| There's no questions. | 00:02:35 | |
| I'll give you a motion. | 00:02:36 | |
| Hey, good information. Supervisor Klein, do you have anything? | 00:02:39 | |
| No. OK then. | 00:02:42 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move to reappoint Shelby Borrowdale to the Board of Directors. | 00:02:44 | |
| Of the Industrial Development Authority of Gila County, Arizona. | 00:02:49 | |
| Of retroactive from January 1st, 2026. | 00:02:53 | |
| Through December 31st. | 00:02:57 | |
| 20. | 00:02:59 | |
| 31. | 00:03:00 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 00:03:01 | |
| OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye, very good Item 2B. | 00:03:03 | |
| Information discussion, action to adopt. | 00:03:10 | |
| A resolution number. | 00:03:12 | |
| 2601-01. | 00:03:13 | |
| Whereby the Board of Supervisors rescinds its approval of the economic development agreement. | 00:03:16 | |
| 08192023 with the Payson Elks Club 2154. | 00:03:21 | |
| And accepts the terms of the October 27th. | 00:03:27 | |
| 2025 Letter. | 00:03:29 | |
| From. | 00:03:31 | |
| The Payson Elk Club 21. | 00:03:32 | |
| 54 First donation of $33,085. | 00:03:33 | |
| To heal accountability used for rally around the flakes project and agrees that. | 00:03:38 | |
| Here, the county will fund the remainder of the. | 00:03:42 | |
| Project. | 00:03:44 | |
| And this is some this is a clerical. | 00:03:45 | |
| Consideration, really, we have a previous agreement. | 00:03:49 | |
| That stipulated certain things that no longer apply. | 00:03:52 | |
| And if we have any questions about it, I think Joe would be the one to ask. | 00:03:56 | |
| But it just basically just rescinds the previous agreement, takes the same. | 00:04:00 | |
| Amount of money. | 00:04:04 | |
| And just reestablishes a new. | 00:04:05 | |
| Agreement. | 00:04:08 | |
| That fits better with the current. | 00:04:10 | |
| Trajectory of the project so. | 00:04:12 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey, do you have any? | 00:04:15 | |
| Question. Yeah. What? What's the? | 00:04:17 | |
| What's the remainder of the project? | 00:04:20 | |
| Gila County will fund the remainder of the project. | 00:04:23 | |
| So the remainder of the project is unknown. | 00:04:27 | |
| This is just to. | 00:04:31 | |
| Take care of the donated money. | 00:04:34 | |
| $33,085. | 00:04:36 | |
| That is not. | 00:04:38 | |
| Part of. | 00:04:40 | |
| Gila County's funding but was part of the citizens donation. | 00:04:41 | |
| And apply it to the project. | 00:04:45 | |
| That is in progress at the moment. | 00:04:47 | |
| We don't have a number on that. | 00:04:49 | |
| But we're approving a no number at this point. | 00:04:53 | |
| We. | 00:04:57 | |
| Well, I don't think we're proving unknown number. We haven't. | 00:05:01 | |
| Established the number and so we're not a. | 00:05:04 | |
| Proving going forward with the project other than this money would be applied to. | 00:05:07 | |
| That number? | 00:05:12 | |
| And the statement that says that we will fund the remainder of the project. | 00:05:13 | |
| We meet or receive more donations for that. | 00:05:17 | |
| It would be our responsibility to carry forward after the 33,000. | 00:05:21 | |
| Did you have something to add to that? | 00:05:27 | |
| Sure, Mr. Chairman. | 00:05:29 | |
| What we have so far is that we have this contribution 33,000. | 00:05:31 | |
| To the. | 00:05:35 | |
| The flag project in the patient area. | 00:05:36 | |
| And the Board of Writers has approved the. | 00:05:38 | |
| Design architect and engineering for that. | 00:05:41 | |
| And it costs about $60,000, so this 32,000. | 00:05:44 | |
| Plus, what would be coming from constituent funds, not from any of. | 00:05:47 | |
| Your constituent conflicts. | 00:05:51 | |
| Constituent buyers non tax dollars. | 00:05:52 | |
| That will fund the rest of that design cost of about $60,000. | 00:05:54 | |
| And then we're. | 00:06:00 | |
| That gets us to the point of what the design is. | 00:06:00 | |
| To determine what the actual cost of doing. | 00:06:03 | |
| Is which we would bring the Board of advisors. | 00:06:06 | |
| To consider at a later date. | 00:06:08 | |
| And that is something that we addressed about a month or a month and a half ago. | 00:06:13 | |
| To get through the. | 00:06:17 | |
| Initial design stage, yes. | 00:06:18 | |
| OK, Yeah, I. | 00:06:22 | |
| I just. | 00:06:24 | |
| It just seems that it should have been stated that way rather than we'll just take care of the remainder. | 00:06:25 | |
| So because if we agree to that, then. | 00:06:31 | |
| We agreed to take care of the remainder. | 00:06:34 | |
| Of whatever the project will be. | 00:06:37 | |
| Mr. Elbow, do you have anything you could add to? | 00:06:43 | |
| To help. | 00:06:47 | |
| US understand. | 00:06:48 | |
| What this motion will commit us to. | 00:06:50 | |
| Yes. | 00:06:53 | |
| I think we need to back up. | 00:06:54 | |
| To the history of this project, it originally started as a project that involved the Toronto Apache Tribe, who agreed to donate. | 00:06:57 | |
| A portion of land on their reservation. | 00:07:04 | |
| East of. | 00:07:09 | |
| Of the Beeline Highway. | 00:07:10 | |
| At the entrance to patient the. | 00:07:12 | |
| Tribes were drawn. | 00:07:15 | |
| That offer of. | 00:07:17 | |
| Commitment that that commitment of land for the project and so. | 00:07:19 | |
| In discussions before the board. | 00:07:23 | |
| Decision was made. | 00:07:25 | |
| To place the monument. | 00:07:27 | |
| On the Tommy Klein. | 00:07:30 | |
| Martin property. | 00:07:32 | |
| Involved also along the impatient along the B Line highway. | 00:07:33 | |
| And initially the. | 00:07:39 | |
| The Payson Elks club had raised contributions from. | 00:07:42 | |
| From the community. | 00:07:46 | |
| In the amount of 33 or $35,000 plus that. | 00:07:47 | |
| Was put into a into account in the treasurer's office. | 00:07:51 | |
| Because of the withdrawal by the town of Apache tribe. | 00:07:56 | |
| Completion of project. | 00:07:59 | |
| Fell fell to the community as well as to the county to to complete the project. | 00:08:00 | |
| The board has taken steps. | 00:08:05 | |
| In the past to approve the design. | 00:08:07 | |
| And location of the. | 00:08:10 | |
| Of the project and as Mr. Menlove has stated. | 00:08:13 | |
| Any completion costs are yet undetermined at this time. | 00:08:15 | |
| And it is the post completion cost. | 00:08:19 | |
| That this resolution. | 00:08:21 | |
| Will. | 00:08:25 | |
| The financial burden on the. | 00:08:29 | |
| Once those completion costs are known. | 00:08:32 | |
| But we are not. | 00:08:36 | |
| Committing to those costs at this. | 00:08:37 | |
| No, that that that decision, a way to decision by the border, that will be something we discussed further later, yes. | 00:08:40 | |
| Once those are better known. | 00:08:47 | |
| But it doesn't. | 00:08:49 | |
| This resolution was designed to. | 00:08:51 | |
| Accept the donation of funds from the patient. | 00:08:55 | |
| To heal a county for the completion of the project. | 00:08:59 | |
| OK. | 00:09:03 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey, you need. | 00:09:05 | |
| No, I'm fine. I I just ask a question and. | 00:09:08 | |
| And so, yeah, if we're accepting the 33. | 00:09:11 | |
| 1085 dollars. I think that's great. | 00:09:14 | |
| I just wanted to. | 00:09:18 | |
| To to just check to see if we're committing to the remainder of the project. | 00:09:19 | |
| And apparently. | 00:09:25 | |
| We're not so. | 00:09:26 | |
| I have no further questions. | 00:09:28 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor Klein. | 00:09:30 | |
| Well, I I have concerns over this one. | 00:09:32 | |
| I The way I read this is that we are committed to fund the remainder of the project if we agree and vote on this. | 00:09:35 | |
| And I'm not sure that's a corner we really want to be put into. | 00:09:43 | |
| I see this project as. | 00:09:48 | |
| Being quite costly before, Paul said done, we know that the. | 00:09:50 | |
| Architect and Design $60,000. | 00:09:54 | |
| We know that. | 00:09:57 | |
| But I can promise you by the time they get done with it, we're looking at a quarter $1,000,000 project. | 00:09:59 | |
| And I for one is. | 00:10:05 | |
| Would really question the. | 00:10:07 | |
| The idea of how committed we are to fund. | 00:10:09 | |
| The rest of that? | 00:10:12 | |
| Project. | 00:10:13 | |
| I have no. | 00:10:15 | |
| Problems with helping. | 00:10:18 | |
| With helping with the 33,000. | 00:10:20 | |
| Helping getting through the architect and design work. | 00:10:23 | |
| But I'm not so sure I'm willing to sit there and science. | 00:10:26 | |
| And agreed to that we will fund the remainder of the project that's. | 00:10:30 | |
| As it's stated in this agenda. | 00:10:34 | |
| Now if. | 00:10:37 | |
| My my way of thinking is is if we're not. | 00:10:40 | |
| Responsible for the remainder of this project. | 00:10:44 | |
| Then this agenda topic needs to be rewrote and reworded in some way that says that. | 00:10:47 | |
| Or could the motion be to accept the 33? | 00:11:00 | |
| 1085 dollars. | 00:11:03 | |
| Tequila County to be youth. | 00:11:07 | |
| For the rally around the flags. | 00:11:10 | |
| Project. | 00:11:12 | |
| Period. | 00:11:13 | |
| Mr. Chairman. | 00:11:16 | |
| Can I read a portion of the resolution that would be is a part of this? | 00:11:17 | |
| Proposal. | 00:11:22 | |
| It says there's. | 00:11:24 | |
| The 5th whereas is whereas the Gila County Board of Supervisors intends to continue. | 00:11:26 | |
| Development of the project and we'll plan to complete the project to display the service flags. | 00:11:31 | |
| Of the US military branches along the side. | 00:11:35 | |
| The Arizona American flags on Glee County property view. | 00:11:38 | |
| Gila County Tommy Klein Martin Complex. | 00:11:41 | |
| Choose state route A7 in Payson, AZ. | 00:11:44 | |
| So to be that resolution does state that we intend to. | 00:11:48 | |
| Intends to continue development of the project. | 00:11:52 | |
| What does that mean? I don't know. | 00:11:56 | |
| Is that absolute completion of? | 00:11:59 | |
| Having the flagpole directed and that. | 00:12:02 | |
| I I don't either James, but I will tell you that once we tie in I have no problems with the flags. | 00:12:06 | |
| I have no problems with helping with this project. | 00:12:12 | |
| But I do have a Crone with it being dumped in our laps where we're the ones that's responsible to pull this project off. | 00:12:18 | |
| We're faced with enough. | 00:12:24 | |
| Costs coming up as it is as accounting. | 00:12:25 | |
| You know. | 00:12:28 | |
| We have. | 00:12:29 | |
| Other important infrastructure. | 00:12:30 | |
| Infrastructure issues going on. | 00:12:32 | |
| That we need to finance and fund and get fixed. | 00:12:34 | |
| To just take that commitment. | 00:12:38 | |
| On this particular project. | 00:12:41 | |
| I think we need some leeway in there. | 00:12:45 | |
| I'm not saying we scrapped the project or anything, I think it's a good project. | 00:12:47 | |
| But we need to be able to do it without our hands tied behind our. | 00:12:51 | |
| Mr. Chairman, it may be appropriate at this time for the Board, the adjournment executive session for. | 00:12:56 | |
| Legal advice regarding how to resolve. | 00:13:02 | |
| Dealing with Mr. | 00:13:06 | |
| With this resolution. | 00:13:07 | |
| Unless the board prefers to have that discussion in public at the September board. | 00:13:09 | |
| Is the discussion. | 00:13:12 | |
| Gonna involve. | 00:13:14 | |
| Personalities or anything that. | 00:13:18 | |
| We wouldn't want to talk about out here. | 00:13:20 | |
| Well, my vote would be to say go ahead and say what you need to say. | 00:13:26 | |
| Unless the other two would like to go into a negative session, I. | 00:13:32 | |
| I'm I'm willing to talk about it. I don't have. | 00:13:35 | |
| You know, everything I've stated is OK, Mr. Chairman. | 00:13:38 | |
| If the resolution is not agreed to. | 00:13:41 | |
| Then the issue of what to do with the. | 00:13:45 | |
| Business clubs. | 00:13:48 | |
| Money that they. | 00:13:49 | |
| Raised in anticipation of construction of this monument. | 00:13:50 | |
| Remains an issue. | 00:13:54 | |
| And the alternative that the board has is to return those funds. | 00:13:56 | |
| In the face of those club words. | 00:13:59 | |
| And to abandon the project. | 00:14:03 | |
| Correct. | 00:14:07 | |
| OK, so. | 00:14:08 | |
| This project is something I. | 00:14:09 | |
| Or and I appreciate. | 00:14:12 | |
| All the comments so. | 00:14:15 | |
| What I feel this is very similar to. | 00:14:18 | |
| Is whenever. | 00:14:22 | |
| We have a project we would like to do. | 00:14:24 | |
| That requires. | 00:14:27 | |
| Paying a fee. | 00:14:29 | |
| In order to have an architect or a firm come up with. | 00:14:31 | |
| A number. | 00:14:36 | |
| For instance, like the building or whatever we want to do at Pleasant Valley. | 00:14:37 | |
| So we don't know the cost yet, but we have to hire someone to help us get there. | 00:14:42 | |
| And so we commit to those costs in order to. | 00:14:47 | |
| Determine. | 00:14:50 | |
| How committed we are going to be to the project and until we have. | 00:14:53 | |
| This first step. | 00:14:57 | |
| We can't know how much this project will cost. | 00:15:00 | |
| It could be a quarter million. | 00:15:05 | |
| I think. | 00:15:07 | |
| Joseph said it might. | 00:15:08 | |
| Around 180,000. | 00:15:10 | |
| There are. | 00:15:13 | |
| Variables within the project. | 00:15:15 | |
| That we may want to do over. | 00:15:18 | |
| A period of time, not all at once. | 00:15:20 | |
| Such as sidewalks or whatever else. | 00:15:23 | |
| Is being discussed. | 00:15:26 | |
| Talked to Joseph yesterday and he said there's a meeting coming up. | 00:15:29 | |
| With these people that are the engineers. | 00:15:34 | |
| And so I. | 00:15:37 | |
| I asked him to be a part of that. | 00:15:38 | |
| And so he said sure, so. | 00:15:39 | |
| This is kind of the initial. So we have $33,085 that. | 00:15:42 | |
| We have taken control of this money is not actually the health clubs. | 00:15:47 | |
| It was funneled through their account. | 00:15:52 | |
| It is the citizens of. | 00:15:55 | |
| Patient in that area. | 00:15:57 | |
| This was donations in front of Walmart. | 00:16:00 | |
| From the school. | 00:16:02 | |
| And from everything so. | 00:16:04 | |
| We have to consider it. | 00:16:07 | |
| Fairly, we need to really consider. | 00:16:10 | |
| How we handle it so that. | 00:16:13 | |
| There's no way to get it back to the original people. | 00:16:17 | |
| That gave it. | 00:16:20 | |
| And so. | 00:16:22 | |
| That's kind of where we stand with this. I feel that this initial. | 00:16:24 | |
| What we're agreeing to today would be. | 00:16:28 | |
| To fund. | 00:16:30 | |
| The engineering part. | 00:16:32 | |
| Mr. Chair, I German. | 00:16:36 | |
| Perhaps it would be better to table this and have. | 00:16:38 | |
| An alternative formative resolution drafted. | 00:16:42 | |
| That reflects that rather than. | 00:16:45 | |
| To adopt this one. | 00:16:47 | |
| OK. | 00:16:49 | |
| Mr. Chair, I agree. That's where I started because. | 00:16:50 | |
| The way it's worded will fund the remainder of the. | 00:16:53 | |
| Project. So that's design and projects all the way through the project. | 00:16:56 | |
| The way I read this. | 00:17:00 | |
| And so. | 00:17:02 | |
| OK, I'll accept a motion. | 00:17:05 | |
| Mr. Chairman. | 00:17:08 | |
| Can I make a comment? | 00:17:09 | |
| We do have a contract for the design part of that. We can go ahead and cover that $60,000 from. | 00:17:11 | |
| Constituent fund non tax dollars. | 00:17:15 | |
| And then be this. | 00:17:18 | |
| As available. | 00:17:21 | |
| And if we need to do some resolution or something. | 00:17:23 | |
| That as you can consider. | 00:17:26 | |
| Going forward, after the design is done, we can know the. | 00:17:28 | |
| The total cost and we can consider what to do with the. | 00:17:30 | |
| 33,000. | 00:17:33 | |
| At that time. | 00:17:34 | |
| So we. | 00:17:36 | |
| I guess I'm recommending the table at this point in time. | 00:17:39 | |
| OK, well how are you going to spend $60,000 without us voting on that? | 00:17:42 | |
| The contract's already been awarded. | 00:17:48 | |
| OK, we've already. | 00:17:50 | |
| You've already voted on that. | 00:17:52 | |
| OK, we will need to. | 00:17:55 | |
| Fulfill that contract. | 00:17:57 | |
| So, Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to table this. | 00:17:59 | |
| And bring it back to a later date. | 00:18:02 | |
| Mr. Gerald Second. | 00:18:05 | |
| OK, motion a second. | 00:18:06 | |
| Table item 2B. | 00:18:07 | |
| Regarding the $33,085 at this time? | 00:18:09 | |
| And bring it back. | 00:18:12 | |
| Again later. | 00:18:14 | |
| All those in favor say aye. | 00:18:15 | |
| Aye. | 00:18:16 | |
| Very good. OK. | 00:18:18 | |
| We can work on that and item 2C. | 00:18:21 | |
| Information, discussion, action. | 00:18:24 | |
| From the Intergovernmental Agreement number 0101. | 00:18:26 | |
| 2026 between. | 00:18:30 | |
| County probation department in Hilo County. | 00:18:32 | |
| Through the Hill County Sheriff's Office, whereby the Sheriff's Office will. | 00:18:35 | |
| Provide dispatch services for the probation. | 00:18:38 | |
| Department for three years from the date. | 00:18:41 | |
| The IGA is fully. | 00:18:43 | |
| Executed and it looks like we have with us. | 00:18:45 | |
| Representatives from the Sheriff's Department, we have. | 00:18:49 | |
| Sheriff Shepherd and who else? I can't. | 00:18:51 | |
| OK, very good. Thank you for. | 00:18:57 | |
| Coming. | 00:18:59 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman. | 00:19:01 | |
| Members of the board. | 00:19:03 | |
| Yeah, basically the information department approached us about offering or taking care of the dispatching services for | 00:19:05 | |
| appropriation officers. | 00:19:09 | |
| Their concern was the way they've been doing is they were just kind of monitoring the base station back in their office for | 00:19:15 | |
| regular business hours. | 00:19:18 | |
| And if they were out? | 00:19:22 | |
| Past hours, things like that, they really didn't have a. | 00:19:24 | |
| Way to get a hold of us other than my phone. | 00:19:27 | |
| When this agreement. | 00:19:30 | |
| Basically allows for us anytime the probation officers are going out and they're doing checks at different locations. | 00:19:32 | |
| They just get on the radio like any deputy would like dispatch. Now. Hey, this is my math. | 00:19:38 | |
| If they're there for a long period of time or dispatchers, normal. | 00:19:43 | |
| Well, better checks often make sure everything's OK. | 00:19:47 | |
| And if they do that, need help. | 00:19:49 | |
| They've got an immediate. | 00:19:52 | |
| All that into us are dispatching the deputies that aren't going to hear immediately as well. | 00:19:53 | |
| OK. Thank you. Very good supervisor Humphrey. | 00:19:59 | |
| I have no questions. | 00:20:02 | |

| Information Discussion. Action to prove amendment #2 to inmate work. | 00:22:47 | |
| Contract number. | 00:22:51 | |
| 2206426. | 00:22:53 | |
| Rd. Building, automotive maintenance and construction projects with the Arizona Department of Corrections. | 00:22:55 | |
| Rehabilitation and reentry re. | 00:23:01 | |
| Advising the scope of services. | 00:23:03 | |
| To include the hourly rate from $0.50 to $1.50. | 00:23:05 | |
| Olivia Todd, how are you? | 00:23:10 | |
| Good morning. Happy New Year Chairman, Supervisor. | 00:23:12 | |
| The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry has sent us this amendment #2. | 00:23:16 | |
| They are wanting to increase the hourly rate that is paid to their inmate labor from $0.50 an hour. | 00:23:23 | |
| To $1.50 per hour. | 00:23:31 | |
| This is all across the entire. | 00:23:33 | |
| States it's not just particular to Gila County. | 00:23:38 | |
| That it does impact us. | 00:23:42 | |
| We're looking at. | 00:23:45 | |
| Going from in fiscal year 25. | 00:23:48 | |
| We spent about $7200 on inmate labor for projects with. | 00:23:52 | |
| Public works. | 00:23:57 | |
| With the landfill. | 00:23:59 | |
| With facilities at the fairgrounds. | 00:24:01 | |
| And with animal control, we use inmate labor at all of those places and it was about $7200. | 00:24:05 | |
| In FY25. | 00:24:11 | |
| So it would be about 3 times that. | 00:24:14 | |
| You know, coming up in the. | 00:24:17 | |
| Next fiscal year if. | 00:24:19 | |
| The trend were to continue. | 00:24:20 | |
| OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:24:23 | |
| I have no questions. | 00:24:28 | |
| I think. | 00:24:29 | |
| I think that the. | 00:24:30 | |
| Their labor is beneficial. | 00:24:32 | |
| To the county. | 00:24:34 | |
| Providing that they are managed. | 00:24:35 | |
| Supervisor Quint. | 00:24:39 | |
| And I would say the same thing. | 00:24:42 | |
| But furthermore, I'd also say is these, these programs, these work programs for the inmates that means a lot to them. | 00:24:44 | |
| And I can only imagine what it's like staring at 4:00. | 00:24:51 | |
| Four walls every day. | 00:24:54 | |
| And not getting out so. | 00:24:55 | |
| It does help. | 00:24:57 | |
| Put them back together, I guess you might say. | 00:24:59 | |
| And for the work we get out of them in the. | 00:25:02 | |
| Cost to the county. | 00:25:05 | |
| I think it's a it's a really good. | 00:25:07 | |
| Project. And so this is the Second Amendment. Is there one or two more to go after this? | 00:25:09 | |
| We we don't know how many amendments there may be coming up. This contract goes through April of 2027. | 00:25:15 | |
| But you know, we may renew beyond that. | 00:25:24 | |
| All right. Well, thank you. | 00:25:29 | |
| Certainly. | 00:25:31 | |
| Thank you. So who pays for this? | 00:25:32 | |
| Each of the departments pays out of their. | 00:25:35 | |
| Does this out of. | 00:25:38 | |
| Corrections. | 00:25:39 | |
| Well it it would be public works. | 00:25:41 | |
| Landfill facilities and animal control. | 00:25:45 | |
| OK. All right. | 00:25:50 | |
| Thank you. With that of course, motion. | 00:25:51 | |
| I'm sure I moved to approve amendment #2 to inmate work contract number 22 Dash. | 00:25:53 | |

| Kind of almost like a Buffalo Bill guy, anyway. | 00:31:53 | |
| OK, before I wax on too much more, let's go on to item 2. | 00:31:57 | |
| I Information discussion action The review, the bid. | 00:32:02 | |
| Submitted for Request for Proposal Number 06102025, which is the scrap metal recycling services in order to contract. | 00:32:06 | |
| Number 061020252 SA. | 00:32:16 | |
| Recycling LLC for an initial term of. | 00:32:21 | |
| January 6th. | 00:32:24 | |
| 26 to January. | 00:32:26 | |
| 527. | 00:32:27 | |
| Good morning, Aaron. | 00:32:29 | |
| Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Supervisor Klein, Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:32:31 | |
| As part of the municipal solid waste services that are provided by Hewlett County, we accept scrap metal at our landfills. | 00:32:36 | |
| This ultimately prevents things like freon from going into the landfill. It increases diversion. It saves on airspace. | 00:32:43 | |
| Since early 2025 due to the lack of a. | 00:32:52 | |
| Qualified Recycler. | 00:32:55 | |
| That's been on contract with the county. We've been unable to remove scrap metal. | 00:32:56 | |
| So we came to the board. | 00:33:01 | |
| With this RFP, we went out to bed and we got this proposal from SA Recycling to provide comprehensive scrap metal services to the | 00:33:03 | |
| landfills. | 00:33:07 | |
| This is going to include sorting, bailing, transporting. | 00:33:11 | |
| Free on removal. | 00:33:15 | |
| For our scrap metal at both of our sites for the next calendar year. | 00:33:16 | |
| And be happy. | 00:33:22 | |
| Take any questions. | 00:33:24 | |
| Thank you, Aaron. Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:33:26 | |
| I have no questions, Aaron, just. | 00:33:28 | |
| Congratulations and thank you. I mean. | 00:33:30 | |
| The dumps been a mess. | 00:33:33 | |
| You've come in, you've helped us get rid of this scrap metal, you help bring in shipping. So. | 00:33:34 | |
| Thank you very much for all that you've done for. | 00:33:39 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor. | 00:33:42 | |
| Supervisor client. | 00:33:44 | |
| We have quite a mountain of. | 00:33:45 | |
| Scrap out there, yes. | 00:33:47 | |
| That was impressive. I I looked at it as well. | 00:33:49 | |
| Yeah. Thanks for putting this together on. | 00:33:53 | |
| I'm kind of excited. Maybe we have a recycler we can get some money from instead of just giving it away and letting it walk out | 00:33:56 | |
| our gates. | 00:33:59 | |
| And so I think that's a huge improvement, so. | 00:34:03 | |
| But furthermore. | 00:34:06 | |
| And that is going forward, it's somewhere along the way, I'd like to sit down with you and Christine. | 00:34:08 | |
| And talk about other options. | 00:34:14 | |
| Versus contracting this out? | 00:34:17 | |
| Hello work session. | 00:34:19 | |
| Hello, work session. Yeah, that'd be a good one. I think so. | 00:34:22 | |
| And I agree, Supervisor, I think that if we pursue it the right way, I think there's good feasibility in the county doing that. | 00:34:25 | |
| And depending on. | 00:34:32 | |
| You know how the scrap metal prices move over time? The county. | 00:34:34 | |
| Might be able to come out from that. | 00:34:38 | |
| You know financially pretty well for what we might invest in. | 00:34:41 | |
| And that would just be more money that would be able to support our. | 00:34:44 | |
| Our landfills. | 00:34:47 | |
| Keep in the back of your mind, because I'll be. | 00:34:49 | |
| Hitting you up and Christine about it and. | 00:34:51 | |
| And like Tim said, this would be. | 00:34:54 | |
| Good work session discussion. | 00:34:56 | |
| So thank you. | 00:34:58 | |
| Thank you, Supervisor. | 00:35:00 | |
| Aaron, I have a question or two so. | 00:35:02 | |
| Oh, how is this set up? Do we pay them to come and do this or do we come to an agreement on? | 00:35:04 | |
| A percentage of what's there. | 00:35:11 | |
| Do we make money? | 00:35:14 | |
| Do we break even? What do we do here? | 00:35:15 | |
| So the the contract itself is not. | 00:35:18 | |
| Costing us anything to have the metal removed. | 00:35:20 | |
| The company that's coming in, they're furnishing their own people, their own baler, their own trucks. | 00:35:23 | |
| They're handling all of the hauling as well as the freon removal from all the white goods, the sorting. | 00:35:28 | |
| I believe and I would have to. | 00:35:35 | |
| To check the contract proposal itself, but I think that the. | 00:35:37 | |
| Flat rate that was in there was for all the mixed metal that was $11.00 a net ton. | 00:35:41 | |
| With no costs going out. | 00:35:47 | |
| We're making, we have the money that we take in over the scale when the metal comes in. | 00:35:49 | |
| And then we're making that money from the hauler to buy it. | 00:35:54 | |
| From us to take it to a recycle. | 00:35:56 | |
| So we actually do benefit. | 00:35:59 | |
| Yes, from this process, yes. | 00:36:01 | |
| And, umm. | 00:36:03 | |
| I know it's been a practice, maybe you can help me. This is unrelated. | 00:36:05 | |
| But it is a pertinent question. | 00:36:08 | |
| That we've allowed the public to do some. | 00:36:10 | |
| Scrapping of, I mean. | 00:36:13 | |
| So picking through this pile. | 00:36:15 | |
| On their own. | 00:36:17 | |
| Yes, and I'm worried about liability first of all if they pull something out and Ohio falls on them. | 00:36:18 | |
| And whether or not that's a cost effective way of? | 00:36:25 | |
| Having public property. | 00:36:30 | |
| Utilized. | 00:36:33 | |
| Yes. So the landfill as it stands right now, there is a salvaging ticket process where if somebody were to. | 00:36:34 | |
| Find something that's there they could pay a salvage ticket at the scale and remove that material. | 00:36:42 | |
| However, Christine and I just had a discussion on this subject in the last week or so. | 00:36:47 | |
| And one of the items that we wanted to bring to the board was discussing how we wanted to proceed with that. | 00:36:53 | |
| Going forward. | 00:37:00 | |
| Being that we're getting these contracts in place and sorted out, do we want to ultimately remove? | 00:37:01 | |
| The salvaging ticket process altogether. | 00:37:07 | |
| And say no that material. | 00:37:11 | |
| Can't be removed even if. | 00:37:13 | |
| Follows appropriate safety guidelines or did we want to maybe refresh that and keep it in place? | 00:37:14 | |
| So that is a discussion that we've been having that. | 00:37:20 | |
| We wanted to actually discuss with the board to see. | 00:37:23 | |
| You know what your thoughts were on it. | 00:37:26 | |
| Because in most landfills anymore. | 00:37:28 | |
| Purely from the liability standpoint. | 00:37:31 | |
| In most, not all. | 00:37:34 | |
| I would say better than 95% salvaging is. | 00:37:36 | |
| More or less a thing in the past. | 00:37:39 | |
| But it's. | 00:37:43 | |
| Been something that's kind of came and went in our landfills. | 00:37:44 | |
| Thanks for that clarification. | 00:37:49 | |
| So is that going to be another work session? | 00:37:51 | |
| And we probably do need to have some updates, especially on the brush pile too. We haven't talked about that today. | 00:37:54 | |
| Anyway, let's stick with this one and I'll call for a motion. | 00:37:59 | |
| Mr. Chair, I move to award contract number. | 00:38:03 | |
| 06. | 00:38:06 | |
| 102025. | 00:38:07 | |
| To essay recycling LLC I've presented. | 00:38:10 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 00:38:13 | |
| Motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye. | 00:38:14 | |
| Aye, thank you. Item 2 J is information discussion action to approve amendment #5. | 00:38:17 | |
| To professional services contract 072622. | 00:38:23 | |
| Solid Waste Landfill Services with Steven B Smith. | 00:38:27 | |
| Renewing the term of the contract from January 126. | 00:38:32 | |
| Through December 31. | 00:38:36 | |
| 26. | 00:38:38 | |
| And increasing the maximum compensation for the new term. | 00:38:39 | |
| Can we not to exceed total of 367,840? | 00:38:43 | |
| Dollars. | 00:38:47 | |
| Aaron yes, so. | 00:38:48 | |
| Steven B Smith. | 00:38:51 | |
| Has been on contract as the landfill engineer since 2022. | 00:38:52 | |
| With the option of. | 00:38:57 | |
| Renewing this contract every year through this year, which is the last renewal. | 00:38:59 | |
| They provide our professional services, so basically our. | 00:39:04 | |
| Routine monitoring. | 00:39:09 | |
| Our permit filings with ADQ, they work with us to make sure that a lot of our. | 00:39:11 | |
| Mandated trainings are up-to-date, they do our water sampling, methane monitoring, they do a lot of our design work for | 00:39:17 | |
| infrastructure changes. | 00:39:21 | |
| And assist us. | 00:39:26 | |
| With their records and then for this year, we've actually added in. | 00:39:28 | |
| Part of the reason for the. | 00:39:32 | |
| The way the price increase is now. | 00:39:34 | |
| With a lot of the projects at the landfill, we have them to update and revise the Swifts for the Russell Gulch landfill. | 00:39:37 | |
| Which are already due, and they're going to be due again. | 00:39:43 | |
| As we proceed through with the cell 3B. | 00:39:46 | |
| And then the cleaning liner repair and CQA for the leachate evaporation pond repairs. | 00:39:48 | |
| Providing the CQA and monitoring for the closure of the center pond at Buckhead Mesa. | 00:39:55 | |
| Along with the final piping design and CQA for that. | 00:40:01 | |
| The conceptual design and feasibility studies for the Buckhead Mesa landfill expansion. | 00:40:04 | |
| And the permit drawings and permitting for the Buckhead Mesa? | 00:40:10 | |
| Landfill expansion. Those are the items that are being added. | 00:40:13 | |
| Into that for this year. | 00:40:16 | |
| As we're moving forward with the Townsite Act and. | 00:40:18 | |
| In various repairs on top of the routine monitoring services that they are. | 00:40:21 | |
| Provided I'd be happy to take any questions on that. | 00:40:25 | |
| Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:40:28 | |
| I I guess I have no question. | 00:40:31 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:40:33 | |
| I got one, maybe it's a loaded one but. | 00:40:34 | |
| Anyway, these folks have been with us for a while. | 00:40:37 | |
| And are we currently up to snuff on all of our certificates and inspections and. | 00:40:41 | |
| And all of that. | 00:40:47 | |
| With the exception of this. | 00:40:49 | |
| With the exception of the one Swift for Russell Gulch, we are up to date. | 00:40:52 | |
| On all of our permits and inspections for the items that. | 00:40:57 | |
| I had brought to the board earlier this year that had been lapsed. Those were items that were on the county. | 00:41:02 | |
| And they provided the help to us to get all of that up to date and. | 00:41:08 | |
| OK. So we're we're pretty much back on track. | 00:41:12 | |
| Yes. | 00:41:14 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:41:16 | |
| So Aaron, my question would be some of the. | 00:41:18 | |
| Some of the things you listed seem. | 00:41:21 | |
| Complicated. As if. | 00:41:23 | |
| They should have a professional. | 00:41:25 | |
| And then some of them seemed almost routine. | 00:41:27 | |
| Applying for this or. | 00:41:30 | |
| Having a permit. | 00:41:32 | |
| So can you help me understand why we need to pay for that? | 00:41:36 | |
| Outside of, say, the department doing that themselves. | 00:41:40 | |
| Sure. So the department. | 00:41:44 | |
| So an example of that would be when we do water sampling. | 00:41:47 | |
| Within the department. | 00:41:50 | |
| Every quarter as part of our aquifer protection permits, we go through, we do water sampling of our under drains, our leachate | 00:41:52 | |
| systems. | 00:41:56 | |
| Because we have to make sure that water that goes into the landfill. | 00:42:00 | |
| Essentially stays in the landfill. | 00:42:04 | |
| And water. | 00:42:06 | |
| Comes near the landfill does not. | 00:42:08 | |
| Enter the landfill. That's the most basic way to put it. | 00:42:10 | |
| And one of the ways that we ensure that our landfill systems are not leaking, that they're not getting in any waterways as we draw | 00:42:13 | |
| water samples every week. | 00:42:17 | |
| Through multiple different sites at both facilities and then every. | 00:42:22 | |
| Order. All of those different volumes have to be put together. | 00:42:25 | |
| Into reports that are sent over to AD Q for approval. | 00:42:30 | |
| Because we have. | 00:42:33 | |
| Basically acceptable rates of things like suspended solids. | 00:42:35 | |
| Acceptable leakage rates that are all within our permit. | 00:42:39 | |
| So the work that they do is the landfill staff. | 00:42:42 | |
| They will actually go through. | 00:42:46 | |
| They will run the pumping. They will pull the water sample. | 00:42:49 | |
| And they will keep all of the logs up to date, tracking the water volume. | 00:42:53 | |
| Those logs are then submitted at the end of the quarter to our engineers. | 00:42:58 | |
| Who go through they run all the calculations. | 00:43:03 | |
| They prepare the final reports. | 00:43:06 | |
| They make sure that the lab results are coming back for water that we have to have tested every quarter. | 00:43:08 | |
| And they're compiling that into a report that goes to ADEQ. | 00:43:14 | |
| And they do that same. | 00:43:18 | |
| Process when we go through things. | 00:43:20 | |
| Methane monitoring and tracking. | 00:43:23 | |
| So there's parts of it that we perform, and then there's parts of it as required by a. | 00:43:25 | |
| A qualified engineer that they're. | 00:43:30 | |
| OK. All right. Thank you for that explanation. And with that, if there's no more questions at all? | 00:43:32 | |
| Promotion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve amendment #5 to. | 00:43:39 | |
| National Services contract number 072622. | 00:43:44 | |
| For Stephen B Smith, as presented. | 00:43:48 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that. | 00:43:51 | |
| Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. | 00:43:53 | |
| Hi. Thank you, Aaron. | 00:43:56 | |
| Thank you supervisors today. | 00:43:58 | |
| Information discussion. Action to adopt resolution number 260102. | 00:44:01 | |
| Declaring that. | 00:44:06 | |
| Declaring that should there be a shortfall in Section 8 housing assist. | 00:44:09 | |
| Payment funding for the fiscal year ending 2025. | 00:44:15 | |
| Which could result in the termination of assistance to. | 00:44:19 | |
| Assisted. | 00:44:22 | |
| Families and grant. | 00:44:23 | |
| Permission. Umm. | 00:44:24 | |
| Use unrestricted net position. | 00:44:25 | |
| In an amount not to exceed $15,000 to avoid. | 00:44:28 | |
| This outcome? | 00:44:32 | |
| Good morning, Paula. | 00:44:33 | |
| Good morning, Chairman, members of the Board. | 00:44:35 | |
| Friday is one of our programs that does Section 8 vouchers. | 00:44:38 | |
| And this item went around a few times. | 00:44:42 | |
| The County Attorney and. | 00:44:47 | |
| But the clerk's trying to get the wording correct. | 00:44:48 | |
| HUD does require this resolution. | 00:44:50 | |
| To move line items. | 00:44:53 | |
| So that's what. | 00:44:54 | |
| That's really what your. | 00:44:55 | |
| What you're talking about the unrestricted? | 00:44:58 | |
| Amount of money will be an administ. | 00:45:01 | |
| Cost. So do you? Would you like me to read the resolution? | 00:45:04 | |
| Not unless the other two would like that. | 00:45:11 | |
| OK. | 00:45:13 | |
| So any questions, Supervisor Humphrey? | 00:45:14 | |
| I have no question. | 00:45:17 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:45:18 | |
| I'm I'm good. | 00:45:19 | |
| Yeah, I'm, I'm good as well, Paula, thank you. With that, I'll call for a motion. | 00:45:20 | |
| Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt resolution #26-01-02. | 00:45:24 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll second that motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye, aye, aye. | 00:45:29 | |
| All right. Item 2L is information, discussion and action Approve amendment #1 to the RGA number. | 00:45:34 | |
| DI 25. | 00:45:40 | |
| 002432. | 00:45:42 | |
| Between the Arizona Department of Economic Security and the Hilton Community Services Division. | 00:45:45 | |
| Revising the budget to $325,579. | 00:45:50 | |
| Cents, including $85,000 for eviction prevention. | 00:45:54 | |
| That must be fully expended by June 30th. | 00:45:58 | |
| 2026. | 00:46:02 | |
| Paula, yes, this is also a budget that we have had in the past. | 00:46:03 | |
| And this is. | 00:46:08 | |
| They're going to continue to add more money. | 00:46:10 | |
| Found when the government did the shutdown, we were only given a certain amount of money. | 00:46:13 | |
| And this is just adding the money that we were funded initially. | 00:46:17 | |
| So we'll come back probably with a couple more. | 00:46:21 | |
| Amendments. | 00:46:24 | |
| And 85,000 is actually new money for the eviction and we're really excited to have that especially. | 00:46:26 | |
| With all the flooding and everything going on throughout the. | 00:46:31 | |
| These communities that we were able to use this addiction. | 00:46:34 | |
| Eviction prevention funding. | 00:46:38 | |
| So thank you for. | 00:46:39 | |
| Looking into this and. | 00:46:42 | |
| Improving it, I can follow Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:46:43 | |
| I have no question, Supervisor, client. Thank you, Paula. Thank you, Paula. | 00:46:46 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to. | 00:46:51 | |
| Approve amendment #1 to intergovernmental agreement. | 00:46:53 | |

| Haley, good to see you. | 00:47:49 | |
| Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Supervisors, it's nice to see you all. | 00:47:51 | |
| So we recently brought you the Safe Streets for All contracts with Community Alliance Consulting. | 00:47:55 | |
| Shortly after that we were awarded some additional funding for Safe Routes to School, which goes really well with Safe Streets for | 00:48:00 | |
| All. | 00:48:04 | |
| So we've expanded their scope. | 00:48:08 | |
| To include that safe routes to school. | 00:48:09 | |
| Initiative added some administrative funding for them. | 00:48:12 | |
| And then their state contract was removed through the end of 2026. | 00:48:16 | |

| Which is our reports manager. | 00:49:56 | |
| Mr. Chairman, just one thing I wanted to bring to your attention. I attended the ADOT. | 00:50:00 | |
| Board of Directors. | 00:50:04 | |
| In December, they were discussing as part of their ADOPT board meeting. | 00:50:05 | |
| They're doing a statewide. | 00:50:10 | |
| Traveling. | 00:50:13 | |
| Traveling tour to here. | 00:50:15 | |
| Input from. | 00:50:17 | |
| Residents of the various location areas. | 00:50:18 | |
| Of Gila County. | 00:50:21 | |
| When they were discussing the. | 00:50:22 | |
| Areas that they had. | 00:50:23 | |
| Scheduled. | 00:50:25 | |
| For doing this presentation of this discussion. | 00:50:26 | |
| They did not include any locations in Gila County, so I. | 00:50:29 | |
| Made sure to get to the director of. | 00:50:33 | |
| There at that meeting and said. | 00:50:37 | |
| We are more than willing to host a dot here in Gila County and. | 00:50:38 | |
| Look forward to scheduling some time and if they need to. | 00:50:42 | |
| Coordinator that we would be glad to as. | 00:50:44 | |
| Gonna kind of do that. | 00:50:46 | |
| I received an e-mail this morning. | 00:50:47 | |
| Looking for a time that we can get together to schedule those meetings with Ada. | 00:50:49 | |
| To discuss our transportation needs. | 00:50:53 | |
| With to have input to the ADOT board so. | 00:50:55 | |
| One of the reports that that'll be coming up. | 00:50:58 | |
| Thank you. | 00:51:01 | |
| Thank you. Pleasure. | 00:51:02 | |
| UH held A-Team project. | 00:51:05 | |
| Review meeting with Public Works. | 00:51:08 | |
| On the 31st. | 00:51:10 | |
| I went on a site visit with. | 00:51:12 | |
| The team's team. | 00:51:14 | |
| When Michael, Josh. | 00:51:16 | |
| Jeff and Brian. | 00:51:18 | |
| The two arrow some water issues. | 00:51:20 | |
| Water leak issues. | 00:51:24 | |
| And we think it's the city, but it's in the county, so. | 00:51:27 | |
| Working with the city. I have a meeting with Paul Jefferson coming up tomorrow. | 00:51:30 | |
| To discuss some of what we had found. | 00:51:34 | |
| When we did a site visit. | 00:51:36 | |
| And I'll hold the tunnel based on community meeting. | 00:51:38 | |
| Tonight at 5. | 00:51:41 | |
| Thank you. Whether. | 00:51:43 | |
| Fine. Thank you, Mr. Chair. | 00:51:45 | |
| Just prior to the holidays, I had a discussion with Congressman. | 00:51:47 | |
| You like cream? | 00:51:51 | |
| A really good visit with him. | 00:51:53 | |
| I thinking for his support and leadership and getting us the. | 00:51:56 | |
| Secure school. | 00:51:59 | |
| Honey and all he had done there, and also his support on the pill. | 00:52:01 | |
| Programs as well. | 00:52:05 | |
| We talked about some other projects that's coming up. One of them is with the Tunnel Apaches proposal for the. | 00:52:07 | |
| Land acquisition. | 00:52:13 | |
| Around a patient. | 00:52:15 | |
| So I've had some pretty good discussions over that. | 00:52:17 | |
| And overall it was good. I've got meetings set up with him. | 00:52:21 | |
| When we go to DC little later on and. | 00:52:26 | |
| And so that's it, Mr. Chair. | 00:52:30 | |
| Thank you. | 00:52:32 | |
| Well, it's over the holidays. | 00:52:35 | |
| A little bit of this and a little bit of that. | 00:52:38 | |
| So I noticed you included this in my packet. This is information on. | 00:52:40 | |
| Insurance companies that are willing to. | 00:52:47 | |
| Provide fire insurance. | 00:52:51 | |
| To homeowners. | 00:52:55 | |
| Where that seems to be. | 00:52:57 | |
| You know, troubling to a lot of people. | 00:53:00 | |
| And so I have that information if anyone would like. | 00:53:02 | |
| Have that. | 00:53:05 | |
| Didn't we share that with you guys though already? | 00:53:07 | |
| Did we share that? Yeah, OK. | 00:53:10 | |
| And then? | 00:53:12 | |
| I've been invited to the 30th annual Legislative Day. | 00:53:13 | |
| January 20th, I'll be going to that. | 00:53:18 | |
| And also the govern. | 00:53:22 | |
| Wanting to come to Gila County which I think is good. | 00:53:25 | |
| You come to Payson at the casino and give the state of the state address again. | 00:53:29 | |
| And so I'll know more information about that tomorrow. | 00:53:35 | |
| And of course, we would all be invited. | 00:53:39 | |
| To attend that. | 00:53:42 | |
| And so I think it's a. | 00:53:44 | |
| It's good that the governor wants to come to Gila County and when she has other choices, so. | 00:53:47 | |
| That that works out good. The chamber is kind of sponsoring that or putting that together. | 00:53:52 | |
| Other than that, yes Sir. | 00:53:58 | |
| Mr. Chairman, I apologize, but could I have Mr. O'Driscoll come up and. | 00:54:00 | |
| The declaration of emergency was denied. | 00:54:05 | |
| By FEMA. | 00:54:08 | |
| Yeah, you've gotten that notice, but. | 00:54:09 | |
| If I could get Mr. O'Driscoll to give us an update on water options are on what's going on with the state? | 00:54:13 | |
| Fatima and that because that's. | 00:54:17 | |
| Well, let me if that's OK, I have Mr. Rodrigo have a report on. | 00:54:19 | |
| Yeah, and that was my report anyway. So come on up, Michael. | 00:54:23 | |
| Thank you, Chairman and members of the Board and. | 00:54:28 | |
| So. | 00:54:31 | |
| Karl Malford participated in a. | 00:54:33 | |
| DEMA strategy meeting. | 00:54:37 | |
| Probably about an hour and a half ago. | 00:54:39 | |
| To talk about the declaration being denied by FEMA. | 00:54:41 | |
| I forwarded that information to all of your inboxes, but. | 00:54:46 | |
| I'll just go ahead and read it. | 00:54:50 | |
| Out loud if that's OK. | 00:54:51 | |
| Carl wanted to provide an update from today's strategy meeting with Dima. | 00:54:55 | |
| The focus of the meeting was to develop a. | 00:55:00 | |
| Coordinated approach for appealing FEMA's denial of our federal declaration request for the September flooding events. | 00:55:02 | |
| The State of Arizona will be leading the appeal and drafting the final letter with Gila County supporting. | 00:55:09 | |
| By supplying key documentation. | 00:55:15 | |
| The strategy developed in this meeting centers on leveraging social vulnerability data. | 00:55:18 | |
| To demonstrate significant unmet needs in both Gila and Mojave counties. | 00:55:23 | |
| Which were greatly affected by the floods. | 00:55:28 | |
| In addition, the state plans to highlight its record of supporting disaster incidents. | 00:55:30 | |
| Including assistance from the. | 00:55:35 | |
| Provided following Telegraph fire through House Bill 2001. | 00:55:37 | |
| And that was the funding, if you recall, that we used to help the residents and businesses recover from the Telegraph fire and | 00:55:41 | |
| flooding after that. | 00:55:44 | |
| He the county Emergency Management will also. | 00:55:50 | |
| Work this effort by providing documentation to Gila County's record of being self-sufficient through lower level disasters in the | 00:55:52 | |
| past. | 00:55:56 | |
| That seems to be the direction the federal government is wanting states to take, to take care of your own business first. | 00:56:00 | |
| And then come to them afterwards so. | 00:56:06 | |
| We're trying to document that as Gila County. In the past, especially 6-7 years, we've done an exceptional job. | 00:56:08 | |
| In handling these massive disasters on our own. | 00:56:15 | |
| From residents and and within. | 00:56:19 | |
| County government. So we're trying to at least let the federal government know that. | 00:56:21 | |
| We've become extremely. | 00:56:26 | |
| Good at taking care of our own. | 00:56:28 | |
| Evacuations and fire support here. | 00:56:31 | |
| This will also include presenting the challenges. | 00:56:35 | |
| By having multiple flooding events in a short period of time, essentially disrupting and prolonging recovery efforts. | 00:56:38 | |
| So that's the strategy we're going to take on Gila County side with Emergency Management and the assistance of. | 00:56:45 | |
| Public Works, Christine and. | 00:56:52 | |
| In Carl, but we do have to work with the state. | 00:56:54 | |
| They're leading the appeal process. That's the. | 00:56:57 | |
| That's the law in this particular case. | 00:57:01 | |
| So we're doing whatever we can to support DIMA. | 00:57:04 | |
| And DIMA is working with the governor's office to see if we can appeal this. | 00:57:06 | |
| And get it overturned. | 00:57:11 | |
| And I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. | 00:57:12 | |
| Thank you, Michael. Supervisor Humphrey. | 00:57:15 | |
| I have I have no questions. I. | 00:57:17 | |
| Appreciate the appeal. | 00:57:20 | |
| Especially after. | 00:57:22 | |
| Many, many uncontrolled fires. | 00:57:24 | |
| In our area. | 00:57:27 | |
| I would, I would very much like to see this overturned because. | 00:57:29 | |
| I do believe that a lot of that is a lot of the. | 00:57:34 | |
| Or a lot of our blood. | 00:57:37 | |
| Yes and just. | 00:57:39 | |
| To follow up on that comment, supervisor, members of the board. | 00:57:41 | |
| There was a. | 00:57:44 | |
| You know the threshold to. | 00:57:45 | |
| For federal declarations, about is $13 million. | 00:57:47 | |
| And we've documented. | 00:57:52 | |
| Approximately $30 million worth of damage. | 00:57:53 | |
| But has also. | 00:57:56 | |
| Added to that, so they bumped it from 30 to about $100 million in damages across the state in Gila County. | 00:57:58 | |
| So that's the figure that we're going to. | 00:58:05 | |
| Team is going to go in the state of Arizona is going to go back to female whip. | 00:58:07 | |
| So and if you want. | 00:58:11 | |
| Any other information, specifics on that 100 million? | 00:58:13 | |
| I'm going to ask Carl to go ahead and send that out to you if you would like. | 00:58:16 | |
| It's a pleasure climate. | 00:58:21 | |
| Just a wedding game. | 00:58:22 | |
| But I do appreciate the governor for pushing on. | 00:58:24 | |
| Appealing that decision. | 00:58:27 | |
| And so hopefully. | 00:58:29 | |
| It will get overturned and. | 00:58:31 | |
| Rainbow planted. | 00:58:34 | |
| That's that's a big task for us as a county right there. | 00:58:36 | |
| It's a financially devastating to us and almost minuscule amount of money. | 00:58:39 | |
| To the federal government. | 00:58:45 | |
| That they're used to spending billions on. | 00:58:46 | |
| Disasters. | 00:58:48 | |
| So it's it's. | 00:58:49 | |
| Yeah. Thank you for all your effort. | 00:58:52 | |
| Thank you for that report. | 00:58:54 | |
| Anything else? | 00:58:57 | |
| If there's nothing else, then we are adjourned. | 00:59:00 | |
| Thank you. | 00:59:02 |
