Rupier said the county has a long-standing relationship with Eastern Arizona and that the college requested an increase to reflect current costs.

Rupier said the previous annual amount of $35,000 had not changed for many years and that Eastern Arizona requested an increase to $45,000; the county attorney and the college's contracts administrator negotiated contract wording. Because classes had already been provided in fiscal year 2025, Rupier recommended approving the IGA retroactively for FY25 and adopting the updated agreement going forward. He said the county had budgeted for the cost.

A motion to enter into the IGA with Eastern Arizona College was moved, seconded and approved by the board; staff will return with an IGA for fiscal year 2026 and review advisory committee appointments related to the program.

Why it matters: the agreement funds continuing education and community classes offered locally by Eastern Arizona College and represents a recurring county expenditure; updating the amount aligns county funding with the college's current cost structure.

What happens next: the board approved the retroactive FY25 IGA and staff will bring a FY26 agreement and advisory committee member recommendations to a future meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Supervisors Meeting - July 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Greenlee County approved a longstanding intergovernmental agreement with Eastern Arizona College for community classes; the IGA was updated and the annual amount increased from $35,000 to $45,000, retroactive to fiscal year 2025, and staff will present a FY26 IGA later.","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},6181617,"Board awards bid for concrete pad at new public works site to Yance Concrete LLC",250,2215000,2465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc&start=2215&end=2465","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc/thumbnail_2215000.jpg","/articles/6181617/Greenlee-County/Arizona/Board-awards-bid-for-concrete-pad-at-new-public-works-site-to-Yance-Concrete-LLC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181617-190c7053ec24711d5dc3744559a0d2c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563122&Signature=VPMi8rf0-oqhtI1anaOB83DrINKLy8JK7OTNRZyz0uTZPittQL~w3h9VkQF~QH-oK4YGlTsAOQXLqHn0aJVVsaUhrKpowcppPckA0jnmlj18v1jZ4NQjd5QD7WUbyq1dIRR3hAthpXCskhtek7jo0oD1QODHpOumbrEfR5ufyAFj~U3GrD4n1qyIVVBy2nWxBVUHXH-f01X34DMVYqgcpFkY7joa~AUccOheW0-nr~K-ktzhzykpBGoLs7XCtH-lomLh3n5izWpxl0rRhWq4AtzOt8HB~UOe17C3vlU5ht-t30XGpUXDRxRUU1g-hkPS-o3LVYbm848lYac7I4-mpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County Engineer Reed Larson told the board that the project site has an excess of millings and that subcontractors are lined up to prepare the pad site. The board was informed that only one bid was received for the concrete pad but that the bidder was a firm familiar to the county and had constructed the adjacent shop pad.

Larson said the bid amount produced \"sticker shock\" when opened but that a market check showed the submitted per-square-foot price for a 6‑inch reinforced concrete slab fell within normal ranges and was toward the low side of published benchmarks. He told the board the invitation to bid had been posted on the county website and published in the newspaper.

A motion to award the contract to Yance Concrete LLC in the amount of $143,750 plus tax was moved and seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

Why it matters: the awarded contract advances the construction of a new public works facility and commits county funds to a specific contractor; procurement received a single bid and the board discussed market comparators and the vendor's local experience.

What happens next: county staff will finalize the contract including tax and proceed with construction scheduling at the public works site.","Greenlee County awarded a $143,750 plus tax contract to Yance Concrete LLC to build a 6-inch reinforced concrete pad for a new public works metal building; only one bid was received and the board approved the award.",{"_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},6181622,"Board approves intergovernmental agreement to place a school resource officer in Morenci schools",163,1992000,2155000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc&start=1992&end=2155","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc/thumbnail_1992000.jpg","/articles/6181622/Greenlee-County/Arizona/Board-approves-intergovernmental-agreement-to-place-a-school-resource-officer-in-Morenci-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181622-0e797b1839ae6e73a185a6eb7d953e22/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563122&Signature=K6NEJO90Cgoyd~MtJh3k9cWenJ3mvODB58UXWLhgvLA2RshXNuO3wtp5sl0U2c8S6hbDUItPqd7Jt5ZROoMtm3Mtj4Vh5OMc2sOHQbnpnDIZF8nNZrB6AS7-MF78LZCMQOTMXukg-LoRyClrN7jbnrP0bg6-9Hb0JibZBEGy4mw2tRn1af2U3bk50oOw0GInrqtR7uSZ1w6D7rANBTNL~lQBtoXOQBjVyzEbDit2HRrzh1QwdPXmmJQVZ7lSE1gH9n7~A78-Bz41ruYRC4RJOwLnvpA8IGQuqvKvYSKii-kimEU-eljnhbyqKCF7YJtTByZol0zdlKy2FaPT34CPTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Morenci (Morency/Morenzi in the printed agenda) School District to place a school resource officer (SRO) in district schools. The board's presenter said the sheriff's office and school staff worked together on the agreement and that the district had a United Way grant applied toward the school's portion of the cost.

Under the IGA, staffing and costs were allocated based on the number of days the officer will serve the district during the school year; the SRO assignment runs through the academic calendar (roughly a nine‑month period — 184 days — with the officer returning to county duties during summer breaks). Officials said the arrangement is intended to yield full use of the officer during school days.

Board members also said work is underway to expand SRO coverage to other schools in the county, and the sheriff's office is engaged with Duncan Schools on a similar effort.

The board moved, seconded and approved the IGA; the motion passed with an affirmative voice vote.","The Greenlee County Board of Supervisors approved an intergovernmental agreement with Morenci School District to provide a school resource officer (SRO); cost-sharing is based on days of school usage and a grant from United Way reduces the district's share.",{"_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},6181627,"County to provide $1,000 to Arizona Alpine Trail; nonprofit outlines economic potential",1184,776000,1960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc&start=776&end=1960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc/thumbnail_776000.jpg","/articles/6181627/Greenlee-County/Arizona/County-to-provide-1000-to-Arizona-Alpine-Trail-nonprofit-outlines-economic-potential","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181627-2148f42774b4b530b486323c36ce8031/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563122&Signature=V9BmkxBUgn4KHU~NEMPcfDaoD2SvXB7bxbVe1WAbl1B1i-3y9pcLd9cOJRbl1zqKtwujhs1CesQI6xGLypHOIDEiHfsHba7VFOcZXlfkTJLmNsXze~L3eeWht2I7tpDw8qAgX1MC70NMDwPtRtleaVCJQdLy9DalFLMn5lR~J7NhG543dCvQwsT0wGx7pwMHVRj4bu4kVdUJNig~LJ0lkBdIAKi02YVOu2XeimNRGX0NLISJsDp16WyiZdUdhXuOI7wZm2ts5QygwZjq8FhL49JcVKO0b0ix41L-fUBGwPZzVQjJIKfrSq3UDbp4SbG~gz~2gknIMOPWx3Y7QhWcLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jerry Smith, president of Arizona Alpine Trail Inc., gave the board an overview of the nonprofit's work to assemble and promote a contiguous motorized off-highway vehicle (OHV) route that links national forest trails from Hanigan Meadow to Payson. \"This Arizona Alpine Trail is a really important economic, development and economic generator for this rural towns, and counties in Arizona,\" Smith said.

Smith told the board the trail is entirely on National Forest land, complies with the travel management plans for the Tonto, Coconino and Apache-Sitgreaves national forests, and connects existing forest routes into an approximately 700-mile, multi-day motorized trail. He said State Parks provided about $400,000 to develop a master plan, being prepared by Logan Simpson of Tempe, targeted for completion by December.

Smith estimated trail users would spend roughly $300 per day in communities along the route and projected 300–400 riders per day on peak days, creating an estimated $90,000–$100,000 in daily spending across the trail corridor. He asked Greenlee County for a $1,000 donation to support marketing and outreach.

County Administrator Derek Rupier told the board the $1,000 request falls within his spending authority and asked whether staff should proceed. The board directed administration to provide the $1,000 donation and to follow up on permitting questions raised by Smith about fueling at Hanigan Meadow; staff said they would identify the appropriate permitting contacts (for example, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and local permitting offices) and follow up with Smith.

Why it matters: the project is positioned as a multi-county tourism and economic-development effort that would concentrate OHV activity on approved trails, reduce off-route impacts, and bring out-of-state visitors to rural communities.

What happens next: county staff will issue the $1,000 donation, follow up with Smith on permitting for a pay-at-the-pump fueling option at Hanigan Meadow, and coordinate with Rupier as the county's point of contact for marketing.","Arizona Alpine Trail Inc. presented a plan for a 700-mile motorized trail through national forest lands; the board directed staff to provide a $1,000 donation and to assist with permitting and local coordination.",{"_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},6181631,"County staff to schedule special meeting after notice of bill to delist Mexican wolf",94,553000,647000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc&start=553&end=647","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112656-b7ac7a14d0440f07740e6835f397c8cc/thumbnail_553000.jpg","/articles/6181631/Greenlee-County/Arizona/County-staff-to-schedule-special-meeting-after-notice-of-bill-to-delist-Mexican-wolf","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181631-86a8c1272f805d49eaa39717724af3bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775563122&Signature=eQxafebwuFkqeKGMN7tOfafZvcrq8GZmwfGiM0yRaz6n-6yrCcY9Oe04vRSS~wIiLiUVvPt9RpdaEkuaUo-SN9nHZOe7UpZeQEjLj1KzPrRMHsm0HukM6agABj-L6lighy9lqjSBjXx2gPJ3JIjdNFbzMaIfhH4ycwMqFc87kRiCnw38azWmV6RU~M95D39Y~eeKKqQmQVXSuo-aB7wUYZrcNqjo8ScUyk0w4T5tvn87FvC~H3-qcXHSHuw7ny099JwkCCduM9YCml06XgwWOHTO~qNvA5O3xuoML0KCyUEinaxkpgh7k3FGyIsyi90pZN7qMRgdfgjkMCjI-Wij4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greenlee County Administrator Derek Rupier told the Board of Supervisors during the public comment period that Representative Paul Gosar had drafted legislation to delist the Mexican wolf from the Endangered Species Act and that the board had received that information after the agenda posted. \"We had heard chattering all week that Representative Paul Gosar ... was gonna introduce a bill to delist the Mexican wolf from the Endangered Species Act,\" Rupier said.

Rupier said the matter was not on the current agenda and therefore could not be acted on that day, but he offered a draft resolution the county could consider as a formal statement of support. He asked the board whether staff should place the resolution on the July 22 agenda or call a special meeting sooner. \"This is a resolution that would express the board's support for Representative Gosar's legislation. Because it's not on the agenda, we can't act today,\" Rupier said.

Board members responded that timing was important and asked staff to set a special meeting early the following week; members agreed to convene on a Monday and later settled on noon as a likely meeting time. The board did not adopt the resolution at the meeting where the issue was raised.

Why it matters: a board resolution is a formal public statement that can be used to signal local elected leaders' positions to state and federal lawmakers; the county is taking expedited steps to consider whether to endorse legislation that would affect a federally listed species.

What happens next: staff will propose and calendar a special meeting to allow the board to consider adopting a resolution supporting Representative Gosar's bill. No formal vote on the resolution occurred at this meeting.","County administrator informed the board that Rep.
