As far as agreements, no. As far as communications and being tied in with them. 00:13:23

So this agreement is just to formalize a partnership that we've had that's been more of a handshake deal for several years between 00:13:32

Memorandum of understanding we're going to do, we're going to provide these things to you. You're going to make sure that your 00:13:48
people that are accessing the system are held accountable if they do something they shouldn't. 00:13:53
And it dawned on us recently when we had an issue that we needed to be much clearer and had a much have a much better agreement. 00:13:59
So like any good relationship, clearly defined expectations are important. So Carrie set out to create this agreement to make it a 00:14:07
a much more encompassing and understanding agreement versus what we had before. But this doesn't change any of the the connections 00:14:14
that they have. 00:14:22

1.2. 00:18:37
Million for general fund salaries and employee related expenses. Good morning, Marin. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning 00:18:43
Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. We discussed this briefly when you adopted the tentative budget and we wanted to bring you 00:18:52
some details so that you and all the staff are aware that we are proposing a base 3% salary increase for all regular status non 00:19:00
elected county employees or a $2080 salary increase for those. 00:19:09
Who would for whom? 3% would be that or less. This does not. 00:19:18
Applied this 2080 dollars does not apply to those covered by a STEP program. A STEP program employees would receive the 3% so that 00:19:24
the steps remain 2 1/2% apart as originally adopted by the Board of Supervisors. There are elected official salary adjustments 00:19:34
that are statutory that will occur in January and we are also requesting an additional 2% capacity for merit based pay increases. 00:19:44
In January 2025 and you can see in the chart here that we expect the July 2024 implementation to include 765,399 and $0.39 in 00:19:55
general fund salaries, $376,987.76 in special revenue salaries and anticipated employee related costs to go with those of 00:20:05
$301,846.12. 00:20:16
For a total of 1,444,000, which is well within the 1.2 million that we are requesting for the general fund maximum. 00:20:27
Thank you, Marin. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions, Mr. Chair. 00:20:42
Supervisor Klein. 00:20:47
Where is that going to bring us Marin, as far as bringing our salaries up compared to inflation today? Are we close? So we are 00:20:50
familiar with the inflation rate that the Feds are using to implement in Social Security and other areas and that is right around 00:20:57
3.6%. Most of the people receiving the 2080 dollars are getting closer to a 6% raise. 00:21:04
Because of how it shakes out with their salaries and with this, the minimum salary for our current staff be 17,000 or $17.24 an 00:21:13
hour, which is 35,864. 00:21:20
Compared to our overall minimum hourly wage for that very beginning point, and we don't have anyone at that currently, would be 00:21:28
1550. 00:21:33
And how many people do we have in a step program? Do you know off top of your head? 00:21:39
I did. That knowledge may not have stayed in my head. I believe it's about 150. I'd have to look for sure. I can e-mail each of 00:21:45
the supervisors administrative staff with that information. 00:21:52
Thank you. Thank you, supervisor. I'm here. I have a question. So on the 2080 dollars approximately. 00:22:01
How many employees would that be? 00:22:10
It's about 2/3 we'll receive that that increase. Wow, OK, that's that's a significant. 00:22:13
Right, right. And we have, we have 600 budgeted positions, not all of them are full. So this would, this does a good job in taking 00:22:23
care of the vast majority of our staff and it also ensures that it more than covers any increase our staff would have experienced. 00:22:33
In the increases for health insurance premiums. 00:22:44
OK. And then I'm confused. Your numbers I'm sure are impeccably perfect, but I don't know, it says 1.444 million and we have a 1.2 00:22:49
million. What's the difference? So the 1.2 million? 00:22:57
Is the maximum that the general fund could absorb. The 1.4 includes those special revenue funds. We have 33 general fund 00:23:04
departments and 75 special revenue fund departments. So because we base the 1.2 on. 00:23:12
Next year's increased property tax levy based on the increased value of properties. We, we chose to present this to you as not 00:23:20
exceeding that amount so that you and our constituents can be assured that it is a sustainable ongoing source of revenue and not 00:23:28
one time money where you'll have to come up with another resource next year. Very good. Thank you for all your work. That's all I 00:23:35
have. If there's nothing else, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to adopt. 00:23:42
The proposed physical Year 2025 salary plan as presented. 00:23:51
Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that I have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you Marin. And next 00:23:55
we have item rejay information discussion action to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Healthgate Fire Department 00:24:03
whereby Gila County Government will sell 9 vehicles is listed in the IGA to the Healthgate Fire Department for the price of $1.00 00:24:10
each. Parents. Yes. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor, fine. 00:24:18
The Healer County Sheriff's Department and the Hellgate Fire Department collaborated on this particular item. Hellsgate Fire needs 00:24:26
old vehicles that don't have any value to them to use for training purposes. Their training class is at the end of this month and 00:24:36
we we'd like to bring you this today. These are surplus vehicles from the impound yard that have no tangible value to. 00:24:46
The county and only the Board of Supervisors has the ability to. 00:24:56
Let go of surplus. 00:25:03
Assets. So we are here this morning to ask you to. 00:25:05
To rehome these two Hell's Gate at a cost of $1.00 each. 00:25:10
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:14
I have no questions, Supervisor Klein. So these are for training purposes. 00:25:17
I suspect that means they'll be setting them on fire using Jaws of Life. The various things that you can't you can't learn in a 00:25:24
classroom that you need the hands on experience. 00:25:28
After this is done right, the thick and cold beer. 00:25:35
Thank you, Mary. 00:25:42
Yes, thank you. And I think it's important to know that these vehicles may not have, they may have more than $1.00 value, but. 00:25:45
In working with some of our other people in Gila County, other agencies. 00:25:54
ETC, That this becomes a valuable thing for them rather than trying to capture whatever minimal amount that they would actually 00:26:00
auction off for, right? They are not currently operational vehicles, right? OK. All right. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. 00:26:08
Chair, I'll make the motion to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Hellscape Fire Department as presented. 00:26:15
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Mary. Thank 00:26:23

were not going to meet our salaries. And thank you for the increases. That's great. But the grants don't always look at the 00:28:41
increases for us. And actually we went back to the Department of Health Services and they were actually very diligent in looking 00:28:49
at what we were needing in the upcoming years if they wanted us to continue. 00:28:57
WIC services in Houma County and it's absolutely a vital program. So they did come back to the table and they brought this with 00:29:04
some more employee related money so that we can pay our employees and continue to give them the raises that you're so graciously 00:29:12
approved. So we ask that you approve this so that we can pay our staff members. OK, great. Thank you. It's a pleasure, Humphrey. 00:29:20

information discussion action to approve an IGA agreement between Hino County and the Arizona Department of Forestry. 00:31:33
And fire management for an effective term of 10 years from the date signed. Good morning, Carl Morning, Chairman and members of 00:31:42
the board. So this is an agreement between Healer County and the Department of Forestry and Fire Management that kind of gives us 00:31:50
a framework to an existing process. This IGA is uniform and is going to all of the counties in the state. The primary purpose of 00:31:57
the IGA is to make us eligible for reimbursements through the fields exceeding the Fire Management assistance grants through FEMA. 00:32:05
During the wildfire, so if the county is supporting in any way, shape or form whether it be through evacuations, notification, 00:32:13
actual wildfire response, we are eligible for reimbursement for those services provided. Couple other highlights from this 00:32:21
agreement is that DFFM will support in wildfire not only surrounding Healing County, but wildfire that originates on county land 00:32:29
and can also support all risk emergencies. 00:32:36
And also the same route for if DFM is requesting assistance from HeLa County, we can provide that assistance now with the 00:33:20
framework established that allows us to be reimbursed for that assistance. 00:33:25
With that short and sweet, I'm done. So any questions for me? OK. Thank you. Supervisor Humphrey? Yeah. Who initiated this IGA? 00:33:32
This was initiated by DFM. Oh, OK. Good. Yeah. No. Thank you very much for all you do for emergency services. Of course. Thank 00:33:39
you, Supervisor Klein. Carl, thanks and extend my thanks to DFFM. I think I see it is a good thing. I just hope we never have to 00:33:45
use it. 00:33:52
This is wood, right? Yeah, that's wood. So, Carl. 00:34:01
House DFSM looking after the budget crisis the state is going through. They still got money. Well, the money specifically outlined 00:34:08
in this IGA would come from a fire management assistance grant. But I mean, like a lot of government response agencies, they are, 00:34:15
they will continue to move on regardless of the the challenges that they face. But of course, financial challenges have impacted 00:34:23
them. They've also impacted Emergency Management on a large scale throughout the state. 00:34:31
But they're they're getting by as we are. 00:34:40
Thank you, Carl. Yes, Sir. Mr. Chairman, in the state budget for this year, it did include about $35 million for a little bit more 00:34:43
closely or clearly defined programs and projects related to what D FM, DF FM does. So there is money in the budget. Actually this 00:34:51
year, even amidst the state's financial woes, there's money for projects, so. 00:34:59
OK. Thank you for that. All right, if there's nothing else, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the 00:35:07
Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management intergovernmental agreement as presented. 00:35:13

Associates. 00:38:10
To prepare, prepare environmental documents for four material pits that are located on the Tonto National Forest. It includes 00:38:18
Braddock, Ramirez, Castle Dome and the 824. They're kind of spread out around the county. 00:38:26
The Forest Service is pitching in 165,000. The county would have to pitch in approximately 113,000. The total amount is 279,000, 00:38:34
so this is a request to approve that contract. 00:38:42
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, No, I appreciate working with them in the Forest Service. Working. Now let's get those 00:38:50
material pitched to help with all our roads. That's that's good. Thank you, Tom. 00:38:55
Thank you. And Supervisor Klein, Tom, any estimation on how long that process is going to take? It's about 520 calendar days. So 00:39:03
there's quite a bit of work they have to do. But yeah, it's it's that's what they're estimating. All right, thank you. 00:39:11
Thank you, Tom. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve contract agreement number Ctr. 00:39:19

With Kimberly Horn and Associates incorporated as presented. 00:39:31
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion to approve in second. All those in favor say aye. 00:39:34
Aye, aye, Thank you. And we want to item 3 Q information discussion action to declare portion of out all lane not necessary for 00:39:41
public use and direct staff to begin the process to extinguish a portion of outlawing as shown on exhibit A. Good morning, Romero. 00:39:50
Good morning board. This item is about extinguishing an easement for a portion of our floor lane that get in at Central Creek. 00:40:00
Out on Lane was granted to Hilda County, is the County Dirt Rd. easement and it's in Dehuga County Maintenance. 00:40:11
System, we maintain it today. You can see the map up on the screen. There's five partials that are basically petitioning for that 00:40:16
portion that's highlighted to be no longer maintained by the county. It will be a private ingress egress easement that they will 00:40:24
grant to each other, to their heirs and to their signs in perpetuity. It would allow public emergency vehicles to enter that to 00:40:32
enter that area as well. It it would allow for whatever. 00:40:40
The state requires for utilities to be granted based on this easement. We have a simple agreement that was prepared by our County 00:40:48
Attorney Jeff Dalton previously that we have shared with them that captures all of this. They would be responsible for the 00:40:54
maintenance of the road and the liability of the road as well. And, and they seen that type of a document. We haven't asked them 00:41:01
to sign it yet. First, we would like to come and ask the board to declare a portion of Outlaw Lane not necessary for public use 00:41:07
and direct staff to begin the process. 00:41:13
To extinguish a portion of Outlaw Lane as shown on the Exhibit A, which is on the screen right now. 00:41:20
Thank you, Mayor. Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah. Thank you, Homero, for working on this. I know it's kind of a can of worms because 00:41:26
then as people, if they decided to split some of that property, then there would have been no access for new owners or if it was 00:41:34
to sell. So thank you very much for working on this to make it their responsibility as they go forward for appeasement and access. 00:41:41
So thank you very much, Supervisor Clue. I'm good. Thank you, Omar. Yes, Thank you, Humira. Without a call from Motion. 00:41:49
Mr. Chair, I move to the Vera portion, Outlaw Lane and not necessary for public use, and direct staff to begin the process to 00:41:57
extinguish a portion of Outlaw Lane. 00:42:01
As shown on exhibit A and Mr. Cheryl second that motion in the second to approve those in favor say aye aye aye aye and three are 00:42:07

purchase of both fuel and lubricants or enough to exceed the amount of $1.2 million. 00:42:34
Thank you, Chairman. 00:42:44
Did we do this every year? We don't quite spend. We didn't quite spend 1.2 million last year. We spent something like $850,000 on 00:42:47
this contract. Nonetheless, we are asking for a total contract amount for the next fiscal cycle to to be $1.2 million. They use an 00:42:55
oil price information system that is a commodity price that used worldwide and then they attached to it their cost to deliver 00:43:02
their profits etcetera on top of that. 00:43:09
That that it remains the same from last year. And with that, we would like to ask you to extend the term of the contract for one 00:43:17
additional year from July 19th, 2024 to July 18th, 2025 for the purchase of both fuel and and and lubricants. Not for an amount 00:43:24
not to actually. 1.2 million questions. Very good. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions. Supervisor client. Well, Meryl, is 00:43:31
this the last year on that contract or I would have to check? I'm not I'm not certain that normally they have a three-year, 00:43:38
three-year extension. 00:43:45
So we could have another year that we could use this. I'm just curious. It seems like this was about the only company that even 00:43:53
wanted to bid on it. So I just curious. Thanks. Thank you. Helero. Without alcohol promotion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to 00:44:00

U information discussion, action to approve amendment #4. 00:47:34
Number Center 050894 with Janice Irvine incorporated to extend the contract for an additional year. 00:47:42
For the term of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 and increase the contract amount to $276,148.10 to provide janitorial services for 00:47:51
both the southern and northern regions of Gila County. Good morning. We have Melissa. Good morning, Chairman, Board of 00:48:00
Supervisors. I'm presenting amendment #4 to State Contract Ctr. 050894 with Janiserve for janitorial services for both southern 00:48:09
and northern regions of Gila County. 00:48:18
This amendment extends the contract term for additional year. Additionally, it increases the contract amount by $16,584.11, 00:48:28
bringing the total to $276,148.10. This adjustment accounts for the 1.5% CPI increase for the year 2025. 00:48:40
Facilities and Land Management Department and staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve amendment #4 to contract Ctr. 00:48:52
050894 with Janice Serve. The extension will cover the period from July 1, 2024 to June 30th, 2025 and will provide janitorial 00:49:00
services for both southern and northern Gila County. 00:49:08
I'd be happy to answer any questions. Oh, thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:49:16
Just one question, when will this come back up? Forbid do we bid that out? 00:49:21
I can verify and get back to you on that. 00:49:29
OK, thank you very much. No further questions, Mr. Chair. OK, thank you, Supervisor Klein. I think I'm good. Thank you, Melissa. I 00:49:36
I have one question. So who? 00:49:40
And you may not be able to answer this. So who holds this firm accountable for the quality of work that you do or don't do? 00:49:46
That would be facilities, yes. 00:49:55
So facilities and specs to make sure. 00:49:59
That they're doing, they're they're cleaning. They're not just in and out in one minute. 00:50:04
I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I'm just saying I have heard people say it's some things are not cleaned at a level they should 00:50:10
be supervisors with that we always have audit control connection with the contractor. We do that. 00:50:20
Through consistent meetings and also providing them feedback when we get feedback from the customer. 00:50:30
So as an example, if one of the facilities say TCM was not getting the service, we need to say it's not getting mocked properly. 00:50:37
We identify that, see if the symptom that's just an outlier or consistent and then we work with the contractor to rectify it or 00:50:45
fix it. OK, So if something is observed, they would report to you or do facilities. 00:50:52
All the same. Yes, Sir. OK, All right, great. 00:51:02
That's all I have, so I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to approve amendment #4 to contract number Center 050894 with 00:51:06
Janiserve Incorporated as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say 00:51:13
aye. Thank you. OK, next we have item 3V. You're right. We made it through this in record time. Got almost the whole alphabet in 00:51:20
there. 00:51:27
And the shorter the agenda, the more dangerous. So Item 3, the information discussion action approved the US Department of 00:51:35
Agricultural Agricultural Forest Service special use permit regarding the Crouch Mesa radio tower site with the Terminal National 00:51:42
Forest, Young Arizona for the purpose of providing a better communication system. Supervisor Klein. Thank you, Mr. Chair, so this 00:51:49
is. 00:51:56
Just to bring everybody up to date on this one, this is a. 00:52:04
Tower that sits just on the east side of Pleasant Valley, up on top of a mountain right there. And really what it was was a 00:52:07
microwave tower that was tied into the Vet Center when it was an admin site for telephone services to time and point. And then it 00:52:14
went on from there. Anyway, during all the change and whenever they vacated that site or that admin site, that became no longer 00:52:20
needed for the Forest Service. So in 2019, Tim Scott came to me and had an interest from the Sheriff's Office side to to get ahold 00:52:27
of that tower. 00:52:34
So they can put additional repeater on there for better coverage and so forth. It's not a big tower. It's only about 20 feet tall. 00:52:41
Really good place though. And so we started the process back then looking into getting a special use permit from the Forest 00:52:47
Service to use that tower and. 00:52:54
The Forest Service doesn't want it. They didn't want it, but because it was really, really low on their priority list, that 00:53:01
process just set stagnant for all these years and would put in again. They'd lose the application and we'd go back and forth 00:53:08
anyway. Finally they've gotten a permit together to do that. I have 3 entities right now that are interested in this tower. 00:53:16
Sheriff's Office being the 1st, the local fire department being the 2nd, and then local emergency. 00:53:24
Ham radio group being a third and that's the progress I told him would would follow to see what we could put on that tower. So 00:53:32
with that. 00:53:37
Umm, the Sheriff's Office has been notified that they can start taking a look at it and see what it's going to take. There's no 00:53:43
electric, it just sits there on the mountaintop by itself. So whatever they run would have to be off of a solar panel, and that's 00:53:48
what the feds back. 00:53:54
Quite a while back SO. 00:53:59
It should provide a lot of extra coverage for the fire department and the Sheriff's Office and then also provide some coverage for 00:54:02
that emergency him group. 00:54:07
That are taking questions. OK, supervisor yeah, just one will will that availability be a lease or donation to these people that 00:54:12
want to use? Well, I think that that would be up to us. How are we going to do that? But you know, Sheriff's Office, fire 00:54:19
department, emergency hand group. 00:54:26
Go either way but. 00:54:33
We're not going to have anything as far as. 00:54:35
US associated with this tower at all and I believe it will fall under the facilities side of things is what it'll fall into so. 00:54:39
Does that help? 00:54:50
Yeah, that, that's fine. That that's an unknown answer at this time. It's just getting the agreement with the poor service. So 00:54:51
thank you, ask and answer. Thank you, Mr. Chair, That's all I have. OK. I don't really have any questions. So with that, I'll call 00:54:56
for a motion. 00:55:01
OK, so I'll make the motion to approve the US Department of Agriculture for Service Special use permit regarding the Crouch Mesa 00:55:08
Radio tower site with the Tunnel National Forest in Young. 00:55:15
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. We're on 00:55:22
to Item 4, consent agenda action items. Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to remove all, not all, any or a few or whatever you 00:55:30
want from items 4A through I I am fine the way it is, Mr. Chair. Thank you. OK. Thank you for getting my words out. I'll ask you 00:55:37
the same question. Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. OK, so then. 00:55:45
I'll call for a motion on items 4A through I. 00:55:54
Mr. Chair, I move to approve consent agenda items for a through 4I and I will second that. And we have a motion to 2nd to approve 00:55:56
those in favor say aye, great, Rhonda. Item number 5, which is a call to the public and we always call this at the at the end of 00:56:05
our meetings. So public is able to address any things that they like to talk about, but we won't be able to discuss and vote on 00:56:13
anything that's not specifically identified on the agenda. 00:56:21
Call for the public here in the Globe Room. Anyone wish to speak? No. How about Payson and Cassandra? Anyone there? How many do we 00:56:30
have on the Internet today? 32, Thank you very much. All right, I'll then move on to item number six and this will be our manager 00:56:39
and supervisor's report. We'll start with Manager Manlove. 00:56:48
This Chairman, members of the board, thank you. Last Tuesday after our board meeting did have a couple of conversations with Patty 00:56:59
Carr from Washington, DC One of those was Tri-City Regional Sanitary District had a discussion about the the needs that are 00:57:06
ongoing there and they're significant. 00:57:13
But they are continuing to pursue and move forward with the Tri-City Regional Sanitary District. Secondly, we went out to Russell 00:57:21
Rd. and didn't walk the whole 1 1/2 mile of that road that has been washed out, but did go see the results of the flooding from 00:57:29
Telegraph Fire and the need for pushing that project forward. We do have $1,000,000 Spark grant from the State of Arizona to do 00:57:37
design and engineering for redevelopment of the Russell Rd. 00:57:45
Well, that's a great thing. Good start for us that we've been able to secure that funding from the state of Arizona. 00:57:54
And then finally, as copper is so important to the county and region, we did didn't go down and went up to resolution copper and 00:58:00
Oak Flats and took a site visit to what's up there on on top of their, where they're doing their mining operations and their. 00:58:09
And then go down into the mine because they're not doing chores right now. But it's impressive and, and and quite the operation to 00:58:19
gain a better understanding of what it takes and what it actually is going to entail with that. 00:58:26
Finally yesterday Spelling and I were on Kmart radio up in Payson and I believe had a a good visit there talking about the budget 00:58:34
for fiscal year 2425. 00:58:40
That's my report, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Thank you very much, and Supervisor Humphrey. 00:58:46
Attended District 2 project team meeting on the 26th. Attended a candidate forum on June 26th. Was on KIKO on July 1st. 00:58:53
9:30 in the morning. We'll hold a tunnel. Based in community meeting tonight at 5. 00:59:08
Also is it a Central Arizona government meeting who is working as a go between with ADEQ on the plant for Tri-City on public 00:59:16
awareness? And that's just tag making people aware of the plant and the design of the plant, the location of the plant, things of 00:59:25
that nature. And it went a little bit S with people warning questions from Tri-City and that wasn't the purpose of the meeting. 00:59:34
The purpose of the meeting was just public awareness for the plant itself, none of the functions of Tri-City. 00:59:43
And also to staff will hold a meeting tonight because I've already scheduled and scheduled it monthly, my Connovation meeting for 00:59:54
the GEICO Road to update because this is the earliest that we could have done it. I had an earlier meeting with the residents of 01:00:03
Garcia when the road and the double chip seal that we subcontracted taxes for it failed. 01:00:13
Miserably and so it's been a real difficult situation since then and so where I noticed that homeroom was really diligently on his 01:00:23
deal. So I'm sure we're still working out things for the meeting tonight. And so if I can convince the people in in Tunnel Basin 01:00:30
that I don't need to be there for the full meeting, I'm probably going to run out of that and try to make with staff and the guy 01:00:38
Selah meeting this evening. 01:00:45
And other than that, that's about all I have. Thank you. 01:00:53
Thank you supervisor, supervisor client. Sorry so. 01:00:56
I've been talking about that PBS project with APS and I've been working with Forest Service and APS. 01:01:02
To try and mitigate. 01:01:11
That power shut off and so on the 26th. 01:01:14
Me and APS, the Forest Service didn't go with us because they couldn't get their prior approvals. But anyway, we flew the Preacher 01:01:19
Canyon leg. It's Preacher Six, I think is what they called it. And we flew that line and videoed that line in the places that were 01:01:26
the worst that, well, not the worst, but that needed to. 01:01:32
The attention the most I should say the APS, you know you guys can all visualize a power line. Well APS is right away is 10 feet 01:01:39
from the center of that power line each way. That's all they got 20 foot wide power line. So that's less than the width of this 01:01:45
room down through there. 01:01:52
Well, that's fine, except your trees are 100 and 2000 and 50 feet high above that, you know, and so they're well within range of 01:01:59
hitting that power line. And, and So what their biggest issue is, is where access is the worst, that's where they really want to 01:02:07
get in and try and work and mitigate those right aways, meaning they want to make sure they're 20 feet is clean, but then any 01:02:14
problem trees outside of that. 01:02:22
You want to take them down, and I want them to. That'd be a good lick. So there was some access that went to parts of that line 01:02:29
that apparently washed out in the last, I don't know how many years, and nobody took really the initiative or whatever to go back 01:02:35
and fix it. 01:02:41
So when we got done with the flight, we took pictures of all that got done with the flight and sat back down and visited with the 01:02:48
Forest Service. And looks like what's going to happen first is they're going to be able to go back in and reopen those routes into 01:02:53
their power lines where they need it the worst and then start working on on their right of ways and some of those those trees 01:02:59
outside that right away. So I guess in. 01:03:04
Short way of saying that I think we're making progress. The one of the benefits right now is. 01:03:11
We have everybody that's involved in this process. 01:03:19
Has a need for it to happen. You know the Forest Service has a lot of projects along that power line that they can't pull off 01:03:24
because they can't secure the power line so they don't even want to address it. APS has that power shut off deal that they don't 01:03:30
really want to do. They want to keep the power on and keep making money and then I'm sitting there with a whole bunch of people 01:03:36
that don't want to see that power shut off either and so. 01:03:43
I think with that involved, I'm hoping that there's a way everybody's going to come to the table. 01:03:49
And work through any issues that there may be. And I can tell you one issue already is the threatening and endangered species 01:03:55
timeframes, the Mexican spotted owl, they can't get in there and do anything in some of those areas until September 1st. 01:04:03
And so. 01:04:12
They're going to have that to deal with, but that's a doable, doable problem. It can happen. So I'm really hoping that's going to 01:04:14
play out and it's going to work. I don't know that we'll ever get away from the threat of them flipping the switch, but if we can 01:04:20
lessen it, that'll be that'll be huge. And then on the 26th, I as well as Tim and and Kelly's here with us today. We were all in 01:04:26
that candidate forum and I thought that was a good deal. They put on a good deal there for that candidate form. A lot lot going on 01:04:32
that night, but it was good. 01:04:38
On the 27th, I attended a meeting in Round Valley and met with some folks in Christopher Creek and met with the public works staff 01:04:44
in Round Valley as well. And what it is, is there's a couple roads right there in the middle of lower Round Valley that we're 01:04:52
looking to take over maintenance on. So we're going over that. 01:04:59
Getting all that lined out and hopefully that'll that'll work out and come in front of us as a board to deal with that. 01:05:07
And that evening we attended the Wagon Wheel Fire Department meeting and Whispering Pines. That was real interesting. That's that 01:05:14
we we sat there and listened to their budgets and everything else. They they have a new chief who's very active and seems to be 01:05:20
doing a very good job, you know, and don't you? Yes, I do. Yeah. And so I was glad to be there that night and visit those folks as 01:05:26
well. 01:05:32
And then on the 3rd, which is tomorrow, I'll be attending the Copper Valley Independence Day Liberty Dinner, the Knights of 01:05:39
Columbus, and I'm supposed to speak about the Veterans Center in Young. They've asked me to come there and speak about that so. 01:05:47
That's my schedule. 01:05:55
OK, thank you. I don't have a lot to bring up today. I did listen to KMOG yesterday. I think James and Marilyn did an outstanding 01:05:57
job presenting how money is taken in, how it's spent, the reserves that we have and the conservative nature of our financial 01:06:07
status. I believe Huma counties in great shape. We never have enough money, but we are. 01:06:16
Using very sound judgment in our finances. And so I appreciate all that you go through to manage that. And Marin, I don't know 01:06:28
honestly how you manage the. 01:06:34
Magnitude of finances that are involved here, but I thank you very much because you do a great job. 01:06:41
And I think the 4th of July is coming up. So I wish everyone to have a good day there, be safe. If I do my calculations right, 01:06:47
that should be 248 years. He wrote that document so. 01:06:55
Will be. I remember when it was 200. 01:07:03
The bicentennial and now it's coming up on 2:50 so, but I'm not getting any older. 01:07:07
That's all I have. If there's nothing else, I'll adjourn the meeting. Thank you. 01:07:14

United County Sheriff's Office in the final Apache tribe by and through the tunnel fashion tribe Police Department for access to 00:11:51
law enforcement related information systems and monetary. 00:11:57
Good morning, Good morning, Chairman Christensen and board members. I'm pleased to present the intergovernmental agreement IGA 00:12:04
between Gila County and the title Apache Tribe Police Department. This agreement facilitates connectivity between Tano Apache 00:12:10
Police Department and the county allowing seamless access to the Spillman module. Additionally, robust security measures have been 00:12:16
implemented to ensure both entities remain secure over the VPN connection. The IGA it will for the connectivity the tunnel Apache 00:12:22
Police Department. 00:12:29
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Is there any cost to us for this? No, Sir. OK. 00:13:08
No further questions, Mr. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Jerry, what have we done in the past, do you know? 00:13:16
As far as agreements, no. As far as communications and being tied in with them. 00:13:23
Call. 00:13:29
So this agreement is just to formalize a partnership that we've had that's been more of a handshake deal for several years between 00:13:32
these different agencies. We've in the past had kind of like a one page. 00:13:38
Memorandum of understanding we're going to do, we're going to provide these things to you. You're going to make sure that your 00:13:48
people that are accessing the system are held accountable if they do something they shouldn't. 00:13:53
And it dawned on us recently when we had an issue that we needed to be much clearer and had a much have a much better agreement. 00:13:59
So like any good relationship, clearly defined expectations are important. So Carrie set out to create this agreement to make it a 00:14:07
a much more encompassing and understanding agreement versus what we had before. But this doesn't change any of the the connections 00:14:14
that they have. 00:14:22
Or give them anymore or any less access to the system. 00:14:30
OK. Thank you. That's good. 00:14:36
OK, I don't have any questions, so I'll call for a motion. Mr. I move to approve an Arizona agreement with the Tonal factory 00:14:40
Tribes presented. 00:14:45

similar, just a different agency information discussion action to prove an IGA between Gila County for and on behalf of the Healer 00:14:58
County Sheriff's Office and the Town of Miami by and through the Town of Miami Police Department for access to law enforcement 00:15:05
related information systems. 00:15:12
And I would think, Terry, you could be more abbreviated with your presentation as we go through if you'd like to. Okay, Mr. 00:15:19
Chairman. 00:15:24
Can we address item 3G then? 00:15:32
Yes, right now, since I've already read it. 00:15:36
OK. 00:15:41
This is good morning again. So I'm this is an IGA agreement in our government agreement between Gila County and the. 00:15:43
Miami, the agreement facilitates activity between the town of Miami and the county for access for this film and mod for them. In 00:15:51
addition, it gives robust security measures to implemented to secure the over the VPN connections. So we can answer any questions. 00:15:58
OK, thank you. So supervisor, I have no questions Supervisor Klein and neither do I Thank you, Kerry. OK, so we're going to be 00:16:05
voting now on item 3G. Previous to that we voted on item 3E. 00:16:13
I got a little out of order here. So with that, I'll call for motion on item 3G. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve an 00:16:20
intergovernmental agreement with the Town of Miami as presented. 00:16:25

1.2. 00:18:37
Million for general fund salaries and employee related expenses. Good morning, Marin. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning 00:18:43
Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. We discussed this briefly when you adopted the tentative budget and we wanted to bring you 00:18:52
some details so that you and all the staff are aware that we are proposing a base 3% salary increase for all regular status non 00:19:00
elected county employees or a $2080 salary increase for those. 00:19:09
Who would for whom? 3% would be that or less. This does not. 00:19:18
Applied this 2080 dollars does not apply to those covered by a STEP program. A STEP program employees would receive the 3% so that 00:19:24
the steps remain 2 1/2% apart as originally adopted by the Board of Supervisors. There are elected official salary adjustments 00:19:34
that are statutory that will occur in January and we are also requesting an additional 2% capacity for merit based pay increases. 00:19:44
In January 2025 and you can see in the chart here that we expect the July 2024 implementation to include 765,399 and $0.39 in 00:19:55
general fund salaries, $376,987.76 in special revenue salaries and anticipated employee related costs to go with those of 00:20:05
$301,846.12. 00:20:16
For a total of 1,444,000, which is well within the 1.2 million that we are requesting for the general fund maximum. 00:20:27
Thank you, Marin. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions, Mr. Chair. 00:20:42
Supervisor Klein. 00:20:47
Where is that going to bring us Marin, as far as bringing our salaries up compared to inflation today? Are we close? So we are 00:20:50
familiar with the inflation rate that the Feds are using to implement in Social Security and other areas and that is right around 00:20:57
3.6%. Most of the people receiving the 2080 dollars are getting closer to a 6% raise. 00:21:04
Because of how it shakes out with their salaries and with this, the minimum salary for our current staff be 17,000 or $17.24 an 00:21:13
hour, which is 35,864. 00:21:20
Compared to our overall minimum hourly wage for that very beginning point, and we don't have anyone at that currently, would be 00:21:28
1550. 00:21:33
And how many people do we have in a step program? Do you know off top of your head? 00:21:39
I did. That knowledge may not have stayed in my head. I believe it's about 150. I'd have to look for sure. I can e-mail each of 00:21:45
the supervisors administrative staff with that information. 00:21:52
Thank you. Thank you, supervisor. I'm here. I have a question. So on the 2080 dollars approximately. 00:22:01
How many employees would that be? 00:22:10
It's about 2/3 we'll receive that that increase. Wow, OK, that's that's a significant. 00:22:13
Right, right. And we have, we have 600 budgeted positions, not all of them are full. So this would, this does a good job in taking 00:22:23
care of the vast majority of our staff and it also ensures that it more than covers any increase our staff would have experienced. 00:22:33
In the increases for health insurance premiums. 00:22:44
OK. And then I'm confused. Your numbers I'm sure are impeccably perfect, but I don't know, it says 1.444 million and we have a 1.2 00:22:49
million. What's the difference? So the 1.2 million? 00:22:57
Is the maximum that the general fund could absorb. The 1.4 includes those special revenue funds. We have 33 general fund 00:23:04
departments and 75 special revenue fund departments. So because we base the 1.2 on. 00:23:12
Next year's increased property tax levy based on the increased value of properties. We, we chose to present this to you as not 00:23:20
exceeding that amount so that you and our constituents can be assured that it is a sustainable ongoing source of revenue and not 00:23:28
one time money where you'll have to come up with another resource next year. Very good. Thank you for all your work. That's all I 00:23:35
have. If there's nothing else, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to adopt. 00:23:42
The proposed physical Year 2025 salary plan as presented. 00:23:51
Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that I have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you Marin. And next 00:23:55
we have item rejay information discussion action to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Healthgate Fire Department 00:24:03
whereby Gila County Government will sell 9 vehicles is listed in the IGA to the Healthgate Fire Department for the price of $1.00 00:24:10
each. Parents. Yes. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor, fine. 00:24:18
The Healer County Sheriff's Department and the Hellgate Fire Department collaborated on this particular item. Hellsgate Fire needs 00:24:26
old vehicles that don't have any value to them to use for training purposes. Their training class is at the end of this month and 00:24:36
we we'd like to bring you this today. These are surplus vehicles from the impound yard that have no tangible value to. 00:24:46
The county and only the Board of Supervisors has the ability to. 00:24:56
Let go of surplus. 00:25:03
Assets. So we are here this morning to ask you to. 00:25:05
To rehome these two Hell's Gate at a cost of $1.00 each. 00:25:10
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:14
I have no questions, Supervisor Klein. So these are for training purposes. 00:25:17
I suspect that means they'll be setting them on fire using Jaws of Life. The various things that you can't you can't learn in a 00:25:24
classroom that you need the hands on experience. 00:25:28
After this is done right, the thick and cold beer. 00:25:35
Thank you, Mary. 00:25:42
Yes, thank you. And I think it's important to know that these vehicles may not have, they may have more than $1.00 value, but. 00:25:45
In working with some of our other people in Gila County, other agencies. 00:25:54
ETC, That this becomes a valuable thing for them rather than trying to capture whatever minimal amount that they would actually 00:26:00
auction off for, right? They are not currently operational vehicles, right? OK. All right. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. 00:26:08
Chair, I'll make the motion to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Hellscape Fire Department as presented. 00:26:15
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Mary. Thank 00:26:23

were not going to meet our salaries. And thank you for the increases. That's great. But the grants don't always look at the 00:28:41
increases for us. And actually we went back to the Department of Health Services and they were actually very diligent in looking 00:28:49
at what we were needing in the upcoming years if they wanted us to continue. 00:28:57
WIC services in Houma County and it's absolutely a vital program. So they did come back to the table and they brought this with 00:29:04
some more employee related money so that we can pay our employees and continue to give them the raises that you're so graciously 00:29:12
approved. So we ask that you approve this so that we can pay our staff members. OK, great. Thank you. It's a pleasure, Humphrey. 00:29:20

And fire management for an effective term of 10 years from the date signed. Good morning, Carl Morning, Chairman and members of 00:31:42
the board. So this is an agreement between Healer County and the Department of Forestry and Fire Management that kind of gives us 00:31:50
a framework to an existing process. This IGA is uniform and is going to all of the counties in the state. The primary purpose of 00:31:57
the IGA is to make us eligible for reimbursements through the fields exceeding the Fire Management assistance grants through FEMA. 00:32:05
During the wildfire, so if the county is supporting in any way, shape or form whether it be through evacuations, notification, 00:32:13
actual wildfire response, we are eligible for reimbursement for those services provided. Couple other highlights from this 00:32:21
agreement is that DFFM will support in wildfire not only surrounding Healing County, but wildfire that originates on county land 00:32:29
and can also support all risk emergencies. 00:32:36
And also the same route for if DFM is requesting assistance from HeLa County, we can provide that assistance now with the 00:33:20
framework established that allows us to be reimbursed for that assistance. 00:33:25
With that short and sweet, I'm done. So any questions for me? OK. Thank you. Supervisor Humphrey? Yeah. Who initiated this IGA? 00:33:32
This was initiated by DFM. Oh, OK. Good. Yeah. No. Thank you very much for all you do for emergency services. Of course. Thank 00:33:39
you, Supervisor Klein. Carl, thanks and extend my thanks to DFFM. I think I see it is a good thing. I just hope we never have to 00:33:45
use it. 00:33:52
This is wood, right? Yeah, that's wood. So, Carl. 00:34:01
House DFSM looking after the budget crisis the state is going through. They still got money. Well, the money specifically outlined 00:34:08
in this IGA would come from a fire management assistance grant. But I mean, like a lot of government response agencies, they are, 00:34:15
they will continue to move on regardless of the the challenges that they face. But of course, financial challenges have impacted 00:34:23
them. They've also impacted Emergency Management on a large scale throughout the state. 00:34:31
But they're they're getting by as we are. 00:34:40
Thank you, Carl. Yes, Sir. Mr. Chairman, in the state budget for this year, it did include about $35 million for a little bit more 00:34:43
closely or clearly defined programs and projects related to what D FM, DF FM does. So there is money in the budget. Actually this 00:34:51
year, even amidst the state's financial woes, there's money for projects, so. 00:34:59
OK. Thank you for that. All right, if there's nothing else, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the 00:35:07

The Forest Service is pitching in 165,000. The county would have to pitch in approximately 113,000. The total amount is 279,000, 00:38:34

public use and direct staff to begin the process to extinguish a portion of outlawing as shown on exhibit A. Good morning, Romero. 00:39:50
Good morning board. This item is about extinguishing an easement for a portion of our floor lane that get in at Central Creek. 00:40:00
Out on Lane was granted to Hilda County, is the County Dirt Rd. easement and it's in Dehuga County Maintenance. 00:40:11
System, we maintain it today. You can see the map up on the screen. There's five partials that are basically petitioning for that 00:40:16
portion that's highlighted to be no longer maintained by the county. It will be a private ingress egress easement that they will 00:40:24
grant to each other, to their heirs and to their signs in perpetuity. It would allow public emergency vehicles to enter that to 00:40:32
enter that area as well. It it would allow for whatever. 00:40:40
The state requires for utilities to be granted based on this easement. We have a simple agreement that was prepared by our County 00:40:48
Attorney Jeff Dalton previously that we have shared with them that captures all of this. They would be responsible for the 00:40:54
maintenance of the road and the liability of the road as well. And, and they seen that type of a document. We haven't asked them 00:41:01
to sign it yet. First, we would like to come and ask the board to declare a portion of Outlaw Lane not necessary for public use 00:41:07
and direct staff to begin the process. 00:41:13
To extinguish a portion of Outlaw Lane as shown on the Exhibit A, which is on the screen right now. 00:41:20
Thank you, Mayor. Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah. Thank you, Homero, for working on this. I know it's kind of a can of worms because 00:41:26
then as people, if they decided to split some of that property, then there would have been no access for new owners or if it was 00:41:34
to sell. So thank you very much for working on this to make it their responsibility as they go forward for appeasement and access. 00:41:41
So thank you very much, Supervisor Clue. I'm good. Thank you, Omar. Yes, Thank you, Humira. Without a call from Motion. 00:41:49
Mr. Chair, I move to the Vera portion, Outlaw Lane and not necessary for public use, and direct staff to begin the process to 00:41:57

Thank you, Chairman. 00:42:44
Did we do this every year? We don't quite spend. We didn't quite spend 1.2 million last year. We spent something like $850,000 on 00:42:47
this contract. Nonetheless, we are asking for a total contract amount for the next fiscal cycle to to be $1.2 million. They use an 00:42:55
oil price information system that is a commodity price that used worldwide and then they attached to it their cost to deliver 00:43:02
their profits etcetera on top of that. 00:43:09
That that it remains the same from last year. And with that, we would like to ask you to extend the term of the contract for one 00:43:17
additional year from July 19th, 2024 to July 18th, 2025 for the purchase of both fuel and and and lubricants. Not for an amount 00:43:24

three-year extension. 00:43:45
So we could have another year that we could use this. I'm just curious. It seems like this was about the only company that even 00:43:53

Number Center 050894 with Janice Irvine incorporated to extend the contract for an additional year. 00:47:42
For the term of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 and increase the contract amount to $276,148.10 to provide janitorial services for 00:47:51
both the southern and northern regions of Gila County. Good morning. We have Melissa. Good morning, Chairman, Board of 00:48:00
Supervisors. I'm presenting amendment #4 to State Contract Ctr. 050894 with Janiserve for janitorial services for both southern 00:48:09
and northern regions of Gila County. 00:48:18
This amendment extends the contract term for additional year. Additionally, it increases the contract amount by $16,584.11, 00:48:28
bringing the total to $276,148.10. This adjustment accounts for the 1.5% CPI increase for the year 2025. 00:48:40
Facilities and Land Management Department and staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve amendment #4 to contract Ctr. 00:48:52
050894 with Janice Serve. The extension will cover the period from July 1, 2024 to June 30th, 2025 and will provide janitorial 00:49:00

I'd be happy to answer any questions. Oh, thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:49:16
Just one question, when will this come back up? Forbid do we bid that out? 00:49:21
I can verify and get back to you on that. 00:49:29
OK, thank you very much. No further questions, Mr. Chair. OK, thank you, Supervisor Klein. I think I'm good. Thank you, Melissa. I 00:49:36
I have one question. So who? 00:49:40
And you may not be able to answer this. So who holds this firm accountable for the quality of work that you do or don't do? 00:49:46
That would be facilities, yes. 00:49:55
So facilities and specs to make sure. 00:49:59
That they're doing, they're they're cleaning. They're not just in and out in one minute. 00:50:04
I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I'm just saying I have heard people say it's some things are not cleaned at a level they should 00:50:10
be supervisors with that we always have audit control connection with the contractor. We do that. 00:50:20
Through consistent meetings and also providing them feedback when we get feedback from the customer. 00:50:30
So as an example, if one of the facilities say TCM was not getting the service, we need to say it's not getting mocked properly. 00:50:37
We identify that, see if the symptom that's just an outlier or consistent and then we work with the contractor to rectify it or 00:50:45
fix it. OK, So if something is observed, they would report to you or do facilities. 00:50:52
All the same. Yes, Sir. OK, All right, great. 00:51:02
That's all I have, so I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to approve amendment #4 to contract number Center 050894 with 00:51:06
Janiserve Incorporated as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say 00:51:13
aye. Thank you. OK, next we have item 3V. You're right. We made it through this in record time. Got almost the whole alphabet in 00:51:20
there. 00:51:27
And the shorter the agenda, the more dangerous. So Item 3, the information discussion action approved the US Department of 00:51:35
Agricultural Agricultural Forest Service special use permit regarding the Crouch Mesa radio tower site with the Terminal National 00:51:42
Forest, Young Arizona for the purpose of providing a better communication system. Supervisor Klein. Thank you, Mr. Chair, so this 00:51:49
is. 00:51:56
Just to bring everybody up to date on this one, this is a. 00:52:04
Tower that sits just on the east side of Pleasant Valley, up on top of a mountain right there. And really what it was was a 00:52:07
microwave tower that was tied into the Vet Center when it was an admin site for telephone services to time and point. And then it 00:52:14
went on from there. Anyway, during all the change and whenever they vacated that site or that admin site, that became no longer 00:52:20
needed for the Forest Service. So in 2019, Tim Scott came to me and had an interest from the Sheriff's Office side to to get ahold 00:52:27
of that tower. 00:52:34
So they can put additional repeater on there for better coverage and so forth. It's not a big tower. It's only about 20 feet tall. 00:52:41
Really good place though. And so we started the process back then looking into getting a special use permit from the Forest 00:52:47
Service to use that tower and. 00:52:54
The Forest Service doesn't want it. They didn't want it, but because it was really, really low on their priority list, that 00:53:01
process just set stagnant for all these years and would put in again. They'd lose the application and we'd go back and forth 00:53:08
anyway. Finally they've gotten a permit together to do that. I have 3 entities right now that are interested in this tower. 00:53:16
Sheriff's Office being the 1st, the local fire department being the 2nd, and then local emergency. 00:53:24
Ham radio group being a third and that's the progress I told him would would follow to see what we could put on that tower. So 00:53:32
with that. 00:53:37
Umm, the Sheriff's Office has been notified that they can start taking a look at it and see what it's going to take. There's no 00:53:43
electric, it just sits there on the mountaintop by itself. So whatever they run would have to be off of a solar panel, and that's 00:53:48
what the feds back. 00:53:54
Quite a while back SO. 00:53:59
It should provide a lot of extra coverage for the fire department and the Sheriff's Office and then also provide some coverage for 00:54:02
that emergency him group. 00:54:07
That are taking questions. OK, supervisor yeah, just one will will that availability be a lease or donation to these people that 00:54:12
want to use? Well, I think that that would be up to us. How are we going to do that? But you know, Sheriff's Office, fire 00:54:19
department, emergency hand group. 00:54:26
Go either way but. 00:54:33
We're not going to have anything as far as. 00:54:35
US associated with this tower at all and I believe it will fall under the facilities side of things is what it'll fall into so. 00:54:39
Does that help? 00:54:50
Yeah, that, that's fine. That that's an unknown answer at this time. It's just getting the agreement with the poor service. So 00:54:51
thank you, ask and answer. Thank you, Mr. Chair, That's all I have. OK. I don't really have any questions. So with that, I'll call 00:54:56
for a motion. 00:55:01
OK, so I'll make the motion to approve the US Department of Agriculture for Service Special use permit regarding the Crouch Mesa 00:55:08
Radio tower site with the Tunnel National Forest in Young. 00:55:15
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. We're on 00:55:22
to Item 4, consent agenda action items. Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to remove all, not all, any or a few or whatever you 00:55:30
want from items 4A through I I am fine the way it is, Mr. Chair. Thank you. OK. Thank you for getting my words out. I'll ask you 00:55:37
the same question. Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. OK, so then. 00:55:45
I'll call for a motion on items 4A through I. 00:55:54
Mr. Chair, I move to approve consent agenda items for a through 4I and I will second that. And we have a motion to 2nd to approve 00:55:56
those in favor say aye, great, Rhonda. Item number 5, which is a call to the public and we always call this at the at the end of 00:56:05
our meetings. So public is able to address any things that they like to talk about, but we won't be able to discuss and vote on 00:56:13
anything that's not specifically identified on the agenda. 00:56:21
Call for the public here in the Globe Room. Anyone wish to speak? No. How about Payson and Cassandra? Anyone there? How many do we 00:56:30
have on the Internet today? 32, Thank you very much. All right, I'll then move on to item number six and this will be our manager 00:56:39
and supervisor's report. We'll start with Manager Manlove. 00:56:48
This Chairman, members of the board, thank you. Last Tuesday after our board meeting did have a couple of conversations with Patty 00:56:59
Carr from Washington, DC One of those was Tri-City Regional Sanitary District had a discussion about the the needs that are 00:57:06
ongoing there and they're significant. 00:57:13
But they are continuing to pursue and move forward with the Tri-City Regional Sanitary District. Secondly, we went out to Russell 00:57:21
Rd. and didn't walk the whole 1 1/2 mile of that road that has been washed out, but did go see the results of the flooding from 00:57:29
Telegraph Fire and the need for pushing that project forward. We do have $1,000,000 Spark grant from the State of Arizona to do 00:57:37
design and engineering for redevelopment of the Russell Rd. 00:57:45
Well, that's a great thing. Good start for us that we've been able to secure that funding from the state of Arizona. 00:57:54
And then finally, as copper is so important to the county and region, we did didn't go down and went up to resolution copper and 00:58:00
Oak Flats and took a site visit to what's up there on on top of their, where they're doing their mining operations and their. 00:58:09
And then go down into the mine because they're not doing chores right now. But it's impressive and, and and quite the operation to 00:58:19
gain a better understanding of what it takes and what it actually is going to entail with that. 00:58:26
Finally yesterday Spelling and I were on Kmart radio up in Payson and I believe had a a good visit there talking about the budget 00:58:34
for fiscal year 2425. 00:58:40
That's my report, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Thank you very much, and Supervisor Humphrey. 00:58:46
Attended District 2 project team meeting on the 26th. Attended a candidate forum on June 26th. Was on KIKO on July 1st. 00:58:53
9:30 in the morning. We'll hold a tunnel. Based in community meeting tonight at 5. 00:59:08
Also is it a Central Arizona government meeting who is working as a go between with ADEQ on the plant for Tri-City on public 00:59:16
awareness? And that's just tag making people aware of the plant and the design of the plant, the location of the plant, things of 00:59:25
that nature. And it went a little bit S with people warning questions from Tri-City and that wasn't the purpose of the meeting. 00:59:34
The purpose of the meeting was just public awareness for the plant itself, none of the functions of Tri-City. 00:59:43
And also to staff will hold a meeting tonight because I've already scheduled and scheduled it monthly, my Connovation meeting for 00:59:54
the GEICO Road to update because this is the earliest that we could have done it. I had an earlier meeting with the residents of 01:00:03
Garcia when the road and the double chip seal that we subcontracted taxes for it failed. 01:00:13
Miserably and so it's been a real difficult situation since then and so where I noticed that homeroom was really diligently on his 01:00:23
deal. So I'm sure we're still working out things for the meeting tonight. And so if I can convince the people in in Tunnel Basin 01:00:30
that I don't need to be there for the full meeting, I'm probably going to run out of that and try to make with staff and the guy 01:00:38
Selah meeting this evening. 01:00:45
And other than that, that's about all I have. Thank you. 01:00:53
Thank you supervisor, supervisor client. Sorry so. 01:00:56
I've been talking about that PBS project with APS and I've been working with Forest Service and APS. 01:01:02
To try and mitigate. 01:01:11
That power shut off and so on the 26th. 01:01:14
Me and APS, the Forest Service didn't go with us because they couldn't get their prior approvals. But anyway, we flew the Preacher 01:01:19
Canyon leg. It's Preacher Six, I think is what they called it. And we flew that line and videoed that line in the places that were 01:01:26
the worst that, well, not the worst, but that needed to. 01:01:32
The attention the most I should say the APS, you know you guys can all visualize a power line. Well APS is right away is 10 feet 01:01:39
from the center of that power line each way. That's all they got 20 foot wide power line. So that's less than the width of this 01:01:45
room down through there. 01:01:52
Well, that's fine, except your trees are 100 and 2000 and 50 feet high above that, you know, and so they're well within range of 01:01:59
hitting that power line. And, and So what their biggest issue is, is where access is the worst, that's where they really want to 01:02:07
get in and try and work and mitigate those right aways, meaning they want to make sure they're 20 feet is clean, but then any 01:02:14
problem trees outside of that. 01:02:22
You want to take them down, and I want them to. That'd be a good lick. So there was some access that went to parts of that line 01:02:29
that apparently washed out in the last, I don't know how many years, and nobody took really the initiative or whatever to go back 01:02:35
and fix it. 01:02:41
So when we got done with the flight, we took pictures of all that got done with the flight and sat back down and visited with the 01:02:48
Forest Service. And looks like what's going to happen first is they're going to be able to go back in and reopen those routes into 01:02:53
their power lines where they need it the worst and then start working on on their right of ways and some of those those trees 01:02:59
outside that right away. So I guess in. 01:03:04
Short way of saying that I think we're making progress. The one of the benefits right now is. 01:03:11
We have everybody that's involved in this process. 01:03:19
Has a need for it to happen. You know the Forest Service has a lot of projects along that power line that they can't pull off 01:03:24
because they can't secure the power line so they don't even want to address it. APS has that power shut off deal that they don't 01:03:30
really want to do. They want to keep the power on and keep making money and then I'm sitting there with a whole bunch of people 01:03:36
that don't want to see that power shut off either and so. 01:03:43
I think with that involved, I'm hoping that there's a way everybody's going to come to the table. 01:03:49
And work through any issues that there may be. And I can tell you one issue already is the threatening and endangered species 01:03:55
timeframes, the Mexican spotted owl, they can't get in there and do anything in some of those areas until September 1st. 01:04:03
And so. 01:04:12
They're going to have that to deal with, but that's a doable, doable problem. It can happen. So I'm really hoping that's going to 01:04:14
play out and it's going to work. I don't know that we'll ever get away from the threat of them flipping the switch, but if we can 01:04:20
lessen it, that'll be that'll be huge. And then on the 26th, I as well as Tim and and Kelly's here with us today. We were all in 01:04:26
that candidate forum and I thought that was a good deal. They put on a good deal there for that candidate form. A lot lot going on 01:04:32
that night, but it was good. 01:04:38
On the 27th, I attended a meeting in Round Valley and met with some folks in Christopher Creek and met with the public works staff 01:04:44
in Round Valley as well. And what it is, is there's a couple roads right there in the middle of lower Round Valley that we're 01:04:52
looking to take over maintenance on. So we're going over that. 01:04:59
Getting all that lined out and hopefully that'll that'll work out and come in front of us as a board to deal with that. 01:05:07
And that evening we attended the Wagon Wheel Fire Department meeting and Whispering Pines. That was real interesting. That's that 01:05:14
we we sat there and listened to their budgets and everything else. They they have a new chief who's very active and seems to be 01:05:20
doing a very good job, you know, and don't you? Yes, I do. Yeah. And so I was glad to be there that night and visit those folks as 01:05:26
well. 01:05:32
And then on the 3rd, which is tomorrow, I'll be attending the Copper Valley Independence Day Liberty Dinner, the Knights of 01:05:39
Columbus, and I'm supposed to speak about the Veterans Center in Young. They've asked me to come there and speak about that so. 01:05:47
That's my schedule. 01:05:55
OK, thank you. I don't have a lot to bring up today. I did listen to KMOG yesterday. I think James and Marilyn did an outstanding 01:05:57
job presenting how money is taken in, how it's spent, the reserves that we have and the conservative nature of our financial 01:06:07
status. I believe Huma counties in great shape. We never have enough money, but we are. 01:06:16
Using very sound judgment in our finances. And so I appreciate all that you go through to manage that. And Marin, I don't know 01:06:28
honestly how you manage the. 01:06:34
Magnitude of finances that are involved here, but I thank you very much because you do a great job. 01:06:41
And I think the 4th of July is coming up. So I wish everyone to have a good day there, be safe. If I do my calculations right, 01:06:47
that should be 248 years. He wrote that document so. 01:06:55
Will be. I remember when it was 200. 01:07:03
The bicentennial and now it's coming up on 2:50 so, but I'm not getting any older. 01:07:07
That's all I have. If there's nothing else, I'll adjourn the meeting. Thank you. 01:07:14
