[13:18] world to them
[13:20] i know that's a grandiose statement but
[13:24] i did some of this volunteering in
[13:25] phoenix and that's what a couple people
[13:27] said to me
[13:28] so i'm glad to have that validated

[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
