weeks. Shannon Shula, with the Planning Department, gave an overview of social media and
community connection points that were put together for the benefit of citizens and parents of the
students who will be going to Denver. She began with an online map with current live feed. The
feed is interactive over the 916 miles they will be traveling, so the progress of the bus with the 20
students can be tracked from beginning to end. She continued to point out various clips of the
students' rehearsals with software called Photo Journal.
Sarah Ross, Choir Teacher and co- choreographer of the performance, introduced each of the six
of twenty students who gave their age and grade in school. Among the students are singers,
actors, painters, skilled in set construction, writers, dancers and slant poets. They started
rehearsing in May on their own tine. 'I'he civic engagement they are being exposed to and the
opportunities they will have to talk about the All - American competition presentation is
invaluable and gives them a much broader view of their community than they had before. After
singing a preview of one of the songs they will be performing in the competition, the students
introduced themselves and their age and class in the fall of 2016. Jose Gonzalez, age 17 and a
senior; Taylor Nixon, age 17 and a senior; will Klein, age 16 and a junior; Hannah Stock, age 16
and a junior; Jonathan Emmerick, age 16 and a senior; Emma winters, age 16 and a junior.
Mr. Davidson again thanked Sarah and Heidi Barton, the Drama Teacher at Marana High
School, for their commitment and the detail they have put into this and last year's rehearsals with
the script and song. They and the students are incredible representatives of this community. It
will be a very exciting event for everyone.

Marana and Pima County for the provision of animal control services within the Town of
Marana. Lisa Shafer gave a brief overview of the item and noted that staff came before Council
with the item and presented in greater detail at the May 17, 2017 Council meeting. Council gave
staff direction at that time to gather more information on alternatives for animal care in our
jurisdiction. Staff is moving forward with that. In the meantime, we will go forward with the
existing intergovernmental agreement and a one -year extension with Pinta County Animal Care.
This will give us time to do the ground research and bring the options back to Council. we do
have the ability in the current agreement to give a 60 -day cancellation, so if we do come up with
a solution, then we will be able to that. Staff is recommending approval. emotion to approve by
