BISBEE - The Cochise County Board of Supervisors will hold a work session at 3:30 p.m. today to discuss recent board-of-equalization hearings and the appeals process, as well as the county's policy on taxation of conservation easements.


During the 9 a.m. regular meeting Tuesday, the board will hold a public hearing prior to making a decision on the type of fee that will be required for inspection of manufactured homes.

The supervisors plan to enter into intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona Office of Manufactured Housing and adopt the office's fee schedule for the enforcement of installation standards for manufactured homes and factory-built buildings.

They will also discuss a resolution to hire a district engineer for the Babocamari Road and Traffic Signal Improvement District with the use of county funds.

Developers of a 36-lot subdivision in the Three Canyons area of Hereford will look to the supervisors for approval on the final plat.

Two work sessions will also be discussed and possibly approved. One is on direction for the highway and flood plain department. The other is the 2006 election.

Under the consent agenda the following will be considered for approval:

- Authorize distribution of the Local Transportation Assistance Funding. Ten different organizations that provide transportation assistance for the elderly, disabled and poor are vying for the county's $154,310 share of state funding.

- A new contract between Sierra Vista Regional Health Center and Cochise County Health Department's STEPS program in the amount of $25,000, which will allow the hospital to implement a diabetes outreach program.

- A contract with Douglas-area food bank and Cochise County Health Department in the amount of $20,000 to implement a diabetes outreach program.

- Spending $436,941 for the Steps Along the Border initiative between the Arizona Department of Health and Cochise County Health Department.

- Reappoint Jack Chapman to District 1 board of adjustment for a four-year term ending Dec. 31, 2010.

- A $29,982 grant for the oversight council of DUI abatement to fund overtime for officers and deputies within the Southeast Arizona DUI Task Force.
