INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: August 21, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: E. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Michael A. Reuwsaat, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Relating to Personnel Policy Manual; revised media policy
DISCUSSION
This item is being presented to Council for information. Section 3-3-3 of the Town Code
authorizes the Town Council or Town Manager to adopt rules, regulations and policies for the
implementation of generally accepted principles of good personnel administration with the
Town.
The Town Manager worked with a committee that included three former members of the media

improved and would be more clear to staff.

Administrative Policy/Directive
ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY# 2006-001
Media Relations Administrative Policy
Revision Date: August 21, 2007
Supersedes policy dated November 21, 2006
Policy
This policy addresses relations with the media, including but not limited to news anchors,
reporters, correspondents, producers and editors.
It is in the Town's best interest to maintain a cooperative relationship with the news media.
Positive news coverage assists the Town in development, special event publicity, fund-raising,
mission attainment and recruitment and helps create an overall positive image of the Town.
The policy is intended to assist Town personnel to prevent miscommunication with the news
media and to protect the health, safety and welfare of the Town constituents and personnel by
reducing the chances of inaccurate or misunderstood statements.
Procedure
It is the policy of the Town of Marana for all employees to respond to media requests with
accurate and timely information. Employees are encouraged, but not required, to speak with the
media about matters concerning their area of expertise and knowledge. If a Town employee does
not have current and timely information, or believes that another Town employee can better
respond to a media request, the employee is not required to speak to the media, but is obligated
to refer the media representative to the proper Town contact. In addition, employees who do not
wish to talk with the media may direct inquiries to the Town's Public Information Officer (PIO).
Town employees who provide information to the media are requested to advise the PIO promptly
so that he or she can provide any necessary corrections or additional information and alert Town
management about upcoming stories.
All media inquiries must be handled in a timely and professional manner. Reporters often are on
daily deadlines and cannot wait an extended period of time for answers. However, do not rush
your answers because of their deadlines. If you need time to think or to gather information, it is
appropriate to tell the reporter you will call back shortly.
When speaking with the media, employees should be aware that something stated as a personal
opinion may still result in that opinion being reported as an official statement from the Town.
All public records requests shall be forwarded to the Town Clerk's office for processing and
response.

MEETING DATE: August 21, 2007 AGENDAITEM: 1.1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-137: Relating to Development; approving and
authorizing a final plat for Willow Ridge Custom Lots.
DISCUSSION
ReQues
The applicant is requesting a re-subdivision of Blocks D and E of the Willow Ridge Block Plat
for final plat approval of a 35-lot single family subdivision, consisting of lots 1-35 and common
areas. The subdivision is approximately 30.6 acres and located at the southeast comer of Cortaro
Farms Road and Sandy Desert Trail approximately one mile east of Interstate 10.
Backivound
The Town Council approved a rezoning for the Willow Ridge project on April 20, 2004, by
Ordinance 2004.07. The Town received a successful referendum petition on this rezoning and it
was placed on the September 7, 2004 special election ballot. The Marana citizens voted to
uphold the rezoning. The final block plat was approved by Town Council on September 6, 2005
by Resolution 2005-115. The preliminary plat for Willow Ridge Custom Lots was unanimously
approved by Town Council on October 3, 2006 by Resolution 2006-157.
The Planning Commission approved a design exception to allow for a reduced paved area on the
internal private streets as well as a sidewalk on only one side of the roadway.
Zoniny- and Lot Size
Blocks D and E of the Willow Ridge Block Plat are zoned R-16, which requires all lots to be
16,000 square feet or larger. This plat proposes 35 single-family lots with the smallest lot of
18,520 square feet (lot 10), with an average lot size of 27,597 square feet.
Much of this area is covered with vegetation that has a high resource value. To protect and
preserve this vegetation a rezoning condition set grading limits at 10,000 square feet per lot and
are shown on the plat. The area outside of the grading limits will be protected from disturbance
by deed restrictions.
The overall Willow Ridge project (the entire block plat) is to have 25.41 acres of the site set
aside as natural undisturbed open space (NUOS) and 13.05 acres set aside as natural open space
(NOS). Willow Ridge Commons, Block A, contributed 7.79 acres of NUOS and 9.29 acres of
NOS. This plat, the custom lots, is contributing 15.69 acres of NUOS and 2.3 acres of NOS.
2.13 acres of NUOS and 0.56 acres of NOS shall be provided on the remaining blocks. Most of
082107 PRV-05160 Wilow Ridge Custom Lots FP
the NUOS on this plat (14.06 acres) will be located on individual lots and preserved by deed
restrictions.
Lots 26 though 30 will be limited to single story construction to comply with a rezoning
condition restricting 2-story homes within 300 feet of Cortaro Farms Road.
Transportation and Parkin
Access to the Willow Ridge Custom Lots will be provided off the newly created Sandy Desert
Trail. All internal streets will be private. Lots I through 32 will be served by a single gated
entrance near the southwest comer of the subdivision. There will be an emergency access
easement between lots 27 and 28 onto Cortaro Farms Road. Lots 33, 34 and 35 will have access
from a private street off Sandy Desert Trail.
Impact Fees
Per the adopted development agreement, this project is subject to an Open Space, Parks and Trail
impact fee as well as the South Transportation impact fee. The development agreement also
acknowledges a voluntary school improvement contribution fee of $1,200 per new residential
dwelling unit.
Parks and Recreation
Recreational area for Willow Ridge is provided in the previously platted Willow Ridge
Commons. The entire Willow Ridge project is required to provide 30,400 square feet of on-site
recreation area, and provides a total of 35,397 square feet. This custom lot subdivision consists
of only 35 lots and is not required to have a separate on-site park.
ATTACHMENTS
Summary of application, final plat reduction and location map.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds that the final plat is in compliance with rezoning Ordinance No. 2004.07, the Marana
Land Development Code, and the Marana General Plan. Staff recommends approval of this final
plat.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve Resolution No. 2007-137.

There is a growing need at the Marana Operations Center (MOC) for a Customer Service
Specialist for the three departments which include: Water, Maintenance & Operations, and Police.
This person would provide support to three departments by relieving them of many clerical duties
that consume considerable time, thus detracting from professional services performed by the
department staff. The customer service specialist would assist in maintaining office files, project
files, handle phone calls, greet customers, perform photocopying, and other tasks to assist staff
to meet the high demand for their services.

provide to maintain the integrity and continuity of the department? (if so, explain)
No higher degree of specialization required. However, current staffing can not provide adequate
continuity or integrity for much longer

Are the department services in jeopardy without this position and is there evidence of workload

J. COUNCIL ACTION
1. Ordinance No. 2007.18: Relating to Economic Development; establishing
procedures for permitting of special events; amending Marana Town
Code Title 10 (Health and Sanitation) by adopting Section 10-6, and
establishing an effective date (Cedric Hay)
Mr. Hay stated this ordinance has been put together to streamline the internal
processes within the town, but also to give the public advance notice,
guidelines to follow when special events are desired or take place within the
town. The ordinance that was presented has only been slightly changed with
some fon-natting changes. It will be relating to health and sanitation because
that's where this procedure will be located in the town code.
Steve Miklosi, General Manager of Breakers Water Park, addressed Council
and stated on behalf of his business he didn't find anything that is out of the
ordinary upon request. He stated on the 60 days advance notice for a major
event if you are dealing with an event where there are entertainers involved
many times the ability to book an entertainer is based on where they are at
traveling. That typically is not something that occurs sixty days out. He asked
if this could be looked at with some flexibility. He stated if entertainment
wasn't an element for the event then that wouldn't play such an important
part. He stated there are no two special events that are alike. He asked that
staff consider this in the realm of things.

Mr. Hay stated they did include a provision that the Town Manager does have
some leniency to waive as necessary. These are events that would have a
significant impact on the town resources. That is why we are asking for
additional time. At that point it would be at the discretion of the police
department if they would be able to adequately provide services necessary.
There is no reason why an event would not be allowed to take place. In the
past, there would be a flow chart, a special events application would be made
and then it would be passed to police, right of way and different departments
who would in turn would check these off one at a time. This ordinance will
establish a round table where all these groups will be able to meet at once and
be able to share ideas. Hopefully to expedite the process, brainstorm and come
up with ideas to make the events happen.
Resolution No. 2007-135: A resolution of the Town of Marana, Arizona,
declaring as public record that certain document entitled "Special Events
Ordinance" adopted by Ordinance No. 2007.18, filed with the Town
Clerk; and declaring an emergency (Cedric Hay)
Upon motion by Council Member Clanagan, seconded by Council Member
McGorray, Ordinance No. 2007.18 and Resolution No. 2007-135, declaring
an emergency, was approved 5-0.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2007.19: Relating to Development;
approving and authorizing a rezoning to create The Marana Spectrum
Specific Plan (Kevin Kish)
Mr. Kisli addressed Council and stated March 28, 2007, the Planning
Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the Specific Plan.
This item was presented to Council as an information item on July I 01h , as
well. The applicant proposes a change of zoning from the C, large lot zone to
the F zone which is a specific plan zone for the purpose of developing a
regional cornmercial center.
The rezoning request is a direct response to the future Twin Peaks
interchange. The new interchange provides viable east and west access for
residents in addition to creating a functional intersection capable of handling
this type of proposal at that comer. The specific plan proposes a mix of
commercial uses including retail, office, financial, medical, and entertainment
and provides the opportunity to add a residential component on the second or
third stories in conjunction with the ground floor commercial use. They are
recommending a minor general plan amendment to master planning area for
the site in conjunction with the specific plan.
The new Twin Peaks interchange is scheduled to begin construction in 2008.
As a condition of approval issuance of any certificate of occupancy will be
contingent upon the Twin Peaks interchange being open to serve the site. The
developer shall be responsible for roadway, drainage and utility costs of the
4
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: August 7, 2007
Twin Peaks interchange as described in the development agreement which is
pending at this time. Upon completion of the Twin Peaks interchange access
to the site will be provided off of Camino de Mariana and realignment of
Linda Vista Boulevard. The main point of access will be provided off of the
Camino de Mariana alignment and is proposed to be signalized. The site
analysis proposes open space in the forrn of large retention areas along the
eastern and southern portion of the property. These retention areas are being
proposed and will be landscaped.
The applicant has retained Westland Resources to provide additional
environmental consultant work on the proposed project. The majority of the
property consists of the upland areas that support widely scattered creosote
bush dominated habitat and other common Arizona upland species. The
applicant is proposing to provide the town with an environmental mitigation
fee. When the original project came in over a year ago, the determination was
made that the riparian areas that were identified were not critical or not
significant. Because it was not determined to be significant that the protection
of them was not warranted or not required by code.
Carolyn Campbell, Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, addressed
Council and thanked the town for working the next phase of a habitat
conversation plan. She stated on the map of Marana's General Plan there are
two significant riparian areas on this site and with Title 17 it states with those
riparian areas there are no exceptions in terms of leaving those riparian areas
alone. She stated they have a question about protecting natural resources
onsite. In the proposal there is a letter from Westland Resources that they will
want to do offs1te mitigation for the natural resources as it is being proposed
as a 100 percent impact onsite. They want to make sure that is adequate and in
the proposal it does not adequately reflect what they see as mitigating offsite
and it does not reflect the land values in the area that would be mitigated. She
referred to technical assistance from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which is
laid out in the proposal and believes that has not been done. She asked for
continued advice and technical assistance from Fish and Wildlife Service.
Mayor Honea asked if the issues are in the development agreement.
Ms. Campbell stated the issue of Title 17 and compliance with the land use
code is an issue in the rezoning, as well as seeing a site resource inventory.
She stated the support for the rezoning would be contingent on working out
the issues both in the rezoning and in the development agreement.
Council Member McGorray asked Mr. Cassidy if they could proceed with
rezoning without it affecting the Westland report and riparian areas.
Mr. Cassidy stated they can proceed with the rezoning without the
development agreement. In the draft development agreement it does not
actually require any particular amount. It says to the extent that an
5
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: August 7,2007
envirom-nental mitigation amount is paid that would be subject to
reimbursement, but it doesn't require that there be any particular amount. The
determination was made that there were not significant riparian areas on the
site and therefore under our code the staff review determination was that there
was not an obligation to set aside these so in the draft development agreement
they did not require that there be an environmental mitigation fee. If the
Council wanted to require that there would be two ways to. do that. One would
be to make it a condition of the specific plan approval or alternatively it could
be inserted into the development agreement, but to be certain that happens is
to wait for the development agreement to be redrafted and brought to Council
so it can be approved at that time.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated that the development agreement is a must for the
developer on this property. He stated we are requiring substantial public
improvements. He stated if the zoning passes that the project is not going to
go without the development agreement.
Mr. Cassidy referred to and read provision 17.0 1.01 and stated it uses the
language unique and significant ridges, peaks, riparian areas, wildlife
corridors.
Jim Tress, Westland Resources, addressed Council regarding the significance
of the riparian habitats on the site. One of the early reports on this property
was sited in the staff report and their conclusion was that the riparian habitat
on the site was not of significant or unique value in the context of Marana.
There are many habitats in Marana of much greater value. They have had the
opportunity since the report was written to go out and measure the values of
the habitat ori that site and to review the available mapping that was site and
the habitat on site comes out at a low and low moderate rate when compared
to other riparian habitats in and around Marana and Pima County. He stated it
is their opinion that the riparian habitat which are very sparse, one tree and
then a long distance which is some creosote and then another tree, are of low
value when you look at types of riparian habitat that are often sited for
protection.
Vice Mayor Kai asked how the value of the $455,000 for the acres loss was
generated and what factors were taken into account for that.
Mr. Tress stated after having a meeting with the Coalition and staff and
talking about various options they went back to the town's resource maps.
They looked at the general plan and the northern portion of this property was
identified as environmentally sensitive lands within the town. That totaled
approximately 17 acres. They then looked at some of the standard
conservation strategies that have been used in Marana, Pima County and other
communities and identified a thirty percent net surface disturbance ratio as a
means of generating the acreage of mitigation to be provided by the applicant.
If all 17 acres were to be impacted as planned how many acres of off site
6
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: August 7, 2007
mitigation would need to be provided and through that analysis they came up
with about 2.3 to I ratio or about 39 acres of land to be protected. Then they
looked at other development agreements that have been approved. The one
specifically looked at was the one developed for Willow Ridge and it
identified a roof top impact fee of $6,400 per unit to fund conversation
measures within the town. They estimated how many residents could be
established on the 17 acres and came up with their value.
Vice Mayor Kai asked if it was taken into account if the Coalition took the
money to buy mitigation land and it is more expensive now if they could get
the job done with those funds.
Mr. Tress stated it depends on how it is done, how it is accomplished and
what is being done with that money. He stated they had no specific project to
earmark. Various opportunities included cultural and historic preservation
within the town, restoration within the towii. They looked for a method that
was tied to mapping done by the town and something that was consistent with
previous development agreements. The actual use of the funds was going to
be left to the discretion of the town to meet its conservation and
environmental objectives.
Mr. Reuwsaat stated he will be going out and looking at parcels with one in
particular and will be looking at it with some possible recommendations to
contribute towards it. He stated his recommendation is to move forward with
the specific plan.
Council Member Clanagan stated he had suggested and the applicant is
indicated a willingness to build a full service police station in proximity to this
project. The community policing module can do an excellent job in providing
law enforcement serv 1 ces to the residents on the east side of I- 10, as well as
the custoiriers, retail owners who frequent this establishment and because the
proximity to I- 10 it has a propensity to provide an opportunity for individuals
who are engaged in criminal activity to try and target shoppers and shop
owners because they feel they have immediate access to the interstate and
therefore the ability to escape apprehension.
Mr. Cassidy stated Mr. Kish mentioned that there a couple of conditions that
refer to the development agreement. Number two states the ultimate
development proposed by this rezoning shall be consistent with the adopted
development agreement. He stated he would recommend that condition be
stricken. Paragraph five, condition five, says the developer shall dedicate or
cause to have dedicated the necessary rights of way for Camino de Manana
and Linda Vista Boulevard as agreed upon in the development agreement. He
stated he recommends striking the words as agreed upon in the development
agreement.

3. Resolution No. 2007-136: Relating to Development; approving and
authorizing a Town Addressing Manual to assist town employees in
providing addressing services to the citizens of Marana (Joe Lettrick)
Mr. Hay stated this was an item presented last month. We will be taking over
services done previously by Pima County. It was our information that costs
for continuing this agreement with Pima County would be rising significantly
and it was determined that not only could we liandle these services better in-
house through our GIS staff, but also provide a greater service to our
customers alleviating their need for a trip downtown to get addresses for a
new development, homes, etc.
Council Member McGorray asked if in this process they will accumulate a
data bank for every address that is in Marana even though there are different
zip codes.
Mr. Hay stated prior to July I" we received our information from the County
via the GIS system they use. He stated we have that ability.
Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member
Clanagan, Resolution No. 2007-136 was approved 5-0.
4. Resolution No. 2007-137: Relating to Facilities; establishing guidelines
and procedures for the naming of town-owned facilities (Josh Wright)
Mr. Wrlight addressed Council and stated this item establishes guidelines and
procedures for the narning of town owned facilities. This was previously
presented at a study session on June 12 th . The procedure and guidelines are the
same as presented at the June 12 th meeting with one exception. There was an
indication by Vice Mayor Kai that we should add a process for removing the
name or renaming a facility that needs to be done at some point so that has
been added to the language of this resolution.
Upon motion by Vice Mayor Kai, seconded by Council Member McGorray,
Resolution No. 2007-137 was approved 5-0.
5. Resolution No. 2007-138: Relating to Community Development:

students are very eager. The mock trial class has participated in various
competitions. They have done mock trials and one mock teen court trial.

people certified to be lawyers and judges. Supporting this program is the
