[1. Board of Supervisors - Presentation recognizing the retirement of Mickey Rogers, in appreciation of his many years of service as Chief of Grants and Trails for Arizona State Parks and Trails, and as a partner to Yavapai County.]

BOARD OF SUPERVISOR PRESENTATIONS. RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF MICKEY ROGERS AND APPRECIATION OF HIS MANY YEARS OF SERVICE AS CHIEF OF GRANTS AND TRAILS FOR ARIZONA STATE PARKS AND TRAILS, AND AS A PARTNER TO YAVAPAI COUNTY.

I WILL NOW TURN THIS PRESENTATION OVER TO SUPERVISOR CHECK.

THANK YOU. CHAIR MALLORY. I WE DO HAVE A LITTLE PRESENTATION HERE.

AND, MICKEY, WOULD YOU COME UP TO THE PODIUM? WE'RE GONNA JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND CELEBRATE THE LAST 11 YEARS.

WORKING WITH MICKEY ROGERS, WHO'S BEEN THE CHIEF OF GRANTS AND TRAILS FOR ARIZONA STATE PARKS AND TRAILS.

AND WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT MICKEY, I THINK, IS THAT HE'S REALLY, TRULY CONNECTED WITH THE VISION THAT OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE HELD AND THAT'S REALLY OPTIONAL.

IT WASN'T IN YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION NECESSARILY TO TO HELP GUIDE THE ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS THAT WANTED TO SEE THOSE VISIONS COME ALIVE. BUT YOU DID THAT TO A DEGREE THAT HAS PRODUCED SO MANY MEANINGFUL PROJECTS COME TO FRUITION.

AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE, CELEBRATING YOU TODAY.

BUT I ALSO HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE THAT WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES I HEAR.

YUMA COUNTY DID A PRESENTATION FOR YOU AND SEVERAL OTHERS.

SO I ALSO HEAR THAT YOU DON'T LOVE THIS KIND OF ATTENTION.

THAT IS CORRECT, SO I APOLOGIZE, BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

ANYWAY ALL RIGHT, I DON'T KNOW. THIS IS MY FIRST PRESENTATION I'VE DONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE A CLICKER. OH, GREAT. THANK YOU, DREW.

ALL RIGHT, SO MICKEY STARTED IN 2014. YOU CAME FROM MAINE, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. AND MANY SIGNIFICANT GRANTS HAVE BEEN AWARDED OVER THOSE YEARS TO THE VERDE VALLEY AND OTHER PLACES IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

SO IN 2014, I'LL JUST KIND OF MOVE THROUGH THESE SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT, AT SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE.

YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE'S A THEME THAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS GET LARGER.

ON OCCASION AS YOU MOVE THROUGH THE YEARS. SPECIFICALLY, THERE'S A LOT OF EXCELLENT WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE AROUND OHV.

SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS OUR LAST MEETING THAT WE ACCEPTED THE VERY LAST GRANT.

SO THIS IS WORK THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

HERE'S CAMP VERDE, THE COMMUNITY PARK LOOP TRAIL.

THE VERDE CAMP VERDE FOR RILE CANYON TRAILHEAD, RED ROCK RANGER DISTRICT FOR OHV, A LOT OF BICYCLE WORK.

VERDE VALLEY CYCLIST COALITION. I MEAN, A NUMBER OF PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT NONPROFITS AND GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.

2021 WAS BUSY. LOOK AT ALL THOSE BULLET POINTS THERE.

[00:15:01]

2022 $6.2 MILLION FOR THE ROCK AND RIVER RANCH STATE PARK.

THAT WAS A REALLY BIG DEAL. THAT WAS IN THE WORKS FOR AT LEAST A DECADE OR MORE.

VERDE RIVER INSTITUTE FOR VERDE RIVER MONITORING.

ANOTHER A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS. THE WHEEL FUND.

PROGRAM DIRECTOR. I LOVE THIS PICTURE. THE COPPER CHIEF TRAIL IS A NEW ONE, AND I JUST LOVE.

I DEEPLY WANT A MINI EXCAVATOR. THAT'S LIKE THE TOY THAT I WOULD GET IF I WERE, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE MY DRUTHERS. SO IT'S REALLY FUN TO THINK ABOUT HOW SOME OF THESE TRAILS WERE BUILT.

I KNOW WE ALSO HAVE TOM PALMER FROM THE FOREST SERVICE HERE WHO'S HELPED SHEPHERD THE VOLUNTEER HOURS BEHIND THIS AS WELL.

SO IT'S REALLY BEEN TRULY COMMUNITY VISIONS COMING TOGETHER NOT ONLY THROUGH DOLLARS BUT ALSO VOLUNTEER SERVICE HOURS.

AND THERE'S ANOTHER GREAT PICTURE. THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO WHEN I RETIRE.

BUILD TRAILS. I JUST WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE A RECREATION ECONOMY IN THE VERDE VALLEY THAT THIS IS NOT JUST WORK THAT'S SUPPORTING US IN OUR RECREATIONAL ENDEAVORS.

THE FACT THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME WAS THAT EVERY TIME SOMEBODY SHOWS UP WITH A MOUNTAIN BIKE, YOU KNOW, FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO THEIR RECREATION AS A PART OF THEIR VACATION, SPENDS ABOUT $430 ON AVERAGE EVERY TIME THEY SHOW UP TO DO THAT. SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, AS OUR FEDERAL PUBLIC LANDS ARE COMING INTO QUESTION.

SO VERDE VALLEY WHEEL FUN. THE VERDE VALLEY CYCLISTS COALITION.

AND AGAIN THE OHV, THE OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE WITH CSO WHICH WE'VE RECENTLY CELEBRATED REALLY IMPORTANT WORK.

AND THEN CURRENT PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW, THE QUAIL SPRINGS TRAIL SYSTEM.

AND THEN THE REVITALIZATION OF THE SELMA MANGINI PARK IN CLARKSDALE.

THESE PROJECTS HAVE TOUCHED ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND IN TOTAL IN THE 11 YEARS MICKEY'S BEEN WITH STATE PARKS $9.5 MILLION JUST FOR FUNDING IN THE VERDE VALLEY. SO I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE IF YOU WANT TO ELUCIDATE MORE ON ANY OF THOSE PROJECTS.

AND WE ALSO HAVE KEVIN ADAMS WHO WANTS TO TO SAY A FEW THINGS.

THANKS AGAIN. MY NAME IS MICKEY ROGERS. I'M THE CHIEF OF GRANTS AND TRAILS.

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY AND STATEWIDE.

THE PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED EXPONENTIALLY IN THE LAST SINCE COVID, AS EVERYONE KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT OUTDOOR RECREATION IS, AND THESE PROJECTS WILL PROVIDE AREAS FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GO DURING DURING THOSE TIMES TO SAFELY RECREATE, BOTH FOR THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. SO IT'S BEEN GREAT WORK FROM THE COMMUNITY.

SEVERAL MORE PROJECTS. I THINK TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A AT THE BOARD MEETING.

THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR CHINO VALLEY THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROTECTED IN PERPETUITY.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO BE AWARDED TOMORROW. SO AGAIN, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE WORKING WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY AND THE PROJECT IN HERE.

AND HOPEFULLY WHEN I RETIRE, I'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO SPEND UP HERE AND RECREATE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, WE'LL HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL. YEAH.

AND WE HAVE KEVIN ADAMS HERE, WHO I WILL LET INTRODUCE HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WEARS A NUMBER OF HATS.

SO THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHECK CHAIRMAN MALLORY VICE CHAIR COMPTON SUPERVISORS.

SEDONA RED ROCK TRAIL FUND, I'M THEIR SECRETARY.

AND THE VERDE VALLEY TRAIL FUND. I'M THEIR CO-FOUNDER AND TREASURER.

I ALSO SERVE ON THE VERDE FRONT LEADERSHIP COUNCIL.

AND MICKEY, WHILE IN SHOP CLASS, EVERYTHING THAT I STARTED TO BUILD ENDED UP BEING AN ASHTRAY.

AND AFTER AT LAST WEEK'S ARIZONA OUTDOOR RECREATION COORDINATION COMMISSION, WHEN YUMA BROUGHT UP THIS GREAT THING THAT ERIC HERFORD BUILT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. BUT WHAT I DO REALLY WELL IS RIGHT.

WELL, PUT WORDS ON LETTERS. AND I GOT THE VERDE FRONT LEADERSHIP COUNCIL.

SEVERAL OF THEM ARE HERE IN THIS ROOM TODAY TO SIGN A LETTER.

JUST SAYING THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US.

THANK YOU. SO WE'LL WE'LL BREAK AND TAKE A PHOTO.

BUT I WANT TO KIND OF SHOW OFF THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO JUST GIVE YOU A PLAQUE.

SO WE HAD OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT PRINT YOU A TRAIL SIGN OF YOUR OWN.

SO ROGERS TRAIL HERE. THANKS. FROM YAVAPAI COUNTY, AND WE'LL BREAK TO TAKE PHOTOS.

[00:20:03]

YES. AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE AMAZING TRAILS AND THE PARKS THAT ARE PUT TOGETHER KEEP ALL OF US SO MUCH MORE HEALTHIER, KEEPS US OUT OF THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE, GETS US OUT IN NATURE.

VITAMIN D IS GREAT FOR YOU. THE SUN IS WONDERFUL.

IT IS GOOD MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. SO I SEE THAT AS A BLESSING.

AND THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

MANY WILL BENEFIT FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO WE WILL COME. GO AHEAD AND TAKE A MOMENT TO TAKE A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF SOME VERY LARGE GROUPS.

AND DAVID MCATEE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO ASHLEY AND THAT GROUP, THE RADIO.

BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. I KIND OF NOTICED A LOT OF GREEN SHEETS MIGHT BE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY GREEN SHEETS? OKAY, SO IF YOU COULD JUST BRING THAT UP TO THE CLERK, PLEASE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK.

THANK YOU. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[ CONSENT AGENDA (Routine items that may all be approved by one motion.) ALL ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WERE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.]

THESE ARE ROUTINE ITEMS THAT MAY ALL BE APPROVED BY ONE MOTION.

AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO ONE PULLING ANY ITEMS. SO I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

SO MOVED. I'LL SECOND THAT. CLERK OF THE BOARD.

CAN YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE? THROUGH 28 HAVE BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. FANTASTIC.

[00:25:01]

OKAY, MOVING ON TO ACTION. NUMBER ONE, COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH IRIS TELEHEALTH IN THE

[1. Community Health Services - Approve a Contract with Iris Telehealth in an amount not to exceed $350,000.00 to provide mental health services, utilizing funds from the Behavioral Health Services Expansion grant through the Department of Health and Human Services (HRSA) (1 H8NCS53867-01-00). YC Contract No. 2025-093]

AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $350,000. LESLIE. GOOD MORNING.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING, CHAIR, VICE CHAIR AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. I'M LESLIE HORTON. I'M YOUR COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES DIRECTOR.

AND YES, WE HAVE OUR CONTRACT FOR IRIS TELEHEALTH.

WE ACTUALLY ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO NOW RECEIVED A GRANT FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPANSION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER OF YAVAPAI.

AND WITH THAT, WE HAD TO FOLLOW OUR PROCUREMENT RULES TO GO OUT TO RFP.

AND SO WE DID THAT. WE HAD A NUMBER OF BIDS ON THE PROJECT, BUT IRIS TELEHEALTH CAME IN WITH THE HIGHEST RANKED BID TO TAKE ON OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPANSION CONTRACT NOT TO EXCEED $350,000.

THEY'LL RECEIVE UP TO 100,000 BY AUGUST 30TH OF THIS YEAR, AND THEN UP TO 250,000 MORE FOR DELIVERING SERVICES THROUGH AUGUST 30TH OF 26TH. SO I'M ASKING TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO FOR US TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT AND ALL THE PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS PROJECT.

I WOULD ASK ANY OF THE SUPERVISORS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR LESLIE REGARDING ITEM NUMBER ONE? OKAY. WITH THAT, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS ITEM.

YC Contract No. 2025-193]

THANK YOU, I DO. SO THIS IS OUR STATE BLOCK GRANT DOLLARS THAT WE RECEIVE, MOST OF WHICH GO TO COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION WITHIN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AND MANY OF THESE WERE SEPARATE GRANTS DATING BACK TO 1998, WITH THE BEGINNING OF THE TOBACCO EDUCATION GRANTS.

BUT THEY'VE ADDED IN A LOT OF OTHER PROJECTS LIKE TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION, SUICIDE PREVENTION, CHILD FATALITY REVIEW, AND HEALTH AND ALL POLICIES GRANT INITIATIVES GRANT.

SO ALL OF THESE ARE LUMPED TOGETHER FOR A TOTAL OF 683,300, $683,382.03 FOR A ONE YEAR CONTRACT. USUALLY THIS IS A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT, BUT AS WE KNOW, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

AND SO THE STATE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD GET THIS CONTRACT UNDER WAY, MAKE SURE THERE'S NO GAPS IN FUNDING.

NOW. SO I'M ASKING FOR APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS FIVE OR THIS ONE YEAR CONTRACT, WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL BE RENEWED AFTER THIS YEAR. BUT WE PROVIDE GREAT SERVICES IN THE SCHOOLS AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY WITH THIS MONEY, AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE.

WELL THANK YOU. I AM EXCITED THAT WE ARE GETTING THESE GRANTS AND YES, THERE IS A LOT GOING ON.

SO I'M VERY GLAD TO CAPTURE THIS MONEY. WITH THAT, I WOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

OKAY. THEN I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TWO.

SECOND. CLERK OF THE BOARD. WE HAVE A MOTION A SECOND.

CALL FOR THE VOTE. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ACTION ITEM TWO IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

[3. Community Health Services - Approve use of Yavapai County's allocation of Opioid settlement monies under the One Arizona Distribution Agreement to fund up to $1,133,295.00 in opioid-use prevention grants and projects, approve the creation of 1.0 FTE for a Health Educator II position, and authorize the Community Health Services Director to sign all related documents. YC Contract Nos. 2025-178 through 2025-185]

NOW, THIS ONE'S A LITTLE MORE COMPREHENSIVE. THIS IS OUR OPIOID SETTLEMENT FUNDS.

AND SO I'M GOING TO ASK JAMES TOBIN, OUR SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SECTION MANAGER, TO JOIN ME UP HERE. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO QUICKLY THROUGH SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DONE, AS WELL AS PROJECTS WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THIS NEXT YEAR FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

BUT THE OPIOID, THE ONE AZ OPIOID SETTLEMENT DOLLARS AGREEMENT GIVES US DOLLARS TO FUND PROJECTS THAT REDUCE THE BURDEN OF OPIOIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE'VE BEEN GETTING THESE DOLLARS SINCE 2022.

WE'VE SEEN PROJECTIONS WHERE THE FIRST 3 TO 4 YEARS OF THIS FUNDING WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER LEVELS, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME LOWER FUNDS, POSSIBLY FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE COMPANIES THAT WERE IN THE SETTLEMENT HAD TO PAY MORE DOLLARS UPFRONT OR DECIDED TO PAY MORE UPFRONT, AND THEN THEIR PAYMENTS WOULD BACK OFF IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

NOW WE ARE SEEING MORE LIKE I JUST HEARD THIS WEEK THAT PURDUE PHARMA FINALLY SETTLED AND WE'LL START SEEING DOLLARS COME IN AS EACH OF THESE COMPANIES SETTLE.

WE START SEEING OPIOID SETTLEMENT DOLLARS COME THROUGH.

SO OUR GOALS WITH THESE DOLLARS ARE TO USE THEM DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE COUNTY.

SO MAKING SURE THAT REGIONALLY, WE'RE USING THESE DOLLARS WELL TO SERVE THE ENTIRE COUNTY,

[00:30:05]

BUT ALSO SERVING A LOT OF THE AREAS ALLOWABLE WITHIN THE SETTLEMENT.

AND SO MAKING SURE THAT WE TOUCH ON PREVENTION, INTERDICTION LAW ENFORCEMENT ALSO RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION BUT MAKING SURE THAT THE DOLLARS ARE USED FOR A VARIETY OF THINGS.

SO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS THAT WE DO ARE INTERNAL TO THE COUNTY.

JAMES IS GOING TO KIND OF GIVE YOU THE RUNDOWN OF THE PROJECTS, BUT YOU KNOW, WE DO FUND FOR DRUG INTERDICTION AND WE DO FUND WE'RE ACTUALLY THIS YEAR REQUESTING TO FUND SOME PROJECTS IN THE JAIL.

WE'RE ALSO FUNDING SOME PROJECTS WITHIN THE CONNECTION CENTER AS WELL AS SOME OTHER HEALTH EDUCATOR DUTIES WITHIN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

AND THEN BEYOND THAT, WE ALSO FUND COMMUNITY PROJECTS.

AND SO WE DO A GRANT PROCESS AND DECIDE WITH A COMMITTEE WHAT WE WANT TO FUND EACH YEAR.

AND SO WE'RE COMING TO YOU WITH THOSE PROJECTS TODAY TO REVIEW, ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM.

AND THEN ASK FOR YOUR PERMISSION TO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE JAMES GIVE YOU THE RUNDOWN ON THE PROJECTS, AND THEN WE CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

SO THANK YOU LESLIE. GOOD MORNING JAMES. GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. YEAH. LIKE LESLIE SAID, WE'RE TRYING TO USE THIS MONEY SMARTLY AND EFFECTIVELY TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

AND WE DO INTERNAL PROJECTS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE GRANT PROJECTS THAT WE OFFER OUT TO PARTNER AGENCIES.

AND THIS YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE WE RECEIVED 15 APPLICATIONS FOR OPIOID REINVESTMENT GRANT FUNDS FROM ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTY. WE ENDED UP FUNDING A SEVEN PROJECTS OR POTENTIALLY FUNDING SEVEN PROJECTS.

AND THESE PROJECTS RUN THE GAMUT OF PREVENTION, ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION, RAISING AWARENESS AND HARM REDUCTION.

SO TRYING TO COVER THE COVER THE WATERFRONT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR, ONE OF THE THINGS I'M GOING TO WORK ON THIS YEAR IS TO MAKE SURE THESE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE RECEIVING THESE GRANTS THAT WE'RE MEETING QUARTERLY, ALL OF US, TO SEE HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER. IF THESE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE DIGNITY HEALTH, CAN MAYBE WORK WITH STEPS TO RECOVERY OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IT BECOMES A FORCE MULTIPLIER SO THAT WE GET THE MOST BANG FOR OUR BUCK AND THAT WE'RE SERVING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

WE ALSO HAVE THE INTERNAL PROJECTS THAT LESLIE MENTIONED.

WE HAVE OUR, SOME PROGRAMS AT THE CONNECTION CENTER.

OUTSIDE THE JAIL, THERE'S A NEW CONNECTION CENTER COMING ONLINE IN VERDI, I BELIEVE, IN EARLY 2026.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A ROLE THERE. NARCAN LEAVE BEHIND PROGRAM FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

PART OF THE SETTLEMENT, THE ONE ARIZONA SETTLEMENT IS, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST MONEY THAT THESE CORPORATIONS HAVE OR ORGANIZATIONS HAVE PROVIDED.

BUT THEY'RE PROVIDING NARCAN, LIFESAVING NARCAN, OVER-THE-COUNTER LIFESAVING MEDICATION THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF IT.

SO WE'RE RATHER THAN JUST PIECEMEAL IT OUT THERE AND HAVE IT SIT IN A CLOSET, WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

SO WE STARTED THIS LEAVE BEHIND PROGRAM FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT WHERE THEY CAN, IF THEY SEE SOMEBODY WHO MIGHT BE IN NEED IN A IN A CONTACT THEY MAKE WITH SOMEBODY IN THE PUBLIC, GIVE THEM THE KIT HAS RESOURCES STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT MIGHT NEED INFORMATION ON THE GOOD SAMARITAN LAW AND ALL THAT. YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY PROUD OF ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASSURE YOU THAT WE'RE DOING OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS MONEY IS BEING SPENT RESPONSIBLY AND TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THIS, OF THIS FUNDING. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THESE PROJECTS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.

GO AHEAD. JUST WHEN YOU WHEN YOU FUND IN THESE RECOVERY HOMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, HOW DO YOU VET THEM AND HOW DO THEY APPLY TO BE PART OF THIS, BE FUNDED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM? SURE. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GRANTS FOR THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES? YEAH. GRANT PROCESS OPENS UP IN MARCH. PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT SIX WEEKS TO APPLY.

THEY FILL OUT AN APPLICATION ALONG WITH A BUDGET WORKBOOK.

AND THEN WE HAVE A VETTING PROCESS WHERE WE HAVE A COMMITTEE WITH LESLIE AND I AND 4 OR 5 OTHER PEOPLE WHERE WE GO THROUGH THEM, YOU KNOW, SCRUPULOUSLY LOOKING AT TO SEE IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO SUPPORT.

AND SO AND THEN WHEN WE DO SUPPORT IT, THEN THERE'S REPORTING THAT THEY HAVE TO DO AND THEN CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVE ON AN ONGOING BASIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE STICKING, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO USE THE MONEY FOR, JUST BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH FRAUD IN THAT INDUSTRY. AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT'S GETTING CLEANED UP. BUT IT'S GOOD TO HEAR THAT YOU'RE VETTING THEM. YEAH, YEAH. YOU'RE

[00:35:01]

RIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF FRAUD AND WASTE AND ABUSE IN THAT INDUSTRY.

AND I WOULD CONFIDENTLY TELL YOU WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM IN YET.

PIKE COUNTY. GREAT. AND JUST ANOTHER QUESTION WAS ON I SEE THAT SOME OF THIS MONEY IS GOING TOWARD TO WEXFORD THROUGH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME OTHER ITEMS COMING UP TODAY, WHICH IS THE SAME THING.

DO YOU GUYS JUST GET TOGETHER AND MOVE MONEY AROUND FOR THAT? HOW IS IT? IS IT A DIFFERENT PROGRAM OR IS IT PART OF THE SAME PROGRAMS? I'LL LET THE BOSS HANDLE THE FASTBALL DOWN. ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, JAMES. THAT WASN'T A FASTBALL, JUST A THAT WAS A SLIDER.

A VERY GOOD QUESTION. WITH THE WITH WEXFORD, THIS ONE, WE KIND OF WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WHO SHOULD ACTUALLY PURCHASE MAKE THE PURCHASE. BUT THE JAIL HAS REQUESTED THAT WE PILOT A PROGRAM USING LONG ACTING A MODE WHICH WOULD BE LIKE A LONG ACTING SUBOXONE TYPE OR MEDICAID OR MEDICATION ASSISTED THERAPY.

SO WHEN SOMEONE COMES IN, IT'S ACTUALLY A 30 DAY.

IT'S AN INJECTION THAT LASTS 30 DAYS VERSUS HAVING TO GIVE THEM REGULAR INJECTIONS.

AND IT IN THE LONG RUN IT SHOULD SAVE MONEY, BUT IT SHOULD ALSO SAVE TIME AND HELP PEOPLE HAVE A BRIDGE INTO WHATEVER SERVICES THAT THEY NEED TO GET WHEN THEY GET OUT OF JAIL AS WELL.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO PILOT THAT PROGRAM WITH THESE DOLLARS, WHETHER IN THE FUTURE.

WEXFORD PICKS THAT UP AS PART OF THEIR CONTRACT OR NOT.

THAT WILL BE UP TO WHOEVER MAKES THOSE DECISIONS.

BUT FOR NOW, THIS IS A BRAND NEW PROJECT THAT WE'D LIKE TO TRY.

THE FOLKS IN THE JAIL BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO THE WORK THAT THEY DO AND THE WORK THAT WEXFORD IS DOING, AND WE DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE BEST IF WEXFORD MAKES THE PURCHASE AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PRODUCT WITH THE DOLLARS HERE.

SO WE WOULD SHIFT THOSE FUNDS OVER TO THE TO THE JAIL OR THE JAIL DISTRICT.

HOWEVER THAT IS FUNDED. AND MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS TO WEXFORD TO MAKE THOSE PURCHASES.

AND JUST THE LAST THING IS THESE LAST THREE ITEMS THAT WE'VE WE'RE WE'VE LOOKED AT, IT'S OVER $2 MILLION OF GRANTS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND BECAUSE YOU'RE CHASING DOWN THE MONEY. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR PURSUING THAT AND GETTING IT DONE.

THANK YOU. YES. AND I DID WANT TO MENTION, TOO, THAT WE DIDN'T MENTION IS THE DASHBOARD IS COMING SOON.

IT'S A PROJECT THAT WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR AND THAT WOULD BE A PUBLIC FACING FOR YOU, OUR DECISION MAKERS, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THESE FUNDS, THE IMPACTS IT'S MAKING IN THE COMMUNITY, AND THEN SEE WHERE OVERDOSES ARE HAPPENING AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT IS ASSOCIATED TO OPIOIDS.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LESLIE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE CONNECTION CENTER IS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GET HELP AND AND TO WORK THROUGH ISSUES THAT LIFE DELIVERS. AND AND THAT YOU FOLKS ARE THERE IS GREAT AS A SUPPORT AND AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING AS YOU CONTINUE TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED IS VERY APPRECIATIVE. AND THANK YOU FOR GETTING THIS MONEY AND HELPING WITH THE FINANCIAL NEEDS OF THE COUNTY.

THE COUNTY HAS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY, A LOT OF THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF.

SO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN GET AHOLD OF THAT WE COULD HELP WITH GRANTS IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

ABSOLUTELY. WELL, IT'S A GROUP EFFORT, AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO JAMES TOBIN AND HIS TEAM SABBATH OLIVER TO THAT ARE RUNNING THE CONNECTION CENTER ON OUR BEHALF.

THEY DO A FABULOUS JOB. AND NOW WE'RE SEEING ACTUALLY PEOPLE COME BACK KNOWING THAT THEY CAN GET THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.

THEY MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN OR THOUGHT THAT THEY WANTED THEM. RIGHT. WHEN THEY'RE LEAVING JAIL, THEY MIGHT BE HURRYING TO GET OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN COMING BACK AND LOOKING FOR THOSE RESOURCES THAT WE OFFERED WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF JAIL. SO GOOD TO SEE THAT HAPPENING.

AND IT'S GREAT RESOURCES, BUT DEFINITELY TAKES TAKES A VILLAGE TO TRY TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THIS WORK.

SO THANK YOU. IT DOES. WELL, THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH.

AND EVERYONE ELSE. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEM NUMBER THREE.

SECOND THAT. OKAY. CLERK OF THE BOARD. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

CALL FOR THE VOTE. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

THIS IS A CLOUD BASED PLATFORM DESIGNED TO STREAMLINE AND IMPROVE OUR COUNTY'S PROCUREMENT PROCESS.

OUR CURRENT METHODS FOR SOLICITATION, DEVELOPMENT, BID DISTRIBUTION AND RECEIPT OF OFFERS ARE ALL DONE MANUALLY.

MOVING TO AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM WILL BENEFIT THE COUNTY IN SEVERAL AREAS.

FIRST, INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND TIME SAVINGS, IMPROVED SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT AND COMPETITION, ENHANCED TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY, AND REDUCED RISK AND INCREASED COMPLIANCE.

THE COST TO IMPLEMENT, AS WELL AS THE FIRST YEAR LICENSING FEE WERE INCLUDED IN THE TENTATIVELY APPROVED BUDGET FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. OF COURSE I HAVE SOME. OH, OKAY. SUPERVISOR, WHEN WE IMPLEMENT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOOD BECAUSE THE CITY OF PRESCOTT JUST DID THIS, WHAT, A YEAR AGO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS AND THE PEOPLE WE'RE BRINGING ON TO MAYBE MAKE OUR LOCAL PEOPLE STATE REPRESENTATIVES FOR CONTRACTS. BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOCAL VENDORS LIKE THE MOM AND POPS, I THINK YOUR BIG GUYS WILL HAVE THIS DOWN PAT.

ARE WE PROVIDING ANY TRAINING TO OUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROCESS AND GET THE GOVERNMENT JOBS? GREAT QUESTION. SO YES, THERE ARE MODULES WITHIN THE SYSTEM THAT OPEN GOV HAS DEVELOPED TO HELP TRAIN PEOPLE, LEARN HOW TO ONBOARD, HOW TO BECOME PART OF THE PROCESS, AND HOW TO SUBMIT THEIR OFFERS WHEN SOLICITATIONS COME UP THEY'RE INTERESTED IN.

SO YEAH, THAT'S ALL PROVIDED. I'D LIKE TO SEE A PRESS RELEASE THAT EXPLAINS THAT IN A SIMPLE WAY THAT WE COULD SEND OUT TO PEOPLE THAT WE DO BUSINESS WITH.

GREAT. I'LL LOOK INTO THAT. YES, SHARON, IF I COULD.

YES. THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR KUKNYO, FOR THOSE COMMENTS.

YC Contract No. 2018-121A4]

ALPINE COUNTY JAIL DISTRICT. AND FOLLOWING CONSIDERATION OF THIS ITEM, WE'LL RECONVENE TO RECONVENE.

I'M SORRY. AS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. GOOD MORNING.

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS JEFF NEEDHAM. I'M THE CHIEF DEPUTY FOR THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE HERE TO REPRESENT SHERIFF RHOADS.

WE BRING THIS ACTION ITEM BEFORE YOU TO RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL TO ASK FOR THE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NUMBER NINE TO OUR INMATE MEDICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR 1.8 MILLION. THAT WOULD THAT WOULD EXTEND THE CURRENT CONTRACT THROUGH OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR.

THIS 2025, WE PUBLISHED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR NEW MEDICAL CONTRACT, AND WE NEED SOME MORE TIME TO VET THOSE PROPOSALS THEY'RE IN. BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE THE VENDOR OF OUR CHOICE, ALONG WITH OUR ATTORNEYS TO VET THOSE.

WE JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. SO WE ASK FOR THIS 120 DAY EXTENSION FOR OUR MEDICAL CONTRACT.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JEFF. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. GOOD MORNING JEFF. JUST A QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT KIND OF INCREASES ARE WE LOOKING AT IN THESE NEW CONTRACTS THAT YOU'RE.

I'D LIKE. I KNOW IT'S SIGNIFICANT. I'D JUST LIKE TO GET SOME IDEA.

IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND I THINK VICE CHAIR COMPTON, YOUR QUESTION IS, IS WHAT WE'RE WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.

I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH THE INCREASES THAT CAME FORWARD IN THE RFP PROCESS.

SO WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW WITH THE PROPOSED INCREASES.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THOSE. AND SO THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE IN.

I THINK THAT CONSERVATIVELY MY MY GUESS WOULD BE ABOUT A 3% INCREASE IS WHAT WE'RE HOPING.

AND IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY DIMINISHING OF SERVICES.

ARE YOU OKAY. NO DIMINISHING OF SERVICES. OKAY.

SO I THINK THE INCREASES THAT THE RFP BROUGHT WERE BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO INCREASE SERVICES AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES,

[00:45:07]

AND WE'RE JUST NOT CONVINCED RIGHT NOW THAT THAT'S AFFORDABLE.

SO WE'RE WE'RE CONTINUING TO VET THOSE THOSE PROPOSALS AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH WITH WHAT WE HAVE THROUGH OCTOBER TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS, MADAM CHAIR.

SO I NOTICE IN THE CONTRACT THAT WEXFORD HEALTH SERVICES, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE SIGNING FOR THE THE CFO.

AND THEIR ADDRESS IS IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.

AND SO I JUST WONDERED IF YOU WOULDN'T SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO WHAT KIND OF ENTITIES COULD ACTUALLY RESPOND TO THIS RFP IF THERE ARE LOCAL OPTIONS, WHY IS THIS, YOU KNOW, A A SERVICE THAT, YOU KNOW, IS IS MAYBE HARD TO COME BY.

SUPERVISOR CHECK, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THIS IS OPEN TO ANY ENTITY THAT WANTS TO PUT IN.

AND SO AS WE PUBLISH THIS WE, WE OPENED IT UP TO, TO ANYBODY WHO WAS INTERESTED.

MOST OF THE COMPANIES THAT ARE RESPONDING ARE NATIONAL COMPANIES THAT DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH INMATE CARE, INMATE MEDICAL, BECAUSE IT IS IT'S VERY INVOLVED.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TAKING CARE OF INMATES AND ALL OF THEIR NEEDS, WHATEVER THEIR NEEDS MIGHT BE, AS SOON AS THEY ENTER INTO THE DETENTION FACILITY.

THAT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM NEEDING TO A TOOTH PULLED TO PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATIONS AND CARE TO MEDICAID MEDICAL ASSISTED TREATMENT, TO AN AMPUTATION OF A PLAGUE, WHICH WE'VE HAD ALL OF THOSE, AND THOSE ARE NOT UNCOMMON.

TYPES OF TREATMENTS WE HAD. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT COME INTO OUR FACILITY WITH A LOT OF NEEDS MEDICALLY, WHETHER IT BE FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS OR JUST HONESTLY, THEY THEY COULD JUST HAVE NATURAL OLD AGE TYPE OF ISSUES. SO WE, WE SEE EVERYTHING.

AND SO YOU REALLY NEED A NATIONAL CONGLOMERATE.

WELL, YOU DON'T NEED TO BUT WHAT YOU, WHAT WE NORMALLY SEE ARE COMPANIES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE NATION THAT HAVE MULTIPLE CONTRACTS WITH JAILS ACROSS THE NATION. WEXFORD'S ONE THEY HAVE MULTIPLE STATES WHERE THEY TAKE CARE OF THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.

THEY ALSO HAVE JAILS. THEY HAVE PINAL COUNTY JAIL, FOR INSTANCE, HERE IN ARIZONA, NAVAJO COUNTY JAIL HERE IN ARIZONA.

WE'VE BEEN A PARTNER WITH WEXFORD FOR QUITE SOME TIME OVER TWO DECADES DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO STAY WITH WEXFORD.

BUT THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF COMPANIES THAT YOU SEE. WELL, PATH IS ANOTHER COMPANY THAT HAS VOICED INTEREST ALONG WITH CORE AND SOME OTHER SOME OTHER VERY REPUTABLE COMPANIES. BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THAT EXPERTISE OF NOT ONLY TAKING CARE OF OUR INMATE POPULATION WITHIN THE JAIL, BUT ALSO HAVING THE ABILITY TO SCREEN THOSE INMATES AND SEND THEM TO OUTSIDE MEDICAL CARE WHEN NEEDED.

SO IT'S WE EXPECT A LOT AND WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO GET THE BEST FOR FOR THE COST.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE SOMEBODY LIKE WEXFORD WHO IS REALLY THE THEIR ADDRESS IS IN PITTSBURGH, BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE REALLY BASED HEAVILY OUT OF CHICAGO.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION. THANK YOU. WELCOME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THE MORNING REPORT, AND DAVE MCCARTY WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE COVERED, AND OF COURSE, MY MIND WENT TO WHAT CAN I DO TO GET A MAXIMUM OF 30 DAYS? I COULD GET A LOT OF WORK DONE IN THE JAIL, BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER FIVE ON THIS AGENDA.

I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND CALL FOR THE VOTE. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR. JENKINS.

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

ACTION ITEM FIVE IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. JEFF. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL GO ON TO ITEM NUMBER SIX.

[6. Public Works - Approve acceptance of a one (1) time donation in the amount of $50,000.00 from Arizona Public Service (APS) to the Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management.]

PUBLIC WORKS APPROVE ACCEPTANCE OF A ONE TIME DONATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 FROM APS ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICES TO YAVAPAI COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

HI, ASHLEY. HI AGAIN. ASHLEY AHLQUIST, YOUR EMERGENCY MANAGER.

SO FOR THIS ITEM, APS HAS GENEROUSLY DONATED $50,000 TO THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

I ASKED ARLO TO BE HERE, SO I KEEP, LIKE, LOOKING OUT.

SO WITH THAT, THIS WAS UNEXPECTED AND WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF IT.

DONATION? I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT POTENTIALLY IT COULD BE USED FOR.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING WHAT MAY BE BEST, WHETHER IT BE HIRING A CONSULTANT TO HELP SOME OF THE PLANNING CASELOAD OFF OF OUR PLATE OR CASH RADIO SINCE WE HAD BEEN DENIED ANOTHER GRANT.

AND WE HAVE SEVERAL THAT ARE EITHER BROKEN OR JUST NEED UPDATING.

SO WITH THAT, I GUESS IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.

[00:50:04]

ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, I WILL. OH I'M SORRY.

SUPERVISOR. A QUESTION FOR OUR COUNCIL. BECAUSE IN OUR THE POLICIES THAT ARE ATTACHED IN HERE, IT KIND OF INDICATES THAT THAT THE PROJECTS THAT THE MONEY WILL GO TOWARDS BE OUTLINED AND, AND APPROVED BY US. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT ON THAT FOR US? CHAIR. VICE CHAIR. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR. THAT IS GENERALLY THE CASE.

AND I THINK THAT WAS THE IDEA WITH ASHLEY'S PRESENTATION WAS TO GIVE SOME SORT OF IDEA OF THE INTENDED USE FOR THESE FUNDS. AND IF THAT HASN'T BEEN ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED, THEN IT IT SHOULD BE.

I MEAN, WHAT I HEARD IS MAYBE THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR SOMETHING.

MAYBE. SO I FEEL JUST A TINY BIT UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

SO WE'RE WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DOLLARS ARE USED IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

SO THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE TO GET QUOTES AND TO IDENTIFY THAT SPECIFICALLY WHAT A CONSULTANT WILL COST AND PREVIOUS QUOTES THAT I'VE GOTTEN FROM CONSULTANTS FOR PLANS, THEY'VE BEEN AN EXCESS OF $60,000 OR 100,000.

AND IN THAT CASE, IF IT WAS TO THAT AMOUNT, IT WOULDN'T BE THE BEST USE OF THOSE DOLLARS.

BECAUSE WE HAD TO HAVE TO MATCH IT OR MAKE UP THE REST OF IT.

I DO KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT THE CASH RATIOS WOULD FALL WITHIN THAT AMOUNT.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING A FEW MORE QUOTES.

AND OF COURSE, WITH A CONSULTANT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO GO OUT TO BID JUST DUE TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNT. BUT WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE BEING STRATEGIC AND UTILIZING THOSE FUNDS THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. SO WITHOUT A DOUBT, LIKE, WORST CASE SCENARIO, IT'LL BE USED FOR RADIOS. BUT WE DID WANT TO EXPLORE SOME OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE JUST PENDING ON GETTING THE MONETARY AMOUNT AND DETERMINING IF IT'S FOR THE BEST USE OF THAT.

GO AHEAD. YES. THANK YOU. CHAIR. SUPERVISORS? YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO ADD AN OPTION. I MEAN, YOU COULD APPROVE THE ITEM AS IS.

IF YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE EXPLANATION THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED.

THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE TO APPROVE AND ACCEPT THE DONATION TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND ASK THAT A COME BACK FOR THE BOARD FOR FINAL APPROVAL AS TO DISBURSEMENT OR USE OF THOSE FUNDS. YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY NICE, EXCEPT THE MONEY.

AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO BE DISBURSED.

WHERE IS IT GOING? THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WOULD THAT BE OKAY WITH THE BOARD? OKAY. YES. GO AHEAD. YES, SUPERVISOR. I'D JUST LIKE TO RECOGNIZE APS FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY THINGS THAT THEY GIVE BACK.

WE MAJOR CORPORATIONS, YOU KNOW, GET A BAD RAP QUITE FREQUENTLY, BUT APS HAS ALWAYS STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE, AND IT'S JUST BEEN A GREAT PARTNER THROUGHOUT YAVAPAI COUNTY.

SO THANK YOU TO APS. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR. OKAY, SO I DON'T MIND GOING AHEAD AND MAKING THE MOTION.

THE MOTION WOULD BE TO ACCEPT THE $50,000 FROM THE ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE.

BUT BRING BRING IT BACK TO US ON THE SPENDING.

IS THAT IS THAT GOOD? YES. OKAY. ON THE SPENDING OR ALLOCATION OF THE MONEY SO THAT WE AS A BOARD CAN ALSO APPROVE THAT.

ALL RIGHT. I MADE THAT MOTION. I'LL SECOND. OKAY.

SO WE WE'RE GOOD ON A MOTION AND A SECOND AND CLERK OF THE BOARD, IF YOU'D CALL FOR THE VOTE.

SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES.

SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES.

CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ACTION ITEM SIX IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY WITH THE STIPULATION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ASHLEY. OKAY.

[7. Sheriff - Approve Amendment No. 9 to extend the Agreement with Wexford Health Services through October 31, 2025, in the amount of $443,571.56, for the Restoration to Competency (RTC) program. YC Contract No. 2019-131A2]

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. SHERIFF. APPROVE AMENDMENT NUMBER NINE TO EXTEND THE AGREEMENT WITH WEXFORD HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH OCTOBER 31ST, 2025. GOOD MORNING AGAIN, JEFF. GOOD MORNING AGAIN.

VICE CHAIR. BROOKS. BROOKS COMPTON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS JEFF NEWNHAM. THE CHIEF DEPUTY OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE HERE TO REPRESENT DAVID RHODES.

THIS IS KIND OF A CONTINUATION OF OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ON AMENDMENT NUMBER NINE WITH WEXFORD HEALTH SERVICES.

THE MEDICAL CONTRACT COMES OUT OF THE JAIL DISTRICT.

THIS IS FOR RESTORATIVE COMPETENCY, WHICH IS ALSO PART OF OUR MEDICAL NEEDS WITHIN THE JAIL.

AND THIS IS A CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY THAT COMES OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.

AND PART OF THE EXTENSION THAT WE NEED THROUGH OCTOBER IS TO EXTEND OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE RESTORATION OF COMPETENCY.

SO WE'RE ASKING THAT THE BOARD APPROVE AMENDMENT NUMBER NINE AND THE AMOUNT OF $443,000 TO EXTEND OUR CURRENT CONTRACT THROUGH

[00:55:10]

OCTOBER 31ST FOR RESTORATIVE COMPETENCY. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THANK YOU, JEFF. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ITEM? THEY KIND OF ALL FELL IN LINE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO ALL RIGHT, WELL, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEM NUMBER SEVEN.

OKAY, WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED WITH OUR HEARINGS.

[1. Development Services - Approve a Use Permit for APN 405-41-077M for a period of five (5) years to allow for the continued operation of the Sedona Vista Village Art & Craft Shows on a 6.52-acre parcel, subject to the conditions of approval. Owner: Hv & Canal LLC. Applicant/Agent: Marlo Johnson by Jennifer Boblick, Sender Associates. Application No. PLA25-000015. (District 3 - Supervisor Check)]

THE FIRST ONE IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO APPROVE A USE PERMIT FOR THE APN 40541077M FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS. GOOD MORNING.

HOW ARE YOU? OH, AND I THOUGHT I CHECKED THAT. APPARENTLY I DIDN'T.

LET ME START OVER. GOOD MORNING. CHAIR MALLORY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M STEPHANIE JOHNSON, PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND I'M HERE THIS MORNING TO PRESENT TO YOU THE SEDONA VISTA VILLAGE ART AND CRAFT SHOWS.

USE PERMIT REQUEST. THIS MATTER WAS HEARD BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ON MAY 22ND.

THERE WAS A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION OF TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE USE PERMIT.

PLA 25 000015. COMMISSIONER RADOCCIA MADE THE MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL, AND COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN SECONDED THE MOTION. COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN IS HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION, SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HER? THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS LOCATED IN DISTRICT THREE, SUPERVISOR CHECK DISTRICT.

LOCATED AT 6657 STATE ROUTE 179, AT THE INTERSECTION OF JACKS CANYON ROAD AND STATE ROUTE 179, IN THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK COMMUNITY. THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS SURROUNDED BY DEVELOPED PARCELS WITH C-2 ONE AND PAD ZONING TO THE NORTH, C2 ONE AND R1 TEN ZONING TO THE SOUTH, R2 THREE ON THE EAST AND TO THE WEST IS A C-2 TWO ZONING.

SECTION 564, SUBSECTION B3, OUTSIDE STORAGE OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY.

PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIRES A USE PERMIT FOR THE OUTSIDE DISPLAY AND STORAGE OF GOODS FOR SALE WITHIN THE C-2 ZONING DISTRICT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF A USE PERMIT FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS TO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE SEDONA VISTA VILLAGE.

ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOWS IN THE C21 ZONING DISTRICT.

SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. THE MODIFICATIONS BEING REQUESTED TO THE EXISTING USE PERMIT ARE AN EXPANDED DURATION OF FIVE YEARS VERSUS THE CURRENT TWO YEARS. AND TO FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE LIVE MUSIC THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING DURING THESE SHOWS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ALL OTHER CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THE USE PERMIT TO REMAIN IN PLACE.

LET'S LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE SEDONA VISTA VILLAGE A LITTLE BIT.

I'LL TRY NOT TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME BECAUSE THERE IS A LENGTHY HISTORY.

THIS ART AND CRAFTS SHOW FIRST BEGAN BEING STAGED IN WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE OAK CREEK FACTORY OUTLET STORES IN 1992. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS RENEWALS AND SOME AMENDMENTS AND SOME EXTENSIONS OF THE USE

[01:00:05]

PERMIT. IN 2010, THE USE PERMIT AMENDMENT ALLOWED TEN WEAKENED SHOWS WITHIN ONE YEAR, AND REQUIRED A TWO YEAR REVIEW BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AND REMOVED THE PERMANENT STATUS THAT WAS INITIALLY GRANTED IN 1992, REQUIRING RENEWAL WITHIN FIVE YEARS. SO THEN, FROM 2010 TO 2015, THE SHOWS OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVAL, AND THEY CONTINUED AN OPERATION WITHOUT ADDITIONAL REVIEWS.

2015 THERE WAS AN EXTENSION OF THE USE PERMIT FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS.

IN 2016, THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE SHOWS FROM 10 TO 15 SHOWS PER YEAR, AND THIS WAS FOR A FIVE YEAR PERIOD IN 2021. THERE WAS A USE PERMIT RENEWAL APPROVED FOR 15 SHOWS, WITH 50 VENDORS PER YEAR, SHOWS NOT TO BE HELD TO TWO WEEKENDS IN A ROW FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS.

2023 RENEWED AGAIN FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO YEARS.

THIS BRINGS US TO TODAY'S APPLICATION. THE CURRENT USE PERMIT APPLICATION IS REQUESTING SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS TO THE USE PERMIT.

THEREFORE, BRINGING THIS MATTER BACK BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, DUE TO THE REQUESTED MODIFICATIONS OF THE EXPANDED TIME FROM 2 TO 5 YEARS AND FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THE MUSICIAN THOSE REQUIRED THOSE MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED THIS APPLICATION TO GO BACK THROUGH THE FULL LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, INCLUDING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION A LITTLE BIT.

THIS WAS A VERY LARGE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, AS IT'S A VERY DENSE AREA THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH.

THE MAP HERE SHOWS THE 1000 FOOT RADIUS DISTRIBUTION RADIUS AS REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE.

THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 508 PARCELS WITHIN THE 1000 FOOT RADIUS.

MANY LETTERS OF SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION WERE RECEIVED BY STAFF AND THE APPLICANT PRIOR TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING.

STAFF AND THE APPLICANT WORKED TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT ALL RESPONSES RECEIVED BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING WERE COMBINED AND COMPILED INTO THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION REPORT PROVIDED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING PACKET.

APPROXIMATELY 76 LETTERS OF SUPPORT AND 21 LETTERS OF OPPOSITION WERE INCLUDED IN THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION REPORT.

STAFF RECEIVED TWO ADDITIONAL LETTERS FROM A MISS SUSAN BRAMHALL AFTER DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING PACKET.

THOSE WERE PROVIDED AFTER THE FACT BY EMAIL AND HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN ALL OF YOUR DISTRIBUTIONS.

SUSAN BRACKNELL ALSO HAD SUBMITTED A LETTER PRIOR TO THE PACKET THAT WAS IN THAT PACKET.

SO IT'S A TOTAL OF THREE RESPONSES FROM MISS SUSAN BRAZEL.

THERE WAS ONE COMMENT OF SUPPORT RECEIVED ON THE SURVEY, ONE, TWO, THREE THAT THE COUNTY POSTED.

AND AS OF THIS MORNING, THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THAT SURVEY.

THE BIG PARK COUNCIL PROVIDED A LETTER AND THEIR COMMENT WITH THEIR COMMENTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE SHOWS.

THEY ALSO SPOKE AT THE PREVIOUS HEARING. YOU RECEIVED THAT LETTER IN YOUR PACKET.

SINCE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING, STAFF RECEIVED 20 NEW LETTERS OF SUPPORT.

THOSE WERE ALSO EMAILED TO YOU ON MONDAY THIS WEEK.

SO YOU HAVE RECEIVED THOSE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ADDITIONAL OPPOSITION RECEIVED SINCE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN AN AREA DESIGNATED AS COMMERCIAL.

THIS LAND USE TYPE PROVIDES LOCATIONS OF FOR PREFERRED COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL COMMERCIAL CENTERS, AS WELL AS TOURISM AND OFFICE COMMERCIAL USES.

AS FURTHER DETAILED IN THE YAVAPAI COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION 2.7 LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PLAN GOAL SIX IS TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE LAND USE DECISIONS.

STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE SUBJECT APPLICATION FOR A USE PERMIT IS ALIGNED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THAT STAFF IS FACILITATING THE PROCESS BY WHICH A PROPERTY OWNER CAN WORK WITH THE PUBLIC AND THE COMMUNITY TO PROPOSE LAND USE DECISIONS THROUGH THE PROPER PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME SITE PHOTOS HERE.

THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE SEDONA VISTA VILLAGE THAT SHOWS THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT RIGHT OFF OF STATE ROUTE 179.

[01:05:03]

THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT ENTRANCE.

EXIT OFF OF STATE ROUTE 179. THIS VIEW IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG STATE ROUTE 179 ALONG THE FRONT OF THE PARCEL.

YOU CAN SEE THAT HEARING NOTICE POSTED RIGHT THERE IN THE VIEW.

STILL LOOKING ALONG. 179 THIS TIME WE'RE LOOKING SOUTH.

THIS IS LOOKING WEST ACROSS STATE ROUTE 179. THIS IS THE SECOND HEARING NOTICE THAT WAS POSTED ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE PARCEL.

THIS VIEW IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG CORTEZ DRIVE.

AND THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ALONG CORTEZ DRIVE.

AGAIN THE HEARING NOTE IS STILL IN VIEW. THIS IS SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING THAT IS LOCATED IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

MORE ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THAT REAR SIDE OF THE PLAZA.

THIS VIEW IS LOOKING SOUTH AT MORE ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THE REAR.

AND THIS IS ANOTHER LITTLE VIEW OF THE ADDITIONAL PARKING.

OH, THERE WE ARE. AND I WANT TO POINT OUT THIS ONE WAY TRAFFIC AISLE.

WHEN YOU ENTER THOSE FIRST PICTURES THAT I SHOWED YOU WERE THE ENTRANCE WHEN YOU ENTER IN, THE PARKING LOT CIRCULATES AROUND AND THERE'S A ONE WAY AISLE THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE PLAZA FOR FOR THE ADDITIONAL PARKING. IF YOU DON'T ACCESS OFF OF JACK'S CANYON AND CORTEZ, YOU WOULD GO THROUGH THE PLAZA AND THROUGH THIS ONE WAY AISLE.

SO THIS IS THAT MAIN STAGING AREA FOR THE TENTS AND THE FRONT PARKING LOT.

IT'S NOTED ON THE SITE PLAN THAT THIS AREA, THE TENTS, WILL BE SET UP IN A SINGLE ROW FORMAT ONLY.

ALTHOUGH IT DOES SHOW THE DOUBLE ROW OF PARKING, THE TENTS WILL ONLY BE IN A SINGLE ROW FORMAT.

ANOTHER ADDITIONAL VIEW OF THAT TENT STAGING AREA WHERE THE SINGLE ROW FORMAT WILL BE.

THIS LITTLE VIEW. HERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL TENT STAGING LOCATION ALONG THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY ALONG STATE ROUTE 179.

NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN HERE. THE APPLICANT PROVIDED A SITE PLAN SHOWING THE APPROVED VENDOR TENT LOCATIONS WITHIN THE PARKING LOT AND UNDER AWNINGS.

THE YELLOW IS UNDER AWNINGS AND THAT BLUISH COLOR IS THE OTHER TENT LOCATIONS.

THE SITE PLAN ALSO SHOWS THE REQUIRED SETBACK FROM THE ADOT AND RED ROCK ROAD MAINTENANCE RIGHTS OF WAY, AS OUTLINED IN THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

AGAIN, TENTS IN THE MIDDLE AISLE WILL ONLY BE PLACED IN A SINGLE ROW FORMAT.

THE APPLICANT PROVIDED THIS UPDATED SITE PLAN THAT IS NOW DATED WITH A DATE OF MAY 22ND, SECOND 2025.

SHOWING THE TENTS IN THE MIDDLE AISLE IN A SINGLE ROW FORMAT AND ALSO SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE MUSICIANS.

THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO PROVIDED A FIRE INSPECTION REPORT DATED MARCH 7TH OF 2025, THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU WITH THE ITEMS FOR THIS MATTER. SO IN SUMMARY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF A USE PERMIT FOR A PERIOD FOR A USE PERMIT WITH MODIFICATIONS.

IT WAS AND I WANT TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT. JUST ONE MOMENT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THIS USE PERMIT FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS TO ALLOW FOR THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE SEDONA VISTA VILLAGE ART AND CRAFT SHOWS IN THE C21 ZONING DISTRICT. SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

STAFF HAS NO CONCERNS WITH THIS USE PERMIT. THIS USE PERMIT HAS COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION AND OR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE DECADES.

ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE CURRENT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WOULD.

WOULD NECESSITATE COMING BACK BEFORE THIS BODY.

BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND THIS BODY FOR APPROVAL.

STAFF DID REVIEW THE PROPERTY THOROUGHLY FOR ANY VIOLATIONS AS IT AS IT PERTAINS SPECIFICALLY TO THE ART AND CRAFT SHOWS.

COMPLAINTS RECEIVED SPECIFIC TO THE SHOWS WERE ALL REGARDING VENDOR RV STAYS OVERNIGHT.

THE MOST RECENT COMPLAINT WAS IN MARCH OF 2024 AND THAT COMPLAINT WAS DETERMINED TO BE UNFOUNDED.

APPLICANT MISS MARLO JOHNSON HAS EXPRESSED THAT SHE DOES NOT ALLOW VENDORS TO STAY ON THE PROPERTY IN RVS DURING THE SHOW.

DURING THE SHOWS, IF THE BOARD FEELS THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, STAFF SUGGEST ADDING A CONDITION OF APPROVAL REGARDING RV STAYS.

I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THAT HISTORY THAT I LOOKED AT THAT WAS STRICTLY PERTAINING TO THE RVS.

THAT WAS THE ONLY COMPLAINT MADE ABOUT THESE SHOWS.

THEY WERE IN MARCH OF 2020 FOR NOVEMBER OF 2021 AND JANUARY OF 2021, AND THEY WERE ALL UNFOUNDED,

[01:10:09]

AS WHEN STAFF VISITED THE SITE, THERE WERE NO RVS ON SITE, SO WE DIDN'T FEEL THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.

BUT SHOULD THE BOARD FEEL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, WE COULD DO THAT IN THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. SO SPEAKING OF CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, STAFF IS REQUESTING SOME SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID MAKE A COUPLE MODIFICATIONS TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BUT STAFF IS ALSO NOW REQUESTING TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO REMOVE ANY REFERENCE TO RENEWAL IN THIS APPLICATION.

ALSO THE REFERENCE OF MODIFICATIONS AS THIS IS BEING VIEWED AS A NEW USE PERMIT THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THE FULL LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT AS A NEW USE PERMIT, AND THE REQUESTED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WOULD BE TO APPROVE A USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR UP TO 15 EVENTS IN A ONE YEAR PERIOD FOR 50 VENDORS, WHICH SHOWS HOURS FROM 9 A.M.

TO 6 P.M. FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY TO BE APPROVED FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.

SHOWS MAY NOT BE HELD TWO WEEKENDS IN A ROW. THIS IS AN EXISTING CONDITION.

LIVE MUSIC PERMITTED FOR MUSICIANS ON EVENT DAYS TO PLAY LIVE MUSIC NOT TO EXCEED 65DB ON THE SITE.

THIS WOULD BE A NEW CONDITION OF APPROVAL FROM PREVIOUS USE PERMITS.

CONDITION NUMBER FOR EVENTS TO BE IN GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE SITE PLAN DATED MAY 22ND, 2025, SUBMITTED WITH THE USE PERMIT APPLICATION OR IS MODIFIED AND APPROVED BY THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

CONDITION NUMBER FIVE WOULD BE FOR ONE TEMPORARY SIGN FOR THE EVENTS AND ONE TEMPORARY SIGN TO ADVISE OF ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.

THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID STRIKE CONDITION NUMBER SIX.

CONDITION NUMBER SEVEN. THE APPLICANT IS TO PROVIDE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THAT IS, AN EXISTING CONDITION. EXISTING CONDITION NUMBER EIGHT.

ALL VENDORS TO MAINTAIN A TEN FOOT SETBACK FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY.

AND THE RED ROCK ROAD MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT RIGHT OF WAY.

CONDITION NUMBER NINE ALSO EXISTING. IN THE EVENT, THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FILES A CLAIM UNDER SECTION 12 1134 REGARDING THE USE PERMIT. THIS USE PERMIT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE REVISIONS STRIKING RENEWAL.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANT'S AGENT HERE AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT.

AND WE HAVE MISS BUCHANAN FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

AND I'M STANDING FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR ME.

OKAY. GIVE ME ONE SECOND. CLERK OF THE BOARD.

DID YOU RECEIVE ANY NEW LETTERS OR ANYTHING SINCE WE HAVE STARTED OUR MEETING THIS MORNING REGARDING THIS MATTER? NO NEW LETTERS THIS MORNING. ONLY THE 20 THAT WERE REFERENCED BY MISS JOHNSON THAT WERE DISSEMINATED TO THE BOARD YESTERDAY.

OKAY, GREAT. AND I WILL REFER TO SUPERVISOR CHECK.

THIS IS YOUR DISTRICT. AND HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING ANYBODY UP OR WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO OR HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC FIRST? THANK YOU. CHAIR. YEAH, I DO SEE A NUMBER OF GREEN SHEETS.

I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING PUBLIC COMMENT. AND AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED FROM THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. STEPHANIE. OKAY.

OKAY. VICE CHAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CHAIR MALLORY.

WELL, WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WISH TO SPEAK. PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME WHEN I CALL IT OUT.

TIFFANY. LORD. GOOD MORNING. TIFFANY. GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT BEFORE THE PUBLIC, OR WOULD YOU LIKE PUBLIC FIRST? I'D LIKE THE PUBLIC FIRST. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS TIFFANY LAUDE WITH TIFFANY LAUDE DESIGNS.

I STARTED MY BUSINESS DURING COVID, LIKE MANY ENTREPRENEURS, AND I USED THE FARMERS MARKETS AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT MARLO JOHNSON HAD OFFERED WITH ART SHOWS TO BUILD MY WHOLE BUSINESS.

NOW I AM REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE OPENED MY FIRST BRICK AND MORTAR ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.

WHICH, IRONICALLY, HONESTLY, IT'S REALLY NEAT.

I FEATURE A LOT OF THE ARTISTS FROM THE SHOWS IN OUR COMMUNITY, SO IT'S EVOLVED INTO A REALLY SPECIAL COMMUNITY SPACE THAT WAY.

PARDON MY NERVES. ALSO, I WANTED TO SAY I STILL DO PARTICIPATE IN THESE SHOWS AS A FORM OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR MY

[01:15:02]

BRICK AND MORTAR. I FOUND IT WAY CHEAPER THAN PAYING OUT.

BUT TO SHOW UP IN THE COMMUNITY AND TO SELL MY OWN GOODS AND TO MEET THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY OUT THERE.

SO IT'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN DOING THAT AS WELL.

I THINK TODAY I WAS SO INSPIRED BY HEARING, LIKE, MATTERS THAT REALLY THEY'RE SO THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT, LIKE ENDING OPIOID ADDICTION AND THINGS LIKE THIS.

SO THE, THE THOUGHT OF EXTENDING THE PERMIT TO FIVE YEARS AND ALLEVIATING HAVING TO WASTE EVERYONE'S TIME IN THIS WHIRLWIND, YOU HAVE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO. BUT ALSO TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE ARTS IN A REALLY GREAT WAY, AND ALLOWING BUSINESSES THAT REALLY DON'T HAVE BRICK AND MORTARS TO GET OUT AND MEET THE COMMUNITY AND TO THRIVE.

YOU SHOULD FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT ABOUT THAT STAMP OF APPROVAL TOO.

SO THANK YOU. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

AND THAT IS ALL. THANK YOU. THERESA TICE. GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. NICE CHAIR.

CHAIR. MY NAME IS TRACE TICE. I AM A LOCAL ARTIST AND I LIVE IN SEDONA, AND I MOVED HERE IN 2019 FROM MAUI, WHERE I ONCE HAD A BRICK AND MORTAR. BUT I'M STARTING OVER HERE.

I KIND OF FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS WHOLE AREA. AND MARLO JOHNSON'S SHOWS HAVE BEEN SO GREAT FOR MYSELF AND ALL THIS AMAZING COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS AND ALSO TO MEET THE TOURISTS ONE ON ONE.

THEY LIKE TO BUY, RIGHT? STRAIGHT FROM THE ARTIST.

AND ALSO THE LOCALS, I THINK, REALLY APPRECIATED A LOT, TOO.

AND I'M HOPING THIS GETS RENEWED BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR MANY PEOPLE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NICOLE WEIDMAN. I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT THAT RIGHT.

WIEGMAN. I CAN'T READ IT. GOOD MORNING NICOLE.

GOOD MORNING. HI. MY NAME IS NICOLE WIEGMAN. I AM A FULL TIME FARMER AND ARTIST AND I'M PARTICIPATING IN MARLO JOHNSON SHOW, HAS GIVEN OUR FARM AN INCREDIBLE OUTLET TO SHARE OUR ART AND OUR FARM STORY, AS WELL AS EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT SUSTAINABLE FASHION AND NATURAL FIBERS.

MY HUSBAND AND I, WE RAISE ABOUT 60 ALPACAS IN WILLIAMS, ARIZONA, AND WE CAN PROCESS ALL THE FIBER AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL ART LIKE THIS HAT AND THIS PURSE THAT I'M WEARING. AND SINCE PARTICIPATING IN THE SHOWS, WE'VE BEEN SO SUPPORTED BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE TOURISTS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY PROVIDING THE MAINTENANCE FOR OUR HERD MONTHLY.

SO I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR MARLOW AND THE SHOWS AND THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU. I'M JUST GOING TO STICK WITH KATHY.

KATHLEEN. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I STAYED WITH KATHY.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS KATHY MANTHEY AND I LIVE IN THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK.

AND MADAM CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR VOICE. I'VE BEEN WITH MARLOW JOHNSON FOR FOUR YEARS.

I JUST HAPPENED TO WANDER ONTO HER. HER FIRST ART SHOW, AND I THOUGHT, OH, HOW AMAZING.

BECAUSE I HAD JUST RETIRED AND I DECIDED TO RETIRE TO THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE. AND I THOUGHT, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY TIME? SO I GOT TALKING WITH MARLO AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

I HAVE A MY COMPANY CALLED BAKING BLISS. IT'S VERY FUN.

AND I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS, WHICH I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN IF I HADN'T GOTTEN MORE OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY.

AND MY MY APRONS ARE ALL OVER THE WORLD TODAY.

THE TOURISTS BRING A LOT OF REVENUE. THE RESTAURANTS LOVE US BECAUSE WE KEEP THEM VERY BUSY, ALONG WITH THE TOURISTS AND THE LOCALS. WE HAVE GREAT MUSIC.

YOU SHOULD BRING YOUR DANCING SHOES. AND A LOT OF OUR SENIORS COME DOWN JUST TO DANCE AND TO TALK TO EVERYBODY.

SO MARLOW RUNS A VERY TIGHT SHIP. SHE'S THE ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL.

SO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS THERE.

THANK YOU. I'M GONNA GIVE THIS ONE A SHOT. ZOE, DID I GET IT? YEAH. FABULOUS. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS ZOE GOUGH AND I AM A HOMEOWNER IN THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE ARTISTS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE VISTA VILLAGE SHOWS AND OTHER LOCAL CRAFT SHOWS. THESE SHOWS ARE AMAZING, SPECIFICALLY AT THE VISTA VILLAGE LOCATION.

THEY ATTRACT BOTH LOCALS AND TOURISTS, AND IT'S BECOME A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF MINE AND MY PARTNER'S YEARLY INCOME TO DO THE SHOWS AT THAT

[01:20:01]

LOCATION. AND I CAN SAY AS A YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR, THAT IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT JUST DOESN'T EXIST IN MANY OTHER AREAS AND THE AREA IS VERY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO LIKE, RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND GET STARTED FROM THE BARE BONES AND GROW IT YOURSELF WITH THE HELP OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY OUT IN THE PUBLIC.

SO I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS.

SO I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.

I'M SURE WE HAVE SEVERAL THAT DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT MARILYN BRADFORD DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK IS IN FAVOR OF THE ISSUE.

I'M NOT SPEAKING. I JUST I STAND IN THE GREEN PAPER.

YES, THAT'S WHY I SAID YOU'RE NOT. YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

I GOT IT RIGHT AGAIN. PERFECT. OKAY. LAURA SMITH.

THANK YOU. LAURA SMITH DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE ISSUE.

THERE ARE VERY LENGTHY, BUT I'LL JUST SAY THEY'RE IN FAVOR OF THE ISSUE. JOHN MAJOR DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE ISSUE.

DANIEL DIAZ DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK, BUT IS IN FAVOR OF THE ISSUE.

AND THAT'S THE LENGTH. SO I WILL NOT READ IT, BUT IN FAVOR OF THE ISSUE.

THAT'S ALL WE HAVE. MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

VICE CHAIR SUPERVISOR CHECK. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, EXPRESS TO THE BOARD IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. SUPERVISOR CHECK AND SUPERVISORS.

MY NAME IS JENNIFER BOBLICK WITH SENDER ASSOCIATES AND WE'RE IN TEMPE, ARIZONA, AND I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF MISS JOHNSON FOR THIS USE PERMIT REQUEST.

I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF. I DON'T NEED TO GIVE YOU A FULL PRESENTATION.

I THINK THAT STEPHANIE DID A GREAT JOB, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD WITH THIS AND DOING A LOT OF OUTREACH WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE HERE BEFORE YOU WITH A GREAT OUTCOME AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND GREAT SUPPORT FROM OUR VENDORS HERE AND OTHER LOCAL RESIDENTS.

I DO WANT TO INTRODUCE OUR PROPERTY OWNER, MARTY ARONSON.

HE CAME HERE TODAY JUST IN SUPPORT OF MARLOW AND THE PROJECT.

HE'S BEEN A GREAT LANDLORD FOR US, AND IF HE MIGHT WANT TO COME UP AND SAY A QUICK WORD HERE, THAT WOULD BE OKAY. YEAH, PLEASE. THANK YOU JEN.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS MARTY AARONS AND MY REAL ESTATE PARTNER.

AND I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY EIGHT YEARS AGO IN 2017, AND WE SPENT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SINCE THEN UPGRADING IT.

WE'RE BIASED, I DON'T THINK THE PICTURES DID IT JUSTICE, BUT WE THINK IT'S THE NICEST SHOPPING CENTER, THE BEST LANDSCAPING, THE BEST SIGNAGE ANYWHERE IN UNINCORPORATED YAVAPAI COUNTY.

AND I WANT TO SAY THAT THE ART SHOWS OF MARLOW JOHNSON WERE A BIG PART OF THAT.

SHE BRINGS IN FOOT TRAFFIC AND IT'S NOT A LOT.

MAYBE IT'S 100 CARS A DAY OUT OF THE 25,000 TOURIST CARS THAT ARE DRIVING DOWN SR 179.

BUT THE RESTAURANTS, WHETHER IT'S LISA DAHL'S TWO RESTAURANTS OR OTHER RESTAURANTS OR OTHER TENANTS, THEY HAVE THEIR BEST DAYS OF THE YEAR DURING THE ART SHOWS.

AND YOU CAN ALL APPRECIATE THIS IF YOU GET 30 OR 40 OR 50 REALLY GOOD DAYS AS A RESTAURANT, THAT'S THAT MAKES YOUR YEAR. THAT'S MAKE OR BREAK.

SO WHAT I CAN ADD AS A PROPERTY OWNER, BECAUSE I HEAR THIS FROM THE TENANTS REGULARLY AND, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S LISA DAHL OR GLO MENDOZA WITH GLO'S LITTLE ART JEWELRY SHOP.

THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT DAYS FOR THEM. BRICK AND MORTAR RETAIL STILL IS FRAGILE.

IT ALWAYS WILL BE WITH THE INTERNET NOW AND ONLINE SHOPPING.

SO FOR A. I THINK BEAUTIFUL IS IN THE RIGHT WORD, BUT A GOOD LOOKING SHOPPING CENTER WITH LOTS OF OPTIONS FOR LOCAL FOLKS AND FOR TOURISTS. IT'S IMPORTANT. WE'RE DOING WE'RE DOING WELL NOW, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT ALL THESE FOLKS IN ADDITION TO THESE LOCAL ARTISANS. SO I WOULD REALLY AND MARLO, I'M THERE ALL THE TIME.

BEFORE I RETIRED IN JANUARY, I WAS RATHER MARLO REALLY DOES RUN A TIGHT SHIP.

SHE CARES ABOUT HER VENDORS, HER ARTISANS AND THE COMMUNITY AND THE SHOPPING CENTER.

SO I WOULD URGE YOU TO APPROVE THIS. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF FAMILIES OF NOT JUST THE ARTISANS,

[01:25:07]

BUT THE EMPLOYEES OF THE RESTAURANTS AND THE OWNERS OF THE OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE CENTER.

SO THANK YOU. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OF COURSE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND I DID.

I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THANK STAFF FOR EVERYTHING.

THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE THREW A LOT OF NUANCED QUESTIONS THEIR WAY THIS YEAR BECAUSE OR EARLIER LAST YEAR WHEN THIS USE PERMIT WAS UP FOR RENEWAL, BECAUSE WE HAD A GOAL HERE FOR MARLO TO MAKE THIS WHAT CAN BE A REALLY BURDENSOME PROCESS.

AND SO WE WANTED TO KIND OF GET THESE MODIFICATIONS THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE TODAY.

THOSE ARE ALL WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING IT AN EASIER AND LESS BURDENSOME PROCESS FOR HER WHEN SHE DOES HAVE TO RENEW AGAIN.

AND SO EXTENSION OF THAT BACK TO FIVE YEARS, WHERE IT WAS FIVE YEARS PREVIOUSLY, WE'VE SEEN THAT WITH THE HOTEL AND OPERATION, WHICH WAS WHAT TRIGGERED THAT KIND OF REDUCTION DOWN TO TWO YEARS.

THEY'RE OPERATING GREAT TOGETHER. THERE'S NOT CONCERNS WITH HOW THOSE TWO USES WORK NICELY ON THE, ON THE SITE, YOU KNOW, AND, AND THE SITE WAS THE AREA WHERE THE VENDORS USED TO BE WAS TAKEN UP FROM THAT HOTEL.

SO NOW WE HAVE A SMALLER AREA. SO IT MADE SENSE TO HAVE A COUPLE OF YEARS TO SEE HOW THINGS WENT.

WE'VE SEEN FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW THAT'S BEEN SMOOTH.

SO GETTING THAT BACK UP TO FIVE YEARS. AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, CLARIFYING THAT THE QUESTION ON LIVE MUSIC THAT ACTUALLY CAME ABOUT AS PART OF OUR CITIZEN REVIEW PROCESS, BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP DURING ONE OF THE MEETINGS AND WE REALIZED, WOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING, BUT WASN'T ACTUALLY FORMALLY HAPPENING.

SO THEN WE CAN ADD THAT HERE AND CLARIFY THAT.

AND THEN JUST TO UPDATE THE SITE PLAN TO GET IT A LITTLE MORE USER FRIENDLY, BUT ALSO TO BUILD IN SOME OF THE FLEXIBILITY THAT THEY MIGHT NEED IF TENTS NEED TO SHIFT SPOTS, OR IF WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO BE UNDER AN AWNING ONE WEEKEND IN PLACE OF A TENT OR YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO SHIFT THOSE, BUT WITHIN THOSE DESIGNATED AREAS FOLLOWING THAT SETBACK, THAT'S REQUIRED.

AND THEN ALSO WORKING WITH THE FIRE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR CODES.

BUT THAT LETS US ALSO WORK WITH THE CHANGING TENANTS IF THEY HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS FOR THEIR PATIO AND OUTDOOR SPACES.

SO IT HELPS US BE GOOD NEIGHBORS AND GOOD TENANTS FOR THE SPACE.

SO I'LL JUST LOOK FORWARD REALLY QUICK TO THAT SITE PLAN SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST CRITICAL COMPONENT THERE.

BUT SO YOU CAN SEE OH HERE. SO THIS WAS WHAT WE WHEN WE WERE WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

SO THEY SAID THERE WERE THE TWO VANS WHERE WE WERE SHOWING THE TENTS ON BOTH ROWS.

WE REDUCED THAT DOWN. AND THEN THAT PINK AREA YOU SEE THERE, WE JUST ADDED IN.

THAT'S WHERE THE LIVE MUSIC HAPPENS. SO THOSE WERE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP WITH PLAN AND COMMISSION. SO WE CLARIFIED THAT WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE STIPULATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. I THINK THAT THE MODIFICATIONS THEY MADE WERE FINE. WE'RE FINE WITH THE MODIFICATIONS THAT STAFF HAS PRESENTED TODAY. WITH THE REMOVAL, I THINK IT'S MAKES THINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR THAT IT'S THIS IS A NEWER USE PERMIT.

TECHNICALLY, OUR OTHER ONE DID. AND BEFORE WE GOT TO HERE, BECAUSE OF THE LONGER TIME THAT WE TOOK FOR THE FULL PROCESS TO MAKE THIS A LITTLE BIT REALLY SETTING IT UP FOR EASIER RENEWALS IN THE FUTURE.

SO WITH THAT, I AM HAPPY TO ASK AND OUR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

SUPERVISOR CHECK. I'LL STILL REACH OUT TO YOU TO SEE IF YEAH, I HAVE ACTUALLY MORE COMMENTS THAN QUESTIONS.

I JUST WANT TO NOTE, YOU KNOW, THAT THIS ALTHOUGH THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF VOCAL SUPPORT FOR THIS IN THE ROOM, THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS VOICED AS WELL. SO I REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO DIG INTO THIS ISSUE.

I ATTENDED THE BIG PARK REGIONAL COUNCIL MEETING IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS OF THEIR CONCERNS.

I'VE READ THROUGH NUMEROUS LETTERS AND I REALLY WANT TO SAY THAT EACH AND EVERY CONCERN, WHAT I SAW IN THE PROCESS BY YOU MISS PUBLIC AND, AND MARLO JOHNSON IS A TRUE DEDICATION TO ADDRESSING AS MANY FACETS OF THE CONCERNS AS WERE PRESENTED. SO I REALLY FEEL THERE WAS A LOT OF ENERGY PUTTING PUT INTO MAKING THIS THE BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND I DO FEEL LIKE THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED WERE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED.

OF COURSE EVERY BUSINESS HAS AN IMPACT. AND IF YOU ASK, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PROBABLY SOMEONE WHO WOULDN'T WANT EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS TO BE IN BUSINESS RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN'T GET CONSENSUS ON MATTERS LIKE THIS.

BUT I DID ALSO POP MY HEAD INTO SOME OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE COMPLEX, AND I CAN VERIFY, YOU KNOW, WHAT MR. ARONSON IS SAYING, THAT THAT THIS IS A POSITIVE FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.

AND WHEN I SAY I SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.

SO I AM IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND WANT TO, YOU KNOW, OPEN UP IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CONCERNS FROM THE BOARD AND SEE IF OUR PLANNING AND ZONING

[01:30:09]

COMMISSIONER, LINDA BUCHANAN, HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO THE CONTEXT HERE.

I'LL JUST SAY I ATTEND AND I LOVE IT. MADAM CHAIR JUST A COUPLE THINGS.

WHAT I HEARD WAS MOST OF THE OPPOSITION WAS ABOUT THE RV STAYS.

AND IS THAT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THIS GOING FORWARD THAT THERE'S I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE IN THIS PROCESS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PERSON PUTTING ON THE SHOW IS ADDRESSING THIS.

AND IS THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE DOING FORMAL MUSIC? MADAM SUPERVISOR AND MADAM CHAIR AND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE FORMALLY ADDRESSING THE LIVE MUSIC.

SO IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING BEFORE. I THINK THAT THERE WAS JUST AN UNDERSTANDING THAT IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN ALLOWED FROM DATING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL USE PERMIT IN THE 90S.

AND THEN AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE HAD A LITTLE GAP IN TIME WHERE WE HAD TO DO TEMPORARY LIKE A SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT.

AND SO THE LIVE MUSIC WAS NOTED ON THERE. AND SO THEN THROUGH THE CITIZEN PROCESS, THAT QUESTION CAME UP, HEY, THIS IS THAT ACTUALLY IN YOUR YOUTH PERMIT? AND I THOUGHT, WOW, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME HEARING OF THIS ISSUE.

LET'S JUST PUT IT IN THERE TO CLEAR EVERYTHING UP.

SO BEN, ON GOING BUT A NEW, YOU KNOW, FORMAL I WOULD THINK THAT THE COMPLAINTS WOULD HAVE COME FROM THAT.

BUT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN COMPLAINTS OFF THAT. SO IT AIN'T AN ISSUE.

AND 65DB IS PRETTY DOGGONE QUIET. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOU GOT LED ZEPPELIN THERE.

SORRY. AND YOUR QUESTION ON THE RVS. WE WERE, YOU KNOW, IF IF THE BOARD FEELS THAT A STIPULATION IS NECESSARY, THAT'S FINE. ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT THE ZONING ORDINANCE COVERS THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE OVERNIGHT RV STAYING IN AN RV OVERNIGHT IN THIS DISTRICT REGARDLESS.

AND SO I THINK OUR CONCERN IS HOW DO YOU ENFORCE THAT STIPULATION BEYOND JUST ENFORCING THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT ANYWAY? AND THEN WE DO SHARE THIS SPACE WITH OTHER USERS WHO MIGHT HAVE, YOU KNOW, NOT TENANTS, BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE PATRONS THAT ARE COMING AND PARKING AN RV FOR THE TIME THAT THEY'RE THERE.

NOT TO SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PARK IT OVERNIGHT, BUT THE ART SHOWS ARE NOT THERE 24 OVER SEVEN.

THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, 15 SHOWS, 15 WEEKENDS A YEAR.

SO THERE MIGHT BE TIMES WHERE THERE'S NOT OVERLAP, BUT SOMEONE HAS AN RV PARKED THERE OVERNIGHT.

SO I THINK THE BETTER IDEA WOULD BE TO LET THE ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT THAT COVERS THAT COVER IT.

BUT IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU NEEDED TO ADD A STIPULATION, WE ARE ALSO FINE WITH THAT.

I FOLLOW SUPERVISOR LEE, BUT AND THE LAST QUESTION IS YOU STRUCK OUT SOMETHING CONCERNING RESTROOMS. DID YOU HAVE PORTA JOHNS OUT THERE? ARE THEY GONE? AND IF SO, ARE THE BUSINESSES WILLING TO OPEN UP THEIR FACILITIES TO PATRONS? BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES BUSINESSES DO NOT LIKE THAT.

YEAH. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. SO IN THE PAST, THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, PORTA POTTIES THERE. I'M SORRY. I'M PROBABLY NOT USING THE TECHNICAL TERM.

AND THE FACILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS IN THIS AREA ARE ACTUALLY WITH A CODE.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL SPACES PER SE, BUT THERE ARE THE PUBLIC ONES WITH AN ACCESS CODE AND OUR OUR VENDORS AND PATRONS FOR JUST THE ART SHOWS DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE, SO THEY WEREN'T USING THOSE.

SO THEY USED THE OTHER RESTROOMS. AND SO WHEN WE WERE PROVIDING THE PORTABLE RESTROOM FACILITIES, THAT WAS WHY WE FELT LIKE ADDING THAT STIPULATION OR REMOVING THAT STIPULATION.

ALSO, AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER THING WHERE IT'S REDUNDANT BECAUSE IF WE ARE USING IF THAT FACILITY AND THAT SITE ITSELF HAS RESTROOMS, THEN WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE REGARDING HEALTH AND SANITATION AND BIG PARK WASTEWATER DISTRICTS ORDINANCE, BUT THERE'S ACCESS FOR THE PATRONS TO RESTROOM FACILITIES.

BUT IF IT WAS NEEDED, THERE WOULD BE ACCESS. YES.

OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, I JUST DID WANT TO RESPOND TO SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

AND YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE'S UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS, I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE'S NO NEED TO TACK ON POLICY, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S ALREADY COVERED IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, BECAUSE THEN IT KIND OF RAISES A QUESTION AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT GOES.

AND I WOULDN'T WANT THE SEDONA ART VISTA VILLAGE PEOPLE FEEL AS THOUGH THEY'RE TASKED WITH ENFORCING OUR, YOU KNOW, OVERARCHING ORDINANCE. SO THAT'S MY FEELING ON THAT TOPIC.

OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU. COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM HER?

[01:35:09]

GOOD MORNING. CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M LINDA BUCHANAN WITH DISTRICT TWO. PLANNING ZONING COMMISSIONER.

I JUST WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT AS WITH THIS AND ANY OTHER TOPIC THAT COMES BEFORE US, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DOES A VERY THOROUGH AND THOUGHTFUL VETTING. AND SO SOME OF THE CONDITIONS OR THE STIPULATIONS THAT YOU SEE THAT WERE STRUCK OR MODIFIED WERE BASED ON THAT DISCUSSION SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THE MUSIC. THERE WERE THERE WAS SOME COMMENTARY ABOUT THE MUSIC TO THOSE OF YOU THAT MIGHT NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT SPECIFIC FACILITY OR THE ROADWAYS. STATE HIGHWAY 179 IS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC MOVING BUMPER TO BUMPER CONTINUOUSLY DURING THESE HOURS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT DECIBEL LEVEL IS, BUT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, AFTER THE LONGEST DEBATE I'VE EVER HEARD ABOUT.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPEAKERS AND AMPLIFICATION.

CAME TO THE DECISION THAT STRIKING THE LANGUAGE OF AMBIENT NOISE LEVEL AND PUTTING THE 65 DECIBEL MARKER ON IT MADE SENSE. BUT TO THAT POINT, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YAVAPAI COUNTY HAS A SPECIFIC NOISE ORDINANCE.

AND SO IT DOES PUT A RATHER UNIQUE BURDEN ON THIS ONE VENUE.

TO THAT POINT, WE ALSO FELT THAT THE RV CONDITION SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MISS JOHNSON IN HER USE OF THE SPACE. IT MAY MORE PROPERLY BELONG WITH THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, OR JUST THE FACT THAT THERE'S ALREADY AN ORDINANCE PREVENTING THAT. SO WE'RE TRYING TO STRIKE THE REDUNDANCIES WHEN WE SEE THEM COME THROUGH AS STIPULATIONS.

WE HAD REALLY ROBUST INPUT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION FROM THE PUBLIC, AND WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THEM TO RETURN TO SPEAK TO YOU.

SO EVEN THOUGH THE OPPOSITION IS NOT PRESENT TODAY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE HEARD AND THEIR CONSIDERATIONS WERE SERIOUSLY VETTED AT THAT MEETING. SO I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE FIVE YEAR RECOMMENDATION.

I DON'T THINK THAT THIS WOULD NEED TO COME BEFORE YOU.

PRIOR TO THAT. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER.

ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE HEARING ITEM NUMBER ONE WITH THE FIVE YEAR STIPULATION AND THE OTHER RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL OUTLINED BY MISS STEPHANIE JOHNSON.

SECOND. OKAY. CLERK OF THE BOARD. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

COULD YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE? SUPERVISOR CHECK.

YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

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

HEARING. ITEM NUMBER ONE IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WE WILL ALL TRY TO GET DOWN THERE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO. APPROVE A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE,

[2. Development Services - Approve a text amendment to the Planning and Zoning Ordinance Section 301 (Definitions) to add a definition for “eave”, and to replace the existing Section 603 (Light Pollution Control) with the new Section 603 (Outdoor Lighting Standards). Application No. PLA25-000039.]

SECTION 301 TO ADD A DEFINITION FOR EVE. OKAY? AND TO REPLACE THE EXISTING SECTION 603. GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR MALLORY. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M SUSAN HEBERT, PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

ALL RIGHT. TO START, WE DID GET A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

THE VOTE WAS 8 TO 1. COMMISSIONER RADOCCIA, WHO WAS OPPOSED, DID MENTION A GENERAL SUPPORT, BUT THERE WAS A STICKING POINT WITH STRING LIGHTING IN PARTICULAR THAT WE'LL DISCUSS IN A BIT.

AND, OF COURSE, COMMISSIONER BUCHANAN IS HERE TO SPEAK.

ALL RIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. OUR PLANNING UNIT MANAGER, MATT BLAKE, STARTED PUTTING THIS TOGETHER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND WE HAD SOME EARLY INPUT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE VERDE VALLEY ASTRONOMERS.

I THINK VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK. DARK SKY. KEEPS IT ON A BEAUTIFUL.

WE GOT A LOT OF EARLY INPUT. AND THEN MOST RECENTLY, WE HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF INPUT FROM THE PRESCOTT ASTRONOMY CLUB.

SO ASTRONOMERS KNOW DARK SKIES, BUT EVERYONE CAN APPRECIATE THEM.

SO WE ARE HERE AFTER THE SECOND PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING TO HEAR, HOPEFULLY,

[01:40:05]

AN ACTION ON THIS. ALL RIGHT. GENERAL CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

WE DID HAVE A REVIEW DRAFT THAT WAS SENT TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REVIEWING AGENCIES.

WE DID GET SOME TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMENTS BACK AND HAVE INCORPORATED SOME IMPORTANT LANGUAGE IN HERE.

WE HAVE PUBLISHED THIS IN ALL COUNTY NEWSPAPERS, POSTED IT ON THE WEBSITE AND HAD A SURVEY UP.

I THINK YOU HAVE RECEIVED ALL OF THE COMMENTS.

THERE WERE 12 IN FAVOR AND TWO NEUTRAL. SO NO ONE HAS BEEN OPPOSED TO THIS.

I THINK EVEN BACK AS FAR AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLLS AND SURVEYS THAT WE HAD UP THERE WAS GENERAL SUPPORT ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THIS.

HEY. SO JUST AS AN ASIDE, WE DID NEED A DEFINITION OF EVE TO BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THIS.

SO THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN OUR DEFINITION SECTION.

AND MOVING ON TO THE OUTDOOR LIGHTING STANDARDS, THESE SECTIONS, WE'VE KIND OF STREAMLINED WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

HOPEFULLY IT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE TO PEOPLE.

THE PUBLIC CAN USE IT, FIND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, AND EVERYTHING'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO SEE MORE EXPLAINED.

WE GOT RID OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE ANYMORE BECAUSE OF TECHNOLOGY AND HOW IT'S CHANGED.

AND THIS GRAPHIC THAT'S BEEN BORROWED FROM MOAB COUNTY IS KIND OF A GOOD WAY TO SEE WHAT THE GENERAL INTENT IS.

WHEN YOU USE FULLY SHIELDED, DOWNWARD DIRECTED LIGHTING, YOU'LL STILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE WITHOUT WASTING A LOT OF THAT LIGHT AND PUTTING IT OUT INTO THE SKY. OKAY. AND THIS IS FROM THE TABLE THAT SHOWS WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AS OUR MAXIMUM LIMITS FOR LIGHT COMPARED TO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO USE.

SO WE DID TRY AND SIMPLIFY THIS. JUST IN GENERAL LOWER THE LUMENS COUNT.

RIGHT NOW WE ALLOW UP TO 20,000 LUMENS FOR RESIDENTIAL LOT OVER AN ACRE.

THAT THAT'S A LOT OF LIGHT. AND THE TECHNOLOGY DOES ALLOW FOR REASONABLE LIGHT.

AND WE'VE SEEN COUNTS COME IN MUCH LOWER THAN THAT IN OUR PERMITTING PROCESS IN RECENT YEARS.

SO 20,000 IS PRETTY EXCESSIVE FOR BY TODAY'S STANDARDS.

AND THE SAME WITH OUR COMMERCIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES.

RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE A MAXIMUM AT ALL. SO THIS WOULD BE A REASONABLE LIGHT COUNT.

AND WE'VE TAKEN OTHER COUNTIES, CITIES, MUNICIPALITIES, THEIR ORDINANCES THAT ARE IN EXISTENCE RIGHT NOW TO SEE WHAT THEY'VE HAD TO WORK WITH.

AND THIS SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE LIMIT. OKAY.

AND I GUESS HERE YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE FAST VERSION WHERE WE GO THROUGH JUST THE COUPLE OF CHANGES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING THAT STILL NEED TO BE DISCUSSED, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE, THE TEN MINUTE TOUR OF THE FULL ORDINANCE.

LET ME JUST REACH OUT. I'M GOOD WITH THE FAST VERSION, BUT I'LL REACH OUT TO THE BOARD.

YEAH. THAT'S FINE. OKAY. WE'RE ON A FAST TRACK THEN.

SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT, SO FOR THE ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT LAST COMMISSION MEETING WAS FOR THE CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE.

WE HAD STARTED OUT WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT NUMBERS.

2700 K IS A STANDARD NUMBER LIGHTING THAT CAN BE FOUND FAIRLY EASILY.

FLAGSTAFF USES THIS NUMBER. AND THEY ARE THE MOST STRICT DARK SKY ORDINANCE THAT WE KNOW OF.

AND THAT HAS CHANGED FROM 3000 K, WHICH IS A VERY WARM I'M SORRY, 3000 K IS NOT A VERY WARM COLOR.

IT IS ON THE BORDERLINE GOING FROM WARM TO COOL.

WHEN WE GO TO 2700 K, THAT'S WHEN IT BECOMES MORE WARM.

DEPENDING ON WHO YOU TALK TO, THERE'S VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND OTHER PEOPLE THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE VERY IMPORTANT.

FOR CERTAIN APPLICATIONS. SO IT DOES HAVE A MORE NEUTRAL WHITE TONE TO IT, AND IT MAY REDUCE CERTAIN REQUESTS FOR ALTERNATIVES. IF WE WERE TO ALLOW IT. BUT THAT WOULD BE ENTIRELY UP TO YOU RIGHT NOW FOR THE FINAL DRAFT, WE HAVE IT AT 2700 K, SO YOU MAY CHOOSE TO LEAVE THAT OR CHANGE CLASS ONE LIGHTING ONLY, WHICH IS WHAT ALLOWS FOR COLOR RENDITION.

WHEN YOU WANT TO HAVE ACTIVITIES THAT YOU HAVE, WANT TO SEE THE TRUE COLOR OF THINGS.

THAT WOULD BE THE CLASS ONE LIGHTING. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT BACK TO 3000 K, THAT'S AN OPTION.

THE OTHER BIG DISCUSSION THAT WAS HAD STRING LIGHTING.

THERE'S A LOT OF CONTROVERSY ABOUT STRING LIGHTING.

[01:45:03]

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE IT. SO IT IS DIFFICULT WHEN WE MAKE THIS ORDINANCE.

IF WE HAVE A BIG CHANGE CERTAIN PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR USE FROM PREVIOUS STRING LIGHTING THAT THEY DO HAVE VERSUS ANYONE WHO'S APPLYING FOR NEW PERMITS AT THIS TIME. SO THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT PROHIBITING IT ALTOGETHER, WHICH COULD CREATE SOME ISSUES. AND THERE WAS ALSO DISCUSSION ABOUT SHIELDING THE STRING LIGHTING AND HOW WE CAN AVOID THE SPILL OF LIGHT FROM THE SIDES OF BUILDINGS IF THERE'S A ROOF OVERHANG OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

SO A RECOMMENDATION RIGHT NOW IN THIS SUBSECTION, WE DO HAVE JUST A AND B.

WE COULD BREAK THAT OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE EASE OF UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS SOME MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHEN IT WOULD BE ALLOWED, WHEN IT WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED, BUT THE MAIN CHANGE WOULD BE IN WHAT COULD BECOME C OUTDOOR STRING LIGHTING MUST BE FULLY SHIELDED AND MAY NOT EXCEED 2700 K, ETC. SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT LANGUAGE, WE COULD DO THAT.

I DO HAVE AN EXAMPLE. THIS IS, I BELIEVE, FROM MOTHER ROAD BREWERY IN FLAGSTAFF.

SO THEY DO ALLOW STRING LIGHTING WITH THIS OUTDOOR SHIELDING.

THE OUTDOOR I'M SORRY. THE EXTERNAL SHIELDING IS AVAILABLE IN BIG BOX STORES SO IT'S VERY INEXPENSIVE.

I THINK $1.20 DOLLAR 30 FOR EACH OF THOSE. SO IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO DO IF SOMEONE CHOSE TO HAVE STRING LIGHTING OUT FOR PATIO OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 301 DEFINITIONS TO HAVE THE DEFINITION OF EVE AND TO REPLACE THE CURRENT SECTION 603 CALLED LIGHT POLLUTION CONTROL, WITH A NEW SECTION 603 CALLED OUTDOOR LIGHTING STANDARDS.

AGAIN, THE VOTE WAS 8 TO 1 FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL, AND THIS WAS GIVEN TO US BY PRESCOTT ASTRONOMY CLUB.

THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING SOME READINGS. THIS IS A BORTLE MAP SHOWING THE LIGHT OUTPUT GETTING INTO THE SKY.

THE WESTERN SIDE OF YAVAPAI COUNTY THERE IS FAIRLY DARK RIGHT NOW, AND WE'D LIKE TO PRESERVE THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND DO WHAT WE CAN IN THE OTHER AREAS OF THE COUNTY AS WELL, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THOSE DARK SKIES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO REACH OUT TO THE CLERK OF THE BOARD JUST TO FOLLOW UP, IS THERE ANY OTHER LETTERS OR ANYTHING YOU'VE RECEIVED SINCE WE'VE STARTED OUR MEETING? THE BOARD RECEIVED FOUR IN TOTAL. ONE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS AND ONE NEUTRAL.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND SO WE HAVE VICE CHAIR HERE WITH SOME PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

SO IF WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC? OKAY, THEN. THANK YOU. OKAY. JAMES VAUGHN. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS JAMES VAUGHN.

I LIVE IN A RURAL PART OF THE COUNTY, ABOUT EIGHT MILES NORTHEAST OF PRESCOTT VALLEY.

I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE PRESCOTT ASTRONOMY CLUB.

LAST NIGHT, WHICH IS WHY I SEEM TIRED THIS MORNING.

LAST NIGHT, THE CLUB GAVE A ASTRONOMY DEMONSTRATION TO A GROUP OF OF CAMPERS OUT IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY.

WE HAD ABOUT SIX TELESCOPES OUT THERE. SO WE COULD SHOW THEM A DIFFERENT VARIETY OF OBJECTS IN THE SKY.

AND THE GROUP, THE CAMPERS WERE AS AS BEST I CAN DETERMINE ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL AGE.

ALTHOUGH AT MY AGE, THEY ALL START LOOKING REALLY YOUNG.

YEAH. BUT THEY'RE A GREAT GROUP OF KIDS. ONE OF THE RULES THAT WE PUT ON OUR DEMONSTRATIONS IS ASK THE ASTRONOMER QUESTIONS. THAT'S ASKING FOR TROUBLE.

BUT. AND IT DOES REALLY TEST YOUR MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCIENCE AND MY COMPREHENSION OF IT.

AND I GOT SOME REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS LAST NIGHT ON STELLAR FORMATION AND LIFE CYCLE AND SO ON.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I EMPHASIZED TO THE GROUPS THAT VISITED MY TELESCOPE WAS NOT ONLY NOT ONLY THE OBJECT THAT I'M SHOWING HIM IN THE SCOPE, BUT JUST LOOK UP. YOU KNOW, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE OUT HERE IN THE AT THE CAMP, EVERY TIME YOU'RE OUTSIDE AT NIGHT, JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND LOOK UP BECAUSE YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE THIS VIEW IF YOU'RE IN THE CITY OR IF YOU'RE IN A LIGHT POLLUTED AREA.

AND I, AS A RESIDENT OF A RURAL AREA, ALSO APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO WALK OUTSIDE AT NIGHT AND SEE THE MILKY WAY INSTEAD OF A

[01:50:04]

BUNCH OF ELECTRIC LIGHTS. EVERYONE I KNOW, MY NEIGHBORS AND MY FRIENDS FEEL THE SAME WAY.

AND IT'S FOR THAT REASON, BECAUSE THIS NEW REWRITE, ESPECIALLY OF SECTION 603, HAS PROVISIONS TO PRESERVE OUR CURRENT VIEW OF THE NIGHT SKY.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENDORSE THESE CHANGES, AND I RECOMMEND THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF ACCEPTING THIS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DAVE. EXCUSE ME. DAVE INMAN.

HANDOUTS FOR YOU GUYS. CAN YOU GIVE IT TO ME? CAN. YOU.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. MY NAME IS DAVE INMAN.

I AM A RESIDENT OF CAMP VERDE. THANK YOU. MADAM CHAIR VICE CHAIR AND SUPERVISORS.

WE PULL UP MY NOTES HERE REAL QUICK BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER THIS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I AM THE CHAIR OF DARK SKY VERDE VALLEY, AS WELL AS ONE OF TWO STATE DELEGATES FOR DARK SKY INTERNATIONAL.

I DEFINITELY AM A BIG FAN OF THESE CHANGES, BUT I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE US THINK ABOUT MAYBE HAVING EVEN STRICTER REQUIREMENTS.

WE DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW LIGHT AFFECTS US BOTH POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY.

IN FACT, THE ONLY TIME WE THINK ABOUT LIGHT IS WHEN OUR LIGHTS DON'T WORK.

MY HOPE IS TO CONVEY THAT THE CURRENT STANDARD OF 3000 K IS NOT ENOUGH TO STAVE OFF THE LOSS OF OUR NIGHT SKY.

THE HANDOUT PROVIDED SIGNIFIES THIS FACT. WHAT YOU SEE ARE THE RESULTS OF A COUNTYWIDE CONVERSION FROM HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM TO 3000 K LED.

THIS CONVERSION NEARLY TRIPLED THE SKY GLOW. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED THE NATIONAL PARK WHITE PAPER FOR YOUR REVIEW.

IF OUR INTENT IS TO RETAIN OUR CELESTIAL PHENOMENA, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT WE NEED TO FURTHER EXAMINE IF THREE K OR EVEN 27 K IS WHERE UPPER LIMIT SHOULD RESIDE. I WOULD FURTHER STATE BLUE LIGHT AT NIGHT NOT ONLY DISADVANTAGES OUR NIGHTTIME OBSERVATIONS, BUT ALSO NEGATIVELY IMPACTS OUR NOCTURNAL POLLINATORS.

MIGRATORY BIRDS, FLOWERING PLANTS AFFECTS PREDATOR PREY DYNAMICS AND INCREASES CANCER RATES.

I'M HAPPY TO EXPAND ON ANY TOPIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JAMES STEVENS. GET UP AS FAST AS I CAN.

I'M NOT YOUNG ANYMORE. GO FOR IT. MY NAME IS JAMES STEVENS.

I'M ONE OF FOUR PEOPLE THAT HELPED DISCOVERED COMET HALE-BOPP.

AND THE REASON I'M ASKING FOR TO HAVE THE LIGHTS TAKEN CARE OF AT AS LOW AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN GO, IS BECAUSE OF THE DANGERS OF OBJECTS COMING IN TO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THE EARTH OUT IN POPULATION. EVERYBODY. BECAUSE IF WE GET HIT BY ONE OF THESE OBJECTS, IT'S ALL OVER.

AND IT'S VERY EASY TO HAVE THESE, THESE THINGS HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE'S THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF OBJECTS THAT ARE ORBITING AROUND OUR SUN.

AND ALL I HAVE TO BE TO HAPPEN IS TO HAVE THEM DEFLECTED SLIGHTLY AND THEY CAN RUN INTO THE EARTH.

AND COMET HALE-BOPP, AT THE TIME THAT WE DISCOVERED IT, TURNED OUT TO BE ABOUT 20 MILES IN DIAMETER ON THE CORE DIAMETER OF THIS OBJECT.

IF IT HAD HIT EARTH, AND IT COULD VERY WELL HAVE BECAUSE IT CAME WITHIN 100 MILLION MILES OF EARTH.

BUT WE JUST HAPPENED TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ORBIT AT THAT TIME, AND OUR ORBIT GOES OUT AS FAR AS 95 MILLION.

SO ANY DEFLECTION FROM ANOTHER OBJECT THAT WAS OUT THERE, OR EVEN THE EARTH'S GRAVITATION WOULD HAVE PULLED IT INTO EARTH, AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD DAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SUE HALVERSON. GOOD. HELLO, EVERYONE. OH, EVERYBODY'S TALL. HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS SUE HALVERSON AND I'M ACTUALLY A LOCAL.

I LIVE IN CORNVILLE IN VERDES, SANTA FE, WHICH BASICALLY IS ON THE CORNER OF 89 A AND MINGUS CORNVILLE ROAD.

VERDE SANTA FE IS A DARK SKY COMMUNITY, AND I JUST WANT TO TALK A MINUTE FROM A LOCAL POINT OF VIEW.

WHEN MY FAMILY CAME OUT TO VISIT ME, WE STOOD OUTSIDE AND THEY'RE LIKE, WHY DOES NOBODY HAVE THEIR LIGHTS ON? IT WAS REALLY DARK. THEY'RE LIKE, IT'S REALLY DARK HERE. I SAID, LOOK UP! THEY WENT, WHOA! THEY WERE LIKE BLOWN AWAY THAT THEY COULD SEE THE NIGHT SKY.

AND I SAID, IT'S NOT ONLY THAT, IT GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY.

[01:55:01]

I'M A MASTER NATURALIST, I LOVE NATURE. IT GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN TO THEM HOW BIRDS MIGRATE AT NIGHT AND THE LIGHT AFFECTS THEIR MIGRATION. SO SAME WITH MOTHS. MY NEIGHBORS ALL KNOW ME AS THE PERSON TO ASK QUESTIONS TOO.

WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, WILDLIFE OR NATURAL THINGS.

AND ONE DAY, ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS TEXTED ME A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE LARGEST MOSS IN NORTH AMERICA.

ITS WINGSPAN WAS LIKE A FOOT. IT WAS HUGE. IT WAS UP ON HER PATIO.

SHE GOES, IS IT DAD? DO I? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? I SAID, NO, IT MIGRATED AT NIGHT. I SAID, AND IT'S SLEEPING RIGHT NOW DURING THE DAY BECAUSE WE HAVE NO LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

SO IT FELT SAFE. I SAID, LEAVE IT ALONE AND IT'LL BE GONE BY NIGHT.

IT'S GOING TO GO ON ITS PATH. SURE ENOUGH, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

IT GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT LIGHT POLLUTION DOES TO THE MIGRATION PATTERNS, WHAT IT DOES TO US AS HUMANS, HOW IT AFFECTS NOT ONLY THE WILDLIFE BUT US.

IT AFFECTS OUR SLEEP PATTERNS. THERE'S A WHOLE GAMUT OF THINGS IT DOES.

AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO ALL OF THAT HERE. I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK LESS IS BETTER FOR THE LIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THE NUMBERS. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT ALL MEANS? ALL I KNOW IS LESS IS BETTER BECAUSE THE LIGHT AFFECTS ME.

I LOVE IT THAT I'M IN A DARK COMMUNITY. I LOVE IT THAT I WISH MORE COMMUNITIES WOULD BE A DARK SKY COMMUNITY.

IT'S NOT THAT EXPENSIVE TO CHANGE YOUR LIGHTS.

IT'S NOT THAT EXPENSIVE TO PUT A LITTLE SHIELD OVER IT.

AND IT WORKS. IT WORKS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IT WORKS IN THE CITIES THAT HAVE IT.

AND I'M A BIG ADVOCATE OF IT. SO I BELIEVE LIKE I SAID, LESS IS BETTER.

AND IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN THE DOOR TO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHY NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE, BUT WHY FOR THE WHOLE EVERYBODY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DAVE NORTON. GOOD AFTERNOON DAVE.

GOOD MORNING. IS IT STILL MORNING? IT'S STILL MORNING SOMEWHERE.

GOOD MORNING. I AM DAVE NORTON WITH THE ASTRONOMERS OF THE VERDE VALLEY, AND ALSO THE CO-CHAIR OF THE BIG PARK.

DARK SKY COMMITTEE. I WROTE YOU A LETTER. I APOLOGIZE, TAKE THAT BACK.

THAT WAS WRITTEN AT 2 A.M.. AFTER BEING IN AND OUT OF AIRPORTS FOR 48 HOURS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

SO I'M A LITTLE MORE COHERENT THIS MORNING. I'D LIKE YOU TO HAVE THE ORDINANCE OR THE DRAFT ORDINANCE OUT IN FRONT OF YOU.

I'VE GOT A FEW THINGS IN HERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, AND I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I THINK WOULD IMPROVE THIS.

I WAS ONE OF THE THE COAUTHORS OF THE ORIGINAL DRAFT, AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT, A LOT, A LOT OF INPUT ON THIS WITH STAFF AND COMMUNITY AND ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. SO IT'S A GOOD PRODUCT.

LET'S TRY TO MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE BETTER. SECTION A, THE PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT THE PRESERVATION OF DARK NIGHT SKIES. GREAT. LET'S FOLLOW THROUGH. PAGE TWO.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. WE TALK ABOUT CLASS ONE.

LIGHTING IS 2700 KELVINS. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE PROPER TERM.

I THINK KELVIN IS SINGULAR. IT'S NAMED AFTER A PERSON, AND IT SHOULD BE CAPITALIZED.

AND IT SAYS THEY MUST BE FULLY SHIELDED. LOVE IT.

YOU GO ON TO PAGE THREE, ROMAN NUMERAL THREE.

OUTDOOR EATING AREAS AT RESTAURANTS. OKAY. FULLY SHIELDED.

THE PRESENTATION THAT SUSAN GAVE SAID THAT STRING LIGHTING MUST BE FULLY SHIELDED.

THAT IS SOMETHING NEW THAT PROBABLY CAME OUT OF THE COMMISSION THAT I SPOKE AT.

THANK YOU. LET'S SEE IF IT'LL WORK. ON PAGE THREE, SEE ROMAN NUMERAL TWO. FLAG AND MONUMENT LIGHTING MAY BE PARTIALLY SHIELDED.

WHY ARE WE DOING THAT? FLAG LIGHTING TYPICALLY GOES UP.

IT SHOULD NOT GO UP. WE MAKE FIXTURES THAT LIGHT FROM THE TOP THAT COME DOWN.

THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE GOING FOR. MONUMENT LIGHTING.

I CAN SHOW YOU MONUMENT SIGNS WHERE THERE'S A LIGHT HITTING THE SIGN AND SPRAYING ALL OVER INTO THE SKY.

THOSE SHOULD BE LIT FROM THE TOP AND NOT ALLOWED TO TO POLLUTE THE NIGHT SKY.

SKIP OVER TO PAGE SIX. AND WE'VE GOT OUR FRIEND STRING LIGHTING.

BUT WE'VE SEEN TWO ADDITIONS TO THAT WHICH I'M IN SUPPORT OF.

[02:00:02]

AND SKIPPING BACK. PAGE TEN F IS PROHIBITED. OUTDOOR LIGHTING. ANYTHING ABOVE A HORIZONTAL PLANE.

OKAY. SOUNDS WONDERFUL. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE REALITY CHECK ON THAT STRING.

LIGHTING AS CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE PUTS LIGHT ABOVE A HORIZONTAL PLANE.

SO DOES FLAG LIGHTING. SO DOES MONUMENT LIGHTING.

SO THE LITTLE INCONSISTENCY THERE, THE BIG ONE I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH IS PAGE 11 UNDER H.

THE LAST FIVE WORDS. IT SAYS WE'LL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.

SO ANY LIGHTING THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WILL BE DEEMED LEGAL, BUT NON-CONFORMING.

WELL, IF OUR GOAL IS TO SUPPORT THE PRESERVATION OF DARK NIGHT SKIES, WHY WOULD WE ALLOW SOMEBODY WHO IS OR SOME PLACE THAT IS CURRENTLY VIOLATING THE DARK SKY CONCEPT TO CONTINUE? YOU. WE DON'T DO THAT WITH OTHER STATUTES IN THE STATE.

WE HAVE A COMPLIANCE DATE. AS OF SO-AND-SO DATE, YOU CAN'T HAVE FIREARMS. YOU CAN'T HAVE CERTAIN THINGS AROUND IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

WHY IS THIS LOOSEY GOOSEY AND SAY YOU CAN CONTINUE BEING A BAD ACTOR? THINK ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH ENFORCEMENT OF THAT.

AN ENFORCEMENT OFFICER GOES OUT TO A BUSINESS AND SAYS YOUR LIGHTS ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

THEY CAN SAY, OH, BUT I HAD THESE IN 2022. NOW WE HAVE A HE SAID.

SHE SAID WHERE THE THE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IS FACED WITH TRYING TO DEAL WITH A VIOLATOR OR PERCEIVED A VIOLATOR THAT THEY CAN'T ENFORCE BECAUSE THERE'S NO PROOF OF WHEN THOSE WERE PUT IN AND THEY SAY, WELL, I'M NOT CONFORMING AND I'M CONTINUING.

THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S A PROBLEM. I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST MAYBE JANUARY 1ST, 27 SHOULD BE A COMPLIANCE DATE AND ALLOW BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE TIME TO GET EDUCATED ON THIS, AND THE COUNTY NEEDS TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO PUT THE WORD OUT TO PEOPLE.

SIR, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES AND WE'RE AT THAT, BUT IF YOU COULD WRAP IT UP QUICKLY, I CAN WRAP IT UP WITH A BOW ON IT. PAGE 15. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE REMOVAL OF THAT DIAGRAM AND REPLACE IT WITH A WONDERFUL DIAGRAM THAT SUSAN DISPLAYED UP HERE IN THE BLUE.

THIS THING IS NOT CLEAR. HERS IS CRYSTAL CLEAR.

SO I THANK YOU. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS PASSED WITH A COUPLE OF TWEAKS AND A COMPLIANCE DATE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. BRIAN BLAU I PRONOUNCE THAT CORRECTLY OR.

NO. NO. TEACH ME. I'LL TEACH YOU. MY NAME IS BRIAN BLAU.

BLAUE IS A GERMAN WORD FOR BLUE. SO THAT'S HOW IT'S PRONOUNCED.

IN ANY CASE, I'M BRIAN BLAU. AND THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, AND ALL THE SUPERVISORS. I AM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE PRESCOTT ASTRONOMY CLUB, AND I ALSO CHAIR THE ASTRONOMY CLUB'S DARK SKY COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF MORE THAN 125 PRESCOTT ASTRONOMY CLUB MEMBERS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHOM RESIDE RIGHT HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK UPDATING AND REVISING THE OUTDOOR LIGHTING OR STANDARD.

WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS TO UPDATE THESE REGULATIONS AND BUILDING CODES, WHICH ADDRESS BOTH NEW LIGHTING TECHNOLOGIES AND THE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN OUR REGION, AND THE IMPACT OF THE INCREASED LIGHTING OVER TIME AS THE REGION GROWS.

WE BELIEVE THIS UPDATED ORDINANCE IS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARD EFFECTIVELY MANAGING THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF POOR LIGHTING CHOICES SUCH AS LIGHT TRESPASS AND EXTREME GLARE. AND ULTIMATELY, THIS NEW ORDINANCE IS GOING TO HELP PRESERVE THE DARK SKIES OF THE COUNTY FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS. THE PRESCOTT ASTRONOMY CLUB WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1974, AND WE HAD OUR 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY LAST YEAR.

THE CLUB HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO ASTRONOMY EDUCATION AND OUTREACH IN THE COUNTY.

WE OFFER MONTHLY LECTURES, STAR PARTIES, EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF ALL AGES.

AT NEARLY ALL OF OUR EVENTS. WE CONSISTENTLY HEAR FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS CONCERNED ABOUT INCREASED LIGHT POLLUTION.

AND MOST, I WOULD SAY EVERYONE IS UNAWARE OF HOW TO ADDRESS LIGHT TRESPASS FROM NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY COMMON AND LIKELY YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IT.

[02:05:03]

OR YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED LIGHT TRESPASS.

YAVAPAI COUNTY IS ALREADY A HOME FOR FOUR CERTIFIED DARK SKY PLACES, AND THEY'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR EXCEPTIONAL NIGHT SKIES.

SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF THE OTHER ASTRONOMY CLUBS HERE TODAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THOSE EFFORTS.

THE UPDATED ORDINANCE YOU'RE ABOUT TO VOTE ON WILL NOT ONLY HELP SUPPORT THOSE DARK SKY PLACES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DESIGNATED, BUT ALSO IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE A ROBUST FRAMEWORK FOR ADDRESSING LIGHTING ISSUES THAT PROTECT DARK SKIES ALL OVER THE COUNTY.

I'M GLAD MISS ABBOTT LEFT THIS THIS CHART UP HERE, BECAUSE I WANTED TO POINT OUT THERE'S SOME PROFOUNDLY DARK SKY LOCATIONS IN THE COUNTY.

IF YOU NOTICE THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY.

AND I'M GOING TO DESIGNATE THAT AS THE WESTERN YAVAPAI COUNTY DARK SKY CORRIDOR.

THIS CORRIDOR REPRESENTS A UNIQUE AND INVALUABLE OPPORTUNITY TO PROACTIVELY PROTECT THE PRISTINE, PRISTINE, DARK SKIES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE ASTRONOMY CLUB HAS ALREADY PROVIDED WRITTEN RESPONSE.

AND SO MY COMMENTS HERE ARE SOME OF YOU. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PROVIDING THESE PUBLIC FORUMS FOR US TO HAVE OUR INPUT.

AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE CHANGES IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY ARE EFFECTIVE.

AND THE ASTRONOMY CLUB URGES YOU TO VOTE. YES.

AS MENTIONED FROM SOME OF THE OTHER SPEAKERS AND FROM MISS HABER, THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT WE ALSO AGREE COULD BE UPDATED, SPECIFICALLY THE STRING LIGHTING. WE FULLY AGREE THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME MORE REGULATIONS PUT ON THE STRING LIGHTING TYPE OF DEVICES NOT PASSING, WHICH IS YOUR OPTION TODAY WOULD BE EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL.

YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART HERE THAT THERE'S ALREADY SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTY THAT HAVE EXTREME LIGHT POLLUTION, AND THERE'S LIKELY NOT A LOT THAT CAN BE DONE TO REDUCE IT, BUT WE CAN PROTECT THE DARK SKIES AND ALL THE COMMUNITIES.

HERE, I VOTE FOR YOUR PASSAGE OF THE ORDINANCE TO SET A NEW STANDARD FOR OUTDOOR LIGHTING IN THE COUNTY.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU, SIR RICHARD, FROM ASTRONOMERS OF THE VERDE VALLEY.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. I'M RICHARD BONNER.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASTRONOMERS OF VERDE VALLEY.

AND I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE OF LIGHTING.

AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE SCIENCE OF ASTRONOMY THAT OUR DARK SKIES REMAIN THE WAY THEY DO. DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OVER 60 BUSINESSES IN NORTHERN ARIZONA THAT DEPEND ON ASTRONOMY? AND WITH THE INCREASE IN ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING AT NIGHT, WE'LL TAKE OUR DARK SKIES MUCH BRIGHTER.

SO WHAT HAPPENS? THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE ASTRONOMY WORK FROM LOWELL OBSERVATORY THAT EMPLOYS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND ASTRONOMERS, PROFESSIONAL ASTRONOMERS, DOWN TO THE SINGLE GUY WHO DOES LITTLE STAR TOURS WITH HIS TELESCOPE AND THAT, WELL, IF THE SKIES GET LIGHTER, THESE PEOPLE WILL FIND ANOTHER SPOT.

THEY WILL MOVE AWAY. AND SO THERE WILL BE A DECREASE IN ASTRONOMY TOURISM.

YES, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS ASTRONOMY TOURISM.

PEOPLE COME FROM OTHER PLACES TO COME TO THE ARIZONA DARK SKIES.

SO IF ARTIFICIAL LIGHT AT NIGHT IS INCREASED, THIS WILL DECREASE OUR REVENUES, OUR SPENDING OF THESE FROM THESE TOURISTS IN HOTELS, SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, ETC., WHICH WILL RESULT IN A DECREASE IN SALES TAX WHICH DECREASES POCKETS FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

BUT ASTRONOMY IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE HERE WITH ABUNDANCE OF LIGHT AT NIGHT.

SO AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE ME, IT AFFECTS THE MIGRATION OF ANIMALS, BIRDS, INSECTS, ETC. BUT IT ALSO AFFECTS HUMANS. THERE'S COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO THIS BECAUSE HUMANS WERE DESIGNED TO BE NOT NOCTURNAL. AND INSIDE OUR EYEBALLS WE HAVE PHOTORECEPTORS, AND THOSE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR VISION.

THEY SENSE LIGHT. SO WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, THESE PHOTORECEPTORS UNDERSTAND THIS LESS LIGHT PRODUCES MELATONIN THAT HELPS US GO TO SLEEP. WHEN THE SUN COMES UP IN THE MORNING, THE MELATONIN PRODUCTION STOPS AND WE WAKE UP WHILE ARTIFICIAL LIGHT AT NIGHT.

AND WE'VE ALL HEARD, LIKE USING BLUE SCREENS, LIKE OUR PHONES, COMPUTERS, TELEVISION.

AND THAT STOPS THE PRODUCTION OF MELATONIN. SO WHAT HAPPENS? THERE'S BEEN A SHARP INCREASE IN SLEEP DISORDERS OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS.

AND WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY GIVE YOU PILLS. SO I THINK THE RIGHT WAY TO DO THIS IS TO DECREASE THE LIGHT.

[02:10:04]

AND HUMANS. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE FIRST EVOLVED FROM HOMO ERECTUS INTO HOMO SAPIENS AND THAT THESE PHOTORECEPTORS IN OUR EYES DEVELOPED AND THAT AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH HUMAN HEALTH.

AND IT'S UPSETTING THE BALANCE OF NATURE BY WITH THE INCREASE OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHT AT NIGHT.

SO WE'RE NOT SAYING TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF, WE'RE JUST SAYING TO USE ELECTRICITY EFFECTIVELY.

YES. WE NEED CAR HEADLIGHTS, WE NEED PORCH LIGHTS.

SOMETHING RINGS OUR DOORBELL, WE TURN THE PORCH LIGHTS ON.

WE DON'T HAVE TO NEED THEM ON ALL NIGHT LONG.

WE DON'T NEED HOUSES THAT ARE LIT UP ALL NIGHT LONG LIKE A PRISON YARD.

SO LET'S EFFECTIVELY USE ELECTRICITY AND LIGHT AT NIGHT.

IN THE UK, THEY'VE EXPERIMENTED WITH ACTUALLY USING TIMERS AND PROXIMITY SENSORS ON STREETLIGHTS.

AND THEY FOUND THAT BETWEEN, SAY, FIVE AND 10 P.M., THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS WHERE WE SLEEP AND THAT BUT AFTER THAT, THE SHARPLY DECREASE IN VEHICLE TRAFFIC. SO THEY TURNED OFF.

YES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FINISH UP HERE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. SO THEY TURNED OFF HALF THE STREETLIGHTS FOR THE NIGHT SAVING ELECTRICITY.

THAT WAS THE BASIC MAIN THING FOR THAT. SO IN SUMMARY WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE LIGHT EFFECTIVELY.

KEEP THE COST OF ELECTRICITY DOWN. LET'S PROTECT OUR WAY OF LIFE.

AND LET'S NOT OVERABUNDANT LIGHT AT NIGHT TO AFFECT SCIENCE, WILDLIFE AND HUMAN LIFE.

LET'S TAKE THIS UNDER CONTROL NOW, WHILE WE STILL CAN.

AND JUST ONE MORE QUICK THING. THE STRING LIGHTS.

THE ONE SLIDE OF THE BUSINESS IN FLAGSTAFF, MOTHER ROAD BREWING DID THE RIGHT THING.

THEY PUT SHIELDING AROUND IT. THE OTHER PICTURE EARLIER THAN THAT SHOWED UNSHIELDED LIGHTS.

THEY ARE WHAT I CALL CARNIVAL LIGHTS. UNSHIELDED LIGHTS THAT SHINE UP OUT, DOWN, EVERYWHERE.

THOSE ARE NOT APPROPRIATE. THOSE ARE ALL THE GREEN SHEETS, MADAM CHAIR.

OKAY. OKAY. GOING TO REACH OUT TO ANY OF THE SUPERVISORS.

ANY COMMENTS? DO YOU WANT TO HEAR SOME MORE FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES? I'D ALSO PREFER TO HEAR FROM COMMISSIONER LINDA BUCHANAN ON THIS TO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE QUESTION OF IF THE COMMISSION CONSIDERED SOME OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT WERE JUST EXPRESSED SPECIFICALLY AROUND STRING LIGHTS AND ALSO AN EFFECTIVE DATE THAT WOULD BE RETROACTIVE FOR OTHER APPROVED LIGHTING.

THANK YOU. AGAIN, LINDA BUCHANAN. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, DISTRICT TWO.

THIS WAS AT THE CONCLUSION OF OUR SECOND PUBLIC HEARING.

WE HAD REALLY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION OF ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU'RE FACING TODAY.

I THINK ON THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NONE OF US HAD THE LEVEL OF EXPERTISE THAT DELVES DOWN INTO THE SCIENTIFIC LEVEL HERE.

AND I KNOW THAT I PERSONALLY WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT STRING LIGHTS ARE THE BIGGEST OFFENDER AND THE GREATEST DETRIMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ESPECIALLY WHEN I THINK THEY'RE SOLD, LIKE, BY THE BILLIONS AT OUR LOCAL STORES.

SO WE HAD A VERY SERIOUS DISCUSSION AROUND THAT WITH COMMISSIONER OF DISTRICT THREE BEING THE LONE NO VOTE.

I THINK THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOGNIZES THAT YOU'RE FACING THIS VERY SERIOUS DETERMINATION OF WHAT THE RIGHT NUMBER ON THE KELVIN UNITS IS. WE RECOGNIZE THAT WHATEVER NUMBER YOU SET BECOMES THE ENFORCEMENT STANDARD.

AND WE BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY IN YAVAPAI COUNTY, AS WE'VE DONE WITH WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER AWARENESS, THAT EDUCATION, ENCOURAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CAN BE A BIG PART OF THE BEHAVIOR.

THE DESIRABLE BEHAVIOR CHANGES TO PARTICULARLY EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT STRING LIGHTS, OR MAYBE BETTER PARTY LIGHTS BELONGING ON FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR A SPECIFIC EVENT AND WITH THE SHIELDING.

WE DID ALSO VET THE CONFORMING A NONCONFORMING ISSUE VERSUS AN ENFORCEMENT DATE. AND WE DID NOT COME FORWARD TO YOU WITH A SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION ON THAT.

WE RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE. AND WISH YOU WELL IN THAT DECISION.

YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND DID YOU HAVE SUPERVISOR CHECK.

[02:15:02]

DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR. I THINK YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS.

WE. AND TO YOUR VERY SPECIFIC POINT. YES, WE DID HEAR FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

AND I RECOGNIZE THIS ENTIRE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT RELEVANT NOT JUST TO YAVAPAI COUNTY, BUT GREATER ARIZONA. AND WE THINK THAT WE HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE EPICENTER OF GOOD CHOICES AND GOOD DECISIONS.

AND YOU'VE HEARD ADDITIONALLY FROM PEOPLE TODAY THAT DID NOT PRESENT PREVIOUSLY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CAN CAN I HAVE YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE, I THINK WHERE IT HAD THE SHIELDING ON IT. YOU HAD THIS ONE.

YEAH, MAYBE THAT WAS IT. SO IS THAT IN THERE TO PUT THAT ON THERE.

YOU HAD SOME OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS. AN EXAMPLE EARLY ON RIGHT.

OKAY. SO. SO WE LIKE THE COMPLIANT ONE. YES I THINK THAT WORKS. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING. AND OF COURSE THE STRING LIGHTS ARE AN ISSUE.

I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IF WE DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THE STRING LIGHTS GOING FORWARD.

BUT THE ONES THAT ARE THERE NOW ARE PERMITTED OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

SO FOR ANY, ANY SITUATION UNDER ZONING CODES, IF SOMEBODY IS ENJOYING A USE PRIOR TO A CHANGE IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE, WE CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THEM, TYPICALLY.

UNLESS WE WERE TO WRITE THAT IN, FOR EXAMPLE, WE DID ORIGINALLY HAVE A TEN YEAR COMPLIANCE DATE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTY TO COMPLY WITH OUR NEW ORDINANCE. ON LEGAL REVIEW. THERE WAS A CONCERN THAT THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A REGULATORY TAKING AS WELL.

SO NONCONFORMING USES ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTY.

AS THINGS GET UPDATED, NEW PERMITS AS THEY COME IN ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE STRICTER STANDARDS, BUT NOT WE DON'T GO AND LOOK FOR OLD USES TO CONFORM.

SO WE GET A COMPLAINT. IT'S WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW IF IT'S OLD.

SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE ISSUE. THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FOR SURE.

GO AHEAD. MY QUESTION IS TO COUNCIL I HEAR RETROACTIVE AND ENFORCEMENT AND FUNDING.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE POLICE AND IT JUST AND THE AMOUNT OF CHANGE IN HERE.

BUT IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO RETROACTIVE PLEASE.

YES. VICE CHAIR. CHAIR. SUPERVISORS. I WOULD AGREE GENERALLY WITH THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

GENERALLY LAND USE REGULATION CANNOT BE RETROACTIVE.

I MEAN, THE COMMON TERM IS GRANDFATHERED RIGHTS.

WHEN SOMEONE HAS AN EXISTING USE AND YOU TAKE THAT AWAY, THEY'RE POTENTIALLY ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION FOR YOU STRIPPING THEM OF THAT EXISTING.

RIGHT. SO TYPICALLY LAND USE REGULATIONS ARE PROSPECTIVE.

AND THAT AVOIDS THE RISK IN TERMS OF ENFORCEMENT.

IT'S THIS WILL BE UNIFORMLY ENFORCED. IT WILL BE UP TO AN INDIVIDUAL TO ASSERT THAT THE USE EXISTED PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT THE ORDINANCE TOOK EFFECT. AND THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE REVIEWED BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

THEY'D HAVE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS WELL, THEN ENFORCEMENT GOES TO COUNTY MANAGEMENT.

THAT'S WHERE MY QUESTION IS TO MR. THOMPSON. I MEAN, HOW WOULD WE EVEN ENFORCE THIS OR AFFORD THE ENFORCEMENT OR WHO WOULD ENFORCE IT.

AND WHAT DOES THAT GET US INTO? THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

VICE CHAIR, I DON'T KNOW, QUITE FRANKLY, THAT I CAN ADD MORE TO WHAT COUNCIL SAID.

I THINK YOU'RE YOU'RE POSING THE QUESTION BE EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

AND IF I MAY CURRENTLY WE HAVE A LAND USE CODE.

ENFORCEMENT GOES THROUGH THEM. LAND USE UNIT IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

WE DO GET DARK SKY COMPLAINTS ALL THE TIME. AND THAT IS PART OF THE PROCESS WHERE THEY WOULD GO OUT AND CHECK AND SEE IF THERE IS A VIOLATION OCCURRING AND IF IT OCCURS. CURRENTLY, THE DATE IS 2006. THE LAST TIME WE HAD A MAJOR UPDATE TO THIS ORDINANCE.

AND IT CAN BE DIFFICULT. SO I MEAN, I'M IN SUPPORT OF WHAT THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO DO, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUT US IN A SITUATION TO WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER TO DO IT.

YEAH, THAT'S MY CONCERN, BUT I DO I DO UNDERSTAND AND SUPPORT THE ENDEAVOR.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT THE COUNTY IN A POSITION TO WHERE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING, OR WE END UP IN ENFORCEMENT QUAGMIRES THAT WHAT WE ALREADY DO IN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IN OTHER AREAS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE JUST SEEM TO BE ADDING ON TO IT.

I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE COUNTY AND WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT IS THROUGH AN EDUCATION COMPONENT.

[02:20:05]

IN THE FUTURE, WE DO HAVE PLANS TO TO LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW THEY CAN EASILY COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THIS ORDINANCE.

YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT IS NOT REQUIRED, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD ENCOURAGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

MADAM CHAIR, THAT'S YOU KNOW, MY COMMENT ON THE TOPIC IS THAT INSTEAD OF GOING DOWN A TRUE ENFORCEMENT PATHWAY FOR EXISTING USE THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO CREATE A CELEBRATORY PATHWAY FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES IN WHAT BRINGING THEIR BUSINESS.

UP TO THE CODE CAN MEAN FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR DARK SKIES.

AND THEN CELEBRATE THOSE GOOD ACTORS. SO, I MEAN, I THINK THAT THAT COULD BE A GOAL IS TO DO ENOUGH EDUCATION AND THEN HAVE A CELEBRATION OF THOSE THOSE COMPANIES THAT CHOSE TO BECOME DARK SKY COMPLIANT VOLUNTARILY.

I MEAN, AND WE COULD POSSIBLY EVEN WRITE IN TO THE ORDINANCE A REQUEST THAT BUSINESSES COME INTO COMPLIANCE VOLUNTARILY WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

AND ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN EXEMPTION FOR CHRISTMAS TIME? WE DO HAVE HOLIDAY LIGHTING ADDRESSED FROM OCTOBER 15TH TO JANUARY 15TH.

AND I SHARE THE ENFORCEMENT QUESTION WITH SUPERVISOR COMPTON.

ARE WE GOING TO HAVE NIGHT PROWLERS ON STAFF NOW THAT GO AROUND? BUT I SEE THAT THAT CHINO VALLEY WITH THEIR APP.

YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF THINGS COME IN. PEOPLE CAN DOWNLOAD PICTURES OF VIOLATIONS AND GO IN THERE, WHICH WOULD KEEP US FROM REALLY GOING OUT AND DOING THAT. AND THE THE FIRST LETTER MIGHT JUST BE A COURTEOUS LETTER THAT GOES OUT AND MAYBE YOU'LL GET COMPLIANCE THAT WAY.

BUT I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO STAY UP WITH MARKET DEMANDS, PRODUCT AVAILABILITY.

I THINK SOMEBODY BROUGHT IT UP. I MEAN, YOU COULD BUY THESE LIGHTS ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW, AND IF YOU CAN BUY THEM, THEY MUST BE LEGAL TO PUT THEM UP. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE CHASING THIS DOWN LIKE CRAZY.

AND STAYING UP WITH THE SOLAR YARD LIGHTS. THESE THINGS ARE SELLING LIKE CRAZY.

AND NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS PROBABLY DARK SKY.

IT MIGHT BE UNDER THE LUMENS, BUT THEY SURE DO.

THE SOLAR LIGHTS DO HAVE AN EXCEPTION. AND THE EXCEPTIONS FOR PARTIAL SHIELDING.

SO MOST OF THE SOLAR LIGHTS THAT ARE OUT FOR LANDSCAPE USE OR DRIVEWAY LIGHTING OR THINGS LIKE THAT DO HAVE SOME KIND OF BARRIER BETWEEN THE LIGHT. BUT THE BIG THING NOW IS I'VE SEEN PEOPLE HIRING COMPANIES THAT ACTUALLY DO LED LIGHTING AROUND THE WHOLE ROOFLINE OF THE HOUSE, GOING DOWN THE HOUSE. I MEAN, THESE THINGS GLOW LIKE CRAZY.

IT'S LIKE HAVING A BILLBOARD IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT WOULD NOT BE AN ALLOWED USE. CURRENTLY, I DON'T THINK IT'S AN ALLOWED USE.

WE DO REQUIRE FULL SHIELDING RIGHT NOW FOR ALL LIGHTS.

BUT, YEAH, THE ENFORCEMENT, IF WE JUST HAVE TO SOLVE THAT BECAUSE WE CAN PASS WHATEVER LAW WE WANT.

IF WE DON'T ENFORCE IT, WHAT DOES IT MATTER? WELL, AND ALSO, I'D JUST LIKE TO ADDRESS, YOU KNOW, THE COMPLEXITY OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND THE AMOUNT OF CHANGES THAT THE GENTLEMEN WHO HAVE AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPOKEN THAT I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE VOTING ON IT TO APPROVE IT TODAY, GIVEN ALL THE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS TO IT.

AND THEY WANT CHANGES AS WELL. AND I'M BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON SOMETHING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT SOMETHING I MAY SUPPORT.

AND THEY HAVEN'T THESE HAVEN'T BEEN RESOLVED.

AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMETHING IN EFFECT UNTIL WE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON.

AND JUST TO ADDRESS THAT, WE WE HAVE LOOKED AT ALL OF THE POINTS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP TODAY.

AND THERE THEY ARE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE ORDINANCE.

A LOT OF THOSE I CAN KIND OF FIND FOR YOU IF YOU'D LIKE, BUT MOST OF LIKE THE THERE IS NO UPWARD LIGHTING ALLOWED WITHIN THE ORDINANCE. THERE'S NO THE ONLY USE OF PARTIAL SHIELDING.

AND THE DEFINITION OF PARTIAL SHIELDING ACTUALLY IS PRETTY SPECIFIC TO WHAT'S ALLOWED FOR THINGS LIKE FLAGS AND MONUMENTS.

WE CAN TAKE THAT OUT OF CLASS THREE LIGHTING.

IT'S NOT A HUGE ISSUE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT UP OTHERWISE.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF SHIELDED DOWNWARD FACING LIGHTING FOR FLAGS FOR MONUMENTS.

WE DO REQUIRE DOWNWARD SHIELD, SHIELDED LIGHTING FOR EXTERNAL SIGN ILLUMINATION.

NOBODY HAS HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT. OKAY. I APPRECIATE IT.

AND THE OTHER THE OTHER PART, THE THE MONUMENTS AND THE FLAGS BEING BROUGHT UP AS WELL, AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN MY COMMUNITY IN REFERENCE TO ONE OF THE LIGHTING THEIR FLAGS. I JUST, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW, I'M UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT TODAY.

MY PERSONAL VIEW. GO AHEAD. JUST I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS TO AT LEAST IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I SEE IN WILLIAMSON VALLEY IS, IS THE OLD SCHOOL FLOODLIGHTS, JUST A FIXTURE ON THE SIDE OF THE WALL WITH TWO GIGANTIC BULBS OUT THERE.

AND THEY HAVE MULTIPLES OF THOSE. I MEAN, THAT'S JUST REALLY ADDING TO IT.

[02:25:01]

AND THAT WOULD BE THAT IS ON THE PROHIBITED LIST.

YEAH. MADAM CHAIR. YES. I MIGHT JUST ADDRESS SUPERVISOR COMPTON CONCERNS.

I THINK THAT FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT I HEAR FROM CONSTITUENTS VERY FREQUENTLY.

THEY HAVE A DESIRE TO SEE INCREASED ADDITIONS TO THE ORDINANCE.

I THINK THE, THE DRAFT THAT YOUR TEAM HAS COMPILED AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS VETTED IS CONSERVATIVE, BUT ALSO A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. MY COMMENT ON THIS IS THAT THE WORK IS NEVER DONE.

AND I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE THIS MOVE FORWARD NOW WITH THE DIRECTION TO CONTINUE TO CONSIDER THE VERY VALID CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP HERE TODAY.

YOU KNOW, AS THIS ORDINANCE EVOLVES INTO THE FUTURE.

ABSOLUTELY. COULD I HAVE JEREMY DI COME UP AND SPEAK? THANK YOU SO MUCH, SUSAN. GOOD MORNING. CHAIR MALLORY AND VICE CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS, JEREMY DYER, DIRECTOR FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. AND YOU PROBABLY SAW ME FIDGETING IN MY SEAT A LITTLE BIT.

I, I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS THAT MAYBE I CAN SHARE TO, TO KIND OF TO KIND OF ASSIST THE CONVERSATION A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU KNOW, THE THE PRESENTATION THAT WAS MADE TODAY BY STAFF.

YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT OF CHANGE THAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE, BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY THE ONLY BITE AT THE APPLE THAT THE BOARD HAS EITHER.

AS YOU KNOW. OF COURSE, WE'RE GOING THROUGH A FULL COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE OF OUR ZONING ORDINANCE.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE.

AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS AS REALLY A PRIORITY, AS SUSAN MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THE LAST COMPREHENSIVE OR MAJOR UPDATE TO THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE WAS IN 2006. TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED RADICALLY SINCE THEN.

SO WE'VE IDENTIFIED THIS AS SOMETHING THAT REALLY, REALLY NEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD AS A PRIORITY.

BUT THAT BEING SAID AS THINGS PROGRESS AS WE GO THROUGH OUR COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE, OTHER CHANGES CAN BE MADE ALONG THE WAY AS WELL.

AND SO THAT MAY HELP YOU KNOW, THAT MAY HELP TO ALLEVIATE SOME CONCERN IF THERE IS A DETERMINATION BY THE BOARD OR A DECISION, OR A DESIRE BY THE BOARD AT A LATER TIME TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, THOSE ADJUSTMENTS CAN BE MADE DURING THIS THREE YEAR PROCESS.

THE OTHER THING I COULD I COULD SPEAK TO IN TERMS OF OUR LAND USE ENFORCEMENT JUST A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS ON THAT.

WITH LAND USE, AS YOU KNOW, ALSO THE THE BOARD TENTATIVELY HAS A, HAS A BUDGET A TENTATIVE BUDGET ADOPTION HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WHICH INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL LAND USE STAFF MEMBER WHO WOULD ASSIST WITH THAT, THAT WORKLOAD AS THINGS PROGRESS.

HISTORICALLY, OUR DARK SKY COMPLAINTS ARE FAIRLY NOMINAL COMPARED TO THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND DURING SOME CASES, WE CAN ACTUALLY SEND SOMEONE OUT TO ADDRESS A DARK SKY COMPLAINT DURING THE DAYTIME JUST TO LOOK AT THE THE TYPE OF LIGHTING THAT'S ACTUALLY OUT THERE AND DETERMINE IF IT'S SHIELDED OR NOT SHIELDED. IN OTHER SITUATIONS, WE WILL SEND SOMEONE OUT AT NIGHT.

AND OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A COMPLAINT DRIVEN PROCESS.

SO WE INVESTIGATE THOSE COMPLAINTS AS WE RECEIVE THEM.

AND SO WHEN, WHEN WE RECEIVE A DARK SKY COMPLAINT THAT REQUIRES SOMEONE TO GO OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT AT NIGHT, THEN THEN WE CERTAINLY DO. SUPERVISOR JENKINS, YOU TOUCHED ON ONE OF THE POINTS I WAS GOING TO MAKE. IT'S COMPLAINT BASED ANYWAY, AND I JUST DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF COMPLAINTS COMING IN.

I LIVE IN A DARK SKY COMMUNITY THAT IS ACCREDITED WITH A DARK SKY COMMUNITY.

SOME OF THESE. AND YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS STRICT AS WHAT I'M USED TO IN AN ACCREDITED DARK SKY COMMUNITY.

AT LEAST BECAUSE I REMEMBER US HAVING SPECIFIC DATES THAT WE HAVE TO COMPLY AND THERE'S NO COMPLIANCE DATE WITHIN HERE.

AND MY FEELING IS WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.

IF WE DON'T START SETTING SOME KIND OF GUIDELINES, THE LIGHTING ISSUE IS JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

AND I THINK WITHOUT THAT DATE IN HERE, IT KIND OF HELPS THE FOLKS THAT ALREADY WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANT.

BUT MAYBE AS THEY REPLACE THOSE LIGHTS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT THAT'S CORRECT. AND AS AS WAS BROUGHT OUT ONCE A ONCE A DATE IS SET.

AND FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, THINGS NEED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE FOR ANY KIND OF NEW CONSTRUCTION OR NEW INSTALLATION.

[02:30:03]

HOWEVER THAT THAT THERE IS THAT NONCONFORMING IF ANYTHING IS EXISTING IN NON CONFORMANCE AT THAT IT BECOMES NONCONFORMING FROM THAT DAY FORWARD.

WHEN THOSE STRING LIGHTS BURN OUT, WHEN THOSE, THOSE LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS BURN OUT, THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH COMPLIANT LIGHTING BASED ON THAT NEW ORDINANCE.

THE LAST POINT THAT I COULD MAKE AS WELL TO SUPERVISOR CHECKS STATEMENT EARLIER TO IN TERMS OF EDUCATION AND CELEBRATING SOME OF THE SUCCESSES, TOO.

AND MR. NORTON SPOKE A LITTLE BIT AGO. REPRESENTING THE BIG THE BIG PARK DARK SKY ORGANIZATION.

AND THEY HAVE THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SUCCESS STORIES THAT THEY HAVE WORKING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK, WHERE THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH THOSE BUSINESSES TO HELP THEM TO BECOME COMPLIANT, AS COMPLIANT WITH DARK SKY ORDINANCES AS WELL.

SO THAT THAT IS A THAT IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT TO REMEMBER AS WELL.

YEAH. BUT JEREMY, ARE WE GOING TO GO INTO EVERY WALMART AND, AND HARBOR FREIGHT AND PUT A SIGN THAT SAYS THESE LIGHTS THEY'RE SELLING ARE NOT COMPLIANT IN YAVAPAI COUNTY? I MEAN, I BET THEY SOLD 1050 OF THOSE STRINGS TODAY, YOU KNOW? SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GET TO THAT, TO WHERE YOU TAKE THEM OUT OF THE STREAM.

AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADDRESS, YOU KNOW, SUPERVISOR KUKNYO AND I HAVE DIFFERENT WE HAVE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR DISTRICTS.

THIS WILL BE USED AGAINST OTHER NEIGHBORS IN MY DISTRICT.

I ALREADY DEAL WITH IT RIGHT NOW ON OTHER ISSUES.

AND THIS THIS WILL CREATE A PROBLEM FOR US. I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE EFFORT, BUT WITHOUT BACKUP OR ENFORCEMENT OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, I'M GOING TO GET COMPLAINTS ONE AGAINST THE OTHER, JUST LIKE WE DO OUT IN YARNELL ALL DAY LONG.

AND THAT'S GOING TO CREATE AN ISSUE. AND YOU, YOU'RE YOU'RE LAUGHING, YOU UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHERE I AM. SO I'M SMILING WITH YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. THE IT IS THAT THAT'S INHERENT WITH THE THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS IN EVERY ASPECT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT, UNFORTUNATELY. WELL, I'M SORRY, MADAM. OH, OKAY.

WELL, WE. OKAY, I'LL GO AHEAD AND HEAR SOME MORE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE ON THIS AND START MOVING THIS FORWARD.

I CAN BE VERY BRIEF. JUST TO SUPERVISOR KUKNYO POINT YOU KNOW, IT'S DIFFICULT.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE CAN BUY THEIR LIGHTING FROM AMAZON AND THINGS LIKE THAT. DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT PLACES, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING COUNTRIES HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS AS WELL.

AND SO THAT'S A THAT'S A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE.

THAT'S GOING TO BE INHERENT WITH ANY DARK SKY ORDINANCE.

OKAY. THANK YOU JEREMY. AND WE DO HAVE SOMEONE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT IN REGARDS TO THIS ITEM.

NATE BAILEY NO OKAY. I APOLOGIZE. NO LONGER THERE.

YEAH. HE'S ON A DIFFERENT ITEM, AREN'T YOU? YES, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. NO WORRIES. I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY.

APOLOGIZE, MADAM CHAIR. MAYBE JUST MAKE ONE OTHER QUICK COMMENT.

I THINK THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW AND THE SPIRIT OF OUR ENFORCEMENT REALLY MATTERS ON THIS TOPIC AND WHAT I'M HEARING.

WHAT I JUST HEARD FROM JEREMY DI AND OTHERS IS THAT WHEN ORDINANCES CHANGE, THAT IT'S OUR FIRST APPROACH IS EDUCATION.

WE'RE NOT GOING OUT THERE TO WRITE TICKETS OR COLLECT FEES.

YOU KNOW, IT'S TRULY A SPIRIT OF HELPING THE COMMUNITY COME ALONG TOWARDS A SHARED VISION IN A WAY THAT'S NOT WHOLLY PUNISHING. SO I AGREE, AND WE DO HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE, JUST LIKE SUPERVISOR JENKINS SAID.

SO I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEM NUMBER TWO.

I WILL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

CAN YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE? SUPERVISOR CHECK.

YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. NO. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

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

ITEM IS APPROVED 4 TO 1. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. AND IS THAT WITH THE AS PRESENTED TODAY? WITH THE FULL SHIELDING FOR THE THE WAY YOU PRESENTED IT? YES. AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD AS WE WORK THROUGH ALL THE ORDINANCES.

THE ORDINANCES ARE, WHAT, 50 YEARS OLD? WE GOT A LOT OF WORK.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[3. Public Works - Approve Resolution No. 2154 regarding the Abandonment of a portion of the right-of-way for East Louise Drive in the Rimrock Acres II subdivision. (District 2 - Supervisor Jenkins)]

PUBLIC WORKS APPROVED. RESOLUTION NUMBER 2154 REGARDING THE ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE EAST LOUISE DRIVE IN RIMROCK ACRES SUBDIVISION. THIS IS IN DISTRICT TWO.

SUPERVISOR JENKINS. HI, ROGER. GOOD MORNING. CHAIR MALLORY VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ROGER MCCORMICK, YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

TODAY BEFORE YOU, WE HAVE A HEARING IN RELATION TO ABANDONMENT OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THIS WOULD BE APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2154 REGARDING THE ABANDONMENT OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST LOUISE DRIVE IN

[02:35:02]

THE RIMROCK ACRES TO SUBDIVISION. AND AS STATED, THIS IS IN DISTRICT TWO, SUPERVISOR JENKINS DISTRICT.

SO THAT YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE. THERE IS A COUPLE OF WAYS IN WHICH THE COUNTY DOES RECEIVE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, AND BASED ON HOW WE RECEIVE THAT, WE EITHER ABANDON OR WE EXTINGUISH THE RIGHT OF WAY.

IN THIS CASE, THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST LOUISE DRIVE WAS ACQUIRED BY DEDICATION TO THE PUBLIC ON THE SUBDIVISION PLAT FOR RIMROCK ACRES, AND MUST BE DISPOSED OF BY ABANDONMENT, WHICH REQUIRES COMPENSATION TO THE COUNTY.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION NUMBER 2046 AND RS 2860 701 RR, WB RANCH LLC HAS SUBMITTED A PETITION FOR THE ABANDONMENT OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR EAST WEST DRIVE IN THIS RIMROCK ACRES TWO SUBDIVISION.

THE REASON FOR THE PETITION IS TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE PETITIONER'S ABUTTING PARCEL.

PARCEL, WHICH IS 405 15031. SO THE STATUTE DOES REQUIRE THAT THE PETITIONER OR THE APPLICANT PAY WHAT THE BOARD DEEMS COMMENSURATE FOR THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S BEING ABANDONED. THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT VALUES THE ABANDONMENT AT $7,667.
