NEW BUSINESS ADOT IDAHO ROAD DESIGN AT SCENIC STREET ) )Mayor Damiano called upon the City Engineer to address the item. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated the issue is being resurrected because he is concerned with traffic safety in the Community and two members currently on Council were not on the City Council at the time of original consideration.He thanked the Mayor for allowing i t to be heard once more.He stated the proposal is repeated on behalf of ADOT,the design consultant,the Transportation Board for the City of A.J.,the Public Works Director,and a variety of other people who previously supported the cul-de-sac issue.He advised the council that the proposed cul-de-sac is on Scenic Drive,west of Winchester;and provides for entrance at the County park.He showed council and the public a configuration of what the improvements to Idaho Road and State Route 88 could look like i f the Scenic cul-de-sac were in place.He emphasized that from previous information,statistics,and analysis done by ADOT's consultants,the cul-de-sac is the proper and safe thing to do.Mr.Grandy stated the cul-de-sac provides access to the park in the southeast quadrant of the City. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 4 Councilwoman Alger asked for clarification that there would be a barrier at the corner where Idaho and Scenic intersect.She asked i f anyone would be able to turn on to Scenic at that point.She clarified that the roadway would be eliminated and the cul-de-sac would be for the sole purpose of allowing the park entrance to be used from the east. Mr.Grandy stated with the cul- de-sac proposal there would be curb,gutter and sidewalk,without any kind of barrier.He stated that the cul-de-sac is for people coming up Winchester or coming from the east down Scenic just to get to the park. Mayor Damiano called upon Ms Grace Schenck who wished to address this item. Ms.Grace Schenck,269 N. Winchester Road,Apache Junction,Arizona,agreed that there is a traffic hazard but called to Council's attention her belief that another would be created on Winchester in Superstition Park.She stated there are one hundred units,six or eight apartment buildings,and private dwellings along the road.She stated all these people would be forced to go to the stop sign at Idaho for access to the City buildings,the library,and the post office.She asked that Winchester be punched through and a stop sign placed to provide access without such a circuitous route.She stated i t would lessen the burden for people on Winchester Road. Councilwoman Barker stated the most important factor is that ADOT has provided a letter saying there is a health and safety problem with the present plan. Councilman Coleman agreed with Councilwoman Barker and added that important to him was that the cul-de-sac option has been supported by the Transportation Board,the City Engineer, ADOT Traffic Division,ADOT design consultant,the Chamber of Commerce,and the general public.He expressed his concern over the City's liability i f the City chooses to go against the recommendation of all the experts in the field. Vice Mayor Eidson explained the Council originally provided for one-way travel on Scenic because of it's sensitivity to the business community.He stated there was a concern that the businesses on Scenic would suffer because of the changes. Councilwoman Barker MOVED THAT THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATION BE MADE TO THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REGARDING THE IDAHO ROAD DESIGN AT SCENIC STREET:THAT ADOT PROCEED WITH THEIR DESIRE TO BUILD A CUL-DE-SAC DESIGN AT THAT INTERSECTION. Councilman Coleman SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 5 The motion carried. INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT ) )Mayor Damiano introduced Mr. Dick Carr from Westrends and Mr.Keith Hilgendorf from the Chamber of Commerce to address Council on this item. Mr.Richard Carr advised the Council on the planning and direction of the Chamber of Commerce with regard to the formation of a community facilities district.Mr.Carr said he wished to address two entirely separate issues relating to wastewater facilities.He said the first is the formation of a community facilities district and the second is the planning,design,and development of a wastewater treatement plant i f the community facilities district is formed which would provide wastewater collection and treatment for only those residences,businesses,and industries within the community who desire the service. Councilman Perkins asked what would happen to a resident whose septic system fails and who does not wish to hook up to the treatment system.He asked i f the EPA or the State could force the resident to hook up to the system. Mr.Carr stated i t is his understanding that the ADEQ can only compel someone to stop doing what one is doing;ADEQ cannot force someone to do something.He further stated that a community facilities system,when formed,is an entity in and of itself and cannot compel anyone who is not in the district to do anything. He said the only people who would be in the district would be those people who petitioned to form the district and in theory those people would want to be connected to the sewer. Mr.Carr explained that a community facilites system is formed by the businesses,the industries,the institutions,and the property owners within the municipal boundaries who want a wastewater treatment system.He stated that any piece of property can be in the district,contiguous property is not a requirement.He stated people wishing to form this type of district would petition the Council,which is what the Chamber of Commerce is doing.Mr.Carr emphatically stated he believes in open,public forums and will appear before any group at any time with a few days notice to speak,answer questions,or listen to anyone with regard to the system.He emphasized that this district is a business and is different from some public services in that i t must raise enough money on an annual basis to pay the cost of operation and the retirement of the debt of constructing a facility.He stated the rates will be adjusted upward or downward to ensure that the balance always stays in place and stressed that economic viability is a must. Vice Mayor Eidson asked Mr. Carr about withdrawing from the district once you become part of it. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 6 Mr.Carr stated the boundaries can be amended to increase or to delete people at reasonable times.Mr. Carr stated that a party can resign from the district and/or the party can resign as a customer;or the party can resign as a customer without resigning from the district;but the cost of the contract with the district would have to be paid.Mr.Carr agreed with the City Attorney's explanation that the participants would pay a hook-up fee to be part of the system,and i f the party dropped out,the system would retain the hook-up fee although the party would discontinue payment of the monthly assessment. Councilwoman Alger thanked Mr. Carr for appearing before Council to explain how the district works. Vice Mayor Eidson asked why i t was necessary to bring this request to the City Council;and asked for an explanation of what would happen i f the City were to deny the request. City Attorney Glenn Gimbut stated community facilities districts as a legal vehicle are relatively new but i t would appear that it would be a ministerial act by council in much the same way an improvement district is handled when a proper petition is brought to Council. Vice Eidson asked i f there was any way this district would cost the City money. Mr.Carr answered that i t very clearly would not;the only way the City of Apache Junction could expend funds within the environment of the district would be i f the City wanted to do so.He cited,as an example,that i f there was an area of the City that the City felt, for economic stimulation or for the growth of the community,a wastewater treatment line would be helpful the City could approach the district and state they wanted the line and could contribute in part to the cost of it.He stated that very easily the City could never have an obligation to it. In response to a question from Mayor Damiano,Mr.Carr stated that i f connecting to a residence is not an economically viable thing for the business to do,it will not be done;he stated i t has to be an economically viable situation --revenues have to be equal to expenditures on a monthly and yearly basis. Keith Hilgendorf,Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce,1075 W.Smoketree,Apache Junction,conveyed to the Council two concerns expressed by the Chamber.He stated the first concern was for the economic stability of the community and second concern was the uncertainty of future environmental sanctions on the community.He stated those concerns and looking to the future,were the reasons the Chamber has entered the agreement with Westrends to evaluate the feasibility of the creation of such a district.He stated the Chamber is attempting to identify the extent of interest in a wastewater treatment facility,i t is not attempting to sell the business. COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF ON PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR ACTIONS: REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 7 STATE SHARED REVENUES )City Manager Lee reminded the Council that communities are interested in changing the formula for the distribution of State shared sales taxes.He stated there are concerns from other local entities that by doing so the door will be opened for the State Legislature to place a cap or eliminate this voter approved source of revenue. Councilwoman Barker stated she contacted the Legislator from District 7 and several others on this item and their comments were that the Legislature knows no more than anyone else about it.She stated she has been told the Legislature has seen this proposal at a glance,and she felt very strongly that the proposal from Fountain Hills should not be endorsed because i t is not known that the assertions are valid,nor is i t known what the full body of League of Cities and Towns is going to do.Ms. Barker said she does not wish to support Fountain Hills resolution which asks that Pima's proposal not be considered because at this point the City stands to gain money from Pima's proposal. City Manager Mike Lee stated that one of the reasons this item is on the agenda is that the League of Arizona Cities and Town's annual conference is coming up and the Mayor will be voting for various resolutions and i t is important for him to know how the Council stands on this issue. Councilman Coleman stated he would prefer the City stay neutral on the issue because the City limits extend into Maricopa County but he also did not wish to go against something that could be of financial benefit to the City. Councilman Perkins stated $200,000 to $300,000 would help the City out but questioned whether the City would be opening the door for the legislature to get involved.He said i t appears that all that is being done is that Pima County's resolution is asking that the system be changed to become more equitable to the rural communities.He would like to support them and see what happens with the Legislature. Vice Mayor Eidson asked i f the Mayor would be able to stay neutral or i f he would have to vote one way or the other. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly stated the Mayor may be able to abstain and could possibly use the fact that Apache Junction lies in both Maricopa and Pinal County. Councilwoman Alger stated she believes the City has a problem in not knowing where the legislature is headed. She said she has difficulty making a decision now that could injure the City either way.She stated she would prefer not to proceed too quickly. Councilwoman Barker MOVED THAT THE DIRECTION BE GIVEN THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER TO THE APPROPRIATE STAFF TO CONTACT CITIES IN PINAL COUNTY TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND TO OBTAIN ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE CHANGES TO THE STATE SHARED REVENUE DISTRIBUTION FORMULA BY THE OCTOBER 15,1991,MEETING. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 8 Councilman Coleman SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous. The motion carried. COMMUNITY CLEAN UP EVENTS )Public Works Director Rich Broman stated a base fee of $10.00 for a pickup load of trash which would allow someone up to one truckload.He said another alternative would be to charge an additional $5.00 fee for each load over the first,and an additional $15.00 fee i f i t took a double axle dump truck which holds 14 cubic yards.He recommended appliances and bulky items have a fee of $2.00 each and a $20.00 fee for junk cars.He stated he believes this process will involve more administration than ever before.He recommended a $10.00 fee for the next two events,and then review for the purpose of making any necessary adjustments. Councilwoman Alger asked i f the Public Works Director was recommending that junk cars also cost only $10.00 for removal,or the $20.00 previously stated. Mr.Broman stated junk cars require extra effort and he has no problem with a $10.00 charge for trash and $20.00 for a junk car. Councilwoman Alger asked i f Mr. Broman believed there would still be participation with junk cars i f the City charges $20.00.She asked i f the junk yard would charge the resident i f the resident were to place the call to have the car hauled away. Mr.Broman stated that in the past they have paid an administration fee for the coordination of effort;the city has not been charged for the disposal of the vehicles. Councilman Eidson stated he did not believe the junk yard would charge residents to haul away junk vehicles and added the title would have to be provided. Councilman Coleman MOVED THAT PUBLIC WORKS CLEAN-UP EVENTS CONTINUE TO BE CONDUCTED DURING THE MONTHS OF DECEMBER AND MAY AND THAT SERVICE CHARGES BE ESTABLISHED TO OFFSET PROGRAMS COSTS AS FOLLOWS: $10.00 FOR TRASH PICKUP,AND $20.00 FOR EACH JUNK CAR WITH TITLE;AND FURTHER, THAT SHOULD THE PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB ALL OF THE PROGRAM COSTS,THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS BE APPROVED IN AN AMOUNT TO BE DETERMINED PRIOR TO THE END OF THE 1991-92 FISCAL YEAR. Councilwoman Barker SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 9 The motion carried. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE )Rich Broman,Public Works Director outlined the proposal to join with other jurisdictions to conduct a one -day limited household hazardous waste collection event that would include paint, anti -freeze,motor oil,batteries,and possibly gasoline.He stated the action requested is authorization to coordinate with other jurisdictions on the event and also authorization of an expenditure not to exceed $500.00.He solicited specific direction from Council on the collection of gasoline because of the expense involved in getting rid of it. Mayor Damiano stated he rarely sees anyone throw away gasoline.He also outlined his experience with the handling of similar hazardous wastes while he was in the service. Councilman Perkins recommended the City not get involved with the disposal of gasoline at this time and advised Council that gasoline is placed very high on the EPA list of cleanup materials. He further recommended that prior to getting involved in gasoline disposal in the future the City contact different facilities who dispose of this material to see i f they will work with the City on a community -type effort. Councilwoman Barker MOVED THAT THE FOLLOWING DIRECTION BE GIVEN TO THE APPROPRIATE CITY STAFF,THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER,REGARDING THE DISPOSAL OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE AND THE SCHEDULED EVENT FOR NOVEMBER 16,1991:THAT THE EVENT BE LIMITED TO PAINT,ANTIFREEZE,MOTOR OIL, AND BATTERIES;AND THAT THE EVENT BE PREDICATED ON JOINT PARTICIPATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES;AND THAT AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $500.00 TO OFF -SET THE HARD COSTS BE APPROVED. Councilman Perkins SECONDED THE MOTION. VOTE:Unanimous The motion carried. COUNCIL/STAFF RETREAT Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated there are locations both inside and outside the city limits for the Council/Staff retreat to be held on November 2,1991.In addition to Gold Canyon Ranch which is outside the City limits,the facilities inside the City limits would include the Grand Hotel,Winchester Restaurant,the Apache Junction Senior Center,and the Chamber of Commerce conference room. Mayor Damiano asked how many people were expected to attend. City Manager Lee stated that within the City organization there would be approximately twenty and advised the Council of the possibility that others outside the organization might attend. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 10 City Manager Lee stated that within the City organization there would be approximately twenty and advised the Council of the possibility that others outside the organization might attend. In response to a question from the Mayor,Mr.Hoffman stated the cost of catering has not been investigated but would not exceed the proposal from Gold Canyon Ranch. Councilwoman Barker expressed her discomfort with being asked to make a decision with one set of date and one option provided without the other options being equally addressed.She asked why it appeared there was a preference for a specific location outside the city and asked what the rationale behind the preference might be. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated it would cost approximately $10.00 per person for coffee and a modest lunch if the retreat was held at a location within the City limits. City Manager Lee stated one of the reasons for obtaining cost information on Gold Canyon was that concern had been expressed that it might be too expensive. Councilman Perkins stated each Councilperson has addressed in the newspaper at one time or another concern that so many people go outside the City to spend,and now the Council is discussing going out of the City to spend City money.He stated that if there is a location within the City where the retreat can be held he would prefer that the Council stay within the City and spend the money inside the City. Vice Mayor Eidson stated generally speaking he favors staying in the City whenever possible but to accomplish the purpose of the retreat requires a quiet location.He referred to the noise level at a previous retreat which was not conducive to productive effort.He asked that wherever the retreat is held it be in a area that is closed off without interruptions and distractions. Councilman Perkins asked if the kind of facility the Vice Mayor suggested is within the City. Assistant City Manager George Hoffman stated that if it is the Council's direction to find a suitable facility at a modest cost it will be done;if the Council has a strong preference for a specific site,direction needs to be given. Councilman Cox stated City funds should be spent inside the City rather than outside even if it was necessary to spend more. Mayor Damiano offered to assist in locating a place within the City that will meet the needs outlined. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 17,1991 PAGE 11 Councilman Perkins MOVED THAT THE FOLLOWING ACTION BE TAKEN REGARDING THE COUNCIL/STAFF RETREAT SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 2,1991:LOCATE A SUITABLE OCCUPANCY WHERE WE CAN CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS AT A REASONABLE COST NOT TO EXCEED $380.00,WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
