Chief Vidaurri has executed a memorandum of understanding with DEA that assigns an experienced Marana police officer to participate as a member of the DEA Tucson Task Force. The mission of the Task Force is to disrupt the illicit drug traffic in the State of Arizona area and prosecute perpetrators by immobilizing targeted violators and trafficking organizations, gathering and reporting intelligence data relating to trafficking in narcotics and dangerous drugs, conducting undercover operations where appropriate, and engaging in other traditional methods of investigation. MPD will supply a vehicle and all normally necessary equipment for its member of the Task Force, and DEA will equip and provide the vehicle with a mobile radio, fuel and maintenance. MPD will pay the salary, health insurance, benefits and worker's compensation and any overtime for its participating employee, and DEA will reimburse the overtime on a quarterly basis not to exceed $14,666.25 annually. The memorandum of understanding does not increase MPD's financial obligations beyond those in the approved budget, and it allocates current personnel duties in a manner consistent with the Chief's normal administrative authority.

B. 6 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2005.09: Relating to Development; rezoning 845-acres of land from "R-144" to zone "F" and creating the Sanders Grove Specific Plan on property located east of Sanders Road, south of Hardin Road, east of Kirby Hughes and north of Marana Road. DISCUSSION The Mayor and Council continued this item from the December 21, 2004 Council Meeting based on the applicants need to complete residential design standards. It was originally presented to Council as Ordinance No. 2004.25. The applicant has submitted and the Town has generally accepted the revised residential design standards. In addition, the applicant has redesigned the project to provide the continued connection of Kirby Hughes Road from Wentz Road to the I-10 frontage Road. Diamond Ventures, represented by The Planning Center, is seeking the approval of a rezoning for an 845-acre site to develop a residential neighborhood with an 18.5 acre commercial area and a variety of open spaces, including a trail system. The subject site is on the north side of Marana Road, south of Hardin Road, between Wentz Road to the west and Sanders Road to the east. Approval of this proposal would rezone the subject area from "R-144" to "F" Specific Plan and adopt the Sanders Grove Specific Plan. GENERAL PLAN The Town of Marana General Plan Update, ratified March 11, 2003, designates the subject area as Low Density Residential (LDR). Per the adopted General Plan the proposed rezoning also requires a minor amendment to the General Plan. The minor amendment is incorporated into this process and would allow for the General Plan land use designation to be changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Master Planning Area (MPA). The proposed project meets the criteria for a minor amendment and therefore staff is including the review and recommendation for the minor amendment to the General Plan in conjunction with this application. LAND USE The Sanders Grove Specific Plan proposes 16 Planning Areas with four (4) different land use designations. The land use designations consist of Medium-Low Density Residential (MLDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR) and 072004 PCZ-03131 Tortolita Vistas SP.doc Commercial (C). The proposed Land Use Concept also includes an Open Space Overlay Zone of 84.8 acres. The proposed specific plan limits the project to no more than 2,500 residential units. Lots next to Wentz Road will contain a minimum of 12,000 square feet to provide a transition and buffer to the existing neighbors to the west. The existing Kirby Hughes Road is the only proposed access onto Wentz Road. The Northwest Marana Area Plan uses aResidential/Commercial concept as its preferred land use design. The Residential/Commercial concept provides or a gradient from the higher intensity uses to the less intensive uses. The proposed Sanders Grove Specific Plan implements the Residential/Commercial concept by placing the higher intensity uses at the southeast corner of the project and placing the less intense of uses towards the west where there is existing residents. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION The Sanders Grove Specific Plan is proposing to provide direct access to the project through access points along Marana Road to the south and Sanders Road to the east. An internal loop street is proposed to serve the project that connects Marana Road and Sanders Road. Kirby Hughes Road will provide an east-west alignment for the northern portion of the project from Wentz Road and the I-10 Frontage Road. This will provide the existing users to the west of Wentz Road the ability to continue to have direct access to the frontage road. The applicant is proposing to limit access from Wentz Road only for the connection to Kirby Hughes Road. All streets will comply with the adopted Town of Marana Local Street standards. The proposed circulation system differs from the adopted Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan by modifying the existing grid system and creating an internal loop to serve the project. The adjacent roads (Sanders, Marana, Wentz and Hardin) bordering the project will be dedicated and constructed, as necessary, in compliance with the adopted plans. The extension of Tangerine Farms Loop Road to the north-west and the southern east-west connection (Sagebrush Road) are two of the changes to the adopted Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan being proposed. Staff initially supports the proposed changes to the Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan, but will need to process the appropriate amendment. With the Town Center planning effort underway the roadways, intersections and overall circulation will be comprehensively reviewed. This will provide staff with a comprehensive update to the Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan to take in hand the Town Center planning efforts which encompass a larger area than that of this project. Staff has added a condition that prior to the submittal of the Preliminary Block Plat or the first Preliminary Plat the Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan shall be amended to reflect the proposed changes or an amendment to the Sanders Grove Specific Plan shall be processed to have the circulation system amended to be in conformance with the adopted Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan. In addition staff is recommending that the applicant hire a third party transportation planner, acceptable to the Town of Marana, to participate in the study to update the current Major Routes Rights-of--Way Plan to address the proposed changes including, but not limited to deletion of the extension of Tangerine Farms Loop Road to the northwest and the elimination of the southern collector alignment (Sagebrush Road). -2- 030105 PCZ-04019 Sanders Grove SP.doc ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Pursuant to the Sanders Grove Preliminary Traffic Analysis (revised 10/25/04) prepared by Curtis Lueck and Associates, the Developer shall submit a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the property concurrently with the submittal of the first block or preliminary plat for the property, which TIA shall be reviewed by the Town. The timing and scope of construction of road improvements (to include the construction of traffic control signals) to be provided by the Developer will be determined by the Town based on the findings of the TIA. OPEN SPACE, RECREATION AND TRAILS The Sanders Grove Specific Plan will be provided with "pocket parks" located throughout the ~ development. These parks will address the required on-site recreational requirements and be developed in conjunction with the individual subdivisions and meet the minimum Town of Marana adopted standards. The plan proposes the neighborhood park to be located adjacent to the I-10 frontage road. This park will provide active and passive recreational opportunities, including picnic areas, ramadas, grills, soccer/football fields, baseball/softball fields and basketball courts. The master developer proposes to develop the neighborhood park and dedicate the facilities to the Town of Marana. In addition, per the proposed Sanders Grove Specific Plan the developer will improve and dedicate (minimum 20-acres) and/or a monetary contribution equaling a minimum fee of $1,000.00 per residential unit for regional and off-site parks. The project is also proposing a system of trails and open spaces that will provide a pedestrian friendly inter-connective system for the future residences. SEWER & WATER All lots will be served by extending the existing Pima County Wastewater Management sewer system. The developer will prepare at his sole expense, a sewer master plan prior to approval of the sewer plans for the property. The sewer master plan will define the necessary wastewater conveyance scheme to connect to the existing Pima County Wastewater system in a location acceptable to the Town and Pima County. The sewer master plan will also identify the necessary onsite conveyance scheme to provide sewer connection to all of the platted lots or blocks within the Property. The Sewer Master Plan will include a sewer phasing plan that must be acceptable to Pima County Wastewater Management and the Town. Prior to the approval of the water plans for the property, the developer shall prepare a water master plan for the property and shall enter into a Water Service Agreement with the Marana Municipal Water Company ("MMWC") for potable and non-potable systems which sets forth the various agreements of the Parties relating to, among other things, the interconnection and main extension from the existing water system, and the development, construction, dedication, ownership, and design of the water system, including necessary storage and well(s) necessary to serve the Property. The parties intend for MMWC to own the potable and non-potable water systems, that MMWC will provide potable water service to the Property, and that either MMWC or the Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District ("CMID") will provide non-potable water service to the Property (through the non-potable water system constructed by the Developer and dedicated to MMWC). -3- 030105 PCZ-04019 Sanders Grove SP.doc CULTURAL RESOURCES Because the site has not been completely surveyed the Arizona State Museum recommends that an archaeological surface inspection be conducted for the entire site. In conjunction with the inspection any recommended additional testing and/or mitigation measures recommended must be completed prior to any development related ground disturbance. SCHOOL DISTRICT The proposed maximum number of residential units could generate as many as 1,250 kindergarten through sixth grade new students and 1,250 seventh grade through high school new students for the Marana School District. Per the Sanders Grove Specific Plan the Master Developer volunteers to contribute a fee of $1,200.00 per residential unit to mitigate the effects of the proposed development on the Marana Unified School District. In addition, the master developer will reserve a 15-acre school site at the intersection of Sanders Road and the Frontage Road for five years from the adoption of the specific plan. The actual site will be determined through an agreement between the master developer and the Marana Unified School District. FIRE PROTECTION Per the proposed rezoning conditions, prior to a certificate of occupancy being issued for any dwelling unit, the owner shall have completed or shall provide evidence to the Town's satisfaction that he has made a diligent effort to complete the process of having the property annexed into a fire district or otherwise provide for fire protection service, as accepted by the Town of Marana. DESIGN STANDARDS Section IV Development and Design Guidelines provide the regulatory requirements for the proposed specific plan. The applicant has revised the residential design standards to encourage architectural elements that foster and promote "forward living" architecture including front porches, living areas that are designed forward of the garage, as well as reduced and varied second story elements. The design guidelines have been divided into two sets of standards, one consisting of Town of Marana enforced standards and one for the Sanders Grove Design Committee enforced design standards. The six elements contained in the Town of Marana enforced Residential Standards are: 1) Site Planning; 2) Garages; 3) Roofs Design; 4) Front Porches; 5) Streetscapes and Entrances; and 6) Exterior Lighting.

The proposed Sanders Grove Specific Plan proposes to develop the site with a mix of residential densities, and an 18.5 acre commercial area with a variety of open spaces and a trail system. The property is located north of Marana Road, west of Sanders Road, south of Hardin Road and East of Wentz Road. 0 0 0 ... .. .-, .•~ a Sanders Grove S eci 'c Plan p Executive Summary PCZ-04019 (I V~_`I ; ~ i~j`,1i_:?. ~~~? i ~ ~ PLANNING CENTER 110 SOUTH CHURCH, SUITE 6320 TUCSON, ARIZONA 85701 520.623.6146 fax 520.622.1950 www. azplanningcenter. com Executive Summary The Sanders Grove Specific Plan encompasses approximately 845 acres in northwest ,_ Marana. The Specific Plan establishes the location and intensity of land uses, the circulation pattern and overall character of the Sanders Grove development. The plan ~, focuses on coordinating a mix of residential densities per acre, with commercial uses, while supporting recreational and open space uses with internal pedestrian capabilities providing linkages to regional open space. A variety of housing options are supported by the Specific Plan, including a range of lot sizes and price ranges and a mix of single- family attached and detached homes. Several changes have been made to the Specific Plan based on discussions with Town staff and neighboring property owners. In the original plan, the majority of Kirby Hughes Road within the property boundaries was to be abandoned. That has been changed. Kirby Hughes Road is proposed to remain and improvements will be made, including a 20-foot landscaped buffer along both sides of the right-of-way. The other significant change is the inclusion of more detailed residential design guidelines. These design guidelines encourage architectural elements that foster and "°" promote forward living architecture including front porches, living areas that are designed forward of the garage, as well as reduced and varied second story elements. ~.. The guidelines have been divided into two categories. The first category consists of Town enforced standards. While the Sanders Grove Design Review Committee (DRC) will review all site and architectural designs for compliance to all the Sanders Grove Design Standards, the enforcement of these standards will. be handled by the appropriate department within the Town. of Marana. The second category of standards will be reviewed and enforced by the DRC. There is overlap by the DRC in almost all categories. This will ensure compliance because the DRC will review all design components prior to submitting to the Town. .._ The 845-acre site will be broken down into 16 parcels, rather than the previous 17, consisting primarily of residential uses. The goal of the land use concept plan remains the same, which is to establish a neighborhood scale and unique identity for Sanders Grove, while at the same time integrating it into the larger community. The higher density housing and commercial area are concentrated in the southeast corner, away from existing residential uses along Wentz Road. Residential densities and intensities ~,!1 Sanders Grove Specific Plan 1 ~.. ~~ Mrz~~ana, Arizona Executive Summary will transition from Medium-High Residential to Medium-Low Residential from east to west, with the lowest residential densities along Wentz Road. ,~ Lots along Wentz Road, within the Medium-Low Density Residential designation, will have a minimum 12,000 square foot lot size to buffer the neighbors to the west. Medium Density Residential, which consists of single-family detached homes, encompasses the .~ majority of the site. Many of the lots will back onto the open space and recreation amenities provided in Sanders Grove. The southeast portion of the site has been "'® designated for commercial use surrounded by Medium-High Density Residential, which may consist of attached and/or detached single-family residences. Open space/recreation provisions within Sanders Grove will meet or exceed the Town's standards, which require 185 square feet per single-family residence (140 square feet for town homes); 6 acres of open space per 1000 residents; and a combination of monetary contributions, dedication of land, or improvements that equal at least $1000 per home for off-site recreation amenities. '°" A system of internal open space linkages has been incorporated into the Sanders Grove Specific Plan. The placement of pocket parks and other open space amenities in close ~-. proximity to residential areas reinforces a sense of community. Private open space areas will be located throughout the development, including a large area extending from the northeast portion of the project site to its southern boundary. The community's public open space includes a neighborhood park, which will. be at least 20 acres and will include playing fields and other public amenities. It will be located along the I-10 Frontage Road at the northern boundary of the project site, to be "' dedicated to the Town of Marana. This open space/recreation area will also help buffer the noise from I-10 that would otherwise affect residents of the development. A multi-use trail system will be included along Marana Road, Sanders Grove Drive, and the linear open space area. This will provide access to the neighborhood park and. the trail system outlined in the Trail System Master Plan (September 2000). ~,~ Sanders Grove Specific Plan 2 Marana, Arizona Executive Summary SANDERS GROVE SPECIFIC PLAN LAND USE CONCEPT AREA ACRES DESIGNATION Plannin Area 1 18.5 C Plannin Area 2 27.5 MDR Plannin Area 3a & 3b 31.1 MHDR Plannin Area 4 58.5 MDR Plannin Area 5 39.0 MDR Plannin Area 6 68.7 MDR Plannin Area 7 61.0 MLDR Plannin Area 8 49.8 MLDR Plannin Area 9 56.3 MLDR Plannin Area 10 57.1 MLDR Plannin Area 11 65.0 MDR Plannin Area 12 57.4 MDR Plannin Area 13 89.8 MDR Plannin Area 14 45.8 MDR Plannin Area 15 49.4 MLDR Plannin Area 16 70.2 MLDR Total Acres 845 O en S ace Overla Zone* 84.8 OS Target Units: 2500 n, ,!~ Sanders Grove Specific Plan 3 Marano, A~~izona Executive Summary The following is a more detailed summary of each section of the Sanders Grove Specific ~- Plan: Section I: Introduction This section of the Specific Plan provides a description of the location of the property as well as a brief summary of the Specific Plan.

DISCUSSION The Marana Planning Commission held a public hearing on this application at its regular meeting of December 15, 2004, and voted 6-0 recommending approval to the Mayor and Council. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval of a 41-lot grading restricted single family subdivision on approximately 58 acres zoned R-16. The project site is generally located on the east side of Silverbell Road approximately 1,000 feet south of Ina Road in a portion of Section 2, Township 13 South and Range 12 East. The preliminary plat proposes 41 lots that vary in size and configuration. The smallest lot proposed is 21,106 square feet, the largest lot is 206,288 square feet, and the average lot size is 33,173 square feet. The plan proposes 0.70 dwelling units per acre with 70% of the site being undisturbed open space. Further, the density and layout of the subdivision correlate with the surrounding subdivision and un-subdivided properties. The location of two story homes shall be permitted along Silverbell Road only. Lots adjacent to the western (lots 18, 30, 33, and 34) and the southern (lots 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16) property lines shall be limited to twenty feet in height or as specified on the plat. Per Ordinance 2002.19, the maximum disturbed area is 30% of the total site area. The maximum allowable individual grading envelope area is 16,000 (exclusive of driveways and utility installation). Any grading area in excess of 14,440 shall be re-vegetated with plant materials identical to those surrounding the area. Per discussions between senior staff and the developer, the developer will monitor and report to the Town the allowable remaining disturbance for each lot during the building permit stage. Tracking of total site disturbance will be performed by the Town using the metes and bounds surveys submitted with building permit applications in combination with periodic surveillance of the site using aerial photography and geographic information systems.

Cable Television Fee Reduction The Time is Now! Cable Bills Move Quickly The Cable Television Association and their members are pushing hard for quick passage of their bills to preempt local authority over cable companies. The Senate bill is ready for action on the Senate floor and this week a companion House bill, HB 2563, with identical provisions passed Committee in the House and so it is now poised for action by the entire House. If both bills pass in identical form, final passage can take place immediately. There is no time to waste on expressing your opposition to both House and Senate members. For those who missed our articles in previous Legislative Bulletins, both of these bills put the State in the middle of a relationship which for 30 years has been between the federal government and cities, towns and counties. The Legislature is inserting itself in the middle to give the cable companies a huge break in their fees and not providing any replacement revenue to the local governments which receive those fees. They are doing this in the name of tax equity but if there is an inequity it was not created by the state government and should not be solved there either. The bill limits the fee and other benefits you can receive from cable providers to your local sales tax rate on retail items plus one percent. Current federal law allows a fee of up to 5% and allows local governments and cable companies to negotiate other conditions of the license agreement. This bill dictates the terms of the agreement down to the fine points; are they really worried that cable companies are not capable of representing themselves in negotiating sessions with local governments? We see this bill as a huge intrusion into local control, an extremely dangerous precedent for an industry to be running to the State to "fix" future local agreements and a big giveaway of local funding. The time is now to express your concerns to your legislators; please call or e-mail them soon. Business Property Tax Reduction Bills are Moving Forward The movement to lower property taxes for businesses in Arizona has picked up momentum this session at the Legislature. This proposal has been recommended in both the Legislature's 2003 Tax Reform for Arizona's Citizens Committee and the Governor's Citizen's Finance Review Commission. There is a large coalition of chambers of commerce and business associations lobbying for the business property tax reduction this session and both the House Ways and Means Chair, Steve Huffman, and Senate Finance Chair, Dean Martin, have mentioned it as a priority. Representative Huffman and Senator Martin have both introduced bills to reduce business property taxes and these bills were considered this week in their respective chambers. While these bills achieve a similar objective, the bills accomplish it via different means. - continued - Representative Huffman's bill, HB 2508, Homeowner Property Taxes; Class One, reduces the assessment ratio for business property from 25% to 20% over a phased-in five year period. It also simultaneously increases the homeowners' rebate from 35% to 50% (it was amended this week to increase it to only 42% with a $600 cap) in an attempt to offset the property tax burden shift to homeowners. HB 2508 was considered and passed by two House committees this week, Ways and Means and Appropriations with a large number of business associations testifying in support in both hearings. The bill is now ready for the House floor after going through Rules and caucus. SB 1508, Commercial Property Tax Relief, which is Senator Martin's bill, was considered in the Senate Finance Committee Thursday. It passed by a unanimous vote and is now ready for Senate floor action after Rules and caucus. SB 1508 also reduces property taxes for business property, except it does not lower the assessment ratio for primary property tax purposes. Instead, it creates a business property rebate and funds it with collections from state sales and income tax collections. This could impact the growth in state shared revenues but leaves primary property taxes alone. It uses a different calculation for secondary property taxes (those used to pay off bonds) allowing the Joint Legislative Budget Committee to determine the assessment ratio for commercial and industrial property each year. There have been initial concerns expressed by cities and towns regarding impacts to municipal debt limits because of the lowered assessment ratio in HB 2508. frankly, we are still having our finance folks analyze the provisions and impact of SB 1508. We will continue to keep you posted on these bills. However, because of the state budget implications, the outcome of these two bills will not likely be decided until a state budget agreement is reached. would require the same tax incentive to be given to all businesses within a five mile radius of the original business. SB 1201 along with SB 1274: Municipal Sales Tax Incentives; Restrictions were both heard and voted on this week. SB 1201 would impact tax incentives by reducing the amount of shared revenues in an amount equal to the tax incentive. SB 1274 places mandates on the local process for offering tax incentives, also is a direct attack on local control. Both of these bills passed the committee with several amendments. SB1201 which now only applies to Maricopa County was also amended this week to exclude tax incentives given for public infrastructure, historical preservation and for cleanup of Brownfield sites. SB 1274 was amended as well. These amendments require that the status of the incentive be reported every two years to prove that the incentive cost is less than the return within the duration of the agreement and that this incentive cost be pre-verified by an independent third party. It was also amended to require atwo-thirds vote of the governing body and proof that the business would not have otherwise located anywhere within the state before an incentive could be offered. These bills passed Finance unanimously with the exception of the lone no vote on SB 1201 coming from Senator )ay Tibshraeny, who coincidentally is the sponsor of SB 1274. Another related bill, SB 1287, also sponsored by Senator Tibshraeny, which would preempt the use of emergency measures to pass a local tax incentive has passed Rules and is ready for floor debate. The other bills are next headed to Rules and then to the floor for debate. With two councilmembers appearing and testifying in support of these bills and preemption of local authority, we need all the help we can get. Please contact your Senators and remind them that this is a matter of local concern and to vote "no" on these bills. Tax Incentives Preemptions Still Moving Along Senate Bills 1200, 1201 and 1274 are all bad bills aimed at doing away with or at least restricting local control over tax incentives. These bills were all on the agenda for this week's Senate Finance Committee. SB 1200: Municipal Relocation Incentives; Equivalency and SB 1201: Municipal Tax Incentives; Prohibition; Penalty both, in effect, stop tax incentives and are sponsored by Senator Ken Cheuvront. SB 1200, which ended up being held in committee, Legislation to be Considered Next Week that Would Possibly Eliminate Urban Revenue Sharing Right now the League is trying to piece together some ominous clues regarding a possible bill amendment that would appear to impact the income tax portion of state shared revenue. The amendment is listed on next week's LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN February 10, 2005 PAGE 2 Senate Appropriations Committee agenda as Tax Relief; Revenue Sharing; Taxation. Because the official rules in the Senate allow strike-everything amendments to be distributed up until 2 business days prior to the Committee hearing, we will most likely not see the amendment wording until Friday at 5:00 pm. However, we have heard several rumors that the amendment being considered would eliminate urban revenue sharing and replace it with authority for cities and towns to adopt their own income tax. We have also heard the phrase "two-thirds vote" mentioned, but at this point, are not sure whether this means a supermajority vote of your council or citizens. _ We usually would not include such unspecific and unverified information in the Bulletin, however because of the seriousness of the subject being considered, we wanted to let you know right away. This is obviously a huge concern and would have major implications for the funding of vital services in your city or town. We will continue to investigate this situation and will send out information via email as soon as the language is released by the Senate. If it is considered in Senate Appropriations, the meeting date is Tuesday, February 15th at 1:30 pm. Municipal Debt Limits HCR2006, a League Resolution sponsored by Representative John Nelson, was heard in the House Counties, Municipalities and Military Affairs committee this week. The resolution asks voters at the 2006 general election to amend the Constitution allowing municipal debt limitations on public safety and street and transportation projects to be set at 20%. The bill passed the committee with help from Chairman John Nelson by a vote of 9 to 2. We would like to thank Representative Nelson and those members that voted for this important fix. Representatives Trish Groe and Jonathan Paton voted against the bill. If you speak with any of your legislators, please ask for their support on HCR2006: Municipal Debt Expansion. This is only its first committee so it still has a way to go. Photo Radar Bills Get the Green Light in the House and Senate In a disappointing turn of events this week, two pieces of legislation that would limit cities and towns ability to use photo radar passed the House and Senate Transportation Committees after being held last week due to a lack of votes. This week, however, we were quite surprised to see several law enforcement associations testifying in support of these bills in both the Senate and House Committees, including the Fraternal Order of Police, the Arizona Police Association and the Associated Highway Patrolmen. In addition, the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association registered in support of SB 1164. This is surprising, as cities and towns have argued in favor of continuing the current photo radar system because of the role that photo radar plays in helping keep our communities safe. It is confusing why those officers on the front lines would come out against a tool like photo radar. The bill that passed the Senate Transportation Committee is SB 1164, Photo Radar; Freeways, which prevents the State or a local government from using photo radar on freeways. Currently, this bill would stop a proposed pilot project between Scottsdale and the Department of Public Safety on the Loop 101 Freeway, however, this bill is also troubling due to the fact that it would limit any future efforts from cities and towns on this subject. SB 1164 passed the Committee on a 3-2 vote with Senators Marilyn. Jarrett, Rebecca Rios and bill sponsor, Senator Thayer Verschoor voting for the preemption. Thanks to Senators Carolyn Allen and Vic Soltero for their votes against this bill. The bill was only assigned to the Transportation Committee and now moves to the Senate floor after Rules and caucus. The House legislation is HB 2119, which passed with a strike-everything amendment to the original bill. The new version now allows a person who receives a photo radar civil traffic violation to pay their fine off within three weeks and not have any points deducted or insurance company notification up to three times in one year. After the fourth time in a one-year period, insurance company notification and MVD points would begin to accrue. HB 2119 also caps the fine for photo radar civil traffic violations at $50. The bill passed with a 6-3 vote with Representatives Andy Biggs, Pamela Gorman, Russell Jones, Marian McClure, Nancy McClain and John Nelson voting yes. We are thankful to Representatives Amanda Aguirre, Meg Burton Cahill and Tom Prezelski for their "no" votes. The bill must still be heard in the House Judiciary Committee. LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN February 10, 2005 PAGE ~ Forest Health Legislation Advances in House and Senate Legislation relating to forest health passed House and Senate committees this week with strong support from committee members. Both pieces of legislation amend sections of law that were added last year to incentivize businesses to harvest and process forest products. Last year's bill added tax incentives for qualifying forest health businesses for income tax and taxes on business equipment. The goal of this year's bills is to make some pieces of last year's legislation easier for companies to take advantage of, as companies have not yet applied for the tax credits. HB 2276, which is sponsored by Representative Tom O'Halleran, is a product of discussions in the interim by the Governor's Forest Health Council, and makes numerous changes to the tax credits portion. The legislation passed both the House Natural Resources & Agriculture and Ways & Means Committees on Monday unanimously. It is now ready for floor action following Rules and caucus. The House Natural Resources & Agriculture Committee also passed HB 2275, Forest Products; Use Fuel Tax this week. This bill adds incentives for transportation of forest products within Arizona by reducing the fuel tax for qualifying forest health businesses from 26 cents a gallon to 13 cents a gallon. On Wednesday this week, the Senate Natural Resources & Rural Affairs Committee also passed legislation relating to forest health sponsored by Senator Marilyn Jarrett. SB 1337, Forest Health Amendments, also seeks to make changes to the tax incentive portions of last year's legislation, but does not contain all of the same provisions as HB 2276. The Senate legislation requires the Department of Commerce to implement a program to encourage cities, towns and counties to provide local incentives to economic enterprises that promote forest health. It would also require the State Forester to maintain a website for forest health information. HB 2276, also lowers the number of employees that a business would be required to have in order to qualify for forest health credits from 10 to 3. SB 1337 was also amended to include the same fuel tax reduction as HB 2275 during Wednesday's committee hearing. The bill passed the committee unanimously. At this point, it is uncertain how the House and Senate will work out the differences in their forest health bills. Last year, the bills' sponsors, Representatives Tom O'Halleran, Cheryl Chase and Senator Marilyn Jarrett, met and worked on a compromise bill that was eventually passed and signed by the Governor. At this point, it appears that a similar compromise might occur again. The League will be closely watching the forest health bills and will keep you posted on their progress. House Natural Resources & Agriculture Committee Considers a Flood of Water legislation On Monday, the House Natural Resources & Agriculture Committee discussed several bills relating to water. The bills were sponsored by the Committee's chair Representative Tom O'Halleran. The bills that were considered are HB 2169, Land Use Planning; Water Resources, HB 2173, Adequate Water Supply; Notice, HB 2174, Emergency Drought Transfers and HB 2277, Water Providers; Water Plans. HB's 2173, 2174 and 2277 passed the Committee. HB 2173 applies only to regions outside of Active Management Areas (AMA) and would allow a city, town or county to deny approval of a subdivision if the new subdivision does not receive a determination of an adequate water supply from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). It passed by a vote of 5-3 with Representatives John Allen, Jack Brown and Cheryl Chase voting no. HB 2174 passed the Committee unanimously and would allow groundwater to be transported away from a groundwater basin that is outside an AMA for a temporary period under specific emergency circumstances. HB 2277 passed the Committee unanimously with a strike everything amendment that modified provisions of the bill as originally introduced. The new language in HB 2277 would require community water systems to submit a water plan to the ADWR that includes water supply, drought preparedness and water conservation components. All three bills must also be heard in the House Counties, Municipalities & Military Affairs Committee. HB 2169 was the only bill that failed in the Monday Committee hearing. The bill would have required additional information to be included in the water resources element of a general development plan for cities, towns and counties. HB 2169 also required local governments that are in the same groundwater basin or subbasin to share information in order to work towards regional water plan integration. In Committee testimony, there were both concerns and support expressed on behalf of municipalities. The bill failed by a vote of 3-5 LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN February 10, 2005 PAGE~4 with Representatives John Allen, Jack Brown, Cheryl Chase, Lucy Mason and Jerry Weiers voting no. Representatives Ann Kirkpatrick, Russell Jones and Tom O'Halleran voted to support the bill. Because there are cities and towns on both sides of these bills, the League will be monitoring the bills but not taking a position on them. We will continue to update you on their progress. However, if you support the bills or have concerns about their impacts, please make sure to contact your legislators directly on this issue. House Transportation - Committee Puts the Brakes on a Bad Bill Today the House Transportation Committee voted down HB 2538, Public Construction; Business Losses; Compensation. This bill was brought forward by Representative John Allen and if enacted, would have resulted in increased costs for transportation and public works projects. HB 2538 would have allowed a business owner to recover damages for business losses due to public construction activities from cities, towns, counties and the State that reduce business activities if the construction lasts longer than eight months. Fortunately, the House Transportation Committee decided to vote this bill down. The bill failed by a vote of 4-5 with Representatives Amanda Aguirre, Meg Burton Cahill, Russell Jones, John Nelson and Tom Prezelski voting no. Thanks are due to Representatives John Nelson and Tom Prezelski for their comments in support of cities, towns and other government entities' willingness to work with citizens during the construction process and recognizing the importance of transportation and public works projects. Bad Idea On Council Vacancies Senate Bill 1492, Common Council; Cities; Vacancies, is sponsored by Senator Ron Gould and would limit the ability of a general law city or town council to fill a council vacancy. Due to a League Resolution in 2003, we amended state law to include the option of filling the vacancy by appointment until the next election if the , vacancy occurred 30 days before the candidate nomination deadline. Senator Gould's bill mandates that a person be appointed only until the next election. It removes the appointment method that has been in place since 1905 requiring the vacancy to be filled for the remainder of the term. Because of election deadlines, this bill simply does not work. Also, every other level of government in the state fills vacancies through appointments and there is no- reason to single us out and treat us differently. It was killed in the Senate Government committee this week by a vote of 3 to 4. We appreciate the "no" votes from Senators Bill Brotherton, Jake Flake, Albert Hale and Harry Mitchell and we are particularly appreciative of Senator Flake's comments in defense of maintaining local discretion. Let's hope we have seen the last of this bad idea. So Many Bills So Little Time This Monday marked the bill introduction deadline for the House of Representatives and last Monday was the Senate's deadline. This year, a substantial number of bills has been dropped compared to previous sessions. In total there are 726 House bills, which is an all-time record, and 512 Senate bills, the sixth highest total. There are also another 174 resolutions and memorials making the total a staggering 1412 pieces of legislation dropped. The number of bills dropped by the Senate and House this year is second only in quantity to the amount that were dropped in the 2000 session. It is unusual for a new legislature to introduce so many bills. Typically, the number of bills introduced in the first session is less than the second session, as the new members take at least a year to learn the issues before introducing a lot of legislation. It is unknown if this large volume of bills will have an impact on the length of the session this year, but with the budget still lingering, the rest of the session will be busy for everyone. Please continue to check the League website for the summaries of new bills of municipal interest that are posted each week.

The bill was scheduled on the last floor calendar on Thursday after an already full Senate afternoon schedule, which also included other controversial measures such as medical malpractice reform. By the time the Senate got around to the floor calendar that contained SB 1229, it was already late afternoon and the Senate adjourned for the day, delaying floor debate on the cable bill until next week. There are strong indications that there was not a vote on the bill because of the lack of "yes" votes, rather than the time of day. This is very encouraging for our cause, but the delay on voting will give the supporters additional time to garner more votes. As reported in our previous Legislative Bulletins, SB 1229 puts the State in the middle of a relationship which for 30 years has been between the federal government and cities, towns and counties. The Legislature is inserting itself in the middle to give the cable companies a huge break in their fees and not providing any replacement revenue to the local governments which receive those fees. They are doing this in the name of tax equity but if there is an inequity it was not created by the state government and should not be solved there either. Additionally, because the bill has an identical House counterpart, HB 2563, the bills can go to final passage immediately if passed in both chambers. The House bill appears to also be stalled for now as well, but that could change at any moment. Please keep up the pressure on your senators and representatives on SB 1229 and HB 2563. As demonstrated by the delays, we are close, but not there yet. It was a Very Ugly Week at the Capitol Cities and towns had a rough week at the Legislature this week with raids on state shared revenues, major attacks on local authority and even moving toward requiring extraordinary votes on local bond issues. It was an ugly week, a very ugly week, and unfortunately there does not appear to be much of a change in sight. There seems to be an even stronger anti-city sentiment at the Legislature this year. Individual members are mad about a variety of local government actions from tax incentives, to public facility construction, to use of tax dollars for social service programs. The concept and philosophy of local control is clearly under attack. How can we reverse this trend of "get `em" bills? With some members, there is probably no hope of turning them around. With others, perhaps some education about what cities do and how you fund those activities may help. But this level of anti-city sentiment calls for drastic measures and we think active citizen involvement may be the only answer. Do your citizens think that the Legislature should be granting cable companies a huge tax break at the expense of local programs and services? Do they support the idea that the cable companies need protection from you, their locally elected city or town council? If you live in one of the 9 largest cities or towns, do they think their community should be excluded from the benefits of urban revenue sharing while all other cities and towns share in that revenue source? Do they think that the Legislature should be deciding for you what types of programs you should be able to offer your employees or what you should be able to charge schools for impact fees? At least some legislators are not hearing from or listening to their local officials, perhaps you need to share what is happening with your citizens and see if your legislators will listen to - them. -Nine Cities Stand to Lose Shared Income Tax The Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Bob Burns, has decided that after 30 plus years the urban revenue sharing program should be gutted by excluding the eight largest cities and the largest town from the program. Cities and towns now with populations of over 100,000 would no longer receive revenue from this program; cities and towns which reach that population in the future would also be excluded. Seven of the eleven members of his Committee voted with him to pass S. 1115. We testified about the history of urban revenue sharing; it was passed by the voters in 1972 to apply to all the cities and towns in Arizona. We testified about the importance of this revenue, and how it funds the most basic of services to citizens. We testified about the problems of a local income tax which was the suggested replacement revenue. We testified about what was not in the bill -like where the local tax would be imposed on where the person works or where they live. The principal theme of our testimony, however, was why the Legislature would want to discriminate against 62% of the population of the State since that is the percentage that live in the nine cities and towns affected. Even if the city or town does not impose a local income tax, their residents will pay income tax but not get the same benefit from that tax as the taxpayer in a smaller neighboring community. Even the authority to impose a local income tax may affect location decisions -does the State really want to discourage the location of residents and businesses inside the nine cities and towns and others that will grow to that population. The measure is cleverly drafted to combine the cut in revenue sharing with a commensurate cut in state income tax so the "savings" by the state would go to tax relief. The remaining cities and towns would not benefit from the cut to the large jurisdictions. Even if you are not one of the nine cities and towns directly impacted, this bill should concern you. It would be the first major cut in revenue sharing and what they can do today to nine they can do to all in the future. We hope you all will join with us in opposing this bill. Mixed Results on Photo Radar and Other Bad Transportation Bills this Week There were both victories and losses in the Legislature's seemingly endless war on photo radar and traffic safety this week. Starting with the good news first, on the Senate side SB 1328: Photo Enforcement; Process Server Costs was defeated on Tuesday in the Senate Transportation Committee. This bill was similar to HB 2119 and would have prohibited the courts from notifying MVD of a photo enforcement violation if the person admitted responsibility and paid the fine within twenty-one days of receiving notice of the photo enforcement violation. The bill failed on a 2-2 vote with the bill sponsor and Committee Chair, Thayer Verschoor, and Vice Chair, Marilyn Jarrett, voting in favor of the bill. A big thank you to Senators Carolyn Allen and Rebecca Rios for their opposition. Another positive step in the Senate was the postponement on a Senate Transportation Committee vote for SB 1321: Driver Point System; Speed Violations, which decreases the amount of points on a driver's record for speeding violations from three points to one point. The bill was held by Senator Verschoor after extensive testimony against the bill. Senator Verschoor also decided to hold two other bills without any testimony: SB 1324: Speed Limit; Eighty Five Per Cent and SB 1326: Photo Enforcement Contracts. SB 1324 requires the speed limit for all State highways to be set at the speed at which 85% of the vehicles on the highway are traveling and SB 1326 prohibits local governments from entering into photo radar contracts that pay the vendor based on the number of citations issued. We have no reason to doubt that all three of these bills will return next week, so please make sure to speak to the members of the Senate Transportation Committee if any of these bills are a concern to your city or town. Proceeding with the bad news next, photo radar bills in the House passed in two different committees on Thursday. The House Judiciary Committee passed HB 2119: Photo Enforcement; Civil Penalties. As you may remember from last week's Bulletin, HB 2119 allows a person who receives a photo radar civil traffic violation to pay their fine off within three weeks and not have any points deducted or insurance company notification up to three times in one year. After the fourth time in a one-year period, insurance company notification and MVD points would begin to accrue. HB 2119 also caps the fine for photo radar civil traffic violations at $50. The bill passed the House Judiciary Committee by a vote of 5-3. Thanks to Representatives Ted Downing, Steve Gallardo and Ben Miranda for voting no. HB 2119 moves to House Rules and caucus next. At the same time that the House Judiciary Committee was hearing HB 2119, the House Transportation Committee was considering a similar bill, HB 2260: Photo Enforcement Traffic Complaints. This bill has numerous harmful provisions, including establishing that when civil traffic violations are detected by photo enforcement, the State and political subdivisions must demonstrate at a hearing that the defendant was driving the vehicle and the photo enforcement device was in proper working order at the time of the violation. The bill passed the Committee by a vote of 6-3. Thanks to Representatives Amanda Aguirre, Meg Burton Cahill and Tom Prezelski for voting no. HB 2260 must still be heard in the House Judiciary Committee. Thanks are due to Paradise Valley Councilmember Virginia Simpson and the numerous law enforcement officials who took the time to come to the Capitol twice this week to testify in opposition to the bills. LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN February 18, 2005 PAGE 2 Anti-tnclusionary Zoning Bill Passes Senate Government The Senate Government Committee considered and passed an anti-inclusionary zoning bill on Thursday that directly contradicts the efforts of the League's fair housing resolution SB 1477: Local Planning; Residences; Fee Prohibition forbids a county, municipality or special taxing district from requiring that certain housing be designated for sale to a specific class of purchasers. Despite testimony from Flagstaff and Coconino County officials that this legislation would negatively impact efforts established through their general planning process to provide affordable housing, the bill passed the Committee on a 4-3 vote. Thanks to Senators Bill Brotherton, Albert Hale and Harry Mitchell for voting "no." A big thank you to Flagstaff Councilmember Kara Kelty for making the trip to the Capitol to testify against this legislation. The bill moves next to Senate Rules and caucus. Liquor Bill Gets Amended, Passed This week, the Senate Government Committee considered SB 1413, Liquor Licenses; Ownership; Local Agreements, which is the result of a League resolution and is sponsored by Senator John Huppenthal. The original language of the bill would have empowered cities and towns to enforce prelicense agreements that they may enter with an applicant regarding the operations. The bill also includes measures to crack down on hidden ownership of liquor establishments to prevent unsuitable individuals from controlling a liquor I icense. As a result of contentious stakeholder meetings, the bill was significantly scaled back to the version that passed the Senate Government Committee, which only retains the hidden ownership provisions. That was the only language that could be agreed to by the liquor industry and the Liquor Department. We thank Senator John Huppenthal for getting everyone to the table and hope that the discussions will continue regarding problem liquor establishments. League Resolution Passes Senate Judiciary Committee On Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved SB 1488: Persons Lawfully Detained; Identification Requirement. This bill is a part of the 2005 Municipal Policy Statement and is being supported in conjunction with the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police. SB 1488 requires a person who has been lawfully detained on suspicion that the person has committed or will commit a crime to state his or her true full name. If the person does not supply his or her name, the bill makes the person guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor. SB 1488 passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 5-3 with Senators Bill Brotherton, Ron Gould and Richard Miranda voting no. Thanks to Senator Jay Tibshraeny for his sponsorship and support of the bill and to Senators Linda Aguirre, Jack Harper, Marilyn Jarrett, Dean Martin and John Huppenthal for their "yes" votes in committee. The bill was amended by Senator Bill Brotherton, which added three new provisions as follows: a person that must identify him or herself cannot be compelled to answer any other inquiries, a person can refuse to identify him or herself if providing their name would be self-incriminating and law enforcement must advise suspects that refusing to identify themselves is unlawful. The bill was single-assigned to the Judiciary Committee, so it moves next to Rules and caucus. Anti-Annexation Bill Moves Forward in the House While several bills have been introduced attacking local land use authority, there has been relatively little movement on the bills to date. However, HB2131, County Islands; Annexation, Property Rights, sponsored by Representative Andy Biggs did clear its first voting hurdle this week with a narrow 6-5 vote in favor of passage by the House Counties, Municipalities & Military Affairs Committee. As originally drafted, the bill would have preempted municipalities from requiring connections to public sewer systems or changing land use regulations on lands annexed from county islands. The bill made no distinction on whether the lands were developed or undeveloped and made the preemptions permanent regardless of any future ownership changes. The bill was amended in committee to limit the preemption to residential lots of 15,000 square feet or greater and to provide greater discretion regarding public sewer requirements. The bill had been scheduled for a hearing back in January but was held likely due to a lack of votes. The amendment, sponsored by Representative John Nelson, was apparently enough to get the bill successfully out of committee. The yes votes came from Representatives Ted Carpenter, Trish Groe, Russ Jones, John Nelson, Jonathan Paton and Jerry Weiers. Voting to protect local control were Representatives Manny Alvarez, Cheryl Chase, Pete Hershberger, Tom Prezelski and Albert Tom. Special thanks to Reps Hershberger and Prezelski for their strong arguments and pointed questioning of the bill sponsor during the testimony. The amendment scales down the impact of the bill but is still a local preemption. Annexation policy should be moving in the direction of enhancing efforts to annex urbanized areas, not the opposite way. The bill has also been assigned to the House Federal Mandates and Property Rights Committee where it has not been scheduled for a hearing yet. We will keep you updated on any further movement. LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN February 18, 2005 PAGE 3 Senators Kill Supermajority Vote Bill for the Second Year i n a Row In a repeat of last year, the Senate voted down SCR 1010: Enabling Local Taxes; Supermajority Vote on Thursday. This legislation would have placed a measure on the 2006 ballot to amend the Arizona Constitution to require legislative approval by a Supermajority for any legislative act that allows a city, town or other local government to impose a tax or increase tax revenue. Senator Dean Martin introduced the bill both times, let's hope that two failures on this bill is enough. - While there would be few instances where this bill would actually impact cities and towns, we are glad it got voted down because it needlessly interfered with local governments. The bill would have made it much more difficult to get "permission" from the Legislature to put tax issues to a local vote such as the Maricopa and Pima county transportation sales tax questions. Thanks to Senators Carolyn Allen, Jorge Garcia, Harry Mitchell and Victor Soltero for speaking in favor of local governments and against this bill. As always, we are grateful for their support. The bill failed by a 10-16 vote. 5% Is the New 2% for the PSPRS A bill to increase the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) employer contribution rate from the current 2% to a 5% passed the Senate floor Finance Committee this week by a vote of 7-1. The effect of this bill, 561366, is that a city or town can never contribute less than 5%, even when it is actuarially sound to do so. Those cities and towns that are currently paying less than 5% will now pay more than their share and the net increase in the PSPRS fund will continue regardless of how robust the fund may grow. Although the bill's sponsor, Senator Dean Martin, amended the bill to prohibit the over funded amount from being used for additional benefits, this restriction could easily be stripped in the future. Please contact your Senators and ask them to kill SB 1366: Minimum Employer Retirement Contribution Limits. LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN February 18, 2005 PAGE 4 PIMA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS 177 N.
