BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES April 21, 2015 Meeting Minutes 2 COUNCIL ACTION A I Ordinance No. 201.5.010 Relating to Annexation; annexing into the corporate limits of the Town of Marana that territory known as the Tiffany Loop and Twin Peaks Annexation, being an approximately 9.2 acre parcel of property generally located on the north side of Twin Peaks Road between Tiffany Loop and the Casa Grande Highway (Interstate 10), and establishing original Town of Marana zoning (Cynthia Ross). Presented by Frank Cassidy on behalf of Ms. Ross. He noted that most of the property around the parcel is town limits. The original zoning is exactly what was agreed to. This property owner was the successful bidder on the Pioneer remnant which is next door. On Friday, ADOT finally adopted its resolution on the right of way, and the property owner didn't want to finish the annexation until it was sure it was going to be able to close on the Pioneer piece. That's why it has waited this long. On the day this annexation becomes effective, May 22, 2015, we'll close on the sale of the Pioneer remnant to San Joaquin so that they'll own both of those parcels. Motion to approve by Council Member McGorray, second by Vice Mayor Post. Passel un an itno usly. A 2 Resolution 2015035 Relating to Administration; approving the transfer of up to $48,000 in budgeted expenditure authority from the General Fund contingency line item to the Honea Heights Sewer Program in the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Department budget for fiscal year 2014 -2015 for expenses related to the � lonea Heights Sanitary Sewer Conversion Project (Gilbert Davidson). Mr. Da noted that in 2013 there was money set aside for sewer improvements, but for various reasons, it wasn't to be, and there has been a commitment that some of our older neighborhoods are able to hook into the sewer system. A program was put together in 2013 where we had allocated $75K out of the general fund for the individual hookups. There wasn't much activity that year. This fiscal year a number of septic systems have failed, and we have used $72,500 and at least two more pending residents that have come to the town in need as their septic has failed per our review policy. If we hold them off, it could cost them. $450 a month to pump the septic system, so we are asking for the $48K from contingency to this line item to hook up more residents into the sewer system. Motion to approve by Council Member McGorray, second by Co Member Ziegler.
