Of the United States, of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and 00:00:15
justice for all. 00:00:22
Bear with me please. 00:00:34
Dear God, we are grateful to be in your presence today and to know that the businesses that are being conducted, the decisions 00:00:36
that are being made. 00:00:40
The choices that are being made are being made in your presence and with your awareness in a country that seeks at least at its 00:00:44
best. 00:00:48
To follow your will and to do what is best for its citizens. 00:00:52
Got at this time, we are mindful of this week, this coming anniversary of the beginning of the end of one of the last great wars 00:00:57
and conflicts in our world's history. 00:01:02
And we know that that history is one of violence and one of chaos. And even now we see many conflicts taking place in our world, 00:01:08
in our nation, even in our communities. Not just battles and wars, but also conflicts of ideology and character. 00:01:16
And God, at this time, we pray that even here on this local level that you would promote peace among us and promote wisdom and 00:01:25
good decision making so that those who lead us here in this community could be guided in doing what is best for the people. 00:01:32
Best for our society and best in your sight as well. We ask you to bless the, the, the decision making here today, the 00:01:40
deliberations here today. We pray that those would be done in a way that would bring honor to the people participating. That would 00:01:47
they would be done in a way that reveals the truth of what is needed and what is not needed. And that they would be done in a way 00:01:54
that ultimately is to the betterment of our community. 00:02:01
Bless the hands and the minds and the words of the the speakers here, of the Board of Supervisors, of the guests that are here to 00:02:09
speak and give them wisdom to do what's right and to seek what's right. Bless us all, Lord, as we seek to be your children, as we 00:02:16
seek to be carrying out your will, and as we seek to do what is best in this community. We pray these things in Jesus name and 00:02:23
then Amen. 00:02:30
Thank you. 00:02:38
Well, if it's not terribly always, I'm calling the meeting to order. I forgot to do that first. We got it. I think we're already 00:02:41
there so. 00:02:45
It's Tuesday, June 4th, 10:00 AM and so we'll call this meeting to order and we're going to start with a presentation. Item 2A, 00:02:50
Erica Raymond has a presentation of public recognition of six employees through the County Spotlight on Employees program as 00:02:58
follows, Estelle Velarde, Eric Mearskal, Alfonso Alvarez, and Crystal Singleton. 00:03:06
Stephanie Johnson and Taylor Cummings. Good morning, Erica. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Members of the board, thank you so much for 00:03:15
allowing us to be here today. 00:03:20
That's you. As mentioned, we do have six employees that will be nominating today. First and foremost, we have Estelle Velardi, her 00:03:26
Spotlight nomination read. I'm happy to nominate Estelle for the Spotlight Award for her exceptional dedication and commitment to 00:03:32
providing unparalleled community service. 00:03:38
Her dedication extends beyond our community to compass our partners and vendors. Her unwavering commitment to serving the low 00:03:45
income, seniors, veterans and the needy should serve as an inspiration for all. Her dedication to serving the community 00:03:52
demonstrates the power of kindness and service, embodying the values we strive to uphold. This was committed by Stella Gore. 00:04:00
Estelle has been with Public Health and Community Services for almost 21 years. 00:04:07
Up next, we have a group nomination for our election staff. 00:04:30
The nomination read. When the Arizona Republican Party held their conference in Scottsdale last January, County Elections 00:04:36
Department Director Eric Mariscal and his staff were specifically requested to oversee the party's own internal election of 00:04:43
officers. In late April, the state party convened to elect party delegates to represent Arizona at the National Convention and 00:04:50
again in terms of the Healer County Elections Department to assure an accurate, efficient and error free tally of votes. 00:04:58
Graciously agreeing to oversee state party elections does mean a long Saturday with travel to and from the Valley for Elections 00:05:05
Department, Eric and his staff, Alfonso and Crystal. And it's a credit to Heal County that our elections team is held in such a 00:05:14
steam and asked to run a scrutinized partisan election in our state's most populous county. They have a proven track record for 00:05:22
this. Eric and his team oversaw the Arizona Republic Republican Party conference votes in 2020 and 2022 as well. 00:05:30
These past few months have been busy processing 11,191 ballots during the Presidential preference election last March, followed by 00:05:39
the state party elections. He might be surprised to learn about a few other vote tallies where this team is specifically requested 00:05:47
for their accuracy for the Globe High School vote, for student council and even King and Queen of the annual prom programming, the 00:05:54
ballot for Arizona's annual Girls state convention, and in between running local school board. 00:06:02
Local school bond overrides special elections and higher profile statewide tallies. 00:06:11
Director Mariscal and his team are constantly recruiting and training poll workers, conducting logic and accuracy tests with the 00:06:17
Arizona State of Secretary of State's office and answering an array of public records request. For these reasons and more, Healing 00:06:23
County applause our Elections Department Director Eric Mariscal, Alfonso Alvarez and Crystal Singleton with a well earned and 400 00:06:29
Watt staff spotlight. This was submitted by Paul Walterbeck. 00:06:36
So Eric has been with Heala County for over 16 1/2 years. Eric. 00:06:43
I'll keep it short. You guys got a long ways to go, but thank you very much. It's a great honor and I've got a good staff and we 00:06:59
always try to do the best that we can for the citizens and for the county. Thank you. Thank you very much. 00:07:04
Alfonso Alvarez, who's been with the county over 12 1/2 years and was unable to make it today, but we'll be sure he gets his gift 00:07:14
card. 00:07:18
Crystal Singleton, who's been with the county a little over four months. Crystal. 00:07:23
Thank you. 00:07:35
Next, we have a nomination for both Stephanie Johnson and Taylor Cummings. 00:07:43
There's spotlight red, so Stephanie and Taylor have stayed late to get the office caught up on work. Their dedication is greatly 00:07:48
appreciated, especially in our busy season as we gear up for the 2024 election cycle. 00:07:53
Stephanie Johnson is with the reporter's office and has been with the county a little over 4 1/2 years. Stephanie. 00:08:00
And if you'd like to say anything. 00:08:14
And next we have Taylor Cummings, who's been with the Recorders office 2 1/2 years. Taylor. 00:08:23
And. 00:08:42
Conclude our spotlight. Thank you, Erica. Any comments, Supervisor Humphrey? Yeah, just thank you very, very much. I appreciate 00:08:43
all that you do for us. And you know, there's a difference between having a job and doing that job and sometimes reaching a little 00:08:49
further. And so I appreciate that very much that you you take that extra time to be helpful to our constituents. So I appreciate 00:08:55
it very much. 00:09:01
Thank you supervisor client, same goes to for me and I appreciate you guys and really really want to thank you for all you do. 00:09:09
Thanks. And Erica, when are you gonna get your spotlight? Because I think you're the one that puts them all on, but you never get 00:09:17
one. I'm happy to do this again. 00:09:21
It's such a great honor to spotlight the amazing stuff that we have here at We Do. Thank you all for letting us do. 00:09:26
Thank you, Erica, and thank you for all those in the spotlight today. And we do have an amazing staff. And I'll just make one 00:09:32
comment to Crystal. Crystal, thanks for sticking with it coming in four months ago in an election cycle and she's still here. 00:09:41
Congratulations. Thanks. All right, thank you. All right, let's move on now to Item 3A regular agenda. 00:09:49
Information discussion Action to approve an IGA between the Phoenix Police Department and the Gila County Sheriff's Office, 00:09:59
whereby the Gila County Sheriff's Office, acting as an affiliate agency, will continue to assist the Arizona Internet Crimes 00:10:06
Against Children Task Force for a period of five years after the IGA becomes effective under Sheriff Newman. Welcome. Good 00:10:13
morning, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, it's the intergovernment agreement between US and Phoenix Police Department there the lead 00:10:19
agency in our effort to combat. 00:10:26
Internet child *********** and we started this in 2020. That was when we first signed a three-year agreement with those folks. 00:10:33
It's funded through grant from the Attorney General's office and that's where the funding for this comes from. The Internet knows 00:10:41
no borders. So this is our opportunity and this is an essential agreement to be able to work beyond those and and have the 00:10:49
collaborative effort with other agencies that have the same mission to combat. 00:10:57
The Internet *********** that's so rapid. So this doesn't cost us anything. It's grant funded. It does pay for equipment and 00:11:05
training. So it's the Sheriff's Office recommendation that we sign this agreement. And as you had mentioned, it'll be for five 00:11:11
years. 00:11:16
I'm ready for questions. OK, Supervisor, hopefully I have no questions. Yes, Supervisor, client, just thank you, Dennis and 00:11:23
Sheriff for doing this that that's a good deal to keep going with. So thank you. Yeah, thank you. Is this a problem that's growing 00:11:28
or? 00:11:33
I don't see an end, so whether it's growing or not, it never goes away. 00:11:39
It never goes away. I see a lot of other things that, you know, in the 40 years I've been a cop, I see over and over just the 00:11:45
faces change. Yeah, OK. 00:11:49
All right. Well, I'll call for motion. 00:11:55
Mr. I move to approve an anecdotal agreement with the Phoenix Police Department as presented. 00:11:59
And Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion to approve those in favor say aye, aye, thank you. And item 3B, information, 00:12:05
discussion, action to authorize the Hilo County School Superintendent to sign a memorandum of understanding that is between the 00:12:13
Hilah County Education Service Agency and the Healer County Library District, which collaborates a partnership to provide 00:12:20
educational resources to the adults of Helena County to earn a GED slash HSE. And we have. 00:12:28
Mr. Montague. 00:12:36
Yes, very couldn't make it so he has a letter he wants me to read you guys. 00:12:38
But the process to maintain those sites would be cost prohibitive. Nonetheless, we feel that offering distance learning 00:13:46
instructive services that do not require extensive travel is a big step to forward for rural residents. Thank you and Elaine 00:13:52
Gortuba of the Hilo County Library District for supporting our expansion efforts to provide GED slash HSC opportunities to all 00:13:58
Hilo County residents who desire a high school employment. 00:14:03
OK. Thank you. Elaine, did you have anything you wanted to add to that? This is sort of your item too, right? 00:14:10
Partly. 00:14:18
We're just happy that they reached out because this is one of the things that libraries do and we provide the space for that and 00:14:21
especially in the areas that we're talking about initially. So it's Hayden Young, Miami and. 00:14:27
Miami. 00:14:36
And we're working on some of the others on a basin and pine as well, so that our, our community, they don't have to go very far to 00:14:38
do this testing. And we really, you know, higher education is a must. 00:14:43
A must for our students and our inner community. So we're very, very happy to cooperate and work with the school district. OK, 00:14:49
Thank you, Supervisor Huntly. I have no questions other than thank you for making it possible for people, too, to get their 00:14:55
education. 00:15:01
By the client. Yeah. The more we make it available and help folks with this, the better off we're going to be. And And thank you 00:15:08
both and Roy too for doing all this. Appreciate it. Thank you. Happy to support it. I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair. I'll make the 00:15:14
motion to authorize the Helic County School Superintendent to sign a memorandum of understanding that is between the Healer County 00:15:20
Education Service Agency and the Healer County Library District. Desperate. 00:15:27
Mr. Chair, I'll second that a motion and a second to approve Those in favor say aye, aye, thank you very much. Item 3C, 00:15:34
Information discretion, action to adopt. Resolution #24-06-02 accepting amendments to the agreement of declaration of Trust. 00:15:42
Of the Arizona Local government employee benefit Trust to extend the agreement and declaration of trust to July 1, 2044 and remove 00:15:51
language regarding the location of the principal office. Good morning James good morning Mr. Chairman, this is our Arizona local 00:15:58
government employee benefit trust, our health insurance trust that includes six of the smallest counties in Arizona that we are in 00:16:05
a trust that. 00:16:12
Provides our health insurance for our employees. It's been very good. 00:16:21
The ones that our forefathers that entered into this were very wise and it's been a very good. 00:16:25
Vehicle to get affordable health insurance for our employees. 00:16:33
This we're in 2020 year increments here for the trust to exist concludes on June 30th of this year. This act by the resolution 00:16:38
today at Oxford resolution today extends our health insurance trust for another 20 years to July 1st 2044. There's also one other 00:16:47
small thing that the health insurance trust did have an office at the County Supervisors Association building. Since then the. 00:16:57
Aaron Collins and associates. 00:17:08
For. 00:17:10
Various reasons. Eric Collins sold the business to Gallagher and Gallagher is now a parent company and no longer has that office 00:17:12
at the CSA building. And so the language that's been changed here is that it's a, a generic wherever the office may be not 00:17:19
required to be in our bylaws in our planned documents to have a specific address. 00:17:27
So as to change is to extend the term of this our participation to 2044 and the elimination of the specific address are what is 00:17:35
specified by changes in this resolution today. 00:17:41
I'm ready for any questions you might have. OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:17:49
Yes. James, do you have any, do you foresee any issues with removing the the language on the location for the principal office? Do 00:17:53
you see it creating any difficulties? I don't because it's with Gallagher. They're a national company that has specific addresses 00:18:01
and specific locations of doing business. They are specifically in Arizona and if they for whatever reason choose to move from 00:18:10
downtown Phoenix to Globe, AZ. 00:18:18
Well, welcoming well. 00:18:26
Yeah, thank you. You've gone Supervisor Klein. No, I'm good, James. Thanks. Yeah, I'm fine too. So with that, I'll call for 00:18:29
motion. Mr. I move to adopt resolution #24-O6-O2. And I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, 00:18:38
aye. Thank you, James. And Mr. Chair, if I may, we have a past supervisor here, Joe Sanchez, and I'd like to. 00:18:47
Say thank you for being here today and just to acknowledge him for being a past supervisor and. 00:18:56
Also being still very active in the community. Good. Thank you very much. Would you like to come up and say a few words? 00:19:02
He's a past supervisor. Just a few words. You better. 00:19:11
But really, yeah, it's a pleasure to be here. And I'm here with Phil Stewart, who's our new director at the Bullion Plaza Cultural 00:19:19
Center and Museum, and he'll be presenting to the board later. But. 00:19:25
I want to thank the board for all that you do for our community. You know, I'm working with several nonprofits, one being the 00:19:32
Clean the Cemeteries committee, and you folks have been just really super helpful. And as we speak, the members of the it's a 00:19:39
Forestry service group. 00:19:46
And along with the inmates from our local facility are cleaning up a couple of cemeteries, the Elks section and the Masonic 00:19:53
section, and we're making that place look like a a cemetery. It's been overlooked for so many years. So our committee is working 00:20:03
with folks like yourselves and we really appreciate the help from the county and appreciate I worked with your dad for many years. 00:20:13
Steve and I really respected and admired everything that he did along with Supervisor Salas and myself. So there again, thank you 00:20:23
for all that you do in supporting our our local nonprofits. Thank you, Joe, you bet. Any more comments? Thank you, Supervisor 00:20:29
Klein. 00:20:36
No, I'm good. It's good to see you today. Thanks for being here. Thank you for your gracious comments. Let's move on now to item 00:20:43
3D information, discussion, action to approve economic development agreement. 00:20:49
Number 05012024 with Boolean Plaza, Cultural Center and Museum incorporated in the amount of $10,000 that the Board is determined 00:20:56
to be for the benefit of the public. 00:21:02
Marin Belling presenting. Good morning. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, Supervisor Klein. Good morning, Supervisor 00:21:10
Humphrey. This morning we have Phil Stewart and apparently Joseph with us for from William Plaza to share with you their annual 00:21:17
report and tell you what it is they do with the funds that you provide them so that they can help our community serve itself 00:21:23
better. Mr. George Moore. 00:21:30
Good morning. Good morning all, and thank you, Mary. 00:21:39
So again Phil Stewart the the new Director and Board President William Plaza coming here to to ask you folks to continue your 00:21:43
support of our museum. As you can see by the 1st slide you you keep some very well company in in regards to stakeholders and. 00:21:52
Going through, we just have a quick look at our mission and vision statement. So we're, we're here to preserve and educate and 00:22:04
engage the community and to promote Gila County. 00:22:09
As you well know, Bullion Plaza is located on one of the gateways into Healer County from the Valley. And so it's it's Williams 00:22:15
Plaza intent to present a good view and to engage people as they come through and expound the history of the area. And then also 00:22:24
to further promote all the other activities and businesses and and points of interest in the county. 00:22:32
Deliverable. So what do we give to the community? Well, hey, we give them exhibitions and displays and knowledge. 00:22:44
Folks come in from all over the globe. To give you an example of that, just in the last three months, we've had people in from 00:22:50
Japan, we've had people in from Australia and we've had folks in from Spain. So it's amazing how the reach of this organization 00:22:59
and in turn Gila County gets out to the to the world as a whole. So this is one of the items that we deliver. 00:23:07
And then again, another one is, is our partnerships and collaborations. We're very, very, very proud of these. And one of the 00:23:17
biggest news items I can give you is recently we've had the privilege of of gaining on our Board of directors Doctor Richard 00:23:24
Ramos, who will be the Superintendent of Miami Unified School District 40. So Doctor Ramos joins our Board and fills in a very 00:23:31
important educational slot. 00:23:38
So now in addition to culture, mining, ranching, now we have an educational component. So now we're looking forward to developing 00:23:45
curriculum that would be relevant to K through 12 so we can engage more with all the school districts here in the county and 00:23:52
beyond. 00:23:58
So that's that's a huge a huge. 00:24:06
Asset for us. And of course we also have great relationships with Ober Valley Symphony Arts Healer County Historical Museum in the 00:24:09
Gold Miami Chamber of Commerce. 00:24:14
And again, some of our educational programs we our second Friday events which happened. 00:24:22
Ten months out of the year. So we take a break in July and August is a little hot. 00:24:30
And people are on vacation. But as an example, I don't know how well you can see the photo here, but this is our last one. And it 00:24:35
was all about poppies. And we had a ball because people were actually making the poppy seed balls. And there's a picture there 00:24:41
showing some folks around the table. And one thing is kind of neat to see is all the smiles that were in the room at night. So, so 00:24:48
it was some really neat engagement and it was a really fun event. 00:24:54
In another deliverable is our extensive collection of archives and research material available. We have maps documents going back 00:25:03
well over 100 years from all the mines that have been here. 00:25:10
And we also have an extensive microfiche collection of Silver Belt newspapers going back from I believe before the 1900s. And a 00:25:17
research assistant, Leanne Powers is diligently digitizing all that microfiche, so to make that available as well. So we're 00:25:27
continuing to, as we improve the facility and and climate control some of these rooms better, we'll be able to offer these. 00:25:36
Research. 00:25:47
Items to different universities not only in Arizona, but again. 00:25:48
Throughout the country. 00:25:53
Community events, absolutely. We sure do. We have the Fiesta that's hosted there at Bullion Plaza. We do some work with the Global 00:25:57
Miami Chamber of Commerce in the center. Picture will be happening on the 4th of July, the Old Town Fair, which will be right on 00:26:04
Bullion Plaza. So we're looking, looking for a very substantial event there. 00:26:11
And then our online presence. So we're on all the social media platforms, Internet. 00:26:22
And our YouTube videos, again, are getting out to a global audience. 00:26:27
And again, more community engagement. We have our volunteers. 00:26:35
One of those, one of those rascals is sitting right there. 00:26:40
And so you always find Joe Sanchez knocking about the museum. And again with educational down the far right, there you'll see that 00:26:44
one of our our board members and docents is taking a group of school children through expounding on the virtues of mining. 00:26:51
Trying to get trying to ignite that spark in our youth. 00:26:59
And again, just to sum it up. 00:27:05
We promote, we engage, we educate, and we foster. We want to foster a sense of community here. 00:27:08
And so a lot of the times we'll have groups coming in. 00:27:16
Tight budgets, they need a meeting space. Well, can we use your facility? Absolutely. So we're always trying to give back to the 00:27:20
community and try and stay relevant and. 00:27:24
Good, good. Thank you very much and glad to help. Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Phil, thank you for everything you 00:28:02
all have been doing with this. This has been quite a hit here in Henley County, but you guys are also tied in with other museums 00:28:09
around the state, aren't you as well? 00:28:15
We're also partnered up with the Arizona Historical Society and we were looking to expand that collaboratory network. 00:28:22
Museums so absolutely. Well, good deal and thank you all for what you're doing. It's it's, it's it's a huge plus for us. So thank 00:28:31
you yes, thank you for that. And I just have a couple technical questions for me to understand better. So this is part of our 00:28:39
regular budgeted item and it comes from the lottery money essentially that. 00:28:46
Arena of Money, OK. 00:28:54
Right. So if there's nothing else, I'll call for motion doesn't come from District 1. 00:28:56
Just kidding. 00:29:04
Yeah. 00:29:06
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement number 05012024, the Bullion Plaza Cultural Center and 00:29:08
Museum, Incorporated, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, We have 00:29:16
a motion and a second to approve these. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye aye. Thank you, Mr. Gentleman, Thank you. And I will 00:29:24
be happy to report this good news to our our former director, Tom Foster, who we hold deeply in our prayers and thoughts. 00:29:32
Perfect. And he does extend his best wishes to you so thank you again. Give him ours as well would you please? I certainly shall, 00:29:40
Sir. Yes, thank you. Thank you all right. Item 3 E Information discussion action to approve contract agreement number Ctr. 056376 00:29:50
with APIC Solutions incorporated in the amount of $883,968.45 for the purchase and. 00:30:00
Vulnerable access points and lack of encryption. The findings will allow the county to address these issues and improve the 00:31:16
security of its properties. 00:31:20
The assessment report is also identified certain issues that need to be addressed with a better functionality of the current 00:31:25
camera system. Report recommends a few measures that can be taken to address this issue and the outlined contract is intended to 00:31:34
do such. The Facilities and Land Management Department and in partnership with Information Technology Department recommended the 00:31:42
Board of Supervisors approve contract Agreement number Center 056376 with Apex Solutions in the amount of 800. 00:31:51
$83,968.45. 00:32:00
For the purchase and the implementation of the video surveillance system for hill accounting. 00:32:04
It is recommended to source funding is LATF. 00:32:11
And with that, I'd be happy to take any questions. Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:32:17
Well, I, I have a lot of questions, but I guess I don't really, it's just, you know, vandalism, you know, spending on almost 00:32:22
$1,000,000 to prevent vandalism is kind of. 00:32:28
Pretty steep hill for me, but we've got people vandalizing stuff and we can't see it happening. I guess on these on these cameras 00:32:35
and stuff or or videos. Is that possible for them to break these and things before they vandalize anything? I mean, it's there to 00:32:42
help us view places, but how vulnerable with these cameras be? 00:32:50
Yeah. OK. No further questions, Mr. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:33:32
I have a few. 00:33:38
Yes, Sir. So we're gonna start back with last week. 00:33:40
In our presentation, we went through all of our capital projects, proposed capital projects. 00:33:44
To the tune of having more projects than we have money. And when we talked about this particular subject, I didn't realize you 00:33:50
guys have already reached out for a contract with the company and a contract and all that. That wasn't discussed. But furthermore, 00:33:57
in that discussion, I thought we were going to take and prioritize our list of projects. 00:34:04
Obviously we haven't done that and so I'm kind of sitting there looking at this thinking it's not that cameras aren't important, 00:34:12
so I don't want anything get me wrong. 00:34:17
But the electric in this building is also important. 00:34:23
You know, and the conversation last week was is we may be looking at that full amount of money just to fix this building with our 00:34:28
electrical issues. 00:34:32
I. 00:34:39
Because we, I didn't realize it was already to that point. It's, it's almost like you guys have already prioritized projects 00:35:11
without ever getting in front of us. 00:35:16
And and I find that a little bit disturbing after our meeting last week. 00:35:22
I mean, it's us who's going to take the hits, and it's us who has to obligate the monies to fix our projects knowing we have more 00:35:27
projects than we have money. 00:35:31
And especially the week after we had a work session. 00:36:12
I'm just being honest on being up front, but that's what we're here for. We're not here to rubber stamp projects. 00:36:15
That literature, I'll let you have it. Thank you. So. 00:36:21
Joseph, is the bid that you've received have a time frame associated with it? 00:36:26
Chairman, Board of Supervisors, yes, it does. With that, I'd like to just bring a little bit of light to what you're saying 00:36:35
supervised requirement. I, I see where you're coming from for sure With that being said and and maybe we I didn't communicate it 00:36:41
very well on our last meeting is. 00:36:47
That was a. 00:36:54
A way that we can get that information from this team and we felt that we got the prioritization from that team and then we had 00:36:56
some deeper conversations to be able to see what is ready to execute in our top three. And unfortunately that's something that 00:37:03
that may I may not have communicated very effectively. So with that, we'd be happy to take a look at it. To answer your question, 00:37:09
Chairman. 00:37:16
With this being a state contract typically locks this into a price point. There have been several updates from the state contract 00:37:25
and those are increases in costs. We've been able to negotiate with this state contractor to hold this price after moving this 00:37:31
forward a couple of times. With that being said, if we move it forward again, we will be looking at a cost increase with this 00:37:37
project. 00:37:43
Mr. Chair, for me, please. Yeah, That goes with everything, though, Joseph. It's, it's no different with whatever project you 00:37:51
have, the longer it takes you to get it approved and and done. Where we face that risk, we face it with this building, you know, 00:37:57
we face it with a lot. But what I'm getting at is even though last week we had those discussions, somewhere along the way, it 00:38:04
already pushed through looking at a contract for this. This didn't happen in just a few days, I don't think. 00:38:10
For this these, these deals. So that's that's what really comes to light for me. And that's where I just say, hey, we need to time 00:38:18
out a minute back up. That's really take this serious and look at these prioritization 'cause we don't have enough money to go 00:38:24
around. We just don't. Roger that. Yes, Sir. 00:38:30
OK. Thank you. And so. 00:38:38
Is there on the schedule currently another work session regarding capital improvements? At this time there is not. I know the 00:38:42
administrative team, we've put together several of those lists, gotten some of the feedback. This will be one of the top three 00:38:48
recommendations. 00:38:54
So we're still refining that list. 00:39:02
Mr. O'Driscoll, you have something to add? 00:39:06
Gentlemen, members of the board, yeah, we're going to come in front of the board every three to four months to do capital project 00:39:10
updates as we have planned for the work sessions. And as far as this item goes, if the county manager agrees, we could obviously 00:39:16
table it absolutely and come back in front of the board for the next work session and. 00:39:22
You know, presented again as well if the county manager agrees. 00:39:29
I'm Mr. Chairman, I'm never supported at this point. I, I don't believe that we need another work session. We've discussed these, 00:39:37
we've discussed all these projects for a number of months. I believe that we just need to bring it to the board to take action and 00:39:44
say this is our #1 project and list the 8 projects in order of priority and have you vote on that priority list. Is that what I'm 00:39:50
hearing? Vote or change it or whatever. 00:39:57
A vote to say this is our number one priority as a county. This is number 23 and on down through eight to have you take a vote on 00:40:04
what the your priorities collectively as a board. 00:40:10
So is that what? 00:40:17
That's what I'm hearing your recommendation. Yeah, James, but it's it's Mr. Chair if I may, even a little bit more until than 00:40:19
that. It's like, okay, we take three projects like Joseph and Michael are kind of referring to. 00:40:25
Or all of them, however we want to do that and we say, OK, we can fund this, the 1st 123, whatever it is, but where are we going 00:40:33
after that? Are are we as a board going to reach out and look at bonding to go ahead and finish these projects? Or are we just 00:40:40
going to cut it off right there and hope for the best in the future? I mean, we, we need these discussions. I need these 00:40:47
discussions, Mr. Chairman, through our time, this is ongoing. It's, it's a matter of. 00:40:54
Every year there's going to be an allocation and appropriation in your. 00:41:02
Adopting to the budget, there will be an appropriation or an amount that's included for capital projects. 00:41:09
And as we continue on whether it's $1,000,000, two million, $3,000,000 that is budgeted, appropriated, we just continue as we go 00:41:16
on through future identifying what the priorities are and then? 00:41:23
Attacking them as we go through, if this is not once we run out of the 5 million in LITCF money, it's not like we're going to 00:41:32
stop, you're going to continue, we're going to continue to prioritize and continue to allocate appropriate. We continue. One of 00:41:38
the things that we've had the discussion since last week of saying, OK, these are the projects that were discussed either or 00:41:44
identified. Now let's go out and get grant dollars, additional grant dollars to pay for some of these things. So it's just a 00:41:51
continual exercise to identify what we need. 00:41:57
And go out and do the best you can to find grant dollars to help us and use our local dollars to the extent that we have to. And 00:42:04
is it potential that we could bond something? I, I really don't like that if it's a short term, something that's less than the 00:42:11
length of bond. If, if we have a bond that's 20 years, the asset or whatever we buy with that 20 year bond, it's got to last at 00:42:19
least 20 years. Otherwise we're. 00:42:26
It's it's not, it doesn't work in the math for me and the time frame of paying for something through its useful life at at a 00:42:35
minimum. Yeah, no, I see that, James. And I understand that fully. It's just that right now, you know, all of our money, our COVID 00:42:42
money, LATCF money, that's the last of the big money that we've had. You know, and going forward, I agree with the fact that we 00:42:50
ought to be chasing some grants to try and help with these other projects. 00:42:57
From from in house, from general funds, money like that. I'm not sure what we're going to what's going to be there. You know, I, I 00:43:05
have no idea right now, but. 00:43:09
So I, I just an exercise for me because I have the same questions that you do. And so I, I go through take the information that 00:43:14
was given to us last week and put up a spreadsheet of what does all this cost and where's the money come from. And all the 00:43:20
projects that we talked about, including the three million for the Swiss gear and electrical of this facility, we have enough 00:43:27
money except for if we include all of those projects we talked about last week, there's a million, a million up to a million and a 00:43:33
half. 00:43:39
Shortfall being that we'd have to come up with our own money of a million half dollars. I believe that we can get some grants to 00:43:46
cover that. And so with that 5 million we we can cover all of that. 00:43:52
We're short a million and a half dollars at this point. 00:44:01
With the potential that we could go out and get grants to cover that million and a half dollars. 00:44:04
Yeah. 00:44:13
Go ahead. 00:44:14
Totally OK with putting this and to be able to bring that and and we didn't, we did not look at the big picture and that's what we 00:44:17
need to do in that have that discussion. How does that just add up and. 00:44:24
And how does well? 00:44:32
Subaru Christensen, as you pointed out that we've got to get to the point of a deferred maintenance where we. 00:44:35
We've got huge costs that we've got a $2 billion cost for roof and HVAC at Central Heights 3,000,000 plus additional costs for 00:44:42
this building and we've got to get over over that hump. How do we do that? And that's a. 00:44:51
Part of the LATCF money that helps us to do that. 00:45:03
Mr. Chair, yeah, I just go back to the fact that last week's discussion in this building that we're sitting in right here and the 00:45:06
issues that are involved with that building. This building as you described, Joseph, is one. Me personally, I can't overlook. It 00:45:13
isn't just a matter if a camera doesn't work or whatever like that, but these lights go out and you can't find the part to fix it. 00:45:19
We're going to displace a lot of people real quick, and I don't think that needs to be. 00:45:26
Passed over. I think that's something that really, really, in my opinion needs to be addressed. And that's why I say, hey, let's 00:45:33
back up. Let's look at these priorities, whatever. How do you guys want to you want to roll it into the agenda with a list of what 00:45:39
you think is good and let us look at it and vote on them. I'm good with that, but we need some discussions on this. We really do. 00:45:45
Mr. Chairman, started Klein. Is there a? 00:45:53
Am I reading wrong of what your intentions of how we prioritize the projects? What was your what's your recommendation? How we 00:45:58
prioritize? We get this building behind us. As far as I'm concerned, we get this building fixed. I can work with the rest. 00:46:05
That's my priority. Priority. I mean, we're sitting here on something that goes down. We don't have the means readily available to 00:46:14
fix it more than likely. 00:46:19
And so to me, to have them to be without cameras for a little while longer or better cameras or whatever, that's fine. We can live 00:46:25
with that. 00:46:30
But we can't live with something happening to this building or we can't work in. 00:46:35
That's my opinion and that's that's why and we, and if you recall last week I asked, I think you specifically what's it going to 00:46:43
cost us if this thing shuts down for three or four days. 00:46:48
A lot. And it more likely won't be just for a short duration, they'll be for a pretty lengthy duration. 00:46:55
And Mr. Chairman, thank you. So I decline and to get that. 00:47:02
What the priorities are from each of you as a collective board is what we. 00:47:07
Need to have to act on and to put allocate the dollars based on your. 00:47:13
Home approval as a board. 00:47:19
Is why I think we need to bring it back to have you vote on those, that priority list. You know, I was proud of the list, James 00:47:21
and Joseph, Michael, everything on there's legit. Everything on that list is legit. I mean, we have big issues still at the 00:47:27
Fairgrounds. I mean, we have issues at Apache Blvd. We have, they're all legitimate issues, but we got to tackle it right. We 00:47:34
really do. 00:47:40
I'm done. OK, thanks. So what I'm hearing and I'll get, I'll ask you again if you have any more input. What I seem to be hearing 00:47:48
and I agree with is that we need a list presented to us in a risk assessment order. In other words, this should be number 1234 and 00:47:55
all of that. And we're going to come up short and we need to know what is, what we can sacrifice and what we can. And I think 00:48:03
that's a little bit of how we ended the meeting. 00:48:10
Last week, because Supervisor Klein did leave just before all that was discussed was that we would be presented with a list of the 00:48:18
priorities. And I think that is the main complaint here today. That's what I'm reading. So this is one of your recommended top 00:48:27
priority lists for the county and so. 00:48:35
I'm going to wait for a motion to see what direction we're going to go, but that's what I'm reading is that the supervisors need 00:48:45
to have a little more input on the situation as it exists today, right, supervisor? 00:48:52
Why would you say if a list comes to us of priorities, I understand priorities, but but why is it a priority? And, and I 00:49:00
understand that this building goes down, it's going to be a big crunch, but maybe we don't have a bid or something in place. 00:49:08
That's why we're putting something else further up the totem pole than than that. So with a priority list perhaps. 00:49:16
Why that's in in in the category that it is. And you know, maybe the electrical will be #5 that's OK. It's #5 it's just why is it 00:49:25
#5? 00:49:30
And and these seem to come up higher on the list I think would be helpful. 00:49:36
Just remember. 00:49:44
This chairman I. 00:49:46
Give a personal experience here of why this is a priority to me personally and. 00:49:50
That I was a finance director for Navajo County and, and there was an occasion where there was a court case, child custody case 00:49:58
and two women tragically lost their lives because they were shot because the the the result was an action by the courts that did 00:50:05
not make one person happy. And while the video cameras are not. 00:50:13
An end all to ensure the safety of employees and. 00:50:21
Constituents that use the courthouse, it is an important piece of the puzzle to help ensure safety. And so that that's why if 00:50:29
we're bringing this prematurely, there are reasons that we we have the security cameras and right now they are so poor that they 00:50:38
do not provide any safety or help to ensure any security to our employees or to residents that utilize our services. 00:50:48
So I that's that's if we jump the gun, it's my fault. But just possibly from a personal experience and tragedy that. 00:50:58
Being there at that courthouse at that time when two women tragically lost their life. 00:51:11
Is significant to me. 00:51:17
Mr. Chair, and I understand that, James. And I don't disagree with, like I said, all these projects are legitimate, every one of 00:51:20
them. But we only have the over $5,000,000 LATCF funds. We have more than that in projects. I know you said a million and a half, 00:51:28
but we got like 2.4 million waiting for us at the fairgrounds and and electrical, again, just to bring it up to standards to be 00:51:35
more adequate to rent out. And so we have $3,000,000 that's sitting on the table for this building. 00:51:43
We all agree Mr. Humphrey brought it up. He turned an old building in May, end up $10 million. We don't know. And so we just have 00:51:51
substantial projects and not enough money. 00:51:57
And so. 00:52:04
We are, Mr. Chairman, Sergeant Fine. We're working on a larger package bring to you in the future that will address some of these 00:52:07
more significant projects. 00:52:13
Yeah, we're we are working collectively to address the big picture. 00:52:20
OK, good. I'm good advise on her for you, OK. 00:52:27
Yeah, I'm fine. 00:52:33
Anymore to discuss, Michael at this time, but if the board so chooses to table this item, we'll make sure Joseph and I will sit 00:52:36
down and make sure that we be more specific on the list that we gave last week during the work session as far as the reasoning for 00:52:42
priority, you know, prioritizing each individual project. And we'll bring that in front of the board and we'll receive your 00:52:48
feedback and go from there. 00:52:55
Thank you and with that I will entertain a motion on item 3E. 00:53:02
You want to make the motion? Absolutely. I'll make the motion to table 3E until further notice or next meeting, whatever it is. 00:53:09
I'll second that motion and a second to table item 3E. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. OK, thank you. We'll proceed 00:53:21
that way. Thank you. 00:53:26
Item 3F Information Discussion Action to approve amendment #2 to Contract number 072721 Sub Grantee for Project Management Health 00:53:33
Disparities with wowza LLC to extend the contract term for one year from July 1, 2024 June 30th, 2025 and decrease the contract 00:53:42
amount by $175,000 for new. 00:53:50
With one year left in the grant, it didn't make sense to hire anybody new. We, the contractor, had run into some people at Arizona 00:54:36
State University that work out of the library that has a place called a makerspace, which is a fancy play way of saying have a 00:54:42
bunch of really cool technology stuff. 3D printer, cricket system. They can do sewing machines that hook up with software that you 00:54:48
can do print your own shirts. You can get wood blocks, vinyl cars and cuts into the materials. You can make all kinds of different 00:54:54
items. 00:55:01
So Long story short, we reached out to the school superintendents, the first one that I'm used to working with Miami school 00:55:07
districts that was really close with us. It's really easy to work with Doctor Dorothy to get kind of these pilot programs off the 00:55:12
ground. So we're going to be working with ours is going to be working with Miss Dorothy. They've got classroom or two set aside 00:55:18
for us or we're going to have all this 3D printing equipment, all the supplies, everything you can do to kind of bring technology 00:55:23
to the youth. 00:55:29
Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:56:08
Yeah, just just one question, I guess I think it's great to work with the youth. I think I think thank you very much for reaching 00:56:11
out, like I say, for some of this extra money and things that other departments aren't using, you're you're great at at getting it 00:56:17
to Hill County. I was just wondering about some thought in the themes of some of the prints that the students print on their 00:56:23
shirts. Would, would, would be a good idea to, you know, to not only give them the opportunity to print shirts, but but perhaps 00:56:29
come up with themes that are. 00:56:35

Item 3H Information Discussion Action to approve amendment #3 Intergovernmental Agreement number 012621 with the Town of Miami to 00:59:26
extend the term for one additional year from in 1st 2024. 00:59:33
Through May 31st, 2025 and established the cost for Rd. grading at a cost of $99 per hour for the maintenance of Mackie Camp Rd. 00:59:40
Mr. Villa. Good morning Chairman, Board of Supervisors. So back on April 20. 00:59:48
April 20th of 2021, the board approved an agreement with the Town of Miami to provide maintenance for Mecca Camp Rd. We've been 00:59:59
extending this IGA over time. This is our third amendment and and our 4th year that we would be doing this. The work is to provide 01:00:07
routine grading of Mecca Camp Rd. that we were offered I believe 7 easements at the time. The road is partly in the Town of Miami. 01:00:16
There's 13180 feet inside the town limits and there's about 800 feet inside the unincorporated area of Heila County. 01:00:25
We have been maintaining this road. The complaint level has basically diminished to 0. The folks that live there are are happy 01:00:35
with that type of grading we're doing and we'd like to extend this for one additional year. 01:00:42
And so then that was one of those volley deals between Miami and county and whose is it and who's responsible. And so I think the 01:01:30
the road department very much for working this out so that we could get an IHBA with the town of Miami. And then we did get the 01:01:39
easements from the people that owned properties that this road is on to, to help those people that live there. So. 01:01:48
Thank you very much, Omar, for for bringing that to us today. 01:01:58
Supervisor. 01:02:03
So Mr. Humphrey, we're in the process of turning it into like a primitive Rd. agreement. Is that what you're saying or? No, We 01:02:04
just got permission to maintenance it. I'm not sure how often it's maintenance, but it's not very often. But I don't, I don't know 01:02:11
that we're going any further other than just working with the town of Miami to do their portion and our portion. We just have 01:02:18
easements to maintain. 01:02:24
OK. Is that correct? So the board approved the maintenance of that road. I don't recall if it was just affirmative Rd. I would 01:02:33
assume that it was just a primitive Rd. but I would have to check that. But that is in our list of maintained growth today and and 01:02:39
they maintain it under the town, the park that is in the town portion, we maintain it under this IGA. Gotcha. And that's where you 01:02:45
charge the $99.00 an hour and $99.00 an hour home. Now is that kind of the standard charge for is that, does that include the 01:02:52
operator in it? 01:02:58
Yes, that is the total cost except for material. We would bill them separately for material that is a charge for routine grading 01:03:05
and it includes the use of the equipment and and the and the labor was established four years ago. We get an opportunity to renew 01:03:12
this to create a new IGA and we'll be looking at the cost when we create the new IGA. I like this cost here, especially if it ever 01:03:20
comes out of my constituent funds anytime. So it's a good cost Homer. 01:03:28
So I'm I'm glad we're doing this to help Miami out. That's a good luck and it's needed. So thank you, Homer. 01:03:37
Thank you. And he asked the question I was going to ask, so we're good to go. We'll call for a motion. Mr. I move to approve 01:03:44
amendment #3 to Intergovernmental Agreement number 012621 with the Town of Miami as presented. And I'll second that motion. And 01:03:51
the 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye. Thank you, homeroom. Thank you. 01:03:59
Item 4A through J Consent agenda items. Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to remove one or more of the items for discussion and 01:04:08
voting separately? Mr. Chair, I choose to remove nothing from consent agenda item. Thank you. Supervisor Klein, same question. 01:04:17
I think I'm good. 01:04:27
And I will call for a motion on the consent agenda items. Mr. Chair, I'd make the motion to approve consent agenda items or A 01:04:29
through four J. I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. 01:04:37
Call to the public. Is there anyone here in Globe that wishes to speak? See anyone? Anyone in Payson? I don't see anyone. 01:04:45
And Cassandra, we're good to go. How many were on the Internet today? 01:04:55
33 Oh, that's pretty good, all right. 01:05:01
All right. So thank you. And we'll move on to item number six, which is presentations. 01:05:05
Henderson, we'll start with you. 01:05:11
This chair remembers the board was able to last week, end of last week, take a tour of the Hill Street School construction project 01:05:14
here in Globe that is coming along very well. They are doing sheetrock and taping, texturing some of the rooms, but it that is a 01:05:21
project to. 01:05:27
Create 64 new housing units for seniors, a lot of them, some of them are low income, so it's a great project. It will be a 01:05:35
beautiful building when it is completed and very excited about the prospect of 64 new housing units in this area. 01:05:44
Also, to maintain my license as a certified public Accounting accountant, I'm required to have 80 hours of continuing education. 01:05:54
Every time I have to renew my license with the Arizona State Board of Accountancy. And so this coming week I will be spending 01:06:05
several days going to going to class, going to school for accounting. That sounds thrilling and exciting, but a necessary evil, I 01:06:11
guess, to maintain certification. 01:06:17
As a CPA, that's it, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:06:24
Yeah, Do we do have that program to help employees further their education? 01:06:30
Are you, are you a part of that? I am very much I really. 01:06:37
OK. 01:06:42
OK, I'm up. You're up. OK, I did an interview with Fox 10 News on the bridge. It turned out pretty nice. Attended a district two 01:06:46
team meeting. Was on Kiko on Monday the 3rd at 9:30. 01:06:54
I I attended a meeting with Tri-City Sanitation District and Senator Kelly's staff yesterday, but the staff was really, really 01:07:04
late. So I I didn't get to make the meeting because they were several hours late and I had other obligations. 01:07:12
I'll hold a Tunnel Basin meeting this evening at 5, and a big hot topic with Donald Basin is the bridge opening. And the big 01:07:21
celebration for the bridge with all the speakers, the tents, the food trucks, all the stuff is on the 22nd, not the 17th. The 17th 01:07:31
construction may choose to open the bridge, but it will be closed for the our celebration on the 22nd. 01:07:41
So I know it's been in the paper and things have said that there's going to be a, a big deal on the 17th. There may like I say, 01:07:51
the contractor may open the bridge on the 17th and maybe just a little thing, but everything is on the 22nd as far as the tunnel 01:08:01
bridge ceremony goes. And then on Thursday, I will attend an animal control both of office ceremony. 01:08:11
I'm, I'm kind of looking forward to that because many, many, many years ago I've worked with animal control and so watching that, 01:08:21
that whole program get to where it is today with our new facility and everything, I'm, I'm happy that they asked me to be at that 01:08:29
ceremony for those animal control officers and that does it for me. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:08:36
So Saturday I attended a meeting in El Capitan. Had a meeting there at the property owners. It was a really good meeting. 01:08:46
And learned quite a bit more from them. And yesterday I was on Camel G radio with the county update, basically going over our 01:08:53
project list and everything from last week. I think it went really well. 01:08:59
Tonight, me and Kathy will be in Winkelmann at a ribbon ribbon cutting presentation on the new mural that's there at City Hall on 01:09:07
the on the building there. And so I'm really looking forward to that. And if I'm not mistaken, that mural is one of those payments 01:09:13
that was sitting in here. 01:09:18
So it's going to be a really cool deal there too. Next Tuesday on the 11th, I'll be participating on a panel at the Arizona 01:09:24
Workforce Summit in Flagstaff Office of Economic Opportunity. And who knows beyond that, I don't, I'm not sure. So thank you, Mr. 01:09:31
Chair. Thank you, Supervisor. I don't have a lot to report right now. I have another meeting at 2:00. So I really appreciate 01:09:37
everybody kind of helping move everything along today. Kind of a light agenda that's that's good to have every once in a while, I 01:09:43
will say on Thursday. 01:09:50
The, there's going to be a meeting about the Highway 260 improvement. They call it the Lion Springs improvement because that's 01:09:57
where Lion Springs is, 3-4 miles. I can't remember. And so I'll probably go to that. That'll be at the. 01:10:05
Patient campus there of the Gila Provisional College. What day was that again? I got that invite Thursday, Thursday this Thursday 01:10:15
the 6th at 4:00. So we need Delon posted. 01:10:20
Thank you. OK, great. So it looks like. 01:10:27
We'll have myself and others there and so get an idea on that. That's been a very long coming project. 01:10:30
Delayed, put off and everything so. 01:10:39
Yes, Sir. Mr. Chairman, my own Springs project, the design architect and engineering has been done for that this year. They're 01:10:44
working on acquisition of right away and it's scheduled to start construction in 25. So the meeting is to give an update and and 01:10:51
apprise everybody of where the project is at and that it is going forward. So a great project to widen that from 2 lanes to four 01:10:58
lanes for that last little bit that it's a bottleneck getting into pace and Star Valley. 01:11:06
It is. And just to let everyone know, that's a state project, not a county project. Mr. Chair, if I may, though, doesn't the 01:11:13
county have money in this project? 01:11:17
OK 'cause. 01:11:22
Yeah, For some reason I was thinking we did, but it's good to hear that we don't, so that's good. Whatever. State highway, state 01:11:26
money, OK. 01:11:31
I need it a long time. Yeah, absolutely. OK. 01:11:36
I'll just say thank you for going because. 01:11:40
When Steve Scott was on the date off board, they kept pushing this project down down. 01:11:44
Showed under the carpet, but by increased presence from you as a Board of Supervisors that demonstrated the importance of that 01:11:51
project. And that's why I got elevated and is succeeding and moving forward to this point. So appreciate your support of the board 01:11:56
to ensure that it keeps moving forward. 01:12:02
So I'd I'd have to say that that that is our input that we said we really need it. So and it is, it's a terrible bottleneck and 01:12:08
it's kind of dangerous right through there. So there's been people die right through that area leaving the road. 01:12:15
OK. So if there's nothing else, then I will during the meeting. Thank you. 01:12:23

Brian Reading and I've. 00:00:04
Terry to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. So we would all stand and do that now. Thank you, Chair. 00:00:08
Of the United States, of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and 00:00:15
justice for all. 00:00:22
Bear with me please. 00:00:34
Dear God, we are grateful to be in your presence today and to know that the businesses that are being conducted, the decisions 00:00:36
that are being made. 00:00:40
The choices that are being made are being made in your presence and with your awareness in a country that seeks at least at its 00:00:44
best. 00:00:48
To follow your will and to do what is best for its citizens. 00:00:52
Got at this time, we are mindful of this week, this coming anniversary of the beginning of the end of one of the last great wars 00:00:57
and conflicts in our world's history. 00:01:02
And we know that that history is one of violence and one of chaos. And even now we see many conflicts taking place in our world, 00:01:08
in our nation, even in our communities. Not just battles and wars, but also conflicts of ideology and character. 00:01:16
And God, at this time, we pray that even here on this local level that you would promote peace among us and promote wisdom and 00:01:25
good decision making so that those who lead us here in this community could be guided in doing what is best for the people. 00:01:32
Best for our society and best in your sight as well. We ask you to bless the, the, the decision making here today, the 00:01:40
deliberations here today. We pray that those would be done in a way that would bring honor to the people participating. That would 00:01:47
they would be done in a way that reveals the truth of what is needed and what is not needed. And that they would be done in a way 00:01:54
that ultimately is to the betterment of our community. 00:02:01
Bless the hands and the minds and the words of the the speakers here, of the Board of Supervisors, of the guests that are here to 00:02:09
speak and give them wisdom to do what's right and to seek what's right. Bless us all, Lord, as we seek to be your children, as we 00:02:16
seek to be carrying out your will, and as we seek to do what is best in this community. We pray these things in Jesus name and 00:02:23
then Amen. 00:02:30
Thank you. 00:02:38
Well, if it's not terribly always, I'm calling the meeting to order. I forgot to do that first. We got it. I think we're already 00:02:41
there so. 00:02:45
It's Tuesday, June 4th, 10:00 AM and so we'll call this meeting to order and we're going to start with a presentation. Item 2A, 00:02:50
Erica Raymond has a presentation of public recognition of six employees through the County Spotlight on Employees program as 00:02:58
follows, Estelle Velarde, Eric Mearskal, Alfonso Alvarez, and Crystal Singleton. 00:03:06
Stephanie Johnson and Taylor Cummings. Good morning, Erica. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Members of the board, thank you so much for 00:03:15
allowing us to be here today. 00:03:20
That's you. As mentioned, we do have six employees that will be nominating today. First and foremost, we have Estelle Velardi, her 00:03:26
Spotlight nomination read. I'm happy to nominate Estelle for the Spotlight Award for her exceptional dedication and commitment to 00:03:32
providing unparalleled community service. 00:03:38
Her dedication extends beyond our community to compass our partners and vendors. Her unwavering commitment to serving the low 00:03:45
income, seniors, veterans and the needy should serve as an inspiration for all. Her dedication to serving the community 00:03:52
demonstrates the power of kindness and service, embodying the values we strive to uphold. This was committed by Stella Gore. 00:04:00
Estelle has been with Public Health and Community Services for almost 21 years. 00:04:07
Up next, we have a group nomination for our election staff. 00:04:30
The nomination read. When the Arizona Republican Party held their conference in Scottsdale last January, County Elections 00:04:36
Department Director Eric Mariscal and his staff were specifically requested to oversee the party's own internal election of 00:04:43
officers. In late April, the state party convened to elect party delegates to represent Arizona at the National Convention and 00:04:50
again in terms of the Healer County Elections Department to assure an accurate, efficient and error free tally of votes. 00:04:58
Graciously agreeing to oversee state party elections does mean a long Saturday with travel to and from the Valley for Elections 00:05:05
Department, Eric and his staff, Alfonso and Crystal. And it's a credit to Heal County that our elections team is held in such a 00:05:14
steam and asked to run a scrutinized partisan election in our state's most populous county. They have a proven track record for 00:05:22
this. Eric and his team oversaw the Arizona Republic Republican Party conference votes in 2020 and 2022 as well. 00:05:30
These past few months have been busy processing 11,191 ballots during the Presidential preference election last March, followed by 00:05:39
the state party elections. He might be surprised to learn about a few other vote tallies where this team is specifically requested 00:05:47
for their accuracy for the Globe High School vote, for student council and even King and Queen of the annual prom programming, the 00:05:54
ballot for Arizona's annual Girls state convention, and in between running local school board. 00:06:02
Local school bond overrides special elections and higher profile statewide tallies. 00:06:11
Director Mariscal and his team are constantly recruiting and training poll workers, conducting logic and accuracy tests with the 00:06:17
Arizona State of Secretary of State's office and answering an array of public records request. For these reasons and more, Healing 00:06:23
County applause our Elections Department Director Eric Mariscal, Alfonso Alvarez and Crystal Singleton with a well earned and 400 00:06:29
Watt staff spotlight. This was submitted by Paul Walterbeck. 00:06:36
So Eric has been with Heala County for over 16 1/2 years. Eric. 00:06:43
I'll keep it short. You guys got a long ways to go, but thank you very much. It's a great honor and I've got a good staff and we 00:06:59
always try to do the best that we can for the citizens and for the county. Thank you. Thank you very much. 00:07:04
Alfonso Alvarez, who's been with the county over 12 1/2 years and was unable to make it today, but we'll be sure he gets his gift 00:07:14
card. 00:07:18
Crystal Singleton, who's been with the county a little over four months. Crystal. 00:07:23
Thank you. 00:07:35
Next, we have a nomination for both Stephanie Johnson and Taylor Cummings. 00:07:43
There's spotlight red, so Stephanie and Taylor have stayed late to get the office caught up on work. Their dedication is greatly 00:07:48
appreciated, especially in our busy season as we gear up for the 2024 election cycle. 00:07:53
Stephanie Johnson is with the reporter's office and has been with the county a little over 4 1/2 years. Stephanie. 00:08:00
And if you'd like to say anything. 00:08:14
And next we have Taylor Cummings, who's been with the Recorders office 2 1/2 years. Taylor. 00:08:23
And. 00:08:42
Conclude our spotlight. Thank you, Erica. Any comments, Supervisor Humphrey? Yeah, just thank you very, very much. I appreciate 00:08:43
all that you do for us. And you know, there's a difference between having a job and doing that job and sometimes reaching a little 00:08:49
further. And so I appreciate that very much that you you take that extra time to be helpful to our constituents. So I appreciate 00:08:55
it very much. 00:09:01
Thank you supervisor client, same goes to for me and I appreciate you guys and really really want to thank you for all you do. 00:09:09
Thanks. And Erica, when are you gonna get your spotlight? Because I think you're the one that puts them all on, but you never get 00:09:17
one. I'm happy to do this again. 00:09:21
It's such a great honor to spotlight the amazing stuff that we have here at We Do. Thank you all for letting us do. 00:09:26
Thank you, Erica, and thank you for all those in the spotlight today. And we do have an amazing staff. And I'll just make one 00:09:32
comment to Crystal. Crystal, thanks for sticking with it coming in four months ago in an election cycle and she's still here. 00:09:41
Congratulations. Thanks. All right, thank you. All right, let's move on now to Item 3A regular agenda. 00:09:49
Information discussion Action to approve an IGA between the Phoenix Police Department and the Gila County Sheriff's Office, 00:09:59
whereby the Gila County Sheriff's Office, acting as an affiliate agency, will continue to assist the Arizona Internet Crimes 00:10:06
Against Children Task Force for a period of five years after the IGA becomes effective under Sheriff Newman. Welcome. Good 00:10:13
morning, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, it's the intergovernment agreement between US and Phoenix Police Department there the lead 00:10:19
agency in our effort to combat. 00:10:26
Internet child *********** and we started this in 2020. That was when we first signed a three-year agreement with those folks. 00:10:33
It's funded through grant from the Attorney General's office and that's where the funding for this comes from. The Internet knows 00:10:41
no borders. So this is our opportunity and this is an essential agreement to be able to work beyond those and and have the 00:10:49
collaborative effort with other agencies that have the same mission to combat. 00:10:57
The Internet *********** that's so rapid. So this doesn't cost us anything. It's grant funded. It does pay for equipment and 00:11:05
training. So it's the Sheriff's Office recommendation that we sign this agreement. And as you had mentioned, it'll be for five 00:11:11
years. 00:11:16
I'm ready for questions. OK, Supervisor, hopefully I have no questions. Yes, Supervisor, client, just thank you, Dennis and 00:11:23
Sheriff for doing this that that's a good deal to keep going with. So thank you. Yeah, thank you. Is this a problem that's growing 00:11:28
or? 00:11:33
I don't see an end, so whether it's growing or not, it never goes away. 00:11:39
It never goes away. I see a lot of other things that, you know, in the 40 years I've been a cop, I see over and over just the 00:11:45
faces change. Yeah, OK. 00:11:49
All right. Well, I'll call for motion. 00:11:55
Mr. I move to approve an anecdotal agreement with the Phoenix Police Department as presented. 00:11:59
And Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion to approve those in favor say aye, aye, thank you. And item 3B, information, 00:12:05
discussion, action to authorize the Hilo County School Superintendent to sign a memorandum of understanding that is between the 00:12:13
Hilah County Education Service Agency and the Healer County Library District, which collaborates a partnership to provide 00:12:20
educational resources to the adults of Helena County to earn a GED slash HSE. And we have. 00:12:28
Mr. Montague. 00:12:36
Yes, very couldn't make it so he has a letter he wants me to read you guys. 00:12:38
But the process to maintain those sites would be cost prohibitive. Nonetheless, we feel that offering distance learning 00:13:46
instructive services that do not require extensive travel is a big step to forward for rural residents. Thank you and Elaine 00:13:52
Gortuba of the Hilo County Library District for supporting our expansion efforts to provide GED slash HSC opportunities to all 00:13:58
Hilo County residents who desire a high school employment. 00:14:03
OK. Thank you. Elaine, did you have anything you wanted to add to that? This is sort of your item too, right? 00:14:10
Partly. 00:14:18
We're just happy that they reached out because this is one of the things that libraries do and we provide the space for that and 00:14:21
especially in the areas that we're talking about initially. So it's Hayden Young, Miami and. 00:14:27
Miami. 00:14:36
And we're working on some of the others on a basin and pine as well, so that our, our community, they don't have to go very far to 00:14:38
do this testing. And we really, you know, higher education is a must. 00:14:43
A must for our students and our inner community. So we're very, very happy to cooperate and work with the school district. OK, 00:14:49
Thank you, Supervisor Huntly. I have no questions other than thank you for making it possible for people, too, to get their 00:14:55
education. 00:15:01
By the client. Yeah. The more we make it available and help folks with this, the better off we're going to be. And And thank you 00:15:08
both and Roy too for doing all this. Appreciate it. Thank you. Happy to support it. I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair. I'll make the 00:15:14
motion to authorize the Helic County School Superintendent to sign a memorandum of understanding that is between the Healer County 00:15:20
Education Service Agency and the Healer County Library District. Desperate. 00:15:27
Mr. Chair, I'll second that a motion and a second to approve Those in favor say aye, aye, thank you very much. Item 3C, 00:15:34
Information discretion, action to adopt. Resolution #24-06-02 accepting amendments to the agreement of declaration of Trust. 00:15:42
Of the Arizona Local government employee benefit Trust to extend the agreement and declaration of trust to July 1, 2044 and remove 00:15:51
language regarding the location of the principal office. Good morning James good morning Mr. Chairman, this is our Arizona local 00:15:58
government employee benefit trust, our health insurance trust that includes six of the smallest counties in Arizona that we are in 00:16:05
a trust that. 00:16:12
Provides our health insurance for our employees. It's been very good. 00:16:21
The ones that our forefathers that entered into this were very wise and it's been a very good. 00:16:25
Vehicle to get affordable health insurance for our employees. 00:16:33
This we're in 2020 year increments here for the trust to exist concludes on June 30th of this year. This act by the resolution 00:16:38
today at Oxford resolution today extends our health insurance trust for another 20 years to July 1st 2044. There's also one other 00:16:47
small thing that the health insurance trust did have an office at the County Supervisors Association building. Since then the. 00:16:57
Aaron Collins and associates. 00:17:08
For. 00:17:10
Various reasons. Eric Collins sold the business to Gallagher and Gallagher is now a parent company and no longer has that office 00:17:12
at the CSA building. And so the language that's been changed here is that it's a, a generic wherever the office may be not 00:17:19
required to be in our bylaws in our planned documents to have a specific address. 00:17:27
So as to change is to extend the term of this our participation to 2044 and the elimination of the specific address are what is 00:17:35
specified by changes in this resolution today. 00:17:41
I'm ready for any questions you might have. OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:17:49
Yes. James, do you have any, do you foresee any issues with removing the the language on the location for the principal office? Do 00:17:53
you see it creating any difficulties? I don't because it's with Gallagher. They're a national company that has specific addresses 00:18:01
and specific locations of doing business. They are specifically in Arizona and if they for whatever reason choose to move from 00:18:10
downtown Phoenix to Globe, AZ. 00:18:18
Well, welcoming well. 00:18:26
Yeah, thank you. You've gone Supervisor Klein. No, I'm good, James. Thanks. Yeah, I'm fine too. So with that, I'll call for 00:18:29
motion. Mr. I move to adopt resolution #24-O6-O2. And I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, 00:18:38
aye. Thank you, James. And Mr. Chair, if I may, we have a past supervisor here, Joe Sanchez, and I'd like to. 00:18:47
Say thank you for being here today and just to acknowledge him for being a past supervisor and. 00:18:56
Also being still very active in the community. Good. Thank you very much. Would you like to come up and say a few words? 00:19:02
He's a past supervisor. Just a few words. You better. 00:19:11
But really, yeah, it's a pleasure to be here. And I'm here with Phil Stewart, who's our new director at the Bullion Plaza Cultural 00:19:19
Center and Museum, and he'll be presenting to the board later. But. 00:19:25
I want to thank the board for all that you do for our community. You know, I'm working with several nonprofits, one being the 00:19:32
Clean the Cemeteries committee, and you folks have been just really super helpful. And as we speak, the members of the it's a 00:19:39
Forestry service group. 00:19:46
And along with the inmates from our local facility are cleaning up a couple of cemeteries, the Elks section and the Masonic 00:19:53
section, and we're making that place look like a a cemetery. It's been overlooked for so many years. So our committee is working 00:20:03
with folks like yourselves and we really appreciate the help from the county and appreciate I worked with your dad for many years. 00:20:13
Steve and I really respected and admired everything that he did along with Supervisor Salas and myself. So there again, thank you 00:20:23
for all that you do in supporting our our local nonprofits. Thank you, Joe, you bet. Any more comments? Thank you, Supervisor 00:20:29
Klein. 00:20:36
No, I'm good. It's good to see you today. Thanks for being here. Thank you for your gracious comments. Let's move on now to item 00:20:43
3D information, discussion, action to approve economic development agreement. 00:20:49
Number 05012024 with Boolean Plaza, Cultural Center and Museum incorporated in the amount of $10,000 that the Board is determined 00:20:56
to be for the benefit of the public. 00:21:02
Marin Belling presenting. Good morning. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, Supervisor Klein. Good morning, Supervisor 00:21:10
Humphrey. This morning we have Phil Stewart and apparently Joseph with us for from William Plaza to share with you their annual 00:21:17
report and tell you what it is they do with the funds that you provide them so that they can help our community serve itself 00:21:23
better. Mr. George Moore. 00:21:30
Good morning. Good morning all, and thank you, Mary. 00:21:39
So again Phil Stewart the the new Director and Board President William Plaza coming here to to ask you folks to continue your 00:21:43
support of our museum. As you can see by the 1st slide you you keep some very well company in in regards to stakeholders and. 00:21:52
Going through, we just have a quick look at our mission and vision statement. So we're, we're here to preserve and educate and 00:22:04
engage the community and to promote Gila County. 00:22:09
As you well know, Bullion Plaza is located on one of the gateways into Healer County from the Valley. And so it's it's Williams 00:22:15
Plaza intent to present a good view and to engage people as they come through and expound the history of the area. And then also 00:22:24
to further promote all the other activities and businesses and and points of interest in the county. 00:22:32
Deliverable. So what do we give to the community? Well, hey, we give them exhibitions and displays and knowledge. 00:22:44
Folks come in from all over the globe. To give you an example of that, just in the last three months, we've had people in from 00:22:50
Japan, we've had people in from Australia and we've had folks in from Spain. So it's amazing how the reach of this organization 00:22:59
and in turn Gila County gets out to the to the world as a whole. So this is one of the items that we deliver. 00:23:07
And then again, another one is, is our partnerships and collaborations. We're very, very, very proud of these. And one of the 00:23:17
biggest news items I can give you is recently we've had the privilege of of gaining on our Board of directors Doctor Richard 00:23:24
Ramos, who will be the Superintendent of Miami Unified School District 40. So Doctor Ramos joins our Board and fills in a very 00:23:31
important educational slot. 00:23:38
So now in addition to culture, mining, ranching, now we have an educational component. So now we're looking forward to developing 00:23:45
curriculum that would be relevant to K through 12 so we can engage more with all the school districts here in the county and 00:23:52
beyond. 00:23:58
So that's that's a huge a huge. 00:24:06
Asset for us. And of course we also have great relationships with Ober Valley Symphony Arts Healer County Historical Museum in the 00:24:09
Gold Miami Chamber of Commerce. 00:24:14
And again, some of our educational programs we our second Friday events which happened. 00:24:22
Ten months out of the year. So we take a break in July and August is a little hot. 00:24:30
And people are on vacation. But as an example, I don't know how well you can see the photo here, but this is our last one. And it 00:24:35
was all about poppies. And we had a ball because people were actually making the poppy seed balls. And there's a picture there 00:24:41
showing some folks around the table. And one thing is kind of neat to see is all the smiles that were in the room at night. So, so 00:24:48
it was some really neat engagement and it was a really fun event. 00:24:54
In another deliverable is our extensive collection of archives and research material available. We have maps documents going back 00:25:03
well over 100 years from all the mines that have been here. 00:25:10
And we also have an extensive microfiche collection of Silver Belt newspapers going back from I believe before the 1900s. And a 00:25:17
research assistant, Leanne Powers is diligently digitizing all that microfiche, so to make that available as well. So we're 00:25:27
continuing to, as we improve the facility and and climate control some of these rooms better, we'll be able to offer these. 00:25:36
Research. 00:25:47
Items to different universities not only in Arizona, but again. 00:25:48
Throughout the country. 00:25:53
Community events, absolutely. We sure do. We have the Fiesta that's hosted there at Bullion Plaza. We do some work with the Global 00:25:57
Miami Chamber of Commerce in the center. Picture will be happening on the 4th of July, the Old Town Fair, which will be right on 00:26:04
Bullion Plaza. So we're looking, looking for a very substantial event there. 00:26:11
And then our online presence. So we're on all the social media platforms, Internet. 00:26:22
And our YouTube videos, again, are getting out to a global audience. 00:26:27
And again, more community engagement. We have our volunteers. 00:26:35
One of those, one of those rascals is sitting right there. 00:26:40
And so you always find Joe Sanchez knocking about the museum. And again with educational down the far right, there you'll see that 00:26:44
one of our our board members and docents is taking a group of school children through expounding on the virtues of mining. 00:26:51
Trying to get trying to ignite that spark in our youth. 00:26:59
And again, just to sum it up. 00:27:05
We promote, we engage, we educate, and we foster. We want to foster a sense of community here. 00:27:08
And so a lot of the times we'll have groups coming in. 00:27:16
Tight budgets, they need a meeting space. Well, can we use your facility? Absolutely. So we're always trying to give back to the 00:27:20
community and try and stay relevant and. 00:27:24
Good, good. Thank you very much and glad to help. Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Phil, thank you for everything you 00:28:02
all have been doing with this. This has been quite a hit here in Henley County, but you guys are also tied in with other museums 00:28:09
around the state, aren't you as well? 00:28:15
We're also partnered up with the Arizona Historical Society and we were looking to expand that collaboratory network. 00:28:22
Museums so absolutely. Well, good deal and thank you all for what you're doing. It's it's, it's it's a huge plus for us. So thank 00:28:31
you yes, thank you for that. And I just have a couple technical questions for me to understand better. So this is part of our 00:28:39
regular budgeted item and it comes from the lottery money essentially that. 00:28:46
Arena of Money, OK. 00:28:54
Right. So if there's nothing else, I'll call for motion doesn't come from District 1. 00:28:56
Just kidding. 00:29:04
Yeah. 00:29:06
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement number 05012024, the Bullion Plaza Cultural Center and 00:29:08
Museum, Incorporated, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, We have 00:29:16
a motion and a second to approve these. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye aye. Thank you, Mr. Gentleman, Thank you. And I will 00:29:24
be happy to report this good news to our our former director, Tom Foster, who we hold deeply in our prayers and thoughts. 00:29:32
Perfect. And he does extend his best wishes to you so thank you again. Give him ours as well would you please? I certainly shall, 00:29:40
Sir. Yes, thank you. Thank you all right. Item 3 E Information discussion action to approve contract agreement number Ctr. 056376 00:29:50
with APIC Solutions incorporated in the amount of $883,968.45 for the purchase and. 00:30:00
Vulnerable access points and lack of encryption. The findings will allow the county to address these issues and improve the 00:31:16
security of its properties. 00:31:20
The assessment report is also identified certain issues that need to be addressed with a better functionality of the current 00:31:25
camera system. Report recommends a few measures that can be taken to address this issue and the outlined contract is intended to 00:31:34
do such. The Facilities and Land Management Department and in partnership with Information Technology Department recommended the 00:31:42
Board of Supervisors approve contract Agreement number Center 056376 with Apex Solutions in the amount of 800. 00:31:51
$83,968.45. 00:32:00
For the purchase and the implementation of the video surveillance system for hill accounting. 00:32:04
It is recommended to source funding is LATF. 00:32:11
And with that, I'd be happy to take any questions. Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:32:17
Well, I, I have a lot of questions, but I guess I don't really, it's just, you know, vandalism, you know, spending on almost 00:32:22
$1,000,000 to prevent vandalism is kind of. 00:32:28
Pretty steep hill for me, but we've got people vandalizing stuff and we can't see it happening. I guess on these on these cameras 00:32:35
and stuff or or videos. Is that possible for them to break these and things before they vandalize anything? I mean, it's there to 00:32:42
help us view places, but how vulnerable with these cameras be? 00:32:50
Yeah. OK. No further questions, Mr. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:33:32
I have a few. 00:33:38
Yes, Sir. So we're gonna start back with last week. 00:33:40
In our presentation, we went through all of our capital projects, proposed capital projects. 00:33:44
To the tune of having more projects than we have money. And when we talked about this particular subject, I didn't realize you 00:33:50
guys have already reached out for a contract with the company and a contract and all that. That wasn't discussed. But furthermore, 00:33:57
in that discussion, I thought we were going to take and prioritize our list of projects. 00:34:04
Obviously we haven't done that and so I'm kind of sitting there looking at this thinking it's not that cameras aren't important, 00:34:12
so I don't want anything get me wrong. 00:34:17
But the electric in this building is also important. 00:34:23
You know, and the conversation last week was is we may be looking at that full amount of money just to fix this building with our 00:34:28
electrical issues. 00:34:32
I. 00:34:39
Because we, I didn't realize it was already to that point. It's, it's almost like you guys have already prioritized projects 00:35:11
without ever getting in front of us. 00:35:16
And and I find that a little bit disturbing after our meeting last week. 00:35:22
I mean, it's us who's going to take the hits, and it's us who has to obligate the monies to fix our projects knowing we have more 00:35:27
projects than we have money. 00:35:31
And especially the week after we had a work session. 00:36:12
I'm just being honest on being up front, but that's what we're here for. We're not here to rubber stamp projects. 00:36:15
That literature, I'll let you have it. Thank you. So. 00:36:21
Joseph, is the bid that you've received have a time frame associated with it? 00:36:26
Chairman, Board of Supervisors, yes, it does. With that, I'd like to just bring a little bit of light to what you're saying 00:36:35
supervised requirement. I, I see where you're coming from for sure With that being said and and maybe we I didn't communicate it 00:36:41
very well on our last meeting is. 00:36:47
That was a. 00:36:54
A way that we can get that information from this team and we felt that we got the prioritization from that team and then we had 00:36:56
some deeper conversations to be able to see what is ready to execute in our top three. And unfortunately that's something that 00:37:03
that may I may not have communicated very effectively. So with that, we'd be happy to take a look at it. To answer your question, 00:37:09
Chairman. 00:37:16
With this being a state contract typically locks this into a price point. There have been several updates from the state contract 00:37:25
and those are increases in costs. We've been able to negotiate with this state contractor to hold this price after moving this 00:37:31
forward a couple of times. With that being said, if we move it forward again, we will be looking at a cost increase with this 00:37:37
project. 00:37:43
Mr. Chair, for me, please. Yeah, That goes with everything, though, Joseph. It's, it's no different with whatever project you 00:37:51
have, the longer it takes you to get it approved and and done. Where we face that risk, we face it with this building, you know, 00:37:57
we face it with a lot. But what I'm getting at is even though last week we had those discussions, somewhere along the way, it 00:38:04
already pushed through looking at a contract for this. This didn't happen in just a few days, I don't think. 00:38:10
For this these, these deals. So that's that's what really comes to light for me. And that's where I just say, hey, we need to time 00:38:18
out a minute back up. That's really take this serious and look at these prioritization 'cause we don't have enough money to go 00:38:24
around. We just don't. Roger that. Yes, Sir. 00:38:30
OK. Thank you. And so. 00:38:38
Is there on the schedule currently another work session regarding capital improvements? At this time there is not. I know the 00:38:42
administrative team, we've put together several of those lists, gotten some of the feedback. This will be one of the top three 00:38:48
recommendations. 00:38:54
So we're still refining that list. 00:39:02
Mr. O'Driscoll, you have something to add? 00:39:06
Gentlemen, members of the board, yeah, we're going to come in front of the board every three to four months to do capital project 00:39:10
updates as we have planned for the work sessions. And as far as this item goes, if the county manager agrees, we could obviously 00:39:16
table it absolutely and come back in front of the board for the next work session and. 00:39:22
You know, presented again as well if the county manager agrees. 00:39:29
I'm Mr. Chairman, I'm never supported at this point. I, I don't believe that we need another work session. We've discussed these, 00:39:37
we've discussed all these projects for a number of months. I believe that we just need to bring it to the board to take action and 00:39:44
say this is our #1 project and list the 8 projects in order of priority and have you vote on that priority list. Is that what I'm 00:39:50
hearing? Vote or change it or whatever. 00:39:57
A vote to say this is our number one priority as a county. This is number 23 and on down through eight to have you take a vote on 00:40:04
what the your priorities collectively as a board. 00:40:10
So is that what? 00:40:17
That's what I'm hearing your recommendation. Yeah, James, but it's it's Mr. Chair if I may, even a little bit more until than 00:40:19
that. It's like, okay, we take three projects like Joseph and Michael are kind of referring to. 00:40:25
Or all of them, however we want to do that and we say, OK, we can fund this, the 1st 123, whatever it is, but where are we going 00:40:33
after that? Are are we as a board going to reach out and look at bonding to go ahead and finish these projects? Or are we just 00:40:40
going to cut it off right there and hope for the best in the future? I mean, we, we need these discussions. I need these 00:40:47
discussions, Mr. Chairman, through our time, this is ongoing. It's, it's a matter of. 00:40:54
Every year there's going to be an allocation and appropriation in your. 00:41:02
Adopting to the budget, there will be an appropriation or an amount that's included for capital projects. 00:41:09
And as we continue on whether it's $1,000,000, two million, $3,000,000 that is budgeted, appropriated, we just continue as we go 00:41:16
on through future identifying what the priorities are and then? 00:41:23
Attacking them as we go through, if this is not once we run out of the 5 million in LITCF money, it's not like we're going to 00:41:32
stop, you're going to continue, we're going to continue to prioritize and continue to allocate appropriate. We continue. One of 00:41:38
the things that we've had the discussion since last week of saying, OK, these are the projects that were discussed either or 00:41:44
identified. Now let's go out and get grant dollars, additional grant dollars to pay for some of these things. So it's just a 00:41:51
continual exercise to identify what we need. 00:41:57
And go out and do the best you can to find grant dollars to help us and use our local dollars to the extent that we have to. And 00:42:04
is it potential that we could bond something? I, I really don't like that if it's a short term, something that's less than the 00:42:11
length of bond. If, if we have a bond that's 20 years, the asset or whatever we buy with that 20 year bond, it's got to last at 00:42:19
least 20 years. Otherwise we're. 00:42:26
It's it's not, it doesn't work in the math for me and the time frame of paying for something through its useful life at at a 00:42:35
minimum. Yeah, no, I see that, James. And I understand that fully. It's just that right now, you know, all of our money, our COVID 00:42:42
money, LATCF money, that's the last of the big money that we've had. You know, and going forward, I agree with the fact that we 00:42:50
ought to be chasing some grants to try and help with these other projects. 00:42:57
From from in house, from general funds, money like that. I'm not sure what we're going to what's going to be there. You know, I, I 00:43:05
have no idea right now, but. 00:43:09
So I, I just an exercise for me because I have the same questions that you do. And so I, I go through take the information that 00:43:14
was given to us last week and put up a spreadsheet of what does all this cost and where's the money come from. And all the 00:43:20
projects that we talked about, including the three million for the Swiss gear and electrical of this facility, we have enough 00:43:27
money except for if we include all of those projects we talked about last week, there's a million, a million up to a million and a 00:43:33
half. 00:43:39
Shortfall being that we'd have to come up with our own money of a million half dollars. I believe that we can get some grants to 00:43:46
cover that. And so with that 5 million we we can cover all of that. 00:43:52
We're short a million and a half dollars at this point. 00:44:01
With the potential that we could go out and get grants to cover that million and a half dollars. 00:44:04
Yeah. 00:44:13
Go ahead. 00:44:14
Totally OK with putting this and to be able to bring that and and we didn't, we did not look at the big picture and that's what we 00:44:17
need to do in that have that discussion. How does that just add up and. 00:44:24
And how does well? 00:44:32
Subaru Christensen, as you pointed out that we've got to get to the point of a deferred maintenance where we. 00:44:35
We've got huge costs that we've got a $2 billion cost for roof and HVAC at Central Heights 3,000,000 plus additional costs for 00:44:42
this building and we've got to get over over that hump. How do we do that? And that's a. 00:44:51
Part of the LATCF money that helps us to do that. 00:45:03
Mr. Chair, yeah, I just go back to the fact that last week's discussion in this building that we're sitting in right here and the 00:45:06
issues that are involved with that building. This building as you described, Joseph, is one. Me personally, I can't overlook. It 00:45:13
isn't just a matter if a camera doesn't work or whatever like that, but these lights go out and you can't find the part to fix it. 00:45:19
We're going to displace a lot of people real quick, and I don't think that needs to be. 00:45:26
Passed over. I think that's something that really, really, in my opinion needs to be addressed. And that's why I say, hey, let's 00:45:33
back up. Let's look at these priorities, whatever. How do you guys want to you want to roll it into the agenda with a list of what 00:45:39
you think is good and let us look at it and vote on them. I'm good with that, but we need some discussions on this. We really do. 00:45:45
Mr. Chairman, started Klein. Is there a? 00:45:53
Am I reading wrong of what your intentions of how we prioritize the projects? What was your what's your recommendation? How we 00:45:58
prioritize? We get this building behind us. As far as I'm concerned, we get this building fixed. I can work with the rest. 00:46:05
That's my priority. Priority. I mean, we're sitting here on something that goes down. We don't have the means readily available to 00:46:14
fix it more than likely. 00:46:19
And so to me, to have them to be without cameras for a little while longer or better cameras or whatever, that's fine. We can live 00:46:25
with that. 00:46:30
But we can't live with something happening to this building or we can't work in. 00:46:35
That's my opinion and that's that's why and we, and if you recall last week I asked, I think you specifically what's it going to 00:46:43
cost us if this thing shuts down for three or four days. 00:46:48
A lot. And it more likely won't be just for a short duration, they'll be for a pretty lengthy duration. 00:46:55
And Mr. Chairman, thank you. So I decline and to get that. 00:47:02
What the priorities are from each of you as a collective board is what we. 00:47:07
Need to have to act on and to put allocate the dollars based on your. 00:47:13
Home approval as a board. 00:47:19
Is why I think we need to bring it back to have you vote on those, that priority list. You know, I was proud of the list, James 00:47:21
and Joseph, Michael, everything on there's legit. Everything on that list is legit. I mean, we have big issues still at the 00:47:27
Fairgrounds. I mean, we have issues at Apache Blvd. We have, they're all legitimate issues, but we got to tackle it right. We 00:47:34
really do. 00:47:40
I'm done. OK, thanks. So what I'm hearing and I'll get, I'll ask you again if you have any more input. What I seem to be hearing 00:47:48
and I agree with is that we need a list presented to us in a risk assessment order. In other words, this should be number 1234 and 00:47:55
all of that. And we're going to come up short and we need to know what is, what we can sacrifice and what we can. And I think 00:48:03
that's a little bit of how we ended the meeting. 00:48:10
Last week, because Supervisor Klein did leave just before all that was discussed was that we would be presented with a list of the 00:48:18
priorities. And I think that is the main complaint here today. That's what I'm reading. So this is one of your recommended top 00:48:27
priority lists for the county and so. 00:48:35
I'm going to wait for a motion to see what direction we're going to go, but that's what I'm reading is that the supervisors need 00:48:45
to have a little more input on the situation as it exists today, right, supervisor? 00:48:52
Why would you say if a list comes to us of priorities, I understand priorities, but but why is it a priority? And, and I 00:49:00
understand that this building goes down, it's going to be a big crunch, but maybe we don't have a bid or something in place. 00:49:08
That's why we're putting something else further up the totem pole than than that. So with a priority list perhaps. 00:49:16
Why that's in in in the category that it is. And you know, maybe the electrical will be #5 that's OK. It's #5 it's just why is it 00:49:25
#5? 00:49:30
And and these seem to come up higher on the list I think would be helpful. 00:49:36
Just remember. 00:49:44
This chairman I. 00:49:46
Give a personal experience here of why this is a priority to me personally and. 00:49:50
That I was a finance director for Navajo County and, and there was an occasion where there was a court case, child custody case 00:49:58
and two women tragically lost their lives because they were shot because the the the result was an action by the courts that did 00:50:05
not make one person happy. And while the video cameras are not. 00:50:13
An end all to ensure the safety of employees and. 00:50:21
Constituents that use the courthouse, it is an important piece of the puzzle to help ensure safety. And so that that's why if 00:50:29
we're bringing this prematurely, there are reasons that we we have the security cameras and right now they are so poor that they 00:50:38
do not provide any safety or help to ensure any security to our employees or to residents that utilize our services. 00:50:48
So I that's that's if we jump the gun, it's my fault. But just possibly from a personal experience and tragedy that. 00:50:58
Being there at that courthouse at that time when two women tragically lost their life. 00:51:11
Is significant to me. 00:51:17
Mr. Chair, and I understand that, James. And I don't disagree with, like I said, all these projects are legitimate, every one of 00:51:20
them. But we only have the over $5,000,000 LATCF funds. We have more than that in projects. I know you said a million and a half, 00:51:28
but we got like 2.4 million waiting for us at the fairgrounds and and electrical, again, just to bring it up to standards to be 00:51:35
more adequate to rent out. And so we have $3,000,000 that's sitting on the table for this building. 00:51:43
We all agree Mr. Humphrey brought it up. He turned an old building in May, end up $10 million. We don't know. And so we just have 00:51:51
substantial projects and not enough money. 00:51:57
And so. 00:52:04
We are, Mr. Chairman, Sergeant Fine. We're working on a larger package bring to you in the future that will address some of these 00:52:07
more significant projects. 00:52:13
Yeah, we're we are working collectively to address the big picture. 00:52:20
OK, good. I'm good advise on her for you, OK. 00:52:27
Yeah, I'm fine. 00:52:33
Anymore to discuss, Michael at this time, but if the board so chooses to table this item, we'll make sure Joseph and I will sit 00:52:36
down and make sure that we be more specific on the list that we gave last week during the work session as far as the reasoning for 00:52:42
priority, you know, prioritizing each individual project. And we'll bring that in front of the board and we'll receive your 00:52:48
feedback and go from there. 00:52:55
Thank you and with that I will entertain a motion on item 3E. 00:53:02
You want to make the motion? Absolutely. I'll make the motion to table 3E until further notice or next meeting, whatever it is. 00:53:09
I'll second that motion and a second to table item 3E. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. OK, thank you. We'll proceed 00:53:21
that way. Thank you. 00:53:26
Item 3F Information Discussion Action to approve amendment #2 to Contract number 072721 Sub Grantee for Project Management Health 00:53:33
Disparities with wowza LLC to extend the contract term for one year from July 1, 2024 June 30th, 2025 and decrease the contract 00:53:42
amount by $175,000 for new. 00:53:50
With one year left in the grant, it didn't make sense to hire anybody new. We, the contractor, had run into some people at Arizona 00:54:36
State University that work out of the library that has a place called a makerspace, which is a fancy play way of saying have a 00:54:42
bunch of really cool technology stuff. 3D printer, cricket system. They can do sewing machines that hook up with software that you 00:54:48
can do print your own shirts. You can get wood blocks, vinyl cars and cuts into the materials. You can make all kinds of different 00:54:54
items. 00:55:01
So Long story short, we reached out to the school superintendents, the first one that I'm used to working with Miami school 00:55:07
districts that was really close with us. It's really easy to work with Doctor Dorothy to get kind of these pilot programs off the 00:55:12
ground. So we're going to be working with ours is going to be working with Miss Dorothy. They've got classroom or two set aside 00:55:18
for us or we're going to have all this 3D printing equipment, all the supplies, everything you can do to kind of bring technology 00:55:23
to the youth. 00:55:29
Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:56:08
Yeah, just just one question, I guess I think it's great to work with the youth. I think I think thank you very much for reaching 00:56:11
out, like I say, for some of this extra money and things that other departments aren't using, you're you're great at at getting it 00:56:17
to Hill County. I was just wondering about some thought in the themes of some of the prints that the students print on their 00:56:23
shirts. Would, would, would be a good idea to, you know, to not only give them the opportunity to print shirts, but but perhaps 00:56:29
come up with themes that are. 00:56:35
Beneficial to them in the community, yes. 00:56:42
That's all. OK, Professor Klein. I'm good, Josh. Thanks. Yeah, so am I. So thank you, Josh. I'll call for motion I move to approve 00:56:45
amendment #2 to contract number 072721 with WOWZALLCS presented. And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. Motion to approve and seconded. 00:56:55
Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Josh. Item 3G information, discussion action. 00:57:05
To approve amendment #2 to contract number 091521 Sub Grantee for Project Management Workforce Development Crisis Emergency 00:57:15
Cooperative Agreement Grant with Wowza LLC to extend the contract term for one year from July 1st, 2024 to June 30th, 2025 and 00:57:25
decrease the contract amount by 75,000 for a new contract amount not to exceed $200,000. Josh. 00:57:34
Thank you, Sir. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no question. Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you, Josh, and I'm good as well. Called 00:59:01
promotion. I'll make the motion to approve amendment #2 to contract number 091521 with Wells LLC as presented. I'll second that, 00:59:09
Mr. Chair. Great. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Josh. 00:59:17
Item 3H Information Discussion Action to approve amendment #3 Intergovernmental Agreement number 012621 with the Town of Miami to 00:59:26
extend the term for one additional year from in 1st 2024. 00:59:33
Through May 31st, 2025 and established the cost for Rd. grading at a cost of $99 per hour for the maintenance of Mackie Camp Rd. 00:59:40
Mr. Villa. Good morning Chairman, Board of Supervisors. So back on April 20. 00:59:48
April 20th of 2021, the board approved an agreement with the Town of Miami to provide maintenance for Mecca Camp Rd. We've been 00:59:59
extending this IGA over time. This is our third amendment and and our 4th year that we would be doing this. The work is to provide 01:00:07
routine grading of Mecca Camp Rd. that we were offered I believe 7 easements at the time. The road is partly in the Town of Miami. 01:00:16
There's 13180 feet inside the town limits and there's about 800 feet inside the unincorporated area of Heila County. 01:00:25
We have been maintaining this road. The complaint level has basically diminished to 0. The folks that live there are are happy 01:00:35
with that type of grading we're doing and we'd like to extend this for one additional year. 01:00:42
And so then that was one of those volley deals between Miami and county and whose is it and who's responsible. And so I think the 01:01:30
the road department very much for working this out so that we could get an IHBA with the town of Miami. And then we did get the 01:01:39
easements from the people that owned properties that this road is on to, to help those people that live there. So. 01:01:48
Thank you very much, Omar, for for bringing that to us today. 01:01:58
Supervisor. 01:02:03
So Mr. Humphrey, we're in the process of turning it into like a primitive Rd. agreement. Is that what you're saying or? No, We 01:02:04
just got permission to maintenance it. I'm not sure how often it's maintenance, but it's not very often. But I don't, I don't know 01:02:11
that we're going any further other than just working with the town of Miami to do their portion and our portion. We just have 01:02:18
easements to maintain. 01:02:24
OK. Is that correct? So the board approved the maintenance of that road. I don't recall if it was just affirmative Rd. I would 01:02:33
assume that it was just a primitive Rd. but I would have to check that. But that is in our list of maintained growth today and and 01:02:39
they maintain it under the town, the park that is in the town portion, we maintain it under this IGA. Gotcha. And that's where you 01:02:45
charge the $99.00 an hour and $99.00 an hour home. Now is that kind of the standard charge for is that, does that include the 01:02:52
operator in it? 01:02:58
Yes, that is the total cost except for material. We would bill them separately for material that is a charge for routine grading 01:03:05
and it includes the use of the equipment and and the and the labor was established four years ago. We get an opportunity to renew 01:03:12
this to create a new IGA and we'll be looking at the cost when we create the new IGA. I like this cost here, especially if it ever 01:03:20
comes out of my constituent funds anytime. So it's a good cost Homer. 01:03:28
So I'm I'm glad we're doing this to help Miami out. That's a good luck and it's needed. So thank you, Homer. 01:03:37
Thank you. And he asked the question I was going to ask, so we're good to go. We'll call for a motion. Mr. I move to approve 01:03:44
amendment #3 to Intergovernmental Agreement number 012621 with the Town of Miami as presented. And I'll second that motion. And 01:03:51
the 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye. Thank you, homeroom. Thank you. 01:03:59
Item 4A through J Consent agenda items. Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to remove one or more of the items for discussion and 01:04:08
voting separately? Mr. Chair, I choose to remove nothing from consent agenda item. Thank you. Supervisor Klein, same question. 01:04:17
I think I'm good. 01:04:27
And I will call for a motion on the consent agenda items. Mr. Chair, I'd make the motion to approve consent agenda items or A 01:04:29
through four J. I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. 01:04:37
Call to the public. Is there anyone here in Globe that wishes to speak? See anyone? Anyone in Payson? I don't see anyone. 01:04:45
And Cassandra, we're good to go. How many were on the Internet today? 01:04:55
33 Oh, that's pretty good, all right. 01:05:01
All right. So thank you. And we'll move on to item number six, which is presentations. 01:05:05
Henderson, we'll start with you. 01:05:11
This chair remembers the board was able to last week, end of last week, take a tour of the Hill Street School construction project 01:05:14
here in Globe that is coming along very well. They are doing sheetrock and taping, texturing some of the rooms, but it that is a 01:05:21
project to. 01:05:27
Create 64 new housing units for seniors, a lot of them, some of them are low income, so it's a great project. It will be a 01:05:35
beautiful building when it is completed and very excited about the prospect of 64 new housing units in this area. 01:05:44
Also, to maintain my license as a certified public Accounting accountant, I'm required to have 80 hours of continuing education. 01:05:54
Every time I have to renew my license with the Arizona State Board of Accountancy. And so this coming week I will be spending 01:06:05
several days going to going to class, going to school for accounting. That sounds thrilling and exciting, but a necessary evil, I 01:06:11
guess, to maintain certification. 01:06:17
As a CPA, that's it, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:06:24
Yeah, Do we do have that program to help employees further their education? 01:06:30
Are you, are you a part of that? I am very much I really. 01:06:37
OK. 01:06:42
OK, I'm up. You're up. OK, I did an interview with Fox 10 News on the bridge. It turned out pretty nice. Attended a district two 01:06:46
team meeting. Was on Kiko on Monday the 3rd at 9:30. 01:06:54
I I attended a meeting with Tri-City Sanitation District and Senator Kelly's staff yesterday, but the staff was really, really 01:07:04
late. So I I didn't get to make the meeting because they were several hours late and I had other obligations. 01:07:12
I'll hold a Tunnel Basin meeting this evening at 5, and a big hot topic with Donald Basin is the bridge opening. And the big 01:07:21
celebration for the bridge with all the speakers, the tents, the food trucks, all the stuff is on the 22nd, not the 17th. The 17th 01:07:31
construction may choose to open the bridge, but it will be closed for the our celebration on the 22nd. 01:07:41
So I know it's been in the paper and things have said that there's going to be a, a big deal on the 17th. There may like I say, 01:07:51
the contractor may open the bridge on the 17th and maybe just a little thing, but everything is on the 22nd as far as the tunnel 01:08:01
bridge ceremony goes. And then on Thursday, I will attend an animal control both of office ceremony. 01:08:11
I'm, I'm kind of looking forward to that because many, many, many years ago I've worked with animal control and so watching that, 01:08:21
that whole program get to where it is today with our new facility and everything, I'm, I'm happy that they asked me to be at that 01:08:29
ceremony for those animal control officers and that does it for me. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:08:36
So Saturday I attended a meeting in El Capitan. Had a meeting there at the property owners. It was a really good meeting. 01:08:46
And learned quite a bit more from them. And yesterday I was on Camel G radio with the county update, basically going over our 01:08:53
project list and everything from last week. I think it went really well. 01:08:59
Tonight, me and Kathy will be in Winkelmann at a ribbon ribbon cutting presentation on the new mural that's there at City Hall on 01:09:07
the on the building there. And so I'm really looking forward to that. And if I'm not mistaken, that mural is one of those payments 01:09:13
that was sitting in here. 01:09:18
So it's going to be a really cool deal there too. Next Tuesday on the 11th, I'll be participating on a panel at the Arizona 01:09:24
Workforce Summit in Flagstaff Office of Economic Opportunity. And who knows beyond that, I don't, I'm not sure. So thank you, Mr. 01:09:31
Chair. Thank you, Supervisor. I don't have a lot to report right now. I have another meeting at 2:00. So I really appreciate 01:09:37
everybody kind of helping move everything along today. Kind of a light agenda that's that's good to have every once in a while, I 01:09:43
will say on Thursday. 01:09:50
The, there's going to be a meeting about the Highway 260 improvement. They call it the Lion Springs improvement because that's 01:09:57
where Lion Springs is, 3-4 miles. I can't remember. And so I'll probably go to that. That'll be at the. 01:10:05
Patient campus there of the Gila Provisional College. What day was that again? I got that invite Thursday, Thursday this Thursday 01:10:15
the 6th at 4:00. So we need Delon posted. 01:10:20
Thank you. OK, great. So it looks like. 01:10:27
We'll have myself and others there and so get an idea on that. That's been a very long coming project. 01:10:30
Delayed, put off and everything so. 01:10:39
Yes, Sir. Mr. Chairman, my own Springs project, the design architect and engineering has been done for that this year. They're 01:10:44
working on acquisition of right away and it's scheduled to start construction in 25. So the meeting is to give an update and and 01:10:51
apprise everybody of where the project is at and that it is going forward. So a great project to widen that from 2 lanes to four 01:10:58
lanes for that last little bit that it's a bottleneck getting into pace and Star Valley. 01:11:06
It is. And just to let everyone know, that's a state project, not a county project. Mr. Chair, if I may, though, doesn't the 01:11:13
county have money in this project? 01:11:17
OK 'cause. 01:11:22
Yeah, For some reason I was thinking we did, but it's good to hear that we don't, so that's good. Whatever. State highway, state 01:11:26
money, OK. 01:11:31
I need it a long time. Yeah, absolutely. OK. 01:11:36
I'll just say thank you for going because. 01:11:40
When Steve Scott was on the date off board, they kept pushing this project down down. 01:11:44
Showed under the carpet, but by increased presence from you as a Board of Supervisors that demonstrated the importance of that 01:11:51
project. And that's why I got elevated and is succeeding and moving forward to this point. So appreciate your support of the board 01:11:56
to ensure that it keeps moving forward. 01:12:02
So I'd I'd have to say that that that is our input that we said we really need it. So and it is, it's a terrible bottleneck and 01:12:08
it's kind of dangerous right through there. So there's been people die right through that area leaving the road. 01:12:15
OK. So if there's nothing else, then I will during the meeting. Thank you. 01:12:23
