CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr.Dale Sheppard,2146 W.Greasewood,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding code enforcement.He has been trying to get the city to assist him in cleaning up his neighbor's property for the last two years.There are nine vehicles currently on the lot,plus garbage.He commented the man bought a new pick-up truck in January and went with temporary plates for nine months before putting Oregon plates on it for about three weeks.There are now no plates on the vehicle.He urged the city to cite his neighbor.He believes the condition of his neighbor's property has made it difficult to sell his property. Mr.William Ashcraft,1051 N.Grand Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council also regarding code enforcement and inaction on the same neighbor's property.He complained about numerous cars being brought in from Oregon with REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 2 OF 37 the plates left on them.They were only removed after he called the state and their representative came out and told him they had to be removed.The man claims to be a resident of Oregon,but when there was a city council opening recently the man applied.He claimed he has been trying to get the lot cleaned up for four or five years.The man also bought the house behind him, putting it in his dad's name and allowing his son to live there.The property is so cluttered it looks like a chop shop,a paint shop,a welding shop and a mechanic shop all at the same time.He has brought this to the city's attention but nothing has been done.He urged the city to take some action on this property. Mr.Jerry Dean,825 W.12th Avenue,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding a hub cap coming off a police car and the removal of his yard sale signs.Even though it rolled in front of the police car,the officer did not stop to retrieve the hub cap.Another police car came by about 20 minutes later,possibly the same one,and the officer looked at the hub cap but did not pick it up.He stated he did not want to pay for the replacement,nor for the insurance if the hub cap had hit someone.He returned the hub cap to the city.In addition,he had a yard sale three weeks ago.Code enforcement removed his signs after they had been put up.He called the supervisor and was told he would have his signs back to him within an hour.He never received them. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding a transit survey.The newspaper article stated one thousand people would be surveyed;he believes more people should be surveyed and a regional plan should be developed with Apache Junction taking the leadership role.He recently attended a Maricopa Association of Governments meeting and many of the attendees have come to the conclusion that public transit is long overdue in the valley. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT City Manager Curtis Shook stated Sergeant Haywood is here to update the council on the Duncan Memorial. Sergeant Robert Haywood stated this has been an ongoing project for three years.The three columns are in place with the tops inside the police department at this time.The tops will be going on Thursday,November 4.The dedication will be November 9 at 7:00 p.m.The honor guard and other law REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 3 OF 37 enforcement entities will be attending.This became a community project with numerous people to thank.Many city employees went above and beyond to get this accomplished.He added the memorial finished at about $4,000 over budget. City Manager Curtis Shook stated the city has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting,which is a highly coveted honor.It was awarded for the financial year ending June 30,1998.He read the plaque and presented it to the council.Mayor Coleman suggested presenting it to Keith Lewis to hang in his office. PUBLIC HEARINGS APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL EVENT LIQUOR LICENSE FOR APACHE JUNCTION ROTARY CLUB #1246 FOR SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN STAMPEDE ) )City Clerk Kathleen Connelly briefed the council on the item.Various organizations have come together in the past for special events,and this year the Rotary Club is applying for the event.It will cover three days,November 26 -28,and representatives are here to answer any questions. Mayor Coleman requested the applicant address the council. Mr.Jed Williams,1034 W.4th Avenue,addressed the council to answer any questions.There were no questions. Mr.Gary Mulholland,chairman of the rodeo committee,commented the rotary club will also be taking over Lost Dutchman Days.He stated "Superstition Mountain" will precede the Stampede in its name,and "Apache Junction" will precede Lost Dutchman Days in its name. This will identify both major events with the community.He mentioned the various organizations and city departments that assist with these events.He commented all students will be allowed into the rodeo on November 26 with a $2 admission.He invited everyone to attend. Council member Durbala stated he was glad to hear that the city's name would be included in Lost Dutchman Days. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 4 OF 37 Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item.There being no one wishing to speak,he closed the public hearing and reopened the item to council discussion.There being no further discussion,he called for a motion. Vice Mayor Surra MOVED THAT THE SPECIAL EVENT LIQUOR LICENSE FOR APACHE JUNCTION ROTARY CLUB #1246 FOR THE SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN STAMPEDE TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 26 -28,1999 BE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL TO THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF LIQUOR LICENSES AND CONTROL. Councilmember Durbala SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1106/ANNEXATION CASE AN -2-99 )Associate Planner Paul Michaud briefed the council on the item.There are two pieces of property;the first is a 40 acre property at the northeast corner of Baseline and Tomahawk,and the second is a strip of state land totaling about 55 acres.The 40 acres is currently zoned for a recreational vehicle park,the general plan designates it commercial.The owners are requesting this be later zoned for a 187 lot single family subdivision.The state land strip is zoned general rural with a mix of general plan designations.He briefly went over the annexation process. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Bill Ashcraft wanted to know how long it would be before the owners of the mobile homes,once they move in, start complaining about the landfill.He commented the city needs the landfill more than it needs more mobile homes there.He urged they consider it carefully before it is sold for mobile homes. Development Services Director Glen REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 5 OF 37 Van Nimwegen commented the zoning is already there,as that is the equivalent to the zoning given it by the county.The rezoning will be before the council shortly. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He opened the item to council discussion.There being no council discussion,he called for a motion. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1106 BE READ BY TITLE ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE BE WAIVED. Councilmember Insalaco SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly read the ordinance by title only. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.1106,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED AND ADOPTED. Councilmember Insalaco SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.99-48/DECLARING THE APACHE JUNCTION GENERAL PLAN A PUBLIC RECORD;PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.99-49/ ADOPTING THE APACHE JUNCTION GENERAL PLAN ) )Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen briefed the council on the item.He commented this item had been discussed at the work session last evening.He added Rick Counts was in attendance to answer any questions.He was aware of concern about the lower REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 6 OF 37 density areas,it can be stricken from the draft if the draft is approved tonight.This is not the final draft;there is money in the budget to have it printed and have a graphic summary done.Resolution No.99-48 adopts the plan as a public record,Resolution No.99-49 puts the plan in place. Mayor Coleman opened the item to discussion by the council. Councilmember Eck asked him to explain the work put into the lots in the low density area. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated he thought the concern was the northwest area where the land use changed from 0-2 to 0-1.There is some existing zoning and development above there,so there should be some opportunity for infill without amending the general plan.He suggested changing the wording to the northwest part of the low density area as having existing zoning and development that considerably exceeds what is recommended by the development plan,and that consideration may be given to infill development plans that do not raise the overall density. Councilmember Eck asked what the difference would be between doing that and a general plan amendment,including the dollar amount. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated the new fees have a general plan amendment at $750 plus $10 per acre. Councilmember Eck stated he was concerned with areas where someone with a larger lot in between mobile home parks with smaller lots now wants to split his lot into smaller lots.It would now have to be a general plan amendment as it is going from medium to high density.He is concerned about the landlocked properties. Mayor Coleman,Vice Mayor Surra and Councilmember Urich commented they were not concerned with that. Mayor Coleman stated the ability to change is still there,but it will take a greater persuasion of the council. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 7 OF 37 Councilmember Eck stated he was concerned as to who would be sitting on the council when that owner applied, as it may not be this council. Mayor Coleman agreed that it may not be them,but it could be someone elected by them. Councilmember Durbala commented his problem with the general plan has been the Growing Smarter legislation and possible Sierra Club referendum;i t is unknown what effect this will have on the general plan if it is adopted at this time. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated it is unknown.He is unsure if they should wait and see; he recommended going with the statutes that are on the books today. Councilmember Durbala asked if the state can come in and sell the state land the city is using for its trail system.He is concerned that it could be sold for commercial use. Mayor Coleman asked how long the lease lasts. Councilmember Durbala commented he believes they can still come in and sell it even if it is leased. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated the lease is a twenty-five year lease. Councilmember Durbala asked if a developer could come in and buy the land even if it is being leased. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated they could not buy the Bureau of Land Management land. Councilmember Durbala asked if he could buy the state land next to it. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated the developer could buy that land. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 8 OF 37 City Attorney Joel Stern commented it could be purchased by a developer,but if the city does not agree with the use,the city does not have to grant a building permit. Councilmember Durbala asked if the state would deny any further annexations south of the city if the city refuses to allow the developers to develop the property purchased from state land. The intent of the state land was to sell it and make a profit for the school districts.He likes the general plan,but he cannot vote for it as he wants to find out what the new legislation will be.They may have to start all over again if the legislation changes. Mayor Coleman asked if this would still be basically compliant if either of the propositions pass,requiring only some revision.He commented Growing Smarter requires a city to review their general plan every five or ten years. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated that is correct.The Sierra Club initiative requires the city to adopt a growth boundary and not go beyond it.It should not effect Apache Junction as our growth is dependent on state land.It is up to the State Land Trust to determine where the growth will go.The proposed general plan should be compliant and only require some amendments. Councilmember Durbala asked if the Sierra Club had stated they are going to get even tougher and stronger on the issue.He does not want to pass something that may be outdated.He would like to see the results of the latest session before passing this. Vice Mayor Surra commented a general plan is a living document that can be amended through the general plan amendment process.The city would be without a general plan at this time if the city always waited for the legislature to make up their minds.The city needs to go about its business.The general plan will enable the city to enforce how the city wants things to happen and where they will happen.The city needs to start somewhere.She would rather be ahead of the game in letting everyone know how the city feels about things and than let someone here see if the citizens want to change the direction Apache Junction is going in. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 9 OF 37 Councilmember Durbala commented the Growing Smarter legislation was passed halfway through the general plan process.No one totally understands it as they are always getting different interpretations.If staff does not have all the facts,and we end up with growth rings,we may not be able to change certain types of zoning as we do not know what the program is.He would rather wait to make sure.He is worried about what the Sierra Club will finally say.A general plan is hard to change as you have to have a certain amount of councilmembers vote for the change. Mayor Coleman commented it would be the same for the existing plan.He asked if he would rather go with the existing plan than with the update. Councilmember Durbala stated he would rather wait to see what will happen with the Growing Smarter legislation,and he does not think that will take long. Mayor Coleman commented that would mean going with the existing plan rather than the update. Councilmember Durbala stated he did not know that.There has been nothing passed by the state legislature and there is possibly a new referendum.He would rather wait and see what happens. Councilmember Urich stated the present general plan is over ten years old,and she does not feel is i t general enough.She has never lived her life "what if",and she does not believe the leaders in the community should lead their lives "what if".She would prefer to pass this general plan,as initiatives can change.She believes this is a good plan. Mayor Coleman asked Rick Counts i f he had anything to add. Mr.Rick Counts stated he believes the general plan characterizes Apache Junction and where the community is going.This is one of the few communities in a position to meet that which the state legislature has passed.The consultants and staff have worked hard REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 10 OF 37 to be in compliance with general and subject to question legislation.The consultants and staff have been in contact within the last three weeks with representatives of the Growing Smarter Commission who have delivered their report stating that Apache Junction has done everything it can to respond to the legislation.The legislation may change and there may be referendums,but the city has approved its position in modernizing its planning policy as a result of the work put into this document. City Attorney Joel Stern asked if this would be the first general plan adopted by a city in the State of Arizona under Growing Smarter. Mr.Rick Counts stated Show Low adopted theirs a couple of weeks ago.Other communities are moving towards adoption,and their processes have changed to meet the legislation as this city has.The city has made the effort to be in compliance,notwithstanding the questions raised by Councilmember Durbala. Vice Mayor Surra commented she wanted the city to have a viable plan that meets the legislative guidelines and directives as they appear today;the old plan does not.It will always be a continuing process to make updates.The product should reflect the input of the people who live here now.The general plan is a starting point for where you begin when you are trying to address those concerns.She thinks they need to adopt and have a plan in effect that meets the current legislation guidelines. Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the items. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,addressed the council.He was at the last general plan discussion in October and he was unpleasantly surprised that industrial zoning was going to be reduced.A recent study by Arizona State University showed that winter visitor population would be dropping,and he inquired if this would be of concern for the city.He is concerned about dropping and having less industrial zoning.He is concerned about where new residents will work if there is less commercial and industrial businesses,plus no viable transit alternative.He asked if the city would be fined for not voting on this general plan today.He stated he has asked for a copy of this general plan REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 11 OF 37 several times and has yet to receive a copy.He again mentioned the discussion at Maricopa Association of Governments for a mass transit system. He commented there are residents moving out here now:one cannot go by what the current residents are saying.It should be left open-ended. Mr.Walt Pool,a realtor with Century 21 Realty,addressed the council.He is here on behalf of one of his clients.They have a contract on a ten acre property that is on the north side of Tepee,which was intended to be a mobile home subdivision on that property.He has invested a lot of money and he is bewildered by the process that will be taking that density away from him.He has the property hooked up for sewer and water and has a chance to sell the property but the change would make it difficult for that to happen.He brought the council a letter concerning the problem.There are other mobile home subdivisions surrounding him. Councilmember Eck asked where the property was located. Mr.Walt Pool stated it is at Delaware and Tepee on the northwest corner. Councilmember Eck asked what the zoning was. Mr.Walt Pool stated it is zoned general rural. Mr.Jerry Dean,825 W.12th Avenue, addressed the council.He urged the council to adopt the general plan and not worry about what will happen in the future as they will make the future happen.He commented there is still no golf course and someone will be taking the land.He asked if the city has a lobbyist. Vice Mayor Surra commented the city hired one at the last meeting. Mr.Jerry Dean commented it is nice that people have different opinions,but one cannot keep waiting:it does not REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 12 OF 37 get things done.Whether it is right or wrong,he urged the council to adopt the general plan. Mr.Monte Nichols,head of industrial development for the Focused Future task force,commented he had requested a copy of the general plan and he would like to have a statement from the council on the direction they would like to plan to take.He would like to know if they are putting a fence up around Apache Junction or if they intend to build it.He offered his services in developing the land.He asked what the zoning will be for the Industrial Park. Councilmember Durbala invited him to look at the general plan.He commented that area is now called Employment Centers. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated it is zoned industrial and that will not change bylhe adoption of the general plan.No zoning will change with the adoption.The area is now shown as Employment Retail;it will mainly be for retail- generating uses and office uses.It will not effect the Baseline Industrial Park as the improvements are in and it is already zoned industrial. Mr.Monte Nichols stated these were things he needed to know.They have been waiting on this general plan,and he hopes the new plan will not hurt too many people. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Eck commented he liked this general plan.He has been to several of the meetings and he knows the input that has been added.There was only one part that he was concerned with and that has already been addressed. Councilmember Durbala asked if the pending mobile home subdivision would be vested. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 13 OF 37 Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated that is currently zoned general rural,and he could develop it along those guidelines. Councilmember Durbala asked if he would be vested in putting a mobile home park on the property. City Attorney Joel Stern stated they would have to look at the actual facts,if permits had been obtained and a file begun.It is a question for executive session. Councilmember Durbala stated he believed it should not be a legal question and should be answered here.The public should know the answer.If they have property they are intending to develop and the city changes the general plan,does it still give them the right under the old zoning to put on it what they want to. There was general discussion as to whether this was a simple question and if an executive session was immediately required. Vice Mayor Surra asked what constituted a vesting. City Attorney Joel Stern stated vesting occurs when there has been substantial investment in a piece of property and a building permit has been taken out.The developer can say he has relied on the building permit,he has invested money for engineers, drawings and his zoning rights. Councilmember Durbala asked if the investment of bringing water and sewer to the property was enough to say it was vested. City Attorney Joel Stern commented he does not know if this individual has submitted any plans.If none are submitted,it depends on the zoning of the actual property.A lot of factors are involved in the answer. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 114 OF 37 Vice Mayor Surra commented since the Industrial Park had already begun building,it had created an investiture for them. City Attorney Joel Stern stated that is correct.They also obtained their zoning. Mayor Coleman commented the general plan does not change zoning:it can be developed under what the current zoning is. City Attorney Joel Stern stated that is correct. Councilmember Durbala asked if they would have to come back for a general plan amendment since it will say that it is not in the general plan. Mayor Coleman stated they would have to do that anyway. City Attorney Joel Stern stated if they want to change the zoning from something that is not consistent with the proposed general plan,and that plan is adopted tonight,then they would have to get a general plan amendment passed by a two-thirds vote. Councilmember Durbala commented they apparently have no vested rights. City Attorney Joel Stern commented it would depend on what has been submitted. Councilmember Durbala stated it would be an individual by individual case.He asked if a plan submitted six months to two years ago would still be in effect,meaning a development plan or a rezoning application. City Attorney Joel Stern stated he could not answer that as for a case to be pending that long may mean that there are some problems. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 15 OF 37 Van Nimwegen stated would be sufficient development. would not. Development Services Director Glen he has never heard of any going on for that long. Councilmember Durbala asked if it for someone to just come in and talk to staff about a City Attorney Joel Stern stated it Councilmember Durbala stated they would have had to fill out a permit and start the process. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated he would have had to rezone the property and gone through plan review. City Attorney Joel Stern stated that was correct.He added just submitting a site plan application is not sufficient to vest rights. Councilmember Durbala asked what happens to those properties where the general plan designation changes from what it was before. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated when they come in for a rezoning they would have to meet the current general plan designation. Councilmember Durbala asked what if it was zoned for industrial before and it is now changed to commercial/employment retail;it cannot qualify for industrial. Vice Mayor Surra stated they are not talking about zoning.The zoning does not change;i t is the land use designation that is changing. Councilmember Durbala commented if i t is zoned industrial,and the general plan now calls that land employment retail base,they can still put industrial on it. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 16 OF 37 Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated that was correct. Councilmember Durbala asked if they could put mobile homes in an area that is now designated for open space in the new general plan. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated that is true if they already have that zoning. Councilmember Durbala asked if they would have to get a general plan amendment to change that. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated they do not if it is already zoned for that use. Councilmember Durbala stated it does not make any difference what the general plan says if the property is zoned differently. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated that is correct. Mayor Coleman stated they would only have to come in if they wanted to change the zoning. Councilmember Durbala commented he still does not think they should pass this general plan tonight. Councilmember Eck asked if a property is zoned general rural and under the current plan is designated medium density,and the new general plan calls for low density,how would the change affect that property. Development Services Director Glen Van Nimwegen stated it affects the density they can come in and ask for zoning at.They could not exceed one unit per acre without amending the general plan. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 17 OF 37 then do not get to keep their present clarify the difference between zoning affects a property. and called for a motion. Councilmember Durbala stated they zoning.

Councilmember Urich asked if she wanted to make an amendment. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 18 OF 37 Vice Mayor Surra commented she thought someone else might want to,she just wanted to make sure it was without the amendment. VOTE:4-3 (Councilmembers Durbala,Eck and Insalaco voted in opposition.) The motion failed as it needed at least a 5-2 vote (2/3 vote)to pass according to Growing Smarter legislation. City Attorney Joel Stern stated they have a resolution that declares a public record something that was not passed. Councilmember Eck stated he would rescind his vote. City Attorney Joel Stern stated a better procedure would be to make a new motion. Councilmember Eck MOVED THAT RESOLUTION NO.99-49,A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION,PINAL AND MARICOPA COUNTIES,ARIZONA,ADOPTING BY REFERENCE AND APPROVING THE APACHE JUNCTION GENERAL PLAN,BE APPROVED.

Mayor Coleman opened the public hearing on the item. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,addressed the council to comment that he does not like emergency clauses. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He opened the item to council discussion. Councilmember Insalaco asked if this would be brought up again in three years,as there is nothing in the motion.

City Attorney Joel Stern stated each councilmember will get a copy as soon as possible. MOTION. copy would be available for the council. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. OLD BUSINESS. None. NEW BUSINESS. ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT AND DISCUSSION OF THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN )City Manager Curtis Shook briefed the council on the item.The plan is for facilities that are permanent structures or systems to accommodate a variety of uses by members of the community or by government to provide efficient and effective facilities intended to maintain or improve the quality of life in Apache Junction.This has been discussed over several years.It will provide a long term plan to improve the quality of life.It is a whole program,meaning it also has funding options.It has a wide range of different projects to serve the community and is sensitive to the city's ability to borrow.He proposed a build out of five to seven years,though he estimates it to be finished in five years.He estimates a ten year payback.Funds were included in this year's budget for the design of facilities in order to provide hard construction cost estimates.They looked for partnerships where applicable, and some projects will allow for expansion of current facilities.The report has nine projects and the scope of each.To complete all of them,he proposes the city having to borrow up to $7,000,000 with a sales tax increase of .2 of one percent that would sunset in ten years maximum.If capital reserves and other revenues are up,it could be retired earlier. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 21 OF 37 Councilmember Durbala commented he understands why the city cannot afford to build a golf course,but they might want to look at the fact that Apache Creek Golf Course is up for sale again. Concerning the highway user revenue funds,he thought that a large chunk of that money had been committed to improvements on Broadway,University and Ironwood.He asked how much money was left or where it was coming from for the Apache Trail improvements. City Manager Curtis Shook stated there is a special account in the street fund from money received from the State Fund in 1993-1994.There is approximately $640,000 in the account earmarked for improvements on Apache Trail. Councilmember Durbala asked if the whole $6,000.000 will be used up,and if the sales tax revenue alone will be enough to help the city stay afloat and have some in reserve,or should they cut that down to $4,000,000 and leave $2,000,000 in reserve.He wanted to make sure they would not be hindered in the future with other projects they need. City Manager Curtis Shook commented he believes the projected local sales tax increase will cover all of the programs and still provide a mechanism to pay off the bonds in ten years. They should know by June 30 if the figure will be $6,000,000 or $6.4 million. He believes they will have enough cushion and they will be leveraging the money throughout the time period to cut down the interest on the bond.They may not have to go up to $7,000.000 because of the way revenue comes in,and he would like to leave the specificity to the time period in which they are doing it. Councilmember Durbala asked about the "new,one-time house sales tax". City Manager Curtis Shook stated it is not a new tax;it means they collect sales tax one time on the sale of new homes and subdivisions.It was not worded the way it should have been. Councilmember Durbala clarified that this is the .2 of a percent that is already being charged. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 22 OF 37 City Manager Curtis Shook stated that is correct. Councilmember Durbala commented the Town Hall showed that the three top priorities were city complex/conference center,multi -generational facility and public transportation.He asked if public transportation was not included in this capital facilities plan since the city is currently working on a public transportation survey. City Manager Curtis Shook stated this is the first long term facilities program.There is a desire to do golf, public transportation,a shared public works facility with the county and a conference center plus other things,but the cost of any one of those things would virtually wipe out the rest of the program.Staff looked at ways to begin answering those questions,but not everything could be put in this plan do to those costs and the financing ability.They will be in the future. Councilmember Durbala asked how the city can get a commitment from the state on land purchases when the state can still sell i t from underneath the city. City Manager Curtis Shook stated he believes they have uncovered a land initiative that would allow the city to ask for first consideration. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated the land would have to be classified first,and then the state cannot sell it out from under the city. Councilmember Durbala asked if it would be a lease or a purchase for the city. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated it would be designated as open space. City Manager Curtis Shook stated they would be pursuing that to protect the open space that the city now has. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 23 OF 37 Councilmember Eck asked if the $6,000,000 included the capital reserve and development fees up through what time. City Manager Curtis Shook stated staff believes that can be counted on as of June 30,2000. Councilmember Eck asked if any monies taken in after that will be used to rebuild the capital reserve. that is correct. percent is viable on the model tax code. is. City Manager Curtis Shook stated Mayor Coleman asked if .2 of a City Manager Curtis Shook stated it Councilmember Dietz asked if there was a chance the debt could be retired earlier. City Manager Curtis Shook stated he believes there is an excellent chance it will be retired early. Councilmember Dietz asked if they would still be able to refurbish the capital facilities fund at the same time. City Manager Curtis Shook stated he would like to bring that back to them annually,assessing their status.There will be highly visible improvements but it is his intention to build credibility with the voters for future capital facilities plans. Councilmember Eck asked if baseball diamonds for Little League will be included in the south side community park. City Manager Curtis Shook stated that is included.He commented they built a partnership with the school district as the owners of land available wanted high dollar for the property and it would have taken all of the funding.The school district has the land, REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 24 OF 37 the city will make the improvements,and the school district will make it a city park by lease or ownership.They have an area by the current pool. There may be a need in the future for a park south of that,and they have identified several tracts of state land that may be suitable.They are currently working on a proposal.There is a proposed 15 -acre planned development south of Baseline currently being worked on by staff,State Land and Johnson International which will have substantial recreational open space that could be a city park. Councilmember Eck commented he had not been aware of the Johnson International development. City Manager Curtis Shook stated staff has been talking about it for the last two years and this last week the city received a letter from State Land asking for comment for the purpose of an auction.It now looks like they are preparing to move forward. Councilmember Insalaco asked i f there would be a sunset on the .2 of a percent tax. City Manager Curtis Shook stated any ordinance brought before the council on it will have a sunset clause. Councilmember Insalaco asked i f there would be an extensive education process for the public. City Manager Curtis Shook stated they have started the initial process of getting the concept out to the news media.Other meetings are scheduled this week for key people who have been a part of the process,along with the Chamber of Commerce,Main Street and other entities affected.There will be handouts during neighborhood program meetings,and they intend on having a speaker's bureau for specific social and fraternal organizations. Councilmember Insalaco suggested having an open house for the public to come in and see what the city is working with:the closets people are working from for offices and the boxes piled all over in offices for lack of storage space.Invite them in to see the problems,as seeing is believing. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 25 OF 37 Councilmember Dietz asked if there is any priority in the items,or is the intent to do them as they are listed. City Manager Curtis Shook stated there is a lot of overlap in this.The initial concept calls for the renovation of the swimming pool,the skate center and the multi -generational community center.They will be the first projects as they are visible,usable and part of partnerships.Once the multi -generational center is built,the Senior Center will be moved out and the library can then be renovated. Councilmember Dietz suggested they do the south side community park since it will be located in the same area, thereby taking care of all the construction at the same time. City Manager Curtis Shook stated they can probably do that,depending on the approval of the program and the financing.He would also recommend that the city hire someone to oversee all the construction on these projects.There needs to be eyes at all of the projects. Councilmember Durbala commented there does not appear to be any time frame for public hearings:things need to be brought up before it is decided if this will go to a vote.He would like to see one,and he would like to see prioritizing to make sure the council is in general agreement with this.He would also like to discuss the amount to be spent in depth,and the type of financing.He suggested having meetings scheduled for discussion on this sole item. City Manager Curtis Shook stated he would like to put this on as a work session discussion item on the next several agendas.They need to pass a resolution on this on or before January 4 in order for this to be on the May ballot. having special meetings on this item only. is open to that. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 26 OF 37 Councilmember Durbala suggested City Manager Curtis Shook stated he Councilmember Durbala commented he hoped the press would put this item on their front pages so that the public would get a good idea about this. Mayor Coleman commented he did not think they would have to worry about that since it concerns a sales tax increase. Councilmember Durbala stated he does not think the sales tax will be a big factor.He believes the people want these projects and they will be standing in line to pass this. City Manager Curtis Shook stated it is his intention to have numerous discussions regarding the plan and the final structure of the plan. Councilmember Durbala asked if they should motion to have a special meeting on this. City Manager Curtis Shook stated it would be up to the council. Councilmember Durbala suggested they have a couple of special meetings for the council and a couple public hearings as soon as possible due to the time constraint. Councilmember Eck commented he does not know how much time they are looking at and he would prefer to just see it on a work session at this time.He has been staying in touch on it and he only has a few questions;he is not sure they need a special meeting. Councilmember Durbala commented he thought they would get a lot more discussed on the dollar amount and the financing there.He does not believe that could be covered in a work session. He thinks they need two work sessions for that and then two public hearings after that. Councilmember Eck commented he believed it would have several public hearings. City Manager Curtis Shook stated REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 27 OF 37 they can list it on a Tuesday agenda as a public hearing and they can continue it as many times as it needed.The ultimate goal is to consider the resolution on the first meeting in January. Vice Mayor Surra commented she believes i t is difficult to hash out things in one or two meetings.She would like to see it as an agenda item from this point on for both work sessions and regular sessions.This will allow more people to work it into their schedule and attend. City Manager Curtis Shook agreed. City Attorney Joel Stern asked if she meant for all of those to be public hearings. Vice Mayor Surra stated she would leave that to staff.People should be able to hear the discussion and progress.She would like to see a small amount of time allocated to the public for input at each of the public hearings. City Manager Curtis Shook commented they need to get started on the design work for these projects,whether they are done this year or farther down the road,as there is some money in the budget for this.He would like to bring a request for engineering and architectural design work at the next meeting for the first few projects. Councilmember Eck asked what those projects are. City Manager Curtis Shook stated they are the swim center,the skate park and the multi -generational center. Councilmember Eck commented he would agree to that. City Manager Curtis Shook commented he would like to see the design work done on all of the projects proposed,as staff believes all the projects can be done within five to six years. Prioritizing may be difficult as projects may overlap. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 28 OF 37 Vice Mayor Surra stated sometimes i t may involve other circumstances and the availability of things.They must be flexible.She would like to see the designs there to show something more concrete. City Manager Curtis Shook stated he believes they have come up with reasonable costs for these projects,but he would like to have a design and hard cost.He does not want to see every project coming in over estimate. Vice Mayor Surra commented the budget will have a lot to do with the phasing of each project. City Manager Curtis Shook stated the borrowing plan is difficult because of the number of different methods of doing this.It will become more apparent when the pamphlets and documents are put together. Vice Mayor Surra commented she has no problems with partnerships with other governmental entities.She does have a problem partnering for recreational centers and such if the city is dealing with private groups because of ownership concerns.The ownership should stay with the city. City Manager Curtis Shook stated that is his intention. Councilmember Durbala commented he is concerned that the city will have enough funding for the interest payments and make up the additional money as more people will be needed as these come on line. City Manager Curtis Shook stated staff considered the annual costs of each program and their growth.The programs will vie for funds the same way other programs do,and he does not anticipate a period of non -growth.If growth slows,council might have to decide to cut back the swim program in terms of months to allow the library to stay open on Saturdays.He cannot foresee what the operation and maintenance costs will be,but he does not believe the city will be digging a hole. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 29 OF 37 Councilmember Durbala asked how this will help the city's economic development. City Manager Curtis Shook stated communities that create quality life draw businesses to the community.This community is talking about what to build,whereas others are talking about what to cut.It is indicative of political stability and a community building itself. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN. Councilmember Dietz SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTION DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING POLICY FOR COUNCIL EXPENDITURE OF CERTAIN LINE ITEMS IN MAYOR AND COUNCIL BUDGET )Mayor Coleman commented some councilmembers have suggested there be a fund for sending someone in his palce if he was unable to attend a function.He believes it should come out of his budget. Vice Mayor Surra and Councilmember Durbala agreed. Mayor Coleman stated he believed they should split the funds up seven ways.He does like the recommended form. Vice Mayor Surra stated she believes each council position should have a small fund taken from the one fund,making them all accountable.They must start building accountability. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 30 OF 37 Councilmember Dietz asked if they would be able to keep all unused funds at the end of the budget year. Vice Mayor Surra stated they would not,and it is not added to the next year.It will give them some guidelines for accountability.The first year will be hard,but they have to start somewhere.It will hopefully make more people aware of the obligation that comes with this office in attending certain conferences,work shops and seminars,and that the information be shared among all the members.Not everyone has to go to everything;one or two should be sent to those things of their particular interest or those who need to know.She commented that just stating one attended a certain function under Information and Reports at the council meeting is not enough;information should be shared at that time. Councilmembers Insalaco and Eck agreed. Councilmember Durbala asked if calling one's family one time would be acceptable. Mayor Coleman commented he believed the one phone call to tell the family that you made it there okay and to give them your phone number would be an acceptable expense. Councilmember Durbala stated it should probably be no longer than five minutes.If there is no spouse or children,no call would be needed. Vice Mayor Surra stated she is not concerned about whether people have family to call or not.The issue is the abuse of using the phone when they are away and the city having to pick up the tab.After the initial phone call to relay the phone number and your safe arrival,any further phone calls to home should be paid for personally. Councilmember Durbala commented he was thinking of when he is called while he is in a meeting and he is returning the call. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 31 OF 37 Councilmember Urich commented the ethics handbook provided states that any personal phone calls should not be included in the total trip costs. Councilmember Durbala stated that is from the City of Mesa. Councilmember Urich commented the council should be held to the same policy for the city employees.She does not think personal phone calls should be included. Councilmember Durbala commented he thought she was wrong.This is a family oriented community and he thinks it is a bad attitude to say you could not call your family to announce your safe arrival. Vice Mayor Surra stated she did not say you could not call,just that the city should not pay for it. Councilmember Durbala stated it is totally wrong,and he will go on record a hundred times and tell you that. Mayor Coleman asked what is the current policy for city employees. City Manager Curtis Shook stated he thought they should call their family to let them know they arrived safely. Any further calls should be the family calling the hotel. Councilmember Urich asked if there was a time restriction on the call,as it should not take five minutes. Councilmember Durbala commented if the city cannot afford five minutes for a phone call,it should be closed down.He talked to over four hundred people on this issue,and everyone of them thought this issue was petty and jealous. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly asked the city attorney that if any reimbursement for a personal expense would be considered a gift. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 32 OF 37 City Attorney Joel Stern stated it would be a gift,but he would research it. Councilmember Durbala commented they were not given information from any other cities as he requested from the work session. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated one councilmember asked for more information,while another stated no more was needed. Councilmember Durbala commented then none should have been given. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated she already had this one from Mesa. Vice Mayor Surra commented a personal expense is a personal expense.She does not expect the city to pay for room service.It should not make any difference if the expenses are submitted by a councilmember or a city employee.This is taxpayer money and there has to be more consistency in how it is spent.There should be a list of those expenses that are allowed and amenities that are not allowed. Councilmember Eck commented he did not believe anyone was arguing with that. Vice Mayor Surra stated if it is not allowed for employees,it should not be allowed for them. Councilmember Eck commented he believed the council agrees with that,and that Councilmember Durbala wants everyone,including employees,to be allowed one five minute call.He is neutral on the phone call issue. Vice Mayor Surra commented she does not believe employees are being give the opportunity to call home. Councilmember Eck commented then the council should not be allowed to do so. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 33 OF 37 Councilmembers Dietz and Durbala commented the city manager just said that employees could call home. Vice Mayor Surra stated she would like to see the submissions for those charges. Councilmember Urich agreed. Councilmember Durbala commented he thought that was a private situation. Vice Mayor Surra stated i t is a public record if the city is paying for it.She would like to know if any phone calls for city employees to home have been paid for.She commented it should not make or break you if you have to call home,or do not go to so many so often if you have to call home. Councilmember Urich commented it is not right. Councilmember Durbala commented she could call it picky. Vice Mayor Surra suggested giving them a per diem which they can use in whatever way they want. Mayor Coleman commented that is what the City of Mesa does for its employees in travel status.They give them $30 per day without having to furnish receipts. Vice Mayor Surra commented they could eat on $20 and call home for $10.However,they need to determine i f council can be given money in hand without a receipt as they are governed slightly differently than employees. Mayor Coleman suggested having the city attorney look into that.This was put on the agenda because of the wide disparity on what the councilmembers were requesting.He would like a policy in place so he would not feel funny when he had to sign off on something.He would like some uniformity.He suggested giving direction to the city REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 2,1999 PAGE 34 OF 37 attorney insofar as what is legitimate as gifts,what is allowable,what is not. Councilmember Eck asked if there was only one item in question.If so,forget that item and pass the others. Vice Mayor Surra commented she thought they needed to know for any of the areas,and have staff give different actions on how things would be laid out,whether they would be individual account buckets or have all coming out of one. Mayor Coleman commented that is what he would like to see. Councilmember Durbala suggested they see travel policies from other cities. Vice Mayor Surra MOVED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE DIRECTION TO STAFF TO ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE:THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY RESEARCH AND BRING BACK INFORMATION REGARDING ANY REGULATIONS OR STATE STATUTES OR ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN TO THE USE OF CITY FUNDS BY COUNCILMEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES;AND THAT THE CITY STAFF PREPARE OPTIONS FOR HOW THE BUDGET CAN BE LAID OUT INSOFAR AS HAVING SEPARATE BUCKETS OF MONEY ALLOTTED TO COUNCIL FOLKS OR JUST AT LEAST DOLLARS IN EACH OF THE CATEGORIES THAT IS ALLOWED FOR EACH COUNCILMEMBER. Councilmember Durbala added they would like to have the things from other cities,ethics and travel policy. Vice Mayor Surra commented she believes that is already part of the research and proposals.She added THAT THEY CAN PLEASE RESOURCE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE ITEMS ON THE BOOKS. Councilmember Dietz SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried.
