PHASE II COMPLIANCE PROJECT (NPDES II)
BY ED LATIMER OF AMEC
)City Engineer Ron Grittman stated
this is a continuation of the ongoing process to come into compliance with the
NPDES permit.They are under a March 10 deadline.Council will be receiving
a copy of the draft permit soon and it should be on the March 3 work session
and March 4 regular meeting agendas.
Mr.Ed Latimer,technical director
of water resources for AMEC,gave a powerpoint presentation on the process.
He gave a quick overview of the regulatory program that needs to be complied
with and then described the draft stormwater management program that will come
before them for approval.
Councilmember Durbala commented this
is another federal mandate that tells them how to spend the local tax dollars
on programs that someone up in Washington decided was needed.

Councilmember Durbala asked how much
Mr.Ed Latimer stated you will
always remain a phase two community.This is the initial period and it is
hard to determine what will happen down the road.He believes it will go up,
but he is not sure how much.
Councilmember Durbala asked if a
city would have to go to phase one if they go over the 100,000 mark.
Mr.Ed Latimer stated they will
remain phase two.Once a phase two,you are always a phase two.
Vice Mayor Surra commented the
phasing was a timing mechanism.They will all be in some phase or other.
Although it is an unfunded federally mandated program,protecting the water
supply is very important and she thinks it is money well spent.

Councilmember Eck asked if Arizona
has primacy.
Mr,Ed Latimer stated they do as of
December 5,2002.
Councilmember Eck asked if this is
through the Environmental Protection Agency.
Mr.Ed Latimer stated it is through
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
Councilmember Eck commented that is
who they would voice their concerns to in the future regarding parameters.He
was concerned about one of them being the temperature of water running through
a culvert being too hot.
Mr.Ed Latimer stated that affects
phase one,not phase two.It might be an issue in the second period,however.
Councilmember Eck asked if they
would have to dechlorinate the potable water that is flushed out of fire
hydrants.
MI'.Ed Latimer stated that is one of
them that needs to be regulated.
Councilmember Eck commented they
have the ability to assess that.
Mr.Ed Latimer stated that is
correct.The permit requires you to do an official assessment of that,
document the decision and how they came to that decision.
Councilmember Eck asked if they
should have the foresight for 2007 or 2008 regulations and voice their
concerns now.
Mr.'Ed.Latimer stated they want you
to implement a dry weather outfall screening.They need to look at what is

coming out during dry weather and determine if any of those flows are usual
flows and look for the pollutants.I t is a struggle phase one cities are
having as i t is difficult to assess.He added i t is in the permit but he
cannot see i t being an obstacle for the city.
Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and
called for a ten minute break.
Mayor Coleman reconvened the meeting.

FINAL CHANGE ORDER FOR PROJECT PW 2002-07,
SUPERSTITION BLVD.FROM IRONWOOD DR.TO
IDAHO RD.AND IRONWOOD DR.FROM APACHE
TRAIL TO SUPERSTITION BLVD.
)City Engineer Ron Grittman
briefed the council on the item.This is not a Qwest delay:it was because of
a design flaw in the separation of the project of Superstition between phase
one and phase two.The original design called for the storm drain system to
stop at Four Sons commercial corner.A water main break caused them to
realize i t needed to be extended 'east.This is what put them over the
contingency.However,the next phase will not have to construct that and i t
will reduce that project budget.He listed the change orders and their
amounts associated with the project.They are having a materials problem on
Superstition and they are working with Mesa Materials to solve that problem.
Mayor Coleman commented the extra
storm drain system will not have to be done on the next project as it was done
on this one.He called for any other discussion on the item.There being no
further discussion,he called for a motion.
Councilmember Urich MOVED THAT THE
FINAL CHANGE ORDER FOR RDC CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $77,433.58 RESULTING
FROM STORM DRAIN CHANGES,UTILITY RELATED CHANGES AND QWEST GENERATED CHANGE
ORDER BE APPROVED AND THAT AUTHORIZATION BE GIVEN FOR THE FUNDS TO COME FROM
THE SUPERSTITION -IRONWOOD PROJECT ACCOUNT.

PW 2003-03 HOT IN PLACE ASPHALT RECYCLING
PROJECT
)Public Works Director Doug Dobson
briefed the council on the item.He described the process that would be used
to lay 31 miles of streets.He would like to do Superstition Boulevard from
Highway to Arroya,Old West Highway from Idaho to Goldfield,Apache Trail from
Idaho to Meridian,Winchester from Old West Highway to Southern,and Royal
Palm from Old West Highway to Southern.This will give the city a good street
on all of the major traffic bearing streets in the city with the exception of
Tomahawk and Goldfield.He received only one bid,from Cutler Repaving,and
i t is their equipment you see in the pictures.The entire project should be
completed by mid -June.
Councilmember Eck asked how many
miles they do a day.
Public Works Director Doug Dobson
stated they do about a mile a day.He has to do the culvert extension on
Apache Trail before this project can be done,which should be discussed at the
next council meeting.Once that is done,they should be ready to go.
Mayor Coleman asked if there is a
contingency with the amount requested.
Public Works Director Doug Dobson
stated that is the actual bid amount.He bid the project with a complete
description of the job.If it is underbid,that is the bidder's fault.If he
overbid it,i t is his fault.
Councilmember Eck asked if this is
part of the annual budget.
Public Works Director Doug Dobson
stated i t is a combination of two or three different things;bond money,HURF
money and development fees will be where it comes from.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 18,2003
PAGE 9 OF 18
Councilmember Dietz asked how much
they might save by bidding it out like this instead of ripping it out and
repaving it.
Public Works Director Doug Dobson
stated they estimated this process would come in at $1.6 million,instead of
the bid of $1.44 for this process.He asked Ron Grittman for an estimate of
the savings over the traditional process.
City Engineer Ron Grittman stated
they did not even consider that.However,they just completed Superstition
and Ironwood and Broadway,approximately 3.5 miles at $3 million,which comes
out to about $800,000 per mile.However,that also includes storm drains,
curb gutters and sidewalks which this does not.They will be adding an inch
to the roadway and they will be doing some rubberized asphalt and rubberized
chip seal on some of the residential roadways where they can bring the cost of
overlaying the streets even lower than current costs.It will add structure
to the current roadway.
Public Works Director Doug Dobson
stated the rubberized chivse-al and rubberized asphalt were pointed towards
the residential areas rather than the major roadways.
•' •Councilmember Durbala stated this is
a big cost savings and a big time savings for the people to be using the
roads.It will be ready to be driven on by the end of the day.He commented
he brought this information back from a conference about three years ago.
Councilmember Eck asked if it will
help with the dips.
Public Works Director Doug Dobson
stated i t does.It mills the pavement and it will take out any humps and fill
any low places.It will make the previous paving the city has made look bad.
Vice Mayor Surra stated she agrees
that this is money well spent due to the down time being so small.She
complimented the public works staff for their moving from one project to
another and doing a good job.

ALLOW TEMPORARY RESIDENTS TO RESIDE IN A
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE WHILE A MANUFACTURED
HOME ON THE SAME PROPERTY IS BEING
INSTALLED
.)Councilmember Dietz commented
they had earlier discussed allowing peOple to live in manufactured homes while
conventional homes are being-built:bn their properties He had a citizen call
him requesting to live in.a recreational vehicle while a new manufactured home
was being installed:.::Whi0;:he currently *not do.He is tearing down a
rundown property and trylng to improve it which is what the city would like to
see its residents do.He.thought they might be able to tie this in with the
previous direction to staff.He would like to see these people helped.This
particular person would have to spend 3 months in a hotel or a mobile home
park.
Vice Mayor Surra asked how it reads
for a person living in a manufactured home while the conventional home is
being built.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated GR,R-143 and CR-1 single family resident zones
allow an RV to be used as a temporary dwelling for up to 90 days with a
possible extension for another 90 days during the construction of a
conventional home on the premises.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 18,2003
PAGE 11 OF 18
Vice Mayor Surra asked if they could
add that anyone upgrading their manufactured or mobile home would have the
same privilege.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated he had some options.In the GR,R-143MH and
CR-1MH zones they could allow an RV during installation of a manufactured home
on the same premises.They could also allow an RV to be used as a temporary
dwelling in any single family residential zone for 90 days with the
possibility of an extension for another 90 days during the construction of a
conventional home or the installation of a manufactured home on the same
premises.They could leave the current option as is.They could allow a
manufactured home to remain temporarily on a 1.25 acre property while a newer
manufactured home is installed on the same premises.They could allow a
manufactured home to be replaced with another manufactured home but only if it
is a brand new home or no older than 3-5 years depending on council's choice.
And finally,they could allow a manufactured home while a conventional home is
being built or a manufactured home is being installed on premises of less than
1.25 acres.There are other options.There are a lot of grandfathered RVs
out there.It can become a monitoring problem.A building permit is good for
6 months.One could take year's to build khouse.He recommends that they put
in a time limit for these options.
There was general discussion on the
time limits.
Councilmember Eck commented he likes
the idea of being able to have a manufactured home while a conventional home
is being built.He believes if they are doing a manufactured home,it should
be for less time than a conventional home.It should not exceed six months
maximum.It should not take as much time.
Vice Mayor Surra commented it could•
take a person building their own home a year and they should be able to apply
for extensions.Manufactured homes go up faster and they should not have to
do more than one 90 day extension.•
Councilmember Dietz commented this
man believes he can get it done in 90 days,including the demolition.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 18,2003
PAGE 12 OF 18
Vice Mayor Surra commented the
manufactured homes should be able to be finished in 90 days with maybe one 90
day extension.Conventional homes,especially those being built by the
landowner,should be allowed more extensions up to a year.
Councilmember Dietz asked if they
could add being able to live in an RV if they are building a conventional
home.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated that is currently allowed.
Councilmember Eck commented a lot of
it is security.It is hard to watch it once you start putting things in it.
Vice Mayor Surra commented you also
need the money to put into the new place instead of on more housing and other
utility costs.
Councilmember Urich stated there
could be unforeseen circumstances that occur even with a manufactured home.
Here someone is trying to increase the value of their property and the general
area and the city is making them stay elsewhere at added expense.
Vice Mayor Surra commented she
believed this should be added to the books so that the residents can do these
things.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias asked which option they like.
Vice Mayor Surra stated 90 days with
90 days extension if it is a manufactured home going in;conventional homes
would be 6 months with extensions allowing a maximum time limit of a year,i f
necessary.If they were 90 day extensions,the manufactured home could have
one extension,the conventional home could have three extensions.
Councilmember Dietz commented it
should not be allowed on any property smaller than 20,000 sq,ft.or a half-
acre...
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 18,2003
PAGE 13 OF 18
There was general discussion on
which option and the extensions.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated they are talking about the zoning districts of
GR,R-143,CR-1,R-143MH and CR-1MH.
Councilmember Eck commented they
could also be talking about CR-2 if 20,000 sq.ft.is the minimum.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated that is 11,000 sq.ft.CR-1 is 20,000.
Mayor Coleman stated the second
option he gave is the current one plus the option for a manufactured home as
well as a conventional.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated the second option allows i t in any single
family residential zone,which would include smaller lots.
City Manager George Hoffman asked i f
they wanted to explore Upgrading .a manufactured home to a certain age.
Vice Mayor Surra asked what they had
decided earlier.
Councilmember Eck commented he does
not like putting in a year because they could have something put in in the
50's and be upgrading to something built in 1985,and it would still be 18
years old.
Councilmember Dietz commented i t
should be no more than a designated number of years old.
Councilmember Durbala suggested
three years.
Councilmember Dietz suggested three
to five years.

Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated the only standard they have now is the HUD
standard of being 1976 or newer no matter what condition i t is in.
Vice Mayor Surra asked if it is fair
to put a higher standard on someone who is upgrading.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated there are good looking 1950s trailers out there
and bad 1976 trailers out there.
think they should put stipulations on it.
Councilmember Eck stated he does not
Mayor Coleman agreed.
Vice Mayor Surra commented she
believes i t should be for whatever they should be bringing in for the first
time.
Mayor Coleman stated that would be
the HUD standard.
Councilmember Eck asked when this
would be brought back to council.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated this discussion should be coming back to them
in April.
Councilmember Eck commented he is
aware there are some people anxious about this and he would like to give them
some foresight as to when this is coming up.
Councilmember Dietz stated this
could be included in the changes going before planning and zoning in March.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated that is correct.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FEBRUARY 18,2003
PAGE 15 OF 18
Vice Mayor Surra stated that seems
like a long time if anyone has been waiting on the council to do something.
She asked if there was any way it could be speeded up.
Interim Development Services
Director Rudy Esquivias stated they could cut a couple of weeks out of the
schedule,but they have to go through the planning and zoning workshop and
public hearing and the council workshop and public hearing,but they could do
back-to-back nights with the council,which could cut a couple of weeks or a
month out of the process.
Vice Mayor Surra stated she believes
they should cut as much as they can out of the process.
