1
00:00:02,375 --> 00:00:06,305
Okay, we're gonna go ahead and get started.

2
00:00:06,725 --> 00:00:10,665
thanks for being here with us today, everyone. Um, we're gonna

3
00:00:10,745 --> 00:00:14,355
go ahead and get started with a, uh, a prayer and a pledge before we do, supervisor

4
00:00:15,235 --> 00:00:19,145
pesca is with us. He's with us virtually though, uh, today. So I'm gonna go

5
00:00:19,305 --> 00:00:23,145
ahead and start us with the prayer and the pledge and then we'll move on after that.

6
00:00:23,765 --> 00:00:25,265
so, if you all please join me.

7
00:00:31,605 --> 00:00:35,195
our eternal father in heaven, we're grateful for the opportunity that we have to be gathered here together this day. We're

8
00:00:35,705 --> 00:00:39,625
grateful for the land that we live in, for the freedoms that we enjoy and for the people we

9
00:00:39,905 --> 00:00:43,825
have a chance to represent and serve. We're grateful for the opportunity

10
00:00:44,225 --> 00:00:48,225
that we have to be here today. We're grateful for the great people that are in our communities. Bless us

11
00:00:48,425 --> 00:00:52,085
as we go throughout this meeting that we'll be able to have clarity in mind, to be able to listen to

12
00:00:53,035 --> 00:00:57,025
items that are presented, to be able to take into consideration how we can

13
00:00:57,105 --> 00:01:00,995
best serve the citizens that we represent within the laws that we have. Bless

14
00:01:01,345 --> 00:01:05,345
us to be mindful of thee as we go throughout this meeting. Bless us to look for ways to be able to

15
00:01:07,185 --> 00:01:11,155
help build up our communities, to strengthen them, to be positive and uplifting, to

16
00:01:11,355 --> 00:01:15,155
look for ways to unify us and to come together in alignment with the in life spirit.

17
00:01:15,885 --> 00:01:19,635
watch over our lands and protect them. Bless 'em with moisture, and bless those that are struggling

18
00:01:20,035 --> 00:01:23,995
at this time, that neighbors and people within our communities will open their

19
00:01:24,195 --> 00:01:28,055
hearts and look for ways to serve those that stand in need, that we'll look for opportunities to

20
00:01:28,325 --> 00:01:32,315
unite in our communities rather than divide and bless us that we'll look for opportunities to be able

21
00:01:32,435 --> 00:01:35,915
to come together. And thy holy spirit, we pray

22
00:01:36,975 --> 00:01:39,105
in the name of my son jesus christ. Amen. Amen.

23
00:01:41,925 --> 00:01:45,855
ready pledge. I pledge your of the flag of

24
00:01:46,095 --> 00:01:49,915
the united states of america and to the republic for which it

25
00:01:50,115 --> 00:01:53,445
stands. One nation under god, invis

26
00:01:54,185 --> 00:01:54,795
with ation.

27
00:02:00,585 --> 00:02:04,395
alright, thanks everybody for being here with us today. We'll go on to the first item, which

28
00:02:04,675 --> 00:02:05,355
is called the public.

29
00:02:20,535 --> 00:02:21,795
we have a number of 'em here.

30
00:02:39,685 --> 00:02:42,635
sorry, trying to separate these so I can get 'em into the groupings here real quick.

31
00:02:44,625 --> 00:02:48,475
okay. There's quite a few here. Um, I don't know, there's one that says

32
00:02:49,665 --> 00:02:53,215
answers. It's not that one. I'm not sure what that means. But, um,

33
00:02:54,175 --> 00:02:58,075
we have the rest on elections. So here I'm gonna, I'm gonna share

34
00:02:58,315 --> 00:03:02,205
this real quick one. We reached out to the

35
00:03:02,325 --> 00:03:06,205
county as a whole and said, hey, we'd love to hear your questions about elections. We wanna

36
00:03:06,405 --> 00:03:10,285
make sure that those are addressed. That's something that we get a chance to be able to talk about. And so

37
00:03:10,465 --> 00:03:14,045
we got in quite a few questions that people had and they made sure we did a presentation

38
00:03:14,775 --> 00:03:18,725
where the board got to try and hear the answers around that. Um, there

39
00:03:19,005 --> 00:03:23,005
were bells that came that day that also wanted to speak and repeat

40
00:03:23,395 --> 00:03:27,105
what was already said in those. Here's

41
00:03:27,525 --> 00:03:29,965
what's gonna happen today. I've got quite a few of 'em that are here

42
00:03:31,755 --> 00:03:35,685
that are asking. We've already heard. And as you

43
00:03:35,805 --> 00:03:39,365
know, on call to the public, the board can't respond to call to the public.

44
00:03:40,185 --> 00:03:44,005
so you're coming here to be able to go ahead and share new information.

45
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:48,335
if there's something new that you have to share that we have not already heard,

46
00:03:49,675 --> 00:03:53,445
then by all means we'd love to be able to hear it. Okay? If it's something

47
00:03:53,765 --> 00:03:57,725
that we've already heard will dismiss you. 'cause we've already

48
00:03:57,885 --> 00:04:01,765
heard it and we're already still in conversation and had multiple

49
00:04:01,965 --> 00:04:05,885
conversations even since our last meeting with many of you. So the door's open,

50
00:04:06,375 --> 00:04:10,165
we're willing to have the conversation. This isn't the right form if we've already heard it

51
00:04:10,395 --> 00:04:14,115
here in this form to do that. Not right now. Not call

52
00:04:14,405 --> 00:04:18,325
the public because we can't respond to you inside of that. So, of these,

53
00:04:20,145 --> 00:04:24,005
I'm gonna first start with whoever wrote down answers. 'cause I'm not sure what that is, if

54
00:04:24,205 --> 00:04:28,165
that's called to the public or if that's on elections or not. With the rest of them, the question's

55
00:04:28,365 --> 00:04:31,885
going to be, do you have something new to share with us?

56
00:04:32,745 --> 00:04:36,605
and if you do have something new, by all means would love to hear that. If you

57
00:04:36,975 --> 00:04:40,825
don't, then you know, so

58
00:04:41,205 --> 00:04:45,045
I can read off your name. You can tell me if you have something new to share or not. If you don't, then by

59
00:04:45,245 --> 00:04:49,165
all means, we're just gonna move past that one. If you do have something new to share, we'd love to hear

60
00:04:49,285 --> 00:04:52,785
from you. It'll be three minutes. So the first one is

61
00:04:54,635 --> 00:04:56,075
answers. Mark thomas.

62
00:04:59,315 --> 00:05:03,225
mark. The question is, is this election? Yes. Okay. Is it new? Yes.

63
00:05:03,835 --> 00:05:07,565
okay. You have three minutes. Thank you. And if it's not new, then we'll dismiss

64
00:05:07,885 --> 00:05:11,405
you. Mark thomas. Uh, I think I wrote my address down wrong. 58 71

65
00:05:12,565 --> 00:05:16,565
bobcat drive. Um, got it. The last,

66
00:05:17,105 --> 00:05:21,085
uh, the last meeting that we had, the presentation for the

67
00:05:21,205 --> 00:05:24,795
most part, um, pretty much by the book, what

68
00:05:25,315 --> 00:05:29,285
exactly you would think should happen, but what you know as a

69
00:05:29,405 --> 00:05:33,225
reality, that's not what is taking place. There's a lot of things that are, are,

70
00:05:33,505 --> 00:05:35,945
are, are falling through the cracks. The, um,

71
00:05:37,985 --> 00:05:41,645
the 95%, 99% of that meeting was about day of elections.

72
00:05:42,435 --> 00:05:46,235
zero. Hardly anything about mail-in ballots, that

73
00:05:46,525 --> 00:05:50,405
is a mess. Um, there's just how many, how many?

74
00:05:50,625 --> 00:05:53,925
here's a, here's some questions. How many are being, how many ballots are being printed?

75
00:05:54,705 --> 00:05:58,705
how many are being sent out? How many are being returned? These are all things nobody

76
00:05:59,295 --> 00:06:02,945
knows. Uh, it, it's, it's sloppy. And,

77
00:06:03,305 --> 00:06:07,285
uh, it appears the county knows

78
00:06:07,605 --> 00:06:10,965
little about the process of the co cost of hand counting ballots. An estimated

79
00:06:11,665 --> 00:06:15,565
1.1 million was mentioned during the county personnel from the county personnel.

80
00:06:16,425 --> 00:06:20,165
if you'd asked, we could demonstrate how a hand count could have occurred in 65,000 voters

81
00:06:20,745 --> 00:06:24,525
for about $300,000 or less. Also, the situation mohammed

82
00:06:25,045 --> 00:06:28,595
county was incorrectly addressed in last month's presentation. Moca

83
00:06:29,065 --> 00:06:32,965
mojave county had chosen to hand count, uh, but the attorney general, chris

84
00:06:33,395 --> 00:06:37,325
mays and secretary of state, uh, adrian fontes threatened

85
00:06:37,885 --> 00:06:41,845
criminal charges and fines. The arizona legislator is currently seeking a

86
00:06:42,005 --> 00:06:45,965
c of the ag as she has no legal standing to do so. She misled the

87
00:06:46,165 --> 00:06:50,085
county, or better yet scared them into, uh, scared them when there,

88
00:06:50,335 --> 00:06:54,225
there is no legislation or language that a county cannot choose or

89
00:06:54,445 --> 00:06:58,305
hand count. A county has every right to do the will of its people. The

90
00:06:58,525 --> 00:07:02,205
state has the, does not have the right to impede on that. The same illegal

91
00:07:02,715 --> 00:07:06,715
shenanigans occurred in cochise county as well. You supervisors took

92
00:07:07,045 --> 00:07:10,525
a loyal oath of office and have the duty to stand up for the people. And we demand

93
00:07:11,125 --> 00:07:14,845
that you uphold your oath, sir, new information. Was there anything new that you wanted to share?

94
00:07:15,425 --> 00:07:19,265
you have the right to take control of the, sir, what, do

95
00:07:19,485 --> 00:07:23,445
you have any new information? You have the right to take control of this county's

96
00:07:24,075 --> 00:07:26,965
okay. Thank you. Election. And you have the right new information.

97
00:07:29,065 --> 00:07:33,045
the how is it that the voter rolls, which we don't

98
00:07:33,285 --> 00:07:37,285
have control of, and every time I ask questions about this, nobody knows how or why

99
00:07:37,445 --> 00:07:41,045
it's done by an outside company, not even state level. It's done at a higher level.

100
00:07:41,905 --> 00:07:45,685
how is it that every county, um, when the voter rolls go up and go down

101
00:07:46,095 --> 00:07:49,685
every county systematically all rise and say at the same level?

102
00:07:50,145 --> 00:07:54,045
that's not right. Okay. Not every county's the same. We can. So where

103
00:07:54,205 --> 00:07:58,065
are these answers? We need to control our voter voter rolls. We

104
00:07:58,285 --> 00:08:02,145
need to control this. What are you doing? Where are these answers? So we

105
00:08:02,365 --> 00:08:06,045
can know that? Please set up a time to come talk with staff. That'd be great. We'd love to help you

106
00:08:06,405 --> 00:08:10,315
with that. Thank you. Much appreciated. Okay.

107
00:08:11,895 --> 00:08:15,525
donna, sherwin. Donna, do you have anything new? I do. Thank, thank you.

108
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:19,965
yeah. So, um, I just wanted to make sure

109
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:24,065
that the county knew that, uh, missouri, uh, in 2022, uh,

110
00:08:24,285 --> 00:08:27,805
conducted a hand count of one of their, uh, actual counties.

111
00:08:28,825 --> 00:08:32,665
and, um, compared to the rest of the state, when the counting was

112
00:08:32,885 --> 00:08:36,825
done, they were 20 minutes behind the tabulating machines from other counties. And

113
00:08:37,045 --> 00:08:40,925
after that proof that the hand count could be done, uh, in a timely fashion,

114
00:08:41,745 --> 00:08:45,565
uh, they actually created and published a free, uh, I think it's

115
00:08:45,765 --> 00:08:49,625
150 page manual for hand counting, which the county navajo county

116
00:08:50,095 --> 00:08:53,965
could obtain. And in between now and the 30th of july, when the

117
00:08:54,125 --> 00:08:58,085
first primary election happens, uh, we could take that, uh, into consideration.

118
00:08:58,745 --> 00:09:02,365
and, um, another question I have for you, um, I haven't seen it in the newspaper,

119
00:09:02,885 --> 00:09:06,525
is how are you advertising for poll workers? When we go to your website, the website

120
00:09:06,925 --> 00:09:10,925
says election board members, how do people know to look for that when they wanna

121
00:09:11,175 --> 00:09:14,965
apply to be a poll worker? Nobody knows that. It's an election board member

122
00:09:15,425 --> 00:09:19,235
who refers to that as election board member. So can the county website

123
00:09:19,785 --> 00:09:23,745
be changed and make it so that people can, on a search, find out

124
00:09:24,105 --> 00:09:28,085
how they can apply to be a poll worker? Also, the drop boxes are supposed to,

125
00:09:28,205 --> 00:09:31,965
according to the election manual of arizona, be 24 hours a day,

126
00:09:32,225 --> 00:09:35,525
man, manned by two people. That is in the election manual.

127
00:09:36,305 --> 00:09:40,245
but yet now we're putting money towards buying cameras, which once we

128
00:09:40,445 --> 00:09:44,175
read a little deeper into the election manual, we've discovered that they actually state

129
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:48,885
it has to be manually watched 24 hours a day. That is in

130
00:09:49,105 --> 00:09:53,085
the election manual. So now the camera idea is an

131
00:09:53,245 --> 00:09:57,045
obsolete idea because we need people to be able to man every

132
00:09:57,325 --> 00:10:00,765
dropbox in the county. Two people. And that would be two people, one from each party.

133
00:10:01,505 --> 00:10:04,965
so how are we gonna do that? We need to get rid of the drop boxes. Also, 24,000

134
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:09,755
people who mailed in ballots for the 2022 election, according

135
00:10:10,365 --> 00:10:13,605
to one of my friends that works in the office. It takes one person,

136
00:10:14,945 --> 00:10:18,805
one full day to count 300 ballots. If you divide that into 24,000

137
00:10:20,275 --> 00:10:23,925
ballots, how do you get that done in a timely fashion? It's, it's not, it's not doable.

138
00:10:24,325 --> 00:10:28,185
it's that would it equal 80 days to count, or, sorry, not count, but

139
00:10:28,405 --> 00:10:32,065
check, um, um, signatures. So anyway,

140
00:10:32,505 --> 00:10:36,465
um, we just, we need to clean things up. I, I do ask you, you are our servants, uh,

141
00:10:36,745 --> 00:10:40,685
we talk about in the pledge, indivisible. Well, we are divided and I don't

142
00:10:40,845 --> 00:10:44,605
know why there's such a a hold back and the county seems to not wanna do

143
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:49,125
what we were asking. We in 2015 got machines, but

144
00:10:49,525 --> 00:10:53,365
previous to that we hand counted. There's a, a backups provision in

145
00:10:53,565 --> 00:10:57,485
the manual when we are election, uh, in our election training. Kristin haddock

146
00:10:57,965 --> 00:11:01,685
teaches us that, that if the electricity were to go down, we can do everything

147
00:11:02,885 --> 00:11:06,645
manually. Why do we not do that? Why don't we just get rid of the machines and do a manual

148
00:11:06,895 --> 00:11:10,805
count? So I thank you for your time. Yeah. If you'll be sure to reach

149
00:11:11,125 --> 00:11:14,945
out to staff with some of those questions that you had, that we addressed. And then one for

150
00:11:15,165 --> 00:11:19,165
me and just make up with my notes. What was the term, sorry, poll. I just wanna make sure I, election board,

151
00:11:19,885 --> 00:11:23,775
election board members is on your website. That's what you didn't like that name? Well, who's,

152
00:11:24,145 --> 00:11:28,125
who knows to call it an election board? No, I just need to write that down. Yeah. Thank you. So not a poll worker, but thank

153
00:11:28,285 --> 00:11:31,845
you. Yes, you're welcome. And, and I do live in pinetop. Thank you. Perfect. Thank you.

154
00:11:33,075 --> 00:11:33,075
alright,

155
00:11:37,425 --> 00:11:41,195
so the way that I'm gonna do this now is I'm gonna ask you again, do you have something new when

156
00:11:41,685 --> 00:11:45,445
you come up, if you'll state what's new that you have,

157
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:49,965
if you don't, then I'm gonna ask you to, to go ahead and, and have

158
00:11:50,245 --> 00:11:54,125
a seat. We have a meeting that we have business that we've told our citizens that we

159
00:11:54,285 --> 00:11:58,105
are gonna address today and get through. And those were agendized as was

160
00:11:58,325 --> 00:12:02,035
appropriate. And we're gonna do that. So mary, uh, mary,

161
00:12:02,705 --> 00:12:06,485
uh, looks like cooking. Yes. I build my time to elia

162
00:12:06,845 --> 00:12:10,725
lin. Okay. I'm not doing the yield the time

163
00:12:10,885 --> 00:12:14,885
thing, but just so would you like to speak, is that in the agenda? Is what

164
00:12:15,835 --> 00:12:19,565
that you're not going to yield time? It's not. Do I have to have an agenda that I'm yielding

165
00:12:19,845 --> 00:12:23,685
time or not yielding time. Our, our policy is that each individual has two minutes. There's

166
00:12:24,165 --> 00:12:28,045
nothing to give time to somebody else. It says three in the agenda. I'm sorry, three minutes.

167
00:12:28,605 --> 00:12:32,605
I misspoke. So it's at the chair's discretion to be able to, to do that.

168
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:36,885
but we have quite a few of 'em here that we're trying to be able to get through and a meeting that we're trying

169
00:12:37,005 --> 00:12:40,065
to attend to that was agenda and business to be done. So

170
00:12:41,905 --> 00:12:45,865
do you want to speak or do you want to have and do you have new items? No, I was

171
00:12:46,085 --> 00:12:49,805
going to yield my five facility. Okay. Celia, do you have new items?

172
00:12:50,285 --> 00:12:53,845
I do. Okay, hold on. When we come to yours and let me see if I can find yours real quick.

173
00:12:54,905 --> 00:12:56,325
um, so mary, no. Right.

174
00:13:01,095 --> 00:13:04,965
thank you celia. Sorry. I'm find yours here. Okay. I found it. So three minutes,

175
00:13:05,465 --> 00:13:09,325
you have new items if you'll come up address and give us your address and then just go

176
00:13:09,685 --> 00:13:13,445
straight into the, these are the new items. My name is celia loughlin

177
00:13:14,025 --> 00:13:17,695
and I live at 2169 knife and over guard. These

178
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:22,215
are the new items I'm asking that the board

179
00:13:23,165 --> 00:13:26,505
considers that my vote is disenfranchised

180
00:13:28,225 --> 00:13:32,005
if it is changed by a malicious actor as described

181
00:13:32,605 --> 00:13:33,625
in the cisa 2022.

182
00:13:36,665 --> 00:13:40,155
if my unmonitored ballot box is illegally

183
00:13:41,035 --> 00:13:44,245
stuffed as described as a vulnerability

184
00:13:45,545 --> 00:13:49,345
by csa and if our voter rolls export

185
00:13:50,005 --> 00:13:53,335
non-citizens, felons and drivers under

186
00:13:54,325 --> 00:13:58,245
18, which he spoke about last time we met, so that they

187
00:13:58,405 --> 00:14:01,565
are all sent a ballot in mailin ballot,

188
00:14:02,715 --> 00:14:06,525
then my vote is disenfranchised. That's a violation of my 14th

189
00:14:06,925 --> 00:14:10,355
amendment. Right. And the new information

190
00:14:11,045 --> 00:14:14,775
that I have that I have not brought is the email

191
00:14:15,125 --> 00:14:18,625
between merrick garland, his wife, and

192
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:22,925
the, um, let me go to that information quickly.

193
00:14:24,475 --> 00:14:28,305
lynn garland in those emails from may and july of

194
00:14:28,525 --> 00:14:32,435
2015, where she asked whether

195
00:14:33,025 --> 00:14:36,935
the es and s machines, she was talking to the maryland state board

196
00:14:37,285 --> 00:14:41,245
of elections, whether the es and s machines are connected to the

197
00:14:41,645 --> 00:14:45,265
internet, she is told yes. And several are

198
00:14:45,765 --> 00:14:49,195
included in the e-s-n-s-d-s 200 tabulator

199
00:14:50,665 --> 00:14:53,125
and we're still using those nine years later.

200
00:14:55,675 --> 00:14:59,225
okay. I'm also asking that if, um,

201
00:14:59,905 --> 00:15:03,645
I'm offering a suggestion. I have

202
00:15:04,875 --> 00:15:08,105
mark, cook and clay par

203
00:15:09,385 --> 00:15:12,965
as ideas on how to examine our systems

204
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:17,545
and processes so that they can better address the

205
00:15:17,765 --> 00:15:21,385
hand counting and we can do it live streamed by

206
00:15:21,925 --> 00:15:25,885
precinct. Um, that would, and it would be pennies on the dollar.

207
00:15:27,805 --> 00:15:31,685
I think that's it. Oh, and if ms. Richards, I know that she had, I had

208
00:15:31,885 --> 00:15:35,845
heard since the last meeting, this happened a few years ago, but she said

209
00:15:36,085 --> 00:15:40,085
that she could not do another election unless it is with machines. Then I

210
00:15:40,205 --> 00:15:44,045
would ask that she be dismissed of her job and that we look at diverting

211
00:15:44,605 --> 00:15:47,825
the money to experts like clay par or

212
00:15:49,275 --> 00:15:53,165
mark cook. Thank you. Appreciate your time on that. Thank you. If you would,

213
00:15:54,205 --> 00:15:58,165
I wanna make sure again and address, if you have something new, please feel free to share

214
00:15:58,405 --> 00:16:02,405
it. The appropriate way to be able to deal, 'cause your voice you need to be heard

215
00:16:02,985 --> 00:16:06,885
is to reach out to the county. You can call any one of us as elected officials and have

216
00:16:07,045 --> 00:16:10,845
a conversation with us. You also can reach out to the county and start to have these conversations.

217
00:16:11,945 --> 00:16:15,885
you can also reach out to your party leadership because we've had ongoing

218
00:16:16,285 --> 00:16:19,965
meetings and continue to meet with party leadership and are in what I believe are productive

219
00:16:20,365 --> 00:16:24,205
conversations around the concerns that are there. Are trying to actively find

220
00:16:24,515 --> 00:16:28,285
ways to be able to work within the laws of the land that

221
00:16:28,525 --> 00:16:32,385
we have on how we can achieve those things. The format is not

222
00:16:32,605 --> 00:16:36,585
to come here and to do it this way because we can't communicate. So, so again, I'm

223
00:16:36,805 --> 00:16:40,645
just giving kind of how we're gonna work the rest of the call to the public. If, if you don't have something

224
00:16:41,185 --> 00:16:45,125
new and your idea is just to be able to come on the microphone and do, I'm gonna

225
00:16:45,205 --> 00:16:49,165
start dismissing quicker. Okay? We want to hear you. There's an

226
00:16:49,285 --> 00:16:53,105
appropriate way to do that. I've got families that are here. They're gonna be, that have the

227
00:16:53,325 --> 00:16:56,885
items on the agenda. We've got business to be done. So here we go. The next thing,

228
00:16:57,665 --> 00:17:01,365
jackie allen, I have something

229
00:17:01,725 --> 00:17:05,525
new. I was going to yield my time to say thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

230
00:17:05,855 --> 00:17:09,645
jerry hubbard. Jerry, do you have something new? I had something new, but it's

231
00:17:09,885 --> 00:17:13,455
essentially been covered by one of the other people speaking today. So I will yield.

232
00:17:14,055 --> 00:17:17,965
thank you. I really appreciate it. Thank you. And if you have more items, feel free to reach out to

233
00:17:18,125 --> 00:17:21,865
one of us or the county and we'll be happy to work with you. Uh,

234
00:17:22,155 --> 00:17:26,045
tina, question, do you have something new? Yes. Perfect.

235
00:17:26,625 --> 00:17:30,555
if you'll give your address and then tell us what new you have. My name is tina

236
00:17:30,905 --> 00:17:34,845
parham, 29 14 pine road over guard, arizona. I am outraged

237
00:17:35,865 --> 00:17:39,145
at the inflated numbers given by mr. Ma

238
00:17:40,025 --> 00:17:43,945
layton concerning hand counting. Um,

239
00:17:44,705 --> 00:17:48,095
he said that they would be up to even maybe 40%

240
00:17:49,175 --> 00:17:53,155
error if we hand count it instead of using the machine. It's

241
00:17:53,445 --> 00:17:57,285
being done all over the world with minimal errors and navajo

242
00:17:57,705 --> 00:18:00,115
county did it for decades with

243
00:18:01,805 --> 00:18:04,885
absolute insignificant errors. It can be done.

244
00:18:06,025 --> 00:18:09,615
uh, many of his comments were error

245
00:18:10,505 --> 00:18:14,345
and they were not addressed to us. They did not answer any of our

246
00:18:14,845 --> 00:18:18,845
questions that were submitted. And what's the

247
00:18:18,965 --> 00:18:21,915
new item? I'm not hearing something new. My outrage.

248
00:18:23,315 --> 00:18:27,245
it's the new item. Thank you for sharing that. You're frustrated. He, we'd be happy to have a conversation.

249
00:18:28,425 --> 00:18:32,155
you'll go ahead and take a seat. Thank you. Appreciate your time. Alright, melinda,

250
00:18:32,645 --> 00:18:36,605
thomas and folks, we'll have a meeting of order if we start doing that. We'll just

251
00:18:37,065 --> 00:18:41,005
let you go into the next room and be able to watch from there so we can get business done. Melinda, you

252
00:18:41,165 --> 00:18:44,805
have something new? Yes. Thank you. Melinda thomas, 85 71

253
00:18:45,925 --> 00:18:49,745
bobcat in show low. My question more so is

254
00:18:50,135 --> 00:18:53,695
about the security for me is any technology

255
00:18:55,265 --> 00:18:59,205
can be hacked regardless if banks can get hacked. I

256
00:18:59,325 --> 00:19:02,715
think these tabulators or even the pole pads,

257
00:19:03,675 --> 00:19:07,365
even though they say that the pole pads aren't, you know, connected to the internet.

258
00:19:07,955 --> 00:19:11,525
melinda, anything? This is a question that's been asked multiple times. Do you have something new?

259
00:19:12,205 --> 00:19:16,085
anything that has technology I'm ask can be had you don't have something new? Do you have something

260
00:19:16,245 --> 00:19:18,925
new? This is something that's been, I just wanted that to, to go onto the record. Thank you,

261
00:19:21,235 --> 00:19:25,045
belinda. Thank you. Yes, I have something new.

262
00:19:25,335 --> 00:19:29,245
thank you. If you'll give your address scrapes for you to treat us like this. Thank you. This

263
00:19:29,525 --> 00:19:33,325
is, this is our three minutes to speak all you. Can you go ahead and and have her removed out

264
00:19:33,705 --> 00:19:37,525
of the meeting? Thank you. No, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. We demand,

265
00:19:38,145 --> 00:19:41,785
we demand the very least that you do is set up at a burden. No.

266
00:19:42,745 --> 00:19:46,705
is I have three minutes. The supreme court says she

267
00:19:46,925 --> 00:19:50,885
can see. Would you like to be removed as well? She wants to. Would you like to be removed as well?

268
00:19:51,425 --> 00:19:54,905
no, but hey, we need to move forward. Members can speak as him.

269
00:19:55,585 --> 00:19:59,445
I'm so sorry for those of you that have children here. We are better than this

270
00:19:59,605 --> 00:20:02,965
right now. So, I'm sorry. Really this is not how it's appropriate.

271
00:20:03,765 --> 00:20:07,125
I apologize. Supreme court says so we have a rick,

272
00:20:08,635 --> 00:20:12,605
rick bures. Rick, do you have anything new? I do have something to do with it. Thank you.

273
00:20:13,085 --> 00:20:16,345
a discrepancy between white river holding center and

274
00:20:17,125 --> 00:20:20,825
cinco here in holbrook. Okay. Uh, my name is rick burris.

275
00:20:21,325 --> 00:20:24,925
I live at 2 8 8 3 silver dollar in ob guard. December 9th, 2022.

276
00:20:26,325 --> 00:20:30,125
approximately 30 days after election day. And by the way, 30

277
00:20:30,405 --> 00:20:33,615
days after election, recount is useless for that. But that's another discussion.

278
00:20:34,935 --> 00:20:38,845
eyewitness account of an election day ballot recount. December 9th, 2022.

279
00:20:41,285 --> 00:20:44,765
recount of election day ballots from the ds 200 from white river voter center

280
00:20:45,785 --> 00:20:49,205
and recount at central here in holbrook. An error

281
00:20:49,925 --> 00:20:53,885
reported coming from white river boat center, zip drive numbers

282
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:58,085
along with ballots not counted on the ds 200, did not match

283
00:20:58,345 --> 00:21:02,045
the recount at central in holbrook zip drive counted

284
00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:06,005
855 ballots. The ds 200

285
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:09,685
went down at the voting location. There was no power

286
00:21:10,955 --> 00:21:14,945
resulting in 145 ballots not counted by the ds

287
00:21:15,165 --> 00:21:18,845
200. These 145 ballots were received at central

288
00:21:19,385 --> 00:21:23,125
in a bag for recount. The paper ballots cast at the white river

289
00:21:23,435 --> 00:21:26,885
vote center on the ds 200 and the 145

290
00:21:27,725 --> 00:21:31,515
placed in bag should have been a total of 1000 paper ballots

291
00:21:33,955 --> 00:21:36,965
central reported. The recount of the paper ballots from white river

292
00:21:38,505 --> 00:21:40,795
on 12 9 20 22 was 992.

293
00:21:43,195 --> 00:21:46,675
this is the number that was reported to the secretary of state 992

294
00:21:47,845 --> 00:21:50,925
on the recount. Even though they were recorded eight missing

295
00:21:52,225 --> 00:21:56,085
the election. Employee official asked the inspector what happened. And it was noted

296
00:21:56,365 --> 00:22:00,285
that the inspector said maybe some ballots were counted twice on the tabulator

297
00:22:01,745 --> 00:22:05,625
and they just don't remember this comment on the tabulator counting the

298
00:22:05,845 --> 00:22:09,805
ballots twice as interesting. Remember, we are only talking about the

299
00:22:09,965 --> 00:22:13,845
ballots that were cast by walk-in election day voters and their ballots

300
00:22:14,285 --> 00:22:18,215
are to go through the tabulator. Here's the saddest thing. Eight

301
00:22:18,925 --> 00:22:22,805
citizens who have a civil right to vote, come to the polls to cast

302
00:22:23,005 --> 00:22:26,565
their vote and their vote was tossed in the abyss by a technical

303
00:22:27,075 --> 00:22:30,525
heir. These tabulators and voting equipment have countless vulnerabilities

304
00:22:31,955 --> 00:22:35,725
that continue to take away our civil rights and violate the arizona constitution

305
00:22:36,385 --> 00:22:40,185
and the us constitution. The biggest takeaway, if

306
00:22:40,405 --> 00:22:44,375
the election was hand counted in the first place at the precinct level, there

307
00:22:44,725 --> 00:22:48,105
would've been none of these open doors to damaging vulnerabilities, errors

308
00:22:48,785 --> 00:22:52,325
and gross oversights. We demand, at the very least,

309
00:22:53,385 --> 00:22:56,885
you set up an emergency backup and verify all ballots

310
00:22:57,425 --> 00:23:01,185
and voters and hand count all, not

311
00:23:01,435 --> 00:23:05,305
just a select few, all the actual paper ballots and

312
00:23:05,525 --> 00:23:09,525
the votes on them to confirm the accuracy of the vote and the voters.

313
00:23:10,335 --> 00:23:14,245
thank you. Appreciate your time. I have right here your name and information.

314
00:23:15,385 --> 00:23:18,925
if you'll please share that if you feel so inclined with staff,

315
00:23:19,465 --> 00:23:23,375
the information afterwards so we can look at that. Thank you. Uh, roger,

316
00:23:24,535 --> 00:23:28,385
roger gore. Uh, there's one if

317
00:23:28,605 --> 00:23:32,605
you'll come up to, for the, for the, uh, native americans

318
00:23:32,845 --> 00:23:36,265
on the council. And the second, the cost saving issue. Okay. Thank you sir.

319
00:23:36,985 --> 00:23:40,575
my name is roger gores. I live at 3 5 5 7 wildflower

320
00:23:41,245 --> 00:23:45,125
drive in hebert. Uh, my justification to speaking to the three native

321
00:23:45,805 --> 00:23:49,445
american council members is I have worked and lived on the navajo

322
00:23:50,315 --> 00:23:53,845
reservation. I've as a federal government employee,

323
00:23:54,845 --> 00:23:58,645
I have also worked at the fort mcdowell reservation as a

324
00:23:58,955 --> 00:24:02,765
fort mcdowell government employee. You three

325
00:24:03,125 --> 00:24:06,905
native americans on this board of supervisors have the

326
00:24:07,765 --> 00:24:11,585
majority power to do something on the reservations. One

327
00:24:11,805 --> 00:24:15,725
of the things I want you to consider, because you have sovereign nation

328
00:24:16,025 --> 00:24:18,895
status in this country, is you could allow,

329
00:24:20,145 --> 00:24:23,405
uh, hand count ballots in your precincts

330
00:24:25,065 --> 00:24:28,745
to, uh, validate, uh,

331
00:24:29,425 --> 00:24:32,545
the accuracy of the electronic voting systems or not.

332
00:24:33,465 --> 00:24:37,325
the second thing, and I want you to consider that, the second

333
00:24:37,605 --> 00:24:40,905
thing is the cost saving measure. Uh, there has been, uh,

334
00:24:42,075 --> 00:24:45,755
cost savings, cost accounts of doing hand count ballots

335
00:24:47,785 --> 00:24:51,605
and having employees or volunteers do that. I want

336
00:24:51,845 --> 00:24:55,825
you to consider, I I believe we would have enough volunteers in

337
00:24:56,045 --> 00:24:59,865
this county to hand count ballots and not be

338
00:25:00,115 --> 00:25:04,065
paid. Why do, why do volunteers have to be paid to do,

339
00:25:05,105 --> 00:25:09,045
uh, hand count ballots? I don't understand that. Thank you for

340
00:25:09,245 --> 00:25:13,205
your time. Appreciate it. Thank you. Alright. And that's

341
00:25:13,785 --> 00:25:17,725
all the ones that I had. Leslie, you don't have any other ones? Correct.

342
00:25:18,155 --> 00:25:21,745
okay. So that's all the ones that I have for call of the public. Thank you very much. Um,

343
00:25:22,785 --> 00:25:26,405
it does allow us to respond to criticism. I just will make this simple comment.

344
00:25:27,065 --> 00:25:30,965
we have continued to try to make sure that there's an open door to have a conversation.

345
00:25:31,385 --> 00:25:35,045
if you'd like to, feel free to call any one of your elected officials. Feel free

346
00:25:35,425 --> 00:25:39,345
to be able to, in the proper format, reach out to the county staff and

347
00:25:39,565 --> 00:25:42,885
we're continuing to meet with some of the party leadership to have conversations with them.

348
00:25:44,025 --> 00:25:47,985
we are continuing and committed to have those conversations, um, in

349
00:25:48,205 --> 00:25:52,005
the appropriate format. So we're more than willing to do that. Want to listen, want to make sure that we have,

350
00:25:52,345 --> 00:25:56,285
but appreciate those being here on that today. We're gonna move on then from call to

351
00:25:56,485 --> 00:26:00,425
the public. Um, and we're gonna go

352
00:26:00,865 --> 00:26:04,865
to the consent agenda. Item number two. Alyssa

supervisor. Do we have the wrestlers out there?

00:28:21,185 --> 00:28:22,685
and I'll weigh off of'em again.

383
00:28:50,115 --> 00:28:54,085
turn around. You guys can turn around and face the board here. Is your, is your coach here

384
00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:57,185
today? I want to be there. He's coming in.

385
00:29:06,335 --> 00:29:10,305
thank you. Coach. Would you like to just, uh, take a moment or two and

386
00:29:10,555 --> 00:29:14,265
just kind of share us a little bit about your, your team here today? And

387
00:29:14,765 --> 00:29:18,765
I, I just appreciate you being here. Sure. Thanks. First of all. Thanks for having

388
00:29:18,925 --> 00:29:22,865
us here today and, and recognizing these wonderful young men. Um,

389
00:29:23,465 --> 00:29:27,305
you know, two years ago we didn't fare so hot in

390
00:29:27,545 --> 00:29:31,045
the state tournament. Um, got, uh, we were

391
00:29:31,705 --> 00:29:35,245
up against marci who was a renting three time state champions as a team.

392
00:29:35,955 --> 00:29:39,845
yuma catholic who was a renting three time state runners up.

393
00:29:40,625 --> 00:29:44,605
um, yuma catholic's coach emailed me not too long ago and he was talking about

394
00:29:45,225 --> 00:29:48,815
he crunches numbers. And this whole season they were talking to their team about

395
00:29:49,275 --> 00:29:52,835
chasing 22 points. That's what they needed to make up from the previous year

396
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:57,585
to win the state championship. And he told me, and I don't, I don't crunch numbers, we

397
00:29:57,805 --> 00:30:01,765
just go out and try to wrestle. And he said, just to put in perspective, you guys

398
00:30:01,885 --> 00:30:05,805
were chasing, I think he said 105 and a half points from the previous year.

399
00:30:06,705 --> 00:30:10,565
and, uh, these young men, uh, put in a lot of time and a lot of effort,

400
00:30:11,465 --> 00:30:15,465
um, worked their tails off and uh, um, pushed each other to

401
00:30:15,685 --> 00:30:19,635
be better. And we came out on top by two points over, um, yuma

402
00:30:20,165 --> 00:30:23,805
catholic and I think four points over marci. Um, I think that

403
00:30:24,385 --> 00:30:27,805
the, uh, the best thing about it's, we come from a high school of 165

404
00:30:28,795 --> 00:30:32,725
kids, so more or less 80 kids, 82 and a half boys

405
00:30:33,025 --> 00:30:36,845
to choose from on our wrestling team and to compete against schools that

406
00:30:37,125 --> 00:30:40,985
have upwards of 800, 850, um, kids in the schools, uh,

407
00:30:41,545 --> 00:30:45,245
is a huge accomplishment for these young men. And, and I can't say enough about

408
00:30:45,645 --> 00:30:49,645
'em, the time and effort that they put into it. 'cause you see on a lot of the shirts they

409
00:30:49,845 --> 00:30:53,725
have the, the men on the mat. We, we took an opportunity to go watch the, the, the movie

410
00:30:54,465 --> 00:30:58,285
the boys in the boat and, uh, just a couple weeks before the state

411
00:30:58,485 --> 00:31:02,445
tournament. And I think we were a little bit inspired by that, that hey, if we can get things in

412
00:31:02,645 --> 00:31:06,445
the full swing, we have the kids in there, the the guys in the room to make it happen.

413
00:31:06,745 --> 00:31:10,515
and, and they did it. So we kind of came up with the theme of men on the mat and it's

414
00:31:10,805 --> 00:31:14,645
been a special, special group of kids and a lot of these kids are coming back next year. We're we're

415
00:31:14,885 --> 00:31:18,715
missing three seniors that are on a senior trip today. But, uh, they were, they were huge

416
00:31:19,025 --> 00:31:22,815
and instrumental in, in our championship as well. That's great. Thank

417
00:31:23,165 --> 00:31:27,165
you very much. When I, uh, met with your superintendent, ron tinney told me the

418
00:31:27,325 --> 00:31:30,905
story about where you guys came up with the men on the map of going and,

419
00:31:31,385 --> 00:31:35,005
and watching that movie. Those of you who haven't seen that movie, it's a olympic

420
00:31:35,535 --> 00:31:39,065
story of some people who, who went on to win the olympics, uh, at rowing.

421
00:31:39,585 --> 00:31:43,555
and it just takes a lot of effort. The synchronization. Will

422
00:31:43,845 --> 00:31:47,775
you guys have one state champion today if it, uh, let's

423
00:31:48,125 --> 00:31:51,985
see, who is that? Caleb. Caleb, okay, repeat

424
00:31:52,405 --> 00:31:56,405
here. Okay. And it's come up. I'm gonna give this to you because I'm gonna single you out just a

425
00:31:56,525 --> 00:31:59,975
little bit because you, you are the, the one single state

426
00:32:00,725 --> 00:32:04,525
champion that they had. Okay, congratulations. But what's unique about

427
00:32:04,835 --> 00:32:08,045
wrestling is to win a state championship

428
00:32:08,985 --> 00:32:12,865
as a team. And it took all of you guys to

429
00:32:13,085 --> 00:32:16,945
do that as a team. And as your coach said, you won by two points and

430
00:32:17,165 --> 00:32:21,005
to win by two points is very difficult. I think there was a time you guys were thinking

431
00:32:21,285 --> 00:32:25,285
that you could dip fifth or sixth place maybe and then some things happened and you

432
00:32:25,445 --> 00:32:29,285
guys were actually cheering for people who you thought you wouldn't be cheering for at

433
00:32:29,485 --> 00:32:33,445
sometimes and cheering for other teams back and forth that create a little bit of that going

434
00:32:33,765 --> 00:32:37,005
on. Absolutely. And then what was exciting is you guys got bonus points.

435
00:32:38,005 --> 00:32:41,965
I think if you wrestle or you get pins, you get things they add up to bonus

436
00:32:42,205 --> 00:32:46,035
points and your team got 54 bonus points during that meet.

437
00:32:46,665 --> 00:32:50,415
so it was phenomenal that even if you took fifth place or sixth

438
00:32:50,765 --> 00:32:53,955
place, every one of your matches contributed

439
00:32:55,105 --> 00:32:58,965
to the state champion. If any one of you would've maybe

440
00:32:59,265 --> 00:33:03,025
not got a pin but just won or if you would've lost by

441
00:33:03,275 --> 00:33:07,085
more than you did, it would've lost some of those points. So it was truly

442
00:33:07,525 --> 00:33:11,445
a team effort. And then we just wanna applaud you for that team effort. So come up, we're gonna give

443
00:33:11,645 --> 00:33:15,525
you these, uh, award here and just uh, take the

444
00:33:15,685 --> 00:33:19,685
group picture if we could of everybody. Okay. But congratulations. Let's give guys thank you.

445
00:33:32,425 --> 00:33:32,425
congratulations.

446
00:33:57,615 --> 00:33:58,105
thank you.

447
00:34:05,145 --> 00:34:08,985
do you think we should put some of that front row, like right down there? Or

448
00:34:09,905 --> 00:34:13,365
how do you wanna do? Yeah, why don't we do that.

449
00:34:14,435 --> 00:34:18,245
want take about, about you guys? Come to the front.

450
00:34:18,595 --> 00:34:19,725
that front there.

451
00:34:23,715 --> 00:34:27,605
down here. Go down here. Yeah. Let's see if

452
00:34:29,295 --> 00:34:33,045
we'll take half you guys right in front, right here.

453
00:34:39,835 --> 00:34:41,375

454
00:34:49,715 --> 00:34:50,845

1, 2, 3. Hold it. I'm gonna get one this way.

459
00:35:33,785 --> 00:35:36,505
1, 2, 3. Congratulations

460
00:35:38,555 --> 00:35:38,555
guys.

461
00:35:54,745 --> 00:35:56,995

462
00:36:12,225 --> 00:36:16,085
all great to see them. We have a couple more

463
00:36:16,365 --> 00:36:19,825
recognitions that we want to do. I want bite up real quick. Um,

464
00:36:20,555 --> 00:36:24,085
kaitlyn leduc and our coach joe larson, if you guys wanna come up to the,

465
00:36:26,235 --> 00:36:29,065
come up to the microphone, that'd be great. Um,

466
00:36:32,195 --> 00:36:36,045
kind of a kind of a neat ordeal we get to recognize right now. A lot of times we'll recognize

467
00:36:36,245 --> 00:36:40,085
here as a board some of the different state champions. I understand that you just became

468
00:36:40,405 --> 00:36:44,205
a state champion just recently, actually both of you guys and your mom as coach

469
00:36:44,465 --> 00:36:47,675
of this track team. So we'll be able to recognize you guys again here soon.

470
00:36:48,545 --> 00:36:52,365
but today we'll recognize you for something just a little bit different, pretty unique and

471
00:36:52,565 --> 00:36:56,505
pretty exciting. Uh, coach larson, do you mind kind of sharing with the board what, uh,

472
00:36:56,725 --> 00:36:59,005
kaitlyn was recently recognized with as far as her award?

473
00:37:02,785 --> 00:37:05,205
um, so she was,

474
00:37:06,885 --> 00:37:10,535
I put her in as, uh, applicant for an all american award.

475
00:37:11,225 --> 00:37:15,165
um, and I had received a,

476
00:37:16,225 --> 00:37:20,085
an email saying that she was, you know, a candidate for it and I needed to put

477
00:37:20,285 --> 00:37:23,465
that in. And I said, okay, I've never really seen that too much. So,

478
00:37:24,305 --> 00:37:28,285
um, I took out her gpa from the high school and she's got a

479
00:37:28,405 --> 00:37:32,385
4.0 that's without all of her other classes. I think it goes up

480
00:37:33,235 --> 00:37:37,185
into the higher 4.0 range. Um, and

481
00:37:37,405 --> 00:37:41,355
so I put her in as a scholar, all, all american, um, athlete.

482
00:37:42,065 --> 00:37:45,545
and a few weeks later I got back an email and, um,

483
00:37:46,105 --> 00:37:50,085
she had received that award. I

484
00:37:50,205 --> 00:37:53,005
also put her in as a character

485
00:37:54,265 --> 00:37:58,005
and leader, all american. And I had to write out a

486
00:37:58,345 --> 00:38:00,075
pretty long, lengthy

487
00:38:03,665 --> 00:38:07,595
letter to them on that. And I have received back that she also

488
00:38:08,325 --> 00:38:11,705
received that all american award as well. Um, this is

489
00:38:12,485 --> 00:38:16,485
somebody who is very well known to a lot of the girls

490
00:38:16,705 --> 00:38:19,635
in the wrestling community around, especially in northern arizona.

491
00:38:20,825 --> 00:38:24,565
um, and being somebody that they enjoy having

492
00:38:24,845 --> 00:38:28,425
around. And um, so she received those two awards and

493
00:38:29,285 --> 00:38:33,245
I was, I was not, I I didn't know if it was gonna work or

494
00:38:33,445 --> 00:38:37,285
not, I didn't know. But uh, with what I applied with, I felt

495
00:38:37,485 --> 00:38:41,405
like it was good enough and, um, they sent it back and she received both

496
00:38:41,605 --> 00:38:44,605
of those awards. Thank you coach.

497
00:38:45,705 --> 00:38:49,565
so if you don't mind kind of sharing with the group, one of the things that we like to hear sometimes

498
00:38:49,925 --> 00:38:53,805
from our, some from some of our award winners is just tell us what does it mean?

499
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:58,715
what does it take to, to become excellent in your area? What

500
00:38:59,005 --> 00:39:02,605
advice would you give others? Do you mind kind of sharing that with us?

501
00:39:03,865 --> 00:39:07,845
in wrestling? In wrestling or in life? You have quite a few different

502
00:39:08,085 --> 00:39:12,045
accomplishments, so happy to hear whatever you have to share. Could you stand at the

503
00:39:12,165 --> 00:39:15,715
mic? Yes. Um, well obviously

504
00:39:16,325 --> 00:39:20,285
just put a lot of work and time into it. I think one thing with my schedule is I

505
00:39:20,365 --> 00:39:24,115
don't really have a lot of free time ever. I'm always kinda working on something.

506
00:39:24,725 --> 00:39:27,885
just dedicating your time is the most you can do to

507
00:39:28,905 --> 00:39:32,545
get good at or excel in something. That's

508
00:39:32,965 --> 00:39:36,805
it. Well, thank you for sharing that. I'll, I'll tell you, I, I know

509
00:39:37,115 --> 00:39:40,535
caitlyn and her family personally and she's an outstanding human being.

510
00:39:41,305 --> 00:39:44,965
not surprised that she got char or character and leadership all american at all. Scholars

511
00:39:45,525 --> 00:39:49,005
not a surprise. She excels in most everything she tends to be a part of.

512
00:39:49,585 --> 00:39:53,495
and I know that's something that her family does. And if you probably noticed, she's pretty humble about

513
00:39:53,945 --> 00:39:57,925
how she received a reward. Um, and that's something else that

514
00:39:58,205 --> 00:40:02,165
stands out to me about you and your family. So anyways, really appreciate

515
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:05,425
you being here with us. Um, if we all could, let's give her a hand. Congratulations.

516
00:40:12,315 --> 00:40:16,305
what we're gonna do is, I, I have a medal for you here that I'm gonna give to you if

517
00:40:16,525 --> 00:40:20,365
you wanna come up here and get it. What we're gonna do, 'cause we have a few recipients that are individuals,

518
00:40:21,625 --> 00:40:25,605
we will ask you to, we're gonna give this to you, we'll ask you to stay and then we're gonna a picture with the rest of

519
00:40:25,805 --> 00:40:29,785
you guys all appear together at the, at toward. And that'll just be in a couple minutes. Is

520
00:40:30,005 --> 00:40:33,065
that okay? Okay, perfect. I want to give this to you, so

521
00:40:35,175 --> 00:40:37,805
thank you very much. Thank you.

522
00:40:39,435 --> 00:40:43,005
alright, next on the agenda is recognition of

523
00:40:43,445 --> 00:40:47,045
snowflake division 338 pound wrestling champion,

524
00:40:47,515 --> 00:40:51,405
troy ney and 215 pound repeat state champion wrestler,

525
00:40:52,295 --> 00:40:55,525
devin ney. And coach, you want to come up as well.

526
00:40:56,695 --> 00:41:00,605
coach dad, I know you respond to a lot of different ones. Brothers here who also was a

527
00:41:00,725 --> 00:41:04,125
state champion and now is wrestling in college. So good to see him

528
00:41:07,055 --> 00:41:11,005
coach in your capacity as coach. Do you mind talking a little

529
00:41:11,125 --> 00:41:14,635
bit about your experience with the team this year and what these two boys,

530
00:41:15,225 --> 00:41:19,205
uh, them, what it took to win a state championship and then we'll allow them to talk about what excellence

531
00:41:19,805 --> 00:41:20,145
looks like too?

532
00:41:26,085 --> 00:41:30,085
I think individual, I think came from just hard work. The hard work ethic that

533
00:41:30,245 --> 00:41:33,395
these two boys have is just, it's,

534
00:41:34,315 --> 00:41:37,765
it's hard to, um, I mean I see it every day and

535
00:41:38,355 --> 00:41:42,195
it's, I still can't believe how hard how hard they can push in the room. And they're,

536
00:41:42,785 --> 00:41:46,545
all they're doing is getting better, better, better, better every day. And, and

537
00:41:47,115 --> 00:41:50,965
just like life, I mean, we get setbacks. Troy gets hurt, he's still

538
00:41:51,125 --> 00:41:55,035
in the room, he is still watching, he's helping the other kids get better. Devin's

539
00:41:55,525 --> 00:41:58,825
the same way devin gets hurt, he'll sit out and work with the younger kids. And

540
00:41:59,665 --> 00:42:03,605
the team we have there is just, we have, we have

541
00:42:03,725 --> 00:42:07,675
a good team. It's, we keep pushing

542
00:42:08,195 --> 00:42:12,165
that wrestling's not in the state of

543
00:42:12,285 --> 00:42:16,015
arizona, wrestling's not as high as like iowa, pennsylvania, but we're,

544
00:42:16,365 --> 00:42:20,325
we're coming up in some of the state champs that we have

545
00:42:20,505 --> 00:42:23,805
are competing at national levels and winning at national levels.

546
00:42:25,105 --> 00:42:29,025
so arizona's on its way up. So, but telling the

547
00:42:29,245 --> 00:42:33,085
kids here in s or in snowflake is like, hey, if you want to compete, you gotta

548
00:42:33,265 --> 00:42:37,125
put in the time to work. And a lot of the kids are coming in now and we get

549
00:42:37,735 --> 00:42:41,645
seven to eight guys a night to come practice with us. And, but it

550
00:42:41,955 --> 00:42:45,845
wrestling's all about work. There's no, you can't, you can't

551
00:42:46,125 --> 00:42:49,685
take the summer off and come back the next year thinking I'm gonna be a state champ. It don't

552
00:42:50,705 --> 00:42:54,515
it don't work that way. So, and these two with their brother, they're

553
00:42:55,795 --> 00:42:59,485
some of the hardest working kids I know. And I know 'cause they, they're my kids. .

554
00:43:00,265 --> 00:43:03,835
so, but it's, it is, it's a joy to be part of it and it's,

555
00:43:04,725 --> 00:43:05,765
I can't, there's no,

556
00:43:08,735 --> 00:43:11,565
being a proud dad doesn't even mean it's not enough

557
00:43:13,105 --> 00:43:16,845
to be, to have these three and coming back here every year to do this.

558
00:43:17,875 --> 00:43:21,765
it's, it's a joy. Thank you. Appreciate you sharing that.

559
00:43:22,515 --> 00:43:26,485
troy, do you mind first sharing what it means to be a champion? Share with

560
00:43:26,645 --> 00:43:29,205
the rest of us, what that is, and then devin, if you can share with us as well.

561
00:43:30,945 --> 00:43:34,805
uh, it means a lot, but it's not just

562
00:43:34,965 --> 00:43:38,845
about being a state champion. It's about like everything else. Like putting faith

563
00:43:39,125 --> 00:43:42,645
into other things and not just wrestling and like,

564
00:43:43,835 --> 00:43:47,755
like seeing, seeing things in a different perspective

565
00:43:48,585 --> 00:43:52,515
and like knowing how, like what it takes just

566
00:43:52,805 --> 00:43:56,495
to get something that you want and other people would want. Maybe

567
00:43:56,845 --> 00:44:00,645
just as much as you. And I don't think it's just about

568
00:44:01,125 --> 00:44:04,915
the state champ, it's 'cause there's a lot of other things out there than

569
00:44:05,215 --> 00:44:09,065
being a state champ. I think it's, it's pretty cool to have, but

570
00:44:09,635 --> 00:44:13,565
it's not everything you need like for wrestling.

571
00:44:14,365 --> 00:44:18,155
'cause wrestling teaches you more than just, just

572
00:44:18,445 --> 00:44:22,175
how to work hard. It teaches a lot more things. Like it showed you, shows

573
00:44:22,525 --> 00:44:25,725
you who, who really works hard and who doesn't. And like

574
00:44:27,895 --> 00:44:31,565
who's there and who's there when, when you're working,

575
00:44:31,975 --> 00:44:35,725
who's not. I think. Thank you. Appreciate your comments

576
00:44:36,355 --> 00:44:39,835
evan. Uh, kind of the same thing. Like,

577
00:44:41,235 --> 00:44:45,165
like before this year I thought like wrestling meant everything, but like a few things

578
00:44:45,365 --> 00:44:48,795
happen. It doesn't, it doesn't mean that much anymore. Like winning

579
00:44:49,465 --> 00:44:53,305
is cool. See like after state hugging my dad, that's

580
00:44:53,725 --> 00:44:57,465
like one of the best feelings ever. Uh, getting to

581
00:44:58,275 --> 00:45:01,945
next year, hopefully passing him. Uh,

582
00:45:02,395 --> 00:45:06,125
it's just something that I look forward to, but it doesn't mean the world to me anymore.

583
00:45:07,035 --> 00:45:10,765
like it's a lot. But it's, it's just something

584
00:45:11,165 --> 00:45:15,045
that like, we like to do. It's not every, it's not all we

585
00:45:15,205 --> 00:45:18,855
know. I don't know. Appreciate

586
00:45:19,525 --> 00:45:23,365
your, appreciate your comments. Um, I I, okay. I was just going to make a couple

587
00:45:23,685 --> 00:45:27,325
comments. I've got this. I'll, I'll, I'll bring it to you here in just a second. And I've got two medals

588
00:45:27,725 --> 00:45:31,585
here for you just to recognize you. But I want to, to caitlin and to, to,

589
00:45:31,805 --> 00:45:35,805
you both had a chance to talk to some athletes last night and I recognized a

590
00:45:35,925 --> 00:45:39,605
few years ago, I really appreciate your comments about state championships matter and they do

591
00:45:40,035 --> 00:45:43,965
that, that's an accomplishment that worth highlighting. But I

592
00:45:44,085 --> 00:45:47,405
really admire what I think I'm hearing you both say, which is it matters,

593
00:45:48,145 --> 00:45:52,125
but it's not your why. It's beyond that. It's more than that. And I think that

594
00:45:52,245 --> 00:45:56,075
it's really important for especially a young athlete to understand that this

595
00:45:56,365 --> 00:46:00,325
is part of your path and that helps you as you're moving down it. This is

596
00:46:00,445 --> 00:46:04,045
not the top of the mountain. There's so much more in life to attain. There's communities

597
00:46:04,525 --> 00:46:08,165
to build, there's people to unite. There's families that you'll bring together,

598
00:46:08,985 --> 00:46:12,615
the rest of your life's in front of you and you're just getting off to a great start

599
00:46:13,545 --> 00:46:17,445
and it'll fall upon you to lift others. I watched you devon this year from a

600
00:46:17,645 --> 00:46:21,525
distance. I didn't get to see you closely, but my experience of you was similar to what you

601
00:46:21,765 --> 00:46:25,765
just relayed last year, um, as a freshman, you won state and you

602
00:46:25,925 --> 00:46:29,905
were focused on that. This year I've watched you act a little bit more of a part of a leader and

603
00:46:30,125 --> 00:46:33,885
trying to rally those around. You watched your brother do that as well, but trying to elevate

604
00:46:34,365 --> 00:46:38,265
your teammates and make them better, I want to acknowledge that and say thank you for

605
00:46:38,485 --> 00:46:41,895
your efforts in that. That was highlighted with kaitlyn as well is how she's,

606
00:46:42,545 --> 00:46:46,465
how she's a leader and elevates those around her. That's what leaders do. You've

607
00:46:46,885 --> 00:46:50,845
proven you can win a state championship now. Go out and prove that you can continue

608
00:46:51,005 --> 00:46:55,005
to win in life. So thank you very much for being here with us today. We're gonna do pictures here in a second. We have

609
00:46:55,085 --> 00:46:59,045
one more recognition that we're gonna do, but then we'll have you all come up for pictures. I have

610
00:46:59,205 --> 00:47:03,165
these for you if you guys wanna come get these. I want to know. Do you,

611
00:47:03,305 --> 00:47:06,325
do you both of you continue your debt ?

612
00:47:09,665 --> 00:47:13,645
you can tell they're not allowed to say. Sounds like he

613
00:47:13,805 --> 00:47:17,685
still has it. We'll come ahead and then he may

614
00:47:18,005 --> 00:47:21,185

00:49:02,485 --> 00:49:06,335

640
00:49:11,585 --> 00:49:15,485
the board members and myself that, um, you have made

645
00:49:32,925 --> 00:49:36,705

646
00:49:37,015 --> 00:49:40,705

647
00:49:41,675 --> 00:49:45,635
with being the only, uh, native american, well

648
00:49:45,925 --> 00:49:49,765
these two of course the navajo student, I'm very proud of 'em. And that just shows

649
00:49:50,065 --> 00:49:53,925
the resilience that our culture has. And I think

650
00:49:54,085 --> 00:49:58,085
I really put the navajo nation on the map and I feel like that's important to giving back

651
00:49:58,365 --> 00:50:02,325
to my community because where I live is where

652
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,485
we have like little where the wrestling club started and that kind of ventured out to

653
00:50:06,705 --> 00:50:09,735
ganado and all the parts. So I just really wanna

654
00:50:11,395 --> 00:50:14,725
like, give back to the youth and especially my community.

655
00:50:15,865 --> 00:50:19,625
so I've been helping my siblings, uh, with coaching and

656
00:50:20,825 --> 00:50:24,725
my wrestling club. And I feel like wrestling could really teach you life lessons

657
00:50:25,425 --> 00:50:29,245
and not just the sport itself. And it's all around just a humbling

658
00:50:29,485 --> 00:50:33,365
sport in my opinion. And yeah, that's about it.

659
00:50:35,895 --> 00:50:39,225
thank you again. I congratulate you joseph

660
00:50:39,915 --> 00:50:42,685

00:50:48,875 --> 00:50:52,725

663
00:50:53,135 --> 00:50:56,365

00:50:57,415 --> 00:51:00,285

665
00:51:34,415 --> 00:51:35,165

666
00:51:40,665 --> 00:51:43,965
try not to cry, but I am crying.

667
00:51:45,185 --> 00:51:49,045
um, I'm so impressed by your young people.

668
00:51:50,655 --> 00:51:54,585
thank you. Thank you for your dedication to

669
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:57,845
not only your sport, but to your family,

670
00:51:59,145 --> 00:52:00,875
to your friends, to your community.

671
00:52:04,105 --> 00:52:04,325
it is,

672
00:52:09,345 --> 00:52:12,405
it is such a wonderful thing to be able to witness

673
00:52:14,115 --> 00:52:17,905
such human beings who

674
00:52:18,125 --> 00:52:21,605
have a great love of their family.

675
00:52:22,385 --> 00:52:25,865
and I could hear all of those voices and thank you for

676
00:52:26,945 --> 00:52:30,925
the young men back there who, who demonstrated

677
00:52:31,465 --> 00:52:35,355
or shared that it's not just about being a champion, that

678
00:52:35,755 --> 00:52:39,435
there's so much more than that

679
00:52:41,145 --> 00:52:44,955
and that all of the things that you have learned, um, will

680
00:52:45,245 --> 00:52:48,805
be a driving force in your life. I used to sit up here

681
00:52:49,355 --> 00:52:52,775
with a gentleman who was named steve williams and steve,

682
00:52:54,065 --> 00:52:57,945
um, he served on the board of supervisors for many years. He

683
00:52:58,185 --> 00:53:01,765
was a state president for schola ward,

684
00:53:02,305 --> 00:53:06,225
um, or the schola community. And he was selected as

685
00:53:06,565 --> 00:53:10,045
a judge from governor ducey and serves as a arizona

686
00:53:10,855 --> 00:53:14,785
judge currently. And I share that because the

687
00:53:15,165 --> 00:53:18,875
question that he always asked as a wrestler and when wrestlers came in were,

688
00:53:19,435 --> 00:53:23,075
what did you learn that you'll apply to life?

689
00:53:24,745 --> 00:53:28,685
and all of you have shared something that you'll apply to life.

690
00:53:29,745 --> 00:53:33,685
and so thank you for that gift for me to be

691
00:53:33,845 --> 00:53:37,165
able to witness because that inspires me and that inspires

692
00:53:37,985 --> 00:53:41,955
the work that I do and the work of, um, serving

693
00:53:42,535 --> 00:53:46,515
young people, but also being able to be here today with

694
00:53:46,805 --> 00:53:50,485
you and being able to be with my colleagues to make decisions

695
00:53:50,945 --> 00:53:54,425
on behalf of navajo county. I truly am

696
00:53:54,965 --> 00:53:58,445
grateful for that gift. So thank you to all of those coaches,

697
00:53:59,375 --> 00:54:02,725
every family member, every mom and dad who took you,

698
00:54:03,465 --> 00:54:07,165
um, to your practice, to every family member

699
00:54:07,585 --> 00:54:11,285
who dedicated time to all of the teachers who stayed late to help you.

700
00:54:12,025 --> 00:54:15,905
um, I know that there were many, many people who invested time in

701
00:54:16,125 --> 00:54:19,665
your success and I'm grateful to them and I'm

702
00:54:20,245 --> 00:54:23,885
grateful for the communities who have invested their time. So thank you

703
00:54:24,285 --> 00:54:28,085

00:57:43,285 --> 00:57:47,135
company llc for provisions of water services. Jason moore. Thank

736
00:57:47,485 --> 00:57:51,485
you. Yeah, good morning. Uh, mr. Chairman, members of the board, really nice to have the opportunity

737
00:57:51,805 --> 00:57:55,605
to speak to you this morning. Um, we're here to, uh, on this agenda item

738
00:57:56,025 --> 00:57:59,825
to consider, uh, granting a franchise, uh, agreement to,

739
00:58:00,105 --> 00:58:03,345
uh, canyon state utility company. Um, this is, uh,

740
00:58:04,205 --> 00:58:07,845
previously was a franchise that was held, uh, by high country pines water company,

741
00:58:08,665 --> 00:58:12,665
uh, over in, uh, near, uh, uh, hebrew overguard. Um, and

742
00:58:12,955 --> 00:58:16,525
basically, um, uh, what happened was, uh, canyon state purchased,

743
00:58:17,385 --> 00:58:20,965
uh, all of, uh, uh, high country pines water company's, uh, infrastructure

744
00:58:22,225 --> 00:58:26,125
in that area for water distribution. Um, it turned out when we

745
00:58:26,525 --> 00:58:30,065
researched the matter that, uh, uh, high country pines is, uh,

746
00:58:30,745 --> 00:58:34,545
own franchise agreement had expired like five or six years ago. Um,

747
00:58:34,905 --> 00:58:38,825
and so, uh, we, this isn't a renewal, it's, it's one that's entirely new.

748
00:58:39,545 --> 00:58:43,425
um, we have, uh, followed the statutory procedure for providing, uh, notice to

749
00:58:43,645 --> 00:58:47,505
the public, uh, under a rs 42 83. Um, and I'm

750
00:58:47,725 --> 00:58:51,685
not aware of any, uh, objections that have been made, uh, to, uh, uh, granting the

751
00:58:51,805 --> 00:58:55,725
franchise. It is a 25 year franchise agreement, which is pretty typical with these.

752
00:58:56,425 --> 00:58:59,885
um, and, uh, you did, I believe, receive some, uh, correspondence

753
00:59:00,685 --> 00:59:04,605
from, uh, fred kra, uh, from uh, canyon state, uh, telling you

754
00:59:04,805 --> 00:59:08,385
a little bit about, you know, the water company and, and, and, and what they do. Um,

755
00:59:08,905 --> 00:59:12,705
and so if there's any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. But, uh, uh,

756
00:59:13,335 --> 00:59:17,055
other than that we just, uh, ask for the board's approval. Perfect. Thank

757
00:59:17,405 --> 00:59:21,325
you. Jason. And I understand the applicant isn't gonna be present today, correct? That's correct, yeah. He

758
00:59:21,485 --> 00:59:25,485
couldn't be here. Alright. Okay. With the board, what we'll do is we'll

759
00:59:25,685 --> 00:59:29,685
go to the public hearing first before we come back. So we'll go, we'll open it up for the

760
00:59:29,805 --> 00:59:33,525
public hearing. Are there any members of the public wish to speak at this time on this?

761
00:59:38,275 --> 00:59:41,525

780
01:01:13,035 --> 01:01:16,945
good morning, chairman, vice chair members of

781
01:01:17,165 --> 01:01:20,925
the board. This morning we have the, the opportunity to recognize

782
01:01:21,225 --> 01:01:25,025
two of our employees for their years of service to navajo county.

783
01:01:26,065 --> 01:01:29,935
uh, this is one of my favorite things to recognize our employees after

784
01:01:30,285 --> 01:01:34,125
putting in so much time to serve the residents of navajo

785
01:01:34,385 --> 01:01:37,845
county. Um, the first brett's here. Good.

786
01:01:38,505 --> 01:01:42,485
so the first one we have is, is joel johnston. Joel has been with navajo county

787
01:01:42,985 --> 01:01:46,545
for over 23 years. Um, as far

788
01:01:47,085 --> 01:01:50,735
I I've been with navajo county for about 12, and, and joel's been with facilities

789
01:01:51,825 --> 01:01:55,435
the whole, the whole time. And he's been the deputy director and just

790
01:01:56,225 --> 01:02:00,045
has been doing such a solid job, uh, standing in the background and getting things

791
01:02:00,285 --> 01:02:03,565
done. Um, he, he's a hard worker, very knowledgeable,

792
01:02:04,385 --> 01:02:07,985
and he's got a good sense of humor. I like that about him too. So,

793
01:02:08,585 --> 01:02:12,365
um, we, we definitely wanna recognize him. And, and brett, if you want to say a few words

794
01:02:12,625 --> 01:02:15,845
as well. Good morning.

795
01:02:17,675 --> 01:02:19,265
joel came to us as a young pup.

796
01:02:21,755 --> 01:02:25,685
joel. Joel has been an outstanding employee. He's been a great deputy director.

797
01:02:26,555 --> 01:02:30,485
he's, um, pretty much led day to day and he actually did

798
01:02:30,685 --> 01:02:34,335
our, all of our water works, so he does all the testing our wells.

799
01:02:35,385 --> 01:02:39,225
um, and he's, he's done a phenomenal job over the years and

800
01:02:39,525 --> 01:02:43,285
I, I really appreciate having him there and he's hard to replace.

801
01:02:44,545 --> 01:02:45,565
so thank you joel.

802
01:02:48,935 --> 01:02:52,075
thank you very much. Any joel,

803
01:02:53,305 --> 01:02:56,825

804
01:02:58,225 --> 01:03:01,945
uh, I do appreciate having the opportunity to work for navajo county

805
01:03:02,425 --> 01:03:06,045
for so many years. There's really not a lot of choice up here.

806
01:03:07,105 --> 01:03:10,845
um, probably though the main reason I'm maybe taking

807
01:03:11,265 --> 01:03:15,205
off a little sooner than I could have is I am tired driving over a hundred miles a

808
01:03:15,325 --> 01:03:19,245
day from my home. So, but, uh, I'm gonna miss the guys

809
01:03:19,505 --> 01:03:23,365
and I'm gonna miss doing the work and, uh, I appreciate everything, the county

810
01:03:23,565 --> 01:03:26,645
and the board's done for me. So thank you. Thank you.

820
01:04:33,675 --> 01:04:37,545
mark sles, uh, has been with navajo county for over 12 years. And

821
01:04:37,915 --> 01:04:41,525
mark, you've worked in a couple different locations in the county. I know you've worked in probation.

822
01:04:42,625 --> 01:04:46,605
and then, uh, and then most recently in facilities, uh, mark has been our

823
01:04:47,005 --> 01:04:50,925
lead custodian for a number of years. And again, same, same with with

824
01:04:51,205 --> 01:04:55,165
joel. He is just been a steady force, uh, keeping everything clean for all

825
01:04:55,325 --> 01:04:59,125
of our employees and just doing a great job. Also, notice that mark

826
01:04:59,985 --> 01:05:03,725
is a great hard worker. He's very kind and very, very thoughtful,

827
01:05:04,145 --> 01:05:08,055
and he's just a, a great, great guy. We'll be missing him too. Brett,

828
01:05:08,465 --> 01:05:10,165
you got a few things to say too.

829
01:05:12,675 --> 01:05:16,325
just want to thank you, mark. I really appreciate

830
01:05:17,035 --> 01:05:20,525
mark. Um, I was kind of surprised when he put in for the job

831
01:05:21,485 --> 01:05:24,405
'cause, you know, coming from probation, but he said he just wanted a

832
01:05:25,945 --> 01:05:29,925
day to day, same old, same old, and he came in and he did a phenomenal job

833
01:05:30,145 --> 01:05:34,125
of leading that team and we really appreciate him. Thank you.

834
01:05:34,205 --> 01:05:34,705
mark. You

835
01:05:41,825 --> 01:05:45,725
see you. No , I don't normally say a lot of things,

836
01:05:45,985 --> 01:05:49,965
so sorry. A little under the weather. Uh, I do appreciate the opportunity

837
01:05:50,285 --> 01:05:53,645
to work with the county. It's been a lot of years

838
01:05:54,625 --> 01:05:58,365
and I was glad that I was able to work with facility at the end of it

839
01:05:58,835 --> 01:06:02,725
because like brett said, it was just a little day-to-day type

840
01:06:02,925 --> 01:06:06,915
thing, and it was easier on me, on my body and getting things done. Probation

841
01:06:07,545 --> 01:06:11,345
as a young man came on, not my age. So, uh,

842
01:06:11,725 --> 01:06:15,715
I do appreciate I'll miss a lot of the people that I've come in contact with,

843
01:06:16,325 --> 01:06:19,745
a lot of the people that I work with directly. So, uh,

844
01:06:20,765 --> 01:06:24,525
I thank you for all that you've done for me, and that's all I have. Thank you.

845
01:06:41,655 --> 01:06:45,185
thank you. Eric. Any comments from members of the board? Congratulations.

846
01:06:48,115 --> 01:06:51,705
I'll say, uh, um, ahead, vice chair. Uh, um,

847
01:06:52,615 --> 01:06:55,145
thank you chair and board members. Um,

848
01:06:56,805 --> 01:07:00,765
I think that both of you thank you for, um, being part of the

849
01:07:00,925 --> 01:07:04,185
navajo county team and really appreciate mark because, um,

850
01:07:04,955 --> 01:07:08,505
keeping things clean is not an easy job.

851
01:07:08,985 --> 01:07:12,965
so we really appreciate, um, how much you do and

852
01:07:13,165 --> 01:07:17,105
every, all part of your team that keep things clean. Um,

853
01:07:17,605 --> 01:07:19,865
I see that, um, coming to,

854
01:07:21,865 --> 01:07:25,665
to this building, these buildings and they're kept clean. We

855
01:07:25,885 --> 01:07:29,745
really appreciate that and, um, we see how

856
01:07:29,965 --> 01:07:33,865
well you do your job as well as the others who work with you. Thank you so

857
01:07:34,085 --> 01:07:37,925
much. Thank you. And I want to just say to both of you,

858
01:07:38,095 --> 01:07:42,045
thank you sincerely. It's always great to be able to recognize some of the employees that are

859
01:07:42,165 --> 01:07:45,125
here at navajo county. And the one thing that seems to always stand out to me

860
01:07:46,265 --> 01:07:50,005
is kind of the heart of where all of you are. The truth is, nobody's

861
01:07:50,565 --> 01:07:54,525
perfect, but it sure seems like our people are really striving to do the best

862
01:07:54,685 --> 01:07:58,525
they can and serve and help, um, the departments that they're with

863
01:07:58,985 --> 01:08:02,955
and the citizens that they serve. And that's some of the comments that we heard about both

864
01:08:03,245 --> 01:08:06,825
of you in your service. Um, and you leave that legacy behind

865
01:08:07,545 --> 01:08:11,485
and for those to try to live up to that standard. So thank you for your example. Thank you

866
01:08:11,605 --> 01:08:15,465
for the leadership role that you played inside of where you acted and, and

867
01:08:15,685 --> 01:08:19,645
worked. And we wish you the best in this next phase of life. So thank you very much. Appreciate

868
01:08:20,285 --> 01:08:23,925
you. So, alright, we're gonna move on then.

869
01:08:24,375 --> 01:08:27,915
thank you eric. Thank you. On to item six, sheriff's

870
01:08:28,525 --> 01:08:32,185
office consideration, approval of proclamation proclaiming may 12th

871
01:08:32,685 --> 01:08:35,545
through may 18th is national police week in navajo county.

872
01:08:37,155 --> 01:08:39,645
turn the time over. Hey, how are you?

873
01:08:41,425 --> 01:08:45,325
I'm well, thank you chairman. Uh, its supervisors staff. Thank you

874
01:08:45,445 --> 01:08:49,085
for letting us have this opportunity today to come to you. As the sheriff

875
01:08:49,475 --> 01:08:53,245
said earlier in the month about the, uh, proclamations may seems to be proclamation

876
01:08:53,805 --> 01:08:57,165
month, uh, this week, uh, or this time,

877
01:08:57,825 --> 01:09:01,725
I'm gonna ask for consideration for proclamation for national police

878
01:09:02,075 --> 01:09:05,945
week. Uh, 1962, president kennedy proclaimed may 15th

879
01:09:06,585 --> 01:09:10,345
is national peace officer memorial day and the calendar week in which may 15th

880
01:09:11,175 --> 01:09:15,085
falls as national police week. And whereas the law

881
01:09:15,285 --> 01:09:18,515
enforcement members of the navajo county sheriff's office play an important role

882
01:09:19,305 --> 01:09:23,045
in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of the citizens of our community. And whereas

883
01:09:23,425 --> 01:09:27,145
it is important that all citizens know and understand the problems, the duties, the

884
01:09:27,725 --> 01:09:31,725
responsibilities of their sheriff's office, and members of our office recognize

885
01:09:31,925 --> 01:09:35,575
their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property, protecting

886
01:09:36,245 --> 01:09:40,005
them against violence or disorder, and protecting the innocent against deception

887
01:09:40,545 --> 01:09:44,505
and the weak against oppression or intimidation. And whereas our sheriff's office has

888
01:09:44,735 --> 01:09:48,555
grown to be a modern and scientific law enforcement agency, which unceasingly

889
01:09:49,245 --> 01:09:53,205
provides a vital public service, I'm gonna ask that the ma that

890
01:09:53,405 --> 01:09:57,065
the board of supervisors, uh, proclaim the, the week of

891
01:09:57,425 --> 01:09:59,345

893
01:10:05,505 --> 01:10:09,065
the men and women whose diligence and professionalism keep our county and

895
01:10:13,565 --> 01:10:16,485

897
01:10:22,365 --> 01:10:26,245
sworn law enforcement officers that serve this county each and every day,

898
01:10:26,425 --> 01:10:30,425
all 10,000 square miles of it. Uh, it's not an easy job, it's a taxing

899
01:10:30,845 --> 01:10:34,665
job. Uh, it's 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And, uh,

900
01:10:35,315 --> 01:10:39,205
it's again, with great pride bill to come up here and, and, and advocate on behalf of the men

901
01:10:39,365 --> 01:10:43,325
and women to serve at the navajo county sheriff's office. Uh, and I just ask

902
01:10:43,525 --> 01:10:47,285
that, that you guys would consider this proclamation at this time.

903
01:10:48,365 --> 01:10:51,845
I have any questions if y'all have any, you have any questions,

904
01:10:52,405 --> 01:10:56,185
comments? No. I just appreciate your service. Uh, everybody's service in

905
01:10:56,425 --> 01:10:58,365
law enforcement that they do. Uh, it's, uh,

906
01:11:00,585 --> 01:11:04,505
you know, it, it is sad the changes of our time, uh, that we rec

907
01:11:04,775 --> 01:11:08,555
don't recognize fully how much you guys put your life

908
01:11:08,905 --> 01:11:12,525
on the line, your risk on the line, the unappreciation that comes

909
01:11:13,115 --> 01:11:16,885
from a part of the public. But thank you for what

910
01:11:17,125 --> 01:11:20,765
you do and thank you for each person and your staff as well as every peace officer.

911
01:11:21,805 --> 01:11:25,745
I think we're coming up on close to our year of, uh, the

912
01:11:25,965 --> 01:11:29,885
peace officer officer memorial that we put up about a year ago and just remembering,

913
01:11:30,665 --> 01:11:34,585
uh, that we got through this year without adding a name to that wall. And

914
01:11:34,845 --> 01:11:38,645
I think that's something that's special in, in navajo county as well too. So thank

915
01:11:38,965 --> 01:11:42,135
you. And for everyone else, that service, appreciate it. Thank you, supervisor.

925
01:12:23,975 --> 01:12:27,845
collective, um, uh, a partnership that is

926
01:12:28,405 --> 01:12:32,285
valuable, um, that honors and respects the citizens of the

927
01:12:32,445 --> 01:12:36,305
county. So I appreciate that I had the opportunity, um,

928
01:12:37,145 --> 01:12:40,745

my, I do have a question. Go ahead. Um, I,

1015
01:20:08,885 --> 01:20:12,545
I see I'm seeing what I'm reading up there, which is not

1016
01:20:13,145 --> 01:20:17,035
on, on my, um, agenda here.

1017
01:20:17,945 --> 01:20:21,925
um, there's supposed to be some other materials that

1018
01:20:22,345 --> 01:20:26,345
are supposed to be purchased for this road, um,

1019
01:20:26,565 --> 01:20:29,365
segment. And is that

1020
01:20:30,725 --> 01:20:34,575
included or is that right now where,

1021
01:20:35,305 --> 01:20:39,045
the way ndot has communicated to us the work that they will be doing,

1022
01:20:39,535 --> 01:20:43,155
uhhuh is only gra gravel placement. So that's what this,

1023
01:20:43,705 --> 01:20:47,645
uh, task agreement or attachment is for the remainder of the work. I

1024
01:20:47,765 --> 01:20:51,685
think, uh, between ndot and bi, they will decide what will work will

1025
01:20:51,885 --> 01:20:55,825
be done, and that can be captured later on. But, uh, if

1026
01:20:56,045 --> 01:20:59,805
you look at the memo that's part of this, uh, packet, that's the work that they're

1027
01:21:00,085 --> 01:21:03,125
requesting right now, gravel placement. Thank you.

1035
01:21:35,165 --> 01:21:38,895
c, planning development, public hearing, consideration of civil

1036
01:21:39,605 --> 01:21:43,395
adoption of resolution number 17 dash 2024 approving

1037
01:21:44,005 --> 01:21:47,185
or denying a text amendment to article 20, section 2001,

1038
01:21:48,235 --> 01:21:51,835
article 25, section 25 18 of the navajo county zoning ordinance

1039
01:21:52,755 --> 01:21:56,725
regarding institutional residences and other group homes which do not qualify

1040
01:21:57,225 --> 01:22:01,205
as group homes for the disabled. Cody. Alright, mr. Chairman, vice chairman,

1041
01:22:01,395 --> 01:22:04,885
supervisors, I appreciate your time this morning. Uh, late last year,

1042
01:22:05,695 --> 01:22:09,405
staff was instructed to take a look at our group home policies within the navajo county zoning

1043
01:22:09,725 --> 01:22:13,605
ordinance and see if any updates were necessary to this. Um, since that

1044
01:22:13,765 --> 01:22:17,765
time, staff has investigated, done some research, and today we're bringing forward the

1045
01:22:17,965 --> 01:22:21,865
recommendations that we've made through our research. Um, so

1046
01:22:22,085 --> 01:22:26,025
this is for group homes that would not qualify as group homes for the disabled staff is

1047
01:22:26,245 --> 01:22:30,005
not touching that at all. We're just breaking it out in it into its own section under group

1048
01:22:30,285 --> 01:22:33,505
homes in the same format that currently exists. Um,

1049
01:22:34,785 --> 01:22:38,685
the institutional residence is another group. Homes is a little bit of a mouthful, so if

1050
01:22:38,805 --> 01:22:42,745
I'm just referring to it as group homes for the sake, um, please understand that's the, the

1051
01:22:43,165 --> 01:22:47,085
reference here. So staff has taken a look at the

1052
01:22:47,205 --> 01:22:51,045
zoning ordinance and noted areas where we believe there needs

1053
01:22:51,245 --> 01:22:55,125
to be some updates to these. Uh, our recommendations are strongly

1054
01:22:55,335 --> 01:22:58,885
based on these types of standards, but we wanted to create, um, something

1055
01:22:59,455 --> 01:23:03,245
clear and concrete so the public and the developers coming in wishing to make these facilities

1056
01:23:03,805 --> 01:23:07,245
fully understand what's expected of staff in the county for these types of group homes.

1057
01:23:08,865 --> 01:23:12,865
so the, the new section for these group homes does note that special use

1058
01:23:13,085 --> 01:23:16,825
permits would still be required as are currently required, um,

1059
01:23:17,465 --> 01:23:21,405
but only would be entertained within the multifamily, which is r two and r three, and the

1060
01:23:21,565 --> 01:23:25,325
commercial residential, which is another form of, uh, multifamily as well.

1061
01:23:26,985 --> 01:23:30,765
within this staff recommended adding some performance standards and requirements

1062
01:23:31,245 --> 01:23:35,045
for these group homes. With that, it would be a 1200 foot separation between

1063
01:23:35,345 --> 01:23:38,765
any of the group homes, so you don't end up with neighborhoods with these, uh, cluster developments

1064
01:23:39,365 --> 01:23:43,195
on these so that there's some spacing adequately a 1200 foot

1065
01:23:43,485 --> 01:23:47,285
separation from any religious, educational or childcare facilities, which is pretty typical

1066
01:23:47,705 --> 01:23:51,445
for a facility of this nature. Um, those previously noted zoning

1067
01:23:52,085 --> 01:23:55,925
districts, we did take a look at the occupancy limits as well. Um, dhs

1068
01:23:56,365 --> 01:24:00,155
allows up to two beds per bedroom within these facilities. When

1069
01:24:00,605 --> 01:24:04,435
looking at multifamily, uh, we wanted to look at keeping those as more

1070
01:24:04,725 --> 01:24:08,565
residential and blending if they were brought forward. Uh, so we're recommending that

1071
01:24:08,835 --> 01:24:12,725
that only be up to one resident per bedroom, uh, so that it fits more with the,

1072
01:24:12,945 --> 01:24:16,685
the community around it. And then for that commercial, residential as those would be

1073
01:24:17,005 --> 01:24:20,715
expected to be more of the, the commercial, um, higher density uses

1074
01:24:21,225 --> 01:24:25,125
up to two residents for every bedroom. Um, but not requiring that it

1075
01:24:25,325 --> 01:24:29,325
is two residents per bedroom. So that would still leave the, uh, ability to review and make

1076
01:24:29,445 --> 01:24:33,365
sure there was adequate space within those facilities. As far

1077
01:24:33,485 --> 01:24:37,035
as the exterior appearance, we had recommended for the multi-family, similar

1078
01:24:37,585 --> 01:24:41,205
to the occupancy that, uh, this blend in with the residential nature

1079
01:24:41,705 --> 01:24:45,645
of any neighborhoods, if it was going through on a special use permit. And so with that, there would

1080
01:24:45,765 --> 01:24:49,445
be no sign or exterior indication that there's a facility there and then

1081
01:24:49,885 --> 01:24:53,885
a solid wall or fence around any side or rear yards. Um, we don't want these things

1082
01:24:54,045 --> 01:24:57,945
turning into compounds, but we would like some screening neighbors tend to to

1083
01:24:58,225 --> 01:25:01,945
be concerned about that. As far as the cr uh,

1084
01:25:02,385 --> 01:25:06,045
we just require that the, the signage and exterior would comply with the zoning

1085
01:25:06,765 --> 01:25:10,045
district standards that exist there. We've also looked at parking.

1086
01:25:10,905 --> 01:25:14,605
uh, that tends to be a, a worry of neighbors around these types of facilities

1087
01:25:15,705 --> 01:25:19,625
and have recommended that of course they would comply with all parking standards and

1088
01:25:19,845 --> 01:25:23,725
then also that there would be no parking allowed with any street or right of way. So those not to impede

1089
01:25:24,085 --> 01:25:27,885
traffic within any region. Uh, with this, we've also

1090
01:25:28,155 --> 01:25:31,965
recommended that there be the requirement that, and we require this of all projects, but

1091
01:25:32,165 --> 01:25:36,125
we want it clear to everyone that there's compliance with building environmental health

1092
01:25:36,625 --> 01:25:40,565
and fire safety. And then finally, uh, a requirement that the state

1093
01:25:40,785 --> 01:25:44,445
has, but we want to reiterate is that all licensing from the state would be

1094
01:25:44,845 --> 01:25:48,805
required for these facilities as well. Staff did

1095
01:25:49,005 --> 01:25:52,985
bring this in front of the navajo county planning and zoning commission at that commission hearing. We

1096
01:25:53,205 --> 01:25:56,905
did receive unanimous recommendation of approval for this. Um,

1097
01:25:57,265 --> 01:26:01,165
as staff is bringing this to you today, we're recommending approval. Uh, we feel this meets

1098
01:26:01,445 --> 01:26:05,315
the, the needs of our comprehensive plan and, and will fit in with the zoning ordinance. Well,

1099
01:26:06,345 --> 01:26:10,245
as of today, we've received no public comments as far as this proposal, either through hearings

1100
01:26:10,745 --> 01:26:14,745
or mailed into us or phone calls, um, staff's available for

1101
01:26:14,965 --> 01:26:18,595
any questions if you might have them. Thank you. Thank you, cody. Alright,

1102
01:26:19,375 --> 01:26:23,275
appreciate that. This is actually a, uh, public hearing, so we will open

1103
01:26:24,385 --> 01:26:28,045
it up for the public hearing portion of it. Is there any members of the public we to speak

1104
01:26:28,545 --> 01:26:29,525
on this item at this time?

1105
01:26:33,075 --> 01:26:37,045
okay. Not hearing any. We'll close the public hearing and now we'll move to the

1106
01:26:37,165 --> 01:26:41,125
board discussion. Any members of the board that have questions

1107
01:26:41,435 --> 01:26:45,345
they would like to ask staff? Um,

1108
01:26:45,905 --> 01:26:49,635
and chairman, I have a question. Um, I have a question on the occupancy.

1109
01:26:50,545 --> 01:26:54,445
so there are two, so there's the r two and r three, there's

1110
01:26:54,925 --> 01:26:58,785
a one resident for every bedroom with the resident, correct. So,

1111
01:26:59,465 --> 01:27:03,365
and then there's the cr mm-hmm. Up to two resident. Can you explain the

1112
01:27:03,565 --> 01:27:07,005
difference to me? Yeah. Um, so our r two and r three neighborhoods,

1113
01:27:07,595 --> 01:27:11,565
they, they tend to be multifamily. Sometimes you will find single family homes in there where

1114
01:27:11,805 --> 01:27:15,755
someone has chosen not to take advantage of that. They just prefer to have their single family home.

1115
01:27:16,705 --> 01:27:20,565
um, so within those neighborhoods it's pretty much only limited to these

1116
01:27:20,735 --> 01:27:24,685
residences. And we wanted to keep the nature of those facilities similar to those

1117
01:27:24,815 --> 01:27:28,685
residences around them. We didn't want, uh, a lot of people packed into these

1118
01:27:28,845 --> 01:27:32,805
types of areas, um, where it's very clear that they're a distinct and different use from

1119
01:27:32,965 --> 01:27:36,125
their neighbors. We'd like this to, to be harmonious within those neighborhoods.

1120
01:27:37,265 --> 01:27:41,125
and then our commercial residential, um, that does allow for the multifamily, but it also

1121
01:27:41,365 --> 01:27:45,345
allows for commercial type facilities. Um, those tend to be on

1122
01:27:45,565 --> 01:27:49,525
the very outskirts of neighborhoods or along a lot of our highways and major roads that we

1123
01:27:49,645 --> 01:27:53,215
have here within the county. And so for that we wanted to encourage for those facilities

1124
01:27:53,885 --> 01:27:57,425
that are more intensive and that are more commercial in nature, um,

1125
01:27:57,925 --> 01:28:01,765
a lot where you'll have like the inpatient and the treatment and otherwise that it could be

1126
01:28:02,165 --> 01:28:06,045
considered up to those two residences. But we also still want to make sure that there's adequate space

1127
01:28:06,365 --> 01:28:09,565
for those residents so that they're getting, um, proper treatment while they're,

1128
01:28:11,315 --> 01:28:14,745
that was my question. So in thinking about, um,

1129
01:28:16,625 --> 01:28:20,445
the square footage of an average bedroom, um, and you, we have

1130
01:28:20,745 --> 01:28:24,205
two occupants. So do you have to articulate

1131
01:28:24,845 --> 01:28:28,785
that or is that just something that's given? So we haven't articulated any

1132
01:28:29,005 --> 01:28:32,705
minimum square footage. I I'm sure it's something that we can look at and

1133
01:28:33,165 --> 01:28:36,685
consider. Um, you know, really what we're looking at is they, they're

1134
01:28:37,285 --> 01:28:41,185
required to give us layouts of these bedrooms and otherwise you wanna make sure that the

1135
01:28:41,645 --> 01:28:45,505
facility has the, within itself and around it, the infrastructure that's capable of

1136
01:28:45,965 --> 01:28:49,715
handling that type of density. Um, so there'd be a number of considerations made

1137
01:28:50,005 --> 01:28:53,965
there as far as like, are you on paved roads? Do you have sewer, do you have

1138
01:28:54,045 --> 01:28:58,045
water on site? And then within the bedrooms, are those truly adequate enough to handle

1139
01:28:58,315 --> 01:29:01,905
more than one resident per bedroom? And that's not to say that we would, uh,

1140
01:29:02,475 --> 01:29:06,445
necessarily just blanket, uh, recommend that there be two residents per bedroom.

1141
01:29:06,755 --> 01:29:09,325
we'd wanna look at that on a case by case basis and make sure it's appropriate.

1142
01:29:12,275 --> 01:29:16,085
okay. I appreciate that. Thank you. I know we had this discussion previously

1143
01:29:16,305 --> 01:29:20,205
on occupancy and that's why I was asking for clarification. Thank you.

1144
01:29:20,365 --> 01:29:23,645
absolutely. Thank you. Any more discussion? I just appreciate,

1145
01:29:24,385 --> 01:29:28,085
uh, the effort that you put forth and your, your staff are doing this.

1146
01:29:28,435 --> 01:29:32,405
also, you've addressed parking to try to make it appealing to the

1147
01:29:32,565 --> 01:29:36,565
other neighbors and things there. So I think you guys have done a great job. This is something that

1148
01:29:36,945 --> 01:29:40,765
you know is needed and, and it will be a case by case deal. So it's

1149
01:29:41,005 --> 01:29:44,945
great. I appreciate it. Thank you. Any

1150
01:29:45,165 --> 01:29:48,435

consideration of intergovernment agreement between navajo county flood control

1175
01:31:43,565 --> 01:31:47,445

01:31:48,085 --> 01:31:51,505
improvement project in the amount of a hundred thousand. Uh, mr. Perkins,

1177
01:31:52,605 --> 01:31:55,965
thanks for being with us today. Good morning.

vice chairman al and other supervisors and all that are here.

1180
01:32:06,645 --> 01:32:10,525
I have to put on my glasses, the pulpit's too far away. I've gotta hold

1181
01:32:10,725 --> 01:32:14,625
the paper up to my face. So the motion that we're bringing before

1182
01:32:15,045 --> 01:32:18,835
you is for consideration of the, uh, intergovernmental agreement between

1183
01:32:19,325 --> 01:32:23,005
navajo county flood control district and the silver creek flood control

1184
01:32:23,645 --> 01:32:27,565
district for financial assistance. They're seeking a hundred thousand

1185
01:32:27,685 --> 01:32:31,545
dollars on this project. Um, we, we

1186
01:32:32,085 --> 01:32:35,765
recognize that the, uh, that they're requesting

1187
01:32:36,285 --> 01:32:39,885
this money and that it's for value engineering on the millet swale

1188
01:32:40,325 --> 01:32:44,165
drainage improvement project. The purpose of this

1189
01:32:44,565 --> 01:32:48,465
iga is to authorize the county to partner financially as

1190
01:32:48,685 --> 01:32:52,205
navajo county flood control district and as silver creek flood control

1191
01:32:52,925 --> 01:32:56,785
district. Both of our districts, uh, recognize and, and,

1192
01:32:57,185 --> 01:33:00,965
uh, share a common interest to improve the millet swell drainage

1193
01:33:01,525 --> 01:33:04,925
area to help reduce the chance of future flooding.

1194
01:33:05,585 --> 01:33:09,485
and as you may know that there, uh, has been some, there was a breach

1195
01:33:09,705 --> 01:33:13,705
in 2021 of the millet swell and, uh,

1196
01:33:13,935 --> 01:33:15,845
staff is recommending approval of this.

1197
01:33:18,275 --> 01:33:22,205
perfect. Thank you questions. I

1198
01:33:22,325 --> 01:33:26,325

1199
01:33:26,525 --> 01:33:30,405
partnership with them and looking at solutions. Thank you very much for doing that.

1200
01:33:31,225 --> 01:33:35,095
um, if no other questions chair

1201
01:33:35,445 --> 01:33:36,125

1211
01:34:19,805 --> 01:34:23,765
county business update. Mr. Carline, do you have anything to update? No, this, not this meeting.

1212
01:34:24,005 --> 01:34:27,245
thank you. Thank you. Mr. Leighton. Not today.

1213
01:34:28,135 --> 01:34:31,905
supervisor seymour, I just want to say

1214
01:34:32,385 --> 01:34:35,675
congratulations to all those who are graduating, whether it be from

1215
01:34:36,745 --> 01:34:40,565
one grade to the next, or whether it be from high school going on to college or college

1216
01:34:40,805 --> 01:34:44,725
degrees. You know, I think life is, is great. And the challenges they have,

1217
01:34:45,845 --> 01:34:49,765
I just want to, I was on an airplane, uh, recently and it was interesting.

1218
01:34:50,475 --> 01:34:53,845
everybody waits forever to get on the plane. We get on, we sat down

1219
01:34:55,545 --> 01:34:58,820
and you wait and you wait. And finally they start backing up from the gate.

1220
01:34:59,865 --> 01:35:03,085
but then a person raised their hand and started shouting. They went off the plane.

1221
01:35:04,545 --> 01:35:08,425
and so we stop and now we have to go back to

1222
01:35:08,645 --> 01:35:12,525
the gate. We have to let that person off. Everybody that's

1223
01:35:12,845 --> 01:35:16,845
on the plane is probably irritated. They're not their

1224
01:35:17,005 --> 01:35:21,005
best friends. It was a disrupting of their time, not knowing what other people

1225
01:35:21,425 --> 01:35:25,285
of everybody on the plane now is going to be delayed from the people from

1226
01:35:25,565 --> 01:35:29,485
there. But I don't know the reason. I don't know why the person had what they

1227
01:35:29,645 --> 01:35:33,585
had, but it was important to them. And I think that today we

1228
01:35:33,805 --> 01:35:37,805
have people that certain things are more important to them, but we try to

1229
01:35:37,925 --> 01:35:41,165
listen and we try to hear and we try to make the best that we can of everything.

1230
01:35:42,065 --> 01:35:46,045
and so I respect the process that we have in place

1231
01:35:46,505 --> 01:35:49,965
to listen, to share, and to do the business of the county

1232
01:35:51,025 --> 01:35:55,025
in the eyes of the public. And I appreciate the people here of

1233
01:35:55,245 --> 01:35:59,125
navajo county and the citizens of navajo county. And I just

1234
01:35:59,285 --> 01:36:03,245
wish you all the best and, and a great summer and a great spring. And may we

1235
01:36:03,685 --> 01:36:07,265
continue to work together to unite, continue to be

1236
01:36:07,805 --> 01:36:11,525
positive and continue to rely upon, uh, heavenly

1237
01:36:12,045 --> 01:36:15,825
father who loves and will preserve and bless us as we serve him.

1238
01:36:16,295 --> 01:36:20,245
thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. Supervisor

1239
01:36:20,885 --> 01:36:24,605
seymour. Supervisor , do you have anything to update us with?

1240
01:36:25,945 --> 01:36:29,805
um, not during this meeting chair. I would prefer in person at the next meeting. Thank

1241
01:36:30,125 --> 01:36:33,795
you. Okay. Thank you. And good to have you with us today. Supervisor weisinger.

1242
01:36:35,105 --> 01:36:37,065
uh, thank you chairman. Um,

1243
01:36:39,325 --> 01:36:43,145
I was able to attend the inauguration. I know that there were several of us who

1244
01:36:43,605 --> 01:36:47,075
attended the inauguration for the white mountain apache tribal community

1245
01:36:48,055 --> 01:36:51,395
where they had, um, four elected new individuals

1246
01:36:52,185 --> 01:36:56,145
for the, um, council membership. And

1247
01:36:56,365 --> 01:37:00,185
so we're grateful for the partnership and thank you for each of you who

1248
01:37:00,405 --> 01:37:04,225
took the time, um, to attend that inauguration. And

1249
01:37:04,445 --> 01:37:08,065
also to think about, um, our partnership from navajo county.

1250
01:37:08,625 --> 01:37:12,315
so thank you for that. Um, there was also several community

1251
01:37:12,925 --> 01:37:16,805
meetings within the tribal community. One of those things

1252
01:37:17,085 --> 01:37:21,045
that they're looking at is public safety and first response. And this is something

1253
01:37:21,645 --> 01:37:25,445
that I know, um, katrina and the sheriff, they've attended

1254
01:37:26,085 --> 01:37:29,925
meetings as well in mcnary. And this is

1255
01:37:30,245 --> 01:37:34,005
a meeting that they're having in white river to be able to develop

1256
01:37:34,605 --> 01:37:38,295
a plan if there happens to be an emergency. And there

1257
01:37:38,665 --> 01:37:41,955
aren't first responders who have the ability to quickly respond.

1258
01:37:43,025 --> 01:37:46,925
how do citizens support, uh, the communication to ensure

1259
01:37:47,315 --> 01:37:51,315
that everybody within the public is aware, uh, of the emergency

1260
01:37:51,985 --> 01:37:55,845
and how they, um, can work together. So I, I was grateful to

1261
01:37:56,045 --> 01:37:58,885
be able to have the invite to listen to that conversation

1262
01:38:00,105 --> 01:38:03,625
and also the investment of community members who, um,

1263
01:38:04,995 --> 01:38:08,925
were concerned for their citizens. Uh, this past weekend or

1264
01:38:09,125 --> 01:38:12,215
two weekends ago, uh, the fort apache heritage foundation,

1265
01:38:13,235 --> 01:38:16,915
they had a groundbreaking ceremony. If you haven't been

1266
01:38:17,385 --> 01:38:20,735
to the, for apache, um, site, there

1267
01:38:21,545 --> 01:38:25,525
are old historic buildings there. Um, some of them are very beautiful.

1268
01:38:26,085 --> 01:38:29,605
they've done a great job of restoring the buildings. Um, there's one particular

1269
01:38:30,405 --> 01:38:33,115
building, it used to be called the, uh, the boys dormitory.

1270
01:38:34,425 --> 01:38:36,865
and that building is being, um,

1271
01:38:39,155 --> 01:38:42,475
remodeled. Um, and they will be utilizing

1272
01:38:43,435 --> 01:38:47,235
that space for office space, um, in the future, hopefully residential

1273
01:38:47,975 --> 01:38:51,325
space. Um, but that's pretty exciting to be able to see

1274
01:38:52,145 --> 01:38:55,925
the movement of that particular building. And there are a lot of people including

1275
01:38:56,785 --> 01:39:00,665
our own, um, rochelle oppa, who sits as,

1276
01:39:01,025 --> 01:39:04,565
um, the board chair of that particular board. So thank you to rochelle

1277
01:39:05,425 --> 01:39:09,245
in her work. And, um, I serve also on that board,

1278
01:39:09,625 --> 01:39:13,485
so we're grateful to be able to participate in that conversation. One of the things

1279
01:39:13,645 --> 01:39:17,375
is also, I think I mentioned that, but the conference center area, there

1280
01:39:17,725 --> 01:39:21,645
will be conference space, which we know when we look throughout the mountains, sometimes it's difficult

1281
01:39:22,005 --> 01:39:25,755
to find a space to have a meeting. So we're, um, we look forward to being able

1282
01:39:26,045 --> 01:39:29,845
to have, um, that's based and along the same

1283
01:39:30,055 --> 01:39:33,645
lines of, um, supervisor seymour in thinking about,

1284
01:39:34,345 --> 01:39:38,025
um, opportunities for us to be able to, um,

1285
01:39:38,835 --> 01:39:42,715
move together, move forward together as citizens. I was recently invited

1286
01:39:43,225 --> 01:39:46,225
to a passover meal where we shared

1287
01:39:47,405 --> 01:39:51,365
a seder um, dinner. And um, I was really

1288
01:39:51,845 --> 01:39:55,795
grateful to be able to be among my neighbors and, um, different members from

1289
01:39:56,085 --> 01:39:59,985
our community and to be able to learn about, um, the

1290
01:40:00,445 --> 01:40:04,065
practices of another faith, but also really about, um,

1291
01:40:04,515 --> 01:40:07,785
sitting at this table and, um,

1292
01:40:08,655 --> 01:40:12,205
being able to respect one another and share opportunity for prayer.

1293
01:40:13,065 --> 01:40:16,825
so, um, I too am grateful for that. And um,

1294
01:40:19,045 --> 01:40:21,445
I think those are some of the big highlights, but thank you so much.

1295
01:40:23,695 --> 01:40:25,955
thank you. Uh, vice chairman benelli,

1296
01:40:28,225 --> 01:40:31,795
uh, thank you chair and supervisors. Um, I do have,

1297
01:40:32,305 --> 01:40:36,225
um, a little report. I did go out to the

1298
01:40:36,445 --> 01:40:39,985
western interstate region conference out in yosemite and

1299
01:40:41,145 --> 01:40:44,785
it was a little difficult because I couldn't call out for,

1300
01:40:45,825 --> 01:40:49,065
for the sake of anything, but I was able to text out

1301
01:40:50,025 --> 01:40:52,465
and, um, until I came back out, um,

1302
01:40:54,195 --> 01:40:57,795
into the, I guess more, uh, city-like area

1303
01:40:58,865 --> 01:41:02,425
and got to learn about the trees and the

1304
01:41:03,315 --> 01:41:07,115
fire mitigation and how they do certain things with,

1305
01:41:07,505 --> 01:41:11,505
um, collaboration with the us

1306
01:41:12,715 --> 01:41:15,605
four service and the state and the counties.

1307
01:41:17,065 --> 01:41:20,745
and out there we did go on a, like a field trip. So

1308
01:41:21,505 --> 01:41:25,425
we went up to the woods and see, saw all sorts of piles of, um,

1309
01:41:25,675 --> 01:41:29,105
wood that were sawed to a certain size and

1310
01:41:30,395 --> 01:41:34,195
they would, um, have it there for work,

1311
01:41:34,795 --> 01:41:38,585
work it out. So they're, they're burned in the winter

1312
01:41:39,155 --> 01:41:43,075
time so that things won't catch fire. And also

1313
01:41:43,505 --> 01:41:47,265
the giant sequoias who got see some of those and those are,

1314
01:41:47,745 --> 01:41:51,395
um, protected and many, they are also planted

1315
01:41:52,145 --> 01:41:55,465
new ones. So those are baby sequoias and

1316
01:41:56,345 --> 01:42:00,035
the sugar pine trees, they grow really tall

1317
01:42:00,705 --> 01:42:03,905
and I've never seen such tall trees in,

1318
01:42:04,745 --> 01:42:08,395
in my life and they grow over 200 feet.

1319
01:42:09,145 --> 01:42:12,395
so that was quite interesting. Different

1320
01:42:13,155 --> 01:42:16,745
variety. Seen a different variety of plants as well as

1321
01:42:17,625 --> 01:42:19,305
um, forage and um,

1322
01:42:22,665 --> 01:42:26,135
but we didn't, I didn't see wildflowers until I came back south

1323
01:42:27,115 --> 01:42:30,745
into the southern california and

1324
01:42:32,485 --> 01:42:36,485
I didn't realize that um, the northern

1325
01:42:36,705 --> 01:42:38,945
lights was gonna happen. Um,

1326
01:42:40,825 --> 01:42:44,525
so I left and earlier than I was

1327
01:42:44,925 --> 01:42:48,625
supposed to and I was like, oh darn, I'm missing the

1328
01:42:49,045 --> 01:42:52,585
northern lights. But oh well I came home and

1329
01:42:54,085 --> 01:42:58,045
saturday night and I did see the northern lights from my home

1330
01:42:58,265 --> 01:43:02,185
on black mesa so that was really interesting to

1331
01:43:02,945 --> 01:43:06,425
see. And all in all, it was

1332
01:43:06,965 --> 01:43:10,575
a good alerting experience regarding fire, um, medication,

1333
01:43:11,545 --> 01:43:15,155
how the county state and yes for service work

1334
01:43:15,765 --> 01:43:19,405
together. And thank you chair, back to you.

1335
01:43:20,615 --> 01:43:24,605
thank you. Appreciate it. Alright, um, just a

1336
01:43:24,725 --> 01:43:27,985
couple of items tour that we just recently did. We had

1337
01:43:28,875 --> 01:43:32,305
leaders from across arizona that we brought together to, um,

1338
01:43:32,955 --> 01:43:36,435
talk about arizona's forest and what's going on within that. And so we had different

1339
01:43:37,045 --> 01:43:40,205
county leadership. We had people quite a few from the legislature,

1340
01:43:41,545 --> 01:43:45,405
um, but we brought leaders from across arizona together. And it's

1341
01:43:45,605 --> 01:43:49,165
always interesting, I think a lot of times people that aren't in the force don't really understand

1342
01:43:49,705 --> 01:43:53,685
the relationship between the, the watershed and our force and how it plays

1343
01:43:53,995 --> 01:43:57,555
into how, I mean it impacts the daily life of all arizonans,

1344
01:43:58,185 --> 01:44:01,945
not just those of us that live here. And so it was a great conversation. Um,

1345
01:44:02,405 --> 01:44:06,075
a lot of great people that were interested in helping. Another

1346
01:44:06,925 --> 01:44:10,665
interesting thing that we found is people with good desires that want to help but

1347
01:44:11,665 --> 01:44:15,645
are jumping in to help in an area that maybe help is not needed. And so what we really tried

1348
01:44:15,925 --> 01:44:19,915
to create was a situation where these leaders all came and then they got to hear firsthand

1349
01:44:21,115 --> 01:44:24,845
from industry and people that are actually in the forest working that. So they heard

1350
01:44:25,155 --> 01:44:29,145
from the forest service, they heard from the loggers, they heard from all

1351
01:44:29,365 --> 01:44:33,205
the different stakeholders. They gotta talk about what's currently happening and where

1352
01:44:33,525 --> 01:44:37,245
the problems are, where the successes have happened. There are a lot of

1353
01:44:37,605 --> 01:44:41,425
positive things that have gone on. We've moved to where we've almost doubled, um, in the last 10

1354
01:44:41,645 --> 01:44:45,565
years. The amount of acres that are being treated to log and our forest,

1355
01:44:45,925 --> 01:44:49,805
a lot of that being here in the apache sick grapes. Um, but there's always

1356
01:44:50,515 --> 01:44:54,405
some hurdles and they got a chance to speak rather than us saying it for them

1357
01:44:54,755 --> 01:44:58,585
here firsthand, which is good because it created alignments now to

1358
01:44:58,805 --> 01:45:02,485
where people with good intentions aren't working from different perspectives where we're better aligned

1359
01:45:02,885 --> 01:45:06,445
in that conversation. So that was good. Also had a chance to attend.

1360
01:45:07,025 --> 01:45:09,905
uh, my chairs as you know, the real az um,

1361
01:45:11,375 --> 01:45:15,315
the real az group that's the regional economic development group for apache and

1362
01:45:15,395 --> 01:45:19,275
navajo county. It's been something that's been important to all of us. It's been important

1363
01:45:19,475 --> 01:45:23,225
to me for a long time. I sat on it when I was on the snowflake town council and then obviously

1364
01:45:23,835 --> 01:45:27,795
since I've been on the board here and part of the hope always was that it would continue

1365
01:45:27,955 --> 01:45:31,595
to grow. Membership would grow, we'd attract and bring new industry and businesses,

1366
01:45:32,295 --> 01:45:36,015
but someday when we grew up, hopefully we'd be able to go out and hire an

1367
01:45:36,475 --> 01:45:40,235
economic development person. And having chris be in that position, of course, where shell

1368
01:45:40,515 --> 01:45:44,435
did a tremendous job and got kind of some, some legs and feet underneath

1369
01:45:44,835 --> 01:45:48,675
it with the foundation. But chris has done an absolutely tremendous job over the last

1370
01:45:48,895 --> 01:45:52,245
six months that he's been there. He had a chance to be able to talk and share

1371
01:45:53,195 --> 01:45:57,035
a lot of the, a report that showed a lot of the different businesses that he's currently communicating

1372
01:45:57,275 --> 01:46:01,275
with, those that he could appropriately name and did. He did, but he shared

1373
01:46:01,675 --> 01:46:05,275
a report with the larger group and anybody that was curious what chris is doing

1374
01:46:06,125 --> 01:46:09,995
would have a hard, would be pretty hard pressed to see how hard he's actually working and how

1375
01:46:10,155 --> 01:46:13,435
many different organizations and companies he's working with existing

1376
01:46:14,235 --> 01:46:18,235
businesses to help them to sustain themselves to grow if they're so desiring. As well as new

1377
01:46:18,635 --> 01:46:22,315
businesses that are looking into the area and helping them with that. So really

1378
01:46:22,715 --> 01:46:26,715
appreciate him and his efforts. So been a good productive last couple weeks. We obviously

1379
01:46:27,035 --> 01:46:30,955
have county supervisors association on thursday and I, I plan

1380
01:46:31,155 --> 01:46:34,875
to be there down in the valley. And, uh, anyways, hope everybody's doing well.

1381
01:46:35,695 --> 01:46:39,435
we, uh, with that we stand adjourned. Thanks everybody. Appreciate it.

1382
01:46:39,845 --> 01:46:40,195
thank you.
