MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. AWARDS,PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS None. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Councilmember Urich SECONDED THE Mr.Raymond Blevins,730 W.Southern Avenue,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding the flooding in his area.He thanked the city staff for their assistance with his problem over the last ten years and their continuing commitment to solve the problem.He commented his house was built in 1981 so the city had to have issued the permit for his house to be built and others in the area.This would have been a city problem at that time. Ms.Lisa Twigg,711 W.23rd Avenue,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding flooding in her area.She thanked the city for its attention to the flooding.She commented Ron Grittman had stated at the work session that the flooding problem is more serious at San Marcos and Southern than where the water flows through her property,the Blevins property and the properties behind them.However,some of the water emptying into San Marcos and Southern comes from her property and the alley behind her.As block walls have been constructed,the water will not be able to drain in that direction and it will back up on her property.They have had water come in their house and garage and have videos of past floodings.They had agreed to the storm drainage easement on the east side of their property when it was purchased in 1991,but they were unaware their entire property was a wash.They have been told their REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 3 OF 18 house was build 1.5'too low.As the city issued the building permit,she believes the city should take responsibility for her house being built too low. Mr.Dan Wald,3400 S.Ironwood Drive,#260,Apache Junction,addressed the council to thank them for passing the economic development agreements for the Chamber of Commerce and the Main Street Program.He encouraged the council to consider acquiring certain properties along the city corridor that would enhance economic development.Many of them are currently privately -owned and they have been difficult in allowing various businesses to have appropriate access.There are programs available in other states they might want to research,such as the North Dakota Future Fund,the Minnesota Future Fund,the South Dakota Future Program,the Wyoming Future Program,and others in Arizona and California.A key element in those programs is a 1%sales tax dedicated to economic development. Ms.Jane Blanton,455 E.Junction,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding massage therapy.She agrees with the city standards for massage therapists and the vice mayor's concerns for training and potential harm to the citizens.She briefed the council on her qualifications and requested being grandfathered in by having her Mesa license honored. Vice Mayor Surra asked staff to report back on any reciprocal agreements the city may have about acknowledging prior licenses from other cities that have similar standards.It would then be put on an agenda if necessary. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Curtis Shook commented the state is entering a period of recession.All East Valley communities are experiencing a drop in revenues from sales tax.Additionally,the governor is intending to cut the state- shared revenues by 4%,but it actually works out to 8% to 10%.It would mean a loss of approximately $250,000 for Apache Junction.The city is down about 10%in the first quarter of this year and we are looking at cash flow measures.The governor is calling for a special session around November 14 regarding the state -shared revenues and he will continue to track the issue. The city should be given the opportunity to speak on what such a loss would mean.He commended the council for their foresight in doing the budget by not adopting the census -enhanced state -shared revenues.He believes the city has REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 4 OF 18 positioned itself so it does not have to be very worried,but they do have to be circumspect in what they do. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS None. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON ANY OF THE ABOVE LISTED AGENDA ITEMS None. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON OTHER PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTIONS DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING CURRENT CITY REQUIREMENTS FOR MASSAGE THERAPISTS ) )City Clerk Kathleen Connelly briefed the council on the item.There are no state regulations on this issue at this time.She gave a summary on other cities'requirements and the definition of what is a recognized school of massage.She commented the city does have a provision in the code for people with licenses from other cities but i t is conditional.No massage therapist shall be issued a license if the applicant fails to furnish a diploma or certificate of graduation from a recognized school of massage.However,a license may be issued if the applicant has been licensed to perform any massage or touching techniques in another city or state for two successive years and such license has not been revoked,suspended or denied renewal on the grounds of misconduct by the applicant,provided such applicant presents a diploma or certificate of graduation from a recognized school of massage together with a transcript of completed courses. Vice Mayor Surra asked if the license would still have to be in effect. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 5 OF 18 City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated that is not what the city code states. Vice Mayor Surra commented i t does not say anything about if it has lapsed,only if it was lost through whatever. City. Clerk Kathleen Connelly commented i t states if it was revoked,suspended or denied on the grounds of misconduct. Vice Mayor Surra commented if it had lapsed due to a move or something,they could still look at the license i f they had attended a school. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated 1-Lwould have to meet our definition of.a school. Vice Mayor Surra.askedjf that would be thecase if the license was issued when that school may not have had the credentials,but now has them. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated it would have to be the same school.It cannot be a subsequent school as the criteria may be different.The applicant must have proof of being licensed by other communities for two years,present a diploma or certificate of graduation from a school of massage that has rules that match up with ours, and have a transcript of the completed courses. Mayor Coleman asked how long the Arizona •State Board of Private,Technical and_Business:Schools and the Arizona State Post Secondary Board of Education had been in existence. City Clerk .Kathleen Connelly was uncertain but commented some of the old ordinances on the books have those entities mentioned. touncilmember Eck commented there is no .possibility of an applicant thattad attended a school ,from-long ago that was not officially recognized,even though they had a license elsewhere,being able to be licensed here since the school is not recognized:... REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 6 OF 18 City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated the surrounding communities have the same criteria and definition of a recognized school of massage as Apache Junction does. Vice Mayor Surra commented if they have had a license somewhere else they probably have gone to a school that met the definition. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated that is correct.If they were licensed by that jurisdiction,they would have had to fulfill that definition. Vice Mayor Surra asked what would have happened if they did not. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated they would not have been given a valid license. Vice Mayor. Surra asked if they were looked at on a case by case basis. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated the city has t Mayor Coleman commented he understood that when Mesa changed their requirements to include graduation or a certificate from a recognized school that they grandfathered some i n at that time. City Cleric Kathleen Connelly stated• that was for -a limited .grandfathered -period.They did not change their definitions,but changed the hours required.People who had licenses under the old rules were.allowedto operate for a limited period of time in -order to bring up their number of hours.Once that time had elapsed,those individuals. that,had not met!the:new educational hours could not,have their licenses renewed.Tempe did the same thing. Vice Mayor: Surra commentedAhat means that someone could have lost their city license;elsewhere ,fdr other than misconduct. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 7 OF 18 City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated that is correct. Mayor Coleman commented he believed her recommendation would be to keep the code the way i t is now but review it periodically. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated they would be automatically reviewing it.If something is adopted by the state,it would be brought to council.She commented the League would probably be very active in drafting any changes to be made since so many cities have something on the books regarding this.She added if Ms.Blanton could produce a diploma and the transcripts,she believes she would qualify under the ordinance.However,she needs to produce the documentation. usually provides model ordinances. that is correct. and called for a motion. Mayor Coleman asked if the League City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated Mayor Coleman closed the discussion Vice Mayor Surra MOVED THAT STAFF BE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS REGARDING THE CURRENT CITY REQUIREMENTS FOR MASSAGE THERAPISTS:WE MONITOR FOR CHANGES IN ANY CHANGES IN STATE LAW AND UPDATE OUR ORDINANCE AS NEEDED;AND TO GATHER ANY OTHER RECIPROCITY ITEMS THAT MAY NOT MEET OUR STANDARDS BUT THAT OTHER CITIES ARE USING OTHER THAN OUR OWN STANDARD JUST SO WE CAN COMPARE. Councilmember Dietz SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING FLOODING ISSUES IN THE VICINITY OF SOUTHERN REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 8 OF 18 AVENUE AND SAN MARCOS DRIVE )Councilmember Eck commented he believes everyone would like to get this fixed as soon as possible,but i t will be an ongoing problem.He asked for this to be on the agenda to determine if there was anything the city could do for a short time remedy while the master plan is being worked on. Vice Mayor Surra commented she was concerned that the two areas that were discussed at the work session and their representatives have a varying opinion as to the obligation that the city has to solve their problem.If the permits were issued through city offices,then there should be a record of a drainage plan that was passed. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated the subdivision actually started construction in 1972.That is when the roads were put in.I t has taken decades to construct all the homes in the area. The Twigg property was probably one of the last built in the area.The issuance of a permit regarding flooding issues typically only applies to areas within an established FEMA flood plain.The finished floor elevation must be one foot above the 100 -year storm event.This area is not within a FEMA flood plain or anything the city would have mapped at that point.He commented i t is inadvertent that the homebuilder did not build the home 1.5'higher.If he had,they would not be having this problem.Mr.Blevins would still have his, but not the Twiggs.The city has no ability to determine what the finished floor elevation is unless its within a mapped flood plain. Vice Mayor Surra commented that the fact that i t looks like i t sits in the middle of a wash has no bearing. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated i t has not been mapped to determine how big the wash is or the height of the - water. Vice Mayor Surra stated she recognized the lack of information available at that time but i t does not meet with her satisfaction. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated the only requirement to establish that elevation is when you are in the Waters of the United States.This small wash running through the neighborhood is not REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 9 OF 18 considered one of the Waters of the United States.Engineering could determine the elevation of those waters,but i t is a matter of time and money. Vice Mayor Surra asked if the drainage study will give them information on this wash. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated i t will tell the volume of water that the city will be dealing with.It will not determine the elevation the water will rise to during a storm event. Vice Mayor Surra asked if the information supplied in the drainage study would assist in the calculation of the elevation. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated elevation studies are very detailed surveys.They would map down to less than an inch what the elevation is and all of the structures around it.I t requires an inordinate amount of money. Vice Mayor Surra asked if they might want to do that for those identified areas,not for the whole city.She believes they need the additional study for those areas. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated the current engineering staff is capable of doing that level of analysis. However,if this is done other projects, :including roadway projects,would not: get designed.I t is a matter ofpriorities.He would like tO find the volume of water they will be dealing with and then he can put in pipes that will handle the flow, Vice Mayor Surra commented that would reduce the height going into the area.- City Engineer Ron Grittman stated that is correct.He needs to determine the volume rather than the height. Councilmember Dietz asked if the study will tell how much water is running down 23rd Avenue to Buena Vista and that would tell them what kind of action to take. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 10 OF 18 City Engineer Ron Grittman stated that is correct. Councilmember Dietz asked if they would have known this from past history. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated the drainage studies they have were all done about fifteen years ago.The last water master plan wasJione_in 1984.It does not specifically identify this particular corner.The problem did not exist at that time as most of the houses were not built and the water did not flow through there.A lot of the studies were done before the current level of development. Councilmember Dietz asked if all of the water at this corner is being generated by their subdivision and the southwest end. City Engineer Ron Grittman showed them on a map how the water flows.:They are seeing water coming from within their neighborhood and upstream of their neighborhood. Councilmember Milkey stated he agreed with CouncilmemberEck.He would like to find a short term fix for the problem until the study: is complete:He invited input-from -the:neighborhood, such: as their knowledge of fa new channel that the water could be diverted to. Councilmember Dietz suggested: they try to do something about all of the washes that ,th&city has repeated flooding With..It:may be years down the Toad befOre they can get everything takencareof if they wait for the master plan. •City Engineer Ron Grittman stated they are only starting it once they getthe:study done: Councilmember Dietz commented they have people here, on Delaware, Tepee.and Other plates that are ,constantly: getting flooded out wit-revery storm we have.:We have to lookilard ,at some short term solution. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 11 OF 18 City Engineer Ron Grittman:stated they can come up with a solution,: but it ,is a matter of funding. • Councilmember Dietz stated they need to figure out how much i t is going to cost and then do what they need to do. He feels the city needs to do something. Councilmember Milkey asked if they can expedite the study. City Engineer Ron Grittmarrstated they are moving as quickly as they can.Kimley-Horn is aware of the importance of this and the problems thecity has. Vice Mayor Surra.asked if they could go for the larger -sized boxes to handle the volume now instead of waiting -for the results of the study.If it is More than the city needs,than i t is more than the city needs.' City Engineer Ron 'Grittman stated those larger boxes would cost more.Hecommented this area mould take $500,000 if council wanted t!cYset that priority on it • Vice Mayor Surra commented waiting- seems bad.She ,would lik&to get Started on those areas already identified and put the larger boxes in.;.They Might be ,,able ,to make up the costs at locations later,on where they KnOwlfie exact volumes..: City Engineer Ron GrittMan'commented they will have to decide:whatJeyel of protection i t should be built to.He is not aware of any city building to convey all the water in a 100 -year storm event:I t is not affordable.They need to decide on whetherto fiandle 25- year or 504year ,storms.Structures should convey the :100 -year storm,but i t is a matter b-reconomics:If they :put too large a box in ,one area,costing the city an additional $150,000 that is money: that coulckhaveteenused in another area toiresolVe another problem:He would rather'try to size and expend the appropriate, amount of mOney to find the prOpersolution for the area. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 12 OF 18 Vice Mayor Surra suggested some of the money from the Southern and San Marcos area could be given to the 23rd Avenue area.They supposedly get some of their runoff so it would lessen the runoff. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated funding sources will be coming out of the master plan.Council will decide at that point which ones to use. Vice Mayor Surra asked if they are adjusting the development fees so that they could be used for this type of improvement,or is there a development fee that could be used for this type of improvement.I t appears that when new subdivisions are built,they impact the previous residents flooding. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated new homes are required to deal with their own problems.He is concerned that if they collect utility funds from developers without being in the storm water business,they might not have the authority to expend them. Vice Mayor Surra suggested when roads are torn up to put in the boxes,road funds could be used to repave the roadway. Councilmember Dietz asked if there are grants available. City Engineer Ron Grittman stated there are.Superstition and Broadway both had extensive storm drain systems put in within the first few miles using bond money. money somewhere that they could access. there is bond money. Vice Mayor Surra commented there is City Engineer Ron Grittman stated Vice Mayor Surra commented they could take another bond out once that one is paid. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 13 OF 18 City Manager Curtis Shook commented they can ask the development fee consultant if it is legal to charge a development fee for this issue.If so,they can ask for one to be included. The problem is a lot of the major washes in the northeast and northwest are not under city control:they are individually owned.The city has been trying to get those owners to give the drainage channels to the city for maintenance. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion. Councilmember Eck MOVED THAT STAFF CONTINUE TO ALLEVIATE THE FLOODING ISSUES IN THE VICINITY OF SOUTHERN AVENUE AND SAN MARCOS TO STAFF'S CURRENT,FULLEST POTENTIAL,MEANING PLEASE KEEP BRAINSTORMING,DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING AS FAR AS WEED CONTROL AND TYPE OF BERMING,FOR THE SHORT TERM,AND THEN INFORM MAYOR AND COUNCIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN THE CITY-WIDE DRAINAGE STUDY IS COMPLETE AND WHAT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE. Couniclmember Milkey SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING DOG RUN AT PROSPECTOR PARK )Councilmember Urich commented she would like staff to check with other cities for possible ideas.She stated we may be the only city in the East Valley that does not have one. Vice Mayor Surra stated she would like to see if this could be worked into one of the park improvements.She would not like to see i t restricted to Prospector Park,but for i t placed where and when i t is most suitable and feasible. Councilmember Urich commented she was willing to make that change. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 2,2001 PAGE 14 OF 18 Councilmember Dietz asked i f liability and legality was included in her motion. Councilmember Urich stated they are. Councilmember Eck commented he believes this should be brought before the Parks & Recreation Commission for their ideas. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly read a comment from Councilmember Durbala regarding this item.He had asked that i t be read into the record: "I feel that we should be more concerned with having more things for our children first before we worry about dogs.I feel that the other hand ball courts are a better way to spend money or an exercise run for adults to be a better use of funds at this time. Mayor Coleman asked Jeff Bell to address the council. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell commented he has some information at hand on dog parks in the neighboring communities.He appreciated Councilmember Eck's suggestion on having the Parks & Recreation Commission give input on the issue. They will be updating the long range improvement program and this will be added.Upon completion,they will share the information with the council. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called fora motion. Councilmember Urich MOVED THAT !STAFF BE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING DIRECTION REGARDING THE DOG RUN WITHIN THE CITY PARK SYSTEM:CONTACT CITIES OF CHANDLER,MESA,TEMPE AND THE TOWN OF GILBERT FOR POSSIBLE IDEAS:DETERMINE APPROPRIATE SIZE,COST, LIABILITY,LOCATION,AND BRING BACK RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNCIL VIA THE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION.
