RE: Slide show presentation on the move to the
New Town Hall
A Big Move: The Town of Fountain Hills Moves into its New Town Hall, July 21-22, 2005
The presentation will be a slide show and I will speak as the pictures go by. There will be no text in the
Powerpoint presentation other than the first slide. The slide numbers that go with each section of text are
in parenthesis.
Presentation:
On Thursday and Friday, July 21 and 22, 2005, we moved into our new Town Hall Building. The
building was built over the course of about nine months and was completed and available within 11 days
from the original schedule. Our new Town Hall will result in a savings of $650,000 a year to the general
fund. The new building houses our Administrative functions, Parks and Recreation, Public Works
including Planning and Zoning and Building Safety, Law Enforcement, the Municipal Court, and of
course the Council Chamber. The building is 34,306 square feet, has approximately 43,200 feet (8.2
miles) of voice and data wiring, and has over 9000 feet (1.7 miles) of fiber optic cable for the network.
Our construction manager was Kitchell, our architect Smithgroup, and our builder was Holder (1, 2, 3).
At our old town hall, we started packing early. Some of us were all ready to go by the day before the
move (4, 5). Some were still in the thick of packing (6, 7, 8), and some just hadn’t even had time for any
of that yet (9).
Our moving company, Fountain Hills Moving, arrived at the old town hall at 8 am on Thursday to start
moving our boxes (10, 11, 12). They loaded their trucks and started bringing everything to the new
building.
Some of us were waiting patiently for our things to arrive, ready to unpack (13, 14, 15, 16). When our
boxes started arriving, we got to work (17, 18, 19).
Some things got unpacked a little faster than others (20, 21).
We like our new accommodations. Our cubicles, storage areas, the court, judge’s chamber. Even the
holding cell (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27).
Even in all of that, we had time for a few breaks. We ate some ice cream and played some games (28).
The move went smoothly. As far as we know, we have all of our stuff. By Monday morning, July 25, we
were open for business again.
Document in 8-4-05.obd
There were a few people who had a lot of the move on their plates. They were always on the run. To wit,
these are the best pictures I got of our IT Coordinator, Mike Ciccarone. Every time we saw these few
people, they had sweat dripping down their foreheads (29, 30, 31, 32).
Our special thanks go to our IT crew, Joe Ross and Mike Ciccarone, to our facilities group, Don,
George, and Stretch. And of course, to our facilities supervisor Don Thumith, who made much of this
move possible (33).

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEMO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
DT: July 26, 2005
FR: John Morast, Assistant Public Works Director
TH: Tom Ward, Public Works Director
RE: Wash Cleanup
The Town has an existing wash cleanup annual contract with TruGreen LandCare. The contract
is for a one-year period and includes yearly renewal unless written notification is otherwise
presented by either party. The contract stipulates that up to four additional one-year renewal
periods, with prices adjusted for inflation each year, are possible.
The wash cleanup program has been in existence for the last nine years. It started when town
staff realized that many of our washes were overgrown, creating problems for proper drainage
and fire control. Salt Cedars and Desert Broom are the two plant species that create most of
these problems, not just in Fountain Hills, but also across the entire valley. The Fountain Hills
Fire Department assists town staff in determining which washes contain the highest degree of
concern for potential fire hazards. Wash cleanup crews will also cut low hanging tree limbs that
provide mosquito breeding grounds when they hang in water. Eliminating these breeding
grounds helps reduce the potential of West Nile Virus carrying mosquitoes. At the same time,
crews remove any dead branches, fallen trees, trash and dumping of other miscellaneous articles.
Along with the wash cleanup we utilize the contractor to perform any necessary maintenance of
our six ADWR jurisdictional dams that are inspected annually.
The first contract year was completed in June 2005 and the second year is now up for renewal.
Staff has been satisfied with the contractor’s performance and is in favor of renewing the
contract for a second year. The contract has an annual increase based upon the Consumer Price
Index (CPI). The CPI for this contract is 2.7%. The contractor has agreed to this 2.7% increase
in their overall rate schedule. Upon a new notice to proceed issued by the Town, the contractor
will begin fall scheduling cleanup crews. The new contract amount is $129,094.
Overall this program serves to lessen the liability for the town for fire hazards and potential
flooding, and reduces mosquito breeding areas in Town washes.
The following wash locations are scheduled for wash cleanup:
• Ashbrook Wash – Saguaro Blvd to El Pueblo Blvd
• Fountain Channel – El Lago Blvd to Panorama Dr
• Colony Wash – Both sides of Saguaro Blvd
• Cereus Wash – Saguaro Blvd to Shea Blvd
• Bristol Wash – Both sides of Sierra Madre Dr
Staff recommends renewal of the annual wash cleanup contract with TruGreen Landcare
in the amount of $129,094.00.

Reviewed: Tom Ward, Director of Public Works
RE: Easement Abandonment - EA05-14
16937 E. Malta Drive
Plat 204, Block 5, Lot 1
This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the ten (10’) foot public utility and drainage
easements located at the southerly property line of Plat 204, Block 5, Lot 1, (16937 E. Malta Drive) as shown in
Exhibit “A”. The property owners desire the assurance that any future improvements made to the lot will not be
infringed upon by the construction of utilities.
All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment proposal and have approved the
proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any drainage issues in addition to the
Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the Engineering Department that
there is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be abandoned, with the
understanding that certain lots within this subdivision are subject to lot-to-lot drainage runoff. The
property owners of Lot 1 are required to pass the developed flows generated by the upstream lots across
their property.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2005-41.

RE: Easement Abandonment - EA05-16
15136 E. Mustang Drive
Plat 604B, Block 1, Lot 10
This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the ten (10’) foot public utility and drainage
easements located at the northerly property line of Plat 604B, Block 1, Lot 10, (15136 E. Mustang Drive) as shown
in Exhibit “A”. The property owners desire the assurance that any future improvements made to the lot will not be
infringed upon by the construction of utilities.
All affected utility companies have been notified of this abandonment proposal and have approved the
proposed abandonment of this public utility easement.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any drainage issues in addition to the
Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the Engineering Department that
there is no need for the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed to be abandoned, with the
understanding that certain lots within this subdivision are subject to lot-to-lot drainage runoff. The
property owners of Lot 10 are required to pass the developed flows generated by the upstream lots across
their property.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2005-43.
