CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
City Manager Mike Lee reported on the City's financial status.He
stated for the past six months revenues were enough to offset the City's
expenses,so the over -expenditure was not so great;he pointed out that
revenues come in a seasonal way being the high season in the winter and gave a
comparison of revenues and expenses of the last two -and -a -half years.
He stated the reason why the City is able to spend more than revenues
received is because of significant reserves from the past,but stated the City
can not do that indefinitely and at some point the City has to start matching
its expenses with its revenues.He stated the City is not allowed by law to
operate with a deficit at the end of the fiscal year.He pointed out that

reserve funds are required just for cash purposes and the finance director has
recommended that this fund be not under $600,000;this is necessary to offset
expenses in the summer when revenues are low and at this time that is about
what is available in reserves.
Mayor Damiano pointed out that $500,000 have already been borrowed from
that fund to offset over -expenditures.
Mr.Lee stated the City can not allow its reserves to go lower than they
are now.
Mr.Lee also reported that CAAG Management Committee recommended to the
Regional Council not to change the current method of distribution for the CDBG
funds this year and that Pinal County Alliance would meet on January 28th in

Councilwoman Barker SECONDED THE
MOTION.
Vice Mayor Eidson asked if a person
whose nonconforming use is about to expire could get a special use permit.
Mr.Nakagawa replied conditional use
permits are not issued for nonconforming uses;conditional use permits are
issued for conditional uses in compliance with the zoning code;grandfathered
uses occur when the City adopts certain zoning provisions.
City Attorney Glenn Gimbut explained
the proposed amendment should not impact somebody's rights under a conditional
use permit one way or another;if a person has a valid CUP that expires and is
not renewed,this person could not be a grandfather user,unless the CUP is
current at the time of the amendment.
Vice Mayor Eidson asked if a person
with an overdue nonconforming use permit can renew that permit at any time
later.
Mr.Gimbut replied his understanding
is that if this is a valid,good -faith,application pending for proper zoning
rights,the City can wait until a decision is made on the process of that
application before taking any action.
Council proceeded with their final
vote.
VOTE:Unanimous.

Planning Division Manager Jim
Nakagawa stated that last year Council considered a General Plan amendment
when neighbors complained about a property zoned GR with RVs as permanent
dwelling units;this ordinance addresses that issue.He stated that on
December 10,1991 the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing and recommended approval of the amendment;this is consistent with the
General Plan and the intent of the zoning code,and staff is in accordance
with this proposal.

Mr.Larry (?),2782 E.14th Avenue.
He stated he lives in an RV on his lot in that area and even though he plans
to build a conventional home he is not ready yet.He stated not being in
favor of the amendment.
Mr.Nakagawa stated if his RV is a
permitted dwelling unit legally existing,it would be considered one of the
grandfathered in uses.
Mr.(?)asked if he could then

in the property,he could.
Mr.Gimbut replied if the RV remains
Mayor Damiano asked if Mr.(?)could
appeal to the Board of Adjustment for a variance to be able to upgrade his RV.
Mr.Nakagawa replied neither a
variance nor a conditional use permit are allowable in the zoning code in such
a case and he did not believe the Board of Adjustment can issue a variance in
that case.

hearing,there being no one else wanting to speak.
Vice Mayor Eidson asked if some of
the parks in that area that service RVs are GR.

Mr.Nakagawa replied only few,but
these would be grandfathered in.
Vice Mayor Eidson asked if a party
comes in the winter and stays in their RV for six months,is that considered
their residence?
Mr.Nakagawa stated it has not been
defined as to what constitutes a permanent dwelling unit.
Vice Mayor Eidson stated due to the
economy some people cannot afford anything other than an RV or a mobile home.
Mr.Nakagawa stated that matter was
considered and they concluded there are many RV parks that can accommodate
that type of dwelling unit,but to have them on an individual parcel they
would have to be built according to certain codes.
Vice Mayor Eidson was concerned that
RV parks in the GR zone would be restricted from having any more RVs.
Mr.Nakagawa again stated RV parks
in a GR zone would be treated as grandfathered use.
Vice Mayor Eidson stated he would
like to see Council postpone this amendment for a year until the economy
improves.
Councilwoman Barker pointed out it
is clear that the amendment would not affect the RV parks but private parcels
of land within the city limits.

BLISHING REQUIREMENTS FOR PARADE
PEDDLERS
city clerk to speak on this item.
Councilwoman Barker SECONDED THE
)Mayor Damiano called upon the
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated
in the past the City has faced some problems with peddlers at parades and
staff has requested that these be accommodated with the adoption of certain
requirements.She stated one of the requirements is that because peddlers
vend on the right-of-way they obtain insurance coverage in the amount of
$100,000,as recommended by the city attorney,naming the City as an
additional insured.This ordinance will help eliminate the law enforcement
problems encountered in the past.
Mayor Damiano asked how much that
insurance coverage would cost.
City Clerk Kathleen Connelly replied
she did not know.
Vice Mayor Eidson stated he did not
think it could be obtained for only a three-day period.He asked how could
peddlers hold the City responsible for something happening on the right-of-
way.
City Attorney Glenn Gimbut explained
that when the City is permitting an activity to occur on the right-of-way
where peddlers attract customer,if an accident happens,someone could argue
that the way peddlers conduct their business was negligent and led to the
accident;then the City as the authority who permitted peddler activities on
the right-of-way could be held responsible.
Vice Mayor Eidson stated if peddlers
have to buy a $100,000 insurance coverage and a $45 business license,he
wondered if they could make any profit.
Ms.Connelly replied the business
license fee is reduced to $10 with a $7.50 fee for photographs,identification
card and fingerprints.
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
JANUARY 21,1992
PAGE 10 OF 16
Mayor Damiano asked how the City
Business License office is going to enforce this ordinance.
Ms.Connelly replied the license
compliance specialist will be at events making inspections with perhaps some
other assistance.She stated it would not be difficult to enforce because
licensed peddlers would have their identification cards visibly displayed.
Vice Mayor Eidson stated he would
prefer not to have peddlers allowed in parades,rather than putting too many
restrictions on them that they can not comply.
Councilwoman Alger asked if non-
profit organizations have liability insurance that could put an inexpensive
rider on it and be used for peddling activity.
Ms.Connelly replied she believed so
and pointed out that peddlers who come to Apache Junction are those who
ordinarily go to other parades in the area,such as Phoenix,Scottsdale,etc.,
so they might have a long-term insurance policy.
Mayor Damiano addressed the public
for comments.
Mr.Harold Brambaugh,2935 E.18th
Ave.,stated if the City assumes responsibility by permitting peddlers at
parades,the City should not allow this.
Mr.Gimbut replied if the City is
aware of problems with peddlers at parades and the City does nothing about it,
but instead the City states it's illegal,then the City can be liable for that
reason alone.
Mayor Damiano asked if anyone else
wished to speak.There being no one else wishing to speak,he closed the
public hearing and asked for a motion.
Councilwoman Alger MOVED THAT
ORDINANCE NO.823 BE READ BY THE CITY CLERK ONLY AND THE READING OF THE ENTIRE
ORDINANCE BE WAIVED.
