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

UM, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU TODAY.

UM, I'M BRINGING WITH ME TODAY, KELSEY, NICE AND KIANA DAVIS.

THEY ARE OUR PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATES, UM, ASSIGNED TO US FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS FROM THE CDC.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATE PROGRAM IS FOR RECENT, UM, COLLEGE GRADUATES, AND IT IS DESIGNED TO, TO HELP INSTILL, UM, CAREER TRAINING AND TOOLS SO THAT THEY CAN FURTHER THEIR CAREERS IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH FIELD.

UM, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US BECAUSE THE CDC PAYS THEIR SALARY AND RES FOR TWO YEARS, AND WE GET TO USE THEM AND THEY COME TO US HIGHLY QUALIFIED AND MOTIVATED AND EAGER TO WORK.

SO WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO WITHOUT THEM BECAUSE THEY GIVE US EXTRA CAPACITY IN OUR WORKFORCE.

UM, PHAP, UM, WAS DEVELOPED IN 2007 AND SINCE THEN, 1800 INDIVIDUALS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE, UM, PROGRAM.

UM, IT CHANGES EVERY YEAR HOW MANY ASSOCIATES, UM, THEY PUSH OUT BASED ON FUNDING.

UM, IT WAS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY.

SO NEXT YEAR THERE WAS ONLY 58 SPOTS FUNDED, SO WE DIDN'T GET, UM, P HS AGAIN FOR NEXT YEAR.

BUT WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THESE TWO LADIES.

AND THEN I'VE ASKED THEM TO EACH SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HELPED US ACCOMPLISH AND SOME OF THEIR PLANS FOR NEXT STEPS.

SO, GOOD MORNING.

UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO JANELLE AND THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR HAVING KIANA AND I HERE TODAY.

MY NAME IS KELSEY NEE AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE NAVAJO COUNTY WOMEN INFANTS AND CHILDREN, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE WIC PROGRAM FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS NOW.

UM, MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE ALL VERY SURPRISED WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS MOVING FROM THE EAST COAST.

I'M ORIGINALLY FROM NEW JERSEY, UM, TO A SMALL ARIZONA TOWN, BUT I TRULY AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY THAT I'VE HAD FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.

UM, THANK YOU AGAIN TO JANELLE LYNN, TO IVY MCCULLOUGH AND KATIE CHI FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP, UM, AND THE REST OF OUR INCREDIBLE WIC TEAM FOR TAKING ME IN.

UM, OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS IN WIC, I SERVED AS A COMMUNITY NUTRITION EDUCATOR PERFORMING ONE-ON-ONE CLIENT APPOINTMENTS.

I'VE LOVED THIS ROLE GETTING TO KNOW THE NAVAJO COUNTY COMMUNITY THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR WIC FAMILIES.

UM, I ALSO LED THE OUTREACH EFFORTS FOR OUR PROGRAM AND HELPED EXPAND OUR WIC REFERRAL SYSTEMS BY ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.

LASTLY, I CREATED OUR ANNUAL WIC BABY SHOWER EVENTS, WHICH SERVE AS A UNIQUE WAY TO INTERACT WITH OUR CLIENTS OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE, BUILD TRUST WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND GET OUR CLIENTS CONNECTED TO NEEDED COMMUNITY RESOURCES.

WE HELD BABY SHOWER EVENTS IN SHOW LOW AND WINSLOW LAST MONTH, WHERE WE HAD 52 TOTAL ATTENDEES AND SERVED 25% OF ALL PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WINSLOW PARTICIPANTS.

WIC IS SUCH A SPECIAL AND NEEDED PROGRAM, AND IT HAS BEEN SO INCREDIBLE GETTING TO BEGIN MY PUBLIC HEALTH CAREER AT NAVAJO COUNTY WIC.

UM, MY TIME AT NAVAJO COUNTY FURTHER DEVELOPED AND INFORMED AN EXISTING PASSION THAT I HAD FOR RURAL AND TRIBAL HEALTH.

I'M EXCITED TO BE CONTINUING WITH THE CDC AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISOR FOR THEIR HEALTHY TRIBES PROGRAM.

I WILL BE RELOCATING TO ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO FOR THIS ROLE.

UM, HEALTHY TRIBES OPERATES THREE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH 76 TRIBAL PARTNERS ACROSS THE US AND AIMS TO IMPROVE TRIBAL HEALTH BY SUPPORTING TRADITIONAL PRACTICES AND CULTURAL CONNECTIVENESS.

UM, I AM TRULY SO GRATEFUL FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE SPENT WITH NAVAJO COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE INDIVIDUALS THAT I'VE MET ALONG THE WAY.

UM, THANK YOU AGAIN AND I WILL PASS IT OVER TO, UM, KIANA.

ADDITIONALLY, I DEVELOPED

AND THANK YOU AGAIN TO JANELLE AND TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.

MY NAME IS KIANA AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE NAVAJO COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY JOURNEY AND THE OPPORTUNITIES I HAVE HAD DURING MY TIME WITH NAVAJO COUNTY.

OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, I LEARNED ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND I CONDUCTED OVER 400 HEALTH INSPECTIONS FOR OUR RESTAURANT SCHOOLS AND OTHER FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

AND AT SPECIAL EVENTS, ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTH CODES AND ENHANCING FOOD SAFETY IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I THEN HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD A PROJECT TO DEVELOP THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM THROUGH A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT WITH THE FDA VOLUNTARY NATIONAL RETAIL FOOD REGULATORY PROGRAM STANDARDS.

PART OF THIS PROJECT WAS CONDUCTING A COMPREHENSIVE BASELINE RISK FACTOR STUDY USING OUR INSPECTION DATA TO IDENTIFY NAVAJO COUNTY'S PRIORITY RISK FACTORS FOR THE OCCURRENCE OF FOODBORNE ILLNESS AND TO DEVELOP INTERVENTION STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS AND IMPROVE FOOD SAFETY.

[00:10:01]

POLICIES FOR OUR PROGRAM AND, UM, HELPED WITH MEETING FOUR OF THE FDA STANDARDS.

THIS LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY REALLY HELPED ME GROW PROFESSIONALLY AND FEEL I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MY WORK PROMOTING SAFE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THE PROGRESS WE MADE IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, UM, BY MEETING THESE STANDARDS HELPS INCREASE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF FOOD SAFETY, IMPROVE OUR REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY TRUST IN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH EFFORTS.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY HEARTFELT GRATITUDE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE NAVAJO COUNTY.

THE SUPPORT FROM MY COLLEAGUES AND SUPERVISORS HAS BEEN INVALUABLE.

JANELLE LYNN, RHONDA KRAUSE, AND CATHERINE MATTHEWSON TO NAME A FEW.

I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR COMMUNITY'S HEALTH WHILE DEVELOPING MY SKILLS DURING MY TIME HERE.

I HAVE DEVELOPED SKILLS FROM DATA ANALYSIS TO STRATEGIC PLANNING AND FACILITATING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE STI WORK GROUP.

I HAVE LEARNED FROM OBSERVING EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S WORK, PRIORITIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGAGING WITH PARTNERS IN OUR STAKEHOLDERS.

THE EXPERIENCES AND SKILLS I HAVE GAINED HERE HAVE PREPARED ME FOR MY UPCOMING CDC FIELD ASSIGNMENT WITH THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

UM, THIS IS THROUGH THE PREPAREDNESS FIELD ASSIGNEE PROGRAM.

I LOOK FORWARD TO APPLYING MY KNOWLEDGE IN PUBLIC HEALTH AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WHILE GAINING FURTHER INSIGHTS INTO THESE CRITICAL AREAS.

AS I TRANSITION TO MY NEW ROLE, I'M COMMITTED TO LEVERAGING MY EXPERIENCES TO STRENGTHEN PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS AND CONTINUE MY GROWTH AS A LEADER IN THE FIELD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE PART OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK AND WONDERFUL COMMUNITY.

SO, CATHERINE MATTHEWSON AND IVY MC SERVED AS OUR, UM, HOST SITE SUPERVISORS FOR THESE LADIES.

UM, SO CATHERINE IS AT A CONFERENCE TODAY, SO RHONDA'S STEPPING IN FOR HER, BUT I ASKED THEM TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE IN WORKING WITH THEM TOO.

AND THEN WE HAVE A CERTIFICATE AND A SMALL TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION FOR THESE LADIES.

GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN, SUPERVISORS.

I'M IVY MCCULLOUGH.

I'M THE NUTRITION DIVISION MANAGER.

AND I JUST WANNA SAY HOW GREAT IT IS TO WORK FOR THE WIC PROGRAM.

IT'S A SPECIAL YEAR FOR US.

IT'S ACTUALLY OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY, UM, OF BEING A FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAM, WHICH IS SO NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND I JUST WANNA THANK KELSEY FOR ALL OF HER HARD WORK THROUGH THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT ALLOWED US TO INCREASE OUR CASELOAD.

CURRENTLY WE'RE SERVING 115% OF OUR CASELOAD, WHICH IS ALLOWING US TO INCREASE OUR FUNDING.

SO WE'RE JUST VERY GRATEFUL FOR HAVING KELSEY HERE THE LAST TWO YEARS AND ALL OF THE WORK SHE DID IN OUTREACH, WHICH MADE US MORE VISIBLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

MORNING CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR AND SUPERVISORS.

SO THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO A STORY.

WHEN I FIRST MET, UM, KIANA AND HER AND KELSEY WERE MOVING INTO AN APARTMENT AND WE WERE TRYING TO FIND FURNITURE FOR HER.

AND ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS EMPLOYEES HAD A TABLE THAT WAS, SHE WAS WILLING TO GIVE UP AND .

IT TOOK ALL OF US TO CIRCLE THIS OUTSIDE, UM, PATIO TO TRY AND GET THIS, UH, TABLE INTO THIS SMALL APARTMENT.

IT WAS JUST KIND OF FUNNY, BUT I MEAN, THAT'S THE TYPE OF, UH, RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH OUR PEOPLE.

AND IT WAS JUST SO GREAT AND I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS.

SO, UM, KIANA, SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR THE PROGRAM.

SHE KIND OF SHORTENED IT, BUT SHE DID GREAT.

SHE HELPED US DO, UM, HER PRIMARY GOAL WAS TO HELP US WITH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

TO ME, THAT'S THE FOUNDATION OF ANY ORGANIZATION, IS TO HAVE THAT SOLID FOUNDATION.

SHE'S HELPED US ORGANIZE THAT.

SHE'S HELPED US, UM, IMPLEMENT AND GET MORE GRANT FUNDING.

SHE'S WROTE HER FIRST GRANT, UM, AND HELPED US GET THAT MONEY.

SO IT'S BEEN GREAT.

UM, THE BIGGEST THING THAT I WANNA KIND OF CONTRIBUTE IS THE LEGACY.

THESE LADIES ARE.

IT'S A, IT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT LEGACY DOES.

UM, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ONLY HERE FOR TWO YEARS, THEY'VE CHANGED AND ADDED SO MUCH TO THESE TWO PROGRAMS. IT'S CRAZY.

UM, AND IT'S HARD TO SPIT IT OUT IN FIVE MINUTES.

BUT, UM, FROM KIANA WORKING AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE EH PROGRAM, AND KELSEY WITH HER SPECIAL PROGRAMS HAVE SET A, HAVE SET A PRECEDENT FOR THE STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE THAT WE SHOULD ALL TRY TO ACHIEVE A LEGACY LIKE THESE LADIES.

HIGHLIGHT HOW EVERY INDIVIDUAL IN AN ORGANIZATION CAN SHAPE ITS FUTURE, DRIVE INNOVATION, AND CREATE LASTING, UM, POSITIVE CHANGE FOR BOTH OF THESE PROGRAMS. SO DO YOU WANT TO PULL THIS OUT? OH, THIS,

[00:15:35]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? UH, I'LL GO AHEAD AND JUST SAY THANK YOU.

WE'VE ENJOYED HAVING YOU HERE.

APPRECIATE THE GOOD WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE WHILE YOU'VE BEEN HERE.

AND, UH, APPRECIATE THE LEADERSHIP GOING AND GETTING THESE TYPES OF GRANTS AND THESE TYPES OF THINGS.

I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER, UH, ITEM ON THE AGENDA WHERE WE'LL HIGHLIGHT A GRANT THAT WAS ACCEPTED, BUT REALLY APPRECIATE THE TEAM HERE AT NAVAJO COUNTY AND LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING ADDITIONAL VALUE TO OUR CITIZENS AND BRING ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TO THE AREA THAT HELP MAKE IT BETTER PLACE.

SO, THANK YOU.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

ALRIGHT, WITH THAT, WE'LL NEED A MOTION TO GO BACK INTO REGULAR SESSION.

MOTION.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US.

TALK TOO LONG HERE, BUT, UM, THERE'S SO MUCH I NEED TO TELL YOU.

MY NAME IS MARK LAMB.

CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME ALL RIGHT? I GUESS.

ANYWAYS, UH, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I WALKED IN HERE AND I THANKED EVERYBODY FOR THIS, UH, MIRACULOUS EDISON PROGRAM THAT YOU PUT ME ON.

UM, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER AND ONE SPECIALIST SAID I WAS PAST THE POINT OF CHEMO, RADIATION OR ANYTHING ELSE.

WENT AND GOT ANOTHER OPINION.

I'M GLAD MY WIFE IS HERE TODAY AND TUCSON.

AND SHE WAS THERE.

AND HE TOLD ME RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER AND MY, OUR SON THAT I JUST HAD MONTHS TO LIVE.

I GOT TO CRYING AND BAWLING MAYO CLINIC TURNED ME DOWN.

I WAS DRIVING A WATER TRUCK OUT HERE ON A DIRT ROAD IN SNOWFLAKE.

MAYO CLINIC CALLED ME UP.

THEY TURNED ME DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SO I JUST STARTED CRYING AND BAWLING.

I JUST HAD A COMPLETE MENTAL BREAKDOWN.

I WAS, UH, I WASN'T A BROKEN MAN.

I WAS JUST A SHELL OF A HUMAN BEING.

I DON'T WANNA GO OUT LIKE THAT.

NOBODY DOES.

BUT ANYWAYS, THE VERY NEXT MORNING, I, BUT I ASKED, I ASKED GOD, I LOOKED UP AT THE SKY.

I'M NOT A MEMBER OF ANY CHURCH OR NOTHING, BUT I SAID, IF, IF YOU, IF YOU, IF YOU DON'T HELP ME, I GUESS NOBODY'S GOING TO AND NOBODY CAN.

UM, WILL YOU HELP ME? AND AS THE, AND I'VE TOLD THIS STORY ALL OVER CALIFORNIA, IT SEEMS LIKE, BUT, UM, THE VERY NEXT MORNING, ERIC SCOTT CALLED ME AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT.

HE SAID, MARK, THIS JUST FELL OUT OF THE SKY.

I SAID, THIS GUY, WE GOT A HOLD OF THIS GUY AND HE'S, HE'S GONNA HELP YOU.

WELL, HE REALLY HAS.

IT'S CALLED EDISON HEALTH.

AND YOU PUT HIM THERE AND I BROUGHT YOU SOME HATS.

I I, UH, I DON'T WANNA

[00:20:01]

UM, SINCE I GOT TO GOING OUT THERE TO CALIFORNIA, I, I STARTED, I EVEN WENT AND TOLD MY STORY TO A JEWISH SYNAGOGUE IN LOS ANGELES.

THEY WENT CRAZY OVER IT.

THEY'VE WRITTEN A SCRIPT ABOUT IT, AND THEY'RE GONNA TRY TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT IT AND PUT IT ON NETFLIX.

THEY'RE WRITING A BOOK ABOUT IT.

BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE CHANGING THENAR NARRATIVE QUITE A BIT.

I, I, I THINK, YOU KNOW, BUT THEY ARE GONNA GIVE ME A LITTLE SEGMENT TO TALK ON THE POWER OF PRAYER.

AND I, AT FIRST I THOUGHT, POWER OF PRAYER, ME, BUT THEN WHY NOT ME, I GUESS.

BUT I WANNA LET ALL OF YOU KNOW ON THIS BOARD, YOU'RE A PART OF THIS MIRACULOUS THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME.

AND I WANT, I BROUGHT YOU THESE HATS AND THERE'S A LITTLE STORY BEHIND THAT.

BUT I WANNA READ YOU SOMETHING.

FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS, THIS IS THE NEWS I'VE BEEN GETTING.

THIS IS FROM, I'LL JUST READ YOU THIS SHORT THING.

IT'S, IT'S FROM A CAP SCAN THAT I JUST GOT.

ALL MY BLOOD WORK SHOWED GOOD FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF BETTER.

THEY SAY IT'S BETTER THAN THEIR BLOOD.

UM, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY, NO EVIDENCE OF RECURRENT OR METASTATIC DISEASE IN THE CHEST, ABDOMEN, AND PELVIS.

AND I'VE BEEN GETTING THAT FOR 18 MONTHS.

SO ME AND MY WIFE DECIDED IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TRY TO RETIRE.

YOU KNOW, AND I'M SO THANKFUL TO YOU.

EVERY ONE OF YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GONNA COME A TIME IN YOUR LIVES WHEN JESUS IS GONNA SAY TO YOU, WHEN I HAD NOWHERE TO GO AND NO TREATMENT, NO HELP.

YOU FOUND A WAY FOR ME TO GET HELP.

AND THIS APPLIES TO ERIC, SCOTT TOO.

AND JASON, AND I WISH BOB RIPLEY WAS HERE.

JASON FROM, UH, MAHONEY GROUP.

AND YOU'RE GONNA SAY, WHEN DID I EVER DO THAT FOR YOU? AND YOU, AND HE'S GONNA TELL YOU IN AS MUCH AS YOU'VE DONE IT FOR ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES, MARK LAMB, THAT BELIEVES IN ME, YOU'VE DONE IT FOR ME.

THERE'S A LOT MORE HAPPENING HERE THAN, THAN JUST BUILDING ROADS AND, AND, AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU.

I REALLY DO.

THIS COMES FROM MY HEART.

I GOT MY BEST CLOTHES ON.

I WORE THAT SAME $300 COWBOY HAT.

AND, UH, I DON'T WEAR IT FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN STUFF LIKE THIS.

BUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU A, I WANT TO GIVE ALL OF YOU A HAT AND, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR YOU, BUT THIS IS WHAT ME AND MY WIFE COULD AFFORD.

SEE THE L TWO BRAND ON THERE, THAT'S THE LAST PLACE THEY COULD FIND CANCER SPREAD THROUGHOUT MY BODY.

AND IT MEANS MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE THIS L TWO IS MY DAD'S CATTLE BRAND.

HE GOT 1952 AND HE ALWAYS SAID IT STANDS FOR TWO LAMBS.

WELL, MY DAD PASSED AWAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND SO, AND I, AND YOU GUYS WROTE ME A LETTER.

I APPRECIATE THAT, THAT, UH, CONDOLENCE FROM MY DAD.

UM, SO I WANT ALL OF YOU TO PICK OUT A HAT.

YOU CAN GO HANG IT ON YOUR WALL.

YOU CAN WEAR IT, YOU CAN THROW IT AWAY.

YOU CAN THROW DARTS AT IT.

WHEN I GIVE SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY, IT'S THEIRS.

IT'S NOT MINE ANYMORE.

SO I, I I, I WANT ALL OF YOU TO PICK A HAT OUT.

I'LL PUT 'EM ON THE TABLE RIGHT HERE.

JUST POINT AT IT AND I'LL, I'LL TAKE IT TO YOU BECAUSE THIS, THIS WAS IN MY, THE L TWO VERTEBRAE IN MY SPINE, BUT IT WAS ALSO MY DAD'S BRAND.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS BELIEVE IN THIS TYPE OF THING WHERE THOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE CAN HELP US.

I DIDN'T BEFORE, BUT I DO NOW .

IN FACT, I KNOW THEY DO.

SO, UH, IF, IF YOU DON'T MIND THE, THE BOARD AND BRIAN LEIGHTON, YOU WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN KEEPING ME HERE WHEN I FIRST STARTED EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

I ALMOST LEFT, BUT YOU WERE VERY INSTRUMENTAL.

AND SO I WANT TO GIVE ONE TO YOU, AND I WANT TO GIVE ONE TO, I WANT RICKY DENTON AND ERIC SCOTT, ESPECIALLY ERIC SCOTT, TO PICK ONE OUT.

SO I'LL PUT 'EM ON THE TABLE HERE, AND YOU JUST POINT TO HIM AND I'LL TAKE 'EM TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT? YOU CAN COME AROUND.

LET'S DO A PICTURE, PREACHER.

OH, THERE'S DIFFERENT COLORS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.

BUT, UH, THIS MUCH I DO KNOW AS OF TODAY, THIS DAY AND TIME, I'M ABSOLUTELY CANCER FREE.

ALL MY BLOOD WORK IS GOOD.

AND I WON'T BE ON THE EDISON HEALTH NO MORE.

I'M, I'M PRETTY SURE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED.

THE, THE BIG PFIZER PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION, THEY'RE TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANY NOW.

THEY HAVE AGREED .

I'VE NEVER MET THESE PEOPLE, BUT THEY HAVE AGREED THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR MY TRAVEL AND MY TREATMENTS IF I NEED MORE.

AND THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THIS STORY JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING AND GOING, I'M JUST AMAZED AT OUR, AS OUR FATHER, I DON'T EVEN CALL HIM OUR FATHER ANYMORE.

HE, IT'S GOT SO MUCH PERSONAL AND INTIMATE WITH ME.

HE'S MY HEAVENLY DAD BECAUSE NOBODY BUT HIM COULD HAVE DONE WHAT HE'D DONE.

BUT I WANT TO TELL ALL OF YOU THAT HE USED YOU TO DO IT.

AND THE PEOPLE, AND THE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE.

SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.

ARE WE GONNA NEED A COUPLE OF THEM TO GO UP? YEAH.

YEAH, THAT BETTER RAIN.

SO GO.

LET'S HAVE YOU GO UP TOP AND I KNOW.

UM, LEMME SEE IF WE CAN GET EVERYONE IN FRAME SMILE THOUGH.

I THINK WE CAN SEE EVERYONE'S FACE.

LEMME MOVE UP THERE.

THERE'S PAUL.

OKAY, ONE MORE MY FAULT, NOT PAUL'S.

1, 2, 3.

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE.

LOOKS LIKE WE GOT MOST TRANSITION DONE.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO

[a. Presentation to Deputy County Attorney, Martin Roes, who received the APAAC Juvenile Prosecutor of the Year Award from the Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys’ Advisory Council]

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

ITEM NUMBER FOUR TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

UH, PRESENTATION TO DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY MARTIN ROSE WHO RECEIVED THE A APAC.

APAC OKAY.

APAC JUVENILE PROSECUTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR THE ARIZONA PROSECUTING ATTORNEY'S ADVISORY COUNCIL.

BRAD, UM, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE ARIZONA PROSECUTING ATTORNEY'S ADVISORY COUNCIL REPRESENTS ALL THE PROSECUTORS IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO THE 15 COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICES TO EVERY MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE THAT HANDLES CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS.

AND AT THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE EVERY SUMMER, APAC RECOGNIZES SOME OF THE BEST BRIGHTEST AND HARDEST WORKING PROSECUTORS IN THE STATE, FROM FELONY PROSECUTORS TO MISDEMEANOR PROSECUTORS, APPELLATE PROSECUTORS, AND ALSO JUVENILE PROSECUTORS.

THIS PAST SUMMER, MARTIN ROSE WAS RECOGNIZED AS THE MOST OUTSTANDING JUVENILE PROSECUTOR IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

UH, NOT ONLY IS THAT A REFLECTION ON THE SKILLS AND WORK THAT MARTIN HAS, BUT IT'S

[00:45:01]

A REFLECTION OF THE QUALITY OF THE ATTORNEYS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BRING TO NAVAJO COUNTY TO HELP BRING JUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS IN OUR COUNTY.

JUST THIS MORNING I RECEIVED A, A EMAIL DECISION FROM THE ARIZONA COURT OF APPEALS ON A JUVENILE MATTER THAT MARTIN HANDLED.

UH, IT WAS, UH, A CHILD, UH, SEX OFFENDER CASE AND IT WAS AN LEGAL ISSUE CONCERNING SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION.

AND NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE COURT OF APPEALS AGREED WITH MARTIN'S POSITION AND WHAT THE COURT RULED ON.

THAT BEING A JUVENILE PROSECUTOR, PETER REALLY TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF DISCRETION AND TAKES SOMEBODY WITH A VERY MATURE STATE OF MIND TO HANDLE THE PURPOSE.

EXPLICIT PURPOSE OF THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS NOT PUNISHMENT AS IT CAN BE FOR ADULTS.

IT IS REFORM TO HELP A JUVENILE GET OFF THE PATH THAT BROUGHT THEM INTO OUR JUVENILE COURT.

SO IT TAKES A LOT OF BALANCING BY SOMEBODY LIKE MARTIN TO UNDERSTAND HOW DO WE PROTECT OUR VICTIMS, BUT AT THE SAME AND OUR COMMUNITIES, AND AT THE SAME TIME HELP GET THAT CHANGE THAT THE JUVENILE APPEARS TO NEED.

AND MARTIN IS OUTSTANDING IN FINDING THAT BALANCE.

HE IS OUTSTANDING IN HELPING TO TURN AROUND THE LIVES OF JUVENILES SO THAT THEY BECOME PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS AND NOT SOMEBODY WHO BECOMES INVOLVED IN OUR ADULT CRIMINAL SYSTEM, EITHER WHEN THEY TURN 18 OR JUST BEFORE THEY TURN 18, AND WE CAN TRANSFER THEM.

UH, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT MARTIN AND THE WORK THAT HE HAS DONE, AND I THINK IF YOU WERE TO TALK TO JUDGE RLE, SHE WOULD ECHO THOSE SENTIMENTS.

HE HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND UNDERSTANDS WHAT HIS ROLE IS AS A JUVENILE PROSECUTOR.

SO HE DID.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BRAD.

IS HE HERE? PERFECT.

MOVE ON THEN TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

WE WANNA DO A PICTURE WITH YOU, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? RIGHT.

I'LL SAY, UM, AND MARTIN, I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE PROBABLY RIGHT BACK TO WORK AND GETTING THINGS DONE, BUT ANYHOW, UH, THANK YOU.

AND THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR.

WE'VE HAD TWO DIFFERENT, UH, I KNOW IT WAS A DIFFERENT POSITION LAST YEAR, BUT TWO PEOPLE FROM YOUR OFFICE THAT HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED IN THIS MATTER IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

SO IF, IF YOU GO INTO THE LOBBY AREA OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR, YOU'LL NOTICE PHOTOS ON THE WALLS.

AND THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED THAT HAVE BEEN ATTORNEYS WITH THE NAVAJO COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THERE AWARD RECIPIENTS WHOSE PHOTO IS NOT UP THERE.

UH, AND THAT IS BECAUSE THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THAT, OR THEIR FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF SOME OF THE CASES THAT THEY HANDLE.

SO THAT'S NOT A FULL REFLECTION OF THE AWARDS THAT ATTORNEYS IN THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAVE RECEIVED, BUT JUST, UH, A NUMBER OF THEM.

BUT WE ARE VERY BLESSED AND FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH OUTSTANDING ATTORNEYS IN NAVAJO COUNTY.

WELL, THANK YOU.

AND IT WAS GREAT TO RECOGNIZE HIM TODAY.

SO APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

ALRIGHT, WE'LL

[a. Consideration of an award from the Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance in the amount of $2,307,000 for the continuation and expansion of the Navajo County Sheriff's Office Public Safety Interoperability Communication Project.]

ITEM NUMBER FIVE, SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

CONSIDERATION OF AN AWARD FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS BUREAU OF

[00:50:01]

JUSTICE ASSISTANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,307,000 FOR THE CONTINUATION AND EXPANSION OF NAAU COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATION PROJECT.

MOUTHFUL.

YEAH, THAT'S A MOUTHFUL, BUT GREAT WORK.

IT WAS A LOT OF MONEY, SO IT WAS WORTH IT.

OVER TO LIEUTENANT WHIPPLE, TO KIND OF TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, IT'S BIG.

WELL, GOOD MORNING, UH, CHAIRMAN WHITING, VICE CHAIR BENAL ALI AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

GOOD TO BE HERE.

JUST A MATTER OF RECORD, I GUESS I JUST WANNA SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE EMPLOYEES.

YOU'VE RECOGNIZED QUITE A FEW THIS MORNING, MANY FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

UH, CONGRATS TO DEPUTY OR CHIEF.

UH, DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY ROSE ON, UH, PROSECUTOR OF THE YEAR.

THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, QUITE REMARKABLE.

UM, AS FAR AS RECORD WILEY WILLIAMS, 15 YEARS, HE, THIS IS HIS SECOND STINT.

HE HAD TO GO TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTY AND WEAR EVERY UNIFORM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

BUT YEAH, HE'S BEEN BACK FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS TIME.

HE'S, WE'VE, WE'VE RETAINED HIM FOR 15 YEARS AND HE IS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB.

AND JOEL RLE, 40 YEARS, THAT'S AMAZING.

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN HIS OFFICE, IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN THERE FOR 60 AS A, AS A, UH, DETECTIVE USED TO HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND PRESENT CASES TO HIM, AND YOU COULDN'T HARDLY FIND 'EM.

'CAUSE OF ALL THE FILES AND THIS BOOK STACKED AROUND HIM.

BUT 40 YEARS, THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, THAT'S AMAZING.

AND QUITE, UH, QUITE HONESTLY, NAVAJO COUNTY'S A SAFER PLACE BECAUSE OF, UH, PEOPLE LIKE ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE MENTIONED HERE TODAY, AND JOEL RLE AND MARTIN ROSE, UH, FOR THEIR, THEIR WORK.

UM, SO WHILE WE'RE HERE TODAY, WE WERE HERE JUST LAST MONTH, UH, TO, UM, BRING FORTH A GRANT, UM, WITH A, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR, UH, CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS, KIND OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT SIDE.

THIS, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US FOR MORE INFRASTRUCTURE, MORE COMMUNICATION, UH, KIND OF THE BACK WORKINGS OF, OF A, UH, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.

UM, LIEUTENANT WHIPPLE'S GONNA GIVE THE PRESENTATION.

I'M JUST GONNA GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND OF HOW WE GOT HERE AND WHY WE'RE HERE.

REMEMBER, FOUR, FOUR YEARS AGO, WE HAD A 9 1 1 OUTAGE.

IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGED FIBER OPTIC LINE.

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THESE TYPES OF THINGS.

I KNOW THE COUNTY'S INVESTING A LOT OF DOLLARS ON THE MIDDLE MILE PROJECT, WHICH NOT ONLY HELPS WITH BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND THOSE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTIES OUTLINE, BUT IT ALSO HELPS WITH PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE FACT OF OUR 9 1 1 CENTERS.

WE DO HAVE THESE OUTAGES THAT HAPPEN, BUT IT'S, WE'RE ALL DEPENDENT UPON PROVIDERS, UH, NET UH, NETWORKS AND FIBER OPTIC LINES AND THESE THINGS THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY'RE RUNNING.

BUT WHEN THEY'RE DAMAGED OR THEY'RE, UH, SEVERED LIKE THAT, THEN WE'RE DOWN.

AND FOUR YEARS AGO WE WERE DOWN FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS.

NAVAJO COUNTY, WE WERE JUST DOWN FOR A DAY.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GRABBED THE ATTENTION OF, OF, AT THE TIME GOVERNOR DUCEY OFFICE WAS VERY ENGAGED.

BUT, UM, SENATOR KELLY'S OFFICE REACHED OUT TO US BECAUSE WE WERE WORKING WITH HOW DO WE FIX IT? WHAT DO WE NEED TO FIX IT? HOW COME WE WERE JUST TRYING TO GRASP THAT.

SO I WANT TO THANK, UH, LUTHER LEE'S HERE TODAY, I THINK, OR IS HE STILL OUT? OH, THERE HE IS.

UH, HE'S WITH SENATOR KELLY'S OFFICE.

HIS STAFF REACHED OUT TO US WHEN WE WERE WORKING ON THAT ISSUE.

UM, WE HAD A, UM, UH, THE CORPORATION COMMISSION HEARING ACTUALLY IN APACHE COUNTY.

UH, SENATOR KELLY'S OFFICE WAS THERE, UH, THROUGH THE WHOLE STEP.

WE WERE WORKING ON THAT ISSUE.

BUT WE HAD ALSO BROUGHT UP THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR COMMUNICATION, MORE OF OUR RADIO AS OUR PORTABLES AND OUR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION.

AND THEIR STAFF REACHED OUT AND SAYS, YOU GUYS MENTIONED THAT.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR IT? WHAT, WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF OPTIONS? AND I SAYS, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE DON'T KNOW.

WE PUT THIS ON PAPER.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW WE NEED TO ACHIEVE.

UH, ONE OF, IN MY FIRST YEAR SHERIFF, UH, SOME OF THESE VENDORS, MOTOROLA HARRIS, THEY HAD ALL HAD MET WITH ME AND THEY SAID, THIS IS THE TYPE OF, UH, WE COULD BUILD THIS UP, BUT IT'S GONNA COST THEM THE RANGE OF THREE, FOUR, $5 MILLION DEPENDING ON, AND YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU'RE LIKE, THAT'S A THIRD OF MY BUDGET.

THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO EVER ACHIEVE THIS.

UM, BUT LIEUTENANT WHIPPLE KEPT BUILDING, UM, THE, THOSE PROGRAMS OR THAT PLAN, PUT IT, PUT THE BLUEPRINT TOGETHER.

UM, AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT OUTAGE THAT WE HAD THE CONVERSATION FACE-TO-FACE WITH SENATOR KELLY'S OFFICE AND SENATOR, UH, SIMA'S OFFICE.

THEIR STAFF SAID, THERE'S THESE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THESE, UH, BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANTS.

UM, AND SO WE APPLIED LAST YEAR.

WE WEREN'T APPROVED.

WE APPLIED THIS YEAR AND, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO APPROVE.

WE USED, UM, WE CAME BEFORE YOU EARLIER OR LATE LAST YEAR, AND WE HAD THOSE DEMA DOLLARS THAT WE WERE, WE PRAYED FOR PART OF THE PROJECT.

NOW, WITH THIS, WE WERE ABLE TO, TO FINISH THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

AND BEFORE I TURN IT

[00:55:01]

IT'S BIG DOLLARS.

AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, AND, AND TO THE PUBLIC TO KNOW, WHEN WE GO OUT FOR THESE GRANTS, IT'S NOT JUST LIKE, OH, IT'S JUST GRANT MONEY.

THERE'S NO, UH, STRINGS ATTACHED.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, IS STILL TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

AND WHEN WE GO AFTER THESE THINGS, WE GO THROUGH IT WITH A, UH, WITH STEWARDSHIP IN MIND OF, IS THIS WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COUNTY? IS THIS, WHAT IS, ARE WE GONNA GO OUT AND AND SECURE, UM, AWARD, UH, BIDS, UH, TO THE BEST PROVIDERS THAT IS GONNA PROVIDE US THE BEST SERVICE? AND IF IS THIS PLAN THAT WE'RE BUILDING, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA LAST? AND SOMETHING THAT WHEN WE'RE LONG GONE FROM THIS AGENCY, THAT THOSE THAT COME AFTER US CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY, HEY, THEY DID IT RIGHT.

THEY BUILT THIS INFRASTRUCTURE NOT ONLY AROUND, UM, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THESE FISCAL DOLLARS IN MIND, BUT ALSO IN THE OFFICER SAFETY AND HAVING ALL THOSE THINGS, UH, PUT TOGETHER.

UM, I I'M VERY CONFIDENT THAT, THAT THE WORK THAT THESE, UH, LIEUTENANT WHIPPLE HAS WORKING WITH THESE, THESE DIFFERENT ENTITIES HAVE PUT TOGETHER A PLAN THAT'LL LAST WELL INTO THE FUTURE.

AND THAT'LL, IT'LL BRING SUSTAINABILITY INTO THIS TYPE OF THING.

SO THE NEXT SHERIFF AND THE SHERIFF, AFTER, WHEN THEY LOOK AT IT, THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT SAYING, I'VE GOT A $5 MILLION PROJECT I GOTTA COME UP WITH, AND HOW, HOW ARE WE EVER GONNA DO IT? IT, BUT THEY'LL HAVE SOMETHING THAT'LL, THAT'LL BE, THAT'LL LAST FOR, FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

SO WITH THAT, UH, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO LIEUTENANT WHIPPLE.

HE'LL KIND OF GIVE YOU THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF, OF, OF THIS PLAN.

AND, UH, OF COURSE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US AFTERWARDS, THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, GLAD TO BE HERE TODAY AND TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU GUYS.

UM, THIS IS KIND OF BUILDING OFF OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT, THAT WERE PRESENTED AND PUT IN PLACE, UH, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, STARTING WITH ARPA FUNDING.

UM, AND THEN LAST YEAR WITH DMA FUNDING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE'RE CONTINUALLY BUILDING ON ENHANCING AND EXPANDING OUR ABILITIES TO COMMUNICATE, UH, INTEROPERABLY WITH AGENCIES ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION, ACROSS THE STATE.

UM, YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT WITH THE FUNDING THAT WE, THAT WE'VE RECEIVED, UH, PRIOR TO NOW, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TRANSPORT OFFICERS THAT ARE TRAVELING ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND THEY'RE SHOWING UP AT PLACES AND THEY'RE CHECKING OUT WITH OUR DISPATCH CENTER HERE IN HOLBROOK, ARIZONA.

AND PEOPLE ARE ASKING 'EM, WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? AND THEY'RE SAYING, OUR DISPATCHERS IN HOLBROOK.

AND THEY CAN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN PLACES LIKE CONNECTICUT, NEW JERSEY, FLORIDA, THEY'RE ALL OVER THE WORLD BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT.

AND SO THIS IS GONNA BE GROWING ON, ON THOSE PLANS AND, AND ON WHAT WE'VE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED.

DOES IT LIKE ME? NEXT? NEXT ONE.

IS IT ON? YEAH, IT'S ON.

GO AHEAD AND HIT THE NEXT ONE, MELISSA.

UM, SO AS THE SHERIFF EXPLAINED, UH, WE, UH, SOUGHT AFTER THIS GRANT.

WE WERE AWARDED $2.3 MILLION, UH, THROUGH SENATOR, UH, KELLY'S OFFICE.

AND SENATOR S'S OFFICE SAYS, THIS IS THE AWARD LETTER THAT WE RECEIVED.

UM, AND IT IT'S PRIMARILY FOR, UH, FIRST RESPONSE, INTEROPERABILITY COMMUNICATIONS.

BUT OF OUR PLAN IS TO ACQUIRE MORE MOBILE AND PORTABLE RADIOS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO OUTFIT, UM, NOT JUST FOR OUR OFFICE, UM, BUT ALSO FOR AUXILIARY PURPOSES.

UM, AND WE ALSO SAW A NEED AS WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT FOR BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE INTEROPERABLY WITH, WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN NAVAJO COUNTY.

UH, THERE WERE A LOT OF, UH, LEADERS THAT CAME TO ME SAYING, HEY, WE'RE IN KIND OF A BAD SPOT WITH OUR RADIOS.

WE HAVE OUTDATED EQUIPMENT.

IT'S NOT QUITE WORKING.

IT DOESN'T WORK THE SAME WITH YOUR GUYS' SYSTEM.

AND SO WE LOOKED AT THE NEEDS THAT THEY HAVE, AND THAT'S WHAT OUR PLAN IS THIS TIME IS WITH, WITH THE FUNDING THAT WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED AND THE FUNDING THAT WE'RE NOW GETTING, WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BENEFIT OTHER, UM, ENTITIES AND AGENCIES IN NAVAJO COUNTY, UH, FOR US TO ALL BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE ACROSS THE SAME PLATFORM.

AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE AGENCIES THAT ARE GONNA BE BENEFITING FROM THESE FUNDING, UH, ALONG WITH OUR AGENCY AS WELL.

FURTHER AREAS, INCLUDING TRIBAL AREAS THAT WILL MAKE IT, UH, POSSIBLE FOR US TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM IN THEIR REGIONS AS WELL.

OOPS.

ONE TOO FAR.

UM, THERE, WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING EIGHT MORE RADIO SITES.

UH, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK A RADIO SITE IS JUST AN ANTENNA OR A WIRE UP ON A TOWER AND, AND THERE'S, THERE'S SOME EQUIPMENT THAT MAKE IT WORK.

UM, THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO IT.

UH, ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN WE STARTED THESE PROJECTS, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WAS OPERATING OFF OF FOUR ANTENNAS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY.

THEY WERE KIND OF SPACED BETWEEN SHE HEBER, HOLBROOKE, AND WINSLOW.

AND THEIR CAPABILITIES WERE NOT THE GREATEST.

UH, AS OF TODAY, WE'RE OPERATING OFF OF 10 RADIO SITES AND THE COMMUNICATIONS HAVE IMMENSELY IMPROVED.

AND OUR OUR HOPE IS THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO EXPAND THIS, UM, OUTSIDE OF, OF OUR NORMAL COVERAGE AREA INTO, UM,

[01:00:01]

UH, WE'RE GONNA BE PURCHASING TWO CRD DEVICES.

THESE ARE PRETTY COOL LITTLE, UM, TECHNOLOGICAL BOXES.

THEY'RE BASICALLY MOBILE CELL PHONE TOWERS.

WE'VE PURCHASED TWO OF THESE IN THE PAST AND IN THE PAST YEAR I CAN SAY THAT THOSE THINGS HAVE PROBABLY BEEN DEPLOYED CLOSE TO 20 TO 30 TIMES.

WHEN WE GET CALLS FOR SERVICE, WE CAN'T CONTROL WHERE THERE'S A CRISIS OR AN EMERGENCY.

AND A LOT OF TIMES WE END UP IN AREAS WHERE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOT THE GREATEST AND THERE IS NO CELL PHONE SERVICE.

AND SO THESE MAKE IT POSSIBLE WHERE WE, WE TAKE 'EM UP, THEY'RE IN LITTLE BOXES, UH, THEY CAN BE ON BATTERIES OR GENERATORS.

WE TURN 'EM ON AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES WE HAVE A MILE WIDE CELL PHONE BUBBLE THAT ALL OF OUR TECHNOLOGY CAN OPERATE OFF OF, UH, OUT AT THESE SCENES FOR COMMAND POSTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO IT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.

WE'RE LOOKING TO GET TWO MORE OF THOSE, UM, JUST BECAUSE WE SEE THE NEED TO KIND OF STAGE THOSE AT DIFFERENT SPOTS IN THE COUNTY TO BE ABLE TO DEPLOY THEM QUICKER.

AND THEN THE NEXT, THE LAST PART OF THIS GRANT IS TO ENHANCE OUR COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH, UM, LOCATION FEATURES, UH, PART OF THE FUNDING THAT WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED HAS BEEN TO UPDATE OUR GEO VALIDATION SERVICES.

AND THIS NEXT BATCH OF FUNDING IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT, UM, THOSE MAPPING FEATURES AND ALLOW US TO IMPLEMENT THEM INTO OTHER TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS OUR RADIOS, OUR BODY CAMERAS INTO OUR MDCS, WHICH ARE OUR COMPUTERS AND OUR VEHICLES.

IT'LL GIVE DISPATCHERS THE ABILITY TO SEE WHERE OFFICERS ARE, WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE, AND ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO QUICKEST ROUTING 9 1 1 CAPABILITIES.

AND SO WHEN THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, THEY CAN LOOK AND SEE WHO'S THE NEAREST AVAILABLE UNIT AND WHAT'S THE FASTEST WAY TO GET THERE.

AND THAT THAT'LL ALSO ASSIST OUR DEPUTIES.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE GIST OF WHAT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE ENCOMPASSING.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? COMMENTS? NO.

I JUST WANNA THANK, UH, OUR SENATORS HERE, SENATOR KELLY, SENATOR SINEMA FOR THE WORK ON BEING ABLE TO DO THIS, OF THE $10 MILLION THAT WAS ALLOCATED IN ARIZONA FOR OUR COUNTY TO GET 2.3 MILLION IS, IS FANTASTIC.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, UH, COMMANDER WHIPPLE AND SHERIFF FOR THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE TO LOOK AT SAFETY AS ONE OF OUR NUMBER ONE THINGS THAT WE DO AS A COUNTY IS PROVIDE PUBLIC SAFETY.

AND SO COMMUNICATION IS RIGHT UP THERE FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN.

AND SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MASTER PLAN THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON AND THAT IT WILL SERVE US IN YEARS TO COME.

UM, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU, UM, TO LUTHER LEE FOR BEING HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND REPRESENTING MARK KELLY'S OFFICE.

WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT AND APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN HELPING THOSE COME TO FRUITION.

UM, I THINK ONE OF THE KEY THINGS IS CERTAINLY THAT YOU WERE PREPARED.

UM, AND I THINK, UH, AS A CITIZEN OF NAVAJO COUNTY, I APPRECIATE THAT AND THE PREPAREDNESS AND BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MAYBE SOME OF THE DEFICIENCIES THAT, UM, THE COUNTY HAS IN COMMUNICATION AND BEING ABLE TO BE READY FOR THOSE DOLLARS.

'CAUSE OFTENTIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS DOLLARS COME AVAILABLE AND THEN PEOPLE ARE NOT PREPARED.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE PLAN, THEY DON'T HAVE THE DATA, THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESEARCH TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT WHY THOSE DOLLARS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO SERVE OUR CITIZENS.

SO I, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'VE DONE THAT WORK TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR THAT COMMUNICATION TO COME IN HAND TO BE ABLE TO SECURE THE FUNDING TO SERVE OUR PUBLIC.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR US? JEFF? GO AHEAD.

VICE CHAIR, THANK THE CHAIR.

AND, UM, SUPERVISORS, UM, THANK YOU FOR THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT FOR, UM, SEARCHING FOR THESE GRANTS AND SECURING THE FUNDS AND ALSO GRATEFUL FOR SENATOR'S KELLY'S OFFICE.

UM, ANYTHING THAT ENHANCES THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IS VERY WELCOME.

AND I KNOW THAT, UM, MY COMMUNITY IN KTA, UM, DID GET SOME RADIOS AND THEY'RE SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR 15 RADIOS, BUT FOR A HUNDRED THAT'S AWESOME FOR ALL THIS POLE AREA AND AND BEYOND.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE SECURING THE $2.3 MILLION GRANT.

LOTS OF, UM, GRATITUDE TO

[01:05:01]

YOU.

APPRECIATE VICE CHAIR.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? UM, I'LL SAY THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE ALWAYS LOOKING AND BEING VIGILANT, LOOKING FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIPS AND LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BE ABLE TO BRING SOME ADDITIONAL MONEY IN TO ACCOMPLISH THESE TYPES OF THINGS.

SO I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT.

UM, YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT IT QUITE A BIT, IT SEEMS LIKE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AND YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF, UH, HAVING A VISION OF WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO AND THEN GOING OUT AND GETTING IT AND MAKING IT HAPPEN.

SO THANK YOU.

REALLY APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUR OFFICE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS.

THANKS TO YOU.

UM, WITH THAT CHAIR, WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MOTION.

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

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON THEN TO ITEM

[a. Consideration of award of contract #B24-06-005 Parcel Fabric to Bruce Harris & Associates, Incorporated to provide professional parcel mapping services for Parcel Fabric. ]

NUMBER SIX ON THE AGENDA AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT B 24 DASH ZERO SIX DASH ZERO FIVE PARCEL FABRIC TO BRUCE HARRIS AND ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL PARCEL MAPPING SERVICES FROM PARCEL FABRIC.

MR. DEWITT, GOOD TO SEE YOU, KEN.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.

UH, THIS HAS BEEN AN EXCITING, UH, MEETING.

UM, I HAVE TO SAY I'M GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR BOARD MEMBERS.

UM, I, I'VE BEEN DOING IT STUFF FOR SINCE 1980, JUST A FEW MINUTES.

UM, THIS IS THE BEST JOB I'VE EVER HAD.

THIS IS THE BEST ORGANIZATION I EVER WORKED FOR.

UM, THE VISION THAT WE'VE GOT AMONGST EVERYBODY, THE, THE, THE SHERIFF AND THE THINGS THAT HE JUST PRESENTED.

THERE'S, THERE'S AN IT GUY BEHIND THE CURTAIN GOING, YES.

SO JUST FYI JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW.

SO, UH, ON ON JANUARY 16TH, 2024, I MET WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF PUB OF PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING AND CODING ENFORCEMENT, SHERIFF'S OFFICE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT, RECORDERS, ASSESSORS, TREASURERS, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ELECTIONS, AND THE CLERK OF THE BOARD.

UH, THE TOPIC WAS HOW THEY SAW THE DEVELOPMENT OF GIS OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

THIS RFP IS THE RESULT OF THAT MEETING.

UH, GRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS OR GIS IS A SYSTEM THAT STORES ANALYZES AND, AND DISPLAYS DATA RELATED TO LOCATIONS ON THE EARTH'S SURFACE.

SO IT'S A MAP, RIGHT? IT TAKES DATA AND MAKES A MAP.

UH, FOR EXAMPLE, HOW HELPFUL WOULD IT BE TO SEE A HEAT MAP OF CRIMES IN THE COUNTY IF, WHEN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS SETTING UP, UH, PATROL ROUTES, WHAT ALL THE, UH, WHAT, UH, LIEUTENANT WHIPPLE WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT, QUICK, QUICKEST ROUTING.

UH, IN ORDER TO HAVE THAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MAP TO PUT IT ON.

UH, WHEN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS WANTING TO ANALYZE THE, THE SPREAD OF FLU, UM, THEY NEED A MAP.

THEY HELP TO, TO SEE WHERE ALL THOSE, THOSE HOTSPOTS ARE.

AN ELECTIONS AND RECORDER'S OFFICE WANTS TO, UH, ANALYZE VOTER TURNOUT.

THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER WAYS TO UTILIZE GIS GIVING ACCESS TO THE, UH, RESULTS OF OUR COUNTY DATA.

UH, LIKE GIVING ACCESS TO RESULTS OF OUR COUNTY DATA TO THE CITIZENS WHEN THEY MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR PROPERTY.

UH, THE COUNTY ITSELF WILL BECOME MORE DATA-DRIVEN IN ITS, UH, DECISIONS.

HOWEVER, UH, IN ORDER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, WE NEED TO HAVE A GOOD BASE LAYER, UH, OR WHAT WE'VE REFERRED TO AS A PARCEL FABRIC.

UM, OUR PARCEL FABRIC NEEDS WORK.

UH, THIS RFP WILL GIVE US A GOOD START ON AN ACCURATE LAYER THAT OUR GIS TEAM WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN.

SO BEFORE YOU, TODAY'S CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF CONTRACT, UH, NUMBER B 24 DASH OH SIX DASH OH FIVE PARCEL FABRIC TO BRUCE HARRIS AND ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL MAPPING SERVICES FOR THE PARCEL FABRIC.

UH, THIS CONTRACT WILL PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL PARCEL MAPPING, UH, SERVICES TO THE PARCEL FABRIC.

UH, SEAL PROPOSALS WERE RECEIVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, UM, UH, ON JULY 17TH.

UH, THE PROPOSAL WAS PUBLICLY OPENED.

READ ALOUD, THREE PROPOSALS RECEIVED AND EVALUATED PER THE CRITERIA SET FORTH IN, UH, REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

UH, THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE IS REC IS RECOMMENDING AWARD OF CONTRACT B 24 DASH OH SIX OH DASH OH FIVE PARCEL FABRIC TO BRUCE HARRISON ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? HEARING CHAIRMAN? YES, GO AHEAD.

UM, I THINK THIS FALLS ALONG THE SAME LINE, LINE OF, UM, BEING PREPARED AND PROACTIVE.

UM, I, I

[01:10:01]

CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT AND I KNOW AS AN ORGANIZATION WE APPRECIATE THAT AND THINKING ABOUT, UM, TECHNOLOGY IS EVER CHANGING AND THE IMPACT OF HOW THAT IMPACTS OUR ORGANIZATION IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR.

AND SO I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO IN HELPING US TO DO THAT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WITH THAT, I MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL OR MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

I'LL SECOND WE MOTION AND A SECOND FOR APPROVAL.

OPPOSED? VOTE NAY.

TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PUBLIC HEARING.

THIS LIQUOR LICENSE IS FOR A NEW 0 1 2 RESTAURANT LICENSE.

THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, TREASURER'S OFFICE, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT HAVE ALL GIVEN THEIR APPROVALS AND IT HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THE 20 DAYS AS REQUIRED.

UM, WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE APPLICANT'S HERE OR NOT THE APPLICANT IS HERE.

ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO NO.

HOPEFULLY YOU APPROVE.

WE'RE GONNA OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NO.

SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, UM, AND OPEN UP THE COMMENTS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? I DON'T HAVE ANY DIS I DON'T HAVE ANY DISCUSSION CHAIR.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS AS PRESENTED.

PERFECT.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND.

UH, ANY MORE DISCUSSIONS? OKAY.

NONE.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, PUBLIC FIDUCIARY CONSIDERATION OF IMPOSING A LIEN ON THE REAL PROPERTY OF JOHN PHILLIP.

[a. Consideration of imposing a lien on the real property of John Phillip Borne, located in Navajo County, in the amount of $1,463.40, to recover the costs to the County associated with the expenses of his indigent burial.]

BORN, LOCATED IN NAVAJO COUNTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,463 AND 40 CENTS TO RECOVER THE COST OF COUNTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXPENSE OF HIS INDEN, UH, HIS BURIAL PAM.

SO UNDER THE STATUTES, UM, THE PUBLIC FIDUCIARY IS ALLOWED TO PLACE A LIEN ON A PROPERTY IN ORDER TO RECOVER COSTS.

UH, MOST OF OUR INOGEN BURIALS DON'T HAVE REAL PROPERTY, BUT IN THIS CASE, HE DID.

UH, THE FAMILY, UM, DECLINED TO PAY FOR THE, TO REIMBURSE THE COUNTY FOR THE CREMATION COSTS THAT WE PAID TO THE MORTUARY TO DO THE CREMATION OR THE SHIPPING OF THE CREMAINS OR OUR COST INVOLVED IN, UM, TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

SO, UM, WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF BEING ABLE TO PLACE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY.

SO IF AND WHEN IT IS SOLD THAT WE CAN RECOUP THE COST TO REPAY THE TAXPAYERS FOR THE COST OF THE BARRIER FOR THE CREMATION, OUR COST AND THE SHIPPING COSTS TO SHIP THE CREMATES BACK TO BACK EAST.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? I'LL MAKE A COMMENT AND I'LL TELL YOU THANK YOU TO, UM, THE TEAM THAT YOU GUYS HAVE THERE.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T EASY.

I KNOW THIS IS A DELICATE SITUATION AND SOMETIMES, UM, THAT'S THE ROLE OF YOUR OFFICE WHERE YOU GUYS ARE HELPING TO, UM, AFTERLIFE, UM, DEAL WITH SOME THINGS THAT SOMETIMES THERE'S FAMILY TO DEAL WITH IT, SOMETIMES THERE'S NOT.

UM, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS IN THIS CASE, AND WHILE THE COUNTY TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING, WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THAT, UH, YOU'RE JUST LOOKING TO PLACE A LIEN TO RECOUP THE MONEY THAT WAS SPENT ON THAT.

SO THE TAXPAYERS ARE NOT THAT MONEY.

CORRECT.

WELL, THANK YOU.

ANY DISCUSSION FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? HEARING NONE.

CHAIR TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION CHAIRMAN, A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

UH, REMOVING TRACKS A, B, AND C FROM THIS SUBDIVISION, REMOVING PEDESTRIAN EQUESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENTS FROM LOTS 9, 10, 26, AND 27, ELIMINATING TRACK D AND ALLOWING IT TO BE COMBINED INTO THOSE ADJACENT LOTS NOTED THERE.

UM, A SMALL PORTION WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE PLAT AND COMBINED INTO THAT PARCEL NUMBER NOTED, WHICH IS A PARCEL OWNED BY THE APPLICANT JUST DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SUBDIVISION.

UM, THERE WOULD ALSO BE A CHANGING OF WATER LINE EASEMENT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT NECESSARY BETWEEN LOTS 36 AND 27 AND CHANGING THAT INTO A DRAINAGE EASEMENT, WHICH ALLOWS ANOTHER ONE TO BE REMOVED FROM LOT 36.

UH, ADJUSTING THE LOT LINES BETWEEN 35 AND 36 WITH THE SAME OWNER ELIMINATING TRACK D AND COMBINING THAT INTO LOT 31 AND THEN CREATING TRACK F, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE ROADWAYS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION.

I KNOW THAT'S QUITE A BIT.

UM, SO I'M GONNA TRY TO VISUALLY BREAK THESE DOWN ITEM BY ITEM SO THAT THE BOARD CAN, UH, ACTUALLY VISUALIZE HERE.

UM, SO AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, I'VE KIND OF CIRCLED THIS AREA THAT IS THE SUBDIVISION.

UH, IT'S WITHIN THE PINEDALE AREA, THE COBBLE CREEK SUBDIVISION .

AND, UM, PLEASE IGNORE THE HIGHLIGHTED, UH, PARCEL.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO PULL IN HERE, BUT THIS GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT CLOSER UP OF THE AERIAL OF THIS SUBDIVISION ITSELF.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PLAT.

I'M NOT GONNA STRAIN EVERYONE'S EYES FOR ALL OF THESE.

WE DO HAVE THESE A LOT MORE ZOOMED IN FOR EACH OF THE REQUESTS THAT WE HAVE HERE, BUT JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED.

YOU CAN SEE LIKE TRACKS A, B, AND C THERE.

UM, JUST FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE BOARD WHEN IT COMES TO THESE PLATS, THIS IS NOT, UH, UPWARDS FACING NORTH.

UM, NORTH IS GOING TO THE, TO THE RIGHT IN THIS CASE HERE.

SO, UM, KINDA HAVE TO SHIFT IT IF YOU'RE TRYING TO VIEW IT FROM ITS FULL PERSPECTIVE.

BUT THIS IS HOW THEY WENT THROUGH AND PLATTED THESE.

THIS IS THE FULL VIEW OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED WITH THE AMENDED FINAL PLAT FOR COBBLE CREEK.

AND NOW WE'LL GET INTO THESE AREAS HERE.

SO THE FIRST ITEM IS THE REMOVAL OF TRACKS A, B, AND C.

UH, YOU CAN SEE A, B AND C HERE.

AS FAR AS THE REMOVAL, THESE WERE INITIALLY PUT IN, UH, INTO THE SUBDIVISION FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF COMMUNITY USAGES.

UM, THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN USED FOR THOSE PURPOSES AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

UM, THE APPLICANT IS ASKED TO REMOVE THESE, UH, JUST OF NOTE FOR THE BOARD, BECAUSE EVEN IF THESE WERE REMOVED, THEY WOULD RETAIN THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT OWNERSHIP, UM, WHICH MEANS THAT EITHER A SITE PLAN REVIEW OR A ZONE CHANGE WOULD'VE TO OCCUR IN ORDER FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR ON THESE PARCELS IN THE FUTURE.

UM, SO THERE WOULD STILL BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT WHATEVER WAS DEVELOPED IN THIS AREA IS HARMONIOUS WITH THE SUBDIVISION, DESPITE THEM NOT HAVING USES PARTICULAR TO THE SUBDIVISION ITSELF.

AND THIS IS CURRENTLY STILL OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVIDED, THOSE TRACKS THERE.

THE NEXT IS REMOVING PEDESTRIAN EQUESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENTS BETWEEN 26 AND 27 AND NINE AND 10.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP THERE, THERE'S THE PEDESTRIAN EQUESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT THAT TIES INTO THE FOREST SERVICE.

UM, WE TYPICALLY DON'T ENCOURAGE THOSE TYPES OF EASEMENT TO THE FOREST SERVICE ANYMORE, UH, JUST BECAUSE THERE NEEDS TO BE PERMISSION FROM THE FOREST SERVICE TO ACCESS.

AND AT ANY POINT IN TIME THOSE COULD BE CLOSED OFF FROM THE FOREST.

UM, SO WE, WE TRY TO STICK TO ONLY APPROVED FOREST SERVICE ENTRANCES WITH PLATS THAT WE APPROVE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

THIS IS SHOWING YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITHOUT THOSE EASEMENTS IN PLACE THERE.

UM, SO JUST REMOVING THAT BETWEEN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTIES.

REALLY SERVE ANY FUNCTION AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

THE NEXT IS THE REMOVAL OF TRACK D.

UM, A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE A LOT WORKING HERE, BUT IF YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WHERE THAT ORIGINAL PARCEL LINE IS, UM, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THAT AND THE BOUNDARY OF THE SUBDIVISION IS THIS ORIGINAL TRACK D.

SO THE SUBDIVIDED IS PROPOSING, UM, TO GET RID OF THAT TRACK AND THEN COMBINE ALL OF THAT INTO THE ADJACENT PARCELS THERE, JUST GRANTING THEM MORE LAND AS THEY'VE NOTED THAT IT, IT HAS NOT BEEN UTILIZED FOR ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE.

UH, THERE'S BEEN NO UTILIZATION WHATSOEVER OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS.

ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS THE ORIGINAL WATERLINE AND DRAINAGE EASEMENTS.

HERE YOU CAN SEE BETWEEN 36 AND 37 IS THAT WATERLINE EASEMENT.

AND THEN ON THE RIGHT, OR SORRY, LEFT HAND SIDE, THERE'S THE 15 FOOT DRAINAGE EASEMENT ON PARCEL 36.

THAT WATERLINE EASEMENT IS NOT BEING UTILIZED.

THEY'VE NOTED THAT THERE IS SOME NATURAL DRAINAGE THERE WHERE IT WOULD BE MORE WELL SUITED IN THAT AREA.

AND THAT THE, THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT ON 36, UH, IT DOESN'T

[01:20:01]

SO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS TRY TO CHANGE THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT HERE AND PUT THAT IN PLACE OF THE WATER LINE.

AND THEN I BELIEVE MY NEXT PARCEL WILL SHOW YOU WHERE THE, SO THIS IS TO COVER THE, THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT AS WELL.

YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL LOT LINES THAT EXIST HERE, AND NOW YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED LOTS, 36, 37.

UM, YEAH, THE NEXT ONE WAS THE ADDING INGRESS EGRESS UTILITY TO, UH, LOT 35 TO 24 FOOT.

THIS CONNECTS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVIDED PROPERTY.

THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE LEGAL ACCESS FOR THE, THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WITH THIS, WITH THAT CHANGE.

AND THEN THE NEXT IS ELIMINATING TRACT E.

SO WHERE YOU SEE THE PARCEL LINE FOR 31 HERE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, UM, BASICALLY FROM WHERE THAT ARROW IS POINTING TO WHERE THERE'S THE, THE LINE WITH A FEW DOTS IN IT THAT IS TRACKED E THAT WAS ALSO USED FOR PEDESTRIAN EQUESTRIAN, UH, POTENTIAL CONNECTION TO THE FOREST SERVICE.

AND THEY'RE LOOKING JUST TO ELIMINATE THAT AND GIVE THAT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER THERE WITH, UH, LOT 31 TO ENLARGE THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THEN THE CREATING OF TRACK THEFT.

UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE IT WAS SO LARGE, I CAN'T SHOW YOU WITHOUT JUST SHOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE MAKING THE ROADWAYS AND THE TRACK F UH, THAT WOULD NOT CHANGE ANY LIKE LEGAL STATUS AS FAR AS THE ROADWAYS OUT THERE.

THEY'RE JUST LOOKING TO CLARIFY THAT THAT'S A TRACK.

UM, JUST TO KIND OF CLOSE THIS OUT, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS REVIEWED THIS.

WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS FINAL PLAT AMENDMENT.

UH, ALL OF THESE CHANGES ARE, UH, IN LINE WITH OUR CURRENT REVIEW STANDARDS OR THEIR ITEMS THAT, UH, SERVE TO ENHANCE THE, THE PROPERTIES OF THOSE WITHIN THIS SUBDIVISION.

UH, WE, WE CAN'T SEE ANY REAL NEGATIVE TO THESE AS OF TODAY.

UM, STAFF HAS RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR NOR AGAINST ON THIS PROPOSAL, AND WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU MIGHT HAVE THEM.

AS IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING, WE'LL MOVE.

UM, OH ACTUALLY, IS THE APPLICANT HERE? I'M WANTING TO SPEAK, YES.

MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR, UH, CONSIDERING THIS.

I REALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT TO SAY.

HE COVERED IT VERY WELL, BUT IT JUST WILL CLEAN UP A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT'S BEEN IN THE AREA AND SO WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR APPROVAL.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

PERFECT.

MUCH APPRECIATED.

ALRIGHT, WE ARE NOW GONNA OPEN IT UP TO, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE DO HAVE ONE REQUEST TO SPEAK.

OH, THAT WAS, OKAY.

SO THAT WAS LESTER PIERCE.

SO YOU'RE SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF, IF I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY? YES, VERY MUCH.

OKAY, PERFECT.

SO DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, SO WE HAVE ONE SPEAKING IN FAVOR.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, UM, COME BACK.

ANY, UH, FURTHER DISCUSSION, ANYTHING THE STAFF OR THE APPLICANT WANTS TO ADD BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT IT AS A BOARD.

I'M SORRY.

UM, OPEN IT UP FOR THE BOARD FOR DISCUSSION.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? I DON'T HAVE ANY, UH, QUESTIONS.

REALLY.

I JUST APPRECIATE THE TRACKS A, B, AND C IN ORDER FOR THEM TO HAVE ANY CHANGES IN THE FUTURE THAT WE WOULD HAVE A OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THAT SO THAT IT KEEPS THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROJECT.

APPRECIATE THE THOROUGHNESS OF THIS.

AND, UH, WITH THAT, I, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE AS PRESENTED TODAY THROUGH A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? OKAY, SOMEONE CALL FOR A VOTE.

MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

TO ITEM B, PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 40 DASH 2024 APPROVING OR DENYING REQUEST BY SBA COMMUNICATIONS FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF 120 FOOT, UH, MULTI-CARRIER MONOPOLE COMMUNICATION TOWER AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES LOCATED EAST OF SNOWFLAKE.

WE'LL MOVE ON

[b. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration and possible adoption of Resolution Number 40-2024, approving/denying a request by SBA Communications for a Special Use Permit to allow for the construction and operation of a 120’ multi-carrier, monopole communication tower and associated facilities, located east of Snowflake. ]

CODY, MR. CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR SUPERVISORS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS ITEM AS WELL.

SEE IF I CAN GET IT GOING.

I'M JUST SWITCHING IT OUT.

YOU'RE ALL GOOD.

ALRIGHT.

UH, SO AS FAR AS THE PROJECT SUMMARY FOR THIS, THIS IS LOCATED IN

[01:25:01]

THE, UH, THE AREA EAST OF SNOWFLAKE ON PARCEL 3 0 3 9 3 DASH 0 0 3.

IT IS A PARCEL THAT'S 51.16 ACRES IN SIZE.

UM, THERE'S A MUCH SMALLER LEASE AREA THAT I'LL SHOW YOU THAT'S ENCAPSULATED WITH THIS PARCEL HERE ON THE PORTION IN WHICH THIS TOWER IS PROPOSED.

IT IS COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL.

IT IS OWNED BY WILLIS RANCH, LLC.

AND THEN AS FAR AS THE COMPONENTS PROPOSED, THERE'S UH, ONE 120 FOOT MONOPOLE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TOWER AS WELL AS ASSOCIATED FACILITIES.

THIS IS LOCATED AT LEAST 191 FEET FROM ALL PROPERTY BOUNDARIES.

UM, BECAUSE THIS IS COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND NOT AN APPLIED SUBDIVISION, IT IS SUBJECT TO THE ONE FOOT TO ONE FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

SO THAT DOES EXCEED THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

IT WOULD BE LOCATED, UH, AS I'VE MENTIONED, IN A 100 BY 100 FOOT LEASE AREA.

SO A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THIS PARCEL.

AND THEY'VE PROPOSED THAT THE TOWER BE SURROUNDED BY EIGHT FOOT CHAIN LINK FENCE.

HERE'S YOUR VICINITY MAP THAT SHOWS THE SITE.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY SIX MILES TO THE EAST OF THE, THE CENTER OF SNOWFLAKE MORE OR LESS.

AND THEN THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SITE.

UM, PLEASE EXCUSE SOME OF THE FORMATTING.

SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ALWAYS TRANSLATE TO AGENDA QUICK.

UM, HERE'S THE SITE PLAN.

I WILL GIVE YOU A, A ZOOMED IN VIEW HERE OF THE SITE ITSELF, BUT THIS IS SHOWING GENERALLY THAT THAT IS GONNA BE IN THE SOUTHWEST PORTION AS PROPOSED.

HERE IS THE ZOOMED IN PORTION SHOWING YOU THE ACTUAL COMPLEX WITHIN THE, THE LEASE AREA AS PROPOSED.

THIS IS AN ELEVATION SHOWING THE 120 FOOT MONOPOLE, UH, SHOWING THE TYPICAL DESIGN THAT YOU WOULD SEE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROPOSAL.

AND HERE'S A PHOTO SIMULATION, UH, THIS ONE FROM THE, THE ROAD NEARBY.

YES, APOLOGIES.

SO AS FAR AS THIS CASE, AS OF WHEN WE PUT IN THIS REPORT, WHICH IS ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WITH WHERE THE DEADLINES SIT, THERE WERE 14 PUBLIC COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION OF THIS PROPOSAL.

UM, SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF COMMENTS RECEIVED.

I KNOW MELISSA HAS DONE A, A GREAT JOB OF PACKAGING THOSE AND GETTING THOSE OVER TO THE SUPERVISORS.

UM, I'LL TRY TO KEEP MY, MY SUMMARY LIMITED ON THIS 'CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS, UH, AND THEY CAN EXPAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THEIR ITEMS. UH, BUT JUST KIND OF WANTED TO COVER THE, THE THREE MAJOR TALKING POINTS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT AS STAFF HERE.

UM, THE FIRST IS CONCERNS OVER HEALTH.

UM, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH HEALTH CONDITIONS WITHIN THIS AREA.

UM, SO THERE'S CONCERNS OVER ADJACENCY TO BOTH THEIR HOMES AND THE MAILBOXES THAT THEY UTILIZE ALONG THIS ROADWAY.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT THE, THE COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVIEW FOR HEALTH DUE TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996.

THAT POWER IS SOLELY VESTED WITH THE FCC.

UM, THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN CONCERNS OVER THE COMPLETENESS OF THIS PACKAGE OR WHETHER THE JUSTIFICATION, UH, IS COMPLETE ENOUGH TO VALIDATE THIS TOWER.

UM, THE STAFF ISN'T REALLY HERE TO DEBATE THE COMPLETENESS OF THE PACKAGE.

IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, BUT IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FURTHER INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO THIS, THAT IS FULLY WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW.

AND THEN MOST RECENTLY, THERE ARE QUITE A BIT OF DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL EFFECT OF PROPERTY VALUES, UM, THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF.

THAT'S NOT A CONSIDERATION WE MAKE, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE BOARD MAY HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO CONSIDER THAT WITH THIS CASE.

WITH THAT, UM, DUE TO THE PURVIEW THAT STAFF HAS OVER THIS PERMIT, WE HAVE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THESE 13 CONDITIONS.

WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE WITH THE PRESENTATION AS WELL.

OKAY, REAL QUICK, CODY, UH, I HEARD THREE THINGS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT.

YOU, UH, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE HEALTH ASPECT OF IT AND DID A GOOD JOB OF OUTLINING WHILE SOMETHING CERTAINLY WE'RE SYMPATHETIC TO THE REALITY IS THAT THAT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WHAT THIS BOARD DOES, THERE'S A DIFFERENT, THERE'S A DIFFERENT GOVERNING GROUP THAT DEALS WITH THAT, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.

THAT'S THE, THE FCC, UH, THROUGH THAT ACT IS THE ONES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSIDERING ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND HEALTH EFFECTS RELATED TO RADIO FREQUENCIES FROM CELL TOWERS.

SO THE, THEY'RE THE ONES IN CHARGE OF THAT.

BUT AS FAR AS, THERE WAS ONE THAT I MISSED AND THAT'S WHAT I WANNA MAKE SURE I GET THE, YOU TALKED ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES AND THERE'S ONE I MISSED.

THE, THE OTHER CONCERN WE HAD HAD WAS REGARDING THE COMPLETENESS OF THE APPLICATION.

THIS IS AN ACCEPTED APPLICATION THAT WAS REVIEWED.

HOWEVER, IF THE BOARD FEELS THAT THEY NEED MORE INFORMATION AS FAR AS JUSTIFICATION OR AS FAR AS PHOTO SIMULATIONS, IT'S FULLY WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE BOARD TO REQUEST THAT INFORMATION OF THE APPLICANT.

UM, SO JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THERE THAT THE, THE BOARD, IF THEY ARE CONCERNED, HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY AS WELL.

I'M JUST MAKING SOME NOTES.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UH, BOARD MEMBERS? MY NAME IS RAJ DERY AND I'M WORKING WITH, UH, SBA COMMUNICATIONS.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE AND WISHING TO SPEAK CHAIR WHITING, VICE CHAIR,

[01:30:01]

UM, WE ARE PROPOSING A SITE AND UH, THE TENANT ON THE SITE WILL BE, UH, VERIZON WIRELESS, UH, STAFF HAS KIND OF GONE OVER EVERYTHING.

I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A PROPOSAL JUST TO KIND OF HIT ON A FEW OF THE, UH, POINTS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP REGARDING THE, UH, OPPOSITION.

UM, AS STAFF MENTIONED, THERE ARE A GOOD AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OPPOSED TO THE SITE.

UH, IT'S PRIMARILY A GROUP OF FOLKS WHO LIVE ABOUT TWO TO THREE MILES AWAY.

SO I KIND OF WANTED TO GO INTO WHAT OPTIONS WE HAD AND, AND WHY WE'RE AT THIS LOCATION, WHY WE NEED TO BE HERE, AND, UH, JUST GET BACK TO THE POINT OF WHAT WE CAN DO AS FAR AS, UH, SHIFTING A LITTLE BIT.

BUT, UH, MELISSA IS IT OKAY, THERE IT IS ALREADY.

IS THERE A POINTER ON THIS? A LASER? THERE IS.

DOES IT WORK ON THAT TV IF I DO POINT AT IT? NO, IT WORKS.

ALRIGHT, I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF I'M GOING THAT WAY.

SO THIS IS JUST GENERAL INFORMATION, AGAIN, 120 FOOT POLE, LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT SBA.

UH, SBA IS LOCATED OUT OF, UH, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, UH, DOES SITES THROUGHOUT THE STATES AND IN FACT QUITE A FEW IN ARIZONA.

UM, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE GOING IN APACHE COUNTY RIGHT NOW, AND, UH, A COUPLE THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT IN NAVO COUNTY.

BUT, UH, THIS IS, I BELIEVE THE ONLY ACTIVE ONE IN THE COUNTY AT THE MOMENT.

UH, THERE'S A TOTAL OF 35,000 OF THEM ACROSS THE WORLD, BUT, UH, MOST OF THEM ARE IN THE STATES.

STEPH LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS CR 300 IN THIS ZONE.

SO THERE'S BASICALLY A STRIP OF COMMERCIAL ALONG CONCHO HIGHWAY, AND THAT'S PART OF THE REASON THAT WE'RE STAYING CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY AS WE ARE.

UM, THIS IS JUST A GENERAL OVERVIEW.

PART OF THE REASON I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS WAS BECAUSE THIS ACTUALLY ALSO SHOWS THE EXISTING AND PROPOSED SITES FOR VERIZON WIRELESS IN THE AREA.

UM, THE TWO SITES IN GREEN ON THE LEFT THERE, A Z THREE SNOWFLAKE IS A LARGE GUIDE TOWER, WHICH IS NORTH OF SNOWFLAKE.

UM, YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT AS YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE, UH, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT, UM, WHEN YOU GET INTO TOWN ITSELF, ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF SNOWFLAKE IS A SITE 83 SPRUCE.

IT'S ABOUT A 70 FOOT TALL POLE.

UM, THOSE TWO POLES ARE THE TWO EXISTING SITES IN THE AREA RIGHT NOW.

OVER ON THE FAR RIGHT IS AZ THREE CONCHO HIGHWAY.

THAT IS OVER ON THE END OF THAT LITTLE MESA.

IT'S ACTUALLY NEXT TO A CELL ONE TOWER.

UH, THIS BOARD ACTUALLY APPROVED VERIZON TO BUILD A SITE THERE, AND I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE GETTING BUILT THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT.

UM, THE WHOLE IDEA HERE IS THAT THERE'S AN OVERALL PLAN.

THERE'S THE TWO EXISTING SITES IN GREEN.

THERE'S THE SITE ON THE RIGHT FOR AZ THREE CONCHO HIGHWAY, AND THEN THERE WILL BE TWO FUTURE SITES.

THIS ONE WHITE ANTELOPE, WHICH IS BEING PROPOSED RIGHT NOW, IS THE ONE WITH THE RED ARROW AND THE OTHER ONE IT SAYS EXISTING POLE.

THERE'S ACTUALLY A, UH, AN EXISTING MONOPOLE DOWN TO THE SOUTHWEST.

SO A LOT OF THE REASON FOR WHY WE'RE GOING IN THIS AREA NEAR THIS INTERSECTION OF WHITE ANTELOPE AND CONCHO HIGHWAY IS, AS YOU CAN KINDA SEE IT, IT'S SPACED OUT FAIRLY EVENLY AMONGST THE OTHER SITES.

AND I HAVE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS THAT I CAN GET TO WHEN I HAVE A COVERAGE MAP THAT I'LL BRING UP HERE IN A BIT.

SO HERE'S THE CURRENT COVERAGE.

SO AGAIN, YOU SEE THOSE TWO SITES THAT ARE HAVE GREEN AROUND THEM, THOSE ARE THE TWO ON AIR SITES.

THE SITE WE ARE PROPOSING IS OVER ON THE EDGE WHERE IT, UH, LET ME SEE HERE, RED IF YOU WANT TO TURN AROUND.

IT'S THIS RIGHT HERE ON THE EDGE OF THE CURRENT COVERAGE AREA.

SO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, YOU SEE GREEN COLOR, THAT'S FOUR OR FIVE BARS.

BLUE PURPLE IS THREE, AND RED IS ONE OR TWO BARS.

WHEN YOU GET TO THIS AREA HERE, WE START TO GET INTO AN AREA WHERE THERE'S NO COVERAGE.

I MEAN, I WAS SITTING AT THE PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH I HELD ON SITE, UM, BY THE MAILBOXES.

AND UNLESS THE WIND WAS BLOWING RIGHT, I COULDN'T SEND A TEXT MESSAGE OUT.

UH, WE CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE DATA AND I'M SURE SOME PEOPLE'S PHONES PROBABLY DO WORK A LITTLE BETTER THERE, BUT THERE'S MOST DEFINITELY A NEED FOR COVERAGE IN THIS AREA.

AND THIS IS PART OF VERIZON'S OVERALL PLAN.

THEY SIMPLY ENGAGED SBA TO TO PLACE A SITE IN THIS AREA.

AND THEN SBA IS COMING IN FRONT OF YOU PROPOSING A SITE THAT MEETS THE STANDARDS OF THE ORDINANCE AND REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR A MULTI-CARRIER SITE.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE BEFORE WHEN YOU TURN THE SITE ON, YOU SEE GREEN AGAIN, FOUR, FIVE BARS, BLUES THREE AND RED IS ONE OR TWO.

IT REACHES SEVERAL MILES TO THE NORTH, A COUPLE MILES TO THE EAST, A COUPLE MILES TO THE WEST.

AND THEN AS YOU GET FURTHER EAST, YOU CAN SEE THAT MESA IS ACTUALLY PURPLE RIGHT THERE.

ONCE THAT SITE GETS TURNED ON AT THE TIP OF THE MESA HERE, THAT'LL FILL THIS AREA AND ACTUALLY GO ALL THE WAY EAST.

THEN WE HAVE A FUTURE SITE, WHICH ACTUALLY ISN'T IN THIS COUNTY, IT'S IN APACHE, BUT IT'S GONNA BE LOCATED RIGHT IN THIS AREA TO BASICALLY COVER THE ENTIRETY OF THAT ROUTE.

SO THAT THAT IS THE PLAN.

AND SBA IS ACTUALLY DEVELOPING THAT SITE FOR VERIZON AS WELL.

BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY PART OF AN OVERALL PLAN TO PROVIDE COVERAGE.

I MEANS IT'S A VERY WELL TRAVELED CORRIDOR THROUGH OUR HOMES IN THE AREA, BUT PRIMARILY IT'S IT'S TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THE AREA.

I MEAN THE, THE SHERIFF WAS SPEAKING BEFORE HAVING IMPROVED COVERAGE FOR RESIDENTS AND FOR PUBLIC SAFETY IS OF GREAT VALUE ALONG ANY OF THESE CORRIDORS OR OUT IN SOME OF THESE HOMES WHERE THERE MAY NOT BE

[01:35:01]

OTHER OPTIONS TO CONTACT POLICE, FIRE SAFETY OR JUST YOUR FAMILY.

LET'S SEE.

AND NOW THE BUTTON'S NOT WORKING.

THERE WE GO.

SO ORIGINALLY WE HAD PROPOSED THIS AND THIS IS WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO STAFF AND ALSO WHAT WENT IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

UH, WE WERE PLANNING ON PUTTING THE POLL GENERALLY IN THE CENTER OF THE 100 BY 100 FOOT AREA.

UM, AT THE LAST MEETING THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION REGARDING, YOU KNOW, CAN WE MOVE THIS SITE? AND NOT JUST A FEW FEET, BUT HEY, COULD WE MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT PROPERTY? AND AT THE TIME I EXPLAINED AND, AND EVEN AFTERWARD, I TALKED TO ONE OF THE FOLKS WHO'S KIND OF BEEN COORDINATING, UH, WITH THE FOLKS WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THE SITE REGARDING WHY THIS LOCATION.

UM, AGAIN, WE'RE WITHIN THAT COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ALONG CONCHO HIGHWAY.

SO THAT DOES ALLOW THAT THE SITE CAN BE, UH, HIGHER.

YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, WE'D BE LOOKING AT AN 80 FOOT POLE BASED ON YOUR ORDINANCE STANDARDS.

THE ENGINEERS ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR THIS LOCATION AS PART OF THAT OVERALL PLAN.

SO WE WENT OUT, WE LOOKED, THERE'S STATE LAND TO THE WEST, THERE'S STATE LAND TO THE SOUTHWEST.

THAT'S NOT PARTICULARLY VIABLE.

THE TWO BEST OPTIONS ARE EITHER THIS PARCEL OR THE PARCELS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WE ENDED UP GOING WITH THIS PARCEL BECAUSE IT'S IN A LOCATION THAT'S GOOD, THE ZONING IS GOOD.

THERE'S SOME SUBDIVIDED PARCELS TO THE SOUTH.

SO THERE'S SOME SMALLER PARCELS.

WE'RE, WE'RE ON A LOCATION ON A 50 PLUS ACRE PARCEL AT A FAIRLY BUSY INTERSECTION THAT MEETS THE CODE STANDARDS.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE LOOKED AT, HEY, WELL WHAT IF WE WENT, THE OWNERS HERE, WILLIS RANCH OWNS PROPERTY THAT IS SOUTH ABOUT, I THINK ABOUT HALF A MILE.

UM, THE ISSUE THERE AGAIN BECOMES IF WE WENT TO THAT SPOT, FIRST OFF THERE'S THE DISTANCE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE, THE HEIGHT OF THE POLE CAN'T EVEN BE AS WE'RE PROPOSING HERE.

AND THE COVERAGE AREA ENDS UP BEING A LOT LESS, ENDS UP LEADING TO NEEDING ANOTHER SITE IN THE FUTURE.

AND THE SITE IS ALSO LESS VIABLE FOR CO-LOCATION.

SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE LOCATION THAT MEETS THE CODE STANDARDS.

WE'RE IN A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR OR COMMERCIALLY ZONED CORRIDOR.

UH, IT'S THE LOCATION THAT IS NEEDED.

AND THERE WAS ALSO SOME DISCUSSION, HEY, WHY THIS LOCATION ON THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL? SO IF YOU LIKE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA, THE AREA OVER TO THE EAST, I'M SORRY, HERE, I THINK I MAY HAVE A VIEW I CAN SHOW YOU, BUT I'LL JUST GO BACK TO THE LAST ONE.

THE AREA OVER TO THE EAST HAS HOMES AND THAT, UH, PHOTO SIMULATION YOU SAW EARLIER IS ACTUALLY FROM THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THE NEAREST HOUSE.

IT'S ABOUT 2200 FEET AWAY TO THE NEAREST HOME.

THAT THAT'S PART OF THE REASON THIS SITE IS IDEAL.

I MEAN, 2200 FEET FROM ANY HOUSES IS, IS PRETTY HARD TO ACHIEVE, UM, ESPECIALLY ALONG A MAIN ROADWAY.

SO THERE HAD BEEN SOME SUGGESTION, WELL THERE'S CONCERN ABOUT US BEING NEAR THE MAILBOXES AS WELL.

MANY OF THE FOLKS WHO UH, HAVE SENSITIVITY TO RF ENERGY ARE INDICATING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE CONCERNED AT THEIR HOMES.

THERE'S NOT MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, THAT'S SEVERAL MILES AWAY.

THIS SITE WILL BARELY EVEN COVER TO THOSE HOMES.

NOW THE MAILBOXES ARE JUST ACROSS THE STREET.

THEY'RE MAY BE TWO, 300 FEET AWAY.

SO THEY HAD TALKED ABOUT, HEY, CAN YOU SHIFT THE LEASE AREA? WELL, IF WE GO JUST TO THE EAST OF WHERE WE'RE AT, THERE'S ACTUALLY A WASH THAT GOES THROUGH THERE.

SO PART OF THE REASON WE STAYED RIGHT IN THIS SPOT WAS TO AVOID BEING THAT WASH.

IF WE GO FURTHER EAST, IT ACTUALLY DOES GO UPHILL, BUT WE START GETTING CLOSER TO HOMES.

AND WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO AVOID IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS BEING NEAR SOMEONE'S HOME.

I MEAN, WE ARE, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID DOING.

SO WE'RE OVER HERE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY IN THE AREA THAT WAS REQUESTED BY ENGINEERING MEETS THE CODE, CODE STANDARDS.

AND WE DID FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, THE MAILBOXES ARE THERE.

WHAT WE CAN PROPOSE IS TO KEEP THE LEASE AREA WHERE IT IS AND WE CAN SHIFT THE POLE 25 FEET.

I KNOW IT'S NOT A LOT, BUT WE COULD MOVE THE POLE 25 FEET WITHIN THE COMPOUNDS TO AT LEAST GET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER AWAY FROM THOSE MAILBOXES.

IF, IF THAT IS STILL A CONCERN.

I MEAN, HERE'S THE CURRENT LAYOUT THAT'S PROPOSED AND IT WOULD BE SHIFTING OVER TO GOING TO THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THAT COMPOUND.

SO THE POLE WOULD BE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER.

IT IT'S AN ADDITIONAL 25 FEET.

I MEAN IT'S 10% FURTHER AWAY, BUT YOU CAN'T SHIFT THE COMPOUND 'CAUSE THERE'S A WASH.

AND AGAIN, THIS, THIS SITE MEETS THE CODE STANDARDS AS IT'S SET UP.

JUST A BASIC BIT OF INFORMATION REGARDING EVERYTHING THAT'S HANDLED BY THE FCC.

SO EACH OF THESE LEVELS ARE THE FCC LICENSED LEVELS, THE TWO THAT ARE CIRCLED THERE.

UH, THE ONE ON THE LEFT IS BASICALLY FOR CELL PHONES.

THOSE ARE ALLOWED EXPOSURE LEVELS FOR THE FCC AND MOST SITES ARE USUALLY ABOUT 1000TH OF THE ALLOWED EXPOSURE LEVEL.

UM, VERIZON IS THE TENANT, SO THEY HAVE AN FCC LICENSE.

UH, SBA REQUIRES THEM TO MAINTAIN THAT FCC LICENSE.

[01:40:01]

AND IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES WITH VERIZON OR ANY OTHER TENANT ON A SITE, THAT IS ALL HANDLED THROUGH BOTH THE LEASE AS SBA DOES NOT ALLOW A TENANT TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY'RE RISKING THEIR FCC LICENSE ANYTIME THEY HAVE ANY ISSUE THAT DOESN'T MEET THOSE STANDARDS.

LET'S SEE IF I GET THE NEXT ONE HERE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I MEAN, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION OF PROPERTY VALUES.

UM, I MEAN ULTIMATELY THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS LOCATE THIS SITE SO WE'RE AS FAR FROM PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE OVER 2200 FEET FROM THE NEAREST HOME.

UM, BUT IF YOU DO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CERTAINLY CAN ANSWER THEM.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

UM, AND WE'LL COME BACK IF THERE'S QUESTIONS TO YOU.

WE'RE GOING, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND OPEN UP THE, UH, PUBLIC HEARING AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WISHING TO SPEAK.

UM, I'VE GOT THE LIST RIGHT HERE.

SO WE'RE GONNA START OFF WITH KAREN.

KAREN, ARE YOU HERE? PERFECT.

WE'LL INVITE YOU UP TO THE MICROPHONE.

HOW DO WE GET ON THAT LIST? UH, YOU FILL OUT A FORM.

DO YOU HAVE SOME WITH IT? IF WE WILL WAIT JUST A SECOND THERE.

MELISSA'S GOING TO GET THEM THE FORM, BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING UP.

IS THAT OKAY? SHE'S RIGHT BACK.

OKAY, SO WE HAVE QUITE A FEW CALL TO THE PUBLIC, UM, ITEMS HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO RIGHT HERE ON THIS CLOCK SO EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'LL SHOW THREE MINUTES.

SO EVERYBODY WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF SPEAK SO WE CAN HAVE SOME ORDER AND GET THROUGH THAT.

BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, KAREN.

UH, KAREN, IT'S KAREN.

CORRECT.

RIGHT, WELL THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

I LIVE AT 8 5 5 9 GARDEN HOME TRAIL.

MY NAME IS KAREN PERRIN.

UM, I HAVE HERE A MAP SOLID RED, WHICH IS FROM VERIZON'S OWN WEBSITE FROM THE COVERAGE LINK.

4G ON THIS MAP IS RED.

THE CENTER OF THIS MAP IS THE CORNER OF CONCHO HIGHWAY AND WHITE, AN LOW ACCORDING TO VERIZON'S OWN ADMISSION.

THE COVERAGE EXTENDS IN 4G AT LEAST THREE MILES IN CIRCUMFERENCE AROUND THIS SITE.

THIS NEGATES THE STANDARD OF HAVING SIGNIFICANT GAP IN WIRELESS CELL COVERAGE THAT MUST BE MET FOR THE FEDERAL, UM, COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1996.

IT SIMPLY DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT.

I'LL MENTION RIGHT HERE THAT IF YOU DO PULL UP THIS MAP, ANOTHER MAP IS SIMILAR, WHICH SHOWS A DIFFERENCE IN COVERAGE.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEGEND THAT LEGEND SAYS THAT THE RED COVERAGE ON THAT MAP IS 5G, THE UH, TAN COVERAGE IS 4G BY THE STANDARDS OF EITHER MAP, THERE'S GREAT COVERAGE THAT DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANT CELL PHONE.

UM, LACK OF COMMUNI, UH, LACK OF COVERAGE.

UM, EXCUSE ME.

SO NOT ONLY DOES THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ACT NOT APPLY TO THIS, NEITHER DOES THE NEVADA COUNTY CODE 25 21, WHICH STA STATES IN ON PAGE 25, 28 SUBSECTION I, THAT THERE MUST BE A C UM, INABILITY FOR THE, UM, FOR THERE TO BE REASONABLE COMMUNICATION OF FROM, UM, COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATION BECAUSE EXISTING SERV EXISTING SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

4G IS PLENTY FOR EXISTING SERVICES COMMERCIALLY.

UM, ACCORDING TO NEVADA NAVAJO COUNTY'S OWN CODE, THIS PROJECT NEEDS TO BE DENIED BECAUSE THE COVERAGE JUST IS NOT TO THE STANDARD OF EXISTING, UM, COVERAGE NOT BEING ADEQUATE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS.

THIS IS NAVAJO COUNTY'S

[01:45:01]

OWN, UM, I'M SORRY.

THIS IS, UM, VERIZON'S OWN WEBSITE.

UM, UPPER RIGHT HAND MENU DROP DOWN TO COVERAGE.

THANK YOU KAREN, YOU VERY MUCH, MUCH APPRECIATED.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA NOW GO TO MARLENE.

MS. MARLENE HERE.

THANK YOU, MARLENE.

GET THROUGH HERE.

HI, I AM MARLENE SCHMIDT AND I'M A RESIDENT, UM, EAST OF SNOWFLAKE.

DID YOU NEED MY ADDRESS? WE HAVE IT ON THIS.

OH, OH, OKAY.

WELL, I WANNA START OUT WITH THE TOWER WILL HURT OUR PROPERTY PURPOSE IN A UNIQUE WAY.

THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT PAID FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND SAFE MATERIALS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING BY DRIVING BY THE TOWER IN AND OUT OF OUR PROPERTY.

THEN IT WOULD NEGATE THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SHIELDING MATERIALS USED.

THE GOVERNMENT FUNDED LOW INCOME HOUSING, WHICH HAS FOUR HOUSES, AS WELL AS A SEPARATE MECHANICAL AND LAUNDRY BUILDING OFF NORTH WHITE ANTELOPE ROAD.

THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WITH CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES AND CONSTRUCTED TO SHIELD AGAINST MICROWAVE RADIO FREQUENCIES EMITTED BY CELL TOWERS.

USING THE MATERIALS LISTED BELOW THIS SPECIFIC ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING FEATURES, UH, STEEL SIDING, STEEL ROOFING, FOIL, BACK SHEET ROCK, STEEL PANEL DOORS, ALUMINUM BLINDS, AND ROMEX BAND TWISTED 12 THREE WIRING.

THIS TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION IS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL AND GENERALLY ONLY HAS PERCEIVED VALUE BY PEOPLE WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSITIVITIES.

EMS, THE ARIZONA GOVERNMENT FUNDED HOUSES, UM, FUNDED BY ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING ARE THE ONLY ONES OF THEIR KIND IN ARIZONA.

ADDITIONALLY, LOW EMS FEATURES RURAL LOCATION FAR FROM TRANSMISSION CELL TOWERS, BARREL OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES LOCATING, UH, REFRIGERATOR, STOVE, AND ELECTRICAL METER AWAY FROM BEDROOM.

AND THE HEATING SYSTEM IS IN FLOOR RADIANT HEAT INSTEAD OF ELECTRIC HEAT.

AND THE PUMPS AND ELECTRONICS ARE IN THE MECHANICAL BUILDING.

THE LAYOUT ALLOWS SHORT DIRECT RUNS OF WIRING FROM THE ELECTRICAL PANEL TO THE MAIN ELECTRICAL CONSUMERS WATER HEATER, STOVE, REFRIGERATOR.

THE WIRES DO NOT RUN NEAR THE BEDROOM OR THE LIVING ROOM.

UM, THE ELECTRIC PANELS IN THE WALL OF A ROOM THAT IS RARELY OCCUPIED.

NATURAL LIGHT IS AVAILABLE IN EVERY ROOM TO MINIMIZE USE OF ELECTRIC LIGHT.

THIS IS AN OPERABLE BATH.

IT IT, THERE IS AN OPERABLE BATHROOM WINDOW SO MOISTURE CAN BE VENTED WITHOUT AN ELECTRICAL FAN.

THERE IS LESS NEED FOR AIR CONDITIONING THROUGH PASSIVE COOLING DESIGN AND THERE ARE NO FLUORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES.

THESE FEATURES GENERALLY ADD COST TO THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET AND SOME ARE NOT CONSIDERED APPEALING TO BUYERS WHO DON'T HAVE CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL SENSITIVITIES.

MANY CONSIDER THE BARN SIDING AND METAL SHELVING UNITS TO BE UGLY.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE PA, IF THE TOWER IS BUILT IN THE PROPOSED LOCATION, MOST PEOPLE WITH CHEMICAL AND ELECTRICAL SENSITIVITIES WILL NOT WANT TO RENT HERE ANY LONGER.

IN EFFECT, THE VERY SPECIAL NEEDS HOUSING PROJECT COULD DRY UP AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY WOULD POSSIBLY BE FORCED TO SELL AT A CONSIDERABLE LOSS TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THESE MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND DON'T HAVE ANY DESIRE TO PAY A PREMIUM.

FOR THE SPECIAL FEATURES.

AGAIN, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT PAID FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND SAFE MATERIALS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING BY DRIVING BY THIS TOWER IN AN HOUR WE'RE AT OUR THREE MINUTES OF OUR PROPERTY, THEN IT WOULD NEGATE THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SHIELDING MATERIALS USED.

SORRY, JUST WANTED TO GET THAT LAST.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

I APPRECIATE IT.

RELAYED BY THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING TO FUND THESE.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO MELINDA WILSON.

EXCUSE ME, SORRY.

HI, MY NAME IS MELINDA WILSON.

I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO MARLENE IN THE SAME GOVERNMENT FUNDED HOUSING FOUR UNITS.

UM, AS MARLENE DESCRIBED ALREADY, THIS IS SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED.

UM, I DO HAVE COPIES OF DOCUMENTS THAT REFER SPECIFICALLY TO THE, UH, FEDERAL HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, UH, FUNDING

[01:50:01]

AND I CAN MAKE THEM AVAILABLE IF YOU WOULD LIKE THEM.

I HAVE LIVED IN THIS HOUSING FOR 12 AND A HALF YEARS.

UM, WHEN I MOVED IN, THE LANDLORD EMPHASIZED THAT THE SPECIAL SHIELDING AGAINST THE, UH, ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND AGAINST THE KIND OF RADIO FREQUENCIES THAT COME FROM CELL TOWERS AND THE SPECIAL FEATURES THAT KEPT ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS FROM BUILDING UP IN THE IN FLOOR HEATING WERE, WERE, UH, BEST FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME.

UM, I MOVED IN WITH THEIR ADVERTISED, UM, VERBAL, UM, ASSURANCE THAT THIS KIND OF BUILD ENVIRONMENT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR ME, AND IT HAS BEEN TO A LARGE EXTENT.

UM, NOW THE SHIELDING IS NOT ABSOLUTE.

UM, WITH THE BUILDUP OF TOWERS THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST 12 AND A HALF YEARS, UH, I DO FEEL THINGS COMING IN.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT ABSOLUTE SHIELDING, NOTHING IS.

AND ANOTHER TOWER, UH, WITH WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF USE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE ONCE, UH, THEY'VE BUILT IT, THEY CAN EXTEND IT AND THEY CAN KEEP ADDING THINGS TO IT.

UM, WHAT THAT WILL DO TWO MILES FROM ME IS AN OPEN QUESTION.

I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON WHERE THEY AIM IT, IT DEPENDS ON WHERE THEY AIM IT IN THE FUTURE.

IT DEPENDS ON A LOT OF THINGS THAT AS SOON AS YOU APPROVE IT, UM, WOULD BE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL.

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

SO I THINK THAT THIS PERMIT SHOULD BE DENIED PARTLY BECAUSE AS IN OUR BRIEF, UM, THE APPLICATION DOES NOT PROVE NEED FOR COVERAGE.

UM, AND BECAUSE, UM, THIS IS A SPECIAL HOUSING NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S A COMBINATION OF PEOPLE WHO OWN THEIR OWN HOMES THAT ARE SHIELDED AND RENTAL PROPERTIES FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT ARE SHIELDED.

AND THE WHOLE IT, WE'VE BEEN ESTABLISHED THERE FOR MANY YEARS, SOME AS MANY AS 30 YEARS.

UM, THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE PARTLY KEYED TO, UM, THE SPECIAL FEATURES THAT FRANKLY ARE NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE IN MANY OF THESE HOMES.

SO I URGE YOU TO DENY THIS PERMIT.

THANK YOU, MELINDA.

ALRIGHT, THOMAS FREEMAN.

HELLO, AL.

I'M TOMA TOM FREEMAN.

UH, THANK YOU FOR, UH, HEARING ME.

UM, I'M HERE TO URGE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO REJECT THIS APPLICATION.

UM, I BELIEVE THE TOWER AT THIS LOCATION ISN'T NEEDED AT THIS TIME, AND THERE ARE BETTER LOCATIONS THAT AREN'T TOO FAR AWAY, UH, THAT WOULD, UH, ADDRESS ANY, UH, WEAKNESS IN, IN THE CURRENT SITUATION.

THIS LOCATION IS AT LOWER ELEVATION THAN MOST OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, WHICH IS WHY, UH, THERE IS, UH, SOMEWHAT SUBPAR RECEPTION RIGHT THERE AS YOU, YOU KNOW, AT THAT INTERSECTION AS HE, UH, INDICATED.

BUT, UM, AS MR. DERY SAID, UM, THERE'S ALREADY, UH, APPROVED NEARBY TOWER, UH, ON THE MESA, WHICH IS A COUPLE OF MILES TO THE, UM, EAST SOUTHEAST.

UM, THAT MACE IS 300 FEET HIGHER THAN THIS PROPOSED TOWER, UM, AT THE WHITE ANTELOPE LOCATION.

UH, AND THAT'S ENOUGH SO THAT, UH, IT SHOULD GREATLY IMPROVE COVERAGE, UH, FOR THE AREA, UH, THAT THIS ONE YOU'RE CONSIDERING IS ADDRESSING.

UM, MY WIFE AND I OWN A HOUSE THAT'S ABOUT THREE MILES NORTH, UH, OF, UH, THE PROPOSED TOWER.

AND, UH, OUTSIDE, UH, THAT HOUSE, WE REGULARLY GET TWO AND SOMETIMES THREE BARS.

UH, AND, UH, THEN WITH A ANTENNA GAIN, UH, YOU KNOW, I CAN GET, UH, HIGH SPEED, UH, DATA, UH, FROM VERIZON.

UM, YEAH, UH, RIGHT.

THE STATE HO OWNED LAND, UH, THAT'S ABOUT 3000, UH, FEET SOUTHWEST OF THE PRO, UH, PROPOSED LOCATION.

UH, ANOTHER POSSIBLE BETTER LOCATION IS ON

[01:55:01]

THAT LOCATION IS ABOUT 60 OR 70 FEET HIGHER THAN THE ONE YOU'RE CURRENTLY CONSIDERING.

UM, THE STATE LAND, UM, MIGHT NOT REQUIRE SUCH A TALL TOWER, UH, AND IT'S OF COURSE MUCH FURTHER FROM THE MAILBOX.

IN MY OPINION, SBA DID NOT ADEQUATELY CONSIDER OR INVESTIGATE THE STATE LAND, POSSIBLY REJECTED IT OUT OF HAND BECAUSE THE DIFFICULTY OF DEALING WITH THE STATE BUREAUCRACY AND POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THE TIME DELAY IN BUSINESS TIME IS MONEY.

UM, THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX ISSUE.

I URGE YOU TO REJECT THE PROPOSAL AS, UH, PRESENTED AND FULLY CONSIDER THE LEGAL BRIEF THAT OUR GROUP SAFEGUARD SNOWFLAKE, UM, UH, HAS SUBMITTED.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT JUST RECENTLY, UH, IT IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GATHER ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEEDED.

UM, UH, IN MY OPINION, UH, THE COMMISSION ON PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, UH, WAS UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT THEY, UH, HAD TO APPROVE IT.

SO I THINK YOU SHOULD THOMAS, DISREGARD THEIR APPROVAL.

GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS.

UH, SUSAN MATLEY.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR.

MY NAME IS SUSAN MALLOY.

I LIVE AT 8 6 5 7 HANSA TRAIL IN SNOWFLAKE.

I MOVED THERE 30 YEARS AGO THINKING THAT HOPING I WOULD BE OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE FOR ANYTHING THAT COULD, COULD BE FALL ME.

UM, I'D BEEN SICK FOR A FEW YEARS.

I'M IN REMISSION NOW, THANKS TO HAVING A RATHER SAFE PLACE TO LIVE.

I'M EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

UM, WE, WE ALL UNDERSTAND YOU, MOST OF ALL, THAT YOU'VE BEEN CHOSEN BY LOCAL, BY LOCAL CITIZENS TO LOOK AFTER THE INTEREST OF RESIDENTS OF PARK COUNTY IN THOSE AREAS, LYING OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS TO PERMIT AN ENORMOUS CELL TOWER TO BE IMPOSED AT THE PRIMARY, IN FACT, ONLY INTERSECTION IN WHAT HAS BECOME A HIGHLY VALUED NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT IN OUR INTEREST, AND IN FACT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF OUR TRUST.

THE SITE THAT SBA PLANS TO TAKE ON BEHALF OF VERIZON WAS CHOSEN RECKLESSLY.

IT IS THE CORNER OF WHITE ANTELOPE ROAD IN CONCHO HIGHWAY, WHICH IS THE ONE ONLY WAY FOR US TO GET TO TOWN FOR ALL OUR NEEDS, INCLUDING SHOPPING, MEDICAL CARE, JOBS, SCHOOL TRAINING, TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES, WORSHIP AND PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC LIFE.

LIKE THIS MEETING, THIS CORNER IS WHERE THE SCHOOL BUS STOP IS FOR OUR ARIES CHILDREN.

IT'S THE SITE OF 92 MAILBOXES, SOME OF WHICH SERVE MORE THAN ONE FAMILY IN OUR VERY RURAL AREA.

THE SITE THAT SBA IS ASKING YOU TO GIVE TO THEM, TO THEIR 120 FOOT TALL, IT'S 12 STORIES, TALL, UGLY, INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE TRYING TO SELL IT TO ALL OF US USING THE IDEA THAT THE COW PASTURE THERE, SOME OF WHICH LIES BELOW GRADE, IT'S THE ONE AND ONLY SITE WHERE THEY CAN POSSIBLY PUT THEIR INSTALLATION.

HAS SBA USED THE SALES PITCH THAT IF YOU DO NOT GIVE THEM THIS ONE VERY SPECIFIC SITE, COMPLETELY DEGRADING AND DEVALUING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SUSAN, WE'RE AT THREE MINUTES NOW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR HEARTFELT PLEA.

[02:00:01]

WE APPRECIATE IT.

UH, NAOMI LARSON.

OKAY, NAOMI IS ONLINE.

I JUST, UH, I JUST HAD TO UNMUTE MYSELF.

UH, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, GET A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAID.

UM, I THERE THAT 86 75 HAN TRAIL, WHICH IS ABOUT THREE MILES NORTH OF THIS PROPOSED LOCATION.

AND, UM, I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE ABOUT 2018.

AND, UM, UH, MY FAMILY HELPED ME PURCHASE THIS HOUSE ON 20 ACRES.

AND I'M 71 YEARS OLD.

AND, UM, I, IT TOOK ME MANY YEARS OF, UH, MANY YEARS BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT HERE.

AND MY HEALTH HAS IMPROVED GREATLY, UH, BEING ABLE TO, UH, AVOID A LOT OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC, UH, EXPOSURES THAT ARE COMMON IN MOST OTHER LIVING AREAS.

AND, UM, I'M, UH, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT, UM, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SBA COMMUNICATIONS IS ACTUALLY PROVIDED ANY REAL DATA TO SHOW, UH, REAL DATA TO SHOW THAT THERE'S A COVERAGE GAP THERE.

UM, THOSE, THOSE COLORED MAPS THAT THEY SHOW DON'T, DON'T SHOW ALL THE DIFFERENT, UH, UH, THE DIFFERENT, THAT ONLY SHOWS I THINK ONE, UH, FREQUENCY.

AND THEY HAVE, VERIZON HAS SEVERAL, THEY HAVE SEVERAL FREQUENCIES WHERE THEY CAN GET, UM, UH, RECEPTION FOR CELL TOWERS.

UM, SO, UM, I'M CONCERNED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT MY PROPERTY VALUES.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXPOSURES I WOULD GET TO, UH, RA RADIATION OF HAVING TO GO BY THAT TOWER TO GET MY MAIL AND SO FORTH.

SO, UM, AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ELSE HAS SAID, EXCEPT MAYBE SUSAN, UM, OF HOW INCONGRUOUS THIS HUGE METAL, UH, TOWER WOULD BE IN OUR, OUR RURAL, THIS RURAL SETTING.

UM, IT'S JUST REALLY AN EYESORE AND, UM, UH, I JUST URGE YOU TO DENY THE PERMIT AND, UM, UH, UH, HAVE THEM, UH, USE OTHER TOWERS IN OTHER AREAS THAT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE.

THANK YOU, NAOMI.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GO TO DIANA SLO.

CAN YOU SEE ME? YEP, WE CAN HEAR YOU.

BE AS MUCH AS 50% LESS THAN THEIR CURRENT VALUE.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN AND SUPERVISORS.

I ASK THAT YOU DENY THE SBA CELL TOWER APPLICATION.

THE SPECIAL FEATURES OF OUR HOMES ADD COST TO THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET.

I BOUGHT MY HOUSE AT A TOP OF THE MARKET PRICE AND THEN SPENT AN EXTRA 150,000 TO MAKE THE HOUSE TOLERABLE FOR ME.

SOME OF THE UPGRADES I MADE FOR MY HEALTH WOULD NOT BE APPEALING TO BUYERS WHO DO NOT HAVE SIMILAR HEALTH ISSUES.

WE HAVE A DOCTOR'S LETTER VALIDATING THAT I DO HAVE AN IMMUNE SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT NECESSITATES THIS TYPE OF HOUSING.

COMPARED TO TYPICAL HOUSING, OUR HOUSES SEEM STERILE IN COLD, WHICH IS NOT WHAT A TYPICAL BUYER WANTS.

IF THE TOWER IS BUILT IN THE PROPOSED LOCATION, MOST PEOPLE WITH ELECTRICAL SENSITIVITIES WILL NOT WANT TO BUY OUR HOMES.

IN EFFECT, OUR VERY SPECIALIZED MARKET WILL DRY UP AND WE WOULD BE FORCED TO SELL AT A CONSIDERABLE LOSS TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THESE MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND DON'T HAVE ANY DESIRE TO PAY A PREMIUM FOR THESE SPECIALTY FEATURES.

THEY WILL NOT WANT TO DRIVE UNDER A TOWER FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THEIR HOMES AND TO ACCESS MAILBOXES.

IN HER.

LETTER TO THE SUPERVISORS IN OUR SUPPORT REALTOR, JOANNE TERIN WROTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT THIS.

THE PROPOSED CELL TOWER WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE REAL ESTATE VALUES IN THIS AREA.

THE HOMES THAT THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE LIVE IN ARE PURPOSE BUILT AND VERY DESIRABLE TO PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS, WHICH IS VERY REAL.

OUR AREA, IN PARTICULAR, THE WHITE ANTELOPE AREA, IS SOUGHT OUT AS A PLACE OF REFUGE FOR THESE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE.

IF THESE HOMES CAN'T BE SOLD TO PEOPLE LIKE THEMSELVES WHO APPRECIATE THEIR SPECIALIZED CONSTRUCTION, THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME VALUE AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEING SOLD TO FOLKS THAT DON'T SUFFER FROM ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS, BUT LIKELY DEVALUATION IN THEIR HOMES COULD

[02:05:01]

REALTOR KEVIN DUNN, WHO HAD ALSO WORKED DIRECTLY WITH MANY OF US, ME INCLUDED, SHE HIS LETTER.

THESE UNIQUE HOMES ASSESS AT A HIGHER PRICE DUE TO THE SPECIALIZED MATERIAL AND WAY THEY ARE BUILT.

THEIR PROPERTY VALUES WILL DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY, AND THEIR ABILITY TO SELL THEIR HOMES WILL ALSO DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY.

IN EFFECT, IF YOU APPROVE THIS TOWER, YOU WILL BE TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE POCKETS OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND PUTTING IT IN THE POCKETS OF VERIZON AND SBA.

SOME NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE WELCOME SIGNS AT THE ENTRANCE TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE WILL HAVE A BIG UP TO 140 FOOT LOOMING UNWELCOMING CELL TOWER.

MR. DENTISTRY'S SUGGESTION OF SHIFTING THE TOWER 15 FEET IS A LAUGHABLE INSULT AND WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED BY THOSE OF US SPEAKING AND THE LETTERS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO YOU, I URGE THAT YOU REJECT THE APPLICATION.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO WE HAVE MICHELLE.

YES, CAN YOU HEAR ME? WE CAN HEAR YOU.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS MICHELLE MASKA.

I LIVE EAST OF SNOWFLAKE NEAR THE PROPOSED SITE OF THE WIRELESS INSTALLATION, AND I ALSO LIVE IN A HOUSE THAT HAS SPECIALIZED CONSTRUCTION, UM, AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED.

SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT ABOUT A POTENTIAL DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION AND WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE.

SO IN THE PAST, UM, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERN THAT A DENIAL OF A CELL TOWER APPLICATION MIGHT PUT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF FEDERAL LAW.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE TODAY.

THE LAW ALLOWS COUNTIES TO DENY CELL TOWERS AS LONG AS THE DENIAL MEETS THREE CRITERIA.

IT'S MADE IN WRITING.

IT'S BASED ON SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND IT'S PROVIDED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

THE ARGUMENTS WE'VE PRESENTED HERE TODAY MEET THE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE STANDARD.

THESE INCLUDE THE TOWER WILL SIGNIFICANTLY HARM OUR UNIQUE PROPERTY VALUES AS MARLENE, MELINDA, DIANA, AND SUSIE HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO.

SBA COMMUNICATIONS HAS NOT PROVED A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN COVERAGE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY REQUIRE A NEW TOWER, NOR HAVE THEY PROVED CAPACITY DEFICIENCY, WHICH KAREN AND NAOMI SPOKE TO.

AND THE TECHNICAL ARGUMENTS ARE DETAILED IN THE MEMORANDUM THAT SAFEGUARD SNOWFLAKE SUBMITTED.

THE SBA DID NOT FULLY COMPLETE THE APPLICATION, WHICH IS ALSO DETAILED IN OUR ME IN OUR MEMORANDUM.

EXCUSE ME.

FINALLY, THE SBA FAILED TO ADEQUATELY CONSIDER BETTER SITE OPTIONS THAT COULD REMOVE THIS UNDUE, UH, BURDEN ON PEOPLE'S PROPERTY VALUES AS THOMAS SPOKE TO.

SO A NUMBER OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN ARIZONA, NEVADA HAVE DENIED TOWERS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS BASED ON MANY OF THE SAME ARGUMENTS WE'RE PRESENTING HERE TODAY.

THESE INCLUDE PINAL COUNTY, PIMA COUNTY, THE CITY OF PRESCOTT, AND PAHRUMP, NEVADA.

NONE OF THESE MUNICIPALITIES HAVE ENCOUNTERED LEGAL TROUBLES AS A RESULT OF THEIR DENIALS AND NONE HAVE BEEN SUED BY WIRELESS COMPANIES.

WE'VE INCLUDED A COPY OF PINAL COUNTY'S DENIAL LETTER.

IT'S A SIMPLE TWO PAGE LETTER THAT SUMMARIZES THE DECISION.

AND IT'S AN EXAMPLE THAT FULLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL LAW.

IT DID NOT CREATE AN ONEROUS BURDEN ON THE COUNTY ATTORNEY NOR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.

WE HUMBLY ASK THAT NAVAJO COUNTY ALSO DENY THIS APPLICATION AND THEREBY DEMONSTRATE THAT LOCAL CONTROL MATTERS AND THE VOICES OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE HEARD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MICHELLE.

ALRIGHT, AND THAT'S THE LAST ONES THAT WE HAD ON ZOOM.

UM, NO, WE WE HAVE ONE MORE, I'M SORRY.

SCOTT.

SCOTT KILLINGSWORTH.

SCOTT, I THINK YOU'RE ON MUTE.

THIS WAS DONE IN LARGE PART TO BLOCK OUT RADIO FREQUENCIES AND, UH, I THINK YOU MIGHT AGREE THAT IT'S NOT THE MOST, UH, AESTHETICALLY PLEASING APPEARANCE AND, AND PROBABLY NOT WHAT THE TYPICAL HOME BUYER WOULD BE LOOKING FOR, BUT IT, IT WORKS VERY WELL FOR THOSE OF US WHO, WHO NEED THIS KIND OF CONSTRUCTION.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES.

OKAY, WONDERFUL.

UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

MY NAME IS SCOTT KILLINGSWORTH, 8 5 5 8 GARDEN HOME TRAIL.

SNOWFLAKE.

FIRST OF ALL, AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, YOU CAN SEE AN ILLUSTRATION OF SOME OF THE SPECIAL FEATURES THAT OUR HOUSES HAVE.

SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS, YOU CAN SEE THE FOIL BACKED DRYWALL HERE BEHIND ME.

UH,

[02:10:01]

SO I'LL BE DISCUSSING THE WAYS IN WHICH THE APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE.

UH, THE APPLICATION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NAVAJO COUNTY ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS.

FIRST APPLICATION REQUIREMENT.

I REQUIRES APPLICANTS TO SUBMIT THAT NO EXISTING WIRELESS FACILITY MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE APPLICANT AND LISTS ALL SITES WITHIN FIVE MILES OF THE PROPOSED SITE.

AND THE REASON THAT EACH IS NOT PHYSICALLY ADEQUATE FOR COMMERCIAL COVERAGE.

SBA MENTIONS THAT VERIZON HAS HAD A TOWER APPROVED FOR A SITE ON BLACK MESA ABOUT FOUR MILES TO THE EAST, THOUGH IT DOES NOT MENTION THAT THERE'S AN EXISTING TOWER ALREADY THERE.

THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE'S A TOWER AT SNOWFLAKE HEIGHTS FOUR MILES SOUTHWEST UPON WHICH A VERIZON TRANSMITTER WILL EVENTUALLY BE ADDED.

THEY DO NOT EXPLAIN WHY THESE FACILITIES WOULD NOT BE PHYSICALLY ADEQUATE FOR COMMERCIAL COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE TO JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR A NEW 12 STORY TOWER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SECOND APPLICATION REQUIREMENT J REQUIRES APPLICANTS TO SUBMIT PHOTO SIMULATIONS FROM THE FIVE CLOSEST RESIDENCES WITHIN TWO MILES OF THE PROPOSED SITE.

IN THE APPLICATION SBA DID NOT INCLUDE PHOTO SIMULATIONS FROM THE FIVE CLOSEST RESIDENCES.

SO YOU WERE DENIED THIS IMPORTANT INPUT TO YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS APPLICATION.

SBA IS A LARGE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION.

THIS IS THEIR BUSINESS AND WHAT THEY DO EVERY DAY.

SO IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THEY WERE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS.

I BELIEVE THAT S FDA'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE MATERIAL INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE COUNTY'S VERY REASONABLE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS REPRESENTS SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THIS APPLICATION BEING DENIED.

GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS.

THANKS SCOTT.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA COME BACK INTO THE ROOM NOW AND, UH, CARRIE, DONE.

MY NAME'S KERRY DUNN.

I'M HANDYMAN FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY THAT'S, UH, ALARMED BY THIS TOWER AND I FORESEE LOSING A LOT OF MY CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF THEM NEEDING TO MOVE AWAY WHEN THEY GET SICK.

ONCE THIS TOWER'S BEEN PUT UP ALSO, I, ONE OF MY CLIENTS WHO HAS A MAILBOX BY THAT SITE HAS ASKED ME TO READ A LETTER FOR HIM.

MY NAME ISTE VID.

I AM TOO SICK TO COME HERE IN PERSON, SO I SENT SOMEONE TO READ THIS LETTER.

I LIVE OFF WHITE ANTELOPE ROAD.

I MOVED HERE 16 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THE PRISTINE AIR QUALITY AND LOW RADIATION FROM TOWERS.

I BUILT MY OWN HOUSE HERE USING EXPENSIVE NON-TOXIC MATERIALS.

THESE HOUSES COST MORE TO BUILD THAN REGULAR HOUSES.

ONLY PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM ARE WILLING TO PAY THE PREMIUM PRICE AND THEY WILL STOP MOVING HERE IF THESE TOWERS ARE ALLOWED TO ENCROACH ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, SO, UH, THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GO TO KEVIN DUNN.

THEY'VE GOT SPECIAL MATERIALS.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

I, UH, AS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED, I'M A REAL ESTATE AGENT.

I'VE BEEN IN WORKING IN THIS COMMUNITY WHITE MOUNTAINS SINCE 2002.

I SPECIALIZE IN LARGE ACREAGE AND THIS IS ZONED RU 20.

SO IT'S BASICALLY LARGE ACREAGE.

THEY'VE ADOPTED ME OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS AS THEIR REALTOR OF CHOICE BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS.

I DON'T WEAR COLOGNES, I DON'T USE DRYER SHEETS IN MY CLOTHES.

I'M PRETTY INERT, WHICH THEY REQUIRE, UM, AS YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD, THEIR HOUSING IS SPECIAL.

IT'S BUILT

[02:15:01]

SPECIALLY.

IT'S A HIGH DOLLAR BUILD.

IT'S UNIQUE.

AND MANY OF THESE HOMES HAVE NO APPEAL OR VERY LITTLE APPEAL TO, UH, US GENERAL PUBLIC.

THEY'RE NOT ATTRACTIVE.

THEY'RE NOT FUNCTIONAL.

I CAN TELL YOU WITH COMPLETE CERTAINTY THAT IF THAT CELL TOWER GOES IN THAT CORNER, THEIR PROPERTY VALUES WILL BE DEVASTATED.

THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS AND YEARS, NOT ONLY THROUGH THE UNITED STATES, IT'S WORLD RENOWNED.

I GET CONTACTED CONSTANTLY FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS CONTINENT LOOKING FOR SAFE HOUSING.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND.

IT'S ALSO VERY HARD TO COME BY IN THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT IS A SAFE ZONE FOR THESE FOLKS.

SO THEY DON'T MOVE OUT VERY OFTEN.

WHEN THEY PASS ON, THEIR HOME BECOMES AVAILABLE.

IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO SELL IT, BUT IF THIS CELL TOWER GOES IN, IT'LL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SELL THIS HOUSING.

IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE DESIRE THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THIS A VERY SPECIALIZED COMMUNITY.

THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE VERY COMPROMISED.

THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THESE MAILBOXES.

I ALSO KNOW THAT FCC AND VERIZON, BIG MONEY, THEY DON'T CARE MUCH ABOUT OUR HEALTH.

AS IS VERY WELL LOOKED INTO.

CELL TOWERS ARE ALSO VERY UNHEALTHY FOR NOT ONLY THEM, ESPECIALLY THEM WITH IMMUNE SENSITIVITY, BUT IT'S HAZARDOUS TO ALL OF US AND THERE'S PLENTY OF RESEARCH TO PROVE THIS.

AND OF COURSE, THE FCC IS GONNA DENY IT, AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE, BUT THEY ARE VERY UNHEALTHY, AND THIS IS A BAD MOVE FOR THIS ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THE STATE DID DEVELOP SPECIALIZED HOUSING FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

THEY REZONED IT TO MULTIFAMILY.

THIS IS A SPECIAL DEAL MANY YEARS AGO.

BUILT SEVERAL DUPLEXES JUST FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

IT'S A LONG WAITING LIST FOR THAT, THAT HOUSING.

AND I'M, I CONTINUALLY CONTACTED BY PEOPLE LOOKING FOR SPECIAL HOUSING LIKE THIS, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE DESTROYED.

IT'S BEEN RECOGNIZED OVER THE YEARS AS A VERY FAVORABLE AREA, BUT IT'S NO LONGER GOING TO BE.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THAT'S THE LAST OF THE CALL TO THE PUBLIC THAT I HAD FOR THIS ITEM.

THERE ARE NO OTHER ONES.

AREA WHERE THOSE HOMES IS AT IS MAYBE ONE OR TWO BARS.

ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UM, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM STAFF OR THE APPLICANT? GO AHEAD, MR. CHAIR, VICE CHAIRWOMAN.

UH, I'D JUST LIKE TO GO THROUGH A FEW OF THE THINGS.

I MEAN, I, I'D IMAGINE THESE MIGHT BE QUESTIONS THAT'LL COME UP, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT QUESTIONS REGARDING, UH, COMPLETENESS OR INCOMPLETENESS OF THE, UH, APPLICATION.

UM, THE MAP THAT WAS SHOWN I WAS NOT PRESENTED WITH.

I DID LOOK ON VERIZON'S WEBSITE.

UH, FROM LOOKING AT THE WEBSITE, THE AREA THAT'S SHOWN IN WHAT IS A DARK RED, UH, MATCHES UP ALMOST EXACTLY WITH WHAT I HAVE.

UH, THERE'S A LIGHTER RED THAT INDICATES ONE BAR OR LESS, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE SHOWING ON OUR MAPS AS IS NOT THERE.

UH, IF THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE GRANULAR DATA, WE CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE IT.

IF YOU WANNA TABLE US FOR THAT AND WE CAN PROVIDE THAT GRANULAR DATA, WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT, YOU KNOW, CARRIERS ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD SITES IF THEY DON'T NEED A SITE IN THE AREA.

UM, SPECIFICALLY ON SOME OF THE QUESTIONS OF INCOMPLETENESS OF THAT APPLICATION KIND OF TIES INTO THIS, AND AGAIN, WHY WE'RE AT THIS LOCATION.

UM, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE TOWERS WITHIN FIVE MILES.

UH, I DID NOTE BOTH OF THE TOWERS WITHIN FIVE MILES, AND I DID NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE VIABLE PRIMARILY BECAUSE VERIZON IS BUILDING ONE OF THEM.

SO THAT, OBVIOUSLY IF THEY ARE BUILDING THAT ONE, AS I EXPLAINED BEFORE, THEY'RE BUILDING THAT ONE AND PLANNING ON USING THIS ONE AND PLANNING ON USING THAT THIRD TOWER.

IF THEY COULD PROVIDE COVERAGE FROM THOSE TWO SITES, THEY WOULD, UH, IT, AGAIN, THEY DON'T WANNA SPEND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON AN ADDITIONAL SITE IF THEY DON'T NEED IT.

UH, THE QUESTION IS, THE POINTS COME UP OF, HEY, THERE'S A CONCERN ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES.

UH, FOR THESE, THE FOLKS THAT LIVE SEVERAL MILES AWAY.

UM, THIS ROAD GOES TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

IT IS THE PRIMARY ROAD TO THEIR COMMUNITY, BUT ULTIMATELY THE SITE MEETS THE ORDINANCE STANDARDS.

THERE'S CURRENTLY A TOWER THAT IS ABOUT SIX MILES AWAY THAT, THAT GUIDE TOWER, THAT THAT'S UP HIGH.

UM, AS, AS MR. FREEMAN NOTED, THE, UM, THE SIGNAL IN THE

[02:20:01]

UH, THAT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE SUBSTANTIALLY FROM, FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

I MEAN, AGAIN, THEY'RE TWO TO THREE MILES NORTH OF US.

UM, THEY'LL BE NEAR THE EDGE OF, OF WHAT'S GONNA BE PROVIDED FOR COVERAGE FROM THIS SITE.

UH, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE TO WHAT THEY HAVE THERE.

UH, THERE WAS ALSO THE CONCERN ABOUT THE APP BEING INCOMPLETE BECAUSE THE PHOTO SIMULATION DOES NOT SHOW FROM THE NEAR THE NEAREST FIVE HOMES.

UH, THE NEAREST FIVE HOMES ARE ALL RIGHT WHERE THAT PICTURE IS FROM.

IN FACT, THAT LOCATION THERE IS A, A GROUP OF HOMES, AND THOSE ARE THE FIVE CLOSEST HOMES.

THERE ARE NOT CLOSER HOMES TO THE NORTHEAST OR SOUTH IF, OR SORRY, THE NORTH, SOUTH, OR WEST, THOSE HOMES TO THE EAST WHERE THAT PICTURE IS FROM.

THOSE ARE THE FIVE CLOSEST.

SO THAT, THAT IS COMPLETE.

UM, YOU KNOW, I, I KNOW I GUESS FOLKS WERE INSULTED BY THE PROPOSAL TO MOVE THE 25 FEET.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO DO THAT, UH, OUT OF GOODWILL.

UH, WE HAVE A SITE THAT MEETS THE ORDINANCE STANDARDS.

UH, IF THERE REALLY IS A CONCERN ABOUT, ABOUT COVERAGE, UH, THAT HAD NOT BEEN BROUGHT UP TO ME ABOUT INCOMPLETENESS.

UH, THE OPPOSITION DID NOT PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.

UH, WHAT I HAVE IS A MAP FROM THE ENGINEERING TEAM AT VERIZON.

IT ACTUALLY DOES MATCH UP PRETTY WELL WITH THE MAP THAT IS ON THE WEBSITE.

IF YOU DO NEED MORE INFORMATION TO MAKE A MORE INFORMED DECISION, UH, LIKE I SAID, I COULD CERTAINLY ACCEPT TO GET TABLED TO PROVIDE MORE GRANULAR DATA, AND I CAN HAVE ONE OF VERIZON'S RF ENGINEERS COME IN AND, AND PROVIDE MORE DETAIL, GO BACK OVER WHAT THE PLAN IS FOR THE FUTURE SITES.

BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS? UH, OTHER THAN ANY OF THOSE ITEMS MEMBERS, THE BOARD, DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? COULD YOU ACHIEVE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE BY TWO SITES INSTEAD OF ONE CHAIRMAN? UH, SUPERVISOR SEYMORE? NO.

AND, AND, AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.

SO THE, I MEAN, TWO ADDITIONAL SITES, UH, IF, IF WE WERE TO SPLIT THE SITES, UM, NOT REALLY.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF MY THING IS UP, I CAN SHOW YOU.

UH, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS COVER ALONG THAT ROADWAY.

SO THE WAY THAT THE SITES ARE SET UP, BOTH NOW AND ONCE THAT SITE GETS BUILT UP ON THE MESA GOING EAST TO WEST, IF WE SPLIT, IT DOESN'T REALLY DO MUCH, UH, 'CAUSE THE GAP TO COVER.

SO THE WAY IT'S SET UP RIGHT NOW, IT'S FOUR MILES.

IF WE WERE TO GO WITH SHORTER SITES AND SAY, MOVE THEM A MILE TO THE EAST AND WEST, THEY WOULD END UP TO THE EAST.

IT WOULD GET OVERLAPPED QUITE A BIT BY THE, THE SITE UP ON THE MESA, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE NOT FURTHER EAST WITH THE CURRENT SITE.

AND IF WE WERE TO GO FAR FURTHER WEST, IT WOULD END UP BEING OVERLAPPED BY BOTH THE FUTURE SITE AND THAT SITE UP IN THE, WE CALL IT SNOWFLAKE, THE LARGE GUIDE TOWER.

IF WE SPLIT TO GO NORTH AND SOUTH, WE'D REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM ON OUR HANDS BECAUSE THEN WE'D BE MOVING NORTH CLOSER TO THE HOMES THAT ARE IN QUESTION.

I MEAN, WE'RE CURRENTLY TWO MILES AWAY.

IF WE SPLIT AND MOVED TWO SITES, SPLIT 'EM UP AND WE'RE ONE MILE NORTH AND ONE MILE SOUTH, WE WOULDN'T GET NEARLY AS MUCH COVERAGE ALONG THE ROADWAY.

AND THEN WE WOULD BE CLOSER TO THESE HOMES AS WELL.

HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL BUSINESS IS ON THAT ROADWAY? THERE'S A, A ZONE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.

THE PRIMARY COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES ON THAT ROADWAY ARE TO THE EAST, THE COUNTRY STORE.

AND THEN THERE'S A HAY SALES PLACE, UH, THAT, THAT IS THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMERCIAL ON THERE.

SO IT IS, I THINK, DESIGNATED FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.

CURRENTLY, THERE'S NOT MUCH DEVELOPMENT THERE, UH, AT ALL.

THERE ARE SOME HOMES, AND AS WAS STATED, ONCE YOU GET WEST OF THIS, IT'S A STATE LAND SECTION.

AND UH, THEN YOU START GETTING TOWARD THE DROP OFF AND GET DOWN THE HILL AND INTO SNOWFLAKE.

SO THERE'S NOT, NOT A TON ALONG THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'RE REALLY JUST TRYING TO COVER RESIDENTS AND THEN TRAVELERS ALONG THE ROAD.

DO YOU LOOK AT THIS COMMUNITY AS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMUNITY THAN OTHER COMMUNITIES? MEANING THAT THEY HAVE A SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY? SOME, THERE IS DEFINITELY AN AREA THAT'S BEEN DESIGNATED AND BUILD UP AS SPECIAL NEEDS FOR IMMUNE SUPPRESSANT DISEASES, DIFFERENT THINGS THERE, AS OPPOSED TO BUILDING IN THE CENTER OF TOWN.

I MEAN, TO, ARE THEY A UNIQUE COMMUNITY? YES.

I I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE NOT.

UM, BUT AGAIN, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE'S ALREADY SOME COVERAGE THERE.

UH, IF, IF, IF SITES WERE TO BE DENIED BASED ON PEOPLE OR OWNERS OF PROPERTIES THAT WERE TWO, THREE MILES AWAY FROM A SITE WHICH OTHERWISE MEETS THE ORDINANCE STANDARDS, YOU START TO, I MEAN, EVEN IN THE AREA WHERE THERE'S CHECKERBOARD, YOU START GETTING INTO AN EFFECTIVE PROHIBITION ON SITES.

IF YOU DENY SITES BASED ON, UM, CONCERNS FOR A UNIQUE COMMUNITY THAT'S TWO MILES AWAY.

I MEAN, ULTIMATELY THAT THEN BRINGS IN, WELL, WHAT BECOMES AN ACCEPTABLE DISTANCE TO, TO PUT A SITE IN.

UM, YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD SPENT A LOT OF TIME DEVELOPING AN ORDINANCE,

[02:25:02]

AND YES, THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION.

WE ARE, WE ARE TWO MILES AWAY FROM THE UNIQUE SITUATION THOUGH.

I MEAN, IF YOU LOOKED AT MOVING THE MAILBOXES, WE HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO MOVING THE MAILBOXES.

UM, I MEAN, THAT, THAT IS SOMETHING I GUESS WE COULD DO.

I, THAT'S REALLY UP TO THE POST OFFICE WHETHER THEY WOULD ALLOW THEM TO MOVE OR NOT.

THANK YOU SUPERVISOR SEYMOUR.

UH, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? UM, CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A CLARIFYING QUESTION.

UH, YOU MADE A COMMENT AND YOU SAID, UM, THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN COVERAGE, SO WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE TOWER THERE IF THERE WASN'T GONNA BE A CHANGE IN COVERAGE? UH, AND THAT COMMENT WAS RELATED TO THAT AREA, TWO TO THREE MILES NORTH, UM, THAT WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF THE COVERAGE.

SO THAT, THAT AREA, AS WAS STATED, UH, DOES HAVE SOME COVERAGE FROM OUR LARGE GUIDE TOWER, UH, THAT WE CALL EASY THREE SNOWFLAKE NORTH OF SNOWFLAKE ITSELF, THAT COVERS OVER TO THE EAST AND STARTS TO GET TO SOME OF THESE HOUSES.

THE PRIMARY, THIS SITE WILL COVER TO THE NORTH AND THEN ALSO COVER EAST AND WEST ALONG THE ROADWAY.

SO THAT'S THE PRIMARY AREA OF COVERAGE.

I MEAN, THE SITE'S NOT GOING TO GREATLY INCREASE WHERE THESE FOLKS LIVE AT OR TO THE NORTH OF THEM.

IT WILL NOT GREATLY INCREASE THE, THE COVERAGE OR THE ENERGY LEVELS THAT, THAT THEY'LL SEE.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT WHEN I SAID THAT IT WON'T CHANGE THE COVERAGE MUCH, IT WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE IT ALONG THE ROADWAY HERE AND FILL IN THIS GAP.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTION? YES.

UM, YES.

DO WE HAVE A NUMBER ON POPULATION IMPACT? DO WE KNOW? I DO NOT HAVE SPECIFIC NUMBERS ON POPS FOR, SORRY, THAT, THAT'S OUR TERM, UM, ON THE POPULATION IMPACT AND THE AMOUNT OF, UH, VEHICLES THAT TRAVEL BY THIS INTERSECTION EVERY DAY.

I MEAN, I CAN TELL YOU IN SITTING THERE TWO HOURS, I DID SEE THE SCHOOL BUS CAME BY.

UH, I TALKED TO FOUR PEOPLE WHEN I WAS DOING MY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WHO JUST PULLED UP TO CHECK THEIR MAIL OR, OR WERE WAITING FOR KIDS.

AND IN THAT TIME BETWEEN, THERE WERE SEVERAL HUNDRED CARS THAT DROVE BY JUST SITTING THERE.

IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BUSIER TIMES OF DAY.

UM, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A TON OF HOMES NECESSARILY IMPACTED.

IT WILL BE PRIMARILY FOLKS TRAVELING, UH, EAST AND WEST ALONG THE MAIN ROADWAY AND THEN NORTH ALONG WHITE ANTELOPE ROAD.

BUT YEAH, I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC POPS THAT, THAT THIS WOULD IMPACT.

AND USUALLY WE GET INTO THAT MORE IF THERE IS EXISTING COVERAGE.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A CASE WHERE THERE IS GOOD COVERAGE, SO IT, IT BECOMES MORE QUESTION OF COVERAGE VERSUS CAPACITY.

AND THIS REALLY IS A COVERAGE SITE, NOT SO MUCH A, A CAPACITY NEED KINDA SITE, WHICH IS A HARD THING TO ARGUE.

AND IN A SENSE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S AN, A LARGE, IF WE DON'T KNOW SPECIFICS ON POPULATION IMPACT, THAT MAKES IT KIND OF DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND DIRECTLY HOW MANY CITIZENS ARE GOING TO BE IMPACTED.

UM, HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE TOWER? I HAVE NOT SPECIFICALLY RECEIVED COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE TOWER.

BEFORE WE GO TO STAFF, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME? OKAY, THANK YOU.

CODY, DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSES? LISTEN, I'M NOT SURE THAT I HAVE ANY PARTICULAR RESPONSES.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

UM, JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT, UH, AGAIN HERE, IF THE, IF THE BOARD FEELS THAT THE THE APPLICATION IS INCOMPLETE, OUR ORDINANCE DOES ALLOW FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF EVIDENCE INCLUDING COVERAGE MAPS.

BUT IF THEY FEEL THAT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH OF A JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS, THEY CAN REQUIRE FURTHER STUDIES OF THE APPLICANT, UM, THROUGH TABLING AND REQUIRING THOSE.

AND THEY CAN ALSO REQUIRE THE, THE USAGE OF AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT, WHICH WOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE APPLICANT SO THAT NO PUBLIC MONIES ARE, ARE EXPENDED THROUGH THAT REVIEW IF THEY FELT THAT THAT WAS GOING TO, UH, HELP THEM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WITH THEIR, UM, DECISION.

UH, IF THEY TRULY FEEL THAT IT'S INCOMPLETE, THAT IS A, A REASON THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR DENIAL.

AND THEN WITH REGARD TO THE, THE PROPERTY VALUES, THAT ONE IS WHOLLY OUTSIDE OF THE, THE PURVIEW OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WITH WHAT WE CONSIDER.

UM, BUT LEGAL MAY BE ABLE TO ADVISE.

I, I DON'T KNOW ON THAT ONE.

THAT ONE'S OUTSIDE OF OUR, OUR SCOPE HERE.

UM, BUT POTENTIALLY COULD BE WITHIN THE BOARD SCOPE FOR CONSIDERATIONS THEY MAKE.

UM, OTHER THAN BEING A NEIGHBOR AND SOMEBODY THAT THAT CARES ABOUT IT, UM, AND SHARES IN YOUR CARE ABOUT IT, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THIS BOARD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO GOVERN OVER.

UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I WANT TO KIND OF RUN THROUGH HERE.

A COUPLE THINGS, UM, THAT QUESTIONS ON AND WHERE I VERIFY.

SO IN MY NOTES HERE, I MADE A NOTE, THE FIRST ONE ON HEALTH.

AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY CONCERNING AND I WANT POINT OUT TO PEOPLE THAT PLEASE KNOW THAT AT LEAST FOR ME, AND I WON'T SPEAK FOR THE REST OF THE BOARD, BUT, UM, WE HEAR YOU AND WE CAN SEE THAT THIS IS OF CONCERN TO YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH.

THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU LIVE IN THAT AREA, UM, AND WHY YOU'VE CHOSEN TO LIVE THERE.

YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING IT, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US, UM, OR IMPORTANT TO ME.

BUT WHAT, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AS WE TALK ABOUT THOSE HEALTH ISSUES,

[02:30:01]

UM, IS THAT CORRECT, BRAD? I DEFER TO BRENT ON THE QUESTIONS OF THIS.

HE'S MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE FCC RULES AND THE RULES.

PERFECT.

BRENT, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE ON THE LINE WITH US.

YES, CHAIRMAN, I AM HERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD MY QUESTION OR NOT, BUT I HA I TALKED ABOUT HOW WE SHARE IN THE CONCERN OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT BROUGHT UP THEIR HEALTH CONCERNS.

THERE'S CLEARLY A REASON WHY THEY LIVE IN THAT AREA AND THEY'VE GONE TO, UM, A LOT OF WORK TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A DEGREE OF PROTECTION THAT THEY APPRECIATE.

NOW, MY CON UNDERSTANDING IS HOWEVER, THAT WHILE WE MAY SHARE IN THEIR CONCERN, THIS BOARD DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY, UM, TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH CONCERNS THAT'S DEALT WITH BY DIFFERENT GOVERNING BODY.

IS THAT CORRECT? UH, YES.

UH, CHAIRMAN, THE, UH, THE, THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT PROHIBITS THE, UH, THE LOCAL BOARD FROM DENYING A CELL PHONE TOWER BASED UPON, UM, UH, UH, HEALTH RELATED MATTERS AND THE, AND THE, AND THE, UH, FREQUENCY THAT THAT'S GIVEN OFF BY THE, UH, UM, BY THESE, UH, THESE TOWERS.

SPECIFIC MANNER IN WHICH THE BOARD COULD MAKE A REQUEST IS THAT, UH, THEY COULD ASK FOR THE, UH, THE ACTUAL, UH, DRIVE-BY DATA, UM, TO LOOK AT, UM, THE, WHETHER OR NOT THERE, UM, YOU KNOW, HAVE, HAVE THE APPLICANT DRIVE THE AREA AND GIVE US THE DRIVE-BY DATA AND FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT THE COVERAGE AREA IS IN THERE.

THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THAT.

NOW THEN THIS OTHER ONE WILL BE FOR YOU AS WELL.

THEY TALKED ABOUT, UM, THEY, AND I, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SAID LEGAL OPINION OR BRIEF OR, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY JUST RECENTLY SUBMITTED.

HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT AND CAN RESPOND? UH, YES.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE HAD THE, UH, OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE, UH, THE, UM, LEGAL OPINION THAT WAS PROVIDED BY, UH, THOSE WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THE, UH, THE TOWER.

UM, I, THE, THE SPECIFICALLY, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AS FAR, THEY, THEY DID PROVIDE A VERY EXTENSIVE, UH, LEGAL OPINION TO US.

THEY, THEY PROVIDED, UH, VARIOUS DOCUMENTS FROM, UM, FROM MANY OF THOSE WHO ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS AREA, THEIR SIGNED AFFIDAVITS.

UH, IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO RESPOND TO AS, AS PERTAINING TO THE MEMO OR, WELL, THE GROUP PRESENTED THAT, UM, WANTING THESE TOWERS TO NOT COME THERE, AND AFTER YOUR REVIEW OF IT AND GIVING KIND OF SOME LEGAL ADVICE TO THE BOARD, IS THERE ITEMS INSIDE OF THAT THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER OR BE CONCERNED ABOUT AS FAR AS VOTING TO APPROVE THIS OR NOT? UM, SO, SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT, UH, THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE APPRECIATE THOSE INDIVIDUALS BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION AND BRINGING THE, UH, THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS DOCUMENT AS WELL AS THE, UH, UH, THE AFFIDAVITS FROM THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS.

I KNOW THAT THEY DID PROVIDE, UM, ALSO, UH, INFORMATION FROM, UH, TWO LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENTS WHO ARE IN THE AREA, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, DEALING WITH THE PROPERTY VALUES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

UM, SO, SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT, UH, THE, THE STANDARD FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST ELEMENT THAT THEY PUT IN THERE IS THAT THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE, UH, THE, THE, THE CODE FOR, UH, NAVAJO COUNTY, UM, SPECIFICALLY SECTIONS 2 0 2, UH, 2 0 0 2, AND 2 5 21.

UM, AND THAT ULTIMATELY IS A DECISION THAT IS LEFT UP TO THE BOARD.

THAT'S A LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT, UH, SBAS, UH, APPLICATION, UM, ADHERES TO, UH, TO THAT SECTION OF THE CODE.

AND, AND, UH, SO THAT, THAT REALLY IS, I, I CAN'T OPINE ONTO THAT.

THAT'S REALLY, UH, WITHIN THE, THE, UH, THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO DETERMINE IF THIS MEETS THOSE, UH, THAT, THAT THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

UM, THE OTHER ASPECT OF IT IS, UM, THAT THEY, THEY BROUGHT UP IS THAT THERE WOULD BE A, UM, UH, UM, A THAT, THAT THERE'S, THERE'S EVIDENCE THAT THE, UH, UH, THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PROPOSED TOWER IS, UM, NECESSARY FOR ANY WIRELESS CARRIER TO PROVIDE PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICES IN NAVAJO COUNTY OR ANYWHERE ELSE.

UM, IN THAT ONE, UM, THERE IS A, YOU KNOW, A STANDARD THAT, UH, WE WOULD LOOK AT WOULD BE WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S A SUBSTANTIAL GAP IN SERVICE AND IF THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL GAP IN SERVICE, IS THIS THE LEAST INTRUSIVE METHOD IN WHICH THE, UM, UH, THE CARRIER IS GOING TO PLACE THAT.

AND SO, UM, I KNOW THAT THEY DID PUT FORTH SOME, SOME EVIDENCE, UH, CLAIMING THAT THE, UM, COVERAGE MAPS ARE, ARE, ARE, ARE, ARE NOT ABLE TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

UM, I BELIEVE THAT'S JUST FACTUALLY INADEQUATE OR FACTUALLY INACCURATE.

UH, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CAN LOOK AT THE COVERAGE MAPS AND DECIDE, MAKE THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT, UH, THESE, UM, ITEMS CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR THE AREA.

HOWEVER, UM, A MORE, UH,

[02:35:02]

AND ALSO THEY COULD LOOK AT, UM, WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S DROP CALL DATA IN THE AREA.

UM, AND THAT WOULD BE A MORE EXTENSIVE EVALUATION, UH, OVER THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, UM, THE MAPS THEMSELVES.

BUT THE MAPS THEMSELVES, UM, YOU CAN, YOU CAN CONSIDER THEM, UH, IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO A MORE IN DEPTH, UH, EVALUATION OF THAT.

UM, THE, UH, UH, THE, THERE ARE MECHANISMS IN PLACE FOR SBA TO DO, TO GIVE US MORE ACCURATE DATA THAN THE MAPS, BUT YOU, YOU CAN CONSIDER THEM.

UH, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT, UH, THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE, UH, THE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR IF YOU WANT IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS, THERE IS MORE WAYS TO GET THE, UH, MORE, MORE MEANINGFUL PROBATIVE DATA.

UM, AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS THE, THE ALL ALLEGATION THAT THE, UM, UM, THE, THAT, THAT THIS, UH, IF THESE TOWERS GO INTO THE AREA, THAT IT WILL DRAMATICALLY DECREASE THE, UH, THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE AREA.

UM, AT THIS POINT, I KNOW THAT THE, UH, THE, THE, THOSE WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS, IT'S SUPPLIED TWO LETTERS FROM LOCAL, UM, REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS.

UM, IN READING BOTH OF THOSE LETTERS, UM, I APPRECIATE THE, UM, UH, THE OPINIONS OF THOSE TWO REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND THE, THEIR, YOU KNOW, THE, THE LEVEL OF, UM, UM, TIME AND ENERGY THEY'VE SPENT WORKING WITH THIS COMMUNITY AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

HOWEVER, UM, BOTH OF THOSE LETTERS ARE, UM, AS THEY'VE GIVEN THEIR OPINIONS, THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY KIND OF MARKET DATA OR ANY KIND OF INDICATIONS, LIKE ANY KIND OF, UM, YOU KNOW, AS, AS WE'RE ASKING THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE DATA AS FAR AS COVERAGE SERVICE, AND, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, VERY SPECIFIC, UM, DATA AS TO THE, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL GAP IN SERVICE IN THIS AREA.

I WOULD ALSO, UM, IN ORDER TO, YOU KNOW, ENSURE THE VALIDITY OF THESE, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT THE, THE DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUES, I THINK FOR THE, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, UM, TO DENY THIS APPLICATION BASED, UM, OFF OF THAT, YOU, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF, UM, UH, EVALUATION AND WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW THE CRITERIA THAT THE TWO REAL ESTATE AGENTS UTILIZED, UM, IN THE, UM, IN THEIR, UM, WHAT, WHAT BROUGHT THEM TO THOSE DECISION MAKING.

UM, BECAUSE I, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT IT WOULD BE DEFENSIBLE FOR US TO SAY, YES, THEY'RE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU COULD LOSE UP TO 50% OF YOUR CURRENT VALUE, UM, IF WE, IF THEY DON'T PROVIDE US WITH ANY OF THE DATA THAT THEY USE TO GET TO THAT 50%.

SO, OKAY.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION? SURE, PLEASE.

INTO, UM, THE, THE, UH, THE ACTUAL COST AND THE ACTUAL PROPERTY VALUE OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S, UM, ASSETS.

R CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION, UM, REGARDING, UH, THE PROPERTY VALUE? SO IF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OR, SO, IF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BASED ON, UM, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM REALTORS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND THEY PROVIDED APPROPRIATE EVIDENCE THAT THERE WAS IN FACT, UM, DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE, IS THAT A POSITION WHERE THE DECISION COULD BE IMPACTED BASED ON THAT? RIGHT NOW, WE CAN'T BASE THE DECISION BASED ON THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE, WE'RE ASSUMING THAT JUST BASED ON AN OPINION WITH NO DATA TO SUPPORT THAT, THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE, UM, THAT WOULDN'T BE A, A GOOD PRACTICE.

BUT IF WE HAD DATA TO SUPPORT THAT, THE DECREASE OF PROPERTY VALUE, THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION.

UH, YES.

UM, SUPERVISOR WEINGER, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT THE POSITION, IF, IF THE COUNTY DENIED THIS APPLICATION, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE COULD DEFEND THIS IN COURT BASED UPON THE LETTERS OF THE TWO, UH, REAL ESTATE AGENTS BECAUSE I, UM, I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH, UH, DATA TO, TO, TO SUBSTANTIATE THE OPINIONS PUT FORTH BY THOSE TWO LENDERS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE ANY KIND OF MARKET RESEARCH THAT INDICATES, UM, THAT DROP.

AND THEN ALSO THE OTHER PART OF THIS TOO IS, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, ANYTIME WE LOOK AT, UH, A DECREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE, UM, IT'S, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT BECAUSE OF THE VOLATILITY OF THE MARKET.

UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THERE'S, THERE'S MORE, UH, MORE, UM, FACTORS PLAY INTO, UH, PROPERTY VALUES THAN, UM, JUST ONE ITEM.

UM, SO THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD, UH, PLAY A ROLE

[02:40:01]

SO THAT WE, IT'S, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO, TO, TO, TO SAY SPECIFICALLY LIKE, YES, THIS PROPERTY WILL BE DECREASED BECAUSE OF THIS, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO IT.

SO, UM, AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T, UM, I CAN'T SAY YES IF WE DEF IF WE DE DENY THIS BECAUSE OF THE TWO LETTERS PUT FORTH THAT WE WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN COURT BECAUSE THIS, UM, THERE, THERE'S NO BACKUP DATA TO SUBSTANTIATE IT.

A FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THAT, SO IF, UM, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WAS TABLED WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO EVALUATE PROPERTY VALUE, UM, WOULD THAT BE SUITABLE OR DO WE, IN LISTENING TO YOU, I FEEL LIKE THAT, UM, THAT'S A HARD THING TO EVALUATE WHEN YOU'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MARKET VALUE AND SO FORTH.

UM, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? YEAH, I WOULD IT, UM, I, THE, THE, THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO ABOUT DOING THIS WOULD BE ENGAGING THE SERVICES OF APPRAISERS.

UM, AND LOOKING AT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HOMES AND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE LAST, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK AT A TIME PERIOD AS TO WHEN, YOU KNOW, UM, THE, THESE, THESE TYPES OF PROPERTIES AND BOUGHT AND SOLD.

AND THEN YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK AT, UH, BECAUSE OF THE, THE, UH, ASSERTION THAT THESE ARE UNIQUE PROPERTIES THAT INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ARE LOOKING FOR.

UM, YOUR, YOU KNOW, THE, UM, THE COMPARABLE MARKET, IT'S GONNA BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN JUST THE HOMES IN THIS AREA.

UM, BUT YEAH, SO IF YOU WANTED TO, IF, IF, IF, IF THE DESIRE OF THE BOARD WAS TO TABLE THIS MATTER TO GAIN MORE, UM, INFORMATION, UH, ABOUT THE, UH, ASSERTION THAT THESE, UH, PROPERTY VALUES ARE GONNA BE SIGNIFICANTLY BE, UM, DECREASED YOU, UM, YOU DEFINITELY CAN DO THAT.

UM, THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE, THE LEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF ADVISORS TO DO THAT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU CHAIRMAN.

NO PROBLEM.

ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DON'T HAVE ANY.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.

I KNOW ONE OF THE OTHER ITEMS I JUST WANNA HIGHLIGHT THAT, UM, WAS TALKED ABOUT THERE WAS SOME MISSING INFORMATION.

UM, CODY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU TALKED ABOUT OR THAT WAS ADDRESSED, BUT WHAT INFORMATION IS MISSING AS FAR AS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE? YEAH, SO AS FAR AS THIS APPLICATION, IT WAS ACCEPTED BY STAFF, UM, JUST TO TALK ABOUT A FEW OF THE POINTS THAT WERE THERE WITH THE ORDINANCE, IT DOES NOTE PHOTO SIMULATIONS FROM THE NEAREST FIVE HOMES WITHIN THOSE TWO MILES.

HOWEVER, IF THOSE HOMES HAPPEN TO BE CLUSTERED IN ONE PARTICULAR AREA, THAT WOULD STILL BE THE NEAREST FIVE HOMES.

IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THE NEAREST ONE TO THE NORTH AND THE WEST AND THE EAST AND THE SOUTH, IT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE.

THERE'S FIVE DIRECTIONS THERE, UM, TO RUN THAT WAY.

SO FROM THE NEAREST WE, WE DID HAVE THE NEAREST CLUSTER OF FIVE HOMES THERE.

IT ALSO DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A PHOTO, PHOTO SIMULATION 10 FEET APART.

YOU'RE SEEING THE, THE SAME AREA THERE AS FAR AS MEETING THE INTENT OF THIS ORDINANCE.

AND THEN AS FAR AS THE, THE COVERAGE AND ESTABLISHING THAT GAP, THERE'S MULTIPLE MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH THAT CAN BE ESTABLISHED.

UM, THE ORDINANCE ITSELF STATES THAT AS A PART OF THE NARRATIVE, THE APPLICANT IS ABLE TO BRING FORTH THEIR EVIDENCE AND THEN IT'S UP TO, UH, STAFF AND THE BOARD TO DETERMINE IF THEY FEEL THAT'S ADEQUATE.

UM, SO IF THE BOARD FEELS AT THIS TIME THAT THAT'S NOT ADEQUATE, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN SUPPLIED BY THE APPLICANT, UM, THEN THEY COULD REQUEST THAT FURTHER DATA.

UM, DID JUST WANT TO ADVISE WHILE I'M UP HERE, 'CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS MIGHT BE HEADING TOWARDS A DECISION.

IF YOU WERE LOOKING TO TABLE THIS, STAFF WOULD JUST ADVISE THAT YOU DON'T TABLE BEYOND THE NOVEMBER HEARING, AND THAT'S JUST DUE TO THE FCCS 150 DAY SHOCK CLOCK THROUGH WHICH APPROVAL OR DENIAL NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED.

UM, WHICH WILL HAVE PASSED AT THE END OF NOVEMBER.

SO THAT WOULD JUST BE THE ADVICE OF STAFF IF THE BOARD CONSIDERED THAT.

SO THIS WASN'T ADMINISTRATIVELY CONSIDERED APPROVED BY THE FCC.

SO WHAT, WHAT'S THE DATE YOU'RE SAYING IN NOVEMBER? IT'S IN LATE NOVEMBER.

I CAN PULL THE EXACT DATE THERE.

IT WOULD BE FOLLOWING THE HEARING FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN NOVEMBER.

WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AS FAR AS THE 150 DAYS IN CASE THAT WAS FOR CONSIDERATION WITH THE BOARD, OUR FIRST OR SECOND MEETING, WE ONLY HAVE ONE THAT, THAT MONTH, SO ON THE 12TH.

SO IT WOULD BE BEFORE THAT OR WE WOULD NEED TO DO IT BY THEN.

E EITHER APPROVAL OR DENIAL BY THAT DATE.

OTHERWISE THE FCC WILL CONSIDER THIS APPROVED WITHOUT OUR INPUT AS A JURISDICTION.

HMM.

BRENT TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING INSIDE OF THAT DATA, NOT ONLY IN THE COVERAGE MAPS, BUT SUPPORTING THAT IN WHICH YOU'VE DONE SO.

I I HAVE A COUPLE JUST QUESTIONS THEN.

AND ONE OF 'EM WILL, WILL BE FOR THE APPLICANT.

THE APPLICANT AS I HEARD IT, AND I WANNA MAKE SURE I HEARD IT CORRECTLY, BUT THE APPLICANT, UM, I THOUGHT WAS SUGGESTING THAT THEY ARE OPEN TO, UM, PROVIDING FURTHER DATA IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

IF, AND

[02:45:01]

BUT TALKING ABOUT THE NEED, UM, WHILE YOU GAVE WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED WHEN YOU WERE THERE AND HAD SO MANY VEHICLES, IT'D BE GOOD TO HAVE, UM, SOLID DATA ON THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT ARE TRAVELING THAT ROAD.

AND SO WHAT THAT'S SUPPORTING, UH, FOR ME THAT WOULD BE USEFUL THAT YOU'VE ACKNOWLEDGED OR WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM YOU IS THAT THE INTENT IS TO SERVE A LOT OF THOSE THAT ARE TRAVELING ON THAT ROAD AND THAT IT DOESN'T REALLY DO A TON FOR THE, THE HOMES THAT ARE IN THAT AREA, IF I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY.

AND SO DATA THAT SUPPORTS THAT COULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE AS FAR AS COVERAGE AND WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS.

IS THAT ENOUGH TIME TO BE ABLE TO, BY NOVEMBER 12TH, PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT WE COULD REVIEW AND CONSIDER MR. CHAIRMAN? UH, YEAH, WE, WE CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DATA.

I'D PROBABLY REACH OUT TO THE, UH, COUNTY, THE ROAD FOLKS AND UH, SEE IF THEY HAVE DATA ON THAT, UH, TRAVEL ON THAT ROADWAY THAT'S RECENT.

THEY MAY HAVE THAT ALREADY.

UM, AS FAR AS IF YOU NEED ANY, UH, DRIVE DATA FOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, I KNOW, UH, THE QUESTION HAD COME UP FROM, UH, SUPERVISOR WEINGER, UH, ABOUT MAYBE GETTING SOME ADDITIONAL DATA THERE.

WE COULD PROBABLY HAVE THE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TEAM COME OUT IF YOU WANTED ADDITIONAL DATA ON THE, THE ACTUAL COVERAGE NEED.

UM, AND THEN WE COULD CHECK ON THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT PASS BY THERE.

'CAUSE YEAH, I MEAN IT IS, IT IS ENTIRELY ANECDOTAL WHAT I'M SAYING WHEN, OH, YEP, I'M SITTING HERE AND I'M SEEING HOW MANY CARS, I WAS NOT SITTING THERE COUNTING THEM SPECIFICALLY AND I DIDN'T DO IT OVER A PERIOD OF DAYS OR ANYTHING.

SO NO UNDERSTOOD AND APPRECIATED.

SO THERE WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT ADDITIONAL DATA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AS FAR AS, 'CAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS IN QUESTION I'M HEARING HERE IS THE NEED.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP.

SO, UM, THE OTHER ONE, AND THIS ONE REALLY, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A RESPONSE TODAY, BUT RECOGNIZING THAT THOSE IN OPPOSITION, 'CAUSE THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY A PERSON, IT'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY, AT LEAST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS PROPERTY VALUES AND DID A GOOD JOB OF OUTLINING HOW YOU'VE SPENT POTENTIALLY MORE MONEY ON THE BUILDING OF YOUR HOMES AND THOSE INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OUT INTO THAT AREA.

UM, BRENT TALKED ABOUT, UM, GETTING ADDITIONAL DATA BEYOND A LETTER THAT SHOWS MARKET DRIVEN DATA ON WHAT IT WOULD DO IF A TOWER CAME IN.

UM, SO THAT WOULD BE USEFUL IF, IF IN FACT THIS WAS TABLED, BUT FOR THAT MEETING TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF DATA.

AND HERE'S THE OTHER THING, AND THIS IS JUST FROM ME AND MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE.

I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS FIELD, BUT HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE IN IT.

UM, I KNOW FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE I PEOPLE PUTTING, UM, SOLAR PANELS ON THEIR HOME, THERE'S AN INVESTMENT WHEN THEY GO IN AND DO THAT AND SOMETIMES A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT WHEN THEY DO THAT.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF DISPUTE YOU'LL HEAR FROM SOME OF THE SOLAR COMPANIES, WHICH MAY BE TRUE THAT OH YEAH, YOU CAN RECOVER THAT WHEN YOU GO IN AND YOU GET YOUR HOME APPRAISED, IT'LL SHOW UP.

UM, THE BANK WILL LOAN ON THAT.

I HAVEN'T PERSONALLY ACTUALLY SEEN THAT PLAY OUT.

I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN IT GO THE OTHER DIRECTION WHERE WHEN THEY DO THE APPRAISALS FOR THE LOAN, THEY DON'T TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

THAT WAS AN INVESTMENT THAT WAS MADE.

UM, BUT THE ABILITY TO RECOUP THAT AND HAVE A BANK ACTUALLY GIVE A LOAN, UM, ON THAT AS A CONSIDERATION OF THE APPRAISAL, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, BUT IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION TO MAKE A DETERMINATION, WELL, FROM AN APPRAISER, YOU KNOW, WOULD THEY ACTUALLY CONSIDER THOSE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS AS A PART OF THE LOAN OR THE VALUE OF THE HOME WHEN CONSIDERING MARKET VALUE.

THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING IF IT GOT MOVED TO BEING, UH, TABLED.

SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR THAT, FOR THE, THOSE THAT ARE IN OPPOSITION.

UM, THOSE WERE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD LOOKED AT, UM, AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE WAS CONSIDERING OR AT LEAST HAD A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE BOARD, JUST THE MAILBOXES THAT WE LOOK AND SEE IF THAT'S A POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY? I I CAN CALL THE POST OFFICE ON THAT.

YEAH, SO YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT AND REPORT BACK TO US ON, AND THEN OF COURSE THAT'S JUST FEEDING BACK TO US INFORMATION AS FAR AS WHAT THE POSTAL SERVICE WILL DO.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE CITIZENS WANT THAT TO OCCUR.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN LOOK INTO IT AND REPORT BACK.

IS THAT EVEN A POSSIBILITY THAT THE CITIZENS MAY WANT, SHOULD IT GO FORWARD? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE WANTING? UH, CHAIRMAN, SUPERVISOR SEYMOUR? YES.

SUPERVISOR.

ARE YOU TALKING LIKE MOVING A FEW HUNDRED FEET OR MOVING TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INTERSECTION? I MEAN I WHATEVER WOULD SATISFY THE PEOPLE OF THEIR SAFETY.

TIME TO WORK ON JUSTIFYING HIS POSITION, I WOULD LIKE, I WOULD ASK FOR US TO HAVE THIS EQUAL EXTRA TIME.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? OKAY, MAY, MAY I SAY THAT IF I'M SORRY, INTERRUPTING WE, UH, COULD WE HAVE EXTRA TIME ALSO, IF MR. DERY IS GOING TO HAVE EXTRA

[02:50:01]

I APOLOGIZE.

SO, SO WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION OF IT, IT'S UM, A LITTLE OUT AND YOU'RE OKAY.

'CAUSE YOU DID, I KNOW YOU DIDN'T KNOW A LITTLE OUT OF LINE TO, TO COMMUNICATE IN THAT WAY, BUT I WANT TO ADDRESS THAT, UM, HOPEFULLY WHAT EVERYBODY'S HEARING IS THAT IF I'M NOT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BOARD'S GONNA DO, BUT IF THE BOARD CHOOSES TO TABLE THIS, IT'D BE LOOKED AT AGAIN OR IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BE LOOKED AT AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 12TH.

OF COURSE THAT WOULD GIVE THOSE THAT ARE IN OPPOSITION AN OPPORTUNITY TO THAT TIME TO TRY AND PUT SOME OF THIS INFORMATION TOGETHER.

UM, THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO BE ABLE AT THAT SAME TIME COME BACK, OPEN IT UP.

AM I WRONG? THERE'D BE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING.

YEAH, THERE'D BE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING, SO, UH, ABSOLUTELY.

UM, ANYWAYS, I HOPE THAT ADDRESSES YOUR QUESTION.

WHAT'S THE DESIRE OF THE BOARD? CHERYL MADE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS, UH, ASKING SOME OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE APPLICANT THAT WE HAVE STATED HERE TO COME BACK WITH SOME MORE DATA AS FAR AS THE COVERAGE ALSO FOR OUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE 25 21 AND TO LOOK AT THE GAP IN COVERAGE AS WELL AS, UH, MARKET VALUES ON THE PROPERTIES AND ALSO THE, THE MAILBOXES, THE TABLE AT, UH, OUR MEETING IN NOVEMBER 2ND.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY MORE DISCUSSION ARE NONE.

THIS HAS BEEN TABLED UNTIL OUR NOVEMBER MEETING.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 10.

APPRECIATE ALL APPLICANT AND THOSE THAT WERE HERE IN OPPOSITION FOR SHARING YOUR VOICES.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND TRAVEL SAFELY.

WHY DOESN'T OUR DECISION, WE LIVE THERE, WHY CAN'T THAT BE A CONSIDERATION? WHY? HOW COME YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DETERMINE IF WE LIVE OR DIE? THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

WE'LL GIVE 'EM A MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S

[a. Consideration of Agreement between the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) and Navajo County to receive $203,094.00 from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for the Joseph City sidewalk improvements construction project.]

PUBLIC WORKS.

OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC WORKS AND, UH, THE DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT ARE IN YOUR PACKET FOR YOUR REVIEW.

YEAH, IT'S STILL MORNING.

UH, GOOD MORNING MR. CHAIRMAN, VICE CHAIR AND SUPERVISORS.

UH, LAST YEAR, UH, BOARD OF SUPERVISOR, UH, SELECTED PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT, UH, JOSEPH CITY, SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS.

THIS PROJECT IS IN DISTRICT THREE, UH, TO RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS.

UH, SO THE AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU IS REGARDING THAT.

UM, THE AGREEMENT IS BETWEEN, IT IS IN OUR DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING THAT JUST A PASS THROUGH AGENCY TO RECEIVE HER FUNDS.

UH, FOR THIS PROJECT, UH, THE PROJECT IS ALREADY UNDER DEVELOPMENT WITH, UH, PUBLIC WORKS AND IT'S IN OUR FIVE YEAR PROGRAM.

UH, THESE FUNDS WILL PROVIDE PARTIAL FUNDING TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE PROJECT.

COUNTY IS ALREADY DOING DESIGN THROUGH ITS OWN FUNDS.

UH, THE PLAN IS TO, UH, TO ADVERTISE THIS PROJECT NEXT YEAR, SOMETIME IN SPRING, UH, FOR CONSTRUCTION.

UH, THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE SAFE, UH, ROUTE TO SCHOOLS BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS, UH, PEDESTRIAN ROUTE FOR, UH, KIDS AND AND THEIR PARENTS.

SO THE, IN ADDITION TO THESE FUNDS, IF YOU RECALL A FEW MONTHS AGO, UM, I CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND WE HAVE RECEIVED TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE FUNDS AS WELL.

SO THEY WILL SUPPLEMENT TO THESE, UH, 200 PLUS THOUSAND UH, DOLLARS.

UH, AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, UH, COUNTY WILL HAVE TO USE ITS OWN FUNDS TO, TO MAKE THIS PROJECT, UH, A COMPLETE PROJECT.

SO, SO THIS GRANT ONLY PROVIDES A PARTIAL FUNDING, UH, TOWARDS, UH, TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THIS PROJECT.

UH, UPON EXECUTION OF THE FUNDING AGREEMENT, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT, UH, ALL, UH, REQUIREMENTS, UH, TO SATISFY THE, UH, THE GRANT AGREEMENTS.

UH, ALSO, UH, THE DE THE DE THE DESIGNATED STAFF WILL BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE GRANT AND SIGN PAYMENT REQUEST RELATED TO, RELATED TO THIS GRANT, UH, THE COUNTY WILL RECEIVE PAYMENTS FROM A DOH ON THE REIMBURSEMENT BASIS.

AS THE PROJECT, UH, MOVES FORWARD, WE'LL HAVE TO SHOW PROGRESS AND, AND ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

SO, UM, THIS IS A GOOD, UH, GOOD FUNDING, UH,

[02:55:01]

UH, AT THIS TIME I'M REQUESTING A BOARD TO APPROVE THIS AGREEMENT.

THANK YOU, MANNY.

I'M USING MY FULL LEGAL NAME.

UH, GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS CHAIR AND UM, VICE CHAIR.

EACH OF YOU ARE HEREBY BEING SERVED WITH THE FOLLOWING NOTICE DATED SEPTEMBER 24TH, 2024 TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THE COUNTY SHERIFF OF NAVAJO COUNTY, ARIZONA, INCLUDING SUPERVISORS, JASON WHITING, DARRELL SEYMOUR FERN BENELLI, ALBERTO PEKA, DONNA FAYE WEINGER, AS WELL AS COUNTY ATTORNEY BRAD CARLY AND COUNTY SHERIFF DAVID KLAUS FROM THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY SAINTS OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST NOTICE TO AGENT IS NOTICE TO PRINCIPLE.

AND NOTICE TO PRINCIPLE IS NOTICE TO AGENT.

WE THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY AND OF THESE UNITED STATES COME TO YOU WITH THIS CEASE AND DESIST NOTICE TO INFORM YOU OF YOUR VIOLATION OF THE UNITED STATES AND ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONS, AS WELL AS MULTIPLE ARIZONA STATE STATUTES.

IT IS HEREBY DEMANDED THAT YOU IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST FROM THE USE OF ALL CONTRACTED MACHINES, SYSTEMS AND OTHER COMPUTER PROGRAMS, ALGORITHMS, MACHINES, ET CETERA, WHICH ARE AN INTERFERENCE TO THE PEOPLE'S ELECTORAL PROCESS CONTRACTING.

CONTRARY TO THE PREVAILING PRACTICE, THE CURRENT ELECTORAL PROCESSES HAVE BEEN A CONTINUING INTERFERENCE OF THE PEOPLE'S ELECTIONS AS SEEN IN ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.

ARTICLE TWO SECTION 21, FREE AND EQUAL ELECTIONS.

ALL ELECTIONS SHALL BE FREE AND EQUAL AND NO POWER, CIVIL OR MILITARY SHALL AT ANY TIME INTERFERE TO PREVENT THE FREE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

THE UNITED STATES

[03:00:01]

THERE CAN BE NO RULEMAKING OR LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD ABROGATE THEM.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN MULTIPLE NOTICES AND AFFIDAVITS INFORMING THEM THAT THE PEOPLE'S INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND ELECTORAL PROCESS ARE BEING TRESPASSED DUE TO REPUGNANT LEGISLATIVE ACTS, STATUTES, RULES, CODES, POLICIES, AND BY WAY OF MALADMINISTRATION A LIST OF THESE LEGISLATIVE ACTS AND STATUTES.

STATUTES ARE AS FOLLOWS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

HI, MY NAME IS LIZ OLMSTED AND I LIVE AT 7 0 9 3 TUMBLEWEE TRAIL IN CHOLO.

THE STATE OF ARIZONA LEGISLATURE CODIFIED HAVA BY ENACTING ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES TITLE 16, WHICH FURTHER ALLOWED THE STATE'S 15 COUNTIES TO ENTER INTO UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONTRACTS WITH CORPORATIONS THAT OWN AND OPERATE THE SYSTEMS, MACHINES, OR DEVICES AS REQUIRED BY HAVA AND THE ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES.

THESE SAME CORPORATIONS, ALONG WITH UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH ARIZONA'S GOVERNMENT, STATE AND COUNTIES REMOVE THE PEOPLE'S ELECTORAL PROCESS BY REQUIRING CORPORATION'S OWN PERSONAL TO MANAGE THE VOTING SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO DURING AND AFTER ELECTION DAY.

DUE TO THE CORPORATION'S USE OF PROPRIETARY PROPERTY AND OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BASED ON UNCONSTITUTIONAL AGREEMENTS, THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY ARE UNABLE TO OBSERVE NAVAJO COUNTY'S PROPER ELECTRICAL CHAIN OF CUSTODY OF THE PEOPLE'S BALLOTS.

THE STATE OF ARIZONA'S GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATIONS CONTRACTED BY THEM REMOVE THE PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO OBSERVE THE COUNTY OF COUNTY OF BALLOTS THEREBY SUBVERTING THE CHAIN OF CUSTODY.

THIS IS AN INTERFERENCE WITH THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT OF FREE AND EQUAL ELECTIONS.

THEREFORE, THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY ARE DISENFRANCHISED.

THIS DISENFRANCHISEMENT MUST CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY.

ALL ARIZONA ELECTIONS ARE TO BE HELD BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CONFEDERACY AND CORPORATIONS, UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE ONE, SECTION FOUR, THE TIMES, PLACES, AND MANNER OF HOLDING ELECTIONS FOR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE PRESCRIBED IN EACH STATE BY THE LEGISLATURE THEREOF ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.

ARTICLE SEVEN, SECTION ONE, METHOD OF VOTING SECRECY.

ALL ELECTIONS BY THE PEOPLE SHALL BE BY BALLOT OR BY SUCH OTHER METHOD AS MAY BE PRESCRIBED BY LAW, PROVIDED THAT SECRECY AND VOTING SHALL BE PRESERVED.

ANY LAW, FEDERAL OR STATE THAT ALLOWS FOR A MAL ADMINISTRATION IN YOUR ATION OF POWERS AND VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS MUST BE TERMINATED AND IMMEDIATELY DECLARED NOEL AND VOID.

THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY HAVE NOT GRANTED ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, WHICH AUTHORIZES GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS TO ASSUME POWERS OUTSIDE OF THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.

ALL SUCH ASSUME POWERS AND AUTHORITY ARE IN FACT BY LAW NOEL AND VOID AND ARE A TRESPASS MAKING THEM A CRIME.

MARBURY V MADISON, A LARGE REPT TO THE CONSTITUTION IS VOID AN ACT OF CONGRESS.

REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION CANNOT BECOME LAW.

THE CONSTITUTION SUPERSEDES ALL OTHER LAWS AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHTS SHALL BE LITERALLY IN ENFORCED IN FAVOR OF HIM, THE CLEARLY INTENDED AND ESPECIALLY DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY.

VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

THANK YOU MARY.

MARY, UH, LOOKS LIKE COING.

GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN WHITING, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I'M MARY JANE KOCH AND I LIVE IN OVER GUARD ARIZONA NORTON VERSUS SHELBY COUNTY.

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACT IS NOT LAW.

IT CONFERS NO RIGHTS AND IMPOSES NO DUTIES, AFFORDS NO PROTECTION.

IT CREATES NO OFFICE.

IT IS ILLEGAL CONTEMPLATION AS IN OPERATIVE AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN PASSED.

CHARLES WEISSMAN'S MAXIMUMS OF LAW NUMBER 71, THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE SUPREME LAW.

MCINERNEY V IRVIN, BASED ON UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL MANDATES, HAA, THE ARIZONA LEGISLATURE INAPPROPRIATELY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY IMPLEMENTED UNLAWFUL STATE STATUTES FOUND IN A RS TITLE 16 ADDRESSING

[03:05:01]

THE ARIZONA LEGISLATURE IN ADOPTING UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL GUIDELINES COMMITTED MALADMINISTRATION AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTION SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL LAW, ALLOWING FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS TO REFUSE TO BE BOUND BY THOSE UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL LAWS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MARK THOMAS AND THEN STEVE, YOU'LL BE UP NEXT AFTER MARK ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONAL ARTICLE TWO, SECTION THREE, SUPREME LAW OF LAND AUTHORITY TO EXERCISE SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY AGAINST FEDERAL ACTION, USE OF GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES.

A, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES IS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND TO WHICH ALL GOVERNMENT STATE AND FEDERALIST SUBJECT B.

TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE'S FREEDOMS AND TO PRESERVE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE CONSTITUTION.

THIS STATE MAY EXERCISE ITS SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY TO RESTRICT THE ACTION OF ITS PERSONNEL AND USE OF ITS FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PURPOSES THAT ARE CONS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSTITUTION BY DOING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING.

ONE, PASSING AN IN INITIATIVE OR REFERENDUM PURSUANT TO ARTICLE FOUR, PART ONE, SECTION ONE TWO, PASSING A BILL PURSUANT TO ARTICLE FOUR, PART TWO, ARTICLE FIVE, SECTION SEVEN THREE.

PURSUING ANY OTHER AVAILABLE LEGAL REMEDIES IF THE PEOPLE OR THE REPRESENT REPRESENTATIVES EXERCISE THE AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, THE STATE AND ALL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE ARE PROHIBITED FROM USING ANY PERSONNEL OR FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ENSURE, ADMINISTER OR COOPERATE WITH A DESIGNATED FEDERAL ACTION OR PROGRAM.

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS CLEARLY STATES THAT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OR OFFICERS NOT ONLY MAY, BUT MUST REFUSE ANY FEDERAL ACTION THAT INTERFERES WITH THE RIGHTS OF THE STATE AND ESPECIALLY THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.

AGAIN, PART C STATES, THE STATE AND THE POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE STATE ARE PROHIBITED FROM USING ANY PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ENFORCE, ADMINISTER, OR COOPERATE THE DESIGNATED FEDERAL ACTION OF THE PROGRAM.

CHARLES WEISSMAN MAXIMUM OF LAW NUMBER 71.

THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE SUPREME LAW.

ABOLISH, ESTABLISH AND CHANGE ELECTORAL PRECINCTS OF POINT INSPECTORS AND JUDGES OF ELECTIONS, CANVAS ELECTION RETURNS.

THANK YOU MARK.

UM, STEVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND AFTER STEVE WE'LL HAVE, UH, IS IT MICHAEL? ROCHELLE.

UM, STEVE CARVALHAL, CHOLO, MCINERNEY VERSUS IRVIN.

A GOVERNMENT AS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS, THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY LED TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE LIMITED DECISION MAKING POWER RELATED TO THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

THEY HAVE BEEN CONVINCED THAT THESE, THOSE POWERS EXPRESSLY CONFERRED BY STATUTE AND THE BOARD MAY EXERCISE NO POWERS EXCEPT THOSE SPECIFICALLY GRANTED BY STATUTE AND IN THE MANNER FIXED BY STATUTE.

HANCOCK VERSUS MCCARROLL SAYS ALSO STATES THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS POWER TO REPEAL ITS OWN ORDINANCES HAVE BEEN LIMITED BY THE LEGISLATOR.

HOWEVER, A RS STATUTE SECTION 11 2 51 0.05 SAYS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAY IN THE CONDUCT, IN THE CONDUCT OF COUNTY BUSINESS, ADOPT, AMEND AND REPEAL ALL ORDINANCES NECESSARY TO OR PROPER TO CARRY OUT THE DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COUNTY, WHICH ARE NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY LIMITED BY SECTION 11 DASH 2 51 OR ANY OTHER LAW OR IN CONFLICT WITH ANY RULE OF LAW OR LAW IN THIS STATE.

A RS SECTION 11 2 51 SAYS, POWERS OF THE BOARD, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAY UNDER SUCH LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AS ARE PRESCRIBED BY LAW, MAY SUPERVISE THE OFFICIAL CONDUCT OF ALL COUNTY OFFICERS AND OFFICERS OF ALL DISTRICTS AND OTHER DUB DIVISIONS OF THE COUNTY CHARGED WITH ASSESSING, COLLECTING, SAFEGUARDING, SAFEKEEPING, MANAGING, AND DISPERSING THE PUBLIC REVENUES.

SEE THAT THE OFFICERS FAITHFULLY PERFORM THEIR DUTIES AND DIRECT PROSECUTIONS FOR DELINQUENCIES.

AND WHEN NECESSARY REQUIRE THE OFFICERS TO RENEW THEIR OFFICIAL BONDS, MAKE REPORTS, AND PRESENT THEIR BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS FOR INSPECTION.

DIVIDE THE COUNTIES INTO DISTRICTS OR PRECINCTS AS REQUIRED BY LAW, CHANGE THE DISTRICTS OR PRECINCTS AND CREATE OTHERS AS CON CONVENIENCE REQUIRES

[03:10:01]

DECLARE THE RESULT AND ISSUE CERTIFICATIONS THEREOF.

ALRIGHT MICHAEL AND THEN AFTER MICHAEL CECILIA WILL BE UP.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

MICHAEL PITTS OVER GUARD ARIZONA AS GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OFFICERS, THE NAVI, THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAY CHOOSE TO CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANIES TO ACCOMPLISH THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTY, OR THEY MAY CHOOSE NOT TO CONTRACT WITH CORPORATIONS A QUESTIONABLE VALUE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY.

THE NAVAJO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ARE NOT DEPENDENT ON UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE STATE STATUTES FOR THEIR GUIDANCE, BUT MAY RELY UPON THE UNITED STATES AND ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONS FOR THEIR MANDATE REGARDING ELECTIONS.

THEY MAY NOT LAWFULLY CERTIFY ELECTIONS FOR WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE IN THE COUNT.

THE EVIDENCE WITHIN THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONALLY OVER OVERWHELMING OVERWHELMINGLY ALLOWS THE PEOPLE IN THUS NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO DETERMINE THEIR OWN, WHETHER OR NOT TO DO A HAND COUNT INSTEAD OF USING UNLAWFUL OR UNCONSTITUTIONAL ELECTORAL PROCESSES THAT INVOLVE CONTRACTS WITH CORPORATIONS.

THE ARIZONA CORPORATION, SORRY, THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE TWO IS VERY EXPLICIT.

ALL POLITICAL POWER IS INHERITED IN THE PEOPLE, NOT IN THE GOVERNMENT.

OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS NO POWER, CIVIL OR MILITARY SHALL INTERFERE WITH THE PEOPLE'S SUFFRAGE.

THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MUST NOT BE FOUND TO BE PARTICIPATING IN ACTIONS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PEACE AND SAFETY OF THE STATE.

NO GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL OFFICER ACTING ON UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMOUNT OF MINISTER STATUTES MAY INFRINGE ON THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.

WHILE THE ENTIRE ELECTORAL PROCESS HAS BEEN UNCONSTITUTIONAL, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS ROUTINELY CHOOSE TO IGNORE PORTIONS OF THE ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES.

TITLE 16 REQUIREMENTS IN FAVOR OF OTHERS, SPECIFICALLY A RS SECTION 16 THROUGH 4 42 CLEARLY STATES THE MACHINES MUST BE ROUTINELY TESTED AND CERTIFIED BY AN ACCREDITED STATE APPROVED LABORATORY.

HOWEVER, NO SUCH LABORATORY EXISTS.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS EXPECT COMPLIANCE WITH ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES.

IF AS TO HAPPEN A RS SECTION 16 THROUGH 4 42 B AND C MUST BE FOLLOWED.

A RI SECTION 16 DASH 4 4 42 B.

MACHINES OR DEVICES USED IN ANY ELECTION OR FEDERAL, STATE OR COUNTY OFFICERS MAY ONLY BE CERTIFIED FOR USE IN THIS STATE.

IT MAY ONLY BE USED IN THIS STATE IF THEY COMPLY WITH THE HELP VOTE ACT OF 2002.

AND IF THOSE MACHINES OR DEVICES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED BY A LABORATORY, THAT WAS A CREDIT PURSUANT TO THE HELP AMERICA VOTE.

2002 ACT.

HAVA.

AFTER CECILIA IS JIM VANCE.

SEVEN, HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES RECEIVED AS DETERMINATIVE OF PERSON ELECTED IN ALL ELECTIONS HELD BY THE PEOPLE IN THIS STATE.

CELIA LAUGHLIN FROM OGAR, ARIZONA A RS 16 4 4 2 C.

AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE COMMITTEE PRESCRIBED BY SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION, THE SECRETARY OF STATE SHALL ADOPT STANDARDS THAT SPECIFY THE CRITERIA FOR LOSS OF CERTIFICATION FOR EQUIPMENT THAT WAS USED AT ANY ELECTION FOR FEDERAL, STATE, OR COUNTY OFFICES.

AND THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED FOR USE IN THIS STATE.

ON LOSS OF CERTIFICATION, MACHINES OR DEVICES USED AT ANY ELECTION MAY NOT BE USED FOR ANY ELECTION FOR FEDERAL, STATE, OR COUNTY OFFICES IN THIS STATE UNLESS RE-CERTIFIED FOR USE IN THIS STATE.

IF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS CANNOT MINIMALLY ADHERE TO THESE STATUTES, THE USE OF ANY CONTRACTED DEVICE MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE.

THERE MAY BE NO USE OF ANY MACHINE OR OTHER VOTING RELATED DEVICES, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST USAGE.

NOTICE THAT THE ELECTORAL PROCESS IS TO BE BY THE PEOPLE AND SECRECY IN VOTING SHALL BE PRESERVED.

SECRECY IN VOTING IS IT'S ELIMINATED BY THE USE OF THE MACHINES AS THEY INTERRUPT AND SUBVERT THE REQUIRED CHAIN OF CUSTODY.

ONLY A TRUE HAND COUNT WILL YIELD A TRUE COUNT OF THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF LEGAL VOTES.

ARIZONA CONSTITUTION.

ARTICLE SEVEN, SECTION ONE METHOD OF VOTING SECRECY.

ALL ELECTIONS BY THE PEOPLE SHALL BE BY BALLOT AND BY SUCH OTHER METHOD AS MAY BE PRESCRIBED BY LAW, PROVIDED THAT SECRECY AND VOTING SHALL BE PRESERVED.

THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTION ARTICLE SEVEN, SECTION

[03:15:01]

THE PERSON OR PERSONS RECEIVING THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF LEGAL VOTES SHALL BE DECLARED ELECTED CHARLES WEISSMAN'S MAXIMUMS OF LAW NUMBER 1 0 5 STATES.

HE WHO DOES NOT REPEL A WRONG WHEN HE CAN OCCASIONS IT CHARLES WEISSMAN'S MAXIMUM OF LAW 1 0 5 H WHATEVER IS AGAINST THE RULE OF LAW.

WHATEVER IS AGAINST THE RULE OF RIGHT IS A WRONG.

ALRIGHT, WE HAVE, UH, JIM VANCE AND THEN AFTER THAT JERRY HUBBARD.

WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

MY NAME IS JIM VANCE AND I LIVE IN AINE.

SO THIS IS THE CONCLUSION OF WHAT WE PREPARED THE EVIDENCE AND OVER IS OVERWHELMING YOU.

THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, COUNTY ATTORNEY AND COUNTY SHERIFF HAVE ACCEPTED CASE LAW AND STATUTES AS YOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

WHILE FULLY IGNORING THE MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND THE ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONS, BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT FIND YOURSELVES THE WRONGDOER MAXIMUM LAW.

ALL THINGS ARE PRE PRESUMED AGAINST THE WRONGDOER.

THE PEOPLE REQUIRE.

THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST FROM THE USE OF ALL ELECTION RELATED MACHINES AND DEVICES AND IMMEDIATELY CHOOSE TO HAND COUNT BALLOTS AT THE SITE WHERE THE BALLOT WAS CAST.

IN THIS WAY, THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL BE PROPERLY FILLING THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTIONS.

FURTHER, SHOULD THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND ALL OTHER NAMED HEREIN CHOOSE TO CONTINUE TO VIOLATE THE MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS, THE NAVAJO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND ALL OTHERS NAMED HEREIN WILL BE FOUND TO HAVE INTENTIONALLY IGNORED THIS FINAL NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM THE VI FROM A VIOLATION OF RIGHTS AND THUS WILL HAVE MADE A TREASONOUS DECISION THAT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE IN THE FUTURE.

LACK OF RESPONSE TO THIS CEASE AND DESIST DESIST NOTICE WILL STAND AS AN ACQUIESCENCE TO THE TRUTH FOUND THEREIN, HEREIN THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY HAVE SPOKEN AND DEMAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND OFFICERS NOW CURRENTLY RESPOND WITH APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO CEASE AND ASSIST THE USE OF ALL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT THAT REQUIRE A CON CONTRACT WITH THE CORPORATION.

THIS ACTION WILL THEN ALLOW FOR TRAINED HAND COUNTERS AMONG THE PEOPLE OF NAVAJO COUNTY TO PROCEED TO ACCURATELY, QUICKLY, AND SAFELY MAINTAIN THE PURITY OF ELECT OF THE ELECTION PROCESS.

NOW, COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, COUNTY ATTORNEY, COUNTY SHERIFF, YOU NOW HAVE BEEN SERVED.

JERRY HUBBARD.

AND THEN AFTER JERRY, UH, RICK ES I DECLINE THE .

ROGER, MY NAME IS ROGER GORES.

I LIVE IN HEBERT, ARIZONA.

MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS, WE ARE IN A BATTLE OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL AND BOTH OUR SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT.

ONE EXAMPLE OF GOOD GOVERNMENT ACTION IS THE RECENT ARIZONA SUPREME COURT RULING CONCERNING THE DEFINITION OF AN ABORTION AND THE PROPOSED, UH, PROPOSITION TO BE ENSHRINED INTO ARIZONA CONSTITUTION, THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION.

THEY KEPT IN THAT PROPOSITION THAT AN ABORTION IS THE DESTRUCTION OF A HUMAN LIFE.

ONE EXAMPLE OF AN EVIL GOVERNMENT ACTIONS.

THAT IS, IF THAT PROPOSITION PASSES, IT WILL ALLOW AN ABORTION UP TO AND INCLUDING

[03:20:01]

DURING HIS ACTUAL BIRTH.

WE ALL STAND UP AT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETINGS AND PRAY TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

I PRAY THAT YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN THAT TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST AND THAT YOUR DECISION ON WHAT YOU HAVE JUST HEARD WILL BE A GOOD GOVERNMENT DECISION.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, ROGER.

AND THAT'S EVERYBODY THAT WE HAD.

ALRIGHT.

THAT'S THE LAST TIME ON THE AGENDA.

WITH THAT WE STAND ADJOURNED.

I JUST APPRECIATE, UH, THE PEOPLE WHO SHARED, WE CALL THE PUBLIC TODAY AND DIRECT STAFF AND OUR ATTORNEY TO LOOK INTO THE MATTERS AND THE AFFAIRS.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IN OUR CONDUCT THAT WE WILL DO.

I SHOULD HAVE ASKED, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE.

OKAY, THEN WE STAND ADJOURNED.
