CHAIR COMPTON, VICE CHAIR. CHECK. HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

BRIAN PRIETO, CHIEF OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY ADULT PROBATION DEPARTMENT.

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE, BEFORE I HAND THE MIC OVER TO JUDGE YOUNG AND MY COLLEAGUE, TARA NEWMAN, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY GRATITUDE TO THE BOARD FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT FOR THE WOMEN AND MEN THAT SUPPORT JUVENILE PROBATION OPERATIONS, AS WELL AS ADULT PROBATION OPERATIONS. I WANTED TO JUST SHARE ONE THING.

IN THE PROCLAMATION, IT WAS NOTED THAT CERTAINLY PROBATION LOOKS TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY SAFETY THROUGH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, GIVING VOICE TO VICTIMS. AS THE BOARD KNOWS, SINCE JANUARY OF 2025 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SUPERIOR COURT, ADULT PROBATION HELPED TO STAND UP A RESTITUTION COURT.

RESTITUTION COURT WAS TO HEAR MATTERS OF THOSE CLIENTS OF ADULT PROBATION THAT WERE IN SIGNIFICANT ARREARS OF THEIR RESTITUTION REQUIREMENTS.

I'M HAPPY TO NOTE THAT TO DATE, SINCE JANUARY OF 2025, ADULT PROBATION HAS HELPED TO COLLECT OVER $440,000 IN RESTITUTION PAYMENTS. IN FACT, ONE CLIENT IN THE MONTH OF APRIL OF THIS YEAR PAID

[00:05:11]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. PRIETO.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR COMPTON, VICE CHAIR CHECK.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. TARA NEWMAN, DIRECTOR OF JUVENILE COURT.

AS YOU EACH KNOW, PROBATION OFFICERS OFTEN WORK BEHIND THE SCENES, WHICH IS WHY MOMENTS LIKE TODAY, ALTHOUGH SMALL, IS VERY, VERY SPECIAL. FOR THOSE OF US THAT WORK IN THIS FIELD, BUT EVERY DAY, NIGHT, WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, PROBATION OFFICERS, ADULT AND JUVENILE ARE TRAVELING THROUGHOUT YAVAPAI COUNTY, PROVIDING SUPERVISION, RESOURCES, GUIDANCE AND ULTIMATELY ENSURING THAT THE ORDERS OF THE COURT ARE BEING FOLLOWED.

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A BRIEF MOMENT. I HAVE SEVERAL PROBATION OFFICERS THAT WERE ABLE TO JOIN ME HERE TODAY.

FIRST I HAVE JUSTIN CREDDERFIELD. HE'S BEEN WITH OUR DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

AND TARA KEINE, SHE'S BEEN WITH OUR DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.

AND NOEMI CERVANTES THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THESE OFFICERS DO TREMENDOUS WORK IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO JOIN ME HERE TODAY TO WITNESS THIS PROCLAMATION.

BUT ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND ALL OF OUR STAFF AT JUVENILE COURT, THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING PROBATION AND PAROLE WEEK AND FOR OUR ONGOING EFFORTS HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH EVERYBODY NOW REAL QUICK.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO PRESENTATIONS. JUVENILE PROBATION.

[ PRESENTATIONS]

VICE CHAIR CHECK. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M ANNA YOUNG.

I'M THE PRESIDING JUVENILE JUDGE HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

AND JOINING ME TODAY IS GOING TO BE TARA NEWMAN, WHO IS OUR DIRECTOR OF JUVENILE COURT.

I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME KIND OF OVERALL STATS AND DETENTION FIRST, AND THEN I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO TARA TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PROBATION SIDE. AND SO THIS IS OUR MISSION STATEMENT FOR JUVENILE COURT HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO FOSTERING A STRONGER COMMUNITY BY GUIDING CHILDREN, DEVELOPING SAFE FAMILIES, AND SUPPORTING VICTIMS. WE REALLY VIEW JUVENILE COURT ON THE WHOLE AS A REHABILITATIVE COURT.

AND SO WHEN WE COME IN CONTACT WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER.

WE ARE LOOKING AT HELPING THEIR WHOLE FAMILY AS A WHOLE, AS WELL AS LOOKING AT COMMUNITY SAFETY AND MAKING VICTIMS WHOLE AS WELL.

AND SO WE ALSO ARE INVOLVED IN THE COLLECTION OF RESTITUTION AS WELL.

AND WE ARE A KIDS AT HOPE FACILITY. I KNOW YOU'VE ALL TAKEN THE TOUR OF OUR DETENTION CENTER.

YOU'VE SEEN THE KIDS AT HOPE PLEDGE THAT WE HAVE UP ON THE WALL IN OUR CAFETERIA AREA EVERY MORNING, THE CHILDREN IN OUR DETENTION CENTER, THEY SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, AND THEY SAY THE KIDS AT HOPE PLEDGE BECAUSE WE TRULY BELIEVE THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE CAPABLE OF SUCCESS WITH NO EXCEPTION. SO THE TIMING OF THIS PRESENTATION IS PERFECT BECAUSE WE JUST RECEIVED OUR STATS FOR 2026 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THIS SLIDE IS WE'VE BROKEN DOWN OUR TOP TEN JUVENILE OFFENSES BY CATEGORY.

IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO ME TO SEE TRUANCY AT 11.72%.

WE'VE SEEN A HUGE RISE IN TRUANCY SINCE COVID.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD FOR THE SCHOOLS TO GET KIDS BACK TO THE SCHOOLS.

WE HAVE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS WHO ARE KIND OF EMBEDDED IN THE SCHOOLS TRYING TO HELP WITH THAT TRUANCY ISSUE.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT'S A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE CHARGES THAT WE SEE ARE ACTUALLY TRUANCY REFERRALS.

IT'S IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF THE ASSAULT CHARGES THAT WE SEE.

[00:10:02]

IT'S ILLEGAL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE IN POSSESSION OF TOBACCO.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO RUN AWAY FROM HOME.

WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE KIDS DON'T END UP DEEPER IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM THAN THEY NEED TO BE.

AND AT ANY POINT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST FIRE AWAY.

AND IF I CAN'T ANSWER, TARA PROBABLY CAN. SO PROBATION VIOLATION, 5% OF THE KIDS THAT WE SEE ARE IN ON PROBATION VIOLATION.

SO THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CHILDREN THAT WE GET ON PROBATION, WE REALLY SEE THEM ON ONE CHARGE AND THEY MAKE BETTER CHOICES MOVING FORWARD.

AND THEN THEY, THEY DON'T PENETRATE DEEPER INTO THE SYSTEM.

SO WE BROKE DOWN ALL OF OUR REFERRALS BY THE JUVENILE CITY OF RESIDENCE.

HISTORICALLY, WE'VE HAD ABOUT A ONE THIRD, TWO THIRD SPLIT, ONE THIRD ON THE VERDE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, TWO THIRDS ON THE PRESCOTT SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, I COME OVER TO CAMP VERDE TWICE A MONTH, AND I DO THE DELINQUENCY CALENDAR THERE IN THE MORNING, AND I DO DEPENDENCY CALENDAR IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO WE DON'T GET THAT MANY CHARGES FOR KIDS OR FROM OUT OF COUNTY.

IT'S LESS THAN 1%. BUT THAT'S THAT ONE THIRD, TWO THIRD SPLIT.

AND THEN IN OUR DETENTION CENTER. FISCAL YEAR 2026, WE HAD A TOTAL OF 745 YOUNG PEOPLE DETAINED OVER THE COURSE OF THAT YEAR. OUR JUVENILE POPULATION AVERAGE IS 28, JUST UNDER 30 KIDS PER NIGHT.

I CAN TELL YOU, I CHECKED THIS MORNING ON MY WAY OVER BECAUSE I GET A LIST EVERY MORNING OF ALL THE KIDS WHO ARE IN THE DETENTION CENTER.

WE WERE AT 22 YOUNG PEOPLE THIS MORNING. AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE OUR IN-HOUSE SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT THAT YOU ALL WERE ABLE TO SEE WHEN YOU TOOK THE TOUR OF OUR FACILITY.

SO THOSE ARE THE KIDS JUST IN OUR GENERAL POPULATION.

WE WERE AT 22. OUT OF THOSE 22, ONE IS AN ADULT REMAND.

SO THAT'S A YOUNG PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WHO IS FACING ADULT CHARGES.

PRESUMPTIVELY THEY ARE NOW HELD IN A JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER.

WE HAVE AN AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY OF JUST OVER 26 DAYS FOR JUVENILES WHO ARE IN DETENTION.

THAT DOES INCLUDE OUR ADULT REMAND POPULATION.

AND I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF YOU ABOUT IT BEFORE, THOSE ADULT REMANDS, THEY TEND TO BE WITH US FOR A LONG TIME.

I WENT AHEAD AND I PULLED THE STAT. THE LONGEST A YOUNG PERSON HAS BEEN WITH US WAS 571 DAYS.

I CAN TELL YOU, THE ONLY REASON THAT HE'S NO LONGER IN MY DETENTION CENTER IS BECAUSE HE TURNED 18 IN MAY, AND NOW HE'S IN THE ADULT CENTER. AND SO YOU CAN IMAGINE 571 DAYS IN THE DETENTION CENTER IS A LONG TIME.

WE HAVE AN AMAZING RELATIONSHIP WITH STEVE KING AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE'VE GOT WONDERFUL TEACHERS. WE'VE GOT YEAR ROUND SCHOOL, SO ALL OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN SCHOOLING OF SOME TYPE.

AND MARVIN MCNEESE, WHO IS OUR PRINCIPAL OF OUR PRESCOTT LAKES PARKWAY SCHOOL, WHICH IS WHAT OUR SCHOOL IS CALLED IN OUR DETENTION CENTER FOR OUR GENERAL POPULATION KIDS. SHE CAME TO ME WITH THIS COLLEGE AND CAREER READY LAB PROGRAM.

AND WE HAD THIS IN A SEPARATE AREA OF OUR SCHOOL.

THE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TO LEVEL UP. THEY'VE GOT TO SHOW GOOD BEHAVIOR IN THE DETENTION CENTER TO HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PROGRAMMINGS, PROGRAMING.

BUT IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO HAVE SOME EXPOSURE TO DIFFERENT TRADES WHILE THEY'RE THERE IN THE DETENTION CENTER.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE'VE GOT A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YAVAPAI COLLEGE. WE'VE HAD FOLKS FROM YAVAPAI COLLEGE BE ABLE TO COME IN AND TALK TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DETENTION. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM SIGNED UP FOR YAVAPAI COLLEGE CLASSES BECAUSE, AS WE ALL KNOW, YAVAPAI COLLEGE OFFERS AN AMAZING ARRAY OF CERTIFICATES TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

AND SO WE'VE GOT A 3D PRINTER BACK THERE, HOME MAINTENANCE.

THESE ARE REALLY INTERESTING. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO WELDING BASICS.

THERE'S NO YOU KNOW, ACTUAL EQUIPMENT THERE. BUT WE'VE GOT THE, THE VISOR AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN PUT ON.

THEY CAN LEARN ALL THE BASICS. AND THEN YAVAPAI HAS GOT THIS GREAT WELDING PROGRAM. I'VE ACTUALLY GOT A YOUNG PERSON WHO'S INVOLVED IN THE WELDING PROGRAM RIGHT NOW. HE TELLS ME AMAZING THINGS ABOUT THAT PROGRAM. AND THEN THE ELECTRICITY ELECTRONICS.

WE ALL KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HIRE AN ELECTRICIAN AND IT'S GOING TO COST YOU SOME MONEY.

AND SO IF WE CAN GET KIDS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TRADES WHILE THEY'RE WITH US IN OUR DETENTION CENTER, THEN WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFER TRANSITION THEM TO LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY AND GET THEM ENGAGED IN EDUCATION.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET BETTER OUTCOMES. AND THEN THE COMMUNITY IS SAFER, SAFER BY VIRTUE OF THAT. SO GETTING BACK TO THE 571 DAYS AT OUR BUDGET PRESENTATION, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR NEED FOR OUTDOOR SPACE WHEN WE BUILT THE FACILITY.

THERE WAS NO OUTDOOR SPACE. EACH POD DOES HAVE A SMALL LITTLE RECREATION AREA.

BUT IF YOU'VE GOT A YOUNG PERSON WHO'S IN THE DETENTION CENTER FOR 571 DAYS, IT WOULD BE IDEAL IF THEY HAD A LITTLE OUTDOOR SPACE FOR SOME OUTDOOR PROGRAMING FACILITIES HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. THEY CAME AND THEY WALKED THE PROPERTY WITH OUR DETENTION MANAGER AND OUR DIRECTOR AND MYSELF, AND WE'RE COMING UP WITH A PLAN. AND SO I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN COME TO YOU BEFORE TOO MUCH LONGER WITH AN ASK FOR HOW MUCH THAT WOULD BE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE SOME

[00:15:05]

WE'VE REPURPOSED ONE WING FOR A TREATMENT WING.

WE'VE SHOWN YOU THE THE JOURNEY PROGRAM, WHICH IS OUR IN-HOUSE SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM.

WE'VE GOT OUR TRANSITION SCHOOL FOR YOUTH WHO ARE NOT DETAINED, WHO CAN COME AND HAVE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE AND KIND OF A CLOSELY MONITORED ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY IN OUR BUILDING AND THEN BRIDGES.

AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DIVERT A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE JUSTICE SYSTEM COMPLETELY BY HAVING THEM BE ABLE TO COME AND DO THAT TIME OUT FOR UP TO 23 HOURS IN OUR BRIDGES CENTER.

SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME BEFORE I TURN THAT OVER TO DIRECTOR NEWMAN? YEAH. ON THE 26 DAYS IS THAT KIDS SERVING THEIR TIME? IS THAT THEM WAITING FOR COURT? IT'S A COMBINATION OF THINGS.

GENERALLY, WHEN A YOUNG PERSON GOES TO DISPOSITION, WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL SENTENCING, THEY DON'T GET SENTENCED TO A TERM OF DETENTION.

AND SO GENERALLY, THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DETENTION, THEY'RE EITHER AWAITING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PLACEMENT OR THEY'RE WAITING MAYBE A DCS PLACEMENT, OR THEY ARE PENDING THEIR CHARGES AND WE CAN'T RELEASE THEM SAFELY BACK HOME AT THAT POINT.

BUT GENERALLY THEY'RE NOT SERVING A TERM OF DETENTION AS A CONSEQUENCE FOR THEIR DELINQUENT ACT.

AND THE OTHER QUESTION WAS, I KNOW WITH, WITH WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE TRYING TO PEAK INTEREST, GET THEM TO THINK ABOUT WELDING, GET THEM TO THINK ABOUT ELECTRONICS.

AND WITH THAT COOPERATION WITH THE COLLEGE, HAS THE COLLEGE OFFERED YOU THE VIRTUAL REALITY OPTION TO HAVE IN THE THE JAIL WHERE YOU ACTUALLY PUT ON THE GOGGLES. AND I KNOW BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE WELDING PROGRAM, IT STARTS VIRTUAL REALITY WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WELDING.

IS THAT OPTION AVAILABLE IN THE JAIL? NOT YET.

NOT IN THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER. IT'S NOT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE ADULT JAIL, WHETHER THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO INCORPORATE THAT. I CAN CERTAINLY REACH OUT TO YCSO AND ASK THEM WHETHER THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO INCORPORATE THAT AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AS FAR AS THE EQUIPMENT GOES.

BUT CERTAINLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE OPEN TO BECAUSE HONESTLY, THE MORE WE CAN GET THESE YOUNG PEOPLE INTERESTED IN, IN CAREERS AND TRADES MOVING FORWARD, THE BETTER OFF THEY'RE GOING TO BE.

BECAUSE IN THE BIG PICTURE, THOSE UNITS ARE PRETTY INEXPENSIVE.

AND IF YOU COULD START DOING IT ALL THE BETTER, AND IT REALLY FEELS LIKE THE REAL THING.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR MALLORY. TARA WAS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS A VIRTUAL REALITY COMPONENT OF THE WELDING PROGRAM THROUGH THIS COMPANY, BUT IT'S NOT THE AFFILIATED WITH YAVAPAI COLLEGE, SO.

SUPERVISOR MALLORY. YES. THANK YOU. WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I HAVE A FRIEND LIVE IN THE MARICOPA COUNTY AREA, AND THEIR SON HAS HAD SOME PROBLEMS IN, AS A TEENAGER WOULD GET INTO A LITTLE BIT ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE ABLE TO GET HIM INTO THIS WELDING PROGRAM.

I MEAN, HE'S, HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO A BUSINESS AND HANDS ON.

SO I AM TELLING YOU, IT'S MAKING AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE IN HIS LIFE AND OF COURSE, IN THE FAMILY. AND TO GET HIM OUT OF THAT RUT, TO GET THEM OUT OF THAT WHOLE MESS, THAT WHOLE THEY FALL INTO, IT'S, IT'S VERY GRATEFUL FOR THESE PROJECTS. SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT ALL OF YOU DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU JUDGE YOUNG.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, I GET I GET THE OPPORTUNITY ON THIS ON THIS DAY THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD THE PROCLAMATION TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT DEEPER OVERVIEW OF PROBATION, JUVENILE PROBATION SERVICES HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY.

WE HAVE TWO TWO MAJOR FORMS OF SUPERVISED JUVENILE PROBATION HERE, THE FIRST ONE BEING STANDARD PROBATION.

AND THAT'S THE MOST COMMON FORM OF SUPERVISED PROBATION THAT JUVENILES GET PLACED ON.

SECONDLY WE HAVE JIPS, WHICH STANDS FOR JUVENILE INTENSIVE PROBATION SUPERVISION.

AND THE YOUTH THAT ARE PLACED ON THIS FORM OF SUPERVISION DO REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT.

WELL, ACTUALLY I SHOULD SAY A SIGNIFICANT MORE HIGHER AMOUNT OF SUPERVISION.

JUVENILES THAT ARE ON STANDARD PROBATION ARE TYPICALLY SEEN UP TO FOUR TIMES A MONTH.

KIDS THAT ARE ON JUVENILE INTENSIVE PROBATION ARE SEEN UP TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK.

SO THE SUPERVISION ASPECT BETWEEN THOSE TWO FORMS OF SUPERVISED PROBATION IS VASTLY DIFFERENT.

WE HAVE 18 JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS HERE IN YAVAPAI COUNTY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUNTAIN, AND ONE SURVEILLANCE OFFICER AND OUR SURVEILLANCE OFFICER IS ALSO BADGED.

AND THE SURVEILLANCE OFFICER HELPS THE PROBATION OFFICER WITH GETTING THOSE CONTACTS IN THE COMMUNITY.

[00:20:09]

AGAIN, FOR FISCAL YEAR 26, WE HAD 418 JUVENILES PLACED ON STANDARD PROBATION.

76 WERE PLACED ON INTENSIVE PROBATION, 74% OF OFFENSES WERE MISDEMEANORS AND 26% WERE FELONIES.

AS CHIEF PRIETO HAD DISCUSSED EARLIER, A LOT OF TIMES INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE PLACED ON PROBATION HAVE VICTIMS. AND WITH THAT COMES RESTITUTION ORDERS FROM THE COURT TO WHERE PROBATIONERS HAVE TO PAY BACK THAT MONEY.

AND IN FISCAL YEAR 26, WE HAD JUST OVER $46,000 COLLECTED.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, TOO, THAT WHEN JUVENILES ARE PLACED ON PROBATION, WHERE THEY DO HAVE RESTITUTION, THAT THEY THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY BACK, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COME OFF OF PROBATION UNTIL THAT MONEY HAS BEEN PAID IN WHOLE TO THE VICTIM.

BECAUSE THE BEST THING THAT WE CAN DO, THE LEAST THING THAT WE CAN DO FOR VICTIMS IS MAKE THEM WHOLE, AT LEAST FINANCIALLY. 57% OF JUVENILES PLACED ON PROBATION WERE MALE AND 42% FEMALE.

WE ALSO ALL KIDS THAT ARE PLACED ON PROBATION, WHETHER IT'S STANDARD OR JIPS, ARE ALSO ORDERED BY THE COURT BY JUDGE YOUNG TO COMPLETE COMMUNITY SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND IN FISCAL YEAR 26, OVER 10,000 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE WAS CONDUCTED BY JUVENILES ON PROBATION. OVER TO THE RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE A PHOTOGRAPH ACTUALLY OF ONE OF OUR PROJECTS.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY HERE IN THE COTTONWOOD COMMUNITY, AND WE HAD THE COTTONWOOD TOWN OF TOWN OF COTTONWOOD REACH OUT TO US AND ASK FOR OUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROJECT. AND THERE IS THE AFTER PHOTO.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE PROJECTS WE DO HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND JUDGE YOUNG TOUCHED BRIEFLY ON KOURNEY, OUR SUBSTANCES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM AS WELL AS BRIDGES, OUR ASSESSMENT CENTER. AND THIS IS JUST SOME ADDITIONAL STATISTICS.

BRIDGES KIDS, THOSE ARE KIDS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DIVERT AWAY FROM OUR SYSTEM AND GETTING DEEPER DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE.

WE HAD 372 KIDS FILTERED THROUGH BRIDGES. AND IN OUR JOURNEY PROGRAM, THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM, WE HAD 26 KIDS GO THROUGH THAT PROGRAM. OVER HERE TO THE RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE A PHOTOGRAPH.

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE ALL BEEN ON THE TOUR AND HAVE SEEN THIS, BUT THIS IS JUST OUR EFFORT TO TRY TO MAKE OUR TREATMENT WING OF THE DETENTION FACILITY LOOK AS LEAST JAIL LIKE AS POSSIBLE, AND MORE CONDUCIVE OF AN ENVIRONMENT TO THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM.

AND I AM NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS, BUT I JUST WANTED YOU GUYS TO HAVE A VISUAL OF ALL THE ARRAY OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT JUVENILE COURT PROVIDE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE OPEN FOR ANY, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE? COMMENTS, QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR MALLORY. THANK YOU CHAIR.

WELL, I JUST HAVE TO PUT THIS OUT THERE. YOU DO HAVE AN ACADEMY THAT YOU OFFER.

COULD YOU SPEAK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT? YES, ABSOLUTELY. EVERY FALL AND ACTUALLY IT'S STARTING, I BELIEVE, SEPTEMBER 10TH.

WE HAVE A JUVENILE COURT INSTITUTE AND IT'S FIVE WEEKS LONG.

IT'S EVERY THURSDAY ROUGHLY, I THINK IT'S 3 TO 6 P.M.

AND IT'S A REALLY AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO GO THROUGH THAT FIVE WEEK PROGRAM AND LEARN ALL THE DIFFERENT FACETS OF JUVENILE COURT. THERE'S ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE JUVENILE COURT INSTITUTE TO OBSERVE A COURT DAY TO GO ON A RIDE ALONG WITH A PROBATION OFFICER AND REALLY DO A DEEP DIVE INTO ALL THESE PROGRAMS AND ALL THE SERVICES JUVENILE COURT DOES OFFER IN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I JUST THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO GET THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE BECAUSE YOU ARE BEHIND THE SCENES.

BUT THERE IS SO MUCH BEING DONE IN THIS COMMUNITY THAT HELPS SAVE CHILDREN'S LIVES, AND THAT IS SO IMPORTANT.

I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. HI, LADIES.

IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN THAT COME IN WITH EMOTIONAL AND, AND MENTAL CHALLENGES.

I KNOW THAT'S PART OF UNDERLYING ISSUES WHY THEY END UP IN JUVENILE DETENTION.

IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT. AND THEN I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION AFTER THAT.

ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. YOU KNOW, THE KIDS THAT ARE BROUGHT INTO OUR SYSTEM, THEY COME TO US WITH AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT BARRIERS AND ISSUES THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH.

[00:25:09]

OUR PROBATION OFFICERS HAVE EXTENSIVE TRAINING IN HELPING TO IDENTIFY THAT, CONNECT THEM TO RESOURCES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE AND REALLY WALK ALONGSIDE THOSE KIDS. THOSE KIDS NEED OUR EXTRA SUPPORT WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THAT.

SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THOSE CASES.

AND YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE, WE WALK ALONGSIDE THOSE KIDS TO HELP THEM EACH STEP OF THE WAY.

SO MY LAST IS JUST A COMMENT, THE WONDERFUL WORK THAT YOU ALL DO.

I'VE GOT TO KNOW MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS AND THE IMPACT THAT HAS ON THE KIDS.

IT, IT MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FOR THEM TO COME OUT OF JUVENILE DETENTION WITH THE GED WHERE THEY CAN GET A JOB IS HUGE.

JOURNEY IS HUGE. SO PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THESE PROGRAMS. ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT THEM BECAUSE I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IN THESE KIDS.

THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND EVERYTHING FOR ALL, NOT JUST WHAT THEY DO, BUT FOR WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISH FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY.

IT'S VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NOTES FOR THE RECORD, BOARD ACKNOWLEDGED THE EXECUTION OF TWO LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR YPLANS AZ SMART GRANT APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE SAFE STREETS AND ROADS

[ NOTES FOR THE RECORD]

MOVING ON TO CONSENT, I BELIEVE, CLERK, WE'RE PULLING 14, 15, 21 AND 23 FOR SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

[ 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. 14, 15, 21, AND 23.]

SECOND. CALL FOR THE VOTE. VICE CHAIR CHECK. YES.

SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES.

SUPERVISOR MALLORY. YES. AND CHAIR COMPTON. YES.

THAT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. CONSENT 14. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

[14. Juvenile Probation - Approve a five-year (5) Universal Affiliation Agreement with Northern Arizona University permitting university interns to gain educational experience at Yavapai County Juvenile Court. YC Contract No. 2026-229]

I'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED IT. I THINK IT GIVES PEOPLE EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT, MAYBE GET THEM INTO OUR FIELD TO BE FUTURE EMPLOYEES.

AND IT GIVES US A LITTLE RELIEF. THAT DOESN'T REALLY COST US A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.

BUT I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THIS CAME BEFORE THE BOARD IS BECAUSE I WANTED TO HAVE AN INTERN COME IN, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERNS BROUGHT UP DURING THAT TIME, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE ADDRESSED.

I KNOW SUPERVISOR CHECK HAD CONCERNS THAT WE WERE GIVING ACCESS TO SECURE AREAS FOR PEOPLE, AND SHE FELT LIKE THERE WAS SENSITIVE AREAS THAT MAYBE INTERNS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET TO.

AND THAT LED TO ANOTHER SUPERVISOR ASKING THAT A POLICY BE CREATED FOR THESE INTERNS. AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE BOARD STILL HAD THESE CONCERNS WITH HAVING INTERNS WHERE WE ACTUALLY WANTED TO VET EVERY INTERN THAT CAME THROUGH THE OFFICE.

AND WAS THAT POLICY CREATED? VICE CHAIR CHECK.

I CAN SPEAK JUST A LITTLE BIT TO MY CONCERN. I PART OF THE CONCERN I HAD MOST RECENTLY WAS CENTERED AROUND UNDERSTANDING JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND BUDGET IMPACT.

LIKE IF THESE INTERN POSITIONS ARE SUPER USEFUL, WOULD WE EVENTUALLY CREATE POSITIONS FROM THEM JUST TO CREATE A STRING OF KNOWLEDGE AS FAR BACK AS WE, YOU KNOW, WERE ABLE TO AND SO I KNOW JARED FRIEDLAND, I THINK, IS HE STILL HERE? YEAH, HE'S STILL HERE. TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE PROCESS.

I'M, I'M SATISFIED, YOU KNOW, THINKING THAT IN THE FUTURE WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK OUT SOME OF THESE BUMPS A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

BUT I'M, I'M SATISFIED WITH THE PROCESS THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE HERE.

BUT GO AHEAD. JARED. YES. CHAIR COMPTON. VICE CHAIR CHECK, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC POLICY THAT WE HAVE THAT OUTLINES AN INTERN AGREEMENT.

AND SO I THINK SOME TIME AGO PRIOR TO MY POSITION, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT INTERN AGREEMENTS WOULD COME BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR REVIEW FOR THIS VERY SPECIFIC PURPOSE THAT WE WOULD PUT IN A SCOPE OF WORK TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT ACCESS THEY WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION MATERIAL THAT THEY MIGHT USE AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT JPO HAS DONE THAT AS WELL.

AND THAT'S HOW WE'VE, WE'VE HANDLED IT GOING FORWARD.

NOW, IF THERE IS A POLICY THAT NEEDS TO BE CREATED, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO DRAFT ONE AND LET COUNTY MANAGEMENT REVIEW FOR, FOR BOARD REVIEW. I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE POLICY THAT, THAT NOT A POLICY, THE PROCEDURE THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING WITH IS THAT ANY TIME THAT THERE IS A REQUEST OR A WANT OR DESIRE FOR AN INTERN

[00:30:07]

SUPERVISOR MALLORY. YEAH, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, IS THIS A CONTRACT THAT WE'VE HAD BEFORE.

HAVE WE DONE THIS CONTRACT BEFORE? OUR DEPARTMENT HAS NEVER BEEN REQUESTED FROM NOW TO TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT LIKE THIS.

SO THIS THIS PIECE IS NEW FOR US AS WELL. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER. I'M SORRY. SO SO GENERALLY WE HAVE TWO TYPES OF INTERNS.

SOME OF THEM DON'T EVEN REQUIRE CONTRACTS. AND IT'S JUST LIKE A VOLUNTEER, RIGHT? AND THEY COME IN AND, AND THEY WORK FOR US FOR ABSOLUTELY, YOU KNOW, NO FINANCIAL GAIN OR ANYTHING ELSE.

AND THEN SOME ORGANIZATIONS, EMBRY-RIDDLE NAU, YAVAPAI COLLEGE.

THEY DO REQUIRE AN ACTUAL CONTRACT ITSELF. AND IT'S REALLY FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK TO REALLY HELP THE COLLEGE OR THE INSTITUTION UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE CREDIT THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL IS GOING TO GET.

WE HAVE NEVER TAKEN AN INTERN AND TRANSLATED THEM INTO A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE.

NOW, WE'VE GOTTEN SOME APPLICATIONS FROM INTERNS FOLLOWING THEIR INTERN AGREEMENT, BUT WE HAVE NEVER FULLY TRANSITIONED AN INTERN INTO INTO AN EMPLOYEE. ANY OTHER COMMENT? YEAH, JUST TO MAKE SURE.

SO WE NO LONGER DESIRE TO VET EACH INDIVIDUAL INTERN AS A BOARD AND SUPERVISOR JENKINS, YOU'RE OKAY WITH US NOT HAVING A POLICY BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR THAT POLICY. OKAY. I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS YOU'RE GOING TO COME BEFORE US EVERY TIME THAT YOU HAVE AN INTERN AGREEMENT. CORRECT. IF THERE WAS AN ACTUAL AGREEMENT THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE THAT THIS IS HERE.

FROM MY PREDECESSOR, THAT WAS WHAT WAS COMMUNICATED TO ME.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE BOARD STILL WISHES TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD OR IF THEY WANT TO CHANGE THAT PROCESS.

I'D BE HAPPY TO RUN IT THROUGH COUNTY MANAGEMENT.

BUT HOWEVER YOU GUYS SEE FIT, WE WILL CONTINUE EITHER IN THAT DIRECTION OR WE CAN DEVELOP A NEW PLAN.

I'M SATISFIED WITH YOU COMING BEFORE US. SUPERVISOR MALLORY.

SO TODAY BEFORE US IS TO APPROVE THIS CONTRACT, WHICH ACTUALLY WE DID NOT INITIATE.

APPARENTLY IT'S THE ORGANIZATION WE'RE THINKING OF BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH.

WE. WE NEVER INITIATE THEM. OKAY. WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS YAVAPAI COUNTY COLLEGE WILL REACH OUT, RIGHT? EMBRY-RIDDLE WILL REACH OUT, NAU AND THEY SAY, HEY, WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT IS INTERESTED IN ACCOUNTING, HR, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. OKAY, SO WE DON'T EVER SEEK THE INTERN.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING, I MEAN, WE'RE HERE TO LOOK AT THIS.

SOME OF THE CONVERSATION SEEMS TO BE ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, BUT THAT MIGHT BE MY MISUNDERSTANDING.

THANK YOU. COUNTY MANAGER. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIRECTION WAS TO CLARIFY THE CONTRACTS THAT WERE COMING THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THEY CAME THROUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THEM BEING APPROVED LOWER THAN THE BOARD.

AND THE FIRST STEP WAS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAME TO THE BOARD.

AND THEN THE SECOND STEP THAT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE BOARD WAS TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS CLEARLY SOME INFORMATION IN THE CONTRACTS.

SO THAT WAS WHAT I THOUGHT OUR DIRECTION, IF YOU WANT US TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT.

BUT I THINK THIS SETS FORTH KIND OF ANSWERING WHAT QUESTIONS CAME UP.

THE NEXT THING I WOULD SAY IS SOMETIMES WE, I MEAN, I WILL BE HONEST, AND THAT'S WHAT YOUR HR DIRECTOR WAS GETTING AT, IS YOU SOMETIMES HAVE THESE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE, YOU MIGHT HIRE THEM THROUGH OTHER METHODS AND THEY'RE GETTING CREDITS THROUGH THEIR SCHOOL. THEY MAY BE A SEASONAL OR PART TIME PERSON.

SO THIS MAY BE SOMETHING GOING ON WITHOUT CONTRACTS.

YOU'RE SEEING THE ONES THAT COME ON BOARD AS PART OF CONTRACTS BECAUSE IT IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND NAU.

WE CAN LOOK AT IT A DIFFERENT METHOD, BUT THIS IS THE MOST COMMON METHOD THAT COMES UP RIGHT NOW.

CORRECT. YES, THAT'S. THAT'S CORRECT. VICE CHAIR.

THANK YOU. PHIL. I, I THINK THAT SUMS UP MY MEMORY AS WELL, THAT WE WERE CONCERNED THAT APPROVALS WOULD BE MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT THE BOARD'S KNOWLEDGE. AND, AND JUST, YOU KNOW, THE BOARD IS, HAS THE DESIRE TO, TO KNOW HOW INTERNS REALLY FIT INTO OUR EMPLOYMENT PIECE.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR DOING THAT WORK. I'M COMFORTABLE SO LONG AS THEY CONTINUE TO COME FORWARD AS THAT PROCESS AND PROCEDURE TO THE BOARD.

I DON'T BELIEVE WE NEED A POLICY AT THIS TIME.

BUT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO CONSIDER IF ONE WOULD BE MEANINGFUL TO YOU.

YEAH. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. AND, AND IN THE MEANTIME, IF I NEED TO DRAFT A POLICY JUST FOR CONSIDERATION, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AS WELL. IS THERE A MOTION.

I'LL MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 14.

YC Contract No. 2026-275V APPROVED BY 4 TO 1 VOTE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO OPPOSED.]

THEY THEY LEAVE THESE DIFFERENT AREAS. AND I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW THEY WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED AND WHAT WOULD WE DO TO GET THEM BACK SO THAT WE HAVE THEM TO USE IN THE FUTURE? MR.. BRENNAN. YES, GOOD MORNING, CHAIR, VICE CHAIR.

SUPERVISOR. ACTUALLY, I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

I KNOW THIS ITEM WAS PULLED LATE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE LIBRARY DISTRICT DIRECTOR RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE ITEM BEING PULLED.

IF YOU DO HAVE UNRESOLVED ISSUES, I SUGGEST THAT THE MATTER BE CONTINUED TO THE NEXT MEETING AND WE COULD PROVIDE THE INFORMATION IN THE INTERIM OR AT THAT MEETING SO THAT THE BOARD CAN TAKE, BE ADVISED AND TAKE ACTION AT THAT TIME.

IS THERE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS UNTIL WE GET FURTHER INFORMATION.

IS THERE A SECOND? IS THERE A SECOND? EXCUSE ME.

I SEE THE ASSISTANT LIBRARY DISTRICT DIRECTOR OVER IN PRESCOTT.

I'M NOT SURE IF THEIR SOUND IS WORKING, BUT SHE IS PRESENT.

THEY DON'T HAVE SOUND. THIRD CALL FOR SECOND.

YC Contract Nos. 2026-282 through 2026-285]

IT'S JUST MORE INFORMATION DEEPER THAN WHAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE PACKET.

SUPERINTENDENT KING. BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE WE'RE HOOKING UP WITH A LOT OF OTHER AREAS, A LOT OF OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS OUTSIDE OUR AREA.

AND JUST AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, ACTUALLY.

BUT YEAH, IT SURE IS. THANK YOU SUPERVISORS. I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. WE'VE HAD THESE THESE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE FOR THAT MATTER.

FOR 13, 14 YEARS SINCE THE E-RATE PROGRAM HAS BEEN THERE.

AND WHAT IT DOES IS, IS WE CONTRACT WITH THE DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE THOSE E-RATE SERVICES.

MOSTLY THOSE ARE IN THE WRITING OF THE CONTRACTS. THE FACILITATION OF THOSE FUNDS ARE COMING DOWN FROM THE FEDS THAT ARE THEN DIRECTED TO THE LIBRARIES AND SCHOOLS, AS I SAID, ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE, TO FUND THEIR INTERNET ACCESS AS WELL.

SO THAT HAPPENS, AND THE BENEFIT TO OUR COUNTY AND TO OUR AGENCY IN PARTICULAR, IS THAT WE RETAIN A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY FOR THAT TO FUND OTHER PROGRAMS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S THAT'S THE IDEA OF IT. IT'S BEEN GOING ON A LONG TIME AND IT'S A CONTINUATION.

OKAY. HEY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I MOVE TO APPROVE CONSENT ITEM NUMBER 21.

SECOND. CALL FOR THE VOTE. VICE CHAIR CHECK. YES.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD OUTFIT ALL THE TRUCKS WITH THAT.

WHEN OTHER PEOPLE USE THIS SYSTEM AS A HOTSPOT, DOES THAT GO INTO SOME KIND OF PUBLIC RECORD THROUGH THIS SYSTEM? COME ON FORWARD, SIR. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR, VICE CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M LIEUTENANT WARBURTON FROM THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. I CAN SPEAK TO BERLA. SO BERLA IS AN EXTRACTION TOOL FROM THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER. SO THE DATA THAT'S STORED WITHIN THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER ON A VEHICLE, IT'S THE TOOL USED TO EXTRACT THAT DATA, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

AND I CAN IF YOU COULD ASK YOUR QUESTION ONE MORE TIME, JUST SO I'M BECAUSE I REALIZE IT'S PICKING UP LIKE HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING, HOW HARD YOU WERE BRAKING, PROBABLY THINGS LIKE THAT.

WHEN WE HOOK IN THE SATELLITE THAT HOOKS UP TO STARLINK FOR THE RADIOS, WHICH IS GIVING YOU GUYS GREAT RANGE.

IT CAN ALSO BE USED AS A HUB FOR OTHERS AROUND THAT CAR IF NEED BE.

WOULD THAT INFORMATION GO INTO THIS SYSTEM? I DON'T KNOW WAS A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWER BECAUSE I, I CAUGHT THIS LATE MYSELF.

SO EXTRAPOLATE ANYTHING THAT IS CONNECTED TO IT OR HAS HAD CONNECTED OR HAD CONSENT TO CONNECT.

[00:40:06]

[1. Board of Supervisors - Consider such action as may be required regarding an appeal to the Board of Supervisors of Administrative Hearing Officer Case No. 25-013324, County of Yavapai v. Kurt R. Womack. APPROVED BY 4 TO 1 VOTE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO OPPOSED.]

GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. MARK LUSSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

BEFORE YOU IS A CONSIDERATION OF SUCH ACTION FOR AN APPEAL TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE, AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OFFICER. CASE NUMBER 25-013324 COUNTY OF YAVAPAI VERSUS KURT R.

WOMACK. ON APRIL 14TH, 2026 THIS CASE WAS HEARD IN FRONT OF OUR YAVAPAI COUNTY HEARING OFFICER.

THE HEARING OFFICER FOUND THE DEFENDANT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLATIONS OF YAVAPAI COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING ORDINANCE AND BUILDING CODE ON HIS PARCEL, APN NUMBER 103-13-113, LOCATED IN SUPERVISOR DISTRICT FIVE, SUPERVISOR MALLORY.

THE DEFENDANT WAS FOUND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS AN OUTSIDE STORAGE OR STEEL STORAGE CONTAINER LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY IN AN R1 L ZONING DISTRICT.

THE DEFENDANT SUBSEQUENTLY APPEALED THE DECISION OF THE HEARING OFFICER TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON APRIL 27TH, PER THE YAVAPAI COUNTY HEARING OFFICER RULES OF PROCEDURES FOR LAND USE AND BUILDING VIOLATIONS AND ARS11-815G.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO CONSIDER REVIEW WILL BE LIMITED TO THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE HEARING OFFICER DURING THE CASE, ALONG WITH THE APPEAL MEMORANDUMS FROM THE DEFENDANT AND THE COUNTY.

NO NEW EVIDENCE WILL BE ALLOWED. THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD WILL PRESIDE THE MEETING AND THE BOARD, AND MAY ALLOW BOARD MEMBERS TO DIRECT QUESTIONS TO THE DEFENDANT AND TO THE COUNTY REGARDING THE RECORD OF THE HEARING.

AFTER CONSIDERING THE APPEAL, THE BOARD HAS SEVERAL OPTIONS THAT THEY CAN DO.

UPHOLD ALL, ALL OR PART OF THE HEARING OFFICER'S DECISION.

REVERSE ALL OR PART OF THE HEARING OFFICER'S DECISION.

SEND THE MATTER BACK TO THE HEARING OFFICER FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION.

INCREASE, DECREASE OR MODIFY ANY OF THE CIVIL PENALTIES SET BY THE HEARING OFFICER OR EXTEND.

SHORTEN OR MODIFY THE DATE SET FOR COMPLIANCE FOR THE VIOLATION.

YOU FINISHED MARC? I'M FINISHED. OKAY. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE ANY GREEN SHEETS RELATED TO THIS ITEM WILL BE HEARD AT A CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

IS THERE ANYBODY HERE ON BEHALF OF MR. WOMACK? NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE, SIR. I KNOW MR. WOMACK IS HERE HIMSELF, IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU.

WELL, I, YOU KNOW MR. WOMACK, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU HAD AN ATTORNEY.

NO? OKAY. ARE YOU MR. WOMACK? COME ON UP. GOOD MORNING, SIR.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. YES. GOOD MORNING. SUPERVISORS.

MY NAME IS KURT WOMACK. I AM THE DEFENDANT. MICHAEL SCHUMACHER HERE TO MY LEFT HERE, HE DID FILL OUT THE GREEN SHEET.

HE IS GOING TO SPEAK IN THE CALL TO THE PUBLIC AT THE END OF THIS.

I DO NOT HAVE AN ATTORNEY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? OKAY. WELL, I DO, BUT. OKAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS.

WELL, YOU KNOW, AT THIS TIME I'VE READ ALL THE BACKUP MATERIAL.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO US. DO ANY OF MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS HAVE ANY COMMENTS? ABSOLUTELY. YES, SIR. GO AHEAD. YOU KNOW, I DID.

I WENT THROUGH ALL THIS STUFF. I MEAN, THERE'S TONS OF BACKUP. THE DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN GREAT ON THIS.

AND I JUST THINK THIS IS SHOWING THIS IS HAS TO DO WITH SHIPPING CONTAINERS.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE HOPING TO CAPTURE ON OUR ZONING STUDY.

AND WE ARE FALLING WAY BEHIND ON THIS. THIS, MY QUESTION, ONE OF MY QUESTIONS TO MARK WOULD BE, WAS THIS AN ANONYMOUS COMPLAINT OR WAS THIS A COMPLAINT WITH SOMEBODY'S NAME ON IT? DO YOU KNOW? ALL RIGHT. ANYWAYS, WHEN IT CAME IN BECAUSE IF YOU DRIVE AROUND THIS COUNTY, THERE'S VIOLATIONS OF THIS EVERYWHERE.

PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY WITH IT. RIGHT NOW WE ALLOW ONE 40 FOOT SHIPPING CONTAINER OR 2 20S, BASICALLY 396FT² OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS. THE THING TO DO NOW THAT YOU SEE EVERYWHERE OUT IN THE OPEN IS HAVE TWO 40S WITH A CANOPY ABOVE.

AS PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH BUILDING COSTS AND THE COST TO ACTUALLY PUT A STRUCTURE IN A GARAGE,

[00:45:05]

ARIZONA SUN, WHICH KILLS EVERYTHING. I HAD RECENTLY GIVEN CHINO VALLEY HAS PASSED AN ORDINANCE THAT ADDRESSES THIS AND MAKES IT A MODERN THING. I'VE GIVEN THAT INFORMATION TO MARK, AND IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME VETTING IT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US MOVE FORWARD WITH PUTTING SOMETHING IN NOW, RATHER THAN WAITING THREE YEARS FOR OUR ZONING STUDY TO BE DONE.

MR.. MR.. BRENNAN. SUPERVISOR. YOU'RE GOING IN A DIFFERENT.

GO AHEAD SIR. YEAH. I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME. IF WE COULD LIMIT DISCUSSION TO THE MATTERS BEFORE THE BOARD.

I MOVED TO UPHOLD ALL THE HEARING OFFICER'S DECISION.

IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. CALL FOR THE VOTE.

THIS IS WRONG. VICE CHAIR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. NO. SUPERVISOR MALLORY.

YES. CHAIR. COMPTON. YES. THAT PASSED 4 TO 1.

THANK YOU, SIR, FOR YOUR TIME. MOVING ON TO ACTION NUMBER TWO.

[2. County Attorney - Approve a two-year (2) contract with Karpel Solutions in the amount of $256,800.00 for the continued use of Prosecutor by Karpel. YC Contract No. 2026-252]

I'M BILL HUGHES, I'M THE CHIEF DEPUTY AT THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

WE HAVE COME BEFORE THE BOARD ON A COUPLE ITEMS. NUMBER TWO, ON THE ACTION AGENDA IS A REQUEST FOR A NEW CONTRACT WITH KARPEL.

MY OFFICE USES KARPEL SOFTWARE. IT'S CALLED PBK.

IT'S SORT OF THE HEART AND SOUL OF HOW MY OFFICE GETS ITS WORK DONE.

SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD MAY RECALL BACK IN 2016, AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT, WE MOVED TO A PAPERLESS OFFICE. WE'VE AUTOMATED A LOT OF THE WORK THAT WE DO, WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY CUT NOT JUST OFFICE SUPPLIES, BUT ALLOWS US TO DO A LOT MORE WORK, A LOT MORE EFFICIENTLY WITH LESS PEOPLE.

OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, KARPEL HAS REALLY NOT INCREASED THEIR COSTS FOR THEIR SOFTWARE.

THIS NEW CONTRACT THEY HAVE NOW, AFTER TEN YEARS, INCREASED THEIR COSTS.

I WOULD SUBMIT, I THINK IT'S A MODEST INCREASE, BUT BUT IN ANY EVENT, WE NEED A NEW CONTRACT WITH PBK.

AND, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS HAS REQUESTED FOR. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SIR. ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD. MOVE TO APPROVE ACTION TWO.

I'LL SECOND. CALL FOR THE VOTE. VICE CHAIR CHECK.

YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

SUPERVISOR MALLORY. YES. CHAIR COMPTON. YES. THAT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU SIR. ACTION NUMBER THREE AGAIN, SIR.

[3. County Attorney - Approve a two-year (2) contract with Axon Enterprises, Inc. for Justice Premier in the amount of $338,705.37. YC Contract No. 2026-291 ]

THIS IS A SECOND CONTRACT. IT'S WITH AXON. AXON IS THE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES BODY CAMS TO OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND MANY OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY. AND THIS SOFTWARE ALLOWS THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO ACCESS THAT, TO REVIEW THE THE THE VIDEO TO MAKE REDACTIONS, WHICH BY LAW, WE HAVE TO DO.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF THERE'S A VIDEO WHERE A VICTIM OF A CRIME GIVES HER NAME OR SAYS WHERE SHE WORKS OR GIVES HER SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER, WE HAVE TO FIND THAT IN THE VIDEO. WE HAVE TO REDACT IT.

AND VIDEOS HAVE TO BE DISCLOSED IN A VERY QUICK PERIOD OF TIME.

SO ALL THAT HAS TO BE DONE QUICKLY. THIS SOFTWARE ALSO GIVES A LOT OF OTHER PLUSES TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE THAT PROBABLY BY THEMSELVES AREN'T A REASON TO TO GO AHEAD, BUT THE REDACTION CERTAINLY IS.

THAT'S THE BIG ONE. BUT SOME OF THESE OTHER PLUSES THAT ARE VERY HELPFUL TO US.

IT WILL ALLOW TRANSCRIPTION. IT WILL ALLOW US TO SEARCH VIDEOS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF A PERSON SAYS THE WORD GUN OR SOMEONE SAYS THE WORD MIRANDA, WE CAN QUICKLY SEARCH A VIDEO AND FIND THAT, IT PROVIDES TRANSLATION SERVICES AND TRANSCRIPTION, WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL.

THE COST OF TRANSLATION, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH MAYBE A LANGUAGE THAT ISN'T AS COMMON IN THE COUNTY.

IF YOU HAVE A VISITOR DRIVING THROUGH AND THEY'RE SPEAKING A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, THAT CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO GET A TRANSCRIPT AND A AND TRANSCRIPTION OF WHAT SOMEONE SAYS IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE ALLOWS US TO VERY QUICKLY PROCESS THAT VIDEO AND DETERMINE ITS EVIDENTIARY VALUE.

IT ALSO, THE CONTRACT ALLOWS US TO STORE EVIDENCE FROM OTHER AGENCIES, NOT JUST AXON.

SO A NUMBER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THIS COUNTY USE OTHER SOFTWARE OTHER THAN AXON, BUT THEY STILL ARE CREATING VIDEO OR THEY'RE SEIZING CELL PHONES AND THEY HAVE THIS DIGITAL EVIDENCE. THIS PLATFORM GIVES US THE STORAGE CAPACITY TO STORE THAT, TO DO THE SAME SORT OF REDACTION, SAME SORT OF SEARCHING. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

YC Contract No. 2026-278 (District 2 - Supervisor Jenkins; District 3 - Supervisor Check)]

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M CHRIS STEELE, YOUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

BEFORE YOU TODAY IS AN ITEM TO REQUEST APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF COTTONWOOD THAT WOULD INCREASE THE BUDGETED CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT OF $57,000 FOR THE COTTONWOOD AREA TRANSIT SYSTEM BY $11,841, FOR TOTAL CONTRIBUTION OF $141.

THE COTTONWOOD AREA TRANSIT SYSTEM HANDLES A FIXED ROUTE AND PARATRANSIT FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS IN AND AROUND THE VERDE VILLAGE AREA, AND DOES PROVIDE A GOOD SERVICE FOR THOSE RESIDENTS.

THIS INCREASE REFLECTS INCREASED USE OF PARATRANSIT SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE FOR THOSE PARATRANSIT SERVICES, WITH THE PARATRANSIT IN THE AREA BEING $62,338 OF THAT TOTAL CONTRIBUTION AND $6,503 BEING USED FOR THAT FIXED ROUTE SERVICE THROUGH VERDE VILLAGES.

SO WE'D ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM, AND IF NOT, WE WOULD REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF COTTONWOOD.

VICE CHAIR CHECK. THANK YOU. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, UNINCORPORATED COTTONWOOD HAS AS MANY PEOPLE, IF NOT MORE THAN INCORPORATED COTTONWOOD.

AND SO THEY PROVIDE AN AMAZING SERVICE WITH CAT.

AND WE'VE, YOU KNOW, MET SEVERAL TIMES TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS AND WORK TO FIND EQUITY IN IN HOW TO FUND THIS SYSTEM.

SO I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK HERE AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT.

SUPERVISOR JENKINS. YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.

THIS ITEM ISN'T BUDGETED FOR BECAUSE THIS THE REVISED FIGURES CAME IN AFTER BUDGET DISCUSSION.

DO YOU HAVE. IS THERE IN THE FUTURE WILL. YES.

SO THAT'S YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. IN THE FUTURE WE WILL BE PROACTIVE ABOUT REACHING OUT TO THEM DIRECTLY PRIOR TO THE BUDGET SUBMISSION TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE NUMBER FROM THEM. SO WE'RE NOT RECEIVING THEIR REQUEST LATER THAN THE BUDGET PROCESS.

JUST MORE MAKES IT EASIER FOR ALL OF US. AND I MEAN, I ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT THIS.

THEY DO A WONDERFUL JOB AT HELPING THESE PEOPLE GET WHERE THEY NEED TO GET TO.

THANK YOU. THOSE ARE MY SAME CONCERNS BEFOREHAND THE OTHER DAY. SO IS THERE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

THIS IS PUT OUT TO BID TO THE CONTRACTING COMMUNITY, AND WE RECEIVED BACK THREE BIDS.

THESE RANGE FROM THE LOW BID FROM EARTH RESOURCES WHICH IS ABOUT 3.3 MILLION UP TO A HIGH BID, AROUND $5 MILLION. SO IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A VARIATION THERE IN THE BIDS THAT WE RECEIVED.

SO THIS DID COME IN UNDER ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE, WHICH IS GOOD TO SEE.

AND PUBLIC WORKS HAS LOOKED AT THE SCHEDULE ON THIS ITEM.

THIS IS BUDGETED AS PART OF FISCAL YEAR 27 AS PART OF YOUR BUDGET, AND WE WOULD ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS PROJECT.

AND IF NOT, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST APPROVAL FOR THE FALL CHIP SEAL PROJECT.

VICE CHAIR CHECK. YEAH, I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOUR OFFICE FOR WORKING WITH SOME FLEXIBILITY.

I'M REALLY HOPING THIS NOTICE TO PROCEED DELAY CAN HELP SOME BROADBAND PROJECTS MOVE FORWARD BEFORE WE DO OUR CHIP SEAL.

[1. Board of Supervisors - Hearing to approve the proposed Special District Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027.]

GOOD MORNING, SIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M ACTUALLY PRESENTING FOR THE CLERK WHO IS ATTENDING A CONFERENCE TODAY.

THIS IS A HEARING ITEM FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF A FEE SCHEDULE FOR FEES TO BE CHARGED BY THE COUNTY TO SPECIAL DISTRICTS.

PURSUANT TO STATE STATUTES, SPECIAL DISTRICTS HAVE THE OPTION OF CONTRACTING WITH THE COUNTY FOR SPECIFIC SERVICES.

IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE REQUESTS, THE COUNTY IS REQUIRED TO DEVELOP A FEE SCHEDULE.

IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A FEE SCHEDULE, WE NOW CONTRACT WITH A THIRD PARTY VENDOR WHO DEVELOPS A COST ALLOCATION PLAN FOR THE COUNTY, SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT THE FEES THAT WE'RE CHARGING ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL COST TO THE COUNTY.

PARTLY BECAUSE PURSUANT TO STATE STATUTE, WE CAN'T CHARGE MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE FEE.

SO THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THIS INSTANCE. THE FEE SCHEDULE, PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE IS ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA, AND THE REQUEST IS FOR THE BOARD TO ADOPT THAT PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE 2627 FISCAL YEAR.

ANY COMMENTS? SUPERVISOR JENKINS, SORRY. WELL, I'M THRILLED THAT MANY OF THE FEES DECREASED.

JUST JUST FOR THE BOARD'S REFERENCE. I DID QUESTION, SOME OF THEM CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY AND I REACHED OUT TO LEADERSHIP AND YOU PROVIDED A VERY LOGICAL ANSWER. SO I'M SATISFIED WITH THE NEW FEE SCHEDULE AND GOING FORWARD WITH, YOU KNOW, EXPERTS TO DEVELOP THESE FEES SO THAT WE DON'T CHARGE MORE THAN WHAT WE ABSOLUTELY ARE ALLOWED BY LAW.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. CLERK THIS IS A HEARING ITEM.

IS THERE ANYTHING ONLINE? CHAIR THERE WAS NOTHING ONLINE.

Owner/Applicant: The Billy Roberts Family Trust - Billy Roberts, Trustee. (District 2 - Supervisor Jenkins)]

AND IF YOU DON'T MIND, CHAIR, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL BOTH OF THESE ITEMS TOGETHER AS THE PRESENTATION DOES GO TOGETHER FOR EACH ITEM.

YES.

THANK YOU.

I'M HERE TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU THE ROBERTS MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION ALONG WITH A ZONING MAP CHANGE APPLICATION.

THESE APPLICATIONS ARE BEING PRESENTED TOGETHER AS ONE CANNOT MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT THE OTHER.

THE MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT IS ALLOWED UNDER CHAPTER 10.2.2 OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2032.

THE SUBJECT PARCELS ARE LOCATED IN DISTRICT TWO SUPERVISOR JENKINS DISTRICT.

THE PARCELS ARE LOCATED SPECIFICALLY AT 10151 SOUTH STATE ROUTE 69 AND 10239 SOUTH BIG BUG TRAIL IN THE COMMUNITY OF MAYOR. PARCEL 500-16 002G IS CONDITIONALLY ZONED C-3, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL MINOR INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND APN00-16-003N IS ZONED R1-L35.

THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY DEVELOPED AND UNDEVELOPED PARCELS WITH MOSTLY AN R-1 ZONING.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT PARCEL 500-16-003N HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE O02G PARCEL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ZONED R1L-35. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP, THERE ARE SIMILAR COMMERCIAL ZONINGS ALONG THE STATE ROUTE 69 IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THESE PARCELS. THE OO2G PARCEL IS CURRENTLY A CONDITIONAL C THREE ZONING THAT ALLOWS ONLY THE PUMP TECH BUSINESS AND NO OTHER C-3 USES.

THE O3N PARCEL CURRENTLY ZONED R1L-35 ALLOWS FOR RESIDENTIAL USES ONLY.

THE TWO PARCELS HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN USED TOGETHER.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE TODAY TO REQUEST A CONSIDERATION OF A MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE MAP FOR A 1.9 ACRE PARCEL FROM A LAND USE CATEGORY OF INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT TO COMMERCIAL, AND FOR A 1.37 ACRE PARCEL FROM A LAND USE CATEGORY OF RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL. THOSE LAND USE CATEGORY DESIGNATIONS WOULD SUPPORT THE CONCURRENT REZONING APPLICATION.

PLA 250001050. NOT QUITE THERE YET. IN APPLICATION 105, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING CONSIDERATION OF THE REZONING OF A 1.9 ACRE PARCEL FROM THE CONDITIONAL C-3 TO A TYPICAL TO A TYPICAL C3-35 ZONING DISTRICT AND A 1.37 ACRE PARCEL FROM THE R1L-35 TO THE C3-35 ZONING DISTRICT SO THAT THEY BOTH HAVE A SIMILAR ZONING AND CONTINUE, CAN CONTINUE TO BE USED FOR THE C-3 USES.

AND THAT APPLICATION WOULD BE SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

THERE WAS A HISTORICAL USE PERMIT THAT WAS GRANTED IN 1998 FOR A FIVE YEAR TERM, FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING THE PUMP TECH BUSINESS ONLY. IN JULY OF 2003, THE USE PERMIT WAS EXTINGUISHED WHEN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED A CONDITIONAL ZONING MAP CHANGE FROM THE R1L-35 ZONING DISTRICT TO THE CONDITIONAL C-3.

ALTHOUGH THE EXTINGUISHED USE PERMIT AND THE CONDITIONAL ZONING MAP CHANGE DID NOT INCLUDE THE 03N PARCEL AGAIN, THAT HAS BEEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER.

THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU TODAY IS TO REZONE BOTH OF THESE PARCELS TO THE SAME C3-35 ZONING DISTRICT.

THERE ARE NO VIOLATIONS AND NO HISTORY OF VIOLATIONS ON THESE PARCELS.

AS FAR AS COMPREHENSIVE AS FAR AS CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES HAVE THE FOLLOWING DESIGNATIONS UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

[01:05:02]

THIS LAND USE TYPE PROVIDES FOR AREAS FOR INDUSTRIAL AND EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MANUFACTURING, WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION, MINING, BUSINESS PARKS, OFFICES AND SIMILAR USES.

THIS DISTRICT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COUNTY FOR JOB GROWTH.

DISTRICTS ASSIGNED. THIS LAND USE TYPE MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO C3 PM.

M1 M2 AND PAD. APN 500-16-003 N IS HAS A LAND USE DESIGNATION OF RESIDENTIAL 1 TO 4 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THIS LAND USE TYPE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT IS TYPICAL TO SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES AND MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES.

THE LAND USE DENSITY REQUIRES MORE AMENITIES SUCH AS SIDEWALKS, IMPROVED ROADWAYS, UTILITY CONNECTIONS.

DISTRICTS ASSIGNED THIS LAND TO LAND USE TYPE MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, R1L, RMM, R1, R2, RCU AND PAD. THESE PARCELS DO NOT CURRENTLY CONFORM TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP.

THE MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION 28, HAS BEEN SUBMITTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REZONING REQUEST THAT APPLICATION REQUESTS TO AMEND THE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS TO COMMERCIAL.

IF THE REZONING AND THE MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS ARE GRANTED, THE COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION WOULD ALLOW THESE TWO PARCELS TO OPERATE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION.

YOU CAN SEE THE C-3 IN THE PURPLE THAT IS THAT COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL.

AND THEN THE TAN JUST BELOW THAT IS THE RESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION. CERTAINLY. THE PARCEL THAT.

THE PARCEL TWO THAT YOU'RE ASKING TO REZONE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL.

YES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IT IS WOULD BE HIGHLY CHALLENGING TO BUILD ON THAT PARCEL.

IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING? THAT IS VERY CORRECT.

THANK YOU. QUITE A SIGNIFICANT SLOPE ON THAT PARCEL.

I APOLOGIZE, I COULDN'T SEE YOUR GREEN BUTTON, YOUR GREEN, BECAUSE OF THE WATER BOTTLE.

I COULDN'T SEE YOU WANTED TO TALK. I DIDN'T MEAN TO HOLD YOU BACK.

SORRY. OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO LET'S SEE.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMENTS. WE DID SEND OUT THE BOTH APPLICATIONS TO ALL APPLICABLE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REVIEWERS.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO RESPONSES PROVIDED. THERE HAS BEEN NO CONCERNS RAISED WITH THIS WITH EITHER OF THESE APPLICATIONS.

SO FOR BOTH. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BOTH OF THE APPLICATIONS.

THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

THE APPLICANT DID SEND OUT THREE DIFFERENT NOTIFICATION SESSIONS, WE SHOULD SAY.

THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WEREN'T IN THE INITIAL CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

SO WE ASKED THAT HE REDO IT, AND THE APPLICANT WAS VERY AMENABLE TO ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAD.

AND WE DID SEND OUT CITIZEN PARTICIPATION TO ALL NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS, HOA'S AND INTERESTED PARTIES WITHIN 1000FT ON THREE DIFFERENT SESSIONS.

THAT WAS AUGUST OF 2025, JANUARY OF 2026, AND AGAIN IN MARCH OF 2026.

THE APPLICANT HAS RECEIVED NO RESPONSES IN OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT FROM ANY OF THOSE MAILINGS.

THE DEPARTMENT DID SEND OUT NOTIFICATION TO THAT SAME RADIUS, AS WELL AS POSTED A SURVEY ON THE WEBSITE, AND WE POSTED THE PROPERTY WITH THE HEARING NOTICE AS WELL.

AND THE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM CONSTITUENTS EITHER IN OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT.

THERE HAS JUST BEEN NO RESPONSE. CHAIR, IS THAT ODD? THIS IS GOING TO SOUND A LITTLE FUNNY, BUT WHAT I TYPICALLY SEE IS WHEN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEY DON'T RESPOND AT ALL. THAT WHEN THEY HAVE OPPOSITION, THEY DEFINITELY SPEAK UP.

BUT TYPICALLY WE SEE WHEN NOBODY HAS A CONCERN, THEY JUST DON'T RESPOND AT ALL.

SO THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE NO RESPONSE. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE SITE PICTURES AND THE AERIAL OVERHEAD.

THIS GIVES YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A ZOOMED IN CLOSE UP VIEW OF THAT GIS MAP OF BOTH OF THE PARCELS THERE.

IT IS HARD TO TELL IN THE IMAGERY, BUT THE 003 IN RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PARCEL IS DEFINITELY ON AN INCLINE AND DOWN A HILL, AND IT WOULD NOT BE EASY TO DEVELOP THAT PARCEL INDEPENDENTLY.

[01:10:01]

THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ALONG STATE ROUTE 69. LOOKING NORTH ALONG 69.

HERE IS THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY AND THE PUBLIC NOTICE HEARING, PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IN VIEW.

THIS IS LOOKING INTO THE DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE FOR THE FACILITY.

THIS IS THE EXISTING ONE OF THE EXISTING BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY, THE EXISTING SHOP BUILDING, AND THEN A STORAGE BUILDING IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.

YOU CAN SEE THAT'S THERE. THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE HAVE FOR PICTURES.

NOT A WHOLE LOT TO SEE ON THIS SITE. SO IN SUMMARY, THE SUBJECT PARCELS HAVE BEEN USED CONSISTENT WITH THE C-3 ZONING DISTRICT SINCE AT LEAST 1998 AND VERY POSSIBLY EVEN LONGER. A REZONING TO A TYPICAL C3-35 ZONING DISTRICT FOR BOTH APN 500-16-002 G AND 500-16-003 N, WOULD ALLOW THESE PARCELS TO CONTINUE TO BE USED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THEY HAVE BEEN SINCE AT LEAST 1998. GRANTING THESE APPLICATIONS WILL RESULT IN ALL C-3 USES BEING ALLOWED ON THESE TWO PARCELS, WITHOUT THE NEED TO COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION OF THE BOARD ASKING FOR MODIFICATIONS.

STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE APPLICATIONS MEET THE REQUIRED STANDARDS FOR BEING PROCESSED AS A MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 10.2.2 OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2032.

STAFF HAS NO CONCERNS WITH THIS APPLICATION WITH EITHER OF THESE APPLICATIONS.

THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THE REZONING APPLICATION PLA25000105 ARE CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

ONE REZONING OF APN-500-16-002 G FROM CONDITIONAL C-3 TO A TYPICAL C-3-35 ZONING DISTRICT AND REZONING OF APN 500-16-003 N FROM R1L-35 TO C3-35.

THE PROPERTY IS TO BE DEVELOPED, NUMBER TWO, THE PROPERTIES TO BE DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ZONING DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.

CONDITION OF APPROVAL NUMBER THREE. IN THE EVENT THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FILES A CLAIM UNDER SECTION 121134 REGARDING THIS REZONING, THIS REZONING SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. NULL AND VOID.

THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THE MINOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

IT'S EITHER GRANTED OR DENIED, SO THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR THE OTHER APPLICATION.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I DO HAVE THE APPLICANT PROPERTY OWNER HERE AND PRESENT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

WE ALSO HAVE COMMISSIONER RADOCCIA HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

SUPERVISOR, ONE SECOND. SUPERVISOR JENKINS, ANY QUESTIONS? IS YOUR DISTRICT? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE OWNER AND ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONER THAT'S HERE. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING SIR.

IF YOU JUST PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. I AM BILL ROBERTS, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

HAVE QUESTIONS SUPERVISOR JENKINS? I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

SEEMS TO ME THIS IS MORE HOUSEKEEPING THAN ANYTHING ELSE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IF YOU HAD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. IF NOT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. MR. ROBERTS AND ISN'T THAT THE SAME NAME AS THE GUY THAT CRAWLED OUT IN NEW MEXICO AND SAID HE WAS BILLY THE KID? I DON'T THINK SO. ANYWAYS, I JUST. COULD WE GO BACK TO THE PHOTOS? SO IS UP. GO BACK THIS WAY. SO IS THERE NO SCREENING REQUIREMENTS IN C-3 ON THAT SHIPPING CONTAINER RIGHT THERE? THE WHITE ONE. YEAH. THERE ARE NO SCREENING REQUIREMENTS CURRENTLY FOR FOR C-3.

CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THIS IS A HEARING ITEM.

CLERK, IS THERE ANYBODY ONLINE ALTHOUGH THEY STATED NOT BUT.

NO THERE IS NOTHING. CHAIR. IS ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK ON HEARING 3 OR 4.

SEEING NOBODY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT AGAIN, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF VETTING THIS.

YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH THEIR UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THIS.

AND AGAIN, AS I SAID BEFORE, IT'S MORE HOUSEKEEPING THAN ANYTHING.

THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TERM USE FOR THESE TWO PARCELS.

SO IT MAKES SENSE TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS ITEM.

SO I MOVE TO APPROVE HEARING ITEM THREE. SECOND.

THREE. CALL FOR THE VOTE. THREE AND FOUR. YES.

THREE AND FOUR. SUPERVISOR. I'M SORRY. THREE.

AND YES, I LIKE TO ADD THREE AND FOUR TO MY ORIGINAL MOTION.

SECOND. CALL FOR THE VOTE. VICE CHAIR CHECK. YES.

[01:15:01]

SUPERVISOR MALLORY. YES. CHAIR COMPTON. YES. THAT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. MOVING ON TO CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

I HAVE MIKE SCHUMACHER FROM DIAMOND VALLEY. SO YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES AND YOU CAN REFERENCE THE GREEN, YELLOW AND RED. IT SHOULD BEEP WHEN YOU'RE. THREE MINUTES IS DONE.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND THEN YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

HI. HI. MIKE SCHUMACHER, DIAMOND VALLEY. YAVAPAI COUNTY.

GOOD DAY. BOARD. MEMBERS. SO I, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS ALL THIS TURMOIL OVER CONNECTS OR STORAGE CONTAINERS AND YAVAPAI COUNTY AS BEEN STATED BY SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AND A COUPLE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES.

PART OF THEIR PURPOSE IS TO PROTECT PROPERTY VALUES, AND I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE ON THE COUNTY'S ASSESSOR'S WEBSITE WHERE ANY PARCEL HAS GONE DOWN IN VALUE FROM A SHIPPING CONTAINER ON IT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THE BOARDS START UPDATING THE BUILDING CODES FOR THEM.

AND JUST A FOOTNOTE RIGHT NOW, IN THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY, THERE WAS A BLACK ROCK COFFEE DRIVE THRU GOING THROUGH ITS PREFAB, AND IT'S BUILT OUT OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS. SO APPARENTLY PRESCOTT VALLEY HAS UPDATED THEIR BUILDING CODES.

SO I'D LIKE TO SEE YAVAPAI COUNTY UPDATE THEIRS ON THESE SHIPPING CONTAINERS.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. JAMES MCLEISH FROM SELIGMAN WISHES TO SPEAK.

GOOD MORNING, BOARD OF HIS SUPERVISORS. MY NAME IS JIM MCLEISH AND I AM CURRENTLY THE PRESIDENT OF SHADOW ROCK RANCH PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE COUNTY, ABOUT 12 MILES WEST OF SELIGMAN AND ABOUT 12 TO 15 MILES SOUTH.

HAVING SERVED ON THAT BOARD FOR NUMEROUS YEARS SINCE PURCHASING MY LAND, I HAVE HAD A TASTE OF HOW DIFFICULT YOUR JOB IS WITH THE COUNTY CAN BE. RARELY IS EVERYONE HAPPY.

WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COUNTY.

WHEN DEALING WITH THE COUNTY, I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND REPRESENTATIVES HONEST AND FORTHRIGHT.

I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED BY THE MANY WORDS SPOKEN ABOUT THEIR CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES, THE CONCERN FOR OUR WATER RESOURCES, THE DESIRE TO PROVIDE WELFARE AND SECURITY FOR THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT AND PRESERVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE BY PUTTING THE LOCAL CITIZENS NEEDS FIRST. I WILL CLOSE WITH A QUOTE FROM PROVERBS 21:2-3.

EVERY WAY OF A MAN IS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES, BUT THE LORD WEIGHS THE HEARTS TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND JUSTICE IS MORE ACCEPTABLE TO THE LORD THAN SACRIFICE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

CURT WOMACK. HELLO. MY NAME IS CURT WOMACK.

I JUST HAD THE HEARING RAILROADED PAST. I APPRECIATE CHRIS KUKNYO BRINGING UP THAT SHIPPING CONTAINERS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE ZONING IS NOT DEALT WITH THEM FOR DECADES.

WE KEEP HEARING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT FOR SOME REASON, STORAGE IS LEFT OUT OF THE EQUATION.

SHIPPING CONTAINERS ARE STEEL BOXES. THEY'RE IMMUNE TO WILDFIRE DANGER.

YOU CAN GET A WOOD SHED, BUT IT'LL BURN MUCH QUICKER THAN A STORAGE CONTAINER.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S SUCH A PROBLEM WITH SHIPPING CONTAINERS.

IS IT DEALING WITH PERMITS REVENUE OR WHY OR WHAT? THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. WHY IS IT THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED SHIPPING CONTAINERS? BUT IN MY CASE THEY ARE NOT. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO.

I FIRST WANT TO APPRECIATE CHRIS KUKNYO STEPPING UP FOR ME.

THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL THE GREEN SHEETS I HAVE, CHAIR.

OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MOVING ON TO SUPERVISOR.

PARDON ME. OH, CERTAINLY, SUPERVISOR, I APOLOGIZE.

THANK YOU CHAIR. COULD WE POSSIBLY HAVE STAFF FOLLOW UP ON WHAT OUR

[01:20:10]

YES. THANK YOU. WE'LL PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THAT.

AND I YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT HOW THAT COULD LOOK AND I WOULD APPRECIATE STAFF GETTING BACK TO ME ON THAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR MALLORY. MOVING ON TO SUPERVISOR.

I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT STAFF ALSO TO REVIEW THE CHINO VALLEY ORDINANCE JUST PASSED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PRESENTED.

I'D LIKE TO DIRECT THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

THANK YOU. I ACKNOWLEDGE WE WILL. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR.

SUPERVISOR JENKINS. I'M GONNA LET YOU GO FIRST. OH, WHY THANK YOU.

[ SUPERVISOR REPORTS Pursuant to A.R.S. §38-431.02(K), individual Supervisors may present brief summaries of current events but no discussion may occur, and no action may be taken regarding anything that is presented.]

ON SUNDAY, JUNE 28TH CHAIR COMPTON AND I ATTENDED THE DEDICATION.

THIS IS A SOLEMN REMINDER THAT MEN AND WOMEN IN PUBLIC SAFETY RISK THEIR LIVES EVERY DAY TO PROTECT US AND TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF YAVAPAI COUNTY. SO I WANT TO GO OVER WHAT THE PLAQUE READS BECAUSE I THINK IT SAYS IT ALL.

AND I HAVE A PICTURE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO CIRCULATE TO THE BOARD UP HERE.

THE PLAQUE READS END OF WATCH. JUNE 20TH 28TH, 2022, DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF SERGEANT RICHARD ARLO LOPEZ, WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR THIS COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO A LIFETIME OF SERVICE, INTEGRITY AND LEADERSHIP. SERGEANT LOPEZ'S COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND HIS IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE REMEMBERED AND HONORED ALWAYS.

IN THE WORDS OF SERGEANT LOPEZ, WE MUST NOT ALWAYS DO SOMETHING.

WE MUST, WE NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THESE ARE GOOD WORDS TO LIVE BY AND REMEMBER.

THANK YOU, SERGEANT LOPEZ. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SUPERVISOR JENKINS, FOR YOUR REPORT.

IN REFERENCE TO MY REPORT WITH DISTRICT ONE. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT.

ACTUALLY, IT WAS MORE OF A A THANK YOU. I GOT TO ATTEND THE TIME CAPSULE BURIAL, AND IT DIDN'T DAWN AT ME AT THE TIME UNTIL AFTER THE 250TH THING GOING INTO THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY WAS MY ACTUAL SIGNATURE AS A CHAIR, WHICH WAS UNIQUE AND FUN FOR MY SON. SO I KEPT THE SHOVEL SO HE COULD DIG IT UP 50 YEARS FROM NOW.

AND AND ALL THE OTHER 4TH OF JULY EVENTS THAT I GOT TO ATTEND.

AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK MY FELLOW SUPERVISORS FOR ELECTING ME CHAIR, BECAUSE IT WAS AN AMAZING, UNIQUE EXPERIENCE TO BE CHAIR DURING THIS YEAR WITH ALL THE EVENTS AND ALL THE FESTIVITIES.

AND IT WAS IT WAS AMAZING AND HUMBLING, TRULY HUMBLING TO ME TO BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK AT ALL OF THESE EVENTS, WHETHER IT'S THE DEDICATION OF THE BANDSTAND OR, OR ALL THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT YOU GET TO DO AS CHAIR.

AND SO TODAY WAS JUST A THANK YOU AND THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE OF YAVAPAI COUNTY FOR ELECTING ME AND ALLOWING ME TO DO THIS JOB.
