The slowdown in the nation�a economy has created both challenges-and dpportunities in our quest to accomplish our mission. TREO has experienced gains over the pr�vious �rear in the number of both recruitment and expansion projects; h�w���r, the weaker economy has resulted in fewer jobs created. Companies are more ��utious and conservative with expansion plans. Many projects have been dela�ed c�r cancelled. The weakening of the U.S. dotlar, however, has created significant o�p�ortunities in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Our inquiries from �orei�r� firms, specifically from Europe, have increased substantially. The organization has settled into a more �r�dictable pattern as the start-up process has stabilized. Many of the tasks and req�irements associated with a start up are eomplete. Most of the cotiateral materials, data development, and program creation have been accomplished. The processes �nd procedures such as empfoyee manuals, procurement standards, inrrestr��nt policies, etc., have been developed. With three years comple#ed and a ba�anc�d budget each year, the financial stability of TF�EO is significant for a young orc�aniz��ion. The process of building an effective team is nearly complete. The majorit� of �I�� management team has worked together for three years and the identifica�i�n of gaps and assets has resulted in a stabilization of productivity. Our credibility continu�s to increase due t� performance. On a national and state- wide basis, TREO is seen as a successful r�odel for regional economic development. The Tucson region continu�� to be recognized as an economic development leader for both recruitment ���cesses and strategic planning. This year TREO was again-recognized via nor�inations, awards, and publica#�ons for economic development success. On the Ic�al front, TRE4's reputation is gaining although not at the pace as it has statewi�� or nationally. This is due in part to local perception of past economic development ��ilures. Increasingly, TREO is in a leadership position on issues that impact tl�e region involving a variety of topics. A strong validation of this growing credibility i� the growth and sustainability of the private sector investment in TREO. The past fiscal year has been extremely s�t�cessful. Despite the downtum in the economy, TREO has managed to accom��i�h its mission, compete nationally and maintain financial stability. The following is a summary of the major ��omplishmen#s of TREO in fiscal year 2007-2008. Also included are fiscal year ��08-2009 priorities as approved by the TREO Board of Directors on June 20, 20��. A,udited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 will be pr��rided no later than September 30, 2008.

This mission is critical to reduce duplication of efforts and prioritize limited resources. With this mission and purpose is mind, TF��:O has developed and adopted an Economic Blueprint to act as a guide in th� development of a competitive globaf economy. Within the Blueprint frameworl�, �'RE0 is focused on the following: • To create opportunities tha# will giv� a greater number of people b�tter access to wealth through economi� growth. • To increase the tax base of govem�tent�/comrnunities in order to provide higher quality services to citizens. • To diversify the economic base, th��eby cushioning the community agains# economic shocks. In the Tucson region, TREO focuses on b��iness attraction, expansion and company formation as a method to create wealfih far �he region. The region's eight chambers of commerce and 36 service providers fo��� their efforts on business support services, workforce assistance, training, n�fworking, educational programs and advocacy. Whv Does TREO Focus on Primary Jobs�' In an effort to create eeonomic opportunity �nd wealth generatian, TREO employs a series of strategies focused on the creati�r� of primary, or base, jobs. Prim�ry jabs are de#ined as jobs which produce goods �r�d services in excess of what can be consumed by the local market. Those go�ds not consumed by the local market are exported to other markets in exch�nge fo� rnoney, or export income. That exchange brings new wealth into our community. i� � 1 � � � � T � ��� � � � �`� � s ����� ������ _ ___ � �_ �. � _�� � .--�_ � �� �� ,� � � •� e �`��.4 � # .,. � # ,: � �.. �, —� ..� . �-� � � � �� �������� � ������� � �� r�ta�� ������ ���� ��� i�������� �r��.��� ��� �����t�� �� ��g ��������t�. ��i� �� ������� r����� �����e�� ������� �v���s� �� �r�� �r� ���i���l� ���r�i�� r����� t��� ��� ������� ����a `°����t��°° �y ��6���€� �r�������� �� ����� ��°��. �� �� n�� �`���� �����.�� a������ s���� ��n����������� � � � �; ��� � � f�� �t� ��� d Q � � � E���� ����� �� l� s f��� f!" �� � �� � c��� i� � � �r��� �� � � ti�� . i��€�i���� R��ur�� � � � ��` f ��7 ��#�`�� ��° � �1�` ��� ���er��,€I ������ �� � � ����n����������� ��� ����I����r��t�� ��p����� ����� �� °�R�� ����� ��������� i� �r����� �� �� ��� r���� ����� �� �������� �c�� c�� ��i�� �� ��r�����. ����rt� ��� �� T �� ���� ��s��t�� �� � ����t �� ��� ������� p����r�� �u� �� ��� ����s �� ���� ����� �r����c�a � r �� i �� � . ��� � � � ��� � ��� � � � � ��� � � � ��� ��f� ��_�� � � � r � � a � �� i������ ���������#����� ��.���,���� � ir��� � r���aa��������� �� ���� � �� � � n ��r��l �� ��������� � � � a a � � �-A � 4 � x � � ' 1 � c�� �� � r���r������� � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� �� �� � : �i ��� ��°� ���� � � �� �� �� � ����� �� ��:�� � ���� ���� � � � � � ar � � � � � � �� �� ���� �� � ��� � i� � ���� � .,� a � ��1 �� �� ���� � �� ���� � � ��� Ra���� � � ���� � ���r�l� � � � � � � e $ � � � �� � �� � ���� �� � �¢� i � � � : a b ���� ��� �� ��.������������� , , ����1 ������ _ �� ����� m���R�..w.$��� ����. ��� �� 7 �����g¢���m.��,���a���������s$m¢� ����� � t� ��r� �������g������ 0 � ��� .�������m��.g�.���a�#���� ��� ������ � € ��� ���� �t��a���������e.re�������s������s� � , ��� �r������ ��` �����������.�s��s.�� � p � ��•�:���� ,.. ��� � � � � � � � � � � � �a �� � ��� � �r��� ������ �r��� � ����� � ������ � ����i"�3 �t��`��� � ����� �� � � �t�� ������� r��� 4�c���A � i�����t���� � ��g���i�� � ����r � ,��r������f ���€��� § �fi� �������r �r���ir� _ ����� ������� ��������� g ��i���l ������� r���i�� _ �k� ������� �e ��� ���� �� k��� ��: � �r� 1�� ; ��t �� � ������� �� r��� ����t� � f�°� � �i� ������° ��a �€�t��i���� � ���i�i#��� ������ ���r' �r�����r� � r��t�� ������i��r �� ��a �� �� ����r� ��� ����s�r�s� ���� ` ����� �����€ ���� t�� � � �� ���i�� � � ��._�� ��r���� ������I / �- I� � �a�r �r�� ���1�� �� � � � � r �� � �t��°��ti���� `.�r����� ��' ���������� ���� � r ��� �r� � � � ����r� �� � � �� � ������� �� ���� �� ��r� ���� ' �����1��� � ����i�� � � � r���� ����r�t ��t���i ���� '�« ����r� � �� �r ����� � i� �� ��� t��°��f� �����t���� � � ` ��it�� ����� �r�t � ° � ���t��� �� �, ������ � �� �������� � ���r ��� ,r ��� �����tr��� �t� ������ ��� i�1�� '��°� � ��� ����� � � ! �r���� � �, � ���������� i;s� � �������: ������� �r�� � ���I� � � �� ��1�r � �' ���r���� � �� ������r �� � �if� �� � � � . � �i� .. ........... . � � � �� � r » �c���l ���� �� �r �r�� �t��lc� ��t ��� � �� "��� ���� �����tr� �I�rs�i� ������� �� � ��������� �� ��� ri�� tr�#� ��� �> �� i�������I ��������� � ��r� �� ����� i� ����a�r��i � �s ����C�� �� ��� �r���� ������ � �a �°�� N����t��� ��°�a r��� �� 1����� ��� ���� ���i� ��t �� ���� ����� �� � � ��t� � � ti� � � CC���� � �� C��4�`�� �� �r���� ��t�� �� �� ��i�� � � �r �� ���r��� ������ � r���t ���� �° i������r �� r� � ����� ������° �����i�i��ti��a ����tl�� ���� �> ������� ���t� ��� ���I���i��� � �a�� ��f�s( �ca � fi���� ��� � �r�� � ����� �� ��� �� ��t �������� Marana faces $1.3M sewer-line suit I www.azstarnet.com � re��?�r���� _ � r��"��� � �w�r.da� �t�; "� � - . ;� �y � �+��r�.:���t�r�!�t���,�i Published: 07.15.2008 Marana faces $1.3M sewer-line suit Firm that finished project blames data for cost overruns By ]osh Brodesky ARIZONA DAILY STAR The insurance company that had to finish the long-delayed Honea Heights sewer project after the original builder went bankrupt has sued Marana in federal court to recover $1.3 million in cost overruns. More than 13,000 linear feet of sewer lines were supposed to be laid down by May 2006 for the Honea Heights neighborhood, consisting of 276 homes near West Moore and North Sanders roads. But the sewer was completed only recently after concerns arose that the soil in the area was not of good enough quality to backfill the lines. Those concerns led to delays and cost overruns as work repeatedly stalled, replacement dirt had to be brought in and the originai contractor filed for bankruptcy. The project originally was handled by Pima County — and the lawsuit erroneously names Pima County — but control of the project was turned over to Marana last winter along with any liability, said Marc Natelsky of the Pima County Attorney's Office's civil division. DID YOU KNOW Page 1 of 2 Honea Heights, at West Moore and North Sanders roads, is Marana's first planned subdivision, created in the mid-1950s by Ray Honea, father of current Mayor Ed Honea. Ray Honea, one of the town's founders and a member of its first Town Council in 1977, said he initially subdivided tlie property into lots that were just over 19,000 square feet, which he sold for $300. Many of the streets there are named for family members or old-time residents and friends. Numerous efforts to speak with Marana town attorneys were unsuccessful, although in a phone message, "Town Attorney Frank Cassidy said his office is handling the suit. The suit was filed by Iowa-based United Fire & Casualty Co., which bonded the project and is seeking reimbursement for soii-replacement work it had to pay for after the project's first contractor, Grimm Inc., went broke. Attorneys with United Fire would not comment. Essentially, United Fire claims Pima County failed to do a comprehensive soil sample, and, in turn, led Grimm and other bidders to believe the project would cost less than it actually did. The county's soil report "did not contain enough information to give Grimm and other bidders a reasonable . expectation of the actual existing soil's condition," the suit says. "By way of example, only two boring test logs were taken of the 95-acre project site for the entire 13,000 linear feet of sewer main and lateral lines that were to be installed. Two borings is grossly inadequate and far below the 13 to 26 test borings expected for a project of this size." After Grimm filed for bankruptcy, United Fire hired Highland Engineering in November 2006 to finish the project. Highland, in turn, worked on the project from January through July 2007 before stopping because of spending limits. The county then found a third contractor to finish the work, but United Fire filed its notice of claim in January. To keep the construction going, Marana and the county entered into an agreement to transfer complete control of the project to Marana in return for having the town assume the liability issues.
