| recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control whether the license should be granted. | 00:01:25 | |
| Samantha, thank you. Good morning, Chairman and board members. So Cynthia and Max submitted an application to the Arizona | 00:01:33 | |
| Department of Liquor Licenses and Control for the transfer of a Series 6 bar license at the Pinewood Tavern. Miss Mack has been | 00:01:38 | |
| issued an interim permit to operate at the location. There have been no issues reported by the departments or members of the | 00:01:43 | |

| Equalization Hearing Officer H Charles Johnson's decision regarding an appeal of the assessor's notice of change valuation of | 00:03:13 | |
| assessors, parcel number 30430. | 00:03:21 | |
| 033 J protects your 2025 and that was heard on December 13th, 2024. Samantha, thank you again. So the BOE received a residential | 00:03:28 | |
| petition for review of notice of change requesting a hearing for the BOE for assessors parcel tax number 304-3003 three J for tax | 00:03:37 | |
| year 2025. | 00:03:45 | |
| Healer County BOE Hearing Officer Mr. Johnson heard from the petitioner and the assessor's office. | 00:03:55 | |
| At the at the hearing, Mr. Johnson advised that the agricultural status for parcel number 30430033 J should be given for tax year | 00:04:00 | |
| 2025. | 00:04:04 | |
| The assessor's office agreed with his decision in the hearing. | 00:04:11 | |
| So as a reminder, per the contractual agreement between Hewitt County and the hearing officer and the VOA, the Boes review of the | 00:04:14 | |
| 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 | |
| substantiated evidence presented to the VOA that procedures were violated or state law was violated. So I give you guys that | 00:04:30 | |

| Supervisor Humphrey. No questions. Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you. I'm good as well. So with that, I'll call for motion on | 00:04:40 | |

| auction. Approved the sale of the Assessor pack parcel number 30507021 to Hulu County for $1.00 in which said Farsa will be used | 00:05:47 | |

| Annually the Hewitt County Treasurer deeds parcels to the State of Arizona in care of the Board of Supervisors due to non payment | 00:06:17 | |
| of taxes for seven consecutive years. Parcel number 20507021 is one of those parcels needed in 2024. So Public Works has | 00:06:23 | |
| 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 | |
| parcel from the 2024 listing so that the county can purchase the parcel for $1.00. | 00:06:36 | |
| As outlined in the statute. | 00:06:43 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| $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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| months for District 1. She has recently resigned. Her service to Hewlett County is very much appreciated. Appreciated. Due to Miss | 01:32:26 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
