[FOLLOWS ITEM X-DJ
Dan Hochuli addressed the Council, gave a brief overview of the contract, stated that there were some changes.
On page 2, at the part that says "...up to MTC's insuranca policy limits" at paragraph 1.4 the words "up to" be
changed to "to the extent of" so that the change will be something like "that they will indemni~ us to the extent of their
insurance policy limits." In addition to that change, Mr. Hochuli wanted "we would not only be a named insured, but
that they would not cancel the policy without us knowing about it." Paragraph 1.4 would read: "MTC shall provide the
Town with a certificate of insurance evidencing the policy described herein and shall include a clause to the effect
that the policy shall not be canceled, or coverage reduced, restricted or limited until 30 days after the Town has
received wdften notice by certified mail of the proposed action." Another change, to page 3, paragraph 1.10,
concems the payment of fees if a lawsuit occurs. Next, on paragraph 2.1, the paragraph stating that the MTC facility
will remain a minimum security facility, MTC had difficulty with the words "as may be approved by the Town." In
paragraph 2.3, there ara two changes: "Two signs will be permitted on interstate 10..." to be removed and at the part
that says "All on-site signage whether on private land or public land and all other written material pertaining to the
facility will refer to the facility as the Marana Community Treatment Facility." In paragraph 4: removed is the phrase
"any applicable Federal, State, or local laws." Added were the words "Marana law." The new phrase is: "Any
violation of this agreement by MTC or any other entity contracting with MTC in relation to the facility shall be treated
as a violation of the Town of Marana Development Code, this Agreement and Marana law." In the next sentence, the
phrase "this shall include...", the word "this" was changed to "such violation". In paragraph 4.3, the words "in which
the violation" are replaced by "for each day a violation". Following the word "remedied" added are the words "after
expiration of the ten day cure period."
Tom Clark asked about page 4 number 3 to make sure the word "pure" was stricken. Dan Hochuli confirmed the
removal of the word.
