Josh reported the shelter took in 217 cats and 316 dogs in 2024 (533 animals total). The shelter returned 15 cats and 60 dogs to owners. For 2024 spay/neuter work, the shelter performed 69 full-price procedures and 289 under a grant-funded program that is now limited to Navajo County. Year-to-date 2025 totals reported were 23 full-price spay/neuters and 57 grant-funded procedures; the speaker noted the grant specifically limits eligibility to Navajo County residents.

Josh said the shelter is pursuing a generator for property resiliency and is in early planning stages to add a stray‑cat building and to remodel existing isolation space. He also announced an internal leadership transition: Josh said he will move on from his position and that Debbie Neff (Debbie) will take over as executive director when the transition occurs; no firm date was set.

Councilors thanked the Humane Society for its work and asked staff to pass along community appreciation. Josh said the shelter will continue to report updates to the council.","Shelter director provided 2024 intake figures, current 2025 spay/neuter totals and said the organization plans a generator purchase and a new stray-cat building; staff transition also announced.",{"_32":88,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":89,"_40":90,"_42":91,"_44":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6127759,"Nexus Coalition reports naloxone distribution and rising vaping among youth",347,903000,1250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2661642-3b892a13b27cb1c9728eebaaac5c1947&start=903&end=1250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2661642-3b892a13b27cb1c9728eebaaac5c1947/thumbnail_903000.jpg","/articles/6127759/Arizona/Nexus-Coalition-reports-naloxone-distribution-and-rising-vaping-among-youth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6127759-98f9c643e4294828df4aaa6ec85e1ac0/orig.mp4?Expires=1769699298&Signature=eUqAhskeA4LVonA3VCNQ23nf~J1myNxbEJWskHvdShcNEvuHd2qhCvLtdzCZAfl2ZJWx3Pre4lD5Av0rhsUDNjPilvYbq~ZYGVT9qwIMUv8ssNA7qtmvcM1BW1Z2cpzvu~B7RTQY6jankItQGGHOblRD-zC0Pxb0SLdEmrmgz7yIK4u3kXBur8i2drEfI5P6BQf1bBayLf2Z620zxmI1xvWV1aSiEtdgzdQLeNw04FSkK8RyB2fK8u5KZl4zoRIZ0pQVrAFbXOvP6jxzxfI-yMbOByg3fQW2wKbqPMfiG2PxgY3ub8n1kBbfYaw6YdZj9iaZhXDcpCtRk8RkEzBgBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Vicki Solomon, executive director of the Nexus Coalition for Drug Prevention, updated the Pinetop-Lakeside council on the coalition’s prevention and outreach work and the drug trends she is seeing locally.

Solomon said Nexus’s grant-year totals for the most recent fiscal year included roughly 14,000 youth contacts, about 5,700 adult contacts, 885 activities, and 962 naloxone kits distributed along with training. She said education outreach reached roughly 53,097 people during the grant year.

Solomon told the council Arizona has been heavily impacted by fentanyl, saying “out of about a hundred million pills that were discovered from DEA in all 50 states, 50% of them were coming up through Arizona.” She urged continued naloxone distribution and training, noting that even a single pill containing fentanyl can be fatal.

Council members asked about local trends. Solomon said the proportion of counterfeit pills containing lethal doses of fentanyl has fluctuated — she estimated that about six months earlier seven of 10 pills were lethal doses and that figure has fallen to about five of 10 — but emphasized the data are variable and any pill can be deadly. She also described vaping as “on the rise,” recounted a diversion-case student who said he had been vaping since age five and described instances where students flushed devices and caused plumbing damage at Blue Ridge schools.

Solomon described Nexus’s school-based curricula, naloxone distribution, community partnerships with law enforcement, the National Guard and other organizations, and ongoing youth leadership programs. She said Nexus operates with a staff that covers the Pinetop-Lakeside area and that partners use the town-owned Yellowjacket Center for meetings and youth programming.","Nexus Coalition executive director Vicki Solomon updated the council on prevention work: coalition outreach reached thousands, naloxone distribution exceeded 900, and local fentanyl contamination and youth vaping remain major concerns.",{"_32":100,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":101,"_40":102,"_42":103,"_44":45,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6127764,"Council authorizes off‑duty management MOU to staff school security",445,2337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2661642-3b892a13b27cb1c9728eebaaac5c1947&start=2337&end=2782","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2661642-3b892a13b27cb1c9728eebaaac5c1947/thumbnail_2337000.jpg","/articles/6127764/Arizona/Council-authorizes-offduty-management-MOU-to-staff-school-security","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6127764-34ec016db377314acd48499b8946fad3/orig.mp4?Expires=1769699298&Signature=f-Ix36Rm5HQUifLizPWm-QmV5vVj~lmHT6PIZhcD7K1Z0Dmin6n6t3GtN6adBh6QCaWNyobw5rb2eXAt1Ycvgt3c20E8X3VXthtGkK6iOISYnS7uZ0fxGXPgPdcZQDo4uX3MijYuxtJk1WXMelcf5NFLB2rlsp1ElAwfuGQCHDMK6eb4~IcNEHa6CAJ7Q9gKbb6Yua9rZq0b-hAJlTGtmNuhFjcknd1DUFEdBEIspDtMswz1SJxz5Xc3eIdv6HkhXsfk-Dxb3gqraJ15CLp6t4XkpC7iCJq9zQnJhIRtgZTNeuMCoR34ALnrL96JvxEMBP6No5Qg3VcU5OZjLSN7aQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pinetop-Lakeside Town Council unanimously authorized a service agreement to allow local officers to sign up with Off Duty Management, Inc., a vendor that supplies off-duty security staffing to schools under a district mini-grant.

Commander (name not specified) told the council the school district received a mini-grant for just over $500,000 to provide officers at three schools. The district may use traditional school resource officers (SROs) or hire security officers in an off‑duty, contracted capacity. Joining Off Duty Management’s program would make town officers eligible to be scheduled for the school security positions; the school would pay the vendor, the vendor would pay the officers, and the vendor provides workers’ compensation and liability coverage for off-duty assignments.

The commander said the town can limit where its officers may work and that officers would have priority to sign up for local school positions. He emphasized that while most interactions at schools will focus on presence and relationship-building, officers are still sworn peace officers and would respond to incidents as needed.

Councilors asked about the ability to cancel the arrangement if it did not work, vehicle fees for other off‑duty assignments, and the town’s continued pursuit of a full-time SRO. The commander confirmed either party may cancel with 30 days’ notice and that the school positions do not require vehicles, so vehicle-hour fees were not applicable to the current school assignments.

Councilor Heisler moved approval of the resolution authorizing the Off Duty Management service agreement (Sourcewell Contract No. 51321); the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.","The council approved an agreement to join Off Duty Management’s program so off-duty officers can be scheduled as school security officers under a school district grant; the town will not directly employ the officers and insurance and pay flow through the contractor.",{"_32":111,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":112,"_40":113,"_42":114,"_44":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6127769,"Pinetop-Lakeside adopts rebate policy to incentivize workforce housing",512,1808000,2320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2661642-3b892a13b27cb1c9728eebaaac5c1947&start=1808&end=2320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2661642-3b892a13b27cb1c9728eebaaac5c1947/thumbnail_1808000.jpg","/articles/6127769/Arizona/Pinetop-Lakeside-adopts-rebate-policy-to-incentivize-workforce-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6127769-3efa944e1684ca4a1fd6918cb824fb52/orig.mp4?Expires=1769699298&Signature=bPx8mAISeQXjWsuNRJjaK2PVT5KRDNWMrpCa~dkjOKEo2MjWwzquej6RCdJwBi24QUe6sjXOAR61Yob~ov0kmu-JiAg2m7Awu0dA57N2mDSrtg9sXVl-TP3PVYJDjvYZjOWrr0zpfZOIUMCEkznakYeHiwk-MV~kVMsJVAAuaAduVL92i-TnGWzIhPXLzsb81BCFxdxoJJCrj3vcpalvIIZo30hbRK67wsfZ7ryLiZ7l7iB~wD1m9zYukq2faD91QODEmJRE7Ea1JtzyNByQPQt8RCMBUEdHD4mFp0uzhplJX990xlfiSxE-5THQ3oG-eWmZSS~0tnN84ce787-PLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pinetop-Lakeside Town Council on a unanimous vote approved Resolution No. 25-17701, adopting a policy that offers developers financial and procedural incentives to build workforce housing in town.

The policy, presented by town staff member Jeremiah, offers a rebate of $2,500 per qualifying housing unit applied to construction-related taxes, priority building inspections and other incentives intended to make certain projects financially feasible. Developers accepting the incentive will sign a recorded agreement and must annually attest that units are occupied by households within the income range specified in the policy.

Jeremiah told the council the measure is intended to “move the needle” on housing availability for workers and said the policy was modeled in part on Show Low’s program but provides a higher per-unit rebate. He explained the town cannot legally tie sale price to area median income because local prices are market-driven; instead the agreement will require an annual attestation by the property owner that tenants or owners meet the policy’s income eligibility. The staff presentation noted the policy targets households within the local area median income band described in the draft policy.

Councilors asked how the town would enforce compliance if a project failed to meet requirements. Jeremiah said the agreement will include repayment language requiring recapture of incentives if the owner fails to maintain eligibility; the town could record a lien or pursue civil action. He also described an option to structure repayments if a development left compliance before a 10-year term elapsed and said priority inspections and density allowances were part of the package to improve developers’ returns.

Councilor Heisler moved approval of the resolution; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

The policy will be implemented by recorded agreements drafted with the town attorney and annual monitoring by staff. Councilors said the measure complements other local initiatives such as teacher housing programs and earlier incentives discussed for subsidized projects.

The ordinance-level policy takes effect immediately following any administrative steps required to finalize the town’s agreement template and monitoring procedures.","The town council unanimously approved Resolution No. 25-17701 to offer a construction-tax rebate of $2,500 per unit and other development incentives intended to encourage workforce housing development; the policy will be implemented through recorded agreements with annual attestation and potential repayment provisions for noncompliance.","actionData","errors"]
