Bronson, Town Clerk SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-49: Relating to Animal Control; approving Amendment No. 02 of the Intergovernmental Agreement with Pima Animal Care Center for the provision of animal control services within the Town of Marana DISCUSSION The Town of Marana and Pima County have an on-going intergovernmental agreement for the provision of animal control services by Pima County within the town limits of Marana. All violations of the Town Code are cited into the Marana Municipal Court and prosecuted by the Town's legal department. The Town retains all fines imposed in those cases. Pima County Animal Control collects license and kennel fees for animals within Marana and applies those fees to the cost to the Town for animal control services. The original contract allowed for a debt exceeding $10,000 to be carried forward to future years. Due to a potential funding deficit in the future, Pima County is requiring modification of the financing provisions to account for and reconcile all receipts and expenses each fiscal year beginning in FY 2005-06. To accomplish this, if the Town disbursement exceeds the annual Town receipts, the Town will deposit funds sufficient to cover the Town deficit in the Pima County Rabies Control Fund within 30 days after official request for funds. Should there be a Town surplus in the Rabies Control Fund, such surplus will be refunded to the Town. This procedure shall be followed for each year during the term of the Agreement beginning with FY from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council direct staff to enter into Amendment No. 02 ofthe Intergovernmental Agreement for Animal Control Services, renewing the existing agreement as amended until June 30, 2006.

A. 5 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-52: Relating to Real Estate; authorizing the acquisition by negotiation or condemnation of lands and property rights needed for project no. 99-076, Cortaro Farms Road, Union Pacific Railroad to Star Grass Drive; and declaring an emergency. DISCUSSION Construction of the Cortaro Farms Road and Hartman Lane intersection improvements are underway. That portion of Cortaro Farms Road between Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to Star Grass Drive will be improved as Phase II with the proposed construction schedule to begin in the summer of 2005. As a part of this effort the Town must acquire additional rights-of-way, slope easements, drainage easements, temporary construction easements and other property rights as delineated within the plans titled Cortaro Farms Road, Union Pacific Railroad to Star Grass Drive, Town of Marana Project #99-076 (Pima County W.O. No. 4TCFIT, Revised). The Town has retained Baker, Peterson, Baker & Associates, Inc. to appraise and Tierra Right- of- Way Services to negotiate the purchase of the needed lands and property rights. Offers to purchase have been made to Ms. Mollie 1. Brown, the Jay R. and Jackie L. Fuller Revocable Trust, the Lane D. & Beatrice P. Justus Living Trust, RMLS-Cortaro/Nogales, LLC, and the William Thomas and Sandra D. Elliott Living Trust. Staff is continuing negotiations with Cortaro Ranch Community Association, First American Title, Qwest Communications, and Cortaro- Marana Irrigation District. If the offers are not accepted and further negotiations are not completed by May 27, 2005, the Town will likely need to file condemnation cases to obtain possession of the properties to allow Cortaro Farms Road to be constructed within the proposed schedule. Staff and all consultants will do their best to acquire or at least obtain right of entry for the property rights needed. However, it is in the Town's best interest to obtain authority from Mayor and Council to file condemnation cases to acquire the lands and property rights needed for the Cortaro Farms Road project if agreements cannot be reached. {00000699.DOC /} Resolution 2005-52 (Cortaro Farms Road) 4/26/2005 12:26 MMF:HTG FJC Page 1 of2 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2005-52, authorizing acquisition by negotiation or condemnation of lands and property rights needed for project no. 99-076, Cortaro Farms Road, Union Pacific Railroad to Star Grass Drive; and declaring an emergency SUGGESTED MOTION I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-52. {00000699.DOC /} Resolution 2005-52 (Cortaro Farms Road) 4/26/200512:26 MMF:HTG FJC Page 2 of2 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION MEETING DATE: May 3,2005 TOWN OF MARANA AGENDA ITEM: IX.
