March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
Mayor Honea reported that he went to Mayor's Innovation Night at the community
center. A young person from a school in each of the Pima County cities/towns won an
award. Loren Wood won for Marana. She lives in Continental Ranch. She did a study
on the mineral content of tap water versus bottled water. She and her parents were there.
He also went to the CCIM Forecast last week at Ventana. CCIM is composed of the real
estate brokers in the community. The forecast is that there will more empty lease space,
more empty apartments, less retail next year. Most of the folks there didn't paint a rosy
picture for the next fiscal year. He also attended the Mayors bi-monthly meeting in Pinal
County today -mayors from Casa Grande, Florence and Maricopa. Every city and town
in the state is dealing with the same thing we are. A lot of town staff went to the OLLIE
classes at Heritage Highlands. It's an adult education program through the UA.
MANAGER'S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS
Mr. Davidson reported on some of the details of Founders' Day. It will be at Ora Mae
Harn Park starting at 9:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. The parade will be the kickoff at
around 9:00 a.m. At 11:00 a.m. all of the booths, park, food and vendors will be open for
business. There will be a number of exciting things going on including an opportunity to
catch fish out of the swimming pool. As part of the process to redo the swimming pool
for resurfacing, we're using it one last time for a fishing pond. Council Member
McGorray reminded everyone that there will be wristbands for $10 to use the inflatables
this year. In past years, those have been free, but with tough economic times, it was
decided that $10 was appropriate for children's events. Council Member Comerford
noted that the fishing pond was completely funded by grants. It didn't cost the town
anything. Mr. Davidson reported that the Fish and Game provided a state grant.

BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
COUNCIL ACTION
A 1: PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2010.05: Relating to
Development; approving a rezoning creating the Honea Heights III .Specific Plan
Presented by Lisa Shafer and T. Van Hook. The Mayor opened the public hearing. Bill
Schisler addressed Council as a resident of Honea Heights with several comments. He
agrees that affordable housing is a necessity in Marana. He's concerned about whether
this is the right spot. He also noted several issues involving Honea Heights in the past
several years. He wanted to know how the sewer would be pumped up from the project
when the sewer system in Honea Heights is not yet complete. He also noted that there
would be increased traffic on roads that are not in that good a shape. He's also leery
about flooding in that area, where he's seen flooding several times during his life. He
noted that the project area was initially planned to be a park, and Honea Heights still
needs a park. If there is a park within the project, he is concerned about whether people
in Honea Heights would have easy access to it. He thought the park could be better
placed for all residents. David Morales addressed Council with concerns that this
development would be built in a retention pond designed for Honea Heights. He asked
Council to consider whether this was their intention.
T. Van Hook addressed Council with some of the detail on the funding for the project,
identifying a number of funding sources. There is $170K in CDGB funding through
Pima County to complete the platting and engineering required to move this project
forward. In 2008, the federal home loan bank in San Francisco for $700K agreed to
cover either pre-development, development costs, onsite or offsite services. In addition,
we have HOME dollars, a federal program for $250K per year under two funding cycles.
Those HOME funds have some restrictions. Last year the Pima County Board of
Supervisors voted to award the project an additional $600K with general obligation bond
funding with some restrictions. That makes $1.2M for the development of infrastructure
and other ground work that is required to do the project.
March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
Council Member Ziegler asked about Mr. Schisler's and Mr. Morales' comments
regarding bank protection. She wanted to know what happened to the park idea and was it
supposed to be there? Ms. Van Hook responded that it was her understanding that the
original intent was to build housing and a park in that area. Before she came to the town,
preliminary work was already underway to prepare the property to build some homes
using HOME dollars. The Drachman Institute had already initiated a study to see if there
was a better way to utilize it for more affordable housing and to integrate the housing
project with the park. Keith Brann addressed Council on the flood questions raised. The
project in question is in the Lower Santa Cruz levee-which means the ground on the
landward side is lower than the water surface elevation during a flood. The Lower Santa
Cruz levee as designed and built by Pima County Flood Control is an accredited levee
and was accredited even in the last floodplain mapping. It does contain three feet of
freeboard above the calculated water surface elevation and the 100 year storm. The levee
itself actually has enough height to survive a 500 year storm. It just won't do it with the
freeboard. He explained freeboard as when you have the height of the water -that's how
much extra height of levee you have. So during a 100 year storm, the calculated height
of the levee should be three feet below the top. Ina 500 year storm, it will be closer to
the top but it will not overtop the levee, and that's how that is designed at this time. So
when the levee was built, the area in question where this project occurs is a low area. It
was some of the floodplain fringe of the river. When the levee was built, it would have
created a ponded area, so they had to put in this bleeder pipe which has a flap gate, but
the area itself is not a retention basin. But because the levee blocked off the flow from
being able to return to the river, they had to put the bleed pipe in. That bleed pipe will be
used for the drainage of this project and. it will act more as a metering device to let the
water out of any basin that they build. In general, most of Honea Heights drains toward
Moore Road, not to the project area. Council Member Ziegler then asked about money.
She noted that Honea Heights has been in a bit of an uproar for many years, citing
correspondence between the town manager and Mr. Huckleberry. On sewer and water, a
piece of correspondence says that the new project intends to connect to the new Honea
Heights Colonic system that is currently being constructed throughout the existing Honea
Heights neighborhood. Mr. Huckelberry shut this down. We have to figure out a way to
make Honea Heights whole first. And secondly, she asked whether the town would
actually get the $600K from Pima County general bonds? Ms. Van Hook responded that
there are two options. One is that the specific plan funding will have to be broached one
contract at a time as those come forward. We can only move forward with the funding
with each stage of the project. The Board of Supervisors. has voted to award us those
funds. We are, with a couple of other agencies, waiting for contracts from Pima County
on those, but there are no indications that they do not intend to offer us that funding. I
can only move forward on faith and only encumber funds that we have in hand and have
a contract for. Mayor Honea added that the project area is not a retention basin, and that
area has never flooded. It did scour in the 1983 flood when there were flood waters in
Honea Heights. Scoured means that the water was eating away the bank and caving it in,
but there was no standing water. There's never been any standing water on this property.
And with the Honea Heights lay of the land, the highest land is right against this project
and it drains to the north instead of the south, and there's not even any runoff from Honea
Heights in this project either. The only way that any water would get into this project is
if it came in through Gladden Farms and that area to run down the levee on the inside of
the dike. It's not a retention basin and it never flooded before the levee. Council

March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
Member McGorray commented on access to the trail along the Santa Cruz and asked
whether the Honea Heights neighbors and the kids who live in this new project are going
to have access to the trail without there being a wall or something they have to go around
in order to get to the parks in Gladden Farms? Is there anything that would prohibit them
from just walking or riding a bike to that trail once this is built? Ms. Van Hook
responded that there is no wall on the diagram. The houses that face Sandy Street front
Sandy Street. She also noted that this is just a concept plan. In the specific plan, this is
part of a redevelopment project of the neighborhood. The neighborhoods integrate and
connect at each access point as the streets come down. And houses open onto existing
neighborhoods. There are no walls between the two, and trails in between the houses
connect as much as possible. As far as the Santa Cruz shared use path that runs up
toward the top, what you're seeing are two of the three parcels that the town owns in this
area. We have specifically left the parcel closest to the trailhead there -there will be
some adjustments for streets and other things -but we've left that parcel undeveloped so
that we could integrate the neighborhood in with the Heritage Park and the adjacent farm
and allow access when development of the parks and parking areas, they will integrate
seamlessly up to the Santa Cruz River path. Council Member McGorray asked if the
current neighbors at Honea Heights could walk from their homes through the back to the
shared use path. Ms. Van Hook responded affirmatively, noting that the project is trying
to facilitate as many access points as possible. Council Member Post asked what
happens next after the zoning, platting, etc. Will this go to bid for a builder? Is it a for-
profit builder? Ms. Van Hook responded that there are a couple of steps after the
platting process. Simultaneously, we will send an RFP for qualified developers for a
development partnership to build the houses. There will be specific requirements laid out
in the specific plan and any other type of agreement that require building of both market
rate and affordable units of a simultaneous nature by percentage and we'll require the
building partner to comply with all of the regulations tied to the affordable housing
dollars in this project. Council Member Post asked what the target price will be. Ms.
Van Hook replied that there has been a pro forma based on houses that would sell in a
market rate market starting in the $178K range. Council Member Post noted that a
house could be purchased for $120K elsewhere, so where's the affordability? Ms. Van
Hook concurred and stated that she was giving Council the base done on the pro forma -
a pro. forma based on the available units. Then the developer will bring the building
partner into the project and identify for us based on the market rate units will be and what
their anticipated costs will be for that. Council Member Post asked what the time frame
will be for the project -right now financing is more of a problem for homebuyers than
finding a cheap home. Ms. Van Hook replied that in Pima County and in this area, we
still have some serious problems of affordability of houses -and not just affordability but
attainability. Folks qualify for these houses that may qualify for others, but they don't
have a subsidy in place. They don't have the 20% that FHA is requiring as down
payment, and therefore, the housing is not attainable. The subsidy that we put into these
properties is held for a term and count as that down payment, so the financing mechanism
to the purchaser looks a little different. Part two is that we'd like to move forward and
get some infrastructure and see what the private and nonprofit builders that are interested
in partnering with us have to do, but we have 127 active names on our waiting list for this
project - at least 20 of those check in on a regular basis. We're seeing a need and we're
still giving tours of the property to local builders -some small, some large -but there is
still interest in the community, even with what's happening with existing infrastructure.
The builder does not have to pay financing charges while they're not holding the land
5
March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
through the entitlement process. They're not holding the land through the building
process. The lot is conveyed at time of closing. So while we have an agreement with the
builder, it's not anticipated that the builder will be buying the lot from us and building the
house. They'll be identifying a purchaser, going into a contract, building a house, and
then we'll be conveying the land simultaneously at the time of closing. Council
Member Post asked if we are holding ourselves to the same standards that we would
with a private developer as far as streets and traffic and ingress and egress? Ms. Van
Hook stated she anticipated that we are holding ourselves to a higher standard because
this project will serve as an example to the community on how we can do affordable
housing in a proper manner and that we can hold ourselves to a standard that creates a
viable community and integrates affordable and market rate housing in away that's
positive throughout the community. Council Member Post asked if Ms. Van Hook
envisioned any street modification to the existing Honea Heights streets? Ms. Van Hook
responded that a traffic study was completed and also interns sat at intersections to do
traffic counts which were forwarded to the town traffic engineer with a traffic plan as
required under the specific plan. These were deemed acceptable. Council Member Post
asked Mr. Braun to follow up. The reason there are no additional traffic improvements
on Honea Heights' exiting streets is that the number of trips to be generated by this
development when compared with the number of access points to existing Honea Heights
is just too many locations where people can come and go, so there is no real
concentration of traffic from this project. Some will go to Sanders, some will go to
Moore, but the number of options for those people is a lot, so we're not looking at any
capacity changes inside Honea Heights. Council Member Post asked how the sewer
would be connected. Would the height of the project be raised or pump the sewer? Mr.
Braun replied that there will be some fill brought into this site. It is a low area, but from
his preliminary review of the projections, it is intended to take the sewer out to Sanders
Road and then up Sanders to the Sanders/Moore intersection where they intend connect
to the sewer at that point, and that this should work. Council Member Post if it would
be cost-effective to bring in that much fill dirt? Mr. Brann responded that he didn't think
there were numbers for the actual cost of import or scrape directly from the site itself.
Ms. Van Hook noted that when the cost analysis was .done, it was estimated the cost of
hauling dirt at two feet times 10 acres, so we have estimated the cost of bringing in fill if
required. We hope not to have to do that, but based on some rough estimates, that's what
fill was budgeted for. Council Member McGorray asked for a ball park figure for the
customer purchasing a project, what would they pay for a home? Ms. Van Hook replied
that it's anticipated to be in the range of $50-SSK per house subsidy. The amount of
subsidy depends on the income of the family that moves in and a lot of other factors, so
we would look at a family of four making at 85% of the area median income and paying
just under 30% of their household income on the mortgage, taxes, insurance and a list of
utilities as prescribed by HUD -gas, electric and there are a few others. Paying roughly
30% at 85% of area median income. The mortgage would be somewhere in the $100K-
$118Krange with a $1,000 down payment. It maxes out at $118K-$120K. Council
Member Clanagan asked if that was on a subsidized unit. Ms. Van Hook replied yes.
But not all of the units in this development will be subsidized -about 40% of the units
will be subsidized. Council Member Clanagan asked how these numbers will work if
you can buy a comparable house for a lot less. What is the incentive for a person to pay
more in the neighborhood with subsidized housing than going across the street in a
standalone home that is unsubsidized. Ms. Van Hook responded that there are a couple
of things inherent in the design of this project that would appeal to a certain type of
6
March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
purchaser. Not every purchaser, but a certain type of person who's looking for a mixed
income neighborhood or a smaller lot size. There will be certain water conservation
measures taken in each home and in the neighborhood. There will be certain energy
efficiencies required; recycling; a minimum of solar hot water on each house - so it's a
different type of neighborhood - a different choice. Again, it's going to depend on what
the market will bear on how quickly the phases of this project build out and what builders
come in as building partners. Vice Mayor Kai asked Ms. Van Hook to explain the fill
that will be brought in for the 93 house pads. Ms. Van Hook replied that she doesn't
have the exact figures at this time. A large portion of the property is at the same level as
Sandy Street. Vice Mayor Kai said that if we could get the house sites up to the same
level as Sandy it might work, but he has concerns that it's so low. Ms. Van Hook said
the main parcel -the largest parcel is at or above the height of Sandy Street. Council
Member Ziegler expressed favor for affordable housing although she doesn't think
$178K is affordable, but if you're subsidizing with incentives, you might get there. She's
also concerned about the number of houses that would be subsidized? Ms. Van Hook
replied that at this point 40 houses have been identified - 36.2% of the project. Council
Member Ziegler asked about the dirt and whether any will be leveraged out of the
Barnett Channel or will we pay for it? Ms. Van Hook said she hopes not to buy dirt for
this project. Ms. Van Hook said that to secure the funding they had to make some broad
assumptions based on very rough numbers, and she went to CIP in 2008 and asked them
for worst case scenarios, and that's what we based our total cost of the project on.
Council Member Post asked if some houses are for sale for $180K and then you have
some houses that people get in the door for $120K -are you going to stipulate when they
put that house back on the market and how long? Ms. Van Hook responded that that
would depend on the funding source for each individual lot. She gave an example of a
$20K subsidy if that's all the family requires to meet the guidelines. That maybe
forgiven over a 15-year period. If it's a $SOK subsidy that maybe over a 30- or 35- year
period, so it just depends on how scales and charts are produced. Before entering into
any contracts with the building partner, we will come back to Council for policy
direction. Council Member Post said that this is not necessarily a subsidy as a second
mortgage that's not paid but forgiven later on. Ms. Van Hook replied that that was right.
They are silent seconds that are forgivable and come due if certain conditions are met, i.e.
if the family fails to live there as the primary resident; if the house were sold. There's a
variety of triggers that would require repayment of the subsidy to the town. Council
Member Post. So these don't back on the market after a year or two at the $120K range;
they come back. on the market at more approximately of the original price, is that correct?
Ms. Van Hook replied that is correct in general. If Habitat for Humanity or another like
building partner may come in, they have their own restrictions. If another low income
family were to purchase the house and the subsidy stay in the house, then it would be
retained with the house. Those are contractual obligations, but there is a subordinate
deed to the house, and a promissory note for the amount of the subsidy. Again, it
depends on how much is leveraged to the individual.
Ms. Shafer added a comment to Council Member Post's question on the road section. In
the staff report it states they're proposing a 32-foot wide street section which would
require at platting to go through Planning Commission and ask for the Commission to
approve that which is substandard to our subdivision street standard right now which is
46 feet. That could change, although that is what they're proposing. Council Member
Post asked if normally we would make that a private street that belongs to the
7
March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
homeowners association - is that the same case here, or will the town maintain that
street? Ms. Shafer responded that the town would be maintaining that street. At this
time that is the proposal.
Ms. Van Hook noted that it gets a little tricky because we own the street, so we own the
property already. When we develop the street, we automatically own it because we own
it now. Conveying property to an HOA would be a gift of public funds. Council
Member Post if there are funds available for maintaining the streets in the future. Ms.
Van Hook replied that she is looking at a variety of funding opportunities to do that. In
the pro forma $25 per month was added for that to meet the HUD standards. Normally
we don't maintain the parks and streets if we don't own them, and the town will own
these, so we are looking at what mechanisms will be available to us to help support those.
Council Member Post stated he was willing to go forward as we work through the
issues. Council Member McGorray asked if the garages would be single or double and
behind the homes in the narrow streets with no parking. Where do you put the cars of the
visitors? Ms. Van Hook responded that they are two-car garages per the town's
residential design standards. There are designated parking areas for visitors.
Motion by Council Member Post to adopt Ordinance No. 2010.05 continue to do good
work and keep this moving forward and answering the difficult questions Second by
Council Member McGorray. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Comerford commented that Ms. Van Hook has been working on this
for four years to secure funds and all the efforts that goes into working on a project like
this. Hopefully, this project will turn out the way everyone wants it to. She thanked Ms.
Van Hook for her hard work.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/POSSIBLE ACTION
D 1: Legislative/Intergovernmental Report: Discussion/Direction/Action regarding all
pending state and federal legislation and report on recent meetings of other legislative
bodies
Presentation by Steve Huffman who noted that the Legislature concluded their seventh
special session today. They were tasked with trying to balance the current fiscal year and
next fiscal year's budget. As of today, we have mostly a balanced budget for this fiscal
year and the next fiscal year. Mostly, because what they passed was basically borrowing
for this fiscal year, some cuts for next fiscal year, but all that could change dramatically
based on the results of the May 18 special election. If that election were to fail, the
Legislature will have to come in and figure out another billion dollars worth of cuts to
make in order to balance next year's budget. A couple of key things out of this session -
the one bit of good news is the session started out with the Legislature started out with a
proposed $20M cut to cities and towns. It was an odd proposal to shift responsibility for
juvenile corrections from the state to the counties and then shifting $20M of city and
town money from us to the counties in order to offset the costs that the counties were
going to have to pick up for juvenile corrections. We were able to get that amended out
of the bill. For us that would have amounted to about $110K to $120K a year in revenue
sharing. The one bit of bad news is the Legislature has officially completely terminated
the LTAP 1 and 2 programs which were lottery funds that were targeted for
8
March 16, 2010 Council Meeting Minutes
transportation and transit programs with local governments. They didn't just temporarily
eliminate them -they permanently eliminated them. We still are actively working -there
is about four weeks left of hearing bills in the second regularly session. I was working on
a bill in Phoenix today that would completely restructure the prime contracting which is
construction sales tax money that goes into cities and towns and counties that would have.
a significant impact on communities across our state. For example, Phoenix was at that
meeting saying that that one change could cost them between $50-60M a year. I'm
working with Erik to try to quantify what the impact of that would be onus. We had a
good meeting with the chair of the Ways and Means committee today to try to explain the
impact of some of these bills that are still floating around on cities and towns, and
hopefully will be successful on clearing the decks on some of these really troubling
pieces of legislation before the session ends. One other bit of news - it seems to be the
pattern now -not only are voters going to be asked on May 18 to vote on a one cent sales
tax increase but now they will be asked to eliminate a fairly significant education
program called First Things First on the November ballot, so they'll be asking voters to
help balance the budget in May and again in November. Council Member Ziegler
asked about First Things First. Mr. Huffman stated that they (Legislature) basically
referred this to the November ballot asking the voters whether to eliminate this program.
Council Member Ziegler asked if First Things First tried to give money to the state to
balance their budget. Mr. Huffman replied affirmatively. Council Member Ziegler
emphasized that they (First Things First) have a lot of money.
