Discussion:
On October 4, 2016, Council adopted Resolution 2016-101 authorizing an
intergovernmental agreement between the Town of Marana and other public agencies to
create an Arizona Child Abduction Response Team (AZCART). The term of the
agreement ended on July 1, 2020.
The primary goal of the Arizona Child Abduction Response Team is to provide a pool of
specialized investigators, who are available to focus dedicated and intensive
investigative, preventative, and general law enforcement efforts, primarily concerning
cases involving abducted or at-risk missing children. AZCART and other Arizona law
enforcement agencies may request and render law enforcement assistance to/from other
AZCART agencies in dealing with serious violations of law including, but not limited to:
the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of those involved in criminal child kidnapping,
abduction, false imprisonment, and similar or related violations (utilizing state and
federal law and prosecutions, as appropriate); the rescue of the abducted child or
children; and the seizure and forfeiture of assets of those engaged in child abduction or
otherwise supporting such activity, utilizing applicable state and federal forfeiture laws,
as may be appropriate.
The agreement addresses the procedures for activation of the CART. Any party to the
agreement can request activation of CART, and the party that has jurisdiction over the
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 6 of 179
incident or investigation will remain as the lead agency with support from other CART
agencies. Under the agreement, all parties are responsible for their own costs. If
approved, the proposed agreement will become effective upon execution by the Town
and filing with the County Recorder and shall remain in effect until June 30, 2025.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2020-107, authorizing the Mayor to
execute the Intergovernmental Agreement for Participation in the Arizona Child
Abduction Response Team.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2020-107, authorizing the Mayor to execute the
Intergovernmental Agreement for Participation in the Arizona Child Abduction
Response Team.

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-108: Relating to Technology Services; approving and
authorizing the Town Manager to execute Subrecipient Agreement Number
20-AZDOHS-HSGP-200404-01 between the Arizona Department of Homeland
Security and the Town of Marana to receive funding for Cybersecurity
Enhancement (Kristin Taft)
Discussion:
The Town of Marana applied to the Arizona Department of Homeland Security
(AZDOHS) for a "Town of Marana Cybersecurity Enhancement" grant. This
cybersecurity enhancement project will allow the Town to better plan for, protect
against, and respond to cybersecurity threats from terrorists. Security measures have
been identified through a comprehensive security gap analysis that aligns with multiple
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frameworks.
The requested hardware and software will significantly enhance our security posture
through a multifaceted approach: implementing NextGen firewalls, multi-factor
authentication, data discovery tools, identity access management system, and using a
Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer. These tools will ensure the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of the Town’s data both internally and while in transit among various
partners in the Southern Arizona region. It will also allow the Town to better recognize
compromised data that originates from our regional partners, and allow us to intervene
and assist them as well.
Within the original grant application, the Town requested all the aforementioned
hardware and software items at an original request of $114,160. The Town of Marana
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 17 of 179
received a subrecipient grant agreement in the amount of $20,000 from the Arizona
Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) for a "Town of Marana Cybersecurity
Enhancement" grant. The awarded $20,000 will be used to purchase and implement 1
additional NextGen Firewall at our network edge and/or on our internal SCADA
network.
The Town is not required to provide match funding under this award. This
Grant Agreement will become effective on October 1, 2020, and will terminate on
September 30, 2021. This is a federal award passed to the Town through the State's
department of Homeland Security.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2021
Budgeted Y/N:Y
Amount:$20,000
Budget appropriation for this grant award is available in the Town's Grants and

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-109: Relating to Addressing; renaming “Bamboo Muhly
Trail” located in Saguaro Bloom Block 7 as “Sand Sage Trail” (Justin Currie)
Discussion:
D.R. Horton, Inc. has submitted a request to change the street name of Bamboo Muhly
Trail located in Saguaro Bloom Block 7A subdivision to Sand Sage Trail. D.R. Horton
Inc. believes that Muhly can be thought of as inappropriate due to it being phonetically
similar to a derogatory term. Section X.040.6 of the Town's Addressing Manual states:
"phonetically unsuitable names shall not be used". In order to comply with the Town's
Addressing Manual, Bamboo Muhly Trail needs to be renamed. There are 70 existing
properties with addresses affected by the renaming of this street; however, all of these
properties are still owned by D.R. Horton, Inc. at this time.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2020-109, renaming of Bamboo Muhly Trail to
Sand Sage Trail.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution 2020-109, renaming Bamboo Muhly Trail to Sand Sage Trail.

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-110; Relating to Capital Improvement Projects; approving
and authorizing the Mayor to sign the Intergovernmental Agreement between
the Pima County Flood Control District and the Town of Marana for
Construction and Maintenance of the Santa Cruz River Path CalPortland
Segment (Frank Cassidy)
Discussion:
By letter dated May 15, 2019, the Pima County Manager indicated that the Pima County
Flood Control District (PCFCD) would be willing to contribute up to $500,000 toward
the construction of the CalPortland segment of the Santa Cruz River Shared Use Path. A
copy of the letter with its enclosures is included in the backup materials to this item.
Town staff has now negotiated the terms of an intergovernmental agreement with the
PCFCD for the $500,000 contribution, which will be payable within 30 days after the
notice to proceed is given to the contractor. Subject to completion of pending
right-of-way acquisition from CalPortland, Town staff anticipates that construction of
the project will begin later this fiscal year.
In addition to the financial contribution, the IGA covers other matters related to the
construction of the project, including a right-of-entry over lands owned by PCFCD to
the extent needed for construction of the project, and identification of ownership and
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 61 of 179
the extent needed for construction of the project, and identification of ownership and
maintenance responsibilities among the parties upon completion of the project. The
CalPortland segment of The Loop is located in unincorporated Pima County, so the
PCFCD will own this segment of the Loop after completion of the project. However, the
Town will maintain this portion of The Loop upon completion of the project. Under a
separate IGA with PCFCD and Pima County, the Town maintains the portions of The
Loop located north of Ina Road.

positive test rate of 60% of the members. Additionally, one of the fraternities also tested
high among its members.
MANAGER’S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS
Town Manager Jamsheed Mehta reported on the following items:
• Parks and Recreation
o Marana Parks and Recreation capped off a very successful Swim Season
about 10 days ago with their final event, which was a Dive -In Movie. It
concluded the summer season.
o Fall Recreation Programming is now available for online registration.
Enrollments are filling up fast. We have 4 5 diverse programs ranging from
yoga and fitness classes, painting, horse camp, and many other fun
activities.
• Community Development and Neighborhood Services
o Animal Services Vaccination Clinic: We are holding a vaccination clinic for
dogs on October 3, 2020 from 9:00AM – 11:30AM, here at the MMC. Animal
Services Spay and Neuter Clinic: The clinic will be held on Saturday,
October 10, 2020 at the Marana Community Center at the Ora Mae Harn
Park.
• HR Department: Flu Vaccine Clinic
o Marana’s HR Dept is holding flu vaccination clinics for Town Employees
on September 30, 2020 at the MOC and October 1, 2020 at MMC by
appointment only. This is a special effort coming from the Governor’s
Office that this year is an especially unique one. Symptoms associated with
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 98 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
COVID-19 and those symptoms that are associated with influenza have
much in common. The vaccination is for employees and Council.
• COVID-19 Update
o As it pertains to businesses reopening around the state, AZ overall is in the
“Mode rate” transmission category, as well as Pima County. We have not
reached the minimal level at this time. He had previously explained in the
difference; however, we could be very shortly in the minimal category as
well which would then allow the Town to do a few more things. This will
not just be for the private sector (bars, gyms and restaurants); the rules for
those types of businesses will be relaxed, as well as some of the Town’s
operations. Overall, 12 counties are meeting requirements to open. 10 are in
the “Moderate” category and 2 are in the “Minimal” category.
o The Town is currently in the 2A phase. As we identify in the minimal
category, at the state and Pima County level, we will also move into the
next phase of our Return-to-work schedule once the County moves into
the “minimal” category.

BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
COUNCIL ACTION
A1 PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2020.010 : Relating to Development; approving
an amendment to the Pima Farms North Specific Plan – Villas at Sombrero Peak to add
approximately 0.68 acres of land to the specific plan boundary with a land use
designation of Village Core – Commercial (C) located at 8861 N. Continental Reserve
Loop, approximately 250 feet south of Silverbell Road, on the west side of Continental
Reserve Loop (Cynthia Ross)
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 100 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Resolution No. 2020-104: Relating to Development; declaring as a public record
filed with the Town Clerk the amended Pima Farms North Specific Plan – Villas at
Sombrero Peak adopted by Ordinance No. 2020.010 (Cynthia Ross)
[6:20 PM Minutes] Mayor Honea opened the public hearing to receive testimony on this
item.
Senior Planner Cynthia Ross provided a PowerPoint presentation overview of this item.
(A copy of the presentation is available in the Town Clerk’s Office for review.) She explained this
is a rezoning application to amend the Pima Farms North Villas at Sombrero Peak specific
plan to include approximately 0.68 acres to the specific plan bound ary with a land use
designation of Village Core Commercial. The 1.42 -acre subject property located at 8861
North Continental Reserve Loop has two different land use designations and two
different specific plans. Village Core – Commercial in north 0.74-acre portion of the
property located in the Pima Farms North Specific Plan Villas at Sombrero Peak Specific
Plan and medium-high density residential in the southern 0.68 -acre portion of the
property located in the Pima Farms Specific Plan.
The purpose of this amendment is to remove the land use designation in the southern
portion of the property currently within the Pima Farms Specific Plan and include with
a Pima Farms North Villas at Sombrero Peak Specific Plan, so that the entire parcel has
one single land use designation subject to the development regulations and guidance of
a single specific plan versus two.
The split land use designation occurred when this acreage was platted in 2016 as Lot 3 of
Continental Crossing (Lots 1-4). No other changes are pro posed with this amendment.
The development standards and zoning conditions outlined in the Pima Farms North
Villas at Sombrero Peak Specific Plan will remain. Staff has received the two (2) phone
calls one (1) email inquiry and 21 letters of opposition. T he concerns expressed are related
to the applicant’s ultimate proposed use to the property as a self -storage business.
This request is for rezoning specific plan amendment. The development of a self -storage
facility at this site will require approval of a conditional use permit by the Planning
Commission, and Council. Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2020.010,
approving an amendment to the Pima Farms North Specific Plan Sombrero Peak to add
approximately 0.68 acres to the specific plan boundary with the land use designation of
Village Core Commercial, and adoption of Resolution 2020.104, declaring the amended
Pima Farms North Specific Plan Villas at Sombrero Peak adopted by Ordinance No.
2020.010, as a public record to be filed with the Town Cle rk.
Nancy Phillips spoke in opposition to this project stating she is a member of the HOA
Board for Sierra Ridge and resident on the Sweet River Road, which is the community
and streets in Continental Reserve most affected by this rezoning proposal. Whil e the
Planning Commission is recommending rezoning of this portion of the plot on Coachline
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 101 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
just west of Silverbell from medium-high density residential to commercial. We would
like to point out several important considerations against us from proposal.
There are other commercial properties at the corner of Silverbell and Coachline. These
properties are not within one to two miles of any residential homes. This plot if it is
rezoned commercial, there will be only a 100 -foot easement separating the comme rcial
property from the back fences of the homeowner’s properties on Sweet River Road. If
this part is rezone commercial, it will directly interfere with the school down at
Rattlesnake Ridge Elementary, as it is less than two blocks from the school. She
commented on the traffic pattern along Coachline, and stated residents were not
informed of the rezoning.
[6:23 PM Minutes] Mayor Honea closed the public hearing to testimony.
Council Member Ziegler moved and Vice Mayor Post second the motion approving
Ordinance No. 2020.010 Relating to Development; approving an amendment to the Pima
Farms North Specific Plan – Villas at Sombrero Peak to add approximately 0.68 acres of
land to the specific plan boundary with a land use design ation of Village Core –
Commercial (C) located at 8861 N. Continental Reserve Loop, approximately 250 feet
south of Silverbell Road, on the west side of Continental Reserve Loop. Motion passes
unanimously, 7-0.
A2 Ordinance No. 2020.011: Relating to Anne xation; annexing into the corporate
limits of the Town of Marana that territory known as the La Puerta Del Norte East
Annexation, approximately 45.30 acres of land located south of Coachline Boulevard in
the east half of Section 17, Township 12 South, Rang e 12 East; approving a plan to provide
the annexed territory with appropriate levels of infrastructure and services to serve
anticipated new development; and establishing original Town of Marana zoning (Frank
Cassidy)
Town Attorney Frank Cassidy provided a brief overview of this item stating this is the
final step in the La Puerta Del Norte East Annexation process. He explained this is the
last step in the annexation process for the La Puerta Del Norte East Annexation. He
reminded Council of the progress since the last meeting. Pima County Board of
Adjustment granted the variance last Thursday, which allows the 150 -unit development
proposed by KB Home. He acknowledged KB Home representatives present Rory
Juneman, (Briana Rader) and Kelly Lee are here in case you have questions about the
project.
The County Board of Supervisors approved the IGA related to the open space, which
Council had adopted previously. The petitions that the Town received and signed by
Mayor Honea since we owned property in the area. CMID the contract purchasers and
one of the two utility companies they were all recorded at the Pima County Recorder's
office. The only signature we did not obtain was CenturyLink. They have some centrally
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 102 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
assessed property in there , and you just cannot get CenturyLink to sign anything. He
does not think they have an objection to the annexation.
The Town have completed all the steps necessary for the annexation ordinance to adopt
original rezoning for the property. The original zoning that is presented in this ordinance
for most of the prope rty is Town of Marana R -3.5. Town of Marana R -3.5 would allow
one house per 3,500 square feet. The minimum lot size for these lots is actually 4,800
square feet, and there is a maximum number of units of 150. Pima County Board of
Adjustment set the variance since we are just translating over the zoning from the county.
We carry those same conditions over it also includes single story restrictions for the
homes.
There are a couple of parts of the property being annexed that are zoned differently. The
Town's well site in the corner that this southeast 125 square feet of the property is actually
zoned in the county RD -- basically the same as our RD-180, 180,000 square foot minimum
lot size to work over that zoning for that apiece. A little piece of the right-of-way is zoned
in the county what is known as GR, General R ural, which requires one house for 36,000
square feet it is meaningless. To zone right-of-away, there is a small piece of right-of-
away zoned R-36 in the Town of Marana under this ordinance.
Mayor Honea opened the meeting to receive public comments on this item and the
following individuals provided comments.
Donna Adams submitted email comments in opposition to this item. She cited several
examples to her opposition including El Rio Bird Sanctuary Preserve, historical and
cultural sites, potential increase of water for the new subdivision, wildlife in the area, and
respecting natural and historic s ites.
Bill Ohl spoke in opposition to this item. He commented on Linda Vista, and that they
lost the fight on the thoroughfare into and out of the property area. His concern is that he
does not believe the archaeological park is on the radar of the Marana staff, as well as
having Linda Vista moved back 20 to 30 ft. so to provide a buffer into the archaeological
park.
Council Member Ziegler responded to Mr. Ohl comments thanking him for his input
that he had provided in these last couple of months. She h as read every bit of it, and
almost all of it she agree s with except for his comments this evening. She commented on
the drainage stating Mr. Ohl was privy to the meeting. She and Mayor Honea had met
with the group couple of weeks ago at La Puerta Del Norte. Joy White showed us
incredible drainage pictures or a lack of built in that area. She referenced the photos of
the recent rain event that delivered two to three (2 -3) feet of water stati ng she was shocked
over the photos, and believe Mayor Honea was as well.
It was coming down Los Monteros and coming across the street through Sunflower and
is coming out of that well. There are holes whereby the rainwater goes through and
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 103 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
creates unbelievable flooding on that street. This has nothing to do with the KB Homes.
She clarified that KB Homes will install its own retaining wall to meet its own retention
requirements for that land.
Council Member Ziegler continued stating this is past flooding. Marana staff and Pima
County Flood Control, Rory's Group, KB Homes, all had a meeting and surveyed the
area, and noticed how bad it is. To her knowledge based upon receiving weekly updates,
they are moving forward to do some drainage mitigation in that area. So we got some
good heads together, they have some good ideas on how to stop that. She acknowledged
that Mr. Ohl may feel as though he is experiencing the first push back from the town and
others, as the County Flood Control has indicated that it is not right. She thanked Mr.
Ohl for his comments.
She stated as personal privilege, she would be voting no on this item as she has in the
past.
Vice Mayor Post moved and Council Member Bowen second the motion to adopt
Ordinance No. 2020.011 approving the La Puerta Del Norte East Annexation; approving
a plan to provide the annexed territory with appropriate le vels of infrastructure and
services; and adopting original Town of Marana zoning for the annexed property.
Motion passes, 6 Yays 1 Nay (Ziegler)
Mayor Honea stated he and Council Member Ziegler were reviewing this video on a
phone. Those roads in La Puerto Del Norte are set up for drainage. They are lower than
the houses. The problem was there was some considerable work done on the north side
by the county. It created a blockage where the roads could run all the way through and
drain. It just stayed in the road. The roads are set up. The road in front of his house set
up for drainage. It just drains slower.

Standard Detail 100-7 for “Ranchette Street” and accompanying Marana Subdivision
Street Standards Manual text (Keith Brann)
Mr. Cassidy stated Town Engineer Keith Brann gave a presentation on this essentially
what we are looking at here is a very limited purpose road. It is a situation where if a
developer has a 10-lot or fewer subdivision with the lots that are 3.3 acres or larger, and
it is a private dead -end street, they can use this lesser standard. It is much less expensive
approach to doing a subdivision. It was inspired by the fact that Potter Ranch, which we
had approved out on Luckett Road, they had existing roads that had served them well
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 104 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
for many years. The y came in with a plat, and we felt that it did not make a lot of sense
to have them rebuild asphalt pave very expensive roads for that area. It would
completely change the character that development. This allows is in a very limited set of
circumstances where you are not expecting more than 100 trips a day on this road. The
developer of the subdivision can develop without asphalt paving. It has a special cross
section, obviously, once you get to a drainage way it had to be armored on both sides.
The Town recommends approval of this item.
Council Member Kai asked Mr. Cassidy who would assume responsibility for future
maintenance on these substandard roads? Is the Town going to have to come in or the 10 -
acre who respond for?
Mr. Cassidy responded stating this only applies to private road. It has to be HOA
maintain. They would have to create an HOA or a joint maintenance agreement among
the lot owners. If they ever had more lots go on to the property or wanted to turn it over
to the Town of Marana and they would have to then rebuild the road to the town
standards before the town would accept it.
Council Member Kai moved and Council Member Officer second the motion adopting
Ordinance No. 2020.012 and Resolution No. 2020 -105, adding Marana Standard Detail

A4 Resolution No. 2020-106: Relating to Development; approving a devel opment plan
for Home 2 Suites by Hilton at Cortaro Ranch located north of Cortaro Farms Road and
west of Cerius Stravenue (Brian D. Varney)
Senior Planner Brian Varney provided an overview of Resolution No. 2020-106 related
to a development plan for Home 2 Suites by Hilton at Cortaro Ranch located north of
Cortaro Farms Road and west of Cerius Stravenue. He stated this is a request for
approval of a development plan for Home 2 Suites by Hilton, which is a four-story, 111-
room hotel. This propose for the Cortaro Ranch Phase II commercial development.
Cortaro Ranch Phase II is located to the south of the Cortaro Ranch residential
development. We currently have some development t here now with the Micro Hospital.
We have the Dutch Brothers and commercial suite located in there. The Home 2 Suites
Hotel is proposing the very northwest corner of this project.
The Planning Commission and the Town Council typically would not see deve lopment
plans, but there is a condition in the rezoning ordinanc e from 1995-30. There is
requirement that the P lanning Commission make a recommendation on the Town
Council to approve development plans and plats. Therefore, the Town is bringing
forward this item for Council consideration.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 105 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
There was a development plan for this area that was approved on April 2, 2019.
However, at the time, the development plan was not considering a four -story hotel. The
hotel has been off again, on again project for this area at some one point in time. It was
located just west of the Micro Hospital site and then it came off the developmen t plan.
When the Town Council approved the development plan, the hotel is not in on the board,
it was not in place.
The Town wanted to bring this back to Council, because the land uses are changing out
there. Staff did not want the Council to be surprised when they see a four -story hotel
being constructed on the site that was not originally approved for that site approve
knowing that the site would be coming. The hotel is proposed. It does meet the zoning.
The zoning is Village Commercial it does allow for hotels. It also allows for a maximum
building height of 50 feet. This is a four-story hotel, which is proposed at 50 feet. It does
meet the Town’s Development Standards it also means that sounds design requirements.
The Town would go through a process of improvement plans and construction
documents between now and the time they actually start constructing . However, the
Town is asking for approval for the development plan to solidify this new use. There has
been some concern recently about the proximity of the hotel building the structure to the
ne arby residential. He continued explaining the location of the hotel site (as provided on
the PowerPoint slide), and the location of the building is actually will be between 50 and
56 feet from the corner of the nearest residential lot. The house on that lot is an additional
70 feet in, and so the buildings are separate d by roughly 125 feet.
Mr. Varney stated the applicant has gone to great le ngth to orient the building on the site
so that it does have minimal impact on visibility and decrease intrusiveness to the
neighborhood. The building has been positioned in such a way that along the gated parts
of the building, the longer parts face of Cortaro and their facing the interstate while the
narrow or part of the building is actually facing the residential subdivision. The building
has been pulled as far away as they can reasonably from the property line. There is a 40 -
foot special buffer required for commercial uses such a residential . In these zones, they
are meeting as well as exceeding. There is a 40-fo ot buffer in there actually providing 55
feet.
The elevations for the hotel are provided in the agenda packet. This is a very highly
acclaimed product for the Hilton line, and are proud of this product. T hey equated to
equal to or better than the Hampton. The Town believes this is going to be a great
addition to the town.
With this product, they will be constructing Joplin Lane. Joplin Lane has a dedicated
right-of-away to the Town through the platting process. Joplin will be constructed along
with this project, so that the road will open at the same time as the hotel. There is
condition in the development agreement in terms of timing of when the road construction
needed to begin and when it needed to be completed by. Right now, they are two months
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 106 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
into the six-month process of beginning the construction . Then will have six months to
complete it.
Accessibility of the driveway through the center of the project that comes off Cerius
Stravenue. In a conversation with the master developer, they could be submitting plans
for buildings on Cerius Stravenue in October. The Town should see those coming shortly ,
as the road will be extended and be closer to Joplin lane.
Building heights 50 feet, which is both VC and allow the VC does those commercial, as it
allows for the use . Town staff is in full support of it. He noted that the L egal Department
in an adjustment to the Resolution that i s provided in the staff report. He inadvertently
omitted a paragraph. Therefore, a paragraph was added that pertains to the rezoning
that occurred in March of 2019. Those changes provided the Town the opportunity to
permit 5.5 acres where half of this project is located . It was LI Light Industrial and R -8
and was tidy up to VC. That paragraph will be added to the resolution, as well as, adding
a paragraph that states of this project straddles the line of 2019 zoning clean up and the
1995 rezoning of the original rezoning.
Mayor Honea opened this item to receive public comments, and the following
individuals either submitted public comments to the Town or spoke in person regarding
this item.
Debbie LeBlanc submitted comments in opposition of this item stating she nor her
husband wish to see any hotel built at this locat ion. She expressed concerns for the values
of her home as well as a lack of privacy.
Michael Coronado submitted comments in opposition of this item expressing concerns
for the lack of privacy if the hotel is there.
Jason Southard submitted comments in opposition of this item. He expressed concerns
with the four-story hotel being located in a residential area, reduced privacy, additional
noise from traffic during normal business hours, and the possibility of increased crime in
the area.
Jovan (no last name provided) submitted comments in opposition of this item expressing
concerns over lack of notification by the Town, and the possible increase of crime.
Deanie Rodriguez submitted comments in opposition of this item citing concerns with
the number of stories of the proposed hotel, increased crime and noise pollution.

Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Manny Eugenio submitted comments in opposition to this item. He expressed concerns
with privacy and possible increase in crime.
Mayor Honea closed the public comment on this item.
Council Member Comerford asked who would be paying for the right -of-way on Joplin.
Mr. Varney deferred to Mr. Cassidy and asked that he reply to the Council Member’s
question. He believes the developer is paying for the entire cost of the road. Mr. Cassidy
stated it is not the d eveloper of the hotel, rather the developer of the subdivision. The
Town has a development agreement with them, and they are required to build the road.
Council Member Kai stated Joplin Lane is the lane that is underneath the big power lines.
He asked whether they were able to get those agreements worked out. It is not dedicated
road; the neighbors back there are using it. How is the hotel going to handle that?
Mr. Cassidy replied stating the current dirt road for Joplin Lane is on a license that is
granted by TEP under the power lines. The current driveway connection of Joplin Road
to Cortaro Road was on TEP Land. The developer of the Cortaro Ranch Commercial
Development acquired a little triangle at that c orner from TEP. The road is going to be
shifted a bit eastward. There is a 30-foot area dedicated by the plat for Joplin Lane that
goes along Cortaro Ranch Commercial. Once it gets to De Anza, the De Anza plat
dedicated a 30-foot right-of-way. There will be a right-of-way, and Joplin Lane will be
placed in permanent right-of-way in this area. Further north, the Town or somebody
else , is going to have to shift Joplin Lane into De Anza right-of-way and the n north of
that will need to continue constructing it further north. In this area, it will be a permanent
right-of-way.
Council Member Kai asked whether the hotel would use the existing private property
where the medical center is and Dutch Boy Coffee coming into Joplin Lane.
Mr. Cassidy replied stating he believe d so, as it appears from the layout that there are
parking area access lanes that go through the entire development. One can travel from
Cerius to that parking area access lane that se parates between south of the medical center,
the Micro Hospital , and then you can head westward. He would assume that if you exit
the freeway, that would be the logical way to go. Although once you get to the west edge,
he thinks you are probably going to jump onto Joplin Lane and head to the northwest up
to the hotel.
Council Member Kai it seems when ADOT does the upgrade on Cortaro Farms Road,
Joplin Lane will probably go away, and will be a tough deal there.
Mr. Varney replied stating Joplin Lane , as stated by Mr. Cassidy, Joplin Lane is a straight
shot back to the hotel, but they will eventually be connecting to the internal access . We
do not know what will happen on the southernmost blocks six there, but if the idea is to
bring access in both ways.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 108 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Mayor Honea stated his project dates back so far that he and Council Member Kai were
the only two people involved with the town at that time. Council Member Comerford
and Council Member Ziegler both came within about six months of this project or to the
Planning Commission. The biggest complaint in the early days was not the retail or the
commercial it was housing. People thought the schools would be over run and that it
was going to be horrib le. It is a beautiful community. He has walked through there a
few times.
Council Member Ziegler referenced the traffic asking how far on Joplin Lane, will they
fix the road.
Mr. Varney replied stating they have only dedicated the right -of-way to the north
property boundary. They are only responsible for construction the front the road along
there frontage. Council Member Ziegler stated she understands.
Mr. Varney stated as Mr. Cassidy mentioned, we have to get some right-of-way between
De Anza that has dedicated right-of-way. There is a small section there in-between the
Marana Center, which Camino de Oeste was coming down from Linda Vista to meet up
on the middle. We are going to have to come up with some right-of-way and their
through various processes.
Council Member Ziegler stated she is okay with that. This is great, and she like d the
location. She wants to ensure we have a second ary access to the facility when this is built.
Mr. Varney replied stating the Town will ensure that there is. This is a conceptual plan,
but the idea is to provide drive all the way to the hotel from down in internal for the site.
If it is the Council's pleasure. Council Member Ziegler inquired as to the timeframe to
build the hotel.
Sam Catanese is with the Thompson Thrift Master Development Group that is
developing the hotel . They are currently in the ne gotiation phases with Thompson Thrift
on exactly when we would break ground on this. They wanted to obtain the approval of
Council to move forward, so that they can move forward with the actual plans of the
project.
Council Member Ziegler asked whether it would be completed within one year. Mr.
Catanese replied stating yes. Given the state of affairs in the world with COVID-19,
lenders are not that happy with lending on anything right now especially hospitality.
However, they were expecting that to change towards the end of this year. They would
expect to probably be breaking ground at the very first part of 2021.
Mr. Catanese stated this would be a 10 to 12 months construction period. Council
Member Ziegler stated she likes the project. Mr. Catanese stated they developed a
number of Hilton projects in Phoenix and in other parts of the country, and Hilton had
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 109 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
asked us if we would be interested in doing this product here. There is only one other
Home 2 Suites that is slated for Tucson area right now, and will be in the downtown area.
Mayor Honea stated he agrees with Council Member Ziegler on the ingress/egress, as
Joplin Lane is a right in and right out roadway. There will not be a left side entry or exit
on Joplin Lane. The secondary access is going to be important. Mr. Catanese stated he
agrees with Council 100%.
Mayor Honea stated unless the Council changes at Cortaro as our number one Highway
I-10 interchange to be redone --either similar to Ina or Orange Grove either over or under
whatever works better there. There may be some ingress /egress problems with Joplin
Lane when that happens and we are going to need a good access to get to the property.
Mr. Catanese stated he agrees 100%.
Council Member Kai questioned the number of hotel rooms slated for the property. He
asked Mr. Catanese whether the 111-room hotel was correct. Mr. Catanese stated yes.
Council Member Kai asked whether the number could be scaled down. Mr. Catanese
replied stating that is their typical prototypes , and it is that way based on economics.
Council Member Bowen commented on some of the emails that Council had received
related to this project. Some people have commented that they do not want windows
and balconies facing their yards or homes. From reviewing the drawings and listening
to Mr. Catanese that this is not going to be the case. This is going to be the end of a hotel.
The windows and the outlooks are going to be facing parallel to the homes, not at facing
the homes. Somebody mentioned that the clientele was going to be bad. This is a very,
very nice project and a nice area. He appreciates the developer be ing as accommodating
as possible with the surrounding homeowners. This is further away from the homes than
the original site was and it is as good as we are going to get, and it is adequate.
For those who have voiced objections to this project , it is been set up here several times.
This project has been on the books here for many, many years. This is not something that
was thrown together in the last six months and nobody had any idea was coming. It has
been there. When you buy a home, you have to investigate what is going on around you.
That is just the way it is. There are no guarantees over vacant space and the vacant land
around you. You need to find o ut what is there if you are concerned about it. This is a
very nice project, and he will vote in favor of it.
Council Member Bowen moved and Council Member Ziegler second the motion
approving Resolution No. 2020-106, a development plan for Home 2 Suites by Hilton at
Cortaro Ranch. Motion passes unanimously, 7 -0.
A5 Ordinance No. 2020.013: Relating to Finance; exempting two Habitat for
Humanity Tucson, Inc. projects from certain Town of Marana development and building
fees in a total amount of up to $40,000 (Heath Vescovi -Chiordi)
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 110 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Mayor Honea recused himself from deliberating on this item, as he has a conflict of
interest.
Assistant to the Town Manager Heath Vescovi-Chiordi provided before Council to
discuss a couple of affordable housing projects here in the Town of Marana specifically
in the Honea Heights area and a subsequent request for a waiver on certain permit and
review fees for the town.
Just a brief description of the projects, we have two of them. We refer to the Sandy Street
Project and the other one is the Whitney Lane Project. Sandy Street is parts of land owned
by Habitat for Humanity. They would be splitting that l ot into two and building two
homes on it. The Whitney Lane Project is currently 12 -lots and they would submit a
replat to put it to 10 lots and build one new home on each lot between both of the projects.
You would have 12 affordable homes built by Habitat in the Honea Heights Colonia.
I believe the project time line for both of the projects is as follows : acquisition of the
Whitney Lane Project is happening at this time. He believes they Habitat will acquire the
land within 30 days from today. They already own the Sandy Street Project lot. From
that particular point on they plan to pull permits beginning in January of 2021 for
concrete, for the foundations in March of 2021 and begin construction in earnest
immediately thereafter through January of 2022. It is our hop e that Habitat will have
people in the homes between March and September of 2022.
He noted multiple benefits to this type of project in the area noted. First and foremost, it
will increase the inventory of affordable housing that we have within the Town of
Marana, which is a benefit overall to the community. During the time of COVID-19 and
after, this will help individuals who have had issues in finding affordable housing or who
have suffered financial hardship to find a home in the future. Lastly, it will certainly
contribute to the increase in quality of the Honea Heights area, which is a direct benefit
to the town and aligns with our efforts to improve all of our Colonia throughout the town.
He continued providing examples of past fee waivers that the Town approved stating the
most recent one would be in October of 2019 . The Town Council passed an ordinance that
waived up to $30,000 worth of permit review fees for the Sol Dog Lodge, which is on the
east side of the Interstate 10 on Tangerine Road at the Tangerine Business Park. Before
that, similar arrangements were made with MHC Healthcare as well as the Marana
Community Food Bank in 2008 and 2016, respectively. Both agreements included either
exemption from fees in the Town's Comprehensive Fee Schedule or the Town
participated financially to assist in mitigating the financial burden of those fees that they
would have had to pay. He believes the food bank was exempted from fees . With MHC,
the Town contributed about $200,000 in the beginning of the development of the project.
These non-profit organizations were considered for a few reasons. Number one, they
will be providing invaluable services to the region, to the community specifically to the
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 111 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
residents of the Town of Marana. They contribute considerably to increasing economic
diversity and development as well as quality of life within our community. They a lign
with the Town Strategic P lan in the same manner as Habitat for Humanity. There exists
a large opportunity for partne rship in the future between the Town and Habitat.
If approved by Council, it would include wa iving development and permit related fees
including in the Town of Marana is a Comprehensive Fee Schedule with the exclusion of
any fee paid into an Enterprise Fund as well as impact fees. Those two would not be
included in this type of waiver. After we did significant internal research and discussion
of applicable development and permit related fees, it was concluded that a waiver of up
to $40,000 would help facilitate the completion of both of the projects and offer maximum
financial benefit to Habitat for Humanity to complete this project.
From the slides, the Town has reviewed a few examples of the fee types although this
does not include every single applica ble fee that might be waived or that they could
essentially charge against if they were to get this waiver. The fees span multiple
departments and divisions including Development Services, Engineering, Building
Safety and others. It is important to note that although they would have the waiver and
they would still be subject to every review that they would normally be by the Town of
Marana. They have to go through Marana’s typical Development Review Process .
At this particular point, we estimated the permit and review fees for Whitney Lane to be
approximately $43,000 and Sandy Street permit fees are approximately $16,000. Habitat
will be applying for the use of two othe r programs Council passed in 2006, and later
amended in 2011 for reli ef from similar type fees as well as other fees. One such program
is the Affordable Housing Revolving Loan Fund that assists with c overing permit review
related fees similar to how this waiver would.
The other one is the Colonia Waiver Program, assists in paying for impact fees that they
would be charged during the development. It i s important to note that with the Colonia
Waiver Program any impacts fee funds is made whole . Cu rrently there is $108,000 in that
fund. If they were to be accepted to use this program, essentially what would happen if
there is a Northwest Parks Impact Fee and it costs $10,000. Ten thousand dollars ($10,000)
would be transferred from the Colonial Waiver P rogram into the appropriate funds for
the funds are always made hold.
Impact fees for Whitney Lane are estimated to be $51,000 to $52,000 and the impact fee
for Sandy Street is about $31,000. They would submit a different request that is
administratively approved for the Colonial Waiver Program. Essentially, that is not
something that comes to Council.
The Marana Affordable Housing Loan Fund has $17,000. Essentially, what this would
do is if they apply and they receive that would cover all of the expenses that are related
to the Sandy Street Project, which would remain the $43,000 in Permit Review Fees for
Whitney Lane. This waiver would approximately take care of that is a little b it of give
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 112 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
and take when it comes to that. We did not come to $43,000 because we believe there are
some ways that we can make it work internally whether or not exceeding significant out
of money that they would have to expect.
Mr. Vescovi-Chiordi acknowledged T. VanHook from Habitat for Humanity, Director
of Community Services Lisa Schafer, and Mr. Mehta who can answer any questions
from the Council.
Vice Mayor Post welcomed T. VanHook back in the Chambers.
Council Member Kai asked whether the timeline for Whitney Lane construction would
be starting the south side or north side and what the total timeline for build out for the
homes.
T. VanHook stated the 10 units on Whitney or all on one side of the street and we would
start them simultaneously and complete them probably in a row . She is not sure which
direction they would go, but we would start on Lot 1 or Lot 10 and then move our way
through. All of the slabs with the ports simultaneously. If they a re lucky, can do all of
the wall raisings in a single day. Currently conditions only allow to have 10 volunteers at
the time.
Council Member Kai asked how long it take to build the homes two or three years. Ms.
VanHook replied it would be one year. Once permits are pul led, they will begin with
concrete and start construction probably in April or May of 2021. She hopes this project
is completed before she retires on June 30, 2022.
Council Member Ziegler stated it would be an honor for us to waive fees for Habitat for
Humanity. It is an emotional thing to see the new homeowner take possession of those
homes and having a home. After much sweat equity on the homeowner part, and other
criteria they have to do and classes to qualify those homes , it is a great project.
Vice Mayor Post stated a number of years ago we worked on a project that was on the
north side of the bank protection, right on that area. He asked what happened with that
project, was it dropped . He asked whether there is still grant funding for the possibility
of the project.
Ms. VanHook replied stating there are three items that three items that I would see
having issues on that property. Number 1, the federal funding went away because of the
Pima County match through the bond projects and that how to do it water wastewater
worse. Number 2, it was not disclosed during the original environmental that the cars
were buried there is bank protection. That was discovered some years after and in 2014
it was discovered when someone started excavatin g to sell the metal is strapped to a
purchase. That was never disclosed during the environmental. Those cars would need
to be excavated and that lands remediated , in her opinion, before Marana would be able
to put any federal dollars to that property.

Mr. Cassidy provi ded an overview of Resolution No. 2020 -099 related to the final plat for
Linda Vista Village at Cascada, Village I (Lots 1 -39), Village II (Lots 1-93), Village III (Lots
1-131), Blocks I-VII, and Common Areas “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “G”, and “H”
located southeast of Twin Peaks Road and north and south of Linda Vista Boulevard; and
approving and authorizing the Mayor to sign the Linda Vista Village TEP Easement
Agreement. The reason I asked for this to be on the action part of the agenda has to do
with the very last phrase of what Ms. Lawson just read, which is the authorization of and
the approval of the Linda Vista Village TEP Easement Agreement that goes along with
this. He wanted to discuss that element because it does deal with some real property
issues.
Around the Marana Center, the Town of Marana owns the drainage way. TEP would
like to put its facilities within the south edge of that drainage way, south of Marana
Center to serve eastward over to Linda Vista Village. It is 600 feet or so of stretch of
property. The Town of Marana agreed to allow TEP to place its stuff on Marana’s
property. TEP said they were not willing just to go within Marana’s property. If we just
put our stuff in your property, and for a ny reason those facilities must be moved in the
future, TEP must pay for those relocation costs. Marana said, yes, exactly. That is why
we would like to have you go in there pursuant to your franchise rights , as Town staff
referred to it that way. TEP said they did not want to do that.
He spoke with (Larry Crease) and said, Larry, we have a little bit of a problem here. TEP
is asking the Town of Marana for an easement . If we give them an easement and those
facilities ever have to be relocated , the Town of Marana has to pay to relocate. In other
words, TEP wants to change position so they have prior rights in the -- my business we
call it prior rights. The Town will now have to pay those relocation costs and that is just
not acceptable.
Trouble is from (Larry Crease) is perspective; he does not have the authority to condemn
private property to acquire an easement for TEP. TEP is not going to acquire in an
easement through condemnation to serve (Mr. Crease’s) property. He had a negotiation
with (Mr. Crease) to see what could be done. Mr. Crease agreed to step in as the
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 114 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
developer to pay any future relocation c ost. His reactions were that is great. However, as
soon as you (Mr. Crease), is gone what happens then. They came up with an agreement
that (Mr. Crease), signs but it is binding on the HOA. The concern, how do you keep the
HOA knowing consistently that it has this commitment. How do you know, when the
fees have to be paid after sitting in a drawer for 25 years? We need to have them pay for
relocation cost. The HOA would then ask what agreement the Town is referring too.
Mr. Cassidy stated they came up with this idea of charging $500 a year, as it is enough
whereby the HOA will notice. The HOA will pay $500 every year as long as we do not
have to relocate the facil ities that becomes general revenue of the Town’s $500. If we ever
do have to relocate, we go ahead and give them credit against all those $500 per year that
we had collected all those years just to make it fair. In all likelihood knowing where this
is in that channel on the south edge of this channel. It is almost certain that the facilities
are not going to need to be moved, but nothing is positive in life. We want to ensure the
Town is not on the hook for that relocation costs.
He continued stating he wanted to mention that TEP does this all the time to Marana.
This is not going to be the only time this happens . There will be this type and other
situations where TEP will ask to come in to our right-of-way some place. They always
have the same reaction. This is an opportunity for Council to weigh in on it before we use
this as a template on other projects.
Council Member Kai asked as far as maintenance on that right-of-way at Tucson Electric
will be putting their pos t, would Tucson Electric maintain the area with removal of the
weeds.
Mr. Cassidy replies stating actually in that vicinity, the facilities are underground . No
Marana staff will maintain the drainage way of weeds and various other things . When
TEP constructs its facility, they will h ave to put it underground.
Mayor Honea stated the Town should charge them a lease agreement or something
similar for putting in on Marana’s right-of-way.
Council Member Comerford asked if TEP did not have Marana’s land to place it upon,
where would TEP then go. Mr. Cassidy stated TEP would have to put it on a U of A
property. He is sure the radio tower property is owned by the U of A and getting an
easement from the U of A would be problematic, to say the least. He does not think it
would realistically happen.
Council Member Comerford stated TEP cannot get there without going through Marana.
Mr. Cassidy replied correct, that is the reason why he had to come forward with
something. This large residential project would be good for the Town of Marana in staff’s
opinion. As long as we can come up with a reasonable accommodation, it seems like a
logical approach.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 115 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Council Member Bowen asked for clarification stating he is missing something here . The
subdivision will pay $500, the HOA will pay $500 a year to the Town. In the course of 26
years, that is $13,000 all this meanwhile a relocation would cost a lot more than that. The
Town is on the hook here not the HOA, but the Town is on the hook for thi s relocation if
it ever takes place eventually with a pittance of money provided to pay for it .
Mr. Cassidy stated the Town is ultimately on the hook for it. The agreement would make
the HOA be legally responsible. He provided for an example that if it is $500,000, we
would then say to the HOA, you need to pay the $500 ,000. The HOA is going to say we
do not have $500,000. The Town could sue the HOA and make them pay, as the
agreement does say that very thing. Council Member Bowen stated that would be trying
to get funds from the HOA that they do not have. Mr. Cassidy replied stating the Town
would end up having to pay some relocation costs. So yes, it is possible that maybe the
Town would decide to completely redo t he drainage way because they wanted to get
more capacity or something and would need to relocate those facilities.
However, TEP always tries to argue that, if you are doing such a major construction
project anyway, you are relocating other things why not relocate us as well. Marana does
not say no to the request, and we do not want to do that. We want those fees to be paid.
Marana has done it personally for decades with TEP. He reflected on o ne of my first
lawsuits was a relocation costs lawsuit against TEP when he worked at the county in
1984. This is the best I could think of.
Vice Mayor Post asked whether there is no other mechanism like performance bond that
would be available to pay for this if this were to happen.
Mr. Cassidy replied stating we could instead of making it a $500 a year lease payment to
us, which should be general revenue , we could change it and require that it be some kind
of a performance bond that they would pay annually . An insurance company or bonding
company woul d charge to keep that bond current. Marana would have to come up with
the principal amount. Mr. Brann could figure out what the potential cost s for relocating
the underground TEP line. That is another potential approach.
Vice Mayor Post commented on the suggestion for the HOA to not forget about the
annual payment. He asked how the Town would ensure the HOA did not forget they had
this. Mr. Cassidy replied stating every year when the Finance Department receives a
check, and does not know why the check was received, Finance s taff starts calling Town
departments to determine who or where the check should be applied. The nice thing
about the check passing is that the sender realizes that it is $500. If both sides forget, he
cannot guarantee that will not happen. The same could be true with paying for a bond.
We have the same problem with people retaining insurance, for example, on license
agreements just about every development maintains the landscaping in the right -of-way
i n front of their development. There is always a potential for lack or a loss of institutional
memory on these things.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 116 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Vice Mayor Post stated we are looking at deciding whether we feel like the risk of TEP
needing to relocate , or Marana needing to relocate at its cost. Mr. Cassidy stated yes.
Council Member Ziegler stated she does not feel good about this deal. W e just came up
with the mechanism to remind people sometime in the future and that mechanism is as
described by Mr. Cassidy. She expressed her concern over the $500 the Town would seek
from the HOA on the relocation. TEP or the railroad has never been a partner with the
Town or anyone.
We must look at what Cascade is going to bring into the Town of Marana. She stated that
she does not want to get into a conversation on impact fees as she voted against La Puerto
De Norte. Everything this development will bring into the Town of Marana shop in our
Town sales tax, everything. She does not agree with the Town depending on a $500
yearly payment from the HOA.
She expressed her dissatisfaction with having to work around the railroad and TEP.
However, if you say that I am so what the risk is very low for this to happen, but it is just
going to put my $0.002 with the Vice Mayor is fo r us to have to do something like this
just to make some sure somebody in the future remember so it just seems like a very wild
and weird way to do it.
Mr. Cassidy stated he and Mr. Crease did have that conversation to determine how best
to resolve this . If there is a better way to do this, he is open to it, and that is exactly they
had said. In terms of TEP , over those 40 years of fighting with TEP about relocation costs ,
and many conversations with TEP that is the problem for them and, they have no control
over when these relocations happen. It is not like they can go to the Arizona Corporation
Commission and request a certain amount to cover possible relocation expense.
They feel as though we are in control of when the relocation costs happened ; from their
perspective if we are doing a CIP project. For example, in this case to redo the channel
then we ought to consider all the c ost. That is why they take that position. They must find
money when the relocation costs happ en. It is not something they can budget for because
it is our action that caused them to have to spend the money.
Council Member Ziegler stated it is not palatable for her, as things happen where
someone may forget.
.
Council Member Officer asked whethe r there is way the Town can request, as it is going
to be on Marana easement right-of-way a more stringent code, buried electrical line
deeper encased in concrete . You are going to be in a wash area that is going to be
expanded later. If we protect it more up front when installed, it will be a bigger cost up
initially. That is the insurance for the long term. If they must make that channel wider
and deeper, Marana will still be protected within the right-of-way.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 117 of 179
Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Mr. Cassidy commenting stating Council Member Officer makes an interesting point
that the actual maintenance obligation for the underground facility is TEP. The relocation
responsibility only comes about if Marana does a CIP project that requires them to move
it. If we armored it or require them to do extra things in the installation , it will hurt
Marana in the relocation. Then that armored facility must be moved ; whereas if the
facility because of flooding gets exposed and they need to do maintenance on it, that's
TEP's responsibility. We have given them an easement we did not promise that their
facility would not be touched by storm damage or anything like that. It is just the CIP
project relocation costs own it.
Council Member Officer requested the Town make it more stringent to provide
protection to the Town.
Vice Mayor Post stated he appreciated Mr. Cassidy and Mr. Crease coming together to
try to figure out a way to solve this issue. Honestly, think that the risk is very minimal.
The risk is minimal that the Town will collect any money from the HOA.
Council Member Bowen stated he agrees with Vice Mayor Post comments that the risk
is very minimal. We are trying to foretell what might happen many years down the road
from now and create an out for every eccentricity that takes place. He does not think it
i s possible. The idea of providing reminder for the HOA to remit $500 a year seems to be
a reasonable accommodati on of the best we can do. The rest of it probably will be
forgotten and when and if this thing ever does need to be relocated the finger pointing
will begin and the records will be dug up and they will be much haranguing about how
anybody let this get by . He noted as an example, the Tortolita Preserve what everybody
decided that we were going to pay this lease till judgment day on the preserve.
The potential for Cascad a’s benefit to Marana far outweighs this. He commented on
Council Member Officer’s point stating he understands what he was referring to
regarding fortifying the thing . Truth is, everything that goes wrong with this is going to
be on TEP . The only time i t will ever come to the town’s attention is if we decide for some
reason -- for some de cision to move the whole thing. In that case, TEP will wash their
hands of it anyway. They can build it according to their specifications. If it breaks, they
have to fix it if it gets flooded. If it gets broken into anything, they must fix it. It is their
problem not our problem; only if it needs to be relocated . In in that case it will not help
us in any case.
Mayor Honea stated he has a hard time figuring out how $1 billion Canadian Company
TEP is not willing to take the risks. They want the taxpayers of the Town of Marana to
take the risk of that thing ever having to be moved.
Vice Mayor Post moved and Council Member Kai second the motion adopting Resolution
No. 2020-099 and exclude an agreement with the HOA. Vice Mayor Post stated correct.
Motion passes, 6 Yay and 1 Nay (Bowen).

Regular Council Meeting Summary 09/15/2020
Mr. Cassidy asked for clarification stating the Town will delete the agreement and give
them the easement, and not charge them for it. He stated the Resolution would state that
it authorizes the Town Engineer to sign the TEP Easement, but not to sign agreement.
Vice Mayor Post stated that is correct.

Subject:[Town Council acting as Floodplain Board] Relating to Floodplain
Management; staff report to Floodplain Board regarding a floodplain violation
on property located at 4801 W. Flying Diamond, as required by Town Code
section 17-15-7 (A) and federal regulations, and order from Floodplain Board
regarding abatement of the violation (Keith Brann)
Discussion:
Marana Town Code section 17-15-7(A) requires that within 30 days of discovery of a
floodplain violation, the floodplain administrator shall submit a report to the floodplain
board. On September 8, 2020, the floodplain administrator notified the owner of the
property at 4801 W Flying Diamond of a violation of section 17-15-9(E)(1), "[a] floodplain
use permit shall be obtained before construction or development begins..." A building
addition has been constructed on the property as well as a swimming pool.
On September 11, 2020, the floodplain administrator and the building official met with
the property owner via ZOOM. The property owner desires to abate the violation and
will be engaging professionals to recommend modifications to the structure. Based on
the existing structure being built at-grade, it is likely that a combination of physical
alterations and selected variance from the floodplain code will be necessary.
Along with this report to the floodplain board, 17-15-(A) requires that within 30 days of
receipt of the report, the floodplain board shall do one of the following:
1. Take any necessary action to effect the abatement of such violation; or
2. Issue a floodplain variance to this Title in accordance with the provisions of Section
17-15-11; or
3. Order the owner of the property upon which the violation exists to provide whatever
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 121 of 179
additional information may be required for their determination. Such information must
be provided to the floodplain administrator within 30 days of such order and the
floodplain administrator shall submit an amended report to the floodplain board within
20 days. At the next regularly scheduled public meeting, the floodplain board shall either
order the abatement of said violation or they shall grant a floodplain variance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 17-15-11; or
4. For FEMA regulated special flood hazard areas, submit to the administrator of FIA a
declaration for denial of insurance, stating that the property is in violation of a cited
state or local law, regulation or ordinance, pursuant to Section 1316 of the FIA of 1968 as
amended.
It should also be noted that Marana Town Code section 17-15-7(B) states that the Town
of Marana may withhold the issuance of permits, including building permits, native
plant permits and grading permits, for the development or improvement on the parcel or
any contiguous parcel of land under the same ownership.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff believes the owner is willing to abate the violation and needs time to seek the
opinion of professionals on how to modify the structure. Staff recommends that the
board utilize option 3 and require the owner to provide additional information. This
additional information can then guide the board's deliberations on any variance
decisions.
Suggested Motion:
I move to accept the floodplain administrator's report concerning the floodplain
violation at 4801 W. Flying Diamond Drive. I further move that the property owner be
ordered to provide additional information regarding the floodplain violation on the
property, pursuant to Marana Town Code section 17-15-7(A)(3).
OR
Council's pleasure, acting as the floodplain board.

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-112: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing
the Mayor to sign the Marana Main Street Development Agreement and
Right-of-Way License (Heath Vescovi-Chiordi)
Discussion:
On April 16th, 2013, Town Council authorized the establishment of the Downtown
Marana Reinvestment Fund (DMRF) by adoption of Resolution 2013-036. This resolution
set aside a 5 year period where 50% of construction sales tax revenues and 50% of
general sales tax revenues collected by the Town of Marana in the Downtown Activity
Center be available for use to fund public infrastructure projects desirable and necessary
for the development of the Downtown Activity Center. By adoption of Resolution
2018-040, the Town Council extended the DMRF for ten years, and authorized it to be
used pursuant to a Council-approved development agreement to pay for public
infrastructure incentives associated with Downtown Marana mixed-use development in
the downtown overlay zone established by Marana Ordinance No. 2018.010, and now
codified in the Marana Town Code, section 17-4-22.
The Town's Strategic Plan 4 deliberately calls out the diversification of industries and
commerce within the Town of Marana, as well as specifically addressing the
development of Downtown Marana in order to do so. In order to develop the
Downtown District in a manner befitting a traditional downtown-style, Town Staff,
during the course of the Land Development Code rewrite exercise, engaged with a 3rd
party organization to create a zoning overlay district for a specific geography in the
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 139 of 179
Downtown Activity Center that would function as an opt-in overlay zone. This
zone was approved by Council in 2018, and serves as an addition to the DMRF, allowing
for public infrastructure costs associated with mixed-use development to qualify for
reimbursement.
Within the Downtown Activity Center, there existed opportunity for a partnership
between a local developer and the Town to construct public infrastructure in a manner
befitting the style of development that fits the vision for Downtown Marana. In order to
attain this vision, the Town, entered into discussion for an agreement that would
achieve multiple goals at once, during existing construction by the developer. By
participating financially in construction of this project, the Town will receive public
infrastructure for the development of Downtown Marana and Marana Main Street,
upscaled landscaping, upscaled lighting, sign monumentation, and adherence to the
Downtown Marana Overlay Zone, which establishes the look and feel for future design,
constriction, open space, use, and more.
Staff is requesting authorization from the Town Council to execute an agreement that
would provide $300,000 from the Downtown Marana Reinvestment Fund to assist with
public infrastructure construction costs in Downtown Marana, including street,
electrical, landscaping, parking, and other infrastructure.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year: 2020-2021
Budgeted Y/N:Y
Amount:$300,000
Budget appropriation exists in the Downtown Marana Reinvestment Fund.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2020-112, approving and authorizing the
Mayor to sign the Marana Main Street Development Agreement and Right-of-Way
License.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2020-112, approving and authorizing the Mayor to sign
the Marana Main Street Development Agreement and Right-of-Way License.

Date:October 6, 2020
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Resolution No. 2020-113: Relating to Utilities; approving and authorizing the
Mayor to sign a Reconciliation Agreement for Construction of Water Facilities
under Private Contract for The Preserve at Twin Peaks Subdivision between
the Town of Marana and Lennar Arizona, Inc. (David L. Udall)
Discussion:
The Preserve at Twin Peaks is a 190-lot subdivision located just west of Twin Peaks
Road and southeast of Camino De Manana. The developer of The Preserve at Twin
Peaks subdivision has installed public water infrastructure to serve The Preserve at
Twin Peaks subdivision. The water infrastructure is also sufficient to serve future
development in the same water pressure zone. To compensate the developer for this
extra capacity, the Town entered into the "Town of Marana Agreement for Construction
of Water Facilities under Private Contract—The Preserve at Twin Peaks Subdivision"
(the "Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA") pursuant to Marana Resolution No. 2020-025 dated
March 3, 2020.
The Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA established an "oversizing recovery charge" of $442.45
per equivalent demand unit ("EDU"), payable by the first 231 EDUs for a period of 15
years from the effective date of the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA. Oversizing recovery
charges are authorized by Town Code section 14-4-3 (C). This particular oversizing
recovery charge was calculated based on the anticipated cost of the water infrastructure
work installed by the developer under the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA.
The Town anticipates accepting the water infrastructure work constructed pursuant to
the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA in the near future. The Applicant is now satisfied with
the actual cost of the construction and does not anticipate the cost will change even
though the constructed water infrastructure has not yet been fully accepted by the Town.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 158 of 179
The actual cost of the work is higher than originally anticipated. As a result, Town staff
has negotiated a reconciliation agreement with the developer to increase the oversizing
recovery charge to $642.78 per EDU, calculated based on the actual cost of the work.
This oversizing recovery charge is a pass-through payment which will be made to the
Town by future water customers who tie into the water facilities installed by the
developer of The Preserve at Twin Peaks subdivision. The Town will then forward the
oversizing recovery charge payments to the developer.
The backup information attached to this agenda item includes tables showing the
original and modified oversizing recovery charge calculations.
Financial Impact:
Amounts under this agreement will be collected and remitted to the developer in future
fiscal years as additional development occurs. As such, there will not be any budget
impact.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2020-113, approving and authorizing the
Mayor to sign a Reconciliation Agreement for Construction of Water Facilities under
Private Contract for The Preserve at Twin Peaks Subdivision.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2020-113, approving and authorizing the Mayor to sign a
Reconciliation Agreement for Construction of Water Facilities under Private Contract for
The Preserve at Twin Peaks Subdivision.

THIS RECONCILIATION AGREEMENT (this “Reconciliation Agreement”) is entered into by and
between the TOWN OF MARANA, an Arizona municipal corporation (the “Town”), and LENNAR ARI-
ZONA, INC., an Arizona corporation (the “Applicant”). The Town and the Applicant are sometimes
collectively referred to as the “Parties,” each of which is sometimes individually referred to as a

RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into an agreement entitled “Town of Marana Agreement for Con-
struction of Water Facilities under Private Contract—The Preserve at Twin Peaks Subdivision”
recorded in the office of the Recorder of Pima County, Arizona, on March 6, 2020, at Sequence

B. Among other things, pursuant to Marana Town Code section 14-4-3 (C), paragraph 1.10
of the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA established an “oversizing recovery charge” of $442.45 per
equivalent demand unit (“EDU”) based on the Applicant’s then-anticipated costs of the “Work,”
as defined in paragraph 1.1 of the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA.
C. The anticipated cost of the Work at that time was $186,269.50, as set forth in Recital G
of the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA.
D. The Town anticipates accepting the Work in the near future. The Applicant is now sat-
isfied with the actual cost of the Work and does not anticipate the actual cost of the Work will
change even though the Work has not yet been fully accepted by the Town.
E. The Parties now desire to reconcile the “oversizing recovery charge” payable to the Ap-
plicant pursuant to the terms of the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA to reflect the actual cost of the
Work.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants set
forth in the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA and in this Reconciliation Agreement, the Parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. Amendment of oversizing recovery charge. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the
Applicant’s actual cost of completing the Work was $270,609.37. Accordingly, pursuant to Ma-
rana Town Code section 14-4-3 (C), the “oversizing recovery charge” established under paragraph
1.10 of the Preserve at Twin Peaks WSA is hereby modified and increased to $642.78 per EDU
for connections within the B zone service area whose capacity is made possible as a result of the
Work.

Subject:Resolution No. 2020-114: Relating to Budget; authorizing the transfer of up to $420,000 in
budgeted expense authority from the Water Capital Fund WT047 Marana Park Well to the
Water Capital Fund project number WT037 Tangerine W to X-Zone Booster Station and PRV
in the fiscal year 2020-2021 budget for costs related to the construction of the booster station
(Scott Schladweiler)
Discussion:
A new Booster Station and Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is necessary to provide water
service, including fire flow capacity, to the X-Zone service area in North Marana which
includes a proposed new QuikTrip, Mandarina development, and any other potential
developments east of the existing Ventana Medical facilities on Tangerine Loop Road.
100% design plans were completed in April 2020. The Opinion of Probable Construction
Cost (OPCC) from the consultant was $876,000 and the available construction budget
was approximately $911,000. Bids were opened on August 31, 2020, and the lowest
acceptable base bid was $1,325,838.
Staff is requesting a transfer of up to $420,000 from Water Capital Fund WT047 Marana
Park Well to Water Capital Fund WT037 Tangerine W to X-Zone Booster Station and
PRV to allow construction of the booster station to proceed on schedule and not impact
the schedule of other pending projects. The current FY21 construction budget for
equipping the WT047 Marana Park Well is approximately $551,000. Equipping the
Marana Park Well will be delayed until completion of the WT046 Marana Park
Reservoir, which is scheduled to be constructed in FY21. The additional costs of the
booster station will be included in the upcoming revision to the water infrastructure
improvement plan (currently in progress) and impact fees will be adjusted accordingly.
Upon approval of this request available budget appropriations for the booster
station project will total approximately $1,331,000.

Budget appropriation is being re-allocated between two projects budgeted within the
same fund (Water Impact Fee fund 5011). The overall fund budget remains unchanged.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the approval of the transfer of up to $420,000 in budgeted expense authority from the
Water Capital Fund WT047 Marana Park Well to Water Capital Fund WT037 Tangerine W to X-Zone
Booster Station and PRV for activities related to the construction of the booster station.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2020-114, approving the transfer of up to $420,000 in
budgeted expense authority from the Water Capital Fund WT047 Marana Park Well to
Water Capital Fund WT037 Tangerine W to X-Zone Booster Station and PRV for
activities related to the construction of the booster station.

From:Yiannis Kalaitzidis, Finance Director
Date:October 6, 2020
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Relating to Budget; presentation of monthly financial revenues (July-August) of
the Town's General Fund funds for the 2020-2021 fiscal year (Yiannis
Kalaitzidis)
Discussion:
The Town of Marana started the new fiscal year 2020-2021 with a reduced revenue
budget in anticipation of the continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to
the economy.
During budget development Council and the Town Manager took steps to ensure that
the Town continued to provide services at existing levels, while also presenting a
structurally balanced budget, where ongoing revenues cover ongoing expenses. These
steps included deferring projects to future periods, delaying or freezing the hiring of
certain positions, and restricting some budget capacity until such time when fiscal year
2020-2021 revenues come in better than anticipated.
Staff will present an update of the Town’s most significant General Fund revenue
sources to Council on a monthly basis to assist Council in remaining informed during
this period of economic uncertainty.
Overall, revenues for the month of July and August 2020 are higher than anticipated,
while in some cases they are lower than amounts collected for the same periods in 2019.
While the current revenue levels are encouraging, economic data in this environment is
still limited and the future continues to be uncertain. Factors that may impact the
economy include the effectiveness of current measures against the disease, additional
federal relief funds, and a solution to the virus that is still several months away.
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 169 of 179
federal relief funds, and a solution to the virus that is still several months away.
As such, staff will continue to monitor revenues and recommends maintaining the
course set in the recently adopted Town Budget for fiscal year 2020-2021.
Staff Recommendation:
Presentation only.
Suggested Motion:
Presentation only.

Subject:Relating to Special Events; discussion and possible direction regarding
options for proceeding with the 2020 Marana Holiday Festival &
Christmas Tree Lighting in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (Vic
Hathaway)
Discussion:
The Marana Holiday Festival & Christmas Tree Lighting has successfully attracted
thousands of attendees to its popular one-day annual event for the last several years.
This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted event operations around the
world. While it is difficult to forecast what emergency and public health orders may be
in place in December, current public health guidelines continue to recommend caution
through the holiday season. Multiple event features will be impacted by social
distancing and hygiene requirements due to close contact and crowding. These features
include vendor spacing and line management, inflatables, snow globes, audience
seating, and the traditional Santa Claus interaction. Available personnel and resources
are also impacted by the requirement to maintain cleanliness of common areas,
including tables and chairs and portable restrooms. At tonight's meeting, Town staff
seeks direction from Town Council to evaluate options for next steps:
Option 1: Modify the Marana Holiday Festival to accommodate CDC guidelines,
including evaluating the placement of the event
Marana Town Council Regular Council Meeting 10/06/2020 Page 178 of 179
Option 2: Cancel the traditional festival this year, but keep the nightly Christmas Tree
light show
Additional consideration: Explore other community event opportunities for the holiday
season in lieu of a festival, including working with HOAs to coordinate a community
drive-thru tour of Christmas lights, and more.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2021
Budgeted Y/N:Y
Amount:$94,550
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council consider federal, state, and local guidance and
regulations to ensure the safety of event participants and vendors, and Town staff.
Suggested Motion:
Council's pleasure.
