CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr.Bob Latunski,400 N.Plaza Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding the loud music coming from Los Vaqueros.This is the second time he has spoken to the council regarding this problem,and nothing has been done in the past two -and -a -half months,though calls have been continuously made to the police department.They had a meeting approximately March 26 with the REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 2 OF 18 police chief,the watch commander,two sergeants,a patrol officer,the owner of the bar and two employees of the bar.The outcome was they determined i t might not be coming from the bar;it might be coming from Cobb's or the White Horse Tavern.He stopped at these places later and heard no music,but he was still hearing the loud bass music coming in the back of his trailer.He was told to get back to the department if they had any more problems.That Friday night he talked to the owner of Los Vaqueros outside the bar and told him that the bass was the same beat he was hearing at his trailer.The owner again claimed it could be coming from the other places through the park.He again attempted to call the owner on Sunday but he had already left.While he was on the phone with an employee,the music stopped.He asked if the band was on a break and she stated they were.He could not hear any loud bass at that time coming in the trailer.He called the police department during the second week of April in the morning to talk to the chief or watch commander. Sergeant Nye called him back at 4 p.m.and asked him if he would sign a complaint.He stated he would and so would his neighbor,Ray Frazier. Sergeant Nye brought over the complaint forms and they were signed.After no action for a week,he called the city attorney's office and talked to the prosecutor's secretary who stated no complaints had been filed over there.He called the police department again and complained,and stated if no action is taken he will be contacting the news media over the problem. Mr.Elliott Fisher addressed the council regarding his future initiatives and referendums,intending to pursue the issues of the inappropriate use of the emergency clause and transportation. Mr.Gary Mulholland,710 S.Muleshoe Road,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding the success the Lost Dutchman Days Committee and the Superstition Mountain Promotional Group have had with Lost Dutchman Days and the Superstition Mountain Stampede.They have asked the city for help to put on these events,and they in turn have been able to financially enrich youth organizations in the community,providing a list to the council,with contributions totaling $31.349.He also commended the police explorers for their assistance at a major accident scene during Lost Dutchman Days,allowing professionals to do their work while they calmed down the bypassers and kept traffic moving.The Superstition Mountain Promotional Group donated four needed hitching posts to the parks department for Prospector Park last year and a check for $2,500 for the scholarship fund,and this year they presented a check in the amount of $3,000 to Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell for the scholarship fund. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 3 OF 18 Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell commented they have a few other contributors to the fund,but nobody has contributed as much as the Superstition Mountain Promotional Group. Mayor Coleman commended Mr.Mulholland and all of his volunteers that work with him in helping the community. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Curtis Shook commented House Bill 2420 sponsored by Representative Clark regarding the fuel emissions testing station to be located in the city has a section that states if an emissions testing station is not built in the city by 2004 that the city would be removed from the non- attainment area.The bill has passed in the house and is currently in the senate. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. OLD BUSINESS UPDATE TO CITY COUNCIL ON CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN (CFP)PROJECTS )Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell briefed the council on the item.The development of the intergovernmental agreement with the school district was a critical step in the development of Desert Shadows Park.A joint effort of the demolition of the site will save approximately $100,000.A large drainage channel under the jurisdiction of Maricopa County Flood Control crosses the site,requiring permits and approval for modification.The city engineer is taking responsibility for this.Coordination with Arizona State Parks and the National Park Service is necessary to relocate the tennis courts;his office is in charge of this.Public Works Director Doug Dobson was consulted for parking and roadway paving.Assistant City Manager George Hoffman has assisted with budgeting and liability issues.There have been fire,planning, engineering and building reviews,plus assistance from the city clerk and city attorney with bid documents.He described the bid schedule.The construction on the park improvement and skate park should be completed in mid -October. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 4 OF 18 The pool project should be started at that time.He showed them a rendering of the park improvements,skate park and pool project. Mayor Coleman asked him to tell the council about the "tweaks". Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated they have added some alternates in the bid documents as they are concerned about the budgeting.If there is not enough funding for the volleyball court,they will turf that area.The shade ramadas could be shifted around.There will be stairs and ramps for the grade change between the existing pool and the new pool. Mayor Coleman asked if the school swim season next year would be interrupted. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated the construction will wait until the season is over. Mayor Coleman asked i f it would be finished by the time summer swim season begins. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated i t is scheduled to be open on Memorial Day weekend. Vice Mayor Surra asked when the skate park would be open. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated i t is scheduled to open around August 15. Councilmember Eck asked how much of a shortfall is estimated that we may lose the volleyball area. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated i t is about $30,000.They believe the city might still be able to fund it. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated this is still in the future and when you add in construction REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 5 OF 18 inflation for the projects,this means money having to be added somewhere else. Vice Mayor Surra commented the volleyball court could be added in as another phase later as money becomes available. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated i t is something they could do in-house later. Mayor Coleman asked if six tennis courts would be enough. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell commented probably not,but they have an agreement with the school district regarding another six courts. Mayor Coleman commented the school district could build those six courts someplace else. Councilmember Dietz commented the improvements look great. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and moved on to the next item. UPDATE TO CITY COUNCIL ON MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS COMPLIANCE STATUS )Management Assistant Shari Watson briefed the council on the item.She introduced three members from Mediacom in the audience:Cheryl Smith,Western Division Regional Director:John Williams,Apache Junction Plant Manager:and Julie Klauka,Customer Service Manager.They are here to answer any questions.As of February 14,100% of the nodes have been activated.All the reports and tests that were requested have been completed.The TDD machine was operational as of March 1.The emergency alert system is operational and four city staff members have been trained on it.Clean up on Roadhaven Mobile Home Park has been completed,the upgrade was completed as of January 31.She then briefed the council on how the emergency alert system works. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 6 OF 18 Mr.John Williams commented they are required to give weekly and monthly tests per the Federal Communications Commission.Those tests will give alert tones only to designate i t is a test, and they will run automatically. Management Assistant Shari Watson stated the city must be selective in what is determined to be an emergency. Any of the four staff members could dial in and leave a pre-recorded message. The message would be heard by audio and the corresponding video message would be telling the subscribers to turn to the city channel for further information.This will assist Patrick Brenner with his emergency operations plan.Items yet to be completed by Mediacom:the connection of public works with the city complex that will take six fiberoptic cables,i t should be operational in 60 days:a technology report covering emerging technologies is due by April 30;and two-way activation should be complete by July I .The latter would bring high speed Internet access.Mediacom is raising the basic service rate from $29.50 to $34.95.The 5%franchise fee will be attached to that,making the basic service rate $36.70.The rate is under review by the city.Customer service complaints have decreased;since February she has only received one which was addressed immediately.There are ongoing problems in that neighborhood and Mediacom staff will be attending a neighborhood meeting April 25 to answer any concerns.Mediacom is reviewing the operations involved in responding to after hours requests for service and a report should be back shortly. Councilmember Urich complimented Mediacom for being responsive to the issues that were brought up in February. Councilmember Eck asked if there is a local,24 -hour emergency number. Ms.Julie Klauka stated they are doing what is outlined in the agreement,which is the call going into a voice mall system,and the on call technician retrieves the messages on a half hour or hourly basis.She will submit a proposal to the city to send those after hours calls to one of their other call centers which is equipped to handle those calls 24 hours a day,seven days a week.It will be completely transparent to the customer. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 7 OF 18 Councilmember Eck commented he was dwelling so much on local he did not think about whether that would be the best customer service.His main concern is however i t can be handled best for the customer. Ms.Julie Klauka stated they do not believe the service they are currently giving is the best after hours service that can be provided.They were unable to obtain a local answering service to handle the calls.When the customer talks to the call center,i t will be just as if they are talking to the local office. Vice Mayor Surra commented she would be willing to trade calls going back to Wauseka if the rates were a little lower. Councilmember Durbala commented they have not had any problems with solar flares thus far. Ms.Julie Klauka stated the sun actually interferes with satellite transmissions twice a year.This causes the channels to fade in and out five to ten minutes at a time.They generally notify their customers when they are in that season.This is usually in October and March. Councilmember Eck commented no one likes to see rate increases,and this is a competitive market.However,he has never seen any cable company do what Mediacom is doing in this community. They are proving they are doing a lot of upgrades in the community. Ms.Julie Klauka stated they intend on doing more and actively participating in the community. Management Assistant Shari Watson stated i t is time to do a technical audit on the system.She will be seeking approval for the audit at the next council meeting. UPDATE CITY COUNCIL ON THE PUBLIC WORKS STREET CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AND BOND PROJECTS REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 8 OF 18 )Public Works Director Doug Dobson briefed the council on the item.Saguaro Drive has been paved:the flatwork on Ocotillo should be completed by this Friday and i t should be paved by the first week of May.Bids have been advertised for Phelps and the project at 2nd Avenue and Winchester.Bids for Broadway from Meridian to Ironwood should out the first of next week.Chip sealing will start April 30,and it will include 25 miles of chip sealing.He will be doing a presentation in May regarding the life of the pavement and the conditions of the streets. Councilmember Eck asked if they had to contract out some striping. Public Works Director Doug Dobson stated Peter Plante is working on a bid for that now. City Manager Curtis Shook stated the city census figures went up to almost 32,000 and preliminary reports are that the HURF allocation would be enhanced by $625.000.He is looking at coming back with a phase two street bond program utilizing up to $550,000 of that with some allowance for personnel and operations.The second phase would be to borrow an additional $6 to $10 million for reconstruction of other roads and to expand the current program.He has already started moving on this as the rates have not been better in a long time.There would be no tax consequence to the residents.He hopes to have more information on that in May. MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF PRE -ANNEXATION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH FREISLAND FOUR PEAKS MOBILE HOME PARK )Mr.Sean Lake,10 W.Main Street, Mesa,briefed the council on the item.They are requesting an amendment to the development agreement of 1998 to allow used units to be placed in the park.Currently they can only put new units in the park.Substantial changes have occurred in the market:there is a substantial inventory of nearly new units that have been repoed by the credit bureaus.They are available and very similar to new units and are being sold for about twenty-five cents on the dollar.They are trying to adapt to the market conditions so they can compete with the other parks.Buyers are discouraged as they cannot place these units in their park since they are used:they have to go elsewhere.The market conditions are placing them at an extreme disadvantage with the other REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 9 OF 18 parks and they cannot compete.They are not able to sell units.They would like some relief from the council.They know they agreed to placing only new units originally,but they need to be able to compete with the other parks. They would like to be able to place "nearly new"units,those that are 1997 or newer.They could then access the repo market,place them in the park and refurbish them to look like new.This would accomplish the goal of the city of having new units in the park;the only way one could tell the age would be to look at the manufactured date on the unit. spaces they have in the park. spaces. park opened. Councilmember Eck asked how many Mr.Sean Lake stated they have 351 Councilmember Eck asked when the An unidentified man in the audience stated they have been selling them since last June. Councilmember Eck asked how many spaces are occupied. Mr.Sean Lake stated they have sold one unit. Vice Mayor Surra asked if there has been any studies done on the structural stability of a nearly new moved manufactured home. Mr.Sean Lake stated he is not aware of any studies.I t is not commonplace to move them,but i t can be done.They are encouraging permanency in this park.There should be no problem with structural integrity,but they would check with the manufacturer and the warranty. Vice Mayor Surra asked the age of the unit that is there. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 10 OF 18 Mr.Sean Lake stated i t is either a 1999 or 2000 unit.They are trying to reach into the repo market and save people a significant amount of money.Currently,someone would pay $60,000 for a new unit in their park and pay $20,000 for effectively the same unit in a park down the street.This has created a real problem. Vice Mayor Surra commented people buying computers have the same problem.What is good today may not be good tomorrow.Those are risks that businessmen and consumers take. Mr.Sean Lake agreed with her,but computers are outdated very quickly.There is not much of a change in mobile homes from year to year in structure and the way i t is built.You could not tell the difference between a 1999,a 2000,a 2001 or a 2003 unit.You could with computers or cars. Councilmember Eck asked if the rates are competitive with other parks,or if the lease is longer than the other parks. Mr,Sean Lake stated their rates are competitive,but they are not the cheapest park. rate is. audience stated i t is $289 to start. involved a long term lease. Mr.Sean Lake stated i t is a minimum of a year.They are competitive,especially with the amenities that they have to offer. Councilmember Eck asked what the The unidentified man from the Councilmember Eck asked if that Councilmember Urich commented the pre -annexation agreement was signed in October 1999.That agreement clearly states that only new double -wide units would be provided.I t does not say "kind of new". REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 11 OF 18 Mr.Sean Lake commented he knows that is something they agreed to,but market conditions have changed.There is a tremendous inventory of repo units they are competing against.They are pleading for some latitude.They have only sold one unit since June,and they do not want to go out of business.He does not think the city wants them to go bankrupt.They want it to be a first class park,but they need some help from the city. Vice Mayor Surra commented she could not see the council changing the agreement as it clearly reflects the thinking of what the people want and how they want the city to develop.She is not willing to go against their liking. Councilmember Eck commented he has several questions.He would like to know exactly what the market is.He is not in favor of changing the agreement,but he would like to see if the rates are comparable and if that is why this park is not progressing. Vice Mayor Surra commented there is only one unit in there now.If something else happens and they have to do something else there,only one unit would have to be moved.If a number of nearly new units are moved in and i t still does not fill the park enough to make i t a viable business,then there would be more units to be concerned with.The council is lessening the burden by not allowing them to fill i t with nearly new units.She added they might not consider being in that business if they cannot sell them new. Mr.Sean Lake commented they are the only park that has the restriction of having to have all new units. Vice Mayor Surra commented they are probably the only park that has an agreement that was knowingly signed restricting that. Mr.Sean Lake asked why i t should make a big difference if they could not tell the difference between a new model and a 1998 model.This could either send them out of business or keep them in business. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 12 OF 18 Councilmember Dietz commented the timing is odd.The agreement was done in 1999,they started sales in June, and they have only sold one unit.He asked what had changed during that time. There are new units being brought out here every day,and those are going somewhere. Mr.Sean Lake stated the markets are really soft right now,especially the new market.The repo market is in demand.The new units are not being sold like they were three to five years ago. Councilmember Eck asked if there are development fees and sales tax on new units,but not on nearly new ones. City Manager Curtis Shook stated a new unit would have sales tax attached to it.A resale would not:it would not be subject to sales tax a second time. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated that is correct.The big difference is the 2.2%cost of a new unit versus 0% cost of a used unit. City Manager Curtis Shook stated the market has changed a lot.There is a basic fear of putting a brand new unit that you own on a piece of rented property.People were up in arms over their rents being raised so high,and he has been told i t has had an effect on parks. Vice Mayor Surra commented she believes i t has more to do with the cost after the purchase of setting i t up in a park where they do not own the land.I t has become a continuing problem. I t is difficult selling one that is already in a park that is vacant:it takes well over a year,new or old. Mr.Sean Lake commented it would help if they could come in and place a unit that cost them $20.000 that three years ago would have cost them $60.000. Vice Mayor Surra asked how much the unit cost that is in there now. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 13 OF 18 Mr.Sean Lake commented i t cost approximately $65,000. Vice Mayor Surra commented i t is now a year old.She asked if they could sell i t for $30,000 since i t is now a year old. Mr.Sean Lake stated he is not familiar with the in -place market but he assumed it would be similar to the repo market.There would be cost savings as the unit is already in place.I f a repoed unit is bought,the owner would have to incur the costs associated with putting i t in place. Councilmember Eck asked if a customer could go to any manufactured home seller or would they have to go to the park to buy it. Mr.Sean Lake stated i t can be bought anywhere. Councilmember Eck asked if the park requires them to buy the unit from them. Mr.Sean Lake stated they prefer them to buy the unit from them.When times are tough,they make changes. Councilmember Eck commented it was bought anywhere. requires them to buy the unit from them. not their previous policy. Mr.Sean Lake stated it was not. Councilmember Eck asked where someone would have to go to move a unit into the park. Mr.Sean Lake stated they would come in to look at the models they have set up there. Councilmember Eck commented they cannot come in and say they just bought a new unit and they want to move i t into the park. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 17,2001 PAGE 14 OF 18 Mr.Sean Lake stated that unit would have to comply with all of their architectural guidelines and be ground set. Vice Mayor Surra asked if the pictures provided are reflective of their architectural guidelines. Mr.Sean Lake stated those are examples of model units.Awnings and various things are added to enhance them once they are brought into the park. Vice Mayor Surra commented the models look fairly standard and they should be able to be bought just about any place. Mr.Sean Lake stated they are not in the city so they are not paying sales tax.They are,however,paying development fees. Councilmember Eck asked if they were not paying sales tax on new sales. Mr.Sean Lake stated they are not annexed into the city.The city receives no sales tax or development fees i f they do not sell units.He commented if they go out of business,the city loses as well. Councilmember Urich commented the city loses nothing if they are not annexed.. Mr.Sean Lake stated they currently pay the impact fees as part of the agreement. Vice Mayor Surra commented if they are not selling,they are not impacting the city. Mr.Sean Lake commented they have already paid a lump sum for a portion of the park. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion.
