Environmental Class Water to be used as the water source for the El Rio
Preserve; and authorizing the Town Manager to sign rights of entry necessary
to convey the water to the El Rio Preserve (Frank Cassidy)
Discussion:
Resolution No. 2003-29 authorized the Town's purchase of land containing a former
ADOT borrow pit located in the floodway on the west side of the Santa Cruz River north
of Coachline Boulevard for recreational and possible future environmental mitigation
purposes. The land was sometimes referred to as the El Rio Open Space. The Marana
2010 General Plan identifies the El Rio Open Space as dedicated open space being used
as a disc golf course and serving as wildlife connectivity habitat between the Tucson
Mountains and the Santa Cruz River.
Resolution No. 2011-08 approved and authorized the Town Manager to implement a
management plan for the El Rio Open Space, with the primary management goals
of maintaining the site as a disc golf course, preserving the site as wildlife habitat and
linkage, eliminating off-road vehicle use, avoiding disturbance to cultural resources in
the area, monitoring and removing invasive non-native species, and managing fire
threats.
During the 2014 monsoon season, damage to an earthen berm caused the El Rio Open
Space to remain flooded for an extended period of time, making most of the disc golfMarana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 10 of 196
Space to remain flooded for an extended period of time, making most of the disc golf
course unusable. Since the 2014 monsoon flooding, the site has attracted 235 species of
birds, and many birders and other recreational enthusiasts. With the added attention
and attraction to the site and the resulting potential for damage to the site or to the
wildlife or cultural resources found there, the Council designated the El Rio Open Space
as a Town preserve by the adoption of Marana Ordinance No. 2015.007 adopted on
March 24, 2015, and the area is now commonly referred to as the El Rio Preserve.
By letter dated March 31, 2015, former Town Manager Gilbert Davidson initiated a
process to design and construct a wetlands area at the El Rio Preserve. A copy of the
letter is included with the backup materials. As of November 2017, Dibble Engineering
has prepared 60% design plans for the "El Rio Riparian Restoration Project," Marana
Project PK026, proposing the eventual construction of two ponds and various pathways
and related park amenities at the El Rio Preserve, as part of a Water Infrastructure
Financing Authority 50% cost-share grant awarded to the Town. In a related project,
Pima County is scheduled to design bank protection along El Rio Preserve this summer,
with construction scheduled for summer 2019. The El Rio Riparian Restoration Project
will reduce mosquitos, trash, and unlawful activities at the El Rio Preserve.
A sustainable water supply is critical to the success of the El Rio Riparian Restoration
Project. Fortuitously, a large CMID irrigation pipeline parallels the south right-of-way
line of Coachline Boulevard, just south of El Rio Preserve. Town staff has negotiated
with CMID to purchase Environmental Class Water to be used as the water source for
the El Rio Riparian Restoration Project. Town staff has also negotiated with Pima County
Flood Control District for a temporary right of entry to use an existing concrete channel
to convey the water from the CMID irrigation pipeline to the western edge of El Rio
Preserve. Other rights of entry may be needed in the future for delivery of the CMID
water to the eastern end of El Rio Preserve.
If adopted, this resolution will approve and authorize the signing of the CMID IGA for
purchase of Environmental Class Water, the Pima County Flood Control District right of
entry facilitating delivery of that water to the El Rio Preserve, and any other right of
entry needed in association with the El Rio Riparian Restoration Project.
Financial Impact:
CMID's current rate for Environmental Class Water is $121.86 per acre-foot. Town staff
estimates that 15 acre-feet will be needed to fill the westernmost pond ($1,827.90), and
that 23 acre-feet per year will be needed to maintain the water level ($2,802.78). Town
staff is currently awaiting an estimate of the cost to design and construct the connection
to CMID's pipeline and the cost of the meter.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2018-041, approving and authorizing the
signing of the CMID IGA for purchase of Environmental Class Water, the Pima County
Flood Control District right of entry facilitating delivery of that water to the El Rio
Preserve, and any other right of entry needed in association with the El Rio Riparian
Restoration Project.

Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2018-041, approving and authorizing the signing of the
CMID IGA for purchase of Environmental Class Water, the Pima County Flood Control
District right of entry facilitating delivery of that water to the El Rio Preserve, and any
other right of entry needed in association with the El Rio Riparian Restoration Project.

TOWN OF MARANA
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Dear Residents and Friends of Marana:
The Town of Marana thanks you for your interest and support of the El Rio Open Space
Preserve (sometimes referred to as Marana Lake, Coach line borrow pit or the Marana Disk Golf
Course). It has been incredible to watch the wildlife and birds that make this area their home or
resting place . The Town is committed to creating and sustaining these types of natural open space
areas.
In order to achieve a long-term sustainable environment, the Town, in partnership with
other entities, will be letting the lake area dry so that proper cleaning and removal of debris can
take place . While this drying and cleaning phase is happening, an effort will be under way to
design and construct a wetlands area that is more sustainable and achieves environmental
standards that reflect the values and concerns of our community. These standards include
mosquito containment, water quality and smell, and consistency with other regional wetlands and
river restoration plans .
This is an opportunity to create a well-designed wetlands experience for our community
and visitors. We ask for your support as we transition into this drying and clean-up phase.
The Town will be working in close partnership with Pima County, the Audubon Society,
the Sonoran Desert Conservation Coalition, neighbors, and other stakeholders to achieve a
functional wetlands system with appropriate amenities. Your thoughts are welcome and will be
included as part of the various processes moving forward.
Please note, there are many interests and property rights involved in this discussion , so
while all ideas and thoughts should be presented , some may not be adopted or implemented.
Updates related to this project will be made available on the Town's website
(www.marana.com), blog (www.marana365.com) and social media sites (search Town of Marana
on Facebook and Twitter).
The Town and our partners look forward to working with you as we create this amenity
that will serve as an outstanding attraction for residents and visitors.

From:Jane Fairall, Deputy Town Attorney
Date:May 15, 2018
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Resolution No. 2018-043: Relating to Real Property; approving and authorizing
the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to Option and Wireless
Communications Facility Lease Agreement with Verizon Wireless LLC for the
lease of approximately 864 square feet of Town-owned property at the Town of
Marana water reservoir site located at Linda Vista Boulevard and Hartman
Lane (Jane Fairall)
Discussion:
Effective September 21, 2015, the Town and Verizon Wireless entered into an Option and
Wireless Communications Facility Lease Agreement by which the Town granted to
Verizon the right and option to lease a portion of the Town's property located at 5541 W.
Linda Vista Boulevard for a wireless communication facility.
On November 17, 2015, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-125 approving
the issuance of a conditional use permit (CUP) to Verizon to allow Verizon to develop
the wireless communication facility on the property, subject to certain conditions,
including the conditions that Verizon must plant a minimum of two live palm trees at
the site and provide the trees with permanent irrigation.
As required by the CUP, Verizon planted two live palm trees and installed an irrigation
system for the trees. The first amendment to the lease agreement on tonight's agenda
provides that the Town will take ownership of the trees and assume responsibility for
maintenance of the trees. In return, Verizon's monthly rent will increase from its current
amount of $1591.35 to $1,695 per month; Verizon will warranty the trees for two years
after the effective date of the amendment; and Verizon will pay the Town a lump sum of
$50 for the Town to refurbish the existing irrigation system.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 32 of 196
Financial Impact:
Verizon's monthly rent will increase more than $100 from $1,591.35/month to
$1,695/month. This increase should offset the increased expense to the Town for
maintenance of the palm trees.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the agreement between the Town and
Verizon.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2018-043, approving and authorizing the Mayor to
execute the First Amendment to Option and Wireless Communications Facility Lease
Agreement with Verizon Wireless LLC for the lease of approximately 864 square feet of
Town-owned property at the Town of Marana water reservoir site located at Linda Vista

Subject:Resolution No. 2018-044: Relating to Police Department; approving and authorizing the
Mayor and the Chief of Police to execute an intergovernmental agreement between the Town
of Marana, Pima County and other participating public safety agencies to create and operate
the Pima Regional Mobile Field Force (Libby Shelton)
Discussion:
The presence of a highly trained, highly skilled police crowd control unit has been
shown to substantially reduce the risk of injury or loss of private and public property.
The deployment of a Mobile Field Force to riotous incidents usually results in the
successful resolution of these incidents.
The purpose of this agreement is to create and operate the Pima Regional Mobile Field
Force with other public safety agencies in Pima County. The Pima Regional Mobile
Field Force will respond to any of the following: acts of civil disobedience, protests, civil
disturbances, riots, sports events or other events that require a cohesive law enforcement
response to enhance public safety.
Each participating jurisdiction will fund the procurement of all necessary equipment for
its members. The agreement is for an initial term of five years, with an option to extend
the IGA for two additional five year periods.

above, and in consideration of the matters and things hereinafter set forth, do mutually agree
as follows:
Agreement
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 44 of 196
2
I. Purpose
The purpose of this IGA is to form the Pima Regional Mobile Field Force, the mission
of which is to respond, when requested by a Participating Jurisdiction or other law
enforcement entity, to any of the following: civil disobedience, protest, civil
disturbance, riot, sports event or other event which requires a cohesive unilateral law
enforcement response to mitigate participant actions during the event and to secure,
isolate and resolve situations in a manner consistent with escalation of force theories
and the preservation of life.
II. Scope
The Participating Jurisdictions shall work together in good faith through their various
law enforcement agencies to form and operate the Pima Regional MFF as set forth in
the Standard Operating Procedures and Policies Manual (the “Manual”), which is
incorporated herein by this reference.
Additional jurisdictions may be permitted to participate upon the unanimous consent of
all the then-Participating Jurisdictions, and execution of a resolution and a counterpart
signature page to this IGA by the additional jurisdiction’s governing body. Any new
participant so admitted will be deemed to be a “Participating Jurisdiction” hereunder.
All individuals selected to participate as members of the MFF will continue to be
employees of the Participating Jurisdiction with which they are associated.
III. Financing
Each Participating Jurisdiction will fund the procurement of all necessary equipment
for its members of the MFF. Grant funds obtained for the MFF shall be used for the
benefit of all Participating Jurisdictions. In the event a Participating Jurisdiction
withdraws from the MFF pursuant to Section V(A) or (B) herein, the Participating
Jurisdiction shall not be entitled to any share of grant funds existing at the date of
withdrawal, and all such funds shall continue to be used for the benefit of the
remaining Participating Jurisdictions. Each Participating Jurisdiction shall bear the
costs of its own employees incurred in the implementation and operation of this IGA,
including wages, overtime, health insurance, benefits, and workers’ compensation.
IV. Term
This IGA shall be for an initial term of five (5) years, effective as of the signature date
of the last Participating Jurisdiction to sign this agreement. The Participating
Jurisdictions shall have the option to extend the term of this IGA for two additional
five (5) year periods or any portion thereof. Any modification or time extension of this
IGA shall be by formal written amendment executed by the Participating Jurisdictions.
V. Termination
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 45 of 196
3
A. Withdrawal without Cause. A Participating Jurisdiction may terminate its
participation in the MFF under this IGA, with no less than sixty (60) calendar
days’ written notice to the other Participating Jurisdictions. If a Participating
Jurisdiction terminates as a result of a failure of its governing body to budget and
appropriate sufficient funds to support that Participating Jurisdiction’s
participation, and a sixty (60) calendar days’ notice is not possible, it shall give
the other Participating Jurisdictions written notice of the non-appropriation
within ten (10) business days after the final budget is adopted by its governing
body.
B. Withdrawal for Cause. A Participating Jurisdiction may withdraw immediately
in the event that the MFF, for reasons other than the actions or directions of that
Participating Jurisdiction’s MFF members, materially breaches the standard
operating procedures in a manner that exposes that Participating Jurisdiction to
significant additional legal liability, or the MFF or one or more other
Participating Jurisdictions materially breach this IGA. Because each
Participating Jurisdiction understands and acknowledges that its withdrawal from
the MFF will cause significant disruption to the operation of the MFF, it shall not
exercise this termination option unless the breach or exposure is significant,
material, or of an on-going nature.
C. Termination in Event of County Withdrawal. In the event that the County
terminates its participation in this IGA, and after completion of the duties set
forth in subsection D below, this IGA shall terminate as to all Participating
Jurisdictions. The withdrawal of any Participating Jurisdiction other than the
County shall not affect the validity and continuation of the IGA as to the other
Participating Jurisdictions.
D. Shutting Down Operations. Upon expiration of this IGA, or in the event of an
earlier termination as to all the Participating Jurisdictions, whether by agreement
of the Participating Jurisdictions or as a result of the County’s withdrawal, the
remaining Participating Jurisdictions hereto shall cooperate in good faith to close
the operation of the MFF in a manner that is safe and fiscally sound.
E. Disposition of Equipment. In the event a Participating Jurisdiction terminates its
participation or withdraws from the MFF pursuant to Section V(A) or (B), any
uniforms purchased through grant funding and assigned to members of the
terminating or withdrawing Participating Jurisdiction shall remain the property of
the Participating Jurisdiction. All equipment purchased through grant funding
and assigned as MFF equipment will remain with the remaining Participating
Jurisdictions. A terminating or withdrawing Participating Jurisdiction shall
retain any personal equipment purchased for its members by the Participating
Jurisdiction. In the event this IGA is terminated pursuant to Section V(C), all
equipment purchased for the MFF through grant funding shall be divided
proportionally among the Participating Jurisdictions.

Subject:Relating to Procurement; approving a change order to the Santa Cruz
Shared Use Path EI Rio to Avra Valley Rd. project (PK013) construction
contract with Pima Paving Inc. in the amount of $6,245.00; authorizing
the transfer of appropriations if necessary for the change order; and
authorizing the Town Manager or designee to execute the necessary
documents to effectuate the change order (Keith Brann)
Discussion:
Marana Town Code Section 3-4-7(B)(4) provides that Town Council approval is
necessary for change orders that individually or cumulatively exceed $50,000.
On July 31, 2016, Pima Paving Inc. was awarded a construction contract for $776,263.77
to construct the Santa Cruz Shared Use Path EI Rio to Avra Valley Rd (PK013). The
project consists of a 14-foot shared use path from EI Rio Park to Avra Valley Road,
approximately 1.45 miles with five drainage crossings. The project coincides with
development of Pima County Anza Trailhead at Coachline Road.
The Town has processed two prior change orders for the project: $10,791.00 to address
erosion issues at the drainage structures, and $51,949.58 for supplementary erosion
protection to the slope of the recently constructed shared use path and to address a
safety concern at a sharp turn by adding additional pavement to the inside of a curve.
This third change order is to compensate the contractor for an unforeseen sub-surface
demolitions that impacted construction.
During construction existing sub-surface materials were discovered to be in conflict with
the original design of the path. This unforeseen condition was not included in the
original design, and was not quantified in the contract documents prior to bid.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 59 of 196
original design, and was not quantified in the contract documents prior to bid.
These sub-surface materials required additional work to be performed by the contractor.
After review of the submitted pay applications it was determined that the additional
work was warranted and that the contractor should be compensated for the extra work
in the amount of of $6,245.00.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2018
Budgeted Y/N:Yes
Amount:$6,245.00
Funding in the amount of $6,245, consisting of Park Impact Fees, fund line
31651010-8015-PK013 is available within the Santa Cruz Shared Use Path EI Rio to Avra
Valley Rd. (PK013) budget.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the change order.
Suggested Motion:
I move to approve a change order to the Santa Cruz Shared Use Path EI Rio to Avra
Valley Rd. project (PK013) construction contract with Pima Paving Inc. in the amount of
$6,245.00; to authorize the transfer of appropriations if necessary for the change order;
and to authorize the Town Manager or designee to execute the necessary documents to
effectuate the change order.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS
Council Member Officer thanked Council for their support regarding his appointment
as a Council Member, and he appreciates being able to work with the town . Council
Member Ziegler welcomed Erik Montague as the new Deputy Town manager. Mayor
Honea commented on the Monsanto greenhouse plant that will employ Marana
residents. Monsanto is planning to develop a hybrid corn. He also announced that
there was an Arbor Day tree planting and groundbreaking event at the new Honea
Heights Pocket Park located near St. Christ opher’s Church on Moore Road.
MANAGER’S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS . Mr. Mehta also noted
his gratitude for Erik Montague accepting the position of Deputy Town Manager. He
also referred to the teacher walkout that left several employees with a chi ld care
situation that Vickie Hathaway and her Communications group was able to address
last-minute. The kids came away with a lot of good information and had a mock
introduction as to how the Council works and actually ran their own council meeting,
including an official proclamation from the Mayor. Mr. Mehta further noted that he
hadn’t provided a paper version of the Council Executive Report. He is trying to
transition out of the paper report to something that would be electronic. He then asked
that Tony Hunter and Jason Angell give Council a preview of some of the changes and
enhancements.
PRESENTATIONS
P1 Relating to Public Works; presentation regarding the status of the six year
pavement preservation program (Mo El -Ali). Mr. El-Ali began by noting that six
years ago the Council adopted a six-year pavement preservation policy .
Tonight’s presentation is an update of the last four years – what we have
completed, what we are working on this year, and what we are looking next
year. He noted that in the current pavement network, we have 520 lane miles,
1507 pavement segments, all with an average pavement co ndition rating of 72.
The roads are divided into pavement segments depending on the pavement
conditions. Detailed information is kept on each s egment of road as to the
condition – rating, length, width, are and all the maintenance that is done. The
system-wide average pavement condition rating is at 72, which is a good
pavement condition rating. Marana’s roads are considered to be the best in the
region. He then discussed the newly accepted pavement from 2014 -2017,
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 63 of 196
May 1, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 3
consisting of 40 lane miles, primarily located in northeastern Marana. Between
2014-2018, we completed approximately 36 miles of pavement infrastructure
which includes Avra Valley Roa d and Marana’s section of the recently completed
Tangerine Road. Between 2014 -2017, the town preserved approximately 142 lane
miles which represents 27% of the total network and funding of $5M, ,primarily
from the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF). Some of these are Berry Acres,
Quail Crossing, Gladden Farms, Honea Heights, The Villages, The Bluffs,
Continental Ranch, Hartman Vistas, Cortaro Ranch, Silverbell Hills Estates and
Continental Reserve. The current pavement preservation program this year
represents 66 lane miles of the total network which is 13% of pavement. The
scope of work is crack sealing Twin Peaks Road and Dove Mountain Boulevard
and applying a variety of surface treatments on the rest of the roads. These are
major roads as opposed to our previous focus on subdivisions. The HURF is also
the funding source of $1.26M for these projects.
The regional local road repair program, funded by the county -wide property tax
for year 1 represents 100 lane miles or 19% of the pavement t o be preserved. The
treatment is crack sealing, and the funding is about $1.1M. The bids came in
about $200K lower than the allocation. The second year of the road repair
program which is funded by the county -wide property tax, is also 100 lane miles,
and we are applying crack-seal surface treatments to the same map as previously
discussed, but applied to subdivisions rather than major roads.
Our asset management system is Cartegraph which helps us prioritize the
projects by planning maintenance activiti es and predicting future asset
conditions so that we can be proactive in managing our streets. We document all
the requests we receive, and we are able to answer those inquiries from all the
documentation that we have. Vice Mayor Post noted that the pavement
standards were recently changed and asked how that will affect our long-range
pavement preservation plan and whether making that change pushed out some
of the maintenance on the newer projects. Mr. El-Ali responded that 77% of what
was presented will b e protected. They cannot cut those pavements. We are
creating a portal so that customers can look at each road and see exactly what the
condition is and what roads are protected under that pavement cut ordinance.
That was the benefit of passing the ordinance. Council Member Bowen noted
that $1.1M was mentioned as coming from county property taxes, but we were
going to save $200K on that, so what happens to the $200K? Mr. El-Ali
responded that the $200K would either roll over for the second year or be added
to work right now. Discussions to that effect are occurring now with the county
and the Technical Advisory Committee, so we won’t lose the money either way.
The next phase is surface treatments, which costs more, so that might be in line
with what we need to treat those roads. Council Member Bowen asked how
often the roads are re -assessed. Mr. El-Ali noted that previously we assessed the
roads every three years, but we are wo rking on re -assessing them every two
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 64 of 196
May 1, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 4
years. Next year we are planning on doing a comprehensive re -assessment of all
of the roads. Council Member Kai asked, regarding the newly accepted
pavement programs , how many years after a pavement is built by the deve loper
does the town take it over and who inspects to make sure it’s in good shape
before we take responsibility? Mr. El-Ali responded that projects are designed,
whether it’s a capital project or a developer project, for 20 years, but with proper
maintenance, pavements can last 40 -50 years. The town performs an inspection
before we accept the roads into our system. Typically with developments, they
either apply surface treatment immediately, or there are bonds that are put in
and transferred to us to apply that treatment.
CONSENT AGENDA. Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Post, second by
Council Member Bowen. Passed unanimously.

COUNCIL ACTION
A1 Resolution No. 2018-040: Relating to Economic Development; extending the
Downtown Marana Reinvestment Fund for ten years and authorizing its use for
public infrastructure incentives associated with Downtown Marana mixed -use
development (Curt Woody). Mr. Woody noted that tonight’s request is to
extend the program an additional 10 years and the other is to use those funds as
an incentive for the developers to opt in to the recently adopted downtown
overlay zone. The funds would be used for public infrastructure projects such as
landscaping and hardscape , drainage, public roads and parking lots owned by
the town. By offering developers a monetary incentive we will have a better
chance for developers to opt in to the overlay zone and give us an opportunity to
build our vision for a downtown district. This would require negotiation and
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 65 of 196
May 1, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 5
entering into a development agreement depending on the parameters and then
brought forward to Council. Vice Mayor Post asked what kind of money Mr.
Woody anticipated being generated. Mr. Woody responded that currently it’s
averaging $230K per year. As more retail comes into the downtown district that
will increase. It’s funded by 50% of the construction sales tax generated on a
project and 50% of the retail sales tax. It’s continually funded year over year
around $600K now. Vice Mayor Post asked if there were plans for sidewalks
south of the traffic circle for the pre -existing businesses. Mr. Mehta responded
that at this time, we do not have a sidewalk -related program, but it is something
that we would be considering going forward. Mr. Woody reiterated that the goal
of these funds is to be used as an incentive for new construction or
redevelopment that would opt in to that form-based code that Council recently
adopted. Motion to adopt by Council Member Bowen, second by Vice Mayor
Post. Passed unanimously.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION
Relating to Legislation and Government Actions; discu ssion and possible action
regarding all pending state, federal, and local legislation/government actions and on
recent and upcoming meetings of the other governmental bodies (Jamsheed Mehta).
Mr. Mehta announced that the state budget is now being debated. The appropriations
bill was submitted yesterday, and the League is currently reviewing the impact of all of
the bills and various proposals for the budget and will get back to us soon. A couple of
House bills that we are tracking with a lot of interest are HB 2162 and HB 2479.
HB 2162 is the bill that Pima County and other counties in the state are looking forward
to a transportation excise tax bill. One of the more recent changes here is that there is an
effort to introduce a strike r bill on what we thought was probably a dead bill but has
resurrected itself. He then gave a brief overview of the recent history of the bill
including a section introduced by Rep. Leach. If approved in its current striker form,
the unanimous vote of the Board would not be required in order to go to the voters. It
talks about an extension, and also possibly an excise tax up to 1%. Right now, RTA has
a half-cent. If it goes forward as a regional bill, the town has had no say in the matter
and has not been consulted about it, either at the PAG/RTA level or by any other
jurisdiction. Therefore, we are opposed to it in its current form and will continue to
lobby hard against it. Sen. Worsley, representing the City of Mesa is the author of the
current bill.
HB 2479 has to do with digital goods and services. This bill has gained traction
recently. It will be a drop in the revenue for some cities and towns. There were
estimates from a few weeks ago in which it could have been as high as $40M for all
cities and towns; he is not sure how it would directly impact Marana, but in some
proportion to that. We are a community that relies on that level of sales tax , so this
would be primarily a hit to our general fund, although it is hard to predict how much
that will be at this time. But as it moves forward, we continue to be opposed to it as is
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 66 of 196
May 1, 2018 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 6
the League. It is moving through the House right now; it hasn’t gone to the Committee
of the Whole. We have heard that there is an attempt to call it a sine die which means it
brings the whole legislative session to an end the end of this week.
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-431.03, the Town Council may vote to go into executive session,
which will not be open to the public, to discuss certain matters. Motion to adjourn to
executive session on Item E2 at 7:47 p.m. by Vice Mayor Post, second by Council
Member Bowen. Passed unanimously.
E1 Executive Session pursuant to A.R.S. §38 -431.03 (A)(3), Council may ask for
discussion or consultation for legal advice with t he Town Attorney concerning
any matter listed on this agenda.
E2 Executive session pursuant to A.R.S. § 38 -431.03(A)(4), discussion with and
instruction to the Town’s attorneys in settlement discussions regarding the
pending litigation entitled Town of Marana et al. vs. Terracon Consultants, Inc. et
al., Pima County Sup erior Court case number C20163948.
The Council returned to the dais at 8:22 p.m. Mr. Cassidy requested a motion
from Council on Item E2, in the case of Pima County and Town of Marana vs.
Terracon Consultants, Inc., Presidio Engineering and Tetra Tech, staff requests
authorization to settle the case for the defendants paying a total of $200K to th e
plaintiffs that is divided between the County and the Town, the Town will get
$180K of that. As part of that, the Town will end up releasing the defendants
from other claims. We would also ask for authorization to have the Town
Manager sign a formal settlement agreement. The other option would be, once
the settlement agreement is formalized, staff can bring it back to Council at the
next meeting. However, Mr. Cassidy is recommending the first option. Motion
by Vice Mayor Post to authorize the Town Mana ger to sign the formal
settlement agreement. Second by Council Member Kai. Passed unanimously.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Notwithstanding the mayor’s discretion regarding the items to be placed on the agenda,
if three or more Council members request that an item be placed on the agenda, it must
be placed on the agenda for the second regular Town Council meeting after the date of
the request, pursuant to Marana Town Code Section 2 -4-2(B).

Occupation Director of Strategic Analysis (Developments, Acquisitions and Asset Management)
Employer Watermark Retirement Communities
What is your vision for the Town?I have enjoyed my time in Marana for the last two years after living in Tucson my whole life. I
love the family-friendly environment, the pro growth strategy and the well maintained
infrastructure. I have seen the vision for Marana in action living in the Saguaro Bloom
development for the last two years and am excited for the continued growth in the area and
Marana as a whole. My company is also developing 100+ bed assisted living and memory care
community in Marana (Silverbell and Continental Reserve Loop) and which illustrates our belief in
the continued growth and strength of the Town.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
It will be important to keep an eye on water quality as well as road quality and capacity given the
growth. I have experienced these concerns first hand while living in Saguaro Bloom with the
impact on roads and our resources. I am also wanting to keep an eye on school quality and the
need for additional elementary, middle and high schools given the population growth. Additionally
the need to improve Cortaro is going to become even more pressing with the growth in the area
(capacity issues as well as the railroad tracks creating issues with emergency services and traffic
delays).
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
The Town has beautiful outdoor settings/views that will bring a younger and more active group to
the area (Raytheon, Catepillar, etc). The easy access to I-10 is a huge benefit as it provides the
ability to get to Phoenix and downtown Tucson quickly and safely. Potentially additional golfing
options would help attract more 55+ active adults and young executives.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 72 of 196
Please explain your professional
background
I joined Watermark in 2006 while attending the Eller College of Management. In that time, I have
been integrally involved in the growth of the company from 7 communities to now 52
communities across 21 states (~9,500 beds under management) with a pipeline that will bring us
to more than 60 communities and one of the top 10 senior housing operators (based on beds
under management). I complete all market and financial feasibility for acquisitions and
developments (sourcing both equity and debt for transactions) as well as Asset Management and
Investor Relations with our financial partners.
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
I am currently involved in the Emerging Leaders Counsil which is a group of young professions
(under-40) focused on accelerating Tucson's business growth and our own careers through great
networking opportunities.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
I have been one of the final decision makers on moving forward or not on a potential acquisition.
Even after significant time, effort and money had been expended I advocated to not pursue the
opportunity due to the project's risks.
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
My role with Watermark involves numerous decisions that are for the benefit of the company
and do not necessarily personally benefit me. I am confident in my ability to make objective
decisions for the Town that may not directly impact my own residence or me personally.

What is your vision for the Town?Marana continues to grow and is prosperous because of a very business friendly community,
scenic views, and fantastic amenities. My vision for the Town is to sustain growth and prosperity
with out causing undo congestion, distractions to our outdoor activities, and unsightly
development. Incorporation of public art, great transportation infrastructure, and enhancements
to our scenic parks and vistas will be key initiatives going forward.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
I do believe that uncontrolled growth can be a major issue. Some of this has already occurred.
Developers desire Marana as a location of preference. With development, which is wanted,
transportation issues will continue to arise. Congestion will grow and residents will than leave. I
saw this all across California and in the San Antonio to Austin, I35 corridor, in Texas. It is a real
problem. As a transportation professional for many years, I am highly qualified to use common
sense to make sure residents are able to enjoy the rich amenities this Town offers.
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
I believe the beauty of Marana is number one. It is a clean Town, with lovely views all around.
Outdoor activity opportunities are abundant, along with some outstanding facilities. The Ritz
Carlton and Top Golf come to mind. The Tucson Outlet of course is a big draw. Then again
affordable and elegant housing is available through out the Town which truly captures those
wanting to live in southern Arizona.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 76 of 196
Please explain your professional
background
I worked for the Missouri Pacific RR and Union Pacific RR for 38 years. During that time I worked
hard, starting as a switch person up to Director of Transportation Services prior to retirement. My
resume will explain all of those duties in which I performed. Retiring in 2016 I am now a Sales
Associate in the Real Estate field and enjoy working part time with clients and educating myself in
Real Estate and Development.
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
My experience has been very fruitful. I a currently on the Marana Town Citizens Forum, starting
in the Fall of 2017. I have applied for Planning Commission last year and spoke about my
application in front of the full Town Council on August 15, 2017. I have attached my dialog to the
Council in this application.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
During early 2012 while Director of Transportation in San Antonio, TX., for Union Pacific RR. I was
transferred to that city to help erect a sinking ship. I had to stand firm with our COO on a totally
new transportation plan while also reducing our operating budget by over two million dollars. I
was told that service could not suffer and would not be tolerated. The plan was implemented and
cost reductions were put in place. Through very hard work by my team of local managers we
were successful and received accolades during a visit by our COO 1 year later.
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
I will endear that my decisions are made for what is best for the Town of Marana. During my
railroad career I had to make tough decisions everyday. I was able to take emotions out of those
decisions and used data intensively to guide those decisions.

MY NAME IS JAMES FARMER
I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR, COUNCIL, AND STAFF FOR ALLOWING ME TIME
THIS EVENING TO SPEAK IN REFERENCE TO RESOLUTION NO. 2017-079.
I HAVE AN APPLICATON SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL TO BECOME A MEMBER ON
THE TOWN’S PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT
OUT MY QUALIFICATIONS, AS WELL AS REQUEST THE FULL COUNCIL TO REVIEW
MY APPLICATION AGAINST THE APPLICATION OF THE CURRENT NOMINEE, WHOM
WAS NOMINATED ON AUGUST 4, 2017, BY THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE FOR
PLANNING.
I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD, CONCERNING
THE MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETINGS HELD ON JUNE
6, AND AUGUST 4, 2017. MY ORIGINAL APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED PRIOR TO
THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON JUNE 6. I WAS PRESENT FOR THAT
MEETING AND PARTICIPATED DURING THAT REVIEW. I WAS THE ONLY APPLICANT
WHO ATTENDED THAT MEETING. AT THAT TIME THE COMMITTEE NOMINATED
THE THREE INCUMBANTS WHO WERE NOT PRESENT. I ACCEPTED THOSE
CIRCUMSTANCES AND POLITELY THANKED THE COMMITTEE FOR THERE TIME
AND ALSO THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO JOIN THE CITIZENS FORUM. I DID
ACCEPT THAT INVITATION AND BECAME PART OF THE FORUM IN JUNE OF THIS
YEAR. ONCE AGAIN I THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. I ONLY
MENTION THIS BECAUSE IN THE MINUTES OF THE LATEST COUNCIL COMMITTEE
MEETING ON AUGUST 4, 2017, IT WAS NOTED FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD,
SPECIFICALLY, THAT I WAS NOT IN ATTENDENCE, ALTHOUGH AT THE JUNE
MEETING THE ABSENCE OF THE THREE INCUMBANTS WERE NOT MENTIONED,
SPECIFICALLY. I WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO A PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED
MEDICAL PROCEEDURE THAT COULD NOT BE CANCELLED, HOWEVER I APOLOGIZE
FOR MY ABSENCE.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 82 of 196
ALTHOUGH I DO NOT HAVE THE GOVERNMENT EXPIERENCE THAT THE NOMINEE
HAS, I FEEL I CAN CONTRIBUTE MUCH MORE TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMITTEE. I HAVE LIVED IN MARANA APPROXIMATLY 9 YEARS. A 38 YEAR
TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL, I HAVE WORKED WITH MANY LARGE CITY
GOVERNMENTS, SUCH AS PHOENIX, SACRAMENTO, AND SAN ANTONIO TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS AND CONFLICTS RESULTING FROM THE GROWTH OF THESE CITIES
AND TOWNS. SEEING THESE POINTS OF CONFLICT BEFORE THEY MATERIALIZE
AND SOLVING THEM PROACTIVILY WAS PART OF MY CAREER. IN MY CAREER I
HAD TO HANDLE MILLION DOLLAR BUDGETS, THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES, AND A
HUGE AMOUNT OF ASSESTS. PUTTING ALL THESE TOGETHER AND ALLOWING
THEM TO FLOW INTO ACTUAL OPERATIONS, WERE AMOUNG MY BIGGEST
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THAT BEING SAID, I CAN SEE PROBLEMS ARISING THAT
NEED ATTENTION, FUTURE GROWTH ALONG THE TWIN PEAKS AND DOVE
MOUNTAIN CORRIDOR, AND COTARO FARMS AND I-10 INTERCHANGE. MY
BEILIEF IS THAT MARANA IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE TODAY. SHOWING A 24%
POPULATION GROWTH FROM THE 2010 CENSUS TO THE ESTIMATED 2016
CENSUS, SHOWS MARANA IS GROWING. MY VISION IS FOR MARANA TO BE THE
MOST MENTIONED TOWN IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES
CAN FIND THE BEST IN A TRANSPORTAION NETWORK, THE BEST IN JOBS, THE
BEST IN SCHOOLS, THE SAFEST COMMUNITY, AND THE BEST OVERALL LIVING
EXPIERENCE IN ARIZONA. IF THE COUNCIL WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO REVIEW MY
APPLICATION, PRIOR TO A FINAL VOTE, MY BELIEF IS THAT THE MERITS OF THE
APPLICATION WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY
HAVE AND POINT OUT MY QUALIFICATIONS IN MORE DETAIL.
THANK YOU AGAIN, TO THE MAJOR, COUNCIL MEMEBERS, AND STAFF FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY.

What is your vision for the Town?Responsible development and diversity in housing opportunities.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
Continued need for annexation, budget constraints as the population increases, potential lack of
water to the area, drawing large retailers to some of the outlying areas of the town. I think the
town needs to be smart in how it expands from both a size perspective as well as staffing. The
City of Tucson is a good example of how a government can get behind in their budget needs due
to a lack of proper planning. A concern regarding expansion is in regards to Tucson Water who
provides a large amount of the water supply to the town, how will that relationship continue to
thrive? Will TW continue to supply water as we expand? How does affect, if at all, the relationship
with Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department and their desire to control all of
the county regarding sewer needs? How does further expansion of the Town affect future sewer
needs?
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
The diversity of housing opportunities is part of what drew me to Marana and I feel is a large
draw to anyone looking to move into the area. Whether you are a single professional, a family, or
a retired couple, there is a product available to you in the town. The Town of Marana does a great
job in keeping up with infrastructure needs as the population and traffic to different areas
increases. New neighborhood parks, trails and bike paths in expanding areas are all great assets
to our town.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 86 of 196
Please explain your professional
background
My career began as a reviewer in Pima County for the Development Services department. I was
a reviewer for multiple disciplines including wastewater, right of way, septic, hillside/grading and
floodplain. After about 2 years I chose to move into the private sector to take over an existing
permitting business and have been self-employed ever since. My role for clients can be as simple
as submitting plans to the town for review or as complicated as managing the permit process for
a new development or high rise. For the last 4 years I have been a board member of MPA and
this year, 2018, I am the board chair. For the last 10 years I have participated with the City of
Tucson on their stakeholder committee and haven been chairing the group for the last 7 years.
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
In 2016 I was appointed to the Planning and Development Services Department Advisory
Committee for City of Tucson. We met several times to discuss ongoing issues with COT PDSD
and provide feedback on how the city could improve both their process and improve staff morale
as workloads increased but staffing numbers did not.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
Recently as the Board Chair for MPA we interviewed several candidates for the Executive
Director position. When it came time for the board to vote on a candidate my choice for a new
ED was in conflict of other board members. I expressed my reasons and thoughts behind my
decision and ultimately did not cast a vote for the popular candidate. Regardless of my personal
choice and convictions, the board voted, a decision was made, and I support that decision. As the
Board Chair it is my job to be a resource for the ED and provide support. As a team player I
understand that I will not always get my way, nor will I always be correct, but it is my
responsibility to speak up and be heard. It is possible to disagree respectfully and also to move
forward agreeing to disagree.
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
Remaining objective requires one to place themselves in someone else's shoes. I would evaluate
all information provided, try to imagine myself in the area in question, and investigate what
options there are for that area. I would attempt to evaluate the area from multiple perspectives
by researching the needs of other residents and not assuming that my needs are the only
relevant ones in development.

What is your vision for the Town?Promote the use of renewable sources of energy. Provide a business supportive environment for
environmentally friendly organizations to add a wide variety of jobs which contribute to a vibrant
economy. Establish training programs to provide a skilled workforce for the incoming jobs. Pay
the instructors competitively.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
The impact of global on our life style and on the number of residents we can support.
The availability of safe drinking water.
Controlled access to our natural resources.
Affordable safe housing.
Jobs providing livable wages.
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
The beautiful terrain and wild life that exist in this wonderful weather zone.
Please explain your professional
background
I have worked in all areas of the computer industry including:
. product design
. manufacturing
. software development
. sales
. strategic alliances
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 91 of 196
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
I have worked as Vice Chairman for the Marana Board of Adjustment. We received excellent
training on multiple occasions and were provided excellent administrative support from Terri
Byler.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
The most unpopular decision I had to make was telling Microsoft the company I was working for
had a software development team in Russia that needed to see some Microsoft proprietary
code. My company headquartered in the US, did not want to divulge that fact. That fact
threatened to destroy the negotiation. But we had proprietary code that needed to access
certain values and our code provided functionality that Microsoft needed to sell into some key
market segments. We eventually agreed on an API which allowed us to extend our added value
to the Microsoft platform.
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
During my experiences negotiating partnership contracts between computer firms, it was critical
to find common ground among parties. The Planning Board must not only discover the specifics
of the town plan, but also the intent, and where there is room for interpretation. Each resolution
must consider the best solution for all residents, while providing a positive, supportive response to
the citizen's with the request. Be prepared by doing my homework. Be fair. Focusing on both
sides of the question while drawing upon experiences from the past enables me to envision
myself as a neutral arbitrator minimizing personal biases.

What is your vision for the Town?Definitely not "piecemealed" as in some other communities. I am very found of the Marana, its
farming history and warm, small town feel. I grew up in a similar environment, Benson Arizona,
which is a ranching town. I think the rural/agricultural roots of the community can be successfully
linked to residential and business growth if its carefully managed. This is done through intensive
pre-planning, with a clear path to follow. I of course would be coming in late in the process.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
Infrastructure is always my primary concern. Do we have the physical and monetary capacity
and adequate revenue to sustain growth. A pot-holed two lane road to service 5000homes for
example. Having worked in this field for so many years and having worked with hundred of
homeowners associations, I've witnessed horribly overbuilt and under-engineered communities
leaving the homeowners holding a very expensive bag they cant carry.
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
Space, roads in many cases east of I-10. Ease of assess to I-10, the view of course. An escapist
feeling of leaving in a community rather than a dirty city .Its biggest asset in my eyes truthfully is
a certain charm it holds, may we never loose it. Its unique.
Please explain your professional
background
Many years of HOA consulting, horticulture, landscaping of course, of every conceivable type
teaching business for a brief period (one year) at the collegiate level. I have a lot of experience
with new and old developments, which I believe qualifies me for this position. I am also on the
Marana Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. I owned my own successful business for
over a decade.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 95 of 196
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
My experience is limited in this area. A bit through the Chamber.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
Almost daily, I oversee 12 managers and 100 plus employee's with a yearly revenue of 8 million.
I do compromise or change when its right. I've never met anyone who was right 100% of the
time. I wont be intimidated into a bad decision however. I've been managing people and their
problems for over 25 years now, the experience is invaluable. I'm also honest. Many people say
that however its hard to not to. Often one may want to spare feelings etc. those "little white
lies". Well I don't, there still lies to me..
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
I handle that the way I do everything. I don't ask others to do what I will not and I hold myself to
the highest standards of integrity. The same applies here, perhaps more so in light of this
responsibility. This is very serious business to me. I care a great deal about our community and
will never disgrace or dishonor it in any way.

What is your vision for the Town?I believe Marana is positioned to become a model community. It's location along the I-10 freeway
makes it a great place to locate a business. The town needs to focus on developing a city center
which is easily recognizable. Currently, there is limited central focus.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
If Marana continues to grow as it has in the past, there will be need for comprehensive planning
to ensure a cohesive community. Marana has grown to over 40,000 people in a short period of
time. I believe it will continue to grow at the same pace or more. This will require a dedicated
Town Council and staff to stay up with the community needs.
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
The location along I-10 is probably the most significant asset the Town has. Most large businesses
want to be at a location convent to the freeway.
The other significant asset is the positive attitude of the Town toward new development. The
Marana staff are dedicated to making Marana a better place to live and are eager to work with
new developments and businesses.
Please explain your professional
background
I am a licensed civil engineer. I have served in several positions with the Nevada Department of
Transportation over the course of the 25 years I was there. I served as Hydraulic Engineer,
Senior Design Engineer, Chief Roadway Design Engineer, Assistant Director of Operations and
Deputy Director.
After leaving the Department I served as a VP and office manager for consulting engineering
firms. My last position was overseeing three offices for the firm Washington Group International.Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 101 of 196
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
I am currently serving on the Marana Citizens Forum. I have been on the Forum since 2015. We
have covered several issues each year and presented our findings to the Marana Town Council.
I have also served on the State of Nevada Emergency Response Commission, the advisory
committee to the University of Nevada Las Vegas Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering, the citizens advisory committee to the Clark County Regional Transportation
Commission.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
At several times in my career I have given public hearings presenting issues which are
controversial. Probably the most difficult one was giving the public hearing for the selection of the
freeway location between Reno and Carson City Nevada. Over the two nights the hearings had
over 400 people in attendance with various groups opposing each alignment. The hearings went
on from 6:00 pm to 2:00 am both nights.
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
I have prided myself throughout my career as being a professional objective individual. I have
always made every effort to do what is right.

division of NDOT. This division prepared the design plans, specifications and estimates for
the entire NDOT annual construction program. He had over 100 employees involved in
design, traffic engineering, hydraulics and specifications writing. In this capacity, he was
responsible for budgeting for the division as well as management of the program. He served
as a member of the AASHTO committee on design.
May 1983 – July 1986 – Assistant Director Operations – Mr. Hill was responsible for the
administration of the operations divisions of NDOT including the Construction Division,
Maintenance Division, Contract Compliance Division, and the Materials and Testing Division.
In all there were 300 employees under his supervision. In addition to the management
responsibilities, he was responsible to represent the Department at Board of Directors
meetings, City Council meetings, County Commission meetings and State Legislative
hearings. He reviewed and approved the budgets for the divisions under him and defended
the budget requests to the Director and legislature.
July 1986 – June 1995 – Deputy Director – Mr. Hill and the director of NDOT were
responsible to administer the entire Department of Transportation. At that time there were
1500 employees, and the annual budget was $350 million. Mr. Hill was responsible for
management of the divisions as well as serving as the Secretary to the NDOT Board of
Directors. He and the Director guided the NDOT legislative program through the legislature.
A major area of responsibility was the coordination of the NDOT program with the 17
counties and the various cities and regional authorities. While in this position he served one
year as the Secretary of the WASHTO (Western Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials) organization. He also served on two AASHTO (American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) standing committees: the
Standing Committee on Administration and the Standing Committee on Highway Traffic
Safety. Between 1986 and his retirement in 1995, Mr. Hill served as the Co-Chairman of the
State Emergency Response Commission.
Experience: PRIVATE INDUSTRY
August 1995 – October 2006 – Director/Area Manager – Since leaving NDOT, Mr. Hill
was employed in private industry as an engineering office manager and area manager. In
this capacity, he was responsible for hiring and recruiting the employees in one office and
later on in three offices. He prepared the annual budget and coordinated with the corporate
offices on all phases of management of the staff. He served as Principal-In-Charge on
highway, bridge and freeway design, construction management and survey projects. In
addition, he served as the project manager on several of the projects. Mr. Hill was
responsible for the marketing efforts of the offices, assisting in preparing and reviewing the
proposals prepared for the clients. He was active in the project presentations. As Principal-
In-Charge, he was the ultimate person responsible for client satisfaction. The clients were
state highway agencies, cities, counties, and private developers. All but sixteen months of
this time he was employed by Washington Group International (formerly Morrison Knudsen

The Town has developed into a prosperous community known regionally measured and sustainable growth while
maintaining a harmonious coexistence with our neighboring communities. The continued infrastructure development
demonstrates the Towns commitment to prosperity. In my view, these commitments must continue.
No attendance or participation in the past six-years due to my appointment to the Towns board of adjustment. I
believe that as a board member I should not attend council meetings to maintain separation. However, I follow the
council actions through the minutes and media resources.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 108 of 196
I have over 30-years of managerial and supervisory experience in private sector, state, and local government with
proven ability to integrate into all teams. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and active member
in the Delta Mu Delta international honor society in business.
As an experienced voter, I believe the Council-Manager system of local government provides the greatest benefit to
Town residents with the combined experience of council members partnered with a professionally trained manager.
As a two-term member of the Towns board of adjustment, I was fortunate to participate in revisions to the boards
policies and objectives with the assistance of Mr. Cassidy, Ms. Byler, and several development services managers.
With approximately 20-years’ experience in State and local government I’ve had the opportunity to review
agreements, budgets, forecasts, contracts, plans, plats, and zoning issues.
As a finance analyst my primary mission is the development of annual budgets and monthly forecast reports for
County Public Works Administration (Carmine DeBonis), Office of the Medical Examiner (Dr. Greg Hess), and Justice
Court Green Valley (Honorable Raymond Carroll) through professional data analysis.

As a former County DOT employee assigned to the unincorporated sections of Pima County in the Avra Valley and
Marana quadrants, I understand that there is more to Marana than the area where I reside. I believe in making
informed decisions that benefit all Town residents even if that decision isn’t the best for me personally.

March 31, 2018 Honorable Mayor Honea 11555 W Civic Center Drive Marana Arizona 85653
Dear Mayor Honea: I respectfully request your consideration of my qualifications for the council member vacancy due to unfortunate loss of council member McGorray. Ms. McGorray was influential in my tenure with the Town of Marana Board of Adjustment and as a 20-year Dove Mountain resident I would be honored if you and the council would consider allowing me to carry on her legacy of community first. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a GPA of 3.83 and core program GPA of 3.87 awarded December 2015 and Delta Mu Delta International Honor Society in Business. I bring over 30 years of managerial and supervisory experience from the private sector, State, and local government with proven ability to integrate into all teams. I know that I will be an excellent fit with the Town of Marana Council.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Hochard

Occupation Landscape architect and small business owner
Employer JStudio LA, LLC (previously with The Planning Center)
What is your vision for the Town?My vision for the Town of Marana is a Town that continues to grow economically while drawing
upon the history, culture, and resources of this area. This vision includes a complementary
relationship between Marana businesses, Town government/staff, Marana citizens, and the
Marana community as a whole.
What are some of the most
important concerns or issues
that you think the Town will have
to face in the next 5 - 10 years?
There will be many concerns facing Marana in the next 5-10 years that can be predicted with
relative assurance and there may be challenges that catch everyone by surprise. Of the
numerous challenges likely forthcoming, I believe the following are top priorities:
--Setting up systems and an environment to continued and sustain economic growth to Marana
and to the region as a whole
--Fostering Community Cohesion; more specifically addressing the perceived community division
of the various regions of the Town
--Maintaining and balancing the objectives of the Strategic Plan
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 113 of 196
What do you see as the Town's
best asset to bring visitors and
new residents to the Town?
Quality of life and affordability - The Town’s master planned communities and the Town resources
provide a wonderful quality of life for families and individuals moving to the region (shopping,
recreation, good circulation, and civic amenities). In addition, the affordability of home ownership
in Marana versus other competing communities in the region will continued to drive new residents
to the Town. Interest in multi-family and rentals is growing nationwide and southern Arizona is no
exception. Marana should plan accordingly for this shift desire for rental vs home ownership in
the coming years.
Please explain your professional
background
I am a landscape architect with over 20 years experience in the development industry. I have
worked as the lead designer and landscape architect on numerous public and private projects
throughout southern Arizona including within the Town of Marana.
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
I have made presentation before the mayor and council related to past projects and work. I have
addressed concerns and comments of various boards and commissions through changes to site
design and other mitigation options on numerous projects over the past 20 years.
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
I find that is it best to rely on facts and data when making any decisions, including unpopular
ones. An example that comes to mind took place during the latest economic downturn. My
employer was losing money and we needed to cut costs drastically as no one knew when
revenue would pick up. Some of the management team, of which I was a member, suggested
cutting everyone across the board to 30hrs/week but maintaining benefits and making additional
decisions/cuts down the road if necessary. I made the suggestion that a uniform cut in hours
while keeping the same amount of staff was a short-term solution to what would likely be a multi
year problem (The Great Recession). I made the argument that our company needed to cut
hours and lay off a number of people at once, rather than drag it out. In the end, we cut our staff
by nearly 50% and there was reduction in hours for everyone else. The employees that remained
were informed of the reasons behind the decision and they understood that there would be no
more cuts. Employees still with the company earned a sense of confidence that we could make it
through that challenge together. And we did.
If appointed by the Council you
will be representing all of the
Town of Marana in your decisions.
Describe how you will maintain
your objectivity in making
decisions for locations other than
your own residence.
It is not always easy, but I try to keep the goal of “the greatest good for the greatest amount of
people” as yardstick by which to work and make decisions in life. Any decision I would make as a
member of the planning commission (if so appointed) would follow that same motto. Change can
be contentious and emotional for most people. It is important to understand and recognize that
and to allow people to express their valid concerns.

1 Year
What is your vision for the Town
of Marana?
If appointed I would follow the strategic plan adopted for the Town of Marana which identifies five
focus areas with goals to achieve that vision. Commerce, Community, Innovation, Heritage and
Recreation. I would maintain the working relationship with key stakeholders as well as fellow
council members to foster an open atmosphere that embraces change, creativity, innovation,
and calculated risk. I would support the Town staff to execute on the goals set for the Town by
the council as well as the strategic plan. Just as important is the General Plan for the Town of
Marana and that to would be a framework for decisions that I would potentially make if appointed
to council. It is a living document that has been established and ratified by the voters of Marana
and as such would guide where the community is headed.
Have you attended or
participated in Marana’s Town
Council meetings in the past
year? (If yes, please describe in
what capacity)
I have not attended any recent Marana Town Council meetings, however during my tenure as a
council member for the Town of Oro Valley I was able to interact with current members of the
Marana town council through joint meetings, conferences, training and one one interactions.
Describe your professional
background
I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry as a Global Trial Optimization Specialist assigned
to Merck and Company. I have worked in this industry for over 24 years holding various
increasing positions of responsibility. I have lived in the Tucson, AZ area since 2004 prior to this I
was in the Greater Philadelphia area since childhood. I have served in various volunteer capacities
while living and working in the communities that I live. I am currently serving as an appointed
liaison to the Pima County Wastewater Commission as well as previously serving as an elected
official for the Town of Oro Valley for a total of eight years.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 127 of 196
Describe your experience or
familiarity with a council-
manager form of government.
While serving as an elected official (Council member) for the Town of Oro Valley for a total of
eight years I was exposed to the council-manager form of government. During my tenure as a
council member I was able to work with a variety of council members as well as a total of three
different town managers. Through my experiences I have adapted to and very well versed in this
style of governing.
Describe your experience (if
applicable) working with or
sitting on a legislative, policy,
and/or a quasi-judicial body. If no
experience, please enter "N/A".
Serving as an elected council member for the Town of Oro Valley from June 2008 to November
2016 I was able to learn through training and experience what it takes to be a member of an
elected body serving at the pleasure of the citizen's who we represent. I was exposed to the
following training's and conferences while serving for the Town of Oro Valley: newly elected
officials training, open meeting law, incident command system overview for executives and
senior officials 402, ethics training, League of Arizona Cities and Towns conferences. I was a
liaison to the Finance and Bond committee as well as the Storm Water committee.
In the course of its normal
business the Town Council
reviews and approves contracts,
development agreements,
intergovernmental agreements,
general and specific plans,
budgets, subdivision plats, and
zoning. Please describe your
familiarity and experience (if
applicable) in dealing with the
above responsibilities. If no
experience, please enter "N/A".
In my current position as a Global Trial Optimization Specialist I am reviewing budgets, vendor
contracts, financial agreements and grants. While serving eight years as a council member for
the Town of Oro Valley I was involved in reviewing contracts, inter governmental agreements,
budgets, zoning requests, general plan development, general plan amendments, development
plats as well as interacting with zoning staff members/engineers on site maps and drawings.
Describe your experience (if
applicable) reviewing and
approving budgets and financial
documents. If no experience,
please enter "N/A".
During my time serving on the Oro Valley Town Council I was involved in the following financial
and budget activities: budget study sessions, citizen budget input meetings, Town staff budget
defense meetings, financial forecasting, CIP Planning, MUNIS budget reporting software,
adoption of final town budget and quarterly budget review.
If appointed to the Council, you
will represent all of the Town of
Marana in your decisions.
Describe your familiarity with the
different areas of the Town of
Marana. How can the citizens of
Marana be assured that you will
knowledgeably and objectively
make decisions for all areas of
the Town?
Having previously served in the capacity of an elected official I am very aware being inclusive of
all stakeholders in a community. The Town of Marana is made up of a diverse population of
approximately 35, 000 residents (2010 Census) who make up a little over 120 square miles. The
town has a rich history of farming and ranching which continues to this day. As the town has
grown so to has it's diversity of business and retail offerings. Due to the close proximity to
Interstate 10 the town has a great ability to attract large retailers as well as industries. The recent
outlet mall as well as aerospace companies continues to foster the town's financial health.
Speaking of health the town has also positioned itself to provide the residents not only a large
health clinic (MHC) but also a free standing emergency room near Interstate 10. If appointed to
Council I will fairly represent both the citizen's of the town as well as the various stakeholders
who wish to do business with the community. I am familiar with an evidence based approach to
decision making and will listen to all sides prior to making any final decision or vote. The Town of
Marana continues to grow and prosper with a very stable financial footing and as an appointed
council member I would not want to harm this relationship moving forward.

Re: Town of Marana, Town Council Member Appointment
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express my interest in the Town council member appointment with the Town of
Marana. As my résumé indicates, I have a Master’s Degree in Public Safety as well as a Master’s
Degree in Quality Control and Regulatory Affairs, and over 24 years of demonstrated leadership
experience in successfully guiding both municipal and private sector organizations. With a diverse
exposure to all aspects of providing leadership to a full-service municipality in a community
undergoing growth and development. In addition, I have a demonstrated record of accomplishment
in the development and maintenance of a strong customer service focus in the delivery of services.
While my 8 years as a council member have proven my strong financial and technical competence, I
have also developed the ability to be creative, articulate, and focused on implementing the policies
and vision of my peers and the public. I am comfortable working in a diverse, highly educated and
involved community. Throughout my professional career, my duties have included regular public
contact with officials of other governmental entities, residents, and business owners in large and
small group settings.
I have a reputation for a willingness to appropriately confront issues and make tough
recommendations and decisions. My colleagues describe me flexible and adaptable, with high
personal energy, a positive approach, self-confidence, a sense of humor, responsive to the needs of
the entire organization, and able to manage tactical and strategic issues simultaneously. I value my
reputation for personal and professional integrity of the highest order, demonstrated in both my
public and private life. I thrive in a fast-paced, high-demand, and collegial environment. At the same
time, I maintain a well-balanced work/personal life.
I devote whatever time is necessary to achieve the goals and guidelines established by the
expectations of my immediate supervisors as well as the constituents for which I served. I genuinely
thank you for your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to meet with you in person.
Sincerely,

Meeting Date:05/15/2018
To:Mayor and Council
From:Erik Montague, Deputy Town Manager
Date:May 15, 2018
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Commerce, Community, Heritage, Recreation, Progress & Innovation
Strategic Plan Focus Area Additional Info:
Marana's strategic plan identifies financial sustainability as an overriding principle of
Marana's strategic framework.
Subject:PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution No. 2018-046: Relating to Budget; adopting the
fiscal year 2018-2019 tentative budget (Erik Montague)
Discussion:
In conformance with State law, the tentative budget must be adopted prior to the third
Monday in July. The adoption of the tentative budget will set the maximum limit of
expenditures (alternative expenditure limitation) for fiscal year 2018-2019. The total
budget may be reduced prior to final adoption, but it cannot be increased. Additionally,
Mayor and Council may reallocate funding among departments and/or programs.
In coordination with Mayor and Council, staff has prepared a tentative budget of
$141,670,280 for fiscal year 2018-2019. This budget reflects the careful allocation of the
Town’s resources to Mayor and Council’s goals. Additionally, this budget continues to
make significant investments in current employees, resources and tools, and strategic
positions. Council concurrence with the investment plan at its study session in January
2018 formed the baseline for decisions made in preparing the tentative budget for fiscal
year 2018-2019.
The budget has been structurally balanced with ongoing revenues used to fund ongoing
expenditures. Total revenues anticipated for fiscal year 2018-2019 are $96,401,808. Fund
balances will be utilized for one-time expenditures, carryover requests and capital
projects.
The tentative budget reflects an addition of approximately 8.0 full time equivalent (FTE)
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 136 of 196
positions from 355.75 FTE positions in fiscal year 2017-2018 to 363.75 FTE positions
tentatively for fiscal year 2018-2019. Positions were added in key areas that were
determined to be critical to the mission of local government.
The proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) totals $56,230,914 or 40%, of the tentative
budget. A copy of the tentative five year CIP schedule is attached to this item.
The tentative budget is presented on forms prescribed by the Auditor General. The
official budget forms will be published as required for two consecutive weeks in a
newspaper of general circulation along with notices of public hearing on the final budget
and the property tax levy.
Council will then hold a public hearing on June 19, 2018 and consider final budget
adoption thereafter. The proposed tentative budget reflects the prudent allocation of
financial resources required to meet the policy direction and vision of Mayor and
Council. Accordingly, staff recommends adoption of the tentative budget for fiscal year
2018-2019 at $141,670,280.

Town of Marana
Fiscal Year 2019 Team Performance Pay Adjustment
The Fiscal Year 2019 budget includes a team performance pay adjustment. Team performance pay is based on
performance and behavior that is aligned with the Town’s strategic plan, policies, directives and cultural values
(dedicated service, respect, teamwork and engaged innovation). This adjustment takes into consideration the
Town’s pay philosophy to maintain a competitive position in the market and to recognize and reward employees
who push the organization toward excellence.
The Fiscal Year 2019 budget contains funding to grant eligible employees a team performance pay adjustment of
up to 3.5% of base salary or, for those at the top of their pay range, a lump sum payment of up to 3.5% of base
salary for those who exemplify our cultural values. This action will contribute towards accomplishing the Town’s
strategic goal for attracting and retaining quality professional staff who exemplify the commitment to service.
Eligibility
1. Regular full- and part-time classified, sworn, and unclassified employees hired on or before July 1, 2017 and
not at the top of their pay range are eligible to receive the team performance pay adjustment if not
otherwise disqualified by the criteria set forth below.
2. Regular full- and part-time classified, sworn, and unclassified employees hired on or after July 2, 2017, but
before January 1, 2018, and not at the top of their pay range are eligible to receive a pro-rated team
performance pay adjustment if not otherwise disqualified by the criteria set forth below.
3. Regular full- and part-time classified, sworn, and unclassified employees who are at the top of their pay
range are eligible to receive a lump sum payment for team performance if not otherwise disqualified by the
criteria set forth below.
4. Regular full- and part-time classified, sworn, and unclassified employees who have received 1 corrective
action memo, written reprimand, or Work Improvement Plan (WIP) during Fiscal Year 2018 are eligible to
receive 2% less in team performance pay, or lump sum payment than they would have received otherwise
based on the criteria herein.
5. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2018 are not eligible to receive this team performance pay
adjustment.
6. Employees who have been on leave status for more than 6 months, suspended, involuntarily demoted, or
have received more than 1 corrective action memo or written reprimand are not eligible to receive this
team performance pay adjustment. Also employees receiving a combination of a Work Improvement Plan
(WIP) and a corrective action memo or written reprimand during Fiscal Year 2018 are not eligible to receive
this team performance pay adjustment. However, a department head has the option to seek approval from
the Town Manager for a 6 month delayed pay adjustment regarding the withheld adjustment if no further
written reprimands or actions identified in this section are issued to the employee during that 6 month
period.

7. Employees (i.e. Lifeguards, Sports Officials, Interns, etc.) paid from the salary schedule for temporary
positions, term-limited temporary (TLT), and short-term temporary (STT) employees are not eligible to
receive this team performance pay adjustment.
8. Contract employees’ (Town Manager and Town Magistrate) eligibility shall be determined by the terms of
any employment agreement approved by the Council.
Implementation
1. No adjustment to base pay shall cause an employee’s salary to exceed the maximum of the grade for the
employee’s position.
2. Calculation of the increase will be based on an employee’s regular base pay rate, exclusive of other types of
compensation (i.e. special assignment pay, overtime pay, shift differential, etc.)
Pay Administration
1. Eligible employees will receive the increase or lump sum payment with the paycheck beginning July 27,
2018.
2. Compensation will be paid in accordance with the Town’s bi-weekly regular payroll cycle.

4. Compensation will be subject to pension contributions as provided by state law.

Meeting Date:05/15/2018
To:Mayor and Council
From:Erik Montague, Deputy Town Manager
Date:May 15, 2018
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Commerce, Community, Heritage, Recreation, Progress & Innovation
Strategic Plan Focus Area Additional Info:
Marana's strategic plan identifies financial sustainability as an overriding principle of
Marana's strategic framework.
Subject:Ordinance No. 2018.011: Relating to Finance; amending the Town of Marana
Comprehensive Fee Schedule; and designating an effective date (Erik
Montague)
Discussion:
The Town created a town-wide, Comprehensive Fee Schedule and standardized fees
across all departments. At the time of that ordinance's adoption, it was determined that
an annual review of the Comprehensive Fee Schedule should occur to ensure that the
Town was continuing to cover its costs, where appropriate, and that it was charging fair
and equitable fees to its customers.
Staff conducted this year's review of the Comprehensive Fee Schedule with the
following goals in mind:
Ensure that fees reflect the actual cost of providing programs and services to
customers, where appropriate.
1.
Identify opportunities to streamline, consolidate and modernize the application and
use our fees to encourage/facilitate development.
2.
Eliminate errors, inconsistencies and unused items within the existing
comprehensive fee schedule.
3.
Staff presented the proposed changes to Council at the February 20, 2018 meeting.
Information received that evening was incorporated into the list of proposed
changes. Notification letters of possible fee schedule changes were sent to the Southern
Arizona Home Builders Association (SAHBA) and the Metropolitan Pima Alliance
Marana Regular Council Meeting 05/15/2018 Page 179 of 196
(MPA) to provide them the opportunity to review the proposed changes to the
Comprehensive Fee Schedule and clarify any issues or areas of concern. We did not
receive any significant comments.
Pursuant to A.R.S Section 9-499.15, the Town did post notice of possible changes to the
Comprehensive Fee Schedule, as required. This statute requires that the Town provide
notice on its website of any new or increased fees for businesses at least 60 days before
the meeting is scheduled to consider approving the new fees and/or fee increases.
If approved, the changes to the comprehensive fee schedule will be effective on July 2,
2018.

Submitted For:John Kmiec, Utilities Director
From:Rachel Whitaker, Grants Manager
Date:May 15, 2018
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Community
Subject:Resolution No. 2018-047: Relating to Utilities; authorizing acquisition of
the Adonis Mobile Home Park wastewater conveyance system and
authorizing the application for a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan
from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (John
Kmiec)
Discussion:
The Adonis neighborhood owns and operates a private sewer collection system that
delivers the sewage to two treatment lagoons located on property owned by a third
party. This system has been in operation since the 1970s. Due to the decaying
infrastructure of the treatment lagoons and the threat of an environmental hazard, the
Town has worked with the Arizona Water Infrastructure Financing Authority to identify
a solution to mitigate the current issues. The solution involves the Town taking
ownership and control of the Adonis sewage collection system and building a sewer lift
station to convey the neighborhood sewage north to the Marana municipal sewer
collection at the San Lucas neighborhood. WIFA will provide a loan to the Town to
conduct cleaning and repairs to the existing conveyance system, design and construction
of a new lift station, and payment of associated wastewater impact fees to the Town for
the neighborhood. This loan will be approximately for $1.5 million, with approximately
$750K as "forgivable principal." This resolution will authorize the Town to acquire the
Adonis neighborhood sewage collection system and build the necessary infrastructure to
connect the Adonis neighborhood to Marana municipal sewer system.
A single-page overview map of the proposed path for the Adonis neighborhood sewer
connection is included in the agenda materials.

the Adonis neighborhood sewage collection system and authorizing obtaining a WIFA
loan to bring the Adonis Mobile Home Park wastewater conveyance system to Marana
Water Department operating standards and to connect the Adonis Mobile Home Park
wastewater conveyance system to the Town’s wastewater utility system.

I move to adopt Resolution No. 2018-047, authorizing the acquisition of the Adonis
