POSSIBLE ACTION: Request to apply and take receipt of Prop 202 Grant Funding
Staff Summary (Background)
In order to market and promote the community, the Economic Development Department depends
heavily upon grant funding from the Arizona Office of Tourism (Proposition 302), Fort McDowell Yavapai
Nation, and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (Proposition 202). Staff is seeking approval
to apply for Prop 202 Grant Funding from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation in the amount of $30,000
for FY2022/23.
The Economic Development Department has undertaken significant marketing and advertising efforts to
encourage visitors to come to the Town. Previous marketing efforts included advertisements in local
publications (Phoenix Magazine, Wander AZ, ExperienceAZ) and in Canada (Canadian Snowbird
Association Magazine). Additionally, staff ran advertising campaigns at both Phoenix metro area
commercial airports and maintained partnerships with Barrett-Jackson, the Chicago Cubs, Arizona
Diamondbacks, Oakland Athletics to encourage visitors to the Valley to consider a day trip to Fountain
Hills. If awarded the grant funding this year, the funds would support new marketing efforts to enhance
the Experience Fountain Hills website. From July 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022, the Experience Fountain Hills
website had over 110,000 unique visitors to the page. Staff is looking at ways to increase the number of
unique visitors and the length of time visitors stay on the website. Additionally, staff will be creating
ways to package and promote Fountain Hills as a destination.

Appendix
A well-informed citizenry is crucial for effective
government communications and strong accountability of
government agencies and leadership. Civic engagement
creates and maintains an educated, aware, motivated,
engaged, and fulfilled community. The level of public
engagement can range from keeping the public informed
to involving the public’s participation in the decision-
making process. Engaging the public early and at the
appropriate level helps create buy-in for the process and
the final decision.
Citizen Engagement brings government and citizens
together to foster collaborative conversations, build
positive relationships, and promote new, innovative ways
for citizens to be informed, engaged, and involved in
decision making. Through the use of social media, other
digital platforms, neighborhood collaboration, public
outreach, and other special projects, the Public
Information/Community Relations Office provides a one-
stop-shop for engaging with the public.
The Town of Fountain Hills is committed to being
approachable, transparent, and accessible. Advancing the
free flow of accurate and truthful information is essential
to serving the public interest and contributing to informed
decision-making. By communicating clearly, the Town will
maintain relationships with the media, government
officials, and the public. Most importantly, keeping these
stakeholders informed will build the relationship between
Town leaders and citizens, promote trust and respect
between local government and its constituents, and
create an atmosphere that invites citizen involvement in
decisions that affect the community.

Connecting with Residents on
Key Policy and Election Issues
Town Council and the Town Administration make decisions that often have a direct effect on
residents and businesses. Decisions made can be in a policy, recommendation for bonds,
ballot initiatives on an upcoming election or changes to the Town budget, as examples. It is
imperative that when programs, policies and election related decisions are enacted that
residents are made aware and have the opportunity for comment. The Citizen Engagement
Plan provides a guideline in how the Town will communicate with constituents on important
topics and issues.
Elections
The Town of Fountain Hills holds elections every even year for Mayor and eligible Town
Council seats, and any ballot initiatives. All elections for county and town initiatives and

a municipality should be authorized to raise funds through the sale of bonds.
Town Council may choose to ask residents for additional funding to support major capital
projects. These projects may include streets repair and replacement, park construction,
Fountain Lake repairs, or other infrastructure need that far exceeds the normal Town
budget.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION AND
POSSIBLE ACTION: Approving the Master Trail Plan for Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve.
Staff Summary (Background)
In 1996 the Town of Fountain Hills established the McDowell Mountain Preserve Commission (MMPC)
to “provide trails, trailhead locations and safeguard the Preserve”. Specifically, the Town’s stated
intention is, in part, to “maintain the existing, undisturbed desert landscape” and accomplish the
following:
Provide for the development of a trail system within the Preserve1.
Grant public access to the Preserve2.
Limit human encroachment to specific areas within the Preserve3.
Protect wildlife habitat4.
In 1997 the MMPC voted to establish the Sonoran Conservancy of Fountain Hills, with the stipulation
that their Board must include one or more MMPC Commissioners. Trail building was a high priority,
with all work and programs in the Preserve based on MMPC requests and approvals.
In 2004 the Town Council approved a comprehensive Preserve Master Plan which provides further
detail regarding its intent. The 2004 Preserve Master Plan mission statement states: The mission is to
preserve this setting for present and future residents as an open space conservation Preserve.
In 2020 the MMPC adopted “Guidelines for the Management of the Fountain Hills Preserve”. They are
consistent with the 2004 Preserve Master Plan. The Guidelines anticipate further trail development and
include additional criteria for trail design and trail density:
Provide a diversity of experiences on Preserve trails1.
Consider trail density and usage2.
Be sensitive to the impact on neighboring communities3.
The MMPC believes the current public view of the Preserve is highly positive. Community input to the
Community Services Master Plan of 2021 has indicated a strong desire for additional trails. However,
there is a recognition by the MMPC that there is a limit to how many additional trails, if any, are
appropriate in the Preserve. The challenge the MMPC has is to maintain a balance between keeping the
current character of the Preserve and providing additional public access for its enjoyment.
This Master Trail Plan for Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve contains the MMPC’s analysis and
recommendations regarding a long-term vision of future trails.

Trail Master Plan 2022
For
Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve
Purpose
It is generally acknowledged that trails in the Preserve are a significant benefit to the Town and
add to the quality of life in Fountain Hills. However, at some point in the future, the Preserve
trail system will be “built out”.
The purpose of this Trail Master Plan is to determine and specify what, if any, additional trails
may eventually be added to the Preserve over time, while maintaining an appropriate balance
of the criteria specified by the Town, the 2004 Preserve Master Plan, and the McDowell
Mountain Preservation Commission (MMPC) Guidelines.
It is anticipated that no additional trails will be constructed in the Preserve beyond those
presented in this Trail Master Plan.
The trails in this plan must still be qualified by a thorough vetting process, and approved by
Town Council, prior to being built.
Background
In 1996 the Town of Fountain Hills established the McDowell Mountain Preserve Commission
(MMPC) to “provide trails, trailhead locations and safeguard the Preserve”.
Specifically, the Town’s stated intention is, in part, to “maintain the existing, undisturbed desert
landscape” and accomplish the following:
1. Provide for the development of a trail system within the Preserve
2. Grant public access to the Preserve
3. Limit human encroachment to specific areas within the Preserve
4. Protect wildlife habitat
In 1997 the MMPC voted to establish the Sonoran Conservancy of Fountain Hills, with the
stipulation that their Board must include one or more MMPC Commissioners. Trail building was
a high priority, with all work and programs in the Preserve based on MMPC requests and
approvals.
In 2004 the FH Town Council approved a comprehensive Preserve Master Plan which provides
further detail regarding their intent. The 2004 Preserve Master Plan mission statement is:
The mission is to preserve this setting for present and future residents
as an open space conservation Preserve.
2 | Page
Pertinent to the development of this Trail Master Plan is an action item from Goal 4 of the 2004
Preserve Master Plan: “Construction of specific walking trails to provide the public with the
opportunity to explore all directions within the Preserve”.
In 2020 the MMPC adopted “Guidelines for the Management of the FH Preserve”. They are
consistent with the 2004 Preserve Master Plan. The Guidelines anticipate further trail
development and include additional criteria for trail design and trail density:
1. Provide a diversity of experiences on Preserve trails
2. Consider trail density and usage
3. Be sensitive to the impact on neighboring communities
To add perspective and basis to the Trail Master Plan, a forward-looking document, it is helpful
to first assess the current state and character of the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain
Preserve. The existing trail system evolved prior to the current MMPC vetting criteria.
The Promenade, Overlook, Western Loop, Easy and Sonoran trails were the “foundation” trails
in the Preserve spelled out in the 2004 Preserve Master Plan. The Trailblazers constructed the
Andrews-Kinsey, Lower Sonoran, alternate Bike Route, and Ridgeline trails in the last eight
years. The Lower Ridgeline trail will be completed by early 2022.
The chronology of current trails in the Preserve:
Date Trail Name Distance (miles)
2002 Promenade 0.8 (existing Jeep trail)
2003 Overlook 0.6
2006 Western Loop 1.3
2007 Easy 0.1
2008 Sonoran 1.8
2009 Sonoran to Dixie Mine 0.6
2014 Andrews-Kinsey 0.5
2017 Lower Sonoran 2.1
2018 Bike Loop 0.5
2019 Ridgeline 1.3
2022 Lower Ridgeline 0.8
Until 2010 access to the Preserve was restricted to guided hikes only, led by SCFH members.
Hikers were then allowed to park about one mile from the Preserve entrance and hike up an
unpaved road to the trailhead. Public access over an unpaved road to the Adero Canyon
trailhead was allowed beginning in 2012. This was then limited to weekends only during the
early construction of the Adero Canyon housing development. Construction of the Adero
Canyon Trailhead (ACT) was completed in 2018. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on
November 17, 2018, to celebrate the opening of the trailhead. The road to the Adero Canyon
Trailhead was paved in 2020.
3 | Page
The MMPC believes the existing FH McDowell Mountain Preserve trail system adheres to the
intent of the Town, the 2004 Preserve Master Plan, and the MMPC Guidelines and would pass
the vetting process to which future trails are subject.
Some neighborhood concerns have been expressed with previous trail additions. When it was
proposed, Eagles Nest residents expressed concerns relative to the Lower Sonoran Trail.
Meetings with the Eagles Nest HOA and some minor rerouting of the trail alleviated those
concerns. One outcome from those discussions was that 300 feet of separation between a
residential property line and a trail were an acceptable offset. One Shadow Canyon
homeowner expressed his concern regarding the Lower Ridgeline trail, but only after the trail
was approved and well under construction.
Neighborhood impact is a sensitivity that must be managed prior to the building of any new
trails in the Preserve.
The MMPC believes the current public view of the Preserve is highly positive. Community input
to the Community Services Master Plan of 2021 has indicated a strong desire for additional
trails.
However, there is a recognition by the MMPC that there is a limit to how many additional trails,
if any, are appropriate in the Preserve. The challenge the MMPC has is to maintain a balance
between keeping the current character of the Preserve with providing additional public access
for its enjoyment.
This Trail Master Plan contains the MMPC’s analysis and recommendations regarding a long-
term vision of future trails in the Preserve. It does not address the timing of trail additions,
other than recommending the next trail to be built.
Trail Options
The geographic footprint of the Preserve and the existing trails in the Preserve suggested
several possible areas for additional trail development. After careful consideration by the
MMPC, and incorporating input from the SCFH, the Master Plan trail options were narrowed to
the following:
1. North Leg Trail – an out and back trail, from the Promenade trail extending into the
north arm of the Preserve.
2. Upper Sonoran Trail – a trail from the northern part of the Sonoran trail to the Western
Loop, with a possible extension back to the Sonoran trail.
3. Quartz Trail Connector – a short connecting trail to an extension of the current Quartz
trail in Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
4. North Leg Loop –adding a loop extension to the North Leg trail.
5. Sunridge Loop – a loop trail extending out from the east end of the Ridgeline Trail.
4 | Page
An additional entry point to the Preserve may be desirable, but is not currently a possibility due
to the lack of adjacent Town property or easement.
It is important to emphasize that, even as additional trails are considered, maintenance of the
existing trail system is to take priority over new trail construction.
5 | Page
6 | Page
Process for Trail Master Plan Development
The various options were considered, both individually and in the aggregate, and vetted via the
MMPC Guidelines vetting process (see Appendix).
Additional factors included in the analysis are:
• Impact on the image of the Town of FH
• Impact on Trailhead parking
• Impact on wildlife
• Impact on neighboring communities
• Impact on trail density
• Difficulty level of building the trail
• Ability to use professional trail builders, i.e., equipment access
• Availability of trail building resources
Analysis of Trail Options
Criteria common to all Options
Many of the vetting criteria and additional factors apply equally to all the trail options:
Do they meet the Guiding Principles?
• The Guiding Principles are to: maintain the natural beauty of the Preserve, minimize
human impact, prioritize conservation over development, and provide public access.
While the addition of new trails will impact the natural state of the Preserve and
increase human impact, the Plan intends that new construction will be carefully
considered and carried out in a way that will minimize impact while providing the public
with additional, desired trails.
• The ability to give priority to conservation over development will require that each
proposed trail in the future be thoroughly vetted at that time.
Do they complement or conflict with the mission to preserve the Preserve?
The additional trails present a challenge in terms of how to maintain a balance between
keeping the current character of the Preserve and providing additional public access for its
enjoyment. The Trail Master Plan 2022 aims to address these issues by limiting future
development to the trails specified in this plan. This is consistent with the vision of the 2004
Preserve Master Plan to allow: the “Construction of specific walking trails to provide the public
with the opportunity to explore all directions within the Preserve”.
7 | Page
Do they take into consideration Town input?
• The Town of Fountain Hills has tasked the MMPC with, among other things, “to provide
for the development of a trail system within the Preserve”. Community input to the
Community Services Master Plan of April 2021 has indicated a strong desire for
additional trails, including Greater Trail Connectivity, Long Range Trail Plans,
Environmental Education Center, Development of Outdoor and Environmental
Programs, Fitness and Wellness Programs. The unique characteristic of the Preserve
satisfies many of these aspirations.
What problem or need do they satisfy?
• The addition of trails in the Preserve serves to help accomplish the Town of Fountain
Hills’ desire to provide for the development of a trail system within the Preserve and
serves to help fulfill community input for a desire for additional trails.
• The additional trails in this Plan also help to achieve the 2004 Preserve Master Plan
vision of “construction of specific walking trails to provide the public with the
opportunity to explore all directions within the Preserve”.
What are the funding requirements?
• Funding requirements are minimal. Labor to build and maintain the trails is done on a
volunteer basis. Minor funds will be required for signage and updating of online trail
maps.
• Future trail building & maintenance could become problematic for this volunteer group
in terms of safety, expertise, training, and equipment. Funding may be required to
address these potential issues.
What is the impact on Trailhead parking?
• Hiking activity in the Preserve is very seasonal. Parking capacity at Adero Canyon
Trailhead may be reached during limited hours on weekends and holiday periods (mid-
November through March). Additional trails in the Preserve will incrementally add to
this demand.
• This can be mitigated by allowing overflow parking on Eagle Ridge Drive on weekends
during the peak hiking season.
• Parking limitations will improve trail user density. If the amount of parking spaces
remains the same, it will limit additional users regardless of how many new trails are
added.
8 | Page
What is the impact on wildlife in the Preserve?
• Without an extensive study on wildlife movements, it is difficult to anticipate the impact
on current habitats. However, years of continuous construction in the adjacent
neighborhoods have likely already forced alternate environments for some of the
Preserve’s wildlife.
• The impact on wildlife will be considered when vetting any potential new trails.
What is the input from SCFH?
The Sonoran Conservancy of Fountain Hills (SCFH) reviewed an early draft of the Trail Master
Plan and provided input to the MMPC (see full comments in the Appendix). Their thoughtful
and thorough comments were discussed by the MMPC and taken into consideration in finalizing
this document.
The SCFH input was most helpful in improving this plan. Their involvement and efforts are
appreciated by the MMPC.
Trail Specific Vetting
Following are the results of the vetting of specific trails. Note that:
• The proposed North Leg Trail has been fully vetted by the MMPC. Its approval by Town
Council is recommended by the MMPC and supported by the SCFH.
• The other trails listed have been through an initial screening to determine if they
warrant inclusion in this Trail Master Plan. A complete vetting and Town Council
approval are required prior to moving forward with these.
• The descriptive names used in this document will not necessarily be the trail name.
That will be decided at the time each trail is approved.
• References to Trail Density refer to the physical proximity and visibility of other trails.
North Leg Trail
This is an out and back trail from the Promenade trail, extending into the north arm of the
Preserve. The trail length is 0.9 miles one way. It is a 2.8-mile round trip hike from Adero
Canyon Trailhead.
9 | Page
What is the potential impact on the image of the Town of FH?
• One of the appeals of Fountain Hills is the Preserve and the ability of people to enjoy the
Preserve via a trail system. Additional hiking options in the Preserve will enhance that
image.
• Another appeal is the ability of non-hikers to enjoy the view of the Preserve from a
distance. This trail will have virtually no effect on that view.
Does it add to the diversity of the trail system?
• This trail is 0.9 miles in length (one way) and would be rated moderately easy. It has
easy access from the Promenade and provides a new hiking option, especially for
visitors not accustomed to, or wanting more strenuous hikes.
• The trail opens an area of the Preserve not currently accessible to the public.
What is the impact on trail density?
• This trail extends to an area of the Preserve with no existing trails. Therefore, it does
not add to localized trail density. Visibility to and from other trails is minimal.
What is the impact on bordering neighborhoods?
• There are a few lots bordering this area of the Preserve:
o Nine houses in Shadow Canyon.
o Six lots in Eagles Nest, none of which are developed.
The North Leg trail has been planned to minimize the visual impact on these residences.
What is the impact on wildlife in the Preserve?
• This portion of the Preserve is approximately 0.2 miles wide, with existing or planned
residential development on three sides. It is believed that the addition of a hiking trail
in this area will have minimal impact on any wildlife.
What is the level of effort to pursue i.e., trail building difficulty?
• Building this trail would be of similar difficulty as the Lower Sonoran and Lower
Ridgeline builds. For Trailblazers, this would be the shortest hike to the trail work,
approximately one-half mile.
10 | Page
What is the ability to use professional trail-building resources?
• The trail is connected to the Promenade. This is the most accessible of the trails to
transport trail building equipment, though it is expected that this trail will be built in the
traditional fashion of volunteer labor and hand tools only.
What is the availability of resources to build the trail?
• The SCFH Trailblazers leader has confirmed that Trailblazer volunteer labor will be
sufficient to construct this trail.
Upper Sonoran Trail – Initial Screening
This is a 1.2-mile trail from near the north end of the Sonoran Trail to the Western Loop Trail.
There is also a proposed leg leading back to the southern end of the Sonoran Trail.
What is the potential impact on the image of the Town of FH?
• One of the appeals of Fountain Hills is the Preserve and the ability of people to enjoy the
Preserve via a trail system. Additional hiking options in the Preserve will enhance that
image.
• Another appeal is the ability of non-hikers to enjoy the view of the Preserve from a
distance. This trail would not be visible from outside the Preserve.
Does it add to the diversity of the trail system?
• This trail is approximately 1.2 miles long and would be rated difficult. It connects the
eastern part of the Sonoran Trail to the Western Loop trail, with an option to rejoin the
Sonoran trail at the western end.
• The addition of this trail would provide many additional options for desirable loop hikes
when combined with the Western Loop, Sonoran, Lower Sonoran, and crossovers.
• The trail traverses a more rugged and remote portion of the Preserve, often with no
houses in view. It provides hikers with a very different experience than other trails in
the Preserve.
What is the impact on trail density?
• This trail extends through rugged terrain. Other than connection points to the Western
Loop and Sonoran Trails, no other trails are visible.
What is the impact on bordering neighborhoods?
• There are no houses impacted by this trail. It is in a remote area of the Preserve.
11 | Page
What is the impact on wildlife in the Preserve?
• This trail is in a more remote area of the Preserve. There is likely more wildlife in this
part of the Preserve but also more space for a trail to minimally impact the wildlife.
Additional assessment of this should be completed during the full vetting process.
What is the level of effort to pursue i.e., trail building difficulty?
• This is a more difficult trail to construct but could still be accomplished with volunteer
labor and hand tools only.
What is the ability to use professional trail-building resources?
• The trail is connected to the Sonoran Trail a short distance from the Promenade trail.
Trail building equipment could access this trail via the Promenade trail, then down the
Sonoran.
Quartz Trail Connector – Initial Screening
This is a 1.7-mile trail from the Quartz Trail in the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve to the
Upper Sonoran or Sonoran Trail in the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve.
The majority of this trail is in Scottsdale. The Fountain Hills portion of the trail would be only
300 feet if connected to the proposed Upper Sonoran or 0.25 miles if connected to the
Sonoran.
What is the potential impact on the image of the Town of FH?
• One of the appeals of Fountain Hills is the Preserve and the ability of people to enjoy the
Preserve via a trail system. Additional hiking options in the Preserve will enhance that
image.
• Another appeal is the ability of non-hikers to enjoy the view of the Preserve from a
distance. This trail would not be visible from outside the Preserve.
Does it add to the diversity of the trail system?
• This trail is approximately 1.7 miles long and would be rated difficult. It provides an
additional connection to the Scottsdale McDowell Mountain Preserve which opens the
possibility of many additional hiking options.
• It provides access to a rugged and remote portion of the Scottsdale Preserve, often with
no houses in view. It provides hikers with a very different experience than other trails in
the Preserve.
What is the impact on bordering neighborhoods?
• There are no houses impacted by this trail.
12 | Page
What is the level of effort to pursue i.e., trail building difficulty?
This is a very difficult trail to construct on the Scottsdale side. The Fountain Hills portion of this
trail would be relatively easy due to its short length.
What is the ability to use professional trail-building resources?
• Accessibility by trail building equipment is not clear, though it is unlikely to be used in
the Fountain Hills Preserve for this trail.
What is the impact on trail density?
• This trail extends through rugged terrain and towards the Scottsdale Preserve. Other
than the connection point to either the Upper Sonoran or Sonoran Trail, no other trails
are visible from this trail.
What is the impact on wildlife in the Preserve?
• Due to the short length of the Fountain Hills portion of the trail, there would be minimal
impact on wildlife in the Preserve. The impact on wildlife on the Scottsdale side would
be addressed by Scottsdale.
North Leg Loop – Initial Screening
This is an extension of the North Leg Trail connecting back near the Adero Canyon Trailhead.
This would be a 2.6-mile loop hike from Adero Canyon Trailhead.
What is the potential impact on the image of the Town of FH?
• One of the appeals of Fountain Hills is the Preserve and the ability of people to enjoy the
Preserve via a trail system. Additional hiking options in the Preserve will enhance that
image.
• Another appeal is the ability of non-hikers to enjoy the view of the Preserve from a
distance. This trail would have limited visibility from nine houses in Shadow Canyon.
Does it add to the diversity of the trail system?
• This trail would provide a loop option to the North Leg.
• It would also provide an additional path from Adero Canyon Trailhead for hikers to
disperse.
What is the impact on trail density?
• This extension to the North leg increases trail density near the Adero Canyon Trailhead.
The visibility to and from other trails, including the Promenade trail, is minor except for
near the Trailhead.

What is the impact on bordering neighborhoods?
• This trail would have limited visibility from nine houses in Shadow Canyon.
What is the impact on wildlife in the Preserve?
• This portion of the Preserve is approximately 0.2 miles wide, with existing or planned
residential development on three sides. It is believed that the addition of a hiking trail
in this area will have minimal impact on any wildlife.
What is the level of effort to pursue i.e., trail building difficulty?
• Building this trail would be of similar difficulty as the Lower Sonoran and Lower
Ridgeline builds. For Trailblazers, this would be the shortest hike to the trail work,
starting just outside the Trailhead.
What is the ability to use professional trail-building resources?
• The trail begins near the Adero Canyon Trailhead, and so is the most accessible of the
trails for trail building equipment access.
Sunridge Loop – Initial Screening
What is the potential impact on the image of the Town of FH?
• One of the appeals of Fountain Hills is the Preserve and the ability of people to enjoy the
Preserve via a trail system. Additional hiking options in the Preserve will enhance that
image.
• Another appeal is the ability of non-hikers to enjoy the view of the Preserve from a
distance. This trail would be visible from the Sunridge golf course area.
Does it add to the diversity of the trail system?
• This trail is an extension of the Ridgeline trail and is approximately 0.9 miles long. It
would be rated difficult.
• The trail provides additional scenic views of the Sunridge golf course, the Fountain, and
a bird’s eye view of the Town. The addition of this loop increases hiking options when
combined with the Ridgeline and Lower Ridgeline trails.
What is the impact on trail density?
• This trail extends to an area of the Preserve with no other trails. No other trails would
be visible from this trail.

Summary
The MMPC believes the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve has evolved to the point
that a long-term trail master plan is warranted. Such a plan serves to provide a coordinated
approach to possible future trails that will serve to achieve the Preserve Master Plan goal:
“To provide the public opportunity to explore all directions within the Preserve.”
while ensuring that the overall Preserve trail system achieves the best balance possible
between preservation of the Preserve and availability to the public.
The MMPC will present recommendations for approval by the Town Council of each new trail
identified in this Trail Master Plan one at a time, and only after each has been fully vetted and
potential resources to construct each trail are identified.

APPENDIX
IDEA FLOW AND MMPC IDEA VETTING PROCESS
The following idea qualification process was adopted by the MMPC in 2019.
This process would be applied as additional consideration filters following compliance
with the Guiding Principles and used by the working groups to assess new ideas and
issues.
Step 1 - VETTING:
1. Does it meet the Guiding Principles?
2. Does it complement or conflict with our mission to preserve the Preserve?
3. Does it consider the source - Town, Community, SCFH, within MMPC? (Town source
should take priority)
4. What problem does it solve or what need does it satisfy?
5. What are the funding requirements? (both capital and expense as well as necessary
or long-term funding sources)
6. What is the level of effort to pursue? (Is it achievable within the means of the
MMPC?)
Step 2 – APPROVAL (presented by Working Group at a monthly MMPC meeting)
1. Outline the problem or need.
2. Provide several possible scenarios with pros and cons for each.
3. If appropriate, provide a recommendation for approval/disapproval.
Step 3 – PRIORITIZATION (once approved)
1. Are there time constraints in implementing the idea? (Budget deadlines, seasonal
considerations, resource availability, etc.)
2. Will funding complexities affect completion?
Trail Master Plan
MMPC presentation 05 April 2022

Meeting Date: 04/19/2022 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Community Services
Prepared by: Patti Lopuszanski, Executive Assistant
Staff Contact Information: Rachael Goodwin, Community Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION AND
POSSIBLE ACTION: Resolution 2022-10 approving the construction of the North Leg Trail.
Staff Summary (Background)
The North Leg Trail is contained within the Town-owned McDowell Mountain Preserve. It is an out and
back route from the Promenade Trail, extending into the north arm of the Preserve. The trail length is
0.9 miles one way. It is a 2.8-mile round trip hike from Adero Canyon Trailhead. The proposed trail has
been evaluated by the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission using the adopted vetting
standards, as noted below:
What is the potential impact on the image of the Town of FH?
One of the appeals of Fountain Hills is the McDowell Mountain Preserve and the ability of people
to enjoy the Preserve via a trail system. Additional hiking options in the Preserve will enhance that
image.
Another appeal is the ability of non-hikers to enjoy the view of the Preserve from a distance. This
trail will have virtually no effect on that view.
Does it add to the diversity of the trail system?
This trail is 0.9 miles in length (one way) and would be rated moderately easy. It has easy access
from the Promenade and provides a new hiking option, especially for visitors not accustomed to,
or wanting more strenuous hikes.
The trail opens an area of the McDowell Mountain Preserve not currently accessible to the public.
What is the impact on trail density?
This trail extends to an area of the McDowell Mountain Preserve with no existing trails.
Therefore, it does not add to localized trail density. Visibility to and from other trails is minimal.
What is the impact on bordering neighborhoods?
There are a few lots bordering this area of the McDowell Mountain Preserve:
Nine houses in Shadow Canyon.
Six lots in Eagles Nest, none of which are developed.
The North Leg trail has been planned to minimize the visual impact on these residences.
What is the impact on wildlife in the McDowell Mountain Preserve?
This portion of the Preserve is approximately 0.2 miles wide, with existing or planned residential
development on three sides. It is believed that the addition of a hiking trail in this area will have
minimal impact on any wildlife.
What is the level of effort to pursue i.e., trail building difficulty?
Building this trail would be of similar difficulty as the Lower Sonoran and Lower Ridgeline builds.
For Trailblazers, this would be the shortest hike to the trail work, approximately one-half mile.
What is the ability to use professional trail-building resources?
The trail is connected to the Promenade. This is the most accessible of the trails to transport trail
building equipment, though it is expected that this trail will be built in the traditional fashion of
volunteer labor and hand tools only.
What is the availability of resources to build the trail?
The SCFH Trailblazers leader has confirmed that Trailblazer volunteer labor will be sufficient to
construct this trail.

Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION AND
POSSIBLE ACTION: Approving the PlaySpace Designs Contract 2021-048.1 Amendment for the addition
of two ramadas at Four Peaks Park.
Staff Summary (Background)
Four Peaks Park's multi-year Captial Improvement Project is nearing completion. As part of the final
stage, staff is recommending the installation of two 20’x20’ steel ramadas to be added as picnic areas
around the redeveloped playground. The ramadas are designed with a nine-foot clearance and
edge-to-edge support structure to create the widest shade area possible. Existing picnic tables and trash
receptacles will be added to the space to create shaded, rentable areas for community use.
The Town currently utilizes the Mohave Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for Play Space Designs.
Staff is requesting an increase of $65,000.00 to the existing Play Space Design contract to complete this
purchase and installation of the ramadas. Funding for this purchase is available with the approved
Capital Improvement Plan and remains within the project budget.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: 04/19/2022 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Development Services
Prepared by: John Wesley, Development Services Director
Staff Contact Information: John Wesley, Development Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION AND
POSSIBLE ACTION: regarding an amended site plan for Park Place Phase II (16845 E. Avenue of the
Fountains) and Phase III (13000 block of N. Verde River, west side).
Staff Summary (Background)
Background
The Town Council gave consideration to a site plan for Phases II and III of Park Place at their March 1,
2022, meeting. The Council was not satisfied that the site plan presented meet the recommendation of
the Planning and Zoning Commission and that it did not fully meet the requirements of the
Development Agreement. Therefore, the Council voted to deny that site plan.
Since that meeting the applicant has revised the site plan to address the concerns and meet the
requirements of the Development agreement. This has been placed back on the Council agenda for
consideration of this revised site plan.
Site Plan Review
Phase II Site Plan:
The site plan for Phase II contains two buildings, E & F. Building E is immediately east of the existing
Park Place building along the Avenue of the Fountains. Building F is at the corner of Avenue of the
Fountains and Saguaro. The project is designed with an underground parking structure. The next level
up for Building E will be an 8,000 sq. ft. non-residential space as required in the TCCD facing Avenue of
the Fountains. There will still be ground floor residential on the south side of the building. Both
buildings have three floors of residential apartments, all internally loaded from a central hallway. There
is a community space that connects the two buildings above the breezeway between the two buildings.
The site plan provided with the application is consistent with the concept provided with the Land Use
Plan. The current site plan has been modified, however, to move the parking underground.
Site plan components:
Parking. As part of the 2016 review and approval, a shared use parking study was completed.
That study was used to allow a 20% parking reduction and also to allow adjacent on-street spaces
to be counted toward the required parking. Based on those requirements, Buildings E and
F should provide a total of 162 parking spaces (136 for residential uses and 26 for the commercial
space; based on non-restaurant parking requirements). 161 on-site spaces and 28 off-site spaces
have been provided. There are three parking areas shown on the site plan: on-street along the
Avenue of the Fountains, a small surface lot south of Building E, and an underground parking
area. Access to the underground parking is through the driveway that connect to Verde River
Drive.
Elevations. The elevations are primarily stucco with some accent areas of cultured stone veneer
and honed masonry. There is significant play in the facades and building heights to create
interest in the building. The primary colors for the buildings will be four shades of white and
gray. Accent colors for some stucco, railings and stairs will be black and an orange. (Note the
attached documents include black and white elevations of the most recent design. Color
elevations are provided from the previous design to show the intended material and color pattern
for the buildings.)
The ground floor uses in Building E will all be non-residential. Beginning at the western end of
Building E, the finish floor elevation of the ground floor commercial floor will be approximately
3.5' below grade; on the eastern end it will be approximately 3.5' above grade. Continuing east,
the building front will be very similar to the buildings to the west with full visibility and access to
the commercial space. This design is consistent with the General Plan or Downtown Area specific
Plan which envisions an active ground-floor uses and transparency.
Phase III Site Plan:
The site plan for Phase III contains one building. The building has three floors of apartments; the
apartments on the third floor units include an upper loft level making them two-story in height. The
proposed building contains 102 apartments, this is the same number shown on the Land Use Master
Plan. The building is placed over 60' back from the Verde River right-of-way. This site plan includes an
Art Walk that will connect Paul Nordin Parkway to the Community Center Campus. These units will
provide much needed housing for the downtown area.
Site plan components:
Parking. The zoning ordinance would require 218 parking spaces for this number of units. The
allowed 20% reduction places a requirement of 174 spaces; 141 "on-site" spaces are provided. In
addition, there are 50 spaces in the adjacent parking area next to the Art Walk to meet the
requirements of the DA for the New Town Parking Lots. The DA requires 130 spaces in the New
Town Parking Lots. Due to various requirements outside the control of the developer, the New
Town Parking lot west of Building C ended up with just 53 spaces, leaving a requirement for 77
spaces; only 50 are provided leaving the site 27 spaces short of what is required by the DA. There
is one covered space per unit "on-site" plus an additional 39 uncovered spaces. There is a good
possibility residents and/or visitors to this property will need to utilize the spaces in the Town
parking lot along the Art Walk.
Elevations. The building exterior is primarily stucco with a white and three shades of gray. Some
areas of accent cultured stone veneer are also provided. Accent color for balconies, railing and
awnings is a shade of red and a shade of orange. Elevations consistent with the revised floor
plans have been provided.
Art Walk. A requirement of this development is the provision of an "Art Walk" on the Town
owned property from the corner of Verde River and Paul Nordin Parkway to the Community
Center. A conceptual plan is shown that has a center seating area with some shade and the
walkway through the area. A more detailed plan will be required as part of the permitting
process.
Miscellaneous
Fountain Hills Sanitary District Monitoring well. There is an existing monitoring well in the
right-of-way along the curve at the street intersection next to where the access is proposed to the
Town parking lot. Continuous power will be needed to this well and final plans will need to
ensure any underground storm water storage will not impact the monitoring wells.
Paul Nordin Parkway right-of-way. The right-of-way for the extension of Paul Nordin Parkway still
exists through this site. The south half of the parking spaces just south of the building and the
nest two rows of parking are in this right-of-way. Because this area is proposed for private use,
including covered parking, the right-of-way should be abandoned. When this happens the north
have would become part of the lot to the north and the south have to the Town property to the
south. The developer has applied for this abandonment. This abandonment will need to occur
prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy on the property.
Parking Easement and Maintenance. The proposed site plan includes development on public
property. The DA requires an easement and maintenance agreement for this private use of the
public property. The documents will need to be prepared and filed prior to issuance of a
certificate of occupancy on the property.
At the beginning of the site plan review process, the applicant brought forward an initial site plan that
they believed was responsive to current market conditions by not having the ground floor
non-residential uses in Building E. Because this was not compliant with the DA the Council rejected that
site plan. The applicant has now provided a plan that is compliant with the DA, but it will be a challenge
in meeting the time frame for review and issuance of the building permits.

Risk Analysis
N/A
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and discussed this site plan at their February 14, 2022,
regular meeting. Staff and the applicant made presentations and provided the Commission with
information regarding the proposed development. Two citizens spoke regarding the proposed
development.
During their discussion Commission members expressed some concern for the lack of detail provided,
the nature of the commercial space that is being added to Building E, and the reduction in the area for
the Art Walk. There was also a desire to see continuity between the existing and new buildings, Mr.
Shea stated his intention to repaint the existing buildings with the colors proposed for the new buildings

Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Development Services
Prepared by: John Wesley, Development Services Director
Staff Contact Information: John Wesley, Development Services Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION AND
POSSIBLE ACTION: Resolution 2022-16, Second Amendment to the Development Agreement between
the Town and Palisades Resorts, LLC regarding an extension of time for further development of
Copperwynd (aka Adero Scottsdale)
Staff Summary (background)
Applicant: Sarah Nolan, Palisades Resorts, LLC
Owner: Palisades Resorts, LLC
Property Location: 13225 N. Eagle Ridge Dr.
In March 2017 the Town reviewed and approved a rezoning and a Development Agreement (Resolution
2017-07, approved March 16, 2017) to allow for the expansion of the Copperwynd Resort on Eagle
Ridge Drive. The development agreement was amended in September 2017 (Resolution 2017-27,
approved September 5, 2017) to clarify a few points. Together, the Planned Area Development (PAD)
zoning and the development agreement allow:
Up to 19 rooms per acre to a maximum of 300 rooms
Building height up to 50'
Reduced building setbacks of 20'
Outdoor entertainment, subject to meeting the Town's noise ordinance
Shared parking
Maintaining a minimum 15% open space
A phasing plan that to allow portions of the development to occur over time -
Phase 1 - 140 rooms and approximately 7,890 square feet of convention space to be
completed by March 2020
Phase 2 - 110 rooms to be completed by March 2023
Phase 3 - 50 rooms and approximately 3,870 square feet of convention space to be
completed by March 2027
Section 1 of the development agreement sets the effective date as the date of approval of the PAD and
development agreement and a term of 10 years. It also provides for a 10-year extension, in the Town's
sole discretion.
Phase 1 of the resort opened just as the COVID-19 pandemic was getting started. This has slowed the
start-up of the first phase and building the occupancy that would warrant moving forward with Phase
2. By the schedule, the Phase 2 site plan should already be submitted for review and approval. Given
the state of the hotel and resort industry from the pandemic, the owner is asking for a modification to
the development agreement to allow an extension of the time frames for each phase and for terms of
the agreement.
The owner is asking that five years be added to the term and to each of the subsequent phases of the
development. With this change, Phase 2 would need to be completed by March 2028 and Phase 3 by
March 2032.
The Town approved the PAD and development agreement in anticipation of the additional recognition
and economic benefit it would bring to the Town. As the expansion of the resort was underway, the
owner entered into an agreement with Marriott Corporation to be part of its hotel chain. Through that
process the name of the hotel was changed from Copperwynd to Adero Scottsdale which resulted in a
Scottsdale mailing address. Much of the online advertising for the facility has emphasized Scottsdale.
While reviewing this request to extend the development agreement, staff has asked the applicant over
the last few months to increase the recognition that the hotel is in and part of Fountain Hills. Some
changes have been made and are shown on the attached document.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS AND
PALISADES RESORTS, LLC
(ADERO RESORT EXPANSION)
This Second Amendment to Development Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) is
entered into as of April 19, 2022, by PALISADES RESORTS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Palisades”), and the TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, an Arizona municipal
corporation (“Town”), which are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” or individually as
a “Party.”
RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into that certain Development Agreement dated March 16,
2017, Maricopa County Recorder’s No. 2017-0203700, in connection with the further
development and expansion of the “Existing Resort” located at 13225 N. Eagle Ridge Drive,

2017-0668801 (collectively the “Development Agreement”).
B. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Development Agreement.
C. As a result of global events outside of the Parties’ control that prevented and
prohibited Palisades from performing its obligations under the Development Agreement, Palisades
desires to extend the term of the Development Agreement and all ancillary deadlines for a period
of sixty (60) months in order to fulfill its obligations in a timely manner.
D. The Town is willing to agree to the extended term and ancillary deadlines as
provided herein.
E. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-500.05(C), the Parties now desire to amend the
Development Agreement according to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing introduction and recitals, the
promises contained in this Second Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, the Parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Modified Term. Section 1 of the Development Agreement is hereby deleted
in its entirety and is replaced as follows:
1. Effective Date, Term. This Agreement shall be effective only upon the
execution by both Parties and upon approval of the PAD Rezoning by the Town Council of the

purposes of calculating the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement, the Effective Date set forth
above shall be deemed the first day of this Agreement. Palisades, its successors and assigns, shall
have the right to implement development on the Property in accordance with this Agreement for a
period of 15 years from the Effective Date. However, unless terminated by the Town pursuant to
Section 9 hereof prior to the expiration of such initial 15-year period, this Agreement may be
extended for an additional period of 10 years in the Town Council’s sole direction, at the end of
which time (which shall, in the aggregate, be 25 years), this Agreement shall automatically
terminate as to the Property without the necessity of any notice, agreement or recording by or
between the Parties (the “Term”); provided, however, that provisions of this Agreement that
specifically survive the termination of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, subject
only to the termination provisions herein specifically related thereto; provided further, however,
that if Palisades fails to materially fulfill any portion of its obligations as set forth in Section 8
below by the deadline for performance associated with each such obligation, this Agreement shall
immediately terminate upon expiration of the applicable cure period without further act by the
Town Council.
2. Schedule of Performance. The Parties hereby agree that Palisades shall have an
additional sixty (60) months to fully perform its obligations for Phase 2 of the Project.
Accordingly, Exhibit E of the Development Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is
replaced with Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof.
3. Consistency; Modification. Except as modified by this Second Amendment, all
of the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
This Second Amendment and the Development Agreement shall not be further modified in any
manner other than by a written amendment executed by the Town and Palisades or its successors
or assigns. If any clause, sentence or other portion of this Second Amendment shall become
illegal, null or void for any reason, or shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
so, the remaining portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.
4. Non-Default. By executing this Second Amendment, Palisades affirmatively
asserts that (i) the Town is not currently in default, nor has been in default at any time prior to this
Second Amendment, under any of the terms or conditions of the Development Agreement and (ii)
any and all claims, known and unknown, relating to the Development Agreement and existing on
or before the date of this Second Amendment are forever waived.
5. Successors and Assigns. This Second Amendment shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the respective parties.
6. Conflict of Interest. This Second Amendment is subject to the provisions of
ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 38-511. The Town may cancel this Second Amendment without penalty or
further obligations by the Town or any of its departments or agencies if any person significantly

involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating this agreement on behalf of the
Town or any of its departments or agencies is, at any time while the agreement or any extension
of the agreement is in effect, an employee of any other party to the agreement in any capacity or a

Meeting Date: 04/19/2022 Meeting Type: Town Council Regular Meeting
Agenda Type: Regular Agenda Submitting Department: Public Works
Prepared by: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Staff Contact Information: Justin Weldy, Public Works Director
Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language): CONSIDERATION AND
POSSIBLE ACTION: of approving the Second Amendment to Cooperative Purchase
Agreement C2022-027 between the Town and Franklin Striping, INC for pavement marking.
Staff Summary (Background)
The formation of the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee in early 2019 provided an opportunity for
staff to receive input, guidance, and direction from Councilmembers, the Town Manager, and the Town
Engineer on implementing additional safety features for streets and sidewalks, including enhanced
pavement markings. Direction from the committee has produced positive results that include the
addition of continental crosswalk striping (wide piano key striping at all marked crosswalks), reflective
thermoplastic for longitudinal markings, rumble strips at key locations, and raised pavement markers on
all arterial and collector streets.
Additional measures have included more frequently refreshed striping of existing lane lines on arterials
and collector streets throughout the Town. As a result of these new and enhanced safety measures,
staff is requesting an increase in the contract for pavement makings, reflectors, rumble strips, and other
similar safety features from $50,000.00 annually to $100,000.00 annually.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle
The Public Works Department is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Fountain Hills by ensuring
the construction of quality infrastructure and maintenance of roadways, sidewalks and traffic control
devices.
Risk Analysis
Highly reflective pavement markings play an important role in providing guidance and information to
the public when driving on Town streets. Failure to increase the contract amount could delay the
maintenance and implementation of pavement markings for streets and crosswalks.
Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s)
This request is consistent with recommendations previously made by the Council Subcommittee on
Pedestrian and Traffic Safety relating to pavement markings and other enhancements.
Staff Recommendation(s)
Staff recommends approval of the Second Amendment to contract C2022-027 between the Town
and Franklin Striping, INC.
SUGGESTED MOTION
MOVE to approve the Second Amendment to contract C2022-027 with Franklin Striping, INC, in the
amount of $100,000.00, annually.

After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement may be renewed for up to four successive one-year terms (the “Renewal Term”) if: (i) it is deemed in the best interests of the Town, subject to availability and appropriation of funds for renewal in each
2
subsequent year, (ii) the term of the County Contract has not expired or has been extended, (iii) at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term of this Agreement, the Contractor requests, in writing, to extend this Agreement for an additional one-year term and (iv) the Town approves the
additional one-year term in writing (including any price adjustments approved as part of the County Contract), as evidenced by the Town Manager’s signature thereon, which approval may be withheld by the Town for any reason. The Contractor’s failure to seek a renewal of this Agreement shall cause this Agreement to terminate at the end of the then-current term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Town may, at its discretion and with the agreement of the Contractor, elect to
waive this requirement and renew this Agreement. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are collectively referred to herein as the “Term.” Upon renewal, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 3.

this Second Amendment, under any of the terms or conditions of the Agreement and (ii) any and
all claims, known and unknown, relating to the Agreement and existing on or before the date of this Second Amendment are forever waived. 5. Israel. Contractor certifies that it is not currently engaged in, and agrees for the
duration of this Agreement that it will not engage in a “boycott,” as that term is defined in Ariz.
Rev. Stat. § 35-393, of Israel. 6. Conflict of Interest. This Second Amendment and the Agreement may be cancelled by the Town pursuant to Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 38-511.

2.5.4 Construction Requirements
2.5.4.1 Contractor shall ensure that the portion of the highway to which the raised
pavement markers are to be attached shall be free of dirt, curing
compound, grease, oil, moisture, loose or unsound layers and any other
material which could adversely affect the bond of the adhesive. In
addition, the pavement must be clean and dry, therefore, contractor shall
ensure that adhesive is not applied within 24 hours of rainfall prior to
application. The method of cleaning the pavement surface and removal
of detrimental material is subject to approval by the engineer and shall
include sweeping and the use of high-pressure air spray.
2.5.4.2 Contractor may apply pressure sensitive adhesive raised pavement
markers to new paved asphalt surfaces immediately following the final
compaction of the asphalt surface by the finishing roller, however
contractor shall use caution to prevent embedment of raised pavement
markers into the fresh, soft asphalt that would limit the visibility of the lens
face. Embedment into the fresh asphalt surface should be limited to the
thickness of the pressure sensitive adhesive pad.
2.5.4.3 Contractor shall not place markers on asphalt that is showing signs of
deterioration, cracking or failure.
2.5.4.4 Contractor shall have the curing compound removed prior to application
of the pressure sensitive raised pavement marker on new concrete
surfaces that have been open to traffic for less than 90 days. The curing
compound may be removed by sandblasting, or other methods such as
hydro-blasting or grinding as approved by the engineer.
2.5.4.5 Contractor shall ensure that chip seal surfaces are swept of excess
aggregate and have been open to traffic for 30 days prior to installation
of the markers. Markers should not be installed on chip seal surfaces with
large, void spaces and/or loose aggregate with a weak bond to the
underlying road surface.
2.5.4.6 Contractor shall ensure that slurry seal and fog seal surfaces are allowed
to completely cool and cure. In general, 24 hours is sufficient time to allow
placement of the markers. Excess sand applied to soak up surface
emulsions must be swept clean prior to installation of the markers.
2.5.4.7 When installation involves a separate adhesive product, the contractor
shall place the adhesive uniformly on the cleaned pavement surface in
an amount sufficient to result in complete coverage of the area of contact
of the markers, with no voids present and with slight excess after the
markers have been placed. The markers shall be placed in position and
SERIAL 210109-S
pressure applied until firm contact is made with the pavement. The
markers shall be protected against impact until the adhesive has set to
the degree acceptable to the engineer.
2.5.4.8 Contractor shall immediately remove excess adhesive on the pavement
and on the exposed surfaces of the markers. Contractor shall not use
thinners or solvents which may be detrimental to either the markers or
the bond provided by the adhesive in removing excess adhesive.
2.5.4.9 Contractors shall not install markers when the temperature of the
pavement surface or the atmosphere is less than 60ºF, when the relative
humidity is 80 percent or higher or when the pavement is not dry.
Contractor shall not apply markers within 24 hours of rainfall prior to
application.
2.5.4.10 Contractors shall install all markers to the line approved by the engineer
and in such a manner that the reflective face of the markers is
perpendicular to a line parallel to the roadway centerline. No raised
pavement markers shall be installed over longitudinal or traverse joints or
seams of the pavement surface. No raised pavement markers shall be
installed over existing pavement markings such as paint, thermoplastic,
or preformed tapes.
2.6 PAVEMENT MARKING REMOVAL
Contractor shall remove all conflicting pavement markings, in conformance with hazardous
waste disposal regulations, to include raised pavement markers, chip seal tabs, pavement
tape, barrier/guardrail markers, and any other necessary traffic control devices deemed
necessary by the engineer. All pavement markings shall be recovered from the roadway
by vacuum method. Removed pavement markers and debris resulting from the removed
markings shall be collected and disposed by the contractor.

pavement caused by pavement marking removal. When contractor uses asphalt
slurry to repair damage to the pavement caused by pavement marking removal or
the obliteration of the marks remaining after the markings have been removed,
contractor shall place the asphalt slurry parallel to the new direction of travel and
shall not be less than two feet in width.
2.7 PAVEMENT PREPARATION
2.7.1 It shall be the contractor’s responsibility to determine what type of pavement
markings currently exists on the project to be done and determine the appropriate
SERIAL 210109-S
method of removal. The final decision for the method of removal must be approved
by the Engineer first.
2.7.2 Contractor shall repair, by methods acceptable to the engineer, any damage to
the pavement caused by pavement marking removal. When contractor uses

removal or the obliteration of the marks remaining after the markings have been
removed, contractor shall place the asphalt slurry parallel to the new direction of
travel and shall not be less than two feet in width.
2.7.3 It will be the contractor’s responsibility to prepare the roadway surface for the
installation of striping and raised pavement markers. Contractor shall cover up all
raised pavement markers when slurry seal and fog seal is used. This may include
sweeping/brooming, (manually or by machine), blading (removing mud or dirt), and
any other cleaning of the road-way surface to ensure proper installation of striping
and markers. (Example: removal of oil, grease.)
2.7.4 Contractors shall not use of self-adhesive markers.
2.7.5 Contractors will be given a Notice to Proceed for each project. At the time of

2.9 FUEL COST PRICE ADJUSTMENT
2.9.1 This provision provides for limited increased or decreased costs of motor fuels
(fuels) used to perform services under this contract. This provision does not apply
to burner fuel (i.e. propane, natural gas, fuel oil, used motor oil). It applies to motor
fuel only. Fuel cost adjustments may be either positive or negative. A positive fuel
cost adjustment will result in an increase in payments to contractor while a negative
fuel cost adjustment will result in a decrease in payments to contractor.
2.9.2 This provision is intended to minimize risk to both parties to this contract due to
fuel cost fluctuations that may occur during the term of this contract. This provision
is not designed to estimate actual quantities of fuel used in providing services
under this contract, but to provide a reasonable basis for calculating a fuel cost
adjustment based on average conditions.
2.9.3 Application of this provision will come into effect upon contractor submittal of a fuel
cost adjustment request. A request may be submitted only when the increased
cost of fuel, established as a percentage of total contract price (base fuel cost)
upon award of this contract, exceeds 10 percent of the base fuel cost. The
contractor may request a fuel surcharge no more than four times annually, during
the month(s) of March, June, September and December. The request must be
submitted no later than the 10th of the month. Any surcharge shall be effective the
first of the following month after receipt and approval. The date of County approval
of a fuel cost adjustment request shall become the base date for any future
contractor adjustment requests.
2.9.4 Contractor shall include, as part of its price bid, the percentage of total contract
price fuel represents (e.g., fuel cost equals 10 percent of contractor cost) (see also,
Attachment A, Vendor Information). This percentage will represent and establish
the base fuel cost for this contract. The base fuel cost shall be established as the
due date for submission of proposals for this contract. All subsequent fuel cost
adjustments shall be based upon the date the County approves a contractor’s
request for fuel cost adjustment (e.g. if fuel cost adjustment is approved by County
on January 1, 2006, January 1, 2006 becomes base date for any next contractor
request for adjustment).
2.9.5 Fuel Cost Application Requirement. The contractor must provide documentation
including type of motor fuel and fuel invoices with price of the fuel used in providing
services under this contract, from the month bids were due and the month of the
cost adjustment request, with any fuel cost adjustment application. The fuel cost
adjustment application must be completed with all applicable data and signed by
the contractor.
2.9.6 The fuel surcharge shall be based on the current quarterly index of the West Coast
(PADD5) Diesel (On-Highway)-All Types or Reformulated Areas Gasoline

The Arizona League of Cities and Towns has requested its member agencies to identify policy issues for
consideration by the League's various policy committees. The policy committees will review the
submitted policy issues and make recommendations on their future development. Some of these issues

requested that the Mayor and Council identify and provide policy proposals to staff that can be
submitted to the Arizona League of Cities and Towns. Policy submissions will generally consist of
changes to state law to make it possible for cities and towns to be more effective in serving our
residents, but can also include policy recommendations that can be accomplished through model local
ordinances, best practices, or other methodologies. The deadlines to submit the policy ideas
are Tuesday, April 26 and Tuesday, May 31, so that the committees have sufficient time to discuss and
take action on the proposals to forward to the Resolutions Committee.
Based on the Town Council's adopted 2022 Legislative Policy Agenda and Town Council positions on bills
taken during the 2022 session of the Arizona State Legislature, the Town Council may wish to consider

League of Arizona Cities and Towns Policy Committees and Resolutions Process Overview
2022
Overview
The Policy Committee framework was established to give city and town elected officials and
staff the opportunity to provide direction and expertise on proposed policy issues that come to
the League. After submitted policy issues are discussed and vetted in the appropriate policy
committee, they may become a League Resolution, be referred for further study or they may
have a non-legislative solution.
Issues must be submitted by the deadlines set forth each year. This gives the committee members
and League staff ample time to study the issues and formulate solutions. If the committee
recommends that the issue should be developed into a League Resolution, the issue must be
provided to all cities and towns before the League Annual Conference in August/September so
that individual cities and towns may consider them prior to the Resolutions Committee Meeting.
To adhere to this schedule, all policy issues must be submitted no later than a week before the
policy committees meet.
Policy Committee Membership
The Policy Committee chairs are members of the Executive Committee and are selected by the
President of the League. The chairs will select their membership based on applications.
Municipal elected officials and staff are eligible to apply for a position on a Policy Committee by
submitting their interest to: resolutions@azleague.org. In addition, an individual city or town
may have only one vote on each committee; and only elected officials can vote on the direction
of the policy issue. Staff may participate in the discussion and offer their expertise but cannot
vote on the proposal. Committee membership is for one year, but members may re-apply to a
committee for another term.
Submission of Policy Issues
Cities and towns may submit policy issues any time of the year. The Policy Committee to which
the issue is assigned will decide if the issue becomes a formal resolution. The Vice President of
the League assigns policy submissions to one or more policy committees. To submit your policy
issue, please use the special form provided by the League below.
2
Policy Committee Actions
Policy Committees will meet in May and June. The meetings are open for anyone to attend,
however only one elected official from each city on that committee may vote. The committee
may choose to advance the policy submission as a formal resolution, assign the submission to
further study, or propose a non-legislative solution. Outside experts may be invited to provide
additional input. The sponsoring city or town is responsible to present their case for their
submission at the policy committee.
Each chair shall prepare a report of their activities and the formal resolutions to the full
Resolutions Committee as a part of the Annual Conference packet. In addition, each Committee
Chair shall provide a verbal report to the Resolutions Committee. Only resolutions put forward
by the Policy Committees will be voted on at the Resolutions Committee during the Annual
Conference.
Resolutions Committee
Each member city or town shall receive a Resolutions Packet in preparation for the Annual
Conference and shall have a seat at the committee with either the mayor or a council member as
their voting representative. The Policy Committee chairs shall provide their reports and the
Resolutions Chair shall facilitate the meeting. The sponsoring city/town may be called upon to
provide additional information on a Resolution. Resolutions adopted at the Resolutions
Committee will be forwarded to the Annual Business Meeting for formal ratification.
Municipal Policy Statement
The adopted resolutions become the basis of the Municipal Policy Statement, the League’s
legislative priorities for the following legislative session. The statement is used to educate
legislators on the League’s highest priorities for that year.
3
Policy Issue Submittal Form
Please use this form to submit your policy issue. The issue will be vetted by the relevant Policy
Committee, and may become a formal Resolution, or may go on for further discussion with a
non-legislative solution.
Guidelines
There are two types of resolutions:
1)Statements requesting a specific action, such as requesting that the Legislature enact a
statute relating to a zoning issue.
2)Statements of general policy direction, such as supporting increases for transportation
funding.
The resolutions process is designed for issues that impact a broad cross section of cities
and towns. Single city/town issues are not generally part of the League’s overall agenda.
Policy Issue
Please state the problem or issue.
Please state the solution you are promoting for your issue.

Town of Fountain Hills
2022 State Legislative Agenda
CORE PRINCIPLES
Preserve Local Funding
PROTECT State-Shared Revenues – Arizona voters have prohibited municipalities from
collecting a local income tax and luxury taxes and, in exchange, have authorized the
establishment of an urban revenue-sharing distribution of state income taxes to municipal
governments. Currently that percentage is 15%, however in 2021 the Legislature passed
SB1828 which increased revenue-share percentage to 18%, effective in fiscal year 2023-2024.
SB1828 is now on hold pending a final ruling from the Arizona Supreme Court as to the
constitutionality of this and other 2021 legislative actions and, depending on the outcome, this
could put pressure on the Arizona Legislature to revisit the provisions of the new law.
Preserve Local Control
OPPOSE Preemption of Local Authority – The Town strives to preserve local control so that
its citizens can self-govern in their best interest. Every legislative session legislation is
proposed that creates unfunded mandates on cities and towns and/or preempts the ability of
municipal councils to set policy through ordinances and regulations at the local level which are
in the best interest of their citizens and taxpayers. Often times this is a “one-size-fits-all”
legislative approach that doesn’t consider the differences in municipalities or the priorities of the
residents. Such efforts should be opposed.
2021 Key Positions
PRESERVE the current minimum urban revenue sharing percentage for cities and towns
at 15%.
OPPOSE legislation to modify or expand legislative authority to seek SB1487
investigations by legislators pertinent to municipal authorities and to expand any
applicable penalties.
SUPPORT legislation addressing the negative impacts short-term rental properties can
have on adjacent properties and neighborhoods.
SUPPORT legislation that at a minimum will prohibit, on all days, the use of permissible
consumer fireworks between the hours of 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM.

AZ League Legislative Bulletin: Issue 10 –March 18, 2022
Legislative Update:
Today is the 68th day of the legislative session. Next week’s agendas are lengthier as it
is the last opportunity to consider bills in committee. Bills that do not pass committee in
the opposite chamber will ultimately not move forward. Lawmakers are scrambling to
ensure measures clear this hurdle.
There were speculations of a special session on tax cuts earlier in the week. While the
Legislature could call themselves into special session, one to enact a repeal and replace
the previous year’s tax cuts would require the Governor to issue the call as lawmakers
are unlikely to reach the vote threshold needed to call themselves into special session.
Another matter on the table is an issue related to precinct committeemen (PC) elections.
HB 2839, an emergency measure that was fast-tracked a few weeks ago to bring clarity
to the number of signatures required for candidate nominations, passed unanimously and
has already been signed into law. The measure included provisions that would
temporarily eliminate elections for precinct committeemen due to the delay and
complications from the census. Republican PCs are asking lawmakers to undo the
changes made in HB 2839 and restore local PC elections. Undoing the law, however,
would require a two-thirds vote from each chamber for the bill to become effective
immediately. There is speculation that lawmakers will consider this issue as a topic to
address during a special session, among other topics including water and elections
issues.
Lobbying Prohibition
SB 1166 public employers; union contracts was considered in House Commerce on
Tuesday. As passed by the Senate, the measure included provisions that could have
prohibited cities and towns from hiring representation to advocate for their community’s
interests with their state and federal elected leaders. The bill would have also prevented
organizations like the League from advocating on behalf of municipal interests. SB 1166
was amended to address our concerns and we thank the sponsor of the bill, Senator
Vince Leach (R-Tucson) for working with us.
Heritage Fund
SB 1270 state parks; lottery; heritage fund sponsored by Senator T.J. Shope (R-
Coolidge) annually appropriates $3 million from the State Lottery Fund to the Heritage
Fund and includes a $1 million appropriation in FY23 and a $2 million appropriation in FY
24. The Arizona State Parks Board administers grants which benefit local trail projects
and outdoor environmental education programs. Monies in the Heritage Fund must be
used for restoration, development, or historic preservation of local, regional, or state
parks. Funding for this program was eliminated during the Great Recession. In 2019, the
Legislature restored the fund with a $10 million allocation consisting of general fund
dollars and federal funding. SB 1270 makes a significant change to the lottery fund
distribution formula by adding the Heritage Fund back into the series of distributions,
consistently funding the fund. The bill has received bipartisan support, passing
committees in both the House and Senate, and is currently pending a hearing in the
House Rules committee. The League is supportive of the bill.
Minimum Wage Preemption
HCR 2031 employee benefits; compensation; state preemption, sponsored by
Representative Regina Cobb (R-Kingman), will be heard in the Senate Commerce
committee next week. The measure was on a previous agenda but was ultimately held
and only considered an item for discussion.
The League is opposed to the referral because, if passed, it would prevent municipalities
from regulating minimum wage or benefits within their jurisdictions. HCR 2031 is also in
direct conflict with Prop 206 and voter-approved minimum wage ordinances in Flagstaff
and Tucson.
The League continues to oppose HCR2031 due to the conflicts with Prop 206 (2016),
local voter-approved measures, and its infringement on municipalities’ authority to decide
wages and benefits for their employees.

4/19 – 100th Day of Session
AZ League Legislative Bulletin: Issue 12 -April 1, 2022
Legislative Update:
Today is the 82nd day of the legislative session. Both the Senate and the House
Appropriations committees held lengthy hearings. This week marked the end of
committee hearings for the session, except for budget bills and any measures that
may be introduced in a special session.
Moving forward, lawmakers will focus on increased floor action and conference
committees. The Capitol community remains unaware of when a call for a special
session may occur. Legislators are exploring the issues of water, elections,
education funding, and tax cuts behind the scenes as potential topics to address
in a special session. With the 100-day milestone less than 20 days away, there is
little discussion of or consensus on a budget package.
With a record surplus of $1.7 billion in state coffers, lawmakers have yet to
determine how they will prioritize these funds. Legislators have voted on funding
measures in the form of bills throughout the session. These bills are generally
held until they can be considered during the broader budget negotiating process.
Some of the priorities lawmakers have already weighed in on through the
Appropriations committee include:
$20 million to the State Aviation Fund (HB 2688)
$400 million to widen the I-10 between Chandler and Casa Grande
(SB 1239)
$100 million for the Housing Trust Fund from ARPA dollars
(HB 2528 S/E)
Next week, the Finance Advisory Committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday
to discuss the state’s latest revenue forecasts and overall economic outlook. As
of today, the Governor has signed 106 measures into law, and no bills have been
vetoed.
Prime Contracting
The Senate Appropriations Committee heard HB 2749 TPT; prime contracting;
exemption; alterations, sponsored by Representative Regina Cobb (R-Kingman).
The bill changes the limit for a residential job to qualify for MRRA and be taxed at
the point of sale by scrapping the bright line of "<25% of Full Cash Value" in
exchange for "any job that doesn't add new square footage." The proponents
claim this simplifies MRRA for taxpayers; however, this will only create new
confusion because there is no definition of "new square footage." The most
common understanding of "new square footage" recognized by the contracting
group, measuring from wall to wall, will needlessly drag many projects into Prime
Contracting that are currently under MRRA.
Regardless of the financial impacts on cities and the state, contractors have long
asked for one thing: clarity and bright lines to determine when MRRA or Prime
Contracting applies. This bill strips out the lone bright line in this matter, a number
everyone agrees on and quickly understands. It replaces that clarity with an overly
simplistic idea with an ambiguous definition that will only generate more confusion
and controversy.
The League testified in opposition to the bill because it would increase the number
of jobs taxed at the point of sale, reducing revenues by an unknowable amount
for the state, counties, and cities. Please reach out to your Senators and ask them
to vote NO on this bill.
Housing Update
Housing and homelessness issues have been top of mind for lawmakers this
session. The Maricopa Association of Governments’ Point-in-Time (PIT) count
conducted in January of this year showed a 33% increase in the number of people
experiencing homelessness compared to 2020 in the Maricopa region. Sharp
increases in rent prices coupled with a shortage of emergency shelters are
exacerbating this critical issue. Here are a few measures that are still moving
through the legislative process that aim to address housing and homelessness:
HB 2528 housing trust fund; federal monies sponsored by Representative
Alma Hernandez (D-Tucson) was subject to a strike-everything amendment that
would allocate $100M of ARPA dollars to the Housing Trust Fund. The bill
received unanimous support in committee. As is the case with all appropriations
bills, the measure will likely be put on hold until it can be considered during the
broader budget negotiation process.
SB 1263 lottery fund; shelter services sponsored by Senator David Livingston
(R-Peoria) increases the amount of money appropriated to the Department of
Economic Security by the lottery fund each fiscal year from $1M to $3M. These
dollars would fund grant programs awarded to nonprofit organizations to support
emergency and transitional homeless shelter services. The measure has moved
forward in the legislative process with bipartisan support.
SB 1581 housing grants; homelessness; camping; appropriation also
sponsored by Senator David Livingston (R-Peoria) would give the Arizona
Department of Housing authority to disburse $50 million in grant dollars to create
sanctioned camping sites for those experiencing homelessness. As a condition of
qualifying for grant funding, a municipality or county would be required to enforce
their street camping ban if they have one in place or would need to demonstrate
an 80% reduction in unsheltered homeless individuals. The League continues to
work with the sponsor and stakeholders to get the measure to a place where cities
are not discouraged from applying for grant funding. Given the complexities in
enforcing street camping bans due to the Ninth Circuit's decision in Martin v.
Boise, any outlined goal to reduce homelessness should remain attainable.
Police Use-of-Force Incidents
An effort to create a new division within the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to
investigate officer use-of-force incidents has received bipartisan support from
lawmakers. HB 2650 critical incident bureau; establishment; DPS sponsored by
House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R-Mesa) establishes the Major Incident Division
within DPS.
The measure requires law enforcement agencies to work with the Major Incident
Division, a regional law enforcement task force, or another law enforcement
agency to perform criminal investigations of critical force incidents. As defined in
the bill, critical force incidents include any incident involving use of force that
results in death or serious bodily injury of another person during an on-duty or off-
duty incident while acting under the authority given to them by the state or local
government agency.
The bill follows legislative efforts in previous years by House Minority Leader
Reginald Bolding (D-Phoenix) to establish a similar investigative structure for
officer-involved incidents. Last month, ASU's Morrison Institute released the
findings of a survey polling support for an independent agency to investigate law
enforcement shootings. The survey found that approximately 57% of Arizonans
agreed that an independent statewide agency is needed for these types of
investigations.
HB 2650 includes a $25 million appropriation, most of which is allocated for DPS
to create the new division. $600,000 is appropriated to the Arizona Criminal
Justice Commission to distribute to regional law enforcement task forces. The bill
received unanimous support from the Senate Appropriations Committee last week
and is pending a hearing in the Senate Rules committee.
Voter Registration Requirements
HB 2492 voter registration; verification; citizenship sponsored by Representative
Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek), was signed into law by Governor Ducey this
week. Under existing law, a resident of the state is qualified to vote if they are a
citizen of the United States and meet other criteria outlined in the law. HB 2492
would require individuals registering to vote using the federal voter registration
form to not only affirm they are citizens, but now be required to provide
documentary proof of their citizenship such as a birth certificate or passport.
Under the measure, election officials would be subject to felony charges for
accepting a voter registration form that does not include proof of citizenship. HB
2492 additionally requires county recorders to verify a registrant's citizenship by
reviewing various databases, including ADOT's database of driver licenses and
the social security administration database if the recorder has access to them.
Opponents of the measure argue that the bill is unconstitutional and believe it will
disenfranchise thousands of voters that may have registered to vote prior to 1996,
before citizenship was required to get a driver's license. As of this morning, two
lawsuits have already been filed challenging the new law.
