Jane is very experienced and qualified and is doing a fine job. Sandy Groseclose: Introduced LaMarion Sanders the new Building Permit Clerk. She has been working diligently and is an asset to the Town. VIII. STAFF REPORTS On file at the Marana Town Hall. IX. GENERAL ORDER OF BUSINESS A. WCA Community Development Agreement Amendment to the Development Agreement Resolution No. 95-36. Hurvie Davis: This item is before Council this evening to ask for a modification to the Development Agreement regarding the Red Hawk Project. WCA has comes to the Town and asked to change the denomination of the bonds from $100,000 to $250,000. Hm-vie Davis is recommending approval of Resolution No. 95-36. Dan Hochuli: He has reviewed the amendment and also talked with the Town's Bond attorney. Scott Ruby! WCA Communities Attorney: There are two minor amendments to the Development Agreement. One has to do with the reserve fund, where the Ian~uage prior to this time required WCA to have a debt service reserve fund equal to the lesser of one years debt service or the amount allowed by Federal Tax Laws. In that instance the debt service reserve fund would have been $1.2 million. They want to up that reserve fund 10% of the outstanding principal amount of the bonds, which would up the reserve fund to $1.6 million. The second change involves the ability to issue the bonds in public placement under only certain circumstances. No individual bond bolder would hold less than $250,000, that was selected because it represents a very high number, which virtually eliminates any retail market. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: Raising the bonds to $250,000, does Franklin Funds grade it higher because they are not available to the retail market. Scott Ruby: That is correct. Herb Kal: Is there a time table as far as the perspective. Scott Ruby: The amended Development Agreement includes a provision that requires WCA to submit a certificate of compliance to the Town, showing that all requirements have been met. In conjunction with the certificate they intend to provide the Town with a number of items for its review. Dan Hochuli: The Town would sign a "receipt" stating they have seen everything involving the bonds. The Town does not say it is O.K., just that they have seen all the information. The Town's only duty is to see that WCA completes all the duties they promised they would. Scott Ruby: We have provided a preliminary official statement, because of the nature of the negotiations of the sale, they are able to include the principal amount and the interest rate. On Friday the District Governing Board is scheduled to conduct a meeting wherein they will be asked to formally adopt a Bond Resolution which excepts the offer of Franklin Funds. The Town will receive the final official statement. A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton Jr. and carried unanimously to approve Resolution No. 95-36. B. Santa Cruz Flood Protection - Transfer of Federal and State Moneys from Pima 2 County to the Town of Marana - Suggestion by Pima County Supervisor Ed Moore. Hurvie Davis: Several weeks ago he was contacted and alerted to the fact that there was an item on the County Board of Superx/isor's Agenda relating to transferi/mg Federal and State moneys to the Town. He called Pima County Staff as to what the objective was, they were at a loss. He went to the Board of Supervisors meeting to find out what was going on. Supervisor Moore had put the item on the agenda and he was not at the meeting when the issue came up, so the Board delayed the item, Mr. Moore stated that he wanted to transfer the Federal and State moneys to the Town so they could determined the schedule for Bank Protection along the Santa Cruz River at their pleasure, He inquired about the transfer of local moneys from the County to match the Federal and State moneys, that issue was not addressed. He did tell the Board that the Town Council had not addressed this issue and he was not in a position to speak for them. He felt that it would be best at this time for the money to remain with Pima County Flood Control District. Mr. Davis contacted Mr. Moore's office to ask him to attend the meeting tonight to explain his objective, Mr. Davis was advised Mr. Moore would be at the meeting but he is not in attendance. He talked with Mr. Huckleberry regarding this issue and he was unable to provide any further information. Brad DeSpain, Utilities Director: Mr. DeSpain stated that Mr. Moore contacted him shortly before 5:00 p.m. and told him that he would not be able to make it this evening. He did reiterate his thoughts of transferring the funds if it legally can be done. The conversation turned to drafting an IGA whereby the Town would get the funds in the Town's name so then the Town could negotiate with the County. Mr. DeSpain's feeling is that the Town should continue to try and work with the County. They are scheduled to start the Avra Valley bridge in June of 1996. Mr. Moore also talked to Mr. DeSpain about taxing the sewer plant, he feels that this can be done legally. Mr. Moore did admit for the first time that perhaps the County has caused the Town some problems with the effluent in the River. He has asked Mr. Moore to put this in writing. Herb Kai: Was Mr. Moore's intention to get the money to Marana to guarantee that the Town would have it in its hands. Brad DeSpain: His opinion was to get it in the Town's hands so if complications occurred the Town would have the money in hand. There may be some advantages to having the money in hand, he is not sure if they are greater than trying to work with the County and keep the June 1996 target on line. Ora Harn: What would keep the County from pulling down those funds and earmarking them for the Town of Marana and putting them somewhere where the Town could gain maybe a year and a half interest on the funds. Brad DeSpain: He is not sure what it takes to get the funds transferred from the State or Federal. Tony Paez, Pima County: This is the first time he has attended a Marana Town Council Meeting. The money is not received until it has been spent, so the Federal Government is getting the interest. If the Town was to take the money, they would have to show the expenditure and then be reimbursed later. Some of the things that have occurred that could play a part: Congress appropriated $3.5 million, but they are going to spend $1.0 million to protect their CAP stipend. The other $2.5 million has been designated for this project only, it cannot be moved elsewhere. The majority of the money would be in kind based on the agreement the Board presented in 1990 and also the levee money. There is still a long ways to go. If the Town was to take that $2.5 million they would still have to look at funding the majority to budget the levee. As stated before the County is on schedule for June of 1996 for the Avra Valley Bridge. Mr. Huckleberry will be sending Hurvie a letter stating that this levee is one of the top priorities. We do have IGAs with the State and today the Board approved the IGAs with the State, that was required because it was going to expire June 30, 1995. 3 O~O'N~ ~0, 1995 Ora Ham: We are going to need to go back over whatever new alignment has been put in the the levee placement. We will need to get lease agreements and everything put together. She would hope that the County would keep that in mind so that somewhere in the interim it could all be updated and the lease agreements signed. We have contacted all of the people who have property along the river, except ASARCO. We found a lot of agreement on this issue, but the Town would need time to get everything worked out. It would be nice if everything was done by June of 1996. Tony Paez: We are moving along with the planning and that is one of the things they are working on. Hurvie Davis: The first 50-60% of the project of Phase lA is in the County. Carl Winters: He would reemphasize one of the things Tony said, their budget hearing is Thursday. It would be prudent to contact the Supervisors and request they not lower taxes in Green Valley. That is what happen last year with the Flood Control Budget. C. Public Hearing/Adoption of Budget - Resolution No. 95-31. Hurvie Davis: On June 6, 1995 thc Tentative Budget for 95-96 was before Council, it was adopted. There are no significant changes in the budget, but pointed out that there is a new automobile program for the Mayor and Council, it shifted to Public Works. Mr. Davis also reviewed other aspects of the budget. There is also a retirement plan that is funded for the Town employees for the first time. A 5% pay increase is also included to keep the Town within the target market and also a 5% merit increase. This will not satisfy all the employees but the Town is moving in the right direction. Mayor Honea declared Council in Public Hearing No comments were made from the Public Mayor Honea declared Council out of Public Hearing Ora Harn: She would like to know what provisions are being made in case the annexation did not go through. She does not feel the Town will lose the annexation. Roy Cuaron: At this point there are no specific contingencies for losing the annexation. He thinks all the new hires have presumably been told that if the Town loses the annexation, their positions would probably be eliminated. Hurvie Davis: We do have some staying power. We don't plan on losing the annexation, we feel very comfortable, but until the Court actually decides it still an issue. Ora Ham: Does Mr. Cuaron feel comfortable with this budget and with the fall back plan. Roy Cuaron: His opinion is that overall the departmental requests, for the most part, were all reasonable. He doesn't think there was anything that any of the departments requested that he felt was unreasonable. The one aspect of the budget that he is not particularly pleased about or that really serves notice that we need to be cautious is that we are having to use savings or surplus moneys to fund current operations. If we could find another way to increase the revenues by $2.0 million and not use the reserve, he would prefer that. Herb Kal: Is there is an optimistic time table the Town could survive if the annexation did fall down. Hurvie Davis: He would estimate staying power of six months. Excluding the Ina/Thornydale Road area, other parts of Town are beginning to grow as well. Roy Cuaron: He has not done any calculations as to what would be the effect if the Town lost the annexation with respect to the corresponding expenditures. The Water Department's budget as presented is going to require the Town to reallocate about $65,000 in CDBG funds back to the Water Dept. and also $33,000 in general fund subsidies. A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Herb Kal and carried unanimously to approve Resolution No. 95-31. D. Temporary Use Permit - For an amusement ride in the Sports Park, known as Ricky's Rocket, AKA a (Vertical Accelerator}. This proposal is located .just south of the southwest corner of I~lO and Ina Road. A motion was made Bobby Sutton Jr., seconded by Ora Harn and carried unanimously to withdraw this item from consideration until such time the material requested for proper review is submitted and reviewed. E. Update on the Marana Fun Day at the Sports Park - Fire workst tickets, etc. Hurvie Davis: We have a great day planned at the Sports Park in Marana. We have been working on this with the people from the Sports Park and Dave Rauch is here this evening to give the Council an update on the event. Dave Rauch~ Manager of Sports Park: He believes it will be the best July 4th show in Town. Tuesday the Fourth there will be volleyball and softball tournaments during the day. The gates will open at 4:00 p.m. for the Marana Fun Day, anybody is welcome to attend the tournaments before hand. Over 10,000 parking passes are being distributed and parking is on a first come first serve basis for on site parking, approximately 2500-2700 spaces are available. We have hired eight off duty officers from the Town and rented two patrol cars. Rural Metro donated an ambulance and crew that will be dedicated to tile event. Northwest Fire District will provide fire coverage during the fireworks display. Bobby Sutton Jr.: From looking at the prices this year, they are much lower than the past years. Regarding the parking passes, how are they being distributed. Dave Rauch: Avra Valley Update will have a parking pass in each issue. There is also parking passes available at Town Hall, Town Hall Annex and at Sports Park. Bobby Sutton Jr.: What type of marketing strategies are being used to get the word out. Dave Rauch: There are radio and television spots advertising the event. There is also a billboard on 1-10 and ads in the Tucson newspapers. He feels that the event will draw between 5,000-6,000 people, which can be handled at the Park. Herb Kal: He is concerned with the parking and traffic congestion. Dave Rauch: First the paved area will be used, 550 spots. The area to the south will hold approximately 1500 cars and the third area is north of Fun City. He wants parking staff on site at 3:30 p.m. Mayor Honea: If people are in a rush to get a parking spot, they will be showing up earlier than that. Dave Rauch: Will look at possibly having the officers come in at 3:00 p.m. Ora Harn: Have arrangements been made for disabled parking. Dave Rauch: There is disabled parking and he wants to make additional spots for a total of 25 disable parking places. Hurvie Davis: What is the cost of the fireworks display alone. Dave Rauch: He believes it is between $15,000 and $18,000. F. Kroecker Annexation - Annexation o[ a 38.5 acre parcel located in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 31 of Township 11 South, Range 12 East, approximately oue mile east of the I-I0 and Tangerine Road interchange. Iturvie Davis: This is approximately a 40 acre parcel on the north side of Tangerine Road. The Town is ready to proceed with the next step which is collecting the signatures. Jerry FIannery: He would like to add that Staff feels that this is a logical extension of the Town boundaries and complies with the goals that were set by the Task Force. The procedures for annexation have been complied with and Staff has been working on this the last few months. The action could take place at the July 18, 1995 Council meeting. Herb Kal: What kind of revenues could the Town expect from this annexation. Jerry Flannery: When Mr. Trimble came to Staff, the desire was to come into the Town because they felt the Town of Marana had a lot to offer. They had some discussion that they might look at developing the property possibly commercially in the future. Herb Kal: Are they involved in the development business. Jerry Flannery: The gentleman that owns the property is basically a land owner and he has not expressed any intent to develop it of any kind. They just thought they would like to be within the Town. The zoning in the County right now is suburban ranch, which is 3.3 acre lot size, it would probably transition into the Town under R -144 or possibly AG. Mayor Hones declared Council in Public Hearing Mayor Hones declared Council out of Public Hearing G. Adoption of Planning and Zoning Policies and Procedures - Resolution No. 95-35. Hurvie Davis: The Council adopted Policies and Procedures for the conduct of meetings and business some time back, This will establish conduct for the Planning Commission. He would recommend that Council adopt the Policies and Procedures. Dan Hochuli: The draft in Council's packet came from his office. This is cssentially tile same thing that you saw a few months ago from the Town Council's Policies and Procedures. Jerry Flannery: The Commission's authority is not as defined and extensive as Council's. Council also has a set of bylaws that play heavily into the procedures. He feels that these Policies and Procedures are very extensive and address all that they need to know. Before the meeting Mr. Plannery made mention to Mr, Hochuh that the final draft has never been presented to the Planning Commission, it might be more appropriate to have the Commission take a look at the final draft. A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton Jr. and carried unanimously to continue this item until the Planning Commission officially reviews the final draft and makes a recommendation to Council. H. Appoint Town MaRistrate as Juvenile HearinR Officer - Resolution No. 95-33. Hurvie Davis: This is an action before Council this evening to appoint the Town Magistrate as Juvenile Hearing Officer so that he can determine cases involving juveniles. Judge Dillow: The pr/mary motivation behind this Resolution is the Legislators wanted to reduce the congestion of the Juvenile Court. It will give the Town greater flexibility in punishment and probation. Also there is an added benefit ora gang unit as well as a graffiti and drug unit if needed. They told Judge Dillow that they have stationed a probation officer at Marana Junior High School with a computer that the Court can use to communicate with them. He would recommend that Council adopt this Resolution. Dan Hoehuli: He spoke with Judge Dillow yesterday on this issue. Although the Town Council authorizes the Magistrate to under take these offenses, the presiding Judge of Juvenile Court must also give him the power. Judge Dillow felt that the Resolution should list the offenses that is possible for him to hear, an amendment Resolution was drafted. The new Resolution lists nine offenses. Herb Kal: Does the work load permit Judge Dillow to handle these additional cases. Judge Dillow: Monday morning has been allocated solely for juveniles, this will be ample time for Staff to accommodate these cases. A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton Jr. and carried unanimously to approve Resolution No. 95-33. RECESS L American~ Federation of Statet County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) - Request to be authorized by the Town of Marana to represent Town employees with respect to wages and workin!g conditions, Hurvie Davis: Back in March of this year Mr. Davis was visited by Ms. Cindy Falck representing the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Ms. Falck met with Mr. Davis and discussed possibilities of the Town participating in AFSCME on behalf of the employees. Ray Figueroa, Representative for AFSCME: AFSCME works as a partner with Cities, Counties and States, our method is to work together to resolve problems. AFSCME represents approximately 23 million members nationwide. Herb Hat: Concerning the dues, the literature says that 1.3% of each members annual salary including overtime, or a minimum of $10.00-20.00 maximum. Ray Figueroa: $20.00 is thd maximum. The dues structure is set by the membership. Herb Kal: What is the membership in the State of AlSzona. Ray Figueroa: Between 6,000 and 10,000 members. Herb Hal: What about Tucson. Ray Figueroa: Does not have that information tonight. Ora Harn: Her husband is a union member and she is very understanding of unions and their purpose. She is familiar with this organization and respects the work that they have done with employees. She feels this is something the Town's employees have a right to belong to if they so desire. She also supports the Town taking out the contributions for the employees for AFSCME. 7 Bobby Sutton Jr.: He is concerned that being government employees in a right to work state, what does that involve as far as strike potential or anything that might affect the Town. Dan Hochuli: The fact that Arizona is a right to work state indicates that the Town is not required to except or acknowledge any union as an official negotiating body on behalf of the employees. As far as the union's ability to strike, other than the specific entities that are excluded from striking, which is the Police Force, he believes they would have the right to strike. Ray Figueroa: Public employees are prohibited from any stoppage or strike action by law in Arizona. Mayor Honea: He has been a union member and steward. What would be the advantage for Town employees if they joined the union if the Town does not recognize the union as a bargaining unit. Ray Fi~ueroa: There are a lot of benefits that an employee would gain. Life insurance is offered, discounts, training programs, etc. The employees have a right to choose whether they want to join a union or not. Mayor Houea: Do we allow F.O.P. meetings on Town property. Hurvie Davis: No. Mayor Honea: He also has a problem with meetings on Town property. These associations are separate from the Town. He has no objection about taking the money out of payroll checks if the employees want to be members of AFSCME, but he objects to meeting on Town property and also to being recognized as a bargaining entity. Herb Kal: He concurs with Mayor Honea. Would like some input from some of the Town employees to see if they would be interested. Bobby Sutton Jr.: If the employees were coming before Council wanhng to have AFSCME as their bargaining unit it might carry more weight. Hurvie Davis: He feels that employees need to be Town employees first and then union employees. He never felt when he worked with 600 employees for the City of Tucson that there was a need for a union. His recommendation is that Council set up an agreement to collect dues. An informational sheet could be prepared for the employees and distributed in their paychecks and they could decide whether they would like to join or not. Hurvie Davis: An informational sheet could be prepared for the employees and distributed in their paychecks. A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton Jr. and carried unanimously to direct Staff to work with Town employees who wish to join AFSCME and that their contributions be deducted from payroll checks. J. Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC), Marana Community Correctional Treatment Facility {MCCTF} Town of Marana, Draft AEreement, Inmate Work Prol~ram.. Hurvie Davis: This is before Council this evening to work on an agreement with the Department of Corrections and the Marana Training Corporation to enter into a work program with the Town. There has been a lot of progress made on this agreement but there are a couple of unresolved issues still at this time. Basically the program would allow the Town to take advantage of individuals at the center. We cannot mix the work crews, males must work with males and females with females. Another issue was insurance and liability, Mr. Hochuli will speak on this subject. Dan Hochuli: He has been through the Intergovernmental Agreement, he has not had an opportunity to discuss it with anyone at DOC or MTC. He has four or five concerns that he would like to address to the Council. The first is there is a bit of a problem in the contract regarding change in work sites, lfthe Town wants to change the work sites after the agreement is entered into, there needs to be prior approval of the work site. For a work crew that is going to be moving around, he thinks there should be a way to facilitate that. His second concern is that if there is a problem with payment we will work together to resolve the payment. And then indented it says that if it can't be resolved, the Warden gets to decide what is done. He would never recommend any one sign an agreement where you try and work out a payment problem with one side. The agreement indicates that the Town would be provided with a daily inmate roster. The purpose of the inmate roster would be so the Town could check offwho is a D.U.I. inmate and who is not. The agreement contemplates the Town knowing that because those people are paid at different levels. We should know what the person on the work crew is incarcerated for, whether it's D.U.I. or something else. They seem to limit the contract to people doing general maintenance, clean up and minor construction repair, it seems limiting. The Town does not have the right to immediately remove someone if the supervisor of the Town's crew doesn't want that person on the crew. MTC says that they will remove as soon as possible any inmate who does not perform to satisfaction, we need another step that if the supervisor says this is not working, they must be taken off today, not as soon as possible. His strongest concern is that there is a lack of an indemnity clause in the agreement, we are required to carry all the insurance. He recommends against the Town covering all the insurance. If MTC decides at its discretion that an inmate is O.K. to release on the work crew and that inmate does something wrong, that is not the Town's problem. We would have some liability, if the supervisor allows an inmate to do something wrong, it then falls on the Town. Hurvie Da~ris: This was brought to Council this evening to get feedback. Council Member Tom Clark and Vice Mayor Sharon Price toured the facility with Hurvie Davis a couple months ago and they were impressed. Karen Inmau, DeputV Director of MTC: MTC is successfully moving forward in its mission for treatment, education and work. A portion of the people that are housed there are at the point where work is part of the treatment. There is also Community Betterment available where MTC sends skilled and trained supervisors to do tasks, separate from the IGA where the Town hires inmates. She wants the Town to think about this program because it has a lot to offer, this is a different agreement than what is before Council tonight. The inmates are always supervised and transported by trained MTC staff who would work along side Town Staff. Phil Bushley, Deputy Warden~ DOC: This draft being presented to the Town is an idea based document, there is nothing that is not negotiable. On the insurance issue, the inmates are the ward of the State, the State is responsible for them. When inmates work in the community, even though the State is responsible, the Town could be named in a lawsuit. Regarding changing of a work site, MTC basically wants to know is if supervision is available and is it safe. With the payment issue, these employees come at a discount, this is a good deal, He has never had a conflict where they have had to work out that issue. The difference between the IGA and what Ms. Inman is referring to is there is another statute that says can do community betterment. There is no contract or payment it is just a good deed from the State. These inmates are very skilled and are capable of working in many areas. The inmates are screened very carefully before they are put on a crew. Mayor Honea: Maybe some of these problems could be worked out between the Town Staff and MTC. He would like to see this program continue forward. Herb Kal: Thinks maybe Bob Kern should be a member of Staff included, since he would be 9 working with this program as well. Bobby Sutton, Jr.: With the Community Betterment program, MTC has the supervision and carries the insurance. That may be something that could be started sooner than the IGA, as long as everything checks out with the attorney. Dan Hoehuli: He would like to possibly see an agreement that MTC has with some other people that have programs like this one. K. Governor's Office of Highway Safety Grant - Agreement between the Town of Marana and Governor's Office of Highway Safetyt Resolution No. 95-32. Hurvla Davis: The Town submitted a proposal to the Governor's Office back in March for a Traffic Prevention Program to purchase two motorcycles and related equipment. Chief Smith is prepared to enter into this program. This will give the Town advantages to having motorcycles. Chief Dave Smith: He stated that the Ina/Thornydale area, particularly during rush hour, the traffic is very congested. With the patrol vehicles, they have a difficult time getting around the area as everyone else does. After doing research, the only real effective way of doing traffic enforcement and to be mobile in that area is with a motorcycle. It appears that they are seriously considering the Town for a grant. The Governor's Office needs something from the Council stating that Council is willing to accept the money and to commit to the program. There are no additional employees needed, existing officers will he trained. A motion was made by Ora Harn, seconded by Bobby Sutton Jr. and carried unanimously to approve Resolution No. 95-32. L. 1995 League of Arizona Cities and Towns Annual Conference and Festival of Cities and Towns. Hurvie Davis: It is time to start planning for the September Cities and Towns meeting. He would like Council's feelings as to whether or not they want a booth this year. Herb Kal: Was the money well spent last year. Ora Ham: Yes. Ora Haru: The League of Cities and Towns about four or five years ago instituted the Festival of the Cities and Towns. It is an opportunity for Cities and Towns to promote themselves. Last year was the first year the Town of Marana had a booth. $700.00 was spent last year for the event. Mayor Honea: He would encourage as many Council Members as possible to attend. Ora Harn: She has a few ideas for a booth that possibly Council would like to look at. Mayor Honea: He suggested reserving a booth without electricity. He asked Ora Ham to bring Council some information on ideas for a booth. M. Settlement of Robbins vs. Padilla and the Town of Marana lawsuit. Dan Hochuli: This lawsuit involves an accident at the Ina/Thornydale Road intersection. The attorney that was retained by Southwest Risk has settled the case for what he believes to be an effective settleraent. The claim was for $7,400.00, this was not out of the Town's funds but a claim. A motion was made by Ora Haru, seconded by Bobby Sutton Jr. and carried unanimously to ratify the settlement in the Robbins vs. Padilla and the Town of Marana in the amount of $14,600.00 to Mrs. Robbins and $7,167.00 to the Town and that the Council authorize the Mayor to sign the appropriate release documents. 10 N. Mayor's Report Mayor Ed Honea stated he has been in meetings every day. The entities of the Town of Casa Grande, Pinal County Supervisors and the Mayor and Council from Eloy, would like to together with members of the Marana Town Council to talk about NAFTA. The meeting is at 8:30 on July 10, 1995. July 8, 1995 there is a Council Retreat scheduled in Phoenix, There is a shorter retreat scheduled for July 20, 1995 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. with the Council, Appointed Officials and Department Heads. July 27, i995 there will be a 3:00 to 6:00 meeting with the Council and the Planning Commission, the new Policies and Procedures to be discussed. Vice Mayor Price and Mayor Honea have met three or four times in the last couple weeks and have done a lot of work which will be included in the July 5, 1995 Council packet. O. Town Manager's Report Hurvie Davis provided Council with a written report. In addition to the written report late this afternoon he received a correspondence from Pima County regarding the Rural Transit Service Program in Marana. They have submitted a report to Mr. Davis asking the Town of Marana to participate in the cost of these services. X. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS XI.
