The City has a population of 44,309 with an average additional 20,000-30,000 seasonal residents. Apache Junction's north and eastern sectors have many dirt roadways where residents have a desire for no light pollution. This rural environment exacerbates conditions for unsafe driving while providing the illusion to impaired drivers the area is free of enforcement. There are 181 paved road miles within the city limits and 18 signalized intersections operated and maintained by the City. In addition, there are approximately 5 miles of US-60 and 7 miles of SR-88 within the city limits. Organization size/number of sworn officers: 95 Total population in city/town/county served: 44,309 Total road mileage: Highway: 5, Local: 176, Total: 181 Jurisdiction: City Agency Problem/Attempts to Solve Problem: Apache Junction has experienced rapid population growth, especially in the southern part of the city where new residential development is concentrated. The city's population increased from about 38,500 residents in 2020 to over 44,000 in 2024, and local demographic sources project continued growth to approximately 47,000-48,000 residents by 2027. This growth has contributed to increased traffic throughout the city and presents heightened risks of impaired driving.Apache Junction's nightlife includes more than 20 bars and pubs, such as Handlebar Pub S Grill, The Wheelhouse Tavern, Cat Wagon Tap and Bottle, and Rusty Buckle Saloon, creating multiple environments where alcohol consumption intersects with travel demand. Local crash data show persistent fatal and serious injury collisions, with DUI-related incidents a substantial safety concern. In response, the Apache Junction Police Department has established a dedicated DUI Squad to focus enforcement on impaired drivers citywide. Agency Funding: State DUI Abatement Funds will support Personnel Services (Overtime) and Employee Related Expenses to enhance DUI Enforcement Activities throughout the City of Apache Junction. How Agency Will Solve Problem With Funding: Funding through the DUI Abatement Council will enable the department's DUI Squad to expand targeted DUI enforcement, particularly during high-risk times and in areas with growing traffic and nightlife activity. These efforts will reduce impaired driving, prevent crashes, and support the GOHS mission to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries in Apache Junction. Grant funds will support overtime for officers to conduct highly visible DUI saturation patrols throughout the year. This includes active participation in multi-agency task forces during holiday periods and special events, which historically experience elevated numbers of alcohol and drug- related incidents. These targeted enforcement efforts aim to enhance public safety, deter impaired driving, and reduce serious crashes in Apache Junction. 2 Apache Junction DUI ABATEMENT COUNCIL Police Department GRANT AGREEMENT DUTAC-E-211 PROGRAM MEASURES: Grant Agreement Objectives: Quarter 1 (July 1 to September 30): Traffic and Patrol Officers will conduct a minimum of 4 DUI details per month.

Page 1 City of Apache Junction, Arizona Printed on 7/20/2026 Home of the Superstition Mountains City of Apache Junction 300 East Superstition Boulevard  Apache Junction, Arizona 85119  MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members THROUGH: Bryant Powell, City Manager FROM: Liz Langenbach, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: July 7, 2026 SUBJECT: Updates to Chapter 4-1: Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule Apache Junction City Code Volume I, Chapter 4: Fees, Article 4-1: Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule addresses parks and recreation fees. Fees are required by the state of Arizona to be reviewed every five years to ensure they are aligned with the local market, the community needs, and changes in other laws. The parks and recreation department has historically used three primary funding sources to provide high quality programs, services, and facilities for the community: 1) general fund (sales tax); 2) development fee fund; and 3) user fees. These are supplemented by various smaller sources such as grants, donations, corporate partnerships, etc. Many facilities, amenities, and events are paid for by all residents through city sales taxes; however additional fees are put in place for more exclusive uses by individuals. Staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission have conducted a thorough review of our current market and have made recommendations based on the following: 1. General Market Comparison Parks and Recreation fees were last updated in 2021. The recommended updates will aim to increase only those fees that are substantially below market value or need to be increased to cover rising operating costs. 2. Demographics and Affordabiltiy A priority is ensuring that many facilities/programs are available to all residents, regardless of their income level. This is reflected in some of the fee decisions, and in a robust scholarship program, funded by partners to offset necessary fees. 2. New Amenity/Service Fee Considerations With the introduction of renovated facilities at the Rodeo Event Center, recommendations also include new amenities such as the large pavilion, vendor electricity, and RV hook-ups. Once city council is satisfied with proposed changes, the fees will be discussed and voted on at a future public hearing. The intent is to have any approved changes effective no later than January 1st, 2027. Thank you, for your consideration.
