1. APPOINTMENT FOR LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 27
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1202, receive the names of the three qualified electors as candidates to
fill the vacancy for the District 27 House of Representatives seat as submitted by the Legislative
District 27 Citizens Committee regarding LD-27 House of Representatives Vacancy.
The following three names were submitted:
Reginald Bolding
Norma Munoz
Rebecca Rios
The Board of Supervisors will vote to appoint one of the candidates from the list to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Representative Ruben Gallego. (C-06-14-350-9-00)
`
Supervisor Wilcox commented that making appointments when a vacancy occurs is never an
easy task because there are always very qualified people who are interested in serving the
County. She had asked a group of community people in District 27 to form a panel to make
suggestions of people in the District who were qualified to fill this vacancy. That nominating
panel consisted of Rosie Lopez, Chairman; Susie Avelot and Pastor Warren Stewart.
The applications were screened, interviews held, and the following three recommendations
were made with a preference given: Reginald Bolding, Teach America: Rebecca Rios, a
former state legislator representing Pinal County: and the committee’s first choice, Norma
Munoz who has had a long involvement in legislative district 27 and has been a member of
the Roosevelt School Board since 1994. Ms. Munoz also has had experience in working for
constituents in the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office. Supervisor Wilcox thanked the

panel members and all who had applied for the position, and moved approval for the
appointment of Norma Munoz to fill the legislative vacancy in District 27.
Supervisor Kunasek seconded the motion. He added that he has known Rev. Stewart a long
time and felt he was also a good candidate for this position. He also referenced Mr. Bolding
saying that Art Hamilton had introduced them last week. He felt Mr. Bolding has a “great
history at a very young age” and would have an impressive future in the community he has
chosen to serve. He felt that all three candidates would well serve the County.
Supervisor Hickman noted that it had been a humbling experience to go through the
appointment process – a first for him on the Board – and it was interesting to get acquainted
with all of the candidates.
Supervisor Chucri complimented Supervisor Wilcox in putting this process together so quickly
adding that some unique circumstances had made it important to promptly fill this vacancy.
He said the legislature is handling many different things including the budget and it was
important for the House to have its full quota of members because things will be moving
quickly.
Chairman Barney said this appointment follows the statutory process and thanked the
citizen’s committee for acting quickly within such a compressed schedule. He called for the
vote.
Ayes: Barney, Chucri, Kunasek, Hickman, Wilcox
Clerk of the Board Fran McCarroll explained that her staff would bring a certification to be
signed within a few minutes. Rick Bohan could then take it to the state so the credentialing
committee could review it. Ms. Munoz could then be sworn in later in the day at the capital.
2. AMENDED SPECIAL EVENT LICENSE FOR THEATRE WEST
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 4-203.02, approve an amendment to a Special Event Liquor License
Application filed by Neal Richard Johnson for Theatre West for April 1, 2014. This amendment will
change the location of the event to 19803 RH Johnson Blvd., Sun City West, Arizona 85375 and
change the time of the event to 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The original Special Event Liquor License
was approved on February 26, 2014. (Supervisorial District #4) (C-06-14-284-L-01)
Motion to approve by Supervisor Wilcox, seconded by Supervisor Hickman
Ayes: Barney, Chucri, Kunasek, Hickman, Wilcox
Superintendent of Schools
3. SADDLE MOUNTAIN MINIMUM QTR, 2014 TAX RATE AMENDMENT
Correct the action taken on August 19, 2013, by the Board of Supervisors regarding the “Maricopa
County 2014 Tax Levy Packet;” specifically correct the rate to 1.2976 for Additional Education Aid
for Saddle Mountain (Primary AV) from 0.2344, adopted pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-992.
A review of the information related to this district indicates that there was an error in the
calculation. The initial Additional Aid calculation used the incorrect Qualifying Tax Rate (QTR).
The QTR applicable to common schools rather than unified schools was mistakenly used:
therefore, the initial calculation understated the amount of qualifying taxation for that district. This
action does not impact, nor change the valuation of the properties in this district, but is limited to
an error in the calculation of the adopted rate. (C-37-14-056-6-00)

Supervisor Chucri said that mistakes happen and several taxpayers had noticed this one and
notified the County. He noted that problems, and especially taxation problems, should be
promptly solved. He said that this is a joint effort and he hoped for a quicker resolution if a
similar thing should occur in the future.
Motion to approve by Supervisor Wilcox, seconded by Supervisor Hickman
Ayes: Barney, Chucri, Kunasek, Hickman, Wilcox
PRESENTATION
Superintendent of Schools
4. PRESENTATION REGARDING MARICOPA COUNTY REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT #509
The presentation will provide the Board of Supervisors information on the governance of the
school district, enrollment projections, budgets, and educational programs of the Maricopa County
Regional School District.
Pursuant to A.R.S. §15-308, Providing Educational Services of an Accommodation School, the
county school superintendent will provide a report to the county board of supervisors on the
county school superintendent’s plans for the provision of accommodation school services for the
next school year and the projected number of students at each accommodation school in the
district. (C-37-14-040-P-00)
Dr. Don Covey, Superintendent
Kristine Morris, Deputy Superintendent
Ernest Rose, Maricopa County Regional School District Superintendent
Kristine Morris, Deputy Superintendent of Schools, reported on the progress made by the
Maricopa Regional Accommodation District during the past year. She explained there is a
governing board to make sure the work of the district is done with transparency.
Donna McHenry said she has served on the District #509 School Board for the past three and
a half years and she appreciates that it plays an important role in the lives of youth who may
need additional support to continue as law abiding citizens in their community. She
introduced Ernest Rose, the Superintendent of the District.
Mr. Rose explained the vision, mission and goals of the Accommodation School District and
said their enrollment data shows that the number of children who enter the detention facility
has substantially declined over the past few years. Enrollment in (SY=school year) SY2011-
2012 was 1,974: in SY2012-2013 it was 1,711: and in SY2013-2014 it is 1,175.
During that same time period recidivism also declined. In the SY2011-2012 school year 580
students returned to detention (29.38%): in SY2012-2013, 501 returned (29.28%) and in SY
2013-2014 only 215 (18.30%) students have returned. Mr. Rose attributed this to efforts
being made in the community to alleviate recidivism. He said, “It is our hope that we are
working ourselves out of a job.” There are three tracks in juvenile detention: obtaining a GED,
credit recovery and skills enhancement.
Chairman Barney asked about the number of students. Mr. Rose replied that the average
number incarcerated at any given time over the last three years was 75 students. He said he
believed that a great deal is accomplished in the short time the students are there. The
detention lifestyle denotes a lot of coming and going and change and the focus is on “exit
upon entry” because the goal is to accomplish a lot in a short time period. More than 1,100

students have been enrolled at the school this year. He said there is a constant flow of
students with new ones entering every day. They usually have a student for only two weeks.
All are detained in secure care.
Students develop an Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP) upon enrollment and are
encouraged to maintain their ECAP goals when they leave detention and go back to their
community school. Students are encouraged to set goals in home and family, recreation,
community and service, and in career and education. Their skill levels are assessed in
reading, writing and mathematics when they enter the detention school. They attend classes
in the core subjects, English, math, science and social studies.
Mr. Rose said revenue continues to slightly exceed expenses because of their well-managed
funds and diligence in making certain they don't spend more than what is received. He
explained the four funds in the projected cash balance report for 2014-15. He indicated the
community organizations they work with that includes MCESA, Boys & Girls Clubs,
Tumbleweed, A New Leaf, Kids at Hope and Maricopa Workforce Connections, Human
Services Department and southwest key programs.
Chairman Barney asked how many school sites there are in the Valley.
Mr. Rose replied there are currently 11 sites scattered throughout the County.
Supervisor Hickman asked if the District reaches out for parental support and what kind of
follow-up happens with the parents.
Mr. Rose said family involvement is very good. The teachers are responsible for connecting
with the families once the student gets out of detention and he expressed pride in the
involvement of many of the parents. They are planning to hold family nights to encourage
activities involving families as a whole, such as in learning to cook a healthy meal together.
He added that children and their parents are invited to volunteer at the community food bank.

Dr. Silva said this campaign started in 2013 and is a three-year effort to reduce euthanasia in
Maricopa County. There are seven member organizations. He said that with one exception –
the fostering of animals – the campaign is ahead of its goals. He listed 2013
accomplishments: 5% decrease in the number of animals entering shelters in the past year;
3% increase in the Live Release Rate and a 14% decrease in euthanasia compared to a year
ago. There was an 11% increase (40,676) in spay/neuter procedures: owned dog spay/neuter
procedures was 150% above goal and owned cat spay/neuter procedures was 31% above
goal in the same period. He said the 2013 Spray/Neuter Accomplishments were successful
for the animal population in Maricopa County.
Supervisor Kunasek noted that over the years he has attended many kick-off functions for
these efforts and to see the follow-through is very reassuring. He added that he appreciated
all the donors and volunteers who made it happen saying they had exceeded some very
ambitious goals.
Chairman Barney asked everyone present who worked in Animal Care to stand and be
acknowledged saying they represent millions of dollars and tens of thousands of hours spent
in a true labor of love.
