REDEVELOPMENT AREA
Business Advocate Janine
Solley briefed the council on the item.
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel gave an explanation on how the boundaries were determined
and the assessment that was done on the parcels within the
proposed boundaries .
Councilmember Barker asked if
this can be amended in the future to bring in other areas if
they see fit to do that .
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 3 OF 30
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel stated they would not be able to change anything to date
because of the mailers they have to send everybody. In the
future, if the council chooses to redo the boundaries, they
would redo this process .
Councilmember Barker asked
what this means for a property owner.
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel stated it means different things for different property
owners .
Councilmember Barker asked
what it means for residential property owners.
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel stated it means that if they do not have sidewalks in
their neighborhood, they could potentially see sidewalks . The
whole idea of the redevelopment area is to see revitalization
and improvements made. It is a focus to invest staff time to
find the grants to invest in those areas.
Councilmember Barker asked
what it means for business properties .
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel stated it also means infrastructure, but also other
programs that have incentives for businesses that could mean
other options. A couple of weeks ago a commercial
rehabilitation program was brought before the council. That
type of program would only be eligible within a redevelopment en
area. It remains to be seen if it is a program they will move
forward with.
Councilmember Barker
commented the bottom line for either business or residential is
not that people will end up having to put out money because they
have become a part of this district. Instead the city will be
searching for grants and those types of things to improve those
areas .
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 4 OF 30
Program Coordinator Heather
Patel stated that is correct.
City Attorney Joel Stern
commented there are also redevelopment statutes . If they are in
a redevelopment area, certain things assist development had they
not been within that area. The city can do certain things in
addition to the grants . There are certain things with the sale
4.11 of property and development agreements . If it is a
redevelopment project, there are certain things the city would
not have to do normally if it is outside a redevelopment area.
It helps the city develop the area a little easier. Some of the
state statutes are waived because they are in the redevelopment
area.
Councilmember Barker
commented they are saying this is an advantage for the property
owner.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated it is also an advantage for the city, if the city
actually wants to assist in the development of a property, if
there is a redevelopment project aside from grants and other
issues that Heather and Janine bring up.
Mayor Insalaco opened the
public hearing on the item.
Mr. Clark Smithson, 1700 S.
Weaver Drive, Apache Junction, addressed the council . He
congratulated staff and the city council for moving in this
Adak direction to provide the extra assistance to residents.
Mayor Insalaco closed the
public hearing with no one else wishing to speak and reopened
the item to council discussion.
Councilmember Wilson
commented it was mentioned that 76% of the roadways are
substandard. He asked what could be done to the roads and how
that would affect the community in the residential area.

Interim Public Works
Director/City Engineer Giao Pham stated it will give the city
options. It will allow them to look around for different
funding sources for grants for drainage, utilities, roadway
maintenance or others. He cannot tell them more as he would
have to look at each neighborhood separately or wholly as far as
being smart with their resources. A simple slurry seal might
work on certain roadways but others, like Main, it will not work
because they need to fix the drainage issue. It depends on the e
issues in each neighborhood. They have to remedy the issues by
having that solution It gives them more flexibility in
financial options and opens the door to federal programs. It is
working towards applying some of the federal money to
residential roadways versus the arterial roadways.
Mayor Insalaco closed the
discussion with no further comments and called for a motion
Councilmember Barker MOVED

COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF
APPROACH TO ADVANCE PUBLIC ART IN
APACHE JUNCTION
Business Advocate Janine
Solley briefed the council on the item. She advised she would
have various questions regarding public art to ask them in order
to determine how the council wanted to proceed with public art.
She asked if the council wanted to add public art to the list of
exemptions in the procurement code.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 7 OF 30
Councilmember Waldron asked
what the other exemptions are in the procurement code.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated it usually deals with services such as accounting
services and legal services He did not have the list with him.
Sole source is not under the exemption section. It includes
other types of professional services except for architect and
engineering They have to use a Title 34 process for that .�.
Councilmember Waldron
commented he just answered his question with professional
services .
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated there are also certain library purchases .
City Attorney Joel Stern
commented there is also if public, works does a project for labor
at $100, 000 or less .
The council consensus was to
add public art to the exemption list.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked if the council would like staff to structure a
process by which the city, via the city manager' s office, can
partner with a group or groups that have a 501C3 status in order
for the city to either accept art or donations to procure public
art .
Councilmember Serdy agreed.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated this would give them the ability to work with an
outside group that might be willing to do fundraising or do some
legwork or groundwork in procuring some art for the city.
The council consensus was to
do so.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked how they would like to convey their vision for
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 8 OF 30
public art, such as using the Downtown Redevelopment
Implementation Strategy as the visionary document as it talks
about what the downtown can eventually be . They can continue to
use that or they can use other ideas if they wish to suggest
them. They could come up with a standardized statement as to
what the council' s vision is for public art . If groups want to
work with them on that, they will have a great idea of what it
is the city is looking for.
oak
Councilmember Barker
commented she believes the Downtown Redevelopment Implementation
Strategy definitely conveys the vision but she thinks that the
council unanimously asked to have the piece that is placed there
now. That piece definitely shows where the council is going
Vice Mayor Dietz commented it
looks awesome. They did a good job.
Councilmember Barker
commented she believes that is a very good example to put into
that statement so that it is something that potential artists
might see and understand.
Councilmember Serdy commented
he believes the fifth question, whether there will be a plan or
not, covers this as well . He thinks the first question and the
fifth question will coincide when they get to the bottom
Councilmember Barker agreed
that the plan seems to be the all-encompassing.
Auk Business Advocate Janine
Solley commented they will need somebody to be the ultimate
decision maker for the proposals or gifts that come forward to
the city. She asked who would be responsible for making that
decision: the city manager or should he appoint a committee of
community members; the city council with the public art
presented at a public meeting; or they might have other ideas as
to who that should be
Councilmember Waldron
commented he would like to see a committee of citizens do it .
There should be a presentation to the council on what it will
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 9 OF 30
be. He thinks it is a great opportunity for community
involvement .
Councilmember Serdy commented
they have some new members . He asked Janine to give some
background on where this started, that we have already had a
call to the artists, what Dave is asking for, that a group chose
some things and narrowed it down from a wide range. Things did
not work out which is why we are discussing this further. If _
they let these committees come up with some ideas, he thinks the
only thing council would do is if something was very horrible
they would refuse it politely. The council does not want to be
in on every decision on what the artists are going to create and
bring to the council .
Councilmember Waldron
commented his only concern, and he understands that and has
followed what has occurred in the past, is that he would hate to
see the council seen as an arbitrator of art . To him, straight
line is an art; beyond that he is not an artist .
Councilmember Barker
commented he cannot be on this committee.
Councilmember Waldron
commented his concern is that he knows what he likes, but that
is not necessarily what the public wants .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated the original process that they used was staff
reaching out and trying to get a broad group of stakeholders .
The Chamber of Commerce, the school district, a member of SACA
and city staff comprised the five member committee . They were
simply seeking concepts when they started. They had no money
for public art so they went out into the art community to find
their willingness to share ideas with them They did that with
the assistance of SACA, who released a call to the artists,
which is an invitation to bring ideas forward. They got into
trouble once they got some money because they were then able to
potentially purchase art but they did not go through the city
procurement code . They utilized the idea of the committee, not
a city manager appointed committee, but actually a staff
committee who were working on a median enhancement project . It
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012

A.
seemed to work. They were able to forward to the council the
recommendation of the committee. They received five proposals
and they came to a consensus on one proposal . It was brought to
the city council and they ultimately ended up showing all five
and letting the council make a decision. The difficulty with a
committee is if they are going to engage them and ask them to be
a recommending body, it can get sticky when you turn down their
recommendation.
Councilmember Waldron
commented he is not proposing they fix something that is not
broken. It is kind of a community effort . The more involved
they are, the better we are.
Councilmember Serdy commented
what got turned down was the money aspect . We did not want to
spend taxpayer money on it That whole process took months and
hundreds of man hours .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated it was not hundreds but it seemed like it .
Councilmember Serdy commented
when you add everyone that worked on it together, the artists
and everyone else .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated then that would be correct, especially when you
take into consideration the time put in by the artists to
prepare their concept . She needs to know who they want to have
make the ultimate decision.
Councilmember Barker
commented the committee is a good idea but it needs to be a wide
group of citizens for a lot of different views on what is art
and what is not . She would like a consensus from a pretty broad
group where they have not got just artists . There are going to
be other people who will be driving by that area all day long.
It would be really nice if that group could come to a consensus
even though they may only see a straight line as art.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked if she could recommend a number for the committee.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 11 OF 30
Councilmember Barker stated
it could not be too big or they would end up having a hassle on
their hands .
Councilmember Serdy commented
they had five in the original committee .
Mayor Insalaco commented
there is nothing wrong with having five; if they have more than a
nothing might get done .
Councilmember Serdy asked if
they could leave it where if they find another group later that
would be interested in it they could have someone join the
committee He asked how they could adapt to let another entity
come in.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked if they wanted to do a potential group size range.
They could say a maximum of ten but only appoint eight and if
someone expresses interest they can add someone.
Mayor Insalaco commented the
lower the number the better but that works .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked if they wanted five to ten.
The council consensus agreed
with those numbers .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked if staff should make some recommendations to the
city manager on who the invitees might be.
The council consensus agreed.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley asked who would be making the decision ultimately as to
who would be on the committee. She asked if it would be the
city manager or if they should discuss it with him.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 12 OF 30
/IN ON
Councilmember Serdy commented
he thinks the city manager has done a good job on these in the
past .
City Manager George Hoffman
commented the council would want, with staff assistance, the
city manager to assemble a group of citizens to include the
broad-based perspective that Janine described, between five and
ten persons in size.
Councilmember Serdy commented
these persons would possibly represent groups
Councilmember Barker
commented they do not have to represent groups .
City Attorney Joel Stern
asked if they often mean entities when they say persons .
Mayor Insalaco commented it
could. An entity would be one person.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated a 501C3 could be one of those positions
Mayor Insalaco stated that is
correct . They do not have to have five members from SACA. It
can just be one member from SACA. Other people can be members.
Councilmember Barker
commented the person would be a representative from their group.
Councilmember Serdy commented
it would be like, for example, a garden club, an organization.
City Manager George Hoffman
asked if they would be responsible for doing the things listed
on the screen. If he understands that construct, that puts them
in that decision-making role, not the council, for example.
City Attorney Joel Sterns
asked if they are seeking a recommendation or an actual decision
that they would make
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 13 OF 30
ems emN
Mayor Insalaco commented if
it is something that the public is not going to like, the
council has the feeling they should have the right to refuse it.
This is a community project and he would like to see them make a
decision.
City Attorney Joel Stern
asked again if it is to be a decision or a recommendation to the
council .
eS
Mayor Insalaco commented it
would be a recommendation.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated that the council would make the ultimate decision.
Mayor Insalaco commented he
believes they should. He feels it is part of their job. He
does want to turn it down just because one of them does not like
it . It has to be almost a unanimous decision amongst all of
them. He feels they have the right people in staff that could
probably do most of the work and just bring it before the city
manager.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated he has heard one councilmember articulate their response
to this question. He asked if the rest of them feel the same
way.
Councilmember Barker asked
what response he is speaking of
ems
City Manager George Hoffman
stated the one the mayor just gave
Councilmember Barker
commented if she understands the mayor' s response correctly, he
appears to be saying that staff would decide if it is
appropriate, acceptable or wanted.
Mayor Insalaco commented that
they would also bring it before the city manager.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 14 OF 30
Councilmember Barker
commented the city manager could then decide if the staff' s
recommendation is acceptable, appropriate or warranted and is,
in fact, okay. She does not believe she can do that.
Councilmember Serdy commented
the artists are going to create this It may not be created
right away. They might have spells of two years or so where
there is nothing being created or offered. They cannot just
make an artist sit down and create something if these donations
come and then the group that George is going to possibly form
would say yes or come up with concepts Going backwards, he
gave as an example 9 in a row possible in the next two years.
He believes he wants to safeguard number 10 as one they do not
want . They want to be able to politely say no. The council
would be saying they cannot take this
Councilmember Barker
commented what he is saying is that this group that George is
going to help put together with Janine would be the group that
would take the donations, talk about possible concepts, et
cetera, and when that group has a concept they think is tippy-
top, then that group would bring it to the council . She asked
the mayor if that is what he is saying
Mayor Insalaco commented
Councilmember Serdy stated it perfectly.
Councilmember Barker asked if
that is what he is saying.
Mayor Insalaco stated it is .
City Manager George Hoffman
asked if this would be the group that would accept money
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated they are not to that discussion yet.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated his group would vet these concepts and come back to
council for final determination. They like the 92 pieces of
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 15 OF 30
eiN e
art, they like the final recommendation, the council says yes or
they say no.
Councilmember Serdy commented
he believes the senior staff member who is an artist should be a
member of this group if time allows him. He does not want his
time jeopardized. He wears many other hats as well. He would
be a good advisor on what is feasible, letting them know they
cannot build that because it will not work for the pedestal or eiN
not on the ground.
Mayor Insalaco commented that
is what he is saying, they have people on staff more qualified
to say what can be done.
Councilmember Serdy stated
they are recommending they put at least one member of staff in
this group as well, or two.
Mayor Insalaco asked if he
felt comfortable with that .
City Manager George Hoffman
commented this group vets the art and council makes the final
determination.
Councilmember Wilson
commented they come up with the concept. If they have a concept
on whatever it is, and it is approved by the council, then they
go by that concept . The council will accept whatever it is as
eS
long as it is within that concept. That way the arts committee
is deciding what they want for the community and they are doing
it instead of having to come forward with individual ideas . He
does not want to have them feel they have to run everything by
the council .
Councilmember Serdy commented
he believes question number 5 is being answered a little bit as
we work down towards it.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated this is the most difficult question. If we can
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 16 OF 30
get through this one, it is downhill from here. She is hearing
they want a committee of citizens to be appointed by the city
manager with a broad base group that has stakeholder
representation, having five to ten members, with a 501C3 entity
being considered a member and having a representative in the
group, and they would be a recommending committee with the
ultimate decision made by the city council She suggested part
of what they could do when working the process with that
recommending committee, if they have multiple concepts, is to
maybe bring forward two to choose from. It will depend on who
the groups are The next question is simple since they have
already said yes to changing the procurement code Previously
they have had to adhere to the formal bid. SACA released a call
to the artists in the first process. We have a similar city
process they can use called the request for proposal If we get
some funding from a group that says they would like it used for
art, they can do a request for proposal from artists . When the
proposals come in, the body they have identified in the previous
question is how they would select .
Councilmember Waldron asked
what she needed for direction on that one.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated she does not need any. She just wanted to make
sure they are aware of the process if they get funding. If they
get a donated piece of art it will come to the council as a
recommendation and they can decide whether they want it or not.
If it is money and they have to go out to the artists and say
they need something created for a certain pedestal and here is
our vision, they will then come back with ideas. They would
have a dollar amount at that time. She asked if the city should
seek public art grants; do they want staff to expend resources
working on finding public art grants.
Mayor Insalaco asked if there
are such things .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated there are. The alternative to actually having
city staff spending time on that is to provide technical
assistance from the grants staff to the established nonprofits.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 17 OF 30
They will then write their own grant applications and really
participate in trying to come up with some funding.
Councilmember Waldron
commented if we provided technical assistance it would help the
nonprofits learn the grant process. It would be kind of an
educational process .
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated that is correct .
Vice Mayor Dietz commented
that sounds good
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated she would put technical assistance for the
nonprofits .
Vice Mayor Dietz stated at
the very beginning it would take a little bit more of staff' s
time, but as it progresses it should take less and less of
staff' s time.
City Manager George Hoffman
suggested they implement that direction with an understanding
that if there was a revenue source only a municipality could go
for we could still do that . We would not be disallowed by doing
it from this direction.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated that is a great point. The primary focus is not
to have staff scattered and working in all different directions
running after grants . If they can help those nonprofits who
want to help us acquire art, then that would be better. If
something does come along for a municipality only, that will
work. The last question is she wanted to make sure they are
comfortable advancing without a public art master plan. They
have 2 pedestals to fill right now; one of them is already
filled. After that the city does not really have a plan for
where our next piece will go. This body that will be created
might be able to come up with some recommendations .
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 18 OF 30
Mayor Insalaco commented that
would be for the next one.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated it would be either the next phase or a different
area in the downtown that could benefit from art . She recalled
from earlier public art discussions the council was very
desirous of a cohesive-looking pro]ect . As we do these items
,.� piece by piece, there is a little bit more of a chance we will
have a potentially eclectic collection versus a cohesive piece.
She wanted to make sure they are aware of it and are comfortable
with it . It could happen.
Councilmember Barker
commented they could have this body working on a master plan for
the entire median section or for the entire city.
Vice Mayor Dietz commented he
would assume for the city with the improvements on North Apache
Trail, Plaza and as the downtown grows and expands . He is sure
they will be putting more public art in the downtown.
Councilmember Barker asked if
they want group to begin this plan and bring it to the council
or do they want them to just do the plan.
Councilmember Serdy commented
he thinks it is hard to form a plan right now.
Councilmember Barker
commented it is going to take some time.
Councilmember Serdy commented
it is going to take a long time to do it.
Councilmember Barker
commented it is going to definitely take some time, but where
they are going next is probably not difficult as they have the
two pedestals in the median ready to be filled.
Councilmember Serdy commented
he would be worrying about overcomplicating the process by
restricting creativity One of the problems with our meetings
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 19 OF 30
is they are once a month. This group could meet every day for
four days and that is equivalent to four months in council
years. He would not want to limit them.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated it may be they do not come up with a formal master
plan for the council . They might have recommendations on two or
three ideas of what you might consider next .
Mayor Insalaco commented it
would probably be a lot better if they do not complicate the
issue. They need to let them get their feet wet on those few
pedestals because who knows when the next phase will come down
the line but they can be thinking of it .
Vice Mayor Dietz commented
they do not know what is planned for the downtown.
Councilmember Serdy commented
the last question has still got to be worked out once this group
is formed. They will then have to give that group direction.
They will need to be briefed on what we are doing tonight and
that they were created to do what the council is talking about
right now.
Councilmember Barker asked if
they want them to think about where the city will be going next .
Councilmember Serdy commented
that is correct .
Councilmember Barker
commented for clarity' s sake, she believes what they have said
is they would like to exempt public art from the procurement
code, they would like a broad-based citizen committee gathered
by the city manager, 5-10 maximum, a 501 would be considered one
member, an organization would be considered one member, they
would develop concepts for the city council to consider and
staff would provide technical assistance for nonprofits to
prepare grants, understanding the city could still take
advantage of any grants they came across and the body could also
be thinking about where we go next . She asked if that is
basically what was said.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4, 2012
PAGE 20 OF 30
A. i.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated she is not sure if it needs to be part of the
motion but they might want to utilize the Downtown Redevelopment
Implementation and Strategy as the vision for public art so we
have an idea of what we are conveying to them. Also, if funding
becomes available we use the process of the request for
proposals to seek artists' ideas about a particular project .
p
City Manager George Hoffman
asked if the next two pieces of art have been decided upon.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated they have not .
City Manager George Hoffman
asked if they would be subject to this process now.
Business Advocate Janine
Solley stated that is correct .
There was general discussion
as to whether a short recess was needed to formulate a motion
and if the request for proposal was needed in the motion. It
was decided neither was needed.
Vice Mayor Dietz asked
Councilmember Barker if she was going to make a motion now.
Councilmember Barker
commented she is not as Councilmember Serdy did not hear it and
Alikk he wants to sure that everything is in it . First, that we
utilize the Downtown Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy
for the vision of public art, we exempt public art from the
procurement code, the city manager gather a broad-based citizen
committee, membership of 5 to 10, a 501 would be considered one
member or any other organization would be considered a single
member, that group would develop concepts to bring to the city
council for our consideration, staff will provide assistance to
nonprofits to procure grants, understanding that the city could
still take advantage of anything that came our way, and the body
itself that is formed would also recommend ideas for how we move
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 21 OF 30
forward with public art in the city She asked if there was
anything else.
Councilmember Serdy commented
just if other groups we do not know about can be added later.
Councilmember Barker asked if
the 5 to 10 members limits that .
Councilmember Serdy commented
if it is originally made at 5 it can be expanded on.
Councilmember Barker stated
it is 5 to 10.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated if they say 5 to 10 it is arranged.
Councilmember Serdy asked
what if it starts out at 6 and a group gets angry and is not
coming back. He asked if they can be replaced. He asked if it
could be fluid.
Councilmember Barker stated
it would have to be. It is built in. Anything that has
volunteers has to be fluid.
City Attorney Joel Stern
asked if she said the council would replace them.
Councilmember Barker
commented she did not.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated the city manager would replace them.
Councilmember Barker
commented that is correct .
Councilmember Serdy commented
it sounds good to him.

REDEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION AND STRATEGY FOR THE VISION OF

THAT THE CITY MANAGER FORM A BROAD-BASED CITIZEN COMMITTEE OF

AND THAT THIS BODY WHICH THE CITY MANAGER IS GOING TO GATHER
TOGETHER CAN ALSO BE ENCOURAGED TO RECOMMEND IDEAS FOR MOVING
FORWARD WITH PUBLIC ART IN THE CITY.
Vice Mayor Dietz SECONDED THE
MOTION .
VOTE. Unanimous .
The motion carried
AMEND THE CITY CODE TO TEMPORARILY
LENGTHEN TERMS OF OFFICE FOR MAYOR
AND COUNCIL POSITIONS IN ORDER TO
COMPLY WITH STATE LEGISLATION HB
2826
City Clerk Kathleen
Connelly briefed the council on the item.
p
Mayor Insalaco commented that
a council member whose term is up next June, the year 2013, four
years later they would have to go to an even year instead of the
odd year. So their term would be about four years plus a year-
and-a-half.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated under the current law that is correct . If they waited to
see if the legislature changes it to allow shortened terms, the
terms would be reversed and it would be six months less than a
four year term. It not only impacts those individuals who will
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 23 OF 30
be elected next year, but it also impacts those on the council
who were elected two years ago.
Mayor Insalaco commented it
affects all of us .
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated there will be two election cycles before we are all
caught up with this particular bill, presuming it does not .-.
change at some point
Vice Mayor Dietz commented
each council position will be extended.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that is their choice. Right now they have the ability to
say extend the terms . They would have to wait until sometime
next year to have the ability to say to shorten the terms.
Councilmember Serdy commented
they cannot assume that the legislature is going to change it so
we might as well go ahead with plans to do it one way or the
other.
Councilmember Wilson
commented he is concerned about waiting until close to the
election to make that selection. It gives the idea they are
doing this because of who is running for office . He would like
to divorce it from that . They have no idea who will be running
for those positions . He would like to make the decision ahead
of time instead of waiting until the last minute.
Mayor Insalaco and Vice Mayor
Dietz agreed.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that is a very good point . Right now none of them are
candidates for next year, but by the time this comes full cycle
they could be or they could be in between the March and May
elections . It is an unfortunate circumstance that the
legislature did what they did. Given their past history, they
usually do not do these bills until later on the session They
do not convene until January, they do not do these bills until
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SEPTEMBER 4 , 2012
PAGE 24 OF 30
later on in the session, presuming that whatever is suggested to
them is limited to this particular shortening term. If it is
not signed by the governor until May or June, and there is a 90
day period before it takes effect, unless it has an emergency
clause, it creates an interesting problem.
Mayor Insalaco commented
Apache Junction is not the only city this is affecting.
p
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated about two-thirds of the cities and towns in the state are
affected.
Vice Mayor Dietz commented he
thinks they should just go ahead and give direction to extend.
Councilmember Waldron
commented if they do something and the legislature changes
something, one goes in one end and you do not know what is
coming out the other end.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
asked the city attorney if he is okay with extending the terms .
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated if they vote to extend the terms now and the legislature
acts on it in a timely manner with an emergency clause so it
does not bump it into next year, that law would preempt anything
that the city council passes. They would be okay there. He is
uncomfortable with shortening the terms because of Title 9 .
Title 9 states a city council member shall serve 4 years . He
would not recommend that but it is up to the council . He would
recommend that they take some action now so that the city clerk
can get out in the packets at least a disclaimer or something
saying to the candidates that they might be getting a term, if
they run next year, through 2018 They would actually be seated
in January of the following year. The other election, the one
after that, the election would be in 2016
Mayor Insalaco closed the
discussion with no further comments and called for a motion.

Councilmember Waldron MOVED
THAT THE FOLLOWING DIRECTION BE GIVEN TO STAFF REGRADING
AMENDING THE CITY CODE TO TEMPORARILY LENGTHEN TERMS OF OFFICE
FOR MAYOR AND COUNCIL POSITIONS IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH STATE
LEGISLATION HB 2826; THAT WE TAKE NO ACTION AT THIS TIME TO
AMEND THE CITY CODE PENDING POSSIBLE CORRECTIVE ACTION BY THE
STATE LEGISLATURE AND THAT THE CITY CLERK BE DIRECTED TO ADVISE
POTENTIAL MAYOR AND COUNCIL CANDIDATES FOR THE MARCH 2013
ELECTION THAT THE TERMS OF OFFICE MIGHT BE LENGTHENED OR
SHORTENED DUE TO HB 2826.
Vice Mayor Dietz asked if
that was what was needed
Mayor Insalaco commented it
is not
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that is one of the options she presented to the council.
The other one was to simply direct to lengthen the terms. The
third one was to do nothing tonight and think it over a little
bit more and come back.
Vice Mayor Dietz commented
they just need to temporarily lengthen the terms of office for
mayor and council positions .
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated we do not need the city code change because we are
preempted, if she understood that correctly
Councilmember Waldron asked emS
if she needed direction on telling the candidates.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that is correct.
Mayor Insalaco commented that
this is to lengthen it .
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that is up to the council
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

Councilmember Waldron
commented since they do not know what changes will be made the
option is there, Just in case, for either way.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated he can do the motion that is in the packet which makes no
decision tonight to either lengthen or shorten, it simply
postpones that . It will have to come back to the council, but
it may not come back until next May which is after the election.
emN
Or they can do nothing tonight or they can simply direct to
advise candidates that the terms will be lengthened.
Vice Mayor Dietz commented he
thought that is what they wanted to do, to lengthen the
candidates' terms .
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated they can lengthen the terms and it does not require a
city code change .
Councilmember Wilson
commented they do not have a second on that motion.
Vice Mayor Dietz stated they
do not, so he can amend that.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated he can withdraw the motion.
Councilmember Waldron
WITHDREW THE MOTION
There was general discussion
on what needed to be in the motion.
Vice Mayor Dietz MOVED THAT
