Evaluation Criteria and Weighing Points are a critical component to effectively prioritizing all capital projects and ensuring an effective and realistic CIE All Evaluation Criteria developed 3 MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAI~ANA TOWNCOUNCIE August 4, 1998 are weighted as to its important and each project is evaluated using the same criteria, and are objectively prioritized for the Town. Kirk Dunham who represent PSA (Partners for Strategic Action) gave an update and process; this program is a 5 year plan; they are in the process of programming the most important needs first and getting those projects completed to implement the general plan; in the process of finalizing a survey for the Town; forming a Focus Group with the development community and local land owners to coordinate planning efforts, in addition to the public input that's in the general plan. Mayor Ham inquired whether or not there would be a variety of people on TAC (Technical Advisory Committee). Mr. Dunham's response was that the committee would be made up of all the major department heads, a planning and zoning commissioner, as well as a council member and a citizen at large. The Council will also be participating in a work study session which would be held after the Oraft Needs Assessment is completed. This assessment will give the Council an overview of all projects being developed. A motion was made by Mike Reuwsaat, and seconded by Herb Kai, to approve Resolution No. 98-84, CIP Evaluation Criteria and Weighing Points developed by the ClP Technical Advisory Committee. The motion carried 7~0. F. Proposal to the Lea.quo of Arizona Cities and Towns Resolution Committee - Request to Amend A.R.S. Section XX, Relating to the Portability of Retirement Programs and Elimination of Exclusivity of Mandatory Retirement Plans in Cities and Towns to Allow Flexibility of Participants (Mike Hein) Mike Hein stated that potential employees had not come on board due to the fact that, the town does not have the state retirement program option and they are not able to transfer their retirement that they have already accumulated over to the Town of Marana into the 401A Plan. Should we have the availability of the State retirement Fund and the 401A, current and potential employees would have these two options. A change in the state law would provide these opportunities to all public employees and potential ones to the Town of Marana, The flexibility with having these two program and/or other programs would be nothing but a plus and recommends that the Resolution be submitted to the League of Cities and Towns Resolution Committee. This would hopefully be a good starting point of passage at the state level. A motion was made by Herb Kal, and seconded by Ed Honea, that Mayor Ham be directed to sign the proposed Resolution asking the League of MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARANA TOWN COUNCIL August 4, 1998 Arizona Cities and Towns to support legislation regarding public employee retirement options.
