Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, and seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, to adopt Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 20001-28, DENYING the rename as stated.

Sean McMahon, Editor of the Kingman Daily Miner, who was the applicant, advised there was no sign on the road and the Miner�s printing plant was the only business on the road, and, therefore, was requesting approval.

The following Roll Call votes were recorded:  Supervisor Johnson-Yes, Supervisor Sockwell-Yes, Chairman Byers-No.  Motion carried by majority vote.

ITEM 100: Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to adopt Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 2001-30 � DENYING the Rezone of Lot 11, Block G, Lake Mohave Country Club Estates, Unit 3, Amended, in Section 31, Township 22 North, Range 16 West, from A-R (Agricultural-Residential) zone to R-1/20M (Single Family Residential/Twenty Thousand Square Foot Minimum Lot Size) zone, in the Kingman Area (west side of North Adams Street, approximately 400 feet north of Sierra Vista Avenue), Mohave County, Arizona, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

ITEM 101:  In response to Supervisor Sockwell, Interim Manager Skalicky advised that Griffith Energy was agreeing to pay monthly operating and maintenance expenses (personnel services, supplies, other charges) and non-recurring expenses for the I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System, plus actual electrical charges for the month based on the ratio of water dedicated to Griffith now 4,800 gallons per minute, divided by the developed system capacity, now 5,000 gallons per minute.

Interim Manager Skalicky concluded by clarifying that instead of Griffith Energy paying for the 4,800 gallons of water per minute, they will pay for electrical costs to pump the water plus the fixed costs.

Joe Tamberella, Golden Valley resident, addressed the Board with a concern regarding  what the exact gallon charge to Griffith Energy would be as Mohave County should set viable rates to be used to recoup funds necessary to find other water resources when and if that aquifer was depleted.   

Bobby Bork, Golden Valley resident, addressed the Board with the same concern as stated by Mr. Tamberella.

Chief Finance Officer Ma advised that the formula was based on the contract that Mohave County has with Griffith Energy and there was no comparison to other water operation systems, as it was more efficient to operate larger as opposed to smaller systems.

In response to Chairman Byers, Chief Civil Deputy Attorney Herbert advised that the cost to Griffith was per the agreement that was approved by the Board on April 26, 1999.

Joe Tamberella requested that the Board consider re-addressing the contract issue with Griffith Energy.  

In response to Mr. Tamberella, Interim Manager Skalicky advised that the rates charged by the Golden Valley Improvement District could be re-addressed by the Board of Directors of the District.

Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, and seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, to set the I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System water usage rates for the Griffith Energy Power Plant and other system customers, plus applicable sales tax, as recommended.  The following Roll Call votes were recorded:  Supervisor Johnson-Yes, Supervisor Sockwell-No, Chairman Byers-No.  Motion was defeated by majority vote.

A brief debate ensued between the Board and legal counsel regarding the possible need for an executive session and the Board�s desire for more public information regarding the exact per gallon charge that Griffith would be paying, as it was based on a percentage of the operation maintenance and capital reserve costs.

It was the consensus of the Board to recess into executive session just prior to adjournment, or after the lunch recess, to discuss this issue.

ITEM 104: Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to adopt Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 2001-42 -   Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Kingman and Mohave County for the administration of JAIBG Grants, as requested by William J. Ekstrom, Mohave County Attorney.

ITEM 105:  Chairman Byers noted that the adoption of Board of Supervisors Resolution No 2001-43 - Approving an IGA with the Scenic Improvement District regarding Rights-of-Way and related matters, including authorizing the County Attorney to proceed with eminent domain proceedings, had been pulled by the County Manager, and, therefore, no Board action was taken.

ITEM 106: Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to authorize the payment of November and December invoices, billing statements, and claims for Superior Court mandated services of Juror Compensation, Legal Services, and Court Costs/Investigations in the amount of $24,416.61.

ITEM 107: The meeting continued with the item regarding enforcement of requirements for alternative, denitrifying on-site wastewater treatment facilities within a one-mile radius of wells with high nitrate levels in Mohave County under the new Unified Water Quality Permit Rules (Title 18, Chapter 9 of the Arizona Administrative Code).
Motion was made by Supervisor Sockwell, seconded by Supervisor Johnson, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to accept staff�s recommendation to no longer enforce the one mile radius circles as they are laid out, and use other more reasonable methods of doing nitrate management. 

ITEM 108: Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to accept Arizona Department of Environmental Quality�s offer to continue to recognize the current 1996-2000 Delegation Agreement No. 96-002, adopted by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on November 20, 1995, and extended twice by the Board on June 19, 2000, and on September 5, 2000, as being in effect until Thursday, March 1, 2001, and to defer consideration of the proposed new 2001-2006 Delegation Agreement No. 00-0025, between ADEQ and the Mohave County Health and Social Services Department, to allow additional time for review.

ITEM 109: Supervisor Sockwell advised that he was pulling the item regarding the hiring salary for Supervisor District 2 appointed Administrative Assistant/Personal Secretary at $40,000.00 per year, effective 01/02/2001, and, therefore, no Board action was taken.

ITEM 110:  Director Mead addressed the Board regarding the approval of a full time, benefits eligible employee (1.0 FTE), to be funded 50% from General Nursing and 50% from Health Start with full cost of benefits funded from General Nursing until the Health Start contract is renegotiated to include benefits, and which is to be funded through a Contingency fund transfer for the remainder of this fiscal year.

Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to approve as stated.

ITEM 111: The meeting continued with discussion regarding the performance of Mohave County Health and Social Services Department�s responsibilities for on-site wastewater treatment facilities under the Delegation Agreement between the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Mohave County Health and Social Services Department.

Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Supervisor Sockwell, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to direct the Mohave County Health and Social Services Department staff to continue to perform responsibilities as delegated  by ADEQ under the current 1996-2000 Delegation Agreement under provisions of the new Unified Water Quality Permit rules, as specified in the January 5, 2001, letter from Karen Smith, Director of Water Quality for ADEQ. 

ITEM 112: Chairman Byers advised that, in his opinion, the �timing� was not right for the Countywide special election to be called and held on March 13, 2001, for the purpose of approving a County wide one half (1/2) cent transportation excise tax for a period of twenty (20) years, as there are other more pressing issues at this time.

Ed Moore, Kingman area resident, addressed the Board opposed to higher costs that taxes would bring, and requested that the Board not place this item on an election ballot.

Jim Roberts, Chairman of the Mohave County Transportation Commission, reviewed the history regarding this sales tax issue, an issue which the Commission felt that the public desired to vote, along with the specifics of what roads would be improved.

Robert Holsinger, Golden Valley resident, addressed the Board opposed, as the  lowest income citizen would be hit the hardest.

Supervisor Johnson advised that he agreed with those opposed, as Lake Havasu City would not support  the tax and, therefore, he  would support reconsideration.

Supervisor Sockwell advised that he too supported delaying the election until after the adoption of the next fiscal year�s budget.

Motion was made by Chairman Byers, seconded by Supervisor Johnson, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to reconsider the adoption of Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 2000-496.

Motion was made by Chairman Byers, seconded by Supervisor Johnson, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to not hold the March 13, 2001, Countywide special election for the purpose of approving a County wide one half (1/2) cent transportation excise tax for a period of twenty (20) years. 

Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, seconded by Chairman Byers, and the Roll Call vote was unanimously carried to recess to Executive Session at 11:14 AM for legal advice regarding Item 101:  Set the I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System water usage rates for the Griffith Energy Power Plant and other system customers; Item 102:  Adopt I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System Policy and Procedure Memorandum No. 2000-01 and Item 103: Approval of Letter of Agreement between Griffith Energy LLC and Mohave County regarding the County�s storage of spare parts for the I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System in Griffith�s warehouse at Griffith�s Plant Site in the I-40 Industrial Corridor, and to authorize the Board Chairman to execute the Letter of Agreement.

The meeting was reconvened at 11:35 AM.

ITEM 101 & 102:  Motion was made by Supervisor Johnson, and seconded by Chairman Byers, to continue to the January 22, 2001, Meeting, Item 101: Setting  the I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System water usage rates for the Griffith Energy Power Plant and other system customers, and Item 102: Adopt I-40 Industrial Corridor Water System Policy and Procedure Memorandum No. 2000-01.

Robert Holsinger, Golden Valley resident, addressed the Board in support of the continuation for a possible class action suit that could be filed regarding this matter, and his concern that since 1980 to 1998, the aquifer under Golden Valley had dropped 23 feet.

Fredrick Williams, Golden Valley resident, advised that, in his opinion, Griffith Energy had lied to the citizens of Mohave County regarding the entire project, and, therefore, the contract should be able to be re-negotiated.

Chairman Byers advised that it was his desire to �exercise� Mohave County�s last option regarding the water agreement contract.
