PRESENTATIONS
Pi Relating to the Marana Regional Airport: Presentation by the Marana Aviation
Foundation regarding its mission and planned activities that enhance the visibility of the Marana
Regional Airport (Steve Miller). Introduced by Steve Miller and presented by Al Aven, the
executive director of the Marana Aviation Foundation. Mr. Miller stated that the foundation
was incorporated as an Arizona nonprofit last summer. This organization will complement what
town staff is doing at the airport in the way of safety, education and community engagement. Al
Aven addressed Council and noted that the foundation was a collaboration between he and Mr.
Miller. There are five voting members, and Mr. Miller is an ex- officio member. The primary
mission is to support the operations at the Marana Regional Airport in the areas mentioned by
Mr. Miller. One of their safety efforts is to get a control tower. The foundation is also
sponsoring FAA safety seminars on topics such as Tucson weather, drones. Upcoming seminars
will be on the new radio requirements, cross - country trip planning, photography, aviation
medicine, FAA regulations, airplane maintenance and local charitable flight organizations.
Educational outreach is one of the main components of the foundation. They will be helping to
sponsor the Marana High School aviation program's Build -A- Plane, for which the students will
receive academic credit. Eagle's Nest, an offshoot of the Experimental Aircraft Association, will
be putting a project together for the students to build a piston airplane. The foundation also
learned that another company wants the students to learn to build a single- seater mini jet. One of
the board members wants to become a mentor for students to learn metal working and aircraft
painting and art sculpture. Future plans consist of a working aviation museum and a plane wash.
Proceeds from the plane wash will go to special projects at the high school. The Marana Flight
School will be working with the high school's aviation program to offer ground school and flight
instruction. If funds are available, the foundation hopes to offer a partial scholarship for the flight
training. They are also hoping to offer scholarships for higher education in aviation.
Community service is another topic for the foundation. They have already contacted Public
Works to adopt a roadway for the mile stretch on Sandario Road to Twin Peaks and also the road
that leads to the hangars on the west side of the field. The foundation also hopes to raise funds
for Marana -based charities including the Food Bank. They will also try to promote the building
of a multi - purpose room at the airport. Dr. Aven has also been writing articles for the Explorer
and Marana News about the different businesses and events at the airport. The main event that
the foundation will be sponsoring is the Marana Air Expo on October 29, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. The funding will come from sources other than the Town. The vision is for a lot of
static displays, something in the air at all times, plane rides, aviation art vendors, demonstrations,
food trucks, safety seminars and music. Funding will come from corporate grants, sponsorships,
advertising, individual contributions and various fees from events.
December 15, 2015 Meeting Minutes
A formal agreement will be drawn between the foundation and the town outlining what the role
of the foundation will be and will include use of facilities and equipment. The foundation is
totally committed to supporting the airport master plan. He noted that membership on the board
is open to anyone with an interest in aviation. The presentation and the foundation efforts
received very favorable comments from the Council.

Sanders Road, with the main focus of the study being on ecosystem restoration. With the
ecosystem restoration came flood control benefits to protect the restoration as well as supply
water to the restoration and recreation benefits. The study has been in progress for some time.
Council passed a resolution in 2001 to become a participating sponsor of the Tres Rios del Norte
study along with City of Tucson, Pima County and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). The
Corps was going to pay for 75 percent of the study, and the three local sponsors would split the
remaining 25 percent. There was a large federal cost - sharing match for the town to participate.
At the time we did the study with the Corps that made us eligible for the construction match. So
if the project went to construction, the federal government would be paying for 65 percent of the
construction costs of the study, and the local sponsors would be paying for 35 percent.
December 15, 2015 Meeting Minutes
From the study, the town received hydrology, hydraulics, drainage reports, environmental
studies, geotech studies, groundwater, and water quality information, which is the focus of
tonight's presentation. What follows would be the design and construction of the project. From
the feasibility study, nine alternatives were warranted, and over a number of years, there were
different demands on water depending on the alternative selected. What happened since
inception were changes to the water supply. Assumptions were made based on the value and
cost of water, which has risen. To build these projects would cost a large amount of water, the
availability and cost for which continues to rise, as well as the infrastructure for water and
recharge features.
Looking long -term, staff is estimating $18M -$20M per year for the entities to split the cost of
maintaining the project at build -out. Because this is coming from a federal match, the local
parties would be responsible for maintaining this is perpetuity. The town has no legal obligation
to stay in the project, and the City of Tucson withdrew in 2009, which also took more water out
of the project. At this time, staff is proposing that the town also withdraw from the study.
Council Member Kai asked Ms. Christelman to elaborate on the restoration features. Ms.
Christelman noted that the restoration varied, depending on the alternative that was selected. It
had open water at different areas along the river. It had mesquite bosques, cotton bosques and
shrub areas. Council Member Kai stated that he met with Carolyn Campbell and Christine
McVie who support this project and would like to keep it going. Council Member Bowen asked
what the impetus was for this project and who proposed it. Ms. Christelman noted that it
originally started as an interest or mechanism by Pima County, City of Tucson and Marana to
maintain water in the river. Council Member Bowen asked what the by- product would be if the
project does not go forward. Ms. Christelman responded that the assumption was made that
without a project there was no certainty that water would remain in the river for restoration, and
much of the water has already been withdrawn from the project. In response to an inquiry from
Council Member Ziegler, Ms. Christelman stated that there has been a lot of progress from the
studies in the last 14 years. The ultimate vision of staff based on the studies is to move forward
with local projects that would support the goal of Tres Rios, but without the financial obligation.
Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Post, second by Council Member Kai. Passed unanimously.

Mayor Honea opened the public hearing. Frank Cassidy presented, noting that this item was
brought before Council previously during a study session. Staff has been updating the Land
Development Code for some time. Now that the substantive provisions of the code will be
handled by an outside consultant, staff decided that it would be the logical time to bring forward
the procedures and administrative elements of the code and clean them up. It also seemed
prudent to bring forward the technical provisions such as the Floodplain Code and the
Stormwater Code that the consultant will not handle, and put them in Title 17 of the town code.
Mr. Cassidy then proceeded to discuss the documents, such as what was included in the packets
and what was not as well as side by side comparisons of current and proposed changes in the
Land Development Code.
Council Member Bowen noted that this project was a mammoth undertaking, and he
commended Mr. Cassidy and the staff who worked on this. He asked if this portion of the
changes was done with the consultant to which Mr. Cassidy responded that this project was
done internally. The substantive land rights entitlement was not done internally. Mr. Cassidy
noted that the provisions being adopted today can be found online in the Town Code under Title
17 — Land Development Code (reserved). Mayor Honea asked for any speakers from the
audience. There were none. Mayor Honea closed the public hearing. There being no further
questions from the Council, Council Member Bowen moved to approve Ordinance No.
2015.021 and Resolution No. 2015 -134 as recommended, seconded by Council Member
Ziegler. Passed unanimously.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION /POSSIBLE ACTION
D 1 Relating to Legislation and Government Actions; discussion and possible action
regarding all pending state, federal, and local legislation/government actions and on recent and
upcoming meetings of the other governmental bodies (Gilbert Davidson). Mr. Davidson noted
that staff is preparing for the next legislative session in January, and at the January 5 council
meeting, staff will be bringing forward the annual authorizations for key municipal issues. This
is in accordance with the Arizona League of Cities and Towns and the things we typically argue
about with the Legislature such as state shared revenues, impacts on local governance and the
ability to make local laws.
December 15, 2015 Meeting Minutes
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. Council Member Ziegler asked if Council and staff should be
looking at active shooter training or presentations for local businesses and staff given the recent
climate of incidents around the country. She noted that the Tucson Police Department is offering
public trainings, and she will be attending a class next week.
ADJOURNMENT. Motion to adjourn by Council Member McGorray, second by Council
Member Bowen. Passed unanimously.
