Miller said the problem does not mean people are not citizens but that the MVD could not verify citizenship in some records. She said county election staff mailed letters, posted on Facebook and were asking residents to provide documentation such as birth certificates, Tribal ID or traveler's identification to clear their records before the next election.

Miller told the board that the outreach included a mailed letter the morning of the meeting and that residents could call county offices for assistance. The board did not take formal action during the meeting on the item; election staff later presented an agenda item approving an election equipment purchase and said HAVA funds and election funds would cover it.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Supervisors Meeting - June 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A public commenter told the board that a motor vehicle database (MVD) glitch flagged some Arizona residents as lacking verification of citizenship and urged the county to help those residents clear records before the next election.","taxTitle","Greenlee County, Arizona","taxId",27862,"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},6213956,"Supervisors review FY 25–26 budget and move landfill expansion into Tier 1 capital projects",102,3414000,3516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3&start=3414&end=3516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3/thumbnail_3414000.jpg","/articles/6213956/Greenlee-County/Arizona/Supervisors-review-FY-2526-budget-and-move-landfill-expansion-into-Tier-1-capital-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6213956-9ff4610447b0b9cef19f3fd96d261644/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563176&Signature=PnjWixu5AyaeNOY7sBzcwwxPO~sRjSE~yaAuJyxLo31mDF9sU05olMrM2wDlFLX49qj40P40sdYFPX4b0a0CiZZOOk6qwhBvaqxPSqxQv~6f0MEZyYVV-9glSln-bR9MdO1vHigYF5JJHl-yI5f4vHnbE4AFhZsifF1RK87yrUk97qpYWrqhNRVuh-GY3eebzj5oHqjQXZk2-~4LIze3qW-99RZXWKImHDH~LjwxqxsN7kVdG97EsRB32C1S~UPcox8KYnGgqVWNSJFg0Oj88OBI9amwW6exfIhTAbEFXpDuJkonIENWfan9m2cIWVl0Fzar9MFqifQkDdzTwTgVnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greenlee County staff presented the proposed fiscal year 2025–26 budget and requested that the board move a planned commercial and demolition landfill cell into the Tier 1 capital improvement list.

County Administrator Derek Rapier said funds accumulated from tipping fees and a soils program would allow the county to build a new construction-and-demolition (C&D) cell and that staff estimated the project could be completed for about $1.2 million. Rapier said the county could build a double-size cell and that most heavy excavation would be contracted out while county staff would support mapping and aerial surveying.

Rapier reviewed progress on multiple capital projects: the fairgrounds redesign (second arena completed and parking work under way), Loma Linda ball field (pump connected, irrigation and fencing next, then grass planting) and public-works campus construction. He said an auction to acquire additional landfill acreage is planned for October 2025 to ensure decades of capacity.

The board discussed building priorities and requested that staff add developing a courthouse security plan to Tier 2, citing challenges related to ADA access and existing building layout. Staff said many Tier 1 items are near completion and that once the board adopts a tentative budget at the next meeting, staff will provide summary bullet points explaining changes from the prior year’s tax levy and valuation.

No formal budget adoption occurred at the meeting; staff presented the schedules, encouraged board review and said the tentative budget adoption is expected at the June 17 meeting, followed by final adoption on July 20.","County staff presented the proposed FY 2025–26 budget and recommended moving a commercial/demolition landfill cell project to the Tier 1 capital list with an estimated cost of about $1.2 million; the board discussed fairgrounds, Loma Linda ball fields and a new public works campus.",{"_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},6213960,"Board approves IGA with Duncan to chip-seal shared road; Packer Wash crossing left for separate review",507,1666000,2173000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3&start=1666&end=2173","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3/thumbnail_1666000.jpg","/articles/6213960/Greenlee-County/Arizona/Board-approves-IGA-with-Duncan-to-chip-seal-shared-road-Packer-Wash-crossing-left-for-separate-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6213960-e18a06078db3e83d0cee93e2de9f1001/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563176&Signature=hLTWLHLplD56UVkLtRMNTycwvbRfEOESqDC73TWrL8vF16cASMxJJZgZcSM5LSORogUaHVDiQWLCrrWeqUJ0PfUVJkDx~qQDe10DnGR9gu1bYJ69Ilvc1tIq2ol2BJxrg6vvFFAUxDNIsOIIR5k8vE4jj4giOFqWKRa0t8rkTjRtbl70d~A~xs65nFqlUcohgdyXXAuacvD4PuChaPAbfFftNGqSVwLEMlIHCcqsvpi3Eg7Sq4aqt7lBpLZt-Dx6L8kJtlN4GeTu8kxgRst~FxQ95oVzELn4MmK4LeEhEVPCee72NjfG8WgiR0YgosnmxFawVnxTc1hGfDOKRA5LsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greenlee County’s Board of Supervisors approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the town of Duncan to chip-seal a road that leads to Duncan Elementary School and to formalize maintenance responsibilities between the county and town.

County Administrator Derek Rapier told the board the county has maintained roughly half of the route for “at least 20 years” without a formal agreement and that chip sealing will reduce dusty conditions near the school and lower annual maintenance costs, which he estimated at $18,000 to $22,000 per year. Rapier said the town has a grant to pay for materials and the county has equipment and staff to perform the work.

A 700-foot segment that crosses Packer Wash was not included in the plan because it requires a stronger engineered low-water crossing or culvert, Rapier said. He told the board the town requested the county chip-seal through the wash; the county countered that it would do so only if the town’s insurance company signs off on covering the liability. Rapier said the town of Duncan would meet on the IGA on the 12th, and that the county might ratify minor negotiated changes at a later meeting.

Board members asked about alternatives such as building a concrete low-water crossing and about whether the county would retain the short 700-foot county segment; staff said the county could keep the 700-foot stretch if necessary. Rapier said chip sealing was scheduled to start Monday at the northern end of this year’s program and finish on the Carlisle/Duncan section.

A motion to accept the IGA as written, with staff authorized to bring back minor revisions for ratification if needed, passed by voice vote.","Supervisors agreed to an intergovernmental agreement with the town of Duncan to chip-seal a road used to reach Duncan Elementary, shifting maintenance liability and trimming county upkeep costs, while excluding a drainage segment called Packer Wash pending insurance review.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6213965,"Board approves DS950 high-speed scanner for elections office using HAVA funds",221,1447000,1668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3&start=1447&end=1668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3/thumbnail_1447000.jpg","/articles/6213965/Greenlee-County/Arizona/Board-approves-DS950-high-speed-scanner-for-elections-office-using-HAVA-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6213965-0937d67c3f1082973ef9cd258bd669bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563176&Signature=aHT0L4c7ZgDBs2jfqd6eXoBAqbh91KoDQb8I9SbaCU7WNb6ZkVh9Kpd6F5~dXzy7iT7Ycpv3h8RbftNA-UoZHmtp88v3rgwlArRe3bD9VK4maEl4xZxVyc3tdITijaE8UUJIONMNyEpRFZMu~T3cn-JM4-vEAnCT9TmpxY1YI6AvycjbvnC89RIpmuNe~mQWLLts7rXB~AQa8X-8Kd7cUbxL~bMiT0oLQjnGOhb8TakgtDHZak-vBqe60hK6xOCxiN34MWpIlCnnvw8AoEyGSnpTZZmRP3sOL~Cb1~rPSrHdGKplbSlZg9U824TSM6gOz8zIrJN12SPiY2VT980lFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenlee County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a DS950 high-speed scanner and tabulator for the elections department at a cost of $147,085, county staff said. The purchase will be paid using federal HAVA grant funds and existing election funds in the county budget.

Bianca Fasener, the county’s election director, presented the sales-order agreement and confirmed the county has HAVA and election funds available to cover the cost. “That purchase amount is a hundred and $47,085,” Fasener told supervisors as she explained the funding plan.

Board members asked whether the procurement was sole-source and how it fit past purchases. Fasener and finance staff said federal scrutiny of election equipment and interoperability concerns make single-source procurement common for tabulators; the county’s options are limited to the manufacturers in use in Arizona. The board discussed that the county had previously applied for about $103,000 in federal HAVA funds and that leftover general‑fund election money was also available to cover the balance.

A motion to purchase the DS950 using HAVA and election funds was made and seconded; the board approved it by voice vote. Staff said the device will be integrated into the election process for upcoming cycles and that delivery timing depends on manufacturer lead times.","Supervisors authorized purchase of a DS950 high-speed scanner and tabulator for $147,085, to be paid from Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds and election department reserves.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6213970,"Greenlee County approves purchase of enterprise drone for public works and emergency use",666,765000,1431000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3&start=765&end=1431","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3672132-bddcb9c0e1f301b0871c7fe66a7323f3/thumbnail_765000.jpg","/articles/6213970/Greenlee-County/Arizona/Greenlee-County-approves-purchase-of-enterprise-drone-for-public-works-and-emergency-use","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6213970-c969566335268faa4e28d0cdb0bab0ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563176&Signature=DadXcPdqP1gu0FszZpL3c8q0ytPSmrkq7IiXGmqjYjHrxpUvtwcMbo56vKLukM4XAWmkSS~Chhb8AMNSl2VUW9SJOFnD2PJW~eg-YGDUdMZtTKiu2yC4iqFX28s9I0EeDpSY2F92KqjqfQPkATDGGnhCFGYiL7Egem4c9C8X2Hrve-pk3lLf50AoZp2hx9bXSiTCRrbaIXP9c5Xzwe~gzRlYfMcKzBRFs5c3VX6s4AZv292UGskS4SumHhsOlOzEiGPTWk9tB6jRaESdFBIskfo9Qqwjq-aCUqdCjnQYOA6lGuT0lBl2NWDYyJYeEjRhiJOgc9gBg95IU5FvYzKQCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greenlee County’s Board of Supervisors voted to buy an enterprise-grade unmanned aerial system after hearing staff say the newer model will let the county do larger surveys, take higher-resolution imagery and support public-safety tasks in-house.

County Engineer Reed Larson told the board the county has been operating an older drone that is at “the end of its life” and that the newer model carries higher-end camera payloads and larger batteries that extend range and flight time. “The camera on this new UAV costs two or three times more than that whole bird cost,” Larson said, arguing the upgrade would let staff handle larger mapping jobs and reduce reliance on outside contractors.

Larson and other staff described past uses of the county’s drone for road inspections, landfill and fairgrounds overflights and verification of a recent drainage berm. He said the county sometimes hires commercial services for larger jobs and that bringing more capability in-house would save money over time.

Board members asked about vendor choice and lifespan. Larson said he had sought quotes from Altera (a long-term supplier) but found Drone Nerds was able to deliver sooner and at a competitive price because of current supply-chain and tariff pressures. Board members discussed possible department-sharing uses, including search-and-rescue, and law enforcement interest in payload options such as searchlights and loudspeakers.

The board then voted to approve the purchase of the drone, batteries and related equipment not to exceed $27,000. The motion passed by voice vote.

County staff said the existing drone will be retained as a backup while the new system is placed into service and that the equipment could be used by multiple county departments to support engineering, public works, emergency response and law enforcement tasks.","The Board of Supervisors approved up to $27,000 to buy an enterprise-grade unmanned aerial system after county engineers said the aircraft would speed surveying, inspections and emergency response.","actionData","errors"]
