Subject:Relating to Budget; presentation of preliminary year-end results (July-June)
for the Town's General Fund and other selected major funds for the 2021-2022
fiscal year (Yiannis Kalaitzidis)
Discussion:
The purpose of this item is to present a summary of the Town's preliminary year-end
financial results for the Town's General Fund and other selected major funds for fiscal
year 2021-22. It is important to note that these results are preliminary, unaudited and
subject to change based upon adjusting entries, as necessary. The attached provides a
high level revenue summary, expenditure summary, and anticipated ending balances
at the year-end.
Revenue
Overall, revenues and other financing sources are within or above expectations for the
Town's General Fund and other selected funds largely fueled by a combination of
ongoing federal relief funds and low interest rates for the majority of the fiscal year
which have boosted most sectors of the economy, but also due to a reduced budget for
fiscal year 2021-2022 in anticipation of the impact of the pandemic to the economy.
Staff will provide additional detail about fourth quarter major revenue stream
collections during the presentation.
General Fund revenue is significantly above budgeted expectations and projected to
come in about 43% above budgeted amounts, primarily impacted by retail sales taxes,
which are higher than ever before, and Single Family Resident (SFR) permits. A large
part of this increase is due to second and final disbursement of $8.2 million of ARPAMarana Regular Town Council Meeting
September 6, 2022
Page 12 of 134
part of this increase is due to second and final disbursement of $8.2 million of ARPA
funding, which arrived earlier than anticipated and is being recorded in fiscal year
2022 instead of fiscal year 2023. It should be noted that most revenue categories were
higher than prior year actual revenues.
Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) revenues resulting from the collection of fees
and taxes from users of the State’s roads and highways exceeded expectations by 11%.
Revenues for the Transportation Fund which comprises 75% of all contracting taxes
collected and used for new road construction and reconstruction projects are
significantly higher than anticipated at 12% above budgeted expectations due to
significantly higher revenue earnings for the last two months of the fiscal year as
compared to prior months' trends. Contracting Sales tax revenues are estimated at
$8.4 million at year-end.
Revenues for the Bed Tax Fund, which accounts for the portion of bed tax revenues
restricted for tourism related costs, exceeded expectations after a strong recovery that
allowed the hospitality industry a return to pre-pandemic occupancy rates and
demand for hotel rooms while being able to generate higher revenues for the majority
of the year. That in turn has resulted in Bed Tax Fund revenues of $1.9 million or 53%
more than anticipated, which is likely to be a one-time event as demand and pricing in
the industry might be impacted in the near future by uncertain economic conditions.
Revenues for the Water and Water Reclamation Funds were within or above
expectations for the fiscal year due to continued account growth directly related with
the high demand for new housing and commercial projects in Marana.
Revenues for the Airport met expectations with lease income performing slightly above
budgeted levels due to a new ground lease which added to economic development
opportunities at that location. Additional detail on these variances and other listed
funds is included within the visualization slides attached to this item.
Expenditures
Expenditures in all funds are at or below expectations through the fourth quarter. This
is primarily attributable to vacancy savings, operational efficiencies and also the timing
of capital projects many of which will commence later than originally anticipated.
Also, certain purchases and projects were deferred to the next fiscal year due to
continued supply chain disruptions for equipment and materials. Additional detail on
these variances and other funds are included within the visualization slides attached to
this item.
General Fund Balance and Reserves
Based upon preliminary year-end results for fiscal year 2021-2022, we expect General
Fund reserves of approximately $46.9 million available to use for one-time projects and
other one-time needs by the end of fiscal year 2022-2023. This balance excludes items
like the General Fund reserve of 25% of budgeted revenues, or $16.8 million, the $5
million of contingency budget capacity in next year’s budget and money set aside as
part of the Town’s equipment and vehicle replacement program, which are available to
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting
September 6, 2022
Page 13 of 134
part of the Town’s equipment and vehicle replacement program, which are available to
support continued, efficient and uninterrupted service delivery. Please find a General
Fund available impact slide attached to this Council report which breaks out in greater
detail the various obligations of the General Fund. The amount of available fund
balance will change as the Town reconciles and closes the books for fiscal year
2021-2022.
The preliminary year-end update will be available on the Town's website following
tonight’s meeting. The public may interact with the Power BI tool by drilling down into
the data. The tool can be found on the following page after the Council meeting:

Discussion:
On April 19th, 2022 the Town of Marana approved The Crossroads at Gladden
Development Agreement, between the Town of Marana and Tangerine 2021, LLC
(Developer). The Development Agreement requires the Developer to contribute $2.6
million towards the design and construction of the Tangerine Traffic Interchange (TI)
Improvements. The DA agreement requires that the Developer pay the Town of
Marana $600,000 within 60 days of approval of the Development Agreement and then
$2,000,000 within 10 business days after the Town has approved a Guaranteed
Maximum Price for roadway construction. The Town of Marana received the $600,000
from the Developer on April 22, 2022.
Staff is now requesting Council approve transfer of budgeted expense authority to
fund a new CIP Project: Tangerine TI Improvements (ST107).
The project involves the reconstruction of Tangerine Road under Interstate-10 (I-10)
widening it to a seven-lanes as follows:
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting
September 6, 2022
Page 33 of 134
Construction of one new westbound travel lane and one new eastbound lane
between the existing I-10 bridge piers and the bridge abutments, one lane on the
north side of the existing roadway and one lane on the south side of existing
roadway
Construction of structural retaining walls at the north and south bridge abutments
to create space for the new travel lanes
Realignment of approximately 3,000 lenear feet of the I-10 eastbound frontage
road/ramps to shift the new eastbound frontage road/ramps intersection
approximately 150’ to the west (in line with the decommissioned original frontage
road)
Construction of a new traffic signal at the I-10 eastbound frontage road/ramps
new intersection location, and reconstruction of the I-10 westbound frontage
road/ramps traffic signal to accommodate the revised lane configuration and
widening
Addition of dual right-turn lanes for eastbound Tangerine Road at the new
eastbound frontage road/ramps intersection, with a minimum of 350’ storage for
each lane (700’ minimum total storage), or storage as recommended through a
traffic evaluation and accepted by the Town
Modifications to the eastbound on-ramp to accommodate the new dual right-turn
lanes
Addition of pedestrian and bicycle improvements to the extent possible that fit
within the constraints of the existing I-10 bridges
The design of the Tangerine TI Improvements (ST107) project will coincide with the
existing Tangerine Rd Widening project (ST098) currently being designed by Psomas
Inc. The Town of Marana has received a proposal from Psomas Inc. to design the
Tangerine TI Improvements (ST107) project for $495,291.
The estimated project cost of Tangerine TI Improvements (ST107) project will be
calculated by Psomas Inc. as the design plans near completion. Funding in the amount
of $600,000 can be re-allocated from the Tangerine Rd Widening project.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2023
Budgeted Y/N:Yes
Amount:$600,000
Funding in the amount of $600,000 was received by the Town of Marana from

Subject:Resolution No. 2022-092: Relating to the Marana Regional Airport; approving
and authorizing the Town Manager to execute the Lessor's Consent to
Leasehold Deed of Trust and Estoppel Certificate for the benefit of Western
Alliance Bank, related to the Marana Regional Airport Lease Agreement with
The J.D. Russell Company for the lease of approximately 1.078 acres of real
property located at 11155 N. Air Commerce Way at the Marana Regional
Airport (Jane Fairall)
Discussion:
The Town and The J.D. Russell Company (JDR) entered into a Lease dated June 17,
2020, for the purpose of JDR using approximately 0.817 acres of property at the
Marana Regional Airport for commercial aeronautical uses, as those uses are defined
and approved by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”),
including for the construction of a hangar on the property. The parties entered into the
First Amendment to the Lease, dated December 8, 2021, to revise the description of the
property that is the subject of the Lease to add a parcel of land consisting of
approximately 11,388 square feet or .26 acres. The term of JDR's tenancy under the
Lease is for 25 years, with one additional 10-year option period.
JDR has constructed a hangar on the leased property using self-financing. Anticipating
a June 2022 completion of the hangar, JDR contracted with Western Alliance Bank to
provide JDR with long-term financing to recover some of its out-of-pocket monies. JDR
and Western Alliance Bank contacted the Town and requested that the Town sign the
attached proposed Lessor's Consent to Leasehold Deed of Trust and Estoppel
Certificate (the "Consent") in order for JDR to receive the requested financing. If the
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting

Certificate (the "Consent") in order for JDR to receive the requested financing. If the
Town approves and executes the Consent, the Town would consent to the
encumbrance of JDR's Lease, pursuant to the recordation of the Deed of Trust, for the
benefit of Western Alliance Bank. Per the Consent, if JDR defaults on the loan from the
bank, the bank will have the right to enforce the Deed of Trust and acquire title to the
leasehold estate, and pending foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, may take possession of
and rent the premises that are the subject of the Lease. The bank may also assign the
leasehold estate to a new tenant, provided that the new tenant is capable of complying
with all applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations
governing the property, and upon not less than ten business days prior written notice
to the Town. Additionally, if JDR files for bankruptcy at any point, and the lease is
rejected under Bankruptcy Code, Western Alliance Bank will have the right to request
that the Town enter into a New Lease under the same terms as the existing Lease.
JDR is also partnering with the Town in the development of the Marana Air Commerce
Park. In May of 2021, the Town Council approved the sale of 4.184 acres of property in
Marana Air Commerce Park, adjacent to the Marana Regional Airport, to Penvesco, a
Michigan co-partnership, to develop new corporate headquarters for JDR. JDR
manufactures and distributes steel, plastic, rubber, and wood products used in the
concrete construction industry and the landscape sector, and expects to build a 25,000
to 30,000 square foot structure to house corporate activities and expanded light
production and distribution, and to initially employ approximately 30 people at this
location.
Paragraph 10.3 of the Lease agreement provides that JDR may mortgage, encumber or
assign any portion of its right, title and interest in the leasehold estate created by the
Lease to lenders for purposes of financing the initial construction of the capital
improvements required by this Lease and that any such mortgage, encumbrance or
assignment shall be subject to all of JDR's obligations under the Lease. The Lease
agreement also provides that no person or entity shall have the right to place any
mortgages, deeds of trusts, liens or encumbrances of any nature on the Town's
property, nor shall any permitted assignment result in a subordination, in whole or in
part, of the Town’s rights under the Lease. The terms of the Consent do not place any
mortgage, deed of trust, lien or encumbrance on the Town's property, only on JDR's
leasehold interest. Moreover, the Consent does not cause the Town's rights to be
subordinated. However, if the Town approves the Consent, the Town agrees that it will
not modify or cancel the Lease with JDR without notice to and prior written consent
from Western Alliance Bank. Additionally, if the Town desires to terminate or cancel
the Lease, the Town must give the bank 30 days' notice and allow the bank the
opportunity to remedy any breach of the Lease.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

LESSOR'S CONSENT TO
LEASEHOLD DEED OF TRUST AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
The undersigned Lessor hereby consents to the Deed of Trust attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the "Deed of Trust"), and the terms and conditions set forth therein and hereby agrees, warrants,
represents and certifies to Beneficiary as follows:
A.Consent.
TOWN OF MARANA, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Lessor"), the Lessor
named in that certain Marana Regional Airport Lease Agreement dated on or about June 17, 2020
(as amended by the First Amendment to Marana Regional Airport Lease Agreement dated
December 8, 2021, and as memorialized by that certain Memorandum of Lease dated June 22,
2022, and recorded ________________, 2022, at Instrument No. _______________ in the Official
Records of Pima County, Arizona, as it may be further amended, the "Lease"), which encumbers
the real property more particularly described on Exhibit A, attached hereto (the "Property"), does
hereby consent to the encumbrance of the Lease of The J.D. Russell Company, a Michigan
corporation (the "Trustor"), pursuant to the recordation of the Deed of Trust, for the benefit of
WESTERN ALLIANCE BANK, an Arizona corporation (the "Beneficiary"), upon the following
terms and conditions:
1.Enforcement of Deed of Trust. In the event of any default by the Trustor under the
Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary shall have the right to enforce the Deed of Trust and acquire title to
the leasehold estate in any lawful way, and pending foreclosure of the Deed of Trust may take
possession of and rent the premises demised by the Lease, and upon foreclosure thereof or
assignment of the Lease to the Beneficiary in lieu of foreclosure, the Beneficiary may, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Lease, and all covenants, conditions and restrictions encumbering
the Property, sell and assign the leasehold estate to a new assignee by assignment, provided that
such assignee is capable of complying with all applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
rules and regulations governing the Property, and upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior
written notice to Lessor. In addition, in the assignment, the assignee shall expressly assume and
agree to observe and perform all of the covenants of the lessee under the Lease, and such assignee
may make a purchase money deed of trust of the Lease to the Beneficiary, provided that upon
execution of any such assignment of deed of trust, a true copy thereof shall be delivered promptly
to the Lessor and that no other or further assignment of the Lease for which any provision of the
Lease requires the Lessor’s written consent shall be made without such consent. The Beneficiary
or any tenant of the Beneficiary pending foreclosure shall be liable to perform the obligations
imposed upon the lessee by the Lease only during the period such party has possession or
ownership of the leasehold estate. Nothing contained in the Deed of Trust shall release or be
deemed to relieve the Trustor from the full and faithful observance and performance of the lessee's
covenants under the Lease or from any liability for the nonobservance or nonperformance thereof,
nor be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights of the Lessor under the Lease, and the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Lease shall control in case of any conflict with the provision of
the Deed of Trust, except as herein set forth.

2.Protection of Beneficiary. No agreement between the Lessor and the Trustor
modifying, cancelling or surrendering the Lease shall be effective without the prior written consent
of the Beneficiary, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor shall take no action to
terminate or cancel the Lease for any reason including a breach by the Trustor unless and until it
shall have given Beneficiary thirty (30) days' prior written notice advising Beneficiary of the action
proposed to be taken and the reasons thereof. During such thirty (30) day period, Beneficiary may,
at its own option, without relieving the Trustor of any of its obligations under any Loan Document,
take any actions necessary in order to eliminate the reasons for the proposed action of Lessor.
In the event of the bankruptcy of the Trustor, the Lessor agrees to extend the two hundred
ten (210) day limitation period under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for such period of
time as is reasonable and necessary for the Beneficiary to perform the undertakings agreed upon
in the paragraph immediately below, provided that all rent and other charges due under the Lease
are paid.
In consideration of the Lessor's agreement in the paragraph immediately above and to the
"New Lease" provisions in favor of the Beneficiary contained in paragraph (a) below, in the event
the Beneficiary elects to pursue its rights and remedies in and to the Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary
does hereby undertake and agree for the benefit of Lessor that if at any time a bankruptcy
proceeding shall be commenced concerning the Trustor and/or the leasehold estate that the
Beneficiary shall use its reasonable efforts to diligently and in good faith, obtain or cause the
Trustor and/or Trustee in Bankruptcy to obtain within the statutory time period or any extension
thereof provided under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code for the rejection or assumption of
leases,:
(i)an extension of the period during which the Lease may be assumed or
rejected as ordered by the Court; or
(ii)an abandonment of the leasehold estate by the bankruptcy court pursuant to
Section 554 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended; or
(iii)an assumption or assumption and assignment of the Lease pursuant to
Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended.
In the event that, notwithstanding the Beneficiary's compliance with the provisions
immediately preceding, an actual or deemed rejection of the Lease shall occur under any provision
of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor law having similar effect,
then, and in any such event, the Beneficiary (or the first Beneficiary if more than one) shall
thereupon have the option to obtain a new lease ("New Lease") of the Property in accordance with
and upon the following terms and conditions:
(a)Within sixty (60) days after the Beneficiary has delivered to the Lessor
written request for a New Lease (such written request to be delivered to Lessor within sixty
(60) days after the Beneficiary receives from the Lessor written notice of the actual or
deemed rejection of the Lease), Lessor shall enter into a New Lease of the Property with
such Beneficiary, or its designee, provided, however, that if Lessor receives no such written

I:\FILES\DOCS\ALLI08\20220463\LOAN\18J1096.DOCX
request within said sixty (60) day period, then all of Beneficiary's rights to a New Lease
hereunder shall automatically terminate.
(b)Such New Lease shall be effective as of the date of the actual or deemed
rejection of the Lease and shall be for the remainder of the term of the Lease at the same
rent, additional rent and other charges therein provided and otherwise upon the same
agreements, terms, covenants and conditions contained therein, except that the New Lease
shall also include an additional indemnity paragraph under the terms of which the lessee
shall indemnify and hold the Lessor harmless from and against all claims, demands or
liability whatsoever (except those arising from the negligence or misconduct of Lessor) by
whomsoever made for loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the issuance of
the New Lease and will promptly reimburse Lessor for its costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in connection with the defense of any such claims. The
New Lease issued hereunder shall have the same relative priority in time and right as the
Lease and have the benefit of and vest in the Beneficiary (or first Beneficiary if more than
one) all of the same rights, title, interest, powers and privileges of the Trustor under the
Lease. The New Lease shall, subject to the same agreements, terms, covenants and
conditions contained in the Lease, also demise to the Beneficiary or its designee all
buildings, improvements and appurtenances situated on the Property, together with all
equipment, fixtures and machinery therein. Concurrently with execution of the New Lease,
Lessor shall assign its interest in and to any then existing sublease under which the tenant
has attorned to and been recognized by Lessor. During the period between the actual or
deemed rejection of the Lease and execution of the New Lease, Lessor shall not amend or
modify the subleases or take any action which will adversely affect the Property or give
rise to any liens against the Property.
(c)As a condition to and concurrently with delivery of said New Lease, the
lessee named therein shall pay any and all sums which would at the time of the execution
thereof be due under the Lease but for the rejection as aforesaid, and shall fully otherwise
remedy any existing defaults under the Lease susceptible of cure by Beneficiary, or such
designee, and shall pay to Lessor all costs and expenses, including but not limited to any
insurance premiums paid or incurred by Lessor in order to maintain the insurance coverage
required under the terms of the Lease, and the reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred
by Lessor in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of such New Lease.
Any default which cannot be cured by such lessee until it obtains possession shall be cured
by the lessee within a reasonable time after it obtains possession.
(d)The Beneficiary, if it is the initial lessee under the New Lease, may assign
such New Lease to a new assignee by assignment, provided that such assignee is capable
of complying with all applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and
regulations governing the Property, and upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior
written notice to Lessor. In addition, in the assignment, the assignee shall expressly assume
and agree to observe and perform all of the covenants of the lessee under the Lease, and
Beneficiary shall thereupon be released from all liability for the performance or observance
of the covenants and conditions in such New Lease contained and on the lessee's part to be
performed and observed from and after the date of such assignment, provided that a
certified copy of such assignment be provided to Lessor.

Ownership by or for the same person of both the fee and leasehold estates in the Property
shall not effect the merger thereof, without the prior written consent of any beneficiary of either
such estate to such merger.
B.Estoppel Certificate.
The Lessor hereby certifies to the Beneficiary that (1) the Lease is in full force and effect

in effect; (2) the Trustor is not in default in the payment of rent under the Lease or, to the best of
Lessor's knowledge, in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition to be
performed or observed by the lessee thereunder; (3) no event has occurred which authorizes, or
with the lapse of time will authorize, the Lessor to terminate the Lease; (4) the execution and
delivery by the Trustor of the Deed of Trust will constitute neither a breach of the Trustor's
obligations as lessee under the Lease, nor an event of default thereunder; and (5) a copy of any
notice to be sent by the Lessor to the Trustor pursuant to the Lease shall be sent by the Lessor to
the Beneficiary.
As used herein, the terms "Lessor", "Trustor" and "Beneficiary" shall mean and include the
Lessor, the Trustor and the Beneficiary named above and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, successors in trust and assigns. Where there is more than one Lessor,
Trustor or Beneficiary, the use of the singular shall be construed to include the plural wherever the
context shall so require. The use of any gender herein shall include all genders.
This consent is given upon the understanding and condition that should there be any
conflict between the terms of the Lease and the terms of the Deed of Trust, the Lease shall control,
except as hereinabove set forth; and that nothing herein shall be construed as being a waiver of
any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease.

PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. Except as otherwise provided in this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall pay to Lender
all amounts secured by this Deed of Trust as they become due, and shall strictly and in a timely manner perform all of
Trustor's obligations under the Note, this Deed of Trust, and the Related Documents.
POSSESSION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY. Trustor agrees that Trustor's possession and use of the
Property shall be governed by the following provisions:
Possession and Use. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustor may (1) remain in possession and
control of the Property; (2) use, operate or manage the Property; and (3) collect the Rents from the Property.
Duty to Maintain. Trustor shall maintain the Property in tenantable condition and promptly perform all repairs,
replacements, and maintenance necessary to preserve its value.
Compliance With Environmental Laws. Trustor represents and warrants to Lender that: (1) During the period
of Trustor's leasehold interest in the Property, there has been no use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment,
disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance by any person on, under, about or from the
Property; (2) Trustor has no knowledge of, or reason to believe that there has been, except as previously
disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, (a) any breach or violation of any Environmental Laws, (b)
any use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, disposal, release or threatened release of any Hazardous
Substance on, under, about or from the Property by any prior owners or occupants of the Property, or (c) any
actual or threatened litigation or claims of any kind by any person relating to such matters; and (3) Except as
previously disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing, (a) neither Trustor nor any tenant, contractor,
agent or other authorized user of the Property shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of or release
any Hazardous Substance on, under, about or from the Property; and (b) any such activity shall be conducted
in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances, including without
limitation all Environmental Laws. Trustor authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the Property to make
such inspections and tests, at Trustor's expense, as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the
Property with this section of the Deed of Trust. Beneficiary, at its option, but without obligation to do so, may
correct any condition violating any applicable Environmental Law affecting the Property, and in doing so shall
conclusively be deemed to be acting reasonably and for the purpose of protecting the value of its collateral, and all
costs of correcting a condition or violation shall be payable to Beneficiary by Trustor as provided in the Expenditures
by Lender section of this Deed of Trust. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be for Lender's purposes
only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Trustor or to any
other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Trustor's due diligence in
investigating the Property for Hazardous Substances. Trustor hereby (1) releases and waives any future claims
against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Trustor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under
any such laws; and (2) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims,
losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer
resulting from a breach of this section of the Deed of Trust or as a consequence of any use, generation,
manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release occurring prior to Trustor's ownership or interest in
the Property, whether or not the same was or should have been known to Trustor. The provisions of this section
of the Deed of Trust, including the obligation to indemnify and defend, shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness
and the satisfaction and reconveyance of the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall not be affected by Lender's
acquisition of any interest in the Property, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.
Nuisance, Waste. Trustor shall not cause, conduct or permit any nuisance nor commit, permit, or suffer any
stripping of or waste on or to the Property or any portion of the Property. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Trustor will not remove, or grant to any other party the right to remove, any timber, minerals (including
oil and gas), coal, clay, scoria, soil, gravel or rock products without Lender's prior written consent.
Removal of Improvements. Trustor shall not demolish or remove any Improvements from the Real Property
without Lender's prior written consent. As a condition to the removal of any Improvements, Lender may require
Trustor to make arrangements satisfactory to Lender to replace such Improvements with Improvements of at least
equal value.
Lender's Right to Enter. Lender and Lender's agents and representatives may enter upon the Real Property at
all reasonable times to attend to Lender's interests and to inspect the Real Property for purposes of Trustor's
Exhibit A to Marana Resolution No. 2022-092

compliance with the terms and conditions of this Deed of Trust.
Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Trustor shall promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, and
regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the use or occupancy of the
Property, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act. Trustor may contest in good faith any
such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals,
so long as Trustor has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion, Lender's
interests in the Property are not jeopardized. Lender may require Trustor to post adequate security or a surety
bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.
Duty to Protect. Trustor agrees neither to abandon or leave unattended the Property. Trustor shall do all other
acts, in addition to those acts set forth above in this section, which from the character and use of the Propert y are
reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the Property.
Compliance with Lease. Trustor will pay all rents and will strictly observe and perform on a timely basis all other
terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease. Trustor will indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless against
all losses, liabilities, actions, suits, proceedings, costs including attorneys' fees claims, demands, and damages
whatsoever which may be incurred by reason of Trustor's failure to pay rents or strictly observe or perform under
the Lease.
Other Agreements Relating to the Lease. Trustor further agrees (1) not to surrender, terminate, or cancel the
Lease, and (2) not to modify, change, supplement, alter, or amend the Lease, either orally or in writing, without
Lender's prior written consent. Any attempt by Trustor to do any of the foregoing without Lender's prior written
consent will be void and of no force and effect. At Lender's option, Trustor will deposit with Lender as further
security all original documents relating to the Lease and the leasehold interest in the Property. Unless Trustor is
in breach or default of any of the terms contained in this Deed of Trust, Lender will have no right to cancel, modify,
change, supplement, alter or amend the leasehold interest. No estate in the Property, whether fee title to the
leasehold premises, the leasehold estate, or any subleasehold estate, will merge without Lender express written
consent; rather these estates will remain separate and distinct, even if there is a union of these estates in the
landlord, Trustor, or a third party who purchases or otherwise acquires the estates. Trustor further agrees that if
Trustor acquires all or a portion of the fee simple title, or any other leasehold or subleasehold title to the Property,
that title will, at Lender's option, immediately become subject to the terms of this Deed of Trust, and Trustor will
execute, deliver and record all documents necessary or appropriate to assure that such title is secured by this Deed
of Trust.
Notices Relating to the Lease. Trustor will promptly notify Lender in writing:
(1) if Trustor is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions which
Trustor is to perform or observe under the Lease;
(2) if any event occurs which would constitute a default under the Lease;
(3) if any notice of default is given to Trustor by the landlord under the Lease;
(4) if, pursuant to the Lease, any proceeds received for the Property are deposited with someone other than
Lender, whether received from any insurance on the Property or from the taking of any or all of the Property by
eminent domain; and
(5) if any arbitration or appraisal proceedings are requested or instituted pursuant to the Lease.
Trustor agrees to provide Lender promptly with a copy of all written materials relating to any of the above and to
provide Lender with such other information as Lender may reasonably request. Trustor agrees that promptly after
the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, Trustor will notify the landlord under the Lease in writing of the
execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and of the name and address of Lender and will deliver a copy of this
Deed of Trust to the landlord.
Option to Cure Lease Default. Upon Lender's receipt of any written notice of Trustor's default under the Lease,
Lender may, at Lender's option, cure such default, even though Trustor, or any party on behalf of Trustor, questions
or denies the existence of such default or the nature of the default. Trustor expressly grants to Lender the absolute
and immediate right to enter upon the Property to such extent and as often as Lender in it sole discretion deems
Exhibit A to Marana Resolution No. 2022-092
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting
September 6, 2022
Page 57 of 134
4
necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any such default by Trustor.
DUE ON SALE - CONSENT BY LENDER. Lender may, at Lender's option, declare immediately due and payable all
sums secured by this Deed of Trust upon the sale or transfer, without Lender's prior written consent, of all or any part
of the Real Property, or any interest in the Real Property. A "sale or transfer" means the conveyance of Real Property
or any right, title or interest in the Real Property; whether legal, beneficial or equitable; whether voluntary or involuntary;
whether by outright sale, deed, installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, leasehold interest with a term
greater than three (3) years, lease-option contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial interest in or to
any land trust holding title to the Real Property, or by any other method of conveyance of an interest in the Real
Property. If any Trustor is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, transfer also includes any
restructuring of the legal entity (whether by merger, division or otherwise) or any change in ownership of more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting stock, partnership interests or limited liability company interests, as the case
may be, of such Trustor. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by federal
law or by Arizona law.
TAXES AND LIENS. The following provisions relating to the taxes and liens on the Property are part of this Deed of
Trust:
Payment. Trustor shall pay when due (and in all events prior to delinquency) all taxes and assessments, including
without limitation sales or use taxes in any state, local privilege or excise taxes based on gross revenues, special
taxes, charges (including water and sewer), fines and impositions levied against Trustor or on account of the
Property, and shall pay when due all claims for work done on or for services rendered or material furnished to the
Property. Trustor shall maintain the Property free of all liens having priority over or equal to the interest of Lender
under this Deed of Trust, except for the lien of taxes and assessments not due and except as otherwise provided
in this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the duty or obligation, to charge Trustor for any such
taxes or assessments in advance of payment. In no event does exercise or non-exercise by Beneficiary of this
right relieve Trustor from Trustor's obligation under this Deed of Trust or impose any liability whatsoever on
Beneficiary.
Right to Contest. Trustor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment, or claim in connection with a good faith
dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Lender's interest in the Property is not jeopardized. If a lien arises
or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Trustor shall within fifteen (15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed,
within fifteen (15) days after Trustor has notice of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien, or if requested by
Lender, deposit with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an
amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs and attorneys' fees, or other charges that could accrue as a
result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. In any contest, Trustor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy
any adverse judgment before enforcement against the Property. Trustor shall name Lender as an additional
obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.
Evidence of Payment. Trustor shall upon demand furnish to Lender satisfactory evidence of payment of the
taxes or assessments and shall authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at any time a
written statement of the taxes and assessments against the Property.
Notice of Construction. Trustor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (15) days before any work is commenced, any
services are furnished, or any materials are supplied to the Property, if any mechanic's lien, materialmen's lien, or
other lien could be asserted on account of the work, services, or materials and the cost exceeds $10,000.00.
Trustor will upon request of Lender furnish to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that Trustor can
and will pay the cost of such improvements.
PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part of this Deed
of Trust.
Maintenance of Insurance. Trustor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance with standard extended
coverage endorsements on a replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all Improvements on the Real
Property in an amount sufficient to avoid application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee
clause in favor of Lender. Trustor shall also procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in
such coverage amounts as Lender may request with Trustee and Lender being named as additional insureds in
such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Trustor shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited
Exhibit A to Marana Resolution No. 2022-092
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting
September 6, 2022
Page 58 of 134
5
to hazard, business interruption, and boiler insurance, as Lender may reasonably require. Policies shall be written
in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Trustor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the
policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be
cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also
shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act,
omission or default of Trustor or any other person. Should the Real Property be located in an area designated by
the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Trustor agrees
to obtain and maintain flood insurance, if available, within 45 days after notice is given by Lender that the Property
is located in a special flood hazard area, for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the
property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as
otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan. Flood insurance may be
purchased under the National Flood Insurance Program, from private insurers providing "private flood insurance"
as defined by applicable federal flood insurance statutes and regulations, or from another flood insurance provider
that is both acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and permitted by applicable federal flood insurance statutes
and regulations.
Application of Proceeds. Trustor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Property if the
estimated cost of repair or replacement exceeds $10,000.00. Lender may make proof of loss if Trustor fails to do
so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. Whether or not Lender's security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender's
election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the
Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property. If Lender
elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Trustor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed
Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay
or reimburse Trustor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Trustor is not in default
under this Deed of Trust. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and
which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount
owing to Lender under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied
to the principal balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the
Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Trustor as Trustor's interests may appear.
Trustor's Report on Insurance. Upon request of Lender, however not more than once a year, Trustor shall
furnish to Lender a report on each existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the name of the insurer; (2) the
risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured, the then current replacement value of
such property, and the manner of determining that value; and (5) the expiration date of the policy. Trustor shall,
upon request of Lender, have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine the cash value
replacement cost of the Property.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interest
in the Property or if Trustor fails to comply with any provision of this Deed of Trust or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Trustor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Trustor is required to discharge or pay
under this Deed of Trust or any Related Documents, Lender on Trustor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed
on the Property and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Trustor. All such expenses will become a part of the
Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note
and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term
of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment
which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. The Deed of Trust also will secure payment of these amounts.
Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default and shall be exercisable by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law.
WARRANTY; DEFENSE OF TITLE. The following provisions relating to ownership of the Property are a part of this

Trustor will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender such instruments as Lender may request from time to time
to permit such participation.

CONDEMNATION. The following provisions relating to condemnation proceedings are a part of this Deed of Trust:
Proceedings. If any proceeding in condemnation is filed, Trustor shall promptly notify Lender in writing, and
Trustor shall promptly take such steps as may be necessary to defend the action and obtain the award. Trustor

be represented in the proceeding by counsel of its own choice, and Trustor will deliver or cause to be delivered to
Lender such instruments and documentation as may be requested by Lender from time to time to permit such
participation.
Application of Net Proceeds. If all or any part of the Property is condemned by eminent domain proceedings or
by any proceeding or purchase in lieu of condemnation, Lender may at its election require that all or any portion of
the net proceeds of the award be applied to the Indebtedness or the repair or restoration of the Property. The net
proceeds of the award shall mean the award after payment of all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees
incurred by Trustee or Lender in connection with the condemnation.
IMPOSITION OF TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. The following provisions
relating to governmental taxes, fees and charges are a part of this Deed of Trust:
Current Taxes, Fees and Charges. Upon request by Lender, Trustor shall execute such documents in addition
to this Deed of Trust and take whatever other action is requested by Lender to perfect and continue Lender's lien
on the Real Property. Trustor shall reimburse Lender for all taxes, as described below, together with all expenses
incurred in recording, perfecting or continuing this Deed of Trust, including without limitation all taxes, fees,
documentary stamps, and other charges for recording or registering this Deed of Trust.

Trust, this event shall have the same effect as an Event of Default, and Lender may exercise any or all of its
available remedies for an Event of Default as provided below unless Trustor either (1) pays the tax before it
becomes delinquent, or (2) contests the tax as provided above in the Taxes and Liens section and deposits with
Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender.

agency against any property securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Trustor's accounts,
including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith
dispute by Trustor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture
proceeding and if Trustor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with
Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its
sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
Lease Default. Trustor defaults under the terms of the Lease, or any other event (whether or not Trustor's fault)
results in the termination or cancellation of Trustor's leasehold rights.
Breach of Other Agreement. Any breach by Trustor under the terms of any other agreement between Trustor

prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Deed of Trust, at any time
thereafter, Trustee or Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:
Election of Remedies. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy,
and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Trustor under this Deed of Trust,
after Trustor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.
Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option without notice to Trustor to declare the entire
Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty which Trustor would be required to
pay.

Foreclosure. With respect to all or any part of the Real Property, the Trustee shall have the right to foreclose by
notice and sale, and Lender shall have the right to foreclose by judicial foreclosure, in either case in accordance
with and to the full extent provided by applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, Trustor shall be and remain
liable for any deficiency remaining after sale, either pursuant to the power of sale or judicial proceedings.
UCC Remedies. With respect to all or any part of the Personal Property, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Trustor to take possession of and manage the
Property and collect the Rents, including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and
above Lender's costs, against the Indebtedness. In furtherance of this right, Lender may require any tenant or
other user of the Property to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by
Lender, then Trustor irrevocably designates Lender as Trustor's attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received
in payment thereof in the name of Trustor and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds. Payments by
tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender's demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the
payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights
under this subparagraph either in person, by agent, or through a receiver.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part
of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure
or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the
receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender's right
to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds the
Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a
receiver.
Tenancy at Sufferance. If Trustor remains in possession of the Property after the Property is sold as provided
above or Lender otherwise becomes entitled to possession of the Property upon default of Trustor, Trustor shall
become a tenant at sufferance of Lender or the purchaser of the Property and shall, at Lender's option, either (1)
pay a reasonable rental for the use of the Property, or (2) vacate the Property immediately upon the demand of
Lender.
Other Remedies. Trustee or Lender shall have any other right or remedy provided in this Deed of Trust or the
Note or available at law or in equity.
Notice of Sale. Lender shall give Trustor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Personal
Property or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Personal Property is to be
made. Reasonable notice shall mean notice given at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition.
Any sale of the Personal Property may be made in conjunction with any sale of the Real Property.
Sale of the Property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Trustor hereby waives any and all rights to have
the Property marshalled. In exercising its rights and remedies, the Trustee or Lender shall be free to sell all or any
part of the Property together or separately, in one sale or by separate sales. Lender shall be entitled to bid at any
public sale on all or any portion of the Property.
Insurance Policies. Lender shall have the right upon an Event of Default, but not the obligation, to assign all of
Trustor's right, title and interest in and to all policies of insurance on the Property and any unearned premiums paid
on such insurance to any receiver or any purchaser of the Property at a foreclosure sale, and Trustor hereby
appoints Lender as attorney in fact to assign and transfer such policies.
Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the terms of this Deed of
Trust, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys' fees at trial
and upon any appeal. Whether or not any court action is involved, and to the extent not prohibited by law, all
reasonable expenses Lender incurs that in Lender's opinion are necessary at any time for the protection of its
interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear
interest at the Note rate from the date of the expenditure until repaid. Expenses covered by this paragraph include,
without limitation, however subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal
expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and expenses for bankruptcy proceedings

(including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment
collection services, the cost of searching records, obtaining title reports (including foreclosure reports), surveyors'
reports, and appraisal fees, title insurance, and fees for the Trustee, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

law.

written agreement represents the final agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, (b) there

that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered

Town Manager Terry Rozema provided opening remarks related to the process and
development of the Strategic Plan Update V (A copy of the presentation is on file in the Town
Clerk’s Office for review upon request), that this meeting would provide the Council with
one last opportunity to review and provide direction to Town staff before Strategic Plan
Update V is brought forward to Council during its September 6, 2022 meeting for
consideration.
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo reviewed each of the focus areas of the
draft Strategic Plan V, and stated that previous feedback from Town Council have been
included with the draft before Council and meetings with Town staff have followed. The
draft is not the final product, as Council has the opportunity to provide additional
comments and directions. She gave an overview of the process to occur during this
meeting as Council will review each of the focus areas and provide feedback to Town
staff, and reminds staff that this will be the final opportunity for input to be incorporated
in the Strategic Plan V before Town Council adoption.
Below are the comments made by Council and Town staff during the review of each focus
area of the draft Strategic Plan V.
Focus Area 1: Cherished Heritage (CH)
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Cherished
Heritage Goal 1.
Mayor Honea questioned regarding whether it should be more specific or general. –
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs that actions are intended to be
more specific.
Vice Mayor Post commented that Strategies 1.1 (Prepare a Marana Cultural and Heritage
Preservation Plan that provides a comprehensive record of local historic and cultural
resources, and include strategies for celebrating the Town’s unique identity) and 1.2
(Create educational programs and initiatives that increase community awareness of the
Town’s rich heritage) look great.
Mayor Honea asked about the grain silos, and whether the plan mentions them. Town
Manager Terry Rozema referred the Mayor to Strategy 3.2.
Council Member Ziegler mentions that she is glad Community Partners and Heritage
Organizations were well captured and that funds will be applied towards this. Assistant
to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo confirms this and explains what emphasis will be
placed on this.
Regarding Strategy CH 2.2 - Consensus that expanding art policy is a good idea.

Vice Mayor Post asks for clarification on the Private Development Art Project and
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo explains how this will expand funds
for private development. Town Manager Terry Rozema says it is intended for larger
developments like Premium Outlet Mall or the Walmart on Cortaro. This is for working
with larger private developer coming in to plan and implement art throughout our town.
Council Member Ziegler asks for clarification on the Art Policy and if we can expand
public art projects into private development. Town Manager Terry Rozema responds
that the intent of the art policy is about commercial, larger developments. The Town is
working with private developers to plan and implement art in the community and make
it more prevalent. Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo suggests an addition
of a definition for a “heritage-based art project.” Will be discussed further.
Council Member Kai recommends looking at Oro Valley Art Policy for guidance.
Regarding Strategy 3.2, Council Member Jackie Craig recommends the Heritage
Museum in Springerville as an example. Council Member Ziegler expressed concerns
that there was not much interest in a museum in the past, but she approves of conducting
a feasibility study. Council Member Officer says the Town should do a museum and
expressed his belief that the museum failed in the past because volunteerism wasn’t there.
Consensus: Council is pleased with Cherished Heritage and would like staf f to put
funding towards the goals and strategies.
Focus Area 2: Vibrant Community
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Vibrant
Community Goals 1 and 2.
Council Member Ziegler asks about current HCP that was developed and whether to
vote on it and Vice Mayor Post suggests that a new one should be done and that this is
important to constituents, but it can incorporate helpful information from the HCP.
Town Manager Terry Rozema clarified that VC 1.2 action is separate/different than
HCP. Deals with open space and wildlife conservation relative to development. This is
for identifying what things should look like and to what extent do we want to ensure
there is a natural pathway for the animals and/or what setback we are dealing with.
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Vibrant
Community Goals 3 and 4.
Council Member Craig recommends adding utilization of “Complete Streets” to the
Transportation Master Plan in Strategy 3.1 (Update the Transportation Master Plan to

Rozema agrees to include under Strategy 3.1.
Council Member Post asks about the high-speed rail project between Tucson and
Phoenix and notes that there are large companies moving to Pinal County and there is
not the housing to support it.
Council Member Post asks about the new roundabout by the high school and Town staff
report that it is running smooth even when busy.
Council Member Craig questions the lack of public transportation.
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Vibrant
Community Goal 5.
Council Member Post suggests that there are many options in the Strategic Plan V
Update that the Citizens’ Forum could consider, such as water conservation and energy
conservation. Mayor Honea suggest using CDBG funding to replace all toilets in Honea
Heights.
Mayor Honea states that housing needs are an issue of importance to both the League of
Cities and Towns and the Arizona legislature. Mayor Honea and Councilmember Craig
both seek to focus on affordable housing.
Council Member Kai seeks an increase in dumpsters in neighborhoods and funding for
it. Town Manager Terry Rozema reports that it is anticipated that the Town will receive
350,000 in funding from CDBG and that dumpsters will be prioritized and if Town
Council wants additional funding towards dumping, town staff will follow the direction.
Deputy Town Manager Erik Montague notes there is also the Waste Management
quarterly rollout program.
Council Member Ziegler states that the Citizens Forum needs to be revamped and
encourages that moving forward, rather than individual prioritizing from various to pics,
all seven members of the Council should agree on a topic from a list determining what is
the most important topic. Council Member Craig notes that it is problematic that the
recommendation from the Citizens Forum are not often done. Assistant to the Town
Manager Andrea Caicedo responds that she is currently planning on presenting options
to the Town Council for the Citizens Forum moving forward. Council Member Ziegler
requests that the size of the Citizens Forum and the quorum have varied and Assistant
to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo responds that this can be addressed.

Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Thriving
Commerce Goals 1 and 2.
Council Member Craig questions financing State Land development along Tangerine
Road. Vice Mayor Post says State Land wants to bring industry into the state. Town
Manager Terry Rozema adds that there are lots of obstacles to development there
including utilities. Town Manager Rozema reports that State Land has communicated it
is open to selling land and the director of State Land expressed a desire for opening lines
of communication. Consensus that there will not be water and sewer there for purpose
of development.
Council Member Ziegler wants more information on Business Retention and Expansion
Program. Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo reports that this will involve
the Economic Development Department creating a program focused on bigger industries
focused on retention and more frequent communication.
Council Member Ziegler wants something at every exit off the freeway so that you know
you are in Marana. There is consensus that it is a great idea and there should be ongoing
discussions about what it could be. Town Manager Terry Rozema suggests looking at
the wayfinders on Ina Road and that the Communications Department at the Town is a
good resource for ideas moving forward.
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Thriving
Commerce Goals 3 and 4.
Council Member Craig questions if it is worth having our own tourism website as
opposed to being part of Visit Tucson. Mayor Honea reports that Visit Tucson wanted
half of our bed tax (approximately 700-800,000 per Vice Mayor Post), so the Town then
started its own Economic Development Department. Both Vice Mayor Post and Mayor
Honea report that we are currently using the bed tax for the lease and other Town needs.
Council Member Ziegler questioned when the last Airport Master Plan was done and it
was reported by staff that it was probably in 2016 or 2017. Council Member Kai asked
who is running the airport and was informed that Galen Beem, a 17-year Town employee,
is at the airport. Vice Mayor Post questions if there is a manager for the FBO at the airport
and is informed by staff that Peter is the person there.
Focus Area 4: Healthy Lifestyles
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Healthy
Lifestyles Goals 1 and 2.

Council Member Craig notes that Strategy 1.5 action item to complete the CalPortland
section of the Santa Cruz Shared Use Path is nearly completed and suggests tie into CAP
and Tortolita Mountain trails to beef this up a little.
Council Member Craig opines Goal 2 (Identify open space areas and balance with the
needs of the community) might be a good place for Barnett Channel Park goal. Town
Manager Terry Rozema expresses concern about adding it since Strategic Plan Update V
is a five-year plan and the Park would not be completed during that time.
Focus Area 5: Proactive Public Services
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Proactive
Public Services Goals 1 and 2.
Council Member Craig recommends adding working on building codes to build in
sustainable features, like plug-in cars and recirculating pumps, under Strategy 1.3.
Council Member Ziegler suggests removing grass for water conservation and adding
rocks, also requiring less maintenance.
Councilmember Kai, referring to Strategy 1.5 action to develop a drainage manual, and
questions if is a regional study and asks what would be included in the drainage manual.
Deputy Town Manager Erik Montague reports it would have design standards and
maintenance requirements, cites as an example the millions of dollars of drainage in
Saguaro Bloom, and emphasizes the importance of drainage to the Town.
Council Member Craig questions that there is not a goal specific to water conservation
what can be done to calm public concerns regarding water conservation and to show that
the Town is planning for water conservation. Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea
Caicedo responds that the action under Strategy 2.2 includes a public campaign to
increase awareness.

Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo directs the discussion to Proactive
Public Services Goals 3 and 4.
Council Member Ziegler asks the timeframe for the update to the Facilities Master Plan
and is informed it will be done this year. Vice Mayor Post says that will be an interesting
document. Council Member Ziegler questions whether we need more facilities and

accommodate growth in the Town and make better use of space that we currently have,

but notes that the current building was done in 2006 and questions the future placement
of our facilities either on the current campus or in substations. Mayor Honea cites the
benefit of keeping buildings on the main campus to enhance efficient service for citizens
and enhanced efficiency when Town staff know each other and work together often due
to proximity.
Councilmember Kai, referring to Strategy 3.2, asks about possibly billing requesting
parties for public records requests due to Town staff time to process. Deputy Town
Attorney Libby Shelton explains there can be charges for staff time when it is a
commercial records request, but not when it is a standard public records request. Deputy
Town Attorney Libby Shelton further notes that in the past there were charges to
requestors for the cost of the paper to produce records, but now most requests are
processed digitally. Mayor Honea notes that this is an issue often addressed at the
League of Cities and Town and that other cities in Maricopa County have dedicated staff
to public records and the courts have frowned on charging.
Assistant to the Town Manager Andrea Caicedo addresses what the public facing
Strategic Plan V document will look like.

A1 Ordinance No. 2022.012: Relating to Utilities; amending Town Code Title 14
(Utilities) by adding new Chapter 14-11 (Non-Potable Water Service Within Cortaro-
Marana Irrigation District Boundaries) (Jing Luo)
Water Director Jing Luo provided a presentation related to new Chapter 14-11 of the
Marana Town Code. She introduced the topic with a brief statement regarding the
historic drought and the resulting cuts in Colorado River water allocations that have
made optimizing the use of renewable water resources increasingly important. A brief
overview of her presentation is below. (A copy of the PowerPoint presentation is available on
file in the Town Clerk’s Office for review upon request.)
Background
• The 2013 intergovernmental agreement between the Town and the Cortaro-
Marana Irrigation District (“CMID”) transferred the North Marana non-potable
water system to CMID, but did not address certain administrative matters. It did
not require developers to connect to CMID’s non-potable system.
• Potable water is currently used for landscape irrigation in most neighborhoods
with the exception of a few subdivisions.
• No recharge credit is collected on irrigation water.
• Non-potable water use represents 10–15% of total water use within Marana
Water’s service area.
Two maps were shown related to CMID’s service area and non-potable system.
Goals and Purposes
• Optimize the use of renewable water resources in Marana’s current water
portfolio.
• Reduce the Town’s potable water obligations for non-potable use.
• Increase the use of CMID’s available water rights in North Marana.
Outreach Activities
Since Council Study Session on July 14, 2020
• On July 14, 2020, Council unanimously moved to direct staff to bring a finalized
ordinance before Council.
• Town staff worked closely with CMID’s staff and attorney.
• Town staff held multiple meetings with stakeholders, including CMID, SAHBA
and MPA.
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting

Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes
August 16, 2022 Page 5 of 8
• Several rounds of feedback were received from CMID, SAHBA, and other
stakeholders. The feedback was carefully considered and, where appropriate,
incorporated into the proposed ordinance.
• Both Marana Water and CMID updated their websites to include information
about non-potable water service.
• Town staff facilitated a joint meeting with CMID and SAHBA to discuss
implementing the new ordinance.
The following list of outreach activities was shown:
Meetings or Outreach Activities Conducted with Stakeholders
• Efforts made in 2021
• March 7, 2022 – Non-potable Water Presentation to SAHBA Members
• March 22, 2022 – Non-potable Water Presentation to MPA Members
• April 6, 2022 – Coordination Meeting with CMID on Non-potable Water
• June 10, 2022 – Follow-up Meeting with MPA Members
• June 27, 2022 – Follow-up Meeting with SAHBA Members
• July 5, 2022 – Coordination Meeting with CMID on Non-potable Water
• July 6, 2022 – Pulled the Item from Council Agenda for July 12 Meeting
• July 19, 2002 – Three-party Meeting SAHBA/CMID/TOM
• Numerous conversations with SAHBA Leadership
• Received written feedback from SAHBA numerous times and provided written
responses
Key Components of the Proposed Ordinance
Proposed Non-potable Water Service Ordinance
• Addresses the coordinated expansion of the non-potable water system, which is
not addressed by the 2013 IGA.
• Coordinating with CMID for non-potable water service is required when:
o Required as a rezoning condition.
o The cost of installing non-potable infrastructure is equal to or less than the
20-year cost saving of using CMID’s non-potable water versus Marana’s
potable water.
o When the Town Council requires the connection to offset the environmental
burden of a particular project.
• CMID may waive the right to serve.
• Requires the Marana Water Director and CMID, and/or its management agent to
enter a MOU in order to ensure consistency in the provision of service and to
coordinate compliance with the Town Code and other regulations.

to execute the First Amendment to Intergovernmental Agreement between the Cortaro -
Marana Irrigation District and the Town of Marana relating to the ownership and
operation of the non-potable water system in north Marana (Jane Fairall)
Assistant Town Attorney David Udall provided a brief overview of the item, stating the
Town entered into an intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”) with CMID in 2013 in order
transfer the Town’s non-potable water system to CMID. Mr. Udall further stated that, if
adopted, the amendment would make two substantive changes to the original IGA:
(1) Paragraph 18 would be revised to clarify the agreement’s geographic area to
include areas CMID now supplies with non-potable water services but did not at
the time of the original IGA, and to include any future expansion of CMID’s
boundaries; and
(2) Paragraph 19 would be revised to allow for CMID and the Town to negotiate
toward a solution in the event CMID no longer provided non-potable water to one
or more areas in the Town instead of the system automatically reverting to the
Town, as is currently the case under the original agreement.
Mr. Udall noted that representatives of CMID were also present in the event the Council
had any questions for them.
Vice Mayor Post asked if there were any questions. There were not any questions.

Agent for purposes of performing its functions under this Agreement.
b.Buyer shall execute and deposit into escrow, on or before the Closing Date, the
cash and other documents required to consummate the purchase and sale pursuant to

the terms set forth in this Agreement.
d.Escrow Agent shall cause to be drafted any other documents to be recorded or
signed by the Parties as may be necessary to carry out the terms set forth in this

10.Title Review, Title Insurance, and Feasibility Period.
a.Title Policy Order. Within five days of the Effective Date, the Buyer shall order
from Stewart Title & Trust of Tucson (the “Title Company”) a commitment for an
owner’s title insurance policy for the Property. The type of policy (standard, extended,
etc.) is Buyer’s choice, and is referred to in this Agreement as the “Owner’s Policy.”
b.Title Review. The Buyer shall have 30 days from the delivery of the preliminary
title commitment (the “Title Review Period”) in which to review and to provide written
objection to the Escrow Agent and the Seller (the “Buyer’s Notice”) to the condition of
title to the Property (the “Title Exceptions”). If the Buyer fails to notify the Seller and the
Escrow Agent in writing of the Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the Title Exceptions
within the Title Review Period, the Title Exceptions as shown in the preliminary title
commitment shall be deemed approved by the Buyer. Any Title Exception objected to
by the Buyer in the Buyer’s Notice shall be an “Unpermitted Exception.”
i.If the Buyer gives notice of disapproval to the Seller and the Escrow Agent,
during the Title Review Period, the Seller shall be required to cure the Unpermitted
Exceptions by removing or correcting any Unpermitted Exceptions or by causing the
Title Company to waive or commit to insure over the Unpermitted Exceptions at the
Seller’s cost. If the Seller, after using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to
cure any one or more of the Unpermitted Exceptions prior to the scheduled Closing
Date, the Buyer at its sole discretion may exercise any of the following options:
(A)postpone the Closing for an additional period of time to be determined by
the Parties to allow for the removal of the Unpermitted Exceptions;

(B)waive the removal of any such Unpermitted Exception as a condition to
Closing, in which event such Unpermitted Exception shall be deemed an
additional Permitted Exception under this Agreement; or
(C)terminate this Agreement.
ii.If the Title Company amends the Title Commitment to provide for exceptions
in addition to those approved by the Buyer, the Buyer shall have three days after the
Buyer’s receipt of any such amendment, together with good and legible copies of all
documents referenced in this Agreement, to give notice to Escrow Agent and the
Seller whether it shall accept the additional exceptions or elect to terminate this
Agreement unless the additional exceptions are cured to the Buyer’s reasonable
satisfaction by the Seller. The Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to
accommodate this procedure.
c.Prorations. Ad valorem taxes for the then-current period shall be prorated at the
Closing, effective as of the date of Closing. If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate
is fixed for the then-current period, the apportionment of the taxes shall be upon the
basis of the tax rate for the preceding period applied to the latest assessed valuation, but
any difference in actual and ad valorem taxes for the period of sale actually paid by the
Buyer shall be adjusted between the Parties upon receipt of written evidence of their
payment. Special assessments which are or will become a lien on the Property will be
assumed by the Buyer and treated as a Permitted Exception.
d. Title Policies. The Title Company shall issue to the Buyer at Closing the Owner’s
Policy (or the Title Company’s irrevocable commitment to issue such Owner’s Policy
within 30 days after Closing). The Owner’s Policy shall be issued by the Title Company
in the full amount of the Purchase Price, effective as of the Closing and shall insure the
Buyer that fee simple title to the Property is vested in the Buyer subject only to the
“Permitted Exceptions,” which term is defined to mean only such title matters as are
approved and accepted by the Buyer in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph
10.b above. Except for the cost to insure over Unpermitted Exceptions as provided in
subparagraph 10.b.i above, the Buyer shall pay the full cost of the Owner’s Policy and
any additional charges arising out of the title policy.
e.Inspection Period. The Buyer shall have sixty (60) calendar days from the Effective
Date to inspect or investigate to the Buyer’s sole and absolute satisfaction the Property
(the “Inspection Period”). During the Inspection Period, at the Buyer’s expense, the
Buyer may cause to be prepared or performed an appraisal and environmental reports
and studies and any other reports, surveys or studies which are deemed necessary by
the Buyer in order to perform its due diligence investigation and analysis of the Property.

Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Resolution No. 2022-094: Relating to Strategic Planning; approving and
authorizing implementation of Marana Strategic Plan Five (Terry
Rozema)
Discussion:
The Marana Town Council adopted the first Strategic Plan in 2008, and this version will
be the fifth iteration of the plan. In early 2022, the Town began the process to update
the strategic plan and set new priorities that will guide municipal operations over the
next few years.
The strategic planning process involved community and stakeholder input and several
working sessions with Department Leadership and Council. The Town Manager's
Office facilitated discussions with the Town Council on all aspects of the plan. On
August 9, 2022, a Town Council study session was held to obtain final comments and
recommendations from Council. Staff worked through these recommendations to
incorporate them into a comprehensive document that reflects Council's vision and
strategy for Marana. The following five focus areas are identified in the plan:
1. Cherished Heritage
2. Vibrant Community
3. Thriving Commerce
4. Healthy Lifestyles
5. Proactive Public Services
Marana Regular Town Council Meeting

If Council approves the proposed Strategic Plan Five document, Town staff will begin
the implementation process of the strategies outlined in the plan through Envisio, a
strategic planning and performance management software. Frequent reports will be
provided to Council and the public concerning strategic plan progress.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Strategic Plan Five.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2022-094; approving Marana Strategic Plan Five.

MAYOR
ED HONEA
On behalf of the Town Council, I am pleased to present the Town of Marana’s fifth
strategic plan.
Marana has come a long way since its beginnings as a ranching and agricultural
community of only 1,500 residents. Now, celebrating 45 years, Marana is the fastest
growing community in Southern Arizona with over 55,000 residents. Over the
decades, we have been deliberate in our efforts to make Marana the best place to
live and grow a business, and we have made great strides through our strategic
plans.
As we look ahead, Council’s vision for Marana is to be a trailblazing community
that raises the bar for the best quality of life. Through this commitment to our
community, this strategic plan is built on five focus areas – Cherished Heritage,
Vibrant Community, Thriving Commerce, Healthy Lifestyles, and Proactive Public
Services. The focus areas, with their corresponding goals, will guide the work in all
Town service areas for the next three years. Strategic Plan 5 is a living document
and a roadmap that will help us achieve Marana’s vision and improve the lives of our
citizens.
I want to convey my appreciation to our residents, local businesses, and community
partners for their input during the strategic planning process, Town staff for their
hard work, and Council for their leadership and commitment to Marana. As you read
this document, I hope you all agree that we have a bright future ahead.
Sincerely,
Mayor Ed Honea
