REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 1 OF 28 Councilmember Urich SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. AWARDS,PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS None. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Mr.Scott Warga,1665 S.Meridian Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council.He commented that his oldest daughter had been having a problem with some other children.He had been advised by the police department that he needed to make a report before anything could be done.Officer Trisha White was sent to his house for the report,and during the process she comforted his daughter.Afterwards she followed up on the report and even attended the school dance to deter any harassment from the students causing the problem. He commended her for her service and stated she exemplifies what a police department should be. Mrs.Mary Warga,1665 S.Meridian_Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council regarding the landfill vote being fixed.She stated her proof is on the way to the attorney general's office.She added there is further proof by looking at the agenda as the council is voting to approve a host agreement before they vote on the rezoning,so it appears to be a done deal.She commented she would see them in the federal meetings. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT None. PUBLIC HEARINGS CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF HOST AGREEMENT WITH APACHE JUNCTION LANDFILL CORPORATION )City Manager Curtis Shook briefed the council on the item.He stated the agreement was suggested by Allied Waste to provide a method by which a community that allows for expansion of a landfill facility can recover some costs from the impact of the landfill. This agreement provides for assurances and benefits to the community in conjunction with landfill operations,including the city receiving a dollar a ton for all waste and expanding the city clean up from biannual to quarterly clean ups.This would allow code enforcement to work on offensive premises and find a solution to that problem.This agreement also calls for utility REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 2 OF 28 and street improvements and provides for a stability of rates for residents by tying any increases into the Consumer Price Index.He added that any action taken on the host agreement would be moot if the rezoning was not approved. Mayor Coleman asked the applicant or their representative to address the council. Mr.Brad Dugas stated he would talk more on the rezoning case as the agreement was fairly well explained.He commented he was ready to answer any of their questions. Mayor Coleman called for any questions by the council.There were none at this time.He opened the public hearing on the item. Mrs.Mary Warga,1665 S.Meridian Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council.She commented no city ever makes out on a host agreement,and there is no such thing as a benefit for the citizens when you expand a 50 year old unlined dump.She recalled the consultant stating there was arsenic in the water,however,he failed to tell them that these high levels of arsenic were after the water had already been blended.They used wastewater methods instead of drinking water standards. She urged them to call the head of the Department of Environmental Quality Water Department for confirmation.She claimed that a new vehicle purchased for Development Services is listed in the Allied Waste city file.This was at the last meeting that she attended.She added it also states that the "company's public relations person in the arizona room outside of a certain city employee's office".She urged them to read the file,that i t is in there.She claimed she has a copy of the letter but it is with her attorney. She added if they cannot read their own files,they should not be voting. Vice Mayor Surra commented as soon as they find an arizona room she wants to be able to sit in it. Councilmember Eck asked her to repeat it as he was confused as to what she had just said. Mrs.Mary Warga repeated that in the city file for Allied Waste in Development Services,one would see handwritten notes on meetings about Allied Waste.There is a comment of a "new vehicle purchased for planning and developing"and "public relations spokesperson for the company to be put in an arizona room inside the city complex".She claimed she was not making this up,that i t is in the files.She added the attorney general has a copy of that,too. Councilmember Eck stated this is the first he has heard of that. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 3 OF 28 the file. Mrs.Mary Warga asked if he had read Councilmember Eck stated he had not. Mrs.Mary Warga commented she hoped they were not giving the public and the council two different files,as that would be illegal. Mayor Coleman asked Mrs.Warga i f she had anything else to add,and she stated she did not.Mayor Coleman asked if there was anyone else who would like to address the item. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,addressed the council.He admitted he has not had access to as much information on the landfill as Mrs.Warga,but he has been following what has been going on.He commented he had asked at the last meeting what kind of public benefit the citizens would get from the landfill.He commented there are public benefits to this landfill.He urged the council to make sure all public benefits are attained down the road,if they make themselves seen. He urged the city to go into the landfill and investigate it and see what garbage could be reused.He added he does not think having a proper closing is the issue,but the issue is having the citizens get in on all the benefits from the expansion on.If the city does not investigate this,the public may want to know about it sometime in the future. Mr.Scott Warga,1665 S.Meridian Drive,Apache Junction,addressed the council.He commented they have heard some of the benefits to the public from the landfill,but there are other things they should be made aware of.Other cities have entered into agreements with landfills in the past and when those landfills closed,they became superfund sites.Since the city was entered into an agreement with them,the city was responsible for a portion of the clean up costs.He believes a vote this evening would be irresponsible without referring it to the city attorney to investigate the facts. Mr.Tom Cosgrove,3500 S.Tomahawk Road,Apache Junction,addressed the council.He lives just outside the city limits.He asked if this agreement includes the stipulations tied to the rezoning which have been agreed to by Allied Waste. City Manager Curtis Shook stated those stipulations are in the rezoning ordinance document and not part of the host agreement.The host agreement makes reference to utilities and streets that would need to be upgraded.The ordinance has the stipulations referred to and the language which mandates the standards in which those things will be provided.The ordinance is the next item. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 4 OF 28 Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,addressed the council again.He commented he believes Allied Waste has shown in the last few meetings that they can be responsible with the site.He asked that they not tie the city's hands on being creative with the site.Leave the host agreement open-ended.He urged those new councilmembers with the business background to use their business acumen and get something for the citizens of Apache Junction rather than just an eyesore. Councilmember Urich requested that the city attorney go over the generalities of the host agreement. City Attorney Joel Stern provided a breakdown of the components of the host agreement to include paying the city $1.00 per ton for waste received,the city having recordkeeping and inspection rights for all records,after six months the city manager having the descretion to ask for the installment of a weight scale,providing free disposal support for the city's quarterly clean ups,caps on fees charged to city residents and they are limited to the Consumer Price Index,limiting the travel route to Tomahawk Road,making the landfill responsible for the maintenance of the road and putting in water line and sewer line extensions. The landfill will fully indemnify and hold the city harmless,as well as its directors and employees,from any and all claims or actions whatsover rising out of or in connection with this agreement or the operation of the landfill. The landfill must have insurance coverage in the amount of $100,000,000 per occurrence.The hours will expand,and it will be open on Saturday.The landfill is not an employee of the city per the agreement.The agreement will be in existence until the last grades have been attained at the landfill. hearing. Mayor Coleman continued the public Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,asked if any other activities are going to be happening at the landfill site other than the collection of waste.In addition,if there are other activities,what could the city do to get benefits from them. City Attorney Joel Stern requested to defer that to the rezoning issue as i t is related to the use of the property. Mrs.Mary Warga,1665 S.Meridian Drive,addressed the council.She asked what would happen if the landfill goes bankrupt.She asked who would be responsible,as it would not be Allied Waste,since they are a subsidiary. City Attorney Joel Stern stated there is an insurance provision of $100,000,000 in this contract for that. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 5 OF 28 Mrs.Mary Warga commented that would be provided they had paid their premiums.She commented she understands they are accepting all responsibility until final closure,but asked what happens ten years after closure and it comes up with a contamination problem.She also asked Councilmember Durbala where the asbestos is being disposed of that is being pulled out of the post office. Councilmember Durbala stated that is done by contract by the federal government.He does not know who has the contract.He advised her to contact the U.S.Postal Service at 4848 W.Van Buren and address the request to the General Postmaster,Paul Harris. Mrs.Mary Warga asked if it was going out here to the Apache Junction landfill. Councilmember Durbala stated if she understood anything about asbestos,especially with the new federal regulations,there are certain federal guidelines that if a certain amount of toxic waste is produced,it has to go through EPA,state agencies,and inspectors that come around before it is shipped out to a place where they take care of toxic waste,which is not a landfill.He does not know where it is shipped to. Mrs.Mary Warga stated she does know as she wrote the hazardous waste legislation that is on the Arizona books. She was also on the governor's Special Waste Committee where she worked on asbestos for two weeks. Councilmember Durbala stated he doubted that she wrote that as it was written by a number of people out of Washington,D.C.as well as the federal offices. Mrs.Mary Warga commented the Arizona law was not written out of Washington,D.C.;it was written in 1990. Councilmember Durbala stated this is not the issue,the issue is the host agreement. Mrs.Mary Warga agreed.She questioned a conflict of interest if the asbestos from where he worked was going to this landfill. Councilmember Durbala advised her to contact the postmaster as this has nothing to do with host agreement. Mrs.Mary Warga stated it does i f there is a conflict. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 6 OF 28 Mr.Brad Dugas,7201 E.Camelback Road,Suite 375,Scottsdale,addressed Mrs.Warga's questions that were not debated.He stated each side has to provide and manage a postclosure fund, and each year it has to be recalculated by a third party engineer and be submitted and on file with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. That is stand alone to the liability insurance that is in the host agreement. That is a part of the solid waste facility plan that is not approved until they provide that mechanish fully executed.I t is annualized and renewable in case there are some changes in the closure.This goes for a minimum of thirty years from the last date of waste receipt.That is also one of the stipulation documents. Mrs.Mary Warga commented that he had not covered the insurance over bankruptcy. Mr.Brad Dugas stated it is a stand alone document that is in place.He added there is a document and policy in place and on file with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to handle the full and complete closure without the city's involvement. City Manager Curtis Shook commented he believed the money was already in place for that. Mr.Brad Dugas agreed that the money is already in a fund. Mrs.Mary Warga asked if the plan had been approved. Mr.Brad Dugas stated it has been approved;i t has to be to be on file with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. Mrs.Mary Warga asked if the solid waste facility plan had been approved. Mr.Brad Dugas stated that is still under review.However,they still have the obligation and it is in place for closure fund and post closure fund. City Attorney Joel Stern asked i f that document was presented to state law. Mr.Brad Dugas stated that was correct;Subtitle D,adopted by statute by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.He added since this facility is unlined,they have not accepted any special waste since they have operated it and he doubted anything REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 7 OF 28 significant had been accepted prior to their ownership.They do not take asbestos at the site. Mr.Tom Cosgrove,who lives on Tomahawk Road south of Apache Junction,commented he believed there was some disparity between the details given on the host agreement by the city attorney and the summary of the host agreement.He is concerned that the city has "shot itself in the foot"over this "slick"document.Tomahawk is to remain the sole entrance for the landfill,even though he had proposed an alternate entrance at Idaho Road.He was concerned that AJLC would be a city employee and therefore make the city liable for the landfill. Vice Mayor Surra commented they would not be a city employee. Mr.Tom Cosgrove stated he just wanted to check that point out.He believes this is a selfserving document for AJLC and he is disappointed in the agreement. City Attorney Joel Stern commented the AJLC will not be an employee. Mr.Tom Cosgrove asked if AJLC would be totally responsible. City Attorney Joel Stern stated they would.He added that Tomahawk Road was left the only entrance due to zoning stipulations on alignments and dedications.That could be discussed on the next item. Mr.Tom Cosgrove could not see how they could divorce this agreement from the zoning regulations due to the stipulations and the history of the debate in question. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He opened the item to council discussion.He asked if there was a specific date that the fees will be measured from in Stipulation No.5. City Attorney Curtis Shook stated that should probably be incorporated into an agreement on the date the government annually provides the Consumer Price Index. City Attorney Joel Stern stated the applicant should be asked if they will agree to that. Mr.Brad Dugas stated they would agree to that;they had already agreed to an annualized maximum cap with the REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 8 OF 28 city.It would most likely begin when notice for the expansion area goes into place. Mayor Coleman asked if the city would be notified. Mr.Brad Dugas stated there will be a notice given before a rate increase.He suggested they could add a 30 day notice or 60 day notice to the agreement.However,i t is just posted at the landfill;i t is not sent out to anyone.The city manager would receive a copy in the mail. to become a part of this agreement. they could agree on a date and given time to review the dates May;he believes one comes out Mayor Coleman asked if that needed City Manager Curtis Shook asked if amend the document. Mr.Brad Dugas requested they be in order for them to come up with a date. Councilmember Durbala suggested in at that time. Mr.Brad Dugas stated they would look into it. Councilmember Durbala asked how they would phrase it. Mayor Coleman suggested using the language "a date agreeable between the city manager and AJLC". City Attorney Joel Stern stated they could say "as amended"with appropriate language for "a date certain that the National Consumper Price Index increase will occur,as well as a 30 or 60 day notice for such increase". look into it. would phrase it. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly asked if it would be more specific to request certified,return receipt requested instead of just a notice mailed to the city manager. Mayor Coleman closed the discussion and called for a motion. Councilmember Insalaco MOVED THAT THE HOST AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION AND THE APACHE JUNCTION LANDFILL CORPORATION BE APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS:TO AMEND ITEM REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 9 OF 28 5 TO INCLUDE 60 DAY NOTIFICATION TO THE TOWN ON A DATE AGREED UPON;AND A DATE CERTAIN AGREED UPON AND TIED TO NATIONAL CONSUMER PRICE INDEX MEASURED FROM DATE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDES. Vice Mayor Surra SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO.1034/CASE PZ-14-96/ ALLIED WASTE,INC./APACHE JUNCTION LANDFILL CORPORATION )Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias briefed the council on the item.This will rezone the landfill property,the existing plus the surrounding 88.9 acres,from GR General Rural to CI-2/PD, Heavy Industrial by Planned Development.The only change since the commission action were requested by Special Counsel Bill Farrell and worked on by staff. He briefed them on the stipulations:at all times the operator shall be in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the vesting deed from Allied Waste Industries to Apache Junction Landfill Corporation (the vesting deed is an exhibit);at no time during the use of this land as a municipal solid waste landfill shall any area used for solid waste storage exceed 1,700 feet above mean sea level,however,upon closure of the municipal solid waste landfill, the maximum height of any area used for solid waste storage shall not exceed 1,685 feet above mean sea level. landfill is currently. stated it is currently at 1,685 feet. currently have any control on the height. Mayor Coleman asked how tall the Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias Mayor Coleman asked if they Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias stated they do not.The only control on height at this time is when the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality says it is enough. City Manager Curtes Shook stated the original agreement called for 1,896 feet. Associate Planner Rudy Esquivias continued with the third condition requiring the owner to provide to the city any notices of deficiency or problems or any correspondence from any county, state or federal agency related in any way to the operation of the landfill. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 10 OF 28 The documentation must be received by the city within ten calendar days from receipt of notice,compliance orders or consent decrees by the property owner. Condition D states the property owner shall submit to the city within 6 months of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval to operate a landfill a preliminary planned development plan amendment which shall be for the purpose of offering a closure phasing schedule.Condition E states that by July 1,2004,the city shall advise the owner of the property's recommended post closure use.The property owner shall submit to the city within 12 months of July 1,2004,a final planned development plan application which shall include the closure phasing schedule.The property owner shall maintain the property in accordance with state and federal regulations for a 30 year period after all municipal solid waste operations have terminated.The conditions for the surrounding 88.9 acres include:the property owner shall be in full compliance at all times with terms and conditions of the State of Arizona land patent;at no time during the use of this land as a municipal solid waste landfill shall any area used for solid waste storage exceed 1,700 sq.ft.;the special use permit does not include the parcel for the operation of either a waste tire collection site or a transfer station,nor does i t authorize any other use allowed in the CI -2 zoning district except for the storage of solid waste hauling vehicles,equipment and machinery as well as the repairing thereof in a fully enclosed structure as approved by the city; the property owner shall provide the city copies of any notices of deficiency or problems or other correspondence from any agency relating to the operation of the landfill,to be received within 10 calendar days;the city shall advise the property owner of its recommended post closure use for the municipal solid waste landfill no later than July 1,2004,within a year of that a final planned development plan for the use of the site,including a construction schedule,an expected location of required decorative masonry wall,post closure landscaping plans for the entire site,location and construction schedule of 12" water utility line extension and other necessary utilities, location and construction schedule for all necessary roads/alignments/improvements,a site plan clearly delineating any proposed structures,ancillary facilities,workshops,offices,gate houses,weight scales and other accessory structures related to municipal solid waste operations and the storing of repairing of solid waste hauling vehicles, equipment and machinery;a site plan clearly delineating the drainage control structures for on site retention and other improvements which the city deems necessary;and a closure phasing schedule.Should the improvement mentioned, except for the landscaping plans for the surrounding acreage,not be in completed within one year of closure of the site,the applicant shall post a bond or another form of security in an amount sufficient to finish the improvements.The final plan shall include provisions for offering the site for the city's use as negotiated between the parties and provide for maintenance of the property for a period of 30 years after closure.The landscaping plans for the buffer zone shall be submitted to the city within 6 months after Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval.If the landscaping is not installed within one year,the property owner must post a bond or another form of security to cover the improvements.The buffer zone REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 11 OF 28 could be used for access roads or other landfill operations consistent with Arizond Department of Environmental Quality regulations.The preliminary planned development plan,the final planned development plan,and all amendments,permits and construction shall be conditional upon site plan approval per the conditions of the planned development regulations,including the dedication and realignments of all rights -of -way and easements,including Tomahawk,Guadalupe and any necessary turning radius site visibility corners deemed necessary by the city and constructed to city standards. Mayor Coleman opened the item to questions by the council.There being no questions,he opened the public hearing on the item. Mrs.Mary Warga,1665 S.Meridian Drive,addressed the council.She commented there were a lot of things she was going to say tonight,and there have been a lot of things she has been saying over the last year,but she does not believe the council wants to listen to the facts,they want to listen to the pocketbooks that Allied Waste is dangling in front of them.She does not believe council cares about the health effects that this will cause.She commented they never stop to consider that perhaps Apache Junction has lower school scores because we have contaminated water,not because we have bad teachers.She claimed they did not want to listen to the facts and that this was a done deal.She added they have been trying to do it for years.She congratulated them on doing it,but warned them they are not the final word on it. Mr.Scott Warga,1665 S.Meridian Drive,addressed the council.He asked how many reasons would be needed to deny expansion to the landfill.He commented he would list a few,and he broke them down into categories for easier understanding.Environmentally: the dump is unlined;Apache Junction Landfill Corporation applied for and received a groundwater monitoring exemption from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality;it is located in a FEMA Class A flood plain;according to Pinal County,i t is located in a designated riparian area.History:the landfill opened in the 50's,open 24 hours a day,7 days a week,and burned daily to reduce the amount of waste to be buried;we have no idea what was dumped in the dump;in 1968 the public complained about smoke from burning autos,tires,noxious materials from the landfill;in 1971 the Arizona Department of Health reported the landfill continued routine burning and that the fill accepted all solid waste,including household,commercial, industrial,institutional,agricultural and incinerator residue.This negates the comment made before that they did not believe Pinal County took in anything bad.In August 1981 the Arizona Department of Health reported the landfill accepted septic tank dumpings;in 1988 burning tires were reported and septic waste;in January 1989 an unlined septic waste pond was reported over a previously filled area,the pond was unmarked and access was uncontrolled,the banks were unstable and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality had photos of trash dumped in the pond.He requested to review for REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 12 OF 28 just a moment.He commented URS Greiner stated the water in City Well No.6 has a high arsenic level,and arsenic is rat poison.He asked if they were aware i t is used as an agricultural insecticide.When liquid is put through 20 years of ashes,such as septic waste through all the burning remains,you get lye or a very strong alkali solution,like the contaminants observed in the water.He added URS Greiner also informed them of a fault line under the landfill.He commented he doubted any of them would believe him if he told them that water or liquid will travel through a crack in the earth.He went back to history.In 1993 Allied Waste purchased the landfill.In August of 1995 Arizona Department of Environmental Quality documented there were no monitoring wells,no run-on/run-off controls,no leachate or methane monitoring.The operational plan was not approved,and is still not approved. Although Allied has received permission to use green waste for daily cover, they were using shredded tires.To date,the only monitoring done is methane, and those monitors are located around the newly purchase property where filling has not yet begun.He commented the monitors would not register anything as they are in a pristine desert habitat.Financially,figures from June 6,1997,showed Allied's liabilities at $198.3 million,their long term debt was $1.18 billion,their interest payments in the first quarter of 1997 had shot up to $21.4 million versus $2 million the previous year.He commented if Allied Waste was unable to pay for clean up,the city may have to.On October 20,"Forbes Magazine"printed an interview with Thomas H.Van Wielden,president and chief executive officer of Allied Waste Industries, Incorporated,and he quoted from a paragraph in that article."Van Wielden eschews hazardous wastes and generally stays away from large,privatized municipal service collection contracts that are rebid every few years.He prefers contracting with individual commercial accounts and homeowners;that way he can raise rates without government's approval.Van Wielden figures he can raise rates 4%a year and that new business can increase 6% a year." Integrity:Allied waste has said on more than one occasion that if the landfill was not allowed to expand,the trash rates would go up.Their boss is saying if it is allowed,the trash rates will go up 4% to 6% a year. Allied is the third or fourth,depending on who you listen to,largest landfill corporation,waste management company,in the country.The Consumer Price Index,they have a major control over that.On August 6,1996,Allied Waste denied owning the landfill in a letter to Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.They also reported that Mr.Ed Van Wielden had been replaced by Mr.Don Slinger.He found this funny,as at the bottom of the letter it can be seen it was carbon copied to Don Slinger and Brad Dugas with Allied Waste.He commented the city hired URS Greiner to do a study on the landfill but put a limit on what was to be studied.However,the council did ask for a public response,and they got it.More people asked for the landfill to be closed than asked for the expansion.He added council now has a choice to make;to vote for the environment,the economy,integrity and your constituents,or to vote against them all. Mr.Elliott Fisher,547 E.Quail, Apache Junction,addressed the council.He wanted to know what other REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 13 OF 28 •activities other than collection are possible at the landfill and if they had assurance that the public will get a benefit from that,too,as well as the $1.00 per ton.He commented the latter doesn't sound that great to him,but i t is at least something.He requested the city investigate the other things that the landfill can have that would be of benefit to the city. Mr.Brad Dugas of Allied Waste,7201 E.Camelback Road,Scottsdale,addressed the council.He commented he appreciated the diligence and professionalism of city staff at all levels on their request for rezoning.He believes everyone involved has gained information on landfill operations in general.He believes the request was handled fairly and complete as it could have been,and the landfill should be a significant benefit to the city.He commented the benefits would be the implementation of adequate on -site and off -site storm water controls,i t improves their ability to complete encapsulate the existing facility by fully excavating and lining the perimeter of the landfill,and putting an integral cap over all of it.It will allow them to increase their monitoring,improve their exterior sloping,improve the surface drainage and minimize erosion, allow improved landscaping on the site,have a 150'setback from the property lines,provide for area disposal for the next 10 to 15 years.This will control the desert dumping.It will help develop the surrounding land,and retain or increase the state land values in the immediate area.He added the believes the agreement and rezoning is fair,as it gives the oversight and control that they do not currently have.He added they will continue to provide free city clean-ups,price stabilization,road and utility improvements to the site,and some direct financial benefit.The city will have no liability or responsibility for the facility.They will attempt to convert this into a natural occuring feature in the community or make the site as reusable as possible.All concerns and issues are being considered tonight and through future designs that will be approved by all required regulatory agencies.He finished by saying he was available to answer any questions or give them any further information they required. Mayor Coleman closed the public hearing with no one else wishing to speak.He reopened the item to council discussion. Vice Mayor Surra asked if they would be having any other services other than accepting solid wastes,such as recycling or any other programs.She believed that is what Mr.Fisher was trying to ask. Mr.Brad Dugas stated they have done it on a landfill issue.The special use dictates they can only put landfill operations on the site.The initial potential request had included a transfer station and recycling facility,but that could be addressed at another point in time.He commented recycling in the valley is a difficult project,and REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 14 OF 28 Allied Waste does not focus on that.If the city desires that,they would consider negotiations towards recycling. Mayor Coleman asked on behalf of Mr. Cosgrove about road alignments. City Attorney Joel Stern commented the ordinance states the applicant/owner shall be responsible for the cost associated with the dedication or realignment of all the right-of-ways and easements,including Tomahawk Road,Guadalupe Avenue and any necessary turning radius and sign visibility cut-off corners deemed necessary by the city.They must be constructed to city standards.The city may pave it or bid out the actual project while Apache Junction Landfill Corporation will pay for it. Vice Mayor Surra commented she believed Mr.Cosgrove was concerned that there would be only one access,which is Tomahawk.Earlier public hearings showed that people thought there should be an additional access between Tomahawk and Idaho.She requested an explanation as to why it is not possible to come into the landfill from Idaho. Development Services Director Larry Harmer stated the access south of Baseline Road is through state land trust property.The state land trust grants easements and rights -of -way on a very limited basis as there is no real economic value back to the trust itself. The state has been approached about extending Idaho Road,but they are not agreeable to a petition for additional land for an easement.Tomahawk Road is designated an arterial street but it does need some improvements to bring it up to that standard.There has been minimum proposal for properties between the freeway and Baseline to be developed,so it has not been improved.Allied has not been approached about these improvements that are needed.He added there has not been a designated truck route determined for the landfill. Vice Mayor Surra commented the ordinance states Apache Junction Landfill Corporation shall instruct its commercial customers to enter the landfill via Tomahawk Road. City Attorney Joel Stern commented the zoning provisions relate to future secondary accesses which a city engineer may designate.The city council would have to approve those.I t is unknown what the secondary accesses will be at this time. Managment Assistant Michael Munroe added it was the opinion of the previous city engineer and the Ron Ewing,the project manager for URS Greiner,that the level of traffic going up and down Tomahawk Road by the waste vehicles is far less than the amount of traffic that the road can handle.The traffic would not be a significant impact according to their traffic studies. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 15 OF 28 Vice Mayor Surra stated it would bear up if it were brought up to standards.However,right now it is not up to standards.That is part of this agreement,that it must be brought up to standards and be maintained to standards. Management Assistant Michael Munroe stated the study on the transportation impacts determined that the traffic generated by the landfill was not unusual or excessive;it was a normal traffic rate acceptable for that road. City Attorney Joel Stern commented the city will be monitoring the truck traffic and that will be the basis for the recommendation by the engineer in the future for any secondary accesses or other improvements to the right-of-way. Development Services Director Larry Harmer added that as the area develops,a master street progam will be needed. Councilmember Eck commented he felt if there were no current landfill,the decision would be easy.I t is obvious that no one wants a landfill in their community,and he commended the opposition on their thorough research.He believes the citizens should be concerned about their community,but he feels his decision is based on what he feels is best for the community. Councilmember Insalaco commented he came from an area that had a city -owned landfill,which was Globe.When he lived there,the people used to complain about the traffic and everything else.The city eventually closed the landfill and took everything to transfer stations in Superior.In a little over 3 weeks the landfill was reopened as there was trash left all over the city,with things being dumped everywhere. The honest people will go to the landfill,though there will always be people who will just dump trash illegally.I t is not a perfect situation. hoped the county would have a landfill in municipalities would not be the only ones to between 100 to 200 citizens about that what she found out from those citizens. and called for a motion.

Councilmember Insalaco SECONDED THE (Councilmember Durbala wished to explain his vote.He believes it is the best thing for the community as a whole.The reason he has been for it from the very beginning is that almost five years ago,when there was a possibility for a regional landfill,which was turned down by the numerous communities around, the area was left with basically nothing.There are two landfills in this county and both are almost to capacity.He felt by supporting this from the beginning that eventually,with the help of the communities,that we will have a regional landfill with the help of the county.He hopes this will give the county the opportunity and the time to develop a number of other communities to go into a bigger agreement for one regional landfill for the county.)

PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.98-14/RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO.96-16/PROPOSED RESOLUTION 98-15/DECLARING AREAS OF THE CITY THAT QUALIFY FOR REDEVELOPMENT )Development Services Director Larry Harmer briefed the council on the items.He stated there have been changes in redevelopment law in Arizona in 1997 which could benefit the city. They are not mandated to change the redevelopment plan,however,i t is to the advantage of the city to do so.This will remove the designations of "slum" and "blight".These words have caused consternation in the past.I t is only necessary if the redevelopment area is for the primary purpose of residential. The city is looking at the downtown business district,which is commercial. He added the 1996 configuration did not coincide with the requirements of the statute regarding the amount of assessed valuation.Staff is suggesting the 1996 resolution be rescinded and adopt Resolution No.98-15 in its place.The change of title is suggested in order to differentiate between the two resolutions and secondly to bring the title more into compliance with the state statute.The new area includes the city hall complex,the Pinal County complex,the Boys & Girls Club site location and the existing post office so that those properties could reap some benefits from infrastructure improvements.However,in adjusting the area to meet the taxing provisions of the text,there are some properties along the Winchester perimeter that had to be eliminated.The size of the area is approximately the same.This will provide the community with financing capabilities and improvement REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 21 OF 28 capabilities.He added if Resolution No.98-15 is approved,a second motion is needed to direct staff to prepare the Crossroads Redevelopment Area Plan and forward the plan to the volunteer board.

Councilmember Eck stated he was ready to nominate one person. Vice Mayor Surra commented she had requested information from staff regarding the applicants'attendance at Planning and Zoning Commission meetings.That information has been provided. Only one applicant,Pat Richmond,has attended quite a few meetings in the past year,whereas none of the others had.As a qualifier,Ed Tirador is on the Board of Adjustment and could have been involved in a conflict of interest if he had attended,as they would come before him if appealed.His lack of attendance should not be held against him.

Vice Mayor Surra stated she had asked for the last twelve months. Councilmember Durbala stated they received the information from January 14,1997 to May 27,1997.

COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTION RECEIPT OF TOWN HALL REPORT AND DIRECTION TO STAFF TO DEVELOP A CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 24 OF 28 )City Manager Curtis Shook briefed the council on the item.He stated the Town Hall was focued on capital facilities the community needs.The report is a compilation and summary of the outcome of the Town Hall.There were three projects that came out as the top projects,with the top priority cited by the whole group as a new city hall complex,then a multigenerational center and the third being public transportation.Other items included parks and recreation programs.Staff would like council to acknowledge receipt of the report and direct the city manager over the 6-12 months to prepare a comprehensive capital facility plan with the appropriate financing to be brought back to council for their approval and the eventual vote of the residents to fund such a program. council discussion. Mayor Coleman opened the item to Councilmember Eck commented the Town Hall was great.He admitted he is biased towards an aquatic center,and he had a problem when it came time for financing these projects.It was never brought to the citizens'attention on the possible intergovernmental agreement that the school is offering.That agreement could have made it easier to finance than some of the other projects. Vice Mayor Surra stated she believed that would make it discretionary as to whether that would make it one of the primary items under this capital projects;it does not mean it would necessarily be one of the projects that would be abandoned since it is a joint partnership with the school.It could be done in addition to the others. Councilmember Eck agreed.He was just hoping they would request it at the Town Hall.He believes the multigenerational facility is still in question as he believes a lot of people voted for that thinking it would be the Boys & Girls Club. City Manager Curtis Shook stated there are a number of similar questions,such as relocations of certain city departments.The Town Hall was not to mandate one to three items,he would like council's approval and flexibility to put together a comprehensive capital facilities plan with a funding mechanism to put in front of the voters in the future. mechanisms were discussed fully,like mini -follow-up meeting after the plan who participated plus anyone else who being proposed. Mayor Coleman stated not all funding the use tax.He suggested holding a is put together and invite those back is interested and let them know what is Councilmember Eck asked if it was justifiable to clear up what the multigenerational facility is supposed to be. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 25 OF 28 Vice Mayor Surra stated that could be done at the time when they are actually looking at building something like that. Councilmember Eck believes the Boys & Girls Club might be mislead into thinking that the building is for them. Mayor Coleman commented the discussions he heard were for more space for the senior center and something for the youth.There were a number of representatives from the Boys & Girls Club there,so perhaps it should be worked out.He asked for any further comments.There being none,he called for a motion. Councilmember Durbala MOVED THAT THE APACHE JUNCTION TOWN HALL REPORT BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS RECEIVED,AND I MOVE THAT THE FOLLOWING DIRECTION BE GIVEN TO STAFF REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN WITH FUNDING OPTIONS CONSISTENT WITH PRIORITIES RESULTING FROM THE 1998 TOWN HALL:THAT STAFF COME BACK TO US WITHIN ONE YEAR WITH A CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN AND PROGRAM.

Councilmember Durbala asked if a half an hour each night would be sufficient to cover all the material they have.He would prefer to keep it at 6:00 p.m.He would rather have the time than rush through the information. City Attorney Joel Stern stated a half an hour would occasionally be sufficient,but he could not say an hour would be necessary every time.Sometimes it will be,others times it won't be. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 19,1998 PAGE 26 OF 28 Mayor Coleman suggested setting it at 6:00 p.m.,but if there is nothing pressing,some of that could be reserved for after the public meeting when they could reconvene again.That way they could start it at 6:30 p.m. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly commented you cannot start it earlier than the time posted.

Councilmember Urich stated they could reconvene after the meeting,too. Mayor Coleman asked if there was a second to the vice mayor's motion. Vice Mayor Surra commented there canont be if they are not changing the time. Mayor Coleman asked for another motion.
