| And we ask that. | 00:00:47 | |
| Your spirit to be with the Board of Supervisors that they will have the wisdom to go discern what is best for the county. | 00:00:49 | |
| And to help them. | 00:00:55 | |
| Anyways that you may deem necessary, you say these things and they're just Christ. Amen. | 00:00:57 | |
| OK. We're going to start off. | 00:01:13 | |
| With the. | 00:01:16 | |
| Public hearing. | 00:01:17 | |
| To a Convene a public hearing to hear from citizens. | 00:01:20 | |
| Of the on the fiscal year 2026 Community Development Block Grant. | 00:01:24 | |
| Application. | 00:01:30 | |
| Um for physical year 2026? | 00:01:32 | |
| CDBG. | 00:01:37 | |
| Regional account. | 00:01:39 | |
| Funding in the amount of 100. | 00:01:41 | |
| And $87,208. | 00:01:44 | |
| Paula is not. | 00:01:48 | |
| Here today. | 00:01:50 | |
| Josh, can you wing it? | 00:01:53 | |
| So this is funding that we have with tag. | 00:02:00 | |
| I know supervisor, chairman's on the board. | 00:02:03 | |
| We get this money everywhere. Every second year, correct? Every two years. | 00:02:08 | |
| And in the past. | 00:02:13 | |
| I remember the last time that this came around. | 00:02:15 | |
| The last time this came around, we had kind of always in the past from Melissa Busan time, they had used this mostly primarily for | 00:02:17 | |
| additional weatherization. | 00:02:22 | |
| You know, the work that we already do in the county. | 00:02:28 | |
| But the list. | 00:02:31 | |
| And we're going to get one of these from the board members. | 00:02:31 | |
| She to come Oh Paula got them but. | 00:02:34 | |
| There's a really good list of items that we can do with this funding. | 00:02:37 | |
| And they're, they're those kind of like winter. | 00:02:40 | |
| Type activities that you really. | 00:02:44 | |
| We can do some really good things with, I mean, OK, if you want to hold this thing, Paula. | 00:02:46 | |
| You want to come on up being that you're. | 00:02:50 | |
| Your darn traffic. | 00:02:52 | |
| Yes, while there's no parking either here. | 00:02:56 | |
| OK, well, let's go tell them a little bit about the funding, what we've done in the past and that. | 00:03:00 | |
| That's just really good funding. Andrew had some good examples. She was telling me about this morning about a park. | 00:03:05 | |
| Open. | 00:03:10 | |
| Star Valley. | 00:03:12 | |
| And I just think it's a great idea to bring this to the board and let you all look at this and. | 00:03:13 | |
| And maybe we can decide some better ways to do. | 00:03:17 | |
| Some of the things that we normally wouldn't be able to do with this funding as we go forward. | 00:03:20 | |
| And Paul, I will let you take it. | 00:03:26 | |
| All right. Thank you, Andrea. | 00:03:28 | |
| Andrea Robles tag. | 00:03:31 | |
| And she is going to be doing our. | 00:03:33 | |
| Our actual item today for us so. | 00:03:38 | |
| Andrea. | 00:03:41 | |
| Thank you. | 00:03:44 | |
| Good morning, supervisors and members of the board. Good morning. | 00:03:48 | |
| My name is Andrea Robles. I am the Executive director for Central Arizona Government. | 00:03:51 | |
| And today's hearing is for public input regarding. | 00:03:57 | |
| Sorry, there you go. | 00:04:01 | |
| Regarding possible projects for consideration for the. | 00:04:04 | |
| 2026. | 00:04:08 | |
| CDBG grant cycle. | 00:04:10 | |
| Gila County is expected to receive approximately 187,208. | 00:04:12 | |
| In federal fiscal year 2026. | 00:04:19 | |
| From the Arizona Department of Housing. | 00:04:22 | |
| All proposed regional projects must meet one of three national object. | 00:04:25 | |
| Objectives. Umm. | 00:04:29 | |
| Which are. | 00:04:30 | |
| Benefit to low moderate income persons in the area. | 00:04:31 | |
| Alleviate slum and blight in the community. | 00:04:36 | |
| Or address an urgent need of the. | 00:04:39 | |
| Typically it's a town, or in your case, the county. | 00:04:42 | |
| Such as a natural disaster or community health hazard. | 00:04:46 | |
| And I know that she has given you some examples of some of our projects. | 00:04:51 | |
| Some other examples include public infrastructure such as water. | 00:04:55 | |
| Wastewater. | 00:05:00 | |
| There are some St. improvements that fall under CDBG funding. | 00:05:02 | |
| Community facilities. | 00:05:07 | |
| Such as park improvements, libraries, senior centers. | 00:05:09 | |
| And then we have the housing rehab. | 00:05:14 | |
| And then there are some public services that we can dedicate funding towards. | 00:05:17 | |
| So she has shared a list of examples. I'm not sure if you guys might have some. | 00:05:22 | |
| Ideas that you have ready to share, but we would like to get some input from the board. | 00:05:29 | |
| And the public and that we can. | 00:05:35 | |
| I'm here if the staff has a list. | 00:05:37 | |
| Developed to share. | 00:05:39 | |
| And I think one of the important things to know is that only projects brought forth today can be considered as an eligible | 00:05:41 | |
| project. | 00:05:45 | |
| We will have a second public hearing on September 1st for you to select. | 00:05:50 | |
| Project OK. | 00:05:54 | |
| Thank you. | 00:05:57 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:05:59 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. | 00:06:00 | |
| Andrea So I guess what I'm hearing from you right now is there's no actually. | 00:06:03 | |
| Plan specific project. | 00:06:08 | |
| Right now, today. | 00:06:11 | |
| Not at this time. | 00:06:12 | |
| OK. And so you're going to be working with. | 00:06:14 | |
| Us, the county and the town. | 00:06:17 | |
| For the city to come up with these projects. | 00:06:20 | |
| So we'd like the supervisor we'd like to. | 00:06:23 | |
| Come up with a list today of potential projects. What we will do is we will vet those with. | 00:06:25 | |
| Arizona Department of Housing to ensure that they are eligible. | 00:06:31 | |
| Lately the requirements have been changing from month to month with the different guidelines that are coming down. | 00:06:35 | |
| So for instance, they. | 00:06:41 | |
| You want to do park improvements, We'll take note of that. | 00:06:44 | |
| And we'll. | 00:06:47 | |
| Add that to our project list. | 00:06:49 | |
| If there are St. improvements or housing rehab, we'll Add all of that. We'll build our list today. | 00:06:51 | |
| And then the eligible projects will move forward to your next public hearing for approval to select a project. OK, So you're going | 00:06:57 | |
| to be working with Paula and Josh and Mrs. staff to to. | 00:07:02 | |
| Outline or scope these projects and. | 00:07:08 | |
| Drop these projects out. | 00:07:11 | |
| And today it can be general. Let's see if it's park improvements today. | 00:07:12 | |
| Will work with your staff to develop which. | 00:07:16 | |
| Part do you want to select or is it? | 00:07:19 | |
| We may want to do something at. | 00:07:22 | |
| This park over here and maybe another one over there. So we'll refine that scope with them. OK, so another question just. | 00:07:24 | |
| Get it? In my mind, that's right. Is this just one year money? | 00:07:31 | |
| Yes, OK. | 00:07:34 | |
| So and you get funding every other year. | 00:07:36 | |
| But the project we try to get them done within the 12 months. | 00:07:39 | |
| OK. All right. Thank you. | 00:07:43 | |
| Supervisor Christianson. | 00:07:46 | |
| And thank you for the presentation SO. | 00:07:49 | |
| In my mind. | 00:07:52 | |
| Park. | 00:07:54 | |
| OK, infrastructure. | 00:07:57 | |
| Things that may not be romantic but are necessary for. | 00:08:00 | |
| Remains our water system. | 00:08:07 | |
| Wastewater or roads, things like that that are necessary or are being overlooked and can't afford to work with. | 00:08:09 | |
| Right now those I think we should have 187 will go a long way, but. | 00:08:18 | |
| I would rather these actors like that. | 00:08:24 | |
| OK. And you're going to be, you say that the list is going to be done today. You're reaching out to the cities and towns as well. | 00:08:30 | |
| So supervisor, chairman, we would. | 00:08:39 | |
| We're reaching out to you today and to the public and then staff for your input. | 00:08:42 | |
| So this is a county specific discussion. | 00:08:47 | |
| The cities and towns they get to. | 00:08:50 | |
| Select their own projects with their CDBG funding. OK because they were part of the county too and so I just didn't know. | 00:08:52 | |
| How that was going to be split up so. | 00:08:59 | |
| OK, I think that's that's fine. And so. | 00:09:01 | |
| OK, I, I thank you for your presentation and I'm sure that our staff. | 00:09:04 | |
| Has kind of some. | 00:09:08 | |
| Directions that they would. | 00:09:11 | |
| Like to go? | 00:09:13 | |
| Because of past. | 00:09:15 | |
| And what? | 00:09:17 | |
| What we what we need to get worked on? | 00:09:18 | |
| I'm I'm I'm sure that. | 00:09:21 | |
| They were complaint driven. | 00:09:24 | |
| So I'm sure they know where. | 00:09:26 | |
| Most of our complaints. | 00:09:27 | |
| Have been is that correct? | 00:09:29 | |
| Yes, Sir. OK. | 00:09:31 | |
| OK. Still would like your ideas, Chairman. | 00:09:33 | |
| If you have any ideas. | 00:09:36 | |
| OK, lots of ideas, but you've got a lot of them listed here. | 00:09:37 | |
| And so. | 00:09:42 | |
| Yeah, I. | 00:09:43 | |
| I off the top. | 00:09:44 | |
| Have nothing specific. | 00:09:46 | |
| Because in in. | 00:09:48 | |
| Rural Arizona, like in my district. | 00:09:50 | |
| We don't have a lot of sidewalks or or need a lot of. | 00:09:53 | |
| Sidewalks or things like that, it's more. | 00:09:56 | |
| You know, looking at this, it would be. | 00:09:59 | |
| More of. | 00:10:01 | |
| Traffic signs and. | 00:10:03 | |
| And things like where we're. | 00:10:05 | |
| Working on roads, the meal and feel is is pretty important because we have. | 00:10:07 | |
| A lot of roads that are not in. | 00:10:12 | |
| The shape that we would like them to be in. | 00:10:16 | |
| So. So that's where I'm at. | 00:10:21 | |
| So is there anything else from the board? | 00:10:24 | |
| OK, well I will open it up. | 00:10:26 | |
| To the public. | 00:10:28 | |
| Do we have any public in patient that would care to comment? | 00:10:30 | |
| On where we're going to go with the CDBG. | 00:10:34 | |
| Funding. | 00:10:38 | |
| I take that as a no. | 00:10:41 | |
| Do we have any public comment here on where they would like to see? | 00:10:44 | |
| Our GDBG. | 00:10:48 | |
| Finding Go. | 00:10:50 | |
| OK, do we have anyone? | 00:10:58 | |
| With it out in. | 00:11:01 | |
| Computer LAN. | 00:11:03 | |
| With any public input. | 00:11:04 | |
| OK, then I will. | 00:11:09 | |
| I will close the public hearing. | 00:11:12 | |
| And we we need no action taken. | 00:11:14 | |
| Chairman, I'd like to supervisors, I'd like to give kind of some staff. | 00:11:18 | |
| The staff that we are looking at for the projects. | 00:11:25 | |
| So that she can list them. | 00:11:29 | |
| Oh, you can have it on record, please. | 00:11:31 | |
| Housing rehabilitation. | 00:11:33 | |
| From our weatherization list, we are we always have a list of people who are waiting. | 00:11:35 | |
| And so that would be taking on the next few projects. | 00:11:40 | |
| And helping with the wait list because our wait list is very long and they're usually income eligible. | 00:11:45 | |
| The other one was park improvements and ADA compliance. | 00:11:51 | |
| Projects. | 00:11:55 | |
| Anything that is ADA that we have not been able to. | 00:11:56 | |
| To do and. | 00:12:00 | |
| Some of the blight projects that have been going on through the county as well. I know that we do. | 00:12:02 | |
| You know you generously give some money to help with that, but if there are other projects in. | 00:12:08 | |
| You know, in other areas that you're looking at that. | 00:12:13 | |
| We need to actually. | 00:12:16 | |
| Clean up and. | 00:12:17 | |
| And help out, that's another area that we were thinking. | 00:12:19 | |
| And Josh, did you have any additional? | 00:12:22 | |
| OK, so those are the ones that we were looking at as far as the list. | 00:12:26 | |
| And thank you for your suggestions, I appreciate it. | 00:12:30 | |
| OK. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good day. Thanks for coming up today. | 00:12:32 | |
| Absolutely. I will see you in September. | 00:12:37 | |

| Thank you. Good morning, Chairman and members of the Board of the public. | 00:19:08 | |
| Works Department reached out to the Clerk of the Board's office to purchase this piece of property. | 00:19:11 | |
| For purposes related to transportation because the county already maintains a portion of Muncie Drive near Payson. | 00:19:16 | |
| The parcel was deeded to the State Care of the Board of Supervisors in 1990. | 00:19:23 | |
| Because the previous owner did not pay the property taxes for the past seven years. | 00:19:28 | |
| The board needs to determine a purchase price for the property and the current lien amount is $70. | 00:19:33 | |
| $72.36. | 00:19:38 | |
| Any questions? Supervisor client? | 00:19:41 | |
| I don't think I do. | 00:19:44 | |
| Thank you, Charlotte. Thank you. | 00:19:45 | |
| Supervisor Christian? No, not really. Thank you. That's an odd number, but funny. | 00:19:47 | |
| It's very, look, yeah, I can't imagine they didn't pay taxes for that amount of money. | 00:19:52 | |
| Anyway, OK. | 00:19:57 | |
| Going forward, I'll call for a motion. | 00:19:58 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to purchase assessors tax parcel #302-13-004. | 00:20:01 | |

| the members of. | 00:20:56 | |
| Board, the Patient Humane Society has been providing. | 00:21:00 | |
| After hour shelter and services for us for several years now. | 00:21:04 | |
| They accept animals. | 00:21:08 | |
| That come into their facility on weekends and after hours. | 00:21:10 | |
| They house those animals until. | 00:21:14 | |
| A member of my staff can. | 00:21:16 | |
| Get those animals and transport them back down here to blow to our facility. | 00:21:18 | |
| This last year we. | 00:21:24 | |
| Transported 61 animals to our facility from up there which they housed more than that. | 00:21:26 | |
| But my staff, when we pick up the animals, we make for sure that we try to get them home, whether they have a microchip or tags, | 00:21:31 | |
| and we get those animals home. | 00:21:35 | |
| Before they kept come down here. | 00:21:39 | |
| Which costed us. | 00:21:42 | |
| Just we paid them right under $3000 for those services, so it saved us a lot of money. | 00:21:43 | |
| For what we used to pay them. | 00:21:48 | |
| Nicole, Lucy. | 00:21:51 | |
| Have always kept their shelter open for us on animal cruelty cases. | 00:21:53 | |
| We've had to take animals there for. | 00:21:57 | |
| To be checked out for cruelty cases and. | 00:22:01 | |
| They're very helpful for that and we really appreciate their help. | 00:22:04 | |
| And with that, I'll take any questions from you. | 00:22:08 | |
| OK, Supervisor Klein. | 00:22:11 | |
| I don't have any. Thank you. | 00:22:13 | |

| Good morning. Good morning. | 00:23:22 | |
| Chairman. Members of the board. | 00:23:24 | |
| I'm coming before you today with an item for our. | 00:23:26 | |
| Detention Services Bureau. | 00:23:29 | |
| So this is an agreement with the Miami Unified School District in case of an emergency. | 00:23:32 | |
| They would allow up to. | 00:23:37 | |
| Lessons with three drivers. | 00:23:40 | |
| And basically transport our inmates out of the facility if needed. | 00:23:41 | |
| So, umm. | 00:23:46 | |
| Anything from? | 00:23:47 | |
| Like a fire of blood and. | 00:23:49 | |
| Those kind of things where we would need to get a large number of inmates out and transport it to somewhere else. And with that, | 00:23:51 | |
| I'll take any questions. | 00:23:55 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:24:00 | |
| I I don't have any questions, Sarah. Thank you. | 00:24:02 | |
| Supervisor Christensen, thank you, Sarah. Thank you, Sheriff. | 00:24:04 | |
| I have no question. | 00:24:07 | |
| I've only got 1 and and where would they transfer to? Would that just depend on the situation? I would just. | 00:24:09 | |
| Absolutely, yeah, because we have to reach out to obviously neighboring sheriff's. So we probably are first thing we reach out to | 00:24:15 | |
| and see what space they had and then obviously a TFC if we have to go. | 00:24:20 | |
| OK. It would be other, other, other other gel facilities? | 00:24:27 | |
| OK, good enough. | 00:24:32 | |
| All right. Well, thank you very much. Has anyone got any other questions? If not, I'll call for a motion. | 00:24:34 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve intergovernmental agreement number. | 00:24:40 | |

| Jim, good morning. | 00:25:52 | |
| I'm going to be turning the floor over to Sarah White on this. There is some mix up with. | 00:25:54 | |
| The order of some of the items on the agenda so. | 00:25:59 | |
| With that, I'll turn it over to you, Sarah. | 00:26:01 | |
| OK, so it's all yours. | 00:26:03 | |
| Chief, thank you. | 00:26:05 | |
| I just asked she's lucky if I could hop in so I could explain a few things to you because you guys will actually be approving the. | 00:26:08 | |
| The application on item H. | 00:26:16 | |
| So I didn't want there to be any confusion. So item 8 was the application we submitted item S. | 00:26:20 | |
| You're approving the award to God. | 00:26:27 | |
| So we'll just go with at first since it's on here. | 00:26:28 | |
| And this is a task force grant that you guys have approved. | 00:26:31 | |
| For years now, at Wednesday, he was coming from. | 00:26:35 | |
| For this fiscal year, we were approved for the 34404. | 00:26:46 | |
| With that I can take any questions. | 00:26:50 | |
| Supervisor client. | 00:26:53 | |
| Sarah, thanks for doing this. | 00:26:56 | |
| Can can you just? | 00:26:59 | |
| Briefly tell me how many people were able to. | 00:27:01 | |
| Put on our task force with this kind of money. | 00:27:03 | |
| Yeah. So right now we have it written and it's once about. | 00:27:06 | |
| What keeps doing that? How? | 00:27:11 | |
| Cortana, right now we have a full time Sergeant and a full time detective in there. | 00:27:14 | |
| We try to reach out to other agencies as well and have them maybe put a detective on. We only have funding if one other agency was | 00:27:18 | |
| to come on right now. | 00:27:23 | |
| That we could find them. | 00:27:29 | |
| And if we don't have any staff meeting is always the issue. | 00:27:30 | |
| With other agencies. | 00:27:36 | |
| They're gonna like that for. | 00:27:37 | |
| Have assignments within our own agency so we make British detective in there for like 3 or 6 months to utilize them. | 00:27:40 | |
| That's in there. | 00:27:47 | |
| OK. Thank you, Sir. I you know I. | 00:27:48 | |
| Talked about this a lot. I just wish you'll come a day when we could actually put a lot of money into this. | 00:27:51 | |
| And have. | 00:27:56 | |
| A large task force and kind of. | 00:27:58 | |
| Clean house on some of their SO. | 00:28:00 | |
| But thank you for putting this together. I. | 00:28:03 | |
| We'll take what we can get, obviously. | 00:28:05 | |
| Absolutely. Thank you. I think the sheriff was saying he has the same feelings as he can completely. | 00:28:09 | |
| But. | 00:28:15 | |
| Supervisor Christians. | 00:28:20 | |
| Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Sarah. | 00:28:22 | |
| Real quick, just a funny. | 00:28:24 | |
| Comment if you will, because I'm kind of a. | 00:28:26 | |
| Like funny stuff. | 00:28:29 | |
| Andy Griffith. | 00:28:31 | |
| Was trying to explain to Opie. | 00:28:33 | |
| What, 2 1/2? | 00:28:35 | |
| Meant when it comes to people. | 00:28:37 | |
| And he said I've never seen 1/2 a person. | 00:28:39 | |
| And this is 2 1/2 detectives. | 00:28:42 | |
| Anyway, Andy says, well, it's not half a. | 00:28:46 | |
| Person. | 00:28:50 | |
| It's a ratio, and Opie says. | 00:28:51 | |
| Poor Horatio. | 00:28:54 | |
| Remember that. | 00:28:57 | |
| I don't know well. | 00:28:58 | |
| I guess thank you for the update. Yes, I have no questions. | 00:29:01 | |
| Thank you. | 00:29:05 | |
| OK, I bet you didn't know that was coming. | 00:29:06 | |
| OK, if there's no further questions or comments or TV shows. | 00:29:10 | |
| Oh, that's me. | 00:29:17 | |
| I'll move to authorize board Chairman. | 00:29:19 | |
| Electronically. | 00:29:23 | |

| Aye, aye. | 00:29:50 | |
| Aye, 3F passes unanimous. We're on to 3G information action. | 00:29:51 | |
| To approve the Arizona Department of Administration's 20. | 00:29:57 | |
| Physical year 2027 Arizona 911 program. | 00:30:01 | |
| Funding. | 00:30:06 | |
| Assistance agreement, ADOA and Arizona 911-27. | 00:30:07 | |
| Dash 04 in the amount of $157,000. | 00:30:12 | |
| For the performance period of July 1st, 2026. | 00:30:18 | |
| Through June 30th, 2027. | 00:30:22 | |
| Every whims. | 00:30:25 | |
| Good morning. Good morning, Mr. Chair and members of Board. | 00:30:26 | |
| This year, this is the same. | 00:30:30 | |
| Funding that I have brought to you. | 00:30:32 | |
| In the years past. | 00:30:35 | |
| Historically it has been a competitive grant fund. | 00:30:36 | |
| This year it became a non competitive funding assistance award. | 00:30:40 | |
| Due to some. | 00:30:45 | |
| Issues of the state. | 00:30:47 | |
| Realizing that they had lower funds than projected. | 00:30:48 | |
| The cost of completing State 911 infrastructure with. | 00:30:53 | |
| Which they have done at this point. | 00:30:57 | |
| Was a little bit of a strain on the previous budget. | 00:30:59 | |
| And then the higher cost of 901? | 00:31:04 | |
| Services we had a little bit of. | 00:31:06 | |
| Concerned that they may have to. | 00:31:09 | |
| Cut our funding by 35%. | 00:31:11 | |
| But the governor's office? | 00:31:14 | |
| And. | 00:31:16 | |
| Managed to get a $4 million. | 00:31:17 | |
| The word just escaped me. | 00:31:22 | |
| Appropriation. | 00:31:24 | |
| To be able to. | 00:31:27 | |
| Award 100. | 00:31:28 | |
| Coverage of all infrastructure costs. | 00:31:31 | |
| So what this is? | 00:31:34 | |
| Is the grant. | 00:31:35 | |
| Would consist of infrastructure, which is. | 00:31:36 | |
| The phone lines. | 00:31:41 | |
| The equipment that we use, the software that we use. | 00:31:42 | |
| And it would also include items such as projects. | 00:31:45 | |
| Requested by. | 00:31:49 | |
| Peace apps and administration funds. | 00:31:50 | |
| Based on. | 00:31:54 | |
| Population so. | 00:31:55 | |
| We usually got a small amount of administration that would cover. | 00:31:56 | |
| Travel. | 00:32:01 | |
| Office supplies, that kind of thing. | 00:32:02 | |
| And this year all they're covering is. | 00:32:04 | |
| The infrastructure. | 00:32:08 | |
| So we are. We're good. | 00:32:09 | |
| For that the other items we don't have any new projects this year. | 00:32:12 | |
| And, umm. | 00:32:16 | |
| You know, travel will definitely be limited. | 00:32:18 | |
| To any funding available. | 00:32:20 | |
| Through dispatch. | 00:32:22 | |
| And with that I will. | 00:32:24 | |
| Pick any questions. | 00:32:26 | |
| OK. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. | 00:32:27 | |
| So Deborah, what I'm hearing from you then is we'll make it with this. | 00:32:30 | |
| 157,000 Yes. | 00:32:34 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 00:32:36 | |
| Supervisor Christian, thank you. I thank you for your presentation. I have. | 00:32:39 | |
| Yeah, I think that said that they're cutting your funding because your services are so vital too. | 00:32:43 | |
| Well, it's three people and, and the officers who are responding as well. | 00:32:48 | |
| And it's got to be a. | 00:32:53 | |
| A difficult. | 00:32:55 | |
| Position to. | 00:32:57 | |
| To be a part of, much less when you're. | 00:32:59 | |
| Not receiving funding, right. And they, you know, at this point in time. | 00:33:01 | |
| They're not. They don't want to cut the funding. | 00:33:06 | |
| It you know, but there. | 00:33:09 | |
| Shooting. They're giving us fair warning. | 00:33:11 | |
| Should this continue to happen? | 00:33:13 | |
| So yeah, thing. | 00:33:15 | |
| OK. Well, thank you very much for all that you. | 00:33:17 | |
| Doing and organized. So if there's no further questions, I'll call for a motion. | 00:33:21 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve the Arizona Department of Administration. | 00:33:25 | |

| Increase to the 3:40, there was one time we were about I think it was like 318. So we did receive 1 increase in our time here. The | 00:35:19 | |
| gap we keep thinking away off it. | 00:35:26 | |
| You'd be surprised with a limited number of. | 00:35:33 | |
| Yeah, and their company stats they do for an over for us. | 00:35:36 | |
| Throughout all of me, like every. | 00:35:39 | |
| Well, thank you. | 00:35:42 | |
| Thank you. | 00:35:44 | |
| OK. Any questions? | 00:35:46 | |
| Thank you. I have no questions. | 00:35:49 | |
| OK, Then if there's no questions, I'll call for a motion. Mr. Chair, Move. | 00:35:51 | |
| To ratify the Board of Supervisors approval for the Sheriff's Office electronics submittal. | 00:35:56 | |
| Of a FY 2027 or 2027 drug gang and. | 00:36:01 | |
| Crime control grant application. | 00:36:07 | |
| To the Amazon Criminal Justice Commission as presented. | 00:36:09 | |
| I'll second that. | 00:36:12 | |
| Having a motion second all in favor say aye. | 00:36:13 | |
| Aye. | 00:36:15 | |
| I and pastors unanimous we're on to three I. | 00:36:17 | |
| Information, discussion. Action to award contract number. | 00:36:21 | |
| Gil. | 00:36:25 | |
| IFB2026-004. | 00:36:27 | |
| To Roman construction, incorporated. | 00:36:31 | |
| For Leche. | 00:36:35 | |
| And evaporated pond liner services. | 00:36:36 | |
| At Russell Gulch. | 00:36:41 | |
| And Buckhead landfills. | 00:36:43 | |
| In the amount not to exceed. | 00:36:45 | |
| $400,000. | 00:36:47 | |
| Matt Renter. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, this is. | 00:36:49 | |
| The final step in awarding the contract True Roma Construction for the leachate. | 00:36:52 | |
| Late 8 evaporation upon liner repairs and we found in January that the the V8 ponds were leaking both here and Russell Gulch and | 00:36:57 | |
| also up at Buckhead Mesa. You may be asking why are we doing a replacement when we could just patch it, patch it, patch it as | 00:37:04 | |
| we've done in the previous years. Unfortunately, the damage to the liner in Russell Gulch. | 00:37:10 | |
| Was. | 00:37:17 | |
| Caused a year ago because somebody brought in a heavy piece of equipment and that really did significant damage to the liner. So | 00:37:19 | |
| it's past the point of of being able to patch it. We're going to address that now moving forward so that. | 00:37:26 | |
| With we have a maintenance plan to remove some of the sediment that. | 00:37:33 | |
| Accumulating and leachate evaporation repair so that we won't get to that point of of having a full replacement. | 00:37:38 | |
| So this is for. | 00:37:45 | |
| The the two bits. | 00:37:46 | |
| Rendered as. | 00:37:49 | |
| Responsive, we had a pre bid meeting for that for the contractors to come down and take a look at it and. | 00:37:50 | |
| Together a price for it, we received three bids. One of the bidders did not attend a mandatory pre bid and so that bid was | 00:37:56 | |
| disqualified. So the two remaining bids. | 00:38:00 | |
| Were evaluated and were making the recommendation to. | 00:38:05 | |
| Provide the contract to Roman Construction for the for the repairs to the liner. | 00:38:09 | |
| At both Russell Gulch and Buckhead Mason. | 00:38:13 | |
| OK. Thank you, supervisor. | 00:38:17 | |
| Client. So Matt, you're replacing the liners? | 00:38:19 | |
| And both of them, no, we're just replacing the liner and Russell Gulch, the one in backpack Mesa. | 00:38:22 | |
| To the point where we can repair. It's just a minor repair, OK? | 00:38:27 | |
| Thank you. | 00:38:30 | |
| Supervisor, thank you. Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Matt, I. | 00:38:32 | |
| Visited Buckhead a lot, not so much Russell Go. | 00:38:36 | |
| Buckhead Mesa's got a fencing issue. We've got cattle and we've got. | 00:38:39 | |
| Elk visiting our ponds, they're walking on them. | 00:38:44 | |
| And it's going to be far cheaper to get a fence. | 00:38:48 | |
| That's eventually is that in the plan? It is actually it's OK, Chairman Humphrey, Supervisor Christensen. We are aware of that and | 00:38:51 | |
| we are putting that in for the for the for the improvements to the fencing around that. | 00:38:56 | |
| Yeah. And so has there been an evaluation of the entire fence line around that? | 00:39:02 | |
| Landfill. | 00:39:08 | |
| Because we're getting cattle. | 00:39:08 | |
| We're also looking at that as well when we're doing the site inspections. | 00:39:10 | |
| For the leachate pond, we're also doing a walk around of the perimeters next. So we are aware of that too and we'll be repairing | 00:39:13 | |
| those areas as well on the perimeter fence. | 00:39:17 | |
| But that's not part of this project. | 00:39:21 | |
| Thank you. | 00:39:24 | |
| Yeah, that's something I brought up in. | 00:39:25 | |
| An agenda review is like. | 00:39:28 | |
| What seems like we're always patching these. | 00:39:30 | |
| And so then the discussion about Fence came up. | 00:39:33 | |
| Because of animals. | 00:39:37 | |
| In both areas. | 00:39:39 | |
| Of Havelana elk dear. | 00:39:40 | |
| Puncturing the. | 00:39:43 | |
| Liner. So yeah, I do believe it sinks a good idea. So thank you. And if there's no further questions or comments, I'll call for a | 00:39:44 | |
| motion. | 00:39:48 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to award contract #GIL-IFB. | 00:39:52 | |

| Good morning, Mr. Chair, Supervisor Christensen, Supervisor Klein. | 00:40:37 | |
| We began bringing this to the board for authorization last year. | 00:40:42 | |
| It is an annual requirement that goes with our statutory obligation. | 00:40:47 | |
| We find that it's important. | 00:40:53 | |
| That you be aware of the deadlines. | 00:40:56 | |
| Outlined in the. | 00:40:58 | |
| Audit request list. | 00:41:01 | |
| And that when you send that out to other departments, that they know that we're all on the same team. | 00:41:02 | |
| Working toward audit completion. Happy to answer any questions you may have. | 00:41:09 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:41:13 | |
| This isn't anything out of the ordinary, is it, Mary? We've done that year after year, so. | 00:41:16 | |
| Thank you for your help and hopefully it goes good. | 00:41:21 | |
| Supervisor Christianson, thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Mayor, for that. | 00:41:24 | |
| Appreciate you. | 00:41:28 | |
| Ma'am, I have no questions. Thank you. So. | 00:41:29 | |
| There's nothing else I'll call for a motion on three. | 00:41:32 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll move to authorize you to come to Chief Fiscal Officer Marin Belling to sign the Auditor General's. | 00:41:36 | |
| Engagement letter and audit request list. I'll second that. | 00:41:42 | |
| Having a motion second all in favor say aye aye. | 00:41:46 | |
| I guess. | 00:41:52 | |
| 3J passes unanimous. | 00:41:53 | |
| We're going on 2/3 K information action. | 00:41:55 | |
| To acknowledge the annual invoice. | 00:41:58 | |
| For the Arizona Otter General's office. | 00:42:00 | |
| For federal. | 00:42:04 | |
| Single audit services. | 00:42:06 | |
| And comparative federal. | 00:42:08 | |
| Single audit data. | 00:42:12 | |
| For 2016. | 00:42:15 | |
| To 2025. | 00:42:17 | |
| Again. | 00:42:20 | |
| Marion Bailey, Thank you, Mr. Chair. | 00:42:20 | |
| This is information. | 00:42:23 | |
| That. | 00:42:25 | |
| Your management team asked me to bring to the Board of Supervisors so that you and our constituents can be aware. | 00:42:25 | |
| Of the progress that Gila County has made. | 00:42:32 | |
| These encompass. | 00:42:36 | |
| All of the audits that have. | 00:42:38 | |
| Published since I started with Gila County in July of 2018. | 00:42:39 | |
| Listed here. | 00:42:45 | |
| We have. | 00:42:47 | |
| The single audit invoice amount. So that's what the. | 00:42:50 | |
| Auditor General's Office. | 00:42:53 | |
| Build us Jonathan if you could Scroll down to that first box of text. | 00:42:55 | |
| Perfect. Thank you. | 00:43:01 | |
| So the invoice that is. | 00:43:02 | |
| Here today for you. | 00:43:05 | |
| Is $26,390.00 for. | 00:43:07 | |
| And you can see that compares and is the lowest. | 00:43:11 | |
| Invoice amount. | 00:43:15 | |
| Over the past 10 years. | 00:43:16 | |
| And we just wanted to make sure that you and our constituents are aware that we. | 00:43:19 | |
| We actively work to make this more efficient every year. | 00:43:23 | |
| That next text box down shows. | 00:43:28 | |
| The. | 00:43:32 | |
| Total number of federal programs. | 00:43:33 | |
| And the total? | 00:43:35 | |
| SEFA amount. | 00:43:36 | |
| That acronym stands for. | 00:43:38 | |
| Schedule an expenditure of federal awards. | 00:43:40 | |
| As you can see, back in 2016 the amount was 9 million 791. | 00:43:45 | |
| And we've got a little asterisk there. | 00:43:51 | |
| To let you know that the reason that it goes from 9 million 791. | 00:43:53 | |
| In 2016. | 00:43:59 | |
| Down to 4 million oh 18 and 2017. | 00:44:00 | |
| Was because. | 00:44:03 | |
| The federal requirements stopped having US list tilt. | 00:44:05 | |
| The payment in lieu of taxes, so that's that big. | 00:44:10 | |
| Downward slump there. | 00:44:14 | |
| And then you can see from 2017 to now. | 00:44:16 | |
| It has. | 00:44:19 | |
| It has gradually grown except for. | 00:44:20 | |
| Where you can see that ARPA? | 00:44:23 | |
| Would have made a big impact in that year that we have the 18,000,000. | 00:44:25 | |
| In 2023. | 00:44:30 | |
| You can also see that our number of federal programs. | 00:44:32 | |
| Is fairly consistent. | 00:44:35 | |
| And the year that. | 00:44:38 | |
| We are presenting today. | 00:44:40 | |
| Invoice for. | 00:44:41 | |
| Had 36 programs. | 00:44:43 | |
| With a total SEFA amount of 9 million. | 00:44:45 | |
| 916,000. | 00:44:49 | |
| And that encompasses all the federal grants that come in. | 00:44:51 | |
| To Gila County. | 00:44:54 | |
| And then a little further down, we do clarify. | 00:44:58 | |
| That, umm. | 00:45:01 | |
| 202324 and 25. | 00:45:02 | |
| Where our audit years that. | 00:45:05 | |
| Published timely, which is by the 331 deadline. | 00:45:08 | |
| And had one finding each. | 00:45:12 | |
| We then outline. | 00:45:15 | |
| Going back to 2016. | 00:45:17 | |
| How many days after deadline? | 00:45:20 | |
| And how many federal findings we had. | 00:45:23 | |
| So the highest number of. | 00:45:26 | |
| Days, 2016. | 00:45:28 | |
| Published 545 days after. | 00:45:31 | |
| Deadline, which is. | 00:45:34 | |
| Almost two years. | 00:45:35 | |
| And had six findings. | 00:45:37 | |
| And you can see. | 00:45:39 | |
| We've gotten more current. | 00:45:41 | |
| And continue to work to reduce our findings. | 00:45:44 | |
| We did have one year with 0 findings, but that that's a that's an anomaly. | 00:45:49 | |
| And that is the sum total of today's presentation We do have attached in case you or our constituents need it. | 00:45:56 | |
| The actual single audit report. | 00:46:04 | |
| Support which is quite lengthy. | 00:46:06 | |
| And quite detailed. | 00:46:08 | |
| Our Federal Audit Clearinghouse report, which just shows that we uploaded it to the federal government and it was accepted. | 00:46:10 | |
| And then we also have. | 00:46:16 | |
| The state statute. | 00:46:18 | |
| That applies to this and explains why it is. | 00:46:20 | |
| This is required. | 00:46:24 | |
| Happy to answer any questions you have. | 00:46:26 | |
| Or research any additional information. | 00:46:28 | |
| Thank you. | 00:46:31 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 00:46:32 | |
| So man, we came a long way since 16. | 00:46:35 | |
| Yes, Sir, that was a big chore. | 00:46:38 | |
| So let me ask you, you see, we we were able to drop Pilt off of that. | 00:46:40 | |
| Formula. Were we also able to drop LATCF funds off of it as well? | 00:46:44 | |
| You only we would only be picking up LATCF funds when those are expended because they haven't been expended. | 00:46:49 | |
| They are not reported yet. | 00:46:55 | |
| OK. And so the invoice like for this year is 20,000 and whatever it is? | 00:46:56 | |
| That's for the work the auditors had to do for. | 00:47:01 | |
| For this year so. | 00:47:05 | |
| That's that's for the work they had to do. | 00:47:06 | |
| Mr. Chairman, Supervisor Klein, that's for the work they had to do to audit the 2025. | 00:47:09 | |
| Schedule of expenditure of federal awards, Yes. | 00:47:14 | |
| So the easier it gets unless we have to pay them. | 00:47:17 | |
| The more compliant we are. | 00:47:22 | |
| The less work they have to do. That's a good way of putting it as well. | 00:47:25 | |
| Thank you, Mary. | 00:47:28 | |
| Christians. | 00:47:31 | |
| Thank you. Thank you, Maren. I I don't have any. | 00:47:32 | |
| Yeah, this data really shows a lot of improvement and. | 00:47:36 | |
| And what you're working with to try to help us. | 00:47:40 | |
| Stay within our boundaries. | 00:47:43 | |
| And so thank you very, very much. | 00:47:45 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's our privilege to be able to do this work. | 00:47:48 | |
| Yeah. Thank you. | 00:47:51 | |
| And so if there's. | 00:47:52 | |
| No further questions. I will call for motion. | 00:47:54 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to acknowledge the annual invoice. Arizona Auditor General's Office. | 00:47:57 | |

| That's where we see most of our outbreaks. | 00:52:42 | |
| We participate in exercises and trainings. We went to the pre fire meetings and during the flood we also dealt with any public | 00:52:45 | |

| Every year, Sir. | 00:53:44 | |
| OK. Yeah, that sounds better because you split it up over five years, That's not a lot of money. No, it's not peanuts. And I think | 00:53:45 | |

| Programs. | 00:56:55 | |
| Only guys are up again. | 00:56:56 | |
| Thank you Chairman, members of the board, this is a brand new grant that. | 00:56:58 | |
| We've given to Savannah Morcanti, our manager. | 00:57:03 | |
| Because it does have a lot of disease management within it. | 00:57:07 | |
| And she's excited to present a little bit about it so that, you know. | 00:57:10 | |
| Going forward, what we're going to be. | 00:57:15 | |
| Focusing on as far as this World Transformation grant, you'll hear a lot of rural transformation monies coming in many different | 00:57:17 | |
| avenues. | 00:57:22 | |
| And this is for the health department. This is the one that we have applied for and received. | 00:57:27 | |
| Absolutely. | 00:57:33 | |
| Hi Chairman and the members of the board before you is the Rural Health Transformation Program agreement with ADHS, it's a five | 00:57:34 | |
| year grant will fund a health program coordinator to communicable disease. | 00:57:39 | |
| Specialists at temporary medical biller and a temporary community health specialist. So they split the grant into two projects. | 00:57:44 | |
| The first one we were able to. | 00:57:51 | |
| Well, we got to pick what we wanted to focus on and chronic disease prevention. | 00:57:53 | |
| We're going to do. | 00:57:58 | |
| We're going to hopefully distribute approximately 230. | 00:58:00 | |
| At home cook. | 00:58:04 | |
| Colorectal cancer screening tests. | 00:58:06 | |
| The person is going to It will expand nutrition and physical education throughout our schools, libraries, senior citizens and | 00:58:09 | |
| communities, along with breastfeeding education for new mothers. | 00:58:15 | |
| And it will also help us get access, more involved and hopefully help. | 00:58:20 | |
| Some of the. | 00:58:25 | |
| The colon cancer screenings, if they come back abnormal, what we're going to hopefully do is. | 00:58:27 | |
| Partner with some clinics and be able to point them in the direction of care. | 00:58:32 | |
| So the Project B focuses on congenital syphilis prevention. | 00:58:36 | |
| Specifically, education and outreach to women of childbearing age and encourages appropriate testing and treatment. We are awarded | 00:58:41 | |
| $75,554.20 for that. | 00:58:46 | |
| You guys have any questions for me? | 00:58:53 | |
| Supervisor Clown. | 00:58:54 | |
| Sounds like you're going to be very busy for a little while. | 00:58:57 | |
| That was a goal, yeah. | 00:59:00 | |
| I do want to point out that this grant is going to fund too. | 00:59:03 | |
| Health fairs, we're going to do 1 northern, 1 southern. | 00:59:07 | |
| For the next 5 years we're hoping to make them huge. We're working with a lot of the resources here in the community we have | 00:59:10 | |
| started talking to. | 00:59:13 | |
| Providers to bring someone to do in screenings for kids. We've talked to Access to bring in some dental screenings. | 00:59:18 | |
| We're hoping that they're gonna be huge. | 00:59:25 | |
| Thank you. | 00:59:28 | |
| So what a Christian? | 00:59:31 | |
| Thank you. I have no question. | 00:59:33 | |
| Yeah, I don't either other than thank you for reaching all these grants and put them. | 00:59:36 | |
| Putting him to good use. | 00:59:40 | |
| Josh, do you have some information for us? No, just one quick thing that I thought of while she's up here is. | 00:59:42 | |
| As. | 00:59:48 | |
| Our former emergency manager is out. I know you've been seeing new emails. I just wanted to remind the board and introduce | 00:59:49 | |
| Savannah also and she's taken over. | 00:59:53 | |
| My old position from a long time ago where we combined public health, emergency preparedness and Emergency Management. | 00:59:58 | |
| Because we all work together. I know all of you have been to the EOC before when we've had it open, usually Paula and public | 01:00:03 | |
| health side come together. So because she has that experience, she stepped up and she's our acting emergency manager right now. So | 01:00:08 | |
| if you have any issues or anything. | 01:00:13 | |
| The van is here and she's got Paula, me and Michael developing the emergency manager back in our past. | 01:00:18 | |
| Supporting her stuff. | 01:00:23 | |
| Just wanted to give her those kudos. | 01:00:25 | |
| Thank you, I appreciate it. | 01:00:27 | |
| So if you guys need anything really call me. I'm not going to be sleeping this next week. | 01:00:28 | |
| OK. Congratulations on on. | 01:00:32 | |
| On your experience and stepping up to can. | 01:00:36 | |
| To help us in a in a different way, yeah. | 01:00:39 | |
| I appreciate it. Thank you. | 01:00:41 | |
| You bet, you bet. | 01:00:43 | |
| And so. | 01:00:44 | |
| If there's nothing further, I'll call for motion. | 01:00:45 | |
| Mr. Chair, I'll move to approve the intergovernmental agreement contract number CT. | 01:00:48 | |
| R082568 with the Arizona Department of Health Services, as presented. | 01:00:53 | |

| Supervisor Christianson. | 01:01:31 | |
| I'm fine as well. | 01:01:32 | |

| Three of the tax exemptions. | 01:01:38 | |
| On this consent agenda item. | 01:01:42 | |
| And so if no one cares to take anything off. | 01:01:45 | |
| I will call for a motion. | 01:01:49 | |
| To accept consent agenda items for a through 4:00. | 01:01:51 | |

| What are your plans for the Veterans Retreat? | 01:03:00 | |
| Donate money and items to retreat. Return donated. | 01:03:03 | |
| Return donations from the reimbursement veterans and kind. | 01:03:07 | |
| OK. And so? | 01:03:13 | |
| You're called the public. You have. | 01:03:14 | |
| 3 minutes to address the board. Please do. | 01:03:16 | |
| OK. Thank you. | 01:03:19 | |
| Supervisors, my name is Linda Merlin. I am a veteran. | 01:03:21 | |
| And I'm concerned with. | 01:03:25 | |
| What are you going to do with the property if it's not going to be the veterans retreat and if it isn't going to be the veterans | 01:03:29 | |
| retreat? | 01:03:32 | |
| Are you gonna put a section aside for veterans to use it? | 01:03:35 | |
| Because we do have a high suicide rate and I know of. | 01:03:39 | |
| Local veterans because I just started doing veteran stuff in the last 12 months. | 01:03:42 | |
| To help our local veterans, and I know some. | 01:03:47 | |
| Go up there. | 01:03:51 | |
| There are caregivers and so when they get. | 01:03:52 | |
| The time they do go up there and use it. | 01:03:55 | |
| For a day trip. | 01:03:58 | |
| Things of that nature. I'm trying to get something set up. | 01:04:00 | |
| Where we go as a group. | 01:04:03 | |
| But so I'm just. | 01:04:05 | |
| You know, I want to know what you're going to do with the property. Why are we going to? | 01:04:07 | |
| Get rid of it. | 01:04:11 | |
| From from being a retreat. | 01:04:12 | |
| You know, I know that we already share it with the. | 01:04:15 | |
| Public. | 01:04:18 | |
| Is there a reason we're not going to share it with the public and the veterans it serves up? | 01:04:20 | |
| A public need. | 01:04:25 | |
| OK. Yeah, I appreciate your questions. We can't. | 01:04:29 | |
| Comment on. | 01:04:32 | |
| On call to the public. | 01:04:33 | |
| OK, but but. | 01:04:34 | |
| But we do appreciate your comments. | 01:04:36 | |
| Because we're, you know. | 01:04:40 | |
| Those are all things that. | 01:04:42 | |
| We can work on in the future and we can ask. | 01:04:44 | |
| For there to be a meeting in the future. | 01:04:47 | |
| And so, yeah, but but to answer your questions. | 01:04:50 | |
| Today, we can't do that on call to the public. | 01:04:54 | |
| Well, this is my first time to do something like this. Like I said, I am new as a veterans advocate. | 01:04:57 | |
| I'm with the Elks Lodge. I'm the veteran chair. | 01:05:04 | |
| We do 5 things a month now instead of 1. | 01:05:06 | |
| And I'm trying to get more veterans involved. | 01:05:10 | |
| And it's like. | 01:05:13 | |
| I'm using that retreat as a. | 01:05:14 | |
| You know that. | 01:05:18 | |
| An enticement to get some of the guys to go do stuff, get out of the house. | 01:05:20 | |
| You know, be around other veterans. | 01:05:25 | |
| Slow down the suicide rate. | 01:05:27 | |
| Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you very much. | 01:05:30 | |
| Well. | 01:05:33 | |
| John, you. | 01:05:35 | |
| A deal here. | 01:05:38 | |
| If you'd like to read it, I'll give it back to you so you can read it. I'd rather spend my time on something. | 01:05:40 | |
| That's fine, you can keep a copy of it. | 01:05:47 | |
| OK, um. | 01:05:49 | |
| Thank you, gentlemen. | 01:05:51 | |
| Good morning. | 01:05:52 | |
| And I appreciate you giving me the time to speak here today. | 01:05:53 | |
| I do want to acknowledge that, you know. | 01:05:58 | |
| What you guys do is tough. I get it. I've been in that seat myself. I know you guys have a lot of decisions to make. | 01:06:00 | |
| And the concerns of our little small community and young. | 01:06:05 | |
| May not always be something that you're focused on when you're making decisions for the whole of the county. And so I appreciate | 01:06:10 | |
| what you guys do. | 01:06:13 | |
| But with that in mind, I want to tell you something a little bit. | 01:06:18 | |
| About a little town called Young. | 01:06:21 | |
| We have 1 dirt Rd. | 01:06:23 | |
| Coming in from the north and Wonder Rd. going South. | 01:06:25 | |
| And we have very little services from the county there. | 01:06:29 | |
| Factor Fire Department is a fully Volunteer Fire Department I happen to be a part of. | 01:06:32 | |
| Although anything that I say here today is mine in my opinion, lovers. | 01:06:37 | |
| I do appreciate that. | 01:06:41 | |
| You know, in young. | 01:06:44 | |
| We are a bunch of crazy people. | 01:06:52 | |
| We're very self resilient and self-reliant. | 01:06:56 | |
| You know we all either live in young or move to young because we want to stand on our own 2 feet. | 01:06:59 | |
| We want to do our own thing without people telling us what to do. | 01:07:04 | |
| And again, we're small community and we don't have a lot of services in there. | 01:07:07 | |
| So specifically, I did send you an e-mail. | 01:07:12 | |
| And it's OK if you hadn't had a chance to look at it or review it. I suggest you take some time to look at it and review it. | 01:07:14 | |
| It's specifically with some of the stuff that you guys are doing around zoning. | 01:07:20 | |
| And permitting. Now let me just give you an example. | 01:07:23 | |
| Of some of the problems that you caused by making something that's for the county and I get it and paste in and in the big cities. | 01:07:26 | |
| You need zoning and you need laws to control people because they step on each other. | 01:07:32 | |
| But what you've done for us is, for example, with the whole permanent thing that you guys have done. | 01:07:37 | |
| We got to hire people now to come down there. | 01:07:42 | |
| Private inspectors and they charge us three to four times. | 01:07:45 | |
| The amount is to come to our place. | 01:07:48 | |
| That disenfranchises us. | 01:07:51 | |
| That puts an undue burden on us. | 01:07:54 | |
| When you do things like zoning and permitting. | 01:07:57 | |
| Because it costs us a heck of a lot more and usually they don't come the next day. | 01:08:00 | |
| They take three weeks to show up, even the county people. | 01:08:04 | |
| Take a long time to show up to get things done. | 01:08:06 | |
| So that's the kind of thing where I get why you're making the decision. | 01:08:09 | |
| I get for the larger county as a whole. | 01:08:13 | |
| But it's almost like you got to draw a circle around. | 01:08:16 | |
| US and say there are special people. | 01:08:19 | |
| Young is a paradise. | 01:08:22 | |
| When we take care of our own, whether it's our fire department, whether it's our volunteers. | 01:08:24 | |
| We're there for each other. | 01:08:28 | |
| And as much as we appreciate what you guys do. | 01:08:29 | |
| You know, it's almost like I want to say, hey, draw a circle around this. | 01:08:33 | |
| Let us handle one. | 01:08:38 | |
| I have a lot more concerns to talk to you guys about and I appreciate. | 01:08:40 | |
| You guys giving me a little bit more extra time because I do want to talk about the veteran. | 01:08:44 | |
| I know it's not something that you can talk to me about today. | 01:08:49 | |
| And again, I appreciate everything you do. | 01:08:52 | |
| But I want to impress upon you how important this veteran center is. | 01:08:54 | |
| As someone who was born in this country. | 01:08:58 | |
| And appreciates the freedoms that I have in this country. | 01:09:01 | |
| I appreciate the people who made the sacrifice to make that happen for me. | 01:09:05 | |
| And I can't imagine a board. | 01:09:10 | |
| Especially 1 here in Hurley County. | 01:09:12 | |
| Deciding anything other than to support our veterans. | 01:09:15 | |
| And the people who put their lives on the line for us. | 01:09:18 | |
| Right now, the reason I say this is because. | 01:09:21 | |
| It only takes you. | 01:09:24 | |
| And I really would hope that you would do this to reach out to some of the veterans, for example, who come to the hunt for heroes. | 01:09:25 | |
| Right. And the Catholic. | 01:09:33 | |
| Transformation that they have. | 01:09:35 | |
| Through. | 01:09:37 | |
| Going out there, grabbing a gun. | 01:09:38 | |
| And hunting something for food versus cleansing. | 01:09:40 | |
| That's important. | 01:09:44 | |
| That's a service that we provide. | 01:09:46 | |
| Back to people who put their lives on the line for us. | 01:09:48 | |
| So I don't want to take too much of your time, but I would just hope that you would take what I put in that e-mail to you guys | 01:09:51 | |
| seriously. | 01:09:54 | |
| Consider it. | 01:09:57 | |
| Not just about zoning. | 01:09:59 | |
| But also about permitting. | 01:10:00 | |
| And even the five. | 01:10:02 | |
| 12 N Grove. | 01:10:03 | |
| Which even in your own proposal, you guys said that has nothing to do with the community. It's about our infrastructure going up | 01:10:04 | |
| and down the road. | 01:10:07 | |
| So even doing that. | 01:10:11 | |
| Without regard for us. | 01:10:12 | |
| So again. | 01:10:14 | |
| Please consider the decisions you make and the unique situation. | 01:10:16 | |
| Young sits in. | 01:10:19 | |
| Given that, we really don't ask a lot from this county. | 01:10:21 | |
| We really don't get a lot from this. | 01:10:24 | |
| But yet we're paying our taxes when we try to be a. | 01:10:25 | |
| Good part of the community. | 01:10:28 | |
| And we're self-sustaining. | 01:10:29 | |
| And yeah, that Veterans Park man, I can't imagine. | 01:10:31 | |
| You know, you guys all seem like really nice, good guys. | 01:10:35 | |
| I can't imagine you guys willing to close it. | 01:10:38 | |
| And if you do. | 01:10:41 | |
| Just like my letter with the zoning, you're going to be standing toe to toe with me. | 01:10:44 | |
| Appreciate your time, gentlemen. Thank you so much and appreciate your service. | 01:10:49 | |
| Thank you very much. | 01:10:52 | |
| OK, that. | 01:10:56 | |
| Pretty much does our call to the public. | 01:10:58 | |
| Thank you for your comments today. | 01:11:01 | |
| OK, now we are going to go. | 01:11:06 | |
| There's still nobody on YouTube. | 01:11:09 | |
| How many do we have today? | 01:11:12 | |
| 53 total use 53 total. OK, thank you. | 01:11:15 | |
| OK, we're going to move on to. | 01:11:22 | |
| Item 6 which is current. | 01:11:26 | |
| A summary of current events. | 01:11:30 | |
| At any time during the meeting pursuant to ARS 38. | 01:11:32 | |
| 431.02 K Members of the Board of Supervisors. | 01:11:36 | |
| And the county manager may prevent a brief summary of. | 01:11:41 | |
| Current events. No action may be taken on the information. | 01:11:44 | |
| Present it super. Let's go with Mr. | 01:11:49 | |
| Michael O'Driscoll county manager first today. | 01:11:53 | |
| Chairman, members of the board, thank you. I'll be brief. | 01:11:56 | |
| Just a few updates. | 01:11:59 | |
| And our finance department, we finalized the procurement management job description and that's posted. | 01:12:01 | |
| That position is going to be helping Olivia in a finance team. | 01:12:07 | |
| Get to all the contracts that are in the queue. | 01:12:11 | |
| So we could streamline that system. | 01:12:14 | |
| And hopefully reduce the time that. | 01:12:16 | |
| Contracts go from the department through the finance department in front of the board. | 01:12:19 | |
| And we're already seeing improvement there, but Marin and. | 01:12:24 | |
| And and Libya. | 01:12:27 | |
| Are going to be working on getting that. | 01:12:28 | |
| That timeline down a little bit. | 01:12:32 | |
| We're doing HR directors. | 01:12:34 | |
| Interviews next week. | 01:12:36 | |
| August 11th. | 01:12:37 | |
| So we've received several candidates, several good candidates for that. So next week we're going to be doing those. | 01:12:38 | |
| Our public affairs and communications chief. | 01:12:45 | |
| We have two really good candidates. | 01:12:48 | |
| Outside candidates. And we're gonna be. | 01:12:51 | |
| Josh and myself are going to be doing second interviews. | 01:12:54 | |
| And we're also finalizing a plan with Troy, Joseph and Nat. | 01:12:57 | |
| Public works. | 01:13:02 | |
| To restructure some of the departments and public works. | 01:13:03 | |
| To update their systems. | 01:13:07 | |
| And make it a lot more efficient. | 01:13:09 | |
| And we should have a finalized version probably in the next two to three weeks. | 01:13:12 | |
| Which I'll sit down with each of you and go over. | 01:13:16 | |
| So, and that's all I have. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer those. | 01:13:20 | |
| OK, now. | 01:13:25 | |
| Supervisor. | 01:13:28 | |
| Do you have anything for us today? | 01:13:30 | |
| I do. | 01:13:32 | |
| I do so. | 01:13:35 | |
| A while back I met with a gentleman out there, Chris Till mine. His name is Andy Colburn. | 01:13:37 | |
| And had a really good conversation with him out there. I don't know how many here and. | 01:13:43 | |
| This room's familiar with Chris Till. | 01:13:48 | |
| It sits way out in the middle of nothing. | 01:13:51 | |
| But the one time was a very active mindset, Jill. | 01:13:53 | |
| And so. | 01:13:57 | |
| He's going through. He wants to do some changes out there. | 01:13:59 | |
| He's been working somewhat with Randye department and so there's more to do. | 01:14:04 | |
| So I've agreed to sit and I have done this. I set up. | 01:14:09 | |
| With Randy. | 01:14:12 | |
| Me and Randy will travel out there and meet with Andy out there. Randy will be able to look at his projects. | 01:14:13 | |
| And so forth and and go forward with that. That was. | 01:14:18 | |
| That was. | 01:14:22 | |
| That'll be a good start, I think it'll keep things straight through the process as he needs to go to. | 01:14:24 | |
| On Friday, I met with Michael Ovisco Friday afternoon at 4:00. | 01:14:30 | |
| I had a request from Michael to sit down and visit with him. Not sit down with him, but on teams. | 01:14:36 | |
| And discuss the. | 01:14:42 | |
| The veteran site. | 01:14:44 | |
| And the licensing agreement. | 01:14:46 | |
| And everything going forward with that. | 01:14:49 | |
| And actually in reference to. | 01:14:51 | |
| Today's executive session. | 01:14:52 | |
| So we had a lengthy meeting. | 01:14:56 | |
| It was lasted over an hour. | 01:14:58 | |
| Me and Michael don't always agree. | 01:15:04 | |
| Matter of fact, most time we don't. | 01:15:06 | |
| But we're good about talking and. | 01:15:07 | |
| Conversion with each other on this. | 01:15:09 | |
| And I appreciate that. | 01:15:11 | |
| I did not agree with anything in this meeting. | 01:15:14 | |
| On teams. | 01:15:17 | |
| Michael went over the licensing agreement to some extent. | 01:15:19 | |
| I I kind of felt like the. | 01:15:25 | |
| The options that. | 01:15:27 | |
| Was given to our nonprofit. | 01:15:29 | |
| Organization that's sitting in the. | 01:15:31 | |
| Wings to get started. | 01:15:33 | |
| Was uh. | 01:15:35 | |
| Either do it this way or. | 01:15:36 | |
| We go find somebody else. | 01:15:38 | |
| Michael referred to the other two of you on a couple of different sit. | 01:15:41 | |
| Times on this. | 01:15:45 | |
| He referred to the fact that. | 01:15:47 | |
| My other. | 01:15:50 | |
| Two supervisors here didn't want to throw in much for. | 01:15:51 | |
| General fund dollars to fund it. | 01:15:56 | |
| And we went back and forth and we went back and forth for a long time. And actually I had options and some. | 01:16:00 | |
| Different ways we could do things even with the funding. | 01:16:07 | |
| But we came out of that meeting with just one thing. | 01:16:11 | |
| In place, and that was to discuss that. | 01:16:14 | |
| Site today in executive session. | 01:16:17 | |
| I feel. | 01:16:21 | |
| Today that we don't. | 01:16:22 | |
| We still can discuss it up front. | 01:16:23 | |
| And I hope we can. | 01:16:25 | |
| Talk about that a little later on. | 01:16:27 | |
| I don't like discussing things behind closed doors that don't need to be behind closed doors. | 01:16:30 | |
| I really don't. | 01:16:35 | |
| I know that the County attorney's office still has the opinion and has had for for a while. | 01:16:36 | |
| Not that we don't have statutory authority. | 01:16:42 | |
| Recommend it. | 01:16:46 | |
| And so, but anyway, going forward. | 01:16:47 | |
| That was a long, lengthy meeting. | 01:16:50 | |
| The very next day. | 01:16:53 | |
| I had a meeting. | 01:16:55 | |
| With the town there in young. | 01:16:57 | |
| And what prompted that meeting was a while back that one of Randy's presentations. | 01:16:59 | |
| He had asked me what is the belly feel like as far as zoning. | 01:17:05 | |
| And I told Randy that day. I said if it had been 15 years ago, I could have told you, but today I don't know because there's so | 01:17:09 | |
| many new people. | 01:17:13 | |
| As it moved into that valley, I did not know. | 01:17:17 | |
| So I asked for a. | 01:17:19 | |
| Public meeting. We had it there at the. | 01:17:21 | |
| Community Center. | 01:17:23 | |
| We had it right around 200 people show up. | 01:17:24 | |
| That meeting? | 01:17:28 | |
| It was a very. | 01:17:30 | |
| Well attended, they were very respectful. | 01:17:32 | |
| Good conversations. I felt like Sean was one of. | 01:17:36 | |
| That was there. | 01:17:40 | |
| And so the discussions weren't just about no, no zoning, there's discussions about. | 01:17:43 | |
| What would it look like to zone it? | 01:17:49 | |
| And how would that be? What would the advantages be? | 01:17:50 | |
| What would you know? | 01:17:53 | |
| Versus zoning of versus not zoning, that was all discussed. It was a very good meeting. | 01:17:54 | |
| But when I asked the question. | 01:18:00 | |
| Who in this room is in favor of zoning? | 01:18:03 | |
| Not one person held their hand up. | 01:18:06 | |
| Now, whether that's because somebody would be afraid to hold their hand up in that big of a crowd, I don't really know, but that's | 01:18:10 | |
| just a matter of fact. | 01:18:13 | |
| Nobody, nobody held their hand up in that. | 01:18:17 | |
| I talked about the Vet Center in our. | 01:18:22 | |
| Public meeting and our community meeting. | 01:18:25 | |
| And I need support. | 01:18:28 | |
| I need help on this vet center. | 01:18:30 | |
| The best center means a lot to me. | 01:18:32 | |
| As it should to this county. | 01:18:35 | |
| And I thought about this quite a bit and it's not. | 01:18:37 | |
| Just my project, it's accounting project. | 01:18:40 | |
| Any big projects, Anything that happens in the county, you're looking at the three that say yay or nay. | 01:18:43 | |
| The debt center to me. | 01:18:50 | |
| It isn't just about how pretty it is. | 01:18:55 | |
| How well it's put together. | 01:18:57 | |
| The amenities that are there. | 01:18:59 | |
| And so forth. | 01:19:01 | |
| It's about who it supports. | 01:19:03 | |
| And who it represents. | 01:19:05 | |
| The Vet Center represents veterans all across the nation. It's not just. | 01:19:08 | |
| Gila County. | 01:19:13 | |
| It's not just Arizona, it's all across the states. | 01:19:14 | |
| It's it's getting very widely known. | 01:19:17 | |
| We're still standing in the in the. | 01:19:20 | |
| Shadows getting ready to really kick off and do some things. I get it. | 01:19:22 | |
| We have things to workout. | 01:19:26 | |
| But importantly to me as well is it represents Gila County. | 01:19:28 | |
| It represents the fact that we support. | 01:19:33 | |
| Veterans in Hilakayani. | 01:19:36 | |
| There's something again in this room that hadn't ever heard me say this, but I've said it several times. | 01:19:39 | |
| If it weren't for vets, we wouldn't be here today. | 01:19:44 | |
| And I truly may not. | 01:19:47 | |
| I'm not a vet myself. | 01:19:49 | |
| I I have lots of family members that are. | 01:19:51 | |
| I like to see. | 01:19:55 | |
| That Vet Center continue on. | 01:19:56 | |
| And grow and get better and better. | 01:19:58 | |
| The wills are in place to do that. | 01:20:01 | |
| And so. | 01:20:04 | |
| That's where we're at. | 01:20:05 | |
| I wanted, I don't. | 01:20:06 | |
| I'm I'm kind of sad in some ways that a lot of people don't keep up on our meetings. | 01:20:09 | |
| We have YouTube there, we have a lot of things, but still people don't follow our meetings that close. | 01:20:13 | |
| And so people have a right. | 01:20:18 | |
| Our constituents. | 01:20:20 | |
| Throughout the county have a right to know what's going on in our county. | 01:20:21 | |
| And. | 01:20:25 | |
| There there was a lot of support. | 01:20:26 | |
| Voiced in those meetings. | 01:20:29 | |
| And voiced against zoning. | 01:20:30 | |
| And that is what I have to report to you on. | 01:20:33 | |
| That yesterday I had a meeting with department heads. | 01:20:36 | |
| It went very good. | 01:20:41 | |
| Is is very informative and I really appreciate. | 01:20:43 | |
| All of their their help and. | 01:20:46 | |
| Participation in that. | 01:20:49 | |
| It it went good so. | 01:20:50 | |
| Thank you. | 01:20:52 | |
| OK. Should the larger Christiansen. Thank you, Chairman. Yesterday I was on KMOG. | 01:20:54 | |
| Casa was supposed to be on there but got some. | 01:21:00 | |
| Confused with. | 01:21:03 | |
| The date. And so anyway, they called me. Hey quick, come over here. We need you. | 01:21:05 | |
| I went in and. | 01:21:10 | |
| We just kind of have a good time doing that. | 01:21:11 | |
| I want to. I've been asked to personally invite the board. | 01:21:14 | |
| To be at a groundbreaking in person, it's for the eternal in search and rescue. | 01:21:18 | |
| And I can give this. | 01:21:24 | |
| We can send this information on, but it's going to be. | 01:21:26 | |
| August 12th at 10 AM. | 01:21:29 | |
| And it's going to be where they've been. | 01:21:31 | |
| Granted some land from the. | 01:21:34 | |
| MHA society over there. | 01:21:37 | |
| Called Granite Dells Rd. | 01:21:39 | |
| And so they're going to break ground on. | 01:21:41 | |
| Long-awaited building. | 01:21:44 | |
| That they've been wanting to do and so. | 01:21:47 | |
| Excited about that, I. | 01:21:50 | |
| I feel very close to that. | 01:21:52 | |
| Group they are. | 01:21:54 | |
| We got some really fine things. | 01:21:56 | |
| In Gila County, and this is one of them. | 01:21:58 | |
| And. | 01:22:02 | |
| A large group that. | 01:22:04 | |
| You do a lot of work. | 01:22:08 | |
| Voluntarily helping people that are injured or lost. | 01:22:09 | |
| Alipin can't take care of themselves, so it's a it's a great thing that we do. | 01:22:14 | |
| And so I, I do want to say that I appreciate. | 01:22:20 | |
| The received a lot of telephone calls. | 01:22:25 | |
| And I've listened to all of them and also a lot of the emails like. | 01:22:29 | |
| People have said that they sent. | 01:22:33 | |
| And when personally responded that. | 01:22:35 | |
| Because I get it. I understand what people are asking. | 01:22:39 | |
| Or and and advocating for and it's and I don't disagree with the. | 01:22:43 | |
| What they're saying at all? | 01:22:48 | |
| So I think there might be. | 01:22:50 | |
| Then what I've noticed is it's possible that there's miscommunication as to the intent. | 01:22:54 | |
| That I have towards some of the decisions regarding zoning and. | 01:23:00 | |
| The Vet Center. | 01:23:05 | |
| And I look forward to our work session where we can work things out. | 01:23:07 | |
| We're just working through legal issues. | 01:23:11 | |
| In my mind, we're not anywhere near discussing shutting anything down. | 01:23:15 | |
| Or imposing zoning that's not wanted. | 01:23:20 | |
| It's just part of the process as we go through. | 01:23:23 | |
| Randy, what are we calling it? An ordinance? Uh. | 01:23:27 | |
| Review. | 01:23:29 | |
| What's it? | 01:23:31 | |
| Rewrite. It's a common thing, and young is an area that's not zoned. | 01:23:33 | |
| And so it's only part of the consideration. | 01:23:39 | |
| Of what's going forward. | 01:23:42 | |
| We have not made any decisions regarding. | 01:23:45 | |
| So that's all I have. | 01:23:47 | |
| Or I get in trouble. | 01:23:49 | |
| I toured Garcia. | 01:23:52 | |
| About some drainage issues of. | 01:23:54 | |
| That was a. | 01:23:57 | |
| A HOA. | 01:24:00 | |
| That designed that and had the drainage there while. | 01:24:01 | |
| The drainage is tilted in and the HOA is gone. | 01:24:05 | |
| So I wrote to become the drainage so. | 01:24:08 | |
| We're doing some work. | 01:24:11 | |
| There to see what we can come up with to. | 01:24:12 | |
| Drain that area better. | 01:24:15 | |
| And then I'll hold a Tunnel Basin community meeting this evening. | 01:24:18 | |
| At 5:00. | 01:24:22 | |
| And I'll hold the Roosevelt community meeting. | 01:24:24 | |
| On Monday. | 01:24:27 | |
| At 1:00. | 01:24:29 | |
| And I do a lot of community meetings. | 01:24:31 | |
| And when I have my community meetings. | 01:24:34 | |
| I have staff. | 01:24:37 | |
| At my community meetings. | 01:24:39 | |
| So that people. | 01:24:41 | |
| Can ask questions. | 01:24:44 | |
| I asked. | 01:24:46 | |
| At my public meetings and I have these once a month. | 01:24:47 | |
| By Seala every three months. | 01:24:50 | |
| Because that's all they want to see. | 01:24:52 | |
| Me and Kashila because their role. | 01:24:54 | |
| One way and one way out. | 01:24:56 | |
| Just like young is and so. | 01:24:58 | |
| Yeah. | 01:25:00 | |
| I have every three months there. | 01:25:02 | |
| And I asked them is there can I bring any staff? | 01:25:04 | |
| So you can ask questions. | 01:25:08 | |
| Because I think people are only as good as the information they receive. | 01:25:10 | |
| Including me up here. | 01:25:14 | |
| If I don't receive information, then I don't have. | 01:25:16 | |
| Correct. | 01:25:21 | |
| Response. Lack of information. | 01:25:22 | |
| So when I go to my public meetings. | 01:25:26 | |
| I hand out packets about zonings. | 01:25:31 | |
| If they have any. | 01:25:34 | |
| Questions. | 01:25:36 | |
| On zonings. | 01:25:37 | |
| If they want to know. | 01:25:39 | |
| About the Pleasant Valley Retreat. | 01:25:40 | |
| I've got handouts. | 01:25:43 | |
| OK if they want to know about population. | 01:25:47 | |
| Per district. | 01:25:50 | |
| That's information. | 01:25:53 | |
| If they want to talk to. | 01:25:55 | |
| Randy, he shows up at my meeting. | 01:25:57 | |
| If they want to talk to it. | 01:25:59 | |
| Mr. O'Driscoll, he shows up at my meeting. | 01:26:00 | |
| Joseph is going to be at my meetings. He's just now public works director. | 01:26:03 | |
| And he wants to be at my meetings. | 01:26:07 | |
| To get. | 01:26:10 | |
| Out to know the public. | 01:26:11 | |
| So I understand there was a meeting Saturday. | 01:26:14 | |
| I had. | 01:26:17 | |
| Probably 8. | 01:26:19 | |
| Emails and over 35 phone calls. | 01:26:20 | |
| I have called. | 01:26:24 | |
| A lot of those people back. Have I had time? | 01:26:25 | |
| Since the meeting on Saturday, no Sunday, I kind of took a date off. | 01:26:28 | |
| Monday I was getting prepared for the meeting today. | 01:26:33 | |
| But I did call several people back. | 01:26:36 | |
| And I'll call a lot of the other people back. | 01:26:39 | |
| But it all seems to be the same concerns. | 01:26:42 | |
| That, uh. | 01:26:45 | |
| Zoning. | 01:26:47 | |
| It's county wide, it's not young only. | 01:26:48 | |
| And the Vet Center. | 01:26:51 | |
| Today we are going into an executive session which I'll read later to discuss and consult. | 01:26:53 | |
| With the board's attorney regarding the Pleasant Valley Veterans Retreat. | 01:27:00 | |
| What goes on in an executive session stays in an executive session. | 01:27:05 | |
| I have no idea other than. | 01:27:09 | |
| What we're going to hear from. | 01:27:11 | |
| Our board attorneys. | 01:27:13 | |
| We have to be legal. | 01:27:15 | |
| And I don't know what's going to be discussed in there. | 01:27:17 | |
| And I can't share it with you afterwards. | 01:27:21 | |
| Because what goes on there stays there. | 01:27:24 | |
| But but what I. | 01:27:26 | |
| You know, that's kind of what I have. | 01:27:28 | |
| Done and recent activities. You know that's what this is, a request. | 01:27:31 | |
| And then we go from here. | 01:27:37 | |
| To request for future agendas. | 01:27:39 | |
| And a lot of the people that I call back from all my phone calls and emails. | 01:27:42 | |
| They were asking me a lot of questions they were asking me. | 01:27:47 | |
| For information. | 01:27:51 | |
| Why? What? | 01:27:53 | |
| How? When? | 01:27:54 | |
| OK, so. | 01:27:56 | |
| When we go on to #7 which is request. | 01:27:59 | |
| Future agenda items. | 01:28:02 | |
| I as chairman of the Board. | 01:28:06 | |
| And I meet with a lot of public. | 01:28:07 | |
| I meet with them every month. | 01:28:09 | |
| To give them as much information as I can. | 01:28:11 | |
| I feel as if some of the people in Pleasant Valley. | 01:28:14 | |
| Have not. | 01:28:17 | |
| Had correct information. There's two sides. | 01:28:18 | |
| To every. | 01:28:21 | |
| Not just one. | 01:28:23 | |
| Without staff there, I feel as if there was a lack of communication. | 01:28:24 | |
| Or information. | 01:28:29 | |
| So what I'm going to request? | 01:28:31 | |
| And the future. | 01:28:33 | |
| Hopefully near future. | 01:28:35 | |
| Is a work session. | 01:28:37 | |
| In a work session, the board, the three of us. | 01:28:39 | |
| Public and staff. | 01:28:43 | |
| Are in a meeting. | 01:28:45 | |
| To communicate. | 01:28:47 | |
| So I'm asking. | 01:28:49 | |
| I. | 01:28:51 | |
| And #7 I'm asking for a future agenda item. | 01:28:52 | |
| With a boy to have a work session. | 01:28:56 | |
| And patient Board of Supervisors office. | 01:29:00 | |
| So veterans can come. | 01:29:04 | |
| Ask questions, they can get information. | 01:29:06 | |
| On what's going on? | 01:29:09 | |
| With the Vet Center, what has gone on? | 01:29:11 | |
| And maybe what the future looks like. | 01:29:14 | |
| They can see what we're doing as a board with the full zoning. It's county wide. | 01:29:16 | |
| It's not just Pleasant Valley. | 01:29:22 | |
| And it hasn't been done in a long time. | 01:29:25 | |
| And so that's my $0.02 worth. | 01:29:29 | |
| For today. | 01:29:32 | |
| So now I will go on. | 01:29:34 | |
| Two item number 7. | 01:29:37 | |
| Request for future agenda items. | 01:29:39 | |
| I have already put up my. | 01:29:43 | |
| Request. | 01:29:45 | |
| Supervisor Klein, do you have any? | 01:29:46 | |
| Future agenda. | 01:29:48 | |
| Items that you would like to. | 01:29:50 | |
| Uh, set up for us to try to get scheduled for a work session? Absolutely. | 01:29:53 | |
| I would like to see a work session come up real soon. | 01:29:59 | |
| And I want that work session to be over the Pleasant Valley Veterans. | 01:30:02 | |
| And I want to hear, I want the discussions to. | 01:30:07 | |
| With the County Attorney. | 01:30:10 | |
| I want the discussions to be over our legislative. | 01:30:12 | |
| Authority. | 01:30:16 | |
| That we got an SB. | 01:30:17 | |
| I think it is 1245. | 01:30:19 | |
| Could be wrong on that number, but anyways there. | 01:30:22 | |
| And I want to talk about. | 01:30:24 | |
| The licensing agreement. | 01:30:26 | |
| The licensing agreement. | 01:30:28 | |
| Definitely has to be there. | 01:30:31 | |
| We have not once had a work session on our licensing agreement. | 01:30:33 | |
| That I believe in Michael's rundown for this executive session is going to be OK. Let's just go for requests for future agendas. | 01:30:38 | |
| That's about questions. I couldn't get on it forever, so we're not going to go. | 01:30:45 | |
| Backwards. Let's just. | 01:30:49 | |
| Go forward with request. | 01:30:50 | |
| For future agenda items. | 01:30:52 | |
| That's what I'm requesting. I want to see that. | 01:30:54 | |
| That licensing agreement is part of it. | 01:30:57 | |
| That's fine. | 01:31:02 | |
| That's what, that's what the staff is. | 01:31:04 | |
| His his writing right now is. | 01:31:07 | |
| Future agenda. | 01:31:10 | |
| I got another one. | 01:31:12 | |
| Go ahead. | 01:31:13 | |
| Zoning. | 01:31:13 | |
| Zoning has never been done in Pleasant Valley. It was attempted twice and shot down, so it never was. | 01:31:15 | |
| Completed. | 01:31:21 | |
| The most recent was 2014. | 01:31:22 | |
| I'd like to have a meeting on that, a work session on that. | 01:31:25 | |
| And we go from there. | 01:31:30 | |
| And I will. | 01:31:32 | |
| Definitely rely on you, Randy. | 01:31:34 | |
| As far as that. | 01:31:36 | |
| And also to be a part of that. | 01:31:38 | |
| Work session. | 01:31:41 | |
| I want to add in there. | 01:31:43 | |
| The permitting process that we're in the middle of. | 01:31:44 | |
| For young Arizona. | 01:31:48 | |
| As far as that goes. | 01:31:50 | |
| I want them both in there and I want them both as a work session and I hope. | 01:31:52 | |
| People. | 01:31:56 | |
| OK. Anything else? | 01:31:59 | |
| No, that's a good start. | 01:32:01 | |
| OK, Supervisor Christensen. | 01:32:02 | |
| Thank you. | 01:32:04 | |
| Chairman I. | 01:32:06 | |
| Don't know if these are these are not new but I'm just going to ask the manager. | 01:32:08 | |
| With concern of the 20 acres are we on? | 01:32:13 | |
| Pass for a discussion there. | 01:32:16 | |
| Yes, Sir. | 01:32:21 | |
| What meaning might that be, Josh? | 01:32:23 | |
| I believe it was supposed to be today but it got bumped to the next meeting. | 01:32:26 | |
| OK. So that's on its way and that's the 20 acres that's in the Payson area that. | 01:32:30 | |
| That we all are interested in wondering what we should do with it. | 01:32:35 | |
| And the other discussion is with regard to. | 01:32:40 | |
| Funding Discovery. | 01:32:44 | |
| Website the marketing. | 01:32:46 | |
| Engineer, chairman, members of the board and Supervisor Christensen that was that was also bumped to the next meeting. | 01:32:50 | |
| We're going to be listening to it today, but whether we had too many items so that we're doing the bump today. Yes, we are. | 01:32:56 | |
| Now last book. | 01:33:02 | |
| Parking lot The parking lot in pacing. | 01:33:03 | |
| And we get that bump today. | 01:33:06 | |
| Yes, Sir, same thing. So they're all on the next board meeting. OK, very good. | 01:33:09 | |
| Thank you. | 01:33:13 | |
| I appreciate that. | 01:33:14 | |
| Well, it's a request for to put them on, so they are on. | 01:33:16 | |
| Yeah, just today. | 01:33:21 | |
| We're kicking them forward. | 01:33:22 | |
| OK, Yes, good. Is there anything else you'd like? I don't think so, I think. | 01:33:24 | |
| Yeah, stood up in my. | 01:33:30 | |
| OK. | 01:33:33 | |
| Is there anything else for future work session? | 01:33:36 | |
| Items. | 01:33:40 | |
| OK, then we're going to go to. | 01:33:44 | |

| Requirements. | 01:34:01 | |
| For the NRCS emergency watershed protection. | 01:34:03 | |
| Project. | 01:34:06 | |
| Matt Venture, good morning. | 01:34:07 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. | 01:34:08 | |
| Any questions before I start? | 01:34:11 | |
| I was just checking to see if there were anything. | 01:34:13 | |
| Any questions before I started Supervisor Kristen would think you might have something OK did. | 01:34:16 | |
| I'm sorry, did you have a question? He he feels as if you had a question. You think you're reading my mind, are you? | 01:34:22 | |
| No, I don't have a question. | 01:34:28 | |
| OK, no, it looks like you you wanted to to begin how that looked. | 01:34:30 | |
| Yeah. OK. But just a brief update with the projects that we have right now as you know the. | 01:34:34 | |
| The NRC's projects have been. | 01:34:40 | |
| Moving since. | 01:34:42 | |
| Probably March when we had our we got the funding approved. They've been working on it since then. | 01:34:43 | |
| The Russell Gulch project is substantially complete. It's at 95%, we say 95%. We went through the Punch that punch list block on | 01:34:49 | |
| Thursday for just a few minor issues to address. Then we have the. | 01:34:54 | |
| The backflow gate. | 01:35:00 | |
| That we were installing on the 30 inch. | 01:35:01 | |
| Pipe that's going across from the county lot into into the the wash. | 01:35:06 | |
| So that's the only thing that we have left on that project. | 01:35:12 | |
| And as you know, we've had. | 01:35:15 | |
| Quite a bit of rain over the last two weeks and all of the projects have performed. | 01:35:17 | |
| Very, very well. With the rain that we've had, we haven't had any major. | 01:35:21 | |
| Any major delays there was. | 01:35:27 | |
| Was no. | 01:35:29 | |
| Significant. | 01:35:31 | |
| Damage to the work that's already been completed, so it's just minor cleanup on. | 01:35:32 | |
| And all four of the are all five of the project sites that we have. | 01:35:35 | |
| Going actively right now, the six shooter Canyon project is approximately 84. | 01:35:39 | |
| Percent complete. The Ice House Canyon project is 85. | 01:35:44 | |
| Percent complete Copper Hills Rd. is 67.5% complete. Hospital wall is moving forward very quickly. It's at 45% complete. All of | 01:35:48 | |
| these projects we're projecting to to complete and to finish well within our 220 day time frame as well as all of the projects are | 01:35:54 | |
| tracking to to be to come in. | 01:36:01 | |
| Under budget for what we have for for the guaranteed maximum price that we received from Tiffany Construction. | 01:36:08 | |
| I'd be happy to answer any questions. Supervisor Klein. | 01:36:14 | |
| Matt, it sounds like we're doing well on our time frames. That would be the only question and that's being consistent through all | 01:36:18 | |
| these updates. That's correct. It's, it's been a great team that we've had with the county, with Jay Fuller and with. | 01:36:23 | |
| Tiffany Construction, we've all worked. | 01:36:29 | |
| Very, very well together as a team to have these projects moving forward. | 01:36:31 | |
| At such an accelerated time frame so. | 01:36:35 | |
| We're grateful for the help and support from all of our partners. | 01:36:38 | |
| Thank you. | 01:36:42 | |
| OK. | 01:36:44 | |
| That's a great question. Thank you. Thank you, Matt, for keeping up on it. | 01:36:44 | |
| I'm really happy that we're ahead of schedule and we're moving forward. Everything's working great. | 01:36:48 | |
| Thanks. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for the update. | 01:36:54 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. | 01:36:58 | |
| OK. | 01:36:59 | |
| OK, now we are going to. | 01:37:02 | |
| Work on executive session items. | 01:37:05 | |
| I do believe that we will. | 01:37:10 | |
| We will. | 01:37:13 | |
| We can go ahead and make a motion to go into executive. | 01:37:14 | |
| Session, but we're probably going to take a little break. | 01:37:18 | |
| Before we go into executive session. | 01:37:21 | |
| So. | 01:37:25 | |
| Um, Joe, what time you think would be? | 01:37:29 | |
| Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, did the scheduling matter in the County Attorney's office? If we can. | 01:37:33 | |
| If the board can convene at. | 01:37:39 | |
| At 11. | 01:37:42 | |
| 11:55 That would. | 01:37:43 | |
| Allowed Uncle Belly to attend the executive session. | 01:37:45 | |
| OK then. | 01:37:51 | |
| What we'll do is we can go ahead and make a motion to go into executive session. | 01:37:53 | |
| But we won't go. | 01:37:59 | |
| In until executive session. | 01:38:01 | |
| And for about another. | 01:38:03 | |
| 20. | 01:38:05 | |
| About another 2025 minutes. | 01:38:06 | |
| And so, Supervisor Klein, you have a question. | 01:38:09 | |
| I do for Joe. | 01:38:12 | |
| Joe, I'm going to throw this out there and I'm going to get out voted, but that's fine. | 01:38:14 | |
| Is there a real reason to go into executive session over the Veterans retreat? | 01:38:20 | |
| Isn't that discussion we can have out here in public? | 01:38:24 | |
| Mr. Chairman. | 01:38:30 | |
| That that decision to ask for the executive session was made above. | 01:38:32 | |
| My level and I don't know exactly. | 01:38:38 | |
| What the basis is, but it is. | 01:38:40 | |
| Provide legal advice to the Board of Supervisors. | 01:38:42 | |
| Regarding. | 01:38:45 | |
| The veterans retreat. | 01:38:46 | |
| As well as the licensing agreement. | 01:38:49 | |
| With outside counsel. | 01:38:51 | |
| Has prepared. | 01:38:54 | |
| OK, Yeah, we have, we have two items. | 01:38:58 | |
| Yeah, we can. We can go in executive session for both items, correct? | 01:39:02 | |
| OK, so. | 01:39:06 | |
| We're definitely going to go into executive session and the fact that. | 01:39:07 | |
| It was set by an accounting attorney, I would imagine, on the Pleasant Valley. | 01:39:11 | |
| I will probably go into executive session on that as well, but you can vote not going through executive session. | 01:39:17 | |
| If you want to. | 01:39:24 | |
| Executive session items information discussion action to enter into executive session pursuant to. | 01:39:25 | |

| With the board's attor. | 01:40:18 | |
| Regarding the Pleasant Valley veteran. | 01:40:20 | |
| Retreat. And that will be Michael Driscoll so. | 01:40:22 | |
| I'll ask for a motion to go into executive session. | 01:40:27 | |
| Miss, Mr. Chair. | 01:40:30 | |
| I would like to see us vote on each one separately. | 01:40:32 | |
| OK then I have read both of them. | 01:40:39 | |
| If I. | 01:40:43 | |
| Call for a motion to go into executive session. | 01:40:44 | |
| 9A. | 01:40:48 | |
| Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion. | 01:40:52 | |
| To enter into executive session with regards. | 01:40:55 | |

| The potential acquisition of a right of way for Adams Lane. | 01:41:07 | |
| And I'll second that. | 01:41:12 | |
| I had a motion and 2nd all in favor say aye. | 01:41:13 | |
| Aye, aye. | 01:41:15 | |
| I I will call for a motion on item. | 01:41:18 | |
| Executive Session 9B. | 01:41:21 | |
| Supervisor Christian. Okay, Mr. Chair. | 01:41:28 | |
| Upon recommendation from the County Attorney's office, I will move to enter into executive session to address item. | 01:41:32 | |
| #9 being pursuant the same statute. | 01:41:39 | |
| For discussion and consultation. | 01:41:42 | |
| If the board's attorney is regarding the PBVR. | 01:41:45 | |
| I'll second. | 01:41:51 | |
| Have a motion and a second. | 01:41:53 | |

| All in favor say aye. | 01:41:58 | |
| I I. | 01:42:00 | |
| Against say nay. | 01:42:03 | |

| Item 9A was unanimous to go into executive session. | 01:42:07 | |
| 9B. | 01:42:12 | |
| Supervisor Christian and Supervisor Humphrey agree. | 01:42:14 | |
| Supervisor Klein. | 01:42:17 | |
| Disagree. | 01:42:19 | |
| And so. | 01:42:21 | |
| I will now. | 01:42:25 | |
| Take a break and go to executive session in about 20 minutes. | 01:42:28 | |
| So take a break, we'll see you. | 01:42:33 | |
| Public I apologize for the delay with the. | 01:42:36 | |
| Attorney. | 01:42:39 | |
| The weight, but. | 01:42:40 | |
| We have to. | 01:42:43 | |
| We have to wait for them to get into executive session, so it'll be about. | 01:42:46 | |
| 20 minutes before we go into executive session. | 01:42:50 | |
| Okay, every, everybody's back. | 01:43:02 | |
| You are united, ready. | 01:43:07 | |
| OK, we're good. So. | 01:43:09 | |
