Councilmember Waldron commented Bryant' s presentation shows it does not take a lot for businesses to make their place look nice. It would be nice if the businesses would take pride in their places and make them look good. It does not take much. A coat of paint, a little clean up and it looks good. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake briefed the council on the proposal of naturalizing Old West Highway. Councilmember Serdy asked how many miles they are talking about. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he is not sure of the total mileage but it is 14 acres . They are talking from Idaho to Goldfield, which would be three miles . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 12 OF 25 There was general discussion with the consensus being it would be about three miles . Councilmember Serdy commented he knows the state, along their sides and median, mixes in some flowers . He asked if this would be more flower-rich then. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they can have custom blend mixes . They can look at the mix they put in there which would include some native flowers . It would give them some of that initial color, particularly in the first year or two. Councilmember Serdy commented he believes the tourists would want to see the bloom in the early spring and April when everything else is blooming. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they would see that. He showed them a picture taken right after the rain. The grasses and that were pretty green. Understand in July that stuff will look pretty brown, but they need to leave it alone . They cannot go out there and plow it all down again and have the bare dirt. Councilmember Serdy commented it is the median so there will not be any distressed vehicles that will pull into there. They will be pulling off to the right so their catalytic converters will not be lighting it on fire. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they would still have to do the litter control but not the weed control . Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated they had challenged staff to look for ways to be innovative and create cost savings . This was an idea presented to our group that focuses on the downtown internally. Nick had presented it. This is an idea he wanted to bring to the council and the public. They do not have to necessarily make a decision but they can do that. If they get enough head nodding they can start this process . He will tell you the first three years are the part he is worried about. Before they get to the mid-point REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 13 OF 25 where there are trees, it will be brown and there will be pressure on the council and staff to do something about fixing it. He does not know if it is okay for them to say if they wanted to go this route . They have to stick to the process of naturalization if that is the will of the council . They are bringing the idea forward tonight to let them know it is something that has come up in a discussion group and was brainstormed tonight. Councilmember Waldron commented he liked the idea but he thinks they should put up some interpretive signs so people know what is going on there. Early on you might see a lot of people drive back and forth across the median. It is a short cut. If they are going to do this, they might want to put up signs that it is going back to a natural process . It will take some time and then people will understand. Councilmember Rizzi commented she feels just the opposite . She feels it kind of takes that area and excludes it from the downtown. She was hoping that at some point they could extend the artwork and get some things going out in that end of town as well . To her, it almost excludes that area from being part of the downtown. She did not find it nearly as attractive, even with the green growth. Councilmember Serdy asked her if they could let that go until they have the funds to do it. It would be easy to reclaim this and landscape it later. In the meantime, it would be better than bare dirt. They would just keep it in mind, on the back burner, that they are going to do that later. Councilmember Waldron commented plus they are still working the artwork towards Meridian. That is the first priority. Vice Mayor Barker commented that is the downtown. Councilmember Rizzi stated but even cacti going in. Personally she does not like it. She thinks it looks messy. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 14 OF 25 Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated that leads us to the next part of his discussion. They can leave this there and maybe come back for direction to staff later. They can continue to work on this . They just wanted to bring it forward for discussion at this point. Councilmember Wilson commented one person' s weeds is another person' s flowers . Vice Mayor Barker and Councilmember Rizzi agreed. There was general discussion on the equipment failure during the meeting at this time. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake briefed the council on the possibilities for the focal point. Mayor Insalaco asked how long it takes to change out the flowers . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated it takes a solid 30 to 45 days . Mayor Insalaco commented that is to change them out. Parks Superintendent Nick Black stated to change them out. Mayor Insalaco commented that would be twice a year. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is correct. He continued with his briefing. Councilmember Evans asked if the labor costs were based on using our court helpers or just parks crews . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is using the city' s parks people. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 15 OF 25 Councilmember Evans commented in the past, before that program was implemented, it was all done by just parks people . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is correct. Councilmember Evans asked how much work are they relieving and helping parks with at this point. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake asked if she meant the court workers . Councilmember Evans commented that is correct. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated it is significant. A lot of it is being done on the median work. Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated in addition to some of the parks work they also do other things, like wash all our vehicles . They do that on Tuesdays . If they notice there is a significant amount of shopping carts around they collect them all and take them to the local businesses . They also maintain our facilities, helping parks and recreation and doing other odds and ends . This is an idea he had not thought about. They have the capacity. They have a part-time person in addition to Rick Sensibaugh, so depending on the week and the time, the judge could have significant numbers do different projects around the community. Councilmember Evans commented they would then have help with the labor part of it now but we did not back then when it was color. Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated the city did not have it before. Councilmember Evans commented a lot of the custom home sites that she is at, there is nothing prettier than the desert brittlebush when it is in bloom. She REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 16 OF 25 understands the fact that it looks like it is dead part of the year. She has seen so many people trim them way back and plant natural plants that rotate themselves in and out naturally with color so that whenever the brittlebush comes back in bloom is when the other plants are going out of bloom. She understands the continuity of it. Until he showed them that picture, she never thought about how it was all in a line from the focal point itself. One physically does not look at it from 500 feet off. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated most people do not walk on the plaza part. They are driving by in their cars . Mayor Insalaco commented you do not see it. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they do not get the connection. Councilmember Evans commented she thinks since they are trying to make a statement there, the friendliest, most colorful, warm, fuzzy, grab your attention as you drive by; it looks like it cost us nothing. That is the best way she can think about it. Yes, it is yellow, but it has no appeal . Vice Mayor Barker agreed. She does not want to insult his artist, his inner artist. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he planted flowers, too. Vice Mayor Barker commented that some peoples' texture is other peoples' yuck. Just like naturalization is wonderful to some folks and to other folks it is weeds . She understands what he was pointing out and she understands that cost-wise keeping the cactus is cheap. And the cactus at this point look kind of cheap. The texture to her is ruined because they are kind of half here and half there. Some are this high and some are that high; it just seems haphazard. That is just her eye which is a lot different than his . She really likes the idea he came up with on the possibility of REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 17 OF 25 having some kind of flowers in two of the spokes that would kind of brighten it up. There are some types of flowers Gail was bringing up that are pretty common in this area that pop up at various times of the year. Desert poppies and that kind of thing that reseed themselves . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they do but that becomes a very complex process . Those plants are not all blooming at the same time . They come and go out. The plants that die out can look awful when they are not blooming. Vice Mayor Barker commented that is true. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated the brittlebush is one example of that. They can look deader than a doornail and look like fire hazards sometimes in the middle of summer. He asked if they want to leave that there and have some other stuff in there that will dilute it down because of the plant that is in its dormancy. That is the problem with a mixture . That is why he was talking about a single, bold, mass planting that is much more powerful than trying to mix these things together. They can do that on the median. They have done that on the median. They have the bougainvillea out there and lantana. Vice Mayor Barker commented they are too tall . The size of the plants is what they are looking for. Something low. Mayor Insalaco commented they want to keep them low. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they have to stay low and they need things that really make a statement. If they water it down by mixing stuff together he thinks they will be disappointed. Councilmember Wilson commented he remembers why they went to this . We were trying to go to the community and show they were cutting back on expenses . We are now talking about going back to the community and tasking them with the possibility of contributing more to the city with REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 18 OF 25 the increase in the sales tax. His personal opinion is this is something he would not want to see done because he thinks it is telling the community the wrong message. We are willing to spend more money but we are wanting more money from them to do other things . Councilmember Serdy asked if it would damage the barrel cacti to knock off the old blooms . He knows they fall off of saguaros . It looks like a lot of them are just hanging on. He asked if it would change some of them or not. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated nobody wants to do it. It is deadly. Those spines are still there . They would literally have to pick those things out individually by hand. Mayor Insalaco commented he was told that is the best plastic bag catcher in Apache Junction. Councilmember Serdy commented that the blooms do come off like a saguaro. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he thinks it would be much more cost effective to just pull the big one out because they transplant very easily. Councilmember Serdy commented the big ones are worth about $40 . He asked if the city could do commerce with the nurseries by trading a $40 plant for a $10 wholesale plant. City Attorney Joel Stern asked if he said trade . Councilmember Serdy commented it has to be to their advantage . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they would have to see if there is a market for it. He is not sure there is . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 19 OF 25 City Attorney Joel Stern stated they cannot gift it. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated you do not see mature golden barrels in nurseries . They are always juveniles . Councilmember Serdy commented he has seen them for up to $60 or so. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated for the big ones like that. Councilmember Serdy commented for the big ones like that. They can trade a big one for a little one and they have good color again. Getting past that, he would hate to see it with nothing for two months out of the year. Once the flowers got going they were awesome, but they ripped them out and they had nothing. One of those times is in the spring when we still have people here . So everyone knows, Gail and he both sit on the focal point and tourism committee. They are asking for suggestions . They know the group has no authority to do anything but they would like to not do any moves on this until we can get some input. They have invited some nurseries and the Gold Canyon Garden Club to come and see what they think. Then they can ask Nick if any of the ideas are viable. Maybe some different eyes can see some different things, too. He would like to not make a decision for another month or so. He does not think they are going to do it that quickly anyway, but he wanted to let them know it is being worked on. Another thing he really likes and they are doing it for domestic violence, is the focal point and tourism committee did an experiment with lights down there. Now they have the purple ones up. He thinks it looks awesome . They have talked to Bryant about changing colors throughout the year. But it adds some color because the white lights are kind of bleaching it out. He thinks the javelina could use some subtle lights because it is sometimes invisible. He asked what everyone thinks of the purple lights up there now. Mayor Insalaco commented the purples lights are gorgeous . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 20 OF 25 Councilmember Rizzi commented she likes it. Councilmember Waldron commented they have been talking about a visual effect during the day, not at night when the lights are on. People like the color. Councilmember Serdy commented but at night you have night lights, too. Mayor Insalaco commented more winter visitors are asking him why they got rid of the flowers . Councilmember Waldron commented that is the comment he has heard. Mayor Insalaco commented they ask why we got rid of the flowers . He knows in Arizona we have a lot of cactus . Why we got rid of the flowers is all we hear. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is great. They can put them in. It is just a matter of the dollars . Councilmember Rizzi commented Jeff mentioned trading them with nurseries . She asked if they could sell the bigger cacti and use that for some cost savings to get the small ones . She asked if that would be helpful . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he does not know. He is not in the business of selling plants . Councilmember Rizzi commented she does not know. She asked if it is something they could do. City Attorney Joel Stern stated legally they can sell them. Councilmember Rizzi commented maybe people would be interested in a piece of downtown history and buy a cactus . She does not know, it is just a thought. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 21 OF 25 Another thing is she does not know that much about the different varieties of cactus we have . She asked if there would be a happy medium by maybe making some of the spokes a different type of cactus . Mayor Insalaco commented dangerous . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they have basically limited themselves to the hedgehog cactus in order to stay low. Councilmember Rizzi asked if they are attractive. Mayor Insalaco and Vice Mayor Barker commented no. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but he does not find them attractive . Mayor Insalaco commented they are ugly. Councilmember Rizzi commented one of the things she hears is the cost savings of water. We live in a desert. We were just talking about having an issue with water. She hears people say all the time that they like the cacti . It was a smart choice. Maybe they are not as pretty but we are saving on water. It is also a cost savings in not having to change the flowers out. Like he said, it is in the eye of the beholder. Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated tonight' s report was to present these ideas and thoughts, do exactly as we have done tonight and get some additional . This is not for direction to staff. They just wanted to get some comments and receive input. It is on the work plan this year to get direction to staff on this . He hoped they would consider these different ideas and thoughts . At some point in the near term they will come back with this . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 22 OF 25 Mayor Insalaco thanked Nick Blake . Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell thanked Nick and Janine, who went to the businesses to get these photos . Mayor Insalaco closed the discussion and moved on to the next item.

It would be nice if the businesses would take pride in their places and make them look good. It does not take much. A coat of paint, a little clean up and it looks good. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake briefed the council on the proposal of naturalizing Old West Highway. Councilmember Serdy asked how many miles they are talking about . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he is not sure of the total mileage but it is 14 acres . They are talking from Idaho to Goldfield, which would be three miles . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 12 OF 25 There was general discussion with the consensus being it would be about three miles . Councilmember Serdy commented he knows the state, along their sides and median, mixes in some flowers . He asked if this would be more flower-rich then. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they can have custom blend mixes . They can look at the mix they put in there which would include some native flowers. It would give them some of that initial color, particularly in the first year or two. Councilmember Serdy commented he believes the tourists would want to see the bloom in the early spring and April when everything else is blooming. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they would see that . He showed them a picture taken right after the rain. The grasses and that were pretty green. Understand in July that stuff will look pretty brown, but they need to leave it alone. They cannot go out there and plow it ail down again and have the bare dirt . Councilmember Serdy commented it is the median so there will not be any distressed vehicles that will pull into there. They will be pulling off to the right so their catalytic converters will not be lighting it on fire. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they would still have to do the litter control but not the weed control . Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated they had challenged staff to look for ways to be innovative and create cost savings . This was an idea presented to our group that focuses on the downtown internally. Nick had presented it . This is an idea he wanted to bring to the council and the public. They do not have to necessarily make a decision but thev can do that . If they get enough head nodding they can start this process . He will tell you the first three years are the part he is worried about . Before they get to the mid-point REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21 , 2014 PAGE 13 OF 25 where there are trees, it will be brown and there will be pressure on the council and staff to do something about fixing it. He does not know if it is okay for them to say if they wanted to go this route. They have to stick to the process of naturalization if that is the will of the council. They are bringing the idea forward tonight to let them know it is something that has come up in a discussion group and was brainstormed tonight. Councilmember Waldron commented he liked the idea but he thinks they should put up some interpretive signs so people know what is going on there. Early on you might see a lot of people drive back and forth across the median. It is a short cut. If they are going to do this, they might want to put up signs that it is going back to a natural process . It will take some time and then people will understand. Councilmember Rizzi commented she feels just the opposite. She feels it kind of takes that area and excludes it from the downtown. She was hoping that at some point they could extend the artwork and get some things going out _n that end of town as well . To her, it almost excludes that area from being part of the downtown . She did not find it nearly as attractive, ever_ with the green growth. Councilmember Serdy asked her if they could .let that go until they have the funds to do it. It would be easy to reclaim this and landscape it later . In the meantime, it would be better than bare dirt . They would just keep it in mind, on the back burner, that they are going to do that later. Councilmember Waldron commented plus they are still working the artwork towards Meridian. That is the first priority. Vice Mavor Barker commented that is the downtown. Councilmember Rizzi stated but even cacti going in. Personally she does not like it. She thinks it looks messy. REGULAR. MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 14 OF 25 Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated that leads us to the next part of his discussion. They can leave this there and maybe come back for direction to staff later. They can continue to work on this . They just wanted to bring it forward for discussion at this point . Councilmember Wilson commented one person' s weeds is another person' s flowers . Vice Mayor Barker and Councilmember Rizzi agreed. There was general discussion on the equipment failure during the meeting at this time. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake briefed the council on the possibilities for the focal point . Mayor Insalaco asked how long it takes to change out the flowers . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated it takes a solid 30 to 45 days. Mayor Insalaco commented that is to change them out . Parks Superintendent Nick Black stated to change them out . Mayor Insalaco commented that would be twice a year. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is correct . He continued with his briefing. Councilmember Evans asked if the labor costs were based on using our court helpers or just parks crews . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is using the city' s parks people . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21 , 2014 PAGE 15 OF 25 Councilmember Evans commented in the past, before that program was implemented, it was all done by just parks people. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is correct . Councilmember Evans asked how much work are they relieving and helping parks with at this point. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake asked if she meant the court workers. Councilmember Evans commented that is correct . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated it is significant . A lot of it is being done on the median work. Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated in addition to some of the parks work they also do other things, like wash all our vehicles . They do that on Tuesdays . If they notice there is a significant amount of shopping carts around they collect them all and take them to the local businesses . They also maintain our facilities, helping parks and recreation and doing other odds and ends . This is an idea he ha.d not thought about . They have the capacity. They have a part-time person in addition to Rick Sensibaugh, so depending on the week and the time, the judge could have significant numbers do different projects around the community. Councilmember Evans commented they would then have help with the labor part of it now but we did not back then when it was color . Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated the city did net have it before. Councilmember Evans commented a .lot of the custom home sites that she is at, there is nothing prettier than the desert brittlebush when it is in bloom. She REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21 , 2014 PAGE 16 OF 25 understands the fact that it look-s like it is dead part of the year. She has seen so many people trim them way back and plant natural plants that rotate themselves in and out naturally with color so that whenever the brittlebush comes back in bloom is when the other plants are going out of bloom. She understands the continuity of it . Until he showed them that picture, she newer thought about how it was all in a line from the focal point itself. One physically does not look at it from 500 feet off. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated most people do not walk on the plaza part . They are driving by in the,r cars . Mayor Insalaco commented you do not see it . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they do not get the connection. Councilmember Evans commented she thinks since they are trying to make a statement there, the friendliest, most colorful, warm, fuzzy, grab your attention as you drive by; _t looks like it cost us nothing. That is the best way she can think a:Dout it. Yes, it is yellcw, but it has no appeal . Vice Mayor Barker agreed. She does not want to insult his artist, his inner artist . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he planted flowers, too. Vice Mayor Barker commented that some peoples' texture is other peoples' yuck. Just like naturalization is wonderful to some folks and to other folks it is weeds . She understands what he was pointing out and she understands that cost-wise keeping the cactus is cheap. And the cactus at this point look kind of cheap. The texture to her iS ruined because they are kind of half here and half there. Some are this high and some are that high. it just seems haphazard. That is just her eye which is a lot different than his . She really likes the idea he came up with on the possibility of REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 17 OF 25 having some kind of flowers in two of the spokes that would kind of brighten it up. There are some types of flowers Gail was bringing up that are pretty common in this area that pop up at various times of the year. Desert poppies and that kind of thing that reseed themselves . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they do but that becomes a very complex process . Those plants are not all blooming at the same time . They come and go out . The plants that die out can look awful when they are not blooming. Vice Mayor Barker commented that is true. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated the brittlebush is one example of that . They can look deader than a doornail and look like fire hazards sometimes in the middle of summer. He asked if they want to leave that there and have some other stuff in there that will dilute it down because of the plant that is in its dormancy. That is the problem with a mixture. That is why he was talking about a single, bold, mass planting that is much more powerful than trying to mix these things together. They can do that on the median. They have done that on the median. They have the bougainvillea out there and lantana . Vice Mayor Barker commented they are too tall . The size of the plants is what they are looking for. Something low. Mayor Insalaco commented they want to keep them low. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they have to stay low and they need things that really make a statement . If they water it down by mixing stuff together he thinks they will be disappointed. Councilmember Wilson commented he remembers why they went to this . We were trying to go to the community and show they were cutting back on expenses . We are now talking about going back to the community and tasking them with the possibility of contributing more to the city with REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 18 OF 25 the increase in the sales tax. His personal opinion is this is something he would not want to see done because he thinks it is telling the community the wrong message. We are willing to spend more money but we are wanting more money from them to do other things . Councilmember Serdy asked if it would damage the barrel cacti to knock off the old blooms . He knows they fall off of saguaros . It looks like a lot of them are just hanging on. He asked if it would change some of them or not . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated nobody wants to do it . It is deadly. Those spines are still there . They would literally have to pick those things out individually by hand. Mayor Insalaco commented he was told that is the best plastic bag catcher in Apache Junction . Councilmember Serdy commented that the blooms do come off like a saguaro. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated he thinks it would be much more cost effective to just pull the big one out because they transplant very easily. Councilmember Serdy commented the big ones are worth about $40 . He asked if the city could do commerce with the nurseries by trading a $40 plant for a $10 wholesale plant. City Attorney Joel Stern asked if he said trade. Councilmember Serdy commented it has to be to their advantage . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they would have to see if there is a market for it . He is not sure there is . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 19 OF 25 City Attorney Joel Stern stated they cannot gift it . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated you do not see mature golden barrels in nurseries . They are always juveniles . Councilmember Serdy commented he has seen them for up to $60 or so. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated for the big ones like that. Councilmember Serd.y commented for the big ones like that . They can trade a big one for a little one and they have good color again. Getting past that, he would hate to see it with nothing for two months out of the year. Once the flowers got going they were awesome, but they ripped them out and they had nothing. One of those times is in the spring when we still have people here . So everyone knows, Gail and he both sit on the focal point and tourism committee. They are asking for suggestions . They know the group has no authority to do anything but they would like to not do any moves on this until we can get some input . They have invited some nurseries and the Gold Canyon Garden Club to come and see what they think. Then they can ask Nick if any of the ideas are viable. Maybe some different eyes can see some different things, toc . He would like to not make a decision for another month or so . He does not think they are going to do it that quickly anyway, but he wanted to let them know it is being worked on. Another thing he really likes and they are doing it for domestic violence, is the focal point and tourism committee did an experiment with lights down there . Now they have the purple ones up. He thinks it looks awesome. They have talked to Bryant about changing colors throughout the year. But it adds some color because the white lights are kind of bleaching it out . He thinks the javelina could use some subtle lights because it is sometimes invisible . He asked what everyone thinks of the purple lights up there now. Mayor Insalaco commented the purples lights are gorgeous . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 20 OF 25 Councilmember Rizzi commented she likes it. Councilmember Waldron commented they have been talking about a visual effect during the day, not at night when the lights are on. People like the color. Councilmember Serdy commented but at night you have night lights, too. Mayor Insalaco commented more winter visitors are asking him why they got rid of the flowers . Councilmember Waldron commented that is the comment he has heard. Mayor Insalaco commented they ask why we got rid of the flowers . He knows in Arizona we have a lot of cactus . Why we got rid of the flowers is all we hear. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated that is great . They can put them in. It is just a matter of the dollars . Councilmember Rizzi commented Jeff mentioned trading them with nurseries . She asked if they could sell the bigger cacti and use that for some cost savings to get the small ones . She asked if that would be helpful . Parks Superintendent. Nick Blake stated he does not know. He is not in the business of selling plants . Councilmember Rizzi commented she does not know. She asked if it is something they could do. City Attorney Joel Stern stated legally they can sell them. Councilmember Rizzi commented maybe people would be interested in a piece of downtown history and buy a cactus . She does not know, it is just a thought . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21 , 2014 PAGE 21 OF 25 Another thing is she does not know that much about the different varieties of cactus we have. She asked if there would be a happy medium by maybe making some of the spokes a different type of cactus . Mayor Insalaco commented dangerous . Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated they have basically limited themselves to the hedgehog cactus in order to stay low. Councilmember Rizzi asked if they are attractive. Mayor Insalaco and Vice Mayor Barker commented no. Parks Superintendent Nick Blake stated beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but he does not find them attractive. Mayor Insalaco commented they are ugly. Councilmember Rizzi commented one of the things she hears is the cost savings of water. We live in a desert . We were just talking about having an issue with water. She hears people say all the time that they like the cacti. It was a smart choice . Maybe they are not as pretty but we are saving on water . It is also a cost sayings in not having to change the flowers out. Like he said, it is in the eye of the beholder. Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell stated. tonight' s report was to present these ideas and thoughts, do exactly as we have done tonight and get some additional . This is not for direction to staff. They just wanted to get seine comments and receive input. It is on the work plan_ this year to get direction to staff on this. He hoped they would consider these different ideas and thoughts . At some point in the near term they will come back with this . REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 21, 2014 PAGE 22 OF 25 Mayor Insalaco thanked Nick Blake. Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell thanked Nick and Janine, who went to the businesses to get these photos . Mayor Insalaco closed the discussion and moved on to the next item.

Section 28-8521, et seq. 7.11 Sue and be sued. 7.12 Exercise incidental powers as may be necessary to the exercise of the powers prescribed in this Section and under A.R.S. Sections 28-8527 and 28-8529, and to implement the responsibilities, goals, and purpose of the Airport Authority. Section 8 Voting Rights. 8.1 Each member of the Board of Directors is entitled to one vote, and a motion will carry if supported by a majority of the quorum unless a Member requests that a weighted vote be taken. If a weighted vote is requested, then the following terms and conditions apply. 8.1.1 Subject to Section 8.1.2, each member of the Board of Directors is entitled to cast a weighted vote equal to that Member's cumulative appropriations to the Airport Authority as a percentage of the total appropriations made by all current Members to the Airport Authority since 1993 when the initial Intergovernmental Agreement Group was formed. For purposes of this Section 8.1.1, and in accordance with Section IV(4)(d)of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (effective March 21, 2011) among the Airport Authority, City of Mesa, and Able Engineering and Components, Inc., Mesa's cumulative contributions to the Airport Authority include the City Rent (as defined in the MOU) paid by Mesa to the Airport Authority to service the debt on the Airport Authority's Series 2012 Bond Issue in the amount of$19,220,000 (to finance the FAA-certified maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility subleased to others). 8.1.2 The percentage calculated under Section 8.1.1 is then adjusted so that no Member's vote will exceed 50% of the total weighted votes. If any Member's percentage as calculated exceeds 50%, then the excess percentage (over 50%) is allocated proportionally to the remaining Members so that the weighted vote of all Members combined equals 100% (or 100 votes). Under this formula, the weighted votes for all Members as of July 1, 2014 are: Member Votes City of Mesa 50 City of Phoenix 21 Gila River Indian Community 13 Town of Gilbert 12 Town of Queen Creek 3 Apache Junction 1 8.1.3 All matters on which a weighted vote is taken must be decided by a simple majority of all Members' weighted votes, not just the weighted votes represented at the meeting. 5 8.2 Beginning in Fiscal Year 2015-16, the number of weighted votes of each Member will be adjusted annually before the start of each Fiscal Year based on the Airport Authority's adopted operating budget for the Fiscal Year. 8.3 If a Member withdraws from the Airport Authority, the weighted votes of remaining Members must be recalculated at the beginning of the next fiscal year. In recalculating the weighted votes, all appropriations of the withdrawing Member will be disregarded. 8.4 No Member may invoke weighted voting for matters related to modifications to the approved airport layout plan and airport master plan, or for adjustments to the percentage contributions or the amounts of each Member contribution to the annual budget. Section 9 Operating Budget. 9.1 The fiscal year of the Airport Authority shall run from July 1 to June 30. 9.2 The Board of Directors shall, by April 1 of each fiscal year, recommend to the Members of the Airport Authority an annual operating budget for the Airport Authority for the next fiscal year and shall state the amounts of each Member contribution or proportion of the Airport Authority's annual operating budget to be provided by each Member. At least thirty (30) days before the annual budget is recommended to the Members of the Airport Authority by the Board of Directors, the Board may consider adjustments to the amounts of each Member contribution or percentage contributions of each Member. Adjustments to the amounts of each Member contribution or percentage contributions of any Member must be approved by a unanimous vote. 9.3 By June 15 of each year, the Board of Directors shall, if necessary due to the addition or withdrawal of Members, have decided by a unanimous vote on the amounts of each Member contribution or a reallocation of the percentage contributions among the Members or have assigned each Member its pro rata increase or decrease in contribution. 9.4 The governing bodies of the Airport Authority's Members, including any new Members admitted pursuant to Section 11 shall approve and adopt the operating budget recommended by the Board, as may be revised pursuant to Section 9.3, by June 30 of each year or withdraw from the Airport Authority pursuant to Section 10. 9.5 The Board of Directors may from time to time recommend to the Members of the Airport Authority amendments to the approved and adopted operating budget. The governing bodies of the Members shall approve amendments to the operating budget or withdraw from the Airport Authority pursuant to Section 10. 9.6 The Airport Authority shall adopt and periodically amend a reuse and development plan and a capital improvements plan. Expenditures for or by the Airport Authority shall be consistent with these plans. In addition, expenditures by the Airport Authority shall be limited to those items that directly relate to or benefit the operation and development of the Airport Facilities and the Airport Authority. 6 Section 10 Withdrawal From Airport Authority. 10.1.

Proposal Description This is an annexation proposal for approximately 50 acres of vacant Arizona State Trust land at the southeast corner area of the W. Elliot Avenue and S. Meridian Drive alignments. The City, back when it was working with Desert Communities and the State Land Department realized a need for the annexation during our collaborative Planning efforts on the Portalis master planned community, primarily for the purpose of lining up the Elliot alignment east of Meridian with the Elliot alignment west of Meridian. The Elliot section lines are off-set because of a survey correction for the curvature of the earth. The Arizona State Land Department owns the property, but on November 12 , 2009, the State Lands Selection Board approved the city' s request to annex the property. Although Desert Communities/Rhodes Homes is no longer part of the planning effort, there is still a need to annex the subject site for the future alignment of Elliot Road. The 50-acre subject site is currently in Pinal County. The property is currently zoned General Rural (GR) by Pinal County. Upon successful annexation into the City, the subject site will be assigned the city' s General Rural Low Density Single Family Detached Residential (RS-GR) zoning district, which is very similar to Pinal County' s GR district. Later on, as areas south of Baseline are developed and plans are implemented, the appropriate land use designation and zoning district will be assigned to the property, as this will be an important east- west connection point between Mesa and Apache Junction. AN-1-14 (SLD/ELLIOT AVE ANNEX) Page 2 of 2 Case Background This annexation proposes to bring into the City a little over 50 acres of vacant land lying in Pinal County jurisdiction. The City limits are contiguous and adjacent to the property on its north side. The configuration of the property satisfies the length, width and contiguency requirements under State law for a proposed annexation area. As part of the annexation process required by ARS (Arizona Revised Statutes) § 9-471, on October 7, 2014 , the City filed a blank (unsigned) annexation petition with the Pinal County Recorder' s Office. ARS requires that the City Council hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed annexation within the last 10 days of a 30-day period subsequent to the recording of the blank petition, but prior to collecting signatures. The Council may NOT adopt an ordinance to annex land at this public hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to receive public comment and discuss the proposed annexation. The City may begin collecting petition signatures after November 6, 2014 . State Statutes then give the City a time frame of one year, after the 30-day waiting period, to collect the necessary number of signatures of consent . After the signatures have been collected and recorded, Planning Staff will prepare an annexation ordinance to be adopted by the City Council at a separate public hearing. Impact Assessment The City will become responsible for services including police protection, zoning and code enforcement, and the maintenance of roadways . The site will eventually also receive service from the Sewer District, Arizona Water Company, AJ Water Company and the Fire District . The property is located in an area which has a General Plan designation of "Master Planned Community (Mixed Use; 4 to 8 Dwelling Units per Acre) " . Planning Division Recommendation Public input and discussion only. All records pertaining to this annexation are available on file in the Planning Division Office at 300 E. Superstition Blvd. Please refer to case file AN-1-14 when inquiring about this case.

Sharkey, P.E. Water/Wastewater Engineering, PLLC The purpose of this request is to support the application for an IUP for the subject site The City of Apache Junction and surrounding areas in Pinal County Arizona contain many unsewered properties that use septic systems for disposal of household sewage wastes. These systems are comprised of a tank and a disposal methodology that is usually a pit or a line of porous pipes. In the normal course of operation, the tanks and/or the pits can accumulate solids that must be removed to allow continued proper operation. There are a number of businesses commonly known as sludge pumpers that serve the community in providing the solids removal needs. These companies are regulated under rules of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Once collected, the solids are disposed of at regulated facilities. The Superstition Mountain Community Facilities District (SMCFD) treatment plants in Pinal County, as well as private facilities in Maricopa County are currently used for the disposal of collected solids. The applicant for this IUP, JRC Solids Managment, desires to construct a regulated facility that will provide additional capacity for disposal of collected solids. Such a facility is required to allow continued service to the waste solids industry in Northern Pinal County. Once in operation, this facility will provide the ability for homeowners and businesses to maintain operation of their on-site wastewater systems in an economical manner. Without this capacity, SMCFD will have limited capacity and continue to raise disposal costs, or haulers will have to travel 40 miles to commercial facilities in Phoenix. Either of these options will add to the cost of disposal in Pinal County. On the basis of the above, this project will be of benefit to Pinal County businesses and residents by allowing continued cost effective and complying operation of on-site wastewater systems. Proposed Land Use The site will be a commercial facility serving a limited number of industrial users. There will be no consumer based activity on the site. It is anticipated that 8-10 septic tankers of 3,000-5,000 gallon capacity will access the site each day to off load their septage. In addition, 1-2 dump trucks will leave each day to dispose of the dried solids processed at the site. The treated material will be taken to an approved landfill for disposal. The treatment process will separate the bulk of the water from the solids. While the solids will be taken to approved landfills for final disposition, the removed water will be disposed of on-site by evaporation and reuse. Two evaporation ponds will be constructed under ADEQ approval. There will be space available for a third pond, if required in the future. The ponds will be asphalt covered to prevent any liquid from entering the ground beneath them. There will be aerators in the ponds which will both improve the oxygen content of the water, thereby prohibiting odors, as well as allowing faster evaporation. Approximately 50% of the site will be landscaped to improve the visual quality of the facility and also to allow use of the water for irrigation purposes. It is possible for small amounts of solids to settle in the ponds. Access ramps will allow removal of accumulated solids on a regular basis. In the summer, there is a smaller demand on storage and one of the ponds can be left idle so the bottom will be dried. However, there will be very little solids accumulation, so this may not be an annual event. Conformance to Adopted Comprehensive Plan The Pinal County Adopted Comprehensive Plan, as amended on Nov. 19, 2012 does not specifically address wastewater management. However, it does address Sustainability, Moderate Low Density Development and Water Quality. This facility will contribute to all of these development goals that are included in the Plan. Effective treatment of solids generated by on-site treatment methods will assure sustainability of the environmental resources of the County. Moderate low density development is only possible with the continued ability to maintain on-site systems. This project will enable that continuance. Water Quality can only be assured by having approved treatment systems for generated on-site waste. Again, this facility will meet that need.

Sharkey, P.E. June 4, 2014 Introduction Based on the comments received and subsequent discussions with the Pinal County Planning Department, it is important to restate the intent of this facility. In keeping with the Pinal County Adopted Comprehensive Plan, this project will insure the ability to serve existing homes and mobile home parks as well as future development in low density areas to with effective on site wastewater disposal. The existing facilities that accept the materials generated by proper maintenance of onsite systems are raising fees or prohibiting acceptance of those wastes. This facility will only treat wastes collected from domestic septic systems. It is not a wastewater treatment facility; it will only dewater the generated solids so that they can be safely disposed of at regional landfills. No commercial or industrial wastes will be treated at this facility. Response to Individual Items 1.a. CAAG position Based on the volume of material being treated, a 208 plan amendment is required. That amendment will be submitted to CAAG prior to the July meeting date. 1 .b ADEQ Aquifer Protection Permit A copy of the APP permit application is attached. This permit will be completed once the UP is approved. The ADEQ approval process is designed to insure that the proposed facility does not violate any of the State's requirements for protecting the environment.. While aimed primarily at protecting the groundwater and surface waters, the process also considers generated odors and other nuisances. The equipment and processes described in the UP will be specified in the APP permit process subject to ADEQ approval. ADEQ also has a process that requires financial assurance by the applicant to operate and eventually close the facility. The APP process will assure the health and welfare of the surrounding environment. 2a. Pond Design A calculation sheet is included that shows how the water generated from the solids dewatering process will be used for on-site landscape irrigation with the remainder being evaporated. The final design of the planting, irrigation and aeration equipment will be part of the APP approval process. 2b. Noise, Odor and Vector Control The noise and odor generating process of solids handling will occur within the building to be constructed on site. The new building will dampen noise, contain any flies or insects that may be attracted to the process (usually not an issue with this process), and an odor control system will provide treatment of the air within the building. The doors to the process area will only be opened and closed two times a day to remove the generated solids. The incoming materials will be offloaded outside of the building using airtight fittings from the truck to the process area. The ponds will be aerated and should not cause odor or vector issues. However, if required, a biological treatment material (description attached) could be used. The site fencing has cut wire to deter access by local wildlife. There may be some waterfowl attracted to the ponds. This would enhance the site's environmental value. 3. Similar Plants As stated in the introduction, this is an innovative business venture and to our knowledge, the first of its kind facility the State. It is designed to only accept domestic septage generated by local onsite treatment systems. There are local wastewater treatment plants, such as the one serving Florence that do accept similar wastes in addition to the locally generated sewerage. There are some facilities that primarily accept commercial and industrial wastes that may take domestic septage. However, the plants that we are aware of have numerous issues associated with the commercial nature of the materials. We would suggest a visit to the Florence facility so that the Board can better understand the issue. 4. Jobs and Miscellaneous It is anticipated that this facility will add 2-1/2 jobs to the community, a plant operator, an operations manager (1/2) and a solids driver. While there is common ownership involved in this proposed facility and the existing Cooper Sewer and Drain facility, these are two separate business and both will continue to function at their respective locations. The typo on Page 1 of the application has been changed and is attached. Site Plan The site plan has been revised and is submitted as an attachment. Any change to the East Side fence would cause problems with the location of the existing onsite septic system that will be used in the new facility. Also, relocation of the fence towards the west would change the existing alignment along the street and tend to be more of a hazard. We would ask that the fence be allowed to stay in its existing position.

It will be located in Apache Junction, Arizona near the intersection of Desert View and Guadalupe Roads. The JRC Solids Facility will ONLY accept Domestic Septage for the sole purpose of maintaining the highest grade of Sewage Sludge/Biosolids in order to provide the highest number of landfill/biosolid disposal options keeping disposal costs at a minimum. The facility will NOT accept commercial septage, industrial septage, or domestic septage combined with commercial or industrial septage. FACILITY OVERVIEW The JRC Solids Facility's process will be designed as part of the Aquifer Protection Permit Application process to be approved by ADEQ. While a detailed design is not available, components will most likely include a Loading Station, Polymer Addition, Mechanical Water Separation, Solids Output Handling all of which will be housed in a 50' by 75' by 20' tall building. Solids generated from the process will be hauled off to a regulated Biosolids Facility/Landfill. Separated water from the process will flow into one of the two 100' by 200' Evaporation Ponds to evaporate and for use as on site irrigation. There may be "polishing" of that water trough filtration prior to storage in the ponds. Refer to Appendix A Figure 1 for a Site Plan and Figure 2 for a Process Flow Diagram of the JRC Solids Facility. LOADING STATION The loading station will be a lockable unit, containing holding tanks (10,000 gallon total), a screen, and a mixer. The holding tanks will be designed to receive and temporarily store the domestic septage prior to processsing. There will probably be two holding tanks to allow for holding tank maintenance without interrupting operation of the facility. The loading station screen will be a stainless steel unit designed to catch any non-organic waste before entering the process. The mixer will mix incoming domestic septage to ensure that it is uniform for optimal water separation. See Appendix B Figure 3 for a sample holding tank, Figure 4 for an example cut sheet of the loading station screen, and Figure 5 for an example cut sheet of the mixer. POLYMER MIXING Prior to processing in the Water Separation unit, polymer will be added and mixed. Polymer is added because it serves as a catalyst for the separation of water from solids. See Appendix C Figure 6 for an example of a static polymer mixer with a polymer injection port. MECHANICAL WATER SEPARATION Following polymer mixing, the sludge is ready for mechanical water separation. The JRC Solids facility is considering options for mechanical water separation. One option being considered is a 3 Rotary Fan Press, which is a totally enclosed device where conditioned sludge is fed into the enclosed slow moving (<1 rpm) dewatering channel between two heavy duty parallel stainless steel filter plates. The feed sludge is subject to a pressure drop where the liquids pass through the filter openings and the solids advance within the channel. The sludge continues to dewater as the feed pump supplies more sludge, slowly moving the solids through the channels toward the outlet of the press forming a cake. Dry cake is formed against the restrictor gate as the solids forming the cake fill the space between the slow moving parallel filter screens. The frictional forces of the continuously rotating filters advances the cake through the restrictor gate. Another option being considered is a Belt Filter Press, which is a device that separates water and solids by applying mechanical pressure to the chemically conditioned sludge, which is sandwiched between two (2) tensioned belts, by passing those belts through a serpentine of decreasing diameter rolls. See Appendix D Figure 7 for additional information on a Rotary Fan Press and Figure 8 for additional information on a Belt Filter Press. SOLIDS OUTPUT HANDLING The solids produced by Mechanical Water Separation will be routed to the Solids Output Handling using a Sludge Conveyor Belt that will transport solids into a storage bin for hauling offsite to a regulated Biosolids Facility/Landfill. See Appendix E Figure 9 for an example of a Sludge Conveyor belt. EVAPORATION POND/SITE IRRIGATION The water produced by Mechanical Water Separation will be routed to one of two 200' by 100' evaporation ponds. Water in these ponds will also be used for irrigation of onsite landscape using an irrigation pump house. Depending on the requirements encountered during the Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) process, a Sand Filter may be incorporated into the process. The purpose of the sand filter is for polishing to remove additional solids from the water before entering the evaporation ponds. See Appendix E Figure 10 for an example of a Sand Filter. Refer to Appendix A Figure 1 for the Site Plan which illustrates the Evaporation Ponds relative to the process facilities. 4 APPENDIX A - FACILITY OVERVIEW SUPPORT FIGURE I — Site Plan FIGURE 2 — Process Flow Diagram 5 FIGURE 1 ICI-2 EX.

I. I The KOMAX "Ni-Pass" Mixer is designed to effectively mix chemical solution into main flows prior to dewatering - - process. Polymer savings in excess of 25%can be achieved. Features of this unit include: 1:MIXING ACTION:Each mixing element set in combination sweeps approximately two thirds of the circumference of the pipe and directs the flow to the opposite side,providing very strong "wall-to- wall"radial transfer. The standard four element set includes three inter-set cavities where intensive contacting occurs due to strong momentum reversal and flow impingement. 2.NON-FOULING DESIGN:This mixer is designed to be extremely resistant to fouling or clogging. The edges of the element sets are smoothly contoured with a large radius. The intersections of element ends with the wall are all oblique angles, eliminating "corners"that can trap solid or fibrous materials and began material accumulation.Momentum reversal and flow impingement provide a 'self-cleaning,,environment. The "Hi-Pass"design will readily pass individual solid items with a nominal diameter up to 112 that of the mixer. 3: ENGINEERED INJECTOR: The injector manifold is designed to present the diluted chemical solution to the main flow for optimum efficiency.Better dispersion of the injected solution through the mixing elements is achieved. 4: VERY LOW PRESSURE DROP:Pressure drop in the Komax Hi-Pass mixer is roughly 113 that of our Industry- leading Triple Action mixer.

The KOMAX "Hi-Pass" Mixer is designed to effectively mix chemical solution into main flows prior to dewatering process. Polymer savings in excess of 25%can be achieved. Features of this unit include: 1:MIXING ACTION:Each mixing element set in combination sweeps approximately two thirds of the circumference of the pipe and directs the flow to the opposite side,providing very strong"wall-to- wall"radial transfer.The standard four element set includes three inter-set cavities where intensive contacting occurs due to strong momentum reversal and flow impingement. 2:NON-FOULING DESIGN:This mixer is designed to be extremely resistant to fouling or dogging.The edges of the element sets are smoothly contoured with a large radius.The intersections of element ends with the wall are all oblique angles,eliminating"corners'that can trap solid or fibrous materials and began material accumulation.Momentum reversal and flow impingement provide a"self cleaning"environment.The "Hi Pass"design will readily pass individual solid items with a nominal diameter up to 112 that of the mixer. 3:ENGINEERED INJECTOR:The injector manifold is designed to present the diluted chemical solution to the main flow for optimum efficiency.Better dispersion of the injected solution through the mixing elements is achieved. 4:VERY LOW PRESSURE DROP.Pressure drop in the Komax Hi Passmixer is roughly 113 that of out Industry- leading Triple Action mixer.This makes it an excellent choice for gravity fed systems or where available head is limited. The Komax"Hi Pass"Flash Mixer will reduce chemical consumption and costs and will produce dryer take solids in dewarering operations.11 is particularly suited for use in high fouling duly or pressure sensitive applications.

Background The District was formed in 1992 by the Apache Junction City Council pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Title 48, Chapter 4, Article 6. The District was formed as a public, independent, nonprofit corporation to operate and maintain a regional wastewater collection and treatment system. As is described in the 1994 Central Arizona Government's (formerly 3655780.1 10/14/14 RYLEYCARLOCK Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission & A P p t. E W I3 i T E October 15, 2014 nttomeys Page 2 "CAAG") 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (as amended, the "208 Plan"), the District was formed to address increasing nitrate pollution levels in groundwater in the Apache Junction area caused by a proliferation of septic systems. Septic systems release marginally treated wastewater directly to the soil. Septage (solids and some liquid) is removed from septic tanks from time-to-time, and is hauled in trucks to facilities like the District's for father processing and treatment. 'File District currently operates a wastewater treatment plant at 5661 South Ironwood Drive in Apache Junction that is rated and permitted to treat 2.14 million gallons per day (MGD). The District's treatment facility is located approximately one mile east of the proposed Jl2C Solids Handling Facility, The District has sufficient capacity for the current volumes of waste processed; flows for the 12 month period from September 2013, to August 2014, averaged 1.37 MGD. As is explained in more detail in the current 208 Plan, the District will expand the treatment capacity of the existing plant at the current site as needed to meet increasing demands, up to 16.0 MGD. See Attachment A, Abstract and portions of the District's 2011 208 Plan Amendment approved by CAG. The District has accepted trucked domestic septage from haulers in the region since 1996. The District charges $0.080 per gallon, with a $90 minimum charge for septage disposal. See Attachment B, District's current fee schedule. Based on research conducted by the District, these fees are comparable to other facilities in the area that accept septage from haulers. For example, Liquid Environmental Solutions charges $0.0750 per gallon, with an environmental fee that is 5.5% of the disposal amount, and a 3% energy fee on the disposal amount. Because septage is a concentrated waste,t the District must manage septage intake in order to not unduly upset the chemical and biological balances that provide effective wastewater and sludge treatment within the plant. Although it is possible that the District may, in the future, need to temporarily defer an intake of septage to maintain a balanced treatment environment, District staff does not have record of ever having done so. Based upon this experience, the District does not expect to delay disposal absent exceptional circumstances. Given the District's operational history and its planned facility expansions that will only increase the District's ability to treat domestic septage as it is presented by haulers, we do not believe there is a septage capacity concern with the District's facilities as has been asserted in the application materials. When discharged directly to a collection system, septage is subject to industrial pretreatment requirements. The District has installed a pretreatment process that consists of a passive grit chamber, bar screen and five aerated holding tanks to pre-treat trucked septage prior to its entry into the District's treatment facility. See Attachment A,p. 17, RYLEYCARLOCK Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission & A P P L. E W H I T E October 15, 2014 a"01deys Page 3 The District is required to hold and comply with a number of very stringent environmental permits, including an Aquifer Protection Permit ("APP") and an Arizona Pollution Discharge Elimination System ("AZPDES") permit. These permits mandate that the District treat all waste delivered so as to yield a high quality (13+) reclaimed water that meets drinking water quality standards and is suitable for a number of reuse applications. In the next facility expansion, expected to occur in 10 to 12 years, the District will improve the treatment process to produce A+ reclaimed water that can be re-used for a wider range of applications with very few restrictions. The District's extensive wastewater treatment process includes influent screening, grit removal, extended aeration with denitrification, secondary clarification, chlorination and de-chlorination. The District is required to monitor the quality of its effluent for a number of potential pollutants and meet stringent water quality limits. The District's reclaimed water is sent to on-site groundwater recharge basins to recharge the groundwater aquifer near the plant. Any excess reclaimed water can be discharged to a nearby wash pursuant to the AZPDES permit. The District is also required to monitor the groundwater quality and levels through monitoring wells located near the recharge basins. The District's solids (sludge) are treated in anaerobic lagoons, dried in sludge drying beds, and are further composted on site to achieve ADEQ's designation of Class A "Exceptional Quality" biosolids compost that can be sold or given away. Currently, the District provides its biosolids to the City of Apache Junction for use by the Parks and Recreation Department. Industrial Use Permit Application The District defers to the application materials regarding the applicant's current plans for the proposed solids handling facility. Generally, the District understands that domestic septage would be transported in a truck from domestic septic systems to the site. At the facility, the septage would be screened and pumped into holding tanks. Polymer will be added to assist with separating the solids from wastewater, and then the solids will be separated from the wastewater through a mechanical process. Solids will then be further dewatered and placed on a conveyor belt to a storage bin. Solids will then be hauled to a landfill authorized to accept them. The wastewater will be sent to two aerated evaporation ponds where the water will either evaporate or be used for on-site irrigation of landscaping. Commission's Review of Industrial Use Permit Application We understand from review of the Pinal County ordinances that the Commission will consider a variety of factors in its review of the permit application. Information regarding the factors of particular importance to the District is addressed below: RYLEYCARLOCK Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission & A P P L E W I I I T EE October 15, 2014 A(to rneys Page 4 1. Comprehensive Plan/208 Plan Consistency The County's Comprehensive Plan does not appear to address septage disposal facilities. The Comprehensive Plan's Environmental chapter and discussion of planning for high growth areas indicates generally that the County plans for sustainability and reuse. The County has a more specific plan for wastes with the potential to pollute water through a regional planning process. The Central Arizona Government's 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (as amended, the "208 Plan") is a plan for addressing potential water pollution sources in the Gila and Pinal County areas. Pinal County is a Member Agency of CAG. CAG's Environmental Planning Committee will address planning for the facility at issue in the application. Although we understand that some of CAG's Environmental Planning Committee members have discussed the proposed facility, as far as we are aware today, neither the committee nor ADEQ have officially determined whether a 208 Plan Amendment is required prior to the ADEQ permitting process to address the waste treatment and disposal proposed at the new facility. The current 208 Plan addresses wastewater treatment and septage disposal in the area of the proposed facility. The 1994 version of the 208 Plan generally recommended that Pinal County take planning responsibility for wastewater treatment needs in unincorporated areas and "encourage[ ] regionalization of wastewater treatment in areas where there are needs adjacent to but outside the boundaries of incorporated municipalities or sanitary districts." 208 Plan (1994), section 5.9.4(2), (3). More recently, CAG amended the 208 Plan consistent with this regionalization goal by approving an expanded service area for the District that includes the County parcel at issue in the present application, and where the District is to own and operate all of the wastewater collection and treatment facilities. See Attachment A, 208 Plan Amendment, section 2.1.1 and map. The District's 208 Plan Amendment further indicates a plan for the District to continue accepting septage as tine major septage receiving facility in the area, and describes the process of treatment and biosolids handling in detail. See Attachment A, 208 Plan Amendment, pp. 14, 17-18, 27. The proposed facility's location within the District's service area and the proposed plan for treating and disposing of wastewater and sludge within the service area is inconsistent with the current 208 Plan for such wastes, so a 208 Plan Amendment should be required. The County should not grant zoning authorization for a facility that is inconsistent with the current 208 Plan. z Il is clear that the 208 Plan applies to the proposed facility,both because the facility is a"sewage treatment facility"under ADEQ's rules(see, for example,R18-5-303,R18-9-101.37,41,R18-9-A901.37, and 40 C.F.R. Part 503),and because the facility will be disposing of"residual wastes"under 40 CFR 130.6(c)(4). ADEQ's rules require a 208 Plan Amendment for a new sewage treatment facility.

Public Need for Facility The District's facility is already available to the public within one mile of the proposed facility, so there is no public need for a second disposal facility approximately one mile away. The District has sufficient capacity, and will continue to add capacity in advance of public need. The ongoing addition of new households to the District's collection system expands the District's ability to assimilate higher volumes of septage. Further, the District charges a reasonable fee for the treatment services provided by the District, and we have not seen any evidence to indicate the current District fee is preventing the public from properly disposing of septage, or even that the disposal fees and costs to the public of septage disposal will be meaningfully reduced by the addition of the proposed facility. The District's treatment processes provide greater groundwater quality protection and sustainable reuse opportunities for the waste than the proposed facility will provide. The District's plant produces high quality reclaimed water that can be recharged to improve the quality and quantity of the local groundwater aquifer or can be reused elsewhere for beneficial purposes. The District also produces Exceptional Quality biosolids compost that can be re- used for beneficial purposes. In contrast, the applicant proposes a largely-physical treatment process that will require dewatered sludge to be further hauled in a truck to a landfill, and plans for treatment and disposal of septage wastewater indicate it will either be evaporated into the air or allowed to infiltrate into the ground without comparable treatment to the District's treatment process. We ask that the Commission consider the information in this letter in making its decision. There is not a public need to locate a solids handling facility at the proposed site located only approximately one mile from the District's treatment plant, and the treatment processes planned would be step backward in meeting the goals of the regional 208 Plan.

The Future Planning Area resides within the limits of the City of Apache Junction General Plan. The expansion of the District's Service Area ensures that there will be timely and orderly growth of regional wastewater collection and treatment services and the protection of groundwater resources within the City of Apache Junction. The expanded District Service Area matches, with a few exceptions, the current (2009) outer boundary of the City of Apache Junction. See Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix A. Figure 1 illustrates the original Service Area shown in yellow, the current expansion which adds the blue shaded area, and the Future Planning Area south of Elliot Road that is bordered by a dashed green line. Figure 2 shows the original and expanded Service Area and the Future Planning Area at a larger scale to better illustrate the boundaries. To achieve congruence with the City's southern limit of influence as shown in its General Plan, the District's Future Planning Area for potential service area expansion extends two miles southward from the City's current southern corporate boundary at the Elliot Road alignment, down to the Ray Road alignment. The City of Apache Junction is preparing a Designated Management Agency (DMA) application that will be congruent with the District's expanded Service Area. In 2006 the District completed two master plans, one for the collection system and one for the expansion of the existing Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). These plans provide information regarding anticipated flows for the expanded service and planning areas based on existing and anticipated land use designations. The Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) currently has a development plan under preparation for a master planned community known as Portalis. This is a 7,700 acre parcel of former and current State trust land south of Baseline Avenue and extending down to the southern boundary of the City at the Elliot Road alignment. The Portalis master plan is being funded by Desert Communities, the purchaser of the first 1,011 acre parcel that was released for sale by the ASLD in 2006. The Portalis Master Plan contains engineering studies and master plans for both sanitary sewer and reclaimed water reuse/recharge. The Superstition Mountains 1 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 components of the Portalis master plan supplement the two District master plans that have already been completed, and will provide guidance for development of the sewer collection system and the recharge/reuse system in the Portalis area. Much of the expanded Service Area and all of the Future Planning Area is currently State trust land and for the most part devoid of development. The estimate of future build-out sewage flows for both the expanded Service and Future Planning Areas have been based on ADEQ guidelines, engineer estimates, current and anticipated land use zoning and densities, and average expectations for areas without land use zoning and densities. The following table summarizes the anticipated flows for the expanded Service Area at full build-out: Table 1.0 Summary of Sewage Flow Sewage Flow MGD Existing Flow 1.39 Existing WWTF Capacity 2.14 Existing Collection System at Full Build-out 7.8 Expanded Service Area Flows Sewage Generation at Full Build-out 9.9 north of Baseline Avenue Sewage Generation at Full Build-out (south of Baseline Avenue, north of Elliot Road, and 8.2 west of Barkley Road Expanded Service Area Total Sewage Generation at 18.1 Full Build-out Future Planning Area Flows Future Planning Area (south of Elliot Road and north of Ray Road) Potential Sewage Generation at Full 11.6 Build-out Total Estimated Sewage Generation for Expanded 29.7 Service Area + Future Planning Area The District's existing WRF uses an extended aeration, activated sludge treatment process with nitrogen removal, and is rated at 2.14 million gallons per day (MGD). Sludge residual is processed into a Class A, EQ biosolids compost. The master plan for the WRF envisions it expanding initially to 4.0 MGD, and then in additional 4.0 MGD increments to reach a maximum average daily flow capacity of 16.0 MGD at final build- out. It is expected that at final build-out the expanded WRF at the Ironwood Road site will be able to satisfy all of the sewage treatment requirements for the expanded Service Area. A second water reclamation facility will be needed if the District ever expands its Service Area south of Elliot Road.. Development within the boundaries of the Future Planning Area between Elliot Road and Ray Road could generate at full build-out an additional sewage flow of 11.6 MGD. This is almost 75% as large as the planned 16.0 MGD build- out capacity of the District's existing WRF. The existing WRF site would simply not be Superstition Mountains 2 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 large enough to accommodate both the additional sewer flow and the reclaimed water disposal requirements. The existing WRF is located on the east side of Ironwood Drive at its intersection with Guadalupe Road. The District owns a 60-acre parcel of land that is currently surrounded by the CAP canal on the north side, and State trust land on the other three sides. The site is uniquely situated for protection from encroachment by incompatible residential and non-residential development. The initial expansion of the existing WRF will be to raise its capacity to 4.0 MGD and will encompass the conversion of the existing treatment process to the deep-ditch oxidation ditch technology. Reclaimed water quality will also increase from its current B+ to the A+ standard. The initial expansion to 4.0 MGD will insure that there will be sufficient plant capacity to treat the sewage generated from the 1,011 acre parcel being developed by Desert Communities south of Baseline Avenue. Additional expansions are planned in 4.0 MGD increments up to the build-out maximum of 16.0 MGD. There is always the potential that actual unit flows or population densities will prove to be higher than the master plan estimates and thus require a change to a more space conserving treatment process. However, the likelihood does not appear to be very great given that Unit Daily Design Flows required per State rules for WRF design and master planning purposes are substantially higher than what the District has historically actually received. This disparity between estimate and actual should only get further out of sync in the future as greater water conservation efforts are achieved in the field. Reclaimed water produced from the expanded WRF will be treated to the Class A+ standard to provide full flexibility for disposal through aquifer recharge, direct reuse or, in emergency situations to surface discharge. It is recognized by the District that as the Portalis community is developed the reclaimed water will be needed to help achieve the 100-year assured water supply requirement for the area. The District is working cooperatively with the City and the Portalis master planners to achieve a cohesive water reuse/recharge plan that will prove to be of long term benefit to both the citizens of Apache Junction and the water resources of the State. The District has an excellent track record of compliance with its surface and subsurface discharge permits and is in an excellent position to provide the sanitary sewer services for the expanded Service Area at reasonable rates, fees and charges to its customers. 1.2 HISTORY AND OPERATION OF THE DISTRICT In July 1992, the Apache Junction City Council formed the Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District No. 1 to develop, operate, and maintain a regional system for the collection, transport, and treatment of sewage from the commercial, residential, industrial, and institutional properties existing within the boundaries of the District. Its formation by the City was partially in response to pressure by ADEQ to protect both public health and the groundwater aquifer from contamination caused by the area's total reliance on septic tank systems and small package treatment plants. At the time it was reported that Apache Junction was the largest city in the United States without a Superstition Mountains 3 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 community wide sewage collection and treatment system. The majority of residents were using on-site septic tank systems that provide only primary treatment and that are known to contribute to nitrate contamination of the groundwater aquifer. In many cases the small treatment plants that did exist were not maintained properly and one system (Sierra Entrada) was so poorly run that CBS reporter Mike Wallace devoted a 20-minute segment about its problems on the nationally televised 60-Minutes program. When voters twice rebuffed the City's attempt to pass bonds for construction of a community system, the City decided to move forward by forming an independent community facilities district. After obtaining the petitions of property owners within the City that totaled more than 640 acres of land, the City Council formed the District pursuant to Title 48, Chapter 4, Article 6 of the Arizona Revised Statutes as a separate governmental entity from the City. The original District Service Area was initially wholly located in the City of Apache Junction and to this day is almost completely located within the Apache Junction administration boundaries or its planning boundaries. (see Figures 2 and 4 in Appendix A). Initially, a 74 mile collection system was constructed that served approximately two-thirds of the existing City at that time. The rural northeast area of the City was included in the original Service Area but has not been provided with service because its rural and hilly character makes it too uneconomical to do so. The original District Service Area consisted of approximately 17 square miles. The construction of the District's sanitary sewer collection system and water reclamation facility proved to be very beneficial to the City and allowed it to grow. At its initial start up, the District's 74 miles of collection system served slightly more than a 1,000 customers. By 2009 the sewer system had been expanded to 108 miles and the customer base exceeded 6,000. On a flow basis the District in 2009 serves about 22,000 people. In addition to the 108 miles of sewer lines, the District owns and operates a 9.0 MGD pump station and a 2.14 MGD water reclamation facility. The budget for the 2009/2010 fiscal year is $5.8 million. To clarify a point that is sometimes confused, the District is not a department within the City, nor a private system, but a separate public entity generally vested with all the rights and powers of community facilities districts under the Arizona Constitution and Statutes. The District and City finances, staff and operations are wholly separate from each other. Likewise, the City is not liable for the District's debts, and the District is not liable for the City's. The District has its own elections, with its electors consisting of a different group of persons than can vote in City elections. Generally, the owners of property in the District (regardless of whether they reside in the District or even the City) are electors of the District. At the District's formation the City made the choice of appointing an independent Board of Directors to govern the District rather than having the City Council constitute the Board. The independent 5-member Board is made up of local citizens that serve staggered six-year terms. The City, by statute, retains certain specific rights with respect to the District: (i) the City Council appoints Board members; and (ii) the City must Superstition Mountains 4 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 approve any contracts for sewer service between the District and customers located outside the boundaries of the District. As a governmental entity, the District's Board passes resolutions that establish the policies and procedures of the District. Those resolutions have substantially the same purpose as the ordinances of a city, county, or other local governmental entity. Provisions relating to use of the wastewater system and user fees are contained in the District's Policies and Procedures. The District operates without the use of tax revenues but instead depends entirely on revenues generated by its rates, fees, service charges and earned interest. The operating budget and the rates, fees and service charges of the District are passed annually by a resolution of the Board after a public hearing. Persons within the District's Service Area are required to connect to the District's sewage collection and treatment system unless the District has made a written determination that it will not provide service. The District has grown steadily since its January, 1996 startup as all new non-residential and residential subdivisions have had to connect and as a result the District's sewer system has grown from its original 74 miles to a system that is currently at 108 miles in length. Prior to the 1996 startup of the District's original 74 mile system connection was voluntary for those persons with existing non-residential or residential units and properly functioning on-site systems. The District's current policy regarding persons that the District determines can be served by its sewer system but that have a properly functioning on-site system in use may continue using their existing on-site system as long as there are not any changes to the property and the on-site system remains in continuous use without repair or alteration. Thus, a person must connect to the District and abandon their on-site system whenever an existing non-residential or residential dwelling unit on the property is modified, expanded or replaced; whenever there is placement or new construction of a non- residential or residential dwelling unit on the property; or the existing on-site system serving the property needs repairs, needs to be expanded, needs to be altered in any manner or needs to be replaced. Persons with on-site systems that have been disconnected or otherwise taken out of use may not reconnect or otherwise reactivate them at a later date. Instead connection must be made with District's system and the on-site system must be abandoned. Superstition Mountains 5 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 OVERVIEW 2.1.1 Facility Ownership and Requirement for Connection All of the wastewater collection and treatment facilities in the District's Service Area will be owned and operated by the Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District Number 1 unless specifically authorized otherwise in writing by the District. Persons within the District's Service Area are required to connect to the District's sewage collection system unless the District has made a written determination that it will not provide service. Persons that the District determines can be served by its sewer system but that have a properly functioning on-site system in use may stay on their existing on-site systems as long as there are not any changes to the property and the on-site system remains in continuous use without repair or alteration. A person must abandon an existing on-site treatment system and connect to the District's sewage treatment system whenever an existing non-residential or residential unit served by the on-site treatment system is modified, expanded or replaced on a property; or whenever there is new construction or placement of a non-residential or residential unit on the property. Further, a person must abandon an existing on-site treatment system and connect to the District's sewage treatment system whenever an existing on-site system either needs repairs, needs to be expanded, needs to be altered in any manner, needs to be replaced, or is disconnected from continuous use. 2.1.2 Type of Facility The District's Service Area has the following wastewater facilities: • Pump station for the pumping of sewage • Wastewater collection system for the conveyance of sewage • Water Reclamation Facility for the treatment of sewage Superstition Mountains 6 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 4.0 WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM 4.1 WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY (WRF) DESCRIPTION The existing water reclamation facility is located at the southeast corner of Ironwood Drive and Guadalupe Road in Apache Junction. It is rated at 2.14 MGD and uses an extended aeration, activated sludge process to reclaim water to B+ quality. Residual solids are processed into Class A, EQ biosolids compost. The District holds permits from ADEQ and ADWR that allow for disposal through aquifer recharge, direct reuse or by discharge to an ephemeral wash. The District owns the 60 acre WRF site and has applied to the Arizona State Land Department to purchase an additional 20 acres. An expanded 80 acre WRF site will be sufficient to satisfy the sewage treatment requirements of the expanded Service Area and a good portion of the disposal through aquifer recharge. The WRF uses primary treatment, enhanced secondary treatment, clarification and disinfection in its processing of the incoming wastewater. The residual solids of the activated sludge process are thickened, dewatered on polymer-assisted drying beds, and then composted using the windrow method. The majority of the reclaimed water produced is recharged into the aquifer via on-site recharge beds, with a minor amount discharged intermittently to an ephemeral wash. 4.1.1 Wastewater Accepted by the WRF The majority (80%) of the incoming wastewater is generated by residential users. That percentage is not expected to change through final build out of the expanded Service Area. The remaining 20% of the wastewater is generated by small business and public/institutional users. There are no industrial dischargers into the system at present. The District is cognizant that industrial dischargers could be added in the future and has a pre-treatment program in place for that purpose. Pre-treatment is already required for many existing non-residential users as well as multi-unit residential users with centralized on-site food service operations. The WRF has special facilities to process septage from commercial haulers. This flow currently averages about 17 thousand gallons per day. It is anticipated that the septage component of flow will stay the same or decrease in the future as more septic systems are tied into regional sewer collection and treatment systems. 4.2 SEWAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM 4.2.1 Existing Collection System The District currently has 108 miles of collection system with the majority of it constructed of PVC pipe with a minor portion of FRP. The system ranges from 6" to 36" Superstition Mountains 14 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 4.4.2 Septage Receiving Station The WRF is permitted through ADEQ to accept septage and it functions as the major septage receiving facility serving the east side of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Septage is delivered to the WRF by tanker truck. The septage receiving station consists of a passive grit chamber and five aerated holding tanks and several septage pumps. Each of the holding tanks has a capacity of approximately 5,000 gallons for a total storage capacity of 25,000 gallons. Two recessed impeller pumps send the septage from the holding tanks to the treatment process headworks. Each of the holding tanks is aerated by fine bubble diffusers. Septage is received during the day and aerated in the holding tanks for approximately 12 hours prior to being pumped into the headworks of the plant. Aeration of the septage over the 12 hour period reduces odors and more significantly, reduces the soluble biochemical oxygen demand of the septage to levels approaching that of raw sewage prior to entering the activated sludge treatment process. This ensures that septage does not negatively impact the activated sludge treatment process. 4.4.3 Headworks The influent wastewater flows through the WRF headworks that consist of a mechanical bar screen and a grit removal unit. The mechanical bar screen has a screen opening size of approximately 1/8`h inch to catch and remove any coarse debris from the influent. The screenings are sent through a wash compactor where the solids are dewatered and conveyed to a dumpster that is taken to a landfill. The grit removal system consists of two aerated grit settling basins, each with two sumps, where grit is allowed to settle out of the process flow. There are 4 recessed impeller pumps, one in each sump, that pump the grit slurry to a cyclone separator. The separator dewaters the grit and conveys it to a dumpster for removal to a landfill. 4.4.4 Secondary Treatment From the headworks, the wastewater influent is split between two aeration basins. The aeration basins are aerated by a Parkson Biolac air distribution system. The system consists of 8 parallel laterals per basin that float on the water surface, with each lateral fitted with 16 diffusers, each with 5 tubes. The diffusers hang from the surface lateral line and are placed about a foot from the bottom of the 10 foot deep basin. To comply with reclaimed water quality standards, the treatment process must remove total nitrogen to 10 mg/I or less and ammonia nitrogen to approximately 2 mg/I or less. It accomplishes this by converting all of the nitrogen to nitrate and then denitrifying the water and allowing the inert nitrogen gas to bubble out. In practice, the nitrification and denitrification process is controlled through on/off aeration of the air laterals. The secondary clarifiers are designed as internal clarifiers. The mixed liquor from the aeration basins flows through the bottom of a wall that divides the basin and the clarifier. The return activated sludge (RAS) is collected from the bottom of the clarifier and is Superstition Mountains 17 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 pumped by air-lift pumps back to the front of the aeration basin where it mixes with the raw sewage influent to begin the process all over again. 4.4.5 Disinfection The clarified effluent travels down to a chlorine contact basin where sodium hypochlorite is added for disinfection of the effluent. The hypochlorite is pumped from a storage tank and applied at an approximate dose of 5 parts per million. The chlorine contact basin serpentines the flow back and forth allowing the hypochlorite to have sufficient contact time to kill the microorganisms. Sodium thiosulfate is added at the end of the basin to de-chlorinate the effluent and complete the treatment process. 4.4.6 Effluent Reuse and Disposal Currently, the treated effluent meets the ADEQ B+ reclaimed water standards. The District holds an Aquifer Protection Permit from ADEQ that allows for groundwater recharge, surface discharge to an ephemeral wash and direct reuse of reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. It also has a Managed Underground Storage Facility permit from ADWR and surface water AZPDES permit from ADEQ for surface discharge. The District is currently recharging about 83% of its effluent with any remainder flow directed into an ephemeral wash. At present no reclaimed water is sent off-site for reuse. In the main, effluent is directed to 10 on-site rapid infiltration recharge basins. Each of the basins is also fitted with two vadose zone wells. Any residual surface discharge is intermittent from the facility and the flow rarely travels greater than '/< mile downstream from the current discharge point, staying within a man-made ditch and un-named ephemeral wash before soaking into the ground. 4.4.7 Residual Solids Processing Residual solids are thickened, dewatered and composted to create a Class A, Exceptional Quality (EQ) biosolids compost end product. Waste activated sludge (WAS) solids with an average density of 1% are initially sent to stabilization lagoons where they are allowed to gravity thicken. The thickened solids, averaging 2.5%, are pumped off to rapid rate polymer-assisted sand drying beds using the Deskins process. Adding polymer further thickens the solids to 7% - 9% as they enter the drying beds. Within one week the solids have partially dried and thickened to greater than 20%. They are then removed to the composting area where they are mixed with small portions of organic amendments such as grass clipping and wood chips and formed into windrows. The windrow composting method is used which requires that the solids attain 55 degrees centigrade for 15 consecutive days, with 5 turnings during the 15 day period. A tractor pulled Aeromaster mixer/aerator is used to turn the solids. The finished biosolids achieve Class A stabilization requirements for pathogens and meet the EQ requirements for heavy metals and contaminants. Total nitrogen content is typically about 1.5%. The safe and useful compost is then made available for use to the City and the public as an organic soil amendment. Superstition Mountains 1II 208 Plan Amendment Community Facilities District No. 1 impoundments but not for irrigation of school grounds, open access landscapes, or recreational impoundments. Water that meets the A+ standard is defined as water that has undergone secondary treatment, nitrogen removal, filtration and disinfection. It also has more restrictive levels for bacteria and turbidity than B+ water. The A+ water is also acceptable for use for irrigation of school grounds, residences and open access landscapes as well as for recreational impoundments. The master plan for the Portalis project provides guidance on the development of a reclaimed water distribution system to serve the area south of Baseline Avenue. The District has already anticipated that it will need to install a pump station and a reclaimed water storage reservoir at the WRF during its first expansion. The developers of the Portalis project will be responsible for funding the installation of the reclaimed water distribution system that will consume 20% of the reclaimed water generated from the Portalis area. 4.7 BIOSOLIDS Residual solids from the WRF treatment process are thickened, dewatered and composted to create a Class A, Exceptional Quality (EQ) biosolids compost end product. The District intends to continue processing its solids to the Class A, EQ standard through full build out of the WRF. Standards for biosolids are found in Arizona Administrative Code (AAC) R18-9 Article 10, Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System -- Disposal, Use, and Transportation of Biosolids. Part III of the District's AZPDES Permit (AZ0023931) contains the regulatory requirements for the management of the District's sludge/biosolids. Currently the District produces approximately 3.5 tons of dried solids daily. At full build out of the WRF, this will expand ten-fold to approximately 35 tons per day. Currently the solids are thickened and semi-dried using polymer-assisted drying beds before they are sent on to the composting process. At some point in the future, most likely during the Phase 11 expansion, this process will be changed to another technology. Currently the District uses the windrow composting method to achieve a Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP) Class A stabilization requirement and the Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR) standard requirement for Class A stabilization. As the amount of solids to be processed increases in the future the District intends to switch over to an aerated static pile method to meet the PFRP and VAR Class A requirement as it will greatly conserve both labor and the land area required for processing. The finished biosolids achieve Class A stabilization requirements for pathogens and meet the EQ requirements for heavy metals and contaminants. Total nitrogen content is typically about 1.5%. The safe and useful compost is then made available for use to the City and the public as an organic soil amendment. As the amount of compost produced by the WRF increases in the future, the District will be able to enter into sales agreements with end users that need a bulk source of this valuable soil amendment to help with soil reclamation projects or as an agricultural additive to increase productivity.

Sharkey, P.E. WaterMastewater Engineering, PLLC Narrative For Pinal County Industrial Use Permit Application (IUP) JRC Solids Management Facility Desert View and Guadalupe Roads Apache Junction, AZ April 23, 2014 Revised October 28, 2014 for City of Apache Junction Prepared By Murray E. Sharkey, P.E. Water/Wastewater Engineering, PLLC Why the proposed JRC Solids Reduction Facility benefits the City of Apache Junction — While the following narrative was written to support the application for an Industrial Use Permit from Pinal County, the facility described is also a benefit to the City of Apache Junction (AJ). AJ is the hub of Northeast Pinal County and Northwest Maricopa County. While there is a sewer system that serves the City, there are many properties within AJ and in nearby parts of Pinal and Maricopa County that are not connected to sewers. Many of those properties are occupied by people who shop, dine, and do business and contribute to the economy of AJ. With a single server for accepting the solids generated from treatment in on site wastewater treatment systems, the property owners are subject to cost increases and lack of availability of the receiving system. The JRC Solids Reduction Facility will provide an effective alternative to current facilities. This will allow those who use septic systems to continue to be a valuable part of the City of Apache Junction Community. The purpose of this request is to support the application for an IUP for the subject site The City of Apache Junction and surrounding areas in Pinal County Arizona contain many unsewered properties that use septic systems for disposal of household sewage wastes. These systems are comprised of a tank and a disposal methodology that is usually a pit or a line of porous pipes. In the normal course of operation, the tanks and/or the pits can accumulate solids that must be removed to allow continued proper operation. There are a number of businesses commonly known as sludge pumpers that serve the community in providing the solids removal needs. These companies are regulated under rules of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Once collected, the solids are disposed of at regulated facilities. The Superstition Mountain Community Facilities District (SMCFD) treatment plants in Pinal County, as well as private facilities in Maricopa County are currently used for the disposal of collected solids. The applicant for this IUP, JRC Solids Managment, desires to construct a regulated facility that will provide additional capacity for disposal of collected solids. Such a facility is required to allow continued service to the waste solids industry in Northern Pinal County. Once in operation, this facility will provide the ability for homeowners and businesses to maintain operation of their on-site wastewater systems in an economical manner. Without this capacity, SMCFD will have limited capacity and continue to raise disposal costs, or haulers will have to travel 40 miles to commercial facilities in Phoenix. Either of these options will add to the cost of disposal in Pinal County. On the basis of the above, this project will be of benefit to Pinal County businesses and residents by allowing continued cost effective and complying operation of on-site wastewater systems. Proposed Land Use The site will be a commercial facility serving a limited number of industrial users. There will be no consumer based activity on the site. It is anticipated that 8-10 septic tankers of 3,000-5,000 gallon capacity will access the site each day to off load their septage. In addition, 1-2 dump trucks will leave each day to dispose of the dried solids processed at the site. The treated material will be taken to an approved landfill for disposal. The treatment process will separate the bulk of the water from the solids. While the solids will be taken to approved landfills for final disposition, the removed water will be disposed of on-site by evaporation and reuse. Two evaporation ponds will be constructed under ADEQ approval. There will be space available for a third pond, if required in the future. The ponds will be asphalt covered to prevent any liquid from entering the ground beneath them. There will be aerators in the ponds which will both improve the oxygen content of the water, thereby prohibiting odors, as well as allowing faster evaporation. Approximately 50% of the site will be landscaped to improve the visual quality of the facility and also to allow use of the water for irrigation purposes. It is possible for small amounts of solids to settle in the ponds. Access ramps will allow removal of accumulated solids on a regular basis. In the summer, there is a smaller demand on storage and one of the ponds can be left idle so the bottom will be dried. However, there will be very little solids accumulation, so this may not be an annual event. Conformance to Adopted Comprehensive Plan The Pinal County Adopted Comprehensive Plan, as amended on Nov. 19, 2012 does not specifically address wastewater management. However, it does address Sustainability, Moderate Low Density Development and Water Quality. This facility will contribute to all of these development goals that are included in the Plan. Effective treatment of solids generated by on-site treatment methods will assure sustainability of the environmental resources of the County. Moderate low density development is only possible with the continued ability to maintain on-site systems. This project will enable that continuance. Water Quality can only be assured by having approved treatment systems for generated on-site waste. Again, this facility will meet that need.

It will be located in Apache Junction, Arizona near the intersection of Desert View and Guadalupe Roads. The JRC Solids Facility will ONLY accept Domestic Septage for the sole purpose of maintaining the highest grade of Sewage SludgeBiosolids in order to provide the highest number of landfill/biosolid disposal options keeping disposal costs at a minimum. The facility will NOT accept commercial septage, industrial septage, or domestic septage combined with commercial or industrial septage. FACILITY OVERVIEW The JRC Solids Facility's process will be designed as part of the Aquifer Protection Permit Application process to be approved by ADEQ. While a detailed design is not available, components will most likely include a Loading Station, Polymer Addition, Mechanical Water Separation, Solids Output Handling all of which will be housed in a 50' by 75' by 20' tall building. Solids generated from the process will be hauled off to a regulated Biosolids Facility/Landfill. Separated water from the process will flow into one of the two 100' by 200' Evaporation Ponds to evaporate and for use as on site irrigation. There may be "polishing" of that water trough filtration prior to storage in the ponds. Refer to Appendix A Figure 1 for a Site Plan and Figure 2 for a Process Flow Diagram of the JRC Solids Facility. LOADING STATION The loading station will be a lockable unit, containing holding tanks (10,000 gallon total), a screen, and a mixer. The holding tanks will be designed to receive and temporarily store the domestic septage prior to processsing. There will probably be two holding tanks to allow for holding tank maintenance without interrupting operation of the facility. The loading station screen will be a stainless steel unit designed to catch any non-organic waste before entering the process. The mixer will mix incoming domestic septage to ensure that it is uniform for optimal water separation. See Appendix B Figure 3 for a sample holding tank, Figure 4 for an example cut sheet of the loading station screen, and Figure 5 for an example cut sheet of the mixer. POLYMER MIXING Prior to processing in the Water Separation unit, polymer will be added and mixed. Polymer is added because it serves as a catalyst for the separation of water from solids. See Appendix C Figure 6 for an example of a static polymer mixer with a polymer injection port. MECHANICAL WATER SEPARATION Following polymer mixing, the sludge is ready for mechanical water separation. The JRC Solids facility is considering options for mechanical water separation. One option being considered is a 3 Rotary Fan Press, which is a totally enclosed device where conditioned sludge is fed into the enclosed slow moving (<1 rpm) dewatering channel between two heavy duty parallel stainless steel filter plates. The feed sludge is subject to a pressure drop where the liquids pass through the filter openings and the solids advance within the channel. The sludge continues to dewater as the feed pump supplies more sludge, slowly moving the solids through the channels toward the outlet of the press forming a cake. Dry cake is formed against the restrictor gate as the solids forming the cake fill the space between the slow moving parallel filter screens. The frictional forces of the continuously rotating filters advances the cake through the restrictor gate. Another option being considered is a Belt Filter Press, which is a device that separates water and solids by applying mechanical pressure to the chemically conditioned sludge, which is sandwiched between two (2) tensioned belts, by passing those belts through a serpentine of decreasing diameter rolls. See Appendix D Figure 7 for additional information on a Rotary Fan Press and Figure 8 for additional information on a Belt Filter Press. SOLIDS OUTPUT HANDLING The solids produced by Mechanical Water Separation will be routed to the Solids Output Handling using a Sludge Conveyor Belt that will transport solids into a storage bin for hauling offsite to a regulated Biosolids Facility/Landfill. See Appendix E Figure 9 for an example of a Sludge Conveyor belt. EVAPORATION POND/SITE IRRIGATION The water produced by Mechanical Water Separation will be routed to one of two 200' by 100' evaporation ponds. Water in these ponds will also be used for irrigation of onsite landscape using an irrigation pump house. Depending on the requirements encountered during the Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) process, a Sand Filter may be incorporated into the process. The purpose of the sand filter is for polishing to remove additional solids from the water before entering the evaporation ponds. See Appendix E Figure 10 for an example of a Sand Filter. Refer to Appendix A Figure 1 for the Site Plan which illustrates the Evaporation Ponds relative to the process facilities. 4 APPENDIX A - FACILITY OVERVIEW SUPPORT FIGURE 1 — Site Plan FIGURE 2 — Process Flow Diagram 5 FIGURE 1 ICI-2 EX.

Tomahawk Road and US60. The properties are currently zoned General Rural (GR) and Multi-family Residences (CR-4) by Pinal County. If annexed, the properties would be assigned equivalent city zoning districts of General Rural (RS-GR) and Multi-family Residences (RM-3) respectively. Presentation, discussion and public hearing. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 1 Printed on 611512026 City p of Apache Junction "1q Development Services Department M MOR.AMUM DATE: October 22, 2014 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members THROUGH: George Hoffman, City Manager Larry Rirch, Development Services Director FROM: Rudy Esquivias, Senior Planner/Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: November 4, 2014, Public Hearing Item AN-2-14 : Proposed Annexation of +/-7 acres at SE corner of S. Tomahawk Road and US60 . Proposal Description This is an annexation proposal for approximately 7 acres of private land and some ADOT right-of-way (on the north and west sides of the private properties) at the southeast corner area of S . Tomahawk Road and US60 . Planning Staff is working with the property owners, Mesa Development Corporation and JBW Investments LLC, represented by John Wharton, to annex the properties; and on a concurrent rezoning proposal to create a commercial development opportunity (see annexation request letter and AN-2-14 blank petition and map) . The subject site is currently in Pinal County jurisdiction and is bordered by the City on the north side . The site consists of 6 private lots and another piece owned by ADOT. The north private lots (parcels OOBA, 009C and 009D) are zoned the county' s GR (General Rural) zone; and the south lots (parcels 010A, 010B and 021) are zoned the county' s CR-4 (Multi-family Residences) zone. Upon successful annexation into the City, the subject site will be assigned the city' s RS-GR (General Rural) zoning district, and RM-3 (Multi-family Residences) zoning district, respectively. These City zoning districts are very similar to Pinal County' s districts . The concurrent rezoning (case PZ-4-14) proposes to rezone all properties to B-1/PD (General Business by Planned Development) . Case Background As mentioned, this annexation proposes to bring into the City about 7 acres of land lying in Pinal County jurisdiction. The properties have been previously developed with a small RV park and a single-family home, on roughly the north half of the site; and with some apartment AN-2-14 (MESA DEV. CORP./JBW INV. ANNEX.) PAGE 2 Of 2 units and another single-family home, on roughly the south half of the site. The RV park use appears to have been discontinued years ago. The City limits are contiguous and adjacent to the property on its north side . The configuration of the property satisfies the length, width and contiguency requirements under State law for a proposed annexation area. As part of the annexation process required by ARS (Arizona Revised Statutes) § 9-471, on October 13 , 2014 , the City filed a blank (unsigned) annexation petition with the Pinal County Recorder' s Office . ARS requires that the City Council hold a public hearing to discuss the proposed annexation within the last 10 days of a 30-day period subsequent to the recording of the blank petition, but prior to collecting signatures. The Council may NOT adopt an ordinance to annex land at this public hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to receive public comment and discuss the proposed annexation. The City may begin collecting petition signatures after November 12, 2014 . State Statutes then give the City a time frame of one year, after the 30-day waiting period, to collect the necessary number of signatures of consent . After the signatures have been collected and recorded, Planning Staff will prepare an annexation ordinance to be adopted by the City Council at a separate public hearing. Impact Assessment The City will become responsible for services including police protection and zoning and code enforcement . The site will eventually also receive service from the Sewer District, AJ Water Company and the Fire District . The property is located in an area which has a General Plan designation of "High Density Residential (Maximum of 20 Dwelling Units per Acre) " . Planning Division Recommendation Public input and discussion only. All records pertaining to this annexation are available on file in the Planning Division Office at 300 E. Superstition Blvd_ Please refer to case file AN-2-14 when inquiring about this case. Attached: - Blank Annexation Petition w/annex. area map, recorded October 13, 2014 June 24, 2014 Honorable John Insalaco and City Council Members City of Apache Junction 300 East Superstition Boulevard Apache Junction, AZ 85119 RE: The annexation of 4.98 acres of land at the southeast corner of Hwy 60 and Tomahawk Road Dear Mayor Insalaco and City Council Members, I would like to make a request for both the annexation of our property into the city of Apache Junction and along with the rezoning of the property. I have visited the city's Community Development department on a number of occasions to discuss the property and have asked the city for constructive input with regard to annexation and use of the property. At present, the property lies within the Pinal County jurisdiction. It has mixed zoning which as it was originally developed as two separate properties in the 1970's. The county elected to amend the zoning of a portion of the property a few years ago to allow commercial uses. The balance of the property is zoned for multi-family. All utilities are at, or very near, the property line. We had a handshake agreement with Choice Hotels for the development of a Country Inn & Suites prior to the recession. Since that time, the property has been marketed to sale with no serious offers being received in the last few years. Our subsequent discussions with Choice Hotels and others has made it clear that the market has changed and in order to attract a buyer/developer we will need to have zoning in place as the player are simply much more cautious now. My partner and I were hurt badly by the recession. We have roughly$1.6 million dollars cash into the purchase of the properties and still have a mortgage of over$600,000 remaining. The rent from the aging apartments only pays a portion of the monthly payment, maintenance, etc. In short, we are broke. My partner is 83 years old and has no income. We have managed to put together enough money to pay the City's zoning application fees but we do not have funds for elaborate drawings, grading and drainage plans, etc. Practically speaking, some flexibility in the site plan will certainly allow a more rapid development time-frame and engineering would John B. Wharton 4625 5. Lakeshore Drive,Tempe AZ 85282 480 650-8858 Johnwharton@cox.net be required at that time which the developer can pay. We simply do not have the cash, or access to the cash, to hire architects and engineers. I do have previous drawings which are of some help. What I am proposing is the annexation of the property with subsequent development of the site with a hotel and a self-storage facility. The access to the property is somewhat restricted which is why the mini-storage was added to the hotel. This will be made more clear with our application. We sincerely hope to work with you to make this development happen. 1 will be making application in the next few days. Kind regards, John Wharton, owner John B. Wharton 462S S.
