Hearing on Hartman Hills Specific Plan. Doug Mostyn seconded the
motion and it carried.
Charles Hulsey, Cella Barr Associates, presented the map and gave
information on the plan. chuck Dinauer explained the areas marked
"excluded".
Melvin Dahler, 4711 W. Flying Diamond, spoke saying that he owns
ten acres on which consent was not given. Mr. Hulsey said they
assumed they had a correct ownership list.
Lyall Pacheco, 11000 N. Gila Rd. at the corner of Turkey Lane,
said they bought in that area because of the beautiful desert
location. They are against the plan as they do not want to have
high density areas close to them.
Daniel P. Dolata, 10500 N. Oldfather, said he was present as a
private individual and as President of a Homeowners
Association. The residents are not anti-growth, but are for
careful development and want country living. They would like to
work with Cella Barr to establish a buffer zone. A few owners want
to go to litigation to stop the plan. Mr. Dolata represents
about 100 homeowners on about 900 acres, and they are asking for
a postponement to allow the homeowners to work with Cella Barr.
Lawrence o. Martin, 5700 w. Potvin Rd., spoke for the Ironwood
Forest Association. They would like the density to go down to
one per acre or one per four acres, and to see a detail plan.
They are interested in preserving the rural living they now
enjoy.
James E. Redmond, 10981 N. Camino de Oeste, has five acres and
they do not want to be looking at the back end of a shopping
center. He hoped the developers would work with the residents.
Mr. Hulsey said the excluded area is about 200 acres.
Paula Lipsitz, 5151 W. Lambert, had nothing new to add.
Michael Marino, 4030 W. Flying Diamond, would like to wait to
speak.
Duane Funk, 4205 W. Turkey Lane, objected to the high density and
commercial areas. He felt no need for commercial areas.
John Welty, 11020 N. Camino de Oeste, distributed a copy of his
statement to all council members and read parts of it detailing
his objections to the Hartman Hills plan and asked that the
ordinance not be passed at this meeting. (Statement attached)

Bruce Lynn, 4901 W. Lambert Lane, read his written objections
(copy attached).
Ann Durnal, 4015 W. Oasis, Secretary of Orange Ranch Estates
Homeowners Association, said the group is composed of 71 owners
of four-acre parcels. This group does not want commercial areas
in their back yards and want it maintained to preserve the wild
life that is present.
Roger Bishop, 5797 W. Potvin Lane, had concern for preserving the
quality of the water in a well that serves 12 properties.
Commercial development could threaten the environment, and he
also had concern that the hopes of a lot of people would not be
destroyed.
Jed Paradies, 4725 N. Camino Escuela, stated he was one of the
owners and general partners in a couple of the properties in
Hartman Hills. They have been working on this plan for over a
year, have had four or five public hearings and have received no
criticism until last week. The plan is in compliance with the
Marana General plan. He read a letter from Bob Sharpe, who could
not be present because of a medical emergency. The letter
stated: "We acknowledge that this plan will have an impact on
the adjoining property owners, but it will be in a positive way.
By providing planned access, shopping, schools, and restricted
areas of development, this specific plan assures a quality
neighborhood in the future. This plan is not only in compliance
with the General Plan, but has been extensively reviewed by Ray
Teran, Ray Coleman, Morgan Johnson, Charles Dinauer, and the
Marana Planning and Zoning Commission. Over the last year,
numerous changes to our plan have been implemented including the
density reduction suggested by Planning and Zoning. For these
reasons, we request that the plan be adopted as proposed."
Mr. Hulsey apologized for the ten-acre site that is included in
the plan. He would urge Council to postpone action until this
can be resolved.
Mayor Harn assured the audience that their rights would be
considered by the Council as well as the rights of the owners
the property.

request. There was discussion and input from Mr. Wehunt and Mr.
Stoner from McDonald's. A crane was used to Judge the visibility
by westbound traffic, and resulted in the request for the sign to

seen. Eastbound traffic has much greater visibility.

feet high, 100 square feet in area with only McDonald's name (not
the tenant sign) and the five feet setback for the monument sign.

Harn said that she, the Vice Mayor, and the Town Manager will
meet with the farmers.
Tom Hum asked who authorized the letter from the attorney to the
clerk regarding recall. Evelyn Casuga said the attorney advises
the clerk in matters of recall, referendum, etc. and we had an
application for a recall.
2. Review of proposed Voter Information Fact Sheet
Evelyn Casuga distributed some preliminary facts and has asked
staff for input on the questions the public might ask. We can
distribute the information through flyers and the Marana
Bulletin. She needs input from Council as to what their
constituency wants to know. Mayor Harn urged Council to give the
Town Manager their input.

Xo J. Status Reports
1. Marana Park
The acquisition of the government buildings has been delaying
the final agreement. The park itself has been agreed upon but we
have no answer from the County on the government buildings.
Mayor Harn feels if we take the park, we take all the buildings
or we do not take the park. Council agreed with this. The
County will keep the well but we can use the water until we have
another source for water.
2. Avra Valley Airport Annexation
Evelyn Casuga said a letter of inguiry has been sent to Jesse
Craft, Manager of Avra Valley Airport, regarding annexation by
Marana. Doug Mostyn said he would see Supervisor Ed Moore next
week and report to Council. Mayor Harn said we will request
annexation of the park and the Avra Valley Airport as a package.
3, W~ter Company Acauisitions and Operations
Evelyn Casuga said the Honea Water Company is scheduled for final
approval by the Arizona Corporation Commission on April 25. As
far as operations are concerned, we are negotiating with Mr.
Groseclose for billing services. Water certified operators from
the Avra Water Co-Op are reviewing the Honea Water documents and
considering assisting us on a short-term basis. We hope to
finalize all agreements at the end of this month. Tom Hum
recommended that we also ask Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District
if they would consider operating the system for us if it could be
done cheaper.
We have been conducting meetings regarding the Cortaro
acquisition and this is progressing.
K. Mayor's RePort
Mayor Harn said she had been busy working on the property tax
issue. Work is being done on the Town Hall site. Bruce Grier
will donate dirt that is needed. Council decided not to have a
ground-breaking, but a ribbon-cutting for opening Town Hall. Bob
McCrea reported that Linda Vista Rent-All has free dirt.
Mayor Harn said we will be requesting donations from businesses,
money as well as goods. She will approach Excel Kitchens to see
if they can help with the millwork. Donors will probably be
recognized by plagues in Town Hall.
Mayor Harn wants people in the community to feel part of Town
Hall and we are thinking of flagstones that can be donated to be
part of our landscaping. Susan Hebel, Sharon Nichols, and Irene
Ogata are working on landscaping. Ted Widger, who has a plant
salvage company, will supply some plants.

Council is holding "Music in the Park" on Saturday, April 21,

no cost.
VII. A. Marana Arts Council: Reauest to Cosponsor "Music in the
Park". April 21~ 1990
The Marana Arts Council found that they could not afford the
insurance on the planned event on April 21, 1990. They requested
the Town be a cosponsor. Mayor Ham said our insurance would
cover this event at no extra cost to the Town.
Bill schisler moved that the Town cosponsor "Music in the Park"
on April 21, 1990 with Marana Regional Arts Council. The motion
was seconded by David Morales. After discussion, Mr. Schisler
amended the motion to include "at no cost to the Town". Mr.
Morales seconded the amendment. Amended motion carried.

proposed agenda items. Since there were only two requests
speak and one letter to read, no time limits were set.

to
Ray Honea, 12540 N. white Ave., said he stated his views
previously that he favors the property tax. One of the problems
that people question is Just what does the Town plan to do with
the money if we get it. The public should be informed what the
tax will be used for. Mr. Honea was on the first council along
with Pat Garrett, manager of Cortaro Water Company, and Mr.
Garrett had stated that the town was formed to protect our water
rights from the City of Tucson, which we did. Maybe the big
property owners don't favor the tax as they would pay more
because they own more. The town was formed to protect the
farmers, but the town is for everybody, not Just the farmers.
MINUTES OF SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN COUNCIL
APRIL 12, 1990
PAGE 3 OF 5
Mr. Honea said he has paid plenty of taxes. He does not think
the town has enough money. It can't run on $80,000 as in the
beginning. If the town is to progress, the property tax is
needed. He does not think it would be a hardship on anybody.
Mayor Harn said that the Council did not decide tonight if there
will be a property tax. The vote tonight was whether to call for
an election for property tax. If this is decided, information
will be sent to the public as to what the needs are and how the
money will be spent. The Town Attorney has advised that if the
people do not approve the property tax, Council can impose a
property tax of 95% of the requested amount. It was stressed
that although this is possible, it does not mean that Council
would do this.
Evelyn Casuga said there is a budget process, and all those
meetings are open meetings. Records at Town Hall are available
to the public also. There is a budget committee meeting on
Thursday, April 19, 1990 at 7:00 p.m.
If the proposed property tax is approved,

Tom Clark, representing local farmers and the Cortaro Water
Association, said that of $15.9 million assessed valuation, $1.9
million comes from utilities, $2.5 million from commercial
residential, $9.1 million from vacant agriculture, $1.5 million
from owner residential, $381,000 from owner rental, and $451,000
from railroad. This means that 57% of the burden is on the
farmers, who require no services. There is no place for the
farmer to pass on the cost. Land should be farmed until there is
actual development.
Tom Hum said he is in favor of annexation. He would like staff
to check to see if farm land could be taxed at a lower rate.
Mayor Harn read a letter from Kal Farms, copy attached.
VII. B. 1. Determination of Total Amount of Money to be Raised
Evelyn Casuga said that 70-80% of sales tax revenue is from
utilities and construction. Retail sales tax in Marana is less
that 15% She gave the projected revenue amounts without property
tax and with the $350,000 proposed property tax.
David Morales gave some comments about an article quoting Scott
Eubanks, Arizona Economic Development Council, and he gave his
reasons for not supporting the property tax at this time.
Bill Schisler said that the developers have no objection to the

Bill Schisler said if we will look for a more favorable rate for
the farmers, we should consider helping the businesses also.
Bill Schisler moved to set the property tax amount to be raised
at $350,000. The motion was seconded by Bob McCrea and carried.

Petitions and Comments
Bill Gaudette, 12571 W. Swanson, read the following petition: The
voters are taxed by the county through property assessment,
There is already a sales tax in Marana. Now Marana Town Council
wants to add its own property tax. The tax may be too much for
the over taxed homes and properties owned in Marana. The
taxpayers will not stand for yet another tax. In the past 11
years, services for the residents have increased very little.
Town Council has failed to listen to the residents who duly elect
them to the Town Council. The Council has continued to spend and
spend money with little or effective programs in progress within the
town limits. There has been an increase in police service to the
area of little development or population. The city officials must

be accountable to their expenditures to the residents of Marana.
We, the undersigned, request the Town of Marana unincorporate and
be returned to be governed by the Pima County Board of
Supervisors. The Marana Town Council currently is proposing a
property tax. There is already a sales tax along with the county
tax. Therefore we, the undersigned voters, recall by election
the Town of Marana back to Pima County Board of Supervisors for
services to the Town of Marana has failed to provide to the
citizens of Marana.
Mr. Gaudette said there is a petition going around right now.
This has been started because the people have been told there
will be a property tax whether the voters approve it or not.
People are very upset about this.
Mayor Harn said the Veterans of Foreign Wars requested her to
issue a proclamation that it is time for buddy poppies. The
Town Clerk read the proclamation.
Elwin Clifton, Jr., 10720 Lettuce Lane, asked if there are
particular forms or petitions to circulate for the Adonis sewer
project. Bob McCrea said there is nothing specific set up. We
can have some forms ready later in the week. Bob McCrea will
speak to staff about this.
VIII. Marana Volunteer Fire Department~ Inc.
Chief Bill Worthey did not have a written report, but reported 41
calls: 6 fire calls: 12 MVA's on the interstate; 18 medicals;
one hazardous materials call; a mutual aid call with Avra Valley;
one good intent call; one public assist; one railroad. Ninety-
one hours and 37 minutes of man hours were expended on these
calls.
There were two calls where they worked closely with Avra Valley.
Mr. Worthey said the debt has been reduced from $7700 to $3900,
but the department still needs Council's help.
Mayor Harn announced a meeting of Council and the Fire Department
at 6 p.m. on April 12, 1990, prior to the meeting on the tax
issue, so a larger facility may be used.

Don Laidlaw outlined the changes from the September 1989 copy,
which Council had previously received.
Edward Luce, 5051 Blackbird, said he was affected by the plan and
would like to have more information and have the issue postponed.
He did not know about the proposed road through his property.
Mr. Laidlaw said there should be a market for a resort within 10
to 15 years. If not, it would remain as a park.
Bill Worthey, Fire Department Chief, asked if there were adequate
hydrants. Mr. Laidlaw said public safety standards would be met
when development actually takes place. It may be as much as two
years before development starts.
Mr. Hum would like Mayor Harn to look into where the copies of
the Specific Plan are.
Bob Sharpe, 6675 Ventana Canyon Dr., said the area is a unique
site for a resort. Being in close proximity to another resort
means they can feed off each other for convention business. He
said they currently have a 60 foot right-of-way for access to the
property.
Tom Levitt, 5640 E. Circulo Terra, is a limited partner in Mr.
sharpe's property. He feels this beautiful dramatic site is well
suited for a resort. The sales tax generated would be a boost to
the economy for the Town of Marana.

Foothills Specific Plan. The motion was seconded by Bill

Invocation
The invocation was given by the Reverend Elwin A. Clifton, Jr.
Mayor Ham stated the rules for the hearing, that cards should be
filled out if a person wished to speak, and that each speaker
would have three minutes.
Town Manager Casuga gave a presentation showing projected revenue
sources, expenditures, areas of concern, and principles and
objectives. The proposed property tax levy would be $350,000
with an estimated tax rate of 2.19 per $100 of assessed
valuation.

spoke on behalf of
Members of the public who spoke were Ray Honea, 12540 N. White,
who did not see any way to advance the good of the town without the
property tax. Some people think it was promised at the time of
incorporation that there would not be a property tax, but Mr.
Honea said that was not true.
Helen Doty, 12832 N. Sanders, felt that with all the services
provided, she does not see how property owners think we cannot
have a property tax.
Phyllis Farenga, 11470 W. Tortolita, read a prepared statement,
and a copy is attached to the minutes.
Dorothy Sharnetsky, 5151 W. Tangerine Rd., does not as yet live
in the Town of Marana, but is in the process of being annexed.
She was not for or against the taxes as far as Marana is
concerned. Her main concern is that the state legislature is
considering giving the Supervisors of Pima County home rule and
the people of Pima County will be voting on that in November.
That would mean taxes would go up. Mrs. Sharnetsky realizes
improvements mean taxes go up to pay for them. If Marana also
has a tax, that could be a burden on retired people on a fixed
income.

Town Clerk Eileen Dllts reported that two corrections had been
made since Council received the packet. On page 4, a
typographical error was corrected in the title FloodPlain
Ordinance Review and also on page 4, it reads "Mayor Ham asked
the Town Attorney if she would be in conflict chairing the
meeting at this point since Marana Health Center is requesting
funds".
Bill Schisler moved to approve the minutes of the March 6, 1990
regular meeting as they have been corrected. The motion was
seconded by Jo Rex and carried.
B. Special Meetina. March 13. 1990
Bill Schisler moved to approve the minutes of the March 13, 1990
special meeting. The motion was seconded by Jo Rex and carried.
VII. Petitions and Comments
Leilani Schisler, Marana Arts Council, reported she visited the
Art Show in Phoenix and talked with the artist who is going to do
the Art in Public Places. She had come here last week and was
talking about getting the children in the schools involved by
putting tiles on some of the art work. This would cost $2,000 -
$2500 to do this, but the schools would try to get a grant to pay
for it. Mrs. Schisler displayed a sample tile, in a puzzle type
form. The artist is trying to see if the school could open
evenings to let the public come in and make some of the tiles to
be a part of the project. Placement of the tiles did not have to
be done right away, but could be done at a later time. If the
children could participate, perhaps this would prevent vandalism.
Mayor Harn commended Mrs. Schisler and said one of her goals is
that people will have a feeling of ownership in Town Hall.
Mrs. Schisler said they also are working on a guilt, and it is 3
x 3 and will be framed. They hope to have it ready for the
Town Hall opening.
David Morales said he was chairman of the Fire Department fund
raiser on St. Patrick's day, and was happy to report they netted
over $1,000.
David Morales said he had met with Jimmy Curry, general manager
of Coca-Cola, who wants to hold an open house for Council and
Planning and Zoning and wants to know what would be a good date,
perhaps 6 - 7 p.m. Mayor Harn will select a date.
Mayor Ham commended Mr. Morales on his part in making the Fire
Department fund raiser such a success. The fellowship enjoyed
was most rewarding.

Approval of Minutes
Bill Schisler moved to approve the minutes of the July 3, 1990
meeting, seconded by Jo Rex. Doug Mostyn said on Page 4, after
Mr. Morales' comments on gambling, it should state that " Mr.
Mostyn made a motion to table this item until Mr. Morales and his
associates could come back with a properly structured presenta-
tion." At the meeting Mayor Ham ruled that a motion was not in
order, but Mr. Mostyn's motion as quoted above will be made part
of the official minutes.
Motion to approve the minutes of July 3, 1990 was approved with
the above correction.
On the June 19, 1990 minutes, Mr. Schisler said in the third
paragraph from the bottom, it said the motion to hold a special
meeting on June 26 failed, but the vote was 2 nays and 4 ayes.
This will be researched.
On page 10, at the top of the page, it should be "Ordinance 90-
22" not "Resolution". Due to the corrections discussed, Mr.
Schisler moved to delay approval of the June 19, 1990 minutes
until the corrections can be made. The motion was seconded by
David Morales and carried.

gambling in Marana, as he was on vacation at the time of the last
meeting. He was never in favor of it, is not now in favor of it,
and never will be in favor of it.
David Morales said it is amazing that the people of this town
elected him to come up with ideas to help the town. When he came
up with an idea that he thought would help the town, he found he
is being recalled. If anyone comes to town hall asking for a
petition to recall Mr. Morales, he instructed the Town Clerk to
be sure to tell them he said "thank you".

discussion, at
Evelyn Casuga said that some legislative action discussed this
past year led us to put this item on the agenda for discussion.
The legislature may put stringent restrictions on this type of
tax or not allow it at all. It was agreed to pursue inquiry into
this type of tax, which would be 1 1/2% to 2%, and make the
public aware of this. Mayor Harn said we should continue the
policy of open communication.
X. H. Tanqerine Landfill
Mayor Ham said the County seems to want to connect extending the
landfill in with bank protection. If we do make some conces-
sions, we need some guidelines from the County as to what can go
into the landfill. She has had calls that the landfill is messy.
The trucks should be covered, but there is no signage to that
effect.
The Town Manager recently received a letter regarding "tipping
fees", This would be $250 - $300 per year. We supply police and

Mr. Morales said that the pesticide at the airport that was
publicized some time ago was put in Tangerine landfill.
Bill Schisler does not think the County would turn down flood
protection if we don't expand Tangerine. We must keep in mind
that an owner is the one responsible for contamination.
Ron Wong asked exactly what the County is asking for. Mayor Ham
said they want ten more years with the landfill. If the County
would dig out the old landfill and reline it, ten more years
would not be so bad. The County would like to buy new land for
another cell and use the dirt for the banks.
Police Officer Babcock arrived and was introduced to the Council.
X. I. Pima County Transportation Excise Tax
Mayor Harn said it is not known yet whether this tax will be
before the voters in November. This will support the BAJA
Project. Marana would receive $300,000 or 1%, whichever is
greater, per year from this plan for transportation issues. The
corm~unity needs to be made aware of the enormous benefit to the
town from this plan. The tax would be for ten years.
Marana would have one full vote on the Regional Transportation
Authority, the same as Tucson and Pima County.
David Morales said he could not support this plan until Pima
County comes up with a comprehensive plan.
The legislature has said the County could have a 1/2% excise tax,
but they are holding back on theirs so that the transportation
tax will have a chance.
It was suggested that Council and Planning and Zoning Commission
might have a joint study session on transportation.
X.J. League of Arizona Cities and Towns Conference
Mayor Ham hoped that the Council could attend the conference
being held September 18-21 in Oro Valley. A booth for the festi-
val was discussed. David Morales suggested moving the September
18 Council Meeting to September 17. Evelyn Casuga said the Thurs-
day evening barbecue is the main event. Conference information
should have been sent to council members' homes.

X, K. Mayor's Report
David Morales asked why people are asked to sign in at Petitions
and Comments. Mayor Harn said especially when there are larger
crowds, this facilitates managing the meeting and provides more
complete information for the Town Clerk. Mr. Morales said some
people told him they wanted to speak, but did not want to sign a
card and feel offended that it is so regulated.
Bill Schisler felt signing in is the best way to go for better
organization.
Tom Hum asked when Barnett road will be paved. Mayor Narn said
we are waiting for a quit claim deed from one last owner, Ms.
Ong. There has been no success in getting this signature. Mayor
Ham urged Mr. Hum to help obtain Ms. Ong's signature, if he can.
Mayor Ham said we were visited this week by Andy Flores and
Dorothy Findley, Tucson Economic Development Council. In the
past, Westinghouse has made donations to the Council in our name.
Mike williams from Senator McCain's office visited us and we
discussed our concerns about the census; our concerns about
getting Tangerine Road being on the regional plan; how the feder-
al flood monies would come down and when they would come down.
He will work to make this as soon as possible.
Mayor Ham attended an event at The Breakers recently where a
Guinness record was set for the most people in a swimming pool.
Mayor Harn attended the 90th birthday party for Mr. McDuff.
Mayor Harn attended the 4th of July celebration at Avra Valley
Airport. Mr. Morales said they felt the Fire Department would
make over $3,000 profit.
Mayor Harn and Councilman Schisler attended the County Board of
Supervisors meeting today, and she reported on the buying of the
Empirita Ranch. There will be a special meeting in August on the
floodplain protection.
Mayor Ham will be leaving on vacation the evening of July 20 and
returning August 6. Vice Mayor McCrea will fill in and attend the
PAG meeting.
Mayor Ham apologized to Mr. Mostyn for the bad call of Judgment
on tabling the gambling issue in the July 3 meeting.

MEETING
XI. Future Aqenda Items
Bob McCrea was concerned that the July 3 item of gambling was not
discussed at the previous meeting, but it appeared on the agenda.
We should stick to the agenda items suggested at the meeting.
Mr. Morales said there were three council members in favor of it,
and that is how it got on the agenda. Mayor Ham said she under-
stood an item could go on the agenda if three council members
agreed to it, and Mr. Morales told her that was the case.
Bill Schisler said he thought council guidelines should be on a
future agenda. Mayor Harn said she thought another workshop
should be held.
Tom Hum said any council member can speak as a private citizen,
but if they speak for council, they need to have approval of
council.

MAR~N~ MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MAY BE REACHED AT 682-3467--REV. ELWIN A. CLIFTON
TO: Madam Mayor Ora Harn and Council Persons.
FROM: The Marana Ministerial Association.
SUBJECT: Legalized gambling in Marana, Arizona.
BE IT KNOWN: On Thursday, July 12, 1990, a meeting of Marana
Ministers did convene at 11:00 A.M. at the Sky Rider Coffee
Shop, at the Avra Valley Airport. The purpose of the meeting
was to organize the church community of Marana, and the sur-
rounding communities~ and communicate our convictions to the
Marana City Governing Body, as is provided for in the Marana
General Plan.
WiIEREAS: The main topic before the Ministerial Association
was LEGALIZED GAMBLING for the city of Marana. It was the
consensus of the ministers present that legalized gambling in
Marana would create a monster that this community is not now,
nor in the foreseeable future, facilitated to deal with.
WHEREAS: We could not conceive how Council-person David Morales,
could in all honesty, suggest that legalized gambling was the
answer to all of the economic woes of Marana. We have also
been advised that possibly a petition would be circulated in
our community. We have taken steps to gain more information
on this action, so that the church community will be educated
to deal with this action when it does make itself known!
THEREFORE: The Marana Ministerial Association strongly petit-
ions that the Town Council of Marana, the citizens of Marana,
and the citizens of the surrounding communities, work against
ANY and ALL perverted efforts to bring legalized gambling
into Marana and the surrounding communities.

It has come to my attention that some members of the Marana
Town Council are in favor of developing legalized, casino

opposed to the suggestion. I do not think that everyone ~

However I have treated hundreds of children, and adults from

and addicts. The pain associated with various dysfunctions
and subsequent emotional,
have been significant.

was told the problem was acted upon and it would drain into the

talked to County personnel and is to keep them posted.
Elwin Clifton, 10720 Lettuce Lane, said he hoped a meeting on the
topic of gambling could be an open forum at a later date and at a
place with larger capacity.
Bill Worthey, 14999 N Sandario Rd., said as a farmer he felt a
conflict with the issues of mosquitoes and pesticides, and effec-
tive at midnight on July 4, 1990, he would retire as fire chief.
Dick Powell will move up to chief, and Rick Insalaco will move up
to assistant chief.
Mayor Harn commended Mr. Worthey on his past service to the
community.
Bob Kern, 12775 N. Sanders, regarding the mosquito problem said

David Morales reminded everyone of the Fire Department's fund
raiser at Avra Valley Airport tomorrow, July 4th. There will be
an air show, food booths, activity booths, entertainment, and
fireworks at 8:30 p.m. Events start at 2:00 p.m.
VIII. I. Discussion of General Election Advisory Question -
Gambling Zone
Mayor Harn asked Mr. Morales to speak first on this topic.
Mr. Morales said he wants to be up front with the people. His
statement was to establish a gambling zone. He was against the
property tax and the audit of city sales tax, so he came up with
another plan, establishing a gambling zone. This is a dream, an
idea. He would propose 500-1,000 acres as a resort zone with a
full legal casino. He felt things will not get better economi-
cally in Marana for 5-10 years. Last fall, he formed the Marana
Economic Development Corporation. He held a dozen or more meet-
ings with no results. Mr. Morales wanted to read a letter he
wrote to the Marana Bulletin, but the Mayor overruled this re-
quest.
Mr. Morales said there could be up to 20,000 jobs available for a
large casino, as the rule is 2.2 employees per room. He cannot
understand the hysteria at his proposal as we already have the
lottery, and wagering on dog and horse races. Environmentally,
this is a clean industry.
Mr. Morales said his goal was to bring jobs to Marana. If Coun-
cil cannot support him, he challenges them to come up with a
better plan and he will back them 100%.
Jo Rex asked Mr. Morales how he would accomplish his plan. Mr.
Morales said it would cost $500 to hold an election, and he has
someone who would pay this cost.
Bill Schisler was disturbed that this was discussed with the
media before the subject was before the Council. He does not
support gambling and has received several calls that do not favor
gambling. Be recently saw a TV program about Atlantic City, and
gambling has not been all they believed it would be.
Jo Rex said she read the article
paper and it seemed Town Council
support this. She does not see

Mr. Morales said he is not running for any office, but he i_~s a
Town Council member and is trying to do something. He would
rather go down in flames in trying to do something for the town
than be a "do-nothing" councilman.
Members of the audience speaking against gambling were:

Arlene Baker, 12405 N. Insun Dr.

and a freeze on merit increases. There is an increase of avail-
ability of the magistrate and an elimination of the full-time
attorney and secretary position. There is a contingency fund in
case revenues increase during the year. This budget includes
acquisition of the park. If this does not come to be, pay cuts
to 20% may be necessary. Staff is looking for alternate sources
of revenue, and if revenues do increase during the year, pay
could be restored and cost of living and merit increases could be
considered.
Questions were answered by Evelyn Casuga, Lynn Radcliffe, and Bob
Kern. David Morales was disturbed that there is no money for the

fire department, and he felt there should be at least $18,000 to
pay the liability insurance. Bill Schisler said we can squeeze
the turnip only so much, and we should look at getting our people
back to full pay before spending money elsewhere. Doug Mostyn
said we should seek more revenue to be able to fund the fire
department. Maybe we should consider not going through with the
new town hall, as having a fire department is more important in
his opinion. Maybe we should not take over the park.
Mayor Harn would like to support the fire department but not at
the expense of laying off an employee.
Dan Groseclose, 14200 W. Imogene Pl., questioned whether the fire
department ever submitted a budget, and they did just recently.
The tentative budget must be published, and the final budget
adopted in August.
Bill Schisler moved to adopt the tentative budget, seconded by Jo
Rex. Motion carried with David Morales voting "no".
VIII. D. Discussion of Sales Tax Canvassing Alternatives
Bill schisler moved to table this item. The motion was seconded
by Jo Rex and carried.
VIII. E. Appointment of Planning and Zoning Commissioner
David Morales moved to appoint Lee Graff as Planning and Zoning
Commissioner with her term expiring in 1996. The motion was
seconded by Doug Mostyn and carried.
David Morales was excused from the meeting at 8:50 p.m.
VIII. F. Amendment to Personnel Policies - Full-time Hours
Evelyn Casuga said that due to budget restraints, we need to
change our personnel policies on the definition of "full-time"
Mr. Moffitt said this is first reading, and if it is passed, it
will be retroactive to July 1, 1990. As it reads tonight, there
would be a reduction in work hours when there is a pay reduction.
If it is reworded, the reduction of hours would not be mandatory.
Jo Rex wants to be sure the medical coverage is not affected by
reduction of hours.
VIII. G. Government Buildings at Marana Park
Mayor Harn said we have been negotiating that if we allow the
Sheriff's Department to stay in the building, they would allow us
jail costs. Mr. Moffitt said we should not have to pay the
utilities. The DES and the library pay rent to stay in the
building. It was agreed to keep the request for the government
buildings in the negotiations.

VIII. H. Sister Cities Program
Mayor Harn said the Sister Cities Program would be a good thing
to get citizens involved in. This program is nation-wide promot-
ed to establish good will between our cities and cities in other
countries. There could also be cultural exchanges. Bill Schisl-
er suggested that the Chamber of Commerce could look into this,
and it was agreed it is a worthwhile idea.
VIII. J. Mayor's Report
Mayor Harn reported on the meeting on flood control with County
officials held here at Town Hall on June 28, 1990. Bank protec-
tion for Marana is on the agenda of the July 17 meeting of the
Board of Supervisors. They have asked Mayor Ham to speak, and
it is most encouraging to have this item on the agenda.
Mayor Harn and Town Manager Casuga visited the Tucson Water
facilities and were most impressed.
VIII. K. Legal Report
John Moffit's report was in writing.
VIII. L. Manager's Report
Evelyn Casuga reminded the Council that the League Conference
will be held in Oro Valley this year, September 18-21, 1990. She
urged attendance by as many council members as possible. Mayor
Ham asked for any resolutions the members might want to suggest
for the conference. They are needed for a meeting on August 25.

Morales requested the minutes of June 5, 1990, page 2, line 2 be

paid by the Town." The motion carried with this correction.
VII. Petitions and Comments
Bob Honea, 12655 No. Sanders Rd., protested a letter he had
received regarding his participation in breeding mosquitoes in
Berry Acres. He stated he had never lived nor farmed in that
area, does not have a pond nor tail water on his property and
objected to being singled out while residents on both sides of
him who have ponds never received such a letter.
Tom Hum excused himself from Council deliberations to speak as a
private citizen regarding a certified letter the farmers received
from the Pima County Health Department, which was sent upon the
request of the Town Council, relating to a mosquito problem
caused by ponds and tail waters. He asked that a letter be read
into the record, which was signed by 15 farmers in the area. He
expressed the opinion that the farmers are being harassed over
what, in his opinion, is an unavoidable situation and demanded it
be stopped. He said that the people next to these ponds are not
opposed to them. He requested this matter be placed on the agenda
for further discussion because it is a threat to the living and
survival of the farmers in the area.
Tom Hum resumed his seat on the Council at this time.
Reverend Elwin Clifton read his comments into the record relating
to what he believed to be an adverse community spirit at this
time. He commended the Mayor, Town Manager and departments for
their efforts to keep things going during the current difficult
financial situation of the town. He urged the community to band
together to "mend fences" and return the community to a friendly
atmosphere.
Dan Groseclose, 14200 W. Imogene Pl., stated there is a mosquito
problem in Berry Acres, and added that he resented the farmers
saying it is not their responsibility. He said that in Maricopa
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN COUNCIL
JUNE 19, 1990
PAGE 3 OF 11
County the farmers do control the mosquitoes because they are
cited if there is water left standing the day after they
irrigate. He stated they had to either drain the water or put
oil on it.
Cary Honea, 14600 W. Grief Rd., stated some of the people Mr. Hum
had spoken to said the opposite of what Mr. Hum reported. He
stated the residents had been trying to get government officials
to solve this problem for seven years. He added that the County
had many years ago secured a 60-foot wide easement from Mr. Berry
to provide a runoff of this water into the river. He stated the
pond in question belongs to his Dad and that he does not want the
water to run into the pond and will drain the pond one time only
if no more water is allowed to run into the pond.
John Welty, 11020 N. Camino de Oeste, suggested a way to avoid
communication problems regarding zonings within the Town of
Marana would be to send out a planning & zoning agenda as the
County does. He was informed by the Manager that the town does
send out an agenda and if he wished to be placed on the mailing
list, the cost is $20 a year.
Bill Worthey, 11731 W. Moore Rd., addressed the issue of the
farmers controlling their water. He stated the farmers are aware
there is a problem and are working to correct the situation. He
stated at this time the only way they know of to control the
water would cost four to five hundred dollars an acre, and that
the appropriate governmental agencies are working with them to
find a solution to the problem. He requested the Council not to
be hasty in finding the farmers in violation until they can
correct the problem without going broke in the process. Mayor
Harn informed him that the council had not taken any action
whatsoever on this matter.
David Morales stated the Marana Volunteer Fire Department will
put on fireworks again this year at Avra Valley Airport. This
will be a fund raiser for the fire department and the activities
will be from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and will include sky divers
and an air show; the fireworks will begin at 8:30 p.m.
VIII Public Hearing - Master Transportation
A motion was made by David Morales, seconded by Bob McCrea,
carried to go into public hearing.
and
Chuck Dinauer stated the public hearing is on a Transportation
Plan as recommended by the Planning Commission. He stated the
Planning Commission had added to the plan one segment of roadway
which extends from the corner of Moore and Sanders up to Avra
Valley and Trico Roads. He explained the differences between this
plan and the one prepared in 1987. In reply to Mayor Harn Mr.

Dinauer stated that the plan does show an interchange at Moore
Road. In reply to John Welty, Mr. Dinauer stated the plan does
not show Naranja Road as a major arterial. There being no further
comments from the public, David Morales moved to close the hear-
ing. The motion was seconded by Bob McCrea and carried.
IX. Marana Volunteer Fire Department~ Inc.
A monthly departmental operations report was filed by Fire
Billy Worthey (copy in file).
Chief
Fire Chief Billy Worthey expressed condolences to the family of
Bill Gaudette. Mr. Gaudette started the fire department and was
its fire chief for seven years. Mr. Worthey stated that Mr.
Gaudette had laid down a excellent foundation for others to
follow. A plaque will be presented to the family.
Mr. Worthey stated that since the department will not be
receiving revenue from the Town it may be forced to go to a
subscription basis to continue providing protection to the Town,
but they will do everything they can to keep the doors open, and
the fee for services will be a last resort. He stated he is in
the process of getting figures from other departments who sell
this service.
In reply to David Morales, Mr. Worthey stated the liability
insurance premium for the department is approximately $18,000.
Bob McCrea expressed concern that the department is spending
money on fireworks activities when it is experiencing financial
difficulties. Mr. Worthey replied that last year was the first
year the department had lost money on the event, and that it is
hoped it will continue to be the largest fund raising event the
department has. He added that the money for the fireworks had
been donated from Tucson and concerned businesses.
Mr. Worthey stated that since he is having problems with his
business, he is going to have to take a leave of absence and will
be turning over the department to Assistant Chief Dick Powell and
Battalian Chief Rick Insalaco.
Mr. Worthey requested if during the year the Council happens to
come up with excess money, it not forget the department, and they
will do all they can to keep the doors open.
Manager Evelyn Casuga stated she is to attend a meeting with the
Supervisors on June 20 and will be bringing before them a CDGB
Grant request for the fire department. Mr. Worthey stated if the
grant is received, it will be used for protective clothing for
the fire fighters.

the outside. Bob McCrae stated it would be less expensive to
widen to the inside.

XI. A(3) GMSG - Contract to conduct Sales Tax Audit
Mayor Harn stated many people in the community have expressed
concern over this Contract, and added that upon reading the
contract there were many things she did not understand, and she
felt uncomfortable that the Town Attorney had not advised the
Council on this Contract, and that it was not an appropriate
agenda item.
Tom Hum inquired as to why the matter was on the Consent Agenda,
and suggested staff was trying to push it down the Council's
throat. The Manager stated the Contract had been reviewed by
the Manager and the Attorney.
Bill schisler motioned to postpone the matter until the next
regular Council meeting. The motion died for lack of a second.
Bob McCrea moved to call a special meeting for June 26 to discuss
the Contract. Dou9 Mostyn seconded the motion. David Morales
stated the Council has the necessary information, that the Manag-
er and Town Attorney had reviewed the Contract and it is in order
for the Council to act on the contract, and that action should be
taken tonight because this is the third time the item has been
discussed. Tom Hum concurred.
Dan Groseclose stated if the Council is voting to have an
additional meeting to review the contract to audit the sales tax,
there are laws already on the books; the only thing to negotiate
now is if somebody is going to go out and verify that these
businesses are properly collecting the taxes. Mayor Harn
explained the issue is whether to sign the contract as written or
whether there are further questions the Council has on the
contract.
The vote on whether or not to hold a special meeting carried,
with David Morales and Tom Hum voting "Nay", and Bill Schisler,
Doug Mostyn, Vice Mayor Bob McCrae and Mayor Harn voting "Yes."
Mr. Sing Lee requested that Phyllis Farenga read into the record
a letter opposing the Council entering into a contract with a
private firm to audit the books of the business firms of the Town
of Marana. The letter was signed by 30 Marana residents, and
suggested the audit should be made by the State of Arizona.
Bob McCrea stated he could not believe the perception of the
general public about this tax audit. He emphasized this is not a
new tax, but a tax that should have been collected all along as
mandated by law. He added that now that the Town has found
itself in a budget crunch, and this is just one mechanism for
finding revenue to fill the coffers to run the town. The people

who are properly collecting these sales taxes will have nothing
to worry about, only those who are not paying sales tax have
anything to worry about. He expressed the opinion that those
people who are hollering the loudest are those people who have
not paid their sales taxes.
Tom Hum stated he objected to Councilmember McCrea's remarks,
that the people are not objecting to the audit, only the method
of conducting the audit.
Bill Schisler stated there has been a lot of interest in the
business community about privatization, and hiring a private
business to conduct this audit is just one area of privatization.
He expressed the opinion that it could cost as much for the State
to conduct the audit as to contract it out to the private sector,
and the Town would not derive any more revenue from it and might
9et a lot less. He felt the cost would be paid back, and $19,000
for the audit would be a good investment to get monies legally
owed to the town.
Ron Wong went over the figures mentioned in the contract and
remarked that the $19,230 being discussed does not reflect the
total cost of the audit. He said the cost could be as much as
$35,710, and that it could take 7.9 years to recoup this cost.
He asked that the Council be real aware of that.
David Morales stated the reason he is going to vote "no" on this
issue, is that Marana is a farming community, has been since the
turn of the century and will continue to be so from three to ten
years. The inner core of Marana depends on these farmers for
their livelihood; they live and spend their money at the busi-
nesses in this town. We have lost farmers left and right because
of all the issues they are having to deal with. He ask if the
Council wants to lose the only businesses they have here. If we
vote for this we will get the town in the black but kill the
farmers so why vote for it.
Dan Groseclose remarked that the businesses are not fulfilling
their obligation in collecting their sales tax and that they
need to be shown how to collect the taxes in the right way.
Bill Schisler moved to postpone discussion on this contract until
the next regular meeting. The motioned died for lack of a
second.
Bing Wong said he felt the sales tax should be collected at the
point of sale. Mr. Wong owns the cotton gin at 11600 North
Sanders Road and has received notice there is going to a
condemnation of this gin. Mr. Wong stated the gin is a $2,000,000
plant that the Town has potential sales tax on and that he also

Mayor Harn annouced that this item will be on the next regularly
scheduled meeting.
A motion was made by David Morales and seconded by Tom Hum that
the item be tabled indefinitely. A roll call vote was called for
on the motion, and the results were as follows:
Tom Hum, Yes
David Morales, Yes
Doug Mostyn, No
Bill Schisler, No
Vice Mayor Bob McCrea, No
Mayor Ora Ham, No
The motion failed to carry, and Mayor Ham stated the item will
appear on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled meeting.

results were as follows:

XI. B. Hartman Hills Specific Plan
XI B (1) Resolution No. 90-08 - Declaring "Hartman Hills
Specific Plan dated May 30, 1990" a Public Record
Don Laidlaw, representing Cella Barr Associates, stated he had
had three meetings with concerned residents of this area and the
differences had been resolved. John Welty represented the Lam-
bert-Naranja Neighborhood Association, and stated the plan is
still not an ideal one for Bartman Hills because of the lack of
SR 4 zoning, but one both parties could live with. He stated
there is one issue Mr. Laidlaw and Mr. Sharp are aware of and
that is the density of the area immediately adjacent to their
neighborhood Association is still very different from the density
of the current neighborhood, and that was a point they could not
successfully negotiate. He stated the members of the Association
voted on June 9, to accept the compromise as submitted.

XI. C. Ordinance 90-22 - Cortaro Vista Annexation
Carl Winters answered questions regarding the proposed 1,328 acre
annexation. In reply to Bill Schisler, Mr. Dinauer stated the
statement is in the record signed by the developer that they
would handle any litigation by referendum for both the annexation
and specific plan. Mayor Ham instructed the Planning & Zoning
Director to be sure all the hold harmless agreements have been
signed.
In reply to Bob McCrea, Mr. Winters stated there are 58 different
parcels in this annexation and 42 or 43 property owners, some
presently living on site. Bob McCrea stated that because of the
Town's budgetary constraints the Council should wait to annex
this property because of the additional burden of providing
services to the area. Mr. Winters stated this annexation request
has been in the process for two years, and because the Town added
additional people, it slowed down the process. He expressed the
opinion this area is the most logical area the Town has ever
considered because it will soon begin to produce revenue for the
Town.
In reply to Bill Schisler, Police Chief Lynn Radcliffe stated
this area is close to Continental Ranch area and patrolling the
area won't be that much of an additional burden to the police
force.
David Morales expressed frustration at voting on this issue
because of the Town's current financial status on the one hand
and this annexation being a good source of future revenue on the
other hand.
In reply to Dou9 Mostyn, Billy Worthey stated the fire department
could not effectively provide services to this area. Bill
Schisler stated the area is currently being serviced by Northwest

XI. H. 1990-91 Budget
The Manager stated the Budget Committee had spent countless hours
on this budget, and expressed appreciation for the Committee's
work on the budget. She stated the tentative budget will be set
July 3 and published the weeks of July 9 and 16, and the final
hearing will take place on August 6. Terry Bown was present and
answered questions on the proposed budget. She stated the
proposed budget reflects no lay-offs. Alternative sources of
Revenue have been discovered for Streets, the Police Department
and the Magistrate's Office, which the Manager said was a "one-
time shot only". The higher paid administrative personnel have
to take a 12% reduction in wages so that those employees on the
lower pay scales will not be so adversly affected. The Manager
stated they are in a position should the Council not take action
on the park to fall back to the 20% across-the-board cut in
salary, but that the Budget Committee had suggested a tiered
incremental reduction plan so that those in the lower income
bracket would not have to shoulder that heavy burden also. Mayor
Harn thanked the Budget Committee and stated this will be the
first item on the agenda.

VII. Transaction Privilege Tax /Sales Tax) Audit
A. General Presentation
B. Public Comments
Mayor Harn said we would first have a presentation by representa-
tives from Government Management Services Group, then questions
from the public and Council, comments from those who filled out
cards, and comments from members of the Council.
Milt Moss, Ernie Kleinschmidt, and Joe Pizzilo gave the presenta-
tion from the Government Management Services Group. They told of
their background and qualifications. This will be an educational
process resulting in the Town receiving all that is due them in
town sales tax. They can go back four years. A payment schedule
can be set up. Council does have the option of waiving penal-
ties. They expect to find income that construction companies
might owe due to the fact that they did not know they were work-
ing within the Marana town limits. Also, the coding could be
incorrect and the tax went to the wrong town. There may be busi-
nesses unaware of the tax. Only accounts that would be cost
effective would be processed.
There would be three phases, the canvass, the review, and the
audit. Marana's tax code has been in effect since incorporation.
Copies are available in Town Hall for review. Farm land that is
rented is subject to the tax. All information gathered is confi-
dential. Exemptions cannot be made. The cost for the total
process is $19,230. If it should seem that this audit would not
be feasible, GMSG would immediately stop and only the fees
incurred would be due.
Tom Clark, 11599 W. Barnett Rd., said he cannot justify spending
the $19,230. He asked who had been laid off. There have been no
layoffs as yet, and there would be none before the beginning of
the new fiscal year, July 1, 1990.

Bill Gaudett, 12571 W. Swanson St., wants the Town to survive.
He felt it is time to have a Fire Department and we can't afford
these fancy fees. He thought Council is doing a good job.
Nelson Sabbe, 12702 N. Sanders Rd., asked if a laid-off person
was making $8 an hour, which is what the canvassers will be paid.
Some employees make less than $8 an hour. He felt we should be
looking for more development.
John Kai asked if federal projects like the CAP are exempt from
city taxes. Joe Pizzilo said the private contractor doing the
job would be subject to the tax. sub-contractors would not. Mr.
Kal asked if we went to bid for this service. We did not as this
is the only company supplying such a service. The cost would
come out of the monies raised.
Council members commented as follows:
Jo Rex felt Council must look for new revenue sources. We do not
have the staff to do this on our own. We will not continue with
the audit if there are not good prospects.
Tom Hum said he was against the tax audit. We would do better to
look towards more development. We have only a handful of farmers
and businesses. We should do this audit in-house and not spend
$19,230 we don't have. Mr. Hum was disappointed that Council
voted to approve this audit before a public meeting was held. We
should be responsible to the public and do what they want.
Doug Mostyn said he cannot and will not support entering into
this type of agreement when the amount of money asked could be
better spent elsewhere. To hire people and give them the privi-
lege of "legal harassment", Mr. Mostyn felt is an insult to the
people of this town. He did not question the firm or their
motives, but the spending of $19,230. He felt the money should
be spent for more viable things, such as keeping the Fire Depart-
ment operational by paying their insurance, and by keeping the
people we are considering laying off.
Bill Schisler said he felt the Council's job is to do what is
best for the most. We need this money that would be raised to
complete pojects for streets and roads and have an adequate town
hall facility. He is sure the return will be much more than the
cost and it will be a good education opportunity. It is only fair
to those who are paying taxes that those who are not paying their
fair share do so. Mr. Schisler is not anti-farmer, but has a
hard time feeling sorry for those who have received subsidies for
so many years. Farming is a risk, but so is any business. He
cannot see why people are unwilling to do what is fair and equi-
table all around. Mr. Schisler is in favor of the audit, espe-

cially the educational portion. Since we did not get the proper-
ty tax, we have been told to look for other revenues. This is a
revenue due to us and would provide a more stable revenue source.
David Morales said he cannot support this audit.
Ora Ham said the Council is elected to represent the people of
the community. It is our responsibility that this town is run in
a sound fiscal and proper manner. If there were a businessman
who had financial problems and he did not go after money due to
him, she would not have much respect for him. We are going to
look for that money due us. It will cost us, but any business
must spend money to make money.
Mrs. Harn said Council has responsibilities to the employees that
we now have to keep them working, and it is worth the investment
to bring in revenue due us.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:29 p.m.

VII. Petitions and Comments
David Morales reported on the May 28, 1990 Memorial Day activi-
ties. The VFW conducted a ceremony of changing the colors at
11:00 a.m. There was a potluck following. He felt the day was
successful and this should be the first annual Memorial Day
celebration. There were several items suggested to be added a
21-gun salute and a bugle at the placing of the wreath. It was
suggested that at the following potluck, there be a horseshoe
tournament and a chili contest. Mayor Harn thanked Mr. Morales
for his work on the Memorial Day committee. Bob McCrea agreed
that this should be an annual event. Bill Schisler asked where
the left-over hamburger went. Mr. Morales only took part of the
order from the store. The left-over meat went to Casa Maria, who
feed the homeless, and the buns went to the Marana Food Bank.

Chuck Dinauer said this was portion "B" of the Vistoso Verde
Annexation. This is a 28 acre parcel and he recommended its
adoption. David Morales said he has a problem with further
annexations and the accompanying additional services to be pro-
vided. Mr. Dinauer said this is vacant land without even a road.
Tom Hum moved to adopt Ordinance 90.19 - Vistoso Verde Annexa-
tion. The motion was seconded by Bill Schisler and carried 5/2
with Doug Mostyn and David Morales voting "no".

VIII, C. Proposal for sales Tax Canvassing
Milt Moss and Ernie Kleinschnidt of Government Management Serv-
ices Group were present, and they outlined the proposal and an-
swered questions. This would be an audit of the city sales tax
owed to Marana by law, and they can go back four years.
Bill Schisler moved to approve the proposal with Government
Management Services Group as outlined to conduct a sales tax
canvass in the Town of Marana. The motion was seconded by Bob
McCrea. Mr. Hum felt we needed more time and the farmers should
know about this. Mr. McCrea felt it would be foolhardy not to
continue in this method of increasing revenue by collecting what
is due to us by law. Roll call vote was as follows.

Rider, if available.
Phyliss Farenga said she was in favor of the proposal but hoped
it would not mean a business would 9o bankrupt.
VIII. D. Amendment to Personnel Policies/Sexual Harassment
Prohibition
Evelyn Casuga said no action is required, but this was needed to
be included in the Personnel Policy so that we are not open to a
lawsuit. John Moffitt said the wording came from Southwest Risk
with some additions from him.
VIII. E. Annexation Policy Review
Chuck Dinauer said this has been reviewed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and comes to Council with their recommendation.
He pointed out on the map the potential annexation areas.

VIII. I. Mayor's Report
Mayor Harn reported that Sandy Groseclose is working on furnish-
ings for the new Town Hall. Mayor Harn is working with John
Moffitt in preparing a letter to be sent to businesses requesting
donations for Town Hall. There could be a placard in the en-
trance where we would list those donors. We are considering
patio tiles at $45 that the public could donate and the family
name would be on the tile. Mayor Harn asked the Council to be
very careful in their requests to businesses, and they should be
cleared through her. With the special requests for Town Hall, we
must be very careful not to approach the same businesses too many
times.
Regarding the one-half cent sales tax for all of Pima County to
support transportation, the votes will not be weighted, but
equal.
Mayor Ham had a letter from the Avra Valley Fire Department
thanking Marana for their help during the gasoline leak.
Mayor Harn and Manager Casuga have attended functions for

John Moffit submitted his report in writing. The Police Depart-
ment had an inquiry today whether we had a parade or demonstra-
tion fee to offset any cost of police coverage.
VIII. K. Manager's Memo
Bill Schisler said a VFW member asked what happened to their logo
sign that was to go on the monument. They said Mr. Teran had
agreed to this. This will be researched.
Mr. schisler asked if there was a permit required for fireworks.
Mr. Morales said the recent fireworks was a drill for the Fire
Department. They were being trained how to handle this, and the
fireworks were free. Ms. Casuga said the Fire Chief has been
apprised of proper procedure.
Ms. Casuga reported the jail costs so far this fiscal year are
$1183.
Mr. McCrea said he would like a copy of work schedules after July
1 so he could be prepared for questions regarding schedules.
IX. Future Agenda Items
Doug Mostyn said he had four calls regarding

Mayor Harn said she had a real problem considering the committee
mentioned above when she can't find people to serve on Planning
and Zoning and Architectural Committees, which shape the future
of the town. If there were such a committee, it should consist
of qualified professionals. Mr. Moffitt said from a legal pro-
spective, there could not be a committee to investigate the
court.
Bill Schisler requested a future agenda item of looking at alley-
ways and rights-of-way to keep them maintained and free of de-
bris. Supported by Doug Mostyn and Jo Rex.
A list of future agenda items and the dates they were on the
agenda will be distributed.

He attended a meeting where he was terribly disappointed at a
public display when the fire department was asked how much money
they received from the Town. This question was met with sneers
and laughter. Mr. Honea did not like that, and a close look
should be taken of the volunteer fire department.

and other considerations include:
1. Personnel Reductions
Police Dept. - 3 positions
Street Dept. - 2 positions
2. Four-day work week, 20% salary reductions, all personnel
3. No merit or cost of living increases
4. Elimination of full-time attorney and secretary positions

Ms. Casuga reviewed the expenditures by department that totalled
$1,074,529.
Additional Recommendations:
1. Assistance to laid-off employees
a. Letters of recommendation
b. Job search assistance
c. Resume writing
2. Maintain current level of accrual
3. If revenues increase:
a. Return staff to full-time status
b. Reinstate merit increases
c. Consider cost of living increase
of sick
and vacation leave
d. Fill vacant positions - laid-off personnel
4. Consider Marana 2010 Committe - Strategic Planning Group
5. Consider Town Hall for Fall ' 90 - Community participation
Chief Radcliffe reviewed his department's budget. He started
with $700,000 and has trimmed to $395,000. His staff will
continue D.A.R.E. and the Boys Activities on their own time. The
layoffs will be by seniority. It was felt demotions should not
be made when there is already a 20% pay cut. Reserves will be
utilitized more and any surplus vehicles will be sold. Two new
vehicles are from racketeering money at no cost to the Town.
Bob Kern reviewed the Street Department budget. He cut from
$300,000 to $140,000. State laws and safety regulations dictate
some of his expenses. He will lay-off by merit.
Judge Kline trimmed the Court's budget from $77,000 to $52,000.
This will mean he will be at the Court two days per week. He
has already dismissed cases due to lack of funds. He has a new
computer worth ~ that came from the Supreme Court.
Evelyn Casuga outlined the expenses that fall under
administration, and that Development and Planning and Zoning are
included, totalling $217,000.
The Council must give clear directions to the budget committee.
The committee will be meeting with each department. There should
be some contingency funds. If revenue should increase, we need
to be able to spend it and not exceed our expenditure limitation.
Terry Bown, Budget Committee Chairman, suggested we take $90,000
from the money from the County towards the park, and get a
Certificate of Deposit; then get a loan with the C.D. as
collateral.

There was a recess at 8:45 p.m. and the meeting resumned at 8:58.
The Council all gave their thoughts on the budget. Consensus was
to continue with Town Hall, upgrade the accounting, continue with
plans to acquire the Park, and not allocate money to the Fire
Department. Seasonal employment was mentioned as a means to help
laid-off employees.
Evelyn Casuga said there would be a presentation on June 5
regarding a sales tax audit.
Patricia Williams suggested perhaps the University of Arizona Law
school could supply a legal intern. Ms. Casuga said we now have
an intern in Planning and Zoning.
VII. B. Catholic Community Services Proposal Activities

The Catholic Community Services would like a senior program site
manager to be hired by the Town and they would reimburse the Town.
This would be a one-half time position.

hearing. In response to David Morales, Chuck Dinauer explained
this 23 acre parcel is located to the east of Thornydale Road and

the Marana Volunteer Fire Chief had only been received in her
office earlier this date. Mayor Harn asked the Manager to contact

other material be submitted within the prescribed deadline.

Bob McCrea expressed concern that the last two times a fire
department matter was placed on the agenda, there was no one
present to answer questions the Council might have.
In reply to Doug Mostyn, the Manager stated the fire department
has not, as yet, received payment for the pipeline incident.
Mayor Harn stated all bills should have been posted to the town
and expressed concern that that might not have happened.
In reply to David Morales, Mayor Harn stated Ed Moore had
responded, diplomatically, that he did not have time to meet with
her and the fire chief.

X. Staff Reports
X. A. Engineer's Report
A monthly departmental operations report was filed by Morgan
Johnson, Town Engineer (Copy in file). Mayor Harn reported that
packets were submitted to Pate & Harper and to Harper's daughter
regarding the Tangerine Road re-alignment dedication. She
expressed the opinion that securing the rights-of-way look
favorable.
X. B. Police Report
A monthly departmental operations report was filed by Chief Lynn
K. Radcliffe (Copy in file). In reply to Bill Schisler, Chief
Radcliffe reported that Item 26 "Suspicious Circumstances" could
be anything from noises on a roof to investigation of a
transient.
The Chief stated they will have to return the "Dark Invader"
Night Scope because it is defective.
X. C. Street Report
A monthly departmental operations report was filed by Robert R.
Kern, Road Supervisor (Copy in file). Mr. Kern reported that he
has two tractors and a water truck out of service. The water
truck problem is not serious, but one tractor has a bad fuel
injector and will be expensive to repair. He reported the clutch
on the front-end loader is bad and the pro will not release,
which makes the unit unsafe to operate.
David Morales remarked people are cutting the intersections short
and making big holes. He asked if dirt could be placed in the
holes to prevent further damage. Mr. Kern stated that, in his
three-year report, he had taken into account widening all these
radiuses, adding that his department does fill in the holes
whenever they can.
Tom Hum questioned when they planned to chip and seal Barnett
Road. The Town Engineer responded that they were still in the
process of securing rights-of-way, and they have not received
authorization from CDBG Office to spend the funds for the

tion. A ton of soil will produce two and one-half pounds of

ness. He also questioned whether the auditors get 10% of the

researched. Cost of the canvass was budgeted. David Morales said

ers out of business.

desired.

Doug Mostyn said we have always supported the Fire Department in

Marana Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. for their emergency medi-
cal and fire protection.
Randy Emerson, Tempo Investment, gave information on intention of
requesting annexation. The area consists of 558 acres surrounded
by present Marana town limits. The basis for requesting is that
this is an infill annexation; there is no increase in cost of
services to the Town; no increased zoning - zoning requested has
been approved by the County; substantial fees will come to the
Town; and the Town will control development and receive taxes.
Mike Grassinger, The Planning Center, showed the plan called

units to challenge the census count. Three areas seemed to have
been missed - Vision and Falcon, Amole Circle, and east of 1-10
south of Tangerine Road to Camino de Manana.
David Morales said the census is so important and we have to live
with those figures for ten years, and moved that we direct the
Town Manager to hire two persons to assist Mr. Dinauer. The
motion was seconded by Tom Hum. During discussion it was asked
why state the number of persons, and perhaps volunteer help could
be found. Mr. Morales withdrew that motion and moved that the
Town Manager hire the necessary persons to conduct an audit of
the census. The mot]on was seconded by Tom Hum. During discus--
sion, Mr. Morales said he had faith in the manager, and if volun-
teer help could be found, than it would not be necessary to
"hire". Roll call vote on the motion was as follows:

Motion failed.
VIII. E. Special Event Liquor License - St. Christopher Church
Betty Horrigan said this request is for the two-day Fall Festi-
val. Mr. Morales said they hire off-duty Marana Police even
though there has never been any trouble.
Tom Hum moved to approve the special event liquor license, sec-
onded by Doug Mostyn.
Rev. George Emmert said this does not promote spiritual or physi-
cal growth and asked that Council deny the request. Ora Ham
asked if the drinking would be confined to a certain area. When
Mrs. Horrigan said it would not, Mrs. Ham said she would have to
vote no because of the influence on juveniles.
Vote on the motion carried, with Ora Ham voting "no" and Bob
McCrea abstained.

cation System License to Marana Cable Systems, Inc. Request

Bob McCrea moved to remove resolution 30, regarding concealed
weapons, from the resolutions presented to the League. The
motion was seconded by Tom Hum and carried. David Morales said
he is being put on a rotating shift and when he asked his employ-
er about being off to attend council meetings, he was told he
should decide if he wanted to be a miner or a council member. He
would like to know if there is some resolution regarding this.
VIII. H. Town Council Members Compensation
Bob McCrea suggested this item with $1 compensation so that
conflict of interest will not be violated. It was mentioned that
some real compensation to cover cost of gasoline at least be
considered. Ora Harn asked Bill Schisler to inquire regarding
whether this would effect social security disabled benefits. Any
compensation set would be for the next Council, not the present
Council.
VIII. I. Stadium Site Development
David Morales said the genera] plan will be reviewed next year
and we should be considering including a stadium. It would
require a 200 acre site and should be located within a two mile
radius from Tangerine Road and 1-10. Doug Mostyn said he felt we
should stay with the amphitheater request as it is smaller scale.
Bob McCrea said he did not feel the proposed stadium could be
filled. Elwin Clifton felt this would take 20-30 years and a
proposal that would take only 5-10 years would be preferred.
VIII. J. Comprehensive Multi-purpose Marana Flood Control
Project
Bob McCrea moved to endorse the Comprehensive Multi~-Purpose
Marana Flood Control Project as approved by the Flood Control
District Board on August 7, 1990, with the qualification that the
following details must be negotiated further: 1) the benefit
fee structure as discussed in item 2 D of the August 7, 1990
memorandum to the Board of Supervisors; 2) clarification of the
hold harmless agreements as discussed in item 2 F of the memoran-
dum; and 3) the terms of expansion of the Tangerine Road Land-
fill, and further authorize staff to undertake the above negotia-
tion and other negotiations as suggested by the project report.
The motion was seconded by David Morales and carried.

said we need two people from the area to endorse this project
which will bring $300,000 a year to Marana. Mrs. Kal was sug-
gested as a possible candidate for endorsement. Mayor Ham said
Council must show unity on this issue, and it is so important as
Marana has a vote the same as Tucson and Pima County.

2. Festival of Cities and Towns
Mayor Harn said the theme will be "Marana Products". We will use
pictures taken by Eileen on cotton production and probably some--
thing from MUPI. Eileen is coordinator of the display, and
volunteers are needed to help. This will be Wednesday evening,
September 19.
G. Sales Tax Canvass
Mayor Ham said that it is fact that our staff does not have time
to conduct a tax audit, and the Arizona Department of Revenue
does not have the staff to do this. We should, therefore, be
going ahead with our contract with Government Management Services
Group. We could stipulate a review after two or three thousand
dollars have been expended.
Bill schisler moved to remove the tax canvass from the table.
The motion was seconded by Bob McCrea. Roll call vote was as
follows:
Vice Mayor McCrea,
Tom Hum, no
David Morales, no
Doug Mostyn, no
Jo Rex, yes
Bill Schisler, yes
Mayor Harn, yes
yes
Motion carried.
Jo Rex moved to contract for the tax audit and to set a limit of
$2,500 and a full report at that time before the contract is
continued. The motion was seconded by Bill Schisler.
David Morales said Marana is a farming town and will remain a
farmin9 town until the developers 9et going. There is much
vacant farm land now. If nobody plants next spring - who's to
blame?
Mayor Ham said one merchant said they pay on time and found the
tax was not going to Marana, and this amounted to $35,000.

Council should be concerned with educating the public, and must
not cave in and not collect tax that is due the Town by law,
especially when employees are living with a pay cut.
Bill Schisler said this is not a new tax, it should have been
paid all along. Mr. Schisler said he talked with a prominent
farmer and was told the dollar amount from all farmers in the
irrigation district would be about $8,000 per year. This should
not put a farmer out of business. We cannot be discriminatory,
the tax applies to all.
Tom Hum said he feels we are on the verge of a depression, and
this can ruin farmers, and the timing is bad.
Bob McCrea felt we must take this cautious first step.
Roll call vote was as follows:
Vice Mayor McCrea,
Tom Hum, no
David Morales, no
Doug Mostyn, no
Jo Rex, yes

H. Update on Marana Municipal Water System
Evelyn Casuga, Dan Groseclose, and Bob Kern all gave information.
There were some concerns over the rates, but they are favorable
compared to other water companies. The base charge is $8 and
then $1.65 per thousand after the first thousand. The Town Manag-
er can be contacted on any appeals or complaints.
We are obligated to set up an advisory committee. Barry
Lorraine Price, and Ray Honea were suggested. Previous
tions will be researched.

Mr. Groseclose said one-third of the customers are delinquent

have been sent to raise money. Tiles with the donor's name are

Mayor's Report
December 18~ 1990
I met with other women elected officials in Pima County on Decem-
ber 6, 1990, and we are planning for a "Legislative Day" for all
WIMG members in Arizona. I feel this council needs to be think-
ing about contacting the League and setting up a "Legislative
Day".
I attended the "Santa Land" event put on by the Sandario Road
Merchants to gather food and "Toys for Tots". It was very suc-
cessful, and most participants wish to make it a yearly event. I
really appreciate the lighted Christmas tree at the Monument.
Vice Mayor McCrea, Chuck Dinauer, and I met with our Oro Valley
counterparts on December 12, 1990. The discussions mainly cen-
tered on the efforts of Pima County and Tucson to form a Metro
Government. A Marana town representative will attend those
meetings to keep abreast of what's happening. Those negotiations
have Just begun. Oro Valley has hired a lobbyist. Oh, the Joys
of having some bucks.
Chuck Dinauer and I attended several meetings of the group who
are working on negotiations with Pima County to put together our
IGA. A lot of hard work has gone into this project.
I had breakfast on December 15, 1990 with residents of Valley of
the Sun. They are a hidden resource in the community. There is
a lot of time, energy and good minds in that Park.
I will be out of town on vacation from December 26, 1990 to
January 3, 1991.

Council Members should call Mr. Dinauer immediately. We want to

E. 1990-91 Budget Considerations
A. Purchase of Computer for the Court
Judge Kline spoke on the need, as the computer loaned by the
Supreme Court is full. The cost would be $4,000 and would come
out of the Court's budget. It should hold files of five years,
but if not, another hard drive could be obtained for $700-$800.
David Morales moved to approve purchase of the computer for the
court. The motion was seconded by Bob MeCrea and carried.
Bob McCrea felt Judge Kline had mislead Council saying the com-
puter was given by the Supreme Court instead of loaned. Judge
Kline said he always stated it was loaned. The minutes are to be
researched regarding this.
B. Outstanding Bills
The payables over $500 will be listed in the financial statement,
as stated earlier.
F. Barnett Road Status/Actions
Mr. Dinauer said we will lose the CDBG funding if we do not
complete Barnett Road by June 30, 1991. It has to be warmer to
work on the road. Mr. Dinauer will be working with Bob Kern and
Morgan Johnson to be sure we can utilize these funds. There may
be some flood relief funds also.

VII. Petitions and Comments
Mike Grassinger, The Planning Center, announced that the Arizona
Planning Association had an award for the Town of Marana for the
best comprehensive general plan. Sarah S. More, President of the
Arizona Planning Association presented the award to Mayor Ham.
Cary Honea, 14010 W. Grief Road, stated his concern that the
drainage problem on Grief Road has not yet been corrected. Mayor
Ham said this could not be discussed this evening, but it will
be on a future agenda.
Nelson Sabbe, thanked the Council for the use o£ the Town Hall
for the Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Mr. Sabbe endorsed the changing of policy on land use changes and
it should be speeded up.
Mr. Sabbe said he will be submitting a plan on a ten-acre project
to F & D Associates. It cost over $8,000 for the plans and will
cost about $4,000 for F & D to look at them. He thinks this ls
outrageous. There is an engineering firm in Marana now and he
encourages the Council to use that firm.
Mr. Sabbe said the Avra Valley airport is expanding in two
phases. He urges Council to advocate combining these phases to
accomplish this at the earliest possible time. There is a compa-
ny interested who will go to Boise, Idaho if the project here is
not completed. Mayor Harn said we might write a letter of en-
couragement to the officials to combine these two phases.
Mr. Hum asked about the listing of attorney and engineering bills
to be on the agenda. Mayor Ham said these bills are appearing
on the financial statement and do not need to be on the agenda.
David Morales reported on the cost of getting an ambulance in
Marana. It would be approximately $150,00 per year. About 358
people per year require transportation to the hospital at a cost
of approximately $245. About $60,000 would be paid, but we
wouId have to come up with $90,000. This is an information
report.

Dr. Morgan Johnson, has been discussing the need for a drainage
study, and a letter outlining the needs is in the packet. There

the cost of the study would be $100,000 - $125,000. Mayor Ham

cause the water originates in areas which are outside Marana town
boundaries.

IX. F. Update on Marana Park
Meetings have been held with County officials, and Harold H]gg]ns
arranged a meeting with Sheriff Dnpnick. At the first meeting in
December, Mr. Felix and his group will meet with Town Council
and we can make the transition.
We have the use of water, and the ponds belong to the school, we
have no employee for the senior center. Catholic Community
Services will pay $7,90 per hour for a half-time person, we
could have a full time person with the Town paying less than
half-tlme. David Morales moved to authorize the Mayor to adver-
tise in the Star or Citizen (ad to be paid for by the Catholic
Co~unity Services) for a full time person for the Recreation
Center, and the Catholic Community Services will contribute to
the salary according to the contract. The motion was seconded by
Jo Rex and carried.
Evelyn Casuga said the portion of the salary that the town will
pay can be paid by the Rural Recreation Program.
IX. G. 1990-91 Budget Considerations
Eve'lyn Casuga had met with F & D and a payment~'~ch_dul_~- ~ was set
up. The former town attorney will be paid also as cash flow
allows. At the earliest possible time, restoration of sata~ies
should be considered. A reserve should be kept .it all times.

1990, and Rev. Clifton will be chairing, as the chairman is out
of town. Council is urged to attend this meeting.
IX. H. Memorial Day Picnic Update
David Morales reported that $200 had been donated and only
$115.53 expended. Leftover meat was given to Casa Maria and
leftover buns to the Marana Food Bank.
Mr. Morales would like next year to observe the changing of the
colors and the potluck, and add a horseshoe tournament and chili
cook-off contest. Mayor Harn thought we should leave it a pot-
luck and not get into the food business. It was stressed that
individual council persons should not act alone on plannin9 such
activities.
IX. I. Consideration of Town Manager Resignation
Doug Mostyn moved to accept, with regret, the resignation of

Bill Schisler had a question on Item II(C) on the written report,
John Lynch stated there was a disparity between the documents the
County had on Desert Foothills and what was recorded in the
Recorder's office, which they were trying to resolve.
Mayor Ham said that on Item II(B) of the report, she had
requested the right-of-way information on Twin Peaks Road be sent
to County Supervisor Ed Moore's Office because he had indicated
the County might be able to give the town some assistance on the
unpaved portion of the road, and that it appears West Silverbell
Road is not on the map and that has yet to be resolved. Mr.
Lynch said they could not find it had ever been dedicated.

Bob McCrea asked whether the Police Department could
realistically expend the substantial amount of funds the
Department is collecting from drug busts to fight the drug war in
the community. Chief Radcliffe stated that any proceeds from the
sales of that equipment or cash received was supposed to be put
in the County Attorney's anti-racketeering fund, the County then
takes 15% of that o~f the top. The balance is put into an
account in the name of the police department with very stringent
ways that money can be used. He said the funds can't be used for
much until the Town gets big enough that they really need it. He
feels there may be a way those funds can be converted to the
general fund, and he was working on that with the Town's former
attorney, and will continue to work on it with the new Town
attorney.
Discussion ensued on a need for additional space to store the
seized equipment, which is currently being stored at the Street
Department's equipment yard. Chief Radcliffe stated that use of
these drug seizure funds for chain link fencing to compound these
seized vehicles around the police department would be a
legitimate expenditure.

Zoning Administrator, Chuck Dinauer for his volunteer assistance
to Mr. Kern in keeping the water system going. Bob McCrea said he
had received a phone call from two citizens with water concerns
and that he found Mr. Kern and went with him in knee-deep mud to
fix the problem. He commended Mr Kern and his crew for the good
job they are doing and especially since the Water Department is
not their job; they are only filling in until a staff can be
obtained. He stated this crew is doing the town a great service
and they should be remembered for this in the next budget.

In reply to Tom Hum, Vick Charnis said it is a new trend that
California companies are relocating to Arizona. Mayor Ham
stated that Andy Flores from Greater Tucson Economic Council
(GTEC) was the man responsible for bringing this new company to
Marana. She added that Marana holds a position on GTEC, which
will be beneficial to the Town's economic future. Tom Hum said a
Taiwanese business (TRI-STAR) is also moving to the area.

In response to Bill Schisler, Evelyn Casuga stated the most

recall effort, however she was not sure of the exact terminology
on the petitions.
X. G. Planning and Zoning Report
A monthly departmental operations report was filed by Chuck
Dinauer, Planning & Zoning Administrator (Copy in file).
Chuck Dinauer reported that at the recent American Planning
Association meeting (APA) of the Arizona Chapter they gave the
Town of Marana's General Plan the award for the best
comprehensive and general plan.
Charles Hulsey stated he was on the Board of Directors of APA,
and on the 13th of October, they voted to send the Marana General
Plan along with the plans of some other recipients, to the
National Conference for the National Awards Programs.
Bill Schisler and Mayor Ham said they were glad to see a renewed
interest in the Marana Gardens project.
XI. Order of Business
XI. A. Presentation by J. Douglass Marshall, Rawhide Holdings,
Inc.
Douglass Marshall, a land investor with Rawhide Holdings, Inc.,
and his representative, Charles Hulsey, presented information on
a proposed development of 360 acres of land located adjacent to
the Town of Marana in Pinal County. Charles Hulsey stated they
were just in the initial stages of land planning for this piece
of property, and outlined all the steps they would have to take
with Pinal County before they could proceed with the project.
In reply to Tom Hum, Mr. Hulsey stated they would either develop
their own water and sewer system or hook into an existing system.
He said they had already contacted Cortaro Water Users
Association about joining them. They hope to build sewer lines
to hook into Marana's system.
David Morales asked if they had any plans in the near future to
request annexation into the Town of Marana. Mr. Hulsey replied
that it is pretty obvious that the political future of this
development is with the Town of Marana, but that topic had not
been discussed, and that they did not know if the Council would
be that interested in annexing the development. Mayor Harn said
that Supervisor Weathersly of Pinal County has expressed concern
about Marana annexing into that County, and he was especially
concerned that an attempt by will be made by Marana to annex the

Air Park.
XI. B. Consideration of Payment Schedule with F&D/GLHN
John Lynch of F & D Associates, LTD., stated the amount of money
the Town owes his firm has become somewhat of a burden to his
firm and the Town. He requested the Council to work out some
type of agreement for a repayment schedule. A motion was made by
David Morales, and seconded by Jo Rex that staff be authorized to
negotiate mutually acceptable payment terms with F&D/GLHN. Tom
Hum questioned how it had happened that they had gotten so far in
debt, and asked if this was known to the Mayor and Vice Mayor,
Evelyn Casuga stated this was addressed during budget discussions
and this amount falls within the shortfall amount that they
anticipated during this fiscal year. Jo Rex expressed shock at
the amount due, and said the debt existed before her being
elected. Mr. Lynch informed the Council this amount goes back to
April and May of 1989, and that a year ago it extended back into
the early portions of 1989 and has been running nine to twelve
months behind for sometime. Bill Schisler said that several
months ago he brought this matter to the attention of the Council
and said something needed to be done now. He stated he was in
~avor of the motion, but felt it should come back before the
Budget Committee and Council before final action. Bob McCrea
concurred. Mr. Lynch said this was more than acceptable. The
motion carried.
XI C. Consideration of Promissory Note with John Moffitt
Evelyn Casuga stated the agreement has been approved by the Town
Attorney and this debt falls within the known short~all for the
current fiscal year. Bill Schisler moved that the promissory
note with the former Town attorney be approved The motion was
seconded by David Morales. Mayor Harn suggested that the~ work
out the same kind of agreement as the previous action in working
with the Budget Com~nittee and Financial Clerk. The motion
carried.
Mayor Harn called a recess at 8:10 p.m., the meeting resumed at
8:23 p.m.
XI. D Resolution 90-31 - Arizona Heritaqe Fund
A motion was made by David Morales and seconded by Bill Schisler
that Resolution 90-31 be adopted. Bob McCrea expressed concern
because of the large amount of lottery funds involved. He stated
when people play the lottery they think the majority of funds
will go to them. Bill Schisler explained the lottery process for
allocating funds, and added that passage of Proposition 200 will
not affect the amount of money the lottery winners receive. The
motion carried, with Bob McCrea abstaining from voting.

XI. E. Update on Marana Park Acquisition
Evelyn Casuga stated: Pima County is in the process o~ soil
testing review, and as far as the ponds are concerned, they
belong to the schools, and a way will have to be figured out on
how to deal with that, visually; Mr. Felix has indicated the
County will maintain a level of service to the community; It
looks like the agreement for acquisition of the park can be
negotiated around November to the first of the year; agreement
for the town taking over the governmental buildings has not yet
been resolved. Evelyn Casuga suggested the Council may want to
rethink taking over those buildings now because of the lack of
staff and financial ability to maintain them.
Mayor Harn said the Council should go ahead with the park deal
leaving space to negotiate for the buildings in the future. Bill
Schisler concurred, and said the Town needs those buildings. He
suggested a stipulation be placed in the agreement allowing for
eventual negotiation for the buildings in maybe two or three
years. In reply to Bob McCrea, Mayor Harn stated the school
officials have attended ail the negotiation meetings and have
submitted a letter stating their intentions to participate in the
park acquisition agreement.
XI. F Town Council members Compensation
Bob McCrea stated It seems to him a person could not do justice
to one position while seeking another political position, and
such action would be an injustice to the Town. Dsvid Morales said
that when he was running for County Supervisor in 1988, the Town
did not su~fer because he never missed a Council meeting and in
addition, he made a lot of connections while running for that
position he did not have before which he felt bettered the Town.
David Morales called for a point of order because this item was
voted on two meetings ago and the only member who could bring it
back on the agenda was one who had voted against the item at the
previous meeting. Mayor Harn stated the item previously failed
because of a tie vote and there was not a prevailing vote.
Evelyn Casuga said she asked the Town's attorney about this
point, and he said that since the Council had not formally
adopted Roberts Rules o[ Order nor adopted a set of by laws, the
Council calls the shots. David Morales said the Council set a
precedence when they voted not to grant a cable company a license
and placed it on another agenda and changed their vote.
A motion was made by Bill Schisler and seconded by Bob McCrea
that the Town Council members be paid $1.00 a year starting
after the next election. Tom Hum objected to paying Council
members except the Mayor and Vice Mayor. Jo Rex objected to

utilization of the Town's attorney to research this item because
of the current financial status of the Town. She felt it would
have been better to vote on the matter or work it out among the
Council members,
An amended motion was made by Jo Rex and seconded by Bob McCrea
that compensation to Council members not exceed $1.00 per year
until such a time as they are financially capable of increasing
the amount of compensation° Upon vote being taken on the amended
motion, Vice Mayor McCrea, Jo Rex, Bill Schisler and Mayor Harn
voted "yes," Tom Hum and David Morales voted "No." The
amendment to the motion carried.
A roll call vote was made on the motion to pay the Council
members $1.00 a year beginning after the next election. The vote
was as follows:
Vice Mayor McCrea,
Tom Hum, No
David Morales, No
Jo Rex, Yes
Bill Schisler, Yes
Mayor Ham, Yes
Yes
The motion carried.
XI. G, Founders Day Repo!~t
A Founders Day report was given by Jo Rex, Leilani Schisler and
Diane Smith. Diane Smith stated there will be a full page ad in
her newspaper and announcements on local radio and possibly
television. There will be a VIP breakfast, a king and queen will
be voted on by the people paying $I.00 per vote and there will be
open house at the new Town Hall facility.
XI. H Maygr's R~port
Mayor Harn helped with the move to the new Town Hall facility.
Mayor Harn set up community meetings at various places in the
community and made presentations on the proposed Transportation
Excise Tax (Proposition 401)
Bill Simpson will print the Proclamations for Red Ribbon Day.
XI. I, Manager's Memo
Evelyn Casuga thanked the Council for the new Town Hall
facilities, which she feels is a source of pride and enjoyment
for the community and those who work for the Council.
