Council-Regular Meeting C1
Meeting Date:06/16/2020
To:Mayor and Council
Submitted For:Steve Miller, Airport Manager
From:Dan Grossman, CIP Process Analyst
Date:June 16, 2020
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Relating to Procurement; ratifying the Town Manager's approval of a
change order to the Dowl, LLC design/construction management
contract for the Airport Rehabilitation of Taxiways, Tie Downs,
Helicopter Pad, and Terminal Apron project (AP025) in the amount
of $21,292; 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 (Steve Miller)
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. Section
3-4-8(B) provides that the town manager or designee may approve change orders to
public improvements contracts that exceed $50,000 if the town manager reasonably
determines that doing so will avoid unnecessary contractor delay claims or costs or
public health or safety hazards that would otherwise occur while awaiting town council
approval, provided that town council ratification occurs as soon as practicable thereafter.
The budget for fiscal year 2019-2020 was adopted on June 18, 2019. The Airport
Rehabilitation of Taxiways, Tie Downs, Helicopter Pad, and Terminal Apron (AP025)
project was properly included within the Town of Marana’s FY2020 Capital
Improvement Plan. The final, revised budget amount for the project is $6,758,371.
The Town and Dowl, LLC entered into a design/construction management contract in
the amount of $514,776 to design and conduct construction management for the project.
The additional cost of this change order is $21,292 and once approved the
design/construction management contract will total $536,068.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 8 of 106
This will be the 1st change order for the Dowl, LLC design/construction management
contract. This change order is necessary to cover additional design and construction
management services. Design services include revising grades in various locations;
removing a helipad and adding tie-downs, preliminary design to the Taxiway B-2
connector, and redesigning drainage in a parking lot due to a utility conflict. Added
construction management includes time for approved contractor change orders and for
unapproved schedule extension that is offset by liquidated damages charged to the
contractor.
This is anticipated to be the final change order for this project. The Town has processed
11 previous change orders to the Pavex Corp. construction contract totaling $573,296.
This change order combined with the previous change orders to the Pavex construction
contract will bring the cost of the project to $6,188,203 and the total amount of change
orders to $594,588. Including the change order in this item, the cumulative amount of
these change orders that may be paid by the FAA is $488,934. Approximately $90,798 is
the Town’s responsibility and it is not covered by either the FAA or the State.
Primary responsibility for management of the project and review of project change
orders rest with Dowl, the designated airport engineer and project manager. However,
this change order has been thoroughly reviewed by Town staff but has not yet been
approved by the FAA. It should be noted that FAA approval indicates only that the
change orders are eligible to be paid by the FAA grant in an amount not to exceed 15%
of the original grant amount ($4,497,369) at the conclusion of the project, and only if the
FAA has additional grant funds available.
There is no guarantee that these additional costs will be covered by the FAA grant. Also,
the amount of the reimbursement will be limited to an amount, yet to be determined,
that will maintain the Town's eligibility to apply for future grants related to the Airport
Control Tower project. As such, any amount not reimbursed by the FAA will be
covered through budgeted transfers from the Town's General Fund. The amount to be
reimbursed by the FAA will be determined upon final close-out of the project which is
anticipated to take place by the end of fiscal year 2020.
Further, the Arizona Department of Transportation, which provided grant funding for
4.47% of the original project, has indicated that they will not contribute toward any
portion of the change orders.
There is adequate budget capacity for the overall project. This change order affects only
the Dowl, LLC construction management contract.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2020
Budgeted Y/N:Yes
Amount:$21,292
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 9 of 106
This change order will be funded with Airport Capital Funds, GL Account

Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends ratification of the Town Manager's approval of the change order.
Suggested Motion:
I move to ratify the Town Manager's approval of the change order to the Dowl, LLC
contract for the Airport Rehabilitation of Taxiways, Tie Downs, Helicopter Pad, and
Terminal Apron project (AP025) in the amount of $21,292; 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.

documentation listed in Section 6 above shall be provided to the Town as soon
as practicable after approval, but in any event not later than one calendar week
after they become effective. Amendments that reduce the insurance coverages
below the minimums set forth in Section 5 above or that in the Town’s reasonable
opinion materially affect the Chamber’s ability to deliver the outputs set forth in
Section 2 above constitute default for which Town may withhold payment until
Chamber restores the minimum insurance coverages or restores Chamber’s abil-
ity to deliver the outputs.
Section 8. Default and Dispute Resolution. If either Party defaults (the
“Defaulting Party”) with respect to any of that Party’s obligations under this
Agreement, the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall be entitled to give
written notice in the manner prescribed in Section 10 below to the Defaulting
Party, stating the nature of the default claimed and demanding that the default
be corrected. The Defaulting Party shall then have 20 days from the date of the
notice within which to cure the default. If any default is not cured wi thin 20 days,
then the Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to begin the mediation and arbi-
tration proceedings set forth in paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 below.
8.1. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the
Parties cannot resolve among themselves, the Parties agree that there shall
be a 21-day moratorium on arbitration during which time the Parties agree
to attempt to settle the dispute by nonbinding mediation before com-
mencement of arbitration. The mediation shall be held under the comm er-
cial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. The matter
in dispute shall be submitted to a mediator mutually selected by Chamber
and Town. If the Parties cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator
within seven days, then within three days thereafter Town shall (on its be-
half and on behalf of Chamber) request the presiding judge of the Superior
Court in and for the County of Pima, State of Arizona, to appoint an inde-
pendent mediator. The cost of mediation shall be divided equally betwee n
the mediating Parties. The results of the mediation shall be nonbinding on
the Parties, and any Party shall be free to initiate arbitration after the mor-
atorium period.
8.2. Arbitration. If mediation (paragraph 8.1 above) fails to result in res-
olution of the dispute, the dispute, controversy, claim or cause of action
arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by submission
of the matter by all Parties to binding arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Arizona Uniform
Arbitration Act, A.R.S. § 12-501 et seq., and judgment upon the award ren-
dered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having jurisdiction.

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-063: Relating to Administration; approving and
authorizing the Finance Director to execute Amendment One to the Inmate
Work Contract between the Town of Marana, the Arizona Department of
Corrections and the Management & Training Corporation for inmate labor
services (Libby Shelton)
Discussion:
The Town of Marana has maintained an agreement with the Arizona Department of
Corrections and the Management & Training Corporation (MTC) for a number of years
to obtain the use of inmate labor crews from the Marana Community Correctional
Treatment Facility (MCCTF) for work on Town public works projects. On March 17,
2020 the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-028 approving the latest version of
the inmate work contract.
The proposed amendment to the contract allows MTC to have broader discretion to
prohibit the assignment of inmates for work assignments when MTC reasonably
believes there is likelihood of risk to the health or safety of the public, inmate workers or
MTC staff.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2020-063, authorizing the Finance Director
to execute Amendment One to the Inmate Work Contract between the Town of Marana,
the Arizona Department of Corrections and the Management & Training Corporation for
inmate labor services.

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-064: Relating to Municipal Court; approving and
authorizing the Mayor to execute an intergovernmental agreement
between the Town of Marana and Pima County for provision of
video-court hearings of municipal prisoners for 2020-2021 (Laine
McDonald)
Discussion:
Marana Municipal Court uses technology and staff from the Pima County Adult
Detention Center to conduct video hearings for prisoners who have been arrested, held,
or sentenced for their Marana Municipal Court charges. This is the most efficient way to
ensure these individuals are seen by a judge in Marana in a timely manner without
having to bear the cost, risk, and complications associated with transporting these
defendants to the court to be seen in person.
The attached IGA is substantially the same as the IGA approved by the Council for
2019-2020.
This resolution approves the agreement and authorizes the Mayor to execute it on behalf
of the Town. The agreement has a one-year term, from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, and
may be extended for an additional four years.

Meeting Date:06/16/2020
To:Mayor and Council
From:Kristin Taft, Grants Manager
Date:June 16, 2020
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Resolution No. 2020-065: Relating to Administration; approving and
authorizing the Town Manager to execute AZ CARES Fund Grant Agreement
Number ERMT-20-057 with the State of Arizona, acting through the Governor's
office, for federal financial assistance through the U.S. Department of Treasury
Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) (Kristin Taft)
Discussion:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by
Congress with overwhelming, bipartisan support on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act
established the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF). The U.S. Department of the Treasury
was appropriated $150B for CRF to distribute to states and units of local government
with over 500,000 in population.
Arizona was allocated a total of $2.8 billion. Five cities/counties within Arizona (Mesa,
Phoenix, Tucson, Maricopa County and Pima County) received a combined direct
allocation total of $965.4 million. $1.8 billion was received by the Governor’s Office and
$441 million is being allocated by the Governor’s Office to local jurisdictions with
populations under 500,000 through the AZCares Fund. The state allocated $5,628,966 to
the Town of Marana based on a population formula allocation.
This funding may be used for public safety and/or public health salaries and
employee-related-expense (ERE) costs incurred between March 1, 2020 and December
30, 2020. Public safety includes Sheriff Deputies, Police Officers, 9-1-1, Fire, and
Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Costs such as overtime, hazardous duty pay,
COVID specific training, and PPE are not eligible under this funding award but should
be submitted to FEMA through its Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program. Funds can
replace General Fund monies used only for public safety regular salary costs and ERE
allowing these replaced funds to be used for any purpose based on local needs.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 42 of 106
While Resolution 2019-043 provides the Finance Director authority to act on behalf of
the Town with respect to emergency management funding and related documentation, it
does not explicitly authorize the Finance Director to execute grant agreements. As a
result, tonight's item is being brought before Council for consideration which authorizes
the Town Manager to execute the grant agreement.
Town has completed the initial application process and all other necessary
documentation and is ready to accept the complete amount of the award once the grant
agreement is executed. Once funds are received they will be placed in a separate fund as
required by the award and then transferred to the General fund.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2020
Budgeted
Y/N:
Yes
Amount:$5,628,966
$5,628,966 will be used for public safety salaries and ERE which are budgeted in the
General Fund. Funds will be transferred from the Grant Fund (2015) to the General Fund
to pay for eligible public safety related salary expenses.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Town Manager be authorized to execute the grant agreement
with the State of Arizona for the CRF allocation.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2020-065, approving and authorizing the Town Manager
to execute AZ CARES Grant Agreement Number ERMT-20-057 with the State of
Arizona, acting through the Governor's office, for federal financial assistance through the
US Department of Treasury Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF).

Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 49 of 106
Page 5 of 8
XVII. Payments
Grantee reimbursements are based only on expenditures approved in its Application budget
and budget narrative. A Grantee shall be reimbursed initially for actual public health and
safety payroll expenses and EREs for the time period of March 1, 2020 up to the Grantee’s
application submission or the most recent pay period. If an allocation award balance exists,
then the Grantee will either include forecasted payroll expenses and EREs in its application
or submit further reimbursement request(s) of its actual public health and safety payroll
expenses and EREs until its allocation is fully expended. The Grantee will need to provide
its previous year's total actual expense(s) for that category(ies) to validate projection.
Overtime is not an eligible expense for reimbursement request(s) from the AZCares Fund.
For purposes of the AZCares Fund, Fire, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), 9-1-1, and
Sheriff/Police personnel are considered public safety. The Grantee shall use the forms
provided by the Grantor to submit reimbursement requests.
Per Federal guidance:
a. these public health and safety expenses do NOT need to be materially related to
the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency.
b. these funds are designed to address unforeseen financial needs and risks created
by the COVID-19 public health emergency. For this reason, and as a matter of
administrative convenience in light of the emergency nature of this program, the
Grantee may presume that payroll costs for public health and public safety
employees are payments for services substantially dedicated to mitigating or
responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Grantee must:
a. register for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program via the
Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) portal.
b. submit an application for FEMA PA Grant Program to be verified by DEMA to
successfully complete, maintain compliance, and closeout the Public Health and
Safety Stabilization Program.
c. enroll in automatic clearing house (ACH) payments. Grantee must complete the
document titled ―State of Arizona Substitute W-9 and ACH Vendor Authorization
Forms & Instructions." Vendor account set-up and payment information can be
found here.
Notwithstanding any other payment provision of this Agreement, failure of the Grantee to
submit required reports when due, or failure to perform or deliver required work, supplies, or
services, will result in the withholding of payment under this Agreement unless such failure
arises due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Grantee.
XVIII. Notification of Program Changes
Grantee agrees to notify the Grantor in writing, thirty (30) calendar days in advance, of any
changes in the program that will directly affect service delivery under the terms of the
Agreement. No changes shall be implemented without the prior written approval of a formal
Agreement Amendment issued by the Grantor.
XIX. Relationship of Parties
The individuals performing work on behalf of Grantee, its subgrantees or its subcontractors
are not employees, servants, agents, partners, or joint venturers of the Grantor. The State

the nation are taking a hard hit.
Council Member echoed the comments of Council Member Bowen.
Council Member Officer wished to thank Southern Pacific Railroad as the work on the

Manager Jamsheed Mehta to extend the Council appreciation for t he work done.
Council Member Ziegler thanked members who have called into the meeting for the
Adonis Road Improvement project as the Town Council has heard them for many years.
She has responded too many of residents who live in that area. Council was tired of the
stalling and decided to take control and have the Town to build the road. She and other
Council Members do apologize for having taken so long to build the road.
Vice Mayor Post stated he does not have a report; however, asked whether Council
plans to speak about the splash pads. Mayor Honea stated he had planned to make a
comment in his report.
Mayor Honea stated he has been encouraging Town staff to open the splash pad at
Cross Road Park and at Marana Heritage Park as the weather is heating up this week.
As this is not an agenda item, he asked Cou ncil to support the splash pads opening this
week. Communities around the state are trying to develop parameters for reopening its
splash pads and aquatics. Council agreed the splash pad should be opened at this time.
He commented on a telephone call that he had with Governor Ducey on Saturday and
Sunday, stating Mayor McFarland of Casa Grande participated on the call for some
time. The Governor was checking in on each of the communities in light of current
events including rioting. Wednesday is considered a National Day of Protest and
Marana Police is trying to stay on top of the situation, as the Town want to ensure the
public and the police remain safe while protesting. He referenced Governor Ducey’s
Executive Order relating to the curfew, and stated Marana is doing very well.
Mayor Honea continued stating he does not know anyone who has COVID -19 as he
has spoken with ministers as well as Father Edson and they do not know of anyone
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 61 of 106
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 06/02/2020
who has the virus. In speaking with Governor Ducey, he stated loss of employment
and business closure is a concern for residents and business owners. The Governor is
aware of this and it is likely that we will go to Phase 2 in reopening the state.
He has had conversations with the mayors of Oro Valley and Sah uarita to check-in on
both as well as to pledge community support of assistance if needed. Police Chief Terry
Rozema has had conversations with neighboring communities who have offered to
assist Marana if needed, and Marana has extended the same.
MANAGER’S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS
Town Manager Jamsheed Mehta reported that Council has received the Executive
Report for the month of May the Town issued single -family residential permits that
exceeded the Town’s budgetary target for the fiscal year of 735. At the end of May, the
Town had issued 744; there were 57 residential permits issued in May. June is
traditionally a strong month; however, this June may prove to be different in those
numbers.
He spoke of Governor Ducey’s statewide cu rfew and added to Marana Police
Department is in constant communication several other agencies, including intelligence
agencies, and law enforcement agencies. The officers are well briefed . Chief Rozema
has implemented a revised protocol in the event the re is a need to handle any protest.
Staffing strategies have been revised to ensure better coverage during certain shifts, and
that Marana has not had any incidents of civil unrest. However, in the event it does
have any, Marana will be able to rely on ot her agencies for assistance, as well as being
of assistance to other communities if requested.
On May 28, Governor Ducey included many changes to the Executive Order, Stay
Home Stay Safe protocol. While the data was not conclusive at that time; therefore,
Phase 1 stayed as is. At that same announcement, K -12 schools are set to open next
school year. Additionally, little league sports are set to open for those who wish to
allow their children to participate. On May 27, Governor Ducey made a very interesting
announcement that is very beneficial to small towns, like Marana. It was the
announcement of the Arizona Cares Fund that allocates $441M of Federal Cares funds
to cities and towns that did not originally receive a direct allocation from the U.S.
Treasury at that time as Marana was under the 500,000 -population threshold. Marana
will receive approximately $5.62M, and that amount was determined based upon our
portion of the census population for 2019.
Deputy Town Manager Erik Montague will present Item D2 on the Council Agenda
and will provide information on the grant funds and how it will be handled.
Also on May 27, Governor Ducey announced another initiative called the Arizona
Express Pay Program, and has designated $150M of state funding that i s immediately
available for reimbursement to cities and towns for actual expenses that might have
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 62 of 106
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 06/02/2020
during this time. State Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) is
heading this program, and the Town will seek reimbursement of actual expenses o nce
the state provides additional information on that process.
Mr. Mehta provided an update on park amenities stating the Town had a phased
approached and the only two amenities that have not yet opened are Ora Mae Harn
Park and the splash pad. Ora Mae Ha rn Park is under construction. June 15 is the target
date for completion, and once construction has completed, the Town will open the park.
The pool in Ora Mae Harn Park will allow community swimming in addition to lap
swim. The Town does plan to open spla sh pad; however, there are certain protocols that
had to be identified, and CDC guidelines that parks must follow. Parks & Recreation
Director Jim Conroy and his staff and moving forward with those protocols to ensure
the safety of all guest of the splash pad and park amenities. The target opening is
Saturday for the splash pad.

COUNCIL ACTION
A1 Resolution No. 2020-058: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing
the Mayor to sign the Amended and Restated Vanderbilt Farms Development
Agreement (Frank Cassidy)
Mayor Honea requested that Items A1 and A2 be considered together as it relates to
Vanderbilt Farms Development.
Town Attorney Frank Cassidy provided an overview of this item relating to the
Amended and Restated Vanderb ilt Farms Development Agreement and the Re-Plat of
Final Block Plat Vanderbilt Farms Blocks 1 thru 13 & 11A located south of Barnett Road,
north of Moore Road and east of Sandario Road, as the Development Agreement
connects directly to the Re -Plat of the Final Block Plat. Council is aware that over more
than the last few years, the Town has made changes to the roadways that affect
Vanderbilt Farms. First by approving the alignme nt of Clark Farms Boulevard that goes
into Gladden II, as that alignment was different from the alignment of Clark Farms
Boulevard in Vanderbilt was platted earlier in 2005.
A couple of years ago, the Town changed the location of Lon Adams coming up to the
current Lon Adams, because the Bus Barn will remain in its place. Those two (2)
changes made it necessary for Vanderbilt Farms Re -Plat to be redone. Mr. Cassidy
introduced Engineer Jerry Zelman stating he worked on this and was present in the
event Council had any questions. The plat is not different from any plat that Council
has approved; however, it does implement those roadway changes.
In the process of asking them to redo the plat to accommod ate those roadway changes,
the Town had conversations with the owners and their lawyers. The Town asked why
the property is not developing as it is the logical property to be developed. This item
will set up Vanderbilt Farms to be sold on a block -by-block basis. Any buyer of an
individual block can review this agreement and has a sense of the roadway obligations
that go with that block, sewer, and non-potable water obligations.
Vice Mayor Post stated he spoke during the last CFD Board Meeting about Farm Field
5 being excluded from the CFD. He is adamant about this, and ask where the Town go
from this point. Mr. Cassidy replied stating as he anticipated this question, he
commented to their lawyer he has reason to believe this will be a problem for the May or
and Town Council of Marana. He stated the lawyer for the client stated, they would not
under any circumstances sell bonds that would have to be repaid by Farm Field 5. That whatever
it takes to exclude Farm Field 5 from having to pay Vanderbilt Farms C FD bonds, they would
do. They doubt that they would use the CFD. The reason they doubt [that] CFD is that
it was setup for large development, and he does not believe they will sell it to a single
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 66 of 106
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 06/02/2020
developer. For it to work economically, whether it is that CFD or they get rid of the CFD
and form another CFD without Farm Field 5, they would need to have all of the
remaining properties. Mr. Cassidy provided as an example D.R. Horton who is a large
developer and has experience with CFDs, has history of purchas ing large developments
(such as Saguaro Bloom). If the y wanted to purchase the all fourteen blocks of the
development, then they could possibly have a CFD. Even then, the Vanderbilt Farms
group agree with Council’s position, as they would not want to risk the ire of everyone
who lives in Farms Field Five by having them to have to pay.
Vice Mayor Post ask how the Town would get those sentiments in writing. Mr. Cassidy
replied stating he had asked the Vanderbilt Farms group that same question. Within the
agreement there is language regarding the CFD. After the last meeting, the Town could
have included that language within the agreement. He tried to put togeth er a change
that included dissolving the CFD. He explained the trouble with dissolving a CFD as
the Town has worked with Attorney Cafiso for many years; that trying to get rid of a
CFD and the steps involved in a short period, Town staff did not believe i t was feasible
to do.
He continued stating with recent events Council controls the sale of bonds. This CFD
was created at a time when the rule was there should not be sales of bonds past seven
(7) years after the creation of the CFD. This CFD was created more than seven (7) years
ago. Vice Mayor Post replied stating the Board had already done that on Farm Field
Five when the Town had to repair the sewer. Mr. Cassidy stated no bonds was sold.
However, there has been a $.30 cents per $100 of assessed valuati on applied as an
operation maintenance tax. The sewers that were built in Farm Field Five were
originally intended to be sold to the CFD. The CFD would reimburse for those sewers,
but there was never a bond sale. Because they were included with the plan, t he O&M
tax could be used to repair those sewers. The Town had been collecting that $.30 per
$100 of assessed valuation since before there was ass essed valuation.
Vice Mayor Post stated he would vote no on this item until Farm Field Five can be
excluded. If it can be done, then he prefer to see the Town move forward. The residents
who lives in Vanderbilt Farms has been there for 12 years, it is not right to assess them
with a CFD five years from today. After 17 years would be wrong. He appreciates the
work of Mr. Cassidy on this item.
Mr. Cassidy recommended continuing the item to provide Town staff an opportunity to
review and edit the agreement before bringing the item back to Council. If this is a
critical issue for all of Council, he knows that the property owners are all on board with
it. He would need time to rework this agreement as well as work with Mr. Cafiso on
this item.
Vice Mayor Post, moved and Council Member Officer second the moti on to table this
item for one month. Motion passes 6 -1. Nay – Council Member Ziegler.

(Jamsheed Mehta) Amended May 28, 2020 @10:10 a.m. to include this item.
Deputy Town Manager Erik Montague provided a PowerPoint Presentation overview
on the Arizona Cares Fund. Below are the highlights of the presentation. This
presentation can be viewed from the Town website at www.maranaaz.gov. (A copy of
this presentation is on file in the Town Clerk’s Office for viewing.)
Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, $150 billion
was appropriated to the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) to be used for direct payments
for specific uses to State and local governments. Th e U.S. Department of the Treasury
managed the initial distribution of these funds to states and jurisdictions with
populations above 500,000. Those initial distributions were based on the U.S. Census
Bureau data and a methodology developed by the Treasury. The total CRF funding
allocated to the state of Arizona was approximately $2,822 billion. The five (5) eligible
local units of government that received their allocations directly from the Treasury are:
• City of Mesa;
• City of Phoenix;
• City of Tucson.
• Maricopa County; and
• Pima County.
On May 27, 2020, Governor Ducey launched the AZCares Fund and the distribution
of $441 million in direct, flexible funding to county, city, and town governments that
did not receive direct federal CARES Act alloca tions.
In addition, the Governor announced an "Express Pay Program" for all entities eligible
for public assistance through FEMA. This program expedites delivery of resources for
eligible projects related to COVID-19 response efforts and will be managed by the
Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA). $150 million of the
State's $1.8 billion allocation will be set aside to immediately aid those entities applying
for federal FEMA reimbursement.

The Town can choose to submit requests only for actual costs, then periodic, additional
requests OR we can submit for actual costs and forecasted costs through December 30,
2020. It is the intent of Town staff to proceed with Optio n 2. Monies received must be
placed in a separate fund or sub -fund. Monies can be transferred from this separate
fund/sub-fund later to deploy to any purpose decided upon by that jurisdiction. It is
Staff’s intent that once those funds are available and pr ovided to the Town, the Town
has a grant and external contribution – a special revenue fund that is outside of the

General Fund, assign it a project code for AZCares funding and will be separately
accounted for; those monies will be available to deploy.
Council Member Comerford asked whether the expense from when the Parks &
Recreation Department sprayed park equipment and amenities are reimbursable,
whether salaries can be included. Mr. Montague replied stating for the purposes of this
AZCares, those cos t would not be eligible for the use of the Cares Fund. The monies for
those additional costs that are incurred by departments, those can be direct funding
request through some combination of FEMA or the governors’ Express Pay Program to
submit those costs. The Town has established a project code account in an effort to track
all cost including staff’s time. Town staff would later determine what funding is
available to cover those expenses. Related to chemicals, supplies, sneeze guards, PPE or
modification e quipment the Town will seek full cost if it can.
FY2021 General Fund Budget
• Updates based on direction previously received:
o Identified $62K (including contingency) for El Rio preserve turn out
structure, project to deliver water to ensure a permanent or semi -
permanent water supply.
o Moved $53K from restricted budget to Holiday Festival and placed those
funds back in the available project budget for that particular event.
• We anticipate holding the remaining portion of replaced General Fund moni es in
a restricted contingency line item which can be deployed, based on Council
approval, when required in FY2021
o Provide a capacity within the contingency line item within the General
Fund, and increase the contingency fund within the General Fund of an
amount of the $5.6M.
o That would provide the Town the capacity to utilize any portion of that
during the fiscal year as it might be required, and approved by Council.
o Town staff has shared that particular contingency with the Council, and
none of those funds will be available for use without this Council’s
approval.
Mr. Montague stated the intent of the presentation was to provide Council with clarity
on the source of the funds their intended , how staff visions handling the exciting
accounting the side of that to ensure that their separately accounted for and available to
the community. When it is needed and ensure that they are not controls in place so that
any use of those are brought back before this Council.
Mayor Honea commented stating he was on the call with Governor Ducey as well as
with Mr. Montague for the $5.638M where the Governor indicated that Marana would
receive. The reason the Governor told everybody those funds could be used to cover
expenses for police, fire, or public service peo ple in conne ction with COVID-19. As
everyone was requesting for revenue replacement money , the Governor provided for
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 71 of 106
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 06/02/2020
all the cities in small counties . However, bi g cities received more money, but they must
provide a nexus to COVID-19 for everything they u se those funds for.
By Governor Ducey providing these funds and informing cities and towns to pay
police from those dollars, that has freed up the $5.638M as General Fund money. He
stated that he had previously spoken with each Council Member as well as Mr. Mehta
regarding the $2.2M that was going to be transferred from the reserve fund . He does
not want that to occur. He and Council Members would like to see those dollars remain
in the reserve fund, as next year cities and town may not see federal programs to bail us
out.
He stated a portion of those funds at $2.2M general fund money , which that becomes
and pay at $2.2M and not take the money out of the reserve . That will leave if you have
$2.2M in roughly; $50K for the holiday festival and the El Rio is about $3.3M in a
separate contingency fund from the existing. Those funds are protected and could be
used by Council’s orders . He did not see anything in there about the $2.2M to pay to
the WIFA loans and a few other things that were going to come out of the reserve fund.
Mr. Montague replied stating he very specifically remember that conversation related
to the concern with any use of reserves with the circumstance that we are under from a
budget perspective . Regarding the funds being in the special revenue fund , and they
will basically roll to the fund balance in that special revenue fund. Having a
contingency in the general budget , the Town will budget for basically an operating
transfer between the special revenue fund and to the General Revenue Fund in a similar
amount. If Council deems it appropriate to transfer any portion of that out, that can be
done next fiscal year. Town staff believes that would be beneficial for that purpose is
determining and getting a handle on what the outlook is with respect to actual
revenues. The Town has previously mentioned that we do not have a lot of actual data
yet on sales tax numbers . We have recently received some revised estimates from the
state on State Shared Revenues that staff is still working to process . As we progress
through the fiscal year, Town staff would come back before the Council at any time
during the year and then make that transfer for any portion expected shortfall .
Mayor Honea asked for clarification asking whether the $2.2M that was scheduled in
the budget to come out of the reserve fund going to be left in the reserve fund . At the
time that we need to pay those debts, staff will come back to Council for its
consideration of taking those funds out of the contingency fund. Mr. Montague stated
Mayor Honea’s comment is correct. Mayor Honea stated he does not want the money
to come out of the reserve fund .
Mr. Montague stated from an accounting perspective it would only come from the
reserve fund if revenues came in as expected an expenditure s and other financing uses
happened as expected then it would come out of reserves . If revenues came in wildly
higher, bounces back and the town received an additional $2.2M in sales tax than
expected, there would be no detriment to the reserve fund. It would not change is
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 72 of 106
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 06/02/2020
general fund use for those purposes out of the general fund . Mayor Honea stated the
directive was to not take the money out of the reserve fund. Use the General Fund
money. Council has already approved the budget, and everyone seemed happy with
the budget that was presented. Vice Mayor Post stated the budget has not yet been
approved by the Council. Mayor Honea clarified his comment stating the Manager’s
Recommended Budget was presente d to Council and the directive was for Town staff to
not use the General Fund monies.
Mr. Montague stated the Town can very specifically identify what is within the $2.2M
that the Town does not want to have covered by the General Fund. The debt piece (Ex:
WIFA Loan), the other portions are a one -time continuation of projects or programs that
were budgeted in a previous year that are to be completed. The Town can make a
change whereby no projects will come out of the reserve fund, the Town can balance
that. The next step in this process is the Tentative Budget that staff has had
conversations about, as staff is working diligently to provide that information to
Council. Within that budget, Town staff can add the feedback from this meeting into
that document.
Council Member Comerford ask when Council would receive the Tentative Budget
information from the Town. Mr. Montague stated it is the Town’s intent to provide the
Tentative Budget to Council two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting, by Tuesday,
June 9.
Council Member Ziegler commented stating El Rio will be her new Adonis Road
Extension. Marana has many birders in the area, and they really enjoy watching birds
out there. In her conversation with the Town Manager, it appears that the Town can get
this project going in this fiscal year. She would like to see water added to that area.
D3 Relating to Legislation and Government Actions; discussion 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 provided an overview of pending state, federal, and local legislation/
government actions stating there is not much occurring on the federal side. On the
state’s side, the house and the senate adjourned and there was siney die last Tuesday. A
week ago, what started this legislative session was about 1700 bills and ended with 90
bills having been approved last week.
In addition to the legislature having passed its skinny budget, they could likely come
back for a special legislative session sometime in mid t o late June. The potential date is
June 22, as they may come back to handle some special or a few budget related bills and
possibly COVID related. The Town is continuing to track and will likely move forward
is COVID-19 related.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 73 of 106
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 06/02/2020
He last mentioned to Council about the Civil Liabilities Bill that is something that the
Town will continue to monitor to the extent that cities and towns or political
subdivisions are not included in that specific bill in the way that universities,
nonprofits, school districts and others are protected from liability in case someone
decides to make a claim that they have contracted COVID -19 by the negligence of one
of those organizations. Cities and towns are not protected in that bill.
Mayor Honea stated that Senator Leach who has been phenomenal for the town
working on many things including the $5.6M to the Town from the Governor Office.
He stated Senator Leach does have a bill that includes government, and Senator
Cavanaugh does not. The Governor liked Senator Leach’s bill much better, as he told
him as such. There is still hope that the Town will be included once as that bill will
come forward. Kudos to Senator Leach for all his hard work and efforts on behalf of
Marana.
Council Member Ziegler requested Mr. Mehta or his staff to reach out to Triadvocates
to thank them for the reduction in the agreement as well as supporting the Town of
Marana
Mr. Mehta stated he did not speak with Triadvocates to seek out a reduction in its
agreement with the town. Anytime there is a n opportunity to do a contract with the
Town, there are discussion about changes within the agreement. Over the pass few
years, the Town has received ‘ask’ by consultants who has renewable agreements if they
can be raised. Sometime the Town has had to su ggest to them that it is not the right
time to do that. However, with this agreement, he spoke with Julie Reese, Principle with
Tri advocates could this be the time where the Town could consider lowering the it. It
was not met with any resistance or opposition; the number was offered by Triadvocates.

Article 26. Environmental Laws
Lessee, at its own expense, shall ensure that Lessee and Lessee’s agents, employees,

To:Mayor and Council
Submitted For:Jamsheed Mehta, Town Manager
From:Heath Vescovi-Chiordi, Assistant to the Town Manager
Date:June 16, 2020
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Relating to Transportation; presentation, discussion and
possible direction regarding the Town of Marana's tentative project list
for the Regional Transportation Authority Continuation (RTA2)
program (Jamsheed Mehta)
Discussion:
The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) continues to deliver projects from the 2006
voter-approved plan, but the current plan and funding source will expire in 2026. The
Pima Association of Governments (PAG) has requested that the Town of Marana, as
well as the other regional jurisdictions, submit a tentative transportation project list for
consideration for the proposed continuation of the RTA program (RTA2). To provide for
budgeting continuity and predictability, the next RTA investment program would
recognize Period 4 (i.e. FY 2022 to FY 2026) of the current RTA program as the same
Period 4 in the next RTA program, with the addition of three new 5-year periods: 5, 6
and 7. As projects in Period 4 of the current RTA Program are already voter-approved
and will transition from one plan to the next, as well as based on anticipated RTA
funding, the projects identified by the Town of Marana for RTA2 would potentially
constitute Periods 5, 6, and 7 (FY 2027 to FY 2041). The list attached to the item provides
a comprehensive overview of the suggested projects, including descriptions of each
project and general cost estimates associated with them.
The projects identified in this presentation are a result of multiple internal discussions
and consideration of several factors. These factors include financial limitations of the
next RTA program, increased connectivity of our streets network throughout the Town,
increased capacity and safety for additional travel specifically around interchanges and
Marana Regular Council Meeting 06/16/2020 Page 103 of 106
increased capacity and safety for additional travel specifically around interchanges and
railroad crossings, residential growth accommodation, facilitation of Economic
Development growth, and general access management.
Staff Recommendation:
Council's pleasure.

Period 5 (FY 2027-2031)
1. Cortaro Road Interchange - $90M: currently this interchange is over capacity and has an at-grade
railroad crossing which furthers traffic delays and increases safety hazards. The interchange should be
reconstructed with a flip/flop design. Construction method should be similar to Ina, working closely with
ADOT and RTA for funding, but have ADOT sponsor the project.
2. Dove Mountain Extension - $10M: this project would include the extension of Dove Mountain Boulevard
to Tangerine Road or to Interstate 10. This would mitigate public safety and emergency service access
concerns for people in the Dove Mountain area.
3. Tangerine Farms Road Extension - $16M: this project completes the Tangerine Farms Road Network and
is part of the Town’s General Plan Circulation Element. It would serve a significant population and
growth area of NW Marana to the Interstate at the Marana Interchange. It would also assist in traffic
redirection and act as bypass access in the event of I10 closures in the area due to traffic accidents.
4. Twin Peaks Road Rattlesnake Pass Expansion - $14M: this road acts as a regional road serving Marana
and Pima County, and as primary access for the northern Picture Rocks area. Depending on Town
funding options, the 4-lane expansion may be limited to the Saguaro Bloom frontage, allowing for a
period 5 project from Saguaro Bloom to Safeway. RTA could also extend Twin Peaks from Saguaro
Bloom west to Sandario Road, and provide improvements to the Sandario/Twin Peaks intersection.
Period 6 (FY 2032-2036)
1. Marana Road Interchange - $90M: the Marana Road Interchange is currently over capacity, and
projected to be far over capacity by the time that RTA 2 is projected to begin. The interchange also has
an at-grade railroad crossing which furthers traffic delays and increases safety hazards. The interchange
should be reconstructed with a flip/flop design. Construction method should be similar to Ina, working
closely with ADOT and RTA for funding, but have ADOT sponsor the project.
2. Tangerine Road Interchange - $90M: Tangerine Road is another regional corridor that serves Pima
County, Pinal County, Marana, and Oro Valley. The interchange is not yet over capacity, but does have
an at-grade railroad crossing, which increases traffic delays, emergency service/public safety response
times, and safety hazards. The interchange should be reconstructed with a flip flop design. Construction
method should be similar to Ina, working closely with ADOT and RTA for funding, but have ADOT sponsor
the project.
Period 7 (FY2037-2041)
1. Avra Valley Road Interchange & Extension - $96M: this project would consist of reconstruction of Avra
Valley Rd. This includes the TI, including grade separation, 4-lane road to Tangerine Road, wildlife
crossing of the road extension and I10.

11555 WEST CIVIC CENTER DRIVE / MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 / (520) 382-1900 / FAX: (520) 382-1901 / MaranaAZ.gov
2.Ina Road Expansion to 6 Lanes - $10M: this project would include the expansion of Ina to 6 lanes from
the Interstate 10 to the Town’s limits. The corridor is currently at capacity during peak PM travel. This is a
regional corridor that services Marana, Pima County, and Oro Valley. The $10M figure is currently a best
guess cost estimate, and would really be classified as a “Regional Access Management” project.
3.Moore Road Interchange - $90M: this project is a new interchange connecting Moore Road near
Gladden Farms to Adonis Road on the east side of I-10, including grade separated rail crossing.
Interchange is between Tangerine and Marana interchanges.
4.Sandario Road: Avra Valley Road to Emigh Road - $7M: this project would include the expansion of
Sandario Road to 4 lanes through the intersection to gain capacity and increase safety by signalizing
Twin Peaks and Emigh. Sandario is a regional and primary corridor for County residents in the N. Picture
Rocks area. We could also consider 4 lanes up to Avra Valley Road. This project would increase safety
and capacity access in traveling to the high school (specifically student safety), as well as access to
Saguaro National Park.
5.Tangerine Road Connector - $30M: the project would connect Tangerine Road to Avra Valley Road
near Marana Regional Airport. This would create a secondary bridge crossing over the river to link North
Marana to other southern roadway networks.
6.Tortolita Interchange - $90M: this project is a new interchange connecting a Luckett Road extension on
the west side of I-10 to Adonis Road on the east side of I-10, including grade separated rail crossing.
Interchange is between the Pinal Air Park and Marana interchanges.
