[2. Finance - Presentation of the County budget to actual revenue, expenditures, and financial information for the period ending on December 31, 2024.]

REVENUE EXPENDITURES AND THE TREASURER'S FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE PERIOD ENDING ON DECEMBER 31, 2024. GOOD MORNING, CONNIE, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK, YOUR DEPARTMENT, EVERYONE.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR MALLORY, VICE CHAIR COMPTON, OH THANK YOU. SHOULD I START OVER? GOOD MORNING, CHAIR MALLORY, VICE CHAIR COMPTON, AND SUPERVISORS.

I'M CONNIE DEKEMPER, FINANCE DIRECTOR FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY THIS IS A QUICK PRESENTATION TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE COUNTY FOR FISCAL YEAR 24-25 THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST OF 2024 THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS, THIS PRESENTATION WILL PROVIDE YOU A GLIMPSE OF THE STATUS OF THE COUNTY FROM BOTH A FINANCIAL ASPECT AND A BUDGETARY ASPECT.

THIS IS THE FIRST ITERATION OF THIS PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL DATA TO THE BOARD.

THIS IS INTENDED TO BE CONTINUE ON ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, AND IT SHOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS WE MOVE ON OF CASH AND INVESTMENT POSITIONS, INDEBTEDNESS, AND WHEN APPROPRIATE, THE OPEB AND PENSION LIABILITY INFORMATION.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO. THIS IS A QUICK COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEAR 25 REVENUES. BUDGETED REVENUES, AS YOU CAN SEE, APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE REVENUE THAT HITS THE GENERAL FUND COMES IN THE FORM OF PROPERTY TAXES, STATE SHARED SALES TAX, AND COUNTY EXCISE TAX.

ANY MOVEMENT IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS CAN HAVE A VERY BIG EFFECT ON THE GENERAL FUND.

THIS IS A QUICK COMPARISON FROM FISCAL YEAR 25 TO FISCAL YEAR 24 OF THE BUDGETED REVENUES VERSUS WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE COLLECTED. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE SHOULD NOTE HERE.

THE PROPERTY TAXES APPEAR TO BE A LITTLE BIT LOWER THAN IN THE PRIOR YEAR, BUT BECAUSE PROPERTY TAXES GENERALLY ARE REQUIRED TO BE PAID, WE COLLECT. IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, WE'VE COLLECTED THE AMOUNT BUDGETED 95 TO 96%.

THAT AMOUNT IS THE BUDGETED PROPERTY TAX REVENUE IS THE TOTAL LEVY THAT WE HAVE ISSUED.

HOWEVER, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THERE ARE ADJUSTMENTS TO PROPERTY TAXES, AND THAT'S WHY WE TYPICALLY COLLECT 95 TO 96%.

AND WHEN YOU SEE OTHER REVENUES ON THERE THAT IS LUMPED TOGETHER AND THOSE INCLUDE LICENSES AND PERMITS, THERE ARE GRANTS SUCH AS PILT, COURT FEES, CHARGES FOR SERVICES SUCH AS RECORDER'S FEES AND THEN VARIOUS MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES THAT COME IN. WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE TOP THREE REVENUE STREAMS THAT THE GENERAL FUND RECEIVES.

THE FIRST IS STATE SHARED SALES TAX COLLECTED.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEN SALES TAX COLLECTED IS EARNED AND WHEN IT ACTUALLY GETS RECEDED TO THE COUNTY.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS THE MONTH THAT IT WAS EARNED.

BUT IT'S THE YOU CAN SEE ON THE NOVEMBER THAT WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY RECEDED BY DECEMBER 31ST.

ALL OF THE STATES SHARED SALES TAXES THAT WE HAVE EARNED, BUT THIS IS A YEAR OVER YEAR COMPARISON.

THE GREEN LINE IS THE PRIOR YEAR, AND YOU CAN SEE WE'RE A LITTLE BIT SHORT YEAR OVER YEAR BY APPROXIMATELY $246,000. COUNTY EXCISE TAXES

[00:15:01]

ARE THE . 5% TAX THAT IS CHARGED FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY.

IN THE GENERAL FUND WE'RE TALKING THE GENERAL FUND RIGHT NOW.

THOSE ARE DISTRIBUTED ANY TAX COLLECTED IS DISTRIBUTED BY BOTH TO THE GENERAL FUND, THE REGIONAL ROADS FUND AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND BASED ON THIS ALLOCATION.

THIS IS A BOARD APPROVED ALLOCATION AND IT WOULD TAKE BOARD APPROVAL TO CHANGE IT.

THIS IS THE COLLECTIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, AND IT'S DISTRIBUTED IN THE MONTH THAT IT WAS EARNED.

AND THE GREEN LINE, AGAIN, IS PRIOR YEAR COLLECTIONS.

VEHICLE LICENSE TAX IS A TAX THAT'S DISTRIBUTED BY THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DISTRIBUTES THEIR TAX FROM ON THEIR OWN BASED ON A CALCULATION THAT STATE STATUTE AND YOU CAN SEE 24.59% GOES TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR UNRESTRICTED USE, AND 5.83% GOES TO IS RESTRICTED TO TRANSPORTATION USES IN THE COUNTY DEPOSITS THOSE FUNDS INTO HURF FUND.

AND THIS IS A BIG PICTURE OF THE VEHICLE LICENSE TAX COLLECTED IN THE MONTH THAT IT WAS EARNED.

IN VEHICLE LICENSE TAXES, WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING GROWTH IN THE TAX REVENUE.

IT'S ABOUT $362,000 OVER PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS HAVE COME IN AT LESS THAN 50%, WHICH IS WE'RE AT 50% OF THE YEAR ON DECEMBER 31ST.

EXCEPT FOR THESE THREE PARTICULAR DEPARTMENTS.

BUT FACILITY OR ELECTIONS AND RECORDER, MOST OF THEIR REVENUES EXPENDED IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR FOR THE ELECTIONS.

THERE AREN'T USUALLY VERY MANY ELECTIONS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR. AND FOR FACILITIES, WE HAVE A CASTLE COURT PARK PROJECT THAT'S ARPA FUNDED THAT IS BEING EXPENSED IN THE GENERAL FUND.

AND AT THE END OF YEAR, WE WILL BE TRANSFERRING THOSE ARPA FUNDS TO COVER THOSE COSTS.

AND THAT'S THE END OF THE PRESENTATION IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WILL REACH TO THE BOARD AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

VICE CHAIR SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. IS THE INCREASE IN VLT IS JUST IS THAT JUST TRACKING WITH POPULATION GROWTH THE INCREASE? I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL DETAILS OF WHY IT'S INCREASING BECAUSE IT'S A VEHICLE LICENSE TAX.

IT COULD BE JUST THE VALUE OF VEHICLES IS INCREASING.

AND SO IF IT'S A PERCENTAGE OF THE VALUE OR IT COULD BE THE FREE UP OF SUPPLY THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE MOST RECENT SIX MONTHS.

IT COULD BE ANY OF THOSE REASONS. I THINK WE CAN RESEARCH THAT AND TRY TO GET BACK TO YOU.

JUST A QUESTION IN THE HEAD, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU.

OH, YES, MR. THOMPSON. THANK YOU CHAIR. JUST A FEW COMMENTS AND START WITH THANKS TO CONNIE AND ZACH WOLFE.

YOU MAY SEE ON SCREEN HE'S AVAILABLE FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. OUR BUDGET MANAGER FROM PRESCOTT THIS MORNING.

AND I JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK BOTH OF YOU FOR GETTING US TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE THIS REPORT TO PROVIDE TO THE BOARD.

THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY PRIORITIES SINCE BEING HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

SO PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE HAVE REACHED THIS POINT.

I WILL ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE. YOU MAY RECALL THAT THIS WAS AN AUDIT FINDING IN OUR MOST RECENT AUDIT.

SO VERY PLEASED IN THAT REGARD TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE THAT ONE OUT.

THE PRESENTATION YOU SAW TODAY I WILL SHARE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

AGAIN, I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE, BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO REFINE THAT AND REFINE IT BASED ON QUESTIONS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT FROM YOU ALL TO RECEIVE.

AND THEN FINALLY, JUST A REMINDER, THIS IS A QUARTERLY PRESENTATION.

SO CONNIE AND OR ZACH OR BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER WILL BE BACK BEFORE US ON A QUARTERLY BASIS TO PROVIDE THIS UPDATE.

THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. THOMPSON.

VICE CHAIR . CONNIE, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

I APPRECIATE IT. AND TO ZACH AS WELL. AND I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE EXCISE TAX, THE SPLIT OF THE 40, 45 AND 15. DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE BOARD ACTION OR MAYBE MR. THOMPSON WHEN THE BOARD ACTION WAS THAT MADE THAT SPLIT? I ACTUALLY DO KNOW THAT INFORMATION. I DID SEND IT TO ZACH, SO HE HAS IT.

BUT THE ORIGINAL SPLIT THE ORIGINAL EXCISE TAX WAS IN 1997.

ADDING THE GENERAL FUND TO THAT SPLIT WAS IN 2009 DURING THE GREAT RECESSION.

AT ONE POINT IT WAS AT 50% OF EXCISE TAX IN THE GENERAL FUND.

AND THAT WAS IN THAT ARENA WHERE REVENUES WERE LOW.

AND IT HAS BEEN GOING DOWN BY BOARD ACTION SINCE THEN.

[00:20:04]

2023 WAS WHEN IT WENT TO 45%, 40%, BUT ORIGINALLY IT WAS AN 85/15 SPLIT, AM I CORRECT BEFORE GENERAL FUND WAS ADDED? 80/20. 80/20. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND CONNIE, YOU SAID IN I BELIEVE IT WAS 2023, IS THAT WHEN WE INCREASED? YEP. OR DECREASE THE GENERAL FUND ALLOCATION. DECREASED.

OKAY, OKAY. GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. AND ZACH ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING AVAILABLE AND YOUR WORK ON THIS.

AND I WILL SAY, I THINK THAT MR. THOMPSON, THIS WILL BE A VERY GOOD TOOL AND AN EASIER WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE BUDGET AS WE DO GET IT ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, HONESTLY. SO I APPRECIATE THIS VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, CHAIR. THAT'S THE INTENT. ABSOLUTELY.

AND SECOND COMMENT I MIGHT SHARE, PROBABLY SEEING A LOT OF FAMILIAR THEMES TO OUR BUDGET UPDATE THAT WE RECEIVED YESTERDAY AND SOME OF THESE NUMBERS.

YES. ALSO THANK YOU. WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH BUDGETS, DEALING WITH THESE NUMBERS, DEALING WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT REVENUE SOURCES, THEY DON'T ALL COME IN AT THE SAME TIME.

IT IS GOOD TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU LET SO MANY MONTHS PASS BY, YOU KIND OF ACTUALLY DO START OVER WITH, HOW DOES THIS WORK AGAIN? BECAUSE THINGS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THERE'S A LOT OF I WOULD SAY FEDERAL GRANTS, YOU MIGHT SAY, OR FEDERAL FUNDING.

THAT IS KIND OF IN QUESTION RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AS WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN HOUSE.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESOURCES WE HAVE LOCALLY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS, JUST IN CASE THINGS MAYBE DON'T TURN OUT LIKE THEY SHOULD OR HAS WORKED OUT SO FAR.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE

[ CONSENT AGENDA (Routine items that may all be approved by one motion.) ALL ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WERE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM NO. 3 AND 9.]

CONSENT AGENDA. THESE ARE ROUTINE ITEMS. THEY MAY ALL BE APPROVED BY ONE MOTION.

DO WE HAVE ITEMS THAT ARE BEING PULLED? I'D LIKE TO PULL THREE AND NINE.

OKAY. THREE AND NINE. AND VICE CHAIR . NOTHING.

OKAY. I JUST WISH TO SPEAK TO NINE AS WELL. OKAY, ABSOLUTELY NOT A PROBLEM.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1 THROUGH 15, EXCLUDING THREE AND NINE.

SECOND. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

I'LL HAVE THE BOARD CALL OR THE CLERK CALL FOR THE VOTE.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES.

CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ALL ITEMS 1 THROUGH 15, ASIDE FROM THREE AND NINE, HAVE BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

OKAY, FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. WELL, WITH THAT BEING SAID WE WILL GO OVER TO ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3. Board of Supervisors - Approve sale of 0.16-acre Tax Deed Parcel 302-09-015B from tax sale year 2022 to Bruce and Karen Hitchings, dba Highland Reeds USA, in the amount of $5,000.00, pursuant to A.R.S. §42-18303(F). (District 4 - Supervisor Kuknyo)]

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A TAX SALE THAT'S GOING THROUGH AND THE APPLICANTS THAT ARE DOING IT, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY SELL BAGPIPE SUPPLIES ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, GO FIGURE.

BUT THEY'RE GETTING THIS PARCEL THAT'S BEHIND THEM.

AND THEY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PURCHASING THE OTHER PARCEL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THEM, WHICH IS A VERY DILAPIDATED HOTEL THAT'S VERY FAR IN ARREARS WITH TAXES. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND PUT SOMETHING IN THE AGREEMENT TO WHERE IF YOU TEAR DOWN THE STRUCTURES, THE DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES, THAT WE CAN MAKE THAT TAX SALE PURCHASE GO QUICKER.

AND IT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO THROUGH STATUTE. I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING.

BUT THEY'VE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN DOING IT. ANYTHING WE CAN DO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF OLD STRUCTURES THAT WERE PUT UP THERE WHEN ROUTE 66 STILL WENT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT WAS VERY HOPPING.

SANTA FE WAS STILL USING THESE TOWNS. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF CATCH UP TO DO.

AND INSTEAD OF JUST THE COUNTY PAYING TO DO ALL THIS REMOVAL OF STRUCTURES AND THEN WE LIEN THE PROPERTY TO GET THAT MONEY BACK IF THE PRIVATE SECTOR COULD STEP IN. EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. I'M SORRY.

I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING. I WOULD JUST NOTE THAT WE ARE PROBABLY OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS AGENDA ITEM.

THAT IS A PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD, BUT WE COULD CERTAINLY DO THAT.

WE COULD AGENDIZE THAT FOR DISCUSSION IN A STUDY SESSION OR A SUBSEQUENT ACTION ITEM, BUT PROBABLY NOT ADDRESS IT THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM CALLING FOR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF THE SALE OF THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL.

[00:25:07]

OKAY, WELL, THEN I'LL JUST ASK STAFF TO PUT THIS ON A FUTURE AGENDA TO DISCUSS THESE THINGS, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BECOME MORE AND MORE PROMINENT AS WE TRY AND CLEAN UP THESE AREAS AND BEFORE THE COUNTY SPENDS THE MONEY.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. BRENNAN, FOR KEEPING US ON TRACK HERE. WELL, WITH THAT CHRIS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON THIS? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER THREE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT MY IDEAS WILL BE DISCUSSED AT A FUTURE MEETING. OKAY. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND WE'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES.

ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER NINE.

[9. Public Works - Approve moving the start date of the 2025 Free Slash Program from April 1, 2025, to March 20, 2025, to accommodate the anticipated need for residents to process slash (yard vegetative material) before wildfire season. (All Districts) APPROVAL INCLUDES AN END DATE OF JUNE 15, 2025.]

AND I'LL TRY AND STICK WITH THE SUBJECT SO I DON'T ANGER THE ATTORNEY AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PUT YOU IN THE CORNER.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT ONE MORE SHOT AT THIS.

WE HAVE A FREE SLASH [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM THAT WE DO, WHERE IF PEOPLE CLEAN UP THEIR YARDS WITH THE BRUSH, MITIGATE THE FIRE DANGER, THINGS LIKE THAT. WE LET THEM DUMP IT FOR FREE.

AND TYPICALLY IT HAPPENS APRIL 1ST. AND IT GOES, I THINK, TO JUNE 1ST.

WE HAVE EXTREME FIRE DANGER THIS YEAR, AND I KNOW WE'VE GOTTEN SOME SNOW.

I KNOW WE'VE GOTTEN SOME RAIN, BUT WE'RE STILL IN HUGE DEFICIT.

AND I THINK ONE THING PEOPLE NOTICE IS RUNOFF.

AND WE HAD ALL THIS SNOW. I WENT OVER TO GRANITE CREEK AND IT WAS STILL A TRICKLE, WHICH MEANS THE GROUND IS JUST SUCKING IT ALL UP.

WE'RE WAY IN DEFICIT. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO GET RELAXED BECAUSE OF THIS, BECAUSE I THINK ALL, ALL OF US SUPERVISORS WENT TO THE WILDFIRE ACADEMY THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW AT EMBRY RIDDLE UNIVERSITY, AND THEY ARE VERY SCARED OF THIS FIRE SEASON AS WELL.

THEY FEEL IT'S GOING TO BE BAD. SO I JUST WANTED TO ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS EXTRA TWO WEEKS THAT I'M PROPOSING WHAT WELL, WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY. AND FIRE WISE, YOUR HOUSE.

IT HELPS YOU. IT HELPS YOUR NEIGHBORS. AND IT'S GOING TO BE NO COST TO GET RID OF IT, WHICH DOESN'T COME AROUND VERY OFTEN.

SO AND ALSO TO DIRECT STAFF, IF POSSIBLE, TO REALLY BUMP UP THE PR CAMPAIGN ON THIS.

GET THE WORD OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. GET US A FRONT PAGE IN EVERY NEWSPAPER IN YAVAPAI COUNTY THAT THIS IS GOING ON.

THANK YOU SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES, I CONCUR WITH EVERYTHING THAT CHRIS JUST SAID.

AND IT'S FUNNY, WE WORK ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND OUR OFFICES ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, BUT WE WERE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THIS SAME TOPIC AT THE SAME TIME AND DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. SO I CERTAINLY SUPPORT THIS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO EXTEND IT BY TWO WEEKS FROM JUNE 1ST TO JUNE 15TH.

AND I DID CHECK WITH THE ATTORNEY TO MAKE SURE IT WAS GERMANE TO THE ISSUE, SO I DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE FOR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER NINE IS TO I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE IT, BUT TO EXTEND IT FROM JUNE 1ST TO TO JUNE 15TH AS WELL AN ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS.

OKAY. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR COMPTON. AND SO BEFORE WE DO ANY MOTIONING OR ANYTHING ON THIS, I THOUGHT I'D REACH OUT TO OUR DIRECTOR HERE AND SEE IF YOU WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON THIS.

YES, I'D LOVE TO. D IRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, ROGER MCCORMICK, IS MY NAME.

THANK YOU. CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR AND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT APPROACH TO WHAT WE'RE FACING AHEAD.

I THINK THIS IS THINKING AHEAD AND AND ALLOWING OUR RESIDENTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE OPPORTUNITY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DOES COME AROUND EVERY YEAR BETWEEN APRIL 1ST AND IN JUNE 1ST, AND YOU CAN TAKE IT TO ANY OF OUR TRANSFER STATIONS. ANYBODY CAN DO IT. IF YOU LIVE WITHIN THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY OR WITHIN THE CITY OF PRESCOTT THAT QUALIFIES TOO.

YOU'RE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY, AND SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE JUST A YAVAPAI COUNTY RESIDENT.

IT'S FOR ANYBODY. SO, YEAH, I THINK TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

AND WITH THE EXTENSION, IT'LL GIVE PEOPLE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THIS YEAR BASED ON THE CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE.

AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. AND A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS FOR BRUSH ONLY.

DON'T MIX IN TRASH. DON'T THROW IN A COUCH. THIS IS JUST FOR BRUSH.

CORRECT? YEAH. YEP. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD A LOT OF MY DISTRICT SITS INTO TWO MUNICIPALITIES.

ONE IS THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY AND THE OTHER IS THE CITY OF PRESCOTT.

[00:30:02]

ME AND THE VICE CHAIR ACTUALLY SHARE THE PRESCOTT AREA.

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE AREN'T JUST TALKING ABOUT LIKE FORESTRY AREAS OR AREAS THAT ARE FLAT LAND OUT NEAR MAYBE MORE INTO THE PAULDEN AREAS OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALSO COMMUNITIES, DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES AN MANY OF THE MUNICIPALITIES.

WE ALL NEED TO BE FIRE WISE. WE ALL NEED TO BE SURE THAT WE HAVE OUR AREAS CLEAN AND THAT WE'RE BEING ALERT.

BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU, SOME OF MY DISTRICT WILL HAVE A, I BACK RIGHT UP TO THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY, AND THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY HAS THEIR ORDINANCES.

AND THEN YOU WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND NOW YOU ARE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY, AND IT IS AN UNINCORPORATED AREA.

AND OUR ORDINANCES AREN'T QUITE AS TIGHT AS THE CITIES OR TOWNS.

BUT WHAT I'M HERE TO SAY IS THAT ONCE WE HAVE AN INCIDENT OR AN EVENT, IT'S GOING TO SPREAD.

SO IT ALL MATTERS. WE ARE NOT FAR APART ANYMORE WITH THE MOVE OF THE POPULATION AND THE GROWTH YOU CAN WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND BE IN AN UNINCORPORATED AREA, SO BE AWARE.

THIS GOES FOR ALL OF US, WHETHER WE'RE IN THE DEVELOPMENT, A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, EVEN IF IT'S AN HOA.

I KNOW THEY HAVE RULES AS WELL, BUT JUST ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE AROUND YOUR HOUSE.

WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE? AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY, BECAUSE WE'RE A FAMILY, WE'RE ALL TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER BY TAKING CARE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN OUR HOME.

SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE CONVERSATION. MADAM CHAIR, I JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING.

I USED TO OWN A TRASH COMPANY, AND WE PICKED UP A COMMUNITY CALLED THE MOUNTAIN CLUB, AND WE DO A FREE CLEANUP ONCE A YEAR.

AND WE WENT THROUGH THERE AND WE'D FILL UP ONE TRUCK THROUGH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY AND WE'D GET RID OF IT.

WELL, THEN I THINK IT WAS 2001, 2003 WHEN WE ALMOST LOST PRESCOTT SOUTH SIDE TO A FIRE, AND IT CAME TO THE VERY EDGE OF THEIR COMMUNITY.

THAT YEAR WHEN WE DID CLEANUP, I FILLED UP SEVEN GARBAGE TRUCKS WITH PINE NEEDLES.

IT TOOK A BIG SCARE TO GET PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION.

I WOULD SAY BE SCARED. NOW CLEAN UP YOUR AREA NOW.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SUPERVISORS. AND SO I WILL TAKE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE EXTEND THE FREE SLASH DROP OFF TWO WEEKS IN FRONT AND TWO WEEKS AT THE END FROM UNTIL JUNE 15TH. SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

I'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY WITH THE EXTENSION TO JUNE 15, 2025. OKAY. AND THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH, VICE CHAIR , FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN FOR US AND THINKING OF IT.

APPRECIATE IT. WE NEED TO ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN DO BETTER.

SO THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU TO SUPERVISOR KUKNYO FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD.

APPRECIATE IT. WELL, GOOD MORNING, MR. THOMPSON.

GOOD MORNING CHAIR. VICE CHAIR SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

MAURY THOMPSON, COUNTY MANAGER. GOOD MORNING, MR. THOMPSON. MOVING ON TO ACTION, ITEM NUMBER ONE, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE PROCESS TO APPOINT A

[1. Board of Supervisors - Discussion and possible action regarding amendments to the process to appoint a replacement for the Yavapai County District 2 Supervisor, pursuant to A.R.S. §§11-213, 11-402, 16-230, and 38-294. ]

REPLACEMENT FOR THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SUPERVISOR, DISTRICT TWO, PURSUANT TO ARS 11 -2 13, 11 - 402, 16-230 AND 38-294. WELCOME, MR. THOMPSON.

THANK YOU AGAIN. HERE THIS MORNING, COUNTY MANAGER MAURY THOMPSON AGAIN TO UPDATE THE BOARD ON THE PROCESS FOR APPOINTMENT OF THE FIFTH SUPERVISOR TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

IT STARTED WITH, WE ANTICIPATED, I BELIEVE, WHEN WE SET OUT THE TIMELINE FOR THIS PROCESS, THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET A LARGER RESPONSE, QUITE FRANKLY, THAN WE GOT.

AS WE ALL KNOW, THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED AND WE'VE HAD FIVE INDIVIDUALS MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AND INDICATE THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED IN THIS APPOINTMENT.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE THAT THE BOARD AUTHORIZED AT OUR LAST MEETING HERE IN COTTONWOOD HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND HAS LOOKED AT OUR TIMELINE AND IS TODAY PROPOSING THAT WE MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT, AGAIN, BASED ON THE CHANGING DYNAMICS OF THE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FOR THIS OPEN APPOINTMENT.

SO YOU HAVE AN ATTACHMENT TO THIS AGENDA ITEM TODAY, AND I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE PROPOSED CHANGES I WOULD START WITH.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO MOVE UP THE ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC COMMENT FROM APRIL 4TH TO MARCH 28TH.

[00:35:02]

THAT WOULD BE SHORTENING THAT WINDOW BY ONE WEEK.

THEN ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2ND, AT OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE SUBCOMMITTEE WOULD MOVE FORWARD THEIR RECOMMENDATION OR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE FULL BOARD AT THAT TIME.

I WILL PAUSE HERE AND REMIND THE BOARD THAT WE WERE CLEAR WHEN WE SET OUT THIS TIMELINE AND PROCESS AT OUR LAST MEETING HERE IN COTTONWOOD, THAT ALL MATERIALS WOULD BE MOVED FORWARD WITH THE BOARD, BUT IT WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED WITH A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE NEXT PROPOSED CHANGE IS ON MONDAY, APRIL 7TH, AND HAVE NOT ACTUALLY WE'VE NOT SUGGESTED MODIFY THE ACTIVITIES, BUT SOME OF THE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED THERE.

SO JUST WANTED TO CALL THAT OUT TO STATE THAT WE MAY CONDUCT EXECUTIVE SESSION WITH FOLLOW UP, AND THE BOARD MAY ASK EACH CANDIDATE TO SPEAK.

THEN A MOTION FOR FINAL CHOICE FOLLOWED BY A ROLL CALL, A VOTE.

THE INTENT THERE WAS TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH SOME FLEXIBILITY ABOUT HOW YOU WANTED TO UNDERTAKE THAT PROCESS ON THE 16TH.

SO WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE PROPOSED CHANGES, OR ASK THE SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS IF THEY'D LIKE TO ADD TO ANYTHING I'VE SAID TODAY.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. IT'S JUST MISSING ONE THING, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT.

I THINK THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF PUBLIC FORUM.

I KNOW WE MAKE THE DECISION, BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A PUBLIC FORUM WHERE THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF CONCERNED CITIZENS.

THEY CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS IN PUBLIC. PEOPLE CAN ASK QUESTIONS OF THEM.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT THIS PROCESS IS LACKING.

CHAIR MALLORY. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, REALLY.

I JUST KNOW THAT I DO UNDERSTAND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND I APPRECIATE IT.

I WILL SAY JUST FROM A DIFFERENT. I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN AT THIS APPOINTMENT SINCE LAST YEAR.

I'M JUST SAYING, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS, AND WE ACTUALLY JUST KIND OF STARTED THIS THING.

SO ANYWAY BUT NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

AND I DO HEAR SUPERVISOR KUKNYO DESIRE OR WISH.

YEAH. FIRST OF ALL, I THANK STAFF FOR HELPING US WITH THIS.

IT HAS BEEN IT IS A DIFFICULT PROCESS. AND AS CHAIR MALLORY SAYS, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

AND I THINK WE'RE ALL READY TO MOVE FORWARD. AND I DO HEAR SUPERVISOR KUKNYO'S HIS FEELINGS ON THE MATTER.

BUT GIVEN THE RESPONSE, I DON'T AT THIS TIME PARTICULARLY THINK THAT THAT'S NECESSARY.

BUT I DO HEAR HIS REQUEST. AND CHAIR, IF I MAY, I AS WELL UNDERSTAND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO'S DESIRE FOR THAT THAT'S I WILL STATE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I'M SUGGESTING THAT I SOFTENED, IF YOU WILL, THAT LANGUAGE UNDER THE COMMENTS ON APRIL 7TH.

I THINK THERE COULD BE SOME FLEXIBILITY. AGAIN, IF THE FULL BOARD WANTS TO ENTERTAIN THAT AND HOW YOU GO ABOUT SOLICITING THE PUBLIC OR THE COMMENTS FROM THE FIVE APPLICANTS WHEN YOU HEAR FROM THEM, YOU COULD EXPAND THAT TIME, GIVING THEM MORE TIME. YOU COULD POSE. WE COULD COME UP WITH SOME QUESTIONS.

THERE WOULD BE WAYS TO TO COMPROMISE, TO GET MORE, MORE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM INDIVIDUALS IF THE SUBCOMMITTEE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ENTERTAINING THAT. I JUST THINK THAT MADAM CHAIR WITH SOME OF THE LETTERS THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC, I ALMOST SENSE A CAMPAIGN AGAINST SOME INDIVIDUALS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN APPOINTMENT, THERE IS CAMPAIGNING GOING ON, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THE ONLY THE ONE THING I WOULD SAY AND VICE CHAIR , I WOULD SAY THAT A LOT OF US HAVE NOT ALL RECEIVED THE SAME LETTERS, BY THE WAY, LIKE MANY OF THEM HAVE COME TO THE ADMINISTRATION LEVEL. SOME HAVE COME TO OTHER SUPERVISORS BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT TO OTHERS.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, LETTERS. WE HAVEN'T I KNOW WE'LL ALL SEE THEM.

I'M JUST SAYING THAT THE WAY THEY'VE COME IN AND THEN SOME CAME TO THE SUPERVISORS BUT THEN DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE CLERK OF THE BOARD, SO WE SENT THEM ON. SO AND VICE CHAIR , I WOULD ENTERTAIN THAT WE COULD MAYBE LOOK AT THIS CONVERSATION IN REGARDS TO HEARING FROM THESE APPLICANTS, MAYBE IN A PUBLIC.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE I WOULD CERTAINLY CONCUR THAT WE AS A SUBCOMMITTEE CAN MEET AND TALK ABOUT THAT AND TALK ABOUT A MORE ROBUST.

YEAH. YES. BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT THAT WE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I DON'T BEING ON A CAMPAIGN TRAIL MYSELF

[00:40:04]

FOR A FEW TIMES HERE AND THEY DO GET I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THOSE KIND OF TIMES.

WE WANT TO HEAR HAVE MORE OF A PUBLIC, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IF YOU MAY.

BUT I DEFINITELY DO NOT ENTERTAIN A REGULAR, YOU KNOW, THIS CAMPAIGN FORUM STUFF.

YEAH. SO ANYWAY, WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT'S ONE THING TO BRING THEM OUT AND THEY GET A CHANCE TO TALK WITH THE COMMUNITY.

AND I TOTALLY SUPPORT ALL OF THAT. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WE'VE ALL BEEN ON THIS TRAIL AND IT AND IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FEEL GOOD. AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

I DON'T WANT THAT KIND OF DESPAIR AND MAY ADD JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT, IF NOTHING ELSE, THAT WE ARE RECEIVING SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE FIVE INDIVIDUALS AND WILL ASSURE THE PUBLIC THAT ALL OF THOSE, REGARDLESS OF THE ROUTE THEY'RE BEING RECEIVED IN THE COUNTY, ARE BEING SENT TO THE CLERK OF THE BOARD.

SO WE WILL HAVE A FULL ACCOUNTING OF ALL OF THAT PUBLIC COMMENT.

YES. THE CHAIR MADE AN EXCELLENT POINT. WE ALL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SAME LETTERS.

THAT'S CORRECT. RIGHT. AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW THERE WAS A DIRECTION GIVEN AND I'M NOT WORRIED WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET THIS INFORMATION. WE'RE JUST GATHERING IT TOGETHER.

BUT I SAY THE REASON I SAY THAT, OF COURSE, IS BECAUSE AS SUPERVISOR KUKNYO MENTIONS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO HEAR FROM THE CANDIDATES OR THE APPLICANTS THAT KIND OF SUPPORTS ON THAT PART OF IT.

SO I DEFINITELY I'M A PERSON THAT LIKES TO BRING A CONSENSUS.

I'M A PERSON THAT LIKES TO FEEL LIKE EVERYONE HAS HEARD THEIR VOICES BEEN HEARD, AND THIS IS NEVER WHAT WE DO UP HERE. AND WHAT WE DO IN OUR COMMUNITY IS NEVER AN I THING.

IT'S WE. WE WILL ALL RISE TOGETHER OR WE WILL ALL FALL TOGETHER.

IT WON'T BE SOME OF US ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. SO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WE AND OUR HOME, OUR COMMUNITY, AND HOW DO WE LOOK TO OUR RIGHT AND OUR LEFT AND KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE TO HELP AND DO THE BEST WE CAN.

AND IT IS AN APPOINTMENT. THIS IS A ROUGH THING TO BE IN, TO HAVE TO DO.

WE WILL DO THE BEST WE CAN, BUT WE KNOW THAT WE WILL BE NOT MAKING EVERYBODY HAPPY.

BUT THAT'S PART OF THE JOB. SO ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS HERE AND THE SUPPORT THEY GIVE ME. CHAIR, IF I MAY. ONE FINAL COMMENT FROM ME.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THE SECOND PRESS RELEASE REFERENCED EARLIER HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET.

IT WAS SLATED TO BE ISSUED ON MARCH 24TH. WE TALKED ABOUT MOVING IT UP, BUT BASED ON PROBABLE DIRECTION TODAY WE THOUGHT IT BEST TO WAIT. IF THE BOARD ADOPTS THIS ACTION, WE WILL ISSUE A PRESS RELEASE TODAY CLARIFYING THE CHANGES THAT HAVE COME BEFORE THE BOARD TODAY.

MADAM CHAIR, YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW THIS AS BEING IN OFFICE FOR A WHILE.

THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN A LETTER SAID ON SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD NEVER BE SPOKEN IN PUBLIC.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT, IF YOU'RE GOING TO ACCUSE SOMEONE, I LIKE TO SEE EYE TO EYE CONTACT. AND THEN IT HAS A LOT MORE WEIGHT IN MY EYES.

THANKS VERY MUCH. WITH THAT, IS THERE A MOTION? YES, VICE CHAIR , I WILL GLADLY MAKE THE MOTION TO GO AHEAD.

AND HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SAY THAT? TO EXTEND THE CHANGES WITHIN THIS CALENDAR? YES. IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? OKAY, SO THAT WAS MY MOTION VICE CHAIR.

THERE. IS THERE A SECOND? YES, YOU. [LAUGHTER].

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS THAT REQUIRES SOME KIND OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT? OH, THAT WAS SPOKEN ABOUT, BUT IT WASN'T PUT.

OH. I'M SORRY. AND. OH. EXCUSE ME. WE WERE GOING TO DISCUSS THAT AS THE SUBCOMMITTEE PROBABLY THIS WEEK, BUT THAT SOUNDS. SO I COULD DO THIS. WITH THE CHANGES OF THE CALENDAR, I MAKE A MOTION WITH YOUR REQUEST OF THE CHANGES OF THE CALENDAR AND ALSO THE DISCUSSION OF THE PUBLIC.

ENGAGEMENT. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED AS WELL.

I'LL SECOND YOU. OKAY. MADAM CLERK. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES.

[00:45:04]

ITEM PASSES WITH THE APPROVED AMENDMENTS TO THE CALENDAR AND DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.

[2. Development Services - Approve a permanent and transferrable Use Permit for APN 405-01-296 to authorize placement of a manufactured home as a primary residence on a 0.95-acre parcel, subject to conditions of approval. Owner/Applicant: Mark R. Gardeski. Application No. PLA24-000129. (District 2)]

405 01296. TO AUTHORIZE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A PRIMARY RESIDENCE ON A 0.95 ACRE PARCEL, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. OWNER AND APPLICANT MARK GARDESKI, APPLICATION NUMBER PLA 24-000129.

STEPHANIE, WELCOME. GOOD MORNING, CHAIR MALLORY, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M STEPHANIE JOHNSON, PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND I AM HERE THIS MORNING TO PRESENT TO YOU MR. GARDESKI'S REQUEST FOR A USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME IN AN R-1 L ZONING DISTRICT.

AND THE LET'S SEE, WE'LL GO HERE. OKAY. THIS MATTER WAS HEARD BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON FEBRUARY 20TH.

THERE WAS A 6 TO 3 VOTE WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF THIS USE PERMIT.

[00:50:03]

COMMISSIONER PETERSON MADE THE MOTION AND COMMISSIONER OSTERMAN SECONDED THE MOTION.

COMMISSIONERS GRIFFITHS AND RADOCCIA AND CHERRY WERE ALL OPPOSED.

COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN IS HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.

SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS . THIS SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED IN DISTRICT TWO.

THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED AT 4925 NORTH THUNDERHEAD TRAIL IN THE COMMUNITY OF RIMROCK.

TO THE NORTH AND THE NORTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS AN R1-10 ZONING.

TO THE SOUTH, THE WEST AND THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS SURROUNDED BY A SIMILAR R1L ZONED DISTRICT.

MR. GARDESKI IS REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF A PERMANENT AND TRANSFERABLE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A PRIMARY RESIDENCE ON A PARCEL ZONED R1L, WHICH ONLY ALLOWS FOR SITE BUILT STRUCTURES.

IN THIS IMAGE YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGE FROM THE SITE BUILT ONLY R1L ZONING DISTRICT IN THE DARK YELLOW TO THE MANUFACTURED HOMES. ALLOWED R1 ZONING DISTRICT IN THE PALE YELLOW.

LOT 271 IS LOCATED IN THE LAKE MONTEZUMA HILLS AMENDED SUBDIVISION LOT 272 JUST TO THE NORTH IS LOCATED IN THE LAKE MONTEZUMA HILLS SUBDIVISION.

NO AMENDMENT. OUR RESEARCH OF THIS SUBDIVISION INDICATES THAT THIS SUBDIVISION WAS PLATTED WITH THESE TWO DIFFERENTLY ZONED SECTIONS. AT A MINIMUM THIS ZONING HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE AT LEAST 1999.

IN THIS IMAGE, YOU CAN STILL SEE THAT CHANGE FROM THE SITE BUILT ONLY R1L ZONING DISTRICT TO THE MANUFACTURED HOMES ALLOWED R1 ZONING DISTRICT.

YOU CAN ALSO SEE ON THE LOTS TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL, WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH MANUFACTURED HOMES.

IN THIS IMAGE YOU CAN SEE TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS R1L SITE BUILT ONLY ZONING.

THE GIS MAPPING TOOL IMAGE SHOWS THAT NO HOMES HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED YET ON THAT NEARBY R1L ZONED PARCELS. IMAGE IS A LITTLE BIT BLURRY. WE'LL GET TO A BETTER ONE NEXT, BUT THIS IS AN OVERALL VIEW OF THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION.

MR. GARDESKI IS NOT ASKING FOR ANY CHANGES TO THE REQUIRED SETBACKS OF 20FT IN THE FRONT, 25FT IN THE REAR AND SEVEN FEET ON THE SIDES. HERE'S A ZOOMED IN PICTURE OF THAT SITE PLAN, WHERE YOU CAN SEE HE IS MEETING THOSE DENSITY REQUIREMENTS AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

NOW WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE SITE PHOTOS AND THE AERIAL VIEWS.

WE HAD SOME WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHY DONE BY ONE OF OUR OTHER PLANNERS, TIM OLSON, WHO DID SOME DRONE IMAGERY FOR THIS FOR BOTH OF THESE APPLICATIONS.

VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE THAT GOOD IMAGERY. SO THIS VIEW IS LOOKING SOUTHEAST FROM THE FRONT END OF THE PARCEL, LOOKING TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE PARCEL. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE HEARING NOTICE POSTED AT THE FRONT OF THE PARCEL.

HERE'S ANOTHER OVERHEAD VIEW. THIS IS LOOKING EAST.

YOU CAN SEE THUNDERHEAD TRAIL WHERE YOU ACCESS THE PARCEL COMING IN.

AND THIS HERE IS THE SUBJECT PARCEL DOWN TO THE SOUTH.

IS THAT A MANUFACTURED HOME RIGHT NEXT TO HIM? YES, SIR THAT IS. HERE'S ANOTHER OVERHEAD VIEW LOOKING SOUTHEAST.

AGAIN, EXISTING MANUFACTURED HOMES IN VIEW. THIS VIEW IS LOOKING NORTH.

YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THESE HOMES THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED THROUGH HERE ARE ALL MANUFACTURED HOMES.

THIS VIEW IS LOOKING NORTH WHERE YOU ENTER THUNDERHEAD TRAIL TO TRAVEL TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

THERE WAS IT'S SORT OF AN INTERESTING AREA. SO I TRIED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A GOOD FEEL OF HOW THIS IS LAID OUT AND SOME OF THE GAPS IN THE ROADWAY CONNECTION AND VARIOUS THINGS. SO YOU CAN SEE THUNDERHEAD TRAIL COMING IN.

THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD ENTER. AND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS RIGHT OVER HERE WHERE THIS BLUE CIRCLE IS.

YOU CAN SEE OVER TO THE RIGHT WHERE I HAVE INDICATED THE SAME AREA.

THIS IS ALL THUNDERHEAD TRAIL, BUT THERE IS A BREAK IN THE MIDDLE.

[00:55:01]

IT'S JUST AN INTERESTING LITTLE SUBDIVISION SET UP THERE.

THIS VIEW IS LOOKING SOUTH ALONG THUNDERHEAD TRAIL TOWARDS THAT BREAK AGAIN UP ON THE HILL.

THIS OVERHEAD VIEW IS LOOKING WEST. YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE PARCEL IN VIEW AND ON RIGHT.

ON THE RIGHT YOU CAN SEE THE SNIPPET OF THAT PARCEL CONFIGURATION.

SO YOU CAN GET A GOOD FEEL OF WHERE THOSE PARCEL LINES FALL IN THAT IMAGE.

ALL RIGHT. ANOTHER LITTLE OVERHEAD. YOU CAN SEE THE PROBABLY BARELY SEE FROM THERE, BUT THERE ARE CHALK LINES HERE THAT INDICATE THE AREA OF PLACEMENT FOR THAT MANUFACTURED HOME. ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS THE DIRECTLY ADJACENT NEIGHBOR, WHICH IS A MANUFACTURED HOME, AND THAT NEIGHBOR HAS PROVIDED A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THE APPLICANT FOR THIS PLACEMENT.

SO WE'LL GET TO SOME MORE GROUND LEVEL VIEWS.

THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THAT PLACEMENT OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME.

THIS VIEW IS LOOKING EAST. AGAIN ANOTHER VIEW OF THAT PROPOSED PLACEMENT.

THIS ONE IS LOOKING SOUTHEAST. THIS IS THE FRONT VIEW LOOKING TOWARD THE REAR OF THE PARCEL.

IN THIS VIEW, I'M STANDING APPROXIMATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARCEL.

YOU CAN SEE THE SEPTIC TANK RISERS THERE FOR THE SEPTIC SYSTEM AND THE PROPOSED PLACEMENT AT THE FRONT END OF THE PARCEL.

WHY IS SEPTIC ALREADY INSTALLED? SEPTIC HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN PREPARATION FOR PLACING A HOME THERE.

INITIALLY, MR. GARDESKI WAS LOOKING AT PLACING A SITE, A SITE BUILT HOME, BUT RAN INTO SOME CONCERNS HIMSELF SO THAT HE WAS EXPLORING ANOTHER AVENUE SO THAT IT WAS INSTALLED WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF RESIDING ON THIS PARCEL PERMANENTLY.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

THIS MAP HERE SHOWS THE 1000 FOOT DISTRIBUTION RADIUS YOU CAN SEE IN GRAY.

THESE ARE ALL OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES THAT THE APPLICANT WAS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE NOTICE OF HIS PROPOSED REQUEST TO.

THE APPLICANT MAILED LETTERS TO ALL OF THE PROPERTIES WITHIN 1000FT ON SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2004.

24, NOT 2004, 2024. AND HE HELD AN ON SITE MEETING IN OCTOBER OF 2024.

NOBODY APPEARED FOR THE ON SITE MEETING. MR. GARDESKI WAS THERE AND AVAILABLE, BUT THERE WERE NOBODY DID APPEAR.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SENT OUT LETTERS TO THAT SAME RADIUS OF PROPERTY OWNERS, AND WE ALSO POSTED THE PROPERTY WITH THE HEARING NOTICE.

THE ONLY COMMENT OF SUPPORT THAT HAS BEEN RECEIVED WAS SUPPLIED BY THE APPLICANT.

STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT VIA SURVEY, EMAIL, LETTER OR OTHERWISE.

THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS DESIGNATED AS A RESIDENTIAL 0 TO 1 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE SUBJECT APPLICATION FOR A USE PERMIT IS ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOAL SIX IN THAT STAFF IS FACILITATING THE PROCESS BY WHICH A PROPERTY OWNER CAN WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PROPOSE LAND USE DECISIONS THROUGH THE PROPER PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

IN SUMMARY, MR. GARDESKI IS HERE TODAY TO REQUEST CONSIDERATION OF A PERMANENT AND TRANSFERABLE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A PRIMARY RESIDENCE ON AN APPROXIMATE 0.95 ACRE PARCEL IN THE R-1 L ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR SITE BUILT STRUCTURES ONLY SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

STAFF IS TAKING A NEUTRAL POSITION ON THIS REQUEST, AS THE R1L ZONING DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS PLACEMENT OF MANUFACTURED HOMES.

SHOULD THE BOARD FIND THIS TO BE AN APPROPRIATE LAND USE AND CHOOSE TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION, STAFF SUGGESTS THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

A PERMANENT AND TRANSFERABLE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

THE APPLICANT MUST OBTAIN ALL REQUIRED BUILDING PERMITS FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING WITHIN TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVAL. PROPOSED MANUFACTURED HOME TO BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE LETTER OF INTENT AND TO BE PERMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE TO BE ISSUED WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVAL,

[01:00:01]

CONFIRMING ALL STIPULATIONS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

THE USE IS OPERATING IN CONFORMANCE WITH ALL APPROVALS, ALL BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, AND THE USE IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE COUNTY, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS OR THE USE PERMIT WILL BECOME NULL AND VOID.

IN THE EVENT THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FILES A CLAIM UNDER ARS SECTION 12-1134 REGARDING THIS USE PERMIT.

THE USE PERMIT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

WE DO HAVE PROPERTY OWNER MR. GARDESKI HERE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM HIM AS WELL AS COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN, SHOULD YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMMISSION DISCUSSIONS? THANK YOU STEPHANIE. ALSO, I WAS REMISS. THIS IS DISTRICT TWO.

THIS IS DISTRICT TWO. AND WE DO HAVE ONE CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

ANNIE WAGNER. JUST MAKE SURE TO STATE YOUR NAME.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I AM ANNIE WAGNER, THE SOUTHWEST HOMES OPERATIONS MANAGER.

I'M HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT MR. GARDESKI'S REQUEST FOR A ZONING VARIANCE.

I'M HERE TO HIGHLIGHT WHY A FACTORY BUILT HOME IS A SMART CHOICE FOR OUR CUSTOMER.

FACTORY BUILT HOMES COST 20% LESS THAN SITE BUILT HOMES, MAKING HOME OWNERSHIP MORE AFFORDABLE.

IN TODAY'S ECONOMY WE NEED ALL THE SAVINGS WE CAN GET.

A FACTORY BUILT HOME CAN BE COMPLETED IN 2 TO 3 MONTHS, COMPARED TO 6 TO 12 MONTHS FOR A SITE BUILT ALLOWING OUR CUSTOMER TO MOVE IN FASTER.

ANY CONCERNS THAT MAY COME UP REGARDING THE EXISTING SEPTIC SYSTEM AND THE FACTORY BUILT HOME OF CHOICE WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING PERMITTING AND COMPLETED THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS. IN CLOSING, FACTORY BUILT HOMES OFFER A FASTER, MORE AFFORDABLE SOLUTION WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT IN APPROVING THIS VARIANCE.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? YES. ANNIE. DO MANUFACTURED HOMES NEED AN AFFIDAVIT OF A FIXTURE OR IS THAT JUST MOBILE HOMES? SO THAT AFFIDAVIT OF FIXTURE IS ONLY NEEDED IF IT IS A LOAN REQUIREMENT.

IF IT'S A CASH TRANSACTION, IT'S UP TO THE HOMEOWNER.

IF THEY WANTED TO FIX IT INTO ONE TAX BILL. SO IT AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A HOME RATHER THAN A VEHICLE.

AT FIRST IF THE FIXTURE IS NOT DONE, IT BECOMES A VEHICLE WITH ONE TAX BILL AND THE LAND TAX BILL.

WE USE ESCROW YAVAPAI TITLE AGENCY AS OUR ESCROW TEAM, AND WE PUSH AFFIDAVITS OF THE FIXTURES FOR ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES.

DOES EVERYBODY DO THAT OR JUST YOU GUYS? I MEAN, I WOULD JUST THE REASON I'M SAYING LIKE WE HAD CONDITIONS THAT THAT WERE PUTTING UP THAT HAVE TO BE MET, I WOULD THINK THAT SHOULD BE ADDED INTO THOSE CONDITIONS.

I WOULD AGREE. SOUTHWEST HOMES, WE DO IT. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ANY OF OUR COMPETITORS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR OTHER QUESTIONS, CHAIR.

NO I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT. THANK YOU.

I'M GOOD TO GO. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO NOW OR LATER? THAT'S FINE. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YEAH.

FOR THE CLERK OF THE BOARD? NO. JUST THAT THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

OKAY. OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. DISCUSSION.

NO. I'LL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION. AND I SECOND.

OKAY. MOTION AND A SECOND. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. NO. CHAIR MALLORY. AND ONLY BECAUSE I HAD A FEW THINGS TO ASK STAFF AND THE PEOPLE, BUT. OKAY, SO WE BETTER RETRACK HERE. I THOUGHT YOU MADE A MOTION FOR THE ITEM.

NO. OKAY, WELL, WE HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE THEN. HOW DOES THIS WORK? CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. YEAH. THERE THEN WAS NO MOTION MADE.

SO THERE CAN BE NO SECOND. SO THE BOARD IS FREE TO ENGAGE IN DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM BEFORE TAKING A VOTE.

OKAY. DISCUSSION. YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU. WHY WAS THERE.

NO WHY WERE THERE NO VOTES FROM P & Z? IS IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT ZONED THIS WAY AND THEY FEEL IT SHOULD STAY NOT ZONED THIS WAY.

AND THAT'S WHY I'D LIKE TO BRING UP COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN SO SHE CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSIONERS, BECAUSE IT WAS A 5, 4? 6, 3. 6, 3. THANK YOU.

HELLO. I'M COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN WITH DISTRICT TWO, AND IT'S MY HONOR TO GIVE YOU FEEDBACK ON OUR COMMISSION PROCESS WITH THIS.

IT WAS UNUSUAL THAT WE HAD A SPLIT VOTE. SIX THREE.

COMMISSIONER RADOCCIA IS ALSO PRESENT TODAY, AND HE MAY WISH TO SPEAK TO HIS OWN OBJECTION.

BUT OUR ESTEEMED VICE CHAIR MAN, SANDY GRIFFIS, FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT THE APPLICANT SHOULD CONSIDER YAVAPAI COUNTY'S HOME OF MY OWN PROGRAM AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE HARDSHIPS HE SUGGESTED WERE PRESENT IN THE BUILDING CONDITIONS.

[01:05:06]

I THINK THAT COMMISSIONER CHERRY AND RADOCCIA FELT VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THESE ZONING LINES, WHETHER THEY'RE DRAWN IN THE SAND OR DRAWN IN THE RIMROCK, THAT WE ABIDE BY THEM.

THOSE OF US VOTING YES. AND I WAS ONE OF THOSE.

I'VE LOOKED AT THE VERY ORGANIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE BEAVER CREEK COMMUNITY.

WE NOTED THAT THE BEAVER CREEK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, WHICH FREQUENTLY GIVES FEEDBACK ON MATTERS OF ZONING EXCEPTIONS, DID NOT COMMENT ON THIS, AND THEY ARE NOT HERE TODAY TO COMMENT AS WELL.

THERE WAS LITERALLY NO OBJECTION FROM ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS.

I WOULD NOTE IF YOU NOTICED THE REFERENCES TO FLOOD CONTROL OR THE RIVER, THAT IN FACT THE WATERWAY IN CONSIDERATION HERE IS WHAT BEAVER CREEK, NOT THE VERDE RIVER.

BUT AGAIN, NO ISSUES WITH THAT. AND THERE WAS NOTHING TOPOGRAPHICALLY, NO VEGETATIVE BUFFER, ANYTHING THAT SUGGESTED THAT THE PLACEMENT OF THIS MANUFACTURED HOME WAS OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THE WAY THAT AREA IS REALLY DEVELOPING, AND PARTICULARLY THE ODDITY OF THE B ROKEN ROAD SEGMENT THERE WITH THESE TWO CUL DE SACS.

LITERALLY, YOU GO FROM LOT TO LOT WHERE A MANUFACTURED HOME WAS, OKAY ONE PLACE AND THEN NOT THE NEXT.

AND YET THE WAY THE AREA IS DEVELOPING INDICATES THAT MANUFACTURED HOMES ARE CUSTOMARY AND POSSIBLY PREFERRED BY THE PUBLIC.

SO. BUT IT'S ONE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION DEFINITELY IS WRESTLING WITH AS WELL WHEN WE SEND THESE FORWARD TO YOU FOR OUR RECOMMENDATION.

AND YOU KNOW, THE NO LETTERS AGAINST IS HUGE FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, LIKE THEN YOU REALLY GOT TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE FIRST, WHEN I READ THIS, THE PART OF THE PACKET, I WAS LIKE, WHY IS THIS COMING TO US? YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY, BUT WE'RE CHANGING A ZONING, WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON WHY IT'S BIG THAT WE'RE DOING THE ZONING STUDY THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND SPENDING ALL THAT MONEY ON THAT.

BUT TO MR. GARDESKI'S LETTER THAT HE WROTE, SOMETHING REALLY JUST POPPED OUT AT ME.

AND HE SAYS IN HIS LETTER, I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING A TRUSTWORTHY BUILDER TO BUILD A HOME FOR ME ON MY PROPERTY AT A PRICE THAT I CAN AFFORD.

AND I THINK THIS IS BECOMING MORE COMMON AND MORE COMMON AND MORE COMMON ALL THE TIME, WHERE THE WORKING CLASS CAN'T FIND A PLACE TO LIVE OF THEIR OWN, AND THEIR ONLY CHOICE IS TO RENT. SO I WOULD SUPPORT HIM BEING ABLE TO DO THIS.

AND THE NO LETTERS AGAINST IS HUGE. AND THE ONLY OTHER MENTION I HAD FOR STAFF IS I THINK WHEN WE GET THESE KIND OF THINGS, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THIS KIND OF IMAGERY ON HERE, BUT IT WOULD SURE BE NICE TO HAVE A RED LINE ON THERE AS WELL, SHOWING THE WHOLE PROPERTY. SO THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU AND WITH MY LITTLE COMMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

ALL IN. OKAY, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

ALL RIGHT. SURE. OKAY, I'LL SECOND THAT. THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES.

CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU. AND JUST AS A LITTLE ASIDE, IT'S ME WHO DRAWS IN THE RED LINES.

AND THIS WAS A HARD ONE. YEAH. WHEN IT'S SQUARE, I CAN DO IT A LOT BETTER.

IT'S JUST BEING HONEST. BECAUSE I THINK WHAT REALLY CAME IN WAS THAT HOUSE RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

AND KNOWING THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURED BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY LOOK MANUFACTURED AND THEY'RE NOT.

SO. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. AND WE DO. I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT WE SURELY APPRECIATE THE APPLICANT BEING HERE AND WISH HIM THE BEST WITH HIS RESIDENCE.

BLESSINGS TO YOU, SIR. ON THE HEARING ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3.

OWNER FORDYCE WOODS. DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THAT RIGHT.

TRUST AGENT ARCHITECTURE WORKS GREEN INC BY REBECCA RADOCCIA.

APPLICANT NUMBER PLA24 000119. AGAIN DISTRICT TWO.

AGAIN STEPHANIE, WELCOME. GOOD MORNING AGAIN, CHAIR MALLORY AND SUPERVISORS OF THE BOARD.

I'M STEPHANIE JOHNSON, PLANNER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

AND THIS ROUTE I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO YOU MR. FORDYCE WOODS REQUEST FOR A USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A SECOND RESIDENCE ON A MULTI

[01:10:04]

ZONED 1.03 ACRE PARCEL. THIS MATTER WAS ALSO HEARD ON FEBRUARY 20TH WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THERE WAS A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FOR THIS APPLICATION.

COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN MADE THE MOTION. COMMISSIONER COTHERN SECONDED THE MOTION AND THAT MOTION WAS UNANIMOUS.

WE DO HAVE MISS BUCHANAN HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.

THIS PARCEL IS ALSO LOCATED IN DISTRICT TWO. THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED AT 1090 SOUTH SHEEPSHEAD CROSSING ROAD IN THE COMMUNITY OF CORNVILLE. THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS A MULTI ZONED R1L-70 AND R2-10 ZONED PARCEL.

THE ADJACENT ZONING DISTRICTS ARE R1L-70 ZONING TO THE NORTH, C2-10 AND R2-10 ZONING TO THE SOUTH, R1L-70, R2 -10, AND C2 -10 ZONING TO THE WEST, AND R1L-70 AND R2-10 ZONING TO THE EAST.

WE HAVE QUITE A LITTLE MIXED MASH IN THIS ONE CONCENTRATED LITTLE AREA OF MULTIPLE ZONING DISTRICTS.

HERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOSE UP VIEW. MR. WOODS IS REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF A PERMANENT AND TRANSFERABLE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A SECONDARY RESIDENCE ON A MULTI ZONED R1L-70 AND R2 -10 PARCEL.

IN THIS IMAGE, YOU CAN SEE THE R1L-70 ZONING DISTRICT IN DARK YELLOW AND THE R2-10 ZONING IN ORANGE.

THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS TO GET COMPLICATED. THE R1L ZONED PORTION OF THE PARCEL ALLOWS FOR SITE BUILT ONLY STRUCTURES.

A MANUFACTURED HOME IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE R1L ZONING DISTRICT.

ADDITIONALLY, IN THE R1L ZONING DISTRICT, A PARCEL MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 70,000FT² IN AREA TO ALLOW FOR A GUEST HOME. THE ENTIRE SUBJECT PARCEL IS APPROXIMATELY 44,866FT².

THEREFORE TOO SMALL TO ALLOW FOR A GUEST HOME UNDER THE R1L ZONING CRITERIA.

NOW, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXISTING SITE BUILT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IS LOCATED IN BOTH ZONING DISTRICTS.

WHILE MOST OF THE HOME IS WITHIN THE R1L ZONING, THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE HOME CROSSES INTO THE R2 ZONED PORTION OF THE PARCEL.

IN ADDITION TO THE PARCEL SIZE BEING INADEQUATE FOR A GUEST HOME, THE PROPOSED MANUFACTURED HOME ALSO EXCEEDS THE SIZE LIMITATION OF 750FT² FOR A GUEST HOME. WE ALSO ALSO EXPLORED THE OPTION OF A MINOR LAND DIVISION TO SPLIT THE PARCEL INTO TWO. HOWEVER, THAT WAS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION, AS THE R1L-70 PORTION IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO MEET THE MINIMUM DENSITY DISTRICT STANDARDS FOR THE 70 DENSITY DISTRICT.

THEREFORE, A MINOR LAND DIVISION COULDN'T BE APPROVED FOR THIS PARCEL.

THE R2 ZONED PORTION ALLOWS FOR A MULTIFAMILY DWELLING UNIT SUCH AS A DUPLEX.

IT WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME, WHICH COULD BE SITE BUILT, MANUFACTURED, OR FACTORY BUILT MODULAR HOME IF IT WERE A VACANT AND UNDEVELOPED PARCEL. THE R2 ZONING ALLOWS FOR A PRIMARY HOME AND A GUEST HOME IF THE PARCEL IS AT LEAST 35,000FT² IN AREA. AGAIN, THIS ENTIRE PARCEL IS 44,866FT².

THEREFORE, IF THE ENTIRE PARCEL WAS ZONED R2, THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO A RESIDENCE AND A GUEST HOME.

HOWEVER, THE R2 PORTION OF THE PARCEL IS ONLY APPROXIMATELY 2400FT² AND AGAIN TOO SMALL TO ALLOW FOR A GUEST HOME. ANOTHER TWIST TO IT MR. WOODS IS NOT REQUESTING A GUEST HOME ALLOWANCE.

HE IS REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF A SECONDARY HOME.

NEITHER THE R1L NOR THE R2 ZONING DISTRICTS WILL ALLOW FOR TWO PRIMARY HOMES.

IT'S AN INTERESTING ONE. HERE IS A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN.

MR. WOODS IS NOT REQUESTING ANY CHANGES TO SETBACKS.

THE REQUIRED SETBACKS FOR THIS PARCEL ARE 40FT IN THE FRONT AND REAR AND 20FT ON THE SIDES.

THE SETBACKS ATTRIBUTED TO THE PARCEL ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE 35 DENSITY SETBACK, AND THAT IS AS A RESULT OF LOOKING AT THE PARCEL SIZE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ZONING DISTRICTS TO ALLOW FOR THE BEST BUILDING AREA FOR THE PARCEL.

[01:15:01]

LET'S GET INTO SOME PROPERTY PHOTOS. HERE'S AN OVERHEAD VIEW LOOKING SOUTHWEST.

YOU CAN SEE THE SELF-STORAGE UNITS IN THE BACKGROUND.

THE POST OFFICE AS WELL AS SHEEPSHEAD CROSSING, WHICH IS WHAT'S ACCESSING THE PARCEL.

AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE I CAN DRAW GOOD STRAIGHT LINES FOR YOU TO SEE, BUT I AM A LITTLE CHALLENGED ON THE CURVY ONES.

SO THE OVERHEAD VIEW LOOKING SOUTH TOWARDS CORNVILLE ROAD, YOU CAN SEE AGAIN THE POST OFFICE THERE IN THE BACKGROUND.

AND YOU CAN SEE CORNVILLE ROAD RUNNING JUST THERE IN THE VERY BACKGROUND.

THIS OVERHEAD VIEW IS LOOKING NORTH. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE TWO EXISTING MANUFACTURED MOBILE HOMES ON THE WEST SIDE, ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT PARCEL. THOSE WOULD BE LOCATED.

WHERE'S MY MOUSE? OVER HERE. THIS OVERHEAD VIEW IS LOOKING EAST.

HERE'S ANOTHER OVERHEAD VIEW WITH THE SELF-STORAGE UNITS, THE POST OFFICE AND THOSE ADJACENT MANUFACTURED MOBILE HOMES ALSO IN VIEW.

THIS VIEW IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG SHEEPSHEAD CROSSING ROAD.

THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ALONG SHEEPSHEAD CROSSING THE ENTRANCE INTO THE SUBJECT PARCEL.

YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING SITE BUILT HOME IN THE VIEW THERE.

THERE IS A FULL PICTURE OF THAT EXISTING SITE BUILT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.

NOW HERE, AS WE STEP INSIDE OF THE FENCE AND LOOK TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE APPROXIMATE PLACEMENT IS IN COMPARISON WITH THE SITE PLAN THERE ON THE RIGHT.

YOU WOULD BE LOOKING DIRECTLY BACK AT THAT PROPOSED PLACEMENT.

HERE'S THE SOUTH END OF THE PARCEL WHERE THE PROPOSED MANUFACTURED HOME WILL BE PLACED.

YOU SEE, IT'S BEEN GRADED AND PREPARED. THIS VIEW FROM THE SOUTH END OF THE PARCELS LOOKING UP TOWARDS THE HOME AGAIN, JUST GIVING YOU ANOTHER VIEW OF WHERE THAT PROPOSED MANUFACTURED HOME WOULD BE PLACED AS IT ALIGNS WITH THAT SITE PLAN THERE.

ONE MORE VIEW OF THAT PLACEMENT. AND THEN LET'S TALK ABOUT CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

FIRST I NEED TO CLARIFY THE RECORD JUST A LITTLE BIT.

PREVIOUSLY, AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, I MISTAKENLY STATED THAT THE CORNVILLE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION HAD NOT PROVIDED A WRITTEN RESPONSE, AND THAT WAS MY FAULT. I INADVERTENTLY LEFT THAT OUT.

THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU. YOU DO HAVE THE CORNVILLE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LETTER, BUT I WANTED TO NOTE THAT THAT WAS NOT PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AND THAT WAS MY THAT WAS MY MISTAKE IN MISSING THAT.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THAT AVAILABLE.

THEY DO NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC OBJECTION TO THIS APPLICATION.

SO IN CONTINUING TO DISCUSS CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, THE MAP HERE ON THE SCREEN SHOWS THE 1000 FOOT DISTRIBUTION RADIUS AS REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE. THE APPLICANT MAILED LETTERS TO ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 1000FT ON OCTOBER 28TH OF 2024 AND HELD AN ON SITE MEETING NOVEMBER 14TH OF 2024.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ALSO SENT OUT LETTERS TO THAT SAME 1000 FOOT RADIUS, AND THE PROPERTY WAS POSTED WITH THE HEARING NOTICE.

THE APPLICANT NOTES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES THAT THERE WERE FOUR NEIGHBORS THAT APPEARED AT THE ON SITE MEETING, AND NO OPPOSITION WAS EXPRESSED. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS RECEIVED ONE SURVEY ONE, TWO THREE RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICATION.

THE RESPONSE WAS FROM A PROPERTY OWNER LOCATED WELL OUTSIDE OF THE 1000 FOOT RADIUS OFF OF SOUTH ASPAAS ROAD.

WHAT WAS THE OBJECTION? I BELIEVE I HAVE THAT IN THE PACKET HERE, I APOLOGIZE.

I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT READING YOUR WELL PREPARED PACKET.

IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT. LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT NOT HAVE INCLUDED THAT.

HONESTLY, THE OPPOSITION WAS WE HAVE ZONING IN PLACE AND THEY SHOULD FOLLOW THE ZONING.

IT WAS A VERY JUST SIMPLE WE HAVE ZONING IN PLACE.

THEY SHOULD FOLLOW THE ZONING. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO THE PARCEL OR NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT ON THAT ON THAT COMMENT.

I COULD CERTAINLY FORWARD THAT TO YOU GUYS AFTER THE MEETING, BUT I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THAT WITH ME RIGHT AT THE MOMENT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, I THINK I HAVE MANY ZONINGS.

YES. RIGHT. IT'S VERY CONFUSING IN THAT AREA BECAUSE OF THOSE MANY ZONINGS AND HOW THE PARCELS ARE MULTI ZONED.

[01:20:02]

THEREFORE ALLOWING MULTI USES TO AN EXTENT. YEAH.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN. HOW DOES ONE PART DID HE BUY A SECOND PARCEL IN A DIFFERENT ZONING AND COMBINE.

BEST AS I COULD TELL THROUGH ALL OF MY RESEARCH THAT ZONING HE PURCHASED IT THAT WAY AND HOW IT GOT THERE WE CAN'T QUITE FIGURE OUT HOW IT GOT THERE, BUT IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE HE PURCHASED. IT HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE HE'S OWNED IT.

WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON WHY OUR HALF MILLION IS GOING TO BE MONEY WELL SPENT IN THREE YEARS.

FOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE. YES, YES, IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL.

I WON'T GET CAUGHT UP ON THAT ONE. SO MOVING ON.

THE PARCEL IS DESIGNATED AS A RESIDENTIAL 0 TO 1 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE SUBJECT PARCEL AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS, CONFORMS TO THE LARGE LOT COMMUNITY ASPECT OF HAVING ONE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT PER 1.03 ACRE PARCEL. STAFF BELIEVES THAT THIS SUBJECT APPLICATION FOR A USE PERMIT IS ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOAL SIX IN THAT STAFF IS FACILITATING THE PROCESS BY WHICH A PROPERTY OWNER CAN WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO PROPOSE LAND USE DECISIONS THROUGH THE PROPER PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.

IN SUMMARY. IN SUMMARY, MR. WOODS IS HERE TODAY TO REQUEST CONSIDERATION OF A PERMANENT AND TRANSFERABLE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A SECOND RESIDENCE ON A MULTI ZONED 1.03 ACRE PARCEL IN THE R1L-70 AND R2-10 ZONING DISTRICTS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

STAFF AGAIN IS TAKING A NEUTRAL POSITION ON THIS REQUEST, AS THE R1L AND R2 ZONING DISTRICTS DO NOT SUPPORT THE REQUEST.

SHOULD THE BOARD FIND THIS TO BE AN APPROPRIATE LAND USE AND CHOOSE TO APPROVE THIS APPLICATION, STAFF SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

A PERMANENT AND TRANSFERABLE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF A MANUFACTURED HOME AS A SECOND RESIDENCE.

THE APPLICANT MUST OBTAIN ALL REQUIRED BUILDING PERMITS FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING WITHIN ONE YEAR, FROM THE DATE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVAL.

PROPERTY BE MAINTAINED IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE LETTER OF INTENT AND THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, CODE, APPLICABLE CODES, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE TO BE ISSUED WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVAL CONFIRMING ALL STIPULATIONS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

THE USE IS OPERATING IN CONFORMANCE WITH ALL APPROVALS.

ALL BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, AND THE USE IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE COUNTY, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS OR THE USE PERMIT WILL BECOME NULL AND VOID.

IN THE EVENT THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FILES A CLAIM UNDER ARS SECTION 12-1134 REGARDING THIS USE PERMIT THIS USE PERMIT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. WE HAVE COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN HERE.

WE HAVE RENNIE RADOCCHIA HERE. AND WE DO HAVE MR. WOODS HERE AS WELL. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF FROM THE BOARD OR DISCUSSION? OF COURSE. SO ON YOUR REQUIREMENTS, YOU HEARD MY QUESTION OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME LADY BEFORE.

IS AFFIDAVIT OF A FIXTURE INCLUDED IN THAT. SO WE DON'T GET INTO THE TAX END OF IT IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

SO WE DON'T TYPICALLY HAVE ANY TYPE OF STIPULATIONS WITH REGARD TO A FIXTURE, AS IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S REQUIRED THROUGH OUR PERMITTING PROCESS OR ANY OF THE PROCESSES THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HANDLES. I CAN CERTAINLY ADD ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DESIRE.

HOWEVER, IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING WE ADDRESS IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

IT'S A TAX, A TAX THING. BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF PROPERTIES SOMETIMES THEY NEVER GET THAT DONE.

AND THEN WE THEN IT'S TAXED AS A CAR OR RV OR WHATEVER RATHER THAN A HOME.

SO JUST KIND OF MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE PERMANENT.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMED LIKE CORNVILLE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION DIDN'T OBJECT, BUT THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE SENTENCE HAD A LEGITIMATE CONCERN, AND THEY SAID THEY WERE TAKING A NEUTRAL STANCE ON THIS CASE WITH THE RESERVATION THAT BY ALLOWING A USE PERMIT IN THIS CASE, WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO MORE REQUESTS FOR USE FOR PERMITS TO OVERRIDE ZONING, THAT THE COUNTY WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO DENY.

AND THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. SO IF WE DO THIS FOR THIS GENTLEMAN, CAN THE NEXT PERSON DO IT AND THE NEXT PERSON DO IT? I THINK THERE'S UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THIS THING AND I WON'T OPPOSE IT, BUT I THINK THEY HAVE A LEGITIMATE CONCERN AND ANOTHER REASON WHY WE NEED TO GET OUR ZONING TOGETHER. SO WE'RE PUTTING A SECOND

[01:25:06]

RESIDENT ON THE PROPERTY AND IF YOU WERE TO SELL THIS PROPERTY, PUT IT UP FOR SALE, IT WOULD ALL NEED TO BE SOLD AS ONE.

CORRECT. IS THAT RIGHT? WE COULD NOT ALLOW A SPLIT OF THIS PARCEL.

IT WON'T CONFORM TO THE MINIMUM DENSITY DISTRICT STANDARDS.

SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SOLD TOGETHER. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL THAT HELPS MY DECISION. AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO OUR ABSOLUTE STUDY.

YES, THIS WAS QUITE THE TEST. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN ONE OF THESE BEFORE LIKE THIS.

IT DEFINITELY IS A CONFUSING ONE TO TO BREAK IT DOWN TO THOSE INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS, AND HOW THEY JUST DON'T MESH TOGETHER TO HELP COME UP WITH A SOLUTION HERE. MR. MATTHEW BLAKE WOULD LIKE TO SAY.

BLAKE. OH PARDON ME FOR INTERRUPTING. MATT BLAKE, PLANNING MANAGER.

I JUST UNDERSTAND THAT RENNIE RADOCCIA WANTED TO SPEAK IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CERTAINLY. FEEL FREE TO MR. RADOCCIA IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME ON UP. GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR HEARING THIS. REYNOLD RADOCCIA WITH ARCHITECTURE WORKS GREEN.

YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A TRICKY ONE FOR US TO TAKE FORDYCE HAS OWNED THIS PROPERTY FOR SOME TIME.

AND THE WAY IT'S SPLIT IN THE R-2 ZONE THERE HE CAN BUILD A SITE BUILT DUPLEX AND INCREASE THE DENSITY ON THE SITE. AND HE'S CHOOSING NOT TO DO THAT.

HE'S CHOOSING TO PUT A MANUFACTURED OR REQUESTING THE, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY TO PUT A MANUFACTURED HOUSE THERE SO HE COULD JUST WITHOUT JUST GO AND GET THE BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE DUPLEX.

SO THAT WOULD INCREASE TRAFFIC, IT WOULD INCREASE THE DENSITY ON THAT SITE.

SO I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, FOR US TO TAKE ON THE PROJECT, I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE BEST THAT HE COULD DO.

HE WANTS TO DEVELOP IT AND HE HAS A RIGHT TO DEVELOP IT.

SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS GIVING THE BEST POSSIBILITY TO FOR HIM TO DEVELOP IT.

SO IT'S VERY CONFUSING. IT TOOK US QUITE SOME TIME TO REALLY WRAP OUR HEADS AROUND THIS ZONING IN THIS AREA.

AND JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THAT, THE PARCEL RIGHT NEXT TO HIM IS ZONED COMMERCIAL, WHICH EVEN CONFUSES IT EVEN MORE.

SO I'M HOPING YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION AND HIS DESIRE TO DEVELOP IT.

AND AS FAR AS THE UTILITIES THERE HE CAN PUT, HE HAS A SEPTIC IN PLACE.

THE POWER IS THERE ON SITE. AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE BEST OF THE CHOICES. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT.

SO WHEN THAT FIRST HOME WAS PUT IN, A SEPTIC WAS PUT IN, AND THE SEPTIC REQUIREMENTS THEY FIGURE FOUR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE USING THE FACILITIES THAT WILL EMPTY INTO THAT SEPTIC.

NOW ARE WE TYING THAT SECOND HOME INTO THE SAME SEPTIC OR? THERE IS A NEW SEPTIC THERE? IN THE ANTICIPATION OF A POSSIBLE NEW BUILDING, A DUPLEX OR A NEW BUILDING.

SO T HEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT SHARING A SEPTIC.

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THIS COME UP BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SOMETIMES THEY WANT TO GATHER UP FAMILY.

IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE. THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER. BUT WE'VE HAD SOME INSTANCES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL WHERE PEOPLE JUST ADD IT WITHOUT A PERMIT AND TIE INTO THE EXISTING SEPTIC, AND WE'VE HAD A PLACE WHERE THERE'S THREE BUILDINGS IN THE SAME SEPTIC THAT WAS PERMITTED FOR ONE.

THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE. YEP. GREAT. THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS? NOPE. THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. AND I'LL SECOND MADAM CLERK.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES.

CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU.

FANTASTIC. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON INTO THE COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT.

[ COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT Pursuant to A.R.S. §38-431.02(K), the County Manager may present brief summaries of current events but no discussion may occur, and no action may be taken regarding anything that is presented.]

MR. THOMPSON. GOOD MORNING AGAIN. CHAIR, VICE CHAIR AND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

MAURY THOMPSON, COUNTY MANAGER. I WILL BE BRIEF THIS MORNING.

IF YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT MY UPDATE FOR THE DAY, YOU'LL NOTICE THE FIRST ITEM IS MOOT.

WE COVERED THAT IN THE ACTION ITEM, SO I'LL JUST MOVE INTO THE SECOND ONE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR CONNIE DEKEMPER WASN'T ABLE TO STAY BECAUSE I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HER RECENT CONTRIBUTIONS.

SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE'RE A MEMBER OF THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION, AND CONNIE RECENTLY PARTICIPATED IN AN ACTIVITY WITH THEM ALONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF ARIZONA. THEY HOLD A WINTER CONFERENCE HERE WHERE THEY CONVENE PUBLIC FINANCE OFFICERS FROM ACROSS THE STATE TO HEAR PRESENTATIONS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS IMPORTANT TO THEIR PROFESSION. ATTENDEES HEARD FROM A PANEL OF COUNTY PRACTITIONERS ON LESSONS LEARNED THROUGH THE PERMANENT BASE ADJUSTMENT AT THEIR MOST RECENT CONFERENCE, AND CONNIE WAS ASKED TO BE A MEMBER OF THAT THAT PANEL.

SO IT WAS MODERATED BY VANESSA FIELDER, WHOM, YOU KNOW, FROM CSA, OUR DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AND ANALYTICS.

SO CONNIE WAS ON THE PANEL ALONG WITH ERIKA PHILPOTT, THE DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER FROM COCONINO COUNTY, AND SIRI MULLANEY, THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FROM COCONINO COUNTY.

SESSION INCLUDED AN OVERVIEW OF THE BASIC FRAMEWORK, TIMELINES AND RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH PERMANENT BASE ADJUSTMENTS FOR EXPENDITURE LIMITS. THE PANELISTS HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATING BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND COUNTY PERSONNEL ON THE IMPLICATIONS OF OPERATING AT THE EXPENDITURE LIMIT, AND THE REASONS FOR ASKING VOTERS FOR AN ADJUSTMENT.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS REALLY THE FOCUS OF CONNIE'S PARTICIPATION.

SO JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF OUR STAFF DOING GREAT WORK ACROSS NOT ONLY IN YAVAPAI COUNTY, BUT ACROSS THE STATE, AND WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU THIS MORNING. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. THOMPSON. SO MOVING ON.
