TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Joe Lettrick, Geographic Information Systems Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-204: Relating to Administration; approving
and authorizing the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) De-
partment to change its name to Applications and GIS Services.
DISCUSSION
Previously, the Town of Marana GIS Department had a narrow role in its service to the Town
and its citizens. As time passed and the needs of the Town have grown the GIS Department has
taken on more responsibilities and provided additional services to the Town.
To better identify those roles and the actual duties which have been assumed by the GIS Depart-
ment, changing the department's name to Applications and GIS Services reflects the expanding
role of the department. In addition to the existing services which will continue to be provided
throughout the Town, the Applications and GIS Services Department will provide support to
Public Works, Planning, Finance, the Police Department and the Water Department.
The proposed resolution will formalize the name change to reflect the department's additional
responsibilities of reviewing, defining, supporting, maintaining and developing all current and
future enterprise-wide business applications for the Town.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Mayor and Council approve the name change of the GIS department to Appli-
cations and GIS Services.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TOWN OF MARANA
INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2007 AGENDAITEM: 1.7
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Anthony Casella, Infannation Technology Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-210: Relating to Information Technology;
approving and authorizing a donation of previously used com-
puters and computer equipment to Miracles, Inc. of Arizona, a
non-profit corporation.
DISCUSSION
This item proposes to allow the Town to dispose of previously used and unneeded computers and
computer equipment to Miracles, Inc. of Arizona. The equipment has little value to the Town.
In fact, due to the environmental concerns associated with disposing of computers, the Town
could be forced to pay for the service of removal and disposal of the old equipment.
In the past, the Town has donated old computer equipment to World Care, a non-profit corpora-
tion that operates internationally to raise consciousness regarding education, health, environ-
mental, and community service issues. While World Care is a worthy organization, donation to
Miracles, Inc. of Arizona will allow the Town to benefit the local community.
In addition, the IT Department contacted Microsoft to inquire regarding transfer of the software
license for the operating systems of the computers. Microsoft indicated that because the Town
has already purchased the licenses in question, the Town may transfer the licenses to a third
party at its discretion.
At this time, the Town has two computers to donate.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2007-2 10, approving the donation of the unneeded
computers and associated equipment and software to Miracles, Inc. of Arizona.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None

MARANA RESOLUTION NO. 2007-210
RELATING TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY; APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING A

WHEREAS the Town of Marana possesses previously used computers and computer
equipment that it no longer needs; and
WHEREAS the computers and equipment have little or no value to the Town and in some

and
WHEREAS Miracles, Inc. of Arizona, a non-profit corporation that operates in the Town

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TowN OF MARANA 11 R NA 7
INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: December 4,2007 AGENDAITEM: 1.9
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara Johnson, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-212: Relating to Development; opposition to
development of the Rosemont Mine in the Santa Rita Mountains.
DISCUSSION
The typical legacy left behind from prior and existing mines places undue costs and adverse
impacts on the tax payers of Pima County with few local tax benefits, and is therefore
unacceptable. Recent studies show that while the economic impact of the mining industry
continues to decline in Pima County, the economic impact of recreation has climbed
substantially and the building and operation of a large open pit mine in the Santa Rita Mountains
will impact recreation opportunities and jobs.
Augusta Resource Corporation submitted a draft plan of operations to the U.S. Forest Service on
July 31, 2006 to develop the Rosemont Mine on private and Forest Service managed public land
within the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson. Augusta's July 31, 2006 plan of operations was
not accepted by the U.S. Forest Service due to insufficient information.
The U.S. Forest Service via the National Environmental Policy Act will be required to take into
account consistency with local land use plans, which in this case is the Pima County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan including the Conservation Lands System. Pima County is
preparing an application for a Section 10 permit pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act
via the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The land proposed for mining contains important
ecosystems desired for protection.
A recent study of 70 Environmental Impact Statements for modem-era hard rock mines found
that water quality impacts from hard rock mines are consistently underestimated and therefore
the mitigation is consistently inadequate. Water quality impacts to Davidson Canyon and
Cienega Creek would be detrimental to rare riparian habitat along the creeks, the endangered
species within the creeks, and the high quality water supply to the Tucson Basin. Augusta has not
yet shown how the Rosemont Mine will conform to the Clean Water Act, Stormwater and
Section 404 permit requirements for the deposition of dredge and fill materials in waters of the
United States.
Augusta has not yet proved that it has valid Forest Service mining claims. The information
Augusta has provided to the public to date leaves many questions unanswered and is insufficient
to determine if and how Augusta would be able to meet the five performance criteria outlined by
the County to address the negative impacts associated with the proposed Rosemont Mine.

The Pima County Board of Supervisors has already expressed its opposition to the proposed
mine through its passage of Resolution 2007-15.

Mayor Honea recognized that Cub Scout Pack 219 and Boy Scout Troop 259 earned

E. PRESENTATIONS
1. Presentation on the status of the Twin Peaks Interchange (KeithBrann)
Keith Brann noted that Council had previously asked to see the aesthetics again before they
are finalized. Mr. Brann stated that at this point they are at Stage 4 plans. They have been
reviewed and comments were returned to the consultant. Mr. BranD stated that they are next
expecting design plans. The PS&E set; plans, specifications and estimate; which is the bid
set of plans, are expected in late December or early January. Mr. Brann noted that at this
time staff is working through different aspects of the project including right of way
acquisition and environmental clearances, getting the final railroad construction
maintenance agreement, etc. The Twin Peaks Road within Continental Ranch which is
currently a dead end will be taken across the Santa Cruz River, across I- 10 with a new full
interchange, A-type diamond. It will then go across the railroad, no longer having an at-
grade cross in Mailana. The road will then continue on and become the sister project,
Camino de Maftana, which goes all the way up to a relocated alignment tying directly to
Dove Mountain Blvd. Also as part of this project, there will be a realignment of Linda Vista
to a four way intersection when the future Cascada Development comes in. A-two way
access road will be constructed behind existing businesses to provide two-way traffic since
the frontage road will be converted to one-way as part of this project. Mr. Brann stated that
staff is well on its way with design plans and on schedule. The design had to be at a certain
point before staff could begin certain aspects including the environmental clearance,
submittal of the 404 pen-nit. Mr. Brann noted that they are now at the point where they can
negotiate the CMN Agreement with the railroad. He also stated that Stage 4 comments have
been returned to the consultant and that they are still pursuing ftinding for the project. With
the Stage 4 plan came a Stage 4 cost estimate of $96 million, which includes design,
construction management and night-of-way acquisition. We are expecting a bid closer in the
range of $70 to $73 million.
Myrtene Francis then addressed Council. She stated that Tierra Right of Way Services is
under contract with the Town ' of Marana to acquire all of the property rights necessary for
the project, as well as provide relocation assistance for the properties of any impacted
parties. There are 31 property owners with 45 parties entitled to relocation benefits. The
Town will acquire 62.4 acres of right-of way. 7.1 acres of that is for the right-of-way for
ADOT. 14.2 acres of permanent easement that includes self easements, drainage easements,
and utility easements will also be acquired. At this time, 14 offers to purchase have been
presented to the owners in the amount of $5 million, $861 and $400 dollars. In accordance
with the planning development, 10 property owners will be dedicating their property rights
through their developments; these include: Marana Spectrum, Cascada, and the Red Point
developments in that area. United Metro and Rinker Materials have donated the property
rights needed through their property for the project. Staff is preparing to file condenination

actions with the attorney general's office on several parcels in mid November and that will
include full property takes for 6 parcels and I parcel acquisition.
Keith Brann stated that the project is not fully funded at this time. There are many options
for funding sources for this project. The RTA is by far the largest cash injection into this
project. Additional funding sources include state HURF funds, federal STP dollars, and an
agreement through ADOT for $14 million. Through the South Transportation Benefit Fee
there is also a dedication of $14 million. The other $1.4 million is a water line that the
Town will look to possibly use some of its water impact fees or other sources. This a very
important feature that staff feels is part of this project. Additionally, there is also $4.5
million of private money that is being negotiated with the Marana Spectrum development.
Mr. Brann added that of the $5.9 million of the STP funds, 1.9 million of that was recently
requested and at this point approved from the PAG TIP for the 20-14 TIPS. It now works
through the process of approval through the sub committees all the way up to the Regional
Council. Mr. Brann stated that at this point they have assembled on paper about $93 million
of the projected $96 million estimate for the project. He then re-emphasized that additional
funding sources are still being sought.
Laura Mulkarek stated that the aesthetic treatments will start to the west towards
Continental Ranch. As one goes east, there will be aesthetic treatments into the median. On
I- 10 we there will be form liner treatments on the piers. The bridge structure itself will have
a decorative meadow. On the pedestrian overpass, similar to east Miracle Mile, and on the
MSE wall, holding up the westbound frontage road, there will be form liner work on the
MSE wall facing east and also facing the interstate. As one enters the Marana area or the
Tucson metropolitan area there will be the two suns serving as kind of a gateway feature.
The MSE wall going northbound will have cattails. The cloud river wraps underneath the
bridge and continues on the other side. The median enhancements are right around at the
Santa Cruz River and are called the Barrier sidewalk. Form liner work with cottonwood
leaves and sidewalk enhancements will go along over the Santa Cruz River bridge. The
middle and median will be a kind of gateway median artwork piece. It reflects like a
cylinder that has been broken apart and will show the different sediment layers that are
found along the Santa Cruz River basin.
Council Member Ziegler asked for a completion date and Mr. Brann responded that a bid
date of 2008 is still being sought and that a completion date will most likely be late 2009,
early 2010.
Vice Mayor Kai asked if it would be possible to incorporate security cameras in this project
to keep taggers away. Mr. Brann responded that the option had not been looked into. He
did state that zoom cameras will be on Town rights-of-way signals. One of the reasons why
the aesthetic treatment was done on the entire on the MSE wall system was through the
direction of the Parks Director; they would much rather have the paint code and repaint
over tagging than try to have an unspoiled concrete surface, which is impossible to blend in
once it's been tagged. He stated that he is unsure if they can prevent tagging but that the
project is in design with graffiti design materials and the ability to cover it up.

Council Member McGorray commented that the aesthetics are wonderful and she is very

2. Presentation of the Town's published Annual Budget and Financial Plan for fiscal year
2008 (Erik Montague)
Erik Montague mentioned that this budget is different than budgets the Council may have
seen before. It incorporates a significant increase or level of information with respect to the
Town's goals, vision and allocation of resources that was originally incorporated in the
budget in June. This is a comprehensive document, reflecting Mayor and Council's
approved allocation of resources back in June. As a financial plan, it is a snapshot of what
the Town Council approved. The Government Finance Officers Association has this as an
established distinguished budget presentation award. That particular award program was
created for the purpose of establishing or guiding the development of well planned
budgetary documents to meet the needs of the community as well as interested persons
wanting to know more about Town business. In order to be considered for the award, the
budgetary document has to meet four major criteria. wide-ranging policy document,
financial plan, operations guide, and a communications device. This budgetary document
reflects the Town's goals and visions and allocations of those dollars. Staff believes that
such a document has been compiled and will be submitting for consideration of the award.
Mr. Montague mentioned that this externally published document is available on the Town's
website. Mr. Montague thank the Manager's office, the department directors, and Corrie Gil
whose intense vision and passion and efforts were able to put together the 195-page
document. Mr. Montague stated that the document exemplifies the Council's vision and
allocation of those resources to provide for the needs to the community, those services that
the community requires, and it really exemplifies the finance department's commitment in
ensuring that that 111 formation is available to those that want to have it.
Mike Reuwsaat thanked Erik and Corrie and staff for their tremendous effort. He stated
that the document is readable to ?i lay person and that if someone gets onto the Town's
website, they are easily able to obtain the financial information because of the format it has
been put in. It is a real service to our citizens in terms of reaching out being more visible,
transparent and accountable. He noted that Corrie has had a real passion to do this and he
thanked Erik for his leadership and passion that he has brought to Marana since he has been
here. In addition to this, Mr. Reuwsaat stated that the finance department has instituted a
full purchase order and encumbrance system within the Town, emphasizing that the finance
department is taking the Town to the levels that it needs to be at as an organization as
growth continues.
3. Presentation update on the financial status for fiscal year 2008 (Erik Montague)
Erik Montague addressed Council stating that he would like this to be the first of a series
of events to come before Council to provide information with respect to how the Town is
doing. He discussed the status for the first quarter, talking about the larger Arizona
economy as basically a subdivision of the state. Mr. Montague stated that they had the
opportunity to participate in a budget forum that was hosted by the City of Glendale on
4
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: NOVEMBER 6,2007
October 26, 2007. They received a presentation from the representatives of the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee, which is an oversight group that provides information to the
state on economic conditions, revenue forecast, and so forth.
Mr. Montague stated that that the sole focus of the greater metropolitan region is making
recommendations or partial recommendations to the Legislature regarding natures of
budget, revenue, expenditure forecasting and future financial needs and impacts. They are a
non-partisan group with eight individuals from the House and Senate. Mr. Montague and
his staff were given the opportunity to look at some of the models for last fiscal year.
Significant portions of the Town's resources come from shared revenues so Mr. Montague
noted that those are closely tied to those revenue projections that the state receives. They
are at $148.1 million below forecast for the first few months. Currently they are in the
process of going through various projections. Numbers between $525 and $675 million
dollar shortfalls for the state have been noted. He stated that this is attributable to many
factors; one being the housing market.
Mr. Montague stated that the JLBC participated in a survey that included the University of
Arizona as part of their business management and forecasting modeling areas. The survey
was a method to provide an estimate of projection as far as what is to be anticipated in the
future. The data presented by JLBC gives a historical perspective of revenue growth from
1999 through 2007 and projected growth from fiscal years 2008 to 2011.
Mr. Montague discussed the data and visual presentation with the Council. He stated that
the forecast survey shows a continued slow downward trend with respect to growth and that
the anticipated recovery will not occur until fiscal year 2009 or 2010 and return to some
level of normalcy in 2011. Mr. Montague then mentioned that this model provides the best
estimate as to what the economy is going to do over the next few years.
Mr. Montague discussed the largest revenue source of the Town's general fund - sales tax
(56%). Sales tax revenues for the first three months of this fiscal year are tracking at
budget. He mentioned that one of the areas of concern with sales tax revenue has to do with
the first quarter. The first quarter is $866,000 dollars less in collections for this quarter this
year over the prior fiscal year first quarter. Some of this is associated with the half cent
sales tax rollback and some of it is due to the downturn of the economy, especially from the
construction sales tax side. Mr. Montague stated that detailed reports from the state have
not yet been received, but once received he will distribute to Mayor and Council.
Mr. Montague discussed the second largest revenue source of the Town - state-shared
revenues. He compared the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008. He then briefly
discussed the third largest revenue source of the Town - licenses, permits, and fees. He
noted that they have collected $1 million in the first quarter, only 20% of what was
budgeted for the fiscal year.
Mr. Montague said that one of the activity markers has to do with single family residences.
There are roughly 125 for the first quarter of this fiscal year compared to 218 for the first
quarter of last fiscal year. He emphasized that the slow market will be continuous through
5
MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARANA MUNICIPAL COMPLEX
DATE: NOVEMBER 6,2007
2009-2010. He stated that the general fund has collected approximately 27% and that it is a
positive indicator for the first quarter of the fiscal year. He stated that the revenues of the
general fund are really on track for the first quarter of the fiscal year. The budget will
continue to be closely monitored to ensure that they are proactive in trying to mitigate any
issues should they occur. On the capital side of the budget they will soon be in the process
of looking at existing projects and those that are funded to ensure that they are allocated to
the available resources in the current year to those projects that are viable and will actually
occur. He concluded with the notion of a slow revenue growth that will continue through
the next few years.
Town Manager Mike Reuwsaat stated that even though the single family housing is down,
the commercial development is helping. He also emphasized that the Council put $3 million
aside years ago for transportation infrastructure instead of the general fund and would like
to maintain that practice as long as possible to fund the infrastructure for the growth. He
also stated that the budget will be monitored closely and make internal changes and
modifications to continue to stay healthy.

Development Impact Fee (Keith Brann)
Keith Brann addressed the Council regarding the northeast Transportation Development
Impact Fee. He discussed the need for the development impact fee and its associated cost.
The report was published on July 24, 2007 and posted on the website. To date, there have
been no responses. A presentation was given on September 28, 2007 to SABHA's technical
committee. Their request was to see a stepped increase fee and a six-month adoption
period. Staff does not agree with this, as the minimum requirement is a 75 day
implementation at full price. Mr. Brann described the location of the Northeast
Transportation Fee area, bordered by the CAP canal, the extension of Lambert Lane
alignments, and by the northern town limits. The existing land uses are sparse aside from
the Dove Mountain Specific Plan. The proposed uses take into account development along
the Tangerine Corridor and the northern part of the Cascada Development. The fee is meant
to support Tangeriiie Road, Camino de Manana, the extension of Lambert Lane to 1-10
where it would connect to the Avra Valley interchange the Tangerine Avra Valley
connector, and the Tangerine Interchange and an upgrade of the Avra Valley Interchange.
The proposed impact fee was $6872 per equivalent dwelling unit. Like the other roadway
impau fees, this fee would also have reductions in its cost based upon multifamily uses or
age restricted uses with generate themselves less trips on the roadway.
Mr. Brann reminded Council that in July the impact fee process was released. Tonight's
public hearing is required by state mandated law, and as a result, this item has been
scheduled to be bf?)ught back on December 18 for adoption if the Council so chooses.

thanked Keith Brann for making the presentation and discussed a step implementation plan.

of 75 days is adequate.
Mike Reuwsaat suggested that a fiscal analysis be done and Council presented with the
options so that the comparison can be clearly reflected at the December 18th meeting.

fee. Mr. Brann stated that the commercial area would not be paying through this. He stated
that commercial developments contribute more in up front costs instead of a residential or
impact fee.
Upon motion by Council Member Roxanne Ziegler, seconded by Council Member
Russell Clanagan, the two options for the ordinance will be heard at the December 18,
2007 meeting.
5. PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2007.29: Relating to Development; approving
and authorizing a modification to the rezoning conditions of Ordinance No. 2002.16
(Kevin Kish)
Kevin Kish addressed the Council regarding the rezoning conditions of Ordinance No.
2002.16. This ordinance rezoned 18.64 acres from the C large lot zone to the R144. Within
that ordinance there was a restriction placed on it for a 20% disturbance as one of the
conditions. The applicant purchased the property and is moving forward on a subdivision to
create a 5-lot development there on the 3.3 acre minimum lot size area of the R144. During
this design it has been requested to increase the disturbance area from 20% to 30%. Staff
was concerned so the applicant hired Westland Resources to conduct an environmental
study and found that the 30% disturbance is acceptable with some restrictions and
conservation measures. The applicant has agreed to those stipulations.
Upon motion by Council Member Roxanne Ziegler, seconded by Council Member
Russell Clanagan, Ordinance No. 2007.29 was unanimously approved.
6. Resolution No. 2007-193: Relating to Development; requesting Federal Emergency

study of affected areas of the Town; identifying potential future funding to reimburse
study costs; authorizing appropriate Town staff action; and declaring an emergency
(Keith Brann)
Keith Brann addressed the Council regarding the FEMA floodplain maps. He stated that if
FEMA gives the Town the time it requested, the Town will do the floodplain study.

be broader in scope than previously anticipated.. He stated that the cost allocated in this
year's budget will cover the initial study only.
Frank Cassidy stated that the resolution requests FEMA to withdraw its draft maps for no
less than two years so that the Town has the time to do the necessary studies. This also

use the emergency procurement process set forth in the Town Code to hire the experts
necessary to complete the studies. He also stated that the Town is still looking for other
funding sources. The resolution also anticipates that in the future there would likely need to
be a benefit area for people who benefit from this study. The Town would pick up the tab
for the existing residents - those who are existing as of the date of the maps being released.

agencies and to the private sector to help fund this study.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-213: Relating to Community Development:
approving and authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with
Pima County for the management and implementation of the
2007-2008 Community Development Block Grant Program.
DISCUSSION
For FY 2007-2008 the Town of Marana has been awarded $210,000 for its participation in Pima
County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. These funds will be
distributed from the County upon approval of the County's funding from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development. This is a $40,000 increase over the 2006-2007 award. This
amount represents increases for both property acquisition and administrative support, with a
slight $5,000 decrease for work on the Honea Heights Park.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends authorization for the Mayor to fully execute the intergovernmental agreement
(IGA) with Pima County for 2007-2008 CDBG funding. This year funding has been allotted for:
• Affordable Housing Land Acquisition - $70,000
• Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation - $40,000
• Honea Heights Neighborhood Park - $70,000
• Administration - $30,000
The Affordable Housing Land Acquisition program utilizes CDBG funding for the purchase and
improvement of land for future affordable housing projects. The funding helps the Town of
Marana leverage land costs for affordable housing projects.
Owner-Occppied Housing Rehabilitation is offered to low-income Marana residents living in
owner-occupied housing. These services include work to repair or replace deteriorated roof
systems; repair or replacement of major heating and cooling systems; connection, repair or
replacement of septic systems; minor miscellaneous services for electrical and plumbing
upgrades, insulation, ceiling, wall, window and door repairs; emergency home repairs assistance
to alleviate hazardous conditions that threaten the life and/or health safety of the occupants; and
weatherization to help cut down on utility bills by making repairs to the home that will lower
heating costs.
Honea Heights Neighborhood Park funding will allow Parks and Recreation to purchase and
install some additional playground equipment as amenities in the developed parks programmed
as part of the Honea Heights III redevelopment project.
Additional funding of $30,000 has been approved to cover administrative costs associated with
the implementation of the other projects.
The IGA will cover equipment and services for these programs retroactively from July 1, 2007
through June 30, 2008. Quarterly reports will be provided to Pima County as a condition of the
IGA.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-215: Relating to Development; approving and
authorizing a final plat for Saguaro Ranch Phase III-A.
DISCUSSION
History and Request
This item was continued from the Town Council meeting of September 18, 2007 and October 2,
2007 to allow the applicant and opportunity to address trail concerns raised by Pima County.
The Town Council approved the preliminary plat for this project on November 21, 2006.
Rick Engineering, on behalf of Saguaro Ranch Development Corporation requests final plat
approval of a 34-lot custom home subdivision on approximately 178 acres within the Saguaro
Ranch gated home community. The Saguaro Ranch Phase III-A plat is a partial resubdivision of
Lots 43-45, Block 3 and a portion of Common Area "A" of the original Saguaro Ranch Final Plat
approved by the Town Council September 2, 2003, and recorded at Book 57 Page 57.
Location
The southern end of the site is located approximately one and one-half miles north of Moore
Road and directly east of Old Ranch House Road, within a portion of Sections 17 & 20,
Township I I South, Range 13 East.
Zoning and Lot Size
The Saguaro Ranch Phase III-A subdivision will consist of Lots 43-45, 66-96 and Common
Areas "A" and "B". The zoning for the subdivision is RD-180 (Single Family Residential
180,000 square feet minimum lot size). The minimum lot size within this project is Lot 93 at
180,683 square feet with the average lot size of 202,525 square feet. The maximum allowable
building height is 30 feet; however, the Saguaro Ranch CC&R's further restrict the maximum
building height to 18 feet for residential buildings.
Transportation Plan
Access to this portion of Saguaro Ranch is located within the main gated community along Old
Ranch House Road beyond the tunnel and through previously approved Saguaro Ranch plats.
Access to all lots will be off of Common Area "A", which comprises the private street network.

FIrail Access to Tortolita Mountain Park
The 200' ingress/egress utility easement currently shown on the plat is the existing recorded
easement. It enters the subdivision at Common Area "B-2" and generally follows Old Saguaro
Ranch Road north out of the subdivision. Approval of the final plat does not alter the existing
easement. Saguaro Ranch Development will be working with Pima County to relocate the
easement in the future.
Disturbance
The maximum allowable disturbance for the entire Saguaro Ranch project is 20%. The areas of
disturbance for each buildable lot will be defined at the time a grading permit is issued; this area
will not exceed 27,000 square feet per lot as stated in general note #16. Lot 79 is allowed a
maximum disturbance of 33,000 square feet due to an agreement between Saguaro Ranch and
the current owner when they were brought into the project. A proposed undisturbed area
covenant must be submitted with each building permit application, which stipulates the future
preservation of the undisturbed acreage. The final document will be recorded prior to occupancy
of the house. Tracking of total site disturbance will be performed by the Town using the metes
and bounds surveys submitted with building permit applications in combination with periodic
surveillance of the site using aerial photography and geographic information systems.
Benefit Fee Area
All home sites within the Saguaro Ranch Development are required to pay a park impact fee of
$1,000 and a school impact fee of $1,200 per lot at the time of building pen-nit issuance per the
pre-annexation agreement adopted by Town Council on June 17, 2003, Resolution 2003-65.
Summar
Staff has reviewed the request against the requirements of the Marana Land Development Code,
the General Plan and the Pre-Annexation Agreement. The final plat is in conformance with all
required development regulations and design guidelines.
ATTACHMENTS
Town Council will be provided a summary application, location map and final plat reduction.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed the application for compliance with the Pre-annexation Development
Agreement adopted by Resolution 2003-65 on June 17, 2003, as amended by Resolutions 2004-
42 and 2004-106, the rezoning conditions of Ordinance 2003.20, the Marana Land Development
Code and the Marana General Plan. This Final Plat is in substantial conformance with all

INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2007 AGENDAITEM: J. 5
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-217: Relating to Liquor Licenses;
recommendation of disapproval to the State Liquor Board for a
new license for a limited liability company for a No. 04
(Wholesale) liquor license submitted by Edgar Distel on behalf of
Croesus Limited, LLC, located at 6890 N. Camino Martin, Suite
130.
DISCUSSION
Edgar Distel, on behalf of Croesus Limited, LLC, is applying for new license for a limited
liability company for a No. 04 (Wholesale) liquor license for premises located at 6890 N.
Camino Martin, Suite 130.
The State Department of Liquor Licenses & Control has completed a background investigation
and has forwarded two copies of an application for a spirituous liquor license in accordance with
the State of Arizona Guide to Arizona Liquor Laws. One copy of the application has been posted
on the front of the proposed licensed premises for 20 days prior to this meeting.
The Council, as the appropriate governing board, must hold a meeting and either approve,
disapprove or offer a "no-recommendation" decision on the application. This action must take
place within 60 days of the filing of the application.
If the application is approved at the appropriate government level, and no written protests have
been received by the Town, and if there is no objection by the Director, the application will be
approved. This process normally takes 90 days after the filing of the application.
If the governing body disapproves the application or offers a "no-recommendation" decision, or
if protests have been filed, the application must be set for a hearing before the State Liquor
Board. The hearing may be conducted by the board or by a designated hearing officer. The
purpose of a hearing is to consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to the
granting of a license.
The applicant for a new license bears the burden of demonstrating his or her "capability,
qualifications and reliability" and that the granting of a license is in "the best interest of the
community" except that, in a person-to-person transfer, an applicant need only prove his or her
96 capability, qualifications and reliability". An applicant in a location-to-location transfer need
only prove that the granting of the license is in the "best interest of the community".
Croesus Limited, LLC
The decision by the board to grant or deny an application will normally take place within 105
days after the application has been filed, unless the director deems it necessary to extend the time
period. A.R.S. 4-201, 4-201.01, 4-203; Rule R-4-15-102.
The Marana Police Department's routine investigation recommends "disapproval" for this
application. The reasons for their recommendation are listed in the attached memo, dated
November 21, 2007. Mr. Distel received a copy of this memo, together with a letter signed by
the Town Clerk on the same date, also attached.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends "disapproval" of this application to the state liquor board for this liquor
license.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2007-217, disapproving the liquor license application of Edgar
Distel on behalf of Croesus Limited, LLC.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor & Council via Town Clerk's Office
FROM: Lt. Joe Carrasco ?1-?
SUBJECT: Liquor License Application of Edgar Distel/Croesus Limited LLC
DATE: November 2l't, 2007
The Marana Police Department was asked to perform a background check regarding the above-
referenced liquor license application, submitted on October 18, 2007. During this investigation,
the following concerns were noted:
I . Edgar Distel is listed as the applicant and as the sole member, director, officer and
stockholder of Croesus Limited LLC. On the application, question number 15 states "Have you
EVER been detained, cited, arrested, indicted or summoned into court for violation of ANY
law or ordinance (regardless of the disposition even if dismissed or expunged)?" (Emphasis in
original). Mr. Distel indicated "No" as his answer to this question. However, a records check of
local law enforcement databases revealed that Mr. Distel was arrested on March 19, 2001 in Oro
Valley for a warrant on a charge of issuing a bad check, in violation of A.R.S. § 13-1807. Mr.
D , istel was re-contacted by the Marana Police Department regarding this discrepancy. At that
time, Mr. Distel stated that his son had stolen his check and committed the offense.
2. On the application, question number 12 requests business and employment information of
the applicant for the last five years. Mr. Distel reported that he was retired from a law practice
and listed his residence address as Ahe address. for the law practice. Investigation 'revealed that
Mr. Distel was disbarred by the Supreme Court of Arizona on December 4, 2002 for conduct in
violation of his duties and obligations as a lawyer. In addition, Mr. Distel was disbarred in the
State of Colorado, where he had also been licensed to practice law, by order dated July 24, 2003.
Based on this information, the Marana Police Department recommends disapproval of this
license.

FROM: Paul R Popelka, RLA/AICP, Planner III
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Resolution No. 2007-219: Relating to
Development; approving and authorizing the 2007 Marana
General Plan.
DISCUSSION
Plannine Commission Hearin
A public hearing for this case was held at the November 14, 2007, Planning Commission
meeting. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 (Commissioner Schisler was excused) to
recommend approval to the Town Council.
Backp,round
This is a request for approval of a General Plan Amendment updating the 2003 Marana General
Plan. The 2003 plan has been updated in conformance with Arizona's Growing Smarter and
Growing Smarter Plus Legislation, which requires municipalities of Marana's size to adopt a
General Plan that provides an implementation and phasing strategy for the vision and goals of
the community with specific plan element and public participation requirements. The legislation
requires an update with public ratification every ten years, due in 2013 for Marana. This 2007
General Plan is a five year update that does not require public ratification for approval.
One requirement of the legislation is the formal adoption of a Public Participation Plan that
guides public input efforts. Developed by staff early this year, the Public Participation Plan was
adopted by Mayor and Council in March 2007 and is included in the 2007 Marana General Plan
as an appendix item.
In early September, Staff distributed a draft document to adjacent jurisdictions (Pinal County,
Pima County, City of Tucson and the Town of Oro Valley) and, several reviewing state,
regional, and local agencies for formal comment. Those agencies were given opportunity to
comment within 60 days for formal review and comment. Comments from several Agencies
have been incorporated into the General Plan.
Public outreach over the past several months has included focus group meetings with groups
from mining, agriculture and ranching, development, Southern Arizona Homebuilders
Association, utility companies, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Metropolitan Pima Alliance.
Several meetings have also been held with the Habitat Conservation Plan Stakeholders Working
Group, the Economic and Business Development Commission, the Affordable Housing
Commission, and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Information has been sent to all
HOA's for publication in their newsletters, and open houses for the general public were held in
120407 Marana General Plan 2007 TC
September and October. The General Plan website has been maintained with information and a
comment box for direct feedback to Town staff.
Public Notification
A public notice for the hearing was published in the newspaper as well as posted at various
locations around the Town.
MARANA GENERAL PLAN 2007
The General Plan includes an Introduction, ten Plan Elements, Implementation and Appendices.
Each of these sections has been updated from the 2003 General Plan, and although much of that
plan remains valid, there have been many changes in the 2007 General Plan. A brief summary of
each section follows.
Introduction
Overview of the General Plan and review of the Town Vision - Orderly Growth, Economic
Opportunity, and Community Values - originally formed in the 1997 General Plan.
Land Use
Definition of the expanded Planning Area, updates to population and existing land use, and
projections for future land use within the Planning Area. Goals emphasize sustainability,
preservation of significant natural areas, and diversity and quality in development and
neighborhoods.
Circulation
Update of changes in planning the future circulation network based on land development activity
and newly proposed interchanges along 1-10. Goals emphasize a logical system to meet future
mobility needs for moving people and goods, including options for roads, mass transit, bicycle
and pedestrian improvements.
Growth Areas
Definition of those areas best suited for growth so that land development, circulation,
infrastructure and preservation of natural resources all work together to create sustainable
patterns of development.
Public Facilities and Services
Summary of facilities and services from the Town, like roads, water, and police protection, as
well as from quasi-public agencies like schools and fire districts. Goals in this element call for
clear planning for future needs, partnerships with other providers, expanding our water and
wastewater systems, and public safety.
Cost of Development
Emphasis on the costs of providing public facilities and services and the funding sources for
those costs, including developer provided improvements, impact fees, improvement districts,
grants, and other tools. Goals address methods and programs that meet those needs in the most
efficient and fiscally responsible ways.
120407 Marana General Plan 2007 TC
Environment
Emphasis on the natural resources - land, air, and water - and cultural resources of the
community. Air quality, water quality, protection of cultural resources, and preservation of
environmental quality are balanced with growth and development. The goals are about
protecting, conserving, and making the best sustainable use of available resources.
Recreation and Open Space
Summary of recreation facilities and programs, trails, and preservation of open space. The goals
again address protection of natural open spaces as well as provision of an extensive system of
parks, trails, and recreation programs to serve the community.
Water Resources
Summary of programs for potable and non-potable water to meet population growth and
development. Important aspects of water resources include water sources, reuse and recharge for
long range, sustainable programs for water use. Goals address sustainable use of water,
conservation, water quality, reuse, and recycling.
Economic Development
Emphasis on all aspects of economic development, targeting specific needs in housing and
employment diversity, business and industrial job centers, tourism, retail, infrastructure, health
care and education. The goals outline strategies for supporting existing and new business
development and tourism.
Housing
Definition of the value and availability of diversified housing choices and neighborhoods for all
residents of the community. Goals emphasize quality, diversity, and affordability of new and
existing housing.
Implementation
Review of basic functions of the General Plan and a comprehensive outlay of the steps required
to implement each recommendation of the plan. The Action Plan defines on-going, short-term,
mid-term, and long-term strategies for programs like circulation and annexation. Each goal,
policy, and action is assigned a responsible party and time frame for implementation.
Appendix
Detailed information on the Public Participation Plan, a section with data and development plans
for all specific plans in the community, updated Land Use Decision Keys and Glossary.
CONCLUSION
Staff would like to extend thanks to all Town departments, the Planning Commission, Town

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2007.30: Relating to Annexation; annexing into the
corporate limits of the Town of Marana that territory known as
Trico-Marana Revised Annexation comprised of approximately
526 acres of land within Pima County.
DISCUSSION
This annexation of approximately 526 acres extends to Trico Road to the west, approximately3/4of a mile
south of Hardin Road to the north, approximately V4 of a mile north of Trico-Marana Road to the south
and to the existing Town of Marana boundary to the east.
All notification requirements have been properly complied with for this annexation as set forth in A.R.S.
§ 9-471. The Blank Petition was recorded with the Pima County Recorders Office on October 30, 2007.
The Town Council conducted a public hearing for this annexation on November 20, 2007.
The property proposed for annexation is in two ownerships, 5KG Investment Company LLC and Pima
County. A portion of the property owned by Pima County houses the wastewater treatment facility. The
Town has received signed petitions representing over 50% of the property owners and over 50% of the
real and personal property value. The 526 acres is zoned Rural Homestead (RH) in Pima County and will

minimum lot size of 180,000 square feet).
Arizona Revised Statutes requires the Council to approve a plan, policy or procedure that will provide the
annexed territory with appropriate levels of infrastructure and services to serve the new development

MARANA SPECTRum DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
TowN OF MARANA., ARiZONA
This Development Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into by and between the TOWN
OF MARANA, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Town") and Kimco BARCLAY MARANA,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Owner/Developer"). The Town and the
Owner/Developer are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Parties," and each is
sometimes individually referred to as a ?6party."
RECITALS
A. Owner/Developer was formed and exists for the purposes of owning and developing
approximately 170 acres of real property located within the corporate limits of the Town (the
"Property").
B. Owner/Developer intends and desires to develop a regional lifestyle/entertaim-nent/power
retail shopping center on the Property containing approximately 1,200,000 square feet (the
"Development").
C. The Property and the proposed Development were included in and subject to the
provisions of the Marana Spectrum Specific Plan (the "Marana Spectrum Plan"), approved by
the Town on August 7, 2007 pursuant to Ordinance No. 2007.19.
D. The Property is legally described in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.
E. The Town and Owner/Developer desire to establish certain agreements regarding the
Development pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-500.05 and certain agreements in connection with
development activities for the economic benefit of the Town pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-500.11 upon
and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
F. The Development is consistent with the Town's long-term economic development
strategies and is expected to create a source of significant tax revenue for the Town for many
years.
G. The Development will have a substantial positive economic impact on the Town because
it is expected to provide diverse commercial and retail service opportunities consistent with the
businesses targeted by the Town. The facilities to be constructed as part of the Development are
expected to produce a significant number of new jobs and generate substantial sales tax
revenues. Consequently, the short-term and long-term benefits of the Development will offset
and significantly outweigh the costs of the reimbursements provided by the Town under this
Agreement.
H. The Development will provide significant intangible benefits to the Town as a retail
lifestyle/entertainment/power center and may also include mixed use, hotel, office and residential
components.

(as defined in A.R.S. § 9-461).
J. The Town is authorized by A.R.S. § 9-500.05 to enter into a development agreement with
a landowner or other person or entity having an interest in real property located within the Town
to facilitate development of the property by providing for, among other things, the conditions,
terms, restrictions, and requirements for development and public infrastructure and the financing
of public infrastructure. Because of its location and typography, the Development will entail
significant atypical additional offsite and site costs requiring reimbursement for feasible
development.
K. In approving this Agreement, the Town Council has found and determined that certain
activities relating to the Development are economic development activities within the meaning of
A.R.S. § 9-500.11, that all expenditures by the Town pursuant to this Agreement constitute the
appropriation and expenditure of public monies for and in connection with economic
development activities and that it is appropriate to provide Owner/Developer with the
reimbursement in this Agreement as an inducement to cause Owner/Developer to construct, own
and operate the Development in the Town.
L. The Town adopted a notice of intent to enter into this Agreement not less than 14 days
before the Town Council approved this Agreement, in compliance with A.R.S. § 9-500.11.
M. The Town Council finds that the Development will raise more revenue for the Town than
the amount of the reimbursements to the Owner/Developer within the duration of this
Agreement.
N. An independent third party not financed by the Owner/Developer has verified the Town
Council's finding that the Development will raise more revenue for the Town than the amount of
the reimbursements to the Owner/Developer within the duration of this Agreement.
0. The Town Council finds that in the absence of the reimbursements to the
Owner/Developer provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Development would not locate in the
Town in the same time, place or manner as it will with the reimbursements to the
Owner/Developer.
P. The Owner/Developer will incur out-of-pocket public infrastructure construction costs and
will make certain contributions for public infrastructure and environmental mitigation in the
immediate vicinity of and directly benefiting the Development.
Q. The reimbursements to the Owner/Developer provided pursuant to this Agreement are
intended to reimburse the Owner/Developer for its out-of-pocket public infrastructure
construction costs and public infrastructure and environmental mitigation contributions and

"Non-Performing Party") with respect to any of that Party's obligations under this Agreement,
the other Party (the "Demanding Party") shall be entitled to give written notice in the manner
prescribed in paragraph 8.29 below to the Non-Perfon-ning Party, which notice shall state the
nature of the non-performance claimed and make demand that such non-performance be
corrected. The Non-Performing Party shall then have (i) twenty days from the date of the notice
within which to correct the non-performance if it can reasonably be corrected by the payment of
money, or (ii) thirty days from the date of the notice to cure the non-performance if action other
than the payment of money is reasonably required, or if the non-monetary non-performance
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty days, then such longer period as may be reasonably
(00006071.DOC / 2) 11/7/20075:09PM
MARANA SPECTRUM DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
-8-
required, provided and so long as the cure is promptly commenced within thirty days and
thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion. If any non-performance is not cured within the
applicable time period set forth in this paragraph, then the Demanding Party shall be entitled to
begin the mediation and arbitration proceedings set forth in this Article. The Parties agree that
due to the size, nature and scope of the Development, and due to the fact that it may not be
practical or possible to restore the Property to its condition prior to Owner/Developer's
development and improvement work, once implementation of this Agreement has begun, money
damages and remedies at law will likely be inadequate and that specific performance will likely
be appropriate for the non-performance of a covenant contained in this Agreement. This
paragraph shall not limit any contract or other rights, remedies, or causes of action that either
Party may have at law or in equity.
7.3. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the Parties cannot resolve
between themselves, the Parties agree that there shall be a forty-five day moratorium on
arbitration during which time the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by nonbinding
mediation before commencement of arbitration. The mediation shall be held under the
commercial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. The matter in dispute shall
be submitted to a mediator mutually selected by Owner/Developer and the Town. If the Parties
cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator within seven days, then within three days
thereafter the Town and the Owner/Developer shall request the presiding judge of the Superior
Court in and for the County of Pima, State of Arizona, to appoint an independent mediator. The
mediator selected shall have at least five years' experience in mediating or arbitrating disputes
relating to real estate development. The cost of any such mediation shall be divided equally
between the Town and the Owner/Developer. The results of the mediation shall be nonbinding
on the Parties, and any Party shall be free to initiate arbitration after the moratorium.
7.4. Arbitration. After mediation, as provided for in this Article, any dispute, controversy,
claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by
submission of the matter by both Parties to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association and the Arizona Uniform Arbitration Act, A.R.S. § 12-501 et
seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in a court having
jurisdiction.
Article 8. General Terms and Conditions.
8. 1. Tenn. This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution by all the Parties and
the effective date of the resolution or action of the Town Council approving this Agreement (the
"Effective Date"). The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and, unless
sooner terminated by the mutual consent of the Parties, shall automatically terminate and shall
thereafter be void for all purposes on December 31 immediately following the earlier of (i) the
twentieth anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the fifteenth anniversary of the date the
Interchange is completed by the Arizona Department of Transportation and first open for
vehicular traffic and use by the general public. The Town at its option may record a document in
the office of the Pima County Recorder which states the date the Interchange was completed by
the Arizona Department of Transportation and first open for vehicular traffic and use by the
general public. If the Parties determine that a longer period is necessary for any reason, the term
of this Agreement may be extended by written agreement of the Parties.

8.2. Waiver. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver of that right
or remedy, and no waiver by the Town or the Owner/Developer of the non-performance of any
covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach
of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.
8.3. Attorney's Fees. If any Party brings a lawsuit against any other Party to enforce any of
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, or by reason of any non-performance of
this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be paid all reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees by the other Party, in an amount determined by the court and not by the jury. Nothing in the
use of the word "lawsuit" in the preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of paragraph 7.4
above, requiring disputes to be resolved by binding arbitration.
8.4. Countgoarts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. The signature pages from one or more counterparts may be removed from the
counterparts and attached to a single instrument so that the signatures of all Parties may be
physically attached to a single document.
8.5. Headinas. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are intended to be used to assist
in interpreting the meaning and construction of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.6. Recitals. The recitals set forth at the beginning of this Agreement are hereby
acknowledged, confirmed to be accurate and incorporated here by reference.

8.9. Time Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every obligation by the Town and
Owner/Developer under this Agreement.
8.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Parties pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-500.05 (D).
Owner/Developer shall retain the right to receive Reimbursement Payments as provided by
paragraph 6.4 of this Agreement regardless of the status of title or ownership of any or all of the
Property unless Owner/Developer expressly assigns its rights to receive the Reimbursement
Payments. No assignment, however, shall relieve either party of its obligations under this
Agreement, except that an assignment by Owner/Developer in connection with the transfer of
title to the Property shall relieve Owner/Developer of its obligations under this Agreement if the
transferee agrees to be fully bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any assignment by
Owner/Developer shall be subject to the approval of the Town, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner/Developer may, without the Town's
consent, assign this Agreement to any Affiliate of Owner/Developer, or any entity in which
Owner/Developer or an Affiliate of Owner/Developer is a managing member or managing
partner or any entity in which BARCLAY GROUP and Kimco DEVELOPERS, INC. are owners. As

MARANA SPECTRum DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
_10-

Owner/Developer. After assignment of rights as provided in this paragraph, the assignee shall
receive the right to sales tax reimbursements under Article 6 of this Agreement to the extent of
the assignment.
8.11. No Title Encumbrance. Notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement is being recorded
in the Official Records of Pima County, it is intended that this Agreement shall not be an
encumbrance upon the title of any person or entity purchasing or owning a portion of the
Property, and that the terms and conditions of the Agreement are not covenants running with the
land and that no person or entity is bound by (or entitled to) the burdens and benefits of this
Agreement unless the burdens are expressly assumed by or the benefits are expressly assigned to
that person or entity.
8.12. Lender Provisions. Notwithstanding paragraph 8.10 above, the Town is aware that
financing for development, construction, and operation of the Development may be provided, in
whole or in part, from time to time, by one or more third parties (collectively, "Lender"), and
that Lender may request a collateral assignment of this Agreement as part of its collateral for its
loan to Owner/Developer. The Town agrees that such collateral assignments are permissible
without the consent of the Town. In the event of non-performance by Owner/Developer, the
Town shall provide notice of non-performance to any Lender previously identified in writing to
the Town at the same time notice is provided to Owner/Developer. If a Lender is permitted under
the terms of its agreement with Owner/Developer to cure the non-performance and/or to assume
Owner/Developer's position with respect to this Agreement, the Town agrees to recognize the
rights of Lender and to otherwise permit Lender to assume such rights and obligations of
Owner/Developer under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to prohibit, restrict, or limit in any way the right of a Lender to take title to all or any portion of
the Property, pursuant to a foreclosure proceeding, trustee's sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
The Town shall, at any time upon request by Owner/Developer or Lender, provide to any Lender
an estoppel certificate, acknowledgement of collateral assignment, or other document evidencing
that this Agreement is in full force and effect, that it has not been amended or modified (or, if
appropriate, specifying the amendment or modification), and that no non-performance by
Owner/Developer exists under this Agreement (or, if appropriate, specifying the nature and
duration of any existing non-performance) and certifying to such other matters reasonably
requested by Owner/Developer or Lender. Upon request by a Lender, the Town will enter into a
separate assumption or similar agreement with the Lender consistent with the provisions of this
paragraph.
8.13. No Partnership. It is not intended by this Agreement to, and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall, create any partnership, joint venture or other arrangement between the
Owner/Developer and the Town.
8.14. Third Party Beneficiaries. No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to, or
shall be for the benefit of any person, firrn, organization or corporation not a party to this

cause of action under this Agreement, except that each present and future Anchor Tenant is
hereby made a limited third party beneficiary with respect to paragraphs 2.7 and 8.11 of this
Agreement. Any Anchor, Tenant is not made a third party beneficiary of any other term,
provision or covenant contained in this Agreement. No Anchor Tenant shall have the right to

interpreted under the laws of Arizona, and the Parties agree that any litigation or arbitration shall

construing any portion of this Agreement for or against any Party.

INFORMATION (i
4R12Ut0--
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2007 AGENDAITEM: K. I
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Erik Montague, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-221: Ordering and declaring formation of the
Gladden Farms (Phase 11) Community Facilities District;
approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of a District
Development, Financing Participation and Intergovernmental
Agreement (Gladden Farms (Phase 11) Community Facilities
District).
DISCUSSION
This resolution authorizes the execution of a District Development, Financing Participation and
Intergovernmental Agreement (Gladden Farms (Phase 11) Community Facilities District) (the
"CFD Agreement") concerning matters related to the creation of the Gladden Farms (Phase 11)
CFD. It also takes all steps necessary to order and declare formation of the Gladden Farms
(Phase II) CFD. The Mayor and Council of the Town of Marana will serve as the Board of
Directors of the Gladden Farms (Phase 11) CFD (the "CFD Board"), the Town Manager will
serve as the CFD Manager, the Town Engineer will serve as the CFD Engineer, the Town
Attorney will act as the CFD Attorney, and the other Town officials will act in their same
capacity for the CFD. One or more of the CFD positions may eventually be contracted to outside
personnel; for example, it is likely that an outside engineering form will be substituted as CFD
Engineer, to accept and inspect public infrastructure acquired or constructed by the CFD.
By a resolution of its own, the CFD Board will schedule an election to authorize the sale of a
total of $60,000,000 in bonds over the life of this CFD. The CFD Agreement allows control by
the Developer until the first $20,000,000 in bond are issued or 20 years, whichever occurs first.
It is anticipated that this first $20,000,000 in bonds, if the CFD board decides to sell them, will
be used to reimburse the Developer for public infrastructure constructed by it, in and for the
benefit of Gladded Farms (Phase II), including certain infrastructure addressed in Exhibit B to
the CFD Agreement, which must be provided by the Developer. The remaining bond
authorization will be available to fund later public infrastructure projects to the extent that they
benefit Gladden Farms (Phase 11).
These documents anticipate a maximum secondary tax rate of $2.80 per $100 of assessed
valuation, which includes $0.30 per $100 for operation and maintenance expenses. The actual
rate could go higher, if for some reason the total assessed valuation within the CFD falls or some
other unforeseen event makes it necessary to raise the tax rate to cover the bond obligations.
Gladden Farms (Phase H) CFD Fonnation 11120107 06:05pm EM
The Developer's financial obligations under this documents or as a result of forming this CFD
include; (a) non-refundable application fee of $75,000; (b) an annual obligation to pay up to
$100,000 in CFD operation and maintenance costs, to the extent such costs are not covered by
the $0.30 per $100 operation and maintenance tax; (c) deposit of $25,000 with the Town to cover
initial costs of the CFD prior to the levy of the $0.30 per $100 operation and maintenance tax;
(d) the obligation to provide standby contributions to cover any difference in the amount
necessary to pay annual financial obligations with respect to all outstanding bonds and the
amount generated by a tax rate of no more than $2.50 per $ 100 of assessed valuation; and (e) the
obligation, at the CFD Board's discretion, to deposit twice the maximum annual debt service for
any fiscal year (in addition to the reserve fund in the amount of up to one year's debt service paid
out of bond proceeds, at the discretion of the CFD Board).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No significant financial impact associated with the formation of the CFD.
