SOME OF YOU KNOW ME, AND FOR THOSE THAT DON'T, MY NAME IS SHAUN SIMILIS.
I'M ALSO A PROUD MOM AND I KNOW, LIKE MANY FAMILIES ACROSS THIS COUNTY, THAT RAISING CHILDREN TAKES SUPPORT, CONNECTION AND STRONG SYSTEMS. THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF LIFE ARE A PERIOD OF RAPID BRAIN DEVELOPMENT THAT SETS THE FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS.
AND WHILE YAVAPAI COUNTY IS OFTEN SEEN AS A RETIREMENT DESTINATION, WE ARE ALSO HOME TO THOUSANDS OF YOUNG CHILDREN, FUTURE STUDENTS, WORKERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY, ABOUT 50% OF BIRTHS ARE COVERED BY ACCESS, AND 1 IN 3 FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN ARE LIVING AT OR BELOW 130% OF THE POVERTY LEVEL.
THESE FAMILIES ARE WORKING HARD AND THEY NEED SYSTEMS THAT WORK FOR THEM.
AS YOU'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN YOUR STATE OF THE COUNTY, PRIORITIES LIKE HOUSING, WORKFORCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARE CRITICAL TO YAVAPAI FUTURE, AND THERE IS A KEY CONNECTION POINT ACROSS ALL OF THESE.
ACCESS TO CHILD CARE AND EARLY CHILDHOOD SUPPORTS.
WHEN CHILDCARE IS UNAVAILABLE OR UNAFFORDABLE, PARENTS CAN'T FULLY PARTICIPATE IN THE WORKFORCE.
EARLY CHILDHOOD IS NOT A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THESE PRIORITIES.
THESE INVESTMENTS SUPPORT FAMILY. LIKE MY NOTES GOT CUT OFF.
CHILD CARE AND EARLY INTERVENTION AND FAMILY SUPPORT ACROSS THE COUNTY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH [APPLAUSE]. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
CLERK. VICE CHAIR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

MOVING ON TO PRESENTATIONS. PRESENTATION FROM THE VERDE VALLEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.
[ PRESENTATIONS]
MARY. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT I'VE GOT THIS ALL SET UP AND WORKING.
I AM MARY CHICOINE. I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE VERDE VALLEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION AND SUPERVISOR, AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF YAVAPAI COUNTY.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO ESPECIALLY THANK SUPERVISOR CHECK AND SUPERVISOR JENKINS FOR ARRANGING FOR ME TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUR BOARD CHAIR, MARK TUFT, IS HERE THIS MORNING. RIGHT BACK THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO TALK REALLY FAST AND MAKE THIS REALLY QUICK.
AND THIS IS AN UPDATE VERY HONESTLY ON WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE VERDE VALLEY IN PARTICULAR AND THE, AND THE COUNTY OVER THE LAST SIX, ABOUT 16 TO 18 MONTHS.
OUR VISION IS REALLY TO SHAPE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AS WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY TOGETHER.
THE FIRST THING THAT MAKES US WORK IS OUR HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
SUPERVISOR CHECK AND JENKINS ARE BOTH ON THEM.
YOUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR IS ON THEM SO WE ARE REPRESENTED BY THE COUNTY.
WERE ALL OF THE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE, FOR THE MOST PART, WAS PRESENT.
THREE FOCUS AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED AS A PART OF THAT.
ONE WAS WORKING ON PERCEPTION AND EDUCATION, DEALING WITH ALL OF SORT OF THE MYTHS AND TALKING ABOUT SORT OF WHAT DOES AFFORDABLE HOUSING MEAN IN THE REGION? WORKING WITH DEVELOPERS, I MEAN LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T WORK WITH THEM AND GET MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND WORKING WITH MUNICIPALITIES ARE THE CONSISTENT PROCESSES WE COULD PUT IN PLACE THAT WOULD ENABLE US TO WORK EVEN MORE SMOOTHLY WITH DEVELOPERS AND MAYBE A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENTLY ACROSS THE REGION.
WE HAVE DEFINITELY A COMMUNITY PRESENCE. WE DO LETTERS OF SUPPORT, ATTEND COUNCIL MEETINGS, HAVE BEEN A PART OF A LOT OF THE APPROVALS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE RELATED TO HOUSING ACROSS THE REGION IN THE LAST YEAR.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THE PLANNING, AND THIS REALLY CAME FROM THE MUNICIPALITIES,
[00:20:03]
WAS TO ADD A DEVELOPABLE LAND DATABASE TO THE COUNTY WIDE GIS DATABASE SYSTEM, AND IT WAS AMAZING TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO DO THAT.SO DEVELOPERS AREN'T LOOKING FOR PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
IT LINKS TO ALL OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES. IT ALSO LINKS TO OUR DATABASE, AND THE COUNTY HAS ALSO MADE A COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH US ANNUALLY TO UPDATE IT SO THAT WE HAVE CURRENT INFORMATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD. ANOTHER THING WE STARTED WAS THE COST TO BUILD A HOUSE.
EVERY TIME A DECISION IS MADE TO ADD SOMETHING TO A HOUSE, IT UPS THE COST.
IT MAKES IT LESS AFFORDABLE. WE STARTED THE PROCESS AND THEN THE LEGISLATURE DECIDED THEY WANTED A FEW CHANGES TO WHAT MUNICIPALITIES WERE REQUIRED TO DO AND HAVING SORT OF THREE HOUSING DESIGNS. SO WE'VE SORT OF SHELVED THAT UNTIL THOSE ARE DONE, AND WE WILL GO BACK AND REVISIT THIS SO THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT IT REALLY COSTS TO BUILD A HOUSE WITHIN OUR REGION. THE NEXT IS EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. WE BROUGHT TOGETHER A REGIONAL COMMITTEE TO REALLY CREATE BRANDING AND IMAGING FOR THE VERDE VALLEY.
WE HAVE CREATED SIX IMAGES THAT WE NOW USE IN ALL OF OUR MARKETING.
ALSO, AS A PART OF THAT, WE HAVE THREE TAGLINES A HOME FOR EVERY STAGE OF LIFE.
THE COMMUNITY WE WANT. AND YOUR NEW HOME AWAITS.
AND THIS HELPS TO GOVERN THE THE MESSAGING THAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO SHARE ACROSS THE REGION.
AS A COMMUNITY, ONE OF OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL, I WOULD SAY, PROJECTS IS THE CREATION OF THE VERDE VALLEY COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, WHICH ALLOWS US TO SECURE LAND, TO SECURE HOMES, TO SELL THOSE HOMES AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE.
THE FOCUS OF THE VVCDO IS TO SELL HOMES TO THE MISSING MIDDLE.
IN THE VERDE VALLEY, ESPECIALLY, WE SELL TO THE WEALTHIER, WE'RE PUTTING APARTMENTS IN PLACE AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE HOMES AVAILABLE AT THE 300 AND 400,000 RANGE.
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I WANT TO SAY THE VERDE VALLEY IS DYING.
OUR AVERAGE AGE IS AROUND 60. I BELIEVE IT'S EVEN HIGHER IN SEDONA.
OUR SCHOOLS HAVE CLOSED OR SOME OF THEM HAVE LOST HALF OF THEIR STUDENTS.
SO WE NEED TO BUILD FAMILIES HERE AND TO BRING MORE CHILDREN.
AS A PART OF THAT, WE HAD OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO GET A HOME IN THE TOWN OF JEROME.
WE LEARNED A LOT IN THE PROCESS. IT TOOK ABOUT SIX MONTHS, AND THEN THE JEROME COUNCIL DECIDED THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE LAND TRUST MODEL. THEY WANTED TO SEE IF THEY COULD SELL IT OUTRIGHT AND GET MORE MONEY.
SO THAT SORT OF GOT SHELVED. AT THE SAME TIME, THOUGH, SOMETHING REALLY EXCITING HAPPENED.
WE CULTIVATED A DONOR, AND IN NOVEMBER WE WERE GIVEN 14 ACRES OF LAND ON HIGHWAY TWO 60, VALUED AT ABOUT $550,000. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THAT PROPERTY WITH 45 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT WILL BE SOLD TO THE MIDDLE MISSING MIDDLE INCOME, AND WE ARE SERVING THOSE THAT ARE MAKING 150% OF AMI IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.
SO SOME OF OUR NEXT STEPS ARE TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM.
IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE LAYOUT. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TOWN OF CAMP VERDE AND HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MUTUALLY BENEFIT EACH OTHER. WE OBVIOUSLY ARE CONTINUING TO WORK IN THE FOCUS AREAS OF EDUCATION, OUTREACH, OF WORKING WITH THE MUNICIPAL PRACTICES AND WORKING WITH BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS. IDEALLY, WE CAN WORK WITH EACH DEVELOPER TO GET A COUPLE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSES IN EACH ONE OF THE PROJECTS AS THEY DEVELOP IT, SO THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE THE MIDDLE INCOME WITHIN THE VERDE VALLEY.
OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON RAISING FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
WE ARE RECEIVING OUR MONEY THROUGH THE MUNICIPAL MUNICIPALITIES, BUT ALSO A GREAT DEAL OF PRIVATE SUPPORT FROM CORPORATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL DONORS. ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS THAT HAPPENED, AT LEAST FOR US, A NEW OPPORTUNITY LAST MONTH.
THE DEVELOPER CAME TO US AND ASKED IF WE WOULD BE A $100,000 LENDER TO THAT PROJECT.
WE HAVE SECURED, AND THROUGH SOME OF THE PHILANTHROPISTS HERE IN THE WEST SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, SECURED THE $100,000 IN GRANTS AND HAVE COMMITTED TO DO THAT AS A PART OF THAT, I LIKE TO THINK WE WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THIS PROJECT HAS THE HIGHEST POINTS OF ALL OF THE SUBMITTED LIGHTTECH PROJECTS THROUGH ACROSS THE STATE.
[00:25:01]
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HAVE SOME INFLUENCE IN THAT BEING AWARDED.SO THAT'S VERY QUICK ON WHAT WE DO. BUT THEY SAID TEN MINUTES.
SO I THINK I, I DID MY TEN MINUTES. THANK YOU SO MUCH MARY.
I APPRECIATE QUESTIONS COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD.
AND I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF MAYBE EVEN A PHONE CALL TO SHARE THAT STUFF.
ONE THING WHEN YOU WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS WHERE YOU HAVE THE 155 HOMES BEING BUILT ON 14 ACRES, 45. 45 ON 14, YOU BUILD A, A HOUSE FOR 200,000.
IT'S MARKETABLE FOR 400. WHAT REQUIREMENTS DO YOU PUT SO THAT THE PEOPLE DON'T JUST GET THIS HOME TO SELL THE HOME? OKAY, SO THERE ARE A COUPLE. I MEAN THE HOUSE GETS FIRST OF ALL, THE HOUSE GETS APPRAISED.
THEY ONLY BUY THE VERTICAL PART, FIRST OF ALL.
AND WE SET WE CAN SET THE PRICE OF THAT. THE COST OF THE LAND IS SUBTRACTED AND THEY GET THEY PAY A LEASE OF $100 A MONTH AND THAT'S IN THEIR CONTRACT TO DO THAT. THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE ON WHO THE HOME BUYERS ARE IS THEY HAVE TO HAVE BE SORT OF A FIRST TIME HOME BUYER, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVEN'T OWNED A HOME IN THREE YEARS UNLESS THEY ARE SOMEONE COMING OUT OF AN ABUSE SITUATION OR SOME OTHER KIND OF TRAUMATIC SITUATION THAT HAS COMPLETELY ALTERED THEIR LIFE.
AND THEN THAT THREE YEAR PRIORITY DOESN'T EXIST.
THE HOMES WILL BE, YOU KNOW, SORT OF TWO AND THREE BEDROOMS. SO WE WILL NOT LET A SINGLE PERSON, YOU KNOW, BE BUYING, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE KINDS OF HOUSES.
YOU KNOW, USUALLY IT'S A 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGE.
SO THERE ARE OUR REQUIREMENTS OF RELATIONSHIP, LET'S SAY, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD, THE HOUSE IS GETTING TAKEN CARE OF. ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS.
AND THE HOMES ARE VERY AFFORDABLE, BUT YOU HAVE TO LEASE THE LAND.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S THE LIMITATION. THE LAND IS OURS AND WE WORK WITH THE CITY OR TOWN.
PUTTING MANUFACTURED HOMES IS MORE CHALLENGING IN GOING THROUGH THE MUNICIPAL PROCESSES.
SO, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS.
I MEAN, MY HOPE IS, AND WE'RE CURRENTLY EVEN TALKING ABOUT SOME COUNTY PROPERTY, BUT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HOME OF YOUR OWN PROGRAM THAT THE COUNTY HAS, WHICH IS JUST AMAZING, RIGHT? TALK ABOUT REDUCING A LOT OF COSTS WHEN YOU CAN USE THE SIX, YOU KNOW, MODELS THAT THE COUNTY HAS DESIGNED.
VICE CHAIR CHECK. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO THANK MARY FOR HER PRESENTATION AND HER DILIGENT WORK.
AS WE ALL KNOW, THE HOUSING CRISIS IS REALLY GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
AND I'M SURE THAT'S TRUE OF THE REST OF YAVAPAI COUNTY AS WELL.
AND I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO COME SHARE WITH US LITTLE TODAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MARY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.
YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. PRESENTATION NUMBER TWO, COREY LIBRARY DISTRICT.

SO HOPEFULLY I DIDN'T FORGET ANYBODY. BUT IT WAS A VERY WE HAD A LOT OF GREAT SUBMISSIONS AND A LOT OF DIFFICULTY TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH ONES WERE THE BEST, BUT I THINK WE LANDED AT THE RIGHT PLACE. AND WITH THAT, I WILL HAVE KRISTI KING ANNOUNCE OUR WINNERS AND HAND OUT OUR PRIZES, SO TO SPEAK. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. SO WE WANTED TO START WITH OUR YOUNGEST CATEGORY.

DISTRICT ONE. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO AN UPDATE ON WILDCAT SUBDIVISIONS.AND I JUST WANTED TO FIRST START OFF BY THANKING THE BOARD, EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE BOARD FOR THEIR SUPPORT WHEN IT CAME TO THE SANTA YNEZ DEVELOPMENT AND TURNING IT AROUND. THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN DOWN ONE OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES LEADERSHIP, LEADERSHIP FROM THIS BOARD.
THE BOARD EXEMPLIFIED LEADERSHIP. AND IT SAID NO BECAUSE OF FIRE PROTECTION ISSUES.
SO THE DEVELOPER HIMSELF CHANGED THEIR MIND, HAVE COME BACK WITH 19 LOTS, NOT 336 ACRE SPLITS, NO FURTHER SPLITS ALLOWED WITHIN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE RECORDED AND REFERENCED TO THE PROJECT THAT WILL BE COMING BACK.
SO BASICALLY, HOW YOU CONTROL GROWTH IS LEADERSHIP FROM THIS BOARD AND FIRE WHEN YOU RELATING TO FIRE PROTECTION FOR INDIVIDUAL HOMES, HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE WITH A COUNTY STANDARD AND MAKING SURE THEY HAVE APPROPRIATE FIRE PROTECTION FOR THE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE COMING FORWARD. SO WHEN WE STAND UP TOGETHER AS A BOARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING, THE DEVELOPERS DO THE RIGHT THING.
AND FOR THIS DEVELOPER DOING THE RIGHT THING, I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR DOING THAT AND RECOGNIZING THAT RURAL NEEDS TO STAY RURAL AND APPRECIATE WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO ACQUIESCE TO THE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY OUT IN DISTRICT ONE.
THAT'S IT FOR MY REPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU CHAIR.
