AGENDA ITEM #1 — DISCUSSION RELATING TO THE NAMING OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE
TOWN AND A REVIEW OF THE TOWN'S NAMING POLICY.
Town Manager Miller provided an overview of the proposal to rename the Avenue of the Fountains after a former
Mayor. He noted that a suggestion was made by Vice Mayor Brown that there could be other naming opportunities by
dividing the Avenue into sections since it was a large area of land to acknowledge other prominent and contributing
members of the Fountain Hills community. Mr. Miller introduced Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin
who provided a PowerPoint presentation (available on-line or in the office of the Town Clerk).
Director Goodwin discussed the resolution that contained the criteria required for naming areas in Fountain Hills to
recognize those who had contributed significantly to Fountain Hills. She stated these guidelines were used for the
renaming the Avenue of the Fountains to acknowledge Former Mayor Sharon Morgan.
Director Goodwin reviewed the map denoting the areas of the east and west end of the Avenue, which was broken
down in six terraces with the potential for naming the eastern portion along Saguaro Boulevard as Morgan Plaza, or
terrace, patio or another proposed name. Director Goodwin indicated five additional future designations would then be
available on the Avenue of the Fountains along with other Town owned properties that could also be considered for
renaming. She added that each named section would involve a fountain, clock or art piece within the designated areas,
with an identifiable plaque added by the Town at their cost, for that particular location.
Mayor Kavanagh asked what the process was to approach the Town with a recommendation. Director Goodwin
responded that in the past the Town Manager had requested consideration or it could b e someone from the community
who would then go through Council for approval as stated in the Town's Renaming Policy. Mr. Miller added that the
Town would also have a dedication ceremony to dedicate the area.
Councilmember Yates asked about the current overall name for the Plaza and Director Goodwin replied the Council
named the area "Plaza on the Avenue" and that name was identified in Town maps and on-line. She commented that
renaming the entire area would help specifically identify each section; Mr. Miller agreed and stated it was a challenge
was to create the sense of identity. Councilmember Yates mentioned that Council needed to discuss what the entire
area would be called other than "Plaza" to eliminate confusion since the Town already had a business location called
Plaza Fountainside. Mr. Miller stated the Avenue area had turned into a linear park and suggested "Plaza Park" and
Mayor Kavanagh suggested "Avenue Park".
Vice Mayor Brown gave credit for the idea of sectioning the Avenue and noted Councilmember Leger was also
involved in the discussion. Vice Mayor Brown expressed his preference to the name "Morgan Plaza".
Mayor Kavanagh asked if Council's consensus was to give their approval for the six terraces, as presented with future
Council discussion on naming of the Avenue.
Mr. Miller stated Council would need to return and address this issue with a formal proposal and action.
Mayor Kavanagh asked for further Council discussion and none was initiated.
Mayor Kavanagh asked for a motion to adjourn.

Director Goodwin used a PowerPoint presentation to display and discuss the three art pieces and their placement.
Mayor Kavanagh asked what the plan was for the future for accepting additional art pieces. She noted the Art
committee was concerned about offering future art exhibits if permanent art continues to be added. Director Goodwin
replied staff had met with the Art Committee members and everyone agreed that the Town had acquired many pieces
and would work with the Art Committee in the future to make sure the Town facilities had space available before
accepting additional art pieces. Mayor Kavanagh said a plan was important as Town parks and the Avenue of the

Mayor Kavanagh asked if there were any further questions and if not requested a motion.

AGENDA ITEM #6 - CONSIDERATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT C2017-096.
WITH SOMERSET LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE, INC, FOR TREE TRIMMING AND REMOVAL, IN
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,000.00, FOR AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF $100,000.00.
Mr. Miller addressed the Council stating there were a lot of palm trees that needed annual maintenance and staff was
unable to perform this task in-house and must use a contracted company. Mr. Miller stated that Justin Weldy, Public
Works Director was available to answer Council's questions.
Councilmember Yates asked the name of the company the Town had previously contracted with. Public Works
Director Justin Weldy replied Artistic Land Management; however, after finding a City of Scottsdale contract available
to piggy back on and at a lower cost with less restrictive working hours during off-peak hours and at no additional
costs, staff decided to move forward with a contract with the Somerset Landscaping Maintenance. Councilmember
Yates asked what the cost savings were by changing companies and Director Weldy replied the contract was for
$10.00 per palm tree for trimming approximately 280 trees located in the maintenance areas.
z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l80320m.docx Page 3 of 8
Councilmember Magazine questioned the "aggregate cost". Director Weldy explained staff expected to spend $50K
the first year with an additional $50K for the second year and not exceed that amount ($100K). Councilmember
Magazine stated he did not support approving a two-year contract and requested Council consider approving a one-
year contract. Mr. Miller pointed out the Town's contract language did not obligate the Town to continue with the
contract if funding was not available. Councilmember Magazine pointed to optics, as residents may not understand
and reiterated that he supported a one-year contract.
Mayor Kavanagh asked if the Town experienced storm damage would Somerset remove any tree damage. Director
Weldy replied the Town contracted separately for emergency situations with a different vendor who was on-call and a
local company who met the response time requirements.
Mayor Kavanagh asked why the Town needed off peak time service. Director Weldy replied there were challenges
when trimming palm trees at certain locations when traffic was at its heaviest and doing so helped eliminate a lot of
public's complaints.
Councilmember Leger asked for an explanation of the company's scope of work. Director Weldy replied that all
Town departments could use this vendor for minor trimming needed. He pointed out that Public Works primarily used
Somerset for palm tree trimming and removal of growth in certain drainage areas. Councilmember Leger asked if the
scope of work designated a certain number of palm trees to be trimmed. Director Weldy replied staff had an
accounting of all palm trees and their locations that was updated annually. Councilmember Leger expressed the
opinion that the cost was reasonable for 283 palm trees and their maintenance. Director Weldy added the Town's cost
would have been $23.00 per palm.
Mayor Kavanagh asked for any speaker cards and Ms. Bender stated none had been received.
Mayor Kavanagh asked for additional discussion and if not requested a motion.
Councilmember Yates MOVED to approve the first amendment to Cooperative Purchasing Agreement C2017-096
with Somerset Landscaping, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00 for tree trimming and removal services and
Vice Mayor Brown SECONDED the motion.
Councilmember Magazine requested to substitute with a motion.
Councilmember Magazine MOVED to approve a contract for Somerset Landscaping Maintenance, Inc. for up to
$50,000.00 for one-year.
Councilmember Yates questioned if Council approved a one-year contract what effect would that have on the cost of
the contract and when would the City of Scottsdale's contract end with Somerset Landscaping. Director Weldy replied
the cost would not change; however, the City of Scottsdale's contract would end next year. Councilmember Yates
pointed out that Fountain Hill's may not have the same lower cost the second year and Director Weldy agreed.
Councilmember Leger SECONDED the motion as there would not be any changes in the cost if the Town approved a
one-year contract.
Mayor Kavanagh commented that second year contract with Somerset could be more due to rising costs and Director
Weldy replied he could not guarantee the cost would be the same.
Councilmember Magazine questioned Council approving any multi-year contracts at this time. Mayor Kavanagh
reiterated the Town could opt out if necessary. She and Councilmember Yates indicated they would rather approve the
two year contract.
Councilmember Magazine WITHDREW his MOTION.
Mayor Kavanagh requested a vote on the first motion, which CARRIED UNAMIOUSLY, by those present (6-0).
AGENDA ITEM #7 - CONSIDERATION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT C2018-093, WITH
AMEC FOSTER WHEELER, FOR STORM WATER SUPPORT SERVICES, IN THE AMOUNT OF
$33,270.00, WITH FOUR (4) ADDITIONAL 1 -YEAR OPTIONAL RENEWALS.
Director Weldy explained this contract would help the Town comply with EPA/ADE, storm water requirements
currently under the assignment of Raymond Rees, Facilities/Environmental Supervisor, who was allotted .25 staff time
to manage the recently issued new requirements, which had increased his workload and also involved staff training to
manage documentation for the ADEQ annual report. He added this portion could be considered a full-time job.
z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l80320m.docx Page 4 of 8
Mr. Miller added that Mr. Rees had other responsibilities in addition to this role and last year he had requested to hire
an additional employee, but now he was of the opinion that this contract was a better alternative. Mr. Miller also noted
that Mr. Rees has expressed retirement plans in around 1-1/2 years and commented that finding someone with his
experience will be difficult.
Councilmember Yates asked if this was a mandatory requirement for the Town. Director Weldy responded it was.
Councilmember Yates asked if a person with the necessary qualifications could be hired for $33K and Mr. Miller and
Mr. Weldy both expressed that would be a challenge.
Vice Mayor Brown said that general contractors working in Town currently filled-out the required paperwork
requesting a permit and questioned what the value was for the Town to invest $33K. Director Weldy offered to
provide additional information on the paperwork requirements; Vice Mayor Brown indicated he wanted to see more
information. Mr. Miller added that staff was not obligated to spend all of the $33K since this amount was only the
anticipated hours needed.
Vice Mayor and Mayor Kavanagh asked if the staff report should have noted "up to or not to exceed" $33K.
Mr. Miller suggested Council carry this item over to the March 3, 2018, Town Council meeting and request input from
Mr. Rees.
Vice Mayor Brown MOVED to table the professional services agreement C2018-093, with AMEC Foster Wheeler for
storm water support services, in the amount of $33,270.00 with four (4) additional 1-year optional renewals and
Councilmember Leger SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, by those present (6-0).
AGENDA ITEM #8 - CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2018-21, RELATING TO THE SUBMISSION
OF THE TOWN'S APPLICATION FOR THE ARIZONA LOTTERY FUNDS ALLOCATION AND USE OF
PROCEEDS FOR TRANSIT RELATED EXPENDITURES.
Mr. Miller introduced David Trimble, Administrative Services Director who presented the staff report for
consideration of this resolution.
Director Trimble discussed the two different funding sources beginning with the Public Transportation Fund (PTF),
which was a restricted "Paratransit" funds used exclusively for the transportation of the disabled and individuals over
65-years old. He added that Fountain Hills used those funds for the "Ride Share Program" in the amount of $10K to
$13K per year.
Director Trimble stated the "Arizona Lottery" funding involved approximately $65K per year and required the
submission of an application. He explained how the Town intended to use the funds distributed by Valley Metro that
did not require matching Town funds. Director Trimble pointed out this fund was less restrictive and must be used for
public transportation and connection to other valley transit. Director Trimble stated the application was due by March
30, 2018, and that the funds were to be expended annually. He commented that Fountain Hills had unspent fund
carried over and that those funds were now at risk and may not be allocated in future years if not spent.
Councilmember Yates acknowledged that Valley Metro was now addressing some of Fountain Hills' needs and asked
how flexible would a plan be if the Town decided to go another direction and presented another plan other than what
had been submitted on the application. Director Trimble replied he believed that would not be a problem and pointed
out that the current application referenced the "First Mile/Last Mile" (Lyft) in the amount of $90K for public
transportation. Mr. Miller added that "Lyft" already provides connections to the Mayo Clinic located on Shea
Boulevard and to Gilbert Road to transport individuals into Fountain Hills. Mr. Miller suggested the Town should
monitor the program cost since there was only commuter bus service in the morning and that returned at the end of the
day. Mr. Miller stated the Town was not abandoning the "Ride Share" service, but looking to enhance service.
Councilmember Yates stated that Fountain Hill's bus ridership had increase over the last year due to the convenience
of this service.
Councilmember Leger asked if Fountain Hills expended all the "Ride Choice" funding. Director Trimble replied that
based on previous available information, Fountain Hills had not utilized all the funds. Mr. Miller added riders were
required to pay a portion through connecting to the internet and older individuals were not always knowledgeable
about the new technology but with some public education, ridership had gone up. Councilmember Leger questions
what would happen if the "Ride Choice" funds not expended but rolled over. Director Trimble replied it depended on
what was spent. Councilmember Leger asked for further details of the three projects listed on the application and what
would they accomplish. Director Trimble replied the rationale was to expend the accumulation funds and place visual
z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l80320m.docx Page 5 of 8
structures for bus stops. Councilmember Leger asked for further information on the proposed bus location and
proposed infrastructure. Director Trimble described the bus shelter, trash can and bike rack that would be located in
the area of the Community Center on La Montana Drive and discussed the parking area for a "Park and Ride" location.
Mr. Miller added that with the new Park Place Development the bus service might be used more frequently. He
mentioned that with Fountain Hills a member of Valley Metro, the Town might have more influence and receive
additional services and assistance with the promotion of the "Park and Ride" program. Councilmember Leger
expressed support for the bus location.
Councilmember Yates confirmed that the first Valley Metro study showed a demand for additional bus routes but that
currently there was only the Town's 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM bus service. He expressed this was one of the reasons for
lack of ridership. Mr. Miller added the bus was not an express bus.
Councilmember Leger asked if the bus facility location could be used for other services in the future and Mr. Miller
agreed it could. Councilmember Yates proposed that other uses such as the "First Mile/Last Mile program could
orientate from this area. Councilmember Leger asked if the ridership continued to be low, could Valley Metro
discontinue the bus service due to economics and Mr. Miller stated that Fountain Hill's portion of Prop 400 covered
the commuter bus for the Fountain Hill's connection.
Councilmember Magazine asked if any of the funds could be used for advertising the Town's bus service and Mr.
Trimble replied yes and could be used for advertising in "The Loop" for the "Ride Share" program. Councilmember
Magazine suggested advertising in the Fountain Hills Times newspaper and the "Fountain Hill's First" newsletter that
was delivered to all homes in Fountain Hills and Councilmember DePorter agreed.
Mayor Kavanagh asked for further discussion
Mayor Kavanagh asked for speaker cards and none were presented.
Councilmember Yates MOVED to approve Resolution 2018-21, relating to the Town of Fountain Hill's Arizona
Lottery Fund grant application submission for the fiscal year 2017-18 and Councilmember Magazine SECONDED the
motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, by those present (6-0).
AGENDA ITEM #9 - CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2018-23, AMENDING AND RESTATING THE
TOWN'S PERSONNEL POLICIES.
Mr. Miller introduced Director Trimble who presented the staff report summarizing the proposed changes.
Director Trimble mentioned the last update was in 2013 and that the current updates involve three categories:
Case Law/Statue Drug Testing
Tuition Reimbursement
Housekeeping/Clarification
Director Trimble noted that all the changes were vetted through the Interim Town Attorney and were also used by
other Cities and Towns.
Councilmember Yates asked if a new Town Manager were hired was there protection from this person releasing
currently employees and replacing them with his preferred employees. Director Trimble replied that the current
process was left unchanged. Mr. Miller added those concerns from Town staff were heard and had not been included.
Councilmember Magazine read from the proposed document: "Employees must not canvas the Mayor for
appointments or the Town Council directly or indirectly in order to obtain preferential consideration in any
connection of employment to a Town job. This does not apply to positions directly by Council."
Councilmember Magazine asked if this statement was contradictory. Mr. Miller replied the Town had a "Civil Service
System" where the Town Manager hired and oversaw direct report personnel and the Town Council oversees the Town
Manager, Town Prosecutor and Judge positions. Councilmember Magazine asked for the language to be cleaned -up
and clarified. Interim Attorney Mitesh Patel replied that he would review and vet this statement by his firm's
Employment Attorney. Mr. Miller added more policy changes would be presented in the near future and this item
would be addressed at that time.
Mayor Kavanagh requested e -cigarettes and marijuana be added under the "smoke free work place" and she mentioned
the State's "Smoke Free Arizona" program for consideration. Director Trimble stated he would review the Town's
policy.
z:\council packets\2018\rl8050l\l80320m.docx Page 6 of 8
Councilmember Leger asked how a new Town Manager could affect contract staff. Mr. Miller stated that positions
listed in the Town Code are appointed by the Town Council.
Mayor Kavanagh asked if there were any speaker cards and Ms. Bender stated none had been received.
Mayor Kavanagh asked for further discussion and if not requested a motion.
Councilmember Magazine MOVED to approve Resolution 2018-23, amending and restating the employee personnel
policies, and Councilmember Yates SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, by those present
(6-0).
AGENDA ITEM #10 - DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF RELATING TO ANY
ITEM INCLUDED IN THE LEAGUE OF ARIZONA CITIES AND TOWNS WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE
BULLETIN OR RELATING TO ANY ACTION PROPOSED OR PENDING BEFORE THE STATE
LEGISLATURE.
Mr. Miller stated staff continued to monitor HB2333. He announced the Legislation Session was coming to an end.
Mayor Kavanagh added HB2333 was on hold and had not moved. Mr. Miller indicated that he had submitted letters of
opposition expressing Council's concerns relating to the bills as discussed.
Councilmember Yates asked about Airbnb and Mr. Miller replied the State took away the ability for the Town to
regulate those types of properties. Councilmember Magazine asked if there were other Town Codes that could apply
to disturbances made during the rental. Mayor Kavanagh discussed the adverse affects on home values where transit
people were involved in these rentals and added that she and Senator John Kavanagh were doing everything they could
to address issues including having Senator Kavanagh read a letter from a Fountain Hills resident describing his
problems with the transit rentals. Mayor Kavanagh pointed out that Homeowner Associations could prohibit this type
of activity as well as the "Neighborhood Property Owners' Association" (NPOA), but they chose not to.
Councilmember Magazine discussed possible ways to help the residents affected by these type properties and a
Maricopa County Sheriff Lieutenant was present and stated he would research any current codes that could be
enforced if there was an issued with any of these transit properties.
