Event transcript
Morning, everyone. 00:00:00
Welcome to our meeting. It is November 4th here in Globe. 00:00:02
Board supervisors meeting 10 AM. 00:00:07
We'll get started with a Pledge of Allegiance, I've asked Cassandra. 00:00:09
To lead us in that and after that Nick Montague will. 00:00:13
Lead us in our prayer. 00:00:16
Please stand. 00:00:18
Of the United States of America. 00:00:20
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:24
One nation under God. 00:00:27
Dear my father. 00:00:41
We thank thee for this day. 00:00:42
And we think that the Board of Supervisors be able to. 00:00:44
We ask they to have a spirit who have found their bubble to. 00:00:47
Listen and discern the facts and to know what is best to do throughout the county. 00:00:51
And say these things that of Jesus Christ in. 00:00:55
Well, good morning once again. 00:00:58
We have the full Board of Supervisors here with us. 00:01:05
This morning and we have. 00:01:08
Quite a number of things to cover today. 00:01:10
So we'll get started right off and our first. 00:01:12
Item 2A. 00:01:15
Is a presentation. 00:01:17
And we have a couple ladies with us from Washington, DC here today. 00:01:19
Presentation regarding an update on legislative activity in Washington, DC from here at counties. 00:01:24
Federal lobbyist Patricia Powers oppose public affairs group. 00:01:29
Good morning, Patricia. Good to see you again. Good to see you. 00:01:34
Can you hear me OK? 00:01:38
Yes, I can. 00:01:39
Before I start, I want to introduce one of my colleagues that is here with me today that. 00:01:42
Supervisor Christensen, I know you met in DC and and. 00:01:48
Robin's been helping a couple of times on James's trips lately, but Robin Houston. 00:01:51
Is her first trip to Gila County. 00:01:56
So we got a lot of Wows on the way from the airport. 00:01:59
So. 00:02:04
I'm going to keep this pretty short and if you you all have any specific questions on on issues, but. 00:02:06
So Washington is very different. 00:02:12
From when I was here to talk about you last. 00:02:16
So things have. 00:02:19
Have been changed in a very. 00:02:22
Very distinct and and deep way so we're. 00:02:24
Shifting how we're thinking about things and how things are getting done. 00:02:29
In a very. 00:02:34
Rapid and changing way. 00:02:36
So it's and and. 00:02:39
And some of that is purposeful that they're calling it the flood zone on how we're going to be doing things. So. 00:02:40
It's sort of slowed down a little bit, but you guys remember. 00:02:47
When Elon Musk was was with us and and. 00:02:51
Doge doesn't really exist anymore I think. Only a name but. 00:02:54
But they were firing. 00:02:59
Lots and lots of federal people, and then they rehired a lot of federal people. 00:03:01
Closed offices down? Open them back up. So it was. 00:03:06
You know, initially a little tough to try to figure out what to do. I've never seen anything like this before. 00:03:10
And and. 00:03:15
Typically determined that it was best to kind of keep our heads down and and. 00:03:18
See where things were going and don't. 00:03:23
Don't overly react and. 00:03:25
And where things sometimes seem really scary, it turned out it was. 00:03:27
It was a lot of press releases and and it was, it was going to be. 00:03:30
So I think the biggest impact. 00:03:34
That we've seen so far for the county has been. 00:03:37
That $1,000,000 grant for environmental justice projects was. 00:03:42
Was rescinded. 00:03:47
And and. 00:03:49
After that, this summer when the reconciliation big. 00:03:51
Build A1 Big beautiful bill was enacted. 00:03:54
The program that that Grant was was given from was was cancelled. 00:03:57
So, so that I think has. 00:04:03
To date been the biggest impact. 00:04:05
For the county. 00:04:07
And otherwise, you know, we're just sort of watching what other things are happening. There's some some good things are happening. 00:04:09
There's. 00:04:11
Been discussions for years about. 00:04:14
Doing a better job on permitting. 00:04:18
Be more efficient so we don't spend so much time permitting projects, especially smaller projects. 00:04:21
It's a bipartisan. 00:04:26
Supported position. We'll probably see something about it in in an upcoming transportation bill. 00:04:30
But they're they're doing that in an, in a sort of unofficial way now. 00:04:36
But. 00:04:41
So that's probably a plus. 00:04:42
And unrest of it. And I know. 00:04:45
We've talked a little bit, I don't know and hopefully when we're. 00:04:47
We're talking with you all individually, if you've seen any. 00:04:50
Impacts from. 00:04:54
Not being able to contact people in federal agencies that you usually work with. 00:04:55
Not during the shutdown, but just generally if if people have been fired or or or ripped. So you know, someone that you work with 00:05:00
for a long time is now gone is very, you know, there's nobody else to replace them having trouble like that just to to let us 00:05:04
know. 00:05:09
And the other piece of that is is just to. 00:05:17
Make sure we stay in close touch with your elected representatives in in DC and let them know especially you have some current 00:05:20
concerns about things are coming. 00:05:24
Don't wait until it becomes a big problem, but just like, hey, we've been. 00:05:28
Reaching out to. 00:05:32
To Joe at FEMA and we haven't heard back in. 00:05:33
Three months. 00:05:37
Like can we get some help there? 00:05:38
And that that would be a good thing to do. 00:05:40
So right now we're in an extended government shutdown. 00:05:43
And continue to approach the. 00:05:47
Longest one. 00:05:49
We are hearing this. 00:05:51
That there's some optimism in the Senate. 00:05:53
Being voiced by both sides and to possibly come to some sort of an agreement. 00:05:56
On a bill as soon as. 00:06:01
Friday. 00:06:03
The current bill that the Senate keeps voting on is just a short term bill. It's not a. 00:06:06
One container solution just takes it through. 00:06:11
These were 21st of November. 00:06:14
They're now talking about taking it. 00:06:17
Either through the end of the year or maybe to sometime in January. 00:06:19
And to continue to negotiate the project the the. 00:06:22
The bills are 12 appropriation bills. 00:06:25
They have two groups of three. 00:06:28
That once they get past this. 00:06:31
The short term continuing resolution problem they're having. 00:06:34
They might get those done. 00:06:38
Very soon, maybe before the end of the year. 00:06:40
And that would be there, that would be total of 6 bills out of 12. So then. 00:06:43
Either in well, sometime in January or the beginning of the middle of January, they would be working on a much smaller. 00:06:47
Smaller site. 00:06:53
So that would be a good thing. 00:06:54
Next steps on. 00:06:56
On that, there's really not much. 00:06:59
And a way for the county to engage on that. 00:07:03
I mean, you could. 00:07:06
Communicate with them that you want to see them in the shutdown, but everybody wants to see the shutdown end, so. 00:07:07
You wouldn't be really adding a lot to that discussion, but. 00:07:12
I think just looking ahead for next year. 00:07:16
There isn't a lot of interest. 00:07:20
Political interest in seeing another year long continue resolution. 00:07:23
So we should see bills come out. 00:07:27
And hopefully we'll see that happen sooner. 00:07:31
Done later for the end of the year and we'll be looking at the next fiscal year. 00:07:34
So fiscal year 27. 00:07:38
And the thing for you guys to be thinking about is? 00:07:41
What kind of earmark request? 00:07:46
You would be interested in. 00:07:48
For that. 00:07:50
The use of earmarks has become. 00:07:52
Much more popular. 00:07:55
There is some. 00:07:57
I should have looked up the numbers but the last I checked it was. 00:07:59
It was probably somewhere around 3/4 of the. 00:08:03
The Congress, members of Congress on the House and the Senate side are requesting and getting earmarks. 00:08:07
Initially when they first brought them back. 00:08:13
It was the Republicans were kind of holding back and the Democrats went full bore. The Republicans now for the last couple of 00:08:15
years have passed the Democrats on the. 00:08:19
Numbers of members requesting them. 00:08:25
The amount they're requesting and the amount that they're awarded, so it's no longer a. 00:08:27
A Democrat, Republican by, you know. 00:08:32
Partisan issue at all? 00:08:35
So I don't really see them going away. 00:08:37
Even saw some things that they. 00:08:40
Some folks are thinking about allowing earmarks to go forward. 00:08:43
On a continuing resolution. 00:08:46
Which has never happened before, so I think. 00:08:48
We're definitely looking at that as a as a staple tool in the future. 00:08:50
So you want to be thinking about. 00:08:54
What kinds of projects? 00:08:56
Fit that um. 00:08:58
On the legislative front. 00:09:00
Broadly. 00:09:03
The surface transportation reauthorization bill. 00:09:07
Expires. 00:09:10
The next September at the end of fiscal year 26. 00:09:11
Both the Huskies said in. 00:09:15
Committees of jurisdiction, they've been working on that. 00:09:17
This is the the last one that passed was the the IIJA. 00:09:21
Sort of changed a lot of things. One of the things they did was. 00:09:25
Allowed for a lot more. 00:09:29
The a lot of the funding that's distributed. 00:09:31
To the states to go in competitive grants directly to. 00:09:34
Local government entities beyond the state. 00:09:40
So typically a lot, especially the highway money. 00:09:42
Goes in by formula. 00:09:45
To the state, so that's what you get from. 00:09:48
Adot. 00:09:50
Which, you know, I think the the record on that how a dot distributes the funds you guys don't always end up getting. 00:09:52
Too much of it so. 00:10:00
These these competitive grants give you a little bit more of an edge. 00:10:02
I don't think. 00:10:07
I think they'll probably end up repealing some of the Iija. 00:10:08
Competitive grants. 00:10:13
The Republicans didn't really seem to think that that was. 00:10:15
As efficient a way to do it. 00:10:20
And of course, the governor. 00:10:22
Don't like that at all. So they've been. 00:10:24
Lobbying right from the beginning to to get that to shift back. So there'll be a little bit of a shift there. So we'll probably 00:10:26
see less. 00:10:29
Competitive grants. 00:10:33
So a little bit less of opportunities for you to get. 00:10:35
Compete for funds directly. 00:10:38
But I don't think they're going to go away. 00:10:40
So Nico is working on it. 00:10:44
Help you put some comments together directly to your. 00:10:47
Members of Congress and Senators. 00:10:51
To support. 00:10:54
The things in the bill, but I think it's, I don't think they're going to open the formulas back up. 00:10:55
Given how? 00:11:01
They're kind of Congress is moving a little slowly. 00:11:02
Right now. 00:11:04
They probably will end up extending it a couple of times before they finish it next year. 00:11:05
But but that is being very actively worked on. 00:11:09
And they always said, you know, potholes aren't. 00:11:12
Aren't partisan. 00:11:16
You know, it's not a Republican pothole or a Democratic pothole. It's just a pothole that needs to be fixed. So the. 00:11:17
The both the committees on the House and the Senate side pretty much work. 00:11:23
Really closely together. 00:11:27
And seed transportation needs of the country is. 00:11:29
Is something that shouldn't be partisan at all. 00:11:31
We work to get it done so. 00:11:34
That that would be good. 00:11:35
And then the other thing is is supporting the. 00:11:37
The Pleasant Valley Veterinary Retreat bill, which is. 00:11:40
This class so. 00:11:43
You know where we're there to help wherever that's needed. 00:11:45
One of the things to think about, especially related to surface transportation reauthorization. 00:11:49
The county has a lot of really big infrastructure projects that need to be addressed, big dollar projects that. 00:11:55
Federal money will be of great help. 00:12:02
So we've. 00:12:05
512 Young. 00:12:06
Russell Rd. Control Road and the other thing I added to that list and they're they're. 00:12:07
Maybe something on it. They just did an economic development. 00:12:13
Bill that they tacked onto a. 00:12:17
Corps of Engineers bill last year, but. 00:12:19
If there's any opportunity to support some of the economic. 00:12:22
Development that's happening as a result of the Tunnel Creek Bridge. 00:12:26
There is a bucket of money that. 00:12:30
Helps support economic development related to. 00:12:33
On the on the. 00:12:37
Part of federal transit agency, but. 00:12:40
You know, if you're putting in a transit project, they expect that there's going to be. 00:12:43
Economic development around that site. 00:12:49
You know, a new bus stop or a train stop usually. 00:12:51
Encourages a lot of economic development and so. 00:12:55
We'll be, you can sort of look around and see, well, what do you, what happens when you have economic development? 00:12:58
That is. 00:13:03
Created by. 00:13:04
Surface transportation project. 00:13:06
At a Federal Highway so. 00:13:08
See where there might be if there's there's any need for something like that. 00:13:10
And then a final thing on the. 00:13:15
You know the devastating flooding. 00:13:18
That's going on. I know it's still early days, but. 00:13:20
You know FEMA has resources. 00:13:25
And there are other federal resources there. We're happy to help with that as well. 00:13:28
Thank you, Patty. 00:13:34
I appreciate you being here, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:13:35
Yeah, no, thank you. And you touched on a lot of things and we have a. 00:13:38
Meeting after this meeting so I'll get into more more. 00:13:42
In depth. 00:13:45
Then, but no. Thank you very much for your presentation this morning. 00:13:47
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:13:51
Patty, thanks for coming down. 00:13:54
Very nice to meet you. 00:13:55
Yeah, welcome aboard SO. 00:13:57
But yeah, thanks for what you're doing. 00:13:59
And I know you're gonna have a good. 00:14:01
Tour this afternoon. 00:14:03
Do you get? It's always great to be back. 00:14:06
There you go. 00:14:09
Well, thanks. All right. Thank you. 00:14:10
Yeah. Thank you. And. 00:14:12
No, you made a comment in there somewhere. 00:14:14
Where Umm. 00:14:16
The state make sure you don't get too much or something like that. 00:14:18
And that's for sure. We'd never get too much. 00:14:21
And when it comes to her funding and stuff like that, that. 00:14:25
Needs to be readjusted some. 00:14:27
Because it's, it's not going up, it's just staying the same. We're receiving the same. 00:14:29
Little dollar amounts that we were a couple decades ago. 00:14:36
And after inflation and the cost of everything, it's just, in other words, we're just shrinking. 00:14:40
And and that. 00:14:45
That would be a really good topic. 00:14:46
To talk with UMM. 00:14:49
Representative Crane and Senators Kelly and Gallego about that. 00:14:52
You know, I mean you under, you know the county works really well with A dot. 00:14:56
But you know. 00:15:01
The state decides what happens to the money. 00:15:03
Once the feds give the state the money. 00:15:06
And this, this, the governors, I can tell you, are out there lobbying very strongly that. 00:15:09
You actually need. 00:15:14
To put less restrictions on us and just leave us alone and make decisions to do that, but they don't want you to be able. 00:15:15
To do that so I think. 00:15:22
And and. 00:15:25
They they they went pretty far in the last bill in in creating these competitive. 00:15:27
Programs. 00:15:33
And I think there's been some really good results on that. 00:15:34
From that that. 00:15:37
That you can. 00:15:39
You know, proponents of of giving local government more control. 00:15:39
Can use. 00:15:44
But I think. 00:15:46
You know this would be the time for. 00:15:48
For you all to be communicating with. 00:15:50
Your members to say, hey, we are capable. 00:15:53
Of doing these projects and when we need we need some help like. 00:15:57
Like on the bridge. 00:16:00
You all got the money. 00:16:03
You brought a in to help. 00:16:04
I mean. 00:16:06
It doesn't have to be like an all or nothing kind of thing, but you know. 00:16:07
It works, we can handle it and and if it's a project too big for us to handle, we'll make sure we work with ADOT and when the work 00:16:13
gets done. But. 00:16:16
I don't, I don't think the feds are ever going to want to get in and tell the states. 00:16:21
How to do things? It's like one thing they could do is say, well, there's a set aside. 00:16:26
You know every. 00:16:30
Every. That's so hard to do because. 00:16:32
And Arizona's only got 15 counties. Iowa's got 99. 00:16:35
So how do you say like every county gets 10%, you know? 00:16:39
You'd have to figure out how to do that, but. 00:16:42
But I think just to deliver the message to say, hey. 00:16:45
You know, we can handle these funds, we can build these projects. We know where our priorities are. 00:16:47
So don't, don't cut us out completely. 00:16:54
Right. And so the the. 00:16:57
There's not a. 00:16:59
County in Arizona that's willing to give up any of their her funds to give it to heal account. 00:17:00
Right. So there has to be an increase. 00:17:05
Somehow, and I don't think those formulas have been adjusted for a very long time. 00:17:08
And we maintain. 00:17:13
Hundreds of miles of Rd. that. 00:17:15
Forest Service Road or. 00:17:17
Something like that. 00:17:20
And we do it. 00:17:21
We receive money for it. 00:17:23
But it's we're still running a department. 00:17:24
That we were running two decades ago for the same amount of money, so. 00:17:28
Yeah, they. 00:17:32
They consolidated some of the federal. 00:17:33
Road funding. 00:17:36
And then they cut it. 00:17:37
So that would be another place to try to get more. 00:17:39
More money. 00:17:42
Into it for So anyway, yeah, we kind of know how politics runs but. 00:17:43
The rural counties like us. 00:17:48
Are working off of. 00:17:50
2/3 of what we spend is grants and things like that so. 00:17:52
We got to have that stuff, yeah. 00:17:56
And you're right, you identified several roads. 00:17:58
That are high priority roads. 00:18:02
Safety issues. 00:18:04
Wildfire issues, all those. 00:18:06
Evacuation issues. 00:18:08
And they're not even our roads, they're Forest Service roads, so. 00:18:10
Anyway, thank you and thank you, Robin. Good to see you again. 00:18:14
Did you want to say anything this morning? 00:18:19
Yes, just really grateful to be here. It was a beautiful drive in. 00:18:23
And look forward to working with you. 00:18:27
Now I think I have. 00:18:30
Both of you in Payson tomorrow, right? 00:18:31
OK, good. 00:18:34
We'll show you around up there, too. 00:18:35
Well, thank you. So is there anything else these ladies? OK, thank you for that presentation. 00:18:38
And so let's move on. 00:18:45
Items Three regular agenda items. 00:18:47
Item A is information discussion action to approve an economic development agreement number. It's 2026. 00:18:49
00000101 between Heal County and the quilts of our foundation. 00:18:56
Heart to Heart Group 928 incorporated in the amount of 6000. 00:19:01
Which the board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:19:05
Ladies, come on up. So this is a. 00:19:08
$6000. 00:19:10
Economic development grant. 00:19:12
2000 from each of the supervisors. Thank you supervisors for all getting together today. We have with us Maryland, Harness and 00:19:15
Carla. 00:19:19
And they are from the Quilts of Valor, and they're going to show us what they do. 00:19:24
And why it's important. 00:19:28
And it's really beautiful. 00:19:30
And each one is different, each ones unique. 00:19:33
Each one has a. 00:19:36
Placard on it with. 00:19:39
Showing who it goes to, what it's for, and if you can just briefly tell us. 00:19:40
The point of all of this? What is it? And you guys volunteer all your time. 00:19:47
And everything and. 00:19:52
He's come on up and just tell us. 00:19:54
What? What? 00:19:56
Is this a benefit to anyone at all? 00:19:59
What is it that you're trying to do? 00:20:02
What the Equus the foundation? 00:20:05
Valor Foundation is. 00:20:09
We try to. 00:20:11
Quilt. 00:20:12
Every veteran. 00:20:13
That's been touched by war in some way. 00:20:15
Some have never left the United States, but they dealt. 00:20:18
With. 00:20:21
Some way, shape or form? 00:20:23
And that's what we do, you know, we make quilt, we take our time. 00:20:25
But we, you know, we run on donations. 00:20:30
Is what we did the donations is what? 00:20:33
And help us buy the material. 00:20:37
The thread, the batting, the backing. 00:20:39
You know, that's what the. 00:20:42
The quilts made out of. 00:20:44
Very good. 00:20:46
Quality. 00:20:48
In our material, we don't buy it just from anywhere. 00:20:48
So you figure a quilt ranges from. 00:20:52
The foundation had an appraiser come in and. 00:20:55
He appraised the quilt that. 00:20:58
800 to 1600 dollars. 00:21:00
The two figure it's, you know, it's $1215 a yard. 00:21:04
But it's the front. 00:21:08
You know, everybody's going up in price because you know. 00:21:10
The cost of living. 00:21:15
And the recipients usually have a ceremony. 00:21:17
Yes. And the recipients are very proud to receive this. They're very humbled by the fact that they're honored that way. Yeah, we 00:21:20
do groups. 00:21:24
And then if the person is very private, we go to them. We do it how they want it. 00:21:28
That we wrap them in a quilt. They are. 00:21:33
I opened it up with a presentation. 00:21:38
And then I have a. 00:21:40
Veteran. 00:21:42
Who resisted certificate? I'm sorry. 00:21:44
To the recipient. 00:21:48
And then he is saluted. 00:21:51
And then, most generally, the lady. 00:21:55
They were wrapped in the quilt. 00:21:58
And if they allow it, we have them. 00:22:00
And thank them for their service. 00:22:02
And that's how each veteran is done. 00:22:06
And our goal is to try to get every veteran that we can. 00:22:08
That's our goal and the funding is, like you said, we live on donations. 00:22:13
It's a super powerful thing, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:22:19
Yeah, no, I think it's a great thing that you do. 00:22:23
I guess the question I have is. 00:22:25
Is do you have some younger? 00:22:28
People that are are wanting to learn to quilt with you. 00:22:30
Most of our ladies now, we do have a leader down in Buckeye. 00:22:36
And she works with the 4H. 00:22:40
Oh, that's a great. Yeah, that's. 00:22:43
Yeah, that's kind of what I've learned because it's a great program and you know, you get. 00:22:44
Younger individuals like with 4H or things of that nature that want to learn to quilt because a lot of the old techniques are 00:22:49
going by the wayside and it would, you know, it'd be a shame that. 00:22:54
That this doesn't continue to carry on. We've been trying to, you know, to recruit, yeah. 00:23:00
You know, because it really didn't. You know, like you have only been the leader. 00:23:08
For a few months learning a lot of sure. 00:23:12
You know, too. And then we had a meeting with a lot of other group leaders, and this is how I found out, you know, go to your 00:23:15
school. 00:23:18
Go to your because a lot of schools now they don't even have. 00:23:22
Sewing classes, right? Yeah. Like, yeah, because they used to have like, home economics where they learned to bake and so and 00:23:25
those kind of things not only for females but males as well. 00:23:30
That's what I'm trying to reach out today. Have 6 mail. 00:23:34
Yeah, no, I knew that from one of the one of the previous. 00:23:39
Presentations and vets too freedom do this certificate when he helped run the coffee. 00:23:43
There's a veteran's copy and pasting. Oh yes. 00:23:49
And he's good to help us get, you know, yeah. 00:23:51
Nominations and. 00:23:54
He has. 00:23:56
You know, auctioned off a few quilts, but. 00:23:58
They don't have the label by no means, and usually they're not really, you know, actually. 00:24:01
Their quilt has been made but they opted them off to raise money. 00:24:07
Shoot. Well, thank you all very much for what you do. 00:24:10
Supervisor Humphrey, don't. 00:24:16
It's OK, Early Pfizer, Klein, this guy right here. 00:24:21
Ladies, thank you. How many quotes have you done so far, do you know? 00:24:26
Let me say, as of September 30th, the Foundation, this is all 1100. 00:24:31
11,000 Oh, there's over 11,000 members. 00:24:37
They have put out 424,000. 00:24:41
428. 00:24:44
As of September 30th, I haven't got the October. 00:24:46
We as a group. 00:24:49
Have put out 71. 00:24:50
And our goal is to try to get 100 before the end. 00:24:55
Good job. 00:24:59
Yeah. Well, thank you so much for doing that. Well, thank you for your time. 00:25:00
Is it all right if we get a picture with you ladies? 00:25:04
Would like to do that. So I'll just stay right there. We're going to come down to you. 00:25:07
Can you open the court and hold it in front of me? So we sure. 00:25:14
Skippers. 00:25:35
OK, right here. 00:25:38
Thank you. Thank you. 00:25:41
So if anyone would like to be a part of that group, I'm sure they have. 00:26:01
Something for you to do and help. 00:26:05
With uh. 00:26:10
Let's go ahead. I think we need to vote on that yet, don't we? So. 00:26:10
I will call for a motion. 00:26:16
Mr. Chair, I move to approve economic. 00:26:20
Development agreement number. 00:26:22
202600000101. 00:26:25
With Quilts of Valor Foundations. 00:26:30
Heart to heart group. 00:26:34
928 incorporated as presented. 00:26:36
And which the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:26:39
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:26:43
We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:26:45
Aye, aye. Thank you very much. 00:26:48
Very welcome. 00:26:53
Appreciate what you all do. 00:26:54
Item 3B We have information discussion action to approve the open Gov Master Services agreement with. 00:26:56
Open Gov Incorporated for its procurement and contract management software platform. 00:27:02
It's in a not to exceed contract amount of $244,377.12. 00:27:08
For the term of November 4th, 2025 through. 00:27:13
June 30th, 2029. 00:27:17
Good morning, Marin. Good morning, Mr. Chair, Good morning, Supervisor Humphrey, Supervisor Klein. 00:27:20
I'll just jump in and address the elephant in the room. A year ago I was. 00:27:27
I brought to you the. 00:27:32
Contract. 00:27:33
Software platform. 00:27:35
And while we used it to the best of its ability, it did not meet our needs. 00:27:37
So. 00:27:43
When we realized it wasn't meeting our needs, Olivia. 00:27:44
Went out and started seeking a new solution to streamline our processes. 00:27:47
While increasing and improving our efficiency. 00:27:53
So open Gov. 00:27:57
Is the solution that will do that. 00:27:59
At the best. 00:28:01
Cost to the county. 00:28:03
And we have Grace and Brandon here from Open Gov if you have any questions. 00:28:04
And we've got Olivia here also happy to answer any questions that you might have. 00:28:09
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:28:13
Yeah, so so the one that you. 00:28:17
Brought to us earlier. It didn't work and. 00:28:20
As well as your wish. 00:28:24
It did. 00:28:25
It turned out to only be like a. 00:28:26
An online library and it wasn't searchable by the people that we expected to be searchable. 00:28:29
But we thought that it would create. 00:28:34
What you all have been asking for like the reports and things and it won't. 00:28:37
And this one will. 00:28:41
OK. 00:28:44
Yeah, I'm not a big IT person, so. 00:28:47
I mean I. 00:28:50
If I if I was, I'd probably have more questions. 00:28:51
But this is going and so this is going to help. 00:28:54
With like the procurement, I mean that's one of the big bottlenecks. 00:28:58
That we have. 00:29:03
Yes, yes, this. 00:29:05
And how? How How? 00:29:06
How will it help? 00:29:08
In your procurement? 00:29:10
So in terms of for the formal solicitations, for instance, one of the things that I'm really excited about is that. 00:29:11
This open Gov. 00:29:19
Platform will allow vendors to register online. 00:29:21
To receive. 00:29:25
Gila County solicitations they can go up and sign up for. 00:29:27
Whatever areas there that they do business in that they would be interested in getting solicitations for. 00:29:31
And as soon as we issue that solicitation. 00:29:37
They receive it. 00:29:40
Through e-mail. 00:29:42
It will also allow us to. 00:29:43
Start to do electronic. 00:29:46
Bid submissions. 00:29:50
So there's a. 00:29:52
It will help us to have more responsive bidders. That's kind of an issue. 00:29:54
That we've been having. 00:30:00
Is that sometimes it's hard when it's a paper solicitation. 00:30:01
For the vendors to go through it and make sure that they've got all of those. 00:30:06
Check mark, check boxes. 00:30:12
When you have it in electronic form. 00:30:15
It will tell them you need to submit these things in order to have a complete. 00:30:18
Bid submission, so it's going to help us to have more participation in our solicitations, it will help us to have a wider reach. 00:30:24
To our local vendors as well as a little bit further out. 00:30:34
It will help us to more quickly get out information. 00:30:41
About any addendums, for instance, when we when the flooding emergency happened, we were going to have a bid opening that 00:30:45
following Tuesday and that just wasn't going to work with everything that was going on. So we had to very quickly get on an 00:30:51
addendum. 00:30:56
To everybody who was on the plan holder list. 00:31:02
And the process now is that we have to post it to the website, we have to send out an e-mail to everybody. 00:31:06
And that takes a little bit of time with the open gap. 00:31:13
All we have to do is generate the addendum in Opengas and it automatically blasts out to everybody. 00:31:16
Everybody. Does that include the? 00:31:24
Staff people of Gila County. 00:31:27
Who have things in procurement? 00:31:31
Yes. 00:31:34
So that'll be compatible with our IT stuff. 00:31:37
Like with facilities with. 00:31:40
Our county shops with. 00:31:43
Everybody that's that's that has things. 00:31:46
And to you for procurement? 00:31:49
For it to go out to contract. 00:31:51
So they they will. 00:31:54
They will be able to get into your software and see that. 00:31:56
Where Where things are at and who's bidding and how many bidders and things, yes. 00:32:00
They will be able to see. 00:32:06
They will actually. The another thing is that the bidders can ask their questions. 00:32:08
Through. 00:32:13
And. 00:32:15
If for instance if you know landfill has a solicitation out, they can go. 00:32:16
Into open Gov and they can answer those questions directly. 00:32:22
Instead of it having to go through an entire process. So yes, the department users will have access. 00:32:26
To the system, they will be able to see the status. 00:32:34
Of their solicitations and their contracts. It's not just for formal solicitations, it's for all of our contracts. 00:32:38
They will be able to see that it will increase the transparency with the departments. 00:32:44
And with our outside users, OK, so our IT is not going to have, I mean our departments aren't going to have to change their IT 00:32:49
system. 00:32:52
To be compatible with this system that you're bringing, no, No, because this is all going to be in the cloud, so it's not. They 00:32:56
don't have to have anything installed on their computer. 00:33:02
There, you know, there's nothing that they're going to have to. 00:33:08
Learn that's going to be any different for them. 00:33:11
It'll be like going to a website. 00:33:16
OK. 00:33:18
That doesn't sound foggy at all. 00:33:23
By the Klein I was thinking maybe we start talking English here. 00:33:26
So basically. 00:33:32
I understand what you're saying there. 00:33:35
I have a couple questions. First, in order to get our participants, we need to advertise this and get it out there that they have 00:33:37
this ability. So is that going to go through like? 00:33:41
Call on the website. 00:33:46
Canon website or something that. 00:33:47
We can absolutely do that, yes. And I think that that would be a great idea to get more of our local vendors to sign up who maybe 00:33:50
are not already participants in other. 00:33:56
Open Gov. 00:34:02
Procurement. So Open Gov has many customers here in Arizona, including Mojave County and the city of Tucson and things like that. 00:34:05
So there may be some local vendors who already used Open Gov to see those. 00:34:13
Those solicitations. 00:34:22
And if they are? 00:34:24
Then they can just say, well, we're also interested in seeing Gila County solicitations and then they'll be signed up to Sequela 00:34:26
County solicitations. But otherwise, yes, we would want to do some form of outreach to our local vendors to let them know that 00:34:32
this is the new process to sign up as a vendor with Gila County. 00:34:38
And then I would be happy to walk them through if they needed any assistance with. 00:34:44
How how to sign up? 00:34:51
But it's not. 00:34:53
A difficult thing for them to sign up as a vendor. It's very simple. 00:34:54
OK, so. 00:34:58
And I know you've been working very hard on a bunch of our agreements. 00:34:59
Contracts and stuff like that. So when we. 00:35:03
We're going to go to this system. 00:35:06
What kind of timeline, How is that going to shorten how we're doing now as far as time? 00:35:08
OK, so I'm gonna put you on the spot here. Oh yeah. No, no, I, I appreciate this question because let me tell you what our 00:35:12
process. 00:35:15
This right now. 00:35:19
When I get a contract request, it comes through by e-mail. 00:35:21
There's a contract request form. 00:35:25
If it's over 50,000 they also have to have an agenda request form. 00:35:27
If it's for a formal solicitation, they have to have a request to advertise form. 00:35:32
They may have to have three quotes. They may. There's all sorts of documentation. 00:35:36
And they have to gather all of that information and then send it to me by e-mail. 00:35:41
Then I go in. 00:35:45
And I look at it, I assign it a contract number manually. I have a spreadsheet for that. So I have to go and do that. And then I 00:35:46
have to enter the contract information on my contract tracker, the spreadsheet that I just sent you guys a couple of days ago, 00:35:51
that Excel spreadsheet with all the colors on it. 00:35:57
So I enter it on there. 00:36:02
And then? 00:36:04
As we I also have to create a paper file because we have hard copy files of everything as well. 00:36:06
So I'm creating the paper file and printing everything out for that as well. 00:36:12
Then we end up going through the process I have to create the contract in. 00:36:16
A Microsoft Word document. 00:36:21
I have to convert that to a PDF. 00:36:24
I have to go into Adobe sign and send it out to the vendor for them to sign. 00:36:27
They get the Adobe sign request, they sign off on it, and then we have to do an executive summary if it's under 50,000. If it's 00:36:31
over 50,000, I have to submit the agenda item anyway. It's a lot of steps and a lot of manual things where I'm having to use 00:36:37
Microsoft for this, Word for this, Excel for this. I have all of these different places that I have to go to to track all of this 00:36:42
information. 00:36:48
Everything's going to be an open guff. 00:36:54
So what you're saying it's going to cut your time and the process down by a lot? 00:36:57
Yes, we're going to get rid of so many of these manual little processes. 00:37:02
Things that are in all these different places are going to be in one place. 00:37:07
So then by the time that. 00:37:11
That contracts all said and done, it hits our desktop here. 00:37:12
We approve it. 00:37:17
It's done, deal, it's over with. We're good to go, yes. 00:37:18
No more processes after that. 00:37:21
No. And in fact the department who requested it, we will have in there. 00:37:23
Here's the expiration date and it will remind the department automatically. It will notify them. 00:37:30
That you know. 00:37:37
6090 days out, whatever we have set up for it, it will automatically remind them, hey, this contract is going to be coming up for 00:37:38
renewal in 90 days. And so then they can you know, go in and say, OK, well we want to go ahead and renew that. It will help us to 00:37:44
be so much more proactive with contract renewals. 00:37:51
Or extensions as well. 00:37:58
So there won't be more excuses of being late. 00:37:59
On the contract. 00:38:02
It will. It will significantly reduce the number of excuses in being laid. 00:38:04
Thank you both. 00:38:09
So we have two representatives from Open Gov here today. They've come a long way. I'm not going to let them just sit back there. 00:38:11
You need to come on up. 00:38:15
So. 00:38:21
I have heard. 00:38:22
Bits and pieces of our procurement. 00:38:24
Problem and it's mainly delays. 00:38:26
And it can delay a vehicle from being fixed. 00:38:30
For weeks or more. 00:38:33
That is a vital. 00:38:36
Piece of equipment that needs to be. 00:38:38
It just doesn't even make sense to me that if something is needed, we can't just buy it. 00:38:40
And do it, but it's because of our policies. 00:38:45
Our own policies are tripping us up and so. 00:38:47
How long has open Gov been in business do you know? 00:38:50
That's a fantastic question. So we have Brandon, yes, and I should introduce myself, say hello. 00:38:56
And Grace, OK, do you know how long is your company or you represent the company? 00:39:00
Yes, we do. 00:39:05
And it's just introduction. My name is Brandon. I'm the regional manager at opengov. So. 00:39:06
I work with Grace. I have a team of nine folks. We covered the entire state of Arizona and effectively Colorado. 00:39:11
So my team overseas 13 states. 00:39:15
It's a pleasure to be in front of you all. And to answer your question, Chairman. 00:39:18
I don't think I've been around since 2000. 00:39:21
OK. And about how many? 00:39:23
You mainly deal with governmental clients. 00:39:26
And you have. 00:39:30
Hundreds of clients or. 00:39:31
Your success. Your success. 00:39:33
Raped and you know, so how would you rate your company? And I know that's kind of a. 00:39:36
But you know, why should why should we choose you guys? 00:39:41
Absolutely. 00:39:45
When it comes to our current partnerships, we partner with over 2000 municipalities across the United States. 00:39:46
And with procurement alone, we hold a 99% retention rate within our procurement solution. 00:39:53
So I might be biased here, but I would say we would rate ourselves pretty high when it comes to our procurement and contract 00:39:59
management solution. 00:40:02
So 99% of your clients stay with you. Is this the kind of thing it looks like this is about a four year, 4 1/2 year? 00:40:06
Contract. 00:40:14
Then do we renew this again with you or is this? 00:40:15
So this is a ongoing subscription. 00:40:19
Sort of situation, OK. 00:40:23
That is right. 00:40:25
In 2029, right, the option to renew is there. 00:40:26
If the county said to one year or my favorite renewal, that's obviously up to you. 00:40:29
And this dollar amount is for that entire time period? 00:40:33
So that splits out to. 00:40:37
50,000 a year. Well I can't see it behind my hands. 00:40:39
Yeah, OK. 00:40:44
Ask the professional services in deployment. 00:40:46
OK. All right. 00:40:49
Very good. Any questions with? 00:40:50
Well, Mr. May. 00:40:52
We are our IT person here. 00:40:55
Or do you have any comments or questions? 00:40:57
About this program. 00:41:00
Process compatibility with. 00:41:03
What we don't like I said I, I. 00:41:06
This is not my field, I'm not the mechanic. 00:41:08
What's this Carrie Bartling does? She's better by me. 00:41:11
Hi I. 00:41:14
I I have not vetted the software personally, so this is a software that they'll be using for their contracts. 00:41:16
On it for them so if. 00:41:22
This is something that. 00:41:24
They're saying will work for them. This is. 00:41:26
You know something that they will do I I. 00:41:29
Curtain, I like I said, I have not vetted the software personally, so. 00:41:31
You'll see the incompatibility problems, so as far as compatibility there isn't going to be an issue because it's all in the 00:41:36
cloud. 00:41:40
I'm not sure if it's. 00:41:44
What? What the? 00:41:47
Cloud works if it's you have to be internal to use it or not. 00:41:49
Or if it's an external thing. 00:41:53
But as far as compatibility on our systems, there should not be an issue as far as compatibility so. 00:41:55
OK, yeah, I I guess. 00:42:01
My only question is. 00:42:02
As you know the the main bottleneck with the county is. 00:42:04
Is getting through procurement. 00:42:08
It bottlenecks. 00:42:10
Well, all of our projects and the process of it. 00:42:12
So I guess. 00:42:16
I guess I would like to know. 00:42:17
And another six months. 00:42:20
What after the installation of this? 00:42:22
Of what? What it's actually? 00:42:26
Done for us in six months or a year. 00:42:28
I I would like to. 00:42:31
I would like to see this magic. 00:42:32
That it's supposed to prefer. 00:42:35
I'm I'm confident that. 00:42:38
That you'll see. 00:42:41
Results very quickly. 00:42:43
There there may still be bottlenecks at crucial times. 00:42:46
We do have a lot of contracts. 00:42:50
That are. 00:42:53
On a fiscal year basis and so we will probably receive another 87. 00:42:55
Or more contract requests. 00:43:00
In June and July of next year, however, we will be better equipped with open Gov. 00:43:02
To manage those, to be more proactive, maybe we'll actually because we have all of these things in there, we can start working on 00:43:07
them in May. 00:43:10
So that it. 00:43:14
Isn't left to July and then into August and then into September. 00:43:15
So the I, I'm very confident that you will see. 00:43:21
Some very positive results very quickly and also in terms of the solicitations, I I'm very excited. 00:43:25
About what this could mean. 00:43:32
For getting more. 00:43:34
Of our vendors. 00:43:36
On board so that we get more. 00:43:38
Bid submissions, there's better competition. 00:43:41
And it's better quality submissions that are coming through so that we're not having to mark people is not responsive. 00:43:44
OK, Yeah, I. 00:43:55
It just I mean. 00:43:57
Hila County has been around for a long time. 00:43:58
And the people that work with us have worked with us for a long time, and the people that haven't and want to. 00:44:01
They've they've known we've been here, so I don't see how magically it's going to bring in. 00:44:07
A whole lot of more vendors. 00:44:12
I, you know, we're, we're rural Arizona and I don't see how. 00:44:14
A program is going to get more people interested in dealing with. 00:44:18
County but. 00:44:22
That's just me. 00:44:23
So anyway. 00:44:24
Yeah. Thank you. 00:44:26
Thank you anymore, Supervisor Klein. 00:44:28
One for Olivia. 00:44:31
What What about those folks that may be out there that don't want to participate? 00:44:33
In this. 00:44:37
Don't want to sign up for open Gov? 00:44:38
Is there going to be still a? 00:44:41
Ave. for him to build a. 00:44:42
Put in a bid. 00:44:44
Manually like we've been doing it or how you can workout. 00:44:46
If they would rather submit a paper bid, we will still accept paper bids, OK. 00:44:49
OK, you know, I, I don't know that that's the case, but. 00:44:54
Just by chance there may be. So certainly yes, there may be more people, you know, people who are more comfortable in doing that 00:44:58
and we will certainly still accept a paper bid. 00:45:03
And do the opening that way if that's what they prefer. 00:45:08
OK. Thank you all. Thank you too for coming down. 00:45:10
Thank you. Yeah, thanks for that. And. 00:45:13
Grace, you told me you were from the San Francisco Bay Area. And Brandon, where are you from? 00:45:16
Again from the San Francisco Bay Area. 00:45:20
We appreciate you guys coming very much, really. 00:45:24
So thanks for coming. Thanks for your input. 00:45:27
The only last question. 00:45:29
If we absolutely do not like this this software. 00:45:33
Is there any? Are we, are we obligated to pay through 2029? 00:45:38
On it. 00:45:43
Is that a set in stone contract? 00:45:44
There is included in our. 00:45:48
Master services agreement, there's term nature for non appropriation. So I'd also go back to that 1% of folks that. 00:45:50
Right. Would you like to find the majority of those folks are organizations where in very rare circumstances they are forced to 00:45:56
not appropriate for the project. We just asked for authority. They've written notice ahead of the next term and that's where 00:46:00
things rely. So in that effect, yes. 00:46:04
OK. 00:46:08
You said 30 day notice at the end of the next term. 00:46:11
Each term is predated in bullet at the beginning of the term. So for example, right that first term there that's inclusive of a 00:46:14
prorated portion of software plus professional services. 00:46:18
Right, we come to July 1st of 2026 and say. 00:46:23
You know, before we get to July 1st, you know. 00:46:27
By June. 00:46:29
You guys say, hey, we're no longer appropriating for this project. That's where it would lie, right? 00:46:30
But we do each installment of software right that determines payment. 00:46:34
OK, if that's true, OK. So, so like I say, if we don't like it in a year. 00:46:38
Yeah, then you just made. 00:46:42
You just need. 00:46:44
30 days notice. 00:46:45
Prior. That's right. 00:46:47
To that. 00:46:49
Wanting to terminate. 00:46:51
Within that year. 00:46:52
That's correct. If it were a case of terminating for not appropriation, we would just ask for a 30 day revenue. 00:46:54
Notice before that extra begins and. 00:47:00
OK, so they're on yearly terms? 00:47:03
That's right. That's right. 00:47:05
OK, it's a July, June year. 00:47:07
That's correct. That's right. 00:47:10
OK, thank. OK, thank you. I mean, we really drilled down on you guys and it's not that we're suspicious, but we just want to know 00:47:14
what we're buying. 00:47:18
So appreciate that. So if there's nothing else, then I will call for a motion. 00:47:22
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the Open Gov Master Services Agreement. 00:47:27
With Open Gov incorporated as presented. 00:47:31
Well, second motion a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:47:35
Aye, unanimous. Thank you very much for coming. Have a safe trip back. 00:47:40
Thank you. Thank you. 00:47:43
All right, next we got Josh Beck. We got 3C information. 00:47:46
Discussion action to approve the IGA with. 00:47:49
Arizona Department of health services, whereby gila county. 00:47:52
Will provide funding. 00:47:56
For up to $33,000 per month. 00:47:57
Not to exceed $99,000 for the period of October 25, 2025. 00:48:00
To January 30th, 2026. 00:48:06
To continue providing eligible infants. 00:48:09
With the Wick. 00:48:12
Infant food benefits during the federal. 00:48:13
Shut down. 00:48:16
Josh, good morning, Chairman Christianson Supervisors so. 00:48:18
The Women, Infants and Children's Program. 00:48:22
And just put this out there too, and the consent items, you'll see our actual. 00:48:25
With contract for this year for 327,000, it's been appropriated by Congress or by the President and the Congress, but we haven't 00:48:28
actually received that money yet. 00:48:33
So in the meantime, what we're trying to do is keep up with the federal shutdown. 00:48:38
This item was a little bit more serious. We were originally going to run out of WIC funds. 00:48:42
Like I'll keep. 00:48:47
October 26th. 00:48:48
The President's cabinet. 00:48:50
Are using. 00:48:51
I'll get this is a word. 00:48:55
Not tariff money. They went against tariff money, but they're using import taxes. 00:48:57
To pay for. 00:49:01
Little pieces away because it goes by so. 00:49:03
What's happened so far as it's moved from October 26th to November 1st to November 10th to November 12th. Right now it's funded 00:49:05
through November 15th. 00:49:09
It looks like that might be the end of how long it's going to be funded. 00:49:13
So in the grand scheme of things, what we did is all the counties that. 00:49:16
Wanted to continue their WIC services. 00:49:20
Worked with the Arizona Attorney General's office, officer General's office, and we created a contract kind of go backwards to 00:49:22
see. 00:49:26
What we could do to fund the state to keep the EWIC cards going? 00:49:30
We looked at different scenarios of doing women, infant and children. 00:49:34
In which counties could do what? Across the board? For the most part, everyone shows that nobody wanted to let the infants go 00:49:38
without formula. 00:49:41
The price is about 1/3 a third and a third. So would it cost us 33,000 a month to do just the infants, 66 for the infants and the 00:49:45
children 99 for all three? 00:49:50
Maricopa County and most of the other large counties that are working with the state to do this program as well are just going to 00:49:55
be doing infants. 00:49:59
So say like when I originally brought this and we found out during a meeting I think I was in with Supervisor Humphrey and Mr. 00:50:03
Menlove and we originally discussed this, we thought. 00:50:07
One thing was it made sense to stay in line with the rest of the counties because now. 00:50:12
All of the advertising and everything that goes out for this, should that event happen on November 15th and we don't have funding. 00:50:17
All the counties will be operating on the same. 00:50:24
Infants only, so. 00:50:26
That's why we chose to go with infants only. 00:50:28
Staffing wise, we were originally going to have to ask for staffing this month. 00:50:31
The government did fund snapping all the way through the end of November at this point. 00:50:34
So staffing is through November 30th, so for at least this month. 00:50:38
If we get to where we actually infuse the IGA. 00:50:42
Then we would still be covered with staffing until November 30th. 00:50:45
The last big piece of this? 00:50:50
It wouldn't give it to us in writing, but. 00:50:52
If the contract goes the way that. 00:50:54
I've typically seen almost all of our public health contracts go. 00:50:56
And I think all three of the board members have seen this before where I bring a lot of contracts to you that. 00:50:59
Igas in August, September, sometimes November, December for that fiscal year. 00:51:04
And they'll cover that whole fiscal year. So if we do receive. 00:51:09
The center of the contract. 00:51:12
The money that comes from the appropriations for the contract is on consent today. 00:51:14
Then that would backfill any dollars that we give to the state. 00:51:18
As long as they say, as long as there's a way. 00:51:22
In process to return money to us so. 00:51:24
I didn't want to put that as a guarantee, but they're saying as long as we get the regular contracted money and that's let go of 00:51:27
once the government opens back up, then there would be the potential for anything that we did have to pay to come back to us 00:51:31
because it's already part of the contract that we'll have. 00:51:36
Think that is everything. 00:51:41
OK. Thank you, Josh. 00:51:43
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:51:45
Yeah, that's, uh. 00:51:47
That's one of those deal. 00:51:48
Yeah, I just, I just. 00:51:52
I just wonder how people raise their families before. 00:51:54
Programs like this came up. 00:51:57
But I I I guess you. 00:52:00
You can't say no to. 00:52:02
To children. 00:52:04
That are in need. 00:52:05
So yeah, I don't, I don't have any comment. 00:52:07
Other than that. 00:52:11
Thank you. 00:52:13
Supervisor Klein. 00:52:14
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Josh. I. 00:52:16
I'm not much different than Supervisor Humphrey I. 00:52:19
I'm glad we're in a position that we can kind of. 00:52:23
You know, help out, especially for the infants. 00:52:27
I agree. 00:52:30
And so. 00:52:31
And then hopefully if if everything does get settled out later and. 00:52:32
There's a chance we get backfield for this money, That's fine. 00:52:36
But but I I'm glad you guys put this together. 00:52:40
Thank you. 00:52:43
Thank you. 00:52:45
So, umm. 00:52:46
Yeah, I'm not real warm about. 00:52:47
Funding a federal program that's not being funded. 00:52:50
Just, I mean, to me this is welfare. 00:52:55
Plain and simple. 00:52:58
It's not about. 00:52:59
The infants as much to me as it is about. 00:53:01
Parents who have children should be. 00:53:05
Paying for their own children. 00:53:08
That may sound harsh, but that's the reality of it. 00:53:12
We don't live in a poor nation. 00:53:15
But everybody seems to be on the take for food. 00:53:17
And everybody's wine and you know, they're not going to get the food stamps they're not going to get. 00:53:22
Their free this and free that. 00:53:26
All this we become a nanny state. 00:53:28
Not a lot of money. 00:53:33
So the principle of it I'm against. 00:53:36
But I think I will probably vote for the provision of it. 00:53:39
In case the. 00:53:43
Over and over. The government is going to be back operational by the end of the week. I'm almost sure that I think that this 00:53:47
today's November 4th. 00:53:50
Election Day and. 00:53:53
The whole thing's. 00:53:55
Emotional, uh. 00:53:56
It's political. It's insane. 00:53:57
What they do? 00:54:00
And. 00:54:02
I'm glad I'm not in that environment, but I'm really disgusted with. 00:54:03
The way some people operate. 00:54:07
In order to create leverage and other things politically. 00:54:10
So. 00:54:15
I don't think we're going to have to spend this money. 00:54:16
But we have to decide today whether we want to. 00:54:19
If we need to. 00:54:22
OK, so. 00:54:25
If there's no other discussion. 00:54:27
I'll call for motion. 00:54:29
Mr. Chair, I moved to approve the intergovernmental agreement. 00:54:32
With the Arizona Department of Health Services, where Popular County will provide funding. 00:54:35
For up to $33,000. 00:54:41
Per month not to exceed 99. 00:54:43
$1000 for the period of October 20. 00:54:46
5th, 2025. 00:54:50
To January 30th, 2026. 00:54:52
Mr. I'll second that. 00:54:59
OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:55:02
I unanimous. 00:55:08
All right, item 3D. 00:55:11
Information action discussion to approve a data access exchange agreement. 00:55:14
It's a dot file #25-0011048-I. 00:55:20
With the Arizona Department of Transportation. 00:55:25
Or access to two of databases. 00:55:28
For crash records and crash information. 00:55:31
Exchange and we have a newly. 00:55:34
Appointed Lieutenant. 00:55:37
Cole Levante was. 00:55:39
Today, yeah. And we actually changed this to captains and after the Lieutenant thing came about. So it'll look like I went through 00:55:40
two promotions over the course of a month, which is. 00:55:45
The cool ones. Everybody forgets that next month. 00:55:50
That's the elected official gig. 00:55:56
Good morning, Supervisor. Chairman Christensen, Supervisors. 00:56:02
Remember the board. Thanks for having me this morning. 00:56:05
So this is a no money. 00:56:08
Data exchange agreement between. 00:56:10
Gila County and adot What it allows us to do is. 00:56:13
When the Sheriff's Office goes out and conducts a. 00:56:17
Crash investigation. 00:56:20
It goes on to a state form. 00:56:22
Same as every other agency in the state. 00:56:24
And this allows us to transmit that information electronically to them. 00:56:27
I believe this is the first time the board has actually seen this agreement. 00:56:33
Because when we first set up. 00:56:36
This program. 00:56:39
With ADOT, they allowed it to be signed by the sheriff. 00:56:41
They changed some statutes in there in the statutory. 00:56:45
They're the statute that was used requires the board to sign it so. 00:56:49
No money. 00:56:53
It just allows us to share some info for stat. 00:56:54
Thank you so much, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:56:57
No, I, I. 00:57:00
Have a problem with this? I think it's. 00:57:01
I think it's good, you know, the crash records and things like that help us change roads and traffic lights and signs and things 00:57:03
of that nature. So I. 00:57:07
I have. 00:57:11
Not an issue with it. Well, thank you for your presentation and. 00:57:12
For your promotions and all you've done for. 00:57:15
Before helping us. 00:57:17
The client. 00:57:19
Congratulations, Cole. 00:57:20
Thank you. 00:57:22
Thanks for bringing this up, I don't have any questions. 00:57:22
I don't either, so I'll call for motion. 00:57:25
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve a data access exchange agreement. 00:57:27
A dot file number 250011048. 00:57:33
I with the Arizona Department of Transportation that's presented. 00:57:37
Mr. Chair, Secretary. 00:57:42
Motion the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:57:43
Aye, Item 3. E Information discussion action to approve Justice Webb interface. 00:57:46
Hosting agreement TRG G. 00:57:52
J HR0003. 00:57:55

November 3rd, 2028. 00:58:04

To approve the intergovernmental agreement number 03152025. 00:58:10
With the city of Globe and the IGA number. 00:58:15
03162025. 00:58:18
With the town of Miami. 00:58:20
The pass through of. 00:58:22
Pragmatica, LLC. JWR Annual. 00:58:24
Subscription Standard 100. 00:58:28
To share to the cost. 00:58:30
Of the subscription. 00:58:33
Mr. Labonte. 00:58:34
Yes, again, thank you guys for letting me present this to you. So there's not necessarily an ask of the board for this money. 00:58:36
The Sheriff's Office has. 00:58:44
Some of the money involved. 00:58:46
The other money is a flow through from globe PD. 00:58:47
Miami PD. 00:58:51
Wait, it's just those two. 00:58:55
Donald Patchy was involved, but they. 00:58:56
Are not involved at the moment. 00:58:59
So. 00:59:01
What this allows us to do DPS used to host. 00:59:02
A connection to. 00:59:06
The FBI. 00:59:08
And MVD. So when? 00:59:09
A deputy, an officer, anybody, including dispatch. 00:59:12
Is running a query for a driver's license check, A warrant check? 00:59:16
Registration on the vehicle. 00:59:21
There's some other things that come through there. 00:59:24
If there's. 00:59:26
Injunctions prohibiting harassment between some people. 00:59:27
So what this connection to? 00:59:30
Those entities does. 00:59:33
This allows us to place the query. 00:59:34
Get the information DPS used to host. 00:59:37
This connection they have sunsetted their. 00:59:40
Involvement in hosting the connection. 00:59:44
However, statutorily, they're still required to. 00:59:47
Track all the. 00:59:50
The queries that are made. 00:59:52
When we go through audits. 00:59:54
Every couple of years with DPS for that. 00:59:55
So this product. 00:59:58
We went through a lot of different products to try to figure out who we wanted to use. 01:00:01
This product gives us a lot of other. 01:00:05
Little add-ons that will help with warrants coming from. 01:00:07
Justice Court, Superior Court. 01:00:12
Them to dispatch it. It lowers the amount of redundant keystrokes through. 01:00:14
The courts entering warrant information. 01:00:22
And then dispatchers having to just lift it on a piece of paper and reenter it. There's a. 01:00:24
There's no electric an electronic conduit there. 01:00:29
That just is checks and balances sort of thing. 01:00:31
And it keeps us being able to. 01:00:35
Conduct all the checks that everybody's used to doing. 01:00:38
So we're the Sheriff's Office playing up some of the money. 01:00:40
We're asking Globe PD to. 01:00:43
Give us a little bit of money in the Miami PD, a little less. 01:00:46
It's based on the amount of officers. 01:00:49
How we came up with. 01:00:51
With what they're paying for. 01:00:52
But the agreement has to be paid by us. 01:00:54
And done by us because we host the server and we host the connect. 01:00:57
So OK. 01:01:04
Thank you. That's the program. 01:01:04
Typically Humphrey. 01:01:06
I have no question. 01:01:08

Contract number Ctr. 066849 Dash. 01:06:30
GC1. 01:06:34
The Mill Ditch Rd. project Professional design services to JE Fuller. 01:06:35
Hydrology and Geomorphology incorporated for the term of November 4th. 01:06:41
2024 through July 31, 2026. 01:06:46
For maximum compensation, amount not to exceed 77. 01:06:50
$1000 and we have just to Spain and Alex. 01:06:53
Kendrick with us. 01:06:57
Good morning, Chairman, Supervisors. 01:07:00
Milditch Rd. is a design project that is. 01:07:03
It's a road and pine that is being eroded by Pine Creek. 01:07:06
It's down to about 8 feet in width. 01:07:10
It's unpaved and so we need somebody who understands the hydrology, hydraulics of the Creek so that they can design something to 01:07:14
keep it from eroding. 01:07:18
And restore some of that roadway back so that we can have access. 01:07:23
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:07:29
I have no questions. 01:07:32
OK, Supervisor Al Klein. 01:07:34
The only questions I would have. 01:07:37
Jeff on something like this? 01:07:40
Is is our county engineer not able to do this? I mean it seems like a simple. 01:07:43
Project. 01:07:48
This is about 100 feet of. 01:07:49
Creek, yes. 01:07:52
We could design it. 01:07:54
I'm going to be straightforward, I've done these before. 01:07:56
We would need sub. 01:08:00
Consultants to do the. 01:08:01
The it's it's going to require probably some. 01:08:05
Type of erosion protection that is going to be like maybe a wall. So we would need a structural. 01:08:09
And soils sub consultant to do that work. 01:08:13
Right now. 01:08:18
With Mr. Kendrick leaving, it's it. It would be me and I have no other. 01:08:19
Person to work with me to do that work. 01:08:24
That's why I'm recommending 4. 01:08:28
OK, I just heard about you the other day so. 01:08:31
That's a discussion for later, Alex. 01:08:33
So, OK, Thanks, Jeff. 01:08:36
So I'm familiar with this. 01:08:39
In fact, I think I brought it to Homero. It's been a few years. 01:08:42
Just to help everyone understand what we're talking about this. 01:08:46
Road was constructed many, many years ago. 01:08:50
As were many in the pine strawberry area into a substandard. 01:08:53
Sort of situation. 01:08:58
It's on a hillside that's very steep. 01:08:59
And it's literally like a driveway that accesses about four homes. 01:09:03
Three or four homes. 01:09:08
And then it then ends. 01:09:11
And it runs. 01:09:12
Right up against. 01:09:14
Pine Creek. 01:09:16
Which is about 30 feet below the road. 01:09:17
And it has taken away the bank, the bank to where it is almost scary to walk in there. 01:09:20
Versus drive the fire department will no longer. 01:09:26
Go in there. 01:09:29
Emergency access, anything like that, they will not. 01:09:31
Go in trying to defend any properties. 01:09:34
That need to be they would just set up defensive perimeters. 01:09:36
To help. 01:09:39
The surrounding houses not burned down. 01:09:41
So. 01:09:43
It affects property value, sellability and eventually this road will completely collapse. 01:09:45
Getting more of the mountain side. 01:09:53
Removed in order to move the road over. Seemed quite problematic since. 01:09:56
It's very steep and there's houses right above it. 01:10:01
And so this is an expensive fix. 01:10:05
With a. 01:10:08
Relatively small benefit to the public. 01:10:09
However, I don't know how we can avoid not doing it. 01:10:13
It's a road we're maintaining. It's not a private road, so. 01:10:16
We either do it or we give it up and let it let nature take it back. 01:10:21
So that's really kind of what we're voting on today. It's going to be an expensive fix. 01:10:26
Yes, Sir. 01:10:30
And it's going to require. 01:10:31
Embankment. 01:10:32
Something I don't know. 01:10:34
Like a lot. 01:10:36
A lot. So Mr. Chair, I have a question is this. 01:10:37
A County Road or this under primitive. 01:10:40
Maintenance agreement. 01:10:43
So under the the plat it belongs to the county, but it was never taken in as a primitive Rd. 01:10:46
So it should should have been maintained the entire time by the county, but it was not. 01:10:52
Got you. But it is a County Road. It is a County Road. 01:10:58
Not just under an agreement. 01:11:02
Correct. OK. 01:11:04
It's what you would call A2 tracker. 01:11:06
Getting back in there. 01:11:09
And it is. 01:11:10
As if someone. 01:11:12
It not plan. 01:11:13
For access to these houses. 01:11:15
It was just done. 01:11:17
4050 years ago and now we're dealing with. 01:11:19
Fixing it. 01:11:23
No way it should be. 01:11:24
OK. So there's no other discussion. I'll call for a motion. 01:11:26
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to award contract number Ctr. 01:11:29
066849-GC1 to JE Fuller and hydrology. 01:11:33
Incorporated as presented. 01:11:40
I'll second it. 01:11:43
Motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:11:44
Aye, thank you. And we've got one more for you, Alex, right? 01:11:47
Three I Information discussion action Approve a good neighbor agreement #26-G N. 01:11:52
Dash 11031200-006. 01:11:58
Between Hill county, the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. 01:12:02
Southwest Region Congress National Forest for global emergency sediment storage. 01:12:06
Resulting from the catastrophic flooding in Gila County. 01:12:11
Arizona. 01:12:14
Alex, Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 01:12:15
This is a good neighbor agreement between US and town National Forest after the flooding occurred. 01:12:18
They really came to bat for us and they allowed us to use the default Kilner. 01:12:24
It to store sediment debris. 01:12:28
And we'll continue to allow us to do that as we get more of the debris pulled from. 01:12:31
Each of the. 01:12:35
Creeks and. 01:12:36
Washes. 01:12:39
As. 01:12:40
The post fire so this is the. 01:12:41
The paperwork to get that agreement in place with the Forest Service. 01:12:44
Accused supervisor Humphrey. 01:12:48
Yeah. When you say debris is is that dirt as well as trees and things that are taken out of the Creek? 01:12:49
Excuse me, sediment debris. 01:12:55
Also, just just the dirt. Just the dirt, OK, the green waste and all their other schedule A must be disposed of. It are properly 01:12:57
disposed of. 01:13:00
OK, OK. 01:13:04
That's a different. 01:13:06
Yeah, that, that's what I thought. But yes, when yes, sorry, that's why I was just clarifying that. So all, all the dirt that we 01:13:06
filed in a special place. 01:13:10
We can unfile it. 01:13:14
Once it is clean, yes. 01:13:16
Yeah. Thank you. 01:13:17
So we find the client. 01:13:19
Alex, are we going to have to move this out of that pit later on or is is? 01:13:21
How's that going to work? 01:13:25
No, our agreement with the Forest Service, what they wanted to do is they wanted to restore that pit to native. So once all of 01:13:26
the. 01:13:30
Dirt material is there, we're going to reshape it and. 01:13:34
Hope that becomes. 01:13:37
As native as it can be. 01:13:38
Good. Thank you. 01:13:40
Kind of all good and good. That's a question. 01:13:41
Also too, we have a lot of. 01:13:45
Constituents. 01:13:48
Who lived along the Creek and things with all of the. 01:13:50
Creek Washing. 01:13:52
We lost. 01:13:54
They lost a lot of their property. 01:13:55
And so. 01:13:57
When I met everybody out of the dump, they were. 01:13:59
We're going to test this dirt. 01:14:02
To be sure that. 01:14:05
It wasn't contaminated of some type. 01:14:07
And so are we going to use all this dirt at the Forest Service? Are we going to be able to maybe give some people some of their 01:14:11
yards? 01:14:14
Back with some of this material. 01:14:18
So the goal is to do. 01:14:21
To do that, to use some of the clean dirt to restore yards, this is just the agreement with the Forest Service that we can use the 01:14:22
counter pit to take. 01:14:26
OK, so yeah, if we don't use it for. 01:14:30
Right. 01:14:33
For fill in. 01:14:34
Then there they'd be willing to take. 01:14:36
What we don't use? 01:14:38
For people that it may need some field. 01:14:40
Correct. 01:14:43
Thank you very much. 01:14:44
Thank you, Alex. Alex, this is your last time here and I understand you're moving on and moving up. 01:14:47
And you're going to do great. You've been a very valued employee, really a great. 01:14:55
Employee for Gila County. 01:14:59
Good friend. 01:15:01
We're going to miss you. We wish you the best. 01:15:02

Let's go now to our reports. 01:19:49
Manager Menlov. 01:19:53
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. 01:19:54
As you know, in November, we may not know, but that it's a recognition of. 01:19:56
Veterans, and it is. 01:20:00
Operation Green Light. 01:20:02
That we. 01:20:04
Light up our buildings in green to. 01:20:05
Recognize the veterans that have served for our country. 01:20:07
A statement from our public or from our facilities department that Galey County announced today that the Healing County 01:20:11
Courthouse. 01:20:14
The courthouse monument. 01:20:18
And the Public Works building and Globe. The Tommy Klein Martin. 01:20:19
Complex and patient. 01:20:22
And the Pleasant Valley veterans are treating young. 01:20:24
Have all been illum. 01:20:27
Illuminated green as part of Operation Green Light for veterans. 01:20:28
A nationwide effort. 01:20:32
By counties. 01:20:34
The National Association of Counties and the National Association. 01:20:35
Of county veterans service officer. 01:20:39
Every recognize our veterans. 01:20:41
In that manner, that is the week of. 01:20:43
This week, November 4th through the 11th. 01:20:46
Handing on veteran's day. 01:20:49
Which is next week. 01:20:51
I did also want to. 01:20:54
Recognize it. 01:20:57
Several of us attended the County Supervisors Association summit. 01:21:00
Last week. 01:21:04
And for Gila County, I considered it very successful. 01:21:05
Our two proposals that we've submitted to the county supervisors. 01:21:08
Association did receive support. 01:21:12
From the body of the. 01:21:14
County supervisors from around the state. 01:21:16
One of those being the whipper. 01:21:18
Ability by for counties. 01:21:20
To work with with her. 01:21:22
That we can address the many. 01:21:24
Seth Poles and septics that we have. 01:21:26
That are not in compliance with state law and state. 01:21:29
ADEQ requirements. 01:21:31
We also. 01:21:35
Receive extraordinary support. 01:21:36
These appear like 50 to 5, so it's considered an extraordinary both of these. 01:21:39
That, uh. 01:21:44
Still a long battle, but the county supervisors association will support. 01:21:46
The ability to when we go out and clean up properties to put a lien. 01:21:50
On the tax bill. 01:21:56
So that if we. 01:21:58
$2000 or $1000 or $500, whatever it is that we can. 01:22:00
Roll that over, put it on the tax board bill so that when taxes. 01:22:04
Are paid that that county will not be out that money that those. 01:22:07
Poppers that will clean up will be the ones that are paying the taxes will be responsible. 01:22:12
For those costs. 01:22:17
So I'm considered it a. 01:22:18
Very successful event. 01:22:21
Last week at the county Supervisor Association. 01:22:23
And and and appreciate dev supervisors supporting the county. 01:22:26

And when he comes back to us and says in six months and says. 01:25:00
You know Gila County is. 01:25:04
A really pretty good place. 01:25:06

So, Alex, I just want to say thank you as well for everything you've done for the county. 01:25:33
As far as I know. 01:25:39
Seeing all these smiles. 01:25:40
Everybody has really enjoyed working with you. 01:25:42
So many accolades. 01:25:45
As you know, Tang wasn't able to join us today. 01:25:47
But he thinks the most of you as well. 01:25:50
I want to say you're kind of going out with a bang. 01:25:53
Alex has taken a very strong lead in our storm response. 01:25:57
And has met with. 01:26:02

Close to hundreds of residents. 01:26:06
So along with our roads crews. 01:26:08
You know they're tackling what they can. 01:26:12
But this also this storm also pointed out quite a few engineering needs. 01:26:14
And that's where Alex and his expertise really came in handy. 01:26:19
And I want to tell you that he is. 01:26:24
He is going full force all the way to the end. 01:26:26
We might see if we can borrow him from time to time, but even yesterday I saw him working with Jeff. 01:26:29
And his team. 01:26:35

He's very conscientious. 01:26:40
And. 01:26:42

Little bit ago. I'll still be around working on projects for the county, just in a different. 01:27:23
Position so. 01:27:28
Thank you. 01:27:30
Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you, Alex. 01:27:31
That's sad to lose very valuable employees. 01:27:35
Capable. 01:27:39
You have anymore? That's my report, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Menloff, Advisor Humphrey. 01:27:41
Yeah, I didn't make it to legend. 01:27:46
Played a conference, but I'm very, very. 01:27:48
Happy to see that we. 01:27:50
Finally have got something going towards blight. 01:27:52
Been working on it for a long long time and I appreciate. 01:27:56
The lobbyists and Michael and. 01:27:59
Games and everybody that has put so much time into. 01:28:01
Are trying to figure this out because it's a. 01:28:05
Very political. 01:28:08
Subject. 01:28:10
People in their properties, but. 01:28:11
Well, we really very much need. 01:28:13
To do something. 01:28:17
With not only people that don't care, but. 01:28:18
But the investors and the people. 01:28:22
Whom pass and don't. 01:28:24
Do things with their property. So I'm I'm. 01:28:27
I'm I'm I'm very glad that it passed. 01:28:30
With the. 01:28:33
With the numbers that it did. 01:28:34
But anyway. 01:28:37
I I took the. 01:28:39
New public works director. We went for a ride through. 01:28:40
Some of the district issues. 01:28:46
I didn't have a lot of time because I had other things going, but. 01:28:48
Christine, thank you very much. 01:28:51
And so I did that on the 27th. 01:28:54
I attended the Copper Corridor. 01:28:58
Flood mitigation meeting. 01:29:00
And then tonight I will hold a tunnel. 01:29:03
Community Meeting. 01:29:07
And like everyone else, the on on the phone and. 01:29:09
And emails and a lot of issues with. 01:29:14
With the recent flooding and. 01:29:18
And working on more meetings with. 01:29:20
With the town. 01:29:23
And, umm. 01:29:24
You know, funding issues. 01:29:25
And so, yeah, it's, it's just been a. 01:29:28
A lot of. 01:29:31
A lot of, lot of things going on. 01:29:32
To try to help rebuild some of the issues that. 01:29:36
We have come up with. 01:29:40
That's all, Mr. Chair. 01:29:42
Thank you, Supervisor. 01:29:43
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, CSA Legislative, some of. 01:29:46
Was. 01:29:50
It was good. 01:29:52
There I did notice. 01:29:54
Turnover in some of the other counties as far as. 01:29:55
Supervisors and stuff but met new faces. With that being said and. 01:29:58
And it it was good and it was good that we were able to get the healing county. 01:30:03
Priorities through. 01:30:07
Well, that's a good start. 01:30:10
Yesterday I was on KMOJI radio. 01:30:13
Just normal stuff there. 01:30:15
And then this. 01:30:19
Thursday, uh. 01:30:20
I'll have a scheduled war meeting. 01:30:22
By zoom getting back on track with that. 01:30:24
And see what goes from there. 01:30:27
OK, thanks. I don't have a lot to report. 01:30:30
I probably have a lot coming up, so I did go to Yuma. 01:30:32
I've never stayed in Yuma. 01:30:36
Which was interesting because I was able to see the old downtown. 01:30:38
Some of the old buildings. 01:30:42
That's always interesting to me. We had a good. 01:30:43
Meal at. 01:30:46
At the old jail. 01:30:50
The territorial prison. 01:30:52
Which is actually. 01:30:54
A park. I kind of envisioned that as mainly being a bunch of dust and dirt. 01:30:55
But. 01:30:59
It's really a nice place actually. 01:31:00
I doubt it used to be though, a long time ago. 01:31:03
I wouldn't want to stay there. 01:31:06
And so I. 01:31:08
I think the summit went really good. There was a lot of very interesting things brought up. 01:31:10
That we voted on. 01:31:15
And different concerns. It surprises me how many. 01:31:17
We have 15 counties and how? 01:31:21
Diverse and different they are. As far as what? 01:31:23
Really concerns them. 01:31:26
And what doesn't seem to affect us at all? 01:31:27
In some ways, it's just. 01:31:30
Really something. 01:31:31
And that's why we need to really continue to fight for sovereignty. 01:31:33
As a county so that we don't get A1 size fits all. 01:31:37
Legislation from. 01:31:40
The state on. 01:31:42
All issues that are complex. 01:31:43
So that's all I really have going on right now. I've got some upcoming. 01:31:47
Things that I'm going to be doing, I'm going to be meeting with Robin and Patty tomorrow. 01:31:51
Look forward to that. 01:31:55
And, umm. 01:31:57
We were supposed to start a trial. 01:31:58
At TCM. 01:32:01
Tomorrow. That's been delayed now until January. 01:32:02
So there's a murder trial? 01:32:06
That was supposed to start tomorrow. That's not until. 01:32:07
Later. 01:32:10
And so. 01:32:11
Just ongoing stuff that way. 01:32:13
And that's all I really have to report. 01:32:16
OK. So what I'm going to ask is Charlotte, would it be all right? 01:32:18
Um, to. 01:32:23
Switch item 7 and 8. 01:32:27
Kerry has been here all meeting and. 01:32:30
Is it OK if we put her ahead of the executive session? Just get her to get her presentation so she can actually go on with life? 01:32:35
I'm actually having issues. 01:32:43
OK, see if you can work it out. 01:32:50
She might be the right person to try. 01:32:52
OK. All right. So that's what we will do. 01:32:56
The item that we're going to be discussing, Item 8. 01:32:59
A right now is going to be information. 01:33:04
And discussion, there's no action, it's regarding the Heal County website updates. 01:33:06
Carrie Bartling is going to be presenting that. 01:33:12
And so it is a work session, it's a little more relaxed and we can talk about whatever. 01:33:15
You have in mind. 01:33:20
When you're ready. 01:33:21
And then? 01:33:23
Whatever she has in mind. 01:33:25
James got it. Joe might have missed it. 01:33:31
So I was able to. 01:33:38
Go out. 01:33:41
To the dunes. 01:33:42
So in Yuma. 01:33:43
About 15 miles into California is Dunes. 01:33:45
Everybody goes out there. 01:33:50
Drive on them with their buggies and stuff. And so I wanted to go out there and kind of. 01:33:52
Explore ones that haven't been driven on. 01:33:56
Take some photographs and I was able to do that. 01:34:00
And usually when I'm traveling through Yuma, it's all my. 01:34:03
Way to San Diego or something? 01:34:06
So it's never at. 01:34:08
Pre dawn. 01:34:09
And so I was able to get up. 01:34:11
Tuesday morning and do that. 01:34:13
Which was? 01:34:16
Pretty interesting. 01:34:17
Pretty good, though the weather was actually quite nice there. 01:34:18
It was, yeah. 01:34:21
Yes Sir, if you want to join. 01:34:24

Good morning, Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 01:36:22
I appreciate y'all. 01:36:24
Letting me do this presentation. 01:36:26
As she gets it up over here on this other screen. 01:36:28
We've actually been working on this for. 01:36:31
A few years actually. So it started with a former employee that was working. 01:36:34
For the IT department and then it kind of moved on. 01:36:39
To umm. 01:36:41
Moved on to. 01:36:43
Cassie and Cassie's done a lot of work, It's done a lot of back end work and a few of the other people in the IT department, so. 01:36:44
And what it is, is it's an update to our current website our. 01:36:51
Current website and it's. 01:36:55
Same same company revises our software as the company that we use for our software. 01:36:56
For the website, So what we've done is they've gone in and we have the old ones still running, but they've gone in and completely. 01:37:02
For no better terms, revised it so to to updated terms so. 01:37:11
The SO with as you can see on the visual here. 01:37:16
You. 01:37:19
I think it's a lot better visual on there if we've got. 01:37:20
Added a little bit of color to it. 01:37:24
We actually on the. 01:37:26
On the items you'll see you have your dots. Those are the ones that are most. 01:37:29
Mostly clicked on the website we did. Cassie did some analytics on it to see. 01:37:33
Where people go mostly on that website. So what we did is we went in and added those as your icons down below. 01:37:38
And those will take you to those locations in there for us they're. 01:37:45
On the drop downs up top, you'll see that the departments, the residents, it's a lot more visual. It's a lot better visual on 01:37:50
there. So instead of having this long. 01:37:55
Long columns of having to scroll through, you actually are able to click up there and see the actual things up there so. 01:38:00
Umm Kathy, go ahead and click into a department and then that way we can kind of see. 01:38:07
And as you can see, the visual of it is a lot better on there. So and all the information was brought over. We actually did go 01:38:14
through it. There was a lot of old information in there. We have archived the old information. So if anybody comes across 01:38:20
something. 01:38:26
That they see that is missing let us know. We do still have all of the data. 01:38:32
So, but we brought over anything that is was used in the last five years. 01:38:37
So anything in the last five years that was? 01:38:41
Clicked on. 01:38:44
Looked at and visualized, we have brought over into the air. But as far as like your forms, anything like that? 01:38:45
And then if you do see anything on the website that. 01:38:51
You want changed or updated or anything, let us know. We can make those changes. We have those ability to. 01:38:54
To be a little make those changes so. 01:39:00
And I can. 01:39:02
Answer any questions y'all may have. 01:39:03
Oh, OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:39:05
Yeah, I, I don't have any questions. Appreciate you doing the updates. 01:39:10
All of those. 01:39:15
Things need to be updated because. 01:39:16
Our world is changing so hard and fast that. 01:39:19
Thank you very much for all your time. 01:39:22
In in doing the update so. 01:39:24
Thank you. 01:39:26
Ladies, thank you both. Yeah. 01:39:28
Garden and uh. 01:39:30
I know it's a continual deal. 01:39:32
Working with this SO. 01:39:34
Looks good, thanks. 01:39:35
So you're working, Do you work with and Cameron and Chaz? 01:39:37
As you. 01:39:41
To this because they developed the website, don't they? 01:39:42
No, no, no. 01:39:46
That's discover heal accounts. 01:39:48
Our personal website and they don't. 01:39:52
They don't do that. 01:39:54
We do that. 01:39:56
Very good. 01:39:57
I saw a Clifford perch on there driving his boat, so I didn't go and pay him to do that. 01:39:58
On every SO they provided some of the images and stuff for us to be able to utilize on the website SO. 01:40:03
He become infamous. 01:40:12
So and then and what will happen from this point? So as long as. 01:40:14
Y'all are all OK with the visual of it and everything, the way it looks and everything. We'll go ahead and start and move 01:40:18
forwards. 01:40:21
Because we already presented it to Mr. Menloff and everything. 01:40:25
We'll go ahead and move forward on that and then what will happen is we'll get back with the revised and we'll schedule it a cut 01:40:28
over date and what will happen, there won't be any downtime. So what they'll do is they'll cut over from one to the other. So 01:40:32
it'll just be like a flip. 01:40:37
Over that one so. 01:40:42
Sounds really good, so if any of us. 01:40:44
See something like? We'd like to see an image changed or a. 01:40:46
Portrait or a bio? 01:40:50
Or anything updated? 01:40:52
We can just let you know. 01:40:53
Yeah, exactly. So I mean and, and some of the departments have reached out to us, you know, and asked us to, you know, add 01:40:55
different links or add a different photo of them on the website or whatever. So we can do that. So in any any of the changes that 01:41:00
have been requested over the last. 01:41:06
However many months we haven't done anything the changes on both this one and the old one. So we've been modifying both of those 01:41:12
websites at the exact same time, so any changes are on both of them so. 01:41:17
OK. Well, thank you. 01:41:24
