Number 1, we'll do a call to order, please, Stormy? MAZEIKIS: Yes, ma'am. Chair Reddick. MAZEIKIS: Vice Chair Wilson. VICE CHAIR WILSON: Here. MAZEIKIS: Youth Commissioner Olberg. COMMISSIONER OBERG: Here. MAZEIKIS: Commissioner Varela. COMMISSIONER VARELA: Here. MAZEIKIS: Commissioner Stephen Barnes. COMMISSIONER BARNES: Here. MAZEIKIS: Commissioner Rudolphy COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: Here MAZEIKIS: Commissioner Ron Ruppert. And we have a quorum. VICE CHAIR WILSON: Thank you. And then I'll do a statement of participation. All right. And then doesn't look like we have any presentations tonight; correct? All right. So we'll go on to the regular agenda. And Number A is consideration and possible action, approval of the Community Services Advisory Commission November 24th 2020 -- 20 -- sorry -- 2025 verbatim meeting minutes. Did everyone have a chance to review the minutes from last meeting? COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: Yes, and I moved to approve the minutes. VICE CHAIR WILSON: Can I get a second? BARNES: Second. VICE CHAIR WILSON: All those in favor say aye. ALL: Aye. VICE CHAIR WILSON: Any opposed? Great. That is an approval. Next up, we have an update on the name change from Pleasantville Park to Skyview Park. SNIPES: Yeah. So the long-awaited name change has occurred. We have our final Meeting Packet Page 7 of 16 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS JANUARY 26, 2026, COMMUNITY SERVICE ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING Page 3 of 5 round of review off to J2 as our designer on this project. And we are hoping to get that back, hopefully this week or next week from them. There's minimal changes that needed to be done. The -- you know, Pleasant View's been out there for a long time. It was a name that we tagged on the park for -- for future consideration. So that's where that started, that we decided if we named it, that it was ours. That's a pretty good tactic to have. As long as you got a name for something, it's pretty much yours. So we stuck with that all the way through until we were getting ready to finalize the plans. And then we came up with the one that we actually think work well -- works well for the park and its intended purposes. And the next agenda, we'll be looking for support from this body to move forward with the design coming to fruition if you guys are willing to support that project from our final push and we can get that information off to counsel as well. If you have any questions or concerns, we can absolutely discuss that during the process. VICE CHAIR WILSON: Thank you, Kevin. I just had a quick question on the approval for Skyview Park. What's the timeline that you're looking to support with that? SNIPES: As far as getting action from -- from this body, I would like to get it tonight because we will be pushing this out fairly quickly. And so we've discussed it several times over the last year and a half we've been working on it. So this is to where we think it's going to be over what the budget was stated as being, just over (indiscernible). COMMISSIONER VARELA: Gosh, you guys, I definitely can't hear anything. SNIPES: I will try to speak up more into the mic. COMMISSIONER VARELA: Oh, I can definitely -- I can definitely hear you now. Thank you. SNIPES: Okay. Sorry about that. COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: So Kevin, the original budget approval was 800,000. And now you might be going back to ask for 1.4 million? SNIPES: Up to. Yeah. COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: Can you provide a brief explanation of almost doubling of the cost? Meeting Packet Page 8 of 16 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS JANUARY 26, 2026, COMMUNITY SERVICE ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING Page 4 of 5 SNIPES: Yeah. So basically, we started this conversation several years ago, and there's definitely been a change in the cost of things since then, as well as the building of the structure. As we were building, as we were working with Dark Skies for the main center structure, with the challenges that Golden Eagle presented with the hill coming down -- cars coming down the hill and lights shining into the center area, we really had to fortify the area so that we could prevent light intrusion. And that took quite a bit more metal on the -- on the structure than what was originally planned. And like I said, I'm pretty confident in seeing the engineering estimates. I know there's some things on there that we can work with to -- to help reduce that number. But I've always had the mindset of going in with a number and coming in under that. And I feel like this is another spot where that would probably be the case. But I don't like having to go back and ask for more once we've -- once we've got this far into it. I'd rather ask high and come in. COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: Based on current policy, I'm thinking that's a pretty big jump that had been spoken before in the past many years when we were getting a feel for how big it was going to be. I mean I can see that there's lots of possible action. But my estimate is it's a point of (indiscernible). SNIPES: Certainly. VICE CHAIR WILSON: Natalie, do you have any comments or questions? COMMISSIONER VARELA: (Indiscernible). VICE CHAIR WILSON: Thank you. We can move on to discussing the Arizona State Puzzle Donor Program Centennial Pavilion. SNIPES: A bunch of stuff happening again and not just approaching this weekend, and getting some pretty good numbers and you know, (indiscernible). VICE CHAIR WILSON: Awesome. Thank you. We discussed the topic of taking on (indiscernible). SNIPES: Not that I've heard any significant push to -- push it to there. I think it was -- when staffing says during the week, and I know that it's going to be a different (indiscernible). Meeting Packet Page 9 of 16 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS JANUARY 26, 2026, COMMUNITY SERVICE ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING Page 5 of 5 VICE CHAIR WILSON: What is the consequences for that? SNIPES: (Indiscernible). VICE CHAIR WILSON: Sounds good. Thank you. (Indiscernible). If I may say to everyone that I have decided to step down in April as my time comes to an end. (Indiscernible). SNIPES: (Indiscernible) COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: (Indiscernible). SNIPES: (Indiscernible) VICE CHAIR WILSON: Thank you, Craig. (Indiscernible). Move to second, can I get a motion to adjourn? COMMISSIONER RUDOLPHY: I move to adjourn. VICE CHAIR WILSON: can I get a second. COMMISSIONER BARNES: Second. VICE CHAIR WILSON: All those in favor say aye. ALL: Aye.
