)City Clerk Kathleen
Connelly briefed the council on the item.
Mayor Insalaco requested the
applicant address the council.
An unidentified woman
representing Fraternal Order of Eagles #3850 stated this is a
fundraiser for the Apache Junction kids.It is a tribute to the
Kiss band.All the proceeds will go to the four elementary
schools and the middle schools for sporting events and anything
else they need.
Councilmember Serdy asked if
it will be open to the public or just members.
The Eagles representative
stated it is open to the public.It will be outside in the
parking lot.They will be selling tickets for a minimum
donation.
Councilmember Serdy asked if
they want people to come dressed as Kiss.
The Eagles representative
stated if they would like to.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
she noticed in the planning division memo they recommended
several things for this event - a water truck to wet down the
temporary parking lot, additional security personnel and the
possibility of noise complaints.She is sure they are well
aware of the last one as they usually shut down before that
happens anyway.
The Eagles representative
stated they have a water truck on the property already and the
AJ Mounted Rangers have signed a contract donating their
security services for the event.There will be 13 of them.
They will also have about 15 of their own officers attending.

Councilmember Waldron asked
Ms. Lee Nugent stated it is.
It has been closed for two months.It will be re -opening on
Thursday.They opened the old Sundance back in May.The former
Sundance is owned by some people that live in London.They flew
in and asked them to take it over.They are leasing it; they
have not bought it yet.
Councilmember Waldron asked
if the other one is opening in a couple of months.
Ms. Lee Nugent stated it will
be opening in a couple of days.

PAGE 5 OF 21
Mayor Insalaco asked if the
liquor license is clear on that one, too.
Ms. Lee Nugent stated it is.
There was never an issue about the liquor license.It was a
personal issue with her.Their attorney did a little double
clutching of the law.They got it straightened out and they
have to give everything back, including taking everything off
the liquor license.
Mayor Insalaco commented the
application has a question about if they have any live
entertainment or dancing and, if so, what type and how often.
Stephanie Smith marked no.
Ms. Lee Nugent stated they do
not plan on having any entertainment in there.They plan on
being closed by 9 p.m.The liquor license is primarily for
people that come in for dinner, they want to have a drink with
dinner, and they close early.She does not intend for it to be
a bar.She has a bar and one is enough.This is a restaurant
that happens to serve drinks.Stephanie Smith is no longer with
us; they will be changing the agent to her son after the council
meeting.They will only have entertainment on Friday during
dinner.
Mayor Insalaco commented it
is just entertainment, there is no dancing or anything like
that.
Ms. Lee Nugent stated it is a
single individual.They have a dance floor but it is half the
size of this area here.
Mayor Insalaco asked the city
clerk how this could be taken care of.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated they should probably give an updated page or something in
writing verifying that there is not going to be entertainment.
She just mentioned there will be a change in agents.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 6 OF 21
Ms. Lee Nugent stated she
called the city this morning to see if that would be an issue
and was told no, they would just need someone here at the
meeting to represent the corporation,
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that is for this meeting but she may need to update the
paperwork with the state.
Ms. Lee Nugent stated she
called the liquor board and she is more afraid of them than
anybody.She called to find out the procedure and was told to
go to the council meeting and if everything is approved there
she was then to make an application for a new agent.The agent
does not need to be part of the company.
City Attorney Joel Stern
commented he thinks this should be called an amendment to the
application and put the following amendments have been made.
Mayor Insalaco asked if he
meant the music.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated in regards to what they have been talking about such as
the person and the music.It should be submitted to the city
clerk.

)Assistant to the City
Manager Matt Busby briefed the council on the item.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
the code changes under internal issues are the result of the
legislative actions that were taken.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated that is correct.With the tax simplification
there will need to be a couple of specific changes that need to
take place, along with some of the election bills.
Councilmember Waldron asked
if it were possible to get a status update on some of them that
are being carried forward and are in the process of being done.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby asked if he wanted that in written format or a verbal
update in a meeting.
Councilmember Waldron
commented it could be tacked on in here.An example would be
,where they stand on the process of the comprehensive zoning code
update.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated it would be a status update in the narrative
right below it.
Councilmember Waldron
commented that is what he was thinking.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
there are several of these they have been working on and she
knows work has been done on them.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated that one was a good example as they have been
working on it for over a year.They are almost there.
Councilmember Waldron
commented they just want to see where things stand.

Assistant City Manager Bryant
Powell stated there has been a lot of work done on the first
four, in fact, the first six.
Vice Mayor Barker asked if
the public safety pawn shop change was brought up last spring.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated it might have been a year ago.This is the
second year this had been on.
Vice Mayor Barker asked if
they are working with that.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated this goes back almost two years.To his knowledge, there
has never been a direction to staff to bring this back.
Although there has been no direction, in contemplation of that
happening he did several drafts and it has been discussed
internally.There have been changes to those drafts and council
has not seen it as it is not ready.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
so we are actually working on it, but slowly.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated that is correct but they have been looking at it with no
direction.There has been no official direction to bring it
back as an ordinance.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
commented some of the Chapter 8 changes caused by the tax
simplification process will most likely impact how we collect
taxes and regulate pawn shops.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
she was thinking about that while she looked at the new changes.
It looked as though some of them would impact that.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated we have to stop looking from the tax collection process
to the licensing process.

Councilmember Serdy asked if
there is still the one active pawn shop.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated she thought the city has several.
.City Attorney Joel Stern
stated he believed that is a police chief issue.He knows the
answer.
Acting Public Safety
Director/Deputy Police Chief Tom Kelly stated there are four or
five.
she did not realize that.
they are all at.
for a long time we had none.
stated the city has a few.
they are.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
Mayor Insalaco asked where
Councilmember Serdy commented
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
Vice Mayor Barker asked where
Acting Public Safety
Director/Deputy Police Chief Tom Kelly stated a couple of them
are not what one would call a traditional pawn shop.They take
in things but sell them elsewhere.They do not actually sell
but they are still classified pawn shops.They also have some
that are considered a pawn shop by ordinance that are taking in
gold, jewelry and other items.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
they would take in coins.
Acting Public Safety
Director/Deputy Police Chief Tom Kelly stated there are probably
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 11 OF 21
four or five that they actively get continual, limited
information from.
Councilmember Serdy asked
about the antique mall.
_ Acting Public Safety
Director/Deputy Police Chief Tom Kelly stated the antique mall
is one of the quasi- spots where they do take in things for sale
and pawn.They are back and forth with them.They were working
with them at one time and it comes and goes as the
investigations go back and forth.They have been working with
the police department on a regular basis.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
she would like to see a couple of these come back in the very
near future.She would like to see number ten come back for a
discussion in the first work session in October.It is the
school district intergovernmental -agreement.She would also
like to see the alternative street funding in the second work
session in October.
Councilmember Serdy commented
they talked about something once before when the budget was
being cut but it is kind of stabilized now.Without putting it
onto a work session, he would like some information on the
feasibility of broadcasting the planning and zoning commission
meetings.He knows staff is overworked on that, but they are
also looking at succession.He asked if there was anyone else
that could do that.It does not have to be as elaborately
broadcast as these.They could use one automatic camera.It
would be nice to tune in and watch them for the council's
research.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated what would be ideal in his perspective is to have that be
an item that is put on the legislative work plan.Staff can do
their assessment, come back, have a conversation, and get
council direction to staff on it.They can consider that an
item if there is head nodding.They can bring it back in a
draft and it will be a perfect discussion item.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 12 OF 21
Vice Mayor Barker asked if
they can also look at the possibility of in town folks getting
some kind of break when they bid for items.Several cities have
done that now.
City Attorney Joel Stern
commented there are some really, deep legal issues with that.
They have talked about it and there has never been a direction
on that, also.He has talked to the city manager about it.He
has seen ordinances from other cities.Summing up the legal
issue, if it is a charter city they can probably do it, although
some charter cities do not necessarily agree with that
interpretation.If it is not a charter city, some non -charter
cities have done it and, while he does not want to get into the
legal issues here, there is a legal issue if that is done.
Mayor Insalaco asked him to
explain a charter city very quickly.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated a charter city is where a charter is basically the
constitution of the city.If the city does not have a charter,
then basically the Arizona Revised State Statutes guide
everything that is done.In Apache Junction, that is how it is.
The statutes are used to guide everything we do.Apache
Junction does not have a charter.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated establishing a charter is a multi -year process where they
end up going to the voters to ask if the city can conduct itself
in a certain manner.Some cities have done that but many have
not.We have to comply with state legislation.
Councilmember Serdy commented
one of the cities in the far west side just did this.They are
set up differently than us and that is how they were allowed to
do this.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
they are not a charter city.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated he has on his desk a three or four page summary from Anna
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 13 OF 21
McCray on this subject.Tomorrow staff is meeting to go over
that.If it works for the council, they will wrap up that
analysis and get it to them.They can then decide whether they
want to consider this item further and put it on a work plan or
decide it is not something they want to pursue.He asked if
that plan works.
Vice Mayor Barker stated it
does.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated he has an item highlighted that he believes is
a combination of two older items.It is a little different than
a local preference, but it may be what the council wishes to
amend this item to reflect.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated he was thinking that it had a best value, but he did not
remember.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated that was from Tucson.
Vice Mayor Barker asked if
that is the one where they did not necessarily look at this.It
was the lowest bid.They looked at the bid which would give us
what we considered the best value for what we were putting out
there.In her mind this is a totally different thing.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated he thinks there was some sort of aspect of local
preference built in to that with the Tucson ordinance.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated the Tucson ordinance is definitely with a local
preference.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
they are a charter city.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated they are a charter city and they do all sorts of things.
They won some recent case law on certain election issues.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 14 OF 21
Councilmember Wilson asked a
question about number fifteen (his microphone was off).
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated he believed Public Works Manager Shane Kiesow
had already brought this forward.
Vice Mayor Barker agreed.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated he might be thinking of number eleven.It is
a little more tied to the revenue discussion, the transportation
strategic ordinance.
Vice Mayor Barker stated it
is the 10 year plan.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated he did not know if it was more along what he
was thinking or not.The annual street maintenance plan has
already been approved by the council.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated he is not trying to disagree with him but there was an
item involving a certain contractor and planned street
maintenance and construction projects for fiscal year 2013-2014
where it was mentioned in the line.There was a discussion
about the annual maintenance plan even though it was not the
main agenda item.The main agenda item was to select a certain
contractor who would supply the maintenance items.
Vice Mayor Barker commented
this is where we saw all the colored lines, et cetera, that said
this would be done first and this needed to be done but probably
could not.
City Attorney Joel Stern
stated that is correct.Technically that item was not this
item.He believes that item was to select Sunland Asphalt.
They could do another one and talk more in depth.He believes
it has not technically been brought to them as an item.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 15 OF 21
City Manager George Hoffman
stated practically it was and technically it was not.
Realistically, if they are going to have a discussion item on
the big picture on streets, they will get all that data and they
will want to look at it again.They need to be informed on what
has been done so far, what the current condition of the roadway
system is, what they are doing about it this year and what gaps
exist for the future.Whether they break it out or hear it
again separately, to have a holistic, comprehensive discussion
of roads they will need to consider all those things.
Vice Mayor Barker agreed and
requested they all be put in there.
Councilmember Serdy commented
he is very interested in numbers 38 through 41.He would like
to see them blend some of this together and bring in more.
There is also the Arizona Commerce Authority, the Arizona Office
of Tourism, and Greater Phoenix Economic Council and they have
the land down south the city wants to highlight and showcase.
He suggested upping the involvement with our public information
and visitor center.Right now they are separate.This could
even involve parks and recreation.When looking at other
cities, parks and recreation is the face of the city.They are
the welcoming center whenever there is an event.He is not sure
how to word this but he would like to have more highlighting of
the city for business/commerce events instead of having all
these together.In the future the city can merge the economic
development to make it stronger.Instead of having one person
do this, have them all cross -trained and work on this.If
something starts to break loose with Portalis, he thinks it
would be important that we have all these resources.He does
not think they are using all the resources now that are at our
disposal.If other people are already doing it, whether it be
the Commerce Authority or Office of Tourism or Greater Phoenix
Economic Council, have someone on this.We have not used all
the assets in the past.
City Manager George Hoffman
asked if that would be reflected on a work plan as a discussion
about how we expand and have a coordinated outreach effort.
They could still work on the language but he wanted to make sure
he had the right idea.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 16 OF 21
Councilmember Serdy commented
right now when certain things happen he is not sure if it goes
to Janine, Matt or someone else.He wants to have a better
understanding on how they are going to attract things to happen
down there on the Portalis land, instead of just sitting back
and waiting.If they do this effort, other people and other
communities are going to see that and see that the city is
laying the groundwork here to get things to happen out there.
We have not done that in the past.They have hoped that someone
comes and builds something.He would like to see more of an
effort to showcase the land down there and showcase our
downtown.They still will be separate entities with economic
development and public information but have them together more.
He suggested they bring in parks and recreation, too.When they
have an event, parks and recreation is the one who runs it.
They are actually already a part of it even though we have not
realized it in the past.He would like more discussion on if
there is anything more they can do on that and how they can tie
it together to use all of the state's assets and the chamber's
assets.
City Manager George Hoffman
asked if there was enough information there for something to be
drafted.
Assistant to the City Manager
Matt Busby stated there was.
Mayor Insalaco closed the
item with no further comments.This was a discussion item only
and he moved on to the next item.
CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF STRATEGIC
PLANNING SESSION
)City Manager George
Hoffman briefed the council on the item.
Mayor Insalaco commented he
does not like long meetings any better than anyone else, but
when it came to that 3:00 p.m. time frame there were still a lot
of people who had things to say and wanted to get done last
time.It never got done.The time limit was more important.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 20, 2013
PAGE 17 OF 21
City Manager George Hoffman
stated council made it clear at the start that they wanted to be
done by a certain time.The facilitator worked to that.He or
she will seek to be responsive to whatever time frame they are
interested in.He thinks what happened is exactly what he said.
It was a good, dynamic, vibrant discussion and it felt like it
got artificially cut short.
Mayor Insalaco commented they
did not get the chance to finish what they were talking about.
He asked what would happen if they cannot get their point
across.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated the city manager is correct.It was a request of council
that it end by a particular time because of NASCAR.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated now we are really getting honest about what happened.He
left that out.He thinks it is far better to have had a working
session in where we say we would have liked to have spent more
time then next time keep it to two hours.
Councilmember Waldron
commented he would personally like to just do it.They could
even get Lance back to facilitate it.He did a great job.
Councilmember Rizzi commented
she thinks it is a very valuable tool.She would not hold
anybody to a time limit.
Mayor Insalaco commented they
do not want to go to midnight.It seemed like they had just had
something to eat and they had a couple of hours and then they
have something else to eat and before they know it, it is 3:00
p.m. and they are done.He is not complaining; he is just
trying to make it better next year.
City Manager George Hoffman
asked them to give it some thought.If it is alright, he will
bring it back in a couple of weeks for council direction to
staff.They can look at their calendars for spring of 2014 and
they can give direction to do it and if they want a facilitator,
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

such as having it in April or something.He asked the city
clerk if she was aware of any issues for that time of year next
year.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated she was not aware of any other than some people go away
for Easter.
City Manager George Hoffman
stated they should look at the calendars for something like
that.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly
stated if it is going to run late they need to pick a venue that
allows us to stay there.
Mayor Insalaco closed the
discussion with no further comments.This was a discussion item
only and he moved on to the next item.

Vice Mayor Barker commented
it is at the same level.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly

last two years and maybe even three.
