[9:21] request i'll just introduce myself
[9:26] my name is uh fern bernoulli i'm the naval county
[9:31] board of supervisor in the district 1 which covers
[9:35] majority of the navajo nations
[9:39] on the northern end and also some poopy areas
[9:43] and part of the city around some city
[9:48] and um not sun city sun valley
[9:53] excuse me close enough anyways um and navajo we introduce ourselves by
[10:00] clan so i'm bitter water clan born for near water my
[10:06] grand paternal grandfathers are
[10:11] folded arms and my
[10:14] paternal grandfather this red house
[10:18] so i'm from the black mesa area near the peabody coal mine
[10:24] police area so
[10:27] thank you city officials mayor vice mayor and all the
[10:33] board members for
[10:36] listening to rochelle to give details on the
[10:41] broadband thank you thank you welcome
[10:46] so um mayor the request tonight is for a letter of support for navajo county's
[10:51] application for the arizona commerce authority's
[10:55] rural broadband grant so in 2020 navajo county hired magellan consultants to
[11:00] help us develop a broadband master plan to really figure out how do we get
[11:04] reliable affordable broadband to navajo county because i think all of us are
[11:09] aware what we have doesn't work well when it
[11:13] works so um based on that plan what what was determined was that we have no
[11:18] redundancy within navajo county so when one part of the the system goes out we
[11:22] all go out um and so
[11:25] what we are proposing to do is to apply to the commerce authority to implement a
[11:30] redundant loop that would take broadband middle model
[11:34] fiber from holbrook all the way south on 77 through show low
[11:40] down to pine top lakeside out to huber overguard and then implement a wireless
[11:46] network from hebrew overguard over chevron canyon out
[11:49] to winslow so the intent would be that this would
[11:53] be the county-owned middle mile network
[11:56] that then third-party internet service providers could come into our
[12:00] communities and lease that fiber to provide last-mile internet services out
[12:05] to businesses and residences throughout navajo county
[12:10] we feel that this is a great investment for the entire county and that it will
[12:15] really improve the quality of broadband service we have
[12:19] the other advantage about what this plan is hoping to do is that we've um
[12:24] partnered with and consulted with both of the well not both all three of the
[12:28] tribes within the county hopi navajo nation and the white mountain apache
[12:32] tribe so that our plan aligns with and dubs dovetails into the the broadband
[12:38] plans that they have so that we're not only creating um that redundancy for our
[12:42] non-tribal communities but we're also tapping into the work and the
[12:46] infrastructure that our tribal communities are building so that we're
[12:48] leveraging all of the resources to really
[12:52] build up this entire county so the the request that we're hoping
[12:57] from you is that you um mayor will sign on to a joint letter of support from all
[13:02] of the mayors within navajo county in support of this project that
[13:06] navajo county is applying for we're also um getting letters of support from the
[13:11] president of navajo nation and chairwoman lee gatewood with the white
[13:15] mountain apache tribe as well
[13:22] could you just find middle mile network and last mile infrastructure
[13:27] i can so the middle mile network is really um
[13:31] the think of it as kind of the highway
[13:34] system that gets the service from place to place it really functions as the
[13:39] roadway whereas last mile is the service that actually comes to your home it's
[13:45] the the wires that are required to actually hook up your computer to the
[13:49] internet or to actually get the service to the home so the county won't be
[13:53] investing in that last mile provider service what we're investing in is the
[13:58] roadway what we have heard time and time again from the service providers who do
[14:02] exist in our area is that the most expensive part of providing
[14:06] internet service is the middle mile infrastructure it's building out
[14:10] those systems and so as a result they don't invest in those we and we see
[14:15] that across the country um service providers are hesitant to invest
[14:19] in rural communities because it is so expensive to invest in that middle model
[14:23] infrastructure because we're all spread out they would rather put those dollars
[14:27] in in more concentrated populations so what the county um is doing as part of
[14:33] this proposal is we actually released an rfp that just closed on monday for a
[14:40] last mile partner who will then be able to work
[14:43] with the county to bring in those last mile service
[14:46] providers to actually get from the the middle mile infrastructure to the homes
[14:51] because we recognize if we don't have actual internet service providers
[14:56] that middle model infrastructure doesn't do any good so the entire proposal
[15:01] includes last mile partnerships to get service
[15:04] out to the end user
[15:08] anybody else else have any comments or questions for yourself
[15:14] one more married council um
[15:18] so navajo county has taken this on was there any kind of
[15:24] business businesses in the area that were in this
[15:28] part of the united states that were willing to take this on so that's what
[15:31] the intent of the rfp was for was to find an internet service provider who
[15:37] would be willing to partner with the county
[15:39] on this project application so the county is in the process of reviewing
[15:44] those um responses to that rfp currently as we
[15:49] speak i think they had their first review committee meeting yesterday
[15:52] i will say that the county has um committed to
[15:56] allocating a large portion of their argo dollars to the match for this project um
[16:01] the project is anticipated to cost between 17 and 20 million dollars to
[16:06] build out this middle mile infrastructure and so the county has um
[16:11] has committed a significant amount of their dollars for the project okay so
[16:15] when it's all said and done who will own
[16:19] the infrastructure the county um and the reason for that is in order to prevent
[16:25] monopolies um so that the the access to last mile services uh is
[16:32] as affordable as possible and so that it encourages competition
[16:37] right now i think we all know we only have
[16:40] two strong service providers in our area and
[16:43] when you only have two service providers there's not much choice for consumers
[16:47] and so the hope is that by the county owning the infrastructure um we'll be
[16:52] able to lease that to multiple providers to help
[16:55] drive competition okay thank you you have a question yeah
[17:02] so so we all know that they just passed
[17:04] this big infrastructure
[17:08] so we know there's going to be money out there for this especially like this last
[17:12] mile so has that been looked into by the
[17:16] county um it has okay
[17:21] and so is that gonna help pick up for our
[17:25] residents on in the county
[17:28] to get that to the house yes so that is part of the comprehensive
[17:33] master plan we've already begun discussing um
[17:37] what that next phase looks like we're we are confident that um we will be able to
[17:42] get the funding for the middle mile infrastructure all 17 million
[17:47] through this round of funding through the commerce authority the commerce
[17:50] authority has already said um they have another 100 million coming through at
[17:56] the state level it's unclear whether that is part of their infrastructure
[17:59] allocation or whether that's separate from our allocation but we know at
[18:03] minimum there is another 100 million coming through in this state
[18:07] so part of the conversation we're having in our next
[18:12] round of conversations with which whatever whatever partner we end up on
[18:16] um internet service provider will be that conversation of what is our next um
[18:21] grant application look like to actually get that infrastructure built out um to
[18:27] the end user to the businesses to the homes um and that will be based on
[18:31] uh communities that are currently underserved or unserved um it will
[18:36] depend on the speeds one of the things that was found out in the master
[18:41] planning process was the actual speed tests that magellan did
[18:46] throughout the county and so what we learned which was really surprising is
[18:49] that what most of us pay for and the speeds that we're supposed to be getting
[18:53] based on the service we paid for is not what we received that's probably no real
[18:58] surprise to any of you um but magellan was able to empirically show that by
[19:02] having residents who took the survey actually conduct speed tests
[19:06] on the service they were receiving in their wherever they were taking it at
[19:09] work or at home so that is the next phase of our round of grant applications
[19:15] both at the federal level as well as the state dollars that will be coming out
[19:22] well um
[19:24] so once it's all done so the last mile
[19:28] uh infrastructure that would be put out to bid or
[19:33] we're not quite sure what that would look like because um
[19:37] the way the middle mile project is designed
[19:40] we will be able to begin leasing once that infrastructure
[19:44] is built we will begin to release that middle mile fiber
[19:47] so we might not need as much grant funding for last mile connectivity
[19:52] because a lot of times your internet service providers will build
[19:56] out because they want to own that last mile infrastructure they don't want the
[20:00] county to own it um and so if we cover the cost for the middle
[20:04] model they're more than likely to cover the cost for the last mile so the amount
[20:08] of grant funding necessary to cover that last mile will not we don't anticipate
[20:12] will be as much um so we're not sure how much
[20:15] that that will be okay and you have you all
[20:18] considered because we have two providers in the area now is there a possibility
[20:22] that they could buy all that or or would you have a competitive where
[20:27] other entities could come in all of the capacity on the the middle
[20:32] mile is that what you're doing no on the the
[20:35] last mile infrastructure
[20:38] no because they would have to in order to
[20:41] um in order for any provider um to own
[20:46] essentially the last mile they would have to lease all of that capacity from
[20:49] the county on the middle mile because the county's goal is to create
[20:54] competition it would be my guess that the county
[20:57] would not be open to sole sourcing all of that middle mile fiber to one
[21:02] provider okay yeah that's my question thank you
[21:07] any other comments or questions phil thank you appreciate it yeah
[21:13] okay did we take a little initiative
[21:27] second have a motion and a second all in favor
[21:36] moving on to item e and this is going back to what we first reading from
[21:42] the last meeting we had ordinance 21 14
[21:47] the second reading
[21:52] ordinance of the city of holbrook arizona regarding condominiums and
[21:56] townhouses whereas people are moving to holbrook creating a scarcity of housing
[22:02] and whereas housing costs continue to rise and whereas condominiums and
[22:07] townhouses offer an option for those who are unable to find housing or may not be
[22:12] able to afford a single family home and whereas although condominiums are
[22:17] defined in the city code condominiums and townhouses are not specifically
[22:22] listed in any zone and whereas it is the desire of the city
[22:26] council to clarify that condominiums and townhouses are allowed to be built in
[22:32] the city
[22:35] and this is second reason so i'm sure we'll entertain a motion i'll
[22:41] make a motion that we approve ordinance 21-14
[22:46] second motion and a second and
[22:50] this is an ordinance so it requires a roll called vote
[22:54] uh mirror young aye
[22:57] council member dixon aye councilmember kester all right council member marsh
[23:02] aye council member nielsen aye councilmember wilford aye
[23:07] ocean passes ted thank you for the work on that
[23:11] you're welcome i think it's very good for our community
[23:14] to clean up the code that this way well just for those watching if they don't
[23:18] haven't kept up from when we did this we read this the first time all this is
[23:22] basically updating language and definitions in the
[23:27] ordinance here to provide opportunities for additional capacity and
[23:32] additional types of buildings or residences
[23:38] thank you for that explanation moving on to item f resolution
[23:44] 21-13 resign a resolution designating
[23:48] authority to execute an airport rescue grant
[23:52] i'm sure we'll entertain a motion
[23:56] adopt resolution
[24:00] second devotion and i'll read this resolution by hitting
[24:04] only unless well i'll read the whereas because it does have the dollar figures
[24:09] resolution 2113 a resolution of the merit council the city of holbrook
[24:13] navajo county arizona designating authority to execute an
[24:18] airport rescue grant where whereas the city has been approved
[24:23] to receive 22 000 in federal funds titled airport rescue grant offer
[24:30] for the holbrook municipal airport and whereas
[24:33] the federal aviation administration agrees to pay
[24:36] 100 of the allowable costs incurred as a
[24:40] result of and in accordance with this grant and
[24:43] whereas as part of the acceptance the mayor and
[24:46] the city council must approve authority to execute this group
[24:52] we have a motion and a second on the floor
[24:56] again a resolution requires a roll call vote
[25:00] do you have a question comments yes
[25:04] um so this is
[25:07] titled the airport rescue grant and i might take exception with that
[25:12] title our airport does not need rescuing um the other thing is
[25:17] some things i brought up on past grants namely
[25:21] under page 9 section 22 and page 20

[34:26] our community center they're doing a remodel
[34:28] staff is painting replacing floors windows lights upgrading the restrooms
[34:32] to handling kept accessible we purchased new chairs
[34:36] and now that location will be able to use for small
[34:40] events up to 48 people the daily rental fee on that is 50 right
[34:44] now our community center is booked just about every weekend so this gives them
[34:48] provides another opportunity folks that have small events
[34:52] and then it also allows us to properly properly utilize
[34:55] that building so we're excited about getting that done uh we'll also be
[34:59] putting some new windows in the police department and finally should be getting
[35:02] gutters installed i've been working on that program for a while we had to go to
[35:06] a different vendor and then in addition to that we purchased some new mobile
[35:10] computers for the police department
[35:14] also work is being done on the leski park concession stand
[35:17] um they will restart that work they shifted gears to
[35:21] the community center because of the colder weather
[35:24] it's a lot nicer working on the inside there
[35:27] and then uh the next project that we've got coming up is going to be the
[35:30] restrooms at the golf course i don't know if any of you have taken a look at
[35:33] those restrooms that they're pretty in pretty bad shape
[35:36] uh steve was pretty excited about that when i told him the day that that's the
[35:39] next uh project that we have coming up so i'll be upgraded new paint new
[35:42] flooring new toilets new sinks and upgrade to be
[35:45] handicapped accessible i'm really looking forward to that because those
[35:47] restrooms are in pretty bad shape then finally um i'm adding borrow field to
[35:53] the parks renovation grant program that we had talked about in the past all the
[35:56] work that we're doing we had a request and apparently they've been trying for
[35:59] many many years now to get lighting in place and so with this grant we'll be
[36:03] able to add lighting to barrel field and we'll also be replacing the bleachers
[36:07] bleachers are in pretty bad shape somebody's been jumping on them so
[36:10] i'm also doing some research there are other opportunities for other grants as
[36:15] far as the baseball fields are concerned
[36:18] uh and that may or may not happen we'll see but i'll look into that
[36:23] whether or not we get that particular grant we do have grant funds though to
[36:26] finish up that project so we will be getting uh new lights and new bleachers
