Discussion:
On December 8, 2010, the Town was notified that it had received the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award for its fiscal year 2010 -2011 Annual Budget and Financial Plan. This award
is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting and represents a significant
achievement by the Town. A press release, which is attached, announcing the Town's award
receipt was issued soon thereafter.
The Government Finance Officer's Association (GFOA) established the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Awards Program (Budget Awards Program) in 1984 to encourage and assist state
and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest quality that reflect both
the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and
the GFOA's recommended practices on budgeting and then to recognize individual governments
that succeed in achieving that goal.
Documents submitted to the Budget Awards Program are reviewed by selected members of the
GFOA professional staff and by outside reviewers with experience in public sector budgeting.
Tonight's presentation is to formally acknowledge receipt of the award by Council.

Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: Relating to Police; special recognition of exemplary service by the Marana Police
Department
Discussion:
On the morning of December 27, 2010, Marana police officers responded to a domestic dispute.
While on the scene, one of the three children living at the residence stated that he hoped Santa
Claus would come back because neither he nor any of his brothers had received Christmas
presents. Officers determined that there was food in the house and that the boys appeared to be
in good health and well cared for, but there was little in the house in the way of personal items or
toys.
Once the officers left the residence, they decided that they wanted to give the children the
Christmas they did not receive and went to Walmart where they met with Cory Evans in the Loss
Prevention Department. When Mr. Evans learned what the officers wanted to do, he was able to
get Walmart to donate several hundred dollars worth of clothing and blankets and a Christmas
tree. In addition, the officers and Mr. Evans collectively contributed $160 of their own money to
purchase toys. The items and toys were delivered to the family the same day. The mother and
the boys were overjoyed and extremely appreciative of the efforts of the officers and Cory Evans.
The officers who participated include Gerrie Tinsley, Jeff Pridgett, Brandt Smith, Brad Clifford,
Mike Holbert, Melissa Larkin, Jayme Dozier, Ray Kennedy and Sgt. Chris Warren.
The officers extend their special appreciation to Cory Evans and Walmart for their contributions.
A letter from Town Manager Gilbert Davidson to each of the officers and Sgt. Warren is
attached.
Sgt. Warren and members of the Marana Police Department team will be present at tonight's
meeting.

Dear Sergeant Warren:
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for your actions to help.a family have a
memorable Christmas. Upon reading your account of the events that took place on December 27
after responding to a domestic dispute call, you and your fellow officers went above and beyond
the call of duty.
The thoughtfulness of our officers has made a lasting impression upon a Marana family
during the recent Christmas holiday. The family included three boys; ages two, five, and seven.
Upon resolution of the incident, the officers could have easily left the residence to resume their
other duties, but they made a choice to reach out to a family in need. This family did not have
the financial means to enjoy and celebrate the various holiday traditions, including the sharing of
presents and having a family Christmas tree.
The five-year old in the family said that he hoped Santa Claus would come back because
he had forgotten them. The actions our officers took upon hearing this child's wish proved that
there was a Santa Claus for this family. The donations that individual of contributed as
well as the actions to secure essential clothing and blankets from Wal -Mart, including a
Christmas tree, helped this family experience something truly special.
You are to be commended for your selfless actions to help a family in need. You
exemplified the ideal character and compassion we value from all our employees. Thank you for
being an important part of our Marana team and helping to make this an even better community.

From: Tom Ellis , Parks and Recreation Director
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Recreation
Strategic Plan Focus Area - Additional Information:
The Marana Strategic Plan includes initiatives under the Recreation focus area, including to
"ensure that future development, land -use and projects protect and showcase the Sonoran Desert
and all its inhabitants" and to "identify, undertake and/or complete planning processes for parks,
open -space and recreation facilities." The management plan for the El Rio Open Space Area
helps to accomplish both these initiatives for this open space area.
Subject: Resolution No. 2011 -08: Relating to Parks and Recreation; approving and authorizing
the Town Manager to implement the Management Plan for the Marana parcels
adjacent to the Santa Cruz River and Coachline Boulevard known as the El Rio Open
Space Area
Discussion:
The subject property is vacant land located in the floodway of the Santa Cruz River, known as
the El Rio Open Space Area. The property is an abandoned gravel pit, owned by the Town of
Marana, which consists of three parcels.
The purpose of the Management Plan is to define the recreation and conservation goals on the
parcel, to ensure that recreation activities and wildlife habitat are compatible and to identify the
strategies by which the goals will be achieved and the means by which success will be measured.
In addition, this document will address specific management practices to be implemented to
maintain a wildlife corridor through the area from the Tucson Mountains to the Santa Cruz River,
while avoiding disturbance to cultural resources. The site was previously a borrow pit for the
Arizona Department of Transportation. It was acquired by the Town of Marana in 2003. The area
is vacant land in the floodway, with some riparian scrub and tamarisk tree vegetation. The Pima
County Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan maps designate the site as having high cultural
sensitivity. Another constraint is the flood potential when the Santa Cruz River overflows its
banks. The site acts as a water retention basin during floods and the two southern parcels can be
inundated for extended periods during the monsoon season. The Town of Marana Parks and
Recreation Department, with the assistance of community volunteers, constructed an 18 -hole disc
golf course on the site. There are garbage receptacles and two -track trails running to the tee pads
and baskets. Current management practices consist of mowing weeds, trimming up some of the
trees, and emptying trash. There is an unimproved lot being used for parking and signage on the
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 12 of 82
south side of the site. An intergovernmental agreement between the Town and Marana Unified
School District approved in June 2007 allows for use of the aforementioned unimproved lot. In
addition to the disc golf course, the area serves as a wildlife habitat and has been identified as an
important connector for species moving between the Tucson and Tortolita Mountains and the
Santa Cruz River. There are regional plans to incorporate this site into a wildlife linkage that is
defined in the Marana Draft Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) including a future crossing at Avra
Valley Road and Interstate 10. Roads and development create habitat fragmentation which
profoundly affects species and can lead to isolation, a reduction in robust genetic variability,
increased edge effect, increased road kill, and extirpation of species. Wildlife corridors can
alleviate some of the effects of urbanization by allowing species to move through the landscape.
Corridors also provide sufficient natural resources to serve as core habitat for smaller species.
The parcels are adjacent to an important archaeological site and shards were identified along the
berms. Pima County also plans to extend the historic Juan Batista de Anza Trail through the area.
The primary goals for this site are to (1) maintain the site as a disc golf course; (2) preserve the
site as wildlife habitat and linkage; (3) eliminate off -road vehicle use; (4) avoid disturbance to
cultural resources in the area; (5) monitor and remove invasive non - native species, except for
tamarisk; and (6) manage fire threats.
The Management Plan for the site describes desired objectives and strategies for realizing those
objectives. The plan was developed with input from the Environmental Engineering division, the
Parks and Recreation department, Northwest Fire District, the disc golf community, and the
Marana Technical Biological Team.
Financial Impact:
Management and maintenance activities for the described area are currently in place. The area
has been formally "adopted" by the Marana Disc Golf Club, and the club members perform many
of the maintenance requirements on the site. There is no additional financial impact anticipated
at this time.

I. INTRODUCTION
The subject property is vacant land located in the floodway of the Santa Cruz River,
known as the El Rio Open Space Area. The property is an abandoned gravel pit, owned
by the Town of Marana, which consists of three parcels. The legal description is as
follows: NE4 NE4 40 Ac Sec. 17 - 12 -12; NW 4 NE4 40 Ac Sec. 17-12-12; and Tri Pcl. in
SW Cor S2 SE4 24.93Ac Sec 08 -12 -12 (see attached map #1).
The purpose of the Management Plan is to define the recreation and conservation goals
on the parcel, ensure that recreation activities and wildlife habitat are compatible, identify
the strategies by which the goals will be achieved, and the means by which success will
be measured. In addition, this document will address specific management practices to be
implemented to maintain a wildlife corridor through the area from the Tucson Mountains
to the Santa Cruz River, while avoiding disturbance to cultural resources.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION
The site was previously a borrow pit for Arizona Department of Transportation. It was
acquired by the Town of Marana in 2003. The area is vacant land in the floodway, with
some riparian scrub and tamarisk (Tamarix sp.) vegetation. The Pima County Sonoran
Desert Conservation Plan maps designate the site as having high cultural sensitivity.
Another constraint is the flood potential when the Santa Cruz River overflows its banks.
The site acts as a water retention basin during floods and the two southern parcels can be
inundated for extended periods during the monsoon season. The elevation ranges from
2,070 to 2,080 feet and there are berms along the eastern and southern boundaries.
CURRENT LAND USE
A disc golf course has been constructed on the site, with 18 baskets, 18 concrete
launching pads (4'x8'), and railroad tie steps on existing hills. There is also a railroad tie
retaining wall at one tee. There are garbage receptacles and two -track trails running to the
tee pads and baskets. Current management practices consist of mowing weeds, trimming
up some of the trees, and emptying trash. There is an unimproved lot being used for
parking and signage on the south side of the site.
In addition to the disc golf course, the area serves as a wildlife habitat and has been
identified as an important connector for species moving between the Tucson and Tortolita
Mountains and the Santa Cruz River. There are regional plans to incorporate this site into
a wildlife linkage that is defined in the Marana Draft Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)
including a future crossing at Avra Valley Road and Interstate 10. Roads and
development create habitat fragmentation which profoundly affects species and can lead
to isolation, a reduction in robust genetic variability, increased edge effect, increased road
kill, and can lead to extirpation of species. Wildlife corridors can alleviate some of the
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 18 of 82 2
effects of urbanization by allowing species to move through the landscape. Corridors also
provide sufficient natural resources to serve as core habitat for smaller species.
The parcels are adjacent to an important archaeological site and sherds were identified
along the berms. Pima County plans to extend the historic Juan Batista de Anza Trail
through the area also. The route followed by de Anza was designated a National Historic
Trail by Congress in 1990. The Juan Bautista de Anza Trail runs from Sinaloa Mexico
through southern Arizona, and in California up to San Francisco.
III. MANAGEMENT GOALS
PRIMARY GOALS
The primary goals for this site are to (1) maintain the site as a disc golf course; (2)
preserve the site as wildlife habitat and linkage; (3) eliminate off -road vehicle use; (4)
avoid of disturbance to cultural resources in the area; (5) monitor invasive non - native
species and remove except for tamarisk, as described below; and (6) manage fire threats.
IV. MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING
OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE 1: MAINTAIN COMMUNITY DISC GOLF COURSE (MARANA
ROCK DISC GOLF COURSE)
• The disc golf course will remain at its current size (18 holes). See Attached
Map #2;
• Use (events and tournaments) will continue at the levels agreed upon:
• Daily use by individuals and small groups;
• Weekly events (Saturday mornings at 8:00am);
• Four tournaments per year, consisting of approximately 60 people.
• Trash pick -up by the Town at receptacles will occur on a regular basis.
o Trash cans will be limited to six in number, to reduce the extent of roads
and habitat disturbance. Any additional trash cans will be removed and
roads will be blocked. Signage will encourage recreationists to pack out
their trash from other areas of the course;
O Trash will be picked up every two weeks.
OBJECTIVE 2: MAINTAIN THE THREE PARCELS AS WILDLIFE HABITAT
AND PRESERVE MOVEMENT PATTERNS
• Vegetation will be managed in accordance with the plan laid out in this document
to maintain habitat suitable for wildlife:
O Tamarisk trees will not be cut down unless a native tree (i.e. mesquite,
hackberry, etc.) is provided to replace it somewhere on the property.
Although tamarisk trees are non - native, they provide significant habitat for
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 19 of 82 3
avian species on site such as Bell's vireo, yellow warblers, and Gambel's
quail;
0 Any removal of tamarisk trees will be phased with native tree- planting, so
that habitat remains at all times;
0 Trees directly adjacent to disc golf tee pads may be limbed up to provide
shade for recreationists; however, other trees will not be limbed, and
understory shrubs will be preserved in place;
• Marana will provide an interpretive sign explaining the importance of the
site as wildlife habitat, a wildlife connector, and how the public can
participate in wildlife habitat protection and enhancement;
• Continue to allow seasonal water to flow into the site (i.e. do not block or
dam water off of the site);
0 Restrict activities on site if the vegetation becomes degraded or erosion
occurs due to over -use, and revegetate disturbed areas with native plant
species as needed;
0 Trees or shrubs must be planted to coincide with expected rains and must
be provided water bi- monthly during the dry season, either with an
irrigation system or hauled by trucks.
• Human disturbance will be limited to the extent agreed upon in this document.
0 No harm or harassment of any wildlife species is allowed and signs stating
such prohibitions will be posted;
0 Refer to Objective 1 for disc golf use allowances;
0 No paintball or similar activities will be permitted.
0 No lighting will be installed on site;
0 No permanent bleachers, concession stands, or other structures not
specifically described as acceptable in this document will be permitted;
0 Allowable activities may include birding, research, walking, jogging or
other non destructive use of land.
OBJECTIVE 3: ELIMINATE OFF -ROAD VEHICLE TRESPASS AND OTHER
UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES
• The property will be managed so that opportunities for vehicular trespass and
vandalism are minimized. Off -road vehicles (ORVs) destroy habitat, fragment
habitat by leaving trails, create sound and dust pollution that disturbs wildlife, and
could be potentially lethal to wildlife.
Actions
• The community groups will assist in erecting a perimeter of wildlife- friendly
fencing and will patrol the property on a bi- monthly basis, for fence repair needs,
vandalism, ORV use, livestock trespass, or other issues;
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 20 of 82 4
• The Town of Marana will provide fencing supplies;
• "No -ORV" signs will be posted by the Town on the fence on all sides of the
property;
• "Dogs on a Leash, Pick up After Your Dog" signs will also be posted;
• In the event that there are serious vandalism issues on the parcel, Marana Parks &
Recreation Department will coordinate with the Police Department;
• Interpretive signs for the public will include rules of conduct, allowable activities,
and information on the hazards of human and companion animal disturbance to
wildlife habitat.
OBJECTIVE 4: PRESERVE AND PROTECT CULTURAL RESOURCE AREAS
• No ground disturbing activities will be permitted in the area unless a cultural
survey is completed;
• Marana will coordinate conservation measures to avoid impacts to culturally
sensitive areas.
OBJECTIVE 5: INVASIVE SPECIES PLANT AND WEED CONTROL
Reduce, or prevent, to the extent possible, the proliferation of noxious and invasive plant
species. Invasive species often lack the natural predators or diseases that normally keep
them in check in their native environment. The invasive species have aggressive growth
habits and tend to out - compete native vegetation, reducing the habitat for wildlife.
Species such as buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) also create an extreme fire hazard,
reaching temperatures that can kill saguaros (Carnegiea gigantea) and other native plants
not well adapted to a fire regime. Early detection and eradication of small infestations
and prevention of new infestations provide the most cost effective method to manage
these weeds. Sahara mustard (Brassica tourneffortii) is another invasive weed that will be
controlled on the property. There is a large quantity of Tamarisk plants on the site and
the Town has a goal of removal, but since the Tamarisk is currently providing habitat for
several species, the Tamarisk will be preserved as wildlife habitat until native species are
planted to replace the tamarisk.
Action
• The Town will record the type and location of any invasive species problems
noted during general fence and property inspections, bird surveys, etc.;
• Marana will use standard treatments for invasive species infestations, within 45
days of detection;
• If weeds are sprayed, herbicides that are recommended for riparian areas and
wetlands will be used;
• Herbicide applicators boots and vehicles will be washed down before entering and
leaving the premises;
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 21 of 82 5
• Tamarisk will be preserved as wildlife habitat until a plan is developed to replace
tamarisk, in phases, with native trees and shrubs.
• The Town will coordinate with the disc golf club or volunteer organizations for
the removal of invasive species on the property.
OBJECTIVE 6: FIRE PREVENTION MANAGEMENT
The parcels are in the Northwest Fire District and complete fire suppression is the goal at
this site. Town will reduce the potential for fire on the parcel by controlling invasive
species, posting signage, and coordinating with the Northwest Fire District. The
Northwest Fire District has developed a Fire Management Plan for Marana -Owned
Parcels along the Santa Cruz River (Appendix B). The property has been GPS'd and
broken into fire management parcels with access information for fire fighting crews,
expected labor needs in the event of a fire, and fuel load information.
Actions
• The Town and the NW Fire District have developed a fire prevention and
suppression plan for the property. This plan will be updated if circumstances
change;
• Fire suppression is the goal on this property, due to the proximity to houses. The
Town will maintain close coordination with the local fire district;
• The Town of Marana will monitor and remove invasive species such as Russian
thistle (Salsola Kali), Sahara mustard (Brassica tournefortii), and buffelgrass
(Pennisetum ciliare);
• During routine property inspections, the Town will identify any other fire threats
in the area;
• Interpretive signs will include information on fire hazards such as invasive
species and cigarette butts.
V. MEASURES OF SUCCESS
Measures of success will be used by the Town of Marana to evaluate whether
management actions are working to achieve the objectives and goals, and to adjust those
actions when necessary, through adaptive management. Success will be measured by the
following:
• Habitat will be maintained with shrubs and trees preserved within the
management area;
• Marana will monitor and document responses to ORV's, etc. in order to decrease
the frequency of issues;
• Invasive species will be controlled;
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 22 of 82 6
• Trees and shrubs that are planted should have a survival rate of at least 50 percent.
(It is assumed that the surviving plants will naturally reproduce over time.)
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 23 of 82 7
VI. MONITORING
• The Town of Marana will monitor vegetation three times per year to assure that
trees are surviving and not being removed and to document invasive species
occurrence;
• Threats to wildlife will be monitored concurrently during monitoring visits, such
as the presence of feral dogs, evidence of human disturbance, etc.;
• Marana will coordinate with the USFWS to develop adaptive management
strategies if wildlife species or habitat appears to be declining on the property.

Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 30 of 82 14
This Fire Management Plan has been developed to provide direction for fire
management at the Marana Rock Disc Golf Course and surrounding areas. In
the event of fire in this area, the Marana property has been parceled into units
with identified fuel breaks. A variety of plant species have been identified, each
having unique burning characteristics. Marana property has been identified by a
blue border. Because of topography, some of these parcels will require
containment strategies to utilize fuel breaks outside this area. This property is
directly adjacent to the Santa Cruz River. The river can be accessed by UTV
from both north and south of the Marana property. There is a fire hydrant at the
corner of W. Lapis Moon Lane and N. Turquoise Moon Way for water supply.
The following is a description of each parcel:
Parcel A
Parcel A has homes along approximately 'h of its western boundary. The west
boundary has utilized a dirt easement that is accessed off of W. Milligan Road.
This easement is best accessed by UTV or on foot. The North, East and
southern boundaries utilize existing two -track roads. The eastern boundary has
considerable growth and would require approximately 1.5 hours work by a 20
person hand crew to provide an adequate fire break. Fuels range from light
grasses to dense brush. Moderate to extreme fire behavior could be expected.
Parcel B
Parcel B has utilized existing two -track roads for all boundaries. The western
boundary is shared with parcel A and would require the work specified above.
The remaining boundaries would require little to no preparation. Fuels are
primarily grasses with areas of moderate brush. Moderate to extreme fire
behavior could be expected.
Parcel C
This parcel utilizes existing two -track roads on all sides. The North and East
boundaries are on levees with little to no vegetation and would need minimal to
no improvement. Fuels are primarily grasses with a fenced marsh in the southern
1/3 of the parcel. Moderate to extreme fire behavior could be expected.
Parcel D
This parcel covers the Santa Cruz River and utilizes levees on the East and West
banks of the river. The North and South boundaries utilize existing intermittent
foot trails and would require 1 to 2 hours work by a 20 person hand crew to
provide an adequate fire break. Fuels consist of dense brush with mixed timber
and tall grasses. Moderate to extreme fire behavior could be expected. Santa
Cruz River water levels could moderate fire behavior. Water levels could also
dictate need for additional water supply.
Management Plan for the Marana Parcels Adjacent to the Santa Cruz River
and Coachline Boulevard
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 31 of 82 15
Parcel E
This parcel is along the slope of the western levee of the Santa Cruz River. The
western boundary is a two -track road along the levee. The remaining boundaries
utilize foot trails and would require approximately 1 hour of work by a 20 person
hand crew to provide an adequate fire break. Fuels consist of moderate brush
and grasses. Moderate fire behavior could be expected.
Parcel F
This parcel covers the Santa Cruz River and utilizes levees on the East and West
banks of the river. The North and South boundaries utilize existing intermittent
foot trails and would require 1 to 2 hours work by a 20 person hand crew to
provide an adequate fire break. Fuels consist of dense brush with mixed timber
and tall grasses. Moderate to extreme fire behavior could be expected. Santa
Cruz River water levels could moderate fire behavior. Water levels could also
dictate need for additional water supply.
Parcel G
This parcel utilizes continuation of the easement for its Western boundary and
the levee of the Santa Cruz River for its Eastern boundary. The Southern
boundary utilizes a two -track road and would need little to no improvement. The
Northern boundary utilizes a foot trail and would need approximately 30 minutes
work by a 20 person hand crew to provide an adequate fire break. Fuels consist
of moderate brush and grasses. Moderate to extreme fire behavior could be
expected.
All fires in this area would be affected greatly by the weather at the time of the
fire. Fires in parcels D and F could expect to be labor intensive due to the
vegetation.

Council Chambers, January 18, 2011, 7:00:00 PM
To: Mayor and Council Item C 3
From: Dorothy O'Brien , Utilities Director
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Community Building
Strategic Plan Focus Area - Additional Information:
The Marana Strategic Plan, under the Community Building focus area, contains multiple
references to securing and effectively managing water and other utilities infrastructure.
Subject: Resolution No. 2011 -10: Relating to Utilities; approving and authorizing the Utilities
Director to execute a resource aggregation contract by and among Western Area Power
Administration, Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., and the Town of Marana
Utilities Department
Discussion:
The Town of Marana Utilities Department has an allocation of 1000 kW of electrical power
(hydropower) from the Parker -Davis Project Electric Service. At this rime, the Utilities
Department is unable to use all of its allocation because the Town's only wheeling agreement for
the power is with Trico Electric Cooperative, which serves only a portion of the Department's
facilities.
This item would authorize the Utilities Department to enter into a Resource Aggregation
Contract with Western Area Power Administration and Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Inc.
The contract provides that Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., will purchase our excess
hydropower from Parker -Davis at our cost. Through this contract, the Utilities Department will
be able to transfer all of its unused hydropower allocation to the Arizona Electric Power
Cooperative, Inc., and be reimbursed the full cost of the excess hydropower.
Financial Impact:
This item is anticipated to save the Utilities Department approximately $20,000 per year.

From: Jocelyn C. Bronson , Town Clerk
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: Relating to Liquor Licenses; recommendation to the state liquor board regarding a
special event liquor license application submitted by Tucson Conquistadores, Inc., for
2011 Accenture Match Play Championship customer and volunteer appreciation
parties, located at 12100 N. Dove Mountain Blvd.
Discussion:
The attached application is for a special event liquor license submitted by Tucson
Conquistadores, Inc., for 2011 Accenture Match Play Championship customer and volunteer
appreciation parties, located at 12100 N. Dove Mountain Blvd. (formerly Bashas' Grocery Store).
The applicant for this special event liquor license has submitted a special event permit
application to the town.
A special event liquor license is a temporary, non - transferable, on -sale retail privileges liquor
license that allows a charitable, civic, fraternal, political or religious organization to sell and
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 from the special event.
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 application is approved by the Town Council, and the event
meets the requirements for granting the license, the director of the DLLC will issue the special
event liquor license to the qualifying organization. If the application is disapproved by the Town
Council, the DLLC will normally not consider the application.
Attached is the application for the 2011 Accenture Match Play Championship customer and
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 63 of 82
volunteer appreciation after parties, located at 12100 N. Dove Mountain Blvd. (formerly Bashas'
Grocery Store), to be held on February 24th and 25th, 2011.

Legis lative uien —
ISSUE 1 - JANUARY b, 2011
From the Executive Director
Next Monday, January 10th is the first day of the State of Arizona's 50th Legislature, and it will be one for the
history books. Nearly half of the members of the House and Senate are freshmen -new to the legislative process, and
they face another year of severe budget shortfalls and challenging policy decisions. Governor Jan Brewer has been
inaugurated for a full four -year term, and Senator Russell Pearce will be the new President of the Senate. Rep. Kirk
Adams will return for his second term as Speaker of the House.
This will be a pivotal year for the State of Arizona, and for its 91 cities and towns. There are some reasons for
optimism -the economy of the state seems to be slowly recovering from a multi -year recession, but on the other
hand most one -time state revenue sources have been tapped dry. And, despite the fact that we are being
showcased on the national stage for the BCS National Championship Football game in Glendale on the same day as
the beginning of the legislative session, the state faces numerous obstacles in the coming months.
At the League, we are fortunate to have the leadership and involvement of the members of our Executive
Committee, and a great team of legislative advocates on staff. And, we are counting on each one of you to make
our voice heard at the Legislature on matters that impact cities and towns.
The Executive Committee has made a strong statement this year with a resolution calling for collaboration between
local and state government in solving budget issues. The text of the resolution is included in this issue of the
Bulletin.
Cities and towns will always need to carefully monitor the many bills introduced into the legislative process. We
must be sure our voice will be heard whether we are in support of a bill or opposed to it. At the League we will
review every bill that is introduced (typically 1,200 to 1,400 per session) and will work with the Governor,
leadership, committee chairs, members and staff to do our best to keep cities and towns strong and successful -and
in turn to help the state be strong and successful.
We ask that you take the time to read the Legislative Bulletin each Friday during the session and take every
opportunity to communicate with your Senators and Representatives about our issues. More than 85 percent of the
people of Arizona live in a city or town, and we are where people and businesses call home. We have a strong voice,
and we must be heard at the state legislature. You are in the best position to have an impact with your local
delegation, and we count on your involvement.
Please let us know when you have questions or ideas, or when you hear about an issue that we may not know about

yet. We look forward to working with Governor Brewer and the Legislature -and to partnering with you to have a
positive impact on the state in the year ahead.

League Resolution
At the December 16, 2010 meeting of the League Executive Committee, a resolution was authorized that calls for a
commitment from Arizona's municipalities to work in positive collaboration with the Governor and the Legislature in
order to address the state budget crisis.
Legislative Know -How
At the start of the session, we thought it would be helpful to provide you with some tips on how to have influence
down at the Capitol.
Before, during and after the session:
• Build a relationship with your legislative delegation. Invite them to municipal events. Get to know them. It's
far easier to get their ear when they know who you are.
• You share a constituency. What's good for your citizens is good for their district. Remind them of this often.
• Email is good, phone calls are better, but face time is the best.
When lobbying:
• Keep it simple and be brief. Be specific; know the facts and the impact of the legislation on your community.
Share stories about your own specific community situation. If the League has talking points on an issue, use
them to stay on- message.
• Legislators rely on others all the time for information - you are the expert on your city or town.
• If you don't have an answer to their question, say so, tell them you will find out and get back to them, and
make sure you do.
• Ask for their vote, and even if it's uncomfortable - -don't go away without their answer.
• Always thank them for their time.
When testifying:
• Be prepared, come early, and be sure you are registered on the Request to Speak system (the League can
help with this).
• Always direct your comments through the chair and then to the members of the committee.
• Thank the chair and the committee for allowing you the opportunity to address them.
We at the League are always here to help. Let us know if you need anything at all.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEAGUE OF ARIZONA CITIES AND TOWNS RESOLUTION
CALLS FOR COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP WITH
STATE ON BUDGET ISSUES
PHOENIX (Jan. 4, 2011) - Please see below for a copy of the
League Resolution that was passed by the League Executive
Committee on December 16, 2010.
A RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING COLLABORATION BETWEEN
ARIZONA'S CITIES AND TOWNS AND GOVERNOR AND STATE
LEGISLATURE IN DEALING WITH BUDGET ISSUES IN THE
2011 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
Whereas, the incorporated cities and towns of Arizona understand
and appreciate the budget and financial challenges faced by all
levels of government in Arizona, having experienced together with
our partners in the Governor's Office and the Legislature a major
decline in jobs in the private and public sector, a severe increase in
home foreclosures, and the sharp declines in sales tax revenue and
income tax revenue; and
Whereas, cities and towns believe that long -term financial stability
for governments in Arizona will be achieved only by growing our
economy and that all sectors of government need to work together
to encourage economic development by providing opportunities for
businesses to locate to the state and at the same time keep good -
paying jobs with career opportunities in Arizona; and
Whereas, cities and towns create and support the quality of life that
attracts today's best businesses by providing the utility and
transportation infrastructure and the attractive, safe neighborhoods
and amenities where businesses and their employees locate; and
Whereas, the State Government and Local Government operate
within the same economy and are inextricably linked together in an
effort to provide visionary policy decisions and leadership to our
shared constituency; and
Whereas, city budgets on average are 25 -30% smaller than they
were just three years ago, and municipal workforces have been
reduced and restructured in order to operate more efficiently and
continue to protect core services such as public safety; and
Whereas, the League of Arizona Cities and Towns demonstrated its
support of state government's efforts to find solutions by endorsing
the referral of Proposition 100 (the three -year one -cent sales tax
increase) to the voters while at the same time voluntarily giving up
our dedicated portion of the increased sales tax, which will amount
to an estimated $600 million over three years; now therefore,
Be it resolved that the League of Arizona Cities and Towns,
Regular Council Meeting - January 18, 2011 - Page 75 of 82

The League of Arizona Cities and Towns
representing all 91 of the incorporated municipalities in the state,
commits to be a positive partner with our Governor and State
Legislature in addressing the issues of the budget shortfall and
structural deficit by working collaboratively and creatively on ways to
correct the ongoing state budget deficit, to develop policies that will
enhance Arizona's long -term competitiveness for business
attraction, retention and growth while minimizing negative impacts
on state or local budgets, and to restore Arizona's image as an
innovative leader and the best state in the West for businesses and
families.

YOUR VOICE AT THE CAPITOL
2011 STATE LEGISLATORS
At the beginning of the Legislative session each year the League compiles current contact information for
each of Arizona's 30 State Senators and 60 State Representatives in order to facilitate lobbying efforts for
cities and towns. The list includes the following:
• the name of each Senator and Representative and the district and the cities and towns
they represent
• the Capitol address and toll -free number (listed below)
• legislators' home addresses or alternate mailing addresses
• legislators' office phone numbers
• legislators' e-mail addresses
A useful tool for accessing legislative information is the Legislature's web site. The address is
www.azieg.gov or simply follow the link from the League's web site at www.azleague.org Using the links
provided on the web page you can retrieve brief biographies of legislators and what committees they
serve on, access complete texts of introduced legislation and obtain the status of any bill. Summaries of
each bill can also be found on this site once the bill has been assigned to committee.
The League offices are always available for your use during the legislative session. The League facilities
provide a convenient place for meeting with State Legislators, particularly for local officials outside the
metropolitan Phoenix area.
We hope the list will be helpful to you in contacting your legislators on all issues of major municipal
concern. Please feel free to contact the League staff should you have any questions regarding legislation
or contacting your legislators.
