DISCUSS ION/DIRECTION/I'OSSIB LE ACTION February 26, 2019 Study Session Meeting; Sunima3y Minutes 1. D1 Relating to Public works; presentation, discussion, and passible direction regarding the draft Marana 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Program (Keith Brann) Keith Brann, Town Engineer provided a PowerPoint Presentation of the 2020-2025 Preliminary Capital Improvement Plan (on file in the Tozun Clerk's Office) and responded to questions posed by the Council related to the progress and timeline of those projects discussed. The areas of the presentation consisted of the following: • Completed Construction Projects • Completed Design Projects • Long Term/ Continuing Projects • CIP Development Process o CIP Project Detail Compilation o Project Evaluation ■ contractual obligation ■ Alignment with Town Goals ■ Effect on ongoing Costs ■ Effect on Town Revenue o Engineering Department ■ Related Projects o Parks Department ■ Related Projects o water. Department, presented by John Kmeic, water Director ■ Related Projects o Marana Airport ■ Related Projects o General Fund Requested Projects ■ Honea Heights Park ■ Marana Main Street Electrical Upgrade ■ Parks Department ora Mae Maintenance Yard ■ El Rio Preserve Parking Lot Jamsheed Mehta, Town Manager, stated most of these projects are subject to the Town having a good sense of what would be a onetime fund availability to Marana as part of the development budget process. The Town will know within a the next month or two a onetime dollar amount of availability in the General Fund that staff will be able to identify those General Fund Requested Projects to go forward with funding. As these four projects have been identified, he identified two other that are not included in this presentation as funding had not been determined in the next fiscal year budget, or in some following year. Those projects include the: Northwest Nature Park, the area surrounding the recharge facility off of Luckett Road (subject to the availability of funds at that time or finding another available source); another project that is related to safety —street lights. For some time Marana has taken the Dark Skies ordinance in a literal manner. The ordinance does not mean to keep the Town dark, as we could have lights but installing the right type of fixtures to avoid light pollution. February 26, 2019 Study Session Meeting Summary Minutes 2 In built out areas of the Marana community, he feels as though it is extremely dangerous without having some lighting in key intersections where residential streets come out onto arterial roadways or intersections. He proposed an extended program where the Town begin to install infill lighting programs and fund sufficient amounts each year so that we eventually have a program that will cover a significant portion of Marana. Staff would only bring this forward if there is sufficient funding within the General Fund.
