Financial Brief—4th Quarter 2017
Summary
This financial brief is intended to provide a broad ri
overview and status of revenues and expendituresw .
for the Town's General Fund, as well as other
u
selected major funds. Funds listed in this financial .
brief are the General Fund, Bed Tax Fund, Highway
User Revenue Fund (HURF), % Cent Sales Tax Fund, "
Water Fund, and Waste Water Fund.
rt
Revenues for General Fund and HURF are in line
a
with expectations through the end of the fiscal
year (July 2016 —June 2017). Revenues for Bed Tax
Fund and Water Fund modestly exceeded projected expectations for the fiscal year. This can be
attributed to increased growth in economy and faster growth in the customer base than
projected. Revenues for % Cent Sales Tax Fund and Wastewater Fund are slightly below
projected expectations. An aggressive revenue projection for the % Cent Sales Tax Fund can be
attributable to collections falling below expectations. This will be accounted for in future fiscal
year projections with a more conservative outlook.
Additionally, expenditures for major funds are below projected expectations for the fiscal year.
The large variance in the Water and % Cent Sales Tax Funds is attributable to below projected
expenditures in capital outlay, which will be carried forward into the next fiscal year.

The graph above compares sales tax revenues through the end of fiscal year with previous fiscal
years. This graph is intended to provide a representation of trend for major categories of tax
collection revenues. The most significant change is a year over year increase in retail
collections and is primarily related to a modest improvement in collections for certain major
retailers and the addition of the Tucson Premium Outlets. It is important to note that the
number presented here does not include the additional %% in restricted revenues for the public
safety facility. Those revenues are recorded in a separate fund.

Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF)
HURF is set by the collection of various fees and taxes from users of the State's roads and
highways which the State of Arizona collects. An excise tax is charged on fuel purchases on a
per gallon basis. Cities and towns receive a percentage of the highway users revenues based on
two factors: population estimates, and gasoline sales within each county. These funds are
restricted solely for street and highway purposes. This is the primary source of revenue used to
maintain the Town's transportation system.
HURF revenues (intergovernmental) met budgeted expectations for fiscal year 2017 at
$3,105,489 or roughly 100%. Estimated year end expenditures for contracted services and
operating supplies slightly exceeded budgeted expenditures while capital outlay is estimated to

be far below budgeted expenditures. This can be attributed to major capital projects being
carried forward into the next fiscal year. Expenditures exceeded revenues by an anticipated
amount of $502,017. However this is below the budgeted levels and will be made up from

To: Mayor and Council
Submitted For: Keith Brann, Town Engineer
From: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
Date: October 3, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: Resolution No. 2017-093: Relating to Public Works; approving and authorizing
the Mayor to execute Amendment Number 1 to the Intergovernmental
Agreement between the Regional Transportation Authority of Pima County and
the Town of Marana for Construction of Improvements to Tangerine
Road Dove Mountain Boulevard/Twin Peaks Road to La Canada Drive (Keith
Brann)
Discussion:
Council approved the RTA Tangerine Corridor construction IGA in September 2015, and in
September 2016 approved an amendment to add wildlife linkages funding. "Amendment Number
1" to the IGA is now proposed to provide an additional $2.89 million in RTA funding as a first
step in filling an anticipated loss or delay in $6.5 million of Pima County development impact
fee funding.
Financial Impact:
This amendment reflects a change in internal RTA cash flow, and should not ultimately increase
or reduce the total funding provided by the RTA to the Town of Marana for the Tangerine
Corridor Project.
Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2017-093, approving and authorizing the
Mayor to execute Amendment Number 1 to the RTA Tangerine Corridor construction IGA.
Suggested Motion:

DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/POSSIBLE ACTION
Mayor Honea announced that items DI and D2 would be read into the record concurrently as
both items relate to the creation and operations of community facilities districts. Mayor Honea
indicated that DI is more of an overview of the parameters and guidelines defined by the State,
while item D2 is related the possible creation of a community facility district for the Villages of
Tortolita project. Although the presentation would start with item D1, discussion of item D2
could occur when there was significant overlap in subject matter.

DI Relating to Development; presentation regarding changes to the community facilities
district policy required by SB 1480 revisions; community facilities districts and consideration of
other option changes.
D2 Relating to Development; overview of staff negotiations regarding the Villages of
Tortolita project, including a draft development agreement to address needed transportation
infrastructure and a possible community facilities district development agreement.
Town Manager Gilbert Davidson introduced the Town's outside bond counsel, Michael Cafis o,
and financial advisor, Mark Reader. He encouraged the Council to direct questions to Mr.
Cafiso and Mr. Reader regarding the creation, structure, and operations of community facility
districts (CFDs) because of their subject matter expertise. Mr. Davidson provided a brief
overview of the presentation's format indicating the staff would first focus on the Town's policy
and use of CFDs, and then focus on the impact of the new CFD legislation on the development
of future CFDs.
Finance Director Erik Montague started the presentation by reviewing what a CFD is and how
it is used. CFDs are special purpose taxing districts that levy a tax on properties within the
district to fund public infrastructure projects roads, parks, water/wastewater improvements, etc.
Only property owners within the district are responsible for the debt incurred to build the public
infrastructure. The 1988 Arizona. Community Facility District Act authorizes the creation of a
CFD. Mr. Montague described several reasons why creating a CFD could be beneficial to the
Town. He explained that CFDs could facilitate development in an area that might not otherwise
occur, advance the tuning of development in an area, and provide specific improvements such as
infrastructure or enhanced services. Mr. Montague emphasized that CFDs can help to favorably
position the Town, from a competitive standpoint, to attract future development opportunities.
Because CFDs provide financing structures for infrastructure development they provide project
value back to the developer by creating access to areas that might not otherwise have been
availab le.
Mr. Montague provided the Council an overlay map with the locations of the Town's current
CFDs and possible CFDs for proposed projects. Mr. Montague noted the Town's earliest CFDs,
Red Hawk Phase I, Red Hawk Phase II, and Dove Mountain Resort, were created in the mid-
1990s and early 2000s. He explained that the Dove Mountain area CFDs were created as separate
independent boards. Mr. Montague acknowledged the Town's more recent CFDs at Gladden
Farms I, Gladden Farms II, Vanderbilt, and Saguaro Springs developments use the Town
Council as the CFD board instead of appointing a separate board.
Mr. Montague further explained that the Town's CFD policy, adopted in 1997 and amended in
2004, guides the current creation of CFDs. The policy specifically articulates criteria the Town
will follow when considering the formation of a CFD. The policy ensures proposed projects are
well planned and the developer has financial capacity to meet the debt obligation. The policy
helps ensure that there are reasonable measures to protect homeowners and businesses within the
CFD, such as e stab lishing a target tax rate.
Mr. Montague explained the difference between the three main types of bonds acceptable in the
current policy. Although there are three types of bonds available for use, general obligation and
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 2
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 40 of 116
special assessment bonds are the primary instruments used. General obligation bonds are backed
by a secondary property tax that is levied against all properties within the district. Special
assessment bonds are levied against an individual property as a flat amount based on lot size,
frontage, or use. The law and Town policy allow for revenue bonds; however, that bond type is
dependent upon having a pledged revenue source. Mr. Cafis o indicated that utility and
entertainment districts more commonly use the revenue bond option because they generate
revenue through some type of service delivery.
Mr. Montague noted that the bond election limits the amount of bonds issued and sets a
maximum number. He explained that the $2.50 tax rate e stab lishe d by the Town is a target rate,
but there is still a financial obligation to levy a rate that will meet the debt service in a given
year. The development agreement outlines protections for homeowners such as standby
contributions by the developer to ensure that the debt service is met. He noted that during any
year where generated tax revenue does not meet the debt service obligation, the developer is
required to pay the shortfall and make the district whole. To visually represent the need for
sound policy regarding repayment requirements, Mr. Montague presented a chart comparing the
minimum rate that would have been required for Gladden Farms CFD for repayment of the debt
versus the actual tax rate imposed. The chart illustrated the property valuation within the district
from 2006 to 2017 highlighting the revenue shortfall generated by the tax rate, but paid for by
the developer during the height of the recession.
Mr. Montague also reported that to date the Town's Council-governed CFDs have not levied
any special assessments on individual properties. He explained that the special assessment tax
levied against the individual property could be paid one of two ways. One method of payment is
to include the tax on the yearly property tax bill or the other method of payment allows the
property owner to directly pay the full assessment to the district.
Shifting to a review of the changes required by S131480, Mr. Montague reviewed the
conforming changes the Town's policy will have to incorporate to comply with S131480. Among
those changes for inclusion are the description of the applicant and other representatives
associated with the CFD, a general plan for the infrastructure, and a preliminary financing plan
that includes sources and uses of funding. Additionally, the statute now limits the application fee
to $15,000 max as opposed to the Town's current $75,000 and $25,000 fees. Mr. Montague
noted that if the costs to the Town were less than $15,000 the developer could defer those
savings to cover future costs.
Mr. Montague indicated the new legislation's revised timeframe requires a public hearing
within 60 days of receiving a CFD application. Although the petition for formation is not a
presumption of approval, Mr. Montague observed that the accelerated timeframe would suggest
otherwise. This timeframe requirement will necessitate extensive pre-planning between staff and
the applicate to accommodate the newly imposed deadlines. If the Council rejects an application,
the Town must publically provide clear guidelines related to revision and resubmission needed to
approve the application.
Mr. Montague reviewed other changes required by S131480. First, a new enhancement
limitation states the Council cannot ask the developer to increase the infrastructure that is not
specifically necessary for the development. The statute also prohibits the increase in sizing, the
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 3
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 41 of 116
amount, or timing of the bonds issued. These changes limit the Town's past practice of using
additional capacity to fund infrastructure projects that have a regional benefit beyond the district.
With the enhancement limitation, the infrastructure development and financing will be limited to
that particular development only.
The second change Mr. Montague reviewed was the creation of a website and searchable
database for CFD related information. The transparency requirement states the CFD will provide
a digital application that allows the public to search for contracts, public notices, meeting
minutes, resolutions, and other documents accounting for the money received and disbursed by
the district.
Finally, Mr. Montague explained that the statute changes would impact the Town's procedural
process regarding the acceptance of infrastructure. He described that the statute has an aggressive
timeframe for acceptance of completed infrastructure. Once a section of infrastructure is
complete, the Town will be required to accept ownership and maintenance within 30 days of
receipt of the final engineer's certificate.
Mr. Cassidy then reviewed the CFD requirements that remain unchanged. First, the CFD board
will continue to have typical governing body power such as setting and approving the CFD's
budget, approving the timing and amounts of bonds issued, and setting tax rates. The set tax rates
will continue to fund the operations and maintenance of the infrastructure, as well as provide for
the necessary debt service. Additionally, the CFD board members are still considered public
officers governed by the same conflict of interest rules and open meeting law requirements as
other public bodies.
Mr. Cassidy explained that the new legislation has changed the composition of the Council CFD
board. The CFD statutes have always allowed and continue to allow the Council to establish a
five-member separate board to govern the CFD. But prior to passage of S131480, the Council was
able to create a CFD with the Council sitting as the district board. Now, if the Council opts to sit
as the CFD board, the new legislation requires that the governing body include two additional
members nominated by the largest landowner in the district—a CFD board of nine members
total. Under the legislation, the two additional board members may not be landowners of more
than 40 acres in the district and must not be directly associated with the developer or the Town.
However, Mr. Cassidy explained that the largest landowner in the district does have the ability to
nominate the two additional CFD board members. SB 1480 also requires the CFD application to
clearly define the method of selection for the additional board members once the development is
complete.
Mr. Davidson focused Council's attention on providing direction to staff regarding the CFD
board structure and also on the necessary policy changes related to financing options. He asked
the Council to consider the board composition between the options created by SB 1480 and a
third hybrid option identified by staff–a separate board coupled with a strong development
agreement that limits certain powers of the governing body. If the Council were to choose the
hybrid, the development agreement could include requirements that the CFD appoint its own
manager, clerk, and treasurer. The development agreement could also require that the CFD or the
developer pay for all costs associated with the CFD and could establish maximum tax rates. This
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 4
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 42 of 116
third hybrid option could allow the Council to choose future board members who reside in within
the CFD.
Council Member B owe n asked if the Legislature intended for the creation of this hybrid third
option and if the Council were to choose this option would it clear any legal hurdles. Before
answering Council Member Bowen, Mr. Cassidy noted that the legislation has a conforming
error regarding the establishment of the board with reference to the council plus two option.
Turning to Council Member Bowen's question, Mr. Cassidy explained that although the statute
does not specifically mention the creation of a separate CFD board plus development agreement,
just from historic analysis creation of a CFD has occurred concurrently with the adoption of the
development agreement. Mr. Cassidy further explained that this hybrid option allows clearly
articulated elements in the agreement. For example, it could ensure that none of the CFD's
operating costs are transferred to the Town, and could require that tax rates be maintained at
certain levels. He emphasized that this option allows the Council some flexibility to determine
the five member board representation. Although the statute does not expressly address the
adoption of the hybrid option, Mr. Cassidy said he does not see any legal reason to prevent the
adoption of the hybrid board option.
Mr. Cafis o indicated that the conforming issue within the statute, identified by Mr. Cassidy,
would be problematic for future board operations if not addressed by the Legislature. He noted
that several municipal and county entities that are considering the creation of a separate CFD
board with a strong development agreement.
Shifting the Council's focus to the taxing options, Mr. Montague asked for specific direction
regarding the policy changes related to the types of debt issued. To help frame the discussion,
Mr. Montague presented a hypothetical chart breaking down the impact of a general obligation
bond on the assessed value of a hypothetical representative $250,000 home in the district. To
calculate the impact of the target tax rate on a general obligation bond, Town staff assumed that
the full cash value (FCV) of the property would be 80% percent of its actual value, or $200,000.
Then the limited assessed value (LAV) is calculated based on the class of home. For residential
(class 03), it's 10% of the FCV, so a $200,000 full cash value has a limited assessed value of
$20,000. For simplicity, we talk about tax rates per $100. A home with a limited assessed value
of $20,000 will have 200 increments of $l 0O.Multiplying 200 by the $2.80 tax rate ($2.50 target
tax rate + $0.30 for district operations and maintenance) yields a total yearly secondary tax bill-
of
illof $560 to repay the CFD general obligation bond. Mr. Montague explained that the annual
secondary tax obligation continues until the CFD's general obligation bonds are retired.
Mr. Montague noted that as you increase the target tax rate slightly, the property owner's yearly
obligation would increase correspondingly. For a point of comparison, Mr. Montague stated that
a set target tax rate of $4.55 per $100 of assessed value would equate to the property owner of
the hypothetical $250,000 home paying $910 yearly into the district until the debt is retired. He
explained that there should be a reasonable exchange between the enhancement of the district
and the services provided to residents.
Mr. Montague continued with his hypothetical by reviewing the financial impact on property
owners when layering both a general obligation bond and a special assessment bond across the
district. With the application of a special assessment, the district sets a defined amount and over
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 5
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 43 of 116
a limited timeframe, such as a 20 year period, with a fixed rate. Mr. Montague explained that the
property owner would pay the assessed tax related to the general obligation bond at a fixed
yearly payment allocated specifically to the special assessment bond. For example, with a
secondary tax rate of $2.80 to fund general obligation bonds and O&M plus a special assessment
of $4,500, the property owner of the hypothetical $250,000 home will pay the general obligation
bond rate of $560 plus the fixed assessment rate of $225 making a total tax payment to the
district of $785 yearly. With these general obligation and special assessment bonds levied at the
same tame, the property owner would pay an effective tax rate of $3.93 per $100 of assessed
value.
Council Member B owe n asked why the Town would have both a general obligation bond and a
special assessment bond levied at the same time rather than just choose one bond type over the
other. Mr. Montague explained that based on the timing of the necessary public improvements
that have to happen and where there are significant outlays of funds it is advantageous to the
Town because the developer is responsible for the shortfall in tax revenue needed to cover the
general obligation debt. He noted that the developer's ability to recoup costs associated with the
public infrastructure is dependent on the market's growth curve. Mr. Montague explained that
for some developers investing large amounts in the construction of infrastructure, the special
assessment provides a quicker rate of return with the ability to recoup the costs of construction of
the infrastructure asset.
Expanding on the rationale for using a special assessment bond, Mr. Reader explained the
difference is between future value dollars or present value dollars. With regards to general
obligation bonds, the developer will put the infrastructure in the ground and as homes are built
and the budget structure increases to help the developer recoup costs.
Vice Mayor Post asked if a special assessment includes the future value of the property and does
developer pay the debt service obligation until the property is sold. Mr. Reader responded that
with a special assessment bond, those are present value bonds based on the assessed value of the
property at the time of the assessment. He noted that at the time of the bond sale, that the special
assessment obligation is set regardless of whether or not the land is vacant or developed within a
district that is 6,000 plus acres. Once a special assessment is allocated to the property, it remains
with the property until the property owner has paid it off completely.
Vice Mayor Post clarified that a special assessment bond value for the property is relatively low
versus the assessed value of the property associated with a general obligation bond. Mr. Reader
confirmed that interpretation. As a follow-up, Vice Mayor Post asked how the role of impact fees
plays within the decision to use debt instruments for infrastructure development within the CFD.
Mr. Cafis o responded that the Council cannot "double dip" with regard to fees. He elaborated
that jurisdictions that impose a regional impact fee, those impact fee dollars within the CFD
district are lower if the district is substantially responsible for the construction of infrastructure
that has a regional impact.
Vice Mayor Post observed that with the credit of the impact fees towards the infrastructure to
the CFD, it creates an un-level planning field between developers selling property at fair market
value. Although Vice Mayor Post acknowledged the need for a method to recoup the costs of
infrastructure, he does support the CFD model. Mr. Cafis o acknowledged that there is difference
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 6
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 44 of 116
between the sale of homes within and outside a CFD development. He noted that to justify that
difference in price, the CFD agreement is designed to provide additional amenities within the
district to mitigate the cost of the bonds, such as wider streets or parks.
Vice Mayor Post asked how the Town handles a development that constructs public
infrastructure with a greater regional benefit in and outside the district. Mr. Cafis o responded
that there is no specific way to account for oversize infrastructure in regards to the financing
obligation because the development agreement is tailored to the development and relies on
general obligation bonds. Council Member Comerford said in this instance (referencing the
proposed Villages of Tortolita project) with the construction of an interchange where a lot of
people benefit from it, not just the developer, what is the Town to do. Mr. Reader replied that
those individuals could be included in the district because they benefit from the public
infrastruc ture.
Mr. Cafis o also offered an option of creating an intergovernmental agreement that defines cost
sharing of the construction of the infrastructure project by the areas and/or entities that are
benefiting from the public infrastructure. Vice Mayor Post asked if the Town could be that
designated entity. Mr. Cassidy responded that the draft development agreement for the Villages
of Tortolita includes a provision that allows a portion of the costs of construction to be eligible
for reimbursement from the Town's impact fee structure. He noted that the developer would
build the interchange and the Town would refund a portion of the impact fee that is attributable
to the interchange to the developer for the costs of construction. Mr. Cassidy noted that those
properties within the Villages of Tortolita district would have their CFD tax apply to their
portion of the interchange and the property areas outside of the district would be charged the full
impact fee for the interchange. Mr. Cassidy explained to the Council that the draft agreement is
designed to ensure a distribution regarding the cost of construction of the interchange.
Vice Mayor Post followed up by asking if the developer is also responsible for the costs of
constructing the sewer line and are those costs recouped through the CFD or impact fees. Mr.
Cassidy stated that the construction of a sewer line is not covered in the current draft as it only
covers transportation. Mr. Cassidy anticipates that in the sewer service agreement the Town
would provide for reimbursement to the developer. He expects that the developer would want to
pay for the sewer infrastructure with CFD money and then delineate some type of mechanism to
reimburse the developer for third-party hookups to the line. Alternatively, the sewer conveyance
infrastructure could be incorporated as a new project into the Town's wastewater infrastructure
improvement plan and paid for through third-party impact fees.
Vice Mayor Post commented that there are two separate issues, one the main sewer line and
two, capacity on the plant. Mr. Cassidy responded that the developer would still have to pay for
capacity on the plant to the extent that they don't provide it. Vice Mayor Post asked if there are
impact fee credits available for the plant. Mr. Cassidy clarified the developer is only eligible for
impact fee reimbursement if they build the plant and can provide the capacity to the plant.
Mayor Hone a observed that the Town did something similar to what Mr. Cassidy described
with the Gladden Farms development. He reminded the Council that once other developments
started hooking into the main line those impact fees were applied towards the construction debt.
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 7
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 45 of 116
Transitioning back to the board composition, Vice Mayor Post acknowledged that he would
prefer not to be the CFD board for the Villages of Tortolita. He stated that the developer will
want to recoup the costs for construction and the board will max out the approved tax rate to help
facilitate a faster return. Mayor Hone a disagreed stating that the Council should sit as the board
because when a CFD is established you are giving an entity the right to tax citizens. He stated
that an appointed board is not elected by citizens and therefore lacks any culpability regarding
the tax rate. Mayor Honea further stated that another board would add unnecessary bureaucracy
to the process and waste tax payer money. He noted that by keeping the CFD with the Council,
then the Town's administrative officers are responsible to ensure compliance with necessary
funding structures and other applicable laws.
Vice Mayor Post asked what would happen if a CFD wanted to issue more debt after having met
all the requirements agreed to. He wanted to know if the district could sue the Town for refusing
to issue additional debt. Mr. Cafiso stated that there is no legal precedent a private developer has
to force a political subdivision to incur debt. Vice Mayor Post countered that if the developer has
met all the requirements and asked for reimbursement, how could the Town refuse to pay? Mr.
Cafiso explained that development agreement provides clearly defined circumstances in which
the CFD board agrees to issue debt based on the statute's requirements and the developer's
commitment to create better developments. Mr. Cafiso stressed that the relationship between the
municipality and the developer can only create a strong development that is cooperative between
both groups.
Council Ziegler pointed out that residents will still come to the Town for issues related to the
CFD and the Council will have to handle whatever the issue is regardless of responsibility citing,
as an example the issues with The Pines development. Mr. Cafiso responded that regardless of
board composition, the Council must form the district first. He cautioned that as the party
responsible for the formation of the district, the Town is ultimately responsible for any issues
that occur within the district and can be sued by the property owners in a lawsuit.
Council Member B owe n asked how many restrictions regarding the scope of the CFD the Town
could impose. Mr. Cafiso replied that it is dependent on the negotiations between the Town and
the developer regarding the content and scope of the final CFD development agreement. He
noted that the development agreement runs with the land and should benefit the property. Mr.
Cafiso also commented that even though there are no guarantees regarding rates, if the Council
maintained control of the CFD it would be in a better position to control for issues related to the
bond funding should any occur.
Vice Mayor Post returned to the discussion of bonds and asked if the developer can use the
special assessment bond money for immediate infrastructure improvements. Mr. Cassidy
responded that the Red Hawk Phase I sold about $18 million dollars' worth of special assessment
bonds to pay for the construction of the sewer lines and Dove Mountain Boulevard. Vice Mayor
Post clarified that the special assessment bonds are a tool that can be used for immediate
construction of infrastructure. Mr. Cafiso added that the benefit of general obligation bonds is
that they can be used over and over again on a property, whereas special assessment bonds are a
one-time shot based on the debt to value ratio determined at the time of the original financing
and cannot increase. Mr. Reader also noted that homeowners need to feel good about their
taxes. The general obligation bonds are based on two things, the value of the home within that

Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 46 of 116
development and the property tax rate. He explained that at the end of the day, property owners
need to feel good about the infrastructure their tax dollars support. Mr. Reader explained that
special assessment allocation cost applied to the property does not change even if the assessed
value of the property increases over time.
Council Member lie gle r asked for clarification regarding what the property owner gets in
return from paying the special assessment allocation. Mr. Reader remarked that the special
assessment allocated to each property pays for the infrastructure associated with the bond. Mr.
Cafiso further clarified that with a general obligation bond, the property tax levied is based on
the property value and also on the payment history of other property owners within the district. If
a property owner does not pay the tax, then the other property owners' tax within the district will
have their tax assessment increased to cover the shortfall. Conversely, a special assessment tax
applied to the property is a fixed amount and independent of the payment history of other
property owners or changes in assessed value of the property. Mr. Cafiso acknowledged that the
assessed value of the property for a special assessment is based proportionally on the property's
expected use of the infrastructure, e.g. larger lot size equals higher assessment value. Mr. Cafiso
reported that the benefit of a special assessment to individual property owners is that it can be
paid in full at any time unlike a general obligation bond that will continue to appear as a
secondary property tax until the debt is retired.
Vice Mayor Post observed that both general obligation bonds and special assessment bonds are
useful tools to pay for the construction of large public infrastructure projects. Mr. Cafiso stated
that he and Mr. Reader try to create an agreement that balances between the developer and the
Town while also protecting the interests of the property owner. Vice Mayor Post expressed
support for the use of special assessment bonds for large infrastructure projects. Mr. Cafiso
reiterated the need to have a funding source upfront for construction and the special assessment
bonds may not have enough value to cover the costs of construction; however, with a general
obligation bond the value of the assessment grows making it a better mechanism to recoup the
costs of construction over time. The special assessment bond is based on present-day dollars as
opposed to general obligation bonds which is based on future day dollars. Mr. Reader indicated
that it is a collaborative public/private partnership that will come together to create a financing
plan that makes sense for both the Town and the developer.
Mr. Davidson directed the Council's attention to the final slide of the presentation to consider
the direction regarding policy changes given the information presented during this meeting. Mr.
Montague explained that the current policy has a seven year timeframe for general obligation
bonds with a current target tax rate of $2.50. He noted for assessment bonds, the Town currently
does not have a cap other than the value of the lien. Mr. Montague stated that the Town has made
a policy decision reflected in the current CFD policy not to pass the assessment bond obligation
on to the ultimate homeowner. Also under current policy, the value to lien ratio is 6:1 public and
4:1 private placement with the land as is at the time of assessment and excluding the value of the
improvements.
Mr. Montague stated that there could be an argument to increase the maximum secondary tax
rate to fund general obligation bonds, referencing other jurisdictions within the state. Another
policy change could include some flexibility in length of time authorization depending on project
size or some combination of term and percentage of development within the CFD. Another
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 9
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 47 of 116
possible change could include adjusting the target tax rate by a reasonable increase as compared
to other communities.
Moving on to special assessment bonds, Mr. Montague stated that some policies define a cap of
the total effective tax rate per lot. He also identified the possibility of making adjustments to the
value to lien calculation and adjusting the value to the lien ratio to include the value of
improvements within the assessment.
Vice Mayor Post asked if the special assessment bond could be retired at the purchase of a
home. Mr. Cafis o responded that some communities require it and noted that these liens are
superior to all other debts by statute, so lenders sometimes require full payment at the property's
purchase. Mr. Reader added that some master planned communities have provisions
incorporated in the bond documents to allow the special assessment to be paid off quickly.
Council Member Comerford asked how flexible the Town can be with setting the tax rate
when developments have a disproportionate burden of infrastructure, i.e. one development is the
$2.50 rate while another is at the $3.00 rate. Mr. Montague said that from a policy perspective
the Town could define a target tax rate that does not exceed a particular rate. Mr. Reader
confirmed that the Town could differentiate the target tax rate between CFDs, but the tax rate is
partly driven by the developer. Mr. Cassidy stated that to have a policy and consistently apply it
helps to level the playing field and avoid the appearance of subjectivity on the Town's part.
Vice Mayor Post asked that if the Town changes its target tax rate, will it retroactively apply to
the current CFDs. Mr. Cassidy responded in the negative and stated the development
agreements have language defining the tax rate. Vice Mayor Post asked that if the Town uses
two different funding mechanisms are the property owners charged different rates. Mr. Cassidy
replied that special assessment tax is a flat amount to the property owner and does not increase as
the property's assessment value increases.
Mayor Hone a stated the issue with levying both a general obligation bond and a special
assessment bond at the same time stacks the taxes on the property owner. Vice Mayor Post
responded that by using both bond options could help meet the needs of the project. Mr.
Davidson asked if the Council would lie to craft a policy that meets those needs, but also
minimises the subjectivity component mentioned by Mr. Cassidy. He noted that the Town is
aware of each project's unique needs, but wants to make sure the Town stays within certain
ranges.
Vice Mayor Post conceded that perhaps the target tax rate should be adjusted to better account
for the current cost of development as the Town has applied the $2.50 target tax rate since 2004.
Mr. Reader reminded the Council that general obligation bond monies are for enhanced regional
public infrastructure that benefit the community and may lend itself to a higher tax rate. Vice
Mayor Post observed the dollar amount required to construct an interchange is so high that it
takes away funds from other public amenities and improvements and requires some adjustment
to ensure the community has funds to invest a diverse array of public projects. Both Mr. Reader
and Mr. Cafiso affirmed that there are many jurisdictions that use differentiated tax rates for
development.

Mr. Davidson suggested that to help manage all the variables that staff comes back with a
recommendation that modernizes the numbers and takes into account some the projects coming
forward. Council Member Comerford clarified that staff is asking for Council direction
regarding one, the composition of CFD boards and two, creating a policy regarding the numbers.
She indicated that she is ready to provide direction on the board and wants staff to present
additional information for policy on the numbers.
Vice Mayor Post agreed that he is ready to give direction on the board composition, but really
needs more real world examples to determine and justify a policy related to the target tax rate.
Specifically, he wants a better idea of the financial impact of the Villages of Tortolita project.
Council Member Comerford agreed that financial obligations are complicated and need
additional attention before making a decision without first knowing the estimated cost of
development.
Mayor Hone a remarked that there will be other CFDs beside the Villages of Tortolita and the
Town needs to set a general CFD policy with the ability to modify if needed. Vice Mayor Post
asked that a policy include some forethought when it comes to the large infrastructure projects.
Council Member B owe n stated the revised policy needs to articulate how the Town sets its
numbers, e.g. what is the basis used for the tax rate. He did express support for an assessment
bond that uses a formula that calculates either an `x" amount per lot or a percentage of value
because it will allow money to come to start construction. Council Member Bowen also
supported the idea of incorporating a max target tax rate into the policy to provide flexibility. He
did express the desire to have more information regarding the rationale for adopting a particular
timeframe for the general obligation bonds. Council Member Bowen also supported the idea of
allowing the homeowner the option of paying off the special assessment in one transaction.
Finally, he concurred there needs some reasonable basis for the adoption of particular numbers
before he is comfortable adopting a policy. Council Member Bowen suggested staff provide
more detail regarding the Villages of Tortolita project to help frame the possible policy changes
and adoption.
Council Member Comerford moved to direct staff to create a final policy, regarding the
creation of a CFD board comprising the Council plus two appointments as defined by state
statute,for consideration and approval at a future council meeting. Vice Mayor Post provided
the second motion. Passed 6-0.
Mr. Cassidy asked the Council if they had any specific questions regarding the information
submitted in the staff report for item D3. The Council did not have any specific questions
regarding the staff report.
D3 Relating to Strategic Planning; discussion, consideration, and direction regarding the
revised Marana Strategic Plan.
Mr. Davidson started his presentation with a brief review of the Town's history of strategic
plans. He noted that the plan's first adoption occurred in 2008 and the Town has revised it
roughly every two years. Mr. Davidson presented a visual animation of the Strategic Plan IV's
proposed on-line appearance and provided the Council a draft copy of the revised plan. He noted
September 12,2017 Study Session Minutes 11
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 49 of 116
that the draft includes many items identified during the Strategic Plan study sessions conducted
early this year and also incorporated citizen feedback from an on-line survey.
Mr. Davidson asked the Council to review the draft document and provide feedback in the
weeks to come. He reported that the five focus areas remained the same, but the principle
statements were revised to reflect current process. The revision also includes several on-going
initiatives rolled over from Strategic Plan III. Mr. Davidson stated overall that it is good strategic
plan and it will keep moving Marana. forward. The Council will consider the final document at
an October council meeting.

infrastructure improvement plan, the 2017 water infrastructure improvement plan, and the 2017
sewer infrastructure improvement plan supporting development impact fees for streets, parks,
water, and sewer (Keith Brann, John Kmiec). Keith Brann, Town Engineer, started the
presentation by noting that this is the Council's third hearing of this item with previous
presentations at a study session and a public hearing. Since that time, the Town has received
various comments, most notably from the Southern Arizona. Home Builders Association
(SAHBA) relating to the streets and parks fees.
Mr. Brann indicated that SAHBA's primary questions related to why the Town used the 2.7 per
capita EDU figure for population growth rather than the 2.45 figure. He explained to the Council
that the 2.7 figure is based off of the 2010 U.S. Census. Mr. Brann reported another question
raised by SAHBA related to the level of service on the streets fee. He clarified that the
stipulation to maintain a "D" level of service or better is meant to keep those roads at a level of
service consistent with projected growth.
SAHBA asked about how the offsets for the construction sales tax were divided between the
streets fee and parks fee. Mr. Brann stated that Town used approximately $525 last time and
will use a figure very close to that this time. Also, he explained that some subdivisions don't pay
a parks fee and some subdivisions don't pay a road fee. The rational for this difference is to
ensure the Town tailors the parks and streets fee in a balanced way.
Finally, Mr. Brann told the Council that SAHBA also questioned the Town's method of
calculating the construction sales tax credit as applied to streets and parks. SAHBA calculated an
overall 94 percent construction sales tax generated from single family residences and therefore
should be applied to residential developments completely. However, Mr. Brann stated in staffs
opinion that method of calculation fails to account for impact of EDU level and relies only on a
si nple one residence calculation. He further explained that the sales tax construction tax
accounts for estimated revenue generated by an individual unit. Mr. Brann noted that the Town
uses different construction tax credits for homes, apartment complexes, and commercial
buildings which are based on the International Code Council (ICC) cost per square foot, a value
updated twice a year. He stated this is the same calculation method used by the Building
department to determine the permit cost of residence. Mr. Brann reported the Town responded to
SAHBA's concerns but as they were not material questions there were no changes made to the
parks and streets IIP at this time.
John Kmiec, Water Director, transitioned to a review of SAHBA's two main concerns regarding
the wet utility. The first concern was related to the EDU counts used for water and sewer. Mr.
Kmiec reported there was some confusion from SAHBA as to why the Water Department's
numbers didn't equal the Town's projected 10-year growth. He reminded SAHBA that Marana.
Water is only one of several water utilities within the Town, therefore the department's numbers
will only equal a proportional percentage of projected growth not a total percentage of growth.
The other item of concern from SAHBA related to the water resources and sewer nprovement
plan for the Town's current facility. Mr. Kmiec clarified what fees current customers are charged
in regards to the funds allocation for the plant's expansion. He read the upgrade language from
Section 8.2 in the sewer impact fee and noted that the water resources portion is similar in the
water resources fee language. Mr. Kmiec reported there is a $3.2M contribution from current
customers to lower the debt servicing for the plant's expansion.
September 19,2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 3
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 53 of 116
Vice Mayor Post asked why we charge a construction sales tax credit and then give credit for it.
Mr. Brann responded that the state law for impact fees requires that if you collect revenues that
are used for capital construction similar to what is in the improvement plan, you have to give a
credit for those similar uses so that you are not double charging. The state requires that you give
a portion of that credit above and beyond your retail sales tax. So there is a 4 percent
construction sales tax and currently a (temporary) 2 1/2 percent sales tax, and for the life of the
impact fee program of 10 years, we are going to revert back to 2 percent sales tax. We have other
revenues that are generated by growth that come into question from time to time such as HURF
revenue, but HURF revenue is used only for maintenance, not for capital construction.
Construction sales tax is used for capital projects, either for improvements or for equipment.
Mr. Brann closed with a brief review of the schedule. Staff is gearing up to publish the draft
fees and the fee reports this week or next, and we are looking to come back to Council in either
late October or early November for the first public hearing of that round of the impact fee
approval process.
Motion to approve by Council Member Comerford, second by Council Member Bowen.

A2 Resolution No. 2017-091: Relating to Administration; approving the transfer of up to
$20,000 in budgeted expenditure authority from the General Fund contingency line item in the
fiscal year 2017-2018 budget to the General Fund outside agencies account to assist in funding
the Regional Municipalities Veterans Treatment Court (Gilbert Davidson). Town Manager
Gilbert Davidson noted that in 2012-2013 the Town entered into an agreement to p artic ip ate in
the Veterans Treatment Court which provides specialized treatment and services for veterans
charged with misdemeanor offenses. At the time, there were no costs associated with the
participation because the City of Tucson secured an outside grant for the specialty court's
creation and operations. However, the funding situation has changed and the City of Tucson is
asking participating jurisdictions to contribute funds for the continued operation of the court.
Mr. Davidson indicated that the original request was $75K and came to the Town just as staff
concluded the previous budget process at the end of the fiscal year. He explained that this is a
program the Town can support and the Town had indicated it would try to work with the court to
support the operations with a number that fit into budget capacity. Mr. Davidson noted that after
reviewing the historic number of cases the Town has deferred to the veterans court, there have
been 26 or 27 referrals to the specialty court since 2013. Staff also compared the Town's overall
population to the Pima. County's overall 1 million and concluded that a contribution of $20k was
an appropriate amount to contribute. Mr. Davidson said of course, the Council can increase or
decrease the suggested amount.
Council Member Kai noted what he has heard other jurisdictions are committing, and he would
like to look at the possibility of revising the amount each year depending on the benchmarks so
that our commitment equals that of Oro Valley in four years. Mayor Hone a noted that he has
talked to Mayor Rothschild on this subject many times. While the Mayor is a veteran and is
supportive of veteran services, he believes that the original $75K was disproportional to the
number of people we send to the court, and the figure presented tonight was developed to meet
the actual number. Council Member Kai agreed that $75K was too much to begin with, but
September 19,2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 4
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 54 of 116
looking to pay it over tone with the commitment to meet certain benchmarks many be more
realistic. Council Member Comerford noted that she has been actively involved with the
homeless veteran programs, and the veterans she works with won't go to that court. They don't
lie it or use it and think it's a huge waste of funds. They go to civil court instead. So it's with
her current experience with a certain population, that she believes $20K is very gracious for a
program that's not working for them. Council Member Bowen asked for clarification from
Council Member Kai that we give $20K but that we review it every year of raising it or
continuing it. Council Member Kai noted that it was to continue it. Council Member Bowen
then asked Mr. Davidson if the City of Tucson was eligible to receive grant money, would
Marana be eligible to receive grant money to fund our portion. Mr. Davidson noted that Tucson
established a whole program. The key for the grant funding was that the presiding judge that
took this on as an initiative worked with some social service agencies and support groups
throughout the Tucson area and developed some key alliances to help get veterans into different
programs. Our challenge would be that we don't have that network yet. He doesn't know where
the funding was coming from or why that changed, but that's why all the jurisdictions are being
asked. He believes at some point that if the "ask" gets too high, we could probably fund
internally programs that would help our local veterans without having to contribute to another
entity.
Council Member Kai moved to set up a fund for $20,000 for the Veterans Treatment Court
and ask staff to bring it to Council for the next three years with benchmarks so we can make a
decision on continuing the program. Second by Vice Mayor Post. Motion passed 5-1 with
Council Member Comerford voting nay.
A3 Resolution No. 2017-092: Relating to Municipal Court; reappointing Laine Sklar as
Marana. Town Magistrate for a two-year term beginning October 1, 2017; approving and
authorizing the Mayor to execute an employment agreement between the Town of Marana. and
Laine Sklar (Gilbert Davidson). Mr. Davidson noted that unless any council member has
specific questions related to the renewal of Judge Sklar's contract, he is recommending approval.
The court has been operating very well, and some of the council members had a chance to meet
individually with the Judge and to get some feedback on some of the changes that have been
made. Motion to approve the resolution as presented by Council Member Comerford, second
by Council Member Bowen. Passed 6-0.

Council-Regular Meeting L1
Meeting Date: 10/03/2017
To: Mayor and Council
Submitted For: Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk
From: Suzanne Sutherland, Assistant to the Town Clerk
Date: October 3, 2017
Subject: Relating to Liquor Licenses; recommendation to the Arizona Department of
Liquor Licenses and Control regarding a new license series 12 restaurant liquor
license application submitted by Andrea Dahlman Lewkowitz on behalf of
MOD Pizza, located at 3780 W. Ina Road, Tucson, Arizona 85741 (Jocelyn C.
Bronson)
Discussion:
This application is for a series 12 restaurant liquor license at MOD Pizza, located at 3780 W. Ina
Road, Tucson, Arizona 85741.
Pursuant to state law, the application was posted at the premises where the business is to be
conducted. The posted notice provided that residents within a one mile radius from the premises
may file written arguments in favor of or opposed to the issuance of the license with the Town
Clerk's Office within 20 days of the posting. Any written arguments received by the Clerk's
Office for or against the proposed liquor license are attached to this item and will be submitted to
the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC).
Town staff has reviewed this application to determine whether the applicant is in compliance with
zoning, building and other legal requirements for the business. Additionally, the Marana Police
Department has conducted a local background check.
The Town Council must enter an order recommending approval or disapproval of the application
within 60 days after filing of the application. Pursuant to state statute, a license will only be
issued after a satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications and reliability of the applicant
and "in all proceedings before the town council, the applicant bears the burden of showing that the
public convenience requires and that the best interests of the community will be substantially
served by the issuance of a license."
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 57 of 116
If the Council's recommendation is for disapproval, the order must include an attachment stating
the specific reasons for the recommendation of disapproval and including a summary of the
testimony or other evidence supporting the recommendation.
If the Council enters an order recommending approval of the application, or makes no
recommendation, then no hearing before the Arizona state liquor board will take place, unless the
director of the DLLC, the liquor board or a resident within a one mile radius from the premises
requests a hearing. If the Council enters an order recommending disapproval of the application,
or if the director, board or a resident within a one mile radius from the premises requests a
hearing, then the state board will hold a hearing regarding the application.
At the hearing, the state board will consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to
the granting of the license. The decision of the board to either grant or deny an application will
normally take place within 105 days after the application has been filed, unless the director of the
DLLC deems it necessary to extend the time period.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that an order recommending approval be submitted to the DLLC for this liquor
license application.
Suggested Motion:
OPTION 1: I move to adopt and submit to the DLLC an order recommending approval of a
new series 12 restaurant liquor license application submitted by Andrea Dahlman Lewkowitz on
behalf MOD Pizza, located at 3780 W. Ina Road, Tucson, Arizona 85741.

ESTABLISHED 1977
Council-Regular Meeting L2
Meeting Date: 10/03/2017
To: Mayor and Council
Submitted For: Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk
From: Suzanne Sutherland, Assistant to the Town Clerk
Date: October 3, 2017
Subject: Relating to Liquor Licenses; recommendation to the Arizona Department of
Liquor Licenses and Control regarding a special event liquor license
application submitted by Virgilio UoJo" Tabo, Jr. on behalf of St. Christopher
Roman Catholic Church for Parish Fall Festival to be held on November 4,
2017 (Jocelyn C. Bronson)
Discussion:
This application is for a special event liquor license on behalf of St. Christopher Roman Catholic
Church for Parish Fall Festival to be held on November 4, 2017. The applicant has also applied
for a special event permit from the town, pursuant to Chapter 10-6 of the Marana Town Code.
A special event liquor license is a temporary, non-transferable, on-sale retail privileges liquor
license that allows a non-profit or political organization to sell and serve spirituous liquor for
consumption only on the premises where the spirituous liquor is sold and only for the period
authorized on the license. Qualifying organizations will be granted a special event license for no
more than ten (10) days in a calendar year. Events must be held on consecutive days and at the
same location or additional licenses will be required. The license is automatically terminated upon
closing of the last day of the event or the expiration of the license, whichever occurs first. The
qualified organization must receive at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross revenues of the
special events.
Pursuant to state law, a person desiring a special event liquor license must request a special event
application from the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC). The applicant then
must file the application with the town for events occurring within the town's limits. A new
applicant for an initial special event license may be required to demonstrate that it is qualified,
capable, and reliable to conduct a special event. The town may then recommend approval or
disapproval of the special event liquor license.
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 70 of 116
If the special event liquor license application is approved by the Town Council, and the event
meets the requirements for granting the license, the director of the DLLC will issue a special
event liquor license to the qualifying organization. If the application is disapproved by the Town
Council, the DLLC will normally not consider the application.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this special event liquor license application.
Suggested Motion:
OPTION 1: I move to submit to the DLLC a recommendation of approval of the special event
liquor license application submitted by Virgilio "JoJo" Tabo, Jr. on behalf of St. Christopher
Catholic Church for Parish Fall Festival.
OPTION 2: I move to disapprove the special event liquor license application submitted by
Virgilio "JoJo" Tabo, Jr. on behalf of St. Christopher Catholic Church for Parish Fall Festival.

Council-Regular Meeting At
Meeting Date: 10/03/2017
To: Mayor and Council
From: Steven Vasquez, Senior Planner
Date: October 3, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2017.018: Relating to Development; amending
Marana Land Development Code Title 5 (Zoning), Section 5.12.03 (HI Heavy Industry)
to establish a minimum site size and eliminate the minimum parcel size, parcel width,
and parcel depth; and designating an effective date (Steven Vasquez)
Discussion:
Within the past year, staff has brought before the Town Council various minor amendments to the
Land Development Code. These amendments were initiated in response to the development
community's input of wanting more flexibility in development standards of zoning districts in
order to deal with today's economic conditions.
Staff will move forward with implementing amendments to zoning districts as the situation arises
and as the comprehensive process of updating the entire Land Development Code continues;
therefore, staff brings before the Council a recommendation to revise the "Site Intensity
Standards" and "Site Development Standards" of the HI (Heavy Industry) zone. A
minimum "site" size is established as one acre and a minimum "parcel" size including width and
depth is eliminated.
Many areas in Town with HI zoning have been developed into commercial retail centers. Current
standards would make subdividing these area difficult or impossible; limiting their marketability.
These amendments along with the remaining standards would support the flexibility requested by
the development community and facilitate orderly development by the Town within this zoning
district.
Staff Recommendation:
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 78 of 116
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2017.018, amending the Marana Land
Development Code Title 5 (Zoning), Section S.12.03 (HI Heavy Industry) to establish a minimum

Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2017.018, approving amendments to Title 5 (Zoning) of the
Marana Land Development Code; and designating an effective date.

Subject: PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2017.019: Relating to Development; amending
Marana Land Development Code Title 16 (Signs), Section 16-08-01 (Signs Exempted
from This Title) to revise the regulations pertaining to flags and flagpoles by
eliminating flag content restrictions and increasing permissible flagpole heights under
most circumstances (Steven Vasquez)
Discussion:
Over the years, staff has brought before the Town Council various amendments to Title 16
(Signs) of the Land Development code. These amendments to the sign code have been in
response to input from the business community as well as changes in sign types, technology,
trends and case law.
In the Town's ongoing efforts to respond to today's business conditions, staff will move forward
with implementing amendments to the sign code as the comprehensive process of updating the
entire Land Development Code continues; therefore, staff brings before the Council a
recommendation to revise Title 16-08-01.A.4 regarding standards for flagpoles. Reference to
types of flags is removed and the maximum height of flagpoles is revised.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2017.019, amending the flag and flagpole
requirements found in Section 16-08-O1.A.4 of the Marana Land Development Code.

ESTABLISHED 1977
Council-Regular Meeting A3
Meeting Date: 10/03/2017
To: Mayor and Council
From: Erik Montague, Finance Director
Date: October 3, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Community
Subject: Resolution No. 2017-094: Relating to Administration; approving the transfer of up to
$125,000 in budgeted expense authority from the Water Operating Fund system repairs
and emergency reserve line items in the fiscal year 2017-2018 budget to the Water
Capital Fund capital construction line item for expenses related to the replacement of
water lines within the Marana Estates area (Erik Montague)
Discussion:
Marana Estates was built in 1950-1951. The small neighborhood consists of two roads: Amole
Circle and West Tortolita Street. The existing water infrastructure is a mixture of random pipe
sizes and materials; limited number of valves within native soil material and only at a depth of
18"-24" below road grade.
Over the last couple of weeks, a portion of Amole Circle has catastrophically failed six times.
Due to a lack of valves throughout the neighborhood, customers were without water service for
significant portions of time during those failure events. The Water Department previously
identified the need to replace portions of the system and anticipated a phased approach over
multiple years. However, based upon the number of failures and the related impact of water
outages to residents, the Water Department recommends the replacement of the entire system in
one year.
The Water Department specifically budgeted $20,000 within the system repairs line item for the
partial replacement (phased approach) in the current 2017-2018 fiscal year. Current cost
estimates for a complete replacement are around $115,000 to $125,000. The Water Department
does have expense budget capacity within the operating fund between system repairs and
emergency reserve line items.
Therefore, since the cost of the project now exceeds the threshold for a capital project, staff is
seeking Council authorization for the transfer of up to $125,000 in budgeted expense authority
Amended Marana Regular Council Meeting 10/03/2017 Page 86 of 116
from the Water Operating Fund system repairs and emergency reserve items in the fiscal year
2017-2018 budget to the Water Capital Fund capital construction line item for expenses related to
the replacement of water lines within the Marana Estates area.
If approved, the new infrastructure will be at 2017 standards which includes a pipe depth of
42"-48", placed in engineered trench fill, not native soils, and will consist of about 1,500 feet of
6-inch PVC necessary to complete the entire neighborhood. Next year, Public Works is planning
to rehabilitate streets with rubberized coatings.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year: 2017-2018
Budgeted Y/N: N
Amount: $125,000
If approved, the transfer of up to $125,000 in Water Operating Fund expense budget to the Water
Capital Fund is not expected to have a material impact on the Water Operating Fund.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the approval of the transfer of up to $125,000 in budgeted expense authority
from the Water Operating Fund system repairs and emergency reserve items in the fiscal year
2017-2018 budget to the Water Capital Fund capital construction line item for expenses related to
the replacement of water lines within the Marana Estates area.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2017-094, approving the transfer of up to $125,000 in budgeted
expense authority from the Water Operating Fund system repairs and emergency reserve items in
the fiscal year 2017-2018 budget to the Water Capital Fund capital construction line item

Date: October 3, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: Resolution No. 2017-095: Relating to Strategic Planning; approving and
authorizing implementation of Marana Strategic Plan Four (Gilbert Davidson)
Discussion:
The Marana Town Council adopted the first Strategic Plan in 2008, and this revised version will
be the fourth iteration of the plan. Town Department Heads along with the Town Manager's
office facilitated discussions with the Town Council on each Focus Area of the plan: Commerce,
Community, Innovation, Heritage, and Recreation. From these discussions were derived
recommendations on both new initiatives and revisions to the Strategic Plan III. Over the next
several months, staff worked through these recommendations to incorporate them into a new,
comprehensive document reflecting the Town Council's vision and strategy for the Marana
community.
At the September 12 Council study session, staff sought feedback from the Council regarding the
updated Strategic Plan. If Council approves the proposed Strategic Plan Four document,
department leads will begin the process of developing action plans to achieve the individual
initiatives. Periodic reports will be provided to Council and the public concerning updates on
strategic plan progress.
Staff Recommendation:
Council's pleasure.
