Relating to Recreation; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the first amendment to the intergovernmental agreement between the Arizona Game and Fish Commission and the Town of Marana defining and regulating hunting areas with the Town of Marana Discussion: In July 2010, the Town Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the Arizona Game and Fish Commission and the Town which defined those areas within the Town limits which are open to hunting with firearms and those areas which are closed. The IGA included a map which detailed the closed and open areas. After execution of the IGA, staff became aware that a portion of the land known as the Tortolita Preserve was included as an area open to firearms hunting. However, pursuant to a Habitat Preservation Agreement entered into by and among RedHawk Marana, LLC, Rita Land Corporation and Cottonwood Properties, Inc., and the Town of Marana and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in 2000, the use of firearms is prohibited in the Tortolita Preserve. The proposed first amendment to the IGA amends the map so that the area of the Tortolita Preserve which was defined in the original IGA and map as open to hunting with firearms will now be closed.

When the officers left, they felt that they wanted to do something for the kids at the home. They went to Wal -Mart and talked to some of the employees about the situation. This shows not only the quality of the officers but the relationships that have been built in the community, especially the Wal -Mart Corporation and an employee, Cory Evans, who works in loss prevention. When he learned what the officers were trying to do for the family, he and other members of the Wal -Mart staff put together clothes and a tree for the family. The officers reached into their own pockets and donated money for toys for the kids.

The event is one of the largest and most prominent golfing events in the world, drawing the top 64 ranked golfers to the community to compete each February. An estimated 60,000- 80,000 people visit Marana to attend the event each year, and television coverage reaches an estimated 463 million viewers in more than 200 countries. While no formal economic impact study of the Accenture Match Play tournament has ever been completed, similar -sized PGA TOUR events around the country have an estimated economic impact of $30 -$60 million for host regions. In an effort to better define responsibilities relating to preparation for and operations during the tournament, Town staff have conducted several meetings with PGA TOUR officials to ensure that the event runs smoothly and efficiently. As a result of these meetings, staff from both organizations have produced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that commits to writing the responsibilities of the Town and tournament staff in the areas of public safety and traffic control. Specifically, the proposed MOU covers responsibilities and costs relating to preparation of parking areas, traffic control plans and security plans; public safety personnel staffing; traffic operations; and invoicing for services provided. If approved, the MOU will be effective immediately and apply to the upcoming tournament, which will be held February 22 -27, 2011. Financial Impact: Financial impact for the 2011 tournament will not be determined until after the tournament concludes. The cost structure specified within the MOU is consistent with that of previous years in which the tournament was held in Marana.

CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 Council Chambers, February 1, 2011, 7:00:00 PM To: Mayor and Council Item D 1 From: Jane Fairall , Deputy Town Attorney Strategic Plan Focus Area: Not Applicable Subject: Relating to Business Regulations; discussion and direction regarding proposed amendments to Title 9 (Business Regulations) of the Marana Town Code, regulating massage establishments, establishing licensing requirements and related fees, establishing requirements for massage establishment facilities, designating unlawful activities and establishing criminal penalties for violations Discussion: At the Council's March 30, 2010, meeting, the chairman of the Police Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC), Mike Lektorich, presented a recommendation that the Council direct staff to draft an ordinance regulating massage establishments. The Council voted unanimously in favor of Mr. Lektorich's recommendation. Staff prepared the attached proposed massage establishment ordinance and first presented it to the Police CAC in July 2010. At that time, the Police CAC voted to conduct outreach to the business community prior to bringing the ordinance back to Council. The ordinance was distributed to massage businesses within the Town through the Marana Chamber of Commerce. In addition, businesses and the Chamber were invited to take part in a discussion of the ordinance before the Police CAC. Finally, the ordinance was presented to the Business and Economic Development CAC on October 26, 2010, where it was approved and recommended for forwarding to the Council. On November 9, 2010, the Police CAC also voted to recommend the adoption of the proposed ordinance by Council. Previously, the Town Code included a chapter which regulated massage therapists and establishments. However, the State of Arizona assumed regulatory control over massage therapists and the Council repealed the massage business provisions of the Town Code in 2005 in order to avoid conflict with state law. The proposed ordinance will fill the gap created by the 2005 repeal without conflicting with state law. The purposes of the proposed ordinance are to enhance the professionalism of the massage service industry in the Town, protect the health and safety of the Town's citizens and reduce unprofessional practices. The ordinance establishes licensing requirements for both massage establishments and managers of those establishments. The licenses must be renewed each year. Applicants for licenses will be required to provide fingerprints for standard criminal history background checks which will be conducted by the Police Department. The ordinance also Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 27 of 60 provides for criteria under which a license may be denied, suspended, revoked or non - renewed. In addition, the proposed ordinance provides specific requirements regarding the massage establishment facilities. For example, the ordinance provides signage, indoor lighting and sanitary equipment regulations. The ordinance also provides that representatives of the police department, any other Town department, and any other federal, state or county agency may inspect the establishment when it is lawfully occupied or open for business to enforce the ordinance, a statute or a regulation relating to human health safety or welfare or structural safety. The ordinance also designates activities which are unlawful within the business. These include operating without the appropriate licenses, operating between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m., engaging in any sexual conduct or inappropriate touching, and using the business as living or sleeping quarters, among other activities. Any violation of the ordinance would be classified as a class one misdemeanor which, pursuant to state law, is punishable by up to six months in jail, $2500 in fines and three years of probation. The ordinance also establishes a number of fees associated with the application and licensing process. Consistent with the Town's philosophy of cost recovery, staff has researched the amount of time and effort that will be expended by Town staff in processing the various applications and forms required by the ordinance in order to recommend fee amounts to the Council. Specifically, staff recommends the following fees: 1. $ 75 - Application fee for massage establishment license 2. $ 25 - Application fee for manager license 3. $100 - First year license fee for massage establishment 4. $ 50 - First year license fee for manager 5. $100 - License renewal fee for massage establishment 6. $ 50 - License renewal fee for manager 7. $ 25 - Massage establishment location change application fee Upon Council direction, these fees will be brought back to Council as an amendment to the Town's comprehensive fee schedule.

Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 44 of 60 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin Ir League ^of Arizona " O P. 0 OW I*KOOW% C t A N D L 11S Legislative Bulletin — ISSUE 2 - JANUARY 14, 2011 Eye on the Capitol Because of the tragic events of last weekend, Arizona's 50th Legislature convened on Monday, January 10 on a somber note. Governor Brewer shelved her policy -laden state -of- the -state address and instead delivered a tribute to the victims of the shooting. The Governor does intend to release her plan for job creation, education and tax reform in short order. The text of her remarks to the Legislature can be viewed here. (attached, page 4) Legislative activity during the first week of the session was light. A few committees met for organizational and housekeeping purposes, and the House Committee on Employment and Regulatory Affairs did hold a hearing to consider four bills affecting the Arizona State Retirement System. (attached, page 8) The House and Senate moved with lightning speed to pass bipartisan legislation, signed by the Governor, to impose limits on protests at memorial services. The law was a response to plans of the Westboro Baptist Church to demonstrate at the funerals of individuals killed in Saturday's shooting rampage in Tucson. To date, lawmakers have introduced a total of 347 bills in the House and Senate. 144 of these measures - or 41% of all bills introduced - are categorized as "technical correction" bills. Such bills, often containing minor or grammatical changes to current law - are frequently used as 'striker" vehicles for ideas that surface after bill - filing deadlines. The large number of technical corrections bills suggests that legislators are eager to preserve their ability to introduce new measures into the legislative process after the formal deadlines for the introduction of bills: January 31 in the Senate and February 7 in the House. League staff reviews every introduced bill to analyze its potential impact on cities and towns. We are ever appreciative of input we receive from our membership with respect to introduced, potential or proposed legislation. State Budget Governor Brewers proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2012, released today, contains a number of initiatives designed to close a substantial state budget deficit, projected at $825 million for the current year and $1.4 billion for next year. To bring the budget into balance, the plan relies heavily on reductions to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. The commitment by the League of Arizona Cities and Towns to work as a cooperative partner with the Governor and legislative leaders to address the state's budget crisis is paying substantial dividends. While cities and towns will be asked to contribute to deficit reduction in some measure, the Governor's budget protects major sources of municipal revenue. We will continue to work closely with key decision - makers to promote a budget plan conducive Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 45 of 60 Page 1 of 8 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin to the economic growth of the cities and the state. League staff will perform a detailed analysis of the budget and report on those items that affect cities and towns. An electronic version of the Governor's proposed budget can be found here. ( hftp:// www .ospb.state.az.us /Budbooks.asp) Pension Reform Update On January 11, the House Employment and Regulatory Affairs Committee conducted a hearing on a package of four bills introduced by the chairman of the committee, Representative Bob Robson (R- Chandler). These bills represent the Arizona State Retirement System's (ASRS) legislative agenda for the year and contain mostly administrative changes. HB 2023 ASRS; long -term disability amendments stipulates that long -term disability benefits are not payable on claims filed more than 24 months after the date of the disability and authorizes ASRS to suspend or terminate benefits if a retiree fails to provide requested information. The bill was passed out of committee. HB 2024 ASRS; amendments contains the same provisions as HB 2023 and HB 2027. Additionally, the bill makes numerous changes to the statutes governing ASRS, including the method by which charter city retirement credits transfer to ASRS and the collection of delinquent payments. The bill was passed out of committee. HB2026 ASRS; administration makes administrative changes to the operations of ASRS, including exempting ASRS from the state's rulemaking procedures. There was extended discussion about the rulemaking exemption, which resulted in the bill being held. HB2027 ASRS; return to work; contributions requires certain persons who return to work to repay ASRS for payments improperly received. Additionally, the bill requires employers to pay an alternate contribution rate (ACR) for retired members who return to work and specifies how the ACR is calculated. Finally, the bill appropriates $150,000 from the ASRS administration account for the implementation of these provisions. The bill was passed out of committee. The League has not taken a formal position on this particular package of bills but will continue to closely monitor all legislation - and participate in the policy discussion - regarding pension reform. Hazardous and Solid Waste Program Fees Arizona State Representative Amanda Reeve and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality have issued an invitation to stakeholders to participate in a January 24 discussion of options for permanent adjustments to program fees designed to make the Solid and Hazardous Waste Programs self - sufficient. At the meeting, Rep. Reeve and ADEQ will discuss funding requirements, identify potential funding options, explain the legislative process (including timeframes) and solicit informal public comment on proposed changes to solid waste and hazardous waste fees.

Washington Street, Phoenix Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 46 of 60 Page 2 of 8 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin Legislator Profile - Representative Jeff Dial When asked whether he might have some time within the next several weeks to sit down and discuss his membership in the House of Representatives, freshman Representative Jeff Dial responds, "What are you doing right now ?" This no- time -like- the- present perspective will serve Rep. Dial well as he is called upon to address state challenges that are urgent and immediate.' Disarming and humble, Rep. Dial, age 34, is a Chandler Republican elected in 2010 to represent District 20. He addresses visitors as "sir' and is unfailingly polite, respectful and accessible. Exuding an appreciative manner, Rep. Dial clearly feels fortunate to have the opportunity to serve in the Arizona House. The third time was a charm for Rep. Dial, who narrowly failed to win two previous primary bids for the House, losing each contest by less than one percent. An exuberant extrovert, Mr. Dial has knocked on more than 30,000 doors in his legislative campaigns. Rep. Dial has resided in each of the three municipalities within District 20 - Phoenix, Chandler and Tempe - and understands the enormous challenges and responsibilities of cities and towns, which provide critical services to his urban constituents. Rep. Dial himself is a fan of Chandler's recreational facilities in general and its dog parks in particular. His chief legislative priorities are the creation of jobs and the growth of business opportunities. He has been rewarded by House leadership with the vice chairmanship of the Banking and Insurance Committee and also serves on the Military Affairs and Public Service Committee. A California native who grew up in Glendora, Rep. Dial moved to Arizona eleven years ago to attend Arizona State University as a political science major. He is the executive vice president of a family business, Dial Chemical Inc., and a licensed real estate agent. He likes hiking, movies and science fiction. Rep. Dial's recent election is a tribute to the virtues of perseverance and dogged pursuit of a dream. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns congratulates Rep. Dial and looks forward to working with him throughout the 50th Legislature. League Intern The Legislative Department welcomes Amy Price as our intern for the first session of the 50th Legislature. Amy is a Justice Studies major at Arizona State University and will be graduating this spring. She originally hails from El Centro, California.

Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 47 of 60 Page 3 of 8 STATE OF THE STATE Monday, January 10, 2011 by Governor Janice K. Brewer Good afternoon. Speaker Adams, President Pearce, Honorable Senators and Representatives of the Centennial Legislature, Chief Justice Berch and Justices of the Supreme Court, constitutional officers, tribal leaders, honored guests, and my fellow Arizonans: had intended to deliver a State of the State address to you today -- remarks that outline an exciting and solid plan for job creation, education, and tax reform ..... and I WILL deliver that plan to you. But, not now. Not today. Tragedy and terror sometimes come from the shadows — and steal our joy and take away our peace. That happened on Saturday when a gunman took away people we love, innocent people, and outstanding public servants — like U.S. District Judge John M. Roll. Judge Roll had just come from the light of a Catholic Mass — and confronted the darkness of a madman. The gunman gravely wounded others -- people we love and respect -- like Gabby Giffords, my good friend. This past weekend's events have caused me — caused all of us -- to reflect on many things, including how we respond to those terrible events. Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 48 of 60 Page 4 of 8 First, our response to this tragedy must be led by prayer and comfort for the victims and their families. So, please -- join me in a moment of silence as we pray for all those we've lost -- for the injured -- and for the suffering. Thank you. With our faith and our courage tightly in place, we will step forward from this Chamber, dedicated to the Lord's work -- continuing our service to the public. One year ago, from this very place, I told you I would serve beside you -- proud to serve the people of Arizona. I said then, that public service is acting NOT in self- interest -- but on behalf of others. And, I asked people to join me in the field. Gabby Giffords DID join me in the field. And, we worked together, knowing that when our public service ended, we would be judged LESS by what we achieved than what we over -came. In addition to Judge Roll -- Arizona also lost -- Dorothy Morris, Dorwan Stoddard, Phyllis Schneck, and Gabriel Zimmerman. Let me take a moment to recognize the acts of extraordinary Arizonans -- who responded with professionalism - -and saved lives -- law enforcement, emergency responders, the Tucson medical community, and the staff at the University Medical Center. Daniel Hernandez, a University of Arizona junior showed no fear in the face of gunfire. His quick action in going to Gabby Giffords' aid -- likely saved her life. Daniel is here today and I'm going to ask him to stand and receive the thanks of a grateful state. It was a sunny Saturday at the supermarket in Northwest Tucson. It was a picture of what our country is all about: Public servants doing their duty, citizens, old and young coming to hear -- coming to participate -- in the beauty of our government in action. We lost someone else on Saturday ... nine - year -old, Christina Green. Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 49 of 60 Page 5 of 8 She was just elected to her student council. She was hoping to be a positive part of the future of America. And, she has become just that. She loved baseball -- she was the only girl on her Little League baseball team; and she loved to wear red, white and blue. I should tell you, Christina was born on September 11th, 2001. She thought of her birthday as a day of hope -- a time to find goodness in America. As her mother said, "Her light shines on all of us today." Saturday's events were not just an attack on those individuals we loved and lost, but an assault on our Constitutional Republic -- on our democracy -- on all we treasure and hold dear -- as citizens and public servants. Arizona is in pain, yes. Our grief is profound. We are yet in the first hours of our sorrow -- but, we have not been brought down. We will never be brought down! In fact -- we've been lifted up by America's thoughts and prayers — and we're deeply grateful for them. Arizona, like all of America -- has been through difficult times before. But, those times have united us, and made us stronger -- more enduring. Let those of us who serve our state and country do so in a way that honors those we have lost. Our meetings on sunny days will not end. Like the words from Isaiah, I believe Arizona will rise on wings like eagles -- we will run, and not get weary -- we will walk, and not grow weak So -- I ask for your help -- and your continued prayers, as we step from here, and guide this Great State with courage and devotion. Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 50 of 60 Page 6 of 8 May God bless all the victims and their families and those suffering from Saturday's tragedy. May God bless those who serve us in the cause of freedom and justice. May He bless you and your families and our Great State of Arizona. And may God always bless and protect the United States of America. Thank you. Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 51 of 60 Page 7 of 8 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin League ot A Legislative Bulletin — ISSUE 2 - JANUARY 14, 2011 Pension Reform Update On January 11, the House Employment and Regulatory Affairs Committee conducted a hearing on a package of four bills introduced by the chairman of the committee, Representative Bob Robson (R- Chandler). These bills represent the Arizona State Retirement System's (ASRS) legislative agenda for the year and contain mostly administrative changes. HB 2023 ASRS; long -term disability amendments stipulates that long -term disability benefits are not payable on claims filed more than 24 months after the date of the disability and authorizes ASRS to suspend or terminate benefits if a retiree fails to provide requested information. The bill was passed out of committee. HB 2024 ASRS; amendments contains the same provisions as HB 2023 and HB 2027. Additionally, the bill makes numerous changes to the statutes governing ASRS, including the method by which charter city retirement credits transfer to ASRS and the collection of delinquent payments. The bill was passed out of committee. HB2026 ASRS; administration makes administrative changes to the operations of ASRS, including exempting ASRS from the state's rulemaking procedures. There was extended discussion about the rulemaking exemption, which resulted in the bill being held. HB2027 ASRS; return to work; contributions requires certain persons who return to work to repay ASRS for payments improperly received. Additionally, the bill requires employers to pay an alternate contribution rate (ACR) for retired members who return to work and specifies how the ACR is calculated. Finally, the bill appropriates $150,000 from the ASRS administration account for the implementation of these provisions. The bill was passed out of committee. The League has not taken a formal position on this particular package of bills but will continue to closely monitor all legislation - and participate in the policy discussion - regarding pension reform.

There was, however, a sharp spike in the number of new bills introduced in the House and Senate. Of the 739 measures that have been introduced to date, the League is closely monitoring 124 that have potential impacts on cities and towns. On January 18, Governor Brewer issued her policy agenda for the year ahead. The document, The Four Cornerstones of Government Reform, is a surrogate of sorts for the State of the State address that the Governor had intended to deliver on January 10. That policy -laden speech, however, was shelved following the shootings in Tucson on January 8. The four cornerstones of reform identified in the paper are economic competitiveness, education, state government and renewed federalism. The entire document can be viewed here. (Attached, page 5) A full calendar of legislative activity is slated for the week of January 24. House and Senate committees will consider legislation that would, among other things, affect regulation of lot splits, modify a municipality's right to abandon a federal General Land Office Patent Easement, and limit regulation of residential fire sprinklers. As always, the League deeply values your input with respect to these and other legislative issues affecting cities and towns. FY 2012 Budget Ov erview The Fiscal Year 2012 budget presented by Governor Brewer on January 14 tackles the enormous challenge of eliminating a deficit that the Office of the Governor estimates to be $764 million in fiscal year 2011 and $1.15 billion in fiscal year 2012. According to a recent study of the Brookings Institution and the Morrison Institute for Public Policy, Arizona has by far the largest structural deficit (on a percentage basis) of any state in the Intermountain West. The budget proposes to achieve balance through a series of reductions, rollbacks and gimmicks. The Governor's options are limited, largely because of previous reductions and the fact that fully 88% of the State's budget is composed of expenditures for education, corrections and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System ( AHCCCS). The explosion in the AHCCCS budget over recent years has been particularly alarming. Medicaid spending (administered through AHCCCS), which now consumes 29% of the State budget, has increased by nearly 65% over the Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 53 of 60 Page 1 of 8 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin past four years. Approximately 20% of Arizonans are now eligible for AHCCCS funding of medical care. The Governor's budget proposes a reduction of $541.5 million in Medicaid spending in Fiscal Year 2012. This is achieved by curtailing the eligibility of certain populations to receive state - funded medical care. Approximately 280,000 Arizonans would lose Medicaid coverage under the proposal. To accomplish such a reduction in the Medicaid rolls, Arizona must first receive a waiver of maintenance -of -effort requirements by the Obama Administration. To secure specific authority to seek such a waiver, Governor Brewer called the Legislature into special session on January 19. Both the House and Senate approved legislation on January 20 granting the authority sought by the Governor. Other significant budget elements include: a $170 million reduction in university funding; a $73 million cut to community colleges; a one -day "rollover loan" in the amount of $330 million from First Things First to the State; and the consolidation of various state agencies. Significantly, the Governor's proposed budget does not propose any changes to State Shared Revenue formulae. It does, however, include certain provisions that directly impact cities and towns, as described below. Municipal Impact: Department of Water Resources Fee Severe budget reductions to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) have inspired efforts to base the department's budget on the collection of fees for services rendered. Because the success of those efforts has been very limited to date, the Office of the Governor has proposed to expand the universe of customers from whom such fees are collected. Having determined that municipalities directly share in the benefit of DWR work, the Governor proposes to impose a new fee on cities and towns to help support the department. Details regarding this initiative have yet to be fully developed. The following description of the proposal is extracted from the Agency Detail Book: For FY 2012, the Executive recommends implementing user fees to be paid by municipalities in an effort to replace the unrealized fees established for FY 2011. These fees are expected to raise up to $7.0 million per year. Each municipality's fee will be population based. It is the Executive's recommendation that municipalities with populations under 10,000 be exempt from these fees. The League of Cities and Towns will continue to work closely with the Executive Branch and the Legislature as this initiative is considered and its details are developed in the much larger context of the overall state budget for fiscal year 2012. Municipal Impact - HURF Diversion The Executive Budget also includes a proposal to reduce the city and town allotment of Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) dollars by approximately $12.5 million. These funds would be diverted to support the budget of the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). While this initiative may have a significant impact on cities and towns, the proposal includes neither a permanent decrease in HURF allotments nor a statutory change to the HURF distribution formula. According to the Arizona Constitution, HURF funds may be used only for construction and maintenance of streets, roads and highways, and for the enforcement of traffic laws on state highways. Accordingly, the prospective diversion of funds to DPS seems to represent a legally permissible use of HURF dollars. Subdivision Regulation HB 2005, introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Burges, chair of the House Committee on Government, would affect local regulation of subdivisions. Among other things, the bill requires that, for subdivisions of ten or Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 54 of 60 Page 2 of 8 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin fewer lots, municipalities either expedite processing or waive preliminary plat requirements altogether. At a committee hearing on January 18, the bill encountered stiff resistance. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns registered its opposition to the bill, as did the County Supervisors Association of Arizona and individual political subdivisions. As a consequence, the bill was held in order to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to negotiate a compromise with the legislation's principal proponent, an independent broker. The League participated in a stakeholder meeting on January 21 and continues to work with legislators and other interested parties to eliminate or mitigate the measure's impact on cities and towns. Spice During Thursday's House Judiciary Committee meeting, House Bill 2167 (definition of dangerous drugs; synthetic) passed unanimously. Representative Amanda Reeve (R - Phoenix) sponsored the legislation, designed to remove a synthetic marijuana -like drug from the market. The substance, nicknamed "Spice," has been known to cause severe impairment (including loss of speech) in users. The League was party to stakeholder meetings on the bill and supported the measure as a means to enhance public safety and health. Legislator Profile - Representative Amanda Reeve When Amanda Reeve was very young, her father, a C -level executive with a Fortune 500 pedigree, retired from corporate America to follow a dream: to become a cowboy in the wide open spaces of the West. Following a stint as a cattle rancher in Texas, he ultimately established the Reeve Hereford Ranch in Durango, Colorado, where the future representative was reared. Representative Reeve, the proud product of a tight -knit family, learned many life lessons from her father, not the least of which were the value of thorough research and the importance of following one's dreams. "My father researches everything," Rep. Reeve fondly explains. When he reinvented himself as a cattleman, he researched different breeds of cattle and learned that Herefords were among the tamest. Consequently, he acquired a herd of the mellow creatures and put his family to work. 'They were more like pets," remembers Rep. Reeve, who often shared living space with the cows who wandered into her family's ranch house. As the 34- year -old lawmaker discharges her duties as the chair of the Committee on Environment, the research gene that she inherited is getting quite a workout. The detail- oriented northwest Phoenix Republican, representing District 6, also serves on the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the Committee on Higher Education, Innovation and Reform. Rep. Reeve was appointed to the House on February 17, 2010 to fill the vacancy left by the departure of former Rep. Sam Crump, who resigned to run for Congress. She was elected to her first full term this past November. Resisting both the lure of Clean Elections funding and the counsel of advisers to send negative mailers, Rep. Reeve was the top vote - getter in the 2010 primary and general elections for a District 6 House seat. Energetic, smart and tireless, Rep. Reeve powers through her jam - packed days on the fuel of dedication, rather than the stimulant of caffeine. In addition to her legislative responsibilities, Rep. Reeve works in the environmental and natural resources practice group of Polsinelli Shugart and is a masters candidate in the Environmental Technology Management graduate program at Arizona State University. Managing multiple responsibilities is nothing new for Rep. Reeve. Growing up in Durango, she simultaneously worked on the ranch, attended school, participated in 4 -H, and helped out with the family's hotel business. While other youth were relaxing and attending parties, Rep. Reeve found social engagement in cattle branding and inoculation shindigs. Regular Council Meeting - February 1, 2011 - Page 55 of 60 Page 3 of 8 League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin A supporter of local autonomy, Rep. Reeve believes that cities and towns should not be subjected to unfunded mandates by the state. Recognizing that localities have already absorbed substantial budgetary cuts, she would oppose efforts to reduce local government's share of state - collected tax revenues. Following her graduation from California State University at Sacramento (where she studied communications and public relations), Rep. Reeve moved to Phoenix and fell in love with the state. She finds that Arizona is a great place to pursue dreams and make a difference. And that ain't no bull - Hereford or otherwise.
