00:20:55
Basically, he's lessening the C2 use and opening up the R1 use. He wants to build this house on this property. 00:20:59
He's been using this property for bow tie roofing. 00:21:07
In his words, he's slowing down and and doing less work so he doesn't need the room. 00:21:13
The roofing company as much that he really likes the parcel and he wants to. 00:21:21
Build this dream home. On this he will have a from the upper right hand corner. He'll have a driveway easement. 00:21:26
Going. 00:21:35
But the red area he's opening, he's wanting to make that all R1D35 area and just have the C2 on the right hand side. 00:21:36
Around him currently is national fore. 00:21:48
And there's are there areas that are R1D35? There's one area to the east, it's R1L. 00:21:53
10 And then to the West is R1D35. 00:22:02
He's been through the process. 00:22:07
We've notified all. 00:22:09
Citizens in the area, there was no comments for or against this project. 00:22:12
The board met and gave unanimous approval for. 00:22:19
The ads went out on January 16th and 17th. 00:22:25
Respectively, between the patient Roundup and the Silver. 00:22:30
And I believe Mr. Lofano might be in Pine. 00:22:34
Is Mr. Lofano. 00:22:41
Wanting. 00:22:44
I think. 00:22:48
Consideration on this? 00:22:50
And Randy's been very helpful and he's been helpful and. 00:22:52
Just appreciate your consideration on this. 00:22:58
OK. Thank you. Supervisor Humphrey, any questions? I have no question. Supervisor Klein. OK, I'll open it up to the public. 00:23:01
Is A1 here in Globe? Wish to speak to this item? 00:23:11

That wishes to speak to this. No. OK and Cassandra OK. I'll close the public hearing and call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make 00:23:18
the motion to adopt ordinance #2024-O2. 00:23:24
I'll second that motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye. 00:23:31

All right. Item 3C, we have information, discussion, action to adopt resolution #24-02-01 to name S Hounds Trail and South Eddy 00:23:42

I have no questions and supervisor, I'm good as well. Thank you. 00:24:24
So at this time I'll open up for public. 00:24:28
Anyone in global we should speak to? 00:24:31
I see no one. How about Payson? Anyone wish to speak to this item? 00:24:35

OK. Moving right along, then we'll go to item 4. 00:24:58
Information, Discussion, Action to approve the distribution of Secure Rural Schools and Communities Funds Forced Fees of Gila 00:25:03

OK, we have a motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, aye, aye, aye. 00:26:57
Thank you back, Mr. Chair. One point making this is I just realized this too, and a lot of people may not realize. 00:27:02
The Gila County Education Service Agency, is your adult program, correct? Yes. The adult program is in the Yuba County Education 00:27:10
Service Agency and that provides adult education to all of Hila County. Good. Thank you for saying that because I know there's 00:27:17
people that don't understand that and don't understand that this money does go to help fund that as well. So. 00:27:23
Very underfunded program in general. Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Thank you. Thank you, Nick. 00:27:30
Our next item 4B Mayor and I understand we're going to be tabling this item. 00:27:37
And I will call for a motion to do just that. 00:27:41
Mr. Chair, I move to. 00:27:44
The item. 00:27:48
4B And I'll second that. Hey, all those in favor of tabling item 4B, say aye, aye. 00:27:51
Moving on to Item 4C, information discussion action to appoint Mickey Nye and Marvin Moe to the Board of Directors of the 00:27:58
Industrial Development Authority of the County of El. 00:28:04
Arizona for the term of office that expires on December 31st, 2024 and we have both Tim and Woody. 00:28:10
Sponsoring. 00:28:17
Yes, Mr. Chair, I had. 00:28:21
An individual on the industrial development. 00:28:23
Wish to to step. 00:28:28
And and so I have reached out and asked Nikki Nai to fill that position as to which making I said he would. 00:28:30
And so I look forward having him on the Industrial Development Authority. 00:28:39
As we pursued to move forward with the new ID. 00:28:44
Thank you and supervisor. 00:28:50
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Marvin Mull is the Director of the Public Works Transportation on San Carlos. 00:28:52
Super smart guy and I really appreciate the fact he's willing to do this. 00:28:58
And so I too had that opportunity to put him on that board. And he'll be, he'll be a good, good person there. 00:29:03
Great. And I and I, I don't know the two people, but I really appreciate everyone that's a member of the public that volunteers 00:29:10
for these kind of things. It's very necessary to have people that are smart and capable. 00:29:17
Helping us with the some of the boards and the things that we do. So with that I will call for a motion. 00:29:24
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to appoint Mickey, Nye and Marvin mold to the Board of Directors of the Industrial Development 00:29:30
Authority of County of Inlet, Arizona. 00:29:35

OK, motion passes, so for D. 00:29:49
Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment #10 to an intergovernmental agreement. It is contract #DI20-0022 SIX Three 00:29:54
between the Arizona Department of Economic Security and Gila County Community Services Department to add the itemized service 00:30:02
budget in the amount of $463,780.93 for a period. 00:30:10
Of July 1st, 2023 through June 30, 2024, of which the funds will be used as rent and utility assistance and we have Joshua. 00:30:19
Back Chairman Christensen members aboard. So this funding is primarily it's kind of split with our Temporary Assistance for Needy 00:30:30
Families money. It pays for our person in the North and in the South and facing the globe that administer these programs and 00:30:37
administers the funds for the housing assistance based on meeting income qualifications. 00:30:44
We do have numerous vendors that help us out with some of these programs. 00:30:52
Fair If Supervisor Humphrey would like to get into those today, we can get them this item further item if you want to know the 00:30:57
list I did compared with everything we would need for those items, or if you would like to, we can present that in a work session. 00:31:03
And discuss them there. But as far as this item, pretty straightforward. Like I said, it's two people, their salaries and directs 00:31:10
phones. 00:31:13
Office space North and South and then the ability to provide these programs for. 00:31:17
Thank you Joshua supervisor. Hopefully, hopefully. 00:31:22
Yeah. Maybe a work session at some point would be would be a great thing. We have a long agenda today and so it's a great program. 00:31:25
I'd just like to understand. 00:31:30
And so I other than that, I have no question. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you, Josh and I'm good as well. I'll 00:31:35
call for a motion as chair. I move to approve Amendment #10 to the Arizona Department of Economic Security. 00:31:42
Intergovernmental agreement contract number B. 00:31:49
I 200022. 00:31:53
63 as presented. 00:31:56
And I'll second that Mr. Chair second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye. 00:32:00
Thank you, Joshua. Item 4 E information discussion action to approve the submission of a site investment project application to 00:32:06
Freeport Mcmoran in the amount of $9500 for the period of March 1st, 2024 to March 1st, 2025 to provide additional oral healthcare 00:32:14
to underserved Gila County elementary students. 00:32:22
I'm sure you have. 00:32:30
Well, I brought Trish up here, OK? She is our wonderful skill from the Sheriff's Department. 00:32:32
So we've come up with this oil health program. It's working wonderfully, but most of the money that we get from the Arizona 00:33:10
Department Health Services pays for one person. And we've done a great job of getting into the schools. Last year, if you 00:33:14
remember, we had a Delta dental contract and one of the great things about getting that extra money was it allows Trish when she 00:33:19
goes into the schools. 00:33:24
To actually assist, students aren't just in that small category of what there's an apartment. Health Services, which is usually 00:33:29
access, allows us to work with. 00:33:33
Now that Delta Dental contract has gone away, so we're kind of swimming to try to find other small funding sources. 00:33:38
So that the good thing is, is we already have the, you know, the foundation and everything in place and we're already going to the 00:33:44
school. So it's not a lot of money that we need, but we're trying to reach out to a bunch of different in any institutions we can 00:33:49
to find extra money. Because when we're in a school, you know, it's a shame to turn away those children that need help as well 00:33:54
that aren't accessed but maybe don't necessarily have insurance or something. 00:33:59
I don't know if Trish wants to spend on any of that, but that's kind of where we're at. So you might see this application a few 00:34:05
more because we're trying to do our best to fill those gaps to make sure that she can get to his many students as she can. 00:34:10
Good morning. Yes, this would enable us to provide services for the children who do not qualify under our Cavity Free Arizona. 00:34:18
They actually only provide services for kindergarten, 2nd grade and 6th grade. 00:34:27
They go by kind of the standards of when permanent teeth erupt the molars. 00:34:32
But kids are so different. We've seen children in kindergarten who need sea Lance. We've seen first graders. 00:34:38
We see some children who do not you rub their teeth until 3rd or 4th grade, so that is where this program comes in. It has been 00:34:44
extremely successful and helpful. 00:34:50
Mainly being that we only have one access provider and all of Gila County. 00:34:56
And it is in northern Gila County and they do not accept all the plans. So going into the schools, a lot of these children that we 00:35:01
have seen have never been to a dentist. 00:35:05
And we've placed a lot of. 00:35:11
Fluoride varnish screenings. We do screening, so if we see an emergency we're able to. 00:35:14
Refer their parents to a dentist. So it's just been a great program all around and we hope to grow it. 00:35:20
Thank you. Thank you, Chris. 00:35:27
Supervisor Hope. 00:35:30
You know, thank you for all you do because it's a great program and anything we can do to help. 00:35:32
Help. 00:35:37
Have a better start. I think it's a great thing so. 00:35:38
Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So gosh, and Fish is. 00:35:42
With $9500 like. 00:35:49
How many kids is that going to help you cover? 00:35:51
We are planning on 750 children. 00:35:54
It's not always sealant, which obviously takes more time and money, but a screening fluoride varnish? 00:35:59
We have been. 00:36:07
Pretty much every school in Gila County with the exception of Pine. 00:36:09
And continually. 00:36:13
Growing the program. 00:36:17
Since I first started, we hired a dental program specialist. 00:36:19
Who has? She's just creative and passionate. 00:36:23
And she is to Scrum the program that's about. 00:36:28
So with this additional 9500, do you anticipate having to turn anybody back? 00:36:31
Good. Not for this year, but we do continue to search for funding for. 00:36:38
Next year. 00:36:43
Well, I'm sure whatever we can do to help with that, we will. So thank you for what you've done. 00:36:45
It wants to be like you're getting a lot of bang for the buck. 00:36:52
700 students for 9005. 00:36:56
That's great. So I have no questions. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:37:00
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the submission of a site investment project application to Freeport, Mac Brand has 00:37:05
prevented. 00:37:09
I'll second that have a motion to approve all those in favor. Say aye, aye. 00:37:13
Thank you. And we have another. 00:37:19
Joshua. 00:37:23
My show today, so let me read it first, OK? 00:37:25
Four or F Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment #2. 00:37:29
Tune into Governmental Agreement Contract Center 060267 with the Arizona Department of Health Services extends the contract of 00:37:35
June 3025 and provides additional Bridge Access Program funding not to exceed 199,342 dollars. 00:37:45
To be used until December 30. 00:37:55
24 for the continuing provision of COVID-19 vaccination services to uninsured adults. 00:37:58
So this item is we're still extending further on the covic expanded lab capacity grants that we had way back at the beginning in 00:38:08
2020 for COVAD. What this is for is they're extending the amount of money to try to help us with nursing and immunization 00:38:14
coordinators. 00:38:19
I believe we're paying for a nurse and two parts of two immunization coordinators out of it. So and it's honestly it protects our 00:38:55
general fund. We've really been able to do almost all of our COVAD still to this point with general with grants that we've 00:38:59
received so. 00:39:04
Hasn't been with the county cost because we keep in able to use these programs to work with the population. 00:39:09
Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no question. Supervisor. 00:39:15
Josh is this about the end of the Covic? 00:39:22
So it could go on for a while. Yes. OK. Thank you, Josh. 00:39:58
Yeah. Thank you, Josh, for what you do. So with that, I will call for a motion, Mr. I move to approve Amendment #2 to the Arizona 00:40:01
Department of Health Services Intergovernmental Agreement contract number Ctr. 060267, as presented. 00:40:09
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. Yeah. Motion in a second to approve item 4F. All those in favor say aye, aye, Aye. 00:40:17
Nikki Joshua got another one here for G Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment #1 to the independent contractor 00:40:24
agreement number 07012023 Dash 24, between the Arizona Community Action Association doing business as the wildfire in Eva County 00:40:31
Public Health and Community Services Department, whereby wildfire. 00:40:39
Administer an additional $80,000 of funding for a total contract amount of $205,800, which will be used to provide weatherization 00:40:47
services, utility repair and replacement utility deposits, bill assistance, and to eligible citizens residing in Heeler County for 00:40:55
the period of July 123 through June 3024. 00:41:04
So this funding is extra kind of like the last with COVID funding, there's extra funding. We look at mid year, how the, how the 00:41:14
spinning is going into state and these pots of money, the counties that are more efficient would be able to utilize their money 00:41:19
and get it out. 00:41:23
Usually have an opportunity to at the midpoint when they look at the budgets for all the counties to reapply for money. So there's 00:41:28
an extra $80,000 in. 00:41:32
This lace rip and in this puzzle, I've always done a really good job of getting these weatherization contracts out. We have quite 00:41:36
a few contractors on the books and they're pretty efficient in using it. So typically here you'll see somewhere midway through the 00:41:42
year we always take that opportunity to ask for more money and typically are able to receive it. So this $80,000 is primarily all 00:41:48
for those weatherization projects often times. 00:41:53
New appliances, energy efficient appliances, these usually the big picture like AC units and stuff like that. It's more of those 00:42:00
little smaller projects. 00:42:04
Thank you. Gosh, we're supervisor. 00:42:09
Looking forward to that work session. Other than that, no other questions. Thank you. 00:42:12
Super Dec. 00:42:18
I'm glad you guys are reaching out to get this extra money. 00:42:20
Rush, 'cause it you know, we don't. We don't cover all the people that need help as it is so, so this is really so. Thanks. 00:42:24
Yes, thanks. And you said Kaylee was part of thank her also. With that I will entertain. 00:42:33
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Amendment #1 to the independent contractor agreement contract number. 00:42:41
070120 two 3-24 with Arizona Community Action Association. 00:42:47
DBA welfare. 00:42:54
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, motion. And a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye, Aye. 00:42:57
One more. 00:43:03
Item 4H Information Discussion Action to Approve Amendment #2. 00:43:07
A funding agreement #123 with Arizona Department of Housing to extend the agreement for one year to December 1st, 24 for Gila 00:43:11
House Incorporated transition shelter facility acquisition. 00:43:18
So this funding was originally, remember, for a house on Maple Street and they were working with the. 00:43:27
I can't remember the property of someone help me remember, I'm just taking it with resources. But we are doing the wiping of the 00:43:34
property, the budget motel, and we change that. That's right, right? 00:43:39
This is the Maple property. This was a 2 unit housing on Maple Street. 00:43:48
Had purchased it for temporary housing. 00:43:54
And. 00:43:57
There were some issues with the contracts and things, so just asking for an extension of that contract. 00:43:59
So we have about an extra 200 and a little over 230 + 1000. 00:44:05
He the house could purchase another transitional. 00:44:10
One of the things we're working on is they have to be able to show five years. 00:44:13
Of ability to do this on their own once with the county funding, unless this funding is no longer there, that they can continue to 00:44:17
operate these transitional houses. 00:44:21
That's really been my goal since I've come on is the grants are kind of something that I'm more attuned to. And I've been working 00:44:56
with their board and with their their present and stuff to kind of say here's the kind of things you need to do, here's you know 00:45:01
where you need to go so that we can get this, so that we can focus another property. So they have an extra year now to work on 00:45:06
that and I think hope this will be the last time we have to extend it. 00:45:10
OK, great. Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I think it's a great program. I'll give him a face. You're feeding per day. 00:45:16
Hate you, man. Fish you. 00:45:24
For life. So I think it's a great program and I I wish you all the luck in the world with it. 00:45:25
Supervisor. 00:45:31
Yeah, I agree with Supervisor Humphrey. It's a needed program. And so hopefully it'll all iron out and we'll be good. So thank 00:45:33
you, Josh. 00:45:37
Thank you, Josh. I have no questions. So with that, I'll call for a motion, Mr. Move to approve Amendment #2 for the funding 00:45:42
agreement #100-23 with the Arizona Department of Housing as free. 00:45:48
I'll second that Mr. Chair motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye. Aye. Thank you, Josh. 00:45:56
Take a break. 00:46:03
Item 4. 00:46:06
Information Discussion. Action to ratify the Board Supervisors Approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona 00:46:07
Department of Homeland Security for the Gila County Emergency Management Redundant and Interoperable NS EOC Communications Project 00:46:14
and approve. 00:46:20
The Arizona Department of Homeland Security Sub Grantee Agreement #21-A ZDO HS-H S GP-2 One 0307-01 to accept the related grant 00:46:28
award in the amount of 25,000 for the performance period of January 124 to July 3124. Carl, good to see you. 00:46:41
Good morning, Chairman, members of the board. I can't compete with Mr. Beck as far as the dollar amounts he brings to the table, 00:46:54
but I'm sure going to track. So this was a grant application to replace some of the communication equipment. 00:47:00
That allows us to communicate with our Emergency Management staff between the north and the South. It's a redundant communication 00:47:06
system, so. 00:47:10
Other reason that this exists is of other communication options fail. We have access to the system. We also do have an amateur 00:47:14
radio volunteer group that helps us with communicating throughout the county if other communication means fail. 00:47:20
Initially upon application. 00:47:27
We were not going to get funded because public safety is kind of going towards an 800 megahertz system and this is VHF and UHF. 00:47:30
Umm, once we explained that we do need to maintain these systems, one for our civil defense repeater, another for our emergency 00:47:39
alert system that depend on VHFUHF. So we do still plan on going towards 800 megahertz with public safety, but also maintaining 00:47:46
this capability as a redundant communication. The current equipment that we have is at least 15 years old minus the bits and 00:47:54
pieces that we've had to put together to keep the system running up until this point. 00:48:01
We were funded for. We requested $43,000 and this was for the repeater equipment. 00:48:10
An additional repeater for our mobile communications vehicle and some other handheld radio and other equipment to go with it. We 00:48:17
were initially awarded $14,000 and then an additional $11,000. So we're looking at a total award of $25,000 which will at least 00:48:24
replace the repeaters in the North and South and re establish that line of communication. 00:48:32
Thank you, Carl, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:48:41
Yeah. No, it's great with all, with all that you do and all that you've been responsible for in helping us do all that we've been 00:48:44
through. 00:48:48
It's a great thing and I and I wish there was more grant money out there to help you more. 00:48:53
Thank you for reaching out for what you do get to be able to do what you do. Thank you and I'll be looking for more. 00:48:58
Thank you, Supervisor Cline. Carl, thanks for keeping that older system up until you're ready to switch over because that that 00:49:06
wouldn't work if everybody went to the 800. 00:49:10
Real quick. So thanks for doing that. Appreciate it. Thank you. We plan on keeping it going because if something happens to 1 00:49:14
system, we have another and it can very easily be utilized by our public safety partners as well and be able to mention that. So 00:49:20
if something with their system goes wrong, we can allow them over onto ours and re establish communications. 00:49:26
Thank you. Thank you, Carl. I have no questions. I'll call for a motion. 00:49:32
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of a grant application to Arizona 00:49:36
Department of Homeland Security. 00:49:40
AZDOHS for the Hila County Emergency Management Redundant and Interoperable North and South EOC. 00:49:45
Communications Project and Approve Arizona Dohs Subgrantee agreement #21-A ZDOHS. 00:49:52
HSGP DASH 21030701 as presented. 00:50:02
Mr. Gerald second, thank you and. 00:50:08
All those in favor say aye, aye, that's one of the longest numbers. Thank you, gentlemen. I will make sure to request a shorter 00:50:13
grant award number on the next one. 00:50:18
OK. Thank you, Carl. Item 4 J Information Discussion action to approve an economic development agreement number 08192023 between 00:50:25
Hill County and the Payson Elks Club number 2154 in the amount of 15,000 for the construction of the. 00:50:33
Rally around the flag's project on the Tunnel Apache reservation in Payson, AZ, which the board is determined to be for the 00:50:42
benefit of the public. 00:50:47
And what do you have this idea and if you want to share it on this, by all means do so. So this is a project that the Tom Apache 00:50:52
started a couple of years ago, I believe it was. It made great leaps and bounds in it. They raised a lot of money. They got a 00:50:58
really awesome plan to to put these flags down the hill of. 00:51:05
It's it's gonna, it's good. It's a really cool project and of course, just like it says there, it's to honor our veterans and. 00:51:12
And everyone as well. And so they've worked really hard and I'm glad to be able to help. 00:51:19
Support it. 00:51:25
Thank you supervisor, client, supervisor Humphrey. 00:51:27
I have no quest. 00:51:29
Now this is a project which they've been working on and Asian you know is known as the flag capital of Arizona Right now 00:51:31
correction to that is us as a border supporting this, all three of us. 00:51:37
So. 00:51:42
So I really appreciate it, right. So this comes out of our discretionary funds. 00:51:44
Sure, yes. 00:51:50
OK, with that I would offer a motion. 00:51:53
Mr. Chair, I move to approve Economic development grant number 08192023. 00:51:56
With a patient Elks Club #2154AS presented, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public and Mr. Chair, I'll 00:52:02
second that motion and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, aye. 00:52:10
Thank you and item 4K Information Discussion Action to approve an Economic development Agreement number 010524 between Hema County 00:52:18
and the Brownsville Western Heritage Incorporated in the amount of 5000 to support Brownsville Western Heritage Incorporated, 00:52:25
which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:52:33
Yeah, they do. They do a great job every year with with the kids on on getting them out and letting them know about ranching and 00:52:41
and heritage and things of that nature. 00:52:46
It's just they they bus kids out and it's really a great thing for for. 00:52:53
For Gila County to be able to have people that care like they do and so. 00:52:59
If we'll vote for this, not only did we vote for it, but all three of us contributed to this as well. 00:53:04
Thank you, Supervisor, Supervisor Klein. 00:53:12
So absolutely they are Brownsville's in Tunnel Basin and. 00:53:15
They've grown that. 00:53:21
A lot for participants. I I'm not sure exactly how many kids they have now that participate, but it's a lot. 00:53:23
And I know also that NRCD supports it as well and they've done an awesome job and they're they're taking a lot of it into the 00:53:30
schools and classrooms as well. So, so it's good. 00:53:36
Thank you supervisor and I I agree it's a great program and it's rare. 00:53:42
That programs like this exist and. 00:53:48
Through the Browns a lot. And so they volunteer a lot of their own time and money to do this. 00:53:52
If anyone from the paper is listening, we should do an article on what they do down there. 00:53:57
At Brownsville. So with that I will entertain a motion. 00:54:03
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement number 010524. 00:54:07
With Brownsville Western Heritage Incorporated as presented, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:54:14
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion, and a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye, aye. 00:54:22
Moving on to 4 L information discussion action to approve the use of State contract agreement number Ctr. 059323 with Santan Ford 00:54:29
Partners LLC in the amount of $122,707.96 for the purchase of two 2024 Ford Expedition 4 door 4 by 4 SSDs as outlined in the 00:54:38
specifications. 00:54:46
And we have Romero and Mr. Laforge as well. 00:54:55
Good morning. 00:55:01
And for the supervisors, Dave is going to present the item the next two items L&M, Dave Laforge. 00:55:02
I'll be back for NNO and then Dave will come back for item number B if it's OK with the board. Thank you, Romero. 00:55:09
Mr. Laforge, good morning. 00:55:16
Chairman Members of the board, as stated in the agenda item, probation would like to take advantage of some grant funding that was 00:55:19
set aside. 00:55:23
And that or that's set to expire at the end of June, I'm sorry. 00:55:27
David, hang on. We're having a connectivity problem down here. 00:55:33
Can't hear? 00:55:38
OK, just hold on. 00:55:41
All right. 00:55:44
It's going along very well. 00:55:51
What you do? 00:55:58
Can you test your microphone? 00:56:23
Yeah. Can you hear me? 00:56:25
No. 00:56:28
Yeah. 00:56:58
OK, give it another test. 00:57:12
Yeah. Can you hear me now? 00:57:15
Anything. 00:57:20
Keep talking. 00:57:23
I'm here. I'm ready. 00:57:24
Chairman with information and Dave, with your permission, if it's OK I can make the presentation. Please do suggest me as needed. 00:57:34
Sorry about that. 00:57:45
I apologize for not having Dave on these two items and and perhaps introducing. 00:57:47
A little problem here. 00:57:53
The item that we're talking about is item 4L and it is requesting the board to approve a state contract for the purchase of two 00:57:55
new Ford expeditions with Santan Ford Partners and as David started to talk about this, these are two vehicles for probation. 00:58:02
Probation has a grant they would like to utilize. 00:58:09
They have $109,000 available. 00:58:17
They're going to take approximately $13,000 from their from their division funding to complement that so that they can buy these 00:58:21
two expeditions. They in turn will return two vehicles, older vehicles. 00:58:27
That are on our replacement list. 00:58:34
Those vehicles will then be auctioned And so we're not adding vehicles, we're merely replacing grant vehicles with grant money. 00:58:36
And and with that I would like to request the board to approve the Arizona State contract with San Tan Ford Partners for the 00:58:42
purchase of two new Ford expeditions. 00:58:47
Thank you, Humira. Supervisor, Hump. 00:58:54
Yeah, I I the only question I have is at some point I would like to maybe have a work session on why we just like Ford's, but 00:58:58
other than that I don't have any questions. 00:59:03
Supervisor CL. 00:59:10
I like Fords. Yeah. Well, yeah. Why? Why is that the only vehicle that we have? I just put things out for bed. 00:59:12
No, I'm good. I'm good. Thank you, Homero. Thank you, Homero. I'm good as well. I will entertain a motion. 00:59:22
Mr. Chair, I move to approve Amendment #2. 00:59:29
The funding agreement number 10023 with the Arizona Department of Housing as presented. 00:59:33
Oh, that's not it. Sorry, I forgot to turn my page. Hold on. I moved to because we were on the Ford deal. I moved to approve 00:59:41
agreement number Ctr. 059323 with Santan. 00:59:48
Partners LLC as. 00:59:56
Then I will second that OK motion in a second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, aye. 01:00:00
OK motion carries So for M information discussion action to review the bid submitted for invitation for bids number zero 9253-2, 01:00:06
New class 810 wheel dump trucks and award contract number 092523 to Empire Truck and trailer in the total amount of. 01:00:16
Or $115,417.14 for the purchase of two trucks. 01:00:27
Thank you, Chairman. This item is asking the Board to award a contract in response to an invitation for bids. 01:00:35
For two new Class 810 wheel dump trucks. 01:00:42
We did receive one bit. 01:00:47
This was, this was published in the paper. We followed all the state and county procurement requirements. We were hoping for more 01:00:48
than one. We received one competitive bid pretty very close to what we had budgeted. We look up Internet pricing and IT and it 01:00:54
appears to be a valid competitive bid. 01:00:59
And it is by Empire Truck and Trailer. They met all the specifications and offered a total bid price of $415,417.14 for two units. 01:01:06
With that, I would like to ask the board to approve this awarding this contract. 01:01:16
Any questions? Yeah, thank you. Romero Supervisor Humphrey. I have no question. Pleasure. 01:01:22
I really don't either other than just one simple one. I guess we we we pick up two new dump trucks or are we still needing more? 01:01:29
We will continue. Yes we can. We continue to meet vehicle as time goes on. I wouldn't, I don't know if A10 wheel truck is the next 01:01:39
priority. 01:01:45
I know they were interested in buying the compactors that we that we attached to to to a 10 Wheeler to a motor grader. 01:01:51
We purchased through. They're working very successfully. The Council Basin would like to have one as well as the Globe Rd. yard. 01:02:01
Those are actually $25,000 each approximately, so it's not a major purchase. 01:02:09
But we will every budget year this is this ends the capital equipment purchases that we had scheduled for this year. So we're 01:02:14
looking at next year and setting up priority and sometime in March hopefully we come to the board and share with you some of the 01:02:20
capital equipment requirements we need going forward. Good. Thank you, Homer. 01:02:27
Yes, thank you, Omar. I will call for a bit. I mean motion. 01:02:35
Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to award contract number 092523. 01:02:39
To Empire truck and trailer as presented. 01:02:44
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, Motion and 2nd to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye. 01:02:48
Thank you Humero, item four and information, discussion and action. 01:02:54
To review the bid submitted for request for proposal number 110623 on Call Heavy Truck and Equipment Services and award contract 01:02:58
number 1106232 RDO Equipment Company and not to exceed amount of 150,000 for a period of one year with three one year renewal 01:03:05
options. 01:03:12
Thank you, Chairman. 01:03:20
This on December 5th we we came to the board and we talked about the reason for doing this and the need to do this. We rely on one 01:03:22
vendor heavily and we were looking for other vendors so that if we needed something done next week we at least have somebody else 01:03:28
we can go through if that vendor was was busy. 01:03:35
And we've run into cases where they are. 01:03:42
And so this was an effort to expand available vendors to us for repair of equipment. 01:03:45
We had at one time had three compactors down at the landfill out of four and that really puts a burden on on on the entire team 01:03:51
trying to use different type of equipment instead of what is the most efficient equipment. And so we were looking for vendors. We 01:03:58
actually talked to vendors in the valley to try to understand what what they would be interested in in in in submitting a an 01:04:05
interest in this request for proposal. 01:04:11
And we incorporated the idea. 01:04:18
We will assign you some routine maintenance or when you come to Young, you're not only coming to repair something that broke down, 01:04:21
but you would do some maintenance. 01:04:26
Work as well. We have that in the request for proposal for them. 01:04:31
So we're going with what is the one valid bit that we have RDO equipment company and we'll we'll be asking the board to to approve 01:05:10
this, this submittal. 01:05:16
For. 01:05:24
For the request for proposal and on call heavy truck and equipment services and award the contract to RVO Equipment Company for a 01:05:26
not to exceed amount of 150,000 in a contract that's renewable for three years. 01:05:33
With that, I'll take any questions the Board may have. Chairman. 01:05:41
Yes, Jessica, members of the board, just due to the comments that Homero made, I just want to note that you do have the option, if 01:05:46
time is not of the essence, to deny all the bids and then put it out for bidding it. 01:05:52
Thank you, Jessica. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:06:00
Yeah, I I don't, I mean to me that's not necessary because we have equipment breakdown all the time I think as soon as we can get. 01:06:06
Some. 01:06:14
In line, I think it's a good thing and and so there's always time in the future to put things out for for rebuilds. 01:06:15
Anyway, so that gives us two vendors that we can call at this point in time. 01:06:26
If we need serv. 01:06:30
Which is important if we have equipment broke down at our landfills and have to compact and things of that nature. So I I have no 01:06:32
further questions. Thank you supervisor. 01:06:37
RDO home. Are they coming out of the valley? 01:06:45
They're out of Flagstaff. 01:06:49
OK and. 01:06:53
And is time of essence to us. 01:06:55
Yes, time is of essence. 01:07:03
All right. I don't have anything else. 01:07:06
OK. Thank you, supervisor. 01:07:09
Yeah, I agree. I think we should vote. 01:07:12
Pudding is in at as far as local contractors. We would love to see more of that if they're not willing to submit a bid though. 01:07:15
There's not much we can do for that, so I will entertain a motion. 01:07:23
Mr. Chair, I move toward contract the 110623 to RDO Equipment Company as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and 2nd to 01:07:28
approve item 4. 01:07:34
All those in favor say aye, aye. 01:07:41
Thank you, Homero. And we have item 4. 01:07:44
Information Discussion Action to authorize the advertisement for Requests for Qualifications number 011224 on Call Professional 01:07:48
Training. 01:07:52
Thank you, Chairman. This request, this item is a request for qualification for on call professional training. 01:07:58
The training is spelled out in the board. Item has to do with hydraulics and hydrology. 01:08:06
And we're not trying to necessarily the team that is going to be invited to this on site training. In other words, the training is 01:08:11
going to happen either here or inpatient. 01:08:16
And it targets our engineering. 01:08:21
Tom Goodman and Alex and our project management team today is Steve Williams, but we're looking for another project manager as we 01:08:23
speak. 01:08:27
And our our Rd. yards, especially the road yard. 01:08:32
And so there there is like a simple they call it a normal graph. It's a it's a device that you use on a piece of paper to project 01:08:37
how much flow would flow through a culvert. You have to understand how to read it. It's something that that the entire team can 01:08:42
learn how to use. 01:08:46
There's an understanding of how the erosion setbacks and and and and that and the and the width of a floodplain. Some of those 01:08:52
calculations on a very conservative level are are basically algebra and simple. And so the we're asking for this this engineering 01:08:59
firm, an engineer to come to come down and and offer some training that utilizes some of the state standards that Arizona 01:09:07
Department of Water Resources has put together. 01:09:14
So that we get our team to understand what I call the basics and the fundamentals of hydrology and hydraulics. 01:09:23
And it envisions envisions are like a two day training period, one day today and then 2-3 weeks later another day of training and 01:09:29
inviting at least the thing that I just talked about. It would be such that we will work with that engineering firm to determine 01:09:35
that the level of complexity. 01:09:41
This is not meant necessarily for engineers, even though I think our engineering team will benefit from this. 01:09:47
It is meant for the project managers and the road yard managers. 01:09:53
And it's an opportunity to learn. It's an opportunity to do it here locally instead of traveling. It's an opportunity for the team 01:09:57
to come together. 01:10:02
An opportunity for us to interact with the person that is presenting the training and to kind of custom the the training almost on 01:10:07
the spot. We're going to try to do it ahead of time, but if somebody asked a question that wants it needs to be answered to have 01:10:12
that person be able to answer that that question. 01:10:18
It's just trying, I think, to grow. 01:10:24
In something that we that we. 01:10:28
And with that, we ask for the board to approve this request for qualification. 01:10:32
Supervisor Humphrey. 01:10:38
I I have no questions. 01:10:41
Supervisor Klein, I don't have any questions, I just have a comment. I really like the idea of doing doing more of this too. 01:10:43
And we're getting those folks over here to train our people in Henry County. So I'm all for anything like this. It's good. So 01:10:50
thank you for bringing this up. Yeah. Thank you, Humira. I totally agree. I think that it'll be funny over time if our if our own 01:10:56
people can make these calculations without having to hire. 01:11:01
All that out every time though. 01:11:07
With that, I will call for a motion, Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of requests for qualifications 01:11:10
number 011224. 01:11:14
I'll second that Mr. Chair Motion, and 2nd to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye. 01:11:20
And I presume we'll marry you'll also do 4. 01:11:26
Information Discussion Action to approve Service Agreement number 011124 with. 01:11:30
Heartstruck Manufacturing LLC in an amount not to exceed $51,229 for the purchase and installation of an animal control box as 01:11:36
outlined in the specifications. 01:11:42
Thank you, Chairman. 01:11:50
We have been before the board on this item and at that time we talked about the uses of. 01:11:52
Vehicles that we have that have poor utilization and in fact we incorporated that idea into. 01:11:59
This this vehicle for animal control and and this is an agreement, it would provide for the purchase and installation of a custom 01:12:06
fiberglass animal control box on an already county owned 2021 Ford F-350 Chassis Club. 01:12:14
Tab and it would be vehicle number C-111-A. 01:12:22
From Heartstrap Manufacturing. 01:12:27
LLC. 01:12:31
The custom Animal Dog box is built with six separate compartments that are time control and will allow Animal Control the ability 01:12:32
to safely and humanely transport multiple animals in all weather conditions, as well as properly store and and and and provide 01:12:39
security to the equipment that they use for during their duties. 01:12:46
And that's what we're trying to accomplish with this, utilizing a vehicle that we already have that wasn't being utilized 01:12:54
properly. 01:12:58
And putting a animal. 01:13:03
Control box on top of this vehicle that is a something that is allow us to transport them in all types of weather and with that we 01:13:05
ask for the board to approve. 01:13:11
Service agreement number. 01:13:18
01/11/24 with heartstroke manufacturing in an amount not 50 C $51,229 for the purchase and installation of this animal control 01:13:20
box. 01:13:25
Thank you, mayoral supervisor. 01:13:31
I have no question, Supervisor Klein. Yeah, I'm good. Thank you, ****. So Homero, is this going to be installed in Gila County or 01:13:35
are we having to move the truck somewhere else? We're having to haul the truck. OK is it a? 01:13:41
Yes, it is. OK. All right. Because I remember this discussion, so it sounds good. So item 4P I'll call for motion. 01:13:50
Make sure I move to approve service agreement number 011124 with Heartstrings Manufacturing, LLC as presented. And Mr. Chair, I'll 01:13:57
second that motion. And a second to approve those in favor. Say aye. Aye. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, David. 01:14:03
Sorry we didn't have that. 01:14:09
We'll have to look into what's going on up there. 01:14:17
So we're down to item 4, Q information discussion action to present the results of a public surplus online auction conducted on 01:14:20
behalf of the Board of Supervisors in December 2023 for properties that were deeded to the State of Arizona in care of the Board 01:14:29
Supervisors in 2023 and authorized the Chairman's signature on the related claim deeds for the sale of 14 properties. 01:14:39
Samantha's still a sin on that. 01:14:48
Thank you Chairman and Board members. 01:14:51
On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, Public Surplus and the Clerk of the Boards Office held an online option to sell the 15 01:14:54
properties. 01:14:57
That were deeded to the state of Arizona in care of the Board of Supervisors in 2023. 01:15:00
The option began on December 15th, 2023 and ended on January 2nd, 2024. Of the 15 properties listed, 14 were sold. 01:15:04
A total of $71,522.01 was collected and deposited with the County treasurer on January 18th, 2024. 01:15:15
This resulted in a net profit of $54,525.50 over the lien amount, and the 14 properties are once again on the tax rolls. If you 01:15:23
have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. 01:15:28
Thank you, Samantha Supervisor Humphrey. 01:15:34
No, just just provided that it's advertised well, I think this online auction is a great thing. I think it's a good way to go. 01:15:37
I remember doing a couple of these auctions and it wasn't as much fun as you would think it would be. So yeah, I think I think 01:15:44
it's great and like I said, providing that it's well advertised, I think that's a good way to go with that property. Thank you for 01:15:49
all your work and. 01:15:54
Thank you. And Supervisor Klein, Thank you, Sam. Good job. 01:16:01
Yeah. Thank you for that. And so with that, I'll call for a motion. 01:16:05
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the chairman's signature on 14 Quit Claim deeds for property sold at the public 01:16:10
surplus surplus online auction in December 22. 01:16:15
I'll second that Mr. Chair motion and a second to approve item 4. Q. All those in favor say aye, Aye. 01:16:21
Hey, moving on to consent agenda item, item 5A through L. 01:16:29
With any of the supervisors wish to remove one or more of the items in the consent agenda. 01:16:36
List supervisor Humphrey I I don't care to remove anything or comment on anything. Supervisor I think I'm good. Mr. Chair. Thank 01:16:43
you. I'm good as well. I'll call for a motion. 01:16:48
Mr. Chair, I move to approve consent agenda items by A through 5. 01:16:55
And Mr. Chair, I'll. 01:17:04
A promotion and. 01:17:06
To approve the consent agenda items, All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. 01:17:08
Very good. Moving right along here. So our next item is called to the public item 6. 01:17:13
So this is the time and I do have. 01:17:19
Call to the public. 01:17:25
Forms it looks like. 01:17:26
Here on these lists are from Young. 01:17:29
So I will call for. Is it Danette K? 01:17:32
OK. Would you like to come forward please? Did I pronounce your name correctly? 01:17:40
I'm sorry. And so go ahead please. If you could just remind them the statute for the call of the public and then the time limit of 01:17:48
three minutes, OK. The the statute is Arizona Revised Statute 38, Dash 431.018 and. 01:17:57
This is key we. 01:18:08
Trying to limit it to 3 minutes. OK, Is there a clock somewhere that I'm supposed to look at? Oh, you'll get buzzed. Yeah, you'll 01:18:11
get you'll get buzzed. So I'm under 3 minutes. Sounds good. Thank you so much for this morning. My name is Danette Key. I live at 01:18:18
295 S Rolling Hills Rd. I retired to young about seven years ago where I helped. I would have a supplement income to help me 01:18:26
through my retirement Years. A year ago, after deciding what we we were going to do, we finally put down a $7000 septic system. 01:18:33
For our planned short term rental after that was done we ordered a 16 by 40 square foot 20,000 house shell and had put in the 01:18:40
first half of our two acre land of acres of land. Then after that was completed we spent $26,000 removing and replacing an old 01:18:49
dilapidated fence surrounding the proposed short term rental as to increase the beauty of it facing potato views. 01:18:58
And it has a really cute little deck right in front of it and make it look even nicer. I live with my husband on our two acre and 01:19:07
the back of our two acres, which most short term rental owners do in young. 01:19:13
So we were hoping to have it done by spring, but now with all those new with this new ordinance, we're really worried that this is 01:19:19
not going to happen. One of the items in the ordinance I would like to see removed is this background check. 01:19:25
It is requiring short term rental owner to do more than a hotel or a motel is required to do and I don't think that seems right 01:19:31
and it feels like a penalty for doing business as a short term rental. I don't mind posting the items and warnings that was 01:19:39
indicated in this ordinance, but am I posting it in my house or am I posting it outside of my rental? I'm at to say rental on both 01:19:47
of those including my name and address and phone number for any transient or criminal to walk by and copy. 01:19:54
The ordinance doesn't really address this specifically. Also, the item that addresses the occupancy is very confusing to me. I'm 01:20:02
assuming that part in the ordinance was to limit people from having a large crazy party on the property, but it won't solve that 01:20:09
problem. For example, if I invited 20 people over to my rental for a party and let's say they're not staying the night. 01:20:17
Therefore, they're not occupying the rental. They all go home by 10:00, but let's say four people decide that to crash on my couch 01:20:25
because I'm not going to let them drive through my town intoxicated. Does the sheriff come the next day and count the four 01:20:32
crashers on the couch as occupants? Does the owner get a fine for agreeing that they shouldn't Dr. intoxicated through the town? 01:20:39
It seems very ridiculous to me because the problem is still there. 01:20:45
Now I am here representing several owners of Short Term Rentals and Young and I'm hoping soon to see a scheduled work meeting with 01:20:52
all three of our county supervisors addressing this ordinance and hopefully making some changes that makes sense. 01:21:00
I'm not completely opposed to it, but I think that a lot of it is redundant and some of it is unnecessary and will in the long run 01:21:07
hurt us all financially. I'll look forward to that meeting. Would like to know if you could tell us today when that meeting is 01:21:14
scheduled and I will be following up so that we all or we'll all be following up to see if we can be more involved. Thank you. 01:21:21
Great timing. 01:21:28
Thank you for that. 01:21:31
That meeting has not yet been scheduled, but it will be at some point. OK And next we we have Mr. 01:21:33
Is it how it is? 01:21:44
Thank. 01:21:48
My name is Hal Key. I live at 295 S Rolling Hills Rd. 01:21:50
I'm retired from the Mesa Fire Department as a Fire Protection engineer, and I'm also a licensed mechanical engineer. 01:21:54
I have served on multiple national committees, both with the International Building Congress, which writes the International 01:22:02
Building Code, International Residential Code, International Fire Code, and I have submitted numerous changes to those documents. 01:22:09
So codes are what I lived with during my professional career. 01:22:17
I've studied this ordinance of the First off I want to apologize for. 01:22:23
Knowing that this ordinance was on the agenda in December. 01:22:28
And even knowing that was being considered, that's my. 01:22:32
I've now been made aware of it and will pay closer attention to this issue. 01:22:36
I want. 01:22:43
One piece of the ordinance that you may not have thought about that will. 01:22:44
Maybe come into play. 01:22:50
And that's youth camps. 01:22:53
We have a number of youth camps within Gila. 01:22:55
Both Boy Scouts, which have two Girl Scouts, have one and their other youth camps within the county. 01:22:58
Those are short term rent. 01:23:05
Those troops, those scouts, they come in for a week. 01:23:08
And they're renting their. 01:23:12
And if they can't, if tents are excluded from? 01:23:14
Being a short term rental. 01:23:18
That limits what they can. 01:23:20
Cap Geronimo has approximately 20 buildings that are cabins. 01:23:22
That. 01:23:27
The Grand Canyon Council rents out at times. 01:23:29
Those that fall into that category. 01:23:34
And then when they are, the camp is in. 01:23:36
Which is about 7 weeks during the year. 01:23:40
The staff then lives in those camps. 01:23:44
Now they're paid room and board along with their weekly salary, but then that would be considered them paying for that cabin. 01:23:46
So my suggestion is that we address this particular piece. 01:23:54
Of that Ord. 01:24:00
Thank you. Thank you. 01:24:02
And next we have. And forgive me if I don't understand, That's Janine Nyman. 01:24:04
Janine Neiman. 01:24:12
Please come up and tell us what first for me. I've been in this room a few times, but thank you for having us supervisors. I live 01:24:14
in young AZ and I just started doing a short term rental in October. 01:24:20
I have. 01:24:27
It's massive. It's 26 foot teepee. It's it's luxury. It's beautiful. 01:24:29
It's not an ordinance. It wouldn't comply. 01:24:38
Because you it's. I've got one. 01:24:41
And. 01:24:44
It now that it's permitted, I have a permit on the deck, which is good. 01:24:47
But I need to make sure that I can still operate this. It does because it was a three-point 6.4 were RV's. 01:24:51
Being Airbnb. 01:24:59
And that being said, our friend Lauren Cathcart, who's not here and she's been hosting for five years, she's a super host. I just 01:25:02
got super host. Yay, yay. 01:25:06
And I. 01:25:12
But she has an Airstream RV now. There's no wheels on it. It's permanent. 01:25:14
So in that, it's saying that things are temporary. Well, my teepee. Yeah. Could I take it down tomorrow? Yeah, it's going to be a 01:25:19
pain because it took me about six months to get it up. 01:25:23
It's massive. It's not something that's temporary, but it's really enjoyable. 01:25:28
Families have come. 01:25:33
Have enjoyed it. First time camping experiences. I mean a mother and her two kids came up, our father and his two kids, they've 01:25:35
never camped the day in their life and like what a nice treat for them to do that. 01:25:41
So I just think we need to look at. 01:25:49
Ordinance. 01:25:51
Because I have a unique experience, but. 01:25:54
I'm not working. I had to retire from doing hair after 33 years. 01:25:57
So neck problems. 01:26:01
You know a lot of that. So this was my next thing. And then while I was on vacation, I get a thing and I'm like, are you kidding 01:26:03
me? I'm like, I finally start something and I'm finally like, getting out of my depression. And then this hits. So I would really 01:26:09
like you guys to consider. 01:26:14
Doing a meeting and let's kind of work it out because there are unique experiences. And my next thing that I'm building on my 2 01:26:20
acres, it's not even. 01:26:24
It's my property, but a Hobbit house. 01:26:28
Subterranean Hobbit house so that, you know, I look in the future if I have to live in it. 01:26:31
Someday. I can't. So I want it to be fun and it's exciting. 01:26:37
We do these. 01:26:42
Airbnb things because it's like, oh, it's fun. It's like, oh, I want to stay in The Hobbit house. We're seeing a TV and I've got 01:26:43
nothing but, you know, five star reviews and. 01:26:48
I'd hate to not be able to do this because my husband, 67, he's gonna need to retire in a few years, even though he doesn't think 01:26:53
so. But we're gonna need some extra income and I can't go back to doing here. 01:26:58
It's just not. 01:27:03
I was really good at it when my clients is in the back row, old client so you know she was. 01:27:05
Who is waiting? Real happy about that, But I had to retire. 01:27:11
But I just like to consider about. 01:27:16
Like, let's look at this ordinance, at least for young. You know, whatever you want to do with pine strawberry. Not my problem, 01:27:18
but our town is just so special. 01:27:21
And the businesses rely on. 01:27:25
Every single one. 01:27:28
And so without. 01:27:29
You got nowhere to stay except the hotel. 01:27:31
So thank you very much. Thank you, Miss Anaemon. 01:27:34
The supervisors can respond to any criticism as they perceive it, and they also direct staff. 01:27:40
To look into a matter, so I would. 01:27:48
Ask Supervisor Humphrey if he has anything. 01:27:53
I don't feel criticized. 01:27:56
Supervisor Klein. 01:28:01
No, I think it's once I'm not criticized either. So that's a good start. But no, I would just. 01:28:02
Say that you know for work session on this would be would be good. 01:28:09
Thank you for your presentations. I have made a little list of some of your concerns and. 01:28:15
Yes, Manager Menlov, Mr. Chairman. We are working to get the schedule. I just checked with Michael. It is not scheduled at this 01:28:22
time. 01:28:26
But we have anticipated and planned to have a work session. 01:28:31
Thank you for that and I did speak with manager Men Love this morning and so it. 01:28:36
Won't be any sooner than the month of March. 01:28:42
Just try to look for that as we move forward. So Mr. Fair, if I may. 01:28:46
As we direct staff, I would like staff to perhaps. 01:28:52
Reach out to all communities because if we do something, it's county wide can. 01:28:57
Break off parts of the county. 01:29:03
So that if we're going to have a work session, let's reach out. 01:29:05
The people that we know with short term rent. 01:29:10
To get as much input as we can at that meeting. 01:29:15
Instead of just had people from a particular area, when we're working with an ordinance that's county wide that we get as much 01:29:19
information in front of us. 01:29:24
To work with staff as we go forward. 01:29:29
Thank you, Supervisor. Hopefully, Supervisor Klein. Mr. Chair, I I agree with that as well. You know our ordinance will be 01:29:33
counting wide. 01:29:37
And so the the more input, participation, ideas, whatever we can get out folks, the better off we're all going to be. So. 01:29:41
Thank you. And so if I were to direct staff. 01:29:52
I'm sorry if I were to direct staff, the concerns listed today were background checks and whether or not that is something that we 01:29:56
should include in the ordinance or not, occupancy issues as far as was indicated, whether people were there that don't spend the 01:30:03
night or something that was concerned youth camps and. 01:30:10
This tee. 01:30:18
But that sounds intriguing, actually. 01:30:20
But it's that that is something that doesn't fit. 01:30:25
In the ordinance, well, and so I think management men love. 01:30:29
You know, let. 01:30:34
Pursue those so that when we do have a work session we can address. 01:30:37
Issues that we've already agreed to look at. Anything that needs to be bukered. 01:30:42
In this ordinance we don't want. 01:30:47
Concerning, we want it to work well. 01:30:50
OK. With that, I will ask if there's any more public here in. 01:30:53
Globe that wishes to speak. 01:31:00
How about Payson, Lisa? 01:31:03
No, Sir. Thank you. Did you hear her? 01:31:05
Loud and clear. 01:31:08
No, you didn't. OK, Cassandra, anybody on the Internet? 01:31:10
How many? 01:31:14
20 That's good. All right. 01:31:16
Thank you. And so I'll move to item 7 at this time. 01:31:20
We will allow the members of the board and the County Manager to prevent a brief summary of current events. So management love Mr. 01:31:23
Chairman members of the Board. Last week I wanted to have some discussion about it with our facilities discussion but. 01:31:30
Expansion. 01:31:37
Landfill in the northern part of the county went on a tour with Mr. Bella and his team. 01:31:40
They run a great operation as evidenced by the recognition that was given this morning. 01:31:47
But they looking at what the potential uses of that property. 01:31:53
I believe that we came, they came back with a estimate of $1700 per acre. 01:31:58
And may consider. 01:32:03
An acquisition. 01:32:06
500 to 600 acres in that area for future development. 01:32:07
County. 01:32:13
County programs and services. 01:32:17
So it's. 01:32:20
Some opportunities there to take advantage of this. The Town side act is what this acquisition would be through. 01:32:23
And town side act, the Forest Service is telling us this is a one time deal. That's whatever we need. 01:32:29
For any potential future uses by Gila County needs to be done at this time, so that is moving forward. It'll be coming to you for 01:32:35
consideration in the next several months. 01:32:40
Thank you. Thank you. That's an incredible price. 01:32:46
Supervisor Humphrey. 01:32:49
I have attended a CAG Regional Council meeting, attended a District 2 project meeting. 01:32:53
Tended an ankle transportation. 01:33:00
Steering meeting. I'll hold a Tunnel Basin community meeting tonight. 01:33:03
And we'll hold a Roosevelt community meeting on February the 12th. 01:33:10
I will be on KQSS on February the 12th at 5:30. 01:33:15
And then we'll attend the Miami Town Council meeting. 01:33:19
At 6:30 after that. So that's that's kind of my recent activities. Thanks Supervisor Klein. 01:33:24
Mr. Chair, last Friday I was I attended a breakfast round table with Governor Hobbs. 01:33:32
In Superior, there was probably 15 of us, Kathy. 01:33:38
Yeah, not just a perfect group. 01:33:44
Good. 01:33:47
And she was there to kind of focus on the copper corridor and resolution was given her some tours and. 01:33:49
Taking her down in this, the mine and everything like that. Yesterday I was on Kmog and Mr. Menlov was there with me. We had some 01:33:55
good questions, I believe good topics. Everything went good on that and. 01:34:03
This coming Friday, me and Mr. Menlov. 01:34:10
Kathy, we're all headed to DC to Naco, so. 01:34:14
Will be there till. You're not coming back to Wednesday though, are you? Yeah. Well, me and Kathy will be flying back on Tuesday. 01:34:19
Mr. Chairman, can I add on to that. 01:34:29
Of course our business to Washington DC or or to look for funding. 01:34:32
And different projects. 01:34:36
Just make sure you're aware and the public of what projects that we are submitting and taking forward public. 01:34:39
Are first of all the 512. 01:34:45
Looking to continue to get that asphalt on. 01:34:48
Whatever surface we get down there about to improve 512. 01:34:52
We have three roads that we want to do, but of course 512 was the number one priority. Second is a control Rd. in Northern Gila. 01:34:57
Whole section we continue to improve sections of that but still continue to seek for funding for the control. 01:35:05
And 3rd, 3rd is the Russell. 01:35:12
Access up into the can. 01:35:15
That's a third priority. We're not going to get funding this early, but we are getting as was stated. 01:35:17
A state smart grant to do the design and and do. 01:35:24
Preparation for that that. 01:35:27
In the future, take that road to the. 01:35:29
To the federal government for funding three other projects that we have. One is electrical out of the fairgrounds. 01:35:33
$1.5 million cost that was mentioned by. 01:35:42
Really there's no further development that can happen out there without that three phase electrical in that area. 01:35:47
Another one. 01:35:54
We had talked about doing composting last year, but we're going to refine our request for recycling that are both of our landfill. 01:35:56
That requires some machinery and equipment to be able to do proper recycling, so we're going to. 01:36:03
Expand our recycling programs that they are doing now. 01:36:11
But get some funding for new equipment to take care of that and then. 01:36:14
And Ada Compl. 01:36:20
Residents for the Veterans, Ret. 01:36:23
So those six projects are on our list of potential federal funding. 01:36:26
Thank you. Thank you. And I wish you the best to get all that done. So, yeah, Mr. Chair, if I may just back up a little bit there, 01:36:32
if I should have done to begin with what in that round table discussion with Governor Hobbs? 01:36:38
I focused on three. 01:36:45
Issues one was the Russell. 01:36:47
I spoke with Homero on. 01:36:50
Grant fund and what they're working and they are working with the governor's staff on that. So talk to a little bit about that. I 01:36:53
also talked to her about the water issues, the fact that she's trying to establish Arizona water policy. 01:37:01
In the state and that, you know, as a rural county, we are very much focused on water. 01:37:09
And where that's going to go Also I discussed our youth program to them as well and the way it's been going for the last several 01:37:14
years. 01:37:19
And mentioned that they had any anything they had in mind to help us by which. 01:37:25
Those were kind of three also in DC on Naco. Besides what? 01:37:31
Manager is talking about. I'm on the Public Lands Committee. 01:37:38
National. 01:37:42
To nickel and so our meetings are on Saturdays usually all day on that and that's that has to deal with a lot of different policy 01:37:43
and things like that from state to state and so it's a really good. 01:37:50
Good, good meeting to be on. So that clarify that thank you supervisor so. 01:37:58
A hash knife went through Payson last Wednesday, went to the dinner that evening for them. They very much appreciated he, the 01:38:04
county and what we have done to support that. And if you look at my Facebook page, you can see they gave us one of those posters 01:38:10
that they produce every year. So that's a special thing. 01:38:17
And also on the Legislative Policy Committee, there's over 1500 bills now that have gone. 01:38:25
Circulating around. Some of them are in committee, some of them are not. That's just an enormous amount. There's two bills, the 01:38:34
Senate Bill 1733 and House Bill 2785, very similar, talking about the potential automatic recount discussion. 01:38:43
Extending dates and deadlines so that. 01:38:52
If we did start doing an automatic recount of any sort, there would be time for that. I don't know if that will pass. 01:38:57
Because of the political. 01:39:05
Groundwater, like you mentioned, is a. 01:39:08
Concerning topic. 01:39:12
As the governor hints at potentially doing something through executive action, I really would rather see that go through the 01:39:15
legislature. 01:39:19
But I haven't seen a solution I really was fond of anyway. 01:39:24
We're going to be meeting with Senator Kelly. 01:39:29
Assistant Taylor and we're currently scheduling that right now and that'll be a discussion regarding the Fossil Creek recreation 01:39:36
area. 01:39:41
And so that's pretty much all I have right now. So if there's nothing else, yes. 01:39:47
Yes, I'm sorry. I should have written written these down. Sorry, be better. 01:39:53
Representative Crane is having staff come here. 01:39:58
North and South to have office time in the in the county and that's like once a month. 01:40:02
I don't really know what the details of when it's going to be, but Representative Crane is having representation here in the 01:40:10
county. 01:40:13
Trying to let the public know that that is taking place. 01:40:16
Perfect. Thank you. Is there anything else from? 01:40:21
Anybody here so? 01:40:25
Well, that brings us to. 01:40:27
Somewhere item. 01:40:33
And it's an executive session. 01:40:37
So item 8A is information discussion action to vote to go into executive session under Arizona Revised statute 38-431 point 03A3 01:40:39
for legal advice regarding Below the rim needery and I will call for a motion to do just that. Some movement. 01:40:49
2nd that a motion to and 2nd to go into executive session. All those in favor say aye aye. Thank you. 01:41:00
Let me know when you're ready, Samantha. 01:41:18
Thank you. I'd like to call this meeting back to order and ask for a motion. 01:41:40
To instruct. 01:41:45
To proceed as directed. 01:41:48
So moved. 01:41:52
I'll second that all those in favor say aye. 01:41:55
OK. A correction on the motion that it would be the County Attorney. 01:42:02
As part. 01:42:09
To proceed as directed. 01:42:11
Can I get a second on? 01:42:13
Or second, OK, Motion second, all those approved say aye, aye. 01:42:15
Thank you. 01:42:22

It is Tuesday, February 6th at 10:00 AM. 00:00:15
In the year 2024, if you've been traveling through. 00:00:21
And I'd like to ask James if he would lead us in the pledge. If you don't stand, please. 00:00:26
United States of America. 00:00:34
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:39
And Nick Montague. 00:00:48
For our prayer. 00:00:50
Dear Heavenly Father, we are thankful for this day and we are thankful for the Board of Supervisors that they are able to meet and 00:00:56
hear information and to help decide what is best for the county. And please give them my spirit. 00:01:01
Inspire them that they will know what is best to do for us, and we say these things in the name. Jesus Christ, damn it. 00:01:07
Thank you. 00:01:13
OK. We have a bit of a schedule today, so we'll get started right away. We have a couple presentations. 00:01:20
Item 2A is a presentation of Gila County General Fund financial data as it compares to the fiscal year 2024 Gila County budget and 00:01:27
the fiscal years 23/22/21 and 20 year to date performance. 00:01:34
And is mar. 00:01:41
That's an entrance. 00:01:49
Very nice. 00:01:53
Sorry. 00:01:55
No, don't be sorry that. 00:01:57
We should, we should make that a standard deal that was better than my last one, where I jumped up too early, right? 00:01:59
OK. We look forward to your presentation. 00:02:06
Good morning, Mr. Chair, Supervisor, Klein, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:02:09
We just have our update through the end of December for you today. 00:02:13
As standard with this chart, the blue line on the left shows 100% of the budget. 00:02:18
And then the green line. 00:02:26
That which is the third one in. 00:02:28
Shows where we should be at six months, which is 50%. 00:02:31
And then your red line shows where you are for 2024. 00:02:35
The other lines show where you were in 20/21/22 and 23. 00:02:39
As you can see. 00:02:46
We are. 00:02:49
47% year to date expenses for salaries and ER. 00:02:51
30% for operating expenses. 00:02:56
And when we add in encumbrances. 00:02:59
It's not the reason. ERE is an operating expenses. We are at 48.7% of the budget year to date compared to a 50% target. 00:03:01
Revenue is at 46. 00:03:10
And is 2 1/2 million more than the same time last year? 00:03:14
If we hadn't gotten. 00:03:19
Grant from the state Department of Veterans Services Year to date, revenues would be about 500,000 less than they were a year ago, 00:03:22
and that's just due to the timing of the state shared sales tax. 00:03:27
And the annual York circuit breaker funding, which we have not received yet, but in the past two years we've received in November. 00:03:34
Any questions? Thank you. Marin Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions. Thank you. 00:03:42
Thank you. Supervisor. Client. I'm good too, man. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I'm fine. Thank you for your presentation. We'll be 00:03:48
back in a month. OK. 00:03:52
Our second presentation. 00:03:59
To be public recognition of six employees through the county Spotlight on Employees program as follows Nicole Archibald, Thor 00:04:01
Knudsen, Laurie Lombardo, Wendy Boyce, Randy. 00:04:08
Worsler and. 00:04:16
GAIL, I hope, my God. Thank you Erica. Thank you. Good morning, chair, members of the board, again, thank you for letting us be 00:04:19
here today. 00:04:23
As mentioned, we do have six employees that were nominated. 00:04:28
We do have four of them up in pace in today as well. 00:04:33
But First off, what we're going to recogn? 00:04:36
Is Nicole Archibald her Spotlight nomination? 00:04:40
The recent accomplishment that Marisa's death spotlight is the partnership Nikki arranged with Borderlands. 00:04:44
Produce Rescue in Mogalis based organization that works closely with the. 00:04:50
Fresh produce track trucking industry to divert surplus veggies, fruits and produce from landfills, preventing food waste and 00:04:55
distributing. 00:04:59
Healthy, fresh food to communities around Arizona. Nikki read about Borderlands Produce Rescue made contact and arrange for a 00:05:03
truckload of healthy veggies, fruits and produce delivery to Globe on November 15th. 00:05:09
Once the deal was segmented, Nikki also coordinated a social media campaign, announcing this first truckload and corralling 00:05:15
pre-order sign ups. Then, a few days, Facebook posts were shared more than 100 times. 00:05:21
And generated dozens of comments and likes, which amplified the reach of the campaign recruiting signups. 00:05:27
So Nikki is employed with Health Community Services, and she's been employed with the county almost 6 1/2 years. And sneaky, I 00:05:34
don't know if you want to come up. 00:05:38
If you'd like to say anything. 00:05:47
Thank you. It's a really fun program. So thank you, thank you. 00:05:51
Next we have Thor Nutson, His nomination red. 00:06:00
We want to thank Sergeant Medicine for rescuing us at the end of the Lake Pass schoolhouse landing and pulling us in our boat back 00:06:04
to Indian Point. 00:06:07
Seeing those blue lights, what Where our saving grace, Sergeant Nutson, went above and beyond what we ever expected, making sure 00:06:12
that our boat and ourselves were safe the entire time. 00:06:16
When we finally got back to Indian Point about 3 hours later, he made sure that we were off the boat and safe Before he left he 00:06:21
also. 00:06:24
He was told initially that my phone pinged off a tower when I had calls 911, but he had called dispatch and found that I had said 00:06:28
we had passed the schoolhouse landing. So he searched for us there and found us. 00:06:33
We were so thankful that he went above and beyond. Thank you so much, Sergeant Knudsen. We appreciate you so very much. 00:06:39
This was an e-mail from a member of the public affairs Thor has been with the Sheriff's Office. 00:06:46
For almost 16 years. 00:06:52
Come on. 00:06:56
Thank you. 00:07:00
Thank you, Board of Supervisors in Gila County for keeping lake patrol. 00:07:04
And letting us buy the gear we need and keeping us funded. 00:07:08
Thank you for your service. 00:07:13
Next, we have a group nomination. 00:07:19
For our Public Works staff, Laurie, Wendy, Randy and Daniel. 00:07:22
Their Spotlight nomination. I want to take a moment and rightfully to recognize these four employees for their Teamwork, customer 00:07:27
service, Initiative, and integrity. 00:07:31
Upon driving out to the Buckhead Buckhead Mesa landfill in a drizzly, wet, cold day right before Christmas, it was observed that 00:07:36
this team was working together and even working outside. 00:07:41
When I approached the landfill, not only were these team members working out in the cold, but I was also greeted in a friendly and 00:07:46
welcoming way. 00:07:50
This team could have decided that since no one was coming to the landfill and since it was too cold to be outside. 00:07:54
You could just stay in the office until they had to do something, but they did not. 00:08:00
This team exemplifies the type of quality employees we should all strive to be, and I'm proud to call them teammates and Gila 00:08:04
County employees. 00:08:07
And this was recognized by Supervisor Christensen. 00:08:11
So first up we have Lori, who has been employed with the county five months and Laurie down in. 00:08:15
David from that. 00:08:22
And Lori, I don't know if you want to say anything. 00:08:25
I don't know what to say. I say thank you very much. I enjoy working at the landfill and we do work hard. 00:08:30
Thank you. Thank you. 00:08:40
Thank you, Laurie. Yeah, thank you. 00:08:43
Next we have Wendy Boyce, who's been with the county a little over two months. 00:08:49
Wendy. 00:08:54
And Wendy, if you'd like to say anything. 00:09:03
I just want to say thank. 00:09:07
Hiring me on, I mean, I'm relatively new, but we do have a good team and family out there and that's appreciated. Thank you. Thank 00:09:10
you. 00:09:14
Randy Worsler has been with the county for five months. Randy. 00:09:24
And if you want to say anything, Randy, if not, that's fine too. 00:09:39
It's really hard to hear you guys. 00:09:43
Would you like to say anything? 00:09:47
Oh, sure. 00:09:49
Yeah, So far it's been a pleasure working out there. We have a really good team. 00:09:52
We have fun together and. 00:09:57
OK. It's a pleasure. I'm glad. 00:09:59
Make some people happy. Try to make everybody happy. 00:10:02
Thank you. 00:10:05
And next we have Daniel Dale, who's been with the county over 5 1/2 years. Daniel. 00:10:10
Thank you. 00:10:24
Great. Thank you. 00:10:25
And of course, that does conclude this month. Nomination. 00:10:30
Thank you, Erica. 00:10:34
Thank you. Have a good day. 00:10:36
OK, so let's go to item 3, which is our public hearing, Section 3. 00:10:40
Information Discussion Action to Adopt Ordinance #2024-01, which authorizes an amendment to the Gila County Zoning Map for 00:10:44
unincorporated areas of Gila County. 00:10:50
Arizona by changing the zoning for assessors Parcel #205-03-0108 described as Parcel 1. 00:10:56
A record of survey number 5730 Globe, AZ to Industrial. 00:11:07
M3 District Rand. 00:11:14
Morning Chairman, Supervisors. So this is the. 00:11:17
That Tri. 00:11:21
Sanitation is wanting to put their. 00:11:23
This is off the 188. 00:11:28
They're seeking to change it from the TRD to T to the M3, which would allow for that use. 00:11:31
Currently around that parcel there is some C3, some other. 00:11:39
D2 T's an R1. 00:11:45
M3C3 and another TR. So it just depends on which way to go. 00:11:48
All the notifications were sent out as the fire through zoning. 00:11:54
And we have received no comments back for or against. 00:11:59
Legal ads were sent out on 116 or 24. 00:12:05
And 117 of 20. 00:12:09
And umm. 00:12:12
Staff recommends approval for this. 00:12:15
I know you guys have heard a lot about Tri-City. I know there's a couple representatives here that want to talk, so I'll open that 00:12:17
up for them. 00:12:21
OK. Thank. 00:12:26
So who do we have from Tri-City? 00:12:28
Good morning, supervisors. My name is Mike Krebs. I'm the engineer for Tri-City. 00:12:37
Also, Robert Jacques, who's a President of the Board, is here with us today also. 00:12:42
We appreciate this opportunity and. 00:12:49
We're getting through the project and it seems like it's one step at a time, but. 00:12:54
We're making progress, so hope you could go to the next slide. OK, so. 00:12:59
What I wanted to do here was just kind of give you a little quick overview of how we got to this site and then. 00:13:05
Also we. 00:13:13
A video of kind of a fly over that we put together might help. 00:13:15
See what it would look like when we get get the package. 00:13:20
So and we had a site in 2018 when we submitted the preliminary engineering report to US. 00:13:25
And that was in 2018 and 2019. 00:13:33
BHP came to us and said that tailings dam, we need to do a bunch of work on it, so you can't have that site because we were just 00:13:38
at the top. 00:13:43
Pretty close to the toe of that. 00:13:47
That set us to search for another site. We looked at a number of different ones, and and. 00:13:50
Really kind of at the last moment this site became available and it's a little hard to see on the drawings, but it's at the very 00:13:57
North End. 00:14:01
You can see it may be better on this one, the Green square. 00:14:05
Up at the top with the blue above the district. 00:14:09
And it'll be brought into the district, brought into the DM. 00:14:12
And. 00:14:17
It'll it'll make phase three a little bit easier with costs and things like that because of. 00:14:19
Because of the location. 00:14:24
So thanks. 00:14:26
So here's a little better view of the site. It is ordered. It's in that big curve. 00:14:29
As you as you go and you Bixby, Rd. is on the right and then you cross the tracks and so it's ordered on the east by State Route 00:14:35
188. 00:14:40
And on the West by the railroad, Arizona. 00:14:46
And then the Cattlemen's association is just on the West side of that, which is an M3. 00:14:51
Site. And so the sites 8 acres. 00:14:57
It's a portion of, it's outside of the floodplain and we actually just recently we've been working with your staff to get the. 00:15:04
Use permits, floodplain use permit, and we received that just last week. 00:15:14
So, you know, let's go and then that's going in the right direction. 00:15:18
And so then we're just trying to get the the county zoning. 00:15:22
Two and M3 that will match what the Cattlemen's Association is. 00:15:28
And then? And then what's? The other nice thing about it is it's good access. It's all downhill from the project. 00:15:33
And there's power, communications and. 00:15:41
Pretty much. 00:15:44
So, and I don't know if there's any questions as I'm going through this. 00:15:46
Please. 00:15:51
Let's let's talk. 00:15:53
If not, I'll I think the next is. 00:15:55
Video if you could start. 00:15:58
OK. So it's as if you're on 188 traveling N is the way that it's set up? 00:16:07
What you see on the left there, What the tanks could represent? 00:16:14
And and I, you know, I think there's a lot more vegetation in there than what we're showing. 00:16:18
We just kind of restricted with that because it makes the file sass so big. 00:16:24
But again, you're traveling on 188 heading north towards the railroad Bixby Rd. 00:16:29
Wheat fields. 00:16:36
So I think it pretty much speaks for itself. 00:16:40
See the? 00:16:45
And I actually believe that they'll end up being a little bit lower than what we're showing on the on the site there. And there's 00:16:50
a big Ridge right there on the edge. 00:16:54
Of the north part of the parcel. 00:16:58
That's just to give you an idea of, you know, what it could look like as as you're driving along. 00:17:04
188. 00:17:10
That's pretty much all I have for our presentation. 00:17:12
I don't know if there's open to questions or anything. 00:17:16
Thank you, Mr. Craig Cribs. 00:17:19
Supervisor Humphrey I have no questions. I've kind of been following this for the seven years that I've been a supervisor. 00:17:21
And and I think it's a great thing that they now have this. 00:17:28
So that they can finish their engineering and and perhaps get started on phase one. 00:17:35
To help us with infrastructure between Globe and Miami as well as helping protect our water tables and things of that nature. So I 00:17:42
I'm, I'm very happy to see. 00:17:48
It getting done and. 00:17:55
State obtaining proper. 00:17:59
And so that's all I have. 00:18:02
OK. Thank you, supervisor. 00:18:06
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I really don't have any questions. I think it's it's a good, good site you know and like you said it's 00:18:08
downhill from everywhere so so that's going to help you. 00:18:13
Good luck. Absolutely, absolutely. Thank you. I have no question. So at this time open it up. 00:18:18
To the public. Is that the appropriate time, Randy? Did you have more to present? 00:18:25
OK. All right. I'll open it up to the public. Is there anyone here in Globe that wishes to speak to this item? 00:18:30
I see no one. And how about Payson? 00:18:37
OK. And YouTube, nobody's on there. OK. All right. So I'll close the public hearing portion. 00:18:41
And we'll entertain a motion. 00:18:51
Mr. Chair, I happen to move to adopt Ordinance #2024-01, and I'll second that motion and a second approve all those in favor. Say 00:18:53
aye, aye, aye. 00:18:59
Unanimous. Thank you, Randy. And we'll go to Item 3, Information Discussion action to adopt Ordinance #2024-02, which authorizes 00:19:05
an amendment. 00:19:11
After the Gila County zoning map for unincorporated areas. 00:19:17
By changing the zoning. 00:19:22
I just wanted to say thank you to to yourselves and to the county. There's your staff and everyone. 00:19:26
Has been. 00:19:31
Helping us get through this project. 00:19:33
It's not possible without your all support and. 00:19:36
And it's the old adage that takes a village. So thank you. I appreciate that those comments and I and I would concur that we have 00:19:40
a great staff and and it's really helpful to hear that you have that same impression. 00:19:47
So thank you and good luck. 00:19:54
OK, I'll start with 3B again. We're going to be talking about information, discussion and action to adopt an ordinance #2024-02, 00:19:56
which authorizes an amendment to the Hill County zoning map for unincorporated areas in Heel County, Arizona by changing the 00:20:03
zoning of assessors parcel #301-69 Dash. 00:20:10
193 be located at 4421 N Highway 87. That's in Pine, AZ, the residential one district density 35-R1-D35. 00:20:18
OK, Randy, so we're basically talking that whole upper left triangle. 00:20:31
Currently. 00:20:39
The owner, David Lofano, owns all of that. 00:20:42
And if you'll notice, currently the far left corner is the R1D35, the rest is C2. 00:20:46
Basically, he's so it's already dual. 00:20:55
Basically, he's lessening the C2 use and opening up the R1 use. He wants to build this house on this property. 00:20:59
He's been using this property for bow tie roofing. 00:21:07
In his words, he's slowing down and and doing less work so he doesn't need the room. 00:21:13
The roofing company as much that he really likes the parcel and he wants to. 00:21:21
Build this dream home. On this he will have a from the upper right hand corner. He'll have a driveway easement. 00:21:26
Going. 00:21:35
But the red area he's opening, he's wanting to make that all R1D35 area and just have the C2 on the right hand side. 00:21:36
Around him currently is national fore. 00:21:48
And there's are there areas that are R1D35? There's one area to the east, it's R1L. 00:21:53
10 And then to the West is R1D35. 00:22:02
He's been through the process. 00:22:07
We've notified all. 00:22:09
Citizens in the area, there was no comments for or against this project. 00:22:12
The board met and gave unanimous approval for. 00:22:19

Service Agency and that provides adult education to all of Hila County. Good. Thank you for saying that because I know there's 00:27:17
people that don't understand that and don't understand that this money does go to help fund that as well. So. 00:27:23

Great. And I and I, I don't know the two people, but I really appreciate everyone that's a member of the public that volunteers 00:29:10

Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment #10 to an intergovernmental agreement. It is contract #DI20-0022 SIX Three 00:29:54
between the Arizona Department of Economic Security and Gila County Community Services Department to add the itemized service 00:30:02
budget in the amount of $463,780.93 for a period. 00:30:10
Of July 1st, 2023 through June 30, 2024, of which the funds will be used as rent and utility assistance and we have Joshua. 00:30:19
Back Chairman Christensen members aboard. So this funding is primarily it's kind of split with our Temporary Assistance for Needy 00:30:30
Families money. It pays for our person in the North and in the South and facing the globe that administer these programs and 00:30:37
administers the funds for the housing assistance based on meeting income qualifications. 00:30:44
We do have numerous vendors that help us out with some of these programs. 00:30:52
Fair If Supervisor Humphrey would like to get into those today, we can get them this item further item if you want to know the 00:30:57
list I did compared with everything we would need for those items, or if you would like to, we can present that in a work session. 00:31:03
And discuss them there. But as far as this item, pretty straightforward. Like I said, it's two people, their salaries and directs 00:31:10
phones. 00:31:13
Office space North and South and then the ability to provide these programs for. 00:31:17
Thank you Joshua supervisor. Hopefully, hopefully. 00:31:22
Yeah. Maybe a work session at some point would be would be a great thing. We have a long agenda today and so it's a great program. 00:31:25
I'd just like to understand. 00:31:30
And so I other than that, I have no question. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you, Josh and I'm good as well. I'll 00:31:35
call for a motion as chair. I move to approve Amendment #10 to the Arizona Department of Economic Security. 00:31:42
Intergovernmental agreement contract number B. 00:31:49
I 200022. 00:31:53
63 as presented. 00:31:56
And I'll second that Mr. Chair second to approve all those in favor. Say aye, Aye. 00:32:00
Thank you, Joshua. Item 4 E information discussion action to approve the submission of a site investment project application to 00:32:06
Freeport Mcmoran in the amount of $9500 for the period of March 1st, 2024 to March 1st, 2025 to provide additional oral healthcare 00:32:14
to underserved Gila County elementary students. 00:32:22
I'm sure you have. 00:32:30
Well, I brought Trish up here, OK? She is our wonderful skill from the Sheriff's Department. 00:32:32
So we've come up with this oil health program. It's working wonderfully, but most of the money that we get from the Arizona 00:33:10
Department Health Services pays for one person. And we've done a great job of getting into the schools. Last year, if you 00:33:14
remember, we had a Delta dental contract and one of the great things about getting that extra money was it allows Trish when she 00:33:19
goes into the schools. 00:33:24
To actually assist, students aren't just in that small category of what there's an apartment. Health Services, which is usually 00:33:29
access, allows us to work with. 00:33:33
Now that Delta Dental contract has gone away, so we're kind of swimming to try to find other small funding sources. 00:33:38
So that the good thing is, is we already have the, you know, the foundation and everything in place and we're already going to the 00:33:44
school. So it's not a lot of money that we need, but we're trying to reach out to a bunch of different in any institutions we can 00:33:49
to find extra money. Because when we're in a school, you know, it's a shame to turn away those children that need help as well 00:33:54
that aren't accessed but maybe don't necessarily have insurance or something. 00:33:59
I don't know if Trish wants to spend on any of that, but that's kind of where we're at. So you might see this application a few 00:34:05
more because we're trying to do our best to fill those gaps to make sure that she can get to his many students as she can. 00:34:10
Good morning. Yes, this would enable us to provide services for the children who do not qualify under our Cavity Free Arizona. 00:34:18
They actually only provide services for kindergarten, 2nd grade and 6th grade. 00:34:27
They go by kind of the standards of when permanent teeth erupt the molars. 00:34:32
But kids are so different. We've seen children in kindergarten who need sea Lance. We've seen first graders. 00:34:38
We see some children who do not you rub their teeth until 3rd or 4th grade, so that is where this program comes in. It has been 00:34:44
extremely successful and helpful. 00:34:50
Mainly being that we only have one access provider and all of Gila County. 00:34:56
And it is in northern Gila County and they do not accept all the plans. So going into the schools, a lot of these children that we 00:35:01
have seen have never been to a dentist. 00:35:05
And we've placed a lot of. 00:35:11
Fluoride varnish screenings. We do screening, so if we see an emergency we're able to. 00:35:14
Refer their parents to a dentist. So it's just been a great program all around and we hope to grow it. 00:35:20
Thank you. Thank you, Chris. 00:35:27
Supervisor Hope. 00:35:30
You know, thank you for all you do because it's a great program and anything we can do to help. 00:35:32
Help. 00:35:37
Have a better start. I think it's a great thing so. 00:35:38
Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So gosh, and Fish is. 00:35:42
With $9500 like. 00:35:49
How many kids is that going to help you cover? 00:35:51
We are planning on 750 children. 00:35:54
It's not always sealant, which obviously takes more time and money, but a screening fluoride varnish? 00:35:59
We have been. 00:36:07
Pretty much every school in Gila County with the exception of Pine. 00:36:09
And continually. 00:36:13
Growing the program. 00:36:17
Since I first started, we hired a dental program specialist. 00:36:19
Who has? She's just creative and passionate. 00:36:23
