OK. It looks like we're ready to go. So I would like to call this meeting to order. It's June 17th. 00:00:17
25 of 10/07. 00:00:23
And I would like to ask Roy Sandoval. 00:00:27
If he would lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance after that. 00:00:31
Marion Belling will lead us in. 00:00:34
Invocation. 00:00:36
I pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:39
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:43
One nation under God. 00:00:46
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:48
Heavenly Father. 00:00:59
We come before you today in gratitude for our colleagues and for the opportunity to serve Gila County. 00:01:00
Because we are looking at our budgets. 00:01:06
I'll be using the prayer before a calculator. 00:01:08
Lord help us to remember that behind each number there is a face. 00:01:11
And precious life that is seeking our assistance. 00:01:16
As our fingers spread over these numbers and symbols, we pray. 00:01:19
May the burdens of poverty and illness be subtracted? 00:01:22
May healing be added to health care? 00:01:25
May the divisions among us be few. 00:01:28
And may the grace of God be multiplied in all our endeavours. 00:01:30
Amen. 00:01:34
Amen. Thank you. 00:01:35
OK. We're going to start off with Item 2, which is our presentations. We have 3 this morning. The first one is. 00:01:40
To a presentation of. 00:01:46
University of Arizona's Gila County Cooperative Extension Office annual report. 00:01:48
And Fiscal Year 202526 Budget request to be considered for approval during. 00:01:53
Gila County's regular budget. 00:01:59
Process. Umm. 00:02:01
I don't think Renee is here today, right? 00:02:02
Correct. And but we do have Chris. 00:02:04
Good morning. 00:02:08
Thank you. Good morning. 00:02:10
Yeah. 00:02:11
All set to go. 00:02:12
Good morning. It's my pleasure to be here before you today. 00:02:14
Honorable Chairman Steve Christensen. 00:02:18
So what about supervisors Tim Humphrey and Woody Klein? 00:02:21
Thank you for this opportunity to be. 00:02:25
For you and. 00:02:26
Wish you well today. 00:02:28
We are here. 00:02:29
Coach Renee asked us to. 00:02:32
She was not able to come today obviously and got an appointment that if she missed it. 00:02:34
She couldn't reschedule it for months and months. 00:02:38
We're happy to do the annual report. 00:02:41
And budget request here. 00:02:43
You know what I mean? My name is Chris Jones. I'm the AG agent for Natural Resources and Agriculture. 00:02:45
And since. 00:02:50
October or so I'm also the. 00:02:52
Interim extension director for Coconino County. 00:02:54
Right. And so? 00:02:58
I'm going to hand this over to my colleague. 00:03:00
Ashley Dixon. 00:03:03
Cleaver. 00:03:04
She's an associate agent for our family consumer science and health programs. 00:03:05
And we'll start with. 00:03:08
The slides and then we'll just kind of share. 00:03:10
OK. Good morning. 00:03:12
Nice to meet you all. 00:03:14
So I'm just going to go through a few different areas of programming that we have. 00:03:16
1st I'm family consumer Health Science so I'm Christmas counterpart but instead of adding natural resources I'm family consumer 00:03:22
science and. 00:03:26
Renee is 4H so. 00:03:31
I'll go over this and 1st I want to introduce. 00:03:34
A couple of our staff. 00:03:37
That work on family consumer science, you guys want to introduce yourself? 00:03:38
Hi, I'm Kate Gore. I am. 00:03:42
Specialist that. 00:03:45
Leaves in some of the education for our community with families and senior Health Sciences. 00:03:47
I let you go building financial. 00:03:52
Party and family talks. Money is it. 00:03:55
Also falter. 00:04:01
I from the Saint Louis tribe and I work closely with the San Carlos and I Can tribe. 00:04:03
Under healthy lifestyles and go on early literacy. 00:04:09
Go on these at home so I. 00:04:14
Try to link the language with early literacy and work with children into the room. 00:04:16
Good job. Thanks. 00:04:21
OK, so family consumer science employs. 00:04:23
Gila County residents and those eight Gila County residents. 00:04:27
Served last year. 350 vision screenings, over 350 hearing screens for zero to five year olds. 00:04:32
We also educated 22 parents on. 00:04:40
More tools for parenting. 00:04:43
And. 00:04:45
Kate said she reached over 150 residents. 00:04:46
Teaching financial literacy so. 00:04:51
Our reach is pretty far and then we also utilize time to work with childcare providers. 00:04:54
And support them in health. 00:05:02
Health and Wellness as well as safety to. 00:05:04
Make a better environment for our youngest citizens here. 00:05:07
And then let me go over. 00:05:11
The Firtech program, Juan Adias is also our colleague that works in San Carlos. And so last year they did a lot of. 00:05:14
Different kinds of programming. 00:05:24
For live shock equine. 00:05:27
As well as the traditional food systems, which. 00:05:29
Kind of incorporates gardening and. 00:05:33
Proper distribution as well as harvesting and the whole food system and kind of equating that back to the traditions. 00:05:36
And last year their 4H and youth development program kind of flourished and. 00:05:47
They reached a lot of kiddos through Junior Master Gardener. 00:05:53
Welding, archery and so on So. 00:05:58
And then as. 00:06:01
Melody said we. 00:06:03
Together, Juan and I. 00:06:04
Work on the Goa program which is an early literacy program. 00:06:06
And we reached 110 families in San Carlos last year with that program. 00:06:10
So. 00:06:17
Maybe the one that you're almost familiar with 4H. 00:06:19
Last year over 300. 00:06:22
Actually this year. 00:06:26
We're reaching all over 300 and so the number has already increased for youth enrolled. 00:06:27
We've expanded. 00:06:34
The reach for four. 00:06:36
For northern and central Gila. 00:06:38
Especially young. 00:06:41
And Tonto Basin getting a more robust program going. 00:06:43
We would like to thank Supervisor Christensen, who assists in expanding the shooting and archery sports in Northern Gila. 00:06:47
And then I just want to say. 00:06:55
That 4H would not be as successful as it is. 00:06:57
Without all the volunteers that give their time and energy. 00:07:02
For the betterment of our youth. 00:07:06
OK. And then finally AG Days was a huge success this year. 00:07:09
As it has been in the past, but it's a great opportunity for all of us to work together in our office, but also. 00:07:15
To work together with our our amazing community partners. 00:07:22
And yeah. 00:07:26
So that's. 00:07:29
I think it and. 00:07:30
I will pass it over to Chris for Aging Natural Resources. 00:07:32
All right, well, this is my program. I do programs like the Master Garden program in Enforced Health. 00:07:37
Have an active Master Gardener program in Payson. 00:07:43
One thing I'd like to share that they're working on closely. 00:07:46
Is taking care of the pace and heritage. 00:07:49
3 Orchard and. 00:07:52
Our group went out there. 00:07:54
Grafted all those apple trees with heritage trees from. 00:07:55
Community. 00:07:58
The old ranches and the homestead. 00:08:00
And uh. 00:08:01
Now go. 00:08:02
Yeah, so the Gophers have taken out a few trees and replacing those great support from Plant Fair Nursery. 00:08:04
Replace some of those trees and. 00:08:09
We're going to try to, really. 00:08:11
Think that the vision that they had and one day the party. 00:08:13
Pick an Apple furniture. 00:08:17
And a couple of things I'd like to share. 00:08:20
That and also OK. 00:08:26
One thing I want to share is I am leading the. 00:08:28
FFA Forestry. 00:08:32
Program for the Career Development day. We do have every annual. 00:08:34
Every year down in Tucson. 00:08:37
For the past two years I've hosted. 00:08:39
A training for those students and natural resources here in Globe. 00:08:41
At the Community Center. 00:08:45
I think this last. 00:08:46
January had. 00:08:47
Over hard to show up. 00:08:48
So really helping out with that. Looking forward to one of our. 00:08:49
Gila County teams done. 00:08:52
Go to something. 00:08:54
He he Prescott Valley. 00:08:57
And I'd like to like to talk about. 00:08:58
Ashley Hall. 00:09:01
She's our area agent for. 00:09:02
Animal and rape sciences. 00:09:04
She's here in Pinell County. 00:09:05
She did 90 sites. 00:09:08
20 allotments for the monetary program. 00:09:10
Earlier the reading arranged very similar. What's? 00:09:13
Jim Sprinkle used to do. 00:09:15
13 seminars dealing with all kinds of. 00:09:16
Areas that help ranchers. 00:09:20
He better went to ranching. 00:09:21
And two artificial insemination clinics. 00:09:23
And they say that when they hold those, they're. 00:09:26
At capacity. 00:09:29
Very powerful. 00:09:30
Save a waiting list. 00:09:31
And here is a breakdown on our budget. 00:09:35
What I don't know if you've heard about some of the difficulties we're going at the University of Arizona as far as the budget 00:09:39
goes. 00:09:42
That's getting spread evenly even costs. 00:09:45
Extension here. 00:09:48
We receive a reduction of. 00:09:49
$340,000. 00:09:51
From the last year. 00:09:54
Which amazing. 00:09:55
We have had to, really. 00:09:57
Focus on what we're doing. We. 00:09:59
Lose some employees. 00:10:01
We don't replace them. 00:10:04
Cut back on the ground. 00:10:05
Travel and professional development. 00:10:06
Ashley's patch is ship pointing around with some of the grants she's had. 00:10:09
The point I'm trying to make there, that's a lot of money. 00:10:12
We cannot sustain it. It's very hard. 00:10:14
And finally. 00:10:17
Our ask is please continue. 00:10:19
The financial support is $70,000 for Hula County Cooperative Extension. 00:10:22
It makes a great difference for us and we really. 00:10:26
And thank you. 00:10:34
All this is possible because of. 00:10:35
Your support? 00:10:37
We love working with. 00:10:39
Any questions or thanks for the presentation, Supervisor Humphrey? 00:10:42
Oh yeah, a couple questions, one. 00:10:47
You know what? What's caused the cut and to? 00:10:49
What is that gonna do? 00:10:52
But how is that going to affect our 4H? 00:10:54
Going forward. 00:10:57
Because that's huge. 00:10:58
Here in Hilton County and and so the. 00:11:00
You know, that's that's questions and concerns that I have. 00:11:03
Right. Well. 00:11:06
Year and a half ago, It's been 2 years now. 00:11:10
We discovered that the University of Arizona was in a hole, at least in. 00:11:13
Quarter $250 million. 00:11:17
Not anything to do with extension, nothing to do with Cooperative Extension. 00:11:20
I believe it had a lot to do with the. 00:11:25
Online university, they got that password. 00:11:27
Online university that had a lot of debt. 00:11:30
Currently continue to have a lot of debt. 00:11:32
And other issues that just weren't. 00:11:34
Being paid attention to. 00:11:36
And so the Board of Regents came over. 00:11:38
Started over and. 00:11:40
With our budgets and just started making cutbacks to your. 00:11:42
University can start to. 00:11:45
Have battles. It has been a really kind of. 00:11:47
Uncertain time for us, we get told. 00:11:50
By the day, what's happening with the budget? 00:11:52
From the. 00:11:55
On campus. 00:11:55
Very difficult. 00:11:56
Appreciate your bring up 4H program. 00:11:58
Renee was going to announce that she is retiring as well. 00:12:01
So if you've heard that. 00:12:05
She will be having an open house on August 1st. 00:12:06
And and. 00:12:09
Right now, the university. 00:12:11
Managing its budget through attrition, so when we lose people, we don't replace them. 00:12:15
Kind of helps with the keep the budget going. 00:12:19
We can't afford not to have a four inch program here. 00:12:21
So, uh. 00:12:24
We'll have an opportunity to talk with them and see what we can do. 00:12:25
Is to support that. 00:12:28
I think we're all doing our best too, so I bring in quite a bit of grants and things like that for my programs, and I know Renee 00:12:29
has some for. 00:12:34
Hers and Chris and so forth. But. 00:12:39
I think we're all using some of that money and. 00:12:42
If we can keep people. 00:12:46
If we can't support them on state funds or otherwise, then shifting them over. 00:12:48
To specific grants and programs to be able to keep their employment. 00:12:53
I have not lost any staff but like Chris said. 00:12:58
It's more the issue is. 00:13:03
Losing somebody or retiring or leaving and then us not being able to rehire. 00:13:04
Our goal has always been to maintain employment for those that want it and maintain benefits eligibility for those that want it. 00:13:09
So. 00:13:14
And then we have been like Chris said. 00:13:18
Tightening all of our, you know, travel funds and anything kind of above and beyond to just make sure we can keep the people and 00:13:21
continue to deliver all the programs. 00:13:27
But a lot of the. 00:13:33
Issues really have nothing to do with us, but they're painting kind of every department with the same brush and we're just kind 00:13:34
of. 00:13:38
Caught in the crossfire of it so. 00:13:42
We're doing our very best to continue and I think we've kind of done some projections for next year. I think we look pretty good. 00:13:45
In terms of being able to keep everybody that's currently on staff. 00:13:53
I don't know about Renee's position. That's something we don't decide. That's a state. 00:13:57
Decision if. 00:14:03
Fill fill position. 00:14:04
But faculty positions but. 00:14:06
Beyond that, I think, I think we feel. 00:14:09
Hopeful. 00:14:13
About at least the next year. 00:14:16
Yeah. 00:14:18
Hey, who could I reach out at a higher level to let them know the interest in 4H and the concerns? 00:14:21
And you don't have to give that to me, you know, because there's a lot of people online and stuff. But I, I would like an e-mail 00:14:27
or some kind of identification to where I can. 00:14:31
Reach out and. 00:14:36
And let them know how important that program is. We will do that our. 00:14:38
State Director and Martin. 00:14:42
With the person to speak to. 00:14:44
And I believe coordinating with our. 00:14:45
Advisory Board. Board. 00:14:48
Clark Richards has been our chair for many years. 00:14:50
I know he's. 00:14:52
OK. Yeah, If I, if I can get that information from you, I'd appreciate. Sure. 00:14:53
Thank you. 00:14:57
Thank you. 00:14:58
Thank you, Supervisor Clark. 00:14:59
You know, just just thinking of that and then. 00:15:02
PC supervisor Humphrey stepping up there and do that. 00:15:05
That honestly, I think need to come from Gila County as a whole. 00:15:08
The 4H program that we have in Gila County. 00:15:13
It it, it has to stay in place. We need to keep it going. 00:15:17
You can see the participants and the numbers and everything that's there for these. 00:15:22
These folks and that's something that. 00:15:27
I know. 00:15:30
For me is very near and dear to my heart. 00:15:31
Keep that going So. 00:15:33
Maybe there's a way, Mr. Menlove, we can draft something from the. 00:15:35
County is a hole that the chairman could sign. 00:15:38
That we support keeping. 00:15:41
Our 4H program. 00:15:43
And not just an individual. 00:15:45
District. I mean, it's good if we individual districts give our input, but. 00:15:48
As a whole, we're a lot more. 00:15:52
More stronger. 00:15:55
And Mr. Chairman, through very kind we can certainly. 00:15:57
Do letters of support and request that we. 00:16:00
But that continued, as strong as it has been. 00:16:04
So certainly we can do that. 00:16:08
The the other thing and. 00:16:10
And James, I asked you too. We've been giving them 70,000 now, I think for about every year we've been on the board. 00:16:13
For the most part. 00:16:20
Is it really? 00:16:22
About time we look at something of an increase. 00:16:24
We can have that discussion. 00:16:29
OK. All right. 00:16:31
And you know and and. 00:16:33
Your extension offices. 00:16:36
All the way around is just really, really important to our county. 00:16:38
It really is every aspect of your extension office. 00:16:42
Is very, very important to this county. 00:16:46
And so you can just take Ashley's. 00:16:49
Program that she continued on from. 00:16:52
Mr. Sprinkle, if it wasn't for that program, there's a lot of permittees that would not be in Business Today. 00:16:55
And so. 00:17:01
And, and, and I see everything that you're involved with, with the families and. 00:17:02
And other aspects of it so. 00:17:06
I think as a whole. 00:17:09
I think we ought to. 00:17:11
We ought to be looking at. 00:17:12
This real seriously and. 00:17:13
And seeing what we can do to help if we can do something. 00:17:15
Mr. Chair, thank you guys for. 00:17:20
Yes, thank you for the presentation and I do believe that. 00:17:24
You guys. 00:17:27
Do a lot of work in England. It's. 00:17:28
Tremendous benefit. 00:17:31
And I do agree with the. 00:17:32
Supervisor when it comes to. 00:17:35
Reviewing. 00:17:37
Our support. 00:17:39
And Mr. Menlove, I know we're not. 00:17:42
A healthy county, but. 00:17:45
Perhaps we could show. 00:17:47
A gesture. 00:17:49
Of more support. 00:17:50
As we. 00:17:51
Draft this letter. 00:17:52
And show them that we're serious enough about it to increase. 00:17:54
Are giving as a result. I would like to see that. 00:17:59
OK, good. All right. 00:18:05
Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Yeah. 00:18:07
Yes, Sir. Ask you a couple questions. 00:18:10
Yes, Sir. 00:18:13
Looks like the more majority of the funding comes from the stage. 00:18:17
Federal funding. 00:18:20
Fairly uncertain. Do you? Are you aware of any? 00:18:22
Cuts or any impact from federal funding that. 00:18:25
Gonna away. 00:18:28
Yes. 00:18:30
A few different things, so. 00:18:32
I I have so we have federal funding coming for agents is 1 Avenue, but for programming I have two federal grants. 00:18:34
One we didn't get, we thought we weren't going to get renewal notification. We're in the. 00:18:45
Going into the fourth year of a five year grant. 00:18:51
And we ended up getting notification. 00:18:55
About two months later that we are indeed getting the money, but we've been told. 00:18:59
To kind of plan as if we're not for the 5th year. 00:19:04
So we're figuring that out. 00:19:08
So for that one we dodged. 00:19:11
That we also work under some funding that is funneled through the state that's federal. 00:19:13
For nutrition and physical activity. 00:19:19
In early childhood centers and so that funding we are very uncertain of as well. 00:19:23
Because the current. 00:19:30
Umm, budget that is in the. 00:19:31
Going through right now actually. 00:19:35
Completely eliminates snap Ed and so that was. 00:19:36
Also impacts a lot of our nutrition, physical activity programming here. 00:19:40
For youth as well as adults. 00:19:45
So that those are the two that I know of right now. 00:19:48
Most of my other grants are are. 00:19:52
State funded like First things first and things like that. 00:19:56
I know that Ashley Hall has a couple avenues of. 00:19:59
Planning has either been paused but restarted, or one of them looks like it's not going to be renewed. 00:20:03
And that's something they've been doing for like 22 years. 00:20:12
But I don't know the details on that one. Chris, do you have any? 00:20:15
Yeah. So the situation with the. 00:20:19
We do have. 00:20:21
Formula funding for. 00:20:23
The federal portion of our Cooperative Extension. 00:20:25
Gosh, I'm thinking it's 4%. 00:20:28
But that does help pay for part of our. 00:20:30
80 salaries. 00:20:33
As far as the. 00:20:34
University go. We know they're going to cut us more. 00:20:35
And as far as discussions with the state Legislature? 00:20:40
And then we can talk with our state directors. We've been talking with it. 00:20:45
They still haven't come up with a state budget, as you know. 00:20:48
And we're not expecting to get any additional money from the. 00:20:51
State Legislature, thank you. 00:20:54
Thank you. Thank you guys very much. Thank you. 00:20:57
Have a good day. 00:20:59

Thank you, Sarah. 00:25:34
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:36
I have no questions. 00:25:38
Supervisor Klein. 00:25:40
Sarah and Sheriff, I'd thank you both for everything you do and all your deputies, everyone involved. It's. 00:25:42
It's a huge task and. 00:25:48
And I know you guys are doing. 00:25:50
Doing well with it, so thank you so much. 00:25:52
And I'll just comment that I saw. 00:25:56
A number on here that seems surprising to me, and that is that you. 00:25:59
You had the seizures of fentanyl of 145,000,000. 00:26:04
300,000 grams. 00:26:09
That's a lot. 00:26:11
Of drugs and. 00:26:13
I think we can attribute a lot of that to the canine patrols, right? 00:26:15
Anthox, Oxford, Was the e-mail received the local celebrity up here? 00:26:22
Longer in this party like that so. 00:26:28
Well, I appreciate everything you guys are doing, so stay safe. 00:26:36
Thanks for the report. 00:26:39
And I think that's all we're going to. 00:26:42
Need to talk about on that one. So thank you. Have a great day. 00:26:44
And our next item? 00:26:51
Is going to be item 2C information discussion regarding the potential one year. 00:26:54
Agreement between Hill County and the Hill County Educational Services. 00:26:59
Agency. Uh. 00:27:03
$410,000 to continue adult education programs. 00:27:04
In. 00:27:08
For fiscal year 2526. 00:27:09
Good morning, Mr. Chair. How are you? Sir Humphrey, Mr. 00:27:12
As you know, over the last 8 1/2 years, I. 00:27:16
Take a lot of pride in. 00:27:19
Being able to fund my office and not. 00:27:21
Have to come to you for. 00:27:23
Help. You know, try, we try. We run a very. 00:27:25
I would say lean ship. 00:27:28
And we're very conscious of. 00:27:30
The money and where it goes. 00:27:32
Have clean audits, et cetera, et cetera. 00:27:34
We did hit a snag. 00:27:36
In this. 00:27:37
As you know. 00:27:39
Our adult education program operates. 00:27:41
On both ends of the county, North and South. 00:27:43
It also operates. We expanded it so that it operates. 00:27:47
Online. 00:27:51
We have an online instructor. 00:27:52
And we also have. 00:27:54
Services in the Young Library. 00:27:56
And in the Miami library And in the Hayden win. 00:27:58
So it is a. 00:28:02
Pretty robust and and formidable program. 00:28:03
Along with that. 00:28:06
We also have the testing and. 00:28:07
You're aware I've told you before there was number testing. 00:28:10
And offer a GED. 00:28:12
Or high school equivalency and globe. 00:28:14
Prior to my taking office, we now have testing centers. 00:28:16
On both sides of the county. 00:28:20
And we were also at the. 00:28:21
Santa Carlos Detention Center. 00:28:23
You know, captive audience here so. 00:28:26
Keeping me there at Test, but as well those testing said as we expanded. 00:28:28
To test to do piercing testing. 00:28:32
So when somebody needs a nursing. 00:28:34
Certificate or a teaching certificate or a principal certificate. 00:28:38
They can come to our they do come to our office. 00:28:43
And they take their. 00:28:46
They're testing through the Pearson testing. 00:28:47
And during the COVID. 00:28:50
We had people coming from all over the western United States because testing centers all over the. 00:28:51
Country were closed. We kept our open. 00:28:56
So we do a service for adult education in terms of high school diplomas. 00:28:59
Our equivalency. 00:29:03
GED and also for our testing services. 00:29:05
We also have instruction in ELL. 00:29:09
So we provide services. 00:29:11
I mean, I have a couple of individuals who come from. 00:29:13
Ukraine. 00:29:17
Vietnam. 00:29:19
Germany. 00:29:21
Japan. 00:29:22
One with a pH. 00:29:24
And they come to us to get. 00:29:25
Enough literacy in English. 00:29:28
To where they can function. 00:29:30
In the United States. 00:29:32
In we have engineers, all kinds of people. 00:29:34
Well, so that's introduction to this. 00:29:37
I always tell, you know, I tell you every year I kind of beg where I'm still trying to keep this thing going on. Everybody will 00:29:43
fund K12. 00:29:47
And they fund the universities. 00:29:50
But they don't find adult education. 00:29:52
There is no. 00:29:54
Mechanism of the Kids show up where people show up and they're funded as. 00:29:55
As they are there. 00:30:00
In terms of. 00:30:02
Coming to learn. 00:30:05
We do it through a grant. 00:30:07
Through the Department of Education. 00:30:09
And they're trying to. 00:30:12
First of four years. It recurs every four years. 00:30:13
And we use a little bit. Some of the money comes from some other sources in. 00:30:18
Part of the money comes from. 00:30:23
The secure rural schools. The SRS. 00:30:24
The SRS this year. 00:30:28
We have heard. 00:30:30
That it might be not as much and we don't know how much we're going to get until May. 00:30:31
Show about May 1st we got it in and it was cut by 75. 00:30:38
Percent. So we quit, got together. 00:30:42
And we said how can we function? 00:30:45
What can we move to? 00:30:48
To other places? How can we move money around? 00:30:50
So that we can function. 00:30:53
So we moved a bunch of positions around. 00:30:55
Or funding for the positions around. 00:30:58
But we actually came up short. 00:31:00
And this is where we came up short, came $110,000 short. 00:31:02
So, uh. 00:31:06
I understand my. 00:31:10
From Navajo County. 00:31:12
Is involved with the National Forest Counties and Schools Coalition. 00:31:14
Which keeps their eye is part of. 00:31:19
Keeps track of the SRS. 00:31:22
Secure rural schools. 00:31:25
We know that it isn't the one big beautiful bill that the language to fund. 00:31:27
To go back and fund this year. 00:31:33
OK, backfill if you will. 00:31:36
And fund next year. 00:31:38
Is in the language in the bill. 00:31:40
We know that it's in the Senate, and I have, I have the language. I was reading it. 00:31:42
We know that. 00:31:48
The legislation has 45 Democratic sponsors in 25 Republican sponsors. 00:31:49
Has good support, but the bill has to. 00:31:55
Pass. 00:31:58
So we, I'm coming to you as soon as we found out that we were not funded, I went to Mr. Menlove and I and I said. 00:32:00
I'm at a loss. We've already moved stuff around, we've done as much as we can. What do you think? 00:32:08
And he suggested that we. 00:32:13
We come to you and arrange something for a year because we still have a year lease on our building. 00:32:14
It turns out that it could be. 00:32:22
Until the end of the fiscal year, if it's funded, we would. 00:32:25
Journal it back to the county. 00:32:28
We wouldn't keep it. 00:32:30
But it will. It is a deal breaker. 00:32:32
For the adult education program in Gila County. 00:32:34
We just. 00:32:37
We won't be able to function. 00:32:38
Part of it is the supplanting issue. 00:32:40
Because we have in order to keep our grant for Ade, we have to. 00:32:44
Put in so much. 00:32:47
So that would affect. 00:32:49
That relationship as well, and maybe they could rearrange themselves. 00:32:52
I don't know. 00:32:56
I haven't checked with Ade yet, to be honest with you because. 00:32:58
It's just not time. 00:33:04
I think I need to try some other avenues before I. 00:33:07
Start droving around with. 00:33:11
With 80. 00:33:13
So that's where we stand. 00:33:14
And I would be. 00:33:17
Happy to answer any questions you've. 00:33:18
Talk before you've asked questions, but I'll answer any others. 00:33:21
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:33:24
Yeah. Good morning And and and. 00:33:27
Apologize, you know, for you falling short. It's. 00:33:30
It's kind of the way the world's going anymore. Everybody seems to be falling short. 00:33:33
I guess a question that I have is. 00:33:38
For the adult education for Gila County. 00:33:41
On the percentage of people that you. 00:33:44
Help. What's the percentage of? 00:33:46
The participants that are. 00:33:49
From County County. 00:33:51
Oh, in terms of the GED? 00:33:54
All of them. 00:33:56
All of them, yeah. 00:33:57
Now some people will come up and use the Pearson testing center. 00:33:59
And if they come up from the valley? 00:34:06
You know, we'll, we'll test them. 00:34:08
OK, but all of the. 00:34:10
Recipients of. 00:34:11
Educational Services. 00:34:13
Are from Gila County. 00:34:15
OK. Yeah. That's the question I had because you mentioned a lot of people coming in. 00:34:17
You know, from other countries things of that nature and. 00:34:21
And not that I'm willing to help. 00:34:25
You know other people, but some of that's up to the federal. 00:34:26
And maybe even the state, because we're having a hard time taking care of Heel County. 00:34:30
So that that that was the reason for my question. 00:34:35
So so Mr. Humphrey, for example. 00:34:39
A person who comes. 00:34:42
Like a lady that was an engineer. 00:34:44
And she was in our ell and she was from. 00:34:47
This is from Vietnam. 00:34:51
Right. She moved here. Her husband lives in Gila County. She moved to Payson. 00:34:52
With her husband. 00:34:58
So she is. 00:34:59
In Gila County. 00:35:01
OK, that makes sense. 00:35:02
Yeah, it it does it it just. 00:35:04
Kind of the way it was presented, it was a little misleading and so and so that's fine and, but, but like I say, I, you know, I. 00:35:06
I think it. 00:35:15
I I think adult education is very important. 00:35:16
And and and like I say with with our budget, we. 00:35:19
We want to help people. 00:35:22
From Halo County best we can, absolutely with the funding that we do better. 00:35:24
And so thank you very much for straightening me out. 00:35:28
No, I'm sorry. I appreciate it. 00:35:32
Thank you, Mr. Klein. 00:35:35
Roy and Nick, thank you guys. 00:35:36
I know you scrambled on this one. 00:35:38
And. 00:35:40
Or everything at the federal level level right now is pretty dysfunctional? 00:35:42
And so to really put much faith in something. 00:35:47
Passing right now. 00:35:50
I mean, it's just a. 00:35:52
It's just a prayer that. 00:35:54
And so when it comes to your. 00:35:56
Adult education program. 00:35:59
I'm a huge in favor of that one. 00:36:01
I am. You guys have done awesome all these years with it. 00:36:05
The SRS money has obviously helped you with that. 00:36:08
And so forth and so. 00:36:12
To really let that go by the wayside, I for one am not. 00:36:14
For that I just. 00:36:17
We need to find the money and. 00:36:19
And help keep you going and, and hope that something passes at the federal level that we can. 00:36:21
Get back on track in the next year or so. 00:36:27
A lot of people depend on that. 00:36:30
And and we. 00:36:32
For Gila County, it's. 00:36:33
It's a huge deal. 00:36:35
So thank you both for scrambling and doing what you've been able to do. 00:36:36
So far. Well, thank you, Mr. Klein, and I want you to know that it has. 00:36:41
I will say it. 00:36:46
Lit a fire under us because what we realized is. 00:36:47
You know, if you ask me something at the state level. 00:36:51
To go something, I need to lobby on something. 00:36:54
I know legislators, I know where they are. 00:36:58
I noticed the phone numbers. 00:37:01
Not a problem. 00:37:03
OK, I'll be right down there. 00:37:05
Something like this happens at the federal level. 00:37:07
I'm like, where do I go? Who do I? 00:37:11
Contact number. 00:37:14
Turns out there. 00:37:15
My colleague. 00:37:17
Said Widen, an Oregon Democrat. 00:37:19
And. 00:37:22
Crapo. 00:37:23
Republican from. 00:37:25
Idaho are are two key people, but I. 00:37:28
I think. 00:37:31
It is important for. 00:37:32
For all of us, and I know you guys. 00:37:33
To really become familiar with. 00:37:36
With what the structure is and who the potential champions are. 00:37:39
In the West. 00:37:44
And I was a little disappointed. 00:37:45
That we don't have a champion in Arizona. 00:37:48
None of the. 00:37:51
Sponsors of the legislation. 00:37:52
Arkham, Arizona. 00:37:55
Select. 00:37:56
I think I could do better. 00:37:58
I got to do better. 00:38:01
Yeah, we all have to do. 00:38:02
We. We do. 00:38:04
And it gets really hard to follow that and. 00:38:06
Up with it and. 00:38:09
I gotta say too, Roy, there's. 00:38:11
There's time, you know. 00:38:13
Who would think you'd? 00:38:15
You'd argue over something like SRS anyway. 00:38:16
But it's one of those deals, it's a, it's a leverage. 00:38:20
Yeah, the thing that. 00:38:25
They they use and. 00:38:29
Right, wrong or indifferent? 00:38:30
You know, whether I agree with it or not, that's what happens and. 00:38:31
And we see it, you know, we see it in DC. And, you know, you talk to this when you talk to that one. 00:38:35
I hate to say it, but a lot of times. 00:38:41
They're going to tell you what you want to hear. 00:38:43
But that ain't necessarily the case when you walk out the door. 00:38:45
Order and so. 00:38:47
It doesn't hit home. 00:38:49
For them. 00:38:50
That was just saying young. 00:38:51
That $30,000 or $40,000? 00:38:53
It doesn't sound like very much. 00:38:56
To them, but it's funding. 00:38:58
It's running partially 2 positions. 00:39:00
Or whatever the case may be, or. 00:39:04
Patient or globe? 00:39:05
That they don't have the latitude to get that money. 00:39:07
All the other money is accounted. 00:39:10
So it's, I think it's very difficult to. 00:39:12
Get that through to them. 00:39:16
It's just a tiny. 00:39:17
Bit to them, no big deal. 00:39:18
Right, right. I'm taking too much time and I thank you. 00:39:20
Well, Mr. Christensen? 00:39:23
Yeah, thanks for the presentation and. 00:39:25
I agree with the other two supervisors that we're going through a lean time right now. 00:39:29
We need to have this. 00:39:34
Available and I always understood that the elected official. 00:39:36
Is the one that makes up any shortfall. 00:39:40
In the budget. 00:39:43
That's you. 00:39:45
That's a joke. 00:39:48
I'll write a check. 00:39:49
Isn't it? Absolutely. 00:39:53
Going back to it, don't worry. 00:39:56
No SO. 00:39:59
This is our budget time. This is when we're deciding how. 00:40:02
And what we're going to do, and it sounds like we we want to. 00:40:06
So. 00:40:09
I think we'll we'll wait for. 00:40:10
What we're able to do for you. 00:40:14
Thank you and I will. 00:40:16
I will finish with this. 00:40:18
Hey, I am a realist. I mean, I've been. 00:40:19
A professional for many years now. 00:40:23
If the program. 00:40:25
Can't sustain. 00:40:28
There's no one to be mad at. 00:40:32
In Gila County, because everybody. 00:40:34
Including our university friends, everybody's in the same boat. 00:40:37
So I totally understand. 00:40:41
After this year, if it's not funded and we can't go another year. 00:40:44
We can't go another year. 00:40:49
Right, so. 00:40:50
Anyway, thank you so much. Well, let's hope that helps. 00:40:52
All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:40:54
All right, so very good. So. 00:40:56
We're going to now. 00:41:00
Go to our regular agenda items and like I said before. 00:41:02
We're going to switch to item 3X. 00:41:06

Yes. And so anyway with us today we have. 00:41:51
Faith Lowry a very dedicated and long serving. 00:41:54
Director for the Northern Hila County Fair. 00:41:58
Good morning, Faith. Do you have a few words you could? 00:42:00
In likeness with. 00:42:03
Absolutely. And I appreciate your. 00:42:06
I just want to share as a. 00:42:10
Not just for the Northern. 00:42:12
Two account here. It hasn't. 00:42:14
Parents and how? 00:42:17
The chair and the educational. 00:42:18
Is there for my children? 00:42:21
My oldest daughter is now. 00:42:23
Agriculture teacher and a rancher. 00:42:25
She has. 00:42:27
Throwing up here in Payson and she. 00:42:29
Participated in the fair. She was an officer with FFA. 00:42:32
And she learned a lot from. 00:42:36
From the opportunity to raise livestock. 00:42:39
And to run my speaker. 00:42:42
People shake people's hands. Run a business. 00:42:45
And my other daughter. 00:42:49
He is now serving in the military, being ready to be employed. 00:42:51
A big part for. 00:42:55
High school education. 00:42:56
Was not so much in the school, but with. 00:42:58
The buffet in the. 00:43:03
Programs. 00:43:05
Find all of my kids. I have 5 of them. 00:43:06
I've been very involved in here over the years. 00:43:08
We are 100% volunteer run. 00:43:11
So there is no money that goes anywhere. 00:43:14
But to preserving the fair and this year is 71 years. 00:43:17
So I feel very proud to be a part of it. 00:43:21
I thought that in this area and even a lot of our. 00:43:24
Olive Garden club here occasion is huge. 00:43:32
And they take time off to educate. 00:43:34
Our children for kids days, they have activities, hands on, teaching them how to. 00:43:38
And how? 00:43:43
And I'm always so happy with our kids, you know? 00:43:46
Where are their food cups from? 00:43:49
It's not very common anymore. 00:43:53
So I. 00:43:55
Bring our community together in a. 00:43:58
Program. 00:44:00
Come here. We are nonprofit and we. 00:44:02

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:47:56
The Board annually adopts this budget. 00:47:58
And also annually. 00:48:01
In the history of the time I've been with, Gila County has chosen not to levy a tax for this. 00:48:04
District. 00:48:10
But does annually state that? 00:48:11
The board has the option to. 00:48:14
Should they ever decide to. 00:48:16
Happy to answer any questions you may have. 00:48:19
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:48:21
No questions. 00:48:23
By the client. 00:48:24
I I really don't but. 00:48:27
Freshen our memory on this. 00:48:28
Particular line item here on this flood control that's $700,000. 00:48:30
I remember right. Was that for some staff? 00:48:35
Staffing's time like engineer time and things like that. Staff and time and if we have expenditures. 00:48:38
Related to. 00:48:44
Getting new rain gauges and things like that. 00:48:46
This is separate from. 00:48:48
Any like post fire flood mitigation that we would encounter that? 00:48:51
That runs through. 00:48:55
And two years ago, Mr. Memo helped me restructure. 00:48:57
Our reporting system so that we could break this out for you. 00:49:02
As its own fund. 00:49:06
To make it. 00:49:07
Clearer and so that. 00:49:08
When you or constituents or anyone on staff looks at the information, they can see exactly where this is. 00:49:11
Thank you for that, Marina. That's really why I asked us. All the people out there, they're listening to us. 00:49:17
Have an idea what it? 00:49:23
What this is actually for? So yes, the post fire flood. 00:49:24
Line item over the past couple of years has been more in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. 00:49:29
This is just for ongoing operations of flood control. 00:49:33
OK. 00:49:36
Thank you. 00:49:37
Yes, thank you. And with that, I'll call promotion out of freebie. 00:49:38
Mr. Chair moved to adopt the fiscal year 2526 tentative budget in the amount. 00:49:41
Of $737,503.00 for the helicopter. 00:49:47
County flood control District. 00:49:52
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. 00:49:53
Motion. I have a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:49:55
Aye, aye, aye. Thank you. 00:49:58
I now call for a motion to adjourn as the Gila County. 00:50:01
Or control district board of directors and convenience the Gila county St. lighting. 00:50:04
Improvement District board of directors. So move, Mr. Chair. 00:50:08
OK, motion and 2nd those in favor say aye. 00:50:12
Hi, alright. 00:50:15
Item 3C. Information discussion action. 00:50:17
To adopt the Phys. 00:50:20
Physically, you're 2526 tentative budgets. 00:50:22
For the Hila County St. Lighting Improvement District as follows. 00:50:25
The pine slid is. 00:50:28
$24190.00 Apache Hill Slid is 4000. 00:50:30
$23 The Upper Glendale Central Heights. 00:50:34
$1744. 00:50:38
Eastbury Park Slid is $5250. 00:50:40
Miami Gardens sled would be $3836. 00:50:44
Inland central Heights. 00:50:49
19,859. 00:50:51
Dollars and Claypool lower Miami's the 29,000. 00:50:53
$815.00. 00:50:57
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:51:00
So that. 00:51:02
We can refresh the public's memory as well as any of our staff. 00:51:03
This dollar amount is just to pay the APS bill. 00:51:08
For the streetlights in these lighting improvement districts. 00:51:12
There is no administrative cost. 00:51:15
Passed along to the. 00:51:18
Constituents, it is just. 00:51:19
The tax dollars come in, we use them to pay the APS bill. 00:51:21
Happy to answer any other questions you may have. 00:51:25
Great supervisor Humphrey. 00:51:27
So if we add streetlights, these numbers could change. 00:51:29
I believe that it would depend on whether they were within these districts. 00:51:34
Right, like it depends where you add the street light. 00:51:40
And if it increases the APS bill? 00:51:42
OK. 00:51:44
OK, Supervisor Clinton. 00:51:46
I'm good. Thank you, man. 00:51:48
Yes. So Marin how does this I mean are these? 00:51:49
He's a taxed revenues. 00:51:52
So and do they actually meet the APS? 00:51:56
Bill, do they exceed it? And what if APS increases their rate? 00:51:59
That's a really good question, Mr. Chair. 00:52:03
So each year we get from the assessor's office. 00:52:06
The assessed value of the properties in each of these. 00:52:09
Hot slits and each of these slids has its. 00:52:12
Own tax authority. 00:52:17
When we're preparing the budget, we look at. 00:52:19
Where we are year to date with the tax collection and the APS bill. 00:52:22
We project that both of those are going to do. 00:52:27
If it looks like we're going to come up short. 00:52:30
We add an additional amount to next year's tax to cover that shortfall and then. 00:52:32
To ensure that we don't have a shortfall in the following year. 00:52:38
If it looks like for some reason we're going to be over. 00:52:41
Or if the. 00:52:44
The taxable value of. 00:52:46
Properties exceeds. 00:52:48
Or increases faster than. 00:52:50
The APS bill increases when the rate would come down. 00:52:52
And. 00:52:55
Attached to this agenda item. 00:52:57
You can see the year to year comparison on those rates. 00:53:00
For each of the. 00:53:04
Slid and. 00:53:05
For example, a pine slid is going. 00:53:09
Up a little bit. 00:53:11
East birdie slid coming down a little bit. 00:53:13
Miami Gardens is going up a little bit. 00:53:16
Apache Hills is going up. 00:53:19
Upper Glendale is coming down. 00:53:22
Fractional scent. 00:53:25
Midland City Central Heights is going up. 00:53:27
And the clay pool slid is also going up. 00:53:31
That is primarily due to. 00:53:34
Property values not keeping pace with. 00:53:36
The APS bills. 00:53:39
I see. 00:53:40
OK, very good that answers that and. 00:53:41
So with that, I'll call for motion. 00:53:44
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt the physical years. 00:53:47
25. 00:53:49
26 Candidate budget for the. 00:53:51
Gila County St. Lighting and. 00:53:53
Improvement District as followed. 00:53:55
Hines slid $2490.00. Apache Heel slid 4000. 00:53:58
$23 Upper Glendale Central Heights, 1700 and. 00:54:04
44 E Verde Park slid. 5250 Miami Gardens slid. 00:54:09
3836. 00:54:15
Midland City. 00:54:18
Our our Midland. 00:54:20
Central heights slid. 00:54:22
19,800 and. 00:54:23
$59. 00:54:25
And Claypool or Miami slid 29,000. 00:54:27
$815.00. 00:54:31
And I will second that, Mister. OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:54:33
I thank you Mary. We got one more for you 3D information, discussion, action. 00:54:39

Of the summary budget and set the public hearing. 00:55:56
For July 22nd, 25. 00:55:59
To adopt the. 00:56:01
Final fiscal year 2025. 00:56:02
2026 Hila County budget. 00:56:05
Mayor, thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:56:06
Good morning. 00:56:09
Chairman Christensen. Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor Klein. 00:56:11
I've taken my watch off so that. 00:56:16
Can keep track of how much of your time I am taking up this morning. 00:56:18
And I just discovered that while the. 00:56:23
Laser pointer works. 00:56:25
It does not work on our screens. 00:56:27
So I will trust you to. 00:56:29
Follow along. 00:56:31
As you know, there are numerous pressures. 00:56:34
On Gila County's budget this year. 00:56:36
It is. 00:56:39
Mystery that things are. 00:56:40
Tenuous at the state and federal level. 00:56:43
We have done our absolute. 00:56:46
Best to take every. 00:56:48
Possible contingency into consideration. 00:56:50
Which is why this year compared to last year. 00:56:53
We have. 00:56:57
An 11 and a half million dollar increase in our budgeted ask. 00:56:59
To you. 00:57:03
You can see that. 00:57:05
On Schedule A. 00:57:07
Before I get to that, I do want to. 00:57:09
Remind both the board and staff and our constituents. 00:57:12
Who are listening or who may listen to this recording in the future? 00:57:16
That we took. 00:57:19
5 guiding principles into account while preparing this budget. 00:57:20
The key. 00:57:27
Overriding principle that we always take into consideration. 00:57:29
Is maintaining our property tax rate at 4:19? 00:57:33
We have done that this year. 00:57:37
It only gives us an additional $314,000 in revenue. 00:57:39
So when you hear, for example, from the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. 00:57:45
That their budget got cut by 340. 00:57:51
$1000. 00:57:53
Right, that's, that's all, all the extra we have. 00:57:55
In the general fund. 00:57:58
This whole year. 00:57:59
So that is a. 00:58:01
Painful number. 00:58:03
I'm usually it's much higher than that. 00:58:04
The second consideration we took into account was making sure we had a balanced budget. 00:58:07
That includes being. 00:58:12
Mindful of the. 00:58:14
Economic Estimates Commission. 00:58:16
Expenditure limit. 00:58:19
Which only went up. 00:58:21
$1,450,000 this year. 00:58:23
Our third key principle is infrastructure maintenance. 00:58:26
The fourth key principle is staffing. 00:58:30
And then your fifth key principle is. 00:58:33
Reserves. 00:58:36
As you know. 00:58:37
With the pressures that are on us from state and federal resources. 00:58:39
Having reserves is important. 00:58:43
Maintaining them for future economic stability. 00:58:45
Is equally important. 00:58:48
Within the PowerPoint presentation. 00:58:52
We have Schedule A, which is the summary schedule of estimated revenues and expenditures or expenses. 00:58:54
For fiscal year 2026. 00:59:01
This shows how the various funds. 00:59:03
Roll up. 00:59:06
For financial statement presentation. 00:59:07
And this is a good. 00:59:10
Place to point out. 00:59:11
For clarification purposes. 00:59:13
When we say something as general fund. 00:59:15
There are times that what we mean is it rolls up into the general fund for financial statement. 00:59:18
So when we fund something out of. 00:59:25
The county wide. 00:59:28
Portion of constituent funds, not the. 00:59:29
District specific. 00:59:32
Constituent funds. 00:59:33
It's called General Fund for financial statement reporting purposes. 00:59:35
That's in case the auditor goes back and listens to this. 00:59:39
Audio. 00:59:42
And wants clarification on what we meant by that. 00:59:43
And so. 00:59:46
We prepare this schedule every year. 00:59:47
And this is where we show. 00:59:49
In the bottom right hand corner there and. 00:59:52
Where the things are pointer would really come in handy. 00:59:54
That. 00:59:57
That we have. 00:59:58
In this 158,297,158 dollars. 01:00:00
We have made sure. 01:00:05
That for 2026 you will be within. 01:00:07
The Economic estimates Commission Expenditure limitation. 01:00:11
Of 53 million. 01:00:15
$43,334. 01:00:16
On the next slide. 01:00:24
You've seen this before. It was attached to the SLID, the libraries, and the flood control district. 01:00:25
This is. 01:00:31
Our 2026. 01:00:32
Posed tax levy and tax rate information. 01:00:34
This information will be in the Pace and Roundup. 01:00:38
The clerk's office has been super, super supportive in making sure that we hit all of our deadlines and get things done timely. 01:00:41
So our truth and taxation. 01:00:48
Notices are ready to go. We sent them to the clerk's office. 01:00:51
This time with all the correct information. 01:00:55
And they reflect this information. 01:00:58
Which includes, as stated before, $314,000. 01:01:01
More in primary property tax. 01:01:07
And then the increase in your library district tax which would remain. 01:01:10
The rate will remain flat. 01:01:15
They have. 01:01:18
Just over $18,000 in additional tax because of the way the. 01:01:20
Assessments worked out. 01:01:25
So going on to revenues. 01:01:33
What we've put together here, because there's an awful lot of detail. 01:01:36
In Gila County's revenue streams. 01:01:40
We have put together for you. 01:01:42
So that you have. 01:01:44
Something sort of pocket. 01:01:47
How? 01:01:49
Our property taxes. 01:01:50
Our excise tax. 01:01:52
Our licenses and permits, our intergovernmental. 01:01:53
Agreements and grants. 01:01:56
Are charges for services and other fees. 01:01:58
All come together to. 01:02:01
Get your general fund total revenue. 01:02:03
And as you can see there, 54% of the general fund revenue. 01:02:06
Comes from property taxes. 01:02:11
Beyond the General fund, this also includes General Fund. 01:02:14
So when we look at all revenues. 01:02:18
The General Fund makes up 50% of your overall revenue budget on the next slide. 01:02:20
Public Works makes up 9%. 01:02:27
Special revenue funds make up 32%. 01:02:29
Permanent funds make up 5% and then enterprise funds make up. 01:02:33
4%. 01:02:37
Our primary expenditure areas are operations, capital and reserves. 01:02:41
Our 2026 expenditure limit is 53 million. 01:02:49
$43,334. 01:02:54
Which is an increase. 01:02:56
Of 1,450,000. 01:02:59
$39.00 from the previous year. 01:03:02
When we look at. 01:03:07
Operating costs affect the budget. 01:03:09
We have our general government in that large purple. 01:03:12
Section of 34%. 01:03:16
Facilities at 2%. 01:03:18
Health and Community Services at 10%. 01:03:20
Public safety and courts at 30% and then public works at 34%. 01:03:23
At the national and international. 01:03:31
Discussion level for budgeting. 01:03:34
There has been a trend called priority based budgeting. 01:03:36
It has a drawback. 01:03:40
But so that you have it for. 01:03:43
Conversations and so that we. 01:03:46
Can show that we are taking it into consideration. 01:03:48
We have developed this. 01:03:51
The slide for you. 01:03:53
In priority based budgeting we have. 01:03:56
Broken out four. 01:03:58
Major priorities. 01:04:00
The largest being public health, safety, economic security. 01:04:02
Access, equity and justice. 01:04:07
Which is the large chunk of our services. 01:04:09
Which makes up 47% of our budget. 01:04:12
We have 5% that is workforce development and retention. 01:04:15
We've got just about 1/4. 01:04:21
Quarter for our infrastructure. 01:04:22
And another quarter for. 01:04:26
High-performing governance. 01:04:27
I feel like I'm interrupting somebody's conversation. 01:04:30
That is all we have for you today. 01:04:36
I know that your time is valuable. 01:04:39
So is our constituents time, so we're happy to answer any questions you have. 01:04:41
We are happy to discuss this further. 01:04:45
We have not. 01:04:48
Yet put together a salary plan for you. 01:04:49
Because there are. 01:04:53
There are just too many unknowns at this point. 01:04:54
We will bring a salary plan to you separately. We have capacity for it in this budget. 01:04:57
Come here and Supervisor Humphrey. 01:05:04
I have no questions. 01:05:09
I just want to thank you very, very much. 01:05:11
All the work that. 01:05:14
You guys. 01:05:15
Put into our budget. 01:05:16
And and keeping us. 01:05:18
Above board because of our counties that do operate. 01:05:20
On on below board. 01:05:25
And so it it's, it's important. 01:05:27
To me that you. 01:05:31
That you're doing a. 01:05:33
A great job of keeping us. 01:05:34
Within where we need to be, whether? 01:05:36
We like it or not. 01:05:39
And so I thank you very much. 01:05:41
That was very diplomatically put. Thank you, supervisor. And I do have to say that all of your department has really had a huge 01:05:43
hand in this. 01:05:47
Up until about a week and a half ago. 01:05:51
We had department heads trying to. 01:05:53
Carve down what they had asked for. 01:05:56
To make sure that they were being responsible. 01:05:59
And good stewards of the resources available to them and that. 01:06:02
Really is a testament to your leadership. 01:06:05
That they proactively do that. 01:06:08
Without being asked. 01:06:10
Well, thank them very much as well. 01:06:13
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:06:15
Chairman, I think Mr. Menlove wanted to say something and I'll chime in after all right, Mr. Mendlas. 01:06:18
At some point it did. 01:06:24
As Marin indicated that the. 01:06:26
There's not a payroll plan at this point in time. 01:06:29
Because. 01:06:32
Mirren, in our discussions has been struggling to. 01:06:33
Find a way to give a meaningful. 01:06:37
Salary increase to our employees. 01:06:39
And with the. 01:06:41
And I'm kind of. 01:06:43
Non committal today a request for. 01:06:45
Adult education for. 01:06:49
4H and different things like that because we're to the point. 01:06:52
And Meredith indicated. 01:06:55
The property tax increase, typically that's about a million and a half dollars, so that increases. 01:06:57
About 20% of what what it typically is. 01:07:02
So our property tax. 01:07:05
Increases for whatever reason. 01:07:07
Fell drastically short this year. 01:07:10
And what that means is we typically base our salary increases off of. 01:07:12
What we have in new funding from property. 01:07:17
From property tax revenue. 01:07:19
There is not there this year. 01:07:21
And then if we continue to further erode that. 01:07:23
Allocation of $300,000 for property taxes. 01:07:25
That's why I indicated that we could have the discussion, because at this point and in this. 01:07:31
Coming year. 01:07:35
We definitely have to establish stronger priorities. 01:07:37
I'm saying OK. 01:07:40
We're not going to give our employees salary increases this year because we're going to. 01:07:42
Allocate those dollars. 01:07:46
Through these various other things you got to request. 01:07:48
4H various program and I'm not going to decry. 01:07:51
I'm not trying to say that these are not great programs are great for our youth. 01:07:54
Great for our adults and. 01:07:58
Really good things that we've been able to do. 01:08:00
We're going to have to prioritize. 01:08:03
And say this is what? 01:08:05
Is most important of these apps. 01:08:07
And that's not what this meeting is for today. 01:08:10
That's for Marin, her team and all of us to have that discussion. 01:08:14
Of establishing the priorities. 01:08:19
To be able to allocate the limited. 01:08:23
Resources. 01:08:26
The county has. 01:08:26
So I I did want to. 01:08:29
Say that. 01:08:31
There are limited and are. 01:08:34
Our sales tax revenues and other saw that. 01:08:36
Our property taxes 50% of our general fund revenue. 01:08:38
50% of revenues countrywide. 01:08:41
That is the most significant thing we have. 01:08:43
Sales tax again, it is. 01:08:47
It's kind of. 01:08:51
A little bit flat this last fiscal year as well. 01:08:53
There's not been significant increases like we've had in the past. 01:08:55
Yeah, well, so. 01:08:59
Tough decisions. It's going to be a really tough budget year. 01:09:01
And we are looking for your input to see if we can do anything at all for our employees. 01:09:04
Because it's. 01:09:09
Very tight. 01:09:11
Super Kline. 01:09:15
Thank you, James. 01:09:17
So I could tell by your. 01:09:20
Conversation this morning, there's some. 01:09:22
Concerns, uh. 01:09:24
I think that's the first time in eight years I've seen that. 01:09:25
This is the first time in eight years that we have had to struggle. 01:09:29
To fit. 01:09:34
Everybody's needs into. 01:09:35
The budget. 01:09:37
So tell me about our spinach limits. 01:09:39
And where we're headed with that? 01:09:43
The expenditure limit was set. 01:09:45
In 1979, nineteen 80 fiscal year by the economic. 01:09:47
Economic Estimates Commission. 01:09:51
And it was. 01:09:54
Intended. 01:09:55
To ensure that your primary property tax holders were not responsible for. 01:09:57
Outlandish expenditures. 01:10:02
The way that this increase. 01:10:05
Has gone. 01:10:07
It is. 01:10:09
Only. 01:10:09
Uh, compared to last year? 01:10:12
It is about 1,000,000 1/2 more. 01:10:15
Whereas your budget has grown. 01:10:18
By 11 and a half million. 01:10:21
So it's keeping. 01:10:23
It's about 10% of your increase. 01:10:25
So as we build the budget, we evaluate the expenditures. 01:10:28
To see whether they are. 01:10:32
Within the expenditure limit rules, meaning that the expenditure limit applies to them. 01:10:35
Or if they don't. 01:10:41
Things that do not come under the expenditure limit are. 01:10:44
One time federal funds. 01:10:48
State grants. 01:10:49
Intergovernmental agreements. 01:10:51
Such as how? 01:10:54
Later today you will see the Pinell Mountain. 01:10:55
Or Pinal County. 01:10:58
Medical Examiner's. 01:10:59
Contract that we have for autopsies. 01:11:01
That amount is excluded. 01:11:04
In the last couple of years, the Auditor General's office has made some decisions that have adversely affected our expenditure 01:11:08
limit. 01:11:11
Key among them being. 01:11:16
The opioid settlement for the one Arizona. 01:11:18
Funding. 01:11:22
That is not excludable and it's going to be about $1,000,000. 01:11:23
In the next fiscal. 01:11:27
The other thing that they have determined is that. 01:11:30
While in the past we were able to take. 01:11:33
All the expenditures. 01:11:35
For the half cent excise tax. 01:11:37
And exclude them. 01:11:39
Now they are only allowing us to exclude. 01:11:41
Specific capital expenditures. 01:11:44
For the building. 01:11:46
Of roads, not the maintenance. 01:11:48
Of them so all of a sudden chip seal. 01:11:51
Falls under. 01:11:55
Your expenditure limit. 01:11:56
That made about a three and a half million dollar. 01:11:57
Difference the first year. 01:12:00
That they implemented it, and they implemented it after we had. 01:12:01
Gone through that year's budget. 01:12:05
So those two things. 01:12:08
Give you a shift of about four and a half million dollars. 01:12:11
That used to be excludable. 01:12:15
Or would be excludable, but isn't. 01:12:17
According to the auditor General's. 01:12:19
Decisions. 01:12:21
The other thing that we're encountering in 2026? 01:12:23
As we go into 2027. 01:12:27
Is that December 31st of 2026? 01:12:30
Will be the end of all. 01:12:33
The federal COVID money. 01:12:35
ARPA and LATCF. 01:12:37
Will no longer be able to be expended after that. 01:12:39
Those funds are excludable from your expenditure limit because they're federal funds. 01:12:42
So basically everything we do with general fund. 01:12:48
Is affected by the expenditure limit. 01:12:53
And that is something that we take into consideration very seriously. 01:12:55
I have driven poor Mr. Menlove absolutely crazy. 01:13:00
Every time we've been at a conference or in the truck and I've been like. 01:13:04
What about this? And what about that? And what about the other thing? 01:13:07
To the point that I prefer. 01:13:11
Opposed to Mr. Menlo. 01:13:12
And because he's a gentleman, he didn't. 01:13:14
Laugh at me. 01:13:16
I propose that we. 01:13:17
Pay extra on. 01:13:19
Bond because the bond money is excludable. 01:13:21
If I pay $1,000,000 toward the bond, I can take it off the bottom of the expenditure limit. 01:13:25
That would free up capacity. 01:13:30
Somewhere else. 01:13:33
So that's one of the harebrained schemes that. 01:13:35
That is built into this just in case. 01:13:38
That if we need capacity. 01:13:41
Or if. 01:13:43
TSPRS underperforms and all of a sudden we have to fund that. 01:13:44
Because that's not excludable either. 01:13:49
That we have that capacity building. 01:13:51
It's been a wild ride. 01:13:55
So it's hard for a lot of people to understand what you just said. Yeah, I realized that as I was saying it, and somebody should 01:13:57
have opened the floor and let me fall through. 01:14:00
No, but I'm I'm glad you. 01:14:05
Gave he that still man because. 01:14:07
It's going to catch us sooner than later. 01:14:10
Basically what you're saying. 01:14:12
And so. 01:14:14
You know, as a. 01:14:15
Is the Asila county in all of. 01:14:16
Our years of being on this board and stuff. 01:14:18
We we forced ahead with a lot of projects. 01:14:20
A lot of accomplishments. 01:14:24
We've we've spent a lot of money. 01:14:27
And. 01:14:29
We have yet to raise property taxes. 01:14:30
And that's something that I am very serious about not ever doing. 01:14:33
Long time in this. 01:14:36
So I would think. 01:14:38
Um, somewhere after. 01:14:41
After this. 01:14:43
Budget is set in place and. 01:14:43
But not for our. 01:14:46
Our next budget season. 01:14:47
We probably have to have those discussions. 01:14:49
Mr. James about. 01:14:52
You know where we're going to pull up the drawstrings here and what are we going to do to tighten up our belts to? 01:14:54
To do this or that so. 01:15:00
Thank you both for the amount of work you've done on. 01:15:04
On everything and. 01:15:07
And we'll get through this one. 01:15:09
We'll we'll make it through this one. 01:15:11
But the next one could be. 01:15:13
A lot tougher. 01:15:15
The way I look at it. 01:15:16
Yeah, which is why we're. 01:15:17
We're being modeling today. 01:15:20
So that it's not shocking next year. 01:15:22
Yeah, yeah. Let's hope we can cushion that shock. 01:15:25
So, but again, thank you both and your staff and everybody that's worked on this. I, I truly appreciate all that so. 01:15:29
Thank you. 01:15:36
Yes, Thank you, Mayor. 01:15:38
I have a couple of questions SO. 01:15:40
Just to be clear. So this is kind of for everyone listening. 01:15:43
If the budget is 100. 01:15:47
58. 01:15:48
Million, roughly. That doesn't mean we're going to be spending that much. It's just. 01:15:49
The preparation in case. 01:15:53
We need to spend that much. 01:15:55
Absolutely. That's a really good question, Mr. Chair, and actually it's probably something I should build into. 01:15:57
Our presentation. 01:16:02
For budget purposes. 01:16:04
We budget for every possible dollar. 01:16:06
As both a revenue and an expense. 01:16:09
We also have to budget like we're going to spend all of our reserves. 01:16:12
We would not do that. 01:16:16
But we have to budget that way. 01:16:17
That way you have the authority to. 01:16:19
Move forward with. 01:16:22
Operating the county in a way that makes sense. Both counties. 01:16:25
My next question is approximately how much reserves do we have? 01:16:30
Right now you have $15 million. 01:16:34
OK. And so? 01:16:36
That is budgeted to span. 01:16:38
But it is reserved money. 01:16:41
It's not reflected in our income. 01:16:43
Statements and all this that you represent, it's it's. 01:16:45
It's budgeted as. 01:16:48
Reserve and reserve. 01:16:49
So we know what's there and we're saying we're going to keep it in reserve. 01:16:52
Now, as part of that figure, the reserve numbers. 01:16:55
Heard that The Pleasant Valley. 01:16:58
$3,000,000. 01:17:00
No, Sir, that is a. 01:17:02
That's designated funds. 01:17:04
OK, those are. 01:17:06
Those are different, and those because they were given to us for a specific purpose. 01:17:08
Those are held aside for that specific purpose. 01:17:12
Similarly, the remaining balance in. 01:17:15
ARPA and LATF. 01:17:18
While they are. 01:17:21
Fund specific. They are not a portion of your $15 million reserve. 01:17:22
OK. And so also the 4.19% that we charge? 01:17:27
On property taxes, is generating if I. 01:17:31
Understand the figures you've given us. 01:17:34
Somewhere in the $27 million range. 01:17:36
Not counting the secondary. 01:17:39
Property taxes. 01:17:42
So in 2025. 01:17:45
So if you look, I can go back to that slide that way. 01:17:48
I don't think I can zoom it in. 01:17:51
But this way, the public can see where we're. 01:17:52
Looking and they should be able to zoom in on their. 01:17:55
On their computers. 01:17:59
OK, so the. 01:18:00
First column here on the left. 01:18:02
Line 3A. 01:18:05
Primary property taxes. 01:18:07
For fiscal year 2025. 01:18:09
With $27,881,571. 01:18:12
For 2026. 01:18:17
That amount? 01:18:19
With the same 4. 01:18:20
.19. 01:18:21
Is $28,195,617. 01:18:23
And the difference between the 314,000? 01:18:27
OK. And so? 01:18:31
That's how much we're collecting in property taxes. 01:18:32
And our budget is 158 million. 01:18:35
I think that's a distinction people should see that we're making up the difference with. 01:18:39
Grants and. 01:18:44
Other avenues of revenue that. 01:18:47
That's what makes it tough. 01:18:51
And so for any consideration of increase for the property tax. 01:18:53
In order to make a significant difference in the budget. 01:18:58
Would have to be a significant increase. 01:19:02
In the 4.19%. 01:19:05
To even reflect. 01:19:08
In a minor way toward the 158 million. 01:19:11
And you would. 01:19:15
It would. It would fall within the expenditure limit requirement. 01:19:17
It wouldn't. 01:19:22
Right. So you wouldn't get more room in your expenditure limit even if. 01:19:23
Property tax were to go up. 01:19:26
OK. 01:19:28
I don't know how clear it is on the computer screen. 01:19:30
But if you look at that. 01:19:33
The same slide. 01:19:35
In your slide deck that I. 01:19:36
I believe that you have printed in your binders. 01:19:38
We do show at the top the maximum allowable primary property tax levy. 01:19:41
And you'll note there that. 01:19:47
That's actually decreased. 01:19:48
Than last year. 01:19:50
Right. 01:19:51
And the difference being and if we went to maximum property tax, that's what you're saying? 01:19:52
Which is what, 8% or 7 something or? 01:19:57
That we would only increase our budget by. 01:20:02
Or only increase our revenue? 01:20:05
15,000,000 or less. 01:20:07
Yeah, so not even that much money. 01:20:10
Right. And we would actually be down. 01:20:13
What is that 1,000,003? 01:20:16
And it would make housing just. 01:20:18
The taxes. 01:20:22
Unaffordable so. 01:20:23
Yes. So it's important to all of us. 01:20:24
And you all expressed that in. 01:20:28
January and February when we first met. 01:20:30
And I want to make sure your constituents know this. 01:20:34
The first thing each each of the three of you said when we sat down to talk about the budget because. 01:20:37
We have to meet separately. 01:20:42
Hey Cortana, open meeting. 01:20:43
Each one of the three of you said. 01:20:46
Property taxes are staying at 4:19. 01:20:49
Right now, no questions asked, that was the. 01:20:52
First instruction. 01:20:55
Which is why it's the first priority. 01:20:57
That we list here. 01:21:00
It's super important that our constituents be aware. 01:21:02
That that is. 01:21:06
The number one guiding principle that we take into consideration in this development. 01:21:08
So we need more building. 01:21:13
More houses, more. 01:21:14
Taxable properties. 01:21:18
That would help with it. 01:21:21
I believe Supervisor Humphrey also has some really excellent. 01:21:23
Approaches to getting things back on the tax roll. 01:21:26
That are already built. 01:21:29
And just need to be rehabbed and. 01:21:31
Have responsible property owners. 01:21:33
Right. Yeah, there's a lot of things. 01:21:35
That can increase that one. 01:21:39
If we, if I may, Mr. Chair, yes, Sir. 01:21:41
On the. 01:21:44
Working on the. 01:21:46
Mobile homes. 01:21:47
Or things of that. 01:21:49
We're we're working on. 01:21:50
Changing our. 01:21:53
On whether we can. 01:21:55
Work with people living in. 01:21:57
Mobile homes or? 01:21:59
Or not. 01:22:01
And I had like fifth wheels and trailers. 01:22:03
And then how would that? 01:22:07
How would that property value be assessed? Because. 01:22:09
If you got a $250,000 house. 01:22:12
And you got the same property next to that house, but you got a fifth wheel on it. 01:22:15
They're not getting charged. 01:22:19
The same taxes to live there. 01:22:20
As the person in the home is so at some point. 01:22:22
When we get. 01:22:26
Further. 01:22:27
With our. 01:22:28
Zoning on how we're going to do that, which we started working on and we dropped it all. 01:22:30
To go to. 01:22:34
On the short term rentals because that was a real hot firecracker so. 01:22:36
Anyway, that would also help our fire departments and everything else because they're getting their funding. 01:22:40
Off of the taxes and there's a lot of properties out there that don't have homes on them. 01:22:46
That we're not getting this. 01:22:51
The assessed value that we would. 01:22:54
As a whole. 01:22:56
And also too instead of. 01:22:57
The 4.1 taxes. 01:22:59
But uh. 01:23:02
You know, you know. 01:23:02
We've had some issues with the. 01:23:03
Assessor's office and so. 01:23:08
I you know, I would be curious to wonder where we are in assessed value. 01:23:11
Of the homes that we have that the 4.19. 01:23:15
Is charged to SO. 01:23:19
Anyway, yeah, there's a lot of different things that can go forward. 01:23:22
You know. 01:23:27
Some of the rehab houses that we're working on. 01:23:29
I would like working on a bill to be able to. 01:23:32
Get some of these homes. 01:23:37
Back on the tax. 01:23:38
That are. 01:23:40
Investors have hundreds. 01:23:42
Of properties that. 01:23:44
They're getting a central tax tube that nobody can live in them. 01:23:47
And so if we. 01:23:53
Could make them more responsible for the properties. 01:23:54
That they are holding as a investor. 01:23:57
To make them responsible for the. 01:24:02
For the properties. 01:24:05
So yeah, there's a lot of things we can do to work on to help the value of properties. 01:24:07
And what properties that we have? 01:24:12
And he'll come, but. 01:24:15
It's a step at a time, and it's a. 01:24:17
It's a It's a long process. 01:24:20
But umm. 01:24:22
I guess thank you for. 01:24:25
For for pointing that. 01:24:27
To me to point out. 01:24:29
That's a. It's one of those. 01:24:32
Opportunities that we can all collaborate. 01:24:35
To move forward and strengthen our economic base. 01:24:38
Mr. Chairman. 01:24:43
Thank you Sir, and I'm pretty. 01:24:45
That's all important and critical for us to do that. 01:24:47
Did want to point out. 01:24:50
That you have a board as a Board of Supervisors. How conservative you've been. 01:24:52
Through the years. 01:24:56
And at $4.19, there's a couple reasons that that is. 01:24:57
At that right. 01:25:01
Mostly because we have 3 1/2 percent. 01:25:02
Of all the land. 01:25:04
Healy County is private, that's all. It's taxable. It's 3 1/2% of the land. 01:25:06
That's what drives the. 01:25:11
$4.19 tax rate. 01:25:13
We could if we were consistent with what? 01:25:16
The base year was in 19791980. 01:25:19
That tax rate that's been. 01:25:22
Talked about just. 01:25:24
A little bit. 01:25:25
It could be almost $7.00. 01:25:26
Instead of 419 it could be 6 1/2 dollars. 01:25:28
You're about 50%. 01:25:32
Reduced. 01:25:33
From what it was back in that base year. 01:25:34
Again, reiterating what you as a Porter through by how conservative you are and how watchful. 01:25:38
You have been in spending. 01:25:43
And expenditures through years to keep that down. 01:25:45
Keep it. 01:25:48
Minimal. As minimal as possible. 01:25:48
And yet effectively run county government. 01:25:51
So I just, I want to point that out for the record that. 01:25:53
You do take this. 01:25:57
As a keeping it as absolutely minimum as possible as conservative. 01:25:58
As possible with our finances. 01:26:03
And try to not overburden. 01:26:05
Taxpayers. 01:26:08
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 01:26:09
Thank you. Anything else? 01:26:10
Mr. Chair, from my point. 01:26:12
Out something right here on these priorities is a. 01:26:14
Infrastructure maintenance. 01:26:17
That's huge when you're spread out as far as we are. 01:26:19
We have a lot of buildings. 01:26:23
We were scattered from here to. 01:26:25
To patient and so that. 01:26:29
That takes a big hit. I know it does, and a lot of our buildings are. 01:26:31
Or fairly old. 01:26:35
Not that we can replace them because. 01:26:37
You know, buildings. Expensive, but. 01:26:39
That is something right there that I know. 01:26:42
Gives us a big hit. 01:26:46
Every year. 01:26:48
Is that and. 01:26:49
So I would just say going forward it. 01:26:51
It would be nice to. 01:26:53
Have a scheduled meeting or work session, whatever you. 01:26:54
It is that we can all sit down and talk about. 01:26:57
About these different issues, because there are several of them. 01:27:01
And get ready. 01:27:04
For the next go round. 01:27:07
Yeah, other than that. 01:27:10
We've we've come a long way. Somehow we've had. 01:27:12
I believe we made a big difference and there's a lot more we could do if we have the. 01:27:15
Resources to do it and I really want to. 01:27:21
To all of our department heads, thank you for the job they've done. 01:27:23
I know me personally, I've had arguments with several of you over different things here and there. 01:27:27
But. 01:27:32
That's all part of it. 01:27:33
But it's been a good job that everybody's come forth and. 01:27:34
Hold it together and. 01:27:37
And worked on SO. 01:27:39
I appreciate that. 01:27:41
If I may, just to clarify, infrastructure maintenance also includes roads. 01:27:42
Bridges, culverts, things of that nature. 01:27:47
In addition to the buildings. 01:27:50
And that and that. And you're absolutely right, Marin, and you know that. 01:27:54
We take on a lot of other responsibilities, whether it's federal roads or whatever that we maintain. 01:27:59
I mean, it's all part of the big package. 01:28:04
And that's where. 01:28:06
I think it would really be good when we really delve into it to. 01:28:07
Take a good hard look at everything we're scattered out doing. 01:28:11
OK. If there's nothing else, then I'll call for a motion on. 01:28:17
Alternative budget item 3D. 01:28:20
Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt the physical year 20. 01:28:23

Information, discussion, action. 01:30:39
Arizona Department of. 01:30:41
Administration, Arizona. 01:30:42
911 Program grant agreement number. 01:30:44
AD0AA Z 911-2609. 01:30:47
Between the Arizona Department of Administration and the Yellow County. 01:30:52
Sheriff's Office in the amount of. 01:30:55
$209,439 for the performance period. 01:30:57
July 125 through June 3026. 01:31:01
Good morning. 01:31:04
Good morning. 01:31:05
Mr. Chair, members of the Board. 01:31:06
This year's grant was submitted. 01:31:08
On behalf of the Hugh County Sheriff's Office and the Payson. 01:31:11
Police Department peace apps. 01:31:15
And the basic grant. 01:31:17
Was for. 01:31:21
Operational funding. 01:31:23
For the two ECC's or emergency communication centers. 01:31:25
AT16278, which covers. 01:31:29
The ESI net. 01:31:32
Or public safety communications. 01:31:34
And. 01:31:36
The in-house equipment to the computers that. 01:31:38
We use to answer 911 phone calls. 01:31:41
We also submitted 3 projects, 2 for Hula County and one for PCPD. 01:31:44
The grant was a. 01:31:50
Approved it. 01:31:51
May and the only project that was. 01:31:53
Approved was for Payson PD and essentially that was. 01:31:57
A renewal of. 01:32:02
The grant that they. 01:32:04
Or the award that they got last year for a recorder, they were unable to complete their project and so they just moved that money 01:32:05
from last year to this year. 01:32:09
So in the end, we have our. 01:32:14
Operational funding. 01:32:19
The project for patient D. 01:32:21
And then the administrative costs would come to 209,000. 01:32:24
$439. 01:32:28
And with that, I'll take any questions. 01:32:30
This one is Supervisor Humphrey. 01:32:32
I have no questions other than thank you for running that program. That's got to be difficult to. 01:32:34
Take those 911 calls. 01:32:40
I guess part of it would be rewarding for being able to help, but. 01:32:43
It would be difficult to be the one that's. 01:32:47
To help, it's rewarding for me to be able to help. 01:32:50
These dispatchers, I've never been a dispatcher. 01:32:53
And I honestly think this is one of the hardest jobs. 01:32:56
Aside from being. 01:33:00
A police officer. A deputy. 01:33:03
Or a surgeon. 01:33:06
But honestly, this is one of the hardest jobs. 01:33:07
I think I've ever seen in my life. 01:33:11
And it's getting. 01:33:12
It's not getting any easier because of all the. 01:33:13
The uh. 01:33:15
Technology that's coming on. 01:33:17
The technology is supposed to make it easier, but you have to learn the technology. 01:33:18
So yeah. 01:33:22
It's it's a lot sometimes. 01:33:23
Well, thank you very much. 01:33:25
As supervisor client. 01:33:27
Deborah, thank you. 01:33:28
Appreciate it. 01:33:29
Thank you very much. With that, I'll call for a motion. 01:33:30
Mr. Chair, I move to approve grant agreement number ADOA. 01:33:33
Dash AZ911 Dash. 01:33:38
26 That's 09 between the Arizona Department. 01:33:40

Mr. Gerald. 01:33:48
OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 01:33:50
Aye, aye. Thank you very much. 01:33:54

For a contract total not to exceed $64,515. 01:34:22
$0.74 Good morning, Paula. How are you? 01:34:28
Good morning, Chairman, members of the Board. 01:34:32
Morning almost, right? 01:34:34
Good afternoon. 01:34:36
I made it through the morning, so I wanted to give you a little background on this. This is through our Community Services 01:34:38
program. 01:34:41
And actually, I have one of my experts. 01:34:45
In the onions and she is actually one that works in our weatherization and re. 01:34:47
Rehab Services. 01:34:52
With the Community Development Block Grant. 01:34:54
So and we want to thank. 01:34:57
Finance for actually helping us with this, but we did do a walk through. 01:34:59
A property here in this area. 01:35:04
It's in a historical area and actually a historical. 01:35:07
Cool, so. 01:35:11
They walked through and actually we had two bids and then. 01:35:13
With lead. 01:35:18
In the home it takes a little bit different restoration for lead. 01:35:19
So obviously one of our bidders had to drop out, so we were down to actually the one bid. 01:35:24
That actually came in and actually lead is very expensive. 01:35:30
To to restore and you'll notice in the budget that was one of the. 01:35:34
Items that was. 01:35:39
And in the older homes, you're going to have lead. 01:35:41
So that is one of the things that we do have to go through with our program. 01:35:44
I wanted to also tell you that there will be a lien on the property. 01:35:49
The home is located in an area that. 01:35:55
Around $195,000 is what the homes go for. 01:35:57
So just to give you a little background of. 01:36:01
So when you're looking at the. 01:36:04
The property values, that's why. 01:36:05
This bid is going to be a lien for 15 years. 01:36:08
On the property, so I'll answer any questions that you might have. 01:36:12
Or carrying a rocking. 01:36:17
Might answer any questions you. 01:36:19
Because she is actually our expert. OK, let's find out. Thank you, Paula. Supervisor Humphrey, thank you. 01:36:22
OK, this is to do a a restoration of a home. 01:36:26
Yes, OK. And the stipulations for that much money to go into that home if they have to own the home for? 01:36:30
10 years. 01:36:37
Yes, Sir. 01:36:38
They do have to. They actually have to. 01:36:39
Meet income eligibility. 01:36:43
Right, they have to, actually. 01:36:45
Have the assessments done. They have to and. 01:36:47
The lien will be for 15 years. 01:36:50
However, in the event that the property owner does sell. 01:36:52
There is a. 01:36:56
Scale. 01:36:59
That would be where we would actually be paid back. 01:37:00
At a fee. There's a fee scale. 01:37:03
Orally. 01:37:06
Thank you I. 01:37:09
You're welcome. Am I? 01:37:10
Contractor days, I used to work on some of these phones, so it's important for the people to know that. 01:37:11
We're just not giving people right that money to restore their home. And there you go, a good luck. 01:37:15
Sell it tomorrow and have fun. 01:37:21
So yeah, I just wanted that. 01:37:23
To be out to the public, and that if they do. 01:37:26
Cell or something happens were actually it's given to family members they are the lean is still. 01:37:28
Yeah. Thank you very much. 01:37:36
For sharing that Father Klein. 01:37:37
Paula, thank you. I'm good. 01:37:40
Yeah, I'm good too. So why don't we, uh. 01:37:42
Or promotion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve service contract #0. 01:37:45
Or 2425. 01:37:50
With BMS Cat LLC Stratton restoration for housing rehabilitation project. 01:37:53
CDBG 120-204-06AS presented. 01:37:59
Mr. Chair, I'll second that a motion and a second to approve Those in favor say aye, aye. 01:38:05
I thank you. 01:38:11
Paula, I noticed you have another one here, so. 01:38:13
How upsetting would it be to move up this item? 01:38:16
Which is item 3K. 01:38:20
OK. All right. 01:38:26
We want to keep you all happy over there, so. 01:38:28
We have one more Let's go ahead and take care of 3K information discussion, action. 01:38:36
To authorize the advertisement of requests for proposal number 042. 01:38:41
Reaching 0 to 5 property cleanup services. 01:38:46
Our contractors to prove property cleanup services. 01:38:48
To heal a kind. 01:38:51
Thank you, Chairman, members of the board, for moving that up and actually giving me an opportunity. 01:38:53
To discuss this, which is one of the things you were discussing earlier, is kind of. 01:38:59
Doing some cleanup, some property cleanups. 01:39:03
And I just want to give you a little background just so that you have some information so. 01:39:07
And I know that in the past. 01:39:13
A lot of the companies come from out of town. 01:39:16
So I wanted to just give you a little information regarding that. 01:39:18
So there are three companies. 01:39:22
And of those three companies? 01:39:24
There is about. 01:39:26
They hire local workers when they get here. 01:39:27
So that is, and they actually want them to work. 01:39:31
From this area. 01:39:34
The companies come in and they will hire workers from this area, so that's great. We've done 17 property cleanups this year. 01:39:36
And I know that you've all seen pictures of that. 01:39:44
They're pretty proud of it. 01:39:48
And we wanted to make sure that. 01:39:51
We were able to continue this property cleanup at the rate that you were requesting. 01:39:54
So we. 01:39:59
Actually are doing this to advertise bids. 01:40:00
Which we can actually get an. 01:40:04
We can actually streamline this process so that we can actually do the property cleanups maybe a little bit faster. 01:40:06
Than with multiple contractors in place already. 01:40:14
So that it'll be an easier process for. 01:40:18
Our staff to actually go through and get. 01:40:21
The cleanups done and the companies paid because that's important. 01:40:24
Because one of the things that happens is we hold up there. 01:40:28
Our money line if we don't get everything. 01:40:31
Processed quickly. 01:40:33
So, and I did want to let you know that. 01:40:34
In July we have a local contractor that is very, very interested. 01:40:38
And we'll be doing one of our cleanups. 01:40:42
So we are excited about that. We have been asking local contractors please come on board. 01:40:45
There are a lot of eligibility requirements and things. 01:40:51
Some of them don't have that and the property cleanups do not. 01:40:54
We're just looking at the bids to see. 01:40:59
That it's affordable and that they can do the job correctly so. 01:41:01
I'll answer any other questions you have about the property cleanup. It's a little different than community services this. 01:41:05
Falls under environmental health and obviously we have community development that helps us out with this, so. 01:41:11
If you have any questions. 01:41:17
Myself or Randy or anyone or Michael. 01:41:19
Answer OK, Thank you, Policy Brother Humphrey. 01:41:22
I have no questions other than thank you for cleaning up those. 01:41:26

And so I'm here today to hopefully be able to get this grant again. 01:49:04
So this is our new board. We started in May 1st. 01:49:10
And we have. 01:49:14
Eight members of our board, actually 7 and then Rosemary. 01:49:16
Goff has been on the board since 2013, so we've made her a historian. 01:49:19
Wonderful part of our community in Tano. 01:49:25
And last year we were able to paint. 01:49:27
The building it had been. 01:49:30
Painted since 2013. 01:49:32
And that those funds came from? 01:49:34
Part of the grant that we received last year. 01:49:37
And also we do a Wild West days every year and. 01:49:40
Money that came in from that we were able to paint our building. 01:49:43
This year. 01:49:47
We've made some accomplishments. 01:49:49
We've helped the the town has a trunk or treat every year we've been able to. 01:49:51
Help with that, they raised over $20,000. 01:49:56
This year we Co hosted the Wild West days. We brought in almost $14,000 with that. 01:50:00
And with those funds, we were able to. 01:50:06
Actually, where you have our board meetings this evening. 01:50:09
And we are presenting $1000 to the fire department. 01:50:12
$1000 to our library and $1000 in food to our food ministry. 01:50:15
So the Chamber does like to help the community, but we need a lot of improvements on our building. 01:50:20
We're continuously working to improve visibility and outreach through. 01:50:27
Branding and events. 01:50:31
Updating our website. 01:50:33
Adding an area for the members to pay dues online. 01:50:35
Our accomplishments that we've made the most successful was the Wild West days. This is the 16th year. 01:50:40
Purchase new padded chairs for the community events. 01:50:45
Brought in Actually, we have 20 new members. 01:50:49
Just between May and. 01:50:51
Half of June. 01:50:53
Which we now have 48 members of our chamber. 01:50:55
We're starting our. 01:50:59
Doing a first members club, Breakfast club. 01:51:01
And then tomorrow we will have a lunch and learn. 01:51:04
So that's our goal is to try to connect our community. 01:51:07
With having different events that come out that we can do mixers. 01:51:10
Monday we started doing family night. 01:51:15
Which is a game night every other Monday. 01:51:17
Last night we had 17 people there. 01:51:19
And it's a wonderful way to bring our community together. 01:51:22
And some of the goals that we have. 01:51:26
Is again bringing in another 20 members. We've brought 20 in. I would like to as a president. 01:51:28
Before the end of the year, have another 20 members. 01:51:33
Join us. 01:51:35
We're starting doing ribbon cutting with new businesses. 01:51:37
We have a new Mexican restaurant that came in and we also have. 01:51:40
Coffee and cones. 01:51:44
So in October we're going to have a. 01:51:46
Ribbon cutting for them. 01:51:48
We want to hold mixers and barbecues. 01:51:50
Obviously connect the members with the businesses. Umm. 01:51:53
We started painting the inside, the whole inside of the building we painted. 01:51:57
A couple of our board members, myself and another gal. 01:52:02
Painted the building, it looks beautiful inside. Some repairs that we need to do still are the deck. 01:52:05
The flooring and. 01:52:11
The roof. 01:52:13
So those are items that we're still working on. 01:52:14
Getting umm. 01:52:16
Done so, the grant would be a huge. 01:52:18
Asset for. 01:52:20
Our property taxes and our insurance alone. 01:52:22
Are more than $5600. 01:52:25
So having this grant would be. 01:52:28
A huge deal for us. 01:52:30
Our board and community. 01:52:32
And let's see what else I have. 01:52:35
Here, this was the Wild West days where we raised the money. 01:52:37
And I've already explained to you what we're using with part of it. 01:52:41
And the other. 01:52:44
Part that we have is our flooring and the roof that we're having to get replaced. 01:52:45
And that is my presentation and I. 01:52:51
First time here so I apologize if I was a little nervous. 01:52:54
But I appreciate all of you and. 01:52:58
That is where we're at. 01:53:01
With that. 01:53:03
So if anybody has any questions, I'm here to. 01:53:04
Hopefully I can answer them for you. Well, thank you for that, Krista. Good presentation, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I have no 01:53:07
questions. Just thank you for all you do for tunnel vision and thank you for supporting my meetings in your beautiful building 01:53:12
that. 01:53:16
Painting and keeps getting worked on I. 01:53:21
I appreciate the participation. 01:53:24
So much and so I just want to thank you. 01:53:26
Thank you. 01:53:29
Supervisor. 01:53:30
Good job for everything you're doing. 01:53:31
Yeah, yeah, the chambers in our. 01:53:34
Wright County do a lot of work. 01:53:36
Volunteers in itself. 01:53:38
Appreciate that. We're happy to support anyway, alcohol promotion, Mr. Chair. 01:53:40
Yo, yes, I'm sorry, can I ask you a question? Yes. 01:53:45
In your observation, you're very well connected with the community, but what? 01:53:48
Completion of the Tomah Creek bridge. What is that? 01:53:53
Average tunnel bas. 01:53:55
Well, what is Summitana Basin as it's tripled it in size? 01:53:57
So with that, we also have brought in new businesses. 01:54:01
And as president of the Excuse me of the Chamber this year. 01:54:04
My goal is to connect. 01:54:09
The community to the businesses. 01:54:11
And by having these events that we're having the lunch and learns, The Breakfast Club and mixers. 01:54:13
The ribbon cutting. 01:54:18
We're bringing people out. 01:54:19
Into the community the game night. 01:54:21
Was one of our board members, Michael, that decided to do that? 01:54:22
And it's. 01:54:26
It's only we've only done it 2 times and it's neat to see there was over like. 01:54:28
17 people there last night. 01:54:31
With their families. 01:54:33
And the bridge, obviously it helps us because now we have a way to get across to. 01:54:35
Events that would happen. 01:54:41
I mean, there were many times when I was a member of the Kiwanis. 01:54:42
That I couldn't go to the board meetings because I live across the Creek. 01:54:46
So now we can get across. 01:54:50
Safely and. 01:54:52
It's been dry since it's been filled but. 01:54:53
Thank you. 01:54:57
You said that it has. 01:54:58
Given an opportunity for growth. 01:55:01
So definitely, I appreciate that and appreciate your engagement and the community. 01:55:03
Thank you. 01:55:07
Thank you. And growth means more taxes. 01:55:08
Yep, yeah. 01:55:10

For the initial term of June 1725. 01:59:08
Through June 1628. 01:59:11
For the contract amount not to exceed $46,550. 01:59:13
Alex. 01:59:18
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 01:59:20
As we talked about earlier in the day. 01:59:21
There's a budget for the floodplain and you were questioning what some of that. 01:59:25
Go to. 01:59:28
Well, we would like to. 01:59:29
Use some of that fun in to get this software. 01:59:32
As you know, FEMA's. 01:59:35
Flood plain. 01:59:36
NFIP, National Flood Insurance Program. 01:59:39
As what is referred to as the CRS critical Rating system. 01:59:42
And there's 10 levels to that system. 01:59:45
Hill County's been in that system at a level 10 since 1998. 01:59:48
Each time we raise a level. 01:59:52
From 8:50 to 8 and so on and so forth. 01:59:54
We actually. 01:59:56
Gets a 5%. 01:59:58
Decrease in the. 02:00:00
Tax rate. 02:00:03
For a flood insurance. 02:00:04
So. 02:00:06
Your constituents get 5% back every time we increase that. 02:00:07
Level and yet we have not done that. 02:00:10
So working with Forerunner, our goal is to actually. 02:00:13
Raise our rating in that CRS. 02:00:16
So that your constituents can get money back. 02:00:19
I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have on that. 02:00:23
Great, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no question. 02:00:25
By the Klein How does this work Alex? Is it like GPS? 02:00:29
Uh, driven or? 02:00:34
So there's. 02:00:36
Milestones at each of these threshold levels and so once we pass those. 02:00:37
Those levels and. 02:00:41
Foreigner will help us achieve that. We will go to. 02:00:42
FEMA Region 9. 02:00:46
And we will. 02:00:47
Present the data that we've passed these thresholds and then. 02:00:48
Point that percentage will be. 02:00:51
Brought down from. 02:00:53
The insurance rate. 02:00:55
So this could help people that. 02:00:57
Or actually. 02:00:58
Out of the floodplain. 02:01:00
Just to prove that. 02:01:02
Yes, anyone who has flood insurance, whether they're in the floodplain or not, is entitled to this percentage. 02:01:03
OK. Thank you. 02:01:08
Thank you, Alex. 02:01:11
What is our rating right now? 02:01:12
Where are the Quest 10? 02:01:14
Little kebab so. 02:01:15
All right, great. 02:01:17
And we're hoping to get up to where? 02:01:19
With this maneuver. 02:01:21
With this program, we'd hope. 02:01:22
To get to at least. 02:01:23
As we increase through those thresholds, there's more and more responsibilities. 02:01:26
So to give you an example. 02:01:31
Maricopa's only other Level 3. 02:01:34
And they have 15 people working on this. 02:01:36
In their floodplain department, whereas we have. 02:01:38
3. 02:01:42
Right. 02:01:43
So that could be a 10%. 02:01:44
Value there so. 02:01:46
Great. Thank you. 02:01:48
I have no questions and I'll call for a motion. 02:01:49
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Forerunner Master Service agreement. 02:01:52
And statement of work. 02:01:56
Between Gila County. 02:01:58
And 4 Runner Industries Incorporated for the purchase of 4 Runner software as presented. 02:01:59
Mr. Chair, I'll second. 02:02:05
Motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 02:02:07
I thank you, Alex. 02:02:11
I'll call for a motion to adjourn as the Gila County Flood Control District Board of Directors. 02:02:13
We convene at the Halo County Board of Supervisors. 02:02:18
So move, Mister Jack. 02:02:21
I'll second that. 02:02:23
A motion and a second. Those in favor say aye aye. 02:02:24
Item 3 Q is information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of invitation for bid number. 02:02:28
06012025. 02:02:34
The Globe Courthouse parking lot pavement project. 02:02:38
Good afternoon, Mr. White. 02:02:41
Thank you, Chairman. Supervisors. 02:02:44
This is just getting your permission to go ahead and go out to bid for the courthouse. 02:02:46
Paving parking lot, Paving job. 02:02:53
We're estimating it to be around 5:50 to 6:50 somewhere in that neighborhood, but we'll know when the bids come in. 02:02:55
The goal is to get approval to go out to bid now. 02:03:01
When the design is done towards the end of this month. 02:03:05
We'll be able to go right out to bid. 02:03:08
With the goal of trying to getting. 02:03:09
Get the actual bid and the contract back to the board. 02:03:11
In August. 02:03:16
So that it can be time for the mineral. 02:03:17
Projects. 02:03:19
OK. Thank you, supervisor. 02:03:21
I have no question. 02:03:23
Supervisor Klein, I'm good. Thank you, Tori. 02:03:24
Thank you. I'll call for motion. 02:03:27
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of invitation for. 02:03:29
Bids number 060. 02:03:33
12025. 02:03:36
Globe Courthouse parking lot. 02:03:38
Statement project. 02:03:40
I'll second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye. 02:03:42
Aye, aye. 02:03:45
On to item three, our information discussion action to adopt resolution. 02:03:47
Number 250602 accepting the drainage easement from John. 02:03:52
B Yanez. 02:03:57
And Irene Yanez. 02:03:59
Mr. White. Thank you, Chairman, Supervisors. 02:04:01
This is. 02:04:04
A drainage system. 02:04:07
It's part of a larger drainage system. I think we've got a map up there we're already taking care of. 02:04:08
Most of the drainage channel in this neighborhood. 02:04:14
There's a little. 02:04:18
Section I don't know. 02:04:19
Why we haven't or haven't been maintaining it, but it doesn't make sense for the homeowners in that area to maintain it. 02:04:20
This is really. 02:04:27
Almost in between two different. 02:04:29
Homes and it's coming off. 02:04:32
The mountain and it goes down into an area which we're already maintaining. 02:04:34
I don't, I don't really think the homeowners really have the capacity. 02:04:39
To really maintain that section of the channel. 02:04:44
So they're willing to give us an easement so we can get in there, keep that maintained the way it should be so that. 02:04:48
Complete graded system works the way that it's intended to work, so. 02:04:54
Super. 02:04:59
I thank you very much for getting this done. I've spoke with Mr. Yonhads and apparently. 02:05:02
You know. 02:05:07
The easement has something that may be fallen in the cracks or something of that nature. 02:05:08
So I appreciate you working with Mr. Yanis to get this easement. 02:05:13
So that we can, because in that area drainage is really important. 02:05:18
And so thank you. 02:05:23
For for working on. 02:05:25
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you, Troy. 02:05:27
Yeah, I think Troy for promotion. 02:05:30
Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt resolution #25-06. 02:05:33
That show too, and I will second that. 02:05:37
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 02:05:40
Aye, aye. 02:05:42
A few item 3S is information, discussion, action. 02:05:44

Chip seal oils. 02:06:04
With Western emotions incorporated based on strategic alliance. 02:06:05
For volume, expenditures, contract number. 02:06:09
40328. 02:06:12
IFB for the supply delivery network. 02:06:14
Patient of CRS. 02:06:17

Not to exceed 220,602 dollars. 02:06:27
And $0.98. 02:06:31
OK, Troy. 02:06:33
Thank you, Chairman. Supervisors, again, this is Pinellas County Cooperative contract that we're using to save the 2025 chip seal 02:06:34
program. 02:06:38
This is an amount of 207. 02:06:43
Just under $207,000. 02:06:46
With western emulsion so. 02:06:50
Again, many things to. 02:06:55
Olivia and Carrie and Christy for. 02:06:58
Finding this contract and getting it to you guys in time for us to. 02:07:02
Save our chip sale season, but. 02:07:06
Yep, that's it, unless you have any questions. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 02:07:09
I don't have any questions other than thank you. I found I thought it would be real difficult to find an oil company this time of 02:07:12
year when? 02:07:16
That is what they do and this is their busy season. But but yes, how how sweet that is to be able to be able to go ahead. 02:07:19
With our projects as we had. 02:07:27
Plan so. 02:07:29
Thank you very much. 02:07:30
Supervisor Klein. 02:07:31
Yeah. Thank you all for doing that, that. 02:07:32
That's that's a good leg. 02:07:35
And I think those. 02:07:37
That were involved instrumental in getting this. Absolutely. Thank you. 02:07:39
With that, I'll call for motion. 02:07:43
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to. 02:07:44
Contract number 240328. 02:07:46

I'll second that. 02:08:21
OK, motion and a second to approve those in favor. 02:08:23
Say aye, aye. 02:08:26
Aye, and unanimous. And we'll go to 3T last one for information, discussion, action. 02:08:28
To approve contract number 060425. 02:08:36
With SCS engineers. 02:08:39
Of design and planning for construction of Russell Gulch landfill cell. 02:08:42
3B For the term of June 1725 through June. 02:08:47
1626. 02:08:51
For contract amount not to exceed 26,000. 02:08:53
$420.00. 02:08:57
Thank you, Chairman, Supervisor SO. 02:08:59
Something I didn't know, by the way, Aaron's not here today. You might notice he's dealing with a staffing shortage with the 02:09:01
landfill today. So. 02:09:05
He's not able to make it. 02:09:10
Something that I've learned. 02:09:13
Believe it or not, just yesterday regarding the landfill. 02:09:15
Russellville's landfill. 02:09:19
Matter of fact, both Aaron and I learned that yesterday. Is that the original design of this landfill? 02:09:21
For cell 3A was supposed to be. 02:09:26
1/3 bigger. 02:09:29
Than what it ended up being. 02:09:30
I think originally. 02:09:33
The landfill was going to go all the way to where the bike shop's at. 02:09:35
And I guess a decision was made. 02:09:39
During the design phase of the. 02:09:41
Project. 02:09:42
Not to remove. 02:09:44
The bike shop. 02:09:45
So they scaled. 02:09:47
The project back. 02:09:48
I only mentioned that because I don't. 02:09:50
I don't know if that has anything to do with. 02:09:51
The timeline that I've been hearing. 02:09:54
For as long as this landfill. 02:09:57
Was. 02:09:59
Estimated to last. 02:10:01
But that said, there's still other reasons. 02:10:03
Why we find ourselves here a lot quicker than we thought we were going to find ourselves here. 02:10:06
And I'm going to, I'm going to try to. 02:10:12
Explain these as best I can, but I think. 02:10:15
One of the number one reasons for certain is. 02:10:18
We have an increase. 02:10:22
Tonnage intake. 02:10:25
And what was used for the planning? 02:10:26
Of this. 02:10:29
Selfie A. 02:10:32
They were estimating. 02:10:34
Around 20 tons as part of the design. 02:10:36
Tonnage. 02:10:39
20 tons a year for the design tonnage. 02:10:41
And over the last two years, we've just blown that out of the water. We're 30% over. 02:10:43
So we're 30% over. 02:10:48
The intaking of tonnage. 02:10:51
From what they. 02:10:54
Base the design of the sell on when they gave the estimates to how long it would last. 02:10:55
That's number one. 02:11:00
#2. 02:11:02
Certainly is. 02:11:04
The material type that we're getting. 02:11:07
At the landfill, a lot of times when the engineers are doing these estimates, they'll estimate. 02:11:09
An average for our landfill. 02:11:15
Of our type and our location for. 02:11:17
The type of material that's going to come. 02:11:20
And there's. 02:11:23
One of the things we're seeing at the Russell Gulf Landfill. 02:11:25
Is of the. 02:11:28
Very significant. 02:11:29
Increase. 02:11:31
In the amount of construction. 02:11:33
And and really. 02:11:35
Bulky waste which can't be compact. 02:11:38
That the estimate on this is. 02:11:42
Significantly higher than what they originally estimated, and probably that is, it can't. 02:11:45
Compact down. 02:11:50
So construction to be in bulky ways can't come back down. 02:11:51
So when you take. 02:11:55
The significant increase we're seeing in. 02:11:57
Construction material in bulky ways. 02:12:00
Along with. 02:12:02
Just the increase in the amount of tonnage we thought we'd receive. 02:12:03
You're looking at about. 02:12:07
50 to 60%. 02:12:09
In increased. 02:12:11
Airspace, just in those two things alone. 02:12:13
The third thing? 02:12:17
Is operational. 02:12:19
Inefficiencies. 02:12:22
And one of the things we've been looking at. 02:12:24
Lately. 02:12:28
Currently the way that it works is. 02:12:31
The landfill. 02:12:34
Hours of operation. 02:12:36
Are open to the public. 02:12:38
Are the exact same hours. 02:12:40
That the staff works. 02:12:42
So if we're working from six. 02:12:43
To 430 of the landfills open from 6:00 to 4:00. There's a line there when they get there and then. 02:12:47
When you post get it for, there's still people in the line so. 02:12:52
The exact amount of time the staff is there. 02:12:56
Is when traffic at the landfill. 02:12:59
And that's a problem for a lot of reasons. 02:13:01
Number one, the only thing that the staff is doing. 02:13:04
All day long is just dealing with the trash that's coming in. 02:13:08
They're not doing any other operational things that they need to be doing at the land. 02:13:12
And one of the most important things that they should be doing is. 02:13:17
At the end of the day. 02:13:22
Getting a real good compaction. 02:13:23
And what's been received that day? 02:13:26
But there's no time. 02:13:28
As soon as the cars leave, they leave. Soon as the cars get there, they get there. 02:13:30
Other things aren't being done as far as. 02:13:34
Erosion control. 02:13:37
Channel erosion control maintenance. 02:13:39
High maintenance. 02:13:43
There's just a lot of. 02:13:45
Other operational. 02:13:46
Latest things that are not being done, but the main thing that's affecting. 02:13:47
The airspace. 02:13:51
They're just not having the time. 02:13:53
To do the compaction. 02:13:55
And rework that shelf at. 02:13:57
At the end of every day. 02:13:59
So with that said. 02:14:01
We are. 02:14:03
Working with the staff. 02:14:04
We are coming up with some alternatives to fix those operational inefficiencies. 02:14:06
So that we're not playing a part. 02:14:12
On. 02:14:14
How fast this wind that's going up. So we're going to be back to this board with some. 02:14:15
Alternatives for the board to consider on how we can. 02:14:19
Mitigate the operational inefficiencies. 02:14:23
Seeing the landfill? 02:14:26
And then the. 02:14:29
Fourth thing is. 02:14:31
And final. 02:14:33
Is inadequate compassion. 02:14:36
We have the wrong size compactor. 02:14:40
It's way too small. 02:14:42
For the amount of debris that we're bringing in out there and the amount of trash we're bringing in there. 02:14:44
The compactor that we should have should be a lot heavier. 02:14:49
A lot bigger. 02:14:52
So it's. 02:14:53
What's happening? 02:14:57
The trash that we're getting that is compactable, we've got a compactor on it that just isn't heavy enough to get the compaction 02:14:58
that we need. So. 02:15:01
That's another thing that we're going to want to take a look at is. 02:15:05
You know, getting the right equipment for the job. 02:15:10
So really. 02:15:13
What you have? 02:15:14
Is uh. 02:15:15
The increased tonnage. 02:15:17
That was far greater than what the design was. 02:15:19
You have the. 02:15:22
The addition of. 02:15:26
Construction material and parking material higher than what? The estimate? 02:15:28
Was the operational limitations that we have. 02:15:32
And the inadequate equipment. 02:15:35
That's what brings us here today to ask to start. 02:15:38
3B. 02:15:42
I will say. 02:15:44
One more thing though. 02:15:45
If we can. 02:15:48
Get 3D. 02:15:50
Moving in. 02:15:52
Once we start working 3B. 02:15:55
You're going to gain more. 02:15:57
3 then. 02:16:01
Than what you have now. 02:16:03
The problem that we're experiencing now is 3A is a very small shelf. 02:16:05
So we're only going to be able to go up so high before we can't work it anymore. 02:16:09
I can't get traffic up there anymore. 02:16:13
Due to the shelf size and I think that was. 02:16:17
Part of when it got cut back from. 02:16:19
When it got shrunk during the design 1/3. 02:16:24
Size smaller. 02:16:27
But nonetheless, once. 02:16:29
Once we get 3B going. 02:16:30
Then we can work 3B up to where 3/8 is and then 3A can go up higher. 02:16:35
So even though we need. 02:16:40
3B Sooner than we thought we were going to need it. 02:16:42
We still will get extended lifeout of three. 02:16:46
It's just because of its size and we can't work it and we can't. 02:16:49
Go up too high before. 02:16:54
Before we got stop sending people up there to dump trash. 02:16:56
We will regain that back once we begin. 02:17:00
Catches up to it and we have a larger. 02:17:03
Larger shelf. 02:17:06
So what this contract does is this. 02:17:08
This contract gets. 02:17:10
Our consult. 02:17:12
SCS on board. 02:17:14
To do the design and do the submittals to adequ. 02:17:16
So that. 02:17:21
To move forward, we can actually. 02:17:22
Put it out the bid, get 3B done. 02:17:24
And then get that. 02:17:27
Get more of that light back out of three and continue. 02:17:30
Landfill right now as it stands. 02:17:33
We probably got 12. 02:17:36
Months. Maybe if we stretch it we can get 18 months. 02:17:38
Left on what we can do with three. 02:17:43
But like I said, once we get 3B going and caught up, we get more of 3/8 time back. 02:17:46
We just can't get there without 3B, if that makes sense. 02:17:51
Is that I'd be happy to answer any questions. 02:17:58
Alright, we'll see if you'll be happy. 02:18:00
Supervisor. 02:18:04
I'm three, yeah. 02:18:05
A ton of questions. 02:18:07
I I guess I I feel misled of. 02:18:13
Where we were going? The dark. 02:18:15
Landfill expansion. 02:18:17
And first question. 02:18:18
Does 3B. 02:18:20
Get rid of the bike shop that's sitting in the middle of landfill. 02:18:22
Sleepy does get rid of the bike shop. 02:18:26
OK, that's. 02:18:29
That's a great thing. 02:18:30
I I guess. 02:18:32
The other question is. 02:18:35
If if this this is to uh. 02:18:38
Approve engineering for design planning. 02:18:41
Construction of Russellville's landfill sale. 3B. 02:18:44
Is this engineering going to take more than a year? 02:18:48
No, the the engineering for this is. 02:18:52
Pretty straightforward because. 02:18:54
When we did 3A, we also. 02:18:56
Planned the whole area, even including 3B so that. 02:18:59
The actual area has already gone through its approval process with. 02:19:02
ADEQ, that saves up a lot of times, so all we got to do is do the actual design of it. 02:19:07
Submitted to ADQ for the construction plan approval and then we're moving forward so. 02:19:12
What they have left to do out there is only about 30 to 45 days worth of design and then? 02:19:18
Up to 60 days for approval with 80 Q and then we're offered roll with. 02:19:24
OK. Yes, I I would like to see it's often rolling. 02:19:29
I have had a. 02:19:33
Lot of complaints. 02:19:34
With that landfill on on lines and. 02:19:36
And you know the? 02:19:40
Yeah, just. 02:19:42
We we need, we need to have a bigger dump area, we need to enlarge that, we need to go forward. 02:19:44
'Cause it it's. 02:19:50
Like I say this. 02:19:52
That's probably been one of my biggest. 02:19:53
Earnings from constituents. 02:19:56
Is long lines, time and things of that nature and I appreciate you. 02:19:58
Working with that and and and helping us get the road done and helping us. 02:20:03
With with Rd. crews up there. 02:20:07
To help make up for the. 02:20:10
Of activities that the landfill. 02:20:13
Crew does not have time to do. 02:20:17
So yeah, we. 02:20:20
We need. 02:20:22
It that's kind of been an issue. 02:20:23
For for a lot of years on that landfill. So we need to get that. 02:20:26
Rolling and in good shape and. 02:20:31
And. 02:20:33
And help with time and everything so. 02:20:34
Yeah, I, I. 02:20:36
Thank you for bringing this before us. 02:20:37
Thank you for the. 02:20:41
For the News. 02:20:42
Of the importance. 02:20:44
Of us needing to go forward with. 02:20:46
That so so thank you, Troy. I appreciate it. 02:20:49
You're welcome. And I just want to mention one one thing. 02:20:52
And I failed to mention it when I was talking about operational inefficiencies. 02:20:55
That is not a dig on the staff out there because that's some of the hardest working staff that I've seen. The amount of time that 02:21:00
they put in out there and the amount of work that they do out there is incredible. That's at both landfills, to be honest with 02:21:03
you. 02:21:07
They put a lot of heart and soul into that. 02:21:12
And they are not doing anything wrong, as a matter of fact considering. 02:21:14
That they've had no time outside of operational hours. 02:21:18
It's amazing. The landfill is in the condition that it's in, in my opinion. 02:21:22
So the staff out there is is doing a phenomenal job. They just need our help. 02:21:26
And giving them the time without traffic coming through to actually. 02:21:31
Maintain it and. 02:21:35
Properly and they want to. 02:21:36
Right, and and and. 02:21:38
Manpower shortage and things of that nature, they've been working lots and lots of. 02:21:40
Hours there, so my hats off to them very much. 02:21:45
Thank you. Appreciate that. 02:21:48
Supervisor client. 02:21:50
So surprised or Humphrey hit on it. You know, the 12 to 18 months seems like a real short time frame for this outfit. 02:21:51
Usually it takes a lot longer than that to get through. 02:22:00
Some of these protesters so. 02:22:02
If you think that can happen that quick. 02:22:04
Great that. 02:22:06
That's going to be a huge help because basically if it doesn't, I don't know what you're going to do. 02:22:07
Um, so. 02:22:12
You know, I think we're all had our. 02:22:16
Mindset on a certain time train for 3/8 but. 02:22:18
If we need to address it. 02:22:21
And jumping and get done when you get it done. 02:22:22
And obviously there's some other issues like you said, timing issues during the day. 02:22:25
Compactor issues, equipment issues, whatever it is so. 02:22:30
A question would be to you, Troy, is are you going to? 02:22:33
Roll this out like it's a work session or something. We can all. 02:22:36
Sit down and talk about it, because. 02:22:40
When we start talking compactors and and additional hours or hour, that's going to work. 02:22:43
It's gonna run in some money. 02:22:49
And so we need to get everything on the table so. 02:22:52
Yeah, yeah, we're going to do this at a work session. 02:22:54
Work session. 02:22:57
It might be at a regular. 02:22:59
Board meeting in July because I want to get this moving as fast as we can, but. 02:23:02
It'll be a work study item, maybe during the first. 02:23:06
Board meeting in July. 02:23:11
More than likely the second one by the time we work everything out and get it to you. But yeah, we plan on doing that with this 02:23:13
council in a work study. 02:23:16
Yeah, that's. 02:23:20
Senator, the sooner we get, the better off the law be for sure. And that's the only time we can talk so. 02:23:22
Thanks for doing that and. 02:23:28
Thanks for bringing this to us. I mean, these are the things that. 02:23:30
We'll get you off guard. 02:23:33
And fight pretty hard when it comes to dollars. So thanks for getting this out there. 02:23:35
Yeah. Thanks, Troy. 02:23:41
So yeah, I have the understanding that this. 02:23:44
Really Recent improvement 3A. 02:23:47
Would last much longer. 02:23:50
And you inherited this? I think Aaron inherited this. I really like Aaron. 02:23:53
I think he's doing great. 02:23:58
Well, thank you, Woody. 02:23:59
You're welcome. Yeah. 02:24:01
I make a mint cup of coffee. 02:24:03
So they inherited this. 02:24:07
I don't know who decided to. 02:24:09
No, no. I'm. 02:24:13
No, we decided to downside. 02:24:16
This project. 02:24:18
I would be interested to know. I know you probably don't, but it. 02:24:20
You know this is an inherited issue. 02:24:23
Why it was downsized I don't know. 02:24:26
Because now we've got to start all over again with another improvement. 02:24:28
And that's going to be pretty expensive. We could be into some money. 02:24:31
And I'm I. 02:24:36
Is the enterprise going to pay for this? 02:24:37
The enterprise will pay for it, OK. 02:24:40
And are you suggesting that we change? 02:24:43
The hours of the landfill in order to get this. 02:24:45
We have to consider. 02:24:49
20 years out. 02:24:51
The compaction and everything and if we need another 30 minutes or. 02:24:52
Hour to do that we. 02:24:55
You know. 02:24:58
Are you suggesting that might be something we talk about? 02:24:59
I I definitely think that's one of the alternatives right for. 02:25:02
For the poor, the consider for sure. 02:25:06
Right. 02:25:08
Yeah, OK. 02:25:09
Yeah, I remember asking Melanie. 02:25:13
Why are we in the landfill business? Because this is an expensive proposition. 02:25:16
And her answer was what I believe. 02:25:20
Is good. 02:25:23
And that is? 02:25:24
Because the county can do it less expensively. 02:25:25
Than private. 02:25:28
But we've got to maintain, we've got to be able to. 02:25:29
Pay for it. If we're going to learn it like a business, it's got to be run like a business. 02:25:32
Right. Yeah. 02:25:36
So, OK, so we're asking, you're asking for. 02:25:37
Going out for design. 02:25:41
On item 3T, I'll call for motion. 02:25:44

And so. 02:32:18
It, uh, it's been a huge benefit for. 02:32:20
Throughout there and also for here in globe as well, it helps both. 02:32:23
Both of us so. 02:32:27
I've been a part of that now for a while and it. 02:32:28
It's a good thing. 02:32:31
Thank you, Woody Supervisor. 02:32:35
No questions. 02:32:36
Sounds like a good thing this comes from your constituent fund, is that right? 02:32:38
I think it is, yeah. 02:32:42
Yeah, OK, thought James will cover it. 02:32:43
I think it's important to know this is something you're you're doing so. 02:32:46
With that'll call promotion. 02:32:51
Mr. Chair, I moved to approve intergovernment agreement number 05/05. 02:32:53

Leave them to the Gila County personal. 02:33:19
Personnel Commission, effective June 17. 02:33:22
2025 through June. 02:33:25
I'm sorry, December 31st. 02:33:27
2028. 02:33:29
What he's and so this this is a. 02:33:30
This is our one of our. 02:33:34
Or boards I have appointed people on and I had a vacancy and Jesse was interested in doing it and. 02:33:36
And I think he'd make a good one. 02:33:42
On it, Jesse. 02:33:44
Pretty involved in the community of Globe. 02:33:45
Can you Supervisor Humphrey? 02:33:49
No questions. 02:33:50
Only I've never heard of the Hill County Personnel Commission. 02:33:51
What is that? There's something now. 02:33:55
Yes, yeah. 02:33:57
Is it a personal thing? 02:33:59
No, OK. 02:34:01
You're involved, you just didn't know it. 02:34:03
So what do they do? 02:34:06
The Personnel Commission, they, they address issues. 02:34:10
Personnel issues and stuff like that that come through. 02:34:13
A board, you know, like for. 02:34:16
Claims and things like that. 02:34:19
And I think James May want to add something to it, I don't know. 02:34:22
Hey, Mr. Chairman, So I don't necessarily need to. It's if there are issues related to personnel. 02:34:25
I'm trying a person might be terminated for cause. 02:34:31
And they might question that, so they'll go before the personnel Commission. 02:34:35
It was, in fact. 02:34:39
To validate. 02:34:41
Decisions that are made. So those are some of the things that. 02:34:42
Happen on the Personnel Commission. 02:34:45
Very good. That's similar to what I serve on with the. 02:34:47
With the deputies and all, what is that called? 02:34:53
So anyway. 02:34:57
Yes, it's where we review qualifications and eligibility for. 02:34:59
Yeah, OK. 02:35:04
Yeah, I've, I've been, I've been on this. 02:35:05
I've been a part of these before. 02:35:07
Or it is a good? 02:35:08
You know it really is if. 02:35:11
If you want, I'll trade you some time. You can get more involved. 02:35:14
With that, I'll call for motion. 02:35:17
For you to trade or. 02:35:21
3 Y OK I move to a point. 02:35:24
Mr. Jesse leads them to the Gila County Personnel Commission. 02:35:27
Effective June 17th, 2025 through December 31st, 20. 02:35:31
28 And I'll second that motion a second to approve those in favor say. 02:35:36
I, I I. 02:35:41
Moving on to our consent agenda items, we have consent Agenda 4A through F Supervisor Humphrey, would you like to review one or 02:35:42
more of those separately? 02:35:47
No, I'm good. 02:35:51
Supervisor Klein. 02:35:53
No, I. 02:35:55
I I'm good as well. The only thing I would. 02:35:56
Just point out is. 02:35:59
Is the agreement with the Forest Service is a very good agreement with our? 02:36:01
Or Sheriff's Office so. 02:36:05
That's it. 02:36:06
OK, very good. So I will call for a motion to approve. 02:36:07
The consent agenda items 4A through. 02:36:11
So move, Mr. Chair. 02:36:14
I'll second it. 02:36:15
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 02:36:16
Aye, aye. 02:36:19
Alright, very good. Do we have anyone here? 02:36:20
Item 5 called to the public that wishes. 02:36:23
Speak for a couple of minutes. 02:36:25
No, and in Payson looks pretty vacant. 02:36:27
Cassie, who do we have? No wonder how many were on the Internet today. 02:36:32
71 Very good. 02:36:37
All right, you're doing a good job. 02:36:39
Put rolling in. OK, now let's go to our. 02:36:42
Supervisor. Sorry manager. Man love. 02:36:45
Mr. Chairman, I've attended last Friday the County managers administrators meeting for the State of Arizona. 02:36:48
One of the biggest topics that we spent a long time with was retirement systems and benefits. 02:36:54
Particularly for law enforcement. 02:37:00
And the correction officers retirement plan. 02:37:02
There's a lot of. 02:37:04
Has been for several years and will continue to be in the state legislature. 02:37:05
Proposals that. 02:37:10
Could end up being very costly, Jude. 02:37:11
So we're looking to. 02:37:13
Get involvement and make sure that we are engaged. 02:37:15
And the retirement? 02:37:18
For our public safety personnel that we have employees for the county. 02:37:19
Just want to point out that thank you to. 02:37:24
Finance department for all they do on the budget. 02:37:27
They also have done interviews in the last week and. 02:37:29
Finally, I believe we're gonna get some help in the purchasing. 02:37:32
End of things. 02:37:35
I know that there's a lot of discussion that we have with the Board of. 02:37:36
Of reaching out to local vendors and those types of things. 02:37:40
I am the Olivia's. 02:37:44
She's been a trooper of just. 02:37:45
Getting things in line and. 02:37:47
Working so hard, she's going to get some help. 02:37:49
I believe maybe 1 and maybe after July maybe a second one. 02:37:51
Help with procurement where we can. 02:37:56
Ensure that we are reaching out to local vendors to the greatest extent we possibly can. 02:37:59
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 02:38:04
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 02:38:05
Uh, yeah, I held the Tunnel Basin community meeting. 02:38:07
On the evening of the third. 02:38:12
Spoke at a Rotary luncheon on the 4th. 02:38:14
Met with Michael O'Driscoll and. 02:38:18
A little late, but he got there. 02:38:22
With the team meeting. 02:38:24
I I very much appreciate the. 02:38:26
Department heads coming together for team meetings so we can all. 02:38:29
Trying to get on the same page with projects that we're working on. 02:38:32
Um, I was on KQSS. 02:38:36
Of radio last night, and I held a community meeting in Roosevelt yesterday at 1:00. 02:38:39
And I, I'd like to thank all the people that were. 02:38:47
On tuned in. 02:38:51
To show their interest in what we're doing. I think 71 people when you lookout at the. 02:38:53
Out of the people here. 02:38:59
You know, we're pretty thin sometimes on public and a lot of steps, so it's great to see that we have. 02:39:01
That many interested people in what's going on in the county so. 02:39:06
Thank you very much for tuning in. 02:39:10
Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor Klein. 02:39:13
OK. 02:39:15
Last week. 02:39:19
Last Wednesday. 02:39:20
I met with the mayors of Hayden and Winkelman. 02:39:23
Can it get caught up on sayings? 02:39:27
Some things, but also discuss the future of the Hayden Senior Center. 02:39:28
And some county owned properties. 02:39:34
It's down there. 02:39:37
The Senior Center is having some issues. 02:39:38
And its financial. 02:39:40
We've. 02:39:42
We've all, we've all helped with the senior centers. 02:39:44
And trying to keep them afloat. 02:39:47
But they've had some cuts from the state. 02:39:49
Pinal County really hasn't stepped up to the plate to contribute a whole lot to help him. 02:39:52
And so they're really struggling. 02:39:57
And so I'm probably gonna step out there with some constituent dollars. 02:39:59
And help them get through this. Also, we're going to be working with resolution and. 02:40:04
And also Pinal County. 02:40:08
Me and James is going to be working with them and trying to squeeze some more money out of them. 02:40:10
The Hayden Center in. 02:40:15
Down there covers a Really. 02:40:17
Wide range down through that valley. 02:40:20
Gila County and Pinellas County both. And unfortunately, it's kind of like a forgotten. 02:40:23
Corner, it's out of sight, it's out of mind and it's it's loaded with really good people down there. 02:40:28
Really. Uh. 02:40:35
People. 02:40:35
And a lot of those people that that Senior Center supports. 02:40:36
The staff is only. 02:40:41
The only people they see. 02:40:43
In a week's time and so. 02:40:44
It's more than just a matter of. 02:40:46
Of delivering meals, it's it's actually. 02:40:48
It's actually a service. 02:40:51
To check on people. 02:40:53
Have the folks. 02:40:56
Feel to talk to someone. 02:40:57
Keep in touch with themselves. 02:40:59
So we're really going to try and pull that together also. 02:41:01
Back in the day when Charlie Dawson was his supervisor here, she went down there and bought some property. 02:41:04
And if you'll remember, not too long ago, we leased the property to the town of Winkelman, right? 02:41:09
But inside the town of Hayden, we own a bunch more. 02:41:17
Not a bunch. 02:41:21
Price 6 or so in there. One of them is is the old laundromat. 02:41:23
Anyway. 02:41:28
I want before I'm out out this term, I want to see those properties. 02:41:30
Get put back in use. 02:41:34
And give back on the role. 02:41:36
Role so I've been. 02:41:37
I've proposed some stuff to the mayor's down there to think about and kick around and in time of. 02:41:39
Beckon for all of us in front of the board. 02:41:44
Friday I met with Troy and Alex and the engineer from Forest Service. 02:41:48
Michelle was her name and we talked about the 512 vote. 02:41:53
One thing you guys have seen me do for. 02:41:57
For quite some time, if I get blindsided with. 02:41:59
Buy something. 02:42:02
I really get ******. 02:42:03
Really quick. 02:42:04
And so this was a very good meeting and I wanted to thank Alex and Troy for putting this together. 02:42:06
And I think you guys were getting some mixed signals as much as. 02:42:12
Anybody and so. 02:42:16
It's about 512 Road and. 02:42:18
Possibility of another extension? 02:42:21
And it's really not coming from the Forest Service what I've. 02:42:23
Heard but Troy and Alex are going to go forward with another meeting where they're going to have everybody around the same table. 02:42:26
So there can't be any finger pointing this away when someone. 02:42:33
Yeah. And I think it'll really. 02:42:37
Really have a lot of merit to that. 02:42:40
And I'm hoping that. 02:42:41
That they can work through it. 02:42:43
And pull things together and. 02:42:45
And we can get something done in a timely manner. 02:42:47
But in all honesty, the Forest Service is way short staff. 02:42:50
Horribly short. 02:42:54
And yet. 02:42:56
When they're getting the. 02:42:57
The information back for review, they're able to kick that back to them in about 30 days, which I found was amazing. 02:43:00
As many people as they're missing. 02:43:07
In their department, so. 02:43:09
So Troy and and Alex. Alex, thank you. Troy's gone, but. 02:43:10
Thank you for doing that. I really appreciate that. 02:43:14
Tomorrow I'm going to be in. 02:43:18
You know, I'm sitting on a panel for the office of. 02:43:22
Economic offer. 02:43:25
And there there's. 02:43:28
Sponsoring this meeting. It's a workforce summit to discuss employment and training efforts. 02:43:30
In Arizona, and I'm on a panel, there's three of us it looks like maybe more I. 02:43:36
You don't really say, but. 02:43:41
The three of us that are there for sure is. 02:43:43
Phoenix Mayor. 02:43:46
Cape Gallego. 02:43:47
That's a grand, Mayor Lisa. 02:43:49
Fitzgibbons and myself. 02:43:50
And maybe someone else, I don't know, but that's going to be tomorrow morning from about 8:00 to 9:30. 02:43:53
And I really look forward to this. 02:43:59
This uh. 02:44:01
Little parents, that. 02:44:02
You know, there's there's really. 02:44:04
There's a big contrast between US and the big cities. 02:44:06
Like Phoenix, or. 02:44:10
Or Tucson when it comes to work. 02:44:12
There's the rural, rural counties. 02:44:14
And so. 02:44:17
I've been looking real. 02:44:20
We look forward to seeing what. 02:44:21
Well, we we're going to have to visit about and discuss and go from there. 02:44:24
Thursday I'll be at the Star Valley. 02:44:29
Public Works Appreciation Day. 02:44:31
That would be a good time. 02:44:33
And then Friday, ADOT is having a. 02:44:35
A meeting inpatient. 02:44:38
On the Lion Springs project. 02:44:40
Basically what they're wanting to do is cut that funding back for what, two or three years? 02:44:43
Yeah, and fund another project that they they need the money on. 02:44:48
I don't want them to do that. 02:44:53
We've been a long time waiting for Lyon Springs. We've already gone through a lot, a lot of the processes. 02:44:54
You guys, we've all been a part of it. 02:45:00
And so I wanted to keep that money where it is and get this one done. 02:45:02
There's a big. 02:45:06
Big need for that expansion there and I want to see them get it done. 02:45:07
I don't know if. 02:45:11
If we'll see it or not. 02:45:13
But anyway. 02:45:14
I'm going to be there Friday and I think Alex is going to be there and. 02:45:15
Troy's going to be there. 02:45:19
We'll see what they have to say. 02:45:21
So. 02:45:23
Learn that. That's it, Mr. Chair. 02:45:24
Thank you, I will be there as well. 02:45:25
And it is important. 02:45:29
I actually spoke with the Chair. 02:45:32
Woman yesterday. Her name is Jim Daniel. 02:45:34
And she's not sure the way it'll go so. 02:45:37
She doesn't know what the vote will be. 02:45:42
In other words. 02:45:44
So the meeting is actually concerning all of their 25 budget. 02:45:45
Your five year plan. 02:45:50
And all of those things and so. 02:45:52
They have a lot of big decisions to make. They've got dozens and dozens of projects. 02:45:55
And so this is the meeting where they're going to decide where the money is going to go. 02:46:00
And yes, I do believe Lion Springs is in danger of being delayed. 02:46:05
I intend to be there. 02:46:10
And if any other supervisors were there. 02:46:12
I think that will be beneficial. It'll be at the town hall in Payson. 02:46:16
Starts at 9:00. 02:46:21
And. 02:46:23
We may not have much influence, but. 02:46:26
Whatever they decide is what they decide. 02:46:29
She was asking me whether we'd be willing to pay for part of it. 02:46:32
And I said with what? 02:46:35
I know 300,000. 02:46:39
It's like this is $110 million project. 02:46:43
And if they don't do it now, it's going to be a 200. 02:46:47
Dollar project and we've had. 02:46:50
How many deaths on it in the last? 02:46:53
Two weeks. 02:46:55
Multiple deaths. 02:46:58
Just in that five mile area. 02:46:59
Head on crashes all kinds. 02:47:02
So it's important to us, but. 02:47:04
Obviously there's other places in the state that want. 02:47:07
Their roads done to. 02:47:09
I actually was able to speak to this on June 5th at their meeting. 02:47:12
And one of the reasons why Jen. 02:47:18
And I were able to get. 02:47:20
A conversation together. 02:47:22
Yesterday I was on Kmog, that went good as usual. Game fish. 02:47:24
Permission comes up once a year to Payson. 02:47:28
On the 13th they were there, Great group of people. 02:47:32
We're going to be making reservations with Sherry here. 02:47:36
To get them into the TCM. 02:47:40
For next June. 02:47:42
And lock that up or to talk to the. 02:47:44
Judge and also I think if we just get it on the calendar permanently. 02:47:47
And we're good. 02:47:50
And they'll be able to move it away from. 02:47:51
The small venue that they're in. 02:47:54
Then Pine the Strawberry Pastures had a quilt show on June 6. 02:47:57
Always amazing. 02:48:01
The talent that's in that area. 02:48:03
And we have Flag Day celebrations on the 14th. 02:48:04
And that was great as well. So that's all I have to report. 02:48:10
I thank everyone for the meeting. 02:48:14
Longer than normal. 02:48:16
A waste manager, thank you. 02:48:18

25 of 10/07. 00:00:23
And I would like to ask Roy Sandoval. 00:00:27

Marion Belling will lead us in. 00:00:34
Invocation. 00:00:36
I pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:39
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:00:43
One nation under God. 00:00:46
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:48
Heavenly Father. 00:00:59
We come before you today in gratitude for our colleagues and for the opportunity to serve Gila County. 00:01:00
Because we are looking at our budgets. 00:01:06
I'll be using the prayer before a calculator. 00:01:08
Lord help us to remember that behind each number there is a face. 00:01:11
And precious life that is seeking our assistance. 00:01:16
As our fingers spread over these numbers and symbols, we pray. 00:01:19
May the burdens of poverty and illness be subtracted? 00:01:22
May healing be added to health care? 00:01:25
May the divisions among us be few. 00:01:28
And may the grace of God be multiplied in all our endeavours. 00:01:30
Amen. 00:01:34
Amen. Thank you. 00:01:35
OK. We're going to start off with Item 2, which is our presentations. We have 3 this morning. The first one is. 00:01:40
To a presentation of. 00:01:46
University of Arizona's Gila County Cooperative Extension Office annual report. 00:01:48
And Fiscal Year 202526 Budget request to be considered for approval during. 00:01:53
Gila County's regular budget. 00:01:59
Process. Umm. 00:02:01

Correct. And but we do have Chris. 00:02:04
Good morning. 00:02:08
Thank you. Good morning. 00:02:10
Yeah. 00:02:11
All set to go. 00:02:12
Good morning. It's my pleasure to be here before you today. 00:02:14
Honorable Chairman Steve Christensen. 00:02:18
So what about supervisors Tim Humphrey and Woody Klein? 00:02:21
Thank you for this opportunity to be. 00:02:25
For you and. 00:02:26
Wish you well today. 00:02:28
We are here. 00:02:29
Coach Renee asked us to. 00:02:32
She was not able to come today obviously and got an appointment that if she missed it. 00:02:34
She couldn't reschedule it for months and months. 00:02:38
We're happy to do the annual report. 00:02:41
And budget request here. 00:02:43
You know what I mean? My name is Chris Jones. I'm the AG agent for Natural Resources and Agriculture. 00:02:45
And since. 00:02:50
October or so I'm also the. 00:02:52
Interim extension director for Coconino County. 00:02:54
Right. And so? 00:02:58
I'm going to hand this over to my colleague. 00:03:00
Ashley Dixon. 00:03:03
Cleaver. 00:03:04
She's an associate agent for our family consumer science and health programs. 00:03:05
And we'll start with. 00:03:08
The slides and then we'll just kind of share. 00:03:10
OK. Good morning. 00:03:12
Nice to meet you all. 00:03:14
So I'm just going to go through a few different areas of programming that we have. 00:03:16
1st I'm family consumer Health Science so I'm Christmas counterpart but instead of adding natural resources I'm family consumer 00:03:22
science and. 00:03:26
Renee is 4H so. 00:03:31
I'll go over this and 1st I want to introduce. 00:03:34
A couple of our staff. 00:03:37
That work on family consumer science, you guys want to introduce yourself? 00:03:38
Hi, I'm Kate Gore. I am. 00:03:42
Specialist that. 00:03:45
Leaves in some of the education for our community with families and senior Health Sciences. 00:03:47
I let you go building financial. 00:03:52
Party and family talks. Money is it. 00:03:55
Also falter. 00:04:01
I from the Saint Louis tribe and I work closely with the San Carlos and I Can tribe. 00:04:03
Under healthy lifestyles and go on early literacy. 00:04:09
Go on these at home so I. 00:04:14
Try to link the language with early literacy and work with children into the room. 00:04:16
Good job. Thanks. 00:04:21
OK, so family consumer science employs. 00:04:23
Gila County residents and those eight Gila County residents. 00:04:27
Served last year. 350 vision screenings, over 350 hearing screens for zero to five year olds. 00:04:32
We also educated 22 parents on. 00:04:40
More tools for parenting. 00:04:43
And. 00:04:45
Kate said she reached over 150 residents. 00:04:46
Teaching financial literacy so. 00:04:51
Our reach is pretty far and then we also utilize time to work with childcare providers. 00:04:54
And support them in health. 00:05:02
Health and Wellness as well as safety to. 00:05:04
Make a better environment for our youngest citizens here. 00:05:07
And then let me go over. 00:05:11
The Firtech program, Juan Adias is also our colleague that works in San Carlos. And so last year they did a lot of. 00:05:14
Different kinds of programming. 00:05:24
For live shock equine. 00:05:27
As well as the traditional food systems, which. 00:05:29
Kind of incorporates gardening and. 00:05:33
Proper distribution as well as harvesting and the whole food system and kind of equating that back to the traditions. 00:05:36
And last year their 4H and youth development program kind of flourished and. 00:05:47
They reached a lot of kiddos through Junior Master Gardener. 00:05:53
Welding, archery and so on So. 00:05:58
And then as. 00:06:01
Melody said we. 00:06:03
Together, Juan and I. 00:06:04
Work on the Goa program which is an early literacy program. 00:06:06
And we reached 110 families in San Carlos last year with that program. 00:06:10
So. 00:06:17
Maybe the one that you're almost familiar with 4H. 00:06:19
Last year over 300. 00:06:22
Actually this year. 00:06:26
We're reaching all over 300 and so the number has already increased for youth enrolled. 00:06:27
We've expanded. 00:06:34
The reach for four. 00:06:36
For northern and central Gila. 00:06:38
Especially young. 00:06:41
And Tonto Basin getting a more robust program going. 00:06:43
We would like to thank Supervisor Christensen, who assists in expanding the shooting and archery sports in Northern Gila. 00:06:47
And then I just want to say. 00:06:55
That 4H would not be as successful as it is. 00:06:57
Without all the volunteers that give their time and energy. 00:07:02
For the betterment of our youth. 00:07:06
OK. And then finally AG Days was a huge success this year. 00:07:09
As it has been in the past, but it's a great opportunity for all of us to work together in our office, but also. 00:07:15
To work together with our our amazing community partners. 00:07:22
And yeah. 00:07:26
So that's. 00:07:29
I think it and. 00:07:30
I will pass it over to Chris for Aging Natural Resources. 00:07:32
All right, well, this is my program. I do programs like the Master Garden program in Enforced Health. 00:07:37
Have an active Master Gardener program in Payson. 00:07:43
One thing I'd like to share that they're working on closely. 00:07:46
Is taking care of the pace and heritage. 00:07:49
3 Orchard and. 00:07:52
Our group went out there. 00:07:54
Grafted all those apple trees with heritage trees from. 00:07:55
Community. 00:07:58
The old ranches and the homestead. 00:08:00
And uh. 00:08:01
Now go. 00:08:02
Yeah, so the Gophers have taken out a few trees and replacing those great support from Plant Fair Nursery. 00:08:04
Replace some of those trees and. 00:08:09
We're going to try to, really. 00:08:11
Think that the vision that they had and one day the party. 00:08:13
Pick an Apple furniture. 00:08:17
And a couple of things I'd like to share. 00:08:20
That and also OK. 00:08:26
One thing I want to share is I am leading the. 00:08:28
FFA Forestry. 00:08:32
Program for the Career Development day. We do have every annual. 00:08:34
Every year down in Tucson. 00:08:37
For the past two years I've hosted. 00:08:39
A training for those students and natural resources here in Globe. 00:08:41
At the Community Center. 00:08:45
I think this last. 00:08:46
January had. 00:08:47
Over hard to show up. 00:08:48
So really helping out with that. Looking forward to one of our. 00:08:49
Gila County teams done. 00:08:52
Go to something. 00:08:54
He he Prescott Valley. 00:08:57
And I'd like to like to talk about. 00:08:58
Ashley Hall. 00:09:01
She's our area agent for. 00:09:02
Animal and rape sciences. 00:09:04
She's here in Pinell County. 00:09:05
She did 90 sites. 00:09:08
20 allotments for the monetary program. 00:09:10
Earlier the reading arranged very similar. What's? 00:09:13
Jim Sprinkle used to do. 00:09:15
13 seminars dealing with all kinds of. 00:09:16
Areas that help ranchers. 00:09:20
He better went to ranching. 00:09:21
And two artificial insemination clinics. 00:09:23
And they say that when they hold those, they're. 00:09:26
At capacity. 00:09:29
Very powerful. 00:09:30
Save a waiting list. 00:09:31
And here is a breakdown on our budget. 00:09:35
What I don't know if you've heard about some of the difficulties we're going at the University of Arizona as far as the budget 00:09:39
goes. 00:09:42
That's getting spread evenly even costs. 00:09:45
Extension here. 00:09:48
We receive a reduction of. 00:09:49
$340,000. 00:09:51
From the last year. 00:09:54
Which amazing. 00:09:55
We have had to, really. 00:09:57
Focus on what we're doing. We. 00:09:59
Lose some employees. 00:10:01
We don't replace them. 00:10:04
Cut back on the ground. 00:10:05
Travel and professional development. 00:10:06
Ashley's patch is ship pointing around with some of the grants she's had. 00:10:09
The point I'm trying to make there, that's a lot of money. 00:10:12
We cannot sustain it. It's very hard. 00:10:14
And finally. 00:10:17
Our ask is please continue. 00:10:19
The financial support is $70,000 for Hula County Cooperative Extension. 00:10:22
It makes a great difference for us and we really. 00:10:26
And thank you. 00:10:34
All this is possible because of. 00:10:35
Your support? 00:10:37
We love working with. 00:10:39
Any questions or thanks for the presentation, Supervisor Humphrey? 00:10:42
Oh yeah, a couple questions, one. 00:10:47
You know what? What's caused the cut and to? 00:10:49
What is that gonna do? 00:10:52
But how is that going to affect our 4H? 00:10:54
Going forward. 00:10:57
Because that's huge. 00:10:58
Here in Hilton County and and so the. 00:11:00
You know, that's that's questions and concerns that I have. 00:11:03
Right. Well. 00:11:06
Year and a half ago, It's been 2 years now. 00:11:10
We discovered that the University of Arizona was in a hole, at least in. 00:11:13
Quarter $250 million. 00:11:17
Not anything to do with extension, nothing to do with Cooperative Extension. 00:11:20
I believe it had a lot to do with the. 00:11:25
Online university, they got that password. 00:11:27
Online university that had a lot of debt. 00:11:30
Currently continue to have a lot of debt. 00:11:32
And other issues that just weren't. 00:11:34
Being paid attention to. 00:11:36
And so the Board of Regents came over. 00:11:38
Started over and. 00:11:40
With our budgets and just started making cutbacks to your. 00:11:42
University can start to. 00:11:45
Have battles. It has been a really kind of. 00:11:47
Uncertain time for us, we get told. 00:11:50
By the day, what's happening with the budget? 00:11:52
From the. 00:11:55
On campus. 00:11:55
Very difficult. 00:11:56
Appreciate your bring up 4H program. 00:11:58
Renee was going to announce that she is retiring as well. 00:12:01
So if you've heard that. 00:12:05
She will be having an open house on August 1st. 00:12:06
And and. 00:12:09
Right now, the university. 00:12:11
Managing its budget through attrition, so when we lose people, we don't replace them. 00:12:15
Kind of helps with the keep the budget going. 00:12:19
We can't afford not to have a four inch program here. 00:12:21
So, uh. 00:12:24
We'll have an opportunity to talk with them and see what we can do. 00:12:25
Is to support that. 00:12:28
I think we're all doing our best too, so I bring in quite a bit of grants and things like that for my programs, and I know Renee 00:12:29
has some for. 00:12:34
Hers and Chris and so forth. But. 00:12:39
I think we're all using some of that money and. 00:12:42
If we can keep people. 00:12:46
If we can't support them on state funds or otherwise, then shifting them over. 00:12:48
To specific grants and programs to be able to keep their employment. 00:12:53
I have not lost any staff but like Chris said. 00:12:58
It's more the issue is. 00:13:03
Losing somebody or retiring or leaving and then us not being able to rehire. 00:13:04
Our goal has always been to maintain employment for those that want it and maintain benefits eligibility for those that want it. 00:13:09
So. 00:13:14
And then we have been like Chris said. 00:13:18
Tightening all of our, you know, travel funds and anything kind of above and beyond to just make sure we can keep the people and 00:13:21
continue to deliver all the programs. 00:13:27
But a lot of the. 00:13:33
Issues really have nothing to do with us, but they're painting kind of every department with the same brush and we're just kind 00:13:34
of. 00:13:38
Caught in the crossfire of it so. 00:13:42
We're doing our very best to continue and I think we've kind of done some projections for next year. I think we look pretty good. 00:13:45
In terms of being able to keep everybody that's currently on staff. 00:13:53
I don't know about Renee's position. That's something we don't decide. That's a state. 00:13:57
Decision if. 00:14:03
Fill fill position. 00:14:04
But faculty positions but. 00:14:06
Beyond that, I think, I think we feel. 00:14:09
Hopeful. 00:14:13
About at least the next year. 00:14:16
Yeah. 00:14:18
Hey, who could I reach out at a higher level to let them know the interest in 4H and the concerns? 00:14:21
And you don't have to give that to me, you know, because there's a lot of people online and stuff. But I, I would like an e-mail 00:14:27
or some kind of identification to where I can. 00:14:31
Reach out and. 00:14:36
And let them know how important that program is. We will do that our. 00:14:38
State Director and Martin. 00:14:42
With the person to speak to. 00:14:44
And I believe coordinating with our. 00:14:45
Advisory Board. Board. 00:14:48
Clark Richards has been our chair for many years. 00:14:50
I know he's. 00:14:52
OK. Yeah, If I, if I can get that information from you, I'd appreciate. Sure. 00:14:53
Thank you. 00:14:57
Thank you. 00:14:58
Thank you, Supervisor Clark. 00:14:59
You know, just just thinking of that and then. 00:15:02
PC supervisor Humphrey stepping up there and do that. 00:15:05
That honestly, I think need to come from Gila County as a whole. 00:15:08
The 4H program that we have in Gila County. 00:15:13
It it, it has to stay in place. We need to keep it going. 00:15:17
You can see the participants and the numbers and everything that's there for these. 00:15:22
These folks and that's something that. 00:15:27
I know. 00:15:30
For me is very near and dear to my heart. 00:15:31
Keep that going So. 00:15:33
Maybe there's a way, Mr. Menlove, we can draft something from the. 00:15:35
County is a hole that the chairman could sign. 00:15:38
That we support keeping. 00:15:41
Our 4H program. 00:15:43
And not just an individual. 00:15:45
District. I mean, it's good if we individual districts give our input, but. 00:15:48
As a whole, we're a lot more. 00:15:52
More stronger. 00:15:55
And Mr. Chairman, through very kind we can certainly. 00:15:57
Do letters of support and request that we. 00:16:00
But that continued, as strong as it has been. 00:16:04
So certainly we can do that. 00:16:08
The the other thing and. 00:16:10
And James, I asked you too. We've been giving them 70,000 now, I think for about every year we've been on the board. 00:16:13
For the most part. 00:16:20
Is it really? 00:16:22
About time we look at something of an increase. 00:16:24
We can have that discussion. 00:16:29
OK. All right. 00:16:31
And you know and and. 00:16:33
Your extension offices. 00:16:36
All the way around is just really, really important to our county. 00:16:38
It really is every aspect of your extension office. 00:16:42
Is very, very important to this county. 00:16:46
And so you can just take Ashley's. 00:16:49
Program that she continued on from. 00:16:52
Mr. Sprinkle, if it wasn't for that program, there's a lot of permittees that would not be in Business Today. 00:16:55
And so. 00:17:01
And, and, and I see everything that you're involved with, with the families and. 00:17:02
And other aspects of it so. 00:17:06
I think as a whole. 00:17:09
I think we ought to. 00:17:11
We ought to be looking at. 00:17:12
This real seriously and. 00:17:13
And seeing what we can do to help if we can do something. 00:17:15
Mr. Chair, thank you guys for. 00:17:20
Yes, thank you for the presentation and I do believe that. 00:17:24
You guys. 00:17:27
Do a lot of work in England. It's. 00:17:28
Tremendous benefit. 00:17:31
And I do agree with the. 00:17:32
Supervisor when it comes to. 00:17:35
Reviewing. 00:17:37
Our support. 00:17:39
And Mr. Menlove, I know we're not. 00:17:42
A healthy county, but. 00:17:45
Perhaps we could show. 00:17:47
A gesture. 00:17:49
Of more support. 00:17:50
As we. 00:17:51
Draft this letter. 00:17:52
And show them that we're serious enough about it to increase. 00:17:54
Are giving as a result. I would like to see that. 00:17:59
OK, good. All right. 00:18:05
Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Yeah. 00:18:07
Yes, Sir. Ask you a couple questions. 00:18:10
Yes, Sir. 00:18:13
Looks like the more majority of the funding comes from the stage. 00:18:17
Federal funding. 00:18:20
Fairly uncertain. Do you? Are you aware of any? 00:18:22
Cuts or any impact from federal funding that. 00:18:25
Gonna away. 00:18:28
Yes. 00:18:30
A few different things, so. 00:18:32
I I have so we have federal funding coming for agents is 1 Avenue, but for programming I have two federal grants. 00:18:34
One we didn't get, we thought we weren't going to get renewal notification. We're in the. 00:18:45
Going into the fourth year of a five year grant. 00:18:51
And we ended up getting notification. 00:18:55
About two months later that we are indeed getting the money, but we've been told. 00:18:59
To kind of plan as if we're not for the 5th year. 00:19:04
So we're figuring that out. 00:19:08
So for that one we dodged. 00:19:11
That we also work under some funding that is funneled through the state that's federal. 00:19:13
For nutrition and physical activity. 00:19:19
In early childhood centers and so that funding we are very uncertain of as well. 00:19:23
Because the current. 00:19:30
Umm, budget that is in the. 00:19:31
Going through right now actually. 00:19:35
Completely eliminates snap Ed and so that was. 00:19:36
Also impacts a lot of our nutrition, physical activity programming here. 00:19:40
For youth as well as adults. 00:19:45
So that those are the two that I know of right now. 00:19:48
Most of my other grants are are. 00:19:52
State funded like First things first and things like that. 00:19:56
I know that Ashley Hall has a couple avenues of. 00:19:59
Planning has either been paused but restarted, or one of them looks like it's not going to be renewed. 00:20:03
And that's something they've been doing for like 22 years. 00:20:12
But I don't know the details on that one. Chris, do you have any? 00:20:15
Yeah. So the situation with the. 00:20:19
We do have. 00:20:21
Formula funding for. 00:20:23
The federal portion of our Cooperative Extension. 00:20:25
Gosh, I'm thinking it's 4%. 00:20:28
But that does help pay for part of our. 00:20:30
80 salaries. 00:20:33
As far as the. 00:20:34
University go. We know they're going to cut us more. 00:20:35
And as far as discussions with the state Legislature? 00:20:40
And then we can talk with our state directors. We've been talking with it. 00:20:45
They still haven't come up with a state budget, as you know. 00:20:48
And we're not expecting to get any additional money from the. 00:20:51
State Legislature, thank you. 00:20:54
Thank you. Thank you guys very much. Thank you. 00:20:57
Have a good day. 00:20:59
All right, that moves us on to Item 2B, presentation of the 2024 Annual Report for the Gila County Sheriff's Office. 00:21:00
And I see we do have the sheriff, Mr. 00:21:07
Shepherd and also Sarah. 00:21:11

Thank you, Sarah. 00:25:34
Supervisor Humphrey. 00:25:36
I have no questions. 00:25:38
Supervisor Klein. 00:25:40
Sarah and Sheriff, I'd thank you both for everything you do and all your deputies, everyone involved. It's. 00:25:42
It's a huge task and. 00:25:48
And I know you guys are doing. 00:25:50
Doing well with it, so thank you so much. 00:25:52
And I'll just comment that I saw. 00:25:56
A number on here that seems surprising to me, and that is that you. 00:25:59
You had the seizures of fentanyl of 145,000,000. 00:26:04
300,000 grams. 00:26:09
That's a lot. 00:26:11
Of drugs and. 00:26:13
I think we can attribute a lot of that to the canine patrols, right? 00:26:15
Anthox, Oxford, Was the e-mail received the local celebrity up here? 00:26:22
Longer in this party like that so. 00:26:28
Well, I appreciate everything you guys are doing, so stay safe. 00:26:36
Thanks for the report. 00:26:39
And I think that's all we're going to. 00:26:42
Need to talk about on that one. So thank you. Have a great day. 00:26:44
And our next item? 00:26:51
Is going to be item 2C information discussion regarding the potential one year. 00:26:54
Agreement between Hill County and the Hill County Educational Services. 00:26:59
Agency. Uh. 00:27:03
$410,000 to continue adult education programs. 00:27:04
In. 00:27:08
For fiscal year 2526. 00:27:09
Good morning, Mr. Chair. How are you? Sir Humphrey, Mr. 00:27:12
As you know, over the last 8 1/2 years, I. 00:27:16
Take a lot of pride in. 00:27:19
Being able to fund my office and not. 00:27:21
Have to come to you for. 00:27:23
Help. You know, try, we try. We run a very. 00:27:25
I would say lean ship. 00:27:28
And we're very conscious of. 00:27:30
The money and where it goes. 00:27:32
Have clean audits, et cetera, et cetera. 00:27:34
We did hit a snag. 00:27:36
In this. 00:27:37
As you know. 00:27:39
Our adult education program operates. 00:27:41
On both ends of the county, North and South. 00:27:43
It also operates. We expanded it so that it operates. 00:27:47
Online. 00:27:51
We have an online instructor. 00:27:52
And we also have. 00:27:54
Services in the Young Library. 00:27:56
And in the Miami library And in the Hayden win. 00:27:58
So it is a. 00:28:02
Pretty robust and and formidable program. 00:28:03
Along with that. 00:28:06
We also have the testing and. 00:28:07
You're aware I've told you before there was number testing. 00:28:10
And offer a GED. 00:28:12
Or high school equivalency and globe. 00:28:14
Prior to my taking office, we now have testing centers. 00:28:16
On both sides of the county. 00:28:20
And we were also at the. 00:28:21
Santa Carlos Detention Center. 00:28:23
You know, captive audience here so. 00:28:26
Keeping me there at Test, but as well those testing said as we expanded. 00:28:28
To test to do piercing testing. 00:28:32
So when somebody needs a nursing. 00:28:34
Certificate or a teaching certificate or a principal certificate. 00:28:38
They can come to our they do come to our office. 00:28:43
And they take their. 00:28:46
They're testing through the Pearson testing. 00:28:47
And during the COVID. 00:28:50
We had people coming from all over the western United States because testing centers all over the. 00:28:51
Country were closed. We kept our open. 00:28:56
So we do a service for adult education in terms of high school diplomas. 00:28:59
Our equivalency. 00:29:03
GED and also for our testing services. 00:29:05
We also have instruction in ELL. 00:29:09
So we provide services. 00:29:11
I mean, I have a couple of individuals who come from. 00:29:13
Ukraine. 00:29:17
Vietnam. 00:29:19
Germany. 00:29:21
Japan. 00:29:22
One with a pH. 00:29:24
And they come to us to get. 00:29:25
Enough literacy in English. 00:29:28
To where they can function. 00:29:30
In the United States. 00:29:32
In we have engineers, all kinds of people. 00:29:34
Well, so that's introduction to this. 00:29:37
I always tell, you know, I tell you every year I kind of beg where I'm still trying to keep this thing going on. Everybody will 00:29:43
fund K12. 00:29:47
And they fund the universities. 00:29:50
But they don't find adult education. 00:29:52
There is no. 00:29:54
Mechanism of the Kids show up where people show up and they're funded as. 00:29:55
As they are there. 00:30:00
In terms of. 00:30:02
Coming to learn. 00:30:05
We do it through a grant. 00:30:07
Through the Department of Education. 00:30:09
And they're trying to. 00:30:12
First of four years. It recurs every four years. 00:30:13
And we use a little bit. Some of the money comes from some other sources in. 00:30:18
Part of the money comes from. 00:30:23
The secure rural schools. The SRS. 00:30:24
The SRS this year. 00:30:28
We have heard. 00:30:30
That it might be not as much and we don't know how much we're going to get until May. 00:30:31
Show about May 1st we got it in and it was cut by 75. 00:30:38
Percent. So we quit, got together. 00:30:42
And we said how can we function? 00:30:45
What can we move to? 00:30:48
To other places? How can we move money around? 00:30:50
So that we can function. 00:30:53
So we moved a bunch of positions around. 00:30:55
Or funding for the positions around. 00:30:58
But we actually came up short. 00:31:00
And this is where we came up short, came $110,000 short. 00:31:02
So, uh. 00:31:06
I understand my. 00:31:10
From Navajo County. 00:31:12
Is involved with the National Forest Counties and Schools Coalition. 00:31:14
Which keeps their eye is part of. 00:31:19
Keeps track of the SRS. 00:31:22
Secure rural schools. 00:31:25
We know that it isn't the one big beautiful bill that the language to fund. 00:31:27
To go back and fund this year. 00:31:33
OK, backfill if you will. 00:31:36
And fund next year. 00:31:38
Is in the language in the bill. 00:31:40
We know that it's in the Senate, and I have, I have the language. I was reading it. 00:31:42
We know that. 00:31:48
The legislation has 45 Democratic sponsors in 25 Republican sponsors. 00:31:49
Has good support, but the bill has to. 00:31:55
Pass. 00:31:58
So we, I'm coming to you as soon as we found out that we were not funded, I went to Mr. Menlove and I and I said. 00:32:00
I'm at a loss. We've already moved stuff around, we've done as much as we can. What do you think? 00:32:08
And he suggested that we. 00:32:13
We come to you and arrange something for a year because we still have a year lease on our building. 00:32:14
It turns out that it could be. 00:32:22
Until the end of the fiscal year, if it's funded, we would. 00:32:25
Journal it back to the county. 00:32:28
We wouldn't keep it. 00:32:30
But it will. It is a deal breaker. 00:32:32
For the adult education program in Gila County. 00:32:34
We just. 00:32:37
We won't be able to function. 00:32:38
Part of it is the supplanting issue. 00:32:40
Because we have in order to keep our grant for Ade, we have to. 00:32:44
Put in so much. 00:32:47
So that would affect. 00:32:49
That relationship as well, and maybe they could rearrange themselves. 00:32:52
I don't know. 00:32:56
I haven't checked with Ade yet, to be honest with you because. 00:32:58
It's just not time. 00:33:04
I think I need to try some other avenues before I. 00:33:07
Start droving around with. 00:33:11
With 80. 00:33:13
So that's where we stand. 00:33:14
And I would be. 00:33:17
Happy to answer any questions you've. 00:33:18
Talk before you've asked questions, but I'll answer any others. 00:33:21
OK. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 00:33:24
Yeah. Good morning And and and. 00:33:27
Apologize, you know, for you falling short. It's. 00:33:30
It's kind of the way the world's going anymore. Everybody seems to be falling short. 00:33:33
I guess a question that I have is. 00:33:38
For the adult education for Gila County. 00:33:41
On the percentage of people that you. 00:33:44
Help. What's the percentage of? 00:33:46
The participants that are. 00:33:49
From County County. 00:33:51
Oh, in terms of the GED? 00:33:54
All of them. 00:33:56
All of them, yeah. 00:33:57
Now some people will come up and use the Pearson testing center. 00:33:59
And if they come up from the valley? 00:34:06
You know, we'll, we'll test them. 00:34:08
OK, but all of the. 00:34:10
Recipients of. 00:34:11
Educational Services. 00:34:13
Are from Gila County. 00:34:15
OK. Yeah. That's the question I had because you mentioned a lot of people coming in. 00:34:17
You know, from other countries things of that nature and. 00:34:21
And not that I'm willing to help. 00:34:25
You know other people, but some of that's up to the federal. 00:34:26
And maybe even the state, because we're having a hard time taking care of Heel County. 00:34:30
So that that that was the reason for my question. 00:34:35
So so Mr. Humphrey, for example. 00:34:39
A person who comes. 00:34:42
Like a lady that was an engineer. 00:34:44
And she was in our ell and she was from. 00:34:47
This is from Vietnam. 00:34:51
Right. She moved here. Her husband lives in Gila County. She moved to Payson. 00:34:52
With her husband. 00:34:58
So she is. 00:34:59
In Gila County. 00:35:01
OK, that makes sense. 00:35:02
Yeah, it it does it it just. 00:35:04
Kind of the way it was presented, it was a little misleading and so and so that's fine and, but, but like I say, I, you know, I. 00:35:06
I think it. 00:35:15
I I think adult education is very important. 00:35:16
And and and like I say with with our budget, we. 00:35:19
We want to help people. 00:35:22
From Halo County best we can, absolutely with the funding that we do better. 00:35:24
And so thank you very much for straightening me out. 00:35:28
No, I'm sorry. I appreciate it. 00:35:32
Thank you, Mr. Klein. 00:35:35
Roy and Nick, thank you guys. 00:35:36
I know you scrambled on this one. 00:35:38
And. 00:35:40
Or everything at the federal level level right now is pretty dysfunctional? 00:35:42
And so to really put much faith in something. 00:35:47
Passing right now. 00:35:50
I mean, it's just a. 00:35:52
It's just a prayer that. 00:35:54
And so when it comes to your. 00:35:56
Adult education program. 00:35:59
I'm a huge in favor of that one. 00:36:01
I am. You guys have done awesome all these years with it. 00:36:05
The SRS money has obviously helped you with that. 00:36:08
And so forth and so. 00:36:12
To really let that go by the wayside, I for one am not. 00:36:14
For that I just. 00:36:17
We need to find the money and. 00:36:19
And help keep you going and, and hope that something passes at the federal level that we can. 00:36:21
Get back on track in the next year or so. 00:36:27
A lot of people depend on that. 00:36:30
And and we. 00:36:32
For Gila County, it's. 00:36:33
It's a huge deal. 00:36:35
So thank you both for scrambling and doing what you've been able to do. 00:36:36
So far. Well, thank you, Mr. Klein, and I want you to know that it has. 00:36:41
I will say it. 00:36:46
Lit a fire under us because what we realized is. 00:36:47
You know, if you ask me something at the state level. 00:36:51
To go something, I need to lobby on something. 00:36:54
I know legislators, I know where they are. 00:36:58
I noticed the phone numbers. 00:37:01
Not a problem. 00:37:03
OK, I'll be right down there. 00:37:05
Something like this happens at the federal level. 00:37:07
I'm like, where do I go? Who do I? 00:37:11
Contact number. 00:37:14
Turns out there. 00:37:15
My colleague. 00:37:17
Said Widen, an Oregon Democrat. 00:37:19
And. 00:37:22
Crapo. 00:37:23
Republican from. 00:37:25
Idaho are are two key people, but I. 00:37:28
I think. 00:37:31
It is important for. 00:37:32
For all of us, and I know you guys. 00:37:33
To really become familiar with. 00:37:36
With what the structure is and who the potential champions are. 00:37:39
In the West. 00:37:44
And I was a little disappointed. 00:37:45
That we don't have a champion in Arizona. 00:37:48
None of the. 00:37:51
Sponsors of the legislation. 00:37:52
Arkham, Arizona. 00:37:55
Select. 00:37:56
I think I could do better. 00:37:58
I got to do better. 00:38:01
Yeah, we all have to do. 00:38:02
We. We do. 00:38:04
And it gets really hard to follow that and. 00:38:06
Up with it and. 00:38:09
I gotta say too, Roy, there's. 00:38:11
There's time, you know. 00:38:13
Who would think you'd? 00:38:15
You'd argue over something like SRS anyway. 00:38:16
But it's one of those deals, it's a, it's a leverage. 00:38:20
Yeah, the thing that. 00:38:25
They they use and. 00:38:29
Right, wrong or indifferent? 00:38:30
You know, whether I agree with it or not, that's what happens and. 00:38:31
And we see it, you know, we see it in DC. And, you know, you talk to this when you talk to that one. 00:38:35
I hate to say it, but a lot of times. 00:38:41
They're going to tell you what you want to hear. 00:38:43
But that ain't necessarily the case when you walk out the door. 00:38:45
Order and so. 00:38:47
It doesn't hit home. 00:38:49
For them. 00:38:50
That was just saying young. 00:38:51
That $30,000 or $40,000? 00:38:53
It doesn't sound like very much. 00:38:56
To them, but it's funding. 00:38:58
It's running partially 2 positions. 00:39:00
Or whatever the case may be, or. 00:39:04
Patient or globe? 00:39:05
That they don't have the latitude to get that money. 00:39:07
All the other money is accounted. 00:39:10
So it's, I think it's very difficult to. 00:39:12
Get that through to them. 00:39:16
It's just a tiny. 00:39:17
Bit to them, no big deal. 00:39:18
Right, right. I'm taking too much time and I thank you. 00:39:20
Well, Mr. Christensen? 00:39:23
Yeah, thanks for the presentation and. 00:39:25
I agree with the other two supervisors that we're going through a lean time right now. 00:39:29
We need to have this. 00:39:34
Available and I always understood that the elected official. 00:39:36
Is the one that makes up any shortfall. 00:39:40
In the budget. 00:39:43
That's you. 00:39:45
That's a joke. 00:39:48
I'll write a check. 00:39:49
Isn't it? Absolutely. 00:39:53
Going back to it, don't worry. 00:39:56
No SO. 00:39:59
This is our budget time. This is when we're deciding how. 00:40:02
And what we're going to do, and it sounds like we we want to. 00:40:06
So. 00:40:09
I think we'll we'll wait for. 00:40:10
What we're able to do for you. 00:40:14
Thank you and I will. 00:40:16
I will finish with this. 00:40:18
Hey, I am a realist. I mean, I've been. 00:40:19
A professional for many years now. 00:40:23
If the program. 00:40:25
Can't sustain. 00:40:28
There's no one to be mad at. 00:40:32
In Gila County, because everybody. 00:40:34
Including our university friends, everybody's in the same boat. 00:40:37
So I totally understand. 00:40:41
After this year, if it's not funded and we can't go another year. 00:40:44
We can't go another year. 00:40:49
Right, so. 00:40:50
Anyway, thank you so much. Well, let's hope that helps. 00:40:52
All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:40:54
All right, so very good. So. 00:40:56
We're going to now. 00:41:00
Go to our regular agenda items and like I said before. 00:41:02
We're going to switch to item 3X. 00:41:06
For our first one. 00:41:10
Simply because we have present with us. 00:41:11
Faith Lowry, who is part of this? 00:41:14
Discussion SO. 00:41:17
Three X-rays information discussion. Action to improve economic development. Grant agreement number 05162. 00:41:18
025 between Gila County and the Northern Gila County Fair. 00:41:25
In the amount of $15,000 to educate adult and youth groups. 00:41:30
In Gila County regarding agriculture and livestock, which the board has determined to be for the benefit of the public. Now I'm 00:41:33
listed there as this is my item, but that's only because we're the ones that. 00:41:39
Presented. 00:41:46
Become part of the agenda. 00:41:47
This money comes from the general fund, if that. 00:41:48
Yes. And so anyway with us today we have. 00:41:51
Faith Lowry a very dedicated and long serving. 00:41:54
Director for the Northern Hila County Fair. 00:41:58
Good morning, Faith. Do you have a few words you could? 00:42:00
In likeness with. 00:42:03
Absolutely. And I appreciate your. 00:42:06
I just want to share as a. 00:42:10
Not just for the Northern. 00:42:12
Two account here. It hasn't. 00:42:14
Parents and how? 00:42:17
The chair and the educational. 00:42:18
Is there for my children? 00:42:21
My oldest daughter is now. 00:42:23
Agriculture teacher and a rancher. 00:42:25
She has. 00:42:27
Throwing up here in Payson and she. 00:42:29
Participated in the fair. She was an officer with FFA. 00:42:32
And she learned a lot from. 00:42:36
From the opportunity to raise livestock. 00:42:39
And to run my speaker. 00:42:42
People shake people's hands. Run a business. 00:42:45
And my other daughter. 00:42:49
He is now serving in the military, being ready to be employed. 00:42:51
A big part for. 00:42:55
High school education. 00:42:56
Was not so much in the school, but with. 00:42:58
The buffet in the. 00:43:03
Programs. 00:43:05
Find all of my kids. I have 5 of them. 00:43:06
I've been very involved in here over the years. 00:43:08
We are 100% volunteer run. 00:43:11
So there is no money that goes anywhere. 00:43:14
But to preserving the fair and this year is 71 years. 00:43:17
So I feel very proud to be a part of it. 00:43:21
I thought that in this area and even a lot of our. 00:43:24
Olive Garden club here occasion is huge. 00:43:32
And they take time off to educate. 00:43:34
Our children for kids days, they have activities, hands on, teaching them how to. 00:43:38
And how? 00:43:43
And I'm always so happy with our kids, you know? 00:43:46
Where are their food cups from? 00:43:49
It's not very common anymore. 00:43:53
So I. 00:43:55
Bring our community together in a. 00:43:58
Program. 00:44:00
Come here. We are nonprofit and we. 00:44:02
Rely on a lot of our. 00:44:05
Support to continue to bring on. 00:44:08
We celebrate our. 00:44:10
We had rodeo and. 00:44:13
Button busting. 00:44:16
And of course an equal activity, so. 00:44:17
There's really something for all these. 00:44:21
This year, what was team that paid the middle festival at the air so. 00:44:23
That should be pretty fun. 00:44:30
So we have a great. 00:44:32
Things and we just, we really work hard to bring our community together. 00:44:33

Particular line item here on this flood control that's $700,000. 00:48:30
I remember right. Was that for some staff? 00:48:35
Staffing's time like engineer time and things like that. Staff and time and if we have expenditures. 00:48:38
Related to. 00:48:44
Getting new rain gauges and things like that. 00:48:46
This is separate from. 00:48:48
Any like post fire flood mitigation that we would encounter that? 00:48:51
That runs through. 00:48:55
And two years ago, Mr. Memo helped me restructure. 00:48:57
Our reporting system so that we could break this out for you. 00:49:02
As its own fund. 00:49:06
To make it. 00:49:07
Clearer and so that. 00:49:08
When you or constituents or anyone on staff looks at the information, they can see exactly where this is. 00:49:11
Thank you for that, Marina. That's really why I asked us. All the people out there, they're listening to us. 00:49:17
Have an idea what it? 00:49:23
What this is actually for? So yes, the post fire flood. 00:49:24
Line item over the past couple of years has been more in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. 00:49:29
This is just for ongoing operations of flood control. 00:49:33
OK. 00:49:36
Thank you. 00:49:37
Yes, thank you. And with that, I'll call promotion out of freebie. 00:49:38
Mr. Chair moved to adopt the fiscal year 2526 tentative budget in the amount. 00:49:41
Of $737,503.00 for the helicopter. 00:49:47
County flood control District. 00:49:52
And I'll second that, Mr. Chair. 00:49:53
Motion. I have a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 00:49:55
Aye, aye, aye. Thank you. 00:49:58
I now call for a motion to adjourn as the Gila County. 00:50:01
Or control district board of directors and convenience the Gila county St. lighting. 00:50:04
Improvement District board of directors. So move, Mr. Chair. 00:50:08
OK, motion and 2nd those in favor say aye. 00:50:12
Hi, alright. 00:50:15
Item 3C. Information discussion action. 00:50:17
To adopt the Phys. 00:50:20
Physically, you're 2526 tentative budgets. 00:50:22
For the Hila County St. Lighting Improvement District as follows. 00:50:25
The pine slid is. 00:50:28
$24190.00 Apache Hill Slid is 4000. 00:50:30
$23 The Upper Glendale Central Heights. 00:50:34
$1744. 00:50:38
Eastbury Park Slid is $5250. 00:50:40
Miami Gardens sled would be $3836. 00:50:44
Inland central Heights. 00:50:49
19,859. 00:50:51
Dollars and Claypool lower Miami's the 29,000. 00:50:53
$815.00. 00:50:57
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:51:00
So that. 00:51:02
We can refresh the public's memory as well as any of our staff. 00:51:03
This dollar amount is just to pay the APS bill. 00:51:08
For the streetlights in these lighting improvement districts. 00:51:12
There is no administrative cost. 00:51:15
Passed along to the. 00:51:18
Constituents, it is just. 00:51:19
The tax dollars come in, we use them to pay the APS bill. 00:51:21
Happy to answer any other questions you may have. 00:51:25
Great supervisor Humphrey. 00:51:27
So if we add streetlights, these numbers could change. 00:51:29
I believe that it would depend on whether they were within these districts. 00:51:34
Right, like it depends where you add the street light. 00:51:40
And if it increases the APS bill? 00:51:42
OK. 00:51:44
OK, Supervisor Clinton. 00:51:46
I'm good. Thank you, man. 00:51:48
Yes. So Marin how does this I mean are these? 00:51:49
He's a taxed revenues. 00:51:52
So and do they actually meet the APS? 00:51:56
Bill, do they exceed it? And what if APS increases their rate? 00:51:59
That's a really good question, Mr. Chair. 00:52:03
So each year we get from the assessor's office. 00:52:06
The assessed value of the properties in each of these. 00:52:09
Hot slits and each of these slids has its. 00:52:12
Own tax authority. 00:52:17
When we're preparing the budget, we look at. 00:52:19
Where we are year to date with the tax collection and the APS bill. 00:52:22
We project that both of those are going to do. 00:52:27
If it looks like we're going to come up short. 00:52:30
We add an additional amount to next year's tax to cover that shortfall and then. 00:52:32
To ensure that we don't have a shortfall in the following year. 00:52:38
If it looks like for some reason we're going to be over. 00:52:41
Or if the. 00:52:44
The taxable value of. 00:52:46
Properties exceeds. 00:52:48
Or increases faster than. 00:52:50
The APS bill increases when the rate would come down. 00:52:52
And. 00:52:55
Attached to this agenda item. 00:52:57
You can see the year to year comparison on those rates. 00:53:00
For each of the. 00:53:04
Slid and. 00:53:05
For example, a pine slid is going. 00:53:09
Up a little bit. 00:53:11
East birdie slid coming down a little bit. 00:53:13
Miami Gardens is going up a little bit. 00:53:16
Apache Hills is going up. 00:53:19
Upper Glendale is coming down. 00:53:22
Fractional scent. 00:53:25
Midland City Central Heights is going up. 00:53:27
And the clay pool slid is also going up. 00:53:31
That is primarily due to. 00:53:34
Property values not keeping pace with. 00:53:36
The APS bills. 00:53:39
I see. 00:53:40
OK, very good that answers that and. 00:53:41
So with that, I'll call for motion. 00:53:44
Mr. Chair, I move to adopt the physical years. 00:53:47
25. 00:53:49
26 Candidate budget for the. 00:53:51

Improvement District as followed. 00:53:55

$23 Upper Glendale Central Heights, 1700 and. 00:54:04
44 E Verde Park slid. 5250 Miami Gardens slid. 00:54:09
3836. 00:54:15
Midland City. 00:54:18
Our our Midland. 00:54:20
Central heights slid. 00:54:22
19,800 and. 00:54:23
$59. 00:54:25
And Claypool or Miami slid 29,000. 00:54:27
$815.00. 00:54:31
And I will second that, Mister. OK, we have a motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 00:54:33

To adopt the 2526 tentative budget for hila county in the amount of. 00:55:45
158,297,000. 00:55:50
$158 authorized to publication. 00:55:53
Of the summary budget and set the public hearing. 00:55:56
For July 22nd, 25. 00:55:59
To adopt the. 00:56:01
Final fiscal year 2025. 00:56:02
2026 Hila County budget. 00:56:05
Mayor, thank you, Mr. Chair. 00:56:06
Good morning. 00:56:09
Chairman Christensen. Supervisor Humphrey. Supervisor Klein. 00:56:11
I've taken my watch off so that. 00:56:16
Can keep track of how much of your time I am taking up this morning. 00:56:18
And I just discovered that while the. 00:56:23
Laser pointer works. 00:56:25
It does not work on our screens. 00:56:27
So I will trust you to. 00:56:29
Follow along. 00:56:31
As you know, there are numerous pressures. 00:56:34
On Gila County's budget this year. 00:56:36
It is. 00:56:39
Mystery that things are. 00:56:40
Tenuous at the state and federal level. 00:56:43
We have done our absolute. 00:56:46
Best to take every. 00:56:48
Possible contingency into consideration. 00:56:50
Which is why this year compared to last year. 00:56:53
We have. 00:56:57
An 11 and a half million dollar increase in our budgeted ask. 00:56:59
To you. 00:57:03
You can see that. 00:57:05
On Schedule A. 00:57:07
Before I get to that, I do want to. 00:57:09
Remind both the board and staff and our constituents. 00:57:12
Who are listening or who may listen to this recording in the future? 00:57:16
That we took. 00:57:19
5 guiding principles into account while preparing this budget. 00:57:20
The key. 00:57:27
Overriding principle that we always take into consideration. 00:57:29
Is maintaining our property tax rate at 4:19? 00:57:33
We have done that this year. 00:57:37
It only gives us an additional $314,000 in revenue. 00:57:39
So when you hear, for example, from the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. 00:57:45
That their budget got cut by 340. 00:57:51
$1000. 00:57:53
Right, that's, that's all, all the extra we have. 00:57:55
In the general fund. 00:57:58
This whole year. 00:57:59
So that is a. 00:58:01
Painful number. 00:58:03
I'm usually it's much higher than that. 00:58:04
The second consideration we took into account was making sure we had a balanced budget. 00:58:07
That includes being. 00:58:12
Mindful of the. 00:58:14
Economic Estimates Commission. 00:58:16
Expenditure limit. 00:58:19
Which only went up. 00:58:21
$1,450,000 this year. 00:58:23
Our third key principle is infrastructure maintenance. 00:58:26
The fourth key principle is staffing. 00:58:30
And then your fifth key principle is. 00:58:33
Reserves. 00:58:36
As you know. 00:58:37
With the pressures that are on us from state and federal resources. 00:58:39
Having reserves is important. 00:58:43
Maintaining them for future economic stability. 00:58:45
Is equally important. 00:58:48
Within the PowerPoint presentation. 00:58:52
We have Schedule A, which is the summary schedule of estimated revenues and expenditures or expenses. 00:58:54
For fiscal year 2026. 00:59:01
This shows how the various funds. 00:59:03
Roll up. 00:59:06
For financial statement presentation. 00:59:07
And this is a good. 00:59:10
Place to point out. 00:59:11
For clarification purposes. 00:59:13
When we say something as general fund. 00:59:15
There are times that what we mean is it rolls up into the general fund for financial statement. 00:59:18
So when we fund something out of. 00:59:25
The county wide. 00:59:28
Portion of constituent funds, not the. 00:59:29
District specific. 00:59:32
Constituent funds. 00:59:33
It's called General Fund for financial statement reporting purposes. 00:59:35
That's in case the auditor goes back and listens to this. 00:59:39
Audio. 00:59:42
And wants clarification on what we meant by that. 00:59:43
And so. 00:59:46
We prepare this schedule every year. 00:59:47
And this is where we show. 00:59:49
In the bottom right hand corner there and. 00:59:52
Where the things are pointer would really come in handy. 00:59:54
That. 00:59:57
That we have. 00:59:58
In this 158,297,158 dollars. 01:00:00
We have made sure. 01:00:05
That for 2026 you will be within. 01:00:07
The Economic estimates Commission Expenditure limitation. 01:00:11
Of 53 million. 01:00:15
$43,334. 01:00:16
On the next slide. 01:00:24
You've seen this before. It was attached to the SLID, the libraries, and the flood control district. 01:00:25
This is. 01:00:31
Our 2026. 01:00:32
Posed tax levy and tax rate information. 01:00:34
This information will be in the Pace and Roundup. 01:00:38
The clerk's office has been super, super supportive in making sure that we hit all of our deadlines and get things done timely. 01:00:41
So our truth and taxation. 01:00:48
Notices are ready to go. We sent them to the clerk's office. 01:00:51
This time with all the correct information. 01:00:55
And they reflect this information. 01:00:58
Which includes, as stated before, $314,000. 01:01:01
More in primary property tax. 01:01:07
And then the increase in your library district tax which would remain. 01:01:10
The rate will remain flat. 01:01:15
They have. 01:01:18
Just over $18,000 in additional tax because of the way the. 01:01:20
Assessments worked out. 01:01:25
So going on to revenues. 01:01:33
What we've put together here, because there's an awful lot of detail. 01:01:36
In Gila County's revenue streams. 01:01:40
We have put together for you. 01:01:42
So that you have. 01:01:44
Something sort of pocket. 01:01:47
How? 01:01:49
Our property taxes. 01:01:50
Our excise tax. 01:01:52
Our licenses and permits, our intergovernmental. 01:01:53
Agreements and grants. 01:01:56
Are charges for services and other fees. 01:01:58
All come together to. 01:02:01
Get your general fund total revenue. 01:02:03
And as you can see there, 54% of the general fund revenue. 01:02:06
Comes from property taxes. 01:02:11
Beyond the General fund, this also includes General Fund. 01:02:14
So when we look at all revenues. 01:02:18
The General Fund makes up 50% of your overall revenue budget on the next slide. 01:02:20
Public Works makes up 9%. 01:02:27
Special revenue funds make up 32%. 01:02:29
Permanent funds make up 5% and then enterprise funds make up. 01:02:33
4%. 01:02:37
Our primary expenditure areas are operations, capital and reserves. 01:02:41
Our 2026 expenditure limit is 53 million. 01:02:49
$43,334. 01:02:54
Which is an increase. 01:02:56
Of 1,450,000. 01:02:59
$39.00 from the previous year. 01:03:02
When we look at. 01:03:07
Operating costs affect the budget. 01:03:09
We have our general government in that large purple. 01:03:12
Section of 34%. 01:03:16
Facilities at 2%. 01:03:18
Health and Community Services at 10%. 01:03:20
Public safety and courts at 30% and then public works at 34%. 01:03:23
At the national and international. 01:03:31
Discussion level for budgeting. 01:03:34
There has been a trend called priority based budgeting. 01:03:36
It has a drawback. 01:03:40
But so that you have it for. 01:03:43
Conversations and so that we. 01:03:46
Can show that we are taking it into consideration. 01:03:48
We have developed this. 01:03:51
The slide for you. 01:03:53
In priority based budgeting we have. 01:03:56
Broken out four. 01:03:58
Major priorities. 01:04:00
The largest being public health, safety, economic security. 01:04:02
Access, equity and justice. 01:04:07
Which is the large chunk of our services. 01:04:09
Which makes up 47% of our budget. 01:04:12
We have 5% that is workforce development and retention. 01:04:15
We've got just about 1/4. 01:04:21
Quarter for our infrastructure. 01:04:22
And another quarter for. 01:04:26
High-performing governance. 01:04:27
I feel like I'm interrupting somebody's conversation. 01:04:30
That is all we have for you today. 01:04:36
I know that your time is valuable. 01:04:39
So is our constituents time, so we're happy to answer any questions you have. 01:04:41
We are happy to discuss this further. 01:04:45
We have not. 01:04:48
Yet put together a salary plan for you. 01:04:49
Because there are. 01:04:53
There are just too many unknowns at this point. 01:04:54
We will bring a salary plan to you separately. We have capacity for it in this budget. 01:04:57
Come here and Supervisor Humphrey. 01:05:04
I have no questions. 01:05:09
I just want to thank you very, very much. 01:05:11
All the work that. 01:05:14
You guys. 01:05:15
Put into our budget. 01:05:16
And and keeping us. 01:05:18
Above board because of our counties that do operate. 01:05:20
On on below board. 01:05:25
And so it it's, it's important. 01:05:27
To me that you. 01:05:31
That you're doing a. 01:05:33
A great job of keeping us. 01:05:34
Within where we need to be, whether? 01:05:36
We like it or not. 01:05:39
And so I thank you very much. 01:05:41
That was very diplomatically put. Thank you, supervisor. And I do have to say that all of your department has really had a huge 01:05:43
hand in this. 01:05:47
Up until about a week and a half ago. 01:05:51
We had department heads trying to. 01:05:53
Carve down what they had asked for. 01:05:56
To make sure that they were being responsible. 01:05:59
And good stewards of the resources available to them and that. 01:06:02
Really is a testament to your leadership. 01:06:05
That they proactively do that. 01:06:08
Without being asked. 01:06:10
Well, thank them very much as well. 01:06:13
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. 01:06:15
Chairman, I think Mr. Menlove wanted to say something and I'll chime in after all right, Mr. Mendlas. 01:06:18
At some point it did. 01:06:24
As Marin indicated that the. 01:06:26
There's not a payroll plan at this point in time. 01:06:29
Because. 01:06:32
Mirren, in our discussions has been struggling to. 01:06:33
Find a way to give a meaningful. 01:06:37
Salary increase to our employees. 01:06:39
And with the. 01:06:41
And I'm kind of. 01:06:43
Non committal today a request for. 01:06:45
Adult education for. 01:06:49
4H and different things like that because we're to the point. 01:06:52
And Meredith indicated. 01:06:55
The property tax increase, typically that's about a million and a half dollars, so that increases. 01:06:57
About 20% of what what it typically is. 01:07:02
So our property tax. 01:07:05
Increases for whatever reason. 01:07:07
Fell drastically short this year. 01:07:10
And what that means is we typically base our salary increases off of. 01:07:12
What we have in new funding from property. 01:07:17
From property tax revenue. 01:07:19
There is not there this year. 01:07:21
And then if we continue to further erode that. 01:07:23
Allocation of $300,000 for property taxes. 01:07:25
That's why I indicated that we could have the discussion, because at this point and in this. 01:07:31
Coming year. 01:07:35
We definitely have to establish stronger priorities. 01:07:37
I'm saying OK. 01:07:40
We're not going to give our employees salary increases this year because we're going to. 01:07:42
Allocate those dollars. 01:07:46
Through these various other things you got to request. 01:07:48
4H various program and I'm not going to decry. 01:07:51
I'm not trying to say that these are not great programs are great for our youth. 01:07:54
Great for our adults and. 01:07:58
Really good things that we've been able to do. 01:08:00
We're going to have to prioritize. 01:08:03
And say this is what? 01:08:05
Is most important of these apps. 01:08:07
And that's not what this meeting is for today. 01:08:10
That's for Marin, her team and all of us to have that discussion. 01:08:14
Of establishing the priorities. 01:08:19
To be able to allocate the limited. 01:08:23
Resources. 01:08:26
The county has. 01:08:26
So I I did want to. 01:08:29
Say that. 01:08:31
There are limited and are. 01:08:34
Our sales tax revenues and other saw that. 01:08:36
Our property taxes 50% of our general fund revenue. 01:08:38
50% of revenues countrywide. 01:08:41
That is the most significant thing we have. 01:08:43
Sales tax again, it is. 01:08:47
It's kind of. 01:08:51
A little bit flat this last fiscal year as well. 01:08:53
There's not been significant increases like we've had in the past. 01:08:55
Yeah, well, so. 01:08:59
Tough decisions. It's going to be a really tough budget year. 01:09:01
And we are looking for your input to see if we can do anything at all for our employees. 01:09:04
Because it's. 01:09:09
Very tight. 01:09:11
Super Kline. 01:09:15
Thank you, James. 01:09:17
So I could tell by your. 01:09:20
Conversation this morning, there's some. 01:09:22
Concerns, uh. 01:09:24
I think that's the first time in eight years I've seen that. 01:09:25
This is the first time in eight years that we have had to struggle. 01:09:29
To fit. 01:09:34
Everybody's needs into. 01:09:35
The budget. 01:09:37
So tell me about our spinach limits. 01:09:39
And where we're headed with that? 01:09:43
The expenditure limit was set. 01:09:45
In 1979, nineteen 80 fiscal year by the economic. 01:09:47
Economic Estimates Commission. 01:09:51
And it was. 01:09:54
Intended. 01:09:55
To ensure that your primary property tax holders were not responsible for. 01:09:57
Outlandish expenditures. 01:10:02
The way that this increase. 01:10:05
Has gone. 01:10:07
It is. 01:10:09
Only. 01:10:09
Uh, compared to last year? 01:10:12
It is about 1,000,000 1/2 more. 01:10:15
Whereas your budget has grown. 01:10:18
By 11 and a half million. 01:10:21
So it's keeping. 01:10:23
It's about 10% of your increase. 01:10:25
So as we build the budget, we evaluate the expenditures. 01:10:28
To see whether they are. 01:10:32
Within the expenditure limit rules, meaning that the expenditure limit applies to them. 01:10:35
Or if they don't. 01:10:41
Things that do not come under the expenditure limit are. 01:10:44
One time federal funds. 01:10:48
State grants. 01:10:49
Intergovernmental agreements. 01:10:51
Such as how? 01:10:54
Later today you will see the Pinell Mountain. 01:10:55
Or Pinal County. 01:10:58
Medical Examiner's. 01:10:59
Contract that we have for autopsies. 01:11:01
That amount is excluded. 01:11:04
In the last couple of years, the Auditor General's office has made some decisions that have adversely affected our expenditure 01:11:08
limit. 01:11:11
Key among them being. 01:11:16
The opioid settlement for the one Arizona. 01:11:18
Funding. 01:11:22
That is not excludable and it's going to be about $1,000,000. 01:11:23
In the next fiscal. 01:11:27
The other thing that they have determined is that. 01:11:30
While in the past we were able to take. 01:11:33
All the expenditures. 01:11:35
For the half cent excise tax. 01:11:37
And exclude them. 01:11:39
Now they are only allowing us to exclude. 01:11:41
Specific capital expenditures. 01:11:44
For the building. 01:11:46
Of roads, not the maintenance. 01:11:48
Of them so all of a sudden chip seal. 01:11:51
Falls under. 01:11:55
Your expenditure limit. 01:11:56
That made about a three and a half million dollar. 01:11:57
Difference the first year. 01:12:00
That they implemented it, and they implemented it after we had. 01:12:01
Gone through that year's budget. 01:12:05
So those two things. 01:12:08
Give you a shift of about four and a half million dollars. 01:12:11
That used to be excludable. 01:12:15
Or would be excludable, but isn't. 01:12:17
According to the auditor General's. 01:12:19
Decisions. 01:12:21
The other thing that we're encountering in 2026? 01:12:23
As we go into 2027. 01:12:27
Is that December 31st of 2026? 01:12:30
Will be the end of all. 01:12:33
The federal COVID money. 01:12:35
ARPA and LATCF. 01:12:37
Will no longer be able to be expended after that. 01:12:39
Those funds are excludable from your expenditure limit because they're federal funds. 01:12:42
So basically everything we do with general fund. 01:12:48
Is affected by the expenditure limit. 01:12:53
And that is something that we take into consideration very seriously. 01:12:55
I have driven poor Mr. Menlove absolutely crazy. 01:13:00
Every time we've been at a conference or in the truck and I've been like. 01:13:04
What about this? And what about that? And what about the other thing? 01:13:07
To the point that I prefer. 01:13:11
Opposed to Mr. Menlo. 01:13:12
And because he's a gentleman, he didn't. 01:13:14
Laugh at me. 01:13:16
I propose that we. 01:13:17
Pay extra on. 01:13:19
Bond because the bond money is excludable. 01:13:21
If I pay $1,000,000 toward the bond, I can take it off the bottom of the expenditure limit. 01:13:25
That would free up capacity. 01:13:30
Somewhere else. 01:13:33
So that's one of the harebrained schemes that. 01:13:35
That is built into this just in case. 01:13:38
That if we need capacity. 01:13:41
Or if. 01:13:43
TSPRS underperforms and all of a sudden we have to fund that. 01:13:44
Because that's not excludable either. 01:13:49
That we have that capacity building. 01:13:51
It's been a wild ride. 01:13:55
So it's hard for a lot of people to understand what you just said. Yeah, I realized that as I was saying it, and somebody should 01:13:57
have opened the floor and let me fall through. 01:14:00
No, but I'm I'm glad you. 01:14:05
Gave he that still man because. 01:14:07
It's going to catch us sooner than later. 01:14:10
Basically what you're saying. 01:14:12
And so. 01:14:14
You know, as a. 01:14:15
Is the Asila county in all of. 01:14:16
Our years of being on this board and stuff. 01:14:18
We we forced ahead with a lot of projects. 01:14:20
A lot of accomplishments. 01:14:24
We've we've spent a lot of money. 01:14:27
And. 01:14:29
We have yet to raise property taxes. 01:14:30
And that's something that I am very serious about not ever doing. 01:14:33
Long time in this. 01:14:36
So I would think. 01:14:38
Um, somewhere after. 01:14:41
After this. 01:14:43
Budget is set in place and. 01:14:43
But not for our. 01:14:46
Our next budget season. 01:14:47
We probably have to have those discussions. 01:14:49
Mr. James about. 01:14:52
You know where we're going to pull up the drawstrings here and what are we going to do to tighten up our belts to? 01:14:54
To do this or that so. 01:15:00
Thank you both for the amount of work you've done on. 01:15:04
On everything and. 01:15:07
And we'll get through this one. 01:15:09
We'll we'll make it through this one. 01:15:11
But the next one could be. 01:15:13
A lot tougher. 01:15:15
The way I look at it. 01:15:16
Yeah, which is why we're. 01:15:17
We're being modeling today. 01:15:20
So that it's not shocking next year. 01:15:22
Yeah, yeah. Let's hope we can cushion that shock. 01:15:25
So, but again, thank you both and your staff and everybody that's worked on this. I, I truly appreciate all that so. 01:15:29
Thank you. 01:15:36
Yes, Thank you, Mayor. 01:15:38
I have a couple of questions SO. 01:15:40
Just to be clear. So this is kind of for everyone listening. 01:15:43
If the budget is 100. 01:15:47
58. 01:15:48
Million, roughly. That doesn't mean we're going to be spending that much. It's just. 01:15:49
The preparation in case. 01:15:53
We need to spend that much. 01:15:55
Absolutely. That's a really good question, Mr. Chair, and actually it's probably something I should build into. 01:15:57
Our presentation. 01:16:02
For budget purposes. 01:16:04
We budget for every possible dollar. 01:16:06
As both a revenue and an expense. 01:16:09
We also have to budget like we're going to spend all of our reserves. 01:16:12
We would not do that. 01:16:16
But we have to budget that way. 01:16:17
That way you have the authority to. 01:16:19
Move forward with. 01:16:22
Operating the county in a way that makes sense. Both counties. 01:16:25
My next question is approximately how much reserves do we have? 01:16:30
Right now you have $15 million. 01:16:34
OK. And so? 01:16:36
That is budgeted to span. 01:16:38
But it is reserved money. 01:16:41
It's not reflected in our income. 01:16:43
Statements and all this that you represent, it's it's. 01:16:45
It's budgeted as. 01:16:48
Reserve and reserve. 01:16:49
So we know what's there and we're saying we're going to keep it in reserve. 01:16:52
Now, as part of that figure, the reserve numbers. 01:16:55
Heard that The Pleasant Valley. 01:16:58
$3,000,000. 01:17:00
No, Sir, that is a. 01:17:02
That's designated funds. 01:17:04
OK, those are. 01:17:06
Those are different, and those because they were given to us for a specific purpose. 01:17:08
Those are held aside for that specific purpose. 01:17:12
Similarly, the remaining balance in. 01:17:15
ARPA and LATF. 01:17:18
While they are. 01:17:21
Fund specific. They are not a portion of your $15 million reserve. 01:17:22
OK. And so also the 4.19% that we charge? 01:17:27
On property taxes, is generating if I. 01:17:31
Understand the figures you've given us. 01:17:34
Somewhere in the $27 million range. 01:17:36
Not counting the secondary. 01:17:39
Property taxes. 01:17:42
So in 2025. 01:17:45
So if you look, I can go back to that slide that way. 01:17:48
I don't think I can zoom it in. 01:17:51
But this way, the public can see where we're. 01:17:52
Looking and they should be able to zoom in on their. 01:17:55
On their computers. 01:17:59
OK, so the. 01:18:00
First column here on the left. 01:18:02
Line 3A. 01:18:05
Primary property taxes. 01:18:07
For fiscal year 2025. 01:18:09
With $27,881,571. 01:18:12
For 2026. 01:18:17
That amount? 01:18:19
With the same 4. 01:18:20
.19. 01:18:21
Is $28,195,617. 01:18:23
And the difference between the 314,000? 01:18:27
OK. And so? 01:18:31
That's how much we're collecting in property taxes. 01:18:32
And our budget is 158 million. 01:18:35
I think that's a distinction people should see that we're making up the difference with. 01:18:39
Grants and. 01:18:44
Other avenues of revenue that. 01:18:47
That's what makes it tough. 01:18:51
And so for any consideration of increase for the property tax. 01:18:53
In order to make a significant difference in the budget. 01:18:58
Would have to be a significant increase. 01:19:02
In the 4.19%. 01:19:05
To even reflect. 01:19:08
In a minor way toward the 158 million. 01:19:11
And you would. 01:19:15
It would. It would fall within the expenditure limit requirement. 01:19:17
It wouldn't. 01:19:22
Right. So you wouldn't get more room in your expenditure limit even if. 01:19:23
Property tax were to go up. 01:19:26
OK. 01:19:28
I don't know how clear it is on the computer screen. 01:19:30
But if you look at that. 01:19:33
The same slide. 01:19:35
In your slide deck that I. 01:19:36
I believe that you have printed in your binders. 01:19:38
We do show at the top the maximum allowable primary property tax levy. 01:19:41
And you'll note there that. 01:19:47
That's actually decreased. 01:19:48
Than last year. 01:19:50
Right. 01:19:51
And the difference being and if we went to maximum property tax, that's what you're saying? 01:19:52
Which is what, 8% or 7 something or? 01:19:57
That we would only increase our budget by. 01:20:02
Or only increase our revenue? 01:20:05
15,000,000 or less. 01:20:07
Yeah, so not even that much money. 01:20:10
Right. And we would actually be down. 01:20:13
What is that 1,000,003? 01:20:16
And it would make housing just. 01:20:18
The taxes. 01:20:22
Unaffordable so. 01:20:23
Yes. So it's important to all of us. 01:20:24
And you all expressed that in. 01:20:28
January and February when we first met. 01:20:30
And I want to make sure your constituents know this. 01:20:34
The first thing each each of the three of you said when we sat down to talk about the budget because. 01:20:37
We have to meet separately. 01:20:42
Hey Cortana, open meeting. 01:20:43
Each one of the three of you said. 01:20:46
Property taxes are staying at 4:19. 01:20:49
Right now, no questions asked, that was the. 01:20:52
First instruction. 01:20:55
Which is why it's the first priority. 01:20:57
That we list here. 01:21:00
It's super important that our constituents be aware. 01:21:02
That that is. 01:21:06
The number one guiding principle that we take into consideration in this development. 01:21:08
So we need more building. 01:21:13
More houses, more. 01:21:14
Taxable properties. 01:21:18
That would help with it. 01:21:21
I believe Supervisor Humphrey also has some really excellent. 01:21:23
Approaches to getting things back on the tax roll. 01:21:26
That are already built. 01:21:29
And just need to be rehabbed and. 01:21:31
Have responsible property owners. 01:21:33
Right. Yeah, there's a lot of things. 01:21:35
That can increase that one. 01:21:39
If we, if I may, Mr. Chair, yes, Sir. 01:21:41
On the. 01:21:44
Working on the. 01:21:46
Mobile homes. 01:21:47
Or things of that. 01:21:49
We're we're working on. 01:21:50
Changing our. 01:21:53
On whether we can. 01:21:55
Work with people living in. 01:21:57
Mobile homes or? 01:21:59
Or not. 01:22:01
And I had like fifth wheels and trailers. 01:22:03
And then how would that? 01:22:07
How would that property value be assessed? Because. 01:22:09
If you got a $250,000 house. 01:22:12
And you got the same property next to that house, but you got a fifth wheel on it. 01:22:15
They're not getting charged. 01:22:19
The same taxes to live there. 01:22:20
As the person in the home is so at some point. 01:22:22
When we get. 01:22:26
Further. 01:22:27
With our. 01:22:28
Zoning on how we're going to do that, which we started working on and we dropped it all. 01:22:30
To go to. 01:22:34
On the short term rentals because that was a real hot firecracker so. 01:22:36
Anyway, that would also help our fire departments and everything else because they're getting their funding. 01:22:40
Off of the taxes and there's a lot of properties out there that don't have homes on them. 01:22:46
That we're not getting this. 01:22:51
The assessed value that we would. 01:22:54
As a whole. 01:22:56
And also too instead of. 01:22:57
The 4.1 taxes. 01:22:59
But uh. 01:23:02
You know, you know. 01:23:02
We've had some issues with the. 01:23:03
Assessor's office and so. 01:23:08
I you know, I would be curious to wonder where we are in assessed value. 01:23:11
Of the homes that we have that the 4.19. 01:23:15
Is charged to SO. 01:23:19
Anyway, yeah, there's a lot of different things that can go forward. 01:23:22
You know. 01:23:27
Some of the rehab houses that we're working on. 01:23:29
I would like working on a bill to be able to. 01:23:32
Get some of these homes. 01:23:37
Back on the tax. 01:23:38
That are. 01:23:40
Investors have hundreds. 01:23:42
Of properties that. 01:23:44
They're getting a central tax tube that nobody can live in them. 01:23:47
And so if we. 01:23:53
Could make them more responsible for the properties. 01:23:54
That they are holding as a investor. 01:23:57
To make them responsible for the. 01:24:02
For the properties. 01:24:05
So yeah, there's a lot of things we can do to work on to help the value of properties. 01:24:07
And what properties that we have? 01:24:12
And he'll come, but. 01:24:15
It's a step at a time, and it's a. 01:24:17
It's a It's a long process. 01:24:20
But umm. 01:24:22
I guess thank you for. 01:24:25
For for pointing that. 01:24:27
To me to point out. 01:24:29
That's a. It's one of those. 01:24:32
Opportunities that we can all collaborate. 01:24:35
To move forward and strengthen our economic base. 01:24:38
Mr. Chairman. 01:24:43
Thank you Sir, and I'm pretty. 01:24:45
That's all important and critical for us to do that. 01:24:47
Did want to point out. 01:24:50
That you have a board as a Board of Supervisors. How conservative you've been. 01:24:52
Through the years. 01:24:56
And at $4.19, there's a couple reasons that that is. 01:24:57
At that right. 01:25:01
Mostly because we have 3 1/2 percent. 01:25:02
Of all the land. 01:25:04
Healy County is private, that's all. It's taxable. It's 3 1/2% of the land. 01:25:06
That's what drives the. 01:25:11
$4.19 tax rate. 01:25:13
We could if we were consistent with what? 01:25:16
The base year was in 19791980. 01:25:19
That tax rate that's been. 01:25:22
Talked about just. 01:25:24
A little bit. 01:25:25
It could be almost $7.00. 01:25:26
Instead of 419 it could be 6 1/2 dollars. 01:25:28
You're about 50%. 01:25:32
Reduced. 01:25:33
From what it was back in that base year. 01:25:34
Again, reiterating what you as a Porter through by how conservative you are and how watchful. 01:25:38
You have been in spending. 01:25:43
And expenditures through years to keep that down. 01:25:45
Keep it. 01:25:48
Minimal. As minimal as possible. 01:25:48
And yet effectively run county government. 01:25:51
So I just, I want to point that out for the record that. 01:25:53
You do take this. 01:25:57
As a keeping it as absolutely minimum as possible as conservative. 01:25:58
As possible with our finances. 01:26:03
And try to not overburden. 01:26:05
Taxpayers. 01:26:08
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 01:26:09
Thank you. Anything else? 01:26:10
Mr. Chair, from my point. 01:26:12
Out something right here on these priorities is a. 01:26:14
Infrastructure maintenance. 01:26:17
That's huge when you're spread out as far as we are. 01:26:19
We have a lot of buildings. 01:26:23
We were scattered from here to. 01:26:25
To patient and so that. 01:26:29
That takes a big hit. I know it does, and a lot of our buildings are. 01:26:31
Or fairly old. 01:26:35
Not that we can replace them because. 01:26:37
You know, buildings. Expensive, but. 01:26:39
That is something right there that I know. 01:26:42
Gives us a big hit. 01:26:46
Every year. 01:26:48
Is that and. 01:26:49
So I would just say going forward it. 01:26:51
It would be nice to. 01:26:53
Have a scheduled meeting or work session, whatever you. 01:26:54
It is that we can all sit down and talk about. 01:26:57
About these different issues, because there are several of them. 01:27:01
And get ready. 01:27:04
For the next go round. 01:27:07
Yeah, other than that. 01:27:10
We've we've come a long way. Somehow we've had. 01:27:12
I believe we made a big difference and there's a lot more we could do if we have the. 01:27:15
Resources to do it and I really want to. 01:27:21
To all of our department heads, thank you for the job they've done. 01:27:23
I know me personally, I've had arguments with several of you over different things here and there. 01:27:27
But. 01:27:32
That's all part of it. 01:27:33
But it's been a good job that everybody's come forth and. 01:27:34
Hold it together and. 01:27:37
And worked on SO. 01:27:39
I appreciate that. 01:27:41
If I may, just to clarify, infrastructure maintenance also includes roads. 01:27:42
Bridges, culverts, things of that nature. 01:27:47
In addition to the buildings. 01:27:50
And that and that. And you're absolutely right, Marin, and you know that. 01:27:54
We take on a lot of other responsibilities, whether it's federal roads or whatever that we maintain. 01:27:59
I mean, it's all part of the big package. 01:28:04
And that's where. 01:28:06
I think it would really be good when we really delve into it to. 01:28:07
Take a good hard look at everything we're scattered out doing. 01:28:11
OK. If there's nothing else, then I'll call for a motion on. 01:28:17

Information, discussion, action. 01:30:39
Arizona Department of. 01:30:41
Administration, Arizona. 01:30:42
911 Program grant agreement number. 01:30:44
AD0AA Z 911-2609. 01:30:47

Sheriff's Office in the amount of. 01:30:55
$209,439 for the performance period. 01:30:57
July 125 through June 3026. 01:31:01
Good morning. 01:31:04
Good morning. 01:31:05
Mr. Chair, members of the Board. 01:31:06
This year's grant was submitted. 01:31:08
On behalf of the Hugh County Sheriff's Office and the Payson. 01:31:11
Police Department peace apps. 01:31:15
And the basic grant. 01:31:17
Was for. 01:31:21
Operational funding. 01:31:23
For the two ECC's or emergency communication centers. 01:31:25
AT16278, which covers. 01:31:29
The ESI net. 01:31:32
Or public safety communications. 01:31:34
And. 01:31:36
The in-house equipment to the computers that. 01:31:38
We use to answer 911 phone calls. 01:31:41
We also submitted 3 projects, 2 for Hula County and one for PCPD. 01:31:44
The grant was a. 01:31:50
Approved it. 01:31:51
May and the only project that was. 01:31:53
Approved was for Payson PD and essentially that was. 01:31:57
A renewal of. 01:32:02
The grant that they. 01:32:04
Or the award that they got last year for a recorder, they were unable to complete their project and so they just moved that money 01:32:05
from last year to this year. 01:32:09
So in the end, we have our. 01:32:14
Operational funding. 01:32:19
The project for patient D. 01:32:21
And then the administrative costs would come to 209,000. 01:32:24
$439. 01:32:28
And with that, I'll take any questions. 01:32:30
This one is Supervisor Humphrey. 01:32:32
I have no questions other than thank you for running that program. That's got to be difficult to. 01:32:34
Take those 911 calls. 01:32:40
I guess part of it would be rewarding for being able to help, but. 01:32:43
It would be difficult to be the one that's. 01:32:47
To help, it's rewarding for me to be able to help. 01:32:50
These dispatchers, I've never been a dispatcher. 01:32:53
And I honestly think this is one of the hardest jobs. 01:32:56
Aside from being. 01:33:00
A police officer. A deputy. 01:33:03
Or a surgeon. 01:33:06
But honestly, this is one of the hardest jobs. 01:33:07
I think I've ever seen in my life. 01:33:11
And it's getting. 01:33:12
It's not getting any easier because of all the. 01:33:13
The uh. 01:33:15
Technology that's coming on. 01:33:17
The technology is supposed to make it easier, but you have to learn the technology. 01:33:18
So yeah. 01:33:22
It's it's a lot sometimes. 01:33:23
Well, thank you very much. 01:33:25
As supervisor client. 01:33:27
Deborah, thank you. 01:33:28
Appreciate it. 01:33:29
Thank you very much. With that, I'll call for a motion. 01:33:30
Mr. Chair, I move to approve grant agreement number ADOA. 01:33:33

$0.74 Good morning, Paula. How are you? 01:34:28
Good morning, Chairman, members of the Board. 01:34:32
Morning almost, right? 01:34:34
Good afternoon. 01:34:36
I made it through the morning, so I wanted to give you a little background on this. This is through our Community Services 01:34:38
program. 01:34:41
And actually, I have one of my experts. 01:34:45
In the onions and she is actually one that works in our weatherization and re. 01:34:47
Rehab Services. 01:34:52
With the Community Development Block Grant. 01:34:54
So and we want to thank. 01:34:57
Finance for actually helping us with this, but we did do a walk through. 01:34:59
A property here in this area. 01:35:04
It's in a historical area and actually a historical. 01:35:07
Cool, so. 01:35:11
They walked through and actually we had two bids and then. 01:35:13
With lead. 01:35:18
In the home it takes a little bit different restoration for lead. 01:35:19
So obviously one of our bidders had to drop out, so we were down to actually the one bid. 01:35:24
That actually came in and actually lead is very expensive. 01:35:30
To to restore and you'll notice in the budget that was one of the. 01:35:34
Items that was. 01:35:39
And in the older homes, you're going to have lead. 01:35:41
So that is one of the things that we do have to go through with our program. 01:35:44
I wanted to also tell you that there will be a lien on the property. 01:35:49
The home is located in an area that. 01:35:55
Around $195,000 is what the homes go for. 01:35:57
So just to give you a little background of. 01:36:01
So when you're looking at the. 01:36:04
The property values, that's why. 01:36:05
This bid is going to be a lien for 15 years. 01:36:08
On the property, so I'll answer any questions that you might have. 01:36:12
Or carrying a rocking. 01:36:17
Might answer any questions you. 01:36:19
Because she is actually our expert. OK, let's find out. Thank you, Paula. Supervisor Humphrey, thank you. 01:36:22
OK, this is to do a a restoration of a home. 01:36:26
Yes, OK. And the stipulations for that much money to go into that home if they have to own the home for? 01:36:30
10 years. 01:36:37
Yes, Sir. 01:36:38
They do have to. They actually have to. 01:36:39
Meet income eligibility. 01:36:43
Right, they have to, actually. 01:36:45
Have the assessments done. They have to and. 01:36:47
The lien will be for 15 years. 01:36:50
However, in the event that the property owner does sell. 01:36:52
There is a. 01:36:56
Scale. 01:36:59
That would be where we would actually be paid back. 01:37:00
At a fee. There's a fee scale. 01:37:03
Orally. 01:37:06
Thank you I. 01:37:09
You're welcome. Am I? 01:37:10
Contractor days, I used to work on some of these phones, so it's important for the people to know that. 01:37:11
We're just not giving people right that money to restore their home. And there you go, a good luck. 01:37:15
Sell it tomorrow and have fun. 01:37:21
So yeah, I just wanted that. 01:37:23
To be out to the public, and that if they do. 01:37:26
Cell or something happens were actually it's given to family members they are the lean is still. 01:37:28
Yeah. Thank you very much. 01:37:36
For sharing that Father Klein. 01:37:37
Paula, thank you. I'm good. 01:37:40
Yeah, I'm good too. So why don't we, uh. 01:37:42
Or promotion. Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve service contract #0. 01:37:45
Or 2425. 01:37:50
With BMS Cat LLC Stratton restoration for housing rehabilitation project. 01:37:53
CDBG 120-204-06AS presented. 01:37:59
Mr. Chair, I'll second that a motion and a second to approve Those in favor say aye, aye. 01:38:05
I thank you. 01:38:11
Paula, I noticed you have another one here, so. 01:38:13
How upsetting would it be to move up this item? 01:38:16
Which is item 3K. 01:38:20
OK. All right. 01:38:26
We want to keep you all happy over there, so. 01:38:28
We have one more Let's go ahead and take care of 3K information discussion, action. 01:38:36
To authorize the advertisement of requests for proposal number 042. 01:38:41
Reaching 0 to 5 property cleanup services. 01:38:46
Our contractors to prove property cleanup services. 01:38:48
To heal a kind. 01:38:51
Thank you, Chairman, members of the board, for moving that up and actually giving me an opportunity. 01:38:53
To discuss this, which is one of the things you were discussing earlier, is kind of. 01:38:59
Doing some cleanup, some property cleanups. 01:39:03
And I just want to give you a little background just so that you have some information so. 01:39:07
And I know that in the past. 01:39:13
A lot of the companies come from out of town. 01:39:16
So I wanted to just give you a little information regarding that. 01:39:18
So there are three companies. 01:39:22
And of those three companies? 01:39:24
There is about. 01:39:26
They hire local workers when they get here. 01:39:27
So that is, and they actually want them to work. 01:39:31
From this area. 01:39:34
The companies come in and they will hire workers from this area, so that's great. We've done 17 property cleanups this year. 01:39:36
And I know that you've all seen pictures of that. 01:39:44
They're pretty proud of it. 01:39:48
And we wanted to make sure that. 01:39:51
We were able to continue this property cleanup at the rate that you were requesting. 01:39:54
So we. 01:39:59
Actually are doing this to advertise bids. 01:40:00
Which we can actually get an. 01:40:04
We can actually streamline this process so that we can actually do the property cleanups maybe a little bit faster. 01:40:06
Than with multiple contractors in place already. 01:40:14
So that it'll be an easier process for. 01:40:18
Our staff to actually go through and get. 01:40:21
The cleanups done and the companies paid because that's important. 01:40:24
Because one of the things that happens is we hold up there. 01:40:28
Our money line if we don't get everything. 01:40:31
Processed quickly. 01:40:33
So, and I did want to let you know that. 01:40:34
In July we have a local contractor that is very, very interested. 01:40:38
And we'll be doing one of our cleanups. 01:40:42
So we are excited about that. We have been asking local contractors please come on board. 01:40:45
There are a lot of eligibility requirements and things. 01:40:51
Some of them don't have that and the property cleanups do not. 01:40:54
We're just looking at the bids to see. 01:40:59
That it's affordable and that they can do the job correctly so. 01:41:01
I'll answer any other questions you have about the property cleanup. It's a little different than community services this. 01:41:05
Falls under environmental health and obviously we have community development that helps us out with this, so. 01:41:11
If you have any questions. 01:41:17
Myself or Randy or anyone or Michael. 01:41:19
Answer OK, Thank you, Policy Brother Humphrey. 01:41:22
I have no questions other than thank you for cleaning up those. 01:41:26
Phones they have. 01:41:29
Some of them have been needed to be done for a long time. 01:41:31
And so thank you very much for working that and the staff and everybody that has has worked on this program a lot and Mr. Menlo 01:41:35
for. 01:41:39
Helping us with some funding to work on some of these homes. 01:41:44
And also beings that they don't have to be BPI certified. Appreciate you looking. 01:41:47
With local contractors. 01:41:52
To to do the projects on some of these so. 01:41:54
I think the whole program. 01:41:58
Very, very much for. 01:42:00

And I thank you for giving us our grants over the years. 01:49:00
And so I'm here today to hopefully be able to get this grant again. 01:49:04
So this is our new board. We started in May 1st. 01:49:10
And we have. 01:49:14
Eight members of our board, actually 7 and then Rosemary. 01:49:16
Goff has been on the board since 2013, so we've made her a historian. 01:49:19
Wonderful part of our community in Tano. 01:49:25
And last year we were able to paint. 01:49:27
The building it had been. 01:49:30
Painted since 2013. 01:49:32
And that those funds came from? 01:49:34
Part of the grant that we received last year. 01:49:37
And also we do a Wild West days every year and. 01:49:40
Money that came in from that we were able to paint our building. 01:49:43
This year. 01:49:47
We've made some accomplishments. 01:49:49
We've helped the the town has a trunk or treat every year we've been able to. 01:49:51
Help with that, they raised over $20,000. 01:49:56
This year we Co hosted the Wild West days. We brought in almost $14,000 with that. 01:50:00
And with those funds, we were able to. 01:50:06
Actually, where you have our board meetings this evening. 01:50:09
And we are presenting $1000 to the fire department. 01:50:12
$1000 to our library and $1000 in food to our food ministry. 01:50:15
So the Chamber does like to help the community, but we need a lot of improvements on our building. 01:50:20
We're continuously working to improve visibility and outreach through. 01:50:27
Branding and events. 01:50:31
Updating our website. 01:50:33
Adding an area for the members to pay dues online. 01:50:35
Our accomplishments that we've made the most successful was the Wild West days. This is the 16th year. 01:50:40
Purchase new padded chairs for the community events. 01:50:45
Brought in Actually, we have 20 new members. 01:50:49
Just between May and. 01:50:51
Half of June. 01:50:53
Which we now have 48 members of our chamber. 01:50:55
We're starting our. 01:50:59
Doing a first members club, Breakfast club. 01:51:01
And then tomorrow we will have a lunch and learn. 01:51:04
So that's our goal is to try to connect our community. 01:51:07
With having different events that come out that we can do mixers. 01:51:10
Monday we started doing family night. 01:51:15
Which is a game night every other Monday. 01:51:17
Last night we had 17 people there. 01:51:19
And it's a wonderful way to bring our community together. 01:51:22
And some of the goals that we have. 01:51:26
Is again bringing in another 20 members. We've brought 20 in. I would like to as a president. 01:51:28
Before the end of the year, have another 20 members. 01:51:33
Join us. 01:51:35
We're starting doing ribbon cutting with new businesses. 01:51:37
We have a new Mexican restaurant that came in and we also have. 01:51:40
Coffee and cones. 01:51:44
So in October we're going to have a. 01:51:46
Ribbon cutting for them. 01:51:48
We want to hold mixers and barbecues. 01:51:50
Obviously connect the members with the businesses. Umm. 01:51:53
We started painting the inside, the whole inside of the building we painted. 01:51:57
A couple of our board members, myself and another gal. 01:52:02
Painted the building, it looks beautiful inside. Some repairs that we need to do still are the deck. 01:52:05
The flooring and. 01:52:11
The roof. 01:52:13
So those are items that we're still working on. 01:52:14
Getting umm. 01:52:16
Done so, the grant would be a huge. 01:52:18
Asset for. 01:52:20
Our property taxes and our insurance alone. 01:52:22
Are more than $5600. 01:52:25
So having this grant would be. 01:52:28
A huge deal for us. 01:52:30
Our board and community. 01:52:32
And let's see what else I have. 01:52:35
Here, this was the Wild West days where we raised the money. 01:52:37
And I've already explained to you what we're using with part of it. 01:52:41
And the other. 01:52:44
Part that we have is our flooring and the roof that we're having to get replaced. 01:52:45
And that is my presentation and I. 01:52:51
First time here so I apologize if I was a little nervous. 01:52:54
But I appreciate all of you and. 01:52:58
That is where we're at. 01:53:01
With that. 01:53:03
So if anybody has any questions, I'm here to. 01:53:04
Hopefully I can answer them for you. Well, thank you for that, Krista. Good presentation, Supervisor Humphrey. Yeah, I have no 01:53:07
questions. Just thank you for all you do for tunnel vision and thank you for supporting my meetings in your beautiful building 01:53:12
that. 01:53:16
Painting and keeps getting worked on I. 01:53:21
I appreciate the participation. 01:53:24
So much and so I just want to thank you. 01:53:26
Thank you. 01:53:29
Supervisor. 01:53:30
Good job for everything you're doing. 01:53:31
Yeah, yeah, the chambers in our. 01:53:34
Wright County do a lot of work. 01:53:36
Volunteers in itself. 01:53:38
Appreciate that. We're happy to support anyway, alcohol promotion, Mr. Chair. 01:53:40
Yo, yes, I'm sorry, can I ask you a question? Yes. 01:53:45
In your observation, you're very well connected with the community, but what? 01:53:48
Completion of the Tomah Creek bridge. What is that? 01:53:53
Average tunnel bas. 01:53:55
Well, what is Summitana Basin as it's tripled it in size? 01:53:57
So with that, we also have brought in new businesses. 01:54:01
And as president of the Excuse me of the Chamber this year. 01:54:04
My goal is to connect. 01:54:09
The community to the businesses. 01:54:11
And by having these events that we're having the lunch and learns, The Breakfast Club and mixers. 01:54:13
The ribbon cutting. 01:54:18
We're bringing people out. 01:54:19
Into the community the game night. 01:54:21
Was one of our board members, Michael, that decided to do that? 01:54:22
And it's. 01:54:26
It's only we've only done it 2 times and it's neat to see there was over like. 01:54:28
17 people there last night. 01:54:31
With their families. 01:54:33
And the bridge, obviously it helps us because now we have a way to get across to. 01:54:35
Events that would happen. 01:54:41
I mean, there were many times when I was a member of the Kiwanis. 01:54:42
That I couldn't go to the board meetings because I live across the Creek. 01:54:46
So now we can get across. 01:54:50
Safely and. 01:54:52
It's been dry since it's been filled but. 01:54:53
Thank you. 01:54:57
You said that it has. 01:54:58
Given an opportunity for growth. 01:55:01
So definitely, I appreciate that and appreciate your engagement and the community. 01:55:03
Thank you. 01:55:07
Thank you. And growth means more taxes. 01:55:08
Yep, yeah. 01:55:10
OK. Thank you. With that, I'll call for motion. 01:55:14
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve economic development agreement number. 01:55:16
04252025. 01:55:20

Mr. Chair, I'll second that. 01:55:30
Motion the second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 01:55:32
All right. Thank you so much. 01:55:35

Pinell County for several years now. 01:56:03
We first entered into it. 01:56:05
2020 for the 2021 fiscal year. 01:56:08
It has saved the county. 01:56:11
A significant amount of money each year. 01:56:13
And we would like to continue using their services. 01:56:15
Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 01:56:19
I have no questions. 01:56:21

As a primitive Rd. 01:57:00
And accepting it into the Hula County maintenance. 01:57:02
Maintained Rd. system. 01:57:05
As a primitive Rd. Good morning, Alex. 01:57:07
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Board of Supervisors. 01:57:09
As you know, Hill County Public Works receives requests to bring roads into the maintenance system all the time. 01:57:12
Kings Drive is one of the road. 01:57:18
Request that we received after reviewing it. 01:57:20
It crosses over to. 01:57:23
Established plants. 01:57:26
But it was never established vote for the county. 01:57:27
Leo itself, though, was. 01:57:29
And so this. 01:57:32
Additional 500 feet. 01:57:33
As a primitive Rd. 01:57:34
Will not increase the amount of time that we need to. 01:57:35
Maintain E British states, but it will. 01:57:38
Improve the area itself so. 01:57:41
The cost benefit is. 01:57:44
Good. So we'll bring this before the board for. 01:57:46
Acceptance. 01:57:49
Hey, Alex. Brother ******. 01:57:51
No questions. 01:57:53
Supervisor Klein. 01:57:55
I'm good. Thanks, Helen. Yeah, this is in my district and we have constituents that. 01:57:56
Triggered this and this actually started with home arrow. 01:58:00
And this is a. 01:58:04
A mess of a road and so. 01:58:07
A lot of people live on it and so this will help. 01:58:09
Quite a bit. 01:58:12
All right. Thank you. So I'll call for a motion. 01:58:13
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to adopt resolution. 01:58:16
25-06-03. 01:58:20
I'll second that. 01:58:25
A motion and a second to approve those in favor say aye. 01:58:26
Aye, aye. 01:58:29
Alex, we have. 01:58:31
All right, we're going to. 01:58:33
I'll call for a motion. 01:58:35
To recess as the Hilo County Board of Supervisors and convene at the Gila County Flood. 01:58:37
Control district board of directors. 01:58:42
So moved. 01:58:47
I'll second it. 01:58:48
All those in favor say aye aye. 01:58:50
Hi. Hi. 01:58:53
Item 3. P Information discussion action to approve. 01:58:54
4 runner master services agreement statement of work between. 01:58:57
Hewitt County and the Forerunner Industries Incorporated. 01:59:01
For the purchase of 4 runner software. 01:59:05
For the initial term of June 1725. 01:59:08
Through June 1628. 01:59:11
For the contract amount not to exceed $46,550. 01:59:13
Alex. 01:59:18
Thank you, Mr. Chair. 01:59:20
As we talked about earlier in the day. 01:59:21
There's a budget for the floodplain and you were questioning what some of that. 01:59:25
Go to. 01:59:28
Well, we would like to. 01:59:29
Use some of that fun in to get this software. 01:59:32
As you know, FEMA's. 01:59:35
Flood plain. 01:59:36
NFIP, National Flood Insurance Program. 01:59:39
As what is referred to as the CRS critical Rating system. 01:59:42
And there's 10 levels to that system. 01:59:45
Hill County's been in that system at a level 10 since 1998. 01:59:48
Each time we raise a level. 01:59:52
From 8:50 to 8 and so on and so forth. 01:59:54
We actually. 01:59:56
Gets a 5%. 01:59:58
Decrease in the. 02:00:00
Tax rate. 02:00:03
For a flood insurance. 02:00:04
So. 02:00:06
Your constituents get 5% back every time we increase that. 02:00:07
Level and yet we have not done that. 02:00:10
So working with Forerunner, our goal is to actually. 02:00:13
Raise our rating in that CRS. 02:00:16
So that your constituents can get money back. 02:00:19
I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have on that. 02:00:23
Great, Alex. Supervisor Humphrey, I have no question. 02:00:25
By the Klein How does this work Alex? Is it like GPS? 02:00:29
Uh, driven or? 02:00:34
So there's. 02:00:36
Milestones at each of these threshold levels and so once we pass those. 02:00:37
Those levels and. 02:00:41
Foreigner will help us achieve that. We will go to. 02:00:42
FEMA Region 9. 02:00:46
And we will. 02:00:47
Present the data that we've passed these thresholds and then. 02:00:48
Point that percentage will be. 02:00:51
Brought down from. 02:00:53
The insurance rate. 02:00:55
So this could help people that. 02:00:57
Or actually. 02:00:58
Out of the floodplain. 02:01:00
Just to prove that. 02:01:02
Yes, anyone who has flood insurance, whether they're in the floodplain or not, is entitled to this percentage. 02:01:03
OK. Thank you. 02:01:08
Thank you, Alex. 02:01:11
What is our rating right now? 02:01:12
Where are the Quest 10? 02:01:14
Little kebab so. 02:01:15
All right, great. 02:01:17
And we're hoping to get up to where? 02:01:19
With this maneuver. 02:01:21
With this program, we'd hope. 02:01:22
To get to at least. 02:01:23
As we increase through those thresholds, there's more and more responsibilities. 02:01:26
So to give you an example. 02:01:31
Maricopa's only other Level 3. 02:01:34
And they have 15 people working on this. 02:01:36
In their floodplain department, whereas we have. 02:01:38
3. 02:01:42
Right. 02:01:43
So that could be a 10%. 02:01:44
Value there so. 02:01:46
Great. Thank you. 02:01:48
I have no questions and I'll call for a motion. 02:01:49
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to approve Forerunner Master Service agreement. 02:01:52
And statement of work. 02:01:56
Between Gila County. 02:01:58
And 4 Runner Industries Incorporated for the purchase of 4 Runner software as presented. 02:01:59
Mr. Chair, I'll second. 02:02:05
Motion in a second to approve. Those in favor say aye aye. 02:02:07
I thank you, Alex. 02:02:11
I'll call for a motion to adjourn as the Gila County Flood Control District Board of Directors. 02:02:13
We convene at the Halo County Board of Supervisors. 02:02:18
So move, Mister Jack. 02:02:21
I'll second that. 02:02:23
A motion and a second. Those in favor say aye aye. 02:02:24
Item 3 Q is information discussion action to authorize the advertisement of invitation for bid number. 02:02:28
06012025. 02:02:34
The Globe Courthouse parking lot pavement project. 02:02:38
Good afternoon, Mr. White. 02:02:41
Thank you, Chairman. Supervisors. 02:02:44
This is just getting your permission to go ahead and go out to bid for the courthouse. 02:02:46
Paving parking lot, Paving job. 02:02:53
We're estimating it to be around 5:50 to 6:50 somewhere in that neighborhood, but we'll know when the bids come in. 02:02:55
The goal is to get approval to go out to bid now. 02:03:01
When the design is done towards the end of this month. 02:03:05
We'll be able to go right out to bid. 02:03:08
With the goal of trying to getting. 02:03:09
Get the actual bid and the contract back to the board. 02:03:11
In August. 02:03:16
So that it can be time for the mineral. 02:03:17
Projects. 02:03:19
OK. Thank you, supervisor. 02:03:21
I have no question. 02:03:23
Supervisor Klein, I'm good. Thank you, Tori. 02:03:24
Thank you. I'll call for motion. 02:03:27
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to authorize the advertisement of invitation for. 02:03:29
Bids number 060. 02:03:33
12025. 02:03:36
Globe Courthouse parking lot. 02:03:38
Statement project. 02:03:40
I'll second that motion and 2nd to approve. Those in favor say aye. 02:03:42
Aye, aye. 02:03:45
On to item three, our information discussion action to adopt resolution. 02:03:47
Number 250602 accepting the drainage easement from John. 02:03:52
B Yanez. 02:03:57
And Irene Yanez. 02:03:59
Mr. White. Thank you, Chairman, Supervisors. 02:04:01
This is. 02:04:04
A drainage system. 02:04:07
It's part of a larger drainage system. I think we've got a map up there we're already taking care of. 02:04:08
Most of the drainage channel in this neighborhood. 02:04:14
There's a little. 02:04:18
Section I don't know. 02:04:19
Why we haven't or haven't been maintaining it, but it doesn't make sense for the homeowners in that area to maintain it. 02:04:20
This is really. 02:04:27
Almost in between two different. 02:04:29
Homes and it's coming off. 02:04:32
The mountain and it goes down into an area which we're already maintaining. 02:04:34
I don't, I don't really think the homeowners really have the capacity. 02:04:39
To really maintain that section of the channel. 02:04:44
So they're willing to give us an easement so we can get in there, keep that maintained the way it should be so that. 02:04:48
Complete graded system works the way that it's intended to work, so. 02:04:54
Super. 02:04:59
I thank you very much for getting this done. I've spoke with Mr. Yonhads and apparently. 02:05:02
You know. 02:05:07
The easement has something that may be fallen in the cracks or something of that nature. 02:05:08
So I appreciate you working with Mr. Yanis to get this easement. 02:05:13
So that we can, because in that area drainage is really important. 02:05:18
And so thank you. 02:05:23
For for working on. 02:05:25
Thank you, Supervisor Klein. I'm good. Thank you, Troy. 02:05:27
Yeah, I think Troy for promotion. 02:05:30
Mr. Chair, I moved to adopt resolution #25-06. 02:05:33
That show too, and I will second that. 02:05:37
Motion and a second to approve. Those in favor say aye. 02:05:40

And $0.98. 02:06:31
OK, Troy. 02:06:33
Thank you, Chairman. Supervisors, again, this is Pinellas County Cooperative contract that we're using to save the 2025 chip seal 02:06:34
program. 02:06:38
This is an amount of 207. 02:06:43
Just under $207,000. 02:06:46
With western emulsion so. 02:06:50
Again, many things to. 02:06:55
Olivia and Carrie and Christy for. 02:06:58
Finding this contract and getting it to you guys in time for us to. 02:07:02
Save our chip sale season, but. 02:07:06
Yep, that's it, unless you have any questions. Thank you, Supervisor Humphrey. 02:07:09
I don't have any questions other than thank you. I found I thought it would be real difficult to find an oil company this time of 02:07:12
year when? 02:07:16
That is what they do and this is their busy season. But but yes, how how sweet that is to be able to be able to go ahead. 02:07:19
With our projects as we had. 02:07:27
Plan so. 02:07:29
Thank you very much. 02:07:30
Supervisor Klein. 02:07:31
Yeah. Thank you all for doing that, that. 02:07:32
That's that's a good leg. 02:07:35
And I think those. 02:07:37
That were involved instrumental in getting this. Absolutely. Thank you. 02:07:39
With that, I'll call for motion. 02:07:43
Mr. Chair, I'll make the motion to. 02:07:44

I'll second that. 02:08:21
OK, motion and a second to approve those in favor. 02:08:23
Say aye, aye. 02:08:26
Aye, and unanimous. And we'll go to 3T last one for information, discussion, action. 02:08:28

Of design and planning for construction of Russell Gulch landfill cell. 02:08:42
3B For the term of June 1725 through June. 02:08:47
1626. 02:08:51
For contract amount not to exceed 26,000. 02:08:53
$420.00. 02:08:57
Thank you, Chairman, Supervisor SO. 02:08:59
Something I didn't know, by the way, Aaron's not here today. You might notice he's dealing with a staffing shortage with the 02:09:01
landfill today. So. 02:09:05
He's not able to make it. 02:09:10
Something that I've learned. 02:09:13
Believe it or not, just yesterday regarding the landfill. 02:09:15
Russellville's landfill. 02:09:19
Matter of fact, both Aaron and I learned that yesterday. Is that the original design of this landfill? 02:09:21
For cell 3A was supposed to be. 02:09:26
1/3 bigger. 02:09:29
Than what it ended up being. 02:09:30
I think originally. 02:09:33
The landfill was going to go all the way to where the bike shop's at. 02:09:35
And I guess a decision was made. 02:09:39
During the design phase of the. 02:09:41
Project. 02:09:42
Not to remove. 02:09:44
The bike shop. 02:09:45
So they scaled. 02:09:47
The project back. 02:09:48
I only mentioned that because I don't. 02:09:50
I don't know if that has anything to do with. 02:09:51
The timeline that I've been hearing. 02:09:54
For as long as this landfill. 02:09:57
Was. 02:09:59
Estimated to last. 02:10:01
But that said, there's still other reasons. 02:10:03
Why we find ourselves here a lot quicker than we thought we were going to find ourselves here. 02:10:06
And I'm going to, I'm going to try to. 02:10:12
Explain these as best I can, but I think. 02:10:15
One of the number one reasons for certain is. 02:10:18
We have an increase. 02:10:22
Tonnage intake. 02:10:25
And what was used for the planning? 02:10:26
Of this. 02:10:29
Selfie A. 02:10:32
They were estimating. 02:10:34
Around 20 tons as part of the design. 02:10:36
Tonnage. 02:10:39
20 tons a year for the design tonnage. 02:10:41
And over the last two years, we've just blown that out of the water. We're 30% over. 02:10:43
So we're 30% over. 02:10:48
The intaking of tonnage. 02:10:51
From what they. 02:10:54
Base the design of the sell on when they gave the estimates to how long it would last. 02:10:55
That's number one. 02:11:00
#2. 02:11:02
Certainly is. 02:11:04
The material type that we're getting. 02:11:07
At the landfill, a lot of times when the engineers are doing these estimates, they'll estimate. 02:11:09
An average for our landfill. 02:11:15
Of our type and our location for. 02:11:17
The type of material that's going to come. 02:11:20
And there's. 02:11:23
One of the things we're seeing at the Russell Gulf Landfill. 02:11:25
Is of the. 02:11:28
Very significant. 02:11:29
Increase. 02:11:31
In the amount of construction. 02:11:33
And and really. 02:11:35
Bulky waste which can't be compact. 02:11:38
That the estimate on this is. 02:11:42
Significantly higher than what they originally estimated, and probably that is, it can't. 02:11:45
Compact down. 02:11:50
So construction to be in bulky ways can't come back down. 02:11:51
So when you take. 02:11:55
The significant increase we're seeing in. 02:11:57
Construction material in bulky ways. 02:12:00
Along with. 02:12:02
Just the increase in the amount of tonnage we thought we'd receive. 02:12:03
You're looking at about. 02:12:07
50 to 60%. 02:12:09
In increased. 02:12:11
Airspace, just in those two things alone. 02:12:13
The third thing? 02:12:17
Is operational. 02:12:19
Inefficiencies. 02:12:22
And one of the things we've been looking at. 02:12:24
Lately. 02:12:28
Currently the way that it works is. 02:12:31
The landfill. 02:12:34
Hours of operation. 02:12:36
Are open to the public. 02:12:38
Are the exact same hours. 02:12:40
That the staff works. 02:12:42
So if we're working from six. 02:12:43
To 430 of the landfills open from 6:00 to 4:00. There's a line there when they get there and then. 02:12:47
When you post get it for, there's still people in the line so. 02:12:52
The exact amount of time the staff is there. 02:12:56
Is when traffic at the landfill. 02:12:59
And that's a problem for a lot of reasons. 02:13:01
Number one, the only thing that the staff is doing. 02:13:04
All day long is just dealing with the trash that's coming in. 02:13:08
They're not doing any other operational things that they need to be doing at the land. 02:13:12
And one of the most important things that they should be doing is. 02:13:17
At the end of the day. 02:13:22
Getting a real good compaction. 02:13:23
And what's been received that day? 02:13:26
But there's no time. 02:13:28
As soon as the cars leave, they leave. Soon as the cars get there, they get there. 02:13:30
Other things aren't being done as far as. 02:13:34
Erosion control. 02:13:37
Channel erosion control maintenance. 02:13:39
High maintenance. 02:13:43
There's just a lot of. 02:13:45
Other operational. 02:13:46
Latest things that are not being done, but the main thing that's affecting. 02:13:47
The airspace. 02:13:51
They're just not having the time. 02:13:53
To do the compaction. 02:13:55
And rework that shelf at. 02:13:57
At the end of every day. 02:13:59
So with that said. 02:14:01
We are. 02:14:03
Working with the staff. 02:14:04
We are coming up with some alternatives to fix those operational inefficiencies. 02:14:06
So that we're not playing a part. 02:14:12
On. 02:14:14
How fast this wind that's going up. So we're going to be back to this board with some. 02:14:15
Alternatives for the board to consider on how we can. 02:14:19
Mitigate the operational inefficiencies. 02:14:23
Seeing the landfill? 02:14:26
And then the. 02:14:29
Fourth thing is. 02:14:31
And final. 02:14:33
Is inadequate compassion. 02:14:36
We have the wrong size compactor. 02:14:40
It's way too small. 02:14:42
For the amount of debris that we're bringing in out there and the amount of trash we're bringing in there. 02:14:44
The compactor that we should have should be a lot heavier. 02:14:49
A lot bigger. 02:14:52
So it's. 02:14:53
What's happening? 02:14:57
The trash that we're getting that is compactable, we've got a compactor on it that just isn't heavy enough to get the compaction 02:14:58
that we need. So. 02:15:01
That's another thing that we're going to want to take a look at is. 02:15:05
You know, getting the right equipment for the job. 02:15:10
So really. 02:15:13
What you have? 02:15:14
Is uh. 02:15:15
The increased tonnage. 02:15:17
That was far greater than what the design was. 02:15:19
You have the. 02:15:22
The addition of. 02:15:26
Construction material and parking material higher than what? The estimate? 02:15:28
Was the operational limitations that we have. 02:15:32
And the inadequate equipment. 02:15:35
That's what brings us here today to ask to start. 02:15:38
3B. 02:15:42
I will say. 02:15:44
One more thing though. 02:15:45
If we can. 02:15:48
Get 3D. 02:15:50
Moving in. 02:15:52
Once we start working 3B. 02:15:55
You're going to gain more. 02:15:57
3 then. 02:16:01
Than what you have now. 02:16:03
The problem that we're experiencing now is 3A is a very small shelf. 02:16:05
So we're only going to be able to go up so high before we can't work it anymore. 02:16:09
I can't get traffic up there anymore. 02:16:13
Due to the shelf size and I think that was. 02:16:17
Part of when it got cut back from. 02:16:19
When it got shrunk during the design 1/3. 02:16:24
Size smaller. 02:16:27
But nonetheless, once. 02:16:29
Once we get 3B going. 02:16:30
Then we can work 3B up to where 3/8 is and then 3A can go up higher. 02:16:35
So even though we need. 02:16:40
3B Sooner than we thought we were going to need it. 02:16:42
We still will get extended lifeout of three. 02:16:46
It's just because of its size and we can't work it and we can't. 02:16:49
Go up too high before. 02:16:54
Before we got stop sending people up there to dump trash. 02:16:56
We will regain that back once we begin. 02:17:00
Catches up to it and we have a larger. 02:17:03
Larger shelf. 02:17:06
So what this contract does is this. 02:17:08
This contract gets. 02:17:10
Our consult. 02:17:12
SCS on board. 02:17:14
To do the design and do the submittals to adequ. 02:17:16
So that. 02:17:21
To move forward, we can actually. 02:17:22
Put it out the bid, get 3B done. 02:17:24
And then get that. 02:17:27
Get more of that light back out of three and continue. 02:17:30
Landfill right now as it stands. 02:17:33
We probably got 12. 02:17:36
Months. Maybe if we stretch it we can get 18 months. 02:17:38
Left on what we can do with three. 02:17:43
But like I said, once we get 3B going and caught up, we get more of 3/8 time back. 02:17:46
We just can't get there without 3B, if that makes sense. 02:17:51
Is that I'd be happy to answer any questions. 02:17:58
Alright, we'll see if you'll be happy. 02:18:00
Supervisor. 02:18:04
I'm three, yeah. 02:18:05
A ton of questions. 02:18:07
I I guess I I feel misled of. 02:18:13
Where we were going? The dark. 02:18:15
Landfill expansion. 02:18:17
And first question. 02:18:18
Does 3B. 02:18:20
Get rid of the bike shop that's sitting in the middle of landfill. 02:18:22
Sleepy does get rid of the bike shop. 02:18:26
OK, that's. 02:18:29
That's a great thing. 02:18:30
I I guess. 02:18:32
The other question is. 02:18:35
If if this this is to uh. 02:18:38
Approve engineering for design planning. 02:18:41
Construction of Russellville's landfill sale. 3B. 02:18:44
Is this engineering going to take more than a year? 02:18:48
No, the the engineering for this is. 02:18:52
Pretty straightforward because. 02:18:54
When we did 3A, we also. 02:18:56
Planned the whole area, even including 3B so that. 02:18:59
The actual area has already gone through its approval process with. 02:19:02
ADEQ, that saves up a lot of times, so all we got to do is do the actual design of it. 02:19:07
Submitted to ADQ for the construction plan approval and then we're moving forward so. 02:19:12
What they have left to do out there is only about 30 to 45 days worth of design and then? 02:19:18
Up to 60 days for approval with 80 Q and then we're offered roll with. 02:19:24
OK. Yes, I I would like to see it's often rolling. 02:19:29
I have had a. 02:19:33
Lot of complaints. 02:19:34
With that landfill on on lines and. 02:19:36
And you know the? 02:19:40
Yeah, just. 02:19:42
We we need, we need to have a bigger dump area, we need to enlarge that, we need to go forward. 02:19:44
'Cause it it's. 02:19:50
Like I say this. 02:19:52
That's probably been one of my biggest. 02:19:53
Earnings from constituents. 02:19:56
Is long lines, time and things of that nature and I appreciate you. 02:19:58
Working with that and and and helping us get the road done and helping us. 02:20:03
With with Rd. crews up there. 02:20:07
To help make up for the. 02:20:10
Of activities that the landfill. 02:20:13
Crew does not have time to do. 02:20:17
So yeah, we. 02:20:20
We need. 02:20:22
It that's kind of been an issue. 02:20:23
For for a lot of years on that landfill. So we need to get that. 02:20:26
Rolling and in good shape and. 02:20:31
And. 02:20:33
And help with time and everything so. 02:20:34
Yeah, I, I. 02:20:36
Thank you for bringing this before us. 02:20:37
Thank you for the. 02:20:41
For the News. 02:20:42
Of the importance. 02:20:44
Of us needing to go forward with. 02:20:46
That so so thank you, Troy. I appreciate it. 02:20:49
You're welcome. And I just want to mention one one thing. 02:20:52
And I failed to mention it when I was talking about operational inefficiencies. 02:20:55
That is not a dig on the staff out there because that's some of the hardest working staff that I've seen. The amount of time that 02:21:00
they put in out there and the amount of work that they do out there is incredible. That's at both landfills, to be honest with 02:21:03
you. 02:21:07
They put a lot of heart and soul into that. 02:21:12
And they are not doing anything wrong, as a matter of fact considering. 02:21:14
That they've had no time outside of operational hours. 02:21:18
It's amazing. The landfill is in the condition that it's in, in my opinion. 02:21:22
So the staff out there is is doing a phenomenal job. They just need our help. 02:21:26
And giving them the time without traffic coming through to actually. 02:21:31
Maintain it and. 02:21:35
Properly and they want to. 02:21:36
Right, and and and. 02:21:38
Manpower shortage and things of that nature, they've been working lots and lots of. 02:21:40
Hours there, so my hats off to them very much. 02:21:45
Thank you. Appreciate that. 02:21:48
Supervisor client. 02:21:50
So surprised or Humphrey hit on it. You know, the 12 to 18 months seems like a real short time frame for this outfit. 02:21:51
Usually it takes a lot longer than that to get through. 02:22:00
Some of these protesters so. 02:22:02
If you think that can happen that quick. 02:22:04
Great that. 02:22:06
That's going to be a huge help because basically if it doesn't, I don't know what you're going to do. 02:22:07
Um, so. 02:22:12
You know, I think we're all had our. 02:22:16
Mindset on a certain time train for 3/8 but. 02:22:18
If we need to address it. 02:22:21
And jumping and get done when you get it done. 02:22:22
And obviously there's some other issues like you said, timing issues during the day. 02:22:25
Compactor issues, equipment issues, whatever it is so. 02:22:30
A question would be to you, Troy, is are you going to? 02:22:33
Roll this out like it's a work session or something. We can all. 02:22:36
Sit down and talk about it, because. 02:22:40
When we start talking compactors and and additional hours or hour, that's going to work. 02:22:43
It's gonna run in some money. 02:22:49
And so we need to get everything on the table so. 02:22:52
Yeah, yeah, we're going to do this at a work session. 02:22:54
Work session. 02:22:57
It might be at a regular. 02:22:59
Board meeting in July because I want to get this moving as fast as we can, but. 02:23:02
It'll be a work study item, maybe during the first. 02:23:06
Board meeting in July. 02:23:11
More than likely the second one by the time we work everything out and get it to you. But yeah, we plan on doing that with this 02:23:13
council in a work study. 02:23:16
Yeah, that's. 02:23:20
Senator, the sooner we get, the better off the law be for sure. And that's the only time we can talk so. 02:23:22
Thanks for doing that and. 02:23:28
Thanks for bringing this to us. I mean, these are the things that. 02:23:30
We'll get you off guard. 02:23:33
And fight pretty hard when it comes to dollars. So thanks for getting this out there. 02:23:35
Yeah. Thanks, Troy. 02:23:41
So yeah, I have the understanding that this. 02:23:44
Really Recent improvement 3A. 02:23:47
Would last much longer. 02:23:50
And you inherited this? I think Aaron inherited this. I really like Aaron. 02:23:53
I think he's doing great. 02:23:58
Well, thank you, Woody. 02:23:59
You're welcome. Yeah. 02:24:01
I make a mint cup of coffee. 02:24:03
So they inherited this. 02:24:07
I don't know who decided to. 02:24:09
No, no. I'm. 02:24:13
No, we decided to downside. 02:24:16
This project. 02:24:18
I would be interested to know. I know you probably don't, but it. 02:24:20
You know this is an inherited issue. 02:24:23
Why it was downsized I don't know. 02:24:26
Because now we've got to start all over again with another improvement. 02:24:28
And that's going to be pretty expensive. We could be into some money. 02:24:31
And I'm I. 02:24:36
Is the enterprise going to pay for this? 02:24:37
The enterprise will pay for it, OK. 02:24:40
And are you suggesting that we change? 02:24:43
The hours of the landfill in order to get this. 02:24:45
We have to consider. 02:24:49
20 years out. 02:24:51
The compaction and everything and if we need another 30 minutes or. 02:24:52
Hour to do that we. 02:24:55
You know. 02:24:58
Are you suggesting that might be something we talk about? 02:24:59
I I definitely think that's one of the alternatives right for. 02:25:02
For the poor, the consider for sure. 02:25:06
Right. 02:25:08
Yeah, OK. 02:25:09
Yeah, I remember asking Melanie. 02:25:13
Why are we in the landfill business? Because this is an expensive proposition. 02:25:16
And her answer was what I believe. 02:25:20
Is good. 02:25:23
And that is? 02:25:24
Because the county can do it less expensively. 02:25:25

This is our one of our. 02:33:34
Or boards I have appointed people on and I had a vacancy and Jesse was interested in doing it and. 02:33:36

On it, Jesse. 02:33:44
Pretty involved in the community of Globe. 02:33:45
Can you Supervisor Humphrey? 02:33:49
No questions. 02:33:50
Only I've never heard of the Hill County Personnel Commission. 02:33:51
What is that? There's something now. 02:33:55
Yes, yeah. 02:33:57
Is it a personal thing? 02:33:59
No, OK. 02:34:01
You're involved, you just didn't know it. 02:34:03
So what do they do? 02:34:06
The Personnel Commission, they, they address issues. 02:34:10
Personnel issues and stuff like that that come through. 02:34:13
A board, you know, like for. 02:34:16
Claims and things like that. 02:34:19
And I think James May want to add something to it, I don't know. 02:34:22
Hey, Mr. Chairman, So I don't necessarily need to. It's if there are issues related to personnel. 02:34:25
I'm trying a person might be terminated for cause. 02:34:31
And they might question that, so they'll go before the personnel Commission. 02:34:35
It was, in fact. 02:34:39
To validate. 02:34:41
Decisions that are made. So those are some of the things that. 02:34:42
Happen on the Personnel Commission. 02:34:45
Very good. That's similar to what I serve on with the. 02:34:47
With the deputies and all, what is that called? 02:34:53
So anyway. 02:34:57
Yes, it's where we review qualifications and eligibility for. 02:34:59
Yeah, OK. 02:35:04
Yeah, I've, I've been, I've been on this. 02:35:05
I've been a part of these before. 02:35:07
Or it is a good? 02:35:08
You know it really is if. 02:35:11
If you want, I'll trade you some time. You can get more involved. 02:35:14
With that, I'll call for motion. 02:35:17
For you to trade or. 02:35:21
3 Y OK I move to a point. 02:35:24
