PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEMO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
DT: April 28, 2006
FR: John W. Morast, Asst. Public Works Director
TH: Thomas L. Ward, Director of Public Works
RE: Purchasing Agreement with
Five Star Ford
After completing a competitive bidding process, the Arizona Department of Procurement entered
into a contract with Five Star Ford for Vehicles – Alternate Fuel & Hybrid. The Town is
permitted to purchase a vehicle under the Arizona Department of Procurement contract without
additional public bidding. By utilizing the Arizona Department of Procurement contract, the
Town receives cost savings based retail value of the vehicle and on an economy of scale based
on the number of vehicles the dealer is able to sell using the contract.
The Town budgeted for an alternate fuel vehicle. The budget amount for the public works
vehicle is $30,000. The Town will realize a direct savings in the amount of gas used by the
vehicle, due to increase fuel efficiency. The Town will also realize a reduction of vehicle
emissions from the nature of operation by the electric hybrid motor itself. The new vehicle will
replace a 10-year old inspection vehicle in need of significant repairs. Five Star Ford is
anticipating a June 22, 2006 delivery date. If the vehicle is not delivered prior to the end of the
current fiscal year, June 30, 2006, the purchase agreement will expire and the vehicle will not be
purchased.
Staff recommends approval of the purchase agreement in the amount of $29,275.38.

Staff Recommendation: Approve Fiscal Impact: Yes $45,000
Purpose of Item and Background Information: With Town Council’s approval of the construction contract

With Town Council’s approval of the construction contract with Ardavin Builders, Inc., on April 6, 2006, for the
Avenue of the Fountains Enhancement Project, staff has identified a need for additional expertise. Since April 6, staff
has negotiated the following services with WLB Group, Darcor Electrical Engineers, CST, Consulting Structural
Engineers who provided similar services during he drafting of the construction drawings: field surveillance, electrical
engineering services, structural engineering services, drafting services and specialty inspections.
Town Hall staff will take the majority of the responsibility for managing the project and performing any
inspections within our realm. However, in order to achieve this redevelopment goal, a professional firm must be
hired to assist the Town with field surveillance, electrical engineering services, structural engineering services,
drafting services and specialty inspections, as the Town does not have structural or electrical engineers on staff.
These requested services are similar to those that have been used to help construct Parks and Recreation
infrastructure projects, the Community center and the new Town Hall.
Staff is not asking for additional funding for these services, but is simply asking Council to approve the contract.
Staff has negotiated a time and materials contract with WLB Group, Inc. and therefore controlling the amount of
on-site time required. The contact for $45,000 is a not-to-exceed contract.

of this Agreement of any employee of the Consultant or any tier of subcontractor or any other
person for whose acts, errors, mistakes, omissions, work or services the Consultant may be
legally liable. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set forth below will in
no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.
7. Insurance.
7.1 General.
a. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Consultant, Consultant shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies duly licensed by the
State of Arizona with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms
satisfactory to the Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in
termination of this Agreement at the Town’s option.
b. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Consultant. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Consultant
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
c. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage and self-insured
retention or deductible portions, except Workers’ Compensation insurance and
Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name, to the fullest extent permitted

representatives, officers, directors, officials and employees as Additional Insured as
specified under the respective coverage sections of this Agreement.
d. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms

set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Consultant shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount. The Town,
at its option, may require Consultant to secure payment of such deductible or self-insured
retention by a surety bond or irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit.
i. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Consultant shall execute a written agreement with
Subcontractor containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and

shall be responsible for executing the agreement with Subcontractor and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.

under this Agreement, Consultant shall furnish the Town with certificate(s) of insurance,
or formal endorsements as required by this Agreement, issued by Consultant’s insurer(s)
as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein and
provide the required coverage’s, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect. If a
certificate of insurance is submitted as verification of coverage, the Town shall
reasonably rely upon the certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage but such
acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the insurance requirements or
obligations of this Agreement. Such certificates shall identify the contract work number
and be sent to the Director of Public Works or his designee. If any of the above-cited
648823.1 4

forward renewal certificates within ten days after the renewal date containing all the

INTER OFFICE MEMO
TO: Honorable Mayor and Town Council DT: May 17, 2006
THROUGH: Timothy Pickering, Town
Manager
FR: Julie A. Ghetti, MPA,CPA RE: Amendments to the Fountain Hills
Tax Code
All cities and towns in Arizona that impose a local sales tax have adopted the Arizona model city
tax code (MCTC). The MCTC was originally drafted in response to a recommendation adopted
by a legislatively created municipal sales tax study commission. The MCTC provides uniformity
for businesses, particularly for multi-jurisdictional taxpayers who pay not only to the state but
also to two or more cities and towns throughout the state.
The Municipal Tax Code Commission was created by the State Legislature to act as a forum for
discussion of all changes to the MCTC and is composed of nine city/town elected officials
appointed by the governor and legislative leadership. The Unified Audit Committee is composed
of city sales tax officials and representatives of the Department of Revenue. All proposed
changes to the code are reviewed by the Unified Audit Committee and approved by the
Municipal Tax Code Commission. Any changes approved by the Commission must also be
adopted by each city/town council.
The League of Arizona Cities and Towns maintains a master version of the MCTC and
communicates with cities and towns when changes need to be adopted. On Friday, May 12,
2006 the League forwarded the proposed changes to the Fountain Hills tax code requesting that
the changes be approved with an effective date of July 1, 2006. The changes become effective
no less than 30 days after council approval, thus the May 18th council meeting is the last chance
to approve them before the beginning of the next fiscal year.
The amendments proposed with Ordinance 2006-17 are a combination of changes to state statute
as well as an agreement made with state housing associations concerning federal low-income
housing programs. All of the amendments are designed to reflect recent changes to make
compliance with the tax code easier for businesses. The changes affect low-income housing
rentals and excess tax collection refunds (none in Fountain Hills).
Please feel free to see me if you have any questions.

Planning and Zoning Administrator
RE: SU 2006-04; “Starbucks” at Four Peaks
Plaza
LOCATION: 16815 East Shea Boulevard, Suite #106, aka Four Peaks Plaza.
REQUEST: For approval to open the business at 5:00 AM.
DESCRIPTION:
APPLICANT: Steven Morrow
OWNER: Karen Gleason
EXISTING ZONING: “C-2 PUD”
EXISTING CONDITION: Vacant Suite
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
NORTH: Single-Family Residential; zoned “R1-35”
SOUTH: Vacant Industrial; zoned “I-2 IUPD”
EAST: Four Peaks Plaza retail shop; zoned “C-2 PUD”
WEST: Four Peaks Plaza retail shop; zoned “C-2 PUD”
SUMMARY:
This request is for extended hours of operation. The new Starbucks coffee shop to be located in
Four Peaks Plaza would like to open at the company standard time of 5:00 AM. The rezoning
application for Four Peaks Plaza, Z1999-24 PUD, stipulated a business opening time of no earlier
than 6:00 AM without a Special Use Permit. The Starbucks will be in Suite 106, which is west of
the Target. The Suite is approximately 1,750 square feet.
EVALUATION:
The PUD for Four Peaks Plaza, Z1999-24 PUD, requires that all businesses that wish to operate
between 12:00 AM and 6:00 A.M. Monday to Friday mornings and 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM on
Saturday and Sunday mornings shall only be permitted to do so by a Special Use Permit. This
request by Starbucks is consistent with the standard hours of operation of many coffee shops in
the Phoenix Metropolitan Area and elsewhere in the nation. As well, the Starbucks on the south
east corner of Palisades Boulevard and Avenue of the Fountains opens at 5:00 AM.

SU2006-04

Several screening improvements are already present at Four Peaks Plaza in the form of landscaping
and fencing. There is a 10-foot landscape buffer along Shea Boulevard, landscape islands in the
parking lot area, and landscaping along the front of the buildings. A 3.5-foot screen wall also exists
along the north property line along Shea Boulevard to screen the parking lot area from the
residential properties across the street. There is also approximately a 200 foot parking lot buffer
between Suite 106 and Shea Boulevard. In addition, the majority of the vehicular traffic at Four
Peaks Plaza moves in an east-west pattern therefore minimizing any potential headlight activity
towards the residential properties to the north.
The PUD for Four Peaks Plaza, Z1999-24 PUD, requires that all businesses turn off their wall
signs between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 A.M. This regulation does have a provision that
if a Special Use Permit is granted to allow extended hours of operation the business lighting
regulations can be amended to match the hours of operation for that particular business. Staff is
suggesting that a stipulation be added to the permit requiring that all signage shall be illuminated
no later than 11:00 PM and no earlier than 5:00 AM.
Zoning Ordinance 5.19.A on Noise Performance Standards requires that, at no point on the
property line shall the sound pressure level of any individual operation exceed the decibel levels
in the designated octave bands. All outdoor activities will need to meet this specified
performance standard. While at this time the applicant is not proposing any outdoor activities,
staff would like to add this performance standard as a stipulation to the permit to ensure that if
any outdoor seating is proposed in the future it is compliant with Town Noise Performance
Standards.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of SU2006-04 by a 5-2 vote with
the stipulations by Staff.
Staff recommends approval of Special Use Permit SU2006-04; a “Starbucks” coffee shop located
in the Four Peaks Plaza opening at 5:00 AM with the following stipulations:
1. The business shall not open to the public earlier than 5:00 AM
2. All Town Noise Performance Standards and Outdoor Lighting Controls shall be met
regardless of any other provision attached to this Special Use Permit.
3. All signage shall be illuminated no later than 11:00 PM and no earlier than 5:00 AM.

p.m.
Present for roll call were the following members of the Fountain Hills Planning and Zoning
Commission: Chairman Brown, Vice-Chairman Caldwell, Commissioner Downes,
Commissioner Forest, Commissioner Ewald, Commissioner Kasabuski and Commissioner
McDonald. Planning and Zoning Administrator, Richard A.G. Turner, A.I.C.P., Senior Planner,
Robert Rodgers, Planning Assistant, Planner, Kate Zanon and Recorder of the Minutes, Janice
Baxter were also present.
REGULAR AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM #4 - CONSIDERATION of a SPECIAL USE PERMIT to allow the hours of
operation to begin at 5:00 a.m. for a Starbucks to be located at 16815 East Shea Boulevard, Suite
106, aka Four Peaks Plaza. Case #SU2006-04.
Kate Zanon, Planner, gave the presentation and included a PowerPoint Presentation. Staff
recommended approval of Special Use Permit SU2006-04, a “Starbucks” coffee shop located in
the Four Peaks Plaza opening at 5:00 a.m. with the following stipulations:
1. The business shall not open to the public earlier than 5:00 a.m.
2. All Town “Noise Performance Standards” and “Outdoor Lighting Controls” shall be
met regardless of any other provision attached to this Special Use Permit.
3. All signage shall only be illuminated no later than 11:00 p.m. and no earlier than 5:00
a.m.
Vice-Chairman Caldwell asked if there were a proposed drive-thru. Ms. Zanon answered that the
suite was located on the interior of the building and a drive-thru was not possible. Vice-
Chairman Caldwell asked if rear signage had been requested that could be a negative to the
residents in the area. Ms. Zanon stated that she had not seen the signage proposal but the
applicant indicated that the only sign would be located on the front of their suite.
Commissioner Forest asked if there would be additional signage for “Starbucks” on the
monument sign located along Shea Boulevard. Ms. Zanon stated the monument sign located in
front of the “Target” store was scheduled to be turned off at 11:00 p.m. and turned on no earlier
than 6:00 a.m. Ms. Zanon also stated that not all businesses in the center advertise on the
monument sign and so far there was no indication “Starbucks” wished to advertise on this sign.
Steven Morrow, Looker and Cappello Architects, Inc., the applicant, was present. The
Commission had no questions for the applicant.

Commissioner Downes expressed his concern for a residual affect this Special Use Permit could
have if approved. His concern was that other businesses in the complex would request extended
hours making the PUD obsolete.
Commissioner Forest stated that breakfast businesses should be allowed to open earlier in the
morning because of the nature of those businesses.
Commissioner Kasabuski agreed with Commissioner Downes and stated that the small home
atmosphere could be lost if approvals of this kind were made.
Commissioner Downes stated he did not feel that “Starbucks” coffee shop would be affected by
adhering to the PUD and opening at 6:00 a.m. instead of 5:00 a.m. Commissioner Downes stated
that the PUD was in place for a reason.
Commissioner McDonald stated he approved of “Starbucks” opening at 5:00 a.m.
Commissioner McDonald continued to say that the early hours would benefit the people of the
Town who enjoyed the early morning hour and the amenity. Commissioner McDonald added
that any individual applicants requesting to be open earlier should be evaluated on an individual
basis.
Chairman Brown said he understood why a PUD for this center was agreed upon and at that time,
it was in the interest of the residents in this area. Chairman Brown added that there was a fear of
excessive lights and noise in a newly proposed shopping center. Chairman Brown stated that he
agreed with the Special Use Permit and that the early hour was appropriate for this kind of
business. Chairman Brown continued that he supported this request and if other requests were
made in the future, each would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Vice-Chairman Caldwell agreed with Chairman Brown and stated he would support this request.
Commissioner Ewald MOVED to recommend to Town Council approval of the Special Use
Permit request for “Starbucks”, case number SU2006-04, with the stipulations recommended by
Staff. Commissioner Ewald stated that he recommended approval because the request was not in
conflict with the operation of the shopping center. Commissioner Forest SECONDED the
MOTION.
Commissioner Downes nay
Commissioner Ewald aye
Commissioner Kasabuski nay
Commissioner McDonald aye
Chairman Brown aye
Commissioner Forest aye
Commissioner Caldwell aye
The motion CARRIED 5-2. Commissioner Downes and Commissioner Kasabuski gave the nay
votes.
