PROCLAMATION
2019 DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK
WHEREAS, Diaper Need, the condition of not having a sufficient supply of clean di apers
to ensure that infants, toddlers, and vulnerable adults are clean, healthy and dry, can
adversely affect the health and welfare of their families; and
WHEREAS, national surveys report that one in three mothers experience diaper need
at some time while their children are less than three years of age , and forty-eight
percent of families report a delay in changing a diaper to extend their supply; and
WHEREAS, there are no government assistance programs for the purchase or provision
of diapers, and a monthly supply of diapers can cost as much as six per cent of a full-
time minimum wage worker’s salary, therefore obtaining a sufficient supply of diapers
can cause economic hardship to families; and
WHEREAS, a supply of diapers is generally an eligibility requirement for infant and
toddlers to participate in childcare programs and quality early education programs;
and
WHEREAS, the people of Marana recognize that addressing Diaper Need can lead to
economic opportunity for the state’s low -income families, and can lead to improved
health for families and their communities; and
WHEREAS, Marana is proud to be home to various community organizations that
recognize the importance of diapers in helping provide economic stability for families
and distribute diapers to poor families through various channels;
NOW, THEREFORE be it resolved, that the Mayor and Council of the Town of Marana ,
do hereby proclaim the week of September 2 3rd through September 29th, 2019 as
DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK
And encourage the citizens of Marana to donate generously to diaper banks, diaper
drives, and those organizations , like the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona and the
Marana Community Food Bank, that distribute diapers to families in need to help
alleviate diaper need in our community.
Dated this 3rd day of September, 2019.

Subject:Resolution No. 2019-080: Relating to the Police Department; approving and
authorizing the Town Manager to execute grant agreement number
GFR-AZ911-20-012 between the State of Arizona, acting through the Arizona
Department of Administration, Office of Grants and Federal Resources (GFR)
and the Town of Marana, acting as System Administrator for the Pima County
9-1-1 System, for grant funding for the Arizona 9-1-1 Grant Program;
approving a form of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the
payment of Arizona 9-1-1 Grant Program budgeted expenses for Pima County
9-1-1 System Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs); and authorizing the
Chief of Police to enter into the MOU with the other eligible Pima County 9-1-1
System PSAPs (Jane Fairall)
Discussion:
The Emergency Telecommunication Service Revolving Fund (the “9-1-1 Revolving
Fund”) was established pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-704 and is funded through the
telecommunication service excise tax established by A.R.S. § 42-5252 and the prepaid
wireless telecommunications E911 excise tax established by A.R.S. § 42-5402. To qualify
for funding from the 9-1-1 Revolving Fund, the public or private safety agencies in a
specific geographic area to be served must establish a 9-1-1 planning committee to
develop and submit a service plan; as a part of the service plan, a planning committee
chairperson (also known as the 9-1-1 System Administrator) must be named to provide
all required administrative functions for the 9-1-1 planning committee.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 26 of 143
Several public and private safety agencies in Pima County have established a 9-1-1
planning committee (the “Pima County 9-1-1 Committee” or “Pima 9-1-1”). The
following agencies comprise the Pima 9-1-1: Marana Police Department, Oro Valley
Police Department, Pima County Sheriff's Department, Tucson Police Department, Rural
Metro, University of Arizona Police Department, and Valley Emergency
Communications Center (serving the Drexel Heights and Green Valley Fire Districts, as
well as fire and medical emergency calls for Arivaca, Corona de Tucson, Rincon Valley,
and the Tohono O`odham - San Xavier District). The current Pima 9-1-1 System Manager
is an employee of the Town (Sheila Blevins).
The Arizona Department of Administration, Office of Grants and Federal Resources
(GFR) has requested that the Town of Marana, acting as the Pima 9-1-1 System
Administrator, enter into the attached Grant Agreement to receive funds under the
Arizona 9-1-1 Grant Program. Pursuant to the agreement, the Town will receive invoices
from the vendors, such as Century Link and Sprint, who provide telecommunication
services to 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) in Pima County, and submit
those invoices to GFR. GFR will review and, if the expenses in question are eligible
budgeted grant expenses, GFR will submit payment to the Town. The Town will pay
Pima 9-1-1 vendors directly.
One of the requirements of the Grant Agreement is that the Town, as System
Administrator, must enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each of
the Pima 9-1-1 PSAPs and submit a copy of each MOU to GFR. The purpose of the MOU
is to set forth the responsibilities of each party with regard to payment of 9-1-1 system
expenses. Attached is a proposed MOU template drafted by the Town's Legal
Department for this purpose. If the Council approves this form of MOU and authorizes
the Chief of Police to execute it on the Town's behalf, the Town will then provide the
MOU to each of the Pima 9-1-1 PSAPs for execution. The terms of the MOU provide that
the Town will submit the PSAP's 9-1-1 invoices to the state and pay them pursuant to the
terms of the state Grant Agreement, as long as the state approves them. If the state does
not approve the PSAP's expenses, the PSAP, and not the Town, will be responsible for
payment of its own 9-1-1-related expenses. The initial term of the MOU is 2 years, with
the possibility of renewals. The MOU will terminate automatically if the Town's
employee ceases to serve in the capacity of the Pima 9-1-1 System Administrator.
Financial Impact:
The costs associated with the Pima 9-1-1 System are paid by the State of Arizona through
the emergency telecommunication services revolving fund established by A.R.S. section
41-704. The Town, serving in the capacity of the Pima 9-1-1 System Administrator, acts
as a pass-through for the funds, paying the vendors directly. The state has allocated
$2,769,233 for the Pima 9-1-1 System for FY 2020. Any expenses of an individual PSAP
that are not covered by the grant funds are the responsibility of the PSAP incurring them
and are not the Town's responsibility.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the grant agreement and the MOU template, and
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 27 of 143
Staff recommends approval of the grant agreement and the MOU template, and
recommends that the Chief of Police be authorized to enter into the MOU with PSAPs in
the Pima 9-1-1 System.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2019-080, approving and authorizing the Town Manager
to execute grant agreement number GFR-AZ911-20-012 between the State of Arizona,
acting through the Arizona Department of Administration, Office of Grants and Federal
Resources (GFR) and the Town of Marana, acting as System Administrator for the Pima
County 9-1-1 System, for grant funding for the Arizona 9-1-1 Grant Program; approving
a form of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the payment of Arizona
9-1-1 Grant Program budgeted expenses for Pima County 9-1-1 System Public Safety
Answering Points (PSAPs); and authorizing the Chief of Police to enter into the MOU
with the other eligible Pima County 9-1-1 System PSAPs.

Initiative 11. Expand Marana’s tourism efforts by creating a tourism master plan.

Subject:Resolution No. 2019-081: Relating to Economic development; approving
the amended Destination Marketing & Film Office Lead Generation
Program and authorizing the Town Manager to administer it (Laura
Cortelyou)
Discussion:
In May 2015, the Town Council approved the Lead Generation/Destination Marketing
Program. The program, administered by the Economic Development & Tourism
Department, seeks to heighten awareness of the Town of Marana as a visitor and
meeting destination, increasing Marana bed and other transaction privilege (sales) taxes
and building awareness, familiarity and relationships in commercial, institutional and
individual networks that attract economic development and investment.
The program accomplishes this by authorizing the expenditure of budgeted tourism
dollars on items and events such as:
Participation in Buyer Education and Familiarization (FAM) Trips hosted by
Marana tourism-related businesses and organizations, including purchase of airline
tickets, accommodations, and food for attendees
Participation in tradeshows and customer events expected to generate interest and
business for Marana tourism-related businesses and organizations
Purchase of lists that provide contact information for meeting planners, travel
agents, media representatives, and travel bloggers
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 46 of 143
The proposed amended Destination Marketing & Film Office Lead Generation Program
will expand the program to authorize expenditures by the Marana Film Office
to promote the Town as a filming destination and increase film tourism, such as
participation in or initiation of tours and scouting trips for filmmakers, including
purchase of airline tickets, accommodations, and food for attendees. The Marana Film
Office heightens awareness of the Town of Marana as a filming location for both large
and small scale productions. Film production in Marana creates jobs in the local
economy and increases bed and sales tax revenue in the community. Additionally,
studies support the proposition that destination placement in films and television
enhances destination image and increases tourism.
Businesses wishing to participate in the program must submit a written proposal to the
Town describing the activity for which funding is sought and the expected benefit or
enhancement to the Town's economy from the activity. The businesses must also submit
a written report detailing the outcomes of the funded event or activity after the fact.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2020
Budgeted Y/N:Y
Amount:$30,000
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the amended Destination Marketing & Film Office Lead
Generation Program.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2019-081, approving the amended Destination
Marketing & Film Office Lead Generation Program and authorizing the Town Manager
to administer it.

Subject:Resolution No. 2019-082: Relating to Parks and Recreation; approving
and authorizing the Parks and Recreation Director to execute the Second
Amendment to Facility Usage Agreement between the Town of Marana
and Leman Academy of Excellence, Inc. (Jim Conroy)
Discussion:
The Town of Marana Parks and Recreation department and the Leman Academy of
Excellence, Inc. wish to continue the facility use agreement that permits common use of
respective facilities at Crossroads at Silverbell District Park and Leman Academy to
minimize expenses to citizens, improve service delivery, and provide enhanced
resources to the community. The Town of Marana's 2016 Parks, Recreation, Trails and
Open Space 5 Year Master Plan Update recommends the department seek partnerships
to coordinate a diverse offering of programs and services throughout the community.
The plan also suggests that as Marana grows in population, program offering should
also expand as feasible and be created to service all sectors of the population.
Additionally, the plan suggests the Town explore opportunities for joint facility uses,
collaborative programming, and shared financing between internal and external
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 52 of 143
partners. Through this partnership, Marana Parks and Recreation is able to expand its
adult and youth fitness, sports, and wellness offerings.
The facility use agreement permits Leman Academy use of the softball field, soccer /
multiuse fields, and basketball courts at Crossroads Park, during non-peak hours only,
defined as Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., for Leman Academy
curricular and extracurricular activities at no cost to Leman. In return, Leman will
permit the Town to use the Leman Academy gymnasium, cafeteria, and designated
outdoor facilities for Town recreational programming, community meetings, and similar
governmental uses at no cost to the Town.
The Second Amendment extends the term of the agreement for one year, from June 1,
2019 through May 31, 2020.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the second amendment to the facility usage agreement.

Subject:Resolution No. 2019-083: Relating to Claims and Settlement; approving
and authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Settlement Agreement
between the Town of Marana and HDR Engineering, Inc. related
to design services for the Marana Water reclamation constructed
recharge facility (Scott Schladweiler)
Discussion:
Effective August 18, 2014, the Town and HDR Engineering entered into a Professional
Services Agreement for the purpose of providing design services to the Town for the
Marana Water reclamation constructed recharge facility for effluent, Project No. WT025.
Once the recharge facility was placed in operation, the parties realized that the ability to
divert partial flow of treated effluent into the effluent storage pond and from the
diversion structure into the pools at the recharge facility, as originally intended by the
design, was not able to occur without using a pump and manually operating valves to
divert flow. HDR's design effort to correct the design was not charged to the Town, but
additional costs were incurred by the construction contractor for additional work
required to correct the issue that was not included in the original contract.
Under the proposed settlement agreement, HDR will pay the Town the full cost of the
construction change order, less the cost of materials the Town would have paid had the
changes been part of the original design, for an amount of $16,028.50. In
exchange, the Town agrees to release any claims related to flow diversion required
downstream of the UV channel and at the diversion structure.
Pursuant to Marana Town Code section 3-5-2 (B) whenever any contemplated settlement
of a claim by or against the Town is for more than $15,000, approval of Council is
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 58 of 143
of a claim by or against the Town is for more than $15,000, approval of Council is

Subject:Ordinance No. 2019.019: Relating to Development; revising Marana Standard
Detail 740-1 for wayfinding signs and establishing an effective date (Keith
Brann)
Resolution No. 2019-085: Relating to Development; declaring as a public record
filed with the Town Clerk the amendments adopted by Ordinance
No. 2019.019, revising Marana Standard Detail 740-1 for wayfinding signs
(Keith Brann)
Discussion:
Town staff has been working with the Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association and
various developer stakeholders regarding signage. One aspect of this collaboration has
been to update the Town's wayfinding program, first implemented under Resolution
2010-86.
An updated wayfinding sign rendering was presented to council in February of 2019.
This updated standard detail 740-1 will modify the construction details of the
wayfinding sign accordingly. The construction detail has been developed with input
from the Sign contractor who services the Town's wayfinding program and the costs of
the new sign are comparable to the current sign. No change is needed in the Town's fee
schedule related to wayfinding signs.
This council action will bring the updated wayfinding sign detail into the Town's
standard detailed manual.
Staff Recommendation:
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 74 of 143
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2019.019, revising standard detail 740-1
for wayfinding signs, and Resolution No. 2019-085, declaring the revision as a public

D2 Relating to Parks and Recreation; presentation and discussion regarding the
comprehensive 10-Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2020 – 2030 update process.
Presented by Parks and Recreation Director Jim Conroy.
Mr. Conroy stated the Town’s current master plan was originally adopted in 2010, and
then updated in 2016. The new proposed master plan update would address the Town’s
future needs based on expected growth over the next ten years . The new master plan
would better align the parks facilities and activities to meet user demand, while also
providing a high level of service. Mr. Conroy highlighted some of the unique recreation
offerings and the importance of such programs in the years to come.
To better illustrate the need for the updated master plan, Mr. Conroy noted the Town’s
expected growth within the next ten years would reach an estimated 65,000 residents.
He also highlighted citizens’ participation in recreation programs have increased over
30 percent between 2015 and 2019. Mr. Conroy noted that the total number of physical
park areas has also increased significantly since 2000 to 2019, and staff estimates the
need for additional acreage of park space to meet the anticipated level of residents.
Mr. Conroy introduced the master plan consultant Don McGann. Mr. McGann briefly
identified the various consultants that would assist with the development of the new
updated master plan. He summarized the project management planning process as an
active coordination between Town departments and citizen stakeholder groups. Mr.
McGann stated that the principal partner is Ballard -King, which is a firm with
substantial experience in Arizona parks planning.
Mr. McGann explained that the team’s first priority is effective public engagement that
actively seeks public input, engages a board range of residents, and provides public
forums for input. He also noted the objective to conduct statistically valid surveys that
reflect the expectations and needs of the community. Mr. McGann stated that based on
the research and feedback received , the team would prepare a draft plan for council and
public feedback. The team would then refine the plan to reflect those suggestions before
final adoption by the Mayor and Council.
Mr. McGann transitioned describing the project scope. He highlighted the plan’s intent
to incorporate parks, open space and natural resource areas, special use facilities, and
recreation programs as equally important elements that complement each other and
provide enjoyment for residents. He touched on the project timeline indicating a total
time for completion as 10 to 12 months. The initial research stage is scheduled to start in
Fall 2019 and final adoption of the plan is scheduled for Summer 2020.
Council Member Ziegler commented that the proposed master plan update looks
good. She hopes that the master plan would reflect the needs of the community and she
would like to see the construction of a recreation center.
Mayor Honea asked if the master plan would address not o nly the type of facility
spaces needed, but would also address the ongoing costs of maintaining and staffing
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 81 of 143

such facilities. Mr. McGann responded that the plan would address facility staffing,
operations, and maintenances associated with the properties.
No formal Council action was taken.
D3 Resolution No. 2019 -079: Relating to Development; approving a final plat for
Tangerine Ridge, Lots 151-153, a re-plat of Lots 151-153 of the Original Tangerine Ridge
Plat, located on North Raphael Way south of West Bellini Way . Presented by Senior
Planner Steven E. Vasquez.
Mr. Vasquez stated the final plat was originally approved in 2015. However, Pulte
Homes is requesting a lot line adjustment for three lots to correct a minor field survey
error, which created a setback issue. He indicated that the revised plat is in
conformance with the town’s development regulations.
Vice Mayor Post motioned to approve Resolution No. 2019 -079, with a second motion
provided by Council Member Bowen. The motion passed 7 -0, unanimously.
D4 Relating to Utilities; Update, discussion and possible direction regarding
proposed changes to irrigation/bulk water and hydrant water rates. Presented by
Interim Water Director Scott Schladweiler.
Mr. Schladweiler stated the presentation tonight was a follow-up to the June 18, 2019
Council Meeting discussing the preliminary findings of rates and fees for water and
water reclamation. He noted that overview of the fees were presented at that prior
meeting showed a cost of service approach where each customer class is paying for its
proportionate share of operational expenses to maintain the system .
Following-up on the Council’s June 18, 2019 request for additional information
regarding the increased fee to standpipe customers, Mr. Schladweiler presented a
revised graph comparing the existing rate to the proposed volumetric rates. He stated
that although the department has about 200 accounts, there are only about 50 active
customers using the standpipe. Mr. Schladweiler noted that since the system sees
smaller volumes used on a consistent basis, the department was able to revise the
operating costs bringing it to approximately $14,300 per year. He noted that the
standpipe, hydrant, and irrigation class types are all used for construction/industry
services and he recommended a combined rate that would cover the operating costs of
the standpipes, hydrants, and irrigation meters.
Vice Mayor Post asked what the other jurisdictions charged for similar items. Mr.
Schladweiler responded that he did not know that information but would do some
research. Vice Mayor Post asked if the proposed rates were subject to the groundwater
resource charge. Mr. Schladweiler confirmed they were.
Mayor Honea thanked Mr. Schladweiler for averaging those fees together to create a
more leveled fee .

Steven Cheslak, Principal Planner providing an overview of this item stating, this
presentation is on the Parking Code and the updates. Staff is currently working on the
Land Development Code as this is a part of that Code. He provided the following
timeline for the new Parking Code adoption as provided below:
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 88 of 143
August 6, 2019 Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 6
• Timeline for the new Parking Code adoption
o July 25 , 2018: Planning Commission Study Session
o September 11, 2018: Town Council Study Session
o 2018-2019: Public and stakeholder feedback
o May 29, 2019: Planning Commission Public Hearing
o August 6, 2019: Town Cou ncil Public Hearing for Code adoption
The Town did re ceive positive feedback on the amendments to the Code, and all felt
that this was a move in the right direction. Mr. Cheslak explained the amendments
stating the Code was adopted in 1995 as many change s over time have occurred.
Different sections of the Code has been updated. He provided the below overview
(PowerPoint Presentation is available on the Town’s website and in the Town Clerk’s Office).
Removal of duplicated regulation and requirements
Newer, Revised Code Regulation Exists
• Found in Development Engineering sections
o Points of Access (number and location)
o Traffic Control (street connections)
o Surfacing (type of paving)
o Drainage (grading)
o Curbing (location and dimension)
• Found in Planning sections
o Landscaping (percentage)
o Residential Parking (setbacks and size)
New Parking Lot Design Additions
• Compact Car Allowance
o Up to 30% of total parking spaces
• Greater than 100 parking spaces
o Parking lot division required
▪ Landscaped swale
▪ Landscaped pedestrian path (10’ wide)
▪ Primary or accessory building placement
• Greater than 400 parking spaces
o Must incorporate stormwater management techniques
▪ Landscape areas may be credited against larger on-site
detention/retention basins
• Bicycle Parking
o Criteria for location and design
Mr. Cheslak continued stating when the Town reviewed the parking lot requirements
in the 1990s’, at that time it was ratio -based use. For example, if you had a business
office you had one space for every 300 s q. ft. space used. From that time until today,
much has changed. One of the biggest changes has been Amazon as it has changed the
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 89 of 143
August 6, 2019 Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 7
way in which the public shops. This change in retail shopping has changed the
functionality of parking lots; that is, providing for online pickup and delivery of items.
The Town is now proposing a Parking Justification Analysis, whereby the
owner/operator informs the Town of its need for parking spaces. It allows for the
owner to create the parking spaces that it needs for its b usiness operation; they will tell
us what the demand is for parking , what space they will use, where the data came from
to support the request, the hours of operation, is parking being shared with others,
where is the parking located, and any impacts to the neighborhood. Staff tried to cover
many areas within the proposed Parking Code Update. Mr. Cheslak explained the
requirements of the Parking Justification Analysis, stating staff can approve or reject the
plan with a written statement. Once the owner/operator has received a response, they
can revise their plan or appeal it to the Board of Adjustment. The Town is offering
businesses with an opportunity to define its requirements for parking for its customers
in a flexible manner.
Mr. Cheslak stated staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance No. 2019 .018 along
with the accompanying Resolution No. 2019 -076 declaring as a public record filed with
the Town Clerk new Chapter 17-9 (Parking) of Title 17 (Land Development) of the
Marana Town Code.
Vice Mayor Post asked whether staff looks at parking requirements whenever a
business obtains an occupancy permit—referring to a new or reestablished business
owner up-starting a business when the business is new from the former existing
business. Mr. Cheslak stated the Town currently practices this process. There may be
some problems initially in certain areas such as a dirt area used for overflow, the Town
will not issue a building permit as the business will need to address those issues. The
Town cannot say ‘no’ to a use. He continued with providing examples of parking
requirements for different types of businesses.
Council Member Bowen stated the requirement of a Parking Justification Analysis
appears to be a form of a study that may prove to be an additional e xpense to the
business owner. Mr. Cheslak responded stating it depends upon the magnitude of the
size of the business whereby the Town can request a traffic study be provided. The
Town can ask for what is needed along the way. For example, if it is a sm all business,
the owner can submit notes written on its plan indicating the hours of operations and
the number of parking spaces. This could be a brief narrative from the owner or its
engineers. Council Member Bowen stated in reality the submission can be short in
description. Mr. Cheslak confirmed stating the traffic study may likely be required for
those large organizations that setup a business within the community that may likely
impact the flow of traffic.

Council Member Kai asked whether the proposed update has any stipulations for
overnight parking. Mr. Cheslak responded stating typically those are in the Code as a
violation or Code Enforcement related activity.
Council Member Ziegler stated she is in favor of the parking lot justification ideology
of analysis is based upon the needs of the business, and not the Town informing owners
of what they should have. She commended staff for this change in the Code.
A2 Resolution No. 2019-077: Relating to Utilities; adopting a notice of intention to
increase water and wastewater rates, rate components, fees, and service charges over a
multi-year (2020-2024) period; and setting an October 15, 2019 public hearing on the
proposed increases (Sco tt Schladweiler)
Council Member Kai moved and Vice Mayor Post seconded the motion adopting a
notice of intention to increase water and wastewater rates and fees, over a multiple -
year period, and setting a public hearing for October 15, 2019. Motion passes,
unanimously: 7-0.
Scott Schladweiler, Interim Water Director provided a brief overview on this item
stating the Town of Marana engaged Raftelis to provide consulting services to conduct
a rate analysis for Town water and wastewater rates and fees to assure they are m eeting
cost of service needs for the upcoming five years of water and wastewater operations.
On June 18, 2019, Raftelis and Town staff presented the preliminary findings to Mayor
Honea and Council.
The main objective of the rate study securing water resources for our current and future
customers, funding systems improvements and preventative maintenance plans,
developing and funding a reserve policy, ensuring timely payment of debt obligations,
as well as a rate schedule that provides revenue stability and promotes conservation.
One of the other items addre ssed was an outreach plan. Staff have been diligently
working on an outreach plan, and have two tentative dates for public meeting s,
September 12 in north Marana and September 26 in south Marana. At this time, those
dates are tentative. They are also lo oking into doing social media posts —they are
developing a website that will have an overview of rate study requirements and other
general information for customers. Staff will also participate in community
conversations.
Based on this rate analysis, Town staff is proposing a five -year rate plan. The first
increase would go into effect on January 1, 2020, should the rate plan be approved, and
would adjust annually in January until 2024. Arizona law (A.R.S. §9 -511.01) requires
the Town Council to adopt a notice of intention to increase water and wastewater rates
and fees, and set a date for the public hearing on the proposed increases at least 60 days
after the notice of intention is adopted. Staff is recommending approving Resolution
No. 2019-077 adopting a notice of intention to increase water and wastewater rates, rate

components, fees, and service charges over a multi -year (2020-2024) period; and setting
an October 15, 2019 public hearing on the proposed increases.
A3 Resolution No. 2019-078: Relating to Real Estate; vacating a portion of the public
right-of-way of Tangerine Road east of “Breakers Road” fronting the property owned
by Premier RV Storage, LLC (Frank Cassidy)
Vice Mayor Post moved and Council Member Ziegler second the motion adopting
Resolution No. 2019-078, vacating a portion of the public right-of-way of Tangerine
Road east of Breakers Road fronting the property owned by Premier RV Storage.
Motion passes, unanimously: 7-0.
Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney stated at the former P ark-N-Shade location located east
of Breakers Road off of Tangerine, now Premier RV. In 2003 Park -N-Shade dedicated
the Town 150 feet of right-of-way in front of that property in two separate deeds. If for
some reason it is not needed in the future, it w ould be abandon back to the then
property owner. Once Premier purchased the property, the Town received earlier this
year a request for abandonment of a larger strip of right-of-way. Town Engineer, Keith
Brann reviewed the area and studied it in light of the design concept report for Phase 2
of Tangerine Road. Actually, we will need a Frontage Roadway to serve the business
along the way (referring to the map).
He stated, even with having a Frontage Road, there is sufficient right-of-way to release
25 feet to them. Their parking lots are partially within the right -of-way; they would
have to have a license agreement with us for nearly everything. They would still need
to have a license with the Town, but that will permit them to have the parking on their
own property. Once that area becomes a Frontage Road, they will still have access to
that Frontage Road area. According to Mr. Brann there will not be enough traffic and
therefore, will not be a problem.
Within the draft resolution and the deed, the Town reserved a Temporary Construction
Easement in the event the Town has to go into the 25 ft. area of the construction in
Phase 2, the Town will be able to do that. The Town feels that it is appropriate to
abandon the 25 feet back to the property owner.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION / POSSIBLE ACTION
D1 Relating to Development and Public Works; update, discussion, and possible
direction regarding public and private projects and development applications on the
Town’s Marana Current and Proposed Projects internet site (Jamsheed Mehta)
Jason Angell, Development Services Director provided an overview and update of
those projects occurring within the Town of Marana limits. Council Member Ziegler
commented on the adult retail store, Fascination on Ina Road. She complimented staff
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 92 of 143
August 6, 2019 Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 10
on their efforts to provide in keeping the Mayor and Council abreast of new businesses
coming into the area.
D2 Relating to Legislation and Government Actions; discussio n 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)
Jamsheed Mehta, Town Manager stated there is no news from the legis lature;
however, the Town will become very active with the Pima County A ssociation of
Government (PAG) and the RTA plan. He and Town Engineer, Keith Brann visited
with the leadership there and the Town has been asked to prepare for a presentation to
the Citizens Advisory Committee of the RTA looking toward the RTA Plan 2. We are
preparing for that as to what Marana will likely be concerned with and of those areas
that Marana would be most interested in presenting. They expect other jurisdictions
would make presentations to the Citizens Advisory Committee. At this point, the Town
plans on addressing each one of the goals that have been provided by the RTA.
He stated there was some reference to maintaining roadways in the future as well as
paying or financing transit services for areas that Marana does not currently have as
priority in comparison to other entities.
Vice Mayor Post asked whether the Town will be presenting a Counci l approved
project to the PAG or present a staff approved one instead. Mr. Mehta responded
stating at this time, the Town will review its priorities that are within our current
transportation section of the General Plan which includes a significant number of
capital projects. Vice Mayor Post stated Marana will go in with those items that have
been previously approved by Council. Mr. Mehta confirmed.
Council Member Ziegler questioned whether Marana has a representative on RTA
Advisory Board. Mr. Mehta stated Marana does have representatives on the Citizen
Advisory Committee. Mayor Honea stated Marana has three (3) representatives on the
CAC. Mr. Mehta stated he would provide a Council with the three individuals from
Marana.

Date:September 3, 2019
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Relating to Liquor Licenses; recommendation to the Arizona
Department of Liquor Licenses and Control regarding a new series #10
Beer and Wine Store liquor license application submitted by Andrea
Dahlman Lewkowitz on behalf of Foulk Family Winery, located at 7229
N. Thornydale Road #148 Marana, AZ 85741 (Cherry L. Lawson)
Discussion:
This application is for a series #10 Beer and Wine Store liquor license at Foulk Family
Winery, located at 7229 N. Thornydale Road #148 Marana, AZ 85741.
Pursuant to state law, the application was posted at the premises where the business is
to be conducted. The posted notice provided that residents within a one-mile radius
from the premises may file written arguments in favor of or opposed to the issuance of
the license with the Town Clerk’s Office within 20 days of the posting. Any written
arguments received by the Clerk’s Office for or against the proposed liquor license are
attached to this item and will be submitted to the Department of Liquor Licenses and
Control (DLLC).
Town staff has reviewed this application to determine whether the applicant is in
compliance with zoning, building and other legal requirements for the business.
Additionally, the Marana Police Department has conducted a local background check.
The Town Council must enter an order recommending approval or disapproval of the
application within 60 days after filing of the application. Pursuant to state statute, a
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 95 of 143
license will only be issued after a satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications
and reliability of the applicant and “in all proceedings before the town council, the
applicant bears the burden of showing that the public convenience requires and that the
best interests of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of a license.”
If the Council’s recommendation is for disapproval, the order must include an
attachment stating the specific reasons for the recommendation of disapproval and
including a summary of the testimony or other evidence supporting the
recommendation.
If the Council enters an order recommending approval of the application, or makes no
recommendation, then no hearing before the Arizona state liquor board will take place,
unless the director of the DLLC, the liquor board or a resident within a one-mile radius
from the premises requests a hearing. If the Council enters an order recommending
disapproval of the application, or if the director, board or a resident within a one-mile
radius from the premises requests a hearing, then the state board will hold a hearing
regarding the application.
At the hearing, the state board will consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or
opposed to the granting of the license. The decision of the board to either grant or deny
an application will normally take place within 105 days after the application has been
filed, unless the director of the DLLC deems it necessary to extend the time period.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that an order recommending approval be submitted to the DLLC for
this liquor license application.
Suggested Motion:
OPTION 1: I move to adopt and submit to the DLLC an order recommending
approval of a new series #10 Beer and Wine Store liquor license application submitted
by Andrea Dahlman Lewkowitz on behalf of Foulk Family Winery, located at 7229 N.
Thornydale Road #148 Marana, AZ 85741.

background
For the last 45 years I have worked in the law enforcement profession. Thirty of those years as a
police officer for the City of Detroit, MI,and the last 15 years as a Crime Scene Specialist for the
Marana Police Department.
Describe your experience
working with a Council-appointed
board or commission
While in Detroit, I was involved in the police union. Because of my work in that position I sat in on
many boards. The executive board of the union making decisions as to finances and the handling
of over 5,000 officers concerns. I was appointed as a trustee for the Detroit Police Benefit &
Protective Protective Association overseeing benefits to the widows and orphans of officers. I sat
on the Marana Police Officer''s Association Board and assisted in negotiations when there was a
Memorandum of Understanding with the town. These were not the Marana Town Council
appointments but I consider those experiences will assist me in the position I am seeking.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 110 of 143
Describe a time when you had to
stand firm and make a tough or
unpopular decision
As the coordinator and officer in charge of the 20 officer Detroit Police Honor Guard, I brought on
female officers to that unit against the wishes of several of the male officers. Some had
threatened to resign if the females were allowed on the guard, but I stood firm and accepted
them as members. It was not a popular decision amongst many but I stood by my decision and
had no regrets.
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 believe I can make the decisions in the best interest of both the town and the person or persons
involved. I would first follow what the laws state and follow what my law enforcement''s Code of
Ethics taught me when I first joined the police department in 1973. I will keep my private life
unsullied from my decisions and base my decisions on the facts and merits of the case.

Principle Statement 2: WE WILL APPROACH CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT IN UNIQUE
AND CREATIVE WAYS.
Initiative 2: Evaluate and continuously improve the Marana Citizens' Forum and ensure
Forum recommendations are implemented wherever possible.
Subject:Resolution 2019-086: Relating to Boards, Commissions and Committees;
selecting Transportation Connectivity and Infrastructure as the topic for
the Marana Citizens' Forum Fall 2019 session (Jamsheed Mehta)
Discussion:
The Marana Citizens' Forum was established by the Town Council to discuss, deliberate,
and make recommendations back to the Council on matters that are important to our
community. Generally, several topics of current interest are compiled and presented by
Town staff to the Town Council to then narrow down the list to the top three topics.
The Marana Citizens' Forum then selects one of the Council recommended topics.
Alternately, the Town Council may also suggest a single topic for the Citizens' Forum to
consider if the topic is of high importance at that time, or if input from the citizen body
could be used in planning efforts - as was done with the Make Marana 2040 General Plan.
It is Town staff's recommendation that a single topic on Transportation be forwarded to
the Citizens' Forum for their next (Fall 2019) session. If approved by Town Council, the
citizen body will discuss all modes of transportation and the relevance of each mode
(vehicular, pedestrian, aircraft, bicycle, etc.) as we look to the future of Marana.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 113 of 143
There are two reasons to consider Transportation as a topic of discussion at this time.
First, it immediately follows the 2040 General Plan discussion and the hands-on exercises
that the Forum was engaged in. Their recommendations on transportation to Council
could be a preamble for more detailed future plans on transportation infrastructure
needed to stay ahead of growth and development in Marana.
Secondly, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is engaging communities and
stakeholders within Pima County to develop its second Transportation Plan.
Recommendations from the Marana Citizens' Forum could provide a wide perspective
to Marana Town Council as it prepares to engage in the regional transportation plan
update.
If adopted, the proposed resolution will select Transportation Connectivity and
Infrastructure as the topic for the next Forum Session. This will allow the Citizens'
Forum to act as a key component in crafting citizen-driven recommendations on
transportation infrastructure for the Town of Marana and to:
Enable continuous and constructive communication through the process
Build consensus and obtain buy-in
Support future transportation planning and implementation efforts
Facilitate community-based recommendations
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution selecting Transportation Connectivity and
Infrastructure as the topic for the Marana Citizens' Forum Fall 2019 session.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2019-086, selecting Transportation Connectivity and
Infrastructure as the topic for the Marana Citizens' Forum Fall 2019 session.

Subject:Relating to Traffic and Highways; presentation regarding the status of
the Pavement Preservation Program (Mo El-Ali)
Discussion:
The Town's pavement preservation program employs a proactive maintenance
philosophy focused on keeping good pavements in good condition and reducing the
need for major reconstruction. This approach results in improved pavement
performance, long term cost savings, increased safety, and greater customer satisfaction.
Public Works staff and our consultant Infrastructure Management Services (IMS)
recently completed an evaluation and analysis of the condition of Town streets. Through
this effort, the current and targeted condition of Town streets were assessed. The
purpose of the assessment was to provide an objective pavement performance data that
can be utilized to manage the pavement network in the most cost-effective manner that
provides the Town with the optimal blend of level of service and budget requirements.
To accomplish this goal, IMS conducted field surveys utilizing the Laser Road Surface
Tester (RST) for the surface distress surveys of the Town's roadway network. The Laser
RST, equipped with an array of 11 lasers, digital cameras, GPS, and a touchscreen tablet
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 116 of 143
drove the Town's roadways to update the network inventory data and pavement
condition assessment data. The data is of sound quality and backup materials are in
possession of the Town. Field data is being input into the Town's asset management
software Cartegraph database.
This evening, staff will present the current pavement condition of the Town's
network, planned work in the current fiscal year, summary of the results of the
pavement condition assessment project, level of service options, and how much it would
cost to maintain the streets at the target condition in the next five years.
Staff is seeking input from Council if maintaining the current level of service is adequate
for the long-term? Secondarily, should we explore ways to address the funding gap
with new revenue sources?
Staff Recommendation:
Presentation only.
Suggested Motion:
Council's pleasure.

Subject:Resolution No. 2019-087: Relating to Municipal Court; reappointing
Laine Sklar as Marana Town Magistrate for a two-year term beginning
October 1, 2019; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute an
employment agreement between the Town of Marana and Laine Sklar
(Jamsheed Mehta)
Discussion:
On September 1, 2015, the Town Council appointed Laine Sklar as Marana Town
Magistrate for a two-year term beginning on October 1, 2015 and ending September 30,
2017. On September 19, 2017, Judge Sklar was subsequently reappointed for another
two-year term.
In the years since her appointment, Judge Sklar has implemented several new programs
and increased efficiencies within the court, while taking charge of both the judicial and
administrative functions. The proposed item on tonight's agenda will reappoint Judge
Sklar for another two-year term as the Marana Town Magistrate.
Judge Sklar's contract for the 2017-2019 term called for compensation in the amount of
$106,000.00. The agreement further provided that if other unclassified (department
head) positions in the Town received a pay raise in FY 19, Judge Sklar received the same
pay raise on October 1, 2018. A copy of the 2017-2019 contract is attached for the
Council's convenience.
A proposed new agreement is included within the Council packet for consideration. The
new agreement will maintain the same benefits and terms and conditions as the
previous agreement, and includes a two-year term through September 30, 2021. The
amount of compensation for both the first year and second year of the agreement has
Marana Regular Council Meeting 09/03/2019 Page 135 of 143
amount of compensation for both the first year and second year of the agreement has
been left blank for Council consideration and discussion. An executive session has also
been scheduled on tonight's agenda for discussion of the Town Magistrate's employment
and contract, if needed.
Financial Impact:
The Court's department budget has adequate existing budgetary capacity to pay for the
Town Magistrate's salary and benefits.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Judge Sklar's contract.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2019-087, reappointing Laine Sklar as Marana Town
Magistrate for a two-year term beginning October 1, 2019; approving and authorizing
the Mayor to execute an employment agreement between the Town of Marana and Laine
Sklar with a salary of $_____________ for the first year of the agreement and a salary of
$_____________ for the second year of the agreement.
