Interests & Experiences
What do you believe the key responsibility of board, commission or committee members to: a)
the city council, b) the citizens of Apache Junction, c) other board, commission or committee
members?
To the City Council, a board or commission member has the responsibility to research, listen to all parties
(city staff, developers, and citizens) and make a recommendation to the Council based on facts and what
would be in the best interest of our city To the Citizens, a board or commission member has the responsibility
to represent the citizens as to how the majority would like to see the city grow and develop and what would be
in the best interest of all members of the community To Other Board and Commission Members, a board or
commission member has the responsibility to come to all meetings prepared to discuss the items on the
agenda. As a board or commission member I should have prepared, in advance of the meeting, by reading
the agenda and reviewed all documentation associated with an item. To speak to P&D staff as necessary to
obtain answers and clarification; to drive to locations and make physical site checks as necessary; and to do
research as necessary to be prepared to ask questions of staff, developers and hold discussions with other
board and commission members so that a recommendation, based on fact, can be made for recommending
approval or disapproval to the City Council
Please state the reasons why you feel you are qualified to serve on a board, commission or
committee:
I have close to 20 years of experience sitting on numerous boards and commissions (previously listed)with
the State of Arizona, the County of Pinal, the City of Apache Junction, and other non-profit service
organizations. My peers have voted for me to sit as Chair on many of the boards and commissions on which I
serve. And because I love my community and wish to see it grow in a positive fashion that welcomes and
invites others to come visit and move to our community.
Please state why you would like to be appointed to a city board, commission or committee:
I would like to be re-appointed to both the Planning & Zoning Commission and to the Parks & Recreation
Commission to serve at least three more years I am very proud of the work that has been accomplished and
the future endeavors that may be happening on the boards and commission on which I now sit I wish to see

MEMORANDUM TO. The Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
MEMORANDUM THROUGH Bryant Powell, City Manager
MEMORANDUM FROM Janine Solley, Economic Development Administrator
SUBJECT Request for Qualifications ("RFQ")—Operation of a
Local Visitor Information Center Staff Recommendation
The City is seeking a consultant to provide a service to current and prospective residents
and visitors whereby individuals looking for information about the Apache Junction area
could have access to free information and resources through a clearly identified center
On April 15, 2015, an Invitation for Request for Qualifications for the Operation of a Local
Visitor Information Center was released The City received two submittals from interested
service providers — the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center and
the Superstition Mountains Regional Business Alliance. At the June 15, 2015 Work
Session, staff brought forth a recommendation to contract with the Apache Junction
Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center At the July 21, 2015 City Council Meeting, the
City Council opted to reject all bids Staff was directed to release a new RFQ for services
with some modifications, including soliciting services for a one-year term, as opposed to the
three-year term suggested in the initial RFQ
On August 19, 2015, a second Invitation for Request for Qualification for the Operation of a
Local Visitor Information Center was released The City received two submittals from
interested service providers — the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors
Center and the Superstition Mountains Regional Business Alliance
A review committee (comprised of six City staff members) reviewed, scored, convened,
discussed, and is respectfully making a recommendation to Council
To get to this recommendation, each member of the review committee conducted an
independent review and independently scored each submittal based on the scoring criteria
outlined in the RFQ The review committee then met to discuss the scores and proposals
Based on the independent and group review
• Six of six members awarded their highest scores on the proposal to the Apache
Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center
• Out of a possible 100 points, the average score received for
o Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center = 88 33
o Superstition Mountains Regional Business Alliance = 65 83
While both submittals had strengths, the committee unanimously found the Apache Junction
Chamber of Commerce had a strong competitive advantage with the following
• The venue, its visibility, and track record functioning as a visitor center (as required
and reported by the Arizona Office of Tourism (AOT))
• An existing and experienced volunteer base to adequately staff the center during the
required hours of operation, and a knowledge base of employees with experience in
running a visitors center
• Variety of existing marketing tools (area tourism video, brochures, website, AOT
designation as the Local Visitor Information Center hence promotion on
www.visitaz.com), existing partnerships with regional area attractions, promotional
partnership and exposure through Visit Mesa, and distribution of marketing materials
through the Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport
• Utilization of online local business referral tools (ReferenceUSA and Google) that
can be easily accessed by center staff, and volunteers trained to refer all visitors to
local businesses of Apache Junction (with referrals being made outside of the area if
the product or service is not offered in Apache Junction to ensure a positive visitor
center experience)
• Existing partnerships with tourism based entities/attractions that positively promote
the area
The Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center submittal did identify one
exception to the template Professional Services Agreement relating to auto insurance
requirements since the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center does
not own vehicles, but rather utilize their personal vehicles Staff has no concerns over the
exception noted.
Also of note. city staff was informed on September 18, 2015 that one of the staff members
listed in the RFQ submittal for the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors
Center, Darcie Stammen, Office Manager, is no longer with the organization
The RFQ calls for the consultant to sign a Professional Services Agreement with the city to
provide visitor center services
Staff respectfully recommends
• The Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center be awarded the
bid for the Operation of a Local Visitor Information Center
• The contract be effective through June 30, 2016 with payment not to exceed
$41,000
• The contract be approved on Council's October 20, 2015 Consent Agenda

Discussion on city council Code of Conduct
Attachments.
City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 1 Printed on 9/29/2015
City Council Code of Conduct
Section One - Moving Forward
What happened in the past, needs to stay in the past. From today on, I agree to
move forward with my policy partners for the good of the community's future.
Section Two - Communications
I am dedicated to two-way communication with the formal leader of the group, and
with the other members In pursuing this goal, I will communicate frequently, and I
will focus on generating high-quality communication
Section Three - Understanding
I will develop a personal understanding of my partners' individual long-range
agenda:
• If I want to know something my partners know I'll ask them.
• If I have a position on an issue, I'll let my policy partners know what it is.
• If I have a position on an issue and I change my mind, I'll let everyone know as
soon as is reasonably possible.
Section Four - Consequences
Before speaking or acting, I will check my assumptions I will determine what
collateral effect my words or actions might have on my working relationships with
my policy partners and on the community.
Section Five - Leadership
Because the leader of the group has the formal responsibility for assuring frequent,
high quality communication, I will use the leader as a sounding board to test ideas
and discuss any difficulties I might encounter.
Section Six - Expectations of Others
In return for my commitment to this Code of Teamwork and Cooperation, I expect
the leader and the other members of the policy team to reciprocate as follows.
1. If you have concerns that involve me, I expect a call as soon as possible.
Likewise, if you have concerns about other members, you need to call them
2. Keep any public comments you make focused on issues and not toward other
members of the policy team.
3 If you are approached by the press for comment regarding one of your policy
partners, refer them to that member of the team.
4. Don't let me be surprised!!! If you know something that will have an affect on
me or on issues I have an interest in, let me know.
5. Don't passively accept being misquoted If a comment that isn't accurate is
attributed to you, then you have the responsibility of actively trying to correct it.
6 Don't say anything negative about a policy partner behind his or her back.
7. Respect each other's personal and physical space.
Section Seven Policy Team Expectations of Staff Team
The Policy Team expects the Staff Team to:
• Return telephone calls and contacts from councilmembers (or the Council staff)
as soon as possible that day, but under any circumstances within 24 hours. Final
solutions and follow-up will depend upon the situation - and agreed upon
delivery times
• Give emergencies noted by the Council immediate attention. Show the same
priority and responsiveness to the Council staff as they would the
councilmembers themselves.
• Meet agreed deadlines for deliverables.
Section Eight - Staff Team Expectations of Policy Team
The Staff Team expects the Policy Team to•
• Deal with management-level staff on constituent services.
• Be clear on their expectations for delivery time and the deliverable
• Work with staff to reach an agreement on what gets done (and when).
• Give issues the appropriate priority, and not over prioritize issues and needs.
• Recognize that staff has other demands, including demands from other
councilmembers, and that there are few true "emergencies"
• Treat staff as professionals and with respect and follow the "Golden Rule "
Section Nine - Commitment to Code
What we do today will affect tomorrow's interpersonal effectiveness! We will work
diligently to make our interactions and relationships positive
