| Good morning, the Chairman. In terms of the. | 00:01:19 | |
| My name is Paul Albert. I'm the Interim Electric. | 00:01:22 | |
| Okay, Supervisor Klein, do you have? | 00:01:34 | |
| Questions. Did everything go good? | 00:01:36 | |
| Everything went just just according to everything we had planned. | 00:01:39 | |
| We had a some storms, we had just some minor. | 00:01:43 | |
| Just tiny issues, but everything, everything. | 00:01:47 | |
| Good. Thank you. | 00:01:50 | |
| Supervisor Christian. | 00:01:52 | |
| Thank you. | 00:01:54 | |
| Do you have new machines this year? | 00:01:55 | |
| We had new poll books. The counting machine is the same and and the. | 00:01:57 | |
| Express port which is the one that we use for. | 00:02:02 | |
| The the the visual visually impaired. | 00:02:04 | |
| Those are the same, but the machines that we use for the the loader. | 00:02:08 | |
| At the polling place. | 00:02:12 | |
| Those where people check in, those aren't you. | 00:02:13 | |
| And the ballot printing conditions also. | 00:02:16 | |
| OK, that all went well. | 00:02:19 | |
| Yes, it was the first time we were using it. We had an ESNS. | 00:02:21 | |
| A tech here with us and he applies support where everything went. | 00:02:26 | |
| Just OK. | 00:02:29 | |
| That's all I have. Thank you. | 00:02:30 | |
| OK, yeah. And and I didn't reach out to you earlier, but I think the day after the election I reached out to. | 00:02:32 | |
| County Manager. | 00:02:38 | |
| Mr. O'riscoll I I received a call from the. | 00:02:41 | |
| Mayor of Globe and from the mayor of Miami asking me about. | 00:02:45 | |
| They said something about a. | 00:02:50 | |
| He said they didn't know the rumor or where it started, but there was. | 00:02:52 | |
| Something in like 150 ballots that weren't counted. | 00:02:55 | |
| That day or something. | 00:02:58 | |
| So we have people online and we have people that may have the same questions that the marriage did. | 00:03:00 | |
| And so if you could maybe kind of. | 00:03:06 | |
| Enlighten me on that. So I. | 00:03:08 | |
| Constantly have communications with all the clerks. So that e-mail. I mean that information was probably from the e-mail I sent. | 00:03:10 | |
| I provide updates every single day. | 00:03:16 | |
| Of what we were doing and the progress we've made with the county about so. | 00:03:18 | |
| I imagine. | 00:03:22 | |
| It was. | 00:03:24 | |
| Probably the day, not the day after the election, but probably on that. | 00:03:25 | |
| For that Thursday morning, because I told him that we had. | 00:03:28 | |
| Around 150 ballots that had to be duplicated. That's just normal process. | 00:03:31 | |
| That we do for the male in. | 00:03:36 | |
| Ballots. So somebody sends a balloting. | 00:03:38 | |
| And they've already in their. | 00:03:41 | |
| Sometimes you'll have. | 00:03:43 | |
| Stains and that will be damaged. | 00:03:44 | |
| We had some that were water damaged and, and, and sometimes they're going to have water intent. So sometimes. | 00:03:46 | |
| Somebody. | 00:03:51 | |
| Both for two. | 00:03:52 | |
| Candidates. | 00:03:54 | |
| But only one of them is the actual one that they wanted, so they may come up on the ballot. | 00:03:55 | |
| And then that way telling us, you know what I wanted kind of a instead of. | 00:03:58 | |
| So those we have to. | 00:04:03 | |
| Duplication. This is a manual process. We have a board. We have a Republican, Democrat. | 00:04:05 | |
| And they see the ballot and then they have a new ballot and they transfer those votes. The ballot votes. | 00:04:09 | |
| Onto the new ballot and those. | 00:04:14 | |
| But it has. It's a process and it takes time. | 00:04:15 | |
| So when we tabulated the bulk, the 99% of everything that we had. | 00:04:18 | |
| We still have a remaining $150.00 that night. | 00:04:22 | |
| And it was already like 8:00 or 9:00 PM. | 00:04:24 | |
| So we just sent an e-mail saying. | 00:04:26 | |
| These will differ in the morning as soon as we get in. | 00:04:28 | |
| Process those. | 00:04:30 | |
| And we looked at the results coordinate. | 00:04:31 | |
| That was but, but it's part of the process. | 00:04:33 | |
| Yeah. And and a lot of those were mail in. | 00:04:36 | |
| Well, actually all of them were. All of them were mailed in. And when they come in and you see that there's an issue with them, | 00:04:38 | |
| they just set those aside. | 00:04:43 | |
| So you can continue with the other one. | 00:04:47 | |
| And we could. | 00:04:49 | |
| And then you work on that. | 00:04:50 | |
| Thank you very much for the explanation, because like I said, I did have. | 00:04:52 | |
| A couple calls. So thank you for the e-mail that that was sent out so people knew so that there wasn't anything. | 00:04:56 | |
| And we update everybody. So I send that e-mail to all the clerks and also people that call and they want to be part of the update. | 00:05:03 | |
| In the comedy. And then we'll just send those emails along with everybody else. It's 100% transparent. | 00:05:10 | |
| Yes, thank you very, very much for that and for. | 00:05:14 | |
| For answering that for me SO. | 00:05:18 | |
| If there's no further questions. | 00:05:21 | |
| I got 1. | 00:05:23 | |
| OK, go ahead Alfonso. Always our turn out this year. | 00:05:24 | |
| We have the. | 00:05:28 | |
| What percentage was it was 30? | 00:05:30 | |
| We had 38. | 00:05:33 | |
| .5%. | 00:05:36 | |
| 38. | 00:05:37 | |
| And it's about a thing was like a 10% drop. | 00:05:38 | |
| From the previous. | 00:05:41 | |
| But it was across the state. | 00:05:42 | |
| That was a 10%, but we were still second in the state for turn out. | 00:05:44 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:05:47 | |
| OK. If there's no further questions, I will. | 00:05:50 | |
| Call for emotion. | 00:05:53 | |

| Dash GC3 with Empire. | 00:08:52 | |
| Southwest LLC for 2026. | 00:08:56 | |
| Caterpillar. | 00:08:59 | |
| 826 land. | 00:09:01 | |
| Compactor. | 00:09:03 | |
| Lease purchase for the period of seven years for total. | 00:09:04 | |
| Amount not to exceed 1,000,000. | 00:09:08 | |
| $300,708.08. | 00:09:11 | |
| Plus. | 00:09:15 | |
| Applicable. | 00:09:18 | |
| Sales tax. | 00:09:18 | |
| Mr. Troy White, good morning. | 00:09:20 | |
| Good morning, Chairman, Board of Supervisors. | 00:09:22 | |
| Pretty simple, this is just to buy a brand new compactor for the landfill. I think this is the first new piece in about 15 years. | 00:09:26 | |
| Our existing compactor is pretty old. | 00:09:32 | |
| We get a lot of breakdowns with it. | 00:09:35 | |
| And #1 issue with it is it's too light. | 00:09:36 | |
| As you know, in the previous presentation we did to the board, that has a lot to do with myself 3. | 00:09:40 | |
| 8 filled up too quickly. | 00:09:45 | |
| By getting this compactor is going to ensure us that the new cell 3B doesn't have those same issues. | 00:09:47 | |
| And that the life of that cell 3D can go on for 15 plus years. This goes a long way in ensuring that because it's the right size. | 00:09:52 | |
| The right way to get the right compaction on the landfill so. | 00:09:59 | |
| Multifaceted reason why we need this compactor, the old ones breaking down on us all the time. | 00:10:03 | |
| Agent out. It's too light. | 00:10:09 | |
| And this one will ensure the longevity of the new cell. 3B. | 00:10:11 | |
| And with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have. | 00:10:14 | |
| Supervisor. | 00:10:18 | |
| Tell me where we can do it. The old. | 00:10:19 | |
| Compactor he's. | 00:10:21 | |
| Getting rid of it or keeping it? | 00:10:22 | |
| No, we're going to keep it. | 00:10:24 | |
| It's it's good to be used in in real tight spaces. | 00:10:25 | |
| Where we get especially to finish out three A as we work up the tone and it gets tighter. | 00:10:28 | |
| There is a purpose for these lighter, smaller compactors. | 00:10:34 | |
| So we do plan on keeping that using it for those purposes. | 00:10:37 | |
| So this. | 00:10:41 | |
| Seven years. | 00:10:42 | |
| On this lease. | 00:10:44 | |
| Empire will do all the. | 00:10:46 | |
| Maintenance on it. | 00:10:48 | |
| Mechanical work. | 00:10:49 | |
| That's correct. That's the beautiful thing about these leases. | 00:10:50 | |
| Because they will do all the maintenance on this for the seven years. | 00:10:53 | |
| Correct. Thanks, Troy. | 00:10:56 | |
| You're welcome. | 00:10:57 | |
| Supervisor Christensen, thank you. Yeah, Troy, we need two of these. We already talked about it. | 00:10:59 | |
| But this will be our first one. | 00:11:04 | |
| Now, is it significantly heavier like? | 00:11:05 | |
| Tons and tons heavier. Is that the secret to this one? It is. It's significantly heavier. I don't know the exact tonnage over, but | 00:11:08 | |
| it's significantly different and significantly larger. | 00:11:13 | |
| We get more compaction. | 00:11:18 | |
| More longevity. | 00:11:20 | |
| It pays for itself. | 00:11:21 | |
| Oh, overtime, yeah, it will pays for itself, yes. | 00:11:22 | |
| Thank you. You're welcome. | 00:11:26 | |
| And I have no questions. If there's no further questions, I'll call for a motion. | 00:11:28 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll move to approve contract #212816-01-GC3. | 00:11:32 | |
| That the Empire Southwest LLC is presented. | 00:11:40 | |
| I will second. | 00:11:43 | |
| Motion in a second. All in favor. Do so by saying aye, aye aye. | 00:11:45 | |
| I passes unanimous. | 00:11:49 | |
| OK. Moving on to the information discussion action to ratify previous. | 00:11:52 | |
| Expenditures and authorized future expenditures. | 00:11:57 | |
| With Payson Concrete and Material incorporated. | 00:12:01 | |
| For the purchase and delivery of certified aggregate. | 00:12:05 | |
| For county maintained for service roads. | 00:12:10 | |
| In the amount not to exceed. | 00:12:13 | |
| 754,600. | 00:12:15 | |
| And $82. | 00:12:19 | |
| Thank you, Chairman, Board of Supervisors. | 00:12:21 | |
| This is exactly what it's forced to get Aggregate from patient concrete this is. | 00:12:23 | |
| 100% reimbursable by the Forest Service. So that's $754,682. | 00:12:28 | |
| Is going to come directly back to us. | 00:12:34 | |
| Once we invoice the Forest Service. | 00:12:36 | |
| And this is really to maintain those Forest Service roads, specifically the Control Rd. but there's other roads that we're going | 00:12:39 | |
| to be using the material on as well. | 00:12:42 | |
| We need to have this spent. | 00:12:47 | |
| By the end of September because Forest Service needs to use this for their current fiscal year. | 00:12:48 | |
| So. | 00:12:55 | |
| By approving this today, we don't see any issues with. | 00:12:57 | |
| Getting this moving forward and getting this material delivered by the the end of September so that we can. | 00:13:00 | |
| Fully utilized this gift of 754,682 from the Forest Service. | 00:13:06 | |
| And would that I'd be happy to answer any questions. | 00:13:11 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:13:14 | |
| Troy, we can run right up to the end of September on this or does the feds have a cutoff? | 00:13:15 | |
| Earlier in September for their fiscal year. | 00:13:20 | |
| As long as they're invoiced by the end of September. | 00:13:22 | |
| Then we're good to go to the end of September, but we have to have that last invoice submitted by the end of September, so. | 00:13:26 | |
| We need to be getting them from patient concrete to get them over by the end of that date, so. | 00:13:32 | |
| If we move down, we're in good shape to make this happen. | 00:13:37 | |
| Yeah, we should move. | 00:13:40 | |
| Quite a while back, but. | 00:13:41 | |
| This this is a start. | 00:13:43 | |
| The right direction. We got a little jump start. | 00:13:45 | |
| That we weren't supposed to get but. | 00:13:47 | |
| Anyways, yeah, we're a little heavy game. Thank you. | 00:13:49 | |
| Thank you. | 00:13:52 | |
| Supervisor Christian. | 00:13:53 | |
| Thank you. Are we allowed to? | 00:13:54 | |
| Pay for the material from Payson Concrete and. | 00:13:56 | |
| Pick it up, say, all the way into November. | 00:14:00 | |
| I mean, if we run out of time, we could. | 00:14:03 | |
| Pay for the material, just not have it delivered yet. | 00:14:06 | |
| Supervisor Christian, that's a good .1 of the things that we're going to keep an eye on is and I've talked to Wayne and his. | 00:14:11 | |
| If it looks like we're running. | 00:14:18 | |
| Well, as we've already talked to painted concrete, we're going to be able to send our guys with our trucks over here to pick it | 00:14:20 | |
| up. | 00:14:23 | |
| We really want to have it done by the end of September. | 00:14:26 | |
| And we think we can make that happen without using our guys. But if we see we're running close to the finish line. | 00:14:29 | |
| Then we'll send our guys out there and start pick up as well, so. | 00:14:35 | |
| Oh, this is granite. | 00:14:38 | |
| It's not. | 00:14:39 | |
| I'm not sure of the exact. | 00:14:42 | |
| Mix that they required. I think that's somewhere on the staff report, but it's. | 00:14:44 | |
| It's the exact material that the Forest Service wants us to use on their Forest Service Rd. | 00:14:49 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:14:53 | |
| So all of this material is going up in the north part of Gila County. | 00:14:57 | |
| I believe we can. We're stocking it at several pets and we can use it on. | 00:15:02 | |
| You know, whatever roads we need to use it, I know the majority of it's going up there. I wouldn't say, oh, it's going to go up on | 00:15:08 | |
| the northern. | 00:15:11 | |
| Part of the county, but. | 00:15:14 | |
| I think we're going to use it. | 00:15:15 | |
| On roads throughout the county. | 00:15:17 | |
| But the majority of it's going to go for the control road and. | 00:15:18 | |
| The 64. | 00:15:22 | |
| I believe it is that Wayne was telling me is. | 00:15:23 | |
| The the contract that we have with the floor service was for the Control Rd. | 00:15:26 | |
| So that's why. | 00:15:31 | |
| The majority of it is going to be used on the Control Rd. because that's specifically the. | 00:15:33 | |
| The contract with the forest services for that road. | 00:15:38 | |
| But we know that we're going to have more than we need there, so we're going to stockpile it and use it on other. | 00:15:41 | |
| Roads throughout the county. | 00:15:45 | |
| OK. Yeah. This is for the four service roads that we maintain. | 00:15:47 | |
| Correct. | 00:15:50 | |
| And so we maintain 4 service roads in southern Halo County as well. | 00:15:51 | |
| Correct. Yeah, there's a specific contract we have with them. | 00:15:55 | |
| For the control Rd. | 00:15:58 | |
| That this funding is coming off of that contract for the work we were doing on Control Rd. that the forces was paying for, but. | 00:16:00 | |
| We do plan on having. | 00:16:08 | |
| Excess material that we can use throughout the county. | 00:16:09 | |
| Oh yeah, I would appreciate that. | 00:16:14 | |
| If there's no further questions, I'll call for a motion. | 00:16:18 | |
| Mr. Chair moved to ratify previous expenditures and authorized huge. | 00:16:21 | |
| Future expenditures were patient, concrete material. | 00:16:25 | |
| Incorporated for the purchase and delivery of certified aggregate for county maintained Forest Service roads in the amount not to | 00:16:28 | |
| exceed. | 00:16:32 | |
| $754,682. | 00:16:35 | |
| I'll second that. | 00:16:39 | |
| OK, Yeah, next time if we do a. | 00:16:43 | |
| Something like this? | 00:16:45 | |
| Just, you know, instead of, say, for service roads. | 00:16:46 | |
| Just say it's for the control Rd. | 00:16:50 | |
| Because this is force roads, service roads. | 00:16:52 | |
| Is extremely misleading. | 00:16:54 | |
| Yes, Sir, understand. | 00:16:56 | |
| OK. All right. We have a motion a second. All in favor say aye. | 00:16:57 | |
| Aye, all right. | 00:17:03 | |
| Aye. Motion approved unanimously. | 00:17:05 | |
| OK, moving on. | 00:17:08 | |
| The next item is to approve consent Agenda item 3. | 00:17:10 | |
| A. Does anyone want to? | 00:17:14 | |
| Remove consent agenda item. | 00:17:18 | |
| 3A and discuss it as a. | 00:17:22 | |
| Action item. | 00:17:25 | |
| No, thank you. | 00:17:27 | |
| OK, then I will call for a motion. | 00:17:29 | |
| To approve consent Agenda item 3A so moved. | 00:17:32 | |
| Second, having a motion a second all in favor, say. | 00:17:38 | |
| I, I I. | 00:17:43 | |
| I consent agenda item. | 00:17:44 | |
| 3. | 00:17:47 | |
| Passes unanimous. | 00:17:49 | |
| Going on to work session. | 00:17:51 | |
| For a information discussion. | 00:17:54 | |
| On the feasibility. | 00:17:58 | |
| An estimated cost. | 00:18:00 | |
| Of adding a secondary. | 00:18:03 | |
| Internet connection. | 00:18:06 | |
| For county buildings. | 00:18:08 | |
| Redundant Internet. | 00:18:11 | |
| Connection, yeah. | 00:18:13 | |
| For helicopter. | 00:18:14 | |
| Thank you, Kerry. | 00:18:22 | |
| Good morning, Chairman. Supervisors, I have Tom Holman with me also. | 00:18:33 | |
| Is or of knowledge on our environment here, so I brought him in. | 00:18:38 | |
| We currently have two endpoints with the counter. We have two endpoint main endpoints with the county. | 00:18:43 | |
| The two maintenance points that we have is our courthouse here. | 00:18:48 | |
| Our courthouse people don't realize that when you if the connection at the courthouse goes down, it doesn't only. | 00:18:53 | |
| Connect the courthouse. | 00:18:58 | |
| It. | 00:19:00 | |
| I'm gonna go back again. | 00:19:02 | |
| The Guerrero building, The copper building. | 00:19:05 | |
| The SO admin building the SO patrol building, the SO jail. | 00:19:07 | |
| So our connections not only. | 00:19:11 | |
| Control the connections here in the courthouse. | 00:19:13 | |
| It can. It controls a lot of your connections. | 00:19:16 | |
| On the outer lane ones, because we have fiber running to all of those locations, it also if our connection. | 00:19:18 | |
| Goes down here. | 00:19:24 | |
| It also effects Payson. | 00:19:25 | |
| Because any of our servers or anything that we have. | 00:19:27 | |
| Here, if our connection goes down, they no longer have access to their files. | 00:19:30 | |
| They no longer have access to their applications. | 00:19:34 | |
| So and then in the Payson your TCM building. | 00:19:38 | |
| We have at the pace and jail is our main connection there, but we also have a fiber that go runs from our TCM building over to the | 00:19:41 | |
| pay center jail which the pace and jails connection. | 00:19:46 | |
| That one also runs our health department right next door. | 00:19:52 | |
| It runs the probation. | 00:19:56 | |
| It runs the courthouse. It runs the TCM building. | 00:19:57 | |
| So all of our connections right there. I mean, it's, it's amazing how many just one connection. | 00:20:00 | |
| You know, makes a difference on how many things it runs. So what we're looking at doing is adding a secondary connection. I know | 00:20:07 | |
| supervising Christensen have talked to me about it also. | 00:20:12 | |
| Is adding a separate secondary connection at those. | 00:20:17 | |
| At that, at those locations. | 00:20:21 | |
| So a secondary look at connection here at the courthouse is what we're looking at is we. | 00:20:23 | |
| Reach out to Sparkflight. | 00:20:28 | |
| And our secondary connection here would be about 9:15 a month if we were to add a secondary connection here. | 00:20:30 | |
| That and then your secondary connection for the TCM building. | 00:20:36 | |
| Which? | 00:20:39 | |
| Controls over to the SO would be like 875 a month. | 00:20:40 | |
| And those each are gig connections. | 00:20:44 | |
| So it would be like an immediate failover if something went down or pretty much we would have to work on doing some configurations | 00:20:46 | |
| and stuff on that. | 00:20:50 | |
| So with the cost with the two of them, it would be an additional 1790 a month with that and then like 1. | 00:20:55 | |
| 48 for 21,488 years so. | 00:21:03 | |
| Is what we would be looking at. | 00:21:06 | |
| The secondary connection, what it does is it. | 00:21:08 | |
| Gives us continued continued. | 00:21:11 | |
| The word I cannot say continue with the. | 00:21:13 | |
| Continuity. Thank you. | 00:21:16 | |
| Thank you. | 00:21:17 | |
| Continuity for for the for the applications. | 00:21:18 | |
| We have a lot of applications that are currently going to the cloud. | 00:21:22 | |
| Our phones are now in the cloud. | 00:21:25 | |
| So, umm. | 00:21:27 | |
| If we lose Internet connections or phone go down. | 00:21:29 | |
| So if we were able to have that secondary connection, it would always is long. I mean, it's not. | 00:21:31 | |
| Always, but it would allow us to be able to have phones at all times. | 00:21:37 | |
| If anything was to go down. | 00:21:42 | |
| With the secondary connections with New World New Worlds currently in the cloud. | 00:21:44 | |
| So if we were to have that secondary connection, our connection goes down, it would roll over to that secondary connection and it | 00:21:49 | |
| would allow us to be able to still have connectivity to the New World applications. | 00:21:54 | |
| And then also with. | 00:22:00 | |
| With courts. | 00:22:02 | |
| Court proceedings. | 00:22:03 | |
| Say our connection here at the courthouse go downs and there is a court proceeding going on. | 00:22:04 | |
| And it's between Payson and here. | 00:22:10 | |
| If something happens with that and one of our connections goes down, that. | 00:22:12 | |
| You know that hurts the court proceeding. | 00:22:15 | |
| So, umm. | 00:22:18 | |
| Where we had that secondary connection so our tunnel stays up at all times. You know it would it would help with that also. | 00:22:19 | |
| So do you have any comments on that? | 00:22:25 | |
| No, but I just add that you know. | 00:22:28 | |
| Terry's talking about the applications that go to the cloud, I mean. | 00:22:31 | |
| Community Development. | 00:22:34 | |
| Is fully hosted. | 00:22:35 | |
| Public works. | 00:22:39 | |
| Their Cartograph software is again fully hosted. | 00:22:40 | |
| So those also would. | 00:22:44 | |
| Have an immediate reliability benefit. | 00:22:46 | |
| So if we lose the Internet connection, community development would not be able to issue. | 00:22:51 | |
| Yeah, there's a lot of things. | 00:22:55 | |
| There's a lot of things tied to the Internet, so. | 00:22:59 | |
| Still to confirm, we're still working with Sparklight just to verify the. | 00:23:04 | |
| The contracts and stuff and you know if there is additional charges for. | 00:23:08 | |
| For like how many years they're wanting the contract to be? | 00:23:13 | |
| And things like that. So and then we would also have to work with our vendor on creating that failover connection. | 00:23:16 | |
| Because with the with the follower connection, there's a lot of things that have to be configured in our firewall and our routers | 00:23:22 | |
| and stuff. So. | 00:23:25 | |
| We'll have to look at that. | 00:23:28 | |
| Also the reoccurring costs, the request, you know, we're looking at, you know. | 00:23:31 | |
| Just pretty much letting y'all know what we're looking at doing, so we'll probably have to come to you guys on it. | 00:23:36 | |
| Is the recurring cost of the gig connection of each of the locations so. | 00:23:41 | |
| And then? | 00:23:48 | |
| That was it. And if you guys have any questions? | 00:23:49 | |
| I can answer him, Tom can answer him. | 00:23:52 | |
| So, Supervisor Klein. | 00:23:54 | |
| Carrie, Tom, thank you. So. | 00:23:56 | |
| I could see the value in this. | 00:23:58 | |
| Right off the bat, but I have a question for you. So if we have two lines basically. | 00:23:59 | |
| So. | 00:24:04 | |
| Are they both going to be in use at the same time, or will one be set in IDLE in case the other one comes down? | 00:24:06 | |
| Is that is that where it's looked at? | 00:24:11 | |
| Yeah, so one will be, one will set. | 00:24:13 | |
| Ronald said idle. | 00:24:15 | |
| And be available if the other one goes down. | 00:24:17 | |
| OK. And if, if? | 00:24:20 | |
| So. | 00:24:22 | |
| So what are? | 00:24:24 | |
| Who handles our line now? I mean, you're talking to Spark, Spark, like you said. | 00:24:26 | |
| So yeah, so I'm looking at Spark Light as our as our connection. Currently we're with Schizoi. | 00:24:30 | |
| Is currently with. | 00:24:36 | |
| Oh, that's that's for wolf up in pace and it's. | 00:24:38 | |
| OK. But this line if you went through Sparklight, if that's where it ends up, they'll they'll do the one in. | 00:24:42 | |
| Pacing as well. It'll all be supportive, correct? | 00:24:48 | |
| OK. So we'll have two completely different carriers, correct? | 00:24:50 | |
| OK, right that that allows. | 00:24:55 | |
| One carrier to undergo maintenance or. | 00:24:58 | |
| Somebody hits a power pole and takes. | 00:25:00 | |
| Takes out the connection. | 00:25:03 | |
| You know, by having the different vendors we. | 00:25:05 | |
| We achieve that. | 00:25:07 | |
| Recover, you know, continuity. | 00:25:09 | |
| Yeah, good. | 00:25:10 | |
| Thank you. | 00:25:11 | |
| Christian, thank you. | 00:25:16 | |
| So I saw the cost that. | 00:25:20 | |
| You have there, and I'm all for that. | 00:25:22 | |
| We're going to cancel the other. | 00:25:25 | |
| Agreement still with Optimum. | 00:25:27 | |
| And no. | 00:25:29 | |
| No SO. | 00:25:31 | |
| No. So, So what this would be is it would be a secondary connection. So we would have two connections at each location with the | 00:25:34 | |
| two connections at least each location as Tom was saying, if they were to provide maintenance or one of them a fiber was cut | 00:25:39 | |
| something like that and one of the connections went down at one of the locations, it would automatically fell over to that | 00:25:45 | |
| secondary connection. So we didn't lose the lose the connection. | 00:25:50 | |
| OK, now I understand. So yeah. | 00:25:56 | |
| Thank you. Thank you for that. Yeah, I think we have to have that. | 00:25:59 | |
| For the redundancy. | 00:26:02 | |
| We're totally dependent on. | 00:26:04 | |
| On the Internet connection. | 00:26:06 | |
| And just like. | 00:26:07 | |
| Various communities up north, we want to have multiple access for say, fire evacuation. | 00:26:09 | |
| Same thing. | 00:26:16 | |
| My question is OK the the 21480 is a base cost. | 00:26:20 | |
| So depending on how much. | 00:26:25 | |
| We use it, the cost can go up or that's. | 00:26:27 | |
| That's just the the cost. | 00:26:30 | |
| No matter how many. | 00:26:32 | |
| Facilities we have using that. | 00:26:34 | |
| So, no, that is the cost. Yeah, that is the cost. | 00:26:37 | |
| OK. All right. Good enough. Then I have no further questions. | 00:26:40 | |
| OK. And so thank you very much. | 00:26:45 | |
| Thank you. | 00:26:48 | |
| OK. We will go on to. | 00:26:49 | |
| For me information. | 00:26:54 | |
| Regarding monthly flood recovery. | 00:26:56 | |
| Mayor Billings and Tone. | 00:26:59 | |
| Goodman Goodman is not here. | 00:27:01 | |
| Supervisor Christianson. Supervisor Klein. | 00:27:04 | |
| These agenda items are in here as. | 00:27:08 | |
| Serve a placeholder to allow our public works team. | 00:27:10 | |
| The opportunity to update you on where we are. | 00:27:14 | |
| All the flood recovery projects. | 00:27:18 | |
| So I will invite. | 00:27:20 | |
| Matt Rencher and Troy White to share their. | 00:27:22 | |
| Their updates. | 00:27:26 | |
| Or Matt, I guess, sorry. | 00:27:27 | |
| Thank you, Mary. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Supervisors. | 00:27:32 | |
| This as you know the. | 00:27:35 | |
| Before I get into the report of where we are with our projects, I just want to send a shout out to our streets groups. I mean, | 00:27:38 | |
| they've been working pretty much. | 00:27:42 | |
| Nonstop for the last month. | 00:27:45 | |
| Keeping roadways clear. Keeping drainage paths clean. | 00:27:47 | |
| Keeping coverage. | 00:27:50 | |
| Free of sediment to. | 00:27:51 | |
| So that the the drainage paths and the covers. | 00:27:53 | |
| Will do what they're supposed to do and they've done a tremendous job in spite of the in spite of the weather that we've had with | 00:27:56 | |
| that. | 00:27:59 | |
| So as far as a an update for the projects, we apologize, we have. | 00:28:04 | |
| Print out that With the storms affecting the Internet, we weren't able to print this out, but we will send those to you so you can | 00:28:08 | |
| have more. | 00:28:11 | |
| A deeper dive into the projects and some of the project photos that we have, construction photos that we have. | 00:28:15 | |
| With us, we'll send those out today as as we get our Internet connection restored. | 00:28:21 | |
| As far as the Russell Welch project, that project is is 93% completion. They're supposed to be finishing that up this week. That's | 00:28:26 | |
| one of the shock rate with the. | 00:28:31 | |
| With sediment. I drove the site this morning. It was on site this morning and we had. | 00:28:35 | |
| Quite a bit of sediment that came down through Russell Gulch. They were cleaning that out. Their work crews were cleaning up the | 00:28:40 | |
| culverts. | 00:28:43 | |
| Removing some of the sediment to make sure that. | 00:28:45 | |
| The channel does the silt app already. | 00:28:48 | |
| That. | 00:28:51 | |
| Russellville's project is scheduled to be completed this week. | 00:28:52 | |
| That six Year Canyon project is approximately 79% complete. | 00:28:56 | |
| That's scheduled for completion. | 00:29:01 | |
| The end of August, we did have a little bit of a set back today with the rain because there was quite a bit of rain that came down | 00:29:03 | |
| through the Six Shooter Canyon. But the Tiffany crews are on site with that. | 00:29:08 | |
| As far as removing the sediment, getting. | 00:29:14 | |
| Making up the time that that we were set back with that. | 00:29:17 | |
| With the weather this weekend. | 00:29:21 | |
| The Ice House Canyon is approximately 80% complete. | 00:29:23 | |
| That's scheduled for completion the following week. The August 14th is when we're looking at completion for that one. | 00:29:26 | |
| Copper Hills Rd. is 65% completion right now. | 00:29:33 | |
| Scheduled for completion on August 21st. | 00:29:37 | |
| And then the hospital wall is at 35% complete. That's scheduled for completion of the second week of September. And again, we'll | 00:29:40 | |
| send the schedule out to you so you have a. | 00:29:44 | |
| Better look at it, but all of these projects are tending to be completed under budgets where? | 00:29:48 | |
| More pleased with that and with the with the work and the team effort that we've had with. | 00:29:54 | |
| Tiffany with our team with. | 00:29:59 | |
| With uh uh. | 00:30:00 | |
| Jay Florence, It's been a combined effort and team effort to keep these projects moving forward in spite of that, in spite of the | 00:30:01 | |
| weather that we've had. So we're grateful for. | 00:30:06 | |
| All parties involved but happy to answer any questions. | 00:30:11 | |
| Supervisor plan. | 00:30:15 | |
| Matt, it sounds like we're. | 00:30:16 | |
| Beat that 220 days. | 00:30:19 | |
| We will. It sounds like your folks are doing a really good job. Everybody is so. | 00:30:21 | |
| So that's good to hear. Thank you. | 00:30:26 | |
| Very Christian. Thank you, chairman. So Matt the. | 00:30:29 | |
| E-mail I got this morning about Russell Gulch Rd. | 00:30:32 | |
| And that's being. | 00:30:35 | |
| A lot of sediment just needed to be removed. | 00:30:37 | |
| No real damage though to any of the projects that were. | 00:30:40 | |
| No, just the just the sentiment removal. So we're working on that to get those to get that sediment removed to get back to where | 00:30:44 | |
| we can. | 00:30:47 | |
| Do the construction? Is the landfill open at this point? | 00:30:50 | |
| And at this point, no, we're still because we have so much rain that came in last night, early this morning. The landfill is | 00:30:54 | |
| still. | 00:30:57 | |
| Until we can get that cleaned up and dried out. | 00:31:00 | |
| Great, great and. | 00:31:03 | |
| I may be wrong with the chairman, but it sounds like we covered 2. | 00:31:06 | |
| Topics Today 4B and 4D in this presentation. That's correct. | 00:31:09 | |
| Combine them together. | 00:31:14 | |
| So thank you for that. | 00:31:17 | |
| OK, Yeah, I. | 00:31:19 | |
| Yes, I'm just sharing and if they want to come up and do them all on beach. | 00:31:23 | |
| But. | 00:31:28 | |
| Anyway, OK. | 00:31:29 | |
| I yeah, the only, the only question I have, and it's not a question, it's a comment. | 00:31:30 | |
| Is the wash. | 00:31:35 | |
| Between the landfill. | 00:31:37 | |
| And our Russell Gulch. | 00:31:40 | |
| Project. | 00:31:42 | |
| That Creek is. | 00:31:43 | |
| Full of sediment and. | 00:31:44 | |
| And the the culverts look like they're. | 00:31:47 | |
| Pretty pretty or when I was by the other day we're pretty clogged so that. | 00:31:51 | |
| That wash is. | 00:31:57 | |
| Looked like it needed some attention. | 00:31:59 | |
| Two arrest. | 00:32:02 | |
| Project. | 00:32:03 | |
| Understood. And I said our our crews have been out working on that. That may be one of the areas that they've already taken care | 00:32:04 | |
| of. I'll double check. | 00:32:07 | |
| With our roads division and find out about that one. | 00:32:11 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:32:14 | |
| Thank you. | 00:32:15 | |
| OK. Then if if you're finished Marin, you're finished with. | 00:32:17 | |
| To be so. | 00:32:22 | |
| We'll move on to C and I think you're fine again. | 00:32:24 | |
| We're on 4C information. | 00:32:29 | |
| On a fee structure analysis presentation. | 00:32:32 | |
| Yes. Good morning, Mr. Chair. | 00:32:37 | |
| Supervisor Christensen. Supervisor Klein. | 00:32:39 | |
| I believe our Internet outage today. | 00:32:43 | |
| Caused our presenters to not be able to join us. | 00:32:46 | |
| OK, unless. | 00:32:49 | |
| Do you have them on? Oh, there they are. OK. | 00:32:51 | |
| Never mind, they're here. | 00:32:53 | |
| So I'd like to introduce Cara Skinner and Diana Hancock from MGT Consultants. | 00:32:55 | |
| They have been diligently working on. | 00:33:01 | |
| Our fee structure analysis. | 00:33:04 | |
| And they have worked directly with each department. | 00:33:07 | |
| Here in Gila County. | 00:33:10 | |
| To understand the costs and revenues. | 00:33:12 | |
| That are related to them. | 00:33:15 | |
| And I will let Cara and Diana. | 00:33:17 | |
| Go ahead and move forward and then when they're ready to present. | 00:33:20 | |
| Our PowerPoint I can. | 00:33:23 | |
| I can move through the slides for us and we need to move to the next agenda item. | 00:33:26 | |
| I'm asking her. I'm Diana. | 00:33:31 | |
| I'll turn it over to you. | 00:33:33 | |
| Good morning. Go ahead. | 00:33:36 | |
| Jonathan, can you get? | 00:33:40 | |
| Can you turn it up a little bit so we can hear them? | 00:33:44 | |
| Sorry, we're working on it, Kara. | 00:33:47 | |
| Turn it up a lot. | 00:33:49 | |
| Can you hear me OK now? | 00:33:56 | |
| And we, we can, we can, we can hear you if we. | 00:33:57 | |
| If it's real quiet but our AC blowers are on apparently and. | 00:34:00 | |
| It's a muffling to sound a little bit in here. | 00:34:04 | |
| But go ahead. | 00:34:10 | |
| No, that's that's a lot better. | 00:34:13 | |
| OK. Can you hear? | 00:34:15 | |
| Yeah, OK, Cara, it seems like we have good enough sound for now. | 00:34:17 | |
| OK, right. And when I shouted. | 00:34:23 | |
| Or received e-mail from Jonathan from it earlier, he said I could possibly share my screen if that's easier for you. | 00:34:26 | |
| Would you prefer to run the presentation? No, if you can, that would be fantastic. Thank you, Cara. | 00:34:33 | |
| Can you all see that screen? | 00:34:39 | |
| We can, Yep. | 00:34:43 | |
| Perfect. | 00:34:45 | |
| Thank you. Thank you, Mary. | 00:34:47 | |
| Good morning, Chairman, Supervisors. | 00:34:50 | |
| Tap our center directed with MGT and my colleague Diana. | 00:34:53 | |
| If you're Diane could introduce yourself. | 00:34:57 | |
| Thanks SO. | 00:35:09 | |
| Your time this morning we do have a brief presentation to show the results of our study with you. | 00:35:12 | |
| So I will go ahead and start with that. | 00:35:19 | |
| Resolve. | 00:35:23 | |
| So as Miriam indicated, we worked closely with all the different departments at the city or many of the departments. | 00:35:26 | |
| To do a cost of service study and really why did. | 00:35:34 | |
| You won't embark on this project and contract with MGT to do this part. | 00:35:38 | |
| Really, it was the first time and I think quite some time, that I. | 00:35:43 | |
| Comprehensive review was done. | 00:35:47 | |
| Of the different services for which the county charges. | 00:35:49 | |
| Opinion So what we were brought in to do was to really look at. | 00:35:53 | |
| What is the true cost? | 00:35:58 | |
| To the county to provide those services for which you charge. | 00:36:00 | |
| Identify. | 00:36:04 | |
| What is your current cost recovery and what that means is we compared what is that full cost? | 00:36:06 | |
| Compared to the current revenue that you're collecting? | 00:36:12 | |
| And then we also oftentimes compare these. | 00:36:15 | |
| To your peers, because that's useful information people want to understand. | 00:36:20 | |
| How your needs compared to neighboring or similar counties? | 00:36:25 | |
| Across Arizona. So we did that work and really the goal is. | 00:36:29 | |
| For you all to have a higher level of. | 00:36:33 | |
| Transparency and for your those in your community to have a higher level of transparency. | 00:36:36 | |
| With regard to what it costs. | 00:36:41 | |
| To provide different services. | 00:36:44 | |
| So we also want to make. | 00:36:50 | |
| Be clear what this study is not and what the presentation of the discussion today is not. | 00:36:52 | |
| And it is not necessarily a request or a call to raise everything. | 00:36:57 | |
| Can, can you all hear me tonight? Yes, Thank you, Cara. | 00:37:03 | |
| OK OK, so I do a check. | 00:37:06 | |
| It's also not a mandate for full cost recovery for every service for which you charge a fee. That is certainly a policy decision | 00:37:10 | |
| and we'll talk about the different factors that might influence that policy decision. | 00:37:16 | |
| And it is also not at the. | 00:37:23 | |
| Request to act today. So today is informational, it's discussion, it's really a. | 00:37:25 | |
| And a later date and time that you might consider. | 00:37:31 | |
| What would your cost recovery policy be? And then apply that policy and make recommended. | 00:37:34 | |
| Changes to the different user fees, but today it's really. | 00:37:40 | |
| Information for future informed decision making. | 00:37:43 | |
| So what was the scope of our study? | 00:37:50 | |
| We studied a lot of departments and you'll see them all listed here and each of those departments. | 00:37:53 | |
| Provide a mix of. | 00:37:58 | |
| Fee for service activity and also activity for which. | 00:38:01 | |
| There are no fees charged in the taxpayer supported. | 00:38:05 | |
| And our community service. | 00:38:09 | |
| So each of these departments has at least one, if not 4, if not 50 fees for which it does charge for certain specific activities. | 00:38:12 | |
| So when we looked at each of those activities, how did we calculate the cost? And the thing that's important to know and | 00:38:26 | |
| understand is when we do this, we look at what is the actual. | 00:38:31 | |
| Cost of service. | 00:38:36 | |
| So we do that. | 00:38:38 | |
| Working with the department. | 00:38:40 | |
| Doing some data collection gathering of these schedules the budget. | 00:38:42 | |
| We want to understand the salaries and benefits associated. | 00:38:46 | |
| The Bolton departments that are providing these services. | 00:38:51 | |
| We want to also understand operating expenses. | 00:38:54 | |
| And they also want to understand the cost. | 00:38:57 | |
| Of administrative support both within the department and county wide so we do use information from your. | 00:39:01 | |
| In low cost allocation plan which allocates the cost of. | 00:39:08 | |
| Central service departments like HR, Finance, IT. | 00:39:12 | |
| To the direct service providing department. | 00:39:17 | |
| So we do all that data collection and from that we determine hourly rates that are fully burdened. | 00:39:20 | |
| Fully burdened, including all of those types of costs, all costs associated with labor. | 00:39:26 | |
| Filled up with the holy burden not really raised. | 00:39:32 | |
| And then each of your departments. | 00:39:35 | |
| Identifies. | 00:39:38 | |
| What is the time that it takes to provide the service? | 00:39:39 | |
| Who is providing the service visit? | 00:39:43 | |
| A variety of staff members, then we understand how much time does each of those staff members dedicated to that service. | 00:39:46 | |
| And then that gets multiplied by the fully burdened hourly rate. | 00:39:53 | |
| With the old cops. | 00:39:57 | |
| And then once we have the full cost. | 00:39:59 | |
| We multiply that by the volume of times the surface was charged. | 00:40:01 | |
| In the year to understand the total revenue and then the total. | 00:40:06 | |
| Holy burden cost. | 00:40:11 | |
| On an annual basis and we come up with cost recovery percentage. | 00:40:13 | |
| So generally an exercise in. | 00:40:18 | |
| And digging in to the full costs. | 00:40:21 | |
| Understanding the volume and understanding the revenue. | 00:40:24 | |
| To estimate costs recovery. | 00:40:28 | |
| So as I mentioned earlier. | 00:40:35 | |
| While we do identify what is the whole cost, it's not necessarily the policy. | 00:40:38 | |
| That most communities would not recommend to always recover phone calls. | 00:40:44 | |
| On her phone calls, cost recovery is really impacted by a number of different factors. | 00:40:48 | |
| And the fact that. | 00:40:53 | |
| It's considered most predominantly by decision makers is really this assessment of who's benefiting from the service. | 00:40:55 | |
| And if it's a service that has a lot of community benefit, then there's. | 00:41:04 | |
| Typically little cost recovery, if any. | 00:41:08 | |
| If it's a, it's a service that's for an activity that has mostly individual benefits. | 00:41:11 | |
| And oftentimes, policymakers want to set cost recovery closer to full cost. | 00:41:17 | |
| Examples of. | 00:41:22 | |
| Full cost recovery often are things related to land development, building funds, that sort of thing. | 00:41:25 | |
| There's also purchasing that the other thing that people consider for cost recovery and setting fees and. | 00:41:34 | |
| Is competition on the market and we spoke to that a little bit when you said we always include a pure comparison. | 00:41:40 | |
| There are some services that are largely influenced by the market and and that is taken into consideration. | 00:41:46 | |
| More significantly, another augmented facility. | 00:41:54 | |
| All. | 00:41:59 | |
| Things that the private market. | 00:42:00 | |
| Might have a similar service. | 00:42:03 | |
| That we can meet with. | 00:42:06 | |
| What the community of the county is providing. | 00:42:08 | |
| Some big picture, high level results from our study across all of those who are in the department. | 00:42:14 | |
| We had an invite that the phone call. | 00:42:20 | |
| Cost of those services or activities. | 00:42:23 | |
| About $6.3 million. | 00:42:26 | |
| And the current cost to cover is 4.8 million. | 00:42:30 | |
| So there's a subsidy of about 1.5 million from the general fund or other taxpayer dollars. | 00:42:34 | |
| Let's go back out so. | 00:42:41 | |
| If you make some. | 00:42:43 | |
| Based upon cost recovery philosophy, there is the same child that there could be. | 00:42:46 | |
| Additional costs required through fees. | 00:42:51 | |
| Some more specific department funding. | 00:42:59 | |
| Our findings that these are also very high level, these are the State Department. | 00:43:03 | |
| I will an opportunity development there and thought that was one that is. | 00:43:12 | |
| Only recovering 46% through our study. | 00:43:16 | |
| And yeah, this one within our work that we do across. | 00:43:19 | |
| I'm sure that oftentimes. | 00:43:23 | |
| The ball is to recover closer to 100%, but that again. | 00:43:26 | |
| Decision of the policy makers. | 00:43:32 | |
| But you can see her across the. | 00:43:35 | |
| Department of the current full cost that we identify current cost recovery. | 00:43:36 | |
| The third column over in the back recovery as a percent. | 00:43:42 | |
| And then that last column is. | 00:43:45 | |
| Potential. | 00:43:47 | |
| Cost recovery opportunity if these weren't increased. | 00:43:49 | |
| There are three departments that that through the border looked like they were potentially over recovery costs. And again, this | 00:43:58 | |
| is. | 00:44:02 | |
| Based upon. | 00:44:07 | |
| Turn a functional up volume. So it may be that they were. | 00:44:08 | |
| Over recovering it in that year and in other years they're not but. | 00:44:12 | |
| Generally it. | 00:44:18 | |
| Hit the goal to not over the cover box. | 00:44:21 | |
| You'll see two of those the quarter. | 00:44:24 | |
| Both look like it is over the covering costs. However, those fees are set by state statute. | 00:44:28 | |
| But comparing. | 00:44:34 | |
| The Dean has charged. | 00:44:36 | |
| State statutes and then the cause based upon the time of your. | 00:44:39 | |
| Felony requirements of the accident. | 00:44:43 | |
| So there were. | 00:44:46 | |
| Identified as. | 00:44:48 | |
| Over recovery. | 00:44:50 | |
| They did want to highlight facilities and families was sort of a unique situation. So we built two different models for facilities | 00:44:57 | |
| and fairgrounds because. | 00:45:01 | |
| The current practice is to use in labor. | 00:45:07 | |
| Through our work, the annual savings that we identified from using that inmate looking for those around $250,000. | 00:45:11 | |
| OK, so with. | 00:45:20 | |
| Currently you're the whole cost of 600,000. | 00:45:24 | |
| The services that you're. | 00:45:30 | |
| Or facilities that you're charging for are only recovering 17% of your costs, even with those cost savings from utilizing payment | 00:45:32 | |
| later. | 00:45:36 | |
| So there is some potential potentially better or. | 00:45:43 | |
| Seems to be a Johnson. | 00:45:48 | |
| And then we just want to give you just a little more context around the peer comparison that we did do. | 00:45:52 | |
| The dashboard against Graham County and Patch County and Navajo counties and youth resort of the rationales for those 3 counties | 00:45:59 | |
| and. | 00:46:03 | |
| And like we thought. | 00:46:07 | |
| That added value to the analysis. | 00:46:09 | |
| And that is we did provide that computer. | 00:46:14 | |
| Results to. | 00:46:18 | |
| Mary and her team and the. | 00:46:19 | |
| County Manager. | 00:46:21 | |
| But we do all those things. We. | 00:46:23 | |
| We always wanted to share those clear comparisons with some caveats or just sort of really understand what. | 00:46:25 | |
| The numbers be. | 00:46:32 | |
| When you look at here, these structures and cross jurisdictions, the peers. | 00:46:34 | |
| These structures often varies significantly, so it's. | 00:46:38 | |
| It's not always apples to apples in terms of. | 00:46:42 | |
| How these are charged? | 00:46:45 | |
| And the services for which are being covered, I think maybe like in the building room. | 00:46:48 | |
| I'm playing review theme, might include. | 00:46:56 | |
| A certain level of review and one inspection or it might not include any inspections like what the service includes can vary | 00:46:59 | |
| process. | 00:47:03 | |
| We always want to recognize that. | 00:47:08 | |
| And the other thing is. | 00:47:10 | |
| We can compare their fees, but we are not necessarily comparing their costs. | 00:47:13 | |
| Because many of the bees. | 00:47:18 | |
| Potentially across the different jurisdictions have not been modified or they have not been in Austin service studies. | 00:47:21 | |
| Greatly either so. | 00:47:28 | |
| Or we can compare things we don't necessarily have an understanding of. | 00:47:30 | |
| One of the underlying costs associated with that county. | 00:47:34 | |
| Providing those services. | 00:47:38 | |
| So we use them as sort of a directional check on competitiveness, but. | 00:47:40 | |
| It's just simply another piece of information or. | 00:47:45 | |
| The county and policymakers. | 00:47:49 | |
| So last, the recommendation to. | 00:47:55 | |
| We had coming out of this study. | 00:48:00 | |
| I mean, we did. | 00:48:02 | |
| Let's say foremost was to provide provide useful data and information to you all. | 00:48:04 | |
| But we did also make a few recommendations and one. | 00:48:09 | |
| We would recommend that you consider and adopt the convenience fee policy, and that is a. | 00:48:14 | |
| Related to transaction fees. | 00:48:20 | |
| For the time, so credit card in person to have some. | 00:48:23 | |
| Rationale for how the different departments that accept different payment types. | 00:48:27 | |
| Charge fees and. | 00:48:34 | |
| Essentially implementing credit card transaction. | 00:48:37 | |
| The insistence of real life based upon. | 00:48:40 | |
| #2 would be to have the policy discussion and set target cost recovery levels based upon philosophy. | 00:48:44 | |
| And then once you've made adjustments to that, those target costs recovery levels. | 00:48:53 | |
| And we would recommend revisiting costs every three to five years. | 00:48:59 | |
| The reason why we read. | 00:49:03 | |
| Recommend that is. | 00:49:05 | |
| Particularly in the recent times, processes maybe have changed, technology changes. | 00:49:08 | |
| Processes and costs. | 00:49:13 | |
| May have changed significantly. | 00:49:16 | |
| Depending on those processes. So it's good to do the. | 00:49:19 | |
| Announced that every three to five years. | 00:49:23 | |
| And then in between years, we recommend applying a CPI adjustment because certainly based upon our cost methodology. | 00:49:25 | |
| The costs really are based upon labor costs, primarily because. | 00:49:35 | |
| You are a service providing agency. | 00:49:41 | |
| And certainly labor costs increase over time. So we know that that underlines significant causes increasing year to year. | 00:49:43 | |
| Typically by his DPI or some organizations might use. | 00:49:52 | |
| The present the wages were adjusted through the annual budget process, something like that. | 00:49:57 | |
| Answer any questions you may have. | 00:50:10 | |
| We appreciate your time. | 00:50:14 | |
| Thank you very much, Supervisor Klein. Questions, comments. | 00:50:16 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think I probably have questions, but I'm not sure. | 00:50:22 | |
| Right now I see a lot to think about. | 00:50:27 | |
| Yes, and that's why it's a work session, so you have time to consider it. | 00:50:29 | |
| And you can better understand it now that you have it. | 00:50:33 | |
| You know, in the past when we've presented this, it's been a big fat book. | 00:50:38 | |
| That is completely not useful. | 00:50:41 | |
| A to you and it doesn't have any context. | 00:50:45 | |
| So I'm hoping that the teamwork involved across the 11 departments that Kara and Diana mentioned and. | 00:50:47 | |
| Michael and Josh and myself. | 00:50:55 | |
| Will give. | 00:50:57 | |
| You as our Board of Supervisors and our constituents. | 00:50:59 | |
| A more transparent. | 00:51:02 | |
| Way to see this. | 00:51:04 | |
| And also a more digestible set of information. | 00:51:06 | |
| You're not. | 00:51:11 | |
| You're not trying to have to figure out. | 00:51:13 | |
| What matters in this? | 00:51:15 | |
| And then if you have questions about the data. | 00:51:17 | |
| We can always provide you with the data. | 00:51:20 | |
| But having this. | 00:51:23 | |
| A reasonable presentation format. | 00:51:25 | |
| Seemed like an improvement that we could implement over past. | 00:51:27 | |
| Sort of past approaches that have. | 00:51:32 | |
| Caused more confusion than they've relieved. | 00:51:35 | |
| Well, thank you. Thank you, ladies. | 00:51:38 | |
| You did a good job putting this together. I just. | 00:51:40 | |
| I need to absorb this for a while because there's a balance in there with our. | 00:51:43 | |
| Our constituents to you with what? | 00:51:46 | |
| What they're paying in tax dollars and what we're charging them to use what they built so. | 00:51:48 | |
| Basically, uh. | 00:51:52 | |
| So it is going to require some. | 00:51:53 | |
| Thought so, Thank you man. | 00:51:55 | |
| Yes, Mr. Chair, based on what Supervisor Klein just said. | 00:51:56 | |
| Would you like us to plan another one of these? | 00:52:00 | |
| Work session discussions. | 00:52:03 | |
| After you and. | 00:52:05 | |
| And the Board have had a chance to look at this. | 00:52:06 | |
| Yeah, I can get to that in a minute. No, thank you. | 00:52:08 | |
| Don't. Don't, Don't ever be. | 00:52:11 | |
| Supervisor Christensen, Chairman. | 00:52:13 | |
| So I've had actually quite a few discussions with our community development department. | 00:52:17 | |
| With regard to their fees, that are reflected here at. | 00:52:21 | |
| 46%. | 00:52:26 | |
| Recovery and how Randy would like to increase that, in other words. | 00:52:27 | |
| When we look at this page here about cost recovery philosophy. | 00:52:32 | |
| The the building permit, septic permits, rezoning applications, and subdivision review. | 00:52:37 | |
| To be needing a much. | 00:52:44 | |
| Closer to 100%. | 00:52:45 | |
| Mark, because those people are. | 00:52:47 | |
| Taking out. | 00:52:50 | |
| Permits that don't need to be subsidized by those that are not taking out. | 00:52:52 | |
| Permits and that's. | 00:52:57 | |
| That's one of our upside down things that we've got going on right now. | 00:52:59 | |
| So the cost of building a home through permits or septics or whatever. | 00:53:03 | |
| Should be paid by the user. | 00:53:10 | |
| The one taking out the permit. | 00:53:14 | |
| And not subsidized by those. | 00:53:16 | |
| Who are not building a home. | 00:53:18 | |
| Are not putting in those features. | 00:53:20 | |
| That's my philosophy. And so I think that's. | 00:53:22 | |
| Philosophy here as well, and I'm curious. | 00:53:25 | |
| As to. | 00:53:29 | |
| Why we didn't include the landfills in this study? | 00:53:30 | |
| Is that just a separate thing? | 00:53:34 | |
| The landfills and their keys. | 00:53:38 | |
| The landfill and their fees was. | 00:53:42 | |
| Evaluated separately. | 00:53:46 | |
| And the Board had recently back in December of 2024. | 00:53:47 | |
| Implemented a new fee structure. | 00:53:52 | |
| There and it's my understanding that. | 00:53:54 | |
| The landfill and public works. | 00:53:56 | |
| Will be bringing their information to you separately. | 00:54:00 | |
| They've been so focused on other projects. | 00:54:03 | |
| That they were. | 00:54:06 | |
| They did not have the bandwidth to accommodate this. OK, Georgie. I look forward to that because we need to keep up on those fees | 00:54:07 | |
| as well. | 00:54:10 | |
| So thank you ladies for your presentation. | 00:54:14 | |
| Yeah. Thank. Thank you very much for your information. | 00:54:19 | |
| But I agree with. | 00:54:22 | |
| Marin that. | 00:54:24 | |
| A lot of that information is for staff. | 00:54:25 | |
| To digest. | 00:54:28 | |
| And and then bring us information so that. | 00:54:29 | |
| We can make decisions to go forward. | 00:54:33 | |
| And so I. | 00:54:36 | |
| I appreciate you. | 00:54:38 | |
| And and I do believe that it. | 00:54:40 | |
| It has is about time because we're kind of restructuring that, that we did do a user fee study. | 00:54:42 | |
| So that we can better understand. | 00:54:48 | |
| How to go forward so? | 00:54:51 | |
| Thank you very much for your time, energy and effort. | 00:54:53 | |
| And for staff, we're requesting us. | 00:54:57 | |
| That we do this so. | 00:54:59 | |
| Thank you very much. | 00:55:01 | |
| Appreciate it. | 00:55:03 | |
| Thank you. Yes. | 00:55:05 | |
| Thank you. | 00:55:10 | |
| Okay, moving on. | 00:55:13 | |
| Maybe OK I. | 00:55:20 | |
| And and on D. | 00:55:24 | |
| Information regarding the status of flood. | 00:55:26 | |
| Recovery projects. Associated funding. | 00:55:30 | |

| Protection and Matt. | 00:55:43 | |
| Covered lots of that. | 00:55:45 | |
| Back earlier. | 00:55:48 | |
| And then associated funding resources. That's the only thing I. | 00:55:50 | |
| I didn't. | 00:55:55 | |
| Catch in what you came up. | 00:55:56 | |
| With. | 00:55:59 | |
| On the earlier. | 00:56:00 | |
| Portion of this. | 00:56:02 | |
| And so do we have. | 00:56:04 | |
| Anything As for? | 00:56:06 | |
| Before I just pass it up, do we have anything? | 00:56:08 | |
| On associated funding. | 00:56:10 | |
| Resources for. | 00:56:13 | |
| 220 day projects. | 00:56:15 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. | 00:56:17 | |
| The Public Works Department has submitted its first request to NRCS. | 00:56:19 | |
| For reimbursement. | 00:56:24 | |
| For the first big chunk of work. | 00:56:25 | |
| And that has been well received. | 00:56:27 | |
| The consultant for the DIMA project. | 00:56:31 | |
| Has submitted. | 00:56:35 | |
| The September. | 00:56:36 | |
| Projects to date to DEMA and we are. | 00:56:38 | |
| Anticipating. | 00:56:41 | |
| A peer review of that application. | 00:56:42 | |
| And we will let you know when those. | 00:56:47 | |
| Reimbursements start coming in. | 00:56:50 | |
| OK, uh. | 00:56:53 | |
| With the added information, Supervisor Klein, do you have any? | 00:56:55 | |
| Comments or questions? | 00:56:59 | |
| How much have we dipped into that 18,000,000 that we bonded for? | 00:57:00 | |
| To help felonies, we have not submitted for any reimbursement from the 18,000,000 yet. | 00:57:04 | |
| OK, good. We wanted to see what our what our final costs are before we. | 00:57:09 | |
| Submit to the bank and ask them to send us that. | 00:57:15 | |
| That interest bearing money. | 00:57:17 | |
| Yeah, good. | 00:57:19 | |
| Except it was a Christian. Think you know, I have no questions. Thank you. | 00:57:21 | |
| OK. Yeah. No, that was a a question that that I had and so. | 00:57:24 | |
| Now I'm I'm good with that, so thank you very much. | 00:57:29 | |
| Answering the funding part of this and. | 00:57:32 | |
| Matt, thank you. | 00:57:36 | |
| Years earlier. | 00:57:38 | |
| OK, we're going to move on. Does anybody need a break? I think we're getting into. | 00:57:40 | |
| This part of the work session where. | 00:57:46 | |
| It's gonna be a little bit lengthy. | 00:57:48 | |
| Supervisor Klein Christensen, you want to. | 00:57:52 | |
| Roll forward, you wanna. | 00:57:54 | |
| Take 5 and also 2. | 00:57:56 | |
| I I do believe that today. | 00:57:59 | |
| We are going to go. I was speaking with. | 00:58:01 | |
| Manager Michael Driscoll. | 00:58:06 | |
| And I, I believe that F&G is going to kind of run together. | 00:58:08 | |
| And so I. | 00:58:13 | |
| I will. I'm going to. | 00:58:16 | |
| Move of F&G. | 00:58:17 | |
| Prior to E. | 00:58:20 | |
| And so. | 00:58:23 | |
| If anybody would like to take short break supervisor, fine. You OK? | 00:58:24 | |
| Yeah, we're only an hour into this. I'm good to go, supervisor. I'm fine. | 00:58:29 | |
| Yeah. OK. Then we are going to roll forward and. | 00:58:34 | |
| And. | 00:58:38 | |
| Manager O'Driscoll, would you like to? | 00:58:40 | |
| Start off. | 00:58:42 | |
| With. | 00:58:44 | |
| Apparently F&G. | 00:58:45 | |
| Running. | 00:58:47 | |
| Running together. | 00:58:48 | |
| Chairman, members of the Board, thank you. | 00:58:50 | |
| And yes, the reason what what I've done is. | 00:58:52 | |
| This board has requested staff. | 00:58:55 | |
| To present to the Board a financial analysis of. | 00:58:57 | |
| Two different. | 00:59:01 | |
| Properties, uh. | 00:59:03 | |
| One of them is the fairgrounds, which the county owned, and one of them is the Veterans Retreat Young, which county doesn't own at | 00:59:04 | |
| this time. And while I was doing this presentation, we're going to be looking at the same financial information. | 00:59:10 | |
| For each of the properties. | 00:59:17 | |
| And therefore I sort of combine them into one PowerPoint presentation. | 00:59:18 | |
| Is board so. | 00:59:23 | |
| Without any other questions, I'll just go ahead and get started. | 00:59:26 | |
| Yeah, great. | 00:59:33 | |
| So the purpose of this review is what the board wanted. | 00:59:34 | |
| Was umm. | 00:59:38 | |
| What was spent? | 00:59:39 | |
| What was spent out at each of these properties? | 00:59:40 | |
| Who paid it? And the question who paid it was what fund these? | 00:59:43 | |
| Expenses come from. | 00:59:49 | |
| For example, you'll see during this presentation we had received a large. | 00:59:50 | |
| Amount of money from. | 00:59:55 | |
| Which is coated money from the federal government. | 00:59:56 | |
| Each. | 00:59:59 | |
| Each government agency across the country received during COVID. | 01:00:01 | |
| And those funds were restricted only the first half, $1,000,000. | 01:00:05 | |
| Anything that we received after a half million dollars, the county was able to expand on any project. | 01:00:09 | |
| That this board approved. | 01:00:15 | |
| And those funds needed to be expended by December 31st of 2025, which was last year. | 01:00:18 | |
| And I'm happy to report that. | 01:00:23 | |
| The staff. | 01:00:25 | |
| Has expended all those funds. | 01:00:26 | |
| We didn't want to leave any money on the table to get back to the federal government. | 01:00:29 | |
| And so. | 01:00:33 | |
| I'd like to thank staff for. | 01:00:34 | |
| Making that happen. | 01:00:37 | |
| And as board for the direction, if you recall during the COVID years we were bringing. | 01:00:38 | |
| Projects in front of you for. | 01:00:43 | |
| Your thoughts? | 01:00:44 | |
| What did it buy? The question is, is actually what? What? | 01:00:46 | |
| What the money was spent on? | 01:00:49 | |
| And exactly what did that provide the county? | 01:00:51 | |
| So we presented the annual cost by year. | 01:00:56 | |
| And I'll go into the years that we used it. | 01:00:59 | |
| With five years starting with 2021. | 01:01:01 | |
| 2021 was a good years to start because there were absolutely no. | 01:01:05 | |
| Expenses out of Pleasant Valley and none that was being. | 01:01:09 | |
| Tracked in the fairgrounds. So that's a baseline year. Starting at 0 is the perfect year to start at. | 01:01:12 | |
| Then we could see how it builds from year to year. | 01:01:18 | |
| We separated one time capital project investments from ongoing operational. | 01:01:21 | |
| Obligations, and what that simply means is. | 01:01:26 | |
| Capital is is. | 01:01:28 | |
| Construction is some other items. | 01:01:30 | |
| Operational expenses are full time employees, utilities, those kinds of things, so. | 01:01:33 | |
| We separated that out for a better explanation. | 01:01:40 | |
| Where that money went? | 01:01:43 | |
| And then and then. Also. Part of the request was to summarize the. | 01:01:45 | |
| We call them P cards, but they're actually credit cards. | 01:01:49 | |
| The purchase card so. | 01:01:52 | |
| If there was a significant difference between these two properties. | 01:01:54 | |
| For the P cards. | 01:01:58 | |
| Simply because they come from. | 01:02:00 | |
| Credit card purchases are charged to multiple funds at the Pleasant Valley Veterans You Treat. | 01:02:03 | |
| And out at the fairgrounds, all credit card purchases were charged to the general fund since we own that property. | 01:02:07 | |
| So that we're not multiple accounts for that. | 01:02:14 | |
| So you'll see as I go through this that we did not include the. | 01:02:17 | |
| Purchase cards for the fairgrounds. | 01:02:21 | |
| Because there were. | 01:02:24 | |
| There were too many to get. | 01:02:26 | |
| A coalition of. | 01:02:29 | |
| Of staff together to get a. | 01:02:31 | |
| A total for that amount. | 01:02:34 | |
| And we are working on that as well. So we should be sending that information to the board in the next say 3 to 4 weeks. | 01:02:36 | |
| So you'll see a difference between these two. | 01:02:43 | |
| Properties for credit card purchases. | 01:02:47 | |
| And then? | 01:02:51 | |
| This slide, what we did is we just put the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat next to the fairgrounds and listed the funds and more | 01:02:52 | |
| general fund. | 01:02:55 | |
| The American Rescue Plan Act, which is ARPA. | 01:02:59 | |
| I just explained that to you. We also include non capital capital. | 01:03:02 | |
| General maintenance operation funds. | 01:03:07 | |
| I just wanted this board to know that the non capital capital. | 01:03:09 | |
| And general funds and the maintenance operations. | 01:03:13 | |
| All roll up into the general fund. | 01:03:16 | |
| So we consider them general fund. | 01:03:18 | |
| We just break it down based on the accounting principles and the rules and guidelines from the. | 01:03:22 | |
| Auditor General. | 01:03:27 | |
| And policy. | 01:03:29 | |
| We take those general funds and we break them down into those subcategories, non capital, capital. | 01:03:30 | |
| So for the purpose of this particular conversation, all of those funds are still considered general funds. | 01:03:36 | |
| So. | 01:03:42 | |
| So questions, Yeah. I have a quick question as we go forward. If you have questions, will you address me first, please? | 01:03:43 | |
| Pardon me. Yeah, as we go forward, if you have questions, please. | 01:03:52 | |
| Ask for time to speak. | 01:03:56 | |
| As we go forward. | 01:03:59 | |
| Well, I think we always have, but thank you. | 01:04:02 | |
| OK, Michael. | 01:04:04 | |
| On the veterans retreat and yes, I don't understand. | 01:04:06 | |
| The money that came from the state was actually a man may have to verify this too. | 01:04:11 | |
| Was rolled into our general fund until recently. | 01:04:17 | |
| Chairman, members of the board. I get into that later. | 01:04:22 | |
| Part of the presentation, but I'd be happy to answer that now if you would like. Well, I'm just saying here, right here on the | 01:04:25 | |
| Capitol. | 01:04:27 | |
| Heart of this is 245,000. | 01:04:30 | |
| Was any of the. | 01:04:37 | |
| State money or LATCF money? | 01:04:40 | |
| Part of that. So the LAT staff money in the state $3,000,000 are separate. | 01:04:42 | |
| Along with ARPA, so we have ARPA general fund, LATCF money. | 01:04:47 | |
| They're separate. The $3,000,000 was specifically. | 01:04:51 | |
| Given the Gila County. | 01:04:54 | |
| To spend at the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat for construction. | 01:04:56 | |
| So when we receive that money. | 01:05:00 | |
| That money was. | 01:05:02 | |
| Put into general fund. | 01:05:04 | |
| Which makes it difficult for staff to go back and. | 01:05:06 | |
| Determine what class are allowed to go to that. | 01:05:10 | |
| So, in other words, construction costs. | 01:05:13 | |
| Were the only thing that was allowed to be charged at $3,000,000. | 01:05:15 | |
| Right now we we, it's wrapped up into the general fund, so. | 01:05:19 | |
| There's operation cost, there's also utilities, those kinds of things. | 01:05:24 | |
| Are being charged to the general. | 01:05:28 | |
| But we have no way of providing an audit to the state about that $3,000,000. | 01:05:30 | |
| So what we're going to be doing is, is this is going to be on Marin and their staff. | 01:05:36 | |
| We're going to be taking that $3,000,000 and breaking it off into an individual line item. | 01:05:41 | |
| We couldn't do that this year. | 01:05:46 | |
| Because our our the Auditor General had already provided an audit for our budget. | 01:05:48 | |
| So we can't go. | 01:05:52 | |
| Back and make changes. | 01:05:53 | |
| So what we are going to be doing is making that change to this year's budget. | 01:05:55 | |
| Pulling that $3,000,000 out. | 01:06:00 | |
| And then journal entry. | 01:06:01 | |
| Those items that are considered construction. | 01:06:03 | |
| Since we received the $3,000,000. | 01:06:06 | |
| And charge it against that $3,000,000. So at any given time if this board wants to know. | 01:06:08 | |
| How much of that $3,000,000 we have left? | 01:06:13 | |
| Will be able to do it in a matter of seconds just by looking into our new world system. So that was the confusion there instead | 01:06:16 | |
| of. | 01:06:19 | |
| When we received it creating a line item separately right at front. | 01:06:23 | |
| It was, it was rolled up into the general fund, but we are going to correct that. So we'll have a better accounting. | 01:06:26 | |
| For those those that $3,000,000. | 01:06:32 | |
| That makes sense. | 01:06:34 | |
| Oh, I I didn't understand why it was put in the general fund to begin with like it was. | 01:06:35 | |
| I you know, I didn't understand that, but. | 01:06:40 | |
| So you will be able to go back and pull those costs out. | 01:06:43 | |
| And and put the rest of that money or whatever's left in its own fund or separate account. | 01:06:46 | |
| Yes, Sir, and. | 01:06:52 | |
| And as far as there really is not a lot of charges and I'll go into that. | 01:06:53 | |
| In I think slide 20. | 01:06:58 | |
| 2122, something like that. There's really not a lot of charges. What we have to do is we have to work with the County Attorney to | 01:07:00 | |
| get a definition of what construction means. | 01:07:04 | |
| Right, so. | 01:07:09 | |
| For example, I'll go over some of the costs is chip seal. | 01:07:11 | |
| A construction cost? We don't know. | 01:07:14 | |
| In my in my perspective, construction costs are going to be. | 01:07:17 | |
| Engineering. | 01:07:21 | |
| Architecture. Uh. | 01:07:22 | |
| And, you know, hiring. | 01:07:23 | |
| Licensed contractors through the procurement process to build something. | 01:07:26 | |
| Or put something on a building. | 01:07:30 | |
| As far as chip sealing and some other costs. | 01:07:32 | |
| I can't give you an exact answer until we get with the County Attorney and sort of agree on a definition of what construction is. | 01:07:35 | |
| Because it's very broad in the IGA. | 01:07:41 | |
| That this board signed with the state of Arizona in 2023, I think December 2023. | 01:07:44 | |
| That it basically said construction. | 01:07:50 | |
| Constructing of Pleasant Valley. | 01:07:52 | |
| Veterans retreat and then the definition of what is construction, we still need to hash out with the County Attorney. | 01:07:54 | |
| Right I. | 01:08:00 | |
| I don't disagree with that. I mean usually chip seeding means maintenance on. | 01:08:00 | |
| They wrote differences in this wasn't a paved Rd. | 01:08:05 | |
| Yeah, there's dirt. | 01:08:09 | |
| So to me it was like constructing. | 01:08:11 | |
| Oil based Rd. | 01:08:13 | |
| But uh. | 01:08:14 | |
| I mean, Joe, I guess would be going to tell you. But anyway, thank you for all that. | 01:08:15 | |
| You bet you, Sir. | 01:08:19 | |
| Any other questions before I move on? | 01:08:21 | |
| Thank you. | 01:08:23 | |
| So we're gonna start with the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat first. | 01:08:24 | |
| This is just a quick overview. | 01:08:27 | |
| Of what has been spent in the five years 2021 and 2026. | 01:08:30 | |
| 2.5. | 01:08:34 | |
| I'll stay there, Jonathan. | 01:08:35 | |
| Back 2.5. | 01:08:37 | |
| 9 million of projects operations. | 01:08:40 | |
| 807,000. | 01:08:42 | |
| And the guests served. | 01:08:44 | |
| Which are the veterans? | 01:08:46 | |
| 425, that's what we have reservations for. | 01:08:48 | |
| This does not count. | 01:08:51 | |
| Some of the guests that the not-for-profit. | 01:08:53 | |
| May have had events out there. | 01:08:56 | |
| So I do want to make that specific as far as. | 01:08:58 | |
| Annual meetings. | 01:09:02 | |
| By the utility company. | 01:09:04 | |
| Those kinds of things. This is just the the veterans who were signed up to spend. | 01:09:06 | |
| Overnight visits there. | 01:09:11 | |
| And then I'm going to go into more specific. Yes, Sir. So one thing Mr. Chair would point out on this deal and thank you for this | 01:09:12 | |
| putting it all together. | 01:09:16 | |
| But the way I figured it here on operations that operations covers A5 year span. | 01:09:19 | |
| So that comes out at $161,400. | 01:09:26 | |
| For a year. | 01:09:30 | |
| If you did now every twitch. | 01:09:31 | |
| That's what I did. | 01:09:33 | |
| Yep, Chairman members, the board, that's. | 01:09:34 | |
| That's true. | 01:09:36 | |
| If Emma goes, Oh yes, yes, yeah, my apologies, Jenna. | 01:09:37 | |
| Yeah, and and. | 01:09:40 | |
| It it's per year. | 01:09:43 | |
| It's not. | 01:09:46 | |
| Total divided because years change. | 01:09:47 | |
| As we go forward. | 01:09:49 | |
| That's not what says on top, Mr. Chair. | 01:09:51 | |
| 21 through 26, gentlemen and Members, if I may explain a little bit. | 01:09:53 | |
| This is the total cost over the years. | 01:09:57 | |
| But as you will see since I broke it down by year. | 01:09:59 | |
| The operations per year cost is increasing. | 01:10:02 | |
| I I understand that Michael. I'm just addressing this first page because I got more. | 01:10:06 | |
| To address as we go down there, but. | 01:10:10 | |
| No, this is over a five year term. | 01:10:12 | |
| Or stand and that comes out at 100. | 01:10:14 | |
| 61. | 01:10:16 | |
| 4 That's what I said. | 01:10:17 | |
| If you do that math, yes Sir, it is. Is that the true cost per year moving forward? | 01:10:23 | |
| I would disagree. | 01:10:28 | |
| So yeah, I and I accept that because I know that's going to change a little bit. I've already went through this and tabbed a lot | 01:10:29 | |
| of things I have questions or comments on, but. | 01:10:33 | |
| But I just wanted that to be made clear. | 01:10:37 | |
| We're not talking $807,000 a year. | 01:10:39 | |
| For this site. | 01:10:43 | |
| Correct. | 01:10:44 | |
| We're talking the total 807,000 / 5 years. | 01:10:45 | |
| And then it'll get a better sense when I go year by year. | 01:10:49 | |
| The increasing costs of this per year. | 01:10:52 | |
| And what the Board can expect if we continue. | 01:10:55 | |
| Operating this. | 01:10:57 | |
| What it would cost. Thank you, Michael. You betcha. | 01:10:59 | |
| Next slide. | 01:11:03 | |
| The and this is just a quick breakdown. | 01:11:05 | |
| Per year. | 01:11:09 | |
| Of the financial summary. | 01:11:10 | |
| This gives you an idea of what we're going to go into more detail of. | 01:11:12 | |
| Per year what we spent from what? | 01:11:16 | |
| Exactly that it comes out of. | 01:11:19 | |
| Do you have any questions about this slide before moving on? | 01:11:22 | |
| Mr. Chair, I got some. | 01:11:26 | |
| Yes, Sir, just just. | 01:11:28 | |
| So you can click it by mark. | 01:11:30 | |
| Under operating maintenance Ftes. | 01:11:33 | |
| Starts in 2003. | 01:11:36 | |
| And it starts at 20. | 01:11:39 | |
| 29,000. | 01:11:40 | |
| $524.88. | 01:11:42 | |
| And by this year? | 01:11:45 | |
| 2026. | 01:11:46 | |
| It is up. | 01:11:48 | |
| To $305,213. | 01:11:49 | |
| Umm. | 01:11:54 | |
| What, what, what cost? What am I? What am I? What am I missing here? Because FDA has not changed? | 01:11:58 | |
| In their sight. | 01:12:07 | |
| No, Sir, Chairman, members of the Board. | 01:12:09 | |
| Now this includes operations. | 01:12:12 | |
| And maintenance. | 01:12:14 | |
| And FTE. So there are three completely separate different categories. | 01:12:16 | |
| That, uh. | 01:12:21 | |
| Our roll up into operating costs, so you have the Fdes. | 01:12:21 | |
| You have their salaries, you have their Ers, which are employee related expenses. We sort of calculate that by. | 01:12:25 | |
| Taking the salary. | 01:12:31 | |
| And 40% of that salary added on top. | 01:12:32 | |
| That's for insurance. | 01:12:35 | |
| Pension, that kind of those kinds of things. | 01:12:37 | |
| The operating costs of utilities are the contract for cleaning, are they? | 01:12:39 | |
| Weeds are. | 01:12:44 | |
| The maintenance of the buildings. | 01:12:45 | |
| Those kinds of things, so it all adds up into one. | 01:12:47 | |
| So, umm. | 01:12:50 | |
| We can split that out. | 01:12:51 | |
| We certainly can. | 01:12:53 | |
| We have two full time people there. | 01:12:54 | |
| So if you if this board would like just a separate. | 01:12:59 | |
| Accounting of the two Ftes. | 01:13:03 | |
| Plus their Ers. We could do that by the. | 01:13:05 | |
| Sometime during this meeting. | 01:13:08 | |
| You could do it in a couple minutes if you would like. | 01:13:09 | |
| It doesn't matter to me. I mean, that'd be fine, but what I'm looking for is, is a true operating? | 01:13:12 | |
| Asked and so. | 01:13:17 | |
| Like maintenance? | 01:13:20 | |
| In there. | 01:13:21 | |
| Was there some one time costs in there on a particular year that wouldn't roll over to the next year? | 01:13:25 | |
| Was the maintenance on buildings considered maintenance or or new construction? | 01:13:30 | |
| Those are the things that I would like to see. | 01:13:35 | |
| Because. | 01:13:38 | |
| That has a big impact. | 01:13:39 | |
| On the overall operations of that site. | 01:13:40 | |
| The chairman and members of the board you have this includes. | 01:13:44 | |
| This is this is our definition of what we. | 01:13:47 | |
| Would define his operating cost for any building. | 01:13:50 | |
| Is the Ftes plus the. | 01:13:53 | |
| The cost for maintenance. | 01:13:55 | |
| Maintenance, preparing, plumbing, those kinds of things. | 01:13:57 | |
| And we could always pull that out. It would take some time, but we we always include those three things into your talking because | 01:14:00 | |
| that is the true cost. | 01:14:04 | |
| Of maintaining a property is you have employees. | 01:14:09 | |
| That are that are doing that. | 01:14:12 | |
| 100%, yeah, your 100% right. I'm totally on board with you there. | 01:14:14 | |
| I just want to see all the other costs and another question, my last question on this particular page. | 01:14:18 | |
| Is these costs? | 01:14:25 | |
| All rolled into that 800 and. | 01:14:27 | |
| $1000. | 01:14:30 | |
| Five year annual. | 01:14:31 | |
| Operating costs, are they all a part of that? | 01:14:33 | |
| Yes, they're all a part of it. OK, so. | 01:14:35 | |
| Over five years, on an average, it was still back to the 161,000. | 01:14:37 | |
| Yes, if you do that math. | 01:14:43 | |
| From this particular side, what I'm trying to depict to this board is. | 01:14:45 | |
| Is the operating costs are increasing? | 01:14:49 | |
| Well, they may. I'm not denying that they may increase. I mean we. | 01:14:51 | |
| We started with the fairgrounds that operating cost that was really. | 01:14:56 | |
| Really low. | 01:14:59 | |
| Or we're really high now. I mean, the more we do, the more we improve, whatever. | 01:15:01 | |
| I get that. | 01:15:06 | |
| I'm just wanting to. | 01:15:06 | |
| To get a solid. | 01:15:08 | |
| Figure on where we are today. | 01:15:10 | |
| And to verify what what we're looking at is true maintenance costs. What what are they? Yeah, you're right. | 01:15:13 | |
| You know, painting a building. | 01:15:20 | |
| We'd eaten the. | 01:15:22 | |
| Their grounds fixing lakes, I get that. | 01:15:23 | |
| So yes, they're an absolutely right about the fairgrounds too, which we started 2021, there was 0 as well. | 01:15:27 | |
| So you'll see an increase. | 01:15:33 | |
| With the fairgrounds as well. | 01:15:35 | |
| You're absolutely right, Sir. | 01:15:37 | |
| Supervisor, Christians and go ahead. | 01:15:40 | |
| Michael Silver 305,000. | 01:15:42 | |
| And it's increasing. | 01:15:45 | |
| But you have 3. | 01:15:48 | |
| Cost in their operations. | 01:15:51 | |
| Operating maintenance and. | 01:15:55 | |
| Dollars. So if the. | 01:15:57 | |
| For the most part, will stay the same. | 01:15:59 | |
| Then the increase is going to be from operating and maintenance. | 01:16:02 | |
| How? And I don't think you have anywhere where that's actually broken out, but let's say. | 01:16:05 | |
| Is this reoccurring maintenance or is this one time maintenance? | 01:16:13 | |
| It adds to this figure. | 01:16:18 | |
| In other words, like, OK, we painted an entire building. We're not going to do that every year. | 01:16:20 | |
| Right. And so? | 01:16:25 | |
| It's and there's not enough breakdown for me to see whether or not this is reoccurring, consistent, annual. | 01:16:28 | |
| Maintenance costs or whether it's. | 01:16:36 | |
| Higher maintenance this year than the year before, but I think I broke it down a little bit further and the slides in 2026 and | 01:16:39 | |
| 2025 as far as what the hell. | 01:16:44 | |
| But if you require more specifics after I get to that part, I'll have. | 01:16:49 | |
| Our facility director, Joseph, come here and explain exactly what each category is. Thank you. Yeah, you guys. | 01:16:54 | |
| OK. | 01:17:02 | |
| Continue. | 01:17:04 | |
| And again, this is just a recap of some of the categories of where the money was spent. | 01:17:09 | |
| I just give you a basic. | 01:17:15 | |
| Overview of it before I go into specifics per year. | 01:17:17 | |
| And exactly what some of the money was spent on. If you notice, the largest project was the remodel. | 01:17:21 | |
| If you recall, that was the remodel project we hired a state contractor for. | 01:17:27 | |
| Which which ended up to be. | 01:17:33 | |
| Really good project for this and that was paid for by the. | 01:17:35 | |
| Funding, umm. | 01:17:38 | |
| Most of this was paid for the ARPA funding. | 01:17:40 | |
| With some cost coming from the capital improvement. | 01:17:42 | |
| Which is the general fund? | 01:17:45 | |
| So question about that. | 01:17:47 | |
| No, I, Mr. Chair. | 01:17:52 | |
| This showing that as the ARPA money would have been prior to 23, correct? | 01:17:57 | |
| The opera money, I believe, was spent in 24. | 01:18:05 | |
| OK. But I have that on another slide. | 01:18:09 | |
| How much was spent? | 01:18:14 | |
| Or can you tell me this? | 01:18:16 | |
| Out of the state money for some of this. | 01:18:18 | |
| I will be able to tell you, but the state money is. | 01:18:22 | |
| And we can go. | 01:18:26 | |
| In a later slide to discuss that. | 01:18:28 | |
| Sir, as far as the $3,000,000? | 01:18:30 | |
| I have the exact number here. | 01:18:34 | |
| But it's sort of. | 01:18:36 | |
| Out of oh. | 01:18:38 | |
| You can go into it right now if you would like, Sir. So we have. | 01:18:40 | |
| $3,000,000 if you. | 01:18:43 | |
| If you take into account the IGA was signed by this board in December 2020. | 01:18:45 | |
| Three, I believe. | 01:18:50 | |
| So basically let's just use 2024 as the baseline for the $3,000,000. | 01:18:51 | |
| And I've already talked about we still have to get with the County Attorney to get a definition of construction. | 01:18:57 | |
| In 2024 there was 0 money spent. | 01:19:03 | |
| Right, that that could have been considered construction. | 01:19:06 | |
| In 2025. | 01:19:10 | |
| There is zero money. | 01:19:12 | |
| That we could consider construction. | 01:19:13 | |
| OK, hang on on that one. Oh well, until you get a. | 01:19:16 | |
| Get a deal back from. | 01:19:20 | |
| The CA's office correct because the chip sale was done in 25, correct? | 01:19:23 | |
| And the solar? | 01:19:27 | |
| Panel install is going on now, but that was started. | 01:19:29 | |
| And 24 I think. | 01:19:33 | |
| Right, 2026 is where we actually have the money for the solar panel installation being charged to the right now, right now. So we | 01:19:35 | |
| consider that part of the 2026 and the gate and gave you on baskets was done in 25 completed. | 01:19:42 | |
| Yes. And that's done in 26 as well. So it's been charged 26, so. | 01:19:51 | |
| And 2025. | 01:19:56 | |
| No project would have been considered. | 01:19:58 | |
| Construction and charge the three million except for the chip seal. | 01:20:01 | |
| And we don't know if that can be charged so until we get a definition from the. | 01:20:05 | |
| County Attorney on construction. We're just going to count it as zero right now. | 01:20:11 | |
| And then and then in 2026, we had several of them we had. | 01:20:14 | |
| That's been charged that we can. | 01:20:19 | |
| Put towards the three million, we have about 51,000 for the design of the multi use building in Ava cabin. | 01:20:21 | |
| That's been charged. | 01:20:27 | |
| To the county already. | 01:20:28 | |
| Even though we know you'll see at a later slide, the total cost for that is about. | 01:20:30 | |
| 250,000 right. | 01:20:33 | |
| But we've only been charged 51,000. | 01:20:35 | |
| That, I'm guessing could be charged at 3 million. | 01:20:38 | |
| We have the gate and gabion baskets at about 8200. | 01:20:42 | |
| I'm guessing that could be charged because that was heavily designed and part of construction. | 01:20:46 | |
| There's a 7000 solar panel installation that's been. | 01:20:50 | |
| Billed to the county already. | 01:20:54 | |
| The total for that contract is about 40,000. | 01:20:55 | |
| 7000 of that has been built to the county. | 01:20:58 | |
| And I think that could be built to the 3,000,000 as well. | 01:21:01 | |
| It all up and I threw in there the chip seal. | 01:21:05 | |
| And I added it all up. | 01:21:07 | |
| If you include the chip seal for 2026, we have about $122,000 that. | 01:21:11 | |
| May be charged to the $3,000,000. | 01:21:16 | |
| 67,000 of that. | 01:21:20 | |
| I'm guessing candy charged if you take out the chip zoo. | 01:21:22 | |
| I hope that explains it. | 01:21:26 | |
| We were getting closer. You look good. Keep asking your questions but. | 01:21:27 | |
| Marriage used to it. The my next question is though the one above it is the survey for that property. | 01:21:32 | |
| That survey had to be complete in order to have. | 01:21:39 | |
| Bill for the conveyance. | 01:21:42 | |
| Yes, Sir. | 01:21:45 | |
| So, umm. | 01:21:46 | |
| Chairman of the Board. | 01:21:48 | |
| Just a quick history of the survey. | 01:21:49 | |
| There's several things on that. | 01:21:52 | |
| Conveyance language that the county has to pay for if the federal government conveys that property to Gila County. | 01:21:53 | |
| One of them is a survey. | 01:22:00 | |
| And another one is an environmental. | 01:22:02 | |
| Survey which includes archaeological. | 01:22:04 | |
| We're we don't have a price. | 01:22:07 | |
| Quote, we're working on a price quote to get that done because that's. | 01:22:09 | |
| It's a big project as well since it's over 200 acres out there. | 01:22:13 | |
| The survey. | 01:22:17 | |
| Was done simply because. | 01:22:20 | |
| We're working on the licensing agreement for the not-for-profit in Gila County. | 01:22:22 | |
| And we realized during the process that the legal description. | 01:22:27 | |
| Of the original special use permit with Gila County and the US Forest Service needed up. | 01:22:33 | |
| Updated I did. | 01:22:37 | |
| And, and so we decided, Mr. Menlove decided at that time to. | 01:22:39 | |
| Hire out to get a survey done. | 01:22:44 | |
| Which worked very well. | 01:22:46 | |
| That survey was charged to the general fund. | 01:22:48 | |
| As well. So, so and that's good to know, Michael. I just see that it's, it's like it's all right here on the same line for the | 01:22:51 | |
| same price. | 01:22:55 | |
| Legal Services. | 01:22:59 | |
| Is that the? | 01:23:01 | |
| Dad, is that the attorney's fee that we had to go outside and hire for? | 01:23:03 | |
| The licensing agreement. | 01:23:08 | |
| Chairman, members of the board, Yes. | 01:23:09 | |
| One of the one of their. | 01:23:12 | |
| The County Attorney let the county administration know that. | 01:23:14 | |
| We are more than welcome to go out. | 01:23:18 | |
| Outside and higher. | 01:23:20 | |
| Legal. | 01:23:22 | |
| Advice. | 01:23:22 | |
| And to look at some of these projects and things like that. So that's exactly what we have done. | 01:23:23 | |
| OK. And then the web development was for the website? | 01:23:28 | |
| That site and so all this is coming out of general funds. | 01:23:33 | |
| Yes, Sir. OK. | 01:23:36 | |
| OK, Yeah, I. | 01:23:39 | |
| I have a question if I can ask that question. | 01:23:41 | |
| No, you're you're, you're good, OK. | 01:23:45 | |
| Well, that's why I. | 01:23:48 | |
| Yeah, 'cause. | 01:23:49 | |
| We get into things that are going to be covered in the future. | 01:23:50 | |
| But while we're here. | 01:23:53 | |
| Doing the survey, doing the licensing. | 01:23:55 | |
| Are we licensed to operate? | 01:23:57 | |
| A PVR. | 01:24:00 | |
| At this point in time. | 01:24:02 | |
| Chairman. Members of the board. | 01:24:04 | |
| At this time, we do not have a licensing agreement in place. | 01:24:06 | |
| That's an item, that's an answer. Have we ever been licensed? | 01:24:09 | |
| No, Sir. OK, ask and answer. OK, let's get back to the presentation. | 01:24:14 | |
| The next slide, please. We're going to start at 2021. This is going to be an easy year. | 01:24:21 | |
| Because this has, this is our baseline year. | 01:24:25 | |
| Which has 0 cost. | 01:24:28 | |
| We really didn't start working on the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat till 2022. | 01:24:29 | |
| So, umm. | 01:24:34 | |
| And that's what we do. We go right into 2022. | 01:24:37 | |
| Where you see where it's just a little bit of cost. | 01:24:40 | |
| 3038 thousand and I have it broken down. | 01:24:43 | |
| This is when. | 01:24:48 | |
| At some point in time, the Board of Supervisors. | 01:24:49 | |
| Approved. Noted by direction. | 01:24:53 | |
| To the county manager for two Fte's. | 01:24:55 | |
| For this particular property. | 01:24:58 | |
| So, uh. | 01:25:00 | |
| This is a good slide to see that we're preparing to get more into the operations of the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat. | 01:25:01 | |
| But it's only about 38,000 and. | 01:25:08 | |
| This particular year. | 01:25:10 | |
| And the next slide is just breaking that down a little bit better for you. | 01:25:12 | |
| The 38,000 most of that was paid for by the ARPA fund. | 01:25:19 | |
| On the setup we had. | 01:25:23 | |
| Ice chest we're releasing golf carts for. | 01:25:25 | |
| For activities out there. | 01:25:29 | |
| And then also the niche out. | 01:25:30 | |
| Which is which is a process you have to go through. | 01:25:32 | |
| With these properties, the US Forest Service. | 01:25:35 | |
| And then? | 01:25:39 | |
| We had additional 22,000 in credit card purchases and that breaks it down there, so. | 01:25:41 | |
| And at this particular time, we had no operating costs as far as FTE's maintenance utility goes. | 01:25:47 | |
| And we go into 2023. | 01:25:55 | |
| Where you could start to see that we're spending a lot of our money there. | 01:25:56 | |
| Sort of remodel. | 01:26:01 | |
| Again, the ARPA money is the COVID. | 01:26:04 | |
| Then we we go into some capital fund expenses. | 01:26:07 | |
| Ftes we had a part time. | 01:26:11 | |
| Part time employee out at. | 01:26:13 | |
| The Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat, who is part of the maintenance team out there? | 01:26:15 | |
| So you start to see that we're we're we're kicking into some of the maintenance and operations of the Pleasant Valley Federal | 01:26:19 | |
| industry, which is normal. | 01:26:23 | |
| If you're going to be out there. | 01:26:27 | |
| And then I just broke down the. | 01:26:29 | |
| The part. | 01:26:32 | |
| The credit card transactions. | 01:26:34 | |
| Most of them were paid for by ARPA and Capital. | 01:26:36 | |
| And we're going to go into more specifics in the next slide. | 01:26:40 | |
| About that. So if you see at the very bottom, I included about 57. | 01:26:43 | |
| Well, in this particular side. | 01:26:48 | |
| We're at the 2023 credit card. | 01:26:51 | |
| There you go, the 57,000. | 01:26:53 | |
| Was the for the ARPA class for kids and cabinets, kitchen counters, furniture, TV setups. | 01:26:57 | |
| So the remodel or the remodel? | 01:27:04 | |
| For the 1.7 million covered the buildings, remodeling it and the outsides, this is sort of getting the insides of these buildings | 01:27:06 | |
| ready. | 01:27:10 | |
| To get better and stay there. | 01:27:15 | |
| Questions about this? | 01:27:18 | |
| Everybody declined questions. | 01:27:21 | |
| No, I'm good. | 01:27:22 | |
| Supervisor Christensen Well, I guess the only they just kind of came to me. Did did any of these purchases come? | 01:27:23 | |
| Before the board for approval or is it just? | 01:27:30 | |
| Part of the. | 01:27:32 | |
| Ability for the manager to. | 01:27:37 | |
| Just approved 10 AM. | 01:27:39 | |
| I believe it was the combination of contracts under 50,000 and just the direction by the county administration, OK. | 01:27:41 | |
| Thank you. | 01:27:48 | |
| And the next slide? | 01:27:51 | |
| The projects and funding source, it goes over again in a little bit more detail. | 01:27:52 | |
| Some of the. | 01:27:57 | |
| What the money was spent on? | 01:27:58 | |
| If you look at the ARPA funded projects, the first line to 290,000. | 01:28:01 | |
| It included Earthquest plumbing, blinds and. | 01:28:05 | |
| And the cloud system for the network, for the for the computer system out there. | 01:28:08 | |
| Yeah. | 01:28:14 | |
| Earthquest Plumbing was brought in simply because the system was old. | 01:28:15 | |
| And, umm. | 01:28:19 | |
| During the model process. | 01:28:20 | |
| It was determined that. | 01:28:23 | |
| The on site wastewater system. | 01:28:24 | |
| Needed. Needed. | 01:28:26 | |
| Have a lot of leaks fixed and a lot of lines were placed so that's. | 01:28:28 | |
| For the majority of costs came from here, and that was paid for by ARPA. | 01:28:31 | |
| And then we get into the operating costs supervisor client a little bit more specific. | 01:28:35 | |
| Which includes all of those, and of course we can always break those out. | 01:28:41 | |
| If we wanted to to get more specifics. | 01:28:46 | |
| The exact cost for utilities. Legal janitorial. | 01:28:50 | |
| It's all. | 01:28:53 | |
| How we app? | 01:28:55 | |
| How we sort of categorize operational costs and facilities. | 01:28:56 | |
| These all are what it takes to operate the building. | 01:28:59 | |
| So that's why it's in that particular fund. Mr. Chair, I have one question on this one. That's just clarification, Michael. | 01:29:03 | |
| On legal on this, because we talked about the legal part of it a while back. | 01:29:12 | |
| And the legal part of it that I remember, there was a. | 01:29:17 | |
| Under 50 contract done for about $49,000. | 01:29:20 | |
| We're now outside attorney. | 01:29:25 | |
| To help with. | 01:29:27 | |
| Putting the licensing together. | 01:29:28 | |
| But that was the one time. | 01:29:30 | |
| Cost, wasn't it? | 01:29:32 | |
| Chairman, Supervisor, Clients, Christian So. | 01:29:34 | |
| A little bit more to that, but that was a one time cost. | 01:29:37 | |
| It's about $49,000 for the licensing and we're. | 01:29:42 | |
| We're to the point of presenting that licensing agreement to the Board August 4th during that session. | 01:29:46 | |
| And in the outside law firm that we hired ballots far. | 01:29:52 | |
| The attorney, Michael Ostermeier, is going to be here to present that to the board. | 01:29:56 | |
| So that was a one time cost. | 01:30:00 | |
| The challenge here is if there's any. | 01:30:01 | |
| Additional cost to. | 01:30:04 | |
| Mr. Ostermeyer. | 01:30:07 | |
| If there's a glitch. | 01:30:08 | |
| I'll say the not-for-profit attorney. | 01:30:11 | |
| Wants to make some changes to the licensing agreement. | 01:30:13 | |
| Before signing it. | 01:30:15 | |
| Right, there's. | 01:30:17 | |
| Those are added costs in my. | 01:30:18 | |
| To the balance bar. | 01:30:20 | |
| So at 49,000, he's gonna charge us more money. | 01:30:21 | |
| So that 49,000 kicks it above 50,000. So there's going to be delay because I'll have to get that 50,000. | 01:30:24 | |
| And over in front of the board. | 01:30:31 | |
| Discussion SO. | 01:30:32 | |
| So that's where we're at with that. | 01:30:34 | |
| But. | 01:30:37 | |
| But that's only if. | 01:30:38 | |
| I mean, there's groups involved here. | 01:30:39 | |
| Correct. So just. | 01:30:41 | |
| So to me the 49,000 was a one time cost. | 01:30:42 | |
| Right now as it stands. | 01:30:46 | |
| And so that shouldn't roll into anymore. | 01:30:48 | |
| Operating costs. | 01:30:51 | |
| In general, until. | 01:30:53 | |
| The time comes if we need to have more. | 01:30:54 | |
| Legal. | 01:30:57 | |
| And let me point out something real quick. The reason that we have to go to the outside attorney is because our CA's office. | 01:30:58 | |
| Wouldn't see anything on this pet center. | 01:31:04 | |
| That's why we spent the $49,000. | 01:31:07 | |
| Because we needed to work towards. | 01:31:10 | |
| Licensing agreement. | 01:31:13 | |
| Yes, I just want to make that clear. | 01:31:15 | |
| I'm hoping. | 01:31:17 | |
| Nothing happens with the licensing agreement to go over 50,000. | 01:31:18 | |
| And then we go to the next page with the credit card summary for 2024. | 01:31:25 | |
| And that just breaks it down even a little bit further as far as the cost in the categories. | 01:31:29 | |
| So you'll see. | 01:31:34 | |
| Almost 12,000 of that. | 01:31:36 | |
| Was covered by ARPA. | 01:31:38 | |
| And about 2.3000 that was covered by the general fund and this breaks down exactly. | 01:31:39 | |
| What, what categories do we place them into so we really break them down? | 01:31:46 | |
| Into exactly what the credit card purchases were for. | 01:31:50 | |
| And if there are no questions, I'll go into 2025. | 01:31:56 | |
| Again, we're going to see the same format. | 01:32:00 | |
| We're going to go through. | 01:32:02 | |
| Overall projects and break it down a little further in the slides that follow. | 01:32:04 | |
| I did put if you'll see in in 2025, you see the guest served. I did put that on top of the right. | 01:32:09 | |
| Just to show you how many veterans have used this facility per year. | 01:32:15 | |
| That's also what this board would. | 01:32:20 | |
| Wanted from staff to provide. | 01:32:22 | |
| And again, as a reminder, this is just the reservations that we know of. | 01:32:24 | |
| And any other events out there. | 01:32:28 | |
| That were held, that didn't have overnight gas. | 01:32:31 | |
| Cancer in this SO. | 01:32:34 | |
| OK, Mr. Chair, if I may, I have another question on this one. | 01:32:36 | |
| I mean once again it shows up this. | 01:32:39 | |
| Chip seal assistance? I don't understand what chip seal assistance is in 25. | 01:32:41 | |
| So is there? Yeah. | 01:32:47 | |
| So, Mr. Chair, if I may. | 01:32:54 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 01:32:57 | |
| There are several line items. | 01:32:58 | |
| That go into chip seal. | 01:33:01 | |
| We had $25,000. | 01:33:05 | |
| Can change for one line item for peace and concrete. | 01:33:08 | |
| Another 2400 for Pace and Concrete. | 01:33:12 | |
| And then? | 01:33:15 | |
| Staff time of 17,000. | 01:33:17 | |
| And then we also had a line item sector emulsion. | 01:33:21 | |
| Which is more of the material? | 01:33:26 | |
| Western emotions would have been the fog seal. That was the last thing that was done on the chip seal. | 01:33:28 | |
| Staff time of 17,000 What? | 01:33:34 | |
| What is that? | 01:33:38 | |
| From the roads crew provide work to a non roads project. Their time has to be right. | 01:33:41 | |
| Over. | 01:33:48 | |
| Yeah. So that's what that is. | 01:33:50 | |
| OK. And then there again. | 01:33:52 | |
| Michael. | 01:33:54 | |
| Is we're still showing. | 01:33:55 | |
| In this 25 projects and. | 01:33:57 | |
| Funding as as well. | 01:34:00 | |
| It seems like it keeps carrying through here, so I would assume you've. | 01:34:04 | |
| Puts attached some kind of a dollar figure to it, didn't you? | 01:34:08 | |
| We did, but it just depends on when it hits the budget. | 01:34:13 | |
| OK. But that's when we pull, when we pull the financial information for these presentation, it depends. | 01:34:18 | |
| It's 49, nine for the total. | 01:34:23 | |
| Contract. | 01:34:27 | |
| But it depends on when that. | 01:34:28 | |
| Part of that 49 hits to 2025 budget or the. | 01:34:30 | |
| Or the 2026, so the overall. | 01:34:33 | |
| Legal legal bill for Gila County for a licensing agreement IS499. | 01:34:36 | |
| And and that wasn't paid at the time the contract was. | 01:34:42 | |
| Correct. They would bill us for the services, Sir. And then? | 01:34:47 | |
| And then as you know, since the survey had to be done in the legal description, it sort of extended that project. | 01:34:50 | |
| Into the next budget year. | 01:34:57 | |
| So do you know how? | 01:34:59 | |
| Well, I guess it's immaterial, but. | 01:35:00 | |
| Yeah. See, this is what's been confusing to me going through this is things like this. | 01:35:03 | |
| The 49,000 the way you're explaining it to me. | 01:35:08 | |
| Is is kind of laid out through. | 01:35:11 | |
| Multiple years. | 01:35:13 | |
| The five years. | 01:35:14 | |
| Mr. Chairman, if I may, you may. | 01:35:16 | |
| The purchase order was issued. | 01:35:19 | |
| May 5th of 2025 in the amount of 49 thousand 55791. | 01:35:22 | |
| 18,566 Fifty. | 01:35:27 | |
| Was expended in fiscal 25. | 01:35:30 | |
| The purchase order remaining amount of 30 thousand 99141. | 01:35:33 | |
| Rolled over into fiscal 26. | 01:35:38 | |
| And that amount was fully expended. | 01:35:41 | |
| So you'll see 18,566 in fiscal 25. | 01:35:44 | |
| And another 30,991 forty one in fiscal 26. | 01:35:48 | |
| There is a second. | 01:35:53 | |
| Agreement with Ballard Sparr. | 01:35:56 | |
| For legal services for Pleasant Valley veterans retreat procurement. | 01:35:58 | |
| That was issued on December 9th of 2025, which is fiscal 26. | 01:36:03 | |
| And that purchase order amount was in the amount of 41,272. | 01:36:08 | |
| Of that amount, 41151 dollars has been expended. | 01:36:14 | |
| OK, so basically from excuse me man. | 01:36:18 | |
| May 25 on forward till today is when our legal services is taking place. | 01:36:22 | |
| There may have been other legal services not related to Ballard's Bar. | 01:36:28 | |
| For example, setting up the nonprofit and things like that work sentence to the county. | 01:36:33 | |
| I don't think that was the case. A nonprofit if they paid for self or whatever. | 01:36:38 | |
| But I going back here in 24. | 01:36:43 | |
| We still show legal as part of 24. | 01:36:46 | |
| Let me pull my. | 01:36:53 | |
| Chairman, I'm sorry to ask these questions guys, but this is very confusing and misleading when you look at actual costs and | 01:36:55 | |
| Chairman, members of the Board, the second contract for legal, if you remember the first one is for the licensing agreement. The | 01:37:00 | |
| second one was for. | 01:37:04 | |
| All of the construction projects out of Pleasant Valley, the. | 01:37:09 | |
| The County Attorney sent us notification. | 01:37:14 | |
| That we were. | 01:37:17 | |
| That they were. | 01:37:19 | |
| OK. With us getting outside counsel to help us with the procurement. So that's the second 41,000, so total between 49 and 41. | 01:37:20 | |
| Average is is basically for the. | 01:37:30 | |
| Two contracts were legal that we're talking about Pleasant Valley. | 01:37:32 | |
| There was a possible third one. | 01:37:35 | |
| But the County Attorney? | 01:37:38 | |
| I was able to. | 01:37:39 | |
| Review and approve the form the special Use Permit update. | 01:37:41 | |
| Which included the new legal description. | 01:37:45 | |
| From the Forest Service. | 01:37:48 | |
| So there was talk about 1/3. | 01:37:49 | |
| Contract with. | 01:37:52 | |
| Balance on to do that but that did not come to fruition the County Attorney agreed to take on that project and so thank you for | 01:37:53 | |
| reminding me of that because I forgot not only. | 01:37:57 | |
| The city's office wasn't approving anything that had to do with PVR. | 01:38:02 | |
| For a time frame but. | 01:38:06 | |
| I was thinking for some reason that the licensing agreement was the first thing we had to address, that maybe it was the second. | 01:38:07 | |
| I don't know. | 01:38:14 | |
| Chairman and members of the board. Professor Klein it was. | 01:38:15 | |
| The licensing agreement was the first one. | 01:38:18 | |
| OK. And the the second contract with ballots bar for the? | 01:38:21 | |
| Procurement process. | 01:38:27 | |
| Came about the last 12 months here. | 01:38:29 | |
| So that's sort of the logistics. So that's just what I'm looking for is clarification on some of this because. | 01:38:31 | |
| It is important that we get these facts and figures down. | 01:38:37 | |
| As close as we can get to since it seems to be a factor for the operating. | 01:38:40 | |
| Absolutely, Sir. | 01:38:45 | |
| OK. We may need to get back with you on the information on 20. | 01:38:47 | |
| Or that you asked for. Aaron is looking at her notes. Yeah, until. | 01:38:51 | |
| Michael, if you'd like to. | 01:38:56 | |
| Go ahead with the presentation if that's OK. | 01:38:57 | |
| Yes, OK. | 01:39:01 | |
| Yes Sir, the 2025 project and funding sources. | 01:39:03 | |
| Are there any questions regarding this right now? | 01:39:06 | |
| Chairman. Members of the board. | 01:39:10 | |
| Something that was said. | 01:39:13 | |
| In very brief, real quick in passing. | 01:39:16 | |
| I need to have you clarify, Michael. | 01:39:19 | |
| When it came to establishing the 501C3, there seemed to be. | 01:39:21 | |
| So something you said about. | 01:39:26 | |
| How we paid for that. | 01:39:28 | |
| Is something that's by the. | 01:39:30 | |
| No, we didn't. | 01:39:32 | |
| They paid for that. | 01:39:33 | |
| Did I misunderstand what I was hearing? Chairman, members of the board? That was the conversation. And Mary have a supervisor. | 01:39:35 | |
| Klein and Marin is going to be looking that up right now. | 01:39:39 | |
| She's searching if there were. | 01:39:43 | |
| Any general funds attributed to creation of the non. | 01:39:45 | |
| OK, Yeah, OK. That was that was. | 01:39:49 | |
| Alright. | 01:39:52 | |
| Should have that information. That's all right, You know. Thanks. | 01:39:54 | |
| And then I'll move on to the next one with the credit card summary for 2025. | 01:39:59 | |
| And this basically tells you there weren't too many credit card purchases but what they were for. | 01:40:04 | |
| It looks like the inside of houses it setup. | 01:40:09 | |
| Network, uh. | 01:40:12 | |
| And some household items. | 01:40:13 | |
| And those were charged to the general fund. | 01:40:19 | |
| In this particular year. | 01:40:21 | |
| And being that they were on a credit card, they never came before the. | 01:40:24 | |
| Correct, Sir. | 01:40:28 | |
| OK. | 01:40:29 | |
| That 2026 annual. | 01:40:32 | |
| Here we go with this one, and this is up until this point of the year. | 01:40:34 | |
| So this isn't the complete year, obviously. | 01:40:39 | |
| We're at the end of July. | 01:40:42 | |
| The gift serves 74 right now. | 01:40:43 | |
| The capital projects about 150,000. | 01:40:46 | |
| And the operating costs? | 01:40:49 | |
| Which include. | 01:40:50 | |
| All the other. | 01:40:52 | |
| You see, we've we've gotten a vehicle. | 01:40:53 | |
| For the Pleasant Valley veterans you treat out there for the employees. | 01:40:56 | |
| We didn't want the employee traveling to from globe or patient without a. | 01:41:00 | |
| An appropriate vehicle for safety issues and things like that, so. | 01:41:04 | |
| These are all of the cost, the operation costs which include the FT, ES. | 01:41:08 | |
| Utilities. | 01:41:13 | |
| Some of the software. | 01:41:15 | |
| For Ahila County facilities to operate. | 01:41:16 | |
| The reservation system out there and those kinds of things. | 01:41:20 | |
| And then the capital projects is? | 01:41:23 | |
| We threw all the capital projects. | 01:41:25 | |
| Has 148,000 a chip seal? | 01:41:27 | |
| The survey to gabion baskets to razor thin. | 01:41:30 | |
| Razor Thin Media was hired to do some work. | 01:41:33 | |
| I'm guessing I don't really. | 01:41:36 | |
| Recall what it was hired for, but I'm guessing the website. | 01:41:38 | |
| Development. Uh. | 01:41:40 | |
| For Clinton Valley veterans Retreat. | 01:41:41 | |
| Possibly the helping with the. | 01:41:45 | |
| Reservation system. | 01:41:49 | |
| I'd have to double check with razor thin media with Cameron on this. What what particular services? Unless supervisor climbing, I | 01:41:51 | |
| think the reservation services that. | 01:41:56 | |
| That program was paid for by the nonprofit and still waiting to be implemented. | 01:42:01 | |
| Once the licensing agreement is. | 01:42:07 | |
| In place. | 01:42:09 | |
| So this might be some other work they've done for Heliconia. I could double check on that. | 01:42:11 | |
| And I think Mary could be a child. | 01:42:16 | |
| Giving marinola for a hollow work. | 01:42:21 | |
| So questions about this before I move on. | 01:42:24 | |
| It's in all of these costs we're out of general fund. | 01:42:28 | |
| All of these costs. | 01:42:32 | |
| Were out of general fund, that is correct. | 01:42:33 | |
| Thank you. | 01:42:36 | |
| 2026 projects and funding source. This goes in a little bit more detail. | 01:42:39 | |
| As far as? | 01:42:44 | |
| Where the money for this particular year was spent. | 01:42:46 | |
| And I just want to point out just as an example. | 01:42:48 | |
| I mentioned before. | 01:42:51 | |
| And you go down to the third line. | 01:42:53 | |
| With construction. | 01:42:54 | |
| The 51,000 for. | 01:42:56 | |
| The design. | 01:42:58 | |
| That is, the total contract that this board approved is about 250,000. | 01:43:00 | |
| But this is just how much the Gila County has paid to BWS Architecture for their services. So. | 01:43:05 | |
| It's sort of. I just want this board to understand that. | 01:43:12 | |
| And I will have a slide after this to show the total costs. | 01:43:16 | |
| And how much we've paid right now. So I hope that isn't confusing. | 01:43:20 | |
| Mr. Chair, I mean, it's. | 01:43:26 | |
| No, it's you're absolutely right. And I look at that BWS architect and engineering. | 01:43:28 | |
| They are the cheaper engineering. | 01:43:33 | |
| Company we've ever hired. | 01:43:35 | |
| Most of them are in excess of $200,000 so. | 01:43:37 | |
| So I'm pretty proud of that. | 01:43:41 | |
| And also I would like this board to know that the ADA cabin. | 01:43:44 | |
| As far as that goes, the ADA cabin. | 01:43:47 | |
| We received a mirror mark. | 01:43:51 | |
| For 333,000. | 01:43:53 | |
| For that cabin to be built. | 01:43:55 | |
| And then the county kicks in 25% of that as a match. | 01:43:58 | |
| So that was approved a couple years ago. | 01:44:01 | |
| Through Bose Public Affairs, they help us get that earmark. | 01:44:05 | |
| And so when the costs come for the construction of that ADA cabin? | 01:44:09 | |
| It's going to be coming out of the earmark in a 25% match in general fund. | 01:44:13 | |
| And if I may add, Mr. Chair, that earmarks can from Senator Kelly. | 01:44:18 | |
| Let's do that one. What? | 01:44:24 | |
| Senator Kelly. | 01:44:25 | |
| OK. And the last slide for Pleasant Valley is is where I show the. | 01:44:27 | |
| Encumbrance. Encumbrances. | 01:44:32 | |
| Which? | 01:44:34 | |
| Goes to how much money it's gonna cost us. But. | 01:44:35 | |
| And we're expecting it to cost us. | 01:44:39 | |
| And so that's the last line. | 01:44:41 | |
| If you'll see the architect and engineering. | 01:44:43 | |
| 250,000 total. | 01:44:46 | |
| We spent 51,000 so we have about 200,000 left. | 01:44:48 | |
| On that contract. | 01:44:52 | |
| So this just gives you a sense of how much money. | 01:44:54 | |
| The current projects we have in place. | 01:44:58 | |
| Are going to cost. | 01:45:01 | |
| As a total and how much we've already. | 01:45:03 | |
| Paid for those services. | 01:45:05 | |
| And I'd be happy to answer any questions on this slide. | 01:45:08 | |
| That's not including construction projects. | 01:45:11 | |
| That includes that are upcoming. | 01:45:15 | |
| Chairman. Members of the board. | 01:45:17 | |
| That includes some of the upcoming ones. | 01:45:18 | |
| But the ones that are not on this list are the ones. | 01:45:20 | |
| The haven't been through procurement in front of the board just yet. | 01:45:23 | |
| So if you recall. | 01:45:27 | |
| The second legal contract with ballots bar. | 01:45:30 | |
| Added an extra level of. | 01:45:33 | |
| Of review by an attorney. | 01:45:35 | |
| So those contracts go through procurement? | 01:45:37 | |
| Go through ballots Park. | 01:45:40 | |
| Back to procurement in front of the board. | 01:45:41 | |
| So it's just added an extra level so. | 01:45:43 | |
| That's sort of lagging. | 01:45:46 | |
| But this is not. | 01:45:47 | |
| All of the projects that are planned out there for construction. | 01:45:48 | |
| We have a generator project out there. We have electrical. | 01:45:52 | |
| Upgrade to. | 01:45:55 | |
| Two of the historical buildings out there. | 01:45:57 | |
| Those things are still in the works. | 01:45:59 | |
| And those particular projects. | 01:46:02 | |
| Will be charged to the 3 million. | 01:46:04 | |
| And in my best guess because it. | 01:46:06 | |
| Those really rise to the level of the definition of construction. | 01:46:08 | |
| Design, engineering and literally going in there and doing the construction. | 01:46:12 | |
| OK. And at this point? | 01:46:17 | |
| Thank you. We were able to do some auditing. We're not sure what construction projects. | 01:46:19 | |
| That have been performed in the past. | 01:46:25 | |
| Will be. | 01:46:27 | |
| Charge to the. | 01:46:28 | |
| 3 million. | 01:46:30 | |
| Chairman and members of the board so. | 01:46:32 | |
| I believe the best way I can explain it is, is once we give it the County Attorney on the definition of construction. | 01:46:35 | |
| Will go back but the I do have the. | 01:46:40 | |
| Total of the possible ones. | 01:46:45 | |
| So we already know. Yeah, I don't. | 01:46:48 | |
| Blue skies. Blue skies, Yeah. | 01:46:51 | |
| So I guess if you're asking for a total chairman. | 01:46:53 | |
| My best guess is. | 01:46:56 | |
| The past projects that we've already paid for. | 01:46:58 | |
| At a general fund. | 01:47:01 | |
| That could be charged to that $3,000,000 would be about $67,000. | 01:47:02 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 01:47:09 | |
| Any questions? | 01:47:10 | |
| No, I don't have you. | 01:47:12 | |
| Goodbye Christian thing if you. | 01:47:14 | |
| And and I thank you for the. It is complicated, it's complex bunch of numbers. | 01:47:20 | |
| This slide we're on right now this janitorial services. | 01:47:26 | |
| Is this an annual fee that we're paying 216,000? | 01:47:31 | |
| Chairman, members of the board, that is. | 01:47:36 | |
| This includes obviously the cleaning of the. | 01:47:39 | |
| The main administration building and going into the barracks. | 01:47:42 | |
| Where the veteran's day and doing cleanup services. | 01:47:46 | |
| Betting services, those kinds of things as well, OK. | 01:47:50 | |
| Professional service company. | 01:47:53 | |
| Chairman, Yes, it is. | 01:47:56 | |
| We contract that out with a company that won the. | 01:47:58 | |
| The bed out in the valley. | 01:48:02 | |
| And that's sort of an. | 01:48:03 | |
| It's sort of important that we have a company on. | 01:48:06 | |
| On that can do this simply because when an employee gets sick or employee goes on vacation, that's the responsibility of the | 01:48:09 | |
| company to cover. | 01:48:13 | |
| And we've had that. | 01:48:18 | |
| We've had that several times where that contract works very well. | 01:48:19 | |
| OK. Mr. Chair, if I might ask a question on that, Michael, how what was that fund? I just wrapped up my papers. I don't remember | 01:48:23 | |
| the final cost on. | 01:48:26 | |
| Janitorial services. | 01:48:30 | |
| 216,000. | 01:48:33 | |
| You know, I think we look at a lot of different things. Maybe in the future that's one to look at because for that kind of money | 01:48:36 | |
| we could give one or two more people a job and young. | 01:48:40 | |
| Some folks you know where a job is really needed. | 01:48:45 | |
| It's going that out and save us a lot of money. | 01:48:49 | |
| Well, OK, hold on, hold on. If I if I may, you may. | 01:48:52 | |
| Of that amount for that service. | 01:48:57 | |
| About $140,000 of it is. | 01:49:00 | |
| A turn down service. | 01:49:03 | |
| And is not expected to be part of the on. | 01:49:05 | |
| The part of the. | 01:49:08 | |
| Maintenance and operations, it's going to be when there are expected guests. What do you mean by turn down for the I don't. | 01:49:10 | |
| Our standout when the bid was put out. | 01:49:18 | |
| Turn down service was requested as a component of the bid. | 01:49:21 | |
| So it's. | 01:49:24 | |
| We're not paying it unless we use it. | 01:49:25 | |
| Chose not to exceed. | 01:49:28 | |
| Yes, more or less. | 01:49:29 | |
| Yes. So if there's. | 01:49:31 | |
| If there's no guests, there's no claim. | 01:49:32 | |
| If there's a guest authority, you come and clean. | 01:49:35 | |
| It's up after four and all that, Joseph. | 01:49:37 | |
| Thank you, Joseph. Thank you very. | 01:49:39 | |
| Chairman. Board Supervisors. | 01:49:41 | |
| Yeah, so the. | 01:49:43 | |
| The first thing in the contract was based off of. | 01:49:44 | |
| A trend over the. | 01:49:47 | |
| The three years and that's for the turnover services for anyone that comes in. | 01:49:48 | |
| And then we have to get it cleaned up, of course, and set for the next guest to come in. | 01:49:52 | |
| And then there is a percentage of that that's set aside for. | 01:49:56 | |
| Potential increase. | 01:49:59 | |
| We'll do a one year contract. | 01:50:01 | |
| We are anticipating that the utilization is going to increase. | 01:50:03 | |
| Because that's what the trend was doing. | 01:50:06 | |
| So there is a portion of that set aside for that trend. | 01:50:08 | |
| Versus having to come back and do a contract again and again and again. | 01:50:12 | |
| On an unknown service. | 01:50:15 | |
| For the most part, we did understand because of that trend. | 01:50:17 | |
| That there was going to be a potential for that. | 01:50:21 | |
| But with it being a potential, it's also. | 01:50:24 | |
| Cost saver if. | 01:50:27 | |
| It wasn't to be utilized. | 01:50:29 | |
| And would be returned back to the accounts. | 01:50:30 | |
| So thank you. | 01:50:34 | |
| So that's not a hard cost to us right now. | 01:50:36 | |
| Basically. | 01:50:39 | |
| It's it's an encumbered cost for for the coming year. | 01:50:40 | |
| Anything that was presented before. | 01:50:43 | |
| That would be the hard cost and what we've been trending up. | 01:50:46 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 01:50:52 | |
| Even also to end the cost of the janitorial. | 01:50:53 | |
| And they should just cover. | 01:50:57 | |
| When like this company comes in, then liability. They have their own liability and insurance. | 01:50:59 | |
| And things of that nature in case. | 01:51:04 | |
| They create an issue for. | 01:51:07 | |
| The PVBR or the county or somebody that's staying there? | 01:51:09 | |
| Chairman, borders supervisors. That's correct. | 01:51:15 | |
| Just like all of our contracts, this is standardized. We say, well, which? | 01:51:16 | |
| Might be difficult for. | 01:51:20 | |
| Employed without. | 01:51:22 | |
| The same insurance. | 01:51:24 | |
| Coverage and things which makes it a bad deal. | 01:51:26 | |
| But it still makes. | 01:51:28 | |
| An opportunity. | 01:51:30 | |
| That we may or may not be able to use because of the. | 01:51:32 | |
| Liability of. | 01:51:35 | |
| Someone. | 01:51:37 | |
| In our facility. | 01:51:38 | |
| Or our leased facility. | 01:51:40 | |
| OK. | 01:51:44 | |
| Further questions to provide. | 01:51:46 | |
| No, I I don't have any I I just. | 01:51:49 | |
| I just want to thank these guys for putting this together. There are some things that that I think we could. | 01:51:53 | |
| Maybe clarify maybe for future discussions, but. | 01:51:58 | |
| I think the. | 01:52:02 | |
| You know, it's just. | 01:52:04 | |
| So that type of a project and for the cost that we're looking at, I mean we spend that kind of money. | 01:52:06 | |
| Readily. About every week. Easily so. | 01:52:14 | |
| So I want to thank you guys for putting this together. | 01:52:17 | |
| I'm sure I may come up with another question or two and I'll go over you. | 01:52:19 | |
| I'm sure you will, because now we're going to get into the paragraph. | 01:52:23 | |
| Oh, yeah, That's, that's, yeah. | 01:52:26 | |
| Supervisory questions for you, I'd like to ask Michael, when do you expect to get the architectural and engineering? | 01:52:28 | |
| Plan. Complete Plan. | 01:52:36 | |
| Well, I believe they've had the. | 01:52:39 | |
| Final. | 01:52:40 | |
| Drawings. | 01:52:42 | |
| And I'll let Joseph answer that question since he's. | 01:52:44 | |
| We're totally involved in it. | 01:52:47 | |
| Thank you, Michael. Chairman, Board of Supervisors were running around. | 01:52:49 | |
| About 85%. Our next goal is the 90%. We're looking to close that out close to the end of the year, but we're ahead of schedule on | 01:52:52 | |
| the design. | 01:52:56 | |
| OK. close to the end of the year. | 01:53:01 | |
| Yes, Sir. Is that what you said? | 01:53:04 | |
| Yes Sir, big forward. | 01:53:05 | |
| Looking at numbers. | 01:53:07 | |
| Before we. | 01:53:10 | |
| Make a decision on whether we're building or not. | 01:53:11 | |
| So this is just a design. | 01:53:15 | |
| In engineering, so that will be completed. | 01:53:17 | |
| We have a milestone for December. | 01:53:19 | |
| We're anticipating before that we're ahead of schedule. | 01:53:22 | |
| Once that design is complete, that design will be then presented before the Board of Supervisors to determine the next path. | 01:53:26 | |
| OK. All right. | 01:53:31 | |
| Thank you. | 01:53:33 | |
| Then I guess. | 01:53:34 | |
| If there's no further questions on the. | 01:53:36 | |
| On the PVR. | 01:53:39 | |
| Then we can go on to the paragraph. | 01:53:42 | |
| Chairman with one. | 01:53:46 | |
| Moment with go ahead, please. OK, go ahead. She looked up to answer the question about costs associated with the not-for-profit | 01:53:48 | |
| and go ahead please. | 01:53:52 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Supervisor Christensen, Supervisor Klein for your patience. | 01:53:57 | |
| The nonprofit. | 01:54:02 | |
| Before it was. | 01:54:04 | |
| Before it existed, did fundraising. | 01:54:05 | |
| To cover the costs of its. | 01:54:07 | |
| And passed those funds through Gila County. | 01:54:11 | |
| By depositing them with the Treasurer. | 01:54:14 | |
| Gila County, in turn, paid for. | 01:54:17 | |
| The Owens Law Firm. | 01:54:19 | |
| On August 30th of 2022. | 01:54:21 | |
| $3600 the cost. | 01:54:25 | |
| Setting up the nonprofit. | 01:54:28 | |
| So the expense came through. | 01:54:29 | |
| As did the raised. | 01:54:31 | |
| Funds and those ran through the capital fund. | 01:54:33 | |
| So you see them as a legal cost? | 01:54:35 | |
| We are not reflecting. | 01:54:37 | |
| Those funds raised in this presentation, this was just about expenses. | 01:54:39 | |
| OK. | 01:54:44 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair, and we will get you an answer on. | 01:54:46 | |
| The reservation system, but that will be. | 01:54:49 | |
| Probably tomorrow. | 01:54:51 | |
| OK, thank you. It is, it is what it is before you go forward. | 01:54:53 | |
| I'd like to introduce Jesse, Lieutenant. | 01:54:58 | |
| The Council person has joined us today. So, Jesse, thank you for being here. OK, Michael. | 01:55:00 | |
| Just joke on it. I'd also like to. | 01:55:07 | |
| Recognize that we do have three board members here. | 01:55:10 | |
| Board members from the PVBR, Yes, yes. Would you like to introduce them? | 01:55:13 | |
| Well, we have Mr. Jim Muir. | 01:55:18 | |
| From the last year. | 01:55:20 | |
| And we also have these loggers. | 01:55:21 | |
| And we also have art shares. | 01:55:23 | |
| Yes, you got Joe, Heather. | 01:55:25 | |
| And Joe and Joe, right? | 01:55:27 | |
| And so I appreciate them being here. | 01:55:30 | |
| They they're not allowed at anytime really for a presentation. | 01:55:34 | |
| But that you're concerned because? | 01:55:38 | |
| Coming up, they're going to be asking. | 01:55:40 | |
| Take on some of the responsibilities that we've been. | 01:55:42 | |
| Talking about, we have this document here that. | 01:55:45 | |
| Actually lined out. | 01:55:48 | |
| The PVR incorporated. | 01:55:49 | |
| Responsibilities, yeah. | 01:55:51 | |
| Of which one of them is going to be? | 01:55:53 | |
| Cleaning that we just discussed quite. | 01:55:55 | |
| Profoundly. | 01:55:59 | |
| Well, I don't know if we've discussed anything. | 01:56:00 | |
| To what they're going to be taking on yet. OK, yeah. | 01:56:02 | |
| Well, it's just a document that. | 01:56:05 | |
| As assuming that's going to be part of their. | 01:56:07 | |
| Duties and so. | 01:56:10 | |
| I just wanted to point that out. I know we're jumping the gun a little bit on that, but I want to. | 01:56:12 | |
| I didn't want them to. | 01:56:17 | |
| And take the entire trip down here to not be mentioned. | 01:56:18 | |
| They they have a part of our work session. | 01:56:21 | |
| OK. Oh, OK. | 01:56:25 | |
| Chairman, Members Board, Thank you and I'll move right into the. | 01:56:29 | |
| I I did I I did have a couple slides about the. | 01:56:35 | |
| Credit card purchases. | 01:56:38 | |
| And I could. | 01:56:40 | |
| Skip those since we went into detail about that, unless this board wants to go into more detail about the credit card purchases. | 01:56:42 | |
| We broke them down. | 01:56:48 | |
| Even farther. | 01:56:49 | |
| About the exact cost and what exactly they purchased. | 01:56:51 | |
| But if you and it. | 01:56:54 | |
| It explains it back. | 01:56:57 | |
| In slide 22. | 01:56:58 | |
| Which is the one slide before we start the fairgrounds? | 01:57:00 | |
| And this just gives you a general sense of. | 01:57:04 | |
| The breakdown of the credit card purchases from the 2021 to 2026. | 01:57:07 | |
| Schedule. | 01:57:16 | |
| Unpaid help. | 01:57:19 | |
| That's OK. | 01:57:23 | |
| Maybe. You betcha. Yes I do. | 01:57:25 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 01:57:29 | |
| OK. | 01:57:34 | |
| And then if there are no further questions about Planet Valley, I'll jump right into the fairgrounds fiscal audit. | 01:57:35 | |
| So again we used the 2021 to 2026. | 01:57:41 | |
| And the overall projects were about 2.37 million. | 01:57:46 | |
| The operations are 628,000 revenues. | 01:57:49 | |
| About 109,000. We've had over five years, 432 events. | 01:57:54 | |
| And this is different than present value as far as the revenues go? | 01:57:59 | |
| So you'll see, you'll see the mention where I didn't mention. | 01:58:03 | |
| Credit card purchases for the fairgrounds because it all goes to general fund anyway since it's a county owned property. | 01:58:06 | |
| This this is also slightly different at present valley. | 01:58:12 | |
| Where the events out there does generate some revenues. | 01:58:15 | |
| To sort of offset some requirements, Mr. Chair, if I may have a question, I'm just one too, Michael. Yes, Sir, on the top line | 01:58:19 | |
| it's a year by year, but what year is that? Where did you start on this? And and this is, this is over a five year, this is just a | 01:58:24 | |
| summary of five years total. | 01:58:29 | |
| The same, yeah. | 01:58:34 | |
| OK. And then and then what I'll do is I'll just go break it down by year. | 01:58:35 | |
| Year by year after this. | 01:58:39 | |
| So I just wanted to give you an overall picture of the total cost and then we'll breakdown that 2.37 into. | 01:58:42 | |
| Year by year. | 01:58:48 | |
| Where that came from? | 01:58:49 | |
| The operations year by year and the revenues and the events year by year. | 01:58:51 | |
| And so the next slide just does a little bit of. | 01:58:55 | |
| Breaking down what funds paid for. | 01:58:59 | |
| Some of the projects. | 01:59:02 | |
| Again, out at the fairgrounds, like Pleasant Valley, we have ARPA funds. | 01:59:04 | |
| That were used the money money. | 01:59:08 | |
| As well as the general funds which we broke down into capital. | 01:59:10 | |
| And operating in maintenance. So you'll notice that 2021-2022 and 23 if you go to the operation and maintenance. | 01:59:15 | |
| That's because we have no known tracking system out. | 01:59:24 | |
| At the fairgrounds through our facility department. | 01:59:27 | |
| So when Joseph Dickinson came in around 2022. | 01:59:30 | |
| That was one of his jobs was to create a tracking system, financial tracking system. | 01:59:33 | |
| For all the facility buildings. | 01:59:38 | |
| None of the buildings. | 01:59:41 | |
| At that time. | 01:59:43 | |
| And he has created a tracking system for all of our county buildings. | 01:59:44 | |
| To track every expense, which was a huge project. | 01:59:48 | |
| But him and his team completed that about a year ago. | 01:59:51 | |
| Questions about. | 01:59:56 | |
| Yes, perfect. | 01:59:57 | |
| And so we just gave you a. The next slide is a. | 02:00:00 | |
| Revenue and event trend. | 02:00:04 | |
| It just shows you. | 02:00:05 | |
| The number of events. | 02:00:07 | |
| Per year. | 02:00:09 | |
| And as you can see, 2024 was. | 02:00:11 | |
| Was the highest year for events. | 02:00:14 | |
| And then it just goes year by year. | 02:00:16 | |
| The revenues. | 02:00:18 | |
| So it just gives you a better sense of the previous slide. | 02:00:19 | |
| The previous two slides were the revenues of 109,000 come into play. | 02:00:24 | |
| So and then the next slide is again just like Pleasant Valley, we used a baseline in 2021 because there was absolutely no known | 02:00:28 | |
| cost. | 02:00:32 | |
| That we could track so it starts with 0. | 02:00:37 | |
| So I can give you the trend per year, Is it going to trend up or down with costs? | 02:00:40 | |
| You start with the baseline to make it easy for everybody. | 02:00:44 | |
| And then the next slide is the 2022 projects and funding source. | 02:00:49 | |
| This is where you see some of the. | 02:00:53 | |
| Direction by the board. | 02:00:56 | |
| Around that time, if you recall, Joseph. | 02:00:58 | |
| Was in front of the board. | 02:01:00 | |
| Getting uh. | 02:01:03 | |
| Ideas or their thoughts about some of the projects? | 02:01:03 | |
| Out at the fairgrounds. | 02:01:06 | |
| The fairgrounds property had been neglected. | 02:01:08 | |
| For for quite a few years. | 02:01:11 | |
| So there's a lot of work to be done. | 02:01:13 | |
| And starting around 2022 is when. | 02:01:15 | |
| The board directed staff to start making some of those changes. | 02:01:18 | |
| So most of these costs were? | 02:01:21 | |
| We're charged to the ARPA. | 02:01:24 | |
| And if you recall in 2022, that's when the portable arena and fencing around the grandstands were purchased and installed. So that | 02:01:26 | |
| was the major cost basically for. | 02:01:30 | |
| Out of 2022. | 02:01:35 | |
| The next slide, the 2023 projects and funding source. | 02:01:39 | |
| You can see that we're now starting to, just like Pleasant Valley, spend a little bit more. | 02:01:42 | |
| Of our resources out there to improve the grounds. | 02:01:47 | |
| And and ARPA money still comes into play. | 02:01:51 | |
| With the majority of that 723,000. | 02:01:54 | |
| And then we have some of the other expenses as well. | 02:01:58 | |
| Which brought in in their. | 02:02:01 | |
| Revenues we brought in for 25 events was about $20,000. | 02:02:03 | |
| So that this gives you a general sense that we're starting to again. | 02:02:07 | |
| Move more into the improvement phase out at the Fairgrounds property. | 02:02:10 | |
| 2024 you can see. | 02:02:16 | |
| We really. | 02:02:18 | |
| Kicked in some of the capital projects. | 02:02:20 | |
| Spending about 330,000. | 02:02:22 | |
| And we're still throwing in some Harper money. | 02:02:25 | |
| And about 210,000. | 02:02:28 | |
| And the events were 148. This was our busiest year with events. | 02:02:30 | |
| And we brought in about 24,000. | 02:02:34 | |
| Again, I made mention of this because. | 02:02:37 | |
| Pleasant Valley were able to. | 02:02:40 | |
| Attractive credit cards because of the. | 02:02:42 | |
| Multiple funds that needed to go to. | 02:02:44 | |
| With with the fairgrounds, all the credit card purchases went to maintenance. | 02:02:46 | |
| And it flows up into the general fund budget. | 02:02:51 | |
| The breakdown at 2024 projects and funding source a little bit more. | 02:02:57 | |
| This is just breaks it down exactly what fund paid for what and what. | 02:03:02 | |
| What was done with that? If you look down at general fund project for example? | 02:03:07 | |
| Hiking trail. | 02:03:11 | |
| We did we. | 02:03:12 | |
| Went forward with designing a possible hiking trail around the entire property. | 02:03:14 | |
| And that didn't come to fruition, but. | 02:03:18 | |
| We also had some. | 02:03:20 | |
| Electrical Projects. | 02:03:22 | |
| That came up that we wanted to improve the electrical system out there just to bring it to a baseline. So you started seeing | 02:03:24 | |
| getting into designing. | 02:03:28 | |
| Hire, you know, hiring designers and engineers to look at the electrical system. | 02:03:32 | |
| Because the electrical system like the other. | 02:03:37 | |
| Buildings out there were dilapidated in some way. | 02:03:39 | |
| And old and we need to bring that up to a standard to make it safe for everybody there. | 02:03:42 | |
| And then the next slide, we go back into 2025. | 02:03:52 | |
| And we break down this. I threw everything basically onto this one slide for 2025 to hopefully give you a better sense. | 02:03:56 | |
| Of the money. | 02:04:05 | |
| The increased amount of capital we're spending out there to make improvements. | 02:04:06 | |
| And if you recall. | 02:04:11 | |
| We spent some money out there for for a bathroom. | 02:04:12 | |
| And and and some other the electrical design to roll up doors if you remember. | 02:04:17 | |
| Those turn out to be extremely. | 02:04:21 | |
| Extremely important to get those replaced and I think this board for allowing the staff to move forward with that. If you recall | 02:04:24 | |
| the rolling doors out there every time you went out there. | 02:04:28 | |
| They would. They would shake. | 02:04:32 | |
| And create a lot of noise. | 02:04:34 | |
| For anybody who had a. | 02:04:37 | |
| An event out at that building, you could barely hear yourself if the wind shut those doors. And if you go out there now, that's a | 02:04:39 | |
| significant improvement, so. | 02:04:43 | |
| And then we did some dirt work. | 02:04:47 | |
| Around some of the arenas and those kinds of things, so. | 02:04:49 | |
| Are there any questions about this year? | 02:04:53 | |
| Mr. Chair, I have one. You mentioned bathrooms, but very vaguely. | 02:04:56 | |
| Michael. | 02:04:59 | |
| The bathrooms, I remember we put in there with those. | 02:05:00 | |
| Once we hold in there for 10, about $600,000. | 02:05:03 | |
| And my very far off my. | 02:05:07 | |
| Memory. | 02:05:09 | |
| Chairman and members of the board, No, you're not far off with your members and so I. | 02:05:12 | |
| Justice sort of explained. | 02:05:16 | |
| Yeah, and I, I don't see it where it's listed in here. | 02:05:18 | |
| And maybe I've. | 02:05:23 | |
| Maybe I missed it somewhere, but. | 02:05:26 | |
| I think it was part of that one. | 02:05:29 | |
| It's part of the output 1 Mary. | 02:05:32 | |
| Oh, there it is, Sir. | 02:05:45 | |
| Three slides prior in 2023. | 02:05:47 | |
| The projects and funding source. | 02:05:49 | |
| As the. | 02:05:52 | |
| 2425, if we have it spread out over over three years, but the total cost for that was $700,000. | 02:05:55 | |
| So we captured that as far as the ARPA project in 2023. | 02:06:03 | |
| ARPA funds. | 02:06:07 | |
| Frank Yes. | 02:06:09 | |
| Yes, Sir. Thank you. | 02:06:10 | |
| So. | 02:06:13 | |
| 2023 supervised plan. | 02:06:16 | |
| Yeah, I'm looking at the projects and funding source, but my business somewhere. | 02:06:18 | |
| On 20/23 it says ARPA projects major project. | 02:06:23 | |
| 0700 and 23, OK. | 02:06:28 | |
| That was the restrooms out there. | 02:06:32 | |
| Which included. | 02:06:36 | |
| At the time that we. | 02:06:37 | |
| Received that contract. It did not include. | 02:06:39 | |
| Septic upgrades. | 02:06:42 | |
| And somebody electrical work so. | 02:06:44 | |
| We had to do additional work on that, so the original contract was closer to 600,000. | 02:06:46 | |
| Adding those two components to it. | 02:06:51 | |
| Kicked it above 700,000. | 02:06:53 | |
| Good. | 02:06:56 | |
| Any more questions? | 02:07:00 | |
| No, I don't. OK, so Christensen. | 02:07:02 | |
| OK. | 02:07:05 | |
| Thank you and the 2026 project and funding source. | 02:07:07 | |
| Again, just a just a breakdown as far as what we've spent out there. | 02:07:11 | |
| If you recall, this year we moved into. | 02:07:17 | |
| Amber Martinez from Facilities was able to. | 02:07:20 | |
| Bring in the high school rodeo championship. | 02:07:24 | |
| Gila County and some of these costs with these contracts were to get that area. | 02:07:27 | |
| In in the condition. | 02:07:33 | |
| To be safe for the animals and the writers, as far as that goes. | 02:07:34 | |
| And that was quite a success. Then we also have a oh, I'm sorry, no, no, I have a question on. | 02:07:38 | |
| Yeah. And and it's, it's just. | 02:07:46 | |
| High school rodeo event. | 02:07:48 | |
