Mayor Bluntschly thanked Director of Public Works Rich Broman,Operations Supervisor Doug Dobson,and the crews for the efforts put forth and the job well done. Mayor Bluntschly called upon Mr.Dick Mitchell to give a presentation on the Municipal Property Corporation. City Manager Michael R.Lee commented that there are numerous infrastructure needs that the City will be facing,and one of the accepted means for financing those needs is through Municipal Property Corporations. Mr.Dick Mitchell,with the law firm of O'Connor,Cavanaugh,Anderson, Westover,Killingsworth and Beshears,addressed the Council,stating that several meetings have been held with staff and Peacock and Hislop,to discuss the potential improvements in the City for the future,and one of the alter- natives for funding suggested is the formation of a Municipal Property Corporation.Mr.Mitchell stated that probably 70% of the municipalities throughout the State have a Municipal Property Corporation,to finance anything from libraries,city halls,infrastructure with regard to water/sewer,and this is allowed under State law.Mr.Mitchell further outlined the purpose of a Municipal Property Corporation,and the process for forming it. Vice Mayor Damiano asked i f the City built a city hall,could the current buildings be leased. Mr.Mitchell explained that a restriction with tax exempt financing,is that 95% of the proceeds of the issue must be used for a governmental purpose,so i t would have to stay within the 5%should they be leased to a nongovernmental agency. Councilwoman Alger asked i f councilmembers normally serve on these boards. Mr.Mitchell replied that there is not a prohibition and varies,however,i t is preferable to have less than a majority,but that he personally requires that all members be residents of the city. Mr.Mitchell added that under the Arizona Nonprofit Corporation laws,there must be at least three directors,but not more than 25,and that the normal is from three to five. Director of Public Works Rich Broman stated that there were some people interested in serving on the board who were invited to hear this presentation, and asked what members would be required to do. Mr.Mitchell explained that the function of the Municipal Property Corporation is a "financing arm"of the municipality and serves at the pleasure REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 15,1990 PAGE 3 of the municipality,and the only meetings would be the required annual meeting and when the City requests the financing of a given project,which generally requires two meetings per project. Councilwoman Alger asked how much actual power these directors would have. Mr.Mitchell replied that there is very little power,as the Mayor and Council can remove the directors with or without cause,and the directors are prohibited from incurring indebtedness without the approval of the Mayor and Council,and the Council controls what financing would be done. ITEM NO.18 DIRECTION TO STAFF ON MUNICIPAL PROPERTY CORPORATION,RESOLUTION,ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION,AND BYLAWS. City Manager Michael R.Lee stated that direction is requested should the Council wish staff to proceed with the formation of a Municipal Property Corporation.

Councilman Vehon asked if alter- native methods of financing are being looked into,and i f the costs for inciden- tals was previously figured into the assessments. City Engineer Gordon Grandy replied that previously it was figured in the individual parcels that are located on the corner. Councilman Vehon reiterated that the $45,000 is the cost for curb,gutter and sidewalk around the intersection. Mayor Bluntschly asked i f there was anyone who wished to address the Council pertaining to this item.There being no one wishing to speak,Mayor Bluntschly closed the hearing to the public.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 15,1990 PAGE 6 Chief McDaniel referred the question City Engineer Gordon Grandy explained that the truck route designation is to keep the grid system intact. Mayor Bluntschly asked why,in light of the Council's concerns,was this changed to allow truck traffic on Broadway again. Mr.Grandy replied that it was his feeling that the major concern with Broadway was at the intersection of Royal Palm,and that the route of Broadway between Meridian and Idaho does not have the problems with trucks turning movements.Mr.Grandy added that at a future meeting,a change will be proposed to install signs restricting turning of any vehicles over 36 feet in length at the Royal Palm intersection. Mayor Bluntschly stated that the other concerns were at Delaware and Broadway,and east of Delaware along the residential and school area. Mr.Grandy explained that the feeling is to maintain the model grid system,and that some of the routes are not open such as Southern and the Superstition Freeway,and that the map was prepared in anticipation to certain routes being open to trucks in the future, and that once Broadway is widened there would be no reason to restrict truck traffic. Councilman Cox commented that raising the weight limit would not be a problem,from 8,000 lbs.to 10,000 lbs., but many people have thanked him for getting the trucks off of Broadway. Councilman Vehon asked i f this could be adopted and leave Broadway closed until i t is widened and improved. Mr.Grandy replied that the truck route is on the map,which can be changed any way the Council desires. Vice Mayor Damiano commented that he has also been getting a lot of phone calls with people wanting truck traffic prohibited entirely from Broadway.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 15,1990 PAGE 11 NEW BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT OF AN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ASSESSMENT FORMULA FOR SUPERSTITION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT )Mr.Grandy suggested making direc- tion as to what the Council wishes emphasized in the formula,such a the "per foot"basis instead of the "composite cost"associated with spreading the inci- dental costs. Councilwoman Alger stated that i t would be difficult to give a recommendation tonight as some of the construction costs that are in the incidental costs,the columns need to be adjusted to show the correct formula. Mr.Grandy explained that there are two types of incidentals,construction and administrative. Councilwoman Alger suggested reworking the figures and take another look at it. Mr.Broman suggested a lineal footage basis and not a construction ratio. Councilman Cox asked i f everyone wasn't paying for that on the side streets at the curb. City Manager Michael R.Lee explained that this is only at the intersection. Councilwoman Alger asked that the formula be done three or four different ways and presented for the Council to review. Mr.Grandy stated that he had intended to,but i t appears to be the people in the area are concerned and not the Council. Councilwoman Alger commented that the Council would like to present something viable to the people concerned. Mr.Grandy asked i f the Council wishes to make a decision on "ordering the work"at the June 5th meeting without having another property owner -type meeting to display these alternatives for formulas. alternative formulas can be ready. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 15,1990 PAGE 12 Councilwoman Alger asked how soon Mr.Grandy replied that they can be prepared by the end of the week. Councilwoman Alger suggested Councilmembers coming in and looking at these individually to allow staff to come up with some kind of consensus between Council and staff,prior to the June 5th meeting. Councilman Vehon asked i f the $42,889.00 for administration soft costs is an engineers estimate of what would be required to the term. Mr.Grandy replied that this is 10 years worth of record keeping,by Scott Ruby's estimate,and was prior to all of the changes in hard costs. Councilman Vehon asked i f i t is appropriate to look at paving Superstition now,and only putting in curb,gutter and sidewalk for those who have postponed i t or want it. Mr.Grandy replied that Mr.Ruby would probably say this is a significant change in the plans,therefore making i t necessary to start over. Councilman Vehon asked i f those wanting specific assessment are still paying for those,i f those are dropped,in the engineering estimates. Mr.Grandy replied that the engi- neering fee is already fixed,unless the City is willing to contribute toward the incidentals. Councilman Vehon asked why someone who didn't want those specific assessment to begin with be penalized. Mr.Grandy replied that it would be very difficult to break out those dollars from an engineering estimate viewpoint. Mr.Broman stated that those wishing additional specifics already entered into an agreement to pay the engineering costs. Councilman Vehon MOVED THAT THIS SUPERSTITION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ASSESSMENT FORMULA BE CONTINUED TO THE JUNE 5TH COUNCIL MEETING. Councilwoman Alger seconded the motion. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL MAY 15,1990 PAGE 13 VOTE:Unanimous The motion carried.

Councilwoman Alger seconded the motion. VOTE:Unanimous The motion carried.

City Clerk Kathleen Connelly requested direction to allow staff to go into the City Code to accomplish the establishment of a procedure to allow for the suspension of a license,and to make uniform the procedure for the appeal process and revocation of a license. Councilman Vehon asked the City Attorney i f the existing language is not adequate. City Attorney David Alexander replied that there are currently several different people making the suspension process,there should be an appeals process,even i f there is a hearing through the City Clerk's office,but that there are currently inconsistencies. Mayor Bluntschly commented that the purpose of this agenda item is to treat everyone on an equal basis.

Councilman Vehon stated that the Superstition Horseman's Association was to be present at the work session. Councilwoman Alger added that there will also be the Improvement District on the work session agenda. Mayor Bluntschly suggested having the Horseman's Association at the later date.
