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
|
|

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

Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment #10 to an intergovernmental agreement. It is contract #DI20-0022 SIX Three
|

|
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

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

00:50:47
|
|
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

|
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.

|
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.

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

|
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.

|
01:17:13
|
|
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
|
|
