ADJOURNMENT MARANtA '� 1 } 7 Council -Study Session Meeting Date: 01/12/2016 To: Mayor and Council Submitted For: Gilbert Davidson, Town Manager From: Erik Montague, Finance Director Date: January 12, 2016 Strategic Plan Focus Area: Commerce, Community, Heritage, Recreation, Progress & Innovation Strategic Plan Focus Area Additional Info: Financial sustainability, quality public service, strategic partnerships and local resource investment are overriding principles of the Strategic Plan. D1 Subject: Relating to Administration; presentation, discussion and direction regarding the framework for development of the fiscal year 2016 -2017 budget and its role in the implementation of the Strategic Plan, including potential future annexations and the development of a Neighborhood Investment Plan (Gilbert Davidson and Erik Montague) Discussion: This item brings forward the framework for development of the fiscal year 2016 -2017 budget as a tool for implementation of the Town's Strategic Plan. On January 6, 2015, Council approved the Strategic Plan III. The Marana Strategic Plan is the Council's policy document for the future vision of the community. The initiatives and goals included within the Strategic Plan drive services and programs in future years which will be included in the annual budget documents. While the local economy has largely recovered, the State budget has structural budget challenges over the next few budget cycles which will likely impact the development of Marana's fiscal year 2016 -2017 budget and future budgets. Because of the varying levels of recovery between the local, state and national economies, we must maintain a thoughtful investment strategy that continues to place resources in areas that maintain or enhance core services, where appropriate. It is anticipated that the local revenue base will slowly continue to grow for at least the next two budgetary cycles. In addition, tonight's presentation is to provide a status overview of certain elements of the Strategic Plan, provide a preliminary outlook into major revenue sources, discuss key issues going into the fiscal year 2016 -2017 budget, and discuss issues requested by Council. In particular, a presentation related to possible annexations in Pinal County and other strategic annexations within the Town's planning area will be highlighted. Supplemental materials will be provided at the meeting. Potential Annexations As part of the 2016 -17 budget kick -off, members of the Town Council were asked to submit any initial requests for discussion by the whole Council at the January 12th Study Session. Mayor Honea has asked for some analysis related to future annexations. Contained within the Commerce Section of Strategic Plan III is an initiative to "explore opportunities for annexation to enhance economic activity centers, including land within the Town's General Plan Planning Area." Specifically, Town staff analyzed the potential annexation of the Pinal Airpark area, including the Red Rock community. In addition, there are other areas for potential annexation into the Town, including existing County islands (Twin Peaks Road and Interstate 10, Rillito) and other properties adjacent to the Town that have potential commercial /retail value. Each annexation area poses opportunities and challenges, which can be discussed in greater detail as part of the Study Session. The following annexation documents will be provided to Council prior to the meeting: 1 Annexation Strategy Map (including a more detailed strategy for Pinal annexations) 2. Pinal County Annexation Cost - Benefit Analysis I Red Rock Village Master Plan layout 4. Potential annexation area map within Marana's planning boundary Neighborhood Investment Plan Every Marana neighborhood should have infrastructure that is standard and consistent throughout the entire Town. Streets, drainage, utilities, sidewalks, parks, lighting, and signage should reflect the quality of community desired by all. No matter the age of the neighborhood or whether it has a Homeowner's Association or not, Marana neighborhoods should showcase community values and commitment to quality. This initiative, if approved, is a long -term project to upgrade every neighborhood to a standard throughout the community. Each of the identified neighborhoods will be reviewed by a special team of staff with emphasis on the condition or lack of essential public infrastructure. Community engagement meetings and creative social media outreach techniques will be used to solicit input and feedback from current residents. The neighborhood investment plan will be a part of the Town's Capital Improvement Plan, approved by Council, and funding will be allocated each year to various neighborhood improvement projects through the annual budget development process (depending on funds available). Next Steps 1 - Develop a neighborhood investment plan 2. Incorporate into Town CIP and budget review process 3. Council approval of overall neighborhood investment plan This item will be for discussion purposes and may include Council direction. Staff Recommendation: Presentation only. Suggested Motion: Council's pleasure. Attachments No file (s) attached. AgendaQuick©2005 - 2016 Destiny Software Inc., All Rights Reserved
