APPROVAL OF AGENDA
A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Herb Kai, to approve the
agenda, as written. The motion carried 4/0.
GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
A. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Jerry Flannery, Development Services Administrator, briefly outlined the CIP
document presented to the Council and stated that he was aware of two
changes in the Plan. One change was the addition of a handicap-accessible
pool van for the Marana Police Department. The second change was moving
the Continental Ranch Park in the matrix up to one year in the future. At this
time, Mr. Flannery introduced the Project Manager for Partners for Strategic
Action, Kurt Dunham. Mr. Dunham discussed the Capital Improvement Plan
document produced for Marana with funding assistance from the Arizona
Department of Commerce and the State Development Fund. He explained that
it was only a guide and was to be used as a planning tool. Mr. Dunham
concluded by saying that the numbers inside the document would change but
that he would ask the Council to commit to the CIP process conducted annually
using this method.
Mi'NUT.ES OF COUNCIl., STUDY SESSION
MARANA TOWN COUNCIL
MAiRCH 16, 1999
VI.
Council Member Ed Honea complimented Mr. Dunham on the outstanding
layout of the document and how easy it was to read and comprehend. Mr.
Honea continued by stating that he was the Council member that was anxious
to have the Continental Ranch Regional Park moved up one full year in the CIP.
He stated that after learning of the $2.8 million surplus the Town had, he
decided that the Town could afford to fund the first year of the park in the 1999-
2000 fiscal budget.
Vice Mayor Bobby Sutton added that he, Mayor Harn and Council Member
Roxanne Ziegler had discussed how proud the Town could be to have this level
of professional documentation represent the Town.
Councilman Ed Honea questioned if the Study Session was the proper time to
bring forth adjustments or was the Council Meeting the proper forum. Mike Hein
answered by stating that the regular Council Meeting was the proper time to
bring the amendments before the Council for adoption.
Jerry Flannery commented that he particularly liked the CIP process because it
gets all of the department heads together in one room to hear the entire Town's
projections and participate in a team building, communicative process.
Vice Mayor Sutton asked if there was any further discussion. There was none.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Herb Kai, seconded by Mike Reuwsaat, to adjourn.
The motion passed 5~0. Time: 6:15 P.M.
