MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE

SHERIFF’S POSSE COMMUNITY ROAD IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE DISTRICT BOARD

June 12, 2026 5:00 P.M.

The residence of Randy & Carol Loemker

2190 S Wolverton Trail, Prescott, AZ 86303

The public hearing for adoption of the FY 2027 budget (see the website, www.spcrimd.org) comprised a summary by Randy, and elicited minimal discussion.

1. Following the public hearing, the Board meeting was called to order at 5:18 P.M.  Attending were Randy Loemker, Lisa Genshock, Amy Rose, and seven other community members.

2.   Randy's motion to approve the budget and assessment for FY27 as proposed was approved unanimously.

3.   With a minor change in wording a motion to approve the minutes of the 5/11/26 meeting was approved unanimously.

4.   Amy reported that revenue for the FY2026 fiscal year continues to track toward target.

5.   Randy reviewed the possible FY27 road maintenance budget usage, primarily crack sealing and shoulder repair. Responding to a question from Bob Lambert, he opined that the French drain appears to be working and affirmed that he would watch for drainage needs near the Weekes Road intersection.

6.   In order to minimize Board meetings, Randy moved that he be granted the latitude without further Board approval to spend up to the budgeted amount for snow plowing and road maintenance, limited to $6000 per vendor for sealing and $2000 per vendor on other items.

7.   Randy reminded attendees of the upcoming election for his Board seat, for which he intends to run but is also willing to mentor anybody else who seeks to become a candidate. Further, he reminded all that an additional Board seat will become available with Lisa's resignation, which will be filled by appointment for the remainder of her two-year term.  Volunteers are encouraged.  In the interim, Randy's motion that he take over the job as Records Officer was unanimously approved.  Joe Veranth reminded the group that though positions such as Records Officer are required by law, they do not have to be filled by Board members.

     Bob asked what would happen if there were insufficient volunteers to staff a three-person Board.  It was explained that in such event the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors would take over as the acting Board.  This could have dire consequences, since the BOS would not actually do any work, but rather hire vendors and County contractors to manage the RIMD with no incentive to minimize the cost.  Lisa pointed out that the work required of a Board member was "not a big deal"; her reasons for stepping down involved other things.

8.   The next Board meeting, to audit the 2026 finances and presumably appoint Lisa's replacement, is planned for July 30 at 5:00 P.M.

9.   The call to the public elicited a response from Neal Manske that a community member had suggested to him that in addition to the Emergency Phone Tree, there might be some other mechanisms such as broadcast text messages for community alerts.  A sufficient number of ideas were surfaced to warrant a conclusion that more homework was needed.

10.     The meeting was adjourned at 5:52 P.M.
