For the replacement of cesspools along the. 00:11:08
Aired Pinal Creek Waterway. Good Morning Jake. 00:11:11
Well, good morning, Mr. Chairman, Supervisors. 00:11:15
I'm happy to be here today. I'm. 00:11:19
Honored and. 00:11:21
And. 00:11:22
Very grateful. 00:11:24
This project. 00:11:25
Even though it came up recently, it's been in the works a long time. 00:11:28
And started. 00:11:31
There's been many. 00:11:33
Gila County departments involved in. 00:11:35
Generating information. 00:11:38
That would lead us. 00:11:40
To this point. 00:11:41
That would include the assessor's office and community development and. 00:11:43
Health Department emergency services. 00:11:47
And community services so. 00:11:50
Been a lot of people involved, have been a lot of organizations. 00:11:52
That we normally deal with. 00:11:56
CAG is one of those primarily CAG environmental committee. 00:11:58
Took up a project in. 00:12:03
2018. 00:12:05
And I'll move back up and say we started our work here. 00:12:07
Probably around. 00:12:10
2012. 00:12:12
So we've been at this. 00:12:13
12/13/14 years now. 00:12:15
Gathering information that would provide the background. 00:12:17
For what we're about to. 00:12:21
Embark upon. 00:12:23
So. 00:12:24
As I said, I'm really tickled to. 00:12:26
Have lived long enough to see this. 00:12:28
Say so I'd say that. I want to also mention that. 00:12:30
On the way to this. 00:12:37
Do this event. 00:12:38
There were two people in the Christopher Creek area A. 00:12:40
A person who did inspections for home transfers. 00:12:43
As well as a realtor who took it upon themselves who decided. 00:12:48
That they wanted to clean up. 00:12:52
The waters of Christopher Creek based on a seminar. 00:12:54
They had done through the University of Arizona called. 00:12:57
Wastewater, Wastewater. 00:13:00
Stewards, that's the watershed store. Excuse me. 00:13:02
And so they. 00:13:05
They over a few years. 00:13:07
Through as they worked on people who. 00:13:09
We're doing home transfers actually. 00:13:12
Talked about replacing cesspools and old septic systems. 00:13:15
And. 00:13:20
Over time. 00:13:22
That what happened was. 00:13:24
Christopher Creek became delisted. 00:13:27
For nitrogen pollution. 00:13:30
Which was that's an amazing thing. 00:13:33
So that kind of led us to then. 00:13:36
A longer look at or more detailed look at. 00:13:40
What was the situation of? 00:13:44
On site systems. 00:13:47
In Gila County. 00:13:48
And we're a unique place that, you know, in that we don't have much public land. 00:13:49
And we're also we have. 00:13:54
An aged aged infrastructure both in wastewater as well as. 00:13:57
In homes and so. 00:14:02
We have a high concentration of. 00:14:03
I'll say old things. 00:14:07
An old septic system. 00:14:08
And so we're a perfect place to study because we're not. 00:14:10
Bothered by? 00:14:14
To grow that, that covers up. 00:14:15
What the old infrastructure looks like so. 00:14:18
We're a perfect place to have done this and. 00:14:21
So that study. 00:14:23
You know keg picked up that ball. 00:14:25
There was a punishing effort done earlier. 00:14:27
Keg picked up the ball, helped us isolate and isolate but. 00:14:30
Rather identify. 00:14:34
All the homes in Gila County that we could. 00:14:35
Raised on the age of the Septics and the age of. 00:14:38
Building of the homes. 00:14:41
So from that. 00:14:43
The law came a lady by the name of. 00:14:46
Manny took the job as the. 00:14:50
Community liaison for the Apache, Navajo and Gila counties. 00:14:53
And she came one day and asked what had gone on with respect to Gila County. 00:14:58
And and septics and so. 00:15:02
She got all of this information that had been gathered. 00:15:05
And as Manny does, she ran with it. 00:15:09
She took it to back to ADQ. 00:15:13
ADQ started poking into cesspools. They discovered that. 00:15:16
Gosh, there's lots of them around and in the documentation. 00:15:21
That came to you. They say there's between. 00:15:24
I've forgotten the number up to. 00:15:27
35 to 65,000. 00:15:28
I think there's more like 94,000. 00:15:32
In the stage. 00:15:34
In Gila County. 00:15:37
I think we have roughly and back in 2014 when I looked at it. 00:15:39
I think we have about had at that time about 5500 cesspools. 00:15:43
Outside of what's in? 00:15:48
In the Tri-City Sanitary District. 00:15:50
And if I looked at the pollution. 00:15:53
That goes into the ground from those. 00:15:56
Those systems, those cesspools. 00:16:00
It is a little over 1,000,000. 00:16:03
Pounds a year. 00:16:07
Of biologic oxygen demand. 00:16:08
Bad stuff. 00:16:11
Poop in the ground. 00:16:12
That has to be dealt with and that ends up someplace. 00:16:13
It doesn't get digested in the ground, it doesn't get filtered out. 00:16:16
It's end up someplace. 00:16:19
And somebody's going to get to deal with it and. 00:16:21
In our county, that's probably us. 00:16:24
So. 00:16:26
Or our citizens so. 00:16:27
That's the magnitude of the. 00:16:29
Problem that we're starting to deal with today. 00:16:30
And then the old septic system we talked about, we've got another. 00:16:33
Almost 1700 of those. 00:16:36
And those add about 1/4 of £1,000,000. 00:16:39
So it's improved a lot. 00:16:42
By today if you looked at today's. 00:16:44
Rules and us in the. 00:16:47
Systems that comply with today's rules. 00:16:49
The answer would be, in my opinion, 0. 00:16:51
So we have a large. 00:16:54
Issue that. 00:16:57
We as a group, I would like to see I think we need to address our. 00:16:59
On in behalf of our citizens. 00:17:03
So all of this talk leads us to last September. 00:17:05
When in Christopher Creek we had a. 00:17:12
Meeting up. 00:17:15
We were honored. 00:17:17
By the EPA. 00:17:18
Wehela County were honored by the EPA. 00:17:19
And so was ADQ along with WIFA. 00:17:22
And coming with or for coming up with a financing project? 00:17:25
That would allow counties to replace. 00:17:30
Cesspools and aging systems. 00:17:33
And EPA. 00:17:35
Actually, what Manny did through the APA got the EPA. 00:17:37
Region United Administrator Martha Guzman. 00:17:41
You actually come and give a. 00:17:44
A nice present, nice talk to all of us in. 00:17:46
Acknowledge exactly what we had done. 00:17:49
And so. 00:17:51
The purpose of that meeting was to thank all of the various parties that have been involved. 00:17:56
And all the people that have been involved. And so that got done. 00:18:00
Now. 00:18:03
That brings us to today. 00:18:05
So what happened after that meeting? 00:18:07
Was. 00:18:10
The attorney started to look at actually what could be happen. 00:18:12
With the agreements that WIFA had come up with and. 00:18:15
Could the county accept those agreements? 00:18:18
And they went back and forth till the 1st of this year. 00:18:21
And discovered that. 00:18:24
Counties. Well, all but. 00:18:26
Pima County. 00:18:30
Cannot borrow with. 00:18:31
For projects like this. 00:18:33
And so. 00:18:36
All of the things that we had. 00:18:37
Talked about and brought forward. 00:18:39
In Christopher Creek. 00:18:41
Went down the tooth. 00:18:43
Because there's no money. 00:18:44
And somewhere along the first of the year. 00:18:46
Of the Governor Hobbs. 00:18:51
Came up with a little bit of money. 00:18:54
Half, $1,000,000 or so. 00:18:56
And gave that to. 00:18:58
ADQ for. 00:19:00
Remediation of waterways. 00:19:02
In that to correct the public health associated with the waterways. 00:19:05
And at this point in time, I'm going to let Manny talk for just a minute. 00:19:10
Because Manny was instrumental in. 00:19:15
Taking those funds that came to ADQ. 00:19:18
Going to bat on our behalf, I'll say. 00:19:22
To. 00:19:25
Get to us where we are today. 00:19:27
So with that Manny, Manny is now that. 00:19:29
She's gone on, she's moved on. She's now the delegation coordinator for. 00:19:32
ADQ response. 00:19:36
Thank you, Jake. I'm Annie. Good morning. 00:19:37
You all know me, I'm Annie Bowler. 00:19:42
I'm with ADEFU on the delegation agreement liaison. 00:19:44
Water took me in January and said you're no longer community liaison. We need you over in Groundwater helping. 00:19:48
The septic issues. So here I am. 00:19:54
I'm honored to be here today. 00:19:56
It's been a privilege to work with. 00:19:58
Healer County over the last four years to. 00:20:00
Address. 00:20:03
This topic and to build on the septic inventory that you all created, I believe there's no such thing as luck. 00:20:04
I believe that. 00:20:11
Galey County was prepared. 00:20:12
When this opportunity of money presented itself and here we are today. 00:20:14
And you, as you all know, big society issues. 00:20:19
I like onions. 00:20:23
Have many layers and so you're peeling back on and on. 00:20:24
So we're just taking layer by layer and addressing the Saskpoo issue. 00:20:27
ADQ has made onsite, which is another term for septics. 00:20:32
Of priority. 00:20:37
And over the next 5 or 6 years, there's going to be. 00:20:39
Lots of things happening. 00:20:41
And this is a pivotal moment in all of that. 00:20:43
Behind the scenes AVQ is working on. 00:20:47
Trying to create a methodology. 00:20:51
Heal the County went ahead and. 00:20:53
Had had helped with an inventory. 00:20:55
Other counties still have records in the basement. 00:20:58
They aren't organized. They don't have a digitized. 00:21:00
So ad he's trying to figure out is there a way that we can create a methodology? 00:21:03
So that other counties can do what Gila County did. 00:21:07
So that we can create a statewide inventory. 00:21:10
So that we have a way. 00:21:13
To tell a better story. 00:21:15
Right. What is? 00:21:17
What is? 00:21:18
The impact of septics and or cesspools. 00:21:19
On our groundwater. 00:21:22
And as people move farther and farther out from the metro areas that are moving into rural areas, they're putting in septic 00:21:24
systems or they're buying old homes and improving the homes. 00:21:29
The subjects. So we need to kind of have an awareness of what that inventory looks like. 00:21:34
So that we can also tell the legislature. 00:21:39
We need a program to potentially address these issues. 00:21:42
Hence this little project. 00:21:45
We're grateful that the governor gave us a half, $1,000,000. 00:21:47
To pilot this. 00:21:50
And because Healy County was prepared. 00:21:53
We're here today. 00:21:56
Had notes because I get nervous. 00:22:02
This project will hopefully also demonstrate the needs as Jake mentioned is WIFA created this lovely fund. 00:22:09
Nimble was very nimble in creating a. 00:22:17
New funding product. 00:22:20
That can help address emerging issues. 00:22:22
And then we found out that. 00:22:24
The funding wasn't available to counties. 00:22:27
And so we're hoping that. 00:22:31
By demonstrating the need. 00:22:33
Through this project that. 00:22:36
The Legislature will address that funding mechanism and make it. 00:22:38
Available so that other counties can do this as well. 00:22:42
And ADQ appreciates the strong working relationship that we have with Gila County. 00:22:45
And we look forward to continuing that. 00:22:50
With this project and others. 00:22:52
As we protect waterways. 00:22:54
And Gila County is. 00:22:56
In all the watersheds. 00:22:58
So waterways in Healing County are incredibly important. 00:23:00
And so is the public health. 00:23:03
Do you have anything else, Jake? 00:23:06
Well, yes. 00:23:07
Of course. 00:23:10
Not off when I get to. 00:23:11
So what I wanted to say is this the? 00:23:12
We have a big job ahead of us and. 00:23:15
One of the things that is crucial to this happening. 00:23:19
To us dealing with the problem that we have. 00:23:23
Is for the law to change. 00:23:26
And I'm hoping. 00:23:29
That the counties. All of us counties. 00:23:31
Get together, Pima, by the way, said. 00:23:34
They're they're going to take some of this. 00:23:37
The money that WIFA has. 00:23:39
And they they couldn't understand why the rest of us couldn't have. 00:23:41
And it's because of laws that were put in place. 00:23:45
Many, many years ago that. 00:23:48
Any count is below a certain population or above a certain. 00:23:51
Population couldn't borrow money from with us. 00:23:54
That simple. 00:23:57
And those laws need to change, and I'm hoping that. 00:23:58
The counties all together can come together and. 00:24:01
And find a way to actually get that laws changed. 00:24:04
In the next session. 00:24:08
So that we can then. 00:24:09
We and all the other counties can step into line and start. 00:24:11
Cleaning up the cesspools and old systems. 00:24:15
Throughout state of Arizona so. 00:24:17
And I'd appreciate your help in. 00:24:21
In working on that from from my. 00:24:23
My plea to you would be. 00:24:26
Please step in and help us out here. 00:24:28
And I want to also say this that I want to remind again. 00:24:31
That these funds that are coming. 00:24:36
Because therefore a. 00:24:39
The clean up aid. 00:24:42
Public water. 00:24:44
Waterway of the United States. 00:24:46
To clean that up from human. 00:24:47
Pollution, uh. 00:24:49
That the funds that those projects that are selected. 00:24:50
The monies will go to them tax free. 00:24:54
There will be no tax implications. 00:24:58
To this SO. 00:25:00
It's a It's a good. This is. 00:25:02
Really gracious. 00:25:06
That is being brought forward for us to consider to predict in the future. 00:25:09
So with that, I'll take any questions if you have any. 00:25:13
Thank you, Jake. 00:25:16
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:17
Well, I've got questions and comments. Umm. 00:25:20
Anyway, you've said multiple times. 00:25:23
Borrow money from WIFA. 00:25:26
Yes. So this is a loan. 00:25:27
Yes, it is to be paid back. 00:25:30
How Here's. 00:25:32
Well, let me just share. 00:25:35
So the original loan when EPA came down was going to be 100% forgivable loan program because we can't do that. 00:25:37
Many and 80 who are working with I believe it's. 00:25:45
ARPA funding that's expiring, so this one is not alone. 00:25:48
This is literally just 500,000. There's many honest wastewater systems as we can fit. 00:25:51
And then there were there's no repayments or anything on. 00:25:56
The funny is just a way to improve that water. 00:25:59
OK. Yeah, good. Thank you. Yeah, because you mentioned it a couple times. So I just, I just wanted to clear that up. 00:26:02
I think in the future that it is. 00:26:08
And and also. 00:26:11
For the people that are out there the the Pinal Creek Waterway is a wheat fields area. 00:26:14
Correct, this is not. 00:26:18
A county wide deal. This is a particular watershed that's pretty much in the wheat fields area. 00:26:20
So if you live other than that. 00:26:26
Right now. 00:26:29
We can't help you. 00:26:30
It's it's for the wheat fields area selected this waterway. Yes. And it wasn't us that that did it. It was a DEQ that selected the 00:26:32
waterway. 00:26:36
For this funding to be spent. 00:26:42
And part of the reason for that is the intention is, is hopefully we can show that by doing a project like this, we're going to 00:26:44
see some improvement in that waterway. 00:26:48
That would help a future problem. 00:26:52
Oh yeah, no, we want to make sure we're specifically targeting a small area. 00:26:54
Right. And and so, yeah, so anyway, I I also wanted to get that out there, so. 00:26:57
I don't we don't get a lot of calls and say. 00:27:02
Hey, you know before that. 00:27:04
500,000 runs out, you know. Will you take care of mine? 00:27:06
But because that that's only a particular area in a watershed. 00:27:10
At this point in time, but. 00:27:13
But we're hoping for progress. 00:27:15
Yes, and and so anyway. 00:27:17
You know, I want to thank everybody for all their interest in Hila County and. 00:27:19
Helping us with our wastewater. 00:27:23
Situations and I think the reason. 00:27:26
A lot of Hulu County was prepared for some of this information needed. 00:27:28
It's because of all the work with with Tri-City Sanitation project. 00:27:33
Who has done an awful lot of work and spent a lot of money? 00:27:37
In collecting that information. 00:27:40
So that we could be more ready. 00:27:43
To go forward and not. 00:27:46
Continue to pollute our water sources. 00:27:49
And and to help. 00:27:52
With our infrastructure. 00:27:53
And so I thank you all for helping. 00:27:55
That project as well as this project, because they're all kind of lumped into one so. 00:27:57
I I just, I can't say enough about. 00:28:04
How much I appreciate all the work that's being done. 00:28:07
For cleaning up the cesspools and for helping. 00:28:10
Tri-City, go forward. 00:28:14
With their project for. 00:28:15
For infrastructure and and to also help. 00:28:17
This waterway so. 00:28:20
Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:28:22
Thank you, Professor Klein. 00:28:23
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:28:27
Jake, you guys, thank you, Manny. 00:28:28
Thank you, really appreciate it. 00:28:30
Yeah, Jake, I would have one. 00:28:31
Question. 00:28:33
You know when we're talking about these waterways like. 00:28:35
Now Creek and right there and wheat fields area. 00:28:38
So much of that area is in floodplain. 00:28:41
So when we. 00:28:44
Tie in there to to fix some of these cesspools and things like that. 00:28:44
Are they going to have to be the more advanced systems like your aerobic systems instead of your? 00:28:49
Conventional systems. 00:28:54
The answer is yes. 00:28:56
Yeah, and. 00:29:00
When you say they the. 00:29:01
The uh. 00:29:03
Funds will have to. 00:29:04
In order to utilize the funds on those properties. 00:29:06
You'll have to have a. 00:29:09
System that meets the criteria. 00:29:10
That look. 00:29:13
Floodplain ordinance of Gila County. 00:29:14
Spells out. 00:29:16
4 Septic systems in the floodway. 00:29:18
Yeah, OK. 00:29:20
So that is floodway. 00:29:22
So yes, it's. 00:29:23
That it's a double whammy in there. 00:29:25
Right. 00:29:28
But still we should get. 00:29:29
Quite a few of them done so. 00:29:31
We're going to get quite a few of them done, would get. 00:29:32
Quite a few more if it wasn't a floodway. 00:29:35
Yeah, right. 00:29:38
That's that's the way life goes, you know. 00:29:39
Thank you, Jake. 00:29:42
Thanks for all your work. 00:29:43
Thank you again man. 00:29:44
You bet. 00:29:46
Yeah. Thank you. 00:29:47
Jake and Manny. 00:29:49
For taking such a deep dive into this. 00:29:50
It takes a lot of courage to dive in deep on this one. 00:29:53
We'll look at it this way. 00:29:59
There's Yeah, Dive in Deep is exactly right. 00:30:00
Takes a lot of courage and not many people even think about. 00:30:03
Yeah. 00:30:06
Well, what's funny is they've been outlawed for so long, yet we're still dealing with them. So only since 1976. 00:30:08
Yeah, yeah. 00:30:14
It's not that long, right? 00:30:15
Anyway, thank you. Thank you for all of that. Let me say one other thing. 00:30:18
Sure. 00:30:22
And you? 00:30:24
So here's the deal when I was a kid. 00:30:26
I have kind of put in perspective. 00:30:29
What this means? 00:30:31
So I grew up in Wheatland, WY. 00:30:33
And it was a, well, it's a little town. It was 300 people. 00:30:35
Time. 00:30:40
And if you want to use the telephone, you pick it up and. 00:30:41
And the operator would say number please. 00:30:45
And so you'd say your number and my home number was 587. 00:30:49
My dad had a grocery store and it was 7. 00:30:53
7070. 00:30:55
And the lumber number was lumber #9. 00:30:57
So you just say those things and there were party lines and it was all kinds of fun. 00:31:01
So along came technology and. 00:31:06
You know, you get dial phones pretty soon and then. 00:31:09
You started to get touch tone phones, but our town. 00:31:12
Went straight from. 00:31:15
Number please. 00:31:18
To touch tone. 00:31:19
Now, the significance of what we're doing today. 00:31:22
Is exactly that. 00:31:25
We're going from cesspools. 00:31:27
Who create huge, huge amounts of. 00:31:30
Of pollution. 00:31:33
And old septics that do the same. 00:31:34
Two, no pollution. 00:31:37
From way from the beginning. 00:31:41
To no pollution. 00:31:44
And so. 00:31:46
I you know that that struck me as a. 00:31:47
A change that maybe you all. 00:31:51
Could relate to. 00:31:53
Because I can tell you that when. 00:31:54
The guys I went to college who went to Cleveland. 00:31:56
You know, they just got a big kick out of picking up the phone and. 00:31:59
And hearing number please. 00:32:02
So I want you to remember, as we think about cesspools, that. 00:32:04
Will no longer have to have the operator ask the school we want to call. 00:32:09
And then have the opportunity. Well, they're not. 00:32:12
You could call such and such because they're over there. 00:32:15
All right. 00:32:18
Thank you for everything. 00:32:20
OK, thank you for that. And so with that I'll. 00:32:21
Yes, yes, Sir. 00:32:24
I just want to say hats off to the team, hats off to Joe Algo. With this being a pilot program for the state of Arizona, it did 00:32:25
take a lot of work. 00:32:29
On behalf of. 00:32:34
Hula County. 00:32:35
Joe Abel did want to hit a point home. 00:32:36
Jake did mention the fact that this is non taxable to the property owners. 00:32:39
But I did want to go ahead and read a recital out of. 00:32:44
The resolution. 00:32:48
To further the Board's public purpose, it is the intent of this resolution that participating private property owners. 00:32:50
Shall not be subject to the negative federal income tax consequences because of their participation. 00:32:56
In this cost sharing program established solely for. 00:33:02
Conserving soil and water resources or protecting and restoring the environment. 00:33:05
That basically means that. 00:33:11
You know, because they're hooking up to the system, their property value will increase. 00:33:13
They are not going to be subject to a tax increase. 00:33:17
Thank you. 00:33:21
OK. Thank you. 00:33:22
So if there's nothing else, I'll call for a motion. 00:33:23
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #25 dash. 00:33:26
07-01. 00:33:31
Mr. Chair, I will. 00:33:34
OK, motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:33:35
I thank you guys. 00:33:39
You got it. 00:33:41
All right, item 4B is my item. It's information discussion action. 00:33:42
The proven economic development agreement. 00:33:46
And that's the number 2026. 00:33:49
0000004. 00:33:51
OK between Hewitt County and the Payson Book Festival and the amount of $1000 to support the 10th annual. 00:33:57
Hasten Book Festival, which the Board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:34:02
With us today, we have Connie Cockrell. She's part of that organization. The book festival is something I have supported through 00:34:06
my constituent funds. 00:34:10
For the last few years. And so this is what that is. 00:34:14
Honey, can you tell us briefly? 00:34:18
What? What the book fair? 00:34:21
The book festival is. 00:34:24
And how it impacts? 00:34:26
In a positive way. 00:34:28
Certainly. Thank you. 00:34:31
What happened to today? 00:34:32
The flexible. 00:34:34
We started playing the book festival in 2014. 00:34:37
And supervisor Tom Martin. 00:34:41
Back in the day, of course. 00:34:44
Joining us in helping us. 00:34:47
In depth that people planned and off the ground with. 00:34:48
This baby grant. 00:34:52
So you had to skip the year, of course for COVID, but. 00:34:53
Then we pick it right back up in 2021, so. 00:34:58
Basically what we're trying to do is. 00:35:02
The support authors. 00:35:06
Local authors. 00:35:09
Arizona Office. 00:35:10
And to support our. 00:35:11
Education. 00:35:14
In the area through. 00:35:16
On reading for kids. 00:35:18
The literacy rate in. 00:35:21
And literature comprehension rate in New York County is pretty well. 00:35:23
And actually pretty low all the costs in the phone myself. 00:35:28
These kind of work platform. 00:35:32
Where we have the authors actually in the rooms on their books. 00:35:33
Talking to people who bring their children in or adults who. 00:35:37
Really had a particular kind of book that actually read. 00:35:42
That interaction with the author? Really. 00:35:47
Gets people excited about. 00:35:50
Region and of course. 00:35:52
A. 00:35:55
Food Electric. 00:35:57
It was illiterate and understands what's happening in meetings like this. 00:35:59
We need to encourage the. 00:36:03
So that's what we're doing. 00:36:07
OK. Thank you. SO. 00:36:09
Let's see, Supervisor Humphrey, you have any? I have no question. 00:36:11
Supervisor Klein. 00:36:14
No, thank you. 00:36:15
Well, good. All right. Thank you for coming, Connie. I appreciate it. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to 00:36:16
approve economic development. 00:36:20
Agreement number 202-6000. 00:36:24
00004. 00:36:27
Between Hila County and Payson Book Festival as presented. 00:36:30
And and which the board has. 00:36:35
Determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:36:38
And I'll second that Mr. Chair will show you the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:36:41
Aye, thank you and. 00:36:46
All right, let's move on. 00:36:49
Foresee information, discussion action. 00:36:50
To authorize the Treasurer's office to abate the taxes, interest and fees. 00:36:53
On 118 properties and authorized the Chairman signature on each of the related certificates of clearance. 00:36:57
For removal of uncollected personal. 00:37:04
Property. Good morning, Monica. Good morning, Mr. Chair, board members. 00:37:07
So I'm here this morning to request. 00:37:13
And abate 180. 00:37:16
Certificates of Clearance for removal and uncollected personal property. 00:37:19
So the background is the Hill County treasure. 00:37:24
Has 118 certificate of clearance for uncollectible taxes, which are mobile homes. 00:37:27
And these are no longer. 00:37:34
In the Gila County area. 00:37:36
They have been certified by the Gila County Assessors Office. 00:37:37
And they are no longer on the tax row at such they need to be abated. 00:37:41
The evaluation are based on the Arizona Revised Statute 42-1. 00:37:46
9157 Collection. 00:37:52
Of delinquent Texas. 00:37:55
Arizona Revised Statute 42-18351 Circumstances of abating. 00:37:57
Tax and removal of tax lien. 00:38:03
Each of these 118 properties. 00:38:06
Has a detailed history and documentation. 00:38:09
As to the reasons for the abatement, which is also attached to the agenda items. 00:38:12
The conclusion? 00:38:18
It is in the best interest of Gila County to abate these taxes and have them removed from the tax rolls. 00:38:20
The recommendation? 00:38:27
Is for the Hill County Treasurer Recommends the Board of Supervisors to approve. 00:38:30
The 118 certificates of clearance in accordance to the Arizona Revised Stack. 00:38:35
Thank you, Monica. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:38:43
Yeah, so. 00:38:45
In the state of Arizona like. 00:38:48
If you own a piece property, you're paying taxes on that property. 00:38:49
And have you buy a? 00:38:53
A mobile home and put it on that property, then you're paying taxes on the mobile home. 00:38:54
And the property, but they're separate. 00:38:58
That correct? 00:39:00
Yes. 00:39:02
What would it take that if you're putting a mobile home on a property to somehow be able to combine? 00:39:03
That is that a. 00:39:09
US Would that be a state law that needs to be passed? 00:39:11
To combine it, that is done by the assessor's office and you can do most of these mobile homes are in a park. 00:39:15
Oh, OK. 00:39:22
OK, so they were paying taxes but not on private property? 00:39:24
We're in a park. 00:39:28
Correct on the RV park. 00:39:29
Or like Santiago or a mobile Home Park. 00:39:31
OK, so to God. 00:39:34
Combined them, that would have to be an owners choice. 00:39:35
Correct. 00:39:39
OK, because also too there's been. 00:39:39
Taxes that were owed on a. 00:39:42
Mobile phone. 00:39:44
But they couldn't. 00:39:46
Go collect the mobile home because it was on private property. 00:39:47
And you can't go on private property these are either, you know, they put them on a hitch and they're. 00:39:51
Out of the state or they've been demolished. Yeah, that's what you said. Those. 00:39:57
You know those you have record up. 00:40:01
But there's some that's not. 00:40:03
Being paid taxes on. 00:40:04
Probably not on this list. 00:40:06
But there's you can't. 00:40:08
You can't go get it or anything because it is on private property to which they are. 00:40:09
Paying taxes on. 00:40:13
So that creates a problem as well and I was just wondering. 00:40:15
There wouldn't be a way in the future. 00:40:19
Try to help. 00:40:21
This problem that you. 00:40:22
What you're dealing with today? 00:40:24
No further questions. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:40:26
Monica, thanks for cleaning it up. 00:40:29
It's good to get those off the rolls and not deal with them. 00:40:31
And that's to help with the with the assessors office. 00:40:35
Yeah. Thank you both. 00:40:38
OK. Thank you, Monica. We're going to vote to abate all 118 properties in one motion. 00:40:40
And I get to sign 118 paper. 00:40:47
That's right. 00:40:51
OK, so with that I will call for a motion. 00:40:53
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the Treasurer's office to abate the taxes. 00:40:56
Interest and fees on 118 properties and authorized the Chairman's signature. 00:41:01
On each of the related certificates of clearance for removal of uncle. 00:41:07
Both personal property. 00:41:12
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:41:14
OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:41:16
Thank you, Monica. We've got another one for you for the information, discussion, action. 00:41:21
Authorized the Treasurer's office to abate. 00:41:25
The taxes, interest and fees on. 00:41:27
This one parcel account number. 00:41:29
R037663. 00:41:31
And authorize the chairman signature on the certificate. 00:41:34
A certificate of clearance for removal of uncollected. 00:41:37
Real property. 00:41:41
Yes, this is an easy one. 00:41:42
So this one is to abate one certificate of clearance of removal for an. 00:41:43
Uncollectible real property. 00:41:48
The background This certificate The Hill County Treasurer has one certificate of clearance for uncollectible taxes for a Rd. 00:41:50
Far so, that was privately owned. 00:41:58
When the tax liability occurred. 00:42:00
And the tax liability occurred before Heal County owned the. 00:42:03
The parcel. 00:42:07
The evaluation this should be sufficient, sufficient evidence. 00:42:09
From the treasurer's office. 00:42:15
For the Board of Supervisors inspection and in accordance with the ARS 42-18. 00:42:16
3. 00:42:24
51 and ARS 42 dash. 00:42:25
18352. 00:42:28
Declaring the real property now this is real property, not mobile home. 00:42:30
Listed here in uncollectible. 00:42:34
Conclusion. It is in the best interest. 00:42:37
Of healing county to abate these taxes and remove. 00:42:40
Them from the. 00:42:44
Recommendation The Hill County Treasurer recommends a Board of Supervisors to approve this one. 00:42:46
Certificate of clearance in the quarter in accordance with the Arizona Revised Statutes. 00:42:52
So this was a road owned by. 00:42:57
Private umm. 00:43:00
At one time and then now the Hill County owns it by. 00:43:01
A quick claim, Dean. 00:43:05
And respect taxes. 00:43:06
OK. Thank you, super. 00:43:08
No questions. 00:43:11
Mr. Klein. Thank you, Monica. 00:43:13
How much back taxes were there approximately? 00:43:15
Taxes $133.34. Interest 100 and 1814. 00:43:21
Sense Miscellaneous fees 100 and. 00:43:26
5 for a total of $356.48 OK. 00:43:28
Thank you. 00:43:34
All right. With that, I'll call for a motion. 00:43:34
Mr. Chair, I move to authorize. 00:43:37
The treasurer's office to abate. 00:43:39
The taxes interest in fees on this one. 00:43:41
Parcel account number. 00:43:45
R037663. 00:43:47
And authorized the Chairman's signature on the certificate of clearance. 00:43:51
Removal and uncollectible real. 00:43:55
Property, Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:43:57
Good. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:44:00
Aye. 00:44:03
Monica, thank you, gentlemen. 00:44:04
Right next, we have 4 E information discussion action to approve organized petition for redemption of. 00:44:07
Exemption waiver from. 00:44:13
Karen and Brennan. 00:44:14
That too she need to have her property tax exemption. 00:44:16
That is being waived by. 00:44:19
There's one revised statute 4211153A. 00:44:21
Redeemed for tax year 2025. 00:44:25
And we have Micah with us. 00:44:28
Good morning, Chairman and supervisors. 00:44:31
The assessor's office is bringing forth a petition for redemption of ways. 00:44:33
Waiver pursuant to ARS 42. 00:44:36
11153. 00:44:39
If a person with a disability who qualifies for an exemption but did not file for the exemption prior to the statutory required 00:44:41
deadline. 00:44:45
Submits a petition. 00:44:49
That person may have the waiver redeemed by the county Board of Supervisors at any regular meeting. 00:44:51
Except that the taxes that were due and payable before the petition was submitted. 00:44:56
May not be refunded or abated. 00:45:00
Mrs. Brandon has been approved for a total. 00:45:03
Disability exemption and qualifies to petition the Board. 00:45:05
For the redemption waiver. 00:45:09
She's petitioning the redemption of the waiver for tax year 2025. 00:45:10
Taxes for 2025 have not yet been assessed, therefore, Mrs. Brandon. 00:45:14
May petition. 00:45:19
For the abatement of her exempted amount. 00:45:20
She inquired last fall or winter about the exemption before the new exemption forms in 2025. Exemption amount. 00:45:23
Had been released from the Arizona Department of Revenue. 00:45:30
She was advised that the new exemption form had not been released and it was either miscommunicated. 00:45:33
Or misunderstood by Mrs. Brannon that the updated form? 00:45:39
Would be available no later than. 00:45:42
The application period of the first Monday in January and March 1st. 00:45:45
If the board grants the redemption of the waiver. 00:45:50
After the exemption is applied, there will still be an existing taxable amount. 00:45:53
For 2025 tax year. 00:45:57
So she will still have a due and payable amount on her tax bill. 00:46:00
Even after the exemption amount. 00:46:03
Is taken out. 00:46:05
We in the assessor's office do not advocate. 00:46:07
For or against? 00:46:10
Any approval of a petition, we leave that decision to the board. 00:46:12
Thank you. 00:46:16
Thank you, Michael. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:46:17
Yeah, I I have no questions it. 00:46:20
Because there's still a. 00:46:24
A tax amount on on the property. 00:46:25
I'm all for helping people that need help in the seniors, it's just. 00:46:28
Not for later down the road to create problems for ourselves so. 00:46:32
Sure. Her assessed amount for 2025 will be 6563. 00:46:36
If you grant the waiver, the exemption amount for 2025 is 4748, so she'll still have an assessed remaining amount of 1815, so she 00:46:41
still will. 00:46:47
Have a taxable amount that will be. 00:46:53
That's quite a large piece of property, isn't it? 00:46:56
For that, for those kind of taxes, that's that's the assessed value. 00:47:00
That's not the taxable amount, that's just the assessed. 00:47:04
Oh, OK. 00:47:07
Thank you. 00:47:08
No further questions. OK. Thank you, supervisor. 00:47:09
Client Micah, I'm good. Thank you. 00:47:11
Yeah, I'm good as well. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:47:14
Mr. Chair, I make the motion to approve. 00:47:18
A petition for redemption of exemption waiver from. 00:47:22
Karen and Brennan as president. 00:47:26
I'll second that. 00:47:29
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:47:30
Aye. Thank you, Michael. Thank you, Sheriff, for coming. 00:47:34
4F information, discussion action. 00:47:38
To prove an IGA contract number Ctr. 00:47:41
076472. 00:47:45
Healthy people, healthy communities. 00:47:48
Between Hulu county and the Department of Health services in the amount of. 00:47:50
$195,076.20. 00:47:54
For the period of July 125. 00:47:58
To June 30, 2026, to continue to. 00:48:00
Provide prevention program services. 00:48:03
In Gila County. 00:48:05
Come on, Josh. 00:48:07
Good morning, Chairman, Members of the board so. 00:48:08
This is actually the third time this five year Healthy People, Healthy Communities contracts come before us. 00:48:10
I'm not trying to save Mr. Driscoll's, actually the one that worked with the state of Arizona when we created this grant back in 00:48:15
2016. 00:48:19
Hey, Michael. 00:48:22
So this runs our chronic disease programs for the county. 00:48:25
Our teen pregnancy prevention programs in the schools. 00:48:28
How are tobacco free? 00:48:31
Programs in the schools. 00:48:33
If you remember, we also have a suicide mortality review. 00:48:35
Board that meets quarterly. 00:48:38
And they go over all the suicides in the county and all the. 00:48:41
Counties do this and we report back to the state to see what the trends are in suicides and what we can do to. 00:48:44
Do a better job of helping to prevent those. 00:48:49
Some of our public health. 00:48:51
Accreditation Fund for staying in line with national objectives for public health. 00:48:53
Commodities funds as well. 00:48:58
The biggest change for this next five year period, which is a really good one from audit and finance perspective, is this is the 00:49:00
last of my grants that used to be a block grant where we just received the money. 00:49:05
And Bill? 00:49:09
Now it's a cost reimbursement grant like all the rest of the grants we have in public health. 00:49:10
I'm told from Aaron and my finance people that they like that much better is to the auditors. 00:49:15
So we'll be a cost reimbursement grant from here moving forward. 00:49:19
And outside of that, no major changes outside I can say with everything going on at the federal and state level. 00:49:23
These are all funds that are mostly put together from. 00:49:28
State tobacco taxes. Lottery funds. 00:49:31
And different kinds of state pool funding. So none of the things that are on this grant. 00:49:34
Or have any or any consequence to what's happening at the federal level. So this is a grant that would be good for the next 5 year 00:49:38
period either way. 00:49:41
OK. Thanks, Josh. Supervisor. 00:49:46
No questions. 00:49:48
Supervisor Klein. 00:49:49
I'm good. Thank you, Josh. 00:49:50
Me as well. So thanks, Josh for that. I'll call for a motion. 00:49:51

Item eight, 151,000 for Buck Grant. 00:59:13
That's a lot of money. That's good. 00:59:18
So you want to pull that off and discuss it and vote on it separately? 00:59:19
You know what? Let's let Josh discuss it. You bet. 00:59:24
OK, so at this time I'm going to take consent Agenda 5A. 00:59:28
And, umm. 00:59:32
Presented as a regular agenda item is. 00:59:34
So we're going to approval of an interview. 00:59:37
Intergovernmental agreement contract #CPR076954. 00:59:40
With the Arizona Department of. 00:59:45
Health services in the amount of 151,000. 00:59:47
$325. 00:59:49
For the period of July, for one. 00:59:51
July 1, 2025. 00:59:54
Through June 3020. 00:59:56
Early. 00:59:58
To continue to provide title. 00:59:59
5 Maternal and child health services block grant services. 01:00:01
And public health. 01:00:05
Improvement for. 01:00:06
Program Services. 01:00:07
So Josh Beck. 01:00:10
Please let us know more about this particular item. 01:00:11
Good morning and Chairman, Board members. 01:00:14
So the maternal child health. 01:00:16
Portion of this was what we were using to cover. 01:00:18
A lot of the oral health. 01:00:21
Stuff that we were doing in the county that we keep presenting to you. 01:00:23
They changed the deliverables for next year and it. 01:00:27
Goes more back to WIC oriented type of. 01:00:29
Services for families with young children. 01:00:34
So we won't be able to do the oral health stuff again. 01:00:36
So I'll be presenting you at some point in time during one of the work sessions about where we're sitting with our old health. 01:00:38
Programs to some of that funding kind of went away. 01:00:43
The other portion of this is our public health infrastructure. 01:00:46
Which pays for. 01:00:50
Products that were before from arrival. 01:00:52
Pull back in system that does all of our workforce development, our workforce trainings. 01:00:54
All the public health accreditation stuff, everything's in one system. It tracks all of our grants and where we're at. 01:00:58
Process with. 01:01:04
Departmental services like. 01:01:05
Our big back end software program that we use for all of our public health stuff. 01:01:07
As a part of this grant. 01:01:11
The reason we put a lot of consent is right now with the budget that just passed the federal budget like 30 minutes ago or 40 01:01:12
minutes ago, it's zeroed out. 01:01:16
The maternal child health and family planning zeroed out in the federal budget. 01:01:20
Both on the Senate side and the House side that have passed. So this is one of those grants that. 01:01:23
We're still hoping we get, but it's zeroed out both the budgets right now. 01:01:27
So thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:01:31
No questions. 01:01:34
So three things zeroed out. 01:01:35
Josh. 01:01:38
But you mean it's it's done? 01:01:39
Yeah. So, so it's it's the. 01:01:41
You know, last year's funding. 01:01:43
Federal was like $34 million for it. Now it's just zero across the board, so. 01:01:45
But the departmental services is still giving us all of the IGA's. 01:01:50
Assuming the best. 01:01:54
So I still have what I think like 12 more ideas here. The next month I'll be presenting. 01:01:55
And what we actually get for the funding, how many stop work orders we get? 01:02:00
Will be a different story. So we have two stock work orders right now. 01:02:04
One was lifted last night, which was our Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant. 01:02:08
And then one this morning, our vaccine for children program, we just received the state. 01:02:12
Notice of award. 01:02:16
So that one was lifted this morning, so. 01:02:17
It's just kind of a. 01:02:19
Daily seeing, wait and see you right now. 01:02:21
OK. Thank you. 01:02:24
Yep. OK, with that, I'll call for a motion on item 5A. 01:02:26
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve. 01:02:29
Agreement contract number Ctr. 07695. 01:02:32
Or, uh. 01:02:37
With the Arizona Department of Health Services in the amount of $151,325. 01:02:38
For the period of July 1st through. 01:02:44
2025 through. 01:02:47
June 30th. 01:02:49
2020. 01:02:50
2030. 01:02:51
I'll second that. 01:02:56
We have a motion and a second to approve Item 5A on the consent agenda item and. 01:02:58
All those in favor. 01:03:03
Say aye. 01:03:04
Aye, aye, thank you. We still have remaining on a consent agenda Item 5. 01:03:06
D through K Supervisor Humphrey to change your mind on any of those no. 01:03:10
OK, Supervisor Klein, I'm good. 01:03:15
Alcohol promotion to approve consent agenda items 5B from K. 01:03:17
Mr. Chair. 01:03:23
I move to approve consent agenda items for B through 4:00. 01:03:24
I'll second that. 01:03:30
You have a, a motion and a second to prove. 01:03:31
Those in favor say aye. 01:03:34
Oh excuse me, does he need to resign? 5B through 5K? 01:03:38
OK, we're good. So I have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 01:03:42
Hi. 01:03:46
All right, call to the public is our next item. 01:03:47
Thank you for your patience. 01:03:51

Mr. Tom Warner lives in Claypool. 01:04:01
And would like to speak about. 01:04:05
Odors from the landfill here. 01:04:08
Just one moment. 01:04:11
Chairman, if you could please read the call to the public. 01:04:13
OK, I'm sorry. 01:04:18
Called to the public is time set aside. 01:04:21
For the public to comment during a scheduled meeting. 01:04:24
Of the Board of Supervisors. 01:04:27
The chairman will conduct it and accept comments from the public. 01:04:28
Right before the summary of current events. 01:04:33
Although, uh. 01:04:35
The board reserves the right to modify the order. 01:04:36
At any time. 01:04:38
We citizens who wish to address the public body need. 01:04:40
Not request permission in advance. 01:04:44
In order for the record to properly reflect the speakers name, address and subject matter. 01:04:47
Please complete the information. 01:04:53
Here. 01:04:55
The board may not discuss items that are not specifically identified on the agenda. 01:04:56
In other words, we may ask you questions, but we're not going to vote. 01:05:02
On any of. 01:05:05
Your comments. 01:05:07
OK, it's not part of our regular agenda. 01:05:08
Therefore, uh. 01:05:10
Pursuant to the. 01:05:12
The revised. 01:05:14
We are able to respond to any. 01:05:18
Criticism. 01:05:20
ETC. Is that enough, Jessica? 01:05:21
Yeah, OK. 01:05:24
All right, so I overdid it. 01:05:30
OK, so. 01:05:34
Mr. Warner. 01:05:36
If you can contain your comments to about 3 minutes, that'd be helpful. 01:05:37
Please tell us what's on your mind. 01:05:41
Well I live on Woodward St. in little acres. 01:05:44
And the aroma from. 01:05:49
Is not good. 01:05:53
When I wake up in the morning, I leave and I still have that order. 01:05:56
In my nasal system. 01:06:00
And. 01:06:02
The neighbor they. 01:06:04
Bring my attention, I bring your attention. 01:06:07
So it's been an ongoing. 01:06:10
You know, and then from my house I can sit there and I can see. 01:06:12
The trucks coming in and dumping the trash and everything and. 01:06:17
I just, I don't know why it couldn't have been built on the other side of that mountain. 01:06:21
Instead of Sedan St. the people are almost right in their backyard. 01:06:26
You know, just. 01:06:30
It's probably too late to do anything but. 01:06:32
I don't know about the. 01:06:35
You know, it's just. 01:06:36
It's not good. 01:06:38
And I don't know what. 01:06:41
What can be done? Hauling more dirt? Covered up or? 01:06:43
You know, and I know you can't move the location. It would take a lot. 01:06:46
But. 01:06:51
It'd be appreciated if something could be done. 01:06:53
OK. Thank you for those comments. So Supervisor Hunter, do you have anything you'd like to? 01:06:57
Well, we can't comment on things that aren't on the agenda. 01:07:01
But we can ask staff to look into it. 01:07:06
And so. 01:07:09
Fairy Links is my assistant if you'd like to give her your number. 01:07:11
Then I can get with the public works director that will get in touch with you. 01:07:14
And so, yeah, that way you're not given your number out. 01:07:18
Publicly, you can give it to Terry. 01:07:21
And then I'll have our public works director. 01:07:23
Reach out to you SO. 01:07:26
Maybe you can explain to you what's been going on at the dump and things. 01:07:28
And so that that's that's about all I can do. 01:07:31
Yeah, 'cause it's just, I mean, I consider my house and I can see. 01:07:34
Trash blowing around and it's it. 01:07:38
OK, it's a. 01:07:41
I don't know. 01:07:43
It's not. I know the neighbors trying to sell their house and people sit there and they go. 01:07:45
Oh, we have to look at that, you know, so. 01:07:50
Anyway, OK. 01:07:53
Thank you. Some people have client. Do you have anything you'd like to? 01:07:54
Just the same as maybe Troy can check all that out. Maybe. 01:07:58
Maybe maybe covering it up in more timely manner if that's the case or whatever it is so. 01:08:01
Thank you. 01:08:06
Thank you SO. 01:08:07
We're gonna we'll look into it, Mr. Warner. 01:08:09

Whether the license should be granted and Charlotte, you're going to present this information. 00:05:10
Good morning, Chairman. 00:05:15
Christian board members, I wanted to start off by expressing my gratitude to Maria for these. 00:05:17
They came it to us kind of a mess and she had to go back and forth to the state and amend these applications 3. 00:05:24
Two to three times. So I really appreciate her hard work on me so. 00:05:30
Thank you, Maria. 00:05:33
So as stated, this is a liquor license application for an owner transfer of a Series 7 beer and wine license at the Old. 00:05:34
County and. 00:05:40
The application has also applied to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control for an interim permit to operate the 00:05:41
business until the liquor. 00:05:45
Issued. 00:05:48
The notice of hearing was posted at the establishment for the 20 days statutory requirement for the Board's process, the liquor 00:05:50
licenses and internal review was conducted by. 00:05:54
The Planning and Zoning Division and the Health Division. 00:05:58
The Treasurer also reviewed the application. 00:06:01
The Planning and Zoning division reported one building violation, however, code enforcement has notified the property owner and 00:06:04
they are working with them. 00:06:07
I did not receive any written. 00:06:12
Objection to this application from any bona fide. 00:06:14
Presidents who reside or own or lease property within a one mile radius of the subject. 00:06:17

2026. 00:11:07
For the replacement of cesspools along the. 00:11:08
Aired Pinal Creek Waterway. Good Morning Jake. 00:11:11
Well, good morning, Mr. Chairman, Supervisors. 00:11:15
I'm happy to be here today. I'm. 00:11:19
Honored and. 00:11:21
And. 00:11:22
Very grateful. 00:11:24
This project. 00:11:25
Even though it came up recently, it's been in the works a long time. 00:11:28
And started. 00:11:31
There's been many. 00:11:33
Gila County departments involved in. 00:11:35
Generating information. 00:11:38
That would lead us. 00:11:40
To this point. 00:11:41
That would include the assessor's office and community development and. 00:11:43
Health Department emergency services. 00:11:47
And community services so. 00:11:50
Been a lot of people involved, have been a lot of organizations. 00:11:52
That we normally deal with. 00:11:56
CAG is one of those primarily CAG environmental committee. 00:11:58
Took up a project in. 00:12:03
2018. 00:12:05
And I'll move back up and say we started our work here. 00:12:07
Probably around. 00:12:10
2012. 00:12:12
So we've been at this. 00:12:13
12/13/14 years now. 00:12:15
Gathering information that would provide the background. 00:12:17
For what we're about to. 00:12:21
Embark upon. 00:12:23
So. 00:12:24
As I said, I'm really tickled to. 00:12:26
Have lived long enough to see this. 00:12:28
Say so I'd say that. I want to also mention that. 00:12:30
On the way to this. 00:12:37
Do this event. 00:12:38
There were two people in the Christopher Creek area A. 00:12:40
A person who did inspections for home transfers. 00:12:43
As well as a realtor who took it upon themselves who decided. 00:12:48
That they wanted to clean up. 00:12:52
The waters of Christopher Creek based on a seminar. 00:12:54
They had done through the University of Arizona called. 00:12:57
Wastewater, Wastewater. 00:13:00
Stewards, that's the watershed store. Excuse me. 00:13:02
And so they. 00:13:05
They over a few years. 00:13:07
Through as they worked on people who. 00:13:09
We're doing home transfers actually. 00:13:12
Talked about replacing cesspools and old septic systems. 00:13:15
And. 00:13:20
Over time. 00:13:22
That what happened was. 00:13:24
Christopher Creek became delisted. 00:13:27
For nitrogen pollution. 00:13:30
Which was that's an amazing thing. 00:13:33
So that kind of led us to then. 00:13:36
A longer look at or more detailed look at. 00:13:40
What was the situation of? 00:13:44
On site systems. 00:13:47
In Gila County. 00:13:48
And we're a unique place that, you know, in that we don't have much public land. 00:13:49
And we're also we have. 00:13:54
An aged aged infrastructure both in wastewater as well as. 00:13:57
In homes and so. 00:14:02
We have a high concentration of. 00:14:03
I'll say old things. 00:14:07
An old septic system. 00:14:08
And so we're a perfect place to study because we're not. 00:14:10
Bothered by? 00:14:14
To grow that, that covers up. 00:14:15
What the old infrastructure looks like so. 00:14:18
We're a perfect place to have done this and. 00:14:21
So that study. 00:14:23
You know keg picked up that ball. 00:14:25
There was a punishing effort done earlier. 00:14:27
Keg picked up the ball, helped us isolate and isolate but. 00:14:30
Rather identify. 00:14:34
All the homes in Gila County that we could. 00:14:35
Raised on the age of the Septics and the age of. 00:14:38
Building of the homes. 00:14:41
So from that. 00:14:43
The law came a lady by the name of. 00:14:46
Manny took the job as the. 00:14:50
Community liaison for the Apache, Navajo and Gila counties. 00:14:53
And she came one day and asked what had gone on with respect to Gila County. 00:14:58
And and septics and so. 00:15:02
She got all of this information that had been gathered. 00:15:05
And as Manny does, she ran with it. 00:15:09
She took it to back to ADQ. 00:15:13
ADQ started poking into cesspools. They discovered that. 00:15:16
Gosh, there's lots of them around and in the documentation. 00:15:21
That came to you. They say there's between. 00:15:24
I've forgotten the number up to. 00:15:27
35 to 65,000. 00:15:28
I think there's more like 94,000. 00:15:32
In the stage. 00:15:34
In Gila County. 00:15:37
I think we have roughly and back in 2014 when I looked at it. 00:15:39
I think we have about had at that time about 5500 cesspools. 00:15:43
Outside of what's in? 00:15:48
In the Tri-City Sanitary District. 00:15:50
And if I looked at the pollution. 00:15:53
That goes into the ground from those. 00:15:56
Those systems, those cesspools. 00:16:00
It is a little over 1,000,000. 00:16:03
Pounds a year. 00:16:07
Of biologic oxygen demand. 00:16:08
Bad stuff. 00:16:11
Poop in the ground. 00:16:12
That has to be dealt with and that ends up someplace. 00:16:13
It doesn't get digested in the ground, it doesn't get filtered out. 00:16:16
It's end up someplace. 00:16:19
And somebody's going to get to deal with it and. 00:16:21
In our county, that's probably us. 00:16:24
So. 00:16:26
Or our citizens so. 00:16:27
That's the magnitude of the. 00:16:29
Problem that we're starting to deal with today. 00:16:30
And then the old septic system we talked about, we've got another. 00:16:33
Almost 1700 of those. 00:16:36
And those add about 1/4 of £1,000,000. 00:16:39
So it's improved a lot. 00:16:42
By today if you looked at today's. 00:16:44
Rules and us in the. 00:16:47
Systems that comply with today's rules. 00:16:49
The answer would be, in my opinion, 0. 00:16:51
So we have a large. 00:16:54
Issue that. 00:16:57
We as a group, I would like to see I think we need to address our. 00:16:59
On in behalf of our citizens. 00:17:03
So all of this talk leads us to last September. 00:17:05
When in Christopher Creek we had a. 00:17:12
Meeting up. 00:17:15
We were honored. 00:17:17
By the EPA. 00:17:18
Wehela County were honored by the EPA. 00:17:19
And so was ADQ along with WIFA. 00:17:22
And coming with or for coming up with a financing project? 00:17:25
That would allow counties to replace. 00:17:30
Cesspools and aging systems. 00:17:33
And EPA. 00:17:35
Actually, what Manny did through the APA got the EPA. 00:17:37
Region United Administrator Martha Guzman. 00:17:41
You actually come and give a. 00:17:44
A nice present, nice talk to all of us in. 00:17:46
Acknowledge exactly what we had done. 00:17:49
And so. 00:17:51
The purpose of that meeting was to thank all of the various parties that have been involved. 00:17:56
And all the people that have been involved. And so that got done. 00:18:00
Now. 00:18:03
That brings us to today. 00:18:05
So what happened after that meeting? 00:18:07
Was. 00:18:10
The attorney started to look at actually what could be happen. 00:18:12
With the agreements that WIFA had come up with and. 00:18:15
Could the county accept those agreements? 00:18:18
And they went back and forth till the 1st of this year. 00:18:21
And discovered that. 00:18:24
Counties. Well, all but. 00:18:26
Pima County. 00:18:30
Cannot borrow with. 00:18:31
For projects like this. 00:18:33
And so. 00:18:36
All of the things that we had. 00:18:37
Talked about and brought forward. 00:18:39
In Christopher Creek. 00:18:41
Went down the tooth. 00:18:43
Because there's no money. 00:18:44
And somewhere along the first of the year. 00:18:46
Of the Governor Hobbs. 00:18:51
Came up with a little bit of money. 00:18:54
Half, $1,000,000 or so. 00:18:56
And gave that to. 00:18:58
ADQ for. 00:19:00
Remediation of waterways. 00:19:02
In that to correct the public health associated with the waterways. 00:19:05
And at this point in time, I'm going to let Manny talk for just a minute. 00:19:10
Because Manny was instrumental in. 00:19:15
Taking those funds that came to ADQ. 00:19:18
Going to bat on our behalf, I'll say. 00:19:22
To. 00:19:25
Get to us where we are today. 00:19:27
So with that Manny, Manny is now that. 00:19:29
She's gone on, she's moved on. She's now the delegation coordinator for. 00:19:32
ADQ response. 00:19:36
Thank you, Jake. I'm Annie. Good morning. 00:19:37
You all know me, I'm Annie Bowler. 00:19:42
I'm with ADEFU on the delegation agreement liaison. 00:19:44
Water took me in January and said you're no longer community liaison. We need you over in Groundwater helping. 00:19:48
The septic issues. So here I am. 00:19:54
I'm honored to be here today. 00:19:56
It's been a privilege to work with. 00:19:58
Healer County over the last four years to. 00:20:00
Address. 00:20:03
This topic and to build on the septic inventory that you all created, I believe there's no such thing as luck. 00:20:04
I believe that. 00:20:11
Galey County was prepared. 00:20:12
When this opportunity of money presented itself and here we are today. 00:20:14
And you, as you all know, big society issues. 00:20:19
I like onions. 00:20:23
Have many layers and so you're peeling back on and on. 00:20:24
So we're just taking layer by layer and addressing the Saskpoo issue. 00:20:27
ADQ has made onsite, which is another term for septics. 00:20:32
Of priority. 00:20:37
And over the next 5 or 6 years, there's going to be. 00:20:39
Lots of things happening. 00:20:41
And this is a pivotal moment in all of that. 00:20:43
Behind the scenes AVQ is working on. 00:20:47
Trying to create a methodology. 00:20:51
Heal the County went ahead and. 00:20:53
Had had helped with an inventory. 00:20:55
Other counties still have records in the basement. 00:20:58
They aren't organized. They don't have a digitized. 00:21:00
So ad he's trying to figure out is there a way that we can create a methodology? 00:21:03
So that other counties can do what Gila County did. 00:21:07
So that we can create a statewide inventory. 00:21:10
So that we have a way. 00:21:13
To tell a better story. 00:21:15
Right. What is? 00:21:17
What is? 00:21:18
The impact of septics and or cesspools. 00:21:19
On our groundwater. 00:21:22
And as people move farther and farther out from the metro areas that are moving into rural areas, they're putting in septic 00:21:24
systems or they're buying old homes and improving the homes. 00:21:29
The subjects. So we need to kind of have an awareness of what that inventory looks like. 00:21:34
So that we can also tell the legislature. 00:21:39
We need a program to potentially address these issues. 00:21:42
Hence this little project. 00:21:45
We're grateful that the governor gave us a half, $1,000,000. 00:21:47
To pilot this. 00:21:50
And because Healy County was prepared. 00:21:53
We're here today. 00:21:56
Had notes because I get nervous. 00:22:02
This project will hopefully also demonstrate the needs as Jake mentioned is WIFA created this lovely fund. 00:22:09
Nimble was very nimble in creating a. 00:22:17
New funding product. 00:22:20
That can help address emerging issues. 00:22:22
And then we found out that. 00:22:24
The funding wasn't available to counties. 00:22:27
And so we're hoping that. 00:22:31
By demonstrating the need. 00:22:33
Through this project that. 00:22:36
The Legislature will address that funding mechanism and make it. 00:22:38
Available so that other counties can do this as well. 00:22:42
And ADQ appreciates the strong working relationship that we have with Gila County. 00:22:45
And we look forward to continuing that. 00:22:50
With this project and others. 00:22:52
As we protect waterways. 00:22:54
And Gila County is. 00:22:56
In all the watersheds. 00:22:58
So waterways in Healing County are incredibly important. 00:23:00
And so is the public health. 00:23:03
Do you have anything else, Jake? 00:23:06
Well, yes. 00:23:07
Of course. 00:23:10
Not off when I get to. 00:23:11
So what I wanted to say is this the? 00:23:12
We have a big job ahead of us and. 00:23:15
One of the things that is crucial to this happening. 00:23:19
To us dealing with the problem that we have. 00:23:23
Is for the law to change. 00:23:26
And I'm hoping. 00:23:29
That the counties. All of us counties. 00:23:31
Get together, Pima, by the way, said. 00:23:34
They're they're going to take some of this. 00:23:37
The money that WIFA has. 00:23:39
And they they couldn't understand why the rest of us couldn't have. 00:23:41
And it's because of laws that were put in place. 00:23:45
Many, many years ago that. 00:23:48
Any count is below a certain population or above a certain. 00:23:51
Population couldn't borrow money from with us. 00:23:54
That simple. 00:23:57
And those laws need to change, and I'm hoping that. 00:23:58
The counties all together can come together and. 00:24:01
And find a way to actually get that laws changed. 00:24:04
In the next session. 00:24:08
So that we can then. 00:24:09
We and all the other counties can step into line and start. 00:24:11
Cleaning up the cesspools and old systems. 00:24:15
Throughout state of Arizona so. 00:24:17
And I'd appreciate your help in. 00:24:21
In working on that from from my. 00:24:23
My plea to you would be. 00:24:26
Please step in and help us out here. 00:24:28
And I want to also say this that I want to remind again. 00:24:31
That these funds that are coming. 00:24:36
Because therefore a. 00:24:39
The clean up aid. 00:24:42
Public water. 00:24:44
Waterway of the United States. 00:24:46
To clean that up from human. 00:24:47
Pollution, uh. 00:24:49
That the funds that those projects that are selected. 00:24:50
The monies will go to them tax free. 00:24:54
There will be no tax implications. 00:24:58
To this SO. 00:25:00
It's a It's a good. This is. 00:25:02
Really gracious. 00:25:06
That is being brought forward for us to consider to predict in the future. 00:25:09
So with that, I'll take any questions if you have any. 00:25:13
Thank you, Jake. 00:25:16
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:17
Well, I've got questions and comments. Umm. 00:25:20
Anyway, you've said multiple times. 00:25:23
Borrow money from WIFA. 00:25:26
Yes. So this is a loan. 00:25:27
Yes, it is to be paid back. 00:25:30
How Here's. 00:25:32
Well, let me just share. 00:25:35
So the original loan when EPA came down was going to be 100% forgivable loan program because we can't do that. 00:25:37
Many and 80 who are working with I believe it's. 00:25:45
ARPA funding that's expiring, so this one is not alone. 00:25:48
This is literally just 500,000. There's many honest wastewater systems as we can fit. 00:25:51
And then there were there's no repayments or anything on. 00:25:56
The funny is just a way to improve that water. 00:25:59
OK. Yeah, good. Thank you. Yeah, because you mentioned it a couple times. So I just, I just wanted to clear that up. 00:26:02
I think in the future that it is. 00:26:08
And and also. 00:26:11
For the people that are out there the the Pinal Creek Waterway is a wheat fields area. 00:26:14
Correct, this is not. 00:26:18
A county wide deal. This is a particular watershed that's pretty much in the wheat fields area. 00:26:20
So if you live other than that. 00:26:26
Right now. 00:26:29
We can't help you. 00:26:30
It's it's for the wheat fields area selected this waterway. Yes. And it wasn't us that that did it. It was a DEQ that selected the 00:26:32
waterway. 00:26:36
For this funding to be spent. 00:26:42
And part of the reason for that is the intention is, is hopefully we can show that by doing a project like this, we're going to 00:26:44
see some improvement in that waterway. 00:26:48
That would help a future problem. 00:26:52
Oh yeah, no, we want to make sure we're specifically targeting a small area. 00:26:54
Right. And and so, yeah, so anyway, I I also wanted to get that out there, so. 00:26:57
I don't we don't get a lot of calls and say. 00:27:02
Hey, you know before that. 00:27:04
500,000 runs out, you know. Will you take care of mine? 00:27:06
But because that that's only a particular area in a watershed. 00:27:10
At this point in time, but. 00:27:13
But we're hoping for progress. 00:27:15
Yes, and and so anyway. 00:27:17
You know, I want to thank everybody for all their interest in Hila County and. 00:27:19
Helping us with our wastewater. 00:27:23
Situations and I think the reason. 00:27:26
A lot of Hulu County was prepared for some of this information needed. 00:27:28
It's because of all the work with with Tri-City Sanitation project. 00:27:33
Who has done an awful lot of work and spent a lot of money? 00:27:37
In collecting that information. 00:27:40
So that we could be more ready. 00:27:43
To go forward and not. 00:27:46
Continue to pollute our water sources. 00:27:49
And and to help. 00:27:52
With our infrastructure. 00:27:53
And so I thank you all for helping. 00:27:55
That project as well as this project, because they're all kind of lumped into one so. 00:27:57
I I just, I can't say enough about. 00:28:04
How much I appreciate all the work that's being done. 00:28:07
For cleaning up the cesspools and for helping. 00:28:10
Tri-City, go forward. 00:28:14
With their project for. 00:28:15
For infrastructure and and to also help. 00:28:17
This waterway so. 00:28:20
Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:28:22
Thank you, Professor Klein. 00:28:23
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:28:27
Jake, you guys, thank you, Manny. 00:28:28
Thank you, really appreciate it. 00:28:30
Yeah, Jake, I would have one. 00:28:31
Question. 00:28:33
You know when we're talking about these waterways like. 00:28:35
Now Creek and right there and wheat fields area. 00:28:38
So much of that area is in floodplain. 00:28:41
So when we. 00:28:44
Tie in there to to fix some of these cesspools and things like that. 00:28:44
Are they going to have to be the more advanced systems like your aerobic systems instead of your? 00:28:49
Conventional systems. 00:28:54
The answer is yes. 00:28:56
Yeah, and. 00:29:00
When you say they the. 00:29:01
The uh. 00:29:03
Funds will have to. 00:29:04
In order to utilize the funds on those properties. 00:29:06
You'll have to have a. 00:29:09
System that meets the criteria. 00:29:10
That look. 00:29:13
Floodplain ordinance of Gila County. 00:29:14
Spells out. 00:29:16
4 Septic systems in the floodway. 00:29:18
Yeah, OK. 00:29:20
So that is floodway. 00:29:22
So yes, it's. 00:29:23
That it's a double whammy in there. 00:29:25
Right. 00:29:28
But still we should get. 00:29:29
Quite a few of them done so. 00:29:31
We're going to get quite a few of them done, would get. 00:29:32
Quite a few more if it wasn't a floodway. 00:29:35
Yeah, right. 00:29:38
That's that's the way life goes, you know. 00:29:39
Thank you, Jake. 00:29:42
Thanks for all your work. 00:29:43
Thank you again man. 00:29:44
You bet. 00:29:46
Yeah. Thank you. 00:29:47
Jake and Manny. 00:29:49
For taking such a deep dive into this. 00:29:50
It takes a lot of courage to dive in deep on this one. 00:29:53
We'll look at it this way. 00:29:59
There's Yeah, Dive in Deep is exactly right. 00:30:00
Takes a lot of courage and not many people even think about. 00:30:03
Yeah. 00:30:06
Well, what's funny is they've been outlawed for so long, yet we're still dealing with them. So only since 1976. 00:30:08
Yeah, yeah. 00:30:14
It's not that long, right? 00:30:15
Anyway, thank you. Thank you for all of that. Let me say one other thing. 00:30:18
Sure. 00:30:22
And you? 00:30:24
So here's the deal when I was a kid. 00:30:26
I have kind of put in perspective. 00:30:29
What this means? 00:30:31
So I grew up in Wheatland, WY. 00:30:33
And it was a, well, it's a little town. It was 300 people. 00:30:35
Time. 00:30:40
And if you want to use the telephone, you pick it up and. 00:30:41
And the operator would say number please. 00:30:45
And so you'd say your number and my home number was 587. 00:30:49
My dad had a grocery store and it was 7. 00:30:53
7070. 00:30:55
And the lumber number was lumber #9. 00:30:57
So you just say those things and there were party lines and it was all kinds of fun. 00:31:01
So along came technology and. 00:31:06
You know, you get dial phones pretty soon and then. 00:31:09
You started to get touch tone phones, but our town. 00:31:12
Went straight from. 00:31:15
Number please. 00:31:18
To touch tone. 00:31:19
Now, the significance of what we're doing today. 00:31:22
Is exactly that. 00:31:25
We're going from cesspools. 00:31:27
Who create huge, huge amounts of. 00:31:30
Of pollution. 00:31:33
And old septics that do the same. 00:31:34
Two, no pollution. 00:31:37
From way from the beginning. 00:31:41
To no pollution. 00:31:44
And so. 00:31:46
I you know that that struck me as a. 00:31:47
A change that maybe you all. 00:31:51
Could relate to. 00:31:53
Because I can tell you that when. 00:31:54
The guys I went to college who went to Cleveland. 00:31:56
You know, they just got a big kick out of picking up the phone and. 00:31:59
And hearing number please. 00:32:02
So I want you to remember, as we think about cesspools, that. 00:32:04
Will no longer have to have the operator ask the school we want to call. 00:32:09
And then have the opportunity. Well, they're not. 00:32:12
You could call such and such because they're over there. 00:32:15
All right. 00:32:18
Thank you for everything. 00:32:20
OK, thank you for that. And so with that I'll. 00:32:21
Yes, yes, Sir. 00:32:24
I just want to say hats off to the team, hats off to Joe Algo. With this being a pilot program for the state of Arizona, it did 00:32:25
take a lot of work. 00:32:29
On behalf of. 00:32:34
Hula County. 00:32:35
Joe Abel did want to hit a point home. 00:32:36
Jake did mention the fact that this is non taxable to the property owners. 00:32:39
But I did want to go ahead and read a recital out of. 00:32:44
The resolution. 00:32:48
To further the Board's public purpose, it is the intent of this resolution that participating private property owners. 00:32:50
Shall not be subject to the negative federal income tax consequences because of their participation. 00:32:56
In this cost sharing program established solely for. 00:33:02
Conserving soil and water resources or protecting and restoring the environment. 00:33:05
That basically means that. 00:33:11
You know, because they're hooking up to the system, their property value will increase. 00:33:13
They are not going to be subject to a tax increase. 00:33:17
Thank you. 00:33:21
OK. Thank you. 00:33:22
So if there's nothing else, I'll call for a motion. 00:33:23
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution #25 dash. 00:33:26
07-01. 00:33:31
Mr. Chair, I will. 00:33:34
OK, motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:33:35
I thank you guys. 00:33:39
You got it. 00:33:41
All right, item 4B is my item. It's information discussion action. 00:33:42
The proven economic development agreement. 00:33:46
And that's the number 2026. 00:33:49
0000004. 00:33:51
OK between Hewitt County and the Payson Book Festival and the amount of $1000 to support the 10th annual. 00:33:57
Hasten Book Festival, which the Board is determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:34:02
With us today, we have Connie Cockrell. She's part of that organization. The book festival is something I have supported through 00:34:06
my constituent funds. 00:34:10
For the last few years. And so this is what that is. 00:34:14
Honey, can you tell us briefly? 00:34:18
What? What the book fair? 00:34:21
The book festival is. 00:34:24
And how it impacts? 00:34:26
In a positive way. 00:34:28
Certainly. Thank you. 00:34:31
What happened to today? 00:34:32
The flexible. 00:34:34
We started playing the book festival in 2014. 00:34:37
And supervisor Tom Martin. 00:34:41
Back in the day, of course. 00:34:44
Joining us in helping us. 00:34:47
In depth that people planned and off the ground with. 00:34:48
This baby grant. 00:34:52
So you had to skip the year, of course for COVID, but. 00:34:53
Then we pick it right back up in 2021, so. 00:34:58
Basically what we're trying to do is. 00:35:02
The support authors. 00:35:06
Local authors. 00:35:09
Arizona Office. 00:35:10
And to support our. 00:35:11
Education. 00:35:14
In the area through. 00:35:16
On reading for kids. 00:35:18
The literacy rate in. 00:35:21
And literature comprehension rate in New York County is pretty well. 00:35:23
And actually pretty low all the costs in the phone myself. 00:35:28
These kind of work platform. 00:35:32
Where we have the authors actually in the rooms on their books. 00:35:33
Talking to people who bring their children in or adults who. 00:35:37
Really had a particular kind of book that actually read. 00:35:42
That interaction with the author? Really. 00:35:47
Gets people excited about. 00:35:50
Region and of course. 00:35:52
A. 00:35:55
Food Electric. 00:35:57
It was illiterate and understands what's happening in meetings like this. 00:35:59
We need to encourage the. 00:36:03
So that's what we're doing. 00:36:07
OK. Thank you. SO. 00:36:09
Let's see, Supervisor Humphrey, you have any? I have no question. 00:36:11
Supervisor Klein. 00:36:14
No, thank you. 00:36:15
Well, good. All right. Thank you for coming, Connie. I appreciate it. With that, I'll call for motion. Mr. Chair, I move to 00:36:16
approve economic development. 00:36:20
Agreement number 202-6000. 00:36:24
00004. 00:36:27
Between Hila County and Payson Book Festival as presented. 00:36:30
And and which the board has. 00:36:35
Determined to be for the benefit of the public. 00:36:38
And I'll second that Mr. Chair will show you the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:36:41
Aye, thank you and. 00:36:46
All right, let's move on. 00:36:49
Foresee information, discussion action. 00:36:50
To authorize the Treasurer's office to abate the taxes, interest and fees. 00:36:53
On 118 properties and authorized the Chairman signature on each of the related certificates of clearance. 00:36:57
For removal of uncollected personal. 00:37:04
Property. Good morning, Monica. Good morning, Mr. Chair, board members. 00:37:07
So I'm here this morning to request. 00:37:13
And abate 180. 00:37:16
Certificates of Clearance for removal and uncollected personal property. 00:37:19
So the background is the Hill County treasure. 00:37:24
Has 118 certificate of clearance for uncollectible taxes, which are mobile homes. 00:37:27
And these are no longer. 00:37:34
In the Gila County area. 00:37:36
They have been certified by the Gila County Assessors Office. 00:37:37
And they are no longer on the tax row at such they need to be abated. 00:37:41
The evaluation are based on the Arizona Revised Statute 42-1. 00:37:46
9157 Collection. 00:37:52
Of delinquent Texas. 00:37:55
Arizona Revised Statute 42-18351 Circumstances of abating. 00:37:57
Tax and removal of tax lien. 00:38:03
Each of these 118 properties. 00:38:06
Has a detailed history and documentation. 00:38:09
As to the reasons for the abatement, which is also attached to the agenda items. 00:38:12
The conclusion? 00:38:18
It is in the best interest of Gila County to abate these taxes and have them removed from the tax rolls. 00:38:20
The recommendation? 00:38:27
Is for the Hill County Treasurer Recommends the Board of Supervisors to approve. 00:38:30
The 118 certificates of clearance in accordance to the Arizona Revised Stack. 00:38:35
Thank you, Monica. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:38:43
Yeah, so. 00:38:45
In the state of Arizona like. 00:38:48
If you own a piece property, you're paying taxes on that property. 00:38:49
And have you buy a? 00:38:53
A mobile home and put it on that property, then you're paying taxes on the mobile home. 00:38:54
And the property, but they're separate. 00:38:58
That correct? 00:39:00
Yes. 00:39:02
What would it take that if you're putting a mobile home on a property to somehow be able to combine? 00:39:03
That is that a. 00:39:09
US Would that be a state law that needs to be passed? 00:39:11
To combine it, that is done by the assessor's office and you can do most of these mobile homes are in a park. 00:39:15
Oh, OK. 00:39:22
OK, so they were paying taxes but not on private property? 00:39:24
We're in a park. 00:39:28
Correct on the RV park. 00:39:29
Or like Santiago or a mobile Home Park. 00:39:31
OK, so to God. 00:39:34
Combined them, that would have to be an owners choice. 00:39:35
Correct. 00:39:39
OK, because also too there's been. 00:39:39
Taxes that were owed on a. 00:39:42
Mobile phone. 00:39:44
But they couldn't. 00:39:46
Go collect the mobile home because it was on private property. 00:39:47
And you can't go on private property these are either, you know, they put them on a hitch and they're. 00:39:51
Out of the state or they've been demolished. Yeah, that's what you said. Those. 00:39:57
You know those you have record up. 00:40:01
But there's some that's not. 00:40:03
Being paid taxes on. 00:40:04
Probably not on this list. 00:40:06
But there's you can't. 00:40:08
You can't go get it or anything because it is on private property to which they are. 00:40:09
Paying taxes on. 00:40:13
So that creates a problem as well and I was just wondering. 00:40:15
There wouldn't be a way in the future. 00:40:19
Try to help. 00:40:21
This problem that you. 00:40:22
What you're dealing with today? 00:40:24
No further questions. Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 00:40:26
Monica, thanks for cleaning it up. 00:40:29
It's good to get those off the rolls and not deal with them. 00:40:31
And that's to help with the with the assessors office. 00:40:35
Yeah. Thank you both. 00:40:38
OK. Thank you, Monica. We're going to vote to abate all 118 properties in one motion. 00:40:40
And I get to sign 118 paper. 00:40:47
That's right. 00:40:51
OK, so with that I will call for a motion. 00:40:53
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the Treasurer's office to abate the taxes. 00:40:56
Interest and fees on 118 properties and authorized the Chairman's signature. 00:41:01
On each of the related certificates of clearance for removal of uncle. 00:41:07
Both personal property. 00:41:12
Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:41:14
OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:41:16
Thank you, Monica. We've got another one for you for the information, discussion, action. 00:41:21
Authorized the Treasurer's office to abate. 00:41:25
The taxes, interest and fees on. 00:41:27
This one parcel account number. 00:41:29
R037663. 00:41:31
And authorize the chairman signature on the certificate. 00:41:34
A certificate of clearance for removal of uncollected. 00:41:37
Real property. 00:41:41
Yes, this is an easy one. 00:41:42
So this one is to abate one certificate of clearance of removal for an. 00:41:43
Uncollectible real property. 00:41:48
The background This certificate The Hill County Treasurer has one certificate of clearance for uncollectible taxes for a Rd. 00:41:50
Far so, that was privately owned. 00:41:58
When the tax liability occurred. 00:42:00
And the tax liability occurred before Heal County owned the. 00:42:03
The parcel. 00:42:07
The evaluation this should be sufficient, sufficient evidence. 00:42:09
From the treasurer's office. 00:42:15
For the Board of Supervisors inspection and in accordance with the ARS 42-18. 00:42:16
3. 00:42:24
51 and ARS 42 dash. 00:42:25
18352. 00:42:28
Declaring the real property now this is real property, not mobile home. 00:42:30
Listed here in uncollectible. 00:42:34
Conclusion. It is in the best interest. 00:42:37
Of healing county to abate these taxes and remove. 00:42:40
Them from the. 00:42:44
Recommendation The Hill County Treasurer recommends a Board of Supervisors to approve this one. 00:42:46
Certificate of clearance in the quarter in accordance with the Arizona Revised Statutes. 00:42:52
So this was a road owned by. 00:42:57
Private umm. 00:43:00
At one time and then now the Hill County owns it by. 00:43:01
A quick claim, Dean. 00:43:05
And respect taxes. 00:43:06
OK. Thank you, super. 00:43:08
No questions. 00:43:11
Mr. Klein. Thank you, Monica. 00:43:13
How much back taxes were there approximately? 00:43:15
Taxes $133.34. Interest 100 and 1814. 00:43:21
Sense Miscellaneous fees 100 and. 00:43:26
5 for a total of $356.48 OK. 00:43:28
Thank you. 00:43:34
All right. With that, I'll call for a motion. 00:43:34
Mr. Chair, I move to authorize. 00:43:37
The treasurer's office to abate. 00:43:39
The taxes interest in fees on this one. 00:43:41
Parcel account number. 00:43:45
R037663. 00:43:47
And authorized the Chairman's signature on the certificate of clearance. 00:43:51
Removal and uncollectible real. 00:43:55
Property, Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 00:43:57
Good. We have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:44:00
Aye. 00:44:03
Monica, thank you, gentlemen. 00:44:04
Right next, we have 4 E information discussion action to approve organized petition for redemption of. 00:44:07
Exemption waiver from. 00:44:13
Karen and Brennan. 00:44:14
That too she need to have her property tax exemption. 00:44:16
That is being waived by. 00:44:19
There's one revised statute 4211153A. 00:44:21
Redeemed for tax year 2025. 00:44:25
And we have Micah with us. 00:44:28
Good morning, Chairman and supervisors. 00:44:31
The assessor's office is bringing forth a petition for redemption of ways. 00:44:33
Waiver pursuant to ARS 42. 00:44:36
11153. 00:44:39
If a person with a disability who qualifies for an exemption but did not file for the exemption prior to the statutory required 00:44:41
deadline. 00:44:45
Submits a petition. 00:44:49
That person may have the waiver redeemed by the county Board of Supervisors at any regular meeting. 00:44:51
Except that the taxes that were due and payable before the petition was submitted. 00:44:56
May not be refunded or abated. 00:45:00
Mrs. Brandon has been approved for a total. 00:45:03
Disability exemption and qualifies to petition the Board. 00:45:05
For the redemption waiver. 00:45:09
She's petitioning the redemption of the waiver for tax year 2025. 00:45:10
Taxes for 2025 have not yet been assessed, therefore, Mrs. Brandon. 00:45:14
May petition. 00:45:19
For the abatement of her exempted amount. 00:45:20
She inquired last fall or winter about the exemption before the new exemption forms in 2025. Exemption amount. 00:45:23
Had been released from the Arizona Department of Revenue. 00:45:30
She was advised that the new exemption form had not been released and it was either miscommunicated. 00:45:33
Or misunderstood by Mrs. Brannon that the updated form? 00:45:39
Would be available no later than. 00:45:42
The application period of the first Monday in January and March 1st. 00:45:45
If the board grants the redemption of the waiver. 00:45:50
After the exemption is applied, there will still be an existing taxable amount. 00:45:53
For 2025 tax year. 00:45:57
So she will still have a due and payable amount on her tax bill. 00:46:00
Even after the exemption amount. 00:46:03
Is taken out. 00:46:05
We in the assessor's office do not advocate. 00:46:07
For or against? 00:46:10
Any approval of a petition, we leave that decision to the board. 00:46:12
Thank you. 00:46:16
Thank you, Michael. Supervisor Humphrey. 00:46:17
Yeah, I I have no questions it. 00:46:20
Because there's still a. 00:46:24
A tax amount on on the property. 00:46:25
I'm all for helping people that need help in the seniors, it's just. 00:46:28
Not for later down the road to create problems for ourselves so. 00:46:32
Sure. Her assessed amount for 2025 will be 6563. 00:46:36
If you grant the waiver, the exemption amount for 2025 is 4748, so she'll still have an assessed remaining amount of 1815, so she 00:46:41
still will. 00:46:47
Have a taxable amount that will be. 00:46:53
That's quite a large piece of property, isn't it? 00:46:56
For that, for those kind of taxes, that's that's the assessed value. 00:47:00
That's not the taxable amount, that's just the assessed. 00:47:04
Oh, OK. 00:47:07
Thank you. 00:47:08
No further questions. OK. Thank you, supervisor. 00:47:09
Client Micah, I'm good. Thank you. 00:47:11
Yeah, I'm good as well. So with that, I'll call for a motion. 00:47:14
Mr. Chair, I make the motion to approve. 00:47:18
A petition for redemption of exemption waiver from. 00:47:22
Karen and Brennan as president. 00:47:26
I'll second that. 00:47:29
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:47:30
Aye. Thank you, Michael. Thank you, Sheriff, for coming. 00:47:34
4F information, discussion action. 00:47:38

$195,076.20. 00:47:54
For the period of July 125. 00:47:58
To June 30, 2026, to continue to. 00:48:00
Provide prevention program services. 00:48:03
In Gila County. 00:48:05
Come on, Josh. 00:48:07
Good morning, Chairman, Members of the board so. 00:48:08
This is actually the third time this five year Healthy People, Healthy Communities contracts come before us. 00:48:10
I'm not trying to save Mr. Driscoll's, actually the one that worked with the state of Arizona when we created this grant back in 00:48:15
2016. 00:48:19
Hey, Michael. 00:48:22
So this runs our chronic disease programs for the county. 00:48:25
Our teen pregnancy prevention programs in the schools. 00:48:28
How are tobacco free? 00:48:31
Programs in the schools. 00:48:33
If you remember, we also have a suicide mortality review. 00:48:35
Board that meets quarterly. 00:48:38
And they go over all the suicides in the county and all the. 00:48:41
Counties do this and we report back to the state to see what the trends are in suicides and what we can do to. 00:48:44
Do a better job of helping to prevent those. 00:48:49
Some of our public health. 00:48:51
Accreditation Fund for staying in line with national objectives for public health. 00:48:53
Commodities funds as well. 00:48:58
The biggest change for this next five year period, which is a really good one from audit and finance perspective, is this is the 00:49:00
last of my grants that used to be a block grant where we just received the money. 00:49:05
And Bill? 00:49:09
Now it's a cost reimbursement grant like all the rest of the grants we have in public health. 00:49:10
I'm told from Aaron and my finance people that they like that much better is to the auditors. 00:49:15
So we'll be a cost reimbursement grant from here moving forward. 00:49:19
And outside of that, no major changes outside I can say with everything going on at the federal and state level. 00:49:23
These are all funds that are mostly put together from. 00:49:28
State tobacco taxes. Lottery funds. 00:49:31
And different kinds of state pool funding. So none of the things that are on this grant. 00:49:34
Or have any or any consequence to what's happening at the federal level. So this is a grant that would be good for the next 5 year 00:49:38
period either way. 00:49:41
OK. Thanks, Josh. Supervisor. 00:49:46
No questions. 00:49:48
Supervisor Klein. 00:49:49
I'm good. Thank you, Josh. 00:49:50

Father Humphrey, would you like to? 00:58:57
Remove one or more. 00:58:59
I I don't care to remove anything and discuss it separately today. 00:59:01
All right, same question, Supervisor Klein. 00:59:05
The only thing I just want to point out that is not really for discussion is the. 00:59:09
Item eight, 151,000 for Buck Grant. 00:59:13
That's a lot of money. That's good. 00:59:18
So you want to pull that off and discuss it and vote on it separately? 00:59:19
You know what? Let's let Josh discuss it. You bet. 00:59:24
OK, so at this time I'm going to take consent Agenda 5A. 00:59:28
And, umm. 00:59:32
Presented as a regular agenda item is. 00:59:34
So we're going to approval of an interview. 00:59:37
Intergovernmental agreement contract #CPR076954. 00:59:40
With the Arizona Department of. 00:59:45
Health services in the amount of 151,000. 00:59:47
$325. 00:59:49
For the period of July, for one. 00:59:51
July 1, 2025. 00:59:54
Through June 3020. 00:59:56
Early. 00:59:58
To continue to provide title. 00:59:59
5 Maternal and child health services block grant services. 01:00:01
And public health. 01:00:05
Improvement for. 01:00:06
Program Services. 01:00:07
So Josh Beck. 01:00:10
Please let us know more about this particular item. 01:00:11
Good morning and Chairman, Board members. 01:00:14
So the maternal child health. 01:00:16
Portion of this was what we were using to cover. 01:00:18
A lot of the oral health. 01:00:21
Stuff that we were doing in the county that we keep presenting to you. 01:00:23
They changed the deliverables for next year and it. 01:00:27
Goes more back to WIC oriented type of. 01:00:29
Services for families with young children. 01:00:34
So we won't be able to do the oral health stuff again. 01:00:36
So I'll be presenting you at some point in time during one of the work sessions about where we're sitting with our old health. 01:00:38
Programs to some of that funding kind of went away. 01:00:43
The other portion of this is our public health infrastructure. 01:00:46
Which pays for. 01:00:50
Products that were before from arrival. 01:00:52
Pull back in system that does all of our workforce development, our workforce trainings. 01:00:54
All the public health accreditation stuff, everything's in one system. It tracks all of our grants and where we're at. 01:00:58
Process with. 01:01:04
Departmental services like. 01:01:05
Our big back end software program that we use for all of our public health stuff. 01:01:07
As a part of this grant. 01:01:11
The reason we put a lot of consent is right now with the budget that just passed the federal budget like 30 minutes ago or 40 01:01:12
minutes ago, it's zeroed out. 01:01:16
The maternal child health and family planning zeroed out in the federal budget. 01:01:20
Both on the Senate side and the House side that have passed. So this is one of those grants that. 01:01:23
We're still hoping we get, but it's zeroed out both the budgets right now. 01:01:27
So thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:01:31
No questions. 01:01:34
So three things zeroed out. 01:01:35
Josh. 01:01:38
But you mean it's it's done? 01:01:39
Yeah. So, so it's it's the. 01:01:41
You know, last year's funding. 01:01:43
Federal was like $34 million for it. Now it's just zero across the board, so. 01:01:45
But the departmental services is still giving us all of the IGA's. 01:01:50
Assuming the best. 01:01:54
So I still have what I think like 12 more ideas here. The next month I'll be presenting. 01:01:55
And what we actually get for the funding, how many stop work orders we get? 01:02:00
Will be a different story. So we have two stock work orders right now. 01:02:04
One was lifted last night, which was our Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant. 01:02:08
And then one this morning, our vaccine for children program, we just received the state. 01:02:12
Notice of award. 01:02:16
So that one was lifted this morning, so. 01:02:17
It's just kind of a. 01:02:19
Daily seeing, wait and see you right now. 01:02:21
OK. Thank you. 01:02:24
Yep. OK, with that, I'll call for a motion on item 5A. 01:02:26
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve. 01:02:29
Agreement contract number Ctr. 07695. 01:02:32
Or, uh. 01:02:37
With the Arizona Department of Health Services in the amount of $151,325. 01:02:38
For the period of July 1st through. 01:02:44
2025 through. 01:02:47
June 30th. 01:02:49
2020. 01:02:50

I'll second that. 01:02:56
We have a motion and a second to approve Item 5A on the consent agenda item and. 01:02:58

You have a, a motion and a second to prove. 01:03:31
Those in favor say aye. 01:03:34
Oh excuse me, does he need to resign? 5B through 5K? 01:03:38

Odors from the landfill here. 01:04:08

Although, uh. 01:04:35

At any time. 01:04:38

In other words, we may ask you questions, but we're not going to vote. 01:05:02
On any of. 01:05:05
Your comments. 01:05:07
OK, it's not part of our regular agenda. 01:05:08

Yeah, OK. 01:05:24
All right, so I overdid it. 01:05:30
OK, so. 01:05:34
Mr. Warner. 01:05:36
If you can contain your comments to about 3 minutes, that'd be helpful. 01:05:37
Please tell us what's on your mind. 01:05:41
Well I live on Woodward St. in little acres. 01:05:44
And the aroma from. 01:05:49
Is not good. 01:05:53
When I wake up in the morning, I leave and I still have that order. 01:05:56
In my nasal system. 01:06:00
And. 01:06:02
The neighbor they. 01:06:04
Bring my attention, I bring your attention. 01:06:07
So it's been an ongoing. 01:06:10
You know, and then from my house I can sit there and I can see. 01:06:12
The trucks coming in and dumping the trash and everything and. 01:06:17
I just, I don't know why it couldn't have been built on the other side of that mountain. 01:06:21
Instead of Sedan St. the people are almost right in their backyard. 01:06:26
You know, just. 01:06:30
It's probably too late to do anything but. 01:06:32
I don't know about the. 01:06:35
You know, it's just. 01:06:36
It's not good. 01:06:38
And I don't know what. 01:06:41
What can be done? Hauling more dirt? Covered up or? 01:06:43
You know, and I know you can't move the location. It would take a lot. 01:06:46
But. 01:06:51
It'd be appreciated if something could be done. 01:06:53
OK. Thank you for those comments. So Supervisor Hunter, do you have anything you'd like to? 01:06:57
Well, we can't comment on things that aren't on the agenda. 01:07:01
But we can ask staff to look into it. 01:07:06
And so. 01:07:09
Fairy Links is my assistant if you'd like to give her your number. 01:07:11
Then I can get with the public works director that will get in touch with you. 01:07:14
And so, yeah, that way you're not given your number out. 01:07:18
Publicly, you can give it to Terry. 01:07:21
And then I'll have our public works director. 01:07:23
Reach out to you SO. 01:07:26
Maybe you can explain to you what's been going on at the dump and things. 01:07:28
And so that that's that's about all I can do. 01:07:31
Yeah, 'cause it's just, I mean, I consider my house and I can see. 01:07:34
Trash blowing around and it's it. 01:07:38
OK, it's a. 01:07:41
I don't know. 01:07:43
It's not. I know the neighbors trying to sell their house and people sit there and they go. 01:07:45
Oh, we have to look at that, you know, so. 01:07:50
Anyway, OK. 01:07:53
Thank you. Some people have client. Do you have anything you'd like to? 01:07:54
Just the same as maybe Troy can check all that out. Maybe. 01:07:58
Maybe maybe covering it up in more timely manner if that's the case or whatever it is so. 01:08:01
