APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member
McGorray, the agenda was unanimously approved.
VI. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES
Upon motion by Vice Mayor Kal, seconded by Council Member Honea, the
minutes of the April 20, 2004 Town Council meeting were unanimously approved.
VII. CALL TO THE PUBLIC/ANNOUNCEMENTS
Shelly Martinez, member of the Marana Health Center's Board of Directors,
announced the grand open/ng of a five-chair, state-of-the-art dental facility this
.Thursday, May 5, from 5 to 7 at the local health center. She invited all to attend
and said that there would be assorted festivities for the kids including a jumping
castle, a visit by Ronald McDonald, and ice cream sodas.
Chris Cawein, representing Pima County Flood Control, addressed the Council
about the status of the Santa Cruz River Levee map revisions. He said that his
agency had been in touch with Michael Baker, Jr., the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) consultant, who relayed that all of the technical
details had been resolved. He said that the details were under review at FEMA to
insure that the current machinations were correct. He said that he expected a
confirmation within the next week or two. Mr. Cawein explained that the next
step would be receiving a confirmation letter from FEMA indicating that the map
changes had been accepted. He said that the letter would contain the publication
date for the local papers for public notification of the map revisions. He remarked
that there was a 90-day mandatory waiting period which began immediately upon
publication of the revisions and that, typically there are few appeals particularly
when property owners were being removed from the flood plain. He said that the
process would move forward relatively quickly at the end of the 90-day period
and that FEMA would send out a letter to the area property owners with an
accompanying letter by Sharon Bronson, Chair of the Pima County Board of
Supervisors, stating that the properties would be removed from the flood plain.
He reported that most mortgage lenders would not require any flood insurance
for those particular properties but that it was incumbent upon the property
owners to get in touch with their lenders and move the process. He said that some
general instructions would be included in the FEMA mailing as well as a toll-free
number to call for further inquiries.
Council Member Honea commented that Chair Bronson had said that County staff
would assist individuals with the application process for flood insurance
reimbursements by helping with the paperwork and answering questions about
the procedures on how to get the insurance rebate.
Mr. Cawein confirmed the Council Member's statement and added that there
were different procedures for each insurance company's processes. He estimated
that this revision affected approximately 700 properties in the Marana area.
2
Mayor Sutton asked if the County would provide an informational sheet with the
mailings in order to limit the amount of calls from residents. The Mayor said that
information contained on the sheet could be information such as what the map
revision meant, what the property owner should do, what questions the mortgage
company might ask, and who to call if you had a mortgage bill.
Mr. Cawein said that this was a great suggestion. He said that it would be easy for
the County to put together a fact sheet to expedite the process.
Council Member Escobedo asked if Mr. Cawein would come back before Council
with an update on the progress further west along the Santa Cruz River to Berry
Acres.
Mr. DeGrood replied that this was a town-initiated project where staff was re-
mapping an area based upon the County improvements and the effects the
improvements would have downstream. He said that the project was largely
through the technical appeals process as well. He informed the Council that
additional material was sent to FEMA within the past two weeks but there would
not be any resolution on that matter until the County's letter of map revision had
been approved.
Mr. Reuwsaat commented that there was a Berry Acres Steering Committee and
that, when the notification was received and the 90-day waiting period began,
then the Town would notice the property owners.
Jane Howell addressed the Council regarding Lieutenant Dale Bradshaw's 254
Anniversary in the Town's employ. Chief Vidaurri spoke before the Council about
the many accomplishments and unselfish dedication of Lt. Bradshaw to the
Marana community through the years. He said that the Lieutenant grew up in
Wisconsin ~and moved to Arizona in 1972 where he worked for the Pima County
Sheriff's department in the Correctional Division before moving on to the Pima
County Park Rangers where he continues to serve as a reserve park ranger to this
day. The Chief related that Lt. Bradshaw was hired into the Marana Marshall's
office on April 23, 1979 and promoted to chief deputy in 1983. He said that in 1984
Lt. Bradshaw was promoted to sergeant and then to his current status of
lieutenant in 1989. Chief Vidaurri remarked that Lt. Bradshaw had supervised all
divisions within the Marana Police department including Operations & Support
Services. He said that the lieutenant was currently supervising the Technical
Services Division which included records, communications, and property. The
Chief said that Lt. Bradshaw had always been involved with the youth of the
community and, probably what he was best known for in Marana.
Chief Vidaurri said that he started a boys' group which later developed into a
program for both boys and girls and then the Explorer program currently
operating within the MPD today. He said that Lt. Bradshaw has been recognized
by the Boy Scouts of America for his outstanding dedication as well as nominated
for Man of the Year in 2004. He said that the Lieutenant was always courteous and
professional and the Marana Police Department was looking forward to his
continued dedication. The Chief presented an award to Lieutenant Bradshaw that
was from all of the members of MPD who felt it was important to recognize such
outstanding dedication.
Lieutenant Bradshaw thanked the Chief for the kind words and said that it had
been a pleasure to serve the community over the years. He commented that
Marana had a great future ahead and that he wanted to be a part of it.
Mayor Sutton, the Council Members, and all of the Town staff present at the
meeting joined in thanking Lt. Bradshaw for his service to Marana.

B. COUNCIL ACTION
1. PUBLIC HEARING - Ordinance No. 2004.08 and Resolution No. 2004-52:
Relating to Development; Declaring a Public Record; Adopting
Subdivision Street Standards Manual for the Town of Marana (Jim
DeGrood)
Mayor Sutton opened and closed the public hearing. There were no
speakers from the public regarding this item.
Mr. DeGrood gave a brief presentation on the Subdivision Street Standards
Manual. He said that work on this project had been ongoing for several
years and that the Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association (SAHBA)
Technical Subcommittee had contributed substantially to the effort as well.
He said that the manual included standard cross sections for the Town,
ones that were wide enough to pass the fire truck requirement of
Northwest Fire District and for on-street parking. He recognized the
outstanding work of Fernando Prol and the SAHBA technical committee,
chaired by Paula Meade from Pulte Homes. He said that the manual was
basically an update of the 1989 Pima County subdivision street standards
with one particular thing added, a design exception process. He explained
that staff knew that one size did not fit all and that developers would want
to come forward with unique and innovative projects. He said that the
design exception process created an opportunity for the developer to bring
a concept forward and send it through the review process with the
Planning Commission and then move forward with the plats and
improvement plans. He noted that unanimous approval of the manual was
given by the Planning Commission.
o
Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member
Blake, Ordinance No. 2004.08 and Resolution No. 2004-52 were
unanimously approved.
Presentation by the Consulate of Mexico regarding consular
identification (Mike Reuwsaat)
Mr. Reuwsaat introduced the Consulate of Mexico, Juan Manuel Calderon
Jaimes, to the Council.
Mr. Jaimes addressed the Council and said that it was a great pleasure for
him to have the opportunity to appear before them. He noted that the
Mexican government had a total of 45 Mexican Consulates in the United
States with five located throughout Arizona in Phoenix, Nogales, Yuma,
Douglas, and Tucson. He gave a brief presentation regarding the Mexican
Consular ID, or Matricula Consular, and explained that this form of
identification had already been approved as a valid form of ID by Tucson,
South Tucson, Casa Grande, Eloy, Coolidge, and Pima and Pinal Counties.
He introduced Deputy Consul Eugenia Cabrera Murillo who gave an
detailed review of the official identification. An informational handout that
was distributed to the Mayor and Council has been made a permanent part
of this record. She explained that the Matricula Consular was an official ID
card issued by the Mexican government through its Consular offices or
Mexican embassies abroad and that it identified the bearer as a Mexican
national living outside of Mexico. She said that the ID did not allow a
person to obtain a social security number, driver's license or work permit,
that it did not give access to welfare or health programs such as Medicare
or Medicaid, and that it did not prevent arrest or deportation. She pointed
out that the matricula consular was an official federal government issued
document prepared using great caution and detail for accuracy. She said
that the card had been designed with a sophisticated degree of security in
order to prevent forgery. She informed the Council that the bearer's
information and corresponding card number were stored in a database
maintained by the Mexican government. Ms. Murillo said that decoding
equipment would be provided to the Town of Marana and would aid in
verifying the authenticity of the matricula consular.
Mayor Sutton asked if the Mexican nationals asking for this type of
identification were already residing outside of Mexico.
Consul Jaimes replied yes.
Mayor Sutton asked if approval from the Council at this meeting was
sought.
Mr. Reuwsaat replied yes and commented that the Council would be
following suit with other neighboring jurisdictions in recognizing the ID
card as an official form of identification. He suggested that Chief Vidaurri
meet with the Consulate of Mexico to discuss the details of the ID approval.
Upon motion by Mayor Sutton, seconded by Council Member Escobedo,
authorization to accept the matricula consular as an official form of
identification for Mexican nationals living abroad and for Town officials to
accept authenticating equipment to be used in conjunction with the
identification process. The motion was passed unanimously.
3. State Legislative Issues - Discussion/Direction/Action regarding all
pending bills before the Legislature (Mike Reuwsaat)
Mayor Sutton announced that the Pima Association of Governments (PAG)
Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), HB 2507, legislation was passed.
Mr. Reuwsaat said that the legislation was officially signed but that there
would be a ceremonial signing in the near future.
C. MAYOR AND COUNCIL'S REPORT
Council Member Escobedo reported that the Marana Teen Advisory Council
(MTAC) planning committee and Coordinator will be meeting with the first
group of youth at Marana High School next week to begin inductions into the
MTAC. There were nine applications returned and he believed there would be
more interest as the word is spread.
The Council Member continued by reporting that he had been in San Antonio,
Texas, where he attended a Hispanic summit on sustainable housing along the
Mexican border reaching from Baja California to the Gulf of Mexico. He said it
went very well with 58 different communities attending. Texas, Colorado,
Arizona, California, and New Mexico. He noted that there were projects out
there and, as the Hispanic community continued to grow, the Town would be
working with communities and other states to bring all that together.
Council Member Honea reported that the Western Heritage Foundation held
their Founders' Day rodeo that was previously postponed due to rain. He said
that it was an outstanding, well attended event. He said that the Town's team,
Laurie Young, Jennifer Short, Jennifer Christelman, and Brad DeSpain, won in
the Calf Dressing event. There were 132 team roping teams, barrel racing, and
that it was a really successful event and set the bar very high for things to
come. The committee did an excellent job and everyone was well behaved.
Council Member McGorray reported that she also attended the Heritage Rodeo
event and saw some of the roping plus she presented the trophy to the Marana
team for first place in the calf dressing. She said that there was plenty of
talented riders in this area in the junior barrel racing category and that it was
something to look forward to in the future.
Mayor Sutton said that he also attended the rodeo and presented David Mehl
and Dolores Escobedo with commemorative buckles for their Man and Woman
of the Year status.
Council Member Escobedo recognized Brad DeSpain for his outstanding work
on the rodeo event. He said that Mr. DeSpain was a great help to the Western
Heritage Committee and he was well respected and appreciated.
D. MANAGERS' REPORT
Mr. Reuwsaat announced that the May 18~ Council meeting would be moved
to the Marana Middle School because Pima County would be using the
Council Chambers as a polling place for the County-wide Special Bond
Election on that day. He reported that he had been working closely with
Michael Hein, Pima County Assistant Administrator, on a number of Town-
related issues and that the stellar leadership of Mayor Sutton and the Council
Members had been frequently mentioned. He thanked the Mayor and Council
for their vision and guidance and said that he was proud to work with such a
dedicated group. He commented that Miley and Tom Clark, longtime Marana
residents and community supporters, were recently featured on Trading
Spaces, a cable home decorating show. He said that the program was
entertaining and that Marana had come a long way to be featured on a
nationally syndicated television program.

Traffic Division Report
May 2004
Cortaro Road Traffic Siqnal Coordination Study
In order to improve the traffic flow on Cortaro Road be-
tween Silverbell Road and 1-10, a study will be conducted
to determine how the progression of traffic between those
two points can be enhanced. Kimley-Hom and Associates,
in conjunction with ADOT, will be reviewing the need to
modify the signal phasing and timings at the Cortaro
Road/I-10 Frontage Roads Intersections. They will also be
looking at the need to improve the coordination between
the signals at Silverbell Road, Arizona Pavillions Drive,
and at the 1-10 intersections. It is expected that the study
will result in a smoother and safer traffic flow along this
heavily-traveled section of Cortaro Road.
New Traffic Sianal and Sion Standards
To ensure uniformity in signal design and sign installation
at Town signalized intersections, we are working with Kim-
ley-Hom and Associates to develop new traffic signal and
sign standards. These standards will supplement the Pima
County Signal Design and Sign manuals which the Town
currently uses in the preparation and review of signal
Design plans and sign installations. We anticipate that the
new standards will be ready in the near future and will
help greatly to provide uniformity and consistency at our
signalized intersections.
Juan Batista de Anza National Historic Trail SiRns
At the request of the Traffic Division, the Operations and
Maintenance Division has recently installed auto route
signs commemorating the Juan Bautista de Anza National
Historic Trail, which traverses the Town. (The trail actually
stretches from Nogales, Adzona to San Francisco, Califor-
nia). Approximately 30 signs have been installed along
Silverbell Road, Avra Valley Road and other roadways to
help guide motorists who wish to follow the trail through
the Town.
Safe Routes to School Proaram
The Traffic Division has recently initiated a Safe Routes to
School Program. The program's goal is to develop educa-
tional, engineering and enforcement tools with which to
help provide safe tdps for elementary and middle schools
students on their way to and from school. The program
will develop a documented process so that those immedi-
ately involved with the program (traffic engineering staff,
police, school administration staff, teachers and parents)
all understand the procedures and their respective roles in
the process. Twin Peaks Elementary School has been
chosen as a pilot school for the program. We have met
with the school's principal, the school's Police Resource
Officer, and the Marana Unified School District's Director
of Operations to begin the process of organizing a Safe
Routes to School Committee, which will be responsible for
overseeing this program.
Speed Zone Studies on Ina Road an~] Thornydale
Road
These studies will determine whether the regulatory speed
limits currently posted on these roadways are appropriate
based on the existing traffic conditions. The speed zone
studies considered the current traffic volumes on these
streets, the prevailing vehicular speeds, the accident his-
tory on both roads, and the existing access management
conditions on the roads. The result of the study revealed
that the 45 mph speed limits currently posted on these
roadways are appropriate for the prevailing traffic condi-
tions.
Compliance Studies at Railroad Crosslnqs
Compliance studies are being conducted at the Union Pa-
cific Railroad crossings on Ina Road and on Cortaro
Farms Road. These studies will determine how many mo-
torists are stopping their vehicles on or too close to the
tracks. "Before" studies will be conducted while electronic
vadable message boards are posted advising motorists
not to stop on the tracks. "After: studies will be performed
following the removal of the variable message boards to
see whether the boards themselves served as deterrents.
The long-term intent of these studies is to develop strate-
gies to reduce the number of motorists stopping on the
tracks.
Traffic Slanal at SIIverbell Road-Wade Road Interaec-
tio~n
A traffic signal study conducted at the Silverbell Road-
Wade Road intersection found that the installation of a
traffic signal is warranted at that location. It is expected
that the signal will be designed during this fiscal year and
will be constructed next fiscal year. The signalization
should make this a much safer intersection for motorists
exiting Wade Road, pedestrians crossing Silverbell Road
as well as emergency vehicles entering the intersection
from the Northwest Fire/Rescue District's station on Wade
Road. We are currently in the process of selecting an en-
gineering consultant that will be responsible for designing
the signal.
Wamino Beacons at the Avra Valley Road- Sandario
Road Intersection
A traffic signal warrant study was conducted at the Avra
Valley Road~Sandario Road intersection. The results of
the study found that a traffic signal is not recommended at
the intersection at this time. However, in order to enhance
the safety at this location, flashing warning beacons will be
installed on the Side Road warning signs currently posted
on the Avra Valley Road approaches to the intersection. It
is expected that the warning beacons will help greatly to
better alert motorists about the approaching intersection.
At this time the required beacon assemblies have been
purchased and the project is under design.

Environmental Planning Projects
Tres Rios del Norte
This project is a cooperative effort between the City
of Tucson Water Department, Pima County Flood
Control District and the Town of Marana in conjunc-
tion with the United States Army Corps of Engi-
neera. This purpose of this study is to evaluate ap-
proximately an eighteen mile stretch of the Santa
Cruz River from Prince Road to Sanders Road for
projects such as habitat restoration, water supply,
flood control and recreation.
Status: The Town of Marana has prepared a com-
ment letter to the Army Corps of Engineers on the
50% Draft F4 Document. These comments will be
submitted for inclusion into the F5 Document. The
F4 conference is scheduled for November 18, 2003
in Phoenix.
Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area
The vision of a National Heritage Area designation
for the Santa Cruz Valley in southern Arizona is
gaining momentum due to a convergence of local
efforts to conserve natural resources and open
spaces; to preserve historic structures and amhaeo-
logical sites; to educate the public about the history
and cultures of this region; to increase national rec-
ognition of the region; to develop heritage tourism
and bring other economic benefits to local communi-
ties; and to improve cultural ties across the U.S.-
Mexico border.
Status: The Town of Marana showed support of the
application and designation of the Santa Cruz Valley
Heritage Area by passing Resolution No. 2003-133
at the Town Council Meeting on October 21, 2003.
Arizona Pollution Discharge Elimination-System
This project was initiated by a federal mandate in which
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
was given pdmacy. Six minimum control measures
have been defined for compliance. The minimum con-
trol measures are as follows:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
5. Control of Post-construction Site Runoff
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Status: The Town of Marana has actively been working
with PAG to get public involvement on a regional level.
PAG is working with local jurisdiction on the develop-
ment of an Outreach Connection web site. This site is
being developed to enable water educators in the Tuc-
son region to share information about their outreach
and education efforts. Pima Association of Govern-
ments (PAG) and the University of Arizona's Sustain-
ability of semi-Add Hydrology and Ripadan Areas
(SAHRA) are working jointly on this effort. SAHRA has
agreed to develop the web site, to host it on their site,
and to provide technical support for the site. Each of
the participants will update their information on a regu-
lar basis, so that the website stays current and use-
able. PAG would coordinate the website users so that
the site is maintained and so that new users are in-
formed about the site. This website will focus on water
resources and water quality outreach and education.
The topic for the next Stormwater Working Group
Meeting will be to develop a plan for regional outreach
and deciding what activities to pursue. The funds from
PAG's Federal Highways Administration that may be
used for this purpose must be spent before the end of
June.
Procedures are beginning to be development for resi-
dent concerns, comments and requests for information.
A scope of work has been developed for the mapping
of the storm sewer system. Once the Town has an As-
Needed Civil on board this scope of work will be given
to the company for implementation.

Resolution No. 2004-64: Relating to Water; Supporting Operation of
the Yuma Desalting Plant
DISCUSSION
The Central Arizona Project, through a federal obligation, is required to provide Mexico with
100,000 acre feet of water.
Currently, the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District is providing water to Mexico
without charge against Mexico's entitlement to Colorado River water. Built in 1990 under Title
I of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act, the Yuma Desalting Plant was never used
because of the abundance of water available through the Colorado River and/or Lake Mead.
There now exists a drought that will affect the ability to store and provide drinking water to
Arizona's population and still provide water to Mexico under the federal mandate. Activating
the Yuma Desalting Plant to treat drainage water that could be discharged into the Colorado
River for use by Mexico under its treaty entitlement would meet the national obligation and
conserve water supplies for Arizona's entitlement of Colorado River Water
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution regarding the activation of the Yuma DeSalting
Plant.
SUGGESTED MOTION
move to approve Resolution No. 2004-64.
State Legislative Issues M~tR/JCB 05/12/2004/2:14 PM
MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2004-64
RELATING TO WATER; SUPPORTING OPERATION OF THE YUMA DESALTING PLANT.
WHEREAS, the Town of Marana ("Town") is a political subdivision of the State of
Arizona, and is a rapidly urbanizing municipality in Pima County, Arizona, located in the Tucson
Active Management Area designated by the Statutes of Arizona; and
WHEREAS, the Town is dependent on one of the largest sole source drinking water
groundwater aquifers for its supplies of water unless water supplies are supplemented by
Arizona's entitlement to Colorado River Water received from the Central Arizona Project; and
WHEREAS, increased Colorado River water storage in Lake Mead is critical to providing
adequate supplies to the citizens of Marana; and
WHEREAS, the United States is currently bypassing an average of more than I00,000
acre-feet of drainage water per year fi.om the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District to
Mexico without charge against Mexico's entitlement to Colorado River water under Mexico's
1944 Treaty with the United States and replacing it with Colorado River Water; and
WHEREAS, the United States is required, as a national obligation under the Colorado
River Basin Salinity Control Act to replace these bypassed flows and thereby conserve Colorado
River water for use in the United States; and
WHEREAS, Title I of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act authorized the con-
struction and operation of the Yuma Desalting Plant as the method for treating the drainage water
so that the water could be discharged into the Colorado River and charged against Mexico's
treaty entitlement; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado River basin and all of Arizona is suffering from a period of
drought and each year that passes without operation of the Yuma Desalting Plant reduces the
amount of water stored in the Colorado River reservoirs by an amount equivalent to the bypassed
flows, thereby increasing the risk of water and electric supply shortages; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Marana and its citizens rely on sound water management and
development policies, and in particular rely upon the Colorado River water stored in Lake Mead
and delivered by the Central Arizona Project for a significant portion of its municipal water
supplies; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the entire State to have the benefit of the Yuma
Desalting Plant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, that the United States undertake all efforts necessary to
operate the Yuma Desalting Plant for the purpose for which it was constructed pursuant to the
Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act.

Jane Howell
Request for Additional Planning Staff
DISCUSSION
Planning activities continue t o increase as various developments a re brought t o t he T own for
approval. The Planning Department has not added staff for the past four years. The result has
been an increase in the amount of time it takes for processing development plans and a
concomitant reduction in the staff's ability to focus on customer service to the level desired. In
addition, additional support is necessary to fulfill technical environmental review and
implementation requirements.
A request for an additional Planner I, with an environmental focus, and a planning technician has
been tentatively approved for FY 2004-2005. The Planning Technician will assist citizens and
developers with questions they may have regarding rezoning, associated restrictions and
procedures for submitting development review plans, rezoning and variances, among other duties
of support. The Planner I will focus on the environmental issues associated with development
within the Town and the implementation of the mitigation programs.
Staff requests approval for these positions now. Fiscal impact would be:
Planner 1:$33,706 minimum +$10,112 benefits + $3,000 work station = $46,818
Planning Technician: $27,222 + $8,167 + $3,000 work station
= $38,389
Estimated Total Impact + $85,207
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of two additional staff, Planning Technician and Planner 1-
Environmental, to be hired as soon as possible.
SUGGESTED MOTION
move to approve the hiring of a Planning Technician and a Planner 1.

shall operate a hang glider, powered paraglider, ultralight or any other device
under Part 103 at, onto or from the Airport without prior approval of and a written
agreement with, the Airport Director." The operating requirements and course
rules contained in this agreement satisfy the spirit and intent of the Ordinance.
b) Each operator, instructor, and student operator shall agree, in writing, to abide by
the provisions of this agreement and all regulations, advisory circulars,
exemptions, ordinances, and other documents that are attached or incorporated
by reference. Failure to do so may result in revocation of the person's privilege to
operate an ultralight at the Airport.
3. Ultralight Operator and Vehicle Registration

Airport must be registered and rated with an FAA- approved organization, such as
the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Foundation (AOPA -ASF) or
U. S. Ultralight Association (USUA). Proof of such registration and approved
rating must be presented and approved by the Airport Director before the person
operates an ultralight at the Airport.
b) Each ultralight vehicle operated at the Airport must be registered with an FAA -
approved organization and marked in accordance with the organization's
program. Proof of such registration must be presented and approved by the
Airport Director before the vehicle is operated at the Airport. Any changes in
registration or ownership must be reported to the Airport Director within 10 days.

Day 109 and Still No Budget...
Another week at the Legislature has passed and still very little is known about the
status of the state budget negotiations. On the Senate side, bipartisan negotiations
continue and appear to be making progress toward a Senate agreement. Senate floor
calendars and voting have been very light this week in order to allow as much time
as possible for the negotiating groups to meet. President Bennett mentioned on
Wednesday that an agreement appeared to be close.
Less is known about the status of the House budget plan where leadership has been
very silent on any of the goings on. Negotiating groups appear to be meeting, howev-
er, the make up and size seem to keep fluctuating. This week, House Democrats grew
more vocal over their discontent with not being inclu&d in the process.
On the executive budget front, Governor Janet Napolitano indicated that she would not
negotiate with either the House or Senate until the Legislature rdeased a joint budget plan.
She expressed a preference for the Legislative budget process to be more open to the public.
As always, we will let you know should any movement occur on the budget, especially
if state shared revenue is on the table.
Governor Signs PAG
Transportation Bill Into Law
Governor Janet Hapolitano signed HB 2507: Regional Transportation Authority; Excise
Tax into law on Friday, April 23rd. This legislation reinstates the authority of the Pima
Assodation of Governments, serving as the regional transportation authority, to call a
countywide sales tax election to help fund the region's transportation plan. Thank
you to Governor b!apulitano for signing this bill and recognizing the importance of
this legislation to the citizens and local governments in the Pima County region!
Governor Signs Key Military
Facilities Preservation Measures
The Governor has signed three pieces of legislation designed to preserve Arizona's mili-
tary installations. HB 2134: Natural Gas Storage Faeilitias; Restrictions prohibits a natur-
al gas storage facility from locating within nine miles of Luke Air Force Base. HB 2141
in&des Luke Air Force Base Auxiliary Airfield # 1 in local land use planning and develop-
ment requirements that currently apply to military airports and establishes notification
requirements. HB 2662 addresses issues concerning military training mutes in the State.
Another military preservation measure, SCM 1008:F-35 Strike Fighter; Arizona
Bases, has been transmitted to the Secretary of State. The legislation instructs the
Secretary to send a copy of the legislation to the Department of Defense and asks the
Defense Secretary to consider making an Arizona military base the home of the F-35
joint str~ke fighter. Another measure, which would also be sent to the Secretary of State
- CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
Page2
Issue No, 16 April 29, 2004
for transmittal to Congress requests the Bureau of Land Management to
trade land with landowners near Luke Air Force Base and Yuma Army
Proving Ground. The legislation still needs one more vote in the House
of Representatives and a final vote is expected shortly.
The only other military bill still remaining in the Legislature is HB 2140,
the bill containing the Governor's Military Facilities Task Force recom-
mendations. Because this legislation indudes an uppmpriation, HB
2140 was additionally referred to the Senate Appmpriatious Committee
and is awaiting a hearing before that committee. We have received word
from the Committee Chair, Senator Bob Burns, that the bill will be heard,
however, not until after the details of the state budget are resolved, which
could mean that the bill won't be heard for several weeks.
Thanks to all of the municipal officials that have worked tirelessly on
legislation to preserve Arizona's military installations. Specials thanks
are also due to Representatives John Nelson, Jennifer Burns, Jim
carruthers and Phil Hanson for their leadership on this important issue.
Much Ado About Sex
Offender Clustering
There were many bills introduced trying to solve the problems associ-
ated with sex offenders this year, but few have survived the Legislative
process. Because our League resolution is rather broad regarding
protections against sex offender clustering, we are monitoring all bills
that may have an impact. The following bills are on the list:
HB 2214: Sex Offenses; Defense; Registration, a bill that adds luring a minor
for sexual exploitation to the list of dungemus crimes against children and
prescribes sentencing for this crime, defines position of trust and in&des
sex offender registration requirements, has been hdd up in the Senate
Republican Caucus for several weeks and is likely dead for this session.
HB 2418: Rental Properties; Sex Often&rs, &fines any rental property with
more than ten percent registered sex offenders as tenants as a slum proper-
ty and subjects the owner to dvil penalties. The bill exempts property that
is in an industrially zoned district or that the courts have granted an excep-
tion. The Chairman, Robert Blendih who is concerned about the constitu-
tionalky of limiting where a person lives, has hdd this bill in the Senate
Rules Comrulttee. There have been public requests to release the bill made
by its sponsor, Representative Deb Gullett and Representative Clancy Jayne,
but to no avail. This bill is most likely dead unless a discharge petition is
signed by a supermajority of the Senate to release the bill from Rules.
HB 2452: Sex Often&rs; Identification; Monitoring has been signed by the
Governor and in its final form replaces an annual registration fee with a
$250 registered sex offender assessment. It also requires a registered sex
offender to carry an annually updated license and assigns a dass 1 roisde-
meenor with a $250 penalty for failure to comply with license require-
merits. The assessments and fees ore to be used for the maintenance
of a sex offen&r monitoring website. This bill is now Chapter 142.
HB 2602: Sex Often&rs; Community Notification makes level two sex
often&rs subject to the same notification requirements as level three
sex offenders. The bill requires a process to be created whereby a sex
offen&r can request a lovd designation change and also that a study be
done to determine whether standards are similar throughout the state
when designating a sex offender at a spedfic level. This bill passed the
Senate this week and should be up for a House vote next week.
HB 2135: Sex Offenders; Registration; Lifetime Probation, sponsored
by Representative John Ndson, would mandate lifetime probation for
any person required to register as a sex offender that failed to do so.
The bill was never heard in the House Appropriations Committee and
is dead for this session.
SB1307: Sex Offenders; Residency Restrictions prohibits more than three
registered sex offenders on pmbafion from living in the same structure
or within a one-quarter mile radius of another sex offender. The bill
failed in the House Judidary Committee and is &ad for this session.
SB 1291: Sex Often&rs; Community Hotification; Applicability would
grant cities and towns the authority to apply existing registration, risk
assessment, and community notification requirements to sex offend-
ers that were convicted before June 1, 1996 (pre Megan's Law).
This bill has not been heard in the House Rules Committee and
is still pending.
Legislation to Allow
Firearms in Bars Advances
The House approved SB 1210: Bar Licenses; Firearms; Insignias on
Wednesday by a vote of 35-18. This legislation would require a restau-
rant or bar licensed by the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control to
conspicuously post a notice at each entrance if that establishment wishes
to prohibit the possession of firearms. If a sign is not posted, a person
would be permitted to possess a firearm. The bill was amen&d to
restrict individuals with firearms from drinking insi& the establishment.
Law enforcement had expressed concerns about this legislation and
its potential impact on issues associated with liquor establishments.
The legislation was originally introduced as HB 2648, however it
failed to advance in the Senate after being hdd in both the Senate
Commerce and Judiciary Committees. An amendment with language
similar to HB 2648 was added to SB 1210 in the House
Appropriations Committee.
SB 1210 now goes to the Senate for the bill's sponsor, Senator Marilyn Jarrett,
to ~ or reject the senate changes. If accepted, the btll would need a final
Senate vote before going to the desk of Governor Napoliutno.

Senate Releases Budget Plan, State
Shared Revenue is Untouched
The Senate released its budget plan this week, ending a standoff between the
House and Senate over which chamber would be the first to reveal their bud-
get plan. The Senate budget is a product of bipartisan negotiations and con-
tains a mixture of budget cuts, fund transfers and appropriations that would
be "triggered" if revenues reach certain benchmarks. The good news is that
state shared revenue is not reduced and is fully restored to the 15% level.
Once the budget was rdeased on Monday, there was a flurry of activity in the
Senate to pass the budget package through the Appropriations Committee
and floor debate and vote. Yesterday, the full Senate voted on the budget bills
and forwarded the budget package to the House for their consideration. All of
the budget bills passed the Senate except for one of the two proposed all-day
kindergarten funding bills. Because all-day kindergarten funding was the one
outstanding issue that Senators could not come to agreement on, the Senate
decided to introduce two competing all-day kindergarten bills. The bill that
failed, SB 1408, would have funded a limited grant program for certain low-
income schools for all-day kindergarten. SB 1407, which passed, is similar to
the Governor's all-day kin&rgarten proposal and would eventually imple-
ment state funding of all-day kindergarten at all public schools in the State.
As reported last week, the House has still been extremely quiet about their
budget plans. There have been rumors that the House has enough votes to pass
the Senate budget bills, with some amendments, however, it is unclear what the
amendments to the bills would contain. Because the legislative session is
already past the 115th day, nearly two weeks later than the target adjournment
date, there is considerable pressure on the House to take quick action on either
their own budget or to work on the Senate's version. Due to this fact, it is likely
that the House will take some action toward a budget next week.
Effort to Sneak In New Fees In the
Budget is Brought to Light
When 19 budget bills are drafted and voted on within a three-day period, it is
almost inevitable that someone will try to sneak something in somewhere.
Last year it was judicial collections. While we are still sorting through the
details of this week's voluminous Senate work, we have found at least one
odiferous provision in their budget package.
SB 1417, State Fees, contains a requirement for the Arizona Department of
Quality (DEQ) to establish fees to
- CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
Page 2
Issue t~o. 17 May 6, 2004
administer their pollution discharge elimination program.
This would impact sewer and storm water permits. Until
three years ago, the federal Environmental Protection Agency
exercised regulatory authority over these permits. At the
time, state legislation authorized DEQ to take over but with
the firm understanding that if the State through DEQ was
going to take on this new authority, it was not going to pass on
the costs of implementation to the permittees including cities
and towns. In fact the legislation expressly prohibited DEQ
from assessing fees. The legislation likely would not have
passed without this provision.
This year's legislation violates the agreement from three years
ago and was included in the Senate budget package without
even consulting the permittees who the earlier agreement was
made with and who will have to pay these fees. If the State didn't
want to pay for this program, they shouldn't have taken it on.
It was DEQ that pursued this authority. At the time, permittees
induding cities and towns, were not advocating transferring
oversight from the federal government to the State.
The House will consider SB 1417 next week. Please let your
representatives know that you are opposed to this provision and
do not appreciate the State trying to go back on its word not to
charge fees. While we are still trying to sort out the details, it is
also important to note that it does not appear that DEO is pur-
suing this change. We are still trying to track down the source
and will let you know as soon as we learn more.
Governor's Military
Preservation Task Force Bill
Passes the Senate
As promised by the Senate Appropriations Chairman Bob
Burns, the Governor's Military Facilities Task Force legislation
was heard this week in conjunction with the budget hearings.
Because it contained an appropriation, HB 2140 had been held
up until a budget agreement was reached in the Senate. On
Tuesday, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed FIB 2140,
which was amended with a strike-everything amendment con-
taining the latest version of the legislation from the Governor's
Military Facilities Task Force. HB 2140 was approved by the full
Senate yesterday by a vote of 28-2 with Senators Robert Cannell
and Ken Cheuvront voting no.
In addition to appropriating $4.9 million annually for
military installation preservation projects, HB 2140 con-
tains several changes to cities and towns land use policy
for land in the vicinity of military airports. Specillcally, each
city, town and county must notify the Attorney General of the
approval, adoption or readoption of their general or compre-
hensive plan or any major amendment to the plan within
three business days and the Attorney General is authorized to
determine compliance with planning and zoning in a high
noise or accident potential zone. HB 2140 also defines "ancil-
lary military facility" as Luke Air Force Base Gila Bend
Auxiliary Field and Yuma Marine Corps Air Station Military
Auxiliary Field and requires land use planning to accommo-
date the high noise and accident potential zones for each of
these installations.
HB 2140 now goes back to the House for the bill's sponsor,
Representative John Nelson to accept or reject the Senate changes.
Arizona State Retirement
SYstem (ASRS) Eligibili /Bill
Clears Important Hurdle
HB 2049, the legislation and League resolution that clari-
fies what .entities are eligible to join ASRS is moving once again
in the Legislature. This bill had been delayed because of two
amendments to the bill added last month in the Senate
Finance Committee. The amendments,which were unrelated
to the ASRS eligibility provisions, appropriated funds from
ASRS's administrative account to implement two other pieces
of legislation passed earlier in the session dealing with ASRS
policies. With the addition of an appropriation in HB 2049, the
bill was additionally referred to the Senate Appropriations
Committee, which delayed hearings until a budget agreement
was reached.
Because a budget agreement was reached in the Senate, the bill
was addressed this week. However, instead of going to
Appropriations, the bill was withdrawn from the Committee
with the understanding that the money-related amendments
will be stripped off on the Senate floor. Further progress was
made this week when HB 2049 cleared the required procedural
step of passing the Senate Rules Committee. It is now able to
be considered by the full Senate.

Issue No. 17 May 6, 2004 Page 3 I
20 votes will be needed to pass the bill with an emergency
clause so it is important to call your Senators and ask them to
support HB 2049. There have been concerns expressed by some
Senators that the bill would allow too many entities to join
ASRS, however this is not true. Please be sure to tell your
Senators that the eligibility requirements are specifically
defined to only include entities that are created in whole or in
part by political subdMsions, where the majority of the mem-
bership is composed of political subdivisions and whose pri-
mary purpose is the performance of government-related ser-
vices. This change in definition will provide consistency to
ASRS eligibility as some councils of government have been able
to join while the Central Arizona and Maricopa councils were
recently denied membership.
Third Time is Not a Charm for
the Maricopa County Assessor
On Wednesday, the House failed SB 1341: Affidavit of Value;
Political Subdivisions by a vote of 22-34. This is the bill brought
forward by the Maricopa County Assessor to require cities and
towns to provide information to the assessor when they acquire
or sell properties. The bill was made even worse when an
amendment was added to require cities, towns and state agen-
cies to not only file additional information with their county
recorders but to also pay county recorders for receiving it.
This session marks the third time that legislators have decided
that this bill is not necessary and have failed the bill. Hopefully
this will send a message to the county assessor to try to work
out the issue of information collection and dissemination with
the county recorder and municipalities, rather than trying to
place a state mandate on cities and towns. Thanks to all of the
cities and towns that contacted their representatives on this
issue! Your phone calls, emails and faxes made an impact with
your representatives.
Red Light For Anti-Cruising Bill
HB 2136: Unauthorized Assembly Of Vehides; Penalty was
thought to be a widely supported bill that had made it through
both the House and Senate but was defeated at its final passage
by a vote of 19 to 37. The bill would have allowed political
subdivisions, through ordinance, to tow a vehicle if it restrains
the movement of traffic or impedes law enforcement, emer-
gency services or access to a business or home and allowed for
a $I00 fine.
The original legislation was brought forth by the City of
Phoenix where "cruising" occurs in many parts of town on a
regular basis and becomes a matter of great concern if and
when police or emergency services cannot be deployed safely.
This was not the first anti-cruising bill introduced and defeated
over the years and it most likely will not be the last.
