TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara F. Johnson, Director or Public Works
SUBJECT: Presentation of the proposed Water Infrastructure Finance
Authority (WI FA) funding option for the Silverbell Road Project
DISCUSSION
The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) is an independent agency of the State of
Arizona and is authorized to finance the construction, rehabilitation and/or improvement of
drinking water, wastewater, wastewater reclamation, and other water quality facilities/projects.
Generally, WIF A offers borrowers below market interest on loans for 100 percent of eligible
project costs.
As a "bond bank," WIF A is able to issue water quality bonds on behalf of communities for basic
water infrastructure. Through active portfolio and financial management, WIF A provides
significant savings due to lower interest rates and shared/reduced closing costs. WIF A is able to
lower a borrower's interest costs to between 70 and 100 percent of WI FA's tax-exempt cost of
borrowing. WIF A's principal tools for providing low interest financial assistance include the
Clean Water Revolving Fund for publicly held wastewater treatment projects and the Drinking
Water Revolving Fund for both publicly and privately held drinking water systems. Both funds
are capitalized by contributions from the State and the U.S. Congress.
The Silverbell Road Project includes the installation of a new sewer line, and a portion of the
cost can be funded by WIF A.

Mr. Reuwsaat addressed Council and stated last year during the budget process they
talked about the need to begin reaching out to the public in a number of ways. They have
done that through the establishment of five new commissions, the quarterly newsletter
and annual reports. One of the other ways was to begin a survey process of the
community on an annual basis to look at what we are doing and what the priorities were.

MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: April 3, 2007
They are now finishing the process of developing the first survey that will be
implemented in the next couple months. The first survey this year will deal with our
vision, core values, and purpose that was established three years ago. They are asking the
public to look at that and see if the core values are similar to what the public's core
values are. When the information is received back and in the study session in August or
September they will take the input from the survey and revise.
The survey will ask citizens to tell us what their perceptions are on how we are delivering
services, such as parks, police, development services, special e ts, elections, and roads
and transportation. This will be done every other year. I years they will use the
survey process to deal with issues such as water, conse n, and growth issues. This
information will help develop specific performance nts by department down
to the individual. In 2000, our population was 13,50 d we' ded over 17,000 since
that time. It will be interesting to see what thee.up of the c nity is in terms of
household size, age, and ethnicity. This will mfonnation we noly do not receive
except for a ten year census basis. It wil polici owth and
program delivery. The Sable Group is we a draft of the ey and will

Michael Racy addressed Council and stated there have been a couple meetings
with CMID and other people involved with the district. They are committed to
work with all ofthem in the drainage studies that are done on this project. There
are a number of different things they will implement to control and reduce the
velocity of both the on and off site flows, in fact creating a net benefit on the other
side.
Mayor Honea stated it was his understanding that the water flowing from the east
to the west side will actually be slowed with the drainag!,?/proposal.
Mr. Racy stated this project is being developed wi critical basin and that
means they have to address all of their own on $j~e c . ons, but they have to
make some net improvement in that. The exad~xtend t comes out of the
much more detailed drainage studies. The ~t~te Land Dep nt has been
receptive to working with them to incorporate some drainage ties on their
property along the CAP canal where~lot of that water is comin If they
could slow some of that flow it couldn.~'Ve signi~7~~t benefits for one to the
west and northwest of the site. He stated ~otlld be amenable a condition

Counc ember Allen stated he is concerned about the 75 percent oftwo story
homes, a deviation from the 50 percent that our design standards call for.
Mr. Racy stated they are asking for 75 percent in single family homes still
subject to the variation in rooflines, architecture, limits on comers, curvilinear
streets, stepping homes back and forth so while they are asking for a higher
number it is really because there is a lot of market interest and acceptance for that
product. The property slops up gradually and has view of the Tortolitas and
Catalinas and lends itself well to that variety of product. They would like to be
able to distinguish the project a little. He stated the mixed use is open to the

region. He stated there is a large central park facility that is a community regional
park intended for the central section that is open to the entire community and will
be accessible to the community with the new interchange and will include shops,
restaurants, playing fields, and clubhouse.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated this is the first of three steps. They'll bring back to Council
a development agreement which is much more specific. They have had a CFD
application submitted to provide CFD financing. The public benefit of the
interchange for the existing residents is significant. Mr. uwsaat asked for
clarification regarding that ifit was under 3500 sq ft . d.follow the

process that would not require it to come to Council. as been
recommended is that it is a conditional us~~<l that it has rotested to bring

Mr. Racy stated it is actually an appeal r ~an a protest and any Council

out the parks, but if we collect the park impact fees on this project
and the eloper does not build the parks we will get about $13 million. It is
going to encourage the applicant to build bigger parks to cut the dollar figure and
provide more amenities in the neighborhood. He stated schools could be a
problem for this project, but if they can work out an agreement with the school
district on some voluntary funding that would help them, as well.
Council Member Comerford commented that when Continental Ranch opened
there were no schools. Now 20 years later the third school is being built. She
commented on item 20 of the conditions and hoped that item does not hinder the
process.

Mr. Cassidy stated concerning the water item. Their feeling is that it would be
best to bring a comprehensive overview in the terms of a video presentation in
executive session. In order to make it a little more organized approach they would
like to set aside more time and in a more formal manner and suggested a couple

Mr. Cassidy stated in the manner of Explorer Newspapers n of Marana, as
explained in Executive Session, t is a case Newspapers
seeking two sets of documents; one series Ron Smith
and also there was a request for in 'nformation. As the Town
Attorney, he withheld even the existence ternet usage information because
they only do internet us eports when the there is something improper
going on and to tell them s a report wo e saying there was improper

'ciously to release information. The judge awarded $10,000 in

warded i~the instance of a finding of bad faith so they think the
judge's rulin incorr~ct as a matter oflaw on awarding those fees. However, the

this d~eision it would have no going forward effect because it would be
an interpretation of a law that no longer exits. As the Town attorney,
ends not appealing the case.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated he concurs with Mr. Cassidy's recommendation. He stated
he will be sending a letter to all employees stating that individual employees will
be responsible for their use of public assets such as computers and inappropriate
use or behavior on those assets. He will not recommend that the Town expend
public funds to protect those kinds of behaviors'. If the employee so uses, for
example, the computer for personal use, that will be subject to public records and

Paul Popelka a,... ressed Council regarding the 2007 General Plan Update. This is not a
re-write of their 2003 plan. It is an update of the existing conditions, trends that have
happened since their last plan adoption, trying to account for changes that have happened
since that plan. There are four basic parts to the plan; the vision, the elements or chapters
within the report and the implementation and the public participation aspect. Their vision
is values, growth, and opportunity. What is new this year is a chapter on housing. It is not
required for communities under 50,000 population, but they feel they are ready to begin
thinking about all housing in this community. In reference to land use they will be
working off the planning that has already been done over the last four years like the
northwest plan, the northeast plan, and the Town Center plan. The plan needs to be

rethought as to what is appropriate for roads, pedestrians, bicycles, railroad, transit, and
equestrian. Another chapter on growth areas and how growth is going to occur,
northwest, northeast, the south, and south central and each has different needs and
different specifics about how we deal with those areas.
Public facilities like the library are going to impact how we address public facilities and
public services. Water is an important chapter and how to deal with long term water
supply. Another section is cost; how much is it going to cost, where is the funding going
to come from, how do we come up with ways to take advant of other partners, how
can we do things more efficiently, and how to get it done.o e figure out what we

the request of a developer who wants to make what constitutes a major amendment they
would have to go through a similar approval process.
Mr. Kish stated based on the statutes you are allowed to do one major amendment per
year. In the future if someone that meets criteria of having to do a major amendment to
the plan, they would have to bring in an application, a year to process it, and then bring it
before the Commission, Council and public hearing process and then it requires a 2/3
majority vote to approve by Council. Based on their definitions for major and minor

process is typically carried with a rezoning application and requires a simple majority

Mayor Honea asked if they foresee any major changes to the plan.
Mr. Popelka stated they need to react to what projects have come in and what has taken
place and what has been proposed in the last few years. He stated they need to talk about
ultimate limits and how far they should be looking; how fa est, how far north. He
stated no major changes. He stated they have done some plans in the interim that

INTRODUCTIONS
PROCLAMA TIONS/UPDATES
Rodney Campbell, Community Relations Officer, addressed Council
regarding Founder's Day on March 17th at Ora Mae Ham Park which is
kicked off at 9:00 a.m. with a parade. The Marana Junior Rodeo is very
involved. The parade will have approximately 80 entries. There will be a
classic car show which will have approximately 200 automobiles. KOLD-
13 will be coming to the Municipal Complex to do four live segments on
their morning show related to Founder's Day.
Council Member Escobedo asked how we are looking at securing the
non-mechanized portion of the parade and what steps is the Town taking.
Mr. Campbell stated it was his understanding there would only be nine
carts that will actually be drawn by horses. Children eight and younger if
they are riding horseback they need to be accompanied by a responsible
adult. There will be people that will be on horseback following the route
of the parade.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated he will forward a memo he received from Tom Ellis
with the details of what we are doing to provide for a successful parade. It
includes the outriders, the placement of the carriage units, etc.
F. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS
Council Member McGorrary stated that in Heritage Highlands they have 70 volunteer
members and they did a great job during the golf tournament. She thanked every department
and organization for working hard on this event.
Council Member Escobedo stated as he has been listening to the candidates running for
election and if he had the task of cutting $4 million from the budget, where would he cut.
This amount equates to almost half of the police department's operating budget. Do you cut
children and seniors programs or cut the children's expansion ofthe new library or make cuts
in affordable housing. He stated $4 million equates to a half cent sales tax. He stated he was
thinking about Mr. Morales' groupthink phenomenon and how some of the candidates agreed
with Mr. Morales that the council has group think syndrome. He looked at how groupthink
applies itself and his understanding of this phenomenon. Three of the five candidates running
against the incumbents taught him the true definition of groupthink. These candidates wait
until the leaders installed their signs to install their signs next to them.

Council Member Comerford commended staff on the Accenture Match Play. She stated as
council members they have listened to many allegations, name calling and ridiculing. She
asked where the candidates have been over the past years while all the hard work has been
occurring. She stated there have been no requests for minutes of council meetings in the past
several years council has been together. She stated her and fellow Council members have
been called un-American and corrupt. She asked where the evidence is to support this claim.
She stated one ofthe favorite terms of the candidates is groupthink. They all use it. She asked
if the candidates know what teamwork is and wonders if they confuse team work with group
think. She stated she wonders if they have bothered to do the research on what the Council
has done while making accusations regarding what they all think the Council has done. Do
they know about the many study sessions with staff and Council to get everyone's input and
the direction they would like to see the Town go? Do they know about the hours and retreats
held to come up with a plan, a direction that would reflect the Town residents' wants and that
the residents would take ownership of? There is the constant team building that they all
participate in to keep the communication flowing. She stated that the council members
actually have an interest in each others well-being. While they may not actually agree on
every item they actually have mutual respect for each other, as well as for staff and will
continue to act as professionals who represent this town. They do not bicker on the dais for
hours just for the sake of bickering. They discuss respectfully to each other from the dais.
The Marana Municipality is a family that takes care of each other and does a great job of
taking care ofthe town. Staff knows what the Council expects to see and does not bring items
to the Council unless they believe they are ready. They have involved the community in a lot
of policy making and town mission over the last several years and continue to involve the
community. Much of the ground work has been an ongoing project yet much has been
established and accomplished. They are committed to their plans, directions and goals and so
is the staff. They believe strongly in what they are trying to accomplish and the goals they
have set. There is no hidden agenda. Almost all of the information can be requested and
obtained by the public. You can receive the information electronically for free. She stated the
facts are Marana is a wonderful up and coming community filled with wonderful people who
have chosen to live here for many reasons. She stated the people who sit on the dais are
members of this community, as well. They have worked hard, make the sacrifices, and are
committed to doing their best for the town. She stated they do it because they love Marana if
for no other reason. She stated teamwork, corporation and respect from your other team
members is what you need to make things happen. She stated that over the weekend signs
went up for candidates. Some claim they were targeted and signs were taken down by the
town. Everyone was given the same information regarding the rules.
Mayor Honea stated as far as the Accenture tournament sponsors that it was larger this year,
the first year in Marana, than any year that it was in the San Diego area. The PGA and the
Accenture have sent us notes and e-mails regarding how happy they have been with the
professionalism of our police department, staff and the VIP volunteers. He stated he attended
the Southern Arizona Town Hall group breaking ceremony at the Fox Theater last week and
met with individuals that are looking at the same concept we are looking at and our entire
region. What they want to do is develop procedures and ways to help with water,
transportation, healthcare, and education within our entire region. He stated that he and Mr.
Reuwsaat will be going to the four day Town Hall in May and there will be a lot of leaders

not only from the elected community, but from the business community, as well. They are
going to try to set up a collaborative agreement to work on functions to help our community.
G. MANAGER'S REPORT: SUMMARY OF CURRENT EVENTS
Mr. Reuwsaat addressed Council and stated Saturday while he was out, Mr. Iles Winder
stated that he was not always complaining that he was appreciative of the work that has gone
on and the progress made. He wanted to complement Barbara Johnson and Ryan Benavidez
and the amount of communication and progress that has been made. He complimented staff
on doing a great job and that it is nice driving on Cortaro Road on a fully paved section.
H. STAFF REPORTS
Mr. Davidson addressed Council and thanked staff for all the work they do with individual
citizens and trying to resolve serious issues that face the community.
Mr. DeGrood addressed Council and stated Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities is
going to be putting out their economic blueprint for the region. They will be doing that at the
Fox Theater on March 28th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Tickets can be obtained from Tucson
Regional Economic Opportunities. Over 3500 people have been involved in putting the
economic blueprint together. We look to take the Tucson regional economic blueprint and
then from that what we want to do is develop the Marana economic blueprint and that will be
forthcoming with our business and economic development commission. There will be an
opportunity for people in the community to sign up for the Arizona Town Hall. He has
applications in his office for people requesting to participate.

J. COUNCIL ACTION
1. PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2007.03: Relating to Development;
approving and authorizing a Specific Plan for Barrios de Marana. (Kevin
Kish)
Mr. Kish addressed Council and stated that The Planning Center on behalf of
Barrios de Marana LLC requests approval of a rezoning for a 38-acre site called
Barrios de Marana to develop a master planned community which reflects the
Town's vision for the town core with higher density, attached housing
surrounding a mixed use area that allows for commercial uses with the option of
having residential uses on the second and third floors. The subject area is located
about a half a mile north of the Marana Municipal Complex just north of Grier
Road. Proposed specific plan will establish two land use designations, residential
which covers approximately 18 acres ofthe site, most of which is the peripheral
of the site. To respect the scale ofthe existing Marana Vistas and existing homes
along Grier Road all the residential buildings will be limited to single story and
will be set back a minimum of twenty feet from those boundaries.
The applicant has indicated the site could yield approximately 350 homes which
would not include the residential units over the commercial units along Main
Street. Based on the development standards within the proposed project of a
minimum of3,000 sq. ft. gross area per dwelling unit, staff believes they are
looking at a maximum 270 units for that area as opposed to the 350. The second
land use is the mixed use which covers approximately 20 acres of land. It allows
multi-family housing on the second floors, but is primarily intended for
commercial office use and activities of a Main Street nature. The development
standard for the mixed use area has building heights up to 50 feet.
An amended ordinance was handed out which includes four additional conditions
which helps clarify some of the concerns they have been working with the
developer and Town Manager's office on. The applicant is volunteering to do the
$1,200 per unit fee to Marana Unified School District. Condition 16 addresses the
structures along Marana Main Street in the mixed use area. Number 17 addresses
concerns regarding having the multi-family use allowed by right within the mixed

use zone. Residential will be allowable in the second and third floors of the Main
Street. A conditional use permit would be required to allow the ability to do
residential on the first floor. Number 18 addresses the permitted uses within the
multi-family area or residential area. They have live/work units. On further
review, it was felt that those were a positive thing for the balance of the
community and the residential area that it could create additional traffic. They are
looking at the southern roundabout where these buildings could front on Main
Street and they could turn into the live/work units identified in the plan. The land
development code requires 100 sq. ft. for recreational areas and multi-family
housing. Within the specific plan there are very specific detail design standards.
In the mixed use or commercial buildings the parking is to be in the rear of the
building with on street parking in front.
Harold Mencher addressed Council and stated that one of the things that
concerns him and some other neighbors is that there is a 90 feet right of way
which he guesses is for future expansion of the road. There are a lot of homes on
the south side of Grier and some homes on the north side of Grier and he believes
that will cut into the property lines.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated the right of way that is indicated is only on the property. It
doesn't cross the street onto Main Street that connects with the Municipal
Complex. It shouldn't affect existing homes.
Keith Brann addressed Council and stated the major routes right of way plan is a
programming tool whereby they were acquire rights of way from properties that
are rezoning and under development. The traffic studies they have done on
northwest Marana have downplayed the significance of Grier Road significantly
and it is shown on all current and future models to be a two lane roadway at this
point. Although they will be requiring rights of way from properties that are
rezoning, they would not be taking right away from existing residences. They
have no intention of widening Grier to a four lane roadway.
Georgia Acker addressed Council and stated she wanted to be sure that along the
west side and all of the first row of housing that fronts Grier Road is single family
housing, one story high.
Jack Neubeck from The Planning Center representing Barrios de Marana
addressed Council and stated that one of the conditions oftheir rezoning is that
the residential will be attached. They cannot do detached housing. It will be single
story wherever it fronts existing neighborhoods. There will be a wall along Grier
and they have committed to one along the Marana Vista project, as well.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated off the second circle to the right that is intended to add an
additional access to the frontage road that is not currently there so that people in
this project if they want to get to I-la, if ADOT allows, will be able to get on the
frontage road and go down to the future Moore Road interchange and to the
Tangerine Interchange.

MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: March 6, 2007
Mayor Honea stated part of the concern there was they did not want to put all the
traffic on Grier Road. The idea is to take the traffic through the old gin property
and around into the intersection on Marana Road and into the intersection where
everyone can get in and out going north and east instead of coming south.
Ms. Acker asked on the diagram that if the Shaw's shop would stay in the same
spot.
Mr. Neubeck stated it was their hope over time that maybe they could acquire
those businesses or move those businesses to another place.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated that Council will have to go through a process to discuss the
overall major streets and roads plan. That is still to come. Where Marana Main
Street is there will be a connection through the old cotton gin site to at least
Sandario Road that they know for sure and that's already in the site plan that has
been approved by Council years ago. They are proposing if there is an opportunity
to provide another access to the frontage they will take advantage of that.
Council Member McGorray asked about what kind of parking would be offered
for the homes.
Mr. Neubeck stated in this plan there are duplexes, triplexes and sixplexes and
each one has its own garage and it also has apron parking, as well. They have
worked with staff to make sure they are compliant with the parking requirements.
The first row of commercial parking which is adjacent to the residential will be
joint use. The model they were using had two car garages.
Vice Mayor Kai asked about the two roundabouts and also the back end type
parking and whether it could be changed.
Mr. Neubeck stated it could be changed and it was conceptual. The traffic
engineer suggested this was a very efficient way. They worked with Fernando
Prol and he didn't want any angle parking at all, but because of the expanse of the
90 foot right of way they felt that was appropriate. They are working to get Main
Street implemented as quickly as possible.
Mr. Kish stated that Fernando Prol did do more research on angle parking and is
quite comfortable with it at this point. In regards to the roundabouts they are also
a traffic control devise and sometimes the removal of a roundabout can lead to the
implementation of a four-way, three-way stop or even a traffic signal. The current
traffic study for the development shows a roundabout will handle the traffic quite
well.
Daniel Carman addressed Council and stated developing a large area of
apartments gets away from the small town feel. He opposes these apartments and
feels they will adversely affect the neighborhood, as well as the property values.
8

MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DA TE: March 6, 2007
He asked what about the infrastructure to support 46 two story and 21 one story
apartment buildings. He stated the schools are having a hard time handling the
housing additions going up in the area and the apartments tend to attracts families
with school age children and how will the schools be able to handle that. In an
economic study done for Pima County garden apartments are in looses money
category of the types of land uses ranked for cost effectiveness by governments.
He discussed the word Barrio, its meaning, and the perception in shaping an
area's future. He discussed the manner in which the proposed property owners
were notified. He discussed receiving a black and white copy of an original and
upon obtaining a color copy ofthe original he noticed that the word residential
had been dropped from the one sent out.
Wanda McDuff addressed Council and stated their property is the only one
affected on three sides. She asked if the irrigation ditch was going to be removed
and also asked if the properties behind her on the west could be one story.
Mr. Neubeck stated as far as the notification they had a neighborhood meeting
where there were color copies available. He talked about the small town Main
Street feeling. He stated the irrigation ditch will be taken out and they could do
single story.
Mayor Honea asked if these units are going to be rental units or owner occupied.
Mr. Neubeck stated it could be both. The way the zoning is proposed is as long
as it is attached they can do for sale or lease. He stated it would be what the
market will bear at this point.
Mayor Honea stated that if it is all apartments that he would not vote for it. He
stated they needed clarity to respect the neighborhoods around.
Mr. Neubeck stated he did not have a problem with a percentage that was
equitable as far as owner occupied. He asked what could be done to adjust the
impact fees and to adjust the school fees. When they do a traffic impact analysis
it's different for attached project compared to single family residence. He
mentioned Red Rock and how there were no fees.
Mr. DeGrood stated depending on what the product is, how the product functions
will dictate what the impact fees will be. Ifit's a dense unit and it's clustered, that
kind of a use generally has less impact on your streets, and for that reason there is
a reduction that a developer can apply for in their impact fees irrespective if its
rental or for sale housing. It's based on the density and the use of that type of
occupancy.
Council Member McGorray asked if clustering and density synonymous.
Mr. DeGrood stated it has to do with density.

Council Member Comerford stated she has concerns on the southern portion
where they are going from residential to commercial.
Mr. Neubeck clarified the areas for residential and commercial. He stated as far
as the linear version of things that is one of the concepts of new urbanism.
Council Member Escobedo asked about bus pullouts. He asked regarding the
north portion that could be commercial, apartment complex style how would the
parking be handled so people could associate commercial from residential parking
in those areas.
Mr. Neubeck stated as far as the designation of what will be parking that will be
clearly delineated as far as what is joint use parking. He stated maybe they would
take out one of the roundabouts and put bus pullouts.
Mayor Honea asked about the CUP (conditional use permit) availability if they
would say that the request has to come to Council and asked Mr. Cassidy ifthey
could do that.
Mr. Cassidy stated right now the way the CUP process works it goes to the
commission and that's the way the code provision works. They would have to
create a modified procedure which they can do. This is a specific plan so what
they would do is rewrite any portion of the ordinance as applied to this property.
Mayor Honea stated if they use the current CUP proposal that could be changed
without ever coming back to Council. The CUP allows for permission to get a
certain type of zoning, but then if somewhere down the line that zoning doesn't
work you can come back and make a request for another type of zoning and if that
is the case on Main Street maybe they should bring it back to Council instead of
the planning commission.
Mr. Cassidy stated you could change proposed condition 17 to say accept upon
Town Council approval of a conditional use permit.
Mr. Neubeck stated Mr. Racy informed him that on conditional use permit the
Mayor and Council can request that an action taken by P&Z be brought before
Council.
Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member
Allen to adopt Ordinance No 2007.03 with four conditions to include the period
per Mr. Cassidy's recommendation was unanimously approved. Upon motion by
Mayor Honea, seconded by Council Member McGorray to amend the motion
to also include 60 percent for sale residential houses and single stories behind the
McDuff s home was unanimously approved.

smoking in public places with certain defined exceptions; amending Title 10
of the Marana Town Code by deleting Chapter 10-6 and Section 10-7-5, the
associated penalty provision; and designating an effective date of May 1,
2007, to coincide with the effective date of A.R.S. ~ 36-601.01, the Smoke-free
Arizona Act. (Frank Cassidy)
Mr. Cassidy addressed Council and stated one of the smoking initiatives will
become law on May 1, 2007. They have suggested when the Arizona Smoke-Free
Act becomes effective that our smoking ordinance that we put into place that
would sunset and that way the State enforces their rules and their rules will apply
within the Town as everywhere else in the State. It removes the Town's separate
smoking regulations. In discussing with staff and management it was felt it would
be best to pull our smoking regulation upon the effective date of the Arizona
Smoke-Free Act.
Council Member Escobedo stated that the bars in Arizona have a movement
questioning Proposition 20 I and asked if that was to move forward asking
legislation to hold back on ARS 36-601.01 would that affect the time constraint.
Mr. Cassidy stated no because the Legislature cannot undo any part of the
initiative. It can be undone by a future initiative such as if the bar owners were to
collect enough signatures and circulate another initiative that could undo the 2006
initiative, but even if that occurs that certainly will not occur by May 1, 2007
which is when the new act goes into effect. We can modify it that in the event of
unforeseen circumstances that the Smoke-Free Arizona Act does not go into
effect on May 1 st then this ordinance removing our smoking ordinance would then
continue in place until that act goes into effect. When the governor proclaimed the
vote on the Smoke-Free Arizona Act it became law, but the initiative itself had a
provision in it that said its regulations did not become enforceable until May 1 st.
Normally if they were going to challenge an initiative they would bring that
challenge presumably as soon after the proclamation or even before the
proclamation of the vote.
Council Member Escobedo asked to have the amendment added to the prior
motion.
Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member
Allen, Ordinance No. 2007.04 unanimously approved with an amendment.

1. Discussion/Possible Action: Request for direction on possible annexation
on the south side of Pima Farms Road at the end of Cerius Stravenue.
(Kevin Kish)
Mr. Kish addressed Council and stated this is located south of Pima Farms
Road and east ofI-I0 railroad frontage road. It has frontage with the Town on
the west side of its boundary. One of the challenges on this is providing sewer
to the project. The applicant's proposal is for industrial use and economic
development. The other challenge is the transportation. Cerius Stravenue has
access to the property. Unfortunately the gap is within a County right of way
so it would a County road coming in and the Town would have the frontage if
the annexation were to go through along the northern Pima Farms area and
then with the Willow Ridge project there is Sandy Desert Trail which is the
extension south of Camino de Oeste which will also tie into Pima Farms Road.
Depending on traffic analysis and studies, looking at potential improvements
to Pima Farms Road, off site within the County area to Sandy Desert Trail, the
frontage of this on Pima Farms and Cerius Stravenue. The commercial site for
Cortaro Ranch if it moves forward would generate the traffic for a signal light
for Cerius Stravenue and Cortaro.
John Gutierrez addressed Council and talked about his development of
Camino Martin. On the proposed annexation property he stated he went door
to door to 13 homes that fronted this property and showed them two plans, a
trailer park that meets County zoning or a conceptual plan and ten were in
favor of a business park. What he is proposing percentage wise will be in the
small area and the majority ofthe project will focus around that, but elements
will go to larger bay to accommodate growth. On Pima Farms all the homes to
the north would be viewing to the south and they will be leaving all the
existing mesquite trees there. He is self-imposing a wider buffer than what the
ordinance would be to leave the vegetation. The elevation A, he is going to
copy some industrial condos. It is not an industrial looking block building.
Elevation B would be similar to the old west. Elevation C is a smaller bay,
1200 sq. ft. Elevation D and E would be the larger buildings.
His estimate of all the businesses combined would take in about $75 million in
revenue. Like the tenants at old west not all pay sales taxes. Almost a third
would pay into sales revenue in some form. If the same number applied
$623,000 of that revenue would go to Marana. The rental taxes another
$60,000. Marana Schools would see a $100,000 of additional income and not
one student. Northwest Fire would collect $40,000 and the County would get
the balance to $250,000. They are looking at employment for 760 people. If
the wages were similar to old west there would be $17 million in wages. He
stated he is passionate about bringing business to the town. He stated his
attrition rate at old west is barely ten percent.
Mayor Honea stated annexation they could do, but staff would need to be
satisfied as far as public amenities. Whether sewer or septic would work,

roadways including the County piece. We stated it would be two things the
annexation and then the details of working out implementation of the plan.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated it will have to rezone and at that point the appropriate
studies on transportation, drainage and waste water will have to be addressed
in the rezoning and that is a concern on staff also.
Council Member McGorray stated she is concerned on how it affects the
surrounding areas as far as an additional stop light.
Vice Mayor Kai stated the sewer system needs to be looked at and he does
not like septic systems. He stated they should make every effort to hook up to
the County system.
Mr. Gutierrez stated the project would be dependant upon the Willow Ridge
subdivision which is at the intersection of Cortaro and Camino de Oeste. One
of the requirements of that plat was that sewer line was extended all the way
south and reaches Pima Farms. In talking with staff it looks like that
development is moving forward so with the expectation of it being there he
would then plan on entertaining the necessary things to lift and pump their
sanitation to that.
Council Member Escobedo stated with annexation would it bring benefit to
the town and he stated he believed it would.
2. State Le2:islative Issues: DiscussionlDirection/Action regarding legislation
and all pending bills before the Legislature. This item will appear on
each agenda while the Legislature is in session. (Mike Reuwsaat)
Mr. Michael Racy addressed Council and gave a mid-session legislative
report. They've had a near record number of bills introduced this year. The
Senate is working on the budget. The House has a reduced committee list and
is also working on the budget. So far the session is going fairly smoothly and
rapidly, although they have deferred action on most ofthe controversial bills
and on the most controversial budget items. There are 33 republican members
in the House and 17 in the Senate. Consequently there have been many fewer
of the more controversial issues and many fewer elements directed at limiting
local government authority this year than the last few years. There were bills
introduced to reduce revenue sharing. Those bills are not moving at this point
in time.
There is a bill introduced on development impact fees, but this year it is a
consensus bill developed with the league of cities and towns and a number of
communities. It is not the version that was introduced last year that would
have had much more significant limitations and impacts on the use of impact
fees. There is a bill introduced this year having to do with construction sales
tax. That bill would materially impact the flexibility with respect to the use of
13

DATE: March 6, 2007
construction sales tax. That bill is not moving, but is one that they are actively
involved in. The most active area is transportation. Transportation has gotten
more attention this year at least in discussion and very little action. There is a
new blue ribbon task force bill that is moving through the process. There are
promises they will come back and look at expanded revenue sources next year.
Most of the proposals for this year are not adding significant additional
revenues. There is a transportation measure that has been brought forward by
Queen Creek. It proposes an additional funding carve out of additional
revenues, a very small amount, $20 million to go to hyper-growth, cities,
towns, and potentially counties around the State. It's really designed
specifically for Queen Creek. It doesn't do anything significant to solve the
infrastructures issues facing the state. It is getting a lot of attention, a lot of
discussion not only by the legislature, but by a pretty broad consensus of
business interests.
M. EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
Executive Session pursuant to A.R.S. ~38-431.03 (A)(3), Council may ask for
discussion or consultation for legal advice with the Town Attorney
concerning any matter listed on this agenda.
N. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Notwithstanding the mayor's discretion of what items to place on the agenda,
if three or more council members request an item to be placed on the agenda,
it must be placed upon the agenda for the second regular town council
meeting after the date of the request (Marana Town Code, Title 2, Chapter
2-4, Section 2-4-2 B)
Council Member Escobedo asked to see the highway interchange commercial
design standards. He asked also to look at the Town's stage policy and maybe
make some adjustments.

Vice Mayor ~il>tatedl~day there was an opening ceremony for the Yuma Desalting plant.
This plant was co~~~cted 10 years ago by the Bureau of Reclamation and it was supposed
to take water from the Yuma area, treat it, and deliver it to Mexico. Our obligation with
Mexico is to deliver 100,000 acre feet of water down the river for Mexico's needs. The plant
hasn't been in operation because there was a lot of water stored in the dams. Now we are in a
drought storage time and it is necessary to get the plant going, clean up the water and fulfill
the obligation.

automatic recount of the March 13, 2007 Town of.,yarana primary election
to the Pima County Superior Court, authorizi filing of a petition in
Superior Court; and declaring an emergency Cassidy)
Council Members Comerford, Blake, a.uJlAllE~n declaredacontlict of interest.
Mr. Cassidy stated this item is esse yan automatic recount. re is a statute
on automatic recount that provides en the . ference betwe e top and
second candidate is less than ten votes i automatic recount. Those facts
are certified into the Superior Court then t rt looks at the facts, and
determines a recount. Because of our particul e, we have a code provision
that says that if a person re~i e votes from th'l,11 half of the people
submitting ballots they are dire ed without ng to go to the general
election. In our situation, COl..lncil Russe lanagan, is basically two
votes short of being directly el~te4~t the election. It is not clear whether
that statuteta i:>ased on the ~ecific wording ofthe statute in that it talks
about t andidates.
At the sta el, t1i~e are no candiq~te elections where a person is running
st just a er so 'rig to do and what they are recommending is
unci ifies the a into court. He has prepared a petition and then
eterrrti whether or not the automatic recount statute applies. The
ates w en have an opportunity to give their positions on that to
the judge, b the juqge determines that the automatic recount situation does
then a re~unt will be ordered by the judge. If the judge decides that no,
we are n()t dealing with two candidates, it doesn't apply then the judge
ecid~~ot to order the recount. Mr. Cassidy stated that typically a court
other interested parties five days to respond and then a hearing will
be set ost immediately after those five days. He would expect by the end of
next w ek the judge would hold a hearing and make a determination on whether
or not to order the recount.
Council Member Escobedo stated that based on the assumption on election night
that Mr. Clanagan had won, wanted clarification on this issue.
Mr. Cassidy stated on election night it appeared that Council candidate Clanigan
had four votes over the fifty percent so it looked like he had directly been elected,
but as of election night the provisional ballots had not all been counted and that is

little more. Item 19 is proposed to say any and all structures, any portion of which

height, 60 feet from the property boundaries or 120 feet from any currently
existing residence on those lots. Item 21 relates to the second condition. They
thought it would be better to relate that to a total number of allowable units on the
property because that way it is easier to account for. The way they have it written
is at least 60 percent of the allowable residential units within the residential land
use designation area shall be developed with residential units designed, developed
and offered for individual sale. Item 20 says there shall be no more than 350 total

Mr. Reuwsaat stated with the grant he didn't think they were getting a pocket
park. They were getting lighting and sidewalks so they would either use Ora Mae
Ham Park or these pocket parks if there is access -across.
Mr. Neubeck stated there would be access. Mr. Neubeck stated the maximum
number of apartments under this condition would be 140 and a lot of people
would not touch an apartment building unless it was 200. He stated if it was by
area they could make it work. He stated this had always been discussed by area
rather than total number of units.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL

showing how this theme has been defined with specific features and elements. Town staff is
asking for direction from Council to move forward with the aesthetics presented.
This item was continued from April 10, 2007.

SUBJECT:
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
Ordinance No. 2007.10: Relating to Development; amending Sec-
tion 4 of Ordinance No. 2007.09 (The Villages of Tortolita Specific
Plan adopting ordinance) by extending to 60 days the period for
Proposition 207 waivers to be signed, returned and recorded; and
declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
The Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007.09 on April 3, 2007, adopting The Villages of
Tortolita Specific Plan. Section 4 of the adopting ordinance contained standard Proposition 207
waiver language which the Town Attorney's office has developed for Marana rezoning cases,
requiring the owners of the rezoned property to sign Proposition 207 waivers, for the waivers to
be returned to the Town, and for recording within 15 days after passage of the motion adopting
the ordinance. This approach allows all property owners to see exactly what conditions of rezon-
ing to which they are agreeing, but establishes a specific timeframe for returning the waivers to
avoid leaving a zoning case open but not operative for an indefinite period when Proposition 207
waivers are not promptly returned for recording.
Town staff has now concluded that the IS-day period is simply too short a time for the Proposi-
tion 207 waivers to be signed, returned and recorded. Property owners are sometimes for sign-
ing, and there are often multiple property owners. Town staff plans to use a 60-day period for
future rezoning ordinances.
The land covered by The Villages of Tortolita Specific Plan is owned by seven different entities,
and will require ten or more signatures on the Proposition 207 waivers (maybe more, depending
on who has authority to sign documents for the various entities). The ordinance presented for
your consideration at tonight's meeting would extend to 60 days the period for signing, returning
and recording the Proposition 207 waivers as established by Section 4 of Ordinance No. 2007.09.
If adopted as proposed, this amending ordinance will be adopted by emergency and become ef-
fective immediately, thereby revising Section 4 of Ordinance No. 2007.09 before the IS-day pe-
riod has run.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2007.10.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2007.10.

ing The Villages ofTortolita Specific Plan; and

returning and recording waivers from the owners of all property within The Villages of Tortolita
Specific Plan, waiving any potential claims against the Town under the Arizona Property Rights
Protection Act (A.R.S. S 12-1131, et. seq., and specifically A.R.S. S 12-1134) resulting from the
Town's adoption of The Villages ofTortolita Specific Plan; and

and recording the waivers is insufficient and should be extended.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The last sentence of Ordinance No. 2007.09, Section 4, is amended by re-
placing "within 15 calendar days after the motion approving this Ordinance" with the words
"within 60 calendar days after the motion approving this Ordinance".

before heading to the Governor's desk.
This bill voids all local ordinances related to temporary sign-walkers, and mandates
everv city and town to enact an ordinance with limits on the fees and their uses. In
fact, it even tells municipalities what kinds of flora it can plant with the money it
collects. An outrageous affront to local control, this bill has no compelling state
interest and subverts the will of our residents. When we decide to live in a
municipality, we elect local officials to maintain our communities as desirable places
to live. This bill overrides this community concept.
Additionally, this bill will likely create public safety problems, as sign-walkers could
converge on a busy street and obscure drivers' vision. Sign-walkers' sole purpose is
to distract drivers to notice the messaging on their signs. They could also be near
schools and advertise products or services inappropriate for children.
Call the Governor and tell her that you want to maintain the ability to look after your
own community and its people, and that this form of blight has no place in our
beautiful state.
Please call the Governor and ask her to veto House Bill 2369 if it reaches her
desk. The local number is (602) 542-433 I or dial toll free at 1-(800) 253-0883.
REVENUE SHARING ATTACK THWARTED... AGAIN
The strike-everything amendment that was offered on House Bill 2516 in the Senate
Appropriations committee this past week to raid the urban revenue sharing fund
failed on a 5-5 vote with one member absent (a measure must have a majority to win
passage; a tie is not good enough). The absent member was Senator Amanda
Aguirre who voted against this measure last time.
Thank you to everyone who talked to the members this week. Your calls, e-mails and
letters made the difference.
Please take a moment and contact the Senate Appropriations committee "No" votes
and thank them for their courageous support of cities' state shared revenues. Very
special thanks are owed to Senator Carolyn Allen and Senator Jake Flake for breaking (again) with their chairman
on this issue.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOL BILL
CONTINUES TO MOVE
House Bill 2001, which was amended with language that
allows a driver to attend any of the 15 state certified
driving schools rather than the schools a court contracts
with, is ready to be heard on the Senate floor next week.
Several cities and the League met with representatives
from municipal courts and the Administrative Offices of
the Courts to discuss this bill and possible solutions.
At this time, our amendments have not been well received
by the proponents of the bill, Williams and Associates.
While we will keep trying to create amendments to
minimize the impacts this will have on your local courts,
there is very little time to amend this bill.
Please contact your Senators and ask them to OPPOSE
this last-minute effort around the legislative process
because of its negative impact on city courts.
SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY
RESTRICTIONS
Senate Bill 1555 - residency restriction - sponsored by
Senator Jay Tibshraeny, passed the House on its Third
Read 55-0 (with five not voting) this week. This League
resolution is designed to protect children from sexual
predators. It requires those convicted of a dangerous
crime against children who must also register as a level 3
sex offender from living within 700 feet of a private or
public K-12 school or a child care facility. The bill further
classifies the offense as a Class 1 misdemeanor,
punishable by up to six months in jail, plus fines and
surcharges.
The 700-foot distance was a House amendment, as the
Senate version had the distance at 1500 feet. Another
amendment in the House precludes local governments
from adopting ordinances that provide for distance
restrictions greater than those in the bill. Weare still
debating whether we should oppose this provision.
Sex Offender Residency Restrictions (cont'd.)
The bill now goes back to the Senate where the
sponsor has to decide whether to concur with or refuse
the House changes. If he refuses, the bill will go to a
conference committee, made up of members of each
house to work on a compromise version.
PROTECTED DEVELOPMENT
FEES BILL DEAD
League staff and representatives from several cities
and towns, along with the County Supervisors
Association, met with the Southern Arizona
Homebuilders Association (SAHBA) to discuss the
implications and policy changes included in their
Senate Bill 1004. Their intent was to protect
developments that submit their final subdivision plats
from any new development fees adopted by the
jurisdiction for three to five years. In addition to
shifting the state's policy away from 'growth paying
for growth', the bill also had many unanswered
questions relating to property rights and Proposition
207. At the end of the meeting, SAHBA agreed with
us that this was too complicated of an issue to rush
through this session and to work with us over the
interim to find a workable solution to their concerns.
LIQUOR BILL DEBATE GOES ON
We continue to work out an agreement with the
Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC)
and the liquor industry to reach consensus on the
liquor omnibus bill, House Bill 2391. Our final
sticking point involves the level of scrutiny bars and
clubs must use when examining patrons' IDs before
admitting them.
The DLLC believes those who serve liquor must make
a reasonable effort to determine whether a person is of
the legal drinking age before admitting them and
serving them. If bars fail to exercise reasonable care,
they should be cited both for allowing a minor on
premises and failing to properly card the minor. We
concur with the DLLC because we want to make sure
bars are doing all they can to prevent underage
drinking; as the Deputy Director of DLLC stated
"that's the cost of having a liquor license."

TITLE 34 COMPROMISE PASSES THE
SENA TE AND IS ON THE
GOVERNOR'S DESK
House Bill 2065, the compromise between the League, the
County Supervisors Association and the Associated
General Contractors (AGC), passed the Senate with a 25-4
vote and was sent to the Governor on Thursday for her
action. She has five days to act on the bill, which had no
opposition as it moved through the process. Once this
becomes law, the penalty for violating the construction
procurement procedures outlined in Title 34 will increase
from $5000 to a tiered system of $10,000, $25,000 and
$75,000 for each successive violation over the next two
years. In addition, AGC selected 15 cities and towns to
participate in a study to look at how construction and
maintenance contracts are bid out. Matt Lore from the
League office has contacted your municipality if you were
selected and will be in touch over the interim with more
information.
WILDFIRE SEASON
On April 5th the Governor held her annual wildfire
briefing, which the League was invited to attend. This
event brings together state and local officials in the areas
of emergency management, fire prevention and fire-
fighting. According to the Governor and state officials,
this wildfire season has the potential to be dire. Early
snowmelt and a warm and dry spring have set conditions
for a precarious wildfire season. The unpredictability of
the monsoon season adds to this dilemma.
On the plus side, fire management personnel have stepped
up prevention and education efforts and inter-agency
communication abilities are the best they've ever been.
Agencies have trained more volunteers and the
Department of Corrections has over 300 inmates also
available to fight fires.
The public can avail themselves of two online resources to
help us all have a safer summer. The Arizona State Land
Department has www.azsf.az.gov. which provides up to
date information on fire prevention, communities at risk
and forest health. Arizona State Government has
www.az21I.gov. which includes State and local
emergency bulletins and alerts that are vital in times of
disaster or emergency. Work with your local emergency
management agencies and use these websites to ensure
your community's health this wildfire season.

Fountain Hills, Tonto Verde and Rio
Verde. He is a professor of criminal
justice at Scottsdale Community
College and director of the college's
Administration of Justice Studies and Forensic
Science Program. Prior to teaching at Scottsdale
Community College, he taught at Arizona State
University and served 20 years as a police officer with
the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Police Department, retiring as a detective sergeant.
Representative Kavanagh served six years as a town
councilman in Fountain Hills and also served three
years on the Lafayette, New Jersey Town Council. He

How do you see local government impacting people's
lives?
Local government impacts peoples' lives in a more
fundamental and personal way than state government
does. Having served for nine years as a councilman at
the town level, I understand how the actions of local
governments directly impact people's everyday lives,
especially in the areas of zoning and law enforcement.

What is one issue you see as particularly important to
local government this session?
At the state level, I believe dealing with the looming
transportation problem is especially important. Growing
traffic congestion threatens our health because it
contributes to air pollution. Traffic congestion also harms
economic growth by making businesses less productive
and towns and cities less attractive to new businesses.
Finally, traffic congestion degrades the quality of life of
all residents.
Tell us something about your family and friends (favorite
things to do with children,friends, etc.)
I have been married to my wife, Linda, for 32 years and
have two sons, Jonathan and Nicholas. Linda is active in
the community and holds leadership positions in many
groups, including the Chamber of Commerce and Arts
Council. My older son, Jonathan, is a successful realtor
and my younger son, Nicholas, is about to graduate from
Cornell University. We all enjoy travel and getting
together with friends for dining and attending local events.
Favorite vacation spot?
New Orleans (pre-Katrina) and Mexico City (pre-1985
earthquake). Maybe tourist cities will pay me not to make
them my favorite vacation spot.
A favorite hobby?
Day trips to local attractions and events.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for the opportunity.
