Ranch facilities. Per the RD-180 zoning designation, a Conditional Use Permit must be
obtained, and subsequent development plans submitted, before development on Lots 27 and
50 may take place. Subdivision plats will be required for development on Blocks 14, all
slated for residential uses.

Thc maximum amount of disturbance is 20% for the entire Saguaro Ranch Project, which is
approximately 1,025 acres (approximately 440 acres outside Town limits within

SUBJECT:
Jane Howell, Human Resources Director
Resolution No. 2003-86: Authorizin an actuarial valuation on behalf of the Ma or and Council
as the relimina ste for artici ation in the Elected Officials' Retirement Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Effective July 1, 2003, Town of Marana elected officials became eligible for participation in the
Arizona Elected Officials' Retirement Plan (EORP) as a result of the monthly salary now extended to
them.
Arizona Revised Statutes Section 38-Chapter 5, Article 3 sets forth steps that must be taken to include
our elected officials in the EORP:
1. Mayor and Council must adopt a resolution authorizing an actuarial valuation be made to
determine the cost of the T ....
own s partm~pat~on on behalf of the designated eligible elected
officials. A.R.S. Section 38-810, Subsection C prescribes how the employer cost will be
determined. This section also states that the Town is required to pay an amount equal to the
unfunded accrued liability as a condition of entering the Plan.
2. Staff must contract with the Plan's actuary to m.ake the preliminary actuarial survey, which
will determine the estimated cost of the Town's participation. The survey will be based on all
eligible dates of service, including the beginning date and ending date for each eligible period
as an elected official. The cost of this preliminary survey, to be paid by the Town, is $600.
Assuming Mayor and Council support the EORP based on results of the actuarial valuation, a
resolution authorizing participation in the EORP will be brought before Mayor and Council for
adoption. At the same time, the resolution will authorize a town official to enter into the Joinder
Agreement with the Arizona Elected Officials' Retirement Plan on behalf of the elected officials.
Once the EORP Fund Manager has received the Joinder Agreement and required payroll informath
the EORP office will complete the necessary paperwork, return a copy of the Fund Manager approved
Joinder Agreement and forward forms needed to participate in the Plan. The forms will be distributed
to elected officials to finalize participation.
Attached for review is a copy of the letter from EORP outlining required steps for participation in the
Plan, EORP statutes and a Summary of Benefits.
Staff recommends authorization of a preliminary actuarial valuation to be made of the estimated cost
of participation 0feligible elected officials in the Arizona Elected Officials' Retirement Plan, the cost
of $600 to be paid by the Town.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move to approve Resolution No. 2003-86
