Request to Combined Special Meeting/Work Session (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION
AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Approving a Special Event Liquor License application for the Fountain Hills
VFW Post 7507 for a beer garden in conjunction with the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce Gala on
April 22, 2022.
Staff Summary (Background)
The purpose of this item is to obtain the Council's approval regarding the Special Event Liquor License
application submitted by Boris Biloskirka, representing the Fountain Hills VFW Post 7507 for submission
to the Arizona Department of Liquor. The applicant and Fountain Hills VFW are keenly aware that the
final issuance of a liquor license as well as approval to hold the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce
Gala, is contingent upon the state, county, and local ordinances and guidelines as it relates to public
health and the COVID-19 pandemic. All special event liquor license applicants are required to submit an
application and pay a $25 fee for processing. Once the fee is paid and the application is reviewed by
Town staff, the application is forwarded to the Town Council for review and consideration. After the
application is approved by Town Council, the applicant will bring the signed paperwork to the Arizona
Department of Liquor, and be issued a physical license to be displayed for the duration of the event. The
special event liquor license application was reviewed by staff for compliance with Town ordinances and
staff unanimously recommends approval of the application as submitted.

Transmittal Letter
Grady Miller, Town Manager
Honorable Mayor, Council and Residents,
I am pleased to present the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23, covering the period of July 1, 2022, to
June 30, 2023. The budget is not only a policy document, it also sets the nancial course for our community,
advancing the Town Council’s Strategic Priorities and overall vision for the Town of Fountain Hills.
The proposed overall budget for FY 2022-23 increased by $1,366,357 to $40,490,451, which includes
$23,266,912 for the General Fund. The General Fund is the primary fund for most Town operations. This
budget also includes recommendations for thirteen other funds incorporating additional personnel, capital
projects, special projects, and operating programs.
The Town of Fountain Hills is committed to continued transparency and nancial stability. The Town normally
publishes its proposed and adopted budgets in the local newspaper, Fountain Hills Insider publication,
website, as well as holds open public workshops, and provides an of cial public hearing on the budget. In
addition, this year both the proposed and adopted budgets will be presented on the Town's website using
the ClearGov budgeting platform for greater transparency and navigation.
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget serves as a scally responsible plan and a foundational basis of the Town’s
annual operations. I would like to thank the Mayor and Town Council for their guidance and support
throughout the development of this proposed budget. In addition, I would like to thank Town staff
members for their efforts and hard work in preparing this budget for the Council’s consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
Grady E. Miller
Town Manager

Fund Structure
The accounts of the Town are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
Operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets,
liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. Town resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds
based on the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The
Town of Fountain Hills appropriates all funds in its budget process.

Fund Classi cations and Descriptions
General Fund
The General Fund (Fund 100) is the primary operating fund of the Town and accounts for the resources and uses of
various Fountain Hills departments. It exists to account for the nancing of services traditionally associated with local
government. These services include police and re protection, development services (planning & zoning/building
safety/code enforcement/GIS), public works (facilities/engineering), community services (parks and
recreation/community center/senior services), general administration, and any other activity for which a special fund has
not been created. Governmental accounting requires the General Fund be used for all nancial resources except those
required to be accounted for in another fund and have designations of non-spendable, restricted, committed, assigned
or unassigned.
Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of speci c revenue sources that are legally restricted to
expenditures for speci ed purposes, designated as committed or restricted. The Town maintains the following Special
Revenue Funds:
«The Streets (HURF) Fund (Fund 200)is funded by .2% of local sales tax, State-shared revenues and transfers from the
Capital Improvement Fund. The State of Arizona taxes motor fuels and collects a variety of fees and charges relating to
the registration and operation of motor vehicles. These revenues are deposited in the Arizona Highway User Revenue
Fund (HURF) and are then distributed to the cities, towns, and counties and to the State Highway Fund. This fund may
only be used for street and highway purposes and is a restricted fund.
«The Downtown Strategy Fund (Fund 300) is a committed fund which may only be used for development of the
downtown. Revenue for this fund comes from the 20% of the .1% of local sales tax collections that have been dedicated
for this purpose.
«The Economic Development Fund (Fund 310) is a committed fund which may only be used for economic
development. Revenue for this fund comes from the 80% of the .1% of local sales tax collections that have been
dedicated for this purpose.
«The Tourism Fund (Fund 320) is a committed fund which may only be used for tourism. Revenue for this fund is
provided by a transfer from the Economic Development Fund and grant money.
«The Special Revenue/Grants Fund (Fund 400) is restricted by the terms of the individual grants or program funds
received. An example of this would be state or federal funds. These funds are to be used only for the speci c program or
programs for which the funds have been awarded and in accordance with all the grant conditions.
«The Public Art Fund (Fund 410) is funded by developer in-lieu contributions. These funds may only be used for the
maintenance of art and for the installation of this art throughout the community. This fund has a committed fund
balance.
«The Court Enhancement Fund (Fund 420)is a restricted fund which may only be used to enhance the technological,
operational and security capabilities of the Fountain Hills Municipal Court and to support the operation of the Court
collection program. Revenues are derived from court fees and bond forfeitures.
«The Environmental Fund (Fund 460)is an assigned fund which may only be used to help offset the costs of
stormwater management and air quality permit requirements as well as other environmental programs. These items
include, but are not limited to, permit fees, wash maintenance, ADWR dam inspection and maintenance, street
sweeping, storm drain cleaning and household hazardous waste disposal. Revenues are derived from the annual
environmental fee billed to Town residents.
«The Cottonwoods Maintenance District Fund (Fund 550)is a restricted fund which may only be used for maintenance
of the Cottonwoods Maintenance District. Revenues are derived from a secondary property tax.
Debt Service Funds
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 14
Debt Service Funds are established for the payment of principal and interest on bonded indebtedness. Revenues are
derived from a secondary property tax levy, and municipal property lease payments. (The 0.2% of local sales tax
previously dedicated to mountain preserve bonds has been redirected to the Highway User Revenue Fund for the
pavement management program.) Revenues are received in amounts suf cient to pay the annual debt service
payment; therefore, the fund balance will be no less than the annual debt service payment due on July 1 of the new
scal year plus an amount equal to the average annual delinquency factor based on the prior three years’ delinquency
rate, categorized as restricted.
Debt Service Funds include:
·General Obligation Debt Service (Fund 510)
·Eagle Mountain CFD Debt Service (Fund 520)
·Municipal Property Corporation Debt Service (Fund 530)
Capital Project Funds
Capital Project Funds are used for the acquisition and/or construction of major capital items including facilities, heavy
equipment, technology, open space, park improvements, and major road improvements.
«The Capital Projects Fund (Fund 600) revenues are committed revenues derived from excess General Fund revenues
and 50% of the construction related local sales tax. The Capital Projects Fund is the primary funding source for the
Town's capital improvements.
«The Development Fee Funds (Funds 710-770) are restricted funds which may only be used for the planning, design,
and construction of public facilities serving the needs of the new development from which it was collected and
designated as restricted. The Town has developed an Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP) that identi es each public
improvement that is proposed to be the subject of a development fee. This IIP is incorporated as part of the Town’s
Capital Improvement Program (CIP).Development Fee funds now only include:
·Fire & Emergency (Fund 720)
·Streets (Fund 730)
·Parks/Recreation (Fund 740)
Internal Service Funds
The Internal Service Funds are used to account for the Town’s business-type activities. These funds are considered self-
supporting in that the services rendered are nanced through user charges or are on a cost reimbursement basis. These
funds are classi ed as having assigned fund balances.
Internal Service Funds include:
·Facilities Replacement Fund (610)
·Technology Replacement Fund (Fund 800)
·Vehicle Replacement Fund (Fund 810)

Planning Process
A number of planning processes are in place to guide the Town’s decision making. Many of these processes allow for direct
citizen input through public hearings, community meetings or participation in Council-appointed committees. The Town’s
planning processes include:
Planning Process Description
Town Vision, Mission, Goals
and Values
Sets the overall tone of the organization and guides employees in managing the daily
operations of the Town.
General Plan
A guide designed to encourage the most appropriate use of land and resources within
the Town consistent with the interest of the citizens. The General Plan sets forth
goals,objectives, policies and implementation techniques that will guide the
development activity within the Town and promote, preserve and protect the health,
safety, and general welfare of its citizens.
Capital Improvement Program
A ve-year guide to assist in long range planning for the Town’s capital needs. Details
of the adopted Capital Improvement Plan are found in the Capital Improvements
section of this book.
Fiscal Policy Guidelines
Policies guiding the nancial management of the Town of Fountain Hills are approved
by the Town Council to ensure a scally sound government. The adoption of and
compliance with these policies is an important factor in Rating Agency reviews.
Annual Budget Process
Town staff develops a recommended budget. Many of the decisions included in that
recommendation are driven by processes noted above. A summary of the Town’s
budget process can be found below.
Five Year Financial Plan A ve-year nancial forecast is developed annually as a tool to anticipate potential
budget imbalances.
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 17
Budget Process
Mission of the Budget Process
Communication and involvement with citizens and other stakeholders is stressed. The broad nature of the budget
mission allows issues to be addressed that have limited the success of budgeting in the past. Apathy is a serious illness
of government; it is in the best interests of government to have involved stakeholders.
The term stakeholder refers to anyone affected by or who has a stake in government. This term stakeholder includes,
but is not limited to, citizens, customers, elected of cials, management, employees and their representatives,
businesses, vendors, other governments, and the media. It is vital that the budget processes include diverse
stakeholders.
Each year, the Town of Fountain Hills budget is developed from the Town Council’s priorities by the Finance Division
with the individual Departments and the Town Manager. Meetings with each Department, the Town Manager and the
Finance Division are held during the months of February/March. After these meetings are completed, a proposed Town-
wide balanced budget is prepared for submittal to the full Town Council and public in April/May.
Recommended Budget Practices
The Town of Fountain Hills budget process is designed to meet citizens’ needs for information and input; decision
makers’ needs for information and advice from citizens on their desired blend of services; and the time line set by the
State of Arizona through the Arizona Budget Law.
The Town of Fountain Hills budget process incorporates the recommended practices promulgated by the National
Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB) and the Government Finance Of cers Association (GFOA).
Concurrently, Town staff apply diligent effort into improving the processes, decisions and outcomes with each new
budget year. The NACSLB’s practices encourage governments to consider the long-term consequences of actions to
ensure that impacts of budget decisions are understood over a multi-year planning horizon and to assess whether
program and service levels can be sustained.
Budget De nition
All cities and towns in Arizona are required to adopt an annual budget. State law dictates that scal years begin on July
1 and end on June 30. Certain parts of the budget document, such as summaries of revenues and expenditures showing
two years of spending history, are required by State law.
A good budget process is characterized by several essential features:
Incorporates a long-term perspective
Establishes linkages to broad goals
Focuses budget decisions on results and outcomes
Involves and promotes effective communication with stakeholders
Provides incentives to government management and employees
These key characteristics of good budgeting make clear that the budget process is not simply an exercise in balancing
revenues and expenditures one year at a time, but is strategic in nature, encompassing a multi-year nancial and
operating plan that allocates resources on the basis of identi ed goals. A good budget process moves beyond the
traditional concept of line-item expenditure control, providing incentives and exibility to managers that can lead to
improved program ef ciency and effectiveness.
Principles and Elements of the Budget Process
The budget process consists of four broad principles that stem from the de nition and mission previously described.
These principles are as follows:
. A government should have broad goals that provide overall direction for the government and serve as a basis for
decision making.
. A government should have speci c policies, plans, programs and man-agreement strategies to de ne how it will
achieve its long-term goals.
. A nancial plan and budget that moves toward Town achievement of goals, within the constraints of available
resources, should be prepared and adopted.
. Program and nancial performance should be continually evaluated, and adjustments made, to encourage
progress toward achieving goals.
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 18
These principles encompass many functions that spread across a governmental organization. They re ect the fact that
development of a balanced budget is a political and managerial process that also has nancial and technical
dimensions. Each of the principles of the budget process incorporates components or elements that represent
achievable results. These elements help translate the guiding principles into action components. Individual budgetary
practices are derived from these elements. The principles and elements provide a structure to categorize budgetary
practices.
The Town of Fountain Hills has broad goals that provide overall direction for the government and serves as a basis for
decision-making.
Assess community needs, priorities, challenges and opportunities
Identify opportunities and challenges for governmental services, capital assets, and management
Develop and disseminate broad goals
Develop approaches to achieve goals – a government should have speci c policies, plans, programs, and
management strategies to de ne how it will achieve its long-term goals
Adopt nancial policies
Develop programmatic, operating, and capital policies and plans
Develop programs and services that are consistent with policies and plans
Develop management strategies
Develop a budget consistent with approaches to achieve goals – a nancial plan and budget that moves toward
achievement of goals, within the constraints of available resources, should be prepared and adopted
Develop a process for preparing and adopting a budget
Develop and evaluate nancial options
Make choices necessary to adopt a budget
Evaluate performance and make adjustments – program and nancial performance should be continually
evaluated, and adjustments made, to encourage progress toward achieving goals
Monitor, measure, and evaluate performance
Make adjustments as needed
When does the “budget season” start?
The budget process typically begins in December or January when the Finance Division begins to review current levels
of service, Council goals and objectives as identi ed at the annual Council retreat, proposed capital improvements, and
nancial forecasts.
In reality, the budget process for the Town is actually an ongoing process. Throughout the scal year, citizens and staff
submit suggestions for new services, regulations, funding sources, and improved service delivery, as well as concerns to
the Town Council and Commissions for discussion, study, and/or implementation. Commissions develop plans for new
or enhanced programs to be included in the following year’s budget proposal.
Implementing, Monitoring, and Amending the Budget
A budget is an annual planning tool — it identi es the Town’s work plan and matches the nancial, material, and
human resources available with the requirements to complete the work plan. The budget includes information about
the organization and identi es the Council policy that directed the budget preparation. Although a budget is often
discussed as a nancial document, the nancial portion means very little without the policy and administrative
information that explains what the organization intends to do with the nancial resources.
In July, the Town staff begins the process of implementing the newly adopted budget and is accountable for budgetary
control throughout the scal year. Revenue and expenditure patterns are examined, compared to budget plans, and
corrective action, if necessary, is taken during the scal year. Town management has access to a monthly budget and
activity report; the Town Council is provided a summary budget report at the end of each quarter disclosing actual
revenue, expenditure, and fund balance performance as compared to the budget.
The Town of Fountain Hills budget is adopted at a Department level and the Capital Improvement Program is adopted
at a project level. Control of each legally adopted annual budget is at the Department level; the Town Manager may, at
any time, transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof between general classi cations of
expenditure (line items) within a Department. The items are reduced by a like amount. At the request of the Town
Manager, the Council may transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof between one
Department to another.
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 19
Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes, “No expenditure shall be made for a purpose not included in such budget...”. Thus,
a contingency line item is included within the General Fund to accommodate most unplanned expenditures. The other
option in amending the budget, according to State law, is for the Council to declare an emergency and then transfer
the monies from one line item or Department to another. In essence, any approved Council transfers do amend the
budget although the budget is never reprinted.
What funds are included in this budget?
The accounts of the Town are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based on the purposes for which they are
to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The Town of Fountain Hills appropriates all funds
in its budget process:
·General Fund – revenues and expenditures to carry out basic governmental activities such as police and re, recreation,
planning, legal services, administrative services, etc. (unrestricted).
·Special Revenue Funds – revenues derived from speci c taxes or other earmarked revenue sources, usually required by
statute or ordinance to nance particular activities. Streets (HURF) Fund, grants, and the Excise Tax Funds are examples
of special revenue funds.
·Debt Service Funds – established to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-
term debt principal and interest. Municipal Property Corporation (MPC) and Community Facilities District (CFD) funds
are included within the debt service funds.
·Capital Projects Funds – to account for the purchase or construction of major capital facilities, heavy equipment, park
improvements and major road improvements. The Capital Projects Fund revenues are derived from excess General
Fund revenues and 50% of the construction related local sales tax. These funds also include the Facilities Replacement
Fund and the Development Fee Funds.
When can a citizen have input into the budget process?
Town staff welcomes comments and suggestions throughout the year. The rst opportunity for the Town Council to
contribute to the budget is during the annual goal setting retreat which is typically held around the beginning of the
calendar year. The proposed budget is presented to the public and Town Council in April/May at which time a public
hearing is held to receive input. This hearing is the opportunity to increase the budget for the next scal year before the
maximum spending amount is established. Once the maximum spending amount is adopted as the tentative budget,
line items can only be exchanged or decreased prior to the budget’s nal adoption.
Budgetary and Accounting Basis
The budget is prepared on a budgetary basis of accounting for all fund types. Expenditures are recorded when the
related fund liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized only when they are measurable and available. In all cases,
when goods and services are not received by year-end, the encumbrances lapse. This basis means certain transactions
are recognized in the budget on a basis other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which is the basis
used to prepare the Town’s Annual Financial Report (AFR). The major differences between the budgetary and GAAP
basis are:
·Certain revenues, expenditures and transfers are not included on a budgetary basis, but are accrued and reported on a
GAAP basis. For example, increases or decreases in compensated absences are not reported for budgetary purposes,
but are presented as revenues or expenditures on a GAAP basis.
·Depreciation is not budgeted as an expense in budgetary accounting.
·Capital outlays are an expenditure in budgetary accounting and an asset in GAAP.
·Certain debt service principal and interest payments are accounted for as expenditures in the General Fund on a
budgetary basis, but are reported as expenses in the Debt Service Fund on the GAAP basis.
All actual amounts in the budget document are shown on a budgetary basis to facilitate meaningful comparisons.
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 20
Operating and Capital Budget Relationship
Included within the annual budget is a Capital Improvement Program presented on a budgetary basis. Capital project
budget funding sources are matched with budgeted expenditures. Governmental accounting procedures do not
require adequate budget to pay for an entire contract to be available and appropriated in the period in which a contract
is entered. Therefore, expenditures are presented on a budgetary basis which is a cash ow model.
For example, a 180 day construction contract entered into in May of scal year one would have cash expenditures from
May of scal year one through October of scal year two; however, the entire budget for this project would not be
appropriated in scal year one, the year in which the contract was entered. Any unspent funds at scal year-end are
carried forward and budgeted again in scal year two.
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 21
Financial and Related Policies

Resolution 2014-03 (https://www.fh.az.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1529/Issuance-and-Post-Issuance-Compliance-PDF)
adopted by Town Council on March 20, 2014
Many conditions, restrictions and requirements must be complied with to permit and preserve the tax-exempt, tax

other tax-exempt nancings by the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona (the "Town"). Prior to issuance, the Town and its bond
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 22
counsel will review the facts and the reasonable expectations to determine if the issue will comply with these
conditions, restrictions and requirements at the time of issuance. There are certain actions the Town must perform after
issuance to preserve the favorable tax treatment and certain actions of the Town after issuance can adversely affect the
tax treatment. In addition, the Town must maintain proper records to demonstrate compliance. Because tax bene ts
may be critical to the investors' decision to purchase the bonds or other obligations, the Town will covenant with the
bond purchasers to comply with all of the conditions, restrictions and requirements throughout the life of the bonds.

the culmination of ongoing activity over the past eighteen months and
was led by seven community volunteers on the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission. In keeping with the keynote theme
of collaboration the Commission reached out to local stakeholders, businesses, Town staff and
residents during the Plan’s development to solicit feedback and support. Strategic Plan 2022 is designed to remain viable,
exible, and relevant during its life cycle. Its priorities are set to align with the core responsibilities of Town Government while
acknowledging the importance of building partnerships in this evolving age of technological advancements.

Executive Summary
Overview
The motto for the town of Fountain Hills is “All that is Arizona”. This is certainly an appropriate portrayal of a community that
combines stunning natural beauty with a safe, up-scale, and in many ways, idyllic setting. In Fountain Hills, neighbors share a
commitment to community that makes small town life so appealing, without losing big city advantages. The Town’s Strategic
Planning Advisory Commission, consisting of seven volunteer citizens, sought to fashion a ten-year strategic plan that is
aligned with the community’s priorities and expectations of principled and steady progress without putting at risk the things
that make Fountain Hills such a special place to live.
Strategic Plan Focus
The Strategic Plan focuses on enhancing Fountain Hill's appeal as a small town in the orbit of a large urban environment by
honoring traditional values, environmental uniqueness, stability, sustainability, and exibility in preparing for the future. This is
evident in Fountain Hill's Key Organizational Goals which aim to: improve public areas including infrastructure and Town
facilities; enhance public safety and the overall quality of life, promote economic development, and ensure the Town’s nancial
stability.
Guiding Principles
The principles that guided the Commission through the creation of this plan included the understanding that the various tasks
had to be manageable or attainable by the Town over a 10-year horizon. The progress by the Town in achieving success had to
be measurable over time and lastly this Strategic Plan needed to be impactful and not merely a rehash of projects that the
Town is already working towards.
Planning Acknowledgements
The Commission took into account realities that exist when planning for a small town. First, Fountain Hills has limited
resources and undergoes an annual economic seasonality that creates revenue variability. The Town is blessed with a strong
and talented volunteer base along with its unmatched natural beauty. Lastly, since the Town is essentially surrounded by land
that is limited in its development potential, there is minimal expectations for residential growth.
Community and Stakeholder Input
In approaching the task of writing a strategic plan the Commission rst sought to understand and give voice to the Fountain
Hills citizens, local leaders, and historical documents. The Commission did this by engaging local business, civic, education and
government leaders for input, observations, and experiences. Next the Commission reviewed and assessed the ongoing impact
of the Town’s 2015 strategic plan that was
subsequently updated in 2017. Most importantly, the commission collaborated with the non-pro t volunteer group named
‘Vision Fountain Hills’, to survey over 900 Fountain Hills residents on their thoughts and views of important past, and current
issues. The results of the survey showed that respondents primary community interests were:
Business Development
Technology Services
Town’s Condition
The Environment
Town Finances
Safety
Keynote Themes used in the Plan’s Development
When developing the 2022 Fountain Hills Strategic Plan the Commission held to three important themes throughout the
process. First was the emphasis on collaborative partnering. Wherever possible tasks were constructed in a way to allow
collaboration and/or partnering between the Town and interested stakeholders. Second was the absolute need for transparency
and ownership so that readers of the plan have con dence in the process used in developing relevant strategies and their
effective implementation. Third was their unwavering understanding that stewardship of our local environment was
paramount and must be addressed speci cally and consistently throughout the strategic plan.
Strategic Priorities
The four Strategic Priorities identi ed and expanded upon in this plan, represent the overriding areas of focus:
Targeted Collaborative Economic Development
Promote the Long-Term Financial Sustainability of Town Infrastructure, Environmental and Social Resources
Continue to Improve the Public Health, Well-Being, and Safety of our Town
Maintain Current Infrastructure while Preparing the Town for Emerging Trends that Increase Public Safety and Quality of
Life
Town of Fountain Hills | Budget Book 2023 Page 25
Strategic Plan Structure
Underneath the four Strategic Priorities (SP) there are 11 Signature Strategies (SS) and under the Signature Strategies there are
23 Supporting Tasks (ST). Thus, the structure of this plan is built to ow from a Strategic Priority to a Signature Strategy to a
speci c Supporting Task. In this way we can show bi-directionally, both how a Strategic
Priority results in a set of Supporting Tasks and how a speci c Supporting Task ties back to a larger Strategic Priority.
Each Supporting Task is further delineated with an expected timeline to implementation (in years), estimated complexity
(scale of 1-5 with 5 being most complex), and an annotation of the potential for collaboration (y/n) between the Town of
Fountain Hills and a stakeholder or interested party.
Moving Forward
The success of The Town of Fountain Hills Strategic Plan 2022 depends on an effective communications (internal and external)
plan and monitoring process that supports its implementation. Thus, the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission has
included a Communication and Monitoring Plan, (located in the appendices) that lays out avenues of communication between
the Mayor, Town Council, Town Staff, and the Citizens of Fountain Hills concerning the implemention of this Plan.

GO Bond
Debt Service
Fund
Voter-approved General Obligation bonds issued by the Town are repaid by
collecting a secondary property tax. This secondary property tax levy is based on
the total amount required for the annual principal and interest payments (with
adjustments for carry-forward and/or interest earnings, delinquencies, etc.)
divided by the total assessed valuation for the Town of Fountain Hills.
Currently, the Town does not have any outstanding General Obligation bonds,
and a town-wide secondary property tax is not required for scal year 2023.

Eagle
Mountain
CFD Debt
Service
There have been four bond issues (issued as General Obligation bonds) that were
approved for speci c purposes:
The rst two CFD bond issues in 1996 (refunded in 2005) were to acquire
certain public infrastructure bene ting the District, speci cally a sewer
project, a storm water conveyance system project, the Eagle Mountain
Parkway Phase I project, and the Summer Hill Boulevard project.
The third CFD bond issue, completed in 2005, refunded and defeased the
two 1996 issues.
The fourth issue re nanced the outstanding bonds in 2015 to reduce
interest costs.
The Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District debt payments are levied on
the property owners within the District. These obligations are paid by the
property owners using secondary property taxes, less any credits, carry-forward
and/or interest earnings and allowing for delinquencies. The nal payment on
the fourth issue was made on 7/1/2021. As a result, a secondary property tax will
not be assessed for scal year 2023.

MPC Debt
Serv
One of the methods of funding major municipal projects is the use of a
Municipal Property Corporation (MPC). The Town created the Fountain Hills
Municipal Proper- ty Corporation and bonds were issued in 2000 and 2001 to
build the Community Center and purchase a portion of the McDowell Mountain
Preserve, respectively. In 2004, MPC bonds were used to construct Town Hall.
While the bonds are outstand- ing, the MPC owns the land and buildings
purchased with bond proceeds. Now that all the MPC bonds have been
redeemed, ownership of the buildings and land have been transferred to the
Town.

Economic Development
Amanda Jacobs
Economic Development Director
Economic Development in Fountain Hills requires a collaborative effort to ensure success. The Town of Fountain Hills
plays a key role along with the business community and residents. The Town works collaboratively with the various
stakeholder groups and other agencies in its effort to diversify the local economy.
The Economic Development Plan is a multi-tiered approach to building a strong economic base. Creating more base
jobs locally will attract more year-round residents to live, work and play in the community. Expanding the market for
local businesses creates revenues that support the community's quality of life. As revenues are generated and the
economic base expands, revenues are available for basic services such as parks, recreation and roadway
improvements.

General Obligation (GO) Bonds
Voter-approved General Obligation bonds issued by the Town are repaid by collecting a secondary property tax. This
secondary property tax levy is based on the total amount required for the annual principal and interest payments (with
adjustments for carry-forward and/or interest earnings, delinquencies, etc.) divided by the total assessed valuation for
the Town of Fountain Hills.
Currently, the Town does not have any outstanding General Obligation bonds, and a town-wide secondary property tax
is not required for scal year 2023.
Municipal Property Corporation (MPC) Bonds
One of the methods of funding major municipal projects is the use of a Municipal Property Corporation (MPC). The Town
created the Fountain Hills Municipal Property Corporation, and bonds were issued in 2000 and 2001 to build the
Community Center and purchase a portion of the McDowell Mountain Preserve, respectively. In 2004, MPC bonds were
used to construct Town Hall. While the bonds are outstanding, the MPC owns the land and buildings purchased with
bond proceeds. Principal and interest payments are made using various operating revenues received by the Town and
do not require a property tax levy on residents.
Now that all the MPC bonds have been retired, ownership of the buildings and land have been transferred to the Town.
Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District (EMCFD) Bonds
There have been four bond issues (issued as General Obligation bonds) that were approved for speci c purposes:
The rst two CFD bond issues in 1996 (refunded in 2005) were to acquire certain public infrastructure bene ting
the District, speci cally a sewer project, a storm water conveyance system project, the Eagle Mountain Parkway
Phase I project, and the Summer Hill Boulevard project.
The third CFD bond issue, completed in 2005, refunded and defeased the two 1996 issues.
The fourth issue re nanced the outstanding bonds in 2015 to reduce interest costs.
The Eagle Mountain Community Facilities District debt payments are levied on the property owners within the District.
These obligations are paid by the property owners using secondary property taxes, less any credits, carry-forward and/or
interest earnings and allowing for delinquencies. The nal payment on the fourth issue was made on 7/1/2021. As a
result, a secondary property tax will not be assessed for scal year 2023.

CIP Fountain Park
Lights for playrounds
The playgrounds at Fountain Park have never had
lighting. There have been several requests by residents to
light them so children can play on them after dark,
especially in the summer. This request is for $170,000.00 to
light both 2-5 and 5-12 year old playground areas.
Repair shade poles
The shade poles supporting the shade structures over the
playground are leaning and need to be straightened.
Inspections indicate they were installed without dry
packing and the bases are shifting subgrade. The poles
should be able to be straightened by correcting the bolts
that support them. This is by far the most economical way
to x this and therefore the rst method to try. If this
doesn't work then the poles will have to be removed and
new footers dug to increase the support for the sails. Staff
is requesting $12,500 to straighten poles and an additional
$28,500.00 if they cannot be straightened and need to
have new footers poured.

Playground Lighting
The 2-5 year old playground currently does not have
lighting and the lights for the 5-12yr old playground are
from the old basketball courts. Staff is recommending

LED lights and putting up new poles for the 2-5
playground so they will both become usable at nighttime
and to help minimize vandalism in these areas. Staff is
requesting $135,000 for this project

CIP Desert Vista Park
Skate/Bike Park remodel and improvements
The skate park at Desert Vista has multiple safety concerns
due to cracking and chipping concrete. The park will be
redesigned with new ramps and features that will extend
the footprint to the turf area west of the existing
skate/bike park area. Staff is requesting $675,000.00 for
this project.
DV improvements
Desert Vista Park has been in need of improvement for
several years. The improvements began with turf
renovations and accessibility upgrades, including a
crosswalk and walking loop in 2021. The turf project will be
the second year of the 2-year improvement plan with a
$65,000 request.
Due to the increased park use, phasing a multi-year
project similar to 4 Peaks Park will greatly improve this
park. Staff would begin a multi-year improvement to this
park that will include lighting the new section of
the walking loop, adding a Ramada to the area near the
playground and new mini pitch, completing the sidewalk
from the mini pitch to the skate/bike park, and adding a
tness area to the eastern portion of the park. Staff is
requesting a total of $400,000 over 2 years to complete
this project: $200,000 in 2023 and $200,000 in 2024.

CIP Golden Eagle Park
Shade around ball elds
New shade structures were installed after the ooding of
2018 and this CIP project would complete the shading
needed in the remaining ball eld areas. This would
add shade structures to eld 1 where there currently aren't
any, one to the third base side of eld 2 and one to the
rst base side of eld 4. Use of the elds at Golden Eagle
has substantially increased and has increased revenues
accordingly. This would allow for completing the planned
shade structures that were not funded in 2018. Staff is
requesting $150,000 to complete this CIP project.
Ball eld light upgrades
The four ball elds within Golden Eagle Park currently use
dated, metal halide lights. The xtures, poles and wiring
are more than 20 years old and in need
of replacement/upgrade due to failures. This item has been
highlighted as a future project within the CIP for the last 5
years. A transition to LED lighting is recommended to be
consistent with other park amenities as well as increase
the longevity of the xtures. LED lighting will also reduce
glare and light spill, improving the impact on nearby
residents, as well reduce operational costs for power use.
The resulting cost savings from LED xtures will offset the
investment within the warranty window. New lighting will
be warrantied (parts and labor) for 25 years through
MUSCO. Staff recommends a Not to Exceed budget of $1.4
million to complete upgrades to all four elds.

CIP Desert Vista Dog Park Drainage Improvements
Improper grading in the lower, east end of the large dog
park causes puddles and holds water whenever it rains or
there are irrigation issues in the park. The puddles cause
issues when the dogs naturally gravitate to them and, as a
result, areas become muddy which increases future
drainage issues. This project will correct the drainage
issues and allow the water to move out of the dog park,
eliminating the problem. New soil will be brought in and
regraded providing a proper slope to the area to prevent
puddling and then the turf will be allowed to regrow or
sodded as needed before reopening. Staff will close about
a third of the park to complete this project, but both the
large and small dog park will remain open during most of
the renovation project.

CIP Centennial Pavilion
Centennial Circle Pavilion/ Pavilion improvements
The Centennial Circle is a large and under-utilized space.
This CIP project is designed to make the new pavilion area
become a programmable space that can be utilized by
multiple departments to host many outdoor events as well
as become a revenue generator. This requires moving
some of the art pieces within the area, adding lighting,
improving landscaping, and adding a large shade
structure to make it a more welcoming area during the
hot summer months. Existing monument signs
recognizing Arizona's centennial, including the "5 C's" as
well as art dedications will be renovated as well. Staff is
requesting $375,000.

excavation materials at locations where future Town road widening projects will require ll material. This work is done at
no cost to the Town and will save on the costs to ll and compact these areas in the future. The locations where the
excess materials can be placed are now limited without constructing or extending drainage culverts. Re-vegetation is also
required in the areas where ll materials are placed to help with erosion and aesthetics.

Golden Eagle impoundment area receives storm runoff from three washes, Ashbrook wash, Bristol wash and Cloudburst
wash. The 100-year storm rainfall intensity values have increased in the northeastern area of Maricopa County. Runoff
values have increased, due to increased upstream development. Runoff time of concentration has accelerated, due to
increased upstream development. The net change as a result of noted changes above have increased the amount of ow
entering the impoundment area (this includes the park improvement areas ball elds, picnic Ramada area ect) and
requires major modi cations to the drainage courses.

The Town is responsible for the maintenance and repair of a large number of drainage structures including, pipe culverts
(corrugated metal and concrete pipe), catch basins, drop inlets and curb openings at drainage parcels. This Project will
provide maintenance and repairs to the Town's drainage structures. These drainage structures and pipe culverts are
essential components of the Town's storm drain network. They convey large amounts of runoff to our washes thereby
mitigating ooding concerns. Many of these large pipe culverts were installed by the County pre-incorporation. Some
drainage structures are over 40 years old.

Community Center Renovations Phase II
This phase of the Community Center Renovation will
address issues discovered during Phase I of the project.
During the initial phase of renovations, a drainage issue
was discovered at the exterior walls and doors of the
building. This phase of the project will address these
drainage issues, and the exterior wall bases will be
modi ed to change the direction of water ow, to drain
away from the building. Work will also include the
replacement of an interior wall and replace it with a
collapsible wall, to add exibility for Town programs. The
Council-adopted Community Services Strategic Plan
identi es the need to enhance facility utilization to
promote a sense of community.

Fountain Hills Area Drainage Master Planning and
Design
The Flood Control District of Maricopa County has initiated
an Area Drainage Master Study/Plan (ADMS/P) for the Town
of Fountain Hills. the rm of Black and Veatch was selected
to complete the master plan. This project is currently
underway, with the rst step in the process being data
collection, eld reconnaissance and base model
development. Town staff is coordinating with Black and
Veatch to provide the necessary data for this process.
Following the development of the FLO-2D base model,
which will include walls, levees, dams, washes and all
hydraulic structures, the Town's drainage systems will be
analyzed during 100-year and 500-year storm events,
including sediment transport analysis. The study will
identify ooding and high-hazard areas town-wide that
need to be addressed. Once projects are identi ed, the
Town anticipates applying for grant funding for design and
construction, and these funds will be used as match funds
towards these future projects.
