PROCLAMATIONS June 19, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS. Mayor Honea reminded everyone of the 4th of July event, and also noted there would be no Council meetings in July. The next regular meeting will be August 7, 2018. MANAGER'S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS. Mr. Mehta reported on a number of accomplishments over the past year, starting with getting into the animal care business in January which has been a success both financially and as a service to the community. on the commercial side, Top Golf became Marana's newest destination for sports and entertainment. As part of the Land Development Code, which is a significant undertaking, Council approved the Downtown Overlay District and the Blended Use Zoning District. A couple of years ago, Council approved changes to the Transportation Circulation Element to the General Plan, and staff completed the first of several road improvements that included realigning Marana Load, and soon we will cap off that project ,with an attractive landscaping element on the roundabout, the new gateway to North Marana and Downtown. At the airport, we are narrowing the gap between revenues and operating expenditures with new leases that are now at current market rates. This is the first chance the town has had to do that as owners of the airport. We continue to reinvest in the airport with an additional $5.5M (an item that is on the Consent agenda this evening). This year, the town has tripled the capacity at the water reclamation facility from what it was when the town tools over the sewer business. Council has for the last seven years been in charge of its own destiny regarding sewer service. one of the other reasons the Council went into the sewer business was to enhance Marana's water portfolio. The recharge facility that Council also approved is nearly ready to take in 100% of the effluent from the new sewer plant. Tangerine Road is virtually completed, which is a significant regional project. The new police facility is within a couple of months of completion, and that facility serves the town for future demand for public safety for many years. And finally, the town continues to be well- positioned to attract new residential development. We had targeted 625 single family residences for this fiscal year. At the end of May we had 737, and we predict the total to be around Soo, if not more, by the end of this fiscal year. So it has been a very good year for what has essentially been our primary growth area, which is residential. PRESENTATIONS P1 Relating to Community; presentation regarding the Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery Foundation fundraiser (Tony Hunter). Tony Hunter started by noting Marana's significant history of supporting military veterans. Our efforts have led to Marana being a Purple Heart Town. It was in this spirit that the town worked with the Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery Foundation to contribute to their fundraising drive. The artwork on display tonight, entitled "Home at Dusk," by artist Robert Taylor, depicts a squadron of P-51 Mustangs flying in formation during WWII, June 19, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 2 represents Marana's contribution to the fundraiser and placed on permanent display by the Foundation at the Veterans Cemetery with a commemorative plaque. Mr. Hunter than introduced IIIb. Sawn Pf und, a board member of the Foundation. Mr. Pfund expressed the Foundations deep appreciation for Marana's effort and contribution and thanked the Council for being a bright light on this project. He also thanked the Kai Foundation for the donation of the property on which the cemetery is built as well as the Marana Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies for their continued support for traffic and escort services for their missions. The next mission is October 28, 2015, and it is open to the public. CONSENT AGENDA. .Motion to approve the Consent Agenda, excluding item C4, by Council .Member Ziegler, second by Vice Mayor Post.

BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES COUNCIL ACTION Al PUBLIC I -TEARING: Resolution No. 2018-067: Relating to Budget; adopting the Town of Marana's fiscal year 2018-2019 final budget (Erik Montague). Mr. Montague presented the final budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19, beginning with the budget timeline which began. in January for Council. However, he noted that the budget process actually began for staff back in September of 2017. Related to Council involvement, in January staff presented the preliminary revenue outlook for FY 2019. In February staff presented the initial 5 -year Capital Improvement Plan. In April staff presented the Manager's Recommended Operating Budget. In May staff brought forward the tentative budget which sets the expenditure limit for the year, and tonight staff is requesting adoption of the final budget. He then gave an overall expenditure summary. The overall general fund expenditure is just over $49M, about a 7% increase over the last fiscal year. Most of that is attributable to some of the compensation adjustments. Special revenue funds increased by about 20% or $9.4M. The capital projects funds of $39.1M, a decrease of 51%, is directly attributable to the major projects that were completed or are substantially complete - the Twin Peaks Interchange, the water reclamation facility expansion, and the public safety facility. Debt service is largely the same at $5.51111, with a slight increase of 1%. Enterprise funds at $25.51111 is a decrease of 45.8% due to the construction of the water reclamation facility. Internal service funds are for the self-insured health and dental funds. Those are both healthy funds, and we are not anticipating any major change. June 19, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 4 Component units are what we are calling special districts which are basically the Community Facilities Districts. The final budget of $7.9M. is based on the influence and control that the town has over the districts. The total budget is $141,670,250. He then gave a general summary of where the money comes from, noting that most of our operating revenues are from sales tax. Mayor Honea opened the public hearing.

He was especially appreciative of the ways budgets are put together and run.
