Vote: 7 - 0 - Unanimously
5.REPORTS BY COMMISSIONERS AND TOWN MANAGER
Commissioner Yazzetta: Want to welcome my fellow leadership classmate, Jill Keefe, to
her first official meeting, Mary and I completed an eight-week Leadership Academy course
through the FHCCA and had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people. Jill was one of
them. I think she's going to make a great addition to this commission. So welcome.
Commissioner Magazine: Finally getting out of the house today, and it went to the farmers
market, and I was looking for Jill, and I think I missed part of the farmers’ market. I went to
the upper area, which had a lot fewer vendors. So, I saw half of it. But I certainly
recommend that you go. It's every Wednesday, I think, all the way through April.
Commissioner Edman: Don't have anything but welcome, Jill. Thank you.
Vice Chair Hoenle: Nothing at this time.
Commissioner Keefe: Very much enjoyed the graduation of the Fountain Hills Leadership
Academy. I think it was a very vibrant program and is adding a lot to the community. It was
really a privilege to be a part of that. Yesterday I had an opportunity to spend an hour with
Patrick, where he onboarded me to the work of the Commission and answered some
questions, and made me comfortable with our goals and objectives. Cynthia, I participated
in the fountain hills farmers market today and the turnout of the town to support the vendors
who were brought in was truly outstanding. I know that it means a lot to the vendors from
Fountain Hills as well as those that come in. So a shameless plug for turning out for the
market and acknowledging the organizer. Betsy has just done an extraordinary job with the
work.
Commissioner Beck: Welcome, Jill. I guess I only have two things this time. I'm sort of
partially a Snowbird. I think Bashes is getting worse every year as you try to park and so
forth that people walk around. And I've noticed a couple of golf carts driving around on the
roads and so forth, which is fine. But I don't know if that's legal or not, but it's interesting.
Secondly, the Discovery Center. I have been reading up on it, and certainly, understand its
scope. And I'm not sure of its scope for our group right now, since I think it's probably in the
plan, or at least mentioned in the plan. But I'd love to get an update on that periodically so
as to see how things look.
Town Manager Miller: Welcome, Jill. We're very pleased to have you on board and it was
great to see Jill at the Know Your Government Day, as well as the others that are on the
commission that was there. I think the Leadership Academy is a great program and the
town is definitely involved because we see the benefits of that program. So that's all I have,
Mr. Chair. Thanks.
6.PRESENTATION: Arizona Alliance for Livable Communities by Kenneth Steel.
Speaker Mr. Kenneth Steel: The Arizona Alliance for Livable Communities is a
volunteer-based coalition that I've been coaching since 2015. Most of our members are
professionals that are working in planning and development, public health, community
development, sustainability, and environmental fields. We have our government toll public
health agencies like the state health department, Maricopa County Department of Public
Health, and then different foundations. In 2010, the first HIA was done in the state. Since
then, there have been a lot of other projects where this tool has been used.
It's a data-driven, community-based tool that helps to assess the health impacts of a future
policy, project, program, or proposal. There are 20 projects touching on a wide range of
topics, including affordable housing, food, parks, trails, and open-space transportation
projects. Commissioner: We want to build strong relationships with communities
throughout the state. We provide comments during a 60-day review period and then enter
into a conversation about what might be out of our reach. Some communities have also
elected to have our members sit on their technical advisory committees.
How we build our cities can affect the levels of public health either positively or negatively.
The design of the physical environment contributes to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and
asthma. By working together to afford individuals the opportunity to live healthier lives, we
can lower the impact of these diseases. Governor Ducey vetoed Prop 400 extension, so
we're all paying attention to how we can continue ration of that sales tax. Maricopa County
is unique in that it had to go through the process of going to the legislature to get
something like this on the ballot for voters.
Vision Zero, is an approach that communities throughout the world have embraced to work
toward zero deaths and zero serious injuries on our roadways. The Arizona Heritage
Alliance and its partners work to restore funds to that fund, which helped to provide funding
at the state level for historic preservation. The state parks Heritage Fund is a fund that was
initiated, I think, in 1989 or 1990. And then lost funding in 2008, during the great recession.
Questions addressed by the Commissioners:
How do you go about collaborating with the towns and cities? Do they reach out to you?
Do you reach out to them? Do you identify who's best to work with?
Mr. Steel: Folks have realized the value of the partnership and have reached out to us and
invited us to sit on technical advisory committees, or, we just check in with their planning
department. Typically, people are just open and responsive to working with us and seeing
how we can be the best partner.
7.CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Approval of the 2023 Meeting Dates of the
Strategic Planning Advisory Commission.
MOVED BY Commissioner Jill Keefe, SECONDED BY Commissioner Mary Edman to
APPROVE the 2023 meeting dates of the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission with
the exclusion of the July 26, 2023, and the December 20, 2023, meetings.
Vote: 5 - 2
NAY: Chairman Patrick Garman
Vice Chairman Bernie Hoenle
8.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Town of Fountain Hills Environmental Plan Draft.
Chairman Garman: We asked the Town to create a standalone Environmental Plan.
Director Wesley brought that to our Commission a few times already and allowed us to
review it. We are being asked to endorse this plan, so the plan would go to the Council for
them to vote on it with an endorsement from our Advisory Commission.
Director Wesley: When I came up with the initial draft, which did pull together sections of
the general plan into one document, it was easy to read and see it all. And what you have
today is this new page two titled Environmental Plan, which provides a summary of the rest
of the document. There are a couple of other minor tweaks there, updated the date on the
strategic plan, and just a few other little things that were noted.
Commissioner Keefe: With the goals, policies, and action items in the plan, how do you
envision defining and measuring success?
Director Wesley: The main tool we have is on an annual basis. We go through our
department and other town departments, and look at what those action items were. We
asked them for feedback on updates on what they have done to accomplish those things
over the last year. We put that together for an annual report to the town council. We know
there are more things here than we will really be able to get to, but it still gives us those
things to focus on. Over time, some things do not make the cut for what we are doing, and
we potentially amend the plan.
Chairman Garman: I noticed that you're talking about the salt-free treatment systems. Do
you have some specifics on that?
Director Wesley: As we develop the general plan itself, the Fountain Hills Sanitary District
in particular, was asked if this particular item should be included in the general plan. And
it's very important to them. And so, it's largely in their area to continue to work on and
encourage within the town. The language here is taken directly from what has been
adopted in the general plan. And so I don't have anything more right now than what's right
there is how that can be carried out. But I know it's come up. We've talked about it in some
of our meetings as we continue to work with development and developers on finding
alternative systems.
Town Manager Miller: We have a Joint Council Sanitary District workgroup, with our
council and the Sanitary District board. We have tried communicating with the public and
also looked at even offering rebates for people that would replace their water softener or
salt-based water softener systems with other alternative systems. Because the water is
reclaimed and is used for golf courses or Fountain Park, for instance, the quality is such
that it causes the burning of the grass and the vegetation. There are a lot of environmental
types of issues. I think it's a really good idea to have this in there. But I think it's a good
question, where did this come from? But from what we're hearing, a lot of the cities here,
because we don't have a coastal area where we could discharge into like an ocean or
what have you, a lot of that water ends up still staying here in town, and like our Fountain
Lake and Fountain Park, the salinity at it keeps getting higher concentrations, because
we're not able to draw it down and replenish it soon enough. We use it to irrigate our park
and that is one of the reasons why it's here.
Commissioner Magazine: I think you've made this so much more readable for the public
and I think you've done a really good job with that.
Commissioner Beck: I like it. I think you did a great job and really liked the summary page
and going through it. I agree you have the education for recycling and some of the
implementation would be more. But as far as this goes, I like it. And if I could jump forward
with how it's presented in the images. I like it because I think that's Fountain Hills and
you're showing pictures of Fountain Hills.
Vice Chair Hoenle: Moreover, it's getting into the detail because as you go through these
things, you look at things that are more operational than they are planning. So, like the
scorecard, we talked about that and just sort of glossed on that. So, if you come up with
any valuation, if you accomplish that like recycling, there are collection locations around
town. Some of it could be put on a map or something so that people do see it because
there are collection bins at churches, there are collection bins at schools for recycling, and
there are different things that are around. And then the other thing you touch on with solar
and Architecture and Design, but just the term renewable energy. Are you talking about an
environmental plan? That seems to be a key phrase that fits a lot of these different things.
But otherwise, I mean, it's all covered.
Commissioner Yazzetta: I like it as it is. But in the spirit of inclusivity for some of our more
elderly constituents, is this the right format? The translucent box is above the image, but
below the type. Should that be a little more opaque? So it's easier for the lettering to jump
off the page and call more attention to the lettering a little bit more like a watermark type.
Chairman Garman: the motion on the floor is to approve the environmental plan that we
asked for our Strategic Planning Advisory Commission to endorse that plan as presented
by the town. John, you have your endorsement to take this whenever you can get this up to
the council.
MOVED BY Commissioner Cynthia Magazine, SECONDED BY Commissioner Kevin
Beck to APPROVE the endorsement of the Environmental Plan to be presented to the
Town Council.
Vote: 7 - 0 - Unanimously
9.COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIRMAN
We will not be having a meeting in December; we will be having a meeting on the fourth
Wednesday in January 2023. I am working with the Chair of the McDowell Mountain
Preservation Commission for the town. He is going to come in and brief his Strategic Plan
that they have for his commission, and I'm going to brief our Strategic Plan to his
commission. So, we're looking at early January or February to get that on the agenda, and
also connecting with MCSO and Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to talk about trends in
law enforcement in the Fountain Hills area or Maricopa County. They have a Deputy that
handles that and has briefed the council before, and he said that he would come in and
brief us about trends as well. So, look forward to that in the future.
10.NEXT MEETING DATE: Wednesday, January 25, 2023.
The next meeting of the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission will be held on
Wednesday, January 25, 2023, in the Council Chambers at 4:00 p.m.

What Is shielding?
What are lumens?
What is CCT?
What are Nits?
Question #1
What Is “Shielding”?
Recessed lighting
done poorly…… and done well.
Question #2
What Are “Lumens”?
LUMENS defines the intensity of light emitted.
WATTS designates the amount of power used.
Both a 75-watt incandescent and a 12-watt LED
generate 1125 lumens.
Shielding requirements in Fountain Hills
begin at this intensity level.
