Everyone, I'd like to call this regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors together Tuesday, January 21st, 2025. 00:00:01
It's 10:00 AM. 00:00:08
And I have asked our new county assessor, Sharika C, to save the pledge for us. And after that? 00:00:10
The invitation will be by Pastor Anthony. 00:00:19
Receipt at the First Baptist Church in Payson and then before we get started the meeting, I've got an announcement to make about. 00:00:22
OK, Woody, go ahead. 00:00:29
Yeah, go ahead. 00:00:32
OK, OK, I I know some of you know, but others may not but. 00:00:33
Down there in Winkelman, Annie Hinojos, she passed away. She was our director. 00:00:40
In our Senior Center down there. 00:00:46
And so. 00:00:49
Just a wonderful lady. She's been there 30-40 years. 00:00:50
Down there, she's lived right there in the town of Hayden. Been a part of the Hayden bunch over there as well. 00:00:55
In any way, she serviced all the way in that lower corner of us, plus all the way to Saddle Brook and a lot in Pinal County as 00:01:02
well. 00:01:07
Did an outstanding job. Everything we worked with her on, she she was remarkable at. 00:01:11
And she's very political in her community as well as serving on the town council. Winkelmann. 00:01:17
To boot so. 00:01:23
Her services are Saturday, January 25th in Winkelman and if we could, let's stand and give her a moment of silence. 00:01:24
OK. 00:01:33
Thank you. 00:01:46
Sharon, please. 00:01:48
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:01:54
And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God. 00:01:59
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:02:04
Mr. Greasy. 00:02:09
Heavenly Father. 00:02:12
Let's be embraced. 00:02:14
They. 00:02:17

We love you and we praise you in Jesus name, Amen. Thank you. 00:02:45
And. 00:02:55
Thank you, Shara. 00:02:58
Our new county assessor, and it looks like she's hard at work. She's here, she's there. 00:03:01
And that's good. You haven't run you off yet. You're liking it. 00:03:05
Yeah, yeah. Good. I'm glad you're on the job doing that. So. 00:03:10
All right, with that, let's go ahead and start with Item 2, which is our regular agenda items. Item 2A is information discussion 00:03:15
action to authorize the advertisement. 00:03:20
Of invitation forbid number 121624. 00:03:26
For the purchase of a new class 8. 00:03:30
10 Wheeler vehicle. Good morning, Homero. 00:03:33
Good morning, Chairman and board members. 00:03:36
The first item that I'd like to present is an authorization to solicit it. 00:03:40
For the purchase of a new 10 Wheeler for public work Consolidated Rd. Divisions. 00:03:45
The vehicle that we will replace at C zero 29. 00:03:50
It is currently 46 years old and has over 560,000 miles on it. 00:03:53
Umm, the the vehicle is often unusable. It's in the shop quite a bit. 00:03:59
And has his breakdowns and repairs and the seafood, its age and mileage. 00:04:05
It currently has about $161,000. 00:04:11
Of maintenance fees associated with it. 00:04:14
The bids that we have put together is meant to be a competitive bid. It doesn't single out a Caterpillar or. 00:04:18
Four-star or a particular brand of vehicle? What it says is we run a white Truck Series 8. 00:04:24
You'll you'll Axel. 00:04:32
Cummings Engine and Allison Transmission and our growth vehicle weight of 58,000 lbs. 00:04:34
So hopefully that invites folks to. 00:04:40
To offer competitive bids. 00:04:43
This is when we do the budgeting process. This is one of the larger items that we had. 00:04:45
Meant to purchase in fiscal year 25. 00:04:51
The other one was a motor grader, which we've already purchased with your with your authorization. 00:04:55
And five trucks that were talked about that we replaced 8 trucks with the five that Dave Laforge presented not too long ago. 00:05:00
The only remaining large capital equipment that we haven't purchased is a water truck and as soon as we get an okay from you to go 00:05:08
out on this one, we'll start working on the water truck. 00:05:13
And with that, we would like to get your approval to authorize the advertisement to go out for bids for the purchase of a new 00:05:18
Class 810 Wheeler vehicle. 00:05:24
Thank you, Romero. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:05:30
Under 10 Wheeler vehicle, is it going to be a dump truck or what is a dump truck? It is a dump truck. 00:05:32
OK. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:05:38
How many other ones do we have right behind this one? 00:05:42
So we have 15 vehicle, 15 dump trucks. 00:05:45
10 Wheelers and public works. 00:05:49
OK. Of the 15, eight of them are over 25 years old. 00:05:52
And then there's two that are worth 35 years old. 00:05:57
So we have. 00:05:59
Umm C Zero 15. 00:06:04
Which is which we. 00:06:07
Acquired in 1982. 00:06:09
And that one is next, OK. The one we're purchasing today is the oldest one. 00:06:11
We have C zero 29 we acquired in 1978. 00:06:16
Those two vehicles are older than 35 years old. Like I mentioned, there's eight others that are older than 25 years old. 00:06:20
And we use that vehicle replacement plan. 00:06:26
To kind of make decisions, even though it's easy, this is the oldest one with the most mileage, with the most maintenance. 00:06:29
And it needs to be replaced. 00:06:34
So homeroom, we've got another one right there behind it. Is it just because your budgets a little shortcut? 00:06:36
Cover two of them or. 00:06:42
Because if we buy 2 versus 1, we might get a little bit better deal. 00:06:44
There is room. 00:06:51
In public works that probably acquired 2 of them. 00:06:54
Umm, and. 00:07:02
If I could. 00:07:04
Make this contingent upon us not violating the rule of overspending our budget. 00:07:06
If if this fits into that rule. 00:07:12
And I look for the county manager to help me a little bit on. 00:07:15
We have. 00:07:19
Funding available for tools. 00:07:20
OK, in total. 00:07:22
We didn't budget for two. 00:07:24
And I'm just if, if, if it's possible, we I would certainly understand the idea of buying through. 00:07:26
So, County Manager Man Love, could you help me a little bit? Would it be appropriate for us to do that? 00:07:33
Mr. Chairman, through our decline, that is certainly within your purview. 00:07:42
That you have established the budget. 00:07:46
When we budget, we budget the entire amount. 00:07:48
And typically in public works with her colors projects overlap. 00:07:51
Over multiple years. So we are budgeting for multiple years. 00:07:55
And so it would be within the budget. 00:07:59
Of the public works. 00:08:03
Department to. 00:08:05
Acquire 2 of the dump trucks this year. 00:08:06
I just know that your folks put a ton of miles on these trucks on Maryland. 00:08:10
And our mechanics are good, they're keeping them up, but. 00:08:14
Anyway, so that's, that's that's where I would be is if, if you've got the capacity to do 2 of them, we just get you 2 new ones 00:08:18
and. 00:08:22
Get you ahead of the power curve a little bit. 00:08:26
I'd be happy to have the. 00:08:31
That the board item adjusted so that it allows us to go up. 00:08:34
Invitation for bid for for two for two vehicles, if that's OK with that. 00:08:38
With the board. 00:08:43
Perhaps we could get 2 bids, one for one vehicle and one for two vehicles. 00:08:47
In other words. 00:08:53
But what he's saying is. 00:08:54
The supervisor, Klein. 00:08:56
Is saying. 00:08:58
That perhaps we can get them cheaper if we buy 2. We don't know that yet. 00:09:00
So you'll bring this back before us anyway once you have your. 00:09:05
Proposals. 00:09:08
I'd like to. I'd like to get approval to advertise for bids. 00:09:10
And for the bits to say. 00:09:14
To allow us to purchase one or two vehicles. 00:09:17
And that way we can move forward with with this item. 00:09:19
Maybe. Perhaps up to two vehicles. No less than one. 00:09:25
Is perhaps a way to to look at at the. 00:09:28
At the approval, what you would be approving today? 00:09:32
OK. 00:09:35
Thank you, Humira. With that, I'll call for a motion. 00:09:36
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of invitation for Bids number 121624. 00:09:41
To include one or two of these class 810 winners. 00:09:49
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:09:57
We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:09:58
AYE Marrow 2B Information Discussion Action to authorize the advertisement of invitations for bid number 121124. 00:10:03
Grinding and hauling of green waste. 00:10:13
For the Buckhead and Russell Gulch landfill. 00:10:15
Thank you. 00:10:19
This item is requesting your authorization to advertise for branding and hauling of green waste for Buckhead and Russell Gulf 00:10:20
Landfill. 00:10:24
Today we have approximately 4000 tons of green waste at Buckhead Mesa. 00:10:29
And about 1200 tons. 00:10:33
Of green waste. 00:10:36
At Russell Gulch landfill. 00:10:38
The vendor would be providing their equipment and personnel to grind their waste mode. 00:10:41
The waste include stump St. remains, grass clippings, leaves, branches, brush and other similar organic waste. 00:10:45
We prefer not to put bring bring waste in land. 00:10:52
So as to mitigate the methane production at the safety airspace of the landfill. 00:10:55
Processing the the green waste. 00:11:01
Would allow us to use it for erosion control. We can use it for our select. 00:11:04
Sell it or or or haul it through biomass. 00:11:08
And perhaps even for landscaping purposes. 00:11:12
So we would like to do this. Our staff, we continue to continue, continue to have turnover at the landfills. 00:11:16
This is we are concerned for space and we're also concerned for the fire hazard. 00:11:24
We would like to do this and we'd like to move forward with that invitation forbid. 00:11:30
On the grinding and hauling up bring waste. 00:11:35
Entertain any questions you may have. 00:11:40
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:11:42
I have no questions. 00:11:43
Supervisor Klein. No, I'm good. Thank you, homero. 00:11:45
So this is to have a contractor do it for us, not purchase equipment. 00:11:48
Correct funding, not purchasing equipment. We're we're asking a contractor to do this. 00:11:54
That's right. And this would be something that we if we find that to be competitive. 00:11:59
An appropriate it's something that we would repeat every year. 00:12:05
What we're looking at is we're again, this is a competitive we're trying to look for how can we get this competitive. We know that 00:12:09
there's different sizes of equipment, so we'll entertain if the equipment is. 00:12:14
Is larger? How much? 00:12:20
And compared to the smaller equipment? 00:12:22
So we will be the bits will be evaluated by the effective rate of dollars per cubic yard. 00:12:25
And and we plan to pay by the hourly rate that they propose. 00:12:32
And we would be measuring the amount of green waste, that is. 00:12:36
Ground every every week or so because this would be. 00:12:41
Once they come in with a large piece of equipment, we think it'll take up two weeks to grind everything up. 00:12:44
So we would be using our drones and our surveyors to figure out how much was really ground up. 00:12:49
So again, this is another effort on our part to find a way to competitively bid for for these services. 00:12:56
Thank you, Mara. With that, I'll call for a motion. 00:13:04
My chair moved to authorize the advertisement invitation forbid number 12112. 00:13:07
And I'll second it, have a motion second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:13:13
Hi, thank you. 00:13:18
Thank you. 00:13:20
All right, Item 2C is information discussion action that would offer resolution #25-01-03. 00:13:22
Authorizing the installation regulatory signage at the intersection of Daybreak Drive in Sauerkraut, located in. 00:13:28
Unincorporated Globe in HeLa County. 00:13:36
Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 00:13:39
As you know, for state statute any regulatory sign needs to be. 00:13:42
Brought before the county engineer and reviewed and then brought before the Board of Supervisors for approval. 00:13:46
So this is for a yield sign. 00:13:51
Between. 00:13:56
Daybreak Dr. and Swallow Drive here in unincorporated Hill County. 00:13:57
This is a. 00:14:01
Umm Y intersection. 00:14:04
And as you can see, there's. 00:14:06
A left turn officer war drive onto Daybreak Drive. 00:14:08
Currently there is no signage right there and so there's nothing to prevent anybody from. 00:14:12
Just running through that intersection and. 00:14:17
Planning with somebody who's taking off a right officer drive, so we'd like to. 00:14:20
Remedy that. 00:14:24
OK. Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:14:25
Yeah, because of the left. 00:14:28
There off Daybreak, it's almost kind of a blind because that goes downhill too so. 00:14:30
Yeah, I think it'd be. 00:14:35
Good deal to get some. 00:14:36
Supervisor client. I'm good, Alex. Thank you. Yeah, I'm good as well. So let's I'll call for a bit. 00:14:39
No. 00:14:44
That'll be $10 I'll call promotion though. 00:14:47
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution number 250103. I'll 2nd that. I motion second to approve those in favor say 00:14:51
aye aye. 00:14:55
All right. Thank you. 00:15:01
Thank you, Alex. 00:15:03

To provide those services of $18,490.00. 00:15:47
With southwest gas and 248,000 for. 00:15:51
Arizona Public Service. 00:15:55
So, and we ask that you approve this so we can continue to do the great work they're doing in community services. 00:15:57
Thank you very much. 00:16:03
Super Humphrey. 00:16:05
Yeah, honest funding for weatherization. It requires the contractor to be BPI certified. 00:16:06
Yes, yeah. OK. Thank you. There are some small projects though that we can do and we use all local contractors. 00:16:12
Thank you. Thank you. And Supervisor Klein, I'm good, thank you, Paula. Yeah, I'm fine. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. 00:16:22

And we'll get you for the next one too. OK, Information, discussion, action. This is item 2E. 00:16:42
To review all bids submitted for requests for proposal number 091424, Consulting Services. Opioid Abatement. 00:16:48
Wrap around services and award a contract to the lowest. 00:16:56
Most responsive. 00:16:59
Responsible and qualified bidder. 00:17:01
Thank you, Chairman. 00:17:05
This was our only bid. 00:17:07
But we are glad that we received this bid from Wazza, which is a company that we have. 00:17:09
In the pat we've been. 00:17:16
Using in the past for several of our projects. 00:17:18
Walser has proven in the last seven years to be a very excellent partner. 00:17:21
And what they propose to do is typically done. So we do and we think they even go above and beyond by scheduling, they change some 00:17:26
of the projects. 00:17:31
At our. 00:17:36
At our request. 00:17:37
So this project actually is. 00:17:39
Designed to address one of the most pressing challenges, of course, that we are facing in Healer County, which is the opioid 00:17:42
epidemic. 00:17:45
I have been on the opioid fatality review team. 00:17:50
Even for the state now. 00:17:55
And one of the and Healer County is no different than other counties. One of the issues that we have and that we have addressed. 00:17:56
Was that there is no soft handoffs from. 00:18:05
Patients going into the emergency room or getting out of jail. 00:18:10
And these are the wrap around services that we're hoping to do that. 00:18:13
The project is. 00:18:17
Going to be action and impact. 00:18:18
And they will be addressing the gaps. And that is one of the gaps is that people do go into the emergency room and they may not be 00:18:21
ready for actually going into behavioral health or going into substance abuse counseling, but they may need Narcan or they may 00:18:26
need. 00:18:31
So this project, they're actually going to take in and do an assessment of each patient. 00:18:37
That is released from the hospital. They'll be working with the hospitals and and the jail. 00:18:43
To actually identify people that have come in with the opioid, opioid overdose. 00:18:48
Or that they have responded to actually using opioids. 00:18:53
And we will look, they will look at how to sustain them as far as getting them into treatment. Are they ready to go into 00:18:58
treatment? 00:19:02
And they'll be using a tool. 00:19:06
Called the. 00:19:08
Trans. Theoretical model of change. 00:19:11
So you assess the client as to where they need. 00:19:13
So they may just need. 00:19:16
Basic need. They may actually need to go into recovery right away. 00:19:19
They will provide transportation. 00:19:24
They will provide. 00:19:26
Tailored support using UM. 00:19:29
What they need so that they'll continue to be in recovery, and that may even mean. 00:19:32
Using and paying for their bills so that they can ensure they have a safe home to come to return. 00:19:37
Getting them a job, they'll do. 00:19:45
Establishing job interview clothing, getting them. 00:19:48
Things for all of the family members so that. 00:19:52
They will be able to recover in a safe environment. 00:19:55
So like we have used Plaza and they are going to report to us monthly. 00:19:58
The leadership team at Public Health. 00:20:04
To ensure that they're doing. 00:20:07
The things that they said in the proposal and they're also going to be providing a dashboard for us so that at any day and time we 00:20:09
can actually look at the numbers that they're serving and we can share that with you as well. 00:20:14
They are planning on giving us reports all the way through this project. 00:20:21
And to adjust to see if maybe they may need ad staff or to. 00:20:25
Include some of the. 00:20:31
Services that maybe they have it. 00:20:32
And they're going to be providing this hopefully. 00:20:35
For 28 months, so we would recommend that we do give the proposal to. 00:20:37
And I'll speak. Thank you for that, Paula. Sounds like a great program. So Supervisor Humphrey? 00:20:44
Yeah, it sounds like a great project and they have a. 00:20:50
Looks like they're trying to do all they can to help the people Which. 00:20:55
You know, that'll help with our, with our criminal activity, our homelessness, teen violence, you know, it just goes on and on on. 00:20:59
On the things that they'll be able to help if, if they can get people interested in help so. 00:21:07
Thank you very much for bringing that to us and, and I think it's a great program. 00:21:12
Thank you, Supervisor. 00:21:17
Supervisor client is a really good program. 00:21:19
And I look forward to seeing numbers. You're gonna keep track of the statistics or some kind of analysis on numbers and things 00:21:22
like that going forward? Yes. They're gonna create. Sorry. Thank you, supervisor. They are gonna create a dashboard. 00:21:29
That will actually give us all that information. 00:21:37
And we also have they have already created 2 dashboards for us. 00:21:40
In the past so. 00:21:45
Yeah, we will be keeping track because obviously. 00:21:46
Going from the emergency room into the jail, we're going to have different numbers across the board, so. 00:21:50
I'm I'm really curious to see what those numbers will look like and. 00:21:55
And everything but. 00:22:00
You know, it's uh. 00:22:01
Start. It's a big problem, but. 00:22:04
So thank you for doing it. 00:22:06
Thank you. Yeah, Thank you, Paula. With that, I'll call for motion. 00:22:08
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to award a contract to Wowza LLC in the amount not to exceed. 00:22:13
$750,000 in response to request for proposals. 00:22:19
Number 091424. 00:22:24
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. Thank you. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:22:27
Aye, aye. Thank you, Paula. Thank you very much, Chair. Right. 00:22:33
Item 2F. 00:22:38
Information discussion action to appoint Mr. Todd Stroudinger to the. 00:22:41
HeLa County Planning and Zoning Commission. 00:22:45
For the term office beginning on January 21st, 2025. 00:22:48
Through December 31st, 2028. 00:22:52
Supervisor Klein. 00:22:55
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I. 00:22:57
Todd Studying and his wife live out there in El Capitan. I've known him now. 00:23:00
Well, I guess it was during the floods. 00:23:06
Oh yeah, it's been a while. Really good guy, little knowledgeable, seems like level headed. 00:23:09
And so I think he's going to make a terrific fit through our. 00:23:15
Our planning and zoning Commission. 00:23:19
And look forward to seeing on there. 00:23:21
Happy to answer any questions if I can. Supervisor Humphrey if you'd like him, I have no questions. 00:23:24
Neither do I, so with that I'll call for motion. 00:23:30
Mr. Chair, I move to appoint Todd Stroudinger to the Healer County Planning and Zoning Commission as presented. I'll second that 00:23:33
motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. 00:23:39
It's not my intention to create a new world record today. 00:23:47
We'll probably slow down a little bit on this next item, Item 2G. 00:23:52
Information discussion Action to review and approve one of two contract options. 00:23:57
Or four year employment contract between healer county. 00:24:02
And W James Menlov for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31st. 00:24:06
2028. 00:24:12
The supervisors have been. 00:24:14
Provided to copies. 00:24:17
Or should I say 2 contracts? 00:24:21
That are virtually the same. 00:24:24
With the exception of one. 00:24:27
Small portion on Page 3. 00:24:29
Section 6. 00:24:35
Paragraph C. 00:24:38
The two. 00:24:41
Paragraphs in that location. 00:24:44
Simply describe the stipend. 00:24:46
And what? 00:24:51
Examples of what it's used for in a different way. 00:24:53
Now we have the option of going into executive session if needed. 00:24:57
I'll ask our attorney. 00:25:03
To give a brief summary. 00:25:06
Of how we arrived at these two. 00:25:08
Contracts was this. 00:25:11
Because of. 00:25:13
What the board? 00:25:15
Has instructed. 00:25:17
You to do. 00:25:18
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes. 00:25:22
The board had instructed the county attorney's office to work with Mr. Menlov to develop. 00:25:25
A contract for the current. 00:25:32
Four year term. 00:25:36
Of this board. 00:25:37
To serve as county manager. 00:25:39
Negotiated several of the. 00:25:41
Major provisions of that contract. 00:25:45
And there was one outstanding matter that the county attorneys office did not have clarity on. 00:25:49
And that was with regard to this type and for. 00:25:55
Paragraph because we we saw after the executive session. 00:26:01
A different version. 00:26:07
They aren't significant differences, but it's up to the board to decide which of those two. 00:26:09
Suits the board's purposes. 00:26:15
OK, so our option today is to either. 00:26:19
Vote on one of these contracts or defer it. 00:26:23
Yes, for further discussion. 00:26:28
Yes, Mr. Chairman, or if the Board. 00:26:31
Would like to go into executive session to discuss it further. 00:26:33
That can be done. 00:26:37
Selected the agenda item that so states. 00:26:40
OK. All right. 00:26:44
Yeah, I I would like to go into either a work session or. 00:26:47
I would like to chair this. 00:26:53
For another meeting because. 00:26:56
Mr. is in a month to month as of now. 00:26:59
But you just put two contracts in front of Maine and I have nothing in my agenda for those contracts. 00:27:03
I said we're presented with them and and So what we're talking about today, I don't. 00:27:09
We've been an executive session like 3 different times so I'm just assuming that I would know. 00:27:14
What those contracts are? 00:27:20
And so I would I would either like to go into executive session. 00:27:22
Or I would like to postpone it to have the opportunity to see the difference between the two. 00:27:27
And discuss them. 00:27:34
With Council. 00:27:37
Thank you for that, Supervisor Klein. 00:27:39
I do not want to postpone anything. We've we've drugged this out in my opinion far enough. 00:27:43
I want it done. The only thing difference and I've read this. We've had it since. I've had it since. 00:27:49
Last week. 00:27:55
In the last week. 00:27:56
There's not a lot of difference. 00:27:59
And I can read the difference if you would like, Mr. Chair, the. 00:28:01
The thing that people need to realize straight up is this typhoon. 00:28:06
Excuse me? 00:28:10
Is not regular tax money. It's different funds that come from the lottery. 00:28:12
Right, Mr. 00:28:17
And what that has been for and you guys have seen it like during the swearing in ceremonies when we have this stuff out in the 00:28:18
hallway for snacks and things like that. 00:28:23
That gives the county the opportunity to purchase that and put it up there. 00:28:28
Or if we are, you know. 00:28:33
Passing along a retirement gift, a copper splash to, let's just say, a retiring mayor or something like that, that gives us the 00:28:36
opportunity to spend a little bit of money on things like that. 00:28:41
That's what this is all about. 00:28:47
Mr. James has had that for the last four years and and it's just depending on. 00:28:49
On the need and where it is and what goes on, Sherry's been the keeper of the books. 00:28:55
So the books have always been good and told out. 00:29:00
So I if we need to go into executive session to to look at this one more. 00:29:04
For Supervisor Humphrey, I'm willing to do that, but when I come out out of that session. 00:29:10
I personally want it done. 00:29:16
I I want to go on. I want it. 00:29:18
I want it done and I don't mind doing it right here in the middle of everybody and YouTube, so. 00:29:20
Mr. Chair, it's your call. 00:29:25
Oh, thank you babe. I'd like. 00:29:27
You you, you just made a point on a contract. 00:29:29
To blame me for what you just stated. 00:29:35
Was my intentions of holding this up. 00:29:38
And that was not my intention and that was not something that I had ever had an issue with. Well, I apologize if they came out 00:29:41
that way. I didn't mean it for that. 00:29:46
But I will tell you I don't want to postpone it. So if we need to go into executive session then make a question to. 00:29:51
Go over, we can do that, but. 00:29:57
When I come, when I come out, I'm hoping we're done with this and we move. 00:29:59
I will entertain a motion as to whether or not we should recess into executive session to discuss this further. 00:30:05
Mr. Chair, I make a motion to go in executive session. 00:30:12
To discuss those two contracts to be sure that what we're voting on today. 00:30:16
Was something that we went through in an executive session. 00:30:21
I just wanna clarify not to assume. 00:30:25
German so that I understand correctly and for the record. 00:30:29
This executive session is for legal advice. 00:30:33
With the county attorney's office. 00:30:36
Is that the purpose? The purpose of the executive session would be for the legal. 00:30:40
For the county attorney's office to clarify what you presented to us. 00:30:46
OK, right. Do we have a second? 00:30:50
I will second this for. 00:30:55
For Supervisor Humphrey, OK. 00:30:57
So we have a motion and a second to recess into. 00:31:00
Executive session. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:31:04
Aye, right. 00:31:07
Thank you, Samantha. I'd like to. 00:31:10
Call back to order. 00:31:12
This regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors and. 00:31:13
We are discussing item 2G. 00:31:17
Before us, we have two contracts, 1 is a. 00:31:20
And one is B. 00:31:24
And with that I will call for a motion on item 2G. 00:31:25
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve a four year employment contract, Contract E. 00:31:30
With W James Min Love as presented. 00:31:36
Yes, Sir. Mr. Chair, I'll second that. We have a motion and a second to approve contract number for Letter B. 00:31:40
For Mr. James Menloff to be presented with and with that. 00:31:49
I will those those in favor say aye. 00:31:54
I and those opposed. 00:31:58
I OK, we have. 00:32:04
2 to one and Mr. Humphrey wanted an. 00:32:06
Opportunity to make a statement. 00:32:09
Did you? 00:32:12
You you stated the the contract that you yeah be be yes OK, yeah, I. 00:32:14
I just there are some games that has nothing to do with your competence as a county manager. It's more of contact. 00:32:20
Of. 00:32:28
Things in the contract that I don't, that I don't believe in. 00:32:30
And and that is. 00:32:35
Having to having a majority. 00:32:38
Is is our board's privilege and I. 00:32:40
And in both contracts, it's unanimous. 00:32:44
And some things and I don't feel as if. 00:32:46
I I approve of. 00:32:50
Unanimous decisions by a by a board. 00:32:52
And so that's the reason I voted name. 00:32:57
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. And moving on to our consent agenda. 00:33:01
Action items We have items 3A. 00:33:06
Through G Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to? 00:33:09
For one or more of those offer further discussion. 00:33:12
I would. 00:33:17
And that is going to be. 00:33:20
AI believe item 3A you would like to discuss further. 00:33:25
And I'll ask the same question to Supervisor Klein. 00:33:29
I don't have anyone to bring anyone of them to pull off. All right, then we will pull off item 3 and discuss it. Now. It is 00:33:32
approval of amendment #2 to State of Arizona Procurement Office contract number. 00:33:38
0161840 with the SJ Anderson Company to extend the contract through June 30th, 2025. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:33:45
Yeah, when I when I look at the back of the contract and the information that I have on 3A. 00:33:56
It Site Description HeLa County has entered into a long term lease. 00:34:03
Of Pleasant Valley Range District property. 00:34:08
And it seemed to me that. 00:34:13
When? When we started. 00:34:17
Supervisor client, I've I've supported you and all of this and I still do support you. 00:34:19
But it seemed to me that we were going to obtain the property and and in the back when I read that we had entered into a long term 00:34:24
lease. Is that something that we've been all along or is that a? 00:34:30
Is that a recent this? This was put in play right after the project. 00:34:36
Was initiated. 00:34:42
And that is a 20 year lease with it and that was put in place due to the fact we didn't know how long it would take. 00:34:44
To convey the property. 00:34:51
And also the longer it's set. 00:34:53
The worse it was getting without attention so and by doing this lease we were able to go go on with. 00:34:57
Programs. Or at least use and all that and open it up so. 00:35:05
It did fail at the last week, basically the last hour in this last session on the Hill. What, what, what the conveyance. 00:35:09
Of the property. And so now it has been picked back up by Congressman Crane and Senator Kelly. 00:35:18
And from what I'm hearing, which I'll know more about once we get to Nako. 00:35:26
Here in. 00:35:30
End of February. 00:35:32
But anyway, they plan on going on with that. 00:35:34
That bill and trying to get it passed. So again. 00:35:36
Basically from my take on this. 00:35:40
There were things attached to our bill that did not sit well with other people. We were used as a pawn in this. 00:35:44
Bill, it wasn't because people were against what the project was. 00:35:51
It was they were using it for a bus to drive some other ones through and it did not work. 00:35:56
And we were the ones that. 00:36:01
Holding the paper. 00:36:04
OK, Yeah, that's just a question that I had. And so I was. That's why I pulled. 00:36:07
That one to be. 00:36:14
Talked about because like I said, when when it said we, we entered into a long term. 00:36:16
And so I just wanted to see where that was and kind of where it was going, you know, thank you for that too. And let me explain 00:36:21
one more thing that that lease. 00:36:26
Has a dollar amount associated with it. 00:36:31
Yearly. Yearly dollar amount. 00:36:34
But with everything, all the money that we put into it, all the work we're putting in into that project, it's been awash. There 00:36:37
hasn't been any money. 00:36:42
Switched hands between. 00:36:46
The county or the? 00:36:48
So. So we're good there and should be till. 00:36:50
But yeah, that. 00:36:55
That was just why I had a question about that if anything had changed. 00:36:57
Since original and so. 00:37:01
That was my only question. Thank you. 00:37:04
Thank you, Supervisors Attorney Albo, Do we need to vote on this separately or return it back to consent? 00:37:06
That's up to Mr. Humphrey if he wants to withdraw or. 00:37:14
He stated his reason for. 00:37:18
That unless Mr. Humphrey wants to hold on it separately. No. It was asked and answered, and so it was just a question. 00:37:20
Perfect. And I will ask for a motion on. 00:37:28
To approve the consent agenda action items 3A through 3G. 00:37:32
Mr. Chair. 00:37:38
I make a motion. 00:37:40
To accept agenda items. 00:37:42
A through G. 00:37:46
And I'll second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye aye aye. 00:37:47
Call to the public. 00:37:53
Lisa, how are we doing over there? 00:37:55
No, no public Cassandra. 00:37:59
Now, do we have anyone here in Globe that wishes to use item number four, call to the public? 00:38:02
No. Then we'll move on to item number 5, which is our. 00:38:09
Summary of current events, our presentations. Thank you, Marin. 00:38:13
And we'll start with. 00:38:17
Manager. 00:38:20
This chairman like to introduce. 00:38:21
So you know him very well, Mr. Tom Holman, if you could come forward. 00:38:24
We've done some moving around within the GIS and the. 00:38:28
Property management systems that we have at the county. 00:38:33
Have created essentially a different reporting model that. 00:38:36
Where Mr. Holman is. 00:38:41
Has met and made it appointed as a department director. 00:38:42
Department debt can be more responsive to the assessor's office to Assessor Kissy. 00:38:46
And to Russell County that are utilizing this by. 00:38:51
Utilizing a new software, converting to new software and the assessor's office. 00:38:55
Make sure Tom and his staff. 00:38:59
That he will have in the GIS department. 00:39:02
Are accessible to the entire county. 00:39:05
Instead of underneath the umbrella of public works. 00:39:08
So I wanted to make sure you're aware. 00:39:11
At that and the public is aware that we. 00:39:14
Through our property management system that. 00:39:17
Tom is a department director and. 00:39:20
Can be more accessible to the entire county. 00:39:23
Doctor Wake, any comments? 00:39:26
Mr. Holman. 00:39:28
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 00:39:29
County Manager Menlo. 00:39:34
I just want to thank you for the opportunity and the. 00:39:35
Belief. 00:39:40
In What We can do together. 00:39:42
So look forward to working with each and everyone of you. 00:39:44
The job hasn't changed. 00:39:49
Just moving me a little bit higher up the chain for more. 00:39:51
Visibility for projects within other. 00:39:56
Elements of the county. 00:39:58
Thank you for that and congratulations. 00:40:01
Any comments from Yeah, I would like to say thank you very much for not only what you've done in the past, but helping us grow. 00:40:04
And do better as the future and so. 00:40:13
I thank you for taking on the challenge of that. 00:40:15
Climb up the ladder. 00:40:19
And so. 00:40:21
It's a ladder that. 00:40:23
That's not only for you, but it's for all all the Department of Tehila County that are. 00:40:25
Trying to help the public so. 00:40:30
Thank you very much for that. 00:40:32
Supervisor claim. 00:40:34
Tom, you're not the one that's been flying those drones around the country, are you? That's the other top. OK, congratulations. 00:40:36
Congratulations, Tom. 00:40:40
Yeah. Thank you very much, Tom. 00:40:45
Appreciate it. Thank you and. 00:40:47
Yes, Sir, Go ahead. 00:40:50
Would also like to there's an item on here that we approved today for community services department. We have a new community 00:40:52
services. 00:40:56
Department Manager. 00:41:00
With us today and I wonder if Joshua. 00:41:02
Mr. Beck, if you would take a moment to introduce our new Community Services Manager. 00:41:05
Please. 00:41:11
So, as the Board is well aware, starting in. 00:41:18
A year and a half ago, we we've. 00:41:23
We've been covering community services since it moved over to public health or even before then with two of our public health 00:41:25
staff. And Wow, community services, as we've learned, is it's whole new realm that runs completely different than what public 00:41:29
health programs do and. 00:41:34
And learning that lesson when we rehired once Kaylee came back to the health department. 00:41:39
And we were looking for somebody that had a little bit more experience in this area. 00:41:44
Carmen actually applied from City of Surprise. She's been working for the CAT program as a supervisor there. 00:41:49
And even at the interview, Paul and I interviewed her and she had way more knowledge in some of these programs. And I think it 00:41:56
would take Paul and I years to come up with the knowledge and experience level that she had so. 00:42:01
She decided to take the position with HeLa County and she actually moved out here and she's a local right now. 00:42:07
And. 00:42:13
Thank you for having me. I really appreciate the opportunity to work with community services and I'm really hoping that I can do. 00:42:17
Really well for the community in the community services programs and. 00:42:24
Definitely taking on the challenge. 00:42:29
I can say that it is a challenge. 00:42:31
But definitely forward to working with our community. 00:42:34
Very good. 00:42:38
Thank you very much for taking on this challenge. 00:42:40
Capped program. 00:42:44
From my eight years of being a supervisor is definitely a challenge. 00:42:46
In a small. 00:42:51
Community. 00:42:53
When we don't have a lot of resources. 00:42:54
And you still have a job to do. 00:42:57
So I, I thank you very much for reaching out and taking on that responsibility, but with, with Paula and Josh there. 00:43:00
Fantastic. And I'm and I'm sure though. 00:43:07
Help support you and and. 00:43:09
In your new quest and so. 00:43:13
Thank you very much. And if there's ever anything that. 00:43:16
You'd like to talk to me about or I can. 00:43:20
Maybe try to help you with. 00:43:22

Thank you, Mr. Manlove, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:45:39
Yeah, I. 00:45:44
Last last week I I showed up at the Tunnel Basin yard at 6:00 AM. 00:45:46
To ride with some of our. 00:45:52
Our workers and to see what they were working down in Garcia Which? 00:45:54
They've been redoing the roads and I I wanted to kind of see the new roads and so I was able to see what we're doing down in that 00:45:59
area as well as riding some of the equipment. 00:46:04
And then I I was at the Globe Yard at 6:00 in the morning on the 15th. 00:46:10
And kind of did the same in the cloth yard and. 00:46:14
It's it's kind of an eye opener to. 00:46:20
To to do that to kind of see. 00:46:23
What what what our crews are doing and what our equipment's doing. 00:46:27
And kind of where that's at so. 00:46:31
I appreciate the. 00:46:34
The hands on to be able to sit down with Romero and down there maybe and. 00:46:37
And discuss kind of, you know, our future and where we're going and what we're doing with, with our roads because it seems like we 00:46:42
are. 00:46:45
Kind of a construction company because we do an awful lot of. 00:46:49
Of roads and. 00:46:53
And so our employees equipment are very important. 00:46:54
And then? 00:46:59
There was a clean up at the Tunnel Basin Fire Department. They there Roosevelt. 00:47:00
And so they did that on Saturday. I was going to try to help them, but I, I had other things to do. I did attend the Tom Foster 00:47:07
Day. 00:47:11
At the Bullion Plaza in Miami. 00:47:15
That was well attended, they were. 00:47:18
Selling baked potatoes for. 00:47:20
From like noon to four and I didn't have one. I paid for one, but I didn't have one. But they looked. 00:47:23
Really, really good. 00:47:28
And then they had a bunch of auction items, baskets and things. So that was a great fundraiser for Bullion Plaza and in memory of 00:47:29
Tom Foster as well. 00:47:33
Held a Roosevelt community meeting on the 13th at 1:00. 00:47:39
And I was on KQSS radio. 00:47:43
On the 13th at 5:30. 00:47:46
And so that's about all I have, Mr. Chair. 00:47:48
Thank you, Supervisor. 00:47:52
636-6630 That's dark. 00:47:53
In the morning. 00:47:57
It was. Yeah, it was. 00:47:58
Internal base and it was. 00:48:02
It was dark and it was 31 degrees. 00:48:03
And when you're down in that hole, it takes a long time for the sun to come up. 00:48:07
To warm up. 00:48:12
Appreciate your. 00:48:13
Yeah, if you're going to do it. 00:48:17
Dress warm. 00:48:19
By the Klein. 00:48:21
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:48:23
On January 4th, I had a town hall meeting in Young. 00:48:25
And had a really good turn out even first, cold and miserable as it was, there was 70 plus people. 00:48:30
There are lots of good discussion. 00:48:36
On different items of the in the county, but the main conversation was about the 512 Rd. Homer. They all want to know when we're 00:48:40
going to pave it so. 00:48:44
And it's a mess. It's dry. You know, everything's dry. No rain. 00:48:50
So blatant. 00:48:53
He bladed today, it's blown out tomorrow. But. 00:48:55
But anyway, we keep plugging away at that. Some of the other discussions were the short term rental ordinance. 00:48:59
Water issues. 00:49:05
Across the state, which is becoming a big issue. 00:49:07
In the state and I expect to see more movement on that. 00:49:10
This year. 00:49:15
Update on the Vet Center which Kathy presented. 00:49:16
Up there and. 00:49:20
Just overall county issues. So it was really good discussion. I think we spent about an hour and a half. 00:49:21
That meeting going over a lot of stuff. 00:49:27
Last week. 00:49:30
I started off with a tonal NRCD, meaning in Roosevelt. 00:49:31
I'm on the actual executive board of NRCD. 00:49:36
But I'll be stepping back off just as a cooperator. 00:49:40
And looks like Clay Wheels out of Young is going to step on behind me to take my place, which he's really good. 00:49:44
And he'll, he'll do a good job there. 00:49:50
We went on to Phoenix and attended the Eagle meeting. When we got there, we had our voting. We voted in officers again and Jason 00:49:53
Whiting. 00:49:59
Will remain the chair. 00:50:04
And I think this is his second or. 00:50:06
22nd term as chair. 00:50:09
Maybe third and they've voted me in as vice chair. So. So that's all set and tended to. 00:50:11
And then we stayed that evening for the. 00:50:18
Legislative. 00:50:21
Big to do there, which is really good, is crowded. There's a lot of people there. 00:50:22
A lot of good discussion, a lot of people hadn't seen for a while, so it was good. 00:50:26
Mr. Minlove, I did want to tell you thank you for. 00:50:33
Last week, did you put in an awful lot of time with the new supervisors and. 00:50:36
In those meetings over there, and I know that CSA really looks up to you. 00:50:40
On helping with that and it was good and and hopefully those new legislators. 00:50:45
Well, I'm sure they learned everything that they couldn't do. 00:50:50
Don't know if they learned anything they could do but. 00:50:53
Anyway, so but they're on their way. 00:50:56
And today, I'll be meeting with Chairman Rambler in San Carlos. We're going to work on the signature for the IGA. 00:50:58
For funding for their Rd. services down there. That's been a long time in the making homeroom and thank you for that. 00:51:06
Hopefully it all goes well today and we get that signed. 00:51:13
And they can continue on. I know. 00:51:17
We're wanting to get signed before the end of this month because they're supposed to receive a check the end of this month. The 00:51:21
checks for $60,000. 00:51:24
And that'll help them in some of their Rd. maintenance on the Hila County side. 00:51:29
Not Graham County side so. 00:51:33
So I'm looking forward to getting that done as well. And Mr. is it? 00:51:35
Thank you supervisor. I also was at the CA. 00:51:40
CSA, legislative reception, it was a lot of people there. 00:51:45
It I'm not a social guy. It was too crowded and it was too noisy, but. 00:51:51
I was able to meet a lot of people. It was really good. 00:51:55
And the Swedish meatballs were outstanding. 00:51:59
It didn't last. 00:52:03
The board meeting that followed the next day was exceptional as well. 00:52:06
I do believe we have 17 new supervisors in the state. 00:52:11
And so that was the most attended I've seen that meeting. 00:52:15
And we were going around introducing each other. And just as a personal note. 00:52:21
A woman from Cochise County, a new supervisor named Kathleen Gomez said. 00:52:26
Kathleen Gomez from Douglas, AZ Cochise County. She took Anne English's place. 00:52:32
And I looked at Woody and I said, well, I used to know a Kathy Gomez. 00:52:40
So I went and talked to her afterwards. It turns out she is. 00:52:44
The the young woman that I knew. 00:52:49
50 some years ago we. 00:52:52
Our families been on vacation together. 00:52:55
And it was just really quite the experience of. 00:52:58
To reconnect there with that, that was just something. 00:53:01
And then the veterans coffee time every Tuesday was there last Tuesday. Always a good thing. 00:53:05
And the. 00:53:11
Honor Guard, Town of Payson Veterans Post 147 erected a new flag. 00:53:13
A large new flag in Payson at the North End by the Home Depot. 00:53:21
Next to the highway there, and that was yesterday. 00:53:27
So. 00:53:30
Our county assessor was there. 00:53:32
And a lot of other people. It was really. 00:53:34
Really good Payson is. 00:53:37
The official flag capital of Arizona. And we just keep putting more and more up. We like that. 00:53:40
I was on camo G. 00:53:47
Yesterday. 00:53:49
And that turned out to be good, too. So I'm very excited about this next year. 00:53:51
And 2025 and going forward. 00:53:56
For the projects and the momentum that we're going to achieve so. 00:53:58
Mr. Chair, yes, Sir, Pittsburgh, something with me attended the CSA legislative reception that was on my deal and I crossed it 00:54:02
out, but it did spark. 00:54:06
And, and I didn't go, but I, I did speak with a representative Marshall. 00:54:11
And he? 00:54:16
And he has talked to me about carrying a bill on blighted property. 00:54:17
That I've been working on for a long, long time because we've done pretty much everything in the county that we can. 00:54:22
But there's investors that can tie up properties and there's people who pass away. 00:54:27
And there's no responsible. 00:54:33
Person. 00:54:35
For those properties. 00:54:36
And so in the county, we can't do much. It's kind of a state issue. 00:54:38
And from working with Mr. Marshall, he asked me. 00:54:43
If I would like him to carry a bill this year. 00:54:48
So he's getting with our lobbyists and things to. 00:54:51
Go forward on maybe getting a bill passed to help. 00:54:54
Clean up some of our properties that we don't have an owner for if the state will help us so. 00:54:58
My hats off to him because he's one of the first representatives that have stood up to. 00:55:04
To try and help with with that situation. So other than that I I'm good. Thank you. 00:55:10
OK. Thank you. Very good. So if there's nothing else and I will adjourn the meeting. 00:55:17
Thank you. 00:55:21

Everyone, I'd like to call this regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors together Tuesday, January 21st, 2025. 00:00:01
It's 10:00 AM. 00:00:08
And I have asked our new county assessor, Sharika C, to save the pledge for us. And after that? 00:00:10
The invitation will be by Pastor Anthony. 00:00:19
Receipt at the First Baptist Church in Payson and then before we get started the meeting, I've got an announcement to make about. 00:00:22
OK, Woody, go ahead. 00:00:29
Yeah, go ahead. 00:00:32
OK, OK, I I know some of you know, but others may not but. 00:00:33
Down there in Winkelman, Annie Hinojos, she passed away. She was our director. 00:00:40
In our Senior Center down there. 00:00:46
And so. 00:00:49
Just a wonderful lady. She's been there 30-40 years. 00:00:50
Down there, she's lived right there in the town of Hayden. Been a part of the Hayden bunch over there as well. 00:00:55
In any way, she serviced all the way in that lower corner of us, plus all the way to Saddle Brook and a lot in Pinal County as 00:01:02
well. 00:01:07
Did an outstanding job. Everything we worked with her on, she she was remarkable at. 00:01:11
And she's very political in her community as well as serving on the town council. Winkelmann. 00:01:17
To boot so. 00:01:23
Her services are Saturday, January 25th in Winkelman and if we could, let's stand and give her a moment of silence. 00:01:24
OK. 00:01:33
Thank you. 00:01:46
Sharon, please. 00:01:48
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:01:54
And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God. 00:01:59
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:02:04
Mr. Greasy. 00:02:09
Heavenly Father. 00:02:12
Let's be embraced. 00:02:14
They. 00:02:17

Library continues to say all. I pray for men with decisions for new accounting. 00:02:23
I pray they make their decisions in the fear of God. 00:02:31
Thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ, our precious Redeemer. The latter. 00:02:34
Sacrifice. 00:02:42
Since I'm coming. 00:02:43
We love you and we praise you in Jesus name, Amen. Thank you. 00:02:45
And. 00:02:55
Thank you, Shara. 00:02:58
Our new county assessor, and it looks like she's hard at work. She's here, she's there. 00:03:01
And that's good. You haven't run you off yet. You're liking it. 00:03:05
Yeah, yeah. Good. I'm glad you're on the job doing that. So. 00:03:10
All right, with that, let's go ahead and start with Item 2, which is our regular agenda items. Item 2A is information discussion 00:03:15
action to authorize the advertisement. 00:03:20
Of invitation forbid number 121624. 00:03:26
For the purchase of a new class 8. 00:03:30
10 Wheeler vehicle. Good morning, Homero. 00:03:33
Good morning, Chairman and board members. 00:03:36
The first item that I'd like to present is an authorization to solicit it. 00:03:40
For the purchase of a new 10 Wheeler for public work Consolidated Rd. Divisions. 00:03:45
The vehicle that we will replace at C zero 29. 00:03:50
It is currently 46 years old and has over 560,000 miles on it. 00:03:53
Umm, the the vehicle is often unusable. It's in the shop quite a bit. 00:03:59
And has his breakdowns and repairs and the seafood, its age and mileage. 00:04:05
It currently has about $161,000. 00:04:11
Of maintenance fees associated with it. 00:04:14
The bids that we have put together is meant to be a competitive bid. It doesn't single out a Caterpillar or. 00:04:18
Four-star or a particular brand of vehicle? What it says is we run a white Truck Series 8. 00:04:24
You'll you'll Axel. 00:04:32
Cummings Engine and Allison Transmission and our growth vehicle weight of 58,000 lbs. 00:04:34
So hopefully that invites folks to. 00:04:40
To offer competitive bids. 00:04:43
This is when we do the budgeting process. This is one of the larger items that we had. 00:04:45
Meant to purchase in fiscal year 25. 00:04:51
The other one was a motor grader, which we've already purchased with your with your authorization. 00:04:55
And five trucks that were talked about that we replaced 8 trucks with the five that Dave Laforge presented not too long ago. 00:05:00
The only remaining large capital equipment that we haven't purchased is a water truck and as soon as we get an okay from you to go 00:05:08
out on this one, we'll start working on the water truck. 00:05:13
And with that, we would like to get your approval to authorize the advertisement to go out for bids for the purchase of a new 00:05:18
Class 810 Wheeler vehicle. 00:05:24
Thank you, Romero. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:05:30
Under 10 Wheeler vehicle, is it going to be a dump truck or what is a dump truck? It is a dump truck. 00:05:32
OK. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:05:38
How many other ones do we have right behind this one? 00:05:42
So we have 15 vehicle, 15 dump trucks. 00:05:45
10 Wheelers and public works. 00:05:49
OK. Of the 15, eight of them are over 25 years old. 00:05:52
And then there's two that are worth 35 years old. 00:05:57
So we have. 00:05:59
Umm C Zero 15. 00:06:04
Which is which we. 00:06:07
Acquired in 1982. 00:06:09
And that one is next, OK. The one we're purchasing today is the oldest one. 00:06:11
We have C zero 29 we acquired in 1978. 00:06:16
Those two vehicles are older than 35 years old. Like I mentioned, there's eight others that are older than 25 years old. 00:06:20
And we use that vehicle replacement plan. 00:06:26
To kind of make decisions, even though it's easy, this is the oldest one with the most mileage, with the most maintenance. 00:06:29
And it needs to be replaced. 00:06:34
So homeroom, we've got another one right there behind it. Is it just because your budgets a little shortcut? 00:06:36
Cover two of them or. 00:06:42
Because if we buy 2 versus 1, we might get a little bit better deal. 00:06:44
There is room. 00:06:51
In public works that probably acquired 2 of them. 00:06:54
Umm, and. 00:07:02
If I could. 00:07:04
Make this contingent upon us not violating the rule of overspending our budget. 00:07:06
If if this fits into that rule. 00:07:12
And I look for the county manager to help me a little bit on. 00:07:15
We have. 00:07:19
Funding available for tools. 00:07:20
OK, in total. 00:07:22
We didn't budget for two. 00:07:24
And I'm just if, if, if it's possible, we I would certainly understand the idea of buying through. 00:07:26
So, County Manager Man Love, could you help me a little bit? Would it be appropriate for us to do that? 00:07:33
Mr. Chairman, through our decline, that is certainly within your purview. 00:07:42
That you have established the budget. 00:07:46
When we budget, we budget the entire amount. 00:07:48
And typically in public works with her colors projects overlap. 00:07:51
Over multiple years. So we are budgeting for multiple years. 00:07:55
And so it would be within the budget. 00:07:59
Of the public works. 00:08:03
Department to. 00:08:05
Acquire 2 of the dump trucks this year. 00:08:06
I just know that your folks put a ton of miles on these trucks on Maryland. 00:08:10
And our mechanics are good, they're keeping them up, but. 00:08:14
Anyway, so that's, that's that's where I would be is if, if you've got the capacity to do 2 of them, we just get you 2 new ones 00:08:18
and. 00:08:22
Get you ahead of the power curve a little bit. 00:08:26
I'd be happy to have the. 00:08:31
That the board item adjusted so that it allows us to go up. 00:08:34
Invitation for bid for for two for two vehicles, if that's OK with that. 00:08:38
With the board. 00:08:43
Perhaps we could get 2 bids, one for one vehicle and one for two vehicles. 00:08:47
In other words. 00:08:53
But what he's saying is. 00:08:54
The supervisor, Klein. 00:08:56
Is saying. 00:08:58
That perhaps we can get them cheaper if we buy 2. We don't know that yet. 00:09:00
So you'll bring this back before us anyway once you have your. 00:09:05
Proposals. 00:09:08
I'd like to. I'd like to get approval to advertise for bids. 00:09:10
And for the bits to say. 00:09:14
To allow us to purchase one or two vehicles. 00:09:17
And that way we can move forward with with this item. 00:09:19
Maybe. Perhaps up to two vehicles. No less than one. 00:09:25
Is perhaps a way to to look at at the. 00:09:28
At the approval, what you would be approving today? 00:09:32
OK. 00:09:35
Thank you, Humira. With that, I'll call for a motion. 00:09:36
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of invitation for Bids number 121624. 00:09:41
To include one or two of these class 810 winners. 00:09:49
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:09:57
We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:09:58
AYE Marrow 2B Information Discussion Action to authorize the advertisement of invitations for bid number 121124. 00:10:03
Grinding and hauling of green waste. 00:10:13
For the Buckhead and Russell Gulch landfill. 00:10:15
Thank you. 00:10:19
This item is requesting your authorization to advertise for branding and hauling of green waste for Buckhead and Russell Gulf 00:10:20
Landfill. 00:10:24
Today we have approximately 4000 tons of green waste at Buckhead Mesa. 00:10:29
And about 1200 tons. 00:10:33
Of green waste. 00:10:36
At Russell Gulch landfill. 00:10:38
The vendor would be providing their equipment and personnel to grind their waste mode. 00:10:41
The waste include stump St. remains, grass clippings, leaves, branches, brush and other similar organic waste. 00:10:45
We prefer not to put bring bring waste in land. 00:10:52
So as to mitigate the methane production at the safety airspace of the landfill. 00:10:55
Processing the the green waste. 00:11:01
Would allow us to use it for erosion control. We can use it for our select. 00:11:04
Sell it or or or haul it through biomass. 00:11:08
And perhaps even for landscaping purposes. 00:11:12
So we would like to do this. Our staff, we continue to continue, continue to have turnover at the landfills. 00:11:16
This is we are concerned for space and we're also concerned for the fire hazard. 00:11:24
We would like to do this and we'd like to move forward with that invitation forbid. 00:11:30
On the grinding and hauling up bring waste. 00:11:35
Entertain any questions you may have. 00:11:40
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:11:42
I have no questions. 00:11:43
Supervisor Klein. No, I'm good. Thank you, homero. 00:11:45
So this is to have a contractor do it for us, not purchase equipment. 00:11:48
Correct funding, not purchasing equipment. We're we're asking a contractor to do this. 00:11:54
That's right. And this would be something that we if we find that to be competitive. 00:11:59
An appropriate it's something that we would repeat every year. 00:12:05
What we're looking at is we're again, this is a competitive we're trying to look for how can we get this competitive. We know that 00:12:09
there's different sizes of equipment, so we'll entertain if the equipment is. 00:12:14
Is larger? How much? 00:12:20
And compared to the smaller equipment? 00:12:22
So we will be the bits will be evaluated by the effective rate of dollars per cubic yard. 00:12:25
And and we plan to pay by the hourly rate that they propose. 00:12:32
And we would be measuring the amount of green waste, that is. 00:12:36
Ground every every week or so because this would be. 00:12:41
Once they come in with a large piece of equipment, we think it'll take up two weeks to grind everything up. 00:12:44
So we would be using our drones and our surveyors to figure out how much was really ground up. 00:12:49
So again, this is another effort on our part to find a way to competitively bid for for these services. 00:12:56
Thank you, Mara. With that, I'll call for a motion. 00:13:04
My chair moved to authorize the advertisement invitation forbid number 12112. 00:13:07
And I'll second it, have a motion second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:13:13
Hi, thank you. 00:13:18
Thank you. 00:13:20
All right, Item 2C is information discussion action that would offer resolution #25-01-03. 00:13:22
Authorizing the installation regulatory signage at the intersection of Daybreak Drive in Sauerkraut, located in. 00:13:28
Unincorporated Globe in HeLa County. 00:13:36
Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 00:13:39
As you know, for state statute any regulatory sign needs to be. 00:13:42
Brought before the county engineer and reviewed and then brought before the Board of Supervisors for approval. 00:13:46
So this is for a yield sign. 00:13:51
Between. 00:13:56
Daybreak Dr. and Swallow Drive here in unincorporated Hill County. 00:13:57
This is a. 00:14:01
Umm Y intersection. 00:14:04
And as you can see, there's. 00:14:06
A left turn officer war drive onto Daybreak Drive. 00:14:08
Currently there is no signage right there and so there's nothing to prevent anybody from. 00:14:12
Just running through that intersection and. 00:14:17
Planning with somebody who's taking off a right officer drive, so we'd like to. 00:14:20
Remedy that. 00:14:24
OK. Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:14:25
Yeah, because of the left. 00:14:28
There off Daybreak, it's almost kind of a blind because that goes downhill too so. 00:14:30
Yeah, I think it'd be. 00:14:35
Good deal to get some. 00:14:36
Supervisor client. I'm good, Alex. Thank you. Yeah, I'm good as well. So let's I'll call for a bit. 00:14:39
No. 00:14:44
That'll be $10 I'll call promotion though. 00:14:47
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution number 250103. I'll 2nd that. I motion second to approve those in favor say 00:14:51
aye aye. 00:14:55
All right. Thank you. 00:15:01
Thank you, Alex. 00:15:03
Item 2D information discussion action. 00:15:04
To approve funding agreement #216-25. 00:15:07

Good morning, Chairman. Members of the board, thank you for having me. 00:15:34
This grant is actually something we've been doing for a long time and community services and it's just a continuation of last 00:15:38
year. 00:15:42
To provide those services of $18,490.00. 00:15:47
With southwest gas and 248,000 for. 00:15:51
Arizona Public Service. 00:15:55
So, and we ask that you approve this so we can continue to do the great work they're doing in community services. 00:15:57
Thank you very much. 00:16:03
Super Humphrey. 00:16:05
Yeah, honest funding for weatherization. It requires the contractor to be BPI certified. 00:16:06
Yes, yeah. OK. Thank you. There are some small projects though that we can do and we use all local contractors. 00:16:12
Thank you. Thank you. And Supervisor Klein, I'm good, thank you, Paula. Yeah, I'm fine. So with that, I'll call for motion. Mr. 00:16:22
Chair, I move to approve the Arizona Department of Housing Funding agreement #216-25 as presented, and I'll second that motion. 00:16:28
Second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:16:34
And we'll get you for the next one too. OK, Information, discussion, action. This is item 2E. 00:16:42
To review all bids submitted for requests for proposal number 091424, Consulting Services. Opioid Abatement. 00:16:48
Wrap around services and award a contract to the lowest. 00:16:56
Most responsive. 00:16:59
Responsible and qualified bidder. 00:17:01
Thank you, Chairman. 00:17:05
This was our only bid. 00:17:07
But we are glad that we received this bid from Wazza, which is a company that we have. 00:17:09
In the pat we've been. 00:17:16
Using in the past for several of our projects. 00:17:18
Walser has proven in the last seven years to be a very excellent partner. 00:17:21
And what they propose to do is typically done. So we do and we think they even go above and beyond by scheduling, they change some 00:17:26
of the projects. 00:17:31
At our. 00:17:36
At our request. 00:17:37
So this project actually is. 00:17:39
Designed to address one of the most pressing challenges, of course, that we are facing in Healer County, which is the opioid 00:17:42
epidemic. 00:17:45
I have been on the opioid fatality review team. 00:17:50
Even for the state now. 00:17:55
And one of the and Healer County is no different than other counties. One of the issues that we have and that we have addressed. 00:17:56
Was that there is no soft handoffs from. 00:18:05
Patients going into the emergency room or getting out of jail. 00:18:10
And these are the wrap around services that we're hoping to do that. 00:18:13
The project is. 00:18:17
Going to be action and impact. 00:18:18
And they will be addressing the gaps. And that is one of the gaps is that people do go into the emergency room and they may not be 00:18:21
ready for actually going into behavioral health or going into substance abuse counseling, but they may need Narcan or they may 00:18:26
need. 00:18:31
So this project, they're actually going to take in and do an assessment of each patient. 00:18:37
That is released from the hospital. They'll be working with the hospitals and and the jail. 00:18:43
To actually identify people that have come in with the opioid, opioid overdose. 00:18:48
Or that they have responded to actually using opioids. 00:18:53
And we will look, they will look at how to sustain them as far as getting them into treatment. Are they ready to go into 00:18:58
treatment? 00:19:02
And they'll be using a tool. 00:19:06
Called the. 00:19:08
Trans. Theoretical model of change. 00:19:11
So you assess the client as to where they need. 00:19:13
So they may just need. 00:19:16
Basic need. They may actually need to go into recovery right away. 00:19:19
They will provide transportation. 00:19:24
They will provide. 00:19:26
Tailored support using UM. 00:19:29
What they need so that they'll continue to be in recovery, and that may even mean. 00:19:32
Using and paying for their bills so that they can ensure they have a safe home to come to return. 00:19:37
Getting them a job, they'll do. 00:19:45
Establishing job interview clothing, getting them. 00:19:48
Things for all of the family members so that. 00:19:52
They will be able to recover in a safe environment. 00:19:55
So like we have used Plaza and they are going to report to us monthly. 00:19:58
The leadership team at Public Health. 00:20:04
To ensure that they're doing. 00:20:07
The things that they said in the proposal and they're also going to be providing a dashboard for us so that at any day and time we 00:20:09
can actually look at the numbers that they're serving and we can share that with you as well. 00:20:14
They are planning on giving us reports all the way through this project. 00:20:21
And to adjust to see if maybe they may need ad staff or to. 00:20:25
Include some of the. 00:20:31
Services that maybe they have it. 00:20:32
And they're going to be providing this hopefully. 00:20:35
For 28 months, so we would recommend that we do give the proposal to. 00:20:37
And I'll speak. Thank you for that, Paula. Sounds like a great program. So Supervisor Humphrey? 00:20:44
Yeah, it sounds like a great project and they have a. 00:20:50
Looks like they're trying to do all they can to help the people Which. 00:20:55
You know, that'll help with our, with our criminal activity, our homelessness, teen violence, you know, it just goes on and on on. 00:20:59
On the things that they'll be able to help if, if they can get people interested in help so. 00:21:07
Thank you very much for bringing that to us and, and I think it's a great program. 00:21:12
Thank you, Supervisor. 00:21:17
Supervisor client is a really good program. 00:21:19
And I look forward to seeing numbers. You're gonna keep track of the statistics or some kind of analysis on numbers and things 00:21:22
like that going forward? Yes. They're gonna create. Sorry. Thank you, supervisor. They are gonna create a dashboard. 00:21:29
That will actually give us all that information. 00:21:37
And we also have they have already created 2 dashboards for us. 00:21:40
In the past so. 00:21:45
Yeah, we will be keeping track because obviously. 00:21:46
Going from the emergency room into the jail, we're going to have different numbers across the board, so. 00:21:50
I'm I'm really curious to see what those numbers will look like and. 00:21:55
And everything but. 00:22:00
You know, it's uh. 00:22:01
Start. It's a big problem, but. 00:22:04
So thank you for doing it. 00:22:06
Thank you. Yeah, Thank you, Paula. With that, I'll call for motion. 00:22:08
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to award a contract to Wowza LLC in the amount not to exceed. 00:22:13
$750,000 in response to request for proposals. 00:22:19
Number 091424. 00:22:24
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. Thank you. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:22:27
Aye, aye. Thank you, Paula. Thank you very much, Chair. Right. 00:22:33
Item 2F. 00:22:38
Information discussion action to appoint Mr. Todd Stroudinger to the. 00:22:41
HeLa County Planning and Zoning Commission. 00:22:45
For the term office beginning on January 21st, 2025. 00:22:48
Through December 31st, 2028. 00:22:52
Supervisor Klein. 00:22:55
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I. 00:22:57
Todd Studying and his wife live out there in El Capitan. I've known him now. 00:23:00
Well, I guess it was during the floods. 00:23:06
Oh yeah, it's been a while. Really good guy, little knowledgeable, seems like level headed. 00:23:09
And so I think he's going to make a terrific fit through our. 00:23:15
Our planning and zoning Commission. 00:23:19
And look forward to seeing on there. 00:23:21
Happy to answer any questions if I can. Supervisor Humphrey if you'd like him, I have no questions. 00:23:24
Neither do I, so with that I'll call for motion. 00:23:30
Mr. Chair, I move to appoint Todd Stroudinger to the Healer County Planning and Zoning Commission as presented. I'll second that 00:23:33
motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye, aye. 00:23:39
It's not my intention to create a new world record today. 00:23:47
We'll probably slow down a little bit on this next item, Item 2G. 00:23:52
Information discussion Action to review and approve one of two contract options. 00:23:57
Or four year employment contract between healer county. 00:24:02
And W James Menlov for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31st. 00:24:06
2028. 00:24:12
The supervisors have been. 00:24:14
Provided to copies. 00:24:17
Or should I say 2 contracts? 00:24:21
That are virtually the same. 00:24:24
With the exception of one. 00:24:27
Small portion on Page 3. 00:24:29
Section 6. 00:24:35
Paragraph C. 00:24:38
The two. 00:24:41
Paragraphs in that location. 00:24:44
Simply describe the stipend. 00:24:46
And what? 00:24:51
Examples of what it's used for in a different way. 00:24:53
Now we have the option of going into executive session if needed. 00:24:57
I'll ask our attorney. 00:25:03
To give a brief summary. 00:25:06
Of how we arrived at these two. 00:25:08
Contracts was this. 00:25:11
Because of. 00:25:13
What the board? 00:25:15
Has instructed. 00:25:17
You to do. 00:25:18
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes. 00:25:22
The board had instructed the county attorney's office to work with Mr. Menlov to develop. 00:25:25
A contract for the current. 00:25:32
Four year term. 00:25:36
Of this board. 00:25:37
To serve as county manager. 00:25:39
Negotiated several of the. 00:25:41
Major provisions of that contract. 00:25:45
And there was one outstanding matter that the county attorneys office did not have clarity on. 00:25:49
And that was with regard to this type and for. 00:25:55
Paragraph because we we saw after the executive session. 00:26:01
A different version. 00:26:07
They aren't significant differences, but it's up to the board to decide which of those two. 00:26:09
Suits the board's purposes. 00:26:15
OK, so our option today is to either. 00:26:19
Vote on one of these contracts or defer it. 00:26:23
Yes, for further discussion. 00:26:28
Yes, Mr. Chairman, or if the Board. 00:26:31
Would like to go into executive session to discuss it further. 00:26:33
That can be done. 00:26:37
Selected the agenda item that so states. 00:26:40
OK. All right. 00:26:44
Yeah, I I would like to go into either a work session or. 00:26:47
I would like to chair this. 00:26:53
For another meeting because. 00:26:56
Mr. is in a month to month as of now. 00:26:59
But you just put two contracts in front of Maine and I have nothing in my agenda for those contracts. 00:27:03
I said we're presented with them and and So what we're talking about today, I don't. 00:27:09
We've been an executive session like 3 different times so I'm just assuming that I would know. 00:27:14
What those contracts are? 00:27:20
And so I would I would either like to go into executive session. 00:27:22
Or I would like to postpone it to have the opportunity to see the difference between the two. 00:27:27
And discuss them. 00:27:34
With Council. 00:27:37
Thank you for that, Supervisor Klein. 00:27:39
I do not want to postpone anything. We've we've drugged this out in my opinion far enough. 00:27:43
I want it done. The only thing difference and I've read this. We've had it since. I've had it since. 00:27:49
Last week. 00:27:55
In the last week. 00:27:56
There's not a lot of difference. 00:27:59
And I can read the difference if you would like, Mr. Chair, the. 00:28:01
The thing that people need to realize straight up is this typhoon. 00:28:06
Excuse me? 00:28:10
Is not regular tax money. It's different funds that come from the lottery. 00:28:12
Right, Mr. 00:28:17
And what that has been for and you guys have seen it like during the swearing in ceremonies when we have this stuff out in the 00:28:18
hallway for snacks and things like that. 00:28:23
That gives the county the opportunity to purchase that and put it up there. 00:28:28
Or if we are, you know. 00:28:33
Passing along a retirement gift, a copper splash to, let's just say, a retiring mayor or something like that, that gives us the 00:28:36
opportunity to spend a little bit of money on things like that. 00:28:41
That's what this is all about. 00:28:47
Mr. James has had that for the last four years and and it's just depending on. 00:28:49
On the need and where it is and what goes on, Sherry's been the keeper of the books. 00:28:55
So the books have always been good and told out. 00:29:00
So I if we need to go into executive session to to look at this one more. 00:29:04
For Supervisor Humphrey, I'm willing to do that, but when I come out out of that session. 00:29:10
I personally want it done. 00:29:16
I I want to go on. I want it. 00:29:18
I want it done and I don't mind doing it right here in the middle of everybody and YouTube, so. 00:29:20
Mr. Chair, it's your call. 00:29:25
Oh, thank you babe. I'd like. 00:29:27
You you, you just made a point on a contract. 00:29:29
To blame me for what you just stated. 00:29:35
Was my intentions of holding this up. 00:29:38
And that was not my intention and that was not something that I had ever had an issue with. Well, I apologize if they came out 00:29:41
that way. I didn't mean it for that. 00:29:46
But I will tell you I don't want to postpone it. So if we need to go into executive session then make a question to. 00:29:51
Go over, we can do that, but. 00:29:57
When I come, when I come out, I'm hoping we're done with this and we move. 00:29:59
I will entertain a motion as to whether or not we should recess into executive session to discuss this further. 00:30:05
Mr. Chair, I make a motion to go in executive session. 00:30:12
To discuss those two contracts to be sure that what we're voting on today. 00:30:16
Was something that we went through in an executive session. 00:30:21
I just wanna clarify not to assume. 00:30:25
German so that I understand correctly and for the record. 00:30:29
This executive session is for legal advice. 00:30:33
With the county attorney's office. 00:30:36
Is that the purpose? The purpose of the executive session would be for the legal. 00:30:40
For the county attorney's office to clarify what you presented to us. 00:30:46
OK, right. Do we have a second? 00:30:50
I will second this for. 00:30:55
For Supervisor Humphrey, OK. 00:30:57
So we have a motion and a second to recess into. 00:31:00
Executive session. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:31:04
Aye, right. 00:31:07
Thank you, Samantha. I'd like to. 00:31:10
Call back to order. 00:31:12
This regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors and. 00:31:13
We are discussing item 2G. 00:31:17
Before us, we have two contracts, 1 is a. 00:31:20
And one is B. 00:31:24
And with that I will call for a motion on item 2G. 00:31:25
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve a four year employment contract, Contract E. 00:31:30
With W James Min Love as presented. 00:31:36
Yes, Sir. Mr. Chair, I'll second that. We have a motion and a second to approve contract number for Letter B. 00:31:40
For Mr. James Menloff to be presented with and with that. 00:31:49
I will those those in favor say aye. 00:31:54
I and those opposed. 00:31:58
I OK, we have. 00:32:04
2 to one and Mr. Humphrey wanted an. 00:32:06
Opportunity to make a statement. 00:32:09
Did you? 00:32:12
You you stated the the contract that you yeah be be yes OK, yeah, I. 00:32:14
I just there are some games that has nothing to do with your competence as a county manager. It's more of contact. 00:32:20
Of. 00:32:28
Things in the contract that I don't, that I don't believe in. 00:32:30
And and that is. 00:32:35
Having to having a majority. 00:32:38
Is is our board's privilege and I. 00:32:40
And in both contracts, it's unanimous. 00:32:44
And some things and I don't feel as if. 00:32:46
I I approve of. 00:32:50
Unanimous decisions by a by a board. 00:32:52
And so that's the reason I voted name. 00:32:57
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. And moving on to our consent agenda. 00:33:01
Action items We have items 3A. 00:33:06
Through G Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to? 00:33:09
For one or more of those offer further discussion. 00:33:12
I would. 00:33:17
And that is going to be. 00:33:20
AI believe item 3A you would like to discuss further. 00:33:25
And I'll ask the same question to Supervisor Klein. 00:33:29
I don't have anyone to bring anyone of them to pull off. All right, then we will pull off item 3 and discuss it. Now. It is 00:33:32
approval of amendment #2 to State of Arizona Procurement Office contract number. 00:33:38
0161840 with the SJ Anderson Company to extend the contract through June 30th, 2025. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:33:45
Yeah, when I when I look at the back of the contract and the information that I have on 3A. 00:33:56
It Site Description HeLa County has entered into a long term lease. 00:34:03
Of Pleasant Valley Range District property. 00:34:08
And it seemed to me that. 00:34:13
When? When we started. 00:34:17
Supervisor client, I've I've supported you and all of this and I still do support you. 00:34:19
But it seemed to me that we were going to obtain the property and and in the back when I read that we had entered into a long term 00:34:24
lease. Is that something that we've been all along or is that a? 00:34:30
Is that a recent this? This was put in play right after the project. 00:34:36
Was initiated. 00:34:42
And that is a 20 year lease with it and that was put in place due to the fact we didn't know how long it would take. 00:34:44
To convey the property. 00:34:51
And also the longer it's set. 00:34:53
The worse it was getting without attention so and by doing this lease we were able to go go on with. 00:34:57
Programs. Or at least use and all that and open it up so. 00:35:05
It did fail at the last week, basically the last hour in this last session on the Hill. What, what, what the conveyance. 00:35:09
Of the property. And so now it has been picked back up by Congressman Crane and Senator Kelly. 00:35:18
And from what I'm hearing, which I'll know more about once we get to Nako. 00:35:26
Here in. 00:35:30
End of February. 00:35:32
But anyway, they plan on going on with that. 00:35:34
That bill and trying to get it passed. So again. 00:35:36
Basically from my take on this. 00:35:40
There were things attached to our bill that did not sit well with other people. We were used as a pawn in this. 00:35:44
Bill, it wasn't because people were against what the project was. 00:35:51
It was they were using it for a bus to drive some other ones through and it did not work. 00:35:56
And we were the ones that. 00:36:01
Holding the paper. 00:36:04
OK, Yeah, that's just a question that I had. And so I was. That's why I pulled. 00:36:07
That one to be. 00:36:14
Talked about because like I said, when when it said we, we entered into a long term. 00:36:16
And so I just wanted to see where that was and kind of where it was going, you know, thank you for that too. And let me explain 00:36:21
one more thing that that lease. 00:36:26
Has a dollar amount associated with it. 00:36:31
Yearly. Yearly dollar amount. 00:36:34
But with everything, all the money that we put into it, all the work we're putting in into that project, it's been awash. There 00:36:37
hasn't been any money. 00:36:42
Switched hands between. 00:36:46
The county or the? 00:36:48
So. So we're good there and should be till. 00:36:50
But yeah, that. 00:36:55
That was just why I had a question about that if anything had changed. 00:36:57
Since original and so. 00:37:01
That was my only question. Thank you. 00:37:04
Thank you, Supervisors Attorney Albo, Do we need to vote on this separately or return it back to consent? 00:37:06
That's up to Mr. Humphrey if he wants to withdraw or. 00:37:14
He stated his reason for. 00:37:18
That unless Mr. Humphrey wants to hold on it separately. No. It was asked and answered, and so it was just a question. 00:37:20
Perfect. And I will ask for a motion on. 00:37:28
To approve the consent agenda action items 3A through 3G. 00:37:32
Mr. Chair. 00:37:38
I make a motion. 00:37:40
To accept agenda items. 00:37:42
A through G. 00:37:46
And I'll second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye aye aye. 00:37:47
Call to the public. 00:37:53
Lisa, how are we doing over there? 00:37:55
No, no public Cassandra. 00:37:59
Now, do we have anyone here in Globe that wishes to use item number four, call to the public? 00:38:02
No. Then we'll move on to item number 5, which is our. 00:38:09
Summary of current events, our presentations. Thank you, Marin. 00:38:13
And we'll start with. 00:38:17
Manager. 00:38:20
This chairman like to introduce. 00:38:21
So you know him very well, Mr. Tom Holman, if you could come forward. 00:38:24
We've done some moving around within the GIS and the. 00:38:28
Property management systems that we have at the county. 00:38:33
Have created essentially a different reporting model that. 00:38:36
Where Mr. Holman is. 00:38:41
Has met and made it appointed as a department director. 00:38:42
Department debt can be more responsive to the assessor's office to Assessor Kissy. 00:38:46
And to Russell County that are utilizing this by. 00:38:51
Utilizing a new software, converting to new software and the assessor's office. 00:38:55
Make sure Tom and his staff. 00:38:59
That he will have in the GIS department. 00:39:02
Are accessible to the entire county. 00:39:05
Instead of underneath the umbrella of public works. 00:39:08
So I wanted to make sure you're aware. 00:39:11
At that and the public is aware that we. 00:39:14
Through our property management system that. 00:39:17
Tom is a department director and. 00:39:20
Can be more accessible to the entire county. 00:39:23
Doctor Wake, any comments? 00:39:26
Mr. Holman. 00:39:28
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 00:39:29
County Manager Menlo. 00:39:34
I just want to thank you for the opportunity and the. 00:39:35
Belief. 00:39:40
In What We can do together. 00:39:42
So look forward to working with each and everyone of you. 00:39:44
The job hasn't changed. 00:39:49
Just moving me a little bit higher up the chain for more. 00:39:51
Visibility for projects within other. 00:39:56
Elements of the county. 00:39:58
Thank you for that and congratulations. 00:40:01
Any comments from Yeah, I would like to say thank you very much for not only what you've done in the past, but helping us grow. 00:40:04
And do better as the future and so. 00:40:13
I thank you for taking on the challenge of that. 00:40:15
Climb up the ladder. 00:40:19
And so. 00:40:21
It's a ladder that. 00:40:23
That's not only for you, but it's for all all the Department of Tehila County that are. 00:40:25
Trying to help the public so. 00:40:30
Thank you very much for that. 00:40:32
Supervisor claim. 00:40:34
Tom, you're not the one that's been flying those drones around the country, are you? That's the other top. OK, congratulations. 00:40:36
Congratulations, Tom. 00:40:40
Yeah. Thank you very much, Tom. 00:40:45
Appreciate it. Thank you and. 00:40:47
Yes, Sir, Go ahead. 00:40:50
Would also like to there's an item on here that we approved today for community services department. We have a new community 00:40:52
services. 00:40:56
Department Manager. 00:41:00
With us today and I wonder if Joshua. 00:41:02
Mr. Beck, if you would take a moment to introduce our new Community Services Manager. 00:41:05
Please. 00:41:11
So, as the Board is well aware, starting in. 00:41:18
A year and a half ago, we we've. 00:41:23
We've been covering community services since it moved over to public health or even before then with two of our public health 00:41:25
staff. And Wow, community services, as we've learned, is it's whole new realm that runs completely different than what public 00:41:29
health programs do and. 00:41:34
And learning that lesson when we rehired once Kaylee came back to the health department. 00:41:39
And we were looking for somebody that had a little bit more experience in this area. 00:41:44
Carmen actually applied from City of Surprise. She's been working for the CAT program as a supervisor there. 00:41:49
And even at the interview, Paul and I interviewed her and she had way more knowledge in some of these programs. And I think it 00:41:56
would take Paul and I years to come up with the knowledge and experience level that she had so. 00:42:01
She decided to take the position with HeLa County and she actually moved out here and she's a local right now. 00:42:07
And. 00:42:13
Thank you for having me. I really appreciate the opportunity to work with community services and I'm really hoping that I can do. 00:42:17
Really well for the community in the community services programs and. 00:42:24
Definitely taking on the challenge. 00:42:29
I can say that it is a challenge. 00:42:31
But definitely forward to working with our community. 00:42:34
Very good. 00:42:38
Thank you very much for taking on this challenge. 00:42:40
Capped program. 00:42:44
From my eight years of being a supervisor is definitely a challenge. 00:42:46
In a small. 00:42:51
Community. 00:42:53
When we don't have a lot of resources. 00:42:54
And you still have a job to do. 00:42:57
So I, I thank you very much for reaching out and taking on that responsibility, but with, with Paula and Josh there. 00:43:00
Fantastic. And I'm and I'm sure though. 00:43:07
Help support you and and. 00:43:09
In your new quest and so. 00:43:13
Thank you very much. And if there's ever anything that. 00:43:16
You'd like to talk to me about or I can. 00:43:20
Maybe try to help you with. 00:43:22
Because I was in the contracting business for years and so I still know some of the people so. 00:43:25
If there's anything that I can help your program with. 00:43:30
Feel free to call me anytime. 00:43:33
Appreciate that. You bet. Supervisor Klein, congratulations and welcome aboard you. You do have a busy department, so. 00:43:35
Anything I do to help, just holler and. 00:43:43
We'll go forward. 00:43:46
Thank you. 00:43:47
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Carmen, for coming on board. We look forward to working with you. 00:43:48
OK. Thanks guys. 00:43:52

And then the board of directors meeting for county Supervisors Association. 00:45:10
This week we'll be attending a. 00:45:16
Arizona City County Managers Association. 00:45:19

Share and be able to. 00:45:29
Work together better as different government governments within Arizona, particularly county. 00:45:31
As mayor Horton chairman. 00:45:37
Thank you, Mr. Manlove, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:45:39
Yeah, I. 00:45:44
Last last week I I showed up at the Tunnel Basin yard at 6:00 AM. 00:45:46
To ride with some of our. 00:45:52
Our workers and to see what they were working down in Garcia Which? 00:45:54
They've been redoing the roads and I I wanted to kind of see the new roads and so I was able to see what we're doing down in that 00:45:59
area as well as riding some of the equipment. 00:46:04
And then I I was at the Globe Yard at 6:00 in the morning on the 15th. 00:46:10
And kind of did the same in the cloth yard and. 00:46:14
It's it's kind of an eye opener to. 00:46:20
To to do that to kind of see. 00:46:23
What what what our crews are doing and what our equipment's doing. 00:46:27
And kind of where that's at so. 00:46:31
I appreciate the. 00:46:34
The hands on to be able to sit down with Romero and down there maybe and. 00:46:37
And discuss kind of, you know, our future and where we're going and what we're doing with, with our roads because it seems like we 00:46:42
are. 00:46:45
Kind of a construction company because we do an awful lot of. 00:46:49
Of roads and. 00:46:53
And so our employees equipment are very important. 00:46:54
And then? 00:46:59
There was a clean up at the Tunnel Basin Fire Department. They there Roosevelt. 00:47:00
And so they did that on Saturday. I was going to try to help them, but I, I had other things to do. I did attend the Tom Foster 00:47:07
Day. 00:47:11
At the Bullion Plaza in Miami. 00:47:15
That was well attended, they were. 00:47:18
Selling baked potatoes for. 00:47:20
From like noon to four and I didn't have one. I paid for one, but I didn't have one. But they looked. 00:47:23
Really, really good. 00:47:28
And then they had a bunch of auction items, baskets and things. So that was a great fundraiser for Bullion Plaza and in memory of 00:47:29
Tom Foster as well. 00:47:33
Held a Roosevelt community meeting on the 13th at 1:00. 00:47:39
And I was on KQSS radio. 00:47:43
On the 13th at 5:30. 00:47:46
And so that's about all I have, Mr. Chair. 00:47:48
Thank you, Supervisor. 00:47:52
636-6630 That's dark. 00:47:53
In the morning. 00:47:57
It was. Yeah, it was. 00:47:58
Internal base and it was. 00:48:02
It was dark and it was 31 degrees. 00:48:03
And when you're down in that hole, it takes a long time for the sun to come up. 00:48:07
To warm up. 00:48:12
Appreciate your. 00:48:13
Yeah, if you're going to do it. 00:48:17
Dress warm. 00:48:19
By the Klein. 00:48:21
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:48:23
On January 4th, I had a town hall meeting in Young. 00:48:25
And had a really good turn out even first, cold and miserable as it was, there was 70 plus people. 00:48:30
There are lots of good discussion. 00:48:36
On different items of the in the county, but the main conversation was about the 512 Rd. Homer. They all want to know when we're 00:48:40
going to pave it so. 00:48:44
And it's a mess. It's dry. You know, everything's dry. No rain. 00:48:50
So blatant. 00:48:53
He bladed today, it's blown out tomorrow. But. 00:48:55
But anyway, we keep plugging away at that. Some of the other discussions were the short term rental ordinance. 00:48:59
Water issues. 00:49:05
Across the state, which is becoming a big issue. 00:49:07
In the state and I expect to see more movement on that. 00:49:10
This year. 00:49:15
Update on the Vet Center which Kathy presented. 00:49:16
Up there and. 00:49:20
Just overall county issues. So it was really good discussion. I think we spent about an hour and a half. 00:49:21
That meeting going over a lot of stuff. 00:49:27
Last week. 00:49:30
I started off with a tonal NRCD, meaning in Roosevelt. 00:49:31
I'm on the actual executive board of NRCD. 00:49:36
But I'll be stepping back off just as a cooperator. 00:49:40
And looks like Clay Wheels out of Young is going to step on behind me to take my place, which he's really good. 00:49:44
And he'll, he'll do a good job there. 00:49:50
We went on to Phoenix and attended the Eagle meeting. When we got there, we had our voting. We voted in officers again and Jason 00:49:53
Whiting. 00:49:59
Will remain the chair. 00:50:04
And I think this is his second or. 00:50:06
22nd term as chair. 00:50:09
Maybe third and they've voted me in as vice chair. So. So that's all set and tended to. 00:50:11
And then we stayed that evening for the. 00:50:18
Legislative. 00:50:21
Big to do there, which is really good, is crowded. There's a lot of people there. 00:50:22
A lot of good discussion, a lot of people hadn't seen for a while, so it was good. 00:50:26
Mr. Minlove, I did want to tell you thank you for. 00:50:33
Last week, did you put in an awful lot of time with the new supervisors and. 00:50:36
In those meetings over there, and I know that CSA really looks up to you. 00:50:40
On helping with that and it was good and and hopefully those new legislators. 00:50:45
Well, I'm sure they learned everything that they couldn't do. 00:50:50
Don't know if they learned anything they could do but. 00:50:53
Anyway, so but they're on their way. 00:50:56
And today, I'll be meeting with Chairman Rambler in San Carlos. We're going to work on the signature for the IGA. 00:50:58
For funding for their Rd. services down there. That's been a long time in the making homeroom and thank you for that. 00:51:06
Hopefully it all goes well today and we get that signed. 00:51:13
And they can continue on. I know. 00:51:17
We're wanting to get signed before the end of this month because they're supposed to receive a check the end of this month. The 00:51:21
checks for $60,000. 00:51:24
And that'll help them in some of their Rd. maintenance on the Hila County side. 00:51:29
Not Graham County side so. 00:51:33
So I'm looking forward to getting that done as well. And Mr. is it? 00:51:35
Thank you supervisor. I also was at the CA. 00:51:40
CSA, legislative reception, it was a lot of people there. 00:51:45
It I'm not a social guy. It was too crowded and it was too noisy, but. 00:51:51
I was able to meet a lot of people. It was really good. 00:51:55
And the Swedish meatballs were outstanding. 00:51:59
It didn't last. 00:52:03
The board meeting that followed the next day was exceptional as well. 00:52:06
I do believe we have 17 new supervisors in the state. 00:52:11
And so that was the most attended I've seen that meeting. 00:52:15
And we were going around introducing each other. And just as a personal note. 00:52:21
A woman from Cochise County, a new supervisor named Kathleen Gomez said. 00:52:26
Kathleen Gomez from Douglas, AZ Cochise County. She took Anne English's place. 00:52:32
And I looked at Woody and I said, well, I used to know a Kathy Gomez. 00:52:40
So I went and talked to her afterwards. It turns out she is. 00:52:44
The the young woman that I knew. 00:52:49
50 some years ago we. 00:52:52
Our families been on vacation together. 00:52:55
And it was just really quite the experience of. 00:52:58
To reconnect there with that, that was just something. 00:53:01
And then the veterans coffee time every Tuesday was there last Tuesday. Always a good thing. 00:53:05
And the. 00:53:11
Honor Guard, Town of Payson Veterans Post 147 erected a new flag. 00:53:13
A large new flag in Payson at the North End by the Home Depot. 00:53:21
Next to the highway there, and that was yesterday. 00:53:27
So. 00:53:30
Our county assessor was there. 00:53:32
And a lot of other people. It was really. 00:53:34
Really good Payson is. 00:53:37
The official flag capital of Arizona. And we just keep putting more and more up. We like that. 00:53:40
I was on camo G. 00:53:47
Yesterday. 00:53:49
And that turned out to be good, too. So I'm very excited about this next year. 00:53:51
And 2025 and going forward. 00:53:56
For the projects and the momentum that we're going to achieve so. 00:53:58
Mr. Chair, yes, Sir, Pittsburgh, something with me attended the CSA legislative reception that was on my deal and I crossed it 00:54:02
out, but it did spark. 00:54:06
And, and I didn't go, but I, I did speak with a representative Marshall. 00:54:11
And he? 00:54:16
And he has talked to me about carrying a bill on blighted property. 00:54:17
That I've been working on for a long, long time because we've done pretty much everything in the county that we can. 00:54:22
But there's investors that can tie up properties and there's people who pass away. 00:54:27
And there's no responsible. 00:54:33
Person. 00:54:35
For those properties. 00:54:36
And so in the county, we can't do much. It's kind of a state issue. 00:54:38
And from working with Mr. Marshall, he asked me. 00:54:43
If I would like him to carry a bill this year. 00:54:48
So he's getting with our lobbyists and things to. 00:54:51
Go forward on maybe getting a bill passed to help. 00:54:54
Clean up some of our properties that we don't have an owner for if the state will help us so. 00:54:58
My hats off to him because he's one of the first representatives that have stood up to. 00:55:04
To try and help with with that situation. So other than that I I'm good. Thank you. 00:55:10
OK. Thank you. Very good. So if there's nothing else and I will adjourn the meeting. 00:55:17
Thank you. 00:55:21
