So that they know how to cover. 00:00:43
Very impressive and we pray this in your name, Lord Jesus, Amen. Thank you. 00:00:45
Well, welcome again, beautiful fall day. Let's start our meeting off here with item number 2. It's a public hearing. Item 2A is 00:00:55
information discussion, action to consider 2 liquor license applications. 00:01:04
The county number is LL-24-03 and LL24-04. Submitted by Andrea Yukowski. 00:01:13
Lukowicz for the transfer of a Series 9 liquor store license in the Series 07 beer and wine bar license with interim permits to 00:01:24
operate Tunnel Basin Marketplace located in Tunnel Base and then issue a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor 00:01:31
Licenses and control whether the licenses should be granted. Samantha Thank you Chairman and board members. So Andrea Lukowitz 00:01:38
submitted 2 applications to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control the. 00:01:46
The departments or members of the public, so the clerk of the board's office recommends to proceed with the public hearing and I 00:02:24
can answer. Thank you, Samantha Supervisor Hunter. 00:02:28
I have no questions. I thank you, Supervisor Klein. Neither do I and and neither do I. So why don't I open it up to the public 00:02:33
hearing portion? Lisa, up in Payson, do we have anyone there that wishes to speak to this item? 00:02:40
OK. Thank you, Cassandra. No. Is there anyone present here in the globe? 00:02:50
Boardroom. 00:02:54
No, doesn't look like it. So I'll close the public hearing and call for a motion. 00:02:56
That's true. I move to recommend that the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control approve the liquor license application 00:03:01
submitted. 00:03:05
By Andrea Lukowitz for the Tunnel Basin Marketplace. 00:03:09
Mr. Cheryl, thank you, that thank you. We have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Motion 00:03:15
carries unanimous thank you. We'll move on to item three regular agenda items. Item A is information discussion action to consider 00:03:22
a sealed bid for the purchase of assessors tax parcel number 10107079 and if accepted, authorize the Chairman signature on the 00:03:29
quit claim fee. Samantha, thank you again. So just as a reminder. 00:03:37
Don't get these sealed bid requests very often. Only a landowner that adjoins a state data tax property may submit a sealed bids 00:03:44
for the Board's consideration. So the Board has that authority through ARS 4218303 F to consider selling property less than a lien 00:03:52
amount from an adjoining landowner only. On August 10th, 2012, the Hewitt County Treasurer dated parcel 10107079 to the State of 00:03:59
Arizona in care of the Board of Supervisors because the previous owner did not pay taxes on the subject property for. 00:04:07
Consecutive years. So the property adjoins Healing County Assessors parcel 10107080 owned by Andrew Olson. Mr. Olson submitted a 00:04:15
sealed bid for the Board of Supervisors consideration. If the Board accepts Mr. Olson sealed bid, he intends to request that the 00:04:24
human Assessor combine the parcels, which is a win win for both parties here. So the lien amount for this property is $2356.44. 00:04:33
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them, and if you just want to let me know when you want me to open the steel kit. 00:04:44
OK. Thank you, Samantha. Supervisor Humphrey, I, I have no questions and it's fine with me to open a bit. 00:04:49
OK, Supervisor Klein? Yeah, you bet. See what the IT is? 00:04:57
Mr. Olson sealed bid is $350.00. 00:05:22
OK. Thank you, Samantha. So from this point, do we call for motion? OK, So I will call for a motion to accept or not accept the 00:05:25
$350.00 bid for this parcel. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to sell Assessors tax parcel number 101-0707 nine to Andrew Olson in 00:05:34
the amount of $350.00 and authorize the Chairman's signature on the quick claim deed. 00:05:42
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion. You have a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Thank you. 00:05:52
OK, the bargain of the day then, right? 3B Information, Discussion Action to approve FFY 2025 Governor's Office of Hwy. Safety 00:06:00
Grant agreement #2025PTS-023 in the amount of $30,574.00 for the period of October 1st, 2024 to September 30, 2025 that will be 00:06:09
issued for overtime. 00:06:17
And employee related expenses. A Lidar unit, gas system printer and INTOX 9000 unit. 00:06:26
Good morning under Sheriff. 00:06:34
Again, the insurance office is taking these improvements for extending the furniture specifically. 00:06:40
Speed enforcement P1 Enforcement continues. 00:06:48
Overtime equipment. 00:06:54
30,000. 00:07:04
Good question. 00:07:08
Thank you, Mr. Newman. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions, Mr. Klein. No, I I don't either the NSA. I think it's a good 00:07:12
deal. And well, I would have one question, you know, with this equipment and you guys setting up and and. 00:07:20
Do you have any idea how many DUI's you'll that this will help catch? 00:07:28
Well, if you like, the kids can catch them, yeah. 00:07:34
During our regular controlling shift and stuff we. 00:07:39
But this is this is part of this funding to go out and not answer radio questions typically looking to do live take areas where we 00:07:47
get citizens complaints about speeding vehicles. We can direct the deputy to go there and that's all exactly. 00:07:55
This is this is targeted funding, but. 00:08:05
OK, You can still hear me correct? Yeah. OK, sorry about that. That that's what this is this this funding goes specifically to to 00:08:10
take care of the things that to grant is it's dedicated to. So like this equipment that you have here is is mobile. 00:08:18
You take it out on the road with you. Well, yeah, the the speed measuring equipment is the lidar. That's the new technology. We 00:08:27
used to have the Doppler radar equipment. Now they're going to the laser radar. That's that's what this is for. The Intoxilizer, 00:08:33
not so much mobile. It's something that needs to be stationary because of the sensitivity of what it does. It doesn't need to be 00:08:39
bouncing around. So. 00:08:45
So no that the intoxilizer would be mobile or I'm sorry would be stationary, but the rest of the equipment. 00:08:52
Would be, would be. 00:08:58
So, so with this intoxilizer, this 9000, do you have one for like each end of the county or is you just pretty much have one in 00:09:00
the county? We do, I believe one of these is actually a replacement we've got on both ends of the county and then down at the 00:09:08
lake. So and, and also over in young we also, in addition to the intoxilizer, we have phlebotomists that are certified to do blood 00:09:15
draws in the event that you got a machine that's down or the, the drive time to that equipment is is extended. 00:09:23
We can draw blood. OK. Thank you, Dennis. 00:09:30
Thanks for butter. I don't have any questions. 00:09:34
And so if that's it, then will this call for motion? And Chair, I move to approve FFY 2025, Governor's Office of Hwy. Safety Grant 00:09:38
application number 2025 Dash BTS Dash 02/3 as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion. Second to approve all those in favor 00:09:47
say aye, aye. 00:09:55
Thank goodness and item 3C Information, discussion, Action to approve amendment #2 to Service Agreement number 062922. 00:10:04
With Advantage Home Performance incorporated in the amount not to exceed $300,000 and extend the term of the contract for one 00:10:13
additional year to September 5, 2025. Good morning, Josh. Good morning, Chairman. Members of the Board. So under Community 00:10:21
Services, this is for our weatherization contracts. We've had this discussion with four supervisors before. This was a sole bidder 00:10:28
two years ago on a contract to do weatherization services we renewed last year. 00:10:35
For before their final bills are paid, working with new development and Randy, the director over there. So we have some additional 00:11:41
like checks and balances in order with them that I think will help along this process as well. So I feel pretty good about this 00:11:46
for at least the time being until we can get more vendors up and going. 00:11:51
Very good supervisor, Humphrey. 00:11:57
I appreciate it very much. That's all, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So Josh, besides Advantage Home Performance 00:12:30
Incorporated, we have another vendor as well or we don't have anybody yet, but we have Hila Monster Construction, another one 00:12:36
that's working towards taking their one week weatherization program class that you have to take at the state, which gets them part 00:12:42
of the way there. And then there's a like 3 or 4 different types of insurance that they have to have in place as well getting 00:12:48
their fingerprint. 00:12:54
Art for all their staff that would work the project. So it's a process to get somebody new even to the point that I feel 00:13:00
comfortable like putting this back out to the. So this other outfit is local right here then and it's local. Well, that's good. 00:13:06
Cool. Thanks, Josh. Yeah, thank you, Josh, for your efforts to expand that. 00:13:12
Offering. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment #2 to Service Agreement number 00:13:19
062922 with Advantage Home Performance incorporated as presented. 00:13:26
Mr. Chair, I'll second that We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. Thank you, Josh. 00:13:35
Item 3D information discussion action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the chairman's signature on the temporary 00:13:43
construction easement granted to the state of Arizona by and through its Department of Transportation for the construction of 00:13:50
state route 87 Green Valley Parkway to Houston Mesa Rd. improvement project. Good morning Romero good morning chairman board of 00:13:58
suppressors we're asking for the ratification of a signature that's already taken place due to the urgency of a project that. 00:14:05
A doc is proposing and the urgency was that they they came to the county and asked for a temporary construction easement for a 00:14:13
property that we don't have a quick claim for. And so with the help of Jessica Sevilla, County Attorney, we work with ADOT, we 00:14:19
work with the attorney general and we decided that the best thing for the county to do was to sign a temporary construction 00:14:25
easement for three entrances to Otanto Plaza in Payson that serves a number of business communities. Currently, nobody owns that 00:14:31
parking. 00:14:37
It is a parcel that's owned by the state. It doesn't have private ownership. They failed to pay taxes on this one parcel and 00:14:43
therefore, eventually the state ownership of that property. And so when the state comes to Gila County to ask for us to sign a 00:14:51
temporary construction easement, that's when I asked the help of the County Attorney, what's the proper thing for us to do? And 00:14:58
while we're having these discussions, time runs out. We needed to sign the temporary construction. We asked Chairman Christensen. 00:15:05
Sign it knowing that we would be coming back to the board for ratification of that signature as soon as we could and that's what 00:15:13
we're doing today. Now, if the county were not to sign that temporary construction easement, then adopt would not make those 00:15:19
improvements when they approved the Beeline Hwy. the improvement that they're scheduling for Beeline Hwy. they would also improve 00:15:25
the entrances to the highway and that would include the three entrances that are on this parking lot. So those would be unimproved 00:15:31
and they'd end up having to have. 00:15:37
3 inch. 00:15:43
Jump on the onto the highway from the parking lot. In order to avoid that, we thought it was best to to move with the signature 00:15:46
and the ratification. And that's that's what we're asking the board to to approve today. Any questions? I'd be happy to take 00:15:52
questions or sure. Jessica Shabelle, our County Attorney could also help with any questions. Supervisor Humphrey. Mr. Chair, I 00:15:57
have no questions. 00:16:03
Jessica, did you have anything to add? 00:16:10
Chairman. Members of the board. 00:16:13
Just to clarify what the issue was, this property is owned by the state in care of the county that that's how our tax deeded 00:16:16
properties are named. They are, again, it's owned by the by the state, but in care of the county. And so the county does not hold 00:16:23
the authority to execute any sort of deed or execute any sort of easement. That is why I worked with the Attorney General's office 00:16:30
to confirm that the state is in the opinion that the easement should exist. 00:16:38
In this case particular, I'm OK with moving forward with the easement. If the other party was not the state, then I would be 00:16:46
hesitant. 00:16:51
Supervisor Klein. No, I'm good. 00:16:58
We'll pay you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:17:01
I'm good. 00:17:04
Good too. So Romero, no one wants the parking lot technically, I guess, and it's just completely. 00:17:07
Falling apart and so I suppose then. 00:17:13
I don't know why it's in care of us, but it really shouldn't be. I wouldn't think that needs to go to the owners of the properties 00:17:19
so that they can care for it themselves. I know that's not what we're talking about today. Chairman, members of the board. 00:17:26
So when someone is delinquent on their taxes, there's a process that the property after seven years is deeded over to the state. 00:17:34
So that state is the owner of the property at that point. There's other avenues like here today we just had the auction to get the 00:17:42
property back on the tax roll. Someone made a bid case of the property. However, there's no office. 00:17:50
In the state that takes care of these tax needed properties. That's why they have it in care of the counties. 00:17:59
Because the county is, you know, the treasurer's are supposed to manage these properties. And that's why we ran into the 00:18:06
predicament of, well, why should the county sign it when we don't have we don't own the deed. It's a state that owns the deed, yet 00:18:12
there's no one authorized from the state to sign it. It's really. So it's kind of one of those situations. But here working with 00:18:19
the attorney General's office, we all came to an agreement that it should be signed. OK. 00:18:25
Thank you for that clarification. So with that, I'll call promotion. Mr. Chair, I moved to ratify the Board of Supervisors 00:18:32
approval for the. 00:18:37
Christmas Chairman's signature on the temporary construction easement granted to the State of Arizona by and through its 00:18:44
Department of Transportation for the construction of the State Route 87 Green Valley Parkway to Houston Mesa Rd. Improvement 00:18:50
project. 00:18:56
And I'll second that motion and a second to approve Those in favor say aye. Thank you. 00:19:04
Item 3 E Information discussion action to approve the use of. 00:19:10
Omnia Cooperative Cooperative contract number 212816 with Empire Machine and Caterpillar in the amount of $382,938.66 for the 00:19:16
purchase of a new 2020 4120-14A all-wheel drive capillary motor Razor. Well, thank you, Chairman. The vehicle that we're intending 00:19:26
to replace is J-003. It's a 1987 Motor Grader 40. 00:19:35
1983 motor grader, it's 41 years old. If you have vehicles that are 4 years old and you try to find parts for it, you know that 00:19:46
it's very difficult to find parts and usually they're very expensive. And that's the case with this particular vehicle. And of 00:19:52
course, because of its age, it it has more down time than the newer vehicles. It's time to replace it. We would like to replace it 00:19:58
with a with a Caterpillar. 00:20:04
120-14 all-wheel Drive Motivator The purchase price that you mentioned, Chairman, and the introduction of this item $382,938. 00:20:11
Also includes an extended warranty. We're paying $18,000, eighteen, 1700 dollars, $18,800 for that extended warranty. The extended 00:20:21
warranties for seven years, 7000 miles and includes everything except for lubrication, downtime expenses that we may incur. 00:20:28
Basically it covers everything. It's just a normal wear and tear and lubrication. So that would be a Caterpillar fixing the 00:20:36
vehicle for the next 7 years for 7000 miles, whichever comes first. 00:20:43
That's included in the purchase price. We would like to move forward with this. The vehicle would be coming to the globe area and 00:20:51
one of the older vehicles from the globe area would be going out to to replace J-003, which I think currently is in conservation. 00:20:58
And we and we'd like to use that to put the vehicles where they're most used and you're once where they're most used and the older 00:21:06
ones to to our outlying areas. It's it's a standard practice that we use. So with that we would like to. 00:21:13
Request that you approve this purchase of a new motivator. 00:21:21
Thank you, Meryl Supervisor. 00:21:28
Humphrey, I have no questions. Supervisor Klein, so I have a couple for you. Former this Omnia cooperative contract, is that like 00:21:31
a different program through Kate Cat that we can that we purchase equipment? I I don't understand that. I guess. So we look for 00:21:37
these state cooperative contract. This is a contract that the city of Tucson has and so it's it's it's considered like a state 00:21:44
contract. It does get us. 00:21:51
A significant discount to the sticker price, if you will. 00:21:58
In the board item, we mentioned that there's a savings of 248,000 using both the Omnia contract and a discount from, from 00:22:03
Caterpillar. So we, we, we, it does put a big bite into the purchase price. I, I don't think we would buy Caterpillars at 500,000. 00:22:10
We, we do competitive bids for them, but by the use of these contracts, we can expedite the purchase and get something that is 00:22:17
very competitive, OK. 00:22:24
I guess that's it, Homer. Thank you. Thank you. And so the older unit, J-003, you'll eventually end up in an auction, correct? OK. 00:22:32
All right. With that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the use of Omnia Cooperative Contract 00:22:40
number 212816 with Empire Machinery and Caterpillar Incorporated as presented. 00:22:47
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye aye. Motion passes item. Thank you 00:22:55
homeroom. Item 3F is information discussion action to adopt resolution #24-10-04 authorizing the purchase of 10 flood prone 00:23:03
properties adjacent to Campaign Creek and authorized James Memo, County Manager, to sign the various related documents associate 00:23:10
associated with the purchase of homes. 00:23:18
To the Campaign Creek buyout and other Campaign Creek homes necessary for the successful completion of the Campaign Creek project, 00:23:25
we have Alex. Thank you Mr. Chair board. So as you know we've been working on acquiring the homes for the Campaign Creek buyout. 00:23:33
In addition to that, there was two others that were originally not or they didn't get the applications in the time to be 00:23:40
considered part of the Campaign Creek buyout, but we still consider them in our process moving forward with. 00:23:48
Purchasing of these homes and we were going to use monies from the Woodbury fire mitigation. 00:23:56
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:24:33
Yeah, I think it's a great idea, especially we're under the gun to have this done in 12 months. So getting before the board for 00:24:36
each one of these homes for our approval could slow that process. So thanks for thinking ahead. Anything that can get this process 00:24:43
going and get it done within the 12 months that we have to do it, I I think it's a great thing. So thank you very much. 00:24:50
Appreciate it. Supervisor Klein. I think this is a good deal and I agree with Supervisor Humphrey. Alex, I just have one question 00:24:59
and remind me because I don't remember what ended up being the total cost on those homes. Do you have that handy? If not, it's OK. 00:25:06
Yes. So the total for all 10, including the two that we're purchasing from the housing mitigation fund will be $2,080,000, eight, 00:25:13
165 for the total project. That would also include the demolition and asbestos removal as well. 00:25:20
That's the full process. 00:25:28
Support. OK. Thank you. 00:25:30
Yeah. Thank you. Alex, did you have something else Supervisor? Yeah. And I remember this is a funded in multiple ways including 00:25:33
the homeowners have agreed to contribute some of the. So that was the one I brought before you. That's been we're getting them the 00:25:41
full appraised value using the mitigation funds for that last 10% and that was approved two months. OK. So I don't want to muddy 00:25:48
the water, so I will call for a motion. 00:25:55
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt resolution #24-10-O4 and authorized Jane Menlo to the County Manager to sign the various related 00:26:04
documents associated with the purchase of homes related to the Campaign Creek buyout and other Campaign Creek of houses necessary 00:26:14
for the successful completion of the Campaign Creek project. Mr. Cheryl. Second that. 00:26:23
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:26:33
Italics Item 3G Information. Discussion. Action to adopt A resolution #24-10-03 authorizing the roadway exchange of 4109 square 00:26:37
feet of unneeded Roper Lane in exchange for the acquisition of 4027 square feet of Assessor's Parcel Number three 0205-001. 00:26:49
West for New Forest Service 499 right of way and authorized the chairman signature on related quick claim feed Romero. Thank you 00:27:02
chairman. 00:27:07
The partners of parcel #302-50-001 West and Partial 30205023 have applied to abandon a portion of Roper Lane or did apply to 00:27:14
abandon a portion a portion of Roper Lane which lies between the two parcels. Abandoning this portion of Roper Laney would allow 00:27:24
the deckers to combine 2 parcels together with that portion of the abandoned Roper Lane and connect to a well located to the. 00:27:33
And utilize it for irrigation and fire suppression. Would allow them to combine these two parcels together with that portion of 00:27:44
Roper Lane The Board of Supervisors approved the Roper Lane was dedicated to the public on the plat of Birdie Glenn 3 Subdivision 00:27:51
at Verde Lane. The Board of Supervisors approved the flat back in January 29, 1969, and it was officially filed. 00:27:59
As Plat map #393 Roper Lane is not maintained by the county, it did answer the Forest Service boundary. 00:28:08
The floor service has expressed that they're not interested in Roper Lane being used as a vehicular access to the Forest Service 00:28:15
and and basically there they have no objections through a Roper Lane abandonment or in this particular case in exchange. 00:28:24
While reviewing a recent survey of a partial 30205001 W, we discovered that the floor Service 199 or Service Road 199, which runs 00:28:33
along the West and N lines of this parcel and is maintained by the county, encroaches onto the parcel. In some places the 00:28:43
encroachment is up to seven feet. In other places it's it's one foot or something like that. But there is. 00:28:53
Areas of encroachment. 00:29:03
And this survey was reported as a regular survey map number 5465. We consulted with the County Attorney to determine the 00:29:06
feasibility of processing a roadway exchange. In other words, the Deckers apply for a roadway abandonment. We offered them a 00:29:14
roadway exchange Roper Lane for the encroachments on Forest Service Road 199. 00:29:21
And that's what we're bringing to the board. It was concluded that the roadway exchange method criterias outlined in State 00:29:30
statutes 28 Dash 7203, the applicant has a brief as a ropeway exchange. The roadway exchange will benefit the applicant, the 00:29:38
county and the forest, if you will, because it will restrict vehicular access into the Forest Service area. 00:29:46
Today we have a group of people that want to voice a different opinion. 00:29:54
To the board, and I believe that there's a representative for the Deckers here as well for the Deckers. 00:29:59
The. 00:30:07
The roadway exchange and so we're going to listen to to the other side of concern. The roadway exchange we believe is in the best 00:30:12
interest of the public because. 00:30:16
Rope for service wrote 199 Umm. 00:30:21
Has a width of 24 foot and a 7 foot encroachment. Does indeed two way travel on the road? 00:30:27
Umm, going the roadway exchange that we want both a little bit beyond the edge of the road. In other words, it allows for a 00:30:37
shoulder. The roadway exchange is almost equal in area and let me. 00:30:45
The what we're asking is for an exchange of 4190 square feet of unneeded Roper Lane in exchange for the acquisition of 4027 square 00:30:57
feet. 00:31:01
Partial 30205001 W for a for a new 4 service road 199 right of way. So the exchange is is approximately equal. And one of the 00:31:07
things that we looked at was not only do we need the exact prism of the travel way, but we needed shoulders as well beyond the 00:31:16
prison of the roadway and and that's the reason for those, those square footages. 00:31:25
With that, I would like to. 00:31:35
Entertain questions and also. 00:31:37
Asked the board to see if there's an interest in listening to the folks that are here today to express their opinions. 00:31:40
Thank you, Romero. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:31:48
If there's other comments, I'd like to hear other comments before I had questions or anything of that nature. All right, we'll 00:31:51
proceed to that after I ask Mr. Klein if he has any questions at this juncture. I too wait. I understand what homeless saying, so 00:31:58
I'd like to hear what these other folks have to say as well. OK, I have several requests. We have three people in Payson and we 00:32:04
have a few people here. 00:32:10
So I would like to call forward then and if you could be briefing your comments. 00:32:18
We like to limit people to three minutes, but I understand. 00:32:23
Some flexibility can be allowed. I would like to call Mr. Hunt Winston, who lives on Roper Lane. 00:32:28
137 N Roper Lane, adjacent to. 00:32:36
Lot #40. 00:32:42
Thank you. 00:32:46
Good morning and thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today. My name is Hunt Winston. I actually live. 00:32:51
Not the scale, but I live right there. I'm also in have been the president of the Property Owners Association for the last 3 1/2 00:32:56
years and have been a resident there for four years. First, I want to say in a way it feels a little bit like a bait and switch to 00:33:04
go forward with or start with a, an application for abandonment or declaring that roadway abandoned and then changing it around to 00:33:11
a land exchange. The significant difference in that and what what concerns me about that is one of those requires. 00:33:18
That anything that looks like a public land exchange should be open to the public and to comment and input. 00:33:57
Secondly, and I sent an e-mail yesterday, so I'm not going to read that e-mail. I'm not going to go through it again. I just want 00:34:04
to cover kind of a couple of new things. First off, I really do think this portion of of Broker Lane, not the portion that's part 00:34:10
of the estate, but where the new dead end would be. This is where my line is here, this new dead end here, this area here. You'll 00:34:16
notice in the photographs that I shared with you, the 1st 2 photographs, 1 is. 00:34:22
Flooding, it's about 5 or 6 feet high of water because that culvert wasn't working underneath Roper Lane. And that's that area 00:34:28
right here. 00:34:32
The ditch that the big, the big sunken areas right here, the Clover is right here is usually river right here. So that flood at 00:34:37
least significantly floods at least one time a year if not a couple of times a year depending on how the mountain rains go. That 00:34:44
area also erodes considerably. So the second photograph you'll see is the debris that came across when that water flooded. The 00:34:51
culvert couldn't handle the load and the water came over the roadway and it eroded on both sides of Roper Lane. 00:34:59
Additional load of large trucks, trailers or anything else turning around in that vicinity. So I would propose that before the 00:35:36
Board of Supervisors were to consider this proposal that a geotechnical review should be required to determine whether or not 00:35:42
that's a viable place for a dead end on Roper Lane. 00:35:47
Secondly, Roper Lane is not abandoned. Roper Lane is used every single day, not only by vehicle traffic, but also by foot traffic, 00:35:54
myself included, my family included, and others in our neighborhood and community and the public for access to the force. Now, 00:36:00
like Mr. Veiler said, not vehicular access to the forest, but walking access into the forest and into the East Verde River. If 00:36:06
this land exchange were to continue, that Open Access would be closed down permanently. So a fee, a main feature of our 00:36:12
neighborhood. Birdie Glen 3 and Birdie Glenn. 00:36:18
Specifically, the policies and procedures for Hula County for land exchanges. 00:36:53
And Arizona Revised Statutes for land exchanges notes specifically the exchanges are authorized for an abutting landowner. If it 00:36:57
is for a new road, meaning it's being exchanged for a new road. This is not a new road, right? The minimal and it doesn't look 00:37:04
minimal in this drawing significant, but this is actually very minimal. So the last photograph that you'll see is Forest Rd. 199 00:37:11
is here by the gate area and you can see the the whole. 00:37:18
Caution tape that shows a line from this point to this one. And it's only a few feet that actually are. And I would propose that 00:37:26
those few feet are actually the build up of that driveway. And so that's not actually impacting the road here in any way. And then 00:37:31
over here when the shape is on the north side is a very substantial and significant decline. So it's a huge slope. So the two 00:37:37
markers that are on the road, they're actually on the shoulder of the road. 00:37:42
I appreciate again the time to speak to you. 00:38:17
I wrote a few other items in my in my notes that I sent yesterday, but for those reasons, I would I would really strongly request 00:38:20
that you consider or ask the County Attorney and Mr. Vela to withdraw this proposal at this time until they can get a geotechnical 00:38:25
permit done. And then before they bring it back with that geotechnical review, that they also go down the process of opening it up 00:38:31
for public notification and public comments. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Winston, and if we do have specific questions, 00:38:36
I'll call you back up. OK. 00:38:42
All right. So Mr. Harper is also indicated here and we also have Mr. David West, which is here. 00:38:48
And Miss Deckers here. And so Mr. Harper, are you here to speak for them? 00:38:56
Or OK, would you like to come forward and do that? 00:39:02
There's also people I believe, yes. Are you speaking for? 00:39:06
Barbara and Jay Cuomo and David Owens as well. I know. OK, thank you, Chairman, Members of the board. I, I'm really here primarily 00:39:10
to answer any questions. But since you've heard a little bit, I'll, I'll talk a little bit about what you've just heard. One 00:39:16
thing, this suggestion that there's a bait and switch going on is, is not true. This was initially applied for as an abandonment, 00:39:22
but then the county and the homework came to us and said, look, we've got a better way to do this in a way that's actually going 00:39:28
to benefit the county. 00:39:34
Because of the encroachments here. 00:39:40
On on the on the Decker property. This is the Decker property. This is a Decker property. 00:39:42
So you end up it's not an abandoned exchange piece to connect us to peace, which allows utilities to be brought back and forth. 00:39:48
That's actually whatever along the streets and what's being proposed benefits the county a lot because all the green area here is 00:39:54
where the road currently approaches. And so that would end that encroachment allowing this exchange within that encroachment and 00:40:00
would would have the road actually be on on public property. So this has not been abated switch at all. It's actually the county's 00:40:06
idea to do the. 00:40:11
I think frankly is a good one and my clients are supportive of it. The the process is governed by a different statute and this is 00:40:18
for instability to talk about different statute that deals with roadway exchanges as opposed to abandonment and it doesn't require 00:40:25
a public notice. So there's no posting done under that statute is actually a case specific Court of Appeals case that deals with 00:40:32
that. And Mr. Winston obviously has heard about this and he's had the chance to to comment anyways. 00:40:39
In terms of access to the forest. 00:40:48
There's a lot of access to the forest in this area. And Mr. Winston property is here. I happen to know that he has access to the 00:40:51
river. Bacteria has access this way. And he also all you have to do is walk here and there's access right here. So the idea that 00:40:58
this is going to cut off access to the force is is just not true. There's there's a lot of forest access in the county has gone 00:41:05
through the work and Mr. Warren in particular, I think did a lot of work to come up with these. 00:41:13
Particular additional area to be picked up and I don't, I don't think there's been any homework and talk about this if he wants 00:41:21
to, but this idea that there should be a geotechnical survey and that sort of stuff, I just don't think that's required. I think 00:41:27
the counties already covered those bases. So I'm here to answer any questions that that you might have. I know that there will be 00:41:34
some other people speaking in favor of this. In fact, just to give you some perspective, Mr. W is here. 00:41:41
He owns a nice property up and then Mr. Owens, I think is it Payson Owens, I believe the next property of and then the Cuomo is on 00:41:49
the next property up. So most of the people on Roper Lane are actually in favor of this. 00:41:54
OK. Thank you for your presentation. And if we want to ask questions, I'll call you back up. Mr. W, did you have anything you 00:42:02
wanted to comment? 00:42:06
OK, comment, you know, as far as approval or I think it's a good idea, support, So you have a vote for support. And then in Payson 00:42:11
we have Barbara and Jay Cuomo also owned property and residents on Roper Lane. Do they wish to speak this morning? 00:42:20
Yes. 00:42:33
Go ahead. 00:42:37
You know, I didn't get there of. 00:42:39
The. 00:42:42
And I am now in David. 00:42:43
OK. So you're in favor of the proposal today? 00:42:55
I think they were. 00:43:00
OK. 00:43:10
Thank you. Is that all from the Cuomo's? 00:43:12
OK. 00:43:16
It's kind of hard to hear, but we have Mr. David Owens as well, a owner on Roper Lane. 00:43:17
That we do need to have 199 taken care of and two, we do need to be in the purple line called soft. 00:43:45
We are totally in favor of this change. 00:43:54
Thank you, Mr. Owens. 00:44:05
Don't believe we have anyone else. 00:44:09
Yeah. 00:44:18
Say something and who's? Who's speaking now? Who's speaking now? 00:44:21
Okay. 00:44:28
Of ugly moments. 00:44:31
Chairman Samantha. 00:44:33
OK, excuse me. 00:44:40
OK. 00:44:50
Let me interrupt. OK, Hang on just a second. We're having trouble here. And because of the microphone or something getting 00:44:52
everything recorded properly, Samantha can't hear the comments. And so I believe that's Mr. Cuomo speaking and he was mentioning 00:45:01
something about a campground. Mr. Cuomo, can we sum it up that you're in favor of this land exchange? 00:45:10
Correct. 00:45:21
OK. All right. I think we've heard all the various arguments. So, Supervisor Humphrey, do you have anything you'd like to? 00:45:21
Ask no, I'm not. 00:45:29
Not really The only comment I'd like to have is any, any roads that are maintained that have violations in the road or 00:45:34
encroachments. We, I think it's our responsibility to try to fix that the best way that we can And, and so I. 00:45:43
That's, that's, that's just my comments on, on that. And so if we, if we have a road where we're encroaching on other properties, 00:45:53
then I, I think we need to, to come up with a solution to fix that. And, and from what I understand, there's more people that have 00:46:02
the appreciation for the fix that our engineers have come up with. 00:46:10
Then are not in support of that. 00:46:20
Thank you. 00:46:24
Supervisor Klein. 00:46:25
Jessica. 00:46:29
Did we cover all our bases? 00:46:31
Chairman, member, supervisors, I just have one more question for Romero, if you wouldn't mind just explaining that green area 00:46:35
again, what the statute requires is that there's an exchange for all or part of a new road. So I just need clarification that that 00:46:42
green area is part of a new road. 00:46:49
They're going to set up a a map that I have. 00:47:02
So that I better answer that question. 00:47:05
OK. This is the same map that we were looking at earlier, just on your board, on your on the agenda. 00:47:31
Red lines in your purplish lines. That is the road where the road travels today. That's a road prism if you will. That's the 00:47:39
actual road to the best of our surveyors abilities. 00:47:45
The encroachment. 00:47:52
The. 00:47:56
The area that we're looking. 00:47:59
Foundry of the of this partial 00 W is this line right here. 00:48:02
So in this particular section we're approaching 8.7 sheet. 00:48:09
OK, the additional. 00:48:14
Area that we're looking here for our shoulder is 5.7 feet. So when you move with the look at this is what one of the flags was 00:48:19
there. This is where another flag was there at the first one is very limited here, a little bit more here, almost nothing here. So 00:48:25
that's just where where the flags happen to have been located far as when the surveyor gave you the connection of how much this 00:48:31
road improves on this property with 8.7 feet. 00:48:38
So the green area shows the property that we would be obtaining in exchange for overlay. 00:48:45
A great hash area and it includes both that road enforcement, but in some cases some shoulders OK. 00:48:53
Thank you, Chairman, member, supervisor. So I understand that the encroachment is. 00:49:03
Part of the road. So when we acquire that area, you're saying that it is part of the new road because it continues to be the road. 00:49:09
It's not like a shoulder is what I'm getting at. That green area is not just a shoulder. It is part of the roadway. 00:49:18
So we're we're acquiring a section of the roadway, but in some cases a shoulder. 00:49:28
Chairman, member, supervisors, it does look like the statute is complied with. It is not a requirement that we acquire a new road, 00:49:37
just a part of a new road, and it looks like we've got that here. 00:49:43
So. 00:49:51
Homer or Jessica, you're one of the. 00:49:52
We make this swap and that green becomes the road basically 199, right? 00:49:56
The Forest Service is going to retain that road that will always be a Forest Service Rd. In this particular area we have it's 00:50:05
called Forest Service 199, but we're acquiring easements. We're acquiring quick plain for something for for something that has 00:50:11
already been quick claimed to us. This is private land going through the forest and on both sides. It's called Forest Service 199. 00:50:17
People refer to this section As for Service 199. This is not. 00:50:23
For service property, that road happens to be it exists today, happens to be Kela County property, OK. So having FS 199 on there 00:50:30
whatever it is kind of misleading to me. 00:50:37
Correct for that section, immediately as it leaves the subdivision it becomes Forest Service 199 because it is on the forest. 00:50:45
That point, I get that. OK, so I'm gonna ask a question. Might as well just ask all the questions we need to today. We're all 00:50:53
here. How was it ever talked about as far as Roper Lane been in that easement Plumb back up the up the road there to where the 199 00:50:59
takes off. 00:51:04
As I've been discussed, or maybe I'm playing devil's advocate, but I like to hear some. 00:51:10
In 1994 Survey 855 Chairman needs to come up. 00:51:17
We we need to have you at the microphone. 00:51:23
Had the answer to that because I look at it in 1994, there was a survey, it shows a number of 855 and it's in the records online 00:51:27
and it does show a proposed roadway extension. That's not what this is about. So that would be a new road extending local lane to 00:51:33
this road here. So you would have easy access to versions M3. That's not what we're talking about. We're not talking about a new 00:51:40
road at all. We're talking about the existing Rd. only today and then potentially you know. 00:51:47
Abandoning Roper Lane at the end. 00:51:55
Which there is no access to the forest or any vehicles outside of us today. So that there was a survey in 90 at least in the 94 00:51:58
that somebody had proposed going and extending Roper Lane. I asked that question because of all the going in your photos, you 00:52:04
know, you mentioned that how Roper Lane benches down right there where the proposal is to cut it off now and it's not very 00:52:09
adequate for a turn around. 00:52:15
But that was backed up the roadways back up there further, I mean. 00:52:22
Much higher so it doesn't flood, it's not prone to any flooding issues or anything else, and it's much more room to turn around 00:53:28
large vehicles as opposed to where the proposed proposal is today. 00:53:32
Sorry, anything else? 00:53:39
I hear what you're saying, I guess I just haven't heard my question answered specifically yet and Cassie didn't turn that map 00:53:42
around to what we had on there. Please. 00:53:47
Yep. Nope, that's it. 00:53:56
And just bring it up where we can see it. Good. And there you go. So I'm just just just asking this question. I'm not saying this 00:53:58
is a way to go because you guys are all the property owners and and all that, But where it's proposed for the land exchange, let's 00:54:04
just call it that there, Benjamin, right there below Roper. Yeah. And so have you guys thought because it's not going to go 00:54:10
anywhere anyway. 00:54:16
So have you thought about moving that abandonment up to like the end of lane right there or something like that? 00:54:23
And cutting it off. 00:54:29
I mean, I would assume that property owners own 1/2 and the other property owners own the other half of that road. That's what I 00:54:31
would assume. Maybe that's not cool, but it's not. That's not actually true. So property lines and there's 48 feet. 00:54:38
Between this property line here and this property line here 48. 00:54:44
Property owners actually don't own any of them. 00:54:51
No 'cause it's an easement. 00:54:55
Right. 00:54:57
There should be an opportunity to make a turn around up here as well. A 38 foot is compared to four service. 19938 feet is a wide 00:55:15
easement compared to. 00:55:20
The 24th week we have with Ford service 199. Just to clarify, 199 here is about 12 feet higher in elevation and so there's only 00:55:27
about 7 or 8 feet between them. They run parallel here and so it's a very, extremely steep. So you couldn't even create a dead end 00:55:34
here and just hide it in the road here. It wouldn't work because it's so steep. 00:55:41
OK, 10 seconds just to I think I can answer your question maybe a little more directly. 00:55:54
This got abandoned. There's no access to this course. 00:56:02
This is the only access to this. 00:56:07
She owns the other side, right? 00:56:11
There so there is access to that property for. Either way I. 00:56:14
Well, you'd have to create some, that's true. You'd have to create some kind of access across. But I don't think that there's ever 00:56:21
been any real plan to to dedicate or to seek an abandonment of it. 00:56:27
Go for it. Are you? Yeah. OK. Yeah. So just a few comments on my part. I'm very familiar with the area. I've worked in that area. 00:56:36
I know where the Comos live, I know where the Owens live. I know where Dave lives. I know where your property is, and I know where 00:56:44
the Bizantes live. So I'm familiar. And there used to be a gate across there. Apparently that gate no longer exists, so. 00:56:52
Homeroom. I don't really have any more questions. It seemed like the main complaints are. 00:57:04
If there's complaints, the main complaints are the process. 00:57:10
That it happened the non notification is an issue and. 00:57:14
And we're bringing in some other issues about flooding and stuff, which is really not what we're talking about today. 00:57:21
Umm, it is a very steep area, uh. 00:57:28
Redirecting Forest Service Road 199, if we call it that, it would be much more problematic. Maybe this solution so. 00:57:34
That's my opinion. Is there any more discussion whom I know that we need to have? 00:57:41
I'll just offer that. 00:57:49
We have typically undertaken roadway exchanges without following the. 00:57:52
Procedures that state tax is very clear applies to a road abandonment. 00:57:58
And the both our policy. 00:58:05
That we follow for roadway exchanges, the policy only refers to the state statue and the state statue is 1 short little paragraph 00:58:11
and it doesn't, it doesn't really bring into play all the other notifications. So on this road exchange, we treated it like we've 00:58:17
done all of the roadway exchanges. 00:58:23
OK. And yes, there is some public concern and we've allowed for for some of that today given very little notification as as Hunt 00:58:29
Winston pointed out, he just found out about it Friday. But I think we've heard of what they have to say. And if there is an 00:58:36
erosion issue that was either permitted and with unintended consequences or not permitted, we can we can investigate that as as 00:58:43
requested. 00:58:50
Other than that, I don't have anything else to add. 00:58:58
Thank you, Camaro. Anything further, Supervisor Humphrey? 00:59:01
Just one question on that. Would there and turn around seem to be one of the questions. Is there room to turn around if that 00:59:06
exchange is made? 00:59:12
I can get first hand. 00:59:19
Wait, wait, wait. I didn't ask you. 00:59:20
It is a 34 foot wide. 00:59:23
Right away. OK. So, so where they turn around now I was in a 34 foot there, there is 30, I'm sorry, 38 foot wide, 19 on 8, that's 00:59:27
what that's that's what they're given to turn around in now, is that correct? So, so we're not we're not making the turnaround any 00:59:33
smaller. 00:59:38
And if there's a culvert issue? 00:59:45
On the road then then that's a maintenance issue of whoever maintains that road. Is that correct? The property owners that OK? 00:59:49
Yeah, no, but if the culverts are not working, it it it's a maintenance issue. That's correct. OK. All right. That that's all the 00:59:55
questions I have. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:00:02
No, I don't. 01:00:11
I don't think I have any more. 01:00:13
I understand the issues with access to the river or whatever, but that's kind of a different deal to me. 01:00:17
And I, no, I don't have any more questions. Thank you, supervisor. With that, I'll call for a motion. 01:00:27
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-10-03 and authorized determinant signature on the related footprint deed. 01:00:33
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve this item. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion 01:00:42
carries. Thank you. 01:00:46
65 and three H information discussion action to review the bid submitted for request for proposals number 072124 Campaign Creek 01:00:53
post fire project survey and clean up of asbestos of up to 10 homes and award a contract to the most responsive, responsible and 01:01:00
qualified bidder. Alex. Thank you Mr. Chair, Board again, this is another Campaign Creek discussion and we'll have one more 01:01:07
following or two more following this. 01:01:15
So this is the. 01:01:22
Request to award the contract to Native Environmental LLC. 01:01:25
As you know we went out forbid for both the asbestos and the demolition and so this would be the asbestos cleanup of the 10 homes 01:01:31
in Campaign Creek. The bid we're open that the bids were opened at 2:00 on September 19th and evaluated according to ARS 412533 01:01:40
for competitive bidding. As this is FEMA funded money, we needed to do things through. 01:01:48
That met up with ARS and we had one bidder and that bidder was Aid Environmental LLC and they met all the requirements for the 01:01:58
asbestos cleanup. So we would like to award this contract to them. Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:02:05
Now, yeah, as best as it comes up and invites you in some of these demo deals, and I don't believe that all of the homes do have 01:02:13
asbestos traps, just tile or roofing or something of that nature. Yes. So in the contract they'll have to do the survey, determine 01:02:20
what what the extent of the expenses in each of the 10 homes and then remediate them. OK, great. And, and, and just as a side 01:02:27
note, I don't know if it's possible or not, but I also know that the road crew is. 01:02:34
Working on some culverts in that area that are also asbestos. And I don't want to muddy the water too much because I know we're 01:02:43
under the gun for 12 months to get this finished. But if there's two or three culverts that are asbestos as well, and then we can 01:02:50
work it with the road crew and, and maybe save a little money and get all the US to sell that area at the same time. But anyway, 01:02:57
that that's all. Thank you very much for, for what you do. 01:03:03
Thank you supervisor client. 01:03:11
We have covert with asbestos in. 01:03:14
That's a source of a different color. So that's not good for the campaign 3 projects here. That's what that's not that that 01:03:17
doesn't deal with the campaign project. It just deals with the Roosevelt State's area and. 01:03:24
Yeah. I'll have to talk with our Deputy Director after this meeting to address Supervisor Humphries statement there. I'd be. I'd 01:03:31
be interested to hear parts of that discussion when you get ready. 01:03:37
That's all I had, OK. 01:03:45
Thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call for a motion. 01:03:47
Sure. I move to award a contract to Native Environmental LLC in the not to exceed amount of $60,000 in response to the request for 01:03:50
proposal number 072124. I'll second that Mr. Chair motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 01:04:02
Alex. We have information, discussion and action to review the bids submitted for invitation for bid number 071924. 01:04:14
Campaign Creek Coast Fire project, demolition of 10 homes and award contract to the. 01:04:22
Lowest, most responsive, responsible and qualified bidder. 01:04:26
Chairman Board, thank you again. So this is for the same project. This is for the demolition contract. So again, we went out for 01:04:31
bid. The bids were opened at 2:00 PM on September 19th and they were evaluated again according to ARS 412533 for competitive 01:04:39
bidding to make sure that we met Fema's requirements for awarding of the bid, Brend Holt Contracting Company. 01:04:47
Was the lowest. 01:04:56
Most, most responsive, responsible, qualified bidder for ARS at the amount of $89,677.00. So we would like to award the bid to 01:04:59
them and hopefully get this project wrapped up. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:05:06
Yeah. No, I don't, I don't have any. I don't have any questions. I do have a comment though. I want to thank staff very much for 01:05:16
doing the walkthroughs and to do a walk through to to help local contractors to be able to do the walkthrough and to get bids 01:05:25
from, from local contractors on this. And I and I thank you very much for that. I do. 01:05:33
Supervisor Klein, how many bids did we have on this? So for the demolition, we had four bids, 4 bids. And this brand hall 01:05:44
contracting, are they local or unfortunately they are not? 01:05:50
Again, per ARS, as the lowest bidder. So they're out of Apache Junction. Gilbert. Gilbert. OK, thank you. Yeah, thank you, Alex. 01:05:56
With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to award a contract to bring Hope Contracting Company in the 01:06:05
amount of $89,677 in response to invitation for bids number 071224. 01:06:14
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 01:06:24
The item number was 071924. That what you read? I'm sorry, I just misheard it. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in 01:06:27
favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. And next item is 3J. OK. We have information, discussion action to authorize the advertisement 01:06:37
of request for proposal number 082924, Design Services for flood protection at Campaign Creek. 01:06:46
In Roosevelt State community to select an engineering firm to analyze and design a project to protect the residents of Roosevelt 01:06:56
Estates from severe weather events that caused flood events in Campaign Creek. Alex. So thank you chairman, board supervisors. So 01:07:03
we're calling this the North Bank project. So as we just got approvals for everything moving forward with the Campaign Creek 01:07:10
buyout that will address. 01:07:16
Most of the flooding issues that occur between. 01:07:24
Mesquite St. and Campaign Creek itself. This agenda item here is a request for design services to look at the area in a larger 01:07:28
view and see what else we can do to actually mitigate flooding damages in that area. So our NS boundary would be E Street to Palm 01:07:36
Drive and then the east West boundary would be the. 01:07:44
Roosevelt Lake States and we would be using part of the allocated. 01:07:53
2.1 million from the Woodbury Fire Mitigation Fund. 01:07:58
To move forward with looking at making it so that not just the bio, but the entirety of Campaign Creek will be addressed in in the 01:08:03
flooding capacities. 01:08:08
Hey, President Humphrey. Yeah. And, and what, what created all of this is. 01:08:14
What a couple years ago the state awarded us $3,000,000 for buyout of these homes and we also put in for a grant and the grant has 01:08:22
taken an awful long time to get approved. But with the patience of the constituents and the patience of the staff and willingness 01:08:29
of the staff, we held off on that because we didn't have a restriction time on when we had to spend that money. 01:08:36
And so we were able to to wait until we heard from the grant and we did get the grant, which is a great thing. And it still gave 01:08:44
us this $3,000,000 to work on campaign creep. And so not only are we able to do the buyout, but then when it came before the board 01:08:54
for us to give the homeowners the full appraised value that's coming out of this $3,000,000 and then also to that leaves us money. 01:09:04
To do some work on the Northside to prevent any damage to those residences on the north side. We still have that leftover money 01:09:14
and that's kind of been the plan for the last two years and and it came to fruition. But had we not gotten the grant and all of 01:09:20
that money would have gone to do the demolition of the home. So it's, it's been a long project. It's been a lot of work and. I 01:09:26
think. 01:09:33
Staff very much and I stayed and I thank the constituents for being patient with this to let us try to be as intelligent with the 01:09:40
financing that we could be and and. 01:09:45
And as luck would have it, or the Lord would have it, it turned out. So thank you very much for all the work. And, and now we can 01:09:51
have some money to do some more work there, which will just continue to help that area because years ago there was a buyout 01:09:58
because it took homes down the Creek. So it's been a long process and I just want to thank everybody very much. 01:10:05
The supervisor client. I'm good. Thank you, Alex. Yeah, Thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call for motion As chair. I move to 01:10:14
authorize the advertisement of request for proposal number 082924. 01:10:20
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. Hey, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you Alex. 01:10:29
And item 3K information, discussion action to authorize the advertisement of invitations for bid number 0824245 New Ford vehicles 01:10:38
to purchase 1 Ford F-250 Crew Cab 4 by 4 pickup truck, 2 Ford F-150 Crew Cab 4 by 4 pickup trucks and two Ford. 01:10:48
350 Crew Cab Format 4. 01:10:58
Trucks, thank you. Thank you, Chairman and Board. 01:11:01
Umm, everyone of these contracts that we bring in front of you. 01:11:05
Our finance manager Eric plays your role in this and actually she's been, this has been quite a year for, for her and and her 01:11:10
staff to put together all the different contract that we're trying to, to engage both for rope repair. 01:11:18
Campaign Creek and and vehicles like this one that you're going to hear today. This is about 5 new vehicles for her. 01:11:27
In buying these five new vehicles, some of them have anywhere from 130,000 miles to 226,000 miles. We are returning, we are we are 01:11:35
putting into the auction of nine old vehicles. So it's more than A1 for one. One of the things that you see in the five vehicles 01:11:42
their Crew Cab. In other words more than one person can drive in in in that pickup truck and sometimes we do send the crew to go 01:11:49
work on. 01:11:56
And so we have to take one truck instead of multiple trucks. That's the idea in in some cases you see some dump trucks that maybe 01:12:04
weren't getting the service that we were utilizing and no sense hanging on to it if we're not going to use it. So nonetheless, we 01:12:12
are turning into auction 9 vehicles, some of them with a whole lot of miles and we are looking to buy 5 new vehicles. 01:12:21
And they are for administration and engineering, as well as the road yard team itself. 01:12:30
OK. So with that, I would like to ask your approval to advertise bids for five new Ford vehicles. Thank you, homeroom Supervisor 01:12:36
Humphrey. 01:12:41
I have no question. 01:12:50
Yeah, I'm good. Thanks. Tomorrow. Yeah, I'm good too. I'll call promoted. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the 01:12:53
advertisement of invitation for bids number 082424. 01:13:00
I'll second that you have a motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:13:07
Thank you. 01:13:14
Thank you for now. 01:13:15
Trying to figure out who got in Payson. OK so item number 3L this is my item. All three of the supervisors have contributed 01:13:17
significantly to this. It's information discussion action to approve the economic development agreement number 09052024 between 01:13:25
Hilo county and circa, which is the community educational, recreation and civic association in the amount of $33,500 with the 01:13:32
board determined to be for the benefit of the. 01:13:39
I don't believe we have a representative from Circa here today. Circa is a nonprofit association that takes care of multiple 01:13:47
buildings in the Pine area that belong to the Pine school system. They're old buildings. They're part of the original school 01:13:54
churches and things like that. And they're they suffer with a lack of funds to make the improvements necessary to continue with 01:14:02
the various civic and community projects that occur in. 01:14:09
Locations. So this particular sum of money is to improve the HVAC systems throughout the buildings and I appreciate very much the 01:14:17
willingness of the other supervisors to contribute to this fairly significant amount of money. So with that, I'll answer any 01:14:26
questions I have. No questions. Supervisor Klein? No, I'm good. Thank you. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 01:14:34
Mr. Chair, I move to approve the economic development Agreement number 09052024 with Community, Education, Recreational and Civic 01:14:46
Association as presented, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. 01:14:55
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, thank you very much. Item 3 M 01:15:05
also my item, it's a annual request. It's information discussion, action to approve economic development agreement number 09042024 01:15:12
between Hugh County and the Pine Strawberry fuel reduction in the amount of $5000 to provide residents with free brush removal to 01:15:20
reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. 01:15:27
Which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. This is a very active 501C3 group of volunteers that run a 01:15:35
brush pit. They also help residents do firewise. They also create trail systems in order to provide greater and better access for 01:15:42
anyone that needs to get into the forest recreationally and also for. 01:15:50
Fire prevention, et cetera. So this is part of their annual request. And so I will answer any questions. The supervisor Humphrey, 01:15:59
I have no questions. Supervisor Klein. I'm good, Mr. Chair. OK, then I'll call for a motion. 01:16:07
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement number 09042024 with pine strawberry fuel reduction as 01:16:15
presented, which the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Carroll, I'll second that. OK, we have a motion 01:16:24
and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you very much. Item 3 and also my item. 01:16:33
It just happened that all this kind of came together in one meeting, so. 01:16:42
3 N is information discussion action to approve economic development agreement number 0302024 between county and the Tunnel 01:16:47
research and Rescue Squad incorporated A501C3 in the amount of $15,519.78 to purchase and elevate search and rescue motor kit and 01:16:57
a 7 by 12 tandem axle enclosed trailer which the. 01:17:07
To be for the benefit of the public, this is a request brought to me for two items. The first item, which is called the Elevate 01:17:17
Search and Rescue Motor Kit is like a Gurney with a battery powered wheel to assist in very difficult extractions when needed such 01:17:25
as Fossil Creek and the 7 by 12 tandem axle trailer is to provide. 01:17:33
A better and newer storage for I believe the scuba diving and we have Mr. Bill Curly. 01:17:43
Apparently today he's head of the Tunnel Rim Search and Rescue. Mr. Piddley, would you like to add any comments? 01:17:50
Yes, thank you. 01:17:58
We've been involved in 323 times this year and that is one of our most typical third extractions and this. 01:18:05
Probably within the last year, but it's being done by a group of bicycles. California. There are shows out there. 01:18:20
Together and make this work. And so they did, and. 01:18:32
Videos that I have seen on it and the reviews that been able to find on it, it shows like fossil springs, like Monopoly trail they 01:18:36
say it can do. 01:18:43
5 miles and 3000 with elevation game. We're at all around 3 miles. 15116 hundred foot elevation games. I think that it would 01:18:50
actually work out well. 01:18:56
I have had on several pages I had to call on the helicopter to get someone out of there because I did not have enough staff that 01:19:03
that was able to respond. 01:19:09
Somebody because I had people fight up on other missions. Greatly busy this year. We're in 84 mission so far at 1:00 last night 01:19:15
again. 01:19:19
Anyway, and then the slope water trailer. 01:19:25
And we wore out our last one endless squad for at least 10 years, probably longer. And. 01:19:30
You know, we're a little rough on our clothes sometimes. 01:19:40
And. 01:19:45
Regarding the level that we're turning in. So I appreciate this opportunity. 01:19:48
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:19:54
I have no questions. 01:19:57
Supervisor Klein, I really don't get to comment. You know, I think we cut him off his children. 01:20:00
Did I cut you off, Bill? 01:20:09
OK. 01:20:14
OK, sorry. OK, I have no question. OK, Yeah, that's just becoming cool to see how it works. So yeah. 01:20:16
I'm good. 01:20:23
Well, if you'd like, go down into Fossil Creek, have an injury and I don't want to go down there. 01:20:25
Unless I'm on someone with four legs. OK, thank you very much. I don't really have any comments. I, I, well, I do, I guess. I. 01:20:30
I really enjoy benefiting the search and rescue people. They're all volunteer. It's a great organization and this helps with the 01:20:40
health and safety of the public county wide. So happy to be able to help. So with that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I move 01:20:47
to approve economic development agreement number 09302024 with the Tunnel Rim Search and Rescue Squad incorporated as presented, 01:20:54
which. 01:21:02
Has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Chair. I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in 01:21:09
favor say aye aye. Thank you, Bill. Thank you, gentlemen. Our next item is an item number 4 consent agenda items. We have item A 01:21:18
through F Supervisor Humphrey. Any one or more items you'd like to remove from the consent agenda to discuss. 01:21:26
No, I'm good. Thank you. OK, same question to you, Supervisor Klein. 01:21:35
No, I'm good. 01:21:41
OK. All right. Then I will call for a motion to approve consent agenda items for A through F So moved, Mr. Chair, I'll second it. 01:21:43
All right, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you. 01:21:51
Lisa, do we have anyone in Payson for call to the public item number 5? 01:22:01
OK, Cassandra, how many do we have on the Internet today? 01:22:07
50 oh, that's a good number. And we don't have anyone that wishes to speak, OK. 01:22:13
And anyone here in the boardroom? No. OK, so let's move on to item number six, which is the. 01:22:17
What do you call it? We'll call it a presentation of the county manager and supervisors. So, Mr. Manager. 01:22:30
Mr. Chairman, remember the Board attended with you last week the County Supervisors Association Legislative Summit preparation for 01:22:40
the upcoming legislative session that starts in January. 01:22:45
Very productive meetings. And then also this week, we'll be attending the Arizona Department of Transportation Rural 01:22:52
Transportation Summit in Prescott. I think it's important to have representation there because of the ongoing projects that we 01:23:00
continue to try to support and bring to Healer County, one of those being the Lion Springs project, 4 miles of widening. 01:23:09
The 260 highway in Northern Arizona. 01:23:19
Just a short summary of why that's why it's important is that the Land Springs project was on the. 01:23:24
Arizona Department of Transportation list of projects for a number of years was planned to be enacted then as Mr. Stratton former 01:23:31
Public Works director for Healer County stated that nobody representing Healer County went to these meetings and went to there to 01:23:37
advocators support these projects in the council has dropped from the Arizona Department of transportation list of projects to be 01:23:44
completed. 01:23:50
It is not back now on line Springs is back on the Arizona Department of Transportation projects and it was acquisition of property 01:23:57
obtained right away and within the next year or so is scheduled to start construction of that widening project. So important that 01:24:04
we keep ourselves in the game and supporting the projects in Gila County. So that's the reason to attend the Arizona Department of 01:24:11
Transportation Rural Transportation Summit. 01:24:19
Week in Prescott. Thank you, Mr. Chen. 01:24:26
Supervisor Humphrey. 01:24:30
Also, agenda, the PSA Legislative Policy Summit will do every year. We didn't do anything this year kind of sneaks up on us and 01:24:33
without knowing ahead of time that it just kind of slips by. And so anyway, but there was a lot of lot of good discussion. I held 01:24:40
a Roosevelt dumpster day on Saturday. 01:24:48
And I called the metal scrapper. Usually I take my truck and trailer for the tires and the metal. 01:24:57
And then everything else can go in the dumpster so that when they get back to the landfill, they don't have to sort all the stuff. 01:25:03
And so anyway, this year I called a metal scrapper to see if he was interested. And I'm sure glad that they did because not only 01:25:10
did we fill a dumpster and 1/2 with just stuff, he took like 4 loads of metal. There was washers, dryers, hot water. You can't 01:25:18
imagine the the metal bicycle that everything in the world got. I've been. 01:25:25
For about 3 days I was doing it by myself. So anyway, that turned out pretty good and it was a it was a good clean up day at 01:25:33
Roosevelt and I held a Roosevelt community meeting yesterday at 1:00. I was on KQSS radio last night at 5:30 and that's about it. 01:25:43
Thank you, Supervisor Final. 01:25:54
Thank you, Mr. Chair. So all week or so ago I went to Washington State on WIR and attended a meeting up there for a couple of 01:25:57
days. Lot of good information came out of that. There's there's issues that are affecting us as well as the other 11 Western 01:26:05
states. And so a lot of that was discussed. One of those issues is the insurance companies dropping. 01:26:14
Homeowners insurance. 01:26:24
And that isn't only here, it's throughout. Everybody to the Canadian border had a really good meeting, worked on some priorities, 01:26:26
but the hard part of the priority list. 01:26:31
All hinges on this next election. And so a lot of our discussion was just based on, well, we can do this. If this happens, we can 01:26:38
do that. If that happens, however, it's going to work out. We just have to wait and see. But there was a was a very, very good 01:26:44
meeting and I was there along with Craig Sullivan. 01:26:51
And CSA and Patrice Osman from Coconino. So all three of us were up there. 01:26:58
Last Saturday I attended a Ponderosa Springs meeting and at the fire department and remember when we were there, we helped them 01:27:06
with the well. So they've they've they've had the well drilled. It doesn't produce a lot of water, but it's going to produce 01:27:12
enough to be able to put a restroom facilities in that that station. They went down about 220 feet and they're getting less than a 01:27:19
gallon a minute. 01:27:25
But with proper storage and whatnot, they can make that work. I'm gonna work with them a little bit. They're gonna go ahead and 01:27:33
start pursuing a septic system for that that station. So I'm gonna be working with them on that and. 01:27:40
Hopefully we can get it done in the next two or three years. It's going to be pretty costly just because of the type of system 01:27:48
it's going to have to be. That afternoon. I also participated in a auction there in Young that was set up for the Community 01:27:54
Center. There's a fundraising auction. 01:28:00
Ton of items we auctioned off a lot of people who was there is a really good time. I don't know the final figures. I believe by 01:28:07
the end of the night they should have been somewhere around $6000 community centers and as it all going towards their kitchen, 01:28:14
remodeling their kitchen. So that was a good deal. 01:28:20
Also attended the county supervisors legislative summit in Maricopa. 01:28:29
And same thing. 01:28:36
Supervisor Humphrey said we didn't have a lot, but it is good to visit with people and hear what they did have there. Again, we 01:28:38
had more more conversation on the insurance part of things, heard more about that and then. 01:28:45
All one item of interest Wilbur Belvedere from San Carlos, Belvido Park. We've worked with him for, I don't know, six years, 8 01:28:54
years I. 01:28:59
Long time and anyway he's got a ballpark in San Carlos that he took over. It was his it was kind of a ballpark that his family had 01:29:05
started right and Wilbur took this ballpark over and started doing improvements on it every year he had he would look and 01:29:12
prioritize what improvements he wanted to do on this ballpark and has kept it up does an outstanding job on on his request and all 01:29:20
that We worked with him the money that we had helped him with this last year he was able to. 01:29:27
And for a grant from USDA and he got awarded the grant, he was awarded the grant for a total of $316,000. So he does remarkably 01:29:36
well trying to get this, these grants and things set up and, and by helping him out. I don't know, I think it's like $10,000 or 01:29:43
something I helped him with, but he used that for leverage and got it. So he's, he's on his way to constructing an office building 01:29:50
at the park now. 01:29:57
And a very good guy. 01:30:04
You brought up something, Supervisor Humphrey, that I wanted to ask a question about. 01:30:08
Where are we on our Christmas bicycles? 01:30:14
Member supervisors, I'm sorry with the updates, you cannot have a discussion. Well, you're just a downer on on a good thing here, 01:30:18
Jessica. So I will save it for later. OK, then I'll go my last thing and and I'm going to be headed down to Winkelmann either 01:30:26
tomorrow or Thursday. And I'd like to take our condolences down there to Mayor Brock Amani. Last week he lost his son. 01:30:35
And so we're going to go down there and see him and visit him and, and, and I'll, I'll take our condolences down there for him. 01:30:44
Other than that, that's all I have. Thank you supervisor. So I don't have a lot to report. Also attended the Summit Pick Cotton 01:30:54
and went on a tour at Lucid Car Manufacturing. Very interesting. Was very impressive actually and also met with. 01:31:04
Queen Springs residents yesterday. 01:31:16
As they have a number of concerns and so there's about 15 residents there that expressed concerns about various things. So I had a 01:31:20
good discussion there. And so that's all I have to report. So if there's nothing else, I will adjourn the meeting. Thank you. Just 01:31:26
one thing, this key and key. 01:31:32
The holder has been sitting up here for like the last couple three weeks, so if someone lost some keys. 01:31:39
That's still sitting up here and I'm not showing you the other side because the other side has something said on it. And so to 01:31:48
identify your keys, just let us know what the backside of this. It's got two rings, one key and on the backside it has something 01:31:55
said on this side it does not. So anyway, if you've lost your keys or been here and the keys, these have been laying up here for 01:32:02
the last couple of weeks. So I don't know anything about it, but anyway. 01:32:09
If they're if they're yours. 01:32:17
They're still here. 01:32:19
That's it. Thank you. We are adjourned. 01:32:21

Very impressive and we pray this in your name, Lord Jesus, Amen. Thank you. 00:00:45
Well, welcome again, beautiful fall day. Let's start our meeting off here with item number 2. It's a public hearing. Item 2A is 00:00:55
information discussion, action to consider 2 liquor license applications. 00:01:04
The county number is LL-24-03 and LL24-04. Submitted by Andrea Yukowski. 00:01:13
Lukowicz for the transfer of a Series 9 liquor store license in the Series 07 beer and wine bar license with interim permits to 00:01:24
operate Tunnel Basin Marketplace located in Tunnel Base and then issue a recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor 00:01:31
Licenses and control whether the licenses should be granted. Samantha Thank you Chairman and board members. So Andrea Lukowitz 00:01:38
submitted 2 applications to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control the. 00:01:46
The departments or members of the public, so the clerk of the board's office recommends to proceed with the public hearing and I 00:02:24
can answer. Thank you, Samantha Supervisor Hunter. 00:02:28
I have no questions. I thank you, Supervisor Klein. Neither do I and and neither do I. So why don't I open it up to the public 00:02:33
hearing portion? Lisa, up in Payson, do we have anyone there that wishes to speak to this item? 00:02:40
OK. Thank you, Cassandra. No. Is there anyone present here in the globe? 00:02:50
Boardroom. 00:02:54
No, doesn't look like it. So I'll close the public hearing and call for a motion. 00:02:56
That's true. I move to recommend that the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control approve the liquor license application 00:03:01
submitted. 00:03:05
By Andrea Lukowitz for the Tunnel Basin Marketplace. 00:03:09
Mr. Cheryl, thank you, that thank you. We have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Motion 00:03:15
carries unanimous thank you. We'll move on to item three regular agenda items. Item A is information discussion action to consider 00:03:22
a sealed bid for the purchase of assessors tax parcel number 10107079 and if accepted, authorize the Chairman signature on the 00:03:29
quit claim fee. Samantha, thank you again. So just as a reminder. 00:03:37
Don't get these sealed bid requests very often. Only a landowner that adjoins a state data tax property may submit a sealed bids 00:03:44
for the Board's consideration. So the Board has that authority through ARS 4218303 F to consider selling property less than a lien 00:03:52
amount from an adjoining landowner only. On August 10th, 2012, the Hewitt County Treasurer dated parcel 10107079 to the State of 00:03:59
Arizona in care of the Board of Supervisors because the previous owner did not pay taxes on the subject property for. 00:04:07
Consecutive years. So the property adjoins Healing County Assessors parcel 10107080 owned by Andrew Olson. Mr. Olson submitted a 00:04:15
sealed bid for the Board of Supervisors consideration. If the Board accepts Mr. Olson sealed bid, he intends to request that the 00:04:24
human Assessor combine the parcels, which is a win win for both parties here. So the lien amount for this property is $2356.44. 00:04:33
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them, and if you just want to let me know when you want me to open the steel kit. 00:04:44
OK. Thank you, Samantha. Supervisor Humphrey, I, I have no questions and it's fine with me to open a bit. 00:04:49
OK, Supervisor Klein? Yeah, you bet. See what the IT is? 00:04:57
Mr. Olson sealed bid is $350.00. 00:05:22
OK. Thank you, Samantha. So from this point, do we call for motion? OK, So I will call for a motion to accept or not accept the 00:05:25
$350.00 bid for this parcel. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to sell Assessors tax parcel number 101-0707 nine to Andrew Olson in 00:05:34
the amount of $350.00 and authorize the Chairman's signature on the quick claim deed. 00:05:42
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion. You have a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Thank you. 00:05:52
OK, the bargain of the day then, right? 3B Information, Discussion Action to approve FFY 2025 Governor's Office of Hwy. Safety 00:06:00
Grant agreement #2025PTS-023 in the amount of $30,574.00 for the period of October 1st, 2024 to September 30, 2025 that will be 00:06:09
issued for overtime. 00:06:17
And employee related expenses. A Lidar unit, gas system printer and INTOX 9000 unit. 00:06:26
Good morning under Sheriff. 00:06:34
Again, the insurance office is taking these improvements for extending the furniture specifically. 00:06:40
Speed enforcement P1 Enforcement continues. 00:06:48
Overtime equipment. 00:06:54
30,000. 00:07:04
Good question. 00:07:08
Thank you, Mr. Newman. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions, Mr. Klein. No, I I don't either the NSA. I think it's a good 00:07:12
deal. And well, I would have one question, you know, with this equipment and you guys setting up and and. 00:07:20
Do you have any idea how many DUI's you'll that this will help catch? 00:07:28
Well, if you like, the kids can catch them, yeah. 00:07:34
During our regular controlling shift and stuff we. 00:07:39
But this is this is part of this funding to go out and not answer radio questions typically looking to do live take areas where we 00:07:47
get citizens complaints about speeding vehicles. We can direct the deputy to go there and that's all exactly. 00:07:55
This is this is targeted funding, but. 00:08:05
OK, You can still hear me correct? Yeah. OK, sorry about that. That that's what this is this this funding goes specifically to to 00:08:10
take care of the things that to grant is it's dedicated to. So like this equipment that you have here is is mobile. 00:08:18
You take it out on the road with you. Well, yeah, the the speed measuring equipment is the lidar. That's the new technology. We 00:08:27
used to have the Doppler radar equipment. Now they're going to the laser radar. That's that's what this is for. The Intoxilizer, 00:08:33
not so much mobile. It's something that needs to be stationary because of the sensitivity of what it does. It doesn't need to be 00:08:39
bouncing around. So. 00:08:45
So no that the intoxilizer would be mobile or I'm sorry would be stationary, but the rest of the equipment. 00:08:52
Would be, would be. 00:08:58
So, so with this intoxilizer, this 9000, do you have one for like each end of the county or is you just pretty much have one in 00:09:00
the county? We do, I believe one of these is actually a replacement we've got on both ends of the county and then down at the 00:09:08
lake. So and, and also over in young we also, in addition to the intoxilizer, we have phlebotomists that are certified to do blood 00:09:15
draws in the event that you got a machine that's down or the, the drive time to that equipment is is extended. 00:09:23
We can draw blood. OK. Thank you, Dennis. 00:09:30
Thanks for butter. I don't have any questions. 00:09:34
And so if that's it, then will this call for motion? And Chair, I move to approve FFY 2025, Governor's Office of Hwy. Safety Grant 00:09:38
application number 2025 Dash BTS Dash 02/3 as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion. Second to approve all those in favor 00:09:47
say aye, aye. 00:09:55
Thank goodness and item 3C Information, discussion, Action to approve amendment #2 to Service Agreement number 062922. 00:10:04
With Advantage Home Performance incorporated in the amount not to exceed $300,000 and extend the term of the contract for one 00:10:13
additional year to September 5, 2025. Good morning, Josh. Good morning, Chairman. Members of the Board. So under Community 00:10:21
Services, this is for our weatherization contracts. We've had this discussion with four supervisors before. This was a sole bidder 00:10:28
two years ago on a contract to do weatherization services we renewed last year. 00:10:35
For before their final bills are paid, working with new development and Randy, the director over there. So we have some additional 00:11:41
like checks and balances in order with them that I think will help along this process as well. So I feel pretty good about this 00:11:46
for at least the time being until we can get more vendors up and going. 00:11:51
Very good supervisor, Humphrey. 00:11:57
I appreciate it very much. That's all, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So Josh, besides Advantage Home Performance 00:12:30
Incorporated, we have another vendor as well or we don't have anybody yet, but we have Hila Monster Construction, another one 00:12:36
that's working towards taking their one week weatherization program class that you have to take at the state, which gets them part 00:12:42
of the way there. And then there's a like 3 or 4 different types of insurance that they have to have in place as well getting 00:12:48
their fingerprint. 00:12:54
Art for all their staff that would work the project. So it's a process to get somebody new even to the point that I feel 00:13:00
comfortable like putting this back out to the. So this other outfit is local right here then and it's local. Well, that's good. 00:13:06
Cool. Thanks, Josh. Yeah, thank you, Josh, for your efforts to expand that. 00:13:12
Offering. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment #2 to Service Agreement number 00:13:19
062922 with Advantage Home Performance incorporated as presented. 00:13:26
Mr. Chair, I'll second that We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. Thank you, Josh. 00:13:35
Item 3D information discussion action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the chairman's signature on the temporary 00:13:43
construction easement granted to the state of Arizona by and through its Department of Transportation for the construction of 00:13:50
state route 87 Green Valley Parkway to Houston Mesa Rd. improvement project. Good morning Romero good morning chairman board of 00:13:58
suppressors we're asking for the ratification of a signature that's already taken place due to the urgency of a project that. 00:14:05
A doc is proposing and the urgency was that they they came to the county and asked for a temporary construction easement for a 00:14:13
property that we don't have a quick claim for. And so with the help of Jessica Sevilla, County Attorney, we work with ADOT, we 00:14:19
work with the attorney general and we decided that the best thing for the county to do was to sign a temporary construction 00:14:25
easement for three entrances to Otanto Plaza in Payson that serves a number of business communities. Currently, nobody owns that 00:14:31
parking. 00:14:37
It is a parcel that's owned by the state. It doesn't have private ownership. They failed to pay taxes on this one parcel and 00:14:43
therefore, eventually the state ownership of that property. And so when the state comes to Gila County to ask for us to sign a 00:14:51
temporary construction easement, that's when I asked the help of the County Attorney, what's the proper thing for us to do? And 00:14:58
while we're having these discussions, time runs out. We needed to sign the temporary construction. We asked Chairman Christensen. 00:15:05
Sign it knowing that we would be coming back to the board for ratification of that signature as soon as we could and that's what 00:15:13
we're doing today. Now, if the county were not to sign that temporary construction easement, then adopt would not make those 00:15:19
improvements when they approved the Beeline Hwy. the improvement that they're scheduling for Beeline Hwy. they would also improve 00:15:25
the entrances to the highway and that would include the three entrances that are on this parking lot. So those would be unimproved 00:15:31
and they'd end up having to have. 00:15:37
3 inch. 00:15:43
Jump on the onto the highway from the parking lot. In order to avoid that, we thought it was best to to move with the signature 00:15:46
and the ratification. And that's that's what we're asking the board to to approve today. Any questions? I'd be happy to take 00:15:52
questions or sure. Jessica Shabelle, our County Attorney could also help with any questions. Supervisor Humphrey. Mr. Chair, I 00:15:57
have no questions. 00:16:03
Jessica, did you have anything to add? 00:16:10
Chairman. Members of the board. 00:16:13
Just to clarify what the issue was, this property is owned by the state in care of the county that that's how our tax deeded 00:16:16
properties are named. They are, again, it's owned by the by the state, but in care of the county. And so the county does not hold 00:16:23
the authority to execute any sort of deed or execute any sort of easement. That is why I worked with the Attorney General's office 00:16:30
to confirm that the state is in the opinion that the easement should exist. 00:16:38
In this case particular, I'm OK with moving forward with the easement. If the other party was not the state, then I would be 00:16:46
hesitant. 00:16:51
Supervisor Klein. No, I'm good. 00:16:58
We'll pay you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:17:01
I'm good. 00:17:04
Good too. So Romero, no one wants the parking lot technically, I guess, and it's just completely. 00:17:07
Falling apart and so I suppose then. 00:17:13
I don't know why it's in care of us, but it really shouldn't be. I wouldn't think that needs to go to the owners of the properties 00:17:19
so that they can care for it themselves. I know that's not what we're talking about today. Chairman, members of the board. 00:17:26
So when someone is delinquent on their taxes, there's a process that the property after seven years is deeded over to the state. 00:17:34
So that state is the owner of the property at that point. There's other avenues like here today we just had the auction to get the 00:17:42
property back on the tax roll. Someone made a bid case of the property. However, there's no office. 00:17:50
In the state that takes care of these tax needed properties. That's why they have it in care of the counties. 00:17:59
Because the county is, you know, the treasurer's are supposed to manage these properties. And that's why we ran into the 00:18:06
predicament of, well, why should the county sign it when we don't have we don't own the deed. It's a state that owns the deed, yet 00:18:12
there's no one authorized from the state to sign it. It's really. So it's kind of one of those situations. But here working with 00:18:19
the attorney General's office, we all came to an agreement that it should be signed. OK. 00:18:25
Thank you for that clarification. So with that, I'll call promotion. Mr. Chair, I moved to ratify the Board of Supervisors 00:18:32
approval for the. 00:18:37
Christmas Chairman's signature on the temporary construction easement granted to the State of Arizona by and through its 00:18:44
Department of Transportation for the construction of the State Route 87 Green Valley Parkway to Houston Mesa Rd. Improvement 00:18:50
project. 00:18:56
And I'll second that motion and a second to approve Those in favor say aye. Thank you. 00:19:04
Item 3 E Information discussion action to approve the use of. 00:19:10
Omnia Cooperative Cooperative contract number 212816 with Empire Machine and Caterpillar in the amount of $382,938.66 for the 00:19:16
purchase of a new 2020 4120-14A all-wheel drive capillary motor Razor. Well, thank you, Chairman. The vehicle that we're intending 00:19:26
to replace is J-003. It's a 1987 Motor Grader 40. 00:19:35
1983 motor grader, it's 41 years old. If you have vehicles that are 4 years old and you try to find parts for it, you know that 00:19:46
it's very difficult to find parts and usually they're very expensive. And that's the case with this particular vehicle. And of 00:19:52
course, because of its age, it it has more down time than the newer vehicles. It's time to replace it. We would like to replace it 00:19:58
with a with a Caterpillar. 00:20:04
120-14 all-wheel Drive Motivator The purchase price that you mentioned, Chairman, and the introduction of this item $382,938. 00:20:11
Also includes an extended warranty. We're paying $18,000, eighteen, 1700 dollars, $18,800 for that extended warranty. The extended 00:20:21
warranties for seven years, 7000 miles and includes everything except for lubrication, downtime expenses that we may incur. 00:20:28
Basically it covers everything. It's just a normal wear and tear and lubrication. So that would be a Caterpillar fixing the 00:20:36
vehicle for the next 7 years for 7000 miles, whichever comes first. 00:20:43
That's included in the purchase price. We would like to move forward with this. The vehicle would be coming to the globe area and 00:20:51
one of the older vehicles from the globe area would be going out to to replace J-003, which I think currently is in conservation. 00:20:58
And we and we'd like to use that to put the vehicles where they're most used and you're once where they're most used and the older 00:21:06
ones to to our outlying areas. It's it's a standard practice that we use. So with that we would like to. 00:21:13
Request that you approve this purchase of a new motivator. 00:21:21
Thank you, Meryl Supervisor. 00:21:28
Humphrey, I have no questions. Supervisor Klein, so I have a couple for you. Former this Omnia cooperative contract, is that like 00:21:31
a different program through Kate Cat that we can that we purchase equipment? I I don't understand that. I guess. So we look for 00:21:37
these state cooperative contract. This is a contract that the city of Tucson has and so it's it's it's considered like a state 00:21:44
contract. It does get us. 00:21:51
A significant discount to the sticker price, if you will. 00:21:58
In the board item, we mentioned that there's a savings of 248,000 using both the Omnia contract and a discount from, from 00:22:03
Caterpillar. So we, we, we, it does put a big bite into the purchase price. I, I don't think we would buy Caterpillars at 500,000. 00:22:10
We, we do competitive bids for them, but by the use of these contracts, we can expedite the purchase and get something that is 00:22:17
very competitive, OK. 00:22:24
I guess that's it, Homer. Thank you. Thank you. And so the older unit, J-003, you'll eventually end up in an auction, correct? OK. 00:22:32
All right. With that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the use of Omnia Cooperative Contract 00:22:40
number 212816 with Empire Machinery and Caterpillar Incorporated as presented. 00:22:47
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye aye. Motion passes item. Thank you 00:22:55
homeroom. Item 3F is information discussion action to adopt resolution #24-10-04 authorizing the purchase of 10 flood prone 00:23:03
properties adjacent to Campaign Creek and authorized James Memo, County Manager, to sign the various related documents associate 00:23:10
associated with the purchase of homes. 00:23:18
To the Campaign Creek buyout and other Campaign Creek homes necessary for the successful completion of the Campaign Creek project, 00:23:25
we have Alex. Thank you Mr. Chair board. So as you know we've been working on acquiring the homes for the Campaign Creek buyout. 00:23:33
In addition to that, there was two others that were originally not or they didn't get the applications in the time to be 00:23:40
considered part of the Campaign Creek buyout, but we still consider them in our process moving forward with. 00:23:48
Purchasing of these homes and we were going to use monies from the Woodbury fire mitigation. 00:23:56
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:24:33
Yeah, I think it's a great idea, especially we're under the gun to have this done in 12 months. So getting before the board for 00:24:36
each one of these homes for our approval could slow that process. So thanks for thinking ahead. Anything that can get this process 00:24:43
going and get it done within the 12 months that we have to do it, I I think it's a great thing. So thank you very much. 00:24:50
Appreciate it. Supervisor Klein. I think this is a good deal and I agree with Supervisor Humphrey. Alex, I just have one question 00:24:59
and remind me because I don't remember what ended up being the total cost on those homes. Do you have that handy? If not, it's OK. 00:25:06
Yes. So the total for all 10, including the two that we're purchasing from the housing mitigation fund will be $2,080,000, eight, 00:25:13
165 for the total project. That would also include the demolition and asbestos removal as well. 00:25:20
That's the full process. 00:25:28
Support. OK. Thank you. 00:25:30
Yeah. Thank you. Alex, did you have something else Supervisor? Yeah. And I remember this is a funded in multiple ways including 00:25:33
the homeowners have agreed to contribute some of the. So that was the one I brought before you. That's been we're getting them the 00:25:41
full appraised value using the mitigation funds for that last 10% and that was approved two months. OK. So I don't want to muddy 00:25:48
the water, so I will call for a motion. 00:25:55
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt resolution #24-10-O4 and authorized Jane Menlo to the County Manager to sign the various related 00:26:04
documents associated with the purchase of homes related to the Campaign Creek buyout and other Campaign Creek of houses necessary 00:26:14
for the successful completion of the Campaign Creek project. Mr. Cheryl. Second that. 00:26:23
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:26:33
Italics Item 3G Information. Discussion. Action to adopt A resolution #24-10-03 authorizing the roadway exchange of 4109 square 00:26:37
feet of unneeded Roper Lane in exchange for the acquisition of 4027 square feet of Assessor's Parcel Number three 0205-001. 00:26:49
West for New Forest Service 499 right of way and authorized the chairman signature on related quick claim feed Romero. Thank you 00:27:02
chairman. 00:27:07
The partners of parcel #302-50-001 West and Partial 30205023 have applied to abandon a portion of Roper Lane or did apply to 00:27:14
abandon a portion a portion of Roper Lane which lies between the two parcels. Abandoning this portion of Roper Laney would allow 00:27:24
the deckers to combine 2 parcels together with that portion of the abandoned Roper Lane and connect to a well located to the. 00:27:33
And utilize it for irrigation and fire suppression. Would allow them to combine these two parcels together with that portion of 00:27:44
Roper Lane The Board of Supervisors approved the Roper Lane was dedicated to the public on the plat of Birdie Glenn 3 Subdivision 00:27:51
at Verde Lane. The Board of Supervisors approved the flat back in January 29, 1969, and it was officially filed. 00:27:59
As Plat map #393 Roper Lane is not maintained by the county, it did answer the Forest Service boundary. 00:28:08
The floor service has expressed that they're not interested in Roper Lane being used as a vehicular access to the Forest Service 00:28:15
and and basically there they have no objections through a Roper Lane abandonment or in this particular case in exchange. 00:28:24
While reviewing a recent survey of a partial 30205001 W, we discovered that the floor Service 199 or Service Road 199, which runs 00:28:33
along the West and N lines of this parcel and is maintained by the county, encroaches onto the parcel. In some places the 00:28:43
encroachment is up to seven feet. In other places it's it's one foot or something like that. But there is. 00:28:53
Areas of encroachment. 00:29:03
And this survey was reported as a regular survey map number 5465. We consulted with the County Attorney to determine the 00:29:06
feasibility of processing a roadway exchange. In other words, the Deckers apply for a roadway abandonment. We offered them a 00:29:14
roadway exchange Roper Lane for the encroachments on Forest Service Road 199. 00:29:21
And that's what we're bringing to the board. It was concluded that the roadway exchange method criterias outlined in State 00:29:30
statutes 28 Dash 7203, the applicant has a brief as a ropeway exchange. The roadway exchange will benefit the applicant, the 00:29:38
county and the forest, if you will, because it will restrict vehicular access into the Forest Service area. 00:29:46
Today we have a group of people that want to voice a different opinion. 00:29:54
To the board, and I believe that there's a representative for the Deckers here as well for the Deckers. 00:29:59
The. 00:30:07
The roadway exchange and so we're going to listen to to the other side of concern. The roadway exchange we believe is in the best 00:30:12
interest of the public because. 00:30:16
Rope for service wrote 199 Umm. 00:30:21
Has a width of 24 foot and a 7 foot encroachment. Does indeed two way travel on the road? 00:30:27
Umm, going the roadway exchange that we want both a little bit beyond the edge of the road. In other words, it allows for a 00:30:37
shoulder. The roadway exchange is almost equal in area and let me. 00:30:45
The what we're asking is for an exchange of 4190 square feet of unneeded Roper Lane in exchange for the acquisition of 4027 square 00:30:57
feet. 00:31:01
Partial 30205001 W for a for a new 4 service road 199 right of way. So the exchange is is approximately equal. And one of the 00:31:07
things that we looked at was not only do we need the exact prism of the travel way, but we needed shoulders as well beyond the 00:31:16
prison of the roadway and and that's the reason for those, those square footages. 00:31:25
With that, I would like to. 00:31:35
Entertain questions and also. 00:31:37
Asked the board to see if there's an interest in listening to the folks that are here today to express their opinions. 00:31:40
Thank you, Romero. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:31:48
If there's other comments, I'd like to hear other comments before I had questions or anything of that nature. All right, we'll 00:31:51
proceed to that after I ask Mr. Klein if he has any questions at this juncture. I too wait. I understand what homeless saying, so 00:31:58
I'd like to hear what these other folks have to say as well. OK, I have several requests. We have three people in Payson and we 00:32:04
have a few people here. 00:32:10
So I would like to call forward then and if you could be briefing your comments. 00:32:18
We like to limit people to three minutes, but I understand. 00:32:23
Some flexibility can be allowed. I would like to call Mr. Hunt Winston, who lives on Roper Lane. 00:32:28
137 N Roper Lane, adjacent to. 00:32:36
Lot #40. 00:32:42
Thank you. 00:32:46
Good morning and thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today. My name is Hunt Winston. I actually live. 00:32:51
Not the scale, but I live right there. I'm also in have been the president of the Property Owners Association for the last 3 1/2 00:32:56
years and have been a resident there for four years. First, I want to say in a way it feels a little bit like a bait and switch to 00:33:04
go forward with or start with a, an application for abandonment or declaring that roadway abandoned and then changing it around to 00:33:11
a land exchange. The significant difference in that and what what concerns me about that is one of those requires. 00:33:18
That anything that looks like a public land exchange should be open to the public and to comment and input. 00:33:57
Secondly, and I sent an e-mail yesterday, so I'm not going to read that e-mail. I'm not going to go through it again. I just want 00:34:04
to cover kind of a couple of new things. First off, I really do think this portion of of Broker Lane, not the portion that's part 00:34:10
of the estate, but where the new dead end would be. This is where my line is here, this new dead end here, this area here. You'll 00:34:16
notice in the photographs that I shared with you, the 1st 2 photographs, 1 is. 00:34:22
Flooding, it's about 5 or 6 feet high of water because that culvert wasn't working underneath Roper Lane. And that's that area 00:34:28
right here. 00:34:32
The ditch that the big, the big sunken areas right here, the Clover is right here is usually river right here. So that flood at 00:34:37
least significantly floods at least one time a year if not a couple of times a year depending on how the mountain rains go. That 00:34:44
area also erodes considerably. So the second photograph you'll see is the debris that came across when that water flooded. The 00:34:51
culvert couldn't handle the load and the water came over the roadway and it eroded on both sides of Roper Lane. 00:34:59
Additional load of large trucks, trailers or anything else turning around in that vicinity. So I would propose that before the 00:35:36
Board of Supervisors were to consider this proposal that a geotechnical review should be required to determine whether or not 00:35:42
that's a viable place for a dead end on Roper Lane. 00:35:47
Secondly, Roper Lane is not abandoned. Roper Lane is used every single day, not only by vehicle traffic, but also by foot traffic, 00:35:54
myself included, my family included, and others in our neighborhood and community and the public for access to the force. Now, 00:36:00
like Mr. Veiler said, not vehicular access to the forest, but walking access into the forest and into the East Verde River. If 00:36:06
this land exchange were to continue, that Open Access would be closed down permanently. So a fee, a main feature of our 00:36:12
neighborhood. Birdie Glen 3 and Birdie Glenn. 00:36:18
Specifically, the policies and procedures for Hula County for land exchanges. 00:36:53
And Arizona Revised Statutes for land exchanges notes specifically the exchanges are authorized for an abutting landowner. If it 00:36:57
is for a new road, meaning it's being exchanged for a new road. This is not a new road, right? The minimal and it doesn't look 00:37:04
minimal in this drawing significant, but this is actually very minimal. So the last photograph that you'll see is Forest Rd. 199 00:37:11
is here by the gate area and you can see the the whole. 00:37:18
Caution tape that shows a line from this point to this one. And it's only a few feet that actually are. And I would propose that 00:37:26
those few feet are actually the build up of that driveway. And so that's not actually impacting the road here in any way. And then 00:37:31
over here when the shape is on the north side is a very substantial and significant decline. So it's a huge slope. So the two 00:37:37
markers that are on the road, they're actually on the shoulder of the road. 00:37:42
I appreciate again the time to speak to you. 00:38:17
I wrote a few other items in my in my notes that I sent yesterday, but for those reasons, I would I would really strongly request 00:38:20
that you consider or ask the County Attorney and Mr. Vela to withdraw this proposal at this time until they can get a geotechnical 00:38:25
permit done. And then before they bring it back with that geotechnical review, that they also go down the process of opening it up 00:38:31
for public notification and public comments. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Winston, and if we do have specific questions, 00:38:36
I'll call you back up. OK. 00:38:42
All right. So Mr. Harper is also indicated here and we also have Mr. David West, which is here. 00:38:48
And Miss Deckers here. And so Mr. Harper, are you here to speak for them? 00:38:56
Or OK, would you like to come forward and do that? 00:39:02
There's also people I believe, yes. Are you speaking for? 00:39:06
Barbara and Jay Cuomo and David Owens as well. I know. OK, thank you, Chairman, Members of the board. I, I'm really here primarily 00:39:10
to answer any questions. But since you've heard a little bit, I'll, I'll talk a little bit about what you've just heard. One 00:39:16
thing, this suggestion that there's a bait and switch going on is, is not true. This was initially applied for as an abandonment, 00:39:22
but then the county and the homework came to us and said, look, we've got a better way to do this in a way that's actually going 00:39:28
to benefit the county. 00:39:34
Because of the encroachments here. 00:39:40
On on the on the Decker property. This is the Decker property. This is a Decker property. 00:39:42
So you end up it's not an abandoned exchange piece to connect us to peace, which allows utilities to be brought back and forth. 00:39:48
That's actually whatever along the streets and what's being proposed benefits the county a lot because all the green area here is 00:39:54
where the road currently approaches. And so that would end that encroachment allowing this exchange within that encroachment and 00:40:00
would would have the road actually be on on public property. So this has not been abated switch at all. It's actually the county's 00:40:06
idea to do the. 00:40:11
I think frankly is a good one and my clients are supportive of it. The the process is governed by a different statute and this is 00:40:18
for instability to talk about different statute that deals with roadway exchanges as opposed to abandonment and it doesn't require 00:40:25
a public notice. So there's no posting done under that statute is actually a case specific Court of Appeals case that deals with 00:40:32
that. And Mr. Winston obviously has heard about this and he's had the chance to to comment anyways. 00:40:39
In terms of access to the forest. 00:40:48
There's a lot of access to the forest in this area. And Mr. Winston property is here. I happen to know that he has access to the 00:40:51
river. Bacteria has access this way. And he also all you have to do is walk here and there's access right here. So the idea that 00:40:58
this is going to cut off access to the force is is just not true. There's there's a lot of forest access in the county has gone 00:41:05
through the work and Mr. Warren in particular, I think did a lot of work to come up with these. 00:41:13
Particular additional area to be picked up and I don't, I don't think there's been any homework and talk about this if he wants 00:41:21
to, but this idea that there should be a geotechnical survey and that sort of stuff, I just don't think that's required. I think 00:41:27
the counties already covered those bases. So I'm here to answer any questions that that you might have. I know that there will be 00:41:34
some other people speaking in favor of this. In fact, just to give you some perspective, Mr. W is here. 00:41:41
He owns a nice property up and then Mr. Owens, I think is it Payson Owens, I believe the next property of and then the Cuomo is on 00:41:49
the next property up. So most of the people on Roper Lane are actually in favor of this. 00:41:54
OK. Thank you for your presentation. And if we want to ask questions, I'll call you back up. Mr. W, did you have anything you 00:42:02
wanted to comment? 00:42:06
OK, comment, you know, as far as approval or I think it's a good idea, support, So you have a vote for support. And then in Payson 00:42:11
we have Barbara and Jay Cuomo also owned property and residents on Roper Lane. Do they wish to speak this morning? 00:42:20
Yes. 00:42:33
Go ahead. 00:42:37
You know, I didn't get there of. 00:42:39
The. 00:42:42
And I am now in David. 00:42:43
OK. So you're in favor of the proposal today? 00:42:55
I think they were. 00:43:00
OK. 00:43:10
Thank you. Is that all from the Cuomo's? 00:43:12
OK. 00:43:16
It's kind of hard to hear, but we have Mr. David Owens as well, a owner on Roper Lane. 00:43:17
That we do need to have 199 taken care of and two, we do need to be in the purple line called soft. 00:43:45
We are totally in favor of this change. 00:43:54
Thank you, Mr. Owens. 00:44:05
Don't believe we have anyone else. 00:44:09
Yeah. 00:44:18
Say something and who's? Who's speaking now? Who's speaking now? 00:44:21
Okay. 00:44:28
Of ugly moments. 00:44:31
Chairman Samantha. 00:44:33
OK, excuse me. 00:44:40
OK. 00:44:50
Let me interrupt. OK, Hang on just a second. We're having trouble here. And because of the microphone or something getting 00:44:52
everything recorded properly, Samantha can't hear the comments. And so I believe that's Mr. Cuomo speaking and he was mentioning 00:45:01
something about a campground. Mr. Cuomo, can we sum it up that you're in favor of this land exchange? 00:45:10
Correct. 00:45:21
OK. All right. I think we've heard all the various arguments. So, Supervisor Humphrey, do you have anything you'd like to? 00:45:21
Ask no, I'm not. 00:45:29
Not really The only comment I'd like to have is any, any roads that are maintained that have violations in the road or 00:45:34
encroachments. We, I think it's our responsibility to try to fix that the best way that we can And, and so I. 00:45:43
That's, that's, that's just my comments on, on that. And so if we, if we have a road where we're encroaching on other properties, 00:45:53
then I, I think we need to, to come up with a solution to fix that. And, and from what I understand, there's more people that have 00:46:02
the appreciation for the fix that our engineers have come up with. 00:46:10
Then are not in support of that. 00:46:20
Thank you. 00:46:24
Supervisor Klein. 00:46:25
Jessica. 00:46:29
Did we cover all our bases? 00:46:31
Chairman, member, supervisors, I just have one more question for Romero, if you wouldn't mind just explaining that green area 00:46:35
again, what the statute requires is that there's an exchange for all or part of a new road. So I just need clarification that that 00:46:42
green area is part of a new road. 00:46:49
They're going to set up a a map that I have. 00:47:02
So that I better answer that question. 00:47:05
OK. This is the same map that we were looking at earlier, just on your board, on your on the agenda. 00:47:31
Red lines in your purplish lines. That is the road where the road travels today. That's a road prism if you will. That's the 00:47:39
actual road to the best of our surveyors abilities. 00:47:45
The encroachment. 00:47:52
The. 00:47:56
The area that we're looking. 00:47:59
Foundry of the of this partial 00 W is this line right here. 00:48:02
So in this particular section we're approaching 8.7 sheet. 00:48:09
OK, the additional. 00:48:14
Area that we're looking here for our shoulder is 5.7 feet. So when you move with the look at this is what one of the flags was 00:48:19
there. This is where another flag was there at the first one is very limited here, a little bit more here, almost nothing here. So 00:48:25
that's just where where the flags happen to have been located far as when the surveyor gave you the connection of how much this 00:48:31
road improves on this property with 8.7 feet. 00:48:38
So the green area shows the property that we would be obtaining in exchange for overlay. 00:48:45
A great hash area and it includes both that road enforcement, but in some cases some shoulders OK. 00:48:53
Thank you, Chairman, member, supervisor. So I understand that the encroachment is. 00:49:03
Part of the road. So when we acquire that area, you're saying that it is part of the new road because it continues to be the road. 00:49:09
It's not like a shoulder is what I'm getting at. That green area is not just a shoulder. It is part of the roadway. 00:49:18
So we're we're acquiring a section of the roadway, but in some cases a shoulder. 00:49:28
Chairman, member, supervisors, it does look like the statute is complied with. It is not a requirement that we acquire a new road, 00:49:37
just a part of a new road, and it looks like we've got that here. 00:49:43
So. 00:49:51
Homer or Jessica, you're one of the. 00:49:52
We make this swap and that green becomes the road basically 199, right? 00:49:56
The Forest Service is going to retain that road that will always be a Forest Service Rd. In this particular area we have it's 00:50:05
called Forest Service 199, but we're acquiring easements. We're acquiring quick plain for something for for something that has 00:50:11
already been quick claimed to us. This is private land going through the forest and on both sides. It's called Forest Service 199. 00:50:17
People refer to this section As for Service 199. This is not. 00:50:23
For service property, that road happens to be it exists today, happens to be Kela County property, OK. So having FS 199 on there 00:50:30
whatever it is kind of misleading to me. 00:50:37
Correct for that section, immediately as it leaves the subdivision it becomes Forest Service 199 because it is on the forest. 00:50:45
That point, I get that. OK, so I'm gonna ask a question. Might as well just ask all the questions we need to today. We're all 00:50:53
here. How was it ever talked about as far as Roper Lane been in that easement Plumb back up the up the road there to where the 199 00:50:59
takes off. 00:51:04
As I've been discussed, or maybe I'm playing devil's advocate, but I like to hear some. 00:51:10
In 1994 Survey 855 Chairman needs to come up. 00:51:17
We we need to have you at the microphone. 00:51:23
Had the answer to that because I look at it in 1994, there was a survey, it shows a number of 855 and it's in the records online 00:51:27
and it does show a proposed roadway extension. That's not what this is about. So that would be a new road extending local lane to 00:51:33
this road here. So you would have easy access to versions M3. That's not what we're talking about. We're not talking about a new 00:51:40
road at all. We're talking about the existing Rd. only today and then potentially you know. 00:51:47
Abandoning Roper Lane at the end. 00:51:55
Which there is no access to the forest or any vehicles outside of us today. So that there was a survey in 90 at least in the 94 00:51:58
that somebody had proposed going and extending Roper Lane. I asked that question because of all the going in your photos, you 00:52:04
know, you mentioned that how Roper Lane benches down right there where the proposal is to cut it off now and it's not very 00:52:09
adequate for a turn around. 00:52:15
But that was backed up the roadways back up there further, I mean. 00:52:22
Much higher so it doesn't flood, it's not prone to any flooding issues or anything else, and it's much more room to turn around 00:53:28
large vehicles as opposed to where the proposed proposal is today. 00:53:32
Sorry, anything else? 00:53:39
I hear what you're saying, I guess I just haven't heard my question answered specifically yet and Cassie didn't turn that map 00:53:42
around to what we had on there. Please. 00:53:47
Yep. Nope, that's it. 00:53:56
And just bring it up where we can see it. Good. And there you go. So I'm just just just asking this question. I'm not saying this 00:53:58
is a way to go because you guys are all the property owners and and all that, But where it's proposed for the land exchange, let's 00:54:04
just call it that there, Benjamin, right there below Roper. Yeah. And so have you guys thought because it's not going to go 00:54:10
anywhere anyway. 00:54:16
So have you thought about moving that abandonment up to like the end of lane right there or something like that? 00:54:23
And cutting it off. 00:54:29
I mean, I would assume that property owners own 1/2 and the other property owners own the other half of that road. That's what I 00:54:31
would assume. Maybe that's not cool, but it's not. That's not actually true. So property lines and there's 48 feet. 00:54:38
Between this property line here and this property line here 48. 00:54:44
Property owners actually don't own any of them. 00:54:51
No 'cause it's an easement. 00:54:55
Right. 00:54:57
There should be an opportunity to make a turn around up here as well. A 38 foot is compared to four service. 19938 feet is a wide 00:55:15
easement compared to. 00:55:20
The 24th week we have with Ford service 199. Just to clarify, 199 here is about 12 feet higher in elevation and so there's only 00:55:27
about 7 or 8 feet between them. They run parallel here and so it's a very, extremely steep. So you couldn't even create a dead end 00:55:34
here and just hide it in the road here. It wouldn't work because it's so steep. 00:55:41
OK, 10 seconds just to I think I can answer your question maybe a little more directly. 00:55:54
This got abandoned. There's no access to this course. 00:56:02
This is the only access to this. 00:56:07
She owns the other side, right? 00:56:11
There so there is access to that property for. Either way I. 00:56:14
Well, you'd have to create some, that's true. You'd have to create some kind of access across. But I don't think that there's ever 00:56:21
been any real plan to to dedicate or to seek an abandonment of it. 00:56:27
Go for it. Are you? Yeah. OK. Yeah. So just a few comments on my part. I'm very familiar with the area. I've worked in that area. 00:56:36
I know where the Comos live, I know where the Owens live. I know where Dave lives. I know where your property is, and I know where 00:56:44
the Bizantes live. So I'm familiar. And there used to be a gate across there. Apparently that gate no longer exists, so. 00:56:52
Homeroom. I don't really have any more questions. It seemed like the main complaints are. 00:57:04
If there's complaints, the main complaints are the process. 00:57:10
That it happened the non notification is an issue and. 00:57:14
And we're bringing in some other issues about flooding and stuff, which is really not what we're talking about today. 00:57:21
Umm, it is a very steep area, uh. 00:57:28
Redirecting Forest Service Road 199, if we call it that, it would be much more problematic. Maybe this solution so. 00:57:34
That's my opinion. Is there any more discussion whom I know that we need to have? 00:57:41
I'll just offer that. 00:57:49
We have typically undertaken roadway exchanges without following the. 00:57:52
Procedures that state tax is very clear applies to a road abandonment. 00:57:58
And the both our policy. 00:58:05
That we follow for roadway exchanges, the policy only refers to the state statue and the state statue is 1 short little paragraph 00:58:11
and it doesn't, it doesn't really bring into play all the other notifications. So on this road exchange, we treated it like we've 00:58:17
done all of the roadway exchanges. 00:58:23
OK. And yes, there is some public concern and we've allowed for for some of that today given very little notification as as Hunt 00:58:29
Winston pointed out, he just found out about it Friday. But I think we've heard of what they have to say. And if there is an 00:58:36
erosion issue that was either permitted and with unintended consequences or not permitted, we can we can investigate that as as 00:58:43
requested. 00:58:50
Other than that, I don't have anything else to add. 00:58:58
Thank you, Camaro. Anything further, Supervisor Humphrey? 00:59:01
Just one question on that. Would there and turn around seem to be one of the questions. Is there room to turn around if that 00:59:06
exchange is made? 00:59:12
I can get first hand. 00:59:19
Wait, wait, wait. I didn't ask you. 00:59:20
It is a 34 foot wide. 00:59:23
Right away. OK. So, so where they turn around now I was in a 34 foot there, there is 30, I'm sorry, 38 foot wide, 19 on 8, that's 00:59:27
what that's that's what they're given to turn around in now, is that correct? So, so we're not we're not making the turnaround any 00:59:33
smaller. 00:59:38
And if there's a culvert issue? 00:59:45
On the road then then that's a maintenance issue of whoever maintains that road. Is that correct? The property owners that OK? 00:59:49
Yeah, no, but if the culverts are not working, it it it's a maintenance issue. That's correct. OK. All right. That that's all the 00:59:55
questions I have. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:00:02
No, I don't. 01:00:11
I don't think I have any more. 01:00:13
I understand the issues with access to the river or whatever, but that's kind of a different deal to me. 01:00:17
And I, no, I don't have any more questions. Thank you, supervisor. With that, I'll call for a motion. 01:00:27
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-10-03 and authorized determinant signature on the related footprint deed. 01:00:33
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve this item. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion 01:00:42
carries. Thank you. 01:00:46
65 and three H information discussion action to review the bid submitted for request for proposals number 072124 Campaign Creek 01:00:53
post fire project survey and clean up of asbestos of up to 10 homes and award a contract to the most responsive, responsible and 01:01:00
qualified bidder. Alex. Thank you Mr. Chair, Board again, this is another Campaign Creek discussion and we'll have one more 01:01:07
following or two more following this. 01:01:15
So this is the. 01:01:22
Request to award the contract to Native Environmental LLC. 01:01:25
As you know we went out forbid for both the asbestos and the demolition and so this would be the asbestos cleanup of the 10 homes 01:01:31
in Campaign Creek. The bid we're open that the bids were opened at 2:00 on September 19th and evaluated according to ARS 412533 01:01:40
for competitive bidding. As this is FEMA funded money, we needed to do things through. 01:01:48
That met up with ARS and we had one bidder and that bidder was Aid Environmental LLC and they met all the requirements for the 01:01:58
asbestos cleanup. So we would like to award this contract to them. Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:02:05
Now, yeah, as best as it comes up and invites you in some of these demo deals, and I don't believe that all of the homes do have 01:02:13
asbestos traps, just tile or roofing or something of that nature. Yes. So in the contract they'll have to do the survey, determine 01:02:20
what what the extent of the expenses in each of the 10 homes and then remediate them. OK, great. And, and, and just as a side 01:02:27
note, I don't know if it's possible or not, but I also know that the road crew is. 01:02:34
Working on some culverts in that area that are also asbestos. And I don't want to muddy the water too much because I know we're 01:02:43
under the gun for 12 months to get this finished. But if there's two or three culverts that are asbestos as well, and then we can 01:02:50
work it with the road crew and, and maybe save a little money and get all the US to sell that area at the same time. But anyway, 01:02:57
that that's all. Thank you very much for, for what you do. 01:03:03
Thank you supervisor client. 01:03:11
We have covert with asbestos in. 01:03:14
That's a source of a different color. So that's not good for the campaign 3 projects here. That's what that's not that that 01:03:17
doesn't deal with the campaign project. It just deals with the Roosevelt State's area and. 01:03:24
Yeah. I'll have to talk with our Deputy Director after this meeting to address Supervisor Humphries statement there. I'd be. I'd 01:03:31
be interested to hear parts of that discussion when you get ready. 01:03:37
That's all I had, OK. 01:03:45
Thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call for a motion. 01:03:47
Sure. I move to award a contract to Native Environmental LLC in the not to exceed amount of $60,000 in response to the request for 01:03:50
proposal number 072124. I'll second that Mr. Chair motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 01:04:02
Alex. We have information, discussion and action to review the bids submitted for invitation for bid number 071924. 01:04:14
Campaign Creek Coast Fire project, demolition of 10 homes and award contract to the. 01:04:22
Lowest, most responsive, responsible and qualified bidder. 01:04:26
Chairman Board, thank you again. So this is for the same project. This is for the demolition contract. So again, we went out for 01:04:31
bid. The bids were opened at 2:00 PM on September 19th and they were evaluated again according to ARS 412533 for competitive 01:04:39
bidding to make sure that we met Fema's requirements for awarding of the bid, Brend Holt Contracting Company. 01:04:47
Was the lowest. 01:04:56
Most, most responsive, responsible, qualified bidder for ARS at the amount of $89,677.00. So we would like to award the bid to 01:04:59
them and hopefully get this project wrapped up. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:05:06
Yeah. No, I don't, I don't have any. I don't have any questions. I do have a comment though. I want to thank staff very much for 01:05:16
doing the walkthroughs and to do a walk through to to help local contractors to be able to do the walkthrough and to get bids 01:05:25
from, from local contractors on this. And I and I thank you very much for that. I do. 01:05:33
Supervisor Klein, how many bids did we have on this? So for the demolition, we had four bids, 4 bids. And this brand hall 01:05:44
contracting, are they local or unfortunately they are not? 01:05:50
Again, per ARS, as the lowest bidder. So they're out of Apache Junction. Gilbert. Gilbert. OK, thank you. Yeah, thank you, Alex. 01:05:56
With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to award a contract to bring Hope Contracting Company in the 01:06:05
amount of $89,677 in response to invitation for bids number 071224. 01:06:14
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 01:06:24
The item number was 071924. That what you read? I'm sorry, I just misheard it. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in 01:06:27
favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. And next item is 3J. OK. We have information, discussion action to authorize the advertisement 01:06:37
of request for proposal number 082924, Design Services for flood protection at Campaign Creek. 01:06:46
In Roosevelt State community to select an engineering firm to analyze and design a project to protect the residents of Roosevelt 01:06:56
Estates from severe weather events that caused flood events in Campaign Creek. Alex. So thank you chairman, board supervisors. So 01:07:03
we're calling this the North Bank project. So as we just got approvals for everything moving forward with the Campaign Creek 01:07:10
buyout that will address. 01:07:16
Most of the flooding issues that occur between. 01:07:24
Mesquite St. and Campaign Creek itself. This agenda item here is a request for design services to look at the area in a larger 01:07:28
view and see what else we can do to actually mitigate flooding damages in that area. So our NS boundary would be E Street to Palm 01:07:36
Drive and then the east West boundary would be the. 01:07:44
Roosevelt Lake States and we would be using part of the allocated. 01:07:53
2.1 million from the Woodbury Fire Mitigation Fund. 01:07:58
To move forward with looking at making it so that not just the bio, but the entirety of Campaign Creek will be addressed in in the 01:08:03
flooding capacities. 01:08:08
Hey, President Humphrey. Yeah. And, and what, what created all of this is. 01:08:14
What a couple years ago the state awarded us $3,000,000 for buyout of these homes and we also put in for a grant and the grant has 01:08:22
taken an awful long time to get approved. But with the patience of the constituents and the patience of the staff and willingness 01:08:29
of the staff, we held off on that because we didn't have a restriction time on when we had to spend that money. 01:08:36
And so we were able to to wait until we heard from the grant and we did get the grant, which is a great thing. And it still gave 01:08:44
us this $3,000,000 to work on campaign creep. And so not only are we able to do the buyout, but then when it came before the board 01:08:54
for us to give the homeowners the full appraised value that's coming out of this $3,000,000 and then also to that leaves us money. 01:09:04
To do some work on the Northside to prevent any damage to those residences on the north side. We still have that leftover money 01:09:14
and that's kind of been the plan for the last two years and and it came to fruition. But had we not gotten the grant and all of 01:09:20
that money would have gone to do the demolition of the home. So it's, it's been a long project. It's been a lot of work and. I 01:09:26
think. 01:09:33
Staff very much and I stayed and I thank the constituents for being patient with this to let us try to be as intelligent with the 01:09:40
financing that we could be and and. 01:09:45
And as luck would have it, or the Lord would have it, it turned out. So thank you very much for all the work. And, and now we can 01:09:51
have some money to do some more work there, which will just continue to help that area because years ago there was a buyout 01:09:58
because it took homes down the Creek. So it's been a long process and I just want to thank everybody very much. 01:10:05
The supervisor client. I'm good. Thank you, Alex. Yeah, Thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call for motion As chair. I move to 01:10:14
authorize the advertisement of request for proposal number 082924. 01:10:20
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. Hey, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you Alex. 01:10:29
And item 3K information, discussion action to authorize the advertisement of invitations for bid number 0824245 New Ford vehicles 01:10:38
to purchase 1 Ford F-250 Crew Cab 4 by 4 pickup truck, 2 Ford F-150 Crew Cab 4 by 4 pickup trucks and two Ford. 01:10:48
350 Crew Cab Format 4. 01:10:58
Trucks, thank you. Thank you, Chairman and Board. 01:11:01
Umm, everyone of these contracts that we bring in front of you. 01:11:05
Our finance manager Eric plays your role in this and actually she's been, this has been quite a year for, for her and and her 01:11:10
staff to put together all the different contract that we're trying to, to engage both for rope repair. 01:11:18
Campaign Creek and and vehicles like this one that you're going to hear today. This is about 5 new vehicles for her. 01:11:27
In buying these five new vehicles, some of them have anywhere from 130,000 miles to 226,000 miles. We are returning, we are we are 01:11:35
putting into the auction of nine old vehicles. So it's more than A1 for one. One of the things that you see in the five vehicles 01:11:42
their Crew Cab. In other words more than one person can drive in in in that pickup truck and sometimes we do send the crew to go 01:11:49
work on. 01:11:56
And so we have to take one truck instead of multiple trucks. That's the idea in in some cases you see some dump trucks that maybe 01:12:04
weren't getting the service that we were utilizing and no sense hanging on to it if we're not going to use it. So nonetheless, we 01:12:12
are turning into auction 9 vehicles, some of them with a whole lot of miles and we are looking to buy 5 new vehicles. 01:12:21
And they are for administration and engineering, as well as the road yard team itself. 01:12:30
OK. So with that, I would like to ask your approval to advertise bids for five new Ford vehicles. Thank you, homeroom Supervisor 01:12:36
Humphrey. 01:12:41
I have no question. 01:12:50
Yeah, I'm good. Thanks. Tomorrow. Yeah, I'm good too. I'll call promoted. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the 01:12:53
advertisement of invitation for bids number 082424. 01:13:00
I'll second that you have a motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:13:07
Thank you. 01:13:14
Thank you for now. 01:13:15
Trying to figure out who got in Payson. OK so item number 3L this is my item. All three of the supervisors have contributed 01:13:17
significantly to this. It's information discussion action to approve the economic development agreement number 09052024 between 01:13:25
Hilo county and circa, which is the community educational, recreation and civic association in the amount of $33,500 with the 01:13:32
board determined to be for the benefit of the. 01:13:39
I don't believe we have a representative from Circa here today. Circa is a nonprofit association that takes care of multiple 01:13:47
buildings in the Pine area that belong to the Pine school system. They're old buildings. They're part of the original school 01:13:54
churches and things like that. And they're they suffer with a lack of funds to make the improvements necessary to continue with 01:14:02
the various civic and community projects that occur in. 01:14:09
Locations. So this particular sum of money is to improve the HVAC systems throughout the buildings and I appreciate very much the 01:14:17
willingness of the other supervisors to contribute to this fairly significant amount of money. So with that, I'll answer any 01:14:26
questions I have. No questions. Supervisor Klein? No, I'm good. Thank you. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 01:14:34
Mr. Chair, I move to approve the economic development Agreement number 09052024 with Community, Education, Recreational and Civic 01:14:46
Association as presented, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. 01:14:55
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, thank you very much. Item 3 M 01:15:05
also my item, it's a annual request. It's information discussion, action to approve economic development agreement number 09042024 01:15:12
between Hugh County and the Pine Strawberry fuel reduction in the amount of $5000 to provide residents with free brush removal to 01:15:20
reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. 01:15:27
Which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. This is a very active 501C3 group of volunteers that run a 01:15:35
brush pit. They also help residents do firewise. They also create trail systems in order to provide greater and better access for 01:15:42
anyone that needs to get into the forest recreationally and also for. 01:15:50
Fire prevention, et cetera. So this is part of their annual request. And so I will answer any questions. The supervisor Humphrey, 01:15:59
I have no questions. Supervisor Klein. I'm good, Mr. Chair. OK, then I'll call for a motion. 01:16:07
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement number 09042024 with pine strawberry fuel reduction as 01:16:15
presented, which the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Carroll, I'll second that. OK, we have a motion 01:16:24
and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you very much. Item 3 and also my item. 01:16:33
It just happened that all this kind of came together in one meeting, so. 01:16:42
3 N is information discussion action to approve economic development agreement number 0302024 between county and the Tunnel 01:16:47
research and Rescue Squad incorporated A501C3 in the amount of $15,519.78 to purchase and elevate search and rescue motor kit and 01:16:57
a 7 by 12 tandem axle enclosed trailer which the. 01:17:07
To be for the benefit of the public, this is a request brought to me for two items. The first item, which is called the Elevate 01:17:17
Search and Rescue Motor Kit is like a Gurney with a battery powered wheel to assist in very difficult extractions when needed such 01:17:25
as Fossil Creek and the 7 by 12 tandem axle trailer is to provide. 01:17:33
A better and newer storage for I believe the scuba diving and we have Mr. Bill Curly. 01:17:43
Apparently today he's head of the Tunnel Rim Search and Rescue. Mr. Piddley, would you like to add any comments? 01:17:50
Yes, thank you. 01:17:58
We've been involved in 323 times this year and that is one of our most typical third extractions and this. 01:18:05
Probably within the last year, but it's being done by a group of bicycles. California. There are shows out there. 01:18:20
Together and make this work. And so they did, and. 01:18:32
Videos that I have seen on it and the reviews that been able to find on it, it shows like fossil springs, like Monopoly trail they 01:18:36
say it can do. 01:18:43
5 miles and 3000 with elevation game. We're at all around 3 miles. 15116 hundred foot elevation games. I think that it would 01:18:50
actually work out well. 01:18:56
I have had on several pages I had to call on the helicopter to get someone out of there because I did not have enough staff that 01:19:03
that was able to respond. 01:19:09
Somebody because I had people fight up on other missions. Greatly busy this year. We're in 84 mission so far at 1:00 last night 01:19:15
again. 01:19:19
Anyway, and then the slope water trailer. 01:19:25
And we wore out our last one endless squad for at least 10 years, probably longer. And. 01:19:30
You know, we're a little rough on our clothes sometimes. 01:19:40
And. 01:19:45
Regarding the level that we're turning in. So I appreciate this opportunity. 01:19:48
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:19:54
I have no questions. 01:19:57
Supervisor Klein, I really don't get to comment. You know, I think we cut him off his children. 01:20:00
Did I cut you off, Bill? 01:20:09
OK. 01:20:14
OK, sorry. OK, I have no question. OK, Yeah, that's just becoming cool to see how it works. So yeah. 01:20:16
I'm good. 01:20:23
Well, if you'd like, go down into Fossil Creek, have an injury and I don't want to go down there. 01:20:25
Unless I'm on someone with four legs. OK, thank you very much. I don't really have any comments. I, I, well, I do, I guess. I. 01:20:30
I really enjoy benefiting the search and rescue people. They're all volunteer. It's a great organization and this helps with the 01:20:40
health and safety of the public county wide. So happy to be able to help. So with that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I move 01:20:47
to approve economic development agreement number 09302024 with the Tunnel Rim Search and Rescue Squad incorporated as presented, 01:20:54
which. 01:21:02
Has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Chair. I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in 01:21:09
favor say aye aye. Thank you, Bill. Thank you, gentlemen. Our next item is an item number 4 consent agenda items. We have item A 01:21:18
through F Supervisor Humphrey. Any one or more items you'd like to remove from the consent agenda to discuss. 01:21:26
No, I'm good. Thank you. OK, same question to you, Supervisor Klein. 01:21:35
No, I'm good. 01:21:41
OK. All right. Then I will call for a motion to approve consent agenda items for A through F So moved, Mr. Chair, I'll second it. 01:21:43
All right, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you. 01:21:51
Lisa, do we have anyone in Payson for call to the public item number 5? 01:22:01
OK, Cassandra, how many do we have on the Internet today? 01:22:07
50 oh, that's a good number. And we don't have anyone that wishes to speak, OK. 01:22:13
And anyone here in the boardroom? No. OK, so let's move on to item number six, which is the. 01:22:17
What do you call it? We'll call it a presentation of the county manager and supervisors. So, Mr. Manager. 01:22:30
Mr. Chairman, remember the Board attended with you last week the County Supervisors Association Legislative Summit preparation for 01:22:40
the upcoming legislative session that starts in January. 01:22:45
Very productive meetings. And then also this week, we'll be attending the Arizona Department of Transportation Rural 01:22:52
Transportation Summit in Prescott. I think it's important to have representation there because of the ongoing projects that we 01:23:00
continue to try to support and bring to Healer County, one of those being the Lion Springs project, 4 miles of widening. 01:23:09
The 260 highway in Northern Arizona. 01:23:19
Just a short summary of why that's why it's important is that the Land Springs project was on the. 01:23:24
Arizona Department of Transportation list of projects for a number of years was planned to be enacted then as Mr. Stratton former 01:23:31
Public Works director for Healer County stated that nobody representing Healer County went to these meetings and went to there to 01:23:37
advocators support these projects in the council has dropped from the Arizona Department of transportation list of projects to be 01:23:44
completed. 01:23:50
It is not back now on line Springs is back on the Arizona Department of Transportation projects and it was acquisition of property 01:23:57
obtained right away and within the next year or so is scheduled to start construction of that widening project. So important that 01:24:04
we keep ourselves in the game and supporting the projects in Gila County. So that's the reason to attend the Arizona Department of 01:24:11
Transportation Rural Transportation Summit. 01:24:19
Week in Prescott. Thank you, Mr. Chen. 01:24:26
Supervisor Humphrey. 01:24:30
Also, agenda, the PSA Legislative Policy Summit will do every year. We didn't do anything this year kind of sneaks up on us and 01:24:33
without knowing ahead of time that it just kind of slips by. And so anyway, but there was a lot of lot of good discussion. I held 01:24:40
a Roosevelt dumpster day on Saturday. 01:24:48
And I called the metal scrapper. Usually I take my truck and trailer for the tires and the metal. 01:24:57
And then everything else can go in the dumpster so that when they get back to the landfill, they don't have to sort all the stuff. 01:25:03
And so anyway, this year I called a metal scrapper to see if he was interested. And I'm sure glad that they did because not only 01:25:10
did we fill a dumpster and 1/2 with just stuff, he took like 4 loads of metal. There was washers, dryers, hot water. You can't 01:25:18
imagine the the metal bicycle that everything in the world got. I've been. 01:25:25
For about 3 days I was doing it by myself. So anyway, that turned out pretty good and it was a it was a good clean up day at 01:25:33
Roosevelt and I held a Roosevelt community meeting yesterday at 1:00. I was on KQSS radio last night at 5:30 and that's about it. 01:25:43
Thank you, Supervisor Final. 01:25:54
Thank you, Mr. Chair. So all week or so ago I went to Washington State on WIR and attended a meeting up there for a couple of 01:25:57
days. Lot of good information came out of that. There's there's issues that are affecting us as well as the other 11 Western 01:26:05
states. And so a lot of that was discussed. One of those issues is the insurance companies dropping. 01:26:14
Homeowners insurance. 01:26:24
And that isn't only here, it's throughout. Everybody to the Canadian border had a really good meeting, worked on some priorities, 01:26:26
but the hard part of the priority list. 01:26:31
All hinges on this next election. And so a lot of our discussion was just based on, well, we can do this. If this happens, we can 01:26:38
do that. If that happens, however, it's going to work out. We just have to wait and see. But there was a was a very, very good 01:26:44
meeting and I was there along with Craig Sullivan. 01:26:51
And CSA and Patrice Osman from Coconino. So all three of us were up there. 01:26:58
Last Saturday I attended a Ponderosa Springs meeting and at the fire department and remember when we were there, we helped them 01:27:06
with the well. So they've they've they've had the well drilled. It doesn't produce a lot of water, but it's going to produce 01:27:12
enough to be able to put a restroom facilities in that that station. They went down about 220 feet and they're getting less than a 01:27:19
gallon a minute. 01:27:25
But with proper storage and whatnot, they can make that work. I'm gonna work with them a little bit. They're gonna go ahead and 01:27:33
start pursuing a septic system for that that station. So I'm gonna be working with them on that and. 01:27:40
Hopefully we can get it done in the next two or three years. It's going to be pretty costly just because of the type of system 01:27:48
it's going to have to be. That afternoon. I also participated in a auction there in Young that was set up for the Community 01:27:54
Center. There's a fundraising auction. 01:28:00
Ton of items we auctioned off a lot of people who was there is a really good time. I don't know the final figures. I believe by 01:28:07
the end of the night they should have been somewhere around $6000 community centers and as it all going towards their kitchen, 01:28:14
