MOVED BY Commissioner Craig Rudolphy, SECONDED BY Commissioner Rory Wilson
Vote: 6 - 0 - Unanimously
5.UPDATE: CSAC Commissioners Follow-up on Observed Areas Lacking Walkability
5.UPDATE: CSAC Commissioners Follow-up on Observed Areas Lacking Walkability
Ms. Goodwin reminded the commissioners of the summer project results that were
shared by Chair Varela and Commissioner Barnes at the September meeting and at the
end of the conversation there was a request to follow-up for commissioners to identify
other areas that had gaps in walkability. It was discussed to locate what the priority
areas were to focus on.
Ms. Goodwin informed the commissioners that on November 9, a community feedback
meeting about sidewalk infill would be held. There are funds to start infilling some
sidewalks and address where there are gaps. As a commission, it is important to have a
voice there that says, Hey, these are the areas the commission has identified as being
needed.
Chair Varela shared that the span between Fountain Hills Boulevard and Pepperwood
near the Sanitary District, also had a gap. Ms. Goodwin asked to consider focusing on
how people get from their homes to the parks, and whatever park is closest, can you
walk from your house to your park? Can you ride your bike there? Can you cross the
street safely at a crosswalk?
Commissioner Wilson asked when the meeting will be and Ms. Goodwin shared it will
take place on November at the Community Center at 4 PM -7 PM with ADOT Federal
Grant between the Palisades and Saguero Project to begin in summer of 2023 and
completion in 2024. Commissioner Rudulphy requested a map to to review the infill
projects.
6.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Review of Skate Park Renovation Project
MOVED BY Commissioner Craig Rudolphy, SECONDED BY Commissioner Stephen
Barnes Chair Varela asked for a Motion in support of the Skatepark renovation and
expansion of the FH Skatepark . Commissioner Rudolphy moved to approve the
renderings and support of the project by the Community Services Advisory Commission.
Vote: 6 - 0 - Unanimously
Ms. Goodwin is looking for a vote from CSAC approving the newly shared renderings of
the skate park project that will be presented to the Town Council at the November
meeting. The skate park is 15-20 years old and in a bit of need for repairs, with concrete
crumbling. It was built in phases, but Phase 2 was never built for upkeep repairs. A
popular amenity to add is a pump track with multiple elements for all users. There was a
lot of support from two different skating groups.
Commissioner Wilson asked if the pump track was dirt and Ms. Goodwin stated the dirt
track takes more maintenance in the long term and has erosion concerns. Chair Varela
asked if there had been any opposition and Ms. Goodwin informed the commission that
it had more support than anticipated.
7.UPDATE: Fountain Controller App
Ms. Goodwin provided an update on the Fountain internet control app at the Pumphouse
that has been 20 years in the making. Technology and the internet are now available to
run the fountain remotely by phone. Data on wind speed, and which pumps are working
and emergency issues will now be able to be reviewed and regulated through the app.
Manual controls were the only option available in the past. Parks Superintendent., Kevin
Snipes is the admin and IT is the master. Ms. Goodwin and Mr. Snipes have the log in
and Ms. Goodwin confirmed it very sercured when asked by Commissioner Peddi.
8.UPDATE: Community Center Mold Issue
Ms. Goodwin informed the commissioners of the extensive water leaking at the
community center and how long it had been going on. Last summer, the renovation did
not see the extent of the leak until after the rains. In December, they decided to
remediate and fix the leak. The drywall was getting wet during these rainstorms. We
were talking about remediating and testing for mold and an air quality test was done and
came back fine and then they tested behind the wall and samples showed evidence of
mold and must fix the problem. On Veteran's Day weekend, they will be removing the
walls and remediate the mold and test again and if test is clear they will put it back
together.
Chair Varela asked where the area of mold is in the lobby and what windows are in need
of repair. The building sits 4 inches below grade, the seals around the windows are
cracked and dry rotted. The Community Center is closed for the fair weekend and we
are using that time to do repairs. Once the walls are open and the mold is remediated,
the facility must be closed until it is retested.
Commissioner Wilson, how much will this cost? Ms. Goodwin informed the
commissioners that this was not known. Operations administer the programs but the
facilities take care of all the buildings in Town. If a window breaks, or AC needs to be
repaired that is Justin Weldy's staff overseeing the project. The question will be how bad
it is and may be broken down into phases.
Commissioner Rudolphy informed the commissioners that the town has a facilities
replacement fund. The Community Center is 20 years old so its not something that
would be considered normal routine maintenance and could become a capital
improvement project that would receive dedicated funds.
Commissioner Barnes asked why it took so long to identify this problem and who is
accountable. Ms. Goodwin, stated they did not know how big the problem was until this
year's monsoons. The drainage by the front doors was taken care of during the
remodeling last year, but the problems became much bigger when they realized how big
the issue was. This agenda item will remain on future agendas for updates.
9.REVIEW AND DISCUSSION: Town of Fountain Hills Dementia Friendly Designation
The Town of Fountain Hills is working towards becoming the tenth Dementia Friendly
community in the State of Arizona with support from the Mayor and council members. A
growing problem for all of America and setting in earlier identifying the need for support
for caregivers and those with dementia. A task force has been developed with a
number of stakeholders in the community including a local realtor, crisis response,
healthcare, Morningstar, and Encore.
The meetings will be held monthly on the second Monday at 10:30 am. Chair Varela
asked if doctors were contacted for their input and Ms. Goodwin confirmed notification of
this task force was sent out but had not received a response from a medical facility.
Additional partners who will be sought after for support will be in banking and an attorney
with elder law.
Commissioner Peddi asked about Banner's involvement and Ms. Lopuszanski shared
that the Dementia Friendly America state liaison Janice Greeno was from Banner and
her resources will be affiliated with them as the guide for Dementia Friendly
Community. No funding is set aside but when an initiative is put out for an awareness
event, we will have to look at grants.
Oakwood Center is a dedicated adult daycare facility in Mesa where those with different
stages of dementia have a safe place to go to while their caregivers take care of things
for themselves. There is a balance of resources and model after them to bring
awareness of the quality of life. Chair Varela, asked if there was a cost involved for
families and Ms. Goodwin shared that there is a charge and that currently a member of
the task force has her loved one attend there daily.
Commissioner Wilson shared that she attended the Fountain Hills Cares event when
they did a presentation on dementia and thought it was great. She shared she has had
family members that had dementia and it touched her personally. She supported
Fountain Hills, seeking to become designated as a dementia-friendly community and
also willing to go to the meetings. This agenda item will be updated monthly as the task
force works towards completing the designation process.
10.REVIEW AND DISCUSSION: Orientation Manual for Commissioners
Ms. Lopuszanski reminded the commissioners of the September presentation from
Linda Mendenhall, Town Clerk. It was determined that there was more information
needed to put in the orientation manual specifically for boards and commissions. The
goal is to have the manual completed for everybody after the holidays.
11.UPDATE: Special Events
Ms. Goodwin shared the listing of upcoming events with the next one being Spooky
Blast at Four Peaks Park expecting over 1000 to attend. Concerts on the Avenue will
begin on November 2 on Wednesdays until November 16. Day of Play and Touch a
Truck and Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and with a grant for marketing
billboards will draw more people out to the event. This is the only event with a revenue
component. In December is Roll in the Glow, Season's of Celebration and Noon New
Year's Celebration along with the hiking challenge.
12.UPDATE: Volunteer Opportunities and Town Events
Ms. Goodwin informed the Commissioners of upcoming events and opportunities to
volunteer for Spooky Blast and the Turkey Trot.
13.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION: Future Agenda Items
Ms. Goodwin informed the Commissioners that the future agenda item gives them the
opportunity to learn more about something they are interested in to talk about as a
group at a future meeting. Ms. Goodwin recommended resuming the conversation about
scheduling onsite visits and putting them on the next agenda. Commissioner Wilson
suggested touring Golden Eagle Park.
Commissioner Rudolphy suggested having the finance director come and talk about the
different pots of money. Ms. Goodwin confirmed that can be done as it coincides with
budget season.
Ms.Goodwin added that Golden Eagle Park lights had just been upgraded and
renovations approved at the last Town Council meeting for almost $2 million. The lights
are 25 years old and repairs were becoming very costly, with over $50,000 paid out
since May.

Meeting minutes from the October 24, 2022 CSAC meeting were tabled due to missing from the

5.UPDATE: Sidewalk Infill Project
Ms. Goodwin informed the commissioners that there was a sidewalk infill project going on for the
whole town and currently the priority areas identified on the map were being addressed first to
provide better accessibility and connectivity to parks. The area from Big O Tires to Tower Drive
which is the access to the crosswalk will have a sidewalk created right now with completion within
the week. A section of sidewalk will provide safe walkability for an entire pathway from Shea
Boulevard to Tower Drive to essentially Desert Vista Park on the East side of Saguero. The next
section being looked at is along Palisades connecting some of the shopping and commercial
areas.
Chair Varela asked when the area on Saguero near the Sanitary District by Pepperwood that
leads to Fountain Park would be on the infill timeline as that was an area residents were walking in
the street and those with disabilities used to get to local shopping. Ms. Goodwin shared she would
look to see where that area was on the plan.
6.UPDATE: Community Center Mold Issue
Ms. Goodwin updated the commissioners on the progress of the first round of mold mitigation at
the Community Center that was completed in November during the weekend of the fair and the
delay to open the following Monday and Tuesday due to not passing the inspection. It was
necessary to cut out dry wall all around the perimeter of the lobby and complete the mitigation
process for the removal of the mold.
An additional area had been identified in the hallway area near the men's bathroom across from
the ballrooms caused by a roof leak that is scheduled to be repaired between the holidays at the
end of December.
7.UPDATE: Town of Fountain Hills Dementia Friendly Designation
Earlier this fall Fountain Hills Cares held a meeting on the topic of dementia at which time it was

and their caregivers. The Town's Vice Mayer McMahon wanted to bring further awareness to this
issue and create a task force to help move forward for the Town of Fountain Hills to become the
10the Dementia Friendly Community in the State of Arizona.
The need to bring awareness and resources to community members, businesses, police and fire
departments and how to help those in crisis during an emergency event are some of the topics
being addressed. Chair Varela asked if it would be possible to set up a time to visit Oakwood, an
adult daycare in Mesa for those with dementia to see what that looks like and identify how a facility
like that could be brought to Fountain Hills if there was space. Ms. Goodwin shared she would
look into their hours and if a group tour could be arranged.
8.UPDATE: Scheduling Onsite Visit - Golden Eagle Park
A tour of Golden Eagle Park was of interest to all commissioners and Commissioner Rupport will
be coordinating the future scheduling by working out a date and time that works for everyone to
attend. Ms. Goodwin will coordinate with Kevin Snipes, Parks Superintendent to participate if
there are specific questions related to the park and facilities that commissioners want to learn
more about. Commissioner Rupport acknowledged that this park is a moneymaker would like to
hear more about future renovations. Commissioner Wilson asked if the history of the water issues
that have occurred at Goldend Eagle could be addressed during that tour.
9.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Future Agenda Items
Chair Varela requested that the moving of the community garden and the dark sky observatory be
added as a future agenda item and further update on the Community Center mold issue. Youth
Commissioner Peddi asked for updates on the skatepark project, which Ms. Goodwin did share
was approved by the Town Council and work would begin in late January to be completed by the
end of June. Youth Commissioner Peddi also asked if the teen takeover could be discussed at the
next CSAC meeting to gain support. Commissioner Wilson asked about benches at Four Peaks
and Golden Eagle for parents to watch their kids and for the elderly. It was requested to have the
David Pock, Finance Director attend a future CSAC meeting to explain the different buckets the
town has for different projects.
10.UPDATE: Special Events
Ms. Goodwin reviewed the fall/winter events that had occurred since the last CSAC meeting.
Turkey Trot had over 2400 runners this year, which broke last year's record. Commissioner
Rupport attended the Touch a Truck/Day of Play and shared that this event is perfect for young
and old. He also attended the last week of Concerts on the Avenue and shared that it was well
attended. Seasons of Celebration as well as Noon Year's Eve will be ending out the year of
events. Commissioner Wilson commented on the success of the Sensitive Santa event that was
geared for kids on the spectrum or sensory issues that provided a quieter setting with lower level
lighting and less stimulation.
