Pavement Management Options
December 13, 2011
Pavement Maintenance Zones
Fountain Hills Roadway Statistics
• 390 lane miles
• 3,460,000 SY of pavement surface
• 7 Pavement Management Zones
Current Practices
•Slurry Seal and TRMSS treatments require
approximately $700,000 annually.
• Current practices will not bring the
Town’s roadways back into a sustainable
pavement management program.
From the Winter 2011 Pavement Preservation Journal: “If pavement preservation
measures are used as reactive maintenance and stop-gap attempts, they won’t work. If
roads that are in fair to good condition are ignored, and budget dollars are devoted only
to rehabilitation of the worst roads, then overall road conditions will get poorer and
poorer and agencies will always be playing catch up, even when budgets grow as the
recession declines.”
S6008: Pavement Management Program
Option #1: Asphalt Patching and Pothole Repair
Option #1 is shown as CIP Project No. S6008 in the 2012-13 Capital Improvement Plan
and has $200,000 budgeted annually for minimal preventative maintenance on new roads
such as Shea Blvd. and asphalt patching/pothole repair on the remainder of the Town’s
roadways. This project is funded 50/50 by the CIP Fund and Highway User Revenue Fund
(HURF).
Pros
• Relative low annual cost to keep roads safe to the traveling public.
Cons
• Does not address long-term maintenance and roadway conditions will continue to
deteriorate requiring more expensive repairs in the future.
• CIP Funding is one-time money and not sustainable.
• HURF revenue is distributed by the State and may fluctuate from year to year. Current
HURF funding shown for pavement maintenance may require cuts to the Streets Division
budget such as contracting out services and staff reductions.
Option #2: Mill & Overlay, Slurry Seal & TRMSS
Reconstruction and Mill & Overlay will remove asphalt surfaces and subgrade on roads
that are past their useful lifespan. Slurry Seal and Tire Rubber Modified Surface Seal
(TRMSS) will be used as preventative maintenance measures to extend the useful life of
existing roadways. In some instances roads will be 50 to 60 years old before they are
replaced.
Pros
• begins to bring the roadways into a sustainable maintenance cycle when used as part of
a comprehensive pavement management program.
Cons
• Funding required is approximately $2.5 million per year.
• Does not address reconstruction of Saguaro Boulevard.
Funding Options
The current budget cannot support a comprehensive pavement management program to
bring our roadways back to a manageable service level. A combination of increased
sustainable revenues and program cuts will be required to fund the program.
Increased Revenues
• Dedicate a portion of increased Sales Tax (variable)
• Increase from 2.6% to 3.4% would generate approximately $2.4 million annually
• Dedicate a portion of existing Sales Tax (variable)
• Redirect the Downtown Excise Tax for Pavement Management Program (approx. $300,000)
• Bond for individual Capital Projects such as Fire Station #2 Relocation and use one-time
CIP Funds for roadway reconstruction.
Program Cuts
• Outsource the majority of Streets Division functions to free up HURF revenues (approx.
$300,000)

FUNDING SOURCES
Survey data and hydraulic calculations from the Maricopa County Flood Control District (MCFCD)
show that 13 houses and duplex units are susceptible to flooding in the 100-year flood along
Ashbrook Wash between Bayfield Drive and Del Cambre Avenue. The MCFCD had deferred its as-
sessment of the Town's 2009 CIP submittal request pending confirmation of the flooding hazard.
Based on this new information, the Town updated and re-submitted its Capital Improvement Pro-
gram Prioritization Procedure request to the MCFCD. MCFCD staff has recommended approval of
the project to their Board of Directors and if approved, the Town and the MCFCD will split the pro-
ject costs equally, with the MCFCD managing the project's design and construction.

This project will upgrade the channel and culverts along the Ashbrook Wash between Bayfield Drive
and Del Cambre Avenue to carry run-off from a 100-year storm event without flooding adjacent resi-
dences.
The work is anticipated to include a new culvert at Bayfield Drive (six barrel, 8' x 5' concrete box cul-
vert), a new culvert at Saguaro Blvd. (seven barrel, 10' x 4' concrete box culvert), grading a portion
of the channel length, excess vegetation removal, and two segments of masonry floodwall.

This project will provide for the construction of new drainage facilities or the extension of existing
facilities at locations of future road widening projects so that excess excavated materials may be
put in place when available. The project will also provide for the revegetation of these locations.
The Town has worked successfully with municipal, private and utility construction contractors in the
past to place excess excavation materials at locations where future Town road widening projects will
require fill material. This work is done at no cost to the Town and will save on the costs to fill and
compact these areas in the future. The locations where the excess materials can be placed are
now limited without constructing or extending drainage culverts. Revegetation is also required in
the areas where fill materials are placed to help with erosion and aesthetics.

FUNDING PRIORITY: High - Finishes a Partially Completed Project
FUNDING SOURCES
Project is planned to introduce additional trees and potentially shrubs to Fountain Park and a num-
ber of vacant lots principally in the downtown area. Donations will be sought for this work which is
to be completed in time for the State's Centennial on February 14, 2012.
The "Greening of Downtown" was one of the recommendations to come from the Downtown Vision-
ing Project. The "Greening of Downtown" envisioned additional trees and shrubbery for Fountain
Park to provide additional shade and aesthetic appeal and the planting of greenery in the Town's
privately-owned, large vacant lots in the downtown area.
The source of funding is to be donation driven. The project will include a demonstration planting
area on the park's east side, trees along the sidewalks and paths in and around the park, and more
intensely planted "grove" areas, which are envisioned to include both trees and shrubs. Lastly, ad-
ditional work that is envisioned included naturalization of the park islands and a desert wildflower
area among others.

In FY 2005/2006 and FY 2006/2007, the Town completed Phases I and II of the "Avenue of the
Fountains Enhancement Project." Phase I included design of the entire project, and construction of
the streetscape and sidewalks on the north side of the Avenue. Phase II included construction of
the streetscape and sidewalks on the south side of the Avenue in front of Town Hall.
In January 2009, the Town of Fountain Hills and the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce, em-
barked on a journey to develop a master plan for downtown Fountain Hills. Swaback Partners were
engaged to assist in this project. The process included input in structured group settings. Two dif-
ferent groups, inclusive of community leaders and local constituents, formally assisted in defining
the vision - the Project Team and the Focus Group. In addition, the process included numerous
public meetings to discuss the project progress, and receive feedback and guidance.
This project will continue the "Avenue of the Fountains Enhancement Project" in the form of an in-
ducement up to $1,000,000 to reimburse a developer or developers for developing a project(s) in
the Lakeside District or The Avenue District in alignment with the Downtown Vision Plan. It may
also be in the form of a Town project to induce a development. The Town Council would formalize
the reimbursement or inducement through an adopted Development Agreement which would outline
the conditions of the reimbursements or inducements.
This project may be used as an inducement to reimburse a developer(s) up to $1 million for con-
struction of Town approved streetscape/sidewalks/road improvements for development of a project
or projects in the Lakeside District and/or The Avenue District in alignment with the Downtown Vision
Plan adopted by Council on 9/17/09 and in alignment with the Downtown Area Specific Plan frame-
work. It may also be used by the Town for streetscape/sidewalks/road improvements/parking stud-
ies to induce a developer(s) to develop a project or projects in the above mentioned Districts.

The Fire Department has completed a study of seven sites, two current stations, and five potential
locations to improve response times for all areas within the Town (in particular Eagle Mountain,
Crestview, Copperwynd, Adero Canyon, Fire Rock, and the Westridge developments).
The criteria used: response times, emergency unit coverage, Town owned property, (cost), and
site requiring little or no Planning & Zoning or Council action.
5 minute response 90% (entire town area of the time vs. the standard 4 minutes that all fire de-
partments strive to reach (current Rural Metro contract calls for 5 and 8 minute response areas).
The logic for this decision was based on the Town Fire Sprinkler Ordinance of 1996.
The new fire station location on Shea Blvd. will afford superior overlapping coverage for both fire
stations, which will equitably distribute and balance call volume, thus allowing better call support
for multiple calls. This will also enhance the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) station location
rating.
Upon completion of this project, the current station 2 may be retained by the Town for future
needs or sold and funds returned to the CIP fund. This Study has been under review and devel-

This access and trailhead will be the main entrance into the Town's McDowell Mountain Preserve
and would provide the public with a large parking area, trail access and information, restrooms, a
shade ramada and drinking water. Parking for up to two buses will be provided on the site for the
potential use of the local school district to conduct on-site environmental classes. The site would be
designed to meet ADA requirements.
This entrance would be the sole means by which people would be able to access the McDowell
Mountain Preserve from the south without walking through existing MCO private property. The site
has been planned for a number of years with a master plan for development.
The timing of this project has been moved to FY 2014-15 to better reflect the realities of MCO's de-
velopment schedule for the Adero Canyon development and the construction of the planned access
road by MCO, which would serve as the means by which access to the trailhead site would be
gained for the construction of the trailhead.
Currently, MCO does not have a target date for when the Adero Canyon development might com-
mence. The trailhead site, once completed, will be ADA compliant and provide access to the com-
plete Preserve and its trail system which has already been constructed.

Future improvements to Four Peaks Park will focus on the 11-acres immediately adjacent to Four
Peaks Elementary School and the Boys and Girls Club - McKee Branch. When the Town acquired
the parcel from the Fountain Hills Unified School District in 2001, it was anticipated that improve-
ments would occur within the next few years as the facilities were aging. Parking, sidewalk connec-
tivity, and landscaping are just some of the areas that will be improved, along with additional rec-
reational amenities as determined through public meetings.
The Four Peaks Park master plan needs to be updated to reflect the changing recreational needs of
the community since the original master plan was approved in 2001. For example, the Skate Park
was originally included in the Four Peaks Park master plan, but that facility has since been included
in the Desert Vista Park master plan and built at that park. Additionally, a roller hockey rink was
planned for Four Peaks Park, but the popularity of the sport has declined locally and the facility is
no longer necessary. By updating the master plan in FY12-13, the Town would be in a much better
position to apply for grants or potential stimulus funding that may be available for development.
With an updated and approved master plan, the Town could quickly transition into detailed design
and construction documents, and ultimately construction when funding becomes available. Design
and construction of the improvement are estimated at $2,650,000 and will be contingent upon
grant funding.
Improvements to this park will fill immediate recreational needs, due to the fact that much of the
park has been developed or improved in the past 10-15 years. It is anticipated that the master
plan would focus on the 11-acres immediately adjacent to the elementary school and Boys and Girls
Club - McKee Branch. Improvements would likely have a positive impact on the surrounding
neighborhood and bring the park up to the standards of the Town's other municipal parks.

and staging for day and evening events.
Fountain Park has undergone several phases of improvements since the Town acquired the park in
1997. All improvements are being done in conjunction with the approved park master plan and will
help keep Fountain Park the signature facility in Fountain Hills. These items represent the final im-
provements to the park as outlined in the most recent master plan, which was approved in 1999.

parks according to national guidelines from the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA).
This park will help to bring the Town within acceptable minimal guidelines for community parks and
closer to the minimal guidelines on neighborhood park acreages based on the Town's population.
Development of the parks is also included in the General Plan as recommended at the time of an-
nexation of the State Trust Land. The cost to develop the two parks is computed as follows: Acqui-
sition - $200,000 per acre and Development - $400,000 per acre for a combined total of $600,000
per acre. Based on a total of 46 acres X $600,000 would equal $27,600,000 for both acquisition
and development. Design and construction of this project is the responsibility of the developer.

Develop Fountain Hills High School property to include a large open turf area with irrigation for ath-
letic practices and programs.
The Town Council, School Board and Parks and Recreation Commission all recommended approval
of the two (2) Joint Use Parks at Fountain Hills High School and McDowell Mountain Elementary
school.
Development of Town parks on School District property keeps the Town from having to acquire new
land and helps meet the needs of both the Town and School District.
The Estimate of Probable Construction Costs (OPC) was provided by Olsson Associates in 2007.
By creating construction documents in FY13-14, the Town would be in a much better position to
apply for grants or potential stimulus funding that may be available for development. Then the
Town could quickly transition into construction when funding becomes available. Staff is proposing
that construction documents for both P3019 and P3020 be done together ($150,000) due to an
economy of scale applied by the landscape architect, potentially creating a savings to the Town on
each project.

This project will help improve water quality in Fountain Lake by developing a comprehensive water
quality management program.
Fountain Lake serves as the centerpiece of the Town activities. The total lake area is approximately
29 acres and receives reclaimed wastewater with a high nutrient concentration. Over the years the
lake has experienced episodes of low oxygen levels, occasional algae blooms, unpleasant odors and
even fish die off.
Meetings are being held between the Town and the Sanitary District to help determine the extent
and funding levels needed to further improve the lake's water quality in the future. A comprehen-
sive water quality management program is anticipated to be completed by a consultant in FY11 -12.
Future improvements to help “mix” the lake may be required with funding shown in FY12-13.
