It is Tuesday, September 3rd, 2020, 4:10 AM. I will call this board supervisors needing to order. I've asked Samantha if she would 00:00:01
lead us in the pledge and we have a pastor Tom Barthel of the Rock of Ages Lutheran Church that has the invitation, but he's not 00:00:10
able to attend so I will read that for him. 00:00:18

Instill in the people of our county an attitude of Thanksgiving for all your gifts. Unite the people of our county so that justice 00:01:16

discussion action to approve service agreement number 071124 with C&M Communications, LLC in the amount of not to exceed 00:06:45
$65,811.60 for the Healer County Sheriff's Office. 800 megahertz radio equipment. Good morning, Mr. Newman. 00:06:55
Morning Chairman, Members of the board, we need a This is a request for the approval of a service agreement because the service 00:07:05
agreement for year 2024 has expired. That one was set up to not to exceed $50,000 at the time. The reason that that amount was set 00:07:14
was the number of radios that we had because Pro Radio it cost us $25 per radio per month to to continue his service. 00:07:24
Since that time we have added more radios through not only increasing the number of radios that we need because of staffing, but 00:07:35
also taking on the cost for our volunteer groups. That would be the Posse's search and rescue. They also have some of their own. 00:07:42
So now the amount of radios that we actually have is up to 202 currently. So that's going to raise the amount of what it costs for 00:07:49
us to to operate the radios. 00:07:57
50,000 up to 65,000. So this we're asking that you, you approve this new service agreement with CNN for the cost not to exceed 00:08:04
$65,811.60. I'll take questions. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. I, I have, I have no questions. You need to communicate for sure. 00:08:17
Supervisor, client. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Dennis, thank you. I got I do have a question for you. 00:08:30
On this particular deal, we're talking about the 800 megahertz radios. That's what you guys have always had in it. 00:08:36
Actually, Kenwood, what we had before work. 00:08:47
Several different outfits, but they were operated off of PHF frequencies and that's what our mountain top. OK, so I have a 00:08:51
question and Joe can correct me if I'm out of line, but further down our agenda, we're going to have a deal on some other radios 00:08:58
for your posse. That's the Kenwood NX 5400 K 2. Are those all compatible with that? I mean, can you guys talk back and forth? All 00:09:05
right, Yes, Sir. That that's the reason that that we the system that we have anybody that would want to come. 00:09:13
With us and by a specific radio, in order for it to function, it would be like if we were talking Motorola, if we were on a 00:09:20
Motorola Hilltop system for all of their digital repeaters and stuff, you would have to have equipment compatible with that to 00:09:26
work on their system. So this is similar. And so in the past we have dealt with the fire departments a lot on different, I don't 00:09:33
know how many radios we've purchased to be honest with you, but. 00:09:39
Those are all compatible with what you guys have as well, right, if, if they're 800 megahertz? 00:09:46
And I know that Globe Fire Department is, is on board with, with us as well as Globe PD. Now naturally they pay their own $25 per 00:09:52
month for radio fee. But it's, it's, it's the same system that we're working off of with the different Hilltop repeaters that CNN 00:10:00
provides us that that these radios will tie into that. So it's very specific in, in the equipment that you have to be compatible 00:10:07
with what CNN. 00:10:14
OK. Thank you, Dennis. 00:10:23
Thank you, Supervisor Dennis. So it is important we stay compatible. I think there's been radios purchased for the Pine Strawberry 00:10:25
Fire Department, they're compatible and an upgrade the Tunnel Rim search and Rescue as well. And I think we're looking right now 00:10:32
at Water Wheel Fire Department for some upgrades. And so it's important that everybody kind of communicates. 00:10:39
In in all of my years of law enforcement, always, anytime you have any type of an operation, one of the first things that comes up 00:10:48
in a debriefing is. 00:10:52
And communications was terrible. Now we actually have a system that functions and I hear very few complaints about about this 00:10:57
system. So for us it's a win, win. Great. Appreciate you being here today. So with that, I'll call for motion. 00:11:05
Mr. Chair moved to approve service agreement number 071124 with CNN Communications LLC is presented. And Mr. Chair, I'll second 00:11:15
that motion to approve and 2nd all those in favor say aye. Motion passes, thank you. Next item is 2D information discussion action 00:11:24

increase of the number of inmates in serious medical issues and increased cost. Mr. Fuller. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Good 00:11:51

I ask you approve amendment #420 Thousand. Originally the amendment was at 75. Due to the outstanding bills, the 20,000 would 00:12:06
cover the price from September 1st, 2023 to August 31, 2024. 00:12:14
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:12:23
I have no questions. 00:12:26
Supervisor Klein. 00:12:28
How many? What kind of increase have you had in your inmates in jail? Then it looks like it went up significantly from the past 00:12:30
is. 00:12:33
The population of the jail is fluctuates between 125 and 140 inmates. Okay. And then all all your pharmacy. Oh, this is what? OK, 00:12:38
thank you. 00:12:44
OK. Yeah, thank you. So with that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment #4 to contract 00:12:52
number 050420 with Westwood Pharmacy as presented. 00:12:58
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Motion is unanimous. Thank 00:13:04

county. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:13:33
I just want to say thank you for putting out the proposal. 00:13:39

the OK, thank you. 00:14:02
Yes, thank you. So with that, I'll call for motion as Chairman to authorize the advertisement of Request for Proposals number 00:14:10
073024. And I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye. Motion passes. Thank you. 00:14:18
Item 2F Information discussion action to prove the use of a state contract CPR 063770 with Iron Mountain Information Management, 00:14:28
LLC in the amount of $211,190.53 for the digitization of assessor parcel records. Good morning, Micah, good morning, Chairman 00:14:38
Christensen, Supervisor Humphrey, and Supervisor Klein. 00:14:47
I'm here today to ask for your approval in the revised contract with Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC. 00:14:56
For the digitization contract in the amount of $211,000 one 102 thousand $211,190.43. Earlier this year in March, I had asked for 00:15:03
your approval in the digitization in contract in the amount of $114,172.95 in May Iron Mountain personnel. 00:15:15
Arrived to pick up the files from Marvel with an estimation that it would require about 250 boxes. 00:15:29
The original estimate was underestimated and would only have resulted in about 1/3 of the digitization of the files in our vote. 00:15:35
We have since had different personnel from Iron Mountain on two separate occasions inspect our vault to confirm that this new 00:15:43
estimate is accurate. The new contract has been revised to reflect the change in the same number of vault files, 36,000, but with 00:15:50
an average of 35 pages per file with an estimated 1,000,500. 00:15:58
12,000 images instead of the original estimated 36,000 files. With an average of only 14.8 pages per file and a total number of 00:16:05
638,323 images. The wide format and the microfiche portion of this digitization contract has been estimated to be the same. I 00:16:13
apologize for having to bring this contract back to you for an increased amount, but the need for this digitization project 00:16:20
remains and will still allow us. 00:16:28
Work seamlessly between our Globe and Payson offices while allowing a safe and secure backup of the Assessor Vault files that are 00:16:36
used daily. Projects funds will still come from ARPA and I'm happy to take any questions you may have. 00:16:43
Thank you very much, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah. OK. So the funds are coming from ARPA. Just a question on them taking all of your 00:16:51
files and stuff. Is there any liability for them for any loss of files or or they have several? I mean, you take 200? 00:17:00
Hypnotize it. I mean gally what what what if something. 00:17:09
They have several redundancies in place to minimize any potential loss. There is that always that slight chance that the, you 00:17:14
know, truck that's involved will be in a wreck, but without the digitization process, if we were to have a fire or a flood or 00:17:21
something, we would be losing those files as well that way. Yeah, I understand that loss. I was just wondering if if there, you 00:17:29
know, liability, if there's. 00:17:36
In a contract such as that for loss or misplaced files, I'm not I'm not exactly sure on what the what the actual. 00:17:44
In the event that that would occur what what the contract outlined, but but they have assured that their processes are filled with 00:17:54
redundancies to to help avoid that issue. OK, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair Supervisor. Oh, sure. 00:18:02
Because they originally solicited this work and so that is covered in the state contract that we make advantage of by renewing 00:18:12
that same contract. 00:18:20
OK. 00:18:32
Thank you very much Supervisor Client. 00:18:42
Micah thinks it's a big job, but it'll really be nice and it's all done compared to having these boxes filed Lord and only knows 00:18:56
where. And so that's good. So thank you for doing. We've been sitting with them when cardboard, the person that they did pack up, 00:19:02
we've been dealing out of cardboard boxes for the last two months. So I'm sure the staff will be happy to see the cardboard boxes 00:19:09
go and have it on available online. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mike. Yeah, it. 00:19:16
I'm glad we don't have to take it out of your retirement plan. We still have, we still have some work of money. That's great. So 00:19:24
with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve contract number center. 00:19:30
63770 with Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC is presented. 00:19:37
Mr. Gerald, second motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion passes. Thank you, Micah. 00:19:44
Item 2G is information discussion Action 2 about Policy number B, OS-ADM-003, electronic signatures. Good morning, Mr. Odisco, 00:19:52
Chairman, members of the board. Good morning. I'm pleased to present this electronic signature policy to the board. 00:20:01
So we might be able to move a little bit, used to use current technology to become more efficient, save some money in printing. 00:20:10
And especially. 00:20:19
Allow some of the departments electronic signatures in place of what we call wet signatures, but they're the written signatures. 00:20:21
So if you can imagine there's a lot of delay between getting a contract to a contractor. If we use written signatures, we send it 00:20:27
through mail, wait for them to sign it and send it back. So there's a there's a big delay. So a policy like this would allow the 00:20:34
department directors and the elected officials to choose to use this policy. 00:20:41
Implemented within their operations to become more efficient as we move forward in, in this, you know, technological world we're 00:20:48
in. And I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys may ask. OK, Thank you. Supervisor Humphrey. I don't much care for the 00:20:54
technology world, but if you think it's a good thing, I trust you. 00:21:00
OK, yeah, I'm good. Supervisor Klein. So, Michael, that means with the stroke of the key, you can put my signature on whatever. 00:21:07
Not me, Sir. I'd be. I'd be breaking the policy rules here. 00:21:14
This will be good and and you promise it's going to speed up the process, right? 00:21:22
In the departments I manage that promises. OK, I'll hold you to it. Thank you. So Michael, my question is then how do we maintain 00:21:27
the legitimacy of a signature? 00:21:32
If someone else is, you know, like say my signature, am I involved in that electronic transaction? So the, the, the cool thing 00:21:38
about the technology is, is right. Currently we use this program called Adobe Sign. 00:21:45
And if we send a contract to a contractor to sign through e-mail is typically how you do it. We're able to track when that e-mail 00:21:52
gets there, who opens up the e-mail, when they sign it, validate the signature and when they send it back. It's a nifty report 00:22:01
that Adobe sign attaches to all these electronic signatures so we could verify at any given time. 00:22:10
I see. OK, that that's helpful. OK. So with that I'll call promotion. 00:22:19
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt policy number of DOS-ADM-003. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in 00:22:26
favor say aye, aye, thank you. Motion carries. Thank you. 00:22:33
Item 2H Information Discussion. Action to approve amendment #4 to an intergovernmental agreement between Yue County and Pinal 00:22:43
County whereby Pinal County will continue providing medical examiner services. 00:22:50
For an additional year from July 1, 2024 through June 30th, 2025. Good morning, Mayor. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, 00:22:57
Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor Klein. This is the final renewal of this contract and we would just like to renew it for another 00:23:02
year. 00:23:08
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:23:15
I have no question, supervisor client man, do you think you're going to be interested in going on after this contract like with 00:23:17
another new contractor they indicated or? 00:23:22
Our current conversation is about the current contract. 00:23:27
OK, thank you. Yeah, thank you, Mary. And with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve amendment #4 00:23:30
to an intergovernmental agreement with Pinal County as. 00:23:36
I'll second that, Mr. Chair motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, Mr. Chairman, I could just call me and I'm 00:23:42
Pinell County. Pinal County is a very good partner with us and always willing to partner with us and help us out and work with us. 00:23:49
So good ongoing contract size, you know, issues with those. 00:23:57
Thank you for that and Item 2 I Information discussion Action to approve amendment #3 to another governmental agreement, contract 00:24:05
number TTR 060267 with the Arizona Department of Health Services, which extends the contract to July 30th, 2025 for the Bridge 00:24:13
Access program funding not to exceed 199,342 dollars. 00:24:21
To be used until June 30th, 2025 for the continued provision of COVID-19 vaccination services to the uninsured adults. 00:24:30
Good morning, chairman. Members of the board, today I bring this contract back to you. In November of 2022, we actually received 00:24:40
this funding to provide COVID vaccines. It was an additional amount to our immunization funding to provide uninsured and 00:24:48
underinsured free COVID vaccine and they're giving us an additional year because. 00:24:55
Honestly, the code vaccines have not been going out the doors quickly as they were before. 00:25:05
So we're still using a lot of outreach approaches to ensure that everyone who wants a shot is able to get it in Healing County. So 00:25:11
we're given another year to spend the money in order to get those shots back out. 00:25:17
Into the community. 00:25:23
So I'll take any questions. Thank you, Paula. Supervisor, I have no question, Supervisor Klein. So it seems like follow the Covic 00:25:25
vaccines kind of winding down as far as vaccinations, we haven't had as much response. Yeah. So then when it's all said and done, 00:25:32
what you can do with all the vaccine that's leftover? 00:25:38
Actually, at this point they're still allowing the waste of vaccine, but when it comes to probably another year, then vaccine will 00:25:45
have to be determined whether we're using it or not using it because we can be sanctioned for not using it for unused. And 00:25:51
actually if it comes out of our private stock, we'll be the one that is for it. So trying to make it, you know, so that it they're 00:25:57
going to be using. 00:26:03
Multi multi dose is no longer a thing. They're actually giving us syringes, which helps out a lot with some of the vaccines. So 00:26:11
that way you don't have, you know, 10 that you're wasting, you know, so hopefully we'll get single use of single dose. 00:26:17
Thank you. Yes, thank you, Paula. So with that, I'll call for a motion next year, I move to approve amendment #3 to Arizona 00:26:24
Department of Health Services and Arizona Agreement Contract number GTR 060267 as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion 00:26:32
and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you very much. 00:26:39
Two J Information discussion action to approve the budget increase of $1,218,225.30 for the additional paving on Houston Mesa Rd. 00:26:49
project contingent upon the Arizona Department of Transportation. 00:26:56
Approval of the change order and contingent as well on the counter patients portion of the project and contingent upon the town 00:27:04
patients approval to pay for their portion. Good morning, Tom, Good morning, Mr. Chairman and board members. So this is a request 00:27:14
to approve an increase on the Houston Mesa Rd. project by $1,218,225 and 36 and that includes some contingencies. 00:27:24
So a little background on this. 00:27:35
The Houston Mesa Rd. project is underway. It's been underway now for several months. It's being administered by ADOC. 00:27:37
This was initiated as a Federal Aid safety Project HS IP, which stands for Hwy. Safety Improvement Program and the original IGA 00:27:46
was executed between Healer County and A dot back in October of 2022. 00:27:54
So the work gets underway is again, it's a safety project and what we're doing is we're paving 5 foot shoulders and installing 00:28:04
center line rumble strips and edge line rumble strips. 00:28:10
And that goes all the way from the intersection to 260 to all the way up to. 00:28:18
National Forest Route 198, so it's about over 4 miles. 00:28:27
So the beginning of the project, the beginning of the project is actually in the town of Payson and that's at the cattle guard 00:28:34
there with 87 and it runs for .16 miles and that work is also underway with the town of Payson. However, the contract is between. 00:28:44
Healer County and ADOT as I mentioned earlier. 00:28:55
So the initial budget did not account for any paving cost other than the shoulders. 00:28:59
However. 00:29:06
We have determined that the road itself, which is 24 feet wide to 12 foot lanes, is in very poor condition. 00:29:08
And requires to make it a good safety project we need to go ahead and pave the 24 foot lanes. 00:29:16
The original plans called for saw cutting along the edge and then just paving the shoulders. However, A dot inhibit county have 00:29:27
looked at it and without the alligator cracking and the saw cutting would just make things worse, make it very difficult to pave 00:29:34
it because you'd have sections breaking out and it would just be a big mess to pave it that way. 00:29:42
So again, So what we've looked at is after. 00:29:51
A lot of consultation with a dot and with the contractor. They came back and gave us a proposal. 00:29:55
To go ahead and pay the both 12 foot lanes for the entire length of the project and that's what the budget increase would cover, 00:30:04
the $1,218,225.30. 00:30:11
Again, the contractor gave us that estimate and what the way that would take place is. Contractor would know a depth of 6 to 8 00:30:25
inches. Mix the mix that subgrade material in with the. 00:30:32
The asphalt that would be milled up, compact it, and then come in and lay 3 inches of asphalt concrete on top of that compact 00:30:39
surface. 00:30:44
If we decide not to do this so. So there's some options here. 00:30:51
We can approve the additional funding. 00:30:56
When we cannot approve the funding that would reduce in 1/4 quality for the project or we can approve a lesser amount. 00:30:59
So what we're here today is to ask for this budget increase. 00:31:09
And. 00:31:15
Could I answer any questions? 00:31:19
Thank you to our supervisor, Humphrey. 00:31:21
Now this budget increase of 1,218,000, where's that funding? Is that? 00:31:25
That would come out of either her for transportation exercise. 00:31:32
OK. 00:31:38
Yeah, I I think it'd be kind of silly to redo the edges and not the middle of the road if the middle of the road is having issues. 00:31:40
So yeah, I I think it's. 00:31:45
I think it would be better to do it all at the same time instead of piece it and have great sides of the road so they can pull off 00:31:52
after they pull a tire because the road's no good anyway. So I think that would be, I think that would be a better project if we 00:31:58
if we do. 00:32:03
Do do the road and and the edges at the same time. 00:32:10
So anyway, that's all I have, Mr. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:32:14
So. 00:32:20
You might as well come to the podium, Homer. 00:32:22
So we spend this extra over $1,000,000 on this project. What's it going to do to any of our other scheduled or proposed projects? 00:32:25
Very good question. First of all, this is not a done deal. Adopt needs to approve the change order and that's critical. We're 00:32:35
working with them. 00:32:40
We entered the year in a previous work session, I shared with you that we have $15 million in approval. And the reason for that 00:32:46
$50 million, a big reason was that we have not incurred some of the human resource costs that we had to, we couldn't hire folks. 00:32:55
It's over there over the many years. 00:33:05
We saved up money. We entered the year actually with $16,000,000, not 15. It went up a little bit and we had created coming into 00:33:08
the year a contingency or something like this. And what one of the benefits of this project and hopefully adopt will agree to the 00:33:16
change order is that we're using some of the pulverized material on the shoulders. And so it's a total project that is $5,000,000 00:33:23
because we have to do this on our own if ADOT says no. 00:33:31
Change order, we're going to tell A dot you stop the shoulders and let us go do the two travel lanes first, because the, the 00:33:39
rumble strips are supposed to be on the edges of the shoulder and in the middle of the road. And there's no sense. And they got 00:33:45
put in a Romo strip down the middle of that road. But we're going to obliterate it in no time either with a, with a full pavement 00:33:51
or a double chip seal or something. We need to do something with that road. So we're using money that we've approved over time. 00:33:57
It's it's a. 00:34:03
That if we can get it done this way, it'll be less costly and timely. We can get it done this fall. If this falls apart, we're 00:34:09
looking probably at a spring project with us coming back to the board advertising the work for the two travel lanes, etcetera. The 00:34:16
reason we're going to a dot is because they're administrating the fund 100% it's their contract and we have nothing to do with 00:34:23
that contract. They're the ones that hire that that event the contract company so. 00:34:30
We, we, we have the money in in our funds. We've actually budgeted a contingency amount for something like this. 00:34:38
And I think it'd be hopefully we can finalize this project with a change holder on this budget increase. So Homer in here, there's 00:34:45
a contingent on the patient paying for their portion. Is, is, is that a done deal? I mean, are they going to pay for their part of 00:34:52
it or is that still up in the air? 00:34:59
It's still up in the air both with ADOT and with basin. We've had glimmers of yes, but no, no certain yes. I, I believe that 00:35:06
patient will probably March forward with, with what we're doing, the material that's going to be pulverized. When we first 00:35:13
envisioned this project and wrote this board item, it was 6 inches. The the contractor has agreed with a dot that they would 00:35:20
override. 00:35:27
An additional 2 inches throughout the whole section. 00:35:34
And that that helps pay them because they feel that the local view of a condition that it needs to be with that additional 00:35:37
polarization. So again, we don't know for certain we can March forward without patient agreeing to do their section. We will blend 00:35:46
in both at that section. We'll we'll blend one elevation to the next and and we can March forward without pacing paying. 00:35:54
Their .6 miles of this 4.6 mile project. 00:36:03
So we would just take over and pay for their part of it. We would not pay their price and go on with those. 00:36:08
Was there a specific reason why you decided to go ahead and and grind this up rather than just chipping over the top of what you 00:36:17
got? I've been over that road quite a bit. I just, I'm curious if we did an all afternoon site visit out there and there is a lot 00:36:24
of alligator and there's actually some sections that are sub great is failing. 00:36:32
We would have to do more than chip seal in the very near future. By the way, I did go back and look at the last chip show that we 00:36:40
did. We actually hired a company Pima Paving to chip Sheila back in 2019 or thereabouts. And at that time we at that time we did 00:36:48
some separate patching. But in that short period of time, I think that's 5, five years. 00:36:56
It's actually deteriorated to the point where we would need to do something more than trip shield. So in this contract, is there 00:37:05
some subgrade improvement going to be done as well? 00:37:10
We have a contingency built into this. There's a couple of sections that need this upgrade improvement. 00:37:16
OK. Thank you, Homer. 00:37:25
So. 00:37:29
I would be shocked if Payson did not participate in this project first. 00:37:32
All because we're not going to pay their .6 miles and that will be that would not fare well with the people that use that road. 00:37:37
And I think if we can purchase 4.5 miles of pavement for 1,200,000, we're we're getting a pretty good bargain. 00:37:48
In fact, if we can buy that rate, we'll start paying a lot more. So this road fixed up this way with this approval. 00:38:01
Will last, will outlast all of our tenure on the board. It's going to last a long time. Yeah. With routine maintenance, it should 00:38:13
last 15 to 20 years. And if we just keep patching, then it it's like Gibson Ranch Rd. we're going to be doing that one too. But 00:38:21
it's just nothing but patchwork. It's just all coming on glue. So. OK, so if there's nothing else, then I will call for motion. 00:38:29
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the budget increase of $1,218,225.30 for additional paving on a Houston Mesa Rd. 00:38:39
project, contingent upon the Arizona Department of Transportation's approval of the change order in the Town of Payson's portion 00:38:48
of the project and contingent upon the Town of patients approval to pay for their portion. 00:38:57
Before I second that with Payson put into that motion, a patient doesn't, is that going to affect us going ahead with the project? 00:39:08
$256 specifically the contract include. 00:39:21
Chief Deputy Sabelli specifically amended the contract to put those two contingencies in. And so if, if either contingency fails 00:39:30
and the contract will have to be renegotiated. OK, just a question. Thank you. OK, I'll, I'll 2nd. I have a motion and a second to 00:39:37
approve this item. As stated, all those in favor say aye. 00:39:44
Aye, aye. Thank you. Thank you. 00:39:53
Item 2K information discussion action to authorize the adverse concern for invitation forbid number 080724 Russell Gulch channel 00:39:58
improvement project Mr. Kinder, good morning, Mr. Chair, Board supervisors, thank you for having me. So this is a. 00:40:06
We're requesting your authorization to do an invitation forbid for the Russell Gulch Channel improvement project. If you recall, 00:40:16
we were before you about two meetings ago to present all the drainage and temporary construction easements. So I apologize that we 00:40:24
didn't have all this bundled together into one meeting. That being said, this project is. 00:40:32
The Russell Gulch improvement project from Besseck Blvd. through just north of Hospital Drive including the box culvert that is a 00:40:41
hospital drive. This is all funded under a different fund or our our 2700 three 47 and this project will then improve that Channel 00:40:50
for better flow. 00:40:59
As a result of all the damage that was done from the Telegraph fire. 00:41:09
OK. Thank you, supervisor, hopefully. 00:41:13
If we're putting this out to bid, do we have the easements and stuff to proceed with this project if we do get it bid? Because 00:41:17
then if we get it bid and somebody gives a surprise and we don't have easements and it takes six months for an easement, then the 00:41:22
price is going to go up and change and those kind of things. So yes, so that's what I was saying. So we brought the easements 00:41:27
before you before we brought this before you. So those were approved at the meeting 2 meetings ago. Excellent. Great for your 00:41:33
thinking ahead. Good job. 00:41:38
So no further questions. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So once this channel is once it's put back where it needs to be in the 00:41:45
channels established and all that, are we going to be able to pioneer some kind of a road around there we can thinner? 00:41:51
What's going to happen then? So yeah, you'll have Passage Blvd. on the South and Hospital Drive on the north, and we will restore 00:41:59
the box cover to Hospital Drive, so that will be actually a better Rd. 00:42:03
Thank you. Thank you, and thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to authorize the advertisement 00:42:11
invitation for bid number 080724. And I'll second that Mr. Chair, motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. 00:42:19
Motion carries unanimous. Thank you. And we have another 1-2 L information discussion Action to adopt resolution #24-0901, which 00:42:28
authorizes the execution of intergovernmental agreement #24 Dash 0009775 I. 00:42:38
Between Healer County and the State of Arizona Department of Transportation for scoping services, 30% Design plans and estimates 00:42:48
for the future replacement of the existing body Hanks Wash bridge #1950 at Schultz Ranch Rd. 00:42:57
Thank you Mr. Chair Board so this is the second of the off system bridge grant applications that I applied for this year. The 00:43:07
first one being the Tunnel Village Bridge replacement that you guys approved 2 meetings ago as well. This one is not 100% 00:43:15
federally funded like that one. This one requires a 5.7% local match and. 00:43:24
The reason we have this before you is many of our older bridges, such as the Schultz Ranch Bridge here. 00:43:32
We have no plan for how to replace them when they're failing and this bridge currently is in fair condition. In the next few years 00:43:40
it'll probably move into a poor condition and so this. 00:43:46
1000 or $141,450 grants with us paying $8550 dollars of that will get us the information we need to be able to present before any 00:43:53
sort of grants opportunities in the future. 00:44:01
With ideas of how we can actually get this group replaced. So this is a real good deal for us because then we get all the scoping 00:44:10
and up to a 30% plan in place so that we can present that before a dot or federal highways for another grants in the future to get 00:44:17
this bridge replaced. 00:44:24
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:44:31
Thank you for looking ahead on some of these instead of all of a sudden have emergencies. Thank you for planning ahead a little 00:44:34
bit. 00:44:38
Supervisor claim So Alex this will put all the. 00:44:43
All the paperwork we need ahead of replacing that bridge when we have to replace it. That's what you're saying. All the design and 00:44:47
everything will all be done and up to snuff. So this will only be up to a 30% design, which is enough to apply for the grants. 00:44:53
Most grants you can't apply for if you don't have at least a 30% sign. 00:45:00
All right, and the. 00:45:08
Where did that money come from? Is that different money? So no, this is Arizona grants from it's called the off system Bridge 00:45:10
program. 00:45:14
8550, OK, thanks. 00:45:20
I don't have any questions. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt the resolution. 00:45:27
Number 240901. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion to approve and seconded those in favor say aye, aye. 00:45:32
Thank you. Thank you for Alex. 00:45:45
Come on up. Yeah, we have our next item is item 2 M and it's information discussion action to approve economic development 00:45:48
agreement number 07262024 between Healer County and Northern Healer County 4H Community Club and that's the Arizona 4H Youth 00:45:58
Foundation in the amount of $3750 to support and establish a new 48 shooting Sports Club in northern Gila County, which the board. 00:46:07
To be for the benefit of the public and this is my item. And so we're using constituent constituent funds to. 00:46:17
Provide equipment for northern Helium County shooting clubs. So please, what's your name? Hi, I'm Molly Griffin and we have. 00:46:27
Right Guy Wagner. 00:46:36
Stevie Wagner and they are 4H participants in northern Hayley County and southern Haven County shooting sports. It's our aim for 00:46:42
this. Good morning, Mr. Chairman Christensen and Supervisor Humphrey and Mr. Klein. Supervisor. 00:46:49
It is our aim for this funding to purchase equipment to establish this program in Northern Hewlett County and sends our volunteers 00:46:58
to trainings to get them certified as shooting sports leaders. We already have a handful in the process or have already been 00:47:04
through the process to become certified for each leaders. So we should be ready to go in October and it's our aim to get that 00:47:09
program going with the new voice here. 00:47:15
Fantastic. So supervisor hungry. 00:47:21
I have no questions other than thank you. It's great to see this expand and I know it's been successful and the kids have had a 00:47:25
great time. So it's great to see this grow. And so I, I would think up there, you won't have any difficulty in finding, you know, 00:47:31
someone to help teach and help organize a lot of that as well. So I think it's a great thing. I, I love supporting the kids. Thank 00:47:37
you supervisor client Molly, thank you and. 00:47:43
Are you, are you guys participating with the club down here as well right now? 00:47:50
Yeah, you had quite a few meetings and shoots on that. 00:47:55
This year I got to go to national. When, when's that coming up that comes up? 00:48:00
They went in June, so he's already back there. OK, cool, good deal. And so on The Northern Club, how many kids do you think we're 00:48:07
going to have up there? We have interest from a handful right now. They did an outreach event in Tractor Supply a few months ago 00:48:15
and there was a lot of folks interested and they were talking about getting this program started. 00:48:23
We have one leader that's already through the process and a few more that are getting started, including one that was leader 00:48:31
previously when we had a shooting sports program up there. 00:48:35
Start and what equipment to buy. 00:49:40
OK, cool deal. So there's not gonna be any charge for you guys to use that Jim Jones shooting range, is there? I don't believe so. 00:49:42
No. OK, there is. You need to let let me know. 00:49:47
Yeah, thank you. Thank you guys too. Yeah, thank you, Molly. So, yeah, it's exciting to think that we're going to add some things 00:49:53
to our youth. We're really excited for it. It's it's so exciting to have both of you here today. Thank you for coming. Thank you 00:50:01
for participating. And this I think is going to grow and be a great thing. All right, thank you. And with that, I will call for a 00:50:08
motion. Mr. Chair, I move to approve economic Development agreement number 07262024. 00:50:15
With Northern Hill County 4H Community Club, Arizona 4H Youth Foundation as presented, which the Board has determined to be for 00:50:23
the benefit of the public. Mr. Cheryl, second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank you very much 00:50:29
for coming. Thank you. 00:50:35
All right, next item is item 2 N Information Discussion Action to prove Economic Development Agreement number 08052024 between 00:50:43
Hayley County and the Globe Unified School District #1 in the amount of $2248.79 for the purchase of eight microphones and body 00:50:51
packs, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Humphrey. 00:50:59
Yeah, they they've come to me and, and for their plays and doing things of that nature. 00:51:08
They would find these helpful to go forward and do their presentations and to do their drama club and so you know with the with 00:51:14
the background. Funds are budgeted for supporting economic development achievement Globe High School Drama Club is seeking the 00:51:24
money funding purchase 8 microphones and contributions may be made to any governmental agency or to nonprofit. 00:51:33
Corporations. 00:51:44
That enjoys and maintains federal tax entity exempt status as long as monies are utilized for the purpose determined. And so like 00:51:45
I say, anything I can do to help the kids and if they'll help them with their drama clubs and to be more efficient and to to put 00:51:52
on a better program, I think it's worthwhile. 00:51:59
And so that's out of my constituent fund. So I'm trying to help them all I can. 00:52:08
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Yeah. No, that's good. We can help them out. That's fine. I don't mind spending money. Kim. Yeah. 00:52:15
As long as long as we get a nod, it's OK. As long as we get an idea, well, then I'll call for a motion. 00:52:23
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve economic Development Agreement number 08052024 with Globe Unified School District #1. 00:52:30
As presented with the Board as determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:52:42
I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. Motion carries unanimous item 2O information 00:52:47
discussion Action to approve Economic Development Agreement number 08042024 between Hill County and Hilo County Sheriff's Posse 00:52:57
and County Search and Rescue in the amount of $16,080.24 for the purchase of 16 New Kenwood NX 5400 K 2. 00:53:07
Megahertz analog multi protocol digital portable radios including P25 phase two compliant upgrade capability with high capacity 00:53:17
batteries, antennas, desktop rapid chargers, active noise reduction microphones that will be used while conducting search and 00:53:26
rescue in the rough terrain of Yva County and while assisting with. 00:53:35
Evacuation as well as a a patrol operations. 00:53:45
All of which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. This is your item again, Mr. Humphrey. 00:53:49
Yeah. 00:53:58
I I, I was asked by the sheriff policy because the sheriff's keep upgrading their things to make it better and, and so. 00:54:00
I was approached to see if we couldn't help the sheriff's policy in upgrading their equipment and things so that they can 00:54:09
communicate with the Sheriff's Office and the other emergency first responders as as they go through and and do their search and 00:54:15
rescues and things and so. 00:54:21
I thought it was the, I thought it was a very worthwhile deal because a lot of our county has become recreational area. Just look 00:54:28
at it on the weekends. And so communication is extremely important for everybody to be able to communicate, especially in an 00:54:35
emergency situation. So I felt it was a good cause and I do believe that all three of us itched in on this deal out of our 00:54:43
contingent funds to help. So it's not it's not just. 00:54:50
My deal, I'm doing a presentation, but I believe all three supervisors kind of put in the Kitty to to help with this project. So 00:54:58
that's all I have, Mr. Chair. And if you'd like to, if you'd like to say if you would have any questions, concerns on purchasing 00:55:06
radios, it's kind of to help the Sheriff's Office as volunteers. 00:55:14
Tell us your name again please. I Peterson Rescue and yes Sir, Supervisor client. So how many Aussie members do you have? 00:55:23
We have currently probably on last count I had 13 and search and rescue way half 12. Some of those are in both so and that's 00:55:32
between North and South. That's just so the radios that we're looking at would be for the members down here on the South end or 00:55:39
OK. And So what do the Aussie members use up there? They just have hand me downs or what they got some and they I think they 00:55:46
purchased 12. 00:55:53
They've already purchased 12. What I've heard is they got a grant from I think the casino or something they got, they bought them 00:56:01
radios. OK, All right, that's all. 00:56:07
Thank you. Remind me, Melissa, do we have a request for radios up north of the posse? 00:56:14
We're already, yeah. I can't remember what I'm doing at all, so yeah. 00:56:23
Thank you very much for all that information. Thank you. Happy to help our search and rescue and and all of the volunteer members. 00:56:26
So with that I will call for motion Mr. I move to approve economic development grant number 08042024 with a Hilton County 00:56:35
Sheriff's policy and the county search and rescue as presented with the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:56:43
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you very much, Mr. 00:56:53
Appreciate it. Thank you. 00:56:57
Item 3 is our consent agenda items. We have items A through L Would Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to remove one or more of 00:57:03
the consent agenda items to discuss separately? No, I'm, I'm a good thank you. How about you, Supervisor Klein? 00:57:11
I only had one question really for either one of you. I we have an appointment of Miss Teresa Hunt as JP. 00:57:23
Pro tempore so does anybody know her? 00:57:35
You don't want, you know it. 00:57:39
I don't need it. OK, That's all I had. Do we need to pull that out to discuss more? OK And I'll call for a motion to approve 00:57:41
consent agenda items A through L so moved, Mr. Chair. 00:57:48
I'll second to someone. OK, we have a motion to approve all consent agenda items. Those in favor say aye aye aye aye. Thank you. 00:57:57
Call to the public. Anyone here in Globe that wishes? 00:58:05
To speak from the public and. 00:58:14
And Lisa? 00:58:19

elected officials post. 00:59:00
There's a lot of electric visuals from the Star Valley Patient Globe and Miami that were there, and so it's a good opportunity to 00:59:07
compare notes and things that we're all working on together. 00:59:14
And in next week, I think it is that Hill County will be represented at the. 00:59:23

For participating with a slide show and things of that nature to go over more of what you know, went on with the road and where 01:00:18
we're going forward with that to let the community know. And so I appreciate staff very much for for being there, taking time on a 01:00:25
weekend to come and present with me. I'm supposed to be on Kmart radio on Monday. I had some family things come up and I was 01:00:33
unable to be on Kmart. 01:00:40
And I think I haven't been on there a year. I tried to get on there for multiple months and was unable to. 01:00:48
And then I finally got a slot and something came up and I was unable to be there. I'll hold a Roosevelt Community meeting on the 01:00:54

going to go and schedule but had to cancel and so. 01:01:16
I won't, I won't be able to go, but I'm sure James will do efficient on getting us covered and talking to the people that we need 01:01:24
to. So that's all, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. James, thanks for going. Yeah, that's, that's pretty important deal. So 01:01:31
thanks for going to that. I don't have a lot going on right now. We got a meeting coming up in about 10-12 days and I've asked 01:01:38
Kathy to attend that one. For me, it's with the Coalition of Counties. 01:01:45
And it's a workshop on how to go about updating our accounting land use plan. So other than that, I've still been kind of just 01:01:53
hanging out for a little while longer. But thank you, Mr. Jeff. You're very welcome. And I don't have a lot to report either other 01:01:59
than I did fill the slot at Taylor G yesterday and that went well. Had a lot of call insurance and. 01:02:06
It's it's always enjoyable to talk about the county and the positive things that we do here in the county. 01:02:14

Well, that's what happens. 01:03:28
Yeah, it's sold out. I don't think I have a ticket. I didn't know we were having that so. 01:03:32
I guess I won't be attending either if it's all that. So anyway, if you don't, if you don't see me there because I didn't know, I 01:03:39
didn't get a ticket for it. Sold out. 01:03:43
