Testing, testing, testing. 00:00:01
Testing, testing. 00:00:07
OK. So we're ready to go. Good morning, everyone. 00:00:12
Well, it's May 6, 2025, Tuesday, regular Board of Supervisors meeting. It's 10 AM. 00:00:16
And I've asked Cherrygrice if she would lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:23
And then, Marin, would you be happy to offer our prayer this morning after that? 00:00:27
Thank you. 00:00:31
I pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:34
Of the United States of America. 00:00:37
Republic for which it stands. 00:00:40
One nation under God, indivisible. 00:00:42
Please join me in prayer. 00:00:53
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunity to gather here today in service to the people of Gila County. 00:00:55
Please grant us the wisdom. 00:01:02
Guidance and. 00:01:04
To hear your voice. 00:01:06
Among all the voices that we hear every day. 00:01:08
Help us tune out the noise and focus on your will. 00:01:12
That we may serve your people. 00:01:15
In your name, Amen. 00:01:18
Thank you. And I guess I'll just stay here. 00:01:20
OK, Item 2A presentations. 00:01:28
Presentation of Hewitt County General Fund financial data as it compares to the fiscal year 2025 he the county budget. 00:01:32
And fiscal years 24232221 and 20 and 19 year to date performance. Good morning again. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, 00:01:38
Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein, I know that you have a very busy agenda and many people here today, so I will. 00:01:46
Keep this short. 00:01:54
This is our monthly update, which we will include with the annual budget book when we publish that for. 00:01:55
2026. 00:02:02
The highlights for today are just that. 00:02:04
We are very close to target for general fund revenues at the end of February. 00:02:08
At the end of February, general fund revenues were at 65% of the target. 00:02:14
I'm sorry, 65% of the budget? 00:02:19
Compared to a 67% target for the eight months year to date. 00:02:21
We are $3.28 million less than the prior year because of the state Department of Veterans Services $3,000,000 grant that we 00:02:27
received as one time funding in the prior year. 00:02:33
Without that, the only difference is $227,000. 00:02:40
Due to the timing of state shared excise tax. 00:02:45
General fund expenditures are at 69% of the budget. 00:02:49
Compared to an 8 month target of 67%. 00:02:53
And are about a million and a half more than the prior year. 00:02:56
That year over year difference is attributable to salaries and Ers and where we're keeping. 00:03:00
Department as in general fund as opposed to being split out. 00:03:06
And those are all as expected. 00:03:11
Happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:03:14
Thank you, Marin Supervisor Humphrey. 00:03:15
I have no question. 00:03:18
Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Neither do I. Thank you, man. Great. Thank you. Yeah, good report. Thank you very much. 00:03:19
Thank you. We'll be back next month. OK. 00:03:24
Appreciate you. 00:03:29
Item 3A is part of our public hearing. 00:03:30
Information discussion action to about Resolution number 250501. 00:03:34
Authorizing an increase in the fees charged by the Gila County Justice Courts and Superior Court. 00:03:40
As outlined in Additional administrative fee schedule which will go into effect. 00:03:45
On July 1, 2025. Good morning, John. 00:03:49
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 00:03:53
On February 25th I presented it a board work session. 00:03:57
Asking for review and input on the judicial fee schedule. 00:04:00
I certainly appreciated the candor, questions and direction provided as a result of that meeting. 00:04:05
And we incorporated the feedback and input of the board into an updated proposal. 00:04:11
We feel that the updated proposal is in the best interest of Hilo County. 00:04:16
Judicial fees will provide us a funding stream to fund unfunded mandates. 00:04:21
The board is authorized to approve local fees to defray services. 00:04:26
Service expenses associated with the implementation of these mandates. 00:04:30
And I use the term defray intentionally. 00:04:35
That is the term used in the statute that authorizes the fees. 00:04:38
And our fee proposal certainly a lot aligns. 00:04:42
With the requirements and statute. 00:04:45
The implementation of judicial fees requires a public hearing. 00:04:48
Notice of public hearing ran for three weeks and pacing roundup. 00:04:52
The notification also advised the public. 00:04:57
That they could receive a copy of the proposed fee schedule by contacting court administration. 00:04:59
We received no inquiries. 00:05:04
And now I believe the proposal is right for board decision. 00:05:07
Thank you, John. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:05:11
I I have no question, no thank you. 00:05:15
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Jonathan, thank you. I'm good as well. 00:05:17
Thank you, Jonathan. And a lot of people say, well, it's not a lot of money or whatever and. 00:05:21
We can't charge whatever we want. We're not going to make money. People need to know. 00:05:26
That this is to offset the costs. 00:05:30
So that the burden is not just strictly on taxpayers, but on. 00:05:33
Those who are in the court. 00:05:36
Exactly. And so thank you very much for that. And so with that. 00:05:38
I'll close that discussion and open it up for public hearing. Is there anyone here in Globe? 00:05:42
Or on the Internet. 00:05:48
Or in Payson that wishes to speak to this item. 00:05:50
OK. I will then close the public hearing portion call for motion on Item 3. 00:05:55
Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt resolution #25-05-01 and Mr. Cheryl, second motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:06:00
Aye. Thank you, John. Thank you very much. 00:06:11
Item 3B. Also Public hearing information discussion action to adopt ordinance #2025-01 vacation rentals and short term rentals and 00:06:15
repeal previously adopted ordinance #2023-08 Vacation rental and Short Term rental. 00:06:23
Uses Good morning, Randy. Morning, supervisors. Hope everyone's having a wonderful day. 00:06:32
Hopefully this goes as quick as the last two half. 00:06:38
Umm, so again, we are here. We have already adopted an ordinance. 00:06:40
We're here to repeal that prior ordinance and adopt the new ordinance. 00:06:45
We've worked with the group. 00:06:49
People have talked before, had several work sessions that I'm sure you guys all remember. 00:06:52
And I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:06:58
As we report. 00:07:01
Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:07:04
Yeah, Randy, I, I just want to say that I appreciate the communication back and forth to change these ordinances if you. 00:07:07
To work with them as we feel best fit and to also. 00:07:16
The people with them. 00:07:21
Because it's a difficult deal reinventing the wheel. 00:07:23
And so I appreciate the flexibility of being able to work with the people. 00:07:27
As much as we can and still be within legal bounds. 00:07:32
Thank you very much. 00:07:36
Supervisor Klein. 00:07:38
Randy, thanks. And there's been a lot of time spent on that. 00:07:39
You know, and so hopefully we're at the point with with our. 00:07:43
Folks has helped pull this together and get back on the right track. 00:07:47
The only one thing I want to. 00:07:51
Ask you to make sure we still have that commitment. 00:07:53
Is there's folks out there that are working with whatever it is well tough sheds for rentals or? 00:07:56
Or older RV's or the teepee. 00:08:02
Issue. 00:08:05
You made the commitment before that you have worked with these people to help, you know. 00:08:06
Work with them to bring them up to snuff where they. 00:08:11
They need to be to use them and we're still on board with that crash. We're still on board that again, there'll be some hurdles 00:08:13
that have to get. 00:08:17
Over, but yes, we will commit to working with them to achieve what they want to do with those structures. 00:08:21
OK. 00:08:28
Thank you. 00:08:31
Yeah, I'm good. OK. 00:08:32
Yeah, Randy, just to let everyone know this. 00:08:34
Our legal department recommended the repeal and reinstatement. 00:08:37
Of the new document. 00:08:41
Umm, just because that's what they recommended rather than just calling it a revised something. 00:08:43
And much of the changes that have been made are as a result of the public input. 00:08:48
And I see that most of the changes also. 00:08:54
Ease up on the regulations a lot, especially when it comes to. 00:08:59
The sex offender thing, that was a real hot topic. 00:09:04
And so. 00:09:09
We've eliminated a lot of the concerns. We've actually lowered the price slightly so. 00:09:10
That's where we're at, and I will say that I've worked. 00:09:15
Quite well with the County Attorney. 00:09:18
And the attorney for one of the groups in this, we've worked closely with all of them trying to achieve what we have before you 00:09:20
today. 00:09:24
OK. Thank you, Randy, for all you've done and everyone involved. So. 00:09:29
The comments now and open it up for public hearing. 00:09:33
We'll just go through this systematically. The weather's here in Globe. 00:09:37
And the Board of Supervisors is Mr. Bob Turner. He lives in. 00:09:43
And he's been, uh. 00:09:48
Before us on other occasions with regard to this, come on up, please. 00:09:50
And, umm. 00:09:55
Like to unless you have something super profound. 00:09:56
Fit it into 3 minutes. Yeah, it should be pretty quick. Thank you. Let me speak. 00:10:00
Just a couple like house cleaning items and then a couple concerns that some of the owners have. 00:10:04
Mr. Klein already covered one of the big, huge concern. 00:10:09
As far as? 00:10:14
A lot of the owners are just curious, how is this going to come into effect? Are we going to be notified? Do we have to? Do we 00:10:15
have to get a hold of the county? 00:10:19
Is there paperwork already in place that we're going to receive? 00:10:23
And uh. 00:10:27
One of the concerns was that the effective date on it is June 2nd. 00:10:29
We don't think that's enough time to get everything done. 00:10:33
That's less than a month away. 00:10:35
So we'd like to see that push back to like this, at least the 60 days where we get all our paperwork in and everything done. 00:10:37
One of the things I think would be important too is when the when somebody applies for the permit, there is the document that you 00:10:45
want posted. 00:10:49
This is under. 00:10:53
3.6 point 12 the document they posted. 00:10:55
Doorway that has the rules and everything. 00:10:59
If the county could provide that with the owners when they get their permit and that that way we know we have the official 00:11:02
paperwork that you want. 00:11:06
Posted in the Houses. 00:11:10
Or whatever the case can be. 00:11:12
As well as there's a neighborhood document notification form that the county wants to have filled out. 00:11:14
To advise your neighbors that you're having a short term rental and that would also be nice at the county to provide that. 00:11:19
One of the concerns, another one of the concerns was and we're kind of unsure on this is the number of permits. 00:11:26
So like if you have. 00:11:32
2 short term rentals on one property. 00:11:33
Is that one permit? 00:11:36
Per parcel Or is that 2 separate permits? I know it's covered in here and I can't remember where it was. 00:11:38
It's covered in there now. It says that you have to have. 00:11:43
If it's under one roof, you have to have one for each unit. 00:11:46
But if you have two places on a parcel, do they require 2 permits or is it or is it one permit per parcel? 00:11:49
The I noticed in three-point 2.1 under the. 00:11:57
Allowing a sex offender to stay at your place. 00:12:02
It's still not worded. It is in two point 8.1 Intentionally or knowingly housing to or allowing a sex offender. 00:12:04
And three-point 2.1, it's not worded that way and I think that should be. 00:12:12
Amended. 00:12:16
And I believe that's all the concerns that everybody had. 00:12:19
So thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Turner. 00:12:25
And I presume that Randy can get with you on answering some of those questions. 00:12:28
OK, we also then have. 00:12:34
Mr. Key, Is he in Payson? 00:12:38
OK, let me clarify if there's any, if there's anyone else here in hello. 00:12:42
That wishes to speak to this in the public hearing. 00:12:47
Now, and anybody on the Internet. 00:12:50
Now, OK, so Mr. Key. 00:12:53
How key is a resident also of young? 00:12:55
Go ahead. 00:13:02
Yes. 00:13:05
Mechanical Engineer. 00:13:15
Former chairman of. 00:13:16
Existing building. 00:13:20
Code development for me. 00:13:21
I've also heard on the national level on. 00:13:24
Come to Government Committee for the International. 00:13:28
Council and I want to commend you. 00:13:31
For all the work that's been done in the last year and a half. 00:13:36
I'm glad you you took our concerns to heart and made the revisions. 00:13:40
I have one inferno. 00:13:45
Only because I'm not. 00:13:49
Well, let me rephrase that. My one concern is. 00:13:52
Those unusual structures. 00:13:56
Since there's imaginative instructions out there, unusual structures that don't fit. 00:13:58
The letter of the building. 00:14:03
Building from by definition, is a prescriptive. 00:14:05
In other words, it tells you what you have to do. 00:14:10
In very specific terms. 00:14:14
But there's also in every building code. 00:14:16
In this grading section. 00:14:19
A section that's called alternate means and happens. 00:14:21
Was allowed to. 00:14:25
Show that they're reading the intent of the building code. 00:14:28
Without meaning the letter. 00:14:33
Does that make sense? 00:14:35
Hang up. 00:14:37
Not sure I have confidence. 00:14:40
County building Department. 00:14:43
To be able to make those. 00:14:45
Determination on. 00:14:48
Unusual structures. 00:14:49
One of the things that the International Code Council does. 00:14:51
Is certified. 00:14:54
And you know that typically because both. 00:14:57
Those individuals. 00:15:00
Usually very proud of that. 00:15:02
Enable the Word doc. 00:15:05
CEO. 00:15:08
Aim on our business parts. 00:15:10
And that's where my concern is the killing part. 00:15:15
I don't know that we have a certified building official within the county building department. 00:15:19
That's all I have to say. 00:15:25
Thank you, Mr. Key, thank you very much. Is there anyone else in Payson that wishes to speak? 00:15:27
To this item. 00:15:33
No, OK. Thank you, Tyler. 00:15:36
So with that, I will close the public hearing portion and I'll go ahead and reach back out to Supervisor Humphrey. 00:15:39
Can I just bring one more thing up real quick? OK, sure. Yeah, he couldn't make it today because of the conflict schedule. 00:15:50
Our schedule conflict anyways he wanted. One question he had was before, when we were talking about this, before we were talking 00:15:58
about the occupancy. 00:16:02
And one of the things that they had put in The thing is changed it to the International Building Code, which we agree with. 00:16:06
But it also had that it was if there was children 5 and under, they didn't apply. 00:16:13
And that was removed on this on this one. And we were just wondering why that was removed. 00:16:17
Thank you. OK. 00:16:22
Thank you. So I will close the public hearing portion right now. 00:16:23
And Randy comes back to the podium. Supervisor Humphrey, do you have any comments or questions? 00:16:27
I I don't other than like I said, reinventing the wheel is a difficult thing and. 00:16:34
And things will probably be need to be worked out for. 00:16:38
A long time to come and we'll get to this and. 00:16:43
There will be people that will have. 00:16:46
Short term rentals in Hilo County that haven't had or haven't been through all this process and they're going to want to know. 00:16:48
What the heck's been going on so? 00:16:54
I think this is anytime you create something new, there's always, there's always going to be issues and things to work with. 00:16:56
But so far, I think as a as a board and as a. 00:17:03
Randy and the building codes and things, I think we've, we've, we've shown that we're willing to work with people and try. 00:17:07
Try to do what what's right for everybody and for the constituents and people that visit Gila County so. 00:17:14
That's my one comment. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor Klein. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So we come a long ways on this. 00:17:21
And obviously there's going to be something still that will work and some things that will not work. 00:17:28
And as an ordinance, we can come back and readdress it. 00:17:33
Six months a year. 00:17:38
Whatever it is. And so it's more or less. 00:17:40
In a few years speech it's a working document as well. 00:17:43
And I listened to. 00:17:48
Mr. Keyes and. 00:17:52
Mr. Turner and all that, on all this and I. 00:17:53
I do rely heavily on you, Randy, to work with these folks. That's that's all I'm saying. And. 00:17:56
There's there's a lot of good people out there that's going to need help to bring their whatever they have up to snuff. And I 00:18:02
think that's. 00:18:05
I really do and. 00:18:08
From a county standpoint, I'm I'm hoping we keep that inside. 00:18:10
And and also I do understand, you know, in six months and. 00:18:15
It's falling apart or. 00:18:19
Something needs changed. 00:18:20
We'll bring it up to you, Joe. 00:18:22
And work on it the piano so. 00:18:24
Thank you. 00:18:26
Yeah. Thank you, Randy, for all you've done. 00:18:27
It has been quite a journey. 00:18:30
And there was never an intention to harm the short term rental businesses. 00:18:32
Just to. 00:18:37
Make sure there's things in place to protect. 00:18:38
The neighborhood or the neighbors and everything to where everybody kind of knows. 00:18:42
Where what the limitations are and things like that and so. 00:18:46
I don't believe it's ever been a desire of mine or the others to actually create ordinances. That's kind of a thing that's like 00:18:50
one of those. 00:18:54
You don't want to go that far. 00:18:57
I do believe we all. 00:18:59
Agree that we have to have something. 00:19:01
And now we have something. 00:19:03
To look at and vote on South. 00:19:05
And for supervisors knowledge I have been a certified building official for 15 plus years. 00:19:07
So, umm. 00:19:14
We're good on the code. 00:19:17
Right, OK. 00:19:19
And we will look at it as often as needed, so. 00:19:21
We do that all the time. 00:19:24
With that, then, I'll close the discussion and call for a motion on Item 3B. 00:19:26
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt ordinance #2025-O1. 00:19:32
And repeal previously adopted ordinance #2023-08. 00:19:37
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a. 00:19:43
A motion and a second and this will require you unanimous vote. 00:19:46
If to pass, is that correct? 00:19:51
No. 00:19:55
OK. The tower that we talked about. 00:19:56
OK, that one. OK, so we have a motion in a second to approve those in favor say aye. 00:19:59

The agenda item includes seven of our libraries. The next agenda item right behind this will be our renewal for the Hayden 00:21:24
Library. 00:21:27
This year's funding will remain the same as last year's. With the uncertainty in the federal government we are currently seeing, 00:21:31
the library districts wanted to make sure that we committed to the libraries and were able to fund at this value. So it's the same 00:21:35
as last year. 00:21:39
You have any question you haven't answered them. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. I have no questions. Supervisor Klein. Thank you, 00:21:43

Hello once again, the Hayden Library is run as a grant under the Hula County Library District. The library service agreement with 00:22:51
the hate with Hayden states that we will run the library. 00:22:55
Employee staff provide library programming, continue to add the collection and pay the utilities. 00:23:00
The town of Hayden, in turn, provides the building for free, no charge and breeze to maintain it. 00:23:06
That's all I have. If you have any questions I'll be happy to ask you. 00:23:13
Thank you so much. No questions, Supervisor client, I'm good. Thank you. Maybe as well I'll call for a motion. 00:23:15
This year I move to approve the Library Services agreement with the Town of Hayden. 00:23:22
For the Hayden Public Library for the period of July 1st, 2025. 00:23:27

Thank you. Item 4C Information, discussion action. 00:23:59
Ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the Board Chairman to sign the Offer and Acceptance Form and as part of grant 00:24:02
application R. 00:24:06
FGA number 2025005 which was submitted to the Arizona Department of Health Services regarding the Arizona Health Zone SNAP add 00:24:10
program. 00:24:16
For fiscal year 2026. Good morning, Josh, good morning. So this is a grant we've had for the last 10 years now we've had two five 00:24:22
year cycles. We applied to extend for another five year cycle. 00:24:28
With the grant we have 3 full time staff we use it mostly for. 00:24:34
Helping out with the pacing. Community gardens. We teach classes like my plate through pyramid. Building better bones, calcium 00:24:38
stuff in schools. 00:24:43
Some of the work we did, we tried to help out with Miami with the stairs project, so. 00:24:47
A lot of good things come out of this. Mostly it's percentage of the Tanner for the food stamp dollars, the old terms that goes 00:24:52
towards education to make sure. 00:24:56
People understand the better ways to eat and spend that those dollars so. 00:25:01
I said it's not actually an award yet. This was an interesting grant where we had to sign the acceptance letter when we submitted 00:25:05
the grants. We don't actually know that we're going to get the award yet. 00:25:10
That's why this is one of the more interesting ones for us, and why we had to. 00:25:16
Come back and kind of do an immediate ask for the supervisor Christians, because we didn't know that we had that there so. 00:25:19
Is there any questions around that? That's what happened there and. 00:25:25
I think that's all I have for it. 00:25:28
Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:30
And you know nothing other than thank you for reaching for all the grants you can to help us. 00:25:32
With all you. 00:25:38
Supervisor. 00:25:40
Josh, how much money is involved in this grant? 00:25:42
Just don't. I mean it could fluctuate, I understand that, but. 00:25:45
We get. 00:25:48
I have to look up here again. I think they asked for 320 some thousand a year for the next 5 years. So it's it's a good amount, 00:25:49
yeah. 00:25:52
If you're asking because yeah, right now I have 9 of migraines, we're all zeroed out on the Health and Human Services budget for 00:25:56
the next budget year, so. 00:25:59
There'll be a lot more conversations, I assume here in the next few months about how. 00:26:04
Budget turns out and this is one I'm sure there will be. Thank you, Josh. 00:26:08
Thank you, Josh. With that, I'll call promotion. 00:26:13
Mr. Chair, I move to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval. 00:26:16
For the board chairman to sign the offer and acceptance form. 00:26:19
That is part of grant application RFGA #2025-005. 00:26:23
Which was submitted. 00:26:31
To the Arizona Department of Health Services. 00:26:33
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:26:35
We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:26:37
Aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Joshua. 00:26:40
Item 4D Information Discussion Action to approve an IGA with the Town of Payson to provide 210 yard roll off bins and $8000 to 00:26:43
support the. 00:26:48
Towns annual household, hazardous and electronic. 00:26:54
Waste Day event. 00:26:57
To be held on May 17. 00:26:59
2025 Good morning, Aaron. 00:27:01
Morning, Mr. Chairman, Supervisor Klein, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:27:03
The Healer County Public Works Department is seeking approval of an intergovernmental agreement with the Town of Payson. 00:27:08
To support its annual Household and Electronic Waste Day event. 00:27:14
Under the proposed agreement. 00:27:18
Gila County will provide 210 yard roll off bins and a contribution of $8000. 00:27:20
For one year, with the option to renew for up to three additional one year terms. 00:27:25
Gila County has supported this event since 2021. 00:27:31
With the exception of 2023 when the event was cancelled. 00:27:34
In 2022, the Town of Payson successfully collected and safely disposed of 51,454 lbs of hazardous waste. 00:27:38
For the 2025 event, recycling and landfill management has committed. 00:27:49
To providing the roll off bins. 00:27:53
And the $8000 contribution to offset vendor costs which last year? 00:27:55
Totaled $73,743.33. 00:28:01
These efforts play a crucial role in diverting dangerous waste from our local landfills, which were not permitted or able to 00:28:06
process. 00:28:10
So it's a valuable event going forward for the community. I'd be happy to take any questions. OK, thank you. 00:28:14
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:28:19
Is this out of general fund? 00:28:22
This is being paid for by the landfill. 00:28:24
So it's out of our enterprise fund, not the general fund. 00:28:27
OK, then I guess my question is, is. 00:28:30
What about the town of Globe Town? Miami Town? Hayden? 00:28:33
So is this something that we can do for our other towns and cities? 00:28:37
So as it stands currently we don't have any agreements with any other towns or cities, but I have reached out. 00:28:42
To the Globe Public Works Department, we're going to be reaching out to the town of Miami to find out one. 00:28:49
Do they do a household hazardous waste event in? 00:28:55
Would they like us to partner with them going forward to help assisting in that? 00:28:58
Because ultimately, it doesn't just benefit the community. 00:29:03
Communities that perform the events and benefits. 00:29:05
Our landfills as well. It's a benefit for the county. 00:29:09
And we are interested in expanding that further than currently. 00:29:12
I think there would be interest because. 00:29:16
Anytime they've asked for roll ups or something I've helped them with clean up days through constituent funds. 00:29:18
And and I think we're even doing one for Deer Creek Village on Thursday, yes. And so that. 00:29:25
You know, is what I've. 00:29:31
I get billed through constituent funds, so I think a lot of these communities. 00:29:33
Would, would, would be. 00:29:38
Interested in an agreement? 00:29:40
Such as this. 00:29:43
With the with the landfill. 00:29:44
Because you know if if hazardous waste is is. 00:29:47
His concern is concerning with our landfills. Then we need to check with our other cities and places as well. 00:29:52
To make it that much safer. 00:30:00
Correct. And we have begun that process. 00:30:02
Far enough of one that. 00:30:06
I can't answer any further, but we are interested in partnering with the other. 00:30:08
Towns and cities within the county. 00:30:11
Thank you very much. 00:30:13
Thank you, Supervisor. 00:30:15
Supervisor client. 00:30:16
Aaron I I agree with what Supervisor Humphrey said. I think when we. 00:30:18
When we start these deals and and it's, it's a benefit like you're saying for our landfill. 00:30:22
We need to reach out to all of our. 00:30:28
Our people out there and see what we can do, set these up. 00:30:31
Whether it's incorporated or unincorporated and so. 00:30:35
I would like to see that done. 00:30:38
The other thing of it is, is the $8000. 00:30:40
What? What are they gonna use that for? 00:30:44
The $8000 goes for offsetting the vendor costs for the companies that have to come in that actually provide for the removal of 00:30:47
that hazardous waste because it has to go to. 00:30:52
Whether it's various recyclers or different off site landfills that are able to process that waste. 00:30:57
Ultimately that has to be paid to be removed, so that's a contribution that we make to help out with that call. 00:31:04
OK. 00:31:10
OK. And this is coming out of the enterprise fund? 00:31:11
CS correct? 00:31:14
All right, well. 00:31:16
I, I, I I just find that kind of. 00:31:18
Kind of the interesting. 00:31:23
I mean, we could have. 00:31:27
Our money guys sitting over there, so if he's giving me the nod and that's. 00:31:29
Needs to come from but. 00:31:33
But if you guys could reach out to the rest of our. 00:31:35
Our areas for this out would be good. 00:31:38
I'd be more than happy to do that, thank you. 00:31:40
Yeah, I would agree with that. So we don't want hazardous waste, but. 00:31:44
What kind of waste are we talking about? 00:31:47
Paint so. 00:31:50
Essentially, it can go. 00:31:52
Anything from chemicals that you might find ranging from. 00:31:54
Antifreeze to different types of oils that we can't take. 00:31:59
Umm, you might find certain types of whites, electronics, batteries. These are items that we can't have breaking down within our 00:32:04
landfills because we're not permitted or equipped to handle it. 00:32:10
So. 00:32:16
Flammable aerosols. Any type of household chemical. 00:32:17
That could be considered hazardous to throw in the trash and what these events take care of. 00:32:21
OK. And so? 00:32:26
I agree that. 00:32:30
You should do some homework and report back. 00:32:31
To see how we can expand this. 00:32:33
Offering even if we don't have partners. 00:32:36
See if we can help with hazardous wasted. 00:32:39
I'd be more than happy to do that. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. OK, so with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:32:41
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve an intergovernmental agreement. 00:32:47
But the talent patient to support the town's annual Household Hazardous and Electronic Waste Day. 00:32:52
Event as presented. 00:32:58
Mr. Chair, I will second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:33:00
Aye Information discussion, action to approve. 00:33:07
Modifications 002. 00:33:13
The first Service Rd. Project agreement number 22 RO 11031200. 00:33:15
184. 00:33:21
Which updates administrative. 00:33:23
Contacts and extends the term of the agreement. 00:33:25
From 3/10/25. 00:33:29
To 9:30. 00:33:32
25. 00:33:34
Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 00:33:35
As you know, we have numerous agreements with the Forest Service working on various projects throughout the county. 00:33:39
To be the first of several that I'll be viewed. 00:33:44
Be bringing before you guys over the next few weeks. 00:33:47
Umm, this agreement right here is a modification of the existing agreement we've had in place for the last few years. 00:33:50
On a. 00:33:56
For Service Road 512. 00:33:58
Our wife disagreement. 00:34:00
Was leads to. 00:34:04
Or this is a request from the Forest Service to upgrade update the agreement. 00:34:07
With our proper contact information. 00:34:12
Currently it has. 00:34:15
Former director Villas named down as the primary contact, so this will update that. 00:34:16
And currently it expired and so we'll need this agreement to extend to the end of the. 00:34:21
Their year contract year, which will be. 00:34:26
September 30th, 2025. 00:34:29
OK. All right. So it's just cleaning up a couple of things on the contract. OK, Supervisor Humphrey? 00:34:32
Yeah, I think it's great. Any movement we have with this, we need them to be able to contact us with that. 00:34:38
And reach the right person, so I think it's a good deal. 00:34:44
Supervisor Klein. 00:34:48
Alex, thank you. But I have a question. I thought this was supposed to be done last March. 00:34:50
You're right, it was. 00:34:55
So with the new. 00:34:59
Federal government, there was a. 00:35:01
Delay and making sure everything got done. 00:35:03
And so. 00:35:05
Based on that, this agreement was then rewritten by them and. 00:35:07
Requested by them to make this from the feds. 00:35:10
Didn't we contract all this out already to have a? 00:35:15
Have Kimley Horne do it or some company good to begin with. 00:35:18
The environmental part of it. 00:35:22
Correct. Yes, it's coming, Horner Associates. 00:35:24
And yes, it was supposed to be done by March 30th. 00:35:27
What involvement did the feds have on that? 00:35:30
Process. I mean, last I knew it was going really well and actually the feds were telling me. 00:35:32
That this should be kind of like a spotlight. 00:35:38
Project as good as it was going. 00:35:41
Right. So at the point that we had left it last year. 00:35:44
It was Kim Lee Horn working with the Forest Service. 00:35:49
Getting all their. 00:35:52
He's accused the line. 00:35:54
And. 00:35:55
Where we left it. So yeah, yes, it was. 00:35:56
An ideal project. 00:35:59
However, it's now been pushed out for a few more months. 00:36:01
Well. 00:36:07
I see these are the things that frustrate me. 00:36:10
Really. Do we spend tons of money on these projects? 00:36:14
And then something like this comes up and it's like. 00:36:17
And when I got everybody telling me it's a good project, things are on schedule, it's going to end and be done with it in our 00:36:22
yada, yada, yada. 00:36:25
And then this hits US. 00:36:29
So if you guys would, I would like to be kept informed if this isn't going. 00:36:31
Like like it needs to be. We need to know. 00:36:39
Right, I agree with that. 00:36:43
This is part of this is out of our hands. This is between the Forest Service and Kimberly Horner on their side of things. Totally 00:36:44
understand that. 00:36:48
Totally. 00:36:52
And we can go to the Forest Service and Kimberly Horns under contract with this. 00:36:53
And and see, that's what I'm saying. 00:37:00
When I'm getting a little touchy on these consultants signing these contracts and all of a sudden we're extending contracts. 00:37:02
And it seems like we do that about 100% of the time. 00:37:08
And so, umm. 00:37:13
I think it's time we maybe held some people's feet to the fire. 00:37:15
You know, they know what they're into when they get get in there. I know the government's had some shake UPS. 00:37:20
But the government also was the one relying on human going to get all this time. 00:37:25
So. 00:37:29
So we, we really need to be kept abreast of this because I, I don't like it to be. 00:37:30
And it's not our fault, I agree. 00:37:35
Totally agree. 00:37:38
But. 00:37:40
Just let us know. 00:37:42
We'll do better about keeping you in the loop. 00:37:43
Can I have nothing? Yes, Tom. 00:37:45
So I just want to say some of the delays. 00:37:48
Or the review periods. 00:37:50
So a lot of for the EA to be finalized, it has to be reviewed by the Tonto National Forest, it has to be reviewed by US Fishing 00:37:52
Wildlife Service. 00:37:57
Has to be reviewed by Arizona Game and Fish. 00:38:03
A lot of these reviews are taking longer than. 00:38:06
We anticipated and longer than Kimberly Horn anticipated. 00:38:09
For instance, the Tonto National Forest, a lot of times the people that have to do the reviews, they get pulled off to. 00:38:13
Maybe go fight a fire or go help manage a fire. 00:38:20
They get pulled off for all kinds of different assignments that. 00:38:23
It's hard to anticipate. So that is why we're seeing a lot of these delays. 00:38:27
I don't. I just don't want to. Everybody think it's strictly kidney horns there. 00:38:32
They've been working as best as they can. 00:38:37
So, Tom, thank you for that. 00:38:39
And you're not wrong. 00:38:41
But I will tell you that in the NEPA process, there's deadlines that you meet. 00:38:44
There's review periods that's outlined in those processes, whether it's 45 days or whatever from the time it's turned in. 00:38:49
If those if that's not happening. 00:38:57
Even on the federal level. 00:39:00
We need to know about that. 00:39:02
That's what I'm saying we need to know. 00:39:05
The government's famous for running off the fires and plant. That's what they'll do. 00:39:09
And that's BS, to be totally honest with you, when we have projects going on and they sign. 00:39:14
Agreements, or they're part of a process, they need to be held. 00:39:20
Fire just as well as killing Horn or anybody else you deal with. 00:39:24
But we need to know that. 00:39:28
You know, we can make those phone calls, we can go have those conversations with them. 00:39:30
And we can push to have things like this. I'm, I'm just, I guess what I'm trying to say is I've sat here for over 8 years. 00:39:36
And see things dragged out and dragged out and dragged out. 00:39:43
And I've got 3 1/2 years more to go and I'm not going to say. 00:39:47
Here and see that, so if there's something going on. 00:39:50
Don't just hold it in your department to yourselves. By all means, reach out to me, to the board, whatever it takes. 00:39:53
And we can start addressing these things. 00:39:59
We're we're the ones coming up with that money. We're the ones paying the price. 00:40:02
To have this done, we should have some say so. 00:40:06
On a timely manner and getting these completed. 00:40:09
You know, because you look at this, we're a year behind basically. 00:40:12
That's what we are and when I go to these town hall meetings. 00:40:17
Or Steve sits on Kmog and we talk about 512 and how we're making progress. 00:40:21
And then we turn around and look at this and we're a year behind. 00:40:26
Oh, that don't sit well with me. 00:40:30
At all. So just please keep us in. 00:40:32
Yes, Sir. 00:40:35
You're correct. 00:40:36
Yeah. Thank. Thank you guys for all that you do. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:40:37
Sure, I move to approve. 00:40:44
Modification 002. 00:40:47
To forward service Rd. project agreement number. 00:40:50
22-40 dash. 00:40:53
11031200 Dash 184, as presented. 00:40:55
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:41:02
Aye, thank you. Item 4S information discussion action authorized the advertisement of invitation for bids number. 00:41:07
02242025. 00:41:15
Gibson Ranch Rd. Roadway improvement project, Alex. 00:41:18
Good morning again, Mr. Chair and Board of Supervisors. 00:41:22
This is the Gibson Ranch roadway improvement project. 00:41:25
Double engineering has provided us with. 00:41:29
Plans and specs. 00:41:32
We actually brought this back before you guys back in November. 00:41:34
And then there was a mishap with the chip seal project in Gazila and so we pulled back. 00:41:37
Reevaluated. 00:41:41
This project in light of that project and. 00:41:43
Pleased to bring it back before you and ready to go out forbid for this project. 00:41:46
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:41:50
No questions, Supervisor Klein. 00:41:54
Alex, I'm good. I understand the delay on this. 00:41:56
And everything. 00:42:00
This is a. This is an important project. 00:42:02
I'm gonna just say that straight up and. 00:42:04
And so if there's any changes, please tell me. 00:42:07
We'll let you know. 00:42:10
Alex, is this about a full mile project? 00:42:12
2 1/2 miles and a half, OK. 00:42:15
Yeah, I've been on that road. It's actually nicer to drive off the road. 00:42:18
Very needed. Thank you. With that I will call promotion. 00:42:22
Mr. 00:42:28
I'll make the motion to authorize advertisement of invitation for bids number. 00:42:30
02242025. 00:42:34
I'll second it. I have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:42:38
Aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Alex. Thank you. 00:42:42
All right, 4G is information discussion action to adopt A revised Public Works Department policy number. 00:42:45
PWS 01/1 tool replacement. 00:42:52
Good morning, Mr. White. 00:42:56
Good morning, Chairman. Supervisors, The next 4 items on here are kind of closely related. 00:42:58
They're related to the inspection that we recently had with the Arizona Department of Occupational. 00:43:05
Safety and health. 00:43:11
What we found out after that is we just have a couple of our. 00:43:13
Policies that just needed some cleaning up, most of them just needed some minor revisions, so. 00:43:17
On this first one for the coal policy, one of the things that we needed to add to make sure we're more in line with how the 00:43:22
regulations are written. 00:43:26
For our tool replacement policy, we just needed to add in there that when we're doing the. 00:43:30
Inventory on an annual basis that we need to actually do an inspection of the tools. 00:43:37
With that. 00:43:42
Inventory, just to make sure everything's in working order. So we added that into the policy and that's really the only change on 00:43:43
this first one. 00:43:47
I can go through the other ones real quick or we can do one at a time. 00:43:52
Oh yeah, one, I guess. I guess my question would be when our techs are higher today. 00:43:58
Do they furnish their own tools? 00:44:04
They purchased some of their own tools, anything that's under 3/4 of an inch bracket size or less. 00:44:07
They furnished their own. The rest of the tools are supplying by. 00:44:14
By the county OK, so this tool replacement is it for the? 00:44:17
The shop or the text? 00:44:22
It's it's for both. So if we see anything that's not working or not good working order. 00:44:25
It's the text. 00:44:30
Then that will get replaced and they get reimbursed for that if it's their own tool. 00:44:32
If it's the county's tool, then we would just replace that. 00:44:37
As well. 00:44:40
OK. I just could that also be used to supply some of the text with tools that when they're hired with their tools? 00:44:42
Don't have the proper tool. 00:44:47
Generally, there's a certain list of tools that. 00:44:50
And this is standard throughout the industry. There's a standard list of tools that. 00:44:56
Mechanics are required to supply themselves as. 00:45:00
Part of coming on is. 00:45:05
An employee and that's pretty consistent throughout the industry. 00:45:07
I just think, I mean I've had rentals for 20 years. I don't wear out so. 00:45:12
I mean, I guess I was just wondering how all this places where it goes and. 00:45:17
What tools were replaced? 00:45:21
Yeah, I think, I think as some of the. 00:45:23
With Adosh, I think they've seen some of the tools that look like they had where some of the handles were worn down and they were 00:45:25
getting pretty particular. So we just want to make sure that. 00:45:30
In that annual inventory time that we're really taking a look at and doing a closer inspection of the tools at the same time. 00:45:35
No further questions. Thank you. 00:45:42
Supervisor client. 00:45:44
Joy, thank you. How much money do we give our mechanics every year to? 00:45:45
Put them on their tool inventory. 00:45:50
Then get up to $800 and reimburse. 00:45:52
OK. 00:45:55
OK. And that still seems to be adequate with our mechanics? 00:45:56
I haven't had any issues or had any complaints come up. Regard. 00:46:00
OK. Thank you. 00:46:03
That's every year. 00:46:05
Up to if they replace something, show the receipt, then they get the right person. 00:46:08
OK. Thank you, Troy. With that, I'll call for motion. 00:46:12
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt A revised Public Works Department policy number PWS 01/1. 00:46:17
And I'll second that motion a second to approve item 4G. 00:46:24
Those in favor say aye aye aye. Item 4H is information discussion action to adopt public work department policy number. 00:46:28
TWN 02/1 tool safety and inspection, which replaces policy. 00:46:37
DPW 07-01. 00:46:42
Equipment safety policy trial. 00:46:46
Thank you, Chairman. Supervisors, again, this is. 00:46:48
Along that same vein. 00:46:52
This one did have some pretty major revisions so that we would be closer aligned with the regulation that's concerning tool safety 00:46:54
with within OSHA. 00:46:59
The three major components of these changes include. 00:47:05
Again, hand tools was part of the equipment that we're inspecting. 00:47:08
Also we're we're testing the employees knowledge on some of the equipment just to make sure that they have the knowledge to work 00:47:12
pieces of equipment. I guess that came up here in the inspection. 00:47:17
And then specific examples are listed in here of wind tools are to be replaced so during that annual inspection period. 00:47:23
What are you looking for? What would qualify for a replacement of a tool? So those are kind of identified in here. 00:47:32
To give the managers examples of what they're looking for. 00:47:38
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:47:42
You have no further questions. 00:47:47
Supervisor client. 00:47:48
Troy, I know we've talked about this through the years I've been here, but. 00:47:50
Or do we have any of our mechanics going through recertification processes or? 00:47:54
Working on new certifications for. 00:47:59
Whatever it may be. 00:48:02
We do have. 00:48:05
Training that we try to get each of our employees each year. 00:48:07
I know a lot of the equipment, the manufacturers, if we have a new piece of equipment, we haven't taken them before the. 00:48:12
Manufacturers were offered trading on that, so we get the employees trained on that. 00:48:19
A lot of times, you know, with your regular, what we call vanilla fleet, your cars and your trucks and stuff like that. 00:48:24
There are research that they go through with that if they're updating software or updating any of the testing equipment that goes 00:48:33
on those. So we we have a pretty good training program within our fleet. 00:48:38
Department. 00:48:44
And our folks seem to be wanting to take it. 00:48:46
Advantage of that and use it I mean when work. 00:48:49
Work up in it I mean. 00:48:51
Is there interest in it? 00:48:53
Yeah, I think for the most part, most of most of the mechanics are very interested. They take this very passionately. They love 00:48:56
what they do and. 00:49:00
Any training that you can get online? 00:49:04
From my experience, they're all for it. 00:49:06
This is one thing that has been real important to me because we can take these young folks, whether they're just out of high 00:49:11
school or they're looking for something else. 00:49:15
We train them up when we put the time and effort into them and then with the hopes of someday they're going to be the shop 00:49:19
foreman's. 00:49:22
They're going to be the ones that they're in charge. 00:49:26
And this has been something that I've. 00:49:28
Really had a big interest to keep going and. 00:49:31
And hoping that we're taking advantage of all this. We as a county, I mean, this board has made a commitment to support. 00:49:34
Training over the years, so I'm hoping our folks are doing that. 00:49:41
Absolutely. Thank you, Troy. You're welcome. 00:49:44
Thank you, Troy. With our call promotion, Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS Dash 00:49:47
02/1. 00:49:51
Dash tool safety and inspection as presented. 00:49:56
I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:50:00
Aye Item 4I Information, discussion action without public works, Department of policy number. 00:50:05
PWF 02/2. 00:50:12
Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety, which replaces policy number DPW and Dash 02. 00:50:14
Thank you, Chairman Board. This one had some very minor revisions to it, just again to align with. 00:50:23
The OSHA regulations in here. 00:50:30
Umm, it deals with. 00:50:34
Material Safety data sheets. 00:50:36
And who's responsible for maintaining those? We have to identify somebody that's responsible in each division. So we made that the 00:50:38
responsibility of the division managers. 00:50:43
Really that's the only changes here is just you identify that area of responsibility for these. 00:50:48
Thank you, Supervisor. Humphrey, I have no question, Supervisor. 00:50:55
Troy, will those be reviewed? 00:50:59
Quite often. 00:51:02
The material safety desk to make sure we're up to stuff on that. Yeah, every time. And that's why we wanted to have an assigned 00:51:04
person that's responsible for this. But every time you bring any new chemical, it should be. 00:51:10
The safety data sheet should be updated at the same time. 00:51:16
The material safety gas sheets is real important. Something was to go wrong. You know they're gonna go digging at us to see what 00:51:19
we missed. 00:51:22
And if somebody's you, you, you're absolutely right having somebody in charge of that. 00:51:26
Is really really important so. 00:51:32
Thank you. 00:51:34
Victoria, with that, I'll call for motion. 00:51:36
Mr. Chair moved to adopt Public Works Department policy number. 00:51:38
PWS Dash 02/2 as presented. 00:51:43
I'll second that. We'll show the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:51:47
Aye, last one, Troy. Item 4. J Information, discussion action. 00:51:52
To adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS 02/3. 00:51:57
Hazardous energy control. 00:52:02
Slash lockout tag out. 00:52:05
Which replaces policy number DPW 10. 00:52:07
Dash 01. 00:52:11
Thank you, Chairman Board, again, this is some. 00:52:13
This was a minor revision as well. 00:52:16
Our previous policy didn't really include the. 00:52:19
Energy control for heavy equipment and that is required is that you have to have energy equipment covered in your. 00:52:24
Energy control process or procedures? 00:52:31
We've modified this lockout tag out to include. 00:52:36
The process and procedures for locking out and tagging out heavy equipment. 00:52:40
And that's what was added to this. 00:52:45
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. No questions, Supervisor Klein. 00:52:48
What's an example of that boy? 00:52:52
Let's see, you're working on a. 00:52:54
A lawnmower and you bring a lawnmower into the shop. 00:52:57
Umm, you actually, once you start working on that, you're going to start. 00:53:01
Getting into it, you actually have to lock that machine out. 00:53:06
To ensure that if the mechanic that's working on it steps away for whatever reason. 00:53:09
And he's got gas lines open or whatever. Somebody can't come in and inadvertently start the machine. 00:53:15
It can't inadvertently be. 00:53:21
You know, started or somebody else doesn't know where it's at in the process and they come in and think that it's drivable or 00:53:24
whatever. So you actually have to. 00:53:27
Make sure that piece of equipment is. 00:53:31
Is cordoned off, locked out and bagged out. OK, thank you. 00:53:33
Thank you. And without a promotion? 00:53:38
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS Dash 02/3. 00:53:40
Presented. I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:53:47
Aye, thank Mr. White for all that and we're down to item 4K. 00:53:53
It's information discussion action approved economic development agreement number 04072025. 00:53:59
Between Hewlett County and the Rim Country Mountain Bike Association and the amount of $8025. 00:54:06
To purchase the three remaining trail gates for the Highline Trail, which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the 00:54:11
public. This is my item, but I know that we all support trails and everything. 00:54:17
And we're getting kind of down to the end of the month. 00:54:22
So I decided I'll just go take care of this. It's probably the easiest way to go. I think. We have with us Trevor Crichton and 00:54:25
Angie Abel. 00:54:29
And. 00:54:34
The trails in northern Gila County, which is where this is is this particular trail is very. 00:54:35
Famous trail The Highline Trail. 00:54:43
A lot of volunteers working on it. 00:54:45
There's three barbed wire fences that these gates will. 00:54:47
Provide uh. 00:54:52
An easier access through the wildwater fences rather than the regular barbed wire. 00:54:53
Cattle fences. 00:54:59
You encounter when you're out. 00:55:02
Out there and so. 00:55:04
Probably added the safety of getting the gates closed and ease of opening and shutting them. 00:55:06
And they're kind of expensive, but they're pretty nice to get. 00:55:12
All metal has logo on it. 00:55:15
Highline Trail. 00:55:18
And all of that stuff. So we have with us. 00:55:19
So the money is going to channel through this bike association. 00:55:22
But it's going to benefit. 00:55:26
Everyone. 00:55:27
So, Trevor? 00:55:28
Angie, do you have anything you'd like to add? 00:55:30
No, I mean, uh. 00:55:34
We're super excited and. 00:55:35
The highlight trail at this point is completely accessible to all users, hikers, questions, and not hackers. 00:55:37
All major reroutes are completed. 00:55:46
Hey, kudos to Talk National Forest and the National Forest Foundation. 00:55:49
Just kind of leaving the charge on that effort. 00:55:53
It's it's an amazing 50. 00:55:56
So on piles and threads of trails. 00:55:59
OK. Thank you very much for that, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:56:04
Yeah, I wish I could see a picture of one of these gates, because the old zigzag gates. 00:56:08
Can't be left open. I mean, they're always open. You just got a zigzag room. 00:56:13
And so something that. 00:56:18
Someone can leave open. 00:56:19
I don't know, it concerns me. So I was looking through my deal to see a picture of this new and approved gate. 00:56:23
But it would concern me if someone could just leave it open. 00:56:31
Umm, because that's one of the major problems. 00:56:34
On some of cattle ranches as people leaving gates open and animals. 00:56:38
Being able to change pastures. 00:56:42
But that's my only question. 00:56:45
There may have been a deep lease up on these. Gates are already on. These are to remain. 00:56:49
The regular type marked wiring steps. 00:56:55
For lack of a better term, Yankee. 00:57:00
Right, They're not easy to open and close and so. 00:57:05
The acid that we're putting on. 00:57:09
Explain. There's just one simple. 00:57:12
Definitely something that I think you. 00:57:15
Were more akin to to close behind them. 00:57:18
Other than something that you have to make sure that it's back the way it was when you got there. 00:57:21
OK. I guess then because you're just replacing. 00:57:28
Made Bob Wire. 00:57:32
Gates OK. I was thinking, you know, like on most trail heads where they have the zigzag Bob wire. 00:57:34
And then it goes off of both ways, so you can just zigzag through it and cattle won't. 00:57:41
And so that's what that's what. 00:57:46
I had pictured in my mind. 00:57:49
Yes, these are just like drive through gates that you open. 00:57:51
I can understand making them easier to open. 00:57:55
But the ones that you just exact through. 00:57:58
That's what I had pictured in my mind, so thank you. 00:58:01
Do you have an image that? 00:58:05
Of what the gate looks like. 00:58:08
It seems like I've seen an image but it's not in our. 00:58:10
Add an infection. 00:58:16
Say that again, Angie. 00:58:19
Didn't have a picture in the packet looking at you. 00:58:21
OK, that's where I thought, Yeah. 00:58:25
OK. 00:58:28
I can look through that real quick, Supervisor Klein. 00:58:30
How, uh, how wide are these gates? 00:58:33
So standard for non motorized rails, 48 inches to allow for mount bikers and the questions. 00:58:39
So they're designed that. 00:58:48
Oh yeah, yeah. Good deal. 00:58:55
Yeah, that's what I was curious about. 00:58:59
Pack animals so. 00:59:03
No, thanks for the help on that. And Supervisor Christensen, I'd help you out, but it's at the end of the year for me. Yeah, it's 00:59:05
the end of the year and I understand that. No problem. 00:59:10
With that at all? 00:59:15
Will tackle something later on. 00:59:17
So thanks for all of that. And if there if there's any more questions, I think. 00:59:19
Notice they might be trying to find a. 00:59:24
Photograph of 1. 00:59:25
I know, I've seen. 00:59:27
Anyway, with that I'll call promotion. 00:59:28
Mr. Montgomery. Economic Development Agreement number 04072025, as presented. 00:59:32
And which the Board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:59:40
Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion in the second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:59:44
Aye, aye. 00:59:48
Thanks guys for coming. 00:59:50
And now we'll move on to Item 5, which is the consent agenda action items. 00:59:51

Thank you. Bye. 01:02:20

On fire mitigation. 01:02:46
Insurance issues. 01:02:50
Things of that nature. One of the main players on this board is with the insurance company. 01:02:52
Well, so that all went real well. 01:02:57
And I look forward to the other. 01:03:01
Other meetings we're going to have as well, so. 01:03:03
And other than that, coming up Friday, this Friday, I'll be in Mesa, me and Kathy both for a luncheon. That's. 01:03:06
Presenting the. 01:03:13
Representing Marshall with an award for his involvement in Veteran. 01:03:15
Issues and whatnot. His support so. 01:03:20
Good deal. Thank you for that. And I also was at the Lincoln dinner. 01:03:24
Was good, a lot of people. 01:03:29
I will be attending the Healer college graduation. 01:03:31
From, I guess, the northern campus. 01:03:35
Will be tomorrow night. 01:03:38
I was invited, so I'll be there for that. 01:03:39
And, umm. 01:03:42
I would say that Mister Marshall spoke with me. 01:03:45
On Saturday night. 01:03:50
And told me of. 01:03:53
An insurance company, that is. 01:03:56
Ensuring. 01:03:59
People where others are dropping because of the fire. 01:04:01
Things and so that information is available through him. 01:04:06
And that's the. 01:04:10
No something. 01:04:11
And so that's all I have so. 01:04:13
You know, then we're going to go to item 8. 01:04:16
Executive Yes, Sir. And you said you spoke with the. 01:04:19
Representative Marshall on insurance and that's. 01:04:23
Through him, no. 01:04:27
To be clear, he encountered a problem with his insurance rates and he found a company. 01:04:31
OK. But that information you can get from him? 01:04:37
As far as what that company is? 01:04:40
Oh, OK, I mean I have it. 01:04:43
OK, then I don't get it from you. 01:04:46
Or a business. 01:04:49
Necessarily, but he does have some. 01:04:51
Share You want us to e-mail it to you? There's a lot of people listening that are having difficult time getting insurance and all 01:04:54
of a sudden there's a hidden insurance company somewhere over a state representative who gets. So anyway, that's all I was getting 01:05:00
at so. 01:05:05
No, I've got insurance. I'm good, but some of my constituents don't have. Count your blessings, no. 01:05:11
But if they contact me I have his number. 01:05:19
Yeah, so. 01:05:24
That is on our topic right now. 01:05:28
OK, let's go ahead and go to item number 8, executive session items we have. 01:05:30
8A and B to discuss and so I'm going to call for a motion to go into executive session to address. 01:05:35
Both of those items. 01:05:43
So move, Mr. Chair. 01:05:44
I'll second it. Motion and a second to dismiss into executive session. Those in favor say aye. 01:05:46

Testing, testing, testing. 00:00:01
Testing, testing. 00:00:07
OK. So we're ready to go. Good morning, everyone. 00:00:12
Well, it's May 6, 2025, Tuesday, regular Board of Supervisors meeting. It's 10 AM. 00:00:16
And I've asked Cherrygrice if she would lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:23
And then, Marin, would you be happy to offer our prayer this morning after that? 00:00:27
Thank you. 00:00:31
I pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:34
Of the United States of America. 00:00:37
Republic for which it stands. 00:00:40
One nation under God, indivisible. 00:00:42
Please join me in prayer. 00:00:53
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunity to gather here today in service to the people of Gila County. 00:00:55
Please grant us the wisdom. 00:01:02
Guidance and. 00:01:04
To hear your voice. 00:01:06
Among all the voices that we hear every day. 00:01:08
Help us tune out the noise and focus on your will. 00:01:12
That we may serve your people. 00:01:15
In your name, Amen. 00:01:18
Thank you. And I guess I'll just stay here. 00:01:20
OK, Item 2A presentations. 00:01:28
Presentation of Hewitt County General Fund financial data as it compares to the fiscal year 2025 he the county budget. 00:01:32
And fiscal years 24232221 and 20 and 19 year to date performance. Good morning again. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, 00:01:38
Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein, I know that you have a very busy agenda and many people here today, so I will. 00:01:46
Keep this short. 00:01:54
This is our monthly update, which we will include with the annual budget book when we publish that for. 00:01:55
2026. 00:02:02
The highlights for today are just that. 00:02:04
We are very close to target for general fund revenues at the end of February. 00:02:08
At the end of February, general fund revenues were at 65% of the target. 00:02:14
I'm sorry, 65% of the budget? 00:02:19
Compared to a 67% target for the eight months year to date. 00:02:21
We are $3.28 million less than the prior year because of the state Department of Veterans Services $3,000,000 grant that we 00:02:27
received as one time funding in the prior year. 00:02:33
Without that, the only difference is $227,000. 00:02:40
Due to the timing of state shared excise tax. 00:02:45
General fund expenditures are at 69% of the budget. 00:02:49
Compared to an 8 month target of 67%. 00:02:53
And are about a million and a half more than the prior year. 00:02:56
That year over year difference is attributable to salaries and Ers and where we're keeping. 00:03:00
Department as in general fund as opposed to being split out. 00:03:06
And those are all as expected. 00:03:11
Happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:03:14
Thank you, Marin Supervisor Humphrey. 00:03:15
I have no question. 00:03:18
Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Neither do I. Thank you, man. Great. Thank you. Yeah, good report. Thank you very much. 00:03:19
Thank you. We'll be back next month. OK. 00:03:24
Appreciate you. 00:03:29
Item 3A is part of our public hearing. 00:03:30
Information discussion action to about Resolution number 250501. 00:03:34
Authorizing an increase in the fees charged by the Gila County Justice Courts and Superior Court. 00:03:40
As outlined in Additional administrative fee schedule which will go into effect. 00:03:45
On July 1, 2025. Good morning, John. 00:03:49
Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 00:03:53
On February 25th I presented it a board work session. 00:03:57
Asking for review and input on the judicial fee schedule. 00:04:00
I certainly appreciated the candor, questions and direction provided as a result of that meeting. 00:04:05
And we incorporated the feedback and input of the board into an updated proposal. 00:04:11
We feel that the updated proposal is in the best interest of Hilo County. 00:04:16
Judicial fees will provide us a funding stream to fund unfunded mandates. 00:04:21
The board is authorized to approve local fees to defray services. 00:04:26
Service expenses associated with the implementation of these mandates. 00:04:30
And I use the term defray intentionally. 00:04:35
That is the term used in the statute that authorizes the fees. 00:04:38
And our fee proposal certainly a lot aligns. 00:04:42
With the requirements and statute. 00:04:45
The implementation of judicial fees requires a public hearing. 00:04:48
Notice of public hearing ran for three weeks and pacing roundup. 00:04:52
The notification also advised the public. 00:04:57
That they could receive a copy of the proposed fee schedule by contacting court administration. 00:04:59
We received no inquiries. 00:05:04
And now I believe the proposal is right for board decision. 00:05:07
Thank you, John. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:05:11
I I have no question, no thank you. 00:05:15
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. Jonathan, thank you. I'm good as well. 00:05:17
Thank you, Jonathan. And a lot of people say, well, it's not a lot of money or whatever and. 00:05:21
We can't charge whatever we want. We're not going to make money. People need to know. 00:05:26
That this is to offset the costs. 00:05:30
So that the burden is not just strictly on taxpayers, but on. 00:05:33
Those who are in the court. 00:05:36
Exactly. And so thank you very much for that. And so with that. 00:05:38
I'll close that discussion and open it up for public hearing. Is there anyone here in Globe? 00:05:42
Or on the Internet. 00:05:48
Or in Payson that wishes to speak to this item. 00:05:50
OK. I will then close the public hearing portion call for motion on Item 3. 00:05:55
Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt resolution #25-05-01 and Mr. Cheryl, second motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:06:00
Aye. Thank you, John. Thank you very much. 00:06:11
Item 3B. Also Public hearing information discussion action to adopt ordinance #2025-01 vacation rentals and short term rentals and 00:06:15
repeal previously adopted ordinance #2023-08 Vacation rental and Short Term rental. 00:06:23
Uses Good morning, Randy. Morning, supervisors. Hope everyone's having a wonderful day. 00:06:32
Hopefully this goes as quick as the last two half. 00:06:38
Umm, so again, we are here. We have already adopted an ordinance. 00:06:40
We're here to repeal that prior ordinance and adopt the new ordinance. 00:06:45
We've worked with the group. 00:06:49
People have talked before, had several work sessions that I'm sure you guys all remember. 00:06:52
And I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:06:58
As we report. 00:07:01
Thank you, Randy. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:07:04
Yeah, Randy, I, I just want to say that I appreciate the communication back and forth to change these ordinances if you. 00:07:07
To work with them as we feel best fit and to also. 00:07:16
The people with them. 00:07:21
Because it's a difficult deal reinventing the wheel. 00:07:23
And so I appreciate the flexibility of being able to work with the people. 00:07:27
As much as we can and still be within legal bounds. 00:07:32
Thank you very much. 00:07:36
Supervisor Klein. 00:07:38
Randy, thanks. And there's been a lot of time spent on that. 00:07:39
You know, and so hopefully we're at the point with with our. 00:07:43
Folks has helped pull this together and get back on the right track. 00:07:47
The only one thing I want to. 00:07:51
Ask you to make sure we still have that commitment. 00:07:53
Is there's folks out there that are working with whatever it is well tough sheds for rentals or? 00:07:56
Or older RV's or the teepee. 00:08:02
Issue. 00:08:05
You made the commitment before that you have worked with these people to help, you know. 00:08:06
Work with them to bring them up to snuff where they. 00:08:11
They need to be to use them and we're still on board with that crash. We're still on board that again, there'll be some hurdles 00:08:13
that have to get. 00:08:17
Over, but yes, we will commit to working with them to achieve what they want to do with those structures. 00:08:21
OK. 00:08:28
Thank you. 00:08:31
Yeah, I'm good. OK. 00:08:32
Yeah, Randy, just to let everyone know this. 00:08:34
Our legal department recommended the repeal and reinstatement. 00:08:37
Of the new document. 00:08:41
Umm, just because that's what they recommended rather than just calling it a revised something. 00:08:43
And much of the changes that have been made are as a result of the public input. 00:08:48
And I see that most of the changes also. 00:08:54
Ease up on the regulations a lot, especially when it comes to. 00:08:59
The sex offender thing, that was a real hot topic. 00:09:04
And so. 00:09:09
We've eliminated a lot of the concerns. We've actually lowered the price slightly so. 00:09:10
That's where we're at, and I will say that I've worked. 00:09:15
Quite well with the County Attorney. 00:09:18
And the attorney for one of the groups in this, we've worked closely with all of them trying to achieve what we have before you 00:09:20
today. 00:09:24
OK. Thank you, Randy, for all you've done and everyone involved. So. 00:09:29
The comments now and open it up for public hearing. 00:09:33
We'll just go through this systematically. The weather's here in Globe. 00:09:37
And the Board of Supervisors is Mr. Bob Turner. He lives in. 00:09:43
And he's been, uh. 00:09:48
Before us on other occasions with regard to this, come on up, please. 00:09:50
And, umm. 00:09:55
Like to unless you have something super profound. 00:09:56
Fit it into 3 minutes. Yeah, it should be pretty quick. Thank you. Let me speak. 00:10:00
Just a couple like house cleaning items and then a couple concerns that some of the owners have. 00:10:04
Mr. Klein already covered one of the big, huge concern. 00:10:09
As far as? 00:10:14
A lot of the owners are just curious, how is this going to come into effect? Are we going to be notified? Do we have to? Do we 00:10:15
have to get a hold of the county? 00:10:19
Is there paperwork already in place that we're going to receive? 00:10:23
And uh. 00:10:27
One of the concerns was that the effective date on it is June 2nd. 00:10:29
We don't think that's enough time to get everything done. 00:10:33
That's less than a month away. 00:10:35
So we'd like to see that push back to like this, at least the 60 days where we get all our paperwork in and everything done. 00:10:37
One of the things I think would be important too is when the when somebody applies for the permit, there is the document that you 00:10:45
want posted. 00:10:49
This is under. 00:10:53
3.6 point 12 the document they posted. 00:10:55
Doorway that has the rules and everything. 00:10:59
If the county could provide that with the owners when they get their permit and that that way we know we have the official 00:11:02
paperwork that you want. 00:11:06
Posted in the Houses. 00:11:10
Or whatever the case can be. 00:11:12
As well as there's a neighborhood document notification form that the county wants to have filled out. 00:11:14
To advise your neighbors that you're having a short term rental and that would also be nice at the county to provide that. 00:11:19
One of the concerns, another one of the concerns was and we're kind of unsure on this is the number of permits. 00:11:26
So like if you have. 00:11:32
2 short term rentals on one property. 00:11:33
Is that one permit? 00:11:36
Per parcel Or is that 2 separate permits? I know it's covered in here and I can't remember where it was. 00:11:38
It's covered in there now. It says that you have to have. 00:11:43
If it's under one roof, you have to have one for each unit. 00:11:46
But if you have two places on a parcel, do they require 2 permits or is it or is it one permit per parcel? 00:11:49
The I noticed in three-point 2.1 under the. 00:11:57
Allowing a sex offender to stay at your place. 00:12:02
It's still not worded. It is in two point 8.1 Intentionally or knowingly housing to or allowing a sex offender. 00:12:04
And three-point 2.1, it's not worded that way and I think that should be. 00:12:12
Amended. 00:12:16
And I believe that's all the concerns that everybody had. 00:12:19
So thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Turner. 00:12:25
And I presume that Randy can get with you on answering some of those questions. 00:12:28
OK, we also then have. 00:12:34
Mr. Key, Is he in Payson? 00:12:38
OK, let me clarify if there's any, if there's anyone else here in hello. 00:12:42
That wishes to speak to this in the public hearing. 00:12:47
Now, and anybody on the Internet. 00:12:50
Now, OK, so Mr. Key. 00:12:53
How key is a resident also of young? 00:12:55
Go ahead. 00:13:02
Yes. 00:13:05
Mechanical Engineer. 00:13:15
Former chairman of. 00:13:16
Existing building. 00:13:20
Code development for me. 00:13:21
I've also heard on the national level on. 00:13:24
Come to Government Committee for the International. 00:13:28
Council and I want to commend you. 00:13:31
For all the work that's been done in the last year and a half. 00:13:36
I'm glad you you took our concerns to heart and made the revisions. 00:13:40
I have one inferno. 00:13:45
Only because I'm not. 00:13:49
Well, let me rephrase that. My one concern is. 00:13:52
Those unusual structures. 00:13:56
Since there's imaginative instructions out there, unusual structures that don't fit. 00:13:58
The letter of the building. 00:14:03
Building from by definition, is a prescriptive. 00:14:05
In other words, it tells you what you have to do. 00:14:10
In very specific terms. 00:14:14
But there's also in every building code. 00:14:16
In this grading section. 00:14:19
A section that's called alternate means and happens. 00:14:21
Was allowed to. 00:14:25
Show that they're reading the intent of the building code. 00:14:28
Without meaning the letter. 00:14:33
Does that make sense? 00:14:35
Hang up. 00:14:37
Not sure I have confidence. 00:14:40
County building Department. 00:14:43
To be able to make those. 00:14:45
Determination on. 00:14:48
Unusual structures. 00:14:49
One of the things that the International Code Council does. 00:14:51
Is certified. 00:14:54
And you know that typically because both. 00:14:57
Those individuals. 00:15:00
Usually very proud of that. 00:15:02
Enable the Word doc. 00:15:05
CEO. 00:15:08
Aim on our business parts. 00:15:10
And that's where my concern is the killing part. 00:15:15
I don't know that we have a certified building official within the county building department. 00:15:19
That's all I have to say. 00:15:25
Thank you, Mr. Key, thank you very much. Is there anyone else in Payson that wishes to speak? 00:15:27
To this item. 00:15:33
No, OK. Thank you, Tyler. 00:15:36
So with that, I will close the public hearing portion and I'll go ahead and reach back out to Supervisor Humphrey. 00:15:39
Can I just bring one more thing up real quick? OK, sure. Yeah, he couldn't make it today because of the conflict schedule. 00:15:50
Our schedule conflict anyways he wanted. One question he had was before, when we were talking about this, before we were talking 00:15:58
about the occupancy. 00:16:02
And one of the things that they had put in The thing is changed it to the International Building Code, which we agree with. 00:16:06
But it also had that it was if there was children 5 and under, they didn't apply. 00:16:13
And that was removed on this on this one. And we were just wondering why that was removed. 00:16:17
Thank you. OK. 00:16:22
Thank you. So I will close the public hearing portion right now. 00:16:23
And Randy comes back to the podium. Supervisor Humphrey, do you have any comments or questions? 00:16:27
I I don't other than like I said, reinventing the wheel is a difficult thing and. 00:16:34
And things will probably be need to be worked out for. 00:16:38
A long time to come and we'll get to this and. 00:16:43
There will be people that will have. 00:16:46
Short term rentals in Hilo County that haven't had or haven't been through all this process and they're going to want to know. 00:16:48
What the heck's been going on so? 00:16:54
I think this is anytime you create something new, there's always, there's always going to be issues and things to work with. 00:16:56
But so far, I think as a as a board and as a. 00:17:03
Randy and the building codes and things, I think we've, we've, we've shown that we're willing to work with people and try. 00:17:07
Try to do what what's right for everybody and for the constituents and people that visit Gila County so. 00:17:14
That's my one comment. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor Klein. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So we come a long ways on this. 00:17:21
And obviously there's going to be something still that will work and some things that will not work. 00:17:28
And as an ordinance, we can come back and readdress it. 00:17:33
Six months a year. 00:17:38
Whatever it is. And so it's more or less. 00:17:40
In a few years speech it's a working document as well. 00:17:43
And I listened to. 00:17:48
Mr. Keyes and. 00:17:52
Mr. Turner and all that, on all this and I. 00:17:53
I do rely heavily on you, Randy, to work with these folks. That's that's all I'm saying. And. 00:17:56
There's there's a lot of good people out there that's going to need help to bring their whatever they have up to snuff. And I 00:18:02
think that's. 00:18:05
I really do and. 00:18:08
From a county standpoint, I'm I'm hoping we keep that inside. 00:18:10
And and also I do understand, you know, in six months and. 00:18:15
It's falling apart or. 00:18:19
Something needs changed. 00:18:20
We'll bring it up to you, Joe. 00:18:22
And work on it the piano so. 00:18:24
Thank you. 00:18:26
Yeah. Thank you, Randy, for all you've done. 00:18:27
It has been quite a journey. 00:18:30
And there was never an intention to harm the short term rental businesses. 00:18:32
Just to. 00:18:37
Make sure there's things in place to protect. 00:18:38
The neighborhood or the neighbors and everything to where everybody kind of knows. 00:18:42
Where what the limitations are and things like that and so. 00:18:46
I don't believe it's ever been a desire of mine or the others to actually create ordinances. That's kind of a thing that's like 00:18:50
one of those. 00:18:54
You don't want to go that far. 00:18:57
I do believe we all. 00:18:59
Agree that we have to have something. 00:19:01
And now we have something. 00:19:03
To look at and vote on South. 00:19:05
And for supervisors knowledge I have been a certified building official for 15 plus years. 00:19:07
So, umm. 00:19:14
We're good on the code. 00:19:17
Right, OK. 00:19:19
And we will look at it as often as needed, so. 00:19:21
We do that all the time. 00:19:24
With that, then, I'll close the discussion and call for a motion on Item 3B. 00:19:26
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt ordinance #2025-O1. 00:19:32
And repeal previously adopted ordinance #2023-08. 00:19:37
Mr. Chair, I'll second that we have a. 00:19:43
A motion and a second and this will require you unanimous vote. 00:19:46
If to pass, is that correct? 00:19:51
No. 00:19:55
OK. The tower that we talked about. 00:19:56
OK, that one. OK, so we have a motion in a second to approve those in favor say aye. 00:19:59
Aye, aye. 00:20:04

Library. 00:21:27
This year's funding will remain the same as last year's. With the uncertainty in the federal government we are currently seeing, 00:21:31
the library districts wanted to make sure that we committed to the libraries and were able to fund at this value. So it's the same 00:21:35
as last year. 00:21:39

the hate with Hayden states that we will run the library. 00:22:55
Employee staff provide library programming, continue to add the collection and pay the utilities. 00:23:00
The town of Hayden, in turn, provides the building for free, no charge and breeze to maintain it. 00:23:06
That's all I have. If you have any questions I'll be happy to ask you. 00:23:13
Thank you so much. No questions, Supervisor client, I'm good. Thank you. Maybe as well I'll call for a motion. 00:23:15
This year I move to approve the Library Services agreement with the Town of Hayden. 00:23:22

Ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the Board Chairman to sign the Offer and Acceptance Form and as part of grant 00:24:02
application R. 00:24:06
FGA number 2025005 which was submitted to the Arizona Department of Health Services regarding the Arizona Health Zone SNAP add 00:24:10
program. 00:24:16
For fiscal year 2026. Good morning, Josh, good morning. So this is a grant we've had for the last 10 years now we've had two five 00:24:22
year cycles. We applied to extend for another five year cycle. 00:24:28
With the grant we have 3 full time staff we use it mostly for. 00:24:34
Helping out with the pacing. Community gardens. We teach classes like my plate through pyramid. Building better bones, calcium 00:24:38
stuff in schools. 00:24:43
Some of the work we did, we tried to help out with Miami with the stairs project, so. 00:24:47
A lot of good things come out of this. Mostly it's percentage of the Tanner for the food stamp dollars, the old terms that goes 00:24:52
towards education to make sure. 00:24:56
People understand the better ways to eat and spend that those dollars so. 00:25:01
I said it's not actually an award yet. This was an interesting grant where we had to sign the acceptance letter when we submitted 00:25:05
the grants. We don't actually know that we're going to get the award yet. 00:25:10
That's why this is one of the more interesting ones for us, and why we had to. 00:25:16
Come back and kind of do an immediate ask for the supervisor Christians, because we didn't know that we had that there so. 00:25:19
Is there any questions around that? That's what happened there and. 00:25:25
I think that's all I have for it. 00:25:28
Thank you, Josh. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:30
And you know nothing other than thank you for reaching for all the grants you can to help us. 00:25:32
With all you. 00:25:38
Supervisor. 00:25:40
Josh, how much money is involved in this grant? 00:25:42
Just don't. I mean it could fluctuate, I understand that, but. 00:25:45
We get. 00:25:48
I have to look up here again. I think they asked for 320 some thousand a year for the next 5 years. So it's it's a good amount, 00:25:49
yeah. 00:25:52
If you're asking because yeah, right now I have 9 of migraines, we're all zeroed out on the Health and Human Services budget for 00:25:56
the next budget year, so. 00:25:59
There'll be a lot more conversations, I assume here in the next few months about how. 00:26:04
Budget turns out and this is one I'm sure there will be. Thank you, Josh. 00:26:08
Thank you, Josh. With that, I'll call promotion. 00:26:13
Mr. Chair, I move to ratify the Board of Supervisors approval. 00:26:16
For the board chairman to sign the offer and acceptance form. 00:26:19
That is part of grant application RFGA #2025-005. 00:26:23
Which was submitted. 00:26:31
To the Arizona Department of Health Services. 00:26:33
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:26:35
We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:26:37
Aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Joshua. 00:26:40
Item 4D Information Discussion Action to approve an IGA with the Town of Payson to provide 210 yard roll off bins and $8000 to 00:26:43
support the. 00:26:48
Towns annual household, hazardous and electronic. 00:26:54
Waste Day event. 00:26:57
To be held on May 17. 00:26:59
2025 Good morning, Aaron. 00:27:01
Morning, Mr. Chairman, Supervisor Klein, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:27:03
The Healer County Public Works Department is seeking approval of an intergovernmental agreement with the Town of Payson. 00:27:08
To support its annual Household and Electronic Waste Day event. 00:27:14
Under the proposed agreement. 00:27:18
Gila County will provide 210 yard roll off bins and a contribution of $8000. 00:27:20
For one year, with the option to renew for up to three additional one year terms. 00:27:25
Gila County has supported this event since 2021. 00:27:31
With the exception of 2023 when the event was cancelled. 00:27:34
In 2022, the Town of Payson successfully collected and safely disposed of 51,454 lbs of hazardous waste. 00:27:38
For the 2025 event, recycling and landfill management has committed. 00:27:49
To providing the roll off bins. 00:27:53
And the $8000 contribution to offset vendor costs which last year? 00:27:55
Totaled $73,743.33. 00:28:01
These efforts play a crucial role in diverting dangerous waste from our local landfills, which were not permitted or able to 00:28:06
process. 00:28:10
So it's a valuable event going forward for the community. I'd be happy to take any questions. OK, thank you. 00:28:14
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:28:19
Is this out of general fund? 00:28:22
This is being paid for by the landfill. 00:28:24
So it's out of our enterprise fund, not the general fund. 00:28:27
OK, then I guess my question is, is. 00:28:30
What about the town of Globe Town? Miami Town? Hayden? 00:28:33
So is this something that we can do for our other towns and cities? 00:28:37
So as it stands currently we don't have any agreements with any other towns or cities, but I have reached out. 00:28:42
To the Globe Public Works Department, we're going to be reaching out to the town of Miami to find out one. 00:28:49
Do they do a household hazardous waste event in? 00:28:55
Would they like us to partner with them going forward to help assisting in that? 00:28:58
Because ultimately, it doesn't just benefit the community. 00:29:03
Communities that perform the events and benefits. 00:29:05
Our landfills as well. It's a benefit for the county. 00:29:09
And we are interested in expanding that further than currently. 00:29:12
I think there would be interest because. 00:29:16
Anytime they've asked for roll ups or something I've helped them with clean up days through constituent funds. 00:29:18
And and I think we're even doing one for Deer Creek Village on Thursday, yes. And so that. 00:29:25
You know, is what I've. 00:29:31
I get billed through constituent funds, so I think a lot of these communities. 00:29:33
Would, would, would be. 00:29:38
Interested in an agreement? 00:29:40
Such as this. 00:29:43
With the with the landfill. 00:29:44
Because you know if if hazardous waste is is. 00:29:47
His concern is concerning with our landfills. Then we need to check with our other cities and places as well. 00:29:52
To make it that much safer. 00:30:00
Correct. And we have begun that process. 00:30:02
Far enough of one that. 00:30:06
I can't answer any further, but we are interested in partnering with the other. 00:30:08
Towns and cities within the county. 00:30:11
Thank you very much. 00:30:13
Thank you, Supervisor. 00:30:15
Supervisor client. 00:30:16
Aaron I I agree with what Supervisor Humphrey said. I think when we. 00:30:18
When we start these deals and and it's, it's a benefit like you're saying for our landfill. 00:30:22
We need to reach out to all of our. 00:30:28
Our people out there and see what we can do, set these up. 00:30:31
Whether it's incorporated or unincorporated and so. 00:30:35
I would like to see that done. 00:30:38
The other thing of it is, is the $8000. 00:30:40
What? What are they gonna use that for? 00:30:44
The $8000 goes for offsetting the vendor costs for the companies that have to come in that actually provide for the removal of 00:30:47
that hazardous waste because it has to go to. 00:30:52
Whether it's various recyclers or different off site landfills that are able to process that waste. 00:30:57
Ultimately that has to be paid to be removed, so that's a contribution that we make to help out with that call. 00:31:04
OK. 00:31:10
OK. And this is coming out of the enterprise fund? 00:31:11
CS correct? 00:31:14
All right, well. 00:31:16
I, I, I I just find that kind of. 00:31:18
Kind of the interesting. 00:31:23
I mean, we could have. 00:31:27
Our money guys sitting over there, so if he's giving me the nod and that's. 00:31:29
Needs to come from but. 00:31:33
But if you guys could reach out to the rest of our. 00:31:35
Our areas for this out would be good. 00:31:38
I'd be more than happy to do that, thank you. 00:31:40
Yeah, I would agree with that. So we don't want hazardous waste, but. 00:31:44
What kind of waste are we talking about? 00:31:47
Paint so. 00:31:50
Essentially, it can go. 00:31:52
Anything from chemicals that you might find ranging from. 00:31:54
Antifreeze to different types of oils that we can't take. 00:31:59
Umm, you might find certain types of whites, electronics, batteries. These are items that we can't have breaking down within our 00:32:04
landfills because we're not permitted or equipped to handle it. 00:32:10
So. 00:32:16
Flammable aerosols. Any type of household chemical. 00:32:17
That could be considered hazardous to throw in the trash and what these events take care of. 00:32:21
OK. And so? 00:32:26
I agree that. 00:32:30
You should do some homework and report back. 00:32:31
To see how we can expand this. 00:32:33
Offering even if we don't have partners. 00:32:36
See if we can help with hazardous wasted. 00:32:39
I'd be more than happy to do that. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. OK, so with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:32:41
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve an intergovernmental agreement. 00:32:47
But the talent patient to support the town's annual Household Hazardous and Electronic Waste Day. 00:32:52
Event as presented. 00:32:58
Mr. Chair, I will second that we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:33:00
Aye Information discussion, action to approve. 00:33:07
Modifications 002. 00:33:13
The first Service Rd. Project agreement number 22 RO 11031200. 00:33:15
184. 00:33:21
Which updates administrative. 00:33:23
Contacts and extends the term of the agreement. 00:33:25
From 3/10/25. 00:33:29
To 9:30. 00:33:32
25. 00:33:34
Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 00:33:35
As you know, we have numerous agreements with the Forest Service working on various projects throughout the county. 00:33:39
To be the first of several that I'll be viewed. 00:33:44
Be bringing before you guys over the next few weeks. 00:33:47
Umm, this agreement right here is a modification of the existing agreement we've had in place for the last few years. 00:33:50
On a. 00:33:56
For Service Road 512. 00:33:58
Our wife disagreement. 00:34:00
Was leads to. 00:34:04
Or this is a request from the Forest Service to upgrade update the agreement. 00:34:07
With our proper contact information. 00:34:12
Currently it has. 00:34:15
Former director Villas named down as the primary contact, so this will update that. 00:34:16
And currently it expired and so we'll need this agreement to extend to the end of the. 00:34:21
Their year contract year, which will be. 00:34:26
September 30th, 2025. 00:34:29
OK. All right. So it's just cleaning up a couple of things on the contract. OK, Supervisor Humphrey? 00:34:32
Yeah, I think it's great. Any movement we have with this, we need them to be able to contact us with that. 00:34:38
And reach the right person, so I think it's a good deal. 00:34:44
Supervisor Klein. 00:34:48
Alex, thank you. But I have a question. I thought this was supposed to be done last March. 00:34:50
You're right, it was. 00:34:55
So with the new. 00:34:59
Federal government, there was a. 00:35:01
Delay and making sure everything got done. 00:35:03
And so. 00:35:05
Based on that, this agreement was then rewritten by them and. 00:35:07
Requested by them to make this from the feds. 00:35:10
Didn't we contract all this out already to have a? 00:35:15
Have Kimley Horne do it or some company good to begin with. 00:35:18
The environmental part of it. 00:35:22
Correct. Yes, it's coming, Horner Associates. 00:35:24
And yes, it was supposed to be done by March 30th. 00:35:27
What involvement did the feds have on that? 00:35:30
Process. I mean, last I knew it was going really well and actually the feds were telling me. 00:35:32
That this should be kind of like a spotlight. 00:35:38
Project as good as it was going. 00:35:41
Right. So at the point that we had left it last year. 00:35:44
It was Kim Lee Horn working with the Forest Service. 00:35:49
Getting all their. 00:35:52
He's accused the line. 00:35:54
And. 00:35:55
Where we left it. So yeah, yes, it was. 00:35:56
An ideal project. 00:35:59
However, it's now been pushed out for a few more months. 00:36:01
Well. 00:36:07
I see these are the things that frustrate me. 00:36:10
Really. Do we spend tons of money on these projects? 00:36:14
And then something like this comes up and it's like. 00:36:17
And when I got everybody telling me it's a good project, things are on schedule, it's going to end and be done with it in our 00:36:22
yada, yada, yada. 00:36:25
And then this hits US. 00:36:29
So if you guys would, I would like to be kept informed if this isn't going. 00:36:31
Like like it needs to be. We need to know. 00:36:39
Right, I agree with that. 00:36:43
This is part of this is out of our hands. This is between the Forest Service and Kimberly Horner on their side of things. Totally 00:36:44
understand that. 00:36:48
Totally. 00:36:52
And we can go to the Forest Service and Kimberly Horns under contract with this. 00:36:53
And and see, that's what I'm saying. 00:37:00
When I'm getting a little touchy on these consultants signing these contracts and all of a sudden we're extending contracts. 00:37:02
And it seems like we do that about 100% of the time. 00:37:08
And so, umm. 00:37:13
I think it's time we maybe held some people's feet to the fire. 00:37:15
You know, they know what they're into when they get get in there. I know the government's had some shake UPS. 00:37:20
But the government also was the one relying on human going to get all this time. 00:37:25
So. 00:37:29
So we, we really need to be kept abreast of this because I, I don't like it to be. 00:37:30
And it's not our fault, I agree. 00:37:35
Totally agree. 00:37:38
But. 00:37:40
Just let us know. 00:37:42
We'll do better about keeping you in the loop. 00:37:43
Can I have nothing? Yes, Tom. 00:37:45
So I just want to say some of the delays. 00:37:48
Or the review periods. 00:37:50
So a lot of for the EA to be finalized, it has to be reviewed by the Tonto National Forest, it has to be reviewed by US Fishing 00:37:52
Wildlife Service. 00:37:57
Has to be reviewed by Arizona Game and Fish. 00:38:03
A lot of these reviews are taking longer than. 00:38:06
We anticipated and longer than Kimberly Horn anticipated. 00:38:09
For instance, the Tonto National Forest, a lot of times the people that have to do the reviews, they get pulled off to. 00:38:13
Maybe go fight a fire or go help manage a fire. 00:38:20
They get pulled off for all kinds of different assignments that. 00:38:23
It's hard to anticipate. So that is why we're seeing a lot of these delays. 00:38:27
I don't. I just don't want to. Everybody think it's strictly kidney horns there. 00:38:32
They've been working as best as they can. 00:38:37
So, Tom, thank you for that. 00:38:39
And you're not wrong. 00:38:41
But I will tell you that in the NEPA process, there's deadlines that you meet. 00:38:44
There's review periods that's outlined in those processes, whether it's 45 days or whatever from the time it's turned in. 00:38:49
If those if that's not happening. 00:38:57
Even on the federal level. 00:39:00
We need to know about that. 00:39:02
That's what I'm saying we need to know. 00:39:05
The government's famous for running off the fires and plant. That's what they'll do. 00:39:09
And that's BS, to be totally honest with you, when we have projects going on and they sign. 00:39:14
Agreements, or they're part of a process, they need to be held. 00:39:20
Fire just as well as killing Horn or anybody else you deal with. 00:39:24
But we need to know that. 00:39:28
You know, we can make those phone calls, we can go have those conversations with them. 00:39:30
And we can push to have things like this. I'm, I'm just, I guess what I'm trying to say is I've sat here for over 8 years. 00:39:36
And see things dragged out and dragged out and dragged out. 00:39:43
And I've got 3 1/2 years more to go and I'm not going to say. 00:39:47
Here and see that, so if there's something going on. 00:39:50
Don't just hold it in your department to yourselves. By all means, reach out to me, to the board, whatever it takes. 00:39:53
And we can start addressing these things. 00:39:59
We're we're the ones coming up with that money. We're the ones paying the price. 00:40:02
To have this done, we should have some say so. 00:40:06
On a timely manner and getting these completed. 00:40:09
You know, because you look at this, we're a year behind basically. 00:40:12
That's what we are and when I go to these town hall meetings. 00:40:17
Or Steve sits on Kmog and we talk about 512 and how we're making progress. 00:40:21
And then we turn around and look at this and we're a year behind. 00:40:26
Oh, that don't sit well with me. 00:40:30
At all. So just please keep us in. 00:40:32
Yes, Sir. 00:40:35
You're correct. 00:40:36
Yeah. Thank. Thank you guys for all that you do. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:40:37
Sure, I move to approve. 00:40:44
Modification 002. 00:40:47
To forward service Rd. project agreement number. 00:40:50
22-40 dash. 00:40:53
11031200 Dash 184, as presented. 00:40:55
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. OK, a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. 00:41:02
Aye, thank you. Item 4S information discussion action authorized the advertisement of invitation for bids number. 00:41:07
02242025. 00:41:15
Gibson Ranch Rd. Roadway improvement project, Alex. 00:41:18
Good morning again, Mr. Chair and Board of Supervisors. 00:41:22
This is the Gibson Ranch roadway improvement project. 00:41:25
Double engineering has provided us with. 00:41:29
Plans and specs. 00:41:32
We actually brought this back before you guys back in November. 00:41:34
And then there was a mishap with the chip seal project in Gazila and so we pulled back. 00:41:37
Reevaluated. 00:41:41
This project in light of that project and. 00:41:43
Pleased to bring it back before you and ready to go out forbid for this project. 00:41:46
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:41:50
No questions, Supervisor Klein. 00:41:54
Alex, I'm good. I understand the delay on this. 00:41:56
And everything. 00:42:00
This is a. This is an important project. 00:42:02
I'm gonna just say that straight up and. 00:42:04
And so if there's any changes, please tell me. 00:42:07
We'll let you know. 00:42:10
Alex, is this about a full mile project? 00:42:12
2 1/2 miles and a half, OK. 00:42:15
Yeah, I've been on that road. It's actually nicer to drive off the road. 00:42:18
Very needed. Thank you. With that I will call promotion. 00:42:22
Mr. 00:42:28
I'll make the motion to authorize advertisement of invitation for bids number. 00:42:30
02242025. 00:42:34
I'll second it. I have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:42:38
Aye, aye, aye. Thank you, Alex. Thank you. 00:42:42
All right, 4G is information discussion action to adopt A revised Public Works Department policy number. 00:42:45
PWS 01/1 tool replacement. 00:42:52
Good morning, Mr. White. 00:42:56
Good morning, Chairman. Supervisors, The next 4 items on here are kind of closely related. 00:42:58
They're related to the inspection that we recently had with the Arizona Department of Occupational. 00:43:05
Safety and health. 00:43:11
What we found out after that is we just have a couple of our. 00:43:13
Policies that just needed some cleaning up, most of them just needed some minor revisions, so. 00:43:17
On this first one for the coal policy, one of the things that we needed to add to make sure we're more in line with how the 00:43:22
regulations are written. 00:43:26
For our tool replacement policy, we just needed to add in there that when we're doing the. 00:43:30
Inventory on an annual basis that we need to actually do an inspection of the tools. 00:43:37
With that. 00:43:42
Inventory, just to make sure everything's in working order. So we added that into the policy and that's really the only change on 00:43:43
this first one. 00:43:47
I can go through the other ones real quick or we can do one at a time. 00:43:52
Oh yeah, one, I guess. I guess my question would be when our techs are higher today. 00:43:58
Do they furnish their own tools? 00:44:04
They purchased some of their own tools, anything that's under 3/4 of an inch bracket size or less. 00:44:07
They furnished their own. The rest of the tools are supplying by. 00:44:14
By the county OK, so this tool replacement is it for the? 00:44:17
The shop or the text? 00:44:22
It's it's for both. So if we see anything that's not working or not good working order. 00:44:25
It's the text. 00:44:30
Then that will get replaced and they get reimbursed for that if it's their own tool. 00:44:32
If it's the county's tool, then we would just replace that. 00:44:37
As well. 00:44:40
OK. I just could that also be used to supply some of the text with tools that when they're hired with their tools? 00:44:42
Don't have the proper tool. 00:44:47
Generally, there's a certain list of tools that. 00:44:50
And this is standard throughout the industry. There's a standard list of tools that. 00:44:56
Mechanics are required to supply themselves as. 00:45:00
Part of coming on is. 00:45:05
An employee and that's pretty consistent throughout the industry. 00:45:07
I just think, I mean I've had rentals for 20 years. I don't wear out so. 00:45:12
I mean, I guess I was just wondering how all this places where it goes and. 00:45:17
What tools were replaced? 00:45:21
Yeah, I think, I think as some of the. 00:45:23
With Adosh, I think they've seen some of the tools that look like they had where some of the handles were worn down and they were 00:45:25
getting pretty particular. So we just want to make sure that. 00:45:30
In that annual inventory time that we're really taking a look at and doing a closer inspection of the tools at the same time. 00:45:35
No further questions. Thank you. 00:45:42
Supervisor client. 00:45:44
Joy, thank you. How much money do we give our mechanics every year to? 00:45:45
Put them on their tool inventory. 00:45:50
Then get up to $800 and reimburse. 00:45:52
OK. 00:45:55
OK. And that still seems to be adequate with our mechanics? 00:45:56
I haven't had any issues or had any complaints come up. Regard. 00:46:00
OK. Thank you. 00:46:03
That's every year. 00:46:05
Up to if they replace something, show the receipt, then they get the right person. 00:46:08
OK. Thank you, Troy. With that, I'll call for motion. 00:46:12
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt A revised Public Works Department policy number PWS 01/1. 00:46:17
And I'll second that motion a second to approve item 4G. 00:46:24
Those in favor say aye aye aye. Item 4H is information discussion action to adopt public work department policy number. 00:46:28
TWN 02/1 tool safety and inspection, which replaces policy. 00:46:37
DPW 07-01. 00:46:42
Equipment safety policy trial. 00:46:46
Thank you, Chairman. Supervisors, again, this is. 00:46:48
Along that same vein. 00:46:52
This one did have some pretty major revisions so that we would be closer aligned with the regulation that's concerning tool safety 00:46:54
with within OSHA. 00:46:59
The three major components of these changes include. 00:47:05
Again, hand tools was part of the equipment that we're inspecting. 00:47:08
Also we're we're testing the employees knowledge on some of the equipment just to make sure that they have the knowledge to work 00:47:12
pieces of equipment. I guess that came up here in the inspection. 00:47:17
And then specific examples are listed in here of wind tools are to be replaced so during that annual inspection period. 00:47:23
What are you looking for? What would qualify for a replacement of a tool? So those are kind of identified in here. 00:47:32
To give the managers examples of what they're looking for. 00:47:38
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:47:42
You have no further questions. 00:47:47
Supervisor client. 00:47:48
Troy, I know we've talked about this through the years I've been here, but. 00:47:50
Or do we have any of our mechanics going through recertification processes or? 00:47:54
Working on new certifications for. 00:47:59
Whatever it may be. 00:48:02
We do have. 00:48:05
Training that we try to get each of our employees each year. 00:48:07
I know a lot of the equipment, the manufacturers, if we have a new piece of equipment, we haven't taken them before the. 00:48:12
Manufacturers were offered trading on that, so we get the employees trained on that. 00:48:19
A lot of times, you know, with your regular, what we call vanilla fleet, your cars and your trucks and stuff like that. 00:48:24
There are research that they go through with that if they're updating software or updating any of the testing equipment that goes 00:48:33
on those. So we we have a pretty good training program within our fleet. 00:48:38
Department. 00:48:44
And our folks seem to be wanting to take it. 00:48:46
Advantage of that and use it I mean when work. 00:48:49
Work up in it I mean. 00:48:51
Is there interest in it? 00:48:53
Yeah, I think for the most part, most of most of the mechanics are very interested. They take this very passionately. They love 00:48:56
what they do and. 00:49:00
Any training that you can get online? 00:49:04
From my experience, they're all for it. 00:49:06
This is one thing that has been real important to me because we can take these young folks, whether they're just out of high 00:49:11
school or they're looking for something else. 00:49:15
We train them up when we put the time and effort into them and then with the hopes of someday they're going to be the shop 00:49:19
foreman's. 00:49:22
They're going to be the ones that they're in charge. 00:49:26
And this has been something that I've. 00:49:28
Really had a big interest to keep going and. 00:49:31
And hoping that we're taking advantage of all this. We as a county, I mean, this board has made a commitment to support. 00:49:34
Training over the years, so I'm hoping our folks are doing that. 00:49:41
Absolutely. Thank you, Troy. You're welcome. 00:49:44
Thank you, Troy. With our call promotion, Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS Dash 00:49:47
02/1. 00:49:51
Dash tool safety and inspection as presented. 00:49:56
I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:50:00
Aye Item 4I Information, discussion action without public works, Department of policy number. 00:50:05
PWF 02/2. 00:50:12
Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety, which replaces policy number DPW and Dash 02. 00:50:14
Thank you, Chairman Board. This one had some very minor revisions to it, just again to align with. 00:50:23
The OSHA regulations in here. 00:50:30
Umm, it deals with. 00:50:34
Material Safety data sheets. 00:50:36
And who's responsible for maintaining those? We have to identify somebody that's responsible in each division. So we made that the 00:50:38
responsibility of the division managers. 00:50:43
Really that's the only changes here is just you identify that area of responsibility for these. 00:50:48
Thank you, Supervisor. Humphrey, I have no question, Supervisor. 00:50:55
Troy, will those be reviewed? 00:50:59
Quite often. 00:51:02
The material safety desk to make sure we're up to stuff on that. Yeah, every time. And that's why we wanted to have an assigned 00:51:04
person that's responsible for this. But every time you bring any new chemical, it should be. 00:51:10
The safety data sheet should be updated at the same time. 00:51:16
The material safety gas sheets is real important. Something was to go wrong. You know they're gonna go digging at us to see what 00:51:19
we missed. 00:51:22
And if somebody's you, you, you're absolutely right having somebody in charge of that. 00:51:26
Is really really important so. 00:51:32
Thank you. 00:51:34
Victoria, with that, I'll call for motion. 00:51:36
Mr. Chair moved to adopt Public Works Department policy number. 00:51:38
PWS Dash 02/2 as presented. 00:51:43
I'll second that. We'll show the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:51:47
Aye, last one, Troy. Item 4. J Information, discussion action. 00:51:52
To adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS 02/3. 00:51:57
Hazardous energy control. 00:52:02
Slash lockout tag out. 00:52:05
Which replaces policy number DPW 10. 00:52:07
Dash 01. 00:52:11
Thank you, Chairman Board, again, this is some. 00:52:13
This was a minor revision as well. 00:52:16
Our previous policy didn't really include the. 00:52:19
Energy control for heavy equipment and that is required is that you have to have energy equipment covered in your. 00:52:24
Energy control process or procedures? 00:52:31
We've modified this lockout tag out to include. 00:52:36
The process and procedures for locking out and tagging out heavy equipment. 00:52:40
And that's what was added to this. 00:52:45
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. No questions, Supervisor Klein. 00:52:48
What's an example of that boy? 00:52:52
Let's see, you're working on a. 00:52:54
A lawnmower and you bring a lawnmower into the shop. 00:52:57
Umm, you actually, once you start working on that, you're going to start. 00:53:01
Getting into it, you actually have to lock that machine out. 00:53:06
To ensure that if the mechanic that's working on it steps away for whatever reason. 00:53:09
And he's got gas lines open or whatever. Somebody can't come in and inadvertently start the machine. 00:53:15
It can't inadvertently be. 00:53:21
You know, started or somebody else doesn't know where it's at in the process and they come in and think that it's drivable or 00:53:24
whatever. So you actually have to. 00:53:27
Make sure that piece of equipment is. 00:53:31
Is cordoned off, locked out and bagged out. OK, thank you. 00:53:33
Thank you. And without a promotion? 00:53:38
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt Public Works Department policy number PWS Dash 02/3. 00:53:40
Presented. I'll second that motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:53:47
Aye, thank Mr. White for all that and we're down to item 4K. 00:53:53
It's information discussion action approved economic development agreement number 04072025. 00:53:59
Between Hewlett County and the Rim Country Mountain Bike Association and the amount of $8025. 00:54:06
To purchase the three remaining trail gates for the Highline Trail, which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the 00:54:11
public. This is my item, but I know that we all support trails and everything. 00:54:17
And we're getting kind of down to the end of the month. 00:54:22
So I decided I'll just go take care of this. It's probably the easiest way to go. I think. We have with us Trevor Crichton and 00:54:25
Angie Abel. 00:54:29
And. 00:54:34
The trails in northern Gila County, which is where this is is this particular trail is very. 00:54:35
Famous trail The Highline Trail. 00:54:43
A lot of volunteers working on it. 00:54:45
There's three barbed wire fences that these gates will. 00:54:47
Provide uh. 00:54:52
An easier access through the wildwater fences rather than the regular barbed wire. 00:54:53
Cattle fences. 00:54:59
You encounter when you're out. 00:55:02
Out there and so. 00:55:04
Probably added the safety of getting the gates closed and ease of opening and shutting them. 00:55:06
And they're kind of expensive, but they're pretty nice to get. 00:55:12
All metal has logo on it. 00:55:15
Highline Trail. 00:55:18
And all of that stuff. So we have with us. 00:55:19
So the money is going to channel through this bike association. 00:55:22
But it's going to benefit. 00:55:26
Everyone. 00:55:27
So, Trevor? 00:55:28
Angie, do you have anything you'd like to add? 00:55:30
No, I mean, uh. 00:55:34
We're super excited and. 00:55:35
The highlight trail at this point is completely accessible to all users, hikers, questions, and not hackers. 00:55:37
All major reroutes are completed. 00:55:46
Hey, kudos to Talk National Forest and the National Forest Foundation. 00:55:49
Just kind of leaving the charge on that effort. 00:55:53
It's it's an amazing 50. 00:55:56
So on piles and threads of trails. 00:55:59
OK. Thank you very much for that, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:56:04
Yeah, I wish I could see a picture of one of these gates, because the old zigzag gates. 00:56:08
Can't be left open. I mean, they're always open. You just got a zigzag room. 00:56:13
And so something that. 00:56:18
Someone can leave open. 00:56:19
I don't know, it concerns me. So I was looking through my deal to see a picture of this new and approved gate. 00:56:23
But it would concern me if someone could just leave it open. 00:56:31
Umm, because that's one of the major problems. 00:56:34
On some of cattle ranches as people leaving gates open and animals. 00:56:38
Being able to change pastures. 00:56:42
But that's my only question. 00:56:45
There may have been a deep lease up on these. Gates are already on. These are to remain. 00:56:49
The regular type marked wiring steps. 00:56:55
For lack of a better term, Yankee. 00:57:00
Right, They're not easy to open and close and so. 00:57:05
The acid that we're putting on. 00:57:09
Explain. There's just one simple. 00:57:12
Definitely something that I think you. 00:57:15
Were more akin to to close behind them. 00:57:18
Other than something that you have to make sure that it's back the way it was when you got there. 00:57:21
OK. I guess then because you're just replacing. 00:57:28
Made Bob Wire. 00:57:32
Gates OK. I was thinking, you know, like on most trail heads where they have the zigzag Bob wire. 00:57:34
And then it goes off of both ways, so you can just zigzag through it and cattle won't. 00:57:41
And so that's what that's what. 00:57:46
I had pictured in my mind. 00:57:49
Yes, these are just like drive through gates that you open. 00:57:51
I can understand making them easier to open. 00:57:55
But the ones that you just exact through. 00:57:58
That's what I had pictured in my mind, so thank you. 00:58:01

OK. 00:58:28
I can look through that real quick, Supervisor Klein. 00:58:30
How, uh, how wide are these gates? 00:58:33
So standard for non motorized rails, 48 inches to allow for mount bikers and the questions. 00:58:39
So they're designed that. 00:58:48
Oh yeah, yeah. Good deal. 00:58:55

Pack animals so. 00:59:03
No, thanks for the help on that. And Supervisor Christensen, I'd help you out, but it's at the end of the year for me. Yeah, it's 00:59:05

And, umm. 01:03:42
I would say that Mister Marshall spoke with me. 01:03:45
On Saturday night. 01:03:50
And told me of. 01:03:53
An insurance company, that is. 01:03:56
Ensuring. 01:03:59
People where others are dropping because of the fire. 01:04:01
Things and so that information is available through him. 01:04:06

No something. 01:04:11
And so that's all I have so. 01:04:13
You know, then we're going to go to item 8. 01:04:16
Executive Yes, Sir. And you said you spoke with the. 01:04:19
Representative Marshall on insurance and that's. 01:04:23
Through him, no. 01:04:27
To be clear, he encountered a problem with his insurance rates and he found a company. 01:04:31
OK. But that information you can get from him? 01:04:37
As far as what that company is? 01:04:40
Oh, OK, I mean I have it. 01:04:43
OK, then I don't get it from you. 01:04:46
Or a business. 01:04:49
Necessarily, but he does have some. 01:04:51
Share You want us to e-mail it to you? There's a lot of people listening that are having difficult time getting insurance and all 01:04:54
of a sudden there's a hidden insurance company somewhere over a state representative who gets. So anyway, that's all I was getting 01:05:00
at so. 01:05:05
No, I've got insurance. I'm good, but some of my constituents don't have. Count your blessings, no. 01:05:11
But if they contact me I have his number. 01:05:19
Yeah, so. 01:05:24
That is on our topic right now. 01:05:28
OK, let's go ahead and go to item number 8, executive session items we have. 01:05:30
8A and B to discuss and so I'm going to call for a motion to go into executive session to address. 01:05:35
