AWARENESS MONTH AND YAVAPAI COUNTY. 
          GOOD MORNING TYLER. GOOD MORNING, CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR,
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          WHEREAS BREAST CANCER IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER RELATED DEATHS AMONG AMERICAN
WOMEN. 
          AND WHEREAS NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH IS OCTOBER AND IS DEDICATED TO
INCREASING PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. AND WHEREAS, EARLY DETECTION THROUGH PATIENT AWARENESS AND
ROUTINE MAMMOGRAM SCREENINGS ALLOWS PATIENTS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT TOOL TO IDENTIFY TREATMENT OPTIONS AND INCREASE LONG TERM SURVIVAL RATES. 
          AND WHEREAS THE THREE PRONGED SCREENING APPROACH ASSISTS IN EARLY DETECTION,
YEARLY CLINICAL EXAMS, MONTHLY SELF-EXAMS AND ROUTINE MAMMOGRAMS. AND WHEREAS,
THE WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK PROGRAM IS AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES, AS IT IS OFTEN THE ONLY OPTION FOR WOMEN TO ACCESS VITAL SCREENING SERVICES. 
          AND WHEREAS, THROUGH THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER OF YAVAPAI,
THE WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK PROGRAM PROVIDES LOW OR NO COST BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS FOR ELIGIBLE WOMEN WHO ARE UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED ON A LIMITED INCOME. 
          NOW, THEREFORE, THE YAVAPAI COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DOES HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF
OCTOBER 2025 AS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH IN YAVAPAI COUNTY. 
          IN WITNESS THEREOF, THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, ON BEHALF OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS, SETS HER HAND AND CAUSES THE SEAL OF THE COUNTY OF YAVAPAI,
ARIZONA TO BE AFFIXED ON THE FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER, 2025. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TYLER. I'M SURE WE HAVE SOMEONE TO SPEAK TO THIS. 
          WE DO WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO LESLIE HORTON, OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES DIRECTOR. 
          GOOD MORNING LESLIE. THANK YOU, TYLER. GOOD MORNING,
CHAIR MALLORY AND VICE CHAIR AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. 
          I'M LESLIE HORTON, YOUR COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES DIRECTOR,
AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR DRAWING ATTENTION TO OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. 
          I'M JOINED HERE BY OUR AMAZING TEAM OF, WELL,
WOMEN HEALTH CHECK STAFF. 
          THEY ARE LED BY LOIS [INAUDIBLE]. SHE'S BEEN WITH THE PROGRAM FOR A VERY LONG TIME. 
          AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE REALLY, IN OUR COUNTY WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS IS THAT
WE'VE SEEN NOT ONLY A MASSIVE DROP OFF IN WOMEN RECEIVING AND GOING OUT AND SEEKING MAMMOGRAMS AND ROUTINE SCREENINGS. 
          BUT WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF BREAST CANCER IN ARIZONA. 
          AND SO I BROUGHT SOME STATS FOR US. AND JUST TO BRING AWARENESS TO THE ISSUE,
BECAUSE I THINK MEN, WOMEN ALL OF US HAVE WOMEN IN OUR LIVES THAT NEED TO RECEIVE SCREENING. 
          AND MEN CAN GET BREAST CANCER TOO. BUT OF ALL CANCERS,
BREAST CANCER IS THE FOURTH LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER DEATHS IN ARIZONA. 
          YAVAPAI COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF FEMALE BREAST CANCER IN ARIZONA. 
          THE WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK PROGRAM, WHICH WE REPRESENT HERE TODAY PROVIDES BREAST AND
CERVICAL CANCER SCREENINGS AND DIAGNOSTICS FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED WOMEN AND NAVIGATION SERVICES FOR INSURED WOMEN. SO WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHETHER THEY HAVE
INSURANCE OR NOT, THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE MAMMOGRAMS. AND THEN IF THEY GET SCREENED AND END UP FINDING
OUT THEY DO HAVE CANCER WE HELP TO NAVIGATE THE SYSTEMS FOR THEM AND TRY TO GET THEM INTO PROPER CARE AND TREATMENT. 
          SO IN THE 24-25 PROGRAM YEAR, THERE WERE 483 APPOINTMENTS WITH WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK FOR
BREAST CANCERS DIAGNOSED AND 
          [00:05:08]
WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK PROVIDED 243 MAMMOGRAM SCREENINGS,
90 DIAGNOSTIC SCREENINGS, ULTRASOUNDS WE HAD 135, 13 BIOPSIES AND 2 MRIS. ONE THING I NOTICED WHEN I BECAME INVOLVED MORE IN THE CLINIC AND
THE WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK PROGRAM IS BACK IN 2019, WE HAD OVER 1100 WOMEN SCREENED THROUGH THE WELL-WOMAN
HEALTH CHECK PROGRAM, AND THIS YEAR WE HAD ONLY 483. AND THAT'S NOT FOR A LACK OF TRYING. 
          WE REACH OUT, WE TRY TO FIND THESE WOMEN, WE TRY TO MAKE SURE WOMEN ARE GETTING SCREENED. 
          BUT WE'VE SEEN A MASSIVE DROP OFF IN WOMEN SEEKING OUT AND RECEIVING THOSE SCREENINGS. 
          AND SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO TALK TO THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIVES,
MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE SCREENED EARLY. 
          BREAST CANCER CAN BE TREATED VERY WELL IF CAUGHT EARLY. 
          THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS COME IN WHEN SOMEONE WAITS UNTIL THEY'RE ACTUALLY SICK OR HAVE
EXTREME SYMPTOMS BY THE TIME THEY GO AND SEEK OUT THAT DIAGNOSTIC WORK. 
          AND SO WE DO HAVE A WOMAN WITH US WHO WORKS FOR OUR WELL-WOMAN HEALTH CHECK. 
          HER NAME IS CHRISTINE KRAMER, AND SHE HAS LIVED EXPERIENCE. 
          AND I'D LIKE HER TO SAY A FEW WORDS TO YOU. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. WELCOME. GOOD MORNING, CHAIRWOMAN MALLORY AND COUNTY SUPERVISORS. 
          MY NAME IS CHRISTINE KRAMER. I'M A PATIENT CARE COORDINATOR FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH
CENTER OF YAVAPAI IN COTTONWOOD ALSO OVER HERE. 
          JUST HERE TO SHARE MY STORY TODAY. I'M HERE TODAY TO SHARE MY STORY. 
          I GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL. SORRY. EVERY TIME. AND IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. 
          I'M FINE. HERE WE GO. WHEN I WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED,
IT WAS LIKE BEING IN A FOG. 
          MY CANCER WAS GROWING AT A VERY RAPID RATE. I DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE. 
          I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING. IN TWO WEEKS TIME, MY TUMOR GREW FROM THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL TO
THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL. 
          I HAD A LUMPECTOMY WITH SOME ADVANCEMENT WITH IN MY LYMPH NODES. 
          I WENT THROUGH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF CHEMO AND RADIATION. 
          NO HISTORY OF CANCER IN MY FAMILY AT THE TIME I WAS CONSIDERED TOO YOUNG TO HAVE IT. 
          BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A ROUGH TIME. I WENT THROUGH ALL MY TREATMENTS. 
          I WAS READY TO BE SICK. I ENDED UP NOT GETTING SICK AT ALL. 
          I WORKED, I DID ALL MY TREATMENTS. I THINK I WAS VERY FORTUNATE. 
          SO NOW I SHARE MY STORY IN HOPES THAT PEOPLE WILL GO AND GET TESTED. 
          EARLY DETECTION. BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. 
          I DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE AT THE TIME, SO MY BIGGEST STRESS WAS,
HOW WAS I GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS? I'D BEEN TOLD ABOUT A GRANT THAT YAVAPAI COUNTY THROUGH ANOTHER FRIEND THAT HAD BREAST
CANCER. 
          SHE'S STILL GOOD TO US. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER,
THE WELL, WOMEN'S HEALTH. 
          SORRY. THROUGH THEIR FUNDING, I WAS ABLE TO GET ALL MY TREATMENT TAKEN CARE OF. 
          AND I'M A 13 YEAR SURVIVOR. SO. THANK YOU. THIS PROGRAM IS VERY IMPORTANT.

REGARDING THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE OPIOID DASHBOARD. GOOD MORNING. 
          GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS. IT'S SO IMPORTANT JAMES. 
          THANK YOU. THANKS FOR THE INVITE. ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND I'M SURE WE'LL GET THE LIGHTS EVENTUALLY. 
          THANK YOU JAMIE. GOOD MORNING GUYS. SO I'M JAMES TOBIN. 
          I WORK FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WORK FOR LESLIE,
AND MY SECTION IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS, AND I'VE BEEN IN THAT POSITION FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. 
          ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WE RECOGNIZED A NEED TO DO MORE OUTREACH TO PROMOTE TO THE PUBLIC THE
SERVICES WE PROVIDE THE PROJECTS WE'RE WORKING ON AND ALSO TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY A PART OF OUR MISSION IS TO MANAGE THE OPIOID
LITIGATION FUNDS. 
          AND SO WE WANT TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW HOW THOSE FUNDS ARE BEING SPENT AND WHAT KIND OF
GOOD WORK IS BEING DONE ON BEHALF OF THAT MONEY. 
          SO FOR THE WE FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WE'VE GOT IT UP AND
RUNNING. 
          IT WENT LIVE JULY 15TH, AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT IN TEN WEEKS OR SO WE'RE GETTING
ABOUT 150 SITE VISITS PER WEEK. AND I WAS INTERESTED TO SEE THAT WE'RE GETTING SITE. 
          WE'VE HAD SITE VISITS FROM EVERY COUNTY IN ARIZONA,
NOT JUST YAVAPAI, EVEN THOUGH OUR FOCUS IS YAVAPAI COUNTY, SO I JUST WANT TO REAL QUICKLY RUN YOU THROUGH THIS AND DEMO THIS FOR YOU GUYS. 
          AND I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. 
          SO YOU SEE, AT THE TOP THERE, WE HAVE A TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE QUIZ. 
          JUST BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MENTAL HEALTH. IF YOU WANTED TO JUMP IN THERE
AND TAKE THE QUIZ. 
          I DID IT YESTERDAY. I GOT 100%, SO THAT WAS COOL. 
          GOOD JOB. THANK YOU. IN OUR OPIOID AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SECTION,
YOU CAN SEE THESE DROP DOWNS HERE. 
          SO IF YOU WANTED TO SEE OKAY, SO WHAT ARE WHAT'S THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 
          [00:20:01]
WHAT DOES YAVAPAI COUNTY DOING ABOUT GETTING NALOXONE OUT TO PEOPLE. 
          WE'VE GOT THIS INFORMATION ON HERE ABOUT OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT LEAVE BEHIND PROGRAM
COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTION EFFORTS. 
          AND THEN YOU CAN SEE HERE'S THE NUMBERS RECENTLY UPDATED FOR ALL THE OUTREACH EFFORTS
WE'VE DONE TO GET NARCAN OUT INTO THE HANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC. 
          LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE. AND I MENTIONED THAT THE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT. 
          RIGHT. SO WE DO GRANTS EVERY YEAR FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO REPURPOSE
THAT OPIOID LITIGATION MONEY, PUT IT TO GOOD WORK AND GOOD USE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO IF YOU WANTED TO SEE, FOR EXAMPLE SO WHAT DID MATFORCE DO WITH THAT MONEY THAT WE GAVE
THEM OR THEY GOT FROM THIS? SO YOU CAN LOOK ON HERE AND HERE'S THEY USE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A HEALTH EDUCATOR WHO HAD
THIS KIND OF IMPACT WITH THIS MUCH OUTREACH IN THE SCHOOLS IN YAVAPAI COUNTY FOR THE YEAR. SO, JUST, AGAIN, WANTING TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY,
LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          MENTAL HEALTH SECTION. WE OFFER CLASSES, MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID AND BUILDING RESILIENCY,
SUICIDE PREVENTION AND TOOLS FOR MENTAL HEALTH. THE CONNECTION CENTER. AND I KIND OF THINK OF THIS WEBSITE AS LIKE A VIRTUAL
CONNECTION CENTER, BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO NOT JUST LET THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT WHAT'S OUT THERE AND WHAT
RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE, BUT ALSO GET SERVICE PROVIDERS CONNECTED UP WITH EACH OTHER SO THAT IT BECOMES A FORCE
MULTIPLIER. 
          THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR US AT THE CONNECTION CENTER. 
          SO THAT'S ANOTHER GOAL FOR THIS WEBSITE HERE. SO THERE'S A SECTION HERE ON OUR CONNECTION
CENTER A TREATMENT LOCATOR. 
          SO IF YOU WERE LOOKING AND CURIOUS ABOUT SUBSTANCE ABUSE RESOURCES WHAT'S OUT THERE FOR ME
AND YAVAPAI COUNTY, YOU CAN GO ON HERE. AND IT'S BROKEN DOWN BY DISTRICT ROUGHLY OR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF THE
COUNTY. 
          AND ALL OF THESE WILL TAKE YOU TO A THE WEBSITE FOR THESE INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS. 
          IF YOU WERE LOOKING TO FIND SOME RESOURCES FOR YOURSELF OR FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, THERE'S ALSO MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND SUICIDE PREVENTION RESOURCES. 
          AND THEN THE LAST THING, AND THIS IS PROBABLY OUR MOST POPULAR PAGE,
IS THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS. 
          SO WE KEEP THIS UPDATED. AND HERE'S WHAT'S COMING UP. 
          VERY BUSY TIME SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER WITH COMMUNITY EVENTS AND OTHER OUTREACH
EFFORTS. 
          SO HERE'S THE STUFF THAT'S COMING UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          AND AGAIN, YOU CAN CLICK ON THESE TABS AND IT'LL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THE WEBSITE FOR EACH OF
THESE EVENTS. 
          AND YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AND HOW TO GO AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THIS THING UPDATED FREQUENTLY. 
          VERY IMPORTANT. NOT THAT IT BECOMES JUST A STATIC THING THAT'S THERE. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO UPDATE THE GRAPHICS, OF COURSE,
UPDATE THE QUIZ QUESTIONS AND THE EVENT CALENDAR. 
          AND AS NEW ORGANIZATIONS COME ONLINE, WE'LL ADD THEM TO THE MIX. 
          ANY QUESTIONS. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'LL REACH OUT TO MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS. 
          GO AHEAD. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YEAH, JUST A QUESTION. 
          WHEN YOU HAD UP THERE THE PROVIDERS FOR RECOVERY. 
          I KNOW WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH PROVIDERS OF RECOVERY THAT WEREN'T VERY GOOD. 
          THEY WERE REALLY ALMOST SCAMS. WHAT DO WE DO TO VET THE PEOPLE THAT WE PROMOTE ON OUR
WEBSITE? WE HAVE WE DO VET THEM. WE'VE TAKEN THREE OF THEM DOWN SINCE WE STARTED. 
          JUST BECAUSE NOT TO GO INTO A LOT OF DETAIL,
BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, IT DIDN'T PASS MUSTER. 
          AND SO WE'RE AWARE OF THAT AND. RIGHT, WE DON'T WE'RE NOT GOING TO PROMOTE SOME FLY BY
NIGHT BUSINESS THAT'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR RECOVERY OPTIONS. BECAUSE THERE DEFINITELY ARE PEOPLE THAT DO IT THE RIGHT WAY AND PEOPLE THAT DO
IT THE WRONG WAY. SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR WE'RE DOING THAT. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I'LL MENTION BY NAME. STEPS TO RECOVERY DOWN IN COTTONWOOD. DAMIAN,
HAS AN AWESOME PROGRAM, AND HE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO DO EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK. 
          AND THAT FRUSTRATES HIM SOMETIMES BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE THAT MAYBE
ARE NOT DOING THINGS BY THE BOOK, AND HE'S TRYING TO PLAY BY THE RULES, BUT WE'VE BEEN HAPPY TO GIVE HIM A GRANT FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
OFFER THESE OPIOID FUNDS. 
          THANKS. ANYONE ELSE? NO. WELL, I APPRECIATE THIS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, MANY OF US HAVE NEWSLETTERS THAT GO OUT TO OUR DISTRICTS. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN SHARE. MANY OF US DO TOWN HALLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          IF WE THINK MAYBE YOU COULD SHOW UP AT THAT,
JAMES, AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION. 
          THE ONE THING I DID SEE UP THERE WAS THE SUICIDE PREVENTION. 
          AND WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT OVER IN OUR COTTONWOOD MEETING,
AND IT WAS JUST IT WAS VERY ALARMING AND 
          [00:25:03]
REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. AND SO THERE'S A LOT HERE THAT WE CAN DO AS A COMMUNITY. 
          BECAUSE I ALWAYS SAY WE ARE A COMMUNITY FAMILY,
AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE AND KEEP OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHY, HEALTHY AND HELP PEOPLE IF WE CAN, OR GIVE THEM THAT DIRECTION. 
          100%, I AGREE. YEAH. TONIGHT IS A TAKE BACK THE NIGHT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS EVENT IN
PRESCOTT VALLEY. 
          IT'S OUR 14TH ANNUAL OCTOBER 11TH IS THE SUICIDE OUT OF THE DARKNESS SUICIDE AWARENESS
EVENT, GRANITE CREEK PARK. YEAH. AND ONE OF MY OTHER ROLES,
I SIT ON THE SUICIDE REVIEW BOARD. LOOK AT TRYING TO LOOK AT CASES AND SEE IF THERE ARE GAPS IN THE SYSTEM,
ISSUES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. 
          AND VERY SAD. WE HAD IT YESTERDAY AND IT WAS CASE AFTER CASE AFTER CASE WHERE PEOPLE ARE
JUST FEELING HOPELESS AND YOUNG PEOPLE, OLD PEOPLE, AND A THEME I KEPT HEARING FROM THE SURVIVORS THAT WERE INTERVIEWED WAS HAD NO
IDEA, HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS COMING. SO I THINK WE ALL NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER A LITTLE
BIT. 
          AND TIMES ARE TOUGH AND THERE'S A LOT OF STRESS OUT THERE AND ANXIETY. 
          SO EVEN MORE PURPOSE OF RAISING AWARENESS FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. 
          RIGHT? AND IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US. I MEAN, ALL OF US. 
          THERE'S NOT ANYBODY THAT ISN'T TOUCHED BY THIS. 
          SO ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU AGAIN. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. 
          YEAH. IF IT'S OKAY, I'LL PASS THESE OUT. I'LL BRING JUST IT'S A HALF SHEET WITH THE QR
CODE AND THE LINK TO THE WEBSITE. 
          ABSOLUTELY. GREAT. THANK YOU, JAMES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          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, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM NOS. 11, 17, AND 24.]
THESE ARE ROUTINE ITEMS THAT MAY ALL BE APPROVED BY ONE MOTION AT THIS TIME. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT VICE CHAIR COMPTON WILL PULL ITEM NUMBER 11 AND NUMBER 24 AND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO WILL BE PULLING ITEM NUMBER 17. 
          SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION -11, 24, 17. SO MOVED. 
          SECOND. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          WE'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. I DID THAT RIGHT. SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. 
          CONSENT ITEMS 1 THROUGH 25 HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED,
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITEM 11, 17, AND 24. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO THERE'S A CIRCUMSTANCE HERE WHERE WE ARE GOING
TO NEED TO GO A LITTLE OUT OF ORDER. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO OVER TO VICE CHAIR COMPTON WITH,
I BELIEVE, ITEM 24 OR. 
          [24.  School Superintendent - Approve the assignment of special duties and increased compensation in the amount of $7,242.86 for the leadership of Adult Jail Education Program at the Prescott Lakes Parkway School, located in the Yavapai County Juvenile Detention Center. ]
24. YES. YES. OKAY. WE'LL GO AHEAD, SIR. SUPERINTENDENT KING,
COULD YOU COME? WHENEVER THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA WITH YOUR NAME ON IT,
I ALWAYS LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT IT AND GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH SUPERVISOR. SO, CHAIRWOMAN. RIGHT. 
          NO WORRIES. VICE CHAIR AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. 
          I'M TRYING TO GET DOWN THAT PROTOCOL. I DO APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU PULLED THAT ITEM. 
          SO WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. AND SO HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT THE COUNTY SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT HAS SHARED AUTHORITY WITH THE COUNTY SHERIFF FOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AT THE COUNTY JAIL? YOU'RE A STEP AHEAD OF ME UP UNTIL ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. 
          SO AS I'M LEARNING THIS JOB, I SAID, OH, WELL,
THAT'S REAL INTERESTING. 
          AND SOME PEOPLE BROUGHT THIS INFORMATION TO ME. 
          AND SO I STARTED INQUIRING, WHAT ARE WE DOING DOWN THERE FOR SERVICES FOR ADULTS WITHIN
THE ADULT SYSTEM AT THE COUNTY JAIL. 
          AND I GOT TO MEET A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE. AND JAMES TOBIN,
I JUST HAVE TO GIVE A RECOGNITION FOR BECAUSE HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE I SPOKE TO WITH THIS TRANSITION CENTER. AND ALSO, MR. PRIETO,
I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY, BUT HE DID AN INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION ON RECIDIVISM BEFORE YOU GUYS ABOUT TWO MONTHS OR SO
AGO, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS EXTREMELY PROFOUND. AND I FOLLOWED UP WITH HIM AND TALKED TO HIM
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND WHY WE'RE SEEING. AND WHAT I TOLD HIM IS MY JOB IS TO PUT HIM OUT OF BUSINESS. RIGHT. WE WANT TO SEE AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EDUCATION AND
PROVIDING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR NOT JUST OUR CHILDREN, BUT FOR THE ADULTS IS THE WAY FORWARD TO HELP PREVENT THE RECIDIVISM. 
          SO AS WE'RE LEARNING DIFFERENT THINGS, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING. AND I
MET WITH THE SHERIFF, AND I ALSO HAVE TO GIVE HIM A HUGE ROUND OF GRATITUDE BECAUSE WE SAT IN HIS OFFICE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND WE TALKED ABOUT WHO DOES WHAT WITH THE JAIL AND THE
EDUCATION SERVICES IN THE JAIL. 
          AND HE SAID, WELL, STEVE, HE SAYS YOU GOT IT. 
          DO WITH IT KIND OF WHAT YOU WILL, AS LONG AS YOU CAN PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES. SO SINCE THEN
IN FINDING OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT INFORMATION OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN THE JAIL TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES AND WHAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING IN THE JAIL TO PROVIDE THOSE
SERVICES, WE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY. AND I SAY WE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT ME, 
          [00:30:05]
THIS IS THIS IS MY OFFICE AND THE PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH,
AND ESPECIALLY MARVIN MCNEESE AND SHARI STERLING, WHO POINTED OUT THE FACT THAT, HEY, WE HAVE A REAL OPPORTUNITY HERE TO PROVIDE THESE
SERVICES THROUGH THIS OFFICE. 
          SO MARVIN MCNEESE AND THIS IS THE AGENDA ITEM I'M ASKING FOR HER. 
          AND THIS IS A BUDGET NEUTRAL ITEM. SO I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. BUT I'D LIKE TO CREATE HER POSITION TO OVERSEE THE ADULT EDUCATION POSITION FOR THE ADULT JAIL, SINCE SHE HAS PROBABLY THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN THIS COUNTY
FOR JUVENILE DETENTION. 
          WELL, SHE DOES HAVE THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE IN THIS COUNTY OVER JUVENILE DETENTION
SERVICES AND EDUCATION SERVICES. AND SINCE THAT TIME, SHE'S LOOKING AT HOW MANY WE HAVE COMING IN THE REFERRAL PROCESS, THE SCREENING PROCESS. 
          YOU KNOW, I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BEING SENT TO JAIL AT THE
COUNTY JAIL THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR A GED. 
          AND SINCE THEN, WE HAVE GOT THE AUTHORIZATION TO HAVE GED SERVICES AT THE JAIL AND PROVIDE
THE ACTUAL TESTING AT THE JAIL SO THEY CAN ALSO LEAVE. 
          BUT ONE OF THE DREAMS THAT I HAVE IS IN WORKING WITH MR. TOBIN AND ALSO MISS THAYER, WHO'S ALSO CREATING A TRANSITION CENTER OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE HILL AND THE CAMP VERDE JAIL TO PROVIDE THOSE ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND OUTREACH FOR THESE INMATES THAT ARE GETTING OUT BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I THINK EDUCATION SHOULD BE A HUGE PIECE OF THAT IF WE CAN'T HELP THEM GET THEIR GEDS
AND EDUCATION SERVICES THERE, AT LEAST WE CAN HAVE THE START OF IT TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE VISION AND HOPE FOR THEMSELVES,
TO SEE THAT THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL AND TO CONTINUE THOSE SERVICES ON THE OUTSIDE. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS ITEM IS ABOUT. I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS. 
          IT WAS THERE'S ALL SORTS OF SURPRISES THAT COME INTO THIS POSITION,
BUT THIS IS A WONDERFUL SURPRISE AND I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE FORWARD WITH THAT DIRECTION. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I'M STANDING BEFORE YOU FOR. WELL,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. I DIDN'T KNOW IT EITHER. AND THAT'S REALLY WHY I WANTED TO HAVE YOU SPEAK. AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS,
BUT MISS CHECK DID. 
          YEAH. I SAW HER HAND GO UP. YEP, YEP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING. AND I THINK IT'S RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION THAT,
YOU KNOW, THE BEST WAY TO CREATE A PATH FORWARD IS TO HAVE HOPE. 
          AND EDUCATION CREATES THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. SO THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. MY PLEASURE. AND I JUST VISITED A PRISON IN SCOTLAND. 
          AND IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THAT THEY ACTUALLY TRIED TO REHABILITATE PEOPLE,
AND THEY WOULD TEACH THEM A TRADE WHEN THEY WERE IN THERE. 
          AND THEY FOUND THAT RECIDIVISM WENT DOWN 40% BY DOING IT THIS WAY. 
          SO THAT KIND OF STUFF WORKS. IT'D BE NICE TO TACK IN WITH CTEC. 
          100%. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GOING, SUPERVISOR. 
          AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE SKILLS AND THERE ARE ELIGIBILITIES,
YOU LOOK AT WHAT YAVAPAI COLLEGE HAS DONE, IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN UP TO CTEC HERE ON THIS SIDE OR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL, UNBELIEVABLE THINGS. 
          AND THOSE SKILLED TRADES ARE THERE. AND YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE THAT LEARN A TRADE AND HAVE A WAY TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND ARE WORKING, ARE FAR LESS LIKELY TO USE SUBSTANCES AND EVENTUALLY COMMIT CRIMES. 
          AND SOME OF THOSE ARE QUICK. I MEAN, YOU CAN LEARN THAT TRADE IN 8 TO 16 WEEKS AND BE
MAKING BANK. 
          YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEY THAN I CAN IN 8 TO 10 WEEKS. 
          I'M CONSIDERING IT MYSELF AFTER THIS CAREER,
PERHAPS. I'M NOT SURE. 
          OKAY. I MOVE TO APPROVE CONSENT. ITEM NUMBER 24. 
          SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          CLERK OF THE BOARD. WILL YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE,
PLEASE? SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. 
          SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. 
          CHAIR MALLORY. YES. CONSENT ITEM NUMBER FOUR. 
          NUMBER 24 IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. ALRIGHT. WELL,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU SUPERINTENDENT. 
          OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GO BACK TO YOU. 
          [11.  Facilities - Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with M. Arthur Gensler Jr. & Associated, Inc. dba Gensler, in the amount of $2,000.00 for the Rural Services Master Plan. YC Contract No. 2025-013A1]
VICE CHAIR COMPTON. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE NUMBER 11. 
          YES. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY, MR. BRENNAN, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY TO SPEAK TO? ITEM 11. 
          THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING,
CHAIR MALLORY, VICE CHAIR COMPTON, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT OUR AGENDA ITEM. 
          I MIGHT JUST NOTE THAT THEY ARE INTERRELATED TO ITEM NUMBER 10 AND 14. 
          AS THE IGA BUILDS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE LIBRARY DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY AS A GENERAL
FUND. 
          SO THIS ITEM HERE IS A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL $2,000 TO COVER TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR
GENSLER. 
          IT'S NOT ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR THE CONTRACT FOR THE SERVICES ITSELF. 
          IT'S REALLY JUST TO COVER THE TRAVEL EXPENSES. 
          WE HAD ORIGINALLY SCOPED A LOT OF VIRTUAL MEETINGS. 
          BUT WE HAD HEARD THAT THERE IS A LOT OF VALUE IN SEEING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE IN
IN-PERSON. 
          AND SO WE TRY TO DO MORE IN-PERSON MEETINGS THAN WE HAD ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. 
          AND INCLUDING THIS MEETING SO GENSLER IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY TO DO A PERSONAL
PRESENTATION WHICH I BELIEVE WAS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED DURING OUR BUDGET HEARINGS. 
          THE COST OF THEIR TRIP FOR THIS ONE ALONE IS ABOUT $2,500. 
          AND IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM, I AGREED TO CHASE $2,000 WITH THE BOARD'S GRACE AND
APPROVAL HERE TODAY. 
          AND GENSLER WILL ACTUALLY BE CONSUMING EATING. 
          THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE $2,500 COST THAT THEY'RE INCURRING
TO ACTUALLY BE HERE TODAY, AND THE $2,000 CHANGE ORDER THAT I'M REQUESTING. 
          WELL, I WAS JUST CONCERNED, AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHERE THE EXTRA $2,000 WAS COMING
FROM. 
          [00:35:01]
EVEN THOUGH IT'S JUST $2,000, IT IS THE PEOPLE'S MONEY,
AND THEY'RE A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY, AND THEY BUDGETED $220,000 FOR THIS STUDY. 
          AND I JUST FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THERE,
AND I FEEL IT PROBABLY WAS. 
          AND THIS ISN'T THE HARD COSTS ARE ABSORBING CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTRACT VERSUS
WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          AND IT JUST CONCERNED ME. AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANY OF MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS HAD QUESTIONS
ABOUT IT, BUT I DID, AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLANATION. BUT I JUST HAD CONCERNS ABOUT IT. 
          VALID AND WORTHWHILE CONCERNS. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. MY INTENT IS TO
ACTUALLY PAY FOR THIS DIFFERENCE OUT OF MY EXISTING BUDGET, SO I WOULDN'T BE REQUESTING ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING. OKAY. SO MY PORTION WOULD COME OUT OF MINE AND I HAVE HAD
CONVERSATIONS WITH COREY CHRISTIANS THE DIRECTOR OF THE LIBRARY DISTRICT, AND HE'S ABLE TO ABSORB THIS AS WELL WITH NO ADDITIONAL REQUESTS. 
          SO IT'S NOT JUST US, IT'S THE LIBRARY DISTRICT AS WELL. YES. 
          AS I NOTED, BECAUSE OF THE IGA, IT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT A 65,
45% SPLIT OR 35% SPLIT BETWEEN THE GENERAL FUND AND THE LIBRARY DISTRICT. 
          THE LIBRARY DISTRICT ACTUALLY PAYS 65% OF IT,
AND WE'RE PAYING 35% OF IT. 
          VERY WELL. MAY I ASK A QUESTION? SO JUST TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT BETTER,
THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT DID NOT INCLUDE AN IN-PERSON PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD. 
          AT THE FINAL, WE WERE CONTEMPLATING DOING A VIRTUAL KIND OF LIKE WE'VE DONE WITH STIFLE ON
SOME OF THE FINANCIAL PRESENTATIONS AND WHATNOT. 
          BUT I REMEMBER CHAIR MALLORY HAD SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED AN IN-PERSON,
WHICH I VALUE, TOO. 
          AND WE STARTED LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENTS. 
          AND GENSLER WAS WONDERFUL IN COVERING THE ADDITIONAL MAN HOURS WITHIN THEIR EXISTING
CONTRACT. 
          THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR MAN HOURS. 
          IT'S REALLY TO PAY FOR THE THIRD PARTY COSTS,
IF YOU WILL. 
          THE FLIGHTS THE TRAVEL COSTS, THE RENTAL CARS,
THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT THEY'RE UNABLE TO CONTROL PER SE COULD ABSORB, WHICH THEY ARE DOING ABSORBING A CERTAIN PORTION OF THAT. 
          MADAM CHAIR. YES. I TRUST YOU AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD THAT YOU VETTED THIS EXPENSE AND YOU
FEEL IT'S WORTHWHILE. 
          WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS WITH THE STUDY GOING FORWARD,
BECAUSE I HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH WHAT HOW IT WAS EXECUTED. 
          BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. CERTAINLY. OKAY. 
          WELL, I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU. 
          WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE STATE OF THE COUNTY. 
          SO WE'RE PRACTICING THAT AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND SO MAYBE IN THE FUTURE THOUGH, I WOULD SAY THAT NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED. 
          WE'LL JUST MAKE SURE TO COVER THIS A LITTLE BETTER,
KNOWING THESE DIFFERENCES OF COST AND WHAT HAVE YOU. 
          BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IN PERSON IS DEFINITELY VALUABLE. 
          AND WHEN YOU TALK TO EACH OTHER AND YOU SEE EACH OTHER,
YOU MAY ANSWER ONE QUESTION AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT MAY SPARK A DIFFERENT QUESTION. 
          SO THAT'S ALWAYS MY FEEL ON THAT. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE IN IN-PERSON
MEETINGS, AND WE HAD TRIED TO KEEP THE COST DOWN INITIALLY BY DOING AS MUCH VIRTUAL JUST BECAUSE
GENSLER WAS COMING OUT OF PHOENIX, OUT OF LA, OUT OF COLORADO. WE KNEW THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH
THAT. 
          AND SO WE WERE JUST TRYING TO BE MINDFUL OF THE TAX DOLLARS BEING SPENT UP FRONT. 
          BUT YEAH, A LOT OF VALUE IN, IN PERSON. IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING EFFICIENT AND
BEING EFFECTIVE. 
          AND WE THOUGHT THE IN-PERSON WAS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN BEING EFFICIENT. AND SO THAT'S WHY
I'M BACK HERE TODAY. I GUESS AFTER LIVING THE YEARS OF COVID, I'M NOT I'M JUST WANT TO BE IN THE ROOM TOGETHER OR SOCIALIZING AND TALKING. 
          AND THOSE ARE GOOD THINGS AND FACE TO FACE CONVERSATION. 
          YES, MA'AM. VALUABLE. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. 
          DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? NO. OKAY, WELL,
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM. 
          ITEM NUMBER 11. I'LL SECOND YOU. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION,
AND I HAVE A SECOND. 
          CAN YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE? SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. 
          CONSENT ITEM 11 IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK. 
          OKAY, NOW WE'LL GO ON TO ITEM NUMBER 17. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. 
          [17.  Public Works - Approve Amendment No. 1 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) 24-0009721-I with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for Crookton Road at Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) Overpass Bridge. YC Contract No. 2025-285A1 (District 4 - Supervisor Kuknyo)]
YEAH. I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS. 
          NOT SO MUCH. I SUPPORT THE PROJECT FULLY. AND THIS IS WHERE THERE NEEDS TO BE CONSTRUCTION
OF A BRIDGE, REPAIR OF A BRIDGE, DEMOLITION OF A BRIDGE OVER CROOKTON ROAD OR OVER THE ROUTE 66. 
          MY ONLY CONCERN, AND I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP,
AND I'LL BE AT THE RURAL TRANSPORTATION SUMMIT HERE IN ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT ADOT BE VERY AWARE THAT ON APRIL 30TH, ROUTE 66 TURNS 100 YEARS OLD AND SELIGMAN'S HAVING A
HUGE GATHERING. 
          THERE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE 900 CLASSIC CARS GOING DOWN THAT STRETCH OF ROAD,
AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD TIME THE CONSTRUCTION. 
          [00:40:02]
SO AS THOSE CARS DO NOT HAVE TO BE BYPASSED ON THE I-40,
WHICH KIND OF RUINS THE WHOLE FEEL OF THE THING. 
          SO REALLY NOTHING WITH YOU, ROGER. BUT I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE AND,
LIKE, LET ADOT KNOW THAT THIS IS A BIG THING. 
          AND I KNOW THAT IT WAS IT WAS KIND OF MENTIONED AND THERE WAS KIND OF AN EYE ROLL. 
          SO I WANT A LITTLE MORE THAN AN EYE ROLL. I JUST WANT IT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY,
BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT JUST THE PUBLIC AND THE GENERAL THAT USES EVERY DAY, NOT ONLY IS IT THE EAST WEST BYPASS FOR 40 IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
BUT THIS EVENT IS HUGE AND THOSE GUYS WILL NOT WANT TO BE GOING OVER GIANT, BUMPY ROADS IN THESE BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILES. 
          YEAH, YEAH. CHAIR MALLORY. VICE CHAIR COMPTON,
SUPERVISOR KUKNYO AND OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS ROGER MCCORMICK, YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND
FOR ACTUALLY POINTING THIS OUT, I THINK IN A PUBLIC SETTING IS GOOD. SO WE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION,
WE ACTUALLY HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH ADOT WITH A COUPLE FOLLOW UP DISCUSSIONS SINCE WE KIND OF INITIALLY HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH
THEM. 
          WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEIR PROJECT MANAGER ALYSSA YOUNG,
AND SHE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE TEAM AT ADOT TO PUT INTO THE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS THAT SPECIFICALLY ON APRIL 30TH,
THAT THAT WOULD BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY OPEN OR FULLY OPEN FOR TRAFFIC TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THERE. THEY WERE AMENABLE TO GETTING THAT IN THERE. 
          AND LOOKING AT THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED,
AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, AN KNOW, AN ESTIMATION OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE CONSTRUCTION. 
          IT APPEARS THAT THE REMOVALS WILL NOT HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER MAY 1ST. 
          AND SO I THINK I THINK WE'RE IN A GOOD PATH. I THINK WE'RE KIND OF IN ALIGNMENT WITH
THEY'VE RECEIVED THE MESSAGE. 
          AND SO HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOOD FOR THAT IS MY INTENT. 
          AND THANK YOU. I MEAN, ROUTE 66 LOOKS BEAUTIFUL WITH ALL THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE UP
THERE. 
          AND I THINK IT'S ALL READY FOR THEM TO TURN A HUNDRED. 
          YEAH. SO, ROGER JUST GOING FORWARD, WILL YOU JUST KIND OF KEEP US UPDATED IF SOMETHING
SHOULD, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD HEAR SOMETHING AND SOMETHING CHANGES SO THAT MAYBE WE CAN GET AHEAD
OF IT IF WE THINK SOMETHING'S GOING WRONG. 
          ABSOLUTELY. AND IF AND I WOULD SAY IF THERE'S ANY OTHER SPECIFIC DATES IN RELATION TO THE
EVENT THAT MAY BE GOING ON IF THOSE COULD JUST BE COMMUNICATED TO US, WE'LL,
WORK WITH THE ADOT TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THINGS. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE ASH FORK IS DOING THEIR CELEBRATION LATER ON IN THE SUMMER,
SO I THINK WE'RE CLEAR. 
          OKAY. VERY GOOD. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IF NOT, I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 17 OF THE CONSENT
AGENDA. 
          I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          CLERK OF THE BOARD CAN YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE,
PLEASE. SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. 
          CONSENT ITEM 17 IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY,
GREAT. 
          ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ACTION. 
          [1.  Board of Supervisors - Discussion and possible action regarding approval of revised Rules of Order for the conduct of meetings of the Board of Supervisors. ]
FIRST ITEM ON ACTION IS DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING APPROVAL OF REVISED RULES
OF ORDER FOR THIS FOR THE CONDUCT OF MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. SO, SUPERVISOR JENKINS,
I WILL TURN TO YOU ON THIS. 
          THANK YOU. CHAIR. I'M GOING TO ASK, AND I'LL GIVE REASON TO TABLE THIS ITEM AND BRING IT
BACK. 
          AND THIS IS MY REASONING. THIS IS THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS APPROVED IN JANUARY. 
          AND I'M COVERING THIS BECAUSE I WROTE THE DATE UP HERE,
BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THAT TELLS YOU WHEN THIS DOCUMENT WAS APPROVED. 
          THIS IS THE SAME DOCUMENT WE'RE LOOKING AT TODAY. 
          IF THIS WAS ON A TABLE, NO ONE WOULD REALLY KNOW WHICH ONE WAS THE EFFECTIVE DOCUMENT. 
          SO THE REASON WHY I WOULD LIKE TO TABLE IT IS,
I BELIEVE, THIS TYPE OF DOCUMENT COMING BEFORE THE BOARD THAT'S AN APPROVAL OF RULES SHOULD BE THROUGH A RESOLUTION. AND NOT JUST A WORD DOCUMENT COMING TO US. 
          AND IF YOU READ THE DEFINITION OF RESOLUTIONS,
IT DOES SAY THAT RESOLUTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ARE TO SET INTERNAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. AND I FEEL THAT THIS QUALIFIES FOR THAT. 
          AND HAVING SAID THAT, ONCE IT'S A RESOLUTION. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE CLERK'S OFFICE. 
          THE DOCUMENT WOULD BE CONTROLLED. PREVIOUS DOCUMENTS WOULD BE OBSOLETE. 
          THERE WOULD BE A TRACKING NUMBER BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE A RESOLUTION NUMBER. 
          SO I WOULD ASK THE BOARD'S CONSENSUS OR VOTE TO DO TO BRING IT BACK AS A RESOLUTION. 
          [00:45:03]
I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT THAT WE NEED TO HAVE TRACKING ON IT,
AND IT NEEDS TO BE IN CONTROL WITHIN THE CLERK'S OFFICE. 
          AND THE I HAVE ONE OTHER ITEM THAT I WANT TO MENTION MOST OF THE CHANGES,
AND I DON'T HAVE ANY EXCEPTION TO THE CHANGES IN HERE WE'RE WORDSMITHING AND CLEANING SOME THINGS UP. ON THE VERY LAST PAGE ITEM NUMBER 33,
IT TALKS ABOUT SPEAKERS COMING FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. AND THE ATTORNEY AND I SPOKE ABOUT THIS. 
          I MEAN, THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I UNDERSTAND IT. WITH THE ADDITION OF WE ARE,
AS BOARD MEMBERS, ALLOWED TO RESPOND TO PERSONAL ATTACKS. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE IN HERE. 
          I JUST WANT TO KNOW, WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW FOR THE RECORD,
THAT'S NOT INCLUDED HERE, BUT THAT IS PART OF THIS ARS. 
          SO I WOULD LOOK TO MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, IF YOU WANT THE COMPLETE STATUTE TO COVER ALL
ASPECTS OF IT INCLUDED OR NOT. BUT I ALSO NOTED THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT. 
          AND ATTORNEY. THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. GOOD MORNING. 
          YES GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU, CHAIR. VICE CHAIR,
SUPERVISORS. 
          ABSOLUTELY. THE BOARD COULD MOVE TO A PROCESS OF ADOPTING THESE TYPES OF MEASURES THROUGH
RESOLUTION. 
          THAT IS NOT HISTORICALLY HOW IT'S BEEN DONE. NOT TO SUGGEST THAT THAT'S NOT A PROPER WAY
TO DO IT. 
          SO ABSOLUTELY THERE ARE BENEFITS TO DOING IT THROUGH A RESOLUTION,
AND THAT COULD BE DONE IN RELATION TO THESE RULES OF ORDER. 
          YOU'RE ALSO CORRECT. THESE ARE PRIMARILY HOUSEKEEPING MEASURES. 
          WITH ONE EXCEPTION, THERE'S A PROPOSED ADDITION OF A SECTION,
A NEW SECTION TO THE AGENDA ENTITLED BOARD MEMBER LIAISON REPORTS. 
          AND I KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE BOARD MEMBER HAD AN INTEREST IN ADDING THAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO ADDRESS THAT TODAY AND POSSIBLY RECEIVE DIRECTION IN RELATION
TO THAT ITEM AND THEN DO AN OVERALL REVISION, DISTRIBUTE IT FOR APPROVAL, REVIEW AND APPROVAL,
AND THEN ADOPT A RESOLUTION. 
          BUT THAT WOULD BE AN OPTION AVAILABLE TO THE BOARD. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. BRENNAN. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO WAS THAT YOUR PART WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE REPORTS? YES,
IT WAS I WE ALL DO SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          I'M GOING TO SYMPOSIUM, I'M BRINGING BACK INFORMATION,
AND I'M REALLY ONLY ALLOWED TO TALK TO ONE OTHER PERSON ABOUT THAT ON THIS BOARD. 
          AND SOMETIMES THERE'S INFORMATION I THINK NEEDS TO BE SHARED. 
          AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE A LINE ITEM ON THERE WHERE WE MIGHT SAY,
WE HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT, BUT I KNOW EVERYBODY'S DOING DIFFERENT THINGS, AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COUNTY AS A BOARD,
JUST SO WE KNOW ADVANCEMENTS IN OPEN SPACE, ADVANCEMENTS IN PEOPLE HANDLING WATER ISSUES,
THERE NEEDS TO BE A TIME WHERE WE ACTUALLY CAN TALK TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE RESPECT THIS OPEN MEETING LAW COMPLETELY, BUT IT HANDICAPS US WHEN WE CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH EACH
OTHER. 
          THIS WOULD BE A STEP TOWARDS THAT. SO JUST A LITTLE GO BACK WHEN I FIRST CAME ON THE BOARD
IN 2019 I REMEMBER US DOING THINGS LIKE THIS. I ALSO REMEMBER EACH SUPERVISOR,
I'M NOT SUGGESTING THIS, I'M JUST SAYING THAT EACH SUPERVISOR WOULD TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THEIR
DISTRICT COMING UP. 
          OKAY. AND THEN AS TIME WENT ON, I BECAME THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR DOWN AT CSA,
AND I USED TO JUST COME AND PUT UP A POWERPOINT AND THEN GIVE A REPORT AND,
AND WE HAD DIALOG ACTUALLY BECAUSE IT HAD DIALOG WITH POSSIBLE ACTION. 
          AND SO I'M JUST KIND OF PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. 
          AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE I NEVER SAW IT IN SOME KIND OF RULES OF ORDER. 
          AND I JUST I GUESS I'M A LITTLE WONDERING WHY CAN'T WE JUST DO THIS? WE'RE ON BOARDS. DOES IT HAVE TO BE IN THE RULES OF ORDER OR A RESOLUTION? WHATEVER WE'RE THINKING OF, I'M JUST. WE JUST DID IT. 
          SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS. SO, CHAIR,
VICE CHAIR SUPERVISORS, YOU ARE CORRECT ON BOTH COUNTS. 
          SO THE OPEN MEETING LAW EXPRESSLY ALLOWS THE BOARD TO HAVE A SECTION IN THE AGENDA FOR
SUMMARIES OF CURRENT EVENTS, WHICH I THINK IS WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. AND SO YOU COULD HAVE THAT AS A TITLE OF A
SECTION, AND IT WOULD ALLOW FOR SUPERVISORS TO BRING UP AND BRIEFLY DISCUSS,
NOT A DISCUSSION BETWEEN BOARD MEMBERS, 
          [00:50:04]
BUT TO ADVISE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING CURRENT EVENTS WITHIN THEIR DISTRICT. 
          AND THAT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT HAVING INDIVIDUAL ITEMS AGENDIZED. 
          THE OTHER THING THAT YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS PROBABLY DESERVING OF
DISCUSSION, OR THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE SEPARATELY AGENDIZED,
AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE BOARD COULD HAVE A PRESENTATION AND ANY DISCUSSION AND PROPOSE TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOLLOWING THAT DISCUSSION. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU, MR. BRENNAN. 
          I'LL JUST HAVE ANY OTHER CONVERSATION. I APPRECIATE SUPERVISOR JENKINS AND HER INPUT,
AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE SUPERVISOR KUKNYO'S INPUT AS WELL. 
          I MEAN, I AGREE WITH HIM IN TERMS OF HAVING THE ABILITY TO DISCUSS,
BUT I WILL LEAVE ANY. I'M NOT SURE SPECIFICALLY WHERE A MOTION WOULD GO OR HOW YOU'D WANT TO PHRASE IT, I SHOULD SAY. YEAH. AND THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE. 
          I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING SHE SAID. AND BEFORE WE GET A DOCUMENT THAT COMES BACK TO US TO
APPROVE AS A RESOLUTION, THERE'S OTHER CHANGES I'D LIKE TO SEE IN THERE. 
          I WISH THERE WAS DISCUSSION ON IT. AND I'LL GO WITH WHATEVER WAY THE BOARD DECIDES. 
          BUT I CONTINUE TO FEEL THAT CALL TO THE PUBLIC SHOULD GO TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE MEETING
BEFORE THE CONSENT AGENDA SHOULD. 
          WELL, BUT I GOT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN WEIGH IN,
AND THEN I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA. DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE FUTURE STUDY SESSIONS,
AGENDA ITEMS, THINGS TO THAT NATURE WHERE WE CAN WITHOUT GOING INTO DETAIL, WE COULD SAY,
YOU KNOW WHAT, I'D REALLY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS. 
          DOES ANYBODY HAVE IDEAS? BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVE A BRILLIANT BOARD. 
          AND I MEAN, THE OTHER DAY SUPERVISOR CHECK WALKED BY MY DOOR AND I SAID,
HEY, YOU KNOW, WE BOUGHT THE HARVEY FARM IN THE DEL RIO PARK. 
          AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT IF YAVAPAI COLLEGE HAD THEIR AG PROGRAM? WOULDN'T THAT BE GREAT TO EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME. 
          SUPERVISOR. WE MAY BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE ITEM AT THIS POINT,
BUT ALL OF THE DISCUSSION IS VALID AND APPRECIATED, AND IT APPEARS OVERALL THAT THIS IS NOT READY FOR ACTION BY THE BOARD. 
          AND SO I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE THIS BACK VISIT WITH INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS,
ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS, PUT TOGETHER A REVISED DOCUMENT THAT ADDRESSES ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN
CARE OF IN AN UPDATED SET OF RULES OF ORDER, AND THEN ALSO BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD IN THE FORM OF A RESOLUTION,
IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. 
          YEAH, I THINK THAT. ARE WE GOOD? I THINK WE'RE FINE WITH THAT. 
          THAT WILL BE GREAT. AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF UNDERSTAND THIS LINE,
THESE LINES THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY IN, THAT WE GET A LITTLE OUT OF IT. AND SO WE JUST. 
          YEAH, WORKING THROUGH THAT. BUT IF I TALK WITH YOU,
HOW DOES THAT GET TO THEM? WELL, I WOULD INCORPORATE IT INTO A DRAFT OF RULES OF ORDER,
AND THEN WE'LL PICK IT APART ONCE IT COMES HERE. 
          YES. OKAY. OKAY. I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT. ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA, BY THE WAY NIKKI. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ARE WE GOOD? NO, BUT I MIGHT MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE ACTION. 
          ITEM NUMBER ONE. YES. SECOND, OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. 
          SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. 
          CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ACTION ITEM NUMBER ONE HAS BEEN TABLED. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. ACTION ITEM NUMBER TWO. APPROVE A PROPOSAL FOR SUBMISSION TO THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS
ASSOCIATION. 
          [2.  Board of Supervisors - Approve a proposal for submission to the County Supervisors Association (CSA) to encourage the Legislature to amend A.R.S. §11-419 so that all elected officials in counties with a population over 200,000 would receive uniform salaries.]
I WILL GO AHEAD AND TURN TO THE VICE CHAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE WAS
INTERESTED IN. 
          THANK YOU, CHAIR. I APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. IN ORDER FOR US TO DISCUSS THIS AT CSA,
TO EVEN HAVE THE DISCUSSION, I NEED TO HAVE BOARD APPROVAL TO SEND IT DOWN. 
          AND THE MATTER FIRST CAME TO MY ATTENTION A FEW MONTHS BACK,
AND I'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSIONS WITH CRAIG SULLIVAN AT CSA. 
          AND IN REFERENCE TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS JUST AN ARBITRARY NUMBER THAT A LONG TIME AGO WAS
PICKED OUT OF A HAT. 
          AND I THINK CONSIDERING HOW OUR COUNTIES HAVE GROWN AND THE POPULATIONS,
THAT THAT NUMBER IS NO LONGER REFLECTIVE OF WHERE WE NEED TO BE. 
          AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION AS A WHOLE HAVE A DISCUSSION
ABOUT IT, ABOUT WHERE WE MIGHT WANT TO GO OR NOT WANT TO GO. 
          AND SO THE NUMBER THAT I PUT DOWN THE 200,000 CERTAINLY REFLECTS THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT
THESE DIFFERENT ELECTED OFFICIALS DO AND OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO THOSE JOBS AS WELL. 
          BUT I FEEL IT'S WORTHY OF DISCUSSION AT CSA. AND I'VE ALSO SPOKEN WITH SELINA BLISS,
REPRESENTATIVE BLISS, 
          [00:55:03]
ABOUT BRINGING A BILL FORWARD IF CSA HAS APPROVAL. 
          AND I JUST FEEL IT'S A MATTER THAT WE WE NEED TO ADDRESS. 
          AND I'D LIKE THE BOARD'S PERMISSION TO SEND IT DOWN TO CSA SO WE CAN DISCUSS IT. 
          AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MY COMMENTS, MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS. 
          THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. SUPERVISOR CHECK. THANK YOU. 
          YEAH. VICE CHAIR, I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY THIS IS LOOKING TO ESTABLISH SALARY PARITY. 
          WITH THE ARBITRARY POPULATION OF BASICALLY COUNTIES WITH LESS THAN 200,000 PEOPLE ARE THE
ELECTED OFFICIALS GET PAID LESS. 
          SO I JUST WOULD LIKE TO ADD TWO PIECES OF SUBSTANTIATION IN MY SUPPORT OF THIS. 
          THE POPULATION CENTERS YOU KNOW, THE COUNTIES THAT COME TO MIND FOR THE HIGHLY POPULATED
AREAS ARE MARICOPA AND PIMA. 
          AND I THINK SOMETHING OF NOTE IS THAT COST OF LIVING IS ACTUALLY,
I WOULD SAY LOWER IN MARICOPA AND PIMA COUNTY AS COMPARED TO YAVAPAI COUNTY. SO THAT'S DEFINITELY POINTS TO AN ARBITRARINESS AS FAR AS PAY GOES. 
          AND ALSO, I WOULD SAY THAT THE WORKLOAD INVOLVED IN A COUNTY THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT
UNINCORPORATED POPULATIONS IS AT LEAST ON PAR, IF NOT MORE SO. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. MADAM CHAIR,
THANK YOU. 
          YES, I FORGOT TO ALSO ADD I HAVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM MICHELLE BURCHILL AND AS WELL AS
MR. DAVIS, CHIP DAVIS, OUR TREASURER. JUST SO WE KNOW. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR. SUPERVISOR JENKINS,
ANY COMMENTS? I MEAN, MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS, OH. OH, NO ASKING TO INCREASE SALARIES. 
          BUT THEN WHEN I LOOKED AT THE CHART THAT WAS PROVIDED,
IT WAS CURIOUS TO ME WHY TWO CATEGORIES WERE THE SAME FIGURE AND OTHERS WERE NOT. 
          THAT REALLY SWITCHED MY POINT OF VIEW. BECAUSE I COULDN'T UNLESS SOMEBODY AND NO OFFENSE
TO EITHER THE COUNTY ATTORNEY OR THE COUNTY SHERIFF, BUT IT JUST SEEMED OUT OF SYNC TO PULL TWO OUT AND SAY EVERYBODY ELSE WORKS. 
          NOT AS MUCH. SO I WOULD AGREE ON THAT LEVEL. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU FOR I FORGOT TO BRING UP THAT POINT THAT THERE IS NO DISPARITY THERE. 
          SO IF I MOVE TO APPROVE THIS ACTION ITEM. SECOND. 
          CAN WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND? YOU ANY MORE DISCUSSION? SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. I DIDN'T HEAR FROM YOU. ARE YOU GOOD? THAT'S REALLY ODD, BUT YEAH, I HAD NOTHING TO SAY. 
          NO COMMENT. YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE. SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. 
          ACTION ITEM NUMBER TWO IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

Clerk of the Superior Court - Approve an increase to the Clerk of Superior Court's Clerks Storage Fund expenditure budget in the amount of $350,000.00 and an offsetting reduction in the Board of Supervisors Budget Capacity Grants Fund expenditure budget for document imaging services.]
AND I WILL REACH OUT TO MR. BRENNAN. AM I CORRECT IN UNDERSTANDING WE ARE TABLING THIS? THAT IS CORRECT CHAIR. YES. AT THE REQUEST OF THE CLERK OF SUPERIOR COURT. 
          OKAY. FANTASTIC. OKAY. NUMBER THREE WILL BE TABLED. 
          WE DON'T NEED A VOTE. DO WE NEED A VOTE FOR THAT? OKAY, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THE ITEM. SECOND. 
          CAN WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE,
PLEASE.

YC Contract No. 2018-121A5]
THE COUNTY JAIL DISTRICT. WELL, GOOD MORNING,
SHERIFF. 
          HOW ARE YOU? I'M FANTASTIC. THANK YOU GUYS. DAVID RHODES,
YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF. 
          [01:00:06]
THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE JAIL MEDICAL CONTRACT. 
          AS MANY OF YOU KNOW MEDICAL CARE IN THE YAVAPAI COUNTY JAIL IS PROVIDED BY AN OUTSIDE
CONTRACTOR. 
          IT IS NOT PROVIDED BY THE COUNTY OR ADMINISTRATION. 
          THIS WAS A DECISION THAT WAS MADE ABOUT 22 YEARS AGO,
AFTER THE FORMATION OF THE JAIL DISTRICT, AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES THAT THE COUNTY WAS HAVING PROVIDING JAIL MEDICAL
CARE AT THAT TIME AND THE SUBSEQUENT DOJ INVESTIGATION. THE COMPANY THAT WE ARE LOOKING SEEKING TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT WITH
WEXFORD, ACTUALLY CAME HERE IN 2003, 2004 AND TOOK OVER AS OUR JAIL MEDICAL PROVIDER AND BEEN HERE
EVER SINCE. 
          THEY'VE BEEN A FANTASTIC PARTNER. THE JAIL MEDICAL IS ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL ASPECTS OF
RUNNING THE FACILITY IS PROVIDING ADEQUATE HEALTH CARE IN THE JAIL. AND AS MANY OF YOU KNOW,
MAYBE THE PUBLIC DOESN'T KNOW THE COUNTY IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING JAIL MEDICAL OR HEALTH CARE INSIDE THE FACILITY. THERE'S NO OUTSIDE FUNDING THAT COMES AS A RESULT OF
NEEDED HEALTHCARE INSIDE THE FACILITY. 
          WE NEGOTIATED WITH WEXFORD THIS YEAR AND THERE IS A INCREASE OF ABOUT $800,000,
AS YOU CAN SEE. 
          THE AND THAT'S A RESULT PRIMARILY OF STAFFING. 
          DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT, THE NEW CRIMINAL JUSTICE FACILITY CAME ONLINE
AND WEXFORD GAVE SOME ESTIMATES AS TO WHAT THAT WOULD NEED TO INCREASE STAFFING, SOME AMENDMENTS TO THAT CONTRACT. 
          BUT NOW THEY HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF HOW MANY STAFF THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO RUN BOTH
FACILITIES. 
          AND THIS IS PRIMARILY REPRESENTATIVE OF A STAFFING INCREASE. 
          I WILL SAY THAT THE CONTRACT IS SUB CAPITATED,
MEANING THAT THERE IS AN INITIAL UPFRONT PURCHASE OR IN OTHER WORDS, THE NUMBER OR THE POPULATION IS WHAT DRIVES THE BLOCK PURCHASE OF THE CONTRACT. 
          AND THEN ANYTHING BEYOND CERTAIN NUMBERS IN YOUR DAILY POPULATION BECOME SUB CAPITATED,
MEANING THAT YOU WILL PAY MORE FOR THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS KEPT THE JAIL POPULATION LOW YOU KNOW,
ABOUT 6 OR 7 YEARS AGO, WE WERE RUNNING IN THE 600 TO 650 RANGE, AND NOW WE'RE RUNNING IN THE 400 TO 425 RANGE. 
          AND THAT HAS PRIMARILY BEEN THE EFFORTS TO REDUCE RECIDIVISM BY ALL OF OUR PARTNERS,
INCLUDING COMMUNITY HEALTH. 
          YOU HEARD THEM HERE TODAY. ALL OF THE ALL OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS,
COMMUNITY RESOURCES, THE YAVAPAI CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND MENTAL HEALTH COALITION,
INCLUDING REACH OUT, YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JOE REENTRY PLAN. 
          AND THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS,
AS WELL AS THE COURTS AND WHATNOT, AND KEEPING THAT POPULATION LOW AND KEEPING THE COST OF JAIL MEDICAL FROM BALLOONING OUT OF CONTROL. AND THIS CONTRACT IS WEAVED IN WITH THE
RESTORATION OF COMPETENCY CONTRACT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY NUMBER SEVEN FOR SOME REASON. 
          BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT WHEN THAT COMES UP. 
          AND I CAN EXPLAIN THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU SHERIFF. 
          ANY CONVERSATIONS FROM THE BOARD? JUST THE NUMBERS ARE SO BIG. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT? I JUST DID THE QUICK MATH ON THIS. 
          IT'S ABOUT $16,000 A DAY THAT WE SPEND ON THAT. 
          AND I'M JUST GOING TO TRUST YOU THAT WE'RE GETTING OUR VALUE FOR OUR MONEY,
AND IT'S WORTH IT. 
          IT'S JUST THAT JUST THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS SO BIG. 
          WELL WE DID AN RFP AND WE GOT CONTRACT NUMBERS BACK. 
          THAT BOGGLED THE MIND FROM NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS,
AND NONE OF THEM COULD OR WOULD PROVIDE THE SERVICES AT THE LEVEL WEXFORD IS PROVIDING AT THE COST WEXFORD IS PROVIDING. 
          SO WE WENT THROUGH A COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS. 
          SPENT ALMOST A YEAR DOING THAT. MR. GOODMAN WAS PART OF THAT. 
          MR. BRENNAN WAS PART OF THAT A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS. 
          IT TOOK US ALL THE WAY UNTIL, YOU KNOW, WE BEGAN THAT PROCESS IN JANUARY. 
          ULTIMATELY WE DECIDED TO JUST EXTEND THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE BRINGING IN A NEW
CONTRACTOR WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY COST INCREASE. AND YOU KNOW, THAT TO THAT POINT THAT HITS THE JAIL DISTRICT. 
          AND THIS IS PART OF THE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC PLAN IS TALKING ABOUT HOW TO
CONTINUE TO FUND THAT JAIL DISTRICT BECAUSE IT'S HALF FUNDED OUT 
          [01:05:02]
OF PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERY WAY THAT WE CAN TO KEEP THAT
DISTRICT UNDER CONTROL, OR THE EXPENSES THAT WE'RE ADDING TO THE DISTRICT UNDER CONTROL. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT. 
          AND THIS IS NOTHING THAT WE'D WANT TO ATTEMPT IN-HOUSE. 
          WE WOULDN'T WANT TO USE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE DAY I RETIRE AS SHERIFF. OKAY. 
          SHE'S SHAKING HER HEAD, NO TOO. [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT THEN. 
          WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I MOVE TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER FIVE. 
          SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION, AND WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE. SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. 
          ACTION. ITEM NUMBER. ACTION ITEM NUMBER FIVE HAS BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          OKAY. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. OKAY. NUMBER SIX,
PUBLIC WORKS APPROVED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT. 
          [6.  Public Works - Approve Professional Services Contract #2533763, in an amount not to exceed $485,690.00, to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the Williamson Valley Road Traffic Study and Preliminary Engineering Design. YC Contract No. 2025-358 (District 4 - Supervisor Kuknyo)]
GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING AGAIN. CHAIR MALLORY. 
          VICE CHAIR COMPTON. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ROGER MCCORMICK,
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. 
          SO BEFORE YOU, TODAY IS AN ACTION ITEM IN RELATION TO A STUDY. 
          WE'RE LOOKING LOOKING TO KICK OFF BY HIRING KIMLEY-HORN IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$485,690 FOR WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD TRAFFIC STUDY AND PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DESIGN. 
          PUBLIC WORKS WENT THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS PROCESS IN WHICH WE PUT
THIS OUT FOR CONSULTANT FIRMS AROUND THE STATE OF ARIZONA TO PUT IN FOR THIS. WE ENDED UP RANKING THOSE BASED OFF OF THE BEST QUALIFIED COMPANY IN
WHICH WE DETERMINED WOULD BE PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE TO THE COUNTY. 
          KIMLEY-HORN WAS THAT COMPANY. AND I WOULD MENTION THAT ANDREW BAIRD IS IN THE AUDIENCE
TODAY FROM KIMLEY-HORN. 
          HE WORKS IN THE LOCAL PRESCOTT OFFICE HERE. AND SO THIS STUDY IS GOING TO LOOK AT
WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD FROM PIONEER PARKWAY ALL THE WAY TO OUTER LOOP ROAD. AND THERE HAVE BEEN STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED FOR
WILLIAMSON VALLEY IN THE PAST. 
          SOME OF THE PROJECTIONS THAT WERE MADE IN RELATION TO THE GROWTH OF SOME OF THOSE PREVIOUS
STUDIES WERE QUITE AGGRESSIVE. 
          AND WE'RE SEEING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PATTERN IN RELATION TO THE WAY THE GROWTH IS
HAPPENING. 
          AND SO PART OF THE CONTRACT THAT KIMLEY-HORN WILL LOOK AT IS DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE
WILLIAMSON VALLEY AREA AND HOW THAT GROWTH WOULD BE PROJECTED NOT ONLY IN THE SHORT TERM BUT INTO THE LONG TERM YEARS. 
          SOME OF THE POSSIBLE OPTIONS THAT WOULD BE LOOKED AT AS PART OF THIS STUDY WOULD BE DOES
IT NEED TO BE WIDENED TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF LANES? DOES THERE NEED TO BE A CONTINUOUS CENTER TURN LANE FOR THE LENGTH OF WILLIAMSON
VALLEY ROAD? ARE THERE SPOT IMPROVEMENTS AT SPECIFIC INTERSECTIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE A LIGHT OR A
ROUNDABOUT? ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT ITEMS WILL BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THIS STUDY. 
          WE'RE LOOKING TO DO FULLY UPDATED INTERSECTION COUNTS,
TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS, DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF THIS ROAD NOW AND GOING INTO THE FUTURE BASED OFF BASED OFF OF THOSE FUTURE POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND GROWTH. 
          WE DO HAVE WITHIN THIS CONTRACT THE ABILITY TO DO A COUPLE OF PUBLIC OUTREACH EVENTS IN
WHICH WE WILL BE SHARING INFORMATION WITH THE PUBLIC AND TAKING THEIR INPUT IN RELATION TO THE WILLIAMSON VALLEY CORRIDOR. 
          AND THEN LASTLY I WILL SAY THAT THIS SHOULD TAKE US ABOUT A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR. 
          THE CURRENT SCHEDULE SHOWS US COMPLETING THIS RIGHT AROUND JUNE. 
          WE ARE ABOUT A MONTH DELAYED. IN RELATION TO WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THE CONTRACT
SPECIFICS TO GET US SET UP. 
          WE'RE HOPING TO START THIS EARLY SEPTEMBER. BUT BEING THAT WE'RE NOW OCTOBER,
THIS MAY PUSH INTO JULY, BUT WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN MAKE UP SOME GROUND ALONG THE WAY. 
          BUT I'D LOVE TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS. BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DOING THIS
STUDY FOR THE WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD CORRIDOR. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. ROGER, I'LL TURN TO SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. 
          LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN YOUR DISTRICT. I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A LOT GOING ON OUT THERE IN WILLIAMSON
VALLEY ROAD. 
          YEAH, THIS IS MUCH NEEDED. THIS AREA IS REALLY GROWING LIKE CRAZY OUT THERE. 
          AND WE'RE JUST NOT KEEPING UP WITH WE'RE STARTING TO SEE FATALITIES ON A FAIRLY REGULAR
BASIS. 
          THEY DID A TRAFFIC COUNT JUST REAL QUICK, KIND OF A LOOSE THING. 
          AND AT PIONEER PARKWAY IN WILLIAMSON VALLEY ROAD,
THERE'S 11,500 CARS GOING DOWN THAT STRETCH OF ROAD EVERY DAY. 
          [01:10:03]
SO AND WE'RE TALKING AT SOME POINTS, WILLIAMSON VALLEY IS A TWO LANE ROAD AND THE
FATALITIES ARE UGLY. 
          A LOT OF THEM ARE JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BEING IDIOTS. BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN DO.
COULD WE YOU KNOW, HE MENTIONED A LOT OF THINGS. DO WE NEED A RUMBLE STRIP DOWN THE MIDDLE? DO WE NEED WIDENED HERE? SO THIS IS A VERY WORTHWHILE STUDY BECAUSE YOU NEED. 
          A LOT OF WHEN I GO ON THE INTERNET, EVERYBODY BECOMES A TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND THEY KNOW
JUST WHAT IT TAKES TO FIX IT. 
          BUT YOU REALLY NEED THE EXPERTS TO COME IN AND TELL YOU WHAT CAN BE DONE,
WHAT CAN'T BE DONE. 
          AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THESE RESULTS IN A YEAR. 
          I WISH THE YEAR WOULD GO BY FASTER. GOING ON THE INTERNET,
IT'S ALWAYS DANGEROUS ANYWAY. 
          SUPERVISOR CHECK. MADAM CHAIR, THANK YOU. I JUST NOW HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION. 
          DOES THIS CONTRACT INCLUDE A PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD IN PERSON? SO. YEAH. IT DOES. THANK YOU. HE'S NOT TOO FAR AWAY,
SO HE'S HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT I WOULD SAY PROBABLY. 
          ALRIGHT. WELL ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER
SIX. 
          SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE,
PLEASE. 
          SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. 
          SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. 
          CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ACTION ITEM SIX HAS BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ROGER. WELL,
WE'LL GO BACK TO THE SHERIFF FOR ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. 
          [7.  Sheriff - Approve Amendment No. 10 to extend the Agreement with Wexford Health Services through June 30, 2028, in the total amount of $1,550,084.01, for the Restoration to Competency (RTC) Program. YC Contract No. 2019-131A3]
SHERIFF. GOOD MORNING AGAIN, DAVID RHODES, YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF. 
          ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS AN EXTENSION OF THE RESTORATION SERVICES CONTRACT,
ALSO WITH WEXFORD HEALTHCARE. 
          THIS CONTRACT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE ABOUT 2010. 
          AND IT WAS BORN OUT OF NECESSITY. RESTORATION OF COMPETENCY IS A COURT FUNCTION IN WHICH
SOMEBODY IS ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH A CRIME, AND THEIR ATTORNEY WILL ASK FOR AN EVALUATION. 
          IF THE JUDGE AGREES THEN EVALUATION FOR THEIR COMPETENCY TO STAND TRIAL IS NECESSARY. 
          THEN THEY WILL ORDER A RESTORATION TO COMPETENCY. 
          THE ORDER, THE EVALUATION WILL COME UP WITH THREE FINDINGS EITHER COMPETENT TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH TRIAL. 
          NOT COMPETENT, BUT RESTORABLE AND NOT COMPETENT NOT RESTORABLE. 
          THOSE ARE THE THREE OPTIONS. RESTORATION TO COMPETENCY IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOUND
COMPETENT BUT RESTORABLE. 
          AND THIS USED TO BE A FUNCTION OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT. 
          BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT WAS, IT WAS PERFORMED AT THE STATE HOSPITAL. 
          THE STATE PAID FOR IT, AND IN THE GREAT COST SHIFT OF 2010 FROM THE STATE GOVERNMENT BACK
TO THE COUNTIES, THEY DECIDED TO CHARGE THE COUNTIES A PER DAY RATE OF ABOUT $700 BACK DURING THAT TIME. 
          AND SO IF YOU WERE PUTTING, YOU KNOW, 30, 40,
50 PEOPLE A YEAR THROUGH RTC, THAT'S $700 A DAY AT A TIME WHEN REVENUES WERE DECLINING THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY UNTENABLE. 
          SO THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE LEADERSHIP,
SHERIFF MASHER, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE JAIL AT THE TIME, WORKED WITH WEXFORD HEALTHCARE TO DEVELOP OUR OWN RESTORATION TO COMPETENCY PROGRAM,
WHICH IS HOUSED HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY JAIL, WHICH BECAME A NATIONAL MODEL. HE WON A NUMBER OF AWARDS AT THE NATIONAL SHERIFFS
ASSOCIATION AND WHATNOT. 
          AND ESSENTIALLY WE MOVE PEOPLE INTO THE PROGRAM AS ORDERED BY COURT. 
          WEXFORD PERFORMS THE NECESSARY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SCREENINGS AND RESTORATION PROCEDURES,
WHICH INCLUDES THERAPY, WHICH INCLUDES OTHER MEDICATED TREATMENT AT TIMES AND WHATNOT,
REPORTS BACK TO THE COURT. 
          THE COURT WILL MAKE A FINDING IF THAT PERSON IS DEEMED RESTORED OR NOT,
AND THEN THEY MOVE BACK INTO TRIAL. 
          AND WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS, OR WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND,
IS THAT THE BOARD AT THE ORDER OF THE SUPERIOR COURT, WILL MAKE PAYMENTS INTO THE JAIL DISTRICT FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
RESTORATION TO COMPETENCY. 
          A NUMBER OF THE COUNTIES, THE RURAL COUNTIES IN PARTICULAR,
HAD NO ABILITY OR IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO GET THEIR OWN DEFENDANTS INTO RTC PROGRAMS. SO WHEN WE BUILT THIS PROGRAM, WE BUILT IT WITH A CAPACITY OF 20 MEANING THAT
THERE WAS LIKELY IN ANY ONE DAY THE AVERAGE DAILY POPULATION IN RTC COULD BE UP TO 20 THAT'S WHAT THE CONTRACT
SUPPORTS. 
          WE COULD BE MAYBE 8 OR 10 OR 12 YAVAPAI COUNTY DEFENDANTS THAT WERE IN RTC,
AND THEN TAKE OTHER DEFENDANTS FROM OTHER 
          [01:15:05]
COUNTIES, AND THOSE COUNTIES WOULD PAY A PER DAY RATE OR A PER DIEM RATE UNDER A CONTRACT
WITH THE YAVAPAI COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO REIMBURSE THE GENERAL FUND FOR HOUSING THOSE INMATES. SO THE CONTRACT,
IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY PAY FOR ITSELF, BUT THE REVENUE THAT COMES FROM THOSE OTHER COUNTIES OFFSETS THE COST OF THIS CONTRACT. 
          THIS IS A NO. THIS IS A NET NEUTRAL CONTRACT. 
          THEY'RE NOT INCREASING IT THIS COMING YEAR GOING FORWARD. 
          AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR,
YOU KNOW, A GREAT ECONOMY OF SCALE, USING EXISTING FACILITIES, EXISTING STAFF. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE TO PROVIDE ANOTHER SERVICE THAT YAVAPAI COUNTY
NEEDS. 
          YAVAPAI COUNTY COURT SYSTEM NEEDS, THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESS NEEDS AND THEN THEM
KNOWING THE DEFENDANTS, KNOWING THE HISTORY OF THEM. WEXFORD KNOWING THE DEFENDANTS IN THE HISTORY AND BEING ABLE
TO WORK WITH OUR REENTRY PLANNERS AND OTHER PEOPLE. 
          THIS IS JUST A GREAT WIN FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY. SO I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE AND GIVE
THE BOARD THE HISTORY OF THIS CONTRACT AND WHY I'M HERE TODAY, ASKING TO EXTEND IT AGAIN. WELL, THANK YOU, SHERIFF. 
          I APPRECIATE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION. AND I DON'T KNOW,
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ITEM? NO. OKAY. WELL, THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE. 
          MOVE TO APPROVE. ACTION ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. SECOND. 
          OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. CLERK CAN YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE? SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. 
          SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. 
          CHAIR MALLORY. YES. ACTION ITEM NUMBER SEVEN HAS BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          OKAY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO HEARINGS. 
          [1.  Development Services - Approve minor text amendments to Section 1.1 (Comprehensive Plan Purpose) and Section 2.6 (Land Use Categories) of the Yavapai County Comprehensive Plan 2032 to incorporate statutory requirements in compliance with A.R.S. §11-804(E).]
ITEM NUMBER ONE. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES APPROVE MINOR TEXT AMENDMENTS. 
          GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, CHAIR MALLORY AND VICE CHAIR COMPTON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          MY NAME IS MATT BLAKE, PLANNING MANAGER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. 
          THIS REQUEST COMES TO YOU FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF AND IS FOR CONSIDERATION OF
MINOR TEXT AMENDMENTS. 
          PROPOSING TO ADD NEW LANGUAGE TO SECTION 1.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PURPOSE AND SECTION 2.6
LAND USE CATEGORIES TO INCORPORATE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH A.R.S 11-804,
SUBSECTION E. 
          A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND WHEN THIS ITEM APPEARED BEFORE THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION AT ITS MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, THE MOTION TO APPROVE WAS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          OKAY, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON COMPREHENSIVE PLANS. 
          AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF A TEN YEAR UPDATE TO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INCLUDES UPDATING THE
LAND USE MAP. 
          IN MARCH OF 2023, YAVAPAI COUNTY UPDATED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
WHICH INCLUDED A REVAMPED LAND USE MAP AND DESCRIPTIVE CATEGORIES WITH APPLICABLE ZONING TYPES AND RECOMMENDED DENSITIES. 
          THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SERVES AS THE OFFICIAL VISION AND POLICY DOCUMENT THAT PROVIDES THE
FOUNDATION FOR LAND USE REGULATIONS FOUND IN THE ZONING CODE. 
          THE INTENT OF THE LAND USE MAP IS TO ILLUSTRATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN VISION BY PROVIDING
A GUIDING BLUEPRINT FOR TO INFORM FUTURE UPDATES TO THE ZONING CODE AND ASSOCIATED ZONING MAP. IN MOST CASES,
IT IS THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ASSOCIATED ZONING MAP THAT IS CONTROLLING OVER LAND USE DENSITY, NOT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. HOWEVER,
THERE ARE A FEW LIMITED INSTANCES WHERE THE LAND USE MAP DOES MATTER FROM A STATUTORY REGULATORY STANDPOINT. FOR EXAMPLE, A.R.S 11-814A REQUIRES ALL REZONING REQUESTS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH AND CONFORM TO THE ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          THE OTHER MAJOR INSTANCE WHERE THE LAND USE MAP HAS REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS ON ZONING IS
WHERE COMPLIANCE WITH A.R.S 11-804, SUBSECTION E. COMES INTO PLAY. AND I'LL READ IT. 
          IT SAYS THIS IS SUBSECTION E, IN APPLYING AN OPEN SPACE ELEMENT OR GROWTH ELEMENT OF A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          A COUNTY SHALL NOT DESIGNATE PRIVATE OR STATE LAND AS OPEN SPACE,
RECREATION, CONSERVATION, OR AGRICULTURE UNLESS THE COUNTY RECEIVES THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE LANDOWNER OR PROVIDES
AN ALTERNATIVE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE DESIGNATION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 
          [01:20:05]
OR ZONING ORDINANCE ALLOWING AT LEAST ONE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING PER ACRE. 
          AND THAT SECTION CONTINUES. IT SAYS, IF THE LANDOWNER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY
ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS SUBSECTION, A COURT SHALL AWARD FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES TO THE LANDOWNER. 
          EACH COUNTY SHALL INCORPORATE THIS SUBSECTION INTO ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PROVIDE A
PROCESS FOR LANDOWNER TO RESOLVE DISCREPANCIES RELATING TO THIS SUBSECTION. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS SUBSECTION WHAT THIS STATUTE IS SAYING IS
THAT THE COUNTY IS OBLIGATED TO INCORPORATE THIS LANGUAGE INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS I'M
PRESENTING TO YOU TODAY. 
          IT IS ALSO SAYING THAT ANY PRIVATE OR STATE OR STATE OF ARIZONA TRUST LANDS SO DESIGNATED
IN THE LAND USE MAP AS OPEN SPACE, RECREATION, CONSERVATION OR AGRICULTURE ARE ESSENTIALLY CONFERRED AN EQUIVALENT
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, ALLOWING AT LEAST ONE DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE,
PRESUMABLY THROUGH A REZONING APPLICATION WHERE CURRENT UNDERLYING ZONING DIFFERS FROM THE STATUTE. OKAY, SO WHERE YAVAPAI COUNTY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS CONCERNED SUBSECTION E HAS BROAD IMPLICATIONS ON RESIDENTIAL ZONING DENSITIES FOR ANY PRIVATE OR STATE TRUST
LANDS PRIMARILY LOCATED WITHIN ANY OF THE LAND USE MAP CATEGORIES DESIGNATED AS AGRICULTURE AND TO A LESSER EXTENT,
AGRICULTURE HOSPITALITY. 
          SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF LAND USE TYPES THAT ARE COVERED UNDER THE STATUTE. 
          THE ONES THAT AFFECT US THE MOST HERE AND WE'LL WALK THROUGH THOSE,
IS THE AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY LAND USE TYPES. SO THE ZONING, THE ZONING DISTRICT MOST AFFECTED BY THE STATUTE IS THE RCU-2 ZONE,
WHICH ALLOWS ONE RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT PER TWO ACRES. WE HAVE SOME LOWER DENSITIES IN THE ZONING CODE
FOR ACRES, IN SOME CASES TEN ACRES, FIVE ACRES. BUT THEY'RE LIMITED. 
          AND BY AND LARGE, IT'S THE RCU ZONE THAT COVERS PROBABLY TWO THIRDS OF THE COUNTY'S LAND
BASE. 
          AND SO FOR THOSE AREAS WHERE THE UNDERLYING ZONING IS RCU-2 ONE UNIT PER TWO ACRES,
THOSE LANDS FOR PRIVATE AND STATE LANDS THAT THAT ARE THAT FALL UNDER THOSE LAND USE TYPES AGRICULTURE OR AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY THAT
WOULD CONFER UNDER THE STATUTE AN EQUIVALENT DENSITY OF ONE UNIT PER ONE ACRE, SO IT WOULD ALLOW FOR A HIGHER DENSITY,
ESSENTIALLY DOUBLING THE DENSITY BY ONE. 
          WE'RE LESS CONCERNED ABOUT LANDS DESIGNATED AS OPEN SPACE AND LAND USE MAP,
AS THE MAJORITY OF THOSE LANDS SUBJECT TO THIS CATEGORY IN OUR LAND USE MAP APPEAR TO BE FEDERALLY PROTECTED, COMPRISING FOREST SERVICE LANDS AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT. 
          SO THAT'S WHY THAT LAND USE CATEGORY DOESN'T FACTOR IN THAT THAT HIGHLY AS FAR AS HOW THIS
ALL AFFECTS US. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE AND I AM GOING TO TAKE US THROUGH SOME OF THE MAPS SO YOU CAN SEE THE
AFFECTED AREAS. 
          IT'S INTERESTING. THERE IS NO ONE. THERE IS NO ONE LAND USE MAP FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY. 
          THEY'RE BROKEN INTO SEGMENTS, SO YOU'RE JUST SEEING ONE OF THE SEGMENTS. 
          AND IF YOU CAN SEE THE AREA IN GREEN THAT IS DEPICTING THAT AGRICULTURAL LAND USE TYPE
CATEGORY. 
          AND ON THIS MAP, IT'S COVERING A MIXTURE OF STATE AND PRIVATE LAND THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED. 
          SO THAT'S A BIG AREA. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT AFFECTED MAPS. 
          IN ADDITION, THE STATUTE DOESN'T APPLY TO PROVE SUBDIVISIONS,
PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS OR LAND SUBJECT TO CONSERVATION EASEMENTS OR OTHER DEED RESTRICTIONS DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OF THAT, NOR DOES IT APPLY TO PROTECTED PUBLIC LANDS,
THAT IS, COUNTY PARKS, OTHER STATE AND LOCAL COUNTY PARK LANDS, OR FEDERAL LANDS. 
          AS I MENTIONED, BLM AND NATIONAL FORESTS. NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER. 
          THEY'RE ALREADY PROTECTED. AGAIN, THE AFFECTED LANDS ARE PRIVATE AND STATE LANDS IN THE
COUNTY, PRIMARILY LOCATED IN AGRICULTURE AND TO A MUCH LESSER EXTENT,
THE AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY LAND USE CATEGORIES WHERE THEY ARE UNDERLAIN BY THE ZONE BY THE RCU-2 ZONING DISTRICT FOR PROPERTIES ALREADY
SUBJECT TO AN UNDERLYING DENSITY, ALLOWING ONE UNIT PER ACRE OR HIGHER THE STATUTE HAS NO IMPACT. 
          RIGHT? YOU HAVE. YOU'VE REACHED EQUIVALENCY. FOR EXAMPLE,
MUCH OF THE LAND WITHIN THE AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY LAND USE CATEGORY IN THE VERDE 
          [01:25:06]
VALLEY, SHOWN HERE IN THIS MAP COMPRISING PAGE SPRINGS AND CORNVILLE,
ALREADY ALLOWS FOR DENSITIES OF ONE UNIT PER ACRE OR HIGHER, EXCEPT FOR SOME STATE LANDS WITHIN THE RCU-2 ZONE. 
          LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND A POINTER. DO WE HAVE A POINTER AVAILABLE IT. 
          SO I WILL POINT. SO THIS IS THIS IS JUST A SNIPPET FROM ONE OF THE LAND USE MAP SHEETS. 
          AND REAL OKAY. OKAY, SO HERE'S THE LAND USE MAP SNIPPET FOR THE VERDE VALLEY AREA. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE HERE'S PAGE SPRINGS AND CORNVILLE. 
          THE AREA IN GREEN IS DEPICTING FROM OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY
LAND USE CATEGORY. 
          AND SO THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT SCARY AT FIRST GLANCE IF YOU'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT OVERDEVELOPMENT OR DENSITY. 
          BUT THE REALITY IS WHEN YOU LOOK BACK HERE AT THIS OTHER MAP I KIND OF SUPERIMPOSED ON TOP
HERE IS THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE DESIGNATED GROWTH AREAS IN THE COUNTY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2023. 
          MUCH OF THE LAND IN THIS AREA IS EITHER ALREADY BUILT OUT AND DEVELOPED OR SUBJECT TO
RESIDENTIAL ONE ZONING. 
          SO DENSITIES THAT ACTUALLY ARE ALREADY EQUIVALENT WITH THAT MANDATED BY THE STATUTE. 
          AND THEN TAKE IT OUT A STEP FURTHER. A LOT OF THIS AREA IS ACTUALLY SURROUNDED BY NATIONAL
FOREST. 
          SO AT SECOND LOOK, IT'S NOT AS CONCERNING AS IT MAY BE. 
          THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE FOR EVERY AREA IN THE COUNTY. 
          BUT THIS IS WHY WHEN I SAY LESSER EXTENT, THE AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY LAND USE
DESIGNATION IS FAR LESS IMPACTFUL. 
          IT'S REALLY THE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE DESIGNATION THAT WE'RE PROBABLY MOST CONCERNED
ABOUT. 
          OKAY. LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND BEFORE WE JUMP DEEPER INTO THE LAND USE
MAPS. 
          AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING HOW,
WHEN AND WHERE THESE LANDS CAME TO BE SO DESIGNATED AND WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED. 
          I HAVE A STRONG SUSPICION THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN THE LAND USE MAP CATEGORY
SUBJECT TO THE STATUTE, HAD THE COUNTY BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE IMPLICATIONS ON ZONING DENSITY. 
          THE CURRENT LAND USE MAP, WHICH INCLUDES THOSE CATEGORIES SUBJECT TO THE STATUTE
AGRICULTURE, AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY, WERE CREATED AS PART OF THE RECENT TEN YEAR UPDATE TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2023, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE CONSULTANT FIRM HIRED TO OVERSEE THE PROJECT. 
          THE PRIOR LAND USE MAP AND I'LL ACTUALLY SHOW THAT TO YOU FROM 2016. 
          THAT WAS IN EFFECT BEFORE THE MOST RECENT COMP PLAN UPDATE IN 2023 DIDN'T INCLUDE ANY OF
THESE PROBLEMATIC LAND USE CATEGORIES SUBJECT TO THE STATUTE. AT BEST, IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN AN OVERSIGHT. 
          DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WAS NOT AWARE OF SUBSECTION E OF THE STATUTE OR ITS IMPLICATIONS ON
STATE AND PRIVATE LAND, NOR WAS THE PLANNING UNIT INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS. 
          IN FACT, MANY OF US WEREN'T WITH THE COUNTY AT THE TIME. 
          MY BEST GUESS IS THAT IT MIGHT HAVE SEEMED APPROPRIATE AT THE TIME TO PLACE WORKING AND
PRIVATE RANCHLANDS FARMS AND RELATED AGRITOURISM AREAS INTO THE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE MAP CATEGORIES, WITH THE INTENT OF CURBING DENSER DEVELOPMENT. 
          SEE, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO LOOK IN THE LOWER RIGHT,
THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE LAND USE TYPE CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS FOR THOSE LAND USE MAP TYPES AND THE ASSOCIATED DESCRIPTIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL LAND IN THE COMP PLAN
RECOMMENDS A PROPOSED FUTURE DENSITY OF TEN UNITS PER ACRE, WHILE THE AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY CATEGORY CALLS FOR FIVE ACRES PER UNIT. 
          SO WHAT THE COMP PLAN WAS ACTUALLY CALLING FOR WAS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THAT WHICH IS
MANDATED BY THE STATE STATUTE. 
          SO THERE WAS A REAL DISCONNECT, I THINK, OUT OF A LACK OF AWARENESS OF SUBSECTION E FROM
THE STATUTE. 
          SO UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE PLAIN LANGUAGE OF SUBSECTION E,
THE PROPOSED DENSITIES THAT THE COUNTY ASSIGNED TO THESE LAND USE CATEGORIES CONFLICT WITH THE STATUTE WHICH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BELIEVES CAN BE ADDRESSED WITH THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS. 
          I'LL PRESENT AFTER WALKING YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE RESPECTIVE LAND USE MAPS NEXT. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE UPPER RIGHT THAT'S JUST THE LEGEND THAT SHOWS THE ALL OF THE LAND
USE TYPES IN THE COUNTY, SO IT DOESN'T COVER ALL OF THE ONES AFFECTED BY SUBSECTION E. 
          OKAY, SO HERE'S A MAP FROM THE 2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          [01:30:03]
THESE ARE BASICALLY THESE ARE OUR LAND USE PLAN. 
          LAND USE PLAN MAP CATEGORIES. NONE OF THOSE ARE AFFECTED BY THE STATUTE. 
          SO WE'RE GOOD IN 2016. THE CHANGE COMES WITH THE UPDATE OKAY. 
          SO I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SEVERAL MAPS. ALL OF THE MAPS THAT THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          THESE ARE YOUR LAND USE MAPS, RIGHT? THEY DON'T CONTROL ZONING. 
          THEY SIMPLY POINT TO AS, AS AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS MEANT TO BE. 
          THE INTENT IS TO BE A GUIDANCE DOCUMENT. THE IDEA IS THAT IT'S POINTING TO FUTURE LAND USE
AND ZONING CHANGES THAT YOU MIGHT EFFECTUATE WHEN YOU GET AROUND TO UPDATING YOUR ZONING CODE, WHICH WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING RIGHT NOW. 
          SO THIS WAS REALLY MEANT AS GUIDANCE. SO THESE MAPS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE ON THE LEFT
SIDE HERE. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY,
89 PAULDEN GOING UP TO TO I-40. 
          THERE IS A MIXTURE OF PRIVATE AND STATE LANDS. 
          YOU CAN SEE OPEN SPACE AREAS IN GRAY. AND SO THE AREA AFFECTED HERE AGAIN I SHOWED YOU
THIS MAP EARLIER. 
          THIS IS THE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE CATEGORY. AND THAT'S THE ONLY LAND USE CATEGORY THAT HAS
EFFECT. 
          THIS MAP TO THE RIGHT IS JUST SORT OF AN INTERIM MAP THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON AS PART OF
THE ZONING CODE UPDATE. 
          AND IT'S KIND OF TO DEPICT WHERE WE HAVE PRESERVE LANDS. 
          RIGHT. THESE ARE YOUR FEDERAL LANDS AND A MIXTURE OF STATE OWNED LANDS AND PRIVATE LANDS. 
          THIS IS THAT CLASSIC CHECKERBOARD. AN EXAMPLE THIS IS PRIVATE LAND HERE,
THIS THIS LARGE RANCH PROPERTY. 
          IT'S COVERED. IT'S AFFECTED BY THE STATUTE BECAUSE IN FACT,
IT IS THE LAND USE TYPE IS AGRICULTURAL. 
          ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR? MADAM CHAIR, MAY I ASK. 
          DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT A.R.S HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE? IS IT NEW OR? YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION,
SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          I DON'T KNOW OFFHAND, I CAN TELL YOU THAT 11-804 THAT'S REALLY JUST A ONE PAGER OF BULLET
POINTS OF EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT WE'RE OBLIGATED TO DO AS A COUNTY WHEN WE UPDATE OUR
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS ENACTED. I IMAGINE THAT IT WAS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME THAT WE DID
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE IN 2023. 
          OKAY. SO WHEN THIS AND MAYBE THE FOLLOW UP QUESTION COULD BE WHEN THIS ISSUE CAME TO OUR
ATTENTION? YOU KNOW, THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU DO AN UPDATE TO YOUR CODE IS YOU'RE GOING TO BE
LOOKING, YOU'RE GOING TO BE REVIEWING ALL YOUR COUNTY DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING YOUR COMP PLAN TO IDENTIFY ISSUES. COMPLIANCE ISSUES IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM. 
          IN FACT, A TOPIC OF JOINT SESSION DISCUSSION IS GOING TO BE WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM ALL OUR
INTERVIEWS FROM FROM YOU WITH STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, PLANNING AND ZONING, AND THE REVIEW OF ALL THE COUNTY DOCUMENTS AND BRINGING THINGS UP TO
COMPLIANCE. 
          SO IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUMP INTO AREAS WHERE WE HAVE LANGUAGE THAT'S
THAT'S OUTDATED. 
          SO THIS IS HOW THAT CAME TO OUR ATTENTION EARLY ON. 
          THIS IS ALSO WHY THAT WE WERE REALLY CAREFUL IN THAT RFP,
THAT IT WASN'T JUST BRINGING ON THE SERVICES OF LOGAN SIMPSON TO UPDATE THE CODE, BUT THE SUBCONSULTANTS THAT WERE HIRED AS PART OF THAT PROCESS AND THAT RFP,
WHICH INVOLVED BRINGING ON JORDAN LAW SO THAT ANYTHING THAT WE PROPOSE TO DO, WE CAN RUN IT THROUGH THAT LEGAL FILTER. SO WE AVOID THESE KINDS OF MISSTEPS. 
          THANK YOU. AND I ASK WHEN BECAUSE I FIND IT TO BE A NONSENSICAL STATE STATUTE [LAUGHTER]
AND HONESTLY, AN ASSAULT ON LOCAL CONTROL. SO I WONDERED WHO MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT EARNESTLY. 
          BUT YEAH, THOSE, I GUESS, ARE MORE JUST COMMENTS. 
          I THINK THERE'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT HERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. 
          OKAY, SO HERE AGAIN ON THE LEFT IS A SEGMENT,
A SNIPPET OF THE OF THE LAND USE MAP. 
          IF I WAS JUST TO THROW ALL THE BIG MAPS, ALL 6 OR 7 OF THEM,
IT WOULDN'T BE VERY LEGIBLE. 
          SO HERE'S THE WILLIAMSON VALLEY AREA. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT. 
          IT'S IT'S BOUNDED BY A HECK OF A LOT OF FEDERALLY PROTECTED LAND. 
          YOU KNOW, IN THE CENTER, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S THERE'S GOING TO BE IN THE CENTER THIS
IS A MIX OF PRIVATE AND STATE LANDS. 
          NOT ALL OF IT, BUT SOME OF IT IS AGAIN COVERED BY THAT AGRICULTURAL LAND USE TYPE. 
          AND AGAIN, MAYBE THE THOUGHT PROCESS AT THE TIME IS THOSE ARE AREAS WHERE MAYBE WE WANTED
TO, TO REVISIT ZONING PERHAPS TO DISCOURAGE OVERDEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY AREAS ABUTTING
MINGUS MOUNTAIN. 
          THAT WOULD MIGHT BE LOGICAL OR JUST WORKING,
YOU KNOW, THE WORKING LAND BASE, OUR RANCHES AND OUR FARMS. SO THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE THOUGHT PROCESS. LET'S SEE IF I CAN TEASE IT OUT. 
          YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THESE THIS SHAPE HERE, TRANSPOSING IT OVER HERE. 
          IT'S IT REALLY IT COVERS A MIXTURE OF OF STATE AND AND PRIVATE LAND. 
          [01:35:09]
OKA MOVING ON. SO, OH, HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY. 
          THIS IS THE 69 CORRIDOR. SO THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER MAP THAT MIGHT BE REALLY KIND OF
ALARMING TO SOME EXTENT. 
          LIKE HERE'S THIS SCENIC CORRIDOR THAT CONNECTS FROM DEWEY-HUMBOLDT AREA,
PRESCOTT VALLEY TO THE HIGHWAY AND CHERRY. 
          AND THIS WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT ZONING HERE WOULD BE ONE UNIT PER ACRE. 
          BUT WHEN YOU REALLY KIND OF TEASE OUT AND LOOK AT WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON WITH THE LAND
BASE, WHAT THE OWNERSHIP IS MUCH OF THAT'S EITHER DEVELOPED OR IN FEDERAL OWNERSHIP,
CERTAINLY THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR, FOR SOME INFILL DEVELOPMENT, BUT BUT LARGELY A LOT OF THAT'S ALREADY COVERED IN THE
NATIONAL FOREST. 
          SO WHY THAT WAS EVEN PUT IN IN THE FIRST PLACE IS SORT OF ANYBODY'S GUESS,
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REALLY GET YOU TO TO WHAT THE INTENT MIGHT BE. 
          AND MAYBE THE INTENT WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE WANT TO SHOWCASE
AGRICULTURE OR LIVESTOCK FARMING, MAYBE BOUTIQUE RESORTS, WE DON'T KNOW. AND WE BEING THE STATE. 
          SO WE'RE REACTING TO THE STATE STATUTE. SO NOT BEING ONE OF THE BECAUSE DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES CERTAINLY THE PLANNING UNIT HAD VERY LIMITED INVOLVEMENT. 
          WHEN WE WERE UP WHEN THE COUNTY WAS UPDATING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          I, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE THOUGHT PROCESS IS AS FAR AS WHY THESE AREAS,
THESE LAND USE TYPES WERE DESIGNATED IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COUNTY BECAUSE LIKE SUPERVISOR CHECK SAID THAT THERE A LOT OF THEM ARE REALLY NONSENSICAL. 
          SO OTHER THAN, LIKE HAVING AN INTERVIEW WITH THE,
WITH THE CONSULTANT FIRM THAT WAS TASKED TO SORT OF DIRECT AND PROVIDE THE GUIDANCE IN THIS PROCESS, WE DON'T KNOW, REALLY KNOW WHAT THE RHYME OR REASON FOR SOME OF THESE
DECISIONS WERE. 
          IN HINDSIGHT, THEY DON'T APPEAR TO MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THE GREAT IRONY BEING IS THAT WHAT WE CAN TELL FROM THE LAND USE CATEGORY
TYPE DESCRIPTIONS IS THEY WERE ACTUALLY POINTING TO A LOWER DENSITY. 
          WHAT WE GOT, IRONICALLY, WAS THIS STATUTE THAT IS ACTUALLY CALLING FOR HIGHER DENSITY. 
          CHAIR WHEN YOU'RE SAYING THEY YOU'RE SAYING YAVAPAI COUNTY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? YEAH WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THOUGHT LIKE, YOU KNOW WHY SOME AREAS OF PRIVATE AND STATE OWNED LAND WERE PLACED IN THIS
AGRICULTURAL LAND USE CATEGORY, AND WHY OTHERS WEREN'T. ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MA. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS A LAND USE MAP FROM OUR 2023 ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          YOU KNOW, WHY WERE THESE AREAS PUT INTO THIS AGRICULTURAL LAND USE MAP OVERLAY AND OTHERS
WEREN'T? IT'S A MIXTURE OF PRIVATE OF PRIVATE LAND AND STATE LAND. 
          AND AGAIN, ALL WE CAN LOOK TO IS WHAT THE COMP PLAN SAYS,
WHICH ARE THE CATEGORIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LAND USE TYPES AND ALL OF THE ONES FOR AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL HOSPITALITY. 
          THESE ARE REALLY THE ONLY ONES THAT REALLY AFFECT US PER THE STATUTE. 
          ALL OF THOSE, WE'RE CALLING FOR A MUCH LOWER DENSITIES. 
          RIGHT? SO INSTEAD OF IT BEING ONE UNIT PER TWO ACRES OR ONE UNIT PER ONE ACRES,
THEY WERE CALLING FOR FIVE AND TEN ACRES. 
          SO FOR MUCH LOWER DENSITIES. AND SO FROM THAT LENS IT'S IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE IN THAT
GIVEN THE WATER SCARCITY ISSUES, GIVEN THAT, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE IN RURAL COMMUNITIES? GIVEN THAT SOME AREAS ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AND PEOPLE WANT TO PROTECT THE RURAL
LIFESTYLE THE THOUGHT MAY MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT THE TIME THAT THESE ARE AREAS THAT WHEN WE DO GET AROUND TO UPDATING OUR ZONING CODE, WHICH TOUCHES ZONING DENSITIES AND THE ZONING MAP, THOSE MIGHT BE AREAS THAT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE TO,
TO LOOK AT LOWER DENSITIES. 
          AND WHEN I SAY LOWER DENSITIES, MEANING THAT MAYBE IT'S ONE UNIT PER FIVE ACRES OR ONE
UNIT FOR TEN, THAT'S WHAT'S BEING REFLECTED IN THE COMP PLAN. 
          IT'S JUST THAT THAT DOESN'T FLY WITH THE STATUTE. 
          THE STATUTE SAYS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENTLY. 
          SO IT'S A IT'S KIND OF A MONUMENTAL DISCONNECT. 
          I JUST WANT TO I'M JUST QUESTIONING. I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT WITH THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN AND NOT UNDERSTANDING SOME OF THE BACKGROUND THAT YOU KNOW, MADE THE DECISIONS AND GAVE US THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WE HAVE TODAY. 
          AND YET YOU'RE USING THAT PLAN FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AND ZONING CODE UPDATE. 
          I MEAN, TO ME, THAT'S A LITTLE CONCERNING THAT,
AND I WON'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT THANK YOU 
          [01:40:04]
SO JUST IT MIGHT BE VALUABLE JUST TO RESPOND TO THAT. 
          THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS REALLY MEANT AS GUIDANCE ONLY,
EXCEPT FOR THAT WHICH IS UNDER THE EFFECT OF, OF THIS SUBSECTION E. TODAY, WHAT'S BEFORE US IS REALLY WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO INTEGRATE
THIS THIS LANGUAGE, SUBSECTION E, INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING TODAY. 
          SO CERTAINLY THERE'S GOING TO BE LOTS OF DISCUSSIONS LOOKING AT BOTH LEGAL QUESTIONS AND
LAND USE QUESTIONS ABOUT BECAUSE SUPERVISORS JENKINS IS RIGHT, TO THE EXTENT THAT YOUR ZONING CODE AND YOUR ZONING MAP
SHOULD BE GUIDED BY THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          BUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT NO PLAN IS EVER PERFECT. 
          IN FACT, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TELLS US THAT THE COUNTY OUGHT TO BE CONSIDERING UPDATES
AND AMENDMENTS EVERY YEAR. 
          AND SO, YEAH, WE'VE BUMPED INTO AN ISSUE HERE. 
          WE KNEW WE WOULD. THAT'S PART OF THE REVIEW PROCESS THAT LOGAN SIMPSON HAS DONE. 
          SO THIS IS ONE OF THE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE FIRST BIGGER ONES THAT WE HAVE TO TACKLE. 
          BUT AS FAR AS TO THE EXTENT THAT IT COMMITS US TO ZONING,
THESE ARE ALL OTHER QUESTIONS THAT ARE COME THAT ARE GOING TO COME LATER. 
          NO DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AS FAR AS ZONING AT THIS TIME. 
          IN FACT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A JOINT SESSION WHERE SOME OF THESE TOPICS MIGHT BE
DISCUSSED. YOU KNOW, I WOULD PREFER TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE BACKGROUND HERE BEFORE VOTING TO APPROVE THESE,
EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE SORT OF COMPELLED TO DO THAT, TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. 
          SO I WOULD PREFER TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS ITEM UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING,
UNLESS THAT PRESENTS SERIOUS CHALLENGES. 
          I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          SO I'D LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE DISCUSSION, I GUESS,
WITH MR. BRENNAN. SO THESE ARE HEARING ITEMS, AND I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER ONE RIGHT AFTER THIS. 
          AGAIN MINOR TEXT AMENDMENTS. MINOR. I GRAB THAT IN THE ONE WE'RE ON MINOR. 
          CAN YOU HELP ME OUT WITH THIS HERE? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A LOT. 
          SEEMS LIKE MAJOR. SOMEHOW THERE'S MAJOR CONVERSATION HAPPENING HERE,
AND I'M NOT GETTING THE MINOR, SORRY. I SEE YOU SMILING, BUT I'M JUST REALLY BEING JUST HONEST. 
          WELL, THANK YOU, CHAIR CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, SUPERVISORS. YES AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT BEING
REFERRED TO AS A MINOR VERSUS WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED HERE TODAY. PROCEDURALLY, IF THE BOARD WISHES TO TABLE THIS ITEM,
YOU CAN DO SO. 
          AS YOU NOTED, CHAIR, THIS IS SET FOR A HEARING. 
          SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS APPEARED TODAY IN
ORDER TO COMMENT ON THE ITEM SO THAT THAT INFORMATION CAN BE COLLECTED AND CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD WHEN IT MAKES ITS DECISION AT A LATER DATE. 
          BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S NOTHING TO PREVENT THE BOARD FROM TABLING OR EXCUSE ME,
CONTINUING THIS ITEM TO A DATE SPECIFIC. 
          OKAY AND SO AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I REALIZE WE'RE ONLY ON THIS ITEM. 
          BUT AGAIN, AS I LOOK TO ITEM NUMBER TWO, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALMOST MIGHT GO DOWN THE SAME
PATH. 
          BUT IF I NEED TO GO IN ORDER, I'LL DO THE HEARING AND I JUST AM AGAIN,
MINOR. 
          AND TWO IS A DISTINCT ITEM, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE WILL BE THE SAME OR SIMILAR
CONCERNS, BUT I GUESS WE WILL FIND THAT OUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          OKAY THANK YOU. CHAIR FINE. AND I HAVE CONSULTED WITH THE ATTORNEY BECAUSE I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE WORDING ON
BOTH NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO. BUT MY QUESTION TO THE ATTORNEY IS HOW DO WE WHAT DO YOU FORESEE IN US? HOW ARE WE GOING TO RESOLVE THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ASKING TODAY? DO YOU SEE A WORK SESSION? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND,
HOW DO WE GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE UNDERSTAND BOTH OF THESE? BECAUSE I AGREE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A WORK SESSION OR WHAT IS IT,
BUT I HAVE ISSUES WITH WORDING ON BOTH OF THESE. 
          SO THANK YOU, CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, SUPERVISOR. IF THE. 
          SO FIRST OF ALL, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION,
HOW DO WE ADDRESS THE ISSUES? MY THOUGHT WOULD BE TO ALLOW TIME FOR SUPERVISORS TO MEET WITH INDIVIDUALS FROM
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO GET THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE A DECISION. IF THERE'S STILL NOT A LEVEL OF COMFORT AT THAT POINT,
THEN IT MAY BE APPROPRIATE TO BRING THE MATTER BACK FOR A STUDY SESSION OR SOME OTHER FORM OF PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD,
BUT I THINK THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO HAVE A MEETING OFFLINE TO SEE IF BOARD MEMBERS CAN 
          [01:45:07]
GET THE INFORMATION THEY NEED AND DEVELOP A COMFORT LEVEL,
AND IF THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN TERMS OF WORDING OR THE WAY THIS IS BEING PRESENTED, THAT CAN BE HANDLED, AND THEN IT COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD IN AN
APPROPRIATE FORM. 
          THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THE PROCESS FORWARD THANK YOU. 
          AND I AGREE WITH MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME GRASPING THIS. 
          ANOTHER THING, IT BRINGS UP THE NEED FOR BETTER AV SO WE CAN AT LEAST READ WHAT'S ON THE
SCREEN UP THERE. 
          OKAY BECAUSE WERE HEARING WORDS LIKE INCREASED DENSITY,
WHICH I THINK EVERYONE'S TRYING TO AVOID AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND MAYBE I THINK WE DO NEED SOME ONE ON ONE TIME. 
          OKAY. AND MIGHT I SUGGEST, CAN WE. WOULD YOU SEND THIS PRESENTATION TO US SO THAT WE CAN
REVIEW THOSE MAPS A LITTLE BIT MORE? ABSOLUTELY I'D BE HAPPY TO. OKAY, SO WE DO HAVE A HEARING ITEM AT THIS POINT I DO NEED TO
SEE DO I HAVE ANY ANYTHING RECEIVED FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE IN REGARDS TO THIS ITEM? NO, MA'AM, NO COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED FOR HEARING ITEM 1 OR 2 AND VICE CHAIR? NONE. OKAY, I WILL REACH OUT TO THE AUDIENCE TO MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T
SOMEONE HERE WAITING TO TALK TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. 
          OKAY, I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING EITHER. ALL RIGHT SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE THIS HEARING
ITEM. 
          I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO TABLE THIS. CAN WE CALL FOR THE VOTE,
PLEASE? EXCUSE ME CHAIR. OH I'M SORRY IS THAT TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING? YEAH, I CAN CLARIFY. 
          MY MOTION TO TABLE THIS UNTIL OUR OCTOBER 15TH BOARD MEETING. 
          I'LL AMEND MY SECOND. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU,
SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          ALL RIGHT. WE'VE GOT CLARIFICATION THERE. CLERK OF THE BOARD. 
          CAN WE CALL FOR THE VOTE NOW? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE BOARD AWARE THAT I WILL BE OUT OF STATE AT THAT NEXT HEARING. 
          OKAY. I CAN AMEND MY MOTION [LAUGHTER] TO TABLE THIS HEARING ITEM UNTIL OUR NOVEMBER BOARD
MEETING? OUR NOVEMBER 1ST, OUR FIRST BOARD MEETING IN NOVEMBER? I'LL AMEND MY SECOND. ALL RIGHTY THEN. ARE WE READY? OKAY WE CALL FOR THE VOTE VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. 
          SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. THE ITEM HAS BEEN CONTINUED TO NOVEMBER 5TH,
2025. 
          OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, CAN I SUGGEST A QUICK TEN MINUTES? ABSOLUTELY. YEAH WE NEED TEN MINUTES THANK YOU. 
          WE'LL BE BACK. 
          MADAM CHAIR, IT'S 10:57. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. 
          WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK INTO THIS HEARING ITEM. 
          SO WE JUST TABLED HEARING ITEM NUMBER 1. WE'VE CLOSED THAT ONE OFF. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO GO ON TO HEARING ITEM NUMBER 2. 
          [2.  Development Services - Approve minor text amendments to Section 10.0 (Administration and Implementation) of the Yavapai County Comprehensive Plan 2032 to clarify procedures and criteria for processing major and minor amendments, as well as technical revisions. Application No. PLA25-000075.]
DOES SAY APPROVE MINOR TEXT AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 10.0. 
          ALL RIGHT MATT. GOOD MORNING, CHAIR MALLORY AND VICE CHAIR COMPTON AND MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD. 
          MY NAME IS MATT BLAKE, YOUR PLANNING MANAGER WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. 
          DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF IS REQUESTING A MINOR PROCEDURAL TEXT. 
          AMENDMENTS TO THE YAVAPAI COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
SPECIFICALLY SECTION 10, WHICH DEALS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AMENDMENTS. AND THE PURPOSES VARIOUS PROCEDURAL AMENDMENTS ARE NEEDED TO CLARIFY AND
SIMPLIFY OUR PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING MINOR AND MAJOR AMENDMENTS, AS WELL AS TECHNICAL,
ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNICAL REVISIONS TO THE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18TH. 
          THE COMMISSION MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE, WHICH WAS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          SO THE ISSUE BEFORE US IS THAT THE CRITERIA THAT ARE SET FORTH IN THE PROCEDURES FOR
DETERMINING FOR STAFF TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT AN APPLICATION, A REQUEST FROM AN APPLICANT TO,
TO PROCESS AN AMENDMENT. 
          LET'S SAY IT'S COVERING THEIR PROPERTY, RIGHT? THE PROPERTY, THE ZONING SAYS ONE THING THEY WANT TO DO. 
          THEY WANT TO EFFECTUATE A REZONING. BUT IN ORDER TO DO SO,
TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT TYPE OF PERMIT REQUEST, 
          [01:50:03]
THEY NEED TO THEY NEED TO ASK PERMISSION TO CHANGE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          SO IT'S REALLY ABOUT PEOPLE'S PRIVATE PROPERTIES AND AREAS WHERE THE LAND USE MAP TYPES IN
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALL FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THAT WHICH THEY WANT TO APPROACH TO PROPOSE. SO IN THAT WAY IT'S A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO THE USE PERMIT PROCESS IN
THAT IN ALL THESE CASES THE BOARD HAS DISCRETION. 
          BUT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IS THAT THE CRITERIA THAT ALLOW STAFF TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR
NOT IT SHOULD BE A MINOR AMENDMENT OR A MAJOR, AND REALLY, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS WITH A MINOR,
YOU CAN COME AN APPLICANT CAN COME BEFORE THE BOARD, THE COMMISSION, AND THEN BEFORE THE BOARD ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. 
          WITH A MAJOR, IT'S THAT WE IS THAT STAFF SETS THE DATE TO HEAR MAJORS ALL AT ONCE AT ONE
TIME, AT ONE POINT IN THE YEAR. SO THAT'S REALLY THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY DIFFERENCE HERE. 
          THAT'S BEFORE US. THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THE CRITERIA IS VERY UNCLEAR. 
          AND IT HAS VERY LIMITED APPLICABILITY TO THE EXTENT THAT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERING ON
AND ON WITH POTENTIAL WOULD BE APPLICANTS IS THAT THEY'LL COME TO US WITH POTENTIAL PROPOSALS TO ASK FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMP PLAN SUBJECT TO THEIR PROPERTY,
AND WE CAN'T PROCESS THEIR APPLICATION BECAUSE NONE OF THE CRITERIA WORK. THEY'RE EITHER UNCLEAR OR THEY'RE JUST UNWORKABLE. 
          THERE'S SUCH LIMITED SCOPE. ANYTHING UNDER TEN ACRES IS AUTOMATICALLY IS A MAJOR. 
          AND SO WE'RE NOT ABLE TO PROCESS THOSE APPLICATIONS. 
          SO AT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WE TRY TO BE A BIT MORE USER FRIENDLY AT LEAST TO ALLOW
APPLICATIONS TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          AND SO WHAT THIS HAS CAUSED IS APPLICANTS ARE NOW INSTEAD COMING BEFORE YOU FOR USE
PERMITS IN THE ALTERNATIVE, WHICH IS REALLY A LESS APPROPRIATE AND PRECISE PROCESS. 
          CERTAIN TYPES OF REQUESTS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR A USE PERMIT,
BUT SOME REALLY MAKE SENSE FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMP PLAN, PARTICULARLY AS PART OF A REZONING. AND SO THIS IS THE POSITION WHERE WE FIND
OURSELVES WHERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THIS THERE'S THIS REQUIREMENT IN THE STATUTES THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
ALLOW APPLICANTS TO COME FORWARD AND MAKE REQUESTS. 
          THE BOARD ULTIMATELY HAS DISCRETION TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE. 
          BUT BUT WE CAN'T PROCESS THEM. AND SO THAT'S WHAT SORT OF LEADS US TO THIS. 
          AND IT TIES IN TO WITH REZONING REQUESTS. THIS IS WHY YOU'RE NOT SEEING THESE. 
          IT BECOMES A BIGGER PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LAND USE MAP HAS ITS ISSUES. 
          IT LARGELY REFLECTS EITHER UNDERLYING ZONING OR SOME OF THE MISAPPLIED LAND USE TYPES THAT
WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT. 
          AND THEN THE ZONING MAP HASN'T BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY UPDATED SINCE 1968. 
          TWO THIRDS OF THE COUNTY LAND BASE IS RCU II. 
          SO AND MOST OF THE MOST OF THE LAND BASE IS PURPOSED FOR LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. 
          THAT'S IT. AND WE'RE GROWING COUNTY. SO WHAT THAT'S FORCING PEOPLE TO DO IS TO ASK FOR USE
PERMITS. 
          AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE SEE SO MANY,
BECAUSE OUR LAND USE MAP AND OUR ZONING CODE AND ZONING MAP HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP TO THE REALITIES ON THE GROUND. OKAY SO BECAUSE IT'S REALLY NOT A LOT OF LANGUAGE HERE,
I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW YOU IN BOLD AND BOLD UNDERLINE IS THE PROPOSED CHANGES. A LOT OF THIS IS JUST TO KIND OF THE COMP PLAN,
THE WAY THAT IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE RECENT UPDATE, IT REALLY DIDN'T INCLUDE A LOT OF THE LANGUAGE OF THE HOW TO? WHAT'S THE PROCESS? WELL, THANKFULLY, THE PROCESS,
MUCH OF WHICH IS SET FORTH IN THE STATUTE. 
          AND SO, RATHER THAN MAKING IT SUCH A MYSTERY AND CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ASK APPLICANT
QUESTIONS, WHAT WE TRIED TO DO HERE WAS JUST KIND OF GET TO THE MEAT OF IT AND,
YOU KNOW, PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICITY SO APPLICANTS KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE IF THEY WANT TO HAVE THEIR REQUESTS CONSIDERED. 
          SO IN SECTION 10.2 AGAIN IN BOLD, WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONS JUST KIND OF CLEAN UP. 
          THIS IS REALLY KIND OF THE INTRODUCTORY SECTION FOR EFFECTUATING REQUESTS FOR AMENDMENTS. 
          AGAIN, MAJOR AND MINOR AMENDMENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED. 
          MAJOR AMENDMENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED AT ONLY ONE TIME A YEAR AT A DATE THAT'S SET BY STAFF. 
          MINOR AMENDMENTS AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. WE TALK ABOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS. 
          AGAIN, IT'S A TWO STEP PROCESS. IT GOES BEFORE THE COMMISSION,
BEFORE IT COMES BEFORE YOU, THE BOARD. MAJOR AMENDMENTS MAY ONLY BE APPROVED BY AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF AT LEAST TWO
THIRDS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARDS. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS ALL LANGUAGE THAT SIMPLY JUST REFLECTS WHAT THE STATUTE SAYS,
AND OUR ATTEMPT TO ALWAYS BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT THE STATUTES REQUIRE. 
          EXCUSE ME, MA'AM, MAY I ASK, MAY I INTERRUPT FOR A MINUTE? I JUST NEED TO GET MYSELF ON TRACK HERE. SO MY. 
          I'M LOOKING AT SECTION 10.0. IS THAT WHAT EVERYBODY HAS 10.0 ON THEIR PAPER? 
          [01:55:07]
BECAUSE I SEE 10.2 UP HERE. SO AM I JUST MISSING SOMETHING OR WHAT? WHAT AM I WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HERE? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. 
          SO SECTION 10 IS JUST SORT OF THE OVERARCHING SECTION. 
          AND SO REALLY I'M JUST GETTING TO A COUPLE OF THE SUBSECTIONS THAT WE'RE MAKING CHANGES
TO. 
          SO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS INTERNALLY AND OF COURSE WITH ALL OUR PROCESSES WE TALK TO
COUNCIL AND YOU KNOW, TRY TO STRUCTURE THIS CORRECTLY. THIS IS JUST SORT OF THE GUIDANCE OF HOW BEST TO PRESENT
THAT. 
          AND I'M SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION. SO IT'S JUST A FEW OF THE SUBSECTIONS THAT ARE UNDER
SECTION 10 OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          OKAY. ALL RIGHT THEN. OKAY. OKAY SO WE TALK ABOUT PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS. 
          TALK ABOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS. AGAIN, MAJOR AMENDMENTS SHALL FOLLOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF A.R.S
11-805 (J). 
          AND SHALL ONLY BE CONSIDERED AT A SINGLE YEARLY PUBLIC HEARING DESCRIBED IN SECTION 10.2.1
OF THE PLAN. 
          ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNICAL REVISIONS. THOSE ARE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD BY
STAFF, PERHAPS AT THE BEHEST OF THE BOARD OR THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR. 
          THEY CAN BE HEARD IN ANY TIME, SIMILAR TO A MINOR AMENDMENT. 
          OKAY, SO AGAIN, AT THE OUTSET I MENTIONED THAT WE'VE GOT SOME REAL ISSUES WITH THE
CRITERIA. 
          SO THESE THIS IS THE CRITERIA FOR MAJOR AMENDMENTS. 
          AND WE'LL GO TO THE MINOR AMENDMENTS. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE. 
          I'M SHOWING YOU THE PROPOSED DELETIONS. THEN WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU IN THE NEXT SLIDE
WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE IT WITH. 
          THE PROBLEM BEING HERE IS YOU'VE GOT A WHOLE LOT OF SCENARIOS THAT DON'T REALLY OFFER A
PATH FORWARD FOR MOST APPLICANTS. 
          WE TALK ABOUT GOING FROM ONE LAND USE TYPE TO ANOTHER. 
          AND IT CITES LAND USE TYPES THAT REALLY DON'T EXIST. 
          IT TALKS ABOUT CALCULATING LAND USE CATEGORY DENSITY. 
          THERE IS NO PROCESS FOR THAT SET FORTH IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 
          AND SO WHERE THAT LEAVES US IS THAT YOU TIE YOURSELF IN KNOTS TRYING TO ASSIST AN
APPLICANT AND NONUNDERSTANDING WHICH OF THESE SCENARIOS MIGHT APPLY FOR A MAJOR. AND IT'S JUST NONE OF THEM ARE SENSICAL. 
          I THINK IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS LANGUAGE MAYBE IS PART OF THE UPDATE GOT LIFTED FROM
SOMEBODY ELSE'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BECAUSE IT HAS NO ESSENTIAL NEXUS WITH OUR COMP PLAN. AND SO THAT'S ONE REASON WHY IT'S SO CONFUSING. 
          I MEAN, I'M JUST AGAIN, I'M JUST GUESSING. BECAUSE IT JUST IT DOESN'T GET US TO WHERE WE
NEED TO GO. 
          YOU'LL SEE IN ORANGE, THERE'S A COUPLE, A COUPLE OF THESE THAT WE ARE CARRYING FORWARD
WITH SOMEWHAT CHANGED LANGUAGE, BUT THE AREAS ARE HIGHLIGHTED ARE JUST SHOWING LIKE A LOT OF THIS,
A LOT OF THESE SCENARIOS ARE POINTING TO PROCESSES OR LAND USE TYPES THAT THAT DON'T EVEN EXIST IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU AGAIN,
BUT I'M GOING TO REACH OUT TO MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS AND ASK IF WE COULD POSSIBLY DO WITH ITEM TWO WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH ITEM ONE,
BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THAT AND I AGAIN, I REALLY I NEED SOME MORE TIME ON THIS. 
          THIS IS NOT AT ALL WHAT I HAD THOUGHT. SO MR. BRENNAN IF I CAN ASK OF THE BOARD TO HELP ME WITH THIS WOULD THAT BE OKAY FOR US TO DO THE
HEARING ON THIS ONE LIKE WE JUST DID ON ONE? YES CHAIR,
VICE CHAIR, SUPERVISORS WITH ONE CAVEAT. 
          I KNOW THAT SUPERVISOR JENKINS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AT THE FIRST MEETING IN NOVEMBER,
AND THIS ONE COULD BE CONTINUED TO OCTOBER 15TH INSTEAD, AND WE COULD MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE TO MEET WITH BOARD MEMBERS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TO
GO OVER THE ITEM AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE ANY CONCERNS THAT THEY MAY HAVE AND THEN ADDRESS THEM WHEN THE ITEM COMES BACK FOR
CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD. 
          CHAIR WHICH IS WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE PRESENT WHEN THIS COMES BACK RATHER THAN THE 5TH,
IF WE CAN MOVE IT TO THAT SECOND MEETING. 
          THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT? SUPERVISOR CHECK. NO, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT BUT I DO WANT TO SPEAK GENERALLY
THAT I DO SUPPORT THIS EFFORT. 
          I THINK YAVAPAI COUNTY BROADLY OVER USES THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,
AND I DO THINK TIMING'S AN INTEGRAL REASON WHY. 
          AND SO I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT THERE'S AN EFFORT TO,
TO PROVIDE SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD. 
          [02:00:05]
SO GENERALLY, I'M, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THIS EFFORT,
AND I'M HAPPY TO LOOK CLOSELY AT LANGUAGE AND, AND GIVE THE BOARD THAT TIME. OKAY. AND I ABSOLUTELY DO APPRECIATE THE FACT BECAUSE I
AGREE. 
          USE PERMITS ARE BEING UTILIZED WAY TOO MUCH. SO I THINK THERE'S JUST A LOT HERE. 
          AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS. 
          AND I'M SORRY, SUPERVISOR JENKINS. WHAT WOULD BE THAT DATE? WHEN WOULD WHAT WOULD WE RUN? MADAM CLERK? MADAM CLERK,
WHAT IS THE SECOND WEDNESDAY? IN OKAY, SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE ITEM O HEARING ITEM NUMBER 2 TILL NOVEMBER 19TH. OKAY. SECOND. SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND,
BUT IT IS A HEARING ITEM. 
          SO BEFORE I CALL FOR THE VOTE, I NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE. 
          DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS NUMBER? ITEM NUMBER TWO HEARING ITEM. ANYBODY HERE TO TALK TO THAT? OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY GREEN SHEETS? NO GREEN SHEETS. 
          OKAY AND CLERK OF THE BOARD WITH THE STATUES? THANK YOU, THANK YOU SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. 
          I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE WITH THIS. THIS IS REALLY JUST KIND OF A CLEANUP. 
          OKAY THANK YOU. I'M SORRY, CLERK OF THE BOARD? THE BOARD DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM. 
          OKAY THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          COULD WE CALL FOR THE VOTE ON THIS, PLEASE? SUPERVISOR CHECK. 
          YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. CHAIR MALLORY. YES. 
          THE ITEM HAS BEEN CONTINUED TO NOVEMBER 19TH,
2025. 
          OKAY, FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MA'AM. GOOD MORNING JEREMY. 
          GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU? I'M OKAY HEARING ITEM NUMBER 3,

Building Codes to become effective on January 1, 2026. ]
OKAY. GIVE ME JUST A MOMENT HERE. THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING CHAIR MALLORY,
VICE CHAIR COMPTON, BOARD MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. MY NAME IS JEREMY DYE. 
          I'M YOUR DIRECTOR FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. AND ALSO WITH ME HERE IS CHIEF BUILDING
OFFICIAL WARREN COLVIN. 
          JUST TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BUILDING CODE HERE. 
          SO TODAY WE'RE JUST GOING TO REVIEW THE BUILDING CODE AS IT'S REQUESTED AND ALSO REQUEST
APPROVAL OF THE FOR ADOPTION OF THE BUILDING CODES HERE. 
          SO OUR PURPOSE HERE THIS MORNING IS REALLY JUST TO PROVIDE KIND OF A HIGH LEVEL REVIEW OF
THE PROPOSED BUILDING CODES, WHY THEY'RE IMPORTANT, WHY WE'RE SEEKING TO ADOPT THIS NEXT ITERATION OF BUILDING CODES. 
          AND BUILDING OFFICIAL WARREN CAN CAN GET INTO ANY OF THE TECHNICAL DETAILS IF THOSE
QUESTIONS ARISE. 
          SO WE HAVE A BRIEF POWERPOINT PRESENTATION JUST TO PRESENT AS WELL ALONG WITH THAT. 
          SO AND IN ADDITION TO I'D LIKE TO REALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARD WORK OF OUR YAVAPAI COUNTY
OR YOUR YAVAPAI COUNTY BUILDING SAFETY ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD, WHO THEY ARE THE PUBLIC BODY THAT REVIEWS THESE TYPES OF CODES
AND MAKES INTERPRETATIONS, AND THEY'VE PROVIDED US A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK ON THE CODES AS THEY
ARE. 
          SO HERE TODAY IS BOARD CHAIRMAN BILL OTWELL,
VICE CHAIR CHUCK MERRITT. 
          WE ALSO HAVE BOARD MEMBERS. WE ALSO HAVE BOARD MEMBERS,
DOCTOR MARK HOKENESS AND MR. MIKE ENDERS THERE HE IS. WELCOME ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE COMMISSIONER RAY PAEZ HERE FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION'S DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION AS WELL, SHOULD THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THERE. SO JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARD WORK
THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, AND PARTICULARLY OUR BUILDING SAFETY TEAM, HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY FOR THE LAST YEAR TO
REALLY LOOK AT THESE CODES AND IDENTIFY WHAT REALLY WORKS BEST FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY. I UNDERSTAND ALSO YOU RECEIVED A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE YCCA
AS WELL. 
          COMMISSIONER EXCUSE ME, BOARD MEMBER CHUCK MERRITT OR MIKE ENDERS MAY WISH TO SPEAK TO
THAT AS WELL. 
          JUST MOVING INTO OUR OUR PRESENTATION HERE. SO AGAIN,
THE HIGH LEVEL APPROACH, WHY ARE BUILDING CODES IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS HERE. 
          AND ESSENTIALLY IT IS PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. 
          THE BUILDING CODES ARE ESTABLISHED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY,
FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BUILDING COLLAPSE. 
          [02:05:07]
AND THESE AND PROTECTION AGAINST NATURAL DISASTERS. 
          THERE ARE ECONOMIC BENEFITS, OF COURSE, SUCH AS LOWER INSURANCE PREMIUMS. IT PROMOTES ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL. 
          AND ALSO ENCOURAGING SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS. SO WITH EACH ITERATION OF BUILDING CODES,
AS MATERIALS CHANGE, TECHNOLOGIES CHANGE, METHODOLOGIES CHANGE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WE SEE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS
IN THOSE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AS WELL. 
          ENSURES PROPER SANITATION, REDUCES EXPOSURES TO TOXINS,
MOLDS AND IMPROVES INDOOR AIR QUALITY. 
          SO AND AGAIN PROVIDING THOSE UNIFORM STANDARDS REFLECTING MODERN BUILDING PRACTICES. 
          SO A LOT OF, A LOT OF BENEFITS TO ADOPTING CURRENT BUILDING CODES. 
          A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT THE BUILDING CODES IN YAVAPAI COUNTY. 
          WE'VE HAD BUILDING CODES ADOPTED SINCE 1987. AND JUST TO KIND OF A POINT THAT I WOULD LIKE
TO EMPHASIZE TOO. 
          THE 2024 BUILDING CODES THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR ADOPTION TODAY,
THESE ARE NOT NEW CODES, RIGHT? THEY'RE REALLY EACH CODE ITERATION IS JUST A REVISION FROM THE PREVIOUS CODE. 
          SO THESE ARE THE SAME CODES ESSENTIALLY SINCE 1987. 
          BUT THEY'VE BEEN BUILT UPON AND IMPROVED AND REVISED SINCE THAT TIME. 
          SO WE'RE NOT THEY DON'T START FROM SCRATCH AND CREATE NEW BUILDING CODES. 
          THESE ARE THIS IS JUST A NEW ITERATION. AND YAVAPAI COUNTY HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN ON A SIX
YEAR CYCLE OF ADOPTING BUILDING CODES. 
          CODES ARE UPDATED EVERY THREE YEARS. WE ADOPT TYPICALLY THE EVEN NUMBER YEARS FOR
INSTANCE. 
          SO WE'RE ON THE 2018 BUILDING CODE TODAY. ONE THING THAT'S KIND OF UNIQUE TO YAVAPAI
COUNTY, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS DONE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE STATE,
BUT WE'VE COLLABORATED THIS LAST YEAR WITH ALL OF THE CITIES AND TOWNS, ALL OF THE INCORPORATED CITIES AND TOWNS WITHIN YAVAPAI COUNTY TO ADOPT THE SAME ITERATION
OF BUILDING CODES ESSENTIALLY AT THE SAME TIME. 
          SO THIS HAS BEEN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FOR THIS LAST YEAR WHERE ALL OF THE CITIES AND
TOWNS GET TOGETHER, THEIR BUILDING OFFICIALS GET TOGETHER AND REVIEW THESE CODES TOGETHER. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S A UNIQUE TO YAVAPAI COUNTY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF. 
          AGAIN, ALL OF THE JURISDICTIONS INTEND TO ADOPT THE BUILDING CODE AT ROUGHLY THE SAME
TIME. 
          SO WE'RE ALL ESSENTIALLY PLAYING BY THE THE SAME SET OF RULES. 
          SO WHICH IS WHICH MAKES FOR CONVENIENCE FOR DEVELOPERS,
CONTRACTORS, BUILDERS, HOME BUILDERS, THINGS LIKE THAT. WHEREVER THEY GO WITHIN YAVAPAI COUNTY,
THEY'LL BE BUILDING TO THAT SAME SET OF BUILDING CODES. 
          THESE ARE THE CODES TO BE AMENDED. AND I'LL AS I CONCLUDE MY COMMENTS HERE,
I'LL ASK WARREN TO COME UP AND HE CAN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DETAIL ABOUT THESE CODES TO BE AMENDED. THIS IS THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY A.R.S 11-861 AUTHORIZES COUNTIES TO ADOPT
AND ENFORCE BUILDING CODES, AND SPECIFICALLY THAT POINT IN THE MIDDLE, TO REGULATE THE QUALITY,
TYPE OF MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP OF ALL ASPECTS OF CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES. THIS IS THE PROCESS THAT'S KIND OF LED US UP TO THIS POINT HERE. 
          WE'VE HAD THREE HEARINGS IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING SAFETY ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD IN
JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST. AND IN AUGUST, THE BUILDING SAFETY ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD VOTED A
UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT THESE BUILDING CODES. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THAT BOARD HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON
THAT. 
          LAST MONTH, SEPTEMBER, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HEARD THIS SAME HEARING. 
          THEY ALSO VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE BUILDING CODES. 
          AND, OF COURSE, THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY. SHOULD THE BOARD APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF THESE
CODES, THEN THE EFFECTIVE DATE WOULD BE JANUARY 1ST OF 2026. 
          WE'VE DONE EXTENSIVE OUTREACH AND PUBLIC EDUCATION TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT WHAT THESE
CODES INVOLVE, WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM, AND WHY THEY'RE IMPORTANT. 
          WE'VE TRIED TO COVER AS MUCH OF THE COUNTY AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE'VE DONE WHAT WE'RE CALLING OUR ROAD SHOWS HERE IN PEEPLES VALLEY,
ASH FORK, BLACK CANYON, THE QUAD CITY AREA, AND SEDONA. WE ALSO HAD,
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE YAVAPAI COUNTY CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION, TO OUTREACHES, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN FOR SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CONTRACTORS
TO HELP ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS AS WELL AND GET THEIR FEEDBACK. 
          THESE ARE SOME NOTABLE REVISIONS. AND AGAIN,
AS I CONCLUDE MY COMMENTS AND MY PRESENTATION, WARREN CAN SPEAK TO THESE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AS WELL,
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM. 
          [02:10:02]
BUT THESE ARE SOME NOTABLE REVISIONS TO THE 2024 CODES. 
          AND AGAIN, A FEW OTHERS HERE AS WELL TO CONSIDER. 
          AND I'LL CIRCLE BACK TO THESE AGAIN SO WE'RE NOT SO WE CAN SPEND SOME TIME IF NEEDED. 
          THE ONE BIG QUESTION THAT COMES UP IS HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO INCREASE THE COST OF
DEVELOPMENT BY ADOPTING THESE NEW CODES. 
          AND IT'S REALLY AGAIN, THE CODES ARE NOT THE CODES ARE SPECIFIC TO CONSTRUCTION TYPE
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS CONSTRUCT. 
          I'M TRIPPING OVER MY TONGUE. BUT CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO TWO REPORTS HAVE BEEN GENERATED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS SPECIFIC TO ADOPTING THE
NEW CODES, AND SPECIFICALLY THE ONE FROM JULY 2ND, 2024. 
          THIS STUDY, DONE BY THE HOME INNOVATION RESEARCH LABS,
REALLY SHOWS THAT THE PROJECTED IMPACT OF THE CURRENT CODE UPDATE IS EXPECTED TO BE ANYWHERE FROM NO IMPACT TO REFLECTING A SAVINGS DEPENDING ON THE CLIMATE ZONE AND THE
BUILDING CONFIGURATION. 
          SO REALLY NOT EXPECTING ANY INCREASE IN TERMS OF THE ADOPTION OF THIS CODE OVER THE LAST
CODE OVER THE 2018 CODE. 
          SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR US. WE'RE NOT EXPECTING TO SEE ANY INCREASES SPECIFICALLY RELATED
TO THE BUILDING CODES. 
          NOW, WHAT THE CONTRACTING INDUSTRY DOES, WHAT LABOR COSTS ARE,
WHAT MATERIALS COSTS ARE. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL AND NOT RELATED TO THE BUILDING CODE
SPECIFICALLY. 
          AND THAT BRINGS MY PRESENTATION TO A CONCLUSION. 
          I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT. 
          AND IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC TECHNICAL QUESTIONS,
THEN WARREN IS HERE TO ANSWER THOSE TO YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 
          SUPERVISOR KUKNYO DID YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS? SURE SO SOMEBODY COMES IN AND SEES BILL LAST MONTH. 
          HE SAYS, I WANT TO DRAW THIS UP. HE DRAWS IT UP AND HE JUST PRESENTED IT TO HIM YESTERDAY. 
          HASN'T PUT IT IN US YET. ARE THOSE GOING TO IS HE GOING TO INCUR MORE COSTS TO HAVE TO
REDESIGN PLANS TO GET TO THESE CODES? YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION, SUPERVISOR KUKNYO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          IF THESE CODES SHOULD THE BOARD APPROVE THESE CODES TODAY,
THERE WILL BE A CUT OFF ON JANUARY 1ST. 
          SO THAT GIVES TYPICALLY WHEN AN ORDINANCE IS ADOPTED,
IT'S AFTER 30 DAYS, IT BECOMES EFFECTIVE. 
          IN THIS CASE, WE WANT TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE. 
          WE WANT TO GIVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY THEY DO NEED TO GET
THEIR CODES. 
          THEY DO NEED TO GET THEIR PLANS INTO US IN A TIMELY FASHION. 
          BEFORE THAT CUT OFF DATE, IF THEY WANT TO GET IN UNDER THE CURRENT 2018 CODE. 
          SO THAT GIVES, YOU KNOW, ABOUT ABOUT THREE MONTHS TO GET THERE TO GET THEIR DESIGNS DONE,
COMPLETED AND INTO US. 
          SO DECEMBER 31ST AND THIS THIS HAPPENED DURING THE LAST CODE CYCLE TOO. 
          DECEMBER 31ST, YOU KNOW, COMES IN. WE USUALLY WILL GET A RUSH OF,
YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF APPLICATION PERMIT APPLICATIONS IN BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET IN UNDER THE ORIGINAL CODE OR THE EXISTING CODE. 
          BUT TO YOUR SO JANUARY 1ST, MOVING FORWARD, ANYTHING THAT IS SUBMITTED TO US WOULD NEED TO BE AT THAT
THAT NEW 2024 CODE, ANYTHING CURRENTLY IN OUR PROCESS AND BEING REVIEWED THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO US BEFORE THAT
DATE WOULD STILL BE PROCESSED AS THE UNDER THE ORIGINAL CODE. 
          GREAT AND I WAS JUST WONDERING, WAS THERE ANY YOUR FEEDBACK FROM YOUR OUTREACH AND YOU DID
GREAT OUTREACH. 
          THANKS FOR DOING THAT. IS THERE ANY FEEDBACK THAT KIND OF ROSE TO THE TOP? WAS THERE ANY QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE REALLY HAD THAT CONCERNS FOR THE MOST PART THE
CONCERNS PEOPLE HAD JUST GOING BACK TO THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE COSTS, RIGHT? HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST ME UNDER THESE NEW BUILDING CODES TO BUILD MY
GARAGE, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS I CAN I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE BOTH OF
THESE REPORTS TO THE BOARD AS WELL. 
          SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE FULL STUDY. BUT THIS IS REALLY THE THE HIGH POINT THAT I
WANTED TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. 
          SO TYPICALLY MOSTLY AROUND COST. MADAM CHAIR,
SO I ATTENDED TWO OF THE PUBLIC MEETINGS AND I WAS REALLY ENCOURAGED TO HEAR A FAIRLY UNIFIED VOICE THERE. 
          AND IT'S NOTABLE ALSO THAT MY UNDERSTANDING IS NOW IF WE CHOOSE TO APPROVE THIS CODE THE
MUNICIPALITIES AND THE COUNTY WILL BE THE CLOSEST THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST 30 YEARS TO HAVING A COHERENT YOU KNOW,
SINGULAR CODE. 
          THERE'S SOME EXCEPTIONS. AND IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYBODY WAS HAPPY TO AGREE ON THOSE
EXCEPTIONS. 
          THE I THINK CLARKDALE'S TOWN MANAGER AT ONE POINT HAD SOME CONCERNS,
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE WAS ABLE TO YOU KNOW, GET HER QUESTIONS ANSWERED. SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS AFTER SITTING THROUGH TWO PUBLIC
MEETINGS. 
          [02:15:05]
OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH SUPERVISOR CHECK. GO AHEAD SUPERVISOR JENKINS. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE AMOUNT OF WORK IN REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITIES. 
          IMPRESSIVE. I THINK IT MAKES FOR A BETTER PRODUCT WHEN YOU'RE DONE TO GET FEEDBACK. 
          AND I'M REALLY ENCOURAGED THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITHIN YAVAPAI
COUNTY, BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT CONTRACTORS MOVE FROM LOCATION TO LOCATION,
SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THEM. 
          I DO HAVE A QUESTION, AND MAYBE SUPERVISOR KUKNYO WAS ASKING THE SAME THING. 
          AND AS A HOMEOWNER, WHAT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT TO ME THAT I SHOULD BE AWARE OF IN THE CODE
CHANGES? SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT I WOULD COME IN AND GET A PERMIT IN JANUARY AND IT REALLY
IS A BIG CHANGE. 
          SURE. LET ME CIRCLE BACK AND I'LL ASK WARREN TO COME UP AND SPEAK TO THIS DIRECTLY. 
          BUT LET'S CIRCLE BACK TO THOSE NOTABLE REVISIONS IN THE 2024 CODE. 
          THERE HE IS. HERE I AM THANK YOU, CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, I'M WARREN COLVIN. I'M YOUR CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL. YEAH IT
WAS REALLY THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PROBABLY ADDRESS IF YOU WERE A HOMEOWNER COMING TO US WOULD BE PROBABLY THE BATTERY STORAGE. 
          YOU LOOK AT NUMBER ONE WAS IS THE BATTERY STORAGE. 
          A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, ALL THE JURISDICTIONS,
WITH THE HELP OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT TOGETHER BECAUSE THE 2018 CODE REALLY ONLY HAD ONE PAGE THAT DEALT WITH BATTERY STORAGE. AND THE CONCERNS WERE AT THAT TIME THAT THE
BATTERIES, YOU KNOW, TECHNOLOGY WAS, YOU KNOW, LITHIUM. AND THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT FIREFIGHTERS NOT
KNOWING ABOUT INSIDE THE HOUSES AND THE BATTERIES THAT WERE THERE. 
          SO IT TOOK A TWO YEAR PROCESS TO COME UP WITH THIS REVISED R3-27 WITH ALL THE
COLLABORATION FROM ALL THE JURISDICTIONS, FIRE DEPARTMENT, APS. WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, YAVAPAI COUNTY WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT ADOPTED
IT. 
          ALL THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THEIR BOARDS. 
          SO HERE YAVAPAI COUNTY WAS OUT ON AN ISLAND,
AND WE WERE REGULATING BATTERIES THAT WERE NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE UNLESS YOU BUILT A SEPARATE ROOM AND YOU HAD ACCESS FROM THE OUTSIDE. 
          SO YAVAPAI COUNTY GOT BEAT UP FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS ON THIS BECAUSE THE SURROUNDING
JURISDICTIONS ALLOWED THAT. 
          SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS, IS THE INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE HAS ACTUALLY IN THE 2024
EDITION IS ACTUALLY EXPANDED. 
          THAT'S ESS BATTERY STORAGE SECTION. SO WE'VE ACTUALLY DELETED THAT REQUIREMENT. 
          THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW THE BATTERIES TO BE IN THE ATTACHED GARAGE. 
          THE CODE DOES PICK UP RECOMMENDATIONS OF A FIREWALL AND SELF-CLOSING DOORS,
AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO ALLOW IT TO BE WITHIN THE HOUSE AS LONG AS IT'S IN A SEPARATE ROOM, LIKE A MECHANICAL ROOM OR A STORAGE ROOM,
NOT ACTUALLY IN THE HABITABLE SPACE. 
          SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES. BY ADOPTING THE 2024 CODE THAT WE SEE,
IT'S GOING TO HELP WITH ALL THE CONTRACTORS THAT ARE USED TO SURROUNDING AREAS. AND ALSO DOWN IN THE VALLEY,
THE BIGGEST, SECOND BIGGEST CHANGE THAT WE'RE SEEING IS, IS THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS GOT TOGETHER,
AND THEY DID A WHOLE NEW STUDY OF SNOW LOADS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 
          AND IN IN THAT THEY CREATED THIS HAZARD TOOL WHERE YOU CAN GO IN AND PUT YOUR PROPERTY IN
AND YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR SNOW LOAD IS. 
          SO BASED ON THAT AND THAT NEW STUDY, THEY'VE ACTUALLY INCREASED THE SNOW LOADINGS IN A LOT
OF AREAS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. 
          SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS WE HAVE WE PUT IN ONE WHERE WE HAVE A PROJECT THAT'S UP IN MOUNT
UNION. 
          AND CURRENTLY THAT STRUCTURE WAS BUILT UNDER THE 60 POUND? 60 POUND SNOW LOAD. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REVISED DATA AND PUT IN THAT PIECE OF
PROPERTY IN THE HAZARD TOOL, IT ENDED UP BEING A 93 POUND SNOW LOAD. SO WE'VE UPDATED THOSE SNOW LOADS TO GO ALONG WITH
THAT NEW DATA. 
          YAVAPAI COUNTY ALWAYS KIND OF SAT IN THIS AREA. 
          THAT WAS CALLED CASE STUDY AREA. THEY WEREN'T REALLY SURE ON HOW TO ESTABLISH THAT. 
          SO ONCE THEY'VE DONE THAT, IT ACTUALLY UPDATED THE SNOW LOADS. 
          THE OTHER BIGGEST THING THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE IS,
IS YAVAPAI COUNTY IN THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY ARE THE ONLY TWO JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE ON THE 2006 ENERGY CODE. SO WE DECIDED IN OUR CODE COMMITTEES THAT,
HEY, WE NEED TO HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY. 
          AND SO WE'RE PRESENTING YOU THE 2012 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CODE. 
          THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT'S NEW. IT'LL BE NEW TO PEOPLE THAT BUILD IN YAVAPAI COUNTY ONLY, 
          [02:20:04]
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE NEW ACROSS THE WHOLE REGION. 
          THIS CODE HAS BEEN ENFORCED BY OTHER JURISDICTIONS SINCE 2013. 
          ONE THING THAT YOU THAT DOES HAPPEN IN THE 2012 ENERGY CODE IS,
IT BRINGS IN SOME A LOT OF ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR TESTING. 
          SO UNDER THAT CODE YOU HAVE TO DO BLOWER DOOR TESTS,
DUCT LEAK TESTS, AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME RESCHECK PROGRAMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          IN OUR COLLABORATION, WE FELT THAT, HEY, IF WE'RE IF WE'RE ADOPTING THIS NEW ENERGY CODE
AND IT'S A PRESCRIPTIVE ENERGY CODE, WHY IS ALL THIS ADDITIONAL TESTING REQUIRED? IF YOU'RE GOING TO PRESENT US AND WE'RE GOING
TO INSPECT A BUILDING THAT MEETS THESE INSULATION REQUIREMENTS, THESE WINDOW REQUIREMENTS SEALING OF YOUR DUCK. 
          WHY DO WE HAVE TO PASS THAT BURDEN ONTO A HOMEOWNER OR A CONTRACTOR TO PERFORM THESE
TESTS, WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE A PRESCRIPTIVE CODE FOR IT? SO YAVAPAI COUNTY HAS AMENDED THOSE REQUIREMENTS OUT OF THE CODE AND LOOKING AT THEM AS
THEY ARE AN UNNECESSARY PEOPLE CAN STILL PERFORM THOSE TESTS IF THEY WANT TO, BUT WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO REQUIRE. 
          SO I WOULD THINK THOSE WOULD PROBABLY BE YOUR THREE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHTS. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND THE REASON WHY I ASKED THAT IS I DID WATCH THE PLANNING AND ZONING
MEETING, AND ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT YOU JUST SHARED WITH US WAS SHARED IN THAT MEETING,
AND I THOUGHT IT RELEVANT. 
          AND INASMUCH AS YOU LISTENED TO THE PARTICIPANTS,
YOU LISTEN TO THE CONTRACTORS AND YOU MADE THE BEST DECISION FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY, YOU JUST DIDN'T TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE. SO I APPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          SO CHAIR MALLORY AND BOARD MEMBERS JUST AS A REMINDER,
WE HAVE COMMISSIONER PAEZ HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE P&Z. 
          IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR HIM AND ALSO MEMBERS OF THE BUILDING SAFETY ADVISORY AND APPEALS
BOARD, AND I UNDERSTAND THEY MAY WISH TO SPEAK AS WELL. 
          OKAY. DID YOU WANT TO BRING THEM UP THEN? SURE ALL RIGHT WELCOME. CHUCK MERRITT IS OUR THE VICE CHAIR OF THE BUILDING SAFETY ADVISORY AND
APPEALS BOARD. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          I HAVE A STATEMENT HERE FROM SANDY OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION. 
          SHE WAS UNABLE TO BE HERE DUE TO RECOVERING FROM A PROCEDURE. 
          AND I'LL READ THIS IF I'M THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU. 
          ABSOLUTELY. SO THIS IS FROM SANDY GRIFFIS, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY
CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION, OF WHICH MYSELF AND ONE OF THE ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD MEMBERS ARE ON THE BOARD OF THAT
ASSOCIATION. 
          ON BEHALF OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND YCCA MEMBERS,
WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND OUR SINCERE APPRECIATION TO MR. DYE AND THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND HARD WORK THROUGHOUT THE
PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE 2024 BUILDING CODES. 
          MR. DYE, YOUR TEAM'S COMMITMENT TO COLLABORATION,
TRANSPARENCY AND OPEN COMMUNICATION MADE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. 
          THE MANY HOURS SPENT IN MEETINGS, THE WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN,
AND THE THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION OF THE INDUSTRY INPUT TRULY EXEMPLIFIED A PARTNERSHIP THAT BENEFITS NOT ONLY OUR INDUSTRY, BUT ALSO THE SAFETY,
QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT BUILDING ENVIRONMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WE RECOGNIZE THAT UPDATING CERTAIN CODES IS A COMPLEX AND DEMANDING PROCESS,
AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE COUNTY'S EFFORTS TO ENSURE A SMOOTH AND INCLUSIVE TRANSITION. 
          THE INDUSTRY IS PROUD TO HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS WORK,
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR STRONG RELATIONSHIP AS WE MOVE AHEAD TOGETHER. 
          THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM,
DEDICATION, IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO WORK ALONGSIDE YOU. 
          RESPECTFULLY. SANDY GRIFFIS, YCCA DIRECTOR. AND AS A COMMENT ON THAT MYSELF AND BOARD
MEMBER ENDERS KIND OF WEAR THREE HATS, WERE CONTRACTORS AND WERE ON THE ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD AND
WERE ALSO ON THE YCCA BOARD. 
          AND I HAVE TO EXTEND A GREAT COMPLIMENT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. 
          WE SPENT MANY, MANY HOURS IN MEETINGS GOING OVER THIS CODE WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. 
          MOST OF IT WAS PAINLESS. THERE WAS A LITTLE BLOOD,
BUT WE CLEANED IT UP QUICKLY, AND WE ALL HAD A FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO STATE OUR OPINIONS AND PROGRESS ON IT AND THE ALL OF THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS,
WHICH IS. 
          I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 1979, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE WHOLE COUNTY HAS BEEN ON THE
SAME CODE CYCLE, WITH ALL OF THE JURISDICTIONS, THE TRI-CITY AREA. 
          [02:25:01]
DID THAT THE LAST CODE CYCLE CHANGE. A LOT OF THAT CAME ABOUT FROM THE EFFORTS OF SANDY
GRIFFIS AND THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT HEADS TO GET EVERYBODY ON BOARD WITH IT. 
          THE COUNTY STAFF DID A TREMENDOUS JOB IN PRESENTING THE INFORMATION,
AND I JUST WANT TO COMPLIMENT I SPENT MANY HOURS IN THE MEETING AS WELL AS OUR OTHER BOARD MEMBERS. THERE'S FOUR MEMBERS HERE FROM THE ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD. 
          THAT'S HOW SERIOUS WE WANT TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR THIS. 
          AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK AND THE HOURS
OF MEETINGS. 
          AND ALSO, I'M SURE MISS SANDY IS WATCHING. SO JUST PUTTING A SHOUT OUT THERE. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER AND ALWAYS FOR YOUR SUPPORT. 
          ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I FORGOT TO MENTION. THANKS,
MR. ENDERS, IS THAT WOODY LEWIS, THE CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL FOR THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY,
WAS HERE. 
          HE HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE OF A MEETING IN PRESCOTT VALLEY. 
          HE ASKED ME TO EXTEND TO YOU HIS SUPPORT FOR THE CODE CHANGE,
WHICH HE'S GOING TO CARRY FORWARD IN PRESCOTT VALLEY. 
          HE WOULD HAVE SPOKE, BUT HE HAD TO TAKE OFF. OH THANK YOU I'M SORRY WE MISSED HIM. 
          AND, MADAM CHAIR, I JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS THING WITH EVERYBODY BEING ON THE SAME PAGE CAN'T
BE UNDERSTATED. 
          IT'S LIKE, THAT'S A HUGE THING. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS BUILDING MY HOME,
BUMPING INTO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHAT THE CITY WAS DOING AND WHAT THE COUNTY WAS DOING. 
          IT'S NICE TO SEE EVERYBODY GET ON THAT. AND BECAUSE CONTRACTORS ARE GO WHEREVER THEY HAVE
THE MONEY TO BUILD OR GETTING PAID TO BUILD SOMEWHERE, IT'S NICE IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO TRY AND THINK OF WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE REQUIRES. 
          SO GOOD JOB. THANK YOU THAT THAT SMOOTH ROAD FROM PLACE TO PLACE JUST REALLY SIMPLIFIES
THE PROCESS FOR US. 
          YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH AND TO THAT POINT WITH MEETING WITH THE MR. DYE, THAT WAS WHAT I FOUND. AMAZING THAT WE WILL ALL BE ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK. 
          YES YEAH THAT'S THAT CONCLUDES OUR COMMENTS CHAIR MALLORY. 
          AND WE'RE JUST ASKING REQUESTING OKAY WELL, WE ARE DEALING WITH ANOTHER HEARING ITEM. 
          SO WE WILL ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS ANY ISSUES OR WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. OKAY AND VICE CHAIR? NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ASIDE FROM THE ONE THAT WAS RECEIVED FROM MS. GRIFFIS WITH YCCA. OKAY FANTASTIC. OKAY, SO WE'VE COVERED ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENT HEARING
PART OF THIS. 
          SO THIS HEARING IS CLOSED. AND NOW I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. 
          MADAM CHAIR, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE HEARING ITEM NUMBER 3. 
          SECOND. OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          CLERK OF THE BOARD WILL YOU CALL FOR THE VOTE? SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. 
          SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. 
          CHAIR MALLORY. YES. HEARING ITEM NUMBER 3 IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          ALL RIGHT WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK. 
          NEXT IS THE COUNTY OR MR. BRENNAN. WERE YOU GOING TO DO A REPORT ON THIS, OR ARE WE NOT HAVING THAT TODAY, WE'RE GOOD? CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THIS ITEM WOULD BE TABLED SINCE THE
COUNTY MANAGER IS NOT PRESENT AT THE MEETING TODAY. 
          OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEN WE WILL TABLE THAT ONE. 
          JUST ASKING. DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A VOTE FOR THAT? OKAY, I JUST CHECKING ALL THE BOXES. ALL RIGHT THEN. 
          SO NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE CALL THE PUBLIC. INDIVIDUALS MAY ADDRESS THE BOARD FOR UP TO
THREE MINUTES ON ANY RELEVANT ISSUE WITHIN THE BOARD'S 
          [ CALL TO THE PUBLIC: Individuals may address the Board for up to three (3) minutes on any relevant issue within the Board's jurisdiction. Pursuant to A.R.S. §38-431.01(I), Board members shall not discuss or take action on matters raised during the call to the public. The Board may direct staff to study the matter or direct that the matter be rescheduled for consideration at a later date.]
JURISDICTION. PURSUANT TO A.R.S 38-431.01. BOARD MEMBERS SHALL NOT DISCUSS OR TAKE ACTION
ON MATTERS RAISED DURING THE CALL TO PUBLIC. THE BOARD MAY DIRECT STAFF TO STUDY THE MATTER
OR DIRECT THAT MATTER BE RESCHEDULED FOR CONSIDERATION AT A LATER DATE. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID,
WE HAVE A TIMER AND WE ALSO HAVE SOME GREEN SHEETS, GREEN SHEETS. SO VICE CHAIR YEAH, I'LL START WITH THE DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK FIRST. 
          DOMINICK VATICANO. SO IT DOESN'T SAY OPPOSED OR FORCE. 
          I'LL JUST READ IT. GOOD MORNING I HAVE COME HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS THAT I DO NOT SUPPORT
TRANSGENDER BIOLOGICAL MEN USING WOMEN'S BATHROOMS. I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED AND DESIRE THAT YOU DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. 
          NICOLE LUPTAK JUST AS OPPOSED TO THE ISSUE. PHOEBE HOPPER IS ALSO OPPOSED TO THE ISSUE AND
WISHING TO SPEAK. 
          [02:30:02]
RYAN DUNCAN. DID I SAY IT CORRECTLY OR NO? FEEL FREE TO COME ON UP IF THAT'S YOU. 
          YES, PLEASE. I APOLOGIZE SOMETIMES I GET THE NAMES WRONG. 
          PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. I'M RYAN DUNCAN. 
          THANK YOU. I'M ACTUALLY VERY SURPRISED THAT SOMEONE SAID IT CORRECTLY. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU DID I GET MY AWARD? ABSOLUTELY [LAUGHTER]. OKAY. 
          YEAH AT THE NEXT MEETING. I THINK ON THE ISSUE OF HAVING BIOLOGICAL MALES IN WOMEN,
WOMEN'S BATHROOM SPACES, THERE'S NO REAL CONCERN OR NO REAL SAFETY CONCERN ON SUCH A THING,
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO EVEN DEFINE A BIOLOGICAL WOMAN OR A BIOLOGICAL MALE. JUST LOOKING AT A GENERAL DEFINITION,
ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN, HAVING A UTERUS, ANY OF THOSE THINGS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES
THAT WOULD MAKE IT VERY HARD TO EVEN ENFORCE THAT. 
          IT IS ALSO INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL TO A PERSON TO ASK THEM TO ANY PERSON,
BIOLOGICALLY, A WOMAN OR NOT TO PROVE IT, TO BE IN A PUBLIC BATHROOM, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT'S A NEED ALL HUMANS HAVE. 
          I KNOW OUR GUEST WHO DID THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT. 
          I OVERHEARD IT WAS MENTIONED THAT HE HAD A PODCAST ON THE MAIN BASIS OF THAT ISSUE BEING
PERSONAL SAFETY. 
          I THINK IF HE TRULY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT SUCH A PROBLEM,
SUCH AS ASSAULT, SEXUAL ASSAULT, OR ANY OF THOSE THINGS. HE WOULD INSTEAD CALL FOR MORE GENDER NEUTRAL SINGLE PERSON
BATHROOMS LIKE FAMILY RESTROOMS, INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING IT OUT ON ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE. 
          WHEN THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER GROUPS THAT COULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUES IN
WOMEN IN WOMEN'S SPACES. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AMELIA DITZLER. 
          GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING FOR THE RECORD, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS DISTINCTION MATTERS. 
          MY NAME IS MEL DITZLER, MY LEGAL NAME, AMELIA DITZLER. 
          I BELIEVE IT IS A. THAT IF THE BOARD WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CALL RAISED BY ONE WILLIAM SEARLE ON THE PRESENCE OF TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS IN COUNTY BUILDING RESTROOMS
THAT ENFORCING SUCH AN ORDINANCE WOULD REQUIRE GRAVE VIOLATIONS OF PERSONAL PRIVACY OF
TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS AND OF NON-TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS AS WELL. 
          THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF BIOLOGICAL WOMEN BEING ACCUSED OF BEING
TRANSGENDER WHEN ENTERING RESTROOMS. AND THIS HAS. AND HAVING BEEN HARASSED AND ASSAULTED. 
          70. ACCORDING TO THE UCLA WILLIAMS INSTITUTE,
70% OF TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN HARASSED OR ASSAULTED IN PUBLIC RESTROOMS. THERE, AND ACCORDING TO MANY REPUTABLE JOURNALS OF LAW STUDIES PUBLISHED IN THEM, THERE IS NO SAFETY CONCERN THAT IS RAISED BY THE PRESENCE OF
TRANSGENDER PEOPLE IN PUBLIC RESTROOMS. TRANSGENDER WOMEN ARE NOT ANY MORE LIKELY THAN ANYONE ELSE TO BE PERPETRATORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. THIS IS,
WELL, STATISTICALLY PROVEN. 
          IN FACT, THEY ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO THEMSELVES BE VICTIMS. SO I HOPE THAT THE BOARD WILL NOT SERIOUSLY CONSIDER ANY ACTION AGAINST TRANSGENDER WOMEN
BEING ALLOWED TO, OR TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS BEING ALLOWED TO USE THE RESTROOM OF THEIR CHOICE,
AS THERE IS SIMPLY NO SAFETY CONCERN INVOLVED WITH ALLOWING THEM TO DO SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. WILLIAM SEARLE. GOOD MORNING IF YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. YES MY NAME IS WILLIAM SEARLE. 
          CHAIR MALLORY, VICE CHAIR COMPTON, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK SUPERVISOR BROOKS COMPTON AND CHRIS KUKNYO FOR
STANDING UP FOR WOMEN'S RIGHT TO HAVE WOMEN'S ONLY BATHROOMS. 
          [02:35:06]
AT THE LAST MEETING, I WATCHED SUPERVISOR KUKNYO AND COMPTON MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF
TO CREATE A BATHROOM ORDINANCE TO GOVERN WHO IS ALLOWED IN WHICH BATHROOM. 
          ONCE A MOTION IS MADE AND SECONDED, IT MUST BE VOTED ON. 
          THIS ONE WAS NOT VOTED ON AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY. 
          IF YOU BAN MEN FROM WOMEN'S BATHROOMS AND YAVAPAI COUNTY BUILDINGS,
YOU WON'T BE THE FIRST ONES TO DO THAT. 
          YOU SEE, AFTER I MADE MY FIRST SPEECH IN THIS ROOM,
I WAS INFORMED THAT THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DOESN'T JAIL INMATES BASED ON THEIR GENDER, SELECTION OF THE DAY AND YAVAPAI COUNTY JAIL. 
          THE MALE AND FEMALE INMATES ARE KEPT SEPARATELY. 
          EVEN IF A MALE INMATE SAYS HE IS A WOMAN, HE IS STILL HOUSED WITH THE MEN. 
          IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE THE VERY FIRST YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF WAS APPOINTED IN 1864. 
          IF YOU CAN TELL A MALE INMATE THAT HE HAS TO USE THE MEN'S FACILITIES,
WHY CAN'T YOU TELL MALE EMPLOYEES TO USE THE MEN'S ROOM? SO RIGHT NOW, THE FEMALE INMATES OF YAVAPAI COUNTY JAIL GET TO ENJOY THE RIGHT TO FEMALE
ONLY BATHROOMS. BUT FEMALE EMPLOYEES AND FEMALE VOTERS DON'T HAVE THAT SAME RIGHT IN YAVAPAI COUNTY
BUILDINGS. 
          DO YOU PLAN TO TREAT YOUR FEMALE EMPLOYEES AND FEMALE VOTERS WITH THE SAME RESPECT YOU
GAVE TO THE FEMALE INMATES OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY JAIL? WHEN YOU VOTED TO INSTALL A NEW FAMILY BATHROOMS THAT YOU HAD ALREADY ANNOUNCED WERE BEING
BUILT, YOU DID NOT ADDRESS THE CORE PROBLEM OF MEN USING THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM IN YAVAPAI COUNTY
BUILDINGS. 
          THE FAMILY'S BATHROOMS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION,
BUT YOU STILL HAVE UNSUSPECTING MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ENTERING WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS A WOMEN'S ONLY SPACE. I SEE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND AN INCREASED LIABILITY TO THE RISK
OF THE COUNTY. 
          OBVIOUSLY, A WOMAN ENTERING WOMEN'S ROOM AND SEEING A MAN,
OR ENTERING THE WOMEN'S ROOM AND HAVING A MAN FOLLOW HER IN THERE CAN CREATE UNWANTED RESPONSES. AS A RETIRED SHERIFF, LIEUTENANT WILLIAMS TOLD YOU AT THE LAST MEETING,
VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT CAN BE RETRAUMATIZED BY SUCH AN INTERACTION. 
          NO MAN HAS A RIGHT TO DO THIS. YOU HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH FATHERS LETTING THEIR
LITTLE DAUGHTERS GO INTO THE WOMEN'S ROOM AND ENCOUNTERING A MAN, OR HAVING A MAN FOLLOW THEM IN THERE. THESE POTENTIAL ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND ARE
NOT SOLVED BY INSTALLING A FAMILY BATHROOM IN AN EMPLOYEE ONLY AREA, WHEN MEN STILL USE THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM. THE PUBLIC IS STILL IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE,
AS MEN USING WOMEN'S BATHROOMS HAS NEVER BEEN NORMAL OR COMMON IN YAVAPAI COUNTY. IN CLOSING, I AM ADVOCATING FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY ORDINANCE THAT STATES THAT MEN USE
THE MEN'S BATHROOM AND WOMEN USE THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM. 
          IF SOMEONE IS NOT COMFORTABLE USING THE BATHROOM OF THEIR BIRTH SEX,
THEN THEY HAVE THE OPTION OF THE THIRD FAMILY BATHROOM. 
          THIS WAY YOU WOULD BE PROVIDING A SAME SEX BATHROOM FOR EVERYONE. 
          YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONTROL ACCESS TO BATHROOMS IN YAVAPAI COUNTY BUILDINGS. 
          AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THERE ARE NO LAWS OR COURT CASES PREVENTING YOU FROM DOING THIS. 
          I BELIEVE THAT BOTH MEN ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WOULD SUPPORT THIS OR SOMETHING
SIMILAR TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 
          I AM ASKING FOR THE WOMEN OF THE BOARD TO FIND THE COURAGE TO VOTE FOR AN ORDINANCE LIKE
THIS, AND PROTECT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF YAVAPAI COUNTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. 
          I'M SORRY IS THAT RIGHT, MR. BRENNAN? CHAIR YES, THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY, SO LISTENING TO WHAT I JUST HEARD ABOUT A MOTION AND A SECOND AND A VOTE AND ALL
THAT AT THE LAST. 
          I NEED YOU TO MAYBE HAVE A CONVERSATION BECAUSE LOOKING AT THE RECORD,
I DID NOT SEE THAT HAPPEN AT THAT MEETING AND THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. SO CHAIR, YES, I CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO THAT AND REPORT BACK
TO THE BOARD THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CHAIR. 
          DEBORAH SEGLER. DID I GET THAT ONE RIGHT TOO? YOU DID MY NAME IS DEBORAH SEGLER. I'VE BEEN A YAVAPAI RESIDENT SINCE 2007. 
          THIS IS MY SECOND TIME IN FRONT OF YOU IN REFERENCE TO THIS SITUATION. 
          I'M JUST GOING TO READ IT. IT'S FIRM. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER. 
          I WAS BORN IN 1956 INTO A FAMILY OF STRONG AND RESPECTED WOMEN. 
          BECAUSE OF THIS, AS A YOUNG WOMAN OF THE 1970S,
I ALREADY HAD A FOOT UP IN THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT. 
          THAT WAS BEGINNING TO MAKE GREAT CHANGES TO OUR WORLD BACK THEN. 
          THERE WAS VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, REPRESENTATION FOR WOMEN,
ESPECIALLY IN GOVERNMENT. 
          I DARE SAY WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THOSE DAYS. 
          WOULDN'T YOU? HOWEVER, IN THESE DAYS I AM NOW HAVING TO PONDER THE RESULTS OF OUR FIGHT. 
          ESPECIALLY SO SINCE MORE AND MORE WOMEN ARE NOW COMING INTO THESE ONCE MALE DOMINATED AND
VERY IMPORTANT PLACES OF LEADERSHIP. 
          BACK THEN, OUR FIGHT WAS FOR EQUALITY, TO BE ABLE TO PARTNER WITH OUR MALE COUNTERPARTS,
NOT BECOME ONE OF THEM. 
          [02:40:06]
WE FOUGHT HARD TO BE HEARD, TO BE REPRESENTED BY WOMEN WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD OUR NEEDS,
TO BE EMPOWERED, RESPECTED AND PLACED INTO POSITIONS THAT WOULD BRING US ABOVE THE THINKING OF THOSE DAYS,
WHICH WAS THE SUPPRESSION OF OUR VOICES. 
          BUT TODAY I STAND HERE WITH THE MAJORITY, LADIES,
I'M TALKING TO YOU THAT SEEMINGLY HAVE COME TO A PLACE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN YET ANOTHER BITE OUT OF THE PROVERBIAL APPLE,
BEING SWAYED BY THAT OLD SNAKE'S DECEIVING WHISPERINGS. 
          IT'S OKAY FOR A GUY IN A DRESS TO COME INTO OUR BATHROOMS. THEY WON'T HURT YOU. THEY JUST WANT TO BE LIKE YOU. 
          LADIES I'M CONFUSED. I'M CONFUSED BY YOUR HESITATIONS. 
          IT APPEARS THAT YOU ARE NOT CONTINUING THE FIGHT OF THE WOMEN THAT CAME BEFORE YOU. 
          YOU ARE BECOMING COMPLICIT TO NOT ONLY PUSHING A WOMAN OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE,
BUT IN DESTROYING OUR REPRESENTATION AS WELL. 
          YOU ARE SEEMINGLY DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO PUT US BACK UNDER THE CONTROL OF A MAN'S
WHIM, EVEN IF HE DOES WEAR A DRESS. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. 
          WE ARE NOT THE SAME. BY CONTINUING TO ALLOW MEN INTO OUR MOST PRIVATE OF PLACES,
YOU ARE SUBSEQUENTLY SILENCING OUR VOICES AGAIN. NOT ONLY AM I SURPRISED BY THIS IN THIS DAY AND AGE,
BUT I'M DISAPPOINTED AS WELL. 
          HOWEVER, I AM, I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE TWO MEN ON THIS BOARD THAT HAVE STEPPED UP WITHOUT
HESITATION TO ACTUALLY DEFEND AND PROTECT THE WOMEN OF THIS COUNTY. 
          THANK YOU FOR HEARING US WE APPRECIATE YOU. I'M SORRY I HAVE MORE AND UNFORTUNATELY I WILL STEP AWAY, BUT THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED. 
          EPHESIANS 6:11 PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD WE ARE AT A RED LIGHT NOW THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR. BRENNAN. AGAIN, I THINK THAT WE JUST NEED CLARIFICATION IN REGARDS TO SOMETHING THAT
