FPEs were established as a means to provide public roadway access to Federal Patent parcels, and to mitigate the need of local government to acquire right- of-way to provide access to otherwise landlocked parcels. FPEs are typically a total of 66 feet in width with 33 feet on each side of common parcel lines. Seventh Avenue from Wickiup Road to Chaparral Road has never been opened for public use or maintained by the City. This road is classified as a local roadway. In addition, the FPEs do not provide access to any parcels which would be landlocked in the event of extinguishment. Area transportation would not be adversely affected by an extinguishment of these portions of roadway easements. Robert and Patricia Lewis filed an application for the extinguishment of the above mentioned portions of roadway easements on July 14th, 2014. The application included a support petition signed by the adjacent property owners, who support the extinguishment petition. The property owners desire the use of the 33 feet for reduction of setbacks and to allow site improvements to proceed.

WHEREAS, the City of Apache Junction, upon incorporation became the holder of federally patented easements (“FPEs”) as described in Exhibit A and depicted in Exhibit B, for public roadway purposes; and WHEREAS, such easements may be extinguished by local municipalities pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 9-500.24 and 28-7214; and WHEREAS, on July 14, 2014, the “Applicant”, paid the required non-refundable application and filing fee for the extinguishment request pursuant to Apache Junction City Code § 13-2-4 (H); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Apache Junction City Code § 13-2-4, the Director of Public Works on July 14, 2014, submitted copies of the application for comment to the Development Services Director, the Public Safety Director, the Superstition Fire and Medical District, as well as affected public utility providers; and WHEREAS, no opposition statements were received from Salt River Project, Arizona Water Company, Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District No. 1, Centurylink, Mediacom, Southwest Gas, the Development Services Director, and the Public Safety Director; and WHEREAS, the City of Apache Junction Street Circulation and Access Study recommends extinguishment of the identified public roadway easements; and WHEREAS, the extinguishment request, if approved, would not leave a parcel in separate ownership without access to an established public roadway or easement connecting such lands with another public roadway or easement; and RESOLUTION NO. 14-34 PAGE 2 OF 4 WHEREAS, the City Engineer has determined that the easements in question, because of their location, topography, and encroachments, have no or de minimis public value. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZONA AS FOLLOWS: 1. The Mayor and City Council of the City of Apache Junction find that the roadway easements described in Exhibit A, and depicted in Exhibit B, are classified as local streets on the Street Classification Plan and are no longer necessary for roadway purposes, have no or de minimis public value, and are hereby extinguished for public roadway right-of-way purposes. 2.

HOFFMAN, CITY MANAGER FROM: KATHLEEN CONNELLY, CITY CLERK SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM FOR AUGUST 4, 2014 WORK SESSION AND AUGUST 19, 2014 REGULAR MEETING — RIDE CHOICE AGREEMENT Since 2003, the city has provided transportation funding through East Valley Adult Resources for elderly city residents 60 years of age and older and disabled adult city residents (18 years of age and older). The program, initially known as Enabling Transportation, started operation in January 2004 with a funding level of $11,500. For fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006, funding was in the amount of $30,000; $33,960 in FY 2007 and $33,040 for FY 2008. Even though other service providers experienced a 20% reduction in FY 08-09, this program escaped that cutback by one meeting. Since FY 09-10 the program did receive the 20% reduction and was funded in the amount of $26,432.00. The recommendation for FY 14-15 is to continue to provide funding in the amount of $26,432. The funding will provide mileage reimbursement for 28,000 miles at 44¢ per mile up to a maximum of 200 miles per month per person. The additional amount will cover staff support to monitor the program, marketing and brochures and normal office costs. This agreement will be placed on your consent agenda for the August 19 meeting. Please contact me if you have any questions.

I am preparing the Ride Choice item for discussion at the August 4th city council work session. In looking at your request, I come up with two questions/concerns: 1. In the FY 13-14 request and subsequent agreement, the amount allocated for marketing and brochures was $152.00. In the FY 14-15 proposal, this amount has increased to $592.00. Please explain. 2. The captions above the graph at the bottom of the proposal page entitles it FY 2013-14 Ride Choice Budget Projections. I assume that this should correctly be the FY 2014-15 Ride Choice Budget Projections. Please confirm that this is the case. Thanks very much. Kathy Connelly, City Clerk City of Apache Junction 300 E.
