Transcript
Now I may not be. Good morning everyone. Welcome to 2025. 00:00:00
I'd like to call this meeting to order Tuesday, January 7th at 10:00 AM and. 00:00:06
Supervisor Humphrey, would you lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance? And after that, Mister Sandoval? 00:00:15
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the stand for nation under God, indivisible, with liberty 00:00:20
and justice for all. 00:00:28
Lord, we thank you for this day, for the beginning of a new year. Lord, we have much to be thankful for. 00:00:40
That it's our privilege to live in a beautiful place in a beautiful country. 00:00:47
To be free to make decisions to practice religion. 00:00:53
Where we're thankful for the way who have blessed our county and many people in our county. We're thankful for the leadership that 00:00:58
the Board of Supervisors has provided. Lord, I pray that they would continue to make good decisions in wisdom. 00:01:07
In good faith, as it says, to the best of their abilities. Be with them. Be with our people and our country. 00:01:16
In Jesus name we pray, Amen. Before you proceeded, if you would, I would like to mention that we just recently lost a former 00:01:25
supervisor, Adolf Hito Trujillo. He served from 1973 to 1992. He he's on the wall, He's fairly far back as a public servant and 00:01:35
we're all going to end up on that wall someday. And so we want to remember him and all that he contributed to the county. 00:01:45
A long time. So if we just pause maybe for 10 seconds and reflect on that. 00:01:55
Thank you very much. 00:02:06
It could be single. 00:02:08
All right. 00:02:10
Well, we have a pretty full schedule today, so we'll get started. 00:02:17
Let's get started with item #2A. It's a public hearing. It's information discussion, Action to adopt resolution #25-01-02, which 00:02:22
approves Healer County community development, case number CU PP2410-001, a request by Destry Development for DW Tower LLC. 00:02:34
Applicant Martha Ann Volksanovich, owner, for a conditional use permit upon Hilah County. 00:02:46
Assessors Tax parcel #201-06-013 are located at 131 E Highway 188 in Town Basin, Ela County. Randy. 00:02:54
Morning Sir. Morning. So DW Tower is proposing 120 foot rustic monopole for this property along with an approximate 30 by 80 foot 00:03:08
enclosure with a block wall around it. This site is being developed to handle 3 carriers and an additional public safety equipment 00:03:18
for the applicant. The height should be sufficient to overcome some of the challenges from the growing topography in the area. 00:03:27
And to be the primary service for several miles in each direction. The subject parcel is a 5.3 acres and is located at Hwy. 188. 00:03:38
This is basically butcher hook. 00:03:44
The proposed site location is near the parcels West side. Per the applicant, they pull the set back 136 feet from the South 00:03:52
property line, which is the nearest property line and 140 foot from the highway. The sex setbacks to the north and east is an RV 00:04:01
resort from the highway and existing park line. Power and fiber are both on the property site conditions. 00:04:10
Our site construction takes approximately 60 to 90 days. 00:04:19
It is currently expected that Verizon would be the first carrier as they requested DW Tower to move forward with this site. The 00:04:23
structure and building are designed to handle additional carriers. Per the applicant. The height is needed to maximize the reach 00:04:31
of the site along the highway and to overcome some of the rowing topography. Again, there are. 00:04:39
13 CONDITIONS Development, operation and maintenance shall be in conformance with the application narrative and materials provided 00:04:50
with the conditional use request and on file with Community Development dated October 28th, 2024 and these conditions of approval. 00:04:57
The maximum height of the 100 should be 120 foot monopole wireless facility including base platform and antennae. It is not to 00:05:04
exceed 100. 00:05:11
Above natural grade 120 manifold wireless facility must be structurally engineered. The 120 foot Mireno pole wireless facility 00:05:19
shall be located no closer than its height to any adjacent property subject right away or any unrelated structures unless 00:05:26
accompanied by a structural engineer. Plans that eliminate the fall distance. Building permits must be obtained within one year 00:05:33
from the date of the approval of the Board of Supervisors. 00:05:40
Failure of such shall void the conditional use permit. A current lease agreement with the owner shall be submitted prior to the 00:05:48
issuance of a building permit. The 120 foot monopole wireless facility and all associated equipment shall be removed immediately 00:05:55
from the property at the owners expense. At the model coal becomes unusable or obsolete, the applicant will provide the ability to 00:06:03
Co locate other antennas on this 120 foot monopole facility. 00:06:10
Equipment area shall be skirted and vandal proof. The fencing and closing of this compound shall not exceed 6 foot in height and 00:06:18
no barbed wire should be used or be in place. All lighting shall comply with Heal County Dark Sky Ordinance. Certificate 00:06:26
completion will be issued upon construction completion and heal County and building approval. There is responsibility of the owner 00:06:33
of the APN 20106013 R to obtain. 00:06:40
Necessary federal, state, county and local permits that may be required. The issuance of the conditional use permit does not 00:06:48
relieve the owner of liability of any felony to obtain any permits. Property owners within 300 feet of the subject property were 00:06:55
notified and the applicant held a citizen participation plan on October 8th, 2024. There were no attendees from the notice and 00:07:03
there that was sent and we have received. 00:07:10
Letters against or for this legal ads were published 12/17/2024 12:18 in the PACER round up in the Silver Belt and the site was 00:07:18
posted on 12/18. 00:07:26
That's it. 00:07:38
I'll be here more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no questions. I'm 00:07:41
glad to see this. That area is very much in need of better communication. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor Klein. Yeah, I don't 00:07:48
have any questions, Randy. And I agree with Supervisor Humphrey that that's going to help a lot of folks like. So it will be 00:07:55
taking my excuse when I'm driving through that not being talking on the phone. 00:08:02
OK, Randy, I don't have any questions either, so I'll close this portion of the discussion and open it up for public hearing. Is 00:08:11
there anyone in the Globe here that wishes to speak to Item 2A? 00:08:16
No, Cassandra. No. And Lisa. 00:08:22
No, Sir. OK, Thank you. I'll close the public hearing and call for motion. 00:08:32
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt resolution #25-01-02. 00:08:38
And I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Motion carries unanimous item 2B 00:08:45
Information Discussion Action to Adopt ordinance #2025-02, which authorizes an amendment to the Yuba County zoning map for 00:08:52
unincorporated areas of Healer County, Arizona, by changing the zoning for assessors. 00:09:00
Parcel number 30119119 C located at Section 36, Township 12 N, Range 08 E, Pine, AZ Currently designated as transitional 00:09:09
residential district. TR to add a trailer District T overlay. Randy. In January 2022, the applicant received approval from the 00:09:17
Hilo County Board Supervisor to rezone. 00:09:26
Case number REZONP. 00:09:36
2109001 and Ordinance number 202-2012 rezone the rear portion of APN 30119019 L. 00:09:39
Now 301119 C from residential one density 12 to TR district and see below. The zoning change was intended to allow for the 00:09:52
construction of 16 one bedroom cabins, horse corrals and a managers quarters. One of the conditions of approval for this rezoning 00:10:02
was that all development improvements must be completed within four years. 00:10:11
The applicant has decided to proceed with the project that is now proposed in developing the property with 29 park models 00:10:21
requiring the trailer district overlay to be added to the current traditional residential zoning. The proposed development would 00:10:31
be similar to the Pine Creek Resort located West of this parcel, the proposed transitional residential district for the T overlay. 00:10:40
Will permit the proposed park model development. 00:10:50
Subject to the approval of development plan and site plan, currently there is one. We have received one call, one e-mail opposed 00:10:53
and we've received one e-mail in support. None of them are within the 300 feet. 00:11:01
PNC voted on this and approved on a six to one vote per the applicant. The portion of the parcel, the Borders Hwy. 87 and Old 00:11:10
Country Rd. would have a six foot concrete wall similar to the rim side village to the north, which would be a six foot opaque 00:11:17
fence with two gates for fire ingress and egress. The entrance to the property would be existing driveway and services of the Pine 00:11:24
Creek Resort. 00:11:32
A lot line adjustment will be made with the property to the South to accommodate the sanitary system. A well has been drilled in 00:11:39
the northwest corner of the property with a 20 gallons per minute pump. The location of the sanitary facilities and the drainage 00:11:47
would be subject to the engineering and county approval. 00:11:54
APS Company and Pine Strawberry Water District access are on the property lines. A fire hydrant is also located at the corner of 00:12:04
highway. 00:12:08
And Old Country Rd. Arizona Revised Statutes. 00:12:14
11 two 5105 ordinance states that prior to adoption, amendment or repeal of any ordinance under the section of board of supervised 00:12:20
shall be hold a public hearing there on at least 15 days notice, which was shall be given to the public in a newspaper or general 00:12:27
circulation. Legal ads were published on 12/17 12:18 in the Patient Roundup in the Silver Belt respectively. The posting was 00:12:35
completed on 12/20. 00:12:42
Staff sent property owners within the 300 federal radius of the subject product notification of the applicants request. The 00:12:49
applicant held a neighborhood meeting on September 24th, 2024 to discuss the proposed rezoning. Mr. Pegle, 18 attendees were at 00:12:58
the neighborhood meeting. One resident was concerned that more residents would walk or would walk to see the Creek. 00:13:06
20 properties are within the 300 foot radius. 00:13:16
The subject property, community development and staff had received one phone call again and one e-mail and the concern was 00:13:20
increased traffic. The intent to the purpose of the TEA overlay is to combine with certain other uses and densities for the 00:13:28
purpose of permitting mobile manufactured home developments. This would include park models. In reviewing the rezoning application 00:13:35
for a recommendation, staff considers Arizona State statutes. 00:13:43
HeLa County Zoning Ordinance and the Copper Hampton's master plan. The current and proposed land use of the property, adjacent 00:13:50
zoning, public comments and other Hill County Department requirements. Whether the land use would be compatible and harmonious 00:13:56
with the neighboring uses. 00:14:01
No deed restrictions were found on this property and per ARS 11814, a all rezoning is adopted under the Article shall be 00:14:08
consistent and informed to the adopted comprehensive plan in the case. 00:14:15
And then certainly it is considered to applying conformity of any part of the closed rezoning to the adopted comprehensive plan. 00:14:22
APN 3/01/19 1:19 C falls within the multifunctional corridor in Hilo County's comprehensive Master Plan. The multifunction 00:14:32
corridor category denotes areas of the county that are located adjacent to primary trans or transportation routes and where a 00:14:40
mixture of land uses are desirable based on the specific location characteristics of the land. 00:14:48
Staff CONCLUSION Based on the application review, the land use appears to be compatible and harmonious with the neighboring uses 00:14:57
and the proposed rezoning components with the comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval to the Board of Shipwrites for the 00:15:05
rezoning request. There are three conditions. The Hill County Planning Zoning Commission at a duly notice public hearing, voted 00:15:12
6-1 to recommend approval of the adherence to the conditions of approval. The owner of the subject property of a. 00:15:20
3/01/19 1:19 C Must apply with all requirements for the transitional residential and the trailer overlay per Aris Revised Statues 00:15:27
11/14 I The border may approve a change of zoning conditions on a schedule for development of the specific use and uses of the 00:15:35
rezoning if the owner of three O 1/1/19 C fails to proceed with the development of the proposed park model development within 24 00:15:42
months. 00:15:49
Heal the County may schedule a public hearing. 00:15:57
Which may revert the rezoning on the property to its former zoning classification. The owner of the three 01/1/19 C reserves the 00:16:00
right to apply for an extension. It is responsibility the owner of the subject property to obtain all necessary federal, state, 00:16:08
county and local permits as may be required. If everyone's not sure, this is properties. 00:16:16
Basically South of the hardware store, it is next to Mr. Fuegel's current. 00:16:25
Park model subdivision. And if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer. Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:16:32
I, I have no questions. I I'm all for infrastructure as long as it's done right. And so thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:16:41
Well, Randy, the only question I would have is why would we put a four year time limit on getting it to meet the requirements of 00:16:48
the TR that had the four year, we were adding two years and had a four year that that had to be developed. And so we're, they have 00:16:56
two years left basically on that so. 00:17:03
Speaking with the attorney, they didn't want to violate the requirements of the four year prior. So we have the two year time 00:17:11
limit of that he needs to get it developed. So would they be able to get an extension if they need specifically, we wrote that 00:17:17
specifically in here that it says. 00:17:22
The owner of 3/01/19 1:19 She reserves the right to apply for an extension of time in the event of uncontrollable problems. OK, 00:17:34
thank you. 00:17:39
Thank you, Randy. And so this would add even more of an answer to the affordable housing crisis that we seem to be facing. So. 00:17:45
And we do have Mr. Pueblo here with us today if we have any questions for him or if you'd like to make a comment. But at this 00:17:57
time, I'll close our discussion and open it up for the public hearing. Is there anyone here in code that wishes to speak on that? 00:18:05
Would you like to say a few words? 00:18:13
OK, 2020 words. Pick them carefully just to address a couple of concerns of. 00:18:16
People. 00:18:25
This was met, this project was meant favorably because of actually to have less traffic. These are not rentals daily or weekly 00:18:27
rentals. We prohibit that. So that helps us to keep our properties neat and clean just like Pine Creek Resort. So there is no 00:18:35
daily, weekly, any rentals at all. It's owner occupied. 00:18:43
And the other concern of people on the last zoning was that we would. 00:18:53
Have horses there. Of course, we will not have that now. So OK, if there's any other questions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, 00:18:59
Ray. And so is there anyone else here? If not, then is there anyone on the Internet? Cassandra? No. And Lisa, do we have anyone 00:19:05
wishes to speak? 00:19:11
Very good. So with that, I will close the public hearing and call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt ordinance 00:19:21
#2025-02. 00:19:26
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries 00:19:32
unanimous. Thank you. All right, moving on to item number three, our regular agenda items. 3A information, discussion, action to 00:19:39

There were two F2, Ford F-150 S, 2 Ford F22, Ford F-2150I apologize, 1 Ford F-250 and 2 Ford F-350 chassis cabs. Only one bid was 00:23:32
received. 00:23:39
By courtesy Ford here in Globe the 2 Ford F1 Fifties. 00:23:49
Are for the Public Works Administration and Engineering and the Warren Ford F-250 and F-350 chassis cabs are for the Roads 00:23:55
Department. With the purchase of these five vehicles, Public Works will be trickling down 1F-250 from Public Works Administration 00:24:02
into the roads fleet and Will and the road fleet will be turning in eight vehicles that are all older than 10 years of age and 00:24:09
have at least a minimum of 130,000 miles on them. 00:24:16
These vehicles will be replaced and the next available auction. 00:24:23
I'd be happy to answer any questions or provide any further details at this time. Thank you, David. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no 00:24:27
question. Supervisor Klein. David, thank you. I'm glad at least the local got the bids and we always, we always try to include 00:24:33
them. You know, whether they do or have the lowest bid is on them, but we like to have them involved still. Good to see you. Thank 00:24:39
you. 00:24:45
Thank you, David. 00:24:52
I don't think that was a clap of Thunder, so don't. 00:24:56
I'll call for a motion, Mr. Chair. I'll make the motion to award a contract to courtesy Ford of Globe in the amount of $335,160.94 00:25:00
in response to the invitation for bids number 082424. 00:25:09
Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that the motion and the second to approve those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, David. Thank you. Right. We 00:25:18
want item 3C, information to sector discussion action to review all bids submitted for informal bids request number 100424, the 00:25:26
Russell Gulch Landfill Fill sequence plan and award a contract to the lowest, most responsive, responsible and qualified bidder. 00:25:33
Good morning, Melanie. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. 00:25:40
Supervisors, this is a request for informal bid to a contract award request for the fill sequence plan for the Russell Gulch 00:25:48
landfill. On October 7th we emailed 6 contractors. The bids were due on October 18th. The rest of Gold timefill expansion cell 3A 00:25:55
was completed in November. The rest of those landfill is a unique has a very unique shape and it's actually like half of the 00:26:02
landfill and. 00:26:09
The Russell Gulch Landfill Sell 3B project, which would be completing the landfill sell, will be completed in 2032. 00:26:16
Recycling Landfill Management contracted with Blue Ridge Services back in April. 00:26:24
And we did a gap assessment there to kind of evaluate the landfill and see what we needed to do. And one of the findings during 00:26:31
the gap assessment was a fill sequence plan. So what a fill sequence plan does is it takes all of the unique situations that the 00:26:36
landfill has and it's almost like a an engineered plan that they can follow day-to-day on where the trash should go, where the 00:26:42
roads are going to go, how we're going to get people in and out of the landfill. 00:26:48
And kind of take that burden off of them to where they're just really operating the equipment and moving the trash around and 00:26:54
following the plan. 00:26:58
This contract is a is a three-year contract. The first year is $20,000 where they would they would take all of the surveys of the 00:27:03
landfill, unique situations, formulate a plan and then after that after, so it's a six steps are in six months. So they give us a 00:27:11
six months, 6 month plan at a time. We they'd reevaluate the landfill, go for the next six months and then it's over three years. 00:27:18
Where we can really have a. 00:27:26
You know, a handle on the landfill and once it comes up to elevation, it gets a little bit easier, but being down in that, in 00:27:29
that, that hole before it meets the, the level of where the the base grade is, it's, it's really, really challenging so. 00:27:37
OK, so these are the challenges. Recycling and landfill management is committed to operating efficiently utilizing all airspace 00:27:48
and we definitely want to extend the life of our land. So we accepted still bids on October 18th. There was 2 competitive bids 00:27:55
received and the lowest most qualified was SCS Engineering for $40,000. It's the recommended recommendation of Healer County 00:28:01
Public Works. 00:28:07
To award IVR number 100424 Russell Bulge Landfill Filthy Friends plans SCS Engineering in the amount of $40,000. 00:28:14
Thank you, Donnie. Supervisor Humphrey? Yeah, I guess that 40,000 is that for a year? That's the entire contract for three years. 00:28:24
The entire contract for three years. OK, No further questions. Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you. So, Melanie, just so that I 00:28:31
understand better, this is to help. 00:28:38
Save space or is it to help save labor or both? So it's going to utilize all of our airspace efficiently. 00:28:47
And I guess it kind of helps with labor because what it does is it just gives them a clear plan of what we're gonna do. They 00:28:56
follow the engineered plan. And so it kinda takes the guessing out of where where should we put the roads? So it's all set up for 00:29:04
them and they just follow it. It's almost like building a house and looking at blueprints. OK. Yeah. All right. Thank you. With 00:29:11
that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. I've moved to award a contract to SCS engineers. 00:29:19
The amount of $40,000 in response to Informal bid request number 10042. 00:29:26
And I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Melanie. 00:29:34
Item 3D Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment number one to Service Agreement number 060424, the Control Rd. Roadway 00:29:42
Improvement Project with Perkins Centers Incorporated, adding $22,114.71 to the contract for a total contract amount of 00:29:51
$1,090,184.90, which will cover the cost of the change orders. 00:30:00
Associated with the additional work. 00:30:10
Good morning, Alex. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Board of Supervisors. So as you know, back in September, I came before you and 00:30:12
presented the Control Rd. improvement project to awards Perkins Cinders. 00:30:18
What I didn't realize at the time was how financing works between the agreement between the Forest Service and us, so I did not 00:30:24
include a contingency in the original. 00:30:29
Proposals I brought before you. Because of that, we did have one change order for $22,114.71, which will now have to be ratified 00:30:35
by the board before service is paying 100% of this project and they've already agreed to this change order. So this is just making 00:30:41
sure that we do things the right way. 00:30:48
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:30:55
No questions. Thank you. Appreciate Supervisor Klein. Alex, thank you. So the four source is going to pay this, this, this change 00:30:59
order and everything anyway. 00:31:04
So we'll make that mistake again. Thank you. That's OK. Nothing's ever easy. 00:31:09
With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment number one to Service Agreement number 060. 00:31:23
4/24 as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:31:31
Item 3 E Information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of invitation for bids number 121024, the Monroe St. 00:31:40
Construction project. Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Board. So as you know, a year ago, I came before you with Stantec to 00:31:47
discuss the design options that we were considering from Monroe St. We ended up receiving those design options and then we tried 00:31:55
to combine that project with the repaving of the parking. 00:32:02
For the courthouse complex here. And it turned out to just be, too. 00:32:10
There was too many irons in the fire to address both at the same time. So what we're doing is we're splitting the back into two 00:32:16
projects. And so this is the request to go out forbid for construction for the Monroe St. project. Again, that's lowering Monroe 00:32:22
St. as you approach 7th St. there, paving the lower Ferraro building parking lot and then making two one way streets up to the 00:32:28
middle and upper parking lots. 00:32:34
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:32:42
You know, back to pretty much the original plan. Yes, yeah, good. I'm glad to see us moving forward because that road is 00:32:44
deteriorating on both sides and it just keeps getting narrower. So and traveling it every day it it's not a great Rd. So thank you 00:32:50
for for moving this forward. 00:32:57
OK, Supervisor Klein. I'm good, Alex. Thank you. Yeah, I'm good too. Hopefully. Actually, it might come out a little less 00:33:04
expensive doing it. 00:33:08
Woken up like that, I don't know. 00:33:12
We'll see. But thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call forbid motion. I moved to authorize the advertisement an invitation for bid 00:33:14
number 120124 and I'll second that motion and the second to approve those in favor say aye aye. Thank you, Alex. Item 3F. 00:33:24
Information Discussion Action to adopt resolution #25-01-01, which authorizes the submission of a Smart State Match Advantage for 00:33:36
Rural Transportation Funds grant application to pave the Young Rd. Mr. Goodman. Good morning, Mr. Chairman and board members. So 00:33:44
we know that Wahila County paving that section of Young Rd. is a high priority in in Public Works has been working on it. 00:33:53
We had the the. 00:34:03
USDA funded grant that got us the EA which will be completed in March and that also took the project to 60% plans. So to move 00:34:06
forward to get 100% plans we have are going to apply for a SMART grant and we've asked for 500. We are going to ask for $530,000 00:34:14
for the SMART grant and Heila County will contribute 150,000. 00:34:23
Brings the total to 680,000. We think that will cover. 00:34:32
The the rest of the design to get it to 100%. 00:34:36
So this resolution just simply authorizes Huma County to go ahead and apply for this smart grid. 00:34:41
Through a dot and then if we're awarded it, a dot will take over and administer that design project for us. So I'll be happy to 00:34:49
answer any questions. 00:34:54
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. I think it's a great project, you know, going back and forth on that road. My question would be, 00:35:00
and you don't have to answer it, I wonder what the speed limit is going to be on that one. It's paid because it's a it's a pretty 00:35:06
crazy Rd. But no, I I think it's a great project and and it'd be a good deal. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. You're familiar with 00:35:12
this road? Yeah, kind of. How about we just give it to the state and just call it a day? 00:35:19
Yeah. So Tom, the question I would have on this. So we get it up there to work. 00:35:27
Then 100% design and so then once we hit that stage that design is good from now on we will not ever have to go back and redo 00:35:34
anything on that design yeah, if it sits for several years, we may want to take another look at it before we. 00:35:42
Go out to for construction, but yeah it that'll give us 100% plans specifications engineers cost analysis it's a bid ready package 00:35:52
find the construction funding will take it right out for contract. So I think that's really great you know my. 00:36:02
My worry is always, you know, if the government's gonna get their updates on the analysis all done and all that to where maybe we 00:36:13
can move forward when these days we're getting something done. I've seen a lot of studies done on that road just to turn around 00:36:20
and redo them, you know, And so, so that was just my big, big question on this. 00:36:26
You know, good morning, Board, Good morning, Chairman. Board, the question was is, is this just. 00:36:36
Authorization to submit the grant and it's actually more than that. It's a commitment on our part to contribute our our local 00:36:46
share our the share that that Tom presented. It's also a commitment for us to apply for a grant within a very short time after the 00:36:51
design is complete. 00:36:56
And a federal grant to get the rope done. So the design that we're talking about here, that Tom is talking about is the actual 00:37:02
design for the road. It's not the cultural assessment, it's not the biological. It is where you going to put the coverage? What, 00:37:08
what's the thickness of the pavement? What do you have? And that design should be good for a long time. The engineers, when they 00:37:14
prepare the design, they also prepare a cost estimate. Now, the cost estimate, if we take three years to build a road needs to be 00:37:20
done. 00:37:26
The design itself should pass the test of time, and they shouldn't have to change overtime. I just wanted to share their 00:37:33
commitments as we move forward because on the SMART grant, that's very important to ADOT. And so it needs to be important to us as 00:37:39
well that we make a firm commitment to apply for a grant. In the case we don't, we have to return this money. Thank you, Homer. 00:37:45
Yeah. 00:37:51
Tom So I remember something about a 400, some $1000 toward this. 00:37:58
Design phase that came from Senator Kelly, if I remember right, is that part of the 680 or is that 680 in addition to the 400? 00:38:03
This is an addition. So this will the 472,000 that got us to 60% plans and will complete the environmental assessment and that's 00:38:11
currently underway and and we'll be wrapping up in March. 00:38:19
OK, very good. Thanks. Alright, so with that I will ask for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #2501 Dash 00:38:27
01. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. Thank you, Tom. Thank you. All right, let's 00:38:34
move on to. 00:38:41
3G information discussion action to approve a delegation agreement number EV24-0016 with the Arizona Department of Environmental 00:38:49
Quality to accept functions of ADQ statutes, rules and policies for the water quality and solid waste management functions and 00:38:57
duties. Good morning, Paula. I hear Josh. 00:39:05
Is under the weather. 00:39:15
Yes, Yeah. OK. I'm glad to see you here. Thank you, Chairman, Members of the Board today I brought with me one of our many experts 00:39:16
in case you have questions, Ryan Plucky's Environmental Health Specialist Manager. So, but I believe that this agreement has been 00:39:26
in effect for several years and there are only 7 items that were changed throughout the process of getting this upgraded into. 00:39:35
To this year, this will allow us to have the local agency ability to enforce these functions that ADEQ has in place. So which 00:39:46
means it'll be more timely, local agency will actually be able to respond quicker to any citizens that need and we can also any of 00:39:54
the complaints will be enforced so. 00:40:02
It's just a great way to actually bring this. 00:40:11
This authority to the local level. So we're asking that you do approve this delegation and allow us to continue to to enforce it 00:40:15
till 2050. So 25 years. OK, great. Thank you for that. Supervisor. I have no question, Supervisor Klein. 00:40:24
So, Paula, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm looking at this and you know, it's to accept functions of adequate statutes, rules and policies 00:40:36
for water and solid waste. 00:40:41
So it's something as simple as like our our water test that we have to have done and things like that, you guys will now be able 00:40:47
to do that. 00:40:51
I see a head shake on one side. 00:40:56
Wastewater systems to permit do construction authorizations and to protect the aquifers, that's what they want in there. And then 00:41:00
it's for the solid waste. So we will inspect the trucks that that pick up the waste like and take it to the dump. And so we will 00:41:07
be doing, we'll be doing those processes that we've always been doing. There's not an increase in services. It's pretty much my 00:41:13
team will be doing the same thing and the services to the community will be the same as what we are already doing. 00:41:20
Really the changes in this are in reporting, they're in, you know, timelines of the states ability to assess whether we're meeting 00:41:28
our. 00:41:32
Our goals and that they have given us and those kind of things that the duties are really reason the same. 00:41:37
So. 00:41:44
So right now community development, Randy, you guys do like. 00:41:45
Perk tests and things like that. 00:41:51
Right. 00:41:54
I guess I'm trying to draw the line. Who's who's doing what? Well, I, I as the environmental health manager, my wastewater part of 00:41:56
my job is under Randy and the restaurants and the other, the property cleanups and stuff is under the health department. So I kind 00:42:01
of work for both departments. I'm sorry. Thank you. 00:42:07
OK. OK. Maybe I'll I'll sort it out eventually. Thank you. I'm good. Thank you. OK, I have no questions. So with that I'll call 00:42:15
for a motion. 00:42:20
To adopt Arizona Department of Environmental Quality delegation agreement number EB24-0016AS and I'll second that motion and a 00:42:26
second to approve all those in favor say aye, aye, thank you. I think we have one more for you. 00:42:36
Item 3H Information discussion Action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of the Delta. 00:42:47
Dental of Arizona Foundation Grant application to expand the Oral Health program and accept the grant award in the amount of 00:42:55
$30,000 for the period of February 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 by having the Board Chairman electronically signed the grant 00:43:01
acceptance document. 00:43:07
Chairman, thank you very much. Members of the Board, we actually did have a grant with Delta Dental, not this last year, but the 00:43:15
year previously. And this is the grant that actually allows our oral health program to do all the children. So we do have a few 00:43:22
different grants that are like cavity free and they must be second graders, they must be certain age limits on them and 00:43:30
eligibility. This grant there are no age limits or eligibility determinations. So it does allow us to. 00:43:37
More children because you don't never want to go into a school and only provide services for second graders, you know, because 00:43:45
you're missing the 3rd and the 4th graders that never did receive the screenings and those grades that are actually required. So 00:43:52
this is a great opportunity for them to continue to provide those extra services. So at our oral health program wants to continue 00:44:00
to thrive. So and they are welcomed in all the schools. So very good. Thank you for that. Yeah, thank you, supervisor. 00:44:07
No questions. It was a great program. So is this enough money to cover everyone? No, it is not OK. Yeah, we take and this is 00:44:15
probably one of the smaller grants we did just receive. You just approved it. Last time was San Carlos, so we can use a few and we 00:44:22
have Freeport, so we have a few. She has a few different pots to go ahead and some are for outreach and some are for actual direct 00:44:28
services. So. 00:44:35
I think the way that we're kind of working it is to have one large pot with several little ones in between that's actually making 00:44:43
it work. 00:44:46
So and I know that we are going to be providing a work session on the oral health because we kind of want you to see how it's 00:44:50
looking in the schools and the outcomes that we have had. And I know that is one thing that Josh and Trisha have been discussing 00:44:59
was bringing it to you as a work because these are one year grants. So that's only going to be a drop in the bucket going forward. 00:45:07
And with no pediatric dentist in this area. 00:45:16
It's important that these services continue so and we're we're glad to continue to look for grants, but oral health is not 00:45:20
actually one of the largest, you know, they don't give a lot of money for that. 00:45:27
Thank you. Thank you, Paul Watson. It's vital to have good oral health and so thanks for reaching out for that. With that, I will 00:45:35
call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of the Delta 00:45:41
Dental of Arizona Foundation grant application. 00:45:47
To expand the Oral Health program and accept the grant award in the amount of $30,000 as presented. 00:45:55
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. All right, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you very 00:46:02
much. Thank you. Have a good day. Alright, item three. I information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of requests 00:46:09
for proposal number 12022024, the Copper Corridor Light reduction, US Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Justice 00:46:16
Government to government program grant consultant. 00:46:23
Well, that make a great acronym. 00:46:31
The. 00:46:36
Thank you, Mary. Thank you, Mr. Chair, Supervisor, client supervisor Humphrey. 00:46:39
I've got Amy State in here with me from our grants division. Amy has worked tirelessly to get this put together and to navigate 00:46:45
all of the. 00:46:51
Nuances of NEPA. 00:46:57
I think that's the politically correct term that we use now for for that right nuances. 00:47:00
So if you have any questions, Amy's happy to answer those. We've had great success with the existing copper quarter blockbusters 00:47:07
plant and that's opened the door for this opportunity for our community and our constituents. 00:47:15
Very good. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Oh, I think it's a great thing, Blights one of my things that I fight. So thank you 00:47:23
very much for anything we can do, any funding that we can get to help fight that is very much appreciated by the neighbors that 00:47:30
live next to some of these people that we need to help. 00:47:37
Supervisor Klein. 00:47:45
You know, thank you, ladies, Amy, especially Kathy, Melvin, a whole group of you that's that's really took this and and put it 00:47:47
forward and you know, this was all kind of kicked off and started when we wrapped up that hotel down there and and Winkelman. 00:47:56
You know, with the state helping and everything like that and it it encompasses enough area and big enough grant and everything 00:48:06
that these ladies, the group has been able to do some awesome things with it and hopefully it'll continue and we can see more. 00:48:14
More getting done, I guess, so thank you. Thank you all. You too, Kathy. 00:48:23
Yes, thank you, all of you for all the hard work you put in for this. It's interesting that we create our own blight. You know, we 00:48:30
build something and then we let it deteriorate into a blight situation and then we got to pay to clean it all up. So it's 00:48:36
interesting to me. So with that, I'll call for motion. 00:48:42
Mr. Chair, I move to authorize the advertisement for Request for Proposal number 12022024, and I'll second that motion and a 00:48:48
second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you, ladies. And Marin, we have another one for you here. 3J 00:48:57
information, discussion, action to adopt revised policy number B, OS-F I N-116. 00:49:05
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System funding to reflect the updated actuarial valuation as of June 30th, 2024 and instruct 00:49:14
staff take action as directed by the Board of Supervisors. 00:49:20
Pertaining to the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount of $47,232 in the Adult Detention 503 Trust Fund, that actually does 00:49:27
have an acronym, but it's no easier, it's the UAAL. 00:49:35
So, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein, every year since 2019, we've been required by the state to revise and re 00:49:46
adopt this policy. BOSFIN 116. 00:49:53
It pertains to how we are committed to the funding levels in our PSPRS retirement system. As you're all aware, we took out a 00:50:01
budget revenue bond to fully fund the PSPRS. 00:50:10
Obligation. 00:50:19
At this time due to. 00:50:21
Salary increases and staff turnover. We have a small unfunded actuarial liability in our adult detention fund 503 following fiscal 00:50:25
year 2024. So we're here today with two purposes. First is so that the Board can adopt the existing policy or the revised policy 00:50:34
which shows what the current funding ratios are at the end of 2024. 00:50:43
Kathy, can you pull that up? 00:50:53
Should be attached. 00:50:54
The first one, FY25 revision. And then if you can scroll, maybe zoom in at the trust fund part at the bottom, OK? That way our 00:50:57
constituents and the audience can see. So there are three separate funds as you can see here, Sheriff's Office, adult detention 00:51:04
and dispatchers. And we should have Clark Partridge on the phone from PSPRS in case you have any questions that, Mister, I can't 00:51:11
answer. 00:51:17
As you can see, two of our funds. 00:51:26
Have more than 100% funding. We have 101.98% for the Sheriff's Office and 110.29% for our dispatchers. So the one that we're here 00:51:28
to ask for your guidance and action on is the adult attention, which is currently only funded at the 99.54%. And when Mr. Menlov 00:51:38
and I reached out to PSPRS to find out what our options are so that we can share those with you. 00:51:48
The board has three options today. Option one is to do nothing and just see what the actuarial liability becomes next year. Option 00:51:59
2 is to fully fund this $47,232 and with that we would work with PSPRS to get them to issue us an invoice, we would write them a 00:52:07
check and we would be 100% funded. 00:52:15
The third option is that we could fund the 47232 and. 00:52:24
Determine an additional amount that the Board so desired. So we wanted to bring that to you today as soon as we were aware of it 00:52:30
so that you could take action as you choose and so that our policy can be updated so that we're in compliance with state statute. 00:52:39
Thank you, Madam. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:52:49
Yeah. I, I, I would think that just getting us up to 100% would be. 00:52:52
My my interest at this point rather than try to predict the future and interest rates and all that kind of things because it 00:52:59
changes daily much less yearly. So I would think if we just my opinion, if we settled to where we need to be today and then just 00:53:07
see what interest rates and things do within a year would be my $0.02 worth. 00:53:15
OK, Thank you. So Supervisor Klein. 00:53:23
Yeah, I'm, I'm on the same boat. I, I think doing nothing isn't an option. I, I like, I like at least being at that 100% just just 00:53:27
in case and and then we'll see what next year brings. So yeah. 00:53:34
Thank you. I feel the same. But why can't we take some of the excess that we've paid? I presume that's not an option because 00:53:43
because these funds are set aside for the individual participants, we can't we can't move them around. They are designated as is. 00:53:53
Yes, understand. So when we get an excess amount like we're at 110% on one, do we cut back on those payments or do we just. 00:54:03
Kind of let that ride. We just let it ride, OK, And we pay it off sooner that way. 00:54:13
Maybe so we're paying it off sooner in a separate vehicle, right? Because because you all had the foresight to take out that that 00:54:19
bond five years ago that let us pay off our obligation to PSPRS. And this creates a cushion so that if there's turnover or if 00:54:28
there's salary increases like the STEP program that you all adopted for our deputies and detention. 00:54:38
This allows that to have less impact so we don't have to pay in more as we're going along. Adult detention this year just happened 00:54:48
to to fluctuate like this. And when Mr. Menlove and I were on the phone with PSPRS, the first thing that they said and they asked 00:54:56
us to make sure we passed this on to you is to make sure that you are aware that Gila County is practicing excellent management 00:55:03
and foresight and even having this conversation. 00:55:10
That we grabbed the reports, looked at them and brought this to you immediately instead of just letting it sit there is a 00:55:18
reflection of your leadership and, and your stewardship of these resources. I apologize for not starting with that. I, I had meant 00:55:24
to, but Clark Partridge and his colleagues were, were very glad that we called them up and said, hey, what do we do about this? 00:55:30
And you know, they hadn't even gotten that far down their list yet to say, hey, we should call you the county. So we, we got them 00:55:36
first. So it was very helpful. 00:55:42
And the report, for better or for worse, are all attached. They are about this big, so if you'd like to see a different summary, 00:55:49
we're of course willing to bring whatever other information would be helpful to you for future consideration. 00:55:57
I appreciate that. Thank you very much. With that, I don't have any more, so I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion 00:56:07
to adopt revised policy number BOSF IN-11. I'll 2nd that. I have a motion of a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:56:15
Mr. Albo, do we need a second motion or separate motion to go ahead and fund that shortfall or was that already covered at least a 00:56:27
separate motion for that? OK. So I'll make the motion that we go ahead and fund the shortfall up to 100%, OK. 00:56:35
I'll check. 00:56:44
OK. We have a motion and a second to fund that to 100%. 00:56:46
Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:56:51
All right, let's move on to Item 3, Tag information discussion action to appoint the following individuals to the Board of 00:56:57
Directors of the Industrial Development Authority of of the County of Gila, Arizona as follows. And we're going to reappoint 00:57:06
Mickey and I and Marvin Mall retroactive for the term of office that begins on January 1st, 2025 through December 31, 2030. 00:57:14
And appoint Matthew Storms beginning on January 7th, 2025 to December 31st, 2028. And this item is involves both Supervisor 00:57:24
Humphrey and Supervisor Klein. So Supervisor Humphrey. 00:57:34
Yeah, I have no questions. I, you know, I think I'm the one that's reappointing Mickey and I and I have a lot of respect for him 00:57:45
and, and I just hope that the Ida can get rolling here at some point in time. And it seems like we have had some members lost. And 00:57:53
so I, I think I still need to appoint someone and have not as of yet. 00:58:00
And but anyway, that, that's all I have. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Yeah, I, I've worked with Mickey and I for quite a while 00:58:09
there, since I've been in office basically, and. 00:58:14
And Marvin Mole, I know him very well from out there. San Carlos and the good guy. And so, yeah. 00:58:21
OK. I'm good. All right. Thank you. And I'll just make a comment that I have two positions to appoint myself and I'm struggling 00:58:27
quite a bit to find someone. 00:58:32
Or two people so. 00:58:38
I will accept suggestions. Did I don't? If I may, Mr. Chair and James, you have to refresh in my memory, but it's not bound by 00:58:41
district, is it? I mean, you can reach across district lines and and and and pull out whoever, whoever's interested actually. 00:58:50
Great. So if that occurs and their suggestions run them through our county manager, that would be helpful for me. 00:59:00
And I also have a great respect for Matt Storm. 00:59:10
He said OK. 00:59:13
Very good, good guy. We need to get those positions filled, so I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to reappoint Mickey and I 00:59:17
and Marvin Mall to the board of directors of the Industrial Development Authority, Ida and appoint Matt Storm as presented. And 00:59:25
I'll second that a motion to 2nd to approve those in favor say aye aye. Item 3L information, discussion action to authorize the 00:59:32
chairman of the Board of Supervisors to sign the. 00:59:40
2024 State and local cybersecurity grant program. Local consent agreement as it pertains to federal numbers of funding 00:59:47
opportunity. DHS-24 Dash GPD Dash 137-00-99 and to Initial Option 2 Consenting to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security 00:59:57
undertaking action in accordance with the SLCGP. 01:00:06
And we have merit again, thank you, Mr. Chair. 01:00:16
Kathy, can we open the attachment that let's see? 01:00:18
I'm sorry, this is a terribly long agenda item, just the first one there. Thank you. Okay, so the attachment on this is enormous 01:00:25
because it includes a federal notice of funding, which you may be familiar is the new mandatory approach that the federal 01:00:32
government is taking on other grant opportunities. 01:00:39
The nuts and bolts of this boils down to the state of Arizona Department of Homeland Security is the states authorized 01:00:48
representative for the state and local cyber security grant program and what they've asked us to do. They being the state 01:00:57
Department of Homeland Security is asking Gila County to complete and submit this form that says that we are consenting to. 01:01:07
Their application for this federal funding, they need our form by next Wednesday in order for them to submit to the feds and the 01:01:18
two options that they've given us here. Option one says we do not consent to them retaining our portion of the funding as per 01:01:26
federal fiscal year 2024. 01:01:34
SLC, GP and that instead we would prefer to receive pass through funding. 01:01:42
If we choose that option, we have a 30% match requirement on that. 01:01:49
If we choose option 2, which? 01:01:56
Is a little bit longer here. The state Department of Homeland Security would apply for this federal funding, would get their 01:01:59
statewide cybersecurity program approved by the federal government and would loop us into that cybersecurity program. And then the 01:02:08
services that they would provide to us are listed on the screen, both for the audience and our constituents. 01:02:17
The state of Arizona's share of this funding? 01:02:27
Is $5,032,682 and in the attachments, if anybody's interested, is the breakout of all 56 allocations that the Fed has made. 01:02:30
Of that $5 million figure, the state Homeland Security would be investing up to 1.1 million in Project One, which are cyber 01:02:44
security software licenses. 01:02:50
Project 2 is 2 and a half million for 24/7 365 centralized State Security Operations Center. 01:02:57
And then Project 3 is 1.1 million for Project 3, which is professional managed services to support the statewide cyber readings 01:03:08
program. 01:03:14
If we choose option two, there is no cost to heal accounting, whereas if we chose option one, we would have a 30% match and we 01:03:22
would have to do all these programs ourselves. So staff would advocate for option 2, but it is up to the Board of Supervisors. 01:03:30
Whether option one or two is preferred choice in either instance, we do need to provide this form signed to Homeland Security by 01:03:39
next week. 01:03:45
Thank you, Mayor and Supervisor Humphrey. 01:03:53
Huh. 01:03:56
I have no question, Supervisor Klein, it sounds to me like we'll probably have to lean on you guys. And it does sound like to me 01:03:59
like option 2 is the better option. So I when it comes to cyber security and all that, I mean. 01:04:07
It's above me motto. 01:04:16
So that's that's yeah, I guess I don't have any questions. Thank you. 01:04:20
OK, very good. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the the Board Chairman to sign the 01:04:26
FY20 24 State and Local Cyber Security Grant Program local consent agreement as it pertains to Federal notice of funding 01:04:36
Opportunity DHS-24 Dash GPD 137-009-99. 01:04:46
And to Initial Option 2, consenting to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security undertaking action in accordance with the SLCGP 01:04:56
as presented. 01:05:02
I'll second that motion in a second to approve those in favor say aye aye, very good, thank you very much. Option 2 it is. 01:05:10
We are now proceeding to our item 4 consent agenda action items. I will ask each supervisor whether they would like to remove one 01:05:21
or more of those items for additional discussion and separate vote. We have items 4A through K Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I I have 01:05:28
questions on Jay and. 01:05:35
J&K All right, well, it's the same thing. Just to give them a month. 01:05:44
OK, so, uh. 01:05:51
I will entertain a motion to remove consent agenda items for J&K to be discussed separately. Let's add C to it. 01:05:53
CCC OK. All right, so after input from all the supervisors for C4J and 4K will be removed from the consent agenda items to be 01:06:05
discussed separately. All those in favor. We have a motion to do that, right? That's so moved. Yeah. Yes. OK. You want to make a 01:06:14
motion? Yeah. Yeah. OK. I move to approve consent agenda items. 01:06:23
A through Z except CJ and K to be removed. 01:06:33
OK, the motion is to approve the consent agenda items. You can do it in that order, Mr. ABDEFGHNI. Then we OK, we have a motion 01:06:39
and a second to approve those particular consent agenda items. Those in favor say aye, aye. 01:06:48
All right, then let's go to item 4C for separate discussion, which is approval of the following appointments to the Northern HeLa 01:06:58
County Range Commission. Appoint Brian Havey for the term beginning January 7th, 2025 through December 31st, 2026 and reappoint 01:07:06
Mark Hines retroactively for the term of office that began on January 1, 2025 through December 31st, 2027. Supervisor Klein. Yeah, 01:07:13
thank you. I, I. 01:07:20
Brian Heavy and and everything that they're they're good people. It's good. What what my question is is. 01:07:28
That's basically, and Joe, you may remember this from back in the day, but that was that Commission was put together to oversee 01:07:36
the shooting range in Payson, right? 01:07:40
The supervisor representing District 1 and you've received that property from the federal government with the agreement that even 01:07:48
county would manage the point board or Commission to oversee itself. OK, so I guess my question is because I I didn't. 01:07:56
I guess I didn't really think about it or realized we had a Commission with those people on there. But there's also a nonprofit 01:08:06
part to that shooting range as well, right? 01:08:11
Provides a lot of the upkeep and maintenance for the thing and operates it on a day-to-day basis and opens it on weekends for for 01:08:19
public use. 01:08:23
Do do we know who the third Member on this Commission is? 01:08:28
Mr. Dan, while oh, it is OK, yes, OK, good deal. And so there's just the three of them. 01:08:32
Yes. And there's been vacancies for a while, OK. And so they're very they don't meet very often. It's just really filling all the. 01:08:40
Dots and lines that need to be filled. Oh, yeah, no, I, I get it. I just, I just had those simple questions about it. I'm working 01:08:51
on a project that will come up later, but I just kind of wanted to ask a few questions on this and, and see, but no, I'm I'm good 01:08:58
with that. OK. I'm good, very good. Supervisor Humphrey, any input there? I have no input on C No OK. 01:09:06
So on this item then, let's have a motion. 01:09:14
I'll make a motion to approve item number C on consent agenda. I'll second that. OK, we have a motion and a second to approve 01:09:18
consent agenda item 4C. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye aye. 01:09:25
And my question on Jay, which would be the same as K and it is acknowledged of the report of the County Manager approved consent 01:09:34
agenda under $50,000 for the month of October. 01:09:43
And, and, and here we are in January and I'm just wondering if there's any way that we could get that information prior to 01:09:53
approving it. And you know, like it like if, if, if we got Octobers consent agenda. 01:10:02
Or ORC or the under 50,000 if we could approve that October in October. 01:10:12
Rather than wait till January or, or, or be able to, to see kind of what, what, what's going on before it's passed. Because if, if 01:10:21
I had a question on a consent agenda, I, I mean, on a county manager's approval under 53 months later, it, it really wouldn't do 01:10:31
any good for me to ask the question because it happened in October And here we are in January, which is. 01:10:40
Completely different year. So that that's that's my only question. And and I and I, I have, I have nothing against what's in that 01:10:51
report. I just, I just would if at some point I had questions about something in the report, I would, I would like to know before 01:10:58
I just say OK, fine. 01:11:05
Mr. Chairman, absolutely. Would it be all right if we work up a calendar of what the process is and, and be able to share that 01:11:14
with you so we can sit down and talk about it, go through it, and then see where we can adjust to tweak the calendar to meet the 01:11:20
needs of getting the information more timely to you? Would that be alright if we do that? Yeah. And I understand it's to, it's to, 01:11:27
it's to help the process. 01:11:33
Go faster and further. 01:11:40
And, and, and I'm just saying if, because if it was, if it, if, if the limit wasn't 50,000, they'd be coming to the board to 01:11:42
approve these contracts. So by you approving the contracts, I I understand and that makes things work smoother, faster. But if I 01:11:50
have a question and some of that I would like to know prior to it being three months. 01:11:58
Passed. Sure. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I'm a very valid request. Very valid That just be tight requested that it be timely and we need 01:12:07
to work on that. Yeah, no, that that that's fine. OK, that's fine. That's fine. And Mr. Chair, K is the exact same question and I 01:12:13
don't have an issue with anything on it. 01:12:19
Just rather than to see it. 01:12:25
Prior and and that's all. So if no one has anything to add to either one of those, I'm good. OK, Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a 01:12:30
motion to accept consent to end the agenda items. J&K and I will second that we have a motion to 2nd to accept items for J&K. 01:12:39
Those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Very good. 01:12:48
Let's move on to item number 5, call to the public. Is there anyone on the Internet? Cassandra. No. Anyone, Lisa. 01:12:57
No one in Payson And is there anyone here in Globe? No. Let's move on to item number six, which is our reports. I will turn it 01:13:07
over to the county manager first. Mr. Chairman, members of the board, as you know, this morning we received a check from Rio 10, 01:13:17
two Rio Tinto Resolution Copper for $150,000. This is an economic development grant from Resolution Copper. That's. 01:13:26
Given to Healer County the purpose and intent that the funds have been given to here. The county is for the renovation, remodel of 01:13:35
the Michaelson Building and for economic development purposes that that'll be used for the business incubator, helping small 01:13:42
businesses in the community and in the area. 01:13:49
Resolution Copper is very excited to partner with the county. City Globe is also getting a similar check next week where it'll be. 01:13:56
These funds will be used for the redevelopment of Michaelson Building 1. Drew thank Resolution Copper. 01:14:02
In our board meeting today for their consideration and for their support of economic development in Healing County also too wanted 01:14:10
to point out that this this Thursday night and the county supervisors association, there's a mixer, a reception where all the 01:14:17
legislators that will be in this new legislators and representatives and senators and the state will be at CSA this Thursday 01:14:24
evening. So. 01:14:32
We can have an opportunity to get to know them, talk to them, let them know our issues and informal meeting to have those 01:14:39
discussions coming that we can have according to this new legislative session. So we're all invited to that reception at 01:14:46
Associated this Thursday and then also on Friday, kind of Managers Association meeting at CSA in Phoenix. That's my report, Mr. 01:14:53
Chairman. Thank you. 01:15:00
Supervisor Humphrey. 01:15:08
Attended a team meeting with Mr. O'Driscoll and Supervisor Menlo and the department heads. Just to kind of get all of us in the 01:15:11
same room to see kind of what's going on and to look down the road a little bit. And I think that's going to be a monthly meeting 01:15:19
now. I will hold the Tunnel Basin community meeting tonight at 5. 01:15:27
Holder, Roosevelt Community Meeting on the 13th at 1:00. 01:15:36
I'll be on KQSS on the 13th at at 5:30. 01:15:41
And and just a question is that one of the presentations today was at the landfill a three-year contract for $40,000, which the 01:15:48
information was fine, but there again it's under 50. So if it was only under 50 with your consent rather than presented to all of 01:15:56
this information would have been in your under 50 report. 01:16:04
So that's that's all I have. 01:16:13
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:16:16
OK. 01:16:18
So. 01:16:20
A week ago I guess I attended the fire meeting in Christopher Creek. Type One team took over the Type Three team on the Horton 01:16:22
Fire. 01:16:27
And So what, what basically you, if you're watching it through Emergency Management, what they're doing is they're burning it out 01:16:32
to the top of the rim. 01:16:37
And, umm. 01:16:42
I don't know whether may change tonight and tomorrow it might shut them down. I don't really know. But there will be some impacts 01:16:44
to the public. Good chance. I think they're already kind of regulating traffic around Coal Branch and restricting one lane off and 01:16:53
on. But as they go up the rim above the trailhead, which is above the state yard down by two or right there on 260. 01:17:02
They'll be closing down the highway. 01:17:12
To burn it out and I don't know how long that will last. Their fear is is they're going to be burning above the banks on the road 01:17:15
and they're furious of things rolling off into the highway. So it could, it could run into a while. 01:17:22
There's, there's, you know. 01:17:32
For people traveling from Payson to. 01:17:35
Force legs solo out that away it's going to be a pretty good inconvenience for folks they're going to have to go quite a ways 01:17:40
around to get around on that one for us and young, we still have the chamber and trail that can be used. We have quite a few folks 01:17:49
that commute everyday toothpaste into work and so so we're going to need to kind of focus on that and take a look but. 01:17:58
But they're doing good I think. And from YCA, ton of smoke coming off of it. I'm sure Payson and Christopher Creek and probably 01:18:07
even as far as Phoenix is getting tired of the smoke. But. 01:18:13
But it is doing well and they are making some headway on it. And so they took it over a little over 1000 acres and they're over 01:18:19
7000 acres now, so. 01:18:23
So that'll continue. 01:18:28
Last Saturday. 01:18:32
Yeah, it's white and it's good. Last Saturday, myself and Kathy, we attended the retirement party for Richard Lunt and Duncan. 01:18:34
It's a really good little get together there. It was at the rodeo grounds. The CSA folks were all there. 01:18:45
Senator McGowan was there, that of course all the supervisors from Green Lake County were there and, and so there was a it was a 01:18:53
good turn out, got a good visit there. 01:19:00
Yesterday I I was in the Arizona, New Mexico Coalition meeting of counties and, and that was yesterday morning. 01:19:08
One thing I wanted to do is in that meeting, I've got the executive director report for the year of what Howard Hutchinson and the 01:19:17
Coalition has done. So I want to hand this out to each of you guys. And if there's someone else that wants a copy, again, do you 01:19:25
want a copy? Okay, take one and hand it on there if you want to take a look at it, and then you can get that one. 01:19:33
A lot going on. 01:19:42
In in the respective public lands and so. 01:19:44
I think what I'm going to do, what you'll see me doing here in the near future, is working with James to put together a work 01:19:51
session to sit down and really talk about public lands and where it's going. 01:19:58
We have the new administration coming in on the 20th. Everybody expects to see quite a few big changes and quite a few rollbacks 01:20:07
on executive orders that's been placed in public land, so. 01:20:13
There's some some things in motion. There's a lawsuit in Utah that's going on that if that goes through and is 1, then it'll 01:20:21
change a lot of the aspect on who who's going to control public lands and ultimately it could come back to the county. 01:20:29
And so there's there's things Kathy had attended a meeting not too long ago in Alamogordo on public land or public land plans, 01:20:38
county land plans. And so that's something that we need to talk about too as a group because that that's going to involve all of 01:20:46
us making the decision. But we want Healer County to look like and be doing in the in the way of public lands. The other thing I 01:20:53
want to tell you guys too is. 01:21:01
You know, we're just coming into this term, obviously we're just sworn in this morning, but this is my last run this four years 01:21:09
after this four years, I'm done and and HeLa County has such a large percentage of public lands. 01:21:17
We really need to think about what that's going to look like after four years. I, you know, and I don't know what you guys are 01:21:26
doing, but but somewhere, somehow there has to be. 01:21:32
Somebody involved with public lands and continued to be involved with public lands in Heala County. If, if we're not, we're going 01:21:39
to miss out, you know, And so I want, I want when we, when I can get this work session put together, I, I want everybody in. 01:21:48
Are you thinking about mentoring someone if you're well that didn't wear the few you know, I I just don't know where to go with 01:21:59
that. And and honestly, Tim, and I'm glad you asked that question is is effective. If you're not interested in public lands you 01:22:05
you you don't don't even make the effort. 01:22:11
Because it's a huge commitment and the commitment that we've been making in there takes up a lot of time. And, and it's, it's 01:22:18
good. I enjoy it. I, I've always enjoyed public lands and, and things like that. But, but these are the questions that, you know, 01:22:24
I, because I don't know what you guys are doing after the term or whatever. And, and so from a county standpoint, we just need to 01:22:31
really watch, you know, before. 01:22:37
We had Jackie that was kind of involved with public, public lands. 01:22:44
Umm, you know, we haven't really went there with Paul both to be down there to, to include him on, on a whole lot. He's been good 01:22:49
on something. So I don't, I don't know where we're at with that, but I do know we cannot miss being at the table over any of this 01:22:56
or we're going to miss out on a lot. 01:23:02
So, um. 01:23:09
This coming up Saturday I'll be holding a town hall meeting in Young and then next week it looks like we're going to be busy with 01:23:11
CSA meetings and ECO. 01:23:16
He goes another one that is we're heavily involved in everything from public land standpoint. Richard retiring is is is going to, 01:23:23
you know, kind of put a hit on us, but but there's good people in eco too. So so anyway, that's out there and. 01:23:33
After that. 01:23:44
That's all I had, I guess. Thanks for what you do. Well, thank you, Steve. And then, like I say, I mean I. 01:23:47
Well, we'll talk about, I'll get with you and we can maybe work on a work session. I don't think it'd be a real lengthy one, but 01:23:56
it'd be some good discussion. 01:24:00
Thank you. So my report is going to be kind of short. I had a great Christmas and New Year's. 01:24:05
I'm really excited about 2025. For some reason, I just think it's going to be better this year and I just really feel encouraged 01:24:12
by that and I think we'll be able to continue helping Gila County to thrive and prosper. I do plan on being at the CSA reception 01:24:19
on the 15th. 01:24:26
Did you have something else? 01:24:34
Hey, how you doing? Yes, I did just want to make note of that our all of our elected officials well ones were recently reelected 01:24:37
were sworn into office this morning and I want to express appreciation to. 01:24:44
The elected officials of Yula County We County do have really good elected officials. They care about the county, they are 01:24:52
invested in the county, and they are conservative, working for the people of Beulah County. 01:24:58
It makes it exciting for me to be able to work with the elected officials of Healer County because of their personal character and 01:25:06
their nature of wanting to help people. And that's what it all means is being in public service and what you do as a Board of 01:25:11
Supervisors is that. 01:25:16
You're constantly out of the public and sometimes take criticism for that and I appreciate that all you do of. 01:25:21
Being able to work tirelessly to help people. 01:25:30
And to improve their lot in life and the things that we can do. So I appreciate each of you and all of our elected officials here 01:25:34
can. And I'm excited to have that scoring in the ceremony this morning. So thank you. You did a good job putting it on too, James. 01:25:40
It, it went really well. 01:25:46
Yeah, it was really good. Thank you for that. And with that, I'll close item 6 and move on to item 7 executive session. 01:25:53

Now I may not be. Good morning everyone. Welcome to 2025. 00:00:00
I'd like to call this meeting to order Tuesday, January 7th at 10:00 AM and. 00:00:06
Supervisor Humphrey, would you lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance? And after that, Mister Sandoval? 00:00:15
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the stand for nation under God, indivisible, with liberty 00:00:20
and justice for all. 00:00:28
Lord, we thank you for this day, for the beginning of a new year. Lord, we have much to be thankful for. 00:00:40
That it's our privilege to live in a beautiful place in a beautiful country. 00:00:47
To be free to make decisions to practice religion. 00:00:53
Where we're thankful for the way who have blessed our county and many people in our county. We're thankful for the leadership that 00:00:58
the Board of Supervisors has provided. Lord, I pray that they would continue to make good decisions in wisdom. 00:01:07
In good faith, as it says, to the best of their abilities. Be with them. Be with our people and our country. 00:01:16
In Jesus name we pray, Amen. Before you proceeded, if you would, I would like to mention that we just recently lost a former 00:01:25
supervisor, Adolf Hito Trujillo. He served from 1973 to 1992. He he's on the wall, He's fairly far back as a public servant and 00:01:35
we're all going to end up on that wall someday. And so we want to remember him and all that he contributed to the county. 00:01:45
A long time. So if we just pause maybe for 10 seconds and reflect on that. 00:01:55
Thank you very much. 00:02:06
It could be single. 00:02:08
All right. 00:02:10
Well, we have a pretty full schedule today, so we'll get started. 00:02:17
Let's get started with item #2A. It's a public hearing. It's information discussion, Action to adopt resolution #25-01-02, which 00:02:22
approves Healer County community development, case number CU PP2410-001, a request by Destry Development for DW Tower LLC. 00:02:34

Assessors Tax parcel #201-06-013 are located at 131 E Highway 188 in Town Basin, Ela County. Randy. 00:02:54
Morning Sir. Morning. So DW Tower is proposing 120 foot rustic monopole for this property along with an approximate 30 by 80 foot 00:03:08
enclosure with a block wall around it. This site is being developed to handle 3 carriers and an additional public safety equipment 00:03:18
for the applicant. The height should be sufficient to overcome some of the challenges from the growing topography in the area. 00:03:27
And to be the primary service for several miles in each direction. The subject parcel is a 5.3 acres and is located at Hwy. 188. 00:03:38
This is basically butcher hook. 00:03:44
The proposed site location is near the parcels West side. Per the applicant, they pull the set back 136 feet from the South 00:03:52
property line, which is the nearest property line and 140 foot from the highway. The sex setbacks to the north and east is an RV 00:04:01
resort from the highway and existing park line. Power and fiber are both on the property site conditions. 00:04:10
Our site construction takes approximately 60 to 90 days. 00:04:19
It is currently expected that Verizon would be the first carrier as they requested DW Tower to move forward with this site. The 00:04:23
structure and building are designed to handle additional carriers. Per the applicant. The height is needed to maximize the reach 00:04:31
of the site along the highway and to overcome some of the rowing topography. Again, there are. 00:04:39
13 CONDITIONS Development, operation and maintenance shall be in conformance with the application narrative and materials provided 00:04:50
with the conditional use request and on file with Community Development dated October 28th, 2024 and these conditions of approval. 00:04:57
The maximum height of the 100 should be 120 foot monopole wireless facility including base platform and antennae. It is not to 00:05:04
exceed 100. 00:05:11
Above natural grade 120 manifold wireless facility must be structurally engineered. The 120 foot Mireno pole wireless facility 00:05:19

accompanied by a structural engineer. Plans that eliminate the fall distance. Building permits must be obtained within one year 00:05:33
from the date of the approval of the Board of Supervisors. 00:05:40
Failure of such shall void the conditional use permit. A current lease agreement with the owner shall be submitted prior to the 00:05:48
issuance of a building permit. The 120 foot monopole wireless facility and all associated equipment shall be removed immediately 00:05:55
from the property at the owners expense. At the model coal becomes unusable or obsolete, the applicant will provide the ability to 00:06:03
Co locate other antennas on this 120 foot monopole facility. 00:06:10
Equipment area shall be skirted and vandal proof. The fencing and closing of this compound shall not exceed 6 foot in height and 00:06:18
no barbed wire should be used or be in place. All lighting shall comply with Heal County Dark Sky Ordinance. Certificate 00:06:26

Necessary federal, state, county and local permits that may be required. The issuance of the conditional use permit does not 00:06:48
relieve the owner of liability of any felony to obtain any permits. Property owners within 300 feet of the subject property were 00:06:55
notified and the applicant held a citizen participation plan on October 8th, 2024. There were no attendees from the notice and 00:07:03
there that was sent and we have received. 00:07:10
Letters against or for this legal ads were published 12/17/2024 12:18 in the PACER round up in the Silver Belt and the site was 00:07:18
posted on 12/18. 00:07:26
That's it. 00:07:38
I'll be here more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no questions. I'm 00:07:41
glad to see this. That area is very much in need of better communication. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor Klein. Yeah, I don't 00:07:48
have any questions, Randy. And I agree with Supervisor Humphrey that that's going to help a lot of folks like. So it will be 00:07:55
taking my excuse when I'm driving through that not being talking on the phone. 00:08:02
OK, Randy, I don't have any questions either, so I'll close this portion of the discussion and open it up for public hearing. Is 00:08:11
there anyone in the Globe here that wishes to speak to Item 2A? 00:08:16
No, Cassandra. No. And Lisa. 00:08:22

And I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Motion carries unanimous item 2B 00:08:45
Information Discussion Action to Adopt ordinance #2025-02, which authorizes an amendment to the Yuba County zoning map for 00:08:52
unincorporated areas of Healer County, Arizona, by changing the zoning for assessors. 00:09:00
Parcel number 30119119 C located at Section 36, Township 12 N, Range 08 E, Pine, AZ Currently designated as transitional 00:09:09
residential district. TR to add a trailer District T overlay. Randy. In January 2022, the applicant received approval from the 00:09:17
Hilo County Board Supervisor to rezone. 00:09:26
Case number REZONP. 00:09:36
2109001 and Ordinance number 202-2012 rezone the rear portion of APN 30119019 L. 00:09:39
Now 301119 C from residential one density 12 to TR district and see below. The zoning change was intended to allow for the 00:09:52
construction of 16 one bedroom cabins, horse corrals and a managers quarters. One of the conditions of approval for this rezoning 00:10:02
was that all development improvements must be completed within four years. 00:10:11
The applicant has decided to proceed with the project that is now proposed in developing the property with 29 park models 00:10:21
requiring the trailer district overlay to be added to the current traditional residential zoning. The proposed development would 00:10:31
be similar to the Pine Creek Resort located West of this parcel, the proposed transitional residential district for the T overlay. 00:10:40
Will permit the proposed park model development. 00:10:50
Subject to the approval of development plan and site plan, currently there is one. We have received one call, one e-mail opposed 00:10:53
and we've received one e-mail in support. None of them are within the 300 feet. 00:11:01
PNC voted on this and approved on a six to one vote per the applicant. The portion of the parcel, the Borders Hwy. 87 and Old 00:11:10
Country Rd. would have a six foot concrete wall similar to the rim side village to the north, which would be a six foot opaque 00:11:17
fence with two gates for fire ingress and egress. The entrance to the property would be existing driveway and services of the Pine 00:11:24
Creek Resort. 00:11:32
A lot line adjustment will be made with the property to the South to accommodate the sanitary system. A well has been drilled in 00:11:39
the northwest corner of the property with a 20 gallons per minute pump. The location of the sanitary facilities and the drainage 00:11:47
would be subject to the engineering and county approval. 00:11:54
APS Company and Pine Strawberry Water District access are on the property lines. A fire hydrant is also located at the corner of 00:12:04
highway. 00:12:08
And Old Country Rd. Arizona Revised Statutes. 00:12:14
11 two 5105 ordinance states that prior to adoption, amendment or repeal of any ordinance under the section of board of supervised 00:12:20
shall be hold a public hearing there on at least 15 days notice, which was shall be given to the public in a newspaper or general 00:12:27
circulation. Legal ads were published on 12/17 12:18 in the Patient Roundup in the Silver Belt respectively. The posting was 00:12:35
completed on 12/20. 00:12:42
Staff sent property owners within the 300 federal radius of the subject product notification of the applicants request. The 00:12:49
applicant held a neighborhood meeting on September 24th, 2024 to discuss the proposed rezoning. Mr. Pegle, 18 attendees were at 00:12:58
the neighborhood meeting. One resident was concerned that more residents would walk or would walk to see the Creek. 00:13:06
20 properties are within the 300 foot radius. 00:13:16
The subject property, community development and staff had received one phone call again and one e-mail and the concern was 00:13:20
increased traffic. The intent to the purpose of the TEA overlay is to combine with certain other uses and densities for the 00:13:28
purpose of permitting mobile manufactured home developments. This would include park models. In reviewing the rezoning application 00:13:35
for a recommendation, staff considers Arizona State statutes. 00:13:43
HeLa County Zoning Ordinance and the Copper Hampton's master plan. The current and proposed land use of the property, adjacent 00:13:50
zoning, public comments and other Hill County Department requirements. Whether the land use would be compatible and harmonious 00:13:56
with the neighboring uses. 00:14:01
No deed restrictions were found on this property and per ARS 11814, a all rezoning is adopted under the Article shall be 00:14:08
consistent and informed to the adopted comprehensive plan in the case. 00:14:15
And then certainly it is considered to applying conformity of any part of the closed rezoning to the adopted comprehensive plan. 00:14:22
APN 3/01/19 1:19 C falls within the multifunctional corridor in Hilo County's comprehensive Master Plan. The multifunction 00:14:32
corridor category denotes areas of the county that are located adjacent to primary trans or transportation routes and where a 00:14:40
mixture of land uses are desirable based on the specific location characteristics of the land. 00:14:48
Staff CONCLUSION Based on the application review, the land use appears to be compatible and harmonious with the neighboring uses 00:14:57
and the proposed rezoning components with the comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval to the Board of Shipwrites for the 00:15:05
rezoning request. There are three conditions. The Hill County Planning Zoning Commission at a duly notice public hearing, voted 00:15:12
6-1 to recommend approval of the adherence to the conditions of approval. The owner of the subject property of a. 00:15:20
3/01/19 1:19 C Must apply with all requirements for the transitional residential and the trailer overlay per Aris Revised Statues 00:15:27
11/14 I The border may approve a change of zoning conditions on a schedule for development of the specific use and uses of the 00:15:35
rezoning if the owner of three O 1/1/19 C fails to proceed with the development of the proposed park model development within 24 00:15:42
months. 00:15:49
Heal the County may schedule a public hearing. 00:15:57
Which may revert the rezoning on the property to its former zoning classification. The owner of the three 01/1/19 C reserves the 00:16:00
right to apply for an extension. It is responsibility the owner of the subject property to obtain all necessary federal, state, 00:16:08
county and local permits as may be required. If everyone's not sure, this is properties. 00:16:16
Basically South of the hardware store, it is next to Mr. Fuegel's current. 00:16:25
Park model subdivision. And if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer. Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:16:32
I, I have no questions. I I'm all for infrastructure as long as it's done right. And so thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:16:41
Well, Randy, the only question I would have is why would we put a four year time limit on getting it to meet the requirements of 00:16:48
the TR that had the four year, we were adding two years and had a four year that that had to be developed. And so we're, they have 00:16:56
two years left basically on that so. 00:17:03
Speaking with the attorney, they didn't want to violate the requirements of the four year prior. So we have the two year time 00:17:11
limit of that he needs to get it developed. So would they be able to get an extension if they need specifically, we wrote that 00:17:17
specifically in here that it says. 00:17:22
The owner of 3/01/19 1:19 She reserves the right to apply for an extension of time in the event of uncontrollable problems. OK, 00:17:34
thank you. 00:17:39
Thank you, Randy. And so this would add even more of an answer to the affordable housing crisis that we seem to be facing. So. 00:17:45
And we do have Mr. Pueblo here with us today if we have any questions for him or if you'd like to make a comment. But at this 00:17:57
time, I'll close our discussion and open it up for the public hearing. Is there anyone here in code that wishes to speak on that? 00:18:05
Would you like to say a few words? 00:18:13
OK, 2020 words. Pick them carefully just to address a couple of concerns of. 00:18:16
People. 00:18:25
This was met, this project was meant favorably because of actually to have less traffic. These are not rentals daily or weekly 00:18:27
rentals. We prohibit that. So that helps us to keep our properties neat and clean just like Pine Creek Resort. So there is no 00:18:35
daily, weekly, any rentals at all. It's owner occupied. 00:18:43
And the other concern of people on the last zoning was that we would. 00:18:53
Have horses there. Of course, we will not have that now. So OK, if there's any other questions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, 00:18:59
Ray. And so is there anyone else here? If not, then is there anyone on the Internet? Cassandra? No. And Lisa, do we have anyone 00:19:05
wishes to speak? 00:19:11
Very good. So with that, I will close the public hearing and call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt ordinance 00:19:21
#2025-02. 00:19:26
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a motion and a second to approve. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Motion carries 00:19:32
unanimous. Thank you. All right, moving on to item number three, our regular agenda items. 3A information, discussion, action to 00:19:39

them. You know, whether they do or have the lowest bid is on them, but we like to have them involved still. Good to see you. Thank 00:24:39
you. 00:24:45
Thank you, David. 00:24:52
I don't think that was a clap of Thunder, so don't. 00:24:56
I'll call for a motion, Mr. Chair. I'll make the motion to award a contract to courtesy Ford of Globe in the amount of $335,160.94 00:25:00
in response to the invitation for bids number 082424. 00:25:09
Mr. Chair, I'll 2nd that the motion and the second to approve those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you, David. Thank you. Right. We 00:25:18
want item 3C, information to sector discussion action to review all bids submitted for informal bids request number 100424, the 00:25:26
Russell Gulch Landfill Fill sequence plan and award a contract to the lowest, most responsive, responsible and qualified bidder. 00:25:33
Good morning, Melanie. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. 00:25:40
Supervisors, this is a request for informal bid to a contract award request for the fill sequence plan for the Russell Gulch 00:25:48
landfill. On October 7th we emailed 6 contractors. The bids were due on October 18th. The rest of Gold timefill expansion cell 3A 00:25:55
was completed in November. The rest of those landfill is a unique has a very unique shape and it's actually like half of the 00:26:02
landfill and. 00:26:09
The Russell Gulch Landfill Sell 3B project, which would be completing the landfill sell, will be completed in 2032. 00:26:16
Recycling Landfill Management contracted with Blue Ridge Services back in April. 00:26:24
And we did a gap assessment there to kind of evaluate the landfill and see what we needed to do. And one of the findings during 00:26:31
the gap assessment was a fill sequence plan. So what a fill sequence plan does is it takes all of the unique situations that the 00:26:36
landfill has and it's almost like a an engineered plan that they can follow day-to-day on where the trash should go, where the 00:26:42
roads are going to go, how we're going to get people in and out of the landfill. 00:26:48
And kind of take that burden off of them to where they're just really operating the equipment and moving the trash around and 00:26:54
following the plan. 00:26:58
This contract is a is a three-year contract. The first year is $20,000 where they would they would take all of the surveys of the 00:27:03
landfill, unique situations, formulate a plan and then after that after, so it's a six steps are in six months. So they give us a 00:27:11
six months, 6 month plan at a time. We they'd reevaluate the landfill, go for the next six months and then it's over three years. 00:27:18
Where we can really have a. 00:27:26
You know, a handle on the landfill and once it comes up to elevation, it gets a little bit easier, but being down in that, in 00:27:29
that, that hole before it meets the, the level of where the the base grade is, it's, it's really, really challenging so. 00:27:37
OK, so these are the challenges. Recycling and landfill management is committed to operating efficiently utilizing all airspace 00:27:48
and we definitely want to extend the life of our land. So we accepted still bids on October 18th. There was 2 competitive bids 00:27:55
received and the lowest most qualified was SCS Engineering for $40,000. It's the recommended recommendation of Healer County 00:28:01
Public Works. 00:28:07
To award IVR number 100424 Russell Bulge Landfill Filthy Friends plans SCS Engineering in the amount of $40,000. 00:28:14
Thank you, Donnie. Supervisor Humphrey? Yeah, I guess that 40,000 is that for a year? That's the entire contract for three years. 00:28:24
The entire contract for three years. OK, No further questions. Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you. So, Melanie, just so that I 00:28:31
understand better, this is to help. 00:28:38
Save space or is it to help save labor or both? So it's going to utilize all of our airspace efficiently. 00:28:47
And I guess it kind of helps with labor because what it does is it just gives them a clear plan of what we're gonna do. They 00:28:56
follow the engineered plan. And so it kinda takes the guessing out of where where should we put the roads? So it's all set up for 00:29:04
them and they just follow it. It's almost like building a house and looking at blueprints. OK. Yeah. All right. Thank you. With 00:29:11
that, I'll call for a motion. Mr. I've moved to award a contract to SCS engineers. 00:29:19
The amount of $40,000 in response to Informal bid request number 10042. 00:29:26
And I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Melanie. 00:29:34
Item 3D Information Discussion Action to approve Amendment number one to Service Agreement number 060424, the Control Rd. Roadway 00:29:42
Improvement Project with Perkins Centers Incorporated, adding $22,114.71 to the contract for a total contract amount of 00:29:51
$1,090,184.90, which will cover the cost of the change orders. 00:30:00
Associated with the additional work. 00:30:10
Good morning, Alex. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Board of Supervisors. So as you know, back in September, I came before you and 00:30:12
presented the Control Rd. improvement project to awards Perkins Cinders. 00:30:18
What I didn't realize at the time was how financing works between the agreement between the Forest Service and us, so I did not 00:30:24
include a contingency in the original. 00:30:29
Proposals I brought before you. Because of that, we did have one change order for $22,114.71, which will now have to be ratified 00:30:35
by the board before service is paying 100% of this project and they've already agreed to this change order. So this is just making 00:30:41
sure that we do things the right way. 00:30:48
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:30:55
No questions. Thank you. Appreciate Supervisor Klein. Alex, thank you. So the four source is going to pay this, this, this change 00:30:59
order and everything anyway. 00:31:04
So we'll make that mistake again. Thank you. That's OK. Nothing's ever easy. 00:31:09
With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment number one to Service Agreement number 060. 00:31:23
4/24 as presented. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:31:31
Item 3 E Information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of invitation for bids number 121024, the Monroe St. 00:31:40
Construction project. Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Board. So as you know, a year ago, I came before you with Stantec to 00:31:47
discuss the design options that we were considering from Monroe St. We ended up receiving those design options and then we tried 00:31:55
to combine that project with the repaving of the parking. 00:32:02
For the courthouse complex here. And it turned out to just be, too. 00:32:10
There was too many irons in the fire to address both at the same time. So what we're doing is we're splitting the back into two 00:32:16
projects. And so this is the request to go out forbid for construction for the Monroe St. project. Again, that's lowering Monroe 00:32:22
St. as you approach 7th St. there, paving the lower Ferraro building parking lot and then making two one way streets up to the 00:32:28
middle and upper parking lots. 00:32:34
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:32:42
You know, back to pretty much the original plan. Yes, yeah, good. I'm glad to see us moving forward because that road is 00:32:44
deteriorating on both sides and it just keeps getting narrower. So and traveling it every day it it's not a great Rd. So thank you 00:32:50
for for moving this forward. 00:32:57
OK, Supervisor Klein. I'm good, Alex. Thank you. Yeah, I'm good too. Hopefully. Actually, it might come out a little less 00:33:04
expensive doing it. 00:33:08
Woken up like that, I don't know. 00:33:12
We'll see. But thank you, Alex. With that, I'll call forbid motion. I moved to authorize the advertisement an invitation for bid 00:33:14
number 120124 and I'll second that motion and the second to approve those in favor say aye aye. Thank you, Alex. Item 3F. 00:33:24
Information Discussion Action to adopt resolution #25-01-01, which authorizes the submission of a Smart State Match Advantage for 00:33:36
Rural Transportation Funds grant application to pave the Young Rd. Mr. Goodman. Good morning, Mr. Chairman and board members. So 00:33:44
we know that Wahila County paving that section of Young Rd. is a high priority in in Public Works has been working on it. 00:33:53
We had the the. 00:34:03
USDA funded grant that got us the EA which will be completed in March and that also took the project to 60% plans. So to move 00:34:06
forward to get 100% plans we have are going to apply for a SMART grant and we've asked for 500. We are going to ask for $530,000 00:34:14
for the SMART grant and Heila County will contribute 150,000. 00:34:23
Brings the total to 680,000. We think that will cover. 00:34:32
The the rest of the design to get it to 100%. 00:34:36
So this resolution just simply authorizes Huma County to go ahead and apply for this smart grid. 00:34:41
Through a dot and then if we're awarded it, a dot will take over and administer that design project for us. So I'll be happy to 00:34:49
answer any questions. 00:34:54
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. I think it's a great project, you know, going back and forth on that road. My question would be, 00:35:00
and you don't have to answer it, I wonder what the speed limit is going to be on that one. It's paid because it's a it's a pretty 00:35:06
crazy Rd. But no, I I think it's a great project and and it'd be a good deal. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. You're familiar with 00:35:12
this road? Yeah, kind of. How about we just give it to the state and just call it a day? 00:35:19
Yeah. So Tom, the question I would have on this. So we get it up there to work. 00:35:27
Then 100% design and so then once we hit that stage that design is good from now on we will not ever have to go back and redo 00:35:34
anything on that design yeah, if it sits for several years, we may want to take another look at it before we. 00:35:42
Go out to for construction, but yeah it that'll give us 100% plans specifications engineers cost analysis it's a bid ready package 00:35:52
find the construction funding will take it right out for contract. So I think that's really great you know my. 00:36:02
My worry is always, you know, if the government's gonna get their updates on the analysis all done and all that to where maybe we 00:36:13
can move forward when these days we're getting something done. I've seen a lot of studies done on that road just to turn around 00:36:20
and redo them, you know, And so, so that was just my big, big question on this. 00:36:26
You know, good morning, Board, Good morning, Chairman. Board, the question was is, is this just. 00:36:36
Authorization to submit the grant and it's actually more than that. It's a commitment on our part to contribute our our local 00:36:46
share our the share that that Tom presented. It's also a commitment for us to apply for a grant within a very short time after the 00:36:51
design is complete. 00:36:56
And a federal grant to get the rope done. So the design that we're talking about here, that Tom is talking about is the actual 00:37:02
design for the road. It's not the cultural assessment, it's not the biological. It is where you going to put the coverage? What, 00:37:08
what's the thickness of the pavement? What do you have? And that design should be good for a long time. The engineers, when they 00:37:14
prepare the design, they also prepare a cost estimate. Now, the cost estimate, if we take three years to build a road needs to be 00:37:20
done. 00:37:26
The design itself should pass the test of time, and they shouldn't have to change overtime. I just wanted to share their 00:37:33
commitments as we move forward because on the SMART grant, that's very important to ADOT. And so it needs to be important to us as 00:37:39
well that we make a firm commitment to apply for a grant. In the case we don't, we have to return this money. Thank you, Homer. 00:37:45
Yeah. 00:37:51
Tom So I remember something about a 400, some $1000 toward this. 00:37:58
Design phase that came from Senator Kelly, if I remember right, is that part of the 680 or is that 680 in addition to the 400? 00:38:03
This is an addition. So this will the 472,000 that got us to 60% plans and will complete the environmental assessment and that's 00:38:11
currently underway and and we'll be wrapping up in March. 00:38:19
OK, very good. Thanks. Alright, so with that I will ask for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #2501 Dash 00:38:27
01. Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. Thank you, Tom. Thank you. All right, let's 00:38:34
move on to. 00:38:41
3G information discussion action to approve a delegation agreement number EV24-0016 with the Arizona Department of Environmental 00:38:49
Quality to accept functions of ADQ statutes, rules and policies for the water quality and solid waste management functions and 00:38:57
duties. Good morning, Paula. I hear Josh. 00:39:05
Is under the weather. 00:39:15
Yes, Yeah. OK. I'm glad to see you here. Thank you, Chairman, Members of the Board today I brought with me one of our many experts 00:39:16
in case you have questions, Ryan Plucky's Environmental Health Specialist Manager. So, but I believe that this agreement has been 00:39:26
in effect for several years and there are only 7 items that were changed throughout the process of getting this upgraded into. 00:39:35
To this year, this will allow us to have the local agency ability to enforce these functions that ADEQ has in place. So which 00:39:46
means it'll be more timely, local agency will actually be able to respond quicker to any citizens that need and we can also any of 00:39:54
the complaints will be enforced so. 00:40:02
It's just a great way to actually bring this. 00:40:11
This authority to the local level. So we're asking that you do approve this delegation and allow us to continue to to enforce it 00:40:15
till 2050. So 25 years. OK, great. Thank you for that. Supervisor. I have no question, Supervisor Klein. 00:40:24
So, Paula, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm looking at this and you know, it's to accept functions of adequate statutes, rules and policies 00:40:36
for water and solid waste. 00:40:41
So it's something as simple as like our our water test that we have to have done and things like that, you guys will now be able 00:40:47
to do that. 00:40:51
I see a head shake on one side. 00:40:56
Wastewater systems to permit do construction authorizations and to protect the aquifers, that's what they want in there. And then 00:41:00
it's for the solid waste. So we will inspect the trucks that that pick up the waste like and take it to the dump. And so we will 00:41:07
be doing, we'll be doing those processes that we've always been doing. There's not an increase in services. It's pretty much my 00:41:13
team will be doing the same thing and the services to the community will be the same as what we are already doing. 00:41:20
Really the changes in this are in reporting, they're in, you know, timelines of the states ability to assess whether we're meeting 00:41:28
our. 00:41:32
Our goals and that they have given us and those kind of things that the duties are really reason the same. 00:41:37
So. 00:41:44
So right now community development, Randy, you guys do like. 00:41:45
Perk tests and things like that. 00:41:51
Right. 00:41:54
I guess I'm trying to draw the line. Who's who's doing what? Well, I, I as the environmental health manager, my wastewater part of 00:41:56
my job is under Randy and the restaurants and the other, the property cleanups and stuff is under the health department. So I kind 00:42:01
of work for both departments. I'm sorry. Thank you. 00:42:07
OK. OK. Maybe I'll I'll sort it out eventually. Thank you. I'm good. Thank you. OK, I have no questions. So with that I'll call 00:42:15
for a motion. 00:42:20
To adopt Arizona Department of Environmental Quality delegation agreement number EB24-0016AS and I'll second that motion and a 00:42:26
second to approve all those in favor say aye, aye, thank you. I think we have one more for you. 00:42:36
Item 3H Information discussion Action to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of the Delta. 00:42:47
Dental of Arizona Foundation Grant application to expand the Oral Health program and accept the grant award in the amount of 00:42:55
$30,000 for the period of February 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 by having the Board Chairman electronically signed the grant 00:43:01
acceptance document. 00:43:07
Chairman, thank you very much. Members of the Board, we actually did have a grant with Delta Dental, not this last year, but the 00:43:15
year previously. And this is the grant that actually allows our oral health program to do all the children. So we do have a few 00:43:22
different grants that are like cavity free and they must be second graders, they must be certain age limits on them and 00:43:30
eligibility. This grant there are no age limits or eligibility determinations. So it does allow us to. 00:43:37
More children because you don't never want to go into a school and only provide services for second graders, you know, because 00:43:45
you're missing the 3rd and the 4th graders that never did receive the screenings and those grades that are actually required. So 00:43:52
this is a great opportunity for them to continue to provide those extra services. So at our oral health program wants to continue 00:44:00
to thrive. So and they are welcomed in all the schools. So very good. Thank you for that. Yeah, thank you, supervisor. 00:44:07
No questions. It was a great program. So is this enough money to cover everyone? No, it is not OK. Yeah, we take and this is 00:44:15
probably one of the smaller grants we did just receive. You just approved it. Last time was San Carlos, so we can use a few and we 00:44:22
have Freeport, so we have a few. She has a few different pots to go ahead and some are for outreach and some are for actual direct 00:44:28
services. So. 00:44:35
I think the way that we're kind of working it is to have one large pot with several little ones in between that's actually making 00:44:43
it work. 00:44:46
So and I know that we are going to be providing a work session on the oral health because we kind of want you to see how it's 00:44:50
looking in the schools and the outcomes that we have had. And I know that is one thing that Josh and Trisha have been discussing 00:44:59
was bringing it to you as a work because these are one year grants. So that's only going to be a drop in the bucket going forward. 00:45:07
And with no pediatric dentist in this area. 00:45:16
It's important that these services continue so and we're we're glad to continue to look for grants, but oral health is not 00:45:20
actually one of the largest, you know, they don't give a lot of money for that. 00:45:27
Thank you. Thank you, Paul Watson. It's vital to have good oral health and so thanks for reaching out for that. With that, I will 00:45:35
call for a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the submittal of the Delta 00:45:41
Dental of Arizona Foundation grant application. 00:45:47
To expand the Oral Health program and accept the grant award in the amount of $30,000 as presented. 00:45:55
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. All right, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. Thank you very 00:46:02
much. Thank you. Have a good day. Alright, item three. I information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of requests 00:46:09
for proposal number 12022024, the Copper Corridor Light reduction, US Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Justice 00:46:16
Government to government program grant consultant. 00:46:23
Well, that make a great acronym. 00:46:31
The. 00:46:36
Thank you, Mary. Thank you, Mr. Chair, Supervisor, client supervisor Humphrey. 00:46:39
I've got Amy State in here with me from our grants division. Amy has worked tirelessly to get this put together and to navigate 00:46:45
all of the. 00:46:51
Nuances of NEPA. 00:46:57
I think that's the politically correct term that we use now for for that right nuances. 00:47:00
So if you have any questions, Amy's happy to answer those. We've had great success with the existing copper quarter blockbusters 00:47:07
plant and that's opened the door for this opportunity for our community and our constituents. 00:47:15
Very good. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Oh, I think it's a great thing, Blights one of my things that I fight. So thank you 00:47:23
very much for anything we can do, any funding that we can get to help fight that is very much appreciated by the neighbors that 00:47:30
live next to some of these people that we need to help. 00:47:37
Supervisor Klein. 00:47:45
You know, thank you, ladies, Amy, especially Kathy, Melvin, a whole group of you that's that's really took this and and put it 00:47:47
forward and you know, this was all kind of kicked off and started when we wrapped up that hotel down there and and Winkelman. 00:47:56
You know, with the state helping and everything like that and it it encompasses enough area and big enough grant and everything 00:48:06
that these ladies, the group has been able to do some awesome things with it and hopefully it'll continue and we can see more. 00:48:14
More getting done, I guess, so thank you. Thank you all. You too, Kathy. 00:48:23
Yes, thank you, all of you for all the hard work you put in for this. It's interesting that we create our own blight. You know, we 00:48:30
build something and then we let it deteriorate into a blight situation and then we got to pay to clean it all up. So it's 00:48:36
interesting to me. So with that, I'll call for motion. 00:48:42
Mr. Chair, I move to authorize the advertisement for Request for Proposal number 12022024, and I'll second that motion and a 00:48:48
second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. Thank you, ladies. And Marin, we have another one for you here. 3J 00:48:57
information, discussion, action to adopt revised policy number B, OS-F I N-116. 00:49:05
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System funding to reflect the updated actuarial valuation as of June 30th, 2024 and instruct 00:49:14
staff take action as directed by the Board of Supervisors. 00:49:20
Pertaining to the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount of $47,232 in the Adult Detention 503 Trust Fund, that actually does 00:49:27
have an acronym, but it's no easier, it's the UAAL. 00:49:35
So, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein, every year since 2019, we've been required by the state to revise and re 00:49:46
adopt this policy. BOSFIN 116. 00:49:53
It pertains to how we are committed to the funding levels in our PSPRS retirement system. As you're all aware, we took out a 00:50:01
budget revenue bond to fully fund the PSPRS. 00:50:10
Obligation. 00:50:19
At this time due to. 00:50:21
Salary increases and staff turnover. We have a small unfunded actuarial liability in our adult detention fund 503 following fiscal 00:50:25
year 2024. So we're here today with two purposes. First is so that the Board can adopt the existing policy or the revised policy 00:50:34
which shows what the current funding ratios are at the end of 2024. 00:50:43
Kathy, can you pull that up? 00:50:53
Should be attached. 00:50:54
The first one, FY25 revision. And then if you can scroll, maybe zoom in at the trust fund part at the bottom, OK? That way our 00:50:57
constituents and the audience can see. So there are three separate funds as you can see here, Sheriff's Office, adult detention 00:51:04
and dispatchers. And we should have Clark Partridge on the phone from PSPRS in case you have any questions that, Mister, I can't 00:51:11
answer. 00:51:17
As you can see, two of our funds. 00:51:26
Have more than 100% funding. We have 101.98% for the Sheriff's Office and 110.29% for our dispatchers. So the one that we're here 00:51:28
to ask for your guidance and action on is the adult attention, which is currently only funded at the 99.54%. And when Mr. Menlov 00:51:38
and I reached out to PSPRS to find out what our options are so that we can share those with you. 00:51:48
The board has three options today. Option one is to do nothing and just see what the actuarial liability becomes next year. Option 00:51:59
2 is to fully fund this $47,232 and with that we would work with PSPRS to get them to issue us an invoice, we would write them a 00:52:07
check and we would be 100% funded. 00:52:15
The third option is that we could fund the 47232 and. 00:52:24
Determine an additional amount that the Board so desired. So we wanted to bring that to you today as soon as we were aware of it 00:52:30
so that you could take action as you choose and so that our policy can be updated so that we're in compliance with state statute. 00:52:39
Thank you, Madam. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:52:49
Yeah. I, I, I would think that just getting us up to 100% would be. 00:52:52
My my interest at this point rather than try to predict the future and interest rates and all that kind of things because it 00:52:59
changes daily much less yearly. So I would think if we just my opinion, if we settled to where we need to be today and then just 00:53:07
see what interest rates and things do within a year would be my $0.02 worth. 00:53:15
OK, Thank you. So Supervisor Klein. 00:53:23
Yeah, I'm, I'm on the same boat. I, I think doing nothing isn't an option. I, I like, I like at least being at that 100% just just 00:53:27
in case and and then we'll see what next year brings. So yeah. 00:53:34
Thank you. I feel the same. But why can't we take some of the excess that we've paid? I presume that's not an option because 00:53:43
because these funds are set aside for the individual participants, we can't we can't move them around. They are designated as is. 00:53:53
Yes, understand. So when we get an excess amount like we're at 110% on one, do we cut back on those payments or do we just. 00:54:03
Kind of let that ride. We just let it ride, OK, And we pay it off sooner that way. 00:54:13
Maybe so we're paying it off sooner in a separate vehicle, right? Because because you all had the foresight to take out that that 00:54:19
bond five years ago that let us pay off our obligation to PSPRS. And this creates a cushion so that if there's turnover or if 00:54:28
there's salary increases like the STEP program that you all adopted for our deputies and detention. 00:54:38
This allows that to have less impact so we don't have to pay in more as we're going along. Adult detention this year just happened 00:54:48
to to fluctuate like this. And when Mr. Menlove and I were on the phone with PSPRS, the first thing that they said and they asked 00:54:56
us to make sure we passed this on to you is to make sure that you are aware that Gila County is practicing excellent management 00:55:03
and foresight and even having this conversation. 00:55:10
That we grabbed the reports, looked at them and brought this to you immediately instead of just letting it sit there is a 00:55:18
reflection of your leadership and, and your stewardship of these resources. I apologize for not starting with that. I, I had meant 00:55:24
to, but Clark Partridge and his colleagues were, were very glad that we called them up and said, hey, what do we do about this? 00:55:30
And you know, they hadn't even gotten that far down their list yet to say, hey, we should call you the county. So we, we got them 00:55:36
first. So it was very helpful. 00:55:42
And the report, for better or for worse, are all attached. They are about this big, so if you'd like to see a different summary, 00:55:49
we're of course willing to bring whatever other information would be helpful to you for future consideration. 00:55:57
I appreciate that. Thank you very much. With that, I don't have any more, so I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion 00:56:07
to adopt revised policy number BOSF IN-11. I'll 2nd that. I have a motion of a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:56:15
Mr. Albo, do we need a second motion or separate motion to go ahead and fund that shortfall or was that already covered at least a 00:56:27
separate motion for that? OK. So I'll make the motion that we go ahead and fund the shortfall up to 100%, OK. 00:56:35
I'll check. 00:56:44
OK. We have a motion and a second to fund that to 100%. 00:56:46
Those in favor say aye, aye aye. Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:56:51
All right, let's move on to Item 3, Tag information discussion action to appoint the following individuals to the Board of 00:56:57
Directors of the Industrial Development Authority of of the County of Gila, Arizona as follows. And we're going to reappoint 00:57:06
Mickey and I and Marvin Mall retroactive for the term of office that begins on January 1st, 2025 through December 31, 2030. 00:57:14
And appoint Matthew Storms beginning on January 7th, 2025 to December 31st, 2028. And this item is involves both Supervisor 00:57:24
Humphrey and Supervisor Klein. So Supervisor Humphrey. 00:57:34
Yeah, I have no questions. I, you know, I think I'm the one that's reappointing Mickey and I and I have a lot of respect for him 00:57:45
and, and I just hope that the Ida can get rolling here at some point in time. And it seems like we have had some members lost. And 00:57:53
so I, I think I still need to appoint someone and have not as of yet. 00:58:00
And but anyway, that, that's all I have. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Yeah, I, I've worked with Mickey and I for quite a while 00:58:09
there, since I've been in office basically, and. 00:58:14
And Marvin Mole, I know him very well from out there. San Carlos and the good guy. And so, yeah. 00:58:21
OK. I'm good. All right. Thank you. And I'll just make a comment that I have two positions to appoint myself and I'm struggling 00:58:27
quite a bit to find someone. 00:58:32
Or two people so. 00:58:38
I will accept suggestions. Did I don't? If I may, Mr. Chair and James, you have to refresh in my memory, but it's not bound by 00:58:41
district, is it? I mean, you can reach across district lines and and and and pull out whoever, whoever's interested actually. 00:58:50
Great. So if that occurs and their suggestions run them through our county manager, that would be helpful for me. 00:59:00
And I also have a great respect for Matt Storm. 00:59:10
He said OK. 00:59:13
Very good, good guy. We need to get those positions filled, so I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to reappoint Mickey and I 00:59:17
and Marvin Mall to the board of directors of the Industrial Development Authority, Ida and appoint Matt Storm as presented. And 00:59:25
I'll second that a motion to 2nd to approve those in favor say aye aye. Item 3L information, discussion action to authorize the 00:59:32
chairman of the Board of Supervisors to sign the. 00:59:40
2024 State and local cybersecurity grant program. Local consent agreement as it pertains to federal numbers of funding 00:59:47
opportunity. DHS-24 Dash GPD Dash 137-00-99 and to Initial Option 2 Consenting to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security 00:59:57
undertaking action in accordance with the SLCGP. 01:00:06
And we have merit again, thank you, Mr. Chair. 01:00:16
Kathy, can we open the attachment that let's see? 01:00:18
I'm sorry, this is a terribly long agenda item, just the first one there. Thank you. Okay, so the attachment on this is enormous 01:00:25
because it includes a federal notice of funding, which you may be familiar is the new mandatory approach that the federal 01:00:32
government is taking on other grant opportunities. 01:00:39
The nuts and bolts of this boils down to the state of Arizona Department of Homeland Security is the states authorized 01:00:48
representative for the state and local cyber security grant program and what they've asked us to do. They being the state 01:00:57
Department of Homeland Security is asking Gila County to complete and submit this form that says that we are consenting to. 01:01:07
Their application for this federal funding, they need our form by next Wednesday in order for them to submit to the feds and the 01:01:18
two options that they've given us here. Option one says we do not consent to them retaining our portion of the funding as per 01:01:26
federal fiscal year 2024. 01:01:34
SLC, GP and that instead we would prefer to receive pass through funding. 01:01:42
If we choose that option, we have a 30% match requirement on that. 01:01:49
If we choose option 2, which? 01:01:56
Is a little bit longer here. The state Department of Homeland Security would apply for this federal funding, would get their 01:01:59
statewide cybersecurity program approved by the federal government and would loop us into that cybersecurity program. And then the 01:02:08
services that they would provide to us are listed on the screen, both for the audience and our constituents. 01:02:17
The state of Arizona's share of this funding? 01:02:27
Is $5,032,682 and in the attachments, if anybody's interested, is the breakout of all 56 allocations that the Fed has made. 01:02:30
Of that $5 million figure, the state Homeland Security would be investing up to 1.1 million in Project One, which are cyber 01:02:44
security software licenses. 01:02:50
Project 2 is 2 and a half million for 24/7 365 centralized State Security Operations Center. 01:02:57
And then Project 3 is 1.1 million for Project 3, which is professional managed services to support the statewide cyber readings 01:03:08
program. 01:03:14
If we choose option two, there is no cost to heal accounting, whereas if we chose option one, we would have a 30% match and we 01:03:22
would have to do all these programs ourselves. So staff would advocate for option 2, but it is up to the Board of Supervisors. 01:03:30
Whether option one or two is preferred choice in either instance, we do need to provide this form signed to Homeland Security by 01:03:39
next week. 01:03:45
Thank you, Mayor and Supervisor Humphrey. 01:03:53
Huh. 01:03:56
I have no question, Supervisor Klein, it sounds to me like we'll probably have to lean on you guys. And it does sound like to me 01:03:59
like option 2 is the better option. So I when it comes to cyber security and all that, I mean. 01:04:07
It's above me motto. 01:04:16
So that's that's yeah, I guess I don't have any questions. Thank you. 01:04:20
OK, very good. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the the Board Chairman to sign the 01:04:26
FY20 24 State and Local Cyber Security Grant Program local consent agreement as it pertains to Federal notice of funding 01:04:36
Opportunity DHS-24 Dash GPD 137-009-99. 01:04:46
And to Initial Option 2, consenting to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security undertaking action in accordance with the SLCGP 01:04:56
as presented. 01:05:02
I'll second that motion in a second to approve those in favor say aye aye, very good, thank you very much. Option 2 it is. 01:05:10
We are now proceeding to our item 4 consent agenda action items. I will ask each supervisor whether they would like to remove one 01:05:21
or more of those items for additional discussion and separate vote. We have items 4A through K Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I I have 01:05:28
questions on Jay and. 01:05:35
J&K All right, well, it's the same thing. Just to give them a month. 01:05:44
OK, so, uh. 01:05:51
I will entertain a motion to remove consent agenda items for J&K to be discussed separately. Let's add C to it. 01:05:53
CCC OK. All right, so after input from all the supervisors for C4J and 4K will be removed from the consent agenda items to be 01:06:05
discussed separately. All those in favor. We have a motion to do that, right? That's so moved. Yeah. Yes. OK. You want to make a 01:06:14
motion? Yeah. Yeah. OK. I move to approve consent agenda items. 01:06:23
A through Z except CJ and K to be removed. 01:06:33
OK, the motion is to approve the consent agenda items. You can do it in that order, Mr. ABDEFGHNI. Then we OK, we have a motion 01:06:39
and a second to approve those particular consent agenda items. Those in favor say aye, aye. 01:06:48
All right, then let's go to item 4C for separate discussion, which is approval of the following appointments to the Northern HeLa 01:06:58
County Range Commission. Appoint Brian Havey for the term beginning January 7th, 2025 through December 31st, 2026 and reappoint 01:07:06
Mark Hines retroactively for the term of office that began on January 1, 2025 through December 31st, 2027. Supervisor Klein. Yeah, 01:07:13
thank you. I, I. 01:07:20
Brian Heavy and and everything that they're they're good people. It's good. What what my question is is. 01:07:28
That's basically, and Joe, you may remember this from back in the day, but that was that Commission was put together to oversee 01:07:36
the shooting range in Payson, right? 01:07:40
The supervisor representing District 1 and you've received that property from the federal government with the agreement that even 01:07:48
county would manage the point board or Commission to oversee itself. OK, so I guess my question is because I I didn't. 01:07:56
I guess I didn't really think about it or realized we had a Commission with those people on there. But there's also a nonprofit 01:08:06
part to that shooting range as well, right? 01:08:11
Provides a lot of the upkeep and maintenance for the thing and operates it on a day-to-day basis and opens it on weekends for for 01:08:19
public use. 01:08:23
Do do we know who the third Member on this Commission is? 01:08:28
Mr. Dan, while oh, it is OK, yes, OK, good deal. And so there's just the three of them. 01:08:32
Yes. And there's been vacancies for a while, OK. And so they're very they don't meet very often. It's just really filling all the. 01:08:40
Dots and lines that need to be filled. Oh, yeah, no, I, I get it. I just, I just had those simple questions about it. I'm working 01:08:51
on a project that will come up later, but I just kind of wanted to ask a few questions on this and, and see, but no, I'm I'm good 01:08:58
with that. OK. I'm good, very good. Supervisor Humphrey, any input there? I have no input on C No OK. 01:09:06
So on this item then, let's have a motion. 01:09:14
I'll make a motion to approve item number C on consent agenda. I'll second that. OK, we have a motion and a second to approve 01:09:18
consent agenda item 4C. All those in favor say aye, aye, aye aye. 01:09:25
And my question on Jay, which would be the same as K and it is acknowledged of the report of the County Manager approved consent 01:09:34
agenda under $50,000 for the month of October. 01:09:43
And, and, and here we are in January and I'm just wondering if there's any way that we could get that information prior to 01:09:53
approving it. And you know, like it like if, if, if we got Octobers consent agenda. 01:10:02
Or ORC or the under 50,000 if we could approve that October in October. 01:10:12
Rather than wait till January or, or, or be able to, to see kind of what, what, what's going on before it's passed. Because if, if 01:10:21
I had a question on a consent agenda, I, I mean, on a county manager's approval under 53 months later, it, it really wouldn't do 01:10:31
any good for me to ask the question because it happened in October And here we are in January, which is. 01:10:40
Completely different year. So that that's that's my only question. And and I and I, I have, I have nothing against what's in that 01:10:51
report. I just, I just would if at some point I had questions about something in the report, I would, I would like to know before 01:10:58
I just say OK, fine. 01:11:05
Mr. Chairman, absolutely. Would it be all right if we work up a calendar of what the process is and, and be able to share that 01:11:14
with you so we can sit down and talk about it, go through it, and then see where we can adjust to tweak the calendar to meet the 01:11:20
needs of getting the information more timely to you? Would that be alright if we do that? Yeah. And I understand it's to, it's to, 01:11:27
it's to help the process. 01:11:33
Go faster and further. 01:11:40
And, and, and I'm just saying if, because if it was, if it, if, if the limit wasn't 50,000, they'd be coming to the board to 01:11:42
approve these contracts. So by you approving the contracts, I I understand and that makes things work smoother, faster. But if I 01:11:50
have a question and some of that I would like to know prior to it being three months. 01:11:58
Passed. Sure. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I'm a very valid request. Very valid That just be tight requested that it be timely and we need 01:12:07
to work on that. Yeah, no, that that that's fine. OK, that's fine. That's fine. And Mr. Chair, K is the exact same question and I 01:12:13
don't have an issue with anything on it. 01:12:19
Just rather than to see it. 01:12:25
Prior and and that's all. So if no one has anything to add to either one of those, I'm good. OK, Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a 01:12:30
motion to accept consent to end the agenda items. J&K and I will second that we have a motion to 2nd to accept items for J&K. 01:12:39
Those in favor say aye, aye, aye, aye. Very good. 01:12:48
Let's move on to item number 5, call to the public. Is there anyone on the Internet? Cassandra. No. Anyone, Lisa. 01:12:57
No one in Payson And is there anyone here in Globe? No. Let's move on to item number six, which is our reports. I will turn it 01:13:07
over to the county manager first. Mr. Chairman, members of the board, as you know, this morning we received a check from Rio 10, 01:13:17
two Rio Tinto Resolution Copper for $150,000. This is an economic development grant from Resolution Copper. That's. 01:13:26
Given to Healer County the purpose and intent that the funds have been given to here. The county is for the renovation, remodel of 01:13:35
the Michaelson Building and for economic development purposes that that'll be used for the business incubator, helping small 01:13:42
businesses in the community and in the area. 01:13:49
Resolution Copper is very excited to partner with the county. City Globe is also getting a similar check next week where it'll be. 01:13:56
These funds will be used for the redevelopment of Michaelson Building 1. Drew thank Resolution Copper. 01:14:02
In our board meeting today for their consideration and for their support of economic development in Healing County also too wanted 01:14:10
to point out that this this Thursday night and the county supervisors association, there's a mixer, a reception where all the 01:14:17
legislators that will be in this new legislators and representatives and senators and the state will be at CSA this Thursday 01:14:24
evening. So. 01:14:32
We can have an opportunity to get to know them, talk to them, let them know our issues and informal meeting to have those 01:14:39
discussions coming that we can have according to this new legislative session. So we're all invited to that reception at 01:14:46
Associated this Thursday and then also on Friday, kind of Managers Association meeting at CSA in Phoenix. That's my report, Mr. 01:14:53
Chairman. Thank you. 01:15:00
Supervisor Humphrey. 01:15:08
Attended a team meeting with Mr. O'Driscoll and Supervisor Menlo and the department heads. Just to kind of get all of us in the 01:15:11
same room to see kind of what's going on and to look down the road a little bit. And I think that's going to be a monthly meeting 01:15:19
now. I will hold the Tunnel Basin community meeting tonight at 5. 01:15:27
Holder, Roosevelt Community Meeting on the 13th at 1:00. 01:15:36
I'll be on KQSS on the 13th at at 5:30. 01:15:41
And and just a question is that one of the presentations today was at the landfill a three-year contract for $40,000, which the 01:15:48
information was fine, but there again it's under 50. So if it was only under 50 with your consent rather than presented to all of 01:15:56
this information would have been in your under 50 report. 01:16:04
So that's that's all I have. 01:16:13
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:16:16
OK. 01:16:18
So. 01:16:20
A week ago I guess I attended the fire meeting in Christopher Creek. Type One team took over the Type Three team on the Horton 01:16:22
Fire. 01:16:27
And So what, what basically you, if you're watching it through Emergency Management, what they're doing is they're burning it out 01:16:32
to the top of the rim. 01:16:37
And, umm. 01:16:42
I don't know whether may change tonight and tomorrow it might shut them down. I don't really know. But there will be some impacts 01:16:44
to the public. Good chance. I think they're already kind of regulating traffic around Coal Branch and restricting one lane off and 01:16:53
on. But as they go up the rim above the trailhead, which is above the state yard down by two or right there on 260. 01:17:02
They'll be closing down the highway. 01:17:12
To burn it out and I don't know how long that will last. Their fear is is they're going to be burning above the banks on the road 01:17:15
and they're furious of things rolling off into the highway. So it could, it could run into a while. 01:17:22
There's, there's, you know. 01:17:32
For people traveling from Payson to. 01:17:35
Force legs solo out that away it's going to be a pretty good inconvenience for folks they're going to have to go quite a ways 01:17:40
around to get around on that one for us and young, we still have the chamber and trail that can be used. We have quite a few folks 01:17:49
that commute everyday toothpaste into work and so so we're going to need to kind of focus on that and take a look but. 01:17:58
But they're doing good I think. And from YCA, ton of smoke coming off of it. I'm sure Payson and Christopher Creek and probably 01:18:07
even as far as Phoenix is getting tired of the smoke. But. 01:18:13
But it is doing well and they are making some headway on it. And so they took it over a little over 1000 acres and they're over 01:18:19
7000 acres now, so. 01:18:23
So that'll continue. 01:18:28
Last Saturday. 01:18:32
Yeah, it's white and it's good. Last Saturday, myself and Kathy, we attended the retirement party for Richard Lunt and Duncan. 01:18:34
It's a really good little get together there. It was at the rodeo grounds. The CSA folks were all there. 01:18:45
Senator McGowan was there, that of course all the supervisors from Green Lake County were there and, and so there was a it was a 01:18:53
good turn out, got a good visit there. 01:19:00
Yesterday I I was in the Arizona, New Mexico Coalition meeting of counties and, and that was yesterday morning. 01:19:08
One thing I wanted to do is in that meeting, I've got the executive director report for the year of what Howard Hutchinson and the 01:19:17
Coalition has done. So I want to hand this out to each of you guys. And if there's someone else that wants a copy, again, do you 01:19:25
want a copy? Okay, take one and hand it on there if you want to take a look at it, and then you can get that one. 01:19:33
A lot going on. 01:19:42
In in the respective public lands and so. 01:19:44
I think what I'm going to do, what you'll see me doing here in the near future, is working with James to put together a work 01:19:51
session to sit down and really talk about public lands and where it's going. 01:19:58
We have the new administration coming in on the 20th. Everybody expects to see quite a few big changes and quite a few rollbacks 01:20:07
on executive orders that's been placed in public land, so. 01:20:13
There's some some things in motion. There's a lawsuit in Utah that's going on that if that goes through and is 1, then it'll 01:20:21
change a lot of the aspect on who who's going to control public lands and ultimately it could come back to the county. 01:20:29
And so there's there's things Kathy had attended a meeting not too long ago in Alamogordo on public land or public land plans, 01:20:38
county land plans. And so that's something that we need to talk about too as a group because that that's going to involve all of 01:20:46
us making the decision. But we want Healer County to look like and be doing in the in the way of public lands. The other thing I 01:20:53
want to tell you guys too is. 01:21:01
You know, we're just coming into this term, obviously we're just sworn in this morning, but this is my last run this four years 01:21:09
after this four years, I'm done and and HeLa County has such a large percentage of public lands. 01:21:17
We really need to think about what that's going to look like after four years. I, you know, and I don't know what you guys are 01:21:26
doing, but but somewhere, somehow there has to be. 01:21:32
Somebody involved with public lands and continued to be involved with public lands in Heala County. If, if we're not, we're going 01:21:39
to miss out, you know, And so I want, I want when we, when I can get this work session put together, I, I want everybody in. 01:21:48
Are you thinking about mentoring someone if you're well that didn't wear the few you know, I I just don't know where to go with 01:21:59
that. And and honestly, Tim, and I'm glad you asked that question is is effective. If you're not interested in public lands you 01:22:05
you you don't don't even make the effort. 01:22:11
Because it's a huge commitment and the commitment that we've been making in there takes up a lot of time. And, and it's, it's 01:22:18
good. I enjoy it. I, I've always enjoyed public lands and, and things like that. But, but these are the questions that, you know, 01:22:24
I, because I don't know what you guys are doing after the term or whatever. And, and so from a county standpoint, we just need to 01:22:31
really watch, you know, before. 01:22:37
We had Jackie that was kind of involved with public, public lands. 01:22:44
Umm, you know, we haven't really went there with Paul both to be down there to, to include him on, on a whole lot. He's been good 01:22:49
on something. So I don't, I don't know where we're at with that, but I do know we cannot miss being at the table over any of this 01:22:56
or we're going to miss out on a lot. 01:23:02
So, um. 01:23:09
This coming up Saturday I'll be holding a town hall meeting in Young and then next week it looks like we're going to be busy with 01:23:11
CSA meetings and ECO. 01:23:16
He goes another one that is we're heavily involved in everything from public land standpoint. Richard retiring is is is going to, 01:23:23
you know, kind of put a hit on us, but but there's good people in eco too. So so anyway, that's out there and. 01:23:33
After that. 01:23:44
That's all I had, I guess. Thanks for what you do. Well, thank you, Steve. And then, like I say, I mean I. 01:23:47
Well, we'll talk about, I'll get with you and we can maybe work on a work session. I don't think it'd be a real lengthy one, but 01:23:56
it'd be some good discussion. 01:24:00
Thank you. So my report is going to be kind of short. I had a great Christmas and New Year's. 01:24:05
I'm really excited about 2025. For some reason, I just think it's going to be better this year and I just really feel encouraged 01:24:12
by that and I think we'll be able to continue helping Gila County to thrive and prosper. I do plan on being at the CSA reception 01:24:19
on the 15th. 01:24:26
Did you have something else? 01:24:34
Hey, how you doing? Yes, I did just want to make note of that our all of our elected officials well ones were recently reelected 01:24:37
were sworn into office this morning and I want to express appreciation to. 01:24:44
The elected officials of Yula County We County do have really good elected officials. They care about the county, they are 01:24:52
invested in the county, and they are conservative, working for the people of Beulah County. 01:24:58
It makes it exciting for me to be able to work with the elected officials of Healer County because of their personal character and 01:25:06
their nature of wanting to help people. And that's what it all means is being in public service and what you do as a Board of 01:25:11
Supervisors is that. 01:25:16
You're constantly out of the public and sometimes take criticism for that and I appreciate that all you do of. 01:25:21
Being able to work tirelessly to help people. 01:25:30
And to improve their lot in life and the things that we can do. So I appreciate each of you and all of our elected officials here 01:25:34
can. And I'm excited to have that scoring in the ceremony this morning. So thank you. You did a good job putting it on too, James. 01:25:40
It, it went really well. 01:25:46
Yeah, it was really good. Thank you for that. And with that, I'll close item 6 and move on to item 7 executive session. 01:25:53
