JOINT MEETING BETWEEN THE
TOWN COUNCIL AND THE
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
February 8, 1999
A public meeting of the Town Council in Special Session with the Parks and Recreation
Commission was convened and called to order by Mayor Sharon Morgan at 7:00 p.m., Monday,
February 8, 1999 at the Fountain Hills Town Hall located at 16836 E. Palisades Boulevard,
Fountain Hills, Arizona.
AGENDA ITEM#1:Call to Order — Present at roll call were the following members of the
Town Council: Mayor Sharon Morgan, Vice-Mayor Pen Mower, Sharon Hutcheson, Al Poma,
and Marianne Wiggishoff. Sid Apps and John Wyman were absent. Also present were the
following members of the Parks and Recreation Commission: Chairman Al Lorenz, Vice-
Chairman Michael Fleck, Tim Brown, John Kavanaugh, Noreen Kurdzialek, Kimberly
Marshburn, K.C. Rosburg.
AGENDA ITEM#2:Introduction of Recreation Intern,Elizabeth Ihnchak, University of
Illinois
Robin Goodman introduced Elizabeth (Tiz) and gave a brief statement about her and her
internship here. The Council and the Commission welcomed Elizabeth
AGENDA ITEM#3:Presentation and discussion of Desert Vista Neighborhood Park
Master Plan by Bob Thompson,e-group, Inc.
Chairman Lorenz introduced Bob Thompson of e-group. Mr. Thompson stated that this
is the fourth public meeting on this project. The project has evolved into the following
format. An Off-Leash Recreational Facility in the lower tier area, a large open area in the
southwestern of the facility as a combination of softball and soccer and some active uses
in the other quadrants. The site is surrounded by an alley, Desert Vista, Tioga and Tower
Drive. There will be an eight-foot loop sidewalk around the entire project. On Tioga
Drive it will be on the opposite side of the street, adjacent to the wash, and will
eventually connect to the trail system to Fountain Park. There will be 66 pull-in parking
stalls along Desert Vista and 30 stalls along the alley. There is also additional parking on
Tioga, Tower, and adjacent streets. The ADA accessible parking area will be off the
alley which allows access to all portions of the site without barriers. Access into the park
is at a two-story control building the lower level of which exits directly into the park for
maintenance purposes. The second story contains restrooms, soda stands, and control
office. Park facilities include basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, with their own
shade structure, 325 foot softball field (with 30-foot buffer) and 380 x 225 foot adult
soccer field overlaid on it, lit around the perimeter. There is a sand/structure playground
area, with some sort of a waterplay element, and two separate ramadas. A large berm
would be heavily landscaped and used as the entry point to the park from Saguaro. There

is a dual-entry point on Tower that allows entrance directly into the Off-Leash
Recreational Facility. There is also an entry point from Desert Vista. The active dog
area has been refined to allow for a larger, more contiguous, regular shaped open space
for active dogs and doubles for special events. The fence between the passive and active
dog areas is temporary and movable. There are two shade areas with sidewalk
accessibility. There is a maintenance entrance at Tower. The whole facility is lit.
Chairman Lorenz stated that future areas of improvement may include tennis, and
racquetball courts in response to citizen requests.
AGENDA ITEM#4: Discussion of Commission role priorities for 1999 and best
communicate issues to Council
Chairman Lorenz read Philosophy and Relationships from a 1/26/99 correspondence he
distributed to Mayor Morgan, Paul Nordin, Robin Goodman and Sub-Committee Chairs.
AGENDA ITEM#5: Review and discussion of the Five Year Parks and Recreation
Capital Improvement Plan (FY1999-00 through 2004/05)
Chairman Lorenz presented a general master plan indicating parks, golf courses (4), and
other "green" areas. He stated that the number of parks is sufficient as long as future
school district development includes a continued good joint working relationship with
Parks & Recreation. He would like the 2.7-acre parcel across from Desert Vista to be
tkary acquired for future facilities/programming. The Commission is looking for potential mini
parks with access into preserve area for hiking, walking, mountain biking, etc. Mr.
Lorenz noted that the above-mentioned property, behind the high school, McDowell
Mountain, and potential real properties represent available land to the City.
Chairman Lorenz made a recommendation that Four Peaks Neighborhood Park be
completed. This will be included in the proposed budget. The only major proposal
changes include upgrading, adding an in-line skating rink, improving parking, and
completing projects. It is hoped that this park would have the same integrity as Golden
Eagle Park. The budget will be discussed later on this year, as will future programming
for in-line skating. Vice- Mayor Mower suggested the consideration to combine the in-
line skating and the three basketball courts because in-line skating could cost over
$100,000 alone. Chairman Lorenz stated they would take it under consideration.
Public Comment:
Loras Rauch supported completion of Four Peaks Neighborhood Park,
complimented the over-seeding of the soccer field, and encouraged in-line skating
facilities.
Robin Goodman and her staff were complimented on the fine shape of the all the
fields.

Chairman Lorenz noted that it is necessary to establish connectivity between
public facilities for safety and recreational reasons. This includes sidewalks, trails,
bicycle routes. Roy Kinsey spoke regarding McDowell Mountain trails,
particularly the importance of access points. It was mentioned that in May the
Maricopa Department of Transportation may be considering grant money for a
bicycle path on the road between Fountain Hills and Rio Verde.
There was some discussion on the diversion dam between the high school and
Golden Eagle Park. There was also some discussion regarding an aquatic center
and a teen center. Tim Brown, representing the Boys and Girls Club, spoke about
the Club's future partnership with Fountain Hills, which is a good one. There was
mutual discussion regarding parameters for a possible teen/youth facility in the
future. It was suggested that this topic be given to the student council at their next
meeting.
In summary, Chairman Lorenz stated that the number one priority is a timely capital
investment in Four Peaks Neighborhood Park. No capital dollars at this time for finishing
Fountain Park and beginning Desert Vista Park due to the viability of Heritage grant
money, bicycle lane and sidewalk connectivity, and teen/youth facility and program
vision.
Call to the Public:
No comments.

cc. Mike Fleck, V.C. , Tim Brown&Noreen Kurdzialek, Sub-committee Chairs
From: Al Lorenz, Chairman of Parks and Rec Commission 1999
Topic: Parks and Recreation Priorities for 1999 and beyond
PHILOSOPHY and RELATIONSHIPS

• Maximizing tax dollars for city and school programs and facilities
• Self-sufficient programming revenue for Parks and Recreation
• Promotion of appropriate new programming
• Private/Public/Service Clubs partnership expansion
• Enhanced programming with Boy's and Girl's Clubs and other appropriate
organizations
• Continued expansion of our relationship with Fort McDowell Reservation for joint
recreation goals
• Incorporate a liaison to all recreation and programming group
SHORT TERM FACILITIES AND ISSUES (1-2 YEARS)
• Complete Golden Eagle and Four Peaks Parks as soon as possible
-Golden Eagle needs final landscaping and connectivity to high school complex
-Four Peaks master plan includes:
Sidewalks, landscaping, inline skating, improved basketball, parking lots,
storage, ball field, effluent watering, playground upgrades, expansion of
Four Peaks school consideration, picnic ramada
• Start Desert Vista Park process and acquire 2.5 acres east of Desert Vista Park
• Effluent water to be incorporated in to all turfed recreation facilities
• Connecting sidewalks to parks and other public facilities, master plan& start to
implement
• Civic Center completion fills niche for arts, programming, and economic development
• Enhancement of Fountain Park, many passive recreation needs can be filled
I.e. bocci ball, expanded play grounds, recreational volleyball, picnicking,
amphitheater, horseshoes, chess, restaurant or snack area, enhanced landscaping,
sidewalks, paddle boats, concerts, street theater, cultural events, Chautauquas, etc.
to name a few to consider.
• Focus on McDowell Mountain Preservation, trail system, and trail heads
• Kiwanis Senior Center and landscaping completion
• Preservation of appropriate native Sonoran desert
L
LONG TERM FACILITIES AND ISSUES (1-5 YEARS)
• Finish Desert Vista Park Complex
• Utilization of McDowell Mountain Park, better bike lanes along Rio Verde Highway
to park entrance and trail head access from Fountain Hills
• Teen Center facility and strategy expansion
• Joint city/school Aquatic Center
• Library/Museum complex
• Integrate High School complex into Golden Eagle Park
• Upgrade McDowell School to small neighborhood Park and play area for school
• Joint school/city neighborhood park where the next school facilities may be built.
• Continue sidewalk and trail system to all public facilities
• Development of McDowell Mountain trails and trail heads
I believe that these are the major opportunities and requirements to stimulate discussion
and policy implementation. I believe that these parks and facilities will give Fountain Hills
the core infrastructure to complete its path to the quality community that many people
have had for a vision since its inception.
Thanks for the positive, proactive support from everyone on these topics.
Regards,
Al Lorenz

Revised 5/12/98
filwAccess into the McDowell Mountains is a high priority for both the Parks and Recreation
Commission and the McDowell Mountain Preservation Commission. Acquisition of land for a
trailhead into McDowell Mountain Regional Park from Fountain Hills is desirable.
School District Partnership—Middle School is a project to develop a park adjacent to the new
Junior High School. The site should be 15-25 acres and acquisition should be coordinated with
the District. This site is seen as one of the final opportunities to locate a park next to school for
joint partnership. Acquisition could take one of four forms: purchase by the Town,joint
purchase with the School District, donation or some combination of the above.
Off-Leash Recreation Facility is being considered at a 1.8-acre site at Bainbridge and Golden
Eagle Boulevard or possibly located on Plat 302. The land at both locations is being donated to
the Town and considered for a future park.
Plat 302 Property is a 12-acre site which is proposed for a future park. The site is also proposed
for immediate use for effluent water disposal. This is proposed for a neighborhood park to
include multi-purpose fields,basketball courts, sand volleyball, and a children's playground. An
off-leash area is also being considered.
Fountain Hills Aquatic Center is estimated to cost$1.5 million. The facility would occupy 2.5
acres on the Fountain Hills Junior/Senior High School campus. The facility could feature a 25-
yard multi-use swimming pool certified to United States Swimming Association standards and a
,, 13-foot diving pool with a three-meter and two one-meter boards. The main pool would have a
zero-depth entry, water slide, and a sand volleyball court. The central building is planned to
house a dressing room/lounge area,classroom facility, and control center for operating the entire
complex. This facility is designed to meet the needs of a service area totaling 30,000 residents.
Falcon Soccer Field is a partnership project between the School District and the Town to
develop additional multi-purpose fields adjacent to the High School. The Sanitary District is
also interested in this site for effluent disposal. Proposed uses include soccer,football,band,
band, P.E. classes, and cheerleading practices.

MEMORANDUM
TO: T ON BLE MAYOR MORGAN AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: PA.1 DIN,TOWN MANAGER
DATE: AU i' ST 11, 998
RE: FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN
The attached two charts represent my five-year financial projections. The first chart
shows five-year revenues and expenditures projected for the general fund and the second
shows projections for the street fund. As in the past, the general fund continues to be the
primary barometer of the Town's financial health. In preparing the attached charts, the
following assumptions were used:
• Housing starts remain consistent for two more fiscal years. Downturn begins in 01-
02 and continues to 02-03 and beyond.
• Building permit fees increase twice during the next five years.
• State shared revenues increase significantly in 01-02 due to new census figures being
used.
• Local sales tax receipts remain constant (in spite of housing downturn) due to
increases in local retail sales over the next three to five years. (third shopping center,
etc.)
• New community center costs are included as presently estimated.
• Due to no present (accurate) information (or Council policy direction), no funds are
included for Fountain Park improvements, Golden Eagle Park dam modifications, or
Shea Boulevard improvements.
It is, of course, possible to use other or alternative assumptions in preparing a five-year
projection. In my judgement, these assumptions are reasonable and conservative. Using
more conservative financial assumptions, especially with the revenue projections, we can
help insure, to the best of our ability, our future financial health.
As a result of this analysis, the following "results" (conclusions) can be derived:
• The present and next two fiscal years will be critical to our long-term financial
condition.
• The building slow down (whenever it happens) will have a major financial impact on
our municipal budget. This impact can be offset with increases in state shared
revenues and in local retail sales.
• With the community center now beginning to take its "financial" place as one of the
four priorities, less money will be available for streets and parks. (Law enforcement
basically holds its present position with some minor reductions.)
The logical recommendation that flows from the analysis is: for at least this upcoming
fiscal year, the Town should not take on new projects without identifying an additional
source of funding for the projects. "Additional funding" can include savings from
existing budgets as well as new or "extra" revenue identified from either existing or new
sources (e.g. grants).
A final note (recommendation) is, that as savings occur from reduced expenditures in any
area, these savings can be used for additional street and park work. If the past indicates
future, it is likely that significant savings will be achieved, and that our financial position
will be better than what is shown. (For example, the projected 1997-98 year-end balance
was slightly more than $3 million, and the actual amount will be approximately $5.7
million.) Nonetheless, in financial planning, it is important to prepare for a less than
optimal situation.
