City Manager Bryant Powell thanked department directors and the finance team for putting this City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 4 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes June 2,2020 balanced budget together. He highlighted some of the events and projects that the city was able to complete earlier this year. Mr. Powell highlighted the importance of Census 2020 and encouraged all residents to participate and get counted as federal funding is dependent on it. Mr. Powell gave an update on how departments operated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Assistant City Manager Matt Busby thanked staff and council for being so flexible during this pandemic as everything changed daily, including the budget, and everyone adapted so well. Mr. Powell stated that the FY 2020-2021 budget is very conservative as the city prepares for the unknown fiscal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Powell highlighted some things that are included in the budget such as mandated retirement increase, increase to health benefit costs, a few new much needed staff positions, funds allocated for the BLM land survey and appraisal and the new city financial software. He stated that a 2.5% staff step increase and a few staff positions were removed from next year's proposed budget. Mr. Busby stated that each department's budget is attached to the agenda item. Councilmember Struble thanked the staff for creating another responsible budget. He explained that cities are also tied to the federal and state budgets as these entities can take funds that should go to cities and keep them for funding items in their budgets. Mr. Busby stated that the city employee comp and classification plan is also included in the budget. Mr. Busby also explained the PSPRS Pension Funding Policy which is to be approved annually. 9. 20-192 Presentation and discussion of public policy implications for long-range transportation planning with federally patented easements. Development Services Director Larry Kirch stated that this is just an initial discussion and no action will be done tonight. He stated that a lot of education needs to be done on federally patented easements (FPE)as residents and even realtors are not educated on them. Mayor Serdy asked how long this item would take. City Engineer Emile Schmid stated that he had 18 more slides to go through and it would be difficult to condense his presentation and unfair to land owners. Councilmember Barker stated that this item should be moved to a true work session so they can give it the time it needs. Mayor Serdy stated that this is very important and should be brought back up at a work session, maybe on June 15th. *10. 20-271 Discussion on the qualified use of pandemic-related expenditure grant funding recently made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 5 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes June 2,2020 Security ("CARES')Act (signed into law by President Trump on March 27, 2020 under Pub. L. 116-136). Assistant City Manager Matt Busby stated that the information related to COVID-19 is changing all of the time. He stated that there are very strict guidelines on what this money is to be spent on and when it is spent. Mr. Busby stated that the AZ Cares Fund can be used for public safety employee salary and benefits costs and for reimbursements to COVID-19 expenses. Apache Junction is eligible to receive$4.8 million and the city will submit costs incurred to COVID-19 to the state grant system in order to receive the funds. Mr. Busby shared major local impacts to public safety, businesses, residents and the city. He presented on what nearby communities have done with the Care Funds they have already received. Mr. Busby stated that the city is doing a great job at tracking what the city has spent in order to send it in for reimbursement. Councilmember Struble stated that the city will be very cognitive on how the money is dispersed to make sure those that get it, actually do need it, and use it correctly. He wants to make sure that our local small businesses do not get left behind. Mr. Busby stated that the budget will show that we will be receiving the $4.8 million and how it will be spent. Mayor Serdy asked if we can have this on every agenda going forward so there can constantly be an update. Mr. Powell replied yes. Mayor Serdy asked if there is a way the city can get money from Pinal County as well since Apache Junction falls under Pinal County. Mr. Powell replied no because Pinal County is only getting money for Apache Junction unincorporated residents and residents are not being double accounted for. Councilmember Struble stated that Apache Junction has the same issues as the big cities and counties do but we continue to get passed over and it is very frustrating. He said that$4.8 million dollars sounds like a lot of money but it will go fast and is not enough. Mayor Serdy stated that Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport received $20 million dollars and they are just going to sit on the money to use to survive for now so they do not have to shut down. Mr. Busby said they will bring this item back and continue to give updates along the way. K. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF 11. 20-257 Council direction to staff to create a draft comprehensive noise ordinance. Councilmember Barker moved,seconded by Councilmember Schroeder that direction be given to staff to compile all of the city noise ordinances into one and that questions regarding the cost and successfulness of the decibel reader be brought back to the first set of meetings in August. Yes: 5- Vice Mayor Wilson, Councilmember Barker, Councilmember Evans, Councilmember Schroeder and Councilmember Struble City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 6 City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes June 2,2020 No: 1 - Mayor Serdy Excused: 1 - Councilmember Rizzi Councilmember Schroeder stated that Joel did an excellent job at putting this together and asked if council had any questions or comments. Councilmember Barker stated that all of the questions were not answered and she is not ready to make a decision. Mayor Serdy stated that there is training available for decibel readers. Councilmember Barker stated that during this time when our budget is dry to the bone that we need to know costs associated with this. She explained that if the state passes a bill on this then the city will have to follow that and our code will just get scrapped so this is something to consider. Vice Mayor Wilson stated that if he had to go out and make a call on if something was too loud, it would be very difficult but if a sound decibel reader is used it would make it a much easier determination. Councilmember Barker stated that a decibel reader could be efficient but it often would not be, such as a barking dog. Councilmember Evans stated that she really likes having the entire noise ordinance in one area. She continued that in her last 6 years here, there have only been 2 ongoing noise issues. She would like to hear from Chief Kelly on what kind of noise complaint calls are being made. Chief Kelly stated that there are very few agencies carrying decibel readers as they have so many other priorities. He stated that this would be such a low priority and considers it a civil case. Councilmember Evans asked if noise complaints are a big problem. Chief Kelly responded that overall it is very low and normally gets resolved pretty easy. Councilmember Evans stated that she thinks we need a lot more detail and success rates on decibel readers. She doesn't understand spending $4,000 on something that we don't even know if it is successful when we can't even give employees a raise. Councilmember Schroeder stated that he thinks it is being dissected too much and says this would just be another tool for officers to use. Councilmember Barker asked if we are going to listen to our Chief when he says it is a very low priority. L.

CALL TO PUBLIC Bailey and Adam Nolan, 760 S. Wickiup Road, state that they are in the process of building a fence and had a code compliance officer tell them that they were using the wrong material and had to stop. They would like the material they are using to be considered and allowed to be used. They are going for an industrial look. Larry came and looked at the fence and said that they would need to come to council to get the material approved. They presented pictures to the city manager. Katelyn Beazley, 2175 N. Plaza Drive, a senior in high school, is an advocate for animals. In Pinal County you have to have your animal registered. She is requesting a way to let animal owners get the care they need for their animals. She is looking for spay and neuter assistance for owners. Chief Farber, of Superstition Fire and Medical District, gave an update on the fire. It is currently at 22,000 acres and 1,000 fire fighters are working on the fire. They are not concerned with the fire effecting Gold Canyon, Apache Junction, Peralta or Queen Valley at this time. The team has moved into their training facility on Goldfield so they are close and working hard. Gilbert Ruiz, 3061 E. 2nd Avenue, stated that they purchased this property 2 years ago. He stated that Wagonwheel Road runs by their property and it was abandoned years ago. They would like to acquire the small strip of land next to their land just as the 12 other owners on that street have so they can build a shed. Donna Carr, 2178 W. Virginia Street, stated that she feels bad for the small businesses such as AJ News who had to close permanently. She thinks that if council gives businesses money that they should not be allowed to sell the business for 5 years. She doesn't think that officers need a noise gizmo and it is a waste of money. Jane Brown, via an e-mail sent to Vice Mayor Wilson, states that the 12 home subdivision is not good for the community. Mayor Serdy asked staff to look into the fence issue related to Bailey and Adam Nolan. N.

Page 3 of 3 Regional Cooperation Protocol Policy Greater Phoenix Economic Council and Economic Development Directors Team The foundation of this policy is built on trust and the spirit of regional cooperation among the entities involved. GPEC and the Economic Development Directors of its member communities agree and acknowledge that it is important that they work together as partners on projects involving the communities which GPEC represents, regardless of the source of the lead, as follows: 1. Demonstrate a commitment to the positive promotion of the Greater Phoenix, specifically, GPEC member communities, as a globally competitive region. 2. Maintain the highest standards of economic development prospect handling, including confidentiality, without jeopardizing a prospect's trust to secure the probability of a regional locate. Partners agree to respect the prospect's request for confidentiality but also agree to notify each other as to the existence of a project with a confidentiality requirement when able and shall make a good-faith effort to involve the appropriate state,regional or local partners at the earliest possible time. 3. Unless otherwise restricted,agree to coordinate through GPEC for any prospect considering a project in Maricopa County or in any of the communities that GPEC represents,understanding that GPEC is in a unique position to represent and speak on regional economic development issues and on characteristics of the region's economy. Likewise, GPEC acknowledges that communities are in the best position to speak about local incentives and efforts surrounding the local economy. 4. For projects that originate with a GPEC member community, GPEC will be available for confidential research access,topical expertise or as a service provider,to add value to the community in securing the project. Additionally, GPEC will not e-track the project unless the community lead makes such a request to do so. 5. Provide accurate and timely information in response to specific requests by all prospects. When a client has narrowed sites to specific GPEC member communities,GPEC will make a good faith effort to inform those affected EDDT members first. EDDT members agree to provide information solely on their own community when the information requested is site-specific(i.e.,cost of land,taxes, development fees,utility availability and cost,zoning process timing,permit timing and local incentives). When site-specific information related to other GPEC communities is requested, EDDT members agree to(i) direct GPEC prospects back to GPEC or(ii)direct non-GPEC generated prospects to contact the affected communities directly,and as a courtesy,contact the affected communities. 6. Agree that regardless of the lead source,public locate announcements shall be coordinated among the company, GPEC member community,and GPEC to reflect inclusiveness and cooperation of all partners (subject to any confidentiality requirements). 7. GPEC and EDDTs will advocate for a robust operating budget for the state economic development agency,and champion sound statewide economic development programs and policies. 8. Discourage the proactive offering of local,municipal financial incentives for existing jobs to companies with current operations in another GPEC community. 9. Inform GPEC member community when a company visits or physical site visit within that community will occur. Economic Development Directors will be the primary point of contact for the company when community information is needed. 10. Agree that the consideration of a future community to GPEC's membership will be brought before Page 1 of 2 EDDT for discussion in advance of any board consideration. EDDT will make a recommendation on the addition of a new community to GPEC's President and CEO. 11. Formalize a process to convene GPEC and Economic Development Directors of GPEC member communities biannually, and cooperate in the exchange of information and ideas reflecting practices, procedures and policies relating to prospect handling and regional economic development. 12. Work collectively to maintain a high level of trust and integrity by and between GPEC and the Economic Development Directors of GPEC member communities,utilizing differing views as an opportunity to learn. 13. When conducting market intelligence initiative objective, GPEC staff will coordinate with EDDT to ensure coordination and communication. 14. When a Prospect Information Form(PIF)is issued by the state economic development agency GPEC will coordinate the region's response. All PIF submissions will be directed to GPEC's attention and GPEC will assemble the response and return to the state economic development agency. 15.

The commission voted unanimously to make the following recommendations for FY 2020-2021 contingent upon the applicant's complying with the health and human services agreement, compliance with the city code in which two persons are listed on the application, and any further documentation requested by the board be submitted no later than June 3rd 11Page Agency Request Proposed Use of Recommended Contingent Funds Funding Recommendation CAAFA $18,000 Intervention services $11,700 $17,450 Horizon $25,000 Mental Health First Aide $9,500* $9,500* Train the Trainer Services Food Bank $27,500 Provide food boxes $19,800 $19,800 Genesis $12,000 Provide community $10,500 $10,500 programs and support Emp Sys $16,000 1) Outreach and $11,500 $0 enrollment, 2) Laundry program B&G $30,000 Staff for power hour $11,000 $16,750 AJCDC $24,000 Administration costs and $6,000 $6,000 various projects Total $157,500 $80,000 $80,000 *The contingency recommendation for Horizon Health and Wellness is that the city council consider carrying forward the $15,000.00 that was allocated to them for fiscal year 19/20 and not spent be used for the 20/21 proposed training for a total of$24,500. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the city council approve the contingent recommendation of the Health and Human Services Commission for the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 for the following reasons: 1) Empowerment Systems has withdrawn their application for funding for FY 20/21 due to staffing changes. 2) Horizon Health and Wellness is proposing to complete SafeTalk training by June 30, 2020 for youth and to cancel ASSIST for adults at this time and expending the $15,000 allocated for FY 19/20. 3) Based on a funding level of$9,500 (rather than $24,500), Horizon Health proposes to undertake Mental Health First Aid Adult Version for the 20/21 FY.

Although this is a valued service, it is not clear, how this funding will make a difference in programs offered. This appears to supplant existing services. Likewise, the proposal does not provide a guide on how many of each service will be provided. The proposal simply indicates it is on a per unit cost. There is no way to determine if they are on target to meet goals. Although mindful of the service they provide, their quality of reporting under previous awards, their commitment to the community, and the favorable scoring from the commissioners, staff does not recommend funding this project. However, if awarded, staff recommends a different project for future requests. Horizon Health and Wellness Request = $25,000 Project: Mental Health First Aide Train the Trainer Services Proposed agreement scope of work: o Training for four people in Mental Health First Aide and Mental Health First Aide Youth including travel and materials o Provide a minimum of one training event under each program within the community during program year Proposed reporting requirements: o Certificates of completion o Travel and curriculum receipts o Evidence of trainings held, number of attendees, agency partners/attendees Staff comments: The state of mental health within the community is of great interest. Educating a mental health organization's staff on mental health first aide seems counterintuitive. However offering this training to non-typical providers would extend the reach for services thus enabling Horizon to provide this training to the community on an on-going basis. Staff would be remiss to mention the concerns regarding the existing 3 1 r a g e agreement for services and the agencies noncompliance. Therefore staff does not recommend funding at this time. However, if awarded, staff recommends partial funding for non-Horizon staff to receive the training. Superstition Food Bank Request = $27,500 Project: Provide food boxes Proposed agreement scope of work: o Provide a minimum of 400 people with 39 lbs. of food o Provide monthly educational opportunities Proposed reporting requirements: o Number of people served o Pounds of food distributed o Percentage of those served by zip code o Evidence of educational activities and distribution or number of people who participated o Conduct a customer satisfaction survey to obtain the following relating to the educational component: what education services were received, were the services helpful, their gained knowledge, will the services received move them to be less food insecure (if not why), and their satisfaction level for services received Staff comments: Food insecurity is a growing concern. Proving food to the community is a basic essential need. Often handing out food once monthly is not enough. Educating recipients on a variety of areas may help with become less food insecure. Education may take various forms including classes, shared resources, and print materials. These services are services the city has identified as a need and are not able to provide. Thus, staff recommends funding of this project. Genesis Project Request = $12,000 Project: Provide community programs and support Proposed agreement scope of work: o Community access to essential services for a minimum of 10 hours per week o Community access for heat relief for a minimum of 14 hours per week o Community access to safe community space for a minimum of 14 hours per week o Expanded water storage and distribution access for a minimum of 14 hours per week o Space for agencies to provide outreach services through the AJ Community Resource Center for a minimum of 8 hours per week Proposed reporting requirements: o Number of people served — provide a copy of the sign in sheet o Percentage of those served by zip code o Services received Staff comments: The Apache Junction Community Resource Center is a collaborative effort through the Apache Junction Homeless Coalition. City staff creates the schedule for services and the Genesis Project has offered the space. Additional services being provided within this space are all essential services identified in the Strategic Plan on Homelessness, an effort lead by the city. These services are services the city has 4 1 r a g e identified as a need and are not able to provide. Staff recommends funding of this project. Empowerment Systems Request = $16,000 Project: 1) Outreach and enrollment, 2) Laundry program Proposed agreement scope of work: o Serve as the citywide contact for information, referrals, and services thereby accepting all calls transferred from the city for requests of services o Staff the Apache Junction Community Resource Center Mondays and Wednesdays from 11-3 and answer all questions for customers, even those outside the normal scope of services for Empowerment Systems o Provide a laundry event twice monthly serving a minimum of 500 people in program year o Manage the Project Connect event and serve as lead for the Point In Time count Proposed reporting requirements: o Number of people served o Percentage of those served by zip code o Type of assistance sought/received o Number of calls routed from the city for assistance o Conduct a customer satisfaction survey to obtain the following: what services were sought, was Empowerment Systems able to assist them, their gained knowledge of community resources, was their problem resolved (if not why), and their satisfaction level for assistance received o What activities were completed during reporting period including meetings, events, partnerships created, and projects completed Staff comments: City staff has requested a staff person for two budget years to provide outreach and service as the contact person within the community for social services. This request was not fulfilled in FY19 and remains under discussion for FY20. Providing funding for these services outside of the city, reduces the cost to the city budget, reduces staff time spent on some of the daily requests for referrals and resources, and reduces staff time on special events/activities. Furthermore, the need for a laundry service was identified in the Apache Junction Strategic Plan on Homelessness as an essential need and gap within the community. These services are services the city has identified as a need and are not able to provide. Staff recommends funding of this project. Boys and Girls Club Request = $30,000 Project: staff for power hour Proposed agreement scope of work: o Provide power hour 250 days for the program year for 85-90 people per day o Free annual membership totaling $28,664 ($30/youth and $15/teen) averaging 1200 scholarships. Proposed reporting requirements: o Number of children attending each power hour o Number of scholarships provided and address for each child 5 1 P a g e Staff comments: Power hour is a staple under the Boys and Girls Club programming. This service is provided regardless of the funding received. If this funding is to hire staffing, the club should detail their staffing levels to demonstrate they do not have the staff capacity. This appears to supplant existing services. Staff does not recommend funding this project. Apache Junction Community Development Corporation Request = $24,000 Project: Administration costs and various projects Proposed agreement scope of work: o Maintain the organizations non-profit status, insurance requirements, financial systems, and a website o Manage a Make A Difference Day event while seeking alternate funding sources for support o Provide transport of household hazardous waste for AJ residents during city held HHW events o Manage a volunteer based community revitalization effort to help elderly and disabled homeowners maintain their property on a regular basis while seeking alternate funding sources for support (provide service to a minimum of 5 homeowners) Proposed reporting requirements: o Number of people served o Type of assistance sought/received o Address of individual homeowners served and frequency of visit o Number of volunteers served o Outside funding sources received o Conduct a customer satisfaction survey to obtain the following: what services were sought, was the CDC able to assist them, was their problem resolved (if not why), and their satisfaction level for assistance received Staff comments: The city has a history with the CDC and has financially supported the organization's administrative costs while they become self-sufficient. In order to place in writing the services the city wishes to receive from the CDC, the city has opted to consider this organization under the Health and Human Services Commission program. The additional programs identified in the proposal are additional costs outside what the city has funded in the past. Not all services are health and human services and thus are not eligible under the commission funding. All programs are volunteer based and the special projects may result in associated costs for materials. Staff recommends partial funding for the minimum of administrative costs of $6,000. 6 1 P a g e HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FUNDING COMPARISON TABLE AGENCY FY 2011 FY 2012 FY 2013 FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 -12 -13 -14 -15 -16 -17 -18 -19 -20 21 AJ Community Development NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 24,000 Boys&Girls Club of Apache Junction 30,000 30,000 20,000 25,000 25,000 25,000 30,000 30,000 35,000 35,000 8,000 8,000 11,000 20,000 20,000 20,000 30,000 29,000 24,500 Community Alliance Against Family 14,500 14,500 14,000 18,000 24,000 24,000 25,000 20,000 18,000 18,000 Abuse(CAAFA) 14,500 14,500 14,000 18,000 20,000 20,000 25,000 16,000 16,000 East Valley Adult Resources(for AJ Senior 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 40,000 NA NA NA NA Center 25,000 26,000 30,000 30,000 28,000 0 East Valley Adult Resources(for van NA NA 45,000 40,000 30,000 35,000 NA NA NA NA transportation) 0 0 0 0 Empowerment Systems NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 16,000 Genesis Project NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 12,000 Horizon Health&Wellness NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 20,000 25,000 15,000 Superstition Food Bank(AJ Food Bank) 20,000 25,000 30.000 30,000 32,000 50,000 32,000 50,000 75,000 27,500 20,000 25,000 30.000 32,000 32,000 32,000 7,000 33,000 24,500 United Way NA NA NA NA NA 7,735 50,000 10,000 NA NA 0 10,000 2,000 7 1 P a g e Horizon Health and Wellness amended funding request $9,500 Larry, Here is the revised City of Apache Junction Health and Human Services Commission grant proposal for the 2020/21 period. I have reduced expenses down to the $9,500 that the commission proposed and have cut the programming to align with this dollar amount. I am still doing some verification for the virtual trainings to make sure that there are spots available in upcoming trainings occurring in July. If there is no room in those trainings, we will attempt to get training done by the end of August so that we have plenty of time to conduct the community trainings during the new grant year. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you (Cheri DeBree) June 3, 2020 To whom it may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to apply for grant funds once again from the City of Apache Junction. Below, you will find an updated proposal based on a new request for$9500. Please find our original proposal also attached at the end of this update. Horizon Health and Wellness (HHW) proposes to provide vital outreach, education and treatment services to help the residents of Apache Junction who are affected by a mental illness or are at risk for suicide and other harmful behavior. We would accomplish this by providing Mental Health First Aid Adult Version to the residents of Apache Junction, with a focus on trainings being delivered to educators, community stakeholders, first responders, city staff, retirement communities and parks, and the general population as needed. HHW will also seek guidance from the commission as to priority populations that they would like to see trained under this grant. We are requesting$9,500 in funding to be able to provide these vital trainings in Apache Junction. Funds will be used to enable HHW staff(2)to become trainers in Mental Health First Aid, which is an evidence-based, in-person training program with proven ability to teach individuals how to recognize and respond to the warning signs of mental illness and substance use disorders and link people with appropriate treatment and support. These trainings (8-10) will be delivered during the grant period, but will continue to be delivered into the future, past the grant funded period as well. Grant funds will also provide staff the ability to do community based outreach and engagement of residents. By teaching the community how to recognize signs and symptoms, and risk factors of someone dealing with mental illness, and increasing their confidence in how to approach, respond, and support them, together we can ensure that our community is happier, healthier and safer. SafeTALK trainings will continue to be delivered to community as well, as a carry-over from the grant that we received this past year. 8 1 P a g e Money Designation Amount Requested New Instructor MHFA Tuition Horizon Staff (2) VIRTUAL $4,000 Travel for all trainings $0 Community Training Attendee Manuals @ $18.95 ea x 250 + S/H $4900 Community Training Teaching Supplies $600 TOTAL $9500 Thank you for considering this funding request. Sincerely, Laura Larson-Huffaker CEO/Horizon Health and Wellness 9 1 P a g e ORIGINAL GRANT PROPOSAL January 30, 2020 To whom it may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to apply for grant funds once again from the City of Apache Junction. Horizon Health and Wellness cares deeply about the community in Apache Junction and the surrounding area and has worked in partnership with the City on many community initiatives. We welcome the opportunity to once again partner with Apache Junction to address issues significant to the community. In 2018, the Pinal County Community Health Needs Assessment was conducted in partnership with Pinal County Public Health Services District, Banner Health, Sun Life Family Health Center, and other key stakeholders. From this assessment, the following three priority areas were identified as the most urgent areas for improvement where progress could feasibly be made: • Physical Activity and Nutrition (Obesity) • Substance Abuse • Mental Health With two of the top three urgent areas of need falling into the behavioral health category, there is a need for further preventative education, awareness, and ongoing supports in Pinal County. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 5 U.S. adults and 17%of all youth (ages 6-17) experience mental illness. These are our children, parents, co-workers, friends, and family. According to Mental Health First Aid, USA, mental health problems are more common than heart disease, lung disease and cancer combined. In the United States, only 41%of the people who had a mental disorder in the past year received professional health care or other services. For children, less than 20%with diagnosed mental health issues receive the support they need. Over the past several years there has been a steady increase in suicides in the United States. The City of Apache Junction mirrors this increase. Youth suicides in Pinal County and the East Valley of Maricopa County neighboring school districts continue to be an issue. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 10-24 (2016 CDC WISQARS) and four out of five teens who attempt suicide have given clear warning signs. Suicide is also the fourth leading cause of death for ages 35-54. In fact, according to Arizona's Department of Health Services Suicide and Self-Inflicted Injury report 2006-2017, residents aged 45-54 years and those between the ages of 55-64 had higher rates of suicide deaths among all age groups, which is approximately 65%of the population in Apache Junction. 101Page Suicide in the U.& 33% The increase in the rase of suicides from 1999 through 2017 2nd Suicide ranks as_he second leading cause of death for 10-to 3"ar-olds and the fourth leading cause of death for people ages 35 to 54 10th Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death overall According to Mental Health First Aid, USA, research shows that people with mental health problems are more likely to seek help if someone close to them suggests it. Public awareness initiatives need to be delivered in communities to help community members, family members, friends, and neighbors feel comfortable identifying someone in need of mental health services. Education is needed to equip our community to know how to assist someone experiencing mental health or substance abuse related symptoms as a way to prevent mental health crises turning into someone dying by suicide. Many people relate Mental Health First Aid curriculum to CPR. While CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, people learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help Mental Health First Aid is an international training program proven to be effective. Peer-reviewed studies show that individuals trained in the program: • Grow their knowledge of signs, symptoms and risk factors of mental illnesses and addictions. • Can identify multiple types of professional and self-help resources for individuals with a mental illness or addiction. • Increase their confidence in and likelihood to help an individual in distress. • Show increased mental wellness themselves. Studies also show that the program reduces stigma associated with mental illness. Mental Health First Aid is listed in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Registry as an Evidence-based Program and Practice. Horizon Health and Wellness (HHW) proposes to provide vital outreach, education and treatment services to help the residents of Apache Junction who are affected by a mental illness or are at risk for suicide and other harmful behavior. We would accomplish this by providing Mental Health First 111Page Aid and Mental Health First Aid Youth to the residents of Apache Junction, with a focus on trainings being delivered to educators, community stakeholders that interface with our youth students, and retirement communities and parks. HHW will work in collaboration with school personnel and other community partners to identify, outreach, educate and provide needed services to adults, children and their families. We are requesting $25,000 in funding to be able to provide these vital services in Apache Junction. Funds will be used to enable HHW staff(2) and community partners (2) to become trainers in Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health First Aid Youth, which are evidence-based, in-person training programs with proven ability to teach individuals how to recognize and respond to the warning signs of mental illness and substance use disorders and link people with appropriate treatment and support. By having two community stakeholder staff members also trained in both of these curricula, it will multiply efforts and reach more residents. These trainings (10-12) will be delivered during the grant period, but will continue to be delivered into the future, past the grant funded period as well. Grant funds will also provide staff the ability to do community based outreach and engagement of residents. By teaching the community how to recognize signs and symptoms, and risk factors of someone dealing with mental illness, and increasing their confidence in how to approach, respond, and support them, together we can ensure that our community is happier, healthier and safer. SafeTALK and ASIST trainings will continue to be delivered to community as well, as a carry-over from the grant that we received this past year. Thank you for considering this funding request.

'+PizoN* File ID: 20-292 Sponsor: Janine Solley Agenda Date: 6/16/2020 Index: In Control: City Council Meeting Presentation, discussion, and consideration of proposed Resolution No. 20-22, authorizing a temporary expansion of restaurant facilities including services, eating, and drinking and modifying signage requirements for all businesses due to the COVID-19 emergency "citywide". The proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager or Designee to temporarily suspend enforcement or to modify City Code requirements to allow restaurants to expand their services to outdoor areas on their property. The expansion of services may include outdoor eating or drinking, as well as also suspend enforcement of parking regulations and temporary signage for all businesses and organizations affected by the COVID-19 Emergency. City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 1 Printed on 611512026 O� p,PACHF✓G20 � � 4 .1 - z City of Apache Junction rd Economic Development Department R/ZwA Council Staff Report Resolution No. 20-22 Date: June 16, 2020 To: City Council Through: Matt Busby, Assistant City Manager Bryant Powell, City Manager From: Janine Solley, Economic Development Director Larry Kirch, Director of Development Services Subject: Resolution No. 20-22 Authorizing a Temporary Expansion of Restaurant Facilities Including Services, Eating, and Drinking and Modifying Signage Requirements for All Businesses Due to the Covid- 19 Emergency "Citywide" Purpose and Recommendation The proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager or Designee to temporarily suspend enforcement or to modify City Code requirements to allow restaurants to expand their services to outdoor areas on their property. The expansion of services may include outdoor eating or drinking, as well as also suspend enforcement of parking regulations and temporary signage. This temporary suspension to the Codes will help mitigate the impacts of policies that have been implemented to limit the spread of Covid-19, primarily through social distancing. Allowing restaurants to expand their service areas, with appropriate controls, will provide economic benefits to both the restaurants, the Community, and the City. Background Conformance with guidelines from the Center for Disease Control, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Arizona Department of Health Services has resulted in a greatly reduced customer service area for restaurants. Seating areas have been reduced up to 50% (in some cases higher) to accommodate social distancing requirements. The Arizona Restaurant Associated proposed considering modifications to City Codes to facilitate temporary expansions that will allow an increase in customers while complying with the emergency procedures. This resolution, as proposed, also adopts a policy of suspending enforcement of parking and temporary signage to promote individual restaurants and their services. Such establishments must still adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), county health regulations and state liquor control board regulations. Discussion: This resolution provides authority to the City Manager or designee to modify certain Code requirements. Specific codes that may need to be modified, on a site-specific bases, include the Zoning Ordinance, Building Codes and possibly Engineering standards. Designated positions to administer the modifications may include the Zoning Administrator, Building Official, the City Engineer, or other Department Directors. City staff will implement a very streamlined process to approve expansion of premises requests. This will be accomplished through a brief, no-charge application and approval review process. The goal is to approve requests within two to four business days. The process will rely on restaurant owners/operators obtaining landlord approvals to expand their facilities and to ensure compliance with life/safety requirements for public safety. The Development Services Department will be the central point of contact for receiving, reviewing, and documenting approval of expansion requests. Recommended Motion: I move that Resolution 20-22 be approved authorizing the City Manager or designee to temporarily suspend enforcement, modify, or approve alternatives to requirements or specifications in the Apache Junction City Code related to outdoor seating and services for eating and drinking establishments as well as temporary signage for all businesses and organization affected by the COVID-19 Emergency subject to county and state rules and regulations regarding serving of food and alcohol.
