[13:24] i did some of this volunteering in

[25:50] year is miss morgan peterson second

[25:52] grade teacher and she was nominated by a

[25:54] fifth grade student that had her a few

[25:56] years ago but she left that kind of

[25:58] lasting impression so

[26:00] this is our goal

[26:06] miss grant

[26:07] i am kim grant principal at mountain

[26:08] view elementary school and this is

[26:10] shannon gantz she's a fifth grade

[26:12] teacher and was nominated by one of her

[26:13] students because of all the care that

[26:15] she gives to them

[26:18] [Applause]

[26:24] good evening danette derrickson

[26:25] principal at liberty traditional school

[26:27] and this is troy carreras he's one of

[26:30] our fourth grade teachers nominated by

[26:32] one of our fifth grade students who had

[26:33] him last year and just her letter was

[26:36] one that said how much she

[26:38] loved him because he was always caring

[26:40] compassionate calm and quiet so

[26:49] court minor principal brash mountain

[26:51] high school we had dave kapka our ct

[26:54] instructor at the high school also

[26:55] softball coach who was

[26:58] brash mountain high school's teacher of

[26:59] the year

[27:01] excellent

[27:04] and i am dan streeter i am not the

[27:06] principal of coyote springs elementary

[27:08] school

[27:08] but i will stand in for candace

[27:11] where we were coyote was able to

[27:12] recognize jennifer ruiz who is one of

[27:15] the outstanding teachers on that campus

[27:17] that really does a phenomenal job of

[27:19] focusing our students on those skills

[27:21] that are needed beyond content knowledge

[27:23] you start talking about the four c's um

[27:26] coyote springs has always led the way

[27:28] and jennifer is one of those teachers

[27:29] that does that for us so please

[27:36] as jim mentioned i was there that night

[27:38] and just listening to each of the

[27:40] letters that were read i truly believe

[27:41] it was probably the hardest decision

[27:43] because every single person that was

[27:45] nominated and i'm sure there was a

[27:46] laundry list of other teachers that

[27:48] easily could have been up there as well

[27:50] and it was it was just truly amazing

[27:52] just to hear the impact they had on each

[27:54] of those students

[27:56] throughout the day i know it's a you

[27:57] guys hear it all the time and it's a

[27:58] thankless job and people take teachers

[28:01] for granted every single day and i just

[28:03] want to thank you for what you guys do

[28:09] mr mayor i want to thank the town um

[28:12] just

[28:13] the relationship that the school

[28:14] district has with the town i think is

[28:16] something that should be held up for for

[28:18] other places to see

[28:20] the support

[28:21] from

[28:23] council member grossman who's at all of

[28:25] our board meetings has always been a

[28:26] part of our advisory committees

[28:29] laura lee who's been a key who was a key

[28:30] driver in the development of our

[28:32] strategic plan

[28:34] rick anderson who

[28:36] was really one of the founding members

[28:38] of the humble education foundation and

[28:40] helped get that started and then to be

[28:42] able to welcome mayor palgouda not just

[28:45] to the position of mayor but into our

[28:48] district as he was as he mentioned at

[28:50] that event as well so we thank you for

[28:51] that we do have a couple teachers that

[28:53] aren't here because it doesn't end

[28:55] we have teachers that are currently on

[28:57] student council leadership trips on

[28:59] athletic events so this isn't everybody

[29:01] that was recognized that night but we do

[29:03] thank you guys for recognizing our

[29:04] teachers

[52:14] for not more than twenty four thousand

[52:15] dollars

[52:16] chief mayor council tonight i bring a

[52:20] powerpoint

[52:22] the request tonight here is for

[52:24] contingency funds to purchase a

[52:25] replacement vehicle for use by our pant

[52:28] detective and i hope when i'm done

[52:30] you'll see why

[52:32] so

[52:33] real quick

[52:34] partners against drunk driving it's a

[52:37] partner partners against narcotics

[52:39] trafficking

[52:40] is a multi-jurisdictional task force

[52:42] responsible for enforcement and

[52:44] investigation of state and federal drug

[52:46] offenses in yavapai county it operates

[52:49] under the command of the apple pie

[52:50] county sheriff's office they have one

[52:52] lieutenant

[52:53] and with oversight of a board consisting

[52:55] of the chief executives from each

[52:57] partner agency i am currently the

[52:59] co-chair of that board

[53:01] partner agencies include prescott valley

[53:03] yavapai county sheriff's office prescott

[53:06] chino valley cottonwood camp very

[53:08] marshall's office and sedona

[53:10] the pant lieutenant oversees two

[53:12] sergeants and 10 detectives

[53:15] pandas is proactive with undercover

[53:17] narcotics stings interstate highway

[53:19] narcotics and addictions and community

[53:22] outreach and education efforts

[53:25] prescott valley has provided staffing to

[53:27] pan since its inception in 1988.

[53:32] this is a picture of the current vehicle

[53:34] by that's used by our pant detective

[53:36] it's a 2007 toyota tundra pickup

[53:40] with just over 120 000 miles on it

[53:43] i'm going to go through a laundry list

[53:45] of mechanical and safety issues that

[53:47] have a direct correlation to the health

[53:49] and safety of our officer

[53:53] the suspension is failing it's quite

[53:55] noisy and frequently bottoms out

[53:59] the airbags i don't even know why it's

[54:01] on the list they don't work they're

[54:02] inoperable

[54:04] tires are almost completely bald and

[54:06] have not been replaced in at least nine

[54:08] years

[54:09] three of the four tires have either

[54:11] nails or screws lodged in them

[54:15] the vehicle does not have

[54:17] any emergency equipment like the

[54:19] overhead or red and blue lights or

[54:21] anything like that the air conditioner

[54:23] is barely working and in the middle of

[54:25] the summer does not cool the truck down

[54:28] our mechanic believes that the fuel pump

[54:29] is about to fail

[54:31] and it has a cracked windshield which is

[54:34] also a violation of the motor vehicle

[54:36] code of the state

[54:38] the vehicle was involved in a shooting

[54:40] and currently has two bullet holes in

[54:42] the driver's door and the tailgate

[54:47] that's the one in the door

[54:52] the uh the rear driver's door

[54:55] does not open

[54:57] i'm sorry the rear driver's side

[54:59] passenger door does not open due to

[55:01] heavy damage and it's been involved in

[55:03] several on on scene or on duty

[55:05] collisions this obviously creates a

[55:08] safety hazard

[55:09] and so let me tell you a quick story a

[55:11] few months back

[55:13] pant detectives went to a a location

[55:15] just outside of cottonwood they were

[55:17] going to serve a search warrant

[55:19] and as soon as they pulled up they

[55:22] misjudged where the house was and they

[55:23] accidentally pulled up right in front of

[55:25] it and as soon as they did they started

[55:27] taking rounds and and gunfire from the

[55:30] residents

[55:31] my detective at the time ryan spriggs

[55:34] actually had to lay down

[55:36] behind the tire of the vehicle because

[55:38] he was in a position unable to return

[55:40] fire but he was vulnerable and so he had

[55:43] to hide behind the tire of this truck as

[55:45] it took the damage

[55:49] these are some pictures of the damage of

[55:51] the vehicle

[55:54] this is what renders the passenger door

[55:57] unable to be

[55:59] opened so why why is this a big deal

[56:02] so this is the door that doesn't open

[56:06] if detectives pull up to a location to

[56:08] serve a search warrant or do whatever

[56:11] and somebody opened fire on them like

[56:13] they did in cottonwood

[56:15] you would want to exit the

[56:17] vehicle in this case on the driver's

[56:19] side

[56:21] the problem is if there's anybody in the

[56:23] back seat they can't get out that door

[56:25] so they would have to exit into the

[56:27] field of fire

[56:29] not what we would want

[56:32] some additional concerns

[56:34] numerous suspects have told detectives

[56:37] that most of the drug dealers and users

[56:39] in the area know that this vehicle is

[56:41] driven by a pant detective

[56:43] the vehicle has been driven but for over

[56:45] nine years

[56:47] and

[56:49] interestingly

[56:50] we can't get informants to get into the

[56:52] truck because they know it's known and

[56:54] they don't want to be seen in

[56:56] it so

[56:58] while driving around and we're trying to

[57:01] maybe do uh conduct some surveillance at

[57:03] known locations

[57:05] people will actually come out and start

[57:07] taking photographs of the truck

[57:11] so in the end we have a truck that

[57:13] doesn't work

[57:14] it's a safety hazard

[57:16] and it is not effective for the job it

[57:18] is intended for

[57:20] so we need something new or newer or

[57:23] different

[57:24] so we considered one possibility but we

[57:27] figured

[57:28] that might be too conspicuous as well

[57:31] so

[57:32] what we're gonna do is uh we're looking

[57:34] at a newer model suv or pickup we're not

[57:37] exactly sure

[57:39] the twenty four thousand dollars would

[57:40] be used to purchase the vehicle and

[57:42] equip it with emergency and

[57:43] communications equipment

[57:45] we're gonna work with a local dealership

[57:48] uh but beyond that i really don't wanna

[57:50] go into a lot of specifics i know that

[57:51] the rfca gave some specifics and i can

[57:54] tell you that i don't know if that's

[57:55] exactly the vehicle that we're going to

[57:57] be looking at

[57:58] but again i don't really want to tell

[58:00] you what we're going to look at or buy

[58:02] because then that kind of defeats the

[58:03] purpose of being undercover

[58:05] so with that if you have any questions

[58:07] i'd be more than happy to answer them

[58:08] for you

[58:10] will the old truck go back to auction

[58:12] it'll be turned back in it's a

[58:14] rico forfeiture vehicle so it would go

[58:16] back to the the forfeiture lot

[58:19] and if somebody wanted it go for it

[58:23] fair enough

[58:26] i think this is a no-brainer chief so

[58:28] yeah

[58:30] somebody came a motion

[58:37] okay i'll make a motion

[58:39] i make a motion authorize necessary

[58:41] transfers from contingency funding to

[58:43] purchase a pant vehicle with ancillary

[58:46] ancillary

[58:50] equipment for not more than twenty four

[58:52] thousand dollars by electronic vote

[58:56] sorry clerk with a motion in a second

[58:58] please call the vote

[59:07] it passes unanimously mayor thank you

[59:09] ma'am thank you chief

[59:12] item b is consideration of approving the

[59:14] award of a construction contract to the

[59:16] lowest responsive bidder copper state

[59:18] paving and construction llc in an amount

[59:20] up to 526 thousand one hundred forty

[59:23] three dollars and seventy cents for the

[59:25] civic drive sidewalk project cip number

[59:28] s422

[59:30] mayor council good evening uh just to do

[59:33] a brief overview of what was presented

[59:35] last week on the civic drive improvement

[59:37] project uh the exhibit you see here uh

[59:40] just shows the extents of the project

[59:43] uh in yellow would be uh what would be

[59:46] the contribution from the town and from

[59:48] uh community development block grant

[59:50] funding in the amount of three hundred

[59:52] thousand dollars

[59:53] uh and the scope of that project would

[59:55] be to

[59:57] widen the either the west or the north

[59:59] side of the roadway

[1:00:01] uh curb gutter and sidewalk some minor

[1:00:03] drainage improvements and some street

[1:00:05] lighting

[1:00:06] what you see in blue would be a

[1:00:08] contribution from yavapai county

[1:00:10] they own the empty lot right there in

[1:00:12] the corner and through the efforts of

[1:00:15] supervisor jack smith working with uh

[1:00:18] kenny van kieran who's the facilities

[1:00:20] director and uh phil bordone who's the

[1:00:24] county manager they were able to come up

[1:00:25] with 106 thousand dollars uh in uh

[1:00:29] monies to uh put towards the project and

[1:00:31] so the area in blue

[1:00:33] uh will be uh

[1:00:35] basically what would mirror uh what's in

[1:00:37] front of the school right there it'd be

[1:00:39] a little bit of additional paving

[1:00:42] some angled parking

[1:00:44] curb gutter sidewalk there as well and

[1:00:47] some street lighting in there as well

[1:00:52] so this is just a couple of quick

[1:00:54] exhibits to just show you what we do

[1:00:56] with the grant funding when we get it

[1:00:57] we've i believe this is a third or

[1:00:59] fourth year in a row that we've received

[1:01:00] grant funding and so this is our 2017

[1:01:03] project

[1:01:05] and this is uh

[1:01:07] right in front of the liberty school

[1:01:09] where we added an additional southbound

[1:01:12] lane

[1:01:13] curb gutter and sidewalk improvements

[1:01:14] there and also street lighting and the

[1:01:17] street lighting that you see here will

[1:01:19] be the street lighting that will be put

[1:01:20] on the project as well

[1:01:23] this is our 2018 project grant funded as

[1:01:26] well

[1:01:27] this will pretty much mirror what we

[1:01:29] have what we're going to do on civic

[1:01:31] drive

[1:01:32] this is long look you can see where we

[1:01:34] widened some of the roadway

[1:01:37] added curb gutter and sidewalk there

[1:01:38] made that a three-lane configuration

[1:01:41] which is what we will be doing on the

[1:01:42] civic drive as well

[1:01:46] this is just a mock-up of the project

[1:01:48] sign and it shows all the the project

[1:01:50] partners

[1:01:51] the arizona department of housing

[1:01:54] you've got yavapai county there

[1:01:57] copper state paving who uh

[1:01:59] we want to be the low bid contractor and

[1:02:02] kimberly horn the engineer

[1:06:24] addressed at the direction or at the

[1:06:25] discretion of the mayor or they may ask

[1:06:27] the town manager to review the matter or

[1:06:29] ask that the matter be placed on a

[1:06:31] future agenda

[1:06:32] with that being said

[1:06:35] if we'll come on up there sir

[1:06:39] you know how it goes state your name

[1:06:41] please

[1:06:42] i am back

[1:06:44] my name is clyde pruitt i'm trying to

[1:06:47] get our older neighborhoods back into

[1:06:49] shape

[1:06:51] with some hopefully some help from code

[1:06:53] enforcement and they definitely need

[1:06:55] help

[1:06:56] i spoke to a code enforcement agent

[1:06:58] earlier this week and

[1:07:01] i addressed some issues and he goes i'm

[1:07:03] just too busy i can't do that

[1:07:06] we're failing somewhere

[1:07:09] at one point in time the town had three

[1:07:12] code enforcement officers i believe

[1:07:14] now we're down to two

[1:07:16] we're not shrinking we're only growing

[1:07:18] we need more help

[1:07:20] and i don't know what needs to be done

[1:07:24] besides me coming in every two weeks and

[1:07:27] you know grabbing you guys by the ear

[1:07:29] and saying you know you need to listen

[1:07:30] to me but

[1:07:32] we seriously need to do something to

[1:07:34] revitalize the older neighborhoods to

[1:07:37] get them up

[1:07:39] the people that's been here for years

[1:07:40] and they think it's the old days i don't

[1:07:43] have to fix anything i can just let it

[1:07:44] go

[1:07:46] i don't want to have to spend

[1:07:48] two thousand dollars so i don't have to

[1:07:49] look at my neighbors junk in their

[1:07:51] backyard

[1:07:52] i have shared some photos with some

[1:07:55] council members

[1:07:57] and

[1:07:58] they've seen what i have to deal with on

[1:08:00] a daily basis and it's just it's just

[1:08:03] not right

[1:08:04] and it's not right that we don't have

[1:08:05] enough code enforcement agents or enough

[1:08:07] staffing we're doing a lot of great

[1:08:10] things in the town of prescott valley

[1:08:11] but we need to take and address this

[1:08:13] issue too

[1:08:14] and

[1:08:15] i'm open for suggestions what can be

[1:08:17] done besides me driving around

[1:08:19] being junior code enforcement agent

[1:08:21] myself because when i call in or when i

[1:08:24] come down to the town

[1:08:26] civic center i bring in a list and

[1:08:29] i deal a lot with uh fernando and he

[1:08:32] knows when i come in with a list they're

[1:08:34] legitimate complaints but they don't

[1:08:36] have time to come out and actually

[1:08:39] follow up on them necessarily just like

[1:08:42] when i caught one of the agents the

[1:08:44] other day he was out for something else

[1:08:46] i happened to catch him when he was

[1:08:49] getting out of his truck

[1:08:51] and said hey can you look at this and

[1:08:52] that's why he's like i you gave me 30

[1:08:55] you know two weeks ago i'm trying to

[1:08:57] follow up on then how can you give me

[1:08:59] more stuff

[1:09:00] and i don't know what needs to be done

[1:09:02] but the town seems to be failing

[1:09:04] and i hate to say that the town's

[1:09:06] failing but it seems like they are as

[1:09:07] far as

[1:09:08] following up on code enforcement and we

[1:09:10] have i had an issue with a neighbor

[1:09:14] they were out of compliance

[1:09:16] last year

[1:09:18] i kept asking code enforcement

[1:09:20] what's the status on my neighbor what's

[1:09:22] the status

[1:09:24] oh it's an open case i can't do anything

[1:09:25] about it because it was under the other

[1:09:27] agent's

[1:09:29] jurisdiction before they switch

[1:09:31] territories i guess you would say

[1:09:33] because they switched zones

[1:09:36] on where they

[1:09:38] take care of

[1:09:39] and he thought it was under

[1:09:41] it was an open case under

[1:09:42] the other uh field agent come to find

[1:09:45] out the case has been closed since the

[1:09:47] somewhere around the first of the year

[1:09:49] nothing's been done to the property

[1:09:52] and it's just

[1:09:54] it's just terrible that you can't sit

[1:09:56] out and enjoy the reason we're up here

[1:09:57] for the fresh year

[1:09:59] beautiful sunsets and

[1:10:01] you know the cool weather we're not

[1:10:03] sweating to death like the people are in

[1:10:04] the valley already

[1:10:06] and we're up here to enjoy stuff but

[1:10:08] it's hard to enjoy when you gotta look

[1:10:09] at you know a trash cheap next door to

[1:10:11] you

[1:10:12] so

[1:10:13] any suggestions comments i'm hoping what

[1:10:17] whatever can be done

[1:10:19] i'm here to

[1:10:21] try to get it figured out

[1:10:24] sorry i appreciate you coming believe it

[1:10:26] or not i mean coming here and speaking

[1:10:28] to us that's great um i believe mr

[1:10:31] tarkowski will have

[1:10:32] some words to add along i know you guys

[1:10:34] have spoken before and we have the

[1:10:37] challenges that that exist

[1:10:39] and i understand that and

[1:10:41] um

[1:10:42] i will continue to work in a fluid

[1:10:44] manner to try to

[1:10:46] to rectify whatever situation we have

[1:10:48] going on i i know we

[1:10:50] need to budget for a lot of different

[1:10:51] things but i think somewhere along the

[1:10:53] way we need to look at the budget as far

[1:10:56] as

[1:10:56] getting more filled agents

[1:10:59] for the township

[1:11:01] and i'm not sure who

[1:11:04] i'm i'm new to all this but i'm trying

[1:11:06] to do what i can to get fernando and

[1:11:08] them as much help as you know

[1:11:11] so

[1:11:12] you tell me what else i need to do but

[1:11:14] so we can try to get some more

[1:11:16] some more staffing or something so

[1:11:18] they're not so overwhelmed so when you

[1:11:19] say hey can you look at this they don't

[1:11:21] tell you

[1:11:22] i can't i'm too busy sure no i

[1:11:24] understand your frustration okay sir
