| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| Great. Thank you. | 00:10:25 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. Have a motion in a second to approve the appointments. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. | 00:29:41 | |
| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
