| On. | 00:01:44 | |
| People looking for you. | 00:01:45 | |
| People looking to realize that it's not the government. | 00:01:48 | |
| It's not one person. | 00:01:51 | |
| It's not a title. | 00:01:54 | |
| But it is not. | 00:01:56 | |
| Lord, I pray for our Board of Supervisors. | 00:01:59 | |
| Lord, I pray that they would have. | 00:02:04 | |
| Wisdom or that their hearts would be. | 00:02:06 | |
| Surely focused on the good. | 00:02:10 | |
| Of the people in the county. | 00:02:13 | |
| Gila County. | 00:02:15 | |
| And the rest of the people. | 00:02:16 | |
| On it at March. | 00:02:18 | |

| Community Preparedness. | 00:07:58 | |
| 101 or CPG 101 through FEMA. | 00:08:00 | |
| This required some. | 00:08:04 | |
| Updates with the transition. | 00:08:06 | |
| To the new administration and kind of falling in line with their objectives. | 00:08:08 | |
| There's nothing. | 00:08:12 | |
| Major in terms of changes, just some language. | 00:08:13 | |

| Extreme weather resilience goes. | 00:08:20 | |

| Preparing a county vehicle. | 00:09:49 | |
| With custom graphics that will invite. | 00:09:51 | |
| And possibly encourage EULA County residents to sign up. | 00:09:54 | |
| For the emergency notification system. | 00:09:58 | |
| Carl again. | 00:10:01 | |
| Yes, Chairman, Board of Supervisors, this is an exciting opportunity. | 00:10:02 | |
| We've been partnering with Arizona Public Service for the past couple of years to help. | 00:10:07 | |
| Educate the public and prepare the public. | 00:10:12 | |
| In light of the public Safety power shutoff program. | 00:10:14 | |
| We've done some incredible work with them as far as outreach and. | 00:10:17 | |
| Not only. | 00:10:21 | |
| With them helping people sign up for our notification system but us to help. | 00:10:22 | |
| Our vulnerable populations with medical dependencies on power. | 00:10:26 | |
| Be able to get in contact with apps to make sure that they are aware that. | 00:10:30 | |
| As far as power restoration goes, they may have critical life lines dependent on electricity. | 00:10:34 | |
| So that they can provide additional aid to them. | 00:10:39 | |
| This has been a program that I bought. | 00:10:42 | |
| Brought before you. | 00:10:44 | |
| A couple of Times Now. | 00:10:45 | |
| APS would like to help us support that messaging and outreach. | 00:10:47 | |
| So this $50,000 will be used to. | 00:10:51 | |
| Purchase an outfit a new vehicle to assist with outreach and also response. | 00:10:55 | |
| Our current Emergency Management vehicle has definitely served its purpose and done its time. | 00:11:00 | |
| But with the conditions that it's. | 00:11:06 | |
| Usually deployed in whether it be fires, floods. | 00:11:09 | |
| Our vehicles get it a little bit rougher than the average county fleet vehicle, so. | 00:11:12 | |
| This is a great opportunity for us to. | 00:11:18 | |
| Not only increase our out. | 00:11:20 | |
| Reach, but also our. | 00:11:22 | |
| Footprint for promoting registration and mass notification and just. | 00:11:23 | |
| Education. | 00:11:27 | |
| For the public to help kind of build that culture. | 00:11:29 | |
| Of preparedness, which is. | 00:11:32 | |
| Critical now more than ever. | 00:11:33 | |
| OK. Thank you. I'll. | 00:11:37 | |
| Just thank you to Arizona Public Service for being a partner. | 00:11:39 | |
| With us. | 00:11:43 | |
| In all of this so. | 00:11:44 | |
| Yeah. Thank you very much. | 00:11:45 | |
| You know, supervisor, client. Same goes for me too. Girl thing. | 00:11:47 | |
| Yeah, thanks. Carl. Do you know what vehicle you're going to do or if it's possible to do more than one? | 00:11:50 | |
| Unfortunately, with today's vehicle prices, I don't know if we can do more than one. | 00:11:56 | |
| What we're allowed so far, but. | 00:12:00 | |
| We're looking at probably mid sized SUV, probably an explore. | 00:12:02 | |
| That's still able to, you know, pull a trailer in case we need to deploy. | 00:12:06 | |
| Sandbags or UTV? | 00:12:10 | |
| But also able to do long distance travel for attending anything community based. I see. | 00:12:12 | |
| Great. | 00:12:18 | |
| OK. With that, I'll call for motion. | 00:12:18 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #25-10-020. | 00:12:20 | |
| Then I'll second that. | 00:12:26 | |
| Motion the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. | 00:12:28 | |
| Thank you, Chairman. | 00:12:33 | |
| Yeah, OK. Item 4C Information, discussion action. | 00:12:34 | |
| To prove economic development agreement number. | 00:12:39 | |
| 0266. | 00:12:42 | |
| Dash 0000075. | 00:12:44 | |
| Between Hill County and the Payson Hilo County Sheriff's policy. | 00:12:47 | |
| Incorporating the amount of $9000 to support the shop with a hero. | 00:12:51 | |
| Program. | 00:12:55 | |
| Which the Board of Supervisors determined to be for the benefit of the public. I will go ahead and start the conversation. | 00:12:56 | |
| The This is something we've done. | 00:13:06 | |
| For a number of years. | 00:13:08 | |
| This is a shared between the three supervisors amount of money. | 00:13:10 | |
| And 3000 each if I remember right and. | 00:13:15 | |
| It's to promote a program that's ongoing. | 00:13:18 | |
| And with us this morning we have. | 00:13:22 | |
| With the Sheriff's Department. Cole Amte. | 00:13:25 | |
| And we have Sarah. | 00:13:27 | |
| Quite. Benny, how are we doing this today? Good. Yeah, Sounds great. | 00:13:29 | |
| OK. All right, good. Thank you. | 00:13:33 | |
| Good morning, Chairman and members of the board. So. | 00:13:37 | |
| As you guys know, we've been doing this for several years now since A. | 00:13:40 | |
| About 2017. | 00:13:43 | |
| It's grown to a point where we support. | 00:13:46 | |
| 60 kids. | 00:13:49 | |
| Divided between the. | 00:13:50 | |
| Northern part of the county. In the southern part of the county. | 00:13:51 | |
| 60 is about all we can support. | 00:13:54 | |
| We've had. | 00:13:57 | |
| We've had a lot of people come to us and want to figure out how to. | 00:13:58 | |
| Donate more money. | 00:14:01 | |
| And be involved. | 00:14:02 | |
| However, because the way the program works and you try to put a kid with several different first responders. | 00:14:04 | |
| Between the fire department and ambulance workers. | 00:14:10 | |
| Police Department's Highway Patrol. | 00:14:14 | |
| And the Sheriff's Office. | 00:14:16 | |
| Really to give the kid the best experience possible. | 00:14:18 | |
| 60's the Max that. | 00:14:21 | |
| So this. | 00:14:24 | |
| This donation from the three supervisors helps us to continue that. | 00:14:25 | |
| That program. | 00:14:30 | |
| The applications go out to schools. They're available at the Sheriff's Office and a couple. | 00:14:31 | |
| Other places they're reviewed. | 00:14:34 | |
| In December. And then there's a group that decides. | 00:14:37 | |
| You know, and, and it's, it's tough to decide. | 00:14:40 | |
| But there's a group that decides which 60 kids we can do this for. | 00:14:43 | |
| And then? | 00:14:46 | |
| We oftentimes have more money, we're able to kind of contribute to the community and those. | 00:14:47 | |
| Those kids in in other ways we bought bikes before we've. | 00:14:52 | |
| We've brought presents to houses that you know there wasn't. | 00:14:56 | |
| The ability for the kid to travel because they were so far out in the county. | 00:14:59 | |
| It's a great program, Sir. Do you have anything to add to that? We'll just take any questions if you guys have. | 00:15:04 | |
| OK. Thank you for that. Supervisor Humphrey, where, where do you shop? | 00:15:09 | |
| For these Walmart sets up. | 00:15:13 | |
| They basically set aside a. | 00:15:17 | |
| A set of registers off to the side. | 00:15:19 | |
| Both in the northern part of the county and then. | 00:15:21 | |
| Down here. | 00:15:24 | |
| To help us. | 00:15:25 | |
| Facilitate that so we. | 00:15:27 | |
| Have the kids meet at a. | 00:15:29 | |
| At a location that we don't disclose to the public because we don't really want anybody just to. | 00:15:31 | |
| Drop some kids off there. | 00:15:35 | |
| So only the only the participants know where and when. | 00:15:36 | |
| They get dropped off, we give them breakfast, they get to hang out. | 00:15:40 | |
| With with law enforcement put them in some fire trucks. Sometimes they have helicopters land. | 00:15:43 | |
| We get to kind of see that and then we bring them over to Walmart, they shop for about. | 00:15:48 | |
| An hour or two for themselves and another family members. | 00:15:52 | |
| And then we run them through a register and then. | 00:15:55 | |
| There's we've got one or two people that are sitting there with. | 00:15:57 | |
| Gift cards. | 00:16:01 | |
| That we return the donations and the gift cards. | 00:16:02 | |
| And then pay Walmart back with the gift cards, and then we've got a whole bunch of people. | 00:16:04 | |
| Stacked up, usually in the garden centers to wrap all the gifts. | 00:16:08 | |
| And it's important to mention that Walmart is a great partner. | 00:16:11 | |
| They have Santa there, they have else there. | 00:16:15 | |
| They do a really good job having us come in and accommodating all these children. | 00:16:18 | |
| OK, Yeah. No, thank you for commenting on that. I. | 00:16:24 | |
| Thought that needed to get in there. | 00:16:27 | |
| They donate all the wrapping paper Walmart does, so they're a great partner. | 00:16:33 | |
| No, it's a great program. Thank you very much. | 00:16:39 | |
| Yeah, Thank you, Supervisor Klein. | 00:16:41 | |
| I I just. | 00:16:43 | |
| Yeah, it's a terrific program. | 00:16:44 | |
| Thank you guys for sticking with it and doing it. | 00:16:46 | |
| Is there any way we can? | 00:16:49 | |
| Do more whatever, just let us know. | 00:16:51 | |
| Yeah. Appreciate you all you're doing though. | 00:16:53 | |
| Thank you. | 00:16:56 | |
| Yeah, I appreciate it too. And. | 00:16:57 | |
| But one thing that. | 00:16:59 | |
| Isn't mentioned often as it's more about your shopping or. | 00:17:01 | |
| You know, underprivileged getting. | 00:17:05 | |
| Something that they can use or have or give. | 00:17:07 | |
| But it's the interface between. | 00:17:10 | |
| Our public service people. | 00:17:14 | |
| And the kids that may not always see. | 00:17:16 | |
| That interface as friendly. | 00:17:19 | |
| But in this case. | 00:17:21 | |
| They're they're, they're really heroes. They're friends. | 00:17:23 | |
| They're part of. | 00:17:26 | |
| Being a good buddy. | 00:17:29 | |
| You know, and that's. | 00:17:31 | |
| Really great because we have the police and we have the fire department we have. | 00:17:33 | |
| The Sheriff's Department, there's. | 00:17:37 | |
| The slots, The engines. | 00:17:39 | |
| You know, they make a big deal out of it. It's really cool. | 00:17:41 | |
| Yeah, Native air sometimes will bring in their helicopter if possible. So it it is a really neat experience and the majority of | 00:17:44 | |
| these kids. | 00:17:48 | |
| And do not get to see. | 00:17:52 | |
| This in a positive light, except maybe this one time a year. | 00:17:54 | |
| Exactly, and it gives them a chance to buy gifts for other family members in the house too, or something that they might not | 00:17:57 | |
| usually get to experience. | 00:18:01 | |
| And I've seen kids years later. | 00:18:05 | |
| And I got to, to work with, you know, as a deputy. | 00:18:06 | |
| And they, they Remember Me and they remember the whole experience. | 00:18:10 | |
| Well, I think it's really important we teach. | 00:18:15 | |
| People or kids especially how to give? | 00:18:17 | |
| Not just how to take. | 00:18:20 | |
| And so it's a great program, so. | 00:18:21 | |
| With that, I'll call for a motion for this item. | 00:18:24 | |
| Make sure I move to approve Economic development agreement number. | 00:18:27 | |

| I'm filled, Miche. | 00:30:22 | |
| Agreeing to assist with. | 00:30:24 | |
| Pima County's annual financial statement. | 00:30:25 | |
| Preparation. | 00:30:28 | |
| Good morning, Downey. | 00:30:29 | |
| Good morning, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Klein. | 00:30:32 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:30:34 | |
| Annually we contract with Hindfield Meach and Company. | 00:30:36 | |
| To prepare a financial statements. | 00:30:39 | |
| To bring in all the data from the various financial systems. | 00:30:42 | |
| To present the information correctly. | 00:30:46 | |
| To the Auditor General office. | 00:30:49 | |
| This year we are bringing this to your. | 00:30:52 | |
| To you for signature. | 00:30:55 | |
| As it's the first year that we have hit that $50,000. | 00:30:57 | |
| Mark and also. | 00:31:01 | |
| Because, umm. | 00:31:03 | |
| Given the climate in Arizona. | 00:31:06 | |
| Regarding audits, so that we are being fully transparent. | 00:31:08 | |
| With our constituents and with you. | 00:31:12 | |
| That we do engage a. | 00:31:14 | |
| Third party to prepare these statements. | 00:31:17 | |
| So it's almost like another layer of double check. | 00:31:19 | |
| OK. Thank you, Marian. Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:31:24 | |
| I have no questions, Supervisor Klein. | 00:31:27 | |
| Maren when When you bring it, I understand how you bring in a third party. | 00:31:31 | |
| And so I. | 00:31:34 | |
| Let's say that's a bad idea, but. | 00:31:36 | |
| Are are they? Do they? | 00:31:38 | |
| I'm sure they don't find a whole lot that you ladies miss. | 00:31:42 | |
| Or whatever. I mean, it seems to me like you guys would have. | 00:31:44 | |
| Have a total handle on that, but. | 00:31:48 | |
| What they really provide us this strength and capacity to do. | 00:31:51 | |
| Is to combine. | 00:31:55 | |
| Multiple financial. | 00:31:57 | |
| Datasets into one set of financial statements. | 00:31:59 | |
| For example. | 00:32:02 | |
| I don't have access to. | 00:32:04 | |
| The school Superintendent system. I don't have access to the treasurer system. | 00:32:06 | |
| Those are intentional separations. | 00:32:10 | |
| For audit purposes. | 00:32:13 | |
| It reduces the risks of. | 00:32:15 | |
| Collusion and fraud. It reduces our opportunities. | 00:32:17 | |
| Misuse of. | 00:32:21 | |
| Phones by having a third party. | 00:32:22 | |
| Assemble the financial statements, we are ensured that we are compliant with all. | 00:32:26 | |
| Current. | 00:32:31 | |
| That we implement early. Any upcoming changes? | 00:32:33 | |
| And that when we when we present data to the Auditor General's office. | 00:32:37 | |
| That it is. | 00:32:43 | |
| At the highest possible caliber. | 00:32:45 | |
| And it's been a really good collaboration since 2021. | 00:32:48 | |
| Good. Thank you, man. | 00:32:52 | |
| Yeah. Thank you. That's a good answer. | 00:32:54 | |
| Heard by law. | 00:32:56 | |
| That we do this. | 00:32:58 | |
| We are required to provide our financial statements. | 00:32:59 | |
| It is not required that we use a third party. | 00:33:02 | |
| OK, so you think it's a bargain? | 00:33:05 | |
| To pay these people to help with that. | 00:33:07 | |
| It is less costly than having an additional stock movement. | 00:33:10 | |
| Yes, OK. | 00:33:13 | |
| Thank you very much. Yeah. | 00:33:15 | |
| And we've been doing this since 2020 with this firm since 2021 prior to Heinfeld Meech. | 00:33:16 | |
| We contracted with Rita Sato. | 00:33:22 | |
| Who was a former Auditor General team member? | 00:33:25 | |
| Her cost point was just about the same as this. | 00:33:29 | |
| And that. | 00:33:33 | |
| Predates my time here. I don't know. | 00:33:35 | |
| Does it predate your time here, Mr. Memo, that they were using Rita? | 00:33:38 | |
| Wasabrida, our edition. | 00:33:41 | |
| OK. So it's a customary practice? | 00:33:44 | |
| It's customary growth. | 00:33:46 | |
| OK. Thank you. With that, I'll call for a motion. | 00:33:47 | |

| Good morning, Joshua back. | 00:36:33 | |
| Good morning, Chairman, Supervisors, and 1st thank you to Marion and Charlotte for moving this item up. | 00:36:35 | |
| Actually just received this IGA. | 00:36:41 | |
| This is a rotating pot of money that goes between Apache Junction, Pinell County and us. | 00:36:43 | |
| And kind of fortunate that this was our year to receive the larger pot of money. | 00:36:49 | |
| Because this is one of those ones that's only for seniors, but outside of that, there's very few restrictions. | 00:36:53 | |
| So like the flood recovery? | 00:36:58 | |
| I know school resident Humphreys called us before with a downed tree in a seniors yard that had hit their house that they didn't | 00:37:00 | |
| have money to remove this. | 00:37:03 | |
| This is one of those ones where we really have flexibility to go in and do things that. | 00:37:06 | |
| We don't have with some of the other grants and fundings that we have. So it's. | 00:37:11 | |
| This is really good one to have right now, given all the problems we're going to face with the cleanup from the flood, so. | 00:37:14 | |
| We've got this to you as quick as you could. Thank you ladies and. | 00:37:19 | |
| Negative hammer. | 00:37:23 | |
| Thank you, Joshua Supervisor. | 00:37:25 | |
| No question, just thank you for all the grunts that you were able to. | 00:37:27 | |
| Juggle for our constituents because I. | 00:37:31 | |
| It gets pretty tricky sometimes on what you can spend where, so thank you very, very much for all you. | 00:37:35 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:37:42 | |
| Thank you, Josh. | 00:37:43 | |
| Yeah. Thank you, Josh. I'll call for a motion. | 00:37:44 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve contract numbers. | 00:37:46 | |
| 025-0444 and amendment #1. | 00:37:50 | |
| You said contract between the. | 00:37:55 | |
| The now HeLa Council for Senior Citizens area agency. | 00:37:57 | |
| On aging region 5. | 00:38:02 | |
| And Gila County Public Health and Community Services Department has presented. | 00:38:04 | |
| I'll second that, Mr. Chair. | 00:38:10 | |
| We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. | 00:38:11 | |
| Joshua, we have 4M information, discussion, action to approve amendment #1. | 00:38:16 | |
| The funding agreement #224-23 between. | 00:38:21 | |
| Arizona Department of Housing, County, Public Health and Community Services Department. | 00:38:24 | |
| Housing Services to provide Department of Energy weatherization. | 00:38:29 | |
| Assistant program Bipartisan infrastructure law. | 00:38:32 | |
| Funding the amount of $190,994. | 00:38:36 | |
| Which will be used to provide weatherization services. | 00:38:40 | |
| To 17 eligible households. | 00:38:44 | |
| In Gila County and extend the contract expiration date to June 30. | 00:38:47 | |
| 2029. | 00:38:51 | |
| Joshua, thank you, Chairman. | 00:38:53 | |
| So this is the. | 00:38:54 | |
| Mentioned before to the board, I have lots of lots of money to make up our weatherization funding. This is probably the largest 1 | 00:38:56 | |
| coming from the Department of Energy. | 00:39:00 | |
| So this one really focuses on the improvements to the efficiency of people's homes. | 00:39:03 | |
| I will still save the dinner that we have for This is the Arizona. | 00:39:08 | |
| Advantage home builders. | 00:39:13 | |
| Out of Chandler. | 00:39:14 | |
| I have not moved yet, that contract is got a little bit longer on. | 00:39:16 | |
| Left. If you remember we swapped community services managers. | 00:39:20 | |
| A few months ago so I have a new manager that's in there again that got hired last month. | 00:39:23 | |
| So at this time, really. | 00:39:28 | |
| I'm waiting for two things. One, for that manager to get a little bit more experience before I go back out to bid. | 00:39:30 | |
| And two, I still haven't had another contractor yet actually go to the state and take the one week. | 00:39:35 | |
| Weatherization program course to get certified which is. | 00:39:40 | |
| We kind of feel like that's the one big step that we need to have someone do. | 00:39:44 | |
| To show us that they're really interested enough in doing this program. | 00:39:47 | |
| Whether they're local or not, to show us that they're interested enough in doing the program to go out to bid again, so. | 00:39:51 | |
| For those questions coming up, that's really what I've been waiting for before I go back up to this, to have someone come and | 00:39:56 | |
| really show that. | 00:39:59 | |
| They have that effort that they really want to do this, but. | 00:40:02 | |
| I will say still in the larger projects, we do use advantage from builders, but a lot of the projects like if it's air | 00:40:04 | |
| conditioning units or if they're just bringing in new appliances or some of the smaller projects, we do still use like kind of | 00:40:09 | |
| like local electricians for those kind of projects they use. | 00:40:13 | |
| HVAC stuff they use, it's usually the larger. | 00:40:18 | |
| Home repairs where we need the fingerprint clearance cards, the full company, the walk trading and everything. | 00:40:20 | |
| So, but yeah. | 00:40:25 | |
| That's what this funding's for and and this is just one of the possibilities that we'll be bringing back to the board soon. | 00:40:27 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:40:33 | |
| Yeah, and and. | 00:40:34 | |
| That's a. That's a state issue. | 00:40:36 | |
| Because they still have to be BPI certified and then not only that, then everybody on your crew has to. | 00:40:38 | |
| Have to, you know, background checks and all this stuff so that. | 00:40:43 | |
| They're making it extremely difficult for. | 00:40:47 | |
| Someone to perform this work? | 00:40:49 | |
| Within the state of Arizona, which? | 00:40:52 | |
| I would like very much for them to be. | 00:40:55 | |
| A little looser on that because there's a lot of good people out there. | 00:40:57 | |
| That could be BPI certified. | 00:41:00 | |
| But then when you get into background checks and things like that. | 00:41:03 | |
| You know. | 00:41:06 | |
| Being sure that everybody on the. | 00:41:07 | |
| Is sometimes difficult, so I I thank you very much for continuing to crop to. | 00:41:08 | |
| Keep trying to. | 00:41:14 | |
| Help us all that we can, but I think. | 00:41:16 | |
| Help us a little bit too, so that we could better spend some of their funds. | 00:41:20 | |
| Thank you, Professor Klein. | 00:41:25 | |
| Josh, when it comes to like the 17 eligible households? | 00:41:28 | |
| How do you this? | 00:41:32 | |
| Pick those. | 00:41:33 | |
| Is it just? | 00:41:34 | |
| Wait list. | 00:41:36 | |
| Wait. | 00:41:37 | |
| So who didn't make it last year is up this year or whatever? | 00:41:39 | |
| OK. That's good to know. Thank you. | 00:41:42 | |
| And in this to answer that for this part of why the Finnell Hila money. | 00:41:44 | |
| Nice, because when emergencies happen. | 00:41:49 | |
| The same team to do this in the rental assistance and those things. | 00:41:52 | |
| That's a pile of money where we can. | 00:41:56 | |
| Deal with emergency situations and. | 00:41:57 | |
| Up the wait list. | 00:42:00 | |
| For some of them might lose their housing. | 00:42:01 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:42:03 | |
| I have no questions. I'll call for a motion. | 00:42:05 | |
| Vice Chair, I move to approve amendment #1. | 00:42:08 | |
| To funding agreement #224-23. | 00:42:12 | |
| Between the Arizona Department of Housing. | 00:42:16 | |
| And the healer. | 00:42:18 | |
| County public health and community service department. | 00:42:20 | |
| Housing Services as presented. | 00:42:23 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 00:42:25 | |
| Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. | 00:42:27 | |
| Aye, aye, aye. | 00:42:30 | |
| Again, Joshua, we have. | 00:42:32 | |
| OR and information Discussion. Action approved. Memorandum of understanding. | 00:42:34 | |
| From the 26-0. | 00:42:38 | |
| Between the Hill County Community Action Program. | 00:42:41 | |
| And Arizona Community Action Association doing business as. | 00:42:43 | |
| Wildfire, whereby wildfire will. | 00:42:47 | |
| Provide cap. | 00:42:51 | |
| And administrative fee up to. | 00:42:52 | |
| $25,000 per cap to continue. | 00:42:54 | |
| Provide diapers and supplies to eligible. | 00:42:57 | |
| Hewlett County families. | 00:43:00 | |
| From September 30, 2025 through September 29. | 00:43:02 | |
| 2026. | 00:43:06 | |
| Thank you, Chairman. | 00:43:08 | |
| So I think if everybody in this room knows, I'm never afraid to ask for additional funds, so. | 00:43:09 | |
| Back in September, the board approved the diaper program for this year. | 00:43:13 | |
| That is, we've made it past September and some of our partners like adult education. | 00:43:18 | |
| And the WIOA Eastern region workforce. | 00:43:22 | |
| Haven't been paying us as much of the money for the rent for the one stop shop as we used to have. | 00:43:26 | |
| So we're a little low on funds to run that front desk position, which helps us with the diaper program. | 00:43:31 | |
| So I made sure the state knew that the only way I could. | 00:43:36 | |
| Continue to run the diaper program this year that they could just give us some straight administrative funding. | 00:43:38 | |
| To keep the program going. | 00:43:42 | |
| And they agreed in this. | 00:43:44 | |
| Simply what this funds are is. | 00:43:45 | |
| Of the administrative funds that go into that account that pay for our front desk person. | 00:43:47 | |
| Which keeps them staffed and allows us to keep providing the diapers to the. | 00:43:51 | |
| 50 some families that we provide them to. | 00:43:54 | |
| Cool. OK. Thanks, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:43:57 | |
| No questions. | 00:44:00 | |
| Supervisor Klein, I'm good. | 00:44:01 | |

| And $0.21 Mr. Beck. | 00:44:58 | |
| Thank you, Chairman. So BMS Cat got into this project. It's one of the larger projects we've ever done for weatherization. They | 00:45:00 | |
| found some. | 00:45:04 | |
| Lead based paint issues, some structural issues, and some additional roofing issues. | 00:45:08 | |
| That they came across once they actually, you know, got into the house and started doing the digging. | 00:45:12 | |
| So we're we've exceeded that amount that they had on the original bid. | 00:45:16 | |
| I have a lot of details I'm going to see in the original bid on this and you can see, you know, it's definitely new stuff it. | 00:45:21 | |

| Mr. White. | 00:48:42 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Board. | 00:48:44 | |
| We use. | 00:48:46 | |
| This firm a lot for a lot of different things that we do with the landfill. This specific increase deals with specifically with | 00:48:47 | |
| the Buckhead Mason landfill. | 00:48:51 | |
| As you know, we're looking at expanding the Bucket Mesa landfill over in Payson. | 00:48:56 | |
| This specific change order is to allow these guys to do some work that's required in order to move forward with that expansion. | 00:49:01 | |
| Specifically, what they're going to be doing is they're going to do in. | 00:49:06 | |
| Be doing some. | 00:49:12 | |
| Boring examples for the soil to test the soil. | 00:49:13 | |
| And to be doing some soil pits. | 00:49:16 | |
| All related to find out. | 00:49:19 | |
| You know where the bedrock is, how far we can go down, and if the soil is even suitable for the landfill. | 00:49:21 | |
| Which we believe it is, but it's something we're required to go through. | 00:49:27 | |
| With 80 Q before we can submit for. | 00:49:30 | |
| For permits so this. | 00:49:33 | |
| Contract is just asking to extend it just a loan or $50,000 to allow them to do that work. So we'll continue to move forward with | 00:49:36 | |
| that project. | 00:49:40 | |
| And just as a note. | 00:49:44 | |
| We are putting together a pretty big update for this board regarding Buckeye Mesa. | 00:49:46 | |
| It's probably going to be coming sometime in November. | 00:49:52 | |
| Time frame just to update the board on where we're at, what we're doing, how that. | 00:49:56 | |
| How that's progressing? | 00:50:00 | |
| And some ideas that we have. | 00:50:02 | |
| That we might want to shift out there and talk to the board about South. A work study session will be coming up. | 00:50:05 | |
| For a formal complete update on that. | 00:50:10 | |
| However, in order to provide that update. | 00:50:13 | |
| We need the analysis of what they're doing out there with the soils and how far the. | 00:50:15 | |
| Bedrock is and everything before we can really come forward and give you the. | 00:50:21 | |
| The update that we need to give you guys, so that's forthcoming here very shortly. | 00:50:25 | |
| OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:50:29 | |
| Yeah. And and at some point in time, could we also do that with the the Russell Goldstein field? | 00:50:32 | |
| Absolutely. | 00:50:38 | |
| OK, no further questions. Mr. | 00:50:38 | |
| OK. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. | 00:50:41 | |
| Yeah, if we can do that, I'm good. Thank you, Troy. | 00:50:43 | |
| OK, Thank you. And with that I'll. | 00:50:46 | |
| Promotion. Mr. Chair, I move to approve amendment #4 to. | 00:50:48 | |
| Professional services contract number. | 00:50:51 | |
| 072622. | 00:50:53 | |
| With Stephen B Smith as presented. | 00:50:56 | |
| I'll second them. | 00:50:59 | |
| Chair motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. | 00:51:00 | |
| Aye, aye. | 00:51:03 | |
| Thank you. Now we have item 4, our information discussion action. | 00:51:05 | |
| To adopt resolution number 25. | 00:51:10 | |
| Dash 10-01. | 00:51:12 | |
| For the installation of regulatory yield. | 00:51:14 | |
| At the intersection of South. | 00:51:18 | |
| And E Huntington Center Rd. | 00:51:20 | |
| Located in. | 00:51:23 | |
| Basin and we have with us today Alex Kendrick. | 00:51:25 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. | 00:51:29 | |
| Alex Kendrick. | 00:51:31 | |
| Assistant county engineer. | 00:51:32 | |
| So as you know, under state statutes when it comes to regulatory signs. | 00:51:35 | |
| The requirements are for the engineering department to review it and make a. | 00:51:41 | |
| Proposed proposal to the board and the board has to. | 00:51:45 | |
| Prove it. | 00:51:47 | |
| So we evaluated. | 00:51:48 | |
| South Fork Road and E Franklin Center Rd. | 00:51:50 | |
| In Tunnel Basin and determined that a yield sign was the most appropriate sign for that intersection. And so that is what we are. | 00:51:52 | |
| Closing to the board. | 00:51:59 | |
| Thank you, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:52:00 | |
| Yeah, thank you. It just I just think it's kind of wild that you got to come to the Board of Supervisors for you inside, but but | 00:52:02 | |
| thank you very much. | 00:52:07 | |
| That's state statute for you. | 00:52:11 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Klein. | 00:52:14 | |
| Thank you, Alex. | 00:52:16 | |
| And it's funny how you think of a yield sign as being like the least regulatory sign there is. | 00:52:18 | |
| It's like it's sort of. | 00:52:25 | |
| Anyway, I love it. Thank you for your presentation. | 00:52:27 | |
| But then I'll call for Makuchi. | 00:52:30 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #25. | 00:52:31 | |
| And 01. | 00:52:36 | |
| As presented. | 00:52:38 | |
| I'll second it. | 00:52:39 | |
| Motion the second to approve. Those in favor say aye. | 00:52:40 | |
| Aye. | 00:52:43 | |
| Hi, thank you, Alex. We have another 144 S. | 00:52:44 | |
| Information, discussion, Action to authorize the Chairman of the Board. | 00:52:48 | |
| To sign the cancellation of agreement letter from the Arizona Department of Transportation. | 00:52:51 | |
| Patient thereby canceling IGA number. | 00:52:55 | |
| IGA 24-0009581. | 00:53:00 | |
| Dash I under Section 3. | 00:53:04 | |
| Item 4. | 00:53:06 | |
| Cancellation, uh. | 00:53:07 | |
| Become effective. | 00:53:08 | |
| Once both parties have signed. | 00:53:10 | |
| Alex. | 00:53:12 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair and Board. | 00:53:14 | |
| So I brought this. | 00:53:16 | |
| Before you guys back in April, but at the time I did not realize that a dot required a signed cancellation letter. | 00:53:17 | |
| So when it came to the Golden Hills Sidewalk Improvement project. | 00:53:22 | |
| It kept adding additional costs when they evaluated the engineering. | 00:53:27 | |
| Plans as developed and we realized that. | 00:53:32 | |
| That wasn't feasible for us to actually move forward with that. | 00:53:35 | |
| Under the TA grant SO. | 00:53:38 | |
| Back in April I brought this but. | 00:53:40 | |
| Before you said saying that we will apply for next year's TA grants to get that cost back into a reasonable level. | 00:53:42 | |
| And that is still engineering's plan. However, this is the paperwork. | 00:53:47 | |
| From the ADOT side of things to make sure that the. | 00:53:51 | |
| Original project is cancelled. | 00:53:54 | |
| OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphries. | 00:53:56 | |
| Yeah. Thank you very much. We've discussed this earlier on. | 00:53:59 | |
| You know it would be a better better move to just. | 00:54:02 | |
| Walk away and then come back and reapply so. | 00:54:05 | |
| Thank you very much for being smart on that. | 00:54:08 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Clooney. | 00:54:10 | |
| Thanks, Alex. Thank you, Alex. It's just largely a clerical. | 00:54:13 | |
| Thing so let's. | 00:54:16 | |
| Call promotion on this item. | 00:54:18 | |
| I move to authorize the chairman of the board to sign the cancellation. | 00:54:21 | |
| Of agreement letter. | 00:54:26 | |
| From the Arizona Department of Transportation nearby canceling IGA number. | 00:54:27 | |
| IGA 24-0009581. | 00:54:32 | |
| I as presented. | 00:54:37 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 00:54:40 | |
| We have a motion and a second. | 00:54:42 | |
| To approve those in favor say aye. | 00:54:44 | |
| Aye. | 00:54:46 | |
| That's the next one. | 00:54:48 | |
| Under Item 14. | 00:54:49 | |
| Information, discussion, action. | 00:54:51 | |
| To approve amendment #3 to contract. | 00:54:53 | |
| Agreement number AD. | 00:54:56 | |
| OA CT. | 00:54:58 | |
| 058876. | 00:55:00 | |
| The Forest Service Highway. | 00:55:03 | |
| Of 512 environmental documents and clearances. | 00:55:05 | |
| With Kimberly Horn and associates extending. | 00:55:09 | |
| The contract end date to February 7th. | 00:55:12 | |
| 2026. | 00:55:15 | |
| Alex can. | 00:55:16 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair and Board. | 00:55:18 | |
| So last meeting I brought before you the Forest Service agreements. | 00:55:20 | |
| Between the county and Forest Service for the 512 EA. | 00:55:23 | |
| This is the extension. This is the Kelly Horn. | 00:55:26 | |
| Agreement between Hilo County and. | 00:55:30 | |
| Reporting for the extension. | 00:55:32 | |
| With this. | 00:55:34 | |
| Extension Umm. | 00:55:35 | |
| This is set up so that's. | 00:55:36 | |
| We will make sure there would be no more extensions coming. | 00:55:38 | |
| For the board. | 00:55:40 | |
| They will get the EA done. | 00:55:42 | |
| In order to. | 00:55:44 | |
| Progress from the 60% to the 100%. | 00:55:45 | |
| Through the SMART grant program that we had applied for and got awarded. | 00:55:48 | |
| So this is. | 00:55:52 | |
| Making sure that. | 00:55:53 | |
| Family Horns paperwork is all in order as we move forward to get the design for the 512 done. | 00:55:54 | |
| So you could answer any questions. All right, Supervisor Humphrey, I have no question. | 00:56:01 | |
| Supervisor Klein. I'm good, Alex. Thank you. | 00:56:05 | |
| Yeah. So, Alex, this doesn't come. | 00:56:08 | |
| We, the surveyor studies or. | 00:56:10 | |
| All that it's it's just. | 00:56:13 | |
| Making sure it's all. | 00:56:15 | |
| Paid for properly. | 00:56:17 | |
| Yes, and the environmental? | 00:56:18 | |
| Assessment needs to be completed by the end of this contract and that is the agreement we have with them. | 00:56:20 | |
| OK. And this is like the 400 and some 1000? | 00:56:24 | |
| Money we got from Senator. | 00:56:28 | |
| Kelly No. | 00:56:32 | |
| I'm not aware of that. I don't think so. | 00:56:34 | |
| This is to do the study. | 00:56:38 | |
| I thought for the 512 Rd. | 00:56:39 | |
| The environmental assessment. | 00:56:41 | |
| OK, I don't. | 00:56:43 | |
| I believe we were paying for that. OK, well. | 00:56:45 | |
| I haven't slept for like 2 minutes so. | 00:56:47 | |
| Mr. Chairman, this is a smart grant from the State of Arizona. | 00:56:52 | |
| Oh, OK. All right. | 00:56:55 | |
| Thank you for clarifying that. And with that, I will call for a motion. | 00:56:58 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment number. | 00:57:02 | |
| Free to contract agreement number ADOA. | 00:57:04 | |
| Ctr. 058876 with Kimberly Horner. | 00:57:09 | |
| Associates as presented. | 00:57:13 | |
| I'll second that. | 00:57:16 | |
| We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. | 00:57:17 | |
| I next time is for you information discussion actually approve amendment #4. | 00:57:21 | |
| The contract number Ctr. 058876. | 00:57:27 | |
| The Houston Mesa Rd. Safety improvement. | 00:57:30 | |
| Cultural Resources. | 00:57:33 | |
| With Kenley Horn and associates incorporated increasing. | 00:57:34 | |
| Contract amount by 19,934 dollars. | 00:57:38 | |
| To a new contract amount not to exceed. | 00:57:41 | |
| $62,744. | 00:57:44 | |
| And we still have Alex with us. | 00:57:47 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair and Ford. | 00:57:49 | |
| So as you know, the East Mesa Rd. project was HSIP grant that we had received. | 00:57:51 | |
| Once we receive those grants, the county can no longer administer. | 00:57:57 | |
| And so a dot ends up administrating. | 00:58:01 | |
| At this point the project is done. | 00:58:04 | |
| That's towards the end of the project, there was a timing issue and so the cultural. | 00:58:07 | |
| Monitoring uh. | 00:58:13 | |
| Contract needed to be amended. | 00:58:14 | |
| And so it not approved this cost increase with that. | 00:58:15 | |
| And we were kind of. | 00:58:18 | |
| Forced to accept that as they were our administrators. | 00:58:20 | |
| So it does still fall within total. | 00:58:24 | |
| Project cost however this is. | 00:58:26 | |
| US fronting this part of the cost. | 00:58:29 | |
| OK, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:58:32 | |
| Yeah, it just seems like the state keeps allowing some of these contracts. | 00:58:34 | |
| To reach further than they. | 00:58:37 | |
| Originally had in the. | 00:58:40 | |
| Not much we can do about it other than. | 00:58:41 | |
| Say, OK, so. | 00:58:43 | |
| Yeah, it it it just something that seems to be occurring more and more often on some of the projects. | 00:58:45 | |
| With with us so. | 00:58:51 | |
| Thank you. | 00:58:53 | |
| Supervisor Klein, thank you, Alex. | 00:58:55 | |
| Thank you, Alex. I'll call for motion. | 00:58:58 | |
| Mr. I move to approve amendment #4 to contract number Ctr. 05. | 00:59:00 | |
| 8876 with Kimley horns. | 00:59:05 | |
| And Associates Incorporated is presented. | 00:59:07 | |
| And I'll second that. | 00:59:12 | |
| Motion and a second to approve. Those in favour say aye. | 00:59:13 | |
| Aye, aye. | 00:59:16 | |
| Item 4V. | 00:59:18 | |
| Information, discussion, action. | 00:59:20 | |
| To authorize the advertisement of request. | 00:59:22 | |
| Total number is 06102025. | 00:59:24 | |
| The scrap metal recycling services for the collection. | 00:59:29 | |
| And recycling the scrap metal. | 00:59:32 | |
| From both of the counties. | 00:59:34 | |
| Landfills. | 00:59:36 | |
| Back with us, we have Mr. Troy White. | 00:59:37 | |
| Thank you, Chairman and Board. | 00:59:40 | |
| If you've been outside the landfills, you know that this is much needed, so we're trying to get this RFP out to. | 00:59:42 | |
| Out on the streets. | 00:59:49 | |
| So that we can start dealing with the scrap metal that we have on both landfills. | 00:59:51 | |
| Officially, as in February. | 00:59:56 | |
| We. | 00:59:59 | |
| We stopped working with the previous person that we were working with on on scrap metal and. | 01:00:01 | |
| Move forward to get this out to bid so to get a new person on board and. | 01:00:07 | |
| It's stacking up on us and we want to get this out as soon as possible and. | 01:00:11 | |
| Get a contractor selected and get that. | 01:00:15 | |
| Recycling back up and running again. | 01:00:18 | |
| Thank you for that supervisor. | 01:00:20 | |
| Yeah, the previous company that you had. | 01:00:23 | |
| You decided to quit doing. | 01:00:25 | |
| How long have they been? | 01:00:27 | |
| Doing our scrap metal. | 01:00:28 | |
| You know, I'm not sure. I know it was over at least a year. It may have been longer and I have to check with Aaron on that and get | 01:00:31 | |
| back to you, but I know it was for at least about a year. | 01:00:35 | |
| Yeah. | 01:00:39 | |
| Because it seemed like. | 01:00:41 | |
| Prior to that, we didn't have. | 01:00:42 | |
| An issue. | 01:00:43 | |
| With our scrap metal and so it, you know, I was just wondering why we changed it if it's only been a year, the people prior. | 01:00:44 | |
| To the left when Mike. | 01:00:51 | |
| Might be beneficial. | 01:00:53 | |
| Yeah, I mean we, I mean we just stopped getting. | 01:00:54 | |
| You know, umm. | 01:00:57 | |
| They were saying there was no money in the in the recycling, so they're coming up picking it, not sending us a check back for it. | 01:01:00 | |
| And it's like. | 01:01:03 | |
| You know, through our. | 01:01:06 | |
| You know, uh. | 01:01:08 | |
| Are looking into it as they know there's still some value in the in the metal recycling so. | 01:01:09 | |
| We figured it'd be better to to end that relationship with them and put this out to bid where? | 01:01:13 | |
| You know, things can be more formal and my understanding is that that there wasn't a formal agreement in place. | 01:01:18 | |
| The previous person that was holding it. | 01:01:24 | |
| And with this one, there's going to be a formal agreement. | 01:01:26 | |
| In place to ensure that. | 01:01:30 | |
| And that was under another landfill manager. | 01:01:31 | |
| Correct. And I'm surprised that we said, OK, yeah, we realize it's not worth anything. | 01:01:33 | |
| I hope. I hope it goes better in the future. | 01:01:38 | |
| They will. | 01:01:42 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 01:01:43 | |
| Can't go any worse. | 01:01:45 | |
| So Troy, you know, one thing I've wondered though, you know, we put this out and I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Get somebody | 01:01:47 | |
| lined up to take. | 01:01:50 | |
| Scrap metal, but. | 01:01:54 | |
| Is there a reason why we haven't loaded on our trucks and send it once or every? | 01:01:55 | |
| Couple weeks, a month or whatever to Phoenix and. | 01:01:59 | |
| Build up money, Come on. | 01:02:01 | |
| Yeah, it's just staffing issues there's. We just don't have the staffing to do that. Our landfill is running very slow right now | 01:02:03 | |
| as it is and we're constantly struggling to. | 01:02:07 | |
| Even just fill the day positions. | 01:02:11 | |
| Just to keep. | 01:02:14 | |
| Control of the regular trash so. | 01:02:15 | |
| You know, if we were to do that, we'd have to go out. | 01:02:18 | |
| Actually hire a position to do that and. | 01:02:21 | |
| And holla and then the risk and the liability that comes with that and Holland it I don't know if the end. | 01:02:23 | |
| That that would really pay off versus just letting somebody take it and then us making. | 01:02:28 | |
| A profit off of what they're doing. | 01:02:33 | |
| There's a lot more involved than just throwing it in the back of the truck and then taking it down to the valley. And then there's | 01:02:36 | |
| regulations, there's. | 01:02:39 | |
| All kinds of. | 01:02:42 | |
| Things that go with it. Not that we couldn't. | 01:02:43 | |
| Something that we can look into. | 01:02:45 | |
| As a, you know, just as a comparison, but. | 01:02:47 | |
| It's pretty complicated process and. | 01:02:50 | |
| I don't think it would work out any. | 01:02:53 | |
| Any cheaper for us or that we'd make any more money on it? But we can certainly run. | 01:02:55 | |
| I don't think it'd workout any cheap or anything like that, so don't get me wrong there, but with what we do between the landfill | 01:03:01 | |
| and the road department. | 01:03:05 | |
| Seems to me like we could have a truck driver when needed to take a load to the valley just to get it out of our way and get it | 01:03:09 | |
| out of here. | 01:03:12 | |
| You know what I'm saying? | 01:03:16 | |
| I don't know how, I don't know. I don't really don't even know what you'll. | 01:03:17 | |
| Find as far as somebody wanting to do it. | 01:03:20 | |
| So, yeah, I mean, if, if we don't find somebody to do it, then we're going to have to look at that alternative. But I know, I | 01:03:22 | |
| mean, we've got. | 01:03:26 | |
| We've got the right amount of work for the right amount of staff right now. I mean, everybody's very busy and taking on one more | 01:03:29 | |
| thing. I mean, that's a. | 01:03:33 | |
| To how the amount of recycling, metal recycling that we get, that'd be a pretty consistent. | 01:03:36 | |
| Basis to do that. | 01:03:41 | |
| To keep it in a controllable method. So you're just. | 01:03:42 | |
| Stuff we can look into depending on the results so that we get here but. | 01:03:46 | |
| If we can get a company to handle this and manage it for us, I think that's probably. | 01:03:50 | |
| Way to go. And so usually the way that goes is they come in and pick up our metal. | 01:03:54 | |
| Give us so much, a ton, they take whatever. | 01:03:59 | |
| They make off those after that. | 01:04:01 | |
| Yeah, they have to they. | 01:04:03 | |
| They'll have to verify the way that finance set this contract up is they'll have to verify what they're getting per ton so that. | 01:04:05 | |
| And they have to agree to what they're paying for time. | 01:04:10 | |
| So it's all written out very plain exactly how the process is going to work at ways when it leaves and. | 01:04:13 | |
| We want to see their tickets when they get down to the Valley and. | 01:04:19 | |
| It's very straightforward and upfront. So when a contract like this is put in place, is that on a set amount for the full year? | 01:04:22 | |
| Or for the life of the contract or did. | 01:04:29 | |
| Does it have the ability to fluctuate up or down as scrap metal? | 01:04:31 | |
| Prices go up or down. | 01:04:35 | |
| Yeah, absolutely. That's generally how I've seen these contract. We've asked for per pound that they're going to give us my. | 01:04:36 | |
| My thought is, is when we get these proposals in, they're going to say it's going to be. | 01:04:42 | |
| A cost plus so because the. | 01:04:47 | |
| The recycling market fluctuates so much. | 01:04:49 | |
| Usually what they'll say is that. | 01:04:52 | |
| We're getting X amount of percentage. | 01:04:54 | |
| Of what it is depending on what the rate is going at that time because it. | 01:04:56 | |
| It can. It can jump from day-to-day. | 01:05:00 | |
| And it's a very good point that you bring up because with all the. | 01:05:02 | |
| You know the current president he is really. | 01:05:06 | |
| Looking at getting the mining operations going back again in the United States and. | 01:05:10 | |
| If we're doing a lot more mining here and the metals are being pulled out of the ground here. | 01:05:14 | |
| You're probably going to be see a pretty significant decrease in the cost of recycling. | 01:05:18 | |
| As time goes by, so you have the contracts going to be made so that it can adjust for those so that. | 01:05:23 | |
| Both the contractor wins and the county win. | 01:05:28 | |
| Thank you. | 01:05:32 | |
| You're welcome. OK. And yeah, and it makes a lot of sense whether we make. | 01:05:33 | |
| A lot of money or not a lot of money or. | 01:05:37 | |
| Break even. | 01:05:39 | |
| It's better than filling our landfills with all of this stuff. | 01:05:40 | |
| Absolutely. Yeah. So it's at least. | 01:05:43 | |
| A worthwhile. | 01:05:46 | |
| Project. So I'm glad you're taking hold of that. | 01:05:48 | |
| Before the next. | 01:05:50 | |
| Public Works Director steps into place. | 01:05:53 | |
| Absolutely. And so that. | 01:05:56 | |
| That person's prepared to. | 01:05:58 | |
| Take over, not catch up. | 01:06:00 | |
| Yeah. | 01:06:01 | |
| OK, very good. So with that I will. | 01:06:03 | |
| Corporal motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of request for proposals. | 01:06:05 | |
| RSP number 06102025. | 01:06:12 | |
| Senate, Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion. Have a second to approve. Those in favor say aye, aye. | 01:06:17 | |
| Aye, Supervisor, hopefully. Do you have a vote? | 01:06:22 | |
| Aye. OK. We have unanimous. I thank you. | 01:06:28 | |
| And item 4 W Information discussion action. | 01:06:32 | |
| To approve amendment #1 the contract. | 01:06:37 | |
| Number 06/01. | 01:06:39 | |
| 2:05. | 01:06:41 | |
| Globe Courthouse. | 01:06:43 | |
| Parking lot pavement project with Perkins Tenders incorporated. | 01:06:45 | |
| Increasing the contract amount by. | 01:06:48 | |
| $122,485.40. | 01:06:50 | |
| The new contractor will not succeed. | 01:06:54 | |
| $821,479.81. | 01:06:56 | |
| And we'll have back with us Alex Kendrick. | 01:07:00 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Board of Supervisors. | 01:07:03 | |
| As you know the. | 01:07:06 | |
| Warehouse parking lot project has been ongoing. | 01:07:07 | |
| We put in a 10% contingency plan because we knew that we were going to come across some subgrade issues when we. | 01:07:11 | |
| Got the parking lot up? | 01:07:17 | |
| However, we. | 01:07:19 | |
| Realize even after doing soil analysis the extent of those issues. | 01:07:20 | |
| And so in order to fix those permanently, we needed to use. | 01:07:24 | |
| Geo matte fabric under. | 01:07:29 | |
| Under a subgrade and then repair the subgrade and that. | 01:07:32 | |
| Exceeded our owners contingency. | 01:07:36 | |
| So this is a request to basically. | 01:07:38 | |
| Account for the additional cost that was. | 01:07:41 | |
| Required to make sure that the project got done correctly. | 01:07:43 | |
| And so it will only increase the actual project by $53,585.96. | 01:07:46 | |
| So be more than happy to answer any questions and. | 01:07:53 | |
| As you can see where. | 01:07:56 | |
| Working on the striking now so. | 01:07:58 | |
| Thank you, Alex. Professor Humphrey. | 01:08:00 | |
| I have, I have no question. | 01:08:02 | |
| Thank you. Yeah, Supervisor Klein. | 01:08:04 | |
| Something going to get to Parkland after lunch. | 01:08:06 | |
| We got to let the paint dry. | 01:08:09 | |
| OK. Thank you, Alex. | 01:08:12 | |
| Yeah. Thank you, Alex. So my only question was? | 01:08:14 | |
| I think this was paid for with ARPA money. | 01:08:17 | |
| Initially, uh. | 01:08:20 | |
| Is the extra. | 01:08:21 | |
| Is there anything left for ARPA? | 01:08:22 | |
| I mean, is this what money is this? | 01:08:25 | |
| Extra 50. | 01:08:27 | |
| Some $1000. | 01:08:29 | |
| Still got a little bit left, OK. | 01:08:32 | |
| An answer. | 01:08:36 | |
| With that, I'll call for motion. | 01:08:38 | |
| Mr. I moved to approve Amendment number One to contract number 06012025 as presented. | 01:08:40 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 01:08:48 | |
| Motion and a second to approve. All in favor say aye. | 01:08:50 | |
| Aye. | 01:08:52 | |
| Hi, very good. Thank you, Alex. | 01:08:54 | |
| All right, 4X. | 01:08:59 | |

| HR Mr. Wrist. | 01:09:31 | |
| Husk with us this morning to present. | 01:09:34 | |
| Thank you very much. | 01:09:36 | |
| Chairman and supervisors, I'm here today to. | 01:09:37 | |
| Present on these matters, as you recall, approximately 4 years ago, the county created the office. | 01:09:41 | |
| Indigent legal services to take over. | 01:09:48 | |
| Contracts with. | 01:09:51 | |
| Private council to. | 01:09:52 | |
| Represent indigent clients. | 01:09:53 | |
| For the Superior Court. | 01:09:55 | |
| And Justice Court. | 01:09:57 | |
| On matters involving all the all the things that are. | 01:10:00 | |
| For you today, there are several contracts, several attorneys that do call a felony and other matters. | 01:10:02 | |
| For these, including juveniles. | 01:10:08 | |
| So I'm here today to just answer any questions you may have. | 01:10:11 | |
| Miss Montgomery has been doing this for the courts prior to doing it for. | 01:10:16 | |
| Services Department. | 01:10:21 | |
| And does a good job for us, so it has support. | 01:10:22 | |
| Or ask the boy to prove this. | 01:10:25 | |
| Thank you if you have any questions for them. | 01:10:27 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. | 01:10:29 | |
| Yeah. Is this a replacement position? | 01:10:32 | |
| It is not. It's a, it's a renewal on a yearly basis. Oh, OK. Thank you. | 01:10:34 | |
| No quick, no further questions. | 01:10:38 | |
| I'm good. Thank you, Rick. | 01:10:41 | |
| Thank you. | 01:10:42 | |
| I just have a couple of questions because you have about 5 in a row here. | 01:10:44 | |
| That are similar looking to me. | 01:10:48 | |
| Yes, so are these. | 01:10:49 | |
| These are not new positions. | 01:10:51 | |
| And I'm curious as to why. | 01:10:54 | |
| The court is not here presenting for that. | 01:10:56 | |
| Is this? | 01:11:00 | |
| Court employee A court. | 01:11:02 | |
| Cost. Is it funded by the courts? | 01:11:03 | |
| It is funded by the county whether it goes through the corridor or. | 01:11:06 | |
| This indigent services department and the reason that. | 01:11:12 | |
| The department was created. | 01:11:16 | |
| To do these contracts as previously. | 01:11:17 | |
| If they were overseen by the court. | 01:11:20 | |
| It's been viewed that there's a bit of a conflict for the. | 01:11:23 | |
| Through your court and the. | 01:11:27 | |
| Presiding judge to oversee contracts. | 01:11:29 | |
| Attorneys that appear before them. | 01:11:31 | |
| That would. | 01:11:33 | |
| Be similar to. | 01:11:34 | |
| The court overseeing the prosecution. | 01:11:35 | |
| Sometimes they they appear to. | 01:11:38 | |
| As a defense counsel. | 01:11:39 | |
| So they might be contested matters and for the courts to oversee that would be. | 01:11:41 | |
| Somewhat of a conflict. | 01:11:45 | |
| In cases not that they haven't. | 01:11:47 | |
| Done that. Not that they don't do that in other counties, but. | 01:11:49 | |
| Gila County has determined the possibility of taking this on. | 01:11:52 | |
| We contract with. | 01:11:56 | |
| Private attorneys. | 01:11:58 | |
| They come and go. They're supposed to give us a month notice if they are to. | 01:12:00 | |
| Rescind their contract or terminate their contract. | 01:12:05 | |
| Other times we oversee that and we have the. | 01:12:08 | |
| Ability to. | 01:12:11 | |
| Get rid of contract attorneys as well if they're not doing their job. So we're a little more. | 01:12:13 | |
| I think. | 01:12:18 | |
| We take a little more action in getting rid of attorneys that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing, is in, in my | 01:12:20 | |
| opinion. | 01:12:23 | |
| Because we don't. | 01:12:27 | |
| Have a conflict. | 01:12:29 | |
| That the courts might have. | 01:12:30 | |
| OK, OK. | 01:12:32 | |
| So we have several, I'm not sure the total. | 01:12:33 | |
| But we have for instance 9. | 01:12:37 | |
| Contracted attorneys that. | 01:12:39 | |
| Are paid 78,000 a year to simply do. | 01:12:41 | |
| Criminal defense work. | 01:12:44 | |
| We have others that do JP port. | 01:12:45 | |
| Defense work both here and. | 01:12:47 | |
| In Payson. | 01:12:49 | |
| And we have. | 01:12:51 | |
| Dependency contracts and. | 01:12:53 | |
| Again, juvenile. | 01:12:56 | |
| Delinquency attorneys that do. | 01:12:57 | |
| Working for juvenile. | 01:12:59 | |
| Delinquency cases when they're. | 01:13:01 | |
| Again indigent. | 01:13:02 | |
| OK, OK. | 01:13:05 | |
| Mr. Menlove, you had a comment. | 01:13:06 | |
| Now, Mr. Chairman, I should have explained beforehand that. | 01:13:08 | |
| Mr. Huskins. | 01:13:11 | |
| Fulfilling 2 full time positions for the counties. | 01:13:12 | |
| As HR director and then. | 01:13:15 | |
| We have a full time position as. | 01:13:17 | |
| The legal defender or public defender coordinator. | 01:13:20 | |
| In the past we have, well we do have a position authorized that's. | 01:13:24 | |
| In this that as an attorney. | 01:13:28 | |
| That fulfills this position we've been. | 01:13:31 | |
| Has a real difficult time getting that position filled. | 01:13:33 | |
| And so Mr. Husk has taken over that responsibility. | 01:13:36 | |
| And this is just to coordinate. | 01:13:39 | |
| Public defenders or those that. | 01:13:41 | |
| Have been determined they go to the court that they do not have funds. | 01:13:43 | |
| To pay for their own defense. | 01:13:47 | |
| So I public defender, one of these contract attorneys. | 01:13:49 | |
| Will represent them in the court. | 01:13:53 | |
| So they are not employees of the county. | 01:13:56 | |
| They are simply contract professional services. | 01:13:58 | |
| Contracts. | 01:14:01 | |
| That we have that. | 01:14:02 | |
| Mr. Husk is asking for the board to approve today. | 01:14:03 | |
| And these contracts have existed in the past. | 01:14:06 | |
| These are more or less renewals. | 01:14:10 | |
| Yes, they existed for. | 01:14:12 | |
| As long as the county's been exist in existence, we're required by state law. | 01:14:14 | |
| And the question was asked, does the general fund pay for this? | 01:14:19 | |
| The General Fund pays for nearly all of the. | 01:14:22 | |
| Court costs, right? | 01:14:25 | |
| And the only thing that they're paid, that the state pays for is a little bit of our justice of peace salaries. | 01:14:27 | |
| And half of our. | 01:14:33 | |
| Superior Court judge salaries. | 01:14:34 | |
| Kind of pays for all the rest of the court. | 01:14:37 | |
| Costs OK. | 01:14:39 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, that opened another question for me. | 01:14:42 | |
| You see that Mister Husk is taking it has two positions, full-time positions right now. | 01:14:46 | |
| And he's head of HR is that position. | 01:14:50 | |
| Of one that we are advertising to be filled. | 01:14:53 | |
| Yes, it is. OK. I was wondering, I said that's great volunteering, but eight or two, so I was just. | 01:14:57 | |
| I was just wondering if. | 01:15:03 | |
| That's one that we're reaching. | 01:15:05 | |
| Other duties on sign. | 01:15:07 | |
| Grateful for Mr. Husky. | 01:15:08 | |
| That he has very much. So with his experience, that's great, but. | 01:15:10 | |
| We don't want to wear him out because he's. | 01:15:14 | |
| Because he, because he does. | 01:15:16 | |
| We are worried about. | 01:15:18 | |
| Well, I've talked to the HR over there. | 01:15:20 | |
| Thank you. | 01:15:24 | |
| Good question. | 01:15:25 | |
| And I will add that. | 01:15:27 | |
| I worked closely with the courts. | 01:15:29 | |
| In their review of the attorneys and. | 01:15:31 | |
| Addressing issues they have with the attorneys so. | 01:15:35 | |
| We meet on a regular basis. There have been occasions where I've had to appear in court when somebody doesn't show up just to | 01:15:38 | |
| simply. | 01:15:42 | |
| Take address. The court may continue cases. | 01:15:45 | |
| Address some minor things in arraignments, for instance. And so it is, it is good to be able to do that. | 01:15:49 | |
| Thank you for that clarification. So I'll. | 01:15:57 | |
| Health promotion. | 01:15:59 | |
| Item 4X. | 01:16:00 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve professional services contract number 071125. | 01:16:03 | |

| As well as post conviction relief. | 01:17:07 | |
| For people that have been convicted. | 01:17:10 | |
| And it's a limited amount he charges us per case. So it's similar and it's for the same department. | 01:17:12 | |
| If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer. | 01:17:18 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey. | 01:17:20 | |
| No question, Supervisor Klein. | 01:17:22 | |
| I'm good. | 01:17:24 | |
| Thank you. I'll call for a motion. | 01:17:25 | |
| Mr. Chair, I move to approve. | 01:17:27 | |
| Professional services contract number 071525. | 01:17:29 | |

| To prove professional services contract number 061625. | 01:17:45 | |
| Legal services, felony, criminal, juvenile delinquency, and mental health. | 01:17:50 | |
| With the Law Office of Sean. | 01:17:54 | |
| Houtenberger. | 01:17:57 | |
| PC for the term of July 1, 2025. | 01:17:58 | |
| Through June 3026. | 01:18:02 | |
| The maximum not to receive compensation amount of 96,000. | 01:18:03 | |
| Dollars, Mr. Husk. | 01:18:08 | |
| Chairman Christensen, Supervisor Humphrey and Supervisor Klein. | 01:18:10 | |
| Thank you very much. | 01:18:14 | |
| Sean Cotton Burger has a contract that lists. | 01:18:17 | |
| Three different items that he handles for us. | 01:18:20 | |
| Again, the felony contract is $78,000. | 01:18:23 | |
| Dependent Indigent. | 01:18:26 | |
| Felony dependence. | 01:18:28 | |
| Juvenile Delinquency. | 01:18:29 | |
| And mental health? | 01:18:32 | |
| Are a bundle of cases that he is capable of. | 01:18:33 | |
| Handling for us. | 01:18:37 | |
| We have two. | 01:18:39 | |
| Juvenile contracted attorneys that handled the majority of cases all felony. | 01:18:40 | |
| Defense attorneys that are under contract. | 01:18:44 | |
| Are assigned. | 01:18:47 | |
| Juvenile matters when there's conflicts. | 01:18:50 | |
| And the two people? | 01:18:52 | |
| For instance, juvenile. | 01:18:53 | |
| May be involved in the same offense. | 01:18:56 | |
| As has occurred. | 01:18:58 | |

| Well, I attended a Copper Hills community HOA meeting, met with those folks just before the flood. | 01:32:22 | |
| Had a good session with them. | 01:32:28 | |
| Of course. | 01:32:32 | |
| My thoughts and prayers go out for all the people that was affected by the flood and the ones that lost their life in that. | 01:32:33 | |
| It's horrible deal. | 01:32:38 | |
| But I'll tell you what I was. | 01:32:41 | |
| Totally impressed with the amount of extra help like Mr. Humphrey was saying that came in here and helped. | 01:32:42 | |
| From a long ways away. | 01:32:48 | |
| From a lot about everyone of our surrounding communities within 150 miles, basically. | 01:32:50 | |
| And so that was really. | 01:32:57 | |
| Good to see. | 01:32:59 | |
| Lot of help there. | 01:33:00 | |
| San Carlos really stepped up to the plate. | 01:33:02 | |
| Offered a lot of help. | 01:33:04 | |
| Send a lot of their people up here to help. | 01:33:06 | |
| When they themselves were having flooding. | 01:33:09 | |
| Going on yeah, open up the casino to have places to stay the night of the flooding and all that so. | 01:33:11 | |
| It was amazing, you know, and. | 01:33:19 | |
| And what was really, really good to see is that, you know, we, we see these. | 01:33:22 | |
| Things like this happen. | 01:33:27 | |
| In other States and other places and what do you see? | 01:33:29 | |
| You see the looting, the rioting? | 01:33:32 | |
| All this stuff going on. | 01:33:35 | |
| It doesn't happen in Gila County. | 01:33:37 | |
| All of our people are there to help. | 01:33:40 | |
| They're not there to steal and do all these things. | 01:33:42 | |
| I hope the rest of the nation has. | 01:33:44 | |
| Was I had a chance to watch that? | 01:33:46 | |
| Because that was a really good example of how people should. | 01:33:48 | |
| Help each other. | 01:33:52 | |
| And so. | 01:33:53 | |
| I I'm just really impressed the. | 01:33:54 | |
| The amount of work our. | 01:33:57 | |
| Our county employees did was. | 01:33:59 | |
| Just truly amazing. | 01:34:01 | |
| You know public works. | 01:34:02 | |
| Umm, they they. | 01:34:04 | |
| They were busy every day with every. | 01:34:07 | |
| All of them. You know, Jenner pulled people from everywhere he could. Our EOC folks. | 01:34:09 | |
| Or just I walked in that EOC center. | 01:34:15 | |
| Saturday. | 01:34:20 | |
| And, umm. | 01:34:21 | |
| Got to meet all the different people that's in there. | 01:34:22 | |
| They're they're from a lot of. | 01:34:25 | |
| Communities away from here, there are people that Carl knows there's. | 01:34:28 | |
| People that got here. | 01:34:32 | |
| Because Colin is somebody and they sent their best and. | 01:34:34 | |
| Who they had and. | 01:34:36 | |
| Everybody was lined out doing their job and. | 01:34:38 | |
| Aaron, I got to see you there. | 01:34:41 | |

| And everybody had smile on their face and. | 01:34:47 | |
| Busy as could be, you know. | 01:34:51 | |
| The ladies in the. | 01:34:53 | |
| Other room taking the phone calls. | 01:34:54 | |
| Those ladies had their hands full. | 01:34:57 | |
| Guarantee you they did. | 01:34:59 | |
| And they were our ladies from here in the county. | 01:35:01 | |
| And so. | 01:35:04 | |
| Umm, I, you know, I, I go back to like your spot award this morning when we started. | 01:35:05 | |
| You know, we just need to gather up the county and give them all one. | 01:35:13 | |
| After all this, I tell you it just. | 01:35:17 | |
| It's it was remarkable and and the amount of work that got done. | 01:35:20 | |
| And how they just kept after and kept going. | 01:35:26 | |
| And so. | 01:35:29 | |
| Uh, you know, I wasn't down here and I wasn't down here. | 01:35:32 | |
| Kind of intentionally as on the phone a lot. | 01:35:36 | |
| Or different people. | 01:35:39 | |
| Working with Diffum and whoever else has wanted me to. | 01:35:41 | |
| I didn't want to be in the way. | 01:35:45 | |
| During the flood I couldn't. About here anyway. | 01:35:46 | |
| I couldn't have got to town. | 01:35:49 | |
| But. | 01:35:50 | |

| Different good guy, I've known him for many years. | 01:35:54 | |
| And had conversations with him, another one so. | 01:35:59 | |
| Anyway, that it was just a it was a heck of a deal and. | 01:36:04 | |
| But my heart does go out. | 01:36:08 | |
| For those folks who lost so much and the ones that lost their life, that's always tough to see. | 01:36:10 | |
| And on top of that? | 01:36:16 | |
| I helped with our gazebo project. | 01:36:17 | |
| Kathy had up there we we were in kind of a push to get it done before the motorcycle relief project got there and. | 01:36:19 | |
| For the most part it got done and so. | 01:36:27 | |
| So that was really good. | 01:36:30 | |
| Saturday we had our nonprofit. | 01:36:33 | |
| Fundraiser in in Payson there the gala. | 01:36:37 | |
| And Kathy, you want to? | 01:36:41 | |
| Do you have an update on that? No, you're good. OK, So I'm going to do it. So I give you a chance. | 01:36:42 | |
| It looks like we raised probably around $40,000 somewhere. | 01:36:48 | |
| Around that number for the. | 01:36:53 | |
| PVVR. | 01:36:55 | |
| And it was a really good night. | 01:36:56 | |
| One night a lot of people were there and whatnot. | 01:36:58 | |
| That morning, before I got to there, there was a couple of things. | 01:37:03 | |
| One of our longtime residents here in Gila County, Nathan Ellison, had passed away. | 01:37:07 | |
| And so I attended. | 01:37:12 | |
| Funeral service over here. | 01:37:14 | |
| High Desert Middle School. | 01:37:16 | |
| And then just prior to that, I was part of the governor's meeting. | 01:37:18 | |
| EOC. | 01:37:22 | |
| I was really impressed with our governor. She came in there. | 01:37:25 | |
| I don't think it was a PR deal at all. | 01:37:29 | |
| In my opinion, she. | 01:37:31 | |
| She had her. | 01:37:33 | |
| Thoughts going and she wanted to hear kind of where everybody was at going forward. | 01:37:34 | |
| And kind of what was going to need to take place. | 01:37:39 | |
| The cameras were locked out. They were outside. | 01:37:42 | |
| Which is really cool. | 01:37:45 | |
| And so we had a good discussion. | 01:37:46 | |
| Not a long discussion, pray about. | 01:37:49 | |
| Maybe 30 minutes, 40 minutes. It wasn't a long one, but but it was a good discussion. | 01:37:52 | |
| Had her two main people. Dima was all one side of her. | 01:37:57 | |
| And our Emergency Management guy, Gabe, was on the air side of her, really smart. | 01:38:02 | |
| Individual. | 01:38:06 | |
| Both of them. | 01:38:07 | |
| And had some really good answers and. | 01:38:08 | |
| And they've already got some systems in place. | 01:38:11 | |
| As we go through this, whether it's programs or low. | 01:38:14 | |
| Low cost loans or grants or whatever it is there. | 01:38:18 | |
| They seem to be on top of it and expecting. | 01:38:23 | |
| Well, they know just like we do. | 01:38:26 | |
| This isn't going to be done overnight, It's going to continue on for a while. | 01:38:28 | |
| And so it seems like they're real prepared for that. | 01:38:32 | |
| To me. | 01:38:35 | |
| Did you get the same feeling? | 01:38:37 | |
| Absolutely. And so. | 01:38:38 | |
| That that was really refreshing to see that as well. | 01:38:40 | |
| And so. | 01:38:43 | |
| I like that. | 01:38:45 | |
| Other than that, I think that. | 01:38:48 | |
| That's all I had. | 01:38:50 | |
| Mr. Chair. | 01:38:52 | |
| That's all. | 01:38:53 | |
| Thank you. | 01:38:55 | |
| Uh, I, I want to reiterate. | 01:38:58 | |
| Express my appreciation to. | 01:39:01 | |
| Everyone. | 01:39:03 | |
| That's what we do in small communities. | 01:39:04 | |
| Rural areas, we help each other. | 01:39:07 | |
| And yeah, we don't. | 01:39:09 | |
| They don't look for opportunities to do crime or whatever, but. | 01:39:12 | |
| Last Saturday morning, right after the. | 01:39:16 | |
| Saturday. | 01:39:19 | |
| Karen and I, we were just kind of looking on the Internet and. | 01:39:23 | |
| All this flooding going on. | 01:39:27 | |
| And I said, yeah, there's been some flooding. It's a flash flood. | 01:39:29 | |
| So she says it looks really bad. | 01:39:33 | |
| Things are bad. There's cars, there's. | 01:39:35 | |
| Tanks and all these things happening. | 01:39:37 | |
| And I said, well, it can't possibly be as bad as it was a couple years ago. That was really bad. | 01:39:40 | |
| And and so I called Carl. It was still early. | 01:39:46 | |
| And he said, Oh no, it's. | 01:39:51 | |
| It's worse, I go. It's worse. How could it? | 01:39:53 | |
| When Ali started telling me about how people would. | 01:39:55 | |
| You know, perished already. | 01:39:58 | |
| It's really bad and. | 01:40:00 | |
| Like, Oh my goodness. And so. | 01:40:03 | |
| I understood that several of our directors were out of town. | 01:40:06 | |
| And I just. | 01:40:10 | |
| Decided I'm gonna call. | 01:40:12 | |
| Troy, now Troy was on. | 01:40:13 | |
| A vacation. | 01:40:16 | |
| Now, when I called, I don't know what time it was in Hawaii, but I'll tell you what. | 01:40:19 | |
| The sun was not anywhere close to getting a horizon when I called him and he answered. | 01:40:24 | |
| And he started taking care of things on his vacation, and I appreciate that very much. | 01:40:30 | |
| So I was able to pull things together. | 01:40:35 | |
| Carlos, you know what can I do to help? | 01:40:37 | |
| And of course, there's always the immediate response. | 01:40:40 | |
| And that's been amazing. | 01:40:43 | |
| The meeting with the governor was amazing, all of that. | 01:40:45 | |
| But we have more to go. | 01:40:49 | |
| Months and months more to go. | 01:40:52 | |
| To help these people recover. | 01:40:55 | |
| With their businesses in. | 01:40:57 | |
| There's people that aren't going to be. | 01:40:59 | |
| Getting wages to pay their mortgage. There's people that won't have a business to. | 01:41:01 | |
| Able to pay their insurance or their rent. | 01:41:06 | |
| And so that's a very big concern as well. | 01:41:09 | |
| And so the immediate response, the cleanup. | 01:41:13 | |
| The food, the water, the shelter, all of that. | 01:41:16 | |
| Everyone's come through. | 01:41:20 | |
| Been great. I got a lot of phone calls on Saturday myself, some of which I didn't know how they got my number but. | 01:41:21 | |
| I mean, the governor herself called me. | 01:41:27 | |
| Andy Biggs called me. | 01:41:30 | |
| Congressman. | 01:41:31 | |
| Of course, Walt Blackman. | 01:41:34 | |
| And Eli Kane. | 01:41:37 | |
| And there's more I don't even know. | 01:41:40 | |
| And so the response was very heartfelt that way. I thought that was very impressive with him to do that. | 01:41:44 | |
| Praise to everyone. | 01:41:53 | |
| That stepped up and is working hard. | 01:41:54 | |
| On this we have. | 01:41:57 | |
| A long road to go, though. | 01:41:59 | |
| On recovery and trying to help our people get back into. | 01:42:01 | |
| Their restaurants and their places of business. | 01:42:05 | |
| That are heavily damaged. Did you have something else, Mr. | 01:42:08 | |
| I just wanted to add. | 01:42:12 | |
| Thank you for all of your comments. | 01:42:14 | |
| But there is that out at the fairgrounds, the. | 01:42:16 | |

| I've kind of had some breathing and. | 01:42:51 | |
| Barnacle issues lately, but. | 01:42:54 | |
| I made it through the meeting. | 01:42:56 | |
| And we all did good. | 01:42:57 | |
| So thank you for that and if there's nothing else then. | 01:42:59 | |
