Gallardo noted the County and other government buildings are lighted purple in support
of Domestic Violence victims and talked about expanding resources to help people
leave safely from dangerous situations, ultimately saving lives.
Chairman Galvin stated that the Board is wearing purple to show solidarity with
domestic violence victims, a yearly tradition paired with a proclamation. He thanked the
communications team for creating a powerful video sharing Supervisor Lesko’s story

Site Location: SEC of Carefree Hwy. and Central Ave. in the Desert Hills area
Commission Recommendation: Commission Action: On 9/11/25, the Commission voted 8-
0 (motion by Commissioner Whitney D3, seconded by Commissioner Rochwalik D3) to adopt
a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors deny Z250009. However, staff’s report to
the Commission included condition ‘a’ – ‘l’ for approval:
a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit
entitled “Carefree Commercial“, consisting of one full-size sheet, dated June 4, 2025, and
stamped received June 16, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions. Staff may
determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with the approved site
plan. Minor and major amendments to the site plan will be determined in accordance with
Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled “Carefree Commercial”, consisting of 11 pages, dated July 17, 2025, and stamped

c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is
inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number of proposed building lots/units,
drainage design, access and roadway alignments. These items will be addressed as
development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further review and/or
entitlement.
2. A traffic impact study must be submitted with future entitlement (POD or Preliminary Plat)
application(s). Due to the preliminary nature of this zone change request MCDOT traffic did
not comment on the zone change review and will make comments once more details are
provided in the future entitlements.
3. Engineering review of re-zone cases is conceptual in nature. All development and
engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa
County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and
best practices at the time of application for construction.

d. Administrative approval of a Plan of Development will be required prior to approval and
issuance of construction permits to develop and establish use of the site. Prior to issuance
of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the emergency fire protection
jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed in accordance with their
regulations and requirements, and that emergency fire protection service will be provided to
the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, local fire protection jurisdiction
review and approval will be required.
e. The CUPD overlay is applied to restrict the use of the site. Until such time as the site is
served by sewer, uses on the site shall only be those acceptable to the Maricopa County
Environmental Services Department (MCESD) that can be accommodated by septic
systems. A public water system and public sewer system shall be required prior to
establishment of any non-residential use that requires potable water.
f. This CUPD overlay shall prohibit the following land uses:
1. Marijuana establishment and dispensaries.
2. Adult-oriented establishments.
3. Auctions.
4. Vehicle Repairs.
5. Storage of hazardous materials.
6. Any use that requires access to urban services, such as water lines and sewer lines, as
determined by MCESD.
g. This CUPD overlay shall limit entitled land uses to the following:
1. Neighborhood commercial.
2. Professional offices.
3. Self-service storage facility.
h. The following C-2 CUPD development and design standards shall apply:
1. Maximum building height of 30’
2. Minimum 70’ landscape setback from the Carefree Hwy. right-of-way inclusive of a ten
foot wide multi-use trail along the entire frontage of Carefree Hwy.
3. There shall be a min. 25’ deep landscape setback along the right-of-way of Central Ave.
4. Minimum 10’ wide landscape setback/drainage channel along the southern boundary.
5. Development shall abide by all design guidelines listed for the Carefree Highway Scenic
Corridor, except as specifically deviated by these conditions of CUPD approval.
i. All outdoor lighting shall be in conformance with Section 1112 of the Zoning Ordinance,
including any outdoor lighting under the roof of open shade structures, and must be shielded
directing illumination downward at least twenty degrees below the horizonal plane at the
bottom of the light source and so as not shine onto any adjacent property in rural or
residential zoning districts. Further there shall be no indoor lighting source above 20’ in
height allowed to illuminate exterior from the building.
j. Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Zone Change
by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in accordance
with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
k. The property owner/s and their successors waive claim for diminution in value if the County
takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with conditions.

l. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant,
with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to enjoy
uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject
to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property may be
considered for revocation to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore,
stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions,
does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or
possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the
value it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the Zone Change. The Zone
Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone Change
is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the
Zone Change had never been granted.
To be continued to November 5, 2025 - Board of Supervisors' hearing.
(C-44-26-032-X-00)
The Clerk announced that per the applicants request item 11 be continued to the
November 5, 2025 meeting.
Supervisor Brophy McGee made a motion for item 11 to be continued to the November
5, 2025 Board hearing. This will give her time to meet with the developer and discuss
a precise plan of development that demonstrates neighborhood commercial needs are
being met, that adequate infrastructure will be in place for commercial uses, and that
site development adheres to scenic corridor guidelines and is compatible with adjacent
residences. Additionally, this continuance will give her the opportunity to provide
direction for future requests for commercial rezoning within the Carefree Highway
scenic corridor. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Debbie Lesko.

AQ-2025-003-RULE 353 (STORAGE AND LOADING OF GASOLINE AT A GASOLINE
DISPENSING FACILITY (GDF))
Convene a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), to
solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control
Regulations, Rule 353 (Storage and Loading of Gasoline at a Gasoline Dispensing Facility
(GDF)) and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan
(SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed
amendments to the rule and to approve submission of the amended rule as a revision to the
Arizona SIP.
Rule 353 limits emissions of volatile organic compounds during storage and loading of
gasoline at a gasoline dispensing facility (GDF). Rule 353 applies to the storage and loading
of gasoline in a stationary gasoline storage tank at a GDF with a capacity of more than 250
gallons, including, but not limited to underground gasoline storage tanks, above ground
storage tanks, and those stationary gasoline storage tanks located at airports and marinas.
The rule was adopted in 1988 and has been revised six times thereafter.
Formal Meeting Minutes
10/01/2025
Page 19 of 77
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to revise Rule 353 to
address two rule deficiencies identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to secure full approval of Rule 353 as a revision to the Arizona SIP. On November 8, 2024,
the EPA published a proposed limited approval and limited disapproval of Rule 353 in the
Federal Register. The proposed action identified two deficiencies in the rule that prevented
the rule from being approved into the SIP. On January 10, 2025, the limited approval and
limited disapproval was finalized with an effective date of February 10, 2025.
Upon adoption of the proposed rule revisions, MCAQD will submit the revised rule as a
revision to the Arizona SIP.
(C-85-26-003-X-01)
Dianne Barker, resident, noted that she is in District 5, and agreed with Supervisor
Gallardo’s comments on the efforts to continue to support Domestic Violence. She also
expressed concern about the lack of detailed information regarding revisions to the
State Implementation Plan (SIP). After speaking with Phill McNeely, Air Quality Director,
she noted that although Maricopa County consistently adds more Air-Quality controls,
the SIP still does not meet federal compliance. The documents do not specify what
revisions are being made, particularly concerning airport operations, gasoline loading
facilities, and cargo activities. Due to this lack of clarity, she requested that the item be
tabled.
Blue Crowley, resident, echoed Ms. Barker’s comments. Mr. Crowley discussed
gasoline storage facilities, noting their connection to financing light rail and the reduction
of bus services. He referenced large sums of money involved and questioned an
agenda item concerning an agreement to pass transit funds to the Air Quality
Department. He asked the Board to pull the item so he could address it later, as he
believes it relates to air quality and gasoline. He then spoke about funding for buses.
He requested that the item be tabled.

AQ-2025-002-RULE 352 (GASOLINE CARGO TANK TESTING AND USE)
Convene a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), to
solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control
Regulations, Rule 352 (Gasoline Cargo Tank Testing and Use) and the associated proposed
revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the
Board is requested to adopt the proposed amendments to the rule and to approve
submission of the amended rule as a revision to the Arizona SIP.
Rule 352 limits volatile organic compound emissions from gasoline cargo tanks. The rule
applies to any gasoline cargo tank which is used to load or unload gasoline within Maricopa
County, and to all persons who own, operate, maintain, repair, or test such gasoline cargo
tank. The rule was adopted in 1988 and has been revised five times thereafter.
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to revise Rule 352 to
address two rule deficiencies identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to secure full approval of Rule 352 as a revision to the Arizona SIP. On November 8, 2024,
the EPA published a proposed limited approval and limited disapproval of Rule 352 in the
Federal Register. The proposed action identified two deficiencies in the rule that prevented

the rule from being approved into the SIP. On January 10, 2025, the limited approval and
limited disapproval was finalized with an effective date of February 10, 2025.
Upon adoption of the proposed rule revisions, MCAQD will submit the revised rule as a
revision to the Arizona SIP.
(C-85-26-004-X-01)
John Opittek, resident, noted he works for Diamond Trucking. He spoke in opposition
to Maricopa County Rule 352 regarding gasoline cargo tank testing. He argued that the
County’s leak test is redundant because it duplicates the federally required Method 27,
with identical readings and only minor procedural differences. He noted that Method 27
allows year-round testing at no cost, while Maricopa County imposes strict testing
windows and a $280 fee, totaling about $21,560 annually, creating unnecessary
pressure on limited repair facilities. He recommended that the county recognize the
annual Method 27 for all loading terminals, allow year-round testing, and eliminate
redundant fees.
Chairman Galvin asked County Manager, Jen Pokorski, if she had any comments in
response to the speakers. Ms. Pokorski explained that the rulemaking is intended to
address deficiencies identified by the EPA, and failure to do so could result in federal
sanctions. She added that Phill McNeelly, Director of the Air Quality Department, is
available to provide more detailed information.
Supervisor Lesko requested additional information on item 19 to address the last
speaker’s concerns about redundancy with existing regulations.
Phill McNeely, Director of the Air Quality Department, and Kimberly Butler, Planning
and Analysis Manager, explained that the rules, in place since 1988, have been
updated several times due to ongoing ozone compliance requirements. Each time the
EPA revises ozone standards, the County must update its corresponding rules to stay
aligned with national regulations. For the 2008 standard, this is the third revision: the
first was conditionally approved, the second received limited approval and partial
disapproval, and the current revision addresses two remaining issues. Mr. McNeely
emphasized that these updates are not related to the test method criticized by a
previous speaker, noting that long-standing methods remain valid but must be EPA-
approved because the rules become part of the federal Clean Air Act Implementation
Plan.
Ms. Butler explained that all test methods in the rule are EPA-approved, and only
methods evaluated and accepted by the EPA can be used. While other states may use
different methods, those are not part of their SIPs and are governed by different
circumstances. If an EPA-approved test is used in another state, it can also be used in
Maricopa County. She added that although testing occurs within specific windows, all
required testing can be completed locally.
Mr. McNeeley explained that tanker trucks are required to undergo annual leak tests
and receive a decal indicating they have passed inspection. The revised rule adds
provisions allowing authorities to require additional testing if a leak is suspected
between annual inspections, along with related reporting requirements. It also allows
the use of alternative testing methods, provided the EPA approves them. He noted that
most of the underlying provisions have been in place for a long time, and these revisions
mainly address mid-year leak concerns and testing flexibility.
Formal Meeting Minutes

Supervisor Stewart raised concerns about potential overlap between federal
requirements and the County’s responsibilities, seeking clarification to avoid duplicating
federal efforts. Mr. McNeely clarified that the County conducts this work on behalf of
the federal government, using only EPA-approved testing methods that the County
reviews and adopts each year. Supervisor Stewart also inquired about the specific
testing performed by the County to meet EPA standards. Additionally, Supervisor
Stewart and Mr. McNeely discussed the fees and inspections associated with renewing
truck decals, with Mr. McNeely noting that the County operates as a fee-for-service
program and that the decal serves as a permit showing the truck has been inspected.

GRANT FUNDING FROM CONSTABLE ETHICS, STANDARDS AND TRAINING
BOARD (CESTB) FOR EQUIPMENT PURCHASE-BALLISTIC VESTS CNA25-111
Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from CESTB, (CNA25-111 June
Vacancy Grant), in the not-to-exceed amount of $2,500 for the purpose of purchasing ballistic
vests for two new Constables. The grant award begins on July 1, 2024 and ends on
December 30, 2025. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant
funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs which may be incurred by
the Constables or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County
Department of Finance has calculated the Constables' composite indirect cost rate at 9.67%,
or $241.75. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-
recoverable indirect cost is $241.75.
Upon receipt of funds and pursuant to ARS §42-17106(B), approve revenue and expenditure
appropriation adjustments to the Constables (D250) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring
(NRNP) budget associated with the grant in the amount of $2,500 for FY 2026. Grant
revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation,

and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. This budget
adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly
adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105.
The grant award is non-recurring and a cash or in-kind match is not applicable. Indirect cost
is non-recoverable in the amount of $241.75. Future ongoing cash contributions are not
required after the grant period. The grant award is not a mandated function but provides a
benefit to the citizens in allowing an increase in safety for constables/deputy constables. The
grant award is non-competitive. Non-recoverable indirect costs of $241.75 will be absorbed
by the Constables operating budget.

Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Governor’s Office of Youth,
Faith, and Family and the acceptance of funding in the amount of $150,859.82. Authorize
the Chairman to sign all applicable documents. These one-time funds will be used
exclusively to reimburse for salary and expenditures related to providing Advanced Forensic
Interviewing Training (AFIT).
This agreement commences on September 1, 2025, and will terminate on September 30,
2026. This grant will expire at the end of the agreement unless prior written approval for an
extension has been obtained from the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family. The
Maricopa County Attorney's Office's composite indirect cost rate for FY26 is 18.850%. The
grantor allows up to 15% for indirect cost recovery. The total grant indirect costs are
estimated to be $24,727.89, the recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is
$19,677.37; the nonrecoverable indirect cost is $5,050.52. The nonrecoverable indirect costs
will be covered by the departmental general fund budget.
The department has a cash equivalent match requirement of $50,286.61 and has general
fund resources to provide this match. This funding is competitive and does not require
ongoing cash contributions after the grant period ends.
Grant revenues are not “local revenues” for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by budget law.
This funding directly supports the mandated function of A.R.S. §8-817, B, 6.

GRANT FUNDING FROM U.S. DEPT. OF EDUCATION TO SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT FOR EDUCATION INNOVATION AND RESEARCH
Apply for discretionary grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education (ALN
84.411A/B/C) in the maximum amount of $10,000,000 over a period of up to 60 months; and
authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable.
The grant’s purpose is to create, develop, implement, replicate, or take to scale
entrepreneurial, field-initiated innovations to improve student achievement and attainment
for high-need students; and to rigorously evaluate such innovations. Projects that directly
benefit all students, but especially high-need students, through effective literacy instruction,
aligned to the science of reading, are strongly encouraged. There is a 10% match, which can
be cash or in-kind contributions and will be provided by participating school districts or
contractor or absorbed by the Superintendent’s operating budget. If awarded the full
$2,000,000 for fiscal year 2026, the recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant will
be $20,200. Future ongoing cash contributions are not required after the grant period. The
grant award will help support the Superintendent in meeting the mandate in A.R.S. §15-301
to collaborate with the department of education and other state agencies to assist schools in
using student data, staff development, curriculum alignment, and technology to improve
student performance. The grant award is competitive.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law.
Accepting this grant does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues
duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105.

Supervisor Stewart requested that staff provide a brief presentation on the background
of item 94 and an explanation how the funds will be used.
Jesse Gutierrez, Director Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT)
came forward. Mr. Gutierrez, explained that the Transportation System Plan 2050 is
the transportation component of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, outlining long-term
roadway needs through 2050. The plan uses a data-driven analysis of the current
system and future demands based on growth, development, zoning, and traffic patterns
to identify and prioritize improvements, assess funding needs, and create a phased
implementation strategy. He emphasized coordination with cities and municipalities, as
well as extensive public outreach to community groups, HOAs, developers, and each
district. Mr. Gutierrez noted overall, the plan provides a clear, data-supported
framework for future roadway planning, design, and funding.
Supervisor Stewart asked Mr. Gutierrez about the project timeline and confirmed that
the effort is intended to create a comprehensive regional transportation plan for
Maricopa County—one that will guide decisions on road widening, new road
construction, and improving travel for residents. Mr. Gutierrez explained that the
process begins with hiring a consultant to conduct outreach and gather data. He stated
that by around this time next year, they expect to present a full proposal to the
Transportation Advisory Board, which will be involved throughout the process via
quarterly meetings. Supervisor Stewart thanked Mr. Gutierrez for the presentation.
Marissa Hamilton, a resident, spoke in opposition to the item. She expressed concerns
about the company’s past delays and the involvement of individuals she believes
contributed to harmful transportation decisions in downtown Phoenix. She argued that
the project’s transportation demand management approach could negatively affect
Maricopa County by increasing congestion and harming businesses. She urged the
Board to closely micromanage the project if it proceeds.

AQ-2024-005-RULE 204 (EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT (ERC) GENERATION,
CERTIFICATION, AND USE)
Set a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), for
November 5, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. to solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa
County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 204 (Emission Reduction Credit (ERC)
Generation, Certification, and Use) and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona
State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to
adopt the proposed amendments to the rule, to approve the submission of the amended rule
as a revision to the Arizona SIP, and to approve the withdrawal of the original December 20,
2019, Rule 204 SIP submittal.
The purpose of Rule 204 is to allow for the generation and certification of ERCs for use as
emission offsets. The purpose of this rulemaking is to address feedback from the U.S.
Environmental Agency (EPA) as well as feedback from stakeholders.
On December 20, 2019, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) submitted
Rule 204 to the EPA for approval into the Arizona SIP, but the EPA never formally acted on
the SIP submittal. However, since the December 20, 2019, SIP submittal, MCAQD has
received informal feedback from the EPA regarding rule approvability issues and MCAQD
has worked with the EPA to adequately address these issues.
Additionally, MCAQD has received stakeholder feedback regarding rule useability and
applicability issues, including broadening the applicability of the rule to include all nonroad
engines. Broadening the applicability of the rule will allow a greater amount of nonroad
engine emission reduction credits to be issued from a wider variety of sources, thereby
increasing the availability of offsets for use by major sources in order to comply with Clean
Air Act requirements.

AQ-2025-001-INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE - RULE 360 (NEW SOURCE
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS), RULE 370 (FEDERAL HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT
PROGRAM), RULE 371 (ACID RAIN), AND APPENDIX G (INCORPORATED
MATERIALS)
Set a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), for
November 5, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. to solicit comments on incorporating federal standards into
Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations: Rule 360 (New Source Performance
Standards), Rule 370 (Federal Hazardous Air Pollutant Program), Rule 371 (Acid Rain), and
Appendix G (Incorporated Materials). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested
to adopt the proposed incorporations into the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control
Regulations.
The Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations contain several rules, Rules 360,
370, 371, and Appendix G, which incorporate by reference federal regulations from Title 40
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These federal regulations include New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) and Acid Rain regulations. Every July 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) codifies revisions made to these federal regulations during the preceding year.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate by reference the applicable federal
regulations as codified on July 1, 2025, and thereby update Rules 360, 370, 371, and
Appendix G with any revisions made to the corresponding federal rules during the preceding
year. This is necessary in order to continue to comply with the Maricopa County Air Quality
Department’s (MCAQD) delegated authority from EPA to implement and enforce NSPS,
NESHAP, and acid rain programs in Maricopa County, except for those specific authorities
retained by the EPA. After the rules are adopted by the Board of Supervisors, MCAQD will
request delegation of authority from the EPA to implement and enforce the federal standards.
Permit fees are not changing due to this action.

In accordance with A.R.S. §11-251.08 and §11-251.13, the Parks and Recreation
Department requests that the Board of Supervisors set a public hearing for December 10,
2025, to gather public comments and consider the proposed fee adjustments to the

Department’s User Fee Schedule. If approved by the Board, the revised fee schedule will go
into effect on January 1, 2026.
After consulting with the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commission, the Department has
determined that adjustments to the User Fee Schedule are necessary for cost recovery.
Updating the fee schedule will enable the Department to use collected revenues directly for
daily operations, facility maintenance, and essential repairs within the County’s regional park
system.
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the proposed revisions during its public
meeting on August 26, 2025, and did not receive any public comments. The meeting notice
was posted in accordance with state statutes and on our Department’s website. As required
by law, the matter must now be scheduled for a public hearing before the Board of
Supervisors.

Canvass the election returns for the September 23, 2025, Special Congressional District 7
General Election in accordance with the Official Results prepared by Maricopa County
Elections Department. The Maricopa County Elections Department has prepared the Official
Returns from all county precincts within Congressional District 7, declaring the vote for the
General Election held on July 15, 2025. The Maricopa County Elections requests that the
Board of Supervisors canvass these returns and approve the Official Canvass for this
election pursuant to A.R.S. 16-642 through 16-645. The Board of Supervisors is required to
canvass these returns within sixteen days following the election. The Official Canvass is on

(C-21-26-007-X-00)
Chairman Galvin asked Scott Jarrett, Elections Director for the Board, and Zach Schira,
Assistant County Manager for Elections and External Affairs, to come forward.
Mr. Jarrett thanked the Board for considering the canvassing of the Special General
Election for Congressional District 7 and reported that the election proceeded smoothly.
He explained that canvassing, required by state statute, allows the Board to certify
Maricopa County results before they are sent to the Secretary of State for statewide
certification. He added that the process incorporates post-election audits and
reconciliation to confirm the accuracy and integrity of the results.
Formal Meeting Minutes
10/01/2025

Mr. Jarrett reviewed the Special General Election Turnout slide above. He noted that
Maricopa County was one of five counties participating in the Special Election for
Congressional District 7, with just under 60,000 total voters out of more than 400,000
statewide. He said Pima County had the largest share, with over 200,000 voters. He
noted this was a very low turnout election, compared to the two previous Congressional
District elections in 2012 and 2018.
Mr. Jarrett did a brief summary of the election by reviewing the slide above and
explaining the meaning of Adjudicated Ballots and Duplicated Ballots.
Mr. Jarrett reviewed the slide above and explained the steps involved in the canvassing
process.
Formal Meeting Minutes
10/01/2025
Page 62 of 77
Mr. Jarrett asked the Board if they had any questions before he moved on to the last
slide.
Supervisor Lesko sought confirmation on the number of in person voters that actually
put a ballot in the tabulator at the voting center. Mr. Jarrett explained that 371 voters
cast ballots directly into the tabulator on Election Day, while 72 voted in person at an
early in-person voting center by checking in, receiving a printed ballot, placing it in an
affidavit envelope, and placing it in the drop box. Mr. Jarrett responded to Supervisor
Lesko’s question about the drop boxes in the voting centers and he stated that most all
drop boxes were located inside voting centers, with the exception of two: an outdoor
drop box at MCTEC with 24/7 camera monitoring and another at Avondale City Hall
monitored by a security guard. He confirmed all points raised by Supervisor Lesko.
Supervisor Gallardo thanked Mr. Jarrett, his team, and everyone involved in running
the Special Election, noting that turnout is usually low in such elections whether
congressional or small local ones. He emphasized that Maricopa County treats every
election with seriousness and works to ensure every qualified citizen can vote.
Supervisor Gallardo talked about his own experience as a former election’s employee,
he recognized the significant time and effort that elections staff put into conducting the
election.
Mr. Jarrett provided an overview of the November Jurisdictional Election as presented
in the slide above. He noted that the election will be countywide and will involve a total
of 30 jurisdictions. He explained that one of the Special Districts is a countywide District,
the election will be conducted entirely by mail. All 2.6 million registered voters not just
those on the active early voting list will receive a ballot by mail.
Supervisor Lesko asked Mr. Jarrett to explain how voters can track their ballots. Mr.
Jarrett said voters can use the personalized dashboard at BeBallotReady.Vote to log
in, track their ballots, and access other helpful information.
Formal Meeting Minutes

Page 63 of 77
Chairman Galvin asked the Clerk if there were any speaker slips received. The Clerk
said there were 2 received.
Lauri Baroni, resident, was called to come forward to speak in opposition. She asked
when will the Board move to one-day, in-person voting with hand counts and no mail-
in ballots. She raised concerns about limited public comment on the agenda, and
stressed that elections should be run with full transparency and trust.
Marissa Hamilton, resident, was called to come forward to speak in opposition. Ms.
Hamilton argued that the Board was inconsistent for opposing unsolicited ballots in the
past while now sending ballots to all Maricopa County voters without providing in-
person voting sites. She said the lack of voting locations in two precincts
disenfranchised nearly 100 voters and demonstrated why early voting responsibilities
should stay with the Recorder. She also questioned whether the reconciliation process
properly matched with the poll worker reports.
Mr. Jarrett stated that the reconciliation process used the poll workers’ reports and
confirmed that all the reports matched perfectly.
Chairman Galvin asked whether there is a difference between cities choosing all-mail
elections and how the Primary was conducted. Mr. Jarrett confirmed this, explaining
that state law allows cities and other jurisdictions to call all-mail elections, but Primary
and General Elections cannot be conducted by all mail election.
Supervisor Lesko asked Mr. Jarrett whether state law would need to change for
Maricopa County to implement a “one day, one vote” system mentioned by a speaker.
Mr. Jarrett confirmed that and said current state law requires counties to provide early
voting and mail-in voting, so “one day, one vote” is not allowed. Supervisor Lesko
reiterated that the Board of Supervisors cannot make such a change on its own and
that anyone seeking it must go to the state legislature and the governor, since the
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors cannot do it because it would violate state law.
Supervisor Stewart asked Mr. Jarrett whether the Board could improve access to in-
person voting location on Election Day, noting a speaker’s claim that some voters
lacked that opportunity. Mr. Jarrett replied that all voters had the ability to vote in person
or request a mail-in ballot. He explained that Maricopa County uses a vote-center
model, allowing any voter to cast a ballot at any vote center during 27 days of early
voting, the emergency voting weekend, or on Election Day. He acknowledged that two
small precincts lacked facilities to serve as vote centers but emphasized that all voters
still had the same in-person voting options as everyone else by using any available vote
center.
Chairman Galvin asked Mr. Jarrett to confirm that it is normal for some precincts to lack
suitable voting facilities, and that this situation is not unique to the district being
discussed. Mr. Jarrett agreed and explained that the issue stems from how the
Independent Redistricting Commission drew district boundaries. He noted that although
voters in that precinct typically vote at a site 15–16 miles away during presidential
elections, that location could not be used for a Congressional District 7 site because it
falls in a different district. Chairman Galvin pointed out the irony that pushing for more
precincts can reduce the number of available in-person voting locations and available
facilities.
Vice Chair Brophy McGee asked Mr. Jarrett to confirm that the Board’s approved
elections plan for the CD-7 Special Election did not allow the Recorder to mail ballots
to voters who were not on the early voting list. She then asked whether the election was

carried out according to that approval. Mr. Jarrett said that, to his knowledge, it was but
noted the Recorder’s Office would have the definitive answer. He added that he was
not aware of any unrequested ballots being sent in CD-7 Election. Vice Chair Brophy
McGee asked if sending such ballots would be illegal, Mr. Jarrett confirmed that it
would.
Supervisor Kate Brophy McGee made a motion to approve the official Canvass for the September
23, 2025, Special Congressional District 7 General Election pursuant to A.R.S. §16-642 through

ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW VOTING PRECINCTS AND PRECINCT BOUNDARY LINES
Pursuant to A.R.S. 16-411, approve establishment of new voting precincts and new precinct
boundary lines as shown on the maps on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and
accompanying legal descriptions, incorporated herein by reference. This action of the Board
of Supervisors shall become effective on January 2, 2026 for the 2026 elections.
State law requires the County Board of Supervisors to establish and set the boundaries of
voting precincts on or before October 1 of each year preceding the year of a general election
(ARS 16-411). Candidates, the County Recorder, and the Elections Department will rely on
these voting precinct boundaries for election-related activities. Changes made to the precinct
boundaries reflected in the proposed map are necessary to address voter population
concentrations, adjust boundaries that split precincts, remove no voter precincts, and align
boundaries with Judicial Court precincts. The final boundary lines considered input from an
virtual public comment meetings and the Elections Department’s Reprecincting website. The
attached maps and exhibits provide further details.
(C-21-26-006-X-00)
Mr. Jarrett explained that state law requires precinct-line changes to be approved by
October 1 before a General Election, and the Elections Department is recommending
updates to 235 of the County’s 935 precincts. The proposed changes include reducing
precincts that have grown beyond 5,000 voters, eliminating small “no-voter” precincts
created by past redistricting, making minor boundary adjustments tied to justice-court
changes and public safety requests (with no voters affected), and correcting situations
where city district or ward boundaries split existing precincts. He noted that not all
issues can be fully resolved, but recommended opportunities where allowed.
Supervisor Lesko confirmed with Mr. Jarrett that public meetings were held about
proposed precinct changes. Mr. Jarrett explained that five meetings were conducted,
widely noticed, and detailed the recommended changes and their rationale. He noted
feedback was largely positive, with some questions about using ZIP codes, which he
said would split subdivisions. Lesko, who attended one meeting, reported no negative
feedback and said a DPS officer’s input helped explain why some precinct boundaries
needed adjustment for proper justice court alignment.
Supervisor Stewart thanked Mr. Jarrett for conducting outreach to the State, County,
and LD chairs. He said Mr. Jarrett’s explanation helped him relay the information to an
LD chair and a few Precinct Committee members.
Chairman Glavin and Supervisor Gallardo echoed the Board’s comments and thanked
Mr. Jarrett and the elections team for their excellent work.
Formal Meeting Minutes

Chairman Galvin asked the Clerk if there were any registered speakers or comments
received for this item. The Clerk said there were two speakers.
Roger Pickerill, resident, was called to come forward to speak in opposition. He
emphasized that establishing precinct boundaries is a responsibility rooted in fairness
and equal access, not just a legal requirement. He also noted that the public deserves
a clear explanation of why the election department believes the changes are necessary.
Joe Hopf, a resident, stressed that today's precinct boundaries will impact voter access,
neighborhood integrity, and equity for working-class and minority communities,
highlighting the need for transparency, election integrity, and public trust.

ensured all Supervisors understood the precinct lines and related changes.
Justice Courts
Chairman Galvin asked the Clerk if there were any registered speakers or comments
received for item 102. The Clerk said there were two speaker slips.
102.
JUSTICE COURTS PRECINCT LINES
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 22-101, approve changes to the justice precincts, and pursuant to A.R.S
22-125(H) approve the creation of an additional justice precinct as shown on the maps on
file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and accompanying legal descriptions,
incorporated herein by reference. This action of the Board of Supervisors shall become
effective on January 1, 2026 for the 2026 elections, and then become effective for purposes
of the justice courts’ jurisdiction on January 1, 2027.
State law requires the County Board of Supervisors to create sufficient courts, or redraw the
justice court precinct boundaries according to section 22-101, in order to reduce the judicial
productivity credits for any precinct which exceeds the 1200 limit. (A.R.S. § 22-125(H)). Four
precincts currently exceed this threshold with eight more quickly approaching the limit.
Creating a new justice precinct in the West Valley plus shifting boundaries within multiple
other justice precincts as reflected in the proposed maps, address this statutory requirement.
This is accomplished by splitting the White Tank Justice Precinct in half horizontally, moving
voting precincts from the two neighboring, over-the-limit courts into the newly created court
precinct, and by multiple other precinct shifts from high JPC precincts elsewhere in the
County into neighboring low JPC precincts.
Justices of the peace and constables collaborated on this plan for several months earlier in
the year. In addition to achieving this consensus, we took into consideration the needs of the
County Elections Department, opened our web site to public comments on this issue, and
held two virtual meetings open to the public. All of this input came together to create a more
balanced workload for all justice precincts, including the newly formed justice precinct. This
redistribution of JPCs will allow the Maricopa County Justice Courts to better support the
ideal of equal and fair justice for all court customers.

The attached maps and exhibits provide further details. The information is also on file with
Clerk of the Boards Office.
Per further discussion with the election department director, redistricting lines need to be in
effect October 1,2025 for the 2026 Primary and General Elections.
(C-24-26-001-X-00)
Lauri Baroni, resident, said that changing justice court precinct lines can affect access
to justice for vulnerable groups and emphasized the need to consider travel and
language barriers. She called on the Board to monitor the changes to ensure they
promote fairness rather than administrative convenience.
Roger Pickerill, resident, spoke in opposition, stating that while state law requires the
Board to redraw boundaries when productivity thresholds are exceeded, legal
compliance does not equal public accountability. He argued the process lacked true
transparency, questioned whether the redistricting truly balances justice and warned it
may require voters to travel farther.
Supervisor Lesko stated that the justice courts presented the plan publicly and met with
the Board, emphasizing that adding a new West Valley court will reduce caseloads and
wait times, particularly for the overburdened White Tank Justice Court. She said the
plan serves constituents efficiently by using an existing building, limits costs by adding
only one court for now, and praised the work done.
Supervisor Stewart echoed Supervisor Lesko’s comments, emphasizing that adding
courts is necessary to protect the Sixth Amendment right to a fair and speedy trial. He
noted the Board’s responsibility to balance the budget while providing service and
appreciated the chief magistrate’s focus on serving the public as customers to provide
customer service.
Vice Chair Brophy McGee thanked Presiding Judge, Leonore Driggs and Associated
Presiding Judge, Jennifer Jermaine for their strong engagement but expressed interest
in exploring alternative ways to address hypergrowth with fewer boundary changes and
lower costs. Vice Chair Brophy McGee is appreciative of the work, she said she would
like to revisit the approach in the future to find more efficient solutions.
Chairman Galvin thanked Presiding Judge, Leonore Driggs for her thorough and
balanced presentation and responsiveness to the Board’s questions, as well as the
other judges in attendance. He noted that as the County grows, these issues must be
addressed while maximizing savings for taxpayers.
Motion to approve item 102 as listed on the agenda by Supervisor Kate Brophy McGee.

103.
GRANT FUNDING FROM AZ SUPREME COURT FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TO
REDUCE JUVENILE CRIME
Accept grant funding from the Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts
(Agreement No. 2026-12) in the amount of $50,000 for fiscal year 2026; and authorize the
Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant’s
purpose is to reduce juvenile crime by funding the Maricopa County Youth Career and
Education Pathways Program (YCEPP) and will help support the Superintendent’s mandate
in A.R.S. §15-913.01 to offer an education program to serve all school-age children in its
juvenile detention center. The grant funding is subject to annual legislative appropriation to
the AZ Supreme Court and application to and award by the AZ Supreme Court. The grant
agreement does not allow funds to be used for indirect costs; therefore, non-recoverable
indirect costs of $505 will be absorbed by the Superintendent’s operating budget. There is
not a matching requirement, and future ongoing cash contributions are not required after the
grant period.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law.
Accepting this grant does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues
duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105.
(C-37-26-008-X-00)
Lezley Shepherd, resident, spoke about increased funding for the Sheriff’s Office,
especially for body cameras, and stressed that prevention should take priority. She also
expressed concerns about inappropriate library materials for children and the handling
of elections, including single day voting and private vote counting.
Roger Maib, resident, stated that grant funds are taxpayer money and must be used
responsibly and transparently, with clear details on spending, goals, and measurable
outcomes to reduce juvenile crime. He urged the Board to commit to public
accountability, report results and success rates, and ensure the webinar is accessible
for public comment.
Chairman Galvin noted that the matter is legislative, involving state-appropriated funds
to the State Supreme Court, and expressed appreciation to the Chief Deputy for the
County Schools Superintendent for her public service.
Motion to approve item 103 as listed on the agenda by Supervisor Kate Brophy McGee.

Chairman Galvin asked the Clerk how many speaker slips had been received for Public
Comment. The Clerk said 13 had been received.
Kim Baker, a resident, commented about a grievance letter to the Board alleging
treason, claiming that a Superior Court clerk deliberately altered his case number to
distract. He also criticized Maricopa County Attorney, Rachel Mitchell.
Lisa Everett, a resident, discussed BNSF and the issue of preemption, noting that many
feel discouraged in collecting signatures and fighting back. She stated that BNSF uses
preemption to intimidate the public but emphasized that people still have a voice.
Marina Fadlon, resident, noted that she is a civil rights advocate, and argued that the
U.S. Constitution is supreme and that Arizona’s use of criminal charges by information
instead of grand jury indictment violates the Fifth Amendment. She contended that
these laws improperly require public officials to act against their constitutional oaths,
violating Article I, Section 10 and the Fourteenth Amendment, and characterized
emolument violations as paying officials to break the law. She also briefly referenced
her domestic abuse case involving her ex-husband.
Tanowah Downing, resident, noted that he is a civil rights litigator, and stated that he
was expanding on Ms. Fadlon’s remarks and clarified his request to the Board. He
argued that attorneys, prosecutors, and law enforcement are improperly acting under
state statutes instead of the U.S. Constitution, abusing their discretionary authority and
engaging in unconstitutional conduct, including conspiracy. He warned that he may
need to convert criminal affidavits into formal criminal complaints if the issues are not
addressed.
Jessica Saxton, a resident, stated that she was providing notice under U.S. Supreme
Court Rules 17 and 20. She alleged that the County pays judges and prosecutors who
act unlawfully, citing a specific judge she claimed engaged in criminal conduct in family
and juvenile court, and asserted that the County is incentivized to unlawfully remove

children from fit parents through Title 4E and 4B funding. She also referenced affidavits
and service related to these allegations.
Chairman Galvin asked County Attorney, Tom Liddy, to address a question and noted
that the Board cannot respond during public comment. He asked about guidelines for
alleging criminal activity against a judge, and Mr. Liddy replied that rules exist, and he
would advise the Board confidentially to maintain attorney–client privilege.
Marrisa Hamilton, a resident, stated that she confirmed Maricopa County can legally
provide and fund in-person voting locations for an all-mail ballot election. She also
shared that she is a domestic violence survivor and expressed concerns about how the
meeting was being conducted, noting that the public is limited to discuss agenda items.
Lezley Shepherd, a resident, expressed frustration that uploaded meeting videos were
muted and that she could not access the webinar for public comments. She also
questioned who manages the cameras and microphones and criticized the limit
allowing the public to speak on only two agenda items.
Roger Maib, a resident, criticized the Board for moving important agenda items through
the consent agenda and restricting public comment on certain items. He also noted that
the webinar was limited, preventing the public from providing comments.
Lauri Baroni, a resident, raised concerns that the webinar limited public comments and
lacked ADA accessibility. She also addressed issues with air quality and criticized the
Board for not funding other items.
Joe Hopf, a resident, expressed concern that sexually explicit materials in libraries do
not protect children and suggested that addressing such content should be part of
juvenile crime prevention efforts.
Roger Pickerill, resident, invited the Board to come to the hand count event.
Blue Crowley, a resident, raised concerns about being unable to comment on several
consent agenda items related to the Regional Public Transit Authority (RPTA). He also
questioned the allocation of funding between rail and bus services.
Albert Rivera, a resident, expressed sympathy for Supervisor Lesko regarding her
domestic violence experience and stated that many people were tormented during
former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s tenure. He also criticized Chairman Galvin, accusing him of
turning a meeting into a political rally and leaving early.

signs at a dangerous intersection on Happy Valley Road and El Granada Boulevard.
She emphasized collaboration with constituents, MCDOT, and County staff, as well as
ongoing work on BNSF and planning issues. Supervisor Lesko also noted meetings
