AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONSE.
REGIONAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL UPDATESF.
Mayor Wilson announced he attended the Pinal County Transportation Authority meeting
recently, where they continue to discuss the transportation tax that was approved by the voters
in 2017 and went into effect April of 2018. Later the tax was ruled invalid by the Arizona Supreme
Court stating it was illegal to have a two-tier sales tax structure. The tax was expected to raise
more than $640 million over 20 years to fund new and widened highways and other
transportation projects.
At previous council meetings Mayor Wilson commented on discussions held by Pinal Regional
Transportation Authority and talks on how the taxes will be paid back to the taxpayers. The
following information and link is provided from the Arizona Dept. of Revenue website for
taxpayers benefit and summarizes Mayor Wilson's comments related to this tax.
ADOR Statement on Pinal County Transportation Tax Refunds - With the Arizona Supreme
Court’s invalidation of the two-tiered Pinal County transportation tax on March 8, 2022, ADOR is
aware that taxpayers have questions about what actions they should take to seek a refund of
monies paid since April 1, 2018.
As our agency works toward a solution that allows claimants to easily request payments, here
are a few details on our plan:
Taxpayers will be able to submit electronic requests for monies paid toward the invalidated tax
while it was in effect (i.e., April 2018 through March 2022 TPT filing periods). The requests will
allow taxpayers to indicate whether they wish to opt in or opt out of receiving these monies.
Page 2City of Apache Junction, Arizona
June 7, 2022City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes
ADOR will process electronic requests for the invalidated tax entirely separately from standard
TPT refund requests. As such, to avoid delays and errors in handling, please do not attempt to
submit requests for the invalidated tax using such methods.
Taxpayers will be able to request all monies that they paid in since the April 1, 2018, effective
date of the invalidated tax. Under current law, ADOR anticipates that taxpayers will have until
April 9, 2026, to timely submit their electronic requests.
Taxpayers should not attempt to amend their filings for these periods to self-correct for reporting
and paying the invalidated tax. Such actions will likely result in unanticipated and unwanted
consequences for both ADOR and taxpayers.
ADOR greatly appreciates your continued patience. Please remember to follow AZDOR.gov for
the latest news and updates on this process as they become available.
Mayor Wilson stated he attended and spoke at the Apache Junction High School graduation
ceremony.
Mayor Wilson mentioned that June 6, was the anniversary of D-Day, the landing at Normandy.
He reminded everyone that those who have served and continue to serve in our military may
suffer from PTSD and to be mindful. He spoke of a family member with PTSD.

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE ARTWORK
BETWEEN THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION AND TREVOR O’TOOL
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of June 21, 2022 (“Effective Date”), by and
between the City of Apache Junction, an Arizona municipal corporation (“City”),
and Trevor O’Tool (“Artist”). The City and Artist may be referred to collectively as
“Parties” or in the singular as a “Party”.
RECITALS
A. The City has an Art in Public Places (“APP”) program as set forth in the
Apache Junction City Code, Volume II, Land Development Code, Chapter 1
Zoning Ordinance, Article 1-13, Design Standards, Article 1-14-4, Art in
Public and Private Developments, which requires at least one percent of
the total construction costs for eligible projects to be spent on artworks in
public places. The City is charged with the duty of providing for the nature,
selection, and placement of these artworks.
B. Through the APP program, funds have been allocated for the selection,
design, purchase and placement of artwork (“Work”) to be located in the
Dutchman Dog Park (“Park”), with the street address of 247 E. Superstition
Boulevard, Apache Junction, Arizona (“Location”) and which application is
in substantial conformance with Artist’s Design Proposal (“Proposal”).
C. The Artist was selected through a competitive selection process. On
February 23, 2022, the Artist submitted a proposal which included a
checklist of required documents. On May 9, 2022, the Artist was
recommended by the Public Art Commission to the City Council and then
was approved by the Council on June 21, 2022.
NOW, THEREFORE, City retains Artist to perform, and Artist agrees to
complete the work in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth
below:
1. Definition of “Work.” As used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires: “Work” means the work of art as ultimately conceived, designed,
fabricated, transported, delivered and installed by the Artist, after
consultation with the staff of the City. The Work includes all physical
components of the complete artwork, including but not limited to, associated
engineered foundations, bases, mounting brackets or devices, and all other
miscellaneous components necessary to complete the fabrication and
installation of the artwork.
2. Terms of Contract. This Agreement will be in effect from June 21, 2022 to
June 21, 2023.

3. Artist’s Preliminary Design Proposal. On or before August 21, 2022, the
Artist shall submit to the City a Preliminary Design Proposal.
4. Artist’s Final Design. On or before November 21, 2022, the Artist will, under
this Agreement, prepare the final design (the “Final Design”) and itemized
budget (the “Budget”) statement adhering to the originally approved
Preliminary Design Proposal.
5. Expectation of Final Design. Once the Final Design, the construction
documents, and the Budget have been approved by the City with a notice to
proceed, the Artist shall not modify any approved Work without the prior
written further approval of the City. The Artist may, if the Artist decides is
necessary, present to the City, in writing, for further review and approval,
any recommended material changes to the scope, design, color, size,
material or texture of the Work. A change shall be deemed material if it alters
the form, fit, or function of the Work, or modifies its dimensions by more than
five percent (5%).
6. Purchasing Materials, Fabrication, Installation and Delivery. Upon final
written approval of the Final Design and Budget, the Artist shall commence
fabrication, installation and delivery of the Work, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in Exhibit “A”. The Artist agrees to fabricate, install, and
deliver the Work consistent with the approved Final Design and Budget.
7. Time of Performance. Time is of the essence in this Agreement and Artist
shall dedicate such time and effort as is necessary to fulfill Artist’s
obligations to completely finish and install the Work to the satisfaction of City
within the timelines set forth in the Project Schedule specified in Exhibit “B”.
Failure to do so will be a material breach of contract, however, the Work may
be delayed by circumstances described in Section 25 of this Agreement. City
shall make its staff and contractors reasonably available to Artist for
consultation and assistance in order to achieve the purposes of this
Agreement.
8. Fee Schedule/Manner of Payment. Artist shall be paid according to the fee
schedule and manner of payment set forth in Exhibit “C”, which is attached
and incorporated by reference.
9. Post-Installation/Maintenance Requirements. The Artist shall provide
information on the Work requested by City staff for its registration files
including but not limited to technical and post-installation maintenance
information in the format provided in Exhibit “D”, copyright registration
information, updated biographical information, and a descriptive statement
regarding the Work.
10. Documentation of Work. Artist shall provide to the City 20 high resolution
(300 dots per inch (“dpi”) minimum) professional quality digital images from
3
various angles documenting the final installed Work. Additional images of
not less than 3 megabit (200 dpi minimum) are required documenting the
processes of the Work’s fabrication and installation in Phases 2, 3 and 4 in
Exhibit “A”. No less than 20 images per each Phase is required. Artist shall
also provide City with a complete schedule for maintenance of the Work in
the form reflected in Exhibit “D” hereto.
11. Artist’s Representations and Warranties.
A. Work Free from Defects. The Artist represents and warrants to the City that
the fabrication and installation of the Work will be performed in a workman
like manner and that the Work will be free of defects in workmanship or
materials, including inherent vice (tendency in physical defects to
deteriorate because of the fundamental stability of the components of
which they are made), and that the Artist will, at the Artist’s own expense,
remedy any defects due to faulty workmanship or materials, which appear
within a period of three (3) years from the date the Work is finally accepted
by the City. The foregoing warranty is conditional, and shall be voided, by
the failure of the City to maintain the Work in accordance with the Artist’s
specifications and the applicable conservation standards. The foregoing
warranty also does not include repair of damage caused by external forces
such as weather and other Acts of God, vandalism, neglect, civil unrest,
war, riots, or acts of third parties outside the Artist’s control. Any and all
such repairs completed by the Artist shall be free of defects in material and
workmanship for the balance of the initial warranty period or ninety (90)
days, whichever is longer.
B. Restoration of Work Site. Artist agrees and warrants that, within 30
calendar days after the Work is accepted by the City, Artist shall restore
the Work site (including the entire area affected by the fabrication and
installation of the Work) to a state and condition that is substantially similar
to that which existed when the Work was begun. Artist further agrees and
warrants that, within the period specified herein, Artist shall repair or
replace, as is determined necessary by City, and to the reasonable
satisfaction of City, all property (real, personal, or otherwise), which has
been damaged, injured or otherwise adversely affected by the acts or
omissions of Artist, Artist’s agents, contractors, or employees. Artist shall
be solely responsible for all expenses and costs which may be necessary
to comply with the requirements of this paragraph, and City shall have no
responsibility or liability therefor.
C. Infringement and Copyright Indemnity. Artist warrants that the Work is
original and solely the product of Artist’s own creative effort and does not
infringe the rights, including copyrights, of any person or entity. Artist also
agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold city, its mayor and
councilmembers, officers, agents and employees harmless from any
action, claim, suit or liability based on a claim that work performed under
4
this Agreement by Artist, or Artist’s agents or Artist’s subcontractors,
constitutes an infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade
name, or other proprietary right of any party.
D. Originality of Work. Artist also warrants that, unless otherwise stipulated
in writing, the Work is original, that it is an edition of one (1), and that Artist
shall not sell, license, perform or reproduce a substantially similar copy of
the Work without the prior written consent of City. However, nothing
contained herein shall prevent the Artist from creating future works in
Artist’s style and manner of working. The Artist sh all not reference or
reproduce the Work, or any portion thereof, in a way which reflects poorly
upon, disparages, or discredits the City or the Work.
E. Maintenance. The Artist represents and warrants to the City that, except
as against force majeure, or acts of third parties, the Work will not require
maintenance substantially in excess of that described in the maintenance
recommendations, to be provided by the Artist to the City in the form of
Exhibit “D”.
F. Work Free from Hazards. The Artist represents and warrants to the City
that the Work will not contain sharp points or edges which the City deems
a danger to the public and agrees to cooperate in making or permitting
adjustments to the Work, if necessary, to eliminate any hazards which
become apparent within one (1) year of the date the Work is finally accepted
by the City. If the appearance of such hazards or the City’s determination
of a hazard does not relate to a breach of Artist’s warranty pursuant to
subsection A above, then the City shall compensate the Artist at rates to be
mutually agreed for the work to be performed pursuant to this subsection.
G. Liens or Encumbrances. The Artist represents and warrants to the City that
the Work is solely the result of the artistic efforts of the Artist and that it will
be installed free and clear of any liens, claims, or other encumbrances of
any type or from any source whatsoever.
H. Compliance with all Laws. In performing services under this Agreement,
Artist shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and
regulations, including without limitation applicable state and federal
occupational safety and health acts and regulations, and acquisition of all
licenses, permits, or approvals that are legally required for Artist to provide
any services under this Agreement.
I. Applicable Law: Any and all disputes arising under any contract resulting
from this Call or otherwise in connection with this Request for
Qualifications (RFQ), shall be governed according to the laws of the State
of Arizona, and the Respondent submitting an RFQ response agrees that
the venue for any action brought to enforce provisions of a contract
resulting from this Call shall be in the State of Arizona.

J. Non-waiver of Liability: The City, as a public entity supported by tax monies,
in execution of its public trust, cannot agree to waive any lawful or
legitimate right to recover monies lawfully due it. Therefore, any
Respondent submitting a Call response agrees that it will not insist upon or
demand any statement whereby the City agrees to limit in advance or waive
any right the City might have to recover actual lawful damages in any court
of law under applicable Arizona law.
Legal Worker Requirements:
The City is prohibited by A.R.S. § 41-4401 from awarding a contract to any
Respondent who fails, or whose subcontractors fail, to comply with A.R.S.
§ 23-214(A). Therefore, any Respondent that enters into a contract with the
City as a result of this Call agrees that:
1. The Respondent and each subcontractor it uses warrants their
compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to
their employees and their compliance with A.R.S. § 23-214, Subsection A.
2. A breach of warranty under paragraph 1 shall be deemed a material
breach of the contract and is subject to penalties up to and including
termination of the contract.
3. The City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of the Artist or
subcontractor employee(s) who work(s) on the contract to ensure that the
Respondent or subcontractor is complying with the warranty under
Paragraph 1.
K. Authority. Artist warrants that it has the full power to enter into and perform
this Agreement and to make the grant of rights contained in this
Agreement.
L. Survival. The representations and warranties in this section shall survive
the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.
12. Performance Made Impossible. In the event it shall become impossible for
the Artist to complete the Work because of illness or injury, this Agreement
may be terminated at the sole discretion of City, and, in such event, all
completed work, materials, and supplies related to the Work shall be
delivered to City and shall, along with the Final Design Proposal, become
City's sole property. City shall thereafter have no obligation to make any
additional or further payments to Artist, and Artist shall have no further or
additional claims against City with respect to the Work or such portion
thereof as may be completed, or the Final Design Proposal, or with respect
to any matter whatsoever pertaining to, affected by, or embodied in this
Agreement.
6
13. Acceptance of Work.
A. Title to the Work shall pass to the City upon written notice to the Artist of
the City’s final acceptance of the Work, including its installation. City
agrees to accept the completed Work unless:
(1) The Work was not completed in substantial conformance with
the Final Design Proposal or other requirements of Exhibit “B”;
or
(2) The Work as completed, or any portion thereof does not
conform to a reasonable standard of artistic or technical
quality. City shall provide its reasons for this finding to Artist
in writing no later than ten (10) calendar days after Artist has
tendered the Work to the City for City’s acceptance.
B. Upon the City’s refusal to accept the Work for the reasons stated in
Sections 13(A)(1) or 13(A)(2), City shall have the right to: 1) request that
Artist corrects the deficiencies in the Work within 40 calendar days; or 2)
terminate this Agreement and recover all sums previously paid to Artist.
Both remedies shall be independent and cumulative and in addition to any
other remedy available to the City at law or equity. Enforcement of one such
remedy shall not be exclusive, nor shall it be deemed an election of such
remedy to the exclusion of any other or further remedy. However, nothing
contained herein shall limit City’s available remedies at law and equity.
C. No payments to Artist shall be deemed as a waiver of City’s right to refuse
to accept the Work.
14. Transfer of Title to Work. Title to the Work shall remain with Artist until City
has accepted the Work as completed and it is installed to the satisfaction
of City except as otherwise indicated in Section 12 above. When City has
so certified and provided a written Letter of Acceptance, title shall transfer
to City. Artist shall bear all risk of loss of the Work until title has been
transferred to City, including obtaining any necessary insurance to insure
the Work, and City agrees to inspect Work and accept Work within thirty
(30) calendar days of Artist notification of completion, unless the provisions
of Section 13(A)(1) or 13(A)(2) apply.
15. City Maintenance of Work. Upon transfer of title of the Work to the City, City
agrees to reasonably ensure that the Work is properly maintained and
protected. City agrees that it will not intentionally destroy damage, alter,
modify, or change the Work in any way. If an alteration should occur, either
intentionally or unintentionally, the Work will no longer be represented as
the creation of the Artist without the Artist’s written permission. City shall
have the right to move or remove the Work from display or deaccession
(deaccession means to permanently take the art out of the collection), in
7
City’s sole determination. In the event it becomes necessary to change the
placement of the Work, City shall confer with Artist concerning placement,
although the ultimate placement of the Work is solely within the City’s
discretion.
16. Repair and Restoration of Work. The City shall make minor or emergency
repairs without the Artist’s approval or consultation, provided such repairs
or restoration work is performed to the satisfaction of the City. It is the
policy of City to consult with the Artist regarding repairs whi ch are
undertaken during the Artist’s lifetime when practical. To facilitate
consultation, the Artist will notify the City of any change in the Artist’s
permanent addresses. If the Artist is unable or unwilling to perform any
necessary repairs, the City will cause to have such work performed at the
City’s own expense. In the event repair of the Work is required, City may
give the Artist the opportunity to perform the repairs for a reasonable fee.
In the event Artist refuses to make the repairs for such fee, City may
arrange for repairs by another qualified person. When emergency repairs
are necessary to prevent the loss of or further damage to the Work, such
repairs shall be undertaken or arranged by City without advance notice to
Artist, and such repairs shall not constitute an artistic alteration. City shall
thereafter notify Artist as soon as is practical.
17. Work Authorship. Artist shall retain the copyright to the Work and the right
to claim authorship of the Work. City shall ensure that Artist’s name is
publicly displayed on, at, or, near the Work. In the event the Work is
substantially damaged or altered, City shall no longer represent the Work
to be the Work of Artist if Artist gives written notice to City that Artist denies
authorship of the Work on the grounds stated in this paragraph.
18. Artist Payment of Contractors and Employees. In the event Artist hires or
contracts with employees, subcontractors, or material suppliers, Artist
shall pay these employees, subcontractors, or material suppliers out of the
payments made to Artist by City for completion of the phase of work for
which the employees, subcontractors, or material suppliers provided labor
or materials and provide proof of payment to the City prior to completion of
the next phase of work. In the case of nonpayment of wages or other
amounts due the employees, subcontractors, or material suppliers herein,
City may withhold from Artist out of payments due a sum sufficient to pay
such persons the amounts owed by Artist absent evidence satisfactory to
the City of a legal basis for such nonpayment. All subcontractors shall be
properly licensed pursuant to the applicable law. Before performing any
work, each subcontractor shall provide to the City and Artist evidence that
the subcontractor has workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
19. Indemnity. Artist shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify City, its mayor,
councilmembers, agents, officers and employees, from and against any
and all claims, actions, damages, costs, liabilities, demands, losses,
8
judgments, penalties and expenses of every type and description,
including, but not limited to, any fees and/or costs reasonably incurred by
City’s staff attorneys or outside attorneys and any fees and expenses
incurred in enforcing this provision (hereafter collectively referred to as
“Claims”), including but not limited to Claims arising from personal injury or
death, damage to personal, real or intellectual property or the environment,
contractual or other economic damages, or regulatory penalties, that arise
out of, pertain to or relate to any negligent act or omission, recklessness or
willful misconduct of Artist, their subcontractors or agents, and their
respective officers and employees, in connection with performance of or
failure to perform this Agreement, whether or not such Claims are litigated,
settled or reduced to judgment; provided that the foregoing indemnity does
not apply to liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury
to property, or other loss, damage or expense to the extent arising from the
sole negligence or willful misconduct of City, its subcontractors or agents,
and their respective officers and employees. The existence or acceptance
by City of any of the insurance policies or coverages described in this
Agreement shall not affect or limit any of City’s rights under this section,
nor shall the limits of such insurance limit the liability of Artist. The
provisions of this section shall survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
20. Insurance. During the entire term of this Agreement, Artist shall maintain
the insurance coverage described in this section. Full compens ation for all
premiums that Artist is required to pay for the insurance coverage
described herein shall be included in the compensation paid to Artist under
this Agreement. No additional compensation will be provided for Artist’s
insurance premiums. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the
specified minimum limits and coverages shall be available to the City. It is

in any way be limited to or affected by the amount of insurance coverage
required or carried by the Artist in connection with this Agreement.

Artist shall notify the City Representative in writing of any change of mailing
address, email address and phone number. Failure to do so shall constitute

12
25. Excuse from Performance.
A. In the event Artist’s performance of any of its obligations or
undertakings under this Agreement are delayed, interrupted, or
prevented by an act of God, unforeseen conditions, unusually severe
weather, or occurrences that are beyond the control of the Parties to
this Agreement, Artist shall be excused from any further
performance for whatever period of time after the occurrence
necessary to remedy the effects of that occurrence. Artist shall notify
City in writing within ten (10) calendar days after any occurrence
described in this section that may delay Artist’s performance. City
shall amend the Project Schedule when, in its determination and sole
discretion, Artist’s performance has been excused, and the delay or
interruption has resulted in a material change in the time for
performance.
B. In the event the installation site is not adequately prepared for
receipt of the Work as scheduled, or delivery or installation is
delayed due to a material failure on the part of the City or its
subcontractors, then the City shall promptly act to address the
problem(s) identified by Artist. If such an event occurs, timelines for
performance by Artist shall be extended as needed in the sole
discretion of the city, provided, that none of the delays are caused in

site measurements, which shall be the sole responsibility of Artist.

connection with services performed under this Agreement without the prior
written permission of the City.

to the tax consequences associated with the payment of funds related to
this Agreement, and any determination related to this issue is the sole
responsibility of the Artist. Artist acknowledges consulting with its own tax
advisors regarding this transaction or having had an opportunity to do so
prior to signing this Agreement. Artist acknowledges the City cannot
provide advice regarding the tax consequences or implications for
payment made in exchange for the Work or related services.
28. Exhibits. All exhibits referenced in this Agreement are attached and are by
this reference incorporated as if set forth fully herein.
29. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any attachments represent the
entire agreement between City and Consultant and supersede all prior
negotiations, representations or agreements, either express or implied,
written or oral. It is mutually understood and agreed that no alteration or
13
variation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless
made in writing and signed by the Parties hereto. Written and signed
amendments shall automatically become part of the supporting
documents, and shall supersede any inconsistent provision therein;
provided, however, that any apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if
possible, by construing the provisions as mutually complementary and
supplementary.
30. Severability. City and Consultant each believe that the execution, delivery,
and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all applicable
laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Agreement is
declared void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City to do any
act in violation of any applicable laws, including any constitutional
provision, law, regulation, or city code), such provision shall be deemed
severed from this Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in
full force and effect; provided that this Agreement shall r etroactively be
deemed reformed to the extent reasonably possible in such a manner so
that the reformed agreement (and any related agreements effective as of
the same date) provide essentially the same rights and benefits (economic
and otherwise) to the Parties as if such severance and reformation were
not required. Unless prohibited by applicable laws, the Parties further shall
perform all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or deliver all amendments,
instruments, and consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect to
the purposes of this Agreement, as reformed.
31. Waiver. Neither City’s acceptance of, or payment for, any work performed
by Artist, nor any waiver by the Parties of any default, breach or condition
precedent, shall be construed as a waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, nor as a waiver of any other default, breach or condition
precedent or any other right hereunder. No waiver shall be effective unless
it is in writing and signed by the City.
32. Attorney Fees and Enforcement Thereof. Parties will bear their own costs
and attorney fees incurred in connection with this Agreement, and any
enforcement thereof.
33. Independent Contractor Status. The Artist is an independent contractor,
and no relationship of employer-employee shall exist between Artist and
the City for any purpose whatsoever. Artist shall not be entitled to any
benefits payable to employees of the City. Artist shall have no authority,
express or implied, to act on behalf of City in any capacity whatsoever as
agents or to bind City to any obligations whatsoever.
34. Enforcement of Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed, construed,
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona. Venue of
any litigation arising out of or connected with this Agreement shall lie
exclusively in the state trial court or located in Pinal County in the State of
14
Arizona, and the Parties consent to jurisdiction over their persons and over
the subject matter of any such litigation in such courts, and consent to
service of process issued by such courts. The Parties waive any rights to
change of venue.
35. Dispute Resolution. If any dispute is submitted to a third party for
resolution, all fees, expenses, and costs connected therewith shall be
borne jointly and equally by City and Artist. The previous sentence
notwithstanding, each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
36. Assignment/Delegation Prohibited. The expertise and experience of Artist
is a material consideration for this Agreement. Artist shall not
assign/delegate any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any
attempted or purported assignment/delegation shall be void and of no
effect and shall be considered a material breach of contract.
37. Binding Effect. All rights and obligations of Artist pursuant to this
Agreement shall be personal to Artist and shall terminate upon either the
legal disability or incompetence of Artist or upon the death of Artist, except
the rights provided to Artist under copyright laws.
38. Term; Termination.
A. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date set forth
on the first page of the Agreement and shall continue in effect until
the Parties have fully performed their respective obligations under
this Agreement, unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
B. City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by
giving a written notice of termination to Artist. If City gives such
notice of termination, Artist shall immediately cease rendering
services pursuant to this Agreement. If City terminates this
Agreement:
(1) Artist shall, not later than five (5) calendar days after such
notice of termination, deliver to City copies of all information
prepared pursuant to this Agreement.
(2) City shall pay Artist the reasonable value of services rendered
by Artist prior to termination; provided, however, City shall not
in any manner be liable for lost profits that might have been
made by Artist, had the Agreement not been terminated. In this
regard, Artist shall furnish to City such financial information
as, in the judgment of the City, is necessary for City to
determine the reasonable value of the services rendered by
Artist. The foregoing is cumulative and does not affect any
right or remedy that City may have in law or equity.
15
39. Conflict of Interest Statute: This Agreement is subject to, and may be
terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511.
40. Political Activities: Artist and Artist’s employees are prohibited from
engaging in any partisan political activity with respect to candidates for
local political office beyond the private expression of opinion, registering
as a member of a political party, circulating and signing nomination
petitions, soliciting any contributions in cash or services to support a
candidate, and voting in any special, primary or general election. Artist
shall not engage in any partisan political activity of any kind or solicit any
contribution in cash or services to support any candidate for public
office. If Artist or Artist employee engages in said activities, they shall
make it clear that they are doing so in their personal and private capacity.
In this section, “local political office” means the Mayor and Council offices
for the City of Apache Junction.

not be required to pay any part of such excess and Artist shall not have
any claim against City on account of any cost overruns. If the City

attributable to the modification will not be paid to the Artist.

Intrepid to an annual fee pursuant to Section 21.2.3 or Section 21.2.4 above (if
applicable), Intrepid will pay a prorated portion of the annual fee, as adjusted, per
linear foot for that section of its expanded route. The prorated annual fee shall be

10% of the performance bond value to cover construction failures that arise during
the one-year period after acceptance of the improvements.

thereof, with interest from the security fund account. Upon such withdrawal, City
shall notify Intrepid of the amounts and date thereof.

27.1 Generally. Intrepid acknowledges that it has liability for any and all of its
Facilities installed in the public ROW and for its use of the ROW and for its exercise
of its rights under this License and Agreement directly or through its Contractor(s),
except to the extent of intentional acts or gross negligence on the part of the City.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Intrepid, shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, or its agents, appointees, elected officials, and employees,
individually and collectively, from and against any and all Claims as defined in
Section 1 arising out of or alleged to have resulted from or materially related to the
acts, errors, mistakes, omissions of Intrepid, its employees, agents, or any tier of
Contractors or any other person for whose acts, errors, mistakes, or omissions
Intrepid may be legally liable and from any Claims or amounts arising or recovered
under workers compensation laws or any other law, bylaw, or ordinance, order or
decree related to any failure on the part of Intrepid, its agent, employees or
representatives to fulfill Intrepid's obligations under this Agreement, whether
resolution of the above Claim(s) proceeds to judgment or not. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. This indemnification applies
33
even if the party seeking damages makes a claim against the City or brings a claim
against the City based on vicarious liability or non-delegable duty.
27.2 Defense Costs. Intrepid further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
City, its agents, appointees, elected officials, and employees from and against all
costs, damages, and expenses incurred by the City, its agents, appointees, elected
officials, and employees in the defense of any litigation brought by third parties
challenging the right of the City to enter into this Agreement with Intrepid under City
or other applicable law.
27.3 Tender of Defense. In the event that any notice of claim is served or litigation
is commenced and serviced upon the City, City shall tender the defense of the
litigation to Intrepid, who shall immediately defend the litigation using legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to City. Intrepid shall have the right to retain counsel of its
own choice reasonably acceptable to City, to settle all or any part of the litigation on
terms acceptable to Intrepid (and, where such terms directly obligate or affect City,
acceptable to City). Intrepid agrees to keep the Apache Junction City Attorney
informed of the status and progress of all litigation involving the C ity that has been
tendered to Intrepid or its insurance carrier.
27.3.1 Notice. The Parties shall promptly notify each other in writing of any
claims, demands, or lawsuits which may involve the City and provide copies
of all relevant accident reports, incident reports, statements or other
documents relevant to or which may lead to relevant materials or information,
in the possession of the other party, its employees, agents, subcontractors,
and/or others, promptly upon request.
27.3.2 Relevant Information. Both Parties agree to make their employees,
agents, and Contractors available to the other party to gather any relevant
information relating to an incident in which claims, demands, or lawsuits arise
from.
27.4 Construction of Interpretation. It is the purpose of this section to provide
maximum indemnification to City under the terms and conditions expressed and, in
the event of a dispute, this section shall be construed (to the greatest extent
permitted by law) to provide for the indemnification of the City and others listed
above in Section 27.1 by Intrepid against any and all Claims. The sole exception shall
be an express determination by a court of competent jurisdiction upon full
adjudication of the case that the damages arose only from City's sole gross
negligence or intentional acts. Only in this event may Intrepid then commence an
action against City for damages related to that portion judicially determined to be
City's fault.
27.5 Survival. The provisions of Section 27 shall be and remain a binding right and
obligation of the City and Intrepid. It is the intent of Intrepid and the City upon the
effective date of this Agreement that this Section serves as any such declaration and
shall be a binding obligation of and inure to the benefit of Intrepid and the City and
34
their respective successors and assigns, if any. Any failure by Intrepid to indemnify
the City and others listed above in Section 27.1 as required under this Section 27
shall be considered a material breach of this License and Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Intrepid shall not be obligated to
indemnify the City on any provision of this Agreement that is later determined to be
invalid. Moreover, any provision of this Agreement that by their sense and context
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall also survive.
27.6 Insurance No Limit. The amount and type of insurance coverage
requirements set forth in this Agreement will in no way be construed as limiting the
scope of the indemnity in this Section 27.
27.7 Reformation. As a condition to Licensor's executing this Agreement, Intrepid
specifically agrees that to the extent any provision of this paragraph is not fully
enforceable against Intrepid for any reason whatsoever, this paragraph shall be
deemed automatically reformed to the minimal extent necessary to cause it to be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 28. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
28.1 Limitation. The City and its agents, appointees, elected officials and
employees, shall not be liable to Intrepid or to its affiliates or customers for any
interference with or disruption in the operations of Intrepid 's Fiber Optic Networks

to Intrepid's use of the ROW, except to the extent of intentional misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of the City its agents, appointees, elected officials or
employees.
28.2 No Liability for Agreement Enforcement. Intrepid also agrees that it shall
have no recourse whatsoever against the City or its agents, appointees, elected
officials, or employees for any loss, costs, expense or damages arising out of or
materially related to any provision or requirement of the City because of the
enforcement of this License and Agreement.
28.3 Assumption of Risk. Intrepid shall assume the risk of, and hereby

corporate control, or to the surviving entity in the event of a merger or acquisition of
35
Intrepid without City's prior consent. Intrepid shall however give notice to the City of
any such transfer or assignment.
29.3 Transfer or Assignment to Unrelated Entity. Any transfer or assignment
for reasons other than provided for in Section 29.2 above shall require the
City's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
or delayed provided that Intrepid agrees that it will provide reasonable
documentation about the proposed transfer or assignment, and (i) such
proposed transferee or assignee is demonstrated to the City’s reasonable
satisfaction to be legally, technically, and financially capable of performing
each, any, every duty and obligation it is required to perform in this Agreement
or (ii) in the case where there is change in the direct or indirect ownership of
Licensee and where the License remains with Licensee, Licensee
demonstrates to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that Licensee remains
legally, technically, and financially capable of performing each, any, every
duty and obligation under this Agreement.
29.4 Transfer or Assignment Conditions. In making a determination as to whether
to approve a transfer or assignment, the City may consider the following:
29.4.1 Whether Intrepid is in compliance with its License and Apache
Junction City Code and if not, the proposed transferee's commitment and
demonstrated legal, technical, or financial ability to cure such
noncompliance.
29.4.2 Whether the proposed transfer or assignment would result in an
evasion of other applicable provisions of law or impair lawful contracts.
29.4.3 The effect of the transfer or assignment on the City's interests.
29.5 Acceptance by Assignee. No application for a transfer or assignment of a
license shall be granted unless the proposed transferee or assignee agrees in
writing that it will abide by and accept all terms of the License and the Apache
Junction City Code and that it will assume all obligations, liabilities, and
responsibility for all acts and omissions, known and unknown, of Intrepid under
Chapter 31A of the Apache Junction City Code and this License for all purposes,
including renewal.
29.6 Approval not Waiver. Approval of the City of a transfer or assignment of this
License does not constitute a waiver or release of any of the rights of the City,
whether arising before or after the date of the transfer or assignment.
29.7 Transfer or Assignment Remedies. When consent is required, any transfer
or assignment without City's consent shall be void and shall not result in the
transferee or assignee obtaining any rights or interests in, under or related to this
License and Agreement. City may, in its sole discretion and in addition to all other
lawful remedies available to City under this Agreement or otherwise, and in any
36
combination, terminate this Agreement, collect any fees owed from Intrepid and/or
declare the transfer or assignment to be void, all without prejudicing any other right
or remedy of City under this Agreement. No cure or grace periods shall apply to
transfers or assignments prohibited by this Agreement or to enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement against an assignee who did not receive City's consent.
29.8 Transfer or Assignment Fee. Intrepid shall pay to City in advance the sum of
Three Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500) as a nonrefundable fee
for legal, administrative and other expenses related to every transfer (other than the
sale of publicly traded stock or transfer to any affiliate entity under common
corporate control or to the surviving entity in the event of a merger or acquisition of
Intrepid) or to any request for a consent to transfer or assignment, whether or not
City grants such request. Where such transfer fee is insufficient to allow the City to
fully fund the processing of such transfer or assignment request, Intrepid shall
deposit with the City such additional funds as may be required to complete the
processing of the transfer or assignment request.
29.9 Legal, Technical and Financial Capability. In the case where there is a
change in the direct or indirect ownership of Licensee, and where the License
remains with Licensee, Licensee must demonstrate to the City’s reasonable
satisfaction that Licensee independently is and remains legally, technically, and
financially capable of performing each, any, every duty and obligation under this
Agreement.
SECTION 30. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES
No person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement or shall have
any right or cause of action hereunder. City shall have no liability to third parties for
any approval of plans, Intrepid's construction of improvements, Intrepid's
negligence, Intrepid's failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement
(including any absence or inadequacy of insurance required to be ca rried by
Intrepid), or otherwise as a result of the existence of this Agreement.
SECTION 31. INTREPID'S RECORDS
31.1 Recordkeeping. During the entire term of this License and Agreement,
Intrepid shall keep records and provide information to City regarding the following:
31.1.1 The status of the construction, repair, location or relocation of
Intrepid's facilities.
31.1.2 Information relating to any Fiber Optic Networks on portions of the
route that are not exempt from a fee imposed for occupation of the ROW.
31.1.3 Information relating to this License and Agreement and/or to City's
or Intrepid's rights or obligations under this License and/or Agreement.
37
31.2 Record Form. Intrepid shall make available to City the requested reports or
records in the formats in which they are customarily prepared by Intrepid.
31.3 Inspection. If necessary for the City to determine Intrepid's compliance with
the terms of this License and Agreement or other applicable law, Intrepid shall
provide relevant documentation as requested by the Cit y and respond to questions
in a format and time period to be decided by the Parties based on the nature of the
request. Such records shall be available to City at Intrepid's offices in Maricopa
County, Arizona or delivered electronically as may be acceptab le to City. Intrepid
shall also require its employees, agents, and accountants to give their cooperation
and assistance in connection with City's access to such records.
31.3.1 Such documentation must include information on the type of
services Intrepid is offering its customers (but not necessarily information
disclosing any particular service being provided to a specific customer)
and/or the financial information used in calculating any payments or taxes due
to the City under this Agreement. If Intrepid determines that in order to
respond to City's request for documentation, it must reasonably provide
Proprietary Information, Intrepid shall so mark such documentation as
"Confidential."
31.3.2 Proprietary Information disclosed by Intrepid to the City or its
constituent departments shall be regarded as Proprietary as to third parties.
If the City receives a request to disclose such information, the City shall notify
Intrepid of such request and allow Intrepid a reasonable opportunity to defend
its information from disclosure.
31.3.3 Information that is already in the public domain shall not be
considered Proprietary Information. If public domain information is included
with Proprietary Information on the same document, the City shall only
disclose those portions within the public domain.
31.3.4 Notwithstanding any provision in this License, Intrepid
acknowledges and understands that the City is subject to the disclosure
requirements of Arizona's Public Records Law (A.R.S.§ 39-121 et. seq.).
31.4 Reports. Upon request and subject to any necessary confidentiality
requirements, Intrepid shall provide to City copies of any communications and
reports submitted by Intrepid to the FCC or any other federal or state regulatory
commission or agency having jurisdiction in respect to any matters directly affecting
enforcement of this Agreement.
SECTION 32. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF TERMS
32.1 Cumulative Remedies. City may pursue any remedy at law, including but not
limited to injunctive relief, civil trespass, and withholding other City permits and
authorizations until Intrepid complies with the terms of the License, Agreement or
38
the applicable law. Such remedies are cumulative and may be pursued in the
alternative.
32.2 No Special Damages. Neither party will be liable under this Agreement for
lost revenues or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive
damages, even if the party knew or should have known that such damages were
possible and even if direct damages do not satisfy a remedy.
SECTION 33. NOTICE OF VIOLATION; RIGHT TO CURE OR RESPOND
33.1 Notice of Violation. In the event that the City believes that Intrepid has not
complied with the terms of this Agreement, the City shall informally discuss the
matter with Intrepid. If these discussions do not lead to r esolution of the issue, the
City shall notify Intrepid in writing of the exact nature of the alleged non-compliance.
Intrepid shall have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the notice of violation:
33.1.1 to respond to the City, contesting the assertion of noncompliance;
33.1.2 to cure such default; or
33.1.3 if, by nature of default, such default cannot be cured within the thirty
(30) calendar day period, initiate reasonable steps to remedy such
default and notify the City of the steps.
33.2 Cure and Liquidated Damages. Intrepid understands and agrees that failure
to comply with any time and performance requirements in this Agreement or the
requirements of the Apache Junction City Code or other requirements under federal
or state law in instances in which any suc h non-compliance, and the ability to cure
the same, are solely within the control of Intrepid, will result in damage to the City,
and that it is and will be impracticable to determine the actual amount of such
damage in the event of delay or nonperformance; therefore, the Parties hereby
agree to the liquidated damages specified below for instances in which any such
non-compliance, and the ability to cure the same, are solely within the control of
Intrepid. The following amounts per day or part thereof may be chargeable to the
security fund for the following concerns:
33.2.1 Each failure to properly restore the ROW or to correct related
violations of specifications, code ordinance or standards within fifteen (15)
calendar days of having been notified by the City to correct such defects - Five
Hundred Dollars ($500) per day. Such amount is in addition to any cost the
City may incur to restore the ROW or correct the violation.
33.2.2 Each failure to make Intrepid's books and records available as
required by this Agreement and such failure continues for fifteen (15)
calendar days after receipt of notice of failure to provide from the City - Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250) per day.
39
33.2.3 Any unauthorized partial or total transfer or assignment of this
Agreement under Section 29.3 - One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per day but
no more than $30,000 for a single occurrence.
33.2.4 Each material instance of any action or non-action by Intrepid
contrary to the terms of this Agreement that is not cured after thirty (30)
calendar days' notice - Five Hundred Dollars ($500) per day.
33.2.5 Failure to provide a valid Certificate of Insurance as required by
Section 26.2.2 that is not cured after five (5) calendar days' notice - Fifty
Dollars ($50) per day.
33.3 Assessment. If the City Engineer concludes that Intrepid may be liable for
liquidated damages, the City Engineer shall issue to Intrepid a Notice of Intention to
Assess Liquidated Damages and allow Intrepid an opportunity to cure in the time
period specified in Sections 33.2.1 through 33.2.5. The Notice shall set forth the
nature of the violation and the amount of the proposed assessment. Intrepid shall
pay the liquidated damage amount within ten (10) business days of receipt or the
City shall deduct the amount from the security fund.
33.3.1 If, however, the liquidated damages exceed Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000), then the following shall apply:
33.3.2 Intrepid shall have thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such
notice to pay the liquidated damage amount or give City notice contesting the
assertion of noncompliance.
33.3.3 In the event that Intrepid contests the City's assertion of violation
or fails to respond to the City's notice of intent to assess liquidated damages,
City Manager shall schedule a hearing to determine whether the liquidated
damages were properly assessed. City shall provide Intrepid with at least five
(5) calendar days' notice of such hearing, which shall specify the time, place
and purpose of the hearing. At the hearing, Intrepid will be given the
opportunity to be heard and present evidence. If the result of the hearing is
that Intrepid is responsible for the liquidated damage amount, then the
amount determined at the hearing will be due ten (10) calendar days after the
hearing decision is announced.
33.3.4 Intrepid may appeal the outcome of the hearing to Pinal County
Superior Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-901. Such appeal must be taken
timely, otherwise, the outcome of the hearing shall be final and conclusive.
SECTION 34. REVOCATION/TERMINATION
34.1 Early Termination. The License granted hereunder may be revoked and/or
the Agreement terminated prior to its date of expiration by the City for the following
reasons:
40
34.1.1 Intrepid fails to comply with the material terms and conditions of
the Agreement or applicable law, including but not limited to failing to
maintain any insurance, security fund, letter of credit, and/or a performance
bond.
34.1.2 Intrepid fails to make payments in the amounts and at the time
specified in this Agreement after a final determination that the payments were
owed, including but not limited to transaction privilege taxes and business
licenses of Intrepid and its agents and contractors.
34.1.3 Intrepid ceases doing business in the City.
34.1.4 Intrepid fails to provide current, accurate as-built plans and maps
showing the location of all Facilities installed or constructed in the City.
34.1.5 Intrepid is or becomes insolvent or is a party to a voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, or receivership case or proceeding,
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is subject to other actions
by creditors that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the City, threaten
the financial viability of Intrepid as a going concern, or if there is any similar
action that affects Intrepid's capability to perform its obligations under this
License and/or Agreement.
34.1.6 Intrepid fails to obtain or maintain any licenses, permits, or other
governmental approvals pertaining to the ROW or timely pay any taxes
pertaining to the ROW.
34.1.7 A court has issued an injunction that in any way prevents or
restrains Intrepid's use of any portion of the ROW and remaining in force for a
period of at least thirty (30) consecutive calendar days.
34.2 Cure Period. Before terminating the Agreement under Sections 34.1.1,
34.1.2, 34.1.4, and 34.1.5, the City Manager or a designee, shall gi ve prior written
notice to Intrepid of the defect in performance and give Intrepid sixty (60) calendar
days within which to cure the defect in performance. If, by nature of the default
under 34.1.5 or 34.1.6, where such default cannot be cured within the 60-day period,
Intrepid shall have additional time as may be necessary to perform or comply as long
as Intrepid commences performance or compliance within such 60-day period and
diligently proceeds to cure such defect in performance; provided, however, tha t
such defect shall be cured within 90 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties
in writing.
34.3 Misconduct. The City need not provide a thirty (30) calendar day cure period
prior to termination if the City finds that the defect in performance under the
Agreement is due to intentional misconduct, is a violation of civil law or regulation
41
or criminal law, or is a part of a pattern of repeated and persistent violations where
Intrepid has already had notice and opportunity to cure.
34.4 Manager Authority. The City Manager has the authority to terminate, subject
to Intrepid's right to notice and cure where provided, this License and/or
Agreement.
34.5 Hearing Prior to Revocation of License. Prior to the revocation or refusal to
renew the License, the City will hold a hearing if requested by Intrepid.
34.6 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This License and/or Agreement may be
terminated prior to its date of expiration by Intrepid by providing the City with ninety
(90) calendar days written notice and only upon making arrangements satisfactory
with the City Engineer to remove all Intrepid's Facilities from public property and the
ROW, unless the City Engineer agrees in writing to allow Intrepid to abandon part or
all of its Facilities in place. If the City Engineer agrees to allow Intrepid to abandon
its Facilities in place, the ownership of such Facilities, including everything
permitted by City to be abandoned in place, shall transfer to City and Intrepid shall
cooperate to execute any documents necessary to accomplish such transfer within
thirty (30) calendar days of such allowance of abandonment.
34.7 Equipment Removal. Notwithstanding anything in Section 34.6 above, upon
termination of this Agreement, Intrepid shall remove all of its optical repeaters,
DWDM and CWDM multiplexers, and related equipment within thirty (30) calendar
days.
SECTION 35. NON-USE/ABANDONMENT OF THE FACILITIES
35.1 Removal or Abandonment. An "Abandoned Facility" will mean a Facility no
longer in service or physically disconnected from a portion of the operating Facility
or from any other Facility that is in use or still carries service. If Intrepid ceases to
provide services or abandons use of any of its Facilities, upon cancellation or
termination of the Agreement, Intrepid shall notify the City within thirty (30) calendar
days from the cancellation or termination notice date, and may, subject to the City's
approval, permanently abandon the Facilities in place. In such event, the City, at its
option, may acquire ownership of the Facilities . In lieu of permanent abandonment,
the City may require Intrepid, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City and without
cost or expense to the City, to promptly remove the Facilities and to restore the
public property and ROW to a reasonable condition under the supervision of the City.
35.2 City Property. Upon permanent abandonment, if the City does not require
removal, Intrepid shall submit to the City a proposal and instruments for transferring
ownership to the City. Any such Facilities, which are not removed as required by the
City within thirty (30) days of either such date of termination or cancellation or of the
date the City issued a permit authorizing removal, whichever is later, automatically
shall become the property of the City. Intrepid will notify the Arizona Blue Stake
Center to record the Facilities that have been abandoned.
42
35.3 Title to Property. Title to any and all personal property installed by Intrepid
upon the ROW that is not removed during the period set forth in Section 35.2 shall
automatically vest in City.
35.4 Ongoing Use. Nothing in Section 35.1 shall be deemed to require Intrepid to
remove Facilities that the Intrepid uses for the provision of services other than
Telecommunications Services or Interstate Telecommunications Services, so long
as such use of Facilities for the provisions of the ongoing other services is
authorized by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 36. CANCELLATION FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-511, City may cancel this Agreement within three (3) years
after its execution without penalty or further obligation if any person significantly
involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating this Agreement is,
at any time while the Agreement or an extension of the Agreement is in effect, an
employee or agent of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity or a
consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of
the Agreement. The cancellation shall be effective when Intrepid receives written
notice of the cancellation, unless the notice specifies a later time.
SECTION 37. GRATUITIES
City may, by written notice, terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, if City
determines that employment or a gratuity was offered or made by Intrepid or a
representative of Intrepid to any officer or employee of City for the purpose of
influencing the outcome of the procurement or securing the Agreement, an
amendment to the Agreement, or favorable treatment concerning the Agreement,
including the making of any determination or decision about Agreement
performance. City, in addition to any other rights or remedies, shall be entitled to
recover exemplary damages in the amount of three times the value of the gratuity
offered by Intrepid.
SECTION 38. CONDEMNATION
38.1 Generally. The following shall govern any condemnation of any part of or
interest in the area used and/or occupied by Intrepid and any conveyance to City or
another condemner in avoidance or settlement of condemnation or a threat of
condemnation:
38.1.1 Termination for Condemnation. This agreement shall terminate as
to the portion taken on the date that is the earlier of the date title vests in the
condemner, or the date upon which the condemner is let into possession.
38.1.2 Power to Condemn. Intrepid acknowledges that City and others
from time to time may sue and exercise its power to condemn the area used
by Intrepid or any interest therein or rights thereto.
43
38.1.2.1 City reserves the right of condemnation or eminent
domain over the area used and/or occupied by Intrepid. City does not
warrant that it will not condemn the area(s) used and/or occupied by
Intrepid during the term of this Agreement, but City does not presently
have intentions to condemn such area(s).
38.1.2.2 City also reserves the right through its powers of eminent
domain to acquire all or any portion of the Facilities owned by Intrepid
in accordance with the applicable conditions set forth in the Arizona
Revised Statutes. However, under no circumstances shall any valuation
be made for any right or privilege granted by this Agreement should the
City acquire the property of Intrepid.

Highways and the use of them by providers of telecommunications services must be

the terms of any agreement with other similarly situated providers shall, taken as a
whole, be competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory when compared to this
Agreement.
SECTION 42. PARTIAL INVALIDITY
If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase or provision of this Agreement
shall be adjudged invalid or unenforceable, or is preempted by federal or state laws
or regulations, the same shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole or
any part of the provisions of this Agreement other than the part adjudged to be
invalid, unenforceable or preempted.
45
SECTION 43. NO WARRANTY
43.1 As to License. The issuance of a license, permit or other authorization by the
City is not a representation or warranty that such license, permit, or authorization is
a legally sufficient substitute for a franchise, and is not a representation of warranty
that a franchise is not required.
43.2 As to ROW. Intrepid acknowledges and agrees that City does not warrant the
condition or safety of its ROW or the premises surrounding the same, and Intrepid
hereby assumes all risks of any damage, injury or loss of any nature whatsoever
caused by or in connection with the use of any City ROW.
SECTION 44. NON-WAIVER
Neither party shall be excused from complying with any of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement by any failure of the other party upon any one or more occasions
to insist upon or to seek compliance with any such terms or conditions.
SECTION 45. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE
The remedies set forth in this License and Agreement are not exclusive. Election of
one remedy does not preclude the use of other remedies.
SECTION 46. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither City nor Intrepid, as the case may be, shall be considered not to have
performed its obligations under this Agreement in th e event of enforced delay (an
“Enforced Delay”) due to causes beyond its control and without its fault or
negligence or failure to comply with Applicable Laws, including, but not restricted
to, acts of God, fires, floods, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine, restrictions,
embargoes, labor disputes, and unusually severe weather or the delays of
subcontractors or materialmen due to such causes, acts of a public enemy, war,
terrorism or act of terror (including but not limited to bio-terrorism or eco-terrorism),
nuclear radiation, blockade, insurrection, riot, labor strike or interruption, extortion,
sabotage, or similar occurrence or any exercise of the power of eminent domain any
governmental body on behalf of any public entity, or a declaration of moratorium or
similar hiatus directly affecting the Project (whether permanent or temporary) by
any public entity. In no event will Enforced Delay include any delay resulting from
general economic or market conditions, unavailability for any reason of particular
tenants or purchasers of portions of the Project, labor shortages, unavailability of
financing, or the unavailability for any reason of particular contractors,
subcontractors, vendors, investors or lenders desired by Intrepid in connection with
the Project. Intrepid agrees that Intrepid alone will bear all risks of delay which are
not Enforced Delay. In the event of the occurrence of any such Enforced Delay, the
time or times for performance of the obligations of the Party claiming delay shall be
extended for a period of the Enforced Delay; provided, however, that the Party
seeking the benefit of the provisions of this Section shall, within thirty (30) calendar
46
days after such Party knows or should know of any such Enforced Delay, first notify

the period of the Enforced Delay; and provided further that in no event shall a period
of Enforced Delay exceed ninety (90) calendar days.
SECTION 47. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event of a dispute between the Parties to this Agreement regarding a provision
of this Agreement, a Party's performance of its obligations as stated in this
Agreement or any other matter governed by the terms of this Agreement, the Parties
will meet in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the Parties fail to resolve
the dispute, then the Parties may agree that the dispute may be resolved through
mediation. If mediation is agreed to by the disputing Parties, the disputing Parties
shall mutually agree upon the services of one mediator whose fees and expenses
shall be borne equally by the disputing Parties. If the dispute is not resolved within a
reasonable time, the disputing Parties shall be free to use other remedies such as
litigation to resolve the dispute.
SECTION 48. EXHIBITS
All Exhibits referred to in this Agreement and any addenda, attachments, and
schedules which may, from time to time, be referred to in any duly executed
amendment to this Agreement are by such reference incorporated in this
Agreement and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement.
SECTION 49. SURVIVAL OF LIABILITY
All obligations of Intrepid and City hereunder and all warranties and indemnities of
Intrepid hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 50. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement and any attachments represent the entire agreement between City
and Intrepid and supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements,
either express or implied, written or oral. It is mutually understood and agreed that
no alteration or variation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be valid
unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Written and signed
amendments shall automatically become part of the supporting documents, and
shall supersede any inconsistent provision therein; provided, however, that any
apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if possible, by construing the provisions
as mutually complementary and supplementary.
SECTION 51. MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT
This Agreement cannot be modified or amended except in writing signed by both
Parties and approved by the city council.
47
SECTION 52. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each provision hereof. Any delay in
performance by either Party shall constitute a material breach unless excused by
Enforced Delays/Force Majeure as described in Section 46.
SECTION 53. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH LICENSEES WHO ENGAGES IN
BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
The Parties acknowledge A.R.S. §§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which
forbids public entities from contracting with Licensees who engage in boycotts of
the State of Israel. Should Licensee under this Agreement engage in any such
boycott against the State of Israel, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically
terminated by operation of law. Any such boycott is a material breach of contract.

publicly traded stock or transfer to any affiliate entity under common corporate
control or to the surviving entity in the event of a merger or acquisition of Wyyerd
Fiber) or to any request for a consent to transfer, whether or not City grants such
request. Where such transfer fee is insufficient to allow the City to fully fund the
processing of such transfer request, Wyyerd Fiber shall deposit with the City such
additional funds as may be required to complete the processing of the transfer
request.
29.9 Legal, Technical and Financial Capability. In the case where there is a
change in the direct or indirect ownership of Licensee, and where the License
remains with Licensee, Licensee must demonstrate to the City’s reasonable
satisfaction that Licensee independently is and remains legally, technically, and
37
financially capable of performing each, any, every duty and obligation under this
Agreement.
SECTION 30. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES
No person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement or shall have
any right or cause of action hereunder. City shall have no liability to third parties for
any approval of plans, Wyyerd Fiber's construction of improvements, Wyyerd Fiber's
negligence, Wyyerd Fiber's failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement
(including any absence or inadequacy of insurance required to be carried by Wyyerd
Fiber), or otherwise as a result of the existence of this Agreement.
SECTION 31. ZONA WYYERD'S RECORDS
31.1 Recordkeeping. During the entire term of this License and Agreement,
Wyyerd Fiber shall keep records and provide information to City regarding the
following:

or Wyyerd Fiber's rights or obligations under this License and/or Agreement.
31.2 Record Form. Wyyerd Fiber shall make available to City the requested
reports or records in the formats in which they are customarily prepared by Wyyerd
Fiber.
31.3 Inspection. If necessary for the City to determine Wyyerd Fiber's compliance
with the terms of this License and Agreement or other applicable law, Wyyerd Fiber
shall provide relevant documentation as requested by the City and respond to
questions in a format and time period to be decided by the Parties based on the
nature of the request. Such records shall be available to City at Wyyerd Fiber's
offices in Maricopa County, Arizona or delivered electronically as may be
acceptable to City. Wyyerd Fiber shall also require its employees, agents, and
accountants to give their cooperation and assistance in connection with City's
access to such records.
31.3.1 Such documentation must include information on the type of
services Wyyerd Fiber is offering its customers (but not necessarily
information disclosing any particular service being provided to a specific
customer) and/or the financial information used in calculating any payments
or taxes due to the City under this Agreement. If Wyyerd Fiber determines that
in order to respond to City's request for documentation, it must reasonably
38
provide Proprietary Information, Wyyerd Fiber shall so mark such
documentation as "Confidential."
31.3.2 Proprietary Information disclosed by Wyyerd Fiber to the City or its
constituent departments shall be regarded as Proprietary as to third parties.
If the City receives a request to disclose such information, the City shall notify
Wyyerd Fiber of such request and allow Wyyerd Fiber a reasonable
opportunity to defend its information from disclosure.
31.3.3 Information that is already in the public domain shall not be
considered Proprietary Information. If public domain information is included
with Proprietary Information on the same document, the City shall only
disclose those portions within the public domain.
31.3.4 Notwithstanding any provision in this License, Wyyerd Fiber
acknowledges and understands that the City is subject to the disclosure
requirements of Arizona's Public Records Law (A.R.S.§ 39-121 et. seq.).
31.4 Reports. Upon request and subject to any necessary confidentiality
requirements, Wyyerd Fiber shall provide to City copies of any communications and
reports submitted by Wyyerd Fiber to the FCC or any other federal or state
regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction in respect to any matters
directly affecting enforcement of this Agreement.
SECTION 32. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF TERMS
32.1 Cumulative Remedies. City may pursue any remedy at law, including but not
limited to injunctive relief, civil trespass, and withholding other City permits and
authorizations until Wyyerd Fiber complies with the terms of the License, Agreement
or the applicable law. Such remedies are cumulative and may be pursued in the
alternative.
32.2 No Special Damages. Neither party will be liable under this Agreement for
lost revenues or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive
damages, even if the party knew or should have known that such damages were
possible and even if direct damages do not satisfy a remedy.
SECTION 33. NOTICE OF VIOLATION; RIGHT TO CURE OR RESPOND
33.1 Notice of Violation. In the event that the City believes that Wyyerd Fiber has
not complied with the terms of this Agreement, the City shall informally discuss the
matter with Wyyerd Fiber. If these discussions do not lead to resolution of the issue,
the City shall notify Wyyerd Fiber in writing of the exact nature of the alleged non-
compliance. Wyyerd Fiber shall have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the
notice of violation:
33.1.1 to respond to the City, contesting the assertion of noncompliance;
39
33.1.2 to cure such default; or
33.1.3 if, by nature of default, such default cannot be cured within the
thirty (30) calendar day period, initiate reasonable steps to remedy such
default and notify the City of the steps
33.2 Cure and Liquidated Damages. Wyyerd Fiber understands and agrees that
failure to comply with any time and performance requirements in this Agreement or
the requirements of the Apache Junction City Code or other requirements under
federal or state law in instances in which any such non-compliance, and the ability
to cure the same, are solely within the control of Wyyerd Fiber, will result in damage
to the City, and that it is and will be impracticable to determine the actual amount of
such damage in the event of delay or nonperformance; therefore, the Parties her eby
agree to the liquidated damages specified below for instances in which any such
non-compliance, and the ability to cure the same, are solely within the control of
Wyyerd Fiber. The following amounts per day or part thereof may be chargeable to
the security fund for the following concerns:
33.2.1 Each failure to properly restore the ROW or to correct related
violations of specifications, code ordinance or standards within fifteen (15)
calendar days of having been notified by the City to correct such defects - Five
Hundred Dollars ($500) per day. Such amount is in addition to any cost the
City may incur to restore the ROW or correct the violation.
33.2.2 Each failure to make Wyyerd Fiber's books and records available
as required by this Agreement and such failure continues for fifteen (15)
calendar days after receipt of notice of failure to provide from the City - Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250) per day.
33.2.3 Any unauthorized partial or total transfer or assignment of this
Agreement under Section 29.3 - One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per day but
no more than $30,000 for a single occurrence.
33.2.4 Each material instance of any action or non-action by Wyyerd Fiber
contrary to the terms of this Agreement that is not cured after thirty (30)
calendar days' notice - Five Hundred Dollars ($500) per day.
33.2.5 Failure to provide a valid Certificate of Insurance as required by
Section 26.2.2 that is not cured after five (5) calendar days' notice - Fifty
Dollars ($50) per day.
33.3 Assessment. If the City Engineer concludes that Wyyerd Fiber may be liable
for liquidated damages, the City Engineer shall issue to Wyyerd Fiber a Notice of
Intention to Assess Liquidated Damages and allow Wyyerd Fiber an opportunity to
cure in the time period specified in Sections 33.2.1 through 33.2.5. The Notice shall
set forth the nature of the violation and the amount of the proposed assessment.
40
Wyyerd Fiber shall pay the liquidated damage amount within ten (10) business days
of receipt or the City shall deduct the amount from the security fund.
33.3.1 If, however, the liquidated damages exceed Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000), then the following shall apply:
33.3.2 Wyyerd Fiber shall have thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of such
notice to pay the liquidated damage amount or give City notice contesting the
assertion of noncompliance.
33.3.3 In the event that Wyyerd Fiber contests the City's assertion of
violation or fails to respond to the City's notice of intent to assess liquidated
damages, City Manager shall schedule a hearing to determine whether the
liquidated damages were properly assessed. City shall provide Wyyerd Fiber
with at least five (5) calendar days' notice of such hearing, which shall specify
the time, place and purpose of the hearing. At the hearing, Wyyerd Fiber will
be given the opportunity to be heard and present evidence. If the result of the
hearing is that Wyyerd Fiber is responsible for the liquidated damage amount,
then the amount determined at the hearing will be due ten (10) calendar days
after the hearing decision is announced.
33.3.4 Wyyerd Fiber may appeal the outcome of the hearing to Pinal
County Superior Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-901. Such appeal must be
taken timely, otherwise, the outcome of the hearing shall be final and
conclusive.
SECTION 34. REVOCATION/TERMINATION
34.1 Early Termination. The License granted hereunder may be revoked and/or
the Agreement terminated prior to its date of expiration by the City for the following
reasons:
34.1.1 Wyyerd Fiber fails to comply with the material terms and conditions
of the Agreement or applicable law, including but not limited to failing to
maintain any insurance, security fund, letter of credit, and/or a performance
bond.
34.1.2 Wyyerd Fiber fails to make payments in the amounts and at the time
specified in this Agreement after a final determination that the p ayments were
owed, including but not limited to transaction privilege taxes and business
licenses of Wyyerd Fiber and its agents and contractors.
34.1.3 Wyyerd Fiber ceases doing business in the City.
34.1.4 Wyyerd Fiber fails to provide current, accurate as-built plans and
maps showing the location of all Facilities installed or constructed in the City.
41
34.1.5 Wyyerd Fiber is or becomes insolvent or is a party to a voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, or receiv ership case or proceeding,
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is subject to other actions
by creditors that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the City, threaten
the financial viability of Wyyerd Fiber as a going concern, or if there is any
similar action that affects Wyyerd Fiber's capability to perform its obligations
under this License and/or Agreement.
34.1.6 Wyyerd Fiber fails to obtain or maintain any licenses, permits, or
other governmental approvals pertaining to the ROW or timely pay any taxes
pertaining to the ROW.
34.1.7 A court has issued an injunction that in any way prevents or
restrains Wyyerd Fiber's use of any portion of the ROW and remaining in force
for a period of at least thirty (30) consecutive calendar days.
34.2 Cure Period. Before terminating the Agreement under Sections 34.1.1,
34.1.2, 34.1.4, and 34.1.5, the City Manager or a designee, shall give prior written
notice to Wyyerd Fiber of the defect in performance and give Wyyerd Fiber sixty (60)
calendar days within which to cure the defect in performance. If, by nature of the
default under 34.1.5 or 34.1.6, where such default cannot be cured within the 60-day
period, Wyyerd Fiber shall have additional time as may be necessary to perform or
comply as long as Wyyerd Fiber commences performance or compliance within
such 60-day period and diligently proceeds to cure such defect in performance;
provided, however, that such defect shall be cured within 90 days, unless otherwise
agreed to by the Parties in writing.
34.3 Misconduct. The City need not provide a thirty (30) calendar day cure period
prior to termination if the City finds that the defect in performance under the
Agreement is due to intentional misconduct, is a violation of civil law or regulation
or criminal law or is a part of a pattern of repeated and persistent violations where
Wyyerd Fiber has already had notice and opportunity to cure.
34.4 Manager Authority. The City Manager has the authority to terminate, subject
to Wyyerd Fiber's right to notice and cure where provided, this License and/or
Agreement.
34.5 Hearing Prior to Revocation of License. Prior to the revocation or refusal to
renew the License, the City will hold a hearing if requested by Wyyerd Fiber.
34.6 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This License and/or Agreement may be
terminated prior to its date of expiration by Wyyerd Fiber by providing the City with
ninety (90) calendar days written notice and only upon making arrangements
satisfactory with the City Engineer to remove all Wyyerd Fiber's Facilities from
public property and the ROW, unless the City Engineer agrees in writing to allow
Wyyerd Fiber to abandon part or all of its Facilities in place. If the City Engineer
agrees to allow Wyyerd Fiber to abandon its Facilities in place, the ownership of
42
such Facilities, including everything permitted by City to be abandoned in place,
shall transfer to City and Wyyerd Fiber shall cooperate to execute any documents
necessary to accomplish such transfer within thirty (30) calendar days of such
allowance of abandonment.
34.7 Equipment Removal. Notwithstanding anything in Section 34.6 above, upon
termination of this Agreement, Wyyerd Fiber shall remove all of its optical repeaters,
DWDM and CWDM multiplexers, and related equipment within thirty (30) calendar
days.
SECTION 35. NON-USE/ABANDONMENT OF THE FACILITIES
35.1 Removal or Abandonment. An "Abandoned Facility" will mean a Facility no
longer in service or physically disconnected from a portion of the operating Facility
or from any other Facility that is in use or still carries service. If Wyyerd Fiber ceases
to provide services or abandons use of any of its Facilities, upon cancellation or
termination of the Agreement, Wyyerd Fiber shall notify the City within thirty (30)
calendar days from the cancellation or termination notice date, and may, subject to
the City's approval, permanently abandon the Facilities in place. In such event, the
City, at its option, may acquire ownership of the Facilities. In lieu of permanent
abandonment, the City may require Wyyerd Fiber, to the reasonable satisfaction of
the City and without cost or expense to the City, to promptly remove the Facilities
and to restore the public property and ROW to a reasonable condition under the
supervision of the City.
35.2 City Property. Upon permanent abandonment, if the City does not require
removal, Wyyerd Fiber shall submit to the City a proposal and instruments for
transferring ownership to the City. Any such Facilities, which are not removed as
required by the City within thirty (30) days of either such date of termination or
cancellation or of the date the City issued a permit authorizing removal, whichever
is later, automatically shall become the property of the City. Wyyerd Fiber will notify
the Arizona Blue Stake Center to record the Facilities that have been abandoned.
35.3 Title to Property. Title to any and all personal property installed by Wyyerd
Fiber upon the ROW that is not removed during the period set forth in Section 35.2
shall automatically vest in City.
35.4 Ongoing Use. Nothing in Section 35.1 shall be deemed to require Wyyerd
Fiber to remove Facilities that the Wyyerd Fiber uses for the provision of services
other than Telecommunications Services or Interstate Telecommunications
Services, so long as such use of Facilities for the provisions of the ongoing other
services is authorized by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 36. CANCELLATION FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-511, City may cancel this Agreement within three (3) years
after its execution without penalty or further obligation if any person significantly
43

at any time while the Agreement or an extension of the Agreement is in effect, an
employee or agent of any other party to this Agreement in any capacity or a
consultant to any other party of this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of
the Agreement. The cancellation shall be effective when Wyyerd Fiber receives
written notice of the cancellation unless the notice specifies a later time.
SECTION 37. GRATUITIES
City may, by written notice, terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, if City
determines that employment or a gratuity was offered or made by Wyyerd Fiber or a
representative of Wyyerd Fiber to any officer or employee of City for the purpose of
influencing the outcome of the procurement or securing the Agreement, an
amendment to the Agreement, or favorable treatment concerning the Agreement,
including the making of any determination or decision about Agreement
performance. City, in addition to any oth er rights or remedies, shall be entitled to
recover exemplary damages in the amount of three times the value of the gratuity
offered by Wyyerd Fiber.

to the portion taken on the date that is the earlier of the date title vests in the
condemner, or the date upon which the condemner is let into possession.

others from time to time may sue and exercise its power to condemn the area
used by Wyyerd Fiber or any interest therein or rights thereto.

domain over the area used and/or occupied by Wyyerd Fiber. City does

presently have intentions to condemn such area(s).
38.1.2.2 City also reserves the right through its powers of eminent
domain to acquire all or any portion of the Facilities owned by Wyyerd

invalid, unenforceable or preempted.
SECTION 43. NO WARRANTY
43.1 As to License. The issuance of a license, permit or other authorization by the
City is not a representation or warranty that such license, permit, or authorization is

SECTION 45. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE
The remedies set forth in this License and Agreement are not exclusive. Election of

SECTION 46. FORCE MAJEURE

reason of particular consultants, subcontractors,vendors or investors desired by Contractor in
connection with the Work. Contractor agrees that Contractor alone will bear all risks of delay
which are not Enforced Delay. In the event of the occurrence of any such Enforced Delay, the
time or times for performance of the obligations of the Party claiming delay shall be extended for

Part 1: Executive Summary
Project Overview
Introduction
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and
technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector
entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect
more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across
disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their
communities.
Project Goals
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles
and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler
and the City of Apache Junction (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project are to:
Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget
Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive
Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs
Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
Streamlining business processes through automation, integration, and workflows
Provide a user-friendly user interface to promote system use and productivity
Methodology
This is accomplished by the City of Apache Junction and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its
depth of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage
methodology. Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes
a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility
matrix.
Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance
Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective
communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across
Phases, and is scaled to meet the City of Apache Junction’s complexity and organizational needs.
Exhibit 2
City of Apache Junction
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the City of Apache Junction and Tyler commit to
including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the
City of Apache Junction and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying
principle of Tyler’s Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the City of Apache
Junction’s business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the
project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As
illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to
complete the Project efficiently and effectively.

Part 2: Project Foundation
Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of
Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This
allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project
related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the
Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to
accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change
Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement
of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation
which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the
governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate &
Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City of Apache Junction
collaborate to resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not
possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation
management and the City of Apache Junction Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage
responses prior to escalation to the City of Apache Junction and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the
escalation process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to
facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City of Apache Junction and Tyler executive sponsors
serve as the final escalation point.

Project Scope Control
Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the “triple constraints” or project management
triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the
work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is
simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle,
the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased,
cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain
cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this
triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall
Scope.
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level
of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using
the change control process outlined in the following section.
Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new
constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that
Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change to produce optimal results for stakeholders.
Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract,
and as described below.
Change Request Management
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the
change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will
occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes
may result in less cost to the City of Apache Junction; for example, the City of Apache Junction may decide it
Exhibit 2
City of Apache Junction
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
no longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following
information:
The nature of the change.
A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the City of Apache Junction, if
any.
The timetable for implementing the change.
The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
The City of Apache Junction will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request
within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the City of Apache
Junction). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in
writing using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of
Work and will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.

Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will
vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success
of the Project that each City of Apache Junction office or department designates specific individuals for
making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City of Apache Junction will identify representative project managers. These individuals will
represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining City of Apache Junction feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be
critical to the success of the Project. The City of Apache Junction project manager will strive to gain
deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized City of Apache Junction representatives. Given that the
designated decision-maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated
proxy for each decision point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the
leadership from each City of Apache Junction department. The proxies will be named individuals that have
the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
The City of Apache Junction shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as
otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point.
If the City of Apache Junction does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5)
business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler
deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
If the City of Apache Junction does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements,
the City of Apache Junction shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within five
(5) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of
receipt of the Deliverable.
Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City of Apache
Junction shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control
Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the City
of Apache Junction does not provide acceptance within two (2) business days, or the otherwise
agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control
Point as accepted.
Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the City of Apache Junction
and Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the
City of Apache Junction, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on
both the Tyler and City of Apache Junction project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some
roles to be filled by multiple people.
Tyler Roles & Responsibilities
Tyler assigns a project manager prior to the start of each Phase of the Project (some Projects may only be one
Phase in duration). Additional Tyler resources are assigned as the schedule develops and as needs arise.

Part 3: Project Plan
Project Stages
Work Breakdown Structure
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical representation of a Project or Phase broken down into
smaller, more manageable components. The top-level components are called “Stages” and the second level
components are called “Work Packages”. The work packages, shown below each stage, contain the high-level
work to be done. The detailed Project Schedule, developed during Project/Phase Planning and finalized during
subsequent stages, lists the tasks to be completed within each work package. Each stage ends with a “Control
Point”, confirming the work performed during that stage of the Project has been accepted by the City of
Apache Junction.
*Items noted with an asterisk in the graphic above relate to specific products and services. If those products and services are not included in the scope
of the contract, these specific work packages will be noted as “Intentionally Left Blank” in Section 6 of the Statement of Work.

Initiate and Plan
The Initiate and Plan stage involves Project initiation, infrastructure, and planning. This stage creates a
foundation for the Project by identifying and establishing sequence and timing for each Phase as well as
verifying scope for the Project. This stage will be conducted at the onset of the Project, with a few unique
items being repeated for the additional Phases as needed.
Initial Coordination
Prior to Project commencement, Tyler management assigns project manager(s). Additional Project resources
will be assigned later in the Project as a Project schedule is developed. Tyler provides the City of Apache
Junction with initial Project documents used to gather names of key personnel, their functional role as it
pertains to the Project, as well as any blackout dates to consider for future planning. the City of Apache
Junction gathers the information requested by the provided deadline ensuring preliminary planning and
scheduling can be conducted moving the Project forward in a timely fashion. Internally, the Tyler Project
Manager(s) coordinate with sales to ensure transfer of vital information from the sales process prior to
scheduling a Project Planning Meeting with the City of Apache Junction’s team. During this step, Tyler will
work with the City of Apache Junction to establish the date(s) for the Project and Phase Planning session.
Objectives:
Formally launch the project.
Establish project governance.
Define and communicate governance for Tyler.
Identify City of Apache Junction project team.

Project/Phase Planning
Project and Phase planning provides an opportunity to review the contract, software, data conversions and
services purchased, identify applications to implement in each Phase (if applicable), and discuss
implementation timeframes.
During this work package Tyler will work with the City of Apache Junction to coordinate and plan a formal
Project planning meeting(s). This meeting signifies the start of the Project and should be attended by all City
of Apache Junction Project team members and the Tyler Project Manager. The meeting provides an
opportunity for Tyler to introduce its implementation methodology, terminology, and Project management
best practices to the City of Apache Junction’s Project Team. This will also present an opportunity for project
managers and Project sponsors to begin to discuss Project communication, metrics, status reporting and tools
to be used to measure Project progress and manage change.
Tyler will work with the City of Apache Junction Project Team to prepare and deliver the Project Management
Plan as an output of the planning meeting. This plan will continue to evolve and grow as the Project
progresses and will describe how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled.
During project planning, Tyler will introduce the tools that will be used throughout the implementation. Tyler
will familiarize the City of Apache Junction with these tools during project planning and make them available
for review and maintenance as applicable throughout the project. Some examples are Solution validation
plan, issue log, and go-live checklist.

Assess & Define
The Assess & Define stage will provide an opportunity to gather information related to current City of Apache
Junction business processes. This information will be used to identify and define business processes utilized
with Tyler software. The City of Apache Junction collaborates with Tyler providing complete and accurate
information to Tyler staff and assisting in analysis, understanding current workflows and business processes.
Solution Orientation
The Solution Orientation provides the Project stakeholders a high-level understanding of the solution
functionality prior to beginning the current and future state analysis. The primary goal is to establish a
foundation for upcoming conversations regarding the design and configuration of the solution.
Tyler utilizes a variety of tools for the Solution Orientation, focusing on City of Apache Junction team
knowledge transfer such as: eLearning, documentation, or walkthroughs. The City of Apache Junction team
will gain a better understanding of the major processes and focus on data flow, the connection between
configuration options and outcome, integration, and terminology that may be unique to Tyler’s solution.
Objectives:
Provide a basic understanding of system functionality.
Prepare the City of Apache Junction for current and future state analysis.

Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides the Project stakeholders and Tyler an understanding of process
changes that will be achieved with the new system.
The City of Apache Junction and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software,
pros and cons of each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state
configuration and processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work
Exhibit 2

package. The options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will
make use of standard Tyler functionality.
The City of Apache Junction will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule
and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is the City of Apache Junction’s responsibility to
verify that in-scope requirements are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements
are defined as part of the contract. The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification
to the product is required:
A reasonable business process change is available.
Functionality exists which satisfies the requirement.
Configuration of the application satisfies the requirement.
An in-scope modification satisfies the requirement.
Requirements that are not met will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on
the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.

Conversion Assessment
Data Conversions are a major effort in any software implementation. Tyler’s conversion tools facilitate the
predictable, repeatable conversion process that is necessary to support a successful transition to the Tyler
system. The first step in this process is to perform an assessment of the existing (“legacy”) system(s), to
better understand the source data, risks, and options available. Once the data has been analyzed, the plan for
data conversion is completed and communicated to the appropriate stakeholders.
Objectives:
Communicate a common understanding of the project goals with respect to data.
Ensure complete and accurate source data is available for review/transfer.
Map the data from the source to the Tyler system.
Document the data conversion/loading approach.

Conversion Delivery
The purpose of this task is to transition the City of Apache Junction’s data from their source (“legacy”)
system(s) to the Tyler system(s). The data will need to be mapped from the legacy system into the new Tyler
system format. A well-executed data conversion is key to a successful cutover to the new system(s).
With guidance from Tyler, the City of Apache Junction will review specific data elements within the system
and identify / report discrepancies. Iteratively, Tyler will collaborate with the City of Apache Junction to
address conversion discrepancies. This process will allow for clean, reconciled data to transfer from the
source system(s) to the Tyler system(s). Reference Conversion Appendix for additional detail.
Objectives:
Data is ready for production (Conversion).

End User Training
End User Training is a critical part of any successful software implementation. Using a training plan previously
reviewed and approved, the Project team will organize and initiate the training activities.
Train the Trainer: Tyler provides one occurrence of each scheduled training or implementation topic. City of
Apache Junction users who attended the Tyler sessions may train additional users. Additional Tyler led
sessions may be contracted at the applicable rates for training.
Tyler will provide standard application documentation for the general use of the software. It is not Tyler’s
responsibility to develop City of Apache Junction specific business process documentation. City of Apache
Junction-led training labs using City of Apache Junction specific business process documentation if created by
the City of Apache Junction can be added to the regular training curriculum, enhancing the training
experiences of the end users.
Objectives:

Production
Following end user training the production system will be fully enabled and made ready for daily operational
use as of the scheduled date. Tyler and the City of Apache Junction will follow the comprehensive action plan
laid out during Go-Live Readiness to support go-live activities and minimize risk to the Project during go-live.
Following go-live, Tyler will work with the City of Apache Junction to verify that implementation work is
concluded, post go-live activities are scheduled, and the transition to Client Services is complete for long-term
operations and maintenance of the Tyler software.
Go-Live
Following the action plan for Go-Live, defined in the Production Readiness stage, the City of Apache Junction
and Tyler will complete work assigned to prepare for Go-Live.
The City of Apache Junction provides final data extract and Reports from the Legacy System for data
conversion and Tyler executes final conversion iteration, if applicable. If defined in the action plan, the City of
Apache Junction manually enters any data added to the Legacy System after final data extract into the Tyler
system.
Tyler staff collaborates with the City of Apache Junction during Go-Live activities. The City of Apache Junction
transitions to Tyler software for day-to day business processing.
Some training topics are better addressed following Go-Live when additional data is available in the system or
based on timing of applicable business processes and will be scheduled following Go-Live per the Project
Schedule.
Objectives:
Execute day to day processing in Tyler software.
City of Apache Junction data available in Production environment.

Post Project Report.
Close Stage Acceptance Criteria:
Completed report indicating all Project deliverables and milestones have been completed.
General Assumptions
Tyler and the City of Apache Junction will use this SOW as a guide for managing the implementation of the
Tyler Project as provided and described in the Agreement. There are a few assumptions which, when
acknowledged and adhered to, will support a successful implementation. Assumptions related to specific
work packages are documented throughout the SOW. Included here are general assumptions which should
be considered throughout the overall implementation process.
Project
Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed.
The City of Apache Junction Project Team will complete their necessary assignments in a mutually
agreed upon timeframe to meet the scheduled go-live date, as outlined in the Project Schedule.
Sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time.
Additional services, software modules and modifications not described in the SOW or Agreement will
be considered a change to this Project and will require a Change Request Form as previously
referenced in the definition of the Change Control Process.
Tyler will provide a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City of Apache Junction
project manager(s) ten (10) business days or as otherwise mutually agreed upon time frame prior to
any scheduled on-site or remote sessions, as applicable.
Tyler will provide guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler
software. If multiple options are presented by Tyler, the City of Apache Junction is responsible for
making decisions based on the options available.
Implementation of new software may require changes to existing processes, both business and
technical, requiring the City of Apache Junction to make process changes.
The City of Apache Junction is responsible for defining, documenting, and implementing their policies
that result from any business process changes.
Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, City of Apache Junction is responsible for managing Organizational
Change. Impacted City of Apache Junction resources will need consistent coaching and reassurance from their
leadership team to embrace and accept the changes being imposed by the move to new software. An
Exhibit 2
City of Apache Junction
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 41
important part of change is ensuring that impacted City of Apache Junction resources understand the value of
the change, and why they are being asked to change.
Resources and Scheduling
City of Apache Junction resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project
Schedule.
The City of Apache Junction team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities.
Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
Tyler and the City of Apache Junction will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the
Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases require sufficient resources to complete all required
work as scheduled.
Changes to the Project Schedule, availability of resources or changes in Scope will be requested
through a Change Request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget, and schedule) will be
assessed and documented as part of the change control process.
The City of Apache Junction will ensure assigned resources will follow the change control process and
possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully. Should there
be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability,
change control process buy-in, and knowledge.
The City of Apache Junction makes timely Project related decisions to achieve scheduled due dates on
tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Failure to do so may affect the schedule, as each
analysis and implementation session is dependent on the decisions made in prior sessions.
The City of Apache Junction will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely
manner, in accordance with the Project Schedule.
The City of Apache Junction will provide adequate meeting space or facilities, including appropriate
system connectivity, to the project teams including Tyler team members.
For on-site visits, Tyler will identify a travel schedule that balances the needs of the project and the
employee.
Data
Data will be converted as provided and Tyler will not create data that does not exist.
The City of Apache Junction is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing
erroneous legacy data.
Tyler will work closely with the City of Apache Junction representatives to identify business rules
before writing the conversion. The City of Apache Junction must confirm that all known data mapping
from source to target have been identified and documented before Tyler writes the conversion.
All in-scope source data is in data extract(s).
Each legacy system data file submitted for conversion includes all associated records in a single
approved file layout.
The City of Apache Junction will provide the legacy system data extract in the same format for each
iteration unless changes are mutually agreed upon in advance. If not, negative impacts to the
schedule, budget and resource availability may occur and/or data in the new system may be
incorrect.
The City of Apache Junction Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and
reporting issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
The City of Apache Junction is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training,
testing interfaces, etc.)
Exhibit 2
City of Apache Junction
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 42
Facilities
The City of Apache Junction will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with City of Apache
Junction resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, City of Apache Junction
will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
The City of Apache Junction will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned
without distraction.

Code Mapping [where applicable] An activity that occurs during the data conversion process
whereby users equate data (field level) values from the old
system to the values available in the new system. These may be
one to one or many to one. Example: Old System [Field = eye
color] [values = BL, Blu, Blue] maps to New Tyler System [Field =
Eye Color] [value = Blue].
Consulted Those whose opinions are sought, typically subject matter
experts, and with whom there is two-way communication. [Also
see RACI]
Control Point This activity occurs at the end of each stage and serves as a
formal and intentional opportunity to review stage deliverables
and required acceptance criteria for the stage have been met.
Data Mapping [where applicable] The activity determining and documenting where data from the
legacy system will be placed in the new system; this typically
involves prior data analysis to understand how the data is

Programming Interfaces
Planning
An Integration is a real-time or automated exchange of data between two systems. Standard Data Exchange
tools are available to fulfill Integrations with external systems by allowing clients to get data in and out of the
Tyler system. Data exchange tools can take the form of Imports and Exports, and Application Programming
Interfaces (APIs)*. APIs may require additional licensing and may have some restrictions on use. Please refer
to your licensing agreement for further information.
Imports and Exports
The City of Apache Junction and Tyler project manager(s) will work together to define/confirm which Imports
and Exports are needed (if not outlined in the Agreement). Tyler will provide an Excel or ASCII file layouts for
each Standard Data Exchange.
APIs*
Additional API licensing and data sharing agreements are required for integration with third-party
applications. If APIs have been purchased, Tyler may provide integration assistance to understand API services
and provide necessary support to complete the integration of Tyler software to the City of Apache Junction
internal applications. Tyler will not provide any hands-on development unless expressly specified in the
Agreement. It is Tyler’s responsibility to ensure the API services operate correctly. It is the Client’s
responsibility to fulfill integrations using Tyler’s API services and ensure operation of the third party API
services.

SUBJECT: THIRD AMENDMENT TO LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGIES,
LLC FOR MUNIS UTILITY BILLING SOFTWARE
The Water Utilities Community Facilities District (WUCFD) in the City of Apache Junction
has been researching utility billing software options to replace the current system in
place, the AS400. The utility billing is the last remaining component of the city’s and
water district’s financial software that remains with the AS400, which the city began
migrating from in 2018 when they acquired the Munis Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system through Tyler Technologies, LLC. Currently Munis provides for the city and
water district’s financials (accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing,
vendors, contracts), human resources and payroll functions. The addition of the utility
billing software will be the third phase of the Munis software project.
WUCFD and city finance staff visited with three vendors (Tyler Technologies, Advanced
Utility Billing and Caselle) to fully assess new utility billing software over the past three
years. After careful review and thoughtful consideration WUCFD is recommending a
transition to the Munis utility billing software through the city’s contract with Tyler
Technologies. Staff feels the software will best accommodate the 4,500 customer
billings it performs a month. The other most significant advantage is that this new utility
billing software integrates with the city’s financial software as it will be under the same
overarching ERP system. Other benefits include the integration with Geographical
Information System (GIS) mapping data; work orders; ease in transfer of account
ownership when residents move; and provides for a notification system via text, phone
call or email for messaging regarding billing, shutoff notices, or water issues. Customers
will still be able to pay their water utility bills through the internet, via phone or in-person.
WUCFD will be using the city’s contract with Tyler Technologies, LLC as a vehicle for the
procurement and implementation of the Munis utility billing software. The total cost for
the implementation and one (1) year maintenance/support of the utility billing software
is $143,228.00 plus 20% for contingencies in the amount of $28,645.60, for a total not to
exceed $171,873.60. WUCFD will reimburse the city for these expenses.
Thank you for your consideration.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
THROUGH: MATT BUSBY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
FROM: LESLIE DERECHE, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL RETIREMENT SYSTEM
House Bill 2097 requires cities and towns to establish a Pension Funding Policy that will be
adopted annually beginning on or before July 1, 2019. This funding policy will define
how and when the City’s PSPRS payroll contributions and unfunded liability will be met.
This will be the fourth year that Council has adopted this Pension Funding Policy.
Staff recommends approval of this policy.
City of Apache Junction
Public Safety Personnel Retirement S ystem
Pension Funding Policy
The intent of this policy is to clearly communicate the Council’s pension funding objectives and
its commitment to our employees and the sound financial management of the City and to
comply with Arizona Revised Statutes Section 38-863.01.
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS)
PSPRS is administered as an agent multiple-employer pension plan. Each agency participating
in the plan has an individual trust fund reflecting that agencies’ own funded ratio, contribution
rate and annual actuarial valuation. The City’s police employees who are regularly assigned
hazardous duty participate in the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS).
Council formally accepts the assets, liabilities, and current funding ratio of the City’s
PSPRS trust funds from the June 30, 2021, actuarial valuation, which are detailed below:
Trust Fund
Actuarial
Valuation of
Assets
(AVA)
Actuarial Accrued
Liability
(AAL)
Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued

(AAL-AVA)
Funded Ratio
(AVA/AAL)
Apache Junction Police $18,061,688 $44,409,089 $26,346,401 40.7%
PSPRS Funding Goal
The City of Apache Junction plans on issuing pension obligation bonds in FY22/23 to bring
the Unfunded Actuarial Liability to Zero in FY 2022-23. The estimated annual debt service
will be approximately $2.5 million dollars through June 2038.
Council established this goal for the following reasons:
• The PSPRS trust funds represent only the City of Apache Junction’s liability
• The fluctuating cost of an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) causes strain on
the City’s budget, affecting our ability to provide services
• A fully funded pension is the best way to achieve taxpayer and member
intergenerational equity
Council has taken the following actions to achieve this goal:
• Maintain annual required contribution (ARC) payment from operating revenues – Council
is committed to maintaining the full ARC payment (normal cost and UAAL amortization)
from operating funds.
• Create and maintain a PSPRS Pension Liability reserve, equal to 10% of the
outstanding debt service of the pension obligation bonds, to be used to maintain 100%
funding of Actuarial Accrued Liability.
• Dedicated revenue – The provisions of City Ordinance No. 1418 continued a tax rate
effective September 2, 2016 of 0.2% to be used for mandatory payments to the Public
Safety Personnel Retirement System and unfunded liability related to this system. This
ordinance sunsets on September 1, 2026.
Based on these pension funding policy decisions by Council, the City PSPRS plans are expected to
maintain the goal of 100% funding.

Financial Policies
Fiscal Year 2022/23
The following City financial policies establish the framework for City of Apache Junction’s overall fiscal
planning and management. They set forth guidelines for both current activities and long-range planning.
The policies are reviewed annually to assure the highest standards of fiscal management. The City
Manager and the City Budget Committee have the primary role of reviewing financial actions and
providing guidance to the City Council. The following policies will be affirmed and adopted per Council
Resolution when the City Council adopts the final budget.
The overall financial goals underlying these policies are:
• Fiscal conservatism: To ensure that the City is at all times in a solid financial condition. This can
be defined as:
o Cash Solvency - the ability to pay bills.
o Budgetary Solvency - the ability to balance the budget.
o Long-run Solvency - the ability to pay future costs.
o Service Level Solvency – the ability to provide needed and desired services
• Flexibility: To ensure that the C is in a position to respond to changes in the economy or new
service challenges without an undue amount of financial stress.
• Adhering to the highest accounting and management practices as well as the financial reporting
and budgeting standards established by the Government Finance Officers Association, by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and by other professional organizations.
Operating
• All departments will participate in the responsibility of meeting policy goals and ensuring
long‐term financial health. Future service plans and program initiatives will be developed to
reflect current policy directives, projected resources, and future service requirements.
• Ongoing operating costs should be supported by ongoing, stable revenue sources as much
as possible. Some corollaries to this policy are:
o Fund balances should be used only for one-time expenditures, such as capital
equipment and improvements or contingency accounts.
o Ongoing maintenance costs should be financed through operating revenues rather than
debt.
o Fluctuating federal grants should not be used to finance ongoing programs.
• Revenues from growth or development should be allocated to one-time costs as much as
possible.
• User fees and charges will be examined periodically, and changes will be approved by the
City Council.
• Comparison of service delivery will be made on a periodic basis to ensure that quality
services are provided to citizens at the most competitive and economical cost. The review of
service delivery alternatives will be performed on a periodic basis.
• Addition of personnel will only be requested to meet program initiatives and policy
directives; after service needs have been thoroughly examined and it is substantiated that
additional staffing will result in increased net revenue or enhanced operating efficiencies.
• Benefits and compensation will be administered in accordance with direction given by City
Council. As part of a cost‐containment strategy, total costs for health insurance premiums
will be shared between the employer and employees. Total premiums will be evaluated on
an annual basis to ensure they are reasonable and competitive.
Budget
In accordance with Arizona state law, the City annually adopts a balanced budget. Arizona Revised
Statute §42-17151 requires all estimated sources of revenue, and restricted and unrestricted
unencumbered balances from the preceding fiscal year, shall equal the total of amounts proposed to be
spent in the budget for the current fiscal year. The budget must include sufficient contingency
appropriation provisions for expenditures related to revenues that cannot be accurately determined or
anticipated when the budget is adopted.
• The budget process weighs all competing requests for City resources, within expected fiscal
constraints.
• The budget shall be considered balanced if all sources of revenue, as estimated, are equal
to, or exceed, the total of amounts proposed to be used in the operating budget for the
current fiscal year, by fund.
Investment
• Cash and Investment programs will ensure that proper controls and safeguards are
maintained. City funds will be managed in a prudent and diligent manner with an emphasis
on safety of principal, liquidity, and financial return on principal, in that order.
Capital Management
1. A five‐year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) will be developed and updated annually,
including anticipated spending as well as funding sources.
2. Proposed capital projects will be reviewed and prioritized by a cross‐divisional team
regarding accurate costing (design, capital, and operating), prevention of existing
infrastructure deterioration before the addition of new infrastructure and overall
consistency with the City’s General Plan and City Council’s goals and objectives.
3. Future operating and maintenance costs associated with new capital improvements will be
forecast and included in the Operating Budget.
4. Dedicated two tenths of percent (0.2%) privilege tax revenue for street improvements will
be restricted to funding the planning, design, construction and acquisition costs associated
with building, renovating, or enhancing capital projects for streets, highways, and traffic
control.
Debt Management
• City Debt Service costs should not exceed five percent (5%) of the City’s current or
future annual operating revenue in order to control fixed costs and ensure
expenditure flexibility.
Reserve Management
• All fund designations and reserves will be evaluated annually for long‐term
adequacy and use requirements.
• The City will maintain an unreserved general fund balance of at least 20% of the
budgeted operating expense if available.
Financial Reporting
• The City’s accounting and financial reporting systems will be maintained in
conformance with all state and federal laws, generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and standards of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB).
• Prior to the end of each fiscal year the City shall designate certified public
accountants who, shall perform an independent audit of the City’s annual financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.
The certified public accountants shall be independent of the City government,
having no personal interest, direct or indirect, in the fiscal affairs of City government
or any of its officers. The certified public accountants shall submit their reports to
the Council. All such audit reports shall be a matter of public record.
• Financial systems will maintain internal controls to monitor revenues and
expenditures on an ongoing basis.
