But, I would like the see this proposal go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a final review and approval or disapproval for both the size and location a that property. A motion was made by Mike Reuwsaat, and seconded by Ed Honea, to send Resolution 98.64 back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review of location and the size of the recreation area. The motion carried 6/0. Roxanne Ziegler: You want to limit the discussion just to the issue to where the park is? I do not have the same concerns. I would rather hear it stated that we send it back to the Planning Commission and not have a scope. A motion was made by Mike Reuwsaat, seconded by Ed Honea, to amend to send Resolution 98.64 back to Planning and Zoning Commission. The motion carried 6/0. Ed ltonea: I don't like the location and I think it should be larger. Resolution No. 98-77 - Approval to apply for a State Department of Commerce Energy Office, Municipal Energy Management Program Grant. (Brad DeSpain) Mike Hein: The blue sheet indicates that we apply to the State Department of Commerce Energy Office for an innovative program for smaller communities under the population of seventy thousand (70,000) for energy efficient projects. We would utilize the money if received for replacement of some pressure pumps and well pumps in the water system. There is required a 25% match, that match is available in our capital projects fund in the Water Department. So that it would relieve some of the burden from the general fund should we do these projects this fiscal year. Staffis recommending authorization to submit. A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Vice Mayor Sutton, to approve Resolution 98-77 as written. The motion carried 6/0. D. Resolution No. 98-76 - Consent for the Formation of the Proposed Avra Domestic Water Improvement District. (Brad DeSpain) Mike Hein: This item could have been considered under consent, but staff thought it would be appropriate for it to be on the general agenda, since I don't believe we've ever done one of these before. As indicated in the correspondence dated June 8th from the County, Mr. Thomas Burke indicates pursuant to State Law a water district has asked to form and they are non contiguous within the 6 3 · · . · .'. MINUTESOF REGULAR COUNCIL:MEETiNG .' "' ' " '..MARANA·TOWNCOUNCIL mile radius from the town boundaries. Therefore, our consent ~s required. Basically, they are asking to form their own improvement district or Water District that is similar to Metro Water. Our consent would be forwarded to the County who has the ultimate authority over the district. Staff is recommending approval. Vice Mayor Sutton: Will this interfere with our water plans for the future? Mike Hein: Staff believes it will have no impact from a hydrological standpoint as well as from a service area standpoint. It's an existing private system that wishes to get an infusion of capital. To do that is through a district so that they can get the bonding capacity. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Sutton, and seconded by Mike Reuwsaat, to approval Resolution 98-76. The motion carded 6/0. E. Community Center Expansion Senior Center Wing - Presentation/Discussion (Dave Atler) Mike Hein: Mr. Atler is here to give you an update and to bring you information and to seek guidance on some the projects under development. Dave Atler: We're going to give you an overview on the Senior Center for the Community Center Expansion. Steve Nygren is here to give you a walk through on the interior and exterior. Steve Nygren: We came up with this program to be used as a usage area for the seniors. The idea is to: · Support social functions · Outreach programs · Meetings · Games · Parties · Drawing will also reflect additional wings · To develop three areas of usage in one building (Mr. Nygren proceeded to name materials that would be used for the project.) Roxanne Ziegler had concerns on ADA accessibility for the new construction inside and out. Steve Ngyren's response was all ADA requirements would be met. Mayor Harm We will try to get a vehicle that would be equipped to transport seniors with a handicap lift. We have a good chance &bringing in a vehicle with a wheelchair lift. And that would help to move people around. For some seniors transportation is a problem. ......MiNUTESiOF. REGULARCOUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN COUNCIL F. Resolution No. 98-81 -Agreement for Services between the Town of Marana and Pima Association of Governments for a Summer Youth Employment Art Program (Jocelyn Entz) Mike Hein: This one is a little different from the one in the past.
