I'm going to call to order the Fountain Hills Strategic Planning Advisory Commission meeting for November 20th, 2024. Welcome, everyone. We're going to start off -- I'm going to ask Angela if you can do the roll call, please. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Thank you. Chair Garman? CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Here. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Vice Chair Yazzetta? YAZZETTA: Here. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Commissioner Hoenle? HOENLE: Here. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Commissioner Smith? SMITH: Here. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: And for the record, Commissioner Crader will not be here today, and Commissioner Reyes is not here at the moment. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: But -- PADGETT-ESPIRITU: We have a quorum (indiscernible). CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thank you. That's what I was -- yeah, that's where I was headed. All right. So we do have a quorum. I don't see anybody as far as a Call to the Public. We're on agenda item 3. Is there anything submitted? PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Correct. No, we do not. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. Thank you. And as we go to agenda item 4 on our agenda, before we go to the Commissioners and Regional Town Manager, I did want to let everybody know upfront that the Council needs this room, and we need to vacate by 1640 or 4:40. So feel free to bring up stuff, but we need to keep the -- keep the wheels moving today so that we can get out of here on time. All right. Thank you. So I'm going to start -- Rachael, do you have anything you wanted to relay? GOODWIN: No, I don't have any specific updates for the group. And again, in the essence of time, if there's questions or something I can answer, happy to, but no real report today. Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 3 of 22 CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. Thank you. Paul? SMITH: I got back off vacation on Sunday, and I'm still in the mode. No, I really don't have anything to -- I was looking forward to hearing from the members of the Town, so -- CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thanks. Bernie? HOENLE: No. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Nothing? Geoff? YAZZETTA: Nothing to report. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Nothing to report? All right. And I'm going to save my comments, hopefully, if we have a little bit of time, when we get down to the -- later on in the meeting at the end. So Angela, we wanted to go to agenda item 4, the Consideration and Possible Action for the approval of the minutes all the way back to the -- Joe, better late than never. We were just finishing up on reports from the Commissioners. Did you have anything you wanted to talk about or relay? REYES: No. I'm good. Thank you. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: You're good? All right. Thanks. Okay. Back to the approval of the minutes in the regular meeting from way back in September. All right. So hopefully, everybody got a chance to read the minutes. I know I did. So first, I'm going to open up. Is there any discussion about the minutes in general in September? No. I see a lot of head nods. Any motions -- entertaining of the motions for the approval of minutes? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I make a motion that we accept the minutes. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thank you. Is there a second? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Second. Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 4 of 22 CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. Before we vote, we open up for discussion again. Anybody have any points that they wanted to talk about as far as the approval? I do want to make sure that I thank Angela for the minutes. I read through them. And it wasn't just a verbatim. There's parts in there that are -- the parts that you did are great, so thank you very much for all the hard work you do for that. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: You're welcome. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. So we have a motion on the table to approve the meeting minutes from September 25th. Okay. So we're going to go on to a vote. All in favor of approval say aye. ALL: Aye. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. Any opposed? Sounds unanimous. They're approved. All right. Thank you very much. All right. I'm going to move on to agenda item 6 now, which is an update from our 2002 (sic) Fountain Hills Strategic Plan, and we're going to talk, from the Town, on implementation. Mr. Snipes, Kevin, our Community Service Director, is here to give us a presentation. Thanks very much for attending today. And the floor is yours. SNIPES: Certainly. Thanks for having me. I don't know why you're only giving me forty minutes. I do have a problem when I start talking about our Community Service Department because I am very partial to our group and what we do. So what I thought I would do is kind of go through a presentation here and talk about we just became the second largest division within the town since fire came on, which they steal all the thunder. This is our Community Services team. So with our special events and what all we provide for the town, it brings in a lot of people from outside the town to come up to see our major events that we host for the Music Fest, Turkey Trot, Irish Fest, and Fourth at the Fountain. We range anywhere from -- our smallest of those is probably 3,000 up to 15,000 people that are involved with them, and they've been growing each year since I've been here, pretty much, so they've done really well. Our external events have also done really well with our Festival of Arts & Crafts. Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 5 of 22 Concours in the Hills has grown -- I think it was 200 when I started. Now, we're at about 1,200 cars that are involved in that. And I don't want them to go any bigger than that unless they want to start moving up the avenue. It's just too much for the park to handle. And I -- it is my favorite event in case anyone is wondering. I'm a car guy. Our partnership events have also done really well, and each one of those have grown in popularity, and we get plenty of publicity on those as well on the news and things like that that really helps out getting our word out from the Town. Go ahead. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Do you mind if I ask questions during -- SNIPES: No, absolutely. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- or do we save them all? Going back to the last slide, can you explain the difference between internal, external, and partnership? SNIPES: Absolutely. So the internal events are the ones that are run by Town staff. The external events are run by outside promoters to run. And then the partnership events are ones that we work with groups, so they're advertised by the Town. We take on some of the responsibilities along with them. So it's more of a group. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So the external is, like, 100 percent external? SNIPES: Yes. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Like the Chamber? SNIPES: Yeah. Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. All right. Thanks. SNIPES: Certainly. Here's a list of all of our -- well, a majority of our youth sports activities, youth and teen. These have really taken off. Our Recreation Department over the years has really started to figure out where we've struggled getting people to sign up for events and classes and things like that. I can remember a time where we were more shocked if something went than if it didn't go, and now, it's just the opposite. We have a really good success rate as far as when we put on things, people know that they're of high Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 6 of 22 quality, and by them being high quality, we get a lot of return, and then they tell two friends, and they tell two friends. The next thing you know, we got a legit event going on, a class going on, activities going on. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So is the -- like, Little League and the soccer, that's run by the -- by the Town, by you? SNIPES: So those are our youth sports organizations that we work with. We partner with them on their -- and they run them. We just are a partner, and they have free field use, and our Park Department helps with the maintenance and setting up of their things. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Where does the baseball -- you know, the tournaments that go on over in Golden Eagle Park, are those administered out of your division as well or supported? SNIPES: Yes, absolutely. Yeah. So we are the host for it. There's promoters that run the events. And we're typically bringing in somewhere in the -- 75 to $100,000 a year in revenue. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: They turn a big profit on those. SNIPES: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks. SNIPES: Yeah. And we're just in the process, actually, of signing up to have concessions run for all of those events as well. Our local Elks is partnering with us to set up to where that we'll actually have the concession stand open, and then they'll be donating that money to local sports youth team type activities and scholarships, which I think is really cool. I'm excited about it. That's the first time we've been able to pull that off, and we've tried lots of times. So here's a bunch of our senior programs. I think it's really neat, some of the things that have gone on. We had a speaker come in to talk to some veterans, and during that discussion, it was learned that there was a calling for a veteran support group, and so our staff got hold of that and have started running that, and we've had several meetings of veterans helping veterans, and it's gone over really well, and I just think that's a -- Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 7 of 22 that's a tribute to the staff listening to what's going on and going, hey, why can't we do that, you know, and then -- and then it actually becoming something that has a continual help for our residents. There's a -- and this is another area where we've grown dramatically is our -- is our Community Center and the classes that we're running. We're now running day and night classes, which we -- the Community Center years ago was this random hours -- it was really strange the way it was run. And several years ago now, Rachael got with our manager over there, and we set specific hours every day of the week so that you knew when you came, it would either be open or not. We had the problem of people coming up to the door and the door not opening. That's never the way you want your Community Center to be. You want them to know when it's supposed to be open and when it's supposed to be closed. And with that has opened up a lot of different uses for the Community Center, and we're now struggling with having enough rooms in the Community Center, both day and night, which is a lot of fun to see. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Where's the Community Center fit in our town government? Like, it's not under Parks and Rec, right? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (Indiscernible). CHAIRMAN GARMAN: It is? SNIPES: It's under Community Services. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: It is? SNIPES: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So the orchestration -- the running of the Community Center is under your division? SNIPES: It is. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: That's cool. SNIPES: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: I learned something. Okay. SNIPES: Yeah, it's -- we're a big division, and we like to say we're -- and Rach kind of coined this phrase. We're all -- we're all things to all people, and it's what I love about it, Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 8 of 22 is that we touch everybody from the little littles all the way up to our seniors, and it just makes it to where that we're involved with a little bit of everything from kids to grandparents to everybody in between, so trying to hit that niche makes it interesting, too, because we want to be all things to all people as well, so. Here's some of our Community Center events that we've been hosting. They -- again, they've been getting a lot more publicity, a lot more promoters wanting to come in and work with us. We did a bump-up of our fees a few years ago now, and everybody was up in arms, and we're proving that that wasn't the issue. There -- we're booked and -- couple years out on a lot of weekends of times when people want it. The staff over there does a knockout job of setting up the rooms and making sure that they're perfect. People don't understand what all goes into that. They're out there with tape measurers measuring distance -- measuring distances between chairs and making sure that they have proper ADA compliance and fire compliance and all that kind of stuff everybody gets to overlook except for them, so -- and it's something that I keep learning about every time I go over there. You know, you see something new of how they're setting up what they can and can't do and why, and they just do a fantastic job of making the place warm and welcoming to all people that come in. It's a very interesting area as well just because we don't have a rec center, so oftentimes, out Community Center becomes a rec center, and then it has to switch back to being a community center, so it's a dance of what things you can and can't do. GOODWIN: Yeah, I was going to piggyback on that, Kevin. You're absolutely right. The Community Center is -- it's kind of Grand Central Station for our town. It's a rec center, it's a community center, it's a senior center, it's an event venue, it's a performance hall. You know, it's a -- it is so much to so many people to go in to -- you play Bridge in the morning, and then you're back for a luncheon and -- you know, and then you may be back for a meeting in the evening, and then that weekend, you may be there for a wedding. So it serves so many purposes. And he's right. The staff over there do a fantastic job of trying to balance all of those different needs and the demands of that space, and a lot of that you've probably heard Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 9 of 22 and seen about the maintenance of the building and, you know, some of the upgrades and the renovations we've done over there. When you recognize that that facility sees -- I don't even remember how many people a year. SNIPES: Oh -- GOODWIN: Like, 70,000 people a year or something -- SNIPES: Yeah. Even 75, yeah. GOODWIN: -- through those doors, and you kind of go, oh, yeah, I guess it was time to have new carpet, or oh, yeah, I guess it was time to repaint. It's phenomenal when you really put it all together. SNIPES: Yeah. And I'll say that I was fortunate enough -- here recently, I invited directors from around the state to come and see some things in our parks, and we did lunch at the Community Center, and when they walked in, the number of wows that happened when they walked in the door was really impressive because we just think of it as it's just our community center is what we do. I mean, like, this looks amazing and very welcoming, and there was a lot of comments of, we need to bring our community center people over to see yours, and I thought, that's the utmost compliment is we want our stuff to be like your stuff, and so it was just neat to get that feedback from -- we had 15 different communities that came out, and it was an overwhelming shock and awe when we walked into that building, so says that we did the right thing when we did remodel and that it does what it was supposed to do: make you feel welcome. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Are there designs to build a rec center at some point? And if so, do we have space for it? SNIPES: That's a great -- I mean, yes. I, 100 percent, all the time have designs to build one, but it all comes down to funding is really where it comes at. We would love to have one. You know, we've talked tons of times about different locations that we think we could pull it off at, and then it just turns into does the dollars make sense, and so far, they haven't, so -- CHAIRMAN GARMAN: And how long has this growth phase occurred at the Community Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 10 of 22 Center? Because it seems like you guys have reached, like, peak capacity. I'm in there a few times a week for meetings, and there's something going on in every room all the time, morning, afternoon, evening. How long did it take to get to this point? SNIPES: That's a great question. I would say when -- I started in '16, and it wasn't very well used. It just -- the space wasn't maximized. Rach can speak to it more, probably. She was here the year before I was. GOODWIN: I mean, I think it's been sort of a slow uphill climb because of the way the building is used and because of the different demands on it. We've taken sort of these incremental changes over time to do a massive reorg, and a massive reset would have been probably too shocking to the community, and we really do need the community to buy into how that building is operated and run, so it's been a combination of feedback from the staff that are over there day in and day out, feedback from the community of what they like and what they'd like to see, and then recommendations through best practices and small tweaks. So you heard Kevin talk about the hours. We adjusted hours, then we adjusted some of the staffing and responsibilities so that it wasn't -- you know, there wasn't too many things on one person's shoulders, then we talked about, okay, how do we start integrating more youth and multi-uses so that it's not so much a senior feel to the facility, right? So we've taken them bit by bit. So I mean, I would tell you it probably has been a six-to-eight-year, very slow upward trajectory to get to where we are today. SNIPES: I think, you know, one of the things -- Rachael and I started close together when we -- when we started here, and we wanted about four million changes, and we realized that we should probably do one at a time. Change makes people nervous, and so you got to build some trust and get things moving in the right direction, and once they see what you're -- once they see your vision, a lot of times, they come around. And that's kind of been what we've noticed is the more we get those changes put into place, the more people buy in, the more they go, oh, that is possible, we never thought it was. And so that's been a lot of fun seeing that change in mentality of -- even when Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 11 of 22 we remodeled the Community Center, there was a lot of people that said, it doesn't need it, it's fine, there's no reason to change it, and then when it got done, it was, well, maybe it did need it, you know, and you have a little different feel once you see what the vision was to do, so -- CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Sure. Thank you. SNIPES: Certainly. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: One quick one, Kevin. Are there any plans to make the kitchen area one that you can cook in instead of just keep things warm? SNIPES: We've talked about that, I don't know, a couple hundred thousand times, and the realistic answer to that is it doesn't make sense for the Community Center to have a cooking kitchen in it with the staffing that we have and the ability and the cost to convert it. It just doesn't. It won't bring the revenue the way that it -- to justify being that way. It increases a lot of the inspections that have to be done. The level of care that would have to be done in that kitchen would be a lot greater, and there just isn't the staffing, the ability. And the people that are using it now wouldn't be able to use it the same way that they're using it, either. So I think there was -- there's been a lot of -- we looked into it and done the -- ran the numbers on it multiple times over the last four or five years. It's been a really hot topic. And each time we have, we haven't been able to make it make sense for the Community Center. So we are working on some things right now where we're working -- we just did some contracts for preferred vendors, and it's a new thing that we're trying out to try and get people to where that they have vendors that are recognized by the Community Center as being good vendors to work with as well as that take care of the Community Center and having it have a different rate. We're working through those right now to where that we can kind of help people a little bit because that's always the thing -- when they come in and they want to use it, they want to know who's good, who's not, and at least if we have a list of preferred vendors that offer a wide-ranging scale, then we know that we have people that are taking care of the place, and that's what makes them preferred, Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 12 of 22 and then the users can choose what type of food they would like. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So Kevin, I'm sorry to keep extending this. I'm looking over your shoulder at the clock, but it's interesting. I have two questions. One is, is the Discovery Center -- Discovery Center, right? SNIPES: Um-hum. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Discovery Center. Is it going to affect access or anything to the Community Center? Is it affecting the Community Center at all? SNIPES: I hope it heightens the use of the Community Center. I mean, I think that there's great possibilities of them being hand in hand where you bring a group to the Discovery Center, and then you want to run out and have lunch at the -- our Community Center. I think that could absolutely work out. I think that they'll probably have events there where they want to use the Centennial Circle, and so that plays into it. You know, I think we'll be learning as we go, but we see it as a positive. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: And the infrastructure that is under your division, is the different infrastructures within the Town separated in different divisions, or is all the infrastructure put together? Does it depend on the infrastructure? And I'll give you an example. So Parks and Rec, is the -- is the lake liner discussions under you? SNIPES: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Are you the one that has to make -- SNIPES: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. So that's what I was getting at. So all that infrastructure is part of Parks and Rec that you have to juggle and plan for? SNIPES: Absolutely. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. SNIPES: Yeah, it's a high-wire juggling act. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Yeah. All right. That was my question. Thanks. SNIPES: Um-hum. Our volunteers -- I don't think you'll see a better group of volunteers anywhere. We're -- you know, we just got done doing our Make a Difference Day, and we had 400 people that participated with 40 different projects, 37 residential and three Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 13 of 22 town and school projects. This is the first year that I got to be on the back -- on the -- on the early stages of going out and figuring out what places needed and seeing that. I've always been on the tail end where we're -- where the park guys and myself would go out and clean up the piles at the end. So we saw what all was done, but we didn't see how it was done or what it looked like before, and so getting to see that this year and seeing how much time and effort's put into planning out the day and, you know, the months of a committee getting everything together and making sure everybody -- we have the right people at the right places that can actually do the work that needs to be done as well as making sure that it's not too much work on any individual group because we want you to come back next year, and all those things play in, and I just think it's a really neat event. Our Care Cards are one that I think is super cool. They do -- they do it on -- I think it's the first Wednesday of every month. They come in and do some kind of a craft, and then they do Care Cards as well, and then those go out to our home delivery meal people to let them know that there are people thinking about them, and they get a little something extra with their home delivery meals. And our home delivery meals are doing about 500 meals a month, so -- and it's 100 percent volunteer-based. It -- that, to me, is a -- we haven't missed anyone in a very, very, very long time, so -- and that's -- talk about a juggling act. That's a serious juggling act, making sure that we have all the volunteers where we need them to be and getting the meals and getting them out and getting delivered. A lot of times, that's the only person that the people getting the meals will get to see, and so they're super excited to see them, and everybody gets to know everybody, and it's just a -- it's a really neat program as well. Any questions on our volunteer stuff? Our commissions and partnerships. You know, we have our Community Services Advisor Commission that works with all of our parks and Community Center and helps us out there. We just completed the McDowell Mountain Preserve Commission, and so now, that's kind of stepped into -- the Sonoran Conservancy has kind of taken on that role, which just makes it to where it's a little bit cleaner and a little bit easier for them. Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 14 of 22 We ran into all kinds of problems with four people being in the same spot causing a quorum, and so with them being in the Sonoran Conservancy, it makes it to where that's no longer a thing. And some of our most important people in that were also on our McDowell Mountain Preserve, so a lot of times, they would find themselves in the same spot. So that's worked out really good. They do so much work for the town. Talk about a volunteer group. That's Sonoran Conservancy. It's very impressive in all they do for us. Any questions on any of this? No? Then there's our park facilities. Our total acreage is 135.2 acres. We currently have six staff that are taking care of all of this. We do contract out our mowing and our large tree trimming. Other than that, everything that needs to be is done in-house. This is a powerhouse team. I am partial to them because I was over them for seven, eight years, and still now. But I just -- I can't say enough about this group. These guys, they -- I always say they treat it like it's their backyard, which is fantastic, except for every once in a while because they do treat it like it's their backyard, but they care so much. There's -- you know, they'll be here on the weekends picking up trash while they're walking around the park that they work at throughout the week just because it's in their nature. You know, it's just the way they are. They truly care about it. I haven't ever had the privilege of working with a group that cares as much about what they do as the group that's out there doing that on a daily basis. Here are some things that we've done here recently. Fountain Park. We put in the large shade structure up by -- near Euro Pizza with 17 picnic tables around it, which I think is just going to be an awesome area. We've gotten tons of compliments on it since it went in. People are just starting to try and figure out how they can use it, what they can do. We did make it so it was reservable as the entire unit only, so you either reserve it all or nothing, because I wanted it to be able to be used by different groups throughout the day, and I didn't want someone to just take it unless they take the whole thing. And so I have a feeling that the businesses that are up there will start to figure out that Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 15 of 22 they can do an extension of premises with it, extend their liquor license out and be able to rope it off easy enough. Makes it super easy to do outdoor concerts and things like that. And our department's still figuring out exactly what all we can do. We've used it for several things, but it's what else can we do with it, you know. And the parents that are around that splash pad absolutely love it. We think it'll really help the businesses up there, like Froyo (sic). They have such a small interior that it just gives them a huge extension of take your food and go outside and sit outside. 90 percent of the year, that's fantastic, you know. So I think it was a real asset to that area. We just relandscaped the amphitheater area. We've lighted the playgrounds now, which is something that had been called for since I started here, and we just hadn't been able to pull it off, and we finally got that done. It's a -- Fountain Park is a unique beast. It just is. There are so many people that come there on a daily basis. It's not like most of your other parks that you'll find anywhere. It just is always busy. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So I'm sorry. We got, like, a few more minutes, but I -- SNIPES: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- I want to get this question on the record. GOODWIN: So we -- SNIPES: Just so you know, if we run out of time, I am happy to come back. GOODWIN: I was going to say, we may want to just reschedule as a part two and have you resume. SNIPES: I don't have any problem with that at all. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: That's -- but I got to ask this question first -- SNIPES: Absolutely. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- while we're here because I'll forget it. It is, is the amphitheater reserved and a go for graduation this year for the high school again? SNIPES: I haven't heard anything on if they've reserved that yet or not. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (Indiscernible). SNIPES: Yeah, they always have, but I know why you're asking. You ask because there's been talk that they're not going to. I don't -- I haven't seen anything come through yet, Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 16 of 22 so I don't know. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (Indiscernible). GOODWIN: (Indiscernible). CHAIRMAN GARMAN: I know there's -- I know -- there's a cost to that, I know, but the Town and the school district would be able to work together to make that the reality, right? I know the school looks forward -- well, the kids and the parents look forward to that -- SNIPES: Um-hum. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- so hopefully, the adults can come together. SNIPES: Yeah, I haven't heard anything -- I mean -- GOODWIN: My neighbor. SNIPES: I don't know. I just -- I just heard through the grapevine that they were talking about not doing it here next year and doing it over at the stadium, but I haven't heard that from -- GOODWIN: Just -- SNIPES: -- reliable sources, just through the grapevine at some point once that -- GOODWIN: I'll just throw it out there that there isn't a fee. SNIPES: Yeah, we don't charge -- GOODWIN: We don't charge the school. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: That is not what I've heard. GOODWIN: We charge a deposit -- CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Yeah. GOODWIN: -- so when it's not cleaned up afterwards, but for usage, we have an IGA. We have an Intergovernmental Agreement that allows them to use the space. SNIPES: So it's not these adults. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Well, that's not -- UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I can check on it later. SNIPES: Yeah. Yeah. No, we work with the school on shared usage of us using theirs and them using ours, and we don't always charge each other to use it. Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 17 of 22 CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Yeah. Yeah. Needless anxiety, I guess, right, for people that are worried about that. Okay. Thank you. SNIPES: Certainly. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So do you think we could do part two? SNIPES: Absolutely. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: This is really interesting. I'm sorry to rush. SNIPES: No. I -- like I said, if there's one thing I like to do, it's talk about our department while I'm here because that's what I love. It's why I spend so much time up here. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. Yeah. Because we got to wrap it up in five hours -- five minutes. SNIPES: Can do. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thank you very much. SNIPES: You're welcome. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: But I mean, just for the record, you have an awesome division that has great reputation, of course, so -- SNIPES: Yeah, absolutely. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- it's been great all along, so thank you very much for what you do. And we look forward to hearing you -- hearing from you again -- SNIPES: Absolutely. Happy to do it. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- so (indiscernible) schedule. SNIPES: Thank you. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. Thank you. Okay. All right. Angela, I was thinking that we could go and, right now, skip agenda item 7 and go straight to number 8 so we could, in the short time we have left -- PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Okay. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- plan for next year, right? PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Yeah. Okay. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. So we're going to skip to agenda item number 8, which is for Consideration and Possible Action, which is our proposed meeting dates for Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 18 of 22 next year for this commission. Want to know if -- first of all, hopefully, everybody got a chance to read -- they were in the minutes. I think there -- the -- some of the dates, the days are different, but it was -- July and December were the nonmeeting months, and we would have meetings on those -- on the other months. So just like this year. Just remember, for those of you that might be new, we do -- we can change -- you know, we can have different meeting months during the year. Sometimes we've done all 12 months, sometimes we've only taken December off, sometimes we've taken a couple months off in the summer, so there's precedent for everything if anybody wanted to bring something up. So I'll open it real quick to see if there's any discussion on meeting dates for next year. Okay. No discussion going once, going twice. So then do I hear a motion? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Move to approve the proposed 2025 meeting dates. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thank you. Do I hear a second? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Second. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I'll second. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: We have a second to accept the proposed meeting dates as provided in our -- in our meeting prep. So that -- just to be clear for the minutes, so that means we would have -- out of the 12 months in 2025 -- oh, my gosh, 2025 -- we would not meet in July, and we would not meet in December, just to be clear. Okay. So I think, hearing no further comments, we can move on to a vote on the motion. So all those in favor of keeping the schedule like we had it in 2024 and as per our meeting prep, please say aye. ALL: Aye. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Any opposed? It was unanimous. That was easy. Did we forget anything, Angela? Is that good for the coming year? PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Oh, no, that's perfect. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: And we do need to be aware of the dates -- and I can -- I can work with you -- like for January, the meeting -- Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 19 of 22 PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: -- might be sooner in January because we're -- we play a back seat to the Council, so we need to pay attention to when the meeting dates are in January specifically. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Yeah. And I'll get -- I'll get all those dates emailed to everyone to put in their calendars as well. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Awesome. PADGETT-ESPIRITU: Yeah. Thank you. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. So I wanted to mix, now, agenda item 7 and 9, which is Commission Workgroups with Geoff and I, and then -- excuse me, and number 10 on the agenda, which is Comments From the Chairman, and this is Geoff and I talking about our outlook for next year, but specifically for the first six months, you know, we -- and then we take July off and we start again. So I'm going to talk a little bit, then I'll ask if you guys have comments and you want to ask me about anything. But if you remember last June, we identified the pillars -- we have five pillars in the strategic plan, so infrastructure, finance, economic development, quality of life, safety, and land use and development. So we want to go to the next level, which is the signature strategies underneath those kind of big strategic pillars in the plan, so we need to get busy on thinking of those, talking about those, and working on those specifically in the next six months because the goal, then, is in June, we have another workshop-type meeting like we had last June, and we come up with a draft of the signature strategies to go forward. All right? And then the next year, then we would finalize the plan by adding in the -- kind of the tasks underneath the signature strategies and the timelines that go into it. So that's the goal between now and June. We have -- this is a thought I had. We have two ways that Geoff and I talked about. One is we have five -- excuse me, six meeting dates, so January through June. I was going to dedicate each meeting to a specific pillar. So we maybe come back in January and we talk about infrastructure; and in February, we talk about finance; March, economic development; April, quality of life and safety; May, land use development; Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 20 of 22 June, we wrap it all together. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: That's a good plan. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: That is a -- yeah, that is -- and then -- and that's one track. The other track that happens simultaneously is Geoff -- we had success last year in Open House. Open House. We had one. And Geoff had talked to me about the potential that he thought he could pull off having two open houses in the winter-spring time frame that would add data to what we were talking about during that time. So those two tracks would be, one, dedicating a meeting to each one of these big topics, and then also supporting and planning and implementing a couple open houses during the next winter and the spring. Geoff, did you have anything to add to that part? You thought I covered it well, huh? YAZZETTA: You covered it well. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: All right. Any discussions on that? We're not taking a vote or anything on this. I just wanted to see if you guys had any comments. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I think it's a good plan. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: So perfect, nobody has any comments? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I like -- I like both of those going in the directions (indiscernible). CHAIRMAN GARMAN: You've been around a while, Bernie. HOENLE: Yeah. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: I mean on the -- on the commission. On the earth, too, but I mean the commission. HOENLE: Yeah. I mean, the big thing is getting community involvement along the way, so that's perfect as far as the concepts and what we're doing, so got my vote. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. So you all -- I will be communicating with everyone through Angela to be prepared for each one of those meetings on the big topic. I'll try to bring, you know, maybe speakers and data to the meeting, and then we can hash it out. SMITH: I think it's a wonderful plan, actually. Town of Fountain Hills NOVEMBER 20, 2024 STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES Page 21 of 22 CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thanks, Paul. SMITH: It's well-organized, and that's -- we're not -- we won't be jumping around. We will focus. And that's probably the most important part of it. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Okay. So I'll work with Geoff and Angela, and we'll get that information out to you all to plan for the next six months. Okay. So that was Workgroups, agenda item 7. That was Consideration. We did the calendar for next year. We did 9, which is Discussion and Possible Action on Future Agenda Topics, and those were my comments as well. How about that. Okay. Before we adjourn the meeting, does anybody else have any comments they wanted to make about today's meeting or the future? No? Is there a motion to adjourn the meeting? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: We want to stay. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: No motion? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I could sit here the rest of the day. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Move to adjourn. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Nobody wants to leave. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Move to adjourn. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Can I have a second? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Second. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Thank you. All in favor of adjourning the meeting say aye. ALL: Aye. CHAIRMAN GARMAN: Any opposed? Thank you all very much for the short meeting. You guys have a good rest of the month. And Happy Holidays, too. Thanks.
