Executive Summary
For over eight months staff has been working toward a solution that will enable the Clerk's
Department to increase productivity to meet the volume of material being prepared for
Council review yet maintain the current staffing level. Moving toward a completely
electronic agenda management software system was the outcome from this research.
Why Electronic Agenda Software?
All staff is being tasked with creating more Council agendas. This requires more staff
time and resources as well as a faster agenda turn-around time. This has rendered the
current system of agenda preparation inadequate and subject to increased error.
Staff recognizes failures in the current system and believe that the implementation of an
electronic agenda software management system will mitigate many of the problems and
offers a review process throughout the agenda development and preparation process that
is more efficient and effective.
Agenda development process overview
In the initial phases, staff looked at the following:
1. The frequency of council meetings per month and year
2. Current deadlines of item submission for an agenda
3. Staffing time needed to prepare an agenda
4. Turn around time required for distribution of agenda
5. Council's request for more time to review agendas
6. Error margin as a result of little or no review time
7. The benefits and risks of going to an all electronic system
8. Cost to prepare and distribute an agenda
The project was sent out for bid through the Town's procurement process and
NovuSolutions was selected as the best vendor with their product NovusAGENDA.
Key contributors to the agenda creation process then gathered with the project
coordinator and NovuSolutions design team to customize the software to make it more
user and public-friendly. During the process key staff also eliminated glitches and
duplicates contained within the old system.
About the product
NovusAGENDA is a web based software solution designed to create an automated
paperless agenda process that allows for centralized storage of agenda documents by
allowing users to create, approve, and track items for meetings electronically.
Expectations
NovusAGENDA will allow changes, corrections and additions to agenda items to be done
electronically without paper. This will help eliminate situations when people are out of the
office or may have misplaced items that are being circulated to several staff. Built into the
software are submission deadlines for agenda items. This will allow for a more thorough
review of the agenda packet before. and after it gets to the Clerk's office. This will hold
staff accountable for the items they are responsible for preparing. In turn Council will
receive materials more quickly and with fewer amendments. Additionally, Council can
choose to receive a paper packet, a packet on CD or access the agenda packet online.
A feature of NovusAGENDA is Boardview. Boardview is for Council members use only
and allows members to prepare before meetings. Council members can make private
comments, viewable only by them and can research prior agenda materials if necessary.
A module of the software currently in the design phase will allow the agendas to be
"dropped" into the current electronic data management system (Laserfiche) without
having to manually scan the documents as we are doing now. When available, that
module will be provided at no or nominal charge to us.
Benefits
• Reduced cost of paper use and printing
• Council members will have more time to review packets
• Document preparation and review process becomes more efficient
• Council members can receive paper packets, packets on CD, or access packet on
Internet/Intranet
• Storage of documents in one secure place with full data backup and built-in
minutes feature
• Automatic publication of agendas, actions, and minutes to website
• Customized workflow from start to finish
• Electronic notification to .keep items moving forward
• Boardview for Council member use
• Public can access agenda in PDF or HTML format -much easier to read and
follow
Training and. Timelines
• Final customizations completed by July 31
• Training of staff and Council during August and September
• Live test of software for September 16, October 7 and October 21 meetings
• Full integration no later than December

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TOWN OF MARANA 9 r~ARnr,n ;
INFORMATION
gRt1 VvP
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: I. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-97: Relating to Development; approving and
authorizing a final plat for Marana 59, Lots 1-58 and Common
Areas "A" (Open Space/Drainage) and "B" (Natural Undisturbed
Open Space).
DISCUSSION
History and Request
The applicant is requesting approval of a final plat fora 58-lot single-family home subdivision,
comprising Lots 1-58 and Common Areas `A' (Open Space/Drainage) and `B' (Natural Undisturbed
Open Space) on approximately 58.8 acres.
On July 30, 2008, the Planning Commission will consider an appeal by the applicant requesting relief
from the requirements of Section 06.03.02.E (Improvement Requirements) of the Town of Marana
Land Development Code. This section would require the existing electrical transmission .lines along
Hartman Lane, adjacent to this proposed development, to be located underground at the developer's
expense. Given that the Planning Commission meeting had not yet taken place at the time this report
was prepared for the Town Council, action taken by the Commission will be provided to the .Town
Council during the presentation by staff on August 5, 2008.
On July 19, 1994, the Town Council approved Ordinance 94.09 authorizing a rezoning of 100. acres
(inclusive of the 58.8 acres of this application) of land near Hartman Lane and Overton Road from
Zone `C' to R-8 Residential subject to six conditions and adherence to a tentative development plan.
The Town Council subsequently unanimously approved Resolution 2006-32 on February 21, 2006
modifying the previously approved Ordinance by eliminating two of the conditions and allowing a
'reconfiguration of the proposed lots and adjustment of the open space areas.
The preliminary plat was approved by Resolution 2007-124 by the Town Council on July 10, 2007
by a vote of 4-2, with Council Members Clanagan and Escobedo opposing.
Location
The subject property is generally located on the west side of Hartman Lane approximately one-half
mile south of Linda Vista Blvd.
Zoning
The applicant is requesting final plat approval fora 58-lot single-family residential subdivision,
comprising Lots 1-58 and Common Areas `A' (Open Space/Drainage) and `B' (Natural Undisturbed
Open Space). The proposed Marana 59 subdivision contains a gross area of 58.8 acres, and proposes
-1-
080508 PRV-06088F Marana 59 FP TC
58 single-family lots ranging in size from 8,015 square feet (Lot 3) to 13,040 square feet (Lot 36).
The average lot size proposed is 9,012 square feet. Current zoning of the property is R-8 (8,000
square foot minimum lot size). Approximately 8.3 acres will be utilized for drainage and open space
(Common Area `A'), and roughly 33.8 acres is designated as natural undisturbed open space
(Common Area `B'). All residential units will be subject to the Town of Marana residential design
standards. Pursuant to the rezoning ordinance, the development must adhere to the town's Native
Plant Ordinance. The appropriate plan shall be approved by the Planning Department prior to the
issuance of grading permits for this project.
Transportation and Utilities
The project proposes one point of ingress/egress off of Hartman lane. The Planning Commission
approved a design exception for the single-point access at the Apri125, 2007 meeting. As a condition
of approval of the Design Exception, Northwest Fire has required that all residences are provided
with a 3/ -inch water meter and are fire sprinklered. The appropriate notes have been included on the
plat. The internal circulation will consist of 0.7 miles of new public streets.
During the review process for the Preliminary Plat, concerns were raised by neighboring property
owners regarding the traffic conditions on Hartman Lane and potential impacts of -this proposed
development. In response to these .concerns, staff contracted with the engineering firm PSOMAS to
conduct an independent study of the segment of Hartman Lane from its southern intersection with
Eaglestone Loop north to Whipsnake Way. The study revealed that no off-site improvements (right
or left-turn lanes) were numerically warranted by the project. Although such improvements are not
required by the Town, the developer has offered. to provide alert-turn lane improvement on
northbound Hartman Lane into the Marana 59 development in order to alleviate concern about the
traffic safety in that area.
The proposed subdivision will be served by Marana Municipal Water, and all lots will be connected
to the public sewer system.
Parks/Impact Fees
.The developer is not required to provide any improved on-site recreation areas, as the proposed
density is less than three dwelling units per gross acre. The development proposes approximately 34
acres of natural undisturbed open space, and is subject to the adopted park impact fee and south
transportation impact fee to be assessed at the time of issuance of each building permit.
ATTACHMENTS
Application; location map; and reduction of final plat.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the application for compliance with Ordinance 94.09, Resolution 2006-32,
Resolution 2007-124, the Marana Land .Development Code, and the Marana General Plan. The
proposed final plat is in substantial conformance with all required development regulations and the
approved Design Exception. Staff recommends approval of the final plat for Marana 59.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve Resolution No. 2008-97.

INFORMATION
gk1ZONP
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: I.3
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: T. VanHook, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-99: Relating to Parks and Recreation;
approving and authorizing full execution of grant agreement
#CCG 08-006 with the Arizona State Forestry Division for funding
under the Community Challenge Grant program to support
activities related to the Marana Tree Inventory.
DISCUSSION
The Arizona State Forestry Department has granted the Town of Marana $12,000 through the
Urban Forest/Community Challenge Grant Program to support Marana's tree inventory. The
grant requires matching funds equaling the grant amount. Funds from the Parks and Recreation
regular maintenance budget are programmed, in part, for the tree inventory and will meet the
required match. In addition, volunteer hours used to support the inventory will count as match
allowing Marana's contribution to the project to far exceed the requirements outlined in the
agreement.
The Town of Marana is designing a comprehensive tree management strategy. The goals of the
strategy are: (1) the adoption of a proactive tree ordinance; (2) identification of funding for urban
forest management; (3) creation of a citizen tree advisory board, (4) the implementation of a tree
management plan; and (5) implementation of a public education program.
In order to meet the goals established in the comprehensive tree management strategy,. the Town
will complete a tree inventory to assess our urban forest resources to develop a clear picture of
the assets and needs of the community and establish a base line for evaluation. The inventory
will include a comprehensive catalogue of trees in developed public spaces and rights of way. A
professionally designed inventory instrument will be created in collaboration Marana's Parks and
Recreation and Planning Departments and designed to suit the unique needs of the community.
The inventory will provide information on the species, location, approximate age, health and
condition, and irrigation information. Missing trees and planting opportunities will also be noted
as part of the inventory.
Field inventories will be checked against satellite imagery available from the G.I.S. Division, as
well as field follow-up verified by the consultant. Once the inventory is collected, the consultant
will work with the Town of Marana's G.I.S. Division to produce maps and tables to be included
in the final document.
7/29/2008
Inventory data will be compiled in an ArcView data base associated as a layer on the Towns
G.I.S. mapping service. Data input and G.I.S. coordination will be the charge of Parks and
Recreation office support personnel
The finished Tree Inventory Project product will be a digital inventory accessible by Town staff
through the Town's computer system. Information will also be available to land planners,..
developers, and contractors or service providers working in the Town of Marana or having
contact with the public portion of the Marana urban forest.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving and authorizing full execution of the grant agreement with Arizona
State Forestry Division.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve Resolution No. 2008-99.

MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: L 4
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: T. VanHook, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-100: Relating to Community Development;
granting $5,000 in discretionary funding to the Community Food
Bank, Inc., an Arizona 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to
support Marana Food Bank programs for Marana senior citizens,
youth, and families.
DISCUSSION
The Marana Food Bank (MFB) has been in operation since 1977 serving individuals and families
in need of food. A large number of low income Marana families receive monthly food boxes to
meet supplement basic nutritional needs. MFB's mission is to "meet the needs of the hungry in
the town of Marana".
The MFB offers two programs serving Marana, Emergency Food Boxes and Food Plus.
Emergency Food Boxes are provided on a walk-in or referral basis. Food Plus is a monthly high-
nutrition food box program serving postpartum mothers, children ages 1-6, and seniors.
Most of MFB's clients live close to poverty level. As fuel and food costs rise and wages
stagnate, the need for supplemental food boxes has. risen. Over the last year food distribution has
increased from 14,251 boxes (May 31, 2007) to 24,121 (May 31, 2008). The total number of
unduplicated persons served during FY 08-09 was 4,865, up more. than 1,200 from the previous
year.
Funding is being requested to support transporting food to and from .the MFB for acquisition and
distribution to the Marana community.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends granting $5,000 in Discretionary Funding to the Marana Food Bank to support
the Emergency Food Box and the Food Plus programs in providing food for Marana families.

MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: L 6
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2008.16: Relating to Administration; amending
Title 1 ("General") of the Marana Town Code to authorize the
Town Attorney and Town Clerk to correct certain scrivener's er-
rors in the Town Code and ordinances and resolutions adopted by
the Town Council; adding Section 1-4-5; and designating an effec-
tive date.
DISCUSSION
This item is proposed in order to authorize the Town Clerk or the Town Attorney to make certain
types of clerical corrections to ordinances and resolutions without the need for the original ordi-
nance or resolution to be returned to the Town Council for action. Under this proposed ordi-
nance, when the Town Clerk or Town Attorney exercises the authority granted by this ordinance,
a scrivener's notation would be made on the corrected ordinance or resolution, or in the case of
the Town Code, within the Town Code itself, identifying the nature of the correction.
A recent example of the proposed use of this authority is in the adoption of Marana Ordinance
No. 2008.08, which added a new Section 12-2-12 relating to speed limits and areas undergoing
roadway construction. When that Section was added, a penalty provision found later in the same
chapter of the Town Code was renumbered, and across-reference to the new penalty provision in
Section 12-2-15, paragraph C, was then inadvertently missed. This new scrivener's error author-
ity would authorize the Town Clerk or the Town Attorney to correct the cross-referencing error
that was inadvertently missed by Ordinance No. 2008.08 without having to take a new ordinance
back to the Town Council for adoption.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2008.16, authorizing the Town Clerk or the Town
Attorney to make scrivener's errors. corrections.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jane Fairall, Deputy Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2008.17: Relating to Animal Control; amending
Title 6 sections 6-2-8, 6-2-9 and 6-2-12 of the Marana Town Code
to establish new dog licensing fees, delinquency penalties, license
transfer fees and duplicate tag fees; and designating an effective
date.
DISCUSSION
The Town of Marana has an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Pima County for the pro-
vision of animal control services within the Town limits and the enforcement of the Marana
Town Code Animal Control provisions (Title 6). As a part of this IGA, Pima County Animal
Control collects license fees for animals within the Town and applies those fees to the County's
actual costs to provide animal control services for the Town. Recently, the. Town Manager re-
ceived aletter from the Pima Animal Care Center (copy attached), requesting that the Town
adopt new fees for dog licenses, delinquent penalties, duplicate tags and license transfers. The
Pima County Board of Supervisors adopted these new fees for animals within the County effec-
tive August 1, 2008.
The proposed fee hikes are modest. Most of the fees would only be raised. by $1.00. The biggest
increase is for licensing of unaltered and vicious dogs. Each of these fees would increase by
$5.00.

Closing the Gap• Proposal to Raise Fees Associated with Licensing Dogs
Two mechanisms remain to reduce jurisdictional subsidy include:
• Continue controlling expense without compromising public, staff or annnal safety
• Raise fees
To identify how to close the gap between PACC's expense and revenue, the current fee structure was reviewed. Of all fees charged

MEETING TOWN OF MARANA q MARANA ~
INFORMATION
gk1ZON1`
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: J. 3. a.
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: John A. Huntley, Building Official
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2008.18: Relating to Building; adopting by
reference the 2008 Marana Outdoor Lighting Code; amending
Marana Town Code Section 7-1-2; repealing Title 18 of the
Marana Land Development Code; and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
This item was presented to Council on June 17, 2008.
The greater Tucson region of Southern Arizona is considered a premier location for astronomical
observation and enjoyment of the dark desert night sky. There are several astronomical
observation locations within our region, including Kitt Peak, Mount Hopkins and the Catalina
Mountains. Protection of our unique desert environment with its dark night sky, as well as
minimization of wasted energy through adoption of a comprehensive outdoor lighting code is a
high priority within this region, and for the Town of Marana.
All governmental jurisdictions within the greater Tucson region have adopted outdoor lighting
codes. Over time, these codes have been modified, improved and altered to address issues related
to an ever-changing outdoor lighting industry as well as outdoor lighting technological advances.
.The existing Town of Marana Outdoor Lighting Code was adopted in 2003 and revised in
December of 2004. The time has come to update this existing code to include provisions
addressing the need for appropriate commercial and residential landscape lighting, the
illumination of outdoor display lots, as well as changes in the sign lighting requirements to
reflect new industry standards.
It is the intent of this code to control the obtrusive aspects of excessive and careless lighting
while preserving, protecting and enhancing the lawful nighttime use and enjoyment of both
commercial and residential properties. Nighttime safety has been considered during the decision
making process for every code provision.
This newly updated version of the Town of Marana Outdoor Lighting Code incorporates .well
vetted and established requirements, similar to those found within the lighting codes of other
jurisdictions, and is designed in the standard international code forma. The new format is far
easier to read and interpret; and represents a substantial benefit to designers, engineers, plan
reviewers and field inspectors. This thoroughly modern, inclusive and user-friendly code will
support environmentally sustainable, safe and enjoyable- commercial and residential outdoor
lighting within the Town for years to come.
{00010345.DOC/2}
The current code exists as Title 18 of the Town's Land Development Code and is also adopted
by reference in Chapter 7-1 of the Marana Town Code, which contains the Town's building.
codes. Analysis of tihe enforcement, approval and interpretation components of the outdoor
lighting code seem to indicate that it is better suited to exist as a part of the Town's building
codes. Thus, it is proposed that the Land Development Code should be amended, repealing
Title 18.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the proposed code revisions.

SECTION 401
TOTAL OUTDOOR LIGHT OUTPUT
401.1 Calculation of total outdoor light output for property. Total outdoor light output shall not exceed the
lumen limits given in Table 401.1. In the table, "total" means the sum of emitted light on the site. For
determining compliance with this code, the total lumens shall be the sum of the following:
1. One hundred percent of the lumens from outdoor full cutoff and shielded (not .full cutoff) fixtures
installed on grade, on poles, and installed on the top or sides of buildings or other structures, when not
shielded from above by the structure.
2. One hundred percent of the lumens from externally illuminated signs.
3. Fifty percent of the lumens from underwater light fixtures unless the fixture is aimed at an angle of less
.than 45 degreed above the horizontal, in which case the lumens shall be calculated at 10 percent of the
total lumen output.
4. Twenty percent of full cutoff fixtures installed under canopies, building overhangs or roof eaves.
5. Zeropercent offull cutoff light fixtures installed under canopies, building overhangs, or roof eaves in
such a manner that no lamp or vertical element of a lens or diffuser is visible at the property line.
6. Zero percent of internally illuminated and LED signs, and lights illuminating a US flag when shining
downward.
• 401.2 Calculation of total light output for fixture lamps.. The total amount of light, measured in lumens, is
limited to a value per net acre of the site. The output from all outdoor light fixture lamps shall be determined as
follows:
1. For lamp types that vary in light output as they age (such as fluorescent or high intensity discharge
lamps) the mean lumen output, as defined by the lamp manufacturer, shall be the lumen value used. For
lamps not listed with mean lumens, the initial rating shall be used.
2. The light output for each outdoor light fixture shall be based on the largest lamp that the outdoor light
fixture is rated to accommodate.. Furthermore, the largest lamp rating for. fluorescent and high intensity
discharge fixtures shall be .based on the installed ballast rating.

gRILU~ P
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: J. 4
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Deb Thalasitis, Assistant Town Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2008.19: Relating to Administration; adding the
positions of General Manager, Assistant Chief of Police and Police
Commander to the Town's unclassified service; creating two
additional categories of employment; amending Town Code
Sections 3-1-2, 3-1-3 and 3-1-4; adding new Town Code Sections
3-2-11, 3-2-12 and 3-2-13; and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
As part of the compensation and classification study, the Town Manager's Office has undertaken
a review of the Personnel Policies and Procedures related to compensation and the Town Code.
This agenda item recommends several changes to Chapter 3-1 of the Town. Code, including
amendment of the list of at-will positions .and the addition of two new classifications of
employment: term-limited temporary and short-term temporary.
Sections 3-1-2 and 3-1-3 of the Town Code list positions in the Town that are considered
unclassified and at-will. Employees in these positions serve at the pleasure of the Town
Manager or his/her designee and have no term of office. Staff is recommending the following
changes to the list of at-will positions:
Add the position of General Manager
Add the position of Assistant Chief of Police
Add the position of Police Commander
The General Manager position. is proposed as part of the reorganization presented by Town
Manager Gilbert Davidson at the July 15, 2008 Council meeting. General Managers would serve
at the pleasure of the Town Manager, Deputy Town Manager or Assistant Town Manager. The
incumbents will be responsible for coordinating and managing all related activities of a group of
departments. If approved, the current plan is to reallocate the Deputy Town Manager and Public
Works Director positions to General Manager positions that will separately oversee two key
service areas. The General Manager -Development Services will oversee and coordinate the
Building, Engineering and Planning Departments and the Permits and Records Center. The
General Manager -Public Services will oversee and coordinate the Airport, CIP, Operations and
Maintenance and Utilities Departments. A key role of the General. Manager position is to
provide a single point of contact for negotiation of agreements, large project management and
execution, resolution of issues and questions that arise in the course of development activities
{ooorozv7.DOC/2} 07/28/2008 JF
I~ and to assure seamless coordination between and among the various development-related or
public works services and departments within the Town.
The Assistant Chief of Police position was intended to be included on this list upon its creation;
however, due to an oversight, the position was never added to this list. This item would correct
that oversight. The Assistant Chief of Police is appointed by the Chief of Police and would serve
at the pleasure of the Chief of Police.
The Police Commander position, if approved, is a new classification available for use in the
police department. No additional positions are being requested at this time, but a Lieutenant's
position will be converted to this classification once a successful candidate is appointed by the
Chief of Police. This position serves at the pleasure of the Chief of Police. The Police
Commander commands a major segment or function of the Police Department. Responsibilities
include planning, supervising, coordinating and evaluating the work of assigned personnel within
an operational or support function. Supervision is exercised over a staff of sworn and/or civilian
personnel primarily through subordinate supervisors. The position performs highly complex
administrative duties, and related duties as required. The position serves as the Chief of Police in
the absence of the Chief and Assistant Chief and represents the Chief to the public and other law
enforcement agencies. The current plan is to leave the Assistant Chief position vacant with the
creation and staffing of the Police Commander position. Funds from the Assistant Chief's
position are being used to temporarily augment the workforce with an individual who is working
on special and term-limited projects for the department.
Staff is also recommending the addition of two new categories of employment in the Town.
Currently Section 3-1-3 of the Town Code lists two categories of employment: classified service
and unclassified service. Staff recommends that the categories of "term-limited temporary
employment" and "short-term temporary employment" be added to Section 3-1-3.
A term-limited temporary employee is an individual who is employed in a temporary position for
more than six months, but no longer than 36 months from the hire date. Employees in term-
limited temporary positions are eligible for health and welfare benefits (vacation, sick. leave,
..personal holidays, retirement and medical, dental and other insurances), but serve at the will of
the appointing authority and are not part of the Town's classified service. They do not have
access to the personnel action review board procedures and are not subject to other provisions of
the Town's Personnel Policies and Procedures except where specifically stated. Term-limited
temporary employees may perform work related to a grant, capital improvement project,
information systems technology project, executive fellowship program or other non-routine,
substantial body of work that exceeds six months. The Town Manager will be responsible for
approval ofterm-limited temporary employment.
At this time, the Town Manager's Office intends to use the term-limited classification, if
approved, to establish an 18-month Executive Fellow position. Internship funds already
approved will be used to fund one Executive Fellow position in the Town Manager's Office.
This position will offer an in-depth work experience for a recent graduate of a graduate school
level Public or Business Administration program from an accredited college or university. The
incumbent will be assigned work on special projects important to the Town and will have the
opportunity to work closely with senior management and department directors who will serve as
{0oo1o2v7.DOCi2} -2- 07/28/2008 JF
mentors. The selected individual .gets valuable professional experience, .while the Town is able
to get important work completed in acost-effective manner, with more continuity than using
multiple interns. This is one example of how the term-limited classification might be used by the
Town.
The other proposed new classification of employment is short-term temporary employment.
This classification would include seasonal employees and other short-term employees needed for
a limited period of time to fill staffing needs.. Short-term temporary employees would be at-will
employees, would not receive the compensation and benefits of classified employees and would
not have recourse to the Town's personnel action review board procedures.. "Short-term" is
defined as no more than six months or 1040 hours in a rolling 12-month period.
ATTACHMENTS
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no financial impacts. Funds and positions already approved in the FY 2008-2009
budget will be reallocated to achieve these position changes.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2008.19, amending the Town Code to add new
positions to the list of at-will, unclassified employees and to create two new categories of Town
employment.

I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2008.19.

MEETING TOWN OF MARANA 9 n~aa,ar,A ;
INFORMATION '~
gti'IZ(iyP
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: J. 5
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Deb Thalasitis, Assistant Town Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution 2008-104: Relating to Personnel; approving a salary
schedule for classified employees and an action plan for
implementation of the classification and compensation study and
fiscal year 2008-09 performance management program; and
declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
The Town of Marana has completed the classification and compensation study authorized by the
Town Council in January, 2008. Following a competitive bid process, the Town engaged the
consultant, Milliman, to conduct the study, the results of which are discussed here. This
communication requests Council approval for the classified employee salary schedule and action
plan for implementing the study results along with the FY 2008-09 pay for performance program
with an effective date of September 13, 2008 (the first full pay period in September). Any
changes to employee pay will- appear on the October 3, 2008 pay check.
Market Survey Results
In accordance with Council direction, the market for classified positions included communities
of similar size, along with several specialty agencies for certain positions, such as those related
to water and utilities. The market also included data from 12 published survey sources. The
following entities responded to the custom survey conducted by Milliman.
Cities and Towns Specialty A _ eg ncies
Town of Buckeye Marana Unified School District
City of Bullhead City Tucson Unified School District
City of Casa Grande Tucson Water (via City of Tucson)
City of El Mirage
City of Goodyear Counties
Town of Oro Valley Pima County
Town of Queen Creek Cochise County
City of Sierra Vista
City of Avondale
Town of Sahuarita
City of Tucson
{00010336.DOC/2j. 07/29/2008
The Milliman study compared market information for 131 of the 141 classified positions
included in the study. Milliman concluded that the cash compensation paid to employees at the
Town of Marana is at or above the 25th percentile on average. This is driven by 72 percent of the
Town's classified employees whose actual pay rate (cash compensation) is below the 50th
percentile of the market. When factoring in the Town's benefits package, the Town's market
position with regard to "total compensation" (salary and benefits) improves considerably and is
an advantage when recruiting talent from the private sector. The benefit largely responsible for
this improvement is the Town's participation in the Arizona State Retirement System. Because
this or a similar retirement benefit is offered by other public employers, the adjustments
recommended to the salary schedule and recommended actions for implementation will allow
cash compensation to remain competitive with other public employers for the Town's higher
performing employees.
Classified Employee Pav Schedule
Milliman has recommended a salary schedule based on the market information obtained during
the study. The salary schedule was developed by taking the jobs with similar market values at
the low end, and establishing the midpoint of the lowest, or first salary grade. The first grade is
labeled "Grade 10." The midpoint is exactly the middle of the salary range. Subsequent
(higher) salary grades were added by increasing the mid-point by 10 percent. A total of 17
grades were required to place all of the 141 classified jobs in the salary schedule. Once the
grades were established, jobs were placed in a particular grade based on the job's actual market
value relative to the midpoint of the grade.
Because the midpoint is the exact middle of a range, the top of each of the 17 pay ranges was
determined by adding 25 percent, and conversely, the bottom was determined by deducting 25
percent for a total 50 percent spread from the minimum of a salary grade to the maximum of a
salary grade. The Town's current classified salary schedule also contains a 50 percent spread
between the minimum and maximum of each grade. However, the current structure contains 53
grades, while the new structure contains 17. The market study has allowed the placement of jobs
similar in market value into the same salary grades, thereby reducing the need for so many salary
grades.
Proposed Pav Adiustments
Implementing the new salary- structure will give experienced, high performing employees the
opportunity to earn cash compensation at the 50th percentile or above of the market over time.
There are also immediate impacts to the change in structure that are generally dealt with by
providing incumbent employees with some type of pay adjustment. Based on Council direction
early in the study, staff is recommending that any such pay adjustment be based not only on the
market study, but on an employee's actual job performance. The Town's performance
management system will serve as the vehicle to achieve the pay adjustments that are being
recommended here.
The adjustments recommended to implement the market study in FY 2008-09 are intended to
provide the greatest amount of change in base pay to high performing employees whose salaries
{00010336.DOC / 2} -2-
are below the midpoint of their "new" salary range. The chart below shows how actual
employee pay is distributed throughout the new salary structure. The midpoint is represented by
the line between quadrant two (2) and three (3). High performing employees in quadrant two (2)
and below will be eligible for the largest amount of pay increase.

Based on the Town's performance rating system shown in the far left-hand column of the .chart
below, staff is proposing the following strategies for employee pay in FY 2008-2009. Pay is
based on the performance rating for the performance period July 1, 2007 -June 30, 2008.

Estimated Cost $146,000 $99,000 $333,227 $166,000*
*Note: Performance Award is a one-time payment, not added to an employee's base pay. It is
paid as a lump sum.
If approved, the pay adjustments summarized in the above chart would be implemented effective
the first full pay period in September (September 13, 2008) as follows:
Minimum Adjustment If Below Min) -Employees whose salaries fall below the minimum of
the new salary range for their position will be eligible for a two percent pay adjustment to base
salary or will move to the minimum of the new salary range, whichever is greater, provided that
an employee's performance rating is "consistently met in all areas" or higher. Employees whose
performance "did not meet," will have any "below min" adjustment held in abeyance until
performance is rated as "consistently met in all areas." Probationary employees whose pay is
below the minimum will be eligible for a minimum adjustment upon satisfactory completion of
the probationary period (which may fall after the September 13, 2008 implementation date).
Midpoint Adjustment (If Below Mid) -Non-probationary employees whose salaries fall below
the midpoint of the new salary range for their position, but are above the new minimum, will be
eligible for a two percent pay adjustment to base salary or will move to the midpoint of the new
range, whichever is lesser, provided that an employee's performance rating is "consistently met
in all areas" or higher. Employees whose performance "did not meet," are not eligible for a
{00010336.DOC /2} -3 -
midpoint adjustment. Employees who receive a "minimum adjustment" are not eligible for a
"midpoint adjustment." .Probationary employees as of September 13, 2008 are not eligible for a
midpoint adjustment.
Merit Award -Employees are eligible for a merit adjustment to base salary based on
performance during the performance period (July 1, 2007 -June 30, 2008) as follows:
Far exceeded in all areas 3.0%
Consistently exceeded in all areas 3.0%
Consistently met and exceeded in many key areas 2.5%
Consistently met in all areas 2.0%
Did not meet 0.0%
Merit awards for probationary employees shall be prorated based on the months of actual service
achieved during the performance period (FY 2007-2008) and maybe awarded no earlier than
satisfactory completion of the probationary period and no later than the employee's anniversary
date.
Performance Award -Upon recommendation of their department head, non-probationary
employees whose performance is rated at least "consistently met and exceeded in many key
areas" maybe eligible for a one time (lump sum) performance award: This award must be
justified by the department head based on significant contributions to the Town during the last
fiscal year and approved by the Town Manager. The Town Manager will establish guidelines for
the performance award program. The amount of the award and the number ofnon-probationary
employees receiving the award per department is limited by the funds allocated to that
department. One time funds in the amount of $166,000 will be allocated based on the total
payroll of a department or group of departments.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The ongoing operating funds needed to implement the classification and compensation study
results, including the new salary schedule for classified employees, were anticipated in the FY
2008-09 budget that was adopted by the Town Council in June. A conservative estimate of the
anticipated annualized salary costs are shown below. Actual costs for FY 2008-09 (10 month
total) are less, due to the September implementation date and are well within the $1 million
budgeted. An additional $166,000 in one time money for the lump sum performance awards will
come from anticipated budget savings. The performance award does not create an ongoing
increase to an employee's base salary or an ongoing obligation to the Town.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TOWN OF MARANA 9 Mnr~Arv,a ;
INFORMATION
- ARIZUNP
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: J. 6
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
.FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-105: Relating to Utilities; adopting a notice of
intention to adopt wastewater rates, rate components, fees, and
service charges, and setting a September 16, 2008 public hearing
on the proposed adoption.
DISCUSSION
The Town needs to adopt rates and fees for operation and maintenance of the Marana wastewater
utility, to assure sufficient funding of operation and maintenance activities when the facilities are
transferred from Pima County to Marana. The Town is proposing wastewater utility rates and
fees closely comparable to those currently charged by Pima County. To assure that the Town
may continue to charge those rates and fees after the transfer, they should be separately adopted
by the Town.
Arizona law (A.R.S. § 9-511.01) requires the Town Council to adopt a notice of intention to
adopt wastewater rates, rate components, fees or service charges, and to set a date for a public
hearing on the proposed adoption not less than 30 days after the notice of intention is adopted.
The economic consulting. firm Economists.com has prepared a written report consisting of a
wastewater rate model and other relevant information which is available to the public and on file
in the office of the Town Clerk. The wastewater rates, rate components, fees, and service charges
set forth in the Economists.com report are needed to fund the operation and maintenance of the
Marana wastewater utility when the wastewater conveyance system is transferred from Pima
County.
Town staff recommends that the Council adopt this notice of intention and set a September 16,
2008 public hearing on the adoption of wastewater rates and fees. The rates and fees may be
adopted at any time after the public hearing. If adopted on September 16, the Town's wastewater
rates and fees will go into effect on October 16, 2008 or the date the Town takes. over the waste-
water conveyance system from Pima County, whichever is later.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2008-105, adopting a notice of intention to adopt
wastewater rates, rate .components, fees and service charges, and setting a public hearing on
them.
{00010331.DOC /} - 1 - FJC/cds 7/24/08
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item will give the Town's wastewater utility the funding necessary to operate as an enter-
prise for budgeting purposes.
SUGGESTED MOTION

SETTING A SEPTEMBER 16, 2008 PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED ADOPTION.
WHEREAS the Town of Marana is preparing to take over from Pima County the
wastewater conveyance system serving the Town limits; and
WHEREAS A.R.S. § 9-511.01 requires the Town Council to adopt a notice of intention
to increase water and wastewater rates, rate components, fees or service charges and to release to

components, fees and service charges; and
WHEREAS the notice of intention is the first step in adopting the rates, rate components,
fees and service charges the Town needs to operate the system at the time of the takeover; and
WHEREAS the statutorily required report is on file in the office of the Town Clerk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, that a notice of intention to set wastewater rates, rate

gRIZON~'
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: J. 7
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-106: Relating to Utilities; adopting a notice of
intention to adopt wastewater treatment development impact fees,
and setting an October 7, 2008 public hearing on the proposed
adoption.
DISCUSSION
The Town needs to adopt wastewater treatment development impact fees (DIFs), also sometimes
referred to as connection fees, to cover the Town's anticipated cost of providing wastewater
treatment capacity to serve new development. Adoption of these DIFs will assure sufficient fund-
ing for the construction of wastewater treatment plant capacity when the Town takes over the
Marana wastewater utility from Pima County. The Town's proposed wastewater treatment DIFs
are lower than the sewer connection fees currently charged by Pima County. To assure that the
Town may continue to charge for connection after the transfer, the wastewater treatment DIFs
should be separately adopted by the Town.
Arizona law (A.R.S. § 9-463.05 (C)) requires a municipality to give at least 60 days' advance
notice of intention to assess a new or modified DIF and to release to the public a written report
that identifies the methodology for calculating the amount of the DIF, explains the relationship
between the DIF and the infrastructure improvement plan, includes documentation that supports
the assessment of the DIF, and identifies any index to be used for automatic adjustment of the
DIF. A DIF may be adopted not less than 30 days after the public hearing, and may not go into
effect unti175 days after adoption.
In keeping with these statutorily mandated timeframes, Town staff recommends the following
schedule for the wastewater treatment DIFs:
August 5, 2008 -Adopt notice of intention/notice of public hearing
October 7, 2008 -Hold public hearing
November 18, 2008 -Formally adopt the DIFs
February 1, 2009* -DIFs go into effect
The economic consulting firm Economists.com has prepared the .wastewater treatment DIF re-
port which addresses all of the statutory requirements. Three copies of the report are on file with
the Marana Town Clerk and available for public viewing.
*or later, if the Town has not yet taken control of the Marana wastewater utility
{0001o376.DOC/} FJC/cds 7/24/08
Town staff recommends that the Council adopt this notice of intention and set an October 7 pub-
lic hearing on the adoption of wastewater treatment DIFs. These DIFs will.allow the Town to
collect funding from new development in an amount sufficient to pay for wastewater treatment
capacity needed to serve the new development.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2008-106, adopting a notice of intention to adopt
wastewater treatment DIFs, and setting an October 7 public hearing on the same.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item will give the Town's wastewater utility the funding necessary to provide wastewater
treatment capacity for new development as it occurs.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2008-106.

TOWN MAGISTRATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("this Agreement") is made by and between the Town of
MARANA, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Town"), and Charles Davies (the "Judge") for
magistrate services. The Town and the Judge are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the
"Parties" and are sometimes individually referred to as the "Party."
RECITALS
A. The Town has established the Marana Municipal Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 22-402, and
has established the position of Marana Town Magistrate pursuant to A.R.S. § 22-403.
B. The Judge is a member in good standing of the State Bar of Arizona with extensive
Arizona civil and criminal courtroom experience.
C. The Judge has been hired as Marana Town Magistrate, and the Parties desire to enter into
this Agreement to set forth the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises. and
agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Article 1. Magistrate Appointment and Compensation
1.1. Appointment. The Town hereby appoints and employs the Judge as Marana Town
Magistrate for the two year term beginning September 1, 2008 and ending August 31,.2010.
1.2. Compensation. The Judge shall be paid a base salary of $ 100,000 per year for the period
of this Agreement, modified by any increases noted herein.
1.3. Cost of Living Adjustments. The Judge shall not be entitled to receive cost of living
adjustments during the term of this Agreement.
1.4. Annual Salary Adjustment. The Parties recognize that performance reviews and merit-
based salary adjustments would not be consistent with maintaining the independence of the
Marana Town Magistrate. On the other hand, restricting the Judge's compensation to base salary
would provide lesser salary increases than are typical for unclassified (management) employees
of the Town. To balance these considerations, the Parties agree that the Judge's salary shall be
adjusted upward by two and-a-half percent on July 1, 2009.
1.5. Annual Arizona Judicial Conference. The Judge shall be permitted to attend the annual
Arizona Judicial Conference, and the Town shall pay mileage expenses and standard reasonable
lodging and meal reimbursements for his attendance, provided that the Judge shall satisfy any
continuing legal education requirements at the conference, and any other continuing legal
education requirements shall be satisfied by attendance at seminars within the State of Arizona.
1.6. Status. For purposes of determining employee benefits, the Judge shall be an employee
of the Town, and not an independent contractor, and shall receive all of the normal employee
benefits accruing to other Town employees with the following exceptions. The Judge shall be
granted 40 hours of additional personal leave annually on January 1 of each year, except that the
hours for 2008 shall be granted on September 1, 2008 The 40 hours of personal leave shall not
