COUNCIL ACTION
A 1 PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution No. 2015-051: Relating to Budget; adopting the fiscal
year 2015-2016 tentative budget (Erik Montague). Mayor Honea opened the public hearing.
Mr. Montague stated that his presentation would summarize key points previously discussed as
well as some additional items of note. He began by reviewing the general fund reserves, which
will provide for a $5M contingency and retain an estimated $20AM ending reserve which
excludes the $5M contingency. He touched briefly on the positions that would be added for an
increase of 10.4 FTE, or a total of 338.73 FTE. He noted that the partial numbers indicated part-
time positions. Next he discussed the compensation piece. There will be a market adjust of 2%
applied to all employees' base pay except for temporary seasonal staff and employees whose
salary falls above the maximum of their pay grade. "There is also a 1.5% pay adjustment
available and applied to base pay for employees who full meet or exceed expectations. A one-
time performance-based adjustment will also be available to employees who exceeded
expectations up to $1500. He concluded with a comparison of the 2015 adopted and 2016
tentative budget numbers, noting an increase for 2016 of nearly 24% and a review of the revenue
sources and expenditures and uses. The overall expenditure limitation for FY 2015 is set at
$145M. Upon approval of the tentative budget, expenditure authority may only be reallocated or
reduced until the final budget is adopted on June 16. There were no speakers from the public.
Mayor Honea closed the public hearing. Council Member Bowen asked if the contingency
budget differed from last year's. Mr. Montague said it was the same — about 14-15% of budget.
Motion to adopt by Council Member Bowen, second by Council Member McGorray. Passed
unanimously 6-0.
A 2 Ordinance No. 2015.012: Relating to Finance; amending the Town of Marana
Comprehensive Fee Schedule; and designating an effective date (Erik Montague)
May 19,2015 Meeting Minutes 3
Resolution No. 2015-052: Relating to Finance; declaring as a public record filed with the
Town Clerk the amendments to the Town of Marana Comprehensive Fee Schedule adopted by
Ordinance No. 2015.012 (Erik Montague)
Mr. Montague presented the recommended changes as were presented at the March 10, 2015
study session. At that meeting 31 changes were noted, which is reflected 21 modifications to
existing fees; 16 of those were clarifications. There were four increases and one decrease. There
are three new fees which were recommended, and seven fees were eliminated. Following the
feedback from Council, staff provided the required 60-day public notice. Also, staff reached out
the Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association and the Metropolitan Pima Alliance through
letters inviting input. There were no major issues of concern or contention. Upon Council
approval, the effective date of these fees will be July 6, 2015.
Motion to approve Ordinance No. 2015.12 and Resolution No. 2015-052 with an effective date
of July 6, 2015 by Council Member Kai, second by Vice Mayor Post. Passed unanimously 6-0.
A 3 PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2015.013: Relating to Development; approving an
amendment to the Sanders Grove Specific Plan to decrease the area of the Medium-Low Density
Residential land use category from 343.8 acres to 233.5 acres, increase Medium-Density
Residential from 451.7 acres to 536.6 acres, increase Medium-High Density Residential from
31.1 acres to 47.8 acres, increase Commercial from 18.5 acres to 23.1 acres, increase the Open
Space Overlay Zone from 84.8 acres to 90 acres, and to make other revisions (Brian Varney).
Council Member Kai and Vice Mayor Post declared conflicts of interest and left the dais.
Mayor Honea opened the public hearing. Mr. Mahoney presented the amendments beginning
with the location of the property between Marana Road and Interstate 10 to the north and
Sanders Road and Wentz Road to the west on approximately 841 acres. The zoning is per the
specific plan adopted in 2005. There are five different land uses allowed within the
development. The maximum is 2,500 residential units which is approximately 3 units per acre.
The proposal will allow the market to drive the development. It was entitled 10 years ago and
survived the recession. The owner is bringing it back with some flexibility for movement in the
near term. Some safety measures are in place to protect development along Wentz Road. Staff
also will require some diversity of housing types and lot sizes and amenities and has expanded
the language on parks and open space as well as the design standards the town has adopted sine
the plan was adopted in 2005.
He then showed Council a side-by-side comparison of the existing plan to what is being
proposed. One of the major changes is the road network and the decreased medium-low density
(MLDR) to the west. Most of the decrease has shifted to the center of the project which is the
medium density residential. Next he highlighted revisions to the development standards which
May 19,2015 Meeting Minutes 4
include removing restrictions on the percentages of lots that may be developed at or near the
minimum allowed under medium-low and medium density (MDR) residential. The developer is
asking to lift those percentages for more flexibility within each of the zoned districts according
to what the market might demand. Currently the existing MLDR is 6,000 sq. foot minimum, a
maximum of 20% of lots can be less than 7,000 sq. feet, and lots abutting Went Road require a
minimum of 12,000 sq. feet and limited to one story. Proposed changes would be no percentage
restriction on lots at or near the minimum, and lots abutting Wentz Road north of Kirby Hughes
will require a minimum of 12,000 sq. feet and limited to one story. Lots south of Kirby Hughes
require a minimum of 7,000 sq. feet and limited to one story.
Within the MDR in the center of the development, the minimum lot size of 4,500 sq. feet, and a
restriction that can be developed below 6,000 sq. feet. The developer is asking to lift that 35%
restriction. For the MHDR, there were no changes. In the commercial zone district they are
allowed to develop by conditional use with the MHDR standards, and they would like to have
the flexibility to develop in that area as a permitted use using those MHDR standards. So if the
market does not allow for commercial development in there, they could do some of the
residential development, still with the 2,500 unit cap.
Next, Mr. Mahoney discussed the phasing schedule, noting that each phase has a minimum and
maximum number of lots to be developed so that development is distributed throughout the
entirety of the parcel. With respect to additional revisions and key points, language was added
regarding flexibility to the pocket parks. The developer still has to deliver a 20-acre park that
would ultimately be owned by the town and 14 pocket parks. The developer has asked for
flexibility to combine those parks where it would make sense. The language that they have in
their specific plan would increase the level of service. So it would provide ball fields or things
like that if they combine them, and that would be at the town's discretion to allow them.
Secondly, the parcels, should there be any remnant pieces left over after platting the parcels, and
realize there are some areas that don't make sense to develop or don't have a market to develop,
we didn't want to leave those. So they would have to be landscaped, developed as parks, and
maintained by the HOA in perpetuity. Next, each planning area has to have a variety of lot sizes,
so you can't just put the 4,500 sq. foots, the 6,000 sq. foots; you have to have some differing lots
sizes throughout. We do have a development agreement with the owner, and because we've
made changes, ten years has passed, we've updated the major routes plan within the general plan
and changed policy over time, so we'll need to update that at some point. Finally, some of the
development standards have been changed, and those relate to the residential design guidelines.
We're going to bring those current to what we have today. We feel that ours do a better job of
ensuring some of the quality development that we ask for.
Next he introduced the open space concept plan that he mentioned earlier which illustrates that
there are parks contemplated throughout so that each neighborhood — each part of the
May 19,2015 Meeting Minutes 5
development—will have access to a pocket park. The larger regional park in the north part of the
development has a spine trail running to it from Marana Road,
The Planning Commission voted in favor of this plan in April 4-0 with one condition that
detached single family homes along Marana Road be single story. One important thing to
mention is that when the Planning Commission did hear this (he then illustrated with a side by
side comparison of what the Planning Commission recommended and the current proposal) that
MDR was proposed. Since that point in time in discussions with the developer, that was switched
back to what is there currently, which is MLR, reducing the density or at least keeping it the
same as what is currently entitled.
So staff does recommend approval of the plan and wanted to clarify a couple of things. There
are a couple of typographical errors, so when the plan is turned in, those can be amended. Also,
that Condition 414 that allowed the combination of those lots, we had language in there that said
two of the lots could be combined to form a larger park, they (developer) would like the
flexibility to combine more than two if it makes sense. Staff would have to approve that and
make sure that there is still access within one-quarter mile to a trail or a park within walking
distance. They (developer) has asked that the single story restriction along Marana Road get
lifted. Council Member Comerford asked for clarification. Mr. Mahoney responded that he
thought when the Planning Commission heard that, they didn't have all of the information of
what the developments looked like in the area. So, directly across the street, Marana Towne
Center has an entitlement that would allow for both commercial and residential development
down to 6,000 sq. foot lots, and they do not have a single story restriction on that. But more
importantly, there's a 250 foot right of way and then a 95 foot landscape buffer along Marana
Road. So once, you get into the development that far, you've mitigated concerns for having two
story. Those are all the details I wanted to share with you. David Morales spoke as a member
of the public. He stated that this is a case of supply and demand. He's in favor of the
development; however, the only houses up against this are on Wentz Road, and closer to Kirby
Hughes there are ranchettes. He would like Council to take that into consideration on the buffer
and leave it at one story homes. His other concern was that a west wind will bring a cow odor
that residents might complain about, especially those who are not familiar with farming and cow
odors. There were no other speakers. Mayor Honea closed the public hearing.
No questions from the Council. Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 2015.013 as presented by staff
by Council Member Bowen, second by Council Member McGorray. Passed 4-0.
Council Member Comerford commented that she personally thanked Linda Morales and
Gilbert Davidson for coming back to work on this project which had been catastrophic — what
had been done to this. Because we come through a depression or recession or whatever you want
to call it doesn't mean that we have to give away the farm. And it doesn't mean that we're
May 19,2015 Meeting Minutes 6
desperate. What does matter is that we have a plan. A wise mayor from another city said just
because somebody offers something doesn't mean that it's right for you. Yes, we are definitely
development-friendly, but not when somebody mows down something we've worked hard on.
And staff needs to understand that, too. We've got new people, and things that we have worked
very hard on are there for a reason because we've considered current residents, because we've
considered the vision of the Marana. She wanted to do a five-year sunset clause, but she didn't
want to give anyone a heart attack. If there is somebody who wants to come in and build this
project, then let's bring a great project to Marana. And if you're interested in selling a property,
then let us help you sell the property. But don't say one and mean another. We look forward to
developing this property, and hopefully it will be the vision that we had always intended for
Marana.
Vice Mayor Post and Council Member Kai returned to the dais.
A 4 Resolution No. 2015-053: Relating to Public Works; approving and authorizing the
Mayor to execute an intergovernmental agreement between and among Pima County, the City of
Tucson, and the Town of Marana for the design and construction of the Silverbell Roadway
Overlay Project (Ryan Benavides). Presented by Keith Braun for Mr. Benavides.
This is a joint regional project for an overlay of Silverbell Road. This will consist of about a
two-inch overlay on Silverbell from Grant Road to Ina Road. The town's portion of this is
approximately $260K. The project is basically a transition to help Silverbell out until the project
if fully reconstructed as part of the RTA. The first part of the project will be from Grant to Goret
which is being done by the City of Tucson beginning later this year and into 2016. After that,
the main project of Silverbell will take a backseat to the later project of the RTA. There are
other projects going on in the region. Pima County is going to be moving forward with a Sunset
Road connection from Silverbell to the 1-10 interchange, restoring the connection that was
washed out in the 1983 flood. The town's project, the Ina Road TI and bridge over the Santa
Cruz which was the subject of last week's study session by ADOT. That will begin in 2016 as
will the County's project. As soon as the ramps are open again on the Ina interchange, ADOT
will be closing the Ruthrauff interchange. So during all of this construction, Silverbell will be
carrying a lot of traffic as a diversion route over the next few years. That's why everyone is
moving forward to do this overlay. The town had in its capital improvement pavement
preservation program and overlay of Silverbell a couple of years out, but because of this joint
project, we have advanced out project forward to accommodate the other jursidictions.
Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Post, second by Council Member Kai. Passed till taniniously

A 5 Resolution No. SSCFD 2015-01: [Manana Town Council acting as the Saguaro Springs
Community Facilities District Board of Directors]: A Resolution of the District Board of Saguaro
Springs Community Facilities District, a Community Facilities District of Arizona, approving a
tentative budget for fiscal year 2015-2016 pursuant to ARS §48-716; setting a public hearing
date on said tentative budget; filing statements and estimates of the operation and maintenance
expenses of the district, the costs of capital improvements to be financed by the approved ad
valorem tax levy, and the amount of all other expenditures for public infrastructure and enhanced
municipal services proposed to be paid from the tax levy and of the amount to be raised to pay
general obligation bonds of the district, all of which shall be provided for by the levy and
collection of ad valorem taxes on the assessed value of all the real and personal property in the
district; providing for notice of filing the statements and estimates, and notice of a public hearing
on the portions of the statements and estimates not relating to debt service on general obligation
bonds; and providing that this resolution shall be effective after its passage and approval
according to law.
Mr. Montague addressed the Board. By state statute, the district treasurer is required to bring
forward to you a tentative budget for the year on or before July 15 for your consideration. The
estimates are before you and the necessary statements have been filed. The budget does
anticipate the maintenance of the levee for the operations and maintenance portion of $.30 for
every $100 of assessed valuation and dependent upon the nature and timing of any major
acquisition or debt issuance, it may or may not include the $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation
for debt. The budget capacity does contemplate potential significant issuance of debt that would
provide capacity for some developer projects that they may be bringing forward in the near
future. However, if the tentative budget is approved this evening, it does not approve or authorize
the issuance of debt. We would be obligated to bring that back before the Board for approval at
the appropriate time. Should this tentative budget be approved, then we will provide the notice
of the public hearing which would be held June 16, 2015, at which time the Board would
consider the final budget. Vice Chair.Post moved to approve Resolution No. SSCTD 2015-01,
second by Board Member Bowen. Passed unanimously 6-0.
A 6 Resolution No. VFCFD 2015-01: [Manana Town Council acting as the Vanderbilt Farms
Community Facilities District Board of Directors]: A Resolution of the District Board of
Vanderbilt Farms Community Facilities District, a Community Facilities District of Arizona,
approving a tentative budget for fiscal year 2015-2016 pursuant to ARS §48-716; setting a public
hearing date on said tentative budget; filing statements and estimates of the operation and
maintenance expenses of the district, the costs of capital improvements to be financed by the
approved ad valorem tax levy, and the amount of all other expenditures for public infrastructure
and enhanced municipal services proposed to be paid from the tax levy and of the amount to be
raised to pay general obligation bonds of the district, all of which shall be provided for by the
levy and collection of ad valorem taxes on the assessed value of all the real and personal
May 19,2015 Meeting Minutes 8
property in the district; providing for notice of filing the statements and estimates, and notice of a
public hearing on the portions of the statements and estimates not relating to debt service on
general obligation bonds; and providing that this resolution shall be effective after its passage
and approval according to law.
Mr. Montague addressed the Board. By state statute, the district treasurer is required to bring
forward to you a tentative budget for the year on or before July 15 for your consideration. This
included on the required forms. It does include a modest budget for ongoing maintenance
attributable to the district, and a possible expenditure authority for any type of maintenance that
may occur within the district. The current budget does not anticipate the issuance of any debt
or acquisition of any capital major project or infrastructure within the district during the next
year based on the overall activity of the district. But it does contemplate the $.30 for every $100
of assessed valuation for maintenance. Should the tentative budget be approved this evening,
staff will provide the notice of the public hearing which would be held June 16, 2015, at which
time the Board would consider the final budget. Chairman Honea asked if the town would be
reimbursed for cleanup. Mr. Montague responded that there was a reseeding bond that was held
for mitigation. Mr. Cassidy stated that staff did look to use a reseeding bond for that but ended
up not doing that after reviewing the record. We did end up incurring some expenses for
clearing weeds but have not been able to find a source for reimbursement and was not sure we
would be able to charge that against the CFD but it is something we will be looking into.
Vice Chair Post moved to approve Resolution No. VFCFD 2015-01, seeond by Board Member
Bowen. Passed unanimously 6-0.
A 7 Resolution No. GFCFD2 2015-01: [Marana Town Council acting as the Gladden Farms

provided for by the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes on the assessed value of all the real
and personal property in the district; providing for notice of filing the statements and estimates,

forward to you a tentative budget for the year on or before July 15 for your consideration. The
budget before you does contemplate maintaining the operations and maintenance portion of the
levee at $.30 per $100 of assessed valuation based on the overall activity of the district for the

Kai. Passed unanimously 6-0.
A 8 Resolution No. GFCFD 2015-01: [Marana Town Council acting as the Gladden Farms
Community Facilities District Board of Directors]: A Resolution of the District Board of
Gladden Farms Community Facilities District, a Community Facilities District of Arizona,
approving a tentative budget for fiscal year 2015-2016 pursuant to ARS §48-716; setting a public
hearing date on said tentative budget; filing statements and estimates of the operation and
maintenance expenses of the district, the costs of capital improvements to be financed by the
approved ad valorem tax levy, and the amount of all other expenditures for public infrastructure
and enhanced municipal services proposed to be paid from the tax levy and of the amount to be
raised to pay general obligation bonds of the district, all of which shall be provided for by the
levy and collection of ad valorem taxes on the assessed value of all the real and personal
property in the district; providing for notice of filing the statements and estimates, and notice of a
public hearing on the portions of the statements and estimates not relating to debt service on
general obligation bonds; and providing that this resolution shall be effective after its passage
and approval according to law.
Mr. Montague addressed the Board. By state statute, the district treasurer is required to bring
forward to you a tentative budget for the year on or before July 15 for your consideration.
Included is an overall budget which provides for the capacity to issue debt for the purposes of
acquiring public infrastructure within the district. At this time, no specific infrastructure is
anticipated or any debt issuance, merely the capacity. Should a debt issuance be anticipated,
district staff would be obligated to come back to the Board to seek authorization, along with
other required elements. The budget before you does contemplate the maintenance of the existing
rate structure which is $.30 per $100 of assessed valuation as well as the $2.50 per $100 of
assessed valuation for the debt element. Tied to this specific community facilities district is a
standby contribution agreement to protect the citizens within the community, and that allows us
to maintain the overall target rate at the $2.80 that it is currently.
May 19,2015 Meeting Minutes 10
Motion to approve Resolution No. GFCFD 2015-01 by Board Member Bowen, second by Vice
Chair Post. Passed unanimously 6-0.
C 2 Resolution No. 2015-045: Relating to Real Estate; authorizing the Town Manager to
execute an "Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property and Escrow Instructions" with
Reyher Partnership and Marana 348, L.P.; and approving the transfer of up to $1,625,000 in
budgeted expenditure authority from the General Fund Contingency line item to the Land
Acquisition line item for fiscal year 2014-2015 for acquisition and expenses related to the
Reyher Partnership and Marana 348, L.P. land acquisition.
Frank Cassidy stated that this item was erroneously placed on the Consent agenda when it was
intended to be an action item. This is the final formal Council action for the purchase of about
43.2 acres of vacant land in the vicinity of the town hall complex. The price is about $1.6M.
This resolution will also transfer an additional $25K for contingency items that will give us an
opportunity to inspect the property prior to close. That is the ALTA survey, the appraisal that is
being done and also a Phase I environmental study. Under this resolution, it will transfer the
funding out of contingency funds for the purchase and the cost items, and it will authorize the
Town Manager to sign the agreement in substantially the form it's presented to you. All the
blanks will be filled in for the seller's information, but the substantive items will be the same.
There has been a little negotiation back and forth, and there appears to be one last-minute change
where the seller wanted us to finish reviewing our contingencies by June 17, and we are planning
to do that. The closing will happen no later than .lune 22, although it could happen before that if
all of the reports are completed ahead of time. The purchase price is $.85 sq. foot which is less
than any of the deals in this area as were outlined in the background materials. It looks like a
good price to staff and will be backed up by an appraisal by the time we get to closing.
Motion to adopt by Council Member Bowen, second by Council Member Kai. Passed
unanimously 6-0.
