' Subject: Resolution No. 2013-011: Relating to Community Development; approving and authorizing Town staff to submit the Town of Marana's list of proposed bond projects to the Pima County Bond Advisory Committee for consideration for inclusion in future Pima County general obligation bond elections Discussion: During the February 5, 2013 Council meeting, staff asked Council to approve a list of priority projects to be forwarded to the Pima County Bond Advisory Committee. At that time, staff was directed to come back to Council with additional information and a mare detailed description of the projects under consideration. The following information was provided in the February 5, 2013 agenda packet: In the fall of 2006 the Town of Marana submitted twelve (12) projects to the Pima County Bond Advisory Committee to be considered for inclusion in the Pima County General Obligation Bond Election proposed for November 2008. Projects submitted at that time were ranked by importance based on current and anticipated community needs and in accordance with priorities outlined in the Town's General Plan. When the eeonomic downturn took hold in early 2008, the Pima County Bond Committee recommended that the Board of Supervisors not move any bond initiatives forward during the 2008 or 2009 election cycles. In October 2009, Mayor Honea sent a letter addressed to Chairperson Larry Hecker respectfully requested that the Pima County Bond Advisory Committee consider the Town's revised project worksheets, budgets, and priority rankings as the committee worked toward finalizing a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Recommendations were made for each of the project areas established by the Bond Committee: (1) Historic Preservation; (2) Community Facilities; (3) Health Facilities; (4) Affordable Housing; (5) Parks and Recreation; and (6) Public Works. The list of priority Study Session - February 12, 2013 - Page 3 of 6 projects was adopted by the Council pursuant to Resolution No. 2009-185. It has now been more than six years since the Town first submitted the projects to Pima County. During this time, economic factors, unanticipated changes in regional growth patterns, shifting community needs and the development of the Town's Strategic Plan have changed the scope, scale, and anticipated cost of the projects, such that some projects may need to be withdrawn and others added for consideration during a future bond election. Staff has evaluated the projects both submitted and pending submission by the Town and is providing Mayor and Council with a recommendation on priorities for a possible 2014 or 2015 election. A brief description ofthose prajects will be presented for Council approvaL Projects included are: Active Requests: Marana Culture and Heritage Park Barnett Linear Channel Drainage and Park Lower Santa Cruz River Levee Affordable Housing (Marana Set Aside) Neighborhood Reinvestment (Marana Set Aside) North Marana Library and Multi-Generational Community Center Bureau of Reclamation Sports Park Southern Marana Multi-Generational Community Center Projects Removed: Twin Peaks Drainage Camino Martin Drainage Projects Submitted for Community Partners: Marana Health Center Expansion New Projects - to be submitted March 2013: Marana Performing Arts/Comrnunity Center Staff recommendation for prioritization is included in this packet. If approved, an updated packet of projects will be forwarded to the Chair of the Pima County Bond Advisory Committee to be considered duruig their February 15, 2013 meeting for inclusion in a 2014 or 2015 special bond electiom packet.
