PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Led by Mayor Ora Harn INVOCATION Led by Mayor Ora Harn COUNC~ Ora Ham Bobby Sutton, Jr. Ed Honea Herb Kai Sherry Millner Roxanne Ziegler Michael Reuwsaat Mayor Vice Mayor, excused Councilman Councilman, excused Councilwoman Councilwoman Councilman STAFF Hurvie Davis Michael Hein Sandra Groseclose Dan Hochuli Jerry Flannery Dave Atler Town Manager Assistant Town Manager Town Clerk Town Attorney Planning & Zoning Director Public Works Director 12 Members of the Public 1 Member of the Press APPROVAL OF AGENDA A motion was made by Ed Honea to approve the agenda with the exception of item C, under General Order of Business, that item to be conhnued to the next meeting. Motion was seconded by Michael Reuwsaat. Roxanne Ziegler: Why do you want you to continue it? Ed Honea: Because we don't have a full Council. Two of the Members that support that item are not here. ~UGUS~ 5; ~997 Roxanne Ziegler: Madam Mayor, according to the Town Code, a quorum is here, so l ask that we do not continue it on that basis. That we discuss it tonight. Sherry Millner: A statement from Council Member Sutton that needs to be read. Mayor Harn: On item C, if we continue, would not be relevant at this time, because we are voting to continue the item - not to discuss it. IfI am correct, I will ask the attorney for an opinion on that. Dan Hoehuli: That's the Mayor's decision on that call. Mayor Harn: Asked if Councilmen Honea and Reuwsaat had any problem with her reading the statement. Neither had a problem. Mayor Ham: Read the following statement by Council Member Sutton: After much thought and research it has become apparent to me that the new proposed procedure for the selection of Planning and Zoning Commissioners would be a waste of time and resources. Under the current system any Council Member can submit an individuals name for consideration to be appointed to the Planning Commission. Not only to use the cliche' "if it's not broke don't fix it" it would require a great amount of legal work to incorporate the proposed chance in the Town Code and Planning and Zoning rules. Therefore, I urge the Council to leave well enough alone and make no changes to the current procedure. Roxanne Ziegler: Again, I would ask that we would not continue this item. The Town Code is what governs our Town, we do have a quorum. Council Member Sutton has sent in this letter, I think it very well states how he feels, if he was here he would reject this item. I'd like to keep this item on the agenda. Mayor Harm I will retain a yes vote on this to continue this item to the next meeting, only because at the last meeting we had a favorable vote 4 to 3 - that means this Council, Vice Mayor as well, voted to accept this issue. I find that to Council Member Kai, who is not here and to the vote that existed that to be fair to all I will vote for continuance. Roxanne Ziegler: The Town Code, again, and if I have to, I will look to Mr. Hochuli, the Town Code states that if we have a quorum, to continue an item because someone isn't here is not a very good reason. There's nothing in the Town Code, that says because someone isn't here, we'll continue it. We have a quorum, that was the reason that Council Member Honea gave because a couple Council Members aren't here. The Council Members who are not here, know when our meetings are, they've been excused and that's fine - I'm asking you to stay with the Town Code and we have a quorum. Mayor Harn: I'm going to ask for a ruling on this. If my understanding is correct, the Council Members at a vote of a majority can continue any item on the agenda - regardless if there is a quorum or not. Dan Hochuli: Your statement is correct. Roxanne Ziegler: I wanted to ask again to both Council Members, why is it that you want to continue this? To make sure I'm clear. Ed Honea: We continue items almost every Council meeting - that we either want more research or we want more people involved or whatever. Roxanne Ziegler: Why is it that you want to continue this one? Michael Reuwsaat: I would like to see Councilman Herb Kai here to hear his opinion. I would also extend you this same opportunity if you were to be excused. I would make a motion for continuance. I think that's out of courtesy. Roxanne Ziegler: So out of courtesy, you would like, even though we have a quorum here, and I want to understand this Madam Mayor, out of courtesy in that our fellow Council Members are not here and they are excused you would like to defer this item until they are here so that they may have their vote? Michael Reuwsaat: Correct. A vote was taken on the motion, the motion passed 3 to 2, with Roxanne Ziegler and Sherry Millner voting no. ACCEPTANCE OF M1NUT_ES Minutes of Regular Council Meeting - July I, 1997 Minutes of Regular Council Meeting - July 15, 1997 A motion was made by Ed Honea to approve the Regular Council Meeting of July 1 and the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of July 15, 1997. Roxanne Ziegler: Page 7, Discussion/Action - paragraph D and I think Council Member Reuwsaat will help me here, I think the word Council should be Commission. The sentence reads "There are 2 Planning Commission Members' that terms expire 6-30- 97 and so there are basically three positions that are open to be appointed or re- appointed to the Council" I think that should be Commission. Michael Reuwsaat: I would like to make a correction also, on page 12, it says "That can happen right now". "What you 're talking about is award system" it's not an award system, it's a ward system 2 words. Sandy Groseclose: First paragraph? Thank you. A motion was made by Ed Itonea, seconded by Roxanne Ziegler and carried unanimously to approve the minutes with corrections, VII. CALL TO THE PUBLIC/ANNOUNCEMENTS Dave Atler: Presented a new employee of his staff to Council (inaudible) Charlene Abbett, 7505 W. Mt. Sky Dr.: Advised Council that Vick Chamis, who used to be the Building Inspector here, has been in a hospital since the middle of May. He is in Life Care, off of La Cholla, Room 81 OB. He has not had many visitors. He has given so much to the community. A visit, call or card would be appreciated. Mayor Harn: I was contacted today by Nancy Henry, potential resident of the Town of Tortolita and requested that the Town of Marana join the City of Tucson in the lawsuit regarding the six mile limit. She stated to me she could not be here but she wanted to make her request made to the Town. Many people in her community were concerned about the incorporation of that community. That is read into the record as requested. VIII. STAFF REPQRTS IX. Roxanne Ziegler: Wanted to commend staff for staying below budget at the start of the new fiscal year. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS Consent Agenda 1. Resolu0on No. 97-79 - Accepting an Agreement for Town Property for Road Right-of-Way and Maintenance of a New Road from Trico Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Chicago Title Insurance Company 2. Ordinance No. 97,21, Resolution 97-77 - Amending the Town of Marana Personnel Policies by Adding Article 02.16.05, Benefits Continuation/COBRA, and Article 07, Return-to-Work 3. Resolution No, 97-76 - Adoption of the Revised Eastern Pima County Trail System Master Plan 4. Ordinance No. 97.24: Thornydale/Tangerine Annexation - Adoption of an Annexation of a Portion of Section 1, Township 12 South, Range 12 East; a Portion of Section 6, Township 12 South, Range 13 East; and a Portion of Sections 29, 30, 31 and 32, Township 11 South, Range 13 East; Gila & Salt River & Meridian, Pima County, Arizona and the Resulting Transitions of County Zoning Town of Marana Zoning A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Michael Reuwsaat and carried unanimously to approve the Consent Agenda. B. PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 97.19: Fry's at Silverbell and Cortaro Roads: Removal of Occupancy Condition - Condition and Approval of Ordinance No. 97.19 Pertaining to a Request by A&C Properties to Amend 4 Ordinance Number 96.08, Condition 7, to Allow for Issuance of Certificates of Occupancy Prior to the Installation and Functioning of the Required Signal Light and Other Traffic Safety System Improvements within the Adjacent Intersection Hurvie Davis: Any member of the public that is here, we would like to hear them speak if they have an interest in this item. As far as removing the condition, I believe Council is familiar with the condition that the Town had placed on the construction and occupancy of the shopping center. In particular, Fry's - related to roadway improvements at the intersection of Cortaro Road and Silverbell Road. I believe most of the roadway improvements are complete with the exception of striping. The traffic signal is underway to construction. Staff recommends that Town remove that condition from the requirement of Fry's store to open prior to the condition being fully met, Mayor Ham: Asked if any Council Members wanted to hear any more or go on, Anton Krapek, 7700 N. Bellwether Dr.: The intersection in question is on my traffic agenda almost everyday. The improvements that they've been mal(mg there, are almost complete. I was very irritated when I found out that when they have finished paving - two or three days later, along came DOT digging up what they put down to put in a light. So now we're going to have bumps on all four comers. I don't think we need a continuance on this. Ed Honea: Did you say DOT dug up the roadway? Anton Krapek: Whoever is putting the light in. Ed Honea: ~at's the contractor that's building the property. Anton Krapek: They crossed every lane from the edge of the street to the median. Every one of those had been patched by hand and every one of those is going to be a bump. The granting of a certificate of occupancy at this time is redundant - I think that light will be here in time for their opening in September. I agree with whoever made the statement that we don't need that particular item on the agenda. A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Michael Reuwsaat and carried unanimously that Council come out of Public Hearing. Mayor Harn: Read into record, a statement from Vice Mayor Bobby Sutton pertaining to this item: It has become obvious to me that the majority of the residents that I have spoken with want the Fry's Store to open as soon as they are ready, regardless if the traffic light at the corner of Silverbell and Cortaro is in or not. I urge the Council to approve the request by Fry's and recommend the traffic light be installed as soon as possible. A motion was made by Roxanne Ziegler to continue this item, reason being is that two Council Members are not present and would like to hear their opinions on this issue. Seconded by Sherry Millner. Ed Itonea: Appreciates Council Member Ziegler's comments. If Council continues this item, the rulings that were made prior to the Fry's Store getting a permit would be in effect and if this Fry's store wants to open prior to that stop light being operational - it will not be able to open. By continuing this item, wlYlch will amend that and make it where they can open without the stop light, will be conducive to operdng the Fry's store earlier. This would be doing the people in Continental Ranch and the people with the Fry's shopping center a disservice by continuing this item. Roxanne Ziegler: I understand what you're saying, however, again to recant what you said about item C, you wanted to have Council Member Kai and Council Member Sutton here to voice their opinion. I don't see any difference with this or anything else we are going to be looking at tonight. I'd like to hear their ideas. A vote was taken on the motion. Motion failed 2 to 3. A motion was made by Michael Reuwsaat, seconded by Ed Honea to approve Ordinance No. 97.19, amending Ordinance 96.08 pursuant to staffs recommendations. Motion passed 3 to 2, with Roxanne Ziegler and Sherry Millner voting no. Ken Matz, Fry's Foods ~ 3405 S. 5th St. Phoenix, AZ: As a point of clarification, undoubtedly we have many things right now in works for opening the store on the 27a'. I understand we have a quorum, we have a vote of three and [ would like to hear a clarification that this item is going to be removed and Fry's can have their Certificate of Occupancy. Mayor Harn: TWls item is approved. Dan Hochuli: Just to keep the record straight - the Council did not approve the issuance of a C of O, Council approved the waiver of the one condition. Whether a C of O is issued is up to the appropriate department. I didn't want the record to say that this approved the C of O. D. Resolution _No, 97-80 - Direct Election of the Mayor Dan Hochnli: I was asked to present this matter to Council. In the form of adoption, there is still two decisions that need to be made by the Mayor and Council. At this point, the Mayor is selected from among your number - the Council votes for the Mayor. The Mayor serves a two year term, unless removed by a majority vote of the Council. State law provides a procedure whereby you can have direct election of the Mayor by the population. In other words, they would vote for six Council Members and they would vote for a person as Mayor. In order for that to occur, this Council votes to place that issue on the ballot, The voters then vote whether they want on whether they want to have what's referred to as direct election of the Mayor. Council does not have the authority to create rhrect election of the Mayor, only to present that issue to the voters. 6 If it's presented to the voters and the voters affirm the vote or it receives a majority of the votes cast - then Council comes back and amends the Town Code to comply with the directive of the voters. The two issues that were left open were: 1) Whether the Mayor would be elected to a two year term or a four year term. I called around and what I have found is, there is absolutely no consistency among the Municipalities in the state. Either one of those will work. I should advise Council that if the Members of the Town Council are not paid positions (which you are not), then a sitting Council Member can run for other Public Office, while serving on the Council. You could have a situation where you'd have an election - some people would be running at large, other people would be Council Members that were running. If a Council Member running for Mayor, that would be a Council Member that was halfway through their four year term. If the person running for Mayor on the Council received the vote, then there would be a vacancy on the Council because that Council Member would become the Mayor and the Council would appoint the successor. That's the case in either instance. I did find one Town that after they did this, direct election of Mayor, they amended their Town Code to provide that Members of the Town Council could not run for Mayor wl~fle seated. You do have that authority, I didn't find anybody else that had done that - but I found one. That's not an issue that's necessarily before you tonight, but one that I think you should consider as you go through this process. 2)Whichelectionitwouldbe. If this matter is passed tonight, the Council can place it on the November 1997 ballot or the next ballot for the Town. There's an important distinction. ~l~ae November election is not a Town of Marana election - it's a Pima County Election, which means it would cost about the same as having a Town Special Election. Council could adopt the Resolution, scheduling it for the next General Election of the Town, that means the voters would decide in March of 1999 whether they want a direct election of the Mayor. If they did, the first Mayoral race would be March of 2001. If you chose to submit this to the voters in November of this year, that will have the issue resolved more quickly, but it will cost the Town the cost of a special election. If you wait, it will delay the implementation of direct election of the Mayor, but will save the Town money. I would suggest if there is a motion to adopt Resolution 97-80, I would ask that the motion he worded such that it answers those two questions. A motion was made by Roxanne Ziegler, to continue this item until all the Council Members are present. The motion was seconded by Ed Honea and carried unanimously. E. Discussion/Action of Process for the Location of a T0wn Municipal Comple_x A motion was made by Michael Renwsaat, seconded by Roxanne Ziegler to continue this item to the next meeting. Motion passed 4 to 1, with Mayor Ham voting no. Mayor Harn: I will leave this dais this moment. I have never heard or had such disgusting events happen in this Town Council. I do not appreciate it at all. Ed Honea: Asked for a recess. 7 Mayor Harn: Let the record show, Council has returned to the dais. There are five Members present, Vice Mayor Bobby Sutton and Councilman Herb Kal have been excused. On advice of the attorney, I can take the chair as long as I have not left the premises - I am still in control of the meeting. Ed Honea: Apologized to the Mayor and Council for his conduct during the meeting. Roxanne Ziegler: For the record I will send a letter to Ken Matz of Fry's. I asked for continuance on the item and it was denied and then we voted. I voted in error - I had no excuse. I am in favor of Fry's opening. Sherry Miilner: I would like to apologize also, I will also send this gentleman a letter. I think this brings to the fact that we are all appointed by the citizens of Marana and they expect us to be at these meetings. When some of our Members are not here, we make some choices that maybe every one of them needs to be involved in. All of our items are important and our Members up here on the Council need to know that they need to be here and if they can't be here, they need to get off the Council. Michael Reuwsaat: I'm very glad to serve with this Council as a whole and individually. We are here for the benefit of Marana as a whole. I apologize for my part. Mayor Harn: I would like to apologize also and say that in all my years in working on the Council, it's always been people on the Council who really cared about Marana. I've always been proud to serve with the people who have served on our Council. Sometimes when we have very strong feelings about things - emotionally we can get a little cross sections with each other. I do accept your apologies ! hope you will accept my apology and we will go on with our meeting. Thank you all for being so concerned about our community that you can really be emotional about your decisions. I honor all of your decisions. F. Request to Amend A.R.S. Section 9-237 - Relating to Appointive Officers of Cities and Towns; Town Clerk, Marshal and Engineer Mayor Harn: Every year in August or before the League of Cities and Towns is convened, Resolutions are presented to the League of Cities and Towns for them to vote on, When those Resolutions are accepted, they are then turned over to the League and given to their lobbying staff and they begin to lobby the legislature to pass Resolutions that are given to them by the different Cities in the state. When newly elected Council Members come on the Council, the first meeting that they come on board, they are requested then to appoint certain staffMembers. We feel that new Members coming on the Council should have a little bit of time. A Town really should have the opportunity to decide when they're ready to appoint officials and it should not be mandated and handed down to the Town as a mandate of when we should appoint those officials or how long we should appoint those officials for. This Resolution, our Town Attorney has drawn up, I think it's a Resolution that I can support at the Resolution committee. Ed Honea: Our Town Clerk, Town Engineer and our Police Chief- we have to appoint these people every two years at the first meeting of the new Council. Part of the reasoning I think for us to submit this Resolution to the Resolution Committee was - why do we have to reappoint these individuals every two years? I think what we were trying to get through this Resolution, two items: 1) If we are going to that - let's move it back a couple of months and give everyone an opportunity to interact with these key individuals. 2) Do these key individuals need to be re-appointed politically, every two years? Especially if they're paramount to the running of your business. A motion was made by Sherry Millner, seconded by Michael Reuwsaat that Mayor Ham be directed to sign the proposed Resolution asking the League of Arizona Cities and Towns to request changes to A.R.S. Section 9-237. Motion carried unanimously. G. EXECUTIVE SESSION - Pursuant to A.R.S. Section 38-431.01 (A)(4) for Discussion and Consultation with the Town Attorney to Consider the Town's Position and lnstruct its Attorney Regarding Contemplated Litigation by Lawyer's Title Trust No. 7610-T/or Sunward Materials A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Michael Reuwsaat to go into Executive Session. Motion earned unanimously. Back in Session at 9:42 P.M. H. Discussion and Action - Regarding the Request by the City of Tucson that the Town Join in Litigation Brought by the City Against Pima County Relating to the Distribution of County Bond Proceeds Within the Boundaries of Incorporated Cities and Towns Hurvie Davis: Several weeks ago, Mayor received a letter from the City of Tucson asking if the Town of Marana would be interested in joining the City of Tucson in a friendly lawsuit against the County Board of Supervisors on the issue of expending HURF Bond moneys within incorporated limits. The City of Tucson had filed that suit and it moved so fast in Court, prior to getting it on the Agenda because it was three weeks between our last Council meeting. Prior to getting it scheduled for the agenda, the Court had ruled in favor of incorporated areas, in favor of the City of Tucson. Those moneys could be used within incorporated limits. I put in a call to the City Manager of Tucson, asking whether or not we still needed to have this item on the agenda. If they still wanted our support and whether there's a likelihood of that lower court decision being appealed. I have not made any contact, even though I put a call in to the Manager on that issue. Mr. Hein had informed me earlier during the meeting that the County Board of Supervisors voted 4 to 1 today to appeal the lower courts decision on that ruling. The issue is still open to whether or not the Town of Marana wants to join the City of Tucson in that friendly lawsuit to make a determination that County HURF Bonds can be expended within incorporated limits. My recommendation to you would be - since it is a friendly lawsuit, and obviously we'd like to see those funds spent within our incorporated limits - that we consider joining that lawsuit. I don't know whether they want our moral support of financial support or both. Dan Hochuli: At this point since the matter will apparently be appealed to the Court of Appeals, it is awkward for the Town to become legally embroiled in the litigation, since we were not a party at the trial level. We are entitled to file an Amicus Curi Brief with the Court of Appeals - that means Friend of the Court - an Amicus Brief is when someone who is not part of the lawsuit wants to present their information to the court of Appeals, they can ask for permission and file one of these Amicus Briefs. It would be difficult for us to come in at this late time to file an Amicus Brief since we weren't in attendance at the hearing. We would have to order transcripts and get up to speed on the case. There are a couple of levels if the Town wants to join this litigation: 1) A moral/political support, which is to say "we're behind you". 2) Legal involvement. I just wanted to clarify that if the Council is interested in legally joining this suit - it's not impossible, but difficult and somewhat expensive to do that at this time. Ed Itonea: I would like to suggest that we send a letter to the City, voicing our support for their actions and that we copy it to the Board of Supervisors. Basically as a moral support. Mayor Harn: Mr. Hochuli, would it be proper maybe for you to contact their legal department just as a sign of support? Dan Hochuli: I think we could send a letter to the City Attorneys office, indicating that the Town Council wishes to express its support for this litigation and offer the services of the Towns legal department to the extent necessary by the City. If there's anything you need, let me know and I'll assist in any way that I can. A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Michael Reuwsaat and carried unanimously to direct the Town Attorney to send a letter to the City of Tucson and send a copy to the Pima County Board of Supervisors to show our support to the City of Tucson in their lawsuit. Council Serving as the Flood Plain Management Board - Discussion and Action Regarding the Cease aud Desist Order Issued to Trust No. 7610-T and Sunward materials Relating to the Current Operation in the Santa Cruz River Between Ina and Orange Grove Road Dan Hochnli: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council the Council at this point is acting as the Flood Plain Management Board. As you know, the Town has issued a cease and desist order to Sunward Materials and Trust No. 7610-T which is also known by some people as the Tanker Lease Trust, they are the property owners. Sunward Materials is the lessee operating Sand and Gravel Mine on the property. The Town has issued a cease and desist order on that property. There was a reaction by both of the other parties. I met with them today with the flood plain administrator, Dave Atler and we had a very fruitful and long discussion from about 1:30 until close to 5:00 today and after discussing the matter among a great number of people and all the principals were there, everyone's attorneys were there. We discussed various different aspects of this issue. Certain verbal proposals were set forth in that, which I believe, if followed through with sufficiently, would serve to accomplish a number of goals that I think this Board would like. Such as protecting the citizens of the Town of Marana, protecting the employees that operate in the Sand and Gravel industry as well as all the related construction industries and other industries. Minimizing the liability of the Town,, the 10 financial exposure of the Town, creating a safe and efficient use of the Flood Plain and the Flood way and the other goals set forth in the Towns Flood Plain Ordinance. I think today we made good progress toward bring a proposal to Mayor and Council which will avoid litigation and will accomplish those goals which I think are primary goals for this Board. Obviously toady we could not work out the details of that - it will take some time to do that. Staff would like 90 days in order to allow staff to work with the property owner and Sunward Materials to finalize a plan which we could then bring back to this Board. At that point discuss the details of the plan and receive further feedback from this Board. I think at this point we just don't have enough of the details worked out, we made a lot of progress today, but we need time to do that. I think in 90 days, staff and the other two parties will have had adequate time to work with those entities to formulate the plan and perhaps resolve the issues in a way that would really be best for the citizens of Marana. There's a lot of issues for us to deal with here, not just whether there's a lawsuit or not but the best use of the flood plain. In conjunction with that I think there's some specific concerns that the flood plain administrator and I had including assuring there's adequate indemnification and insurance to cover in case there is any problems. Periodic updates to the flood plain management board in order to assure that we don't come back in 90 days and say we haven't gotten anywhere, we'd like to be able to bring back at least monthly updates for the next three months and update the Board Members on the progress we're making, what direction we're going and those kinds of things. Some other areas that we think will assure that progress is being made and that the Town and the citizens of the Town are adequately protected. Based upon all of that, staff recommends that the Flood Plain Management Board move that the Flood Plain Administrator extend the enforcement of the Cease and Desist Order which has been issued to Sunward Material and Trust No. 7610-T through November 7, 1997 upon the specific conditions and requirements to be set forth by the Flood Plain Administrator in the extension of the Cease and Desist Order. A motion was made by Roxanne Ziegler, seconded by Michael Reuwsaat to follow staffs recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Harn: Mr. Hochuli and Mr. Atler you will get with the people at Sunward and people involved in this and start working at this process, posthaste. Dan Hochnli: Madam Mayor, if I could request of the Clerk, before I forget, if this portion of the minutes could be typed for me as quickly as possible, perhaps even tomorrow and faxed over to my office. That would help us to move this along quickly. At this point, the developers are under the understanding that the Cease and Desist goes into affect in three days and we would like to get this moving. J. Mayor and Council's Report There were none. K. Manager's Report Hurvie Davis: July 16 we attended the re-dedication of the re-opening of the Silverbell Mine. We had quite a tour of the facility with the copper extraction. Mayor Ham was a speaker and she talked about her times with the Silverbell Mine. I also met with the II Tucson Convention Bureau Management, interested in the Town becoming a member of the Tucson Business and Convention Bureau. I said that even though we do have some motels and hotels in Town, more coming on line - I don't think we would be interested until we had a resort type where maybe they could bring conventions in and stuff like that. Maybe at some future time they will be coming back to us on that issue. We have continued to meet with the Foothills Mall and others on the Foothills Mall annexation and that is I think going well. Most of you know, Mayor Ham and Council Member Reuwsaat were at the Parsons Stockyard on July 29 for the issue on Bank One closing in our community. Over 100 + people attended there. It was a very good mm out. A lot of dialogue between the people in our commurfity with AZ Bank who has an interest perhaps in coming out and establishing a bank. I haven't heard back from them at this point and time. Tl~s past Friday I did go to Mt. View High School and looked at the Marana sign that the students have put together. It is a beautiful sign. Michael Hein: No report. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS There were none. XI. AD_,)'OURN_ MENT A motion was made by Ed Honea, seconded by Roxanne Ziegler and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 P.M. CERTIFICATION I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are the true and correct minutes of the Marana Town Council held on August 5, 1997. I further certify that a quorum was presenL 12
