Valdez said the meeting focused on how to use a county priority referred to in the meeting as the \"$5.95 project\" to fix immediate repairs while developing a feasibility concept for a longer-term fix. He also said that if the county cannot use that funding, a federal Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) could offer support; Valdez said that program has a cap of $15,000,000. The discussion included concern for utility infrastructure: portions of an international sewer line that comes from Mexico run under the wash, and the IBWC has an interest in protecting that infrastructure.

Valdez said county staff are coordinating with those agencies and will present a funding and repair strategy to the board for approval in the future. He also mentioned other local infrastructure topics, including roadside cleanup logistics and facility-sharing discussions with the Forest Service, but indicated the Lagos Wash coordination was ongoing and that more detail would come in subsequent meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","03/18/2025 Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","County officials met with the Army Corps of Engineers, the International Boundary and Water Commission and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to discuss repairs to the Lagos Wash, possible use of local $5.95 project funds and a federal CAP program that carries a $15 million cap.","taxTitle","Santa Cruz County, Arizona","taxId",27865,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6257698,"Health department seeks EPA grant to tackle illegal dumping; requests supervisors’ letter of support",149,2291000,2440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3152801-c85c11313b0d8de95dc9ec549b7832cf&start=2291&end=2440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3152801-c85c11313b0d8de95dc9ec549b7832cf/thumbnail_2291000.jpg","/articles/6257698/Santa-Cruz-County/Arizona/Health-department-seeks-EPA-grant-to-tackle-illegal-dumping-requests-supervisors-letter-of-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6257698-140a47fc1ab9f6d44a352fb84839874b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141505&Signature=SvjRiHDcU-TREFNLTn6iR93CaDUYD-5LHXDhhUpmJ-2jTdmixcFTI~OklM9qjFmQkhWTIwHlk1wNmsrOqtqEyEs27IbZ5Pn281oqC8xB2xEr23UtQVStL0SbA7v31sJznqucKtUC7-p0~EUvA88TtTzwv6Jbx-XF8LNGgghIlrIHRXjYByi1s6vPzYON-bCSsiJ55FQPvGtmqCCPdn4z-njCjhyG77NGPfD4Ou0RjWBFH7oEeIEUPaNw2kqAkSJpjX5v0j3xRsRVZtxgo8Q1FqfSeBEwISVSdS1aro4XSIFgRY6gpv4moaAI0PJUC1gfr4NwCAWXrxoYmTmjENVcGw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jose Arriola, deputy director of Santa Cruz County Health and Human Services, asked the Board of Supervisors on March 18 for a letter of support for a federal grant application to address countywide littering and illegal dumping.

Arriola said the county is pursuing an EPA Thriving Communities Phase 2 award that could provide up to $250,000 if the application is successful. \"We're applying for a phase 2 award. It's up to $250,000 if we are awarded,\" he said. He told the board the department receives frequent complaints about trash and that causes range from lack of services or cost barriers to people disposing of household or construction debris on vacant lots.

Arriola said the department is considering a public-education and community-engagement campaign targeted at recurring dump hotspots and that enforcement options are being reviewed with the County Attorney’s Office and Community Development. He noted that notices of violation for illegal dumping are a class 3 misdemeanor but said the department hopes to secure compliance without criminal prosecution when possible.

County Manager Valdez agreed to coordinate on the requested letter of support and Arriola left application materials for county staff to review. No formal vote was recorded; the request was presented as part of department reports and county staff indicated they would provide the letter.","Santa Cruz County health officials said they are applying for an EPA Thriving Communities Phase 2 grant of up to $250,000 to address littering and illegal dumping and asked the Board of Supervisors for a letter of support to complete the application.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6257703,"Santa Cruz County treasurer delays new system, enforces new deposit procedure after resistance from one entity",179,1706000,1885000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3152801-c85c11313b0d8de95dc9ec549b7832cf&start=1706&end=1885","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3152801-c85c11313b0d8de95dc9ec549b7832cf/thumbnail_1706000.jpg","/articles/6257703/Santa-Cruz-County/Arizona/Santa-Cruz-County-treasurer-delays-new-system-enforces-new-deposit-procedure-after-resistance-from-one-entity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6257703-abec37d1b30ce8bb2c9a7af20e3fb9aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141505&Signature=CmUMYozHIIGmnUZHN3zVpHpdtCgNNRI009pBBaOqx6wmn~wB-BK47VtCkciXorPs2bhLZ2n7nZ9Op3mOWGjyM0KYllGkKMlumLijzMOEpyeE0ofBvK1dmCJ7WZDPBzT-relwuA3SiKp0JWRh8g1RwYiV8yJke7Ef0YiJue~LsP4Iwc9vf7FrS-g1hnCLiNtoqp4zNGMQtcHtfS0hM4TKDVGU7D8lWMSTGNqTxrqWNtm0U4HxdMou8rcdJoK3Ndoa~8pFAcmcAooen-gjGxqXF7WTEG6XqpGm8fuEyBjqVjIgOqXTzBWuQGwRuFWrY32ipBDo2dp1B9lIboSK3yNYNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mister Chalice, Santa Cruz County treasurer, told the Board of Supervisors on March 18 that the county’s cash-and-investment position is stable, the tax-lien sale closed successfully, and officials have adopted a new investment policy. He also said the county will postpone moving to a new treasury software and that a mandatory change requiring entities to provide their own treasurer’s receipt has met resistance from one county entity.

The treasurer opened with month-end balances: the general fund at $21,481,954 (invested $16,098,142); the road fund at $6,931,572; the flood control district at $2,904,564; the jail district at $6,995,263; and a total of $64,824,467 across all funds. He reported an estimated end-of-month balance of $13,266,069. He also summarized the county’s February tax-lien sale: total value $898,040.70; 3,141 bids on 935 items; 597 items sold; 80 qualified bidders; and 247 registered users.

The treasurer described work on an investment policy developed with peer counties and said the county will pursue conservative, short-term maturities while staff develops cash-flow forecasting for each supported entity. He said the county will submit the policy to the Government Investment Officers Association for review and certification.

On the proposed new treasury software from vendor CollectWare Harris, the treasurer said the vendor is not ready and that he will not put the county on the system before it is fully confirmed ready. \"I will not go into this treasurer system until they can 100% confirm to me that they are fully ready for us to adopt that system,\" he said. He told the board that, because the end of the fiscal year and a sequence of statutory deadlines fall in the coming months, the county will likely postpone the rollout until next March so earlier adopters can work out problems first.

The treasurer also described a mandatory process change for depositing funds: each county entity must complete its own treasurer’s receipt (deposit slip) and provide supporting documentation. He said 10 of 11 entities adopted the change immediately but that one entity resisted and required legal counsel and mediation. He said the county provided the resisting entity three options: comply with the new process, indemnify the treasurer’s office for any errors, or bank elsewhere. The treasurer said the parties reached a temporary resolution under which the entity will supply a signed receipt and attachments while the offices continue to pursue full compliance.

The treasurer asked the board to note the resistance and may seek the supervisors’ support in encouraging full compliance. Board members thanked the treasurer for transparency and offered to follow up with the recalcitrant department.

The treasurer’s presentation included operational numbers and implementation decisions but no formal board vote was taken on the matters he described.","The county treasurer reported stronger cash balances and a successful tax-lien sale, outlined a new investment policy, postponed a countywide treasury-system rollout because of vendor readiness concerns, and said a mandatory change requiring entities to prepare treasurer receipts met resistance from one county entity.","actionData","errors"]
