Subject: Relating to Liquor Licenses; recommendation to the state liquor board regarding a
New Series 5 (Government) liquor license application submitted by Evelyne Renee
Claire Thorpe on behalf of Mike Jacobs Sports Park, located at 6901 W. Casa Grande
Highway
Discussion:
This application is for a New Series 5 (Government) liquor license at Mike Jacobs Sports Park
located at 6901 W. Casa Grande Highway.
Pursuant to state law, the application was posted at the premises where the business is to be
conducted. The posted notice provided that residents within a one mile radius from the premises
may file written arguments in favor of or opposed to the issuance of the license with the Town
Clerk's Office within 20 days of the posting. As of February 10th, no written arguments were
received by the Clerk's Office for or against the proposed liquor license.
The town's Building, Planning and Legal Departments have reviewed this application to
determine whether the applicant is in compliance with zoning, building and other legal
requirements for the business. Additionally, the Marana Police Department has conducted a local
background check. All departments found the applicant to be in compliance and have no
objections to the issuance of this license.
The Town Council must enter an order recommending approval or disapproval of the application
within 60 days after filing of the application. By state statute, "in all proceedings before the town
council, the applicant bears the burden of showing that the public convenience requires and that
the best interests of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of a license."
If the Council's recommendation is for disapproval, the order must include an attachment stating
the specific reasons for the recommendation of disapproval and including a summary of the
testimony or other evidence supporting the recommendation.
If the Council enters an order recommending approval of the application, then no hearing before
the Arizona state liquor board will take place, unless the director of the DLLC, the liquor board
or a resident within a one mile radius from the premises requests a hearing. If the Council enters
an order recommending disapproval of the application or does not submit a recommendation to
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 5 of 80
the DLLC within the 60-day time period, or if the director, board or a resident within a-one mile
radius from the premises requests a hearing, then the state board will hold a hearing regarding the
application.
At the hearing, the state board will consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to
the granting of the license. The decision of the board to either grant or deny an application will
normally take place within 105 days after the application has been filed, unless the director of the
DLLC deems it necessary to extend the time period.

Subject: Relating to Liquor Licenses; recommendation to the state liquor board regarding the
special event liquor license applications submitted by the TUSD Amigos de la Danza
on behalf of Mike Jacobs Sports Park, 6901 N. Casa Grande Highway for fundraisers

Discussion:
These applications are for special event liquor licenses on behalf of TUSD Amigos de la Danza
on behalf of Mike Jacobs Sports Park, 6901 N. Casa Grande Highway for fundraisers for the
dance troupe. These events do not require an additional special event permit as the venue is

serve spirituous liquor for consumption only on the premises where the spirituous liquor is sold
and only for the period authorized on the license. Qualifying organizations will be granted a
special event license for no more than 10 days in a calendar year. Events must be held on
consecutive days and at the same location or additional licenses will be required. The license is
automatically terminated upon closing of the last day of the event or the expiration of the. license,
whichever occurs first. The qualified organization must receive at least 25 percent of the gross
revenues of the special events. Five applications are being submitted to cover each of the time
periods requested which are chronological but not consecutive.
Pursuant to state law, a person desiring a special event liquor license must request a special event
application from the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC). The applicant then
must file the application with the town for events occurring within the town's limits. The town
may then recommend approval or disapproval of the special event liquor license.
If the special event liquor license applications are approved by the Town Council, and the events
meet the requirements. for granting the license, the director of the DLLC will issue the special
event liquor licenses to the qualifying organization. If the applications are disapproved by the
Town Council, the DLLC will normally not consider the applications.
Attached are the six applications. The event dates are March 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th,
14th, 15th, and 18th, 2010.

COUNCII. CHAMBERS, February 16, 2010, 7:00:00 PM
To: Mayor and Council Item A 1
From: Suzanne Machain ,Human Resources Director
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Progress and Innovation
Subject: Resolution No. 2010-16: Relating to Personnel; approving and authorizing staff to
implement the Separation Incentive Plan (SIP) for fiscal year 2011; and declaring an
emergency
Discussion:
On February 9, 2010, during a special council meeting, staff made a presentation and
recommended adoption of the Separation Incentive Plan (SIP) as one of two voluntary pay
reduction options that could be offered to employees to create savings for FY 2011. This item
required an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the council and only 5 of the 7 council members
were present. Therefore, council directed that this item be returned for consideration at tonight's
meeting.
Similar to last year's plan, the SIP is being offered again for the coming fiscal year for employees
who wish to voluntarily resign or retire from Town employment. The plan incentives are similar
to those in last year's plan with a few exceptions, including a longer election period (giving
employees more time to think about electing this option), a longer period in which to separate,
and a reduced incentive package for those who elect to separate in the latter part of the program.

1. Employees must declare their intent to .participate in the program during the election period
running from March 1 through Apri130, 2010.
2. Employees will be required to submit a written notification of their decision to retire or resign
stating they will leave Town employment in either one of two time periods. Those who elect to
separate employment from July 1 through September 30, 2010, will receive the full incentives
associated with the SIP as described below. Those who elect to separate from employment
October 1 through December 31, 2010, will receive 50°10 of the incentives associated with the
plan.

for COBRA coverage or the ASRS or PSPRS retirement health care coverage and (b) elects coverage under
COBRA, ASRS or PSPRS during the election period. Eligible participants will receive a subsidy of $150
per month for up to six months following their separation to offset the costs of COBRA continuation
coverage or coverage under the participant's retirement health care plan. This subsidy shall be payable
directly to the participant's health care plan. The Town will not pay the subsidy for any other type of health
insurance coverage. The Town will pay the subsidy only for those months that the participant elects

4. Severance Pav. Participants will receive severance pay in an amount equal to a percentage of the
participant's annual base salary multiplied by the participant's length of service with the Town. The
percentage of base salary that will be used to calculate a participant's severance pay will be based upon the
participant's length of service with the Town and the date of separation as elected by the participant as
follows:
Length of Service % of Annual Base Salarv
0 to 10 years 1.5%
>10 to 15 years 1.75%
> 15 years 2.0%
Examples:
• $40,000 annual base salary, 5 years of service:
$40,000 x .015 = $600 x 5 years = $3,000 severance pay
• $40,000 annual base salary, 11 years of service:
$40,000 x .0175 = $700 x 11 years = $7,700 severance pay
• $40,000 annual base salary, 16 years of service:
$40,000 x .02 = $800 x 16 years = $12,800 severance pay
Participants will receive credit for partial years of service under this formula. Notwithstanding this formula, the
total amount of severance pay that will be paid to any participant is capped at a maximum of $50,000.

reason before the end of the six-month period, the Town will discontinue payment of the subsidy as
well. This subsidy does not take the place of any subsidy offered directly by the retirement plan, but is

4. Severance Pav. Participants will receive severance pay in an amount equal to a percentage of the
participant's annual base salary multiplied by the participant's length of service with the Town, then
multiplied by 50%. The percentage of base salary that will be used to calculate a participant's severance
pay will be based upon the participant's length of service with the Town as follows:
Length of Service % of Annual Base Salary

>10 to 15 years 1.75%
> 15 years 2.0%
Examples:

$40,000 x .015 = $600 x 5 years = $3,000 x .50 = $1,500 severance pay

agreement with the Town. Sample separation agreements will be available for employees' review during the
election period. Employees must sign and return the separation agreement to the Human Resources Department

options that could be offered to employees to create cost-savings for FY 2011. This item required
an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the council and only 5 of the 7 council members were
present. Therefore, council directed that this item be returned for consideration at tonight's
meeting.
This item deals specifically with authorization for a voluntary sabbatical program which would
allow employees an opportunity to take time off from work, without pay in FY 2011 in a
minimum of 30-day increments.
A summary of the key features of the Sabbatical plan include:
1. Sabbaticals will be open to all regular full- and part-time Town of Marana classified and
unclassified employees who have successfully completed an initial evaluation
(probationary) period.
2. Employees must declare. their intent to take a sabbatical during the election period running
from March 1 through Apri130, 2010. The election is irrevocable as of close of business April
30, 2010.
3. Time off must be taken in increments of 30 calendar days; 30-day increments can be
contiguous or intermittent. The maximum time off must not exceed 180 calendar days in the
fiscal year.
4. Employees will maintain/accrue all benefits (except for retirement benefits) and seniority
during the Sabbatical period(s) subject to making associated health care premium contributions.
An unpaid Sabbatical will impact an employee's retirement benefit, subject to ASRS and PSPRS
rules. HR will work with employees to consult with the retirement plans in order ensure that
employees fully understand the consequences.
5. Time off is subject to operational considerations and must be approved by the department
head, general manager and town manager.
6. The workload left by the employee on sabbatical must be able to be absorbed by existing
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 42 of 80
staff.
7. Upon completion of a sabbatical, the employee will return to their position if the position is
still available. Should a position not be available due to a reduction in force, the Town's
Personnel Policies and Procedures for layoff will apply.
The Sabbatical program outline is attached to the Resolution for this item.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact of this program will be known by the end of April, 2010. Authorization for
an election period this year (March -April) is being requested so that planning can occur and
proposed savings can be incorporated into the FY 2011 budget preparation.

regular part-time position, from the most recent date of hire.
Eligibility
Regular full- and part-time classified employees who have successfully completed an initial evaluation
period, as defined in the Town's Personnel Policies and Procedures, may voluntarily elect to take a
Sabbatical pursuant to this program. Additionally, regular full- and part-time classified employees
serving in an initial evaluation period in a promotional position, as defined in the Town's Personnel
Policies and Procedures, may voluntarily elect to take a Sabbatical pursuant to this program; however,
any unpaid time off work will not be credited toward the employee's successful completion of the
initial evaluation period in the promotional position. Unclassified employees may voluntarily elect to
take a Sabbatical pursuant to this program.
Policies and Procedures
1. Employees who elect to participate in the Sabbatical Program must identify the number
of Sabbatical days off they will take in FY 2011 by completing a voluntary Sabbatical
election form. This form will be available from the Human Resources Department.
The employee must submit the form to his/her Department Head and General Manager
(if applicable). The employee's Department Head and/or General Manager shall take
into account operational considerations in determining whether to approve or
disapprove the request. If approved, the form will be forwarded to the Human
Resources Department. All forms must be received by Human Resources during the
election period.

EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2010-17
3. Requests for Sabbatical must be approved by the Town Manager before the employee
may take the Sabbatical.
4. Time off must be taken in increments of 30 calendar days; 30-day increments can be
contiguous or intermittent; the employee may take a maximum of 180 calendar days off
as Sabbatical during the fiscal year.
5. Employees who elect a minimum of one Sabbatical period in FY 2011 will not be
subject to any mandatory pay reduction requirements implemented by the Town
Council as part of the FY 2011 budget if the budgetary savings achieved from the
employee's Sabbatical is equivalent to or exceeds the mandatory pay reduction
implemented by Council.
6. Employees who elect to take Sabbatical may still be subject to layoff and/or job
elimination due to a shortage of work or funds or a material change in duties or
organization.
7. The work load of the employee electing Sabbatical must be able to be absorbed by
existing staff in a manner that will not incur overtime costs or additional expenditures.
8. Employees on Sabbatical will maintain their Town and department seniority.
9. While on Sabbatical, benefit-eligible employees will maintain all Town benefits
associated with their current position (e.g. vacation sick leave accruals, health
insurance), with the exception of retirement benefits. State law and ASRS and PSPRS
rules determine an employee's retirement benefits and eligibility (see below). The
Town will continue to pay the Town's portion of the health insurance premium. In
order to remain health benefit eligible, it will be the responsibility of the employee to
make timely payment of the employee's portion, if any, of the health insurance
premium to the Finance Department.
10. A position left unoccupied by an employee on Sabbatical may be filled by a WRAP
assignment if duties and responsibilities associated with the unoccupied position cannot
be absorbed by other personnel.
11. Upon completion of a Sabbatical, the employee will return to his/her position, unless
the Town has experienced a reduction in force and/or reduction in work hours due to a
shortage of work or funds or a material change in duties or organization. If a position is
not available due to a reduction in force, the layoff provisions of the Town's Personnel
Policies and Procedures will apply.
12. Employees on Sabbatical shall not be paid for Town-approved holidays during the
unpaid Sabbatical period.
13. Employees on Sabbatical shall not receive any vehicle or cell phone allowances during
the unpaid Sabbatical period and shall return any Town-issued cell phones or
take-home vehicles to the Town during the unpaid Sabbatical period.
ASRS and PSPRS
For employees participating in the Town's retirement programs (ASRS or PSPRS), unpaid Sabbatical
leave will have an impact on the employee's retirement. Employees considering Sabbatical should
consult with the retirement system to determine how the unpaid- Sabbatical will affect them. The
Human Resources Department will assist employees as appropriate to facilitate employee consultation
with ASRS and PSPRS.

COUNCIL CHAMBERS, February 16, 2010, 7:00:00 PM
To: Mayor and Council Item A 3
From: Suzanne Machain ,Human Resources Director
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Progress and Innovation
Subject: Resolution No. 2010-18: Relating to Personnel; approving and adopting amendments
to the Worker Recession Assignment Program (WRAP)
Discussion:
On February 9, 2010, during a special council meeting, staff made a presentation and
recommended adoption of an amended WRAP program. This item was discussed in conjunction
with two other items (the Separation Incentive Program (SIP) and the Sabbatical program) that
required an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the council and only 5 of the 7 council members
were present. Therefore, council directed that all three items be returned for consideration at
tonight's meeting.
The WRAP was originally adopted as part of the FY 2010 budget reduction tools and remains in
use as a valuable tool for the Town during these difficult economic times. After nine months of
experience with the program, the program is being brought to Council for amendment aimed at
clarifying certain provisions.
The WRAP allows the Town to ensure workforce stability and institutional knowledge and to
fully utilize organizational talent by providing a system where staff can be assigned to where they
are most effective. The program allows for voluntary or directed reassignments for classified
staff. The revised WRAP clarifies that time worked by the employee in the WRAP assignment
will count for probationary time if the employee is subsequently assigned to the position on a
permanent basis.
Further, the layoff provision now more clearly states that if a WRAP assignment ends and the
employee's regular position is or has been eliminated, only employees who remain in voluntary
reassignments will not be subject to layoff. If an employee's regular position is impacted by
layoff, the employee in the voluntary WRAP assignment, with a performance rating of
"consistently meets" or higher, will not be subject to layoff action while on the assignment,
regardless of seniority. An employee in a directed assignment will be subject to all layoff
provisions if a layoff occurs in his/her regular classification.
The full program outline is attached for review and consideration.

WORKER RECESSION ASSIGNMENT PROGRAM (WRAP)
PROGRAM OUTLINE
The Worker Recession Assignment Program (WRAP) is designed to maintain the Town's
organizational health during these unprecedented economic times, positioning the Town
for a quick rebound when the economic recovery begins. The primary objective of the
WRAP is to ensure the stability of the Town's workforce by maintaining and fully using
the talent that exists within the organization. The WRAP protects institutional memory
and the expertise that is developed from employee longevity and experience within the
Town organization. The WRAP addresses the Marana Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Progress and Innovation.
WRAP Period
A. The Town Manager is authorized to institute a WRAP period based upon an
analysis of the budget and revenue needs of the Town. The Town Manager may
consider implementing a WRAP period when the Town's major sources of
revenue show a sustained decline year over year for two consecutive quarters or
when the Town's budgeted expenditures exceed actual revenues for two
consecutive quarters. The declines and/or revenue losses do not need to occur in
the same fiscal year.
B. Once a WRAP period has been declared by the Town Manager, the provisions of
the WRAP shall apply to eligible employee participants. All eligible position
vacancies shall be subject to evaluation for a WRAP assignment during this
period.
WRAP Definition
A. The WRAP is a Town-wide work reassignment program for all classified
employees to allow rapid deployment of employees from one position or
assignment to another throughout the Town of Marana. The program provides for
voluntary reassignments and directed reassignments as work is available, in the
sole opinion of the Town Manager, or the Town Magistrate for Municipal Court
positions.
1. Voluntary Reassignment -applies to a current regular full-time or part-time
classified employee who voluntarily requests and moves to a WRAP
assignment. The provisions of this policy related to Voluntary Reassignment
shall govern the employment of employees who seek and accept a voluntary
reassignment.
Regular CoI1Q~e~ti~CFe1tl+ruary 16, 2010 -Page 50 of 80
EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2010-18
2. Directed Reassignment -applies to a current regular full-time or part-time
classified employee who is directed to move into a WRAP assignment (non-
voluntary). The provisions of this policy related to Directed Reassignment
shall govern the employment of employees who are directed by the appointing
authority into a WRAP assignment.
B. WRAP assignments fall into one of the following categories based on workload
needs:
Special Project WRAP - A WRAP assignment may include a special project
or series of projects. Typically a Special Project WRAP is created when the
Town identifies planned and budgeted work that can be done "in-house," that
might otherwise be performed through contracts or consulting services outside
of the organization. During a declared WRAP period, all special project type
work shall be reviewed for a WRAP assignment unless it has been determined
by the Town Manager that the project is exempt from the WRAP.
a. A Special Project WRAP shall have an estimated beginning and
ending date with specific objectives and deliverables.
b. Employees serving in a Special Project WRAP shall report to the
supervisor and department responsible for each project they have been
assigned.
c. A Special Project WRAP may be full or part-time and may supplement
an employee's workload in addition to work being performed in his or
her regular position. However, additional work assignments shall not
result in regular or routine overtime expenses for non-exempt
employees.
d. An employee may hold one or more Special Project WRAP
assignment in addition to, or in lieu of, his or her regularly assigned
work. However, multiple assignments should not be made where such
assignment(s) result(s) in regular or routine overtime expenses for
non-exempt employees.
e. The Human Resources Director, in consultation with the Department
Head, shall establish the qualifications needed for placement into a
Special Project WRAP.
f. The Town Manager may end a Special Project WRAP assignment at
any time.
2. Vacant Position WRAP - A WRAP assignment may be related to the
performance of all or a portion of the essential functions of a vacant position.
During a declared WRAP period, all vacant positions shall be reviewed for a
WRAP assignment, unless it has been determined by the Town Manager that
the position will not be filled or the position is exempt from the WRAP. This
determination will be made on the Town's personnel requisition form.
Regular CoI1ti~LFe1t~ruary 16, 2010 -Page 51 of 80
EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2010-18
a. If workload warrants the filling of a vacant position and the
recruitment is authorized by the Town Manager, the Human Resources
Director, in consultation with the Department Head shall determine if
all or a portion of the essential functions of the position may be
performed as a WRAP assignment.
b. Positions in classifications requiring specific professional certifications
or technical training/education may be exempted from the WRAP by
the Town Manager, upon recommendation of the Department Head
and Human Resources Director. This may include, but not be limited
to, classifications requiring Arizona POST certification and positions
where professional designations such as "Professional Engineer (PE),"
or "Certified Public Accountant (CPA)," are immediately required or
desirable. The Human Resources Director shall maintain a list of
classifications exempt from the WRAP in order to expedite
recruitment.
c. Once the Town Manager has approved a vacant position or portion of
a vacant position for inclusion in the WRAP, the Human Resources
Director, in consultation with the Department Head, shall establish the
qualifications needed for placement. The Human Resources Director
shall establish an internal competitive process for selection and
appointment to a WRAP position.
d. The Town Manager may end a Vacant Position WRAP assignment at
any time.
WRAP Duration
A. The Town Manager is authorized to institute a WRAP period for the period of
time he or she deems necessary, up to 36 months, based upon an analysis of the
budget and revenue needs of the Town.
B. The Town Manager may extend a WRAP period after the first 36 months, with
Town Council approval. If a WRAP period is extended, the provisions of the
WRAP shall continue to apply to participants who are working in voluntary or
directed reassignment positions and to all eligible position vacancies and special
project work.
C. A WRAP assignment (either special project or vacant position, voluntary or
directed) may begin and end at any time during a WRAP period with approval of
the Town Manager or designee. When a WRAP assignment ends, the employee
may be returned to his/her primary job responsibilities if the employee's regular
position is available.

EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO.2010-18
WRAP Requirements for Participants
All regular full-time and part-time classified employees are eligible to .participate in the
WRAP, subject to the following conditions:
A. Performance Evaluation. The employee's performance history shall be
considered in a WRAP assignment. The employee's most recent performance
evaluations for the past 12-month period in his or her regular classification must
be at the level of "met with some improvement needed" or higher. Upon
placement into a WRAP assignment, employees shall be evaluated per the Town's
Personnel Policies and Procedures. An employee serving in a different
classification shall be subject to a probationary period for that classification.
Informal evaluations should be conducted during the course of the evaluation
period to assess performance and to advise the employee of expectations
regarding performance. The employee must maintain a performance evaluation
rating of "consistently met" or higher during the period of the WRAP assignment.
If a "consistently met" rating is not maintained, the employee will return to his or
her regular position, if it is available. If the regular position is no longer
available, a layoff will occur in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Town's
Personnel Policies and Procedures.
B. Discipline. At the time of application for a WRAP assignment, or direction to a
WRAP assignment, an employee must not have been subject to a work
improvement plan or have received any formal discipline, including a
documented verbal reprimand, for the preceding 12 months. If an employee is
subject to a work improvement plan or formal discipline during the WRAP
assignment, the employee may be returned to his/her primary job responsibilities
and regular position, if available.
C. Essential Functions. The employee must be willing and able to perform the
essential functions of the WRAP assignment with or without a reasonable
accommodation.
D. Job-Required Certifications. The employee must agree to obtain any special
certifications required by the WRAP assignment or position within asix-month
period of accepting the assignment or position. The employee must maintain
those certifications for the duration of the WRAP assignment. The Town shall pay
for those certifications that are required by the Town.
E. Background. An employee shall be required to meet all employment history and
background requirements for placement in a WRAP assignment or position.
F. Equivalent Work Hours. The WRAP is not a tool to increase apart-time
position to a full-time position. Where possible, employees participating in a
Regular CoI1Q~ti~CFe1t~ruary 16, 2010 -Page 53 of 80
EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2010-18
WRAP assignment or position will receive the same number of regular work
hours (i.e. 8 hours to 8 hours; 6 hours to 6 hours, etc.) as the employee receives in
his or her regular position.
WRAP Recruitment and Placement Process
The Town will make every effort to place interested employees in a WRAP assignment
that provides the best match between employees' regular positions and their education,
skills and abilities. However, the Town is not required to make an equivalent match in
classification and/or compensation. The Human Resources Director is responsible for
developing specific procedures to effect recruitment and placement activities for WRAP
assignments. Overall responsibilities shall include the following:
A. The Human Resources Director, in consultation with the Department Head,
shall identify the minimum requirements of a WRAP assignment and a
description of the assignment, including essential functions.
B. The Human Resources Director shall develop a method for employees to
identify their related education, experience and transferrable skills as a
supplement to an employment application for a WRAP assignment.
C. The Human Resources Director shall post all Special Project WRAP and
Vacant Position WRAP assignments internally (within the Town) for
consideration by all classified Town employees, including employees of the
Municipal Court.
D. Where multiple applicants vie for the same voluntary WRAP assignment, the
Human Resources Director shall ensure a competitive selection process, using
standard human resources best practices. The final selection among multiple
voluntary applicants shall be made by the Department Head of the department
where the assignment is located. The provisions outlined in this policy for a
Voluntary Reassignment shall apply to the selected applicant.
E. If no applications are received for a WRAP. assignment, the Human Resources
Director shall work with all Department Heads to identify positions within the
Town where the workload has decreased or is expected to decrease due to
economic conditions and/or reorganization of workload where financial and
operating efficiencies can be achieved. Employees in positions affected by such a
change in workload may be moved to a WRAP by Directed Reassignment. If this
occurs, the provisions outlined in this policy for a Directed Reassignment shall
apply to the employee being directed to a WRAP assignment.
Regular CoI1i~~Fe~ruary 16, 2010 -Page 54 of 80
EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2010-18
Pay and Benefits During a WRAP Assignment
A. The Human Resources Director shall be responsible for recommending the
rate of pay or pay range for a WRAP assignment using standard human
resources best practices for pricing jobs and work assignments. The Town
Manager or designee shall approve the pay or pay range for the WRAP
assignment orposition.
B. The Town's Personnel Policies and Procedures concerning lateral transfer,
demotion or promotion shall govern an employee's rate of pay while
performing a WRAP assignment. Any salary change shall be temporary
during the period of the WRAP assignment.
C. An employee shall retain all leave, health and welfare benefits provided by the
Town's Personnel Policies and Procedures while serving in a WRAP
assignment. This includes leave accrual and service credit toward seniority
and leave accrual rates.
Promotion/Demotion/Transfer during a WRAP Assignment
A. A WRAP assignment is intended to be a temporary assignment. If a WRAP
assignment is based on a vacant position that the Town Manager has determined
will be filled on an ongoing basis, an employee serving in the position as a
Voluntary Reassignment may request placement into this assignment on a regular
basis after serving six months in the WRAP assignment provided the employee
maintained a performance evaluation rating of "consistently meets" or higher
while in the WRAP assignment. If the employee has already served a
probationary period in the classification, the employee will not be required to
serve another probationary period in the classification.
B. If an employee's regular position is eliminated due to layoff during his/her tenure
in a WRAP assignment, the employee may be offered the opportunity to
transfer/demote/promote into the WRAP assignment provided that:
1. A regular vacant position exists for the WRAP assignment;
2. The employee maintained a performance rating of "consistently met" or
higher while in the WRAP assignment; and the employee agrees to serve
in a full probationary period as required by the position unless already
served; and
3. Employees who are working in a Voluntary Reassignment are given
preference over employees working in a Directed Reassignment for
regular placement in a vacant position.
C. All placements under this section must be approved by the Town Manager, upon
recommendation of the Department Head and the Human Resources Director,
Regular CoI1Q~ti~CFelt~+ruary 16, 2010 -Page 55 of 80
EXHIBIT A TO MARANA RESOLUTION N0.2010-18
prior to finalization. All Town policies related to seniority, promotion, demotion,
or transfer shall apply when an employee is placed into a vacant position on a
regular basis, except that any probationary time required in the vacant position
shall be offset by credit for time served in the WRAP Assignment.
Coordination of WRAP Assignment with Reduction In Force (Lay-off) Policies
An employee shall retain seniority in his/her regular classification while performing work
in a WRAP assignment. In the event of a layoff in the employee's regular classification,
all provisions of Chapter 8 of the Town's Personnel Policies and Procedures shall apply,
with the following modifications:
A. Voluntary Reassignment - An employee who has volunteered for a WRAP
assignment and has maintained a performance rating of "consistently meets" or
higher in the WRAP assignment shall not be subject to a layoff action while in a
voluntary WRAP assignment, regardless of seniority. If multiple employees
within a regular classification are serving in a Voluntary Reassignment WRAP,
layoff of those employees shall be based on the criteria contained in Chapter 8 of
the Town's Personnel Policies and Procedures after all employees who are not
holding a Voluntary Reassignment are laid off (including employees in a directed
reassignment).
B. Directed Reassignment - An employee who has been placed in a directed
reassignment shall be subject to all layoff provisions if a layoff occurs in his or
her regular classification regardless of the duration of the WRAP assignment.
C. If a WRAP assignment ends and the employee's regular position is or has been
eliminated, only employees who remain in Voluntary Reassignments will not be
subject to the layoff provisions.
Not Subiect to Personnel Action Review Process
The duration, appointment and removal of an employee from a WRAP assignment, either
directed or voluntary, special assignment or vacant position, is not subject to review
formally, informally or under any internal review process provided for by the Town's
Personnel Policies and Procedures.

WRAP Definition
A. The WRAP is a Town-wide work reassignment program for all classified
employees to allow rapid deployment of employees from one position or
assignment to another throughout the Town of Marana. The program provides for
voluntary reassignments and directed reassignments as work is available, in the
sole opinion of the Town Manager, or the Town Magistrate for
Municipal Court positions.
1. Voluntary Reassignment -applies to a current regular full-time or part-time
classified employee who voluntarily requests and moves to a WRAP
assignment. The provisions of this policy related to Voluntary Reassignment
shall govern the employment of employees who seek and accept a voluntary
reassignment.
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 57 of 80
2. Directed Reassignment -applies to a current regular full-time or part-time
classified employee who is directed to move into a WRAP assignment (non-
voluntary). The provisions of this policy related to Directed Reassignment
shall govern the employment of employees who are directed by the appointing
authority into a WRAP assignment.
B. WRAP assignments fall into one of the following categories based on workload
needs:
Special Project WRAP - A WRAP assignment may include a special project
or series of projects. Typically a Special Project WRAP is created when the
Town identifies planned and budgeted work that can be done "in-house," that
might otherwise be performed through contracts or consulting services outside
of the organization. During a declared WRAP period, all special project type
work shall be reviewed for a WRAP assignment unless it has been determined
by the Town Manager that the project is e~c-empted~zt from the WRAP.
a. A Special Project WRAP shall have an estimated beginning and
ending date with specific objectives and deliverables.
b. Employees serving in a Special Project WRAP shall report to the
supervisor and department responsible for each project they have been
assigned.
c. A Special Project WRAP may be full or part-time and may supplement
an employee's workload in addition to work being performed in
them is or her regular position. However, additional work
assignments shall not result in regular or routine overtime expenses for
non-exempt employees.
d. An employee may hold one or more Special Project WRAP
assignment in addition to, or in lieu of, thei~hi~sar._h~t regularly
assigned work. However, multiple assignments should not be made
where such assignment(s) result(s) in regular or routine overtime
expenses for non-exempt employees.
e. The Human Resources Director, in consultation with the Department
Head, shall establish the qualifications needed for placement into a
Special Project WRAP.
f. The Town .Manager may end a Special Project WRAP assignment at
any time.
2. Vacant Position WRAP - A WRAP assignment may be related to the
performance of all or a portion of the essential functions of a vacant position.
During a declared WRAP period, all vacant positions shall be reviewed for a
WRAP assignment, unless it has been determined by the Town Manager that
the position will not be filled or the position is e~~tedgxemc~t from the
WRAP. This determination will be made on the Town's personnel requisition
form.
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 58 of 80 2
a. If workload warrants the filling of a vacant position and the
recruitment is authorized by the Town Manager, the Human Resources
Director, in consultation with the Department Head shall determine if
all or a portion of the essential functions of the position may be
performed as a WRAP assignment.
b. Positions in classifications requiring specific professional
certifications or technical training/education may be exempted from
the WRAP by the Town Manager, upon recommendation of the
Department Head and Human Resources Director. This may include,
but not be limited to, classifications requiring Arizona POST
certification and positions where professional designations such as
"Professional Engineer (PE)," or "Certified Public Accountant
(CPA)," are immediately required or desirable. The Human Resources
Director shall maintain a list of classifications exempt from the WRAP
in order to expedite recruitment.
c. Once the Town Manager has approved a vacant position or portion of
a vacant position for inclusion in the WRAP, the Human Resources
Director, in consultation with the Department Head, shall establish the
qualifications needed for placement. The Human Resources Director
shall establish an internal competitive process for selection and
appointment to a WRAP position.
d. The Town Manager may end a Vacant Position WRAP assignment at
any time.
WRAP Duration
A. The Town Manager is authorized to institute a WRAP period for the period of
time he or she deems necessary, up to 36 months, based upon an analysis of the
budget and revenue needs of the Town.
B. The Town Manager may extend a WRAP period after the first 36 months, with
Town Council approval. If a WRAP period is extended, the provisions of the
WRAP shall continue to apply to participants who are working in voluntary or
directed reassignment positions and to all eligible position vacancies and special
project work.
C. A WRAP assignment (either special project or vacant position, voluntary or
directed) may begin and end at any time during a WRAP period with approval of
the Town Manager or designee. T~ ''~~° ^^^~~r~, ~HWhen a WRAP assignment
~nd~s th employee may be returned to his/her primary job responsibilities if the

COUNCIL CHAMBERS, February 16, 2010, 7:00:00 PM
To: Mayor and Council Item A 4
From: Frank Cassidy ,Town Attorney
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Commerce, Community Building
Subject: Resolution No. 2010-19: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing the
Mayor to execute a Barnett Channel Excavation Development Agreement with Reyher
Partnership and Marana 348 Limited Partnership
Discussion:
The Town is in the process of developing a regional public drainage facility in the vicinity of
Barnett Road, commonly referred to as the "Barnett Channel." The Barnett Channel has now
been partially excavated between Sandario Road and Sanders Road as a source of fill dirt for the
Town's Camino de Mariana roadway project. Additional excavation is required for the Barnett
Channel.
Greg Wexler, on behalf of Reyher Partnership and Marana 348 Limited Partnership, the owners
of the remaining undeveloped land in Marana's Town Center north and northwest of the Marana
Municipal Complex, has requested to excavate portions of the Barnett Channel at no cost to the
Town in exchange for his right to place and use the excavated Barnett Channel dirt on his
remaining undeveloped Marana Town Center land.
The proposed agreement accommodates Mr. Wexler's request using language consistent with a
corresponding provision in the Marana Health Center Development Agreement approved by the
Council on June 17, 2008. It allows excavation of dirt from the Barnett Channel on a first come
first served basis in a manner consistent with the Barnett Channel design plans and with
demonstration to the Town Engineer's satisfaction that the resulting pit will drain within 36
hours.
The proposed agreement includes a Council finding that the Town is receiving sufficient
consideration for the value of the dirt based on (1) the value of the Barnett Channel excavation,
(2) the improved drainage characteristics of the Town Center resulting from the placement of the
dirt, and (3) the economic development benefits of having the Town Center lands filled in
preparation for development.
Financial Impact:
The Town does not anticipate incurring any out-of-pocket costs in connection with this proposed
development agreement. However, allowing the Barnett Channel dirt to be used for fill on the
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 66 of 80
Town Center may leave the Town without a ready source of fill for Town projects in the future,
thereby requiring the Town to find another fill source at potentially higher cost. On the other
hand, this higher material cost may be offset by cost savings the Town may experience as a result
of not having to pay for the excavation.

ISSUE 5 -FEBRUARY 5, 2010
Sixth Special Session
On Monday, February 1, 2010 Governor Brewer called for a Sixth Special Session to occur
concurrently with the 49th Second Regular Session. The purpose of the call was to address the
budget shortfall in FY 2010, specifically the following points of Executive interest:
• Referral of a temporary three-year one-cent sales tax increase to be retained 100% by the
state government;
• Delaying education payments and doing more leases of state buildings;
• Pro-rating income tax deductions for out of state filers; and
• Securitizing state proceeds from the Arizona Lottery
On Tuesday, the Senate took bi-partisan action on the following set of budget bills:
• SB 1001 statewide special election
SB 1002 budget reconciliation, appropriations, education
• SB 1003 revenue bonds, lease-purchase finance
• SB 1004 state lottery, authorization
• SB 1005 standard deduction, nonresidents, prorate
• SCR 1001 temporary sales tax, repeal
The bills were assigned to the Senate Natural Resources, Infrastructure and Public Debt Committee,
rather than the Appropriations Committee. The bills passed out of Committee, Caucus, Rules,
Committee of the Whole and Third Read that afternoon.
On Thursday, the House passed the set of bills through the Appropriations Committee before going
through Caucus, Rules and the Committee of the Whole. Only SB 1001 and SCR 1001, the bills that
address the temporary sales tax increase, were passed on Third Read.
The League has reviewed all of the budget proposals for their impact on cities and towns, and
found the primary bill of interest is SB 1004, which contains changes to the lottery. The
securitization, essentially. borrowing against future lottery proceeds, will be directed at the state
general fund portion for debt repayment, at least for the next two years. Other lottery distributions
are left intact, provided there are funds available after the debt service has been paid. This
currently retains the structure for accounts such as LTAF I and II and Heritage Fund, but only after
other. obligations have been meta It is still not certain if those other accounts wilt be retained once
the lottery has been reauthorized by the voters in a November 2010 election.

Any legislative process is a moving target and the League will keep its members updated on this
special session through Sine Die.
Update: Dual Session
The week of February 1, 2010 was an exciting one at the State Legislature. The bill "drop' deadline
has now passed for the Senate (February 1st) with the House deadline rapidly approaching
(February 8th). As noted above, six special session bills have made their way through the Senate;
the House voted on and passed two of the special session bills (SB1001-statewide special election
and SCR1001-temporary sales tax; repeat) and adjourned until February 8th.
To date 1,120 bills have been introduced along with 112 memorials and resolutions (the preceding
count includes bills from the 6th Special Session). League staff has reviewed all introduced bills to
determine any potential impact on cities and towns. Numerous committee meetings have taken
place in both chambers with few ensuing regular session floor votes.
Impact Fees (HB 2249 and HB 2259)
Despite a new two-year freeze in impact fee rates and other changes to the impact fee statutes
that went into effect in late November 2009, the House Government Committee passed two bills
this week that make additional changes to impact fee statutes. The bills, requested by the Central
Arizona Homebuilders Association and sponsored by Rep. Andy eggs (R-Qlbert), revisit items that
have been the subject of hours of negotiations in previous years. However, there was no discussion
with the League or its members before these bills showed up this session.
The League opposed both bills in committee. Even though the home builders testified that they
support impact fees as a way to pay for infrastructure necessary to serve growth, they claimed
these new changes were necessary to correct bad practices of some cities. The League will be
working to defeat both bills on the House floor accordingly. A summary of the two bills are as
follows:
H82249--municipal development fees; refunds
This bill requires cities to issue refunds to the home builder if a project that levied impact fees is
not built within seven years of the initial imposition of the impact fee. The League has strongly
opposed the concept of a 'home builder refund' because once the house is sold they have already
been reimbursed for their costs. An amendment adopted in committee changes the recipient to the
original purchaser of the house or, if they cannot be located, the present owner. The bill seems to
depart from the principle of a "level of service" standard in determining whether new development
is being served by the infrastructure being funded by impact fees, to one identifying only specific
projects.
H82259--development fees; proportional share
This bill requires impact fees to be used only to serve the needs of new development. Bill language
also stipulates that other funds must be spent first on projects that are paid for using. taxes from
existing residents, combined with impact fees. The provisions of this bill are already required under
existing statutes and their addition creates more confusion about the way impact fees are
administered.
HB 2596 free exercise of religion
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 77 of 80
Page 3 of 5
The bill is sponsored by Rep. 3eve Yarbrou~l (R-Chandler) and also passed out of the House
Government Committee on Tuesday. The bill limits the abilities of cities and towns to use some
zoning standards to site churches. The bill's sponsor says it is necessary because of the potential of
local governments to arbitrarily reject the citing of churches in their communities. The intent of
the bill is to make sure that churches are not held to a different standard from other commercial or
non-profit uses.
However, our reading of the bill is that it goes further by giving churches preference in locating
wherever its members want, "regardless of a compelling government interest." It allows a person to
use their property, regardless of where it may be located, to practice religion as they define it.
The League will be working on amendments that we believe bring it back in line with the intent of
the sponsor and existing federal law on the subject. Rep. Yarbrough agreed to discuss possible
changes to the bill as it moves through the process.
Bill Limits City Tax Collection Options
A bill that would limit cities and towns from using any entity besides the Department of Revenue
(DOR) or another city to collect municipal sates taxes will be heard next Monday (February 8) in the
House Ways and Means Committee. House III 2512 -municipal taxes; auditors and collectors - is
sponsored by Representative Fiiick Murphy (R-gendale), who is also the chair of the Ways and
Means Committee. The Arizona Tax Research Association (ATRA) strongly supports the bill and is its
main proponent.
The League opposes the bill because we want cities and towns to have the o tion to use a private,
third-party entity to perform certain tax administration functions. Currently cities either collect
their own sales taxes (14 cities do this) or rely on DOR for the service. With the crippling budget
cutbacks DOR has endured the last few years, together with shrinking city staffs, privatization of
tax administration may be an attractive option for many cities and towns to efficiently collect sales
taxes that are lawfully owed. Therefore, the League will oppose this bill.

THE WEBQY 9~TLIGHT
l~present at i ve Eric Meyer (D -Paradise Uall ey)
Dr. Meyer moved to Arizona when he was seven years old, attending
Cocopah Elementary School and Chaparral High School. He earned a degree
in Economics from the University of Southern California and a medical
degree from the University of Arizona Medical School. His post-graduate
training was in the specialty of emergency medicine at Portland's (Oregon)
Providence Emergency Department, eventually becoming Director of that
department.
The representative returned to Arizona eleven years ago with his wife,
Sarah Snell, also a physician, and their two children. While his wife
concentrates on her practice, Dr. Meyer serves on the Scottsdale School
District Governing Board.
A member of the Children's Museum of Phoenix Board of Directors and the Scottsdale Unified School
District All-City Athlete Banquet Board, Eric is a dedicated advocate for children. He has also
served as a Legislative Liaison for the Scottsdale Parent Council, PTO President for Arcadia
Neighborhood Learning Center, and Scottsdale Unified School District Budget Committee member.
Dr. Meyer believes strong public schools are the bedrock of Arizona's future. As a school board
member for the past four years, he has gained intimate knowledge of our school's needs, and has
developed a plan to make our schools great. He has improved academic achievement and rigor
district-wide,. increased graduation requirements and expanded class offerings. He has also
increased teachers' salaries every year and is leading efforts to ensure every student is prepared for
success in college and in life.
His background in economics and medicine give him the tools to address the growing problem of
access to quality, affordable health care, especially for our children, and to identify ways to
diversify and strengthen our economy.
Dr. Meyer is a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure and Education committees.
What is your long range vision for Arizona?What are your short term goals for this session?
I would take a different path for our state than the one we are taking today. I believe that we
should value our children and provide them with a quality education and health care. We should
make sensible decisions that lead to the creation of high paying technology and clean energy jobs.
We should invest in our parks that generate millions of dollars for local communities. Our future
depends on the decisions that we make during these difficult times. If we make the right choices
today our towns, cities and state wilt reap the benefits in the long run.
If you could guarantee one piece of legislation would passe what would it be?
A truly balanced budget, as soon as possible, that would begin putting our state on the right track
and. a budget that would create jobs, value education, keep our communities safe and provide
much needed health care for our children.
How can the state government and local governments be better partners?
Regular Council Meeting -February 16, 2010 -Page 79 of 80
Page 5 of 5
Work as partners not adversaries. When the state uses the resources of our cities and towns to
address its financial crisis it undermines the fabric of our communities and puts public safety at
risk. These are trying times and rather than fighting we should look to collaborate to find solutions
that address the needs of our citizens.
What's the best book you've read recently?Why would you recommend it?
I am reading "How to Survive in the Wild" just in case things do not go well this session.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for the opportunity.
