SORRY, I'M NOT THE BEST YOU'RE EQUIPPED.

WE HAVE A PLAQUE HERE THAT WE'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH HIM.

I WILL SAY, REALLY HAVE ENJOYED YOUR LEADERSHIP.

UM, WE'VE KNOWN YOU FOR YEARS, BUT WATCHING YOU ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND YOUR LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN REALLY VALUED.

ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? UM, YES, CHAIR.

UM, THANK YOU, ALBERTO.

UH, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE ONE OF THE THINGS, UH, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY YEARS I'VE RUN OUT OF A NUMBER OF FINGERS TO COUNT.

AND, UM, ALBERTO STARTED, OR HE WAS HERE BEFORE I WAS, AND HE WAS A YOUNG MAN, AND HE'S STILL A YOUNG MAN, AND THEN .

AND HE, UM, HE SERVED OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN HELPING WITH TRANSPORTATION, CONVERSATIONS WITH THE NAVAJO NATION, WHITE MOUNTAIN, APACHE TRIBE, AND THE HOPI NATION.

AND, UM, WHEN HE WAS DOING THAT WORK, HE WAS VERY COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT THE ORGANIZATION WAS WELL REPRESENTED AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICES TO OUR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES.

AND AS HE GREW, UM, SUPERVISOR THOMPSON CERTAINLY TOOK HIM UNDER HIS WING AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT AND REALLY BELIEVED IN ALBERTO.

AND THROUGH THOSE YEARS, I'VE SEEN, UM, SUPERVISOR PE KAI, UM, GROW IN SO MANY WAYS AND WAYS THAT I ADMIRE AND ASPIRE TO BE LIKE, UM, I TRULY ADMIRE HIS FAITH IN, UM, GOD AND BEING ABLE TO PUT GOD FIRST BEFORE EVERYTHING.

AND I APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT HE SERVES HIS COMMUNITY AND THE NAVAJO, NAVAJO COUNTY AS A WHOLE, HE TRULY ASPIRES TO, UM, DO THAT WELL.

AND SO I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO WITNESS YOUR GROWTH

[00:10:01]

AND SEE YOU GROW INTO THE MAN THAT YOU ARE.

MM-HMM, .

UM, AND YOU KNOW, I THINK, UM, IT'S ALMOST LIKE I HAVE TWO BOYS AND MY OLDEST SON, HE IS 21.

AND, UM, AND SO WHEN I STARTED HERE, MY SON WAS, HE WAS TINY, AND FOR ME, HE WAS TINY.

NOW I SEE HIM AS A, A GROWING MAN GROWING UP, MAN.

AND I FEEL LIKE I SEE ALBERTO THE SAME WAY.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT, AND I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO WITNESS THAT AND TO LEARN FROM YOU.

SO THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

YES, YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU AS WELL.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? CHAIR? I'D JUST LIKE TO PUBLICLY EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO OUR, OUR PAST CHAIR FOR THE SERVICE THAT HE RENDERED AND FOR HIS DILIGENCE, UH, IN DOING THINGS FOR THE NAVAJO HILL COUNTY.

MM-HMM.

, THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU, UH, CHAIR FOR THIS TIME.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

AND, UM, THANK YOU.

UM, BOARD MEMBERS, UM, I GIVE MY APPRECIATION TO, UM, FORMER CHAIR AS WELL.

AND, UM, I GREET HIM AS MY, MY SON, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE THE SAME CLAN.

AND MY MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME THE YOUNGER MEN, UM, IF WE ARE THE SAME CLAN, THEN THEY'RE YOUR, THEY'RE YOUR SON.

SO I, I CALL HIM SHI AND THAT MEANS MY SON IN NAVAJO.

SO DURING THE YEAR, UM, OF THE LAST ELECTION, UM, I DIDN'T KNOW, I, I HAD A POSITION ALREADY LATER IN AUGUST AND AS GLENN AND, AND ALBERTO CONGRATULATED ME AND I WAS LIKE, OH, OH REALLY? I'M BOARD OF SUPERVISOR.

SO IT WAS, IT WAS GOOD TO, UM, MEET HIM PRIOR TO THAT AS WELL, WORKING WITH THE FOOD BANKS AND DOING OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THE NAVAJO NATION.

SO, UH, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I DIDN'T KNOW HIM WELL, BUT I KNEW HE HAD WORKED OR OVER HERE AT THE COUNTY ALREADY, SO HE WAS PRETTY INVOLVED.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF MY TERM.

HE DID, UM, GIVE ME SOME GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION, AND I DO APPRECIATE FOR, FOR THAT AND HIS LEADERSHIP THAT HE HAS SHOWN IN THE LAST YEAR AND EVEN YEARS BEFORE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ALBERTO TRIAGE.

UM, MELISSA, UH, LEMME KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO DO A PHOTO WITH YOU HOLDING THE PLAQUE IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT.

YEAH, THAT'S FINE.

WOULD THAT BE ALRIGHT? AND I, I DO WANT, WANT MAKE A COMMENT, BUT I THINK THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW, UM, WHILE ALBERTO, HE DOES A GREAT JOB REPRESENTING THE DISTRICT THAT HE HAS, HE TRULY LOOKS AT ALL OF NAVAJO COUNTY.

THERE'S QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS THIS LAST YEAR UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP THAT HE LOOKED TO ENHANCE, WHETHER IT WAS THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE OR FOR OUR CITIZENS ACROSS, BUT LOOKED AT THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE VERY OFTEN, AND NOT JUST AT HIS DISTRICT.

WHILE HE DOES SERVE HIS DISTRICT VERY WELL, HE WAS A GREAT LEADER AND ACTED, UH, ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US, AND THAT WAS CERTAINLY RECOGNIZED.

SO THANK YOU.

UM, IF WE CAN DO A PICTURE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

SORRY, I AM HAPPY TO DO IT.

ITEM NUMBER THREE, THE CONSENT AGENDA.

AND EVERYONE TAKE ONE STEP.

THIS, THIS WHAT'S GREAT.

UM, OH, THESE, SO 1, 2, 3.

HOLD IT.

1, 2, 3.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER TWO ON THE AGENDA, THE CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

UM, MELISSA, IS THERE ANY INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO WHAT TODAY? PERFECT.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NO INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO SPEAK AND CALL TO THE PUBLIC.

WE'LL THEN MOVE TO

[3. CONSENT AGENDA: These items are considered to be routine or administrative in nature and will be approved in a single motion. A Board member may request for any item to be removed from the consent agenda and considered on the regular agenda:]

UM, WAS DO YOU MIND PULLING UP ON THE SCREEN SO THEY CAN SEE THE AGENDA? I CAN SEND THE AGENDA.

SORRY.

I GUESS YOU HAVE IT UP THERE.

HOUSE.

SO ONLINE, EVERYBODY SEES THAT ONLINE AS WELL.

DO THEY SEE YOUR

[00:15:01]

SCREEN OR, UM, YES, THAT'S PERFECT.

SO FOR THIS YEAR, IF THE BOARD IS OKAY WITH IT, I'D REALLY LIKE NOT TO READ EVERY ONE OF THOSE ITEMS, BUT I DO THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT.

AND SO IF WE PULL IT UP ON THE SCREEN AND PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S THERE, THAT ALSO ALLOWS THOSE THAT ARE HERE IN ATTENDANCE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK WHAT'S ON THOSE ITEMS. UM, I THINK WE ACCOMPLISH THE SAME PURPOSE WITHOUT HAVING TO LISTEN TO ME SPEAK TOO MUCH, WHICH IS ALREADY GONNA BE A PROBLEM.

SO, IS THE BOARD OKAY WITH THAT? ANY CONCERNS? I'D BE HAPPY TO DO IT IF THE BOARD WANTS ME TO READ THROUGH ALL OF IT, BUT FINE WITH THAT.

SO WE HAVE YOU BEFORE US, THE CONSENT AGENDA.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY.

HEARING NONE.

CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MOTION.

YOU HAVE A MOTION? DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

YOU HAVE A SECOND? ANY MORE DISCUSSION? NO.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

THE ITEM NUMBER FOUR, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRESENTATION, AN UPDATE FROM THE HEBER OVERGUARD COMMUNITY RESOURCE NETWORK.

ANY AGAINST? IF THE AYES HAVE IT, MOTION PASSES.

WE PASSES THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ITEM NUMBER THREE.

ALRIGHT, ON

[a. Presentation and update from Heber-Overgaard Community Resource Network]

AND WE'LL TURN THE TIME OVER TO JOHN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US TODAY.

THE GARDEN FROM THE GROUND UP, LEVELING THE GROUND, PREPARING FOR, UH, IRRIGATION, EVERYTHING.

I'M JUST GONNA TEST, MAKE SURE THIS WORKS.

SO FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS JOHN PVA AND I'M A BOARD OF DIRECTOR FOR .

AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR INVITING US TO COME SPEAK TODAY, ESPECIALLY OUR, UH, COUNTY SUPERVISOR, DARRYL SEYMOUR.

SO TODAY WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHO IS HORAN.

WHEN WAS HORAN ESTABLISHED? WHAT IS HORAN ACHIEVED? WHY DOES HORAN WORK? AND WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF HORAN? SO HORAN IS THE HEBREW OVERGUARD COMMUNITY RESOURCE NETWORK.

WE ARE A NON-PROFIT 5 0 1 C3, SERVING THE HEBREW OVERGUARD RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE.

WE ARE 100% OPERATED BY VOLUNTEERS.

WE ALSO OPERATE AT HORAN THRIFT STORE AND A HORAN COMMUNITY VAN.

WE WERE ESTABLISHED IN 2 22 22 BY THEN FIRE CHIEF WILLIAM D MCCLUSKEY AND LOCAL REALTOR JUNE CALL.

ORIGINALLY, WE STARTED TO HANDLE ALL EMERGENCY AND NON-EMERGENCY REQUESTS FROM OUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND SHERIFF DEPARTMENTS.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT TO PROVIDE COORDINATION OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR HEBREW REGARD RESIDENTS AND VISITORS.

ON JULY 29TH, WE TOOK OVER AN EXISTING HEBREW OVER GUARD THRIFT STORE.

AT THIS TIME, HORAN HAD A WHOPPING $37 IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT.

THAT WAS IT.

SO THAT WAS OUR SUCCESS FROM FEBRUARY UNTIL JULY $37.

SO HORAN THRIFT STORE WAS LITERALLY THE BEGINNING OF THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS.

THE THE THRIFT STORE IS OPERATED AGAIN, 100% BY VOLUNTEERS.

THEY SOARED PRICE DONATED ITEMS, THEY WORK AS CASHIERS, CLERKS STAGE AND DECORATE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

AND WE HAVE A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS WHO WILL GO OUT AND PICK UP FURNITURE AND OTHER ESTATE ITEMS THAT PEOPLE DONATE.

AND WE REALLY DO PUT AN EMPHASIS ON MAKING SURE THE MINIMAL ITEMS GO INTO THE TRASH DUMPSTER.

AND WHAT WE DO IS WE UTILIZE OUR RESOURCES.

SUNSHINE ACRES IS A PRIME EXAMPLE.

THEY WILL TAKE ALL, UH, CLOTHING ITEMS THAT WE DO NOT TAKE, AND THEN IN RETURN ARE PAYING US A 14 CENTS A POUND FOR, UH, THAT CLOTHING AND STUFF.

IT, IT'S A LOT OF CLOTHING, IT DOESN'T GO INTO A DUMPSTER.

SO VERY IMPORTANT TO US.

HERE'S OUR THRIFT STORE.

HERE'S ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, THELMA, AT THE, UH, CASH REGISTER.

AND HERE ARE VOLUNTEERS, DENISE, BETTY AND APRIL AT THE THRIFT STORE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS, UM, A LOT OF CLOTHING AND IT'S REALLY ONE OF THE THINGS WE FOCUS ON.

NO CLOTHING STORES IN HEBREW REGARD, BUT THRIFT STORES IS WHERE PEOPLE TURN TO, TO I GET WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, GROW TOGETHER.

HORAN COMMUNITY GARDEN WAS OUR VERY FIRST PROJECT.

WE HAD A LOCAL GARDENING EXPERT, PLUS TWO MASTER GARDENERS, ONE THAT HAD AN ASSOCIATION WITH TEMPE COMMUNITY GARDEN AND ANOTHER ONE WHO HAD AN ASSOCIATION WITH FOUNTAIN HILLS COMMUNITY GARDEN, BOTH LIVING IN HEBREW OVER GUARD WHO OFFERED SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE.

AS WE GOT STARTED, HORAN ENTERED INTO A 20 YEAR FACILITY, USE AGREEMENT WITH HEBREW OVER GUARD SCHOOLS FOR GARDEN LOCATION SPACE.

PROVIDES GROWTH FOR ADDITIONAL PROJECTS AND OUR VOLUNTEERS BUILT

[00:20:01]

AND WE MADE OUR DEADLINE.

BY MAY 1ST, 2023, WE WERE READY TO START PLANNING FOR THE HORAN, UH, GROW TOGETHER COMMUNITY GARDEN.

HERE IS, UM, OUR SIGN AT THE GARDEN.

YOU CAN SEE THE FENCE AND THEN YOU CAN SEE OVER IN THE RIGHT THERE IS THE NUMBER ONE.

UH, ALL THE BEDS ARE NUMBERED.

HERE ARE SOME OF OUR VOLUNTEERS.

DOUG, ACTUALLY IN YOUR LEFT IS A, UM, MASTER GARDENER WHO ASSOCIATED WITH TEMPE.

UH, DAVE IS A PERMACULTURE SPECIALIST AND SHERRY IS JUST A VOLUNTEER OUT HELPING US, UH, CONTINUALLY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

THE HORAN COMMUNITY GARDEN ACTUALLY HAS RAISED A TOTAL OF FUNDS OF 40, A LITTLE OVER $40,000.

OF THAT $40,000, $31,000 WAS SPENT ON THE GARDEN ITSELF.

A BALANCE OF A LITTLE OVER $9,000 IS CURRENTLY IN THE BANK FOR PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IN, UM, ON THE RADAR FOR 2024.

SO WHERE DID ALL THAT MONEY COME FROM? FIRST OF ALL, PORIN DECIDED THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS WE WOULD DONATE $5,000 TO THE GARDEN.

THEN WE HAD GARDEN SPONSORSHIPS TO SPONSOR A, A BED.

IT WAS A $500 DONATION.

WE ALSO HAD SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO GAVE MORE.

THIS WAS DONE THROUGH, UM, GOING OUT AND SEEKING DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS AND, UM, LOCAL BUSINESSES.

WE ALSO HAD THE GARDEN BED FEES, FRIENDS OF THE GARDEN MEMBERSHIP, NAVAJO COUNTY, THANK YOU, DARRYL SEYMOUR, UH, AND R AND K BUILDING, AND THEN ALSO OTHER FUNDS THAT CAME IN FROM CLASSES, ET CETERA THAT WERE OFFERED.

HERE'S OUR GARDEN.

SO WHAT DOES OUR GARDEN CONSIST OF? OUR GARDEN IS MADE UP OF 34 BEDS THAT ARE FOUR FOOT BY 12 FOOT.

THEY RENT RENT ANNUALLY FOR $120.

THERE ADDITIONALLY ARE TWO LARGE HORSESHOE SHAPED BEDS.

THEY'RE SPONSORED.

ONE BED IS AVAILABLE FOR THE MAG ISLAND SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND THE OTHER IS AVAILABLE FOR RIM COUNTRY SENIOR CENTER.

THERE ARE TWO HERB GARDENS.

ALL BEDS ARE MADE FROM REDWOOD LUMBER.

SO GOING INTO THIS, WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS VERY EXPENSIVE, UM, BUT THE IDEA WAS THAT WE WOULD PAY FOR IT UP FRONT AND IT WOULD ALLOW US TO GET 10 TO 12 YEARS OF USE OUT OF OUR GARDEN BED.

AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACING THE LUMBER.

UH, AND IF A FENCE SURROUNDS THE GARDEN TO KEEP THE ELK OUT, TIMERS ARE PROVIDED TO REGULATE WATER AND THEN ENTRANCE INTO THE GARDEN IS GAINED THROUGH A KEYPAD ENTRANCE.

THIS IS A BOUNTY FROM OUR GARDEN.

VOLUNTEERS ARE WORKING WITH EDUCATORS TO MAKE THE GARDEN AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS OF ALL AGES.

A SOCIALIZATION AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER IS ALSO A FUNCTION OF THE GARDEN.

A SINK HAS BEEN ADDED THIS FALL, A PAD HAS BEEN FORWARDED FOR A GARDEN SHED.

AND 2024 WE'LL SEE SHADE ADDED TO MAKE THE SPACE MORE INVITING AND USABLE FOR SOCIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

IT HAS BEEN SAID, IF YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY GARDEN IN HEBREW OR REGARD, YOU CAN GARDEN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

SO FOR AN ANNUAL FEE OF $15, ANYONE CAN BECOME A FRIEND OF THE GARDEN.

FRIEND OF THE GARDEN HAS ACCESS TO ANY OF THE CLASSES, OFFERED INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE NEWSLETTER AND INVITATIONS TO GARDEN EVENTS.

UH, WE ALSO HAVE A PRESENCE ON FACEBOOK IN 2023, OVER 20 CLASSES WERE OFFERED, AND THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE PER MONTH, STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2023.

CLASSES INCLUDED SEED EXCHANGE, INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, CANNING CLASS, AND PUTTING YOUR GARDEN TO BED FOR THE WINTER.

OUR CLASS INSTRUCTORS ARE EITHER MASTER GARDENERS OR OTHER QUALIFIED PERSONS.

SO WHY DOES HORAN WORK? WELL, AGAIN, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WE ARE 100% VOLUNTEER.

SO WITH ME TODAY IS THE REST OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

WE HAVE OUR PRESIDENT JUNE CALL NANCY HAY, OUR VICE PRESIDENT MARK DAHAL, ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS, MIKE TANDON, UH, BOARD DIRECTOR AND LONNIE CASON.

UH, AMY MARTIN, WHO IS OUR SECRETARY TREASURER, WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND, BUT ALTHOUGH WE ARE THE BOARD, WE'RE JUST VOLUNTEERS, THAT'S ALL WE ARE.

SO, UM, WE ARE THE DIVERSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

WE HAVE A 24

[00:25:01]

HOUR HOTLINE.

WE HAVE THE HORAN THRIFT STORE.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO COORDINATE COMMUNITY RESOURCES.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FUNDRAISE.

WE HAVEN'T LEARNED THE WORD NO.

AND WE HAVE COMMUNITY SPORT AND THAT'S WHY WE WORK.

SO HORAN IS SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

ONE PHONE CALL AT A TIME.

OUR PHONE NUMBER (928) 243-8251 IS MONITORED 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK BY OUR VOLUNTEER ROSALIE MUELLER.

THE HOURS, UM, AFTER OUR CALLS FROM EITHER THE SHERIFF OR THE FIRE FIRE DEPARTMENT GO TO JUNE, CALL AND CALLS ARE ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY.

THE OAKLAND PHONE IS A LIFELINE TO RESIDENTS, RESOURCES AND VISITORS.

ROSALIE ASSISTS BY PROVIDING NEEDED INFORMATION OR SHE CONTACTS THE APPROPRIATE ORGANIZATION, NONPROFIT OR BOARD MEMBER FOR RESOLUTION.

BAN SERVICES FOR THE RIDER AND THE DRIVERS.

BOTH ARE FACILITATED THROUGH ROSALIE AND ALL PERSON NEEDS TO DO HOWEVER WE CAN HELP THEM.

IT STARTS WITH JUST THAT ONE PHONE CALL INTO OUR NUMBER, OUR ABILITY TO FUNDRAISE.

THIS STARTS WITH RELATIONSHIPS THAT ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BUILT OVER THE YEARS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S PEOPLE SEEING THAT WE BELIEVE IN A PROJECT AND THEN IT HELPS THEM TO BELIEVE AND GETS THEM ON BOARD.

WE'VE ALSO FOUND THAT BEING A 5 0 1 C3, UH, HAS ENCOURAGED DONATIONS IN-PERSON FUNDRAISING WORKS THE BEST FOR US.

WALKING THE STREETS OF HEBREW REGARD, TAKING THE TIME TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, ANSWERING QUESTIONS, EYE TO EYE CONTACT.

AND THEN WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT FROM THE MOMENTUM FROM COMPLETED PROJECTS.

WE SHARE SUCCESS STORIES WHEN WE HAVE OUR, UH, MONTHLY MEETINGS.

AND ALL OF THESE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO EITHER GIVE, START VOLUNTEERING, DONATING TO OUR THRIFT STORE, OR MAKE SOME TYPE OF FINANCIAL DONATION TO US.

AS FAR AS OUR GARDEN BEDS GO, UH, WE'VE SHOWN RECOGNITION BY, UH, ACKNOWLEDGING THOSE WHO SPONSORED A BIT.

AND THEN FOR OTHERS GIVING TO OUR ORGANIZATION.

WE DO SEND OUT PERSONAL THANK YOU NOTES AND REALLY THINK THAT THAT SETS US APART.

WE HAVEN'T LEARNED THE WORD NO.

WE JUST THINK WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING IF WE SET OUR MIND TO IT.

AND WE REALLY DO.

I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF THE BEAUTY OF OUR ORGANIZATION.

WE THINK WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO FIND A WAY TO COMPLETE SOMETHING WHEN, WHEN THAT WHEN SOMETHING'S THROWN OUT TO US AND WE KNOW THAT IN THE END THE COMMUNITY'S GOING TO SUPPORT US.

WE GET NUMEROUS SUGGESTIONS FOR PROJECTS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

WE KNOW WE HAVE LIMITED FUNDS, SO WE DO OUR BEST TO GIVE WHAT IS MOST IMPACTFUL.

WE HAVE, UH, EARNED TRUST BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE CAN DELIVER ON A DEADLINE.

AND WE HAVE EARNED INTEGRITY BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE FUNDS WE DO RECEIVE WILL BE SPENT WISELY.

SO WHERE'S HOPE'S FUTURE? CELEBRATING OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY ON, UH, NEXT MONTH, ON FEBRUARY 22ND, UH, WE HAVE A 2024 PROJECT THAT IS ALREADY IN THE PLANNING STAGES.

WE HAVE OUR THRIFT STORE.

IT'S ALREADY SHOWING GREAT INCREASES YEAR OVER YEAR.

SO WE ARE SIX MONTHS, UH, WHERE WE HAVE NUMBERS TO COMPARE AGAINST AND THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

WE HAVE THE EXPANSION OF OUR GROW TOGETHER HORAN COMMUNITY GARDEN BY ADDING SHED, UH, A SHED AND ALSO, UH, SHADE, UH, TO THE FACILITY.

THERE WILL BE NEW CLASSES OFFERED BY THE GARDEN GROUP AND, UH, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCREASED TRAVEL FROM THE HORAN COMMUNITY VAN.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO CULTIVATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RESOURCE GROUP.

THIS WILL ALWAYS BE GROWING.

SO I SHOULD HAVE POINTED IT OUT EARLIER AND I DIDN'T 'CAUSE I WAS PLAYING WITH THE CLICKER HERE.

BUT IF YOU GO BACK TO OUR LOGO, IT WAS THE WAGON WHEEL IS WHAT IT WAS.

OKAY? AND IT SAID HORAN ACROSS IT.

AND WE ACTUALLY CHOSE THE WAGON WHEEL FOR SOMETHING VERY SPECIFIC.

THE HUB IS HORAN AND ALL THE SPOKES OF THAT WHEEL ARE OUR RESOURCES.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE DO.

WE HAVE ALL THESE RESOURCES THAT WE CAN CALL IF SOMEONE NEEDS HELP OR ASSISTANCE, WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

SO SOME OF THOSE WOULD BE THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

TO OUR COMMUNITY, UH, SHERIFF AUXILIARY VOLUNTEERS, THE HEBREW REGARD FOOD BANK, THE HEBREW REGARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE RIM COUNTRY SENIOR CENTER CARRYING COMRADES AND PINE NEEDLES TO JUST NAME A FEW .

THE LOCAL SCHOOL.

UH, WE WORK WITH EIGHT LOCAL CHURCHES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE SALVATION ARMY, UH, ROOM, COMMUNITY LIBRARY, THE AMERICAN LEGION, UH, LIGHTHEARTED LASER GROUP, UH, SPECIFIC

[00:30:01]

SO WHERE DID OUR MONEY COME FROM? WELL, 81% OF OUR MONEY CAME FROM OUR THRIFT STORE.

IN 2023 IN PERSON FUNDRAISING FOR OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN, WE RAISED $15,800 FOR OUR ANGELS SENIOR ANGEL TREE THAT WE JUST COMPLETED HERE LAST MONTH, $5,570.

AND DONATIONS FROM CHURCHES, INDIVIDUALS, AND OTHER NONPROFIT GROUPS TOTALED $6,339.

SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT GROW TOGETHER.

HO GREEN COMMUNITY GARDEN BUYING NUMBERS.

IN 2023, THE GARDEN GROUP HELD 21 CLASSES, 36 PEOPLE ATTENDED ON AVERAGE TO EACH ONE OF THESE CLASSES.

756 TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE ATTENDED A GARDEN CLASS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

76 FRIENDS OF THE GARDEN MEMBERS HAVE ENROLLED.

THERE ARE 34 GARDEN BEDS WITH 100% OF THE BAR BEDS RENTED FOR 2023.

WE HAD TWO MASTER GARDENERS ASSOCIATED WITH GROW TOGETHER HORAN COMMUNITY GARDEN.

62 PEOPLE ATTENDED OUR MOST POPULAR CLASS COMMUNITY SEED EXCHANGE.

AND $31,368 AND 52 CENTS WAS THE COST OF BUILDING THE GROW TOGETHER.

HORAN COMMUNITY GARDEN PLUS COUNTLESS HOURS OF VOLUNTEER WORK.

AND HERE'S HORAN BY THE NUMBERS.

FOR 2023, WE HAVE BETWEEN 30 AND 60 PEOPLE ATTEND EACH OF OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS.

UH, THIS NUMBER ACTUALLY CHANGED.

SO FOR 2023, WE HAD A TOTAL OF 218 CALLS COME INTO THE HOTLINE NUMBER.

A DONATION OF $1,100 WAS MADE TO ROOM COUNTRY SENIOR CENTER FOR THE WINTER BREAKFAST PROGRAM.

141 CHILDREN WERE ADOPTED AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

A MONTHLY DONATION OF $500 GOES TO THE HEBREW REGARD FOOD BANK EACH AND EVERY MONTH.

406 FAMILIES WERE HELPED IN 2023.

HERE'S ANOTHER NUMBER THAT'S CHANGED.

OUR TOTAL VOLUNTEER HOURS FOR 2023 WERE 13,489.

$250 IS DONATED MONTHLY TO THE GOLDEN MUSTANGS PROGRAM, WHICH IS A PROGRAM THAT BENEFITS ALL THREE OF THE SCHOOLS IN HEBREW OVER GUARD FOR CHRISTMAS.

THIS YEAR WE HAD 39 SENIOR ANGELS.

AND A NOTE ON THIS IS THIS YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO PAY $75 ON EACH OF THE SENIOR ANGELS ELECTRIC BILL.

SO WE WERE VERY HAPPY THAT WE COULD DO THAT.

AND THEN $8,000 IN HORAN SCHOLARSHIPS TO ION HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING SENIORS.

SO I INTRODUCED YOU TO THE BOARD.

WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS.

THAT'S WHY IT WORKS, IN MY OPINION.

SO HOW CAN WE BE REACHED? WE HAVE OUR PHONE NUMBER.

WE HAVE HORAN TWENTY2@GMAIL.COM.

WE ALSO HAVE PRESENCE ON FACEBOOK WITH HORAN.ORG AND GROW TOGETHER GARDEN.ORG.

AND THEN I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.

THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF GOOD YOU CAN DO IF YOU DON'T CARE WHO GETS CREDIT.

AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE FOCUS ON.

SO THAT'S WHO HORAN IS.

EVERYONE.

ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I'M JUST GONNA MAKE A FEW COMMENTS IF I COULD.

IT'S BEEN, UH, YOU KNOW, I'VE PROBABLY BEEN DOING SOME TYPE OF STUFF WITH CITY COUNCILS AND GOVERNMENT NOW COMING ON 15, 20 YEARS.

AND I CAN SAY THAT HURON DOES WHAT THEY SAY THEY'LL DO.

AND THEY ARE PROBABLY FAR ONE OF THE GREATEST ORGANIZATIONS THAT I'VE SEEN PUT TOGETHER BY PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR PEOPLE.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, THEY'RE THE GATEWAY.

HEBREW REGARD IS THE GATEWAY TO NAVAJO COUNTY COMING UP THROUGH TWO 60.

BUT YET THERE ISN'T ANY ORGANIZATION THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BUILD A SIGN THAT SAYS, HERE'S IS HEBER, OR HERE, HERE IS HEBER OVER GUARD OTHER THAN JUST THE CITIZENS TO PUT UP A SIGN.

THEY'RE STATE CHAMPIONS IN THEIR FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

THEIR BASKETBALL PROGRAMS, THEIR THEIR SCHOOL DOES FANTASTIC JOBS THERE.

THEY HAVE A FANTASTIC SENIOR CENTER, ONE OF THE VERY BEST MILLS ON WHEELS PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING, THEY HAVE A FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE SECOND 10, NONE.

THEY HAVE A VERY EVOLVED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THEY PUT ON A WONDERFUL 4TH OF JULY PARADE.

THEY HAVE PATRIOTISM, THEY PUT ON FIREWORKS.

[00:35:01]

UH, THEY HAVE SOME OF THE BEST, UH, HALLOWEEN FESTIVALS AND THINGS THAT GO ON THE LIBRARY IS ONE OF THE BEST LIBRARIES IN IN THE COUNTY.

NO CITY FUNDS, NO TRIBAL FUNDS.

IT'S JUST PEOPLE WHO CARE.

THEY HAVE, THEY HELP THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

I THINK WE'RE, IT IS AN AREA OF A COMMUNITY THAT THEY HAVE WORKED TO TRY TO RID DRUGS IN THAT COMMUNITY AND TRY TO GET RID OF PEOPLE.

BUT IT'S, IT IS ALSO A VERY TOURIST PLACE WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE COME AND GO AND IT'S, AND IT'S CHALLENGING.

AND SO WHEN I MENTIONED IN OUR RETREAT THAT AT SOME POINT IN SOME TIME WE NEED TO HAVE A PROGRAM THAT CAN HELP COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS, THAT ARE DOING THINGS ON THEIR OWN, THAT ARE SHORT OF BEING A CITY OR TOWN.

AND SHORT OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WHAT WE CAN DO.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I'VE ASKED THEM TO COME TODAY TO JUST SHOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND SHOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THERE'S REQUESTS FOR PICKLEBALL COURTS, THERE'S REQUESTS FOR OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO IN THAT AREA TO MAKE THIS A BETTER COMMUNITY AND TO GIVE BACK BECAUSE THEY ARE, THEY PAY TAXES.

THEY, THEY DO THINGS THAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES IN CITIES AND TOWNS, BUT WE JUST NEED TO HELP THEM FIND WAYS TO BE ABLE TO NOT MAKE IT EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY, WHICH IT IS, BUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP AS A GOVERNMENT FACILITY AS WELL.

SO THANK YOU JOHN.

THANK YOU BOARD FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

SO THANK YOU SUPERVISOR.

UH, ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD.

UM, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO EXTEND MY APPRECIATION FOR ALL OF YOU COMING TODAY.

UM, I KNOW THAT, UM, YOU HAVE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES AND ROLES IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND IT REALLY DOES SPEAK TO YOUR ORGANIZATION THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE TIME TO BE ABLE TO SHARE YOUR WORK.

AND I COMMEND YOU FOR, UM, THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

UM, IT REALLY IS INSPIRING TO THINK OF, UM, JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR CARE AND DEDICATION FOR YOUR COMMUNITY THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GIVE BACK IN SO MANY WAYS, UM, IN THINKING ABOUT, UM, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ELDERLY AND, UM, JUST EVEN BEING CONNECTED WITH ONE ANOTHER THROUGH GARDENING AND SO FORTH.

SO I COMMEND YOU.

SO THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU CHAIRMAN.

THANK YOU SUPERVISOR.

ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? PERFECT.

I'LL ECHO WHAT MY FELLOW SUPERVISOR SAID AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE.

IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES UP HERE.

YOU EMBODY SOME OF THE, THE, THE BEST OF OUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE OF YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SEE A NEED AND FEEL A NEED.

AND, UH, I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALL TRY TO ASPIRE TO DO AND OUR COMMUNITIES TRY TO ASPIRE TO DO.

BUT YOU DEFINITELY ARE DOING IT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, GREAT WORK ON THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AND, UH, THANK YOU SUPERVISOR SEYMOUR FOR INVITING IT TO COME AND LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO, TO SUPPORT THEM.

SO THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TODAY.

ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON THEN ON THE AGENDA.

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

BILL BEST COULDN'T BE HERE, SO I'M HERE IN HIS PLACE.

UM, THIS IS, UH, WE RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FOR AN ABANDONMENT FOR A WHAT WE'VE CALLED A, A STUB ROAD.

WHAT IT IS, IS IT'S A PORTION OF THE SCOTS PINE MEADOW NUMBER TWO SUBDIVISION.

AND IT WAS ANTICIPATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A CONNECTION TO THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH WHEN THIS WAS SUBDIVIDED.

THIS, THIS PROPERTY TO THE NORTH, WHICH IS NOW ELK SPRINGS, DIDN'T UTILIZE THIS CONNECTION POINT.

[00:45:01]

AND SO WE RECEIVED AN APPLICATION FOR AN ABANDONMENT OF THIS STUB RIGHT AWAY FROM DAVID THOMPSON, WHO IS THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER TO THE WEST.

THE, THE PROPERTY NORTH OF THIS STUB, AS I MENTIONED, IS PART OF, UH, THE ELK SPRING SUBDIVISION AND IT HAS BEEN SUBDIVIDED AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A HOME ON THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF THIS.

SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY NEED FOR AN ACCESS THROUGH.

AND THEREFORE WE ARE RECOMMENDING, UM, APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM.

THE, THE RIGHT OF WAY ITSELF IS IN DISTRICT FOUR, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE SUBDIVISION SOUTH OF THERE IS IN DISTRICT FIVE.

UM, WE ADVERTISED THIS WITHIN 300 FEET OF THIS RIGHT OF WAY AND DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION BACK EITHER FOR OR AGAINST.

UM, THAT'S BASICALLY THE, THE APPLICATION THAT WE RECEIVED.

I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, MR. FLAKE, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IT'S JUST MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS ABANDONMENT ARE WILLING TO PURCHASE, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY.

AND SO THAT THERE ISN'T A DISPUTE ON FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT, UM, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IF, IF AND WHEN IT WANTS, THEY WANT TO PURCHASE THAT IT WILL COME BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR THAT APPROVAL.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, NO MORE QUESTIONS.

CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION CHAIR.

UM, HE WAS A COUSIN OF MINE AND WE JUST, UM, PHIL THAT, UM, A GREAT YOUNG LEADER FOR, AND A ROLE MODEL FOR THE YOUNGER FOLKS, UM, HAS PASSED ON, ALTHOUGH WE SAY HE JOURNEYED ON WITH HIS ANCESTORS.

UM, WE, UM, A LOT OF US TALKED ABOUT IT AND SEARCH HOW IF ANYONE WOULD, UM, FILL HIS SHOES IN WHAT HE HAD DONE.

HE, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS HE DID WAS, UM, FIGHT THE URANIUM MINES IN THE GRAND CANYON AS WELL AS, UM, THE SNOWBALL, THE USE OF, UH, WASTEWATER.

SO IT IS, HE WAS WELL KNOWN AND, UM, AND, UH, WE, I WAS SHOCKED THAT HE HAD PASSED ON AS MANY OF THE PEOPLE WERE.

AND THERE WAS A LOT OF, UM, POSITIVE RESPONSE TO HIS CELEBRATION OF LIFE THAT HAPPENED LAST SATURDAY IN FLAGSTAFF.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU BECAUSE, UM, I REALLY THINK THAT HIS INDIGENOUS WORK, UM, SHOULD BE REFLECTED ON.
