Councilman Coleman SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. ORDINANCE NO.828,TOWING SERVICE POLICY ) )Councilman Hendricks stated that the City should not guarantee the success of one or two businesses and not allow other businesses in the community to participate in the towing rotation list. Mrs.Penny Wallace,1727 S. Mariposa,stated that there were two different sets of City towing policies currently in existence.She briefed the Council about the time she addressed the Council on the towing list back in January 19,1993 when this ordinance was passed.She stated that to this date it has not been decided who the primary companies and the alternate are;that she assumed that the alternate company was hers but that was not clear and asked the Council to answer that. She stated that on February 19,1993,she had a meeting with the Police Chief and others and she was presented with a copy of the new city towing policies which had to be approved by the City Council,but that did not happen.She added that the new towing policies had stiffer regulations. Councilman Hendricks asked which one of the two towing policies that were submitted to them would they honor. City Clerk Kathy Connelly explained that the changes made so far to the original policies should be minimal;one change has to do with the number of meetings and another change has to do with the rotation list from last year;except for these two changes,both policies submitted to the Council should match what was adopted under Ordinance No.606 in 1987. City Manager Mike Lee stated that policy "B"at the end states that it was adopted by ordinance,so these rules and regulations were adopted by ordinance on January 19,1993. Vice Mayor Barker stated that the Council at that time did not understand they were adopting the policies;they understood that they were simply amending a portion of the policies. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 5 OF 18 Ms.Connelly stated that the authority that Council gave by adopting Ordinance No.828 was simply to change the verbiage under "Number of List Companies"and other changes made within the context were done without authority of the City Council. Vice Mayor Barker stated she had in her hand a copy of the Arizona Department of Public Safety Towing Policies and they have many towing companies.She read in there the qualifications for tow truck drivers and stated that ours were these rambling words without numbers. Mr.Gary Secor,198 S.Thunderbird, owner of Action Towing,stated that in the DPS application to be in the rotation list there are terms that need to be met such as a certain number of years of experience. Vice Mayor Barker stated that the Council changed the towing policy from 5,000 population for every towing truck to 10,000 population instead of increasing the number of towing companies; that the Council accepted the change,which she opposed,with the addition of an alternate which was left up to the Police Chief to implement,but she heard nothing about who that alternate was. Councilman Hendricks stated he did not understand why we have to set a population number for how many tow companies we have;if we have ten companies which meet the qualifications and they all are eligible,they should be on the rotation list.He pointed out that DPS has about a $500,000 insurance level and we ask for one million. City Attorney Glenn Gimbut explained that when the police orders that a particular towing company tows away a vehicle,that company can be considered to be possibly our agent or our representative.He added that these days on personal injury lawsuits a million dollars is not very much. Councilman Hendricks asked if all of these companies meet the standards,why should they not be allowed on the list. City Manager Mike Lee suggested to allow Chief McDaniel to answer that question. Chief McDaniel replied that if they wanted to eliminate that number it was fine. Vice Mayor Barker suggested to delineate the facility,equipment,and reputation standards as those of DPS. Chief McDaniel replied that the equipment would be the same used for a call from a citizen.

Chief McDaniel replied that those for the benefit of the City and the Vice Mayor Barker agreed with that ng the statutes in there to be more Councilman Hendricks asked if there Chief McDaniel answered that there Councilman Hendricks asked if that company committee within the police department. Chief McDaniel answered that it was Councilman Hendricks asked if the alternate by the committee. Chief McDaniel answered he could not because he needed to go back and find out about Vice Mayor Barker asked Councilman Hendricks if his purpose at this point was to ask staff to draw up a change in this ordinance. direction. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE TOE 18 Councilman Hendricks answered yes. Mayor Perkins asked what will be the Councilman Hendricks answered that it will be to eliminate the population clause and make it equitable for all eligible towing companies to be put on the rotation list. Mayor Perkins asked if we then would have rotation instead of primary companies. Councilman Hendricks replied that whoever meets the qualifications can be put on the towing company list and it just goes on a rotation basis.He stated that his objective is to make it fair to all the qualified companies and not restrict it to just a few. Vice Mayor Barker asked Councilman Hendricks if he would like to open this up to any towing company within Apache Junction who has a city business license and who meets the qualifications set up in this towing policy. Councilman Hendricks answered yes and added that it would be according to the policy that is the correct one. Vice Mayor Barker asked if he would add the definition of terms to that. Councilman Hendricks answered yes. Vice Mayor Barker asked that those terms be similar to the ones in the DPS policy. Mr.Gimbut stated that both "A"and "B"towing policies make reference to compliance with all of the requirements of the State law and all of the rules and regulations regarding tow truck operations promulgated by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.He stated tow truck companies in our State have to be licensed and regulated by DPS and he believed those companies already know what those rules are.He added we do not necessarily have to duplicate those rules in our policies. reference that however. Ms.Connelly replied that we should Vice Mayor Barker agreed with that. Mr.Gimbut stated he is saying that we already have that reference in our policy. Vice Mayor Barker replied she felt better if the reference is an A.R.S. Mrs.Wallace asked that the Council also add in the ordinance that the records of calls for towing be released. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 8 OF 18 public records. request for those records at department is to forward the was not referred to the City Mr.Gimbut stated those were already Ms.Connelly suggested to fill out a her office because their practice with the police request to them. Mayor Perkins asked if Mrs.Wallace Clerk's office for her request. Mrs.Wallace answered she was told that it was not a matter of public record. Ms.Connelly stated that those are public records. Councilman Coleman asked what the towing policies are in other cities and if they limit it on the basis of population. City Manager Lee answered he knows some that do it that way but he could not remember what the reason was.He believed it was management and administrative reasons because it was easier to manage a handful of tow companies. Vice Mayor Barker recalled that last time the Council got several different towing policies and it was 50/50;some of them based it on population and some left it open. tow companies are in Apache Junction. three that are licensed. Councilwoman Richmond asked how many Ms.Connelly answered there are Councilwoman Richmond stated that she did not see a harm in having three companies on our rotation list. Councilman Hendricks MOVED TO HAVE STAFF GO BACK THROUGH THIS ORDINANCE AND DELETE THE POPULATION CLAUSE AND OPEN IT UP TO QUALIFYING TOWING COMPANIES THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS,HAVE A CITY BUSINESS LICENSE,RESIDE IN THE CITY AND THEIR LOTS ARE IN THE CITY;AND THAT WE HAVE MORE DEFINITION OF TERMS AS FAR AS FACILITIES AND REPUTATION AND TO REFERENCE D.P.S.TOWING (POLICIES). City Clerk Kathy Connelly asked if he wanted to stipulate a level of insurance. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 9 OF 18 Councilman Hendricks answered to leave it as is. Vice Mayor Barker SECONDED THE MOTION. Councilman Hendricks asked if it was possible to have this back by the end of this year. Assistant City Manager stated that it was a week's time because staff had to submit the materials for the next Council agenda by next Monday. leave it as is. MOTION. January 18,1994 meeting. was enough time. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. Vice Mayor Barker suggested the Councilman Hendricks asked if that Ms.Connelly confirmed that. Mayor Perkins recessed the meeting at 8:17 p.m.She reconvened the meeting at 8:34 p.m. CONTINGENCY FUNDS TO SUPPLEMENT PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AT THE RODEO ARENA )Mayor Perkins called on Carol Doty,Chamber of Commerce Director,to speak on this item. Ms.Carol Doty stated that the in support of a general purpose facility being needs of the community of Apache Junction such as the She further spoke on the development and use of the Chamber of Commerce is developed to serve the present rodeo grounds. rodeo grounds. Ms.Michelle Wilson,86 N.Raindance Rd.,president of the Superstition Mountain 4-H Community Club,spoke in support of developing the rodeo arena. Mr.Robert Trepp,2300 W.Apache Trail (Dairy Queen),spoke on behalf of Main Street in support of funding the development of the rodeo grounds. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 10 OF 18 Mr.John Pein,6326 E.20th Ave., spoke on behalf of the Superstition Horsemen's Association in favor of this item. Mr.Gary Mulholland,215 W.17th Ave.,Parks & Recreation commissioner,spoke in favor of this item. Mayor Perkins asked the City Manager to speak on this item. City Manager Mike Lee supported the project and asked Mr.Mulholland if they were still asking for $60,000 for the rodeo arena. Mr.Mulholland explained it would be $60,000 for the initial phase and $4,000 additional for the lighting. Mr.Lee stated this project would be a good investment;that there are ways to finance things such as a four-or five -lease purchase;if we do it this way initially,we can help repay that lease purchase debt with revenues that would be generated from the facility. He stated that instead of the Chamber spending the thousands of dollars to rent those facilities,they could use those funds to help buy the facility. Mr.Lee further explained that the City has a bond program which was thought it might generate approximately $800,000 or $900,000 which could be used for the first phase of a new City Hall,but i t looks now like it will be closer to $400,000 or $500,000 instead, and he did not believe that was adequate funds to justify the first phase of another city building,but they could be made available for the rodeo grounds. He also favored having a masterplan or long-range plan for that facility and that maybe we needed to consider spending some money in the planning process. Mr.Lee stated we need to be cautious about simply taking $60,000 out of contingency funds tonight and suggested to consider other options that will have less financial impact on the City right now when we are still uncertain about the revenues for this year.He also reminded the Council that a merit increase was not approved for employees this year,that several positions have not been filled,and besides we are spending more than what our revenues are. Mayor Perkins agreed on having a masterplan for this project. Vice Mayor Barker suggested to come up with a methodology that would allow us to meet the short-term needs while exploring the availability of paths for the long term.She asked what can we do to answer the short-term needs of say the next six weeks or so. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 11 OF 18 Mr.Lee answered that we can have a lease -purchase quickly in a couple of weeks. Mr.Lee stated he did not doubt that we could take the $60,000 out of the bond funds and still have the other projects as we planned,but he did not know how long that process will take. Mr.Gimbut suggested to ask Mark Reader if we can do a lease purchase for a short-term financing to be taken out by the bond funds and be replaced by the bond funds,because the interest rate on those bond funds were not going to get a lease purchase. Mr.Lee replied that it may not even be a lease -purchase but a C.O.P or Certificate of Participation which they have normally recommended in the past. Vice Mayor Barker asked how soon can they get information on all of these options. Mr.Lee answered that it could be by the next meeting,December 21st. Vice Mayor Barker stated she supported the development of the rodeo grounds,but before they committed the money,she would like to have some good,sound,concrete information of ways that we can do it. Mr.Lee replied that Mike Cafisso said there was a process that can be followed which is not unusual and consisted of notifying the bond holders,getting approval from the Trustee, and getting the approval from the M.P.C.(Municipal Property Corporation);but whether or not they would approve it,he did not know. They further discussed what the process would be for getting the funds from the bond program for this project. Someone speaking away from the microphone stated that the only delay on this project is getting the Council's approval along with the process of public advertisement for the bid.He suggested that the Council show their vote of approval tonight and the dollar amount later after they find out where the money will be coming from. Parks & Recreation Director Jeff Bell stated that the rodeo park is on top of the Five -Years Parks Plan list. He stated that the rodeo arena could go in and things could be masterplaned around it;that they are looking at a site larger than the twenty acres that they presently have,maybe sixty,eighty,or a hundred acres and that they neededito get the public's input on things such as exhibit halls,an outdoor concert,an amphitheater or stage,and that these things also needed to be REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 12 OF 18 considered by people from the Lost Dutchman Days and the Old West Festival. He stated that the $60,000 does not include any money for the announcer stand that was lost in the fire which the insurance company estimated would be about $8,500 to reconstruct,but we would only get $4,000 or $5,000 for that. Mayor Perkins asked if the announcer stand can be built of stucco instead of wood. Mr.Bell answered that they could surely do that but they are relying on only so much money. Mayor Perkins stated that the way she is hearing it is a -few sticks of wood thrown together but that is not the way she is seeing the rodeo park;that if we are going to do it,we should do it well and attractively. Mr.Bell indicated that we may get about a quarter -million dollars in grant money from the heritage funds for the third phase of prospector park which is about a half -million project and this is coming up soon,so there might be some other delays besides the Council's decision because staff will be working on that but they will try their best effort on this. Mr.Bell stated he was concerned with our maintenance capabilities because Parks was understaffed right now,and he listed some of the city maintenance work needed.He added that there were enough volunteers to help the rodeo facility get started and get it maintained for the short term and maybe in the long term also.He stated that a full- time maintenance person needed to be considered in the future because we keep building things but more people are needed to maintain the new facilities. Vice Mayor Barker agreed with Mr.Bell's comments and Mayor Perkins commended the department for their job. spoke away from the microphone). this project. Mr.Pein made some comments (he Councilman Cox expressed support for Vice Mayor Barker stated she supported the project but it was difficult for her to decide on the money,but she would vote yes either way. Vice Mayor Barker MOVED THAT THIS COUNCIL SHOW SUPPORT FOR THE RODEO GROUNDS AND THAT THE STAFF PLEASE FIND A METHOD WITH WHICH WE COULD FUND IT AND BRING THOSE OPTIONS BACK IN TWO WEEKS. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 13 OF 18 Councilman Hendricks SECONDED THE MOTION. Councilman Coleman offered a substitute motion:THAT WE APPROVE SUPPLEMENTING THE PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET TO BEGIN IMPROVEMENTS AT THE RODEO GROUNDS AND INSTRUCT STAFF TO COME BACK WITH OPTIONS IN TWO WEEKS ON HOW TO FUND IT. Vice Mayor Barker SECONDED THE MOTION.She withdrew her motion and Councilman Hendricks his second on their first motion. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTIONS CHANGES TO CART VENDOR REGULATIONS )Mayor Perkins indicated there was a request for a concession stand which our regulations did not provide for. Mr.Lorin Scholtes,3405 Tomahawk Rd.,explained to the Council that our regulations are restricted to sixteen square foot carts and his concession stand is only 8'x 10'square foot. Vice Mayor Barker asked if that was a peddler's cart or a concession stand and if that is not a different thing. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly answered it was a concession stand.She stated that the ordinance right now strictly addresses cart vendors which have to be on wheels. Vice Mayor Barker stated this is a concession stand and does not even fall under our peddlers ordinance. Ms.Connelly replied that peddlers are different than cart vendors,which is why it is on the agenda for direction to staff.She stated that staff has thought for some time that the 16 square foot cart was overly restrictive and there needed to be some expansion,however this concession stand is a different type structure and they would possibly need to look at some zoning issues.She suggested that something of this size would be on a very limited basis such as a grand opening or no more than three days or a special type of sale and an estate sale. Vice Mayor Barker asked if a store that is having a grand opening cannot have somebody outside set up to sell hamburgers when they request it. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 14 OF 18 ordinance that is correct. when Q -Fresh and others sell hot dogs. have a cart. concession stand. whatever Q -Fresh had. Ms.Connelly replied that under our Mayor Perkins asked what happens Ms.Connelly answered they usually Mayor Perkins stated they had a Ms.Connelly replied she did not see Mayor Perkins commented it was fine if the stores ask a concession stand to come in and set up but she did not agree on them being out here on their own and that most of these concession stands are used at carnivals and the such but they cannot go out and compete with the business community with those. Ms.Connelly stated that when the cart vendor ordinance was done,one of the provisions was that if a cart was selling hot dogs,it could not be within a certain distance of a business selling the same type of things so that there would not be competition. Vice Mayor Barker asked for clarification on what the Council wanted to do. Ms.Connelly answered that they were suggesting two things:(1)do something to allow a larger size cart and (2)to allow something such as what Mr.Scholtes has but on a limited basis.She added that i t has to be on commercial property that has open restroom facilities so that people can wash their hands and be similar to what we reuire for cart vendors. Mayor Perkins stated that our Health Department was very strict and asked Mr.Scholtes if he had his business inspected by Pinal County Health Department. Mr.Scholtes answered that he informed the Health Department of his type of business but they did not check it out. Ms.Connelly stated that the City could not issue a business license without a clearance from the Health Department. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 15 OF 18 Vice Mayor Barker agreed with Ms.Connelly's suggested changes. The Council and staff further discussed the changes. Ms.Connelly clarified that staff would be looking at making two proposals:first,to change the square footage requirement of a regular cart and then introduce something that would allow for the concession stand but they also should limit the size of this. Mayor Perkins asked about the average size for a concession stand. Mr.Scholtes answered...(inaudible, he spoke away from the microphone). Mrs.Anne Williams,479 N.Cactus, stated she had an 8'x 10'cart and she has not seen one that was 4'x 4'.She suggested to rather state that it cannot take up a space larger than 4'x 4'and asked that the ordinance be changed. Ms.Connelly stated that they will call around and get some general ideas for the size limit. Mayor Perkins asked if they will also address the concession stands. Ms.Connelly answered that it will require adding another section to the Code but that was no problem. Councilwoman Richmond MOVED THAT WE DIRECT STAFF TO REVIEW THE CURRENT CART VENDOR AND CONCESSION STAND REGULATIONS AND BRING BACK A PROPOSED CHANGE FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION. Vice Mayor Barker SECONDED THE MOTION. Ms.Connelly asked if the Council wanted back an ordinance for adoption or if they wanted to see a report and then give further direction to staff. Vice Mayor Barker asked if they could have the report put in their mail boxes and then,unless staff heard from the Council,have it in ordinance form. Ms.Connelly pointed out this was the holiday season and asked the Council when they would expect to see this back. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7,1993 PAGE 16 OF 18 Councilwoman Richmond suggested the first meeting in February 1994. Ms.Connelly agreed on that. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried.
