He stated the other two things that will be studied are a transportation plan — based on the Arizona Department of Transportation study and the third thing will be a water systems analysis. City Clerk Rich Oesterle recognized the Director of Public Works.

NEW BUSINESS MEDIAN CROSSING HIGHWAY 60 (DISCUSSION ITEM) )Mayor Seeman called upon the Director of Public Works to provide background into the item. Director of Public Works Richard Broman stated that earlier in the year the State had been requested to provide a study because of the number of accidents being observed in the area where Highway 88 and Highway 60 merge to turn into the median access on the east side of the Alpha Beta Shopping Center.He stated from January 1978 to December 1979 there were 35 accidents in that location;from January 1980 until July 15,1980 there were an additional 25 accidents there,and in the past four months there have been an additional nine accidents at that location. He stated,that as indicated by the Transportation Action,the traffic study at the location,there are approximately 23,000 vehicles a day passing through the intersection and with the winter visitors the number will probably increase substantially.He reviewed the major problems in the vicinity,the recommendations of the Department of Public Works,the Department of Public Safety,and the State Highway Department.He stated the recommendation of the State Highway Department is that the median opening be altered to eliminate the left turn going south.He stated it would be altered in such a manner that persons exiting the shopping center and going east on Highway 60 would still be able to turn north and then move west through the median opening.He stated several meetings with the businessmen have been held;they have been given copies of the traffic study,the study has been explained to them;and a representative from the Highway Department has come down and answered their questions and provided the traffic engineering reasons why certain recommendations are being made.Mr. Broman stated it appears there are three options available --one,to close down the median entirely;two,to modify the median making it a one-way,out- bound,as previously explained;and finally,to do nothing.After reviewing the social costs of the accidents,Mr.Broman said i t is realized that some minor problems could be created to the business community,however,he felt that in lieu of any hard statistical evidence from the business community that their businesses would be jeopardized,i t is very difficult to make any other recom- mendations. Mr.Broman stated he feels a step was taken in the right direction at the meeting of November 19th when the State was requested to look at signalization and reduction of speed, etc.He stated the City is also coordinating with the State to get the Transportation Board into the City to hear the case and look at completely redesigning the intersection.He added these things are going to take time and that there is an immediate need for the change to be made now. Director of Public Safety Bill McDaniel stated Public Safety agrees with the suggested recommendation. Vice Mayor Granillo stated he felt the Council should approach the person who has the power to change their planning;he stated he felt the City has a lot of traffic and congestion;and just because it was projected ten years ago that there would be nothing in Apache Junction until 1985 does not mean changes cannot be made. Director of Public Works Broman stated that the State has a five-year plan and right now the City is not on the plan.He added he had done some research to come up with the proposals which the City has laid out at this time and stated the District VII Engineer has done some preliminary designs --schematic -type things and the State is aware of the problem.He stated the way to get on the State's five- year plan is to get the Transportation Board sympathetic to the problem. Mr.Broman said he has been advised that the State is limited in what they can do because they don't have the budgeted funds for the study,the plans,and the engineering that was not on the five-year plan.He added that i f the City is to take no action on the median crossing and work toward having the entire REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 3,1980 PAGE FIVE interchange modified and the City was lucky and got on the plan next year,by the time the City gets through the engineering and then allocates the money for construction a minimum of two or three years will pass before anything is done at all. Councilman Damiano stated the City of Apache Junction has an emergency and needs to have something done now;the City cannot wait for twenty years. Director of Public Works Richard Broman stated the Department of Transportation suggested that the Transportation Board be invited to Apache Junction so the public can address the Transportation Board to see what can be done to expedite solutions to these problems. Mayor Seeman asked i f the City should accept the recommendations from the Arizona Department of Transportation for a temporary solution;she said the temporary solution will not solve the problem and asked i f the City should settle for an interim solution or should i t go all the way to get what the citizens actually need - -street lights-, bike crossings,etc.The Mayor stated she felt the City should be given priority treatment and the Council should meet with the State officials in an attempt to address the problem. Mr.Broman stated he did not feel he could answer for the State --the City has coordinated with them,they have answered questions and in that regard their comment was that this is a temporary measure.He stated the City needs to meet with the Trans- portation Board and get some of the top-level administrators and work closely with them.He stated that the State has been a little reluctant in the area, -that possibly within the State there may have been some other priorities but now that the City is here there is the opportunity,as a governmental agency, to coordinate directly with them and get the money and benefits down here where the City knows they are needed. Vice Mayor Granillo stated he thought the City has probably been dealing with the lower echelon. He asked i f the Council,as a group,could meet with the head of the department, or the person who could say yes or no,rather than the people who can only make a recommendation to someone else. Mr.Broman stated the people he has been working with from the Transportation Department have been working very closely with him,however,they are limited in what they can do.He added the State is so large there are certain procedures and formalities that must be followed and i t is a matter of finding out what the rules of the game are and working as best the City and State can together to reach the goal. Vice Mayor Granillo commended Mr.Broman for the wonderful job he is doing in pubic works. Chief McDaniels stated that as Director of Public Safety he would have to recommend that some temporary measure be taken now to alleviate a lot of the injuries and accidents that are occurring. Mayor Seeman reviewed the three options placed before the Council. Councilman Eidson asked how long it would take to work with these temporary options. Director of Public Works Richard Broman stated he did not have the answers but he thought it would-be done within 60 to 90 days,although he does not know i f there could be any action sooner.He stated he would check with the State.

PAYMENT FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TENNIS COURTS/BALLFIELD/PARKING LOT )Mayor Seeman stated this item pertains to the joint project between the City and the School District. City Clerk Rich Oesterle stated he would be glad to answer any questions and that he had attempted to cover some of the items in the memorandum that the Council has received.He stated i t is an item that is not part of that grant but is an expected cost under any type of construction project of this nature.He added the architectural services of James Flynn and Associates have been involved in the project since the inception of the concept of the intergovernmental agreement between the School and the City to share expenses which was approved in August 1980 and the firm has completed the work up to the amount of the bill that was received.The City's fifty percent share of that cost is approximately $6500.00 Councilman Eidson MOVED THAT BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION,ARIZONA,THAT PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $6568.65 FROM ACCOUNT NO. 1.0945,FISCAL YEAR 1980-81 BUDGET,TO JAMES FLYNN & ASSOCIATES FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES BE,AND HEREBY IS,APPROVED.
