B. PUBLIC HEARINO~ Ordinance No. 95.15, PCZ 95-04 Superstition Sales Rezone -
Consideration of a rezone request for a 2.14 acre property located approximately
3/8 mile north of Cortaro Road and fronting Camino de Oeste on the west side~
from Zone "C' to Zone "R-36".
Jerry Fiannery: This item was presented to the Planning Commission at the May 31, 1995
meeting. There was some discussion prior to that meeting about the lot sizes, that was
corrected. It was approved conditionally, with the conditions being that a map delineating the
two parcels that were created by the splitting of the property. Also that the vegetation be
considered for a Native Plants Permit under the Town's Ordinance, It is a fairIy simple parcel
split. Staff is recommending approval of the Ordinance.
Dan Hochuli: This parcel and another parcel on the Agenda tonight are adjacent. The
Ordinances that were drafted do not have the proper language, if Council was to pass the
Ordinances as written it would be with the addition of language.
Matt Berens, 3200 N. Central Ave. Phoenix, AZ: He represents the two applicants for the
zoning changes. The two corporations have different ownership, Superstition is out of
Nevada and the Timberline Land and Cattle Company is owned 98% by one person. He would
like to have the Ordinances approved tonight to avoid another two week delay.
Jerry Flannery: For Council's information, regulation in State law and the Town require a
subdivision plat be submitted for a four lot split or more. When this was reviewed with two
different ownership's and two different corporations, it was very distinctly expressed that they
are two distinct entities.
Dan Hoehuli: There are three people, each owning a third of Superstition Homes, he wanted
to know the names of the three people.
Matt Berens: Listed Jack Lane, Troy Lane and Grant Lane.
Dan Hochuli: Has a concern that in a legal sense corporations are separate entities. These
appear to be separate entities, but without more information he could not advise Council to
support that they are definitely separate entities. In his opinion this matter might warrant
more looking into.
Matt Berens: The applicants would like to proceed. This issue was to be on the Agenda in
May and it has beer~ delayed. He does not know why the owners would be considered
overlapping, they are not minor children.
Bobby Sutton Jr.: In conjunction with what Mr. Hochuli is saying, Sharon Price and himself
found in the inventory analysis that it is identical for both parcels.
Matt Berens: He believes that is a printing error.
Dan Hochuli: He had hoped he would not have to bring this up, but he informed Council
that he filed a lawsuit against Superstition Homes and Jack Lane about a year ago. Shortly
thereafter some of the individuals involved in that, although not Mr. Lane or Superstition
Homes, filed a lawsuit against Mr. Hochuli and Kelly Schwab.
Ora Harn: She would like to ask Mr. Berens why he is pressing to have this issue resolved
before the next Council meeting.
Matt Berens: Originally the piece was purchased by an individual entity. These
properties where purchased by a note and the note held pending the zoning change. When it
was purchased it was represented as one unit per acre property. We have a scheduled trustee
sale for later in July, He would like to avoid having another continuance of this pattern occur,
he would like to have it settled now.
Bobby Sutton Jr.: If Council would allow the rezoning and something would come up with
problems with the corporation, would that negate the rezoning.
Dan Hochuli: The owner of the property would have a pretty good argument that the
Ordinance survives.
Ora Harn: In all areas the Council must act in the best interest of the Community.
Mayor Honea declares Council out of Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to
continue this item until the next Council Meeting on July 18, 1995.
C. PUBLIC HEARING, Ordinance No. 95-14, PCZ 95-05 Timberline Land and Cattle
Rezone - Consideration ora rezone request for 2.88 acre property located
approximately 3/8 miles north of Cortaro Road and :282' west of Camino de Oeste
from the centerlJne, from Zone "C' to Zone '~R-36".
Mayor Honea declared Council in Public Hearing.
Bobby Sutton Jr.: Asked that Mr. Hochuli make sure that the Staff reports received from the
firm are updated to get the actual information for each plan for the next meeting.
Mayor Honea declared Council out of Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Ora Ham, seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to
continue this item until the next Council Meeting on July 18, 1995.
D. Art Project - Representatives from the art pr/!lect will update Council and ask for
approval of the design and location of the art piece. This project is funded by
Highway User Funds.
Hurvie Davis: Back in June the Tucson Pima Arts Council came to the Town regarding an
art project in the Town right-of-way. He felt it was appropriate to come back to the Council
with the site location and the concept for the art. The Arts Council and the Youth Group are
on a tight schedule, they were given conditional approval to proceed. Staff supports the
project and has been working with them. The drawings were reviewed to ensure that it meets
building standards codes, the fee for the permit was waived. Presented Council with the
proposal for the project. It will be on the southwest corner of Marana and Sandario Roads.
Barbara McLaughlln: She is working on the project with 10 Marana High School students.
They have started on the first part of the project and would like Council's opinion and input
on the second part. Does the Town feel the cowboy is appropriate, if not she has some other
idea.
Hurvie Davis: His observation is that it draws peoples attention to that corner, it will be very
nice looking once it is completed.
Ora Harn: What materials will be used to construct the statue.
Barbara McLaughlin: It will be steel re-bar framing, it will be a safe structure for the public.
Sharon Price: She likes the idea of the horse and rider.
Ora Harn: She thinks one of the outstanding things that will happen with this project is that
many years from now they will come back into the Town of Marana and feel a great pride with
having added something to this Community.
Mayor Honea: He also agrees, he feels this is a great project and with the Marana youth
being involved it makes it even better.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Tom Clark and carried unanimously to
approve the art project received and that it receive the unanimous support of the Council
and ali.
E. ICMA Retirement System - The Marana Town Council approve Retirement Plan
Parameters for Town General Classified Employees.
Hurvie Davis: Back in June Staff was before Council with a retirement system for the general
employees. At that time Council selected the ICMA 401 (a) Plan. Meetings were held today
with the employees for them to select their options. Before Council this evening are the
conditions of that retirement plan. The normal retirement age will be 62 years of age. Eligible
employees would be all full and part-time employees. Eligibility period would be immediately
upon employment with the Town. Employer and employee contribution rate will be set at 4%.
The vesting period would be on a five year basis and a loan provision will be included.
Roy Cuaron: On page 2 of the adopted agreement, would like to change that to read
permanent part-time employees. Also would like to change ~The Employer hereby elects to
~pick up" the Mandatory/Required Participant Contribution", change that to yes. Those are
the only changes that he recommends. He believes that Staff needs Council's direction as to
how they want the employer contribution deducted. Employees have received enrollments
forms. His recommendation would be the Savings Oriented Model Portfolio or on a more
conservative nature the 457 Plus Fund.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: The 401 Plus Fund, is that investing in the companies or buying a
product from that company that will get the yield.
Roy Cuaron: He is not sure but he believes it is buying products from one of the companies
listed.
Sherry Mlllner: We would put the money in a safe fund, but with the employees portion they
could put it where ever they want. Can employees contribute more than 4%.
Roy Cuaron: The Town is recommending a 4% maximum for both the employer and
employee.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Should there be some type of grace period for new employees. If they
start contributing right a way and then are let go during their probationary period, there is a
lot of work involved there.
ltu~vie Davis: He still strongly recommends that all employees be enrolled in the program
from the start of employment.
Ora I-Iarn: She has a concern with the retirement age being 62. Is there any different whether
it is set at 62 or 65.
Roy Cuaron: 62 is probably a common age for full retirement. The Arizona State Retirement
System also has a retirement age of 62.
Mayor I-Ionea: That does not mandate retirement at 62, it just means that if you qualify for
partial or full retirement you can take it.
Roy Cuaron: That is correct. Retirement age simply says that at the age of 62 you can draw
full retirement.
Mayor Honea: If we invest in the Savings Oriented Fund, do we have to take the four
suggested percentages as they are offered.
Roy Cuaron: That is correct, if the Town chooses the model portfolio.
Mayor Honea: He feels that the Town should be very safe and conservative with their share.
Roy Cuaron: If the Council chose to not go with the model portfolio, they can pick the
percentages from any of the funds.
Mayor Honea: If 75% of the money is in the Plus Fund and the Treasury Securities, could
bump the remaining 5% up into the Equity Income and eliminate the International Fund
altogether.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: In the Savings Oriented Fund, when the brokerage firms put together
their conservative bids, the International and the Global type funds in his opinion are put in
because it has the biggest chance of growth of any of them.
Ora Ham: She agrees with Councilmember Sutton, 5% is not going to be a lot of money.
5
A motion was made by Bobby Sutton, Jr. and seconded by Ora Ham and carried
unanimously to apply the Town's portion of the Retirement Plan to the Savings Oriented
Fund.
Hurvie Davis: He wanted to make sure that Council is comfortable with the investment
schedule.
Roy Cuaron: The vesting period starts from the date of employment. As of July 1, 1995 any
employee who has been with the Town five years will already be vested.
A motion was made by Bobby Sutton~ Jr., seconded by Tom Clark and carried unanimously
to approve the ICMA adoption agreement with the changes of Item 6 - other employees from
part-time employees to permanent part-time employees and Item 7 #1 be changed to yes.
Hnrvie Davis: Thanked the Council on behalf of present and future Town employees.
F. Proposal to Purchase Lyn Lee Water Company - The water company is located in the
Berry Acres neil~hborhood~ south of Marana Road and west of Wentz Road and serves
approximately 60 customers.
Hurvie Davis: Mr. DeSpain was contacted by Layne Boring, owner of Lyn-Lee Water
Company. He believes the Town has had some discussions in the past about the Town
acquiring this water system. There are three analogies included in Council's packet tonight,
with different figures for review.
Brad DeSpain: When Mrs. Boring contacted Mr. DeSpain, she had no proposal, she wanted
the Town to make her an offer. She called again last week and wanted to know what kind of
offer the Town was making. We are not making an offer. Some scenarios were put together
that Council can look at and perhaps from that they can give some direction to Staff. Mrs.
Boring wanted Council to know that before she would give the water company to the Town of
Marana, she would give it to Cortaro-Marana Water. His impression is that she would hope
for a $200,000.00 offer.
Mayor Honea: He feels that the Town is going to have a difficult time buying one water
company and charging two different rates. Most of these programs shown were drawn on her
rates. If we are operating a municipal water company and have two rates there could be
serious trouble.
Hugh Holub: The valuation of the water company can vary depending on factors other than
the number of customers, you would want to take a look at some of those factors. If you
could legally show that you have different costs in different parts of the Town, you could
probably set different rates but it would be hard to do.
Hurvie Davis: When Staff came to Council with the budget this year, they discussed the
Water Department budget. We are at the point where we need to consider raising rates for the
Municipal Water System, this has not been done for several years.
Mayor Honea: He does not feel it would be fair to raise the rates on the existing system and
lowering these to get a balance to where they were the same. Since the Town has bought the
Water Company the rates have almost doubled.
Hurvie Davis: We continue to get calls from little water systems over the last couple of years
who want to talk to the Town about buying them out.
Ora Harn: Discussing this issue is a mute point unless the Town is prepared to offer in the
area of $175,000.00 to $200,000.00 for this company. We have dealt with Mrs, Boring before
and this is a familiar issue. A previous Council made the decision that the Town would like to
work with Cortaro and resolve those issues before trying to buy another company.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Is there an amount where the Town could get in and have a shot at
obtaining the water company.
Brad DeSpain: The current rates would not pay the debt. It is a very difficult issue where
Mrs. Boring is not willing to come to the table with the Town.
Herb Kal: He would recommend telling Mrs. Boring that the Town is not interested at this
time.
Brad DeSpain: There have been several Marana Water Services who have called wanting to
know to if the Town would be interested.
Hurvie Davis: The Town will probably have to look at how this relates to them being the
primary water provider within the Marana Town limits. He would think that the Town would
have the authority to condemn the system and let the Courts determine the value.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Herb Kat and carried unanimously to direct
Staff to get together with Mrs. Boring and Lyn Lee Water Company and suggest to her that
right now the Town's water rates could not support the payment of debt that she would need
for the water company.
G. PCM- 95-02, Fee Schedule Amendment Ordinance No. 95.16 - Consideration of an
amendment to the Town's Fee Schedule to cover several administrative procedures
that are cateKorized as "no-cost recovery" procedures and increases to the existing
fees as recommended by the Planning Commission at their meetinlg of April 26~
1995.
Hurvie Davis: This is coming before Council in the form of a recommendation from the
Planning Commission.
Jerry Flannery: The Planning Commission did ask Staff some time ago to come up with new
fees. We would have fees in place for procedures that currently do not have one. The main
intent was to establish new fees, not to increase fees that were already set. This schedule was
introduced to the Planning Commission in March for information. Now it is back before
Council after the Planning Commission made additional changes.
Ora Harn: As she read over some of the fees that are suggested, they are considerably higher
than Oro Valley or Tucson. What is the reason that the Town's costs are so high.
Jerry Flannery: There were a number of increases in the fees that were originally adopted by
the Town and that those types of fees would need to be jnshfied. At that time the response
was from two Commissioners, both said they are aware that there are a lot of submittals and
sometimes the they are not complete. We do not have the manpower to review them and
when they are incomplete we spend more time on them, costing the Town more money. There
is also more senior Staff looking at submittals, where in Tucson there will be a technician
who reviews the plans.
Ora Ham: She is very uncomfortable with this schedule. The fees need to be comparable to
the fees in other jurisdictions. If someone can justify the fees she could go along with it. Not
everybody should have to pay because some people come to the Town who are not prepared,
those people who are not ready should be charged extra.
Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Is the schedule received from Tucson the latest version.
Jerry Flannery: As far as he knows the City of Tucson regularly updates their fees, we
obtained the most current Ordinance which is dated January 1, 1995 and June 30, 1995.
Pima County's Ordinance is dated September 20, 1988. He would like to add that if Council
would like to direct Staff they could present the fees to the Council where there were none.
John Lynch: It has been his experience that the City of Tucson's policy is that if it not done
correctly the first time, you are charged a separate fee for a re-submittal.
Hurvie Davis: As was indicated before, developers come in with sloppy work and Staff has to
clean it up, therefore we ought to be charging them for it. If we charge a reasonable rate he
suspects that more sloppy work will come in with the Town doing the work.
Ora Harn: She would like to suggest that instead of making a motion that Council ask Staff
to look into possible penalties for people who cannot bring their work in on time and
complete. Possibly the Planning and Zoning Administrator could look at the fees and bring
back some suggestions on what the fees should be if the work is complete and what the fees
will be if it is not.
Jerry Flannery: If you look on the schedule, it does mention additional submittals. That is a
mirroring of some of the other philosophies that the City of Tucson and Oro Valley have
implemented in their Ordinances. If somebody did come in with a subdivision plat and it was
not complete they would have an additional fee, the additional submittal could be 50% of the
original fee.
Tom Clark: He is appreciative of the Planning Commission's enactment of some of these fees.
It's says the fee schedule was unanimously recommended by the Planning Commission. He
does not think that the fee schedule is out of line by any means.
Dan Hochult: There are particular publication requirements with intent to increase
development fees, those notices have been met. If Council would decide to lower the fees he
does not believe that it would need to be published again. If changes are made on the
Ordinance it does not need to go back to the Commission unless Council would want it to.
The fees will not be in effect until 90 days after the formal adoption of the Ordinance.
Sharon Price: Has there been any objections to the fee schedule.
Jerry Flannery: No.
A motion was made by Tom Clark, seconded by Herb Kai and carried with Mayor Ed Honea
and Councilmember Ora Harn voting Nay to approve Ordinance No. 95.16 by a vote of 5 to
H. Resolution No. 95-38 an Intergovernmental Agreement {IGA] - An a~reement
between the Town of Marana and Pima County providing for joint use of the Marana
Park Pool.
Hurvie Davis: Mr. Hochuli has been working on the IGA with Pima County and he will
address this issue.
Dan Hochuli: This IGA was prepared at the request of the County. The IGA was prepared by
Town Staff so the Town could have some control over what it stated. The County had a few
changes that they wanted to see, which were done. They now have had a copy of the IGA
for almost two weeks and he has not heard anything from them yet.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Herb Kal and carried unanimously to adopt
Resolution No. 95-38.

K. Renewal of contracts ~ Hugh Holub, Town Water Attorney; Brad DeSpaint Utility
Directori Dan Hochuli~ Town Attorney~ GLHN and Collins/Pina.
Ora Harn: There are two bids for engineering and she would like to handle those first. There
is a bid from Collins-Pina Engineering Service and one from GLHN Engineering Service.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton, Jr. and carried unanimously
to accept the Collins-Pina Engineering Service bid for engineering.
Councilmember Tom Clark left the dais with a conflict of interest.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Herb Kal and carried unanimously to approve

Councilmember Tom Clark returned to the dais.
A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to

A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Sharon Price and carried unanimously to
approve the contract for the services of Hugh Holub, the Town Water Attorney as submitted.
L. Sanders Road/Moore Road/Improvement Projects - Santa Cruz River to Marana Road
STP-MR[/O(SJP~ and Moore Road-Sanders Road to Sandario: Costs of reconstruction
and amendment to Pima Association of Governments Transportation Improvement
Plan.
Hurvie Davis: This item has come before Council this evening to ask for concurrency in the
modifications in the funding of various projects. We have been trying to get Sanders Road
from the Santa Cruz River to Marana Road improved. Moore Road between Sanders and
Sandario Roads have been in the plans as well. There is a funding problem with the Sanders
Road project. He gave Council a hand out to explain the projects. There are two projects that
would be canceled or delayed and the money from those projects would be taken. Those two
projects are Twin Peaks and Barnett Roads. We would recommend changing the funding for
those projects be shifted to the Sanders Road project. The estimated from the ADOT is
approximately $812,675.00 for this project.
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA TOWN COUNCIL
JULY 5, 1995
John Siath: The estimate on Moore Road is $520,00.00.
Hurvie Davis: There is a short fall of approximately $300,000.00 on this project. He would
recommend transferring this amount to the Sanders Road project. Also would like to transfer
$272,000.00 to the Moore Road project for a total of $632,000.00.
John Siath: The Sanders Road project will begin at the Santa Cruz River bridge and head
north to Marana Road, for a total length of 1.9 miles. The roadway will be reconstructed to a
two lane, which is 12 feet, with an 8 foot shoulder on each side. The project will not require
any additional right of ways. Each of the intersections along Sanders Road will be improved.
In addition to those improvements there will be minor drainage improvements along the road.
The bid is scheduled to take place at the end of July, it should take between 60 and 90 days
to accept the bid. Construction would then begin in late October or early November, it is
currently programmed for a three month period. During the construction phase the traffic
will be diverted to Moore Road. By the time Sanders Road is completed then they will turn
around and do Moore Road. The section of Moore Road to be worked on is between Sanders
and Sandario Roads, it is a very similar project. There are 21 driveways on Moore Road that
will be reconstructed because of the new profile of the roadway. They are currently in the
process of obtaining the temporary construction easements which allow for the
reconstruction of the driveways. If property owners decide not go have this done the project
will not include their driveway.
Tom Clark: There are some place where the Town raised Barnett Road and water would run
into the fields if there was any flooding. There is also a bump on Moore Road that he would
like to have graded out.
John Siath: He would have to look at the road profile and see how to best service that area.
Herb Kal: Concerning Sanders Road culverts, what size are they currently and would they be
upgraded.
John Slath: In reviewing the plans, there are some updated sizes on there but he would have
to look into it further.
Herb Kal: Have Cortaro Water users been notified of the upgrades.
John Siath: They should have been contacted but again he would have to look into that.
There will have to be some type of public relations program to update the citizens on what is
going on.
Hurvie Davis: He would like to indicate that on Twin Peaks Road the section that he is
recommending be eliminated is for a grading and paving. There was an agreement last year
with the County to chip seal a portion of Twin Peaks Road.
A motion was made by Herb Kai, seconded Sharon Price and carried unanimously to
approve amending the PAG TIP To eliminate Twin Peaks Road: CAP east to the Town limits
and Barnett Road: Sanders Road to Sandario Road and transfer Federal and local funding of
$300,000.00 to the Sanders Road project for a total of $820,000.00 and transferring
$272,000.00 to the Moore Road project for a total of $632,000.00.
