Councilman Judd talked about the above slide that showed the project area and he
gave a brief description of the project. He said this project would include about 3500
acres of Flood Control District land that they want to activate as recreational space,
primarily as conservation space. The focus is to preserve this space for the future of
the community.
Director Lesko asked Councilman Judd what part of the McMicken Dam area would be
improved and asked for street names as boundaries. Councilman Judd referred to the
map on the slide and clarified that this was not intended as a development but to
conserve and preserve the land at this time. He provided additional information on
boundaries.
Director Lesko confirmed with Councilman Judd that any improvement or expense
would be sponsored by the City of Surprise and would not interfere with the dams’
purpose which is to protect infrastructure and Luke Air Force Base from occasional
flooding.
Mayor Sartor reiterated the mission is preservation and conservation.
Director Lesko encouraged the Board to approve this IGA. She said this has been a
long time in the making and with the City of Surprise’s partnership, this will offer the
public additional recreation area while preserving the open land that is in the flood plain.

from a previous meeting in December 2024. Mr. Ellsworth said there has been
extensive discussion on the development of this property, both in favor and in
opposition since the 1990’s. The concerns focus on density, preservation of the
environment, water availability, and the use of septic systems. He said the opposition
comes from the Salt River/Pima Indian Community (SRP-MIC) and the Fort McDowell
/Yavapai Nation (FMYN) that borders the land to the west. The parties involved have
been working to mitigate the concerns. Mr. Ellsworth listed the most recent conditions
of approval. He read condition ‘w’ into the record that addressed archeological findings
and specific direction on how to manage those findings. Condition ‘w’ was agreed upon
by the local Indian Communities involved.
Wendy Riddell, with Berry Riddell, Attorney for the applicant, came forward to present.
Ms. Riddell spoke about the reputation of the developer as seen on the slide above.
Ms. Riddell reviewed the slide above, outlining the request.

Tom Liddy, County Attorney’s Office, stated it was the position of the County Attorney’s
Office that there was no waiver in place.
Mr. Flint commented on the legality of this process, saying the County does not have
jurisdiction in Grayhawk for rezoning and if passed today, this would be done illegally.
Larry Lazarus, Attorney, represented the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation (FMYN). He
stated the leaders of the FMYN were present at the meeting today. Mr. Lazarus agreed
that there has been a lot of discussion regarding stipulations and the bottom line is this
development would be detrimental to the area. He stated the downzoning is not
accurate. Mr. Lazarus named the five main concerns of his client: impact to the
available water resources; wastewater contamination with the planned septic systems
rather than sewer; insufficient fire protection, overwhelming the existing fire resources;
preservation of cultural resources; exacerbating existing sedimentation problems near
the river due to grading for the development. Mr. Lazarus said there needs to be an
assurance that there will not be ground water contamination. He talked about several
of the stipulations and the concerns the FMYN has and does not think a Homeowners
Association (HOA) will be funded properly to address future problems with issues like
septic maintenance. Mr. Lazarus said the FMYN would like to add an additional
stipulation related to funding to ensure the assurances made would be kept.
Chairman Galvin and Mr. Lazarus talked about the remedies available if there is a
violation of the stipulations, including holding the HOA responsible.
Kathleen Kenney Haines, resident, ceded her time to Randy Haines.
Randy Haines, resident, spoke in opposition. He talked about stipulations and stated
that they do not work. He said there is no infrastructure in this pristine desert and if
stipulations did work, this community would have been built out 12 years ago when this
first came up. Mr. Haines said when there have been violations in the past, nothing
happens to remedy the violation. He stated that when rezoning occurs, it is irrevocable.
He talked about the County’s inability to enforce stipulations. He was concerned about
Wildcat Development and Mr. Haines stated one way to make this work is to put
enforceable regulations in effect before the rezoning and entitlements take place. He
asked that this project be further studied so that there is a better plan in place that will
support the community in the long term.
Stephen Anderson, Gammage Burnham, Land Attorney representing the Salt River
Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC), spoke in opposition. He said his client
is primarily opposed to this project due to the lack of a private water company, as
required in Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) that offers state regulatory oversight. Mr.
Anderson stated that the applicant has been respectful in the negotiation process and
there have been many stipulations developed and compromises made in the process.
Chairman Galvin asked Jen Pokorski, County Manager, and Darcy Kober, Assistant
County Manager, about the requirement of a water provider. Ms. Kober stated the
assured water supply falls under Planning and Zoning and said Mr. Ellsworth would
assist in answering these questions. Mr. Ellsworth confirmed the assured water source
portion is established after the platting process and is done through the Arizona
Department of Water Resources (ADWR).
Stuart Bradley, resident, ceded his time to the next speaker, Scott Carpenter.
Scott Carpenter, Attorney, representing the Goldfield HOA, spoke in opposition. Mr.
Carpenter echoed the previous opposition related to water, wastewater, and the need

for a wastewater treatment plant, not hundreds of septic systems. He thought it curious
that at the last minute, it was decided that the HOA would oversee the management of
those septic system inspections. The HOA management system is fleeting and with
each successive board comes different priorities, one is to keep assessments low cost.
Inspections are needed. Owners are responsible to fund all the inspections and repairs
and there are no guarantees. He concluded that to "just create an HOA" will not work.
Barry Wilkens, resident and neighbor in the community, spoke in opposition. He said
the community now has a zoning of R190 and he said he believes this new
development should be the same zoning.
Dixi McKenzie, a new resident of Goldfield Ranch, spoke in opposition. She talked
about the use of septic exclusively in a new development. Ms. McKenzie stated that
septic is used when there are no other options. She talked about the heavy traffic right
now and the increase that will result when a development of this size goes in. She said
she is in favor of responsible development.
Ward McKenzie, resident, ceded time to Derek Flint.
Kim Robertson, resident, ceded time to Derek Flint.
Evelyn Keller ceded her time to next speaker, John Keller.
John Keller, resident of Goldfield Ranch, spoke in opposition. He said once the
rezoning is done, there will be a devaluation of properties in the area. Mr. Keller talked
about the problem of septic being the only source of wastewater management and to
be near a river creates additional concerns. He said Grayhawk has a great reputation,
but nothing says they will maintain ownership in the long-term.
Larry Webster, resident, and owner of a 30-acre ranch that borders the preserve, spoke
in opposition. As a retired construction firm owner, his company did work for the FMYN
and he is aware of the opposition from the tribe regarding large development like this
on the land, with concern about ground water. He added that the land out there is not
appropriate for septic systems due to the poor percolation rate.
Chairman Galvin asked Mr. Ellsworth about the permitting process for a septic system.
Mr. Ellsworth said each lot (after the platting process) would need to go through the
permitting process for a septic system or an alternative.
Ms. Kober, speaking for Environmental Services, confirmed the need for each parcel
to undergo an analysis to determine the correct wastewater system.
Supervisor Stewart confirmed that today the discussion is about rezoning. He then said
if the area gets rezoned, the viability of the plat for septic systems will be determined
during the platting process.
Mr. Ellsworth confirmed Supervisor Stewart’s statement and said the current zoning
was done in 2008 and since then, developers could not move forward with any
development of the infrastructure which is why the developer is seeking rezoning so
they can move forward.
Seth Chalmers, Registered Civil Engineer, expressed concern about the traffic safety
and having a development with the only access onto a busy highway 87. The highway
has a 65-mph speed limit and having residential traffic entering would be dangerous.

Chairman Galvin asked the Clerk if there were any more speakers. The Clerk said no
additional speakers but there was an email in opposition received from Robert and
Theresa Franklin.
Chairman Galvin commented on the traffic concerns that were expressed. He asked
Mr. Ellsworth to talk about the traffic analysis from the Commissioners standpoint.
Mr. Ellsworth said that many of the concerns are addressed during the development
process. MCDOT will be part of the discussion and based on the total acreage and
number of proposed homes, the density does not attract traffic concern at this time.
The stipulations refer to traffic patterns. Mr. Ellsworth talked more about the density
concerns, and he stated this is rural density and relatively low compared to the total
acreage and the developer takes into consideration the preservation and conservation
of the area. He spoke about the Verde River proximity and said it is 1.8 miles away. Mr.
Ellsworth spoke briefly about drainage questions that have specific requirements
according to Maricopa County permitting.
Vice Chairman Brophy McGee asked Planning and Zoning staff about septic in the rural
portions of the County. Mr. Ellsworth said city sewer is not available in rural areas.
Ms. Kober talked about Environmental Services and how code compliance functions
with septic systems.
Ms. Riddell spoke on slide 18, seen above. She commented on the concern made
earlier that zoning is irrevocable, which is not correct. Ms. Riddell stated that the
stipulations set out during this process governs the development. Ms. Riddell referred
to a development, Verde Village, on the left side of the slide, and noted the high density
and proximity to the Verde River. The Goldhawk development, seen on right, is further
from the Verde River and so the concern would be less.

In reviewing the slide above, Ms. Riddell said the HOA is a good system and spoke
confidently about the ability of the HOA to manage the septic system.
Funding for Septic Replacement slide was reviewed, and Ms. Riddell stated that water
issues are governed by Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR).
Formal Meeting Minutes

Ms. Riddell talked about the transportation/traffic concerns and used the above slide to
compare the Anthem densities with the proposed Goldhawk densities and said this is
not a suitable comparison.
Ms. Riddell said the above slide shows a more accurate comparison.
Formal Meeting Minutes

Ms. Riddell spoke briefly to review the above slide on the important issue of fire service.
Ms. Riddell concluded her presentation and expressed appreciation to the tribes for
taking the time to work with the developer.
Chairman Galvin asked Ms. Riddell to review the “sticking points” and the resolutions:
Fire service agreement; repatriation of remains if found on the land; water issues and
the ongoing involvement with ADWR and Assured Water Supply; drainage and
sedimentation concerns and the continued involvement with the tribe; building
envelope issue per the stipulations which will be addressed during the platting phase.
Chairman Galvin confirmed that if there is no fire service agreement or if there is no
water agreement reached, the development does not move forward.
Supervisor Stewart asked for details and clarification on water runoff and septic
leaching impact and setbacks. Ms. Kober stated the Arizona Administrative Code
designates the setbacks and she itemized those numbers.
Ms. Pokorski said that subdivisions have drainage regulations that require an onsite
retention basin which is the first line of defense.
Supervisor Stewart asked about Wildcat Developers and lot splitting. A detailed
conversation ensued regarding lot splitting and zoning regulations.
Chairman Galvin asked if Ms. Riddell had any further comments on these matters. Ms.
Riddell said if this project is approved, Wildcat building cannot exist. Without this zoning
change, it might be possible for Wildcat builders to come in.
Vice Chairman Brophy McGee talked about the neighborhood next door and asked if
they are on a septic system Ms. Riddell said yes, they are and they are not governed
by an HOA.
Motion to concur with the Planning Commission recommendation for approval by
Resolution by Supervisor Kate Brophy McGee, confirming that single family rural is the
lowest density residential land use category in the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The
motion was seconded by Supervisor Steve Gallardo

improvement plans. The TIS shall be updated prior to any final plat approvals and with each
development phase to document significant changes to the development plan. The project
must comply with all recommendations in the MCDOT-approved TIS.
3. A minimum of two (2) points of access shall be provided to serve the subdivision. The
main access must be paved. A secondary access shall be provided that consists of (at a
minimum) an all-weather access as defined per MCDOT Roadway Design Manual Section
4.7.2 and Maricopa County Drainage Policies and Standards Sections 6.2.2 and 6.7.
4. Dead-end streets (i.e. cul-de-sacs) shall be limited to a length of 1,000 feet, measured
from the intersection street center-line to the center of the cul-de-sac bulb. Cul-de-sacs shall
provide access to not more than fifteen (15) building lots unless a secondary emergency
access is provided.
5. 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.
6. Applicant should notify ADOT of any development proposal (SR 87). The Developer shall
provide written documentation of ADOT's review and response. ADOT documentation shall
be received before any preliminary plat approval.
e. The following Rural-43 RUPD standards shall apply:
1. Minimum Lot Width: 120’
2. Hillside Height Regulations: The height of all buildings and structures, including retaining
walls, shall not exceed 30’ from finished pad grade(s) through any building cross section at
any point, but in no instance shall any building or structure exceed 30’ in height as measured
from the highest point of natural grade on the respective lot. Construction permits for each
lot shall include an engineered plan with a cross-section through the primary structure at the
highest point of the proposed height elevation, finished pad grade(s), and identification of
the maximum natural grade of the respective lot shown on the plan.
3. Any parcel within the Rural-43 RUPD zoning district that is not created by a recorded
subdivision plat shall adhere to the development standards of the Rural-190 zoning district.
f. 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.
g.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.

h. The owner shall develop the property as a “subdivision” as defined in A.R.S. § 32-2101
that requires an Assured Water Supply in accordance with A.R.S. § 45-576 and A.A.C. 12-
15-701 et. seq. The owner shall submit documentation to the Planning Director
demonstrating an Assured Water Supply for each final plat. The owner shall submit
documentation to the Planning Director demonstrating an Assured Water Supply for 1,941
acres, which may be developed in phases.
i. Each septic system will be installed by a certified third-party contractor as approved by a
Homeowners’ Association (HOA) that will be established and in accordance with the
requirements established by the Arizona Administrative Code and the Maricopa County
Environmental Services Department. The HOA will regularly inform the homeowners of their
obligation to have a certified third-party contractor: 1) inspect their septic system every five
years for the first twenty years from installation and every three years thereafter; 2) regularly
maintain (e.g. regularly pump); and 3) if necessary, repair or replace their septic systems
pursuant to best practices in the industry. The HOA will retain a list of certified third-party
contractors for this purpose. Homeowners will be required to provide written confirmation to
the HOA of their compliance with each of the obligations outlined in this Condition. If a
homeowner fails to confirm in writing to the HOA that they have met each of these septic
system compliance obligations, or if the HOA for any reason becomes aware of the need to
inspect, maintain, repair, or replace a homeowner’s septic system (including due to failure of
said system, i.e., the system can no longer effectively treat and dispose of wastewater), the
HOA will use a certified third-party contractor to inspect, maintain, repair, or replace the
homeowner’s septic system within three (3) months, at the homeowner’s expense. A failure
of any septic system shall be reported to the HOA within thirty (30) days of learning of such
failure. The obligations set forth in this Condition shall be included in the HOA covenants,
conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs).
j. Before the sale of any lot, the Developer shall place an easement on each lot to be recorded
in the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office authorizing the HOA to enter the lot to inspect,
maintain, repair, or replace any septic system in conformance with the requirements of
Condition ‘i’.
k. A maximum total of 2 acres of turf in the aggregate shall be permitted across all common
areas. All non-turf landscaping on common areas must utilize only plants from the Arizona
Department of Water Resources Low Water Use & Drought Tolerant Plants List for the
Phoenix Active Management Area. The HOA shall prohibit the use of natural turf for front
lawns on all lots within the HOA.
l. Pre-determined Building Envelopes will be established on each lot to restrict single family
development to a maximum 60% disturbance per lot, excluding driveways and utilities, and
a maximum 10% revegetation/remediation.
m. To preserve on lot and adjacent open space, construction activities will be restricted to
occur only within the pre-determined Building Envelope and designated driveway and utility
area. Native plants that are suitable for salvage shall be maintained during construction and
replanted upon completion for on-site revegetation. Areas outside of pre-determined Building
Envelopes or revegetated areas will be preserved and maintained in their native condition.
n. Until annexation of the entire Goldhawk at the Preserve, the master developer shall notify
all future residents that they are not located within an incorporated city or town, and therefore
will not be represented by, or be able to petition a citizen-elected municipal government.
Notification shall also state that residents will not have access to most municipally managed
services. Such notice shall be included on all plats, and be included in all Homeowner
Association covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs).

o. Prior to final plat for a given phase, fire protection shall continue to be established either
through the Goldfield Ranch Fire District or with another qualified fire provider. The developer
shall, prior to final plat approval, submit evidence of a fire services agreement covering all
lots shown on the final plat and inform any mutual and automatic aid agencies of the services
agreement. Applicant shall continue to work with the Goldfield Ranch Fire District regarding
specific needs through the platting process.
p. Developer shall ensure sufficient fire flow and storage capacity is available for the
development, commit to sprinkler each home (and add note regarding this on all recorded
plats), and to construct fire hydrants at key locations throughout the development, and near
entrances and accessible to all of Goldfield Ranch.
q. Developer shall provide a copy of the final Grading and Drainage Plan (Plan) to the
Chairperson of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation or their representative (Nation), with a
copy to the Nation’s Environmental Department Manager, concurrently with the submission
of the Plan to the County, and shall meet and confer with the Nation upon request to discuss
and if possible reasonably respond to concern raised by the Nation about the Plan.
r. The Applicant will provide notice of any submittal of a preliminary or final plat to Maricopa
County to the General Counsel of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the Salt River Pima-
Maricopa Indian Community.
s. The Developer shall notify the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the Salt River Pima-
Maricopa Indian Community a minimum of 30 days prior to performing any additional
archeological work such as data recovery on the property.
(C-44-25-101-X-00)
Supervisor Kate Brophy McGee made the motion to approve item 8 in accordance with
revised conditions ‘a’ – ‘x’ as noted in this morning’s handout memo and corrected by
Staff, noting Rural-43 RUPD zoning to be a downzoning consistent and compatible with
the surrounding zoning of Goldfield Ranch. The conditions address concerns
expressed by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community, Goldfield Ranch Fire District, and Goldfield Ranch Property Owners
Association. Maximum disturbance envelopes will be delineated for every lot, every
home will be sprinklered, a Homeowner’s Association will be created to maintain and
repair the individual on-lot septic systems, and any lot-splits will be required to adhere
to Rural-190 standards. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Steve Gallardo
Ayes: Thomas Galvin, Kate Brophy McGee, Mark Stewart, Debbie Lesko, Steve
Gallardo
Supervisor Stewart thanked the neighbors who came down. He said that many of the
concerns that have come up will be remedied at the platting stage. Supervisor Stewart
acknowledged there is a need for housing at all levels.
Chairman Galvin thanked everyone who came to the meeting today. He said he has
studied this project for a year, and the decision to move forward is not taken lightly.
Chairman Galvin said there has been great consideration given to density and
responsible development, regarding fire, water, septic, environmental concerns. It was
important to avoid wildcat development, and he was satisfied with the cooperation
between the tribes, developer, and citizens. Chairman Galvin supported the idea that
in order to keep the density in check, there needed to be rezoning to manage the land,
with legal guardrails in place. He concluded by saying his support of this request and

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 205 (Emission Offsets Generated by Voluntary Mobile Source Emission
Reduction Credits) 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 May 4, 2023, Rule
205 SIP submittal.
The purpose of Rule 205 is to allow for the generation and certification of mobile source
emission reduction credits (MERCs) for use as emission offsets through voluntary captive
fleet vehicle replacement or retrofit. The purpose of the rulemaking is to remedy deficiencies
identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and to address stakeholder
comments.
On May 4, 2023, MCAQD submitted Rule 205 to the EPA for approval into the Arizona SIP.
EPA reviewed Rule 205 and identified deficiencies which precluded approval of Rule 205
into the SIP. MCAQD has worked with the EPA to adequately address the deficiencies.
Additionally, MCAQD received stakeholder feedback proposing an additional rule revision
under Appendix A whereby baseline emissions are determined using the original vehicle
engine model year. This revision is not part of the revisions to address the EPA identified
deficiencies. This proposed revision will allow a greater amount of MERCs to be calculated
thereby creating a greater incentive for captive fleet owners to replace or retrofit old, higher
NOx emitting vehicles. Rule 205 was developed as an economic incentive program and the
only way to make it an effective incentive program is by revising the MERC calculation to
use the emissions of the original vehicle.
MCAQD is planning to withdraw the May 4, 2023, SIP submittal and replace it with a new
Rule 205 SIP submittal where both the EPA’s identified deficiencies are addressed and the
revised calculation methodology is included.
(C-85-25-023-X-01)
Dianne Barker, resident, spoke in favor of this item. She understood this was an
incentive to retrofit some of the fleet vehicles in Maricopa County. This will help reduce
the chemicals that contribute to air quality problems.
Blue Crowley, resident, talked about how tailpipe emissions and heat contribute to the
ozone. He said it is important to reduce tailpipe emissions and one way is using the
buses more. He asked what the Board is doing to help the bus system work more
efficiently.

ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR THE 2025 CD7 SPECIAL ELECTIONS
The list of vote centers and emergency voting centers and their hours of operation are on file
with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and retained in accordance with LAPR approved
retention schedule and are posted on Maricopa County's Elections website. If a vote center
established pursuant to this resolution becomes unavailable and there is not sufficient time
for the Board of Supervisors to convene to approve an alternate location for that vote center,
the Elections Director that oversees in-person voting is authorized to make changes to the
approved vote center location and shall notify the public and the Board of Supervisors
regarding the change as soon as practicable. The alternate vote center shall be as close in
proximity to the approved vote center location as possible.
The list of vote centers and emergency vote centers as of May 21, 2025, are listed in exhibits
(A) and (B).
The Board of Supervisors also authorized the use of drop boxes for the CD Special Primary
and General Elections. The list of drop boxes is included in exhibit (C). The drop boxes will
adhere to the security requirements established in the December 2023 Arizona Secretary of
State’s Elections Procedures Manual and will be used to accept early ballots dropped off by
voters in their early ballot affidavit envelope. The list of drop boxes and their hours of
operation will be on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and retained in accordance
with LAPR approved retention schedule and are posted on Maricopa County's Elections
website. If a location authorized pursuant to this resolution becomes unavailable and there
is not sufficient time for the Board of Supervisors to convene to approve an alternate location,
the Elections Director that oversees in-person voting is authorized to designate an alternate
drop box location and shall notify the public and the Board of Supervisors of the change as
soon as practicable. The alternate drop location box shall be close in proximity to the
approved drop box location and adhere to the security requirements established in the
December 2023 Arizona Secretary of State’s Elections Procedures Manual.
(C-21-25-034-X-00)
Chairman Galvin asked the Clerk if there were any registered speakers or comments
received for item 69. The Clerk said one was received.
Merissa Hamilton, resident, said she is opposed to this plan because the voting
locations are too far apart and therefore disenfranchising voters. Ms. Hamilton said the
Formal Meeting Minutes
05/21/2025
Page 59 of 69
voters she is referring to are between 80 and 120 minutes round trip to a voting location
and that constitutes lack of accessibility. She claimed civil rights are being violated.
Supervisor Lesko asked Elections staff to come forward to offer additional information.
Zach Schira, Assistant County Manager and Scott Jarrett, Elections Director came
forward.
Supervisor Lesko asked if this election plan violated federal laws? Mr. Schira clarified
that this was to approve voting center locations not to approve an election plan. To vote
on this resolution would not violate federal law.
Supervisor Lesko asked if the voters live a long distance from a vote center, can they
request an early ballot by mail? Mr. Jarrett said yes, they can request a ballot by mail.
Supervisor Lesko mentioned the Board denying Recorder Heap’s proposal to mail out
ballots, unrequested, and the opinion letter from County Attorney Rachel Mitchell that
to do that would be unlawful. Mr. Jarrett said the circumstances surrounding this
election would not allow the ballots to be mailed out unrequested.
Tom Liddy, County Attorney’s Office. came forward to clarify that federal laws do not
dictate the elections. Election laws are written in state law, laws that are created and
passed in the Arizona Legislature. Mr. Liddy said there is no reason for the Board to
seek legal counsel in this matter because the County Attorney’s office has fully vetted
all election matters for the Board of Supervisors.
Vice Chairman Brophy McGee confirmed from the previous meeting that in this rural
area, there were no public buildings within the precincts where the County could have
a vote center.
Mr. Jarrett clarified the locations and gave mileage numbers and dates for early voting
for the precinct in question. All the locations are ADA compliant with state and federal
laws. Mr. Jarrett said there are no voters that are two hours away from a vote center.
Supervisor Stewart asked if there has been any outreach for the 107 voters impacted
by this issue. Mr. Jarrett said in conjunction with the Recorders Office, the County will
send out a letter to inform voters, adding that many of the voters are already on early
voting.
Chairman Galvin confirmed that voter outreach is typically done by precinct
committeemen of the respective parties. Mr. Schira said there is a robust
communication plan that informs voters.

Policy (HR2435) effective 05/21/2025.
This Policy applies to all Maricopa County appointed departments, the Flood Control District
of Maricopa County (Special Districts), and the Maricopa County Library District (Special
Districts). The Board of Supervisors is authorized to jointly adopt policies applying to the
Special Districts under the Intergovernmental Agreement, C-06-18-393-6-00, approved on
April 11, 2018. An elected office may follow this Policy for its Employees when it does not
have a similar policy.

Chairman Galvin asked staff to come forward for item 71.
Emily Parrish, Director of Human Resources, stated this item was continued from May
7, 2025. She said this continuance was to add an element of the pre-employment
background check. She said this is regarding employment confirmation not related to
criminal background checks. Ms. Parrish said the proposed change in preemployment
Formal Meeting Minutes
05/21/2025
Page 61 of 69
checks has been vetted by their legal team and the change will include a 2% random
check in addition to the checks requested by individual departments.
Supervisor Lesko thanked Chairman Galvin for the continuance and resulting
adjustment to the agreement for the random check. She said she understood the
reason to randomize the checks was due to the rising cost of conducting these checks
on every single applicant.
Supervisor Stewart confirmed with Ms. Parrish that the criminal checks will still be done.
Supervisor Gallardo commented on the time investment required to do background
checks. He stated he wanted additional information on how the 2% random check would
be conducted before he would support this policy change on the application process.
Supervisor Lesko confirmed this change would apply to employment verification not
education qualification.
Ms. Parish clarified the method used for this, which is usually to confirm the applicant
has worked where they stated and that Human Resources does the random checks,
not the department.
