BACKGROUND
Gila Community
In November 2002, the voters of Arizona approved Proposition 202 which initiated new gaming
compacts between the State of Arizona and the Native American tribes. An important provision
of Proposition 202 was the sharing of gaming revenues with the State. Henceforth, tribes would
be assessed by the State a percentage of their gross gaming revenue. Tribes had the option of
either paying all of this assessment into a State managed fund or to pay 88% of the assessment
into the State managed fund and retain 12% of the assessment for distribution as grants.
The Gila River Indian Community("GRIC") exercised its option to retain and administer 12% of
State shared revenue Known as the Gila River Indian Community State Shared Revenue
Program, the Program makes"Distributions to cities, towns, or counties for government services
that benefit the general public, including public safety, mitigation of the impacts of gaming, or
promotion of commerce and economic development." Gila River's policy is to generally limit the
distributions to cities, towns, and counties in Mancopa and Pinal Counties. Funding prionties
include: 1) Public Safety(police, fire, EMS); 2)Transportation Facilities; 3) Health Care
Services, 4) Economic Development, and 5) Education.
The law also stipulates that local nonprofits may submit applications to tribal entities if the
nonprofit organization is "sponsored" by an appropriate municipality. In such cases, the
municipality agrees to act as a conduit for the grant funds The municipality receives the grant
funds from the tribal entity and in turn issues a check to the nonprofit agency.
City of Apache Junction Applications
Since the inception of the grant program, the City has received funding from GRIC for two public
safety projects $77,958 to purchase an automated fingerprinting identification system (2006)
and $62,702 to purchase equipment to be used in Operation. DUI Purge (2007) Public safety
projects not funded include the purchase of a Fire Arms Training System (2008), eight mobile
data terminals (2009), three mobile data terminals (2010), and an evidence recovery vehicle
(2011)
In addition, in 2011 Economic Development's application for an electronic community message
marquee and Parks and Recreation's application for support of its Fit Family Program were not
funded.
Local Nonprofit Applications
In June 2012, the City Council adopted resolutions sponsoring the applications of East Valley
Adult Resources ("EVAR") and The Center EVAR requested funds to support the senior
transportation program at the Apache Junction Active Adult Center; EVAR will be notified in May
2012 if the project was awarded FY 2011-2012 Phase 2 funding The Center requested funds to
support a community health outreach worker at its agency; the project was not funded
In August 2011, the City Council adopted policies entitled "Indian Community State Shared
Revenue Program. Local Nonprofit Participation" See Attachment 5 for a copy of the
Policies The document outlines the procedures and criteria to be utilized by the City for
subsequent requests by local nonprofit organizations for"sponsorship" of potential grant
applications The following criteria for sponsorship were adopted by the Council
The applicant organization must
• Be legally recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) 3 organization,
• Be in good standing with the City (e g have a current business license),
• Provide a needed service to the residents of Apache Junction,
• Have a physical presence in the community (e.g. branch office, satellite office);
• Maintain appropriate insurance (e g. Directors and Operators Liability Insurance), and
• Be willing to name the City of Apache Junction as a co-insured if its projected is funded.
The proposed project must.
• Be a priority as articulated by the Gila River Office of Special Funding,
• Be submitted to the City's Revenue Resources Manager in a timely fashion and in the
required format,

Project: Meals While You Heal
Need: East Valley Adult Resources (EVAR) provides a variety of nutritional options for older
adults from meals served at a Center to home delivery A primary reason seniors are
readmitted to hospital is due to malnutrition The statement "So no senior goes hungry" is
critical to a senior who has recently been released from a hospital or is recovering from an
acute illness Meals While You Heal is one of EVAR's unique nutrition options which provide 14
frozen meals delivered by our Outreach Specialists for seniors who are suffering from an acute
illness, chronic illness, or recent discharge from the hospital One of EVAR's Outreach Specialist
conducts a mini-assessment at the time of meal delivery and connects the person to other
health and social services provided by EVAR, such as Assistance for Independent Living, as well
as other community services. A second delivery of 14 frozen meals is available if requested by
the client The suggested donation is $2 75 per meal
Proposed: EVAR wants no senior to wonder where their next meal is coming from and whether
or not they can pay. Meals While You Heal is based totally on the need of seniors at a critical
time in their lives Meals While You Heal provides the emergency meals to those seniors who are
recovering from an acute illness to aid in their recovery.
• Provide emergency frozen meals (7 or 14 packs)to at least 200"at-risk"seniors.
• Provide follow up with each person to ensure they are recovering and/or provide them with
additional supportive services

Staff wages $ 28,500
Staff ERE $ 4,275
Food costs $ 13,000
Supplies $ 2,500

Page 1 of 3
The budget is based on:
1 A variety of staff persons which include Food Prep Workers, Outreach Specialists, etc.
2. Food costs and supplies.
3 Mileage to deliver the meals
This project budget is for the Meals While You Heal program.That program generates 7,021
meals at a per meal cost of$7 13
Amount Requested. $25,000
Staff wages $ 13,000
Staff ERE $ 1,950
Food costs $ 9,205
Travel $ 845
Total $25,000
This program receives no federal or public dollars and is funded from the generosity of
individuals and businesses It is currently in jeopardy due to a reduced level of donations. The
Board of Directors feels strongly about this vital service, but additional funds must become
available or difficult decisions will have to be made.
Other Funders/partners $25,120
Projected funding includes $13,250 donations from program recipients; and 12,120 that will
need to be secured.
Anticipated Outcomes: It is anticipated that the grant funds will enable Meals While You Heal

• 240 trips to the older adults home for meal delivery and follow-up.
• 500 phone calls to ensure the person is recovering and/or to find additional supportive service
GRIC Priority: Health Care Services- Elderly
One of the priority populations listed by the Gila River Indian Community is elderly services. For
seniors proper nutritional support is critical to the health of seniors to age successfully In
America, no senior should go hungry Unfortunately, hunger among seniors is a growing crisis-
Page 2 of 3
doubling in recent years According to a 2009 study, five million seniors face a threat of hunger,
three million at risk of going hungry and one million cannot afford to buy food.
Persistent hunger and malnutrition leads to multiple chronic diseases that result in expensive
hospitalizations and nursing home or other long-term care placements. With the national
deficit skyrocketing, spending billions on Medicare, Medicaid and nursing home care due to
malnutrition doesn't seem like a reasonable solution Meals While You Heal offers a simple and
unique solution—get nutritional meals in the hands of seniors who need it most now!

Project Summary. Senior Transportation Program
Applicant:Apache Junction Active Adult Center (dba East Valley Adult Resources)
Contact: Dan Taylor, Executive Director, 964-9014 ext. 103;
dantaylor@evadultresources org
Project: Senior Transportation Program
Need: The Apache Junction Active Adult Center currently operates a schedule only
transportation service for disabled and older adults providing direct assistance in getting to the
center,grocery and medical appointments. The medical appointment component has been
expanded over the last two years to include direct transportation assistance three days a week
with a special emphasis on services to veterans. Veterans often need transportation to the
Southeast Veterans Affairs Health Care Clinic located in the former Williams Air Force Base
Hospital.The Clinic serves veterans in the East Valley including Apache Junction, Casa Grande,
Chandler, Coolidge, Florence, Mesa, Superior, and Queen Creek, Arizona Transportation
services are provided through the use of five vehicles and four part-time drivers The vehicles
have been obtained through a variety of grants over the past 7 years
The operational funding for this program has been solid over the last several years with one of
the major funding sources being the Lottery profits (i e LTAF II),which the City of Apache
Junction City Council annually designated for this service The designated lottery funds were
swept into the general fund by the State of Arizona Legislature and are no longer a funding
option Approval of this funding request will allow the program to continue to provide Apache
Junction residents with over 800 one-way trips monthly.
The word "independence"can mean many things to people. To many Apache Junction
residents independence means the ability to leave their home, attend the Active Adult Center,
go to a medical appointment or complete the vital task of weekly grocery shopping and getting
prescription medication The Apache Junction Active Adult Center with their door to door van
transportation service has made it possible for 186 (59%over the age of 75) of older adults to
remain independent this year by providing access to food, medical care, social services and
activities. The demographics of the recipients of the transportation service are over 75 years,
have at least one chronic illness and no longer drive
Page 1 of 3
Proposed.The project proposes to provide the following transportation services to those seniors
and disabled adults no longer able to drive:
— • At least 20 persons daily to and from the Active Adult Center for lunch, health education,
exercise, and other programs;
• 50 people to doctor appointments monthly;
• 100 trips monthly to purchase nutritional and other needed products from local retailers;
and
• Enhanced medical transportation to the Southeast Veterans Clinic from one day a week to an
"as requested" component of the system.
Duration:January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013
Project Budget: $82,115
Staff wages $ 46,128
Staff ERE $ 6,919
Vehicle operations/maintenance $ 28,162
Communications $ 906
Total $ 82,115
The budget is based on. 1)three drivers working 1350 hours/year, 2) operating a fleet of 5
accessible vans, 3) providing maintenance, gasoline, insurance, etc for the fleet.
This project budget is for the transportation program at the Apache Junction Active Adult
'1116, Center.That program generates 9,548 transportation units (one way trip) per year; the unit
cost is $8 60 In comparison the East Valley Dial-A-Ride currently has a unit cost of$35 50.
Amount Requested: $41,000
Staff wages $ 23,000
Staff ERE $ 3,400
Vehicle operations/maintenance $ 14,600
Total $41,000
The amount requested will replace the funds that historically had been provided by the City
through its LTAF II annual allocation Those funds are not longer available

Other Funders/partners $41,115
Projected funding includes $20,000 from the Pinal/Gila Council for Senior Citizens; $15,000
from the Section 5317 New Freedom Program (federal funds administered by ADOT), $4,250
donations from program recipients, and $1,865 that will need to be secured.
Anticipated Outcomes: It is anticipated that the grant funds will enable the Senior
Transportation Program to annually provide.
• 850 doctor appointments trips;
• 7,025 trips to and from the Active Adult Center,
• 1,650 trips to purchase nutritional and other needed products from local retailers; and
• 210 trips to the Southeast Veterans Clinic;this represents a 15%increase from the current
year. Each trip is 22 miles each way
GRIC Priority Transportation
One of the priorities listed by the Gila River Indian Community is transportation For older and
disabled adults transportation continues to be the number one issue in their ability to remain
independent. East Valley Adult Resources (EVAR) has operated a transportation service for
over 14 years in the City of Apache Junction for disabled and older adults.The transportation
system has five vehicles on the road daily to provide transportation and provide older
homebound adults home delivered meals The development and implementation of this
system shows what can happen when a nonprofit and a City truly care about its residents,
especially those in their later years who can no longer operate a vehicle
The transportation service transports between 20-30 persons on a daily basis providing a
scheduled service to the active adult center, grocery store and medical appointments with the
focus on maintaining their independence A donation is requested for the transportation
assistance, but not required The service operates on a five day a week schedule (Monday-
Friday) from 9.00 a.m.—4.00 p m

Project Summary: Health Career Initiative for Apache Junction High School Aged Youth
Applicant: Empowerment Systems, Inc
Contact: Ruthanne Wahlheim, (480) 367-6937, rahlheim@emsysonline.org
Project: Health Career Initiative for Apache Junction High School Aged Youth
Need: Health professional workforce shortages are prevalent throughout Arizona and it is
certainly the case in Apache Junction as the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) has designated Apache Junction as a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) HRSA
develops shortage designation criteria and uses them to decide whether or not a geographic
area, population group or facility is a Health Professional Shortage Area in the areas of primary
medical care, dental or mental health providers. Without strategies to educate and promote
youth to seek careers in a health profession, the shortages we currently experience will
continue to increase and the future health and wellbeing of Apache Junction residents will be
significantly compromised, and ultimately negatively impacting the community at large
Proposed:
The Health Career Initiative program was designed to inform high school aged youth of health
career field opportunities that are both clinical and non-clinical This three day program gives
an overview of the educational requirements, required internships, and extracurricular
programs which are needed to enhance their knowledge in a health field, as well as provide
them with available resources to further seek a health profession career. The program will
focus on the following health careers as primary topic areas: nutrition, forensic science, sports
medicine, and primary care.
Those participating have the opportunity to learn about various health careers by offering
hands on activities related to the health field, engaging guest speakers from the health field,
and general education on a particular topic The topics presented are aimed at the most
prevalent medical issues within the community, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
The education will be provided by a variety of mediums, such as games, Q&A, lecture and other
interactive activities At the conclusion of the three day program, a student will be well
equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to pursue a health profession degree or
certification
Interactive activities are given on each day of the program. The first activity is a pre quiz to
obtain a baseline to determine what knowledge the students may or may not have pertaining
to a health career For the last activity, the students will take a post quiz on what was taught
within the course The quizzes are scored to determine how much knowledge the student
gained by the program.
The Health Career Initiative program has already been implemented at two charter schools in
the Gila River Indian Community and is planned to continue in the 2012-13 school year. Our
goal is replicate the program and offer it high school aged youth in Apache Junction.
Page 1 of 2
"`
Program Objectives:
• Students will be knowledgeable in the different career choices within a particular health
field and where to look for this information.
• Students will know how to start their career and the requirements in education for
obtaining a degree in the health field.
• Students will have an understanding of how important health careers are for health and
wellness and the effects it has on lives and their communities
A total of 24 health field day programs will be provided during the grant period. The program is
coordinated and provided by a health professions intern through the Greater Valley Area
Health Education Center(GVAHEC), a program of Empowerment Systems, Inc.
Duration: January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013
Project Budget:
Student Support ($500 per health
profession intern) 2 interns per 3
semesters $3,000
Program Materials&Supplies $2,577
Student Incentives for Completers $7,200
Scrub shirts for class participants
(20 students per class x 24 classes) $8,800
Total $21,577
Amount Requested: $21,577
.0106.
Other Funders/Partners: Seeking partnership agreements with local high school and charter
schools Plan to have partnership agreements in place by June 30, 2012
Anticipated Outcomes: It is anticipated that 60 to 70% of the students participating in the
Health Career Initiative program will demonstrate increased knowledge pertaining to health
careers. This percentage will be measured by the pre quiz and the post quiz stated in the
program description The pre quiz will show how much the students know about the chosen
career field prior to the three day course of information. A post quiz will show the measurable
outcome of what the students learned during the three day program

CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZONA
INDIAN COMMUNITY STATE SHARED REVENUE PROGRAM:
LOCAL NONPROFIT PARTICIPATION
As Adopted by the City Council on August 2, 2011.
PURPOSE OF DOCUMENT
The purpose of this document is to delineate criteria which the City may utilize to
determine "sponsorship" of a nonprofit organization for participation in the Indian
Community State Shared Revenue Program.
BACKGROUND
In November 2002, the voters of Arizona approved Proposition 202 which initiated new
gaming compacts between the State of Arizona and the Native American communities.
An important provision of Proposition 202 was the sharing of gaming revenues with the
State. Henceforth, tribes would be assessed by the State a percentage of their gross
gaming revenue Tribes had the option of either paying all of this assessment into a
State managed fund or to pay 88% of the assessment into the State managed fund and
retain 12% of the assessment for distribution as grants
Several Native American communities (e.g Gila River Indian, Ak-Chin, Fort Mc Dowell
Yavapai) exercised their option to retain and administer 12% of State shared revenue
Known as the Indian Community State Shared Revenue Program, the Program makes
"Distributions to cities, towns, or counties for government services that benefit the
general public, including public safety, mitigation of the impacts of gaming, or promotion
of commerce and economic development "
Typical tribal funding priorities include. 1) public safety (police, fire, ems),
2) transportation, 3) health care services, 4) economic and/or community development;
5) education; and 6) environment
The law also stipulates that local nonprofits may submit applications to tribal entities if
the nonprofit organization is "sponsored" by an appropriate municipality. In such cases,
the municipality agrees to act as a pass through for the grant funds The municipality
Page 1 of 4
receives the grant funds from the tribal entity and in turn issues a check to the nonprofit
agency
Communities choose to support nonprofit tribal grant applications because 1) the law
stipulates this role for municipalities, 2) it is a way to address local needs that
government cannot (e.g. social services), 3) it is a way to assist local nonprofits; and 4)
it is considered being a "good neighbor"
Some tribal entities formalize the relationship between themselves and the pass through
municipality by using an Intergovernmental Agreement (e g Fort Mc Dowell Yavapai
Nation) See Addendum 1
Other tribal communities (e g Gila River Indian Community) do not formalize this
relationship rather they encourage the pass through municipality and the nonprofit
organization to develop their own contractual agreement if so desired See Addendum 2
for a sample Grant Pass Through Agreement that the City could utilize
CRITERIA
1 CONSIDERATION FOR SPONSORSHIP
An organization may be considered for sponsorship by the City Council if it is legally
recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) 3 organization, is in good
standing in the City (e g current business license), provides a service to the residents of
Apache Junction, and has a physical presence in the community (e g branch office,
satellite office)
II NON COMPETE
An organization may be considered for sponsorship if its grant application is not
determined by City staff to be in competition with an application to be submitted by the
City to the same tribal community during the same funding cycle.
Ill PROCESS TO BE UTILIZED
a Grant Initiated by Nonprofit Organization
An organization wishing to be sponsored by the City should initiate contact with the
City's Revenue Resources Manager. The organization will provide information as
requested by the Manager in a timely fashion so that the necessary City Council reports
may be prepared
The Revenue Resources Manager will present to the City Council a report summarizing
the organizations seeking sponsorship, the projects to be funded, and a
recommendation on whether or not to sponsor the agency This information will be
presented to the City Council during regularly scheduled work session(s) and City
Page 2 of 4
Council Meeting(s).
The ultimate decision on sponsorship rests with the City Council. As directed by the
tribal communities, sponsorship will be determined by the adoption of a City Council
resolution authorizing the submission of the grant application under the auspices of
Apache Junction. See Addendum 3 for a sample resolution
b Grant Initiated by an Indian Community
Some Indian Communities accept grant applications only by invitation (e.g. Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community). In such cases, the Indian Community requests a
nonprofit to submit a grant application that addresses a priority area of the Community;
such applications still must be submitted through a sponsoring municipality
If a nonprofit is requested by an Indian Community to submit a grant application that will
address a need of the residents of Apache Junction, the City's Revenue Resources
Manager will work with the Indian Community and the City Council to facilitate the
honoring of that request.
IV STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City staff will meet with an agency requesting sponsorship to determine if the agency. 1)
serves Apache Junction residents, 2) addresses an identified community need, 3)
maintains necessary City registration(s), and 4) maintains Directors and Operators
Insurance coverage (See Section V) Based upon this information, staff will prepare a
recommendation of sponsor/do not sponsor and submit to the City Council for
consideration
V DIRECTORS AND OPERATORS LIABILITY INSURANCE
It is a good business practice for a nonprofit to maintain a Directors and Operators
Liability Insurance Policy as part of its insurance package Such a policy protects the
agency against allegations of wrongful acts or decisions that result in a financial loss
Nonprofit agencies seeking "sponsorship" by the City are encouraged to maintain such
a policy and to name the City of Apache Junction as a co-insured An agency's
financial inability to maintain such a policy will not eliminate an organization from
consideration for sponsorship
VI ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
The City will incur some administrative costs (e g staff time) for sponsoring a nonprofit
organization City staff will discuss with representatives of the nonprofit organization
these costs and the possible reimbursement of them Inability to reimburse the City for
these administrative costs will not eliminate an organization from consideration for
sponsorship.
Page 3 of 4
VII LIABILITY
As noted earlier, some tribal entities execute Intergovernmental Agreements ("IGAs")
between itself and the pass through municipalities Such IGAs typically have language
which holds the municipalities harmless for any malfeasances with the funds to be
granted When possible, the City will execute an IGA with the tribal community See
Attachment 1.
When an IGA is not utilized by the funder, the City will execute a Grant Pass Through
Agreement with the nonprofit receiving funds See Addendum 2
VIII MALFEASANCE
Because its role is limited to that of a financial pass through, the City has no
responsibility for the re-cooping of grant funds or the pursuit of legal remedies should
malfeasance by the funded nonprofit organization occur during the life of a grant
contract Financial malfeasance would be covered by a standard Directors and
Operators Liability Insurance Policy. Malfeasance on the part of a nonprofit organization
will preclude City sponsorship in future funding cycles

BACKGROUND: TRANPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
Eligible Activities
The TE program funds enhancement/beautification projects on either local streets/roads
or State highways. The type of project (i.e. local street or State highway) dictates 1) the
amount of funds available, 2) the planning and implementation processes; 3) if a cash

Page 2 of 6
Changes to the Program
• Applications are now due in May
• There will be yearly funding cycles.
• Applicants are now required to prove ownership of ROW in the application
• For funded local projects, applicants will now be responsible for the costs that
ADOT incurs while working on the project (e g site inspections, environmental
reviews) These costs will be in addition to a 5.7% cash match and a $5,000
application review fee
• CAAG will now review applications and rank them before presenting them to the
TERC.
Implications of Changes
• Staff has limited time to research and prepare 2012 applications
• Funding opportunities will occur every year.
• The stipulation on ROW makes some potential projects ineligible at this time
• At this point, it is unclear the criteria that CAAG will use to rank its projects. It will
be important, if possible, for the City to have input into the development of these
criteria In 2010 no CAAG projects received funding, TERC reported that the lack
of prioritization was a major reason for receiving no funding
• Making the local project grant recipient responsible for ADOT services could
prove to be problematic to a municipality At this point, there is not a cap on the
amount of fees that can be charged back to a community In addition, the
municipality has no say over the types or amount of services that ADOT will
provide In its resolution, a city council will need to include language that
stipulates that the municipality will accept responsibility for these ADOT fees. In
essence, ADOT will be given a "blank check" for the services it provides
It should be noted that ADOT staff is attempting to secure permission from the
Federal Highway Administration to use federal funds to repay ADOT for the
services provided on the local projects. If this occurs, the ADOT costs become
another line item in the project budget It is anticipated that an answer to this
issue will be received by the time a community receives the notice to proceed on
a project (Fall 2013). At the time this report was written, City staff was attempting
to find out from ADOT if there are "escapes clauses" contained in the documents
that will be executed in January 2013.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE CITY COUNCIL
Process
On April 17, 2012 City staff met to discuss possible TE projects and to prepare for
Council a list of recommendations
City staff included the City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director. Assistant to the City
Manager, Economic Development Director, Business Advocate, CDBG and Housing
Programs Coordinator, Parks Superintendent The meeting was facilitated by the
Revenue Resources Manager
Because of the changes in the TE program, staff limited its discussion to projects
1) that have "on the shelf' plans, 2) that were cited either in the Downtown
Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy or other City planning documents, 3)
whose applications could be realistically completed by staff in a competitive manner,
and 4) projects that had no ROW issues
Based on those parameters, staff recommended that 1) no State project be submitted,
and 2) a project along the Trail from Rennick to Ironwood be submitted as a local
project.
Page 4 of 6
State Protects
Staff first reviewed the City's 2010 State application—the enhancement of the
intersection of SR 88 and Old West Highway That intersection is scheduled to be
improved by ADOT to address safety issues. At this time, it is not known exactly what
will be done to the intersection It was thought that it would be more appropriate to wait
and submit this project during the 2013 funding cycle.
Similarly, the Superstition/SR 88 roundabout that has previously been discussed is also
in the design phase at ADOT to address safety issues. Again, not knowing what will
come of ADOT's plans, staff felt it more appropriate to wait and possibly submit for
beautification enhancement funds at a later date after safety measures are
implemented
Lastly, staff looked at the rest area at the east entrance to the City to see if it was a
viable project. It was not deemed so because 1) staff would not have the time to
develop the technical plans/specifications that are needed for the grant application, and
2) there are ROW issues with that property.
Local Protects
Apache Trail from Rennick to Ironwood Enhancements could include landscaping and
grading in the median, retaining walls, landscaping along the City ROW, decorative
cross walk (optional), bases for the future installation of public art. curb, and gutter The
basic designs that were used on the Trail further east would serve as the "on the shelf'
designs This portion of the Trail (aka transition zone) was selected because it is the
priority section listed in the DRIS. Public Works and Parks staff felt that the technical
aspects of this project (e.g. budget, specifications) could be provided in the time
available. Further, the group viewed this as phase one for future TE applications. Based
on the City's proven track record with the freeway exit ramps, ADOT may be inclined to
fund a number of phases of this project in order to complete median enhancements
extending the entire length of Apache Trail to Meridian Road (this was recommended in
the DRIS as a unifying feature for downtown).
Other portions of the Trail were not selected for submission because they could be
impacted by the findings of a future Planning Assistance Rural Areas study of the Trail.
Because other sections have structural issues, it was felt that it was risky to propose
work on other sections of the Trail
Further work on North Apache Trail ("NAT") was discussed NAT was not selected
because the group felt that it was too long to wait until 2016 to begin the next phase of
NAT enhancements CDBG and SSP applications will be submitted for phase two of
NAT. It did not seem logical at this time to submit an application for phase three of the
project
Other local projects from previous years were reviewed and deemed not viable because
of the shortened preparation time or other TE program requirements
Page 5 of 6
Submit No Applications
While this was not a recommendation of the group, the facilitator thought it important to
include it for Council consideration Because of budgetary constraints and unknowns, it
may be in the City's best interest not to submit any applications. Without diverting funds
from other critical needs, some group members believe that there are not enough
monies to maintain existing or future projects.
DISCUSSION
In its analysis of potential enhancement projects, staff considered 1) previous Council
decisions, 2) TE program requirements, 3) factors impacting potential projects, and 4)
staff resources Given those factors, staff believes that its recommendations are in the
City's best interest
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council supports the recommendations of
the staff
ACTION REQUIRED
1 Review and discussion of staff recommendations
2 Direction to staff to begin the preparation of the grant application for the
enhancement project on the Apache Trail.
