3C information, discussion action to adopt resolution number 241204 accepting Azure right, Dr. Vornight Lane, Malachite Lane and 00:07:51
Turquoise Drive into the Yula County maintained roadway system as county public roads. Good morning, O'Mara. Good morning. 00:07:59
Chairman and board members, good to be back and happy holidays. Thank you. 00:08:09
This item is being brought to you because when we first were working with Tri-City on the use of county public roads for their 00:08:15
sanitary district, we found they found out that the county actually didn't have ownership for these roads or an easement and they 00:08:24
wanted to see if we could get that. We've been maintaining these four roads Ash Right drive. 00:08:32
Overnight Lane, Malachite Lane and Pork W Drive For decades. We can go back as far as we want to and we see that we've been 00:08:40
maintaining these roads. This was a subdivision that was created. The roads were actually created before 1960. We actually see an 00:08:47
aerial map that shows us the roads. 00:08:54
And we, like I said earlier, we've been maintaining the roads, but now that we have purchased the roads just right now you 00:09:03
purchased that parcel. 00:09:06
Now we own the roads. We can officially add these to our list of maintained roads. Officially they are. Unofficially today we've 00:09:11
been maintaining them, so they are already on that list. We're not increasing the number of miles that that we maintain. This is 00:09:19
correcting a a record of ownership, the person that owned this property. 00:09:27
Passed away and as far as I can see 2012 at least. No, no taxes were paid on this on this parcel. 00:09:35
At least 2012, perhaps even before. 00:09:43
And we work, now that we've taken ownership, we would like to bring to the board this resolution #24 Dash 12/04 to accept the four 00:09:48
ropes, Ashrite Dr. Bornight Lane, Malachite Lane, and Torquay Drive into the Hila County Maintain Rotary system. And with that, 00:09:55
I'll answer your question. Thank you, Humira Supervisor. I have no questions tomorrow. I've been with you on that since it 00:10:03
started. I just want to say thank you and staff. 00:10:10
For the research that you did to enable us to be able to do this, to help go forward. And so I, I just want to say thank you very 00:10:18
much for helping this process get get taken care of. Thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Klein Homer, thanks, I explained 00:10:27
it very well. Thanks for that. So Romero, does this mean we will receive her funds or have we been receiving her funds from. 00:10:36
Pardon me, Her funds, yes, these roads should be maintained by her funds. We have been receiving her funds for decades. Again, we 00:10:46
have been maintaining the road there. There's not an issue that we receive funds and and didn't apply the funds correctly. We just 00:10:53
didn't have ownership for the road. That's the only issue. All right, great. Good to clear that up then. And with that, I will 00:11:00
call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-12-04. 00:11:07
I'll second it. 00:11:14
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank you. 00:11:16
Item 3D is information discussion action to approve each board members representation on various boards, committees and 00:11:23
organizations for the coming year 2025. Good morning James. 00:11:29
Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Members of the Board annually, members of the boards of supervisors, there are certain committees, 00:11:37
certain commissions and responsibilities organizations that we participated in with the county, as you can see the list on the 00:11:43
staff report of what is recommended. 00:11:49
We recommend that these be adopted and approved for. 00:11:56
Committee assignments for. 00:12:00
Calendar year 2025. 00:12:04
But this is all up for discussion for you as the board. 00:12:08
That's what assignments you have. And we have those lists. Thank you, James. Supervisor. Huh? I have. I have nothing to discuss. 00:12:12
OK, Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Yeah, we're all happy with our assignments. I am as well. So with that, we'll. I'll call for 00:12:17
motion. 00:12:23
I move to approve each board member's representation on various board committees and organizations for year 2025, and I'll second 00:12:30
that motion in the second to approve those in favor say aye aye. Thank you, James. Either 3E information discussion action to 00:12:38
accept the donation from the Freeport Mcmoran Community Foundation through the Community Grandstand Project. 00:12:46
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board probably won't come up. 00:12:55
Good morning. 00:13:02
Good to see you again. As a collaboration between Freeport Mcmoran Community Foundation and Healer County, the Community 00:13:03
Grandstands project will significantly increase the seating capacity for local events, enabling more inclusive and larger scale 00:13:09
cultural and recreational gatherings. By providing mobile ADA compliant seating, this initiative will enhance community 00:13:15
participation and cohesion. 00:13:22
While stimulating simultaneously boosting local economic economic activity through increased attendance at events and associated 00:13:29
spending. 00:13:33
This is 2 portable ADA compliant grandstands that can be moved throughout the county and there I don't comprehend it all but it's 00:13:38
old. You can go put them in place park them and push 1 button and they establish set themselves up. Open up to full grandstands 00:13:47
that have 88 ramps and and seating and be a total of just less than 400 seats that can be used. 00:13:57
And they will have a canopy on top as well. 00:14:07
Covered seating these right now out at the fairgrounds we have the second rodeo arena have no stands at all can be used there. 00:14:10
And we'd like to be able to use them for other events throughout the county and throughout the community. Freeport has their 00:14:20
community investment fund that they do annually and appropriate dollars for investments. And we, the county applied for this. 00:14:30
The idea is that report has approved a funding request of 125,965 which will pay for one of those grand standing. The county will 00:14:41
pay for the second one. 00:14:46
So it's 100% match between the two of us, but it would be a great opportunity for us to enhance recreational opportunities in the 00:14:53
county. 00:14:57
Would you like to make a comment? 00:15:03
That's OK. 00:15:06
Members on the board and staff just pleased to be here again. So you guys have to present this check on behalf of the Freeport 00:15:08
Macarons Foundation and also the Community Investment Committee, who, you know, serves on this committee for three years. And they 00:15:15
spent many hours going over grant applications and training for that. So they, you know, found this to be a really good 00:15:22
application and and you know, really like it. It's addressing. 00:15:29
An existing issue. 00:15:37
Familiar with the lack of feeding, sometimes it's really good, especially, you know, like globe graduation and then the 00:15:38
opportunities that, you know, created with this for the county and for the community at large. So with that check and we round it 00:15:45
up, can we do a philosophy as you come down here? Are we going to vote on accepting that we might? Yes. Why don't why don't we 00:15:52
vote and see if we want to accept it? OK, so I'll call for a motion then. 00:15:59
Oh, well, I'm sorry by the Humphrey. Do you have any questions? No, I do not. Supervisor Klein Robin, thank you that that's going 00:16:06
to be a big plus for the county and being portable like that and being able to use it in other places is really a cool deal. So 00:16:12
thank you and everyone is involved. 00:16:18
He's very special. Thank you. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to accept a donation from the 00:16:24
Freeport Mcmoran Community Foundation for the community Grandstand project. 00:16:30
Mr. Gerald, second that motion and a second to approve in favor say aye, aye, aye. 00:16:37
Thank you, thank you, thank you, James. Item 3F Information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of Request for 00:16:55
Proposal number 110424. 00:17:01
Bleachers Grandstand Project, Joseph. 00:17:08
Good morning, Jim. Good morning, Order Supervisors, Thank you for the opportunity to present this agenda item. It's a piggyback of 00:17:16
what we just got presented, so I won't go into too much depth. We'll be happy to answer any questions at the end. 00:17:22
This project is an important step to enhancing the Healer County Fairgrounds capacity to better serve our residents and visitors. 00:17:30
Gala County Fairgrounds plays a vital role in hosting community events that bring people together. From fairs and rodeos to 00:17:36
concerts and festivals. Better accommodate these gatherings. Your proposed acquiring 2 high capacity mobile grandstands, each 00:17:43
capable of seating at approximately 300 to 400 people. 00:17:49
These grandstands will meet ADA accessible accessibility standards. 00:17:56
That the residents and visitors of all abilities can enjoy events comfortably and safely. Additionally, we plan to procure a 00:18:00
mobile event stage. This stage will provide a flexible and reliable platform for concerts, theatrical performance, and public 00:18:06
presentations, enhancing the overall experience for performers and attendees while expanding the fairgrounds ability to host 00:18:12
variety of events. 00:18:18
With these improvements, the Hill County Fairgrounds will be able to see an additional 600 to 800 people. 00:18:25
A more accessible, inviting and enjoyable experience for all attendees. These additional conditions will make the fairgrounds a 00:18:31
more personal and sought after revenue venue for events of all kinds. We respectfully recommend that the Board of Supervisors 00:18:38
approve the advertisement of request for Proposal number 110424 Leechers Grandstand project, allowing us to take the next steps 00:18:46
forward enhancing our community facilities. With that, I'd be happy to take any questions. Thank you, Joseph. 00:18:53
I guess maintenance and storage. 00:19:01
Yes, Sir. So as far as the maintenance goes, it'll fall underneath the facilities maintenance program. We anticipate it not to be 00:19:05
a large impact. It'll be essentially just tighten up screws, preventative maintenance. 00:19:12
As far as the storage, we're still working on on that. 00:19:20
OK. Thank you. 00:19:24
Super by the climb. 00:19:26
And just so I'm clear, Joseph, with these being portable, they're going to be able to be used wherever in the county we need to. I 00:19:28
can not just the fairgrounds. That is correct. And to go off of a point that Mister Minlove made. 00:19:34
They're very intuitive and easy to set up. So it's not, you know, a bunch of training or specialized folks. Yeah, that's cool. 00:19:42
Thank you. 00:19:45
Yeah, I have no questions. That sounds like a great thing. Very mobile. We can use it north-south, east, West, wherever it's 00:19:51
needed. So, yes, Sir. All right, so this is a request for a proposal. I'll call for a motion. 00:19:57
Mr. Chair, I move to authorize the advertisement of request for Proposal number 110424. And Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a 00:20:04
motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, thank you, thank you, Joseph. Item 3G is information discussion 00:20:12
action to adopt Resolution 12241202, establishing a policy for the disposition of excess proceeds resulting from Arizona Revised 00:20:19
Statute 24. 00:20:26
18303 Paragraph C Sales of land held by the State under tax deed. Good morning, Joe. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the 00:20:34
Board. 00:20:39
Town 42 has several provisions dealing with. 00:20:46
With unpaid taxes were real property taxes aren't paid by the owner. And then there are. Depending on the nature of the property, 00:20:51
there are at least three mechanisms by which. 00:20:57
Taxes can be collected. 00:21:05
Resolution number 241202 deals with the narrow cases where property is actually needed to the state of Arizona under the state 00:21:08
under a tax deed and then the clerk of the Board of Supervisors schedules sales of those properties. The other mechanisms involve 00:21:18
pretty much the treasurer and in some cases the the Department of Revenue. This one is deals with the. 00:21:28
With the Board of Supervisors and the clerk of the board. 00:21:38
And after the sale is made. 00:21:42
And taxes are paid and distributed to the various tax entities and top of those taxes. On occasion there are excess proceeds 00:21:47
remaining and very often the treasurer's office is unable to determine where the owner is so that the that the excess proceeds can 00:21:55
return be returned to the property owner. I surveyed other counties. 00:22:04
And many of the smaller counties, like Gila, use what's called in this treatment process, whereby after a period of time, after 00:22:13
two years, if the property owner cannot be located either in Arizona or at the last known mailing address of the property owner, 00:22:21
then that property is transferred to the Arizona Department of Revenue under a process known as achievement. It basically goes 00:22:28
back to English common law, and then that property is held. 00:22:35
By the Department of Revenue available for the person to put the property owner. 00:22:43
Being properly identified to claim those excess proceeds and so this. 00:22:49
This resolution deals with that narrow subject matter and. 00:22:56
I first started working on this this past summer when Samantha was dealing with the. 00:23:03
With an issue that took some time to resolve but finally was and so the other counties use this mechanism successfully. And so 00:23:08
this board is being asked to consider adopting Resolution 24 Dash 1202 that deals with that limited set of of properties that are 00:23:15
needed to the state under tax fee. 00:23:22
Thank you, Joe. Supervisor Humphrey, no questions. Supervisor Klein Joe asked some questions and I've I've never really. 00:23:31
I have a hard time getting past the fact if you lose a piece of property because you don't pay taxes and it goes back to the state 00:23:40
and care of the county, you no longer have ownership of that property, correct? 00:23:45
You no longer have title to that property. That's ownership in my opinion. But but my biggest question is, is, is I don't see how. 00:23:52
We, as you know, as the caretakers of this property, we go through the efforts and the processes to sell this property back and 00:24:03
get it back on, on the county rolls. I mean that's our goal is to, to receive taxes off this property. I've never seen why we 00:24:09
would be. 00:24:15
Made to go back to the previous owners to give them any excess off of that property. To me it's it's like if you quit paying taxes 00:24:24
for a property and it's no longer yours, you don't have anything more to do with it. Well, I mean, basically the Arizona State law 00:24:32
in Title 42 requires that excess proceeds be returned to the property owner. That's very specifically required. 00:24:41
In in 4218303 C. 00:24:49
And, and the, the mechanism that's established in this resolution protects both the due process rights and the property interest 00:24:52
rights, constitutional rights both under both the federal and Arizona State constitutions to return to their property that they're 00:24:59
entitled to. 00:25:05
That's the way the legislature dealt with the matter. They could have dealt with it differently, but that's mechanism that that 00:25:12
we're probably going to follow. So, so this that you're proposing, so if you have money left over on this, this sale, you know, 00:25:19
you pay the back taxes there, say $1000 left, whatever it is. And it goes into this, this account basically that you're proposing 00:25:27
under this resolution, he'll sit there for two years and then if it's not claimed. 00:25:34
Comes back to the county or no? It sits in the treasurer's office for two years. Well, the treasurer attempts to locate the owner 00:25:42
and return the the excess. Proceeds to the property owner. In the event after two years, she the tracer is unable to return those 00:25:51
funds and the property is transferred by the achievement process to the Arizona Department of Revenue. 00:25:59
And the Department of Revenue holds that money and if the proper claim is made? 00:26:08
Then that person can receive their their money from the Department of Revenue. 00:26:14
And almost every state in the union has adopted a process like that. You can look now and you can check for yourself to see if you 00:26:20
own any property. If you have a small bank account in just kind of abandoned it 8 or 10 years ago and you had $40 in it, you still 00:26:28
have $40 in it after the statutory fees are collected. 00:26:36
From that, but that money belongs to the property owner and never to the state or the political subdivisions of the state. 00:26:45
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense to me, but I understand what you're saying, it just. 00:26:53
Common sense wise, it just tells me when you lose property you've lost it and but if that's the way we need to go and. 00:26:58
So I'm here if you have any questions as well. 00:27:09
Who's there? That's our treasurer. Oh, Monica. Yeah. And actually, Miss Wolford helped, helped out with that situation that I 00:27:14
would turn. I referred to one of your this summer, I think it was in July or August, when she returned those funds to the property 00:27:20
owner would make a proper claim. 00:27:26
Well, so I understand since statute and that's where the legislation is set it up. So I mean that that's over and above our heads 00:27:34
basically just. 00:27:38
It still doesn't make sense to me, but I understand what you're saying. 00:27:43
Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're very welcome. I'll just have to make a confession. I've never had enough money or accounts to have 00:27:48
lost track of them, so it it does seem like a strange thing. What you're asking for, though, is a policy change. 00:27:57
In our in the bonus supervisors actions, I guess, Mr. Chairman, actually it isn't a change. There hadn't been a process before and 00:28:08
it was unclear. So we're establishing yes, yes, Sir. 00:28:15
Very good. Is anyone paying taxes on the property? Once it becomes sold and this excess money goes into something is the sale of 00:28:23
that then that person is responsible for the taxes. 00:28:32
That arises under a different chapter in Psalm 42. And in fact there there can be several purchasers of tax deeds in those schemes 00:28:42
and it it gets pretty complicated, it can. 00:28:48
Yeah, as I said, when I begin there are. 00:28:55
At least three different mechanisms for dealing with unpaid taxes in each is distinct. 00:28:58
From the others. 00:29:06
Thank you, Joe. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-12-01. 00:29:08
I'll second that. 00:29:17
It should be 241202. 00:29:20
Correct. I've got 12/01. 12:01 is what I have asked. 00:29:24
It's 2. 00:29:31
And then we need to change it on the motion and the paperwork as well. Please reflect that. 00:29:34
OK, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #2412-O2. 00:29:42
I'll second that. Hey, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, Joe. 00:29:49
Item 3H Information discussion action to approve economic Development agreement number 12092024 between Gila County Rim Country 00:29:57
Regional Chamber of Commerce to support operations and advertising campaigns, which the Board is determined to be for the benefit 00:30:04
of the public. And we have Marin with us morning. And I noticed we have a couple members also in Pace. Yes, good morning, Mr. 00:30:11
Chair, up in Payson today. 00:30:18
We have folks from the room, country, regional Chamber of Commerce. 00:30:26
And they will be sharing a presentation with you about the success that the Rim Country Chamber has had and how he, the county's 00:30:29
economic development grant has supported that success. OK, thank you. 00:30:35
Good morning. 00:30:43
Good morning. 00:30:45
Thank you very much for your. 00:30:54
Support over the last year, especially last year, other country, regional Chamber of Commerce, that's where it's been critical to 00:30:59
our efforts to support local business and economic development and all agreements. 00:31:07
So sorry not to say thank you very much for your passport. First off, I'd like to direct the attention to the front page of around 00:31:15
it and I can't see it, but there was a really nice article in here. 00:31:22
About our fourth quarter event around the economic forecast for 2025. 00:31:31
We had an excellent expert speaker from Invesco from from. 00:31:38
New York, we have some Arizona local speakers as well talking about real estate and interest rates and everything that goes into 00:31:45
one of our businesses and individuals can expect. 00:31:52
For 2025. 00:32:01
And so we are very proud of that event and the impact that we have for those that attended and. 00:32:04
This last year in 2024, we decided to take a little bit of a different approach to what we were doing as far as our events, our 00:32:12
outpatient, how we supported membership and we felt like the person said there, was very successful. 00:32:23
And set this up for the future and instead of doing a monthly luncheon. 00:32:35
We went ahead and did 4 quarterly profit specific events, the first being centered around nonprofits. How's the Twitter 00:32:40
nonprofits? How do we get them to collaborate with each other? How do they get volunteers? Very funny. It's a very different topic 00:32:49
around nonprofits. 00:32:57
And critical feedback from from those over there to say how important question and how much they they got that economy we had 00:33:05
Jennifer Perry from Arizona. 00:33:10
Community Foundation she manages millions and millions of dollars that allocated. 00:33:16
They went to different nonprofits. 00:33:24
Throughout the state and so we're very close to her as well as some other experts that came second quarter with Senator Tourism 00:33:26
and we'll see if you really want to focus on how our businesses. 00:33:34
Can take advantage of the incoming tourist activity. We titled it not just weekend traffic, right? How can they take some? They 00:33:43
say, oh it's such a so many people in town. How do we take that attitude and change it and say wow, look at all of the 00:33:52
opportunities that's coming to town. 00:34:01
How do we take advantage of that? 00:34:11
So that was a great, great event. 00:34:13
And then our third quarter event is prosperity through education and we get a really nice workshop on how business and support 00:34:18
education and how education more importantly supports business. 00:34:26
We partnered with the Road Country Western Health Festival, excuse me, the rodeo community as well as as others. 00:34:36
And then, of course, like I mentioned earlier, our fourth quarter was our economic forecast. 00:34:48
Throughout all of that. 00:34:57
One of them, you know our mission as a chamber. 00:34:59
This is a little bit better and that's what it is. And the one way that we can we really try to do that is by Heart Marine with 00:35:03
other nonprofits partnering with other chamber and business to help that. So we have done entrepreneurs, we did a moon shot. 00:35:15
Partnered with them the the the growing great partnership with the rodeo committee. 00:35:29
We really started off roading a week. 00:35:35
Incredibly successful. 00:35:39
Mixer properly and all these things. So in as much as the chamber is really trying to. 00:35:42
Expand their influence and reach as far as economic development is concerned. We don't want to miss out on all of the other 00:35:52
networking opportunities for our businesses and we sprinkled in all of these events throughout the calendar. 00:36:00
Next. 00:36:09
Thing we have coming up January. 00:36:14
24th Excuse Me is our Community Awards and Awards and Hall of Fame. 00:36:18
So it's going to be an opportunity for us to recognize businesses, business leaders, citizens, nonprofits and other groups that 00:36:27
have had a real impact on our community as a whole. 00:36:35
Well, many, many, many years. 00:36:44
Those that have made a real country and what it is today and I've had instrumental influence and and creating our our amazing 00:36:48
community that we love. 00:36:53
So that's going to be a great event coming up for a January 25th. We actually have spent this morning doing a bunch of planning 00:37:00
and we're excited to get that off the ground. Yeah, so the just a little more on the award thing for the EPS and Foster DNS for us 00:37:09
and I'm very grateful for that. But what we're all going to be the first ever. 00:37:18
Business award for the Chamber here in our country is doing. 00:37:28
So we're also going to be start the Hall of Fame. So we're going to have a business Hall of Fame and hope to display the those. 00:37:32
Public Library Library as well as. 00:37:42
She realized how important those outstanding businesses are in addition to our new businesses that are growing. 00:37:47
With regards to 2025 activities, we've built a very strong template this year that we're going to apply next year. So more of 00:37:56
those quarterly events they were April is the first one and on January 25th, Saturday. So we'll start with that. We're going to do 00:38:03
the second non profit for us. 00:38:11
This year, so last year with collaboration, so we're going to be putting out a survey to see what our attendance last year that's 00:38:19
what ideas they have on the topic for this year. We've already got a handful of people is committed to coming to speak to 00:38:28
contribute to the event because it was so successful last year we had a third quarter event that will be profit. 00:38:36
Able topic will be related to what's going on in the third quarter and then again our economic update. 00:38:47
Feedback from our membership that they want for networking opportunities, so we're implementing that as well. We're going to do 00:38:54
some forming networking and afternoon networking and evening networking. So lots of opportunities as well as weekend activities. 00:39:04
And our main focus is for 2025 is going to be faster than these things. So we're really going to make sure that we're delivering. 00:39:13
As they're seated, we're going to be out. 00:39:24
Side by side more and that's really the goal and we can do that this year because we had such a strong, successful year in 2024. 00:39:27
Market increase in membership as well. You've reached our membership. Total membership. 00:39:39
Beginning of the year and so we're looking forward to. 00:39:47
Increasing goals for 2025 brand, our executive. I figured she's about that right? Football media, but. 00:39:52
The Chamber of Commerce in the end, we we really have a board that is excited about our local business. They're active and we 00:40:03
really want to have. 00:40:10
Xbox and be a resource for our local businesses here, which includes, you know, all over the country. We don't need an opportunity 00:40:19
to communicate with Colonel Mason Chamber. We're working on news and firing projects with them. Miranda has been part of discovery 00:40:27
in the county and we've heard with them on. 00:40:36
Many different things, as well as getting a chance to meet with the World Chamber. 00:40:45
We want to continue those partnerships and hope to grow those because the county as a whole only benefits from. 00:40:50
Our strong businesses that we have. 00:41:00
Especially as Stuart has released the tourism. 00:41:03
Education all of those, all of those things that are a primary focus source. And I just wanted to mention one of our strongest 00:41:07
partnerships and both successful partnerships is with Discover Newland County. I sit on the board directors, but we work very 00:41:15
closely as it relates to everything on their website promoting activities that relate to tourism and economic development. And so 00:41:22
their definitely we work and again good done which. 00:41:30
Hewitt County as a whole, and that was intentional. 00:41:37
So I mean, I guess I put it out there, any questions for us about what our plans are even that we're doing now? Anything you'd 00:41:44
like to see us do in the future? 00:41:49
Was that a question? 00:41:58
Yeah. Could you say that again, Andy? 00:42:01
I guess was asking if there was any questions that you might ask for. Okay, thank you, Andy. Thank you Miranda. Supervisor 00:42:05
Humphrey, I would just like to say, you know, thanks for all that you're doing to promote businesses and things in in Hayley 00:42:13
County and, and I'm glad to hear that you've got a great working relationship with Discover Healer County because when we started 00:42:20
working with that, a lot of people were saying, well, you're competing with the. 00:42:27
Commerce and it's like, well, no, we're not. We're trying to work with all the Chamber of Commerce to better the part of Hila 00:42:35
County. So I thank you very much for all you're doing and I and I'm glad that you know, to looking down the road and have seen 00:42:41
from where we started that it is working well with the other Chambers of Commerce to help through the county as a whole. So thank 00:42:47
you very much. Thank you, supervisor Supervisor Klein. 00:42:53
And, and as far as it's coming in the county is concerned. 00:43:01
We can't do it without. 00:43:08
You know that that relationship with them is great and in no way that. 00:43:10
We very much need them and, and and have appreciated what that partnership has been to our chamber. 00:43:17
Randy and Miranda, thank you for what you guys do and glad to be a help here and support you on it. So thanks. 00:43:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for the presentation and all the work that you do. It is very effective and vital, so. 00:43:35
We're done discussing it. I guess we'll I'll call for a motion. 00:43:48
Next year I move to approve the Economic Development Agreement number 12092024 with the Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, 00:43:51
which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that. I have a motion and a second to 00:43:59
approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Motion carries. Thank you very much, Andy and Miranda. 00:44:07
Let's move on to item three. I information discussion action to adopt policy number BOSFIN 115 grants management and repeal policy 00:44:16
number the OS 32003 accepting and administering. 00:44:25
Grants, Yes. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, Supervisor Klein, Good morning, Supervisor Humphrey. Our grant management 00:44:34
policy that has been in effect is nearly 20 years old. There have been a lot of updates to the way grants run, including changes 00:44:42
at the federal level as to what our responsibilities are for our annual single audit. So we've worked with our grants committee 00:44:49
and with the County Attorney's office to bring this revised. 00:44:57
Policy to you and we were trying to get on a work session. We were unable to get that done, so we brought it here to this 00:45:04
morning's meeting. 00:45:09
Thank you, Mayor and Supervisor Humphrey, I have a question, so get ready. 00:45:14
I have gone through my book and Hino County Board of Supervisors policy. In my book, the policy number is Board of Supervisors 00:45:21
#3-2005 that we are. And so before we go forward, I just want to make sure the numbers are right so we don't. 00:45:33
Sorry, that's a typo in that agenda item. The attachment that says original policy number BOS three 2005 is. 00:45:46
Is attached here in the lower left hand corner of what's on the screen. Sorry about that. 00:45:55
So it is 5, not 3. 00:46:03
OK. 00:46:08
OK. That's what I think, the supervisor. Supervisor Klein man, thanks. Thanks for working. 00:46:10
20 years of catching up is long time, so thanks. Thank you, Mayor. And with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the 00:46:17
motion to adopt policy number BOSF IN-115 and repeal policy number B OS3-2005. 00:46:27
2nd, that we have a motion and a second to prove those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, Marin. Item 3J Information discussion 00:46:38

revised resolution to the Arizona Auditor General. 00:46:55
Yes. Good morning again, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. We had an error on the submission that we sent to the 00:47:04
Auditor General's Office for CFO designation. It was just a fiscal year error and we would like to correct that and resubmit. 00:47:12
Supervisor Humphrey, no questions. Supervisor Klein, I'm good, so am I. With that, I'll call through motion I move to adopt 00:47:21
revised resolution #24-11-01, and I'll second that motion of the second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:47:31
Marin, we have Item 3K information discussion action to approve a funding agreement accepting $150,000 from Resolution Copper 00:47:42
Mining LLC, which will be used to support the Michelson building project. Yes, good morning again, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Humphrey, 00:47:49
Supervisor Klein. Back in September, you had Brian Sepola from Resolution Copper here along with Robin Bradford from Freeport, and 00:47:57
they were sharing with you. 00:48:04
The support that both of their organizations are providing to the Michelson Building project. Today we are bringing you the formal 00:48:11
agreement with resolution for the $150,000 that they are committing to the Michelson project. This represents three years of 00:48:21
economic development. Contributions to heal a county of each of those years would be $50,000 each for a total of $150,000. 00:48:31
And it is designated for the Michelson building, which is becoming a business incubator. 00:48:41
You can see the other sources of funding are included in this agenda item and you can also see the timeline of the project shared 00:48:47
here in this agenda item that we shared back in September when we have this discussion previously. 00:48:54
Thank you, Marin Supervisor Humphrey. 00:49:03
Oh, OK. Yeah. This is a project that we're, we've been working with the City of Globe on. And so just a question. And is facility 00:49:07
is facilities overseeing this project? Facilities is collaborating with the city of Globe. We have to allow the city of Globe to 00:49:17
handle certain aspects of the project for them to have access to the $750,000 of congressionally directed spending from the USDA. 00:49:26
So we are working hand in hand with the city to ensure that the City of Globe is in compliance with everything they need to do to 00:49:36
get that money, while we are doing everything we need to do to maintain excellent stewardship of our property. Thank you. 00:49:44
Supervisor Klein. 00:49:53
Man, thank you and I really want to thank Resolution Copper for partner on this and everybody else that's involved as well. City 00:49:54
of Globe, thank you guys for all you're done on it and. 00:49:59
Really looking for the completion of this project, so certainly get there the better on James. 00:50:05
Mr. Chairman. 00:50:13
Mr. Jefferson from the City Globe is here. And if you would like to make any comments, certainly if you'd like to make some 00:50:16
comments, please come up. 00:50:19
Thank you for coming. 00:50:25
Mr. Chairman, members of the board and to Mr. Humphreys question, we like I say, this is the, the money we got is tied through 00:50:30
federal that we have to do the procurement and the oversight, but but this is your building and and we work with your staff to to 00:50:38
oversee the construction. We'll be overseeing that the paperwork part and make sure everything gets paid. 00:50:45
But for the who's going to call balls and strikes and whether the contractors are doing a good job or not, whether that's what is 00:50:53
is met, what's supposed to be, that's going to be in the hands of of county staff. 00:50:58
It's so important. We we are happy. It needs to be your oversight at least on the construction. That's the building that that you 00:51:04
own. And, and, and like I say, we're just doing this as part of the paperwork requirements of the federal money. Yeah, no, it's a 00:51:10
great partnership and I, yeah, I think, I think it's great and I appreciate everybody getting it done as as well as all the money 00:51:16
that we receive from it. 00:51:22
That was just a question. Well, no, it's a, it's an important question because it's something that we work through on the on the 00:51:29
agreement. 00:51:33
And, and we, we had to use the words we're partnering and contracting with the county, but, but in essence, well, we'll be one 00:51:36
doing the billing that we're not we're not paying or doing anything unless it's signed off by the county and to their to your 00:51:42
standards, your staff standards. 00:51:48
Thank you very much. Thank you for the partnership and thank you. We're all excited about getting this completed as soon as 00:51:55
possible. 00:51:58
OK. Yeah. Thank you so much. And I think we have other members of of the Globe community here as well. So thank you for coming. 00:52:03
Appreciate that. And so with that, I will call for a motion. 00:52:07
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve a funding agreement with Resolution Copper Mining LLC as presented. I'll second it 00:52:13
motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, Marin. Thank you. 00:52:20
Item 3L Information, Discussion Action to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Globe for the operation and 00:52:29
management of the Co located Globe Regional Justice Court and City Magistrate Court for the period beginning on January 1st, 2025 00:52:35
through December 31st, 2026. Good morning again, Joe. 00:52:42
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 00:52:49
Earlier this year, I was tasked with developing a new IGA with the City of Globe for the operation of the Globe Regional Justice 00:52:54
Court and the Co location of the City Magistrate Court. The there was an existing intergovernmental agreement that expired and Mr. 00:53:02
Bochy up asked me to to head the project to. 00:53:10
Develop a new agreement with the city of Globe, which actually went very smoothly. 00:53:18
But there are some changes coming up in the City of Gold was very cooperative Mr. Jepsen was in in getting this thing done. And if 00:53:25
the board looks in your agenda packet, the agreement has already been executed by the Gulf City Council and signed by by the 00:53:31
mayor. 00:53:38
And as importantly, the the city attorney was instrumental in in getting this draft to resolution and make some changes in the way 00:53:46
that the two courts will operate. Historically, my whole lifetime, those courts have been Co located. But to begin the process we 00:53:53
use the. 00:54:00
The model intergovernmental agreement provided by the Arizona Supreme Court, the administrative office of the court is a guide and 00:54:08
it pretty much matches the intergovernmental agreement that is used by the town of Payson. The finance department through Marin 00:54:16
developed the the cost sharing portion of the intergovernmental agreement whereby. 00:54:24
The City of Gold will pay for some of the occupancy in the the current Justice Court. 00:54:33
Complex down on the 1st floor as well as pay for some of the staff salary on a proportional basis because it is the board may be 00:54:40
aware the Miami Magistrate is also collated located there. And so the as I indicated, the the city of Globe is already executed 00:54:48
the the agreement and the parties are ready to begin. 00:54:56
The operation under the new IGA effect of January 1st. 00:55:05
Again, I'd like to thank Marin and Mr. Jefferson for their cooperation in this process. 00:55:09
Thank you, Joe. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:55:16
No, I, I'm, I'm grateful that it went smooth. I very much appreciate the, the working ability that we've had in the city of Globe. 00:55:19
It's a, it's a great partnership on, on anything that we need to work on and I and it's greatly appreciated. 00:55:26
So Joe, thanks and Marin and Jesse and Paul, thank you guys for jumping in and helping getting it all done too. That's great. 00:55:35
And so. 00:55:42
Don't appreciate it. And is there someone from Globe that wishes to say something? Yes, please come up. 00:55:44
Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors, thank you very much. We're redesigning this, but we're kind of globe is growing and and we're 00:55:57
to a point taking over a little bit more control over how we handle. 00:56:02
Criminal traffic and and. 00:56:09
Criminal misdemeanors by bringing on our own prosecutorial staff. It's real important just as we get larger and have more activity 00:56:11
What what I wanted to say we we appreciate this almost models after the patient, but the Globe City Magistrate office will still 00:56:19
remain open and if you want to pay your your civil ticket or come for a code compliance. 00:56:27
Citizens will still come to the city of Globe, go to the window and have everything taken care of there. But what the major 00:56:37
changes? Judge Pillman is retiring, retiring in March. 00:56:41
And so we will be contracting for the for with the justice court and to do that, take care of those low level cases, the civil and 00:56:47
the criminal. And, but, but the, the big difference is our window at the City Hall will stay open and people will still be able to 00:56:54
just pull up, walk over and take care of those civil cases there. And that's the biggest change. So it's important that we keep 00:57:02
that window open. But yeah, I know working with Mary and your staff with James Menlo. 00:57:09
And Joe Alba, it's been been great. So just thank you very much for the cooperation partnership and thank you. That's it. 00:57:17
Thank you. Thank you for those comments. 00:57:27
With that, I'll call for motion on item 3L Mr. I move to approve the intergovernment agreement with the City of Globe is 00:57:31
presented. 00:57:34
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. 00:57:41
We have a motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye aye, thank you. And next items 3 M information discussion action 00:57:43
to prove the purchase of a property located at 1410 E Ash St. and Globe. The amount is 620,000 to be used for county staff and 00:57:51
services and where Michael. Good morning Chairman, members of the board. So over the past 20 years. 00:58:00
Past administration, county administration and Board of Supervisors have been interested in the property directly to the east of 00:58:08
here on this campus. 00:58:12
Church directly to the east of here to purchase to use for county services. And it recently we recently contacted the church and 00:58:17
they're agreeable to selling the county, the church for the appraised value at 620,000, which would finish up the ARPA funding. 00:58:25
That's where the funding would come from this and then with the county staff, we've come up with about four or five different 00:58:32
options. We haven't settled on what option if we were to. 00:58:40
Church what we would use it for, but we certainly could use the space for county services in multiple different ways. Or even one 00:58:47
of the options was possibly using it as a teen center down in the southern area. Here it could be used as a training Center for 00:58:56
staff moving in smaller departments. We certainly could use it for an IT and a facility's drop down area. 00:59:05
Since anytime we travel back and forth for services for IT facilities, we have to go all the way back to the other side of town 00:59:14
and back so we could certainly use it a portion of this. The total square footage of the building is about 7500 square feet. The 00:59:22
top and bottom are identical of 3700 square feet each plus some change. 00:59:29
It's an open spot, the 37 on the top level. The bottom level is split up into eight different offices. And it still has some items 00:59:37
in there that the church has, which would take several months to clear out before we could identify and finalize what county 00:59:43
administration would like to use the building for. And I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Michael. Supervisor 00:59:49
Humphrey. 00:59:55
Thank you, Sir. Thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:00:32
Michael, I agree with Supervisor Humphreys thoughts on it as far as ownership and and having it here on this complex. 01:00:38
We have buildings scattered out all over, so if we acquire this building, what's the chances of working that to where we can get 01:00:49
rid of one of our other buildings on on Apache Blvd. or something like that to to reduce the amount of footprint Helic County has 01:00:55
all over globe? 01:01:01
Mr. Chairman, so I decline. That is a really good question and it is something that we have discussed and have looked at of how we 01:01:12
can consolidate our services and this is one piece. Our former facilities director, Mr. Hickman said that what can in the 01:01:19
questions, what can we do with that parking lot and that property over there. The question is always if we had that the church, 01:01:25
then it would. 01:01:32
Make the opportunities that we have of using that with that space a whole lot better by by acquiring it. But that is an intent and 01:01:38
something that we will work on over the next few months of how it can consolidate and also address some of our older facilities we 01:01:47
have. We have a number of modular offices that we utilize that certainly don't hold up as well as. 01:01:55
Brick and mortar, and then also buildings that are. 01:02:04
Deteriorating quickly and acquiring one of those that you're talking about is in Central Heights building that has come back to us 01:02:09
with a need to replace a roof and H documents at a cost of $2,000,000. So consolidating all is, is an important discussion to have 01:02:16
going forward and we certainly will look forward to doing that. Yeah. So just so you all know, my, my two cents is, is before we 01:02:24
just sprawl out and put more people here or whatever. 01:02:31
That that is a big consideration is that we do work towards eliminating something and especially like the building I mentioned 01:02:39
because it isn't even our building, you know and so I I think it's a good purchase. I think it's it's it's a good purchase to have 01:02:47
right here. 7000 feet is a lot of area that'll that'll help and so we. 01:02:54
We're sprawled out in Hilah County. Enough. 01:03:03
I guess is my bottom line so. 01:03:06
Mr. Miss Chairman, sorry Kleiner, if I might add that this availability of Arbor money we sat down with we have to have the ARPA 01:03:09
money obligated by this December 31st when I boarded my office is a whole bunch of scribbling and scratching. But that was to 01:03:17
reconcile and make sure that we had all of that money committed and through our we had a, a, some a number of dollars committed to 01:03:24
micro, not microcoming, but digitizing our records. We've been able to come in actually. 01:03:32
Less than what that has freed up this $620,000 to have that availability to purchase this building through the COVID ARPA monies. 01:03:39
Yeah, I'm glad we're able to use our ARPA funds and wrap them up and be done with them. That's that's a good leg. That's a that's 01:03:46
a good move for the folks here in Healing County. It's just that we have a lot to take care of right now. So. 01:03:53
Mr. Chair. 01:04:01
Yeah. Thank you, Michael. I think it's a great opportunity. We should take it though, without our call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll 01:04:03
make the motion to approve. The purchase of the property located at 1410 E Ash St. in Globe is presented. 01:04:11
I'll second that motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:04:19
Item 3 and we're going to have information discussion action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of 01:04:27
grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security for the Gila County Active Shooter Operational Coordination 01:04:35
Project and approve the sub recipient agreement #24. 01:04:42
AZDOHSHS GP2 Four 0304-01 to accept the related grant award in the amount of $20,000 for the performance period of October 1st, 01:04:50
2024 to September 30th, 2025. Good morning Carl. 01:04:59
Morning Chairman, board members. So this I'm going to give a little description of how these grants work that will better 01:05:09
understand how this is going to benefit us moving forward. So with the Homeland Security grants, all of these have to be tied to 01:05:15
counter terrorism in a sense and then utilized for two years dedicated to training and then the property owners become the 01:05:21
property owners outright moving forward so. 01:05:27
This. 01:05:34
Grant was written to acquire. Originally we applied for $35,000 for 40 vests, ballistic vests for firefighters, EMTs to assist 01:05:35
with active shooter response and active shooter training. In the world we live in today, this is a very real possibility and a 01:05:44
very real danger. So this would allow the protection of those first responders that would possibly be going into those situations. 01:05:53
We were approved for $20,000 for 25 vests and actually we will be getting an additional award for the additional 15,000 to 01:06:04
purchase all 40 that should be coming in the next month or so from reallocation funds. So this these vests will be purchased and 01:06:11
in coordination with the Fiery County Fire Chief's Association, distributed to the fire district so that they have them available 01:06:18
for those types of calls. 01:06:25
Of that, any questions? Thank you, Carl. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions, Carl. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:06:34
Carl, we have first responders actually step into those situations because whenever I see them on TV like the one just the other 01:06:41
day, you know you have plenty of cops which you you expect to see, but first responders don't step into those until it's actually 01:06:49
cleared. Am I correct or am I wrong depending on the situation? Supervisor in my past career was an easy post certified police 01:06:56
officer with the city of Globe and it is typically common practice to not send EMTs and fire personnel in until a scene. 01:07:04
Secured. But in events like active shooter, it's kind of hard to determine what is that safe area. So oftentimes they'll set a 01:07:11
staging area outside of the facility, which is definitely not safe, but a little further out of harm's way. But if you have, you 01:07:18
know, an officer or someone that is down and they're not able to extract them, EMEMS and fire will move into a closer location 01:07:24
where this would be very beneficial. 01:07:30
Protection measure to have. I think it'd be more beneficial if we gave them each a gun instead of a vest. Unfortunately I can't 01:07:37
help with that one, but I can help with this. 01:07:41
All right, Carl, Thank you. Of course. Yeah. Thank you, Carl. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. I move to ratify the Board 01:07:46
of Supervisors approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, AZDOHS, for the 01:07:55
Healer County Active Shooter Operational Coordination Project and approve AZDOHS. 01:08:04
Sub recipient agreement #24-A ZDOHSHS. DP-2, four, 0304-01. 01:08:13
As presented. 01:08:25
Mr. Chair, I'll second that We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, thank you, aye, aye. 01:08:27
Member voting aye. 01:08:37
30, Thank you, Carl. You've got to trim some of these numbers. 01:08:38
Information Discussion. Action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the stability of a grant application to the Arizona 01:08:47
Department of Homeland Security for the County Emergency Operations Center Mobile Capacities project and approve a sub recipient 01:08:54
agreement 24-AZ0HS-H S E-2 four 0304-2 to accept the related grant. 01:09:02
Award in the amount of $5100.00 for the performance period October 124 to September 3025. 01:09:11
Thank you, Chairman. So this application was for some equipment for our emergency operations center. Some of you have witnessed in 01:09:20
the past year we have become a little bit more remote with our operations. Our EOC actually runs hybrid now where we still have 01:09:27
our in person meetings and and make decisions together in person. But for our twice daily briefings, we'll do those virtually and 01:09:34
then community meetings will often be in person with a virtual option. 01:09:41
This grant was applied for to get the equipment to better do that. So this will be a video camera PA system. 01:09:49
A monitor, some microphones and some lighting. This can also be utilized for public awareness campaign videos and then in a pinch, 01:09:58
public meetings where we may not have power or the facilities to do a public meeting. So this equipment, though it's a smaller 01:10:05
price tag, actually has quite a few uses and will come in handy for us moving forward. 01:10:12
Thanks, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, Carl, thank you for always working forward to help us with issues that may arise in the future 01:10:21
and to have equipment and readiness for it. So thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So Carl, will this pretty much 01:10:28
round out your mobile dinner? 01:10:36
It will help. We're always on the on the lookout for whatever we can get to be better capable, especially if that money is coming 01:10:44
from somewhere else. So this will I mean greatly expand our capabilities. This is pretty much everything we need to run that 01:10:52
mobile EOC fully and then also to stand up in a pinch those public meetings or anything like that, so. 01:11:00
Yeah, this, this is a huge step forward. Never stay completely round off because I'm always going to be looking for forward 01:11:09
movement and growth. 01:11:12
Thanks, Carl. Thank you, Carl. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of Supervisors 01:11:17
approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that I don't 01:11:24
have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 01:11:30
Thank you. Everything OK over there, Sam? 01:11:40
OK. All right. With that we have the motion was approved. 01:11:44
Item 3P Mr. Chair, yes, Sir, I left out part of that motion. Yeah, it goes over on the second page louder. OK, so we will let me 01:11:50
redo that, all of that and start with the motion again on Item 3. O Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of 01:11:59
Supervisors approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security. 01:12:08
AZDOHS for the HeLa County emergency operations. 01:12:19
Center Mobile Capabilities project and approve AZDOHS sub recipient agreement #24-A ZDOHS Dash HSGP Dash 240304, Dash 02 as 01:12:22
presented. We definitely need to turn some stuff off. 01:12:34
I'll second that one as well. OK, so we have a motion and a second to approve item 3 O all those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank 01:12:46
you Carl. Item 3P is information. 01:12:52
Discussion action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of an Emergency Management performance grant 01:12:58
application and accept FFY 2024-2025 Emergency Management performance grant award #EMF2024 EP 05013 from the Arizona Department of 01:13:08
emergency and military affairs division of an Emergency Management in the amount of 265,000. 01:13:18
$40.60 for the performance period of July 2024 to June July 1, 2024 to June 31, 2025. 01:13:28
Thank you, Chairman. Members of the board, although I have not had any luck eating the award numbers to get any smaller, the award 01:13:42
amounts have gotten slightly larger, which is moving the right direction. I hope. So this is for our Emergency Management 01:13:48
Performance Grant, which is the grant that funds our day-to-day operations and response and everything like that, so. 01:13:54
The award this year is for the 265,000 and change. This will fund all of our operations, our staffing, equipment and everything 01:14:02
moving forward until. 01:14:07

Of Emergency Management as presented. I'll second time, Mr. Chair, thank you. Motion to approve and seconded. All those in favor 01:14:56
say aye, aye. Thank you, Carl, I appreciate it. Item 3. Q Information, discussion action Adopt resolution #24-12-03 for the 01:15:06
installation of regulatory signage at the intersection of Hunkin Center Rd. and Escondido Rd. in Toner Basin. 01:15:15
In Gila County, we have Alex. Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Board of Supervisors, as you know, under state statute, any 01:15:25
regulatory sign needs to be reviewed by the county engineer and then brought to the supervisors for approval. There was a request 01:15:31
to review the intersection of. 01:15:37
Pumpkin Center Rd. at Escondido after a review and in compliance with the UTCD standards, it was determined that a yield sign is 01:15:43
the best signage for that intersection. Are there any questions? Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions other 01:15:51
than thank you because at my public meetings I've had people concerned about that intersection and why we weren't putting a sign 01:15:58
up and they were shocked to find out that we have to have all of our signage engineered that be patient. 01:16:06
We're getting to it. So thank you very much for getting that off your table and in process so that at my next meeting I can tell 01:16:13
them how efficient you are in in getting things done. So I appreciate it. Thank you. Great. Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thanks, 01:16:21
Alex. Yeah, me too. I'll call for motion. I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-12-03. 01:16:29
2nd that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye, aye aye. 01:16:39
Thank you, Alex. We have three our information discussion action to approve amendment #1 the contract number 072124 with Native 01:16:44
Environmental LLC which increases the contract amount by $60,000 for total contract amount of $120,000 for the term of October 01:16:52
15th, 24, two and 30th, 2025. Alex. 01:17:00
Thank you, Mr. Chair and the core supervisors. As you know, we are working on the what we're calling the Campaign 3 buyout and 01:17:09
clean up. 01:17:13
We brought before you a contract with Native Environmental based on their. 01:17:17
Of quotes and we estimated based on that a cost which. 01:17:23
Got from the last time we did an asbestos survey and cleanup, which was in 2019. And so we grossly underestimated what the cost 01:17:28
would actually be. And so after they got back to us with the survey costing, we determined that it was going to be an additional 01:17:35
$60,000 to address the entirety of the survey and remediation of the asbestos. Now that being said, that still fell well within 01:17:41
the budget for the actual project as a whole. 01:17:48
So none of this money will come out of the county's pocket, but will instead be either out of the FEMA buyout money for the 01:17:55
original eight homes. 01:17:59
Or the earmarks money for the additional two homes that we added to the projects? 01:18:03
OK, Thank you Alex Supervisor which will take money away from the $3,000,000 that we were on hold with the state to do work on the 01:18:09
north side, correct. We keep shifting at that rock. But no, I I appreciate it as we go forward and how sweet it is able to have 01:18:16
that. So I think the state very much for it and and you being frugal with us as we go forward and costs end up being the way they 01:18:23
are, but it will make it a better project for. 01:18:31
Community, So thank you very much. 01:18:38
Supervisor Klein, Alex, I'm good. Thanks. I'm good too. I'll call for motion. 01:18:41
Mr. Chair, I move to approve amendment number one to contract number 072124 with A Native Environment LLC. 01:18:47
I'll second that, have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you very much. All right. Item 3S is 01:18:58
information discussion action to approve economic development agreement number as 101024 between Healer County and the Brownsville 01:19:04
Western Heritage incorporated in the amount of $5000 to support the educational efforts to save Western heritage for youth and 01:19:11
adults. 01:19:18

Where where things come from and how rough it is to get there. So I think it's a a great, a great deal and. 01:19:59
You know, my hats off to everybody that participates in that because it takes a lot of volunteers to do that. And so I'm, I'm, I'm 01:20:06
grateful for for being able to help such a program proceed so. 01:20:13
And I'm grateful for the help in helping sponsor it. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor Klein. No, I agree with everything 01:20:22
Tim said. And I really want to thank Bill and Lori Brown for for being a the big drivers of this. And they do an awesome job in 01:20:28
half for ever since we've been in office, I guess, huh? 01:20:35
So quite a while, maybe even a little bit before so maybe before just nothing. So they've done an awesome job and it's good to 01:20:42
support. 01:20:46
Thank you. Yes, Laurie, Bill. So they also have like a little museum now and they have some great stuff there. And this is this is 01:20:51
a nonprofit thing that they do to just keep Western heritage alive and teach our kids what it's all about to love the land and 01:20:58
care for it. So with that, I will call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement 01:21:06
number 10. 01:21:13
024 with Brownsville Western Heritage Incorporated as presented, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the 01:21:20
public. I'll second that motion of the second to approve those in favor say aye, aye aye. Item 3T is information Discussion Action 01:21:28
to approve Economic Development Agreement number 10082024 between Hula County and the Globe Miami Chamber of Commerce in the 01:21:35
amount of $10,000 to purchase a new LED Information Board. 01:21:42
Which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. Would he? 01:21:50
Thank you, Mr. Chair. So this came to us from the Chamber of Commerce here and Jesse and you are here to talk about it and let us 01:21:54
know more. Come on up and introduce yourselves. 01:22:00
Good morning, chairman and supervisors. I'm Angel Freeze from the Globe Miami Regional Chamber of Commerce, and I'm the Director. 01:22:08
So basically, we're here to. 01:22:17
The chamber is not only the visitor center, we're also, I mean, I don't, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm nervous. We're not only help 01:22:21
small businesses, we're also the visitor center. So we get tourism all day long. So with that, Jesse, hi. Good morning, chairman. 01:22:31
Good morning. We were asking for $10,000 today to help us get that last leg. He bought the sign, the signs here. 01:22:41
And now we just need, we need that last leg. We're looking at about $20,000 shortfall, still yet to get that sign up, but the 01:22:51
Chamber is ready to put in that extra funding to get us there. So with you, if today we were approved at $10,000, we would then 01:22:58
just get the $10,000 left and the Chamber's ready to put that money in and get this sign up. That sign has been out for three 01:23:04
years. It's a revenue stream for the Chamber that we've been out without for three years. 01:23:11
Our idea behind that is it is on the main frontage there on the 60, it's what? 01:23:18
People look to all the time. It's something that we can offer our members. It's something we can offer the the county here to put 01:23:23
up for Discovery County, or. 01:23:27
Information such as Emergency Management planning fires or floods, where, where to go, where the safe place is, you can wipe that 01:23:33
board. It is, it is Wi-Fi enabled and with MQ APC. So we can, we can allow people, somebody such as Angel director or Emergency 01:23:40
Management to have access to that via Wi-Fi or via PC there at the at the chamber itself. So with that being said, I'll open up to 01:23:47
any questions that you might have for us. 01:23:53
Well, thank you so much for that, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:24:01
I have no questions other than thanks for the effort and for the ask. You know, like I say, I, I love all the partnerships that 01:24:04
that we have in our community. If there's a need, it seems like everybody's willing to work together to get it done. And so thank 01:24:11
you very much for your efforts. One thing too is that this 10,000 will be split between the three of us again as well. And so, so 01:24:19
that that shows a good partnership, good faith. 01:24:26
If I could have, if you want to just let you know that Freeport has committed 13,000, Capstone has come in 10,000 and resolution 01:24:34
proper as well for attendance. And so we have great partnerships throughout throughout the community and the surrounding areas. 01:24:41
Very good. All right. Well, if there's nothing else, thank you for what you do and I'll call promotion. 01:24:49
I move to approve Economic Development Agreement number 10082024 with the Globe Miami Chamber of Commerce, as presented, which the 01:24:58
Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. And I will second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say 01:25:04
aye. 01:25:09
Yeah, very much. Thank you so much. Thank you guys very much. Happy holidays. 01:25:18
Merry Christmas. 01:25:23
All right, moving on to item 3V. 01:25:25
We're going to end up with a whole alphabet almost today. Read the information discussion, action to accept the settlement 01:25:28
agreement and release of liability from David and Wendy Hatch. I think he skipped a few. Mr. Chair, we're on you. 01:25:35
Please pardon. It's OK, I that's why I got to check stuff off. 01:25:43
Almost a perfect meeting. 01:25:51
UH3U I'm sorry for the skip there information discussion action to prove economic development agreement number 10272024 between 01:25:54
Hugh County and Hayden Winkleman Unified School District 41 in the amount of $1000 to support the Hayden Winkelman USD, which the 01:26:02
board has determined be for the benefit of the public just decline. So this is mine again and this I've supported them now for a 01:26:09
few years and this goes to the kids and it. 01:26:16
Uniforms and helps provide transportation and what they need throughout the year to compete in in their bowl games. So I've I look 01:26:24
forward to keep doing it and it goes to a good cause. Any questions, I'll take them. I have no questions. Neither do I. So I'll 01:26:31
call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve economic development Agreement number 10272024 with the Hayden and 01:26:39
Winkelman Unified School District #41. 01:26:46
Which the board has determined to be for the band for the public. I'll second that Mr. Chair a motion and a second to approve 01:26:54
those in favor say aye. Item 3 the now information discussion action to accept the settlement agreement release of liability from 01:27:02
David and Wendy hatch principles of Pleasant Valley refuse for the damages sustained to the see these barracks building at the 01:27:09
Pleasant Valley veterans retreat in young. 01:27:16
Good morning again, Joe. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Members of the Board earlier this year. 01:27:25
The Hatches who are the principles of Pleasant Valley Refuge refuse in the Pleasant Valley area. We're doing some work on the 01:27:33
Veterans Retreat Center and did some minor damage to one of the the buildings there. The total amount is the $634.03. They agreed 01:27:41
after the Mr. Dickerson arranged to have that. 01:27:50
That damage surveyed and and the cost established. 01:27:59
To pay the amount of $634.03 and have since done so when approached by. 01:28:03
By Mr. Dickerson about this I drafted a simple one page settlement agreement with them in exchange for their paying that amount to 01:28:11
the Tehila County and this this agreement will will then is brought to the board for final adoption of the board and signing by 01:28:18
the chairman and that will complete the transaction with with them. But they were very cooperative, acknowledged their 01:28:25
responsibility here. 01:28:32
It was a minor amount and so. 01:28:39
A1 page settlement agreement concluded it. 01:28:42
OK, very good. So Supervisor Humphrey? 01:28:45
Yeah, I have no questions. I just appreciate, you know, the way things worked out and. 01:28:51
And I was going to ask, was there was that any of that in kind? I mean they were doing repairs, did they repair the damage or was 01:28:58
it estimated by somebody else? And it probably doesn't matter as long as it's settled, I guess, but. 01:29:05
Did we do the return or did the hatchet? 01:29:15
Chairman, Board of Supervisors. The repair hasn't been completed yet, so once this is settled, then we have a contractor. 01:29:19
Oh, OK. 01:29:26
Great surprise. 01:29:29
Dave and Windy are are very good people and this was a total, total mistake. He just backed a little bit for the trash truck into 01:29:34
the corner of the brakes, put in a cut in the siding about that long. 01:29:40
Pretty much a sheet of siding and some paint would have taken care of it. You know, I just sometimes I'm amazed at the hoops and 01:29:48
the processes that we go through to, to do something. I mean, we've got more time and money into this project and it would have 01:29:54
taken to fix the corner of that building. I mean, it didn't knock anything out. It didn't pull any wood out of the side or 01:30:00
anything. And I'm glad it's settled. 01:30:06
I'm I'm seriously glad it's settled, but it never ceases to amaze me. 01:30:13
The hoops, the length of time that we spend doing some of this stuff when a simple fix is all that's in order. But but thank you, 01:30:18
Joe for getting that one page deal done. I appreciate that. I know it could have been much lengthier, but. 01:30:25
But there's days I really shake my head and this is this has been one of one of them. So thank you. Thank you all that helped get 01:30:34
it. 01:30:37
Chairman and members of board. Mr. Collins. 01:30:42
It may have been helped if the county had a policy that dealt with. 01:30:45
The small amount damages to heal a county property, see somebody backs into a sign that bends the pole and that sort of thing. But 01:30:52
that can be dealt with administratively if they're willing to pay the seven or $800 that it takes to correct it on the spot and 01:31:00
delegate that that authority somewhere so that these matters don't take up board time and get resolved as quickly as possible. 01:31:07
That we need to have that kind of guidance from the board going forward. Good. That's something maybe in the future we can work on 01:31:16
Joe and sure, shorten some things up and. 01:31:21
Yeah. I think I'll take that on. Thank you, Jill. Yes, Joe. So yes, if you want to present something to us later as a remnant, 01:31:26
that would be that would be a great thing. With that, I will call for motion. 01:31:34
Mr. Chairman, to accept a settlement agreement and release the liability from David and Wendy Hatch, principles of Pleasant Valley 01:31:42
refuge as presented. And I'll second that a motion to 2nd to approve those in favor say aye, aye. I have. The next two items are 01:31:52
are appointment items that are part of my recommendation. So I don't number W3WS information discussion action to appoint. 01:32:01
Miranda to the Hilo County Board of Adjustments for term of office ending on December 31st, 2027. Samantha. 01:32:12
Thank you Chairman and board members. So Mary Lou Myers has served on the Hewlett County Board of Adjustment for 12 years and nine 01:32:20
months for District 1. She has recently resigned. Her service to Hewlett County is very much appreciated. Appreciated. Due to Miss 01:32:26
Myers resignation, there's a vacancy on the board and Supervisor Christensen recommends that the Board of Supervisors appoint 01:32:32
lawyer Miranda to the Hewitt County Board of Adjustment through December 31st, 2027. 01:32:38
Supervisor Humphrey, I have no question. Supervisor Klein? No, I'm good. Mr. Chair. She's a valued member of the community of 01:32:46
Pine. Been there for a couple generations. So anyway, it should be a good addition without alcohol. For motion, I'll make the 01:32:52
motion to appoint Laura Miranda to the Healer County Board of Adjustment as presented. I'll 2nd that I have a motion to 2nd to 01:32:58
approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:33:05
Item 3X Information Discussion Action to appoint a reappoint the following members of the Heliconic Planning and Zoning Commission 01:33:11
for the terms beginning January 1st, 2025 to December 31st, 2028. A point of Laura Miranda and reappointment of Miranda. 01:33:20
Meyer, Samantha, Thank you again. So the Planning and Zoning Commission is comprised of nine members. 01:33:30
Mary Lou Myers has also served on this board for 12 years and nine months effective December 31st, 2024. She does not wish to 01:33:36
serve another term on this board. Again, her service has been most appreciated. Supervisor Christensen has asked Miss Laura 01:33:42
Miranda to serve on this board and she has agreed. Miss Miranda's term of office will expire on so this is a separate. This is the 01:33:48
reappointment. 01:33:54
Of Miranda Meyer, so her term will expire on December 31st, 2024, and she has expressed a desire to continue serving on this 01:34:01
board. 01:34:05
And Supervisor Christensen would like her to continue serving. 01:34:09
Thank you, Samantha. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:34:12
Question. I'm fine. I'm good. OK. And just let everyone know Miranda Meyer here is the was with us earlier in the meeting as the 01:34:16
chamber. 01:34:21
The real country. 01:34:27
A Chamber of Commerce director. OK, so she's doing a great job there. So with that, I'll call for motion Mr. I move to a point 01:34:30
Laura Miranda and reappoint Miranda Meyer to the healer. County Planning and Zoning Commission is presented and I'll 2nd that I 01:34:38
have a motion to 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. It's quite astonishing that we have two Mirandas there. 01:34:46
Anyway. 01:34:54
Ah, item 4 is our consent agenda item. We have item A through G to provider Humphrey, is there anyone or more of those items you 01:34:56
would like to discuss separately? I'm fine, Thank you. OK, thank you. And Supervisor Klein, same question. I I'm good looking for 01:35:04

I'll second it. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. Moving on now, Item 5. 01:35:21
This is a call to the public and we will make a call to the public and the public will be able to come and speak. We like to limit 01:35:31
the comments to three minutes and we, the board, will not be able to take any actions with regard to the comments made. So I will 01:35:39
call to the public in Payson. Is there anyone there? 01:35:47
How about you, Cassandra? How many people do we have today? 01:35:57
60 well is that a new record anyway that's really great and also hearing globe I do have that wishes to speak this morning and her 01:36:01
name is Jolene Hunt Casillas and if she would please come forward and. 01:36:10
Tell us what's on your mind, ma'am. 01:36:23
Okay. 01:36:37
Hello, Chairman. 01:36:40
And board members, my name is Jolene Hunt Cassius. I reside at 6056 Copper Canyon Drive here in Globe in Copper Hills. 01:36:43
Thank you for hearing our concern today. It is in regards to a notice of trespass letter that we received. 01:36:52
I'm here today in hopes to just have clarification and a pathway to resolve this situation. This trespass letter we have received 01:37:00
from the Healer County Facilities and Land Management Department. 01:37:07
Myself, along with my fiance Clayton Westbrook, she's also here, have both received a certified letter on November 25th. 01:37:14
From a Miss Bianca Airline, the event coordinator for Gila County. These letters are a notice of trespass which will be enforced 01:37:24
for two years. This letter does not have any Healy County marking seal. 01:37:32
Letterhead or a wet signature. 01:37:41
I do have copies if you guys would. 01:37:44
To have one. 01:37:47
There is not any information in this letter given as to what law we may have broken, policy was violated, or any misconduct that 01:37:49
we may have committed or any way to appeal this issue. Board, Clayton and I have not broken any laws or violated any rules that 01:37:57
warrant being trespassed from the Hewlett Conference. 01:38:05
The only possibility we could think think of is. 01:38:15
An issue that occurred during the Gila County Fair at the RV park, and I'll give you just a quick rundown. I can provide further 01:38:20
information afterwards as needed, but due to the time limit, I'm gonna make it quick. Yeah, please. Just if you exceed 3 minutes. 01:38:30
I'm giving. Well I was gonna give the Cliff notes version. 01:38:41
Did you say I can go past the three minutes? Yes, but not excessively. OK, so I prepared for three minutes. I was trying to make 01:38:47
it. I understand, but I need to have the whole story. So yeah, please. Thank you for that. So what I have prepared is that during 01:38:53
the fair week, there was a huge breakdown in communication between Miss Arlen and ourselves. The result was we are asked to remove 01:39:00
our camper from the fairgrounds and leave. 01:39:07
We complied with this request. We were able to come and go but not can, Deputy Gomez stated on behalf of Bianca Erlin. The 01:39:14
eviction was for non payment even though she had to open up the lock box and return our money to us to take us out because we did 01:39:22
pay. 01:39:29
Umm, we didn't want to cause any further scene and our kids still had the whole fair to. 01:39:37
To show their animals, yeah, they had a lot of participation in for the rest of the week, so we didn't want to cause any trouble. 01:39:47
So we did as we were asked and we left. 01:39:50
But that if that is the reason, it definitely doesn't constitute trespassing. 01:39:55
So now if this trespass stands, there are serious life events that will be missed out on #1 Clayton and I will no longer be able 01:40:04
to help with 4H as we are both certified leaders. 01:40:11
In good standings with the cooperative ext #2 my girls will no longer be able to participate in any 4H or fair activities. They 01:40:19
are 7 and 14. 01:40:26
And four H and raising livestock isn't just an activity, it's a lifestyle that they dedicate all year long. 01:40:34
Umm, they have already missed out on a 4H volunteer opportunity because it was held at the fairgrounds 2 weekends ago. 01:40:41
#3 you know, if there are functions like the Friends of the NRA, who I am a volunteer for, or the Cattle Growers Association or a 01:40:51
funeral that's coming up next month, we won't be able to attend. 01:40:57
And #4 and mostly important to us is destiny. Charter school holds, holds their 8th grade graduation there. And that means 01:41:05
Clayton's daughter will be graduating 8th grade. And he wants, he wants to attend. 01:41:12
And so before my conclusion, since I have a couple more seconds, we did during the fair fiasco, we did try to reach out to Miss 01:41:21
airline to try to come to some kind of. 01:41:28
You know, smooth it out to see what we could do to get this situation resolved. And she wouldn't. 01:41:35
Talk to us. She sent the deputies out instead, and the deputy reached out to Mr. Dickinson. 01:41:42
Because that is. 01:41:52
Miss Arlen supervisor and he said that he stood behind Sarah decision. 01:41:54
So we did try to work it out and with no. 01:42:01
With no conclusion. And with that? 01:42:07
After the fair, we thought everything was OK until we received this letter. There's been no communication between the county Land 01:42:10
Management department and us. 01:42:15
For any kind of. 01:42:21
Trying to come to an agreement but so in conclusion board, I'm unsure as to what your next step can be. I don't know how these 01:42:24
things are really man, but we would like to see this notice of trespass be terminated. 01:42:31
As residents of Hewlett County, we should be able to enjoy all of the wonderful activities that are held at the Healer County 01:42:38
Fairgrounds and at the very least given some sort of appeals process so we can consult with council to assist with this issue 01:42:45
moving forward to find some kind of remedy. 01:42:51
OK. Thank you. Miss Hunt, I can't comment, but you said you had copies. I mean, I have a copy of that letter, please. 01:43:00
Thank you very much. 01:43:13
Yes, thank you, Supervisor Humphrey, any, any comments you'd like to make? 01:43:15
Well, not, not no. We can't take action, Sir, but you can certainly speak with staff or anything if you'd like to. Yeah. That's 01:43:21
why I asked for a copy of the letter, so that I can read the letter and intelligently speak with staff in the future. In the near 01:43:27
future. OK. Supervisor Klein. 01:43:33
So. 01:43:42
I don't need to speak to staff, I need to speak to James. 01:43:45
This is where I think things need to go to get, you know, figured out and and finalized and taken care of and so. 01:43:49
I I know we can't comment on on any of this and whatnot, but. 01:44:00
Violations of trespassing is a serious deal. 01:44:07
And I look forward to having some a meeting with you on it. 01:44:10
Thank you, supervisor. Thank you, Miss Hunt for your presentation. And we can't take any action or anything, but this is new to 01:44:19
me. This is the first time I've heard it. I, I don't know the, all the details or anything else. And so I'm, I'm interested in 01:44:28
knowing what happened and why and if there is a remedy that the board needs to step in and do. James, did you have some comments? 01:44:36
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, we will have a facilities prepare for report that we can submit to each of you so that we can 01:44:46
have a more full understanding of what occurred. 01:44:51
And can we get that by say, January 7th or so? OK. 01:44:56
All right. Thank you very much. That's that's our next meeting, January 7th. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Is anyone 01:45:01
else in the Globe office here courthouse that wishes to have a call to the public? 01:45:08
No, All right. And so at this time, I have a, I have a. Go ahead, Sir. 01:45:16
James, you said that you would have. 01:45:23
Of facilities prepare something for, is that will that be to the board individually or will that be before the board at a public 01:45:26
meeting in the future? 01:45:31
Mr. Chairman, I would like to and Supervisor Humphrey like to have a report that we can, that we can have that discussion with 01:45:38
you, that facilities can put that together, that individually we can have it close to the details, answering questions if we need 01:45:46
to have a a discussion in a public meeting and then we can schedule that at a later date, OK. Because it was kind of misleading to 01:45:53
me that they would be some kind of deal on the 7th. And so our meeting is on the 7th, but apparently. 01:46:00
We will get information from the county individually. You're welcome to call me. 01:46:08
Mr. Chairman, I believe that we established a deadline that will have a report to give to you and to be. 01:46:15
OK. 01:46:22
Thank you. Thank you, James. 01:46:28
If there's nothing else, item 6 is. 01:46:30
Our reports manager Manlove, please, Mr. Chairman of the board, just want to wish all of our employees and staff for Healer County 01:46:35
and do tremendous job and tremendous work and wish them the best of the holiday season and happy, happy and safe New Year. Thank 01:46:41
you to each of you for all you do and to the citizens of Hewlett County wish you a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Thank 01:46:48
you. Thank you Mr. Menlova. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:46:54
And then at a small counties forum, attended the LEPC Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting. 01:47:02
Held a Tunnel Basin community meeting on the third. Held a Garcila community meeting on the 7th. Held a Roosevelt community 01:47:09
meeting on the ninth. Was on KQSS also on the 9th at 5:30. 01:47:17
And so anyway, other than that, I would just like to wish everybody a a very safe and happy holiday and thanks staff for an A-Z 01:47:26
and an executive session today. 01:47:34
Supervisor Klein, thank you. So I attended the Arizona New Mexico Coalition of Counties meeting last week in Albuquerque on the 01:47:43
chair on that board and it was held there with the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association. Is really good to meet some of those 01:47:49
people and, and, and have a good visit. 01:47:56
Another important, important thing that's happening this week is our PVVR bill is being pushed on pretty hard. This is the last 01:48:04
week that we have to get it through. If it doesn't go through by Friday, it's not going to make it. It'll be starting over. So 01:48:12
they're working really hard on it, trying to get that pushed through. So hopefully here by the end of the week. 01:48:19
We'll hear if it if it makes it or not. 01:48:29
And keep our fingers crossed and hopefully we'll not start over again. So that's it. OK, Thank you supervisor. I also want to wish 01:48:33
everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Be safe and have good family time together. We have been removing some RV's off 01:48:41
of the forest in the northern part of Yulick County. 01:48:49
Cole Levante, the the sheriff deputy. 01:48:58
Has reported that they're in the process of also exploring several others. 01:49:03
They're in the area, so that is happening. That was a recent thing that we just did and it's already working and involved. 01:49:08
Supervisor Humphrey and I, along with James and Rick and a few others attended this ESA small county dinner this last week and it 01:49:17
was marvelous. Really good, excellent food. Please thank Sherry. I mean, if the food was unbelievably good and. 01:49:27
The Horton, we do have a Horton fire. It's up to 390 acres, Carl reports this morning. No structures threatened. I'm sure they're 01:49:38
just going to use it as a management fire like they normally do. It's a little unusual to have one in December, but it has been 01:49:44
pretty pleasant weather. He also reports that we're working toward getting all of our emergency water sites transformed into the 01:49:50
new. 01:49:57
Six sites are already done. We have a total of 14 to do. 01:50:04
Some of the discussion that was at the CSA was stuff that we have talked about, like insurance looks like the legislature is going 01:50:09
to be addressing. 01:50:14
Insurance in our threat areas, which is almost every area you think about it when it comes to fire and the issues there with 01:50:22
cancellations and that blight was another thing that was brought up. Groundwater regulations always a concern. 01:50:30
And so I do plan on attending the January 15th meeting, which is a meet and greet at CSA with legislators. Well, that's that's my 01:50:40
plan. So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and. 01:50:47
We're going to move on now to our executive session item which is 7 A information discussion action devote to go into executive 01:50:56
session pursuant to Arizona Revised statutes for discussion or consideration of a renewal of a four year employment contract 01:51:06
between Gila County and Mr. W James Miller for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31st, 2028. I'll call for motion so. 01:51:16
I'll second it motion and a second to approve to go into executive session. All those in favor say aye, aye, All right. 01:51:26
OK, thank you. So I would like to reconvene now here in the. 01:51:44
Chambers and we had a lot of discussion on a plan and so I will. 01:51:50
Well, for motion, Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion for staff to proceed as directed. I'll second that. OK, we have a motion and a 01:51:59

hearing officers decision is limited. 00:04:19
The county receives the decision of the hearing officer and shall uphold the decision of the hearing officer unless they're 00:04:24

identified that it is necessary to purchase this parcel for the purpose of public transportation. So I'm requesting to remove the 00:06:30

3C information, discussion action to adopt resolution number 241204 accepting Azure right, Dr. Vornight Lane, Malachite Lane and 00:07:51
Turquoise Drive into the Yula County maintained roadway system as county public roads. Good morning, O'Mara. Good morning. 00:07:59
Chairman and board members, good to be back and happy holidays. Thank you. 00:08:09
This item is being brought to you because when we first were working with Tri-City on the use of county public roads for their 00:08:15
sanitary district, we found they found out that the county actually didn't have ownership for these roads or an easement and they 00:08:24
wanted to see if we could get that. We've been maintaining these four roads Ash Right drive. 00:08:32
Overnight Lane, Malachite Lane and Pork W Drive For decades. We can go back as far as we want to and we see that we've been 00:08:40
maintaining these roads. This was a subdivision that was created. The roads were actually created before 1960. We actually see an 00:08:47
aerial map that shows us the roads. 00:08:54
And we, like I said earlier, we've been maintaining the roads, but now that we have purchased the roads just right now you 00:09:03
purchased that parcel. 00:09:06
Now we own the roads. We can officially add these to our list of maintained roads. Officially they are. Unofficially today we've 00:09:11
been maintaining them, so they are already on that list. We're not increasing the number of miles that that we maintain. This is 00:09:19
correcting a a record of ownership, the person that owned this property. 00:09:27
Passed away and as far as I can see 2012 at least. No, no taxes were paid on this on this parcel. 00:09:35
At least 2012, perhaps even before. 00:09:43
And we work, now that we've taken ownership, we would like to bring to the board this resolution #24 Dash 12/04 to accept the four 00:09:48
ropes, Ashrite Dr. Bornight Lane, Malachite Lane, and Torquay Drive into the Hila County Maintain Rotary system. And with that, 00:09:55
I'll answer your question. Thank you, Humira Supervisor. I have no questions tomorrow. I've been with you on that since it 00:10:03
started. I just want to say thank you and staff. 00:10:10
For the research that you did to enable us to be able to do this, to help go forward. And so I, I just want to say thank you very 00:10:18
much for helping this process get get taken care of. Thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Klein Homer, thanks, I explained 00:10:27
it very well. Thanks for that. So Romero, does this mean we will receive her funds or have we been receiving her funds from. 00:10:36
Pardon me, Her funds, yes, these roads should be maintained by her funds. We have been receiving her funds for decades. Again, we 00:10:46
have been maintaining the road there. There's not an issue that we receive funds and and didn't apply the funds correctly. We just 00:10:53
didn't have ownership for the road. That's the only issue. All right, great. Good to clear that up then. And with that, I will 00:11:00
call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-12-04. 00:11:07
I'll second it. 00:11:14
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank you. 00:11:16
Item 3D is information discussion action to approve each board members representation on various boards, committees and 00:11:23
organizations for the coming year 2025. Good morning James. 00:11:29
Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Members of the Board annually, members of the boards of supervisors, there are certain committees, 00:11:37
certain commissions and responsibilities organizations that we participated in with the county, as you can see the list on the 00:11:43
staff report of what is recommended. 00:11:49
We recommend that these be adopted and approved for. 00:11:56
Committee assignments for. 00:12:00
Calendar year 2025. 00:12:04
But this is all up for discussion for you as the board. 00:12:08
That's what assignments you have. And we have those lists. Thank you, James. Supervisor. Huh? I have. I have nothing to discuss. 00:12:12
OK, Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Yeah, we're all happy with our assignments. I am as well. So with that, we'll. I'll call for 00:12:17
motion. 00:12:23
I move to approve each board member's representation on various board committees and organizations for year 2025, and I'll second 00:12:30
that motion in the second to approve those in favor say aye aye. Thank you, James. Either 3E information discussion action to 00:12:38
accept the donation from the Freeport Mcmoran Community Foundation through the Community Grandstand Project. 00:12:46
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board probably won't come up. 00:12:55
Good morning. 00:13:02
Good to see you again. As a collaboration between Freeport Mcmoran Community Foundation and Healer County, the Community 00:13:03
Grandstands project will significantly increase the seating capacity for local events, enabling more inclusive and larger scale 00:13:09
cultural and recreational gatherings. By providing mobile ADA compliant seating, this initiative will enhance community 00:13:15
participation and cohesion. 00:13:22
While stimulating simultaneously boosting local economic economic activity through increased attendance at events and associated 00:13:29
spending. 00:13:33
This is 2 portable ADA compliant grandstands that can be moved throughout the county and there I don't comprehend it all but it's 00:13:38
old. You can go put them in place park them and push 1 button and they establish set themselves up. Open up to full grandstands 00:13:47
that have 88 ramps and and seating and be a total of just less than 400 seats that can be used. 00:13:57
And they will have a canopy on top as well. 00:14:07
Covered seating these right now out at the fairgrounds we have the second rodeo arena have no stands at all can be used there. 00:14:10
And we'd like to be able to use them for other events throughout the county and throughout the community. Freeport has their 00:14:20
community investment fund that they do annually and appropriate dollars for investments. And we, the county applied for this. 00:14:30
The idea is that report has approved a funding request of 125,965 which will pay for one of those grand standing. The county will 00:14:41
pay for the second one. 00:14:46
So it's 100% match between the two of us, but it would be a great opportunity for us to enhance recreational opportunities in the 00:14:53
county. 00:14:57
Would you like to make a comment? 00:15:03
That's OK. 00:15:06
Members on the board and staff just pleased to be here again. So you guys have to present this check on behalf of the Freeport 00:15:08
Macarons Foundation and also the Community Investment Committee, who, you know, serves on this committee for three years. And they 00:15:15
spent many hours going over grant applications and training for that. So they, you know, found this to be a really good 00:15:22
application and and you know, really like it. It's addressing. 00:15:29
An existing issue. 00:15:37
Familiar with the lack of feeding, sometimes it's really good, especially, you know, like globe graduation and then the 00:15:38
opportunities that, you know, created with this for the county and for the community at large. So with that check and we round it 00:15:45
up, can we do a philosophy as you come down here? Are we going to vote on accepting that we might? Yes. Why don't why don't we 00:15:52
vote and see if we want to accept it? OK, so I'll call for a motion then. 00:15:59
Oh, well, I'm sorry by the Humphrey. Do you have any questions? No, I do not. Supervisor Klein Robin, thank you that that's going 00:16:06
to be a big plus for the county and being portable like that and being able to use it in other places is really a cool deal. So 00:16:12
thank you and everyone is involved. 00:16:18
He's very special. Thank you. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to accept a donation from the 00:16:24
Freeport Mcmoran Community Foundation for the community Grandstand project. 00:16:30
Mr. Gerald, second that motion and a second to approve in favor say aye, aye, aye. 00:16:37
Thank you, thank you, thank you, James. Item 3F Information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of Request for 00:16:55
Proposal number 110424. 00:17:01
Bleachers Grandstand Project, Joseph. 00:17:08
Good morning, Jim. Good morning, Order Supervisors, Thank you for the opportunity to present this agenda item. It's a piggyback of 00:17:16
what we just got presented, so I won't go into too much depth. We'll be happy to answer any questions at the end. 00:17:22
This project is an important step to enhancing the Healer County Fairgrounds capacity to better serve our residents and visitors. 00:17:30
Gala County Fairgrounds plays a vital role in hosting community events that bring people together. From fairs and rodeos to 00:17:36
concerts and festivals. Better accommodate these gatherings. Your proposed acquiring 2 high capacity mobile grandstands, each 00:17:43
capable of seating at approximately 300 to 400 people. 00:17:49
These grandstands will meet ADA accessible accessibility standards. 00:17:56
That the residents and visitors of all abilities can enjoy events comfortably and safely. Additionally, we plan to procure a 00:18:00
mobile event stage. This stage will provide a flexible and reliable platform for concerts, theatrical performance, and public 00:18:06
presentations, enhancing the overall experience for performers and attendees while expanding the fairgrounds ability to host 00:18:12
variety of events. 00:18:18
With these improvements, the Hill County Fairgrounds will be able to see an additional 600 to 800 people. 00:18:25
A more accessible, inviting and enjoyable experience for all attendees. These additional conditions will make the fairgrounds a 00:18:31
more personal and sought after revenue venue for events of all kinds. We respectfully recommend that the Board of Supervisors 00:18:38
approve the advertisement of request for Proposal number 110424 Leechers Grandstand project, allowing us to take the next steps 00:18:46
forward enhancing our community facilities. With that, I'd be happy to take any questions. Thank you, Joseph. 00:18:53
I guess maintenance and storage. 00:19:01
Yes, Sir. So as far as the maintenance goes, it'll fall underneath the facilities maintenance program. We anticipate it not to be 00:19:05
a large impact. It'll be essentially just tighten up screws, preventative maintenance. 00:19:12
As far as the storage, we're still working on on that. 00:19:20
OK. Thank you. 00:19:24
Super by the climb. 00:19:26
And just so I'm clear, Joseph, with these being portable, they're going to be able to be used wherever in the county we need to. I 00:19:28
can not just the fairgrounds. That is correct. And to go off of a point that Mister Minlove made. 00:19:34
They're very intuitive and easy to set up. So it's not, you know, a bunch of training or specialized folks. Yeah, that's cool. 00:19:42
Thank you. 00:19:45
Yeah, I have no questions. That sounds like a great thing. Very mobile. We can use it north-south, east, West, wherever it's 00:19:51
needed. So, yes, Sir. All right, so this is a request for a proposal. I'll call for a motion. 00:19:57
Mr. Chair, I move to authorize the advertisement of request for Proposal number 110424. And Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a 00:20:04
motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, thank you, thank you, Joseph. Item 3G is information discussion 00:20:12
action to adopt Resolution 12241202, establishing a policy for the disposition of excess proceeds resulting from Arizona Revised 00:20:19
Statute 24. 00:20:26
18303 Paragraph C Sales of land held by the State under tax deed. Good morning, Joe. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the 00:20:34
Board. 00:20:39
Town 42 has several provisions dealing with. 00:20:46
With unpaid taxes were real property taxes aren't paid by the owner. And then there are. Depending on the nature of the property, 00:20:51
there are at least three mechanisms by which. 00:20:57
Taxes can be collected. 00:21:05
Resolution number 241202 deals with the narrow cases where property is actually needed to the state of Arizona under the state 00:21:08
under a tax deed and then the clerk of the Board of Supervisors schedules sales of those properties. The other mechanisms involve 00:21:18
pretty much the treasurer and in some cases the the Department of Revenue. This one is deals with the. 00:21:28
With the Board of Supervisors and the clerk of the board. 00:21:38
And after the sale is made. 00:21:42
And taxes are paid and distributed to the various tax entities and top of those taxes. On occasion there are excess proceeds 00:21:47
remaining and very often the treasurer's office is unable to determine where the owner is so that the that the excess proceeds can 00:21:55
return be returned to the property owner. I surveyed other counties. 00:22:04
And many of the smaller counties, like Gila, use what's called in this treatment process, whereby after a period of time, after 00:22:13
two years, if the property owner cannot be located either in Arizona or at the last known mailing address of the property owner, 00:22:21
then that property is transferred to the Arizona Department of Revenue under a process known as achievement. It basically goes 00:22:28
back to English common law, and then that property is held. 00:22:35
By the Department of Revenue available for the person to put the property owner. 00:22:43
Being properly identified to claim those excess proceeds and so this. 00:22:49
This resolution deals with that narrow subject matter and. 00:22:56
I first started working on this this past summer when Samantha was dealing with the. 00:23:03
With an issue that took some time to resolve but finally was and so the other counties use this mechanism successfully. And so 00:23:08
this board is being asked to consider adopting Resolution 24 Dash 1202 that deals with that limited set of of properties that are 00:23:15
needed to the state under tax fee. 00:23:22
Thank you, Joe. Supervisor Humphrey, no questions. Supervisor Klein Joe asked some questions and I've I've never really. 00:23:31
I have a hard time getting past the fact if you lose a piece of property because you don't pay taxes and it goes back to the state 00:23:40
and care of the county, you no longer have ownership of that property, correct? 00:23:45
You no longer have title to that property. That's ownership in my opinion. But but my biggest question is, is, is I don't see how. 00:23:52
We, as you know, as the caretakers of this property, we go through the efforts and the processes to sell this property back and 00:24:03
get it back on, on the county rolls. I mean that's our goal is to, to receive taxes off this property. I've never seen why we 00:24:09
would be. 00:24:15
Made to go back to the previous owners to give them any excess off of that property. To me it's it's like if you quit paying taxes 00:24:24
for a property and it's no longer yours, you don't have anything more to do with it. Well, I mean, basically the Arizona State law 00:24:32
in Title 42 requires that excess proceeds be returned to the property owner. That's very specifically required. 00:24:41
In in 4218303 C. 00:24:49
And, and the, the mechanism that's established in this resolution protects both the due process rights and the property interest 00:24:52
rights, constitutional rights both under both the federal and Arizona State constitutions to return to their property that they're 00:24:59
entitled to. 00:25:05
That's the way the legislature dealt with the matter. They could have dealt with it differently, but that's mechanism that that 00:25:12
we're probably going to follow. So, so this that you're proposing, so if you have money left over on this, this sale, you know, 00:25:19
you pay the back taxes there, say $1000 left, whatever it is. And it goes into this, this account basically that you're proposing 00:25:27
under this resolution, he'll sit there for two years and then if it's not claimed. 00:25:34
Comes back to the county or no? It sits in the treasurer's office for two years. Well, the treasurer attempts to locate the owner 00:25:42
and return the the excess. Proceeds to the property owner. In the event after two years, she the tracer is unable to return those 00:25:51
funds and the property is transferred by the achievement process to the Arizona Department of Revenue. 00:25:59
And the Department of Revenue holds that money and if the proper claim is made? 00:26:08
Then that person can receive their their money from the Department of Revenue. 00:26:14
And almost every state in the union has adopted a process like that. You can look now and you can check for yourself to see if you 00:26:20
own any property. If you have a small bank account in just kind of abandoned it 8 or 10 years ago and you had $40 in it, you still 00:26:28
have $40 in it after the statutory fees are collected. 00:26:36
From that, but that money belongs to the property owner and never to the state or the political subdivisions of the state. 00:26:45
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense to me, but I understand what you're saying, it just. 00:26:53
Common sense wise, it just tells me when you lose property you've lost it and but if that's the way we need to go and. 00:26:58
So I'm here if you have any questions as well. 00:27:09
Who's there? That's our treasurer. Oh, Monica. Yeah. And actually, Miss Wolford helped, helped out with that situation that I 00:27:14
would turn. I referred to one of your this summer, I think it was in July or August, when she returned those funds to the property 00:27:20
owner would make a proper claim. 00:27:26
Well, so I understand since statute and that's where the legislation is set it up. So I mean that that's over and above our heads 00:27:34
basically just. 00:27:38
It still doesn't make sense to me, but I understand what you're saying. 00:27:43
Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're very welcome. I'll just have to make a confession. I've never had enough money or accounts to have 00:27:48
lost track of them, so it it does seem like a strange thing. What you're asking for, though, is a policy change. 00:27:57
In our in the bonus supervisors actions, I guess, Mr. Chairman, actually it isn't a change. There hadn't been a process before and 00:28:08
it was unclear. So we're establishing yes, yes, Sir. 00:28:15
Very good. Is anyone paying taxes on the property? Once it becomes sold and this excess money goes into something is the sale of 00:28:23
that then that person is responsible for the taxes. 00:28:32
That arises under a different chapter in Psalm 42. And in fact there there can be several purchasers of tax deeds in those schemes 00:28:42
and it it gets pretty complicated, it can. 00:28:48
Yeah, as I said, when I begin there are. 00:28:55
At least three different mechanisms for dealing with unpaid taxes in each is distinct. 00:28:58
From the others. 00:29:06
Thank you, Joe. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-12-01. 00:29:08
I'll second that. 00:29:17
It should be 241202. 00:29:20
Correct. I've got 12/01. 12:01 is what I have asked. 00:29:24
It's 2. 00:29:31
And then we need to change it on the motion and the paperwork as well. Please reflect that. 00:29:34
OK, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #2412-O2. 00:29:42
I'll second that. Hey, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, Joe. 00:29:49
Item 3H Information discussion action to approve economic Development agreement number 12092024 between Gila County Rim Country 00:29:57
Regional Chamber of Commerce to support operations and advertising campaigns, which the Board is determined to be for the benefit 00:30:04
of the public. And we have Marin with us morning. And I noticed we have a couple members also in Pace. Yes, good morning, Mr. 00:30:11
Chair, up in Payson today. 00:30:18
We have folks from the room, country, regional Chamber of Commerce. 00:30:26
And they will be sharing a presentation with you about the success that the Rim Country Chamber has had and how he, the county's 00:30:29
economic development grant has supported that success. OK, thank you. 00:30:35
Good morning. 00:30:43
Good morning. 00:30:45
Thank you very much for your. 00:30:54
Support over the last year, especially last year, other country, regional Chamber of Commerce, that's where it's been critical to 00:30:59
our efforts to support local business and economic development and all agreements. 00:31:07
So sorry not to say thank you very much for your passport. First off, I'd like to direct the attention to the front page of around 00:31:15
it and I can't see it, but there was a really nice article in here. 00:31:22
About our fourth quarter event around the economic forecast for 2025. 00:31:31
We had an excellent expert speaker from Invesco from from. 00:31:38
New York, we have some Arizona local speakers as well talking about real estate and interest rates and everything that goes into 00:31:45
one of our businesses and individuals can expect. 00:31:52
For 2025. 00:32:01
And so we are very proud of that event and the impact that we have for those that attended and. 00:32:04
This last year in 2024, we decided to take a little bit of a different approach to what we were doing as far as our events, our 00:32:12
outpatient, how we supported membership and we felt like the person said there, was very successful. 00:32:23
And set this up for the future and instead of doing a monthly luncheon. 00:32:35
We went ahead and did 4 quarterly profit specific events, the first being centered around nonprofits. How's the Twitter 00:32:40
nonprofits? How do we get them to collaborate with each other? How do they get volunteers? Very funny. It's a very different topic 00:32:49
around nonprofits. 00:32:57
And critical feedback from from those over there to say how important question and how much they they got that economy we had 00:33:05
Jennifer Perry from Arizona. 00:33:10
Community Foundation she manages millions and millions of dollars that allocated. 00:33:16
They went to different nonprofits. 00:33:24
Throughout the state and so we're very close to her as well as some other experts that came second quarter with Senator Tourism 00:33:26
and we'll see if you really want to focus on how our businesses. 00:33:34
Can take advantage of the incoming tourist activity. We titled it not just weekend traffic, right? How can they take some? They 00:33:43
say, oh it's such a so many people in town. How do we take that attitude and change it and say wow, look at all of the 00:33:52
opportunities that's coming to town. 00:34:01
How do we take advantage of that? 00:34:11
So that was a great, great event. 00:34:13
And then our third quarter event is prosperity through education and we get a really nice workshop on how business and support 00:34:18
education and how education more importantly supports business. 00:34:26
We partnered with the Road Country Western Health Festival, excuse me, the rodeo community as well as as others. 00:34:36
And then, of course, like I mentioned earlier, our fourth quarter was our economic forecast. 00:34:48
Throughout all of that. 00:34:57
One of them, you know our mission as a chamber. 00:34:59
This is a little bit better and that's what it is. And the one way that we can we really try to do that is by Heart Marine with 00:35:03
other nonprofits partnering with other chamber and business to help that. So we have done entrepreneurs, we did a moon shot. 00:35:15
Partnered with them the the the growing great partnership with the rodeo committee. 00:35:29
We really started off roading a week. 00:35:35
Incredibly successful. 00:35:39
Mixer properly and all these things. So in as much as the chamber is really trying to. 00:35:42
Expand their influence and reach as far as economic development is concerned. We don't want to miss out on all of the other 00:35:52
networking opportunities for our businesses and we sprinkled in all of these events throughout the calendar. 00:36:00
Next. 00:36:09
Thing we have coming up January. 00:36:14
24th Excuse Me is our Community Awards and Awards and Hall of Fame. 00:36:18
So it's going to be an opportunity for us to recognize businesses, business leaders, citizens, nonprofits and other groups that 00:36:27
have had a real impact on our community as a whole. 00:36:35
Well, many, many, many years. 00:36:44
Those that have made a real country and what it is today and I've had instrumental influence and and creating our our amazing 00:36:48
community that we love. 00:36:53
So that's going to be a great event coming up for a January 25th. We actually have spent this morning doing a bunch of planning 00:37:00
and we're excited to get that off the ground. Yeah, so the just a little more on the award thing for the EPS and Foster DNS for us 00:37:09
and I'm very grateful for that. But what we're all going to be the first ever. 00:37:18
Business award for the Chamber here in our country is doing. 00:37:28
So we're also going to be start the Hall of Fame. So we're going to have a business Hall of Fame and hope to display the those. 00:37:32
Public Library Library as well as. 00:37:42
She realized how important those outstanding businesses are in addition to our new businesses that are growing. 00:37:47
With regards to 2025 activities, we've built a very strong template this year that we're going to apply next year. So more of 00:37:56
those quarterly events they were April is the first one and on January 25th, Saturday. So we'll start with that. We're going to do 00:38:03
the second non profit for us. 00:38:11
This year, so last year with collaboration, so we're going to be putting out a survey to see what our attendance last year that's 00:38:19
what ideas they have on the topic for this year. We've already got a handful of people is committed to coming to speak to 00:38:28
contribute to the event because it was so successful last year we had a third quarter event that will be profit. 00:38:36
Able topic will be related to what's going on in the third quarter and then again our economic update. 00:38:47
Feedback from our membership that they want for networking opportunities, so we're implementing that as well. We're going to do 00:38:54
some forming networking and afternoon networking and evening networking. So lots of opportunities as well as weekend activities. 00:39:04
And our main focus is for 2025 is going to be faster than these things. So we're really going to make sure that we're delivering. 00:39:13
As they're seated, we're going to be out. 00:39:24
Side by side more and that's really the goal and we can do that this year because we had such a strong, successful year in 2024. 00:39:27
Market increase in membership as well. You've reached our membership. Total membership. 00:39:39
Beginning of the year and so we're looking forward to. 00:39:47
Increasing goals for 2025 brand, our executive. I figured she's about that right? Football media, but. 00:39:52
The Chamber of Commerce in the end, we we really have a board that is excited about our local business. They're active and we 00:40:03
really want to have. 00:40:10
Xbox and be a resource for our local businesses here, which includes, you know, all over the country. We don't need an opportunity 00:40:19
to communicate with Colonel Mason Chamber. We're working on news and firing projects with them. Miranda has been part of discovery 00:40:27
in the county and we've heard with them on. 00:40:36
Many different things, as well as getting a chance to meet with the World Chamber. 00:40:45
We want to continue those partnerships and hope to grow those because the county as a whole only benefits from. 00:40:50
Our strong businesses that we have. 00:41:00
Especially as Stuart has released the tourism. 00:41:03
Education all of those, all of those things that are a primary focus source. And I just wanted to mention one of our strongest 00:41:07
partnerships and both successful partnerships is with Discover Newland County. I sit on the board directors, but we work very 00:41:15
closely as it relates to everything on their website promoting activities that relate to tourism and economic development. And so 00:41:22
their definitely we work and again good done which. 00:41:30
Hewitt County as a whole, and that was intentional. 00:41:37
So I mean, I guess I put it out there, any questions for us about what our plans are even that we're doing now? Anything you'd 00:41:44
like to see us do in the future? 00:41:49
Was that a question? 00:41:58
Yeah. Could you say that again, Andy? 00:42:01
I guess was asking if there was any questions that you might ask for. Okay, thank you, Andy. Thank you Miranda. Supervisor 00:42:05
Humphrey, I would just like to say, you know, thanks for all that you're doing to promote businesses and things in in Hayley 00:42:13
County and, and I'm glad to hear that you've got a great working relationship with Discover Healer County because when we started 00:42:20
working with that, a lot of people were saying, well, you're competing with the. 00:42:27
Commerce and it's like, well, no, we're not. We're trying to work with all the Chamber of Commerce to better the part of Hila 00:42:35
County. So I thank you very much for all you're doing and I and I'm glad that you know, to looking down the road and have seen 00:42:41
from where we started that it is working well with the other Chambers of Commerce to help through the county as a whole. So thank 00:42:47
you very much. Thank you, supervisor Supervisor Klein. 00:42:53
And, and as far as it's coming in the county is concerned. 00:43:01
We can't do it without. 00:43:08
You know that that relationship with them is great and in no way that. 00:43:10
We very much need them and, and and have appreciated what that partnership has been to our chamber. 00:43:17
Randy and Miranda, thank you for what you guys do and glad to be a help here and support you on it. So thanks. 00:43:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for the presentation and all the work that you do. It is very effective and vital, so. 00:43:35
We're done discussing it. I guess we'll I'll call for a motion. 00:43:48
Next year I move to approve the Economic Development Agreement number 12092024 with the Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, 00:43:51
which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that. I have a motion and a second to 00:43:59

Let's move on to item three. I information discussion action to adopt policy number BOSFIN 115 grants management and repeal policy 00:44:16
number the OS 32003 accepting and administering. 00:44:25
Grants, Yes. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, Supervisor Klein, Good morning, Supervisor Humphrey. Our grant management 00:44:34
policy that has been in effect is nearly 20 years old. There have been a lot of updates to the way grants run, including changes 00:44:42
at the federal level as to what our responsibilities are for our annual single audit. So we've worked with our grants committee 00:44:49
and with the County Attorney's office to bring this revised. 00:44:57
Policy to you and we were trying to get on a work session. We were unable to get that done, so we brought it here to this 00:45:04
morning's meeting. 00:45:09
Thank you, Mayor and Supervisor Humphrey, I have a question, so get ready. 00:45:14
I have gone through my book and Hino County Board of Supervisors policy. In my book, the policy number is Board of Supervisors 00:45:21
#3-2005 that we are. And so before we go forward, I just want to make sure the numbers are right so we don't. 00:45:33
Sorry, that's a typo in that agenda item. The attachment that says original policy number BOS three 2005 is. 00:45:46
Is attached here in the lower left hand corner of what's on the screen. Sorry about that. 00:45:55
So it is 5, not 3. 00:46:03
OK. 00:46:08
OK. That's what I think, the supervisor. Supervisor Klein man, thanks. Thanks for working. 00:46:10
20 years of catching up is long time, so thanks. Thank you, Mayor. And with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the 00:46:17
motion to adopt policy number BOSF IN-115 and repeal policy number B OS3-2005. 00:46:27
2nd, that we have a motion and a second to prove those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, Marin. Item 3J Information discussion 00:46:38

revised resolution to the Arizona Auditor General. 00:46:55
Yes. Good morning again, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. We had an error on the submission that we sent to the 00:47:04
Auditor General's Office for CFO designation. It was just a fiscal year error and we would like to correct that and resubmit. 00:47:12
Supervisor Humphrey, no questions. Supervisor Klein, I'm good, so am I. With that, I'll call through motion I move to adopt 00:47:21
revised resolution #24-11-01, and I'll second that motion of the second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:47:31
Marin, we have Item 3K information discussion action to approve a funding agreement accepting $150,000 from Resolution Copper 00:47:42
Mining LLC, which will be used to support the Michelson building project. Yes, good morning again, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Humphrey, 00:47:49
Supervisor Klein. Back in September, you had Brian Sepola from Resolution Copper here along with Robin Bradford from Freeport, and 00:47:57
they were sharing with you. 00:48:04
The support that both of their organizations are providing to the Michelson Building project. Today we are bringing you the formal 00:48:11
agreement with resolution for the $150,000 that they are committing to the Michelson project. This represents three years of 00:48:21
economic development. Contributions to heal a county of each of those years would be $50,000 each for a total of $150,000. 00:48:31
And it is designated for the Michelson building, which is becoming a business incubator. 00:48:41
You can see the other sources of funding are included in this agenda item and you can also see the timeline of the project shared 00:48:47
here in this agenda item that we shared back in September when we have this discussion previously. 00:48:54
Thank you, Marin Supervisor Humphrey. 00:49:03
Oh, OK. Yeah. This is a project that we're, we've been working with the City of Globe on. And so just a question. And is facility 00:49:07
is facilities overseeing this project? Facilities is collaborating with the city of Globe. We have to allow the city of Globe to 00:49:17
handle certain aspects of the project for them to have access to the $750,000 of congressionally directed spending from the USDA. 00:49:26
So we are working hand in hand with the city to ensure that the City of Globe is in compliance with everything they need to do to 00:49:36
get that money, while we are doing everything we need to do to maintain excellent stewardship of our property. Thank you. 00:49:44
Supervisor Klein. 00:49:53
Man, thank you and I really want to thank Resolution Copper for partner on this and everybody else that's involved as well. City 00:49:54
of Globe, thank you guys for all you're done on it and. 00:49:59
Really looking for the completion of this project, so certainly get there the better on James. 00:50:05
Mr. Chairman. 00:50:13
Mr. Jefferson from the City Globe is here. And if you would like to make any comments, certainly if you'd like to make some 00:50:16
comments, please come up. 00:50:19
Thank you for coming. 00:50:25
Mr. Chairman, members of the board and to Mr. Humphreys question, we like I say, this is the, the money we got is tied through 00:50:30
federal that we have to do the procurement and the oversight, but but this is your building and and we work with your staff to to 00:50:38
oversee the construction. We'll be overseeing that the paperwork part and make sure everything gets paid. 00:50:45
But for the who's going to call balls and strikes and whether the contractors are doing a good job or not, whether that's what is 00:50:53
is met, what's supposed to be, that's going to be in the hands of of county staff. 00:50:58
It's so important. We we are happy. It needs to be your oversight at least on the construction. That's the building that that you 00:51:04
own. And, and, and like I say, we're just doing this as part of the paperwork requirements of the federal money. Yeah, no, it's a 00:51:10
great partnership and I, yeah, I think, I think it's great and I appreciate everybody getting it done as as well as all the money 00:51:16
that we receive from it. 00:51:22
That was just a question. Well, no, it's a, it's an important question because it's something that we work through on the on the 00:51:29
agreement. 00:51:33
And, and we, we had to use the words we're partnering and contracting with the county, but, but in essence, well, we'll be one 00:51:36
doing the billing that we're not we're not paying or doing anything unless it's signed off by the county and to their to your 00:51:42
standards, your staff standards. 00:51:48
Thank you very much. Thank you for the partnership and thank you. We're all excited about getting this completed as soon as 00:51:55
possible. 00:51:58
OK. Yeah. Thank you so much. And I think we have other members of of the Globe community here as well. So thank you for coming. 00:52:03
Appreciate that. And so with that, I will call for a motion. 00:52:07
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve a funding agreement with Resolution Copper Mining LLC as presented. I'll second it 00:52:13
motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, Marin. Thank you. 00:52:20
Item 3L Information, Discussion Action to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Globe for the operation and 00:52:29
management of the Co located Globe Regional Justice Court and City Magistrate Court for the period beginning on January 1st, 2025 00:52:35
through December 31st, 2026. Good morning again, Joe. 00:52:42
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 00:52:49
Earlier this year, I was tasked with developing a new IGA with the City of Globe for the operation of the Globe Regional Justice 00:52:54
Court and the Co location of the City Magistrate Court. The there was an existing intergovernmental agreement that expired and Mr. 00:53:02
Bochy up asked me to to head the project to. 00:53:10
Develop a new agreement with the city of Globe, which actually went very smoothly. 00:53:18
But there are some changes coming up in the City of Gold was very cooperative Mr. Jepsen was in in getting this thing done. And if 00:53:25
the board looks in your agenda packet, the agreement has already been executed by the Gulf City Council and signed by by the 00:53:31
mayor. 00:53:38
And as importantly, the the city attorney was instrumental in in getting this draft to resolution and make some changes in the way 00:53:46
that the two courts will operate. Historically, my whole lifetime, those courts have been Co located. But to begin the process we 00:53:53
use the. 00:54:00
The model intergovernmental agreement provided by the Arizona Supreme Court, the administrative office of the court is a guide and 00:54:08
it pretty much matches the intergovernmental agreement that is used by the town of Payson. The finance department through Marin 00:54:16
developed the the cost sharing portion of the intergovernmental agreement whereby. 00:54:24
The City of Gold will pay for some of the occupancy in the the current Justice Court. 00:54:33
Complex down on the 1st floor as well as pay for some of the staff salary on a proportional basis because it is the board may be 00:54:40
aware the Miami Magistrate is also collated located there. And so the as I indicated, the the city of Globe is already executed 00:54:48
the the agreement and the parties are ready to begin. 00:54:56
The operation under the new IGA effect of January 1st. 00:55:05
Again, I'd like to thank Marin and Mr. Jefferson for their cooperation in this process. 00:55:09
Thank you, Joe. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:55:16
No, I, I'm, I'm grateful that it went smooth. I very much appreciate the, the working ability that we've had in the city of Globe. 00:55:19
It's a, it's a great partnership on, on anything that we need to work on and I and it's greatly appreciated. 00:55:26
So Joe, thanks and Marin and Jesse and Paul, thank you guys for jumping in and helping getting it all done too. That's great. 00:55:35
And so. 00:55:42
Don't appreciate it. And is there someone from Globe that wishes to say something? Yes, please come up. 00:55:44
Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors, thank you very much. We're redesigning this, but we're kind of globe is growing and and we're 00:55:57
to a point taking over a little bit more control over how we handle. 00:56:02
Criminal traffic and and. 00:56:09
Criminal misdemeanors by bringing on our own prosecutorial staff. It's real important just as we get larger and have more activity 00:56:11
What what I wanted to say we we appreciate this almost models after the patient, but the Globe City Magistrate office will still 00:56:19
remain open and if you want to pay your your civil ticket or come for a code compliance. 00:56:27
Citizens will still come to the city of Globe, go to the window and have everything taken care of there. But what the major 00:56:37
changes? Judge Pillman is retiring, retiring in March. 00:56:41
And so we will be contracting for the for with the justice court and to do that, take care of those low level cases, the civil and 00:56:47
the criminal. And, but, but the, the big difference is our window at the City Hall will stay open and people will still be able to 00:56:54
just pull up, walk over and take care of those civil cases there. And that's the biggest change. So it's important that we keep 00:57:02
that window open. But yeah, I know working with Mary and your staff with James Menlo. 00:57:09
And Joe Alba, it's been been great. So just thank you very much for the cooperation partnership and thank you. That's it. 00:57:17
Thank you. Thank you for those comments. 00:57:27
With that, I'll call for motion on item 3L Mr. I move to approve the intergovernment agreement with the City of Globe is 00:57:31
presented. 00:57:34
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. 00:57:41
We have a motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye aye, thank you. And next items 3 M information discussion action 00:57:43
to prove the purchase of a property located at 1410 E Ash St. and Globe. The amount is 620,000 to be used for county staff and 00:57:51
services and where Michael. Good morning Chairman, members of the board. So over the past 20 years. 00:58:00
Past administration, county administration and Board of Supervisors have been interested in the property directly to the east of 00:58:08
here on this campus. 00:58:12
Church directly to the east of here to purchase to use for county services. And it recently we recently contacted the church and 00:58:17
they're agreeable to selling the county, the church for the appraised value at 620,000, which would finish up the ARPA funding. 00:58:25
That's where the funding would come from this and then with the county staff, we've come up with about four or five different 00:58:32
options. We haven't settled on what option if we were to. 00:58:40
Church what we would use it for, but we certainly could use the space for county services in multiple different ways. Or even one 00:58:47
of the options was possibly using it as a teen center down in the southern area. Here it could be used as a training Center for 00:58:56
staff moving in smaller departments. We certainly could use it for an IT and a facility's drop down area. 00:59:05
Since anytime we travel back and forth for services for IT facilities, we have to go all the way back to the other side of town 00:59:14
and back so we could certainly use it a portion of this. The total square footage of the building is about 7500 square feet. The 00:59:22
top and bottom are identical of 3700 square feet each plus some change. 00:59:29
It's an open spot, the 37 on the top level. The bottom level is split up into eight different offices. And it still has some items 00:59:37
in there that the church has, which would take several months to clear out before we could identify and finalize what county 00:59:43
administration would like to use the building for. And I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Michael. Supervisor 00:59:49
Humphrey. 00:59:55
Thank you, Sir. Thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:00:32
Michael, I agree with Supervisor Humphreys thoughts on it as far as ownership and and having it here on this complex. 01:00:38
We have buildings scattered out all over, so if we acquire this building, what's the chances of working that to where we can get 01:00:49
rid of one of our other buildings on on Apache Blvd. or something like that to to reduce the amount of footprint Helic County has 01:00:55
all over globe? 01:01:01
Mr. Chairman, so I decline. That is a really good question and it is something that we have discussed and have looked at of how we 01:01:12
can consolidate our services and this is one piece. Our former facilities director, Mr. Hickman said that what can in the 01:01:19
questions, what can we do with that parking lot and that property over there. The question is always if we had that the church, 01:01:25
then it would. 01:01:32
Make the opportunities that we have of using that with that space a whole lot better by by acquiring it. But that is an intent and 01:01:38
something that we will work on over the next few months of how it can consolidate and also address some of our older facilities we 01:01:47
have. We have a number of modular offices that we utilize that certainly don't hold up as well as. 01:01:55
Brick and mortar, and then also buildings that are. 01:02:04
Deteriorating quickly and acquiring one of those that you're talking about is in Central Heights building that has come back to us 01:02:09
with a need to replace a roof and H documents at a cost of $2,000,000. So consolidating all is, is an important discussion to have 01:02:16
going forward and we certainly will look forward to doing that. Yeah. So just so you all know, my, my two cents is, is before we 01:02:24
just sprawl out and put more people here or whatever. 01:02:31
That that is a big consideration is that we do work towards eliminating something and especially like the building I mentioned 01:02:39
because it isn't even our building, you know and so I I think it's a good purchase. I think it's it's it's a good purchase to have 01:02:47
right here. 7000 feet is a lot of area that'll that'll help and so we. 01:02:54
We're sprawled out in Hilah County. Enough. 01:03:03
I guess is my bottom line so. 01:03:06
Mr. Miss Chairman, sorry Kleiner, if I might add that this availability of Arbor money we sat down with we have to have the ARPA 01:03:09
money obligated by this December 31st when I boarded my office is a whole bunch of scribbling and scratching. But that was to 01:03:17
reconcile and make sure that we had all of that money committed and through our we had a, a, some a number of dollars committed to 01:03:24
micro, not microcoming, but digitizing our records. We've been able to come in actually. 01:03:32
Less than what that has freed up this $620,000 to have that availability to purchase this building through the COVID ARPA monies. 01:03:39
Yeah, I'm glad we're able to use our ARPA funds and wrap them up and be done with them. That's that's a good leg. That's a that's 01:03:46
a good move for the folks here in Healing County. It's just that we have a lot to take care of right now. So. 01:03:53
Mr. Chair. 01:04:01
Yeah. Thank you, Michael. I think it's a great opportunity. We should take it though, without our call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll 01:04:03
make the motion to approve. The purchase of the property located at 1410 E Ash St. in Globe is presented. 01:04:11
I'll second that motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:04:19
Item 3 and we're going to have information discussion action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of 01:04:27
grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security for the Gila County Active Shooter Operational Coordination 01:04:35
Project and approve the sub recipient agreement #24. 01:04:42
AZDOHSHS GP2 Four 0304-01 to accept the related grant award in the amount of $20,000 for the performance period of October 1st, 01:04:50
2024 to September 30th, 2025. Good morning Carl. 01:04:59
Morning Chairman, board members. So this I'm going to give a little description of how these grants work that will better 01:05:09
understand how this is going to benefit us moving forward. So with the Homeland Security grants, all of these have to be tied to 01:05:15
counter terrorism in a sense and then utilized for two years dedicated to training and then the property owners become the 01:05:21
property owners outright moving forward so. 01:05:27
This. 01:05:34
Grant was written to acquire. Originally we applied for $35,000 for 40 vests, ballistic vests for firefighters, EMTs to assist 01:05:35
with active shooter response and active shooter training. In the world we live in today, this is a very real possibility and a 01:05:44
very real danger. So this would allow the protection of those first responders that would possibly be going into those situations. 01:05:53
We were approved for $20,000 for 25 vests and actually we will be getting an additional award for the additional 15,000 to 01:06:04
purchase all 40 that should be coming in the next month or so from reallocation funds. So this these vests will be purchased and 01:06:11
in coordination with the Fiery County Fire Chief's Association, distributed to the fire district so that they have them available 01:06:18
for those types of calls. 01:06:25
Of that, any questions? Thank you, Carl. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions, Carl. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:06:34
Carl, we have first responders actually step into those situations because whenever I see them on TV like the one just the other 01:06:41
day, you know you have plenty of cops which you you expect to see, but first responders don't step into those until it's actually 01:06:49
cleared. Am I correct or am I wrong depending on the situation? Supervisor in my past career was an easy post certified police 01:06:56
officer with the city of Globe and it is typically common practice to not send EMTs and fire personnel in until a scene. 01:07:04
Secured. But in events like active shooter, it's kind of hard to determine what is that safe area. So oftentimes they'll set a 01:07:11
staging area outside of the facility, which is definitely not safe, but a little further out of harm's way. But if you have, you 01:07:18
know, an officer or someone that is down and they're not able to extract them, EMEMS and fire will move into a closer location 01:07:24
where this would be very beneficial. 01:07:30
Protection measure to have. I think it'd be more beneficial if we gave them each a gun instead of a vest. Unfortunately I can't 01:07:37
help with that one, but I can help with this. 01:07:41
All right, Carl, Thank you. Of course. Yeah. Thank you, Carl. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. I move to ratify the Board 01:07:46
of Supervisors approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, AZDOHS, for the 01:07:55
Healer County Active Shooter Operational Coordination Project and approve AZDOHS. 01:08:04
Sub recipient agreement #24-A ZDOHSHS. DP-2, four, 0304-01. 01:08:13
As presented. 01:08:25
Mr. Chair, I'll second that We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, thank you, aye, aye. 01:08:27
Member voting aye. 01:08:37
30, Thank you, Carl. You've got to trim some of these numbers. 01:08:38
Information Discussion. Action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the stability of a grant application to the Arizona 01:08:47
Department of Homeland Security for the County Emergency Operations Center Mobile Capacities project and approve a sub recipient 01:08:54
agreement 24-AZ0HS-H S E-2 four 0304-2 to accept the related grant. 01:09:02
Award in the amount of $5100.00 for the performance period October 124 to September 3025. 01:09:11
Thank you, Chairman. So this application was for some equipment for our emergency operations center. Some of you have witnessed in 01:09:20
the past year we have become a little bit more remote with our operations. Our EOC actually runs hybrid now where we still have 01:09:27
our in person meetings and and make decisions together in person. But for our twice daily briefings, we'll do those virtually and 01:09:34
then community meetings will often be in person with a virtual option. 01:09:41
This grant was applied for to get the equipment to better do that. So this will be a video camera PA system. 01:09:49
A monitor, some microphones and some lighting. This can also be utilized for public awareness campaign videos and then in a pinch, 01:09:58
public meetings where we may not have power or the facilities to do a public meeting. So this equipment, though it's a smaller 01:10:05
price tag, actually has quite a few uses and will come in handy for us moving forward. 01:10:12
Thanks, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, Carl, thank you for always working forward to help us with issues that may arise in the future 01:10:21
and to have equipment and readiness for it. So thank you very much. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. So Carl, will this pretty much 01:10:28
round out your mobile dinner? 01:10:36
It will help. We're always on the on the lookout for whatever we can get to be better capable, especially if that money is coming 01:10:44
from somewhere else. So this will I mean greatly expand our capabilities. This is pretty much everything we need to run that 01:10:52
mobile EOC fully and then also to stand up in a pinch those public meetings or anything like that, so. 01:11:00
Yeah, this, this is a huge step forward. Never stay completely round off because I'm always going to be looking for forward 01:11:09
movement and growth. 01:11:12
Thanks, Carl. Thank you, Carl. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of Supervisors 01:11:17
approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security. Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that I don't 01:11:24
have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 01:11:30
Thank you. Everything OK over there, Sam? 01:11:40
OK. All right. With that we have the motion was approved. 01:11:44
Item 3P Mr. Chair, yes, Sir, I left out part of that motion. Yeah, it goes over on the second page louder. OK, so we will let me 01:11:50
redo that, all of that and start with the motion again on Item 3. O Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of 01:11:59
Supervisors approval for the submittal of a grant application to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security. 01:12:08
AZDOHS for the HeLa County emergency operations. 01:12:19
Center Mobile Capabilities project and approve AZDOHS sub recipient agreement #24-A ZDOHS Dash HSGP Dash 240304, Dash 02 as 01:12:22
presented. We definitely need to turn some stuff off. 01:12:34
I'll second that one as well. OK, so we have a motion and a second to approve item 3 O all those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank 01:12:46
you Carl. Item 3P is information. 01:12:52
Discussion action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of an Emergency Management performance grant 01:12:58
application and accept FFY 2024-2025 Emergency Management performance grant award #EMF2024 EP 05013 from the Arizona Department of 01:13:08

$40.60 for the performance period of July 2024 to June July 1, 2024 to June 31, 2025. 01:13:28
Thank you, Chairman. Members of the board, although I have not had any luck eating the award numbers to get any smaller, the award 01:13:42
amounts have gotten slightly larger, which is moving the right direction. I hope. So this is for our Emergency Management 01:13:48
Performance Grant, which is the grant that funds our day-to-day operations and response and everything like that, so. 01:13:54
The award this year is for the 265,000 and change. This will fund all of our operations, our staffing, equipment and everything 01:14:02
moving forward until. 01:14:07

EMF2024-EP-0501 Three. 01:14:43
From the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs division. 01:14:49
Of Emergency Management as presented. I'll second time, Mr. Chair, thank you. Motion to approve and seconded. All those in favor 01:14:56
say aye, aye. Thank you, Carl, I appreciate it. Item 3. Q Information, discussion action Adopt resolution #24-12-03 for the 01:15:06
installation of regulatory signage at the intersection of Hunkin Center Rd. and Escondido Rd. in Toner Basin. 01:15:15
In Gila County, we have Alex. Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Board of Supervisors, as you know, under state statute, any 01:15:25
regulatory sign needs to be reviewed by the county engineer and then brought to the supervisors for approval. There was a request 01:15:31
to review the intersection of. 01:15:37
Pumpkin Center Rd. at Escondido after a review and in compliance with the UTCD standards, it was determined that a yield sign is 01:15:43
the best signage for that intersection. Are there any questions? Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions other 01:15:51
than thank you because at my public meetings I've had people concerned about that intersection and why we weren't putting a sign 01:15:58
up and they were shocked to find out that we have to have all of our signage engineered that be patient. 01:16:06
We're getting to it. So thank you very much for getting that off your table and in process so that at my next meeting I can tell 01:16:13
them how efficient you are in in getting things done. So I appreciate it. Thank you. Great. Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thanks, 01:16:21
Alex. Yeah, me too. I'll call for motion. I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #24-12-03. 01:16:29
2nd that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye, aye aye. 01:16:39
Thank you, Alex. We have three our information discussion action to approve amendment #1 the contract number 072124 with Native 01:16:44
Environmental LLC which increases the contract amount by $60,000 for total contract amount of $120,000 for the term of October 01:16:52
15th, 24, two and 30th, 2025. Alex. 01:17:00
Thank you, Mr. Chair and the core supervisors. As you know, we are working on the what we're calling the Campaign 3 buyout and 01:17:09
clean up. 01:17:13
We brought before you a contract with Native Environmental based on their. 01:17:17
Of quotes and we estimated based on that a cost which. 01:17:23
Got from the last time we did an asbestos survey and cleanup, which was in 2019. And so we grossly underestimated what the cost 01:17:28
would actually be. And so after they got back to us with the survey costing, we determined that it was going to be an additional 01:17:35
$60,000 to address the entirety of the survey and remediation of the asbestos. Now that being said, that still fell well within 01:17:41
the budget for the actual project as a whole. 01:17:48
So none of this money will come out of the county's pocket, but will instead be either out of the FEMA buyout money for the 01:17:55
original eight homes. 01:17:59
Or the earmarks money for the additional two homes that we added to the projects? 01:18:03
OK, Thank you Alex Supervisor which will take money away from the $3,000,000 that we were on hold with the state to do work on the 01:18:09
north side, correct. We keep shifting at that rock. But no, I I appreciate it as we go forward and how sweet it is able to have 01:18:16
that. So I think the state very much for it and and you being frugal with us as we go forward and costs end up being the way they 01:18:23
are, but it will make it a better project for. 01:18:31
Community, So thank you very much. 01:18:38
Supervisor Klein, Alex, I'm good. Thanks. I'm good too. I'll call for motion. 01:18:41
Mr. Chair, I move to approve amendment number one to contract number 072124 with A Native Environment LLC. 01:18:47
I'll second that, have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you very much. All right. Item 3S is 01:18:58
information discussion action to approve economic development agreement number as 101024 between Healer County and the Brownsville 01:19:04
Western Heritage incorporated in the amount of $5000 to support the educational efforts to save Western heritage for youth and 01:19:11
adults. 01:19:18
In Hilo County, which the board has determined to be for the benefit. 01:19:26
Of the public supervisor Humphrey yeah I my names on it but I thank you both because it's it's one of those 33 deals 3 waste all 01:19:30
put in for it and and it's a it's a great thing and and I was there been there several times but you know to see those kids out 01:19:37

know be out and and understand more of what. 01:19:51
Where where things come from and how rough it is to get there. So I think it's a a great, a great deal and. 01:19:59
You know, my hats off to everybody that participates in that because it takes a lot of volunteers to do that. And so I'm, I'm, I'm 01:20:06
grateful for for being able to help such a program proceed so. 01:20:13
And I'm grateful for the help in helping sponsor it. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor Klein. No, I agree with everything 01:20:22
Tim said. And I really want to thank Bill and Lori Brown for for being a the big drivers of this. And they do an awesome job in 01:20:28
half for ever since we've been in office, I guess, huh? 01:20:35
So quite a while, maybe even a little bit before so maybe before just nothing. So they've done an awesome job and it's good to 01:20:42
support. 01:20:46
Thank you. Yes, Laurie, Bill. So they also have like a little museum now and they have some great stuff there. And this is this is 01:20:51
a nonprofit thing that they do to just keep Western heritage alive and teach our kids what it's all about to love the land and 01:20:58
care for it. So with that, I will call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Economic Development Agreement 01:21:06
number 10. 01:21:13
024 with Brownsville Western Heritage Incorporated as presented, which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the 01:21:20
public. I'll second that motion of the second to approve those in favor say aye, aye aye. Item 3T is information Discussion Action 01:21:28
to approve Economic Development Agreement number 10082024 between Hula County and the Globe Miami Chamber of Commerce in the 01:21:35
amount of $10,000 to purchase a new LED Information Board. 01:21:42
Which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. Would he? 01:21:50
Thank you, Mr. Chair. So this came to us from the Chamber of Commerce here and Jesse and you are here to talk about it and let us 01:21:54
know more. Come on up and introduce yourselves. 01:22:00
Good morning, chairman and supervisors. I'm Angel Freeze from the Globe Miami Regional Chamber of Commerce, and I'm the Director. 01:22:08
So basically, we're here to. 01:22:17
The chamber is not only the visitor center, we're also, I mean, I don't, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm nervous. We're not only help 01:22:21
small businesses, we're also the visitor center. So we get tourism all day long. So with that, Jesse, hi. Good morning, chairman. 01:22:31
Good morning. We were asking for $10,000 today to help us get that last leg. He bought the sign, the signs here. 01:22:41
And now we just need, we need that last leg. We're looking at about $20,000 shortfall, still yet to get that sign up, but the 01:22:51
Chamber is ready to put in that extra funding to get us there. So with you, if today we were approved at $10,000, we would then 01:22:58
just get the $10,000 left and the Chamber's ready to put that money in and get this sign up. That sign has been out for three 01:23:04
years. It's a revenue stream for the Chamber that we've been out without for three years. 01:23:11
Our idea behind that is it is on the main frontage there on the 60, it's what? 01:23:18
People look to all the time. It's something that we can offer our members. It's something we can offer the the county here to put 01:23:23
up for Discovery County, or. 01:23:27
Information such as Emergency Management planning fires or floods, where, where to go, where the safe place is, you can wipe that 01:23:33
board. It is, it is Wi-Fi enabled and with MQ APC. So we can, we can allow people, somebody such as Angel director or Emergency 01:23:40
Management to have access to that via Wi-Fi or via PC there at the at the chamber itself. So with that being said, I'll open up to 01:23:47
any questions that you might have for us. 01:23:53
Well, thank you so much for that, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:24:01
I have no questions other than thanks for the effort and for the ask. You know, like I say, I, I love all the partnerships that 01:24:04
that we have in our community. If there's a need, it seems like everybody's willing to work together to get it done. And so thank 01:24:11
you very much for your efforts. One thing too is that this 10,000 will be split between the three of us again as well. And so, so 01:24:19
that that shows a good partnership, good faith. 01:24:26
If I could have, if you want to just let you know that Freeport has committed 13,000, Capstone has come in 10,000 and resolution 01:24:34
proper as well for attendance. And so we have great partnerships throughout throughout the community and the surrounding areas. 01:24:41
Very good. All right. Well, if there's nothing else, thank you for what you do and I'll call promotion. 01:24:49
I move to approve Economic Development Agreement number 10082024 with the Globe Miami Chamber of Commerce, as presented, which the 01:24:58
Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. And I will second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say 01:25:04
aye. 01:25:09
Yeah, very much. Thank you so much. Thank you guys very much. Happy holidays. 01:25:18
Merry Christmas. 01:25:23
All right, moving on to item 3V. 01:25:25
We're going to end up with a whole alphabet almost today. Read the information discussion, action to accept the settlement 01:25:28
agreement and release of liability from David and Wendy Hatch. I think he skipped a few. Mr. Chair, we're on you. 01:25:35
Please pardon. It's OK, I that's why I got to check stuff off. 01:25:43
Almost a perfect meeting. 01:25:51
UH3U I'm sorry for the skip there information discussion action to prove economic development agreement number 10272024 between 01:25:54
Hugh County and Hayden Winkleman Unified School District 41 in the amount of $1000 to support the Hayden Winkelman USD, which the 01:26:02
board has determined be for the benefit of the public just decline. So this is mine again and this I've supported them now for a 01:26:09
few years and this goes to the kids and it. 01:26:16
Uniforms and helps provide transportation and what they need throughout the year to compete in in their bowl games. So I've I look 01:26:24
forward to keep doing it and it goes to a good cause. Any questions, I'll take them. I have no questions. Neither do I. So I'll 01:26:31
call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve economic development Agreement number 10272024 with the Hayden and 01:26:39
Winkelman Unified School District #41. 01:26:46
Which the board has determined to be for the band for the public. I'll second that Mr. Chair a motion and a second to approve 01:26:54
those in favor say aye. Item 3 the now information discussion action to accept the settlement agreement release of liability from 01:27:02
David and Wendy hatch principles of Pleasant Valley refuse for the damages sustained to the see these barracks building at the 01:27:09
Pleasant Valley veterans retreat in young. 01:27:16
Good morning again, Joe. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Members of the Board earlier this year. 01:27:25
The Hatches who are the principles of Pleasant Valley Refuge refuse in the Pleasant Valley area. We're doing some work on the 01:27:33
Veterans Retreat Center and did some minor damage to one of the the buildings there. The total amount is the $634.03. They agreed 01:27:41
after the Mr. Dickerson arranged to have that. 01:27:50
That damage surveyed and and the cost established. 01:27:59
To pay the amount of $634.03 and have since done so when approached by. 01:28:03
By Mr. Dickerson about this I drafted a simple one page settlement agreement with them in exchange for their paying that amount to 01:28:11
the Tehila County and this this agreement will will then is brought to the board for final adoption of the board and signing by 01:28:18
the chairman and that will complete the transaction with with them. But they were very cooperative, acknowledged their 01:28:25
responsibility here. 01:28:32
It was a minor amount and so. 01:28:39
A1 page settlement agreement concluded it. 01:28:42
OK, very good. So Supervisor Humphrey? 01:28:45
Yeah, I have no questions. I just appreciate, you know, the way things worked out and. 01:28:51
And I was going to ask, was there was that any of that in kind? I mean they were doing repairs, did they repair the damage or was 01:28:58
it estimated by somebody else? And it probably doesn't matter as long as it's settled, I guess, but. 01:29:05
Did we do the return or did the hatchet? 01:29:15
Chairman, Board of Supervisors. The repair hasn't been completed yet, so once this is settled, then we have a contractor. 01:29:19
Oh, OK. 01:29:26
Great surprise. 01:29:29
Dave and Windy are are very good people and this was a total, total mistake. He just backed a little bit for the trash truck into 01:29:34
the corner of the brakes, put in a cut in the siding about that long. 01:29:40
Pretty much a sheet of siding and some paint would have taken care of it. You know, I just sometimes I'm amazed at the hoops and 01:29:48
the processes that we go through to, to do something. I mean, we've got more time and money into this project and it would have 01:29:54
taken to fix the corner of that building. I mean, it didn't knock anything out. It didn't pull any wood out of the side or 01:30:00
anything. And I'm glad it's settled. 01:30:06
I'm I'm seriously glad it's settled, but it never ceases to amaze me. 01:30:13
The hoops, the length of time that we spend doing some of this stuff when a simple fix is all that's in order. But but thank you, 01:30:18
Joe for getting that one page deal done. I appreciate that. I know it could have been much lengthier, but. 01:30:25
But there's days I really shake my head and this is this has been one of one of them. So thank you. Thank you all that helped get 01:30:34
it. 01:30:37
Chairman and members of board. Mr. Collins. 01:30:42
It may have been helped if the county had a policy that dealt with. 01:30:45
The small amount damages to heal a county property, see somebody backs into a sign that bends the pole and that sort of thing. But 01:30:52
that can be dealt with administratively if they're willing to pay the seven or $800 that it takes to correct it on the spot and 01:31:00
delegate that that authority somewhere so that these matters don't take up board time and get resolved as quickly as possible. 01:31:07
That we need to have that kind of guidance from the board going forward. Good. That's something maybe in the future we can work on 01:31:16
Joe and sure, shorten some things up and. 01:31:21
Yeah. I think I'll take that on. Thank you, Jill. Yes, Joe. So yes, if you want to present something to us later as a remnant, 01:31:26
that would be that would be a great thing. With that, I will call for motion. 01:31:34
Mr. Chairman, to accept a settlement agreement and release the liability from David and Wendy Hatch, principles of Pleasant Valley 01:31:42
refuge as presented. And I'll second that a motion to 2nd to approve those in favor say aye, aye. I have. The next two items are 01:31:52
are appointment items that are part of my recommendation. So I don't number W3WS information discussion action to appoint. 01:32:01
Miranda to the Hilo County Board of Adjustments for term of office ending on December 31st, 2027. Samantha. 01:32:12
Thank you Chairman and board members. So Mary Lou Myers has served on the Hewlett County Board of Adjustment for 12 years and nine 01:32:20
months for District 1. She has recently resigned. Her service to Hewlett County is very much appreciated. Appreciated. Due to Miss 01:32:26
Myers resignation, there's a vacancy on the board and Supervisor Christensen recommends that the Board of Supervisors appoint 01:32:32
lawyer Miranda to the Hewitt County Board of Adjustment through December 31st, 2027. 01:32:38
Supervisor Humphrey, I have no question. Supervisor Klein? No, I'm good. Mr. Chair. She's a valued member of the community of 01:32:46
Pine. Been there for a couple generations. So anyway, it should be a good addition without alcohol. For motion, I'll make the 01:32:52
motion to appoint Laura Miranda to the Healer County Board of Adjustment as presented. I'll 2nd that I have a motion to 2nd to 01:32:58
approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:33:05
Item 3X Information Discussion Action to appoint a reappoint the following members of the Heliconic Planning and Zoning Commission 01:33:11
for the terms beginning January 1st, 2025 to December 31st, 2028. A point of Laura Miranda and reappointment of Miranda. 01:33:20
Meyer, Samantha, Thank you again. So the Planning and Zoning Commission is comprised of nine members. 01:33:30
Mary Lou Myers has also served on this board for 12 years and nine months effective December 31st, 2024. She does not wish to 01:33:36
serve another term on this board. Again, her service has been most appreciated. Supervisor Christensen has asked Miss Laura 01:33:42
Miranda to serve on this board and she has agreed. Miss Miranda's term of office will expire on so this is a separate. This is the 01:33:48
reappointment. 01:33:54
Of Miranda Meyer, so her term will expire on December 31st, 2024, and she has expressed a desire to continue serving on this 01:34:01
board. 01:34:05
And Supervisor Christensen would like her to continue serving. 01:34:09
Thank you, Samantha. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:34:12
Question. I'm fine. I'm good. OK. And just let everyone know Miranda Meyer here is the was with us earlier in the meeting as the 01:34:16
chamber. 01:34:21
The real country. 01:34:27
A Chamber of Commerce director. OK, so she's doing a great job there. So with that, I'll call for motion Mr. I move to a point 01:34:30
Laura Miranda and reappoint Miranda Meyer to the healer. County Planning and Zoning Commission is presented and I'll 2nd that I 01:34:38
have a motion to 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. It's quite astonishing that we have two Mirandas there. 01:34:46
Anyway. 01:34:54
Ah, item 4 is our consent agenda item. We have item A through G to provider Humphrey, is there anyone or more of those items you 01:34:56
would like to discuss separately? I'm fine, Thank you. OK, thank you. And Supervisor Klein, same question. I I'm good looking for 01:35:04
a motion then to approve consent agenda items for a through 4G. So move Mr. Chair. 01:35:12
I'll second it. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you. Moving on now, Item 5. 01:35:21
This is a call to the public and we will make a call to the public and the public will be able to come and speak. We like to limit 01:35:31
the comments to three minutes and we, the board, will not be able to take any actions with regard to the comments made. So I will 01:35:39
call to the public in Payson. Is there anyone there? 01:35:47
How about you, Cassandra? How many people do we have today? 01:35:57
60 well is that a new record anyway that's really great and also hearing globe I do have that wishes to speak this morning and her 01:36:01
name is Jolene Hunt Casillas and if she would please come forward and. 01:36:10
Tell us what's on your mind, ma'am. 01:36:23
Okay. 01:36:37
Hello, Chairman. 01:36:40
And board members, my name is Jolene Hunt Cassius. I reside at 6056 Copper Canyon Drive here in Globe in Copper Hills. 01:36:43
Thank you for hearing our concern today. It is in regards to a notice of trespass letter that we received. 01:36:52
I'm here today in hopes to just have clarification and a pathway to resolve this situation. This trespass letter we have received 01:37:00
from the Healer County Facilities and Land Management Department. 01:37:07
Myself, along with my fiance Clayton Westbrook, she's also here, have both received a certified letter on November 25th. 01:37:14
From a Miss Bianca Airline, the event coordinator for Gila County. These letters are a notice of trespass which will be enforced 01:37:24
for two years. This letter does not have any Healy County marking seal. 01:37:32
Letterhead or a wet signature. 01:37:41
I do have copies if you guys would. 01:37:44
To have one. 01:37:47
There is not any information in this letter given as to what law we may have broken, policy was violated, or any misconduct that 01:37:49
we may have committed or any way to appeal this issue. Board, Clayton and I have not broken any laws or violated any rules that 01:37:57
warrant being trespassed from the Hewlett Conference. 01:38:05
The only possibility we could think think of is. 01:38:15
An issue that occurred during the Gila County Fair at the RV park, and I'll give you just a quick rundown. I can provide further 01:38:20
information afterwards as needed, but due to the time limit, I'm gonna make it quick. Yeah, please. Just if you exceed 3 minutes. 01:38:30
I'm giving. Well I was gonna give the Cliff notes version. 01:38:41
Did you say I can go past the three minutes? Yes, but not excessively. OK, so I prepared for three minutes. I was trying to make 01:38:47
it. I understand, but I need to have the whole story. So yeah, please. Thank you for that. So what I have prepared is that during 01:38:53
the fair week, there was a huge breakdown in communication between Miss Arlen and ourselves. The result was we are asked to remove 01:39:00
our camper from the fairgrounds and leave. 01:39:07
We complied with this request. We were able to come and go but not can, Deputy Gomez stated on behalf of Bianca Erlin. The 01:39:14
eviction was for non payment even though she had to open up the lock box and return our money to us to take us out because we did 01:39:22
pay. 01:39:29
Umm, we didn't want to cause any further scene and our kids still had the whole fair to. 01:39:37
To show their animals, yeah, they had a lot of participation in for the rest of the week, so we didn't want to cause any trouble. 01:39:47
So we did as we were asked and we left. 01:39:50
But that if that is the reason, it definitely doesn't constitute trespassing. 01:39:55
So now if this trespass stands, there are serious life events that will be missed out on #1 Clayton and I will no longer be able 01:40:04
to help with 4H as we are both certified leaders. 01:40:11
In good standings with the cooperative ext #2 my girls will no longer be able to participate in any 4H or fair activities. They 01:40:19
are 7 and 14. 01:40:26
And four H and raising livestock isn't just an activity, it's a lifestyle that they dedicate all year long. 01:40:34
Umm, they have already missed out on a 4H volunteer opportunity because it was held at the fairgrounds 2 weekends ago. 01:40:41
#3 you know, if there are functions like the Friends of the NRA, who I am a volunteer for, or the Cattle Growers Association or a 01:40:51
funeral that's coming up next month, we won't be able to attend. 01:40:57
And #4 and mostly important to us is destiny. Charter school holds, holds their 8th grade graduation there. And that means 01:41:05
Clayton's daughter will be graduating 8th grade. And he wants, he wants to attend. 01:41:12
And so before my conclusion, since I have a couple more seconds, we did during the fair fiasco, we did try to reach out to Miss 01:41:21
airline to try to come to some kind of. 01:41:28
You know, smooth it out to see what we could do to get this situation resolved. And she wouldn't. 01:41:35
Talk to us. She sent the deputies out instead, and the deputy reached out to Mr. Dickinson. 01:41:42
Because that is. 01:41:52
Miss Arlen supervisor and he said that he stood behind Sarah decision. 01:41:54
So we did try to work it out and with no. 01:42:01
With no conclusion. And with that? 01:42:07
After the fair, we thought everything was OK until we received this letter. There's been no communication between the county Land 01:42:10
Management department and us. 01:42:15
For any kind of. 01:42:21
Trying to come to an agreement but so in conclusion board, I'm unsure as to what your next step can be. I don't know how these 01:42:24
things are really man, but we would like to see this notice of trespass be terminated. 01:42:31
As residents of Hewlett County, we should be able to enjoy all of the wonderful activities that are held at the Healer County 01:42:38
Fairgrounds and at the very least given some sort of appeals process so we can consult with council to assist with this issue 01:42:45
moving forward to find some kind of remedy. 01:42:51
OK. Thank you. Miss Hunt, I can't comment, but you said you had copies. I mean, I have a copy of that letter, please. 01:43:00
Thank you very much. 01:43:13
Yes, thank you, Supervisor Humphrey, any, any comments you'd like to make? 01:43:15
Well, not, not no. We can't take action, Sir, but you can certainly speak with staff or anything if you'd like to. Yeah. That's 01:43:21
why I asked for a copy of the letter, so that I can read the letter and intelligently speak with staff in the future. In the near 01:43:27
future. OK. Supervisor Klein. 01:43:33
So. 01:43:42
I don't need to speak to staff, I need to speak to James. 01:43:45
This is where I think things need to go to get, you know, figured out and and finalized and taken care of and so. 01:43:49
I I know we can't comment on on any of this and whatnot, but. 01:44:00
Violations of trespassing is a serious deal. 01:44:07
And I look forward to having some a meeting with you on it. 01:44:10
Thank you, supervisor. Thank you, Miss Hunt for your presentation. And we can't take any action or anything, but this is new to 01:44:19
me. This is the first time I've heard it. I, I don't know the, all the details or anything else. And so I'm, I'm interested in 01:44:28
knowing what happened and why and if there is a remedy that the board needs to step in and do. James, did you have some comments? 01:44:36
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, we will have a facilities prepare for report that we can submit to each of you so that we can 01:44:46
have a more full understanding of what occurred. 01:44:51
And can we get that by say, January 7th or so? OK. 01:44:56
All right. Thank you very much. That's that's our next meeting, January 7th. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Is anyone 01:45:01
else in the Globe office here courthouse that wishes to have a call to the public? 01:45:08
No, All right. And so at this time, I have a, I have a. Go ahead, Sir. 01:45:16
James, you said that you would have. 01:45:23
Of facilities prepare something for, is that will that be to the board individually or will that be before the board at a public 01:45:26
meeting in the future? 01:45:31
Mr. Chairman, I would like to and Supervisor Humphrey like to have a report that we can, that we can have that discussion with 01:45:38
you, that facilities can put that together, that individually we can have it close to the details, answering questions if we need 01:45:46
to have a a discussion in a public meeting and then we can schedule that at a later date, OK. Because it was kind of misleading to 01:45:53
me that they would be some kind of deal on the 7th. And so our meeting is on the 7th, but apparently. 01:46:00
We will get information from the county individually. You're welcome to call me. 01:46:08
Mr. Chairman, I believe that we established a deadline that will have a report to give to you and to be. 01:46:15
OK. 01:46:22
Thank you. Thank you, James. 01:46:28
If there's nothing else, item 6 is. 01:46:30
Our reports manager Manlove, please, Mr. Chairman of the board, just want to wish all of our employees and staff for Healer County 01:46:35
and do tremendous job and tremendous work and wish them the best of the holiday season and happy, happy and safe New Year. Thank 01:46:41
you to each of you for all you do and to the citizens of Hewlett County wish you a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Thank 01:46:48
you. Thank you Mr. Menlova. Supervisor Humphrey. 01:46:54
And then at a small counties forum, attended the LEPC Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting. 01:47:02
Held a Tunnel Basin community meeting on the third. Held a Garcila community meeting on the 7th. Held a Roosevelt community 01:47:09
meeting on the ninth. Was on KQSS also on the 9th at 5:30. 01:47:17
And so anyway, other than that, I would just like to wish everybody a a very safe and happy holiday and thanks staff for an A-Z 01:47:26
and an executive session today. 01:47:34
Supervisor Klein, thank you. So I attended the Arizona New Mexico Coalition of Counties meeting last week in Albuquerque on the 01:47:43
chair on that board and it was held there with the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association. Is really good to meet some of those 01:47:49
people and, and, and have a good visit. 01:47:56
Another important, important thing that's happening this week is our PVVR bill is being pushed on pretty hard. This is the last 01:48:04
week that we have to get it through. If it doesn't go through by Friday, it's not going to make it. It'll be starting over. So 01:48:12
they're working really hard on it, trying to get that pushed through. So hopefully here by the end of the week. 01:48:19
We'll hear if it if it makes it or not. 01:48:29
And keep our fingers crossed and hopefully we'll not start over again. So that's it. OK, Thank you supervisor. I also want to wish 01:48:33
everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Be safe and have good family time together. We have been removing some RV's off 01:48:41
of the forest in the northern part of Yulick County. 01:48:49
Cole Levante, the the sheriff deputy. 01:48:58
Has reported that they're in the process of also exploring several others. 01:49:03
They're in the area, so that is happening. That was a recent thing that we just did and it's already working and involved. 01:49:08
Supervisor Humphrey and I, along with James and Rick and a few others attended this ESA small county dinner this last week and it 01:49:17
was marvelous. Really good, excellent food. Please thank Sherry. I mean, if the food was unbelievably good and. 01:49:27
The Horton, we do have a Horton fire. It's up to 390 acres, Carl reports this morning. No structures threatened. I'm sure they're 01:49:38
just going to use it as a management fire like they normally do. It's a little unusual to have one in December, but it has been 01:49:44
pretty pleasant weather. He also reports that we're working toward getting all of our emergency water sites transformed into the 01:49:50
new. 01:49:57
Six sites are already done. We have a total of 14 to do. 01:50:04
Some of the discussion that was at the CSA was stuff that we have talked about, like insurance looks like the legislature is going 01:50:09
to be addressing. 01:50:14
Insurance in our threat areas, which is almost every area you think about it when it comes to fire and the issues there with 01:50:22
cancellations and that blight was another thing that was brought up. Groundwater regulations always a concern. 01:50:30
And so I do plan on attending the January 15th meeting, which is a meet and greet at CSA with legislators. Well, that's that's my 01:50:40
plan. So I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and. 01:50:47
We're going to move on now to our executive session item which is 7 A information discussion action devote to go into executive 01:50:56
session pursuant to Arizona Revised statutes for discussion or consideration of a renewal of a four year employment contract 01:51:06
between Gila County and Mr. W James Miller for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31st, 2028. I'll call for motion so. 01:51:16
I'll second it motion and a second to approve to go into executive session. All those in favor say aye, aye, All right. 01:51:26
OK, thank you. So I would like to reconvene now here in the. 01:51:44
Chambers and we had a lot of discussion on a plan and so I will. 01:51:50
Well, for motion, Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion for staff to proceed as directed. I'll second that. OK, we have a motion and a 01:51:59
second all those in favor. 01:52:05
County attorney's office, yes. Not staff. 01:52:13
And you concur with that on your second, then we will then decide all those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, gentlemen. 01:52:18
