I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

And through the Republic for which it stands.

One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and just disperse all.

31
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:48,240
Thank you. Yes, me, Mr. Gallardo.

32
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Thank you, Madam Chair, and yes, me, thank you so much for starting us off today.

33
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Appreciate it. Madam Chair, as we all know, we, the office kind of rotate and find a special person to come and lead us off in our daily work.

34
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:21,240
At our board meetings, and yes, me, she has been with the, with us for the last two years, two years, two years, two years, a issue student.

35
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:28,240
I didn't know this. She enjoys pickleball. Is that true? Is that true? I didn't know this. Okay, we learned stuff.

36
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:34,240
And she, she definitely enjoys volunteer in her time, when she's not here.

37
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,240
I, here at the county, she's been with the clerk's office for a couple of years now, as she said.

38
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,240
But just thank you so much, not only for what you do.

39
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,240
On behalf of the board, the county and our employees, but also in the community.

40
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,240
I'm a big community guy. I love to be out there. I always said it takes a village.

41
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,240
Everyone coming together and helping each other out.

42
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,240
So thank you for spending your time and that's the luck it is you and pickleball.

43
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Thank you, Mr. Gallardo.

44
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Well, I've only been here a year and a half, but I don't ever recall running into Yasmeen or seeing her where she didn't have a beautiful smile on her face.

45
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,240
So thank you.

46
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Now we will proceed to our pet showcase.

47
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:39,240
And in place of our wonderful Kim, we have wonderful May to introduce us to today's beautiful star.

48
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,240
So this is Momo, obviously it's a different dog, but they do look very similar.

49
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:52,240
You guys probably have met Momo. He's a little more motivated at the board meetings, but I don't think he's ever been to a board meeting before, so I think it's fair.

50
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,240
So our poor Momo was an owner, surrender. So he was surrendered after he's a year old.

51
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,240
So he's lived with an owner for his whole life.

52
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,240
But it is a rough transition, but on the bright side we know so many more things about him than we normally would as a stray.

53
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:17,240
So we know that he's great with kids. We know that he's great with other dogs, although allegedly he likes to bully larger dogs, so watch out.

54
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:26,240
He also loves fetch and squeaky toys. And overall he's just a great dog. He's already the complete package. He's body trained. He's not destructive.

55
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,240
And the adoption fee is way through July 19th for empty the shelter is adoption special.

56
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:39,240
So honestly he's just the perfect package. He's just a little skittish as many small dogs are, but he's really just such a sweet guy.

57
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:47,240
Thank you very much. Take a good look. He's going to be flying off the shelves.

58
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Good luck, Momo. Wonderful.

59
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,240
Now we will, uh, measure to, I'm sorry for interrupting.

60
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,240
If I may, I do have one announcement. Oh please. I don't think I asked you, but now I will ask you.

61
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:16,240
Thank you. Item number 91 on page 62. It is the IGA with the state of Arizona. That's item number 91.

62
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,240
That item is being pulled and is being continued to the August 19th meeting.

63
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,240
It's item number 91.

64
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,240
And that's all I have. Thank you. Thank you for keeping us on track.

65
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,240
We'll continue to tell which date August 19th. Thank you very much.

66
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,240
We will now proceed to a child support awareness proclamation.

67
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,240
Madam Clerk, would you please read it?

68
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,240
Yes, thank you. Proclamation child support awareness month August 2026.

69
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:06,240
For ask Maricopa County joins the state of Arizona and the nation in recognizing August as child support awareness month.

70
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:17,240
And whereas a child who receives emotional and financial support is more likely to feel safe and secure and is better equipped with the courage to be their very best in life.

71
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:32,240
And whereas the Department of Economic Security Division of Child Support Services is committed to putting Arizona's children first and to humbly serving Arizona's with excellence respect integrity and kindness.

72
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:39,240
And whereas Maricopa County along with others advocates for shared parenting responsibilities.

73
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:49,240
Because parents and children benefit when both are engaged with their child at every stage regardless of parental status.

74
00:07:49,240 --> 00:08:00,240
And whereas child support awareness month values parents involvement in their child's lives and those who make regular child support payments to safeguard their children's future.

75
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Now therefore the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors proclaims the month of August 2026 as child support awareness month.

76
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Thank you.

77
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Thank you Madam Clerk, the Board will now consider item five.

78
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,240
Madam Vice Chair is their motion please.

79
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,240
Thank you Madam Chair. I move that we approve item number five.

80
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Thank you, sir. Second please.

81
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,240
It's been moved and seconded.

82
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,240
There being no discussion.

83
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,240
All those in favor will say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

84
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Are there any imposed motion passes unanimously?

85
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,240
And Madam Chair if it's okay to say aye.

86
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Mr. Gayardo please.

87
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,240
Thank you. Madam Chair.

88
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,240
One need to thank you so much for reading that out.

89
00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:10,240
We will get these approximations or resolutions once in a while to kind of spread the news and kind of continue to bring awareness around certain issues and child support is one of those issues that is just so important.

90
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,240
We have so many young people out there that just lack the basic need sometimes.

91
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,240
And I'm a strong believer in that.

92
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,240
And we all deal with our schools and so on.

93
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:28,240
I'm a strong believer that if you take on the challenges and many of these kids face off school campus.

94
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,240
You're going to see them flourish.

95
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,240
You'll see them be so successful in the school.

96
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,240
But you've got to address the issues off campus and one of those issues is child support.

97
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,240
It's the basic needs that our kids need every day from housing food, health care.

98
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,240
And it does take two parents. It does sometimes.

99
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,240
It takes both parents and not only for the support of the child.

100
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,240
But but it does help and it's important for us to continue to.

101
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:03,240
To bring that awareness out there and continue to to educate folks that it is so important.

102
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,240
Then to let it be.

103
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,240
A mother or father.

104
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,240
They all have both have that level of responsibility to cherish that child.

105
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,240
Take care of them.

106
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,240
So child support awareness.

107
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,240
It's something that I think we need to just continue to exercise and put out there.

108
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:29,240
We continue to see many of our kids face tremendous challenges off campuses and you know community.

109
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:37,240
But you can not forget just some of the basic need that many of our young people just go without everyday.

110
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:44,240
Because unfortunately they're in a situation where they're not getting the resources they need in order to be successful.

111
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:50,240
So thank you once again Madam Chair for bringing this on our agenda and having this.

112
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Put forward for a vote. So I appreciate it.

113
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:59,240
And thank you supervisor Gallardo for championing this issue you're absolutely right.

114
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,240
And so many of those respects.

115
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Let us move on to the business portion of our meeting starting with planning and zoning hearings.

116
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:20,240
First I would like to remind our wonderful audience of the rules of decorum.

117
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:28,240
It is the intent of these members of the Board of Supervisors to follow orderly procedures for conducting business.

118
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,240
And we have adopted the following rules to do so.

119
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:42,240
The chair of the Board of Supervisors has the authority to maintain order and professional standards during open meetings and may enforce the following rules.

120
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,240
And those who disregard these rules will be subject to removal.

121
00:11:47,240 --> 00:12:01,240
Attendees are asked to remain seated during an open meeting to minimize distractions to the Board or other attendees unless called upon by the chair to address the Board or if leaving the meeting room.

122
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:07,240
No person attending an open meeting shall engage in disorderly or voice risk conduct.

123
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Included but not limited to applause, whistling, stamping of food, booing or making any loud threatening, profane, abusive, personal, and pertinent or slamblers, utterance that disturbs disrupts or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the meeting.

124
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Please, we want to hear what you think.

125
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,240
Do not disparage other speakers.

126
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:41,240
Science, placards, banners and other similar items shall not be permitted in the audience during an open meeting.

127
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:47,240
And we will proceed forward to conduct the business of the county on the basis of those rules.

128
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Thank you all.

129
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:58,240
So, supervisors, we are considering the consent agenda for planning and zoning items 6 through 17.

130
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,240
Does any supervisor have an item they wish removed?

131
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,240
Okay, I'll speak up.

132
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,240
I have item number 8, carefree commercial.

133
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:18,240
It's my understanding that so my constituents have come to speak to this item.

134
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:25,240
The Board will now consider items 6 and 7 and items 10 through 17.

135
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,240
Madam Vice Chair, is there motion please?

136
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,240
No, 9 to 7.

137
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,240
Get there.

138
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Okay.

139
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,240
Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

140
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240
Thank you Madam Chair.

141
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,240
I move that we approve item 6 and 7 and 9 through 17.

142
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Thank you, is there a second?

143
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,240
Second.

144
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,240
It's been moved and seconded.

145
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,240
All those in favour will say aye.

146
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Aye, aye.

147
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,240
Those opposed.

148
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Motion passage unanimously.

149
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,240
We will now consider for the separate consideration.

150
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,240
Item number 8, carefree commercial.

151
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:15,240
With that, I would ask Mr. Gerard and Mr. Elsework to please come forward and present.

152
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,240
This item is in my district.

153
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:28,240
And we have done it was I think shortly after I got on the board.

154
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,240
And we have done a ton of work on this arena and on this area.

155
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:41,240
And I cannot thank planning and zoning and your folks for your enormous help in articulating a policy

156
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:49,240
that incorporates desert hills and the carefree corridor commercial clients.

157
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,240
So could you please speak to this briefly?

158
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,240
Yes, Madam Chair, members of the board.

159
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,240
This is case Z25009 known as carefree commercial.

160
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,320
District 3. It's approximately a 10-acre site located on the South Side of the Care Free Highway at

161
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:14,480
Central Avenue. The specific request is a rezoning from Rule 43 to C2CUPD. This is a second phase

162
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:21,760
of a project that was zoned for commercial uses a few years back, as the chair just mentioned.

163
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,840
This was originally considered by this board in October of 2025, where there was significant

164
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:36,160
concern regarding how it related to the Care Free scenic corridor and the Desert Hills area plan.

165
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,880
In that time, this was remanded back by the board for the applicant to go back,

166
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,640
work with the neighborhood. They have subsequently had additional neighborhood meetings.

167
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,560
They have revised their request and agreed to several conditions of approval that

168
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:02,320
coincide in meet the requirements of the new policy and directive that we have regarding the

169
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:09,120
scenic corridor and the area plan itself. Those include aesthetics and drainage and infrastructure

170
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,960
conditions, meeting most of the concerns that were expressed at the commission at the hearing.

171
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:21,360
This was heard again by the Planning and its own commission at the commission meeting last month,

172
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:29,920
and they recommended approval unanimously. Thank you, Mr. Elzworth. Madam Clerk.

173
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,880
Well, we have, how many speakers signed up to Madam Chair?

174
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:44,960
Well, the public participation is preparing May I ask, is it billauly to come forward on behalf of the

175
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,400
developer of this property? As part of that, would you please speak to the adjacent properties?

176
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,120
That they have also been developing? Thank you, sir.

177
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,680
Thank you. Good morning. Madam Chair and inform members, billauly to be positive representation.

178
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:06,960
The application. It is true that this particular ten acres is a phase to a five acres that's

179
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:13,200
directly east and directly adjacent to the subject property. Directly west is actually a church and this

180
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:19,360
property is Darren and Tom indicated fronts on a carefree highway and so a lot of the utilities, the water,

181
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:26,640
the sewer, the drainage, the access on to carefree highway will be shared with the phase one.

182
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,480
So a lot of the details that were asked early on have been vetted out over the last six months and so it's

183
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:39,760
really just a phase two of something that's already underway. Thank you very much. To board members have

184
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:47,120
questions for either staff or Mr. Alley. Hearing none, we'll proceed to stand by in case we need to

185
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:56,960
to public participation. Madam Clerk. Madam Chair, the two speakers that wish to speak on this item number

186
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:04,960
eight in opposition are Kim Shank and Jamie Parrish.

187
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Thank you for coming. Taking the time to come all the way down to our meeting.

188
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:34,000
Ms. Shank, before we get started, if you would stage a name for the record, we'll

189
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:41,120
have two minute participation stating your concerns. Yes, my name is Kim Shank, K-Wiamp.

190
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,760
Yes, that's okay. C-H-A-N-K and I am one of the neighbors to the south. They're actually

191
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,120
a large group of neighbors and opposition to this. You have a petition that's been signed by approximately

192
00:18:53,120 --> 00:19:00,560
100 people. We are very upset about the change from a being rural. We don't. We want to keep the scenery.

193
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:06,640
We want to keep it scenic. It is a historic corridor. We all bought our properties and over a million

194
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,320
dollar properties. The way it is without commercial. There's commercial four miles to the

195
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:18,640
east and west of us. We don't need more. We want to keep it as is just more homes. Being built along

196
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:24,160
that front edge, not commercial. These developers have it up for sale. So they really have no

197
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:30,160
skin in the game except money where we live there. It's for sale pending approval of rezoning.

198
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,680
It should not be approved for the rezoning. It should be kept as is. We also are concerned about our

199
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:42,720
property taxes. It's going to be a wash where you gain money-wise from them on this because we're

200
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:49,520
going to lose value. We're losing our views, mountains, some of the neighbors. This is directly in

201
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,960
front of them. They'll have a 30 foot building. Directly in front of them. This is not what we wanted.

202
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:01,760
I think you should listen to the community. As the kids say now, this is not the vibe. We bought into.

203
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:09,920
We bought into scenic. Carefree Highway has a song named after it. You know, you're ruining the beauty.

204
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:18,560
And for money. And we don't want that. We want to keep houses is there. We want to keep the zoning

205
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:25,200
as is. My biggest issue is we were not notified. I know you have a statute of 300 feet, but you can also

206
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,280
register as an interested party, which I did. I had no notice of the June 11th meeting. Neither is there

207
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:37,520
a lot of my neighbors and also for this meeting. I only knew because I caught sight of the sign. I was

208
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,400
out of town for June. A lot of my neighbors are out of town right now and they're asking for a

209
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,440
continuous and they that's need of voice. There are requests for a continuous to early September when they

210
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:56,160
can be here. Thank you. Thank you for your summary for my information. Did you attend the public meeting

211
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,680
that was held or not? The public meeting happened to be on the night of the Bruno Mars concert. I had

212
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,560
tickets to. Unfortunately, I did not attend that, but I did send them an email that we were in

213
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:14,240
opposition, several others of my neighbors did it on that meeting. But I was unable to that night that I

214
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:21,280
did write them a favor. Okay. I just wanted to know if you knew about it. Thank you. And there was

215
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:26,160
a comment that we didn't put an opposition after that. I didn't know you need us to redo that. I'm sure

216
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:31,280
myself and only neighbors would have done that. We have known that that was an expectation. But we

217
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:35,920
were not aware that you'd want some new opposition put in. All the opposition is still stand.

218
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:42,800
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Matter of course. Next speaker, Jamie and I'm sorry. It looks like

219
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:50,160
parish but I can't make out that. Thank you. And it misparasive you would state your name for the record.

220
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:58,000
So we'll start it right. Sure. My name is Jamie Parrish and I actually do live on one of these homes that

221
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:05,600
you can see I'm living in second. Street over five and so this would really, you know, effects

222
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,360
we are our views as well. I'm just going to read because I'm not as eloquent as Mrs. Chang here.

223
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:22,640
All right. So here are the reasons why myself, my family, my whole street, hundreds of people and neighbors

224
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:31,760
are against this passing. All right. So let's see. Carefree Highway is a considered a

225
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:40,080
historic corridor and it states that historic corridors are supposed to be preserved,

226
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:48,800
a preserved area with rural culture and environment with character. Now you plan on building a

227
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,440
storage facility and I don't think that that, you know, which fit under those guidelines.

228
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,760
We're a rural community when we purchase the home and our home was that

229
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,800
appraised that was based on having mountain views that will change that. So anytime,

230
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,160
you know, a home goes to sell. We will not have mountain views anymore and it's not just not just

231
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,080
selling the home but it's being in the home and being in your backyard and having those mountain

232
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,000
views that you thought you paid for, they'll no longer be there because we'll just be staring at

233
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:28,560
a brick building. Let's see, this could possibly add traffic. We might need a traffic light where there

234
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:36,560
isn't one as we exit onto Carefree Highway. It's going to add light pollution to it. And then as the

235
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,760
terminal stated at the beginning that there was there has been a lot of time and effort put in by

236
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:50,000
the county and but let's not, I think that's, it's something cost fallacy. Let's not confused

237
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,960
like all of the time that's been spent on rezoning this as meaning that this is the right thing to do.

238
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,680
I think we should just keep it as it is and yeah. Thank you very much.

239
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:10,080
Metal clerk design conclude speakers. Phantom chair, yes, no other speakers. Mr. Lally, would you please come

240
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:18,480
forward and address the concerns? Thank you madam chair and board members. So I think it's worth

241
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,200
given a little bit more context and probably history of the last six or eight months. When we were it got

242
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:29,440
involved, there were prior meetings that had happened where a lot of questions were asked and there

243
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:36,480
wasn't a lot of answers or specificity in the application itself. And so one of the things that we recommended

244
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:43,440
early on is to try to put the specific concerns down and then take those specific concerns,

245
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,720
come up with answers and or mitigation and then put those in the application. What you'll see today,

246
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,240
which is wildly different than the application a year ago, is there are probably 10 new stipulations

247
00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,240
and some of those stipulations have about seven or eight different sub-parts to them. And those stipulations

248
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:07,120
address things like setback. They address things like building height, lighting, setback from the corridor.

249
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:14,800
We actually included a building rendering, a site plan into the application, which is normally not required,

250
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:22,000
but since things have changed in the carefree corridor, we abided by the requirements and the intent of that

251
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000
POD requirement to make sure that the neighbors and the community knew exactly what was happening. I think

252
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:34,560
a year ago there was an intent that, hey, this is just a normal storage. So the proposal that's articulated in

253
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:44,160
the application and stepped to in the application is a luxury auto garage. So this is a for sale condo unit storage facility for folks

254
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:51,920
who have either luxury auto or high net worth folks who want to put toys in there. These will be for sale

255
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:58,080
and they will be at a higher quality than say your typical mini storage type facility that I think most people

256
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:04,640
believed this case to be what it was. We put those details in there and not only put the details in there,

257
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:12,560
but we restricted almost every other use and allowed only about four or five specific uses, one of which was the

258
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:20,240
luxury auto garage. And we did that because this is a scenic corridor, it does have the carefree overlay on it,

259
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,800
but it's also identified in the scenic corridor as a commercial node. So it is a historical relay.

260
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:33,040
It has been a commercial node for as long as I've been doing business here. So the idea that this someday

261
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,800
would turn into a commercial business, a long carefree highway, shouldn't be new news to anyone.

262
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,040
It's been in the carefree highway, a scenic corridor for many years. It's been in the new river,

263
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:49,600
desert hills, area plan for many years. But what is required is that commercial is sensitive. And so

264
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:56,000
we have limited the buildings, so we have limited the building sizes on this project to 30 feet.

265
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,800
The adjacent rule 43 could actually build a house at 40 feet. So our buildings will actually be lower

266
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:08,640
and the elevations in the application actually show probably more like 26 feet. So in terms of

267
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:14,240
view sheds, view sheds to the closest mountains are actually to the south and to the west.

268
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:20,720
There are views of the new river, desert hills, area to the north. We have enhanced the setbacks

269
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,160
between the two properties from the residential to the south and to the buildings to the north. We've

270
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:32,960
added landscaping in that so that it's a softer transition to the north. But when buildings are lower,

271
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:39,600
then what could happen next door to it. The views I do not believe will be impeded. I don't

272
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:46,880
think that the property values will be devalued because this is a commercial corridor. Carefree highway

273
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:54,880
has a lot of traffic. We are adjacent to a church to the east and existing under construction development

274
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:00,400
directly to the east and then a gas station to the east of that. And so the corridor has always

275
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:06,720
anticipated limited commercial uses as long as they're done in a sensitive way. And so what you see

276
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:12,080
today and with the application is today is a wildly different application than last year. It includes

277
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,040
a lot more conditions and a lot more restrictions to make sure that it's sensitive.

278
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,360
Happy to answer any questions. Thank you Mr. Lawley. Any questions from my fellow board members?

279
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:34,320
Thank you. I have no questions, sir. I've worked on this whole area since I took office because

280
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:45,120
it was becoming a haven for RV and boat storages, which that was not the mix that is demanded

281
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:53,920
along a scenic corridor, which is kind of paradoxically a commercial known. So you have to figure out

282
00:28:53,920 --> 00:29:02,240
what commercial development looks like on a very, very busy highway, which would not be receptive to

283
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:16,320
building a house. I remanded this back when it came to us first with it had a nine zero as I recall

284
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:24,960
commission vote against. I worked with my two D3 commissioners to better understand. It has now

285
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:33,840
come forward with a unanimous recommendation for approval from the commission and a lot of time

286
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:41,120
for the community to re-engage. I very much appreciate the process. The last thing I say is it's

287
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:50,960
part of an existing series of commercial developments that have been very well done by the owner

288
00:29:50,960 --> 00:30:03,120
of this property going forward and I think it is a highly appropriate use. I thank you.

289
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Distituants very much for coming forward, but I would, in this point, choose to move forward with it. Thank you.

290
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Madam Vice Chair, is there a motion please on agenda item eight?

291
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. I move that we approve item number eight.

292
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
It's been moved in seconded. Hearing no further discussion, all those in favor will say aye.

293
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously.

294
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Thank you. Moving on to planning and zoning hearings.

295
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Regular agenda item 18 true leave, dispensary, happy valley.

296
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Are there any speaker forms? Madam Clerk for item 18.

297
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
I think Mr. Vice Chair, this is in your district.

298
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Madam Chair, yes, I do have one speaker that wishes to speak in favor.

299
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Desdain Klein. Okay. So anybody else? So what we'll do is introduce the item.

300
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:12,000
I'm going to turn it over to Vice Chair, since this is in your district.

301
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Madam Chair, would you like to hear from the applicant first or the speakers first?

302
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,000
What was your preference? I know what you pick. Okay, thank you.

303
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Madam Chair, I would like to hear from the staff first, given explanation of the item and then the applicant and then the speaker.

304
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Mr. Houseworth, you're up to back. Thank you.

305
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Mr. Chair, Vice Chair, let's go. This item is case Z260015.

306
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Notice the true leave dispensary, happy valley. It's in district four.

307
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Specifically, what this request is is for a modification to the conditions of approval of the existing C2CUPD zoning.

308
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:00,000
At the time of, at the time of the rezone in 2023, there were conditions of approval that

309
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:10,000
the allowed uses to those allowed in the C1 zoning district and allowed specific conditions from the C2 zoning district.

310
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,000
It also allowed certain modifications or design standard modifications to the zoning ordinance itself related to CPX.

311
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:26,000
What this request is is specifically to allow one additional land use that would be allowed in the C2 zoning district for marijuana facilities.

312
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,000
The sole request here is that all the conditions of approval would be the same.

313
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,000
That went forward for the original zoning case with the addition of the medical marijuana case.

314
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
When this was heard by the Planning Commission, there was significant discussion.

315
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:50,000
There was a letter that was received in a personal capacity from the mayor of Pioria, as well as the mayor of Portem from Pioria,

316
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,000
both with concerns regarding the visibility and intensity of the use or the type of the use.

317
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:04,000
They are recommending opposition to that. Also, the discussion at the Commission,

318
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Commission heard this on June 11th and June 11th and June 11th hearing.

319
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:18,000
The discussion at the hearing talked about the visibility along 115th Avenue about the type of use.

320
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Commissioner Layton stated that she was not opposed to the Spencer he's generally, but then failed at this was an appropriate location for this use.

321
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Commissioner Toma also stated that he lives in the area and regularly travels through the intersection.

322
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
This is a poor location for the use.

323
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:41,000
The recommendation from the Commission was for denial with a vote of 42.

324
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Without taking any questions, you might have.

325
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Do members have questions of the staff.

326
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Okay? Then I'd like to hear from the applicant you have five minutes.

327
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Here's a question. Thank you so much for having us today.

328
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,000
My name is Andrew Bauer. I work with Truid. Toma Solos on my right here.

329
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:13,000
We're here to present the case today regarding the the spent relocation and happy all year 115th.

330
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
True we've itself just to say if I know we have short time.

331
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
We are the largest cannabis retailer in Arizona.

332
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,000
We have 22 stores spread from bisby all the way north to cottonwood.

333
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000
So kind of spread out.

334
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:31,000
It's been in the cannabis space in Arizona since the beginning.

335
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:39,000
With this case, as staff mentioned, located at the southwest corner of Happy Valley and 115th Parkway.

336
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000
The base zoning of it being c2 is really what attracted us to this location in the first place.

337
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,000
When we identified it, there were no setback issues.

338
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,000
It's to the west of it is the freeway to the north as a flood zone.

339
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,000
To the east is a QT gas station and to the south as a storage unit structure.

340
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000
So we thought this was really, you know, zoned appropriately with no setback issues.

341
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Just as touch quickly, we part of our, you know, process is we like to hire locally.

342
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,000
We have found that our stores operate the best when we have people that represent the area.

343
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,000
They know their neighbors.

344
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
They know their, you know, friends down the street.

345
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
They come kind of support their friends.

346
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
So we very important to us that we hire local.

347
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:34,000
We, this, we'll bring 25 to 30 full-time employment jobs ranging from your patient care specialist all the way up to the GM level.

348
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
A cool thing about cannabis is there's a lot of opportunity for growth in it.

349
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
So those people that start as the, you know, kind of the entry level.

350
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,000
They're not fighting my mom worked in retail at Merbens for 25 years.

351
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
You weren't getting the manager spot ahead at Nancy.

352
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
But this industry is still new enough that if you have to go stole that.

353
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
So there's just outward mobility and just really want to point that out.

354
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I'll let Tom speak to some of the lab testing and other requirements of the follow up.

355
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Thank you.

356
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:10,000
All the product that's sold at this, this dispensary is tested by the, by testing facility.

357
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,000
And those results are verified by the state health department.

358
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,000
The count is authority to regulate the location is real and you're expected fully.

359
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:26,000
But it's bound by the ordinance's own standards, planning and zoning staff applied those exact same standards here.

360
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,000
The question is come up to wasn't in the letter or anything but with youth access.

361
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Before anyone can touch a product, everything is verified through a multi-phase ID.

362
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
The packaging is child resistant, it's not only a company policy, it's also a state law.

363
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:49,000
And there's zero marketing directed or to appeal to anyone under 21.

364
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,000
That's something that we do audit and that's something that the state also does verify.

365
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Something else that wasn't brought up that concerns people like me to is the odor.

366
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Nothing at this facility should smell everything sold is distributed and packaged.

367
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:14,000
So you're not going to drive by and get that odor that I know other areas of the value you have those complaints.

368
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
There's zero onsite consumption.

369
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
That's not allowed under state law.

370
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:30,000
And there'll just be no cultivation or processing facilities here is strictly a retail site that will have pre-packaged materials.

371
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Also physical security, the premises will be monitored 24.7.

372
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:44,000
There's secure doors or panic buttons throughout and there's direct coordination with law enforcement and something that I'm not sure if you're aware of.

373
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:51,000
But with the exercise tax, about 31.4% of that exercise tax does go back to public safety.

374
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:58,000
So it does go back to that law enforcement.

375
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,000
So one thing that we also want to speak on is there was some community outreach undertaken to this process.

376
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Right before the planning zoning commission, we did receive the letter from the mayor and the mayor of Rotem and a few of the neighbors.

377
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,000
That's really what we want to speak on with the odor and everything like that.

378
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:22,000
But since that planning meeting, we wanted to show that there is support for marijuana and a mayor to want to spend free out this location.

379
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000
We went and spoke to residents of the area.

380
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,000
We secured 200 support letters that we submitted to planning this last week.

381
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Again, just to show people, yes, there are people against marijuana.

382
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
But there's still a large majority of the support it.

383
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000
One prop 206 passed originally in 2020.

384
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,000
It passed 6040 in Arizona and even a higher number within district five at the time.

385
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,000
There's been some shift in those lines.

386
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:57,000
But that general area had a good strong support for it.

387
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
I do one more.

388
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
I'll be back.

389
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Give a few seconds.

390
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
All right, cool.

391
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,000
I just wanted to address one other part of the development issue side of it just to provide a case study.

392
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Truly dispensary in America, the city opened in 2026.

393
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Previously before it, it was a dirt lot.

394
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Now it has the dispensary across the street is a low shopping complex.

395
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,000
And on the adjacent side is a multi-family apartment.

396
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,000
So there wasn't a, the dispensary did not stop development.

397
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Thank you, sir.

398
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And now, man, Claire, you said, how many speakers do we have?

399
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Madam Chair, Vice Chair, one speaker in favor.

400
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Thank you.

401
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:48,000
If you could call the speaker forward and I'm going to give the speaker the same time five minutes.

402
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
And I said, Dustin Klein, but it could be Dustin.

403
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Dustin, I'll be sorry about that.

404
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Thank you and do please stay tuned for the record.

405
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Hi, I'm Dustin Klein and thanks for listening to me and having me.

406
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
I'd like to start by saying I'm a small business owner.

407
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
I've grown up and lived on the west side and I'm an Arizona native.

408
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000
I've lived right here in this area of the proposed location.

409
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Pretty much for my whole life.

410
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
I drive down and pass that intersection every day.

411
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:25,000
I take my daughter for school and my wife takes that street to weave through to get to our small business and surprise.

412
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
So I have a real intimate understanding of this location.

413
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
And it's very industrial and rural.

414
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:39,000
It's a perfect place for a dispensary because of its distance from local residents and the kind of commute,

415
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:44,000
the common buildings that are around there, including the large storage unit behind it.

416
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:50,000
I see no reason to limit business growth in our neighborhood in our area,

417
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
especially in also a real estate agent.

418
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000
And so I feel the more business, the more jobs, the more opportunity for the city in general.

419
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
And so I'm definitely for the proposed zoning act.

420
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
That's keep it short, that's all I have.

421
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Thank you.

422
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Thank you.

423
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Do any members have questions of the staff?

424
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Madam Chair.

425
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Yes.

426
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Mr. Stewart.

427
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Thank you.

428
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Yeah.

429
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,000
We've dealt with a couple of what is on Council and Shame on what a couple of dispensaries.

430
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:28,000
And I think the biggest question I've got is how many parking spots are there in this particular location.

431
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I understand the Fridays and after work are pretty busy times.

432
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Are there any concerns about parking and transportation?

433
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,000
I'll try to take a picture.

434
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,000
But the building people leave safely, et cetera.

435
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Mr. Houseward.

436
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Madam Chair.

437
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Supervisor Stewart.

438
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,000
At this time, this is a zoning request only.

439
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:59,000
The plan of development would be required to come forward in the future, at which time they would meet the be required to meet the requirements from the zoning ordinance.

440
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Okay.

441
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
And one follow-up question.

442
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Madam Chair.

443
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Is there any stipulation in the zoning?

444
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,000
And I guess maybe this would come in a PAD or that smell situation.

445
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:18,000
So if they are found to be not compliant with the order, what would be the request for the board or for them to correct that?

446
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000
So Madam Chair.

447
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Supervisor Stewart.

448
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
The recommendation that came forward from the planning and zoning commission was 40 NIL without any conditions of approval.

449
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
However in the staff report, there were suggested conditions of approval.

450
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
But forward by staff in the case that there was a motion for approval.

451
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,000
At this time, there is no condition regarding order.

452
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Thank you.

453
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Madam Chair.

454
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Madam Chair.

455
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:50,000
I would like to talk a little bit about this case since it is in my supervisor district.

456
00:42:50,000 --> 00:43:01,000
And I have received feedback from constituents in my office and from the Pioria mayor and the Pioria mayor program.

457
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:13,000
And when this property was resowned in 2023, the board approved a specific set of development standards and a specific list of permitted uses at that time.

458
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
Those conditions weren't accidental.

459
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:22,000
They reflected the proposal that was before the board at that time in 2023.

460
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Today we are being asked to change those conditions.

461
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:37,000
I believe that the surrounding property owners and the community should be able to rely on the conditions that the board of supervisors approved in 2023.

462
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:45,000
If we're going to revisit those conditions as we are today, there should be a compelling planning reason to do so.

463
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:51,000
I also placed significant weight on the recommendation of our own planning and zoning commission.

464
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
They heard the testimony and reviewed the record.

465
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And they voted to recommend we deny the requested modification.

466
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Importantly, two of those planning and zoning commissioners live in the district.

467
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
They're district four.

468
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:15,000
And one of them I think lives in a very close area of it, Mr. Toma.

469
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,000
And they were opposed to this modification.

470
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:27,000
I did hear, again, from the mayor of Peoria and the mayor of Protam, they had some concerns.

471
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:36,000
And I want to reach the board what they said, not the whole thing, but I'm just going to read a couple of the sentences.

472
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:41,000
This was sent to me on June 10th of 2026.

473
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
It was an email.

474
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Chair and members of the commission.

475
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:53,000
We write to you in personal capacities as local officials to share concerns received from residents.

476
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:59,000
The subject parcel is a county island located within the city of Peoria's municipality.

477
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,000
As such, the long term development trajectory of this corridor is a matter of direct interest to the surrounding

478
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:15,000
peoria community. Today, a majority of the constituent feedback received on this matter has been in opposition

479
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:23,000
to the proposed use. Specifically, there are existing concerns about the future cohesive development of this area.

480
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:32,000
The happy valley parkway in adjacent corridors are in the early stages of commercial development. Peoria's general plan

481
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:38,000
designates the area for suburban residential and park open space uses.

482
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:50,000
And so, badmcare, I don't know if any of the other members have questions, but I plan to make a motion to deny the modification.

483
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Members, do you have any questions? Mr. Sewer?

484
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
No, Madam Chair, thank you.

485
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Okay. I'm not saying any questions here. Any on the DAIS, Madam Vice Chair?

486
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Yes.

487
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:14,000
Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that we deny item number 18 and accordance with the commissions recommendation.

488
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,000
This vote will not remove the site's existing commercial zoning.

489
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Yes, vote will deny item 18.

490
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,000
So it's one of those where you vote yes to say no.

491
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Thank you for explaining. Is there a second?

492
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Second.

493
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Okay. Hearing no further discussion, we will proceed to a vote.

494
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:39,000
All those in favor of denial will say aye.

495
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Aye. Aye. Aye.

496
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Those opposed to denial will say nay.

497
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
I think yes.

498
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Okay. Motion passes unanimously.

499
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,000
The zoning modification is denied.

500
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Moving right along. Item number 19, 67th Avenue, Reson, Madam Clerk, are there speaker forms?

501
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Madam Chair, yes. I do have three speaker forms on item number 19.

502
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Okay.

503
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Two seconds. I'm sorry. I lost my page.

504
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Supervisor Gallardo. This is in your district.

505
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Would you like to proceed with a staff presentation?

506
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Yes.

507
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
I've already spoken to the applicant.

508
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
We just kind of, I have to spoke to the staff as well.

509
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,000
We'll go ahead.

510
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Mr. Altsworth, the brief presentation.

511
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Madam Chair, members of the board. This is KC 26001767.

512
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,000
67th Avenue, Reson and District 5.

513
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:52,000
The site is located on the corner of 67th Avenue, it's southern.

514
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Oh, to the north. To the north of southern.

515
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
You just confused me?

516
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
You've got whatever I have. Thank you.

517
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,000
So, it is located off 67th Avenue to the north of southern.

518
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,000
It is located as a vacant parcel.

519
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,000
It's located entirely in floodplain and floodway.

520
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,000
It is on the south side of the Salt River River Bed.

521
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,000
It is located adjacent to a rock mining.

522
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Our Santa gravel operation to the eastern industrial uses to the south.

523
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,000
The request today is specifically for IND-3 IUPD zoning.

524
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,000
With a limitation on all land uses other than for a billboard.

525
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:46,000
So, what the request really is is for a rezoning to allow a billboard on a site that is ultimately undevitable for any other years.

526
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Without taking any questions.

527
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,000
About the recommendation from the Planning Zone Commission was for approval.

528
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Questions Mr. Guerrero?

529
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Would members?

530
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
I would have been there with speakers.

531
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
We could proceed with public participation.

532
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Madam Clerk. Madam Chair.

533
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:17,000
The first speaker is marked to speak only if necessary in favor of William Costlow.

534
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Mr. Castlow?

535
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Let's talk about the second speaker.

536
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Okay. Next speaker. I believe she is an opposition.

537
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Lisa Pettis.

538
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,000
And also Neil Hadad.

539
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
An opposition.

540
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Please come forward.

541
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Madam Chair. Members of the board.

542
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Thank you for the opportunity for speaking.

543
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,000
My name is Lisa Perez.

544
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000
And I live a less than a mile away from this property.

545
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000
But I do live in City of Phoenix.

546
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Where I live in this unique area where we are peppered with a lot of America but county land.

547
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Next to City of Phoenix. We have some development center differences.

548
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
We also have A dot as putting in SR30 right by this area.

549
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Just above the riverbed just north of this property.

550
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Where A dot is putting in the first phase of the SR30.

551
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:12,000
The reason that I am in opposition of this is because I serve.

552
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,000
I spent many times in hours.

553
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,000
When you guys were doing the text amendment for your zoning ordinance when it came to billboard.

554
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
I spent a lot of time in this gullali.

555
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
On that text amendment.

556
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,000
And it was tough. There was some things in there that I didn't appreciate but understood it.

557
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:32,000
So this case sort of surprises me because the D.D. is from your own standards and your own text amendment.

558
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,000
And that is concerning because I feel like it is a precedent sending case.

559
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
That if you allow it to have D.D.D.A.ations.

560
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,000
I don't meet the standards of your own ordinance that this is going to open the black gates.

561
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,000
And it is true. I'm not a fan of billboards period.

562
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:50,000
But I do believe in this area particularly for those of you that know we have the re-imagined project.

563
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:58,000
That was a legacy of Mr. Lates Senator John McCain about restoring the Salt River to its beauty in all of its glory.

564
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:04,000
And trying to stay with the standards at the city of Phoenix has put in place along with good year in Buckeye and Abundale.

565
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:11,000
And other jurisdictions to make sure that that can come to fruition is important to me because we are not looking at our place and we are living right now.

566
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
What is it going to look like in the future?

567
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:17,000
I appreciate it. I apologize for sending the letters to Lates yesterday afternoon.

568
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
We had a lot of people out of town and we needed to get approval.

569
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,000
But you should have always seen the letter from the near per coalition of greater Phoenix.

570
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,000
And then I know you were misty also of the city of Phoenix's concerns also.

571
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
I appreciate the consideration.

572
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Thank you very much.

573
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Thank you. Any questions?

574
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Mr. Hadad.

575
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Welcome sir.

576
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Madam Chair and Madam Vice Chair and members thank you for the opportunity.

577
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:51,000
To speak today. My name is Neil Hadad and I'm with the neighborhood coalition of greater Phoenix and representing that group today.

578
00:51:51,000 --> 00:52:00,000
So as you know, we submitted a formal written objection to this board regarding zoning case Z20707.

579
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:08,000
I'm here to respectfully but firmly ask you to overturn the Planning Commission's June 11th consent agenda.

580
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Approval and deny this application.

581
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Here's what is actually being requested.

582
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
A private landowner wants to resume a 2.79-acre parcel.

583
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Over 95% of which lies inside a female designated floodway along this all river.

584
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:32,000
From rural to heavy industrial for the sole purpose of erecting a single commercial billboard to accomplish this.

585
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:37,000
They require not one but two major deviations for.

586
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:43,000
For the issue.

587
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:48,000
So it's a 55% cut in required billboard separation.

588
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,000
A 50% cut in residential setback.

589
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,000
This is not a minor technical adjustment.

590
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:02,000
It is a systemic having of the two protective standards, the county established for good reason.

591
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:09,000
The applicants justifications hardship under Arizona law that claim falls on its face.

592
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,000
The floodway constraints on this land are a pre-existing federal reality.

593
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000
That's something Maricopa County imposed.

594
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Purchasing constrained land and seeking to monetize it through zoning relief is the legal definition of self-created hardship.

595
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Arizona law does not recognize that as a grounds for deviation.

596
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
I just want to point out one other thing.

597
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:37,000
And that is the board should also be aware of something that entered the record five days ago.

598
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,000
And that was the city of Phoenix Planning and Development Department.

599
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,000
The professional planning staff responsible for adjacent planning area.

600
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:55,000
The proposed, as they said, the proposed IMD-3UPD zoning is inconsistent with the city of Phoenix General Plan.

601
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Phoenix Professional Planning staff recommend denial.

602
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Thank you, Mr. Devin.

603
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,000
There's more.

604
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
But thank you so much for listening.

605
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,000
Please deny this application.

606
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Thank you, Mr. Gallardo.

607
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:15,000
I understand that the applicant and owner, they representatives are here.

608
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Is that correct?

609
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Yes.

610
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,000
They are here.

611
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
I've had discussions with Paul.

612
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
And in regards to this, men and chair.

613
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000
If it's okay, I'm ready to make a motion.

614
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:31,000
I appreciate the public's comments.

615
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:35,000
And we doly noted on how we move forward.

616
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:43,000
But this is a project that the entire PMZ commission supports staff supports.

617
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
I'm very familiar with this area.

618
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:57,000
And I understand what we have in front of us.

619
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:07,000
So, Madam Chair, I'm ready to make a motion that we approve item 19 on our planning and zoning agenda.

620
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Second.

621
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
I guess that was a motion.

622
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Now it's a second.

623
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Hearing no further discussion, we will proceed to a vote.

624
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:22,000
I think I vote means I this time.

625
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Yeah, this is easy.

626
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Thank you.

627
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
All those in favor will say aye.

628
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Aye.

629
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Those are the most nay.

630
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
The motion is approved in the item advances.

631
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Now we go to statutory hearings for clicker the board.

632
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Related to liquor license applications.

633
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Bingo license application.

634
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
And at the annexation.

635
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,000
From the city of Avondale to Maricopa County.

636
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:58,000
And also, transportation has a road file in there.

637
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:04,000
Madam clerk, are there any speaker forms received for items 20 through 23A?

638
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Madam Chair, I do have two speaker forms.

639
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Both are from Blue Crawley.

640
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:14,000
He wishes to speak on item 22 and 23.

641
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Thank you, Mr. Crawley, would you please come forward?

642
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,000
So, that's, he wants to speak on both items.

643
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:30,000
If we limit participation to two minutes, he can do two minutes on one and two minutes on the other.

644
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Yes, if that is what you.

645
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,000
Does that work?

646
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Yes.

647
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
All right.

648
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Thank you, Mr. Crawley.

649
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
For both of us.

650
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Well, I've been up here a couple of times.

651
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
And I always ask when it's a DNA annexation.

652
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,000
And you guys are taking it over.

653
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Where are you doing the totalities of it?

654
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,000
And I see in this one, you're getting half the street.

655
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:05,000
But when I've asked before, where is the curb cut?

656
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:10,000
And the bus stop, just a thought, major intersection.

657
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000
And are you responsible to take and do those things?

658
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Or would it be the city of Abondale?

659
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:22,000
There is it right now, neither one of you getting a job done.

660
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,000
As I've requested.

661
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:31,000
And I'd like a little more assistance from Mr. Gallardo's staff and that.

662
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:41,000
I want to know where all the money that you got last year or our PTA.

663
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Mag, what did you do with it?

664
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Where did it get spent?

665
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,000
It's just a part of it.

666
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:53,000
And are those money's a part of what would be covering the curb cuts?

667
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
And the bus stops?

668
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Hard.

669
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:03,000
You know, the whole area, the whole region, is supposed to be getting addressed.

670
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
That's why I have suggested that you put together the community to come back in and say,

671
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Here's where we want all of our buses to go.

672
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And life, rail, good luck and go on.

673
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Because over the last 25 years with what you did was you cut a third of the bus part.

674
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,000
And did how much for the rail?

675
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Well, that's not what we need to get done.

676
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
And is that the only place that they're had?

677
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Does that happen in Abondale?

678
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Or is it the whole area?

679
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
I'm waiting for it to click into the next one.

680
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Because it's in the whole area.

681
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Now we go to 23 and it's Hamilton and Chandler and they're doing this and doing that.

682
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:59,000
And the street is going to be wider and point of beginning in a point of terminus as well.

683
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Mr. Stewart, does that thing have anything to do with the transportation system known as the bus?

684
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,000
And if it doesn't, why not?

685
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:20,000
You know, I've tried over and over again too.

686
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Okay, you've got a roadway that you're grading and transferring ownership and power to where are the bus facilities?

687
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Who pays for that?

688
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,000
Well, who hasn't paid for that?

689
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
And can you get the job done right?

690
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:42,000
I'll give you a minute back of your lives.

691
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Thank you, Mr. Crowley.

692
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Mr. Gutierrez, I think both these items fall under your jurisdiction.

693
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Can you address those questions, sir?

694
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Oh, and Mr. Smith.

695
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Welcome.

696
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Good morning, Madam Chair. Members of the Board.

697
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:11,000
I'm Chair of the Microphone Time. Good morning, Madam Chair. Members of the Board. Just in a previous county engineer and director of transportation.

698
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Item number 22, and next to me is Mr. Alex Smith, Director of Real Estate.

699
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Item number 22 is a simple deannexation. It's really a proactive approach from the Department of Transportation in conjunction with a great partners at Real Estate.

700
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:48,000
This is a roadway that we own and operate Miami from Avendale to 117th Avenue. There is a small portion on the south side of the road that has been annexed by Avendale.

701
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:58,000
For us to own and operate the roadway properly. Now, and in the future, we're anticipating development. So that's where the proactive approach comes in.

702
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Is that we are looking that when we go to possibly expand and make future safety improvements to that intersection, we're going to need this right away to be in the county.

703
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:40,000
We're talking about seven feet along the south side for one parcel. It's not a whole house street. There are no bus services. There's no bus routes in the area. No curb cuts. Nothing to that effect. It's a small seven foot strip that we're asking Avendale to deannex to us so that we can have the full roadway within our purview and have the authority to make enhancements and improvements in the future. Very, very straightforward.

704
01:01:40,000 --> 01:02:03,000
Thank you. Do you want to speak to 23A? Please chair. Please. This item is open and declare for some roads in Chandler and the county is going to enter into an IGA with Chandler for right away assistance. Chandler is expanding their roadways, their roadway network, excuse me.

705
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:13,000
And this particular area is outside of their municipal boundaries and the county typically assist municipalities to acquire the right away that are outside of their boundaries. Thank you.

706
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:14,000
Thank you.

707
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Yes, Madam Chair Frecadad. This is again another example of a good good partnership with the county and the city of Chandler. Essentially we're going to help the city of Chandler take these roadways into the system.

708
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:38,000
There's been development there where they have developed half the road. The developers have come in and made their house street improvements. Now that leaves us with scallops streets.

709
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:48,000
We see scallop roadways partially develop one site completed the other sites not. This will in essence allow the city of Chandler to with our help.

710
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Fund the improvements create the improvements when the full roadway is completed then they will annex into their system and maintain it in perpetuity.

711
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:07,000
So I think it's a great opportunity to provide the taxpayers in the traveling public with safety improvements widen roadways and those needed improvements in that area.

712
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:16,000
And it's a great partnership and it's a really a successful endeavor. Once we get done to provide the traffic.

713
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
That mobility and circulation in the area.

714
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Thank you, Mr. Gutierrez. Questions? Vice chair.

715
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Crowley is very passionate about buses bus stops.

716
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:40,000
And so he brought up a good question that I want to know. Like in that case, not the Chandler one because the Chandler is going to take it over, right?

717
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:49,000
But the other one where the county is taking over the road. Let's say in the future there's a bunch of people living there and they add a bus route.

718
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Who decides to put in a bus stop? Is it us? Is it the city? Who how does that work?

719
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Madam Chair and Vice Chair. The adjacent municipality is typically the one who determines if they have the bus routes.

720
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Generally speaking throughout the valley, it's Valley Metro in city Phoenix.

721
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,000
But essentially they determine the routes and where the routes go.

722
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:27,000
In conjunction with the municipality, the agency.

723
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:36,000
Big dot in the county would partner with them if we make improvements to the roadway where we build a bus pull out or bus shelters which we have done in the past.

724
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:46,000
But it's really up to the municipality and or Valley Metro to determine the route, the location and the stops themselves.

725
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,000
Thank you. Are there any other questions from board members?

726
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Hearing none.

727
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:02,000
I don't think that was a question. The board will now consider item 24.

728
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:08,000
I think I'm on the wrong page. The board will now consider.

729
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:14,000
I'm getting there. I'm trying to figure out what that noise is.

730
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Smoke alarm is what it sounds like to me. But board will now consider items twenty twenty one twenty two and twenty three a Madam Vice Chair.

731
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Thank you Madam Chair. I move that we approve items twenty through twenty three a.

732
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Thank you. Is there second? It's been moved and seconded. Hearing no further discussion. We will proceed to a vote.

733
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:45,000
I'm involved in the bill. All those in favour. We'll say aye aye aye.

734
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:52,000
All those aye. Motion passes unanimously. We now moved to the consent agenda items twenty four through ninety nine.

735
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Reminder that ninety one has been pulled and continued.

736
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Make the bill.

737
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,000
The budget .

738
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:08,500
Here, a vote to continue that item is not required, however, for the record we could

739
01:06:08,500 --> 01:06:10,000
take a vote to continue it.

740
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Do you have it?

741
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,000
I want to get crossways with the clerk.

742
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Let's consider item 91 separately.

743
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Do board members have any other items besides 91, which is a continuance.

744
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,000
They wish to have a vote.

745
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Madam Chair.

746
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,000
Mr. Stewart.

747
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:34,000
I'd like to add a little bit of background on item 27.

748
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,000
I'd like a very, very presentation on number 80.

749
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,000
And then I'd like to make a comment about item number 27.

750
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
I'm sorry, number 28 if I have.

751
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,000
I can't please.

752
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Thank you.

753
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Question 82 now.

754
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Mr. Stewart.

755
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Is your request to pull items 27, 28 and 80 for separate consideration?

756
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,000
No.

757
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,000
My.

758
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,000
What I want to know is a little bit of background on how reappointments to the G-Tech

759
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,000
of our handle and how that process works.

760
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,000
You might be able to share that for me to secure the desk that decides that.

761
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000
And then I'd like to make a comment about 28.

762
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,000
I'd like to make a comment about 28.

763
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,000
I'd like to make a comment about 28.

764
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:20,000
I'd like to make a comment about 28.

765
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,000
And then on number 80, I'd like some background on that.

766
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,000
I'd like to make a presentation.

767
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,000
But I don't necessarily need a poll.

768
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,000
Madam Chair, can someone please tell us what that noise is?

769
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,000
We're working on it.

770
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:32,000
That's me.

771
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:33,000
So.

772
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,000
My.

773
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Carbon monoxide detectors going off.

774
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,000
So.

775
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,000
My apologies.

776
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,000
The problem solves.

777
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Okay.

778
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Yes.

779
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Get some air.

780
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,000
We don't want you to get past out.

781
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,000
I think I'll be fine.

782
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
We'll get doors open.

783
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,000
Mr. Stewart does that constitute an emergency for you?

784
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,000
It does not.

785
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Thank you.

786
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Okay.

787
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Well.

788
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,000
And it's number 82.

789
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Not 80.

790
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,000
The numbers that I've got are different.

791
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,000
So.

792
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,000
Item number 82.

793
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,000
You want to have some discussion about 27.

794
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,000
28.

795
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,000
And 82.

796
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,000
And the way we go about doing that sir.

797
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,000
28.

798
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:18,000
You said you wanted to comment after the vote.

799
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,000
So we will.

800
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Yes.

801
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:21,000
27.

802
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,000
And 82.

803
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,000
For separate discussion.

804
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Questions and information.

805
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Excuse me.

806
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,000
Excuse me.

807
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Let's share.

808
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,000
I hope you figured out the numbers.

809
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,000
She's getting there.

810
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Okay.

811
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Madam chair.

812
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:43,000
I move that we approve items 24 through 81.

813
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,000
83 through 90.

814
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:50,000
And 92 through 99.

815
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:54,000
I think we need to pull 27.

816
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Oh.

817
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,000
I messed up.

818
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,000
Is that correct?

819
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,000
28.

820
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,000
28.

821
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Oh, you need to pull 28.

822
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,000
So let's try again to get the sequence.

823
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,000
All right.

824
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,000
Let's try again.

825
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:11,000
So we need 24 through 27.

826
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:17,000
And we need 29 through 81.

827
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,000
And we need 83 through 90.

828
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,000
And then 92 through 99.

829
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,000
I move that we approve those.

830
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,000
And to go back.

831
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,000
What was item 27 that you wish to do something with Mr. Stewart?

832
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,000
That's the Chief Equipment.

833
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Madam chair.

834
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,000
Greater Phoenix.

835
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,000
You can on a council.

836
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,000
Then we need to revise it.

837
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:50,000
And 28 is what you wish to comment on afterwards.

838
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,000
That's correct now.

839
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Well, thank you.

840
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,000
So can you withdraw your motion and try again?

841
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,000
I actually think I did it right.

842
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,000
The first time I think.

843
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,000
I think I did it right.

844
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,000
I moved that we approve.

845
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,000
Addams 24 through 27.

846
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
29 through 81.

847
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000
83 through 90.

848
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,000
And 92 through 99.

849
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Because Madam chair.

850
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,000
That leaves out 28.

851
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,000
And it leaves out 82.

852
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,000
And it leaves out 91.

853
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:32,000
Yes.

854
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,000
But I think 28.

855
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,000
He's going to comment on after we can take the vote and he can comment.

856
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,000
But.

857
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,000
That's correct.

858
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,000
The motion.

859
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,000
The motion.

860
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,000
But you can do 7 is not pulled and there will be no discussion.

861
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,000
Morning to rules of consent.

862
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,000
And we're not going to discuss number 27.

863
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Not unless you don't like that.

864
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,000
I'd like to ask that to be pulled in.

865
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Okay.

866
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,000
I think it's 24 through 20.

867
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Who said madam chair.

868
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Madam chair.

869
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,000
I'm prepared to clarify.

870
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,000
Because Mister supervisor Stewart had mentioned there were.

871
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,000
He had different numbers.

872
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,000
I just want to clarify for the record number 27 is a point.

873
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
To the self assured that if it's trust fund number eight is the reappointments to

874
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,000
G back.

875
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Okay.

876
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Okay.

877
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,000
So you had it right.

878
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Yes.

879
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Yes.

880
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Okay.

881
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Okay.

882
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,000
So there is a motion on the floor.

883
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,000
And I will not state it again.

884
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,000
But hopefully you got it.

885
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Okay.

886
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,000
Got it.

887
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Second.

888
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,000
It's been moved.

889
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Second.

890
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,000
We will proceed to vote.

891
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,000
All those in favor will say aye.

892
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,000
Aye.

893
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Aye.

894
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Those opposed.

895
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Nay.

896
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Motion passes unanimously.

897
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,000
Mister.

898
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,000
Stewart.

899
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,000
You wanted to comment on.

900
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,000
28.

901
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Yes, madam.

902
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,000
Can you give me some background on how those selections are made.

903
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,000
And I've noticed in the past that it tends to be a.

904
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:10,000
And many things that we do that are revolving sort of process where.

905
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Excuse me.

906
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,000
One supervisor.

907
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,000
I am so sorry.

908
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,000
Didn't we just approve.

909
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,000
28.

910
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:20,000
No.

911
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,000
No.

912
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,000
God.

913
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:23,000
24.

914
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,000
27.

915
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,000
24.

916
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,000
27.

917
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,000
31.

918
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,000
21.

919
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,000
27.

920
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Say that real fast eight night.

921
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,000
No.

922
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
So we need.

923
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,000
There was an item on consent that you wish to comment and thank your.

924
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,000
appointee.

925
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Why don't we try to.

926
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,000
Right.

927
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,000
And please name.

928
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,000
If we can number the item that would be very helpful.

929
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Please.

930
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Be speaking to me.

931
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,000
Madam chair.

932
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Yes, sir.

933
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,000
My apologies.

934
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:53,000
All right.

935
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:54,000
I'm number 28.

936
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,000
I want to see.

937
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Thank.

938
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Chris.

939
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,000
You right.

940
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Thank you.

941
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Thank you.

942
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:10,000
Mr. Stewart.

943
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,000
We will proceed then to item 28.

944
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:17,000
And you wanted to comment on the process related to T.

945
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Peck appointments.

946
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Madam.

947
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Thank you.

948
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Madam chair.

949
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Was there a specific question related.

950
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,000
To the GPEC process for appointees.

951
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,000
Yes, ma'am.

952
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,000
Can you tell me how the process.

953
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,000
For a appointment.

954
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Yes.

955
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Thank you.

956
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Madam chair.

957
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Supervisor Stewart.

958
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,000
The greater Phoenix economic council.

959
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Has bylaws.

960
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Which outlined the amount of appointees that each agency.

961
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Would receive to the GPEC board.

962
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,000
And then those appointees like the appointees.

963
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:01,000
Any other boards and commissions are determined through the chair's office.

964
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000
So the chair makes the discussion.

965
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
I've noticed in the past.

966
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,000
That there's not much turnover in this particular role.

967
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:12,000
So we have we don't have the opportunity for new ideas new energy.

968
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Those kind of things serving on this board.

969
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Maybe the chair can provide some background on why we're continuing.

970
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,000
To keep the same people on the board.

971
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Versus turnover.

972
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,000
I think that was a question for me, Mr. Stewart.

973
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:27,000
It is.

974
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:28,000
Yes, ma'am.

975
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,000
It is at the discretion of the chair.

976
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,000
So you just decided.

977
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,000
Because I don't remember us talking about that.

978
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:34,000
But thank you.

979
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,000
For helping me understand that.

980
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:37,000
Is there any.

981
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,000
Oh, but it's comfortable.

982
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Thank you.

983
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Is there any plan in the future to have any turnover on that board?

984
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:49,000
As you know, I was invited to be part of the GPEC.

985
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Group that went to PC the lobby on behalf of the county in the past.

986
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:58,000
And you deny that travel on my part to be able to attend that as a business owner.

987
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Somebody to tell.

988
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:12,000
With economic development in China, which is basically the soon it is now and hopefully will continue to be within cell, the heartbeat of semi-conductor industry within the East Valley.

989
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:25,000
It would be important for us to have turnover in that particular role and I just want to plant that seed for future discussions that I know that you've already made your decision.

990
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Mr. Stewart, we've had this discussion previously. I represent the majority of the city if he makes not all of it, but most of it.

991
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:59,000
It is at the discretion of the chair. I'm aware of the Washington D.C. trip that effort came following your discontinuence from the GPEG board.

992
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:06,000
And as such, the travel was not authorized. And I know that is a very painful for you, but it's...

993
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:11,000
No, no, it's not painful. Just to understand the rationale behind it.

994
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Well, respectfully, that's all the history. What I'd like to do is move forward with emotion on this item.

995
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Madam Chair, I move that we approve item number 28.

996
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,000
Madam Chair, I second, I'd like to make a comment. Looks like my vote.

997
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Please. Given the discussion nature, let's just do a roll call.

998
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:44,000
Madam Clerk, I'm sorry you would district one, please. Yes, thank you. Supervisor Stewart.

999
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Yes.

1000
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Supervisor Galvin.

1001
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,000
I, and Madam Chair, I like to explain my vote. Please.

1002
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Madam Chair, thank you for explaining that question in case anyone else was curious or interested in this topic.

1003
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Yes, the chair does make decision on this, but obviously it's up to the discretion of the entire board and how to vote.

1004
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:13,000
I do know that the five members that we are re-appointing to this GPAC Board are prominent members of the community from across section of our business community.

1005
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:20,000
And represent the county in wonderful ways and have been supported over the board in the county and its endeavors.

1006
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:27,000
I know one thing as a supervisor is incumbent upon me to reach out to these members throughout the year in their service to the county.

1007
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:39,000
They are representing us and I can tell you, Madam Chair, that they have all been very responsive and they also have been good at advancing the interests of not just the county, but the region as a whole.

1008
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:46,000
And so I do defer to your wisdom here and your guidance, but ultimately it is our vote.

1009
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:53,000
So I do will vote for these five members to be re-appointed and I just want to highlight one of these members.

1010
01:17:53,000 --> 01:18:02,000
Amy Perry is the CEO of Banner Health, one of the most important companies in Maricopa County health care is such an important issue.

1011
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:08,000
So I do believe that continuity is important for people like Amy Perry to continue. Thank you, Madam Chair.

1012
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Thank you.

1013
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Vice Chair, let's go.

1014
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,000
I supervisor Gallardo.

1015
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:24,000
I chair Profi McGee. I motion passes unanimously, proceeding on to item number 82.

1016
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Mr. Stewart.

1017
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Thank you. Can I get a brief presentation on this.

1018
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,000
I understand a little bit deeper on what it is.

1019
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Thank you. Miss Flanagan would you please come forward.

1020
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:49,000
Please state your name. So people in the audience know who you are.

1021
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:54,000
This is your wheelhouse and I would appreciate a brief overview.

1022
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Thank you. Madam Chair, my name is Marcie Flanagan.

1023
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:02,000
I'm an assistant county manager here in Maricopa County over health and legal services.

1024
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,000
This program is for our suicide prevention program.

1025
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,000
It's funding we receive from the Arizona Department of Health Services.

1026
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:14,000
The annual funding amount is around $209,000.

1027
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:19,000
This amendment ever proved by the board what it would do would extend.

1028
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:25,000
It would not give additional funds but would extend the time we have to spend those funds through December.

1029
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:37,000
There's around $97,000 left in this contract to spend specifically what the funds would be used for would be an education campaign around suicide prevention.

1030
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:43,000
And some of the work that we've done with this funding has included working with local hospitals.

1031
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:53,000
When there have been suicide attempts working to reach out to those families and provide services and counseling and education.

1032
01:19:53,000 --> 01:20:01,000
We did start a program with schools and doing some telephonic mental health counseling.

1033
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:06,000
There were several school districts that declined last minute to participate.

1034
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:18,000
So that's why we have these leftover $97,000 and they'll be spent in accordance with the CDC's suicide prevention communication playbook.

1035
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Thank you, Ms Flanagan.

1036
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Mr. Stewart, do you have questions?

1037
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:27,000
Marcie, this is extremely important as you know to the entire board as well as the community.

1038
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,000
I just want to thank you for the work that you're doing on this.

1039
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:36,000
It's important initiative by the county in conjunction with our partners.

1040
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:42,000
And I just want to make sure your team got some recognition but also make sure that the community is aware.

1041
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:43,000
Thank you.

1042
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:44,000
Madam Chair.

1043
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Thank you.

1044
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Thank you.

1045
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:47,000
Ms Flanagan.

1046
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:53,000
Mr. Stewart would you like to move on item 82?

1047
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Madam Chair, I'd like to move that we approve item number 82.

1048
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Thank you.

1049
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Thank you.

1050
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Is there a second?

1051
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Second.

1052
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:05,000
It moved in second.

1053
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Any further discussion?

1054
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Proceed to a vote.

1055
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,000
All those in favor will say aye.

1056
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,000
Those of those may.

1057
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Motion passes unanimously.

1058
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:23,000
We are on to what I think is our last 191 which has been pulled and I continue to August 19.

1059
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Madam Vice Chair.

1060
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Madam Chair.

1061
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:32,000
I move that we continue item number 91 to what date?

1062
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,000
August 19.

1063
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:34,000
August 19.

1064
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:35,000
Thank you.

1065
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,000
It's been moved.

1066
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,000
Is there a second please?

1067
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Second.

1068
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,000
It's been moved in second.

1069
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,000
Hearing no discussion will proceed to vote.

1070
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:45,000
All those in favor will say aye.

1071
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Aye.

1072
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Aye.

1073
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,000
Those opposed.

1074
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,000
Motion passes unanimously.

1075
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,000
It has been continued.

1076
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:59,000
We now move on to the Board of Supervisors regular agenda under real estate.

1077
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:04,000
No bill, the easement agreement with the city of Avendale.

1078
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Please note that this item requires a unanimous roll call vote.

1079
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Madam Clerk, are there any speaker forms?

1080
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,000
Madam Chair, not none for this item.

1081
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,000
Thank you.

1082
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,000
The board will now consider item.

1083
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,000
We'll consider item 100.

1084
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,000
Madam Vice Chair.

1085
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1086
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,000

Thank you, is there a second?

Second.

1089
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,000
It's been moved and ultimately seconded.

1090
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Madam Clerk, roll call vote.

1091
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Supervisor Stewart.

1092
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,000
All right.

1093
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Supervisor Galvin.

1094
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:42,000
All right.

1095
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Vice Chair Lesco.

1096
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Aye.

1097
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Supervisor Gallaudet.

1098
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Aye.

1099
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Chair Profimigui.

1100
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Aye.

1101
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Thank you.

1102
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,000
The motion passes unanimously.

1103
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,000
We will move to the Board of Supervisors regular agenda.

1104
01:22:54,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Transportation, contract, and grant of easement with the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation.

1105
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:04,000
The item requires unanimous roll call vote.

1106
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Madam Clerk, do we have any speaker forms?

1107
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Madam Chair, yes.

1108
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:10,000
We do have two speaker forms.

1109
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,000
Tom Arnold, India Cartwright.

1110
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Wish to speak on item 101.

1111
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Mr. Arnold, would you please come forward?

1112
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Welcome, please state your name for the record.

1113
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,000
I'm the Mr. Arnold.

1114
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:38,000
Agenda item 101 asked the Board to approve a no-build easement.

1115
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Before approving this item, I would like to respectfully ask three things, please.

1116
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:50,000
Number one, what specific public benefit is expected from granting this easement?

1117
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Number two, how will the Board determine whether those anticipated public benefits are actually achieved?

1118
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:04,000
And number three, whether it be any follow-up reporting to this board,

1119
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:11,000
so taxpayers can understand whether the easement accomplished its intended purposes?

1120
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:19,000
When long-term property and interest are involved, I believe the public deserves to understand not only why the action is being taken today,

1121
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:23,000
but also how successful it will be measured in the future.

1122
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,000
Thank you.

1123
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,000
Thank you, Mr. Arnold.

1124
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,000
Mr. Newton, this is the shoe.

1125
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,000
Madam Chair.

1126
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:31,000
Madam Chair.

1127
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,000
It's actually our real estate department with Alex.

1128
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:36,000
Thank you.

1129
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Mr. Smith, we have three questions from public participation.

1130
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:42,000
Can you have a seat?

1131
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:47,000
And let's hear also then from the next individual assuming questions.

1132
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,000
Madam Clerk.

1133
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,000
Thank you, Mr. Arnold.

1134
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,000
Thank you.

1135
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,000
The card, right?

1136
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Hello, my name is Leah Cartwright.

1137
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:04,000
And this morning, I would like to ask if the Board considers agenda item 101.

1138
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:12,000
What analysis did the Board review before determining that this easement represents the best long-term use of the property?

1139
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,000
Secondly, we're alternative approaches considered.

1140
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:21,000
And if circumstances change in the future, what options remain available to the county?

1141
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Because today's decisions may have long-term consequences.

1142
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,000
I believe the public should understand the basis for the board's decisions before it's approved.

1143
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Thank you.

1144
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Thank you for your questions.

1145
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Mr. Smith, do you have the all of those?

1146
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,000
Yes, Chair.

1147
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Please.

1148
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Just a quick clarification.

1149
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,000
I believe those questions are related.

1150
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:41,000
Item 100.

1151
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:42,000
And we're on item 101.

1152
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Now, but I'm happy to answer for item 100.

1153
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:53,000
The no-build easement was not approved.

1154
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Excuse me.

1155
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,000
We're approving the no-build easement to assist the city of Aventale.

1156
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:58,000
We have a respectfully.

1157
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:03,000
I wanted you to go to 101.

1158
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,000
Because that already approved.

1159
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:06,000
Correct.

1160
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Madam Chair, the comments were related to 100.

1161
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,000
Thank you.

1162
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,000
We've already taken action on that.

1163
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,000
And Brooke, I don't think we can go back.

1164
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,000
Can we open it?

1165
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Can we answer the questions?

1166
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Madam Chair, that's not your discretion.

1167
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,000
If you'd like additional questions.

1168
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:29,000
We've got the numbering.

1169
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,000
A bunch of us have the numbering rock.

1170
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Please come forward.

1171
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Mr. Smith, can you handle that, please?

1172
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,000
Yes, Chair.

1173
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Okay.

1174
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:44,000
The city of Aventale is requesting the no-build easement for a crisis housing center.

1175
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:49,000
In addition, the county entered into an IGA with Aventale.

1176
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:54,000
And I believe contributed approximately $1.7 million for the housing.

1177
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
There was an error in the survey.

1178
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:01,000
And they need approximately three feet of no-build easement on our landfill property.

1179
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:07,000
That we are otherwise not going to use and based on the use and the county's participation in the project.

1180
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,000
We decided to issue the no-build easement.

1181
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:14,000
We worked with our environmental services department to ensure that they had access to the monitoring well.

1182
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,000
The city of Aventale has been a great partner.

1183
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:20,000
And they're designing the gates so they can get in and do what they need to do for the monitoring well.

1184
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:24,000
And the project is almost complete as of now.

1185
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:29,000
So there would be no monitoring to ensure completion because it's almost complete.

1186
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Thank you.

1187
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,000
And you said it was built on a landfill?

1188
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:39,000
No, it was built on an abandoned piece of right away that is adjacent to our landfill.

1189
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Thank you.

1190
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Any questions from board members?

1191
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:49,000
Thank you to our public participants.

1192
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:54,000
I think we need to vote on item 101.

1193
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,000
Man, I'm chair.

1194
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,000
I move that we approve item 101.

1195
01:27:58,000 --> 01:27:59,000
Thank you.

1196
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Is there a second?

1197
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,000
Second.

1198
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:05,000
This item requires a unanimous roll call vote.

1199
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:06,000
Thank you, Mr Smith.

1200
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:07,000
Madam Clerk.

1201
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,000
Thank you.

1202
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Supervisor Stewart.

1203
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,000
Aye.

1204
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,000
Supervisor Galvin.

1205
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Aye.

1206
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Vice chair.

1207
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,000
Let's go.

1208
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:17,000
Aye.

1209
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,000
Chair Profimigui.

1210
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Aye.

1211
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,000
Creaking right straight along.

1212
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,000
We are on the Board of Supervisors Addendum.

1213
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Item 102.

1214
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,000
Competition in Practicable.

1215
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:36,000
And County Attorney initiative to clearatory judgment action.

1216
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:44,000
Item 104 settlement in Maricopa County versus Howard and Keakabush 105 through 109.

1217
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:49,000
Initiating litigation regarding health code and zoning violations.

1218
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,000
And item 110.

1219
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Maricopa County Resolution.

1220
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Prohibiting personal profit.

1221
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,000
Of non-public information.

1222
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Will.

1223
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Do you want to poll item 110?

1224
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:13,000
So we'll take that off for separate consideration.

1225
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Are there any speaker forms?

1226
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:16,000
Madam Clerk.

1227
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Madam Chair.

1228
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Yes.

1229
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:19,000
I do have one speaker form.

1230
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,000
Joe Hopp.

1231
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Which is to speak on item 102.

1232
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Thank you.

1233
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:28,000
Mr. Hopp would you please come forward.

1234
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:33,000
And station in for the record.

1235
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:38,000
Joe Hopp.

1236
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:43,000
My 102 is northern Parkway easement long-term planning.

1237
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,000
I don't think we're on the right number.

1238
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Right.

1239
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,000
That's because you have been changed.

1240
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,000
But you can either tell me which number this is.

1241
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:56,000
If allow me to read it or I can wait until this one gets its new number.

1242
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Because I've got one that has this list.

1243
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
It is one of two but it's been changed.

1244
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Thank you. Madam Chair, that is item 101. So now we're back on 101. Okay, we have already taken a vote on that issue, but we will hear your comments, sir.

1245
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,000
Thank you.

1246
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Again, item 101 involves another long-term property action related to transportation infrastructure. Before approving this item, I respectfully ask, what long-term transportation objectives does this easement support?

1247
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:42,000
What analysis did the board review before determining that this action represents the best long-term use of county property?

1248
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:48,000
How will the board evaluate whether the anticipated public benefits are actually achieved?

1249
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:59,000
If your circumstances change, what opportunities exist for this board to revisit or evaluate the effectiveness of today's decision?

1250
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:07,000
Long-term property decisions deserve long-term accountability.

1251
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Thank you.

1252
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:13,000
Mr. Smith.

1253
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:29,000
And well, Mr. Smith is getting settled. Could you double check the numbering on the remaining speaker forms of a week-width encounterings?

1254
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:32,000
Thank you. Yes, Madam Chair.

1255
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:42,000
Members of the board. This is related to a relocation of a U.S. Bureau Reclamation Irrigation line in relation to the Northern Parkway project.

1256
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:52,000
That is approximately, I want to say, it's $318 million federal project to expand Northern Parkway in this particular area from 99th Avenue to 103rd Avenue.

1257
01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:00,000
This is a typical utility relocation that's made a bit more complex by the research that needs to be done.

1258
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:09,000
We had to go back to patent on these items because it's a Bureau Item and it's been reviewed by the Bureau Reclamation in land agents at SRP.

1259
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,000
Thank you.

1260
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:23,000
So we are back on item 102 and don't go too far away, but you're excuse for the moment. I hope that answered your question, Mr. Ho.

1261
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Item 102 through 109. The board will now consider those items. Item 110 will be considered for separate separately at the request of supervisor Galvin.

1262
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Madam Vice Chair, do you have a motion?

1263
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:46,000
Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that we approve items. Number 102 through 109.

1264
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,000
Thank you, is there a second?

1265
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:49,000
Second.

1266
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,000
It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor will say aye.

1267
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Aye. Aye.

1268
01:32:54,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Any opposed motion passage unanimously, where now on item 110, Maricopa County Resolution, Prohibiting Personal Profit,

1269
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,000
Off-Lum Public Information, Mr. Galvin?

1270
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Madam Chair, if I may, I would like to ask the county manager to give us a brief overview and then I have some comments as well for the motivations behind this agenda item.

1271
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:17,000
Thank you.

1272
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Please.

1273
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1274
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Thank you, supervisor Galvin.

1275
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:34,000
At the chair and supervisor, Galvin's request, they ask that we bring forward a resolution that prohibits profit from using non-public information.

1276
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:47,000
I think as many people are aware, prediction markets are growing in popularity and this resolution would prohibit staff from using any information that they gain in their job duties.

1277
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:58,000
That is not available to the public to wager on any of these topics, which would include government action, election outcomes, politics, anything along those lines.

1278
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:05,000
So this provides some additional safeguards that reinforce the county's existing code of conduct.

1279
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:15,000
And also I think provides assurances to the public that the information that we have at the county is not being used for any nefarious purpose.

1280
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:16,000
Thank you.

1281
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:19,000
Madam Chair, I just have one question for the county manager.

1282
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:28,000
As I understand it, Jennifer, these, this resolution would apply to all employees that report up to the county manager through the Board of Supervisors.

1283
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:33,000
But do not apply to employees of the other county elected offices, correct?

1284
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Madam Chair, supervisor Galvin, that is correct.

1285
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:43,000
The other county elected offices would need to adopt their own resolution or policy.

1286
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,000
Okay. Thank you. Madam Chair, if I may.

1287
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,000
Please.

1288
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:52,000
I want to talk about the motivations for this and I really want to extend my things to you for your leadership.

1289
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:55,000
You have shown leadership on a wide variety of this year.

1290
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Wide variety of the issues this year as chair.

1291
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,000
You know, we heard today about your leadership on GPEC as well.

1292
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:10,000
But when it comes to this resolution of prohibiting personal profit from non-Public information, it is very important for me and I know that it is important for this entire Board.

1293
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:16,000
For our constituents and our residents to know that everything we do here at Maricopa County is above board.

1294
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:21,000
And frankly, not just at Maricopa County, but throughout the rest of the state and throughout the rest of the country.

1295
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,000
And one issue of particular importance to me is election integrity.

1296
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:36,000
And we want to make sure that our employees are not doing anything nefarious, but at the same time, even though we don't believe they are, we want to make sure that the public knows that this is an important issue for us.

1297
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:43,000
And as we have been leading on election integrity over the last five, six, seven years, every single year, we implement something newer.

1298
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:49,000
And also more stringent to make sure that we are tightening up any questions or ideas of people might have overrelections.

1299
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:58,000
And can you imagine Madam Chair, if we did not pass this resolution, they came to light that maybe one bad seat had done something wrong, people would be justifiably upset.

1300
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:02,000
But it doesn't include, it doesn't just stop or limit it at elections.

1301
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,000
It goes to all the different lines of business we have at Maricopa County.

1302
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:11,000
We have so many different departments, including public health and transportation, and real estate, a wide variety.

1303
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:15,000
So this is very important for make sure that we're keeping up with the times.

1304
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:23,000
And as I understand it, Madam Chair, I believe once if we do pass this resolution, we will be the first large county in the nation to do this.

1305
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:26,000
So I'm really proud to be working with you on this.

1306
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,000
And I thank you for moving so quickly on this.

1307
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:31,000
And I hope that my colleagues vote for this as well.

1308
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,000
I think this is really important to instill confidence with our constituents.

1309
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Thank you so much.

1310
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,000
Thank you.

1311
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:40,000
Are there any questions or comments from board members?

1312
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,000
Madam Chair.

1313
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,000
Mr. Stewart.

1314
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,000
Thank you.

1315
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,000
This is a, I think it's a brilliant idea.

1316
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:53,000
I mean, I wish we could fire this up to Congress or Nancy Pelosi's office.

1317
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:57,000
But do you think did the MCAO go through this?

1318
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,000
And are we good to go?

1319
01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Has it already been better?

1320
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:02,000
We didn't talk about sitting executive session on Monday.

1321
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,000
And it's kind of the first introduction that I've got to this.

1322
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,000
So I just have a couple questions.

1323
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:08,000
Thank you.

1324
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,000
Madam County Manager.

1325
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Madam Chair.

1326
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Yes.

1327
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:15,000
MCAO has reviewed this and approved.

1328
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Okay.

1329
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Fantastic.

1330
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,000
And why can't it be extended across the county?

1331
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:25,000
Is it because those are dual electric positions that are just easier to do that?

1332
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,000
Through each individual office?

1333
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,000
I'm just kind of curious.

1334
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:29,000
Madam County Manager.

1335
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:30,000
Yes.

1336
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:31,000
Madam Chair.

1337
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:37,000
My understanding there are certain policies that the board can adapt related to their power of the

1338
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Perth that can and their control over county facilities that can apply across all elected offices with a specific

1339
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:53,000
budgetary connection, such as our compensation policy, such as our facilities policies.

1340
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:59,000
All of those type of policies that really directly to all of the board's duties.

1341
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:05,000
Those can be approved and applied to all other elected offices.

1342
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:10,000
This is a specific policy for employment.

1343
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:16,000
So there are specific employment policies that would only apply to the appointed departments.

1344
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:24,000
And there is case law that shows that some of the elected offices have direct control over their staff.

1345
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:36,000
So for example, if there was an issued an elected office staffer, it is that elected that has the power to address that issue through discipline or termination.

1346
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:42,000
The board cannot force an elected officer to terminate one of their employees.

1347
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:52,000
So because this would, this relates to staff conduct, this would have to be adopted by those other elected offices separately.

1348
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:53,000
Okay. Thank you.

1349
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,000
And then, it doesn't roll up through the board.

1350
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:01,000
Like where responsible this is too as well.

1351
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Madam Chair, I would actually defer to our county attorney to answer that question.

1352
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:11,000
If it applies to board staff.

1353
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Madam Chair actually, Kevin from the county attorney's office, it's going to come up and answer that question.

1354
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:25,000
So could you help me understand the question again, please, Mr. Stewart.

1355
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:30,000
And I'm glad you got your carbon monoxide alarm fixed.

1356
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:35,000
Do you, is this roll through the board? Are we responsible for this resolution as well?

1357
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:41,000
With our district in different, with our board offices, correct?

1358
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Okay.

1359
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:44,000
No, is that your question, sir?

1360
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:45,000
Yes, ma'am.

1361
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Thank you.

1362
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:49,000
I'll get everybody up.

1363
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Please, state your name for the record and answer the question.

1364
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Madam Chair, Kevin Costello, the county attorney's office.

1365
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:03,000
At this point, it is the board that is adopting this policy.

1366
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:08,000
Sorry, it is the board that is adopting this policy.

1367
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:12,000
That would lead me to believe it would apply to board staff.

1368
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:18,000
However, I'm happy to look at that question specifically, research it and get back to the board.

1369
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:19,000
Mr. Calvin.

1370
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:23,000
Madam Chair, to that point, I don't think there's any question here.

1371
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:30,000
It says all Maricopa County employees and board staff are all Maricopa County employees.

1372
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:34,000
And they have access to a lot of sensitive information.

1373
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:37,000
So I believe this is written to cover everyone.

1374
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:39,000
I'm voting us.

1375
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:45,000
I don't have a specific disagreement with that.

1376
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:46,000
Thank you.

1377
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Okay.

1378
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:48,000
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1379
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:49,000
And then one final question.

1380
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:59,000
What is the punishment for if a board member or any staff is bound to be guilty of speculating on Cal Schee or whatever that may be?

1381
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Thank you.

1382
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:02,000
Madam Chair.

1383
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,000
Mr. Fraser Stewart, I'll attempt to answer that question.

1384
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Kevin, can perhaps add any legal context that I may have missed.

1385
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:16,000
The board members are responsive to their constituents.

1386
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:21,000
So this, if a board member was found to be violating this policy,

1387
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:26,000
that would have to be determined by their constituents if they should be removed from the office.

1388
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:35,000
But if there is an employee that has done something that's in violation of this resolution,

1389
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,000
there would be an HR investigation.

1390
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:45,000
And the results of the HR investigation could lead to discipline and most likely termination.

1391
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,000
Thank you.

1392
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,000
My final question, Madam Chair.

1393
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:55,000
Is this in response to anything that's happened or is this a proactive measure on supervisor government part?

1394
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,000
Again, I want to reiterate.

1395
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:03,000
I'm a fan of this, but I'm just kind of curious with some of the details.

1396
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,000
Madam Chair.

1397
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,000
Mr. Fraser Stewart.

1398
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:18,000
I can answer that I am not aware of anything in the any issue in the appointed departments of an employee ever doing this that resulted in discipline.

1399
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:22,000
I have no awareness of that during my tenure as County Manager.

1400
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
We have a solid team here, very focused on public service.

1401
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,000
So I am not aware of a violation.

1402
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:32,000
But I know this is something that was very important to the chair and supervisor Galvin,

1403
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:36,000
so that the public knew how seriously we would take this issue.

1404
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Mr. Galvin.

1405
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Madam Chair to that point.

1406
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:39,000
It's a very good question.

1407
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,000
This is a proactive measure.

1408
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,000
This is a policy that I have seen out in the private sector.

1409
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,000
I adopt a by a lot of companies.

1410
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,000
I do believe that this board of supervisors is a professional board.

1411
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:53,000
In terms that we want to conduct our business like a business.

1412
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:55,000
This is something that would be doing.

1413
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:57,000
That companies would be doing out in the private sector.

1414
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,000
So I think it's always good for us to be proactive.

1415
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,000
Always good for us to be thinking ahead.

1416
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,000
Basically think about what can come around the corner.

1417
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:06,000
You never want to have a situation where something happens.

1418
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,000
And then after the fact you have to address it.

1419
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:12,000
And then Madam Chair for supervisor Stewart's previous question,

1420
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,000
which is also a good one.

1421
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:18,000
The second clause here in the resolution refers to statute as well.

1422
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:21,000
So there's a statute that prohibits public officers and employees

1423
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:24,000
from using or disclosing confidential non-public information.

1424
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,000
So this is also based on existing state law.

1425
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:28,000
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1426
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,000
Thank you, Mr. Galvin.

1427
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,000
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1428
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,000
Mr. Galvin.

1429
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:38,000
This is your agenda item.

1430
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,000
Would you please move the item forward?

1431
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:42,000
Yes.

1432
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Thank you.

1433
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:47,000
With gratitude to staff who worked on this in Madam Chair who put this on the agenda so quickly.

1434
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,000
I move passage of this item.

1435
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:51,000
Thank you, is there a second?

1436
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Second.

1437
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:53,000
Thank you.

1438
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,000
It's been moved and seconded.

1439
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:59,000
Any further discussion or comments before we proceed to a vote?

1440
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Hearing none.

1441
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,000
All those in favor will say aye.

1442
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:04,000
Aye.

1443
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Those opposed.

1444
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Motion passes unanimously.

1445
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:11,000
We will recess as a Board of Supervisors and convene as the

1446
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Improvement District Madam Clerk.

1447
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:17,000
Do we have any speaker forms for item 1-11 amendment to

1448
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:21,000
Australia, Dolls, One, Water, Improvement District?

1449
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:25,000
Madam Chair, I do not have any speaker's speaker forms.

1450
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Thank you.

1451
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:31,000
We will proceed to a vote on this item.

1452
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Madam Vice Chair?

1453
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Madam Chair, I move that we approve item number 11.

1454
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,000
Thank you, is there a second?

1455
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:40,000
Second.

1456
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:42,000
Hearing no further discussion.

1457
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,000
All those in favor will say aye.

1458
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:45,000
Aye.

1459
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Any opposed?

1460
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,000
Motion carries unanimously.

1461
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,000
We will now adjourn as the Improvement District and convene as the

1462
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Flood Control District Board of Directors for consideration of items 1-12.

1463
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:16,000
1, 13, 1, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. Madam clerk, do we have any speaker forms for those items? Madam chair, I do not have any speaker forms on these items.

1464
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:36,000
Thank you. The board will now consider items 1, 12, through 1, 18, for the flood control district. All those in favour? Madam chair, I move that we approve items number 1, 12, through 1, 18.

1465
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:39,000
Thank you. It's been moved. Is there a second?

1466
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:47,000
Okay. Hearing no further discussion, we will proceed to a vote. All those in favour will say aye, aye, aye, aye.

1467
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Those opposed. Motion passes unanimously. We will adjourn as the flood control district board of directors and convene as the library district board of directors.

1468
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:07,000
For items 1, 19, through 1, 24. Madam clerk, do we have any speaker forms for the library district items?

1469
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Madam chair, if I may, before I continue, just bring to your attention on our slide, it says flood control, that is a typo, it should be library district on that header.

1470
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:37,000
And yes, I do have speakers. In first of all, the speaker Andrew Ty, Lori Baroney, and Leslie Shepherd, they marked to speak on agenda item 119, which is the amendment to IDA with town of fountain hills.

1471
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:46,000
Madam chair, if I may, just ask if that is the correct item they wish to speak on.

1472
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,000
I am in change anything.

1473
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Hang on a second. It's the numbering again.

1474
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:58,000
Madam chair, that is the number that is marked to your on the agenda. I am sorry under speaker form.

1475
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Really thought it was a different one.

1476
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Direct agenda.

1477
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:06,360
Your agenda item item or number one was changed.

1478
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:07,360
Correct.

1479
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:08,360
With the agenda.

1480
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:09,360
With the agenda.

1481
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:12,240
You got to go off from.

1482
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:20,680
So identifying the items, first of all, do those who have signed up wish to speak to the

1483
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:22,680
library district.

1484
01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:23,680
Yep.

1485
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:24,680
Okay.

1486
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:29,040
Why don't we have you come and speak and then we'll figure out which items they pertain

1487
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:32,040
to and thank you for your understanding and patience.

1488
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:34,040
Okay.

1489
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:35,040
Good morning.

1490
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:40,040
Today, you're acting as the Maricopa County Library District Board.

1491
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:42,040
Please state your name for the record.

1492
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:43,040
Oh, I'm sorry.

1493
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:45,040
Andrew Thomas, die.

1494
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:50,040
Board while considering another five year library agreement.

1495
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,040
My questions concern governments.

1496
01:47:52,040 --> 01:48:00,040
Who establishes the Library District policies regarding classification and labeling

1497
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:02,040
of material?

1498
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:10,040
Has this board formally reviewed those policies before proving another five year agreement?

1499
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:17,040
If concerns are raised by members of the public regarding those policies, what processes

1500
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:24,040
exist for this board acting as the Library District Board to review them?

1501
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:29,040
Finally, if changes to those policies are recommended,

1502
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:33,040
who has the authority to approve them?

1503
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:41,040
If Library staff are correctly following district policies and members of the public disagree with

1504
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:51,040
the policies itself rather than its implementation, when has the board last reviewed the policy?

1505
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,040
Thank you.

1506
01:48:53,040 --> 01:49:02,040
If the other two speakers would or compiling your questions, I will address them.

1507
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:05,040
I ask the Library District Board.

1508
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,040
There's not an agenda item for that.

1509
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:19,040
You've asked the general questions related to Library District policies.

1510
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:22,040
Please state your name for the record.

1511
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:28,040
I'd like for the record state that approximately 70.4% of this agenda is hidden under

1512
01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:31,040
consent, where we're not allowed to speak.

1513
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,040
Again, shame on you.

1514
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:34,040
Good morning.

1515
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:37,040
Today we're not simply renewing a contract.

1516
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:41,040
You're renewing five years of Library District Policy under your oversight.

1517
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:45,040
This board is responsible for approving another five year Library District Agreement.

1518
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:48,040
My questions concern accountability.

1519
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:52,040
If residents have a Library District Policy that should be reconsidered,

1520
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:56,040
what formal process exists for bringing that issue to the Library District Board?

1521
01:49:56,040 --> 01:50:02,040
Has this board established any regular public review of Library District policies during the term of these agreements?

1522
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:08,040
And how will the public know whether the Library District has achieved the objective's expected under today's agreement?

1523
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:14,040
Before approving another five year agreement, I respectfully ask this board to confirm that it has reviewed the Library District

1524
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:15,040
Policy.

1525
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:20,040
It is interesting to operate over the next five years.

1526
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:21,040
Thank you.

1527
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:29,040
I'd also like to say that, you know, you're still gaslighting people on the whole Library being corrected.

1528
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:30,040
It's not.

1529
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:32,040
So do something about it.

1530
01:50:32,040 --> 01:50:33,040
Shame on you.

1531
01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:34,040
Thank you.

1532
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:39,040
Madam Chair, Leslie Shepherd.

1533
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:40,040
Yes.

1534
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:41,040
Thank you.

1535
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:46,040
There's going to be a problem with another one also because you had two Library things.

1536
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:49,040
And you guys inserted like four or five different agenda items.

1537
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:52,040
So there's going to be another time when people are going to want to talk on the Library.

1538
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:56,040
It's not assigned to the one and it's not, as you said, label even right.

1539
01:50:56,040 --> 01:51:02,040
So a gentle agenda number, whatever it is, when I've talked about the Library District,

1540
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:10,040
you know, my thing is always going to come back to the labeling now because we were told that this was dealt with back in October.

1541
01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:17,040
Of 2025 and I think it's a valid question that was asked.

1542
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:26,040
You know, when you look at the policies, whatever set up, I don't think labeling is being actually addressed enough.

1543
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,040
And I know that you guys are doing across the board.

1544
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:38,040
So before proving the Fourth Amendment extending this agreement, another five years, what review has the Library District Board conducted,

1545
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:42,040
regarding the policies operating, it's kind of like a repeat of what they've been saying.

1546
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:46,040
And I wanted to clarify when it says the first second and third amendment.

1547
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:48,040
They're talking about the amendment to this policy.

1548
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:52,040
They're not talking about a constitutional rights, correct?

1549
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:55,040
Because it says the first second and third amendment.

1550
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:59,040
So I assume it means the amendment to this agenda item.

1551
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:07,040
So that's the question because you know, you guys have all been sent something and all talked about that during public comment.

1552
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:14,040
So if somebody can answer those questions, we would really appreciate it though they're not numbered right and though it's not labeled right.

1553
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:17,040
Thank you, Madam County Manager.

1554
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:20,040
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1555
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:26,040
Just to clarify, so our agenda, if this is helpful for the speakers,

1556
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:33,040
our agenda has 119, which is amendment to IGA with town of Fountain Hills for Library Operation.

1557
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:37,040
120 is IGA with town of Gilbert for Library Operation.

1558
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:48,040
So I'm not sure if those were the items that are choosing to speak to the rest of the items are generally accepting donations to the Library.

1559
01:52:49,040 --> 01:53:02,040
The IGA's with Fountain Hills and the town of Gilbert are long standing IGA's that we have to operate libraries on the behalf of these jurisdictions.

1560
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:11,040
And these two jurisdictions have already approved both of these IGA's and now they're in front of the board for consideration for approval.

1561
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:19,040
The amendments that are on the that are listed in there are amendments to the IGA.

1562
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:26,040
And Jeremy Reader is here and he is the Library Director and perhaps Jeremy can provide some information.

1563
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:30,040
Madam Chair, if you would like the IGA themselves.

1564
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:36,040
What I'd like to ask before we hear from staff is, do how many speakers do we have?

1565
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:39,040
I thought you said three is it four.

1566
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:47,040
I shared those with the speakers on which sounded like they were speaking on item 119, the amendment to the IGA with town of Fountain Hills.

1567
01:53:47,040 --> 01:54:05,040
However, I do have six that have marked to speak on item number 120, which is the IGA with town of Gilbert and just like the county manager said Madam Chair for clarification.

1568
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:10,040
These items are under the library district, yes, quickly on the agenda.

1569
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:18,040
So going to the public just very quickly, I believe we have more speakers on library subjects.

1570
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:24,040
Correct? Okay, so let's give all the questions on the table.

1571
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:28,040
Who is, who are next two speakers?

1572
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:40,040
Next two speakers on item number 120, no I library item, yes library item, no I James Markham, Laurie Baroni.

1573
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:43,040
And then who are the remaining speakers?

1574
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:49,040
Let's the shepherd, the cart right, Roger May and Tom Arnold.

1575
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:56,040
Okay, so well, our next speaker is coming up.

1576
01:54:56,040 --> 01:54:59,040
Is it Noah? James? Yes, that's true.

1577
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:05,040
I wanted to reiterate, because this, we've had the numerating issue in the past.

1578
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:21,040
The board meets on Monday in executive session, and from that executive session, they produce what's what are called a dendom items, executive session items that require public action of the board.

1579
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:31,040
And they goes on these agendas. So what I would request that everyone do is we have a draft agenda that's published on Friday.

1580
01:55:31,040 --> 01:55:41,040
And then please check 24 hours, you identify your item, your number, please check and make sure that you've got the numbers lined up.

1581
01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:48,040
And we'll see if we need to make further communications improvements. Mr. Mr. Noah Markham.

1582
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:49,040
Thank you.

1583
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:56,040
Hello, I'm Sharon to the rest of the board. My name is Noah James Markham.

1584
01:55:56,040 --> 01:56:00,040
And I would like to talk about on 120.

1585
01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:05,040
I was raised up in the town of Gilberr, coming from Hawaii in 2008.

1586
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:09,040
So I'm excited to talk about our libraries here.

1587
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:14,040
Reading is a good skill to have, and I encourage any kind of books in the library.

1588
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:27,040
And also, I would like to talk about, I don't know if we have books that explains what a trans woman is or a trans man is, but we need to educate anyone to know who they are.

1589
01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:29,040
They are not boring.

1590
01:56:29,040 --> 01:56:35,040
And I don't know. They are just thinking that God made them that way, or they will warn that way.

1591
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:41,040
Yes, we were born into sin, into this world, that's for a fact.

1592
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:50,040
And also, we need to keep the books that talk about homosexuality, just in case people don't know what that is.

1593
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:52,040
Mahala, thank you so much.

1594
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:58,040
Thank you, Madam Clerk. Next speaker, Laurie Baroni, followed by Leslie Shepherd.

1595
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:10,040
Agenda item 120.

1596
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:19,040
Again, I'd like to state for the record that 70.4% approximately of these items are under consent and we are not allowed to discuss them.

1597
01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:26,040
So, the people don't get to know what all y'all are doing, sadly, it's disgusting.

1598
01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:30,040
Anyway, good morning supervisors.

1599
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:36,040
Today, as the Maricopa County Library District Board, you are considering another five year library district agreement.

1600
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:48,040
Before extending this agreement, I respectfully ask, what objective information did this board review before deciding that the library district's current classification and labeling policies should continue for another five years.

1601
01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:55,040
Because I've seen it, and you're still targeting minors with some of those books. They are still labeled for minors.

1602
01:57:55,040 --> 01:58:00,040
So, shame on you for gaslighting and telling people that it's taken care of because it's not.

1603
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:07,040
Did you receive any written reports about any of the things going on at the board and how they're classified and labeled?

1604
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:12,040
Did you review any studies evaluations or public feedback regarding those policies?

1605
01:58:12,040 --> 01:58:19,040
Did the board consider whether any policy revisions should be discussed before approving another five year agreement?

1606
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:24,040
And if so, will those materials be made available to the public?

1607
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:28,040
Because today's vote extends these policies for another five years.

1608
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:34,040
I believe the public should understand what information this board relied upon before making that decision.

1609
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:39,040
Again, shame on y'all for gaslighting the public.

1610
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,040
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1611
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:48,040
Leslie Shepherd, the card right, then Roger May.

1612
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:55,040
Actually, I'm super glad that Jeremy's here. I actually love him a lot. He's wonderful and we both have a great love for the library.

1613
01:58:55,040 --> 01:59:02,040
So, my best memories growing up were in the library. I'm very protective of the library, not just children.

1614
01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:09,040
So, I'm going to ask the same thing. It's going to be, you know, basically what steps are being made.

1615
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:15,040
I know that I did speak to Jeremy and he did say that they're going to be working on possibly looking at the labeling, labeling issue.

1616
01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:20,040
The reason that it's being brought up is you guys are making decisions here for the next five years.

1617
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:23,040
I thought it was interesting that you said it was already passed.

1618
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:26,040
And now they're just bringing it here as a technicality.

1619
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:28,040
So, that's a little concerning.

1620
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:35,040
Some of my questions that I've had in listening, you kind of, or should I say, in doing little studying over there,

1621
01:59:35,040 --> 01:59:44,040
we were waiting, had been answered, but teen bio, all the ways aren't blue.

1622
01:59:44,040 --> 01:59:49,040
Teen, it's a memoir manifesto.

1623
01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:59,040
We've read it out loud here. It's quite graphic. Very, very porno, sexually graphic. This book is gay.

1624
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:10,000
Pages that say, boy on boy, girl on girl. This is in the teen social science available to kids at any point. They want to go see it.

1625
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:18,000
We're now asking you to babysit. We're in there. We're asking you at least be attention to at least labeling as if it matters to you. Thank you.

1626
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:25,000
Madam Clerk, Leah Cartwright, Roger Mab, Tom Arnold.

1627
02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:40,000
Good morning, agenda item 12 renews another five-year library district agreement. As the governing library district board, I respectfully ask what measurable standards are expected of libraries operating under these agreements.

1628
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:45,000
How does the board monitor compliance with those standards throughout the five-year term?

1629
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:54,000
If any members of the public identify concerns regarding library district policies, what formal process exists for those concerns to be reviewed by this board?

1630
02:00:54,000 --> 02:01:04,000
Finally with periodic reports be provided, so the public can evaluate how those agreements are being administered before the next renewal is considered.

1631
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:07,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1632
02:01:07,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Next, speaker Roger Mab, last speaker Tom Arnold.

1633
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,000
Thank you, please stay tuned for the record.

1634
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:27,000
My name is Roger Mab. Today is the Maricopa County Library District Board. You're considering another five-year library district agreement.

1635
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:33,000
My questions concern the policy review before renewing this agreement.

1636
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:44,000
Has this board formally reviewed the library district's policies governing how materials are classified for children, teens and adults?

1637
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:51,000
When was this review conducted? What was it discussed in a public meeting?

1638
02:01:51,000 --> 02:02:01,000
And if the board has not recently reviewed these policies, why is another five-year agreement being approved without first evaluating them?

1639
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:11,000
Today you are not simply reviewing an agreement you are renewing another five years of the library district policies under your oversight.

1640
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:16,000
The oversight that still has these pornographic books in the minor sections.

1641
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:26,000
It's easy to find out what homosexuality is if you just refer to the Bible. It says it's an abomination.

1642
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:40,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk. Last speaker Tom Arnold.

1643
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:58,000
During business to multiple Maricopa County libraries, library staff consistency consistently, excuse me, explain that they are following established library district policies.

1644
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:04,000
My questions today are not about whether library employees are following those policies.

1645
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:13,000
My questions are about whether this board has reviewed the policies themselves.

1646
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:27,000
Question one, when was the last time the library district board evaluated whether the current classification and labeling policies continue to reflect the objectives of the library district?

1647
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:40,000
Second question, if policy changes become appropriate during the next five years what process exists for this board to review and consider those changes?

1648
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:50,000
I respectfully ask this question because today's vote extends these policies for another five years under the board's oversight.

1649
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:58,000
Thank you. That concludes the speaking portion of these agenda items.

1650
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:01,000
Madam County Manager, turning it over to you.

1651
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:09,000
Thank you, Madam Chair. I will try to answer the questions and if the board has any further questions, Jeremy Reader is here. He's the library director.

1652
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:23,000
The items on the agenda are IGA's with found hills, the town of found hills and IGA with town of Gilbert so that we can operate their library for them.

1653
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:36,000
If there is a policy change at the county library in between the term of this IGA, that policy would apply.

1654
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:51,000
To clarify, when I just want to clarify, when I mentioned that the IGA has been approved, the town of Gilbert Council approved the IGA, the town of found hills, council approved the IGA.

1655
02:04:51,000 --> 02:05:03,000
That is typical for any IGA that comes before the board, the lower forms of government such as cities and towns do the approval first before it comes to this board for consideration.

1656
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:09,000
I know that answers your questions or if you have any further questions, thank you.

1657
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:14,000
Do board members have any further questions and Mr. Gallardo.

1658
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Yeah, Madam Chair, Janet and I just clarification and I think you touched on it, but I just want to make sure we're clear.

1659
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:31,000
For instance, the town of Gilbert, if they, if they wanted to, they can go and construct their own library and pay for it.

1660
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Madam Chair is the supervisor guard or that is correct.

1661
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:37,000
Okay, thank you.

1662
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:39,000
Thank you.

1663
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:41,000
Any other comment?

1664
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Mr. Stewart.

1665
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:47,000
Yes, thank you. I think one of the questions was, and I'm kind of curious.

1666
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:52,000
What was the last time the library policy was reviewed comprehensively similar to what we just did.

1667
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Thanks to supervisor Gallvan with the zoning planning zoning ordinances.

1668
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:02,000
What was the last time that was done for the library, Madam Chair.

1669
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:06,000
Thank you. I'm going to turn this over to our open meeting attorney.

1670
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:12,000
Yes, Madam Chair, there's been some discussions about a board review of policies to accept the answers.

1671
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:20,000
Questions addressed information heard in previous executive sessions, that information will be published.

1672
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Thank you. So I hope that's helpful.

1673
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,000
Madam Chair, it's not.

1674
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:27,000
I'm just looking for the dates.

1675
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:36,000
Not anything that was privileged to conversation with the, the, the, the, just, just when, when, when, when was the policy reviewed.

1676
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:40,000
And you have to excuse me, I'm a little under the weather. So Mike, what was getting?

1677
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,000
I'm glad you're feeling better than yesterday.

1678
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Madam County manager, do we have specific dates, or will that need to be something staff researches?

1679
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:59,000
Madam Chair, we can research those dates and provide those dates to supervisor Stewart's office.

1680
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,000
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1681
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:02,000
Thank you.

1682
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:07,000
Any other questions or comments from board members?

1683
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:16,000
Hearing none, we will proceed to a vote on library district, one items, one nineteen through one twenty four, Madam Vice Chair.

1684
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:22,000
Madam Chair, I move that we approve items number nineteen through one twenty four.

1685
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:25,000
Thank you, is there second?

1686
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:28,000
It's been moved in seconded.

1687
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,000
We will now proceed to a vote.

1688
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:32,000
All those in favor will say aye.

1689
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:33,000
Aye.

1690
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:36,000
Any opposed motion passes unanimously.

1691
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:39,000
We're on to the final items of our agenda today.

1692
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:43,000
We adjourn as the library district board of directors and reconvene.

1693
02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:48,000
As the board of supervisors starting item one twenty five public comment.

1694
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:55,000
Madam Clerk, do we have individuals and also could you speak to the email commentary we've received?

1695
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:57,000
Madam Chair, yes, thank you.

1696
02:07:57,000 --> 02:08:04,000
We did receive a few email comments regarding elections and the BOS recorded litigation.

1697
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:08,000
All of those emails have been shared with all the board offices.

1698
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:13,000
And in front of me I have fourteen speaker forms.

1699
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Thank you, please proceed.

1700
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:25,000
First speaker, Diane Barker, followed by NOAA James Markham and then Daniel Coffinger.

1701
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:28,000
Thank you.

1702
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:35,000
Ms. Barker, you're up to that, please state your name for the record.

1703
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Diane Barker, before you chair woman Kate Broffey McGee and the Board of Supervisors.

1704
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:47,000
I'm still on district five and we got some dirty air here.

1705
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:51,000
You know, my supervisor, Steve.

1706
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:53,000
You know, we need to clean it up.

1707
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,000
We had a big pace the other day.

1708
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:01,000
The desk storm is typical in the summer but we haven't seen that.

1709
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:04,000
I was really wishing there would be a lot of rain.

1710
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:16,000
The purpose of my commentary is, Steve, we've had what's called trip reduction of pointies and they've been re-appointed people.

1711
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:25,000
And looking at their bios, one came up through the Maricopa County, the other one through the city of Phoenix, and they got re-appointed.

1712
02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:36,000
I very much am in support of the inquiry of our supervisor, steward, with re-importments, very points over a jeepack.

1713
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:41,000
I think there needs to be more transparency in the board.

1714
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:51,000
I'm not saying that any of these individuals that you have are really wrongful people, but I think when there are problems in a big county like Maricopa County,

1715
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:56,000
we need as many fresh ideas coming from different areas.

1716
02:09:56,000 --> 02:10:02,000
And I remember in the re-appointment, when the jeepack came up a couple years ago,

1717
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:11,000
I noticed that just speaking on equality and even gender equality, there weren't any females on there.

1718
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:15,000
And I think that Steve, you said you were going to look in that.

1719
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Maybe you did, because I think the one, this re-appointment, did come from the city of Phoenix.

1720
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:29,000
But we need to, I've been over as a jeepack when I want a more physicist there.

1721
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:32,000
It's an important organization.

1722
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:40,000
And I think you need to have more of transparency, dialogue before you pre-appoint.

1723
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:43,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1724
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:49,000
No, I changed Markham, Daniel Copinger, and the joffery.

1725
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:52,000
I'm sorry I cannot pronounce the last name.

1726
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,000
Welcome.

1727
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,000
Hello, I'd share into the rest of the board of supervisors.

1728
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:02,000
My name is Noah James Markham, and I'm from the great city of Tempe.

1729
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:05,000
I would like to talk about my early ballot.

1730
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:10,000
That wasn't received in the mail, and I signed up for it a long time ago.

1731
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:15,000
And I looked online, and it said it was inactive for that address.

1732
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:17,000
I lived there.

1733
02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:20,000
And I'm very upset with Justin.

1734
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:24,000
He put messing around with my mailbox, my mail-in ballot.

1735
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:25,000
Shame on you.

1736
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:27,000
And it's not just my ballot.

1737
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:31,000
It's been all around this, Mary Copa County.

1738
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:33,000
I've been here in it.

1739
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:35,000
And also my family.

1740
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:37,000
Valice.

1741
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:43,000
I'm on the app to ballot lists, but never got them out this primary election.

1742
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:44,000
Interesting.

1743
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:49,000
So I'm sorry for losing your case, but keep fighting Justin Heat.

1744
02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:52,000
He has a big team that's rooting for him.

1745
02:11:52,000 --> 02:11:55,000
President Peterson is state capital.

1746
02:11:55,000 --> 02:12:00,000
His big grave of the house, Steve Montenegro.

1747
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:04,000
Then two judges, just that we're appointed by Governor Ducey,

1748
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:07,000
voted not in favour of the board.

1749
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:11,000
And one judge says, got appointed by Governor

1750
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:14,000
Jan Brewer.

1751
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:15,000
Y'all ain't got a board.

1752
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:17,000
Obama and his presidency.

1753
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:19,000
Shame on you.

1754
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:22,000
And extend the light route to the cities that I wanted to go to.

1755
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:25,000
Mahala, thank you so much.

1756
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:27,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1757
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:29,000
Daniel Coffinger.

1758
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Jaffrey Blue Crawley.

1759
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Thank you, please stay tuned for the rent.

1760
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:40,000
Good morning, Madam Chair.

1761
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:41,000
Members of the board.

1762
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:43,000
My name is Daniel Coffinger.

1763
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:48,000
I serve as the director of business services for the Alhambra Elementary School District.

1764
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:53,000
I'm speaking regarding the district's request to the county superintendent.

1765
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:57,000
And ultimately, this board of supervisors for a special cash deficit

1766
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:03,000
levy and the approximate amount of $1.8 million.

1767
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:07,000
Like every year's on a school district, Alhambra is required by law to adopt

1768
02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:11,000
its budget and approve its property tax rates using the assess property

1769
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:15,000
valuations certified by the Maricopa County assessor.

1770
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:19,000
School districts do not determine these property values.

1771
02:13:19,000 --> 02:13:23,000
We are required to rely on the property values provided by the county.

1772
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:28,000
After our budget and tax rates were approved, commercial property within our district

1773
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:33,000
that was ultimately determined to be tax exempt was removed from the tax roll.

1774
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:38,000
As a result, the district received significantly less local revenue than anticipated

1775
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:40,000
through no fault of its own.

1776
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:44,000
The deficit was not caused by overspending or poor financial management.

1777
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:48,000
The result from an unforeseen change to the property tax roll after the district

1778
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:51,000
had fulfilled all of its legal responsibilities.

1779
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Even with this unexpected loss of revenue, Alhambra continued to meet its obligations

1780
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:02,000
to nearly 10,000 students, our employees, and our community without reducing educational services

1781
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:05,000
or disrupting the learning environment.

1782
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:13,000
The legislature recognizes these situations and created a cash deficit levy process

1783
02:14:13,000 --> 02:14:15,000
and statute to provide relief.

1784
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:18,000
We appreciate the time, the thought and the thoughtful consideration

1785
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:21,000
in the county school superintendent's office, county staff,

1786
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:25,000
and this board has devoted to reviewing our requests.

1787
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:29,000
Ultimately, the request is about ensuring that our students are not disadvantaged

1788
02:14:29,000 --> 02:14:34,000
because of an unforeseen change in the property tax roll that occurred after our budget

1789
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:36,000
and had already been approved.

1790
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:40,000
We respectfully ask for your continued consideration as this request

1791
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:43,000
where it turns you for action in August.

1792
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:45,000
Thank you for your time, your service to America,

1793
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:48,000
but county and your commitment to the families we serve.

1794
02:14:48,000 --> 02:14:50,000
Thank you.

1795
02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:52,000
Madam Clerk, next speaker,

1796
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:55,000
Jeffrey, Blue Crowley, Tom Arnold.

1797
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:58,000
I guess please state your name.

1798
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:09,000
Thank you for the record. Yes, my name is Geoff Rizouan Baza, good morning members of the board. I'm here to talk about a basic issue regarding access and information.

1799
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:22,000
Because of my cross campus parking permit with ASU, I am restricted to parking in Lot 59 at the Tempe campus. I am a 100% disabled veteran student with a qualified license plate to handicap parking.

1800
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:30,000
Walking from the parking lot to my class takes about 15 minutes normally, but when I experience my physical limitations, it can take up to 30 minutes.

1801
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:37,000
To park closer to the building, I attend, I would be required to pay an additional expensive fee for accessibility parking.

1802
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:43,000
Because these barriers exist, the Metro Valley bus system is not a luxury for me, but rather a necessity.

1803
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:49,000
However, I only learned about the flash bus service because the professor had informed me of it.

1804
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:54,000
For a service that relies on ridership informing the people is not enough, which is the website and app.

1805
02:15:54,000 --> 02:16:00,000
There is a serious lack of communication to the people about the bus system.

1806
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:08,000
As the board, you oversee our regional transportation funds as well as hold a leadership seat on the Valley Metro Board.

1807
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:14,000
As Vice Chair, Madam Musco, I notice one of your priorities is transportation.

1808
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:22,000
I am not asking for costly infrastructure changes. What I am asking for is a dedicated effort to increase public awareness.

1809
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:29,000
The public transit taxpayers fund need assurance that transportation initiatives can support our community.

1810
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:37,000
If you are interested in my ideas, I would gladly speak with you about potential solutions that would not cost the county a dime.

1811
02:16:37,000 --> 02:16:39,000
Thank you.

1812
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:41,000
Thank you very much, Madam Quirk.

1813
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:43,000
Madam Chair, may I?

1814
02:16:43,000 --> 02:16:45,000
It depends. We are in public participation.

1815
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:47,000
Yes, items are not agendized.

1816
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:54,000
I do not want to directly address the speaker, but I just want to let him know that my staff is standing here in the back and he can go talk to them about his issue.

1817
02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:56,000
We would be happy to see if we can help.

1818
02:16:56,000 --> 02:16:57,000
Thank you.

1819
02:16:57,000 --> 02:16:59,000
Madam Quirk.

1820
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:02,000
Blue Crawley, Tom Arno, Andrew Ty.

1821
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:07,000
Good afternoon.

1822
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:12,000
I hope all of you are going to be cheering for the proper team in moments.

1823
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:16,000
But that's neither here nor there.

1824
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:19,000
Just six year old equity.

1825
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:23,000
That's one of the things they say they do with the funding.

1826
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:26,000
R5TA funding.

1827
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:28,000
This last year.

1828
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:30,000
Mag.

1829
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:32,000
Chair, Ren, you're a part of that.

1830
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:35,000
Are the one that control that?

1831
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:41,000
Can you show me where those funds went?

1832
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:45,000
Because what is it about?

1833
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:51,000
What percentage of the two billion dollars we're going to be collecting per year?

1834
02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:58,000
There's a $400 million that RTA got last year.

1835
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:01,000
What did they do with it?

1836
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:07,000
Did they pay for planning on the rail that they extended for the next three years?

1837
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:10,000
That's $30 million.

1838
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:13,000
Where's the single bus crowd in yours?

1839
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:14,000
Yours?

1840
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:15,000
Yours?

1841
02:18:15,000 --> 02:18:16,000
Yours?

1842
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:18,000
Yours?

1843
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:20,000
Districts?

1844
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:22,000
Any of them upgraded?

1845
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:27,000
Did we get more buses?

1846
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:30,000
How about bus stops and curb cuts?

1847
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:36,000
Where are each one of your districts doing about that?

1848
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:40,000
Where is the plan?

1849
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:46,000
If a major arterial can take 30,000 vehicles,

1850
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:52,000
how many buses are we putting there to alleviate part of that?

1851
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:56,000
Well, you need to get yourselves putting together a plan.

1852
02:18:56,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Each one of your districts getting the different cities and that so that we can say,

1853
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:07,000
this is where you need to spend the money because as I asked a moment ago,

1854
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:09,000
where'd you spend it?

1855
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:12,000
Each of your districts are the major.

1856
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:15,000
Thank you, folks.

1857
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:17,000
Madam Clerk.

1858
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:18,000
Tom Arnold.

1859
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:20,000
Andrew Ty.

1860
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:22,000
Veronica Kolkoren.

1861
02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:29,000
Welcome.

1862
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:30,000
Hi.

1863
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:31,000
Tom Arnold.

1864
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:34,000
The last board meeting I attended.

1865
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:43,000
I made some mention that I wanted to do an email to Mr. Galardo and to Mr. Galvan,

1866
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:49,000
because you two were the only ones on the board at the time.

1867
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:52,000
That I have a date that I was given.

1868
02:19:52,000 --> 02:19:56,000
December 10th, 2024, where there was a meeting.

1869
02:19:56,000 --> 02:20:04,000
I've been told between the board at that time and the outgoing recorder.

1870
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:11,000
And I don't remember who I heard it from was whether it was one of our people

1871
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:20,000
who I believe are wanting to make not just America great again,

1872
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:24,000
but how about Maricopa County, how about the city of Phoenix.

1873
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:31,000
So I don't remember who I heard it from, but my understanding was in that meeting between the board

1874
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:36,000
and the outgoing recorder.

1875
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:46,000
There were funds cut from staffing and funds cut from IT.

1876
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:52,000
So the email that I wanted to send to you, Mr. Galardo, on you, Mr. Gates.

1877
02:20:52,000 --> 02:20:53,000
I'm sorry.

1878
02:20:53,000 --> 02:20:58,000
Mr. Galvan was to get, I've heard one side of the story.

1879
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:04,000
I'd like to hear from you whether that meeting did occur.

1880
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:21,000
And what was discussed in that meeting that were there things taking away from the current recorder.

1881
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:26,000
And I wish I had time. I went on the internet and found out duties of the recorder.

1882
02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:31,000
I'd like to know if those duties were before or after that meeting.

1883
02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:33,000
Well, thank you, sir.

1884
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:40,000
Madam Clerk, Andrew Ty, Veronica Colcoran, Leslie Shepherd.

1885
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:44,000
Hi, my name is Andrew Thomas Ty.

1886
02:21:44,000 --> 02:21:56,000
I'm here today to discuss and possibly take a look at the board's track record on dealing and dispersing certain funds.

1887
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:01,000
I've been here for quite a few months.

1888
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:04,000
I've come to every meeting at the last meeting.

1889
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:08,000
Debute of the Oscar called me a communist.

1890
02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:14,000
My mother, my mother told me sticks and stones break your bones, but words will never hurt you.

1891
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:17,000
So I don't hold that against you. It didn't bother me.

1892
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:19,000
Sir, I don't remember ever seeing that.

1893
02:22:19,000 --> 02:22:27,000
Okay. Well, I have memory lapses too. I mean, it's common in human beings.

1894
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:43,000
So basically what I wanted to talk about in the audit that you guys had where Maricopa County was overseeing the federal funds that were given out as benefits to needy citizens of Maricopa County.

1895
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:49,000
I understand that they pulled 25 files out of that randomly to check them.

1896
02:22:49,000 --> 02:22:54,000
And you guys are batting 100%. You must be on the right track.

1897
02:22:54,000 --> 02:23:02,000
But the only thing is those all 25 files that were pulled zero of them were completed properly.

1898
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:07,000
But you gave the funds out anyway.

1899
02:23:08,000 --> 02:23:14,000
As a realtor, dealing with federal money, FHA loans.

1900
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:19,000
If the file's not complete, the bar doesn't get the money.

1901
02:23:19,000 --> 02:23:22,000
Their file goes in a separate pile.

1902
02:23:22,000 --> 02:23:27,000
When they bring that piece missing piece in, that's when they get their loan.

1903
02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:33,000
So I've been up here talking to you for months about fraud.

1904
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:38,000
Really, when I'm going to start talking about is your track record, how you're doing.

1905
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:44,000
But you guys need to just change your way and do what's right after you have a good afternoon.

1906
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:46,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1907
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:51,000
Veronica Coker and let's see Shepherd Roger May.

1908
02:23:56,000 --> 02:23:59,000
Thank you, Madam Board Chair.

1909
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:08,000
In the importance of election integrity, I want to remind us that we humans are carefully and carefully made in God's image.

1910
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:13,000
We have a spirit that our last of all brothers, animals and plants don't have.

1911
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:16,000
Our ballots are almost secretly undocumented.

1912
02:24:16,000 --> 02:24:20,000
Many of my Republican neighbors didn't receive their early ballot.

1913
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:28,000
Even if it shows on the side that it was mailed, we need to stop mailing ballot to restore voter voting back to precinct level.

1914
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:30,000
I believe you must let's go.

1915
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:32,000
People dropping ballots on election day is reckless.

1916
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:34,000
What is the price of our life?

1917
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:38,000
Would you drop 1 million or 10 million in a box or send it by mail?

1918
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:42,000
The way we are voting now, it shows how poorly we love and respect ourselves.

1919
02:24:42,000 --> 02:24:44,000
What is the price of our life?

1920
02:24:44,000 --> 02:24:48,000
It's good that we trust but we cannot trust the corporation.

1921
02:24:48,000 --> 02:24:51,000
A national average principle is about 1,000 voters.

1922
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:56,000
And even if it was 3,000, hand counting is proven to be fast, cheapest and most secure.

1923
02:24:56,000 --> 02:25:03,000
Let us not act like our medical system that often act bureaucratic, heartless and a longer holistic.

1924
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:06,000
Let's have holistic voting, if nothing else.

1925
02:25:06,000 --> 02:25:12,000
I'm concerned for the continuation of blessing of our nation for our grandchildren,

1926
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:19,000
God bless our nation because so many fathers who came here put God first.

1927
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:25,000
We need a told, we were told lies that the medical zealwood Wilson,

1928
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:29,000
who was a democrat president, removed black history from our history books,

1929
02:25:29,000 --> 02:25:32,000
because democrats cannot exist without slavery.

1930
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:38,000
First blacks and now illegal, please watch Kirk Cameron movie Monumental.

1931
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:40,000
It's about American black history.

1932
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:43,000
Thank you.

1933
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:45,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1934
02:25:46,000 --> 02:25:50,000
Lastly, shepherd, Roger May, the card right.

1935
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:01,000
Did Jeremy leave?

1936
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:06,000
Jeremy's is no I appreciate you.

1937
02:26:06,000 --> 02:26:10,000
All right, October 22nd of 2025,

1938
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:18,000
It was asked about what you guys were doing to get the inappropriate content out of the minors department.

1939
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:23,000
And then it was deferred over the county manager who said that it's been moved over to the adult sections,

1940
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:28,000
or at least the juvenile health.

1941
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:32,000
I sent you guys all any email.

1942
02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:38,000
And in the email, it's less than 30 minutes, these are professionals, the top of their field.

1943
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:43,000
And they're going into details about what they see scientifically now,

1944
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:48,000
regarding the effects of inappropriate content to children,

1945
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:52,000
and how it carries over and they cannot remove that from their mind.

1946
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:57,000
The neural plasticity in their brain, it takes and absorbs in those images,

1947
02:26:57,000 --> 02:27:00,000
or in that content, and it doesn't leave.

1948
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:03,000
It affects them into their adult hood.

1949
02:27:04,000 --> 02:27:11,000
I'm asking you guys to please take the time and look at the video, watch it.

1950
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:14,000
Because you're going to be held accountable for it.

1951
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:18,000
You guys, again, I'm going to say it, you're the godfather of this.

1952
02:27:18,000 --> 02:27:25,000
You guys make the decisions, you're the library, district, or the library, whatever it is when you switch over and you,

1953
02:27:25,000 --> 02:27:28,000
like someone's like veggie tells you guys switch it around.

1954
02:27:28,000 --> 02:27:30,000
Okay, now we're the library district.

1955
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:34,000
So I'm just saying that you guys, I'm asking you to please take a look at these at this,

1956
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:39,000
because we did go to the libraries in December and we went in May.

1957
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:45,000
And I can't emphasize enough how sweet the people are that work there, how professional they are.

1958
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:47,000
You'll never hear me complain about the libraries.

1959
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:52,000
The problem I have or the people who are helping to make the policies and funding this inappropriate content

1960
02:27:52,000 --> 02:27:56,000
and not relabeling these books for these children, that's my problem.

1961
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:59,000
I'm hoping that you guys will now make the right shape.

1962
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:02,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1963
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:06,000
Roger May, the card right, Lori Baroni.

1964
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:11,000
My name is Roger May.

1965
02:28:11,000 --> 02:28:16,000
Today we're here because constitutional rights belong to every person in Maricopa County.

1966
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:21,000
Fourth amendment protects the people from unreasonable searches and seizures.

1967
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:24,000
Arizona Constitution goes even further.

1968
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:33,000
There are Article 2 Section 8 states, no person shall be disturbed in his private affairs or his home invaded without authority or law.

1969
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:38,000
These protections exist for ordinary law-biting citizens.

1970
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:42,000
On my drive here, my rights were violated many times.

1971
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:45,000
As you know, I drive an hour and a half each way.

1972
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:51,000
I'm going to go pass through the same cameras I passed on the way here on my way home.

1973
02:28:51,000 --> 02:29:00,000
So, let's compare those constitutional protections with the capabilities that flock safety itself publicly declares.

1974
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:03,000
Flock's own website declares.

1975
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:06,000
We are not describing flock safety.

1976
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:09,000
Flock's safety is describing itself.

1977
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:12,000
According to its own published materials,

1978
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:17,000
quote, its technologies operate on a nationwide scale.

1979
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:30,000
Processes enormous amounts of license plate information and provides participating agencies with powerful search and information sharing capabilities.

1980
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:31,000
Boarding.

1981
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:38,000
So far, you are showing yourself to be unwise to continue forcing the courts to force you to comply.

1982
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:46,000
It would be wise if you don't continue in what the Arizona Superior Court accuses you of which is power grabbing

1983
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:48,000
Gamesmanship and shenanigans.

1984
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:54,000
Stop your unlawful and unconstitutional disturbance of our privacy.

1985
02:29:54,000 --> 02:29:58,000
In closing, please move this meeting to

1986
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:10,000
Evenings are Saturday, so that 80% of your constituents can't make it. I don't know if you like it that way or not. People before dogs.

1987
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk. The card right, Lori Barone, Joe Hoff.

1988
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:27,000
Hi, I'm Leah Cartwright, and I work in constitutional law supporting families that have had their children take in through child protective services illegally.

1989
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:36,000
Every single state across this nation is violating our constitutional rights as parents and advocates for the families.

1990
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:48,000
Every time that we're in court, there's always something that's going wrong that we are being asked to ADA advocates are being taken out and not able to stand up.

1991
02:30:48,000 --> 02:31:00,000
I have been removed from court rooms as an advocate for families. The heinous crimes that are happening against our constituents across this country are out of control.

1992
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:06,000
And the state is not helping any of the families that are dealing with child protective services.

1993
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:21,000
I work in ad hoc meetings with Senator Finchum and Rachel Keschel. I sit in all of the ad hoc meetings as we are holding our child protective services accountable in this state.

1994
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:31,000
I would ask this board if you would reevaluate many of the things that go on in the state that are not in favor of the constituents and the filing fees.

1995
02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:40,000
The requirements that families have to do to jump through a million hoops. It ends up being crepting the families. It causes severe trauma.

1996
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:46,000
Every single person has PTSD. If your children have been taken from the state for any reason.

1997
02:31:46,000 --> 02:31:57,000
Unfortunately, you now have PTSD and are able to have an ADA advocate for you. This board has not done any justice to the families in the state of Arizona.

1998
02:31:57,000 --> 02:32:04,000
And you will be held accountable for the disgusting behavior of you're allowing all of this to happen across this state.

1999
02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:14,000
So I would implore every one of you to check your heart and get before God because God's going to hold you all accountable for the heinous crimes against our family.

2000
02:32:14,000 --> 02:32:15,000
Thank you.

2001
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:17,000
Oh, you're welcome.

2002
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:18,000
Madam Clerk.

2003
02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:22,000
Lori Peroni, Joe Hoff, Caitlyn Conteras.

2004
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:36,000
Okay.

2005
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:39,000
My name is Lori Peroni, as you all know.

2006
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:48,000
I'm here to put you on formal notice that notice to principal is noticed to agent and notice to agent is noticed to principal.

2007
02:32:48,000 --> 02:33:07,000
Board. I'm here to put you on notice that Leslie Shepherd and myself have both suffered assaults inside this building and that we are here to request our public records request seeking limited surveillance footage from the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors facility.

2008
02:33:07,000 --> 02:33:14,000
Despite repeated request the footage continues to be withheld based on asserted security concerns.

2009
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:31,000
And the footage we're seeking is regarding assaults that we both have experienced inside this building and you know we should never have to be in jeopardy or in fear for our safety when we walk in this building to express our constitutional rights.

2010
02:33:32,000 --> 02:34:00,000
We've between the two of us, there are more than nine PRR requests that are being denied and I'm here to put you on notice that we request that you identify the specific legal authority and exemption or exemption is supporting the difference treatments of the present requests and provide formal responses to each PRR, including any basis for denial or partial production.

2011
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:06,000
And pursuant to ARS 391121, 391121.0139.12102.

2012
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:22,000
Maricopa County is here by placed on notice to preserve all records related to these requests, including surveillance records, files, metadata, communications, retention records and documents concerning any decisions or denial of those that footage.

2013
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:28,000
Because you know, not giving us that information is going to have legal consequences likely.

2014
02:34:28,000 --> 02:34:33,000
The authority relied upon which with that you would help.

2015
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:35,000
Thank you.

2016
02:34:35,000 --> 02:34:36,000
Madam Clerk.

2017
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:37,000
Joe Hop.

2018
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:39,000
Kate Lynn Contreras.

2019
02:34:43,000 --> 02:34:45,000
Excuse me.

2020
02:34:49,000 --> 02:34:51,000
Madam Clerk.

2021
02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:53,000
Joe Hop.

2022
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:03,000
Hello.

2023
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:20,000
Before the public reaches call to the public at agenda item 124, there are 123 agenda items before citizens have the opportunity to address the board on matters, not otherwise listed on today's agenda.

2024
02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:36,000
Agenda item 24 through 100 remain within the consent agenda totaling 77 consent items that are scheduled to be approved through a single vote on less remove for separate discussion.

2025
02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:44,000
As I reviewed the supporting documents, I found a multimillion dollar financial commitments long term contracts.

2026
02:35:44,000 --> 02:36:00,000
Police financing exceeding 46 million technology agreements, construction amendments, transportation projects, correctional services, grants, election related expenditures and other significant county actions.

2027
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:05,000
I would also add one sentence acknowledging the agenda expansion.

2028
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:13,000
Since the agenda was later expanded, call to the public now appears as agenda item 124.

2029
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:23,000
Further illustrating how much county businesses scheduled before the public even reaches its general opportunity to address the board.

2030
02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:39,000
And in closing let me say that in recent months I want to talk a little bit about by oven for the people and in recent months I voted to hire just in heap.

2031
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:50,000
I was joined by 984,866 other fellow Arizona's called the people.

2032
02:36:51,000 --> 02:36:58,000
He has a job to do, you have a job to do so stand back and let him do his job.

2033
02:36:58,000 --> 02:37:02,000
There's also another group that feels the way I do too.

2034
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:03,000
Your call to call.

2035
02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:04,000
Thank you.

2036
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:05,000
Your course.

2037
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:09,000
Madam clerk, last speaker, Caitlin Contreras.

2038
02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:15,000
Welcome, please state your name for the record.

2039
02:37:15,000 --> 02:37:17,000
Chair members of the board.

2040
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:19,000
My name is Caitlin Contreras with the ACLU of Arizona.

2041
02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:29,000
I'm here to urge the board to demand transparency from recorder heap with respect to election administration as well as hold them accountable for the spread of election related disinformation.

2042
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:35,000
Recorder heap has a duty to administer free and fair elections free of partisan bias that adhere to the laws of our state.

2043
02:37:35,000 --> 02:37:41,000
Unfortunately thus far, recorder heaps actions do not reflect commitment to that essential duty.

2044
02:37:41,000 --> 02:37:47,000
Now with recorder heap being allotted an IT department equipped with new staff in over $20 million in funding.

2045
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:53,000
It's imperative that recorder heap reveal his plan to administer the 2026 general election as soon as possible.

2046
02:37:53,000 --> 02:38:01,000
And detail how why and if his plan deviates from longstanding practices that have resulted in safe secure and fair elections in Maricopa County.

2047
02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:09,000
Election administration at Maricopa County scale requires institutional integration, not fragmentation and partisan fighting.

2048
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:16,000
The recorder heaps continued attempts to play politics and take more power for himself is a threat to free into democratic elections in Arizona.

2049
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:19,000
And in the end it's the voters that lose.

2050
02:38:19,000 --> 02:38:25,000
The board has a vested duty to ensure the recorder heaps is transparent in administration elections.

2051
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:35,000
Under ARS section 11-253A, the board may require accounting officer to make reports under oath on any matter connected to the duties of his office.

2052
02:38:35,000 --> 02:38:43,000
Recorder heaps actions have made harder for voters to cast ballots and ensure that their ballots are counted.

2053
02:38:43,000 --> 02:38:51,000
Voters deserve better, which is why the board must continue to call for recorder heaps to be forthcoming and transparent with election plans and policies.

2054
02:38:51,000 --> 02:38:58,000
And for these reasons, the ACLU of Arizona are just Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to hold recorder heaps accountable.

2055
02:38:58,000 --> 02:39:00,000
Thank you.

2056
02:39:00,000 --> 02:39:03,000
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

2057
02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:05,000
Madam Chair, I do not have any more speaker forms.

2058
02:39:05,000 --> 02:39:09,000
Thank you, that concludes the public comment portion of the agenda.

2059
02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:19,000
We will move on to supervisors, summary of current events, asking Madam County manager first if she has any comments.

2060
02:39:19,000 --> 02:39:21,000
Madam Chair, I do have a comment today.

2061
02:39:21,000 --> 02:39:26,000
I would like to recognize Tom Ellsworth, who is our planning and development director.

2062
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:29,000
This is Tom's last board meeting.

2063
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:34,000
Tom is sadly leaving us and retiring and moving back east.

2064
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:40,000
And I just wanted to recognize that he has just done a tremendous job for the county.

2065
02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:46,000
He is an excellent planner, a terrific leader and just an all-around great guy.

2066
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:53,000
And it's a big loss for the county for Tom to leave and I wish him the best.

2067
02:39:53,000 --> 02:40:20,000
So much for flying under the radar, but she did pretty good up to now.

2068
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:24,000
The supervisor Stewart comments?

2069
02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:29,000
None for me today, other than I want to congratulate on his.

2070
02:40:29,000 --> 02:40:33,000
On his move and I couldn't agree with county manager more.

2071
02:40:33,000 --> 02:40:36,000
He's a tremendous asset to the county and he will be sorely missed.

2072
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:40,000
And we wish him the very best of his future endeavors.

2073
02:40:40,000 --> 02:40:42,000
Thanks Tom.

2074
02:40:42,000 --> 02:40:45,000
Thank you, supervisor.

2075
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:48,000
Thank you, Madam Chair, I was going to say anything as well.

2076
02:40:48,000 --> 02:40:53,000
But now that we're saying our thoughts with Tom.

2077
02:40:53,000 --> 02:41:00,000
You know, a lot of these issues, particularly when it comes to planning and zoning.

2078
02:41:00,000 --> 02:41:02,000
It gets complicated.

2079
02:41:02,000 --> 02:41:05,000
It gets, it gets, it gets, it gets difficult sometimes.

2080
02:41:05,000 --> 02:41:11,000
So we rely on our experts here at the county to kind of help navigate us.

2081
02:41:11,000 --> 02:41:15,000
But, you know, we're trying to look at our neighborhood concerns.

2082
02:41:15,000 --> 02:41:18,000
And we want to do the right thing.

2083
02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:20,000
But I just want to say thank you.

2084
02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:26,000
You've been a tremendous asset for district five and helping us on so many different projects.

2085
02:41:26,000 --> 02:41:28,000
And just understanding that.

2086
02:41:28,000 --> 02:41:32,000
You know, it's, you know, for someone who comes from a legislature.

2087
02:41:32,000 --> 02:41:34,000
You know, we don't deal with planning and zoning stuff.

2088
02:41:34,000 --> 02:41:39,000
So thank you so much for helping us for so many projects.

2089
02:41:39,000 --> 02:41:41,000
And just wish you the best.

2090
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:42,000
Thank you.

2091
02:41:42,000 --> 02:41:44,000
Thank you, supervisor.

2092
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:45,000
Got them.

2093
02:41:45,000 --> 02:41:47,000
Tom, we're going to miss you.

2094
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:51,000
Thank you so much, not just for your service to the county, but your considerable career.

2095
02:41:51,000 --> 02:41:55,000
And I had to good fortune of interacting with you before I joined the county.

2096
02:41:55,000 --> 02:41:58,000
It became a supervisor and all respects that I have dealt with you.

2097
02:41:58,000 --> 02:42:01,000
You've been nothing but above board and professional.

2098
02:42:01,000 --> 02:42:05,000
I also know that it's really hard in leadership positions and government.

2099
02:42:05,000 --> 02:42:06,000
There's a lot of decisions you have to make.

2100
02:42:06,000 --> 02:42:09,000
But a lot of times you have elected officials looking over your shoulder.

2101
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:11,000
But you've been fantastic.

2102
02:42:11,000 --> 02:42:14,000
You've been a great public servant in the true sense of the word.

2103
02:42:14,000 --> 02:42:17,000
And you're leaving behind a great legacy and a great department.

2104
02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:19,000
That is the envy of the state.

2105
02:42:19,000 --> 02:42:20,000
So thank you for everything.

2106
02:42:20,000 --> 02:42:22,000
And don't be a stranger.

2107
02:42:22,000 --> 02:42:23,000
Thank you.

2108
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:25,000
Vice chair, let's go.

2109
02:42:25,000 --> 02:42:27,000
Thank you, madam chair.

2110
02:42:27,000 --> 02:42:29,000
I'm just so grateful that.

2111
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:35,000
Recorder heap and the Board of Supervisors reached an agreement, a settlement agreement.

2112
02:42:35,000 --> 02:42:41,000
So that we can run the elections smoothly, efficiently and fairly.

2113
02:42:41,000 --> 02:42:47,000
I, this has been a long process for over a year and a half.

2114
02:42:47,000 --> 02:42:53,000
And just in heap, signed the settlement and we are moving forward.

2115
02:42:53,000 --> 02:42:56,000
I also want to say congratulations to you, Tom.

2116
02:42:56,000 --> 02:42:59,000
And thank you for all your help in the cases.

2117
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:04,000
Most of the planning and zoning cases are in my district because it's a high-growth area.

2118
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:09,000
And you've been very helpful for so best wishes in your future.

2119
02:43:09,000 --> 02:43:17,000
I also want to congratulate and show my appreciation to Brigadier General David Berklin.

2120
02:43:17,000 --> 02:43:20,000
He is going to be retiring.

2121
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:26,000
And he started at Luke Air Force Base in 2024.

2122
02:43:26,000 --> 02:43:30,000
And he will be serving through July 17th.

2123
02:43:30,000 --> 02:43:33,000
I think it is in 2026.

2124
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:39,000
He is a man dedicated to our nation dedicated to protecting our nation.

2125
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:42,000
And so thank you, General Berklin.

2126
02:43:42,000 --> 02:43:47,000
I also want to share with the public that I went to the Melendrous Court hearing.

2127
02:43:47,000 --> 02:43:50,000
This is the federal oversight of the Sheriff's Department.

2128
02:43:50,000 --> 02:43:53,000
It's been going on for many, many years.

2129
02:43:53,000 --> 02:43:58,000
And it's costing Mericopa taxpayers millions and millions of dollars.

2130
02:43:58,000 --> 02:44:03,000
I am advocating that the oversight is no longer necessary and needs to stop.

2131
02:44:03,000 --> 02:44:11,000
I hope that Judge Snell will agree with the Board of Supervisors that it is time to end the federal oversight.

2132
02:44:11,000 --> 02:44:13,000
It is no longer needed.

2133
02:44:13,000 --> 02:44:18,000
I also want to say thank you to Sun City.

2134
02:44:18,000 --> 02:44:24,000
So I went to the Ring of that Bell celebration on July 4th in Sun City.

2135
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:27,000
They have a very patriotic event.

2136
02:44:27,000 --> 02:44:36,000
And they have a replica of the Liberty Bell that was made from metal donations from Sun City residents.

2137
02:44:36,000 --> 02:44:44,000
And this November, they are going to be opening up the time capsule that was put underneath this Liberty Bell.

2138
02:44:44,000 --> 02:44:47,000
But we had Rosie the riveters.

2139
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:55,000
We had a lady there that I believe was over 100 years old that during World War II,

2140
02:44:55,000 --> 02:44:59,000
she served as a Rosie the riveter and helped her.

2141
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:07,000
Our economy going, and we had the Sun City palms dancing, and it was a good celebration for America's

2142
02:45:07,000 --> 02:45:12,000
250th birthday. And with that, Madam Chair, I yield back.

2143
02:45:12,000 --> 02:45:26,000
Thank you, Mr. Ellsworth. When I was on the school board, the hardest time of every year was when the teachers retired.

2144
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:30,000
First of all, you couldn't believe that they were old enough to retire.

2145
02:45:30,000 --> 02:45:38,000
And the second of all, it was just such a loss. Very, very bitter sweet.

2146
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:47,000
But happy for them. Just happy for them. And I, so I don't respond well to change in that sense.

2147
02:45:47,000 --> 02:45:54,000
But I am so, so grateful prior to assuming the role of supervisor that I had the opportunity

2148
02:45:54,000 --> 02:46:02,000
to spend two and a half years on the planning and zoning commission, starting with Madam County manager

2149
02:46:02,000 --> 02:46:08,000
and then transitioning over to use her with Darren.

2150
02:46:08,000 --> 02:46:16,000
As my handler, right straight along, it is the best training that I could possibly

2151
02:46:16,000 --> 02:46:23,000
have, the best introduction to county government because it's so unique and it's so different.

2152
02:46:23,000 --> 02:46:32,000
I've been in lots of different types of local government. Nothing like this.

2153
02:46:32,000 --> 02:46:42,000
I am very, very sorry that you're leaving. I know you and your family took a very long time

2154
02:46:42,000 --> 02:46:48,000
to make that decision. And you made it in your hearts and with God.

2155
02:46:48,000 --> 02:46:56,000
And with decisions where good things happen, there's sometimes hard things and sad things.

2156
02:46:56,000 --> 02:47:02,000
But I never doubt your decision, even though I complain about it.

2157
02:47:02,000 --> 02:47:07,000
You can go forward.

2158
02:47:07,000 --> 02:47:12,000
Understanding and believing in your heart that you have left a legacy here.

2159
02:47:12,000 --> 02:47:17,000
I can speak to Maricopa County. I can speak to the other positions that you have helped.

2160
02:47:17,000 --> 02:47:25,000
But you have left a legacy here in Maricopa County that will be remembered long after you have gone.

2161
02:47:25,000 --> 02:47:31,000
And you can look back and say, I did some really good things.

2162
02:47:31,000 --> 02:47:37,000
And officially from now we will start calling my carefree corridor commercial.

2163
02:47:37,000 --> 02:47:42,000
We will call it the Ellsworth policy.

2164
02:47:42,000 --> 02:47:47,000
Tom, thank you so much. You've been a delight.

2165
02:47:47,000 --> 02:47:53,000
There being no further business before the board this meeting is adjourned.
