| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
